In fact, viewed through a scope of more than a century of local history, his tenure in the village was brief. But Chauncy Samuel Harmon Heft a lasting im­ pression. He was a first-rate educator, an inspiration to his students, and leader of a talented faculty that staffed Nashville High School some sixty years ago. “As I think back from my 75-year vantage point, Nash­ ville High School had some excellent teachers in the period when C. S. Harmon was superintendent,” recalls Kenneth A. Meade, a Nash­ ville native now of Franklin. “I think I received my in­ spiration to teach and guide young people in their education from observing those teachers.” Harmon’s faculty was a highly efficient, multitalented group. “As I remember, any of them could step in and teach another’s class when there was illness,” noted Meade. “I remember no substitute teachers except when a regular teacher was gone for a long period.” Harmon, born in Quincy in 1859, came to Nashville in 1917. He was then in his late 50’s and had just resigned the school superintendency at Whitehall, Michigan - a post he had held more than a dozen years. He had also served several previous years in the same capacity at Athens. Harmon’s early teaching career had been somewhat out of the ordinary. After receiving both his A. B. and B. S. degrees from Albion College and following his marriage, Harmon and his bride went West. “They left for Idaho, where both taught on the Nes Perce Indian Reservation, located between the Snake and Clear Water Rivers,” recalls the Harmons’ daughter, now Mrs. Walter (Augusta) Vogt of Man­ chester, Michigan. The 1880’s journey to Idaho was made under arduous conditions of the time, and was not without mishap. “Mother and Father traveled nine days and nights by train, being delayed by sandstorms and landslides,” added Mrs. Vogt. In time, the Harmons became homesick for family and Michigan, and left their teaching posts on the Idaho Indian reservation to return home. “Father, who was also a registered pharmacist, then purchased a drug store in Grand Rapids,” recalls his daughter. It was later that Harmon decided to return to the educational field - a decision that eventually led him to Nashville in the midst of the World War I era. “Mr. Harmon was superintendent of schools after Mr. Rockwood, star­ ting in the fall of 1917 and going into the 1920’s,” remembers Kenneth A. Meade. ““He He taught Chemistry and Physics, and was one of my favorite teachers,” noted Meade. (Another was Fanny Springsteen, prinicpal under Harmon, who taught Plane and Solid Geometry and Advanced Algebra to Meade). “I was first introduced to teaching when, as a senior, I helped Mr. Harmon as the chemistry laboratory assistant,” said Meade, who is now associated with Oakland University at Rochester, Michigan, as an adjunct professor of engineering. “As a reward for helping him, Supt. Harmon let me do a number of advanced experiments from a college chemistry laboratory manual.” The boiler room in the basement of the old Nashville High School building was the scene of one of Supt. Harmon's famous annual chemistry experiments. (Photo loaned, courtesy Kenneth A. Meade) Meade credits this en­ couragement from Harmon for helping a great deal in a college course Meade took in the fall of 1921 when he went on to Michigan State Normal College (now Eastern Michigan University) at Ypsilanti. “Mr. Harmon is respon­ sible for convincing me I should go on to college, major in science and become a teacher,” explained Meade, “so I was very fond of him.” Meade, who subsequently did graduate work at the University of Michigan to earn his M.S. degree in 1929, recalls another individual who was greatly influenced by C. S. Harmon before the superintendent’s years in Nashville. “One of his students at Whitehall was Arthur Raymond Carr,” explained Meade. “Dr. Carr later founded the College of Engineering at Wayne State University and was its first dean.” During the time that Meade was still in high school here, Carr’s wife, Edith, came to Nashville to finish out the 1917-18 term of Gladys Hunt, a teacher of Latin and History who left to get married and moved to Panama during World War I.

Vernripntville navyman serves on amphibious transport ship — By Clayton Scott Jr. ABOARD THE USS PONCE - In November, Kenneth D. Croff, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth L. Croff of 2497 North Ionia Road, Vermontville, completed a five and one-half month deployment to the Mediterranean Sea and returned to his homeport of Norfolk, Va. A Navy seaman, Croff, is assigned aboard the am­ phibious transport dock ship USS Ponce which served as a unit of U.S. Navy’s Sixth Fleet during its Mediterranean deployment. “I like it on this ship because it’s different,” declared Croff. “This is the ‘Gator Navy’ and I think we do a wider variety of com­ plex operations on this ship as well as hit more liberty, ports,” he added smiling. Croff said he joined the Navy for the adventure and to see the world. Capable of carrying over 900 combat-ready Marines and about 2,500 tons of heavy equipment, the Ponce’s primary mission is to con­ duct amphibious operations and when directed by competent authority, land Marines and equipment on any beach in the world in support of U.S. policy. Both troops and equipment can be launched by helicop­ ter-launching two at a time from the large landing platform or “flight deck” on the after part of the ship - or by launching landing craft from a “well deck” that opens to the sea from the Family Planning Clinics scheduled The Barry-Eaton District Health Department Family Planning Clinics will be held on January 8, and January 22, from 7-10 p.m. at the Health Department located at 220 W. Court Street in Hastings.

The Ponce can carry up to six am­ phibious transport helicopters and up to 12 preloaded craft. Virtually a floating city, Ponce provides Croff and his shipmates with many of the conveniences that he en­ joyed in Vermontville. The ship has two retail stores, a soda fountain, a bakery, a 3,000-volume library; a tailor shop, a hospital, three barbershops, a laundry; and many other facilities. “My job on the Ponce as a deck seaman is to maintain the cleanliness of the ship,” declared Croff. “My ship­ mates, in my division, and I do a lot of painting, standing watches on the bridge and assisting the Officer of the Deck.” “Everything that I do on the Ponce is a challenge and I feel that everyone is doing an important job,” said the 1977 graduate of Bellevue High School. During the recent deployment, the Ponce was one of about 35 ships and 200 aircraft in the'Sixth Fleet which has the mission of applying naval power where, when and if needed to preserve the peace across the 2,300-mile-long Mediterranean Sea and its adjacent areas. When not engaged in training exercises to enhance fleet operational readiness, the Ponce made ports of call to cities along the Mediterranean coastline. During the cruise, Croff visited in the ports of France, Spain and Italy. Since joining the Navy^the 20-year-old Croff has also visited in Cuba, Haiti, Jamaica and the Virgin Islands. “I’ve had the chance to see different countries of the world without it . costing a cent,” said Croff. “Most of the people in the United States will never get a chance to visit these places in a lifetime.” The amphibious transport dock is a class of ships named for U.S. and territorial possession cities, which in turn take their names from prominent men in history who have made important contributions to the exploration and development of this country. The Ponce was named in honor of J(uan Ponce de Leon and the city of Ponce, Puerto Rico. The Ponce combines the functions of several different types of amphibious ships, including the troop tran- sport, helicopter carrier, flagship, attack cargo ship, and dock landing ship. “This Mediterranean cruise has been very rewarding because of the liberty ports we visited,” said Croff. “The gator Navy is the amphibious Navy and destroyers can’t do what we do. We can land Marines on any beach and go all the way in, whereas the destroyers can’t.” During his off-duty hours at sea, Croff worked on correspondence courses, played cards and watched movies. Kenneth L. Croff is a seaman aboard the Ponce and is responsible for maintenance work throughout his ship. "Everything that I do on the Ponce is a challenge and I feel that everyone is doing an important job.” (Photos by Bill Pointer) 4-H leathercraft training session planned — Through courtesy of Tandy, an Eaton County 4-H leathercraft training session will be held on Saturday, January 12, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The session, for leaders^ and teen leaders, will be at Tandy’s, 3222 S.

That’s because 16-year-old Curt has been formally released from attending classes at Maple Valley High School to allow him to pursue more challenging studies at Michigan State University in Lansing. Curt would have been a sophomore at MVH in the fall, but instead he has just completed his first .term at the honors college at MSU and is looking forward to another. Calculus, chemistry, English, and beginner’s tennis comprised his curriculum the first term. The son of Mr. and Mrs. David Tuckey, Curt was just 15 when he entered MSU. A well-rounded youth, he has experienced no problems adjusting to his college environment — both socially and intellectually. Curt commutes back and forth to MSU with another student So he is able to live at home, but he is looking forward to living on campus sometime in the future. While at school, three college counselors and ad­ visors have been assigned to assist Curt as he travels along the path of advanced learning. He has daily contact with one of the counselors and sees another weekly. All that attention is reassuring to Curt’s parents as he spends his day 25 miles from home. Mrs. Tuckey said, “We feel that they (the counselors and officials) are really there to make sure that cm huiiiii tills 60% flNtiH1 Pat.

His mother describes it as a quaint old building that has a homey atmosphere. It serves as a base for Curt — a place where he can go to relax between classes. Curt attended school in Charlotte through second grade before entering the Maple Valley school system. It was high school teacher Dorothy Carpenter who started the wheels turning for Curt at MSU by suggesting that he consider taking classes there in the summer. After Curt visited MSU for testing, college officials said it would be best for Curt if he left high school and enrolled for the fall term at MSU. His parents are appreciative of all the efforts made by the high school teachers on Curt’s behalf. They did everything possible to make his studies challenging, they said. However, the move to MSU was considered best because of the limited class offerings for him at the high school level'. He was given work that was different than the other students so that meant he was alone in his studies with no one to relate to except the teacher. It was a unanimous decision by the Maple Valley Board of Education to grant permission for Curt to attend MSU. Curt plans to graduate from MSU and is majoring in physics. He is contemplating a career in some type of research, but has not determined what specific field he will enter. Whether to enter MSU “was a hard decision,” says Curt who understandably had mixed emotions about leaving high school and his friends. But in the final analysis he says, “I’m glad I made the decision.” He still can keep in close contact with the friends he has from Maple Valley whom he enjoys seeing and his weekends include playing ping pong with them. He also attends some of Maple Valley’s extracurricular activities, like the senior play and the band concert. Plus, now there are more friends, the ones he has met at MSU. “There are no problems at all. Curt’s always had a lot of friends,” says Mrs. Tuckey. Homework was minimal during the last term, but he says,“I’m sure it will come...probably in the spring. Happy Birthday BABE from ME The world of science fic­ tion is intriquing to Curt, and he enjoys reading and writing about the subject. In fact, Curt already had one of his science fiction stories published. The 1,000 word story appeared in Science World, a national magazine which is used by junior high science students. Curt was in the eighth grade when he won his first writing contest. The topic was energy and Curt received a pair of tennis shoes and five cents for every word he had written. Books are one of Curt Tuckey's enjoyments. For pleasure, he en­ joys science fiction reading the most. Curt jumped from high school sophomore status this fall to college honors classes. He resides with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. David Tuckey, and brothers Chris, 14, and David, IT, in Vermontville. (Maple Valley News photo) Farm News.. Wheat and oats post record yields Record yields of winter wheat and oats highlighted the 1979 small grains season in Michigan, according to the Agricultural State’s Reporting Service.. The winter wheat yield of 43 bushels per acre soundly breaks the previous record of 40 bushels. Total winter wheat production was 33.8 million bushels, up 88 per­ cent from last year’s small Most hogs since WWII Michigan hog and pig million, for December 1979 numbers on December 1st through May 1980, 1 percent totaled 960,000 head, up 19 more than a year earlier. percent from a year ago. That’s the most hogs on Michigan farms since World War Two. Breeding stock totaled 139,000 sows, gilts and boars, up 4 percent from last year, but down 15. percent from June. Pork producers are reducing their breeding herd size due to the prospect of poor prices in the market place. Reinforcing that idea is a 21 percent increase in market hogs to 821,000 head on hand, destined to go to slaughter in the next six months. The fall pig crop totaled 794,000 pigs saved, 28 percent more than last fall and the largest crop since the spring of 1952. Average litter size slipped slightly to 6.9 pigs per litter. Farrowing intentions fof the next six months at 105,000 sows and gilts is riding the same roller coaster as breeding stock numbers. Intentions are virtually unchanged from a year ago, but are down almost 10 percent from last summer. Across the United States,hog inventories _rose 11 percent to 67 million head with breeding herds vir­ tually unchanged from last fall, but down 8 percent from June. Market hog numbers climbdd 14 percent. vFarrowings are expected to be unchanged from the previous year. These in­ tentions and projected litter size indicate a pig crop of 51 crop. The 785,000 acres harvested is 74 percent above the 1978 crop. The record oat yield of 61 bushels per acre topped the previous record by one bushel. A 25 percent drop in harvested acreage to 270,000 resulted in a 20 percent decline in total production. Barley production also4ell in 1979. The State average yield held steady at 47 bushels per acre but harvested acreage decreased by 2,000 acres to 17,000 causing production to fall 11 percent. Rye acreage was unchanged from last season but the average yield rose by 1 bushel per acre. Total U.S. winter wheat production for 1979 was 1.61 billion bushels, 29 percent above last year and- the second largest crop ever. Oat production was 534 million bushels and is the smallest crop since 1881. Barley production totaled 378 million bushels. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, January 9, 1980 — Page 8 Nashville Cub Scouts enjoy family activities Pack 3176 ended the year with a pair of family activities during Christmas vacation. The first was a skating party held at Thornapple Rink, Thursday afternoon, Dec. 27. Cubs, family and friends num­ bering about 75 skated for a couple hours, some sharpening their skills others just getting a little exercise. Four lucky skaters won free passes and all of the kids took home a candy cajje. Sunday evening 74 folks braved the fog and traveled to Grand Rapids to watch an Owls Hockey Game. It looked bad for the Owls when they lost the pre-game Stop & Go Shoot-out to the visiting Muskegon Mohawks. The game however was just the opposite, dominated by the Owls who won 10 to 4. The kids and most of the adults were unfamiliar with ice hockey but enjoyed the action. Lyle Wyskowski was glad he went because he won a Bee Gees album during the first intermission. The game was very fast and exciting and the crowd noisy. Some people found the action hard to follow and later said they wouldn’t care to see another game while others were fascinated and are considering season tickets! Most agreed that it was an interesting way to spend the evening and something different for the Cubs to experience. Vermontville Giri Scouts Troop 313 has ac­ complished quite a bit this year. They have a pen pal from Sweden and her name is Lena Gerre. They received a Christmas card from her, also. On Nov. 8 we invited the Cadette Troop to go on a hayride and cookout with us.

Increased yields for many vegetables more than offset other yield declines and were mainly responsible for the increase in overall production.

Production increases were scored by: cauliflower, processing tomatoes, fresh asparagus, and celery; all of which increased both acreage and yields. Output of carrots, plus fresh and processing snap beans in­ creased , due to higher acreage, while cucumber and onion production were up due to better yields. The most conspicuous decline in production was posted by cucumbers for pickles which dipped 6 percent. A 1,000 acre decline to 25,500 har­ vested acres coupled with a slight yield decline were responsible. Michigan, however, is still the largest producer of pickles in the Nation. For the U.S., production of 22 principal fresh market vegetables and melons in 1979 is estimated at 264 million hundredweight, 2 percent more than in 1978. The total crop was harvested from 1.62 million acres, virtually the same as the area harvested in 1978. The 22 principal vegetables and melons harvested during 1979 had a total value of 2.94 billion dollars, an increase of 6 percent over the previous year.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Vol. 107, No. 34 — Wednesday, January 16. 1980 Nashville candidates participate in lively forumIowa’s recently scheduled political candidates’ debate was cancelled last week, but Nashville’s version of a similar event came off as planned. Nine office-seekers for seven village posts to be filled by a February 18th primary (followed by a March 10th General Elec­ tion) participated in a lively forum hosted by the Nash­ ville Chamber of Commerce at that organizations’ monthly meeting at the Steak House Restaurant last Wednesday evening. Chanber president Charles Andrus, Jr., arranged the forum and presided over the discussion period. Each candidate was alloted a 10 minute" period in which to present his political views; then each fielded questions from the audience. Participating in the session were John Hughes, Lonny Kienutske, Carl Tobias and Calvin Rizor, all vying for one of three trustee seats opening on the village council April 1st; Harold Christiansen and Ted Spoelstra, both seeking election to the office of village president; and unopposed incumbents: Justin Cooley, village assessor; Susan Corkwell, village clerk; and Lois Elliston, village treasurer. A complete “Meet the Candidates” interview will be presented in the Maple Valley News in the near future, but, here briefly capsulized, are some of the thoughts expressed by the candidates at Wednesday’s forum. John Hughes, a teacher of Government and History at Maple Valley High School, told Chamber members that he was motivated to run for office because “citizens have a civic duty to participate in local government.” This is something he also encourages his students to do, Hughes said. Hughes said he foresaw no special problems facing Nashville at ’ the present time, but said he would like to investigate the possibility of the village becoming a 4th Class „city. ““This This is something to be looked into,” noted Hughes, adding that it was not necessarily his goal to see such a change, but he felt it was worthy of in­ vestigation. Lonny Kienutske, seeking re-election to a trustee seat he currently "holds by appointment, said/he became involved in local government by Council attending meetings, as a citizen, to better understand issues. “The council, at that time, lacked the ability to get the information out to the explained public,’’ Kienutske. Things have changed, he said, pointing out the recent job done by the Public Information Committee, which he headed, to inform the public of the proposed sewer expansion. “The sewer vote was won because the village was really informed,” said Kienutske, noting that an earlier vote on the same issue had failed. When questioned by An­ drus about the council’s recent authorization of pay for Kienutske to acquire right-of-way and con­ struction easements from property owners for the sewer project, Kienutske said, “I have not yet ac­ cepted any payment and will not, if it is determined to be illegal.” He added the matter is currently being checked into, and that he had abstained from the vote in which the council set his hourly pay at $10 per hour, an amount equal to what he would earn at his work. Kienutske is able to take time from work because he is self-employed. “The other council members did not have time to go out and get the easements,” he explained. To have hired the engineering firm to secure the easements would have cost the village between 2 or 3 thousand dollars, Kienutske estimated. Carl Tobias, who presently heads Nashville’s Zoning Board of Appeals and is seeking a seat on the village expressed the council, opinion that getting the new sewer expansion in operation is biggest item now facing Nashville. Because of his position as a zoning official, Tobias was bombarded Wednesday with questions Rep. Nash visits Vermontville Vermontville resident Carter Brumm (right) receives some assistance with his homestead property tax exemption form from State Representative Ernie Nash (R-Dimondale). Nash was at the Vermontville Public Library Thursday morning to assist senior citizens, veterans, and handicapped persons with the complicated exemption forms. This is the sixth year he has provided the service in his district. He conducts similar meetings at about a dozen locations in the area. The turnout was light this year and Nash said it might be because other organizations are offering the same type of .service now. He said another meeting in Vermontville might be scheduled this year if sufficient numbers of residents wanted him to tome back. (Maple Valley News photo) Incumbent Village president Harold Christiansen is shown standing at left as he speaks to the Nashville Chamber members at a candidates forum last week. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) about Nashville’s often controversial zoning’ ordinance, adopted by the village council in 1975. “The ordinance was worked out to fit the village of Nashville,” Tobias ex­ plained. “No one is saying it is perfectly fair as written.” He said action by several village officials is required to correct flaws in the law, and that seven or eight changes have already been made to the ordinance since its adoption. “We are going to have to test the ordinance and change it as necessary,” concluded Tobias. Calvin Rizor, a Nashville native who recently returned home after “disappearing for 20 years,” as he put it, said that he had decided to run for office because he had heard others express con­ cerns about the village. “Too often government goes beyond limits in setting regulations for us,” stated Rizor. He pointed to the sewer expansion project as being forced by “outside people,” referring to higher levels of government. “The only way for Nash­ ville problems to be solved is by Nashville people,” contended Rizor, adding that this requires both short and long range planning by the council. “We cannot afford to solve problems on a crisis basis only,” he concluded. Village president Harold Christiansen, seeking re­ election to his seat, stated a belief that changing the village into a 4 th Class city woujd involve costs far exceeding the benefits. Christiansen also spoke of the zoning problems. “I have tried for years to get people to work on the zoning committees without any luck.” he noted. “They serve Cont. page 11 — Four lives claimed in fire caused by careless smoking Careless smoking has been named as the cause of the early Thursday morning fire that brought death to four Vermontville residents, according to a spokesperson from the' Eaton County Sheriff’s Department.

In October, a cache of “goodies” un­ covered during an attic insulation job at Putnam Public Library revealed the life and times of a 12-year-old lad who had lived there in the 1880*8, while it was the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Putnam. Now, a treasure of another nature and smaller sort has been found in the attic area of the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Hughes of Nashville. During a recent re-roofing project, the Hughes discovered an old White’s Intermediate Arithmetic book inscribed January 25, 1880. A rusty nail was found driven through the volume, which was wedged, under the eaves. The book appears to have been passed through several members of the Rowley family. One name, Mae Rowley, is very clearly inscribed in the book; others, appearing to be Marvin and Jennie Rowley, are less distinct. Also found at the same time was a copy of The Nashville Holiday Messenger, published by Von W. Furniss at Christmastime 1908. Quaint black-and-white photos of children, dogs, sleds, Santa, watches, clocks, jewelry and numerous gift suggestions fill the pages of the small advertising flyer. Furniss was proprietor of a Main Street drug store that he owned solely or in partnership for 41 years. Although the condition of the paper is less than mint, the Christmas message it conveys is as timeless as the season. Along those same lines, Mrs. Arlie Stambaugh of Nash­ ville reports that she had found at her home an old medicine bottle from Boise's Drug Store, an 1880's predecessor of Von W. Furniss in what is now Simon Pharmacy. Mrs. Stam­ baugh said the bottle is undated. However, since it has been established that F. T. Boise sold the pharmacy sometime prior to 1888, we can assume her find is about a century old. Congratulations to first-time grandparents, Alyce and Robert Hosmer of rural Nashville.

He is survived, locally, by three sisters: Miss Dorothy Edmonds, Mrs. Nellie Moon and Mrs. Mary Mater. In addition, he is survived by his wife, Maude, a native of Niagara Falls, and one son, Robert, of California. Henry left Nashville when he was in his 20’s and had lived at Niagara Falls for 60 years. He was employed there for 35 years as an agent for the U.S. Immigration and Customs authority, in which capacity he checked persons entering this country at the U.S.-Canadian border. In­ cidentally, Henry was one of the individuals featured in a “Memories” story we did last year at this time, about an early New Year’s Eve roller skating party at Nashville’s old opera house. Nashville residents are reminded that January 21 is the last day to register for the upcoming village primary election, February 18. Since all four candidates for the three open trustee seats, and both candidates for village president, are all Republicans, the outcome of the election will actually be determined, in the primary race (except in the case of potential write-in candidates in the March 10th General Election). Therefore, next Monday’s registration deadline is very important for those persons interested in the government of their village, as it is their final op­ portunity to become a registered voter in time to participate in the primary election. Ifyou are not a registered voter, see Village Cleric Suzy Corkwell before the 8 p.m. Monday deadline. All nine candidates for the seven village posts opening in the spring were on hand at last Wednesday evening’s Nash­ ville Chamber of Commerce meeting, to participate, in a lively forum at which all were allowed to express their view on various political issues. A question and answer period concluded eaclrcandidate’s statement. The unique program was arranged by Chamber president Charles Andrus, Jr., and was greatly enjoyed by Chamber members-who found it most informative. Details appear elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News. We were sorry to learn of the death Thursday of Harry L. Rizpr, a lifelong area resident who passed away at his home in Nashville.

At that time, the Oughtons returned to Battle Creek where they had formerly resided. Rev. Oughton passed away in 1951. Mrs. Oughton has been at the Clark Memorial Home since 1970, but had been ill only four days prior to her death. She is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Peter (Ruth) Efremoff of Battle Creek, six grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and one brother, of DeWitt. Mr. and Mrs. Ard (Iza) Decker of Nashville recently returned from a 10-day trip to Florida. They accompanied their daughter-in-law, Mrs. Larry (June) Decker, and her daughter, Lori, on the journey south.

The January Jubilee meeting of the Church Women United of Barry County is set for 1 p.m. Friday, January 18th, at the Hastings Church of the Nazarene on North Broadway. Several local women plan to attend the event. Old Glory will continue to fly in Central Park in downtown Nashville, as a sign of protest against the holding of American hostages in Iran. But a new flag will replace the present tattered banner, Nashville’s village council decided Thursday. The local officials authorized purchase of a new flag, at the urging of trustee Forrest Babcock. The Nashville PoliceDept. handled 46 complaints during the month of December, Sgt. Eugene Koetje, acting chief, reported to the village council at last Thursday’s meeting. Included in the list were three fights, two prowler com­ plaints, one malicious destruction to property, and three larcenies. In addition, the local police department assisted the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, six times during the month, and aided Eaton County four times. Nashville officers issued five moving violation tickets and six parking citations. Sgt. Koetje reported three arrests during the month: one for driving under the influence of liquor; one for assault and battery; and another for failure to appear (in court), which was an arrest made for another police department. Also, the Ibcal officers revoked the driving privileges of a high school student; found one open door; and handled the case of an unlawful driving away of an auto, in connection with a breaking-and-entering complaint that was later dropped. The Nashville police cruiser was driven a total of 2,552 miles during December and used 241 gallons of gasoline. Koetje also received council authorization Thursday to have a closet built in the police department at village hall to store officers’ clothing, equipment and other police-related goods. Approximate cost of the closet will be $200. Nashville, again this year, will not participate in the annual Mayor Exchange Day - a traditional kick-off for Michigan Week in early May. Last year, Nashville village officials decided that benefits derived frdm the program did not equal the time, money and effort expended on the 1-day exchange, designed as a learning experience. Several ex­ pressed the opinion then that it was more of a social event, with the visiting dignitaries merely being entertained. The local council voted Thursday to have Nashville’s name exempted from the annual February drawing held in Lansing to pair cities and towns of comparable size for the exchange.

It appears that December was our busiest month. We were privileged to hear three educational talks. Firstly, SAM ROBINSON, of CAA, told us about preparing an emergency shelf to be stocked with staples; to be used during winter months, in case we become snow­ bound or were in­ convenienced by power outages. We received reading materials and a list of food stuffs that could be eaten cold or easily prepared. KATHLEEN BROOKS from the Kalamazoo SMCA office told of programs available that provide assistance to the elderly on winter heating problems and costs; about winterizing homes for maximum heat losses, and the proper agencies to contact for determining one’s eligibility and filing of forms. Lastly, Nashville druggist DAVID MACE showed us a film strip pertaining to the proper use of drugs, gave us reading material and a questionnaire to complete. At the December Site Meeting, President Babcock appointed Rev. Rhoades, Joe Tegel and Austin Schantz as the Nominating Committee to secure names for the 1980 officer positions. We had 47 in attendance at our Christmas party on the evening of Dec. 14th. Several of our excellent cooks prepared the entree’ of turkey, pie and biscuits, and the breads, salads, relishes and desserts were carried in by members. We invited everyone who had granted favors toward the Site to this party, and MIKE SLOCUM, of THE MIRROR’S IMAGE was a guest. Santa Claus came with candy and we exchanged gifts.

On Dec. 15th, 9 of our Nashville Site people responded to a dinner in­ vitation from the Woodland Site, and were each given a gift of treats to take home. We had a pleasant surprise on Dec. 17th when the tots from the Nashville Co­ Operative Nursery arrived enmasse at noontime, each bearing a package of Christmas goodies for a Senior. The children and their mothers had prepared the baskets at the Nursery, under the supervision of Mrs. Ossenheimer and Mrs. Kelty. They had decided to treat the Seniors rather then to give gifts to one another. What a wonderful way to teach children to be thoughtful toward others!

Nashville, Wednesday, January 16, 1980 — Page 4 The mild weather of December 1979 would have been viewed with great apprehension by Nashville’s early ice harvesters. In their day. Christmastime nearly always brought sufficiently cold temperatures to produce fine quality ice for the first cutting of the season. Before the days of manufactured ice or electric, refrigerators, only winter’s yield of natural ice from lakes and ponds could guarantee safe storage of fresh meat, milk and other perishables during the summer’s scorching heat. By late December, ice saws were in readiness along Nashville’s Thornapple River millpond. “The ice on the pond is about six inches thick, and the boys are testing their skates, while the ice har­ vesters are beginning to get their tools in shape,” ob­ served the Nashville News on a few days before Christmas 1901. Two days after the holiday, the harvest was well "John Miller has his ice house at Downs Lake crammed full of ice...of unusually fine quality, mostly 14 inches thick, and very clean"...said a 1929 News report. In this about-1915 photo. Miller and crew begin another annual harvest to provide ice for summer months ahead. Before the days of manufac­ tured ice and electric refrigeration, the millpond and nearby lakes offered Nashville a winter bounty to preserve perishables year-round. Miller harvested and delivered ice locally for over 30 years. underway. “Appelman Bros, have commented filling their mammoth ice house on the south bank of the river,” noted the News. “Ice is about eight or nine inches thick.” Appelmans’ could be expected to stock well over a thousand tons of ice in one season, layering it in mounds, of sawdust to save it from summer’s sweltering sun. Properly packed, little ice was lost through melting despite a year in storage. The winter of 1906 brought a bumper crop: “The ice harvest this year is ex­ tensive, with ice nearly two feet thick and very clear,” reported the News in mid­ January. “Wenger Bros, have put up 80 tons; William Woodard, nearly a thousand tons; and several private concerns, as much or more.” Grocery stores, such as Appelman’s; meat markets, such as Wenger’s; drug stores and hotels were some of Nashville’s early com­ mercial enterprises that took advantage of the river’s annual winter yield. Most business places filled their own specially constructed ice houses, built to store ice for their own use. Local farmers often did the same, cutting ice from' nearby ponds or lakes and stashing it in private storage houses. While industrious Nash­ ville folks were busy stock­ piling January’s ice harvest, railroad employees were busy on a similar project west of the village.

Drivers are not identified, though the Feighner family may have operated the business. Picture is undated but was probably taken after 1898 when the local Catholic parish remodeled church (in background) which was purchased from the Baptist Society in 1882. (Photo loaned, courtesy Mrs. Norman (Nyla) Sta.nton) “Michigan Central Railroad Company is cutting and shipping ice from Thornapple Lake in vast quantities,’’ advised the News in late January 1879. “A chute carries the cut block of ice to a loading platform on the siding and more than 200 carloads of ice already have been shipped from the lake to various stations on the line.” Apparently demand ex­ ceeded supply that year. “The boss of the operation announces they need 75 to 100 more carloads,” added the News report. Many years later, old pilings from this operation could still be seen in the lake. Synonymous with ice harvesting in Nashville is the name of the late John Miller, who died in February 1950 at the age of 74. John first started peddling ice in Nash­ ville in 1912. His horse-drawn wagon was a familiar sight on Nashville streets during the summer months, as he made his way from home-tohome, delivering the essential ingredient for chilling residential ice bo<fes. Equally familiar was the sight of an entourage of mostly barefoot youngsters trailing behind Miller’s wagon - all hoping to cap­ ture a stray sliver of ice to quench an August-parched thirst. In 1912, Miller’s first year in business, he bought ice for delivery. But the next winter and every winter thereafter, he put up ice on Downs Lake (often called Miller Lake), on his property northeast of town. z “John Miller has his ice house at Downs Lake crammed full of ice for the coming year,” noted the News in late January 1929. “He reports it is of unusually fine Quality, mostly 14 inches thick, and very clean.” Miller continued to peddle ice in Nashville until the summer of 1943. In a post­ retirement item on Miller the News pointed out an interesting fact:'“John says that in all his years of har­ vesting ice, he fell in only once. a Quite remarkable record, since the procedure for harvesting ice required that a “cutter” position himself close to a section of ice as he carved it out with a one-handled crosscut saw. Ice blocks were cut in sizes that could be easily handled - perhaps two feet square. Therefore, a carefully executed pattern and strict attention to business at hand were required by the cutter to prevent the unhappy fate of setting himself afloat. One local turn-of-the-century lad learned that sad lesson well. “Billy Smith, while cutting ice one day last week, made the mistake of standing on the strip of ice he was sawing out,” disclosed the News in early February 1900. “He emerged from the icy water both wiser and wetter.” VILLAGE OF NASHVILLE REGISTRATION NOTICE VILLAGE PRIMARY ELECTION...

Main St., Nashville Prayer is not always an easy topic for many people. Some people are actually afraid of prayer because of what it might do to them. I understand that fear. Prayer does involve dealing with un­ limited powers. That can be frightening. But Jesus enjoins us to proceed ahead anyway, to venture into the world of prayer with faith and confidence in God. When Jesus and his disciples entered the Garden of Gethsemane, he told them to "pray that you may be spared the hour of testing." (Lwke 22:40 NEB). They didn't, of course. They slept. But Jesus prayed. "Father," he said, "if it be your will, take this cup away from me. Yet Your will be done, not mine." person praying continues to pray until he is the one who hears, who hears what God wills. The immediate person, therefore, uses many words, and, therefore, makes demands...; the true man of prayer only attends. " (Soren Kierkegaard, JOURNALS) Can we attend in prayer to hear what God has to say to us. It could mean a change in your life. Just the kind of change this troubled world of ours needs. ■r- Rev. Dave Fleming STANTON 219 S. State St. First Congregational Church - Vermontville, Ml. Nashville, Mich. 852-0882 Michigan National Bank 194S. Main —726-0650 VERMONTVILLE, MICHIGAN Jesus' prayer was answered. Not by the cup being removed, but rather by his soul being calmed, a sense of peaceful quiet filled him. God provided strength; Jesus came out of the garden refreshed, resolved, able to face the trouble that awaited him. Too often we don't use prayer because we mis­ understand prayer. Jesus knew his turmoil and con­ cern, he felt the agony of wanting release. But he resolved that God's will be done, not his own. Jesus prayed realizing what it might do to him. Can we face the forces of God in prayer and allow God to change our lives? "The immediate person thinks and imagines that when he prays, the important thing, the thing he must concentrate on, is that God should hear what he is praying for. And yet in the true, eternal sense it is just the reverse; the true relation in prayer is not when God hears what is prayed for but when the "vs/ j—j REALTOR’ WOLEVER’S REAL ESTATE ELSIE E WOLEVER BROKER <9171 728-0837 RES 1 28 5 Main St NaSmville.

MOLLY TURNER �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, January 16, 1980 — Page 6 Sewer construction timetable subject of Jan. meeting — A timetable for launching Nashville’s sewer con­ struction project will be set at a special January 31st meeting of the council, village officials decided Thursday. Bruce Kuffer, represen­ tative of the Grand Rapids firm of Williams & Works, engineers on the $4.8 million expansion project, suggested the special session. Also expected to attend that meeting, in addition to Kuffer, are Bill Latsch, project manager, and Glenn Den Bestn, project engineer, both of Williams & Works; Robert Benzenski, bond consultant with Benzenski & Co. of Detroit; and Robert Hammel, bond attorney with Miller, Canfield, Paddock Sr Stone, a Detroit law firm. Kuffer outlined for the council Thursday the various steps that must be covered in a detailed timetable for the Nashville project. He told the council they must act on a User Ordinance and a Rate Ordinance, and also adopt a bond resolution. “All of this has to go in a diligent fashion, if we look at the end of February or first of March to get the project really moving,” Kuffer said. Thursday, the Nashville village council acted on a Engineering Step 3 authorizing Agreement, Williams & Works to proceed in obtaining municipal financing for the project, setting up construction, taking bids, and getting into construction. The January 31 meeting will provide a complete guideline for these various steps. Actual construction is not expected to begin before early summer. “If you said ^onight you wanted to bid the job, I think it would be the first of June before we could get the contractor and be under project construction,” manager Latsch told the council Thursday. He cited federal and state regulations, and necessary approvals and certifications as the major factors in the length of time needed to get the proposed construction underway. On the brighter side, Latsch told the council that, because contractors do not have a lot of work this coming season,, “We are seeing a very excellent bidding atmosphere.” Project engineer Glenn Den Bestn presented an artist’s sketch of Nashville’s proposed new lagoon - and irrigation wastewater treatment facility, to be located on Brumm Road northwest of the village, and explained its operation to village officials Thursday. The system will include one aeration and two holding ponds, encompassed by six irrigation pads to be planted with forage. Nutrients will be removed from the wastewater by irrigation of the forage, and the cleaned water will be discharged into the nearby Thornapple River. Crops on the forage areas connot enter the human food chain, Den explained/ The Bestn irrigation system will be used from mid-April to midOctober. During six winter months, wastewater will be stored in the holding tanks. Because of the aeration process, no odors should be noticeable from the collected sewage, Den Bestn said. In addition to 80 percent funding for the total project from state and federal agencies, Nashville received an additional 10 percent grant to construct the in­ novative treatment system, a process that is currently being encouraged by governmental agencies concerned with environment In other business Thur­ sday the council: Heard students representing the Maple Valley High School Student Council express concern about an S-curve at the railroad tracks on Nashville Highway, which the youngsters claim is hazardous in winter.

Wednesday, January 16 1980 — Page 8 Varsity drops another toughie sports Lions split week’s contests The Lions took command of the Middleville Trojans on Tuesday night, 65-57, but were unable to overcome league leading scorer, Ben Tower of Saranac, on Friday and dropped that contest 59­ 55. Middleville fell to Valley’s balanced scoring attack early in the first quarter. The visiting Lions scored 19 points to the Trojans 14 in that period and built the lead to 33-24 by the half. Free throws kept the hosts in the game as they scored 10 of their third quarter 18 points at the charity stripe. With 1:48 to play in that quarter, the hosts tied the Lions 41-41. But it didn’t take the visitors long to respond as they ended the period with a 45-42 advantage. With two minutes to play in the game, Valley was in command with a 61-46 lead. Final score, MV - 65, M - 57. Jeff Mead led the Lions by turning in a fine offensive performance, scoring 20 points. He was followed by Aaron Snider with 14 and Pat Kersjes with 12. Tony Joostberns pulled down 14 rebounds and Pat Kersjes, ten. If Valley had the power to replay one quarter of basketball Friday night, they would surely chose the second because in that eight minutes Valley let a very important game slip through their fingers. The first quarter was evenly played with the Redskins taking the lead 13­ 11 at the buzzer that ended that period. Eight of the Lion eleven points were scored by senior guard, Jeff Mead, who finished the night with a total of 18. But in the second quarter. Sometimes the bereaved do not talk at all. Their grief produces a kind of numbness and silence. It is difficult to comfort or help this kind of person. They do not respond to your presence or the things you say.

'Voqtr FUNERAL HOME in Nashville Phone 852-0840 the Lions couldn’t buy a bucket and the Redskins seemed to be able to score at will., Part of the Redskin advantage came from their domination of the boards. Valley could only grab 10 rebounds in the first half while Saranac pulled down 18. Valley went to the locker room at half-time trailing 33­ 18. Just when the ’ Lions started their comeback, the 6’8” Saranac center, Ben Tower, picked up his 4th personal foul and left the game. So with 4:16 remaining in the quarter, Valley went to work. Led by Aaron Snider's 12 points, the Lions outscored the Redskins 20-8 and came to within three (3841) of the visitors. But when Tower reentered the game in the fourth quarter, he gave the Lions a lesson in scoring. Tower poured in 13 of his team’s total 18 points in the fourth quarter and kept the game out of reach for the Lions. Valley’s attempt to overcome the Redskins came with 1:06 remaining to be played. Don Fox hit two free throws to put Valley within five points of Saranac. The attempt fell shortf however, and Saranac left the gym a 59-55 point winner. Jeff Mead again led his team in scoring with 18 points. Aaron Snider added 17 points. The Lions travel to Por­ tland on Tuesday and host Central Montcalm on Friday. JV contests begin at 6'30. Phone 945-9554 for ACTION Want-Ads! WE HAVE THE EARM BOSS The Lions continued to lose the close ones Friday as they dropped another league contest to Carson City, 65-61. The Eagles pumped out to a lg-9 point first quarter lead and widened the margin to 38-29 by half-time on the superb shooting of Steve Proctor. Proctor scored 20 of Carson’s 38 points himself. Foul trouble plagued the Lions in the second half as the visitors from Maple Valley tried to contain their hosts. Several times Lion defense brought them back to within one point of the Eagles, but each opportunity fell short as Carson City took advantage of Valley defensive lapses to put the game out of reach. Valley defense remained poised despite an Eagle press and Jeff Mead and Jeff Beebe managed to hold the hot shooting Proctor to 4 points in the second half. But it was too little, too late as the Eagle first half point advantage was enough to insure victory. The Lions’ scoring attack was well balanced. Led by junior Aaron Snider with 17 points and senior co-captain Tony Joostberns with 15 points and 8 rebounds, the Lions also had help from sophomore Jeff Beebe with JV dropped at Carson City The Maple Valley JV’s, after a Christmas vacation, had a difficult time at Carson City, losing 60-38.

January 16, 1980__Page 9 Senior trio holds key to Lion s success The Maple Valley Lions welcome new coach Natalja Meyer to the volleyball helm this season and will use a senior trio as the core to a successful opening season for the rookie coach. Tuesday Aspinall who has shown superb setting skills in the past will be centering the ball for the pounding hits of spikers Kathy Christopher and Joyce Warner. The three will likely hold the’key to the volleyball success of the 1980 Lions. Backing up that core group will be setter Angie Webb, a junior who also has exhibited some promising setting skill. Completing Meyer’s starting lineup will be juniors Diane Cook and Brenda Browne. Meyer started out with a 5­ 1 offensive setup geared Front row (from left): Diane Cook, Jodi Forell, Angie Webb, Tuesday Aspinall, around setter Aspinall. Joyce Warner. However, the appearance of Back row (from left): Coach Natalie Meyer, Carla Sutfin, Brenda Browne, Webb on the scene has Shelly Wiser, Dawn McCrimmen, Marsha Zinger, Kathy Christopher. necessitated a change in (Reminder photo) setup to a 6-2 formation to take advantage of the two “outstanding setters” in Meyer’s opinion. The Lions seem to be ' strongest in the setting category. Sophomore Carls Sutfin is listed on the varsity roster because of her own outstanding setting abilities though her playing time may be limited behind Aspinall and Webb. Senior Terrie Houston will steady the backup group with her spiking abilities. Also son the roster as spikers are junior Jodi Forell, Dawn McCrimmen, Shelly Wiser, and Marsha Zinger. The Lions have played one match thus far, a 3-15, 15-13, 5-15 loss to Montabella. Meyer detected receiving service skills as the biggest weakness of the 1980 team and will be working on that aspect of the game as schedule play continues.

Funeral services for the victims were held Sunday in Evart. . Former Lansing residents, the Davis family had moved to their home on Ionia Road, about a mile south of Ver­ montville, just last summer. The children attended Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High. Another son, sixteen-yearold Thomas survives. He was reportedly spending the night with friends when the fire occured, according to the sheriff’s department. The blaze was reported at 1:19 a.m. by Darwin Alldaffer, a volunteer firefighter for the Ver­ montville Fire Department, who happened to be driving past. The home was already severely engulfed in flames when Alldaffer spoted the blaze. The intense heat also prevented the Vermontville Fire Department from immediately entering the home to attempt to rescue its occupants. Family members were all sleeping, said the sheriff’s department, and there was no evidence that anyone awoke and tried to escape after the fire was in progress. Vermontville firefighters were assisted at the scene by the Nashville-based department. About two dozen firefighters were on the scene until about 7 a.m. Mr. Davis was employed at Builders Ready-Mix in Lapsing and Mrs. Davis was the owner of Fashion Center Beauty Salon, also in Lan­ sing. Their Vermontville home was the former residence of Mr. and Mrs. Pete Benton. Stale Senator Richard Allen (R-Ithaca), a farmer and agricultural leader in the Michigan Legislature, gave qualified support to the Soviet corn embargo in a speech to farm leaders in his home area this week. Allen, who operates a Gratiot County farm growing 400 acres of corn, said his first reaction when he heard plans for the em­ bargo was a straight­ forward, direct, “You can’t do that to us!” But according to Allen, on further sober reflection, the desperate nature of the in­ ternational situation had to be recognized. “And, I realized,” said Allen “we don’t just grow corn on that farm, we’re growing sons too. Give us a choice of fighting with the corn or the sons and we’ll choose to fight with corn!" CARE aids Cambodians and boat people “The appalling condition of Cambodian refugees arriving in Thailand stuns the mind and shocks the conscience,” said Edwin Wesely, Chairman of CARE, recently returned from the Cambodian refugee camps. CARE-MEDICO nurses are caring for the sick in the camps. One of these nurses, Cynthia Tice, received her master’s degree in nursing from Wayne State Univer­ sity in Detroit.

Ted Spoelstra, a present member of the village council whose term expires April 1, is challenging Christiansen for the presidency. “Had I known I was going to run against a candidate whose name is a household word in Nashville,' I might have had a second thought,” observed Spoelstra, but added that he believed it was time for Harold to take a rest and let the younger people take over. Spoelstra praised Christiansen’s Years of service to the village. “It is very difficult for just plain ordinary folks like us to step into trustee seats and take, , over the very difficult task of running a village,” noted Spoelstra. He said he had spent four years on the council, and it took him one year “to get his feet wet.” Spoelstra said citizen input was very much needed at council meetings. “We moved to larger meeting quarters hoping to get larger crowds,” he explained, but they have rjot materialized. When quizzed by Andrus about plans to promote better citizen attendance at meetings, Spoelstra said he would try to have better from front In the first relief airlift from the U.S., nearly 90,000 pounds of baby food donated to CARE by Gerber Products was sent to Thailand at no Vermontville Syrup Festival meeting The regular meeting of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Association will be held January 15th.

Carroll Wells, Phone 726­ 0129. M.V. Drift Skippers Action Ads Serving our country Allen went on to outline the program he felt was necessary to prevent economic disaster falling largely on farmers but also on the general economy due to balance of trade problems from lower commodity prices. The major thrust should be that grain be withheld from export and not be available to the market, held in the government reserve and used for any food or feed purpose, or used as a replacement for any grain that could go to any of those areas. Essentially that means using the grain for fuel, burning it directly or con­ verting it to alcohol for gasohol. If the amount of grain apparently to be withheld from Russia were to be converted to alcohol without diverting other grain to the market it would require spreading the sale over a period of time, at least a number of quarters with additional free storage time, according to Allen. The Senator went on to say that in his opinion farmers should object unless these objectives were met and other restraints were im­ posed on other segments. He gave as examples a restriction on the impact of caviar and denying visas for tourists and TV networks to attend the Olympics. “Military warfare is going out of style and economic warfare is coming inj’ concluded Allen. “As far­ mers we must realize this country is going to lead with food and grain exports; that’s our Sunday punch! We have to develop policy that keeps the agricultural economy from being the shock troops, expendable in battle. Gasohol presents a practical, though long range solution.” Similar speeches were made in St. Johns and Breckenridge where Allen addressed gasohol meetings arranged by the Cooperative Extension Service.

(Maple valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday. January 23. 1980 — Page 2 Nashville News A lovely antique glass-gronted bookcase is the latest addition to Putnam Public Library. The beautiful piece was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur (Margaret) Bateman of Nashville in memory of her mother, the late Mrs. Von W. Furniss. She was the former Miss Edna Johnson, a teacher in the early Nashville school system. Made in Saginaw, the bookcase originally belonged to Miss Josephine Nevins, also an early Nashville schoolteacher. A lifelong friendship was formed when the two young teachers first became acquainted here in 1901. Subsequently, Josephine moved to the Detroit area, married a man by the name of Keal, and finished her teaching career as an English professor at Wayne State University. Edna married Von W. Furniss, longtime Nashville drug store owner and businessman, and retired from full-time teaching to raise a family: daughters, Margaret and Pauline. Throughout those years, Edna was very active in the local Woman’s Literary Club, serving much of the time as parlimentarian for the organization. The bookcase given to Edna by Josephine, and later inherited by Edna’s daughter Margaret, will fill a very vital and appropriate need at the library. It will be placed in the second floor “Meeting Room” that was restored by the Nashville Woman’s Literary Club in the 1960’s. There, in answer to a December plea from the Putnam Library Board, it will house the library’s art books collection. Also displayed in that room is the collection of Putnam Public Library’s religious books, donated mostly by Rev. Clyde C. Gibson before his death. That collection is housed in another glass-fronted case, acquired from the Gibson family in 1977. A gift of bracketed wall shelving for books was also received by the library last week, thanks to the generosity of Mrs. Viola Beystrum of Nashville. Since it is past Christmas and several weeks before her birthday, Mrs. Nellie Moon was doubly delighted with a surprise party at her home last Monday afternoon. Stopping by with ice cream and other refreshments were Mrs. Helen Seller, Mrs. Nan Crafts and Mrs. Helen Furlong, all of Nash­ ville. The ladies also brought along a game of Flinch for an enjoyable afternoon of entertainment and visiting, and they presented Mrs. Moon with a lovely narcissus plant. Although the gathering was in observance of no special occasion, it was a most memorable day for Mrs. Moon. Mrs. Bertha Becker ofNashville recently spent ten days in Greenville at the home of her sister, Mrs. Eileen Neitzel, to aid her with preparing for a move into a new senior citizens apartment complex there. Mrs. Neitzel is confined to a wheelchair due to illness. A Thursday visitor at the home of Mrs. Bertha Becker of Nashville was her grandson, Leon Doty of Battle Creek. Mrs. Eliza Emery of Nashville and Mrs. Irene Gaskill of Charlton Park Road were Sunday afternoon callers on a friend, Mrs. Don (Ruth) Shepard of rural Charlotte. Mrs. Shepard is presently confined to bed with broken vertebrae, sustained in a recent fall.

CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT 852-9192 Nashville By Susan Hinckley daughters and families: Mr. and Mrs. Herbert (Florence) Hillard and Mr. and Mrs. Clare (Audrey) Steward, all of rural Charlotte. Stories of Nashville’s past continue to bring responses from the present, as the joy of early photos is shared by many former village residents. Pictured in a recent “Memories” piece on Nashville High School’s traditional Junior-Senior Hunt was the junior class in the year 1916. In that group was a student named Mayme Deller. After the story appeared, Mrs. Clarence Shaw of Nashville sent a copy to Mayme, who is now Mrs. Borough' and lives at Rogers City, Michigan. Last week, Mrs. Shaw (the former Bernice Mead) received a response from her friend Mayme. She wrote that she had enjoyed seeing the picture of her class, and also noted that she had received previous “Memories” clippings that had featured Nashville’s early baseball and football teams. The clippings had been sent to Mayme by a friend because Mayme’s brother, the late Sterling Deller, was pictured in them. Sterling is wellremembered here as an outstanding athlete. The Deller family lived west of town and the children attended country school at Barryville before coming to Nashville High School. In Rogers City, Mayme now lives near another longtime local resident, Mrs. Frank (Lola) Reynard, who moved north in 1972 to be near her daughter after living 50 years on a farm southeast of Nashville. Mrs. Reynard celebrated her 90th birthday in December. The Nashville Assembly of God Church will be hosting a musical entitled “Music Machine” at 7 p.m. Wednesday, January 23rd. The performance Will be presented by the youth of the Hastings Assembly of God. Special music was enjoyed at the Nashville Church of the Nazarene Sunday evening when “The Canadian Singers” from Ontario, Canada, performed. A fellowship followed the service to give the congregation an opportunity to meet the vocalists. A Saturday visitor at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas De Camp of Nashville was their daughter, Mrs. Arlen (Barbara) Heise of Woodland, and her daughter, Becky. Saturday evening callers were the De Camp’s son and his wife, Fred and Lois De Camp of Eaton Rapids, and friends, Mr. and Mrs. Dendall Guy of Bristol, Indiana. The Fred De Camps were also Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas De Camp. Mrs. M. Dewey (Mary) Castelein, Jr., of Nashville is home now after being hospitalized at Pennock over the New Year’s holiday. She was taken ill while grocery shopping, and spent several days in the hospital with symptoms of flue or inner ear infection. Mary had now improved and her husband, Dewey, who has been hospitalized several times recently due to emphysema, is also home now and doing well. Mrs. Gaylord Gray, her daughter, Mrs. Samuel (Judy) Loy, and daughter-in-law,'Mrs. Jerry (Lucy) Gray, all of Nashville, enjoyed a Monday trip to Grand Rapids to calll on Lucille’s sister, Mrs. Paul (Marcile) Guy. The ladies enjoyed lunch together and an afternoon of visiting. Recent guests of Rev. and Mrs. Richard Wadsworth of Nashville,were Mr. and Mrs. Leward Smith, who were enroute to their home at Remus following a 3-week stay in Florida. The Smiths arrived in Nashville Saturday night. They enjoyed Sunday services at the Church of the Nazarene, and later had Sunday dinner with the Wadsworth family. Letters received last week expressed appreciation for the recent “Memories” story on C. S. Harmon, Nashville’s school superintendant during the World War I era. Writing was a former Harmon pupil, Kenneth A. Meade of Franklin, and Harmon’s daughter, Mrs. Agusta Vogt of Manchester.’ In his letter, Meade expressed the thought that the published photo of Harmon showed “the compassion and empathy he had for others.” Mrs. Vogt said she only wished her father could see the story. “It surely would please him,” she wrote. Harmon died in 1942. After leaving Nashville in the early 1920’s, he taught at Holland High School until his retirement at age 70, in the late 20’s. “I also enjoyed the Christmas ‘Memory’ and Howard Brumm’s recollections,” wrote Kenneth A. Meade. “The skits he (Brumm) describe^ must have started after I graduated (in 1921) as I do not remember we ever did anything like that.” Brumm had written about a Christmas skit presented by high school students just prior to the annual holiday vacation. “I do remember that we had to participate in programs for high school assemblies,” added Meade, who recalled that as a senior he had to give an oration on “The Irish Free State” at such an event. In remembering other school assemblies, Mead said that as a junior he participated in a debate. “As a sophomore I had to give an illustrated talk based on slides that accompanied the large stereoptican the school then owned,” he noted. As a freshman, Meade had to give a recitation he had memorized. “Sometimes we presented book reviews,” continued Meade. “Of course these programs went on throughout the year.” The Christmas skits of which Brumm wrote took place in the early to mid-1920’s; the most memorable one being a parody based on a faculty meeting. Brumm, a Charlevoix resident, is a 1925 graduate of Nash­ ville High. Several local youths from the Nashville Church of the Nazarene will participate in an unusual activity the night of February 1st. The program, called a “Teen Lock-In,” will see youths from throughout the local church zone enter the Church of the Nazarene at Grand Ledge at 7:30 p.m. Friday and remain there until 9 a.m. Saturday. Various activities and games will keep the youngsters entertained, and they will also view two inspirational movies, “Pilgrim’s Progress” and “Christiana.” The Nazarene’s Teen Lock-In is all part of the church’s international observance ofYouth Week, beginning January 27 and ending February 3rd. In connection with that event, the local Church of the Nazarene youth will resume weekly 7 p.m. Wednesday fellowship meetings at the Nashville church. The first of these meetings will be held January 23rd. Mr. and Mrs. Adrien Pufpaff of Nashville were recently called to Fremont by the illness of her brother, former local resident Bob Davis. He is currently confined at Mercy Hospital in Muskegon following emergency gall bladder surgery and complications of pneumonia. At this writing it was not known how soon he would be released. Robie and Adrien spent three days at the Davis home in Fremont, being snowed in shortly after their arrival there. Later, they were able to make their way to Muskegon to visit Bob at the hospital there. Mrs. Ben (Thelma) Mason of rural Nashville was confined at a Grand Rapids hospital last week. At this writing, she was expected to return home Sunday. Quentin Ward of rural Nashville returned recently from a two-weeks holiday stay with relatives in North Dakota. Upon his return home, he and Miss Cinda Murphy of Lansing enjoyed a weekend trip to Chicago by Amtrak to visit her brother and his family, Jeff and Rae Murphy apd daughter, Kathryn. Jeff is enrolled in graduate studies in the para­ legal field at Roosevelt University there. Upon completion of his studies, the Murphys expect to return to Michigan in the spring. Jeff is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Murphy of Nash­ ville; and his wife is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roger Hosey of Kinsel Highway.

The Builders Class of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet this Wednesday, January 23rd, at 8 p.m. at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Pennock of Bivens Road. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Andrus, Jr., •former Nashville residents now of Hastings, on the birth of a daughter January 12th. The new arrival weighed in at 7 lbs., 3% ozs., and has been named Ericka Lynne. She will be welcomed home by 4-year-old twin brothers, Dave and Jon. Charles Andrus, Jr. is proprietor of the Nashville Auto and Farm Supply in our village and is also president of the local Chamber of Commerce. The Nashville Fire Dept, has had a very hectic schedule lately, responding to several major fires. The latest call, at the time of this report, was a pole barn fire on Morgan Road near the Greggs Crossing intersection, about four miles west of the village. Local firefighters received the alarm about 2:40 a.m. Sunday morning, January 13. They found the structure totally engulfed with flames when they arrived, and they stayed on the scene two hours. The property is reportedly owned by Dr. Oscar De Goa of Hastings. Cause of the blaze is currently under investigation by authorities. Arson is suspected. Neighbors had reported seeing strangers in the area on several occasions, including just prior to the fire. Mr. and Mrs. Nate Sheldon of rural Nashville returned recently from a 3-day trip to Ludington to visit their son and . his wife, Jim and Lori Sheldon. While there, the Sheldons enjoyed several excursions to the Lake Michigan shoreline to watch wildlife near the area and to view unusual ice formations on pilings near the water’s edge. Lake Michigan is not frozen over yet this winter, due to our abnormally warm weather. However, the Sheldons witnessed high tides, strong winds and low visibility conditions on the lake during their stay. Lawrence Horn of Nashville is recovering well from surgery he underwent January Uth at Leila Hospital in Battle Creek. At this writing, it is expected he will be con­ fined for two weeks following his operation. We wish him a speedy recovery. His address at Leila Hospital is Room 612, 300 North Ave., Battle Creek, 49017. The Mayo-Evans Birthday Club met January 10th at the home of Mrs. Laura Kelly of Bellevue for a noon potluck dinner. At a business meeting conducted later by president Theda Gardner, the club decided to donate $5 to both the Barry and Eaton County “March of Dimes” campaigns. In other business, discussion of eligibility for club membership resulted in a decision that members should presently reside, or at one time have lived, in the Mayo-Evans neighborhood. A get well card was signed by members of the club and sent to Leona Blanchett. Una Callihan suggested that a card also be sent to Maybelle Wyatt, a former club member now residing in Adrian. Vanessa Carpenter invited the club to her home on Butler Road for a potluck dinner and white elephant bingo party in February, if roads are then passable. Visiting and bingo concluded Thursday’s meeting. The annual “Sweetheart Banquet” of the Nashville Baptist Church is set for February 9th at 8:30 p.m. at the Sveden House in Lansing. Adults of the church will attend the Saturday evening event, at which special music will be furnished by the Dodson Family of Battle Creek. The theme of the banquet is “The Greatest of These is Love.” Several members of the Maple Grove Birthday Club met last Tuesday at the home of Mrs. Bea Rogers of Dowling. A lovely day was enjoyed as members brought fabric and cut out blocks for quilts the club will be assembling in the future. Sorry to learn of the death last Monday of the Rev. Lloyd A. Mead, 95, who was a Nashville area native and Methodist minister for over 70 years. His sister, Mrs. Clarence (Bunny) Shaw, resides in Nashville. Rev. Mead and his wife, the former Lola Hyde, have been at the Barry County Medical Care Facility since their return to Michigan last fall from their retirement home in St. Petersburg, Florida. Rev. Mead was ordained in 1907 and in 1977 received the Golden Cane Award from the Michigan Conference of United Methodist Churches for being the eldest minister in the conference. Rev. Mead served various Michigan pastorates until his retirement in 1948, including the Nashville and Barryville charge in 1943-44. He and his wife moved to Florida following his first retireriient, but he was called later to serve at Chevy Chase, Maryland, and later, despite failing health, at St. Petersburg. His second retirement was in 1964. Rev. Mead is survived by his wife; two.sons and two The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, January 23, 1980 — Page 3 daughters (none local); his sister, Mrs. Shaw; nine grand­ childfen and four great-grandchildren. Condolences are extended to the family. In late December we reported on Mr. and Mrs. Jack Wallace of Guy Road, new local distributors of Hearth Mate stoves made in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. We incorrectly identified Mrs. Wallace as Ruth. Her name is June. The Wallaces have lived south of town for three years and she is employed as a substitute teacher at Fuller Street School. Jack works at Fisher Body in addition to selling the wood­ burning units which can be installed in an existing fireplace or used as a free-standing stove. Mutual January wedding anniversaries were the occasion for a recent celebration dinner at the Steak House Restaurant in Nashville. Present for the January 9th event were, from Nashville, Rev. and Mrs. E. F. Rhoades and Mr. and Mrs. Vern Hawblitz. Attending from Battle Creek were Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Minertz and Mrs. Evalee Marshall. Special guests were January newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Leonard (Veda) Shull. Following dinner, the party retired to the Shull home on Center Court for a time of visiting. Mrs. Mildred Bursley of Nashville was a recent weekend guest of her neice and nephew-in-law, Vivian and William Trombley of Lansing. A special treat while there was visiting the Trombley’s neighbors, the Bill Berrys, to watch a football game on a life-sized television screen in their home. Later, Mrs. Bursley and the Trombleys also enjoyed attending a- movie at a Lansing theatre. Sunday dinner guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence (Margaret) Reid of Nashville were Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Reid and children of Charlotte; Mr. and Mrs. Arden Reid and children; and Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn Reid and family, all of Nashville.

L Interest Earned Effective Yield ______ ' . , �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, January 23,1980 — Page 4 Memories of the pas (Author’s note: A year ago, we wrote a short piece on the old Wolcott House, based on information available to us at that time. Since then, hours of scouring old newspapers and con­ sulting other local sources have produced enough ad­ ditional information to warrant repeating the story with some embellishment and a bit more accuracy.) Like the mythological phoenix of ancient Greece, Nashville’s Wolcott House on South Main rose from the ashes of its predecessor. “The site of the burned Nashville House is being cleared and early in the spring will go up an elegant hotel, 40 x 80, of two stories, to be known as the Wolcott House,” advised the Nash­ ville News in January 1878. Perhaps the Wolcott House also represented a dream risen from ashes for its young owner, Charles C. Wolcott. In 1875, Wolcott had purchased two Main Street lots in the business district for the sum of $600, and constructed thereon a hardware store. Commerce was so good that by 1876 an addition was necessary. “Our popular and en­ terprising hardware and .implement dealer C. C. Wolcott, is building a second store alongside his present place of business, to be featured as an agricultural store,” noted the News in September 1876. (In time, Nashville residents came to know this dual establishment as Glasgow’s, then later, Keihl’s Hardware). But Wolcott’s life, suc­ cessful though he was, was ringed with tragedy. As he was enlarging his store, his young wife, Chloe, was battling the dread tuber­ culosis. After several months of suffering, she finally succumbed to death in December 1876, at the age of 25. Less than a year later, Wolcott’s handsome residence south of Quaker Brook was destroyed by fire of mysterious origin. That was in September 1877. Four months later, he began construction of his Wolcott House on the site of a burned out hotel, known as the Nashville House. (This is the present-day location of the former Total Station). Wolcott’s hardware business continued to thrive, as his elegant hostelry took shape. By mid-April 1878 the foundation walls of the new Wolcott House were com­ plete and the carpenters were ready to commence work on the frame. By mid­ May the structure was well underway. “A large force of workmen M-T DANCE STUDIO Opens For 2nd Year With... BALLET Mon. 6:30-7:30, Mon., Feb. 4th- »12/Mo. TAP & JAZZ 7:30-8:30, Mon.

Main St. Vermontville Phone 517-726-0634 By Susan Hi are rushing construction of the Wolcott House on South Main Street,” reported the News. “It will contain 27 sleeping rooms and two or three parlors.” The end of May saw the finishing touches, added to the hotel and the workmen responsible for its con­ struction staging a celebration in observance of the occasion. “The new Wolcott House is practically completed and is, indeed,-' one of the finest hotels to be found in this part of the state, for a small town,” declared the News. “The carpenters finished up Friday and Friday night had their big dance, for which 31 tickets were sold.” While the crew was credited with construction of the basic structure, an itinerant craftsman, who passed through Nashville by chance, was responsible for creating the crowning glory of the Wolcott House. “A roving carpenter who happened along two weeks ago turned out a nice decoration for the cornice,” modestly noted the News, "and fashioned an arch that sets off the structure nicely.” The work of that unidentified “roving car­ penter” highlighted the lovely facade of the Wolcott House, which was graced with a second floor balcony topping a full-length porch below. Inside the hotel, an open stairway led from the foyer to the upper story guest rooms. The main level housed two parlors, a large office, a spacious dining room, and a kitchen with adjoining quarters for a livein maid. Though the carpenters’ May dance celebrated completion of the hotel, work on the structure continued throughout the summer of 1878. “An addition is being built on the Wolcott House, to be used as a washroom and wood house,” advised the ' News in early July, “Charlie Wolcott is bound and determined to have the biggest hotel in the county.” When completed, the Wolcott house would have conveniences not to be found in any other Barry County inn, contended the writer. “One of these is a water system, whereby guests may draw warm water from a spigot for shaving or bathing,” elaborated the News. “A 35-gallon tank in the attic holds the water and a heater in the kitchen heats it and sends it back to the bathroom.” At the end of July, the News reported that the Wolcott House was being painted and would be for­ mally opened about August 15. “It will be one of the finest hostelries between Jackson and Gra nd Rapids, ’ ’ opined the local press. In September, Wolcott purchased and installed in the lobby of his inn a brand new fire-proof, burglar-proof safe, weighing nearly 1,000 lbs. The Wolcott House added a touch of elegance to South Main Street in Nashville's Victorian era. A decorative cornice and arch were added to the facade of the Wolcott House by a roving carpenter who passed through Nashville in May 1878, just as the inn was nearing completion. One of the village s earliest plumbing systems was featured in the new hotel, earning it the reputation of the best in Barry County and one of the finest between Jackson and Grand Rapids. Charles C. Wolcott, Nashville's enterprising hardware merchant, built his fine hotel on the site of an earlier inn that had burned. His own home south of Quaker Brook was destroyed by fire, less than a year after his young wife died of tuberculosis. Successful though he was, Wolcott's life here was ringed with tragedy. He later retired in New York state. (Below) “C. C. Wolcott, proprietor of the Wolcott House, is bound to have everything needed to make a first-class hotel,” observed the News in January 1879 when the leading local entrepreneur added to his lobby a clock, seven feet high and four feet wide, decorated with the business cards of 15 Nash­ ville establishments. Conveniently situated midway between Michigan Central Railroad’s depot and Nashville’s business district, and within easy walking distance of each, Wolcott’s inn soon became a favored stop with traveling salesmen and touring thespians who staged frequent presentations at Nashville’s popular Opera House, located on Washington Street. With clever promotions, Wolcott successfully tied his hotel and hardware trade - together. “C. C. Wolcott, our en­ terprising implement dealer, has received a carload of reapers and mowers, which he expects- to sell this season,” advised the News in May 1879. “He offers a free dinner at the Wolcott House with every sale this month.” Such tasty meals were served at the Wolcott House dining room that local ac­ colades were soon earned. In 1893, Nashville’s first high school alumni banquet was hosted at the Wolcott House. But, by then, its first proprietor had left Nashville for New York state. In August 1881, Charles Wolcott had sold his hotel to A’. S. Foote of Battle Creek for the consideration of $8,000. At the same time, Wolcott also disposed of his hardware business, which was pur­ chased by C. L. Glasgow of Jonesville. After Wolcott’s departure . from Nashville, the hotel he built continued to serve as a comfortable “home away from home” for many a weary traveler. Wolcott and his second wife paid a return visit to Nashville in 1905, to gredt old friends. By then, Mr. and Mrs. Casper “Cap” Bowen owned and operated the hotel. Proprietors prior to the Bowens’ tenure in­ cluded, in addition to Foote, a Mrs. Osman and W. E. Buell. Owners following the Bowens time at the Wolcott Cont. page 5 —- Happy “50” Birthday Wife & Family Have you heat'd someone say, - " We see nothing of each other when alive, why should I visit after someone is gone?"

Maple Valley High School teachers expressed concern,, over the low enrollment in some college oriented courses during a discussion held at the January 14 meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education. Teachers said they felt that the low enrollment in college preparatory classes indicates that students who are capable of performing satisfactorily in these courses are not enrolling in some of them. Concern was also ex­ pressed over the need to a consider four-year scheduling program for students to help provide a better career centered program for-more students. Because of the small enrollment in some courses, it is possible that in future years it will be necessary to offer some courses on an alternate year basis. The board referred the matter back to its class size committee for further study and recommendations. A priority area will be to get students enrolled in classes according to their ability. It was also agreed that principal Burr Hartenburg is to continue with the scheduling program. Board members Russell Geary and Charles Viele attended a prio meeting of the class size committee which also included Hartenburg and interested high school teachers. The board members ap­ proved easements for the new sewer lines in Nashville for the Fuller Street school and also the two lots located on’M-79 at Fuller Heights. It is necessary that a lift station be installed on the Fuller Street property. Lonny Kienutske was present at the meeting and answered general questions regarding the easements. A leave of absence was granted to custodian Philip Garlinger through June 30, 1980 which will include payment of the basic in­ surance program for this period of time. The board members heard a general report on the state assessment program by Hildred Peabody. (The results of the state assessment are being reported in a -separate ar­ ticle.)

The board members ap­ proved the purchase of two steel insulated doors for the school bus garage at an installed cost of $4,400.00. These doors will be chain hoist operated and will replace the doors on the North end of the garage. The doors are being purchased from Morning Star Builders. Bill and Mary Hecker were present at the meeting and discussed the general in­ surance program including the areas of building and contents coverage, school owned band instruments coverage, and general liability coverage. The board members voted to continue these forms of coverage through the Hecker Agency. A hearing was scheduled for bus driver Joyce Dillon for Monday night, January 21, 1980; at 7:00 p.m. A special meeting will also be held on Monday, January 28; to review the present contract with the teachers which expires June 30, 1980. It is anticipated that negotiations with the teachers will begin within the next couple of months. Three parents were present at the meeting ex­ pressed concern over the general conduct on bus 75B which is driven by Bill Reynolds. It was agreed that the transportation super­ visory personnel will schedule a meeting with the parents of children riding that bus along with the bus driver. VET BONUSES - Acting GovrBrickley has signed into law HB 4383, which extends eligibility for Vietnam Era bonuses to veterans who lived in the state for the six months prior to January 1,1961. Deadline for applications is June 30 of this year. ENERGY CONSERVATION - Gasoline consumption in Michigan during 1979 decreased by more than 5 percent over 1978 and the Commerce Department has credited con­ servation-conscious Michigan motorists. All forms of conservation are essential today. EXPENSE FUNDS - All public officeholders in Michigan who maintain an expense fund must file an Officeholder Expense Fund Report by January 31, covering all receipts and expenditures for the 1979 calendar year. This is separate from campaigns. DIFFICULT YEAR - Governor Milliken set the tone for this legislative year in his State of the State address when he said that state revenues will be tight and that few if any new programs can be initiated. He again reminded the legislature of the long-overdue need for reform of the workers’ and unemployment compensation programs in our state. A major point of consideration was the fact that with state revenues remaining relatively static due to hard times in the auto industry, it may be necessary to make-^ome cuts in current state programs. Legislative leaders agreed with the Governor that that is far more preferable than raising taxes to increase revenue. The consensus was that although his proposal for aid to distressed cities may indeed be needed, it will have difficulty gaming approval. SNOWMOBILE HANDBOOK - The DNR has published a Snowmobiler’s Safety Handbook which explains laws and Tegulations, and provides suggestions on appropriate clothing and preventing emergencies. Copies are free from any DNR field office or DNR, State Fairgrounds, Detroit 48203. NO SHUTOFFS - Lt. and Acting Gov. Brickley has ap-. proved rules to help eliminate utility shutoffs for home residential customers this winter.

On Tuesday, they lost 78-76 to Portland and took over the bottom spot in the Tri-Central League stan- dings. But on Friday the Lions hosted second place Central Montcalm and sent them home losers 67-64. One thing is for sure - Lion games are never short on Maple Valley's Tony Joostberns soars high for these two points in Friday's 67-64 win over Central Montcalm. Joostberns finished with 10 points. (Maple Valley News photo by Steve Jacobs) excitement! In Tuesday’s contest at Portland, the Lions just couldn’t get things rolling. Turnovers kept the Lions out of contention in the first half/the Raiders led by as many as 11 in the first half. Valley started the comeback in the third quarter. Junior center Pat Kersjes hit 3 buckets in a row early in the period and Valley began chipping away at the Raider lead. The Lions scored 25 points in that quarter but allowed their opponents 22 and still trailed 62-56. Red - Raider shooting kept the Lion defense busy and Lion errors made it easy for the Raider to keep shooting. Valley just couldn’t seem to. make any headway. Lion accuracy at the freethrow line helped Valley maintain a close distance from Portland. Then with 1:56 remaining to be played in the game, the Lions began to really breathe down the Raiders’ neck. A Jeff Mead steal put MV one point away from tieing the score. A trip to the freethrow with 1:00 to go, offered a chance to go ahead of Portland for the first time. But the Lions failed to convert the 1 and 1 and had to settle for last place in the league until the final miss, Valley had made 20 points at the charity stripe of 27 attempts. Cont. page 9— The Maple Valley J.V.’s spent another week winning one game and losing one. On Tuesday night they traveled to Portland to lose a close 57 to 54 decision. The Lions were trailing 56-54 when some poor free-throw and field goal shooting hurt them. The last 2% minutes the J.V. Lions missed 4 straight one and one freethrow attempts. Four Lions scored of the nine Lions seeing action. The scoring leaders were Walt Maurer, 15 points; Eric Wolff, 14 points; Tom Brooke, 13 points; and Alan Hamilton, 12 points. On Friday the J.V.’s bounced back with an en­ joyable 62 to 44 victory over Central Montcalm. The Lions played well the first half jumping to a 38 to 20 lead. The Lions had a let down in the second half but still preserved the win. All twelve Lions took part in the fine win. Scoring for the Lions were Tom Brooke, 24 points; Eric Wolff, 15 points; Walt Maurer, 14 points; Dom Morawski, 6 points; Alan Hamilton, 2 points; and Mike Hull, 1 point. Their league record is now 4 wins and 3 losses. Overall the J.V. record is 4 wins and6 losses. On Tuesday they travel to non league Caledonia and on Friday they host league rival Montabella. Freshman basketball now 6-2 The Maple Valley Fresh­ man Basketball team kept rolling last night by beating Central Montcalm 63-51. The Lions came back from a 5 point deficit at half-time playing superbly the rest of the game. Leading the Lions attack was Tony Dunkleburger with 18 points and 8 rebounds. Mickey Mahan tossed in 18 points and Randy Joostberns added 15 points and 6 rebounds. The Lions record is now 6-2 being good enough to give them a share of the league’s no. 1 spot. Saranac ran into an overpowering Maple Valley Freshman Basketball team Monday night. The Lions scored ,51 points while holding Saranac to only 28. Leading all scores was Tony Dunkelburger with 16 points and 12 rebounds. Also helping the Lions cause were Pete Koetji with 12 points and 5 rebounds and Dan Halsey with 6 points and6 rebounds.The Lions bench came out and played good basketball to keep the Lions game moving. The Lions record is now 5-2 and they will go against a tough Central Montcalm Wednesday night at 6:00. 7th Grade Basketball defeated Saranac 39-29. Scoring: Jeff Hamilton, 23; Jim Symonds, 6; Ryan Trowbridge, 6. Volleyball gets great serving but no win The Varsity Volleyball team was defeated by Lakeview by scores of 15-7,2­ 15, and6-15.

League foe Central Montcalm has given the Lions more woes than any other league rival. But it was all Valley Friday night. The Lions jumped out to a lead they relinquished only once all night. The Lion bench played a most important part in their fourth victory. Tony Joostberns, Jeff Mead, and Pat Kersjes found them­ selves in ealry foul trouble. Valley used John Kent, Todd Gearhart, Terry Pierce, Brian Hamilton, and Don Fox to keep the visiting Hornets at bay. The Lion offense continued to produce points but their defense often sputtered allowing Central Mont­ calm to remain (lose. Free-throw shooting kept Valley in the lead as both teams scored 25 field goals, but the Lions hit 17 of 25 while Central made 14 of 16 from the charity stripe.

The Mople Valley News, Nashville. Wednesday' January 23. 1980 — Page 9 Letters home by Nina Wolpe I have been sitting here adding three items to our Washington memory scrapbook: an invitation to the White House Christmas Ball, a large silver safety pin, and a pair of nylons. Believe it or not, all three are part of the same story. Five hundred congressional wives probably went to the beauty parlor that afternoon. Some of us were rushing out to buy the last-minute pair of glass slippers, and I was making sure that Howard had picked up his rented tuxedo. We had all received invitations that read: > The President and Mrs. Carter request the pleasure of your company at a Christmas Ball to be held at The White House on Tuesday evening December 11,1979 at nine o’clock. Black Tie. Enter Southwest Gate. Howard and I were first invited to the White House one year ago for a lovely dinner welcoming new members of Congress. We had been seated at Vice President Mondale’s table, and that whole evening was a pinch- me- to- see- if- this- is­ real affair. Since the dinner, we have attended a variety of social and official events in that splendid, historic setting, so the ball would be beautiful, I knew, but not edged and glowing with a First Time -thrill for us. We hoped the Christmas ball would be that rare kind of Washington party (as it did, indeed, turn out to be), one with no hidden agenda, no guest list planned from computers for political purposes, no business-asusual current under the. social surface. We were to talk later, as we drove home in our pumpkin, about the relaxed ACTION-ADS spirit of the ball and the happy feeling that we had spent a lovely evening with friends to whom we now are bonded by our shared, crazy­ quilt lifestyle. But mostly, we laughed about the funny things that had happened to us that night. The last second before we left to the White House, the zipper on my velveteen skirt brokeopen. Now I don’t have a closet filled with gowns, and I don’t have a fairy godmother (at least I haven’t met her yet), so the next best thing was a safety pin - and crossed fingers! We drove into town and joined the half-hour-long receiving line. Guests looked handsome and elegant in tuxedos, strapless gowns, sequined jackets. I began to feel more and more un­ comfortable. It became obvious to me that not only was I precariously pinned together, but that I had also slipped into - and was now slipping out of - nylons much too small for me, probably left behind at the end of my mother’s recent visit with us. I was beginning to sigh to myself that these kinds of predicaments happen only to me when, suddenly from behind us in line, John Buchanan from Alabama groaned, “I think my tux suspenders just un­ fastened.” I silently blessed him for his faulty suspen­ ders. We moved slowly forward up the stairs to -the Grand Foyer. I told other guests about the time in 1903 when Congressman and Mrs. Slayden were invited to the Teddy Roosevelt White House. Mrs. Slayden wrote later in her journal, “In that deadly period when you stand on your own and other people’s feet indefinitely before going through the line, I felt something like marbles on the floor, and several people spoke of it. Once, when there was room enough to see, we found they were camphor balls. Senator Blackburn, who was jam­ med in with_ us, began to laugh and whisper to his wife, and finally confessed t hat he had found his pockets full of them, and rather than carry them around with him all the evening, had been surreptitiously dropping themeversince he came in.” The White House Christmas decor was beautiful. Red and white poinsettias were massed at the entrance. Each room glowed with soft lighting. The Christmas tree in the Blue Room was 19 feet tall and decorated with or­ naments painstakingly hand­ crafted by Corcoran Gallery art students. Green boughs and pine cones decked the mantlepieces. The whole effect, throughout the rooms, was one of old-fashioned simplicity, subdued “in respect for the Iranian hostages,” Mrs. Carter had said on a TV interview. We greeted the Carters. I ' told Mrs. Carter, as we shook hands, that I thought her trip to the Cambodian refugee camps helped focus world attention on that tragic situation. It was- evident from her reply that what she had seen in those camps had been an emotionally traumatic experience for her. Both she and the President looked tired. They /must have been exhausted from the Iranian ordeal we all had on our minds. After the receiving line, President Carter asked the 1200 people present to share a moment of silence for the hostages, and asked us to pray together for their safety. We then entered the East Room, where Abigail Adams dried her laundry more than 170 years ago, and where Peter Duchin’s dance band now entertained the Carter party guests. Many people spent the evening waltzing and disco-ing; I spent the evening adjusting and checking! At one point, I told some of the women about my zipper and nylons. One woman topped my problems. She had attended a reception at the Governor’s -Mansion back in her home state. Half­ way through the affair she looked down and discovered, to her horror and eternal embarrassment, that she had on two different kinds of shoes. A waiter circulated near us with a tray holding a single glass of wine. Howard took the glass. The waiter took it away from him. Howard picked it up again. The waiter ■ started to retrieve it, but this time Howard wouldn’t let go. A little tug of war, the waiter apologizing but firm; Howard gently insisting that he wanted it. By then, those of us standing around had become helplessly hysterical, having realized that the waiter had been collecting used wine glasses. We left, as the dancing continued, after midnight. And today, instead of a pressed rose' or a poinsettia leaf, my very special memorabilia go into the pages of our scrapbook.

Children will learn better and much quicker that way she has found, and it also means less time for TV viewing. Students spend more time leafing through library resources and this helps communication skills in all subjects," said Mrs. Jacoby. Each week this group has questions for research on such topics as the Amaryllis Lily, shown in the right foreground, and the avocado held by a student. Shown as they review their research work are Lora Kienutske, Angela Williams, Randy Seans, and Mickey Tilley. Other subjects that have interested the children are Iran, the oil industry, nuclear submarines, and snowflakes. After researching each subject, students write stories or reports on t^e topics.

Phone 945-9554 for ACTION-ADS Fourth graders score higher in state assessment tests this year; seventh grade scores drop slightly by Hildred Peabody The Michigan Education Assessment Program is given to every fourth, seventh and tenth grader in Michigan. This testing has been required under Michigan Law since 1969. The test is designed to be used by teachers to develop programs that will meet the special learning needs of individual students. The Michigan Educational Assessment Program helps to determine whether students have learned specific skills in reading and math. Test questions are taken from a number of questions considered to reflect the basic skills that make up some of the com­ mon goals of Michigan Education. The tests are given to students each fall when they enter fourth, seventh and tenth grades. Consequently, the test measures work done in the grades preceding the current grade. Maple Valley fourth graders scored higher in reading and math tests this year than they did last year. However, 1976 was the fourth grades highest scoring year. The seventh grade scores were slightly below last years scores. Reading this year was 86.6 percent at­ tainment compared with last years 81.3 percent. Math was a little lower with the 1979 attainment at 61.8 percent and 1978 attainment 66.4 percent. Scores for the tenth grade were higher in 1979 than in 1978. However, the at­ tainment levels were lower than either fourth or seventh grade. The percentage of at­ tainment in reading for all grades has been improving for the past several years and indicates that there has been a real effort made by reading teachers, classroom teachers and all concerned to make reading a more meaningful and positive experience for the students. The reading test tested four skill areas: )1. Vocabulary Meaning 4th grade attainment 79.0 percent, 7th grade 83.0 percent and 10th grade 66.3 percent. 2. ) Literal Comprehension - 4th grade attainment 81.3 percent, 7 th grade 87.5 percent and 10th grade 69.0 percent 3. ) Inferential Comprehension 4th grade at­ tainment 68.2 percent, 7th grade 80.4 percent and 10th grade 75.8 percent. 4. ) Study Skills - 4th grade attainment 78.3 percent, 7th grade 84.5 percent and 10th grade 75.0 percent. Administrators and teaching staff have scheduled meetings to discuss each building’s strengths and weaknesses and how to overcome problems revealed by the tests. Parents and students will be given the opportunity to discuss individual test results with the appropriate school personnel located in each building. Detailed test results are on file and if you have any question con­ cerning them, please contact Hildred Peabody, Maplewood School, 726-1141.

Under the direction of Nashville Village President Harold Christiansen, a fireplape was constructed recently by the DPW crew inside the old 1891 water­ works building at Putnam Park. Village employee Arden Schantz is responsible for adapting a plan for the fireplace construction from a design drawn several years ago by the late Chris King, a Vermontville ar­ chitect. King drew the plans when Nashville decided to improve Putnam Park facilities with proceeds of the village’s successful 1969 Centennial celebration.

For many years the dog pound, presided over by waterworks building, or Russell. In more recent years, the pump house, as it was often called, also served as an waterworks building has alarm center for Nashville served as a collection point for paper and glass to be recycled by local Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts - a fund­ raising project that will now need to find new operating quarters. Adding to the history preserved in the waterworks building restoration, is the unusual cone-shaped fireplace hood. It was fashioned from a large feed mixer salvaged when the old 1881 Riverside Feed Mill was razed by the village in 1977. Painted black and suspended from the ceiling by chains, the old funnel now serves a new use in the renovated room and can be enjoyed for generations to come. Community organizations or groups are welcome to use the new meeting facility in the old waterworks building. Those wishing to use the building may contact Harold Christiansen to make arrangements. New sewer rates effective when project is ten percent complete By Susan Hinckley Cub Scouts of Pack No. 3176 were at the old waterworks building Saturday morning to load paper for recycling and a “warming break" was enjoyed around the new circular fireplace. When the restoration of the building, is completed, local scouts will re-locate their collection point for newspaper and glass salvaged as a fund-raising project. , Village President Harold Christiansen admires the new circular brick fireplace in old 1881 waterworks building,in Putnam Park, currently being renovated for use as a community meeting room. Another bit of Nashville history is preserved in the cone-shaped hood fashioned from a feed mixer salvaged from the old Riverside Feed Mill. Seating around the fireplace is furnished with antique church pews which probably originated at the Methodist Church in Nashville. They were acquired several years ago by Wayne Pennock of-Nashville at an auction of surplus goods at the church, and he recently donated them for use in the restored waterworks building. Potential users of Nash­ ville’s proposed new sewer system will begin paying for the service when the project is at a 10 percent completion stage, village officials decided Thursday. By a 4-2 vote, the Nashville Village Council agreed to initiate early, collection of the increased rates in order to diminish capitalized in­ terest on a bond issue to finance the local share of the $4.8 million expansion. ~ “As soon as you take bids and award contracts (on the project), you have a real committment to pay dollars,” Bruce Kuffer, representative of project engineers William & Works, told the council. Kuffer explained that the village would be carrying a bond issue without generating funds to pay it off, if rates were not in­ creased until the project was completed. Nashville expects to receive a loan offer from Farmers Home Ad­ ministration to cover the local share of the project cost. Federal and state grants will pay for 80 percent of the proposed collection system and 90 percent of a proposed new lagoon - and irrigation treatment facility, west of the village. Nashville’s village council could have initiated rate increases before any con­ struction on the sewer ex­ pansion had begun, or at any point during the project. Trustee Lonny Kienutske at Thursday’s meeting pressed for 50 percent completion of the project before monthly user charges were raised. “I think this whole project has been based on peace and harmony,” said Kienutske, who headed a Public In­ formation Committee to explain the proposed project to local voters before the measure passed by a 4-1 margain in a Sept. 1979 referendum. “I don’t think peace and harmony are going to be transmitted by putting those fees in (effect) until you’ve got some holes dug.” Kienutske later cast a “yes” vote for the 10 percent completion status; dissenting votes were cast by Trustees Ted Spoelstra and Ray Hinckley. Nashville’s new monthly sewer rates and initial hook­ up fees are expected to be established concretely, at a special January 31st meeting of the council. At that time, village officials hope to adopt both a User and Rate ' Ordinance to cover the new wastewater system. The special meeting will be at­ tended by representatives of Williams & Works, a bonding attorney, a bonding con­ sultant and, possibly, FmHA officials. The council reviewed Thursday three categories of initial hook-up fees they expect to implement at that time. General consensus was reached on the figure of $600 for an initial direct hook-up to an existing home. Sub­ sequent direct hook-ups at a later date would cost$600 per home, plus a 6 percent in­ crease per year to date. In the case of an indirect hook­ up to the village system, such as a private collection line installed in a new housing development by the builder, a fee of $400 per home would be changed the contractor. Construction of Nashville’s sewer expansion project is not presently expected to get underway before early or mid-summer, and may require a year or more to complete. In other discussion Thursday the council: --Decided to have the DPW crew spread salt or sand at several intersections deemed to be hazardous in winter weather. A crew member will report to work early to handle this task if necessary, the council agreed. -Heard a report from Trustee Helen Curtis that, despite traffic signs prohibiting such trucks, a auto-hauling rig had been parked just off the edge of the village’s business district parking lot for an entire weekend. Curtis said the truck had broken the- paving in the process. "Commercial trucks and rigs were banned from Nashville’s newly paved parking lot last summer to avoid damage to asphalt surface. �The Mople Valley News. Nashville, Wednesday.

A cherry dessert recipe submitted by Mrs. Viola CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT Avery of Nashville, and described as “sinfully rich” If Mr. Ground Hog awaken^ from his long winter nap Saturday, and if he peeks his head out of that earthen hole he calls home, and if perchance the sun is shining and Mr. Ground Hog sees his shadow, we are in for six more weeks of winter weather - according to an old tradition brought to America by German and English immigrants. Unclear, however, is whether the order will be for six more weeks of the incredibly mild winter we have thus far experienced, or if it will be for six more weeks of the brief but bitter taste of winter we sampled last week. Whatever Saturday’s outcome, we are still far ahead of the game this season. To fully appreciate our thus-far tame winter of 1980, one must only cast a back­ ward glance at news from this column of one year ago. From January 24, 1979: “Nashville is still reeling from a wintery blow that inundated our area with 14 inches of new snow and sent temperatures soaring downward to subzero readings”...“The most recent blast followed on the heels of our New Year’s ice storm, and mounds of new snow topped layers of ice below, making travel very hazardous and creating a real hardship for many local residents”...Wildlife, as well as domesticated animals, also continued to suffer as a result of our January storm­ s’’...

Gloria wrote that Mrs. Avery’s dessert would be perfect for Valentine’s Day. It sounds delicious. Mrs. Avery’s confection calls for 35 marshmallows, among other things, and sits in a graham cracker crust Because ,of our mild January weather,.a planned winter sports excursion to Echo Valley, near Kalamazoo, did not materialize for youths of the Nashville Baptist Churcl}. However, a similar outing is now being planned by a newly-formed young married couples group at the church. Saturday, February 2nd, has been set as the day for the event. The couples will depart at noon that day and expect to return home about 6 p.m. Plans may also include dinner out. Mrs. Gloria Johncock of Nashville was admitted to Blodgett Hospital last week Sunday, suffering extreme symptoms of the flu? She was taken ill very suddenly early Sunday morning and rushed to Pennock Hospital by her children. She was later taken to Blodgett in Grand Rapids where, at this writing, she was still con­ fined and additional tests were scheduled. We wish Gloria a speedy recovery. Please take time to remember her with a card. Blodgett Hospital is located at 1840 Wealthy St., S.E., Grand Rapids, Mich. 49056. The “Monday Night Special,” a local bluegrass and gospel group, were guest entertainers at a Christian retreat for teenagers last week Sunday evening. The event was at Anchor Point Camp near Hopkins. Attending the Saturday through Monday retreat were youths primarily from the Gull Lake Bible Church, but others were present from various area churches. The local musicians performed for two hours in a building heated only with a fireplace, but enjoyed participating in the occasion. Youth Pastor Roger Claypool of the Nash­ ville Baptist Church, and a member of the musical group, returned to the retreat Monday to address the teenagers attending the event.

He checked out the first bode ever circulated by Putnam Public Library. “The first patron of our new library was Harold Wright,” announced the Nashville News, in reporting the “grand opening” of the local library that day. Wright was one of twenty persons applying for books on opening day. The patrons had slightly over 300 volumes from which to choose. The occasion culminated seven months of dedicated endeavor by members of the local Woman’s Literary Club, who had sought and received the awesome responsibility of getting the library into operation. The ladies had bargained for the task in a special Jan. 29, 1928, meeting with the Nash­ ville Village Council. Mrs. Floyd (Belle) Everts, president of the WLC, and Mrs. Colin T. (Marcia) Munro, chairman of the board of directors, had signed a petition from the club to the council, asking that the village fathers “give the Woman’s Literary Club the management of the Putnam Library... and appoint a committee to act jointly with a library board appointed by the president of the club, in expenditure of the fund created for that purpose by the terms of the will of the late Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Putnam.” The Putnams had willed their home to the village for the purpose of establishing a library, and had set up a $10,000 trust fund for that purpose plus designating an additional amount for remodeling, in the sum of $1,000. Some furnishings were also included in the Putnam bequest - built-in antique bookcases, a large French clock, a set of canebottomed walnut dining chairs - plus portraits of the donors and 300 books from their private collection. The village accepted the offer from the WLC ladies, who sought in return only the right to hold their club meetings in the Putnam building. A library board was appointed in a February 22nd meeting at the home of Mrs. R. C. Townsend. Named as chairman ,was Mrs. C. L. Glasgow; secretary, Mrs. Frank C. Lentz; and treasurer, Mrs. Colin T. Munro. Bylaws governing the board were adopted at a subsequent meeting, held March 1, 1923, at the proposed new library building. The ladies viewed pragmatically the arduous task they were facing. The $1,000 remodeling bequest would pay for removal of two interior partitions to expand the Putnam home for library use, but that was only one segment of the work in­ volved. “It is a real problem and will require several weeks of real labor upon the part of the board, before the library can be opened to the public,” announced the ladies 'after that March 1st meeting. “The demand that every woman, and man as well, shall render some service to his or her community is indeed persistent in these REGISTRATION NOTICE FOR VILLAGE ELECTION Monday, March 10,1980 To the Qualified Electors of the Village of Vermontville (Precinct No. ) COUNTY OF EATON, STATE OF MICHIGAN Notice is hereby given that in conformity with the "Michigan Election Law", I, the undersigned Clerk, will upon any day, except Sunday and a legal holiday, the day of any regular or special elec­ tion or primary election, receive for registration the name of any legal voter in said Township, City or Village not already registered who may APPLY TO ME PERSONALLY for such registration.

WLC-sponsored social events continued to promote the new facility. “At the newly-opened Putnam library Tuesday evening, the Woman’s Literary Club tendered a community reception for teachers of Nashville School,” noted the News in early October 1923. “More than 200 attended the func­ tion.” Weekly news releases from the library were published in the local paper, to encourage use and thank donors. “More and more people are patronizing the free library, but there are many more who should be making use of thisXsplendid in­ stitution,” observed one such report in November, 1923. “One can find almost anything in the reading line they care for, and the library board'welcomes one and all to the free use of the library. rary., ”, Contributions of books, magazine subscriptions and cash continued to pour into the fledgling facility. By November 1923, the initial 300 books from the Putnam had quadrupled to 1200.

Shilling presented the library with a much-needed oil stove that spring. On Decoration Day, 1924, a gift of an American flag from George 0. Dean, one of Nashville’s few remaining Civil War veterans at that time, was cause for a special presentation ceremony on the library lawn. When January 1925 rolled around, the public received an updated report on the library. “Sixteen months have passed since the opening of Putnam Library, and it is most gratifying to know that is has been of much educational interest to the people of Nashville and vicinity, inasmuch as there are now more than 600 readers availing themselves of the privilege extended by the library,” reported the News. “Itjs a real pleasure to visit the library and to be greeted by the congenial smile of Mrs. Dean, librarian, who takes great interest in helping select the books of your 'choice. It is largely through her splendid management that the in­ terest among the boys and girls for better books is rapidly growing.” In November 1923, only two months after the library had opened, a children’s Saturday afternoon “story hour” was started at Put­ nam a forerunner of a tradition that continues today’ in the form of- a summertime reading program for local children, staged annually at Putnam Public Library. Wisconsin we find that our dairy farmers pay $857 per employee more in workers’ compensation compensa on insurance nsurance premiums, yet an injured Michigan dairy farm worker receives about $2,200 less per year in benefits than the average in the surrounding states. We think most wage earners' would agree with businessmen in at least two areas of cost containment that have been before the Legislature for years. Voluntary quitters should not draw unemployment compensation and there should be a reasonable statute ■ of ’ limitation" on reporting an on-the-job in­ jury. (Many now wait until a year or two’ after retirement before filing ari injury claim.) Ballot issues must be kept simple so they are easily understood. I believe these two issues put on the ballot and properly publicized would win overwhelming support of the voters. But the first requirement ill a ballot issue iss an organized group with the determination to work for their cause. Petition drives are not easy! In this case, the burden should not fall on one group. I would think all groups of businessmen, farmers and professionals could agree and go to work circulating petitions and promoting the issue.

County youths eligible to win quarter horse foals Eaton County 4-H horse club members are eligible to win registered quarter horse foals through the 1980 Bob Evans Farms 4-H Weanling Quarter Horse Award program. . According to Nancy Diuble, Eaton County 4-H Youth Agent, one boy and-or girl will be nominated from Eaton County to compete in the statewide, program. From county nominees across the state, one boy and one girl will be selected to receive the young horses. The foals are provided by Bbb Evans Farms, Inc., and are products of the purebred quarter horse^ breeding program conducted at the firm’s farm in Rio Grande, Ohio. Evans, a former1 farmer and long-tim^ supporter of the 4-H program, says that the foals are donated to show his company’s ^admiration for youngsters involved in the youth program. “Providing good quality weanlings for 4-H members who have shown outstanding leadership qualities is our way of expressing ap- preciation for the fine work done by 4-H youth,” Evans says. This is the third year the program has been made available to Michigan 4H’ers. To qualify for the unique horse award program, ap­ plicants must be current 4-H horse project members, at least 13 years of age, but not more than 16 years old during the 1980 calendar year. Thy must complete a special ^nomination application and return it to their County Extension Office before, February 25. A panel of judges will select 10 finalists from across the state. The finalists will participate in interviews during 4-H Ex­ ploration Days in June at Michigan State University and two winners and alternates will be selected. The foals will be presented to their new owners during the State 4-H Horse Show, August 19, at MSU.

Wednesday, January 30. 1980 — Page 6 Auctioneering is Vermontville man’s hobby Everyone has had oc­ casion to talk to himself at one time or another. But, Elmer Adams of Ver­ montville has a special reason for appearing to be talking to himself as he’s driving down the road. If you see his lips moving, and there’s no one else in his vehicle, you’ll know. that Adams is concentrating on perfecting his auctioneering chant—‘One, now, two, now, three, now, four, who’ll make it five...' It’s easier said then done, says Adams as he talks about the skills necessary in perfecting a smooth and even autioneering chant. Even though a person has been counting most of his life, it’s not all that simple to start counting and using “filler words” between the dtfllar figures, he comments. Polishing an auctioneering chant “is strictly.a matter of concentration,” he said. Since Adams spends a lot of time driving, he finds that it’s a perfect time for him to practice his chant. He records his words on a tape recorder as he drives so that he can play it back and hear his progress. The recording technique also is a good way to avoid stage fright whet) you have to put your skill to the test in front of a crowd of potential buyers, he says. Why is Adams practicing an auctioneer’s chant anyway? He’s already a busy man. He’s been driving for the Battle Creek Tobacco and Candy Co. for 13 years; farms over 200 acres; operates “Adams Chuck Wagon” (a food concession business at area auctions and horse shows); sells top soil, peat, fire wood and wood burning stoves; and does excavation work. The answer to that question is that Adams is a man who never passes up an oportunity. He likes people and likes to be around them, so it was quite natural for him to enroll in an auc­ tioneering course when opportunity knocked. Adams was one of five to Gabby’s INCOME TAX SERVICE FEDERAL/STATE 8524512 EXPERIENCED & DEPENDABLE Adams (on right) is shown with his fellow graduates and instructor, "Friendly Fred" Hinkley (Center), on graduation night. Also receiving diplomas were Marge Hakes of Marshall, Paul Rombaugh, Arnold De Young, and Gary Rombaugh, all of Battle Creek. (Photo by Battle Creek Shopper News, affiliated publication of the Maple Valley News) graduate from a recent auctioneer training program in Battle Creek, conducted by “Friendly Fred” Hinkley who is well known in the area auction arena. The new qualified auc­ tioneers received their diplomas at a recent dinner ceremony and surprise birthday celebration for their instructor in Battle Creek. For Aams, Adams, jonng joining te the ranks of an auctioneer, even though it’s just a hobby, is like renewing a family tradition because his 80year-old grandfather, George Baughman of Battle Creek, was an auctioneer for many years. Auctioneering also runs in Adams' wife’s family. Marilyn Adams’ uncle is Harold Dingman and hercousin is Bill Stanton. Adams’ new auctioneering skills are like having a new found hobby and something that might come in handy as a sideline sometime. “It never hurts to have something extra to be able to do,”he comments. “It was interesting and a lot of fun,” he says of the class. Sessions were held three nights a week for nearly a dozen weeks. The “students” learned how to chant, how to value and appraise, and how to buy and sell. They learned about the psychology of crowd control, the legal aspects of con­ tracts, writing sales agreements, merchandising, publicizing and advertising sales. The popularity of garage sales hasn’t really affected the auctioneering business, Adams says.

This places Maple Valley above the state average for daily attendance whicp is estimated to be 92 percent. Percentages for each of the individual classes at Maple Valley shows the following: Seventh grade, 95.2 percent; eighth grade, 94.4 percent; ninth grade, 94.5 percent; tenth grade, 93.7 percent; eleventh grade, 93.4 percent; twelveth grade, 93.2 percent. School officials are hoping that this level of attendance can continue and perhaps even improve. Parents are reminded to contact the school by phone or note anytime their son or daughter is absent. This cooperation is vital to the students attendance record and is greatly appreciated. Why freeze? Buy a Reddy Heater instead. Had enough of below freezing weather? Cheer up.

January 30. 1980_Page 9 Weather can worsen weed problems EAST LANSING Weather had a significant affect on the way certain weed control programs worked, or didn’t worje, for Michigan growers last season, according to Dr. Bill Meggitt, weed control specialist and professor of crop and soil sciences at Michigan State University. “It’s important to know how and why weather affects performance of certain herbicides and not others not only to better judge herbicide effectiveness, but toward more judicious herbicide selection for the upcoming season,” Dr. Meggitt adds. According to his 1979 herbicide study, two major weather factors had an important impact on weed control effectiveness. “In those areas of the state where we had 'limited rainfall, especially during the planting season in May and early June, we observed a number of herbicide ap­ plications that gave less than effective weed control,” he points out. “This was especially evident with preemergence herbicides those materials that are applied to the soil surface and depend on rainfall to move into the soil.” Preemergence treatments did not perform as well as those applied preplant and incorporated mechanically into the soil, according to Dr. Meggitt. “The incorporated materials were positioned in the soil where they coulcf work on the weed seeds as they germinated. The preemergence materials didn’t get adequate rainfall and allowed weed problems to develop.” The other weather-caused problem was the result of A weekly report from — Ernest Nash State Representative' 1 15 Willl ***! hfeittt ’ *titaihtt ’ ®M ** •«- Jffll!® ' ' 1VS ’’SHtSSi ivi msikki ka isclMii tan IBM PRIMARY PROBLEMS? - Although both parties are proceeding with separate plans for National Delegate selection.

HELP - Several state and federal grant programs are available to help pay heating bills and win­ terize homes, depending on qualifications. Details are available from many local agencies or from the Energy Hot Line, 800-292-4704. NEW BUSINESS - During 1979, the number of new cor­ porations registering to do business in Michigan rose by 28 percent over 1978. This is another record, and indicates a healthy state of business and job trend despite adversity in the auto industry. CENSUS JOBS - Now is the time to apply for 1980 Census jobs. Applicants must pass a basic test and have access to a car; jobs pay $4-$4.50 an hour for a 40-hour week but with flexible houfs. Contact your U.S. Census district office or your local MESC office for details. BITTER BUDGET - Governor Milliken has now submitted his proposed budget for the 1980-81 fiscal year and it is an extremely lean one. The proposed increase in general - fund spending is only about 5 percent, which amounts to a decrease over this year when inflation is considered. Include with the budget, in line with the overall tone of austerity, is the proposed elimination of 1,651 state jobs and dropping or reducing 87 programs. Cuts are being proposed in almost every area of state spending, although Mental Health and Corrections would suffer the least. About $182 million would be drawn out of the “Rainy Day” Budget FundThe Governor agrees with legislative leaders that the possible option of raising taxes to maintain the current level ofs ervices is not a desirable or realistic one. I believe that to attempt to raise taxes this year would be ill-advised. heavy rains that occurred last June and early July, Dr. Meggittsays. “This situation moved much of the applied herbicides below the surface layer of the soil, too low to work on weed seeds as they germinated later in the season. This presented us witha lot of late season weed problems that were especially apparent at harvest time.” As far as chemical per­ formance in the field was concerned, Dr. Meggitt observed consistent control with some of the three-way tank mixes such as Sutantatrazine-Bladex. These newer tank mixes give control across a broader range of environmental conditions and removes some of the inconsistency environmental conditions produce in other materials. “Better crop tolerance is another good reason to use a three-way oi* two-way tank mix,” he points out. “You can put each herbicide on at a lower rate which reduces the danger of crop injury as well as herbicide carryover. Since we are faced with a situation where we have fewer new herbicides, we are going to have to make better use of those we currently have.” In addition to tank mixes, Mr. Meggitt also suggests the possibility of going to multiple or sequential herbicide applications to handle more difficult weed problems. “This could in­ volve making a preplant incorporated treatment first, followed by a preemergence treatment, with a follow-up 852-1859 - or - 726-0264 We wish to state that we are a racially nandiscriminatory nursery school.

No. 37 — Wednesday. February 6. 1980 Oil furnace believed cause of rural house fire A faulty oil furnace ap­ parently caused the fire, Thursday, which destroyed the home of the Larry Harshman family at 9354 Coats Grove Rd. Firemen from Nashville and Woodland were at the scene for four hours but never had a chance to save the two story structure. Mrs. Fay Harshman said they had been having trouble with their furnace and planned to make further repairs this weekend. She told firemen she had smelled oil earlier in the afternoon and had called a neighbor who had been working on the furnace. Mrs. Harshman left the home about 1:30 p.m. to go shopping. Neighbor Sondra Franco of 2710 Clark Rd. reported the fire to the Woodland Fire Dept, at about 2:45 p.m. The five Harshman children were at school and Larry was at his job as a driver for Blue Arrow Douglas Truck Lines in Lansing. Woodland fireman James Wickham said he had delivered mail at the house about 2 p.m. arid did not notice anything unusual. He added, however, that by the time he was heading to his home at 4811 Barnum Rd. 45 minutes later, he could see the smoke in the sky. Nashville* fireman John Mason Said the chamber of the furnace was expanded as if there had been some type of .explosion inside. “We never had a chance,” Mason said. “There was no hope before the fire department was even called. Because of the fuel oil build up, it went quickly.” Mason added that 20 ft. basement to attic studding in the house and an asphalt-vinyl siding probably contributed to the quick spread of the fire Two trucks and nine men from each department were at the scene. Though the call went to Woodland first, the fire'was really in Nashville territory because the home was located on the south side of Coats Grove Rd., the dividing line between the two departments. A faulty oil furnace was believed to be the cause of the blaze that spread quickly up 20 ft: studding and asphalt-vinyl siding. (Reminder photo) ..on the mend in Nashville Melissa Showater (standing), retired Putnam Public Library employee, demonstrates book mending techniques to a group of Friends of the Library members. Damaged volumes were on the mend at Putnam Public Library last Tuesday morning when members of Nashville’s Friends of the Library met for a lesson in book repair. The proper technique for restoring deteriorated books was demonstrated by Melissa Showater, a former staff member -at Putnam Library who is now retired, and Ruth Brown, an assistant librarian at the library. The method demonstrated by the two instructors in­ volves removing the cover completely from a damaged book, and creating a com­ pletely new spine and hinge. This is accomplished through the use of a special double stitched cloth binder. Generally, the steps in­ volved in the repair of books include: —Cutting off the old cover, using scissors. —Measuring the back of the book. —Cutting a strip of double stitched cloth binder to the appropriate size. —Cutting string to install under the binder to prevent breaking. Pasting stiffing material on the spine, using library paste (with water added). —Attaching the binder to the spine with paste and fastening the hinge to the book body. Library paste, with water added, is brushed on the spine of the book. This one step in repairing damaged books which was demonstrated last week. Damaged volumes were on the mend at Putnam Public Library in Nashville last Tuesday morning when members of Nashville's Friends of the Library met for a lesson in book repair. Present were (from right) Melissa Showater, who demonstrated proper restoration techniques: Joy Peake, president of the group; Darlene Scramlin, Ruth Brown, who also helped at the session: Beth Phillips, and Pat Cummings. __ —Finally, the book is pressed in a clamp until it is dry. An adhesive cloth backing is added for the book title and number to be let­ tered, in ink, on the volume. About once a month the library staff devotes three to four hours mending books, but even that effort cannot keep pace with the needed repair of books that are damaged through normal usage. It is hoped that the Friends of the Library group who learned the technique last Tuesday will now be able to assist the library personnel in this important task of salvaging usable bodes. Ruth Brown, assistant librarian, helps Darlene Scramlin learn how to build a new^spine and hinge for damaged library books. (Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, February 6, 1980 — Page 2 Nashville News Sometime between 1918 and 1929, the late Harry Boise snapped a photo of students at the Barryville School, a frame structure which is now a private residence located about half a mile east of the Peace United Methodist Church of Barryville. The photo was a bit different than the usual country school photo, as the children were grouped around a large rock in an adjoining farm field, next to the school property. Mrs. Earl Pennock of Nashville (she’a the former Clara Gillett) recalled the picture recently and wondered) if anyone in our reading audience might have a copy. She and Roy Boise of Nash­ ville (he is Harry’s son) thought the photo might make an interesting print for the paper and could, perhaps, be developed into a “Memories” story on the old Barryville School. The picture was taken on the former George Hayman farm where the Gilletts lived. (That place is the present-day home of Dennis Mapes.) The rock around which the children clustered was located in the second field north of the red brick Hayman house, Clara recalls.

Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville entertained her son and his family, Glen and Marilyn Ramsey and son, Mark, of Dowling, for a dinner at her home last Wednesday evening. The occasion was the celebration of Glen’s birthday. Dinner out at the Tick Tock Restaurant near Hastings was enjoyed last Monday evening by Mrs. Arlie Stambaugh, Mrs. Elizabeth Askins and 'Mrs. Elsie Ramsey, all of Nashville. A recent letter from Wayne Fuller, a Nashville native now of Toledo, Ohio, brought out a thought provoking question on the old Wolcott House, subject of a recent “Memories” story. “I wonder what the carpenters made per day when it was built,” wrote Fuller. “Probably they make more now in a couple of hours than they made in a week at that time.” We found no reference in the old Nash­ ville News items which would indicate the hourly wage in constructing the 1878 hostelry on South Main Street. We did, however,, run across a note of wages of­ fered for kitchen help at the hotel’s dinning room in 1905. “Wanted at the Wolcott House: girl for dishwashing and kitchen work; wages, one dollar per day.” That was in June 1905. Four months later another ad read: “Wanted: kitchen girl at the Wolcott House, $4 a week and board to the right girl.” As far as carpenter wages in those days, perhaps a note from June 1902 on reconstructing the old school house, after its total destruction by a February fire, gives some clue: “W. J. Leibhauser has been named superintendant of con­ struction at a salary of $3.50 per day.” The work was done by day laborers hired by Leibhauser, a well-known local builder and lumberyard owner. Wages of the day laborers were not noted in that particular news item, but it was decided to hire them because “all bids for the new school building have been adjudged by the Board as too high.” Thursday and Friday visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leb (Grace) Marisch of rural Nashville were Mr. and Mrs. Rick Seymour and daughters of Pollock, South Dakota. Rick is a newphew to Mrs. Marisch. Recent callers at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Shull of Nashville were Mr. and Mrs.Thomas Wensko of Algonquin Lake and, also, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Tarbet of Hastings.

Also arriving Saturday morning were son Jerry and his wife, Kay, of Kalkaska. They were accompanied by Kay’s sister, D’Ann Pant They returned north late Saturday night Other Saturday callers at the home of Clarence and Margaret Reid were their son Darrel and his wife, Karen, and family of near Kalamo; their daughter and family, Annetta and Dave Tredinnick and children of Hastings; their son Arden and his wife, Sue, and family of Nashville; and Mrs. Jean Reid, and Sandy and Harry Rollins, all of Nashville.

Barnes. “Quite a large number of young people were gathered on the {mill) pond after school in the afternoon, enjoying skating, which was particularly fine. The ice was fairly safe on the north side of the pond, where the water was dead, but over the channel the ice was very thin, and very few had ventured to cross it.

It marks the grave of Irving Boston, drowned December 4, 1894, at age 21 years, and tells the tale of an almost-legendary sacrifice. Irving died a hero’s death, perishing in the icy waters of the Thornapple River along with a young skater whom he was endeavoring to save. The futile rescue mission turned into a tragedy that was attended by widespread community sorrow and brought much acclaim to Nashville. Irving’s heroic death was memorialised in poetry and other tributes that soon poured into the village from throughout the country. Irving was the son of Adaline and William Boston, proprietors of the brick yard on Nashville’s south side where much of the material used in early local construction’Was manufactured in huge kilns. (The Boston enterprises was located just south of the present-day intersection of M-66 South and Casgrove St.) Chronicling the hero’s death was the Nashville News, where young Irving had been employed as a printer.

Irving was the son of William Boston, local brick manufacturer and prominent businessman. Irving, 21 at his death, was a volunvolun­ teer Nashville fireman and had worked as a printer at the Nashville News office. Shown in this about-1892 photo are, in background, Len W. Feighner, editorpublisher of the News from 1888 until 1928, and his printers and printer's devils, left to right: Arthur Smith, Claude Hough, Albert Weber, Irving Boston and Frank Weber.

His whereabouts in later years is unknown. find them; and Vic was finally pulled out, well-nigh exhausted.” The News account then details how boats were procurred and a search for the bodies begun: “The News had spread rapidly and a large concourse of people had gathered on the bank to watch the search, among the crowd being many weeping women and children, while by no means all of the men had dry eyes.” Barnes was brought up in half an hour; Boston, ten minutes later. The body of Barnes was taken to his parents home nearby. The body of Boston was taken first to the residence of Dr. L. F. Weaver before being taken to his home in the southern part of town. Accounts still linger today of the torch-lit entourage that bore Irving’s body home. Many conveyances came streaming toward the Boston home, following the wagon on which the young hero’s body lay. “Nothing in the history of the-village ever created such a profound sorrow,” con­ tinued the News report. “The terrible affair has been almost the sole topic of conversation since it oc­ curred, and the entire population of the town and many people from the country around were present at the funeral ceremonies. “The funeral of Clayton Barnes was held at the Congregational Church yesterday morning at ten o’clock, Rev. N. F. Sheldon conducting the services,” related the News. “School was dismissed and his schoolmates assembled with the others to pay their last tribute to the memory of their playmate.” Young Barnes was in­ terred in Hosmer Cemetery, north of the village. The funeral of Irving Boston was conducted at the Methodist Church at two o’clock in the afternoon of the same day as the Barnes service, and was “undoubtedly the most largely attended of any funeral ever held in the village,” ac­ cording to the News. The sermon was delivered by Rev. J. S. Steininger of the Evangelical Church, who was summoned home from revival work at Eckford to officiate. “The sermon was a touching one, and full of comfort to the dear ones who will so sadly miss their loved one,” noted the News. “The fire department of which Irving was a loved and valued member, ’acted as a guard of honor, and a quartette of their number furnished music for the funeral.” Irving, born at Dexter, Michigan, was 21 years, 4 months and 7 days old at the time of his death, added the News account. “He leaves father, mother, brother, three sisters and a large circle of friends to jnourn their loss.” The News extended the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community to the parents and relatives of the two boys. All of the business places in town were closed during the Friday funeral of Irving Boston. The Lentz Table Company factory was also closed. News of the tragedy spread rapidly and accounts of it were carried by papers throughout the state. Soon letters and poetry in eulogy of Boston arrived from various points, the offerings frequently written by strangers. The Charlotte Tribune added this excellent tribute in reporting the tragedy: “We little know who are the heroes, but every demand is met by some one who, called by a sudden impulse, im­ perils his own life to save that of another. What a grand attribute of humanity is this! Such leaven as this will save the race. Greater love hath no man that that he gave his life for his friend.” �The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Wednesday.

It is anticipated that ad­ vertising for contractor bids on the project will begin March 15, to meet a proposed April 15 bidding deadline. Completion of the new system is expected about June 1981, Nashville officials were told Thursday by Bill Latsch, representing Williams & Works, sewer project engineers. Latsch is project manager for the Nashville expansion program. “If construction is started by July 1st, the system should be operational by June 1st of 1981,” Latsch told the village council Thursday. Also present at the special project scheduling meeting were Bruce Kuffer, professional engineer with Williams & Works; Robert Benzenski, bond consultant with Benzenski & Co. of Detroit; Robert Hammel, ''bond attorney with Miller, Canfield, Paddock & Stone, a Detroit law firm; and David Dimmers of Hastings, village attorney for Nash­ ville. Nashville residents currently served by the present sewer system will begin paying increased rates on Sept. 1, 1980, at which time it is anticipated the expansion projectwill be at a 10 percent completion stage. The increase at that time, will be called the “readiness to serve” charge. On June 1, 1980, an increased “com­ modity charge” will be added to the User’s monthly bill. This will reflect the new usage rates based on gallonage of water con­ sumption at each meter. The amounts of these two rates has not been established yet, but it is expected that a new rate schedule will be adopted at the council’s February 14th meeting. The early rate increase is being enacted to reduce interest the village must pay on a bond issue to finance the local share of the WATER HEATERS GAS OR ELECTRIC 30 GAL. & UP NASHVILLLE HARDWARE 105 NORTH MAIN ST. 852-0713 — SHE’LL LOVE ‘EM — Accessing the Nashville Village Council is Robert Benzenski (right), bond concon­ sultant with Bensenski and Co. of Detroit.

Nashville expects to receive a loan from Farmers Home Administration to cover the local share. Federal and state grants will pay 80 percent of the new collection system costs and 90 percent of the expense of building a new lagoon and irrigation treatment facility west of the village. Homes to be added to the new system, which are now currently served by private septic systems, will have until six months after the new system is operational before they must hook up. These new potential users will not be charged a “readiness to serve” charge until the collection line is run past their residence and the new system is operational. In other business related to the sewer project, the council was urged by a village resident to encourage the project contractor to hire persons from the local community to fill the “un­ skilled labor” jobs connected with building the new system. The council agreed, and Latsch said he would check into the situation.

BUSINESS HELP - Now in the Senate is HB 5058, which would set up a Small Business Development Program: a network of small business centers throughout the state to provide managerial, informational and technical services; and advocacy efforts. POINT COUNTERPOINT - Both houses have approved SB 471, which would for the first time assess driver-record points for going over 55 mph but less than 70 mph. However, the bill is to be voted on again in the House; and if it passes, the House version which starts points at 60 must be recon­ ciled with the Senate version which starts them at the “energy speed” of 55 mph.

Differences must also be resolved with the Governor, who vetoed a previous version and has urged greater price competition. I did not support SB 242.

The testing and screening diagnostic ser­ vices to determine proper placement in programs at local and intermediate levels are generally supplied by ISDs. In some areas ISDs are ruining vocational education programs that because of limited local demand or expense of equipment could not be done by local districts. There are other programs and services supplied by ISD,s but these are among the most important and give you an idea of the nature of such services.

But they do not pla/ the crucial role in our educational system that local districts do., To equate them with our local school districts and suggest, as some ISD supporters do, that to tamper with them, change their size or nature is to strike a blow at basic American educational philosophy is absolutely crazy. Many states have no comparable structure. I think they are poorer for their lack but essentially they still run educational systems with local schools and local control with little different .philosophy from the rest of Michigan. Intermediate school districts, like community colleges, have evolved in Michigan but not in all states. They fill an im­ portant purpose in my opinion but that opinion is not as widely shared as the belief in local school districts and local control. ISDs generally receive a much higher proportion of their total budget from state and federal sources rather than local districts. Their organization on county lines is more historical than functional and not at all uniform in the state. Is there a more efficient, educationally-sound way we could organize intermediate school districts? I don’t know. Community Events . . Please...

The Hughes have two daughters: Samantha, 4, and Sarah, 1. They attend St. Cyril Catholic ‘Church in Nash­ ville. John is active in the Maple Valley Education Association, serving currently as a member of the bargaining team. He is also a past president and a past chief negotiator for the organization. If elected, Hughes has several goals for the village. He said that he would like to investigate the possiblity of the Village of Nashville becoming the City of Nash­ ville, but he stressed the meaning of the word “in­ vestigate.” “This does not mean I desire the village to make this step without giving it serious thought,” explained Hughes, “but if there are advantages to such a move, it should be given con­ sideration.” Hughes would also like to see the new sewer collection and treatment system ad­ ministered in the best in­ terests of the village. And he would work to promote better communications between the citizens, community organizations and the village council, he said. “My goal is to serve the 'citizens of Nashville to the best of my ability,” Hughes concluded. LONNY KIENUTSKE, of 209 Washington St., is the only < incumbent among the four trustee candidates in the February 18 primary. He is seeking re-election to a council seat to which he was appointed in May 1979.

Bom in Owosso, Kienutske moved21 times in the first 14 years of his life. He came to Nashville in 1962, and graduated from NHS in 1964. He is self-employed as a dealer in used appliances and also is in property management. Before going into business for himself, Kienutske was Used Car Sales Manager for Larke Buick in Hastings for eight years. Prior to that, he was employed at Oldsmobile in Lansing for three years. Kienutske is married to the former Suzanne Smith of Nashville. The couple has two children: Lee, 12, and' Lona, 9. The Kienutskes are members of the People’s Bible Church, and Lonny is a past board member of the church. He is also a past board member of the Michigan License Plate Collectors Association, an organization to which he has belonged for several years. Kienutske is also a member of the Nashville Business Owners Association. Because of Kienutske’s early and continuing in­ volvement with the village sewer project (he Jias been regularly attending council meetings since 1977), he feels that he is probably the single most informed person in Nashville now associated with the expansion program. “The sewer project is the single largest expense Nash­ ville has ever faced,” Kienutske said. “I feel personally committed to the project, and really feel I should continue to save on the village council to give the benefit of the knowledge I’ve gained since 1977.” kienutske sees no major problems for Nashville. “The next two years, our major focus will be on the sewer,” he commented, as he stressed the importance of keeping the public in­ formed. “We must bring in­ formation out in the open, and keep it out in the open,” explained Kienutske. He said he has based his Public Information program on “trying to get every drop of information out as straight as possible to the people.” Kienutske' encouraged public attendance and input at village meetings. He added that there had been very good continuity within the village council during the past year. “There is a greater demand for more knowledgeable people (on the council) and increased demand on trustees for more time to handle village duties,” Kienutske noted. He said times have changed in the past few years; more is required than just attending bi-monthly council meetings. Citing the amount of homework now required of village trustees, Kienutske concluded, “More in­ volvement is required than what many are willing to give.” Regardless of whom they support, Kienutske added that he hoped Nashville citizens would get out and vote in the February 18 primary.

The 26 customers along his milk route were quite taken by surprise when Hampton pulled up in his artfully decorated vehicle. "Most farmers seemed pretty pleased about it,-'laughs Hampton. A Vermontville native, who now resides in the Nashville area, Hampton says it was just "a brainstorm" that he had wljen he decided to commission an artist to paint two large murals on each side of his truck. The two paintings depict colorful farm (dairy, of course) scenes and are the work of Hastings-area artist, Jane Randall Koning. Hampton's unique truck captured attention from a magazine called "Michigan Milk Messenger" which featured a picture of the "Rolling Gallery" on the cover of its publication. The magazine is published monthly by the Michigan Milk Producers Association. Hampton is a contract hauler for MMPA and makes twice-daily deliveries to Pet, Inc. in Charlotte.

Nashville, Wednesday. February 13. 1980 Page 2 Nashville News Tragic house fires con­ tinue to plague the Maple Valley area this winter. In a rash of recent residential blazes, considerable property - and in some cases, lives - have been lost. The latest destruction by fire was the home of the John Lee family on Carlisle Highway last Tuesday afternoon. Located half a mile east of Mason Road, southeast of Nashville, the Lee residence was in the Vermontville fire district. Nasffville firefighters were summoned to assist that department with meh and equipment. The call for help came shortly after 12 noon. No one was home at the Lee residence at the time of the blaze. The fire was sighted and reported by a neighbor across the road. When the firemen arrived, the house was pretty well involved. In order to get at the base of the conflagration, the men repeatedly entered the house wearing Scott Air Packs. The tanks were later taken to Hastings to be refilled with oxygen. Firemen remained on the scene river four hours. At this writing, cause of the blaze had not been deter­ mined. It was also presumed at this time that house and contents were a total loss. In celebration of her recent birthday, Mrs. Eliza Emery was a guest Sunday of Mrs. Flora Satterlee and Mrs. Mae Rose, both of Charlotte, at the Eastern Star dinner at Bellevue. Later, the ladies enjoyed an afternoon drive to the Eaton Rapids area. Mrs. Avis Elliston of Nash­ ville was a Sunday dinner guest of Mrs. Bertha Becker of Nashville. Afternoon callers on Mrs. Becker were Mr. and Mrs. Don Elliston of Ionia. Sunday evening visitors and supper guests were Mr. and Mrs. Roger Hardenbug and children of Eagle.

Returning from Hawaii with a gorgeous tan last week was Steakhouse owner Agnes Hughes and her husband, Don. The Hughes 2­ week trip to the 50th state took them to several of the islands that comprise the place. Hawaii consists of a chain of 122 islands, but all t he people of the state live on seven of the eight main islands that are at the southeastern end of the chain. Agnes says that many folks who visit Hawaii never get beyond that first major island. The Hughes landed at Hilo Airport, after a 2-hour layover in San Francisco so Don could watch the Super Bowl game on T.V. They had departed from Grand Rapids. After arriving in Hawaii, the Hughes hop­ skipped across the islands by bus and plane. They spent 2 days at most stops, but four days on Oahu. Especially exciting in their travels was a helicopter ride through volcanic canyons. Among other highlights of the vacation was seeing the waterfall that is the back­ drop for filming the TV show. Fantasy Island. At Honolulu, the Hughes en­ joyed a performance by Jim Nabors, who made his en­ trance disguised as a tourist with camera in hand, taking pictures of the crowd at the dinner club. They also saw Al Harrington, a former actor on the Hawaii Five-0 show. Temperatures ranged from 75 to 85 degrees during their stay, Agnes reports, and they had rain only once. Flowers were profuse, including giant orchids and poinsettias that grew in magnificent bush­ like trees.

Seems that many happy memories were evoked by our recent story on Nash­ ville’s early ice harvests. The most recent com­ mentary arrived last week in a letter from Wayne Fuller, a Nashville native now of Toledo, Ohio. Fuller’s family lived in the Quailtrap School district, southeast of Nash­ ville. He wrote: “When I was a kid we always put up ice in the wintertime. We had an ice house on the farm. -The walls were insulated with sawdust and there was a lot of the same to cover the ice, as it was put up in layers and each layer covered.” Fuller said his father cut ice on a pond, a little less than an acre in size, near their farm. “In the wintertime, many skating parties were held there,” reminisced Fuller. “We would build a bonfire on the ice to keep warm by.” Like Kenneth A. Meade, who recently.. wrote on the same topic, Wayne Fuller recalled the joy of ice cream made at home with winterharvested ice. “The delicious vanilla ice cream that my mother used to make sure beats what you get now,” he noted. Manufacturing the treat was a family affair. “We would put chunks of ice in a burlap bag and break it up with the flat side of an axe,” wrote Fuller. “Along with some rock salt and a hand freezer, we were in business.

Meeting last Thursday night, RRDC members decided that a group’s newly cleared recreational park area would be a good place for the “lift-off”. Work is continuing at a steady clip on the site, and it appears that the community park will be pretty well on it’s way by Harvest Festival time. Development of recreational facilities in the park, located along the Thornapple River west of the Main Street stores, is being done through federal and state grants plus funds raised by various RRDC-sponsored events, including the annual Nash­ ville Harvest Festival.

Wednesday, February 13. 1980 — Page 4 On February 5,1902, Nash­ ville suffered one of the worst fire losses in the history of the village. At 3:45 a.m. that Wednesday morning, Jonah Rasey had sounded the alarm. The Union School was ablaze! Volunteer firemen raced to the scene. “But the fire was too well advanced to be even slowed,” reported the Nash­ ville News. “The fire was pretty well burned out by 7 a.m., although the firemen remained and played water on the smouldering ruins throughout most of the day.” Mrs. Leah Walrath Par­ tridge, a Nashville native now of Flint, recalls that fateful night. As a young child, she witnessed the roaring fire that destroyed Stars and Stripes fly over Nashville's Union School. When flames devou red the 18-year-old facility in February 1902, the community faced its greatest financial hardship. The $15,000 loss of building and contents was only partially covered by insurance. Cause of the fire remained a mystery, though it was believed to have started in the basement. But a boiler there survived, was later used in new structure. For The Very Finest, Come In and See STOVES All models available with either top or back flue outlet.

Nashville Hardware '■ 105 N. Main, Nashville Phone 852-0713 Built on the ruins of the old facility, the new Nashville High School also faced south on Washington Street, between Queen and Middle. It had well lighted —rooms, an observation level office for superintendent, a nicely equipped science lab, and modern plumbing. Building was constructed by local talent after outside bids were deemed too high; was ready for occupancy in less than a year. Plans were, drawn by E. C. Van Leven of Detroit, then one of the foremost architects in the state. the schoolhouse located less than two blocks from her family’s home. She remembers being awakened by the commotion around her, then watching the giant blazing timbers of the superstructure collapse. Most of all, she wondered if she would ever be able to attend school again. The Union School had been erected in 1884 at a cost of $8,000, but according to a News account following the tragedy, “could „ not be duplicated for less than $12,000.” Total loss, in­ cluding contents, was estimated at $15,000, of which only $8,000 was covered by insurance. “The school board has been in almost continuous session ever since the fire,” observed the News “and through the kindness of the various churches, will be ready to resume classes February 17, rising four churches and a vacant room over Truman’s stores.” Two weeks later, a special school meeting was called at the Opera House to vote on a proposition for financing a new school building, to replace the one lost by fire. “The local district voted to bond for $6,000 for the pur­ pose, of building a new school,” noted the News in a subsequent account of that meeting. “After con­ siderable argument and oratory, it was decided that that amount, added to the $8,000 insurance 'money, would'provide enough funds to erect a school that would meet the district’s needs.” A "building committee, composed of John Furniss, C. L. Glasgow and C. M. Putnam, was elected that night. A month later, it had been decided to build the new school of red brick. “A field stone building had been favored by some, but would have proved too expensive,” observed the News. As quickly as plans were completed by architect Edward C. Van Leven of Detroit, the board advertised for construction bids. But when the bids were opened in early May, the board rejected them all as too high and decided to build the school foundation up to grade line, with William Liebhauser in charge ’and work done by day labor. Meanwhile, the board sought new construction bids to be considered in June. “Again all bids for the new school building have been adjudged by the board as too high and it has been decided to carry on the rest of the construction on the same day-labor basis as has been followed for erecting the foundation,” reported the News. “W. J. Liebhauser has been named superin­ tendent of construction at a salary of $3.50 per day.” Work continued throughout the summer and fall months. “It appears the new school building will be ready for occupancy after the holidays,” the News in­ formed readers in late November 1902. On January 16, 1903, less than a year after the fire, Nashville dedicated a new building that was, according to the News, “far superior in every way to the old one, and one which is a source of pride to every resident of the community.” . Rainy summer weather and difficulty in securing certain building materials had slowed construction somewhat, but completion of the school fell only a couple weeks later than a January 1 target date. Nashville was justly proud of its impressive and sturdy new temple of learning. “The new building has arisen from the ruins of the old one, but covers more ground, and is a much larger building, having a frontage of 72 feet and a depth of 70 feet, with at'least 25 percent more capacity,” related the. News. “It is an elegant building thoroughly well built, splendidly lighted, <and with every modern con­ venience. It will give our schools such a home as they may be proud of, for years to come.” The News continued the narrative with a floor-byfloor description of the new structure, starting with the first level which contained four large classrooms to be used by primary pupils.. “Midway between the first Continued on next page— We Are Taking Orders For Your Valentine ROSES - BLOOMING PLANTS DISH GARDENS WATCHES and JEWELRY Nashville FLOWERS & GIFTS 233 N.

On both floors, each room contains a separate wardrobe for the .use of the teacher. “The heating plant is in the basement, the boiler which went through the fire being utilized to furnish the steam for the system. 11131 this boiler is perfectly safe, and uninjured by the fire, has been proven by thorough tests and careful examination. It stood a test of 57 pounds hydraulic pressure without showing a leak or any sign of weakness. In ordinary use the pressure will not exceed three to five pounds, and never more than ten or twelve. The heating plant was installed by Weatherly & Pulte of Grand Rapids, and has shown its capacity to heat the building in severe weather without trouble. The boiler room is in the north part of the basement, at the center, and has a large fuel room on each side, from which it is separated by solid two-foot stone walls. The room is to be made fireproof, which will easily be done by covering the joists overhead with asbestos and then putting on a steel ceiling, and installing three iron doors. “In the front part of the basement are -two playrooms, one for the girls WATER HEATERS GAS OR ELECTRIC 30 GAL & UP NASHVILLLE HARDWARE 105 NORTH MAIN ST. 852-0713 continued on the west side, and one for the boys on the east side. These will be entirely separate- from each other. There are. ample closets (toilets) in each of these rooms, supplied with city water .and connected With the new sewer. The basement is as well heated as any other part of the building, is equipped- with electric lights, and has large, airy corridors and cement floors. “The'main entrance to the building is toward the south, and is very handsome. There is also an additional en­ trance to the west, which would prove a valuable exit in case of fire, for which we hope it will never be needed. The stairways are all short flights, with easy rises and broad landings, so that the fatique of climbing stairs will be reduced to minimum. There is a large window midway between the first and second floors, on the west, which serves the purpose of furnishing light to the halls of both floors. These halls are also equipped with electric lights, as are the high school room and the superintendent’s office. “The excellent quality of glass used in the building enhances the beauty of it. Every room is thoroughly well lighted, and the win­ dows are high enough from the floor so that when the pupils are at their studies they will not be destracted by anything going on in the streets outside. All of the inside doors are fitted with chipped glass, while the outside and vestibule doors are fitted with the best quality of plate glass. The roof is covered with slate, and is a splendid example of the work of F. J. Brattin of this village, who also did the galvanized steel work on the building. The plumbing in the building is in the hands of C. L. Glasgow, which is a sufficient guarantee that it is well and thoroughly done. “Taken as a whole, the building is one of which the people of the district may well be proud,” concluded the News. "We doubt if another town of the size of Nashville in the state can show so well-built and thoroughly modern a building for school purposes. Let us hope that it may stand many years without meeting the fate of its predecessor.” Classes reopened in the new school on January 12, 1903. Nashville’s year of tribulation had ended; a new era had begun. NOTICE AH cancellations and changes must be in by 5 p.m. Fridays for following publication.

Thanks to Friends of the Library members Joy Peake and Ardyce Robotham , heart-shaped cookies offered a colorful and tasty invitation to library patrons to "Be Be My Friend." The goodies were offered for sale in the lobby of the library, with the larger ones priced at 50 cents and the smaller ones at a quarter. Proceeds from the sale of the iced cookies will help the Friends of the Library purchase a movie projector for the library. Demand for the cookies was so great Friday evening, that only a single cookie was left Saturday morning. Joy and Ardyce immediately baked and decorated a new batch of cookies to replenish the supply. It is expected that the cookies will remain on sale at the library through this week. In the photo. Librarian La Duska Sheldon arranges the Valentine cookies for display..

Owner Patricia O’Dell says she ventured into the restaurant business because she’s always enjoyed “fooling around in the kit­ chen” and because “we needed one (a restaurant) in town.” The Sugar Hut is the only family cafe in the village. With its homespun at­ mosphere, the cafe has become a central meeting place for many who enjoy sippin’ coffee and catching up on the latest news as well as those who enjoy homehome­ style cooking at reasonable prices., The aroma of fresh baked goods...donuts and pies and other goodies... is enticing loo. The Sugar Hut Cafe seats 65 and is available for banquets, private parties, and meetings. Pat and Jane Wells were partners in the cafe when the business opened in 1978. Now Pat is handling the operation of the restaurant on her own with assistance from em­ ployees Lillian Eaton and Mary Swan. Pat has been a Ver­ montville resident since 1971. She is especially in­ terested in learning more about the history of the building which houses the Sugar Hut. Pat comments that it is one of the oldest buildings in the business strip. To date, she has learned that the building was formerly known as Hammond’s Jewelry in 1923. The jewelry store went out of business in 1934. It is thought that the building was first used as a restaurant by Ralph and May Perkey in the 40’s. Pat, a former California resident, is serving her second term cis president of the Vermontville Chamber of Commerce. Pat's Sugar Hut Cafe is a quaint spot in picturesque Vermontville with its blue and white checked gingham curtains symbolic of the warm, homespun atmosphere that prevails inside. Having a snack at "grand­ ma's" cafe is a wonderful treat-for Michael O'Dell, who is a frequent visitor.

Nash opposes red uction of tax tribunal judges - A bill approved by the House Monday night will undermine taxpayers’ ability to get relief from inequitable assessments, the measure’s only dissenter said today. State Representative Ernest Nash (R-Dimondale) said the bill will reduce the number of judges on the state tax tribunal by two. “The effect of this bill would.be to make it more difficult for our taxpayers to find relief from excessive property valuation,” Nash said. “With fewer judges, the Send A Little Love To All Your Friends Remember special people on Wednesday, February 14 with loving Hallmark Valentines. They’ll love your for it! appeal process would naturally become bogged down and people would have to wait longer than they do now to present their cases to the tribunal. “With people’s concern over the high cost of taxation today, this is not the time to hamper the only effective means they have for ap­ peal.” Nash said the Legislature increased the number of judges on the tax tribunal by two judges three years ago because of the caseload. “The caseload is still very heavy, but the House reversed itself and decided to reduce the judges despite that,” he continued. “When taxpayers have to wait for a long time for their appeal to be heard, they usually give up. Un­ fortunately, by passing this bill we could be encouraging the payment of inequitable taxes in some cases.” Nash said the bill was sent to the House with a favorable recommendation from the House Taxation Committee. “The committee based its recommendation on the fact that no one opposed it at a public hearing. But I don’t think the general public even knew that the bill was being discussed,” Nash said. “If the taxpayers of this state were aware of the action of the House they would be very displeased." Nash said the bill will now The Symphonettes, 15 students from the Grand Rapids School of the Bible and Music, will present a musical concert at the Vermontville Bible Church on February 17 at 11:00 a.m. The Grand Rapids School of the Bible and Music is a technical training institute offering a concentrated education in the Bible. Music is also a major emphasis at the school. Many of the 600 students are involved in a weekly musical ministry. Rev. John Miles, the school’s founder and president, has stated, “The unique character of the Bible institute meets a burgeoning need in today’s society. That need is to relate man to God in a positive manner as prescribed in the Holy Scriptures. Our lovely 20acre campus provides ex­ cellent - facilities for meaningful training.” The music of the Symphonettes is designed to fulfill that concept. Their director, Miss Mary Ruth Boyd, has planned their repertoire to give a balanced program of hymns, gosnol songs and spirituals that are c o ns e r v a t i v e in arrangement but bright and pleasing in style. The public is cordially invited to attend. There is no admission charge.

You may be sent to the Senate Finance Committee for fyrther consideration. “I predict that it will have a less enthusiastic reception in the Senate,” Nash said. “There is still a chance that the tribunal can maintain its present number of judges and I will encourage my colleagues m the Senate to see that^this happens by opposing the passage of H.B. 4280." bring your own skates or rent them there.

Corkwell, Village Clerk �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday. February 13. 1980 — Page 10 Local citizens seek top village wait through lengthy corncil discussions in order to air problems at a meeting. In long-range goals for Nashville, Spoelstra would like to see the town made more attractive by looking into available grants for reshaping the business district. “This will not happen in the near future,” predicted Spoelstra, “But it is something to plan for, and il~~won’t happen without grants.” Justin W. Cooley (Editor’s Note: This is the second of a 2-part "Meet the_ Candidates” story to acquaint local readers with the people behind the names on Nashville’s February 18 Primary Election ballot. Last week, we presented interviews with four can­ didates vying for three seats opening on the Nashville Village Council in the Spring. This week, we are presenting interviews with the two contenders for the office of village president along with reports on the three unop­ posed incumbents for the village posts of clerk, treasurer, and assessor.) by Susan Hinckley U HAROLD CHRISTIAN­ SEN, of 132 S.

He is seeking re-election to a seat he has held since 1978. Christiansen also served as Nashville’s president from 1968-70. Raised in the Hastings area, Christiansen moved to Nashville in 1952. He retired from International Seal and Lock Company (Viking Corp.) in 1967, where he was a machine operator. Since his arrival in Nash­ ville,, Harold has made a long list of contributions to the community. In addition to his service as village president, he has been an active member in the Nash­ ville Chamber of Commerce since 1958 and served as treasurer of the organization from 1959-64. Christiansen has headed Nashville’s Maple Syrup Association since 1967; this Spring will be his 13th year in that post. He has been active in the local Lions Club for seven years and is currently serving as Lion Tamer. Christiansen has acted as a volunteer caretaker at Putnam Park since 1970. He has been actively in­ volved in the local Boy Scouts and Cub Scouts, having served several years as Scouting Committee Chairman. Christiansen’s interest in scouting dates back to 1914, when he first joined a Boy Scout troop. The organization was only ten years old at that time. Christiansen was married in 1972 to the former Josephine Rose. Asked about problems facing Nashville, Christiansen expressed concern about the village acquiring industry. “Now that we’have sewer, we need industry,” he said. “But a drawback to establishing industry in Nashville is its topography.” He explained that there is not sufficient level land, served by both sewer and water, available in the village for industrial expansion. “It would take a lot of time and money to develop an appropriate site,” added Christiansen, who said he did not expect such growth in the foreseeable future. Christiansen also said he would like to see more senior citizen housing in Nashville. “Our biggest resource right now is senior citizens,” he noted. “They have to have housing, clothing, food and medicine.” On another subject, Christiansen said he would like to see Nashville get a little closer to Vermontville in affiliations, with the two communities trying to work together through various civic groups. Christiansen would also like to see more local citizens take an interest in different branches of government. He noted that as president he has experienced difficulty in getting qualified people to serve on various village boards.

Spoelstra is currently a member of Nashville’s village council, and will be completing his second consecutive 2-year term on the council when the presidential post opens April 1. Spoelstra was first elected as a village trustee in 1976. He has served on various council committees during that time and presently heads the Finance and In­ surance CommitteerWhichis largely responsible for formulating the annual village budget. He is a current representative of the council to Nashville’s Fire and Ambulance boards. Spoelstra has. lived in Nashville six years. He was born and raised in Grand Rapids. There, he attended Ottawa Hills School and South High. He received his diploma here through the Adult Education program at Maple Valley. Spoelstra served as an air policeman with the U.S. Air Force from .1950-53. In September, he will celebrate his 25th year of employment with Michigan Bell Telephone Company. He and his wife were also poowners of the former K. & S. Dairy Delight in Nashville. They sold the business last year. Spoelstra is married to the former Clara Marie Burdick of Nashville. The couple has four children: Mrs. Diane Nisse, and Ted Spoelstra, Jr., both of Nashville; and Sue, 17, and Cara, 8, both at home.

Spoelstra has also served as a member of the Maple Valley Adult Education Advisory Board, and has been a trustee in the Nash­ ville Maple Syrup Association. One concern Spoelstra sees facing Nashville has to do with the village dump, or sanitary landfill. > “The landfill may become a problem because of . new state regulations governing its operation,” he said. The council has recently received communications from the state outlining costly procedures that are necessary for maintaining a landfill, Spoelstra explained. On another topic, Spoelstra expressed concern for the youth of the village. “I would like to see an. ac­ tivity center for our a teenagers become reality,” he commented. Another goal of Spoelstra’s would be to restructure council meetings a bit to make them more attractive for visitors, in order to en­ courage better attendance and participation from the general public. “We need an agenda, not an iron-clad one, but at least a format to move the meeting right along,” he explained.

Seniors hear details of 'home rehabilitation program' By Susan Hinckley “It’s too good to be true,” was the sentiment expressed by many local senior citizens at the Nashville Nutrition Site last Wednesday noon, after the group heard Steven Reid, administrative assistant in the Barry County Grants office, tell of a grant program that can rehabilitate their homes. Reid admitted the program may be hard to believe, but it is absolutely free to qualified individuals. Persons living in Castleton or Maple Grove townships are eligible, based on their income and family size.

Reid (right), administrative assistant in the Barry County Grants Office, tells Nashville senior citizens about the home rehabilitation program which can help bring approximately 30 homes in the townships'of Castleton and Maple Grove up to Barry County's Basic Maintenance Code. Reid asked that the senior citizens help in spreading the word about the grant program which can allot as much as $8,000 in basic repairs on owner-occupied dwellings for qualified homeowners. Housing and Urban Development. The grant was approved in 1979 for Nash­ ville and the two townships, and will be coming to the community over the next two years. “Making homes safer is what we’re really concerned about,” said Reid of the rehabilitation program. The funds will be used to bring dwellings to meet building code standards. In a list of possible items that could be covered in rehabilitation, Reid listed: roof, guttersand down spouts, exterior walls, windows and screens, porches, handrails, stairs, foundations, heating plants, chimneys, water heaters, kitchen sink and other plumbing, floors, lighting and wiring, interior walls, woodwork and ceilings. The yard and accessory buildings are also included. Repairs will be made only to owner occupied homes in the. two townships and village.

We were sorry to learn of the death last week of Graydon Andrews of rural Nashville. We had already submitted last week’s column when word was received of his passing Saturday morning. Con­ dolences are extended to the family in their loss. Graydon was a lifelong resident and highly respected member of our community. In his earlier years, he was a music teacher in our local school but gave that up to become a full-time farmer. His continuing interest in the school was apparent, though, as evidenced by his total of nearly 20 years service on the boards of both the Quailtrap country school, southeast of Nashville, and the village school. His tenure on the Nashville School Board began in the late 1940’s and continued several 'The Mirrors image ,^pe wiuom niiaae, observed the Windy City from the 103rd floor.

At the end of the syrup season, proceeds from the sale of the sweet produce are split among these various groups, based on the manhours each devoted to the task. ‘ Because of our unusual weather this winter, no one seems willing to make any concrete predictions about how the upcoming syrup crop has been affected.

Despite widespread illness in our community and the particularly poor driving conditions Saturday night, about 150 adults of the Nash­ ville Baptist Church turned out for their annual Sweetheart Banquet, • held February 9 at the Sveden House in Lansing. A delicious dinner was enjoyed, in addition to presentation of various humorous skits and the awarding of gag gifts. The event was emceed by Steven Knight of Nashville. Married couples of the Nashville Baptist Church are planning a winter sports excursion to Echo Valley near Kalamazoo on Satur­ day, March 1. This event is a rescheduling of one that had to be postponed earlier this year due to lack of snow. The group will depart from the church at 12 noon and expect to be back in Nashville about 6 p.m. Plans inelude eating out before returning home. The flu epidemic and related illnesses are still taking their toll on Nashville and environs, as many folks are still being knocked out by the bug. There was even some conjecture by various citizens last week that perhaps the schools should be closed for a week or so, in an attempt to halt the con­ tagion. _ The Nashville Police Dept, had a slow month in January, Sgt. Eugene Koetje, acting chief, told the village council at their meeting last Thursday. The department handled 45 complaints last month, he reported, and issued 5 moving violations and 8 parking tickets. The driving privilege of one school student was revoked. Complaints received in­ cluded 4 bad checks, 4 malicious destructions to property, 2 larcenies, and 1 breaking and entering. Nashville police assisted Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, officers five times during the month and aided Eaton County twice. The Nashville police cruiser was driven 2520 miles in January and used 247 gallons of gasoline. At Sgt. Koetje’s suggestion, the village council entered into their official minutes their ap­ preciation of Nolan Goodner for his quick action in recently reporting a breaking and entering in progress. Because of Goodner’s willingness to get involved, Koetje explained, a suspect was apprehended immediately after the reported incident. Goodner, of Nashville, kept suspicious activity at a local service station under surveillance while dispatching a friend to flag down Sgt. Koetje, who was patrolling in the area. Koetje entered the station and the suspect was arrested later not far from the scene. Village officials are trying to locate a suitable place to park a semi trailer, to serve as a collection point for the local Cub Scouts paper recycling project The scouts recently lost their collection point for the fund-raising program when the old pump house at Putnam Park began to undergo restoration as a community room. Previously, the scouts had stashed papers there until having the load hauled away. Hopefully, papers can now be loaded directly into the rig which will be furnished by the paper buyer. Mrs. Elizabeth Lynch and Mrs. Margaret Wagner, both of Nashville, returned home last Wednesday after a fourweeks, 3,600-mile round trip to Florida to visit friends and relatives in the South. The first stop was at Augusta, to call on Georgia,, Elizabeth’s sister-in-law, Mrs. Robert Barbin. Leaving there, the ladies enjoyed tours of SL Augustine and Cape Canaveral, Florida, then spent a long weekend with Margaret’s friend, Mrs. James Kuhn, Boca Raton. Next, the ladies called on former local resident and Nashville area native Orville DeBolt at Naples. Then, at Ft. Myers Beach, they visited Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Randall. After a long weekend with friends at Venice, the ladies toured both Busch and Cypress Gardens. Next, they called on Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Douse at Lakeland. They also had an opportunity to visit briefly with Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bateman. The final weekend of the trip was spent at Lake Panasoffkee with former Nashville resident Dr. Robert White wife, Loris. and his Elizabeth reports that despite the fact that many Florida folks thought the weather was chilly, they found it delightful after leaving Michigan on a 6above-zero morning. They encountered very little snow on the trip south and also had good roads for the journey home. Committee heads for the upcoming Harvest Festival, set for Sept. 19 and 20, were recently named by the RRDC, sponsors of the event. The slate is much the same as last year.

Elegant open staircase led to 2nd floor rug department. Memories of the past Back in the days when sewing machines hummed routinely in nearly every Nashville household, E. A. Hannemann’s Dry Goods store played an important role in the community. Located on Main Street, where the south portion of the new Post Office now sits, Hannemann’s offered essential ingredients for local ladies to fashion gowns of elegant silk as well as shirts of practical flannel. Featuring fabrics from fancy to plain, Hannemann’s catered to a wide range of tastes. Fine linen yard goods for the making of splendid tablecloths and tea towels were sold alongside plenty of sturdy cottons for everyday needs. ‘‘Hannemann’s sold almost anything that far­ mers or farmers’ wives In a photo taken probably in the early 1920's, proprietor Edgar Hannemann stands near hitching rails that front his Main Street dry goods store in Nashville. When Hannemann bought the former Kocher store in 1914, most shoppers still traveled by horse and buggy. needed in the dry good line,” remembers Helen Kinne Huwe, who clerked in the store during the mid-1920’s while on summer vacation from her regular job as teacher at the Quailtrap country school in Maple Grove Township. Starting at Hannemann’s in June 1925 for wages of $3.50 per week, Helen also clerked in the store during her Christmas holiday from school. A diary kept by Helen in those years recorded’ weekly pay in­ creases that took her over the eight dollar mark when she retired from clerking in 1926. At that time, she was also handling correspon­ dence and some office duties for the store. The diary also recounted the myriad duties handled by the store clerks in their spare minutes between waiting on customers. Patterns were restocked and bolts of lace were trimmed, among other tasks. STIHL SAWS HOLD UP That's because they're de­ signed to last at least twice as long as any other popular saw. Even the so-called "normal wear" parts aren't normal. They keep right on working to make Stihl saws (like the 020 AV Pro shown above) the most reliable chain saws you'll ever get your hands on. AND Nashville Hardware WON'T LET YOU DOWN. 10514. Main, Nashville Phone 852-0713 Lace curtains and sewing materials decorate the windows of E. A. Hannemann’s Dry Goods store in mid-1920's. The building was situated on site now occupied by south portion of Nashville's new post office. “Most people sewed in those days,” recalls Helen. Women came to Hannemann’s to buy fabric, patterns, thread and trim to create their own fashionable outfits at home. Yard goods were displayed along the south wall of Hannemann’s store. There were bolts of silks, satins, dimities, and plisse. And flannels. “The store carried lots and lots of flannel,” said Helen. Belding and Cortiselli silk thread was dispensed from a tall wooden spool. cabinet nearby. For quilt-making, there were yards of batting and lining materials. In addition to sewing needs, Hannemann’s carried some ready-to-wear. There was an extensive line of underwear for both men and women; and there were serviceable work dresses for ladies; and workshirts and denim overalls and winter apparel for the gents. Helen’s diary noted a busy day of brushing a newly arrived shipment of coats before they could be put on display. She Htelieves the garments probably came packed in a huge wooden crate. Hoisery and gloves were a big item at Hannemann’s. And then there were ladies’ purses, and umbrellas, and suitcases and trunks. And there were household items: lacy curtains, dark green window shades, linoleums, throw rugs and carpets. “We sold Wilton and Axminister rugs,” said Helen, “I remember those two names.” For the most part, it was the rug mer­ chandise she rarely had a chance to show. Floor coverings were displayed on the upper level of the store, reached via a magnificent open staircase that have been carved of cherry by the late Issac N. Kellogg of Nashville. “The stairs were a thing of beauty,” recalls Helen. Store proprietor Edgar Hannemann generally handled business in the rug depart­ ment. At the busiest times noted in Helen’s diary, there were five persons working at the store. Edgar Hannemann; c his wife, Clara; Villa Parrott Olin; Helen; and Dick Wheeler, who also swept the store in addition to clerking. The Hannemanns had arrived in Nashville in 1914 from Grand Rapids, and had purchased the dry goods store formerly owned by John and Will Kocher. The Hannemanns took up residence on North State Street, in what is the presentday Richardson home. “This store is in business Continued next page— Farmers.

The store opened at 8:301 a.m. every day but Sunday, and there was an established routine for readying the place for business each day. “I had to dust the whole store every morning,” recalls Helen. Her diary reveals that some days business was so good that she didn’t get the dusting completed until 10:30 a.m. The store closed at 6 p.m., except for Wednesday and Saturdays, when farm families flocked to Nashville for their weekly shopping and visiting sprees. There were also additional evening hours at Christmastime for the convenience of holiday shoppers. There were no cash registers at Hannemann’s. Receipts were kept, instead, in about five under-counter cash drawers located in various departments of the store. Tall, thin Edgar Hannemann is recalled by Helen as “a very nice man.” His continued wife, Clara, a stoutly built woman, also clerked in the store at times but not every day. Then tragedy struck. On August 1, 1930, Hannemann died in a swimming accident “Edgar' A. Hannemann, prominent Nashville businessman,died Monday from injuries received when he dove off the abutment of a bridge into the Pigeon River west of Holland, and struck his head on the bottom of the river,” reported the Nash­ ville News. With the help of cleric Villa Olin and others, Clara Hannemann continued to operate the store for a time, but she eventually sold the business. It was later known as Lines’ Dept. Store. Clara Hannemann remained in Nashville. When she died here in September 1957 at age 73, she had lived in the village for 43 years. The Hannemanns had no children, and at her death her only survivor was a brother living in Grand Rapids. Today, many local folks still recall the Hannemann name in connection with the Main Street store which helped busy Nashville housewives clothe their families and furnish their homes for nearly 20 years.

Workshop on elderly set A workshop on the multi­ year plan for -serving the elderly of Barry, Branch, Calhoun, Kalamazoo, and St Joseph counties will be held on Monday, February 25. Sponsored by the South­ central Michigan Com­ mission on Aging, the SMCA workshop will be held at Western Michigan University, in Room 210 of the Student Center. The half day session starts at 9:30 a.m. and will end at noon. Each year since 1974, the SMCA has written an annual plan for services to the elderly in the five counties comprising Region III. This plan has been the basis on which SMCA allocates both its -staff time and financial resources. In 1978, Congress amended the Older Americans Act and called for a three-yea r plan with an annual implementation plan to be developed each year. Senior citizens, agencies serving the elderly, and individuals with a special interest in aging are invited to participate and give in­ formational input to the formulation of an area plan. Participants will be requested to identify eight major problems experienced by seniors. Each of these areas will serve as smaller study group topics. Actions needed to-alleviate barriers to the solution of -these problems will then be proposed. More information on the planning process may be obtained by calling Paul Petro, Planning and Research Manager for the SMCA, at(616) 343-4996. Citizenship Awards this Jacoby’s room.

Chamber president Charles Andrus, Jr., who arranged for Gilmer’s ap­ pearance, asked members Wednesday to notify him of particular areas of interest so that he may forward the Ernest Nash State Representative 13251303 SHARPENED POINTS - The House has approved adding a point to a driver’s record for freeway speeding violations between 60 and 70 mph. However, the Senate had passed SB 471 with a point for violations above 55 mph., so the dif­ ference must be resolved. COST CHANGES - Governor Milliken has signed into law HB 4664, which increases the marriage license application fee to $20 from $5, and SB 97, which allows community colleges to waive tuition for qualified students who are 60 or older. LOTTERY LIFE - Both houses have now approved HB 5139, which extends the life of the Michigan lottery until July 1, 1984. This is another example of “sunset” legislation which puts a definite limit on a program: it must be re­ enacted, or die. APPEALS DECISION - The Court of Appeals has ruled that persons forced out of a job due to a mandatory­ retirement provision in a union-approved contract are ineligible to receive unemployment benefits. Meanwhile, the enlarged Workers’ Compensation Appeal Board has stepped up its decision rate and disposed of a record 1,837 cases during 1979. SUBWAY MONEY? - House action will decide the fate of SCR 537, which would release $950,000 in preliminary engineering funds for a light-rail mass-transit system, in­ cluding a subway, for southeastern Michigan. Two separate votes were necessary to gain Senate approval and a close vote is expected in the House due to concern about large expenditures for the Detroit area. I will not be supporting SCR 537. AUTO INTEREST - The House will soon vote on HB 5143, which would allow interestrates on 3-year loans to buy new or late-model used cars to increase to 16.24 percent from the present 12.83 percent. Present law dates from the 1950’s when interest rates were low; with today’s high interest rates, it is often-difficult to get auto loans under the old ceiling. DEPOSIT INTEREST - Now before the House is HB 4037, which would require the payment of five percent interest per year on security deposits held by landlords. Upon moving out, a tenant would get his deposit back plus interest, or annual interest if he stays over three years. RESTROOM RIGHTS - Soon to be considered is HB 5100, which would outlaw surveillance of people using public restrooms or dressing rooms. It is designed to prevent storeowners or others from invading someone’s privacy: it would not affect legitimate law-enforcement surveillance. FOOD LICENSES - The Food Establishment Licensing Law became effective January 22, so the Department of Agriculture has mailed some 16,000 license applications to such Michigan firms. This single license, required by April 1, will replace several different state and local ones. The book, Widow’s Walk, by Jane W. Shoemaker is well done, covering many areas of impor­ tance to those who have lost a husband. Concerns such as children and their emotions, financial matters, new activi­ ties, household problems, and making new friends are attended The widow who reads it to. within a few weeks of the loss of her husband will benefit greatly from it.

This will aid the Representative in selecting topics of particular local concern for his (presentation to the Nashville audience. Andrus said members may submit lists of suggested topics at the Chamber’s March meeting. In other business relating to programs and general attendance at Chamber meetings, the group was very receptive to an idea offered by member Joyce Southworth. Mrs. South­ worth suggested spotlighting individual members of the Chamber at various monthly meetings. If each were to furnish one monthly program by speaking briefly about his or her retail business or profession, it would help to inform other members of the goods and Services available in the community. Mrs. South­ worth explained. President Andrus agreed, saying such a program could be very “enlightening and in­ formative.” In another general discussion, the Chamber weighed the value of a proposed downtown development plan and professional engineering survey. The project is to be paid for with $7,500 of a $405,000 Community Block Grant which will be coming to Nashville and the town- Super Saturday” planned for parents, students & teachers Students in grades 4 through Middle School, in­ terested parents, teachers, and administrators are invited to spend an exciting day together learning about and discussing alternatives for the “Future.” Futures Super Saturday, sponsored by Eaton In­ termediate School District, Local FFA members earn honors in district contests Congratulations to Maple Valley FFA members who won awards at the District FFA Leadership Contests recently held at Bellevue.

That young lady is Rebecca Jo Cowell, the village’s top ranking royalty. She was selected for the honor from a field of five candidates by a panel of judges last week. Rebecca (Becky) is an allaround gal who enjoys a wide variety of interests from hunting rabbits to writing poetry. She is the 17-year old daughter of Mrs. and Mrs. Hank Cowell of Brown Road. Rebecca has two sisters and Whether it's riding a snowmobile or riding a horse, the new queen enjoys the outdoors. two brothers: Sheila, 23, of Nashville; Kelli, 15; Ken, 22; and Steve, 21; at home. Sheila was a member of the syrup queen’s court in 1973. Rebecca enjoys many activities with her family. It’s not unusual to seeing the entire family zooming along on a snowmobile outing or to spot several members hunting together. The challenge of rabbit hunting is appealing to Rebecca who says “I’m proud of the two rabbits I shot with one shot a piece — those babies fly.” She also hunts deer and pheasants and enjoys fishing. One of her favorite ac­ tivities is showing quarter horses. “I’ve been riding horses ever since I was this high,” says the new queen as she gestures with her hand held low. Mrs. Cowell adds, “We can’t remember when Becky wasn’t riding horses. The new queen was just nine years old when she made her first official showing at the fair. Before that, her brothers would sometimes give her a chance to show their horses in a halter class. Now, showing horses consumes almost all of Rebecca’s weekends in the summer and she has a bevy of trophies and ribbons to show for her efforts. Awards that have special significance to her are the two reserve grand cham­ pionships she, won at the fair; the time she was selected to be an alternate at the state fair; winning the high point trophy at one show; and winning reserved champion of the halter class at another show. She also won 73 ribbons with her pony. The CoWells have five quarter horses and two grade horses. A five-year-old quarter horse named “Jackie Two Eyes” is the horse Rebecca loves the best. In fact, she has even immortalized the horse by writing a poem about him. Poetry is another hobby in which Rebecca excells. She enjoys creating special cards and verses for various holidays throughout the year. Her mother can always look forward to a special personalized greeting on Mother’s Day or Valentine’s Day. Subjects vary in her poetry as well as the tone — some are serious, thought­ provoking pieces while others are purely en­ tertaining and filled with humor. Most of all, Rebecca says her writing.reflects her feelings. 4-H has been an activity Rebecca has enjoyed for eight years. She is president of the Maple Valley Riders 4­ H Club of which her parents share an interest by devoting their time as leaders of the group. At Maple Valley High School-where Rebecca is a junior, she is taking courses which will help her pursue a secretarial career. She has enjoyed a creative writing class and likes to write “any story about a horse.” Journalism is another favorite. She loves working for “Valley Visions,” the school newspaper. Conducting interviews is something she enjoys because of her interest in talking with people. Rebecca’s extracurricular activities have included serving as a cheerleader for four years (since seventh grade) and playing basketball, softball, and powder puff football. She comments that, “This is the first year that I haven’t been a cheerleader and I miss it some.” She is a member of the National Honor Society and Varsity Club. She also is a former member of the school choir. Rebecca is looking forward to her new role as the community’s ambassador for promoting its annual syrup festival which is slated for the last weekend in April* “I think it’s exciting,” said, the new queen as she talks of looking forward to the many parades and TV appearances in which she will be participating. In addition Continued on next page— Rebecca admires the photo album-scrapbook she received from Janet Siple, last year's queen. The gift of an album has become a tradition, passed on from queen to queen. The new queen is an avid hunter. Here, she cleans her gun after a session of rabbit hunting.

Her creative works include both serious and humorous themes. to Vermontville’s own parade, she will featured in about seven others. She’ll be promoting local maple syrup and the festival on Channels 3, 6, 8, and 10. Knowledge of the syrup making process is an essential ingredient to being Vermontville’s queen. In anticipation of entering the queen contest, Rebecca Poetry by SNOWFLAKE By Rebecca Jo Cowell I like the way the snow falls to the ground, How it executes the fall so gracefully. Sometimes I wish it were me, Gliding in th< 'd with not a care in tht 1 Except for what to land upon. Would it be another snowflake? Or a person’s flesh, Or a body of water That would make me disappear on my arrival? Maybe I would be the first one to fall, And have the glory of skating out my own little spot On the ground before another took it away. But then, maybe I would be the last of them all, And have to fight for what I wanted, Or remain stranded among the others. Yet there is hope to hang on to. This stays with me whereever I go as I am set free From above to find my own path. Still there is a faint ■ picture in my mind That tells me I am to hit earth And disappear forever into the black soil Upon which I fall. TIME OUT By Rebecca Jo Cowell The game is over. I have stopped competing against the many op­ ponents That face me in my battle. The time has run out. And the scoreboard show that I lost the game again. I gave up in the last quarter, Knowing that there was no way for me to come back And win your love. I played hard, and worked at different ways. spent a-great deal of time studying all phases of the process. She’s also had experience in and around the “sugar bush.” As a youngster, Rebecca enjoyed helping Merle Martin tap trees on a 12-acre plot owned by the Cowells. The Martins usually hang between 900 and 1,000 buckets on the Cowell’s trees and receive about 30 gallons of syrup in exchange. “I’ve helped gather sap, worked in the shanty, filled cans, sealed cans, and helped with customers,” she says. “This year I want to help a lot (with the syrup making process) if I can arrange it,” said Rebecca. Hampton wins Lions' Las Vegas trip The new Vermontville Syrup Queen, Rebecca Cowell, performed her first official duty last week, minutes after being selected for her new honor. That duty was to draw the winning name of the person to win the Vermontville Lions Club drawing for a trip to Las Vegas. Eugene Hampton of 3651 Swift Rd. in Nashville was the lucky winner. Shown in the photo with the queen is Carl Thrun, chairman of the Las Vegas drawing. ■ ■ ■ Rebecca Jo Cowell — To outsmart my opposition, But they came back to defeat me. The game was against me, but I was fighting for you. It was I who defeated myself. My spirit has run out, and my visions Of victory are just-that. The points I scored are worthless. I must find a new challenge, One I know I can win without much effort, For my strength is gone. The bus is waiting for me, And I must go, But I can clearly see you are out of my league. MY HORSE By Rebecca Jo Cowell Her name is Jackie Two Eyes And she is used for show But before I keep explaining There is something you should know. She has a special nick­ name It fits her pefectly I bet that you could figure it out You will get the clues from me. Even though it’s special It’s only four letters long, She really gets it told to her Whenever she does wrong. It fits her when she misses leads And when she don’t back straight, She does this in the showring And we always take the gate. It fits her when she ' don’t do things That I have asked her to. It fits her almost all the time But its really nothing new. I’ve left it to you to figure it out. And you can do just that, And when you’re done I’ll tell you That her special nicknames “Brat”. WORDS ON A PAGE By Rebecca Jo Cowell What are a few words on a page? Are they secrets in a code of some unknow form? Or are they a message of love from a close friend? Are they long or short, happy or sad, Or have no meaning at all. Maybe they tell a story that is easy to relate to, And at the same time, hard to understand. They can overtake you And make you see how powerful they really are. Are they words that are lost, confusing, or irresponsible? Is it possible that you may find yourself, Doing or feeling what was programmed, In your mind by a few words on a page?

Nashville. <3-4) Strokes may be prevented Stroke, long thought to strike suddenly and without any previous warnings, may now be prevented in perhaps as many as 50 percent of all cases, through early detection and proper medical care. “Great strides have been made in recent years in. the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of stroke,” said Dr. J. Gerald Gough, chairman of the stroke committee of the Michigan Heart Association. “The biggest downturn in stroke began to happen when we determined that there are indeed warning signs that may signal that a stroke is about to occur,” said Dr. Gough. “We’ve come up with an acronym to help people remember the six signs — DANGER.” Dizziness or unsteadiness A temporary loss of memory or change in mental ability Numbness or weakness in face, arm or leg Garbled speech or dif­ ficulty understanding speech Eye problem - a tem­ porary dimness, loss of sight or double vision, particularly in one eye Recent, severe, sudden headaches “Anyone who experiences any of these signs should see a doctor,” Dr. Gough said. “All of the signs may be symptoms of something else - often much less serious than stroke -- but why take the chance?” Suppose, however, that your doctor determines that in your case they are indeed warnings of an impending stroke. What can be done in the way of prevention? Your doctor might recommend anticoagulant drugs, or surgery, or various ways to modify some of your risk factors, such as high blood pressure, excess weight or smoking. For instance, high blood pressure, a generally symptomless condition, is still responsible for more strokes than any other single factor. Yet it is easily detected and may often be controlled simply by dietary changes or medication. It is also important to keep under control such things as blood cholesterol levels and diabetes, since these both increase one’s risk of stroke. “Stroke killed 7,000 people in Michigan last year,” Dr. Gough said, “and that’s all the more tragic when you realize that perhaps as many as half of those strokes could have been prevented if everyone knew - and heeded - the warning signs, and obtained proper medical attention.” For more information on stroke prevention and treatment, contact any office of the Michigan Heart Association. The Michigan Heart Association is a United Way agency.

Judy Swan, first grade teacher at Maplewood, made a general presentation covering the desirability for the establishment of a transition room between kindergarten and first grade. This room would serve children who have had an unsatisfactory kin­ dergarten year and-or ap­ pear to be immature in one or all of the following areas: academic development, social and-or emotional behavior, and physical development. A general question and answer period involving board members, elementary staff members, and some participation from parents present indicated that there was general interest in seeing further development of such a program providing funds are available to support such a program. Considering the un­ certainty of state aid and local funds available for the coming such year along with the uncertainty at the time regarding the number of students who will enroll in kindergarten, no action was taken at this time regarding development of such a room. This matter will receive further consideration as soon as above financial in­ formation and enrollment are more definite. Lucy Martin, English teacher at the Jr-Sr High School, presented the class size committee report. Some areas of concern expressed are as follows: 1. Teachers having students in pre-advanced classes could provide the counsellors lists of capable students who should enroll in the advanced classes.

Audio-visual presen­ tation to students to help inform and advise students about course offerings. 7.Considering holding Parent Visitation Days to help familiarize parents with various classes. 8. Consider offering some courses alternate years with allowance for independent study where conflicts develop. 9. Teachers, counsellors, administrators, and parents need to give students more encouragement to continue in the academic courses. 10. Review the present method of scheduling with investigation of computer Scheduling. Further study will be done in these areas with the intent being to make the desired changes as advisable. Trustee Russell Geary made the general presen­ tation covering changes in duties and responsibilities of bus drivers along with student conduct on the busses. The revised policy states that if it is necessary for the bus driver to leave the bus because of student conduct outside the bus, the driver is to stop the bus and remove the key before leaving the bus. This relates mainly to the time when the students are loading or unloading at the various buildings. In the area of student conduct on busses the major changes involve the following: Community Events . .

Trustee Lonny Kienutske declared he was “going to pursue getting rid of all inoperative, derelict junk cars parked in the village of Nashville.” Kienutske admitted that he himself might come under criticism, since he is in­ volved in preparing used autos for resale by a Hastings car dealer. Kienutske does the work at his used appliance warehouse located in the village. However, he claimed that all autos on his property are driveable, and he said he would support the council in court action against junk autos even if it involved himself, as he said he is not in violation of the zoning ordinance.

Elaine has worked part­ time for owners Vernon and Shirley Curtis since she sold the business to them in 1978. She and her first husband, the late Vic Higdon, first started a jewelry and watch repairing business in 1959 in the old Maker’s IGA on Main Street. Later, they moved the business in the store now occupied by Sandy’s Bar­ bershop on South Main. When Vic died in 1969, Elaine continued the business with the help of her sons, Bruce and Vance. In 1972, Elaine and her second husband, Donald Leonard, whom she married in 1970, acquired the former Jack De Groote flower shop on North Main and combined the floral and jewelry business. In 1975, the Leonard’s relocated their enterprise by remodeling the former Stop and Shop grocery store, and continued operation until the 1978 sale of it to Mr. and Mrs. Curtis. Donald also will retire the end of this month from Skyland Air Freight in Battle Creek. The Leonards look forward to gardening in their spare time, and hope to be able to travel some.

Wednesday, February 20, 1900 — Poge 14 Vermontville Syrup Corporation membership drive ‘80 begins Richard Todd, co-chairman of the syrup corporation membership dr,ive, displays the new Vermontville Festival brochures. Long before the trees are tapped for a new syrup season, planning for the annual Vermontville Syrup Festival begins. In fact, shortly after the April event ends, organizers and sponsors start wheels spinning for the next celebration. It’s interesting to note that several of the five can­ didates who vied for the syrup queen title this year, commented informally and to the judges that they love the festival the way it is and want to keep it as traditional as possible. What could be a more flattering comment from the youth of the village, tomorrow’s leaders? This April 25-27 will be Vermontville’s 40th syrup celebration, an event that was created as a result of barbershop banter and the leadership of Milton Lamb who made the ‘banter’ turn into reality which opened a vast market for syrup producers. The April 26 parade will start at 2 p.m. this year which is a little later than the past. Plans also call for the garden tractor pull event to expand this year because of its crowd pleasing appeal. In the discussion stage is the possibility of conducting a marathon run. This request was made by the school track coach. Over the years, the reputation of the tiny town has become “big” to maple syrup lovers and the festival attracts anywhere from 14­ 20,000 people depending on the weather. For the past several years, senior citizens from all parts of the state have been in­ creasingly flocking to the festival in tour groups. Last year there were more than 30 charter bus services at the festival. Hospitality is the main theme Of the -celebration, with pancakes and fresh maple syrup abundant. Producers sell their maple products at stands during the festivities. .Vernon Trowbridge, president of the Vermontville Syrup Cor- Support the Syrup Assoc. JOIN NOW! poration, comments that one of most common misunderstandings about the event is how the proceeds benefit the town. The money earned during the April weekend does not go into one pot for a big Community project. “The real benefit comes to our community with the proceeds going to individuall organizations — churches, the fire department, scouts, and others. In one weekend’s work, they are able to finance nearly a full year’s activities on what they earn during the festival. That is what is helping us all,” said Trowbridge. He points out that nearly everyone in the community has some sort of contact with at least one of the organizations during a year or with the school band which earns money at the festival. for “The churches, example, clear thousands off dollars...this all goes back to the community. Another town which hosts a syrup festival in Shepard designates its proceeds to a central project like building a new swimming pool for the community.. “Here, the association takes enough of the proceeds to make a small donation to the community and uses the remaining funds to finance the next year’s festival. Last year, Vermontville’s association used $620 of its profits to purchase chairs for the opera house. Many of the expenses involved in putting on a festival are for necessary items that run up the total cost. For instance, last year, the cost for port-a-jon units was over $1,000. Janitor services amounted to $303 at the school where the arts and crafts show, was held. Costs to make syrup were $1,031.76. Other expenses included advertising at $798; supplies, 961.43; utilities 619.31; insurance 773; parade, prizes, and clean-up — 851.89; entertainment, 432.92; queen's expenses and scholarship, 251.08; festival program, 456.90; shuttlebus, 351; and loud speaker, 400. Talking about the up­ coming maple syrup season, Trowbridge says producers have been washing buckets, getting their evaporators jn shape, and performing all the other preparatory jobs; “I think, now, the first nice day we see, will get things into swing (for tapping), he said Saturday. Predictions of the up­ coming season are games Trowbridge doesn’t play. “You never know about a syrup season, until it’s over,” he comments. Last year, the first big syrup run was about mid­ March. This is the time of the year when the Vermontville Syrup Corporation is seeking memberships. Flossie Corey and Richard Todd are co­ chairmen of the membership drive and will be calling on area merchants and residents. Todd, during- a recent conversation, related his enthusiasm for the festival and talked of its origin and benefit. “If the farmer can’t sell his syrup, he has less money to spend,” he said. So, not only is the festival a boon to the producers, but also to local and neighboring businesses who gain extra business as a direct result. Todd was president of the syrup corporation from 196467, during the time when Maple Manor was built. He has been a long-time active member and knows the abc’s of syrup making and the festival. He recalls the war days when a ceiling price of$3.39 was imposed on a gallon of syrup in 1944. This year, he says, “The T word is out that it’s going to be a short year...according to the syrup maker’s almanac. Because of attractive lumber prices, Todd says he is worried the the number of trees forr tapping will dwindle in the future. He notes that last fall, Todd 35 young trees were added (transplanted) to the hub of the village to be tapped in the years ahead. “The syrup festival has really put us on the map,” Todd says. “They know of us up in New York State.” For years, membership in the syrup corporation was llimited to Vermontville producers, but now it is open to the surrounding area. Those who purchase a membership, for a small fee, part of the become association and have full voting rights and can par­ ticipate in setting prices for the syrup, by-laws, and policy.

With the use of slides, the Gove representatives pointed out flaws in Nash­ ville’s present business district. These included lack of customer attraction at the rear of stores adjacent to the new village parking lot and lack of landscaping and lighting near the parking facility; the lack of a strong focal point for Central Park, and the absence of seating and lighting; the need for sidewalk furnishings, street trees or landscaping; and the large-vacant lot in the center of the business district. In pictures of Nash­ ville’s downtown stores, Howell pointed out historic page 1 building facades that are already in good condition and could be restored to their original beauty. Both firms stressed the need for forming a Down­ tow n Development Authority, which would permit merchants to gain revenue and pursue federal grants. Both stressed the importance of data collec­ tion for the project, including hearing community input and conducting a market analysis; and both pointed to the need for merchants to be implementation - oriented. Howell said most funds to complete the development project would have to come “out of the merchant’s back pocket,” but both companies offered to help steer local businessmen to available financing through low cost loans. The HUD grant ap­ portionment covers only the $7,500 planning phase of the project; implementation must be paid by the mer­ chants or sought through other sources. To earn the planning fee, Williams & Works estimated they would dedicate between 185 and 200 hours on the approximately 6 to 8 months job. Gove Associates estimated they would devote 317 hours to the project. Following the presen­ tations, Steven Reid chaired an informal discussion by NBOA members after the planners Had departed the meeting. He said he ap­ preciated Gove’s offer of a toll free telephone line and newsletter for Nashville merchants during the project, if they are awarded the contract. Williams & Works also received praise for their longtime association with Nashville in handling other village improvements. The group made no clearcut choice between the two firms, pending further review by Reid of the references furnished by each company.

Spoelstra, village trustee, 75­ 67 in Nashville's primary election Monday. Both ran as Republican candidates. There were no Democrats entered in the race. In the only other contest in the primary, incumbent Trustee Lonny L.-Kienutske lost out in a race in which four Republican candidates were, vying for three open seats on Nashville’s village council. Carl L. Tobias and Calvin D. Rizor were the top vote getters with 100 each; John Hughes received 91 votes and Kienutske, 60. Votes cast for unopposed incumbent Republican candidates for village offices were: Clerk Susan M. Cork­ well, 126; Treasurer Lois J. Elliston, 128; and Assessor Justin W. Cooley, 107.

February 27, 1980 Nashville’s civic “sugar bush” dates to 1942 Story by Susan Hinckley Scout Troop 177 has been doing the leg work of gathering sap this syrup season in Nashville, with the assistance of boys from Cub Scout Pack 3176. Tapping a tree in Central Park, Saturday, were (from left) Kenny Meade, Paul Kessler, Jr., Bobby Kessler, Assistant Scoutmaster David Kellogg, and Scott Reid. They have tapped approximately 600 trees and collected 960 gallons of sap Thursday. (Maple Valley News photo) Bank-to-bank suds smother Thornapple When Nashville’s village maples were tapped last week by local Boy Scouts and Cubs, another chapter was written in a saga that began as a patriotic effort during World War II. A threatened wartime sugar shortage prompted the first tapping of Nashville’s maples in 1942. In a com­ munity endeavor, local citizens volunteered to reap the natural sweetner from nearly a thousand village trees. The whole idea of a civic sugar bush was originally conceived by a local newsman. Len W. Feighner, longtime editor-publisher of the Nashville News (a 107year-old continuously published forerunner of the Maple Valley News) first pushed for the tapping in a 1918 editorial, when sugar was scarce and expensive due to World War I. Nothing was done that year, and by the time the next syrup-making season roBed around,'the war had ended. Years passed. Feighner sold the paper in 1928 but continued to make Nashville his home. “Came the year 1942 and America was again at war,” Donald F. Hinderliter, later edit or-publisher of the Nash­ ville News, wrote in his. paper in 1944. “Sugar rationing was again in force From a distance, it looked like mammoth banks of snow — though Nashville's ground was bare of the white stuff Saturday morning. Close-up, it appeared to be enough laundry suds for a month of Mondays. What it really was is a natural phenomenon that occurred at the Thornapple River dam early Saturday. Water seeping from under a thin layer of ice on the millpond flowed over the dam and swirled into mountains of suds at the base. Floes of foam huddled together as the river narrowed and carried the fluff downstream to create a bank-to-bank wall of suds some 8 to 10 feet tall. The natural churning of the river and the lack of wind are contributing factors in Mother Nature's mysterious and impressive display. (Maple Valley News photo) Leonard-Eaton hoists a bucket of sap to one of the trailer-mounted collection tanks used by Boy Scouts when they gather sap. (Maple Valley News photo) and Len Feighner, past 80, but still Nashville’s Number One booster, again wrote a ‘piece for the paper’.” This time, Feighner’s idea caught fire. Using borrowed buckets and other equip­ ment, and boiling in borrowed space in the old Standard Stamping plant, community volunteers set to work. Spearheading the task was a committee appointed by the Nashville Develop merit Association, a non­ profit organization then headed by Earl D. Olmstead. Leading the committee was J. Mearle Scott, township supervisor, with John Hamp, high school agricultural teacher, acting as secretary-treasurer and playing a key role. Hamp was responsible for guiding the more than 50 students who got involved in the early project. Members of the Future Farmers of America, aided by Nashville Boy Scouts, placed spiles in approximately 1,000 trees, hung buckets, collected sap in a couple of 80-gallon farm style water tanks mounted on trailers, and used available autos to haul the liquid to the evaporator. Girls in the. Home Economics class at school helped can and label the finished product, after it had been boiled down under adult supervision. An estimated 8,000 gallons of sap netted about 200 gallons of syrup that first year “In all. some 60 people had a finger in the syrup, so to speak.” wrote.Hinderliter of that initial season. "And dozens of mothers and wives waited meals for their sons and husbands who were gathering sap, and washed sap drenched clothing night after night.” Syrup sold for $2.50 a gallon in 1942. The project netted $250, most of which bought a new jungle gym for the school playground. Each succeeding year saw gradual improvement in Nashville’s syrup making project, as new equipment was acquired and skills perfected. In time, the committee set up operation at the old pump house in Putnam Park. In 1957, a new cement block sugar shanty was built, nearby. Because no wood to fire the evaporator could be readily found in 1966, the project was temporarily suspended. By the following season, gas jets had been installed on the evaporator and syrup making resumed. Now under the guidance of the Nashville Maple Syrup Association, the community project works essentially the same as it did in earlier years. Each season’s proceeds are divided among participating volunteer organizations, based on man-hours each donates to tasks of washing buckets, tapping trees, collecting sap, boiling and canning syrup, etc. Individual .volunteers not directly connected with any participating organization may designate their “wages” be credited to their favorite community group.

Anne Boughton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.. John Boughton of Nashville, is one of 19 Honors College students from throughout the USA who were recently selected to travel to Boone, North Carolina, to study Ap­ palachian culture at the Appalachian State University there. An Art Major at Western Michigan University, Anne received a special scholarship for a 4months study course. Accompanied by her father, she made the trip south by auto and is currently living on campus at ASU, which has an enrollment of approximately 12,000 students. While there, Anne will study the arts and crafts, music, religion and other cultural aspects of people living in Appalachia. The music lessons will also provide Anne with an opportunity to perfect her talents on a dulcimer. Boone is located in a very mountainous area which is sparsely populated but widely frequented by tourists, drawn by the beautiful scenery and homespun culture. A public plea of many months standing in this column was answered last week when we received several photos of the late Frank Russell in the mail. His niece, Mrs. Helen Dille of Kentwood, supplied us with various pictures we had sought to illustrate an up­ coming “Memories” feature on Frank, longtime Nash­ ville village engineer who was'sort of a legend around town. Marie Ayers of Nash­ ville is responsible for making the connection with Mrs. Dille, who is her cousin. The efforts of both these ladies is very much ap­ preciated. Helen’s parents were Will and Gladys (Russell) Woodard. Gladys was a sister to Frank, who died in 1952 at age 82. The “Memories” story on his life should appear within a week or two, thanks to the interest of Marie and Helen in our project. Mr. and Mrs. Maynard Tucker of Hastings were Sunday afternoon callers on Mr. and Mrs. Leonard (Veda) Shull of Nashville, and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Tarbet of Hastings were evening visitors at the Shull home.

The Youth Fellowship of the Nashville United Methodist Church will hold a roller skating party Sunday evening, March 9, at the Thornapple Rink. Time of the event is 6 to 8 p.m. Churches throughout the world will join in prayer on Friday, March 7, during the annual World Day of Prayer observance. Locally, community churches will gather at the Nashville Church of the Nazarene’for 7:30 p.m. services to mark the event. Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Wilson, missionaries to the Phillipines, will be at the Nashville Church of the Nazarene for special Friday evening services at 7 p.m. March 14. Their presentation will be preceded by a 5 p.m. potluck dinner for all in­ terested persons. Also in attendance will be the District Missionary President of the Church of the Nazarene, Mrs. Paul Moore of Mt. Pleasant. Adults of the Nashville Church of the Nazarene have planned a belated Valen­ tine’s Sweetheart Banquet for Saturday,-March 1, at the Sveden House in Lansing. Rev. Richard Wadsworth will deliver a message on marriage at the event, which starts at 5 p.m. Just for the record: In last week’s item on the death of Mrs. Hugh (Maude) Furniss, 90, a former Nashville resident who left here in 1965 for California, we failed to mention that Maude originally opened her Mi­ Lady Shop in what is now Irene’s Beauty Salon. Maude began selling apparel there in May 1941 but soon outgrew those quarters and relocated across the street in a building formerly occupied by John S. Greene, the tailor. That store was located on what is now the site occupied by the Hecker Agency. The Mi-Lady Shop carried everything in women’s wearing apparel, children’s and babies’ wear and many items of men’s clothing. Incidentally, in earlier years Maude had worked as a typesetter at the Nashville News pffice. After her marriage to Furniss, they lived in Hastings and for about five years before returning to Nashville had owned and operated a restaurant in Woodland. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Wayne (Sherry) Gould of Bivens Road on the birth of a daughter, February 16th. The new arrival weighed in at 8 lbs., 1 oz. and has been named Emilie Jane. The baby was welcomed home by her 3year-old sister, Leslie. Proud grandparents, all of Nash­ ville, are Mr. and Mrs. Gaylord Gould and Mrs. Mildred Latta. A Men’s Breakfast is planned for Sunday, March 2, at the Nashville United Methodist Church. At the time of this report, in­ formation on the program for the 7:30 a.m. event was not available. The United Methodist Women will meet at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, February 5, at the church. Several members of the local Church of the Nazarene are expected to attend a Spring Sunday School Banquet set for 7 p.m. Thursday, February 28, at the Plaza Hotel in Lansing. Churches of the Nazarene from throughout this area will participate. The speaker will be Dr. Don Gibson, district supervisor of the Eastern Michigan District for the Church of the Nazarene and former Director of Evangelism for the general church. Married couples of the Nashville Baptist Church are planning a winter sports excursion to Echo Valley near Kalamazoo on Satur­ day, March 1. This event is a rescheduling of one that had to be postponed earlier this year due to lack of snow. The group will depart from the church at noon and expect to be back in Nashville about 6 p.m. Plans include eating out before returning home. The Nashville Lions and their wives enjoyed a dinner meeting Monday evening at the United Meth6dist Church community house. Speaker for the event was Lions District Governor Jan Kasper of Clarksville. He told the Nashville Lions about the upcoming District and State Conventions of the organization. Spring Lake will be the scene of the District convention in April, and the State convention is set for Traverse City in May. Larry Corkwell and Leon Frith, employees of Nash­ ville’s Dept, ofPublic Works, were in Grand Rapids last Thursday and Friday to attend an inspectors training workshop in connection with the new sewer system. The seminar was sponsored by the Southern Michigan Public Works Forum. A family dinner to celebrate the wedding an­ niversary of Janice and Dennis Lamie of Nashville was enjoyed Sunday at the Red Lobster in Battle Creek. Present in addition to ■ the Dennis Lamies and their two daughters were his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Lamie, and his grandmother, Mrs. Caroline Jones, all of Nash­ ville. mbw Mrs. Bertha Becker of Nashville enjoyed a family gathering and dinner Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Roger Hardenburg and children at Eagle. Mrs. Hardenburg is a grand­ daughter to Mrs. Becker. The unexpected joy of seeing an American Bald Eagle perched near the road as they entered Port Clinton, Ohio, recently was a thrill for Mrs. Viola Beystrum of Nashville and her sister, Mrs. Ednah McConnelll of Battle Creek. The ladies were enroute for a 5-day visit with Viola’s son, Robert Beystrum. Although he has lived for three years at Port Clinton, where there are numerous wildlife preser­ ves, Robert has never spotted an eagle, so the AWAY NASHVILLE HARDWARE 105 N. MAIN ST. PH: 852*0713 ladies thought their sighting was exceptionally fortunate. In addition, they saw several flocks of approximately 500 geese each during their stay in Ohio. The only puzzling part, Mrs. Beystrum reports, is that the geese were winging south. Port Clinton is on the shore of Lake Erie, where there was a good deal of ice fishing underway at the time of their visit. Since returning to Michigan, Mrs. Ednah McConnell has been taken ill and, at this writing, was confined to her home in Battle Creek. We wish her a speedy recovery. For purposes of research for our “Memories” series, Mrs. Marguerite Wilson of Nashville recently loaned us a box filled with bits of local memorabilia. Among the various interesting “treasures” was an item we thought would be of interest to many readers. It was a statement issued August 12, 1918 by Dr. W. A. Vance, longtime Nashville dentist who had offices in the upper floor of the Gribben block. The billing covered a period from June 24 to July 29, and apparently reflected four visits by the patient. The prices were exceedingly reasonable, by today’s standards. Four extractions, with gas, totaled only $3.50; eight silver fillings were only $4.25; and one enamel filling cost $1.25. The patient had one lower molar treated and filled for $2.75' The total. 2­ month bill included $8 for a plate, but did not specify if it was partial or full.

Wednesday, February 27, 1980 — Page 4 Nashville was dubbed “Forest City” by the first white settlers to arrive in the area in the mid-1850’s. “At that time there was no clear land south of the river where the main portion of the town is now located,” wrote E. J. Feighner in a remembrance of the early days published in the Nash­ ville News on December 18, 1903. As a lad, Feighner had absorbed the sights and sounds of the untamed area. His family, the Henry Feighners, had come to Nashville in 1854, when there was only one log house here and the village not yet named. The Feighners built the first frame dwelling in town as well as erecting and opening the first blacksmith shop in the settlement. “It seems but yesterday that where the village now stands was a vast wilderness and wild animals of many kinds cherished favorite haunts where now stands the buildings of the village,” .wrote Feighner. “I remember that before the village of Nashville was settled and before the road was surveyed through here, we used to call the place Forest City.” He recalled that there was a nice pinery of about three acres on the south bank of the river. The white families settled on the north bank of the river, and lived in peaceful co-existence with the In­ dians. When the Feigner family built their frame house in 1854 they had few white neighbors. “At the time, there was a log house near' where the pump house is now and a saw mill on the north side of the river, the mill being built before we came and the log house occupied by Charles Hanchett,” remember Feighner. “These were all the buildings in the place at that time.” Charles Hanchett and his family were the Feighner’s only neighbors, except for the natives. “I well remember that year of seeing - quite a number of Indians passing our house, some riding ponies and some on foot,” reminisced Feighner. “It was a strange sight to our folks who had never seen an Indian before.” About that time there was an Indian shanty on the bank of the river, occupied by an Indian named John Bull and his squaw. Feighner recalled that his mother and Mrs. Hanchett had been there together and had dinner with the Indians in their shanty. Nature provided a bountiful fare in 1854. “When we first came here, fish were very plentiful,” wrote Feighner. “I have speared 75 pickerel in a day near the dam, and have seen the Indians in their canoes below the dam spearing fish.” Feighner said the Indians never speared from the river banks, but always from their canoes, and generally went for the largest fish. And wildlife was plentiful. Feighner recalled seeing a flock of 200 wild turkeys at one time. And deer were everywhere. “About that time, we frequently saw Charles Hanchett get into his boat at night and, with a light made of well-dried pine, sail down the river below the dam to shoot deer, as they always went into the water in the summer to keep of mosquitoes, wrote VILLAGE ELECTION To the Qualified Electors: NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, That an Annual Village Election will be held in the Village of Vermontville (Precinct No. 1) State of Michigan — AT — VERMONTVILLE OPERA HOUSE within said Village on Monday, March 10th, 1980 FOR THE PURPOSE OF VOTING FOR THE ELECTION OF THE FOLLOWING OFFICERS, VIZ, One Village President One Village Clerk One Village Treasurer One Village Assessor Three Trustees — Full Term Notice Relative to Opening and Closing of the Polls ELECTION LAW, ACT 116,T. A. 1954 SECTION 720. On the day of any election, the polls shall be opened at 7 o'clock in the forenoon, and shall be continuously open until 8 o'clock in the afternoon and no longer.

When Feighner s family built the first frame dwelling in Nashville in 1854, their nearest neighbor lived in a log cabin where the pump house (in photo) now sits. That 1891 waterworks building, the standpipe in Putnam Park, and the 1899 iron river bridge would have amazed early pioneers who settled nearby in mid-1850's. Feighner. “And' he generally got a deer when he went.” The pesky insects that drove the animals to water also plagued humans. “I well remember what a time we had those days trying to smudge out the mosquitoes and how we finally got relief as soon as we could make hay and put it in our log barn and there sleep on the hay, as the mosquitoes did not like the hay and would not trouble us,” explained Feighner. “We knew nothing about netting those days.” In the fall, the settlers would gather beechnuts for use as fodder. “We removed the leaves and got them almost a handful at a time,” wrote Feighner, “and hogs would live all winter on the beechnuts and acorns — sometimes called shack.” Occasionally, the settlers would kill wild hogs and eat them, as the animals were very plentiful in those days, but Feighner said he never liked the meat as it was rather oily from the hog eating beechnuts. “Sometimes the neighbors would catch a wild hog and try to fatten it on corn, but never made a success of it, as they were too wild to fatten well,” observed Feighner. Nashville’s early settlers endured hardships in bat­ tling the elements, especially in bitter winters. “We don’t have any snow now like we had in an early day when the country was about all woods,” observed Feighner in 1903. “I have seen snow fall on the 1st day of November and stay till the 4th day of April and was most of the time between two and three feet deep on the level.” Nearly a dozen years after the Feighners arrived, Nashville was officially titled* - named after Garaudus Nash, chief engineer for the Grand River Valley Railroad, who promised in 1865 to survey the village, in return for the honor. However, when Nash returned to the area in the Spring of ’66, he found scarcely a dozen families living in the village and reportedly: left in disgust. But GRVRR lines were built through this section and real estate values began to jump. When the first train off cars arrived in Nashville on December 29, 1869, the village boasted several hundred inhabitants. A crude wooden bridge crossed the Thornapple in Nashville's early days. Located considerably downstream from the present span, it ran in a northwesterly direction, roughly parallel with a primitive sand-and-brush dam, and led to the village's first white settlement on the north bank of the river.* On the far west side of the stream can be seen Elder Holler's first grist mill, where stones ground wheat into flour. He later relocated on east side of Thornapple. The first birth recorded in Nashville had been that of Hattie Gregg in 1865. In early 1866, Dr. J. H. Palmer, Nashville’s first physician arrived in town. That year also brought several other “firsts” to the village. Nashville’s first public school was erected in 1866 in a wooded area just west of Main Street - a crude log structure in which to educate 13 students that first year. In 1866, the first religious services in Nashville were held in a half-built grist mill, conducted by J. H. Richards, a Methodist preacher from Kalamo. The first political meeting in Nashville was held that same year in John Webster’s blacksmith shop. And in 1866, Jacob Lentz, a French-born cabinetmaker and Civil War veteran, arrived in town. He would soon found the Lentz Table Company, and from humble Continued next page— VOTE March 10th for BILL L. MASON For Position of VERMONTVILLE VILLAGE PRESIDENT YOUR VOTE WILL BE APPRECIATED!

Feighner’s writings would also recall a village “first”: the first Nashville village election, held April 7, 1869. Lemuel Smith became the first village president; L. E. Stauffer, who had established himself as Nash­ ville’s first merchant by building a general store on the northeast corner of what is now the Reed and Main Street intersection, was elected village recorder; Hiram Coe, a New York state native who settled in Nashville in 1865, was chosen as village treasurer. Trustees named in the first village election were: 0. A. Phillips, H. T. Davidson, Henry P. Ralston, Myron Pennock and Elder Philip Holler, an Advent minister from Buchanan and Indiana native, who had arrived in Nashville in 1868 and pur­ chased a grist mill on the west side of the Thornapple. (Holler moved his operation to the east side of the river in 1881, to a location that is commonly remembered as the old grist mill). For all your INSURANCE NEEDS See or Call...

Emanual J. Feighner, the pioneer lad of 1854, grew up to become proprietor of a Nashville photographic studio and, later, a suc­ cessful real estate broker. For many years, he also served as justice of the peace. E. J. married Drusilla Beigh, daughter of another local pioneer family. Although he did not write about it, E. J. must have witnessed Nashville’s greatest building boom that took place in the summer of 1870, when 75 structures were erected in the village between April and October. It must have made an impact on the young man as he looked back. Only 16 years earlier, the Feighner family had arrived and built the first frame dwelling in “Forest City.” How swiftly Nashville grew!

Wednesday, February 27, 1980 — Page 6 at your service Kelley’s Variety Store 25 years young By Susan Hinckley Kelley’s Variety Store is the oldest "same owner” retail business in Nashville, but owner Max Kelley describes his store as "25 years young.” “We still have young ideas,” said Kelley, who with his wife, Ethelyn, purchased the variety store on Nash­ ville’s Main Street in Oc­ tober 1955 from John and Catherine Beedle. The store was originally opened here in 1930 as one of a small chain of six Beedle Bros. 5 cents to $1 stores owned by Robert and John Beedle. The Kelleys have greatly ex­ panded the Beedle operation that was situated in what is now the north portion of the store. They bought the building in 1961. History abounds in the structure that houses Kelley’s Variety Store. Oldtimers will recall that in Nashville’s early days, the building housed a dry goods, ready-to-wear and grocery business owned first by Henry C. Glasner and later by Herman A. Maurer, who bought the store in 1909. That building dates back to 1873. When the Kelleys ex­ panded in 1974, they nearly doubled floor space in their store by taking over an adjacent building to the south, which was once the home of O.G. Munroe’s clothing store and in 1919 became a longtime con­ fectionary first owned by Charles Diamante. Several remodeling projects by the Kelleys have updated the store facade and interior furnishings - the latest effort being the 1979 installation of a new north wall. Kelley’s carries a wide line of variety items that makes life easier and more fun. In addition to miscellaneous merchandise, they have a complete family shoe department, a nice assort­ ment of family clothing, an outstanding baby gift department, and a wide selection of home sewing needs. “We will continue to offer everyday needs to the community at popular prices, in a thoroughly modern store,” commented owner Max Kelley in forecasting 1980’s plans. “With the high cost of gasoline, it is even more important than ever to fill more of our basic needs close to home.” Kelley started in the variety business in 1949 as a partner with his father in a store at Vandercook Lake, a Jackson suburb. Later, he Bushre Plumbing RESIDENTIAL REPAIR INSTALLATION • REMODELING NEW CONSTRUCTION SEWER AND DRAIN WORK Col/...CARL BUSHRE — LICENSED MASTER PLUMBER — 517-726-0036 owned Kelley’s Variety Store in Kalamazoo for two years before coming to Nashville. In December 1978, Kelley and his wife purchased the former D. & C. Variety Store in downtown Ionia, and continue to operate that business in addition to their local store. . In Nashville, the Kelleys are assisted by store em­ ployees, Alberta Gardner, Doris Marshall, Marjorie Shilton and Patricia Dies. Since Kelley has been in the community, he has served two separate terms as president of the local Chamber of Commerce and was a trustee on the Nash­ ville Village Council from 1960-64. The Kelleys now reside at Middle Lake, near Hastings. They have one daughter, Kathy, a graduate of MVHS and MSU who is now em­ ployed in Chicago in the field of advertising. Shoppers always find srpiling faces and personal service at Kelley s Variety Store in Nashville.

Starting with General Motors in 1949 in the crankshaft division, he later transfered to electrical division skilled trades in 1953. A native of Salem Missouri, Phil moved to Michigan in 1944 residing in the Lansing area until he enlisted in the Army Air Force in 1946, stationed in Anchorage Alaska where he later married Peggy Buck from Holt, Michigan. Phil and his family lived in the Mason area until 1956 when they moved to Ver­ montville.

Taken from a 1956 photo, the early scene shows Kelley's bounded on the south by a confectionary into which they expanded in 1974 to nearly double floor space. The later sketch also shows the new store front installed in 1965 and extended in the expansion project.

According to Allen Krizek, Eaton County* Extension director, the monetary value of manure has more than doubled in the last five years, just as fertilizer prices have doubled. The exact dollar value for manure is difficult to assess because the nutrient com­ position of manure varies widely depending upon the type of livestock, kind offeed used, and how the manure is handled. However, as a rough guide, solid manure from beef, dairy and swine operations should be con­ sidered woth $5-$10 per ton at today’s fertilizer prices, whereas, liquid manure should be valued at between True-life story of former Nazi prisoner showing at Assembly of God Church March 1 Selected to receive citizenship awards at Fuller Street School this week were (from left) Heather Pontius, Greg Shoup, David Nickel, and Ryan Rosin. Heather Pontius, Greg Shoup, David Nickle and Ryan Rosin were named for citizenship awards at Fuller Street School this week, while at Kellogg School the honors went to Renee Terpening and Kiven Geary. Heather Pontius, 9, is a fourth grader at Fuller Street School in Mrs. Han­ sen’s room. She is the daughter of Helen Pontius of 410 Durkee St., Nashville. Riding her bike, making potholders and swimming are Heather’s favorite ac­ tivities. Music, library and art are other special in­ terests. Heather’s favorite sub­ jects in school include Math, English and Reading. Greg Shoup is a third grader in Mrs. Pam Hunt’s room at Fuller Street School.

He is in Mrs. Vander The true-life story of Corrie ten Boom, a former Nazi prisoner, will be presented through the motion picture, THE HIDING PLACE on March 1st and 2nd at 7 p.m. at the Nashville Assembly of God. This remarkable story of tragedy and victory shares the experiences of a family who was willing to risk all for others. The ten Booms became involved in the Dutch Underground during the German occupation of World War II by hiding Jews in a secret room built in their house, thereby aiding them in their escape from the Nazis. As a result of a raid by soldiers, Corrie’s family was taken prisoner and Corrie was sent to the dreaded concentration camp, “Ravensbruck.” THE HIDING PLACE portrays the de-humanizing agonies of a concentration camp... the personal con­ fusion and conflicts of both victors and vanquished... the Confrontation of military might and gently ministry... and the costs of caring for others. $10-$20 per 1000 gallons. How should manure be used? Research at Michigan State University suggest applying enough manure to meet phosphorus and potassium requirements of the crop to be grown and then supplement with commercial nitrogen fer­ tilizer. A soil testis needed to determine phosphorus and potassium requirements. The best time to apply manure is probably in the fait when it can be worked into the soil. Applications on frozen and snow-covered ground should be at reduced rates only, and then only on level land. Spring ap­ plications may be effectively utilized if they can be disced or plowed under shortly after application. Care should be taken to avoid soil com­ paction by spreading on soil which is too wet in the spring.

Long lines are expected. Deadline for passenger car license tabs is March 31. MORE POINTS - Both houses have now agreed to a final version of SB 471, under which a driver convicted of going over 60 mph in a former 65-70 zone will receive one point on his-her driving record. This will take effect April 1,1981. AUTO LOANS -Now is the Senate is HB 5143, which would allow the interest ceiling on car-purchase loans to rise by some 3 percent but only until next spring. This is in response to the current tight money supply and increased interest rates. TAX PROPOSAL - Recently introduced in the House is HJR “Z”, which would ask state voters to amend our constitution so that property taxes on the first 26 mills assessed by school districts would be eliminated. It is estimated this would cut property taxes by about $800 million; some $450 million of that would be made up through a 1-percent sales tax increase. DEPARTMENT CHANGES - Governor Milliken is for­ mulating a plan to reorganize the Departments of Commerce and of Licensing and Regulation so that Commerce would be focused on energy regulation, community development and economic development; while Licensing Auto Service CENTER and Regulation would be the basic agency for consumer protection and occupational regulation. BUSINESS DAY - The House Consumers Committee is now considering SB 703, which defines the non-business days on which home solicitations for goods or services valued at more than $25 are prohibited: New Year’s Day; Martin Luther King’s Birthday; Washington’s Birthday; Memorial Day; 4th of July; Labor Day; Columbus Day; Veterans’ Day; Thanksgiving; and Christmas. FAMILY COUNSELING - The Governor has signed into law HB 4619, which requires circuit - court jurisdictions with more than 1,000 divorces a year to provide family­ counseling services which would include counseling on domestic violence and child abuse. SEXUAL HARASSMENT - The House will soon vote on HB 4407, which defines and prohibits sexual harassment in employment and in education institutions: unsolicited physical or verbal contact which has a sexual nature or is demeaning or is otherwise inappropriate. GETTING OUT - Both houses have now approved HB 4364, which would provide to people who are discharged or paroled from prison a loan of up to $120 to help them get started back in society. It would have to be repaid within 180 days. The present loan limit is $40. BARRY COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE CALENDAR of EVENTS February 26 - 4-H Regional Animal Science.

(Maple Valley News photo) Sports Varsity basketball now 7-10 The Maple Valley varsity basketball team brought its team record to the 7-10 mark last week by suffering defeat at Central Montcalm, 58-73, on Tuesday and winning on Friday, 61-55, against Carson City. Both contests were with league foes. Valley’s game at Central was a see-saw battle. Central led 12-14 at the end of the first quarter, but trailed Valley 30-27 by the half. The Hornets managed to overcome the half-time deficit in the third quarter and began the final period leading Valley once again 49­ 46. The fourth quarter proved disasterous for the visiting Lions. Trailing by three points, the Lions missed on a one-and-one attempt that Central rebounded and turned into two points. The Lions fouled in the process and the made free throw put the hosts up by six. The next trip down the floor was unproductive for Valley and the rebound was converted into a basket for Central. Valley was unable to regroup while the Hornets continued to gain momentum. The final score - Central 73, MV 58. John Kent and Pat Kersjes each scored 14 points, Jeff Mead and Don Fox, 8 each; Todd Gearhart, 4; Terry Pierce, 1; Tony Joostberns, 9. Roger Drake, Glenn Godbey, and R.D. Puffpaff also saw action for MV. Earlier in the season, Valley scored 61 against Carson City and lost 61-65. But on Friday, 61 points was more than enough to defeat the visiting Eagles. The Lions allowed their op­ ponents only 55 points to grab the victory. The first half began sluggishly as neither team could take full command. Carson’s Shawn O'Grady poured in 11 points in the second quarter to give his team a 22-21 half-time ad­ vantage. The lead continued to change hands in the third quarter, with the Eagles taking a 39-35 lead into the final period. Then senior co-captain, Jeff Mead, began to spark the attack offensively for the Lions, scoring 12 of his career high 23 points in the final period. While Valley scored 26 points in the final quarter, the defense allowed only 16 for Carson City. Todd Gearhart, Terry Pierce, Pat Kersjes, and John Kent teamed with Mead to put Valley ahead by 10, 43-53, with 3:52 remaining to be played.

Terry Pierce and Maple Valley’s Varsity basketball team added two to the losing column last week by suffering defeat at Lakewood, 77-45, on Tuesday and again at Saranac, 56-67, on Friday. Powerful Lakewood jumped out to a big lead in the first quarter, 27-6, and Valley never came close after that. Scoring for the Lions were John Kent, 12; Pat Kersjes, 4; Aaron Snider, 13; Jeff Mead, 6; Terry Pierce, 2; ' Todd Gearhart, 6; Don Fox, 2. League leading Saranac hosted the Lions on Friday. Redskin Ben Tower spent most of the time scoring from the free-throw line as he poured in 7 of his team’s 13 first quarter points from there. Of his game total 23 points, 13 were from the charity stf-ipe. Despite early foul trouble, however, the Lions con­ tinued to play aggressive defense.

Victory number J0 comes hard forM.V. volleyballers— The J.V. volleyball team broke their 3 game losing streak by defeating a tough Portland squad. The J.V.’s had 3 previous consecutive loses to Carson City, 7-15,15­ 11, 6-15; to Lakeview, 3-15, 15-10, 9-15; and to Saranac, 13-15,15-13,13-15. Coach Tait attributes some of the problems to sickness and weakness of team coor­ dination and defense. The J.V.’s were glad to come home after 6 con­ secutive road games and meet Portland.

The class will meet on four consecutive Saturday mornings, beginning Mar. 8. Barbara Warner, of Delton, will be teaching this introductory class. Participants will use the Park’s spinning wheels, so you do not need to own a wheel to sign-up: The class will cover the basic steps and prin­ cipals of spinning wool and will introduce you to sources of supplies and materials. Charlton Park is also of­ fering a class in woodcut printing. Learn the techniques of wood carving necessary for making fine relief prints. This old printing method was one of the first printing methods ever used and can be applied in many ways - such as printing your own per­ sonalized holiday and note cards. Diana Hard, a woodcut artist from Spring Arbor College, will be the class instructor. The class meets Saturday mornings from 9:30 a.m. to noon, March 8 through March 29 (four class sessions total). On March 22, the Museum is offering two workshops. From 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. the Bristol Inn kitchen will come to life for a Wood-Stove Cooking Workshop. The participants will learn how to build a proper fire, then Joyce McKelvey will teach everyone how to make old fashioned bread, rolls, and a ^‘Pioneer Stew”. All will get to share the stew for lunch, market tips meU by Maryann Beckman Consumer Marketing Information Agent V COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE Shoppers who want to “sharpen their shopping skills” learn to use all the “helpers” available to them in retail stores. One such help is unit pricing, says Maryann Beckman, Food Marketing Agent. Studies by marketing analysts have shown that the typical shopper spends one minute for each selection at the supermarket. In the past, if they wanted to compare costs, in order to judge value on price alone, they had to do some fast arithmetic, carry a calculator of have a Ph.D.. in math and ’twas no simple task. Since the early 1970’s, unit pricing information has been available at store level, to help make those com­ parisons easier. Because a number of consumers are still unaware of the information and how to best use it, a quick review is in order. Though unit pricing information is still not available in all stores, it’s more likely found in larger and-or chain stores than in small independent stores. Due to the cost and time involved and without access to a computer, it’s prac­ tically impossible to “unit price” the 10 to 12 thousand items in each store. What is unit pricing? Unit pricing is a tool to help you see, exactly what you’re paying for one unit (amount) J of a product. It takes the guesswork out of comparing a 1314 ounce package with a 15% ounce product. Prices are broken down on a per ounce, per pound, per square inch, per count or whatever the base unit may be. All like or comparable items are prices by the same unit of measure, whether pint, quart, ounce, pound, etc. The unit price information usually appears on the shelf tag directly beneath the product, that also identifies the product plus total price. The other information that appears on the shelf tag sticker is usually the warehouse inventory code for store ordering purposes. Use the information when you want to compare prices between brands, sizes, etc., but know, too, what you’re comparing. In one price check of five different brands of instant-type coffee in the same size container, it was found that Mellow Roast cost $9.52 per pound; Taster’s Choice, $12.40 per pound; Maxwell House, $8.96 per pound; Eight O’clock, $8.16 per pound and Nescafe, $9.52 per pound. Though all are similar, not all five are the same product, so can’t be compared exactly. The first product is a combination coffee and grain product and the second is a freeze-dried (more costly process) plus everyone will have a loaf of bread to take home. The workshop will be all hands-on with lots of ideas, so bring an apron and a notebook. From 1 to 4 p.m. on March 22, a special workshop for children is offered - Pioneer Toys and Games. The youngsters will make jump ropes, a ring-toss game, and moon-buzzers, plus learn the old Indian game called double-ball. Stephen Borton is teaching this workshop, which, is open to all children between seven and 11 years of age. For more information on the classes and workshops call Charlton Park Village & Museum at 945-3775. Class participants must sign up by March 3. Workshop par­ ticipants should sign up by March 10. Enrollment will be limited, so register soon. product. Only the last three are regular instant coffees. If you’re looking for the least expensive product, the choice is obvious. On the ’other hand, if you have a favorite brand among those listed, unit pricing in­ formation tells you how much more (or less) you’re paying for your choice. It may be worth it to you to pay a few cents more for your favorite brand, but at least you can quickly tell exactly how much more you’re paying. If you decide you’d rather save money and the brand you’re currently buying is not all that im­ portant, you can switch brands and save. Many consumers use unit pricing information primarily to determine the best value between the various sizes of a particular brand. Using spaghetti as an example, the price of one national brand in three sizes showed that the 8 ounce package cost 62 cents per pound, the 16 ounce (one pound) package cost 57 cents per pound and the three pound cost 47 cents per pound. The least expensive choice is again obvious, but can you use that much if your family is small? Sure you can, for spaghetti will keep “almost forever”. But what if your clipboard space is limited too? Divide and repackage the large size into smaller units and store the extra amount under the bed or in some other spot in the house. The spaghetti doesn’t care! . In addition to the three sizes of the national brand listed above, the store not suited to their operations, says Roy Emery, MSU dairy specialist and chairperson of the program. A farmer with a small operation is probably wasting money on a fast, expensive feeding system, though such a system might be economical on a large farm. He also stressed that as feeds become more ex­ pensive, it may pay' for farmers to improve storage facilities in order to reduce waste. Topics to be covered during the morning session include options for in­ creasing overall profit, ef­ ficient harvesting and storage alternatives, reducing feed expenses, an economic comparison of alfalfa to corn silage, and the costs of a fixed vs. a mobile feeding system. The afternoon session will focus on using forage to maintain a desirable fat level’in milk and avoiding metabolic disorders through careful feeding. A panel discussion between the day’s speakers and the audience will conclude the program.

Why as comparing prices, then the difference? The higher becomes vitally important. height. Flore suggests that spring is the best time to plant young fruit trees. Planting at the beginning of the growing season gives them the entire summer to get established before they have to endure the stresses of winter, he explains. Getting your trees through the first summer - and every summer after that -­ requires regular watering during dry weather, as well as insect and disease control. “Insects and diseases don’t take weekends off,” Flore points out. “If you miss one timely spray while the fruit is on the tree, the crop can be severely damaged. ” If you don’t have the time or the inclination to prune, spray, water and fertilize your trees to get them established and keep them healthy, you probably will not be very happy with what you get from them, Flore suggests. “Growing high quality tree fruit takes some effort,” he says. “When fruit is on the tree, insect control is especially critical. Trees must be protected in winter, too, against gnawing rodents and winter injury. They must be pruned annually, also. Growing tree fruit is not for the lazy person.” It’s not for the impatient one, either. Though dwarf apple trees may begin to bear the next year after planting, they should not be allowed to mature fruit until the second or third year. Removing the fruits the first couple of years allows the trees to put all their energy into developing strong roots and main branches to sup­ port later crops, Flore says. If you plant standard-sized trees, be prepared to wait for 4 to 10 years for them to begin to bear. The stone fruits are not quite so slow. You generally get some fruit in the second and third years after planting. Whether the rewards are worth the work is a decision only you can make, of course. But if you do decide to go ahead, order your trees early, Flore advises. That way you’ll have a better chance of getting exactly what you want and getting it early. Plant as soon as possible after trees arrive, in late April or early May, he suggests. Early planting gives trees a chance to get adjusted before they have to contend with hot, dry summer weather and plenty of time to get settled in for winter. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, February 27, 1980 — Page 14 Energy Conservation and you! It is common to find large openings where pipes, ducts, or exhaust fans are cut through the attic floor. But thev can be stuffed-filled with foil-backed insulation or scrap plastic such as dry cleaner bags taped in place. Another major attic bypass is the gap where the furnace stack or chimney meets the t wood framing of the house. Fireproof insulation can be stuffed between the wood frame and the wall of the chimney. Do not use cellulose here, as it may burn. Stopping attic “bypasses” can save from $25 to $80 a year in heating costs. Do not cover light fixtures directly with insulation which may cause a fire. Also, the vents must be able to “breathe” to prevent moisture accumulation in the attic. Many people forget the attic door after they have carefully applied insulation to the rest of the attic. This measure alone can save $20 ifyou have electric heat, $8 for gas heat, and $12 for oil heat. It will save on air conditioning costs. (7) More Holes In Your Pocket. When'people think of caulking and weatherstripping, they generally think of windows and doors. But mostenergy studies find thatonly 20 percent of that costly infiltration comes through these places. The other 80 percent gets in underneath the baseboards, through wall outlets, through holes where plumbing pipes and telephone wires enter the house, through holes around exhaust fans, around dryer vents, and around sink and bathtub drain pipes as they exit from the house. These gaps and holes should all be caulked or stuffed with insulation. The electrical outlets can be sealed with inexpensive gaskets that can be purchased at hardware stores. Turn off the electrical current switch for the outlets in question, remove the plastic cover plates with a screwdriver, insert the gaskets, reattach the plates, and turn the current back on; (8) Don’t Duck The Duckwork.

No. 41 — Wednesday, March 5, 1980 Vermontville village election is March 10 Voters in the village of Vermontville will go to the polls Monday, March 10 to elect a village president, cleric, treasurer, and three trustees to serve on the council.' Voting will take place in the village Opera House from 7 a.m. — 8 p.m. The only contests will be in races for president and the three trusteeships. For the office of president, the name of Douglas Wells is the only name that will appear on the ballot. However, Bill Mason has declared himself a write-in candidate for the post. Vernon Trowbridge who has served as village president for 12 years is not seeking reelection. Douglas Wells, a Republican, is making his .first bid for public office in seeking the village presidency. He resides at 135 W. First Street. He and his wife, Juanita, have four children and one grandson. The Wells’ children are David, 19; Mrs. Diana Covert, 18; Dawn, 17; and Denise, 14. Wells is a native of Ver­ montville, the son of Ralph and Vera Wells. He is a graduate of Vermontville High School Class of 1958 and has spent most of his life in Fire destroys Hobert residence The Gordon Hobert family was left homeless when a Friday evening fire gutted their house on Wellman Road, northwest of Nashville. The blaze at the residence, located just north of the Stoney Point Free Methodist Church, was reported shortly after 6 p.m. The Hobert family escaped unharmed after discovering the upper floor of their house aflame. They fled safely from the dwelling, end were later able to salvage only some clothing and l^edroom furniture after the fire was extinguished. Most of the household goods were lost. Nashville firefighters battled the blaze for more than four hourjs, assisted by both the Hastings and Woodland Fire Depts. At about 11:30 p.m., flames rekindled and the Nashville firemen were recalled to the scene and remained there until past 1 a.m. the village. He served four years in the Navy. Presently, Wells - is em­ ployed at Oldsmobile in Lansing. He also worked for a company in Charlotte for ten years. Wells is currently first vice president of the Ver­ montville Lions Club. He also has served as a trustee on that organization’s board and held the position of secretary for two terms. He was also instrumental in forming the local snowmobile club. Wells said he decided to become a candidate because he has the time to spare to devote to the post of village president, and feels he can handle the related duties for the village, if elected. Goals he would like to help Vermontville achieve are to obtain a doctor for the town and attract more business. However, he acknowledges that “these are difficult to get in a small town.” But, he is willing to try to pursue those goals if there is a chance. “Vermontville will probably remain small all of its life, but there is still room for some improvements. He believes efficiency and organization are keys to being prepared to minimize any emergency or problem that should arise. One example, he comments, is that a more efficient blueprint of the water system should be available. When a problem developed recently, it took valuable Vermontville plans retirement dinner for Ernie Dies The Vermontville Chamber of Commerce and Village Council will host a retirement party March 22 to honor Ernest Dies for his 14 years of dedicated service as maintenance man for the town. The entire community is invited to share in the occasion by attending the potluck dinner party which will be held at 7 p.m. in the fire barn. Bring a dish to pass and your own table service. time to discover “where the shut-offs were.” He also mentions, that the problems at the landfill need a solution. “Maybe we can’t do anything, but we have to hash out all of the alter- natives.” According to Wells, because of new state regulations, between $15­ 20,000 would have to be spent just to attain a Class 3 dump Cont. page 10 — (Maple Valley Hews photo by Susan Hinckley) Interest grows for Vermontville riends of the Library' club — Librarian Ingrid Northrup (left), Irene Hadden, library board member; and Sally Martin discuss plans to form a "Friends of the Library" organization in Vermontville. Interested groups or persons are invited to call the library or Sally for details. When Sally Martin wanted to join the Vermontville “Friends of the Library” organization, she discovered that such a group didn’t exist in the village. That didn’t deter her interest in the local library, however. After talking with the librarian, Ingrid Northrup, and other library personnel, Sally learned that a “Friends of the Library” organization would be most welcome in Vermontville. Because such a service group could be of great assistance to the library, Sally has decided to spearhead a campaign to recruit interested persons and groups to determine if a Friends of the Library group can be formed in Ver­ montville. Such a group would be service-oriented rather than a fund raising organization, explains Mrs Northrup. “The library is fairly sound financially because the village voted millage’to support, the library for the next 20 years. But, we' do need help with other things,” she said. Since there is only one person on duty at the library, members of a “Friends of the Library” group could be very helpful in performing a variety of services to benefit the library. Duties prospective members could perform include helping with the the summer story hour program, sponsored by the Women’s Club; coordinating publicity to promote the library and its varied* of­ ferings; lending a hand with some of the cleaning duties; making posters for up­ coming events; decorating bulletin boards, sewing curtains for the children’s room; and a host of other activities. As a member of the Capital Cooperative, based in Mason, the library in Vermontville now has the dimensions of a large library, notes Mrs. Nor­ thrup. “All of their materials are free for borrowing.” Libraries in Ingham and Jackson counties comprise the cooperative. In addition, the library has recently acquired a projector. Films may be obtained for library use without cost, so Mrs. Nor­ thrup feels that with volunteer help, these ser­ vices can benefit the com­ munity. The shows would be offered without charge so services to assist at the events would have to be donated. The local library has a circulation of more than 1,000 books per month. Toys, games, puzzles, and records also are available for loan. Persons or groups who are interested in forming a "Friends of the Library" organization in Vermontville are. urged to call Sally­ Martin at 726-1254 or the library. 726-1362. �TheMaple Volley News. Nashville. Wednesday. March 5. 1980 — Page 2 Nashville News In an attempt to arrest the distressing flu-like illness that has spread like wildfire through our community, Maple Valley Schools were again closed last Thursday and Friday to give those not yet afflicted a brief reprieve. Last week’s closing followed on the heelsofa February 18­ 19 shutdown for the same purpose. At that time, Maple Valley was among the first schools in the area to take action against the contagion which involves flu symptoms of unusual severity, plus related diseases and com­ plications. High absenteeism prompted the initial closing and other schools in our area soon followed suit. Let’s hope the respite is effective against the deadly bug! Nashville residents will again go to the polls next Monday - this time for the village’s March 10 General Election. On February 18, Nashville folks voted in the village Primary to narrow the field of Republican candidates seeking the office of president and three trustee seats on the village council. The posts of village clerk, treasurer, and assessor are also on the ballot, but unopposed. All candidates in the race are seeking 2-year terms. Rev. Allen Rice III of Lansing, executive director of the Michigan Council on Alcholic Problems (MICAP), will be at the Nashville United Methodist Church on Sunday, March 16, to deliver an address during the 9:45 a.m. worship ser­ vice. Rev. Rice will also be present for a 7:30 a.m. breakfast with the congregation at the Com­ munity House. Golden Agers of the Nash- ville United Methodist Church will gather at the Community House, March 14, for a noon potluck dinner. In preparation for the April 9th appearance of Rep. Donald H. Gilmer (R-55th District) at the Nashville Chamber of Commerce dinner meeting, the organization is seeking some insight to interests of the local people who will be attending the event. Questions or subject topics may be given to Charles Andrus, Jr., Chamber President, who will forward the information to Gilmer to allow the legislator to do any necessary research before his appearance here. If you have special areas of con­ cern that you would like to see discussed, please contact Andrus directly or at the upcoming March 12th dinner meeting of the Chamber, set for 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Steak House Restaurant in Nashville. With advance dinner reservations, the public is welcome to attend the Gilmer event, April 9. Also on the agenda for Wednesday’s meeting of the Chamber, March 12, is ex­ pected to be a report from a committee recently ap­ pointed by Andrus to plan the Chamber’s participation in Nashville’s upcoming September 19-20 Harvest Festival. The celebration is being sponsored by the Riverside Recreational Development Corp. Mem­ bers of the Chamber’s Harvest Festival committee are: Dave Mace, Stewart Southworth, George Hermenitt, Ardyce Jordan and Eloise Wheeler. At this writing, both Mr. and Mrs. George Vogt were patients at Pennock Hospital in Hastings. He was adrfii tted on the 20th, suffering from what appeared to be extreme exhaustion. It has since been determined that George suffered a slight heart attack and will be confined probably another week. Pat Vogt was taken to Pennock by ambulance Thursday morning and admitted, after, being taken ill at home. Sunday afternoon callers on Mr. and Mrs. Leonard (Veda) Shull of Nashville were Mr. and Mrs. Tom Wensko of Algonquin Lake, near Hastings, and Mrs. Evangie Miller of Lacey. Miss Lisa Guy of Battle Creek, a granddaughter to Veda, was also a weekend visitor at the Shull home. Many greetings, flowers, gifts and goodies made the recent celebration of the 90th birthday of Mrs. Nellie Moon of Nashville a happy event that lasted the whole week long. February 15th was the special day, but friends and relatives of Mrs. Moon remembered her throughout the week. Saturday, her niece, Mrs. Dorothy York of Portland, visited Mrs. Moon, and brought along a beautiful birthday cake. Accompanying Mrs. Yoric was her daughter, Mrs. Denise.. Ingraham, also of Portland. Clarence Reid of Nashville is reported to be feeling much improved but, at the. time of this report, was still confined to Leila Hospital in Battle Creek where he had earlier undergone hip surgety. Clarence had been released from the hospital following the operation in which he received an ar­ tificial hip joint. However, during recuperation at home he developed what appeared to be a blood clot in his leg, and he then had to be re­ admitted to the hospital for treatment. Clarence is now able to be up and around on crutches. We wish him a very speedy recovery and a quick return home. Mrs. Clarence Reid of Nashville was a Sunday dinner guest of Mrs. Jean Reid, also of this village. To celebrate her 9th bir­ thday, February 22nd, Lisa Corkwell of Nashville en­ tertained several of her friends for a slumber party Friday night. Present for the festivities at the Corkwell house were Amanda Conner, Lisa Johnson, Jennifer Robotham, Kim Burdick and By Susan Hinckley Cara Spoelstra, all of Nash­ ville, and Jennifer Thornton, of Assyria. Also joining in the fun was Lisa’s 4-year-old sister, Becky Sue. They are the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Corkwell of Nashville.

The United Methodist Women of Nashville will meet at 7:30 p.m. Wed­ nesday, February 5th, at the local church. With bitter winter tem­ peratures, March arrived like a lion - most folks will agree. Thank heavens for Nashville’s talented and dedicated ambulance crew that has been kept literally on the run this past week, transporting flu victims and other sufferers to the hospital. Among those persons taken to the hospital with difficulty breathing or other apparent com­ plications of the flu were Mrs. Robert Hinde, Mrs. Fred White, Mrs. Carrie Maurer, Art Frevor, and a Hastings gentleman who blacked out as he was leaving a Nashville bar­ bershop Thursday morning. He had been recently laid up with the flu. Also transported to Pennock Hospital Thur­ sday morning was Mrs. George (Pat) Vogt. Another run to Pennock Hospital was made by the Nashville ambulance shortly after noon Thursday to take in a young woman who had apparently overdosed on drugs. In addition, the local ambulance crew also responded to a call Monday morning to the Sunset Acres nursing home on Lawrence Road, but the transport was handled by Hastings ambulance. , Ted Mrs. (Clara) Spoelstra of Nashville, who had been confined at Pennock Hospital with severe complications of the flu, was able to return home last Tuesday, She had been hospitalized a week. Mrs. Justin (Grace) Cooley of Nashville con­ tinues to improve at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids, where she recently underwent surgery for removal of a brain tumor. Mrs. Cooley is able to be up and around some, as her recuperation progresses. Please take time to cheer her with a greeting. The address is: 1840Wealthy S. E., Grand Rapids, 49056. Her room is 1­ D38. Sorry to hear that Mrs. Rick (Cathy) Vessecchia of Nashville was ill and con­ fined at home last week. Up until her illness, she had been an “angel of mercy,” dashing around caring for others homebound by the bug. The Nashville Assembly of God will host a Missionary Convention the evenings of March 9th, 11th and 12th. At 7 p.m. Sunday, March 9, Greg Mondus, a missionary to Austria, Will speak.

Also present for the event were Julie Ellen Sheldon of Nash­ ville and Mr. and Mrs. Gary (Paula) Kimble and daughter Julie Michelle Murphy of Morrison Lake. The family gathering was briefly interrupted when Howard Casterline sustained injuries while working on his all-terrain vehicle. Fortunately, as it turned out he had only suffered pain­ fully pulled muscles, which was determined after he was taken . to a Battle Creek hospital for emergency treatment. When he returned home, the Sheldon family resumed their celebration of Jim’s birthday. “Bus Sunday,” set for March 16, will kick off a 6­ weeks Sunday School at­ tendance campaign by the Nashville Baptist Church.

This was in the early 1900’s the same time Frank had charge of the steam-powered water pumping station for Nash­ ville. Then, the village fathers told Frank he should blow the steam whistle every day at noon, continued Brumm, just to make sure it was in working order, since it also served as the village fire alarm. “Now, Frank was a meticulous fellow,” wrote Brumm, “and when they told him to blow the whistle at 12 o’clock, he blew the whistle precisely and sharply at noon.” To be sure his watch was correct, Frank would stop by the drug store on his way to work each morning — just to check the store timepiece. “Well, when Darrow the jeweler heard the fire whistle at 12 o’clock, he’d jump up and check his faith­ ful watch in the window, to be sure it was on correct time, as he assumed Frank would always have the correct time to sound off at noon,” explained Brumm. “Darrow didn’t realize Frank had earlier that day set his watch with the one in the jeweler’s window. It’s no wonder they always agreed with each other," concluded Brumm. Len W. Feighner, then editor-publisher of the Nashville News, is the one who, according to Brumm, broke the story of the wat­ ches checked unknowingly against each other. “Len blew it up for all it was worth,” noted Brumm. “Naturally, it provided much merriment among those concerned, as well as the rest of the news-reading public, to say nothing of those who checked their watches, either at the drug store window, or by the 12 o’clock whistle.” WANTED: 6 ambitious people interested in making an extra $1,000 a month working part-time.

Hummel �The Mople Volley News Noshville Wednesday March 5 1980 — Page 4 Memories of the pas Nashville was Frank Russell's world. He hadn't really figured it that way at the start, but when cir­ cumstances altered his plans, Frank made the best of it. He gave up his youthful dreams and dedicated his life to caring for his widowed mother, while serving his village and concisely recording its day-to-day life in diaries that are now a veritable treasure of Nash­ ville history. From the time he was a young lad, Frank had always dreamed of a life on the railroad. He had been a engineer briefly at Pontiac, and longed to pilot a streamlined locomotive. But when he was called home from operating a threshing machine at Devils Lake, North Dakota, to look after his mother following his father’s death in 1902, Frank traded those train dreams in for a settled life as Nash­ ville’s village engineer. “Frank loved anything that had to do with steam engines,” recalls Vern Staup of Nashville, who grew up near Russell’s bailiwick — the pump house'at Putnam Park. Frank Russell gave up his dream of running a loco­ motive to become Nashville's village engineer when he was nearly 37. A dedicated public servant, he later received a state award and was still employed at his death at age 83, when he' worked for the village on "sort of a pension." Frank's brief but comprehensive diaries reveal Nashville's early life and time. He loved to read Police Gazette in his spare time. (Photos loaned, courtesy HelenDille) At Pontiac Silverdome SATURDAY By Susan Hinckley When Frank was hired on April 10,1907, to run the two steam pumps in Nashville’s waterworks building, he tackled the job with rare dedication. He moved a bed­ in alongside the machinery and slept there for the next 29 years, pampering the old steam pumps — operating first one then the other — to assure Nashville a safe, Kids could look but not touch the machinery that Frank Russell kept proudly dependable and adequate polished at the waterworks plant.

Edward Dunbar Rich award in recognition of his more than quarter-century of “meritorius and faithful service.” In those early years of Frank’s employ, Nashville’s municipal water supply was pumped directly from the Thornapple River into the 85,000 gallon standpipe in Putnam Park. To keep the tower ’filled, Frank would awaken early each morning to start the machinery to bring the pressure up for the new day. At that time, -the village water piped into Idfchl homes was used only for non­ consumption purposes. It’s primary use was for fighting fires, and one of Frank’s predecessors had lost his job as water plant operator when a nearby village-owned home in which he lived was Old wooden shanty at rear of building stored coal for boiler.

The line appeared in print, however, as “We still have Young Elders.” Some have wondered if the store was a training ground for young preachers, as some churches call their newly ordained ministers Elders. Others have asked if Max and Lynn Kelley were trying to spike any rumors that they may be getting older despite their 25 years on From our readers— DEAR EDITOR: On behalf of Barry County Community Development, I would like to express our appreciation for the fine articles in your Feb. 20,1980, issue dealing with the Downtown Plan and Home fix-up.

Corkwell, Clerk Turn‘unwanted’, unused unneeded items into CASH Phone 945-9554 for Action WANT-ADS Nashville Council challenges cost of water contingency planBY Susan Hinckley A decision made by Nash­ ville officials at their village council meeting Thursday may test Michigan’s 1978 voter-approved Headlee amendment, a provision of which prohibits the state from mandating new programs without sending funds along to cover the expense. Nashville officials said they would advise the Michigan Dept, of Public Health that the village cannot afford to comply with that agency’s request for a Water System Contingency Plan for Nashville. That report had been requested by MDPH in conjunction with the Michigan Safe Drinking Water Act Compliance with the request would probably cost the village between $3,700 and $3,900, according to Bruce Kuffer, engineer with Williams & Works, the Grand Rapids firm that would be retained to prepare the plan. “We (the village) do not have the funds to do this project” said trustee Lonny Kienutske. “Under the Headlee amendment, if the state requires us to do this project they should supply us with the money.” In December, Nashville complied with an earlier request from MDPH for a General Water Plan. That report cost the village $2,881. The contingency plan is a second step, which would outline duties and name individuals responsible for protecting Nashville’s water system in the event of natural catastrophe or other disaster. Kienutske objected to the cost of the plan. $4,000 would almost take down our old water tower that may fall-on somebody,” he said, “Or, it would pavea street. He referred to an empty, unused standpipe which has been deemed dangerous by some village officials who have been stymied by lack of funds in past attempts to have the structure razed. Kuffer advised the council to let the MDPH know the position of the village regarding the contingency plan. “Based on whatever you feel, whether you think it is a good program or a bad program or has shortcomings or whatever - I think you should let them Maple Valley School LUNCH MENU Monday, March 10 Hamburgers, French Fries, Corn, Peaches, Cookie and Milk. , Tuesday, March 11 Turkey Gravy, Mashed Potatoes, Peas, Pears, Bread & Butter Sandwich and Milk.

According to the schedule, residential users will pay $9.05 per month for debt retirement and customer service costs, plus $1.66 per thousand gallons of water consumption. The base amount is not related to~ the water usage figure, which will pay for operation, maintenance, and replacement costs of the system. Nashville residents currently served by the present sewer system will begin paying increased rates on Sept. 1, 1980, at which time it is anticipated the expansion project will be at a 10 percent completion stage. The first increase will be called a “readiness to serve” charge. On March 1,1981, ah increased “commodity charge” will be added to the user’s monthly bill, to reflect the new usage rates based on water consumption. Connection fees for the new system are set at' $600 for an initial direct hook-up to an existing home. Sub- sequent direct hook-ups will cost $600 per home plus a 6 percent increase per year to date. The new system is ex­ pected to be operational by July 1,1981, if construction of the project gets underway early this summmer, as is currently anticipated. Federal and state grants totalling approximately $3.8 million will help pay for the $4.8 million expansion program which includes extended collection lines and a new lagoon-and-irrigation treatment facility west of the village. In other business Thur­ sday the council: - Heard Nashville Zoning Administrator Rick Ross give a progress report on action - against Robert Bloom, whom village of- ficials have claimed 4s operating an auto repair business in violation of Nashville’s 1976 zoning or­ dinance. - Approved a ew multiple-line phone system for Nashville’s village hall. - Set a 7 p.m. March 6 meeting of the council as a workshop on the new 1980-81 village budget, and designated two subsequent public hearings on the matter. The first is a 6:30 p.m. March 13 Proposed Use hearing, and the second, on Planned Use, is set for 6:30 p.m. March 20. - Heard Village President Harold Christiansen an­ nounce his appointment of Warrken K.

Although a native of Lansing, she spent the majority of her childhood in Vermontville, graduating from the local high school in 1942. Mrs. Gaedert is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vern Reed. She. and her husband, Donald, reside at 274 E.. Main. .They have five children: Harold, 37; Patti, 34; John, 32; Steve, 28; and Kathy; 15. Through the years, prior to being elected clerk, Mrs. Gaedert worked part-time as a secretary to the principal at the Vermontville school and as a secretary at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High. Mrs. Gaedert says she enjoys the contact with the public that she receives as cleric. One of her reasons for seeking re-election is help establish the village office “into a useful and functional office for the people.” She comments that it wasn’t long ago that the village office was taken “out of the kitchen” (out of the cleric’s home) and placed in an office on S. Main Street. “I want to make that new office useful for the citizens,” she said. The village office is located at 176 S. Main Street in what was a former bar­ bershop, between the Trumble Agency and the Sugar Hut. Mrs. Gaedert notes that there are. challenging problems ahead, like the landfill dilema, especially since the village is “strapped for finances.” She is pleased that the village is in the process of upgrading its traffic signs through a project financed with federal funding. Kathleen Marsh is seeking re-election to the post of Kathleen Marsh Leonard Aldrich Donald Lewis, Sr. Harold O'Dell village treasurer, an office she has held for the past 14 years. A Republican, she faces no opposition on the ballot for another two-year term. A Vermontville resident for the past 20 years, Mrs. Marsh and her husband, Wilbur, reside at 188 E. Main. Born in Hudson, she also^is a former Hastings resident. She is the daughter of the late Mr. Frank Walker and Mrs. Walker who sur­ vives. A graduate of Hudson High School in 1946, Mrs. Marsh has raised three children — Mrs. Linda Hamlin, Rebecca, and Tom — and has worked outside the home. She is currently employed ' as a business manager and assistant for Dr. Poole, a dentist in Charlotte. She worked for another dentist until his retirement 4% years ago. Mrs. Marsh is a member of the Lutheran Church in Hastings. She also belongs to the Vermontville Historical Society, Antique Study Club, and the American Business Women in Lansing. “I truthfully enjoy people,” said Mrs. Marsh when asked why she is seeking another term. “I feel so good if I can help someone.” As far as her role'on the village council, Mrs. Marsh says, “I’m a terrible con­ servative — with faxes as high as they are, we have to watch what we spend. “We have a good council with both conservatives and liberals,” she said. “I’m interested in how we can spend the least for the best service possible. She also enjoys the y challenge of investing money for the village to try to get the most out of the available dollars to work with. “I hope we can improve our streets, that’s one of my main goals,’’ said Mrs. Marsh. Another project she favors is the planting ofmore maple trees in the community.

Hale feels he has gained some valuable experience in the past four years on the council which will be beneficial if voters elect him to another term. “I like to see the taxpayers dollars spent where they should be spent,” he said. Hale is especially in­ terested in pursuing more federal grants for the village. He was responsible for applying for a federal grant three years ago which recently brought in $7,200 in federal monies to improve traffic signs in the village. “I want to help improve the village anyway I can,” he said. Saving the dump is one area of concern, but yet he feels that the dump can only be saved if “it is feasible where we can afford it.” “I’d like to see more streets improved, but that’s like pulling teeth (finan­ cially) . After going over the budget, I know there’s no way unless we can get federal monies.” Donald Lewis, Sr., in­ cumbent trustee is seeking re-election on the Democratic ticket.

Vermontville 'Women's Club' celebrates 40th anniversary— By Dora J. Nisse Women’s Club President Dorothy Carpenter and Vice President Hildred Peabody pose by the pine tree (in the background) that was planted in Vermontville's village park in 1940 to commemorate the founding of the organization. The tree was about three feet high when planted and "stood still for the next seven years,” but today its height towers about forty feet. The tree stands as the club's welcoming representative to newcomers and visitors in the village. It also serves as the community Christmas tree. Mrs. Peabody is a charter member of the club and Mrs. Carpenter joined in the early ’50's. The Vermontville Women’s Club was founded in March of 1940 ..and to commemorate that date, members planted a tiny pine tree in the village park. That special tree was nursed by club members for years before it began to grow. Now it is a hardy 40 feet and climbing. Club members like to think of that tree as its welcoming representative to the newcomers and visitors to Vermontville. The tree also has become very much a part of Christmas in the village — an especially beautiful sight when decorated for the holiday season. The lighting for the tree was purchased by the Women’s Club and its members performed the holiday decorating until it became too tall, then the village was asked to take over the task. As the pine tree flourishes, so does the club which celebrates its 40th an­ niversary this month. Thirty-five persons gathered for a celebration banquet last week at the Methodist Church in honor of the oc­ casion. A special program featured Mr. and Mrs. Hustwick who discussed their recent trip to Egypt. Archeological aspects of the country were highlighted during their talk. The pair were donned in Egyptian costumes, adding an in­ teresting note to the evening. Nine of the group’s current members who attended the anniversary celebration were charter members of the organization — Kathryn Bosworth, Jennie Boyd, Iva Reed, Hildred Peabody, Thelma Hall, the club’s first treasurer; Mabel Shetenhelm, Leta Nagle, Merna Faust, and Margaret Wilson, the group’s first president. Serving as officers for 1980 are Dorothy Carpenter, president; Mrs. Peabody, vice president; Roz Lingholm, recording secretary; Martha Christensen, treasurer; Jane -Thrun, auditor; and Serena Goodenough, corresponding secretary. It was through the Women’s Club that the village library started in 1949. The club takes special pride in giving the library its roots and members have always actively promoted the library. At syrup festival time, for instance, the club sponsors a library tea that is a very well attended and popular event. Summer story hours that are so popular with the children are also an activity of the club. For a number of years, the organization had an active chorus comprised of a number of its members. The group won several awards and one year even received the Southwest District’s gold trophy for their efforts. The Women’s Club members, through the years, have been very active in promoting and working for a better community. The organization’s activities have included: —Working actively with the Red Cross on the Bloodmobile program. —Conducting card parties as fund raising projects. —Sponsoring mother and child banquets. —Constructing floats for the Maple Syrup Festival parade. —Landscaping the court at Maple Valley High school when it Was built. —Purchasing and loaning silver and snack sets to indiviuals and groups in the community. —Actively supporting Girls town. — Preparing and delivering treats to the patients at Kalamazoo State Hospital for many years. —Holding an annual speech contest featuring declamation, poetry, and oratory and involving high school students. A former activity, the talent and hobby show for the youth of the community was always outstanding with its paintings, drawings, models, and soap carvings among other creations. For many years, graduating senior girls and their mothers have been the club’s guests at a tea and program held especially in their honor. Atone time, club members even put on highly successful minstrel shows for several years for fund raising purposes. Because of the abundance of talented people in the club, its members directed the shows them­ selves. They also traveled to other places to perform. Often, the first program of the year would feature flowers and flower arrangements with prizes or sometimes a plant exchange incorporated into the event. The club’s programs have been entertaining, unusual, and educational due to the hard work and efforts of its program committees. Capable persons who have contributed to the club are many. And, all members of the group have exemplified the purposes of the Women’s Club — which is: to stimulate mental growth tending toward social and civic improvements and service to mankind. The club’s objective is to improve personal awareness and commuiiity awareness. Interested persons are always welcome to join. It is thought that almost all individuals in the com­ munity have been touched in some way by the club’s endeavors and perhaps even lived a little better life because of the organization’s influence. Mild winter brings savings to Nashville If village taxpayers need a little cheering this winter, Village Clerk Suzy Corkwell reported some good news at last Thursday’s 1980-81 Budget planning session of the Nashville Village Council. Snow and ice removal has been so minimal this season that the village has saved a bundle of money. Budgeted in the 1979-80 year was $2,000. for labor in snow and ice removal from major streets. So far, through February, only $157. had been spent in wages in that category. In the section covering local streets, $1,500 had been budgeted for snow and ice removal labor. Wages in that division so far this year, through February, have totaled only $51. In addition, the DPW crew has been able to take care of the roads and streets by using supplies, salt, etc., already on hand, so there have been no expenditures in that category either. Anyway you look at it, Nashville taxpayers are definitely winners this winter! �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, March 12. 1980 — Page 2 Nashville News Winter finally arrived in Nashville last week — just in time to shake hands with spring, which is scheduled to make an appearance here on March 20. Fortunately, last week’s winteiy blast was not as severe as had been predicted by weather forecasters who had called for' up to 6 inches of snow by early Wednesday. Though road conditions warranted cautious driving, most were not in the “treacherous” category after last week’s storm. Sorry to learn of the death last Wednesday of Mrs. Mary Mason, who had lived in the Nashville area for sixty years. At the time of her death she resided at the Barry County Medical Care Facility, where she had been in failing health since 1977. Mary’s husband, the late C. O’. “Ab” Mason, was a wellknown local citizen, often referred to as Mr. Nashville News. When “Ab” died in 1956, he had been with the paper nearly 48 years. He ran the “backroom” for four different publishers, and was often credited with being the person most responsible for the continued publication of Nashville’s newspaper. Mary occasionally helped out at the News office in the “circulation department”. Especially during World War II, she was active in getting papers in the mail to many Nashville boys serving in the Armed Forces. Mary’s only immediate survivor is her stepson, Dick Mason of Nashville. Condolences are extended to the family. Pastor Lester DeGroot and Assistant Pastor Don Roscoe of the Nashville Baptist Church, accompanied by Ron Tutt and Steve Priddy, both of Nashville, were in Indianapolis, Indiana, last Thursday and Friday to attend a BEKA school conference. The session was in regard to Christian school education and administration. Mrs. Wyn Buckner, a former Hastings resident now living in Canada at London, Ontario, was a Thursday evening dinner guest of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Tobias and family of Nash­ ville. In answer to a recent plea from Nashville village of­ ficials for a suitable place to park a semi trailer to serve as a collection point for local Cub Scouts paper recycling project, Mr. and Mrs. Robert DeCamp of rural Nashville contacted Village President Harold Christiansen. The DeCamps have offered the former Riverside Mill site, which they now own, as a parking place for the rig to be furnished by the paper buyer. Papers can then be loaded directly into the. trailer in which they will be hauled away. The scouts recently lost their former collection station for the fund-raising project when the old pump house at Putnam Park began to undergo restorations for use as a “warming room” and community meeting hall. Mrs. Meta Hyde and daughter, Joyce Hyde, of Kalamazoo were Monday callers on Mrs. Adah Steele of Nashville.

The Nashville ambulance was called north of town about noon last Wednesday to transport an injured motorist to the hospital. A Lake Odessa man driving a company truck reportedly blacked out and left the roadway, striking several mailboxes and a tree. The accident occurred near the M-66 and Coats Grove Road intersection. While the driver sustained apparently minor injuries, the truck was reported to be totaled. The Nashville Fire Dept, was joined by several firefighters from other departments in the area for a Woodburning Safety session at the Nashville Fire Barn last Monday evening.

In addition to Nashville firemen, represehtatives were present from the departments for Hastings, Woodland, Vermontville and Middleville. Jerome Meehan of Nash­ ville returned home last week from Hayes-GreenBeach Hospital in Charlotte, where he had undergone surgery. He is now recovering well. Mr. and Mrs. Ard (Iza) Decker of Nashville were Tuesday evening supper guests of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Elliston and family, also of this village. The gathering was in honor of Iza’s bir­ thday.

Mrs. Thelma Stewart of rural Nashville was a recent week-long visitor at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Judy Bigford, and family near Haslett. Mrs. Stewart was called home Saturday to attend the funeral of her nephew, George Milnie of Lansing, who died suddenly, apparently in reaction to a flu shot. George, 39, was the son of Mrs. Stewart’s sister, Mrs. Clara Milnie of Charlotte, and was at his mother’s home at the time of his death. Mrs. Zelpha Wolever of Napa, California, was ex­ pected to arrive last weekend in Nashville, where she will make a permanent home with her brother, Clifford Brooks. The Council on Ministries of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 18, at the church, to be followed by an 8 p.m. meeting of the Administrative Board. Denny Lamie, member of the Riverside Recreational By Susan Hinckley Development Corp., has labeled the upcoming March 22nd dance to be sponsored by that organization as “Phase I Dance”. The title signifies that the community park currently under con­ struction by the RRDC has reached its first phase. The park on the banks of the Thornapple is being built with state and federal grants and a “local share,” which amounts to a lot of back­ breaking work. Various RRDC-sponsored projects have helped raise funds for the park development, and the upcoming Phase I Dance at the local V.F.W. hall is part of that ongoing effort. The RRDC is also currently laying plans for Nashville’s annual Harvest Festival, set this year for Sept. 19-20. Recorded sounds of the 50’s and 60’s which made such a hit at the 1979 Harvest Ball, sponsored last fall by the RRDC, will supply music for the Phase I Dance, March 22. Discs will be spun by Larry Schaub, whose extensively indexed 1,200plus record collection can fill most any request. Previous RRDC-sponsored dances Have been staged at the Nashville Fire Barn, but the March 22 event will be held at the V.F.W. hall to eliminate a great deal of work in hauling tables and chairs and setting up facilities. Tickets for the dance will be available at the door for $2 single or $3, couple. Chamber of Commerce members are reminded of the March 12 dinner meeting of the organization. Stewart and Joyce Southworth of the Strip Shop are in charge of dinner reservations for the 7 p.m. event at the Steakhouse Restaurant. Those attending are also reminded to have any topics or questions ready to forward to Rep. Donald H. Gilmer (R-55th District) in preparation for his April 9th appearance before the Nash; ville group. A young Nashville violinist will be performing when the Battle Creek Youth Sym­ phony Orchestra presents a March 16 concert at Kellogg Community College. She is Laurie Tobias, 17-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Tobias ofNashville. The 2 p.m. Sunday event, to be staged at the theater on the KCC campus, in Battle Creek, will be directed by Lynn Thaler, a former Hastings director. A member of Hastings High School’s orchestra, Laurie will also soon enter two solo contests. The first is a March 22 state solo competition at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo. The second event will be participation in a Talents for Christ competition set for May 17 at the Grand Rapids Bible College and Seminary. Mrs. Ednah McConnell, a former Nashville resident now of Battle Creek, is much improved in health, reports her sister, Mrs. Viola Beystrum of Nashville. Mrs. McConnell has been quite ill and confined to home recently. Mrs. Zoe Gillett of Hastings is, at the time of this report, confined to Pennock Hospital. She was hospitalized on February 28. Mrs. Gillett is a former Nashville area resident who now lives at the Howe Nusing Home on W. Green Street in Hastings. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Bahs of Nashville were Sunday evening supper guests of Clara and Earl Pennock of Bivens Road. Saturday evening, the Pennocks en­ tertained Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Jones, also of Bivens Road. Recent callers on Mr. and Mrs. Austin Schantz of Nash­ ville were Mr. and Mrs. Vic Schantz, Jr., of near Hastings and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Smith of Battle Creek. Clarence Reid of Nashville was able to return home Friday, February 29, from Leila Hospital in Battle Creek, following a second confinement after recent surgery to replace a hip joint. He had returned to the hospital when complications developed during recuperation. Now, Clarence is getting around on crutches and was able to attend the noon dinner at the Nashville Senior Citizens Nutrition Site last week. Saturday guests of Clarence and Margaret Reid were Vaughn Reid and his daughter, Jennifer, of Nash­ ville, who had lunch with his parents. Evening visitors were the Reids daughter and family, Anetta and Dave Tredinnick and children, Davy and Becky, of Hastings. A supper honored Becky’s 8th birthday. Later callers were the Reid’s sons and their families: Vernon and Jo Anne Reid and children, Michelle and Greg, of Charlotte, and Arden and Sue Reid and daughters, Mindy, Arnie and Erica, of Nashville. Sunday dinner guest of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Reid were sons and their families: Darrel and Karen Reid and boys, Sherman and Matt, of Kalamo, and Arden and Sue Reid and daughters of Nash­ ville.

In honor of the oc­ casion, Margaret was presented with a beautiful floral arrangement. The Capitol City Christian School Choir from Lansing will perform at 7 p.m. Sunday services at the Nash­ ville Baptist Church, March 23. A “jail” in the vestibule of the Nashville Baptist Church will add a touch of humor to an upcoming Sunday School attendance campaign there. The 6-week program will start on “Bus Sunday,” March 16, with workers in the bus ministry being honored. That day, the church will shoot for a goal of 300 riding buses to attend services. The campaign will conclude on “Victory Sun­ day,” April 20, with the appearance of Florida evangelist Wayne Swearingen and Virginia gospel singer Billy Speer. Each made 1979 presen­ tations at the Nashville Baptist Church that were well-received. This year, both will remain here from April 19th through 23rd for a 5-day evangelistic crusade. The “jail” will come into play each Sunday of the campaign if Sunday School teachers fail to meet allotted attendance quotas, as any “violators” will be jailed for “holding up the progress” of the program. The culprits will be garbed in black-andwhite stripes and in­ carcerated for an hour during morning church services.

Main St., Nashville STANTON We soon will be celebrating Palm Sunday which acknowledges Jesus Christ's trium­ phal entry into Jerusalem. Three different types of people were present in the large gathering that day. Let's examine the three groups according to the twelfth chapter of John. In the seventeenth and eighteenth verses of that chapter, John mentions that some people were there because they had wit­ nessed Christ raise Lazarus from the dead. Others were there because they had heard of this miracle and wanted to see the cele­ brity. How many of us today attend a church because the pastor has a dynamic personality or because we enjoy watching others wor­ ship or receive from the Lord? In verse nineteen, John mentions that the Pharisees were present at the gathering. They were there because of a jealous curios­ ity of the crowd Jesus had drawn. They did not come to receive of the Lord Jesus but to criticize and find fault. How many of us come to church to criticize instead of wor­ ship? Finally, in verses twenty and twenty-one, John mentions that the Greeks were present. Their desire — "We would see Jesus." They came searching for real meaningior their lives. They sensed something more than just an everyday occurance. As we come to church this Easter season, let's examine our true motive for entering the house of God. Is it to be a spectator, a critic, or a receiver? Steven L. Reid, Peace United Methodist Real Estate & Auctioneers i LUMBER YARD rt Only one life—will soon bepast T1 219 S.

Nashville, Wednesday, March 12, 1980 — Page 4 Memories of the past When he retired in 1958, Dr. Morris was Barry County's oldest practicing physician. In 60-years service to Nashville,' he had treated third and fourth generation members of many local families. He started making house calls by horse and buggy, continued the practice by auto in later years. He died in 1962,, fust a few weeks short of his 87th birthday. (Photo by Gladys Miller Richardson) By Susan Hinckley Dr. Edgar T. Morris spent at Code County Hospital a lifetime healing Nashville there. He was a native of folks. In his nearly 60-year Michigan, born July 19,1875, career as a local physician, near Jasper in Lenawee Dr. Morris often treated County. In 1902, four years after his third and fourth generations arrival in Nashville, Dr. of the same family. “Dr. Morris was our Morris married Elizabeth family doctor from the time I Hand of Spring Valley, A native of can remember,” recalls Illinois.

The following year, Dr. “He was a fine doctor and remembers Morris acquired the former surgeon,” Kenneth A. Meade, a Nash­ Dr. R. P.

The petite Morris as an “all around building originally stood on good family doctor — a very the southeast comer of the conscientious man.” Main Street - Washington Dr. Morris was only 23 intersection until it was years old when he arrived in moved to the South Main Nashville in August 1898 to Street location in 1899 by Dr. establish a medical practice Comfort. in an office above Ed “The little buildings which Liebhauser’s drug store have stood for so many years (now Simon Pharmacy).

Morris arrived in Nashville at age 23, fresh from his internship at Cook County Hospital in Chicago. That was 1898, and the start of a lifelong career as a local physician. His tiny Main Street office is well-remembered; was an early village structure that once housed a shoe repair shop in another location. and occupy,” advised the Nashville News in mid­ September 1899. “Of the three buildings which stood on the property, Dr. R. P. Comfort bought the one formerly occupied by H. W. Walrath (shoemaker) and is moving it to his recently purchased residence property on South Main Street, where he will use it for an office. He has also bought the barn and will move it onto the back of his lot.” The barn later became a carriage house for Dr. Morris, who made early calls by horse and buggy. Vern Staup remembers Dr. Morris stabling a horse in the barn. “But when I was a young fellow, about the age of his son Emory, we played together and were often in the carriage house,” recalls Vera “Then, it held Dr. Morris’ auto; that was about 1910.” (Emory, the Morrises’ only child, later became a Straight or Curly To Your Liking .»* NANCY’S BEAUTY SHOP 147 SOUTH MAIN STREET, VERMONTVILLE HOURS: Mori., Tues., Thurs. & Fri. 9 to 4:30; Sot. 9 to 1 dentist and gained great fame as president and general director of the Kellogg Foundation in Battle Creek.) House calls — whether by auto or horse — were routine for physicians in Dr. Morris’ early Nashville days. “I can remember when we moved here in 1935, Dr. Morris made house calls day or night,” said Mrs. Margaret Wagner, who with her husband, Curtis, moved to Nashville from Chicago. The Wagners lived two doors from the Morris residence. “Office or house calls were oifly $1 then,” recalls Mrs. Wagner. By that time, Vern Staup was no longer a young lad playing in Dr. Morris’ carriage house. He was a barber and able to help the doctor with transportation when needed. “In the early 1930’s, I occasionally drove Dr. Morris to Hastings to the hospital,” remembers Vera “There were times when he didn’t feel like driving." In Dr. Morris’ early days in Nashville, trips to an outof-town hospital were far and few betweea He and Dr. F. F. Shilling, another favorite local physician, performed many simple operations operati in their patients’ homes. “Dr. Morris was considered to be one of the best heart doctors in this part of the country and he: was also a good surgeon,” nremembers Helen (Miller)) Hecker, whose family located south of town in 1909. “Dr. Shilling would ad­ minister the anesthetic and Dr. Morris would do the surgery when they performed operations here,” she added. Shilling later suffered a stroke, became incapacitated for a time, and finally died in 1925, ending a practice that had begun in 1904. In 1932, a private hospital was opened in Nashville by two nurses from the same Woodland family. The facility was located in a red brick home, still standing on the southeast corner of State and Maple Street intersection (Not to be con­ fused with another hospital which opened later in the brick home directly across the street, now the Arden Schantz home and com­ monly referred to as the former Dr. White property). “Our new Community Hospital, established in the former Elliston residence, corner of State and Maple Streets, by Woodland ladies, Mrs. Velma Jarser and daughter, Mrs. Nellie Cook, nurses, with the financial assistance of the former’s mother, Mrs. Jennie Purdun, and the village of Nashville, is spic and span, attractive and home-like, with up-todate equipment,” noted the Nashville News in October 1932. “Open for inspection, it attracted about two hundred persons on Wednesday and Thursday of last week from this and other localities.” The hospital had three enen­ trances, six beds, and an operating room. But Dr. Morris did not use cont. next page — • PUBLIC HEARING • The Nashville Village Council will hold a public hearing on the proposed use of the 11th Entitle­ ment Period Federal Revenue Shar­ ing (*25,973.00) in conjunction with the 1980 Fiscal Year Budget on ...

By then, his patients who needed hospitalization were going to Pennock in Hastings. In his spare time, Dr. Morris enjoyed all sorts of sports. "He loved to fish,” recalls Margaret Wagner “He fished with Curt wh enever he could—anytime he could get away from his practice." Vem remembers one time the doctor went coon hunting with the fellows and got lost. And Helen Hecker recalled another sporting activity of the doctor. “He pitched horseshoes with my husband, Vem,” she said. “That was in the 1930’s, and they traveled to tournaments all over." Helen also reminisced about another sport Dr. Morris enjoyed. "He always came to Nash­ ville’s high school football games when he had a chance,” she said. “Especially the traditional Thanksgiving Day game when alumni or teachers would challenge the local team.” In addition to various medical society associations and lodge affiliations with the Masonic Order and the Knights of Pythias, Dr. Morris found time to serve his community in civic and educational affairs. He served six terms as village trustee after his 1900 election to the council, and nine years on the local school board — a post to which he was elected In 1922.

SOURS, Secretary Nashville Zoning Board of Appeals Rep. Nash's bill bans exploding bullets — The Michigan Haase of Representatives Thursday unanimously approved a bin which would ban the manufacturing, sale and possession of exploding bullets in Michigan . State Representative Ernie Nash (R-Dimondale), a former state trooper and the bill’s sponsor, said he is confident that the Senate will also approve the legislation. Approval of the measure would prohibit any use of the buDets-winch explode once inside a person's body—in Michigan. "These ballets are com­ pletely inhumane, and the sooner this bill is passed and placed on the state's law books, the better off Michigan citizens will be." Nash said. Nash added that even Michigan law enforcement personnel, who presently have access to many more dangerous weapons than the average state citizen, would be banned from possessing the bullets under the measure’s provisions. "These bullets can benefit no one," Nash said. "They carry a great potential for the destruction of lives and should be outlawed." Items already banned from street sale to Michigan citizens include machine guns; silencers; bombs; black jades; slung shots; billys: metallic knuckles; sand clubs; bludgeons, and gas ejecting devices. Nash said taw enforcement per­ sonnel in Michigan can legally possess any of these weapons and explosives. Under the bill’s provisions, any Michigan citizen found manufacturing, selling or possessing explosive bullets in Michigan could be found guilty of a felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and-or a C.SOO maximum fine. from our readers DEAR EDITOR: I moved here from another state exactly five months ago, with my son, who was in psychology, and on the staff of Pittsburgh’s largest University. If it were not for a most kind and loving husband who has done more than anyone anywhere to make our living here enjoyable, (He is a native from here.) we may have given up! My son and I have lived in California, Mississippi, Texas, Ohio and Pennsylvania, and no where did we encounter the residents of any community where we had moved so distant towards a newcomer as they are here. No matter what large town we moved into in Pennsylvania (and our vocation required moving every so often) the following day after we moved in; there was a Welcome Wagon at our door to greet us and make us acquainted and the same in Ohio. In the Southern States, their Southern Hospitality was just showered on us. In California everyone was so friendly and kind. My son, who is a young man, and accustomed to swarms of friends, stopped one day to talk with a businessman here. He told this gentleman: "how lonely we were here, and that scarcely anyone seems tn even want to greet you, with a hello or good morning or whatever.” This gentleman said: "you are a newcomer here, you are as an outsider, like a total stranger, and they don’t make acquain­ tances easily.” So from that we can only judge that we are not desired here Only my husband knows our background. We have a life-long religous background, being reared in a parsonage we both owned and operated four antique shops, we like to teach others about antiques, we are both in the arts, and my son has worked with young people in many ways. We feel we both are an authoritative person on glassware and its making and history. Now we would both like to know what the residents of this community desire to know about us. For one thing each and everyone should place themself in our position and see how they would like to be treated when they moved into a new state and village. Would they want to be gone unnoticed by the residents of a new locality? We like fishing, going to auctions, wildlife and animals (and we are collectors), I hope that someone will read this letter who knows what loneliness is.

(o) Discharges that would result in excess foaming during the treatment process. Excess foaming is any foam which, in the opinion of the Manager, is a nuisance in the treat­ ment process. Section 4. If any waters or wastes are discharged, or are proposed to be discharged, to the public sewers, which waters contain the substances or possess the characteristics enumerated in Section 3 of this Article, and which in the judgment of the Manager may have a deleterious effect upon the sewage works, processes, equipment or receiving waters, or which otherwise create a hazard to life or constitute a public nuisance, the Village may: (a) Reject the wastes. (b) Require pretreatment to the level defined as "normal strength sewage." (c) Require pretreatment to a compatible level and in accor­ dance with applicable Federal and State pretreatment regulations (other than normal strength sewage) for dis­ charge to the public sewers. If the Village permits the pretreatment or equalization of waste flows, the design and installation of the plants and equipment shall be subject to the review and approval of the Manager and subject to the requirements of all applicable codes, ordinances and laws. ARTICLE VI - INDUSTRIAL WASTE CONTROL PROGRAM Section 1. One person from each industry shall be delegated the authority to be responsible for industrial wastes admitted to the Village sewers. He shall be involved with maintaining any pretreatment facility operations and assuring a continual high level of performance. In case no pretreatment is provided, he shall be involved with prevention of accidental discharges of process wastes admitted to the sanitary sewer system. He must become aware of all potential and routine toxic wastes generated by his industry. He must be informed of all process alterations which could, in any manner, increase dr decrease normal daily flow or waste strength discharged to the sanitary sewers. Section 2. This industrial representative shall catalogue all chemicals stored, used or manufactured by his industry. Such a listing shall include specific chemical names, not manufacturer's codes. These wastes admitted to the sanitary sewer are a prime concern; however, all discharges shall be catalogued. An estimate of daily average flows and strengths shall be made including process, cooling, sanitary, etc. Such a determination should separ­ ate the flows according to appropriate categories. The aforementioned flow and chemical listing is to be sent to the Manager and shall be treated as confidential information. Section 3. The industrial representative should attempt to deter­ mine whether or not large process alterations will occur during the next few years — one year, two years, five years. He should consult with management to determine if such alterations are scheduled and forthcoming. Section 4. A sketch of the plant buildings shall be made, including a diagram of process and chemical storage areas. Location of any pretreatment equipment must be indicated, and floor drains located near process and storage areas must be noted. Manhole and sewer locations at the industry's point of discharge into the municipal collection system must be included on the plant layout sketch. Section 5. There shall be separation of spent concentrates from the sanitary sewer to prevent toxic wastes from upsetting the treat­ ment plant. Supervision and operation of equipment for pretreat­ ment of spent concentrates, toxic wastes and high strength organic wastes, to an acceptable level as detailed in the Village Sewer Use Ordinance, is the responsibility of the industrial representative. All sludges generated by such treatment must be handled in an accep­ table manner — such as in a designated area of a sanitary landfill or by a licensed waste hauler. Adequate segregation of those waters and wastes to be pretreated to meet discharge limits is a vital portion of the industrial effort to prevent operational problems at the wastewater treatment plant. Section 6. Adequate secondary containment or curbing must be provided to protect all floor drains from accidental spills and dis­ charges to the receiving sewers. Such curbing should be sufficient to hold 150% of a total process area tank volume. All floor drains within a containment area must be plugged and sealed. Spillthroughs or sumps within process areas must discharge to approp­ riate pretreatment tanks. Secondary containment shall be provided for chemical storage areas and for storage tanks which may be serviced by commercial haulers. Section 7. If so directed by the Village, an adequate sampling vault or manhole must be provided at the Owner's expense, in a fully accessible place for Village personnel to obtain waste samples and flow measurement data. The complexity of the vault will vary with the sampling requirements the Manager determines necessary to protect the treatment plant and receiving streams. Should the Village desire continual flow recording and long duration, 24-hour composite sampling, then a more complex manhole would be man­ datory — complete with 120 volt AC. Samples collected may be divided between the industry and Village for analysis if so desired by the industry. Industrial users which are subject to "Industrial Cost Recovery," as defined in the Village Sewer Rate and Connec­ tion Ordinance, shall install suitable monitoring equipment as des­ cribed above and as approved by the Village. Section 8. A yearly surveillance fee may be initiated to reduce some Section 5. Grease, oil and sand interceptors shall be provided when, in the opinion of the Manager, they are necessary for the proper handling of liquid wastes containing grease in excessive amounts, or any flammable wastes, sand or other harmful ingred­ ients; except that such interceptors shall not be required for private living quarters or dwelling units. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Manager, and shall be located as to be readily and easily accessible for cleaning and inspection. equipment costs or for maintenance of monitoring devices. If a graduated surcharge is deemed necessary to monitor industrial discharges, then a factor may be incorporated to reduce the costs as industry lowers its waste strength. The Village will encourage continued progress in industrial waste control. A graduated surcharge may not be required if industry provides adequate safe­ guard devices and treatment facilities to insure protection of the municipal treatment plant and biological processes involved. Section 6. When preliminary treatment or flow equalizing facilities are provided for any waters or wastes, they shall be maintained continuously in satisfactory and effective operation by the owner at his expense. ARTICLE VII - POWERS AND AUTHORITY OF INSPECTORS Section 1. The Manager and other duly authorized employees of the Section 7. When required by the Village, the owner of any property serviced by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall install a suitable control manhole together with such necessary meters, and other appurtenances in the building sewer to facilitate obser­ vation, sampling and measurement of the wastes. Such manhole, when required, shall be accessible and safely located, and shall be constructed in accordance with plans approved by the Village. The manhole shall be installed by the owner at his expense; and shall be maintained by him so as to be safe and accessible at all times. Section 8. All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteris­ tics of water and wastes to which reference is made in this ordinance shall be determined in accordance with the most recent edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Sewage" and/or Federal Regulation 40CFR136 and shall be deter­ mined at the control manhole provided for, or upon suitable samples taken at, said control manhole, in the event that no special manhole has been required, the control manhole shall be con­ sidered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connected. Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted methods to reflect the effect of constituents upon the sewage works and to determine the existence of hazards to life, limb and property. The particular analyses involved will determine whether a 24-hour composite of all outfalls of a premises is appropriate or whether grab sample or samples should be taken. The responsibilities of industry are further defined in the "Industrial Waste Control Program" shown in Article VI of this ordinance. Section 9. No statement contained in this article shall be construed as preventing any special agreement or arrangement between the Village and any industrial concern whereby an -industrial waste of unusual strength or character may be accepted by the Village foi treatment, subject to payment therefor, by the industrial concern. Village, bearing proper credentials and identification, shall be per­ mitted to enter upon all properties for the purpose of inspection, observation, measurement, sampling and testing in accordance with the provision of this ordinance. The Manager or his represen­ tatives shall have no authority to inquire into any proprietary processes beyond bny information having a direct bearing on the kind and source of discharge to the sewers and waterways or facilities for waste treatment. Section 2. While performing the necessary work on private proper­ ties referred to in Article VII, Section 1 above, the Manager or duly authorized employees of the Village shall observe all safety rules applicable to the premises established by the property owner, and .the property owner shall be held harmless for injury or death to the employees, and the Village shall indemnify the claims and demands for personal injury or property damage asserted against the company and growing out of the gaging and sampling operation, except as such may be caused by negligence or failure of the company to maintain safe conditions as required in Article V, Section 8. easement line to their premises.

Those customers making connections subsequent to the time of original construction of the public sewer shall install, at their expense, the sewer lateral stub from the public sewer to the lot of easement line in addition to that portion of the building sewer from said lot or easement line to their premises. Section 3. The Village shall, in no event, be held responsible for claims made against it by reason of the breaking of any mains or service laterals, or by reason of any other interruption of the service caused by the breaking of machinery or stoppage for necessary repairs; and no person shall be entitled to damages nor have any portion of a payment refunded for any interruption. Section 4. Premises receiving sanitary sewer service shall, at all reasonable hours, be subject to inspection by duly authorized per­ sonnel of the Village. ARTICLE X-PENALTIES Section 1. Any person found to be violating any provision of this ordinance shall be served with written notice stating the nature of the violation and providing a reasonable time limit for the satisfactory correction thereof. The offender shall, within the period of time stated in such notice, permanently cease all violations. Section 2. Any person convicted of a violation of any provision of this ordinance shall be punished by a fine of not more than $500, or by imprisonment of not more than 90 days, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

Township imposes rent: 3406 changing village meeting place In order to cut expenses for Nashville taxpayers, village officials may decide to return their meeting quarters to the “basics of life”. If so, future public meetings may be conducted by the cozy heat of a newlybuilt circular brick fireplace in the old 1891 waterworks building in Putnam Park. Those plans were con­ sidered in an informal 1980­ 81 Budget planning session last Thursday night, after the Nashville council learned that Castleton Township had decided to implement a rental fee for future village use of the township hall for public meetings. Village President Harold Christiansen said he was informed by township of­ ficials Wednesday that they plan to charge the village $60 per month for use of the hall in addition to half the electric bills, which the village already pays under the present agreement. Christiansen said he was told the $60 fee will cover five meetings a month. If the village uses the hall in ex­ cess of that amount, the township will charge $15 for each additional meeting. Nashville currently holds four regularly scheduled monthly meetings in the hall —- two council meetings and two zoning meetings — plus all village elections. Nashville has been using the more spacious township facilities since September 1978 when it was deemed that Nashville’s village hall was too cramped for public meetings. Seating capacity there was limited to seventeen persons, including the seven council officials. On numerous occasions, there was insufficient room for the audience. Since moving their public meetings to Castleton Township Hall, Nashville extensively remodeled village hall, creating separate offices for the village clerk and police department, and virtually negating any possibility of returning public meetings to that building. When township officials consented in 1978 to allow the village use of the Castleton Hall, there was no rental fee in the agreement. Rules accepted by both governing bodies at that time stipulated only that: 1) there be no smoking in the hall; 2) the hall be cleaned by the village after each meeting; 3) the village and township split electricity bills 50-50, with the utility figure to be reviewed at the end of the fiscal year; 4) the village cleric be responsible for the key to the hall; and, 5) Doubleday Company be retained to set up voting machines if the village should decide to change to that method of voting for village elections (paper ballots are still used in the village). Nashville officials at Thursday’s meeting were outspoken against the pending rental fee, and suggested several options to avoid spending what they estimated to be over $900 per year for the township hall use. Nashville paid $288 for the past year to cover utility costs in the hall, and they felt a rental fee on top of considers Use of Castleton Township Hall for Nashville's public meetings may start costing village taxpayers more than they are willing to bear. Village president Harold Christiansen learned last week that township officials plan to charge the village $60 per month for use of the building plus $15 for each additional meeting over 5. Nashville has paid no rent but has footed 50 percent of the electric bills on the hall since they received approval in Sept. 1978 to use it for public meetings and village elections. Nashville's old 1891 waterworks building in Putnam Park has witnessed decades of local history and may see more if village officials carry through with suggested plans to move public meetings there rather than pay rent to Castleton Township for use of their hall on S. Main St. The waterworks building was recently restored after several years use as a recycling center. It is heated only with a new circular brick fireplace. that amount would be too much of a burden on the village. Most of the council of­ ficials favored moving Nash­ ville’s public meetings to the village-owned waterworks building which was used as a pump house until the 1930’s. It has recently been renovated but is heated only with an open, circular brick fireplace. Christiansen estimated the 28’ x 38’ building would have a seating capacity equal to, or greater than, the township hall. Meeting at the Masonic Hall was also considered. Expressing dismay at the pending rental fee to be imposed by the township, trustee Lonny Kienutske pointed out that two-thirds of the people of Castleton Township live in the village ofNashville, and are already contributing tax dollars to support the hall. Nashville residents pay winter property taxes to Castleton Township. Summer taxes, paid by village property owners, go to support the village of Nashville. Castleton Township treasurer Geneva Brumm, contacted Friday, said the township board felt the necessity of charging the rental fee because of the wear and tear on the building, in particular the carpeting. She said that while she did not necessarily agree with the township board’s decision, the majority felt that the tqwnship should be reim­ bursed by the village for use of the hall. Mrs. Brumm said they will eventually have to replace the carpeting and they should be accumulating funds toward that and other maintenance and replacement costs.

It is important that all of our citizens are recorded. Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin, wrote last week to comment on our recent “Memories” on the Hannemann’s Dry Goods store. He recalled visiting the place as a child and also remembered the former owners, Will and John Kocher. “They had a large elevator in the back of the store that was used to take heavy items up to the second floor,” wrote Meade. “It was very slow probably a hydraulic elevator.” Meade recalled the fun of riding the lift whenever he was given the opportunity by John Kocher. He fondly recalled brothers Will and John, and going with his grandmother to visit their sister, Sarah, who kept house for the Kocher family on Reed Street. also Meade remembered another feature at the store which fascinated him when he accompanied his mother or grandmother there. “I was intrigued with the tape measured yard goods,” he wrote. “Interesting how something like that will stick in one’s memory.” We are certainly thankful for all the wonderful memories that have stuck with Mr. Meade, and are indebted to him for sharing his special thoughts which have added so much to our stories about Nashville’s earlier days. Incidentally, Mr. Meade spotted our error in which we had incorrectly labled the photo of proprietor Hannemann standing near hitching rails in front of his store. We had inadvertently captioned the photo as taken in the early 1920’s, even though it clearly showed that Main Street lacked curbing. “As I remember, Main Street was paved before 1920,” noted Meade. “The picture shows the hitching posts for horses and the cobblestone paving where the horses stood when far­ mers were doing their shopping. The cobblestone paving was removed when the brick paving was put in around 1918 or perhaps earlier.” He is correct. The cobblestone was removed when Main Street was paved with brick in 1917.

Who would go to that deserted summer resort area when every snowweary northerner yearns for warm Florida? Howard and I would! - only because we looked forward eagerly to a weekend work retreat there with other congressional families. The idea of a retreat was conceived by several members of Congress who have been feeling almost helpless under a burgeoning work load, and who have Gabby’s INCOME TAX SERVICE Federal, State and City 852-1512 LOW RATES & Same Day Service been frustrated by the lack of contemplative time with colleagues to discuss issue directions and solutions. During this weekend away there would be a serious agenda to follow-a letter carrier’s holiday, some groaned!-but there would be no buzzers demanding the dropping of whatever was being done, and no long runs down underground corridors to the House floor for roll call votes. There would be no scampering between three crucial committee hearings all scheduled for the same hour. We decided to go, an­ ticipating that, aside from the benefits of open-ended, uninterrupted discussion together, time the representatives and their families would become better acquainted. Rarely do several congressional families spend time together walking or jogging along a quiet, windy beach. Seldom do they mix it up in a spirited soccer or baseball game. Our son Michael hoped there would be running and ball ANNUAL TAX SALE OF PROPERTIES DELINQUENT Lands delinquent for real property taxes of 1977, and prior years are scheduled to be offered for sale by thTHeheaC sleotguinalgtyds eT sorcenria pM stiuoArneY rofa6 pt ,rt1ohp9ee 8rCt0ioe.us rt House in: o be offered for sale will be publish MARCH 26,1980 and APRIL 2,1980 in the Hastings Banner, HaSsttiantges,T Mreicahsiugra wu w .u Lansing, Michiga games with the other children, and that they would bring along their electronic games, too. (He lives in a world of beeps and blips, buzzes and quick-fingered competition over tiny computer lights and but­ tons.) The weekend did indeed turn out to be significant for each ofus. Listening to these members of Congress wrestling with their common frustrations clarified for me what kinds of internal and external pressures they confront daily. They brainstormed with each other about how to make Congress more efficient and responsive. At one point, Howard explained to the others that, for him, just the scheduling of floor voting at a regular time every afternoon, as it was done when he was in the Michigan state Legislature, would help alleviate the conflicting demands on his workday. Morning office work, appointments, and especially committee hearings could proceed without irritating, timewasting interruptions for quorum calls, etc. Witnesses for committee hearings wouldn’t have to stretch their one hour presentations over two days to ac­ commodate fourteen roll call votes. The weekend discussions moved from the nitty-gritty of a more efficiently ad­ ministered Congress to the in-depth briefings and analyses on the issues that are banner headlines in our daily newspapers. I listened as each congressperson there shared an expertise on the issues from the vantage point of a House committee assign­ ment. Congressman Bob Carr from Lansing, who sits on the Armed Services committee, talked and an­ swered questions about the complexities of our defense situation as it relates to the Persian Gulf. Howard and others fielded questions on our energy dilemma.

But two things, from my observations, seem to help keep these particular representatives going, first, they are in constant touch with the people back home They go home almost every weekend. They set up town meetings to listen to con­ stituent concerns and ideas. They encourage people to become active participants in working for democracy's goals. And, secondly, they somehow keep a. sense of humor about life (Congressman Bob Edgar, i Methodist minister from Pennsylvania, punned about “energy litreship.” During a discussion about the new effort to push the con­ struction of the controversial B-l bomber, Edgar asked the key question, “To B or not to B?”), and more importantly in that regard they can laugh easily at themselves. Atlanta’s Congressman Wyche Fowler-a raconteur supreme in the southern oral tradition-told us about a phone conversation he had when he was a newly arrived freshman in Washington, D.C. Caller: ‘‘Hello, Congressman Fowler, I’m a constituent of yours and I want you to know that my garbage hasn’t been picked up in weeks.” Fowler: “I appreciate your calling me, but I think the person you really want to talk to is not your Congressman, but your garbage supervisor.” Caller: “I thought of that, Congressman, but I didn’t think I should start at the top.” We Wolpes, of course, had our own tales of less-thanglory to tell: There was the little raccoon that took a liking to Howard one day and followed him up the street, campaigning door to door with him. There was the day that the Wolpe campaign van made its untriumphant entrance into a small townon the hook of a tow truck. And there was the time that a preoccupied H. Wolpe walked up to an elevator door-and knocked! The wonderful weekend ended all too soon, even though I returned to D.C. with a bruised and swollen hand from-unmittingly!trying to stop one of Michael’s fast balls. For Howard the retreat has meankan ongoing support group of like-minded members of Congress who continue to meet together each week. For both of us there is a renewed feeding of optimism, of commitment. We came back with new perspectives on the issues, and with deeper attachments, in friendship and respect, to these particular representatives who are working hard to find solutions to the enormous problems we face at home and abroad in energy, in­ flation, unemployment, and peacemaking.

The conference brought 4­ H leaders, Michigan Part­ ners members and in­ terested teens together to exchange ideas about how to get more people involved in the Belize and Dominican Republic Partners program. Mrs. Ross is a member of the Michigan Partners and spent 10 days during February in Belize. “The participants discussed how to motivate people and how to get them enthused about becoming involved in the Partners program,” Ms. Diuble says. In addition, workshops covered the future of the program, fund raising and how to get involved. There were also a general brain­ storming session. A highlight of the weekend was the two international meals, featuring typical Dominican Republic and Belizean foods.

STATE SONG? The House has approved HB 5228, which designates “Water Wonderland” as the official state Michigan song. This bill is now in the Senate, Although we have a state flower, fish, bird, tree, stone and gem, we do not yet have a song. ENROLLMENT DROP - The Department of Education has reported that Michigan school enrollments have dropped by over 300,000 students over the past eight years, with most of that coming from the state’s ten largest school districts. ■ SEXUAL HARASSMENT - The Michigan Civil Rights Commission has ruled that a woman who quit her job because of continued sexual harassment is entitled to back pay and damages just as if she had been illegally fired. This is the first state case in which a female employee has gained this kind ofj udgement and sets a precedent for future cases. LICENSE FEES - The Senate will soon consider HB 4822, which would increase hunting and fishing licenses in order to make up an expected shortfall in the fish-and-game fund. Resident game licenses would increase by $1 in 1980 and another $1 in 1981; fishing licenses would also go up by a $2 total. Non-resident licenses would increase by $5, $10 and $35. ROUND NUMBERS - The 1000th Senate bill of this Session, introduced in mid-February, would provide for the Director of Labor to establish a fee schedule for electricians’ licensing fees. The 1000th House bill was introduced last September and would provide the Department of Agriculture with more flexibility in allocating horse racing money. SCHOOL FLU - The State Health Department has suggested that counties with flu-caused absenteeism running around 15 to 20 percent should consider closing school for a week or two to decrease the spread of the disease. Local health officers are reviewing with schools. PARTY DEADLINES - Although the deadline has passed for signing up to participate in the Democratic presidentialnominating caucuses, those interested in participating in the Republican national-delegate selection process have until March 28 to file for Precinct Delegate..

The Jr. Lions lost the first game 12­ 15, and the score was 6-14 in the second game, when the girls pulled it together and scored 10 points while holding Centrall scoreless to win 16-14. The third game was won 15-2. The J.V. Team had a 6-0 record before they suffered their first loss to Vestaburg. From there the Lions ran their record to 9-1. At this point the Lions had sole possession of first place. This is the time when sickness hit. The team became weak, and with the loss of Melissa Coffman (the teams best spiker) for the remainder of the season, hurt the J.V.’s. Three tough losses on the road to Carson City, Lakeview, and Saranac, dropped the Jr. Lions to a 9-4 record and to second place. The girls gathered their skills and finished the season with 3 wins to finish in 2nd place in the league with a 12­ 4 record behind Carson City with a 13-3 record. Coach Tait says that the good season was due to the fact that the girls had ex­ cellent serving capabilities, complimented with good defense, which allowed the team to always stay close in every game, and to have the capability to come from behind. Many of the girls spent extra time working on and eliminating their weaknesses, and never wanted to cut practice early. Mr. Tait would like to thank the girls for the fine season, and is looking for­ ward to coaching the J.V.’s next year.

For students at Fuller Street and Kellogg Schools, every time they read at home for fun (not for school work) that time is recorded on a special tally sheet. When a student accumulates the target time for his grade level, Librarian Inez Hubka awards that person a certificate. Target times for the various levels are six hours for the first grade; seven hours for the second grade; eight hours for third; nine hours for fourth: ten hours for fifth; and eleven hours for sixth. Among those who were awarded certificates at Fuller were (first row, left) Krintin Dean, Jeff Butler, Jody DeGroot, Kim Harris, Kyle Martin (second row) Emily Butler, Andy Losik, Ryan Rosin, Jennifer Thornton, Lee Ossenheimer, Cindy Hansen, Dawn Lundquist, and Matilde Walliczek. Hope Christie also received a certificate but was absent when the phbto was taken. Third and fourth grade reading achievers were (front row, from left) Angela Millious, Shawn Vickers, Lori Smith, Robbie Loy, Scott Tobias (second row) Nena Crabtrqe, Faith Schilz, Tracy House, Heather Hummel, Kim Bahs, Michelle Piper, Lisa Endsley, and Jodi Spidel. (Maple Valley News photos by Virginia Alles) Nashville may be spruced up for Spring, according to plans laid last Wednesday evening by the local Chamber of Commerce. At a dinner meeting at the Steak House Restaurant, the organization agreed to join a “Keep Michigan Beautiful” campaign by supporting a statewide Clean Up Month, proclaimed for April 19 through May 17. The Chamber decided to order 1,000 litter bags and place them with local merchants for distribution to the motoring public. “Although it may be a small effort, it will be something,” said Chamber President Charles Andrus, Jr. “If everyone in the state would take an-interest in the project, it could make a real difference” The Chamber also decided to appeal to community pride through news stories about the campaign. George Hefrminitt suggested that the village’s sanitary landfill might be opened each Saturday during the state campaign to encourage community residents to participate in the project by cleaning their yards and homes. Village President Harold Christiansen offered to act as a volunteer attendant at the landfill to save the village added expense of hiring help for the extra openings. Elaine Southworth suggested a community project of washing Main Street as part of the cleanup campaign. In other business, the Chamber agreed Wednesday to stage a special event to welcome contestants and their families who will be in Nashville over Fourth of July weekend to participate in a regional horseshoe pitching tournament at Putnam Park. An ap­ proximate 100 contestants from Michigan, Ohio and Indiana are expected for the 3-day event sponsored by the Wolverine State Horseshoe School board petitions available Receiving certificates at Kellogg were: (standing) Isabella Walliczek, Heather Christie, Donna Ashcraft, Lisa Hansen, Jennifer Lingoes, Elizabeth Ryan, Paul Bahs, Jeffrey Tobias, and Rick Allen, (seated) Michael Guthrie, Cheryl Zalewski, Denise Jarmen, and Laura Martin. Nominating petitions may be obtained at the office of the Superintendent of Schools by anyone interested in being a candidate for a position on the Maple Valley Board of Education. It is necessary that all petitions be filed with the Secretary, Board of Education, not later than 4:00 o’clock p.m., Monday, April 7, 1980. The term of Charles Viele expires June 30. Pitchers Association. The competition here is a warm-up for a Friendship Tournament set for the following weekend in Canada, where contestants from both countries will play. The participants in the Nashville meet are expected to arrive in campers, and many will stay in Putnam Park. According to plans discussed Wednesday, the Chamber may host a Saturday evening dinner at Putnam Park for the visitors. The July 5th event may be followed by a street dance in the downtown area for the general public as well as tournament contestants and their families. Ahmo Jordan agreed to investigate details of staging such a dance, and Rev. Leonard Putnam volunteered to check into arrangements for a dinner. Both will report back to the Chamber at April’s meeting of the organization. In other business, the Chamber heard Dave Mace, chairman of a Harvest Festival event committee, suggest three possible fudraisers that the group might undertake. Proceeds would be donated to the Riverside Recreational Development Corp., sponsors of the Sept. 19-20 festival, for their Community park project. Mace said the Chamber might consider a “dunk tank” as a good money­ maker. He also suggested a “hole-in-one” golf game or bingo, as potential events. The Chamber will meet on April 9, with Rep. Donald H. Gilmer (R-55th District) as the featured speaker. That meeting is open to the public with advance dinner reservation at the Steak House. Gilmer is expected to conduct a question-andanswer period following his address on topics of local interest. RRDC plans March 22 fund-raising dance Dennis Lamie, member of the Riverside Recreational Development Corp., posts notice of the upcoming Phase I Dance to be sponsored by the organization March 22 at the Nashville V.F.W. Hall. Lamie tagged the dance "Phase I' to signify that the community recreational park currently under construction by the RRDC has reached its first phase. The park on the banks of the Thornapple is being built with federal and state grants, plus a "local share" which amounts to a lot of backbreaking work by the committee. Various RRDC-sponsored events have helped raise local funds for the park development, and the upcom­ ing Phase I Dance is part of that ongoing effort. Tickets for the dance will be available at the door for $2 single or $3, couple. Music will be furnished by Larry Schaub spinning discs of the 50's and 60's from his 1,200-plus record collection. (Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) �The Mople Volley News Nashville Wednesday March 19, 1980 — Page 2 Nashville News Let’s hope it takes less than political rebellion and a mysterious illness to put Nashville on the map, but both made state news last week, putting our village in the limelight. A Gannett News Service story by Pat McCarthy told of local governments using the 1978 Headlee Amendment to challenge state - mandated programs. A provision of that law prohibits Michigan from mandating new programs without sending funds along to cover the expense. As reported recently in the Maple Valley News, Nashville officials decided to advise the state’s Dept, of Public Health that the village cannot afford to comply with that agency’s request for a Water System Contingency Plan at the estimated cost of $3,700 to $3,900. The plan is basically an outline of duties of designated individuals who would be responsible for protecting Nashville’s public water system in the event of disaster. McCarthy cited Nashville as one instance of a local government challenging the mandate clause of the Headlee Amendment. In other news, the strange flu-like illness that has plagued our area may bear the name of Nashville, after recent testing by the Michigan Dept, of Public Health, which failed to identify the contagion as any known flu virus. According to a story by Jan Corey Arnett, published by the Battle Creek Enquirer & News last week, Dr. Edwin Larkin, medical director of the Barry-Eaton District Healthy Dept, suggested the Nashville'tag. Arnett wrote: “Larkin said there are may strains of the flu, each named after the area in which it is first identified. He suggested that this illness might be designated a Nashville strain, because much of his sample work for study by the state was gathered in the Nashville area.” Mr. and Mrs. Carl Tobias of Nashville hosted a dinner Sunday in honor of the 17th birthday of their daughter, Laurie. Present in addition to the Tobias family were Mrs. Leola Smith of Hastings, Mrs. Clarie Tobias, and Gertrude Tobias, both of Nashville.

A longtime Nashville area resident, Ray and his wife; the former Ellen Philbrook, had resided in the Clark Memorial Home in Grand Rapids for seven years before returning to Barry County last month. Ray came to Nashville in the early 1930’s and •was a far­ mer until he retired and moved into the village from his Guy Road farm. He was an active member of the former North Maple Gove Evangelical United B re them Church, where he taught Sunday School for, 25 years. Ray was a Army veteran, having served with the U.S. forces in France during World War I, where he was a victim of poison gas. His wife and three step-children, plus several step-grandchildren, are his immediate survivors. The Council on Ministries of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 18, at the church, to be followed by an 8 p.m. meeting of the Administrative Board. It must have been just like “old home week” for several Nashville “snowbirds” who were among the ap­ proximately 130 persons attending the annual Barry County picnic held at Bradenton, Florida, on February 27. In addition to a noon potluck dinner at the Kiawanis Hall there, the group enjoyed musical entertainment by the Coach­ men, a vocal organization of twenty men between the ages of 65 and 96 from the Coach House Mobile Home Park. Door prizes for the picnic were donated by several Nashville mer- chants. In addition, the Nashville Maple Syrup Association furnished maple syrup as gifts for the event. Just like a taste of home! Many folks at the Nash­ ville Senior Citizens Nutrition Site have been confined at home recently by the flu and other related .ailments. Among them are: Verna Frederick, Fern Hawblitz, Elsie Ramsey, Edith Jones, Arlie Stam­ baugh, and Site Supervisor Clara Pennock. Sorry to see so many ill now and so many empty chairs at the site dinner. We wish them all a quick recovery and speedy return to the daily meetings. Rev. E. F. Rhoades of Nashville was taken very ill quite suddenly last week Wednesday and was tran­ sported to Pennock Hospital by the Nashville ambulance. At this writing, he was un­ dergoing various tests to determine the cause of his illness. We wish him a quick return to good health. It was unknown how long he must be confined. Congratulations are in order for four young people who represented our com­ munity in a recent District Eight Junior High Honors Band concert at Kinawa Middle School in Okemos. A weekend of preparation led up to a 3 p.m. Sunday per­ formance attended by parents and friends of the 190 participating students from 34 Michigan school districts.

Our recent “Memories” story about the late Frank Russell, and the humorous item from Howard Brumm about the regulator clock in the watch repair window at Von Furniss’ drug store, brought several fond com­ ments and recollections. One was from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin. He remembered the noon whistle sounded by Russell at the waterworks plant precisely at 12 each day. “Out in the country, that was our signal to leave our work in the fields to go to the house for our noon meal,” wrote Meade, who lived northwest of Nashville. “Folks set their watches by it.” The railroads provided another source of audible time in those days. “We also listened fortrain whistles at Greggs Crossing,” added Meade. “There was one around noon, another around 4 in the afternoon, one about 8 in the evening, and another around midnight.” Kenneth Meade also ex­ pressed interestin the recent “Memories” on Nashville’s early settlement. “Lois Batcheller of NHS Class of 1921 once presented a paper on the history of Nashville to the high school assembly,” he noted. ‘ ‘Some ofthe things 4 in your Memories article I remember from her paper. Seems that she said Nash­ ville was once known, too, as ‘Hanchett’s Mill.’.” In our storjr, based on recollections written in 1903 by the late E. J. Feighner, we had said early settlers called Nash­ ville “Forest City” because of the dense growth of trees Sunday School ... 10 a.m.Sunday School ... 10 a.m. Church School ... 10 a.m.Sunday: Sunday: Church Worship.. 11a.m. A.M.

The Charles Hancett family__were here when the Feighner family arrived in 1854. In fact, the Hancetts, who lived in a log cabin near the present-day old water­ works building in Putnam Park, were the Feighners’ only white neighbors. The Hanchetts had a saw mill on the north side of the river, so Meade’s recollections may very well be accurate. The only “nickname” for the village that Feighner mentioned in his early story was “Forest City.” Nash­ ville received its proper name in 1865. Incidentally, part of Kenneth Meade’s recollections on the Hannemann Dry Goods Store, printed in this column last week, were garbled in publication. What intrigued Kenneth as a young boy were not the “tape measured yard goods,” as the item read, but “the tape measures or yard sticks built into the edges of the wood-topped tables where they measured yard goods.” The Hannemann story brought many fine comments, and we thank all for sharing their thoughts. Mrs. Mildred Morris of Nashville paid us a supreme compliment when she phoned last week to suggest that we publish the “Memories” as a collection in book form.

Barry County Sheriff Dave Wood was at the Nashville Baptist Church on March 9 to speak at Sunday evening services about drug usage. Wood’s address was an in­ formational program aimed at parents, to make them aware of the problem from a Christian viewpoint and how to deal with it, based on Biblical teachings. During SheriffWood’s visit to the Nashville Baptist Church, he had an op­ portunity to view the rather commodious “jail” recently installed in the vestibule to add a bit of humor to a current Sunday School at­ tendance campaign. Sunday School teachers who fail to meet an allotted, quota for class attendance each Sunday of the 6-weeks campaign, will find them­ selves garbed in black and white stripes and in­ carcerated for an hour during morning church services. The “jail” is placed adjacent to a glass wall dividing the auditorium and the vestibule, and with a public address speaker overhead, the culprits will still be able to enjoy the morning service. “Bus Sunday” March 16th kicked off the 6-weeks campaign at the Nashville Baptist Church, and “Vic­ tory Sunday,” April 20th, will conclude the event. Capping the attendance program will be a Friday night, April 25, victory celebration for church youngsters, grades 3 through 6, who attended Sunday School during the campaign and brought along visitors. Movies and games at the church will highlight the Friday night celebration. Florida evangelist Wayne Swearingen and Virginia gospel singer Billy Speer will be at the church from April’ 19 through 23 for a 5-day evangelistic crusade to coincide with the conclusion of the program. A day of winter sports fun at Echo Valley near Kalamazoo is planned by college-age youths of the Nashville Baptist Church.

Following publication of Hough’s ar­ ticle, he was flooded with mail from admiring former pupils offering more in­ formation on “Dev.” Hough then learned that “Dev” himself had had a bout with cancer and undergone three major operations, yet without a complaint was still serving others. He also learned that for years “Dev” had aided under-privileged boys by letting them do taxidermy work at his home to earn college money and that he and Lois had often treated the boys to trips during spring vacation. Hough concluded it had been a privilege to meet Devereaux. He wrote: “Every one of us has a special teacher in our memory. It is pretty obvious that the name of E. E. Devereaux will linger in the memories of hundreds of Lansing area persons. I don’t know of a greater tribute.” POSTSCRIPT: After the Devereaux item was prepared for publication in the Nashville News column, Elizabeth Lynch called to say she had learned that Lois Devereaux had passed away last week at the Ingham Extended Care Facility.

Good Friday services for the Nashville area will be held in a combined service at the United Methodist Church.

Music will be furnished by the United Methodist choir. Rev.. Robert Taylor, Rev.. Richard Wadsworth, and Rev. Leonard Putnam will participate in the combined service. The business community is encouraged to attend the service. Host pastor Rev. Putnam expressed hope that the halfhour segments would make it easier for stores to rotate work shifts so that employees may attend at least one segment of the service. How many Nashville folks remember Ezra E. Devereaux? He was Superintendent of Schools in Nashville from about 1925 to 1931, according to Elizabeth (Gibson) Lynch, Class of 1929, who recently alerted us to a story about “Dev” carried in the Lansing State Journal. In his column “The Onlooker,” staff writer Jim Hough told of meeting an elderly man each day at the same bus stop. With ap­ parently typical reporter curiosity, Hough finally asked the old gent about himself. As it turned out, he was Ezra E.

FOUR CONVENIENT LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU HOME OFFICE - CHARLOTTE, MICHIGAN Nashville, Michigan - Eaton Rapids, Michigan - Olivet, Michigm �The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Wednesday, March 19, 1980 — Page 4 Memories of the pas “The M. E. Church is house cleaning, painting and brushing up, thus getting ready for a determined onset against the impurities and wickedness of the Evil One during the coming year,” announced the Nashville News in mid-September 1878. The church was prepared but, three years later, that house of worship would burn and be replaced by a magnificent Gothic­ style brick church that still stands today, and which will soon mark its centennial year. The church building being readied by the Methodist in 1878 was a frame structure built in 1869, just three years after Rev. J. H. Richards, a Methodist minister from Kalamo, preached the first church service ever held in Nashville. That first worship was conducted in a partially built grist mill owned by the Mallet family. After Richard’s 1866 service, Mr. and Mrs. Minor Mallet, Mr. and Mrs. E. M. Mallet, and George Gregg formed a Methodist society and became its five charter members. The group met in various impromptu quarters until a frame structure was built on the southeast corner ofzthe Washington-State Street intersection. But, before long, tragedy struck. “The M E. Church was badly damaged by fire Monday forenoon,” advised the News the last week of November 1880. “Un­ fortunately the fire engine refused to work, and a water pail brigade struggled for an hour before the flames were subdued.” The damage amounted to several hundred dollars, and there was no insurance. Soon church trustees were meeting to decide whether to attempt to repair the building or erect a suitable new edifice, as the society had felt the need of a new church for some time. With the aid of his congregation, Rev. A. D. Newton helped the trustees reach their ultimate decision. “The Methodist society is considering construction of a fine new brick church to replace their frame building recently damaged by fire,” reported the News in early December 1880. “The Rev. A. D. Newton spent a few days circulating a petition and obtained pledges totaling over $1,800, as a start on a building fund.” The old frame church was sold to the village and moved to Main Street where it served many years as a town hall, fire station, and one­ time jail. Ground was broken the last week of April 1881, for the new M. E. Church to be located on the same site as the old structure. Rev. Newton; C. Ainsworth and D. N. Brice comprised the force that did the first half day’s work on the project. By mid­ May, masons had begun the foundation walls for the new church. “We have seen the cut and plans for the new building and do not hesitate to say that when completed it will be an honor and a credit to the village,” boasted the • NOTICE • “PARADE APPLICATIONS ARE NOW BEING ACCEPTED for the 40th Annual Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Par­ ade to be held SATURDAY, APRIL 26, 1980.

The northwest corner will be embellished with a tower 90 feet high.” By mid-June 1881, brick work on the new church had commenced. At the same time, Elder Philip Holler, of the Advent Church, was raising the framework on his new grist mill on the east bank ofthe Thornapple. That structure, like the' church, would become a Nashville landmark. Despite 100 degree tem­ peratures in July, work continued to progress rapidly on the Methodist Church. By mid-July, brick work on the walls had reached above the top of the doors and windows, but early. August brought an "unex­ pected setback. “The Methodists are out about a hundred dollars arid work on the new church has been delayed by weeks, as the result of a fire Wed­ nesday,” informed the News. “More than 5,000 feet of basswood finishing lumber to be used in the structure had been placed in a drying-kiln bn the church grounds, and too hot a fire in the stove being used, caused the lumber to ignite.” Not a stick of the trim wood was saved. Another misfortune befell Nashville that same first week of August 1881. Local authorities condemned the old wooden bridge spanning the millpond, and declared that anyone crossing it did so at their own risk. Travelers with loaded wagons were advised to ford the Thor­ napple River just below the dam. Day by day, the new Methodist Church assumed proportions of magnificence, with the immense bell tower proclaimed to be a thing of beauty. , In late October, the Methodists ordered for their new steeple a 1,000 pound bell from the Buckeye Bell Fifty years ago we quietly introduced the first portable chain saw to the world.

NASHVILLE HARDWARE 105 NORTH MAIN STREET, NASHVILLE PHONE 852-0713 Built in 1881, Nashville's Methodist Church looks much the same today as it did in this about-1910 photo, though the upper portion of the 90-foot bell tower is now gone and a community house is attached to the south side of the building. The Gothic-style brick structure replaced a fire-damaged frame church- that was moved to Main Street for use as Nashville's old town hall and fire station. Foundry in Cincinnati. That same week,'Elder Holler’s new grist mill went into operation. Temporary repairs hatl been made to the nearby wooden bridge, but it soon would be replaced. So was the new Methodist bell. Found not to be satisfactory in every respect, it was replaced five months later with a bell of larger proportions and better grade. By November 1st, an at­ tractive new vane had been placed atop the steeple of the new Methodist Church, and the scaffolding removed. Dedication services for the new house of worship were held November 27, 1881. “The Methodists, whose church building burned down a year ago, today dedicated their new Gothic-style brick church,” observed the News: " An-inspection of the interior clearly demonstrates the edifice is erected on a common-sense plan and that nothing is wasted. The auditorium alone will seat 275 persons and Rev. H. M. Joy _of Grand Rapids remarked that .it is the easiest room to articulate in that he has ever seen.”But dedicating a magnificent $5,200 church was not all that occupied the Methodist congregation that month. “The Methodist Church Fair is in full blast at the Opera House; with the avowed intention of raising one hundred dollars before the end of the week, toward the pastor’s salary,” advised the News in mid-November. Various such benefits were a common means of the early church to bolster a dwindling budget. Proceeds of ‘.‘donation events,” as they were called, were frequently used to pay the preacher. Attendance was good at the affairs, which often featured a supper prepared by the ladies of the church. An account of one such event in February 1877 shows that 155 tickets were sold at 40 cents each for the benefit of the pastor, Rev. C. G. Thomas. More than a quarter century later, such doings were still a popular way for Methodists to solve a financial' crisis. “In an attempt to raise the back salary due the minister, the stewards of the M. E. Church will present a humorous entertainment at the Opera House Thursday evening,” advised the News in late May 1903. “Admission price is 20 cents.” Apparently the means were successful, as the Rev. C. Jeff McCombe was pastor of the Methodist Church in 1916, when a major addition was made to house classrooms, kitchen and dining facilities. The Methodists built a parsonage east of the church in 1907. church continued to thrive. And slightly more than a quarter century after the new house of worship was dedicated, a home for the pastor was built on an ad­ jacent east lot. “The Methodist parsonage has been completed and the work of grading the ground around it is nearly com­ pleted,” reported the News in early May 1907. “The painters have,their part of the work - nearly finished, and it will soon be occupied by Rev. Way and family. The residence is modern in every particular and makes an elegant ap­ pearance.” The church grew with the times. In 1916, a “church house” was added to the south side of the main structure, to hold Sunday School rooms, a kitchen and dining room. In 1929, the Lentz family presented the 'church with beautiful stained glass windows. Furnishings were modernized from time to time. A golden observance occurred at Thanksgiving time, 1931, when November 29th services followed the Thursday holiday. “A large cqngregation'* gathered Sunday at,the Methodist Church to unite in a service of song and prayer and to celebrate the 50 th anniversary of the church,” noted the .News. The Methodists had much to be thankful for. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, March 19, 1980 — Page 5 Citizens of the week Emily Butler, Jay Kelly, Angie Smith, Richard Meade, Tim Allwardt, and Donna Jean Ashcraft have been selected for citizenship awards this week at Fuller Street and Kellogg Elementary Schools in Nashville.

She received her master of music degree, in 1979, from the Jul liard School and was honored with a two year teaching fellowship at. Julliard. mean Ernie’s been forgot­ ten. The local chamber of commerce and the village council are planning a community shindig to honor Ernie for his service. They’ve invited the whole town to join in the party — a potluck dinner at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 22 in the Vermontville Fire Barn. Village President Vernon Trowbridge praises Ernie’s performance record. “In an emergency situation, whether it was a water main break, a blizzard, or ice — it could be two o’clock in the morning or Christmas Day — Ernie was always willing to help. That’s the type of guy he was,” comments Trowbridge. Ernie’s congeniality is another trait community residents admire. Trowbridge said, “He (Ernie) was always friendly. He always had a minute for the kids on the street or for the senior citizens who needed help. “The village will miss him (Ernie) as a maintenance man just because of all those little extras he use to do,” he said. Ernie admits to having a special place in his heart for the town’s senior citizens. “I always tried to give them top priority,” he says. There are a tremendous amount of other' duties besides fixing a broken water main in the middle of the night or plowing snow at 4:3b a.m. so his fellow citizens could get to work. “The average gp person doesn’t realize the work that has to be done in a small town,” comments Ernie. Streets always require maintenance no matter what the season. The sanitary sewers constructed during Ernie’s tenure brought new duties for him too. The village’s water department came under Ernie’s jurisdiction, and that meant when a citizen neglected to pay his water bill, Ernie was the guy who had to shut the water off at a home. “I hated that,” he says. All the other aspects of the job were challenging and rewarding to him, he comments. The big blizzard of 1967 still stands out in Ernie’s mind. “By george, that was a pistol. I spent 23 hours in that scraper truck. I had the streets (in the village) all clean, but nobody could go anywhere,” he muses. Folks who recall that blast of winter’s fury will remember that major highways remained plugged with snowdrifts for several days in some spots that year. Keeping ditches clean was a continual task in order to prevent the drains from becoming plugged. But, he says, ditches seem to be a favorite place for folks to rake their leaves so the job goes on and on. In years past, prior to stringent regulations (mandated by the state) controling the village’s emergency services, Ernie says, “When the fire whistle blew, I took off with either the fire truck or the am­ bulance. In those days, Ernie drove the ambulance if he was needed and responded to house, barn, and grass fires with the local volunteer department. He also took pride in seeing that the weedss were cut down in areas like the village park and historical opera house. For that task, he had the help of another person, and between both men, the lawns on village property were well manicured. “I also worked closely with the schooljanitor. He mowed the ballfields and I kept the school roads scraped.” Maple Syrup Festival time always brought many chores for Ernie as the village geared up to prepare to host thousands of guests at its annual celebration. “That’s the time of year I run around in circles tearing out my hair,” he laughs. Three or four extra workers were hired to help make all the preparations for the festival, but there were still pangs of mental stress just co-ordinating the work and seeing that nothing was overlooked, he said. Getting ready for the big April event, in part, includes staking out the streets for the parade route, blocking off some of the streets, setting up electrical circuits for booths, roping off areas for 'Concessions and amusement rides, and handling num­ berous other duties. When Ernie first took the job of village maintenance man, he sometimes would consult his predecessor, Lawrence Thrun, for advice. “If anything went wrong, I always had good cooperation from anyone I contacted,” he said adding that main­ tenance departments in Nashville and Bellvue plus the water department in Hastings were helpful for special advice. “In my book, one hand shakes the other one. -You can’t do it all yourself. “This town has been good to me,” says Ernie who hails from Charlotte. Of that community, he comments, “It was a good town, but its grown too big. Ernie’s late mother, the former Ruth Hess, was a native of Vermontville. When she and Ernest Leroy Dies (who was always called Roy) were married, they lived in Vermontville for a time before moving to Charlotte. Leona Rogers, one of Ernie’s sisters, says their father used to be called “the Mayor of Vermontville” but she said the reason why he was given that honorary title was never passed down to her. He came to Ver­ montville from Ohio, she said. Leona also said her parents use to live in the home that is now the Carter residence in Vermontville. Ernie and his wife, Pauline, and children moved to a home about 3% miles from Vermontville in 1962. About four years ago they moved to a house on S. Main; The couple’s children number eight and there are 10% grandchildren, says Ernie as he displays his sense of humor in telling of another grandchild that is on the way. Six sons and two daughters comprise the lot: Bill of Nashville, Rodney of Bellvue, Steve of Virginia, Chuck of Olivet, and Pat and Dennis, both of Ver­ montville. Daughters are Cheryl Ann of Vermontville and Mrs. Pamela Woodriff of Arizona. Ernie was a milk hauler for many years —18 of them for Miller’s Dairy Farm. Ernie remembers vividly when the old-fashioned milk cans, that are collectors’ decorating items now, were actually used to haul milk. In 1943, the Army beckoned and Ernie served three years with the artillery division, spending time in the Phillipines and Korea. For several years, he worked at Lovell Implement Co. in Charlotte, painting and delivering farm machinery. Then while reading the newspaper, Ernie spotted the ad about the village maintenance position’which lead to a brand new career. “I’ve had some very good Councilmen to work with and Vern has been a good mayor. He’s been my main boss all these years, and he always does a good job,” said Ernie. Interest in the village and its people will not be put to rest just because of Ernie’s retirement. He says he’d like to see more maple trees planted in the town and hopes that better blacktop streets can be a reality sometime in the future. Now that Ernie has more time on his hands, he looks forward to “shooting the breeze” downtown as well as fishing playing cards and pool and having the oportunity to “just do nothing’’ if he pleases.

He also reported that the Eaton Intermediate School District had reimbursed the Maple Valley Schools $37,779.48 covering twenty-five percent of the Special education costs for the 1978-79 school year. Total special education program costs for the past school year were $157,070.00. State reimbursement for these costs amounted to $37,617 which could be ad'justed some when the total costs for last year are computed at the state level. Bob Losik, in-school suspension room teacher, made a general presentation regarding the operation of this classroom covering such areas as how he obtains assignments from the regular classroom teacher and working with the in­ dividual student. He made reference to the amount of time spent with each student encouraging the student to improve his or her daily school work. Superintendent Wolff reported that the school district had been notified by the Michigan Department of Commerce Energy Administration that 102 projects had been approved for partial federal funding. The project submitted by Maple Valley covering windows at the Kellogg Elementary School was listed in the 121st priority out of 204 applications. The board members voted to have architects MansonJackson and Kane complete bid specifications for the windows, on the East side of Kellogg Elementary along with an alternate bid on the windows in the office area and the classroom above the office on the West side of the building. On a 4-2 vote contracts were extended one year for the school administrators without any action being taken regarding community school director Ernie Jacoby. Ernie has a contract through June 30,1981; and he had indicated that he is considering retirement at that time. All building principals have a two year contract and the superin­ tendent a three year con­ tract. Wayne Cogswell and Elam Rockwell voted nay. A resolution was approved calling the annual school election for Monday, June 9. Petitions are available at the administration building for anyone desiring to be a candidate for a position on the board of education. The term of Charles Viele ex­ pires June 30. All petitions must be filed with the Secretary, Board of Education, not later than 4:00 o’clock p.m., Monday, April 7, 1980. Approval was given the elimination of senior trips effective with the graduating class of 1984 which is ac­ tually this year’s eighth grade class. Jr.-Sr. High School cool principal Burr Hartenburg informed the board members of the amount of instructional time that teachers have to spend handling fund raising ac­ tivities along with problems related to the handling of these large sums of money. He also pointed out that the trips were becoming much more costly which has resulted in less than fifty percent of the students going on the senior trips in recent years. Board members Virginia Fox and Wayne Cogswell were not in favor of discontinuing senior trips. The board members voted to sell the 1977 Impala to Helen Barlow at a bid price of $1,176.00 which was the highest bid received. A general discussion was held regarding the general driving on the school lawns and the destruction at the Jr.-Sr. High School. It was decided to repair the lawn as soon as weather permits. Any information which anyone could supply school administrators or board members would be ap­ preciated in helping to control this destruction and allow action to be taken cont. page 11, col. 5 Engagements announced * Wood-Glass Cole-Rood Mr. and Mrs. Vance Cole of Charlotte are pleased to announce the engagement of their daughter, Nadine Rosalie to Daniel Jay Rood, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Rood of Charlotte.

(tfn) StSsS SsS have estimated that could cost Nashville ap­ proximately $900 per year. Nashville has been using the township hall for meeting quarters since September 1978, when it was deemed the village hall was too cramped for public meetings. The original agreement called for the village to pay no rent, but to foot half the electric bills for the hall and to clean it after use. “As we discussed earlier, the $900-plus they (the township) wanted per year was extremely exorbitant,” said Kienutske in drafting a counter offer Thursday. He said he had received several calls from township officials after their proposed rental fee had been made public last week.

Totally for the year, the Association lent out over $120 million to its members in the eight county area around Lansing, which it serves. This is the largest volume outstanding for the state of Michigan for the PCA’s of Michigan. The association services seven branches in an eight county area, which includes St. Johns, Ionia, Hastings, Charlotte, Mason, Corunna and Howell.

Nashville paid Castleton Township $288 for half the electric bills for the hall this past year. Castleton Township officials have said they are seeking the ad­ ditional reimbursement because of “wear and tear” on the building, in particular the carpeting. “We’U make this offer ($500 per year) to the township,” said ^Kienutske. “If they don’t accept it, we’ll go down there (to the old waterworks building).” To avoid the proposed rental fee, village officials had suggested moving meetings to a recently renovated waterworks building in Putnam Park. The village-owned building has been restored for use as a community hall. In other business Thursday the council: -Heard Russell K. Keech, Roy C. Obreiter, and Joyce E. Skedgell, officials of Farmers Home Ad­ ministration, outline a letter of conditions upon which the village must agree before grants and a loan from the federal agency can be ap­ proved for Nashville’s proposed $4.8 million sewer expansion project. After hearing the FmHA officials, the council agreed to meet requirements set forth in the letter of conditions; signed a request for obligation of funds; and designated the Nashville branch of Security National Bank of Battle Creek as the village bank for the project. -Agreed ta pay $450 to Donald Langham of Nash­ ville for 1968 repair of a sewer collection line on his property. —Signed an application with the Michigan Dept, of Public Health for permission to continue operation of the village sanitary landfill, which included a com­ mittment not to sell the dump property for 15 years after such time as use of it is discontinued. utapiftE SCHOOL Maple Valley Men's SLOW-PITCH• SOFTBALL• April 8, 15 & 22 7 P.M. - Room 1A At High School ALL LITTLE LEAGUE UMPIRES WELCOME I _ NOTICE of PUBLIC HEARING THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1980, at 7:00 P.M. at the Castleton Township Hall in Nashville.

SOURS, Secretary Nashville Zoning Board of Appeals �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, March 19, 1980 — Page 10 from our readers FROM OUR READERS The original agreement between the Village of Nash­ ville and the Township of Castleton for renting the Township Hall was as follows: The only charge to the village in the first year was to be one-half of the cost of electricity which is used for heat as well as lights. This cost or charge was to be reviewed at the end of that fiscal year because being a new building, the township officials had no way of knowing what cost would be involved as well as cost of maintenance on the building. Other stipulations included no smoking, the hall to be cleaned by the village when needed after use by the village, the Village Clerk to be responsible for the key, and township . voting machines could be used in village elections at no cost but must be set up for the election by Doubleday Bros. Co. This agreement was not reviewed at the end of the first fiscal year. After 18 months of sharing the hall with the' village, the Township Board asked for representatives from the village to be present at the regular township meeting on March 5. Village President Harold Christiansen was present at that meeting. After much discussion, it was agreed that Mr. Christiansen take the following proposal back to the Village Trustees for consideration. Because four regular meetings are scheduled by the village each month and other special meetings are an­ ticipated on the sewer project, it was proposed the charge for the first five meetings each month be $60. Each additional meeting would cost $15. If less than four meetings were held in a month, the cost would be $15 for each meeting. In other words, the fifth meeting in a month would be free. It was made clear to Mr. Christiansen that this was Auto Service CENTER QUALITY WORKMANSHIP • TRANSMISSION REPAIRS • BODY & BUMP SERVICE • WHEEL ALIGNMENT & BALANCING • TUNE-UPS & MUFFLERS • MAJOR OVERHAULS •BRAKES Trowbridge Service 130 S. Main St., Vermontville - Ph. 726-0569 not an ultimatum but only a starting point for negotiations. It was also made clear that all utilities, cleaning and maintenance of building and grounds and other costs would then be the sole responsibility of the township and not shared by the village. I might mention that the village charges the township about $90 per year for water and sewer. This will more than double by September when new rates go into ef­ fect. This cost has never been shared by the village even though the Village Trustees and other Village Boards use the hall at least four times to each single use by the township. The original agreement was not adhered to by the village. Onseveral occasions the township has vacuumed the carpet and did other housekeeping because the village failed to clean within a reasonable time after their use of the hall. For this and other reasons, the Township Board felt it more suitable to make a flat charge per meeting or something similar rather than share responsibilities. In response to the opening statement in the March 12th article, I wish to state as a taxpayer to the Village of Nashville, I doubt the con­ cern of the Village Trustees for the expense to the village taxpayers. In support of this statement, I have compiled the following information. In the last completed fiscal year (1978) the village levied taxes in the amount of $88,955. Of that, $10,465 was supposed to be paid on an old sewer debt and-or held in an account to be paid on same. Also, $52,327 was fof the general fund and $26,163 of your village taxes was levied for streets. Besides this revenue, the village received Federal Revenue Sharing and State Sharing Funds and other miscellaneous revenues. Over and above all this, the village received $34,138 for major streets and $10,917 for local streets from the State of Michigan. The village also charged the residents of Nashville for Community Events ...

The total from all sources of revenues to the township did not even ap­ proach the amount received from just property taxes alone by the village. Each individual can figure for themselves what services they received from the village that did not cost extra ' over and above taxes. Some more interesting information is this. The portion of the village in Castleton Township makes up only about 40 percent of the total assessed value of the township. The statement made by one Village Trustee that two-thirds of the people of Castleton Township live in the village and are already contributing tax dollars to support the hall is misleading. Only about 40 percent of the tax dollars received by the township comes from within the village. This 40 percent helps share in the cost of services provided by the township. I-have already mentioned the majority of revenues received by the village so now let’s consider the township revenues and services provided. The township received in the same fiscal year a total of $25,573 in property taxes of which one-half went into a separate fund voted for fire equipment. The township receives less than half the Federal Revenue Sharing and State Sharing Funds by . comparison with the village and does not receive a penny for roads. As for services provided for the tax dollars by both the village and township, each individual can decide for themselves which unit of government provides the most for the tax dollars collected. The township' provides a Board of Review for assessments for the village as well as the township. A building and voting machines are provided for primary and general elec­ tions. Two cemeteries are maintained and a third donated to. Support is given to Putnam Library also. A sanitary land fill is provided for all township residents at which a charge is made that covers less than one-half the cost of operation. The assessment roll of • the township, which includesmost of the village, is maintained at an expense to the township but at no cost to the village. One-half of all tax dollars collected by the township is held in a special account to pay two-thirds of the cost of fire equipment which includes the new tanker. None of the village revenues goes for this. School and county taxes are collected and dispersed by the Township Treasurer. All expenses such as printing, postage and- other involving the assessment roll and tax roll are paid for by the township. Improvements to the county roads in the township are paid from township funds. This amount varies from year to year according to the cost of each project and money available. In this current year, more than $46,000 was spent from township funds. Another interesting note for consideration is the fact there is only about 15 miles of streets in the village while the Township of Castleton has about 56 miles to help maintain and pay for all improvements on. Compare the figures I have given you on funds received by each unit that can only be spent on roads or streets. For streets, only the village collects more taxes than the total collected by the township for all purposes including fire equipment. One-third of the cost of operating the fire department comes from township funds. The township hall was built from money saved and set aside for this purpose over a period of years. Not a single penny of government grant, recreational funds or donations went into paying for it. There can never be any question about owner­ ship or right of use of this building. I will now leave it up to each individual taxpayer in the village and township as a whole to decide in their minds what is fair and also decide which unit of government squeezes the most from tax money and other funds received. Should the village, decide to move their meeting to another location, as a village resident and taxpayer, I will think it is a waste of my money. Considering everything involved, maybe it would be best if the meeting place of the village was moved unless there is drastic change in the policy of the Village Trustees. All residents of the village in the Castleton Township portion have the distinction of being residents of the township as well and therefore have the same privileges as other township residents when it comes to use of township funds. But the Village Trustees, even though residents of the township, have to consider the fact they are providing only for the village residents and property owners from the property taxes collected by the village and from Federal and State funds, amounts - of which are calculated from a formula using information from within the'boundaries of the village. The same formula is used to calculate Federal and State funds for the township but in most cases exclude figures from within the village. Therefore, in the light of this, no village funds or any taxpayers money paid to the village has been used to support the Castleton Township Hall. Sincerely, Justin W. Cooley, Supervisor Castleton Township Volunteer training session scheduled The public is invited to participate in a volunteer training for the Eaton County 4-H Special Han­ dicapper Riding program on Saturday, March 22, at the Meadowview School, 1790 E. Packard Hwy., Charlotte, at 2:00 p.m. According to Nancy Diuble, Eaton County 4-H Youth Agent, this session will include a film about the special riding program and instruction from 4-H special riding teacher Sherri Sass. The goal of the 4-H Special Handicapper Riding program is to teach riding skills, not just give a youth a ride on a horse. The Special riding program helps program helps physically, mentally and emotionally handicapped children participate in a sport usually limited to the physically hardy. And, perhaps for the first time, more independent of other people and mechanical aids. The program requires the help of many hands and volunteers are needed and always welcome. The March 22 session will be the kick-off meeting for the 1980 riding session. All interested persons are urged to attend. No previous experience with horses is required, only an interest and concern for the kids. Phone 945-9554 for Action Want-Ad!

Howard Wolpe has announced that two key sessions of the 3rd District Energy Conference to be held on Saturday, March 29, at Loy Norrix High School in Kalamazoo will be devoted to gasohol and related alcohol fuels. The sessions will feature Myron Reaman, the Executive. Director of the National Center for Ap­ propriate Technology in Butte, Montana. One session will be a policy workshop entitled “Agriculture and the Promise of Alcohol Fuels,” the other session will be a practical presentation on “The Production of Alcohol Fuels.” “During the pre­ conference planning sessions that were held throughout the Third District . in January,” Wolpe said “many Third Third District residents, especially. area farmers, expressed a serious interest in alcohol fuels. Alcohol fuels can play a very important role not only in displacing the imported petroleum that we are currently using for transportation, but also in developing a new market for agricultural products. I hope that through the energy conference sessions, which will combine the expertise of national and local alcohol fuel experts, we can begin to make some progress in that direction right now in the Third District.” Participants in the policy workshop,, in addition to Reaman, will include Bill Davis of the Federal Bureau 517-726-0036 Both Putnam Public Library in Nashville and the Maple Valley school library received beautiful reference books on the American Civil War, Saturday, as a gift from Carl's Market. The presentation was made by Jeanette Joseph (center). She and her husband, Donald, owners of Carl's Markets, which has stores in Nash­ ville, Potterville and Olivet, received the volumes recently for making a donation to the U. S. Olympic Committee. The Josephs' contribution helped fund American participation in the recent XIII Olympic Winter Games held at Lake Placid, N.Y. Published by Hornsey-Simon Production Co. of Oklahoma City, the book, entitled "The Real American Tragedy," traces the 1861-65 war between the states "as never told before." An interesting feature is a pocket in the back of the volume which holds an itemized listing of the cost of the Civil War plus a detailed map showing battlefield locations, with a brief synopsis of each conflict. Accepting the book for Putnam Public Library was Janet Kellogg, assistant librarian (on right). Virginia Fox, Maple Valley School Board trustee, accepted the volume on behalf of the school library. (Maple Valley News photo) of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms; and a representative from the Farmers Home Ad­ ministration. The moderator will be Neal Rogers, a far­ mer from Eaton County.

By Susan Hinckley Steam rolled from the sugar shanty in Putnam Park on the first day of spring, as volunteers and members of the Nashville Syrup Association sought to catch up with the sweet maple harvest. “We had three weeks of winter weather when we should have been having syrup weather,” said Harold Christiansen, president of Nelson Brumm drains freshly-made syrup from canning tank into colorful, distinctively marked containers. NSA syrup is.sold in sizes ranging from gallon to half pint. Harold Christiansen uses a wooden scoop to skim sediment off the syrup as it boils in gas-fired evap­ orator. Steam from the churning liquid fills the sugar shanty with a heavenly aroma. Harold has headed the NSA for 13 years and been an active volunteer worker. the NSA for the past 13 years and an active volunteer worker in the annual com­ munity project. ,, Syrup weather is freezing nights and thawing days. The daily rise and fall in temperature starts the sap flowing. The late winter blast we recently ex­ perienced has slowed the sap this year, Christiansen explained. However, by Thursday night the NSA had produced approximately 300 gallons of syrup in the 1980 season. Most of it has already been sold at $17 per gallon, some of it to out-of­ state buyers who have stopped by the sugar shanty. “Twenty half-gallons of our syrup is on its way to Georgia,*’ noted Christiansen. The syrup was purchased by a traveling salesman as a treat for his customers. “He got those folks down in Georgia who were used to sorghum to try maple syrup,” commented Christiansen. “Now they don’t like sorghum.” The, salesman, like many visitors to the sugar shanty in Putnam Park, was a repeat customer. A trip to Nashville to buy syrup is a traditional spring outing for many folks from various parts of Michigan as well. Sunday, two ladies from Marshall were in town, stopped by the shanty and purchased syrup to take to Dallas, Texas, Christiansen' said. (NSA-made syrup is also available at four other Nashville locations: Carl’s Supermarket, Simon Pharmacy, Security National Bank and Chaffee’s Locker Plant). Interest in the syrup­ making process seems to be It’s running international in scope. “We’ve had visitors from all over the world,” notes Christiansen. He enjoys browsing through a guest register at the shanty in which visitors over the years have recorded names and addresses. It reads like a world trip itinerary: Holland, Sweden, (Germany, Africa, JEorea. “Many of them were foreign exchange students,” remembers Christiansen. All were fascinated with the unique process of extracting the rich syrup from gallons of watery sap. Boiling down of the sweet nectar seems to require a special knack that comes with years of experience. Christiansen is aided in the task by faithful volunteers, Earl Hose; Nelson Brumm and Eldon Day. The torch has been passed to them from early workers of many past years who are now gone cr in less-than-perfect health for the strenuous job. Nashville’s community syrup-making project is a money maker, but at the heart, it is really a labor of love. It’s been that way stare 1942 when local volunteers tapped 1,000 village trees and pitched in to reap the sweet harvest, to counter a wartime sugar shortage while earning money for community playground equipment. They did so at the urging of then-retired Nashville News editor and publisher, Len W. Feighner, who had been pushing for the project since World Whr I. Each succeeding year, new ways to use the proceeds for community benefit prompted a repeat per­ formance, and the sap bucket was passed from generation to generation. Today, young Cub Scouts collecting sap from 700 tapped village trees are third generation from the FFA lads who gathered sap 38 years ago in the original project. But “oldtimers” are still needed to see to the proper boiling down and canning process. “It’s very satisfying work," says Christiansen. “But I’m going to try to take a little less active part in it from now on.” However, Christiansen’s kind of dedication isn’t easily put aside. “I wouldn’t know what to do in the spring if I couldn't come down here (to the sugar shanty),” he ad­ ded. Harold has seen all kinds of seasons from poor to excellent, including the tops in 1970 when ,1,200 gallons, of syrup were produced by the NSA. Last year, the organization made 525 gallons. Hopefully, devoted new volunteers will join in the annual project. Hours worked in each phase of the production are carefully tabulated, and at the end of the season, “wages” earned by each volunteer are donated to any club or non­ profit organization in the community which the worker designates. “Lots of folks don’t know about that,” says Earl Hose, an NSA trustee. He hopes that there will be more awareness of how the project works, and that any person who wants to earn money for a local club, church group or non-profit organization will feel free to volunteer. Anyone who is interested may contact Harold Christiansen at the sugar shanty. It there’s steam rolling from the chimney, you’re sure to find him there. Earl Hose strains the boiling hot syrup into the can­ ning tank through cloth sacks designed to trap any foreign matter. Earl is an NSA trustee. Sampling the warm, freshly-made produce, poured by Brumm, are from left: Terry Kellogg, Richard Meade, Larry Kienutske, Kenny Meade, and Paul Travis. (Richard,- Larry and Kenny, have been collecting sap this year, as members of Cub Scout Pack No. 3176). �jl? The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, March 26. 1980 — Page 2 Li Nashville News Congratulations to Harold S. Philp of Nashville who recently won $40,000 in the Michigan State Lottery on a 50-cent ticket he bought at a Richland store. Philp won the money in the Super Play game. For the past year, he has been buying two lottery tickets each week. Prior to that time, Philps and his wife bought tickets only oc­ casionally, and the most they had ever won was $5. Since his lucky break, Philp said he has learned that ap­ proximately 90 percent of the state lottery prize money is won by Detroit area folks because more tickets are sold there. It’s nice to have a big winner from Nashville. As far as we know, the only other local person to have claimed such a sizeable award from the state lottery is George Cogswell of rural Nashville. He won $50,000 a few years ago on a ticket he bought at the former Maker’s IGA store here.

Suzy is continuing to recuperate at home. Rev. E. F. Rhoades of Nashville was released Saturday, March 15, from Pennock Hospital in Hastings, where he had been confined due to a sudden illness. We are happy to report that he is now much improved. The Nashville ambulance was called out twice last week to one-care accidents. In both cases, the driver left the roadway, but in only one incident was transport required. The first occured Monday evening two miles west of M-66 on State Road. That motorist was taken to Pennock Hospital with ap­ parently minor injuries. The second mishap occured Thursday evening, about a half mile south of Three Bridge on M-66. No transport was necessary there. History repeats! When Maple Valley Schools were closed recently for illness, many folks conjectured that it may have set a precedent. Though winter weather and other havoc wrecked by nature has often been responsible for shutting down local educational facilities, not many people could recall it happening due to widespread illness in the community. However, we recently found that, at least in Nashville, it has happened before. In the last week of March 1926, there appeared this notice in the Nashville News: “With about half a hundred pupils absent because of influenza, throat infections and other ailments, school has been closed for two weeks.” One of the weeks, the story noted, would have been spring vacation anyway.

Green and three sons of Kalamazoo attended an Open House at Saranac, Sunday, in honor of the 43rd wedding an­ niversary of Mr. and Mrs. Moris Green. The event was held at the V.F.W. hall there. Now of Saranac, the Moris Greens are former residents of Nashville. Mrs. Bertha Becker of Nashville was in Battle Creek on Monday to attend a “get acquainted” dinner at the home of her son, Leon Doty, who hosted the event to have his family meet his future in-laws. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth (Bonnie) Williams and son, Chris, of Mattawan were Sunday callers on Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Tegel of Nash­ ville. Mr. Williams is a professor at Western Michigan University. Bonnie is a niece to Mrs. Tegel. Correction: Cheryl Keech of Nashville is in Australia on a 6-months study program, not 6-weeks, as appeared in this column last week. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Keech and a 1978 MVHS grad. Cheryl flew to the “down under” continent recently to enter a graduate course in Genetics at the University of New England at Armindale, temporarily leaving her Junior year studies at Michigan State University, where she is majoring in Dairy Science and Animal Husbandry. Cheryl would enjoy hearing from her friends back home. If you missed her new mailing address in last week’s paper, it is: Flat 27, Court St. Flats, University of New England,^ Armindale, New South Wales, Australia. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Dennis (Mary) Hay a rural Nashville on the birth of a daughter Monday, March 10. The new arrival has beep named Lezlie Joann. She weighed in at 6 lbs. 12 ozs. at Pennock Hospital in Hastings. Welcoming the little lady home last week were four adoring brothers: Jim, 13; Mike, 11; Steve, 5; and Jeff, By Susan Hinckley 3. Brenda Stringham and her 4-year-old daughter, Jessie, arrived in Michigan by bus from St. George, Utah, last week, and will spend a couple ofweeks with Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Hay and family of Nashville. Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rur­ al Nashville was a Sunday dinner guest of her neigh­ bors, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Irish. Friday, Mrs. Ram­ sey’s daughter, Mrs. Claudette Myers of Charlotte, accompanied her mother to Battle Creek for a day of shopping and lunch out. Spring arrived in glorious fashion last Thursday. With clear skies and tem­ peratures in the 60’s, who could ask for a better preview of the season? Good Friday observance for the Nashville area will be held in a combined service at the United Methodist Church froml to 2:30 p.m. on April 4. Rev. Robert Taylor, Rev. Richard Wadsworth, and Rev. Leonard Putnam will participate in the combined service, which is designed in three half-hour segments so that individuals may attend at convenient intervals if they are unable to stay for the entire program. The business community is encouraged to attend the service. Host pastor Rev. Putnam expressed hope that the half-hour segments would make it easier for stores to rotate work shifts so that employees may at­ tend at least one segment of the service. Music for the Good Friday service will be furnished by the United Methodist Choir. Maundy Thursday ser­ vices are set for 7:30 p.m. April 3 at the Nashville United Methodist Church. A “Spirit Walk” across the nation will reach our area on April 1, when Church Women United of Barry County take over a prayer that started on the East Coast on World Day of Prayer, March 7. Various branches of CWU have kept the prayer moving in a chain across the USA. It will culminate in California, where an Ecumenical Assembly of CWU is set for June 1980. The prayer seeks a blessing upon that meeting and upon the work of the CWU. Mrs. Amy Putnam of Nashville is president of the Barry Count chapter of Church Women United. George Vogt of Nashville was confined at Pennock Hospital a couple days last week, but is now home and doing well. Mrs. Caroline Jones of Nashville returned home recently after a week-long stay with her son and daughter-in-law, Robert and Hilda Jones of Battle Creek. Caroline enjoyed watching the Jones family train horses on their farm south of Battle Creek, and on Saturday she accompanied them on a shopping excursion to Kalamazoo. Mrs. Ednah McConnell, a former Nashville resident now of Battle Creek, remains confined to Lakeview General Hospital there, but is reported to be improving. Ednah is a sister to Mrs. Viola Beystrum of Nashville. “Frank Russell was a kind and special friend to me," wrote Adolph Douse, Jr., in a letter received last week. Adolph was commenting on a recent “Memories” story about Frank. As a boy,. Adolph’s family had lived next door to the Russell home on Phillips Street and he and his sister, Theresa, had been playmates of Frank’s niece and nephew, Helen and Hiram Woodard, who lived nearby. “I remember how he always rode his bcycle, and always had a clip on his right pant leg to keep it from catching in the chain,” remembered Adolph of Frank, “and how he came home at the same time every day for his meals.” Neighbors had said they could set their watches by Frank ppunctual Frank’s’s arrivals, according to in­ formation we recently SPECIAL PRIMARY ELECTION Notice is hereby given that a special primary election will be held in Vermont­ ville Township District 10, County of Eaton, State of Michigan on MONDAY, APRIL 7,1980 in the Vermontville Opera House for ONLY those VOTERS in COM­ MISSIONERS DISTRICT JO.

State, Nashville received from his niece, now Mrs. Helen Dille of Kent­ wood. Adolph also wrote that he had often thought over the years about how Frank had mowed the entire Putnam Park with only a hand mower, all alone, and also mowed Central and Depot parks for the village. Frank was a longtime waterworks engineer for Nashville, whose devotion to the job is almost legendary now. He also spent many hours tending Putnam Park, and Adolph recalled in his letter how Frank had built a flowing waterwheel when the first pool was installed there. Adolph Douse also had memories to share about the old regulator clock in the window of the Von Furniss Drug Store, about which former local resident Howard Brumm recently wrote in a remembrance of Frank Russell. “It was not a large watch, but a pen­ dulum clock called a timer,” wrote Adolph. “It hung on the wall on the north side, which we called the jewelry window.” Adolph started working in the drug store in 1924, later becoming a partner with Furniss and then sole owner. For many years, it was Adolph’s job to wind the weights on the 7-ft. tall clock every Saturday night before closing the store, so that the timepiece would run through another week. In those days, most men carried a pocket watch and they would stop by the drug store to check their timepiece against the pendulum clock in the window. “Even railroad men from Michigan Central, who came up town to eat at Mary Rev.

For 75 years, the clock hung on the north wall of the drug store, but in later years it became worn and was not as ac­ curate. When the Douses remodeled the store about 1960, Adolph sold the clock to a man in Bellevue. It now hangs on that fellow’s living room wall, wrote Adolph. Nearly as dear to Nash­ ville history is an imitation timepiece from the old drug store, and that item is still in Adolph’s possession. “Back in the early days of the drug store, there was a large pocket watch sign which hung on the front of the store to identify the jewelry and watch repair business” explained Adolph in his letter. “This sign looked just like a big pocket watch, with the face and hands painted on and a crown and ring in the top, just like a regular watch. I still have this old pocket watch sign as one of my keepsakes from the store.” Congratulations are in order for the “Old Timers” of the Nashville Chit Chat Club who whipped the “Young Bullies” of the local V.F.W. in a pool tournament Sunday, March 16. While the Old Timers took the main event, they let the Bullies win a consolation tour­ nament. Doug Ayles, owner of the North Main Street building where the Chit Chat Club meets and where the recent “shoot out” took place, advised Us that a revenge match will take place in the near future. Many folks may remember Mrs. Edna Kirn, who died March 14 at Whitewater, Wisconsin. Graveside services were held here Thursday, so that she could be laid to rest beside her husband, Rev. Frederick W. Kirn, who died during the Kirns’ 4-year residence in Nashville. They came to Nashville in 1958 when Rev. Kirn retired from active ministry in the former Evangelical United Brethren Church. He had held v&rious pastorates, including "Flint, St. Joseph, Kalamazoo, Bay City, Ann Arbor, and Detroit. While here, Rev. Kirn served as supply minister at the North and South Maple Grove EUB churches. The Kirns lived on Francis Street during their residence here. Rev. Kirn retired in 1961, and passed away the following year. Mrs Kirn then moved to Wisconsin, where a daughter still lives. She is survived by three daughters and one son. She is also survived by a rather famous sister, Rebecca Shelley of Battle Creek. The owner of Peaceway Farm, Rebecca has been a worldwide peace activist and author for many years, having traveled ex­ tensively for' the cause. She is now in her 90’s. Mrs. Kirn was 89 at her death. Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis of Nashville was in Lansing last Wednesday to attend funeral services for her brother, Peter Klont, a former local resident who The Maple Volley News, Nashville. Wednesday.

It started with an afternoon surprise party in Charlotte for Margaret’s aunt, Helen Tanner, who lives there. Next, the Reids called on their son Vernon Reid and family of Charlotte, in honor at his birthday. Later, the Reids attended a dinner party at Townsend’s Restaurant in Charlotte in honor of the birthday of Margaret’s sister, Mrs. Marjorie Schaperkatter of Grand Rapids. The event was staged by her husband, Harold. Also attending the affair were the Schaperkatter’s daughter, Nancy; Marjorie’s sister Jean Endsley and her husband, Walter, of Hastings; and Marjorie’s parents, Vere and Olive Robinson of Bellevue. Friday noon callers at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Reid of Nashville were their son and his family, Darrel and Karen Reid and boys, Sherman and Matt, of Kalamo. Evening guests were the Reids’ daughter and family: Anetta and Dave Tredinnick and children, Davey and Becky, of Hastings. Sunday dinner guests at the Clarence Reid home were their son and family, Vaughn and Monda Reid and daughter, Jennifer, of Nash­ ville; and son Vernon Reid of Charlotte. Sunday evening, the Clarence Reids called on the Dave Tredinnick family of Hastings. The Nashville Garden Club will meet Tuesday, April 1, at the home of Mrs. Will (Beth) Suntken of Nashville. The program for the 2 p.m. event will be a surprise by Beth. Tea committee for the meeting is Mrs. Esta Day and Mrs. Elsie Cogswell, both of Nashville. The Cloverleaf Class of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet Thursday, April 3, at the Community House. Co-hostess for the 1:30 p.m. event are Mrs. Melissa Showalter and Mrs. Adah Steele, both of Nash­ ville. An interesting item from the March 12 issue of the Detroit News was sent to us last week by Kenneth A. Meade at Franklin. In an editorial comment, the article told of Michigan’s “sugary harvest,” and pointed out that today a quart of maple syrup costs more than $5. “People of middle age remember when $4 would buy a gallon of the heavenly liquid. Even motor oil, at more than $1 a quart, is a bargain compared to oldfashioned maple syrup,” commented the writer. The author then questioned why it is, then, that 90 percent of Michigan’s maples are untapped every spring. “There’s maple syrup in them thar hills,” concluded the writer. “Forget the gold and the oil.” Meade, in a letter, commented on the statement that 90 percent of the state’s maples are un­ tapped. “Nashville’s maples are . certainly tapped,” he noted. He also questioned a statement in the piece which said that “a farmer hauls ten gallons of watery sap to his evaporator to get one quart of syrup.” Meade said he thought the ratio was one gallon of syrup for every 32 gallons of sap. “Maybe it is different for different areas and for different years,” concluded Meade. Perhaps our local producers can volunteer some input on this subject. The Builders Class of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet at 8 p.m. Tuesday, March 25, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Andrews of Curtis Road. Several Nashville youngsters received an unexpected treat recently, in appreciation for various volunteer jobs the kids have undertaken at Putnam Public Library this past year. The youngsters have helped out with many tasks, as sort of a “youth branch” of the Friends of the Library. They have served freely without thought of reward. So it was, that when Channel 41-TV recently offered free tickets to the 1980 Ice Capades in Kalamazoo to area non-profit organizations, the local FOL took advantage of. the op­ portunity to treat the youngsters. Including adult chaperones, fifteen folks loaded into a couple of autos and headed for Wings Stadium for the Wednesday evening, March 15th, per­ formance of “Make a Wish”. The Nashville contingent was seated only three rows from the ice, which allowed them an excellent view of the colorful performance staged by the internationally performing ice troupe. Of particular interest to the local youngsters was an Oriental skit. They were also fascinated by the appearance of the Hanna Barberra “Flinstone” characters. Attending from Nashville were: Mrs. Joy Peake and daughter, Jill; Mrs. Ardyce Robtham and children, Jennifer and An­ drew; Mrs. Pam White; Jim and Mike Hay; Ray and Donna Ashcraft; Bobby Aber; Kevin Ohm; Mike Barnhart; Alan Meehan; and Mrs. Betty Perry, who has been an extremely dedicated volunteer “cleaning lady” at the library for some time. Recent callers on Mr. and Mrs. Leonard (Veda) Shull of Nashville were Mr. and Mrs. Bill Tarbet of Hastings and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Burchett of Dowling. Mrs. Nellie Moon of Nash­ ville enjoyed attending the recent meeting of the Hastings Union of the W.C.T.U., held March 18th, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Tobias of Nashville. On "Bus Sunday,” March 16, there were 246 persons riding busses to attend morning services at the Nashville Baptist Church.

It varied in weight from about 11 to 13 Ml. - (616) 381-2000 pounds a gallon, and in color from dirty brownish-red to In the spring of 1877, Lewis Lombard, a ten year old lad living two miles east of Nashville, tapped trees, built an arch and made more than 100 pounds of superior maple sugar, all alone and unassisted. Lewis joined a lively market that season in which some 3,000 pounds of sugar were shipped from Nashville in just one Saturday late in March. Making maple sugar was prime business in the Nash­ ville area from the time of the community's early settlement. After the art of capturing “sweet water” from maples was learned by white explorers watching Great Lakes area Indians, syrup became nearly as magnetic as lumber and furs in attracting pioneers to Michigan. Locally, the sweet bounty proved to be rather profitable. “Henry Bowen of Maple Grove, who has possibly the largest sugar bush in Barry County’, has made more than 4,000 lbs. of maple sugar this season and can now take it easy until corn planting time,” advised the Nashville News at the end of April 1877, the same year that young Lewis Lombard single-handedly produced 100 pounds of sugar. The township of Maple Grove, where Bowen's farm was located, was just what the name implied, according to a remembrance of old times written by Leo Herrick and published in the Nash­ ville News in 1982. “Around the turn of the century, and up to about 1908, before so many of the majestic hard (sugar) maples were slaughtered, Nashville SUPERETTE - sales in excess of 300,000° BEER, WINE & LIQUOR.

Main St., Nashville — Phone852-0713 Maple sugar was shipped from Nashville to almost every state in the Union. In the 1881 syrup season, C. W. Smith shipped from this station 42,000 pounds of maple sugar, a carload of which went to Denver, Colo. Nashville shipped more sugar than any town in Michigan that year, with a total of 145,476 pounds. In addition, nearly 5,000 pounds was sent by teamsters to Battle Creek and Marshall. absolute colorless.” Herrick explained that the colorless syrup was a perfect product, made without impurities and which had not been exposed to the air too long in boiling. Such was the syrup made by Nelson McOmber, a farmer who lived four miles south of Nashville, remembered Herrick. McOmber’s sugar shanty was tight and dirt-free. When he tapped trees, he hung rust-proof buckets with tight fitting covers to keep out foreign matter. He gathered sap every day when it was running, and poured- it through a fine cloth strainer into a wooden vat mounted on a horse-drawn stone boat. At his gravity flow holding tank, McOmber again strained the sap. “No housewife could be more particular or im­ maculate than he was,” observed Herrick. McOmber’s boiler was powered by a steam threshing machine, which had been driven to the sugar shanty in the woods in the fall and stored inside for springtime use. It was fueled entirely by anthracite. The flow of the sap into the evaporator in the shanty was controlled by a valve. “As the cold, pure, colorless sap hit the steam pipes, it turned into steam almost im­ mediately,”* reminisced Herrick. McOmber carefully watched thermometers in both his long, high and narrow, side-by-side evaporators. V-shaped hoods captured the rising steam. “The trick seemed to be not to let too much sap in at any one time and to keep it at a designated level,” ob­ served Herrick. “Steam was condensed back into scalding hot water by means of a huge hogshead and many feet of copper tubing.” The injector from the engine was sucking scalding hot water right back into the boilers, Herrick explained. A shovelful of anthracite now and then would run the evaporators all day. Every twenty minutes, McOmber would draw off syrup into one gallon cans. "The syrup was absolutely colorless and so sweet and condensed that it would candy on top in just a few minutes if left in an open dish,” recalled Herrick. “In fact, it was so pure that by pouring some into a dish and stirring it for a while it would turn into sugar. Or it could be poured onto some ice or snow and would turn into wax immediately.” The McOmbers were very friendly and generous folks, Herrick wrote, and always Homer E. Downing was in the sugar business in Nashville for over 40 years. In Kellogg Street quarters that have since been converted to Fred White's brick home, the Downing Bros, (later Downing & Bullis) firm turned maple syrup into a product known as Mapline. Downing was also engaged in the poultry processing business, was an auctioneer, had an interest in the lumber, building supplies and coal trade, and had large real estate investments in Nashville. Born in Castleton Township, Downing was Nashville's oldest business man when he died in 1930 at age 80. (Photo loaned, courtesy Sena Gribben French) had lots of sugar parties at their house, stuffing everybody with all the syrup and sugar they could hold. Herrick didn’t note the dimensions of McOmber’s evaporators, but the News recorded the size of one considered immense in March 1903. “F. J. Brattin last week delivered to James Boyles a maple syrup evaporator that probably is the largest ever turned out here,” disclosed the News account. “It is 14 ft. 9 in. by 4 ft. 10 in., and was made by Brattin’s tinner, Ira Milter.” The annual sweet harvest continued to be a rather profitable though back­ breaking enterprise for area farmers. In 1942, Nashville made state headlines when village volunteers undertook a civic syrup operation, to counter wartime sugar rationing while raising funds for the community. With the exception of one year, the project has been carried out every spring since that -first wartime effort when syrup sold for $2.50 a gallon. For a recorded 110 years, Nashville area folks have annually taken advantage of nature’s seasonal bounty. The sweet harvest time heralds the arrival of spring. As the Nashville News noted in early March 1879: “Most of the snow has disappeared and now mud and sugarmaking are the order of the day.” MEMBER NNA Association • Founded 1885 Maple Valley News Nashville.

March 26, 1980 — Page 6 at your service Step into spring and summer with fabrics from 'The Sewing Bee One of the springiest looking spots in the village oT Nashville is the pretty and versatile seasonal bolts of cloth tucked on the shelves of Sewing Bee Fabrics. Owner Jan Barnhart, who opened the shop last year, says the spring and summer fabrics are great for giving a lift to your decorating scheme as well as your wardrobe. Mrs. Barnhart says she has fabrics which will make delightful bedspreads and curtains as well as summer clothing, swimsuits, and sleepwear. The “in” materials which are really going this spring are the “active living” fabrics — terry velours, terry chenilles, and chenille, she comments. They make great outfits for tennis players, others who are into summer sports, and just for fun and relaxation With the high cost of living on everyone’s mind, Mrs. Barnhart points out that a readymade terry velour dress can cost upwards of $35 while terry velour fabric is stocked on her shelfat $3.99 a yard (and its 60 inches wide). “It’s cheaper to make your own and this can amount to a real savings,” she said. Peach and shades of pink are popular colors for this spring and summer, and Mrs. Barnhart says she has fabrics of those colors in stock. A variety of spring and summer fabrics are on hand at the store — boucle, pliss (similar to sear sucker), pretty T-shirt material that has many uses (even for maternity tops), minibouquet, various light weight cloth that drapes beautifully, rayon polyester that looks like linen and comes in many colors, and even all cotton. When Mrs. Barnhart opened her shop she did so with the thought that an “all­ fabric” store would be a service to the community and the surrounding area. “I thought it would help those in the area so they don’t have to travel a great distance,” she said. She says her two major goals are to expand the lines in her store and to “keep prices down.” A friendly atmosphere is the type of environment Mrs. Barnhart wants to maintain at her shop. “I want people to feel free to come in here when they have have questions about sewing problems?’ To assist those who stop in her shop, she has a selection of reference material to help customers answer special questions.'' How to adjust patterns and how to sew on synthetic fabrics are a few of the subjects that might be likely to come up during a sewing project. She offers a 10 percent discount to 4-H members and home economics students “to encourage the young one’s to sew.” Jan says, “I try to keep up with what’s current and keep a variety of fabrics on hand. I try to keep flannel all year round.” A line, of Kwick Sew Patterns are available at the store. She hopes to Continually enlarge her selection of children’s wear fabrics. Materials geared with children in mind are a particular interest for Jan who is the mother of eight. (Several of her daughters lend a hand at the shop oc­ casionally.) Sewing Bee Fabrics is located (across from the Post Office) at 230 N. Main. The shop once was the site of Nashville’s first bank. Jan also says the shop was once a Bible Book Store, a janitorial service, a barbershop, and even served as an apartment & fight nflation el Let us help you...

Next fall, Jan predicts that velours will enjoy continued popularity. In the winter months, she expects terry and quilted materials to be used more extensively because of their warmth. And to be prepared for that next season, she plans to collect all the “quilted ideas” she can muster up and pass them along to in­ terested customers. Owner Jan Barnhart's interest in fabrics and sewing goes beyond operating "Sewing Bee Fabrics" in Nashville. An experienced seamstress herself, Jan gained a llot of practical knowledge making clothing for her eight children. And she knows, first hand, the joys and savings "of sewing a garment yourself." Perhaps that's why she brings so much enthusiasm to her work and has genuine interest in her customers.

The next day we visited the beautiful Ruby Falls at Lookout Mt., Chattanooga, where you go down 260’ in an elevator then walk nearly a mile through caves electrically lighted. At St. Augustine we boarded a bus for a tour of the old part of the city and past the old Spanish fort San Marcos. Two nights were spent at Key West, the southern-most city in the United States. It is only 1% miles wide by 4 miles long. To reach the city we pass over 100 miles of bridges, one is 7 miles long, which connects the Keys with the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. The water looks very shallow and full of coral of many colors. -At Key West we took the Coach Train Tour and go through 14 miles of old and new Key West and pass by the Audubon House where John James Audubon painted so many of his Florida birds. Our guide said there are some descendents still of the 100 cats he kept. There is also the, Ernest Hemingway’s home and the Little White House where Harry Truman relaxed. One night we went to the harbor at Sunset Point to see the sun sink in the ocean, a lovely experience.

Railroad, Hastings Ph. 945-9926 Firster’s second Florida tour, having lunch at the unique Kapok Tree Inn, but disappointed because of rain not to walk through the in­ teresting gardens. After leaving Naples on my second visit to Key West through the Everglades, we stopped at an alligator and snake farm, also had a ride in a “swamp buggy”, or airboat, through the mangroves, or walking trees, because of their many roots. You see many varieties of tropical plants, ferns, orchids and especially the birds, egrets, ducks, blue and great white heron and every once in a while an alligator sunning himself. Other interesting and enjoyable phases of my trip were attending the Passion Play at Lake Wales, visiting Cypress Gardens, Silver Springs, Disneyworld, Circus World and a tour of Cape Kennedy and NASA; Most of the group attended the show at the Grand Ole Opry the last night but Mrs. Katie Snider, who was also in the. group, and I decided to rest Mr. George Firster went on both tours.

March 26, 1980 — Page 9 from our readers FROM OUR READERS: In my letter which you published on March 10, I regret that I neglectfully omitted two things of most importance and that is that my husband and my son and J have always received the most gracious treatment at our new church, The Church of the Nazarene. The most joyous greeting on entering the church is most certainly an over­ whelming welcome to the church! The new minister, Rev. Richard Wadsworth and his wife made us a most enjoyable visit (for the three of us) at our home. We, also, did appreciate the personal friends of my husband here who have been exceedingly nice to us. I would like to thank each and everyone who contacted us either by phone or by mail or in person, after they read my letter in the Maple Valley News. The response to my writing the letter to you, was tremendous. There are many here, in Nashville, who had or who are now ex­ periencing the ■ “Excluded Feeling” we are ex­ periencing, in this village. We most sincerely enjoyed the personal visit of the Assistant Minister of the Baptist Church of Nashville.

The Survey is conducted each year, so that the Job Placement Office can find out how many Vocational graduates are working in, areas that they trained for. Vlasin indicated that the Department of State Education has an additional requirement over and above Federal rules; “In the State of Michigan a minimum of 80 percent of all Vocational graduates must be contacted.

Broadway, Hastings, Mich. 49058 P.O. Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) Maple Valley News, Vol. 107, No. 45 — Wednesday, April 2, 1980 Steps to be taken Thursday, to develop 'master plan' Revitalization of Nash­ ville’s Main Street will be one step closer to reality after a 7 p.m. meeting Thursday, April 17, at Castleton Township Hall. That evening, Gove Associates of Kalamazoo will meet with members of the Nashville Business Owners Association and other interested persons from the community to formulate the first steps in development of a master plan for the village business district. Gove was recently award­ ed a $7,500 contract for designing such a plan. The funding came as part of a $405,000 Block Grant from the U.S. Dept, of Housing and Urban Development. The grant has been designated for the village of Nashville and the townships of Castleton and Maple Grove over the next two years. Among various projects for which the grant funds have been earmarked by HUD, at the suggestion of a local committee, is a professional development plan and engineering survey for Nashville’s business district. Jack Howell, Gove project planner, was in touch last week with Dick Chaffee, president of the Nashville Business Owners Association, to advise him that his company would be seeking public input at the upcoming meeting. Among the advice they hope to receive at that time is how much of the business district in Nashville should be en­ compassed by. the proposed plan. Local input is being sought to help establish boundaries for the project. In addition, Gove hopes to have a committee of_Nashville people appointed that night to act as a liaison between the community and the Kalamazoo firm during the design project At a February meeting with the NBOA, Howell said that increasing local awareness is a “must” in successfully developing a ^ downtown area. He noted that such a project requires a partnership between merchants and local residents. Part of the Gove plan is expected to include data collection, which includes hearing public input and conducting a market analysis of the community. Steven Reid, who, as assistant to Barry County’s Grant Coordinator, is responsible for ad­ ministering the $405,000 HUD grant in the Nashville area, said the Gove project is expected to take ap­ proximately nine months to complete.

Maundy Thursday ser­ vices are set for 7:30 p.m. at the Nashville United Methodist Church. Spring recess for Maple Valley school youngsters started last Friday and will conclude the day after Easter, when classes resume. If you don’t have time to bake Easter “goodies,” let the Friends of the Library do it for you. They will be having a bake sale Saturday at Security National Bank, from 9 to 12. When the bank closes at noon, any baked goods not sold will be taken to Putnam Public Library for sale during the afternoon. The library is open until 5 p.m. on Saturday, so be sure to stop in if you can’t get to the bank in the forenoon. Proceeds of the sale will aid the various projects un­ dertaken by the FOL on behalf of the local library. “He was my most remembered teacher,’’ wrote Wayne Fuller, a Nashville native now of Toledo, after he read our recent item about Ezra Devereaux, who was local school superin­ tendent from about 1925 to 1931. “I would say that he was one of a kind,” wrote Fuller. (He) was a most friendly person and was always eager to talk with his students.” Fuller recalled a reunion of his Class of 1926 that was held a good many years ago at the home of Mrs. Margaret Bateman of Nashville, who was also on Easter Sunday should be an especially delightful day for youngsters in the com­ munity, thanks to Carl’s Market and Sandy land Park. In a combined effort, the two firms will sponsor an Easter Egg Hunt at 1 p.m. Sunday at Sandyland. Some 50 dozen hard boiled decorated eggs will be hidden in the park, along with 36 special prize winning plastic eggs Some lucky child will win a giant­ sized stuffed chick as one of those special prizes. Kids up to and including age 12 are eligible to participate in the search. Community Good Friday observance for the Nashville area will be held in a com­ bined service at the United Methodist Church from 1 to 2:30 p.m. on April 4. Rev. Robert Taylor of the Assembly of God, Rev. Richard Wadsworth of the Church of the Nazarene, and Rev. Leonard Putnam of the United Methodist Church, will all participate in the special service which is designed in three half-hour segments so that individuals may attend at convenient intervals if they are unable to stay for the entire program. The business community is encouraged to take advantage of this special feature. Host pastor Rev. Putnam expressed hope that the half-hour segments would, make it easier for stores to rotate work shifts so that em­ ployees may attend at least one segment of the Good Friday service. Music will be It is not how long we live, but how well. Jesus Christ lived but 33 years on earth, yet consider what he accomplished. He gave the dictum, ’’Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, all thy mind, and all thy soul and love thy neighbor as thyself". His three brief years of ministry established the moral guidelines for hundreds of millions over a span of almost 2000 years. EASTER H A P PY V FUNEtyM.

Roger Lamie, wife Margaret, and children Kim and Bobby. The Lamies found the weather very changable during their stay, with temperatures ranging from the 60’s to the 30’s with very sudden rises and drops. They enjoyed a day at Broadmoor in the Cheyenne Mountains, near ‘ Pike’s Peak, where they sat out­ doors in 50-degree weather to watch skiers coming down the slopes. Most days were sunny during their stay. A trip to Lymon, high in the mountains, took the Lamies to Roger’s favorite spot during the duck hunting season. Because of weekend snow storms, the Lamies were able to make only two treks into the high moun­ tainous area. At Colorado Springs, they enjoyed a trip through the Garden of the Gods. A side trip was also enjoyed to the Great Plains area in southeastern Colorado, where they saw immense herds of beef cattle on great stretches of level and sparsely inhabited land. The Lamies flew to Colorado Springs from Grand Rapids, with a stop in Chicago. Roger is stationed with the U.S. Air Force at Peterson AF Base in Colorado Springs. The care and handling of rare books was learned by members of Nashville’s Friends of the Library at their meeting at Putnam Public Library last Monday.

Richard Wadsworth lady at Putnam Public Library, has recently had to give up that job, due to her health. However, Librarian La Duska Sheldon told us that Betty is still doing volunteer work of another sort at the library. She is one of several “book reviewers” who act as unpaid assistants to the librarian. Whenever the library receives a large donation ofused books, these volunteers read through all the older fiction to determine which volumes might be suitable additions to the library collection. Mrs. Sheldon personally reviews all gifts of non-fiction books, and makes the final deter­ mination of all volumes added to the library shelves. Without the help of these volunteer readers, it would be impossible for Mrs. Sheldon and the library staff to furnish a personal review of all donated books. Putnam Public Library is truly an asset of which Nashville can be proud, thanks to a dedicated staff and many devoted community volunteers. The Education Committee of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet Tuesday, April 2, at 7 p.m. at the church.

Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Reid of Nashville were in Battle Creek last week Wednesday to call on Cliff Handley, who is confined to Leila Hospital. He is. a foi^ met co-worker of Clarence, before Reid’s retirement from Kelloggs. The two men were also hospitalized in the same room at Leila when Clarence was there in February to undergo his surgery. While in Battle Creek, Clarence and Margaret Reid also called on his sister-in­ law, Mrs. Ruth Reid, who was recently widowed. Tuesday evening, Clarence and Margaret were supper guests of Vernon and Joanne Reid and family of Charlotte. Homer E. Downing, or “Home”, as he was often called, was featured in last week’s “Memories” about Nashville’s early sugar market. Downing was a major dealer of Michigan in sugar, as well as poultry, and also had an interest in the building supplies and coal business, plus large real estate investments. He also was an auctioneer, as we noted, and we recently found a humorous item from the News of February 1899: “H. E. Downing cried a sale over near Grand Ledge Friday that ran over $9,000. It took all day and Home was so hoarse by night that he had to order his supper in a whisper.” Downing was a well-known figure around Nashville for many years. Rate "®iit!

The Nashville Police Dept, recently took delivery on a new cruiser. It is a 1980 Ford LTD, purchased from Renner Ford in Hastings. The new vehicle contains several “extras”, such as automatic door locks, that the old cruiser did not In addition, it is considerably more roomy. Despite that fact, Sgt. Gene Koetje has found gas mileage in the new auto to be approximately the same, or perhaps slightly better than that realized with the old car, which was a 1978 Chevy Nova. Incidentally, the old vehicle will be offered for public sale by sealed bid. Insignia decals for the new cruiser are on order and are expected to be mounted on the right and left front doors within about a week or so. They will bear the same American eagle design as the department patch, adopted by the NPD in 1976 as part of the village ob­ servance of the national Bicentennial. Another equipment ad­ dition to the Nashville Police Dept, is a new Decatur speed-timing radar unit. It has been mounted on the dash of the new cruiser. Unlike the previous model . owned by the NPD, the new set has an interior antenna gun. With the old set, the gun had been mounted on the auto’s exterior, where it was subject to the elements and occasional vandalism. The new radar unit may be operated either as a stationary set or as a hand­ held set, with the use of a pistol grip. This allows an officer to aim the antenna gun in any direction. In place as a stationary unit, the new radar set provides a speed reading on approaching vehicles as well as furnishing a constant read-out of the cruiser’s speed. The new set has several technical features not contained in the old unit. Several little ladies from Hastings have a fond im­ pression of Nashville, after a visit to our fair village last Tuesday. They were ten members of a Campfire Girls troop, led by Caroline Dimmers, Jan Flood and Sheila Prucha. The trip to Nashville for a tour of the Sugar Shanty in Putnam Park was the idea of Mrs. Dimmers, proprietor of the Thornapple General Store here. Hosted by syrup association volunteers,. Nelson Brumm, Harold Christiansen and Eldon Day, the girls had an opportunity to observe every phase of the syrup-making operation. At the conclusion, they were rewarded with a tasty sample of warm syrup. The girls all signed the guest register book at the sugar shanty, and left Nashville having learned something new: the meaning of the word “spile”. Fortunately, the sap was running that day so they could catch a glimpse of the device in action. Sunday visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard (Veda) Shull of Nashville were Mr. and Mrs. Kendall Guy of Bristol, Indiana, and Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Guy and family of Augusta. A Tuesday afternoon party of card playing and dominoes was hosted last week by Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Shull at their home. Attending the event were: Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ackett, Mr. and Mrs. Will Suntken, The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Wednesday, April 2, 1980 — Poqe 3 Mr. and Mrs. Ard Decker, Mrs. Nellie Moon, Mrs. Edna Gibbons, and Mrs. Caroline Jones, all of Nashville. The Nashville Garden Club meets today, Tuesday, April 1, at the home of Mrs. Will (Beth) Suntken of Nashville.. Program for the 2 p.m. event will be a surprise by Beth. Tea committee for the meeting is Mrs. Esta Day and Mrs. Elsie Cogswell,, both of Nashville. Recently returningfrom a two-weeks trip to Florida were Mr. and Mrs. Nate (La Dyska) Sheldon of Nashville and their son and his wife,, Jim and Lori Sheldon of Ludington. The four spent most of their vacation at the home of La Duska’s mother, former Nashville area resident Mrs. Virginia Higdon Keller. There, they helped with repairs at her Melbourne, Florida, home by re-roofing the house and cleaning yard debris left by last year’s hurricane. Jim and Lorf* enjoyed a trip to Disneyworld, but Nate and La Duska chose to spend their spare time at the fascinating Merritt’s Square Shopping Center near Cocoa. There, they particularly enjoyed the Piccadilly Cafeteria. Later, it was the scene of a family gathering and dinner which included Mrs. Keller, the Sheldons, and La Duska’s sister and family: Doris and Lynn Hazelton of Port Malibar and their grown children and their families. Rep. Donald H. Gilmer (R55th District) will be in Nashville next week Wednesday, April 9, to speak to the Nashville - Chamber of Commerce. The 7 p.m. dinner meeting at the Steak House Restaurant is open to the public with advance reservations, which may be obtained through Monday from Harold Christiansen,' dinner chairman. Gilmer is expected to speak on topics of local concern and will conduct a question - and answer session following his presentation. To aid Gilmer in selecting subjects of in­ terest to Nashville folks, the Chamber members sub­ mitted various categories of concern in a communication last month. The Finance Committee of Nashville the United Methodist Church will meet Tuesday, April 1, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Bahs at 7:30 p.m. It’s that time of year! Softball season will soon be here, and again this yearr a local church league is being organized. A meeting to organize and work up schedules will be held at 7 p.m. Monday, April 14, at the Nashville Baptist Church. All area churches are invited to participate. Assistant Pastor Don Roscoe Don suggested that those attending the meeting bring along a list ofdates that their team may not be available, such as during summer church camps, so that a schedule can be woiked up with scheduling conflicts eliminated. As additional plans are made, more details on thd church softball league will be furnished in a later column. Something new this year will be the Father-Daughter Banquet planned by the Nashville Baptist Church for April 15 at the Maple Valley School cafeteria. Many Father-Son Banquets have been held in the past, but this is the first time for the church to stage a FatherDaughter event. Four new deacons will be elected at the Annual Business Meeting of the Nashyille Baptist Church, scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 16. Names of the nominees will be published at a later date. Florida evangelist Wayne Swearinga and Virginia gospel singer Billy Speer will be at the Nashville Baptist Church 5-day for a evangelistic crusade, April 19 through 23. Mr. and Mrs. Donald (Elaine) Leonard of Nashville returned last Wednesday from a 3-weeks trip to Florida, where they called on Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Higdon at Homestead and Mr. and Mrs. Louis Kraft at Lakeland. Elaine said she found out what an arm and a leg costs in Florida, since she had the misfortune to fall on a chipped sidewalk there and fractured her right wrist and a kneecap. The arm is now in a cast. A 4-day visit to Las Vegas was recently enjoyed by Mr. and Mrs. Jeny Kent and Mr. and Mrs. George Frith, all of Nashville. The four flew to Vegas from Grand Rapids, via Chicago. In attending a nightclub to watch a per­ formance by Wayne Newton, they were veiy lucky to see several other well-known stars quite by chance. Joining Newton for an im­ promptu performance were Glen Campbell, Lola Falona, and Donny and Marie Osmond. The four were starring at other Vegas nightspots, but joined Newton at the conclusion of their* own shows. In addition to the traditional sights of Las Vegas, the Nashville visitors enjoyed a side trip to Hoover Dam. The Nashville Police Dept, handled 40 complaints in February, Sgt. Gene Koetje, acting chief, reported to the village council at their meeting last Thursday. Among the complaints received were 4 malicious destructions to property, 4 larcenies, 7 bad checks, 1 stolen car, 1 arrest -for driving under the influence of liquor, 2 accidents, and 3. breaking and enterings. The local officers also im­ pounded three autos and handled one open door complaint. In addition, they issued 6 moving violation and 8 parking tickets, and local officers gave 7 assists to the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, in February. The Nashville police secured three warrants for breaking and entering that cleared up three B. & E. complaints. All three subjects on whom the NPD obtained warrants were involved in the other three breaking and en­ terings, Koetje explained. He added that the NPD presently has four persons going through the court systems on B. & E. charges. Sgt. Koetje also advised the council about the new cruiser and radar unit now in use by the local police. We were so sorry to hear of X- the sudden death last Thursday of Mrs. Helen (Miller) Hecker of Nash­ ville. She had suffered with the flu recently, but had been with her daughter Mrs. Marian Flook of Galesburg about a week before passing away from an apparent stroke. We will sorely miss Helen, who was an ex­ tremely helpful and reliable soiree for the “Memories” series. Helen grew up south of Nashville, having moved here in her childhood years. Her family came from the Lacey area. Because she had such a keen mind and lasting memory of Nashville’s past, told to her by her grand­ mother, Helen could add a comment on almost every subject dealing with local history. Helen, the widow of Vem Hecker, was 80 on her January 4th birthday. Condolences are extended to the family in their loss. N.Y.

Eaton Federal and FOUR CONVENIENT LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU HOME OFFICE - CHARLOTTE, MICHIGAN Nashville, Michigan - Eaton Rapids, Michigan • Olivet, Michigan �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, April 2, 1980 — Page 4 State Street, from Washington to Reed, was Nashville’s first residential development, in the strictest sense of the word. There, in the mid-1860’s and 1870’s, a more-or-less contiguous tract of frame homes were built in an orderly village fashion. Several were constructed by the same family. True, the real genesis of Nashville had occurred more than a decade earlier on the north bank of the Thornapple River, in the present-day Putnam Park area. There, in the mid1850 's, the first white settlers put down roots. They built a scattering of log structures, established both a saw and grist mill, and took up residence near . mostlyIndian neighbors. Land south of the river was heavily forested, but soon the virgin timber fell to become stores and dwellings as the settlement expanded southward. George Gregg was the driving force behind that expansion, though his son Robert is better remem­ bered for his 1865 platting of the village. George, with his wife and several grown sons and daughters, bought land in 1854 in Section 13 of Castleton Township and settled north of Nashville in a rural area. “All the land within the present corporate limits of Nashville and much beyond those limits was owned by a group of speculators,” remembered Ethel Parrish Stansell, greatgranddaughter of George Gregg, in a 1955 article on those early times. “Speculators bought (land here) as early as 1846, en­ couraged by the fact that all the district south, east and west, had been settled." However, the newlyacquired Nashville area land did not sell. In fact, a U.S. Government land office inspector toured the site and reported it to be “a land of swamps, sinkholes, Indians, and wild beasts, and totally unfit for man or beast.” George Gregg, an engineer and former government surveyor, moved in just at the right psychological moment, remembered his great-granddaughter. “He not only came and saw, but seeing, he could envision the possibilities of the site,” noted Mrs. Stansell. With his son Robert, he started to trade, sell and buy until the Greggs owned all the land from the Thor­ napple River to ap­ proximately Quaker Brook, and from Main Street through to Queen. A few isolated parcels had already been sold to individuals who did settle here, but by the time the Civil War began in 1861, the Greggs owned, the bulk of the village. “And the men (sellers), at least some of them, boasted of how they got the best Of Old Man Gregg,” remem­ bered his great- granddaughter. It appears, however, that the Greggs had the last laugh. And when Robert platted the village in 1865, the Greggs retained two sizeable parcels of land for the family. “George Gregg was 'pt.<**.«• -y&206.

That’s what the Census has been about since the first one in 1790.

He explained that federal grants and other benefits to our community depend on the census figures. It is very important that everybody be counted, he added. Christiansen said that in the 1970 Census, certain areas of Nashville were missed. Some 86 million census questionharies were to be delivered throughout the country last Friday by the U.S. Postal Sytem. There are two types of census forms: a “short” and a “long.” Only one in every six households will receive the long form, which con­ tains 46 additional questions over the 19 asked on the short form. On both forms, questions will cover such subjects as population, housing, tran­ sportation, employment, employment income, and energy. The forms provide multiple choice answers for many of the questions. Though times may vary for different individuals, it was estimated that it would take about 15 minutes for most folks to complete the short form questionnaire. On April 21st, there will be a Cultural Arte Day at the National VFW Home near Eaton Rapids. The event is sponsored by Ingham and Eaton Extension Homemakers and is open to the public. Featured on the program will be Christine MacGregor of Charlotte, art exhibits from the two counties, a lecture on Art Appreciation and music by the Mad Hatters of Eaton Rapids.

On St. Patrick’s Day, Otis Hermenitt of Delton, Gerald Bestrom of Middleville and Jerry Cairns of Freeport provided music on a steel-guitar, guitar, coronet and musical saw which we really enjoyed, as we sang along with several favorite Irish songs.

Following is her lovely poem: Alfalfa growers that did not topdress last fall should do so in the spring for maximum production. If stands are good, far­ mers can expect a 20 percent increase -in yield when topdress fertilizer is combined with four cuttings instead of three or two. For maximum fertilizer efficiency, a soil test is necessary, however the following guidelines will apply to the average Eaton County farm. On good established stands, apply 400 pounds of 0-14-42, plus 1 to 2 pounds of Boron per acre The following fall or spring apply 300 pounds of 0-0-60.

But it’s value is far greater than a mountain made of gold. For gold is cold and lifeless — it cannot see or hear, And in a time of trouble it is powerless to cheer! It has no ears to listen, no heart to understand It cannot bring you comfort, or reach out a helping hand.

Congress uses census data to allocate federal funds. If the population count misses some people, schools could lose out on education dollars. For example, the number of children ages 5 to 17 in poor families deter­ mines the money allotted under Title I. The number of minority children in each state determines how Emergency School Aid Act funds are distributed. Grants for bilingual education depend on the number of children in non-Englishspeaking homes. Funds for adult education are based on the number of people age 18 and older with less than five years of schooling. State revenue sharing, much of which goes to education, also depends on the census breakdown. The office of Education faces a peculiar problem in allocating funds because school district boundaries do not always correspond with census tracts. Data must be retabulated to match geographical areas. In the next few months, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) will ask each of the nation’s 66,000 school district to plot its boundaries on census maps. Then the census' bureau or another agency can come up with a precise picture of a school district, says Marshall Turner of the census bureau. This was done in 1970 for district with 300 or more students. NCES has also asked the census bureau to tabulate the number of school-age children in low-income families (for Title I) and the ages ofchildren. Figures will also be broken down by racial groups. NCES also wants the educational attainment levels in each district, Turner says. The biggest problem facing the census is how to get everyone counted. The bureau estimates it missed more than 2 percent of the population in 1970, including 5 million minorities who have historically been un­ dercounted. The cost of the undercount is high. The National Urban League estimates that Chicago alone lost $2.5 million in revenue sharing money because so many blacks were missed. This year the bureau has set up a special Minority Statistics Program to im­ prove coverage. Committees will tap thousands of black, Hispanic and Asian and Pacific organizations to spread the word to their members about the benefits of returning the census forms.

College Week, June 16-19 this year, has been an annual event at Michigan State University for more than 50 years. It is sponsored by the Family Living Education program of the Cooperative Extension Service and by the MSU College of Human Ecology. From the beginning, College Week has been designed to meet the con­ of temporary needs Michigan citizens, according to Eaton County Home Economist, Ann Ross. In the earliest days, College Week taught basic home-making skills to rural women. For today’s challenges, the classes are realistic and clear. "What Happens When Mothers Work?” will deal with the stress, guilt and changes in family relationships that occur when mothers go to work. For the woman dealing with shaky self-confidence, “Work and Self-Confidence” will focus on psychological growth, illuminating the forces and relationships that thwart a woman’s self- esteem. “The Woman Alone” will discuss financial matters, psychological adjustments and other details of living as a single. It will also outline how the woman who finds herself suddenly alone can develop a support system. These classes are only the beginning. 'College Week offers some 55 classes in homemaking, leadership, family life, art, cooking and more. For more information on how you can take advantage of the wide range of College Week courses, contact the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service, 126 N. Bostwick, Charlotte (5432310).

Meeting adjourned at 9:25 p.m. Date: March 27, 1980 Proposed township hall rental fee discussed at Castleton’s annual meeting By Susan Hinckley The question of whether or not Nashville . will start paying rent for use of Castleton Township Hall for village meetings is still unanswered following the township’s annual electors’ meeting Saturday. However, the problem may be one step closer to being resolved. A village council com­ mittee is expected to meet with township officials in the near future to attempt to iron out their differences. The session was suggested Saturday by Nelson Rasey, Castleton Township trustee. The council committee must be appointed by Nashville Village President Harold Christiansen who was not present at the Saturday township meeting. “We [resented what we thought was a fair proposal, which was a flat fee for each use of the hall,” said Rasey. “We thought it sounded reasonable and we expected a reply from the council to consider it, discuss it, and make any adjustments that might be necessary.” Rasey added that he was “shocked” to read the council’s reply in the form of a news item. The impending rental charge was made public at a March budget meeting of the Nashville council, as officials sought to fit what they estimated to be an annual $900 cost into their 1980-81 village budget.. Christiansen advised the council at that meeting that the township had suggested a monthly rental fee of $60 for five meetings, plus $15 for each additional meeting over that number. The village presently holds four regularly scheduled meetings in the hall, plus occasional special meetings and all village elections. Rasey said Saturday that the proposed amount would have included utilities, a fact which had been misunderstood by some village officials at the March budget meeting. Nashville has been using the more spacious township facility since September 1978 when it was deemed that Nashville’s village hall was too cramped for public meetings and that its limited seating capacity of 17 per­ sons was often exceeded. At the March budget meeting, Nashville officials were immediately critical of the proposed rental fee suggested by the township because Nashville residents also pay property taxes to Castleton Township. To avoid paying rental on the hall, several village officials at the March budget meeting suggested moving Nashville’s public meetings to a village-owned former waterworks building in Putnam Park. The 1891 brick structure was recently renovated as a warming room and community hall, but is heated only with a free-standing circular fireplace. The proposed move was also noted at Saturday’s township meeting. “The majority of the council wishes to move to the waterworks building,” said Lonny Kienutske, immediate-pastvillage trustee. “I feel it would be a great disservice to the residents of Nashville who are part of Castleton Township.” Kienutske pointed out that 40 percent of the township’s tax dollars come from the village, which contains 58 percent of the total population of Castleton Township. (Part of the village is in Maple Grove Township.) Kienutske stressed that he was speaking only as a private citizen since his council term recently ex­ pired, but said he felt any charge for the hall should be connected to utilities only — by...Ava Kroger There was a good attendance of women from the Nashville Methodist Church, Vermontville Methodist Church, and Vermontville Congregational Church at the Lenten Breakfast given Wednesday morning by the ladies of the Gresham Church.

Rogers and Mrs. Mary Nashville Village Council — MINUTES OF SPECIAL MEETING — The special meeting of the Nashville Village Coun­ cil March 13, 1980 at 6:30 p.m. at Castleton Township Hall was called to order by President Christiansen. Present, Curtis, Kohfeldt, Kienutske, Babcock, Spoel­ stra and Hinckley. Purpose of this special meeting was to present proposed budget for the 1980 fiscal year and the proposed use of Federal Revenue Sharing. Discussion on“the proposed budget. No changes were made. The Trustees presented the proposed use of the 1980 Federal Revenue sharing as follows: Libra Library ................ $1,500.00 Garage (roof) . .<...........1,500.00 Cemetery (Chapel roof) 1,500.00 MV RRDC Park ............................................ 1,500.00 Water Tower 5,000.00 Street Construction 14,973.00 Motion by Hinckley and support by Spoelstra to adjourn. Meeting adjourned at 7:00 p.m. Harold Christiansen, President Harold Christiansen, President Susan M. Corkwell, Clerk Date: March 27, 1980 “It has never been my intention to charge any non­ profit organization for use of the hall,” said Cooley, Saturday. There was no rental fee mentioned in the 1978 agreement between the township and village to allow Nashville use of the hall on South Main St. One stipulation at that time required the village to clean the hall after each use. Saturday, some township officials indicated that they had not been entirely satisfied with the prompt­ ness or thoroughness of the cleaning done at the hall by village personnel. In other business Satur­ day, the township board: -Set the date, time and place of board meetings for the next fiscal year. --Designated as depositories for township funds the Nashville branches of Security National Bank and Eaton Federal Savings & Loan. --Heard Township Treasurer Geneva Brumm read the township’s financial statement for the year en­ ding March 19, 1980. -Heard individual annual reports on township activity given by Clerk Geraldine Long and Supervisor Cooley. -Reviewed the proposed 1980-81 township budget, with anticipated revenues of $86,337. The board also heard proposed uses of federal and state revenue sharing monies for the new fiscal year. Vermontville news to Curtis even if the present ratio has to be increased. He said the township should not receive a rental or maintenance fee from the village, since Nash­ ville taxpayers are already contributing to support of the hall. Nashville paid the town­ ship $288 for the past fiscal year to cover 50 percent of the electric costs in the hall. The large meeting room which the village uses is electrically heated. Castleton Township Supervisor Justin Cooley said Saturday that sharing in the electricity costs is not a' logic way to share in the operational costs of the hall. He said the township board is open to suggestions of a more logical and fair solution. A recent counteroffer by the village proposed entering into a 5-year rental agreement with the township for $500 per year, to include utilities, cleaning and maintenance on the hall. Audience suggestions at Saturday’s meeting included establishing a per-meeting fee for use of the hall for every purpose other than township business. This amount would ■ include cleaning and utilities and would be charged the village as well as other groups. Service clubs such as the Lions, Friends of the Library and Jaycees, have been allowed free use of the hall in the past. Susan M. Corkwell, Clerk Shaw returned last week from their winter in Florida.

Easter “goodies” were selling like hotcakes Saturday morning at the Friends of the Library bake sale in front of Security Bank in Nashville. Business was brisk as sunshine and springtime temperatures attracted winter-weary shoppers. The FOL took advantage of the balmy weather to set up shop outside the bank, rather than in the lobby as had been planned earlier. Proceeds of the bake sale will be added to a fund being built by the FOL for a movie projector to be used at Putnam Public Library. Cuddly critters, handmade by members of Girl Scout Troop No. 730, were offered for sale Saturday in con- junction with the FOL baked goodies. The fluffy bunnies, chicks and ducklings were quite a conversation piece as customers clustered around the display tables in front of the bank. The animals were fashioned from yarn with felt trim, some added with the aid of FOL members. Under the guidance of troop leader Mrs. James Pino, the young girl scouts have been frequent volun­ teer helpers at the library. A colorful ripple afghan in shades of Easter egg pastels was also on display at the FOL sale Saturday. Crocheted by FOL member Judy Hook, the afghan is one of two prizes in a raffle sponsored by the organization. Proceeds will also aid the movie projector fund. The other top prize in a May 30 drawing will be $10 of gasoline from any Nashville service station.

To aid Gilmer in selecting subjects of concern to Nashville area residents, local Chamber of Commerce members sub­ mitted various suggested categories in a com­ munication with Gilmer last month. Gilmer has been a frequent visitor in Nashville since his first successful bid for the House seat in 1976. He is currently serving his second 2-year term as Representative of the 55th state legislative district.

Please take time to cheer those in the hospital with cards or letters. Receiving mail certainly helps to brighten their day. We enjoyed a recent letter from Mrs. Lurah Mead Gaskell of Detroit who grew up in Nashville in the present-day Douse home across from Putnam Park. Mrs. Gaskell said our recent “Memories” on Dr. E. T. Morris brought back many memories. “He always told By Susan Hinckley me I was the first baby he delivered in the area after he started his practice in Nash­ ville,” she wrote. “He often mentioned it as it was a rather harrowing ex­ perience. There was a March blizzard; roads were drifted, and his cutter (small sleigh) turned over in a snowdrift. Naturally, he was a bit nervous.” When Lurah Mead was 11 or 12 years old, she lived with Dr. and Mrs. Morris, whom she remembers as very won­ derful people. We told in our “Memories” story of Dr. Morris performing home operations. “I remember well the* preparation for surgery in the homes,” wrote Mrs. Gaskell. “It was Mrs. Morris’ job to make sure the instruments were spotless and sterilized. I was allowed to help her, which to me was a big deal. All of the instruments were polished with silver polish, washed in soapy water, rinsed well, then wrapped in white muslin cases with ties. There were many different in­ struments and several sizes of each. AU were placed in a container on a rack in a copper boiler, then steamed for quite a period of time. These were never touched till the doctor was ready to use them. All were counted and the little musUn sponges were also counted so they could be accounted for before an incision was closed.” Mrs. GaskeU also recalled that the doctor usually included his own folding operating table unless it was for a minor operation when a dining table could be used. Many thanks to Mrs. Gaskell for sharing her recollections with us, and for her kind Words about the “Memories” feature. “I hope you continue to reminisce for us for a long time,” she concluded. Browsing through old newspapers turned up a bit more on the subject of Dr. E. T. Morris and “home operations.” As we had mentioned in the “Memories” story, Dr. F. F. Shilling often assisted Dr. Morris in such surgery from 1904 until about 1925. That was the year Shining suc­ cumbed to a stroke that had incapacitated him. Prior to 1904, other local physicians had assisted Dr. Morris with operations performed in patients’ homes. From the Nashville News, late July 1900: “Doctors L. F. Weaver and E. T. Morris drove to Kalamo Center Monday and amputated the left leg of 78year-old Charles Herring above the knee.” At press time, the patient was in excellent shape, the report noted. Just one example of the kinds of adverse situations that faced young Dr. Morris who arrived in Nashville in 1898 at age 23, fresh out of internship at Cook County Hospital in Chicago. About the time of Shilling’s death, fewer such drastic home operations were being performed as hospitals became more accessible to rural folks. However, minor surgery was still often handled at home or in the doctor’s office. Rev. Leonard -Putnam of the Nashville United Methodist Church was taken ill last week with flu and confined to home. Scheduled to fill in for him for Easter Sunday worship service at the church was Rev. Lawrence Taylor of Okemos, Lansing District Superin­ tendent of the United Methodist Church.

All meetings will be at the church. Last Tuesday, Leonard Shull of Nashville called on his niece and her husband, Grace and Bill Tarbet of Hastings, while Mrs. Shtdl attended the Nashville Garden Club meeting here. Mrs. Viola Beystrum of Nashville returnedhome last Sunday after a 5-day visit with her son, Robert Beystrum of Port Clinton, Ohio. Robert drove to Michigan to pick up his mother and also brought her home. On both trips they stopped in Battle Creek to call on Viola’s sister, Mrs. Ednah Me Connell, who is much improved after a recent hospitalization. Robert and Virginia Curtis of rural. Nashville were Saturday callers ion his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis, of this village.

The recent “Memories” piece on the history of maple sugar and syrup in the local area brought back a flood of happy memories to Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin. In a letter last week, he recalled early syrup production on his family’s farm on Eaton Road, northwest of Nash­ ville. “We had over 400 maple trees on the farm and my dad made syrup there for many years,” wrote Meade, who sometimes helped when he was in high school or at home. “Some people used evaporators then and canned the syrup where they cooked the sap. My dad cooked the sap in large pans over an arch in the sugar shanty to a thin syrup consistency. It was then strained and taken up to the house, put in a smaller pan on a stove in our ‘North Room* and cooked some more. At that boiling, they added a milk-egg mixture to cleanse the syrup. It was boiled and checked by thermometer to the consistency of syrup, strained again and canned. A gallon was supposed to weigh 12 pounds. Sandy material was strained out during this process. I supposed this was what was ‘cleansed* from the syrup,” added Meade. “My grandmother (Hannah grandmother Blaisdell Robinson) told me this was the process her father, Thomas Blaisdell, brought with him from New York State when they emigrated to Michigan in the 1840’s.” Blaisdell built the fabulous stone home on Eaton Road where Meade grew up. Constructed during the Civil War, the house still stands and the place is designated now as the Meade Centennial Farm. Kenneth’s father, Arthur V. Meade, shipped syrup he had made on the farm to customers in Chicago and the state of Washington. “We 'always kept about 20 gallons to eat ourselves,” recalls his son. “On the farm we ate buckwheat pancakes for breakfast all winter long and my dad liked syrup on cereal, bread, cornmeal mush — in fact, on most everything.” Interestingly, Kenneth A. Meade noted that his Hannah grandmother granmoer, anna Blaisdell Robinson, e Robnson, who wo came to Castleton To,wnship at age 4 in 1847 and lived here until her death at age 93, For all your INSURANCE NEEDS See or Call... TERESA JONES TRUMBLE AGENCY ^uto-Owners Insurance Vermontville Ph. 517-726-0634 or 726-0580 would noteat maple syrup or maple sugar in her later years. “She said that since maple sugar was the only sweet readily available to them when she was young, she had had all she wanted,” wrote her grandson. “In fact, she made syrup from white sugar to use on her pancakes.” Meade was pleased also with the photos of Homer Downing and the local Michigan Central Railroad depot which accompanied the maple sugar “Memories’’. He wrote: “The picture of the train was excellent. It brought back memories of the times I took the train to Ypsilanti and to Ann Arbor when I was going to college and the times we went down to the depot to see soldiers off to training camp during World War I in 1917. A number of the older high school boys were in those groups.” “Wish you had had a picture of Homer Downing’s Cadillac,” added 1912 Meade. “As you know, he lived next door to Taylor’s Livery Barn and sometimes the Cadillac was parked in the driveway. How I used to admire it and wish I could drive it it when I went to the livery barn to get my horse and buggy to go home from school. As many readers will recall, Downing lived in what is now commonly called the Rizor home on South Main Street. The Taylor Livery Barn that Meade refers to occupied the site of the present-day (Curtis Craft) Cuyler Building and the adjoining Auto Wash. As always, we appreciate Mr. Meade sharing his memories of Nashville’s past. Personal observations and recollections add a priceless touch to the “Memories” stories and we welcome all such con­ tributions. The annual Senior Girls Tea, a traditional spring event at Maple Valley High School, is set for Monday evening, April 14, at 7:30 p.m. This year, the event will be hosted by the Nashville Woman’s Literary Club, sponsors of the tea on an alternating yearly basis with the Vermontville Woman’s Club. In a slight departure from the normal schedule, the tea serving in the cafeteria wjll precede the program in the auditorium this year. Performing will be Mary Bills of M-T Dance Studio with a troupe of en­ tertainers. Senior girls, their mothers, high school teachers and their spouses, and members of the Ver­ montville Woman’s Club are invited to attend the affair. Margaret Swiger of Nash­ ville is general chairperson of decorations for the event; Barbara Sandbrook and Delores Knoll, both of Nash­ ville, head the program committee. Don’t forget the very important meeting next week Thursday evening, April 17, at Castleton Township Hall. Represen­ tatives of Gove Associates of Kalamazoo will be present to discuss a professional development plan for downtown Nashville, for which they were recently awarded a contract through a HUD Block Grant for the village and townships of Maple Grove and Castleton. Members of Nashville’s Business Owners Association and other in­ terested persons are ex­ pected to attend Thursday’s meeting. Gove will be seeking public input to establish boundaries for the project and to set up a liaison committee between the community and the Kalamazoo firm. The public is cordially invited to attend the Thursday meeting. As of last Thursday, the Nashville Syrup Association had produced 809 gallons of maple syrup for the 1980 season. Harold Christiansen, NSA president for the past 13 years, says this is the best season they have had in the past ten years. He boiled 43 gallons last Thursday. Alumni of Maple Valley, Nashville or Vermontville High Schools will be in­ terested to know * that planning began this week for the upcoming 1980 Alumni Banquet, set for Saturday, May 31, at MVHS cafeteria. Dinner will be served at 7 p.m., but doors of the school will open at 5:30 p.m. to allow the alumni an op­ portunity to visit and reminisce. Expected to meet this week to work out details on the menu, program, etc., are most of the MVHS Alumni Association officers: Kenneth F. Meade, Jr., president; Richard Todd, vice-president; Judy Hook and Betty Meade, Nashville secretaries; Elizabeth Lynch, assistant secretary; Louise Todd, Vermontville secretary, and Loretta Pixley, treasurer. According to past policy, invitations to the banquet will be sent to alumni at 5-year intervals. This saves a massive mailing but still insures that every out-of-town alumnus will receive at least one invitation every five years. For local alumni, notices will also be published in the area newspapers. Years designated to receive in­ vitations by mail this year are 1960, ’55, ’50, and etc. , in retrogressive 5-year in­ crements. Those who do not receive invitations by mail may make dinner reser­ vations by clipping and mailing a printed form supplied in the local newspapers in the near future. If you know of any local alumnus who has moved in the past year, please take time to phone one of the secretaries with his or her correct address. More details on the up­ coming event will be an­ nounced in this column as plans progress. A roller skating party at the Thornapple Rink will be sponsored from 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday, April 13 by the Sunday School of the Nash­ ville United Methodist Church. The event is open to all ages — both the young and young-at-heart. The Golden Agers of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet at Com­ munity House Friday, April 11, for a noon potluck dinner. Les Murphy, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dave Murphy of Nashville, returned to his studies at Michigan State University last .week following a “spring break” vacation in Florida. The Murphy’s daughter, Cinda, a student at Lansing Com­ munity College, spent her spring break helping her brother Jeff and ids family prepare for a move back to Michigan from . Chicago, where he recently completed graduate para-legal studies at Roosevelt University. Jeff, his wife Rae, and their daughter, Kathryn, will be residing in Vermontville temporarily. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard (Veda) Shull of Nashville called on her sister, Mrs. Evangie Miller, last week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Cole pf Lacey Road.

In addition, the Meyers will also present a Sunday morning program at 11 a.m. worship service. Their presentations will include vocal and accordian music. The public is cor­ dially invited to attend. Something new this year will be the Father-Daughter Banquet sponsored by the Nashville Baptist Church at the Maple Valley High School cafeteria on April 15. Many Father-Son banquets have been held in the past, but this is the first-time for the church to stage a Father­ Daughter event. The banquet starts at 7:00 p.m. Tord Fransson, an exchange student from Stockhom, Sweden, who is living with the Robert Blake family in Nashville, returned last week from a flight to California to visit his father who was in San Francisco temporarily. Tord is at­ tending school this year at Maple Valley where he is a senior. Mrs. Olith Hamilton of Nashville enjoyed a recent two-weeks visit to Florida. Taking a flight from Grand Rapids to Cleveland, she met her sister, Mrs. Flora Fierstine of Flint, who had also arrived there by plane.

Wednesday. April 9. 1990 — Page 4 “Another old landmark on Main Street is gone,” an­ nounced the Nashville News in early February 1926. “The old store building at the porner of Main and Washington streets, owned by Frank Kellogg, is being torn down to make a site for a new oil station to be operated by James Eddy.” The building being razed, the News advised, was one of the oldest frame structures in town, having been built about 1870 by Hod Lee, and first occupied by his brothers, H. M. and Harley Lee, with a stock of groceries. The Lee brothers later sold the store to C. W. Smith, who in turn disposed of the business to Buel & White. In time, John Appelman oc­ cupied the building but in November 1925 he had vacated those quarters, renting the brick Buxton building across the street and moving his grocery store there. By early May, the new enterprise at Nashville’s primary intersection was operational. “The new oil station at the corner of Main and Washington streets is nearly completed and will be opened for business Saturday by the proprietors, Kellogg and Eddy,” in­ formed the News. To James Eddy, his wife Lena, and three of their four children, it was the begin­ ning of nearly a decade of family operation of the White Rose station in Nashville. “We offered 24-hour service,” remembers Ed­ dy’s daughter, now Mrs. Gladys Perkins Hummel. “The station never closed; Dad slept on a cot in the ladies room.” As a child, Gladys helped out at the station, along with her brother, Arthur (“Duff’) Eddy, and her sister^ Grace. An older brother, Harold (“Pat”) Eddy was grown and serving in the U.S. Navy by then. Gladys recalls that one of herjobs at the station was to fill with motor oil a case of quart-sized glass containers topped with metal pouring spouts. The oil bought in the bulk, was pumped from barrels kept in the station. Motorists needing oil or­ dered the quarts Gladys had prepared. No haulers delivered gas or oil to the White Rose when the Eddys had operation of it In those days, the family transported the fuel them­ selves in a large tank truck SPECIAL SCHOOL ELECTION NOTICE OF SPECIAL ELECTION OF THE ELECTORS OF MAPLE VALLEY SCHOOLS EATON AND BARRY COUNTIES, MICHIGAN TO BE HELD APRIL 15, 1980 TO THE ELECTORS OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT: Please Take Notice that the Board of Education, pursuant to a directive from the Intermediate School Board of Eaton Inter­ mediate School District, Michigan, has called a special election to be held in the district on Tuesday, April 15, 1980.

This Notice is given by order of the Board of Education. Elam Rockwell, Secretary, Board of Education Autos are serviced at Jim Eddy's White Rose oil station, opened in 1926 at Nashville's busiest intersection. Across the way are homes of Dr. C. K. Brown (now Stanton's Real Estate office) and Albert Lentz. Gallons were metered but no price tallied on the early Wayne gas pumps. The station replaced an 1870 landmark grocery store, and has now been replaced By a coin laundry. they owned. Trips were made to Battle Creek to pick up supplies from a distributor there. En route home, Eddy made oil sales to farmers along the way. Gladys also recalls that he sometimes transported gasoline to the Me Intyre service station a mile north of Nashville. The early White Rose station had some similarities to modern-day versions. “We sold milk and butter there,” remembers Gladys. “We kept it in an old ice box in the station.” This required regular replenishing with ice from the wagon of John Miller, who made a daily route through Nashville streets. Milk sold at the station came from Flarinigan’s Dairy and Coats Grove Road, and butter was supplied by the Nashville Co­ op Creamery. Jim Eddy is remembered as a man who could do more work with one arm than most men can do with two. A native of Saranac in Ionia County, he had lived at Morgan about ten years before taking over operation of the White Rose station. It was on his Barry County farm that Jim lost his left arm in a corn husking ac­ cident. “After that, he went to hauling milk for the Artic Ice Cream Company of Hastings,” recalls his daughter Gladys. “He still farmed some, but not as much as before.” About a year after opening the White Rose station, the Eddy family moved into Nashville. Here, they lived in various locations, including homes on North Main and on Washington near the station. Arthur (“Duff”) Eddy, who now resides at Grass Lake, helped his father at the station by doing all the servicing and garage work on autos brought to the White Rose for attention. Duff did most of the automotive work in a small building facing Washington Street at the rear of the station. (The tiny stucco­ sided structure still stands, just behind the Coin Laundry which now occupies the site of the old station). All the work oh Dr. Stewart Lohfdahl’s autos was done at the White Rose, Gladys recalls. The doctor was situated right across the street from the station, in an office Lohfadahl had taken over when he assumed the medical practice of his brother-in-law, Dr. Carl K. Brown, after Brown’s sudden death in 1929. A trademark of White Rose stations was an approximately 8-ft. high Later style hand stroke gas pumps allowed motorists to see fuel flow from measured glass tanks on top; Relaxing here are Jim and Lena Eddy. Keep­ing the station open round-the-clock was a family affair. Son, Duff, was the station mechanic until his father's death in 1935. He then became an engineer for Michigan Central Railroad. Prices posted on pumps reveal Royal was 19.7C and White Rose Ethyl was 22.76<t per gallon. (Photos loaned, courtesy "Duff" Eddy and Gladys Eddy Hummel) Children were attracted to the White Rose trade­ mark — a boy-and-slate sign which carried daily witicisms in whitewash. Here, about 1928, the 8-ft. boy in black-and-white knickers (pants not visible in photo) says: Needed, a little chatter oil for back seat driver. In foreground are Mr. and Mrs. John Wellman, neighbors, Gladys Eddy and playmate, Yvonne, daughter of the Arthur Appelmans. signboard showing a boy holding a slate. Daily, various Witicisms were printed with white wash on the board. Among those now remembered by Duff Eddy are: “Needed - a little chatter oil for back seat driver” and “What if it does go down to zero -- that’s nothing.” The local sign bordered the north lot line. Autos were just coming into their own when the White Rose oil station opened in Nashville. That same year, Brandstetter Motor Sales opened a showroom on South Main Street. The third week of November 1926, two new deluxe type Pontiac Six fnodels were displayed. “The coupe sells for $890 and the landau sedan for $975,” advised the News. Although there may have been no direct connection, the following week the News ran this report: “A Hastings man, whose name was not learned, had an unfortunate experience here Saturday night with his car - a brand new Pontiac Six. Directly in front of Kane’s Post Office Pharmacy, he tried to make a quick U-turn, with cars coming from both directions. Misjudging his clearance, he smashed head-on into a concrete street light pole, badly smashing the front end of his car. All the water rah out of the radiator, and the car had to be towed to a garage.” Whether or' not it was Eddy’s garage is not noted. However, had the Hastings man ended Up there he might have observed another saying Duff recalls from the boy-and-slate sign: “The cause of most accidents is the loose nut at the wheel.” Phone 945-9554 for ACTION­ WANT-ADS �# Simon Pharmacy ® Vermontville * 207 N.

Acts 26:8 A Mohammedan and a Christian were discussing their religions and had agreed that both Mohammed and Christ were prophets. Where, then, lay the difference? The Christian illustrated it this way: “I came to a crossroads and I saw a dead man and a living man. Which one should 1 ask for directions?” The Mohammedan replied, “The living one, of course.” “Why, then,” asked the Christian, “Do you send me to Mohammed who is dead, instead of Christ who is alive?” This is the dividing line between Chris­ tianity and all other religions. All other religions are founded on the teachings of human men who have died, while Chris­ tianity is based on the teachings of the God­ man Jesus Christ who alone has died and risen to live again. This Easter season should be a time in which you reevaluate your religion, beliefs and convictions to see ifyou are following the resurrected Christ or the teachings of man. To deny the resurrection is to deny the only way that you have to enter heaven. (John 11:25; John 14:6) Jesus died, was buried and rose again that all of mankind might have their sins forgiven and gain eternal life. The question is, “Have you repented of your sin and asked Jesus to save you?” (Luke 13:3; John 1:12; John 3:16; Romans 10:13) 852-0882 Trowbridge Service - AUTO SERVICE CENTER 130 S.

Key to the Lion 1980 effort then will be people like Rusty Blakely who runs in both the 120 high hurdles and the 330 low hurdles. Desrochers reports that Blakely looks strong in both events and placed eighth at the March 22 Ferris Invitational in the 60-Yard high hurdles. Other senior lending their expertise will be Rod Mc­ Millan who Desrochers terms “a hard woiker” in both the mile and half-mile; David McGinley who is expected to help the team in the dashes and relay events; Don Beck who will add team strength in the shotput and discus; and Greg Sutfin who is expected to clear new heighths in the pole vaidt. “With their experience and dedication, these seniors will prove invaluable to me this year in building for the future,” states Desrochers. Other invaluable additions to the Lions squad will be returning lettermen Jeff Beebe in the 440, the mile relay, and the long jump; Tom Brooke in the shot and discus; Cory Furlong in the dashes; Dan Hoffman in the half-mile and mile relay; Steve Hummell in the hur­ dles and high jump; Don Snyder in the dashes; Jiih Travoli in the shot and discus; Brett Hummell in the dashes; and Mark Sutfin in the pole vault. Distance events should be capably handled by retur­ ning lettermen Randy Beachnau, Todd Braden, and Mike Hull. Glenn and Rodney Godby" and John Pomeroy should provide strength in the hurdles. Among the freshmen and newcomers Desrochers could pick up some welcomed strength from Cyle Cornish, Dan Halsey, Mark McMillan, Todd Pontius, Bill Tate, and Mike Trumble in distance runs. More surprises could come from underclassmen Dan Keech in the hurdles and pole vault, Tony Reid and Wes Wood in the dashes, Alan Wells in the shot and discus, and Brian Symonds and Ryan Halsey in the high jump.

(Maple Valley News photo) New Varsity Coach Randy Hummell has inherited a talented baseball club this season and hopes to guide it to an improvement over last season’s 12-7 overall record and a runnerup finish in the TriCentral Athletic Association. And, if it’s true about pitching being the key to a winning team, Hummell may feel that he’s struck gold with this group. Hummell considers it a luxury to have two starting pitchers that he can call “probable standouts.” Lefty Jeff Horn and right-handed Aaron Snider — a transfer student from Hastings — could be a potent one-two knockout punch. Hummell has tentatively settled on a starting infield lineup of Stan McClintock at third base, Terry Pierce at shortstop, Roger Drake and Todd Gearhart a second, and Don Fox at first Jeff Mead looks solid at catcher. Outfield positions appear wide open at this point but “capable ballplayers” like Chris Beebe, Vern Sargent, Jon Kent, Newman Maurer, Gordy Gardner, and Dan McClintock will be solid in back-up defense for the strong pitching duo. “Our team strength will consist of pitching and team speed,” states Hummel who’s already pawing the dirt in anticipation of the April 14 opener with Lakewood at home. Other highlights on the Lion schedule will be the traditional hook-up with Detroit Anchor Bay, this year to be played in Anchor Bay on April 19 and the April 26 Maple * Syrup Festival Invitational. Anchor Bay won the rainhampered Syrup Festival Tournament last season and did it by ruining a 1-6 Lion lead in the finale with only two outs remaining. Hummel’s Lions can’t wait to even the score. Schedule on next page — Junior Varsity baseball faces major challenge in 480 Junior varsity baseball coach Mike Booher took a couple of long, uneasy gulps earlier this year when Maple Valley Athletic Director Larry Lenz handed over the team’s baseball schedule for this spring. On the lineup are six games against Class B schools which will make a winning record over the 14game season very difficult. And that’s pressure. In IS years of baseball at Maple Valley, only last year’s 6-7 junior varsity record was a losing one for the tradition-rich Lion program. And even that losing record could have been avoided except for a rain out of a sure win against Bellevue. This year’s junior varsity team is made up of ten men.

Heading that list is senior John Davis who will likely be placed in one of the other two singles positions. Sophomores Tom McMillon, Leonard Eaton, and Brad Harris look strong but are still subject to inexperience. Sampson could get a big surprise from freshman Chris Tuckey who’s talent has caught his coach’s eye enough to pencil Tuckey in for a singles position. Completing the squad and anxious to lend their support are seniors Ray Hole and Todd Frannson and fresh­ men Jeff Burger and Ken Christopher. The Lions open the 1980 season with no less for- Coach Ed Sampson has probably been shoveling the snow off Maple Valley tennis courts all winter in eager anticipation of the year to come. With six returning let­ terwinners returning to the Sampson squad, it looks a sure bet that the Lions will be able to reverse last season’s 3-7 mark. At the top of Sampson’s list is number one singles player Jim Myers. Myers is a senior captain this season, lettered last season, and should be i dominating force at that position all year. Backing up Myers will be junior Greg Rodriquez who returns to the number two singles position. The one-two punch of Myers and Rodriquez will be a pojent one.

Nash said a public hearing — one of five scheduled around the state in late April — will be conducted by state Department of Commerce officials on Friday, April 25, 1980 in the Law Building Auditorium on Ottawa Street in Lansing, from 9:00 a.m. 12:00 noon and 1:30 p.m. 5:00 p.m. “I encourage all citizens in the area to attend the hearing because it will provide a chance to hear a detailed discussion of the proposals and allow persons to voice their opinion on each of the plans,” Nash said. The standby measures, proposed by the federal Department of Energy, could be imposed by the President if Michigan did not develop its own demand restraint measures, or if the state’s demand restraint measures did not meet the President’s mandatory gasoline conservation target, Nash said. The plans currently being discussed include voluntary gas rationing, flex-time scheduling for state em­ ployees, reductions in travel for state workers, strict enforcement of the 55 mile per hour speed limit, points for speeding, reduction of the speed limit, and a man­ datory Stricker plan, which would prohibit the use of each vehicle in the state one day a week. Nash noted that Michigan’s restraint measures would also have a large impact on the state’s second largest industry, wants us to build them a new building for offices. If we do, there will be a fairly new building and just maybe we could lower ourselves just a little and use that building for .our vocational educational building. After all I understand they have already decided to build in the Charlotte area. As we all know, the low enrollment in several school districts has caused the closing of some schools. Maybe in the near future the Eaton Intermediate Schools will have an empty school building and this could be used, and save ourselves some money. With a recession on hand, high interest rates, hard to find money, don’t you think we should look for some other avenues? Money is not always the answer, especially when we don’t have the kind of money they are talking about.

Nashville, Wednesday, April 9, 1980 — Page 13 s.s sSs State board awards E.I.S.D. $1.8 million, millage election set On April 2, the State Board of Education approved an application submitted by Eaton Intermediate School District (EISD) for Federal Matching Funds. The funds will be used for the con­ struction of an Area Vocational Skill Center if the voters of the EISD approve a one-mill increase in vocational millage on April 15. The total cost of construction, site and development of the Skill Center is $3,974,060.00. The Federal Match gives EISD an outright grant of $1,867,808.20 (47 percent) of the total cost. The remaining amount ($2,106,251.80) will be paid by the taxpayers of the Intermediate District if the increase in millage is approved on election day. If the millage increase is not k W*! W* vs kSv ‘slss S!

Ap­ proximately 24 different programs will be offered that range from drafting, nursing aide, and data processing, to welding, auto body and electronics. In addition to serving the high school population, the skill building programs would be offered to adults in the evening hours. Com­ munity college extension classes, high school com- pletion, and enrichment classes would be offered to the adults in the EISD through their local Com­ munity Education Directors. Election Day is April 15, and the polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. Voters are to vote in their regular school issue polling places. “You people found deductions and credits I didn’t know about I shoulda come here last Special riding program Art for April Students in Miss Harns' class are finding it fun to sprawl out on the floor and color a large mural depicting spring drawings.

Suggestions for chocolate dipping By Margaret Ann Ross, Extension Home Economist One of the questions asked at the Extension Office is about making homemade chocolate candies for the Easter holiday. Some recipes for chocolate coating on candies call for melting the chocolate with paraffin wax. Our food specialists at Michigan State University have checked with the Food and Drug Administration as to the advisability of this practice. Paraffin is not a permitted food additive. Since paraffin may not be' used in the commercial manufacture of chocolates, the FDA would not recommend using paraffin in the homemade candies. Ordinary bitter, semisweet or cooking chocolates are generally not suitable for dipping candies. Chocolate coating can be prepared without the addition of paraffin by using dipping chocolate. Dipping chocolate contains extra cocoa butter to give a consistency that hardens satisfactorily with a finish. Look smooth, glossychocolate ffor dipping at gourmet food shops, or bakers supply houses. Want-Ads! Obituaries Archie F. Cole NASHVILLE - Mr. Archie F.

Before 1 p.m. when flocks of local children ac­ companied by their parents arrived for the “hunt”, 60 dozen decorated Easter eggs had been cleverly concealed on the park grounds along with 3 dozen colorful plastic eggs. When the starting whistle blew, children carrying a wide assortment of baskets, buckets and bags scrambled to seek out the Easter Bunny’s hiding places. Children through age 12 participated, with different age groups assigned to various sections of the park. The youngsters who found the special plastic eggs in their search were rewarded with special prizes. The hollow eggs opened to reveal certificates naming mer­ chandise awards from Carl’s Supermarket.

Donald H. Gilmer (R-55th District). At a dinner event held at the Steak House Restaurant in Nashville, Gilmer touched on a wide range of subjects, including the state of the economy, workmans’ compensation reform, alcoholism treatment programs, Michigan’s overcrowded prisons, and the capital punishment controversy. But the single most discussed topic Wed­ nesday evening was big government. “Too many people turn to government to solve problems, making government the solution, said Gilmer. “There are not enough of us who believe government should be a problem-solver as a last resort.” Gilmer pointed out that his “no” vote on a recentlyapproved mass transit program for the Southeastern Michigan region had resulted in him being labeled as “racist” and “anti-Detroit”. Gilmer said state programs are implemented because “somebody is demanding these services.” “I- don’t know of any legislator who has proposed a program that no one has ever asked for,” he added. Gilmer said he has not in­ troduced a bill in the House the past two years, but he noted there was one representative from the Southeastern Michigan region who has introduced 75 bills in that time period. This proposed legislation is often used to brag at r6-election time, he added. Gilmer said his mail clearly reveals that there is now a tax revolt going on in Barry County, with the letter writers and others complaining that “property taxes are killing us.” Gilmer reminded the audience that property taxes do not go to the state, but rather to support local levels of government and local schools. Many of his con­ stituents, Gilmer said, tell him that “We voted for Headlee (Tax Limitation Amendment), but our taxes are still going up like crazy. ” Gilmer said that Headlee did put a limit on state government, as Michigan now spends less money per capita than it did a year ago. Gilmer briefly explained to the Nashville audience the many tax cut and tax shift proposals that may appear on the November ballot, if current petition drives are successful. “Voters are going to have some huge decisions to make,” remarked Gilmer. He predicted disaster if the Tisch proposal is approved. “There would be very little of state government left if it is approved,” said Gilmer. “Michigan will survive, but it may change substantially.” He said the other proposals would significantly reduce property taxes. Gilmer generally blamed the high cost of state government on large lobbying groups for special interests. “There are 400 lobbyists in Lansing, all lobbying for their own programs — whatever they may be,” he commented. Major contributors to a legislator’s election cam­ paign can affect how that' lawmaker votes on a certain issue, he noted. Gilmer a provided personal example. The MEA had contributed $2,000 to his 1976 campaign, but when he failed to vote the way they thought he should on a certain issue, they gave $2,500 to his opponent’s campaign in 1978, he said. Gilmer told the Nashville group that he personally favors a shift to sales tax as an alternative to property tax. He said it was the most fair solution. A shift to in­ come tax would mean that “the middle class supports the country, as they always have,” but he indicated that even that plan would be more fair than property tax. A lively question-andanswer session followed Gilmer’s presentation. In that discussion, Gilmer pointed out the very grave situation facing Michigan due to overcrowded prisons. He blames public sentiment against establishing new prisons for a situation which he said could very well “turn into an Attica.” “There are three things that nobody wants built next to them,” noted Gilmer. “That is an airport, a land­ fill, or a prison. ” But all are had been wrapped with necessary, he pointed out. newspaper.

Nashville woman dies in home fire The cause of the fire which brought death to 84-year old Mrs. Viva Mace was due to a basement heat tape which had been wrapped with newspaper, fire officials say. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) Mrs. Viva Mace, an 84year-old semi-invalied who used a walker to get around, perished early Wednesday morning when her home at 702 Kellogg Street was gutted by fire. Authorities said Thursday that Mrs. Mace died of smoke inhalation. Neighbors spotted the flames and called the alarm in at 5:37 a.m. The Nashville Fire Dept, responded and later summoned Ver­ montville to bring a tanker to the scene. The firefighters battled the blaze for more than six hours, and retrieved Mrs. Mace’s body from the dwelling. Fire officials Thursday listed the house as a total loss, and said the cause was a basement heat tape which �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, April 16. 1980 Page 2 Nashville News Thanks to the Nashville Lions Club and the local Chamber of Commerce, a new ambulance that has been ordered for the local department will be equipped with a new 4-channel Motorola 2-way radio. Grant funds which are paying $18,000 of the approximate $23,600 cost of the 1980 Ford vehicle did not cover the expense of the necessary radio equipment. The local Lions Club recently voted $2,000 for that purpose and, last Wednesday evening, the Nashville Chamber of Commerce approved an addition of $500 to the fund. Ambulance department spokesmen say that the total amount now pledged should be more than sufficient to cover the anticipated cost of the radio unit. Delivery of the new ambulance is ex­ pected in about 45 days. The 1980 maple syrup season ended last week for the Nashville Syrup Association. It was a good year, reports NSA President Harold Christiansen, with 846 gallons of syrup produced by the association at the sugar shanty in Putnam Park. The going rate is $17 per gallon now, so this should be a profitable season for the volunteer organizations that par­ ticipated in the 1980 com­ munity project. The job of pulling hundreds of sap buckets off village trees started early last week. Where was that elusive tornado? Many local folks reported hearing TV news accounts last week of a twister in Castleton Town­ ship in Barry County. The National Weather Service reported Tuesday that a tornado had touched down near Hastings, but police said the report was un­ founded. There was some minor high-wind damage in this area last week, but nothing as serious as a tornado, to the best of our knowledge. Mrs. Margaret Wagner and Mrs. Elizabeth Lynch, both of Nashville, enjoyed an Easter trip to Detroit, where they spent the weekend with Elizabeth’s son and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Lynch of Grosse Pointe. A special Sunday treat was a tour of the Renaissance Center where Bill’s office is located. The ladies also called on Elizabeth’s cousins, Mrs. Lurah Gaskell and Mrs. Effa Purdy, both of Detroit. They are natives of Nashville, two of the Mead sisters who grew up across from Putnam Park in their family home which is the present-day Douse residence.

On Palm Sunday, Mrs. Johncock hosted a pre­ Easter dinner for Mr. and Mrs. Dick (Shire) Johncock and sons, Chad and Jason, of Hastings. Mr. and Mrs. Gaylord Gould of rural Nashville returned home last week after a month-long stay at Davenport, Florida. While there, they enjoyed touring Cypress Gardens and also had the opportunity to see an exhibition baseball game at Lakeland in which the Detroit Tigers defeated Baltimore. The Goulds’ daughter, Mrs. Tom (Beverly) Oleson of Nash­ ville, and her son “Andy” flew to Florida to join her parents about two weeks prior to their departure and accompanied them back to Michigan. The Goulds found Florida weather generally very pleasant, with some days in the 90’s. Easter weekend visitors at the home of Mrs. Ruby Ball of Nashville and her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Vico Spidel, was Ruby’s daughter and family, Mrs. Sandra Hunt and daughters, Debbie and Kathy, of Holt. Along with Ruby’s son and his wife, Robert and Susie Ball of Nashville, they attended Sunrise Services and Easter Breakfast at the local United Methodist Church with Mrs. Ball. After dinner with Ruby and her parents, the visitors enjoyed a tour of the sugar shanty in Putnam Park where boiling of sap was underway, as the maple syrup season drew to a close. Our recent Memories feature on the Methodist Church in Nashville drew favorable comment in a letter received last week from Adolph Douse, Jr., who By Susan Hinckley wrote that he had enjoyed the story and from it had learned things he had not known about the early history of the church. “My father, Adolph Douse, Sr., was janitor of the church for many years back during the period when the addition was made to the church,” he noted. “This addition was called the ‘Community House* and was built with monies donated by the merchants and everyone in the community, so it was called the Community Building.” The upstairs of the addition, with its spacious new kitchen and auditorium, was the largest place in the community for banquets, plays and meetings, so it was used a lot, Adolph explained. As a boy, he helped his father many times in setting up and taking down the long heavy banquet tables and in sweeping the floors and dusting the bhairs. “When the Community House first opened, there was a very nice gym in the basement for the youths of the community, and at was pretty well equipped for that period of time,” wrote Adolph Douse, Jr. He recalled going there the day the gym opened. With him was Kenneth Meade, a frequent contributor to this column who now lives at Franklin. “There was a mob of boys there and everyone was trying to get his chance to use the different things,” remembered Adolph, “I was younger and smaller than Ken and when some older, bigger boys tried to pull me off the trapeze bars, Ken came to my assistance. I have thought about that little instance many times over the years whenever I think of Ken Meade.” “I still remember the huge furnace, and I helped my father fire it many times. When'it was very cold in the winter, we would start the fire on Saturday night and keep it going all night in order to have the building warm for Sunday.” Even­ tually, because of main­ tenance and repairs and responsible, ownership, the building was given to the M.E. Church, explained Adolph. “But the older people of'Nashville will remember it as the Com­ munity House,” he con­ cluded. Adolph also expressed his appreciation for the recent Memories on the Hannemann Dry Goods Store. He knew owners Ed and Clara Hannemann very well, as they were neighbors on State Street for many years. During Adolph’s early years at the Furniss Drug Store - a business he later owned - his close friend, the late Richard Wheeler, woiked for Ed Hannemann at the dry goods store. Both boys were in high school at the time. “Dick and I had similar chores,” remembered Adolph, “such as opening up the stores at 7 a.m., sweeping the floor and sidewalk, shoveling the walk in the winter, then dusting the counters before going to school at 8:00. We would return to the stores at 3:45 p.m., work until 6:00 and all day Saturday.” Adolph noted that both boys started working for $1.50 per week. “By my senior year, I was getting $4.50 per week, which was pretty good pay at that time,” he added. Mrs., Adrien Pufpaff of Nashville received word last week that her niece’s husband, Melvin Stephens of Muskegon, is seriously ill with diabetic complications. Mrs. Pufpaff also heard from her son Kenneth of St. Petersburg, Florida, who suffered a recent heart at­ tack. He is improved but is still unable to resume his moving van operation, though he recently ac­ companied his drivers, as a passenger, on a trip to Ohio.

Despite a broken wrist sustained in a fall at the La Brqa Tar Pits in downtown Los Angeles, Mrs. Petie Latta of Nashville enjoyed a recent 3-weeks vacation in California, where she visited her daughter and family, Susan and Gordon Gutchess and daughters, Jennifer and Ashley* at Corna. The injury was sustained on an ex­ cursion of the pits where prehistoric animals were fossilized in an ancient, oil field, arid are now preserved in a museum on the site. Mrs. Latta Latta’s’s mishap prevented her from making a planned trip to Chico near San Francisco to see her son John Latta and his wife, Marty, who reside there. Instead, Petie had additional time to take in the sights near the Gutchess home. A trip was enjoyed to HannaBarberra’s Marineland, where killer whales were viewed, and to the Chino Auction, where a variety of goods are offered for sale. Petie also had an op­ portunity to attend Jen­ nifer’s school play, Ashley’s 5th birthday party, and a neighborhood Easter Egg hunt and potluck dinner in the lovely Corona area where the Gutchesses live. The weather was lovely, with fragrant orange blossoms and a profusion of flowers everywhere. On her arrival back in Michigan, she was met at the Kent, County Airport by Mr. and Mrs. Wayne (Sherry) Gould and Mrs. Ona Hinckley, all of Nashville.

The original Feighner children grew up and had families of their own. Very school was a log structure few new people or tenant built on land owned by John farmers moved in,” added Feighner, an 1855 settler in In March. 1910, there were ten students at Feighner School. Castleton Township's first school was built in 1842, but by 1880 there was one brick and ten frame schoolhouses in the township with 608 scholars. In 1880, the township employed 8 male and 15 female teachers, receiving an aggregate yearly salary of $2,363. The total school buildings were valued at $4,615.

The site of that school is now the ap­ proximate location of the home of Von and Helen Rasey, on the north side of Thornapple Lake Road. (Helen is a great - grand­ daughter to John Feighner.) The Feighner family .also played a role in the sub­ sequent relocation of the school to a site in Section 26, almost directly across the road from the original log cabin school. The new frame school, probably constructed prior to 1880, was built on the property line of acreages owned by descendants of two early pioneers: John Feighner and his neighbor, Theobold Garlinger. A quarter acre of land was donated by each family as a site for the new schoolhouse, which featured dual front doors add a traditional belfry. From her father, the late Harley Feighner, Helen Rasey acquired an ancient hand-held brass bell which was used by ’ early schoolteachers before the belfry wdfe installed on the new building. Feighner School was heated with wood burned in a school daily from a neigh­ bor’s house, usually the home of Harley Feighner. Dorothy’s other early memories of the school in­ clude the raised platform near the blackboard where the teacher sat and the school piano. She also recalls nature-centered studies. “We used to gather weeds and learn to identify them and various trees,” she noted. “Nauire was a very important part of that school as we weje all farm children.” Helen Rasey remembers that in the late 1920’s the school woodshed was con­ verted to another us§. It was moved back of the schoolhouse, connected with an anteway, and converted into a hot lunch room. “The kids would take turns bringing potluck dishes of potatoes or vegetables,” she explained. ‘‘We received meat for the daily program from the county.” Two children Were ap­ pointed for each hot lunch day, and the teacher would oversee the preparation and serving. Perhaps because of the tiny enrollment at Feighner School, the innovative program was a success. But residents in Fractional District No. 6 were ap­ parently never bashful about supporting their school with new ideas. When the first local Parent-Teacher Association was organized in the area, a chapter was formed at Feighner in the mid 1920’s. “Our PTA here was so active that the parents used to get together and put on plays at other schools to raise money for Feighner School,” । said Dorothy The Feighner School on Thornapple Lake Road northwest of Nashville replaced an earlier school­ house of logs, situated across the road on the original John Feighner property. The latter building, shown here in 1925, was constructed on land donated equally by families of Feigner and his neighbor, Theobold Garlinger, descendants of whom still live on the two adjoining farms. The woodshed at right later became hot lunch room back of schoolhouse which was sold in 1940's and is now the Dewey Dull residence.

In addition, Dorothy remembers playing piano to a accompany similar benefit-performing quartette comprised of her father, Roy Garlinger; her uncle, Freel Garlinger, and neighbors Dale Downing and Glen Moore^ But even such dedicated parent­ performers could not forever keep the financial wolf from the door of country schools. Rural 7th and 8th graders had for several years taken required Barry County exams to enter high school at Nashville. By the early 1940’s, almost all the surrounding country schools had been completely con­ sumed by the consolidated Nashville system, and even the young tots were coming into town for their education When the rural schools closed their doors for the last time, an era of local history also ended. But like the Feighner District, many seats of country learning still live in happy memories of the past.

Wednesday, April 16, 1980 — Page 6 Village and township officials plan meeting to seek solution over hall rental fee issue In the interest of com­ munity harmony, a threemember delegation from Nashville’s village council will meet May 7 with the Castleton Township Board in an attempt to resolve whether or not the village should pay the township a rental fee for use of their hall for Nashville’s public meetings. A controversy on the issue flared last month after the township board proposed such a fee, and suggested the amount of $60 for five monthly village meetings plus $15 for every meeting over that amount. They said the amount was open for negotiation but some village officials were immediately outspoken against such a plan and proposed moving village meetings out of the township hall rather than to pay a rental fee. Under a 1978 agreement with the township, Nashville currently pays half the electric bills in the hall. The large meeting hall which the village uses is electrically heated. For the'past fiscal year, this cost the village $288. Village officials were critical of the township’s proposed charge because they said Nashville residents pay property taxes to Castleton Township and should not have to pay ad­ ditional fees to Use die hall. Approximately 58 percent of the township population lives in the village. “Do we want to create animosity between the two units of govern­ ment?” asked trustee John Hughes at Thursday’s village council meeting. “Technically, it is totally foolish to have a building like this exist to have one meeting a month in,” he said. Hughes referred to the one regularly scheduled town­ ship meeting held in the hall. The village conducts four regularly scheduled monthly meetings in the facility, along with all village elec­ tions and other special meetings. Trustee Helen Curtis said that to preserve community harmony, the council should meet with the township board to discuss the matter. Curtis said the township board has asked for a council delegation to meet with the township board on May 7. Village President Harold Christiansen then appointed Curtis, Hughes, and trustee Carl Tobias as a committee to attend that meeting and bring back recom­ mendations to the village council. Nashville officials who have opposed the proposed rental fee have suggested moving village meetings to a recently renovated villageowned building in Putnam Park. Another issue that divided the council Thursday was the question of whether a “bird HAIR We Color it Curl it, Frost it! CALL TODAY!

The village had offered for sale a 1978 Chevrolet Nova which was recently replaced by a new vehicle purchased for the Nashville Police Dept. Sealed bids on the old auto were opened at Thursday’s meeting, and they ranged from $350 to $1,086. But trustee Forrest Babcock said then that, according to book value, he felt that even the highest bid was too low. “I would like to see it (the car) put back up for bids,” said Babcock. “I think it’s worth more money than that.” He said the council should resubmit the car for bidding. A minimum bid of $1,085 was suggested. The individual who had submitted the high bid Thursday said he would not hold his bid over since the council had rejected it. This means that the council could end up with no buyer at the minimum price set in the new bidding. “In my opinion, I think we’re going to spend some time (getting rid of the car),” said Sgt. Gene Koetje, acting police chief, “and I don’t think we’re going to get that much more.” He noted that the vehicle carries a municipal title which tends to lower value. However, by a 4-2 vote, the council decided to re­ advertise the auto. Sealed bids over the $1,085 minimum must be submitted to the Village Clerks office by 5 p.m. Thursday, April 24, h 226 sign up for “Little J: League’ program Nashville’s Summer little league ball program has distributed and collected slips to the kids who want to play baseball or softball this summer.

The Eaton County 4-H Program is sponsoring bike hikes, tentatively planned for the first and third Saturdays of each month, and some evening rides after daylight savings time is in effect. These hikes are also in preparation for a ride to Cornwell’s Turkey Farm, south of Olivet, June 21. According to Nancy Diuble, 4-H Youth Agent, “the next ride will be April 19, meeting at noon at the Fairgrounds in Charlotte, for a 10 mile ride. Anyone is welcome and bring along your family and friends.” The funeral is a rite of separation. It confirms the reality of death. This, psychiatrists say, is a necessary beginning toward healthy adjustment to the loss. Viewing the deceased in the casket confirms the fact of death, safeguards mental health by promoting the acceptance of reality.

William J. Stanton and son, Steven E. Stanton tallied 361 auctions in the last two years — covering 11 counties last year and 13 counties in 1978. In addition, the pair (known as Bill and Steve to their loyal following) heads a real estate staff of 16 persons who work out of offices in Nashville and Vermontville. “Our aim is to please both buyers and sellers” — is the foundation of the Stantons’ business. Bill was involved in general farming before he got a taste of the auc­ tioneering business in 1954, working with Lloyd Eaton in Vermontville. _ In 1957, Bill opened his own business in Vermontville as an autioneer and realtor. Since that time, the business has expanded to two offices, one operating in Nashville in addition to ermonve. Vermontville. Steve joined the business in the early 1970’s. Both father and son graduated from Reppert’s School of Auctioneering in Decatur, Indiana. Both also are real estate brokers. Bill and Steve usually work the same auction together unless they happen to have two sales on the same day. Selling real zestate at auction is a growing recent development for the Stantons and one in which they’ve by Dora J. Nisse IgH^i tat (t 13* ?।।DOh gr.i-fftaWli' Ul ifeB idbtff»t dsM iUS3 ISI®!” d WM.

Wednesday, April 16. 1980 — Page 10 Vermontville Public Library news — A weekly report from: Senator Richard Allen The shoe’s on the other foot Upper peninsula and rural Michigan legislators have for some time felt our metropolitan legislators dominate Michigan polities and impose one-sided restrictions on our home areas. People making good livings in urban areas are quick to vote .to conserve and preserve rural and northern Michigan even at some significant costs to the rural and norther economics. However, the shoe is on the other foot this week. With a strong push for federal law we are imposing emission testing requirements on cars in urban areas. Why only urban areas some urban legislators complain? Because that’s where the problem is, comes the logical answer. Auto emissions are an obvious problem. Smog problems in Los Angeles, Denver and other urban areas are one of the most dramatic examples. And it’s obvious that recent restrictions on industry and autos have improved the situation just as pollution laws are allowing Lake Erie to return to life. Agriculturalists are also becoming increasingly aware of crop damage from air pollution. Bean fields especially are sensitive. So we all support standards aimed at alleviating the problem. Unfortunately, cleaner air does not come without costs. Cleaner cars burn more gas. The catalytic convertor decreases efficiency. So how much clean air are we willing to pay for? I think it makes sense to let it vary depending on where you live. Our testing program .is a first step in that direction. Drivers in rural and nor­ thern areas will not have to pay for the tests and tuneups that are really necessary in urban areas to help meet minimal acceptable stan­ dards. California has stricter standards than the rest of the country. Fine They need it. Ibelieve we could go a step further and allow more ef­ ficient but perhaps dirtier cars to be sold in rural, low populated states and areas. Some of my friends with whom I_have worked on environmental issues are aghast at such attitudes. But, if we are willing to impose restrictions on water, land use, billboards, etc., for rural areas that could not be lived with in industrial metropolitan areas, why not the other way around?

Mrs. Homer (Teda) Snow of Nashville returned home last week after a fabulous 2­ weeks stay in Hawaii. She made the trip with her daughter, Barbara Snow of Lansing. They, arrived in Honolulu on the Island of Oahu aboard a jumbo jet from San Francisco. They spent five days shopping, sightseeing, and watching surfers from their 12th floor hotel room on Waikiki Beach. At a nightspot, they enjoyed entertainment by Al Harrington, formerly of the Hawaii Five-0 TV show, and comic Jim Nabors. The 24­ hour International Market there was a highlight. Next, they flew to the Island of Kauai, often called the Garden IslancU-for a 3-day stay. On the Walua River they glimpsed the Fern Grotto, a traditional setting for fantasy weddings. Dinner at the Coconut Grove Hotel was followed by a torchlight ceremony and native dan-. ces. The next stop was Maui, an island_ where they spent three days touring the quaint historic whaling port and viewed many sights and fantastic sunsets. Next came a 3-day visit to the Island of Hawaii and the black lava beaches of the Kona Coast. Flowers were in profusion? The visitors enjoyed an opportunity to watch the dolphins as part of a glassbottom boat cruise. Of course, the trip included stops at the traditional sights of Pearl Harbor, the USS Arizona, and the War Hero Memorial Cemetery. In all, the ladies boarded 8 planes and 4 boats during their 2week jaunt. All ac­ commodations were in beachfront hotels. Spec­ tacular rainbows were frequent sights, as rain showers briefly interspersed the sunshine. As a farewell, the guests were treated to a Luau, with traditional ceremonies and foods. As the two prepared to board a jet for the flight home, Tecla was happily surprised when Barbara had a bouquet of beautiful anthuriums delivered to her. The flowers were kept chilled on the flight home. The bouquet was in honor of Tecla and Homer’s wedding an­ niversary on Easter Day. The travelers arrived home in time to celebrate the holiday here, and Tecla was still enjoying the flowers several days later. Easter Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. George (Janet) Kellogg of Nashville were her brother, Charles Crawford ofJackson, and hisfriend, Gloria King" After dinner, the visitors enjoyed a tour of the sugar shanty in Putnam Park and also an excursion through Putnam Public Library, with which they were greatly, impressed. to Brenda Fisher who worked with this group all six weeks, a start was made in that direction last sum­ mer. Without a script of any kind, she and the children put together a muppet show. The enthusiasm of the children who did the per­ forming as well as that of those who saw the “show” made us realize that this is the way to go with this group this summer. Books of plays have been ordered through the library. Hildred Peabody will be coordinating our efforts with these older children, and if you desire to help, please call the library. Via a grant through the Capitol Library Cooperative, we now have a new 16mm sound projector, a large screen, and a microfiche reader, all of which should do a great deal to expand our services. Thanks to Sally Martin, our children’s room has bright new curtains. Thanks also to Joyce Hummel for the art work she has been doing for the library. The impact of dur “Friends” organization is already being felt. The Woman’s Club will again be serving free cookies and coffee at the library on Syrup Festival Day.

Although we did not receive No. I ratings at band festival, Mr. Wentworth, a past M.V. Director gave us a No. II in sight reading. This we can be proud of. As you all know, it is most difficult to get a No. I rating with a band as large as ours. It is a team effort. The students must practice at home each day as' well as in the classroom. As in a machine, all parts must work smoothly together. The director must also put in a lot of extra work, which Mr. Johnson has. He cares enough to spend many additional hours after school working with individual or groups of students. This has been without additional pay. He also has worked with sec­ tionals, to improve our band. The band is a team effort and requires participation from all members, as in any other team, to perform to its best ability. In order to maintain the necessary discipline of such large classes, (125, Sr. High Band, 75-80 Jr. High Band plus all of the students in 5th and 6th grade bandX, it was important to establish a way of control that was fair to all. This has been a source of agitation to some special interest groups. They fail to see the band as a whole and only consider themselves. This is sad that mature adults are so self-centered. Music is a discipline in itself. If students are not in­ terested enough to follow the rules then perhaps they should not be in band, or disrupt those who want a good band and are willing to follow the rules of the class. This is my public ‘thank you’ for a job that has just begun and is being well done. With Mr. Johnson’s help we can be proud once more of our school and our band. Betty J. Rogers 5171 Berryville Rd. Nashville I do not live in Nashville, but have lived within three miles of Nashville for seventy years. My wife and I have both our parents buried in the Nashville Cemetery, along with many close relatives and friends. We were surprised and disappointed to discover the cemetery being used commercially for making maple syrup.. We thought Nashville had too much pride and dignity to lower itself to this level. Now, I have made mistakes in my life, the same as anyone else. I am hoping and praying this tapping of trees in the Nashville Cemetery is a mistake of judgement and will be stopped immediately and the cemetery returned to the peace and dignity for the dead, for which it was intended.

Mrs. Clarence (Bunny) Shaw of Nashville, who regularly sends copies of the Maple Valley News to for­ mer area residents now living in Florida, California, and Kentucky, had a letter last week from one who will be remembered by several local readers. He is Rev. Wendell Bassett, who grew up in Nashville and later served here as minister at the old Evangelical Church. Rev. Bassett is currently Associate Pastor for the 1,600 member United Methodist Church at Sebring, Florida, He will serve in that post until Sept. 1, according to the message received by Bunny. She thought many erf his friends and acquaintances would enjoy hearing of Wendell’s present whereabouts. Returning home on Good Friday from a winter’s stay at San Antonio, Texas, were Mr. and Mrs. Maurice (Ardis) Purchis of Nashville. They had been in the sunny south since shortly after Christmas, and while there enjoyed the February wedding of their oldest granddaughter, Teresa Purchis of Floresville. After their arrival home, they enjoyed entertaining,, as Easter weekend guests, two other granddaughters : Alissa Davis of Hastings and Kirsten Pecor of Platt River. Following the holiday, Mr. and Mrs. Purchis, ac­ companied by Allissa, drove Kirsten home. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard (Veda) Shull of Nashville were Sunday visitors of Mr. and Mrs. Kendall Guy of Bristol, Indiana. Ac­ companying the Shulls on the trip was Lisa Guy of Battle Creek. Mrs. Eliza Emery of Nash­ ville returned home last week from Vermontville where she had spent several An elderly woman was fingering a knotted string. "Oh, .this string is just the dearest thing to me. My grandmother taught me when I was a little girl to get a new string on each birthday. And then when something good happens, when God smiles on your life, you tie a knot in your string. Then when the days are dark and lonely, when despair is very real, you get out your string and remember the good times. Then the pain isn't so bad." d V 1 B FUNERM.

Mrs, Verna Frederick of Nashville spent Sunday and Monday in Battle Creek, visiting her friend, Mrs. Dorothy Vickers. Mrs. Mildred Bursley of Nashville was at Hayes Green - Beach Hospital in Charlotte Sunday to call on a former Kalamo neighbor, Mrs. Ara Me Connell, who is confined there. Mrs. Me Connell now lives at Charlotte. In recognition of their 40th year since graduation, members of the Nashville’s Class of 1940 will be honored at the 1980 Alumni Banquet, set for the evening of May 31 at the Maple Valley High School cafeteria. In order to make the special event a success, help is needed in locating several members of the class so that they may be informed of the reunion. Current addresses are needed for the following former classmates: Mary Anne Wright Schultz, Margurite Leonard, Ora Miller, and Charles Vanderlinden. If any Maple Valley News readers have information on these “missing” 1940 grads, there are several reunion com­ mittee members who would welcome a call. Please notify any one of them. They are, from Nashville, Marlin Bera Hansen, 852-9140 and John and Montiel Dull, 852-1601; from Hastings, Gladys Bassett Bolo, 945-2074 and Maxine Martin Brower, 945­ 4433; from Charlotte, Doris Dahlhouser Wilson, 543-1327, and John and Norma Hickey, 543-7039. Rehder assistance would be greatly ap­ preciated. Plans are also underway for a reunion of members of Nashville’s Class of 1930, who will also receive special recognition at the alumni banquet in observance of the golden anniversary of their graduation. More details on that reunion will be fur­ nished in a later issue of the Maple Valley News. Judy Hook,, Nashville secretary for the Maple Valley Alumni Association, is also seeking reader assistance as she begins the huge task of getting banquet invitations in the mail; Addresses are needed for these grads: Clayton Wolf, 1915; Allen Buckingham and Julia Palmer, both Class of 1960. Judy can be reached at By Susan Hinckley 852-9655. Judy is also seeking information about two very early Nashville grads. If still living, they would both be near ninety years old. Does anyone recall Leonora M. Beigh, now possibly Mrs. Arthur Wolfe, from the Class of 1905? How about Artha Rarrick, now possibly Mrs. Glen Lake, of the Class of 1910? Please give Judy a call if you-ean shed any light on these two subjects. Other help is needed from local readers. Does anyone have catalogs from the old Lentz Table Company, and, if so, would they consider donating them to the Michigan and Local History Room at Putnam Public Library? As far as we can determine, a catalog was published about every year of the company’s ap­ proximately 50-year operation on Lentz Street, but only two such books are currently in the library collection. Actually, the Lentz family manufactured furniture in Nashville for over 75 years, starting from humble beginnings in 1867 and eventually expanding to the Lentz Street factory which was later phased out in the 1940’s. Putnam Library received a request last week from a California woman seeking information on the company and, in particular, on a gate-legged table that had been manufactured here. She needed the data for a paper on the history of furniture which /she is preparing in connection with her studies at Santa Monica College. Unfortunately, the table she described did not appear in either of the two Lentz catalogs now on file at the library. Along these same lines, Librarian La Duska Sheldon reminds readers that before any old papers, books, photos, etc., that might be of local historical interest are disposed of or destroyed by owners, the library would appreciate an opportunity to review the material. Any such gifts to the library collection will be appropriatley marked with the donor’s name. Clifford Brooks of Nash­ ville returned home last week after a 12-day visit with his daughter and family, Audrey and Ford Bowling of Hamilton, Ohio. Mr. Brooks made the trip by auto. Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis of Nashville accompanied her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Robert Curtis, to Hastings last Tuesday. ( Mrs. Nellie Moon of Nash­ ville enjoyed a Sunday visit from Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Eaton, Jr., of Battle Creek, who were accompanied by Nelson Brumm of Nashville. Herbert’s late father was a former classmate of Nellie at the old Striker School near Quimby. Mrs. Moon enjoyed helping her guests identify students in an old photo from the Striker school district The Eatons brought the picture along when they called. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. David Finkler of rural Nashville on the birth of a daughter Saturday, April 12. The new arrival weighed 6 lbs. 9% ozs. at birth, and has been named Amanda Marie. She is welcomed home by brothers Daniel and Andy, and a sister, Cheryl.

She had exciting news for them, as she had just been named to the Dean’s List for achieving over a 3.5-average in Fine Arts. On their return trip to Michigan, the Me Millens encountered almost bumper-to-bumper traffic as countless “snowbirds” headed north.

Help from community organizations and interested citizens is being sought by the Riverside Recreational Development Corp., as woik on the Sept. 19-20 Harvest Festival progresses. To make the affair a success, it will require an effort by many persons. The small RRDC committee cannot possibly handle all the proposed events without assistance. One Nashville organization which has already committed itself to help is the Chamber of Commerce. If you, or your club, church or group wish to get involved in the 1980 Harvest Festival, please call Lois Elliston at 852-9544 or Sallye McLean at 852-0892. It was four years ago that the RRDC first revived Nashville’s annual Harvest Festival, a traditional yearly event first celebrated in 1906. The planned April 25th outing at the “Y” Center in Battle Creek for Senior High Youths of the Nashville Baptist Church has been cancelled, advises Youth Pastor Roger Claypool. Mrs. La Duska Sheldon, head librarian at Putnam Public Library, was in Albion last Tuesday to attend a meeting of the Woodlands Cooperative Library System at their headquarters there. The session was a cataloging and processing workshop for member libraries of the cooperative. Instruction was received from represen­ tatives of Baker and Taylor, the company from which Putnam Public Library and other co-op members pur­ chase books at special discounts. At the Albion meeting, it was announced that cataloging aids will now be furnished with each book bought from the company. The Putnam staff will continue to do the individual processing of each newlyacquired volume. Last week’s “Memories” on the old Feighner School northwest of Nashville was of particular interest to Mrs. Clarence (Bunny) Shaw, of this village. The former Bernice Mead, she taught at the Feighner School in the 1914-15 school year and again in the 1920-21. Bernice lived in the village at that time and walked back and forth each day to the country school, located in Section 26 of Castleton Township on Thorriapple Lake Road. The school was about a mile north and a half-mile west of Nashville. Mrs. Shaw said she really enjoyed the beauty of nature on her daily jaunts there. She also recalled several of the scholars pictured in the “Memories” story, as they had been her former students. Mrs. Shaw ex­ pressed her appreciation for the many happy memories the story had revived. Friday visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence (Margaret) Reid of Nashville were Darrel and Karen Reid and son, Matt, of near Kalamo. Saturday callers at the Reid home were Dave and Anetta Tredinnick of Hastings and Vernon and Jo Anne Reid of Charlotte. After their visit here, the two couples went on to Battle Creek for dinner out to celebrate the birthdays of Annetta and Jo Anne. Sunday dinner guests at the Clarence Reid home were Jean Reid of Nashville; Erie Whitley of Kalamo; and Sue Reid and daughters, Arnie and Erica, of Nashville. Mrs. Dave (Anetta) Tnedinnick of Hastings accompanied her father, Clarence Reid of Nashville, to the Nashville Baptist Church’s Father-Daughter Banquet held last Tuesday evening at the MVHS cafeteria.

A 6-day revival starts Tuesday, April 22, at the Nashville Church of the Nazarene. This is a rescheduling of one planned earlier this month that had to be cancelled due to illness. Conducting the Tuesday through Sunday evening services will be Rev. and Mrs. Harold Meyers, representing the Michigan Home District of the Church of the Nazarene. Jhese services all start at 7 p.m. In addition, the Meyers’ will also present a Sunday morning program at the 11 a.m. worship service. Their presentations will include vocal and accordian music.

Neil Strait, pastor of the First Church of the Nazarene in Lansing, will be the speaker. Bob Herman of Nashville is in charge of arrangements for the retreat. Mrs. Bertha Becker of Nashville is in Ingham Medical Hospital in Lansing after sustaining a broken hip in a fall at' her home last Wednesday evening. At this writing, she was expected to undergo surgery Friday morning. The mishap oc­ curred when Mrs. Becker was preparing to retire for the night, and she lay on the floor until the next morning when a neighbor discovered her and summoned help. Mrs. Becker was first taken to Hayes-Green-Beach Hospital in Charlotte by Nashville ambulance. She was later transferred to Lansing. The address there is: 401 West Greenlawn, 48910. We wish this sweet and cheeful lady a very speedy recovery. Please remember her with a card or letter. One of the pictures we used to illustrate last week’s “Memories” feature on the old Feighner School was a 1910 photo of the student body, with the notation that most of the early scholars were unidentified. In fact, we knew only two names at that time. Since the story appeared, Mrs. Elmer Curtis (nee Ethel Feighner) of Nashville phoned us to supply the missing names. Mrs. Curtis was able to positively identify all but two of the students. If you still have that paper, perhaps you will want to add this update to the article. Back row, from left: teacher, Alice Whetstone, — Raymond, Mabie Feighner, Pauline Miller, Ruth Gutchess, Shirley Feighner. Front row: Merle Smith, Ethel Feighner, Violet Feighner, — Raymond, Ada Noyes, Hugh Feighner. Mrs. Curtis is not absolutely sure of the last name of the two Raymond boys, but thought that was correct They were renters in the area, where families were generally rooted for years. Feighner School was noted for its tiny enrollment due to low property turnover in that area northwest of Nashville. Mrs. Curtis is a grand­ daughter of John Feighner, the 1855 settler upon whose land the original Feighner School was built. Incidentally, in matching the above names to the old photo, t remember that Shirley Feighner is a boy, standing extreme right back row. He, Mabie, Violet, and Hugh were brothers and sisters.

Michigan • Olivet, Michigan �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, April 23,1980 — Page 4 Century-old census figures reveal that Nashville recorded a population ex­ plosion one hundred years ago. In the decade ending in 1880, the local head count increased over 60 percent. “The actual population of Nashville, in this year of 1880, is 1,028 souls,” advised the News in June. “In 1870, it was only 642.” Nashville's unprecedented decennial boom was precipitated by the 1869 arrival of the Grand River Valley Railroad, which triggered a building boom in the ’70’s. As the fledgling village began to expand both commercially and residentially, the populace began to swell. New settlers arrived on the scene. Pioneer families put down permanent roots. Nashville was soon faced with the need to supply basic municipal services to its burgeoning population, and local government began to experience exciting new growth. “The people living on the west side of State Street appeared in a body before the council Monday evening and asked that a sidewalk be built on their side of the street,” noted the News in early May 1875. “The village fathers took the matter under consideration but reminded the petitioners that money is hard to come by these days.” However, within a month the sidewalk was laid and State Street had the distinction of being the only thoroughfare in town that could boast sidewalks on both sides. Was money really hard to come by in 1875, as the council had claimed? When the annual treasurer’s report of village finances was given in March that year, it showed Nashville had a cash balance on hand of $366.78 and a true reserve above liabilities of $241.78. “Disbursements during the last year totaled $3,650.96,” noted the News, “which clearly indicates village finance no longer can be classed as small time.” Orno Strong, the first and undoubtedly the most con­ troversial editor-publisher of the News, was a close ob­ server of the village government scene from the time of his 1873 arrival in town. Sometimes he had a personal interest. ' “The venerable village dads spent half an hour Monday night studying the News bill for $10.26 worth of printing, and then quickly allowed Clement Smith $61 for legal service, without a dissenting voice being raise,” advised the News in late December 1874. “Strange indeed are the ways of government.” Local politics made headlines' in Nashville’s early days. In fact, a few hotly-contested races predated publication of the printed word here. Nashville’s first village election in April 1869 occured more than four years before the first Nashville News appeared in October 1873, but word of that “exciting time” was passed verbally by local historiansand recorded in later years. A ruckus of sorts revolved around that first election because it was charged that some men working on the railroad (apparently non-resident) had voted.

It was not uncommon to see a 90-percent voter tur­ nout in Nashville’s early elections, which indicates how important politics was to local residents then. In March 1903, Nashville history was made when 314 votes were cast in a village election. This was 17 years before the 19th amendment to. the U.S. Constitution granted full suffrage to women, so the tally is quite significant when one con­ siders that it represented the “male only” vote in Nash­ ville that year. Discounting all women and children from the total village population, 314 was a very sizeable voter turnout. In that record-setting election, Lewis E. Lentz was chosen as village president by a majority of 49 votes over Henry C. Glasner. Ernest Roe, for clerk, and John Appelman, for treasurer, were the only candidates elected by. the Citizens Party that year; all other village offices went to the Republicans. Victor B. Furniss was elected assessor. Henry C. Zuschnitt, S. L. Hicks, and George W. Gribben were chosen as village trustees. The office of trustee of the village of Nashville paid the sum of two dollars a year to the office holder, that is, if the office holder happened to be present at a meeting held once a year to “declare election.” In little more than a quarter century, changes were made in that procedure. “For the first time in history, members of the village council are to be salaried,” noted the News in late February 1930. “In their meeting Monday night, they voted themselves a salary of one dollar per meeting, not to exceed $25 per year.” (1980 note: trustees now receive $25 per semimonthly meeting, and administer a village budget that has in­ creased more than a hun­ dredfold over the past century, with the 1980-81 total exceeding $479,000.) Turn-of-the century Nash­ ville officials all received meager salaries by today’s standards. In 1898, the treasurer’s salary was in­ creased to $25 a year and that of the village assessor to $40 per annum. Village finances were considerably less complex in those days of individual independence, when citizens demanded few government services. -Easily acquired revenues handily covered the essentials. “At a special meeting of the village council Monday evening, it was decided to Horse and buggy brought many a shopper to Nashville s Main Street in 1906, back when an annual $5,900 municipal budget kept the town running for a year. This was before the day of the village's paved streets, major parks; public library, and 1909 sewer-system. The early budget did, however-, furnish municipal water, , hire a town marshal, provide a small jail in conjunction with town hall, support a volunteer fire department, and maintain several miles of dirt roads in the village. Children romp on Nashville's unpaved South Main in 1909; the street was not bricked until 1917; Approximately one quarter of the early annual village budget maintained dirt and gravel streets, with the major outlay for building and grading, sprinkling to lay the dust from spring through fall, and snowing village bridges foi; winter sleigh traffic.

This was before the day of the library, major village parks, and the 1909 sewer system. The street fund maintained all un paved roads, including Main Street. By the following year, the council voted to increase the amount to be raised by taxation from $5,400 to $5,900 for the year. “This amount will pay off the total village in­ debtedness which amounts to $1,700,” noted the News in mid May 1906. In the same issue, the News advised readers of this now-nostalgic brief: “The State of Michigan has six million dollars in the treasury and does not owe a dollar.” County youths eligible for state public speaking award An Eaton County young person could be named Michigan’s 4-H public speaking project winner and represent the state at National 4-H Congress in Chicago this fall, says Nancy Diuble, Eaton County 4-H Youth Agent. To be eligible, entrants must be between 14 and 19 years old and must prepare an outline of their speaking activities and a short essay on how their public speaking experiences have helped them learn to communicate. “Public speaking is a skill young people can use throughout their lives,” says Diuble. “The purpose of the public speaking program is to help young people im­ prove and refine their presentation- skills and gain confidence in their abilities.” Ten young people will be chosen fromthose nominated by county Extension offices statewide. Each young person selected will receive a full scholar­ ship to 4-H Exploration Days at Michigan State University in June. During the event event, the 4-H’ers will participate in a two-day interpersonal skills workshop and will- be required to give a threeminute impromptu speech. The group will then select one individual to represent Michigan at National 4-H Congress, Nov. 23-27 in Chicago. Eaton County 4-H’ers interested in participating in the public speaking program should submit their outlines and essays to the county 4-H office by April 28. For more information about the 4-H public speaking program, or other 4-H activities, contact Nancy Diuble at the Eaton Coufity Cooperative Extension Service office at 543-2310.

Robin, David, Matt, and Chyerl, you did a super job. Several women from Vermontville attended the 75th convention of the Eaton County Federation of Women’s Clubs in Grand Ledge last Friday. County officers from Vermontville are President. Roz Lingholm and historian Martha Zemke. Our congratulations to Roz and Martha on their elec­ tions into the Women’s Club county offices. It was our pleasure to present the cantata “It Took A Miracle” at the Gresham Methodist Church Sunday. The church was full to over flowing and the response was so gratifing it made the effort seem small indeed. Thanks to Hildred Peabody and Dorothy Carpenter for their time and patience spent with all of us in bringing this beautiful cantata to our community for this Holy Season. Got quite a contest to run off for the office of County Clerk among the four Republicans filed, no Democrats have announced as yet. Should be interesting to say the least Beautiful weather is keeping most everyone close to home doing yard work, etc. So news is scarce. If I’m missing yours it’s because you haven’t notified me.

Melodramas will provide a wonderful entertaining change of pace every hour from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday. Bulletin lists vegetable recommendations If yours is one of the 37 million households that will be involved in vegetable gardening this summer and you can’t decide from the vast array of seed catalogs what’s best to plant in Michigan, here’s a help. The Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service has a brand new guide to the best varieties to plant in Michigan and how much to VOLUNTEER WEEK - The Governor has declared this to be Volunteer Week in Michigan, in recognition off our heritage based on voluntary action and involvement, and the many volunteer groups woiking at the local, regional and state level. NO PRIMARY? - Uncertainty continues about the status of Michigan’s Presidential Primary scheduled for May 20. A court injunction has been issued to stop it, based on a suit by county clerks; three other court suits seek changes»in the way Democrats are selecting their delegates. Also, HB 4392 could still be passed to kill the primary and save its $4 million cost. plant to meet family needs. The bulletin, “Home Vegetable Variety Recommendations,” E760(a), is available at the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service office in Charlotte, relates Allen Krizek, County Extension Director. The publication also lists optimum planting dates and estimated yields and provides a map that shows the average number of frostfree days available for gardening. This information can be valuable when you’re choosing crops and specific varieties. Vegetable gardening can be hard woik, but it can be a good stress-reliever. It can also help families fight in­ flation. The average value of a home garden is between $330 and $675. LIEUTENANT VETO Lt. Gov. Brickley, Acting Governor when Gov Milliken is out of the state, recently vetoed SB 783, which required continuing education for insurance agents, solicitors and counselors. He said it called for unnecessary regulation and would cost too much. This is only the second time in recent memory that a Lieutenant Governor has vetoed a bill. CAMP CROWDS - Beginning May 1, only registered campers will be allowed into 19 state park campgrounds due to overcrowding; generally, this restriction will last until Labor Day. To make sure that you have a campsite, you should fill out a reservation application at any DNR district office, or state park. It costs $3 and must be received at least 15 days ahead. GASOHOL GO-AHEAD - A special committee drawn from business, industry, colleges and state government has recommended that the state proceed with initiatives for production and increased use of gasohol as an alternative energy source. Several present bills would encourage that. VIOLENCE HOTLINE - A statewide, toll-free telephone number has been established for anyone to call to get information about the domestic violence' program located nearest his or her residence: 800-292-3925. This will be an­ swered 24 hours a day, seven days a week. MINORITY BUSINESS - There will be a statewide seminar in Grand Rapids next Wednesday, April 30, on state and federal rules and laws which promote business par­ ticipation by minority-owned firms. There is a $12 fee. For further information, call 800-292-9544, toll-free. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, April 23, 1980__Page 9 A weekly report from: Senator Richard Allen direct, encourage or government help.

The event was hosted by the Nashville Business Owners Association. In­ formation was presented by Jack Howell, project planner with Gove Associates, a Kalamazoo engineering firm that was recently awarded a $7,500 contract to design a master plan for downtown Nashville. The funding came as part of a $405,000 Block Grant for the U.S. Dept, of Housing and Urban Development, monies designated for the village of Nashville and townships of Castleton and Maple Grove over the next two years. Among various projects for which the grant funds have been earmarked by HUD is a professional development plan and engineering survey for Nashville’s business district. Local input was sought and received by Gove Associates at Thursday’s meeting. In­ addition, a local committee was named to act as a liaison between the community and the Kalamazoo firm during the design project. Jerry Brumm, owner of Nashville Hardware, was chosen to head the com­ mittee. Serving with him will be Max Kelley, Dave Mace, Don Hughes, and Jerry Johnson. Also, Brumm said he would seek committee members to represent both the local Chamber of Commerce and the Nashville Village Council. Thus far, the Nashville Business Owners Association has been primarily responsible for initiating development of a master plan for Main Street. At Thursday’s meeting, boundaries for the project were set. The district will be bordered by the Thomapple River on the north, the railroad tracks on the south, Water Alley on the west, and Pine Alley (behind Central Park) on the east. The district will also en­ compass the new villageowned parking lot west of Main Street. The recently awarded design contract covers only development of a master plan. Implementation will rest with the individual property owners and mer­ chants. However, Gove expects to be able to steer local businessmen to other available funding and low­ cost loans. “We’ve got to be agressive in getting our share of dollars out of the govern­ mental bureaucracy,” Howell told the audience Thursday. “There’s no golden goose, but we can put together some good in­ centives.” Store owner Max Kelley quizzed Howell about the present trend of small shopping plazas being established outside of towns, to the detriment of downtown merchants. Howell said that trend seems to be turning around. “President Carter’s urban policy provides some pretty strong incentives for the preservation of Main Streets,” he added. At table, from left are: Dick Chaffee, president of the Nashville Business Owners Association; Jack Howell? project planner with Gove Associates; and Ben Mason, secretary of the NBOA. No target date for com­ pletion of the design project has yet been set, but it is anticipated that it will be completed this year. Howell said the plan will (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) help the merchants work toward a unified goal. He noted that he does not necessarily favor a “theme” as some towns have adopted, such as converting all store fronts into Bavarian style, etc. Part of the Gove plan will include data collection and a market analysis of the community, to determine buying habits and needs of local shoppers. from our readers We would like to comment on the hearing that was held April 14 regarding disciplinary action taken by Principal Burr Hartenburg involving papers that were allegedly left by a student on a table in the hot lunch room. To our understanding of the situation, this student arid two other boys were told by Mr. Hartenburg to pick up the lunch room for two weeks. When this was not done to Hartenburg’s satisfaction, the student was suspended from school for one day which will go on his school record and he wifi not get credit in any of his .classes for that day. In the first place, the papers left on the table (causing the original problem) did not belong to the student because Ife buys a hot lunch. There were only two members of the (Maple Valley) board of education who even dared question Hartenburg for his actions. It is our concern as parents that the board would stand together and up-hold such actions. It was stated that the Sylvia Fisher 115 E. Casgrove, Nashville Diana Kuempel 10030Thornapple Lake Rd. Nashville student’s father had made too big an issue out of this; We believe too big an issue was made by Hartenburg in the first place. If the school would make as big an issue teaching the students, as they do over trivial mattersjwe might find students doing better and being more interested in school?

April 23. 1960 — Page 17 100 attend senior girls tea Last Monday brought a wintery blast to the Maple Valley area, but it couldn’t dampen the spirit of a traditional springtime event - the annual Senior Girls’ Tea. Approximately 100 persons were in attendance at the affair, staged at the MVHS cafeteria the evening of April 14. Hosting the event was the Nashville Woman’s Literary Club, which alternates sponsorship on a yearly basis with the Vermontville Woman’s Club. After an official welcome by WLC members at Mon­ day’s event, the young guests of honor introduced their mothers. Refresments were then served, with WLC president Elizabeth Lynch pouring. Decor for the event was in shades of pink and maroon, the latter representing a chosen color of the Class of 1980. A bright spring bouquet and maroon candles cen­ tered the main table. Guest tables were brightened with seashell decorations. Each of the senior girls was presented with a seashell stickpin ■as a memento of the occasion. The jewelry was , hand­ crafted by members of a WLC committee headed by Margaret Swiger. After refreshments, the group retired to the high school auditorium for en­ tertainment presented under the direction of Mary Bills of M-T Dance Studios in Nash­ ville. Several tap and jazz renditions were, performed by talented young dancers instructed by Mary Bill and Terri Myers, and the two leaders also entertained with a duo dance presentation. In addition, Terri did a pan­ tomime entitled “The Bracelet.” and Mary later vocalized in “The Way We Were," a song she dedicated to the seniors Also making a hit with the audience was the “Monday Night Special,” a local bluegrass and gospel group. Five members of the troupe were present Monday, with Kim McMillon and Carrie Henry harmonizing to the accompaniment of Larry Corkwell on mandolin, Jerry Fager on banjo, and Lowell McMillon on guitar. Carrie Henry also played banjo. Members of the Monday Night Special: Carrie Henry, Lorry Corkwell, Jerry Fager, Lowell McMillon, and Kim McMillon entertained at the program following the tea for senior girls.

It was the first solo competition for most of the students and two brought home first (I) place honors. Damon Geary, a seventh grade student at Maple Valley, earned a first for a Saxophone solo. Tammy Corkins,' an eighth grade, received a first for a clarinet solo. For the competition, students were scheduled at a specific time and place to perform before a judge. Judges rated the students’ performances in several areas. Judges were all from outside the district. Local students who earned a II rating were Karen Long, solo; clarinett Dawn Cogswell, clarinet solo; Jeff Bahs and Craig Ostergreen, for a brass duet; Tammy Corkins and Cheryl Briggs, duet; woodwind Mark Valdick and Kurt Hartenburg, brass duet; Kevin Ohm, David Reese, Tom DeGroot, and Barb Gurd, sax quartet. Third place winners were Audrey Dumont, flute solo; Stephanie Waliczek and Audrey Dumont, duet; Jenny Filter, Lynette Williams, Cheryl Briggs, and Jackie Gardner, flute quartet. Also, the clarinet trio comprised of Karen Long, Doreen Cook, and Dawn Pixley were told that their general performance warranted a first place rating, but they could not technically receive it because their short piece did not meet the time requirement. Accompanying some of the students during the event was Pat Zanter, music in­ structor. Roy Johnson is director of the band. Get out in front, call it a parade By Margaret Ann Ross, Extension Home Economist There’s an old saying that kicks around city halls and newspaper offices: “When you’re being run out of town, get out in front and make' it look like a parade.” If you feel that you’re being run around the town by the complications and cir­ cumlocutions of modem life, run to College Week ‘80. It offers more than a dozen leadership classes and workshops designed to help you find the front of the parade. Sponsored by the FamilyLiving Education program of the Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service and by the MSU College of Human Ecology, College Week ‘80 is open to all Michigan citizens. Classes meet June 16-19 at MSU. Judy Reynolds, president of the League of Women Voters in Lansing, will focus on federal, state and local government in “Citizens’ Role in Education.” Beth Moore, Extension specialist in public affairs, will show how the pieces of “The Legislative Puzzle” con­ tribute to the making of state laws. “Personal Leadership Skills for the ‘80s,” taught by Howard . Hickey, MSU professor of administration and higher education, is designed to improve the individual’s ability to work in organizations. Colleen R. Cooper’s course in “Creative Teaching” will offer new ways to present ideas to inspire people to learn in church, youth or adult groups. Registration information for these and the more than four dozen other College Week classes is available from Ann Ross, Eaton County Extension office, 126 N.

Vermontville's 1980 Maple Syrup Queen (left) Rebecca Jo Cowell smiles at the crowd as she rides down Main Street on the royal float. Also shown is alternate Tracy Wawiernia. In April of 1940, a crowd of about 2,500 gathered in picturesque Vermontville to join in the festivities of the village’s first maple syrup festival. Last weekend — four decades later, — the occasion was the same, but the throngs who attended the three-day event were estimated at 18-20,000 per­ sons. Pure maple syrup- has been the event’s drawing card for the past 40 years. Crowds stood in lines waiting to be served a meal of golden brown pancakes drenched in sweet homemade syrup. They also swarmed around the producers’ booths which featured maple products priced from a few coins for a piece of maple sugar to $19 for a gallon of syrup. Festivities began Friday evening with a talent show and concluded Sunday with a variety of contests. Many traveled miles to attend the annual event, like Richard Hayes of Jackson who brought his two grand­ sons with him; and a group of ladies from Canada who like to travel together and were discussing a recent trip to. Las Vegas while they waited in line for pancakes. The klomping of wooden shoes was a new addition to the sounds and sights of the festival. The West Ottawa Dutch Dancers of Holland entertained the crowds "with two performances and participated in the parade. The Saturday afternoon Grand Parade was the biggest festival attraction, drawing about 6,000 who lined the streets to view the Cont. page 8 — "Soft Sculpture" original creations by Rulon of Detroit was a unique display at the arts and crafts show.

April 30. 1980 — Page 2 Nashville News Fifty new postal lock boxes recently installed in the lobby of the Nashville Post Office should ease the crunch of supply and demand. Since there is no door-to-door delivery of mail in Nashville, there is a high demand for lock boxes at the post office. Newcomers have usually had to join a waiting list and call for their mail under General Delivery in the interim. Now that situation should ease, ac­ cording to Postmaster Elmer J ar vie. Before the recent addition, there were 400-plus residents renting lock boxes to receive their mail. Under the current system, village residents may have mail delivered only to rural boxes located along major arteries and to the extremities of Main Street. Mail is also delivered to rural boxes along Fuller Street and to a few rural boxes located inside the village limits on West Casgrove and East Street. Most folks living in the heart of the village must still make a daily trip to the post office to collect their mail, or a similar jaunt to a main artery delivery route. The disadvantages of such a system are compounded by the fact that an estimated 40 percent of these mail patrons are senior citizens. Petitions for foot carrier service in Nashville, and ac­ companying news stories, drew lots of attention but little action last summer. Perhaps the time is ripe to try again. After all, it is election year! Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Michael (Sandra) Schutte of Charlotte on the birth of a baby daughter, April 19, at Sparrow Hospital in Lansing. Michael is a former Nashville resident. The new arrival has been named Angela Marie. She weighed in at 7 lbs. 2 ozs., and is welcomed home by brothers Patrick and Joey. The Nashville Fire Department was called out Thursday forenoon to a reported chimney fire at the Glen Wagner residence on South M-66 near Assyria Road. A fire had ignited near the stovepipe on a Franklin fireplace, but the blaze was out when the firefighters arrived. It is the second such call this winter to the same residence. Word has been received that Mrs. Bertha Becker of Nashville is doing as well as can be expected following hip surgery at Ingham Medical Hospital in Lansing. The operation was necessitated by injuries Mrs. Becker sustained in a recent fall at her home. Her hip was fractured in the mishap. The address at Ingham Medical is: 401 West Greenlawn, Lansing, 48910.

Congratulations to our next-door neighbor, George B. Dean, who will be ob­ serving his 96th birthday Thursday, May 1. Bom in 1884 on his family's farm near Maple Grove Center, George grew up there and attended the old Me Kelvey country school. Later, he drove a horse and buggy into Nashville daily to attend classes at Nashville High School, graduating in 1902. That was the same year the first brick schoolhouse burned to the ground. George is probably one of the very few individuals still around who attended classes in the 1884 structure, which was originally known as the Union School. It proceeded the brick schoolhouse that most of us remember. George furthered his education at the University of Michigan and Tri-State College at Angola, Indiana. After an interesting career as a steam engineer for the Southern Pacific Railroad in California, he returned to Michigan in 1920 to work as a standards engineer for General Motors in Flint. The years have not dulled George’s thirst for knowledge. He is a familiar sight in the reference room at Putnam Public Library. There is scarcely a political issue, past or present, upon which he cannot wisely expound, and he had a keen min'd for local history. . Bicycles brought lots of company to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence R6id of Nashville Saturday, April 1. From near Kalamo came Darrel and Karen Reid and boys, and from Hastings came Dave and Anetta Tredinnick and children. All had lunch with the Reids. Also present were Arden and Sue Reid and daughters of Nashville. Saturday evening Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Reid of Nash­ ville attended the wedding of a niece, Dee Ann Mann, at Battle Creek. Sunday, the Reids enjoyed a potluck dinner brought to their home after church by the Darrel Reid and Dave Tredinnick families. Clarence and Margaret Reid were in Cadillac from Monday through Wednesday last week to be with their" son Darwin and his wife, Norma, and , family following the death of Norma’s mother, Mrs. Helen Tussey of Cadillac. Tuesday, Clarence and Margaret Reid, ac­ companied by son Vaughn and granddaughter Betsy Reid, went on to Kalkaska to call on son Jerry and his wife, Kay, and have dinner with them. The Clarence Reids returned to Nashville Wednesday after attending Mrs. Tussey’s funeral. We were sorry to learn of the unexpected death Saturday of Howard E. Brumm, a former Nashville resident now of Charlevoix. The Brumms had recently returned to their home there after wintering in Florida. Howard had been a frequent contributor to the Nashville News column and the series of “Memories of the Past” articles. Howard grew up in the Nashville area. His father G. Ed Brumm operated a greenhouse here in the 1920’s. Howard at­ tended Castleton Center School as a child. He graduated from Nashville High School in 1925 and entered college at Western Michigan that fall. He never lived in Nashville after that time but was a frequent visitor here. In 1929, Howard married the former Leia Palmer of Nashville. Howard retired in 1967 after 39 years with theH.J. Heinz Co. Howard would have been 75 on May 30.

A popular misconception in Nashville' is that the village park which bears his name was a gift from Put­ nam. Not true. “While the Putnams were recognized as Nashville’s most generous citizens, Putnam Park was not one of their gifts,” wrote the late Len W. Feighner, longtime publisher of the Nashville News, in a 1935 letter to a later editor. “Putnam Park was bought by the village of Nashville from the Ralston heirs and was paid for by village money.” Charles had donated to the community a tract of land near the Thornapple River west of Main Street for an athletic field, developed by volunteers and now commonly remembered as the old River Park ball field. Mrs. Putnam, the former Agnes Smith, in 1912 paid for construction of a small brick building on Main Street to serve as a Women’s Restroom and deeded the facility to Nashville (1980 .note: this building now serves as Village Hall). And, of course, the Put­ nams bequeathed to the village their magnificent 1885 brick home on Main Street for use as a public A circular fountain pool with iron railing was Putnam's 1910 project at the park. Later, a similary-styled wading pool was constructed nearby. Both left lasting memories for early Nashville children, who frolicked on a beautifully manicured velvet-like lawn while adults occasionally scaled the nearby 'standpipe.

Board of Education Maple Valley Schools Vermontville, Michigan Putnam's 1909 project at the park later named in his honor was to construct a summer house. The 14-ft. square structure was often used as a bandstand for Sunday coricerts in the park, and occasionally served as a stage for patriotic oratory on Decoration Day or Fourth of July. Putnam also set out many of the trees in the park. library. That final gift from the philanthropic couple also included several items of antique furnishing in the residence, their personal 300volume library, and a $10,000 endowment fund for maintenance of the facility. “The Putnams should be kindly remembered by the people of Nashville and its community for these generous gifts,” continued Feighner, ‘‘But I am satisfied that neither of them would want credit for a gift which they did not make.” Despite Feighner’s at­ tempt to set the record straight, there still persists today the false impression that the Putnams donated the large park which en­ compasses Standpipe Hill near Nashville’s northern boundary. Though Putnam can’t be credited with giving the land, he did give much of this time and money to the care and improvement of the park, and the village council deemed it only fitting that what had always been called “Waterworks Park” should be named in honor of the man who had done so much toward its development and perfection. Early diaries of longtime village engineer Frank Russell, whose baliwick was the, park, logged the dedication of Putnam, a man whom Russell often fondly referred to as “Put”. “April 14, 1909... Charley Putnam set some trees in the noted Russell. park,” noted “August 23, 1909... Put is working on his summer house.” Construction on the stillstanding structure continued throughout that summer. In the fall, the Nashville News took note in a mid­ October story. “Work on the summer park house resumed Tuesday,” advised the report, which gave a detailed description of the open-sided 14-ft. square cement block structure. “When completed, it will be a beautiful ornament to the village park, as well as a place of rest,” concluded the writer. The next year brought new Putnamimplemented projects to the park. “May 13, 1910... Charley Putnam putting up outhouse at the park,” noted Russell, who often got in­ volved in the work. “May 28... Charley Putnam had some seats (benches) come for the park. I set them up.” On June 8, 1910, Russell wrote that Putnam had commenced work on the park fountain. A week later, village employee William Charles Putnam arrived in Nashville in 1865 as a 19year-old drifter, and over the next 50 years rose to prominence in the business and social world. The philantrhopic efforts of Putnam and his wife gave Nashville an early athletic field, a Women's Restroom on Main Street, and a public library...but-not the park which bears his name. Woodard got the cement bottom in the circular base. “Woodard finished up cement work on fountain,” noted Russell on June 20. Four days later, he wrote: “Putnam got the fountain started.” The following month, on July 5, the diary reveals that “Putnam got the paddle pond (shallow wading pool) in working order.” Both these circular-based watery delights hold special memories of many early* Nashville children. “Back in the early days, when they built the first pool (fountain) in the park, Frank Russell made the flowing waterwheel which turned continually as the water flowed from the top,” recalls Adolph Douse, Jr. “They later built a second pool, which was a wading pool. I remember it well as it was very slippery in the bottom, and during a Sunday School picnic I slipped and fell with my good clothes on, getting soaked to the skin.” The Meade family who lived where Adolph now resides, across from the park, took him to their house and furnished dry clothes so he could return to the picnic. In the summer of 1911, a K very significant activity was going on in the park. “Charley Put putting in foundation for his sign,” noted Russell on June 29. And, on July 5th, came the big event. “Charley Put put up the park sign (bearing his name).” The village he had twice headed as president and long served as park com­ missioner had .bestowed a fitting honor. Charles Putnam had arrived in Nashville in 1865 at age 19, a restless young man of limited schooling, one of eight children of Miles Putnam, an Adrian County pioneer farmer, who had arrived there via Ohio from his native Massachusetts. In Nashville, then hardly more than a scant seh tlement, Charles took any kind of work he could find, Continued next page NOTICE to...

The village had planned to improve the barn for use as a storage shed for equipment that will be used to maintain the new wastewater treat­ ment facility to be located nearby. The family of Scott* Decker, a village employee, resides in the house on the A .neighbor premises. spotted the fire about 4:30 a.m. and notified authorities. The structure was well in­ volved by then, and when the Nashville Fire Dept, arrived they discovered that a larger barn near the burning building had also been ignited. - Winds estimated at 30 mpg carried live sparks rapidly across adjacent grass fields but fortunately none burned. The firefighters promptly extinquished flames on the larger structure, but the small 24 x 78 building was a total loss. The barn was insured for $2,500.

Citizeninput invited at Town Hall meeting Nashville’s first annual Town Hall Meeting is set for 7 p.m. Thursday, May 1, at Castleton Township Hall. Plans are to call such a meeting in the spring of each year. In March, the Nash­ ville Council voted to establish the annual Town Hall Meeting in an attempt to ^encourage more public participation in village government. Subsequent yearly meetings will be called alled by each outgoing council. Village officials hope the public forum will provide direction for the incoming council, which takes office each April 1.

Also lost were all contents of the small barn, including a tractor, combine, gravity flow box, corn drill and several bushels of soybeans belonging to Richard Harris of Battle Creek. Fire of­ ficials set the estimated total contents loss at $5,000, and said they were not covered by insurance. Harris owns an adjacent acreage, some of which is to be sold to the village for the sewer project. Harris had stored his farming equip­ ment in the village-owned building. Cause of the fire was still under investigation Wed- nesday. Decker, a Nashville fireman, noted nothing unusual when he put the family’s dog outside about 2:30 a.m., except that the animal was barking in­ cessantly. It is presumed that the fire started sometime after that. An inspector from the state fire marshal’s office in Lansing was on the scene Wednesday morning with local fire officials and Barry County officers. Nashville firemen remained on the scene until about 7 a.m. Approximately three hours later, one local fire truck was called back to extinquish a small blaze that had re-ignited in the debris.

(5-13) Tax relief for land owners By Allen Krizek, County Ext Director It may be time to take another look at how Public Act 116, Farmland and Open Space Preservation Act fits into your financial situation. According to Alien Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director, in May 1974, P.A. 116 was passed into state law to protect farmland and open space. The Act provides tax relief .to a landowner as long as the owner agrees to keep it in substantially un­ developed condition. The landowner pays property taxes as before, but any amount by which the tax on the land under agreement exceeds 7 percent of the owner’s household income, becomes a tax credit applied to the state income tax. If the credit is larger then income tax owed, the excess is refunded to the owner by direct payment Krizek says that many Eaton county landowners would benefit by enrolling in the Act. Interested landowners should contact the County Clerk’s office for application forms. The paper work should be started soon, since it can take from five to six months to reach a final agreement with the state. Additional information on P.A. 116 is available at the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service, 126 N. Bostwick, Charlotte. Phone 945-9554 for ACTION-ADS MEANINGFUL MESSAGE - Governor Milliken, in Japan last week to promote trade for Michigan, telephoned back to again make the point that it would be much easier for Michigan to attract new business and jobs if we had reform of the workers’ comp system. PRIMARY ACTION - The status of Michigan’s May 20 Presidential Primary remains in doubt. Ajudge has ordered the primary not to be held due to its cost to local govern­ ments; and a legislative committee has met to consider repealing the primary. FITNESS WEEK - This has been designated Michigan Health and Fitness Week by the Governor, to highlight recreational opportunities and to promote physical fitness activities leading to good health, improved energy and long life. JUVENILE CODE - The House last week approved HB 4774-75-77-78, which together would, provide the first major revision bf Michigan’s juvenile code in over thirty years. The aim is to eliminate jailing of juveniles, provide couseling services, provide shelters for runaways, and give the courts more options in dealing with juveniles who commit violent crimes. I supported the intent of this legislation but reluctantly voted no on this package because it will cost millions of dollars to implement. During the current budget crisis in state government, it simply is not the appropriate time to start this major new program. TAX PROPOSALS? - There is much in the news of various tax-change proposals which are being proposed for the ballot this year. At last count there were around twenty major ones including both petition drives and legislative resolutions. However, as of this date there is no tax change proposal which has qualified for the November ballot. LIGHTS OUT - The Attorney General has ruled that two state laws prohibiting pilot lights on certain appliances using natural gas or liquid propane as a source of fuel are unconstitutional. He said the prohibition is not expressed in the laws’ title and another purpose is included. Our Con­ stitution requires that each law have' a single purpose in its title. SCHOOL EXPENSES - Governor Milliken has vetoed HB 4806, which would have permitted reimbursement of school board members for functions other than school board meetings. He said this is counter to our longtime tradition of “citizen” rather than “professional” school boards. MASSAGE PARLORS - Just before leaving for Japan, the Governor signed into law SB 493, which requires that massage parlor employees be paid minimum wage and that employers keep wage records. This is intended to help crack down on illicit massage parlors and sexual activities. TRAVEL PACK - National travel experts have rated the travel literature put out by our Travel Bureau as among the five best of the fifty states. This has resulted in additional good publicity for Michigan as a travel destination. Tourism is one of our three major industries.

That amount was the sole bid received after the council had rejected four earlier bids on the auto two weeks ago. The high offer at that time was $1,086, but the council decided by a 4-2 vote to turn it down and re­ advertise the car in hopes of securing a better offer. However, the sole bid received by Thursday’s extended deadline netted only an additional $14, which is approximately half the cost of ads placed by the village to secure new bids. “What you’ve done here is spend $26 in advertising to get $14 more than we had (offered us for the car) at our last meeting,” trustee Ray Hinckley told the four trustees who had favored rejecting the initial high bid. “That’s a heck of a waste of taxpayers’ money.” The initial high bid of $1,086 was overruled by the majority of the council, who favored re-advertising the vehicle. The early top bidder declined to hold his offer over. Trustee Forrest Babcock had suggested resubmitting the car for bids because he said he felt that even the high bid of $1,086 was too low, according to book value. On a motion by John Hughes, the majority of the council agreed two weeks ago. When they divided evenly Thursday on the issue, both Babcock and Hughes had voted to accept the $1,100 bid from Rorey Garn of 615 Sherman-St., Nashville, who bid on behalf of the Eaton County Christian Community, a Charlotte-based church group that reportedly hoped to acquire the vehicle for a Vietnamese family they are sponsoring in this country. In other action Thursday, Citizens of the week 2*488* Awards for good citizenship have been presented to Matt Carpenter, Michael Bhantz, Kevin Engel, Amy Martin, and Ken Meade this week.

Under direction of the Jr. High Student Counpil, and with the blessing of the Maple Valley schopl board and the guidance of several teachers, the youngsters devoted an entire afternoon to the job of cleaning up the premises. Shrub beds were weeded, trash was picked up, the lawn was raked, holes on the ground were filled and bare spots were seeded with grass. “We have a great school here and we want it to look nice,” said Jennie Filter, president of the Junior High Student Council. The whole idea of the cleanup was to improve the appearance of the school yard,, and Wednesday’s effort made a noticeable improvement. ‘‘It was entirely the kids’ idea and we think it’s great,’’ commented Russell Koons, one of the supervising teachers. Workers were rewarded with a good supply of coke and hot dogs, furnished by the student council. And the industrious youngsters completed the project in plenty of time to enjoy the treats. Fill dirt was trucked by backbreaking effort. Wheeling the load is Dan Lykins, w hile Jay Greene handles rake and Don Lee, jight, scatters grass seed. Holes were filled and grass seed sown during a spring sprucing job at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School last Wednesday.

Eight teams participated in the tour­ nament as teams from Hastings, Charlotte, Eaton Rapids, Ionia, Olivet, Pennfield, Bellevue came to Maple Valley. Maple Valley drew Bellevue in their opening round and the Lions were victorious 2-1. Jeff Horn pitched the Lions to victory, giving up only four hits to the Broncos. The Lions were paced by Don Fox,, two hits; T Todd Gearhart and Jon Kint, one apiece. The second ball game of one the Lions will greatly treasure as the Lions downed Hastings 11-1. The Lions had their hitting shoes on as they pounded the 10 hits against three different Hastings pitchers. Don Fox got three more hits as in the two ballgames. Fox played, he was now five for five. Also getting hits for the Lions were Todd Gearhart, Chris Beebe, Aaron Snider, Jeff Mead, Stan McClintock, Terry Pierce and Jon Kint, all with one apiece. Arron Snider gave up only one earned run and tossed a fine three hitter. The Lions would now be in the finals against Ionia. In the final game, the Lions would lose to Ionia 17-6.

Vern Sargent led the hitting attack with three hits, Todd Gearhart had two and Don Fox, Jeff Mead and Terry Pierce all Jhad one apiece.

If you happened to walk into Maple Valley Junior­ Senior High last Wednesday between 8:30 and 8:50, you would have found that the entire school was filled with bookworms. Students, teachers, ad­ ministrators, and non­ teaching personnel are all participating in a new weekly “Reading Break” program. If you’re a guest in the building during that time, be prepared to have a book thrust into your hand. The school’s Reading Consultant Shannon Drotar introduced the program to Maple Valley to encourage everyone to read for pleasure. Textbooks are banned during that time period but, other books, magazines, and comic books are “in.” The program began last Wednesday and will be evaluated after a five-week period.

The event proved to be a learning session for the officials as well as their constituents.

There, it was learned that the responsibility lies with the village but the cost may be charged to the property owner. According to the charter, the council may assess the property owner whose land abuts^ the sidewalk. The council may also, by a two-thirds vote of the trustees, elect to have the village pick up the tab. Potential growth of Nash­ ville was extensively discussed in the 3-hour session.

The annual Town Hall Meeting was instituted in March by the Nashville Village Council in an attempt to encourage more public participation in village government.

In honor of Ron's 40th birthday, friends decorated one of Ron's buildings with a huge colorful banner proclaiming the occasion. Crepe paper and balloons completed the festive decor. A party later and some more 40th surprises made ade the event a memorable one. Ron resides at 391 N. Clark Rd. (Maple Valley News photo by Virginia Alles) �The Mople Volley News. Nashville.

Received a nice letter last week from Mrs. Ada (Noyes) Dickinson, a former local resident now of Tampa, Florida. She wrote about the recent “Memories” story on the old Feighner School northwest of Nashville. A clipping of the article had been sent to her by a relative. Ada appeared in a 1910 school photo we had used with the story but had published without names since most were unknown at that time. Later, Mrs. Elmer ,(Ethel Feighner) Curtis of Nashville, who was also in the photo, phoned us to supply the students’ names. We subsequently reported those in a Nashville News column. However, Mrs. Dickinson does not regularly receive the News and ap­ parently did not see that update. She sent a listing of the students’ names, as she remembered them.

Less than four months earlier, a disastrous fire that totally destroyed the three-story Lentz plant near Main Street had left despair behind. Thanksgiving Day 1891 Deciding to build new brought a special blessing to quarters demonstrated (Author**note: In January last year we presented _a brief sketch on the Lentz Table Company, but recent research has turned up several additional items of interest on the factory’s early history. We hope readers will enjoy this ex­ panded story). Jacob Lentz and family arrived in Nashville from New York by ox cart, and from humble beginnings in 1866 founded the village's longtime leading industry. From a 2-man back shanty operation, the' Lentz furniture making enterprise grew to employ over 100. When an 1891 fire destroyed Jacob's 3-story brick factory near Main Street, his sons built a new plant on Lentz St. and carried on the family business. Jacob died in 1915 at age 96. perserverance and a faith in Nashville held by Albert, Charles and Lewis Lentz. It was in 1866 that thenfather, Jacob Lentz, had founded what was to become Nashville’s leading industry for three-quarters of a century. The three sons were just lads when the Lentz family left Palmyra, New York in 1865, headed for Michigan. A French-born cabinet­ maker and U.S. Civil War veteran, Jacob, led his family, comprised of his wife, the former Salome Brumm, and three small sons on the grueling trek west via boat on the Erie Canal and cross-country ox cart.' In Nashville, they found a smattering of houses and business places. The boys had Indians as playmates here, learned to shoot a bow and arrow, and fished and swam in the Thornapple River. Aided by his son Albert, who had started working with him in a small furniture shop, at Palmyra, Jacob opened a cabinetmaking shop back of the Lentz house (where Dr. Thomas Myers’ office now stands). Later, they rented Philip Holler’s old saw mill and used water power for, sawing and turning operations. Eventually, they moved their plant to larger quarters and turned to gasoline engine power. Jacob gradually expanded his business and took his sons into association as each became of age. The 1869 arrival of the railroad in Nashville boosted the Lentz enterprise. “Jacob Lentz’s factory is kept running these days from early dawn until late at STIHC BRUSHCUTTERS AND TRIMMERS.

Specializing in 18th century reproduction tables, the business adopted the Lentz Table Co. name in 1891 and continued under family operation well into the 1940’s. night and is turning out tables, chairs, and bedsteads by the hundreds,” reported \ the Nashville News in November 1874, just a year after the paper had been founded. The next year, Jacob contracted for a new threestory brick factory to be built near his original workshop site. (1980 note: the new brick structure was erected behind what is now Nashville Flowers & Jewelry, though the Buxton Block which houses the flower shop'was not built until four years later.) “The brick work of Lentz & Sons new factory, including painting and penciling, has been completed and inside work is being rushed along at a lively rate,” advised the News in late July 1876. “The building has been pronounced the finest threestory structure in Barry County.”, ’ A month later the new plant was operational, turning put beds, tables, mirrors, coffins and other items. As was customary for eary furniture dealers, Jacob Lentz was also the local undertaker. “Lentz & Sons have bought a new hearse for their un­ dertaking establishment,” observed the News in Oc­ tober 1876. “This is a need that has long been felt in Nashville. Lentz has pur­ chased a large new stock of shrouds and with their new hearse, are well equipped to serve the public when and where the Grim Reaper strikes.” Some 20 years later, Lentz purchased a hearse rated as the finest in Barry County. It was a massive conveyance, weighing 2,000 lbs., and was beautifully ..finished in walnut and silver. It cost $1,200, and when hitched to a matched pair of gray horses made a fine appearance, noted the News. Filling a Nashville “need” of another sort kept the factory humming in the summer of 1878. In June, the company had installed in their factory a machine for making Brown’s bed springs. “These springs, 24 in number, are fastened to the bed slats and can be adjusted so as to be hard or soft, at the will of the occupant,” explained the News. “They are sold at only $5 a set and are worth the money.” It was two months later that the Lentz & Sons were called on to completely furnish 27 sleeping rooms in the elegant new Wolcott House on South Main, a hostelry said to offer the finest accommodations to be found between Jackson and Grand Rapids. Firstpnasmall scale, then greater as years passed, the growth of Lentz & Sons business reflected in the local economy. In December 1878, eight meh were regularly employed by Lentz; a quarter-century later that number had- risen to 51, and continued to climb past 100. In 1880, Jacob and his sons decided to construct a twostory brick showroom on Main Street to display their furniture. It would be located near their factory. (1980 note: this showroom is now the Masonic Temple). “Jacob Lentz & Sons mammoth store is receiving finishing touches and will be ready for occupancy early in September,” advised the News in late August 1880. Eleven years later, tragedy struck. The factory burned to the ground. Discouraged because of Nashville’s inadequate municipal water supply for fire protection, Jacob, then in his late 60’s, hesitated to rebuild. However, his three sons had faith in their abilities and in the town- and within a few weeks they incorporated as the Lentz Table Company. Continued on next, page— JORDAN DIST.

As you read the list, stop after each item and think about the -present day situation where you live and around the nation: Quote from the Reds Rules: A. Corrupt the young; get them away from religion. Get them interested in sex. Make them superficial; destroy their ruggedness. B. Get control of all means of publicity thereby; Get peoples minds off their government by focusing their attention on athletics, sexy books and plays and other trivialities. - Divide the people into hostile groups by Constantly harping on controversial matters of no importance. Destroy the peoples faith in their natural leaders by holding them up to contempt, ridicule. Always preach true democracy, but seize power as fast and ruthlessly as possible. By encouraging government extravagance, destroy its credit, produce fear of inflation with rising prices and general discon­ tent. - Promote unnecessary strikes in vital industries, encourage civil disorders and foster a lenient and soft attitude on the part of government toward such disorders. - By specious argument cause the break­ down of the old moral vir­ tues, honesty and sobriety. C. Cause the registration of all firearms on some pretext with a view to con­ fiscating them and leaving the population helpless. Stop and think how many of these rules are being carried out in the nation today. I don’t see how anyone can truthfully say the communists do not have a part in the chaos upsetting our nation. The above Information was taken from American Legion Monthly Bulletin, the author is unknown so we can’t give credit. I love this country and believe in free enterprise as the foundation It of this its greatness. It should be preserved. It is the right and duty of every man to see to it that we do not lose the rights and privileges guaranteed by our con­ stitution.

Girl ScoutNews All the hard work and efforts by leaders and girls paid off as Troops No. 153, 413 and 313 took first, second and third, a CLEAN SWEEP of prices in the float prizes at the Maple Syrup Festival. Congratulations to you troops! Bad weather seems to plague us whenever all the troops make plans, but the rain did stop so that fires could be made for the “MOM & ME” Cookout last week. Different types of cooking were done — stick cooking, one-pot-meal, foil pocket dinners, reflector oven baking, a vagabond charcoal stove heated coffee water. The idea was for the girls to cook for their mom’s that night. They took their task very serious as one girl commented, “Ready to eat Mom? I will burn you a hot dog!!” (And burn she did.) At the end of supper, camp folders were handed out and a “plug” for Day Camp was made. Scout families are reminded of the Banquet­ Award night coming up May 16, a potluck supper will start at 6:30 at Maplewood School.

Early Nashville school superintendent H. L. Rockwood was the key figure in formation of the local group, commonly called the Home Guard. (Photo loaned, courtesy Richard Mason) In May 1917, state military history was made in Nash­ ville. Here, the first company of the First Battalion of the Michigan State Troops was organized. Commonly called the “Home Guard,” the troops served as protectors of the home front during World War I. “Nashville, the home of Company Six, claims the distinction of being the mother of the First Battalion of the Michigan State Troops,” noted a 1918 MST “Its publication. the organization was culmination of the personal efforts of Major H.

Nash­ ville’s troop was the first company in that battalion and one of the first in the state to complete, complete its organization. “The record of. Company Six from a military stand­ point has been most com­ mendable, and it has been the means of instilling an intense feeling of patriotism in the community,” noted the MST publication about Nashville’s troop. “Over half of the original members of the company are now in active service, a majority of them through voluntary enlistment, and they have benefited greatly by the training and experience derived from their con­ nection with the State Troops.” . The MST had been in­ stituted in this area in May 1917 when Major Burkhart, representing the state and acting under orders of the War Preparedness Board, had mustered in the four companies.

Railroad St., Hastings PH: 945-9926 Nashville's Home Guard, shown here in Main Street maneuvers, often per­ formed exhibition drills during World War LrThe Michigan State Troop volunteers also served communities by handling special guard and police duties, taking charge of Red Cross drives, and conducting military funerals. the trip from Hastings to Eaton Rapids by automobile, stopping at Nashville and Charlotte on the way. “This rather remarkable and strenuous beginning marks the root of life the battalion possesses,” observed the 1918 publication. Due to the interest and efforts of Rockwood, Nashville’s group became the first company “mustered in” by Burkhart. Rockwood then pushed for the for- mation of the First Bat­ talion, of which he later became commander. Nash­ ville’s school superintendent doubled as Battalion Major Rockwood. , “The ‘Home Guard’ was made up of businessmen, farmers, factory men, and generally any man of the community ’ who wasn’t in the Army and wanted to volunteer,” remembers Adolph Douse, Jr., whose father was a member of the local troop. The men trained on the old River Park athletic field west of the Main Street stores. They marched on the ball diamond that, in season, hosted high school baseball and football games. Kenneth (Ted) Mix of Nashville, who at 16 was a very young member of Company Six, remembers that training. “Bement (First Lieutenant Julius Bement) could really drill us,” comments Mix. “He was a Spanish War veteran.” Mix also recalls trips to the Greggs Crossing Road areanear the Thornapple River, where the troops practiced target shooting on a rifle range.' Each MST company took an active part in community life during World War I. They gave exhibition drills took charge of Red Cross and other drives, conducted military funerals, did guard duty, and in many other ways proved helpful. “Their duties were to guard the village and do police duties when needed,” notes Douse. “At times, where there were reports of German spies circulating around, they would do guard duty on roads leading in and out of town.” The mien also guarded Main Street and the Lentz Table factory, Nashville’s largest industry. “I remember my father being called out several times,” adds Douse. One instance he recalls was when the troops were stationed at the north side of the Thor­ napple River bridge at night, after word was received that some German spies might be going through Nashville. “A car coming down the hill from the north was or­ dered to halt, but it kept going,” said Douse. “As I remember, the guards fired up into the air but the car kept on going.” The troops were dressed in military uniforms. Nashville tailor John Greene, who was located on the second floor of the brick building adjacent to the south of the presentday Johnson’s Furniture store, saw to the p proper fitting. Greene was also a member of the troop. The uniforms were government issue,' but we went to Green’s place for alterations,” said Mix. “We sort of made his shop our headquarters.” Adolph Douse, Jr. also remembers the MST uniforms, but in a somewhat different light, i “When I was about 10 to 12 years old, I became a Boy Scout and, on occasion, we had to have a uniform,” he said. “I couldn’t afford to buy one, so I bought a Boy Scout shirt and neck scarf and used my father’s Home Guard trousers and his hat” Douse added that he has laughed about that many times over the years. Meetings of the battalion were held at Thornapple Lake on Memorial Sunday, at Eaton Rapids on the Fourth of July, and at Charlotte during the Eaton County Fair. “These have been in­ teresting, instructive and highly complimentary to officers and men,” noted the 1918 publication in com­ menting on the events. Aside from each com­ pany’s contribution to community service, the MST training provided very beneficial background for many men who went on to join some branch of the Army. “In short, the value of the service rendered can hardly cont. page 5 NEXT MEETING — MAY 17th Building Site — 4010 River Road (Corner of Charlton Park Rd. and River Rd.; I mile N. ofM-79) �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, May 14, 1980 — Page 5 Citizens of the week Making gifts for Mother...

William Dollman was Captain of Company Six. He had suc­ ceeded Captain F. J. White who had tendered his resignation in July, having made application for ad­ mission to an officers’ training school. Dollman had served as First Lieutenant under White. When Dollman took charge of the company, Julius B. Bement was First Lieutenant and Ernest L. Appelman was Second Lieutenant. Newt Trautman was Quartermaster Sergeant of the First Bat­ talion.

From our readers FROM OUR READERS According to the paper, the Maple Valley School District is asking for a 3-mil in­ crease. Haven’t the educators got the message that the people in this country are not able to be taxed one more dollar! What do we have to do to convince them that we mean NO. Don’t they realize that $3 on each $1000 of equalized valuation could mean hundreds of dollars to some of us taxpayers that we would have to pay in one year. We CANNOT and WILL NOT pay more taxes! If we would get back to the basics of education — reading, writing and arithmetic, instead of golf, tennis and ‘Leisure Time Living’ classes we would not need all of this extra money. I do not feel sorry that the educators are complaining that with rising costs they CANNOT operate. We as taxpayers have to put up with rising costs and we HAVE to operate on what we make. We cannot run to the community and ask them for more money to help support our way of living! Let’s tell the educators that the days of spending is OVER - we refuse to pay more taxes.

(tfn) TAX CHANGE? - With many possibilities discussed for changes in the Michigan property tax system, legislative leaders hope to formulate a ballot proposal by this week. Most current is an idea for property-tax reliefcoupled with a sales tax increase. BAR CLOSINGS - The Senate had defeated HB 5558, which would have allowed bars to remain open until 4 a.m. in cities with convention bureaus. There was concern that this would not truly assist convention proceedings. WELFARE WORK - The Social Services Department has dropped over 100 central-office jobs and added 860 local­ office jobs in response to growing welfare caseloads. This will help provide improved service at the neighborhood level. PRIMARY POLITICS It appears the Michigan Presidential Primary will be held as scheduled next week, for only the Republicans. Meanwhile, supporters of In­ dependent Presidential candidate John Anderson have filed more than 62,000 signatures to place an “Anderson Coalition” party on the August primary ballot. It must get 0.3 percent of all August votes to qualify for November. LONG COUNT - The House has defeated a motion to discharge a resolution requiring a two-minute time limit for all House votes. The Senate has a one-minute time limit. Recently, the voting board was left open for 28 minutes on a controversial issue while efforts were made to change votes. House Democratic leaders say a voting limit is not needed at this time. LIFELINE POWER - The House will soon vote on SB 29, which would set up different bloc rates for electrical use by families with less than four members, and four or more members. There would be a low rate for the first “lifeline” blocs of electrical use each month, with higher rates for use beyond that amount. This will help low-income families, and encourage conservation. TV THEFT - The House has approved HB 5583, which would outlaw the practice of tapping into cable television systems without authorization. The bill provides fines andor jail terms; this is in response to the increased legal — and illegal — use of cable TV. RESTITUTION SENTENCING - Now in the Senate is HB 4088, which would give sentencing judges the option of ordering a convict placed on probation to perform community service or pay restitution provided it is affordable. This clarifies current law on conditions of probation. PUBLIC ART - Governor Milliken has signed into law SB 2, which creates a seven-member committee and an Art in Public Places Fund to finance and acquire art for public buildings. The fund would be drawn from no more than 1 percent of specific capital-outlay appropriations. MEN’S SOFTBALL MEETING ATTENTION: Managers of Maple Valley Men's Softball! v REGISTRATION...

There is a great deal of stress laid upon the family in pursuing this most important task in life of helping children to grow into mature and useful adults. In the light of this we seek to guide them in choosing good eating, sleeping, and exer­ cising habits. Also we guide them in develop­ ing their mind and spiritual life. There has been in late years a fashionable trend in the direction of leaving entirely free, so far as their deepest faith is con­ cerned, with the thought that they will then choose for themselves when they reach the age of maturity. Superficially this approach has a certain appeal, since it seems to res­ pect the individuality of the child so much that he is set free from all indoctrination. Actually, however it is a poor course to pur­ sue. The supposed freedom from indoctrina­ tion does not and cannot really occur, be­ cause the child is living in a real world all the time and drawing conclusions on the basis of the evidence. Usually this means theyjust may choose a secular view of life which is totally inadequate for the salvation ■of the soul. We do not leave them to com­ plete freedom to choose about matters that we feel that are ofutmost importance. We seek to guide them into Faith by care and example. Many mothers and fathers provide the kind of home in which a living faith is more caught than taught, because this faith is the basis of all that is done and said in help­ ing children to choose the Christian Faith as revealed in the scriptures. - REV.

Boys varsity baseball team splits The Maple Valley boys varsity baseball team splits a doubleheader with Carson City, losing the first game 12­ 2 and winning the second 2-1. The Lions lost the first game as Carson City scored four times in the first inning and the Lions just could never catch up to Eagles. Getting hits for the Lions were Vern Sargent with a single and a double, Todd Gearhart with a single, Aaron Snider with a single and Terry Pierce with a base hit. Aaron Snider took the loss as he is now 3-1 in league action. The second ball game the Lions scored early as Todd Gearhart hit a towering home run to give the Lions an early 1-0 lead. Carson City tied the game in the second inning on a questionable home run. The Lions scored the winning run in the top of the third when Vern Sargent singled and Snider sacrificed Sargent to secord. Then Terry Pierce delivered a key single to score Sargent and the game winning run. The Lions will resume play this week by playing league games on Tuesday against Portland home, and Friday against Montabella, also home. The Lions are 6 wins and 3 losses for the year and will be challenging for the league title this week. Hope to see all you baseball fans this week “Baseball Fever, catch it!” J.V. basebah wins 4 out of 5 The J.V. baseball team had a ^very enjoyable and successful week in winning four games and losing only one to Class B powerhouse Lakewood. In the Lakewood game, the Lion hitting attack did their job, it’s just that the Vikings had a little more punch. The final score was Lakewood 20 and Maple Valley 13. The next night the Saranac Redskins traveled to Ver­ montville for. a double header. Maple Valley didn’t have much trouble in either ball game, winning 15-1 and 11-1. Tony Dunkelberger and Rick Roberts pitched almost identical ball games in working five innings, allowing one run on four base hits. The only difference was Roberts struck out seven while Dunkelberger fanned four. The Friday night double header with Carson City provided the most rewarding games of the week. Carson City Eagles had only lost one ball game all year and were undefeated in the league. The Lions ended up winning both games again by scores of 8-5 and 5-2. Rick Roberts pitched up his third win of the year. He struck out five and walked only three while giving up only three earned runs. In the five inning second game, Walt Maurer pitched his best game of the year. Carson had three hits and two walks in scoring their two runs but neither one was earned. The score was tied 1-1 going into the last inning when the Lions exploded for four big runs to ensure the victory. In that HAIR MAKES THE MAN! Too could look younger!

Nashville's Putnam Public Library was recently listed in the State Register of Historic Sites, after the structure was judged to be of significant historic interest by the Michigan Historical Commission. The former Charles W. Putnam home was built in the winter of 1884-85 at the cost of between $5,000 and $6,000. It was bequeathed to the village in 1920 for use as a public library. Nashville’s Putnam Public Library has been listed in the State Register of Historic Sites by the Michigan Historical Commission. In a letter received last week from Martha M. Bigelow, MHC Secretary, the Putnam Public Library Board was informed that the State Register now includes the Charles W. Putnam House (Putnam Public Library) among its more than l?00 sites. The Register was established in 1955 to recognize historic sites in Michigan. “State registration in­ dicates that the Historical' Commission has judged the site to be of significant historic interest,” wrote Mrs. Bigelow. Such registration also enables the purchase and display of an official marker on the site. The sign must be approved by the Commission. The Charles W. Putnam home, a period brick erected on Nashville’s North Main Street during the winter of 1884-85 at the cost of between $5,000 and $6,000, was originally the home of Putnam, a prominent local businessman, and his wife, the former Agnes Smith, a Vermont native who became Nashville’s first public schoolteacher in 1866. Putnam arrived in Nash­ ville in 1865, at age 19, from Adrian County. His father, Miles Putnam, a farmer of meager means, was a New Hampshire native who traced his ancestry back to General Israel Putnam of Revolutionary War fame. As a hardware merchant and early banker, Charles Putnam became one of Nashville’s wealthiest Obituaries Arthur Shetenhelm three sisters: Arthur Shetenhelm of 188 City; Third Street, Vermontville Margaret Frith, Olive Corey passed away May 8 in and Ruth Briggs, all of and 18 Charlotte, after an illness Vermontville; that began in March.

He is survived by his wife with interment in Woodlawn Mabel, a daughter Mrs. Cemetery. Clare (Helen) Wellman of Vermontville; five sons: Timothy Shetenhelm of Charlotte, Rev. Arthur Mix of Kansas, Albert Mix of Charlotte, James Mix, and David Mix, both of Lansing; a brother Walter of Lake businessmen. The Putnams became parents of twins, both of whom died in in­ fancy. Gravely ill with tuber­ culosis, Charles Putnam committed suicide in 1918 because he feared tran­ smitting the disease to others. His will stipulated that the Putnam home be left to the village for library purposes after Mrs. Putnam’s death. He also bequeathed $10,000 for maintenance and an additiohal $1,000 for remodeling. The Putnams’ 300-volume personal library and several antique fur­ nishings were also included. Mrs. Putnam died in 1920, and in 1923 the Nashville Village Council gave the local Woman’s Literary Club the responsibility of establishing a public library in the Putnam home. The facility was opened to the public Sept. 1, 1923. In 1965, the Nashville Village Council established Putnam as a district library, and it is now supported by the village and townships of Maple Grove and Castleton. There are now over 14,000 volumes on the shelves at Putnam Public Library, but the structure is essentially unchanged from the days when it was the Putnam home. Only two main floor partitions were removed to convert the building to library use. The second floor has recently undergone restoration for public use, but no structural changes were made.

The Nashville Branch of Eaton County Federal Savings and Loan Association has been part of the village’s downtown scene since July of 1976. The Association’s history is the epitome of a true success story, from a humble beginning to today’s impressive assests. Originally established in Charlotte with an initial investment of $5,000 in January of 1937, the Association’s growth has resulted in today’s assets of over $61,000,000. In the beginning the Association was called the Charlotte Savings and Loan. That name was soon changed to Federal Savings and Loan. The Nashville Branch of the organization was opened at 109 S. Main Street in July of 1976. Terril J. Thomas is the branch manager. Dawn Meade serves as the assistant branch manager and Brinda Hawkins as teller. Aside from promoting home ownership and thrift, the Nashville branch offers safe deposit boxes, money orders, travelers checks, home improvement loans, Christmas savings plans, a drive-up window facility and friendly courteous service. The association also participates in a government guaranteed student loan program for college educations. A new service offered at the branch is an interest bearing checking account called a N.O.W. Account. Terril says the goal of the branch is “to grow with Nashville.”- 4-H canoe trip planned mt ifcwto ^W *•«*’*“ Wl’**’1 ***1’ Newlands surprised for anniversary A surprise 40th anniversary party was given for Mr. & Mrs. Clayton Newland by their children, Mr. & Mrs; Duane Newland of Plymouth, Mi.; Mr. & Mrs. Gale (Audrey) Wetzel, of Nashville, Mi.; Mr. & Mrs. Jerry (Joyce) Newton of Marshall, Mi. and Ms. Christine Schantz of Nashville, Mi.

May 21. 1980 One man can make a difference Gilmore tells Nashville gathering James S. Gilmore, Jr., GOP candidate for the Third Congressional District seat, spoke To a full house Monday at the Steak House Restaurant in Nashville. The breakfast event was sponsored by the Barry County Republican Party. Seated at the speaker's table, from left, are Wendell Strickland, party chairman; Jim Gilmore (standing); State Rep. Donald H. Gilmer, R-55th; and Caroline Dimmers, event organizer. Jim Gilmore believes that one man CAN make a dif­ ference, and that, was the message the GOP hopeful brought to Barry County Republicans at a Monday breakfast at the Steak House Restaurant in Nashville. “Some say that one man alone can’t do anything,” Gilmore told the Republican gathering, “but I don’t believe that. I believe in a winning attitude in family, in life, and in this race.” Gilmore will attempt to unseat, in November, the Democratic incumbent, Howard J. Wolpe. Gilmore was introduced Monday by State Rep. Donald H. Gilmer (R-S5th, Augusta), who said he was proud to have his name appear on the same ballot, citing the similarity between the two names. Gilmer spoke of a winning team. JamesS. Gilmore, Jr., is a prominent Kalamazoo businessman and former mayor of that city, but he is also owner of an auto dealership, advertising agencies, and radio and television stations in four states. Gilmore spoke Monday of his recently filed candidate’s financial disclosure statement which placed his Cont. page 14 — State horseshoe pitchers gather in6606 The clink of iron striking iron resounded in Putnam Park in Nashville recently as contestants from throughout Michigan congregated there to participate in the ancient sport of horseshoe pitching. The May 10-11 meet was the second outing of the 1980 season for members of the Wolverine State Horseshoe Pitchers Association and a prelude to an even larger three-day tourney planned for Nashville over the July 4th weekend. Pitchers from Jim Jarman of Nashville admires selection of trophies to be awarded to the top pitchers in a weekend match on the horseshoe courts at Putnam Park. Jarman entered the competition Saturday and came away with a trophy of his own. Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Canada are expected to enter that event. Lyle French, local WSHPA member and tournament organizer, said last weekend’s turnout was greater than expected. Contestants were present from as far away as northern Michigan and the thumb area. On the Saturday of the tournament, some 36 men, 12 women and four’ children entered the competition. Form is important to a successful pitch; a slight twist of the wrist with the underhand toss results in a shoe landing with .the open end facing the stake. "Ringers" bring the top score, but leaners also count. Each com­ peting 2-player team has a scorekeeper seated nearby. Saturday's pleasant weather brought pitchers from throughout Michigan to the horseshoe courts in Putnam Park. Donna Ashcraft of Nashville, member of the Friends of Putnam Public Library, was on hand during Satur­ day's meet at Putnam Park to draw two winning names in a recent FOL-sponsored raffle.

A group of mothers, chaperones, and twenty-nine tots from the Maple Valley Co-op Nursery School in Nashville were en route to the WKZO-TV studios in Kalamazoo for a film taping of a/Channel 3 Club House show that was to have been aired Wednesday morning. The Nashville area youngsters were slated to appear on the program, but it was subsequently can­ celled when chaos caused by the catastrophe made a taping session impossible. The news station was in turmoil as newspeople sought to keep the public informed of the storm. Traveling in a large van and four autos, the Nashville contingent arrived in Kalamazoo shortly after 4 p.m., just about the same time the deadly twister slammed into the heart of the city.

She commented on three sub­ jects we have recently covered: Dr. E. T. Morris, the Wolcott House, and the Methodist Church. All topics had special meaning for Beatrice. “Dr. Morris delivered me July 29,’1905,” she noted. “He told me he watched three barns being hit with lightening and burn. My sister Madeline was born in the upstairs bedroom February 4, 1911, in the Wolcott House, owned then by my step-grandfather, Mr. Mix. I was baptized in the Methodist Church by Reverand Me Comb with about 12 other schoolmates.” Beatrice is the daughter of the late Chancy and Mina Hicks who lived on Reed Street. “I would like sometime to see an article on Mary I. Surine, who was a Latin and French teacher (at NHS).”- Mrs. Buchanan added that she hopes Kenneth Meade, a former local resident now of Franklin who is a frequent contributor to this column, will continue to share his memories of early Nashville. Beatrice graduated from NHS in 1924 with Kenneth’s sister Mabie, now deceased. Thanks to Mrs. Buchanan for the kind words and shared memories. And a letter from Kenneth Meade also arrived last week with interesting comments on the recent Putnam Park story. “Charles Putnam’s story of success is interesting,” he wrote. “I imagine there are many like that hi the era in which he lived and there are probably just as many who tried and failed. That is what has made America great. Today it would be difficult to do in the same way - too many government regulations to satisfy, too many forms to fill out.” In an interesting “small world” coincidence, Kenneth Meade noted the following incident. “Several years ago I was talking to 0. E. Hunt, then one of GM’s executive vice presidents who told me that as a boy, about 1900, he and his brother, J. H. Hunt, used to visit the Putnams. It seems that Mrs. Putnam was their aunt. They (the Hunt boys) grew up in Saranac. Both went on to the University of Michigan and graduated as engineers about 1907 and went into the automobile industry in the early days. Both are now gone.” J. H Hunt headed the patent activities of General Motors and was president of the Engineering Society of Detroit in 1936-38 (Meade was president in 1952-53). The wife of J. H. Hunt was from Vermontville. “It is interesting how our lives cross those who had earlier associations in the same place where we lived,” commented Meade. Kenneth Meade said he was also interested to learn that Putnam Park was not a gift from the Putnams. As we had pointed out in our story, this is a popular misconception in Nashville., homesites and various other “The gift of the athletic field places of family historical was also news to me,” added interest in and around Maple Meade.

May 21. 1980 — Page 4 Memories of the pas Teddy Roosevelt came to Nashville twice, once as Governor and once as ex­ President, but his visits are fondly ' recalled as presidential whistlestops in Nashville. Many present-day senior citizens can recall the momentous occasion of T.R.’s February 1911 ap­ pearance in Nashville, but there are few who can recall his initial visit here in September 1900 as the running mate of President William Me Kinley. “Governor Theodore Roosevelt, Republican nominee for Vice President, will pass through Nashville next Friday afternoon on a special train going from Jackson to Grand Rapids, where he will speak in the evening,” the Nashville News advised readers in advance of the 1900 event. “Strenuous efforts are being made to arrange for the train to stop long enough here for the Governor to make a brief speech.” Teddy would have ap­ preciated the “strenuous” effort for he frequently used that word to describe the life of physical fitness he ac­ tively pursued. T. R. had served as a tenacious Assistant Secretary of Navy under Me Kinley before resigning that position to lead his “rough riding” cavalry regiment to national fame in the charge at San Juan in 1898. Several Nashville lads had served in that brief SpanishAmerican conflict in Cuba and local interest in the spunky and fearless leader ran high. He had returned to his native New York and was By Susan Hinckley elected Governor in 1899. His political philosophy based on an African proverb of “Speak softly and carry a big stick, and you will go far,” had added to public admiration of the warrior­ hero. Toddy’s first whistlestop in Nashville came shortly after Me Kinley and Roosevelt had been .nominated by acclaimationat the Republican National Convention in 1900. At the start, there was some doubt here that Roosevelt entourage would pause as it passed through Nashville, but the “strenuous” efforts of local residents proved successful. The train stopped and Teddy spoke from the back plat­ form for several minutes, until the train pulled out. “He created a very favorable impression,” • FREE CLASSES on GOLF BASICS to be held at.. .

R. on his Feb. 1911 visit to Nashville. School was dismissed for the day. For the benefit of the children, at the invitation of a local Civil War vet, Teddy stepped down from the train on its return trip through Nashville from Grand Rapids. Having completed McKinley s term and one of his own, T. R. was no longer president but Nashville loved him anyway. In 1912, he was defeated as a third party candidate on the "Bull Moose” ticket. noted the News in reporting Teddy’s appearance. “He shows those teeth very thoroughly when he smiles, which is frequent. He would be a hard man to lose in a crowd.” A victory for the McKinley - Roosevelt team was reported by the News in early November 1900: “The die is cast, and William Me Kinley will be president of the United States for another four years, and with him as vice president that gallant young soldier - statesman, Theodore Roosevelt.” The state of Michigan gave Me Kinley a majority of nearly 100,000 votes, in that election, although in Barry County the race was close. Almost a year to the day that Teddy Roosevelt had made his first stop in Nash­ ville, Me Kinley was felled by an assassin’s bullet at the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo, New York. The tragedy occured Sept. 5, 1901. Me Kinley died Sep­ tember 14. “Since the News last went to press, one of the saddest afflictions has fallen on the American people as ever has been their lot to bear - the death of President Me Kinley, who expired just a week after being shot by a cowardly assassin named Czolgosz,” commented the Nashville News. “Vice President Theodore Roosevelt now is president at age 40.” The heartfelt report was slightly inaccurate. Ac­ tually, Teddy was just six weeks short of his 43rd birth­ day when he became president and McKinley had died nine days after being shot. Justice came swiftly to the gunman, an avowed anar­ chist. In mid-November 1901, the News advised: “Leon F. Czolgosz, assassin of President Me Kinley, was electrocuted last week at Auburn prison in New York.” T. R. took command of the presidency with the same dedication he has shown in charging Kettle Hill at San Juan. His “big stick” philosophy becoming his foreign policy, he implemented a build-up of U.S. Naval forces while he upheld the Monroe Doctrine to prevent European in­ tervention in the Western Hemisphere. As far as Teddy was concerned, construction of the Panama Canal in 1902-05 was the proudest feather in his political cap. T. R.’s “progressive” Republican Teddy Roosevelt came to Nashville on two different trips, spoke here three times, and stepped down on local soil on the last occasion. His first appearance in Nashville was in Sept. 1900 as McKinley's vice presidential candidate. Almost a year to the day later, McKinley was felled by an assassin and T. R. soon became president. This photo was taken on T. R.'s second Nashville visit in February 1911, as an expresident on a speaking tour. tactics made him a big hit with the common folks. They rewarded him with a landslide victory against Democrat Alton B. Parker in the 1904 presidential elec­ tion. Several Nashville folks were at the Thomas Opera House in Charlotte that election night in November 1904. A direct Western Union �The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Wednesday.

May 21, 1980 — Poge 6 Emily Hafner celebrates 100 years by Susan Hinckley Simple foods, plenty of rest and a merry disposition are the key to a long life, says Emily Hafner of Nashville. She will celebrate her 100th birthday Wednesday, May 21. She credits her longevity to not having “as many goodies of life” as today’s youngsters have. “Wedidn’thavecandy; we lived on bread and butter and ate good pork sand­ wiches,” said Emily. “And we baked our own bread.” Getting to bed early also helped Mrs. Hafner reach the century mark, she believes. Emily radiates the hap­ piness that comes from a cheerful disposition. She was born May 21,1880, in Newago County, the daughter of Gilbert and Maria Fish. She grew up with two sisters. Another half-sister and two half­ brothers were considerably older and on their own when Emily was a child, so she scarcely remembers them in her growing-up years. In 1902, when she was 21 years old, Emily came to Nashville to work for her uncle in the dry goods store that later became Henry Glasner’s. She continued to work for Glasner in the store that was located in what is now the north portion of Kelley’s. In 1907, Emily Emily Hafner will celebrate her 100th birthday Wednesday, May 21. Nashville's oldest resident credits her longevity to good wholesome foods, plenty of rest, and a merry disposition. The twinkle in her eye reveals a sense of humor that has remained constant throughout a century. Sen. Allen proposes amendment to Open Meetings Act State Senator Richard J. Allen (R-Ithaca) has in­ troduced legislation that would exempt the discussion of personnel matters from the current Open Meetings Act. “I introduced this legislation to amend the Open Meetings Act after a school board in my district pointed out to me the ex­ treme difficulties it. was having in hiring a qualified school superintendent because of the current provisions in the statute,” Allen said. “It has become increasingly apparent that the present law is hampering units of government and school districts in attracting high quality individuals to .important, public positions because of the public in- HOMELITE String Trimmer Wheeler Marine M-66 South of NASHVILLE HOURS: 9 to 7 Daily - Closed Sundays terrogation into an applicant’s personal background,” Senator Allen cited the recent selection of a new Michigan State University president as an example of how cumbersome and detrimental the present law can be. “As far as I am concerned, to ask any person to submit to such public interviews is an infringement of that person’s privacy,” Allen added. TSuch public ex­ posure takes away any confidentiality surrounding the interview and could jeopardize the applicant’s current position.” Senator Allen added that because of the flaw many times a subcommittee process is being used to circumvent the law in order to obtain qualified personnel. married Edward Hafner, a local farmer who later became a longtime rural mail carrier. “I remember they were putting up the first street lights when I came to Nashville,” said Mrs. Hafner. “It was quite a few years before we got them (electric lights) in the houses.” Main Street was unpaved then, just a dirt road about the same, width as it is now. There were board sidewalks. Emily recalls the many hitching posts in front of the stores where shoppers hit­ ched their horses when they came in to trade. And she remembers the first auto she ever saw. “Someone came running into the store and said an auto was coming to town and was going to stop here,” she reminisced. “We all left what we were doing and stood in the doorway. It was quite a sight.?’ In those days, Nashville stores were open until 8 p.m. every day and Saturday until any “untold hour,” as Mrs. Hafner explains. “Then the help began to kick on the late hours, since there was not that much trade. We were only there to accommodate the people who were always behind the time.” Occasionally, Emily would board an excursion train here for a trip to Grand Canoe trip coming up By Connie Green, 4-H Program Assistant The Annual 4-H sponsored Grand River Canoe Trip is fast approaching. It will be held Saturday, May 24 and Sunday, May 25. Both 4H’ers and non-4-H’ers may take part. Those who are 14 years old or younger must be accompanied by an adult. Participants will meet at Fitzgerald Park at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 24 to organize and then go to Delta Mills Park to put into the Grand River at 2 p.m. The group will plan to arrive back at Fitzgerald Park about 5 p.m. for a hot-dog roast, followed by recreation activities. Overnight camping will be available at Fitzgerald Park to those interested. Those who camp for the night will have breakfast at 7 a.m. Sunday, and leave the park about 7:45. They plan to arrive Chief Okemos Burial Grounds by 11:30 a.m. and be on the way home by noon. Anyone who is interested in going on the canoe trip, and did not attend the meeting held Wednesday, May 14, should contact Connie at the Extension Office (543-2310) (543-2310) im­ mediately. A signed health form and authorization for emergency treatment is required. Forms are available at the Extension Office, 126 N. Bostwick, Charlotte. > Rapids to visit her mother and sister, returning the same day. “We didn’t earn enough money in those days to get very far,” quips Emily. “Eight dollars a week was the most I ever earned, and I was one of the better salesladies.” Emily attended a country school in Newago County and then enrolled in a graded school at Cedar Springs. She hesitates to call it a high school. “We didn’t get the kind of education you get now,” she said. The educators were kids who had graduated from high school.” In later years, after her clerking days, Emily became an assistant librarian at Putnam Public Library. When she married Hafner in 1907 they took up residence on Francis Street, then later moved to the former Smith farm west of town. The Hafners lost their only son, Louis, in an auto accident when he was a high school senior. Edward Hafner died in 1945. Emily now makes her home with her daughter, Genevieve Hafner, who moved back to Nashville from Grosse Pointe Farms when she retired in 1976. “I’m blessed with a good daughter,” comments Emily, and adds with a laugh, “She didn’t marry, so I don’t have any in-laws to boss me around.” The sparkle in Emily’s eye gives away the merriment that has obviously been a vital part of her 100 years on earth. Emily’s health is still relatively good, though her eyesight and hearing have failed somewhat. She cited these difficulties, then told the reporter: “I’d advise you not to get old.” A few close friends are expected to call Wednesday, but no large celebration is planned in honor of Emily Hafner’s centennial bir­ thday.

May 21. 1980— Page 7 Spring is.good season to develop fishing ponds If you own a small lake or pond and are looking for recreation close to home, this might be the year to begin stocking your pond with fish. Spring and fall are the best seasons to stock fish because temperatures are moderate, says Ray White for the Cooperative Ex­ tension Service. Some management advice is of­ fered in order to get more enjoyment from your fishing pond. One of the first things to consider when deciding what types of fish to stock is the temperature of the pond in the summer. A warm-water pond, which will support fish such as large and small mouth bass, bluegills, and pike, should be warmer than 70 degrees Farenheit during most of the summer. Warm­ water fish grow best in water at 75 degrees, headvises, but a consistent 70 degrees will provide a suitable en­ vironment. The depth of pond is another key factor. White cautions that ponds must be at least 15 feet deep to sustain fish year round. Ponds 20 to 25 feet deep produce the best results. To prepare the pond for stocking, build or rebuild it for correct depth and proper slopes. All fish already in the pond should be eradicated, either by draining or chemically treating the pond. Then stocking of desired fish species can begin. If you are interested in bass fishing, White suggests you stock only bass. “In many cases, even minnows aren’t needed,” he says. “The bass can often feed on organisms at the bottom of the pond.” When minnows are required or preferred, White advises using either golden shiners or fatheads. It is a good idea to provide cover for the minnows so some of them can escape being consumed and con­ tinue the population for more than one season. It is im­ portant, however,, that minnows do not grow large enough to compete with the bass for food. Bluegills make a good tasting panfish but have a tremendous capacity to overpopulate the pond and stunt themselves, eventually leading to a shortage of food that will cause stunting of other fish in the pond. White advises against stocking a pond with both bass and bluegill; because of the stunting effect, the com­ bination has not worked well in Michigan. Once bass have been stocked in a pond, it is best not to remove any until they have spawned once. During the first few years, it is wise to harvest lightly to maintain Michigan Bell MICHIGAN BELL EMPLOYEES PONT WEAR UNIFORMS, SO ASK FOR IDENTIFICATION FROM THEM OR ANY OTHER SERVICE PEOPLE WHO COME TO YOUR DOOR.

Eugene Koetje, Nashville’s acting police chief told the audience of business people and other interested in­ dividuals. He said police would begin tailing the suspects immediately. “We want to get next to them as quickly as possible,” he added. Koetje explained that his advice also applies to local residents as well as mer­ chants. He said a call to the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, would result in the im­ mediate dispatch of a Nash­ ville officer, whether on or off duty. The gypsy transients strike individual homes as well as business places, noted Koetje. A few years ago, gypsies hit the local elevator and a private residence, he said, and in both cases they secured funds by diversionary tac­ tics. “The gypsy specializes in creating a diversion,” warned Koetje. He said two or three may enter a store, handle merchandise and jabber, appearing to be potential shoplifters. This may lure a lone store clerk away from the cash register long enough for it to be rifled by an accomplice who has been lurking outside. Koetje said the transients aim primarily for cash, as it is more difficult to trace than goods. “Gypsies are very clever, very sly, and quick witted,” he added. When asked how local residents might recognize a gypsy, Koetje said they usually stand out because of their gaudy dress and the fact they generally operate in small groups of two or three.. In a subsequent discussion of unwanted door-to-door solicitors, the most frequently mentioned were the “Moonies,” followers of Rev. Moon of the Unification Church. Members of this group have been in Nashville on severaT'past occasions, and Sgt. Koetje said they usually offer candy or other novelties in return for a contribution to some cause such as a day camp. “These people live very well on the nickles, dimes and quarters from the pockets of people in towns like this,” he said. Koetje explained that these solicitors are usually college-age youths, ap­ pearing to be very clean cut and well dressed. They are exceedingly polite and are often successful in their campaign because of their persistence. One audience member related his personal ex­ perience with such an in- dividual. He said because of the solicitor’s persistence, he found the only effective way to counter the politeness was by being rude and firm in asking him to leave. Various ways to curtail such door-to-door activity were also considered. Koetje stressed the need for local residents to advise police immediately of such convessing. He also said he was checking into the legality of controling door-to-door solicitation by some registration procedure that would curtail outside ac­ tivity but not hamper legitimate local causes. Koetje added that the present Green River Ordinance,which many thought protected Nashville from solicitors, was “not worth the paper it is written on.” In a dialogue that followed Koetje’s presentation, it was agreed that to discourage unwanted solicitors, local residents must learn to inquire deeply into where their contributions are going.

Personnel from the Governor’s office have already indicated that there could easily be a reduction in state aid beginning with the August state aid payment. One of the most difficult things for many to un­ derstand is the fact that property taxes have been rising but schools get few additional dollars to operate with under the complicated state aid formula which is on a state-local sharing. The state aid formula sets a limit on the amount of dollars behind each child based upon the amount of operating millage levied. This current school year this combined state-local dollars per mill is set at $43.00 per mill plus $325.00 per student. The state aid act pays this amount up to a maximum of thirty mills plus one half of any millage the district is authorized to levy in excess of 30 mills. This current school year the Maple Valley School District was authorized to levy 22.178 mills including the rollback factor. HAIR MAKE$\ THE MAN! You could look younger!

If local property valuations increase it means that local property taxes go up and without any increase in millage the state aid decreases accordingly. This means that the local tax- Foam insulation fires in farm structures Cellular plastic foam in­ sulation materials in older farm structures can be a severe fire hazard. cirUnder most cumstances, the result of exposing these materials to flame is a rapidly spreading fire that quickly produces great amounts of toxic gas and dense smoke. Often this. kind of fire permits no salvage of building contents, says Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director. Apparently, little thought was given to the potential flammability of foam in­ sulation when it became popular a few years ago. Exposed foam board or sprayed-on insulation was allowed in farm buildings in past years because building codes usually don’t apply to farm structures in rural areas in Michigan. Fire barriers can be put over this type of insulation in existing buildings for an estimated 60 cents to $1.50 per square foot. Some in­ surance companys are requiring policyholders to upgrade buildings with exposed foam insulation by either covering the foam insulation or removing it from the building. The object of a fire barrier is to limit the rate at which a fire will spread through a building. Though there is no such thing as an absolutely fireproof building there are ways to make buildings safer. Current recommendations are to nail asbestos-cement board over the insulation, because this has a flame spread of zero. The next best is Vz-inch gypsum wallboard (dry wall) which has a flame spread of 15. Flame spread of 25 or less is desirable for materials used to cover the foam insulation. There are alternatives, such as %-inch, fire retar­ dant-treated exterior plywood, or a %-inch, cement-based mixture sprayed on the plastic foam insulation. The durability of this treatment depends on the competency of the ap plicator. New foam plastic in­ sulations may have im­ proved fire ratings, whichmight be indicated 1 by a flame spread rating of 25 and under, with smoke development ratings under 450. However, near heaters, electrical panels, welding areas and other ignition sources, foam insulation should still have a fire barrier installed over it. It may be profitable to call your fire insurance representative before building a new farm structure using foam in­ sulation. Indicate the specific type of foam plastic insulation being used, the fire barrier treatment you expect to use, and whether any of the materials will be exposed.

Wednesday, May 21, 1980 — Page 11 Maplewood Kindergartners sing out for 'moms When refreshments were served after the perper­ formances Wednesday, the children presented their mothers with giant-sized posters they had made in class. Michael Starkey, 5, told his mother, Joanne, that he loved her because she fixes breakfast. Threeyear-old brother Jeffery looks on. Maplewood kindergartners love their moms...that message came through loud and clear last Wednesday. In morning and afternoon performances, the youngsters staged a musical medley as fresh and bright as Spring. The show opened with the children all chimining in on “Sing a Happy Song.” Five little freckled frogs led off the costumered performances, followed by appearances of ducks, monkeys, pussy willows, rabbits, chickadees, Mexican jumping beans, and, last but not least, Puff the Magic Dragon. At the conclusion, the children belted out “Sing a Song,” accompanied by Delma Smith, school secretary, on the guitar. The morning and af­ ternoon performances were held in the Maplewood gym. They were directed by kindergarten teachers Mary Gauss and Linda Jones. The teachers faced a serious dilemma Wednesday morning when they discovered that the elaborate paper costumes created for the per­ formances had been inad­ vertently burned Tuesday night by a school custodian. In the true tradition of “the show must go on,” the Little Victoria Slocum, 5, wowed the audience with her*spirited performance as the Fairy Godmother belting out instructions to Little Rabbit Foo Foo.

PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARY - The election this Tuesday will apportion Republican National Convention delegates among: George Bush; Ben Fernandez; Ronald Reagan; Harold Stassen; Uncommitted. John Anderson votes will not be counted for delegates. SENIOR DAY - Over 6,000 senior citizens converged on the Capitol last Wednesday to present to the legislature a platform of senior needs as developed from a statewide survey. The event was sponsored by the Area Agency on Aging Association. ACTING TREASURER - Governor Milliken has signed into law SB 969, which creates the office of Chief Deputy State Treasurer to carry out the functions of the office in the event of a vacancy or if the Treasurer were sick, disabled or absent. MEMORIAL WEEKEND - As we enter the beginning of the summer season with this Memorial Day weekend, traffic accidents are expected to be down due to fewer people on the road. This reflects decreased fuel consumption, and energy conservation. At the same time, though, gas tax revenues have dropped sharply, decreasing the money available for transportation projects. SCHOLARSHIP $ - The State Board of Education has announced that state scholarships for the 1980-81 school year will be a maximum of $950 per student as opposed to this year’s $1,200 maximum. This will be necessary because appropriations will remain about the same while applicants will increase 25 percent. These scholarships are based on financial need. NO HUNTING - The Attorney General has ruled that an 1836 treaty granting Ottawa Indians certain hunting rights does not permit those Indians to hunt without a license on private property: local prosecutors may bring charges against Indians for possessing untagged deer which are shot on private property. This has yet to be ruled on directly in the courts. VETERANS BONUS - June 30 is the final deadline to apply for a Michigan Vietnam Era Veterans Bonus, which can be as much as $600 per eligible veteran. For an application packet, ask at any MESC office; write Vietnam Bonus, 2500 S. Washington, Lansing 48913; call (517) 373-7320. STUDENT FATHERS - The Governor has signed into law HB 5205, which allows local school districts to establish special educational services for school-age parents. Prior law dealt only with expectant school-age mothers; this allows alternative, education for young fathers as well.

Vol. No. 52 — Wednesday, May 28, 1980 Building trades class holds open house Thursday was a good day for Melvin Kivela, Maple Valley Building Trades teacher and his class of 29 high school students. That was the day they were finally able to display their “report card” a spanking new $54,500 threebedroom ranch home on Chapel Drive in Nashville. The house is the culmination of a school year of hard work for 28 boys and 1 girl in two building trades classes in­ structed by Kivela. In conjunction with “Education Day” of Michigan Week, the class conducted a May 22nd Open House to give the public an opportunity to inspect their handiwork. The students were The lawn of the 1979-80 Building Trades house has been seeded and land­ scaping with evergreens and flowering crab add a final touch to the attractiveness of the new dwelling. The long driveway has been filled with crushed rock laid between two deep concrete curbs, all done by the students. responsible for doing all the electrical work, the rough & finish carpentry, and the decoration of the dwelling. In fact, they did all phases of construction except that which required professionals such as the building of the basement walls and floor, the plumbing and carpeting the floors. The students were able to help on these jobs though, so were given an opportunity to learn by observation. Cabinetry throughout the dwelling was handcrafted by the students, primarily 16 and 17 year old Juniors and Seniors. The 28x44 ft. vinyl-sided structure contains a 2-car garage,;'b garage,;'baths, ther­ mo p a n e sp windows throughout, ’in abundance of closest and is heated by a gas furnace with a wood-burning Auxiliary unit.

The learn-by-doing by 29 students in Kivela's class. process was augumented by such things as lectures by Kivela and each student’s drawing of a complete set of blueprints for a home of their own design. The blueprint involved 16 different tracings. Maple Valley’s Housing Class, under the direction of teacher Linda Johnson, had the responsibility of selec­ ting the color scheme and decorating materials, such as carpeting, tile, wallpaper, etc., for the building trades home. The home on Chapel Drive is the seventh structure built in the past seven year by students under the guidance, of Kivela. Four homes in Nashville, two in Vermontville, and the Administration Building at the high school are testimonials to the talents of Kivela and his students. The new home on Chapel Drive will now be offered for sale at a price recently set by the Board of Education at $54,500. The program is self­ perpetuating in that funds realized from the sale of this home will purchase materials for next year’s Building Trade student John Kent, a junior at MVHS, project, which at this time is welcomes Rev.

Education does not have to advance money for each project and the sale of the building trades house sup­ ports the learning program for two classes in the sub­ sequent school year, explains Ernie Jacoby, Community School Director.

Sunday, June 1 at 3:00 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, May 28. 1980 — Page 2 Nashville News The picture of Teddy Roosevelt in last week’s Memories story evoked recollection of a profound but almost forgotten ex­ perience for Mrs. Mildred Bursley of Nashville. For years she had not thought of her meeting with the great man, but the photo brought back a flood of memories. Since Mildred grew up in Michigan’s copper country near Calumet, it is not T. R.’s Nashville appearances she recalls. Her memories of Roosevelt date back to about 1904 when Teddy was seeking election to the presidential seat he had inherited at McKinley’s death. Mildred is sure it was a campaign event she wit­ nessed in Houghton at about seven years of age. Her grandmother, Mrs. John Martin Nester, took Mildred along when she went to the Amphridome Skating Rink to see the President, who was scheduled to appear there. “I remember he was selling peanuts to the aduience when we arrived,” said Mildred. She believes that was Teddy’s way of meeting folks in the crowd. Mrs. Nester approached the President and introduced herself, explaining that she was a Civil War widow since her husband had been killed at the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863 when Mildred’s mother was only 18 months old. Roosevelt then spoke with Mrs. Nester and Mildred and shook the hand of each. “I remember that he looked like such a huge man to me,” recalls Mildred. Being ex­ tremely bashful, she ran around behind the im­ pressive figure and grabbed hold of his swallow-tailed jacket and remained there while Roosevelt talked with Mrs. Nester. Her grand­ mother then told her that she now could claim she had clutched the coat of a president. Mildred, who was 12th in a family of 14 children, also remembers that Teddy and his aides drove through the streets of Houghton in a buggy, throwing candy to spectators along the route. A whirl of activities fill many local calendars this week as Maple Valley prepares to graduate its first class of the new 'decade.

Slated to per­ form is the Monday Night Special, a popular local bluegrass and gospel group. How many folks would like to see the old fashioned band concerts in Putnam Park resumed? In days gone by, Saturday night and Sunday performances were standard fare here and drew great throngs of music lovers to Nashville. Mrs. Gerald (Jane) Shoup of Nashville expressed to us the con­ viction that there might be enough interest to form at least an 8 and 10 member adult band that could per­ form regularly at the park, using the historic summer house as a band stand. Not many towns this size have such an excellent facility, she said, and it is a shame that it is not put to use. Jane has offered her talents as a musician and hopes there are others who share her feeling. We will look forward to hearing from others on this subject. Nineteen windows at Putnam Public Library will be winterized with federal funds offered under the U.S. Dept, of Housing and Urban Development,' the: library board learned' at their May 19 meeting. The board met with Steven L. Reid, ad­ ministrator of the $405,000 federal grant recently approved for the townships of Maple Grove and Castleton, including the village of Nashville. Other im­ provements at the libraKy are expected to include a barrier-free entrance, either in the form of. a ramp or chair lift, and repair to the building’s foundation. The HUD grant is scheduled to finance totally or in part several community projects. In addition, $210,000 of the grant will rehabilitate ap1 proximately 35 homes for low-income property owners. The improvements at the library are expected to be completed this year, according to present plans. At their meeting Monday, the Putnam Public Library board also expressed appreciation to Steve Stanton of Vermontville and Julie Sheldon Edger of Hastings for appraisal work they had done recently for the library. Nashville’s Friends of the Library pitched in to give Putnam a recent full-scale spring cleaning, and left the By Susan Hinckley interior shiny and glowing. Our community is so for­ tunate to have these many helping hands, all eager to promote the welfare of the library. The FOL is also to be commended for the recent trimming and raking done on the grounds of the facility. Randy Furlong, 19-yearold son of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Furlong of Nashville, remains in very serious condition condition at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids where he has been confined since a May 9 auto accident in which he sustained critical head injuries. Randy was unconscious for several days. He is now awake but has not regained his ability to speak. Last Tuesday, he was able to sit up and take liquid nourishment for the first time since he has been in the hospital. Russell Furlong has remained at his son’s side throughout the ordeal, sleeping on a cot in Randy’s room in the Progressive Care Unit at Blodgett. Randy was injured when he was thrown from his eastbound car when he apparently lost control of the vehicle on a curve on Vermontville Highway (State Road) west of Vermontville in Eaton County. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones of Battle Creek were in Nashville last Sunday to take his mother, Mrs. Caroline Jones, out for dinner in a belated Mother’s Day celebration. Mrs. Jones had spent Mother’s Day at Pennock Hospital visiting her daughter, Mrs. Joyce Lamie of Nashville, who was confined there due to complications with a recently-fractured wrist. Mrs. Lamie is now recovering at home. Mr. and Mrs. Austin Sehantz of Nashville were visited last week by his brother, Gene Schantz, and sister, Mrs. Marian Van Dellen, both of Grand Rapids. . Mr. and Mrs. Robert (Ardeen) Varney of Wellman Road were Tuesday evening callers on Mr. and Mrs. Ard Decker of Nashville.

Lonnie and Brenda Ott, gospel singers from Phoenix, Arizona, will be performing at 7 p.m. worship. Each Sunday in June will feature special events in recognition of “Rally Month” and this column will keep readers posted on upcoming programs at the Assembly of God. Gospel Singers Lonnie and Brenda Ott are also scheduled to appear in Nash­ ville the following Sunday, June8, during? p.m. evening services at the Nashville Baptist Church. Sunday afternoon guests of Mr. and Mrs. Earl (Clara) Pennock of rural Nashville were her sister and family, Marge and Henry Klevering and their son and his family, Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Klevering and Katie Jo, all of Muskegon. Accompanying the Kleverings to the Pen­ nock home was former Nashville resident Mrs. Zoe Gillett of Hastings, mother of Clara and Marge. Two daughters and a daughter-in-law of our local librarian, Mrs. La Duska Sheldon of Nashville, were in Toronto, .Canada, for five days last week to attend the Antiquarian Book Fair being staged there at the Plaza Hotel. Making the journey were Julie Sheldon Edger of Hastings, Paula (Sheldon) Kimble of Morrison Lake, and Lori Sheldon of Ludington. The trio made the trip to Toronto by train. Julie made the excursion in connection with her work as a dealer in antique books. Mrs. Mildred Bursley of Nashville entertained last Wednesday afternoon several members of a bir­ thday club comprised mostly of Vermontville and Kalamo area women. Present for the occasion were: Sylvia Craun, Hermina Southern, Kate Snider, Vera Wells, Barbara Wright, Dorothy Carrigan, Bessie Stewart, Margaret Ainsworth, Nellie Rider, Sarah Cook and Catherine Spears. A wedding reception Saturday, May 17, honored newlyweds Julie Sheldon and Mark Edger at their home in Hastings. Friends and relatives attended the event hosted by Julie’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nate Sheldon of Nashville. Mark is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Lynn Edger, former Nashville residents now of Baldwin. The wed­ ding cake for the event was made by Julie’s sister, Mrs. Howard (Natalie) Casterline of Assyria. Julie and Mark were married April 25. Jim Sheldon of Ludington was in Nashville for a few days last week to visit his parents, the Nate Sheldon, while his wife, Lori, attended the Antiquarian Book Fair at Toronto. The second annual Junior High Olympics of the Nash­ ville Baptist Church is set for June 6 and 7 at the Steve Knight residence on South M-66. The Olympics is an event that welcomes newlypromoted youngsters into the Junior High level of the Sunday School Dept. Many fun-filled activities are planned for the event which starts at 6 p.m. Friday and continues with an overnight camp-out until 11 a.m. Saturday. Among items on the agenda are a “car stuff” to see how many kids can squeeze into a Volkswagen; a unique obstacle course; a midnight movie; canoe games and a fishing contest in Mr. Knight’s pond. In May 20th competition in a newly-formed area church softball league, three games were staged in the East Division (Nashville area) and two in the West Division (Hastings area). Following are the scores from those contests: Vermontville Bible over Ainger Bible, 35-5; Nashville Baptist Youth over Nashville Nazarene, 21-8; and Heritage Hills No. 1 over Nashville United Methodist, 31-10. In the West Division, Cedar Creek Bible shut out Hastings Nazarene, 36-0; and Hastings Free Methodist North topped Irving Wesleyan, 17-6. The Finance Committee of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet at 8 p.m. Monday, June 2, at the home of Carl and Louise Bahs of Nashville. A United Methodist Church breakfast is set for 7:30 a.m. Sunday, June 1, at the Community House. The teens of the Nashville Church of the Nazarene will be sponsoring a car wash at the church Saturday, May 31. If your vehicle needs a sprucing up, take it to the youngsters for attention. They will be working all day to earn money for a planned trip to Cedar Point Amusement Park near Sandusky, Ohio. A Mother-Daughter Banquet at the Nashville Church of the Nazarene is set for 6 p.m. Thursday, May 29, at the church. Reservations may be obtained by calling the Nazarene parsonage. The main courses will be furnished; those attending are asked to bring a salad dish. Rev. Richard Wadsworth of the local Church of the Nazarene reports that discussion is currently un­ derway on the merits of establishing a nondenominational Christian School in Nashville. The three churches participating in the review of the pros and cons are the United Methodist, Assembly of God, and Nazarene. Anyone in­ terested in sending their children to such a school are asked to contact Rev. Wadsworth, Rev. Leonard Putnam, or Rev. Robert Taylor. The facility for the 3church organization would probably be set up in the Educational Unit of the Church of the Nazarene, since the single story brick structure is electrically heated. Robert Herman of rural Nashville was in Community Hospital in Battle Creek last week for tests. At this writing, it. was unknown how long he would be confined. The Builders Class of the United Methodist Church will meet at 8 p.m. Wed­ nesday, May 28 at the home of Ed and Edna Smith in Nashville. United Methodist Women will meet at 7:30 p.m. Wed­ nesday, June 4, at the church. Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville attended a MotherDaughter Banquet at the Gresham United Methodist Church last Thursday. She was accompanied by her daughter - in - law, Norma Woodbury, and grand­ daughters, Tonja, Truda, and Tammera, .of Ver­ montville. Tony Smith, 3-year-old son of Sidney and Agnes Green of Nashville, has the misfor­ tune to break his leg Thur­ sday and is in Pennock Hospital at Hastings for an approximately 3-weeks stay. Surgery and insertion of a pin was necessary. Sunday afternoon callers on Mrs. Melissa Showalter of Nashville were Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Holcomb of Assyria. Mrs. Elsie Ramsey and Mrs. Arlie Stambaugh at­ tended a pancake supper at the Dowling Country Chapel last Friday evening. Mr. and Mrs. Erwin (Bernice) Bruce of Battle Creek were dinner guests last Wednesday of Mr. and Mrs. Vern (Fern) Hablitz of Nashville. The two ladies are sisters. Later, they all went to Caledonia to visit the Lakeside Cemetery. Mrs. Helen Furlong sustained a cut on her head in a fall at her home last Wednesday. She was treated at the doctor’s office and is recovering at home. Sincere condolences are extended to the family of Milo “Mike” Hill, a former local resident who passed away last Tuesday at his home in Daytona Beach, Florida. Mike was a Nash­ ville native; he and his wife Marjorie, had moved to Florida in 1973 after Mike had developed severe coronary problems. Mike was well-known here as a longtime local auctioneer and real estate salesman. He was also formerly very active in the local Masonic Order. The recent Memories story on the old Lentz Table Company brought a letter from Kenneth Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin. The store evoked memories of a paper he had to write for one of his classes at Nashville High School. (Meade graduated from NHS in 1921). “Frank Lentz arranged for me to visit the factory and ask people questions,” he wrote. “From that information, I wrote a paper on how tables were made. The men who did the work were real craftsmen. I wish now I had kept that paper.” Meade said he didn’t delve into the history of the enterprise, but concentrated on the manufacturing process. “That probably was the budding scientist or engineer in me,” wrote Meade, who went on to become an engineer and is now an Adjunct Professor of Engineering at Oakland University. Kenneth A. Meade also had a comment on the Memories article on the Home Guard, civilian defenders of the homefront during World War I. “There was a lot of patriotism in 1917,” commented Meade. More than there would be today under similar cir­ cumstances.” He wrote that a number of the names .we had listed in the story lAre older high school boys he knew, and some later en­ tered active service. At least one, Herrick Schwart, died while in service and, as Meade remembers, was given a soldier’s burial when his body was returned. Central Park in downtown Nashville was brightened last week with colorful petunias and marigolds planted in the circular base of the old fountain pool. The flowers were donated by Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Hoffman of Hoffman Farm Market in Nashville. Members of the JORDAN DIST.

Some of that story is reprinted here along with additional information gleaned from old papers and other sources over the past year. We hope readers enjoy this expanded version.) What may well have been Nashville’s first official observance of Memorial Day came in 1886, and was heralded by this flowery announcement published in the Nashville News three weeks prior to the event: “Extensive preparations are being made for the proper observance of Memorial Day, which occurs this year on Monday, May 31st, in this village. All schools, both in Nashville and vicinity, are earnestly urged to organize and come fully prepared to join in the observance of the day set apart for per­ petuating the memory of the heroes who fell in defense of our flag and home. Let all people lay aside all secular occupations and gather together the beautiful flowers, bring them to garland the last resting place of our country’s defenders, and place them in their honor, wreaths of God’s beautiful flowers all along the way.” Turnout was excellent at the early observances of Memorial Day and the an­ nual event soon became a Nashville tradition. It was generally under the direction of the local Jefford’s Post, Grand Army of the Republic, and the local newspaper usually gave rave reviews. “Jefford’s' Post, G.A.R., assisted by the Women’s Relief Corps, had charge of Nashville’s excellent Memorial Day observances, which attracted a crowd of nearly 1,000,” reported the News after the 1900 holiday. “The Masonic Order, Odd Fellows and schools also participated in the parade to the cemetery, where some fine speeches were given and graves decorated.” Afternoon services with Rev. C. M. Welch as the principal speaker packed Nashville’s opera house. In a 1901 account of the holiday, the News lamented the fact that less than 20 Civil War veterans participated in the parade. Six years later, the News had a greater lament, citing lack of local interest in the traditional observance. “Decoration Day passed off quietly in the village,” admonished the 1907 report, “and had one not known it was Decoration Day, they could not have told for there was none of the usual ceremony that has designated this day heretofore in the village. There was no parade, there was no music, there was no oration to which the old soldiers could go and for a few hours be taken back to the times when they were fighting for their country.” There were a few girls with white dresses and blue sashes eating candy and peanuts, the account allowed, but there was no place for them to go, nor nothing for the people to see to remind them that this was the day set apart to do honor to the brave men who gave the best part of their lives for their country. The writer concluded that it was unbecoming for the people ofNashville to allow a Decoration Day to pass without showing some feeling of respect for the valiant soldiers who had passed beyond. The monotony of the day, the writer noted, was relieved with the decorating of graves in Lakeview Cemetery by those who had friends and relatives resting there. “The cemetery was very pretty; flowers and plants were in great profusion,” he 6 Cylinder Trucks 6 Cylinder Trucks 6 Cylinder Trucks The 1980...

Patriotic parades, memorial services and decoration of graves did not constitute the whole of Nash­ ville’s Decoration Day ac­ tivities, however. Memorial Day baseball games became a long-stAnding village tradition. And though there was no parade in 1907, there was a game. “The Nashville ball team suffered defeat Decoration Day at the hands of the Bissel House team of Grand Rapids,” advised the News. “Some really good ball playing was done by both teams; however, the visitors showed up better in team work, and this, coupled with some good hitting at the right time, is what won the game.” Early ball games' were staged at the driving park located along what is now Kellogg Street. Later, holiday games were played on a new athletic field built near the Thornapple River, west of the Main Street stores. The route of Nashville’s Memorial Day parade has varied throughout the years. In 1903, a year after the village’s large brick Union schoolhouse was destroyed by fire and rebuilt on the. same site, the parade en­ tourage assembled near the new edifice on Washington Street, between Queen and Middle. “Memorial Day services were largely attended Saturday and the weather, though, cool, was ideal for such an event,” noted the News in 1903. “The parade formed at a little after 10 am., marching from the school, through the business district and thence to Lakeview Cemetery, headed by the new Nashville band in their fine uniforms, and with large delegations from Jefford’s Post, G.A.R., and the Women’s Relief Corps, school children and mem­ bers of the fire department.” Some twenty years later, with Putnam Park then beautifully developed, the format for staging the holiday observance was altered a bit. The new summer house there served conveniently as a speaker’s platform. “Memorial Day was celebrated here in Putnam Park,” reported the News in 1925. “C.W. Pennock acted as chairman and Rev. B. J. Adcock of Hastings delivered the address. Af­ terward, a delegation of school girls were taken to Lakeview Cemetery to decorate the graves of veterans.” Garlands of flowers brightened the final resting places of veterans, the sites having been marked with miniature flags. “The American Legion placed flags on the graves of exactly 110 departed Civil War veterans, in addition to marking the graves of ten World War veterans,” ob­ served the News in May 1931.

In addition to the traditional afternoon baseball game, other holiday festivities beckoned local residents after the solemn morning ceremonies. ‘‘The Thornapple Lake Pavilion will open Decoration Day with a big dance in the evening, to the music of Wit Thomas’ orchestra,” ad­ vised the News in 1931. And one Decoration Day observance also touched Nashville’s practical side. “The Chamber of Com­ merce met Monday evening and spent most of their business session debating the question of closing on Memorial Day,” noted the News in May 1928. “It finally was decided that all stores would close at 10:30 a.m. butt some merchants have an­ nounced they will not even open up in the morning.” Nashville-517-852-9192 Olivet - 616-749-9962 "The The Mirrors Mirrors image image" 4 iuiaaer j CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT afterwards on hobo pies, Mystery Camporee patch as hotdogs and marshmallows. did the adult leaders.

Appointments will be mailed three (3) weeks in advance of area clinic dates. Parents are urged to keep the appointed dates and times in order to prevent delays and confusion. The schedule and location of each clinic is as follows: Nashville - Fuller Street School, June 5 thru June 17. Middleville - Minnie McFall School, June 18 thru June 26. Delton - Delton Elemen­ tary School, June 27 thru July 10. Hastings - Northeastern School, July 11 thru July 23. Due to low enrollment, there will be no clinic in Woodland this year.

In Michigan, we will elect for Congress, State Representative, all county and township officers, plus Supreme Court and educational boards, in November. BUDGET CUTS - Another round of cuts in the state budget for this and the next fiscal year will come soon. No depart­ ment will be exempt. This is due to the worsening economic situation, which is affecting Michigan worse than other states. PRIMARY BILL - Last week’s Presidential Primary election attracted less than 15 percent of our 5 million registered voters. Based on a projected cost of $4 million, that amounts to a taxpayer cost of$5 per vote cast. AFRICAN CONNECTION - Now in the Senate is HB 5446, which would prohibit the state from depositing any surplus funds in a financial institution that makes loans to South Africa or to corporations that do business with South Africa. The bill passed narrowly in the House, where it was argued that other countries which restrict human rights should be included in the ban. INTEREST RATES - Both houses have now approved HB 5715-17, which correct language in prior legislation so that the recently-enacted interest ceiling of 16.5 percent will apply only to motor vehicle loans. At the same time, the Senate approved SB 1136, which increases to 16.5 percent the interest ceiling on the unpaid balance on home improvement contracts. LIFELINE ELECTRICITY - Both houses have also ap­ proved SB 29, which creates a “lifeline” rate structure for electric utilities. Under this bill, a minimum bloc of elec­ tricity required for basic household needs would cost con­ sumers less than it does now. However, electricity use would then get more expensive as more is used: this will en­ courage energy conservation. VOLCANO FALLOUT - The Department of Natural Resources has said it expects no air-quality of health problems from the huge cloud of volcanic ash that passed over Michigan last week. By the time the cloud got here from Washington State; it had been greatly thinned by the wind. MEDICAL MARIJUANA - As a result of a 1979 law, Michigan is now the fifth state to have a therapeutic marijuana program for cancer patients. The first group of 900 marijuana cigarettes is now being distributed to pysicians who have qualified as researchers in the program. WHOSE CHILD? - Governor Milliken has now signed into law HB 4164, which allows adult adoptees to obtain in­ formation about their backgrounds and about the identity of their biological parents. But this would not be available if one parent had requested that it not be released.

Nash seeking re-election In an address to a group of Eaton County senior citizens Wednesday, State Representative Ernest W. Nash (R-Dimondale) announced he would seek a fourth term in the Michigan House of Representatives from the 56th District. Nash, who is vice chair­ man of the House Public Safety Committee, also serves on the Judiciary, Consumers, and State Af­ fairs Committees. “Because you have been wonderful people to work for and because I have enjoyed representing your views, the decision to seek re-election was an easy one,” Nash said. “In asking for your sup­ port, as I have in the past, I would' hope you believe I have done a goodjob and will continue to work on your behalf." Nash predicted that the presidential election and many-issues that may ap­ pear on the November ballot will make the 1980 campaign season exciting and challenging. He cited the transfer of the Grand Ledge Armory property to the Grand Ledge Schools, an eight year effort, as one of his most successful accomplishments. Through his efforts, the Department ofTransportation waived the requirements^ for reduced parking inMhe Portland downtown business district. “But I am especially proud of many constituent problems we have been able io solve,” Nash said. ‘‘During this campaign, as in (he past, I will express my CALENDAR of EVENTS May 27 - Swine Artificial Insemination School, Swine Research Farm, MSU, East Lansing May 30 - Land Use Workshop, Kellogg Center, MSU, East Lansing June 2 - West Virginia Exchange meeting, 7:30 p.m., James Rhodes residence, 8587 S.

A special assessment on an old sewer debt was slashed in half. The reduction will be reflected in 1980 tax notices to be mailed to local property owners in July. At their regular meeting, the Nashville Village Council took action to cut in half a 2mill assessment im­ plemented in 1964 when Nashville built a new sewer treatment plant. Now, the facility has been classed as outdated by state and federal environmental agencies and Nashville is about to embark on a $4.8 million sewer expansion program to extend collection lines and build a new lagoon and - irrigation wastewater treatment facility. Con­ struction on that project' is expected to get underway this summer. No millage will be levied to pay for Nashville’s new sewer system. The project is to be more than 80 percent financed by state and federal grants. Revenues generated from users of the new system will pay the bond issue for the local share of the project cost. Under the 1964 assessment, all property owners in the village shared the cost of constructing the treatment facility — even those taxpayers whose homes or businesses were not served by the collection system. The new project is ex­ pected to provide service to approximately 183 additional homes in the village. Thursday’s action means a savings to property owners of $1 for every $1,000 of state equalized evaluation. For example, a homeowner whose dwelling has a market value of $30,000 and an SEV of $15,000 would realize a $15 annual reduction of his-her village tax bill. The balance of the old sewer debt, which amounts to approximately $70,000, will be paid off by continued collection of 1 mill of the 1964 assessment. In other action Thursday, the council: Auto Service CENTER QUALITY WORKMANSHIP • TRANSMISSION REPAIRS • BODY & BUMP SERVICE • WHEEL ALIGNMENT & BALANCING • TUNE-UPS & MUFFLERS • MAJOR OVERHAULS • BRAKES Trowbridge Service 130 S.

The property was purchased by Gilbert Drewyor for the sum of $12,500 and increases to 171 acres the land acquired by the village for construction of the facility to be located on Brumm Road, northwest of Nashville. -Accepted from RiethRiley Construction Company of Battle Creek a proposal to sealcoat Phillips Street from Reed to Sherman at the cost of $4,178 and to pave a small parking lot west of the Masonic Temple for $2,110. Other proposed paving and resurfacing of village streets was postponed by the council, pending completion of sewer line construction. -Approved spread of the 1980 village property taxes as follows: 10 mills, General Fund; 5 mills, Streets; and 1 mill, Sewer.

Surprise message greets Jerry w w Among the plethora of signs that greeted shoppers at Johnson's Furniture in Nashville Monday morning was one wishing store owner Jerry Johnson a happy 40th birthday. No one is claiming responsibility for the banner which was probably placed on the storefront in the late night or early morning hours. The message greeted Jerry when he arrived to open the store on his May 19th birthday. He and his wife, Janice, say they’re not sure who deserves credit for the surprise message, but they have a few folks under suspicion.

Local students honored for business and office skills — Fifteen shorthand students from Maple Valley High School have qualified as Outstanding Achievers in business and office education, according to the Gregg Division of the McGraw-Hill Book Com­ pany. This year’s outstanding achievers include Beth Carmoney, Frances Nicewander, Sherry Morris, Cindy Murphy, Kim Teachworth, Sue Hickey, Susanna Barnhart, Penny Cheeseman, Gale Cooley, Celia Eaton, Sherry Kraai, Angie Webb, Renee Wright, and Debbie Youngs. In order to qualify as outstanding achievers, a student must pass one or more officiaj Gregg Shor­ thand tests from the Gregg Tests and Awards program. All tests are administered by the local instructor, Gail Sapp. Nhora Cortes-Comerer, editor of Today’s Secretary magazine and director of the program, - indicated that participation in the awards program continues to be one of the most successful motivational devices available to business education teachers. In the course of a single year, approximately 30,000 Gregg awards are processed, over half ofwhich relate to Gregg Shorthand. Ms. Cortes-Comerer states that one reason for such active participation is the demand for well-trained secretaries. “It’s gratifying,” she said, “to see so many young people excel and to know that they are well trained in one of the more vital business skills — Gregg Shorthand.” A TIME FOR TRIBUTE Lest We Forget! On this solemn occasion,we proudly pay tribute to our honored dead . . . and most especially express our thankfulness to those who have given their last full measure of devotion for our country, on the fields of battle. Now, as we are enabled to pause in respect and grat­ itude, we observe Memorial Day in the tradition of our great nation ..... And we feel privileged to be a part, and to take our part, in all that has contributed to our precious freedom. Let us now solemnly pledge that these great sacri­ fices Shall not have been in vain.

If people get squeezed this time maybe there will be a little return to the old “nest egg” or “rainy day” philosophy where families tried to have a little reserve.

(Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) In a class more than double the size of last year’s, thirteen adults received high school diplomas from Maple Valley Schools’ Adult Education program Thur­ sday evening. The class was the sixth to graduate from Maple Valley since the program was in­ stituted here in 1974. Ernest H. Jacoby, Com­ munity School Director, presided over Thursday’s formal graduation ceremonies held in the school auditorium. The commencement ad­ dress was / delivered by Stuart Openlander, a con­ sultant with Lansing Community College. Elam Rockwell, secretary of the Maple Valley School Board of Education, welcomed the audience of graduates, family and friends. Adult graduate Jerome Meehan of Nashville gave the response on behalf of the class. Meehan stressed the need for education in today’s job market and advised students M.V. Class of 1980 receive diplomas Rain failed to dampen the spirit of 118 seniors who received diplomas Sunday at Maple Valley High School. The Class of 1980, first of the new decade to graduate at MVHS, tossed their mor­ tarboards into the air and gave a rousing cheer at the conclusion of the ceremony. “Your generation has a better education than any other generation before it,” Dr. Darrell Pollard, Assistant Superintendent of Adrian School, told seniors in his commencement address. But that is secondary, Pollard added. He said the most important thing is what the graduates plan to do with their education. “We are judged by what we do with what we have,” he noted. Pollard said he was fed up with sympathy for the underdog, whom he characterized as one who sets back and “sops up' all our effort and tax dollars and contributes nothing but trouble.” He encouraged the 1980 grads to put their lives in proper perspective. *T m for the UPPER dog, ” concluded Pollard. Dr. Pollard was introduced by Superintendent of Schools Carroll Wolff, who welcomed the large audience to the commencement exercises in the high school gymnasium, James Myers of Nashville gave the salutatorian’s address, humorously telling his classmates that for thirteen years of schooling they were being rewarded with fifteen seconds on stage, a handshake, a piece of paper, a rose and a tassel. “But we don’t need an expensive, time-consuming ceremony to reward us,” concluded Jim, pointing out that education is its own reward. Continued on page 18— Continued on page 17— New ambulance arrives for Nashville base By Susan Hinckley A new ambulance was delivered Friday to the Nashville-based service, and a large portion of the price tag was covered by a federal grant. The U.S. Dept, of Housing and Urban Development furnished $18,000 toward the purchase price of the vehicle and the balance of $5,614 was paid by the Castleton-Maple Grove Ambulance Service. The federal funds are part of a $405,000 Community Block Grant approved last fall for the 2-township Nash­ ville area. The 1980 Ford ambulance was delivered by Don Holmquist, representing Dennis Distributors, Inc.,of Flint. A new 1980 ambulance was delivered Friday to the Nashville-based service and a large portion was paid with federal grant funds.

The new unit is designed with increased head room as required by state regulation, and also provides more storage area than in the old ambulance. . A special feature in the new ambulance is a silent communication system that allows the Emergency Medical Technician at­ tending a patient to alert the ambulance driver to the condition of the subject without alarming him by verbal communication. The driver is alerted by a light panel near the dash. The ambulance will soon be equipped with a new 4Channel 2-way Motorola radio for communication with the dispatching base in Hastings. That unit has been ordered from a Lansing dealer and is expected in about two weeks, at which time the new ambulance will be operational. The 2-way radio will be paid for by recent donations of $2,000 from the Nashville Lions Club and $500 from the local Chamber of Commerce. Chamber makes bike racks -for downtown Vermontville Thanks to the efforts of the Vermontville Chamber of Commerce, bike riders will have the convenience of placing their bicycles in newly installed racks when they come to shop downtown. Bill Mason, Vermontville Village President, and Pat O'Dell, president of the Chamber, admire the first of four bike racks which will be placed in the downtown area. The Chamber is making the racks and still needs some second-hand pipe to complete the project. Anyone who would like to contribute to the project in this way is asked to contact Mrs. O'Dell.

June 4; 1980— Poge*2 Nashville News Graduates of long ago are attracting quite a bit of at­ tention at Putnam Public Library. Displayed on a table in the Main Room are pictures of Nashville’s high school graduating classes of 1895,1917, 1926 and 1956, that the library received as a “bonus" gift last week. These large poster-sized photos were “extras" printed in an alumni picture updating program at Maple Valley High School. There, in large loose-leaf style wall display racks, volunteers Nelson and Geneva Brumm of Nashville have been working to arrange and identify photos of NHS graduates dating back to 1895. The earliest class to graduate at Nashville was in 1887, but so far they have located group photos only back to 1895. In a combined school and alumni association effort, a few large photo prints are made each year from smaller sized old photos that are often loaned for the project. There is also a similar display of Vermontville High and Maple Valley graduates at the school. In time, it is hoped that every graduating class of each will be represented in the alumni display in the halls of MVHS. Meanwhile, library patrons in Nashville are thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to view the duplicates brought to Putnam by Nelson Brumm. Also attracting attention in the photo display at Putnam are pictures of the NHS Class of 1918 and Class of 1955. Both were presented to the library last week by Peg Mater of Nashville. Her mother, tbe late Mrs. Mildred Purchiss Mater, is pictured in the Class of 1918 and Peg is in the Class of 1955. All the recently donated class photos will become part of the permanent Michigan and Local History collection exhibited in a refurbished room on the second floor of Putnam Public Library. Photos and other bits of- local memorabilia are always a welcome addition to that display. Thanks to a recept story in the Maple Valley News, the final dozen homes being sought for rehabilitation through a federal grant to the Nashville area have been located. Thirty-five homes have now been approved for the project, to be financed by $210,000 of a total $405,000 Community Block Grant from the U.S. Dept, of Housing and Urban Development. .Steven L. Reid, administrative assistant in the Barry County Grants Office, who is responsible for administering the Nashvillearea grant, reports that his phone literally “rang off the hook” after the May 14 M.V.N. story which noted that the program was still twelve homes short of its goal. Now that additional number of qualified homeowners has been found, By Susan Hinckley bringing to thirty-five the total count of Castleton­ Maple Grove area dwellings that will benefit from the federal grant. Repairs costing up to $8,000 per residence will be made to the homes to bring them up to Barry County’s basic maintenance code. The program is aimed at im­ proving owner-occupied homes of low-income families. Eligibility is based on family size and income. A few local homes have already been completed, and bidding and construction are underway on several others. Visiting in Nashville recently are former local residents Jack and Virginia Green of Melbourne, Florida. They called on her mother, Mrs. Theresa Hess, and brother and family, Jack and Catherine Hess, and other relatives and friends in the area. Mr. and Mrs. Tony Klont of Lansing were recent callers on his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis of Nashville. The Klonts had just returned to Michigan after wintering in Florida. When the local Assembly of God was established in a storefront building on Nashville’s North Main Street in 1953, Rev. Malcom Miller was its founder and first pastor. The church was housed in a building that stood on the site of the present-day Hecker Agency. Since then, the church has greatly expanded, building a new facility on Reed Street in the late 1960’s. In honor of the June “Rally Month” at the Assembly of God, Rev. Miller will travel from his home in Atlanta, Georgia, to speak at both the morning and evening worship service at the Nashville church on Sunday, June 8. Rev. Miller left the village a few years after establishment of the local church, and the pastorate changed several times before the arrival of Rev. Robert Taylor, the present pastor Who came here from Charlotte in 1966. Several other special events are planned in recognition off “Rally Month” and this column will keep readers posted on upcoming programs at the Assembly of God. Gd. An unused and hazardous east-west sidewalk bounding Central Park’s south side was removed by Nashville’s DPW crew last week,, thereby slightly expanding the parking area behind Village Hall. A low rail fence will be installed to delineate the graveled lot from the adjacent lawn. The old cement walk once ran bet­ ween Main Street and Pine Alley, beside the old Flo Theater, and it has been in a deteriorating state since the movie house was razed in the 1960’s. The village recently purchased the now vacant site of the old theater which connects the Nashvilleowed properties of Village Hall and Central Park. The United Methodist Women will meet at the Community House in Nash­ ville at 7:30 p.m. Wed­ nesday, June 4. James and Elizabeth (Smith) Good of Silver Springs, Maryland, were in Michigan last week to visit friends and relatives, and they spent several days here with Genevieve Hafner and her mother, Mrs. Emily Hafner, of Nashville. Mrs. Good is a Nashville native, having grown up on her family’s farm west of tow. She graduated from NHS in 1927. A large antique Bible, which has been passed dow through several generations of the family of Harley Wrigglesworth of Nashville, was recently mended and refurbished by the staff at Putnam Public Library. The task was done under a p program instituted earlier this year by the local Friends of the Library as a fuhdraiser. The FOL members have had several sessions of instruction by the local library staff to learn the proper technique of mending books. Since the Wrigglesworth volume was such an unusual task, the staff volunteered to undertake that project themselves. In appreciation for restoration of the Bible, a generous donation was given to the FOL for use in their work atPutnam Public Library. Mrs. Leah (Walrath) Partridge of Flint was in Nashville on Memorial Day to call on Mr. and Mrs. Richard (Margaret) Engle and family.

MICHIGAN Nashville, Michigan Eaton Rapids. Michigan Olivet, Michigan �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, June 4, 1980— Page 4 Memories of the past By Susan Hinckley Looking back to Nashville High's first graduation Nashville’s first high school commencement in 1887 was an elaborate affair, filled with all the “pomp and circumstance” normally associated with such an event. However, the presentation of diplomas by Professor J. W. Roberts, head of the local school, may have the most brief item on the agenda. There were only four graduates: Clarence Barber, Emma Barber, Nashville's 1884 Union School had a 3-year high school curriculum when its first seniors graduated in 1887. There was no commencement in 1890, the year the 3-year course was expanded to four. The Union school burned in 1902 and was replaced with a similarlystyled brick edifice. Alice (Allie) Downs, and Alice Smith. The event was held in the Methodist Church on Friday evening, June 17, 1887, and attracted a great number of people. “The doorway was so crowded that many were unable to gain admittance,” noted a News account. The church was decorated with evergreens and beautiful house plants in full bloom. In addition, elegant bouquets, a traditional gift to graduates at that time, added to the beauty of the sanctuary. Strung above the platform at the head of the room was a banner bearing the motto of the Class of 1887: “We finish but to begin.” The program was lengthy, filled with music and speeches. Un­ dergraduates contributed much of the oration. The high school choir sang but since there was then no high school band, instrumental music was furnished by the Nashville Coronet Band Are You Being Rushed? Need Your Corn Sprayed, Nitrogen Applied? We can do it with 1 trip! CITIZENS ELEVATOR CO 870 S. MAIN - VERMONTVILLE Phone 726-0514 comprised of adults in the community. The four graduates had completed a three-year course of study that then constituted a high school education at Nashville’s new 1884 Union High. The curriculum at the high school reached far beyond what is traditionally con­ sidered the “three R’s” of early education. Studies for the two highest grades at Nashville’s Union School in 1887 were: Bookkeping, Physiology, Algebra, General History, English Literature, Philosophy, German, Latin, Botany, and Geometry. Professor Roberts is generally credited with implementation of this well-rounded study course. Though there were only four graduates in 1887, there were 300 pupils enrolled in Nashville’s school that year, including elementary grades. High school students equaled roughly one-fifth of the total early enrollment, according to figures published in the News in the fall of 1887: “School opened Monday with a total of 225 students. The high school numbers 46. The number of non-resident students is fifteen.” The high ratio of “drop outs” in that day is clearly evidenced by the tiny tally of early graduates: Class of 1887, four; 1888, four; 1889, seven; 1891, six; 1892, five. There were no graduates at NHS in 1890 because that was the year the high school curriculum was advanced from a three to a four year course. The number of seniors receiving diplomas gradually increased. In 1898, the graduating class of NHS had grown to 17 members. The following year, the number of graduates dropped back to a dozen. As senior classes ex­ panded, so did the activities surrounding commencement. “Graduation activities will commence June 10 with Baccalaureate services at the Methodist Church,” advised the News in 1900. “On June 13 will be the Junior-Senior reception at the Opera House, followed by a Class Night program on Thursday, June 15. The alumni banquet and reunion will be held at the Opera House Friday night, June 16.” By then, the Opera House, less than a block from the Methodist Church on Washington Street, had become the focal point of Nashville’s social events. When local businessmen Elihu Chipman and H. M. Lee set about building the 32 x 100 ft. frame structure in 1876, the probably little realized what a vital part the building would play in Nash­ ville history. With 22 ft. high ceilings, a balcony stage at one end and gallery on the other, and a house floor equipped with folding por­ table chairs, the facility lent itself to a wide variety of community activities. Graduation time brought a special glow to the Opera House. For several years, commencement events centered in the half-block of Washington Street between the Methodist Church and the Opera House Nashville’s Union School was destroyed by fire in' 1902 and im­ mediately was replaced with an even more impressive brick edifice on the same site. But it wasn’t until the W. K. Kellogg addition was made to that building in the late 1930 s that there were Elsie Mayo poses with flowers she received at her 1892 graduation from NHS. Bouquets were customary graduation gifts; were often displayed at commencement exercises. A floral garland adorns Elsie's tradi­ tional graduation dress. Boys wore dark suits. Caps and gowns did not come into use at NHS until the 1930's. Elsie holds her large rolled diploma. Five were awarded that year. (Photo loaned, courtesy Helen Furniss) The 1881 Methodist Church on Washington St. was the scene of Nashville's first graduation in 1887. There was an overflow crowd to watch the class of four seniors receive diplomas. Many later commencement exercises were staged at the Opera House, half a block away. adequate facilities to stage graduation exercises at the school. Then, the spacious new auditorium-gymnasium with balcony and stage (in present-day Kellogg School) became the center of Nashville’s high school commencement events. The program for Nashville’s first high school graduation in 1887 lists the following: Open Air Voluntary by the Nashville Coronet Band; Invocation by Rev. A. H. Gamble; Solo.

Nyle will join thirty-four Michigan 4-H’ers from she other counties, as they spend June 21-28 in Washington, D.C. The 4-H’ers will use the nation’s Capitol as a classroom in order to learn more about their rights, responsibilities and heritage as American citizens. Nyle will have the opportunity to participate in workshops, seminars and field trips. He has also arranged to meet with our elected representatives on Capitol Hill. In addition to being an active 4-H member, Nyle is very involved in school, church, and community activities, including serving as chairman of the local Muscular Dystrophy Association. The trip costs From our readers To the Communities of the Maple Valley School District: It is my deep regret that, on a day set aside for honoring those who have given their lives in the service of our country, a decision I alone made would cause ill feelings between the communities of Ver­ montville and Nashville. I can offer no excuses, only a possible explanation for the parade mix-up. Many things have hap­ pened this year with which I have been very unfamiliar and have not totally un­ derstood. The Memorial Day parades were such a situation. At the time I was first contacted, I did not know which town was to receive the high school band, hence the mistake. Above all, I am deeply sorry that this decision, I alone am responsible for, might have resulted in ill feeling towards the ad­ ministration and organizations which have supported my program. I have enjoyed my position here this year and look op­ timistically toward building a strong and active band program in Maple Valley. I am deeply sorry for the $300, the majority being paid by Nyle. Anyone wishing to help support Nyle in this learning experience, may do so by sending a taxdeductible contribution to the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service,' 126 N.

Senior citizens are reminded, by school of­ ficials, of the property tax relief that is available to many through the filing of the senior citizens homestead property tax credit claim which allows full reimbursement on a household income of less than $3,000 annually. For senior citizens (over 65 years and older) there is a sliding scale with 100 percent to $1,200 maximum credit or rebate: For household in­ comes of $0 to $3,000 there is 0 percent not refundable; $3,001-4,000, one percent not refundable; $4001-5,000, two percent; $5001-6,000, three percent; and over $6,000, 3.5 percent not refundable. Seventeen percent of the annual rent paid for a dwelling may be claimed by the senior citizen as equivalent property tax. Persons living in a nursing home may claim $1,500 or 30 percent of the nursing home charges annually as rent equivalent. Senior citizens living in a mobile home park may claim (as property tax) $36 per year plus 17 percent of the annual rent paid, according to school officials. Property tax relief benefits are also available to some veterans, blind, paraplegic, quadriplegic or totally disabled persons through the filing of the property tax credit claim. For those under 65-years, taxpayers are expected to pay at least 3.5 percent of the household income in property taxes. The non­ senior citizen is eleigble for a state income tax credit or rebate of sixty percent of the property taxes paid above this 3.5 percent figure to a maximum of $1,200. KEEP IT UP.

Sri Vermontville pays tribute on Memorial Day — Vermontville paused on Memorial Day to honor the war dead and pay tribute to those who have served and sacrificed for our country. The day’s activities included a morning parade through the heart of town and graveside ceremonies at Woodlawn Cemetery. American Legion Post 22 sponsored the Memorial Day events. After parading through town, the procession paused to place a wreath at the'G.A.R. monument before continuing to the cemetery. Veterans, scouts, riders on horseback, and the school board were all a part of the line-up viewed by spectators of all ages.

Wednesday, June 4, 1980— Page 14 Plan an evening at the Opera House June 5 Bill Christensen, Mary Carpenter, Jeff Briggs find out what did happen to Henry! (Photos by Eileen Carrigan) Melodramas come to life this Thursday, June 5, at 8 p.m. in Vermontville’s historic Opera House. If you have not had the chance to be in this unusual building, take this opportunity to see old days in action. Booing villians, cheering heros, and whistleing at heroines will be the order of the night. Not to mention singing olde time songs, and the laughs, enough to last you until the next production. A special feature is the opening performance of an original production written expressly for the Maple Valley Players’ group by a member, Jeff Briggs. This is his . first attempt at authorship, spurred on by the needs of the group after a talk session full of suggestions from Bryce Feighner, Mary Carpenter, Linda Jones, Jeff, and director Dorothy Carpenter. Jeff volunteered to come up with a script featuring a railroad coach scene com­ plete with puns and fun. “Punny Times on the Pike Line Poquett” or (“Rhap­ sody on the Railroad”) features veteran and novice actors of the troupe, in­ cluding: Dorothy Carrigan as the Conductor; Rev. Righteously DeVine played by Bryce Feighner; Shirley Imhoff as poor Mary Meager with her son Bill (Marty Martin) for all people have bills; Sylvester Saintly (Jim Peterson) father of heroine Samanta Saintly portrayed by Eileen Carrigan; heroic Peter Pureheart by Dennis Jarrard; Ron Carpenter as the villianous Lem Lecherous; plus a Mystery Man and other passengers. The plot will leave you singing about “I’ve been lurking on the railroad’ * for a long time to come.” Also featured will be the two one acts presented at the Maple Syrup Festival per­ formances: “Her Heart Belong to Heartburn” or (“Unsteady Times at the Stagger Inn”) by Karen Fendrich with cast members Linda Jones, Martha Christensen, Marciea Shipman, Bryce Feighner, and Jeff Briggs; and “The Widow’s Might” or (“What Happened to Henry”) by C. H. Keeney featuring players Joyce Peterson, Jeff Briggs, Mary Carpenter, Martha and Bill Christensen. Hildred Peabody will be playing sing - along - songs for the whole family while MC Gene Fisher warms up the crowd for boos and hisses. Popcorn and soft drinks will be ready to add to the atmosphere. Curtain time is 8 p.m. Each on&act performance lasts less than a half hour. Autograph party follows the last play. A 50 cent donation is requested to help pay for flats, props and books.

Kellogg students take a closer look at the world Mike Hoy created an interesting hut to complement his study of Surinam- Students in Mr. Hustwick’s fifth grade at Kellogg School in Nashville have been busy with individual study projects about various countries in the world. Students made detailed maps of the countries and some created other drawings and artificats to depict the culture in addition to compiling written reports on the subject. The finale of the project was setting up displays of their work in the gym for the entire student body to view.

Plans are in motion for the summer program. The Story Hour, sponsored by the Woman’s Club with the assistance of the Friends of the Library, will begin on Tuesday, June 24th at 1:30 in the afternoon and continues each Tuesday through July 29th. As well as stories for the children, dramatics for the older children are being planned by Hildred Peabody. Also scheduled are three films for children of all ages. On Friday, June 20th, at 2:00, the Muppet Movie will be shown. On July 18th, we have scheduled Walt Disney’s Pinocchio, and on August 1st, the Jungle Book. The location for the film showings will be announced at a later date. Additional help is needed with all of these programs. Without your help there can be no summer program, so if you can give an hour of your time this summer to tell stories, show off a talent, or help supervise a film showing, please call the library.

Gerry and his wife, Liz, reside in Melbourne, Australia and are spending a few weeks in Barry County with his aunt and uncle, Mary and Omer Dean of Thornapple Lake. It’s been a wonderful reunion for all the family members including Beatrice Cook, Gerry’s grandmother. Mrs. Cook and Mr. and Mrs. Dean went to Australia last fall to visit Gerry and Liz. That was the first time the group had been together in 24 years. Gerry and Liz are here on a combined pleasure and business trip. He is a chemical product manager for Selby’s Scientific which sells its products all over the world. This is Liz’s first trip to America and she is par­ ticularly fascinated with the barns and silos which dot the area’s landscape. Seeing squirrels scurrying on the lawn and scrambling up trees is another first, as there are no squirrels in Australia.

On the other hand, there should be new techniques of law enforcement devised to minimize use of gasoline. I believe parked police cars can be as effective or more effective than moving ones in controlling speeders. After all, more traffic passes a parked car than can be passed by a moving one. But parked cars must have sufficient gas to run down violators. The weakness of parked car patrolling is the lack of service to stranded motorists. It is annoying anywhere to be stranded on the road without the customary helpful stop by a state policeman. In certain areas of the state, it is more than annoying, it is dangerous. Somehow, these problems must be solved. Could we return to some motorcycle patrols? These proved very ' dangerous when they were the common mode of road patrol in the 20’s and 30’s. In looking at the State Police honor roll of those killed in the line of duty in our State Police headquarters, I was amazed at the numbers killed in those early years of the State Police compared to more recent history. I was told that most of the deaths were on motorcycles. Perhaps this could be solved if the motorcycle patrol did not run down violators but primarily provided service and used radios to help in law enforcement. Or, perhaps the problems of service to stranded motorists could be alleviated through an imaginative CB program where motorists were requested by sign to relay stranded motorist information to State Police monitors. So far, I’m not sure that State Police have responded to the economic crisis fully and responsibly. They ran out of gas and, of course, we had to respond by approving more funding. Maybe Jhere is no good way to drastically reduce State Police expenditures. But almost every department can put the political squeeze on for more funds if they choose to go that route. Schools can send the kids home and mental health can return dangerous psychotics to the states. Agriculture can delay or­ derly marketing of livestock through inadequate in­ spection and the Secretary of State can delay car title applications until car dealers scream. The question is, during this economic crisis, will all government agencies reprioritize, innovate, and scramble to deliver the best possible service at lower cost or will they use the occasion to demonstrate how really vital some of their activities are to the public? So far, it’s hard to tell. But, I’m not seeing as much innovation as I’d like. For a limited period of time, all agencies should be able to deliver all their most vital services adequately on 10 or 15 per­ cent less dollars.

It also can be a challenge to the novice cookout chef who is responsible for selecting the meat for the grill and cooking it.

Wadsworth at the Church of the Nazarene in Nashville. Matron of honor was Mrs. Jerome Meehan and the best man was Jerome Meehan. Following the wedding, a reception was held at the church. THE REMINDER PHONE 945-9554 Meat should be cooked at a low to moderate tem­ perature on the grill just as in the kitchen,' since high heat makes meat less tender and juicy. For this reason, the wise outdoor cook waits until the coals are covered with gray ash, and has a spray bottle of water handy to put out flare-ups. It is important to keep a careful check on meat during cooking. Total time will vary with cut, weather, fire or heat, position on grill and doneness desired. Use a meat thermometer to ac­ curately determine the doneness of large cuts of beef cooked on the rotisserie. Steaks and burgers are turned and seasoned on each side after browning, not before, since salt retards browning. Use tongs rather than a fork to handle steaks to prevent loss of flavorful juices.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phonfe 945-9554 (Hastings) Maple Valley News, Vol. No. 54 — Wednesday, June 11, 1980 Maple Valley voters say 'No' to school millage increase; Corkins elected for board Maple Valley District Voters overwhelmingly rejected a proposed threemill increase for operation of the school by a vote 536 to 354 in Monday’s election. Frederick Corkins of Nashville was elected to the board of education; however, that final tally was not available at press time. Several individuals also received write-in votes for the position. Corkins was the only candidate on Monday’s ballot to fill the one four-year seat open on the board. In­ cumbent Charles Viele did not seek re-election. A breakdown of the total vote shows that in Nashville, at precinct one of the Maple Valley District, the millage proposal lost 319 to 197. In Vermontville, at precinct two, the voters rejected the proposal 217 to 157. Less than 20 percent of the registered voters turned out for the election. There were 11 spoiled ballots. Superintendent of Schools Carroll Wolff declined to speculate Monday night what the loss would mean to the school district. “We will have to review the entire operation,” he said. “We know that there will be general reductions.” The last operational millage increase at Maple Valley was in 1974. The district presently operates on 22.3 mills. Of that amount, 14 mills have been approved by voters; and 8.3 mills are allocated by the county.

Nashville Lions to donate s2,000; Chamber $500 for ambulance radio The Nashville Lions Club, represented here by Secretary-Treasurer Nelson Brumm, right, has approved $2,000 toward the purchase of a 4-channel Motorola 2-way radio for the new ambulance recently acquired by the Nashville-based service. Also contributing to the radio purchase, with a $500 donation, was the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, represented by President Charles Andrus, Jr., left. Accepting congratulations on the new emergency vehicle is Doug Aspinall, president of the Castleton-Maple Grove ambulance squad. The new radio is more powerful than the one currently in service in the old ambulance, and will allow better communication between ambulance personnel and the hospital, sheriff's dept., and emergency dispatching service in Hastings. The old vehicle will be retained as a backup unit for the new ambulance which was purchased primarily with federal grant funds. * (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) �The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Wednesday, June 11, 1980 — Page 2 l*Ll Nashville News The community was saddened to learn of the drowning. May 31, of Cary Marshall Goodner, 38, of Nashville. He was lost in an airboat accident on the Grand River near Saranac Saturday evening when the craft he was on was swamped by its own wake after a sudden stop. Two Lyons men were also on the boat but swam to shore after the mishap. Goodner reportedly could not swim and was not wearing a life jacket. Divers from Kalamazoo, Kent, Barry and Ionia counties located Goodner’s body Tuesday afternoon. Services were held Thursday at Vogt Funeral Home in Nashville with a large number of mourners in attendance. Survivors include his wife, the former Gloria Elliston of Nashville; four children; his parents, of Hastings; and a sister. A brother was drowned while swimming 16 years ago. Sincere con­ dolences are extended to the family.

Nashville, Wednesday, June 11,1980 — Page 4 1920 tornadoes dipped near Nashville claiming four lives “There are two paralleling stretches of desolate waste in Barry County,” reported the Grand Rapids Press after two simultaneous tornadoes cut devastating dual swaths across the county on March 28,1920. “In these stretches, the pathway of two terrible tornadoes which struck down buildings, snuffed out four lives and destroyed property of all kinds with a ruthless hand, there is today nothing but a level waste of broken timber, indiscriminate masses of cattle and horses and vacant house foundations.” The most deadly of the two Sunday afternoon storms had torn into the heart of Maple Grove Township, about four miles south of Nashville. There, a trio of houses was obliterated and three lives claimed that day. A fourth victim would succumb four days later. “Ripping up fences and forests, the cyclone tore its way into the farms of George Belson, James Moon and Lee Gould, in the Wilcox Church neighborhood, where its most demoniac fury was spent,” advised the Nash­ ville News. Mrs. Nellie Moon of Nashville, whose late husband, Carl, lost his mother, father and grand­ mother in’ the tragedy, remembers the cyclone that struck about 5 p.m. “We had come into town by horse and buggy to visit my family,” she recalls. “The sun was shining but all of a sudden a wind began to blow terribly.” Mrs. Moon remembers the relentless gale and how the sun continued to shine. Feeling uneasy, Nellie and her husband made a hasty retreat to their Cloverdale Road farm, located about a half-mile east of the home of his parents, James and Dora Moon, which was adjacent to Wilcox Cemetery. Moments after their arrival, Nellie and Carl were busy relocating one of their sows and her piglets that had been left homeless by the wind. Suddenly, one of James Moon’s cows came running wildly down the road and Carl sensed something was terribly wrong. He and Nellie headed for his parents home. When they arrived, only a few rafters of the dwelling were standing. Nellie still remembers looking skyward into the black funnel cloud swirling overhead. “It was awful to see,” she recalls. The cloud was really shaped like a funnel, with a tail that whipped back and forth and kept jumping up and down.” Chunks of debris were Lee Gould's barn was the first major strike on Cloverdale Rd., but his home was spared and became a haven for injured neighbors. The cyclone drive timbers so deeply into the ground that teams .of horses were needed to pull them out, remembers Lawrence Gray, whose uncle lived on the hard-hit Liebhauser farm on Dowling Rd. When McCartney's barn was blown away, his horses were found u ndisturbed, still tied to the manger. Many other animals in the area had to be destroyed. A stone foundation (foreground) is all that's left of the George Belson home after a 1920 tornado ripped through the Wilcox neighborhood in the heart of Maple Grove Township, claiming four lives. One perished in the Belson house, two in the James Moon home which stood across the road near the large tree. Another victim died 4 days later. By auto and rig, sightseers flocked to the tragic Scene. (Photos loaned, courtesy Lawrence Gray) Entire fields were littered with wreckage and dead farm animals. Swept bare of homes, barns and outbuildings, the Moon and Belson properties resembled a war zone when these photos were taken the next day.

Though bruised and cut, they were not seriously injured. “Mr. McCartney saw the storm coming and called to his wife to come with him to the cellar,” added the News account. “Instead, she started for the door. Just as she reached it, Mr. Mc­ Cartney got her by the arm. Just then the crash came and the next thing they knew they were crawling out from under a huge pile of wreckage, glad to realize that they were both alive.” However, everything they had on earth except 10 acres of land had vanished in the twinkling of an eye. Even so, they had much for which to be thankful. A sadder fate befell their neighbors whose homes were struck just minutes earlier. At George Belson’s place on Cloverdale Road,, seven persons were in the house. The family saw the storm coming but before they could make a move to get to the cellar, the buildings went and the occupants with them. Edith Belson, 17, was almost instantly lulled when her father’s house was ut­ impending danger.

There was no clinic in Woodland this year due to low enrollment. Subsequent fluoride clinics will be held at schools in Middleville, Delton and Hastings, where the program concludes on July 23. The Barry County Topical Fluoride Program for the summer of 1980 got un­ derway Friday at the Fuller St. Elementary School * in Nashville. The program is run under the auspices of the Michigan Department of Health and set up by the Barry County Health. Chairing the Nashville program is Mrs. Jack (Judy) DeGroot. She is assisted with scheduling by Mrs. Amado (Jill) Cardenas. Children receive the treatments by appointment. It requires three visits to the clinic to complete the process.

The storm which brought such terror to the Wilcox Church neighborhood had come up through Climax, visited the summer resort at Fine Lake, where 12 cottages and a dance hall were destroyed, tore through Johnstown Township and slammed into Maple Grove Township, where its worst havoc was wrought. First struck in this area was the Clyde Kenney place, where a barn was damaged, and the Ed Liebhauser farm on Dowling Road where the Ernest Gray family lived. There, an old barn was entirely wrecked and a big new barn was stripped to the frame, and an orchard uprooted. The next stop was at Elmer Shafer’s, where a barn was twisted beyond salvage. At Lee Gould’s place on Cloverdale Road, a barn was badly wrecked and part of the house roof torn away while an auto did an airborne somersault over Mr. Gould’s head. The deadly visits to the Belson and Moon homes followed, before the wind leveled all but the house at the Frank Downs farm then skipped over to the McCartney place. The farm of R.B. Hayes Tieche was the next one to feel the wrath of the storm. “Hayes says all he has left on his place is his house and barn and his family, but he is not finding any fault, ” commented the News. Tieche had been in town at the time of the storm, and five of his children had a experience harrowing making their way from the barn to their house, but were Helen Brimmer is enjoying being a young great grandmother.

He lost a barn, and twelve tons of hay in the structure disappeared completely. A loss of another sort was sustained by Edwin Penfold. “He had 23 acres of splendid timber, with one of the best sugar bushes in the township,” explained the News. “Less than 4 acres of timber remain standing.” Others who lost barns and outbuildings and suffered damage to their homes were James Rose, Ora Chaffee and William Wells. The storm lifted near Kalamo then skipped onto Portland, traveling east across Michigan and doing much damage en route. There were 12 state fatalities and an estimated property loss of $2,000,000 reported by the Grand Rapids Press. Sightseers flocked to the Maple Grove scene. “Lots of folks came out that evening,” remembers Nellie. “They had to drive in from the east because of the roadway being blocked. And they came for many weeks afterwards.” The day after the cyclone struck, a mass meeting was called in Nashville and a solicitation committee formed. Before the gathering adjourned, a total of $1,001 had been raised for the local storm victims. When the News went to press Wednesday, additional contributions had brought the fund to $1,603 and more money was promised. “That amount won’t rebuild many wrecked homes and barns, but it will help relieve immediate distress and help the un­ fortunate to get on their feet and start over again,” ob­ served the News, “and it surely shows our good neigh­ bors to the south that our sympathy is real.” 'Kdleq,'4'Variety Store 115-117 N.

In a small way, that very wish is now coming true. Although the story is not being verbally conveyed, the saga of Nashville's past will be portrayed through colorful murals now being painted on the interior walls of-the recently - renovated structure. The mural project was started last week by local artist Dale Ann Morawski. She is being assisted by CETA employees Dawn Brush, 18, of Nashville and Amber Galloway, 19, of Lacey. Both youngsters are working under the Youth Community Conservation Improvement Project, throughout the summer. The waterworks building project is expected to take about three months to complete. , Dale Ann Morawski, left, artist in charge of the mural project at Nashville’s recently renovated 1891 waterworks building explains detail work to her assis­ tants, CETA Youth employees, Amber Galloway (right) and Dawn Brush.

State St. Fathers - leaders of the home As once again the third Sunday of June nears, we are reminded of the day set aside to honour Fathers. Sonora Dodd is the one given credit for the observance of Father’s Day on the third Sunday in June. Fathers have a great responsibility to their children as God, the Father, has commissioned them in his Word, The Bible, to teach their children the commandments of the Lord. “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6) Children learn from hearing, seeing and doing. As one little boy called out to his father as he tried to follow him through the snow “Daddy, don’t take such big steps, my legs are too short. As Fathers we must be careful that the steps we make are ones we would want our children to follow in. Are we setting a Christian example? Rev.

The keynote speaker was Dr. Darrell Pollard, assistant superintendent of Adrian Schools. Pollard told the graduates that “Your Cheryl Ames Carol Appelman. Susanna Barnhart Deborah Barton generation has a better education than any other generation before it.” However, he added that the most important thing is what the graduates plan to do with their education. Senior James Myers of Nashville gave the salutatorian’s address and Susan Fox of Vermontville delivered the valedictorian’s address. The Maple Valley Band played the traditional processional and recessional; Superintendent Carroll Wolff welcomed the gathering; the Rev. Paul Boger of the Vermontville Bible Church gave the in­ vocation and benediction; Principal Burr Hartenburg presented the class of 1980; and Board of Education members Virginia Fox and Wilbur Marsh handed out diplomas to this year’s crop of seniors. Class colors were burgundy and ivory and the class flower was a white rose. For its class motto, seniors had selected: “Every man holds bet­ ween his hands, A silence that he wants to fill, And so he fills it with his dreams.” Philip Bishop Russell Blakely Julie Barlow Christopher Beebe Debora Brand Kathy Christopher Bradley Coffman Corrine Cole LaVern Decker Gregory Dunkelberger Diane Embrich Karen Pager Marsha Fender �Donald Fox Sharon Fox Susan Fox Tim Gearhart Deborah Hall -Brian Hamilton Christine Hamilton Sandra Hulbert -David Hulsebos Deborah Hummel Dennis Jarrard Tony Joostberns Kristina Kelly Barbara Harris Katherine Hummel Janice Lightner Tammie Frank Kai Graham Susan Hickey Barbara Hummed Ray Franks Kellie Haas Raymond Hole Terrie Huston Donald Martin Cheryl McClure David McGinley Rod McMillon Congratulations from these participating merchants: Nashville C Store Nashville Auto & Farm Supply 416 N.

M fel J*. a r ntact ntaiciti EWMiilik Mr. »■ IMfeitti IB FULL FIELD - At last week’s.filing deadline for elective offices, candidates had filed in all of Michigan’s 110 State Representative districts. Ten present Representatives are not returning; 3 districts have no Democrat filed, 15 no Republican. COURT OPTION - Although the Legislature last month authorized the creation of nine new judgeships, the local governments involved approved only two new positions. This is because the local governments have to fund these new judgeships. BEER LIMIT - The House has approved HB 5801, under which Michigan residents returning from other states can bring with them only one case of beer and 11 bottles of wine. Several nearby states have beer, wine and liquor prices lower than ours. DRUNK DRIVING - Now in the Senate are HB 5040-43, which expand and clarify Michigan’s drunk driving laws. Snowmobiles and off-road vehicles would be covered; fines would be increased; warrantless arrests of suspected drunk drivers would be allowed; and there would be improvements in the testing procedures used to determine alcohol blood levels. STRIKE BILL? - The Senate will this week consider a fivebill package which would legalize strikes by public em­ ployees and would set up arbitration and mediation procedures to try to avoid strikes. Governor Milliken has vetoed similar legislation before and objects to these bills because they do not presently provide enough incentives to prevent or avoid strikes. STATE LOAN - Although by our Constitution we must have a balanced budget, the state can still take out short­ term loans during a fiscal year: the Treasury Department is getting ready to borrow $500 million for the 1980-81 year due to the state’s meager cash flow. This would be used mostly for school aid payments due on October 1, the first day of the next fiscal year. LIE DETECTOR - The House will soon vote on HB 5723, which would prohibit police from requiring rape victims to take a lie detector test. Proponents say present procedures violate rights and discourage assault reporting; opponents^ say the bill could hurt prosecutions. VISITATION RIGHTS - Both houses have now approved HB 4597, which specifically allows maternal and paternal grandparents to visit their grandchildren even after a child’s parents have separated, died and-or remarried. This is in response to a recent Court ofAppeals decision. PLATE ART - The Secretary of State has invited the public to submit suggestions for the design and color of new license plates which will be sold in 1983 and which will be on vehicles until 1988.

In league competition, they finished as co-champs with Portland. Both teams recorded six wins and two losses in the league. Carson City Crystal finished in third place with a five, win and three loss record. This year we had one in­ dividual record broken. The old stolen base record of nineteen, held by Jeff Mead, was broken by Mike Kelly with twenty-three. Kelly also led the team in runs scored, walks and team points. These four areas contributed to -his winning the Most Valuable Player award on the J.V. team. In the batting averagej department, Rick Elliston led the team all year and finished the season with a fine .405 average.

They insist on cramming subjects to the students before they are physically or emotionally ready to understand them. The School Administration wants twelve and thirteen year old children to decide now what they want to do for the rest of their lives, without - having the basic knowledge to preparing themselves for the future. The School Administration is trying to convince the School Board that it needs additional teaching staff in the Middle School to teach three or four subjects that are already being given in high school. I am sure that with enough citizen representation at the School Board meetings, we citizens could convince the Board to cut some of the fat from the school budget and get back to giving basic education in the lower grades and using the high school for what it was in­ tended to do. High school should be used to prepare the student for college and-or life in general. Let our children enjoy their childhood and stop forcing them to grow up before their time. Come to School Board meetings and a .293 average. Tony led the team with eight doubles and fifteen RBI’s on the season. In the pitching depart­ ment, Rick Roberts had the best record, four wins and one loss, and the best ERA, 3.13. Walt Maurer compiled a three win - four loss record and finished the season with a 3.53 ERA. Three of Walt’s losses were to Class B schools Lakewood, Hastings and Ionia. The Most Improved Player was choosenby the team this year. John Mater received the award. I felt the team made a very fine selection. I had a very enjoyable and rewarding season this year..

The purpose of the program is to encourage young people to exhibit their artistic skills and to solicit poster designs for the national 4-H poster cam­ paign program. To participate in the program, young people should design 14 by 22-inch posters in one of this year’s categories. These include: 4­ H Learning For A Lifetime, and 4-H - The Pathway To Leadership. There is also an open division which allows 4H’ers to create their own themes and artwork. Poster artists must submit their posters by August 15 to the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service office. Posters may be horizontal or vertical and may be executed in any medium, as long as they are not three­ dimensional. Use of copyrighted characters like those in “Peanuts” is prohibited. From entries received statewide, one poster will be selected to represent Michigan in the National 4-H Poster Program exhibit. At the national level, one design will be selected to serve as the National 4-H Poster for two years. This poster will be distributed nationwide. “The poster artprogram is an excellent chance for young people to exercise their artistic skills,” Diuble says. “Last year a Michigan 4-H’er won the national design contest and received nationwide recognition for her talents.” For more information about the 4-H Poster Art Program and copies of the program guidelines, contact Diuble at the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service office, or call 543­ 2310.

Chris Boughton, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Boughton of Nashville, graduated May 22 from Cranbrook Academy of Art at Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, with a Master of Fine Arts degree. A 1969 MVHS grad, Chris attended Michigan State University after high school and graduated from MSU in 1975. He now resides in Detroit. The Boughton’s daughter, Anne, a 1977 graduate of MVHS, recently returned home from Boone, North Carolina, where she had spent the past four months on a special study program at Appalachian State University. An Art Major at Western Michigan University, Anne was one of 19 Honors College students selected from throughout the USA earlier this year to study Appalachian culture at ASU. Anne received a special scholarship for the program, which en­ compassed study of the arts and crafts, music, religion and other cultural aspects of the residents of Appalachia. Since her return to Michigan, Anne has acquired a summer job with a Kalamazoo architectural firm. She will resume her studies at WMU in the fall.

She is the former Mabie Ostroth, and was born in the Barryville Road home where she and her husband have resided since their marriage on Jaunuary 14, 1920. We were privileged to meet this delightful couple last fall when Leslie assisted us with a “Memories” story on Nashville’s celebration of the armistice that ended the first World War. In an im­ promptu November 11, 1918 parade down Main Street, Leslie and his popular horse “Walter” attracted a great deal °f attention as they dragged an effigy of Kaiser Wilhelm II, Germany’s deposed monarch. A photo of Leslie astride his white steed lowing “Kaiser Bill” was featured in the “Memories” article. Next week will be a very special time for Mr. and Mrs. Adams. In addition to the anniversary celebration, Leslie will observe his 81st birthday on June 25. Rev.

Interesting comments on several recent “Memories” topics arrived in a letter last week from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin. The Memorial Day story brought back fairly recent memories to Meade, of the time he was asked to speak at the traditional post-parade observance at Lakeview Cemetery some thirty years ago. He spoke on the steps of the mausoleum. There was a microphone there, with speakers in the trees out in front where, the audience assembled. “When I spoke, there was an echo that came back to me from the space in the mausoleum behind me,” wrote Meqde. “Needless to say, when it first happens, you get a bit of a start.” Early recollections of the holiday were also noted by Meade. “When I was about 6 or 7, and Memorial Day was still Decoration Day, my grandmother (Hannah Blaisdell Robinson) used to take me along to help her clean up the family graves where my grandfather and her parents were buried,” he wrote. “I remember reading some of the verses inscribed on the stones.” Meade added that the annual Memorial Day observances still help to remind us of what our country means to us and the great sacrifices some people had to make so we can enjoy our freedoms and the good things the USA has given us. “I only hope we can keep them,” he concluded. Kenneth Meade found the Teddy Roosevelt stoiy in­ teresting, but has no per­ sonal recollection of T. R.’s 1911 visit to Nashville. He is certain he didn’t witness the event. “My dad was a staunch Republican,” he Worship................. 7 p.m.Prayer Meeting ... 7 p.m Rev.

He was southeast of Three Bridges in a horse and buggy the Sunday afternoon the cyclone hit. He was headed for the Ruby Bivens farm. “I was probably 1% miles north of where the twister went across,” he noted. “The wind was blowing fairly hard and I saw this black* funnel­ shaped cloud move across, but did not think much of it at the time.” When Meade got to the stretch of South Clark Road where the storm had crossed, he missed the house on the west side where the McCartney’s lived and saw debris spread out in the field on the east side of the road. When he arrived at the Bivens farm, he learned what had happened as trees had been uprooted and an outbuilding damaged there. “I remember a number of wild tales that were told about the twister afterwards,” he concluded. “Frankly, as I was driving toward it, I had no idea that I was that near to a tornado.” Needless to say, during and after writing the tornado story we heard countless tales of strange incidents surrounding •*d '• shkirt.i •“WWifij • if ibi'i ■Wmt*yn®bsai the storm.

Kalamo, Gresham and Sunfield have all been cited as the location, depending upon who is relating the tale. Even the total fatalities were fuzzy with some folks; the newspapers confirmed the tally of four. Then there’s the tale about the pigs in the washing machine. The count of animals ranges from one to three, but all sources seem to agree the machine was found in a ravine on the Belson property and the piglets were alive. One account of the storm that leaves a lasting impression is that of Iza Jarrard Decker of Nashville, who lived nearby but was only a small child at the time: “I remember the bodies lying on the floor of the Lee Gould house; they were covered with sheets.” Gould lost his barn but his house was spared and served as a haven for the injured, and temporary morgue for less fortunate neighbors. Three games were played last week in the East Division (Nashville area) of a local church softball league. Heritage Hills team No. 1 overwhelmed Ver­ montville Bible, 37-7; Nash­ ville Baptist Youth team outranked Ainger Bible, 328; and Nashville Baptist Oldtimers topped Nashville Nazarene, 30-10. Thanks to a young man by the name of Cody Mattson, the Putnam Public Library now has three early Nash­ ville scenes to add to their local history collection in the Michigan' Room. Cody presented the library with a trio of scenic post cards last week, depicting the old Nashville High School, the Lentz Table Company, and Waterworks (Putnam) Park. Contributions of such memorabilia are always welcome additions to the local history display. Mr. and MrS. Lloyd (Eunice) Priddy of Nashville entertained at a family dinner Friday evening in honor of her sister and family, Doris and Lynn Hazelton and son, Walter, who are visiting here from their home in Palm Bay, Florida. Present for the event were the Priddy’s children, Mrs. Dale Ann Morawski and family; Mrs. Deidra Sprinkle and family; and Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Priddy and family, all of Nashville. Other guests were La Duska and Nate Sheldon of Nashville and their children, Mr. and Mrs. Howard Casterline and family of Assyria; Mr. and Mrs. Gary Kimble and family of Morrison Lake; and Mr. and Mrs. Mark Edger of Hastings. Eunice, Doris and La Duska are sisters. Mrs. Vern (Fern) Staup of Nashville returned home last Thursday after a 4-weeks stay at Pennock Hospital. She had been confined due to spinal problems but is showing improvement now. The Nashville ambulance was called out about 12:30 last Tuesday afternoon to transport a victim of a lawn mower accident. Loyal Bennett was struck in the face and suffered severe lacerations when he reportedly lost a flywheel on a riding lawn mower at his home on East Coats Grove Road, northwest of Nash­ ville. He was transported first to Pennock Hospital for Bluegrass Festival Sunday at Charlton Park Sunday, June 22, folks will pack up friends and family and head to Charlton Park, near Hastings, where they have been invited to “Come out and breathe the fresh music” at the sixth annual Thornapple Bluegrass Music Festival. Starting at 11:30 a.m., bluegrass and old-time musicians from western Michigan will perform in the natural amphitheater of the park’s restored village of the late 1800’s, nestled on the banks of the Thornapple River. Pickin’ and singin’ on the six hour show will be the Sweet Corn String Band of treatment. Later, the Nashville ambulance transferred Bennett to Sparrow Hospital in Lansing where he was to undergo facial surgery. Softball tournaments will soon be filling local diamonds and will draw sizeable crowds, as usual, it is expected. Juhe 28-29 has been set as the date for the Eddy Purchis annual Memorial Tournament. After that, a regional Men and Women’s softball tourney is scheduled for the weekend of July 18, 19 and 20th. Last year, a similar event drew 40 some teams to the Maple Valley area for games on Nashville and Vermontville ball fields. Members of the local Senior Citizens Nutrition Site an excursion enjoyed Tuesday afternoon, June 3, for entertainment and visiting with residents at the Barry County Medical Care Facility. They enjoyed talking with many Nashville area folks who are confined there and were able to bring a little cheer to (several, including Mrs. s Bertha BeckeT, a Site member who is currently at BCMCF recovering from a fractured hip. Kalamazoo, the Williams Family, Horsefeather and Iowa Rose and riff raff from the Grand Rapids area, and Lost World String Band and Home Grown Grass of the Lansing area. “We always look forward to playing at Charlton Park,” comments Mark Sahlgren of Sweet Corn, a band that has performed every year at the festival. Sahlgren and other per­ formers agree that the setting for the event makes it one of the most enjoyable in the area. The festival had a unique beginning. It was conceived as a fundraiser for fur­ nishing Bristol Inn, a restored stagecoach inn located in the Historical Village, and to create a new Nashville church welcomes singing evangelist Nashville Assembly of God is happy to welcome Gary Thomson for Gospel Services Sunday, June 22, at 11:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. and Monday through Wednesday, June 23-25, at 7 p.m. nightly. This is the second visit for this singing evangelist who has thrilled thousands with his unique Holy Spiritannointed musical presentations. Wherever Gary sings and shares the Word, he always seeks to exalt Jesus Christ. People are thrilled and excited. Sprititual needs, as well as physical and emotional needs, are met through this unique ministry. Sagging spirits are revived; faith is quickened; discouragement and dissipated.

County park. “The response has been tremendous,” remarks Frank Walsh, park director. “The quality, attendance and enthusiasm have sur­ passed all of our expectations.” Three years ago, the festival, now managed by Tim King and Bob Johnston of Hastings, was expanded to two shows each summer. Folks attending generally bring a lawn chair or blanket to spread on the village green, pack a picnic lunch and relax in the summer sunshine as they listen to the music. Swimsuits are often handy to enjoy the nearby beach and recreation area, which includes nature trails, a boat launch and picnic areas. The music is based on traditional songs and pure, simple harmonies. Part of the appeal of bluegrass is its mountain flavor. Until recent times, many of the songs were never written down. They were learned by ear and by heart. The unique combination of bluegrass instruments — usually a banjo and bass, a mandolin, fiddle, guitar and dobro, which resembles the Hawaiian guitar — gives the music the ability to change from a lonesome ballad to a fast-moving, hard-driving song on the stomp of a foot.

It was in Novembeer that the Nashville Lodge No. 255, F. & A. M. was granted a dispensation to organize by S. C. Coffinbury, Grand Master of Michigan Masons. That was five years before the Nashville News was founded. Durkee, then 37, presided as Worshipful Master over/ the first regular com­ munication of the lodge, held November 25, 1868. Serving with him were: Charles Wickham, Senior Warden; Orrin Nichols, Junior Warden; D. C. Griffith, Treasurer; Dan Halbert, Secretary; Abel Shepard, Senior Deacon; Robert Gregg, Junior Deacon; and Myron Hester, Tyler. When the lodge received its charter on January 20, 1869, all the officers were unanimously re-elected and installed by Homer G. Barber, Worshipful Master of the Vermontville Lodge. The year after 19-year-old Orno Strong ground out his first issue of the Nashville News, the Masons became situated in quarters above George Truman’s Dry Goods store (present-day Kelley’s). > 'The Mirrors Image imimom iiuafieJ NIWAper Couples League being formed for Friday Evenings Starting...

Mr. Christensen had expressed concern over the quantity of building ditto materials presently available in relationship to the total instructional program. The Maple Valley Education Association filed a grievance regarding the evaluation system used regarding fifth grade teacher Irma Lawhead. This grievance wasn’t approved, which was the same action taken by building principal, Bill Christensen, and Superintendent Carroll Wolff. There was considerable discussion involving band director, Roy Johnson, along with band booster officers and the Board members in regards tothe Band Boosters purchasing a Wenger rollaway band shell to be used in the gymnasium at the time of concerts.

The total operational budget will be reviewed before any announcement regarding reductions in the present program. Superintendent Wolff presented a report from the Michigan Department of Education covering the transportation reimbursement report for the school year 1978-79. The state department will pay only a maximum of seventy-five percent of the allowable costs for -transporting students to and from school. No allowance is made for transporting students on any extra curricular or field trips. Because of a shortage of funds, the state paid only 90.7 percent of the seventy-five percent. This resulted in a loss of another $16,202.34. A deduction of $550.80 was made for disallowed miles. This represents areas where the bus goes in less than onehalff mile to pick up elementary students or less than one mile to pick up secondary students. A deduction of $3,673.46 was made for ineligible pupils living within the village limits who are riding the school bus. This represents elementary students considering that the secondary students living within the village limits and being transported to the Jr.Sr. High School are covered by the transportation reimbursement code. The cost per mile, based upon the state printout, showed a cost of $1.08 for the school year 1978-79. Total reimbursable expenses were $231,992.14 with the school district receiving reim­ bursement of $157,791.77. PEPSI and MOUNTAIN DEW 12 PACK CANS $299 ( Reg.

That’s because Leo shares the same birthday as his brother’s child, and vice versa — brother Larry and Leo’s child were born on the same day. When the infants of the two brothers were born, the families were surprised and happy over the coincidence of the sharing of birthdays Larry and his wife Theresa of Mud Lake, Belivue became the parents of a new son, John Jay on April 7 which is Leo’s birthday. “When we had John, we kept telling them (Leo and his wife) that they had to have their baby on Larry’s birthday, June 8,-” says Theresa.

June 18, 1980 — Page 10 Corn problem attributed to unusual weather Eaton County farmers are reporting to the Cooperative Extension Service yellow striping and stunted growth on field com According to Allen Krizek, County Extension director, it is not unusual for this symptom to occur, especially during a wet cloudy June like we have experienced. Such weather enhances the possibility for a zinc deficiency to occur. The deficiency symptoms will soon disappear as the soils dry out and warm up. Zinc deficiency in com appears as a yellow striping of the leaves. Areas of the leaf near the stalk may develop a general white-toyellow discoloration. In severe deficiency, the plants have shortened internodis and the lower leaves show a red streaking on the margins. Soil types associated with zinc deficience are usually neutral to alkaline in reaction. The more alkaline the soil has, the greater is the need for zinc. The deficiency is particularly noticeable on crops growing where calcareous subsoilsare exposed by land leveling or erosion, or where subsoil is mixed with topsoil such as after tilling. Krizek advises no action to be taken to remedy the zinc deficiency. Warmer and drier weather is all that is needed.

Mr. and Mrs. Douglas (Wilma) De Camp of Nashville lost their 10year-old grandson, Dennis Heise, when the youngster became trapped and suf­ focated in a large bin of shelled corn on his uncle’s farm, adjacent to the farm of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Arlen Heise of Martin Road. Mrs. Heise is the former Barbara De Camp and grew up in Nashville. With Dennis at the time of the accident was his cousin Mathew De Camp, son of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas A. De Camp of Hastings. Both boys had reportedly climbed inside the bin, but Mathew was able to escape the “quicksand” action of the corn when it started moving. Arlen Heise and his brother, Charles, were milking cows in a nearby barn at the time. Some 50 firemen, law of­ ficials and neighbors frantically shoveled corn for nearly an hour in what proved to be a futile attempt to save Dennis. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Pennock Hospital.Services were held last Friday at Woodland United Methodist Church where Dennis was an active member. This fall, Dennis would have been a fifth grader at Woodland’s elementary school. In ad­ dition to his parents and maternal grandparents, Dennis is survived by a sister, Rebecca Sue, and his paternal grandfather, Carl Heise, who lives in Florida. The heart of this community goes out to the family in their loss. Bill Bitgood of Nashville underwent exploratory surgery at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids last Wed­ nesday, and at this writing, was expected to undergo additional surgery this week for removal of a kidney. Please take time to cheer Bill with a card or letter. The address is: 1840 Wealthy S.E., Grand Rapids, 49056. Bouquets of sweet Williams, bachelor buttons and peonies in shades of lavender, blue and rose, brightened the dining tables last week at the Nashville Senior Citizens’ Nutrition­ Site in the Masonic temple.

Richard Page was thrown from his cycle when he apparently lost control of it on a curve and struck a traffic sign on M-79 at the western village limits. The Nashville am­ bulance squad transported Page to Pennock Hospital, then transferred him to Community in Battle Creek. When his cycle flipped end for end, Page was thrown into a roadside ditch. Ac­ cording to information received by ambulance personnel last week, the paralysis came about because of a bullet that has been lodged in Page’s spine since a gun mishap about two years ago. The impact Monday moved the bullet enough to. cause the paralysis, which is expected to be permanent. Page also sustained a broken arm and collarbone in the accident. Another cyclist was with Page at the time of the incident but was <not involved in the mishap. The Nashville ambulance was called out Wednesday night to a Women’s League softball game being played at Maple Valley High School.

He placed 11th in his age group. Also competing in the race was Gary Hamilton of Nashville, who finished 46th overall with a time of 39: 18. Quite remarkable, considering that it was Gary’s first race. Another finish of interest to local readers will be that of Larry Hawblitz, who placed 4th in his age group with a time of 38:27. He is a Nashville native, now of Battle Creek, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Vern Hawblitz of this village. Pastor Don Roscoe, Gary Hamilton and several other local runners will compete next in the 10,000-meter run set for June 28 at Bellevue, during that town’s Klown Daze- celebration. On the Fourth of July, there will also be several Nashville area runners participating in a 10,000-meter run at Middleville, and Pastor Roscoe and others also expect to enter> the upcoming 10-mile Lung-A-Thon from Hastings to Middleville. On the same note, Pastor Roscoe reminds local runners of Nashville’s Sept. 20th Harvest Run (10,000 meter) which he will co-chair with Tom Oleson in conjunction with our annual Harvest Festival.

Mr. and Mrs. Clarence (Margaret) Reid of Nash­ ville attended a Saturday evening graduation open house-in honor of Ann Cheeseman, held at the home of her parents, the John Cheesemans of rural Lacey. Father’s Day dinner guests at the Reid home were Darrel and Karen Reid and sons of Kalamo. Sunday afternoon callers at the Reid home were Dave and An­ netta Tredinnick and children of Hastings; Arden and Sue Reid and family, and Vaughn and Mona Reid and daughter, all of Nash­ ville. Several members of the Nashville Senior Citizens’ Nutrition Site attended the annual election of officers for the Community Action Center held at the CAC Building in Hastings last Tuesday evening.

Mrs. Timothy (Alice) Boucher of Nashville was in Monroe for three days last week to attend the annual Michigan Museum Association meeting held at the Holiday Inn. Other representatives to the conference from this area were Frank Walsh, director of Charlton Park and Museum; his assistant, Mary Ann Karmes; and Mrs. Jack (Esther) Walton, all of Hastings. James and Lori Sheldon of Ludington and her father, Candido Montoya of Albuquerque, New Mexico, were recent weekend guests of Mr. and Mrs. Nate (La Duska) Sheldon of Nashville.

Mr. and Mrs. Leonard (Veda) Shull of Nashville were in Bristol, Indiana, last Tuesday to visit her son and family, Mr. and Mrs. Ken­ dall Guy. Monday, the Shulls called on Mrs. Bill (Grace) Tarbet of Hastings. Village Clerk Suzy Cork­ well was caught totally off guard when over 30 friends and relatives shouted. “Surprise” on her June 15th birthday. In fact, Suzy was so stunned she reported seeing stars for a moment. The event was arranged by her mother, Mrs Gloria Johncock, and staged at the home of Don and Vivian Conner of Nashville. Several weeks of planning for the party were a well-kept secret. Saturday evening, Suzy’s husband, Larry, told her that he was taking her out to dinner at Hastings in honor of her birthday, .but en route he managed to stop by the Connor home on a ruse. Unsuspecting, Suzy entered the door of the Conner’s family room to be greeted by the shout of her friends who had been hiding inside. Cars of the party-goers had been parked at the nearby Baptist Church lot to avert suspicion. A carry-in dinner featuring an Italian menu and other goodies was featured. Since many of the attendants are members of the Monday Night Special bluegrass and gospel group, an evening of music followed. Present in addition to the Connors and their daughter Amanda were: Lowell and Joan McMillon and daughter, Kim; Steve and Joan Knight; Pastor and Mrs. Roger Claypool; “Mo” and Debby Morawski; Cathy and Rick Vessecchia; Paid and Jan Cooper and son Lloyd; Petie Latta; Larry Eberly; Kyle Christopher; Phil Densmore; Gloria Johncock and son Doug; all of Nashville; Dick and Shire Johncock of Hastings; Jennifer and Brandi Thorn­ ton of Assyria; Sharon Beach of Sunfield; Laurine Thompson of Battle Creek, who baked the birthday cake, and, of course, Suzy and Larry Corkwell and daughters, Lisa and Becky Sue.

Present in addition to son Doug of Nashville and the Larry Corkwell family were: Dick and Shire Johncock and sons, Chad and Jason, of Hastings and Tom and Janet Thornton and daughters, Jennifer and Brandi, of Assyria. Presenting a delightful vocal selection at the Nash­ ville Baptist Church in honor of Father’s Day, June 15, were three little local ladies: Becky Sue and Lisa Corkwell and Barbara Claypool. The trio was accompanied by Youth Pastor Roger Claypool on the guitar and Larry Corkwell on the mandolin. A ladies’ weight loss group, dubbing themselves “God’s No-Munch Bunch”, was formed recently at the Nashville Baptist Church. The organization promotes weight loss through diet and exercise and holds a weekly weigh-in meeting at 6:45 p.m. every Monday at the church. A winner is named each week at the clinic, and taking top honors last week with a weight loss of 6 lbs. was Mrs. Janice Mason of Nashville. The organization will also award a monthly title to the top “loser” at the end of June. Debbie Leighter of Williamston was a Saturday, June 14, visitor at the home of her grandmother, Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nash­ ville.

From the time the first GRVRR line from Grand Rapids to Jackson was completed through Nashville, the local mail was carried by rail.

Fifty to seventyfive years ago there were as many as four trains each way daily, and they were loaded. Nashville residents planning to spend Sunday at Thornapple Lake would go by train; anyone making a business trip to Battle Creek would be likely to go by train, even though it meant transferring at Charlotte or Jackson.

The item was newsworthy in a community whose very existence was tied to the railroad. The village had, in fact, been named for a railroad man. Garaudus Nash, chief engineer of the Grand River Valley Railroad, promised in 1865 to survey the village in return of the honor. However, due to conflicting interests, only one side of the bargain was kept. But a decision early that summer to build GRVRR lines through this section had a positive effect on the fledgling settlement. Real estate values began to jump, and by the time the first train of cars arrived in Nashville on December 29, 1868, 'the village boasted several hundred inhabitants. “The GRVRR company was made up largely of people living along the line between Jackson and Grand Rapids,” wrote the late William N.

As many as four trains stopped daily, and each brought something of interest. Passenger trains broadened horizons for local residents. Visitors found accommodations convenient to depot: Commercial Hotel (white 2-story at left), Taylor's Livery (out of view aHeft); and Wolcott House and Scheldt's Livery on Main, a block from Railroad Street. A 1906 water tower dominates scene of Michigan Central's early depot, later freight station, in Nashville. The first train rolled into town in 1869 on lines built by Grand River Valley RR. Soon it became Michigan Central; later, New York Central. In its heyday, the Nashville station employed a ticket agent, a baggage­ man and freight agent, and two telegraph operators. Trains were the lifeblood of Nashville; a dual blessing for farmers who sold wood to power the steam locomotives. (Photos loaned, courtesy Mr. & Mrs. Lorin Garlinger) and scenery ... Those were lush days for the railroads. “The local station handled more freight in a week than it has in the last year. Only competition was the horse, and no one dreamed that there would come a time when truck lines would take over the bulk of the business.” Certainly least likely to be dreaming of such an event were 1902 News readers, who learned in October of a new railroad acqusition. “The Grand Rapids division of MCRR is getting real swell,” observed the News. “Wednesday a magnificent new coach, which cost $10,000, was added to the equipment. The car, scheduled to leave Grand Rapids at noon, would pass through Nashville at 1:13 and again on the return trip at 8:44 p.m. “The car is' vestibuled, finished throughout in mahagony with blue plus upholstery, carries double the usual number of gas tanks, can be brilliantly illuminated, and its kitchen is of extra size and con­ venience,” noted noted the reporter. “Twelve people can be served at once in the cafe.” Two years later, MCRR issued an order forbidding the transportation of passengers on all freight trains in this division. “Some aristocrat kicked because he wasn’t landed right at the station,” com­ mented the News, in an­ nouncing the new restriction.

Iffl, tttpractically ■Mil te pressed itiij row eyesore.” In February 1906, MCRR broke ground near the depot to build a new and much larger water tank than the 1875 predecessor. In an oldtime remembrance written by local native Leo Herrick, then of Detroit, and published in 1961 in the Nashville News, the author comments on the appearance of the depot and well-kept grounds with which Nashville was blessed and allowed that it might be attributed to the fact that local hardware merchant C. L. Glasgow was also Com­ missioner of Railroads for the State of Michigan. (Actually, Glasgow, a for­ mer state senator, was not appointed Commissioner until 1907, some three years after the depot was built but he may have had some control over its upkeep. He held the railroad post until the office was abolished in 1919). In his account, Herrick provides a vivid description of early rail travel. “The passenger trains in those days were comprised en­ tirely of wooden cars with open platforms on each end. Passengers were not allowed to pass from one car to another while the train was in motion. Even the con­ ductor had to hang on to his cap, and when the wind was blowing just right he might get sprayed with smoke and cinders down the neck. Occasionally someone had a ticket, but usually the fare was paid on the train. At many of the local stops there were no agents to purchase tickets from, anyway. The fare was exactly two cents a mile, and no tax of any kind added on, sipWiir JilBUlWli ddjt'tndto tHietylftii put "HuHni fflmEBE.il setmil®tai pnpiiiijtaS tab.'s' inert11*1 Many Wedding Plans to choose from...

So, anyone could very easily determine just what his fare would be by knowing the exact miles between the stations. Morgan, Thon nappie Lake and Quimby were all local stops.” Herrick recalled the crowded trains that carried Nashville folks to special doings at the lake or to the Barry County Fair at Hastings. Farm families would flock to town, leave horses and rigs at a local livery stable, and board the train. “If the railroad had a forewarning of extra passengers on a certain day, they would add extra cars to take care of the overflow crowd,” he'noted. Of course, trains carried folks into Nashville as welll as out, and in some cases lack of fare changed their destination as the News reported in a Sept. 1881 in­cident: “A family of seven from Richland County, Ohio, were put off the train on Wednesday because they had no money to pay their way further. Village President (Elihu) Chipman authorized the Marshal to pay their fares to Grand Rapids at the township’s expense, and generous aid in money and eatables was extended by several citizens. The man was evidently a bummer, but the woman was in every way worthy of aid.” Family planning clinic planned Information, counseling, supplies, pap smears, pregnancy, testing, infertility counseling and referral offered at the BarryEaton District Health Department Family Plan­ ning Program.

Booklet tells where you pick-your-own fruits and vegetables — and save Unfortunately, inflation has hit everyone's pocket­ book, especially in the check­ out line at the grocery store. But one way in Michigan to reduce your grocery bills is to pick your own fresh fruits and vegetables or buy them from roadside stands located across the state. State Senator Dick Allen (R-Ithaca) can help you locate the pick-your-own farm or roadside market closest to your home by providing you with a copy of the 1980 edition of “Country Carousel”. The booklet is a free guide to pick-your-own farms and roadside markets throughout the state published by the Michigan Department of Agriculture (MDA). “Fresh fruits and vegetables homegrown in Michigan purchased at roadside stands or picked by your own families are not only beneficial nutritionally, but economically too,” commented Allen. The directory lists approximately 900 farms and markets in alphabetical order by county. Listings include the name of the farm or market, directions for getting there, the produce available, and a telephone number to call for in­ formation on product availability. Also included in the directory is a map of the state by county and a list of Michigan’s crop calendar indicating the approximate opening dates for ap- tEMlil) M meeting place at 8:30 to catch a ride.

Wednesday, June 25. 1980 — Page 8 Vermontville’s antique fire engine wins first place trophy at Marshall Mini Muster Vermontville’s vintage 1913 Waterous Gasoline Fire Engine captured the spotlight by winning a gleaming first place trophy when local fire department volunteers entered the an­ tique in the Fourth Annual Mini Muster recently in Marshall. The fire engine captured the top trophy in the Water Antique Rotary division of the contest. It’s an award in which the entire community can take pride, and the men — Bob Fickes, Monte O’Dell, Dennis Dies, John Penix, and Rod Martin — who traveled to Marshall to enter the engine are certainly proud of the honor. The village of Ver­ montville has owned the engine since it was new, commented Penix. An early 1900’(s sales promotion about the engine proclaimed “its durability and efficiency unquestionable.” That statement has been proven to be true by withstanding the test of time. The engine Vermontville's 1913 Waterous Gasoline Fire Engine-captured first place honors on display at the recent Mini Muster in Marshall. (Maple Valley News photos by Virginia Alles) was still used from time to time in the last decade. “Everything on it is original,” says Penix. The engine is four cylinder with a 48 horsepower motor and fitted for hand and horse draft. The old advertising material touted that the engine’s “advantages over the old time hand fire engine, the chemical engine, and the steam fire engine are ob­ vious.

In a world filled with chaos and uncertainty, it’s hard to imagine how you can change things for the better. But you can make a difference — by becoming a Host Family through Youth for Un­ derstanding’s (YFU) in­ ternational student exchange program. Approximately 700 YFU exchange students will arrive in Michigan this summer, all of whom are eager to learn firsthand by participating in the homestay program. Host families share their homes and daily lives with international high school students for six-months or a full year while the student attends the local high school. This unique homestay experince enables in­ ternationall exchange students to get to know real American families by sharing in daily life as a family member, not as a guest. Families and students in your community also have the opportunity to increase their personal awareness while gathering a greater understanding of world cultures. YFU, a non-profit organization, has arranged exchanges for more than 70,000 students from 24 countries since its inception in 1951. Students aged 14-18 are carefully selected and matched with quality host families, and regional representatives provide services, support and guidance during the course of the exchange. Host families provide room and board and are eligible for a monthly deduction while the student attends school. Program fees and personal expenses are provided by the student’s natural family and YFU receives partial funding from the Engagements —Mr. and Mrs. Robert (Gail) Wallace of Hastings are pleased to announce the engagement ofher daughter, Tammy Lynn Goodenough to Jack P.

Should motorcyclists wear helmets? The answer to both questions is obviously yes, isn’t it? Babies carried loose in cars become lethal projectiles in even low speed crashes. Some are killedjust because the driver slams on the brakes. A motorcyclist is uniquely exposed and head injuries are a major cause of fatalities. But the question here in Lansing is not just .should these devices be used. It is should they be required to be used by law. And here our national tradition ofpersonal freedom comes into play. Canada requires the wearing of seat belts, Sweden has much stricter laws gover­ ning drinking and driving. Many countries outlaw gun ownership completely. Here we allow some personal freedom (drinking alcohol) that endanger others. And we allow a broad range of freedoms in which you endanger yourself. Can you imagine us outlawing A weekly report from: Nyle Wells joins 4-H youth Senator Richard Allen in Washington Focus program cigarettes? But once in a while, we pick out special groups and impose some restrictions for their own safety. Certainly, the case for children can be a strong one. After all they can’t protect themselves. Motorcyclists make a strong case that the helmet law simply singles out a group for special prejudicial treatment. After all, they say, if you really want to save lives with helmets have automobile drivers wear them too. More automobile passengers die of head in­ juries than motorcyclists. Can you imagine the outrage if we tried to include people in cars in the man­ datory helmet law? The bride in her white gown and helmet riding to church? I have no objection to imposing safety standards on manufacturers. However, on individuals it is tough. Where do we draw the line? Insurance companies, in my opinion, should take a more activist role. If air bags are beneficial shouldn’t that reduce rates? One in­ surance company came to the hearing on child restraint devices and said they fur­ nished them free of charge on notification that a sub­ scriber had a baby. Other insurance .companies showed up and simply testified that they would like these devices made man­ datory by law. By Nancy Diuble, Ext. 4-H Youth Agent Nyle Wells, a 15-year-old 4­ H Club member from Ver­ montville, is representing Eaton County at the 1980 Citizenship - Washington Focus program. Nyle is joining thirty-four Michigan 4-H’ers from six other counties, as they spend June 21-28 in Washington, D.C. The 4-H’ers are staying at the National 4-H Center and using the nation’s Capitol for. a classroom. They will be involved in mock legislative processes with other 4-H youth from throughout the nation and will discuss and debate issues with representatives of national agencies and organizations.

After returning from Washington, Nyle will be available to give presen­ tations on the 4-H Citizenship Washington Focus program.

With the recent rains, farmers have taken the opportunity to get off the tractor and look at some of the crops. To much surprise, they are finding distorted wheat heads and leaves.

According to conditions and nothing that Krizek, if there is a decrease Ph. 945-9926 With completion of com planting, growers should be alert for the appearance of annual weeds escaping the weed control program. Perennial weed infestations should 'also be monitored. Best control of these weeds, without crop damage, will only be achieved by treat­ ment at the proper growth stages. According to Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director, postemergent control of annual broadleaves can be obtained with applications of 2,4-D amine, cyanazine, or atrazine plus crop oil. Cyanazine or atrazine plus crop oil will also provide control of some annual grass species. Dicamba should be reserved for control of the more difficult annual broadleaf species such as velvetleaf, jimsonweed, wild buckwheat, arid smartweed. Care must be taken to avoid dicamba drift to sensitive crops. Quackgrass control postemergence relies on atrazine plus oil applied when the quackgrass is 34 inches high. Control can be increased by cultivation 10 to 14 days after the herbicide application. Nutsedge and Canada Thistle can both be con­ trolled with split applications of either basagran plus crop oil or atrazine plus crop oil. Milkweed and bindweed suppression, not control, can be achieved with applications of dicamba. Glyphosate (Roundup), used as a spot treatment, is a worthwhile alternative to consider with limited perennial infestations. Although the crop will be killed, containment and eradication of the perennial weed is possible. However, a maximum of 10 percent of the field area can be treated. Consult Extension Bulletin E-434 and the appropriate weed control labels for further information con­ cerning herbicide rates and time of application. Local residents receive degrees from W.M.U.

A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative SENIOR LEASES - The House will soon vote on HB 5227 and 5580, which would enable senior citizens living in apartments being converted to condominiums to get a lifetime lease, and-or to get low-interest state loans to buy their apartment. APPOINTEE TERMS - The Attorney General has ruled that the Legislature has the power to set limits on the terms of persons appointed to fill vacancies on state-university governing boards. Presently, appointees can serve up to eight years. FILING DEADLINE - June 30 is the filing deadline for Annual Campaign Statements for all state and local elected officials, candidates, and committees supporting can­ didates. The period covered is June 21, 1979, through June 20, 1980. WELFARE SPENDING - The House has barely approved HB 5781 providing a $16 million supplemental appropriation for Social Services, at the same time including a cutoff of Medicaid funding for elective abortions. Earlier the House passed HB 5701 which provides that welfare recipients who refuse work can be cut off from benefits for up to three months. I was glad to support this legislation because it is the first welfare reform bill passed in a decade. BUDGET CUTS - The Governor has ordered more cuts in the proposed 1980-81 budget, including $105 million from various state departments and $100 million from “local units” which includes K-12 school aid, revenue sharing and a proposed distressed-cities program. The exact amount of school aid cuts will be announced soon so that local districts may plan their budgets. MANDATORY SENTENCES - The House will soon vote on HB 5881-2, which set mandatory minimum sentences and sentencing guidelines for violent crimes; if enacted, they will take effect next January. The bills cover murder, kidnapping and criminal sexual conduct; the proposed guidelines will help prevent wide discrepancies in the sentencing of people for the same offense. DECIMAL EQUALIZATION - Governor Milliken has signed into law SB 1115, which requires that the property tax equalization factor be carried to at least the fourth decimal place; formerly, factors could be carried to just two places, which had the effect ofraising the taxes paid. SPRING CLEANING - Both houses have now approved SB 978, which repeals 47 antiquated or out-dated laws, including one covering cove g a 1933 tax x coeco collection eegecy; emergency; oe one to o stimulate post-World-War-II employment; and one giving local officials powers to fight prairie fires.

July 2, 1980 In the wake of millage defeat — MV school board drops $326,949 frombudget In the wake of the recent defeat by district voters of a proposed three-mill tax increase for operations compounded with a reduction in State aid, the Maple Valley Board of Education has approved program reductions of 9326,949.49 for the 1980-81 school year. The cuts sweep through every phase of the school’s operation from elementary through secondary levels including education, transportation, and extra curricular activities. The program reductions were approved at a special board meeting, June 23. School board members Robert Dormer and Russell Geary voted against ap­ proving the reductions. School officials say that besides the millage defeat, the reductions were necessary because the Governor issued an executive order reducing the school district’s August state aid payment by $26,302.25. Also', anticipated state aid dollars to Maple Valley Schools during the 1980-81 school year will be much less than previously estimated because of the declining economy. The board defeated a motion to schedule another millage election. Board members Virginia Fox and Wilbur Marsh were the only ones voting in favor of presenting another millage proposal to voters. Reductions approved by the board, totaling $326,849.49, for the coming school year include $64,597 at the elementary level; $64,100 in the Junior-Senior High School; $16,189 of extra curricular activities; $9,037 in retirement and insurance benefits; $6,600 in equipment and supplies; $16,176 in special education; $9,350 in the health program; $570 in library expenses; $1,000 in audio visual; $4,500 in school plant planning (lots for the building trades program); $29,973 in the proposed general administration budget; $1,249 in board of education expenses; $25,628 in operation of plant; and $77,880.49 in transportation. Some oE the teachers af­ fected by elimination of a certain program have the opportunity to be transferred to other positions under the master contract seniority list, school officials noted. Also, they said, salary amounts related to teaching positions may vary somewhat upon completion of negotiations with the teachers. Itemized reductions at the elementary level include the elimination of the art teacher at a salary of $13,770; physical education teacher, $13,770; counsellor, $16,651; teacher aide at Kellogg, $4,375; teacher aide at Maplewood, $4,250; savings in retirement benefits, $2,626; insurance benefits, $6,255; and new furniture and equipment, $1,600; replacement fur­ niture and equipment, $1,300. At the Junior-Senior High level cuts include the elimination of a social studies-physical education teacher at a savings of $11,872; spanish-reading teacher, 11,872; elimination of the in-school suspension room, 13,106; part time business education, 10,653; vocal music (elementary and jr.-sr. high), 11,872; library aide, 4,725. Expenses for extra curricular activities that have been erased from the budget are fifth and sixth grade basketball for both boys and girls, $1,587; seventh grade basketball for boys and girls, 1,330; eighth grade basketball for boys and girls, 1,259; seventh and eighth grade wresting, 471; seventh and eighth grade track, 665; ninth grade basketball, 735; second assistant coach for junior varsity football, 714; golf, 852; tennis for boys and girsl, Book sale planned Saturday Joy Peake, left, and Darlene Scramlin sort books at Putnam Public Library in preparation for a book sale to be conducted by the Friends of the Library on the lawn of the library from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, July 5. The event will coincide with ith Sidewalk Sale Days and other holiday weekend activities in the village. Among volumes offered for sale will be duplicate and outdated volumes, with proceeds to benefit the library. Darlene is chairperson of the event; Joy is president of the local FOL.

Reductions in equipment and supplies also includes $2,825 (new) and 775 (replacement); athletic department supplies, 2,500; and band program supplies, 500. For special education, the elimination of a learning disabilities (L.D.) consultant including retirement and insurance benefits amounts to $16,176. Reduction in the health program involves $9,350 for the school nurse and related costs. Library cuts include $570 for professional library, conferences, and travel. A cut of $26,875 was made in general administration by omitting the proposed position of an adminis trative asistant and related ex­ penses which were included in the proposed budget. Also reduced were $3,098 in in­ surance and retirement benefits for that category. Reduction of expenses for the Maple Valley Board of Education was the elimination of the $1,249 membership fee for the Michigan Association of School boards. Reduced expenditures in operation of the plant include wiping out $14,000 of capital outlay for new and replacement items and employing only a “half­ time” custodian at Kellogg Elementary School and a day man to cover both Fuller St. and Kellogg for a savings of $5,150 in salary; and $965 in retirement and insurance benefits. A reduction of salaries through retirement amounts to 5,250 and retirement, 263. Transportation cuts in­ volve $2,100.01 by reducing extra trips and field trips and thus saving driver salaries and gasoline; $1,580.48 for athletic trips (driver salaries and gasoline); and $74,200 by not replacing three school busses. In other business, at the board’s special meeting, members accepted a letter of resignation from Theresa Hull as school nurse. She has taken a position as a school nurse with the Eaton In­ termediate School District. The board also accepted a letter of resignation, ef­ fective in June of this year; from Irma Lawhead, fifth grade teacher at Maplewood Elementary School. She plans to retire.

Wayne made the comment in a letter received last week. His family lived south of Nashville, near the Wilcox neighborhood where the killer tornado struck. He continued: “My mother had been watching it through the kitchen window and looking to the west. It was late on a Sunday afternoon and eventually I wandered out into the kitchen where she was. Taking one look I cried “cloudburst”. At the age of eleven years, that was my idea of such a thing, the clouds bending down and the water running. She (mother) told me it was a tornado. Very shortly, the wind got pretty violent and the three of us went to the basement. My dad had a difficult time opening the door due to the suction through the house. Things became very quiet shortly after we made the basement. We came upstairs and found the windmill flat on the ground.” The Fullers were considerably more fortunate than their neighbors living near the Wilcox Cemetery on Cloverdale Road. Three lives were claimed there that day, another lost four days later, and thousands of dollars of property damage done. iJSw^ Jfc^. fc.

Normally a cow will go into the same stanchion each milking time and be fastened in. That day, they would not do this. They just milled around in the stable until the danger was past.” Thanks to Wayne for sharing his memories of the storm with us. George Frith of Nashville is in Borgess Hospital at Kalamazoo, where he is undergoing kidney dialysis. He entered the hospital on June 23 and expects to remain from one to three weeks while his system becomes regulated to the machine. After that, he will continue to make thriceweekly trips to Borgess for treatment until dialysis equipment is installed in his home. Recent weekend visitors of Clarence and Margaret Reid of Nashville were their son Darwin, his wife Norma, and children Darwin Allen and Betsy of Cadillac. Saturday evening, the visitors accompanied the Clarence Reids to an outing at the Cornwell Turkey Farm near Marshall with the Nashville senior citizen’s group. Sunday, June 22, was a big day for the Clarence Reids, as they helped host an open house in honor of the 60th wedding anniversary of Margaret’s parents, Vere and Olive Robinson of Bellevue. The event was held at the Bellevue United Methodist Church. Also helping to host the party were Margaret’s sisters and their husbands: Marjorie and Harold Schaperkotter of Grand Rapids; Alice and Kenneth Vosburg of Lexington, Kentucky; and Jean and Walter Endsley of Hastings. The children took their parents out for dinner in Bellevue prior to the af­ ternoon open house, which was attended by over 200 guests. Later, the family returned to the Robinson home for an evening lunch. Also present were Vere Robinson’s twin sister, Velda, and her husband Calvin Lowe, and another sister, Mrs. Helen Tanner, all of Charlotte. Mr. and Mrs. Austin Schantz of Nashville were recent Sunday callers on Mr. and Mrs. Howard Jones of Battle Creek.

Monday, Mrs. Pen­ nock was in Battle Creek to meet her daughter, Mrs. John (Lois) Lane, for an open-air lunch on the Michigan Mall. Friday visitors at the Pennock home were daughter Mrs. Leigh Haroffandherson, Aaron, of Kalamazoo and friend, Diane Fuelling of Bluffton, Indiana. There were over­ night guests. Thursday visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Leonard (Veda) Shull of Nashville were her son and family. Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Guy and children of Augusta. Tuesday, the Shulls were in Hastings to call on Mrs. Eva Skidmore. Friday guests of Mr. and Mrs. Vern (Fern) Hawblitz of Nashville were her sister and brother-in-law, Bernice and Erwin Bruce of Battle Creek. A letter received last week from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin, commented on the recent Memories article on the Masonic Temple and the history of the different rooms in which the Lodge has met over its 112 years of existence in Nashville. “I took my work in the summer of 1926 when the lodge still met on the second floor of the McLaughlin building,” wrote Meade. ‘‘I was teaching in Kalamazoo when the new temple was dedicated in the spring of 1928 and came over with one of my fellow teachers, Ora Andrus, who was also a Mason, to attend the ceremonies and dinner.” According to a Nashville News account of the March 22, 1928 event, it was the “largest gathering ever assembled in Nashville aside from our harvest festivals and like festivities.” During the evening, 410 were served at banquet tables in the new temple. Several guests, unable to come in time for the 6 o’clock dinner, arrived later in the evening. Since the new dining hall had a seating capacity of only about 225, guests were served in two shifts at “beautifully decorated tables, bounteously laden with good and appetizing viands.” . The News published the complete menu, featuring baked ham and parsley potatoes along with traditional trimmings. By 8:30 the last of the hungry guests had been served “to their heart’s contentment and all repaired to upper rooms to witness, for the first time by a large majority, the solemn and impressive ceremonies of dedication of Nashville’s fine new Masonic temple.” Prior to the dinner, the lodge had been opened in due form by regular officers of the Nash­ ville lodge, previous to ad­ mitting guests.

Ernest Barker closed his Charlotte bakery in 1905, moved his operation to Nashville, where he remained until his death in 1924. He also engaged in the elevator and furniture business here..

The car of the Goddess of Liberty, containing 38 pretty ladies, representing the 38 states of the Union, was a sight to behold. The line of march was joined by another 150 teams and the procession proceeded to the grove, where the speeches and entertainment were given.

(Author’s note: At .this time last year, we presented a story that traced Nash­ ville’s early observances of the Fourth of July. Local celebration of the holiday predates publication of the Nashville News, which made its debut on October 3, 1873. Since that founding issue, 105 Independence Days have come and gone, and the News has duly recorded Nashville’s festivities (or lack of) on the patriotic anniversary of our nation. Perhaps none was so glorious as the Centennial Fourth, when the village commemorated the 100th birthday of America. All early celebrations after the' Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence on July 4,1776, that the Fourth “ought to be solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires, and illuminations from one end of the continent to the other, from this time for­ ward for evermore.” Nashville generally did its part to mark the holiday in a traditional manner, based on Adam’s advice. Here, for the pleasure of present-day Maple Valley News readers, we present several capsulized versions of Fourth of July accounts, as recorded by the Nashville News for readers of an earlier day.)

There were no casualties, although there might easily have been serious damage done by a sky rocket which went wrong.

PAID FOR BY THE NASHVILLE CHAMBER AND PARTICIPATING MERCHANTS �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, July 2. 1980— Poge 8 Children's Story Hour starts next week in Nashville by Susan Hinckley A slat depicting the life of Charles and Agnes Putnam will be the highlight of a funfilled Children’s Story Hour, which gets underway at Putnam Public Library next Tuesday and continues throughout July. The summer story hour perpetuates a tradition that was institued at the library shortly after the facility first opened in 1923 in a home bequeathed for that purpose by the Putnams. Stories, movies, crafts and a picnic are on the agenda in addition to the skit which is to be written and staged by the 5th and 6th graders at- tending the Story Hour sessions. Classes for the programs planned in conjunction with Story Hour will be divided by age group. Youngsters from 4 years old through 1st grade will be treated to a theme based on Mickey Mouse. The “me” concept, stressing self-awareness and self­ confidence, will be the theme of programs geared for children from 2nd through 4th grade. Under the direction of Nashville’s Friends of the Library organization, the Children’s Story Hour is open to all children age 4 and up. Any child under four must be accompanied by parent or legal guardian. The sessions run from 10 a.m. until 12. noon each Tuesday of July, starting on the 8th A picnic in Putnam Park will conclude the final July 29th session. It is expected that the costumed skit portraying the Putnam family will be presented at the library earlier that day. Anyone desiring additional details on the Children’s Story Hour may contact Joy Peake, presdient of the local FOL.

Hart­ man, environmental sanitarian with the Resource Recovery Division of the Michigan Dept, of Natural Resources, in a letter to Leon Frith, head of Nashville’s Dept, of Public Works. “Along with the transfer facility a small scale recycling program for white goods, paper and glass could be established,” Hartman added. His letter said that in order for the DNR to issue a license to Nashville to continue operation of the present municipal landfill facility, facility, itit would be necessary for the village to agree to perform a complete hydrogeological survey and establish a groundwater monitoring system for the site, located on E. Casgrove Street near Nashville’s southeastern boundary. After an on-site meeting last month between Hart­ man and Frith, it was determined that the cost of the state requirements would be substantial and not feasible at this time. Hartman also pointed out in his letter that the minimum bond for a solid waste transfer station is $4,000 as opposed to $20,000 for a landfill. In addition, it is not necessary with the new a facility to submit restrictive deed, an instrument which places a 15year covenant on sale or Former Nashville resident dies in Florida David Perry, 40, a former Charlotte and Mrs. Joe Nashville resident, died June (Kathryn) Mix of Hastings, - 18 in an auto accident at in addition to a sister and Jacksonville, Florida, where half-brother in Hastings and he had resided the past 10 a brother in Sunfield.

Landfills are very, very very ' rsy risky businesses for municipalities to be in.” Dulaney was present to offer her help in seeking potential grant funding for a portion of Nashville’s proposed conversion project. The Nashville council had no concrete estimates Thursday on cost of construction of the transfer station and resource recovery facility, which is expected to include a concrete ramp, a 42-yard steel dumpster biox, and a small metal building to houses materials collected for recycling, fencing of the site may also be needed in ad­ dition to a new drive through the site. Dulaney suggested that Nashville and the townships of Castleton and Maple Grove join together in establishment of the new facility, as the townships may also face closure of their present landfill located on Morgan Road, west of Nashville. “It would be cheaper in the long run for the municipalities as well as the citizens (who used the landfill), if you all go in together,” said Dulaney. She said after consulting recently with the proposed dumpster hauler and various county officials, it was determined that the Nash­ ville site would be better for the conversion project because of its more con­ venient location. “It would serve the most people with the least amount of driving,” said Dulaney. The council moved unanimously to move toward development of a transfer station and resource recovery site in cooperation with the two townships, and also authorized Dulaney to secure cost figures for the conversion and seek potential funding. She suggested Thursday that a portion of a $405,000 HUD Community Block Grant already designated for various projects in the greater Nashville area might be re-allocated for the proposed landfill conversion project. In other business Thur­ sday, the council heard Brifce Kuffer, regional consultant with Williams & Works, engineers on Nashville’s proposed $4.8 million sewer expansion project, explain the bid opening process which is set for 1:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 2, at the Community Center building in Putnam Park. “There is lots of en e ­ thusiasm for the Nashville project,” said Kuffer.. He said contractor response has been good to bid advertising published in trade journals. Using approximate figures, Kuffer said 47 contractors have taken out plans and specs on the collection system portion of the project; 42, on the lift stations; and 55, on the treatment facility. Kuffer expects con­ struction to start sometime in August after “apparent low bids” are reviewed by his firm and various government agencies responsible for ad­ ministering the more than 80 percent federal and state grants approved for the Nashville project. The council agreed to check with the village at­ torney on the legality of a 1911 village ordinance controlling “hawkers and peddlers” in Nashville. The council said they would seek a review and update after hearing Ahmo Jordan, owner of Country Corners CARD OF THANKS I want to thank all my Relatives and friends for the many trips to the hospital and the four weeks that I was there and the cards, flowers and plants.

State Representative, SATURDAY REGISTRATION - Governor Milliken has signed into law SB 1111, which eliminates the requirement that local election clerks keep their offices open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on the Saturday preceding the close of registration for an election. TAX HOLIDAY? - The House may soon consider HB 5877, which would reduce the state sales tax on American-made cars for a 30-day period starting in the near future, in order to stimulate sales of new cars and improve employment in the auto industry. OPEN MEETINGS - The Attorney General has ruled that the 18-hour minimum notice required for special meetings of public bodies is not met if the public has no access to the notice for any of the 18 hours, as with Friday-afternoon posting for Monday. WELFARE FRAUDS - The Attorney General has charged 31 people with receiving nearly $320,000 in welfare benefits to which they were not entitled, either because they had a job or had multiple benefits. Meanwhile the House has approved HB 5783, which would cut off ADC benefits to students 18 to 21 years old, who are now the only ones of that age group who can receive ADC. I supported this long overdue reform. OBSCENITY UPDATE - The House will soon vote on HB 5242, which would outlaw the distribution of sexuallyoriented materials that exceed the “customary limits of candor and decency” in Michigan. This replaces and ex­ pands upon the Michigan Supreme Court’s 1979 obscenity standard, which in turn replaced a prior law which the Court found unconstitutional. AGE LIMITS - The Michigan Supreme Court has essentailly upheld a provision in our state constitution which prohibits any person older than 70 from being elected or appointed to a judgeship. A 71-year-old judge had callenged it. Also, SB 766 is now law; it allows discrimination based on age in order to provide housing for senior citizens. NO TURFING -The Governor has signed into law HB 5437, which outlaws the “turfing” fad of driving onto land of farms, schools and private homes and purposely destroying grass, trees, shrubs, plants or crops with the vehicle being driven.

July 9,1980 Nashville sewer bids appear lower than estimated by Susan Hinckley The nation’s current economic slump may have had a beneficial effect on Nashville’s proposed $4.8 million sewer expansion program. When bids on the project were opened in formal proceedings in the village Wednesday, apparent low bids on two contracts of the 3-phase construction came in “substantially lower than estimated,” according to Bruce Kuffer, regional consultant with Williams & Works of Grand Rapids, engineers on the Nashville project. At Nashville’s June 26 council meeting, Kuffer had told village officials that there was “lots of en­ thusiasm for the Nashville project” and good contractor response to bid advertising that had been published in trade journals. Village officials and representatives of Williams & Works participated in the bid opening which commen­ ced at 1:30 p.m. at the Com­ munity Center building in Putnam Park. There were 19 bids received on Contract No. 1, for construction of the wastewater collection system. Apparent low bidder on that was Kamphuis Excavators of Grand Rapids, with a bid of $1,082,070. Engineers had estimated that portion of the project would cost $1.5 million. On Contract No. 2, for construction of lift stations, Michigan Electric, Inc., of Ravena was the apparent low bidder at $164,860. There were 12 bids received on the portion of the project wich engineers had estimated would cost $225,000. The only phase of Nash­ ville’s sewer project which resulted in bids being higher than estimates was for the lagoon - and irrigation treatment facility to be located on Greggs Crossing Road. Apparent low bidder Wednesday for building of that facility was Clark Construction of Lansing with a bid of $2,130,000. That portion of the project had been set at $1,900,000. in engineering estimates. Seven bids were received on Contract No. 3 (for the treatment facility). Williams & Works and Nashville’s village attorney will now review the bids to assure that all meet the necessary criteria for the various segments of the sewer project. A recommendation for award of contracts will'then be given to the Nashville village council. Prior to final award, the bids must also be reviewed by various federal and state agencies (EPA, DNR, and FmHA) responsible for ad- SSs ministering the more than 80 percent grants approved for the Nashville project. At Nashville’s June 26 council meeting, Kuffer predicted that “hard and fast construction” on the project would start sometime in August. He expects the project will take about a year to complete. * bs Village officials and representatives of Williams & Works process contractors' bids on Nashville's proposed $4.8 sewer expansion program at formal proceedings in Nashville Wednesday. During formal proceedings, Village Clerk Suzy Corkwell (left foreground) opened bids for the sewer expansion project. Participating in the proceedure were (from left) Bruce Kuffer and Ray Elliott of Williams & Works; Harold Christiansen, Village President; John Hughes, village trustee; Lonny Kienutske, sewer commission chairman; and Steve VandenBrink, Williams & Works.

Using two photographs of Harold, local artist Dale Ann Morawski painted Harold's face on the man shown collecting maple sap by horse and sled in an oldtime syrup-making scene. Though his face was added without wou hiss knowledge, now Harold was pleased with the honor and admits the likeness is remarkable. Dale Ann, who has charge of the mural project, decided Harold was an appropriate model since he has donated so much time and effort to Putnam Park and the community Syrup project.. (Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) With “Hometown Day” approaching on Saturday, Vermontville residents are busy preparing to roll out the welcome mat to former residents who have been invited to come back “home” for a special round of activities. Hometown Day is the village’s way of wrapping up the bicentennial decade. The first homespun event was in 1976 and another was held in ’78. The event is sponsored by the Vermontville Historical Society and local organizations and merchants. Dean and Joan Hansen are co-chairmen of the festivities. All the fun will be centered in and around the village park. A 10:30a.m. ceremony will open the festivities featuring Eaton County Commissioner Edgar Fleetham as the keynote speaker. A 11 a.m. a tree planting ceremony will take place. A bronze plawue com- memorating the late Bridget Cunningham will be presented to the Vermontville Fire Department by the local historical society because of her generousity to the village. The park will serve as an open air arts and crafts gallery throughout the day with- many exhibitors ex­ pected. Entertainment will be another attraction.

Meade, a local native now of Franklin. “Thank you for the article,” he wrote. “It brought back many pleasant memories of train trips I have taken both to and from the old depot in Nashville and on other U.S. railroads.” His memories of the local train station go back to the years when he was growing up on a farm northwest of Nashville. “Anything mechanical always interested* me,” wrote Meade, who is now an Adjunct Professor of Engineering at Oakland University. "Whenever we had to go to the depot to meet someone or see someone off, I looked over the steam locomotives, with the hissing valves, in wonder and always a bit of fright since they were pretty awesome to a youngster. Meade’s maternal grandfather, Samuel J. Robinson, was a brakeman on the railroad from the early years until he died in the spring of 1896. “I have the metal strip saying ‘Brakeman’ which he wore on the-front of his uniform cap,” added Meade. “Also, a brass compass which he carried that has a tag attached saying *S. J. Robinson, Brakeman, M.C.R.R.’.” Meade has kindly offered to donate these items to the local history collection displayed in the Michigan Room at Putnam Public Library. “Trains were always fun to travel on,’’’ concluded Meade.

Starting at *18000 For (48) 4x5 and (1) 8x10 COLOR and ALBUM Ph. 374-7337 did a lot of traveling by train. “Most of the trips were enjoyable,” he commented. “Of course, the cars were no longer heated with wood burning stoves as mentioned in your article and the steam locomotives had largely been replaced with diesels which never seemed quite the same.” Recent Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry (Judy) Terpening and family ofNashville were Mr. and Mrs. Bud Murray and children, Judy and Beverly, of Grand Ledge.

Watch out for risky canning directions A recent popular family magazine gave directions for canning okra and squash by open kettle. These vegetables are low acid, according to Eaton Ex­ tension Home Economist, Ann Ross, and require a pressure canning process! Adding vinegar can make low-acid vegetables safe for canning only if the level is high enough to prevent the growth of botulism bacteria and toxin. Even some of our “reliable” magazines- and canning books contain some recipes that our MSU food scientists say are unsafe. So, be on the safe side. If a recipe for low acid vegetables is not pressure processed, call the Ex­ tension Office (543-2310) to be sure the mixture has enough “acid” for “safety and health”.

Michigan Eaton Rapids, Michigan Olivet, Michigan �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, July 9, 1980 — Page 4 Memories of the past Baseball was major sport in Nashville's early 1900's (Author’s note: An April 1979 story on Nashville’s early independent baseball teams drew such favorable response we would like to present an expanded version for the pleasure of regular readers and those who may have missed the earlier account.) “The Nashville (independent) ball team will play a game Friday af­ ternoon with the high school team,” advised the News in mid-May 1906. “Admission will be five cents.” It was springtime again in Nashville. By the end of May 1906, the local team would be pitted against out-of-town competition. “A baseball game between Woodland’s fast team and the local team has been arranged for Decoration Day on Nashville’s new ground­ s,” announced a later issue of the News. The “new grounds” was the Riverside ball park built on the banks of the Thor­ napple, west of the Main Street stores. The land for the athletic field had been recently donated by Charles Putnam, a prominent Nash­ ville resident. Earlier games had been played at the Driving Park, located along what is now Kellogg Street. Nashville’s annual baseball season traditionally got underway with a “pick­ up” game between local adults and the high school team. “One of the best baseball games in many years was played at the Driving Park Friday afternoon,”, reported the News in early June 190k “It was between the championship high school team and the “NeverSweats,” a team picked up from former high school players, businessmen and other innocents.” The game see-sawed back and forth, with the high school winning, 8-7, in the 11th inning. Baseball was the major sport in Nashville’for many years, recalls Dick Mason, who remembers stories passed on by his father, the late C. 0. “Ab” Mason, a steady player on early village teams. It was not uncommon to see 300 to 400 spectators at local baseball games, staged mostly on Sunday af­ ternoons. In some* cases, such Sabbath scheduling brought disfavor to team members. “Baseball players were considered kind of outlaws because they played on Sunday,” recalls Mason. He remembers his father telling about one local minister who chided the local squad while they were seated in a back pew during Sunday morning services. “I see some of the eleventh-hour boys are here today,” he commented. But Sundays were called for the annual Harvest Festival, Decoration Day, the Fourth of July, and other celebrations. Occasionally the business community capitalized on local baseball fever to promote commerce. “Nashville merchants are going all out to attract trade to this village,” observed the News in August 1903. “Starting this Saturday continuing through Sep­ tember, there will be a baseball game every Saturday afternoon and a band concert every Saturday evening.” Also, the News account added, there would be a slide trombone quartette during intermission time the first week and fireworks each Saturday evening at 10 p.m. Attendance at most Nash­ ville games was so tremendous that parking was at a premium when folks began driving autos to Riverside ball park in the 1920’s? Great planning went into Nashville’s favorite seasonal sport. Each spring, a baseball association was formed by dedicated men in the community. “Let everybody who is interested in the great natiohal game be present and help start the ball rolling toward a cracker-jack team here this summer,” urged the News in an April 1907 announcement. Officers were chosen at the annual meetings, plans made for the coming season and com­ petition lined up. At an organizational meeting 20 years later, when Dr. W. G. Davis was elected manager of the Nashville Independent baseball for the 1927 season, half a dozen “good games” had already been scheduled, according to a News account. “Ralph Olin was elected president of the association at the meeting Friday evening and C. O. Mason, secretary and treasurer. Directors are Dennis Yarger, Frank Curtis, Menno Wenger and E. E. Gibson,” advised the News. “First practice session will be held Sunday morning at 9:00.”. The following year when the team was organized with A. L. Bennett as manager, games with several Battle Creek industrial teams had been scheduled by the first of May. Harold “Fuzzy” Woodard, a member of Nashville’s 1925 championship high school baseball team who later played for and once managed the local in­ dependent team, remembers traveling to games at such places as Fine Lake and Morrison Lake. He also recalls playing on a field at Thornapple Lake. By the 1930’s, baseball had become quite an important Sunday afternoon event for players as well as their families. Groups of 50 to 70 persons would often travel with potluck dinners to lakes near their scheduled com­ petition to enjoy a com­ munity outing before the game................ ........ Nashville's love affair with baseball blossomed anew each spring with the formation of an independent team in the village. Members of an about-1910 squad are, front row, from left: Marve Sheldon, Otis Gokay, Leon Partridge and Virgil Kidder. Back row: Bert Pember, unidentified player, unidentified coach, Harry Miller, Bob Messimer, Frank Purchis, and Floyd De Riar. (Photo loaned, courtesy Mrs. Leah Partridge) “Vermontville also had a good teamat the time,” said Fuzzy. He remembers a special rivalry between the two villages, but Dick Mason recalls that in earlier years Nashville’s greatest rival was considered to be Hastings. That conflict probably started before the turn of the century, according to a News account from early June 1899: “The baseball game at Hastings Wednesday, bet­ ween Nashville and Hastings merchants and clerks was a disgraceful wrangle from start to finish and featured several fist fights before the game was stopped in the 6th inning with Hastings ahead 12-11. It would seem a good idea for the two towns to break off sports relations until Hastings learns to treat visiting teams with at least common courtesy.” But an early August 1928 News report shows that Woodard’s observation was also correct: “A baseball game here between Nash­ ville and Vermontville Sunday ended up in a free for all fight midway in the sixth inning. Nashville was Vermontville student receives scholarship James A. Myers of Ver­ montville, graduate of Maple Valley High School, has received a scholarship from Michigan Technological University. James was one of 75 recent graduates of lower peninsula high schools to receive Board of Control scholar­ ships from MTU. The University awards 100 of the scholarships each year to seniors of Michigan high schools, primarily to valedictorians and salutatorians of their graduating class. The scholarships provide full tuition for the freshman year and may be renewed for sophomore, junior, and senior years. Students may enroll in any of the univer­ sity’s degree curricula. An old snapshot showing Nashville's Independent ball team of 1925 is prized by former player Dana Dean, now of Vermontville, who recalls games with the House of Daivd from Benton Harbor and the Colored Giants of Chicago. Front row, from left: Virgil Springett, Roy Laurent, Dennis Yarger, Sr., John Johnson, and Ralph Hess. Middle row: Harold Springett, coach, and Paul Rupee. Third row: Bill Martin, Dana Dean, Ted Townsend, and Donald Sprague. (Photo loaned, courtesy Dana Dean) leading 3-1, when the fracas brought an end to the game.” The News often referred to the Dowling team as “old rivals” of Nashville. Other teams regularly challenged by the local independents included Woodland, Freeport, Caledonia, Mid­ dleville, Marshall, Alto, Potterville, Charlotte, Grand Ledge, Bellevue and Sun­ field. In 1939, outstanding ball was played by the<Nasvhille Independent team managed by Voyle Varney. It was mid­ September before they lost their first game of the season; going down under the heavy hitting of Sunfield, the locals lost by a score of 4­ 1 after 14 innings. But Oc­ tober brought sweet victory. “Nashville won the Eaton League baseball cham- pionship Sunday afternoon by beating Vermontville, 3-2, in the final deciding game of the series,” boasted the News. “Merlin (Dutch) Gage was the winning pit­ cher. Others of the Nashville lineup were Diamante, 3rd; Varney 2nd; Hecker, rf; Yarger, c; Mason, ss; Wilson, cf; Kraft, If; and Shaeffer, 1st.” Each spring brought a renewal of Nashville’s romance with baseball. “With the coming of warmer weather the baseball fever begins to crop out ...” another early - April call to organize heralds a new season. Nashville’s love of baseball became a lasting tradition in the village, leaving behind many innings of happy memories.

If the Senate also approves, this issue will be on our November ballot for a vote by the people. CONVENTION CONSTRUCTION - The Department of Transportation has announced that all construction and maintenance work that could cause detours in the Detroit metro area is now suspended for the duration of next week’s Republican National Convention. BOTTLE BAN - Both houses have now approved SB 1148, which outlaws bringing liquor into restaurants which do not have liquor licenses. This was prompted by a June court decision which said current law allowed restaurant patrons to “brown bag” it. PRISON TAX? - Now in the Senate is HB 5833, which would put on the November ballot a proposal for an income­ tax increase of 0.1 percent; the revenue thus generated would be used to build and remodel several state prisons. This is necessary in part because of a successful 1978 ballot proposal which prohibits parole for certain criminals before a minimum term is served. SAVINGS & LOAN - The House has approved HB 4426, which recodifies laws on savings - and - loan associations and allows them to offer credit cards plus fixed-rate and variable-rate mortgages. This is the first revision of savings - and - loan laws since 1964. CHILD RESTRAINTS - The Senate last week defeated HB 5327, which would have required parents or guardians to use vehicle passenger-restraint systems for children under four years old. Although the House approved this by a wide, margin, several senators felt that the proposal was needless regulation and was trying to legislate responsible parenthood. ABORTION VETO - For the fifth time in two years, Governor Milliken has vetoed a legislative proposal to cut off state Medicaid funds for abortions. To do so he had to veto the entire HB 5781, which provides supplemental appropriations for Social Services; another appropriations bill must now be passed. A veto-override attempt may occur on the abortion issue. WAGE ASSIGNMENTS - The Senate is now considering HB 4812, which would prohibit the practice of wage assignments as a method of repaying loans. Presently up to 10 percent of a person’s wage may be assigned for this purpose; the bill would not affect assignments npw in effect.

(Photos supplied) After harvest care for strawberry patch The strawberry harvest may be over, but now is no time to turn your back on the strawberry patch. Postharvest care is an im­ portant part of keeping your patch healthy and produc­ tive. Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director, suggests that home gar­ deners consider renovating their berry patches after harvest. With yearly renovation and weed and insect control, you can keep a strawberry plant producing for 3-5 years. Begin the renovation by mowing or trimming off the leaves just above the crowns. A rotary mower set at the highest level works well, Krizek explains.

Ifs fair time for the Junior Livestock members Members vf the Eaton County 4-H Clubs and Junior Livestock Association are eagerly getting ready for the 1980 Eaton County 4-H Fair, July 20-26. There is lots to be done in preparing for a week of learning, competition, camping, barn duty, new friends and just plain fun through involvement in the 4H livestock programs. A 4-H’er begins by either raising or purchasing a young animal and then feeding and caring for the animal each day. The young people learn much by feeding, grooming and training their animals and having to work together for the months necessary to get ready for the fair. Members come from all areas of;the county and from all walks of life. The lessons and skills they learn in responsibility, animal care, decisionmaking and cooperation w th others, will follow them throughout their lives. The fair emphasizes the progress the members have made during the year. At the fair there is all the excitement' of the livestock judging contest, showmanship, market class competition, and more, but the big event is Sale Day. The Junior Livestock Association members wish to invite the community and its commercial and industrial business people to join them at their annual Market Livestock Sale. The big sale will be held at the fairgrounds, Thursday, July 24, beginning at 5:30 p.m. The sale includes high quality lambs, hogs, steers, rabbits, and c,hicken,s, all to, suit anyone’s taste. Beef, pork and lamb carcasses will also be available. This is a good place to find some quality meat for the freezer and if one cannot use an entire animal, it can be split with a friend. One may wish to support the program for advertising purposes only, and not use the meat. Nancy Diuble, Eaton County 4-H Youth Agent, explains, “We want the public to know that the benefits of supporting the sale and purchasing a market animal are not only for personal consumption. If a buyer wishes, he may sell his market animal at any of the local sales. The only expense to the buyer then is the difference between the price he pays at the sale and the market price at fair time.’* These arrangements can be made on sale day. Live animals will be trucked to the slaughter house or livestock auction of the buyers choice, free of charge. Buyers also receive advertising /through the publicity at the fair and the newspaper recognition for themself or their establishment. At the buyer’s request a photograph of the market animal and 4-H member will be taken at no cost to the buyer. This and the buyer’s rosette can be displayed in their place of business, or home, to show others their support of the 4-H program. Darrell Lehman, the association’s president, mentions that, “In addition, all buyers are invited to be our guests at the Junior Livestock Appreciation Banquet, held in September. This is an evening of good food and entertainment, held in honor of the buyers. It is our way of saying ‘Thanks!” By supporting the Market Livestock Sale, one gains the personal pride that he has helped a 4-H member, the future business people of our community. Prospective buyers will receive a buyer’s ribbon, which will also serve as a fair admission pass good during the sale time.

The July 5 event was indelibly engraved on her mind and the minds of the four other members of the Lowll Me Millon family when a twister touched down at their Maple Grove Township home early Saturday morning. The family was asleep as the storm approached but luckily none suffered injury. The Me Millon home is located) on Guy Road, about three miles southwest of Nashville. “Our son Rod heard a noise that woke him about 6:30 a.m. and he looked out his bedroom window to the west,” said Joan Me Millon. “He saw it coming.” Rod, 18, spotted a swirling cloud headed straight for the Me Millon home, situated high on a hill. There was no time to take cover but Rod yelled at his brother, Todd, 14, to lie on the floor and cover his head with a pillow. About the same time, Lowell and Joan Me Millon awakened by the sound of lawn chairs skating across the deck outside their home. When Lowell looked out the window, he saw the right side of his 10-ft. camper­ pickup tilt off the ground. When it landed, the vehicle was ten feet from the spot where it had been parked.

Only one other glass globe was shattered. The storm stole several plants hanging around the deck outside the Me Millon home and left behind only twisted and broken posts.

"There are lots of so-called ’high energy' milking rations around that claim to have a high energy, high TDN content and at a low cost." says Dr. Everett. "The real measurement of a milking ration's value is the income it produces over feed cost, not the price. "At the Purina Dairy Research Center, we are proud of Purina Test Cow.. proud that it is available for America's dairymen. It is truly a "super" high energy ration. In fact, it contains the highest energy and lowest fiber of all Purina milking rations.

Vol. 108, No. 7 — Wednesday. July 16, 1980 Vermontville hosts a homecoming to remember By Elaine Gilbert Saturday was homecoming day in Ver­ montville, and dispite un­ cooperative weather, the festivities went on as planned. Sponsored by the Ver­ montville Historical Society with cooperation from the local chamber, merchants, and other service organizations, the day was set aside as a reunion with former Vermontville residents. Guests who had once called Vermontville “home” came from as far away as Fountain Valley, California; Seattle, Washington; and Lexington, Kentucky. Hometown Day was filled with fun activities, running the gamut from an ice cream social to having a ‘ball’ in the waterball fight contest. It was also a day to pay tribute to those who have contributed to the com- Fern Hawkins Yoder of Dowling who was born in Vermontville in 1900 came back to visit on Hometown Day and found a picture in the museum of her pater­ nal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Horace Hawkins.

Wednesday, July 16. 1980 — Page 2 Nashville News After last week’s report on the early morning tornado that struck at the Lowell Me Millon residence on Guy Road July 5, we learned that the same storm was ap­ parently responsible for flattening an old and seldomused barn on the Paul Williams place, located just south of the intersection of Cloverdale and South Clark roads. A housefill of holiday company was asleep in the Williams home when the twister touched down and none actually witnessed the swirling cloud which was sighted by Rod Me Millon, 18-year-old son of the Lowell Me Millons. Asleep at the Williams home in addition to Mr. and Mrs. Williams and their daughter were Mrs. Williams’ brother and family, Mr. and Mrs. William Frank and two children, and her sister and family, Mr. and Mrs. Keith Me Coy and three children, all of Coloma. “My sister-in­ law told me later that she had gotten up to shut the window because of the noise, which she thought was just a thunderstorm,’’ said Mrs. Williams. “It was then that she saw a piece of siding go flying past the second-story window.” The storm leveled the William’s barn, con- IDERN H HOTdGRVHICS Many Wedding Plans to choose from ...

The 6:30 a.m. storm struck just as an alarm was going off to wake the Williams family and guests for a- planned fishing expedition and picnic at Thornapple Lake. “There was a lot of excitement for a while,” commented Mrs. Williams. Coincidentally, the Saturday morning twister hit in the same area as a 1920 tornado that wreaked havoc on Maple Grove Township. Hardest hit in that early storm was the Wilcox Cemetery neighborhood where four lives were claimed. Also hard hit in 1920 was Me Cartney’s Comers (S. Clark and Maple Grove Road intersection) where a demolished house buried its occupants, who survived. Ironically, a straight line drawn from Wilcox Cemetery to Me Cartney’s corners passes directly over the Me Millon property. Good news that Mrs. Eliza Emery was able to return to her home in Nashville last Monday after many weeks of recuperation from a frac­ tured pelvis she suffered in a fall at her residence earlier this year. Following hospitalization in Battle Creek, Mrs. Emery was transferred to an adult care home near Hastings where she continued to mend. Now she is much improved and able to get around without a walker.

Allen Dean, a former local resident now of West Melbourne, Florida, and his wife, Louise, are now en route to visit relatives in the state of Vermont. They have been in Michigan two weeks vacationing and calling on local family and friends. “I don’t remember many of the Fourth celebrations in town,” wrote former local resident Kenneth A. Meade, now of Franklin, in a letter expressing his enjoyment of the little news excerpts presented in a recent Memories about Nashville’s early July 4th activities. “Usually on the farm at that time we were busy making hay and harvesting wheat, so we worked all day on the Fourth,” explained Meade, who grew up on a farm northwest of the village. “When I was smaller, we used to get together with the Huwes who lived across the road, pool our fireworks that we had bought earlier at either Barker’s (bakery) or Munson’s candy store and have a celebration on the Fourth. At the end of the evening, we had delicious homemade ice cream and cake.” In later years, when Meade was in high school, he remembers going to Fourth of July events at Bennett Park in Charlotte by rail, coming back on the early morning train, and then having to work all the next day shocking wheat in the hot sun with little sleep. “One way to pay for a holiday celebration,” he concluded. Wednesday guests at the home of Adolph and Rose Douse were his sister and her husband, Pauline and Carl Lehman of Bellevue. In honor of the Douse’s wedding anniversary, the four had lunch at the Steakhouse Restaurant. Later Wednesday evening, the Douses joined, the Otto Christiansens of Charlotte and the Harry Johnsons of Nashville for dinner at the Chateau near Charlotte.

Larry Winegar of Nash­ ville, commercial loan of­ ficer with Michigan National Bank, was mentioned in a recent write-up in the Battle Creek Enquirer & News for representing the educational interest of local bankers at the 78th National American Institute of Banking Con- ference held recently in New Orleans. Winegar is president of the Battle Creek chapter of AIB. According to the report, about 1,400 leaders in banker education attended the conference. The Nashville Police Dept, handled 83 complaints in June, according to a report given to the village council Thursday by Sgt. Gene Koetje, acting chief. The police activity report for last month reflects an increase in complaints which is normal in summer months, Koetje said. The June report in­ cluded malicious 7 destructions of property, 16 parking tickets, 5 moving violations, 3 arrests, 3 bad checks, 1 driving under the influence of liquor, 1 assault, I disorderly person, 1 breaking and entering, and II larcenies, half of which involved gasoline. Koetje said the village was getting hit with a lot of cases of “midnight acquisition of gasoline.” In addition to the complaints handled, the Nashville police assisted the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, seven times during June and gave one assist to the Hastings City Police. Local officers found one open door in making door checks in June. They drove 2,170 miles during the month, using 219 gallons of gasoline.

The latest play leaves Nashville Baptist Oldtimers at the top of the league with a 9 and 0 record. How many readers recall the late John Wellman, longtime second-hand dealer on Nashville’s North Main Street? He and his wife, Melvina, were pictured in a photo used in a recent Memories story on the former White Rose Oil Station that was located at the NE corner of Main and Washington, adjacent to the Wellman property. A distant relative of his, Mrs. John Engel of Dimondale, saw that story and wrote us seeking more information for a family history she is preparing. “A friend gave me an April Nashville newspaper,” wrote Edith Engel. “It had a picture of Mr. and Mrs. John Wellman. This John Wellman and my grandmother were first cousins.- Anyone with a Wellman in the family from Nashville, Vermontville, Eaton Rapids or Brookfield were relatives.” Mrs. Engel is interested in learning the name of John's father and where he is buried. In a quick trip through Lakeview Cemetery, ,we located a Lewis Wellman (1840-1913) and wife, Jannett (1847-1921) and sent this data to Mrs. Engel. She believes however, that John’s father would have been closer to the age ofhis brother (her great­ grandfather) Abram Wellman, who was born in 1813 and died in Ohio in 1887. Albert E. Wellman was another brother. Mrs. Engel is confident there are family members still in this area. “Albert died in Hastings in 1902,” she wrote, “He must have relatives somewhere there.” Mrs. Engel thought our readers might be in­ terested in the origin of the name Wellman.

Michigan �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, July 16, 1980 — Page 4 'Wild' horses brought chuckles and tears during Nashville's horse and buggy era — The cry “Runaway”, was a sound that struck terror in hearts of local residents back in Nashville’s horse and buggy days. Fractious or frightened steeds often jeopardized life, limb and property in their wild escapades but they also provided countless lines of colorful copy for the local press. Almost without ex­ ception, the Nashville News recorded these equine antics so vividly that readers could feel the excitement and almost sense the fear--that onlookers had known. Some reports py of runaways were tinged with a tongue in cheek theg slapstick humor at scenes such havoc must have wrought. Following are several excerpts of stories that enlightened News readers ofan earlier day. We hope our present-day audience enjoys them also. August 30, 1879... David Dixon lost a new buggy Monday morning when his team ran away, entered the bee yard and upset several hives of bees. They stung the horses so severely that the 'team went mad, running several miles and demolishing the rig and harness. Mr. Dixon wisely jumped out in the early stages of the runaway, and escaped injury. April 24, 1880... Runaways have become so. prevalent .that is it. no longeF safe to be on the * streets. One of the worst occured Saturday when Bert Cooper’s team, from Maple Grove, took off while unattended at Holler’s Mill (1980 note: then located west of the river on Bridge St.) and ran wild up one street and down another, until nothing was left of Bert’s wagon and little of the harness.

December 10, Nashville's doctors were prime candidates for runaway antics that made colorful news, especially the misfortunate veterinarian Dr. F. A. Law (center), who lost his Christmas sleigh to an impatient horse. 1881... Thursday afternoon, a horse belonging to Michael Reiser of Woodland became frightened of a deer skin hung in front of Joseph Cole’s market. It wheeled around, tipped the wagon over, which frightened it still more, and started on a rampage that took him around the square and straight for. the post office (1980 note: now location of Dairy Delite on South Main)*.

Women screamed and cried; men got off the street and children stood with their heads just visible from behind buildings. The fastidious steed left the sidewalk at Buxton’s corner, following Washington Street to the alley, down which he ran to the river where he was captured and returned to Mr. Reiser unharmed, but badly scared. Fractions dr frightened horses often staged spectacular runaways with both tragic and comic results. A leisurely buggy ride or a business trip to town often turned into catastrophe when jittery steeds were spooked by anything from trains to autos, dog fights to deer hides. Harnesses and rigs were frequent casualties. These unidentified local trnv«ler- » n Sr -ed by early Nashville photographer Charles Hershberger, after a half-mile run, with very little damage done.

(Maple Valley News photo by Elaine Gilbert) Gilmore collects *110,000 for congressional campaign Republican Congressional candidate Jim Gilmore announced today that he has collected almost 1,000 in­ dividual contributions for a total of just a little over $110,000 since starting his campaign in mid April. The announcement came as Gilmore released a sum­ mary of the contents of the quarterly financial report due from all candidates by July 15. The cut off date for the report was June 30. “I said when I announced for. this seat that this would be a broad based campaign dependent on the support of thousands of people from all across the district,” said Gilmore. “I think our first 214 months of activity have been extremely successful.” Of the 1978 individual contributions 769 were for $50 or less. \ “I am particularly pleased at the large number of smaller givers,” said Gilmore. “I believe their support is an indication that there are a great many who agree with me that it is time to bring a more sensible businesslike approach to the affairs of Washington,” said Gilmore. Nyle Wells has just had the opportunity to discover that taking a trip to the nation’s capitol adds a lot of zip to learning about government and history. While textbooks definitely are an important learning tool, of course, it was fun for Nyle to learn about many interesting tidbits of history that aren’f usually included in schoolbooks. The trip, called the “Citizenship — Washington Focus” program, is an annual 4-H activity throughout the nation and Nyle represented Eaton County on the journey. He is_ the first from Eaton to make the trip since 1975. The trip from Michigan was via a 14-hour bus trip with youth from seven Michigan counties. About 600 youth from 10 states converged at the capitol for the June 21-28 adventure, coming from places like California, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and others. Three busloads came from California. The program is ongoing throughout the summer for youth from different states. Meeting new friends from various parts of the country was a definite highlight for Nyle. “One of the most in­ triguing parts was hearing all the different accents. It was enjoyable just listening to them,” he said. The youth were housed dormatory style at the National 4-H Center, located about 10 miles on the out­ skirts of Washington. It is Eaton County youths eligible for photo exhibition contest Budding young Eaton County photographers are eligible to compete in the 1980 4-H Photography Exhibition.

Days during 'the Washington trip were long and fully packed plus the weather was hot and humid with temperatures zooming over 100 degrees that week. Nyle was in the breakfast line by 7 a.m. and most of the time was on the go untjl at least midnight. It was go-go-go all the time with sights to see and workshops to attend. Enroute to the capitol, a stop at Gettysburg to tour the battlefields set the mood for learning more about our nation’s history,, Nyle said. The whirlwind of activities were educational and fun. Nyle even put his “magic” to work by performing in the talent show during part of the closing ceremonies of the trip. v . He attended a rock opera at Ford Theatre where Lincoln was shot. He went up in the Washington Monument and learned on the trek that it had been built with money raised by the American people rather than being governement funded. No trip to the capitol would be complete without touring the White House and Mt. Vernon, the FBI building, and the Jefferson Monument — and these were on Nyle’s itinerary. He also visited the zoo and had a chance to see the giant Panda from China. The changing of the guard at Arlington National Cemetery was interesting to him too. photos must have been taken after June 1, 1979. Judging will take place during the Michigan 4-H Livestock Expo, August 1821, at Michigan State University. A committee of qualified photographers will review the entries and select four to represent Michigan this fall at the National 4-H Photo Exhibition sponsored by Eastman Kodak Co. Entries for the contest must be received at the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Office by Friday, August 8.’ For more- in­ formation about exhibit rules and guidelines or any other 4-H program or ac­ tivity, contact Diuble at 543­ 2310. There also was time spent in the national headquarters of the Red Cross to learn about its varied services. Wednesday of the trip was spent on Capitol Hill and the Michigan Youth met with Congressman Howard Wolpe and Senator Carl Levin’s agricultural advisor. The youth also observed the House in session on Wolpe’s closed circuit TV and ac­ tually sat in on a session of the House and Senate. Nyle said he was surprised to see House Speaker Tip O’Neill casually flipping through a magazine as legislators requested the floor. The Vermontville youth also noted that the American flag is flown of the wings of the capitol whenever the House and Senate are in session. Just a glance at the building will denote if there is a recess because the flag will be gone. One interesting tidbit of information Nyle enjoyed learning involved “the whispering room” which is located in the first Meeting place of the House of Representatives. Nyle was amazed to learn from the tour guide that whispering could be heard from accross the room if one was situated in a certain spot with head tilted slightly downward. Nyle said that phenomina is the reason President John Adams appeared to be sleeping in some of the photos taken of him. Of course he wasn’t sleeping, but just listening to his op­ position accross the 50-foot round room. It-was also interesting to learn that the nation’s capitol was once swam­ pland. Nyle and other youth had a chance to commute to various places on the electric Metro Rail which is com­ puter controlled. Side walk cafes are quite a popular restaurant style, notes Nyle. “One thing that did sur- Phones 726-0330 ffa/lCiy J BEAUTY SHOP 157 South Main VermnetviJl*.

And that just about one-half mile away there were some raunchy looking trailers with food and souvenirs for sale.” Nyle was involved in a mock presidential election during the trip. He said this experience enabled the youth to observe all the facets of electing candidates to office...from the primary...to a popular vote... and what happens when there is no majority. The main emphasis of the entire trip is to offer youth the opportunity to become better citizens of the nation and the world. “It teaches us more about government and stresses that people should become more involved. I personally learned more about how the government operates. If I ever doliave a complaint, I’ll know where, to start,” said Nyle. The trip encompassed history, current events, and a look into the future. “To know how the government works, you have to un­ derstand history,” says Nyle. “I’d go again if I had the chance.” He will be available to give presentations on the Citizenship — Washington Focus program. Already he plans to give a talk to the 4-H Eaton County Council, the Vermontville Chamber of Commerce, and at the 4-H Leader Banquet' in Eaton County in October. Nyle says he really plans “to push 4-H” when he makes his presentations. “Most people don’t realize the opportunities that 4-H UoSffAerNs...MlikeC thOisR tKriWp.

According to information received from the MDT, the intent of the sign program is “to improve traffic safety on all Michigan streets and roads by providing uniform standards for traffic control to reduce the likelihood and severity of traffic ac­ cidents.” The project involved a field review to inventory and analyze present traffic control devices in the village, noting placement, condition and adequacy. The council authorized Street Administrator Leon Frith, head of the village’s D.P.W., to sign the necessary job forms required for the project and also approved required safety standards to which the work crew must adhere while installing the signs in Nashville.

Summer jeans and tops. Cookies and punch. Those jostling kids were all participants in the Eaton Intermediate Summer School ’80, Something Special for the gifted, talented and creative. The program’s purpose was to provide enrichment ex­ periences not available in the regular school year. Over 200 children, pre K through grade 8, par- ticipated. An additional 60 adults attended the daily Parenting Seminary. A total of 21 teachers, seven aides and six SAGE (Society for the Advancement of Gifted Education) volunteers worked together to make the two week school a smashing success. The program was held in the Potterville Middle School building two hours daily from June 16-27. “The school provides challenge, stimulation, a chance to investigate areas they haven’t previously been exposed to”, Pat Reinbold, coordinator, said. “We encouraged teachers to teach productive and creative thinking, develop problem solving skills and self-directed learning.” “The school offers a chance for bright kids to. interact with other kids of comparable ability and interest,” Ms. Reinbold said. “Many parents told me that they had no trouble getting their kids out of bed in the morning,” she said. m“ Students would say things like “Why can’t school be like this?”. Classes were divided into three levels - Pre-K, 2, 3-4 and 5-8. All Pre-K - 2 students were grouped such that every child took every subject, including math, science, motor development, art, language arts and music. Five teachers and five aides taught the 40 students, using a learning centers approach. Students in grades 3 and 4 selected two classes from the following: creative dramatics, math, Junior Great Books, Books, creative creative Great writing, art, super science sampler and dance. Students in grades 5-8 selected from electricity, creative dramatics, creative writing, dance, computer science, creative images on film and videotape, math, drawing and sculpture. ELECTRICITY EXAMINED “How much energy is a kilowatt-hour?” Yeah, kids asked such questions and Curt Tuckey of Ver­ montville, assistant instructor, readily answered that one with “3.6 x 10(6) kg m2-sec2.” Students and explored instructors electrostatics, together electrodynamics, Newtonian Mechanics and other subjects. Under the guidance of Bill Deary and Tuckey, each student then completed a project of his choosing, using batteries, electromagnets, circuits and-.various charts, graphs and analytical processes. ART ARTICULATED “I wish I’d had my camera a couple of times when a few of of my my kinds kinds left left art art They They looked as though they’d taken a bath in whatever' media they happened to have been using,” Jane Hansen, artteacher said. “Now that’s what I call getting into your work. Sorry moms!”. Students in the 3-4 art class did figure - portrait drawings, clay sculptures of faces and creatures, weaving, painting in tempera, printmaking and water color. They talked about color usage, design elements, use of imagination, proportion relationships, contour drawing, 3-dimensional woik and the like.

Intended to allow students to . (1) make scientific predictions, (2) set up experiments to test and corroborate (or not) their predictions and (3) analyze results, students engaged in, among others, the following activities: - “Oldy, moldy” race, an observation of bread mold, With data kept on data sheets. - Volcanoes as one of the four ways mountains are formed, with students creating their own models. -- Rocks and fossils identification of unknowns by classifying charac­ teristics. -Chemical reactions, using chemical (crystal) gardens. - Pollution, using cards taped to the building outside to collect pollutants, and viewing of results through magnifying glass. - The three states of matter using an ice cube. A look at how meterologists predict and make weather forecasts. -- Testing of foods to detect the presence of carbohydrates, its relationship to photosynthesis and starch as a type of carbohydrate. — Study of magnets, magnetic fields and creation of electromagnets by wrapping wire around a bolt and connecting the wire to a dry cell. - A discussion of black holes’ and life on other planets. - Many others. Students in the Science Sampler never had a dull moment. It was indeed something for everyone! JUNIOR GREAT BOOKS Excellent children’s literature was the subject of interpretive and evaluative discussions in the Junior Great Books approach to literature. Each day students discussed a portion of their reading and played a game or worked a puzzle related to the selection. Special features of the class included a-quiz bowl day and Bryan Reddick, guest presenter from the College English Department, who is an ex­ pert on Charles Dickens. Dr. Reddick shared with students Dickens* interest in acting and how this related to his vivid description of the spirits in A Christmas Carol. He then involved the students in a lively discussion of the significance of the three spirits and the Christmas tradition. Ail of- the classes had something special to recommend them. The creative writing class created a journal of their writing: computer programming students wrote some unique programs; dance students really got into aerobics, jazz, ballet, disco and tap; Napier’s Bones are no longer a mystery to math students. And so on. One feature of the school that particularly appealed to adults was the Parenting Seminar. Taught by Barb Daivs, EISD coordinator of programs for the gifted, talented and creative, some 60 parents took advantage of l this opportunity to learn about gifted, talented and creative children; share their problems and concerns in a safe environment; find ways parents can help support their schools and to learn about activities they can dp with their children at home to encourage creative and productive thinking. SAGESUPPORT Serving cookies and punch for over 200 kids each day for ten days adds up to about 2,500 cookies and 200 cans of Hi-C. Without SAGE parents in there soliciting donations of these treats and apportioning them each day, the task would have had to have been too great. Each day a brain teasing puzzle was provided for kids to work on, another “extra” coordinated and completed by SAGE volunteers. Students were provided with a trivia quiz the first day which they had over a week to work on. SAGE awarded a $5.00 prize to-Brian Sleeper, 6th grader at Maplewood, at parent night for his winning entry. These and many other services, including manning of the registration desk, happened 'as a result of SAGE. Ifparticipants see a yellow t-shirt with an owl and “Summer • School ’80 Something Special” on it, they know there is one of these bright and creative kids or parents who went to EISD Summer School. They know too that there is a person who really likes to learn, who is motivated and who likes to explore new ideas. Questions about the summer- school or about other services to gifted, talented and creative students, may be directed to Pat Reinbold, or Barb Davis, at the Eaton Intermediate / School District.

The EPA will supply over 80 percent grant funds for the Nashville project. According to EPA regulations, Wendt explained, minority business enterprises are defined as those that are more that) 51 percent 'owned by minority members who are also in­ volved in day-to-day operation of the company. The EPA’s policy for in­ creased use of minority consultants, construction contractors, suppliers and manufacturers is applicable to all municipal treatment works grants awarded under the Clean Water Act. In accordance with the policy, EPA has established a regional MBE goal of 10 to 15 percent of the total dollar amount of all grantee con- Monday morning's clean-up meant gleaning countless shards of glass from the sidewalk in front of Johnson's Furniture Store for employee Tom Brady. A front window in the building was shattered during Sunday's thunderstorm. Members of Nashville's fire department aided owner Jerry Johnson in boarding up the gaping hole shortly after the mishap was discovered by the local police at the height of the fury. That prompt action, plus the fact that plastic-wrapped mattresses were stacked behind the window prevented what could have been serious damage to the store's contents. tracts, Wendt told the council. The MBE goal for the Nashville project was set at 12 percent. “The policy as well as cited regulationss are contained in the (bid) specifications,” noted Wpendt. , However, several con­ tractors apparently failed to comply with the MBE bid procedure. Along withxother bid documents, each bidder was to submit a fully com- pleted data sheet and-or sheets demonstrating how the company would comply with the EPA policy, in­ dicating proposed per­ centage of MBE par­ ticipation. If the information provided failed to demon­ strate that the bidder would achieve the stated 12 percent MBE goal, the bid might nevertheless be held as a responsible bid, subject to evaluation by the village of the bidder’s documented evidence that he had ex­ pended a positive effort in attempting to meet the stated minority goal, Wendt said. “To establish a bid as responsible, the bidder is obligated to document and submit with his bid, the proposed utilization of MBE contractors to achieve the stated goal and-or positive �The Mople Valley News. Nashville, Wednesday. July 23. 1980 — Page 2 Nashville News The cyclonic windstorm that struck southern Michigan early last Wed­ nesday morning had some effect on Nashville folks, though the wind and rain did little damage here. Local people en route to work in Battle Creek that morning encountered downed trees, limbs and other debris; non­ functioning traffic signals, power outages at many stores and offices, and some disruption of phone service. In a ripple effect, the storm prevented several Nashville senior citizens from enjoying the usual noon meal served at the local Nutrition Site, since the Battle Creek commissary where the food is prepared daily was without electricity. After preparation in that city, the hot lunch is normally transported here by van. Senior citizens who regularly attend the local Nutrition Site were advised by phone of the meal cancellation. Other Nashville folks were at the Nazarene’s Indian Lake Campground near Vicksburg when the Wed­ nesday storm blasted that area. One of those at the hard-hit camp was June Wadsworth, wife of Rev. KENT OIL Co. WILL BE CLOSED on Saturday... July 26,1980 Richard Wadsworth of the local Church of the Nazarene. Trees were downed at the camp and the facility was left without electricity and phone ser­ vice, but at this report the camp was expected to be back in session by Thursday evening. Across from the battered Indian Lake Campground, * a tree fell across the garage of a residence, causing con­ siderable damage. With Mrs. Wadsworth at the camp were her daughters, Phyllis and Debbie. After the storm passed, the Wadsworths took refuge at her mother’s home in Sturgis, about a 45-minute drive from Vicksburg. There, Mrs. Wadsworth was able to reach her husband by phone to advise him that everyone at the camp was safe. Camping at Indian Lake has proved to be rather an ordeal for June Wad­ sworth. On Tuesday, July 8, while attempting to light the oven in a gas range at the campground facility, she sustained first and second degree burns on her hands and face. Being unfamiliar with the stove, enough fuel escaped to cause an ex­ plosion when the match Mrs. Wadsworth was holding finally ignited the burner. She was taken to the Vicksburg hospital for treatment and released, then later went to Kalamazoo for consultation with an eye specialist. However, it ap­ pears that her eyes were spared though she lost her eyelashes in the mishap.

Mrs. Wad­ sworth suffered first degree burns on her face and second degree burns on her hands, but after two days of recuperation at her home in Nashville, she decided she felt well enough to return to camp duties. A week later, the storm came. Clifford Brooks and his sister, Mrs. Zelpha Wolever, both of Nashville, were in Battle Creek to shop last Wednesday, following the storm. They sighted much debris lying along the route through the city and noted several large windows missing from stores in the Lakeview area. Many business places were not open due to loss of elec­ tricity. The Cloverleaf Class of the Nashville United Methodist Church will be conducting a rummage sale Friday, July 25, at the resident of Mr. and Mrs. Victor (Mabel) Brumm on North Maia Proceeds will be divided between the Cloverleaf Class and the church. Items may be dropped off at the Brumm home on M-66 or persons may contact Mrs. Hilda Baas to arrange for pick-up. Rev. and Mrs. E. F. (Alice) Rhoades of Nashville enjoyed lots of company and two family gatherings over the recent holiday weekend. Visiting here from out of town were their sons and families: Dr. and Mrs. Paul Rhoades of Gladwin, and Dr. and Mrs. Von Rhoades and son, David, of Smithfield, North Carolina; and Mrs. Gertrude Billow of Chapel Hill, N.C., who is a sister to Alice Rhoades. The family gathered on the Fourth for a picnic at the home of Jim and Ruth Ann King of Bellevue. Present in addition to those already named were: Mrs. Naomi Watson of Nashville; Dale and Bernice Conklin of Bristol Lake; Greg and Lori Hughes, and Bob and Nancy Breman, all of Battle Creek. On Satur­ day, July 5, the clan gathered again for a picnic potluck dinner in honor of the birthday of Alice Rhoades and also celebrated her husband’s birthday which falls on July 8.

Children’s Story Hour at Putnam Public Library continues to be an out-'' standing success with at­ tendance near 100 each Tuesday morning. The library staff is very ap­ preciative of the help given by Friends of the Library members in conducting the weekly educational entertainment program that will run throughout July. Stories, movies, crafts and a picnic are on the agenda. In addition, a costumed skit about the life of the Putnam family is to be written and staged by 5th and 6th graders attending the Story Hour sessions. The Children’s Story Hour is open to all youngsters age 4 and up. Any children under four must be accompanied by parent or legal guardian. The sessions run from 10 a.m. to 12 noon each Tuesday. A picnic in Putnam Park will conclude the final session on July 29. Mrs. Amy Putnam and Mrs. Edna Smith of Nashville will be attending the School of Missions at Albion College, July 21-24. The session is being sponsored by West Michigan Conference of the United Methodist Church. The Nashville United Methodist nominating committee for church of­ ficers for 1981 will meet at 8 p.m. Tuesday, July 22, at the church. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Shoup of Nashville returned home last week after a vacation at Traverse City to enjoy the annual Cherry Festival. They stayed near Interlochen. Upon .their return to Nashville, the Shoups had as weekend guests his cousins, Judge and Mrs. John W. Earman of Turkey Point, Chesapeake Bay, Maryland. He is a federal judge and travels various places in the country to hear cases. While here, the Earmans enjoyed ac­ companying the Shoups to Cornwell Turkey Farm near Marshall. They also toured Putnam Public Library from basement to attic and en­ joyed an excursion of Hicks Cemetery and area to seek information on Mrs. Ear­ man’s ancestors. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Gehman of Morrison Lake were in Nashville last Monday afternoon to call on his sister, Mrs. Eliza Emery, who recently returned home after several months con­ finement due to a fractured pelvis. A film about the Last Supper entitled “In Remembrance” will be shown Sunday, July 27, at 11:00 a.m. at the Nashville Assembly of God. The movie captures an unforgettable story of the men who chose to follow a young teacher from Nazareth and of the night that would change their world forever. “In Remembrance” is a stun­ ning recreation of the men and events which surround the Last Supper. It is a film for all time and all people, and is a motion picture experience you will never forget. The public is cor­ dially invited to attend.

Nashville, Wednesday, July 23, 1980 — Page 4 Swimmin' holes were the place to beat the heat at the turn-of-the-century The summer of 1901 was a scorcher. Perhaps that was the reason the Nashville News chose that year to endorse nude bathing. An editorial stand supported boys swimming in the buff, though the case in question was not local. ‘In Detroit last week, Judge Pheland handed down a decision that displeased many people, but which we applaud,” commented the Nashville News in relating the city incident in late July. The story continued: “Six young boys were arrested for swimming in the river without suits and the assistant prosecutor argued that since all had been wa.-ned repeatedly by a policeman on the beat, he felt that they and their parents should pay the full penalty of the city ordinance which prohibits bathing without suitable attire. “The Judge pointed out that he swam in the river as a boy, never wore a suit because he didn’t have one, and ended with a statement to the effect that he per­ sonally would defend the boys if they were arrested again for swimming in the nude in their particular sheltered spot on the river. He also mentioned that three aidermen who had voted for the ordinance had been among the crowd he saw waiting to enter a Detroit opera house to see women wearing tights,” the report said. Cooling off in the river was a popular sport in Nashville, also, in those early days, and the iron bridge across the Thornapple acted like a magnet in : drawing youngsters to North Main Street in summer’s searing heat. There, in water so clear they could see bottom, young men found it great sport to dive off the high railing of the 1899 iron span. Another favorite “swimming hole” for local youth was a site below the dam, near the old Riverside ball park. If any summer called for bathing in the buff, it was the year of 1901. “The awful hot weather of the past two weeks, together with the no less awful electrical storms, have done considerable damage Did You Know!

The following week the News indicated, with a twist of humor, that no relief was in sight: “For fear some of our readers might have overlooked it, the past week has been one of the hottest on record. The mercury climbed over the 100-mark every day except one in the last seven, and none of the nights has been cool enough to cause worry over frost.” But soon the deluge came. A severe downpour late on Independence Day in 1901 made weather the main topic of discussion in the next issue of the News: “One of the heaviest and most destructive storms which ever visited this vicinity occured on the night of July 4th, when four inches of water fell within a time limit of four hours, and the bulk of it in two hours. “Nashville was apparently nearly in the center of the path of the storm. Railroad traffic was' halted with two washouts near the Otto Schulze farm and the bridge near Gregg’s Crossing was completely carried away. High water hampered the work of repair crews, and it was three days before train service could be resumed. Throughout the county, road bridges are gone and fences and crops along the streams are either entirely destroyed or badly damaged. The electrical storm, which accompanied the flood, was rather light, but there was some damage to barns and livestock in this area.” Thunderstorms plagued Nashville and vicinity throughout the summer of 1901. In between the cloudbursts, searing tem­ peratures threatened sun­ stroke for men and animals working in the harvest fields. The season had been ushered in by unusual weather when close to Memorial Day a terrific electrical storm, ac­ companied by heavy rain and hail and winds of “cyclonic proportions,” struck southern Barry and Eaton counties, demolishing buildings, toppling windmills and sweeping away trees. . The havoc continued throughout the summer, as noted in a News account the first of August: “On Thur­ sday night of last week, this area was hit by another severe electrical storm, which did considerable damage. At one time, four big fires could be seen from Nashville. A barn belonging to John Andrews southeast of the village was struck and fired, being totally destroyed . A new barn Daring divers perch high atop Nashville's 1899 Thornapple Rivet bridge in this 1920's photo. The iron span, replaced with concrete in 1934, acted like" a mbgnet in drawing youngsters to North Main in early years, like the scorching summer of 1901 when the News applauded a Detroit judges decision defending boys nude bathing. A plunge into water "so dear you could see bottom" is caught by the camera as envious young admirers look on. Another swimmer scales the skeletal ironwork to reach the diving perch. A site below the dam, near the old Riverside ball park, was another favorite "swimming hole" of early Nashville youths. owned by Henry Green in Maple Grove and half a dozen barns across the line in Eaton County were struck and burned. The new house of Jonas Hawblitz in Maple Grove was struck but not set afire.” By mid-August 1901, some Nashville folks were seeking at least a temporary reprieve from the wicked weather. “Plenty of people left town Sunday,” advised the News. “At the local station, there were 50 tickets sold to Ot­ tawa Beach and 47 for Grand Rapids. Those who stayed home enjoyed a whillykapopper thunderstorm in the afternoon, although there was not much rain in-, eluded.” With the return of more temperate weather in subsequent summers, opinion about swimming in the buff may have changed on the local scene. Three years after the News applauded nude bathing in Detroit, the Nash-, ville paper published a notice reflecting an ob­ viously less lenient stand: “Parties who have been making a practice of bathing at the river bridge without bathing suits are hereby warned and notified to stop this practice, otherwise the village authorities will prosecute all such violations of the ordinance prohibiting such practice.” The notice was signed by L.

The IFCA has reaffirmed its strong position in support in inerrancy and inspiration. Other areas of concern, according to Dr. Lightner are a failure to understand the function of the local church and the faithfulness of the members of the local church. Dr. Lightner stated that although the local church needs revival, it cannot be replaced. The local church is God’s program for this age, ac­ cording to Dr. Lightner. 800 new churches in the 80’s “800 new churches in the 80’s” is the immediate goal of the IFCA. Spearheading this project is the Church Extension Council of the IFCA. Rev. Noel Olsen, pastor of Memorial Bible Church, Yakima, Washington, was elected president of the Church Extension Council. Rev. Olsen has been involved in starting churches in the northwestern areas of America and has given his total support to this project. Rev. Olsen preached on Tuesday evening, June 24 on “breaking ground,” putting the goal of the IFCA into immediate action. There are 23 church ex­ tension agencies in the IFCA, starting and establishing churches in various sections of the nation. Many of the established churches are also in the process of starting branch churches in areas where there is not a strong, fundamental, gospel preaching church. The IFCA began in Cicero, Ill, in June 1930 and has been known for its strong em­ phasis on Bible exposition. The IFCA has also taken a strong position on personal and ecclesiastical separation.

Of the three apparent low bidders named at the July 2 bid opening, one had stated only a 10 percent MBE goal; another had submitted an incomplete MBE data sheet; and a third had failed to fill out any MBE forrn.

Nashville, Wednesday, July 23. 1980 — Page 10 Crystal Gayle joins long list of award winning 'Free Fair talent Crystal Gayle will join a long list of award winning country music artists who have played at* the Ionia Free Fair, when she en­ tertains in front of the big outdoor exposition’s grand­ stand in two shows, August 4. Performances will be held at 6:30 and 9 p.m. In 1977, Ms. Gayle was presented with the “Out­ standing Female Vocalist” award by both the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association. The following year she received her first Grammy for the Country Female vocal performance of the year and also garnered second consecutive “Out­ standing Female Vocalist” honors. Crystal skyrocketed to the top in 1978 when her recording of “Don’tlt Make My Brown Eyes Blue” sold over one and one-half million copies and was number one on both the country and pop charts. Singer Ray Stevens will join Ms. Gayle on the Free Fair stage. This will be the second appearance at the Fair for Stevens, who teamed with Ronnie Milsap last summer. Stevens had his first national hit in 1962 with “Ahab the Arab”. On a comic level, he has Since scored with hits like “Jeremiah Peabody’s. Poly Unsaturated Quick Dissolving Fast Acting Pleasant Tasting Green and Purple Pills”, “Gitarzan”, the five-million seller “The Streak”, and the Grammy nominated “I Need Your Help Barry Manilow”. On the more serious side, Stevens has done equally well with hits like “Misty”, which won him a Grammy for best music arrangement of 1975, “Everything is Beautiful”, and “America Communicate With Me”.

Brown’s first recording as a soloist was “I’ve Heard From A Memory” in 1965. After Jim Ed continued to grow as a star in his own right with a string of hit songs, he teamed with Helen Cornelius, who will appear on the Free Fair stage with Brown and the versatile Wendy Holcombe. The partnership led to guest appearances on Dolly Parton’s TV show, “Hee Haw”, and their own “Nash­ ville On the Road”, which is currently in 100 markets. Al Hirt, hailed by many as the world’s greatest trumpet player, has been contracted as a grandstand show headliner at the 65th an­ niversary Ionia Free Fair with singer-dancer Susan Anton, August 6. Hirt’s previous previous ap­ pearance on the Free Fair stage occured in 1965 when the outdoor exposition celebrated its 50th birthday. A heavy rain put a damper on his Monday night show that year, but box office records were broken when 5,000 and 6,343 turned out for his Tuesday and Wednesday performances. His drawing pioneered the concept of bringing big name stars to the Fair on a regular basis. A native of New Orleans, LA, Hirt began his professional career as a member of Benny Goodman’s orchestra. Hirt achieved super star status in 1963 when his “Honey in the Horn” album reached third on Billboard’s charts and remained there for 104 weeks. This-success resulted in his receiving awards for Most Promising Solo Instrumentalist and Most Played Solo Instrumentalist. The trumpet player’s star continued to rise in 1964 when he won a Grammy for his gold single, “Java”, and had millionseller albums for ‘(Honey in the Horn” and ‘‘Cotton Candy”. Another gold album, “Sugar Lips”, was produced in 1965. Community Events . . Band Boosters... SAVE GLASS!- Unclaimed items from Band Banquet are: Casserole cover, hot pads and silverware.

I know where my children are after school and they don’t have the time or the energy to run the streets and back roads. The classes are there for the children to take but so many want the easy classes and don’t get the full benefit of what is offered. I know the league we’re in means driving many miles and long hours but don’t blame the school for this. For years they have been trying to get excepted into a closer league but right now I understand Olivet is keeping us out for reasons that date back long ago. The school has set up as many games as possible close to home for the coming year. They would like to change leagues as much as we parents want them to. Its too bad the state athletic program doesn’t help in this way. It’s also too bad that the state has the right to cut our state aid whenever they feel like it. If we were getting 100 percent aid (now and back aid) we wouldn’t need to worry about raising taxes. The state can take away from the child’s education to balance their own budget. Maybe we should all, as a man from Eaton Rapids stated, march on the capitol and let them know how we feel and not just leave it to our local school boards. D. Joostberns M.V. parent GOOD NEWS!

A slow-moving vehicle em­ blem must be displayed on the rear of the machine. Headers that exceed the allowable transport width must be removed and transported by truck. Self­ propelled combines are steered by the back wheels, so the machine is prone to fishtail at transport speeds. Precise operator control is required to avoid collisions when coming onto roads with oncoming traffic. , A safety hazard resulting in a large amount of equipment loss is a combine fire. To help prevent equipment fires, the operator should make sure the area around the engine is clear of chaff and excess grease. The combine should be equipped with at least two fire extinguishers; one mounted in or near the cab and the other mounted where it can be reached from the ground. At least one of these should be a two and one half pound ABC dry chemical fire extinguisher. j A necessary supplement to the combine during the grain harvest is an auger elevator. The major hazard with this type of machine is being caught in the moving parts. It is mandatory that all guards and shields be in place when the machine is in use. When transporting an auger, beware of overhead powerlines. Many workers, family members included, are injured or killed when the auger touches an elec­ trical line. Another hazard involving augers is when they tip or collapse. If the worker sees the auger is about to tip, he should get out of the way, not try to stop it. Try to place the auger on level ground and not raise it too high when it is used. ' To further insure against injuries, harvest workers should wear personal protective equipment. Most farm injuries involve the hands,. feet and eyes. Equipment such as gloves, metal-toed boots and safety glasses can prevent injuries. Bump caps, and boots with slip-resistant soles, are also important ot injury prevention. If the combine is without a cab, the operator is not isolated from dust and noise, and most older open­ air combines put out enough noise to injure an operator’s . hearing during long har­ vesting hours. Therefore, a filter respirator to eliminate dust and ear protection — ear muffs or acoustical plugs — are required for maximum protection.

Elsie Offley of Vermontville was the oldest in often dance at this year's Sunshine Party. Oldest lady in attendance for Sunshine Party As its name suggests, the Sunshine Party radiates warmth, cheer, and hap­ piness. That’s because the primary purpose of the annual July event is to honor all of the community’s women who are 75 years and older. All of the women in the village are invited as guests. Newcomers also are welcomed because it is a golden opportunity for them to become acquainted with their neighbors. The Sunshine Party has been going strong since 1938, with the women of the United Methodist and Congregational churches in Vermontville sharing in the sponsorship of theevent. The two groups take turns hosting the event on alter­ nate years. This year, the 42nd an­ niversary of the gathering was held at the United Methodist Church, and Elsie Offley, 90 years young, had the honor of being the oldest in attendance. In keeping with tradition, bouquets of flowers were given to the oldest women present. Besides Mrs. Offley, floral tokens of thought­ fulness were given to Lila Stevens, who is 88, Winifred Wells, 87; Ruth Aldrich, 86; Ethol Figg, 86; Esther Satterlee, 86; Iva Granger Amspacher, 85%; Leone Cotton, 85; Laurel Mathews, 85; Coral Clemens, 84; Helen Refreshment time is o traditional highlight at the party. Here, Maple Valley News correspondent Ava Kroger (third from right) joins some of her friends at the festivities. Hamme, and Bethel Boyles, 81 The gathering was treated to an entertaining program which included jazz dance performances by two area teens; special readings by the Molly Turner, the Methodist, minister; and a showing of a doll collection by Madelyn Forest, a local resident. Madelyn brought her favorite dolls to the Sunshine Party and told the audience that “dolls are as old as civilization itself.’’ Madelyn brought a variety of dolls to share including her oldest, a turn-of-thecentury bisque head doll with a leather body. Other highlights were a doll dressed in a wedding gown patterned after the one worn by Princess Grace Kelly, a Korean doll dressed in native attire, a doll that could power its own bicycle, and a basket full of miniature A dozen delightful ladies received floral bouquets in honor of being the oldest in attendance at the Sunshine Party.

Wodnesdoy. July 30. 1900 — Poge 2 Nashville News The appeal for help in locating information on the family of the late John Wellman of Nashville brought several local responses last week, plus a call from his granddaughter, Erma VanDeventer Williamson of Charlotte. She was able to supply the name of John's father, which had been sought by Mrs. John Engel of Dimondale for a Wellman family tree she is preparing. (John Wellman and Mrs Engel's grand­ mother were first cousins ) When Mrs. Williamson phoned, she informed us that John’s father was Randsler Wellman. We put her in touch with Mrs. Engel so the two can compare family notes. Erma VanDeventer was born in Nashville, we learned in our conversation, and grew up in this area, also living in Lansing and Ver­ montville at various times during her childhood. She vividly recalls the Wellman’s second-hand store and home on Main’ Street, and how delightful that location seemed to her as a child, since it was close to so much activity. She remembers the many parades she watched march down Main StreeClipfa 'achoice seat on” her ‘jjraiidf parents’ front porch. The Wellman place, now gone, was situated near the Main and Washington streets intersection, just north of the present-day Nashville Coin Laundry. One enduring memory'Erma has of her grandparents’ house was when the entire family rushed into the cellar during a severe windstorm which she thinks may have been about the same time as the 1920 cyclone that devastated Maple Grove Township. She remembers that storm: how the adults went out to the Wilcox Cemetery neigh­ borhood the following day to view the destruction but would not allow her to go along. They felt she was too young to see the site where three had died and a fourth would soon succumb. Looking back, she agrees, Erma said. Art Bateman of Nashville was one ofthe winners of a 3­ way tie for first place in a Senior Citizens Golf Tour­ nament staged Saturday, July 19, at the Hastings Country Club. Art entered the contest in the “70-plus” age group. He scored 68handicap on the 18-hole course to share top honors for' his division. Congratulations! Mrs. Bill (Virginia Furlong) Cox of Houston, Texas; who is temporarily residing near Vermontville, hosted a carry-in lunch .Friday, July 18, for mem­ tiers of a local birthday club ’group.

Maurice and Ardis Pur chis of Nashville are pleased to announce the arrival of a new grandson, born July 12 to Max and Martha Purchis of Hanover, Illinois. The young lad weighed in at 7 lbs., 2 ozs. and has been named Eric Ryan. He is welcomed home by his brother, Bryan, who- is almost three. Maternal grandparents are Rev. and Mrs. Robert Moore of Sioux City, Iowa. Victor Brumm of Nashville is a great­ grandfather on the paternal side. Coincidentally, Eric made his debut on the same birthdate as that ofhis great­ great-grandfather, the late Fred Brumm of Nashville. Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Purchis were in Hanover, Illinois, for the arrival of their new grandson and returned home after a week­ long visit. Daily tem­ peratures during their stay ranged in the 100-degree range. A scheduled July 21 picnic at Charlton Park had to be cancelled due to inclement weather, but senior citizens from three Barry County Nutrition Sites gathered for a potluck dinner anyway. Attending the indoor event were 22 Nashville residents. The meal was served Monday noon at Hastings Nutrition Site with the Woodland senior citizens also joining in. En­ tertainment for the occasion \was furnished by EBI youngsters rendering several lovely vocal selec­ tions. Accordian music by the Miller family was also enjoyed by the seniors. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Rogers of Caledonia were Tuesday afternoon callers on Mrs. Eliza Emery of Nash­ ville. Jack and Virginia Green, former local residents now of Melbourne, Florida, are expected in Nashville by August 1 to take up residence here. They have purchased the Queen Street home of Mrs. Bea Penfold, who plans to reside temporarily with a daughter here. Mrs. Mildred Bursley of Nashville was a recent 4-day weekend guest of Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Hobley at their Jordan Lake home in Lake Odessa. Rev. Floyd Nagel of Grand Ledge will be the guest By Susan Hinckley speaker at Sunday morning service, August 3, at the Nashville Baptist Church. A recent auto trip to visit Ker daughter and family at Burnips, Michigan, proved to be a rather harrowing experience for Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville. She and Mrs. Gladys Histead of Nashville were guests of Elizabeth and Alfred Brenner and children for a family cookout at the Brenner’s residence Sunday, July 20. After a lovely day, the Nashville ladies headed home, with Elsie driving. Near Middleville, they en­ countered rain and wind from the damaging thunderstorm that hit Barry and Allegan counties last Sunday evening. The downpour was heavy but luckily they missed the worst of the wind which' hit the Hastings area just before their arrival there. Confused by the storm, Mrs. Ramsey missed a turn near Middleville and proceeded several miles in the wrong direction. When the ladies finally reached Hastings, they stopped for coffee to settle their nerves.. It was then that they heard many sirens and saw several police cars being dispatched, but were not fully aware of what had happened. Con­ tinuing en route home, they were forced to detour on Hanover St. (M-37) because of a large tree which had crashed and blocked the highway. The ladies finally reached Mrs. Ramsey’s home, and Mrs. Histead stayed overnight. The next day, Mrs. Arlie Stambaugh of Nashville accompanied Mrs. Ramsey on a drive back to the Hastings and Middleville area to view the damage. Mrs. Ramsey said that, until she saw it in daylight, she did not realize how extensive was the destruction from the storm through which she had driven. Laurie Tobias, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Tobias of Nashville, is attending the Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp at Twin Lakes for two weeks. A violinist, Laurie will also be studying harp at the camp. Attending a School of Missions at Albion College last week were Mrs. Amy Putham, Mrs. Edna Smith, and Peggy Mater, all of Nashville. The session was sponsored by the West Michigan Conference of the United Methodist Church. Jim and Lori Sheldon of Ludington were recent 3-day weekend guests of his parents, Nate and La Duska Sheldon of rural Nashville. On Sunday, the Nate Sheldons hosted a family dinner in honor of the birthday of daughter Paula Kimble of Morrison Lake. Present in addition to Paula’s husband, Gary, and her daughter, Julie Michele Murphy, and the Jim Sheldons were Natalie and Howard Casterline and sons of Assyria, and Mark and Julie Sheldon Edger of Hastings. Elaine Donald and Leonard of Nashville and Nate and La Duska Sheldon enjoyed a noon dinner last Thursday at the Cornwell Turkey Farm near Marshall. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Tobias of Nashville entertained a Sunday School class from the Hastings Baptist Church at the Gull Lake Bible Conference last weekend. Barth and Sally Middleton Evangelism of Child Fellowship will be at the Nashville Baptist Church on Monday, August 4, to conduct an all-day seminar for Sunday School teachers and church workers in this area. All are invited to attend the 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. session. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard (Veda) Shull of Nashville were in Bristol, Indiana, for the recent Bristol-thon there.

Tony’s wife and baby, who live in Pittsburg with her parents while he is overseas, were also present for the Bristol-thon activities. An interesting sidenote: the parents of Mrs. Kendall Guy had flown up from their home in Arizona to attend the event but because of the recent storms their plane was unable to land at either Detroit or Chicago and the flight ended up going as far as New York and back. The visitors reported seeing Niagra Falls four times from the air as the plane skirted from point to point in search of a clear landing. Evidence of the recent severe windstorms that hit southern Michigan were also witnessed by Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Shull as they drove from Nashville to Bristol, Indiana. They spotted several locations where the wind had touched down and done serious damage. Mrs. Blair Hawblitz, Mrs. Austin Schantz, and Mrs. Vern Hawblitz, all of Nashville, were in Battle Creek Sunday afternoon to attend a bridal shower for Linda Briggs of that city.

Registration gets underway this week for the new Nashville Christian Academy, a school being instituted this fall by a coalition of three local churches: the Nashville Church of the Nazarene; the Nashville Baptist, and the Nashville Assembly of God. Present plans call for classes to be conducted in the educational wing of the local Nazarene Church on Fuller Street. Former Nazarene pastor, Rev. James Sher­ man, will be serving as -principal. Additional details may be obtained by con­ tacting any of the following pastors: Rev. Richard Wadsworth, Church of the Nazarene; Rev. Lester DeGroot, Nashville Baptist; or Rev. Robert Taylor, Assembly of God. , Ladies of the three churches that are instituting the new Christian Academy will be raising funds for the school when they meet at 7 p.m. Thursday, July 31, for a Tupperware Party in the Fellowship Room of the local Nazarene Church. Proceeds will go to the academy. The public is invited to attend the event. Mrs. Gloria Johncock of Nashville is in Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids at this writing, having un­ dergone hand surgery on Wednesday. This is the sixth operation Gloria has had on her hands in the past few years to correct a rare ar­ thritic condition. At this report, it was not known how long she would have to remain confined. Please remember to cheer her with a card or letter. The address at Blodgett is 1840 Wealthy S.E., 49056. A breakfast at the United Methodist Church is set for 7:30 a.m. Sunday, August 3, in the Community House. The event precedes regular Sunday morning worship service. Lois Elliston, Nashville’s village treasurer and deputy clerk, is confined to Pennock Hospital at this writing. She was admitted last Wed­ nesday and was receiving blood transfusions at the time of this report. It was expected that she might be released before the weekend. We wish her a very speedy recovery of good health. Youngsters from Nash­ ville’s Maple Valley Co-op Nursery appeared on WKZOTV Channel 3 Clubhouse last Wednesday morning. These were the same children whose scheduled May 13 appearance on the show was cancelled by the tornado that ravaged downt ow n Kalamazoo that day. In fact, the childreiF and their chaperones were in the city when the vicious storm struck, but found a secure haven in a basement lounge at the television studio until they were given an all-clear to head for home. Last week’s show was filmed under considerably less dramatic circumstances. Myrna Burd of Nashville lost two and three-quarter pounds in one week, and was named top weekly weight loss winner when “God’s No­ Munch Bunch” met for their weigh-in Monday evening at the Nashville Baptist Church. Nashville News is somewhat abbreviated this week due to time involved in preparing the “Meet the Candidate" forum in this week’s issue. The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, July 30, 1980 — Page 3 Letters home The front page headline in the Washington Post said, “Glorious Fourth: The Best Party in America is Here.” Obviously the person who wrote that has never been to Michigan’s 3rd Congressional District for our Independence Day celebrations. For five holidays in a row we have travelled throughout the District going from early morning pancake breakfasts (light and tender hotcakes in Schoolcraft; hearty, delectable buck­ wheats in Olivet) to the e9ertraditional fireworks shows. We go to ox roasts, "canoe races, chicken barbecues, and raffle drawings. We eat homemade pie and ice cream. We watch home grown baseball teams slug it out. I’ve thought at times that we must be a little crazy to actually enjoy the super­ packed days. It is an exhausting weekend for us, not a quiet one with friends and family, but we take particular delight now in being part of each com­ munity’s festivities. We’ve learned to take orange juice thermoses,’ umbrellas, and changes of shoes with us. We have county road and city street maps, and trium­ phantly we -know where the restrooms are in all ten counties. The Fourth of July com­ memorates America’s political heritage, the early efforts of people working together to create, with their own ideas, their skills, and their sacrifices a democratic form of government unknown before in the history of the Western world. The Fourth as we celebrate it in our part of Michigan is a wonderful extension of that idea of people working together in cooperation and goodwill to create a memorable day: — From Nina Wolpe Wife of Congressman Howard Wolpe In Olivet a community parade band came together this year for the first time, former musicians dusting off old instruments, brushing up old skills, and slipping into Levis and “City of Olivet” tshirts. The band was terrific, spiritly in sound and step. Next year it will be bigger and better as others gain courage and join in. In Marshall, where the downtown fountain wears a yellow ribbon in remem­ brance of the Iranian hostages, folks congratulated themselves on a successful community­ wide potluck, and were proud of the unusual statue dedicated that morning to the local founders of Michigan’s public school system in 1834. Last year parents in Augusta designed and built a long water slide for the children on one of the community’s grassy slopes. This year it was even longer. And in Eaton Rapids we’ve cheered on homemade rafts in the river race. We’ve gone from that river island event to the church barbecue, where cooks greet customers with floury hand squeezes and learn newsy tidbits about new babies, Little League scores, and summer vacation plans from family and long-time neighbors and acquaintances. After years of sharing the past and present, these people feel comfortable with each other. There is something especially wonderful about the District’s parades^ routed appropriately along Main Streets, Maple Streets, and ’Cas§’-Streets. I par­ ticularly love the empty Mama, Papa, and Baby folding chairs always lined up along the Schoolcraft parade route by 8:00 in the morning. It’s as if the chairs run out to the curb on their own accord to get the early, choice spots in sunlight or shade. It’s a yearly scene of anticipation for the mid-day gala happening which draws close to 10,000 enthusiasts. Being a Congressman’s wife has given me a new perspective on parades from the inside looking out. One woman called to me as I walked along in Grand Ledge this year, “How are you doing?” “I don’t know yet,” I chattered back, “I’ll tell you at the end of the parade. I’m wearing new shoes.” And in another town we' spotted good friends along the sidewalk. We in­ vited them to walk part of the way with us so that we could visit with them for a minute. So in Washington residents and tourists are given spectator-oriented entertainment, orchestrated from behind the scenes by someone hired to pull 188 switches which ignite 1,100 tons of firework explosives. But across our Michigan District, people participate in creating the everchanging drama and ex­ citement each year, which we and our children will cherish as special memories. Particularly ’ meaningful for me this year was a joyful, free and easy country swing dance in Schoolcraft which we attended. Everyone was having a happy time.

MICHIGAN Nashville, Michigan Eaton Rapids, Michigan Olivet. Michigan �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, July 30. 1980 — Page 4 Memories of the past Caroline Harrington Appelman, dressed in white at extreme left, was a Castleton Township pioneer homemaker, dedicated to caring for her family and others less fortunate. She raised six children to adulthood and throughout her life carried in her apron pocket an antique Bible-shaped marble token as a memento of a son, Ernest La Vern, who had died in infancy. Pictured at a 1906 family reunion at the Appelman home are children, grandchildren, brothers, cousins and other relatives of Caroline and George (with dark suit and beard, seated second chair right of his wife), who settled here in 1865. ... , (Photos loaned courtesy Ethel Miller Allen) By Susan Hinckley Pioneer Caroline Allelman A life story of ‘caring for others’ Caroline Harrington Appelman was a pioneer in the truest sense of the word. She arrived in Castleton Township in 1865 at age 23, four years before the village of Nashville was in­ corporated, and settled with her husband, George Appelman, on a farm north of town on Section 13. There she raised six children (a seventh died in infancy), endured the adversity of those early days to care for her family, yet found time to cheerfully serve others. “She has experienced all the hardships of pioneer life, settling here when nearly all the surrounding country was covered with heavy timber and neighboring towns were unheard of or in their in­ fancy,” noted the Nashville News at Caroline’s death in 1930. “During these years, she often walked many miles to assist at the bedside of some sick or afflicted neigh­ bor or friend, and though she had many cares and hard­ ships of her own, she often has taken less fortunate people into her home and lovingly and tenderly cared for them.” The gift of caring remained with Caroline throughout a long lifetime of giving. “At age 60 she took a little motherless babe (into her home) and for nearly a year cared for it as only a mother could do,” added the News, account of her passing. Caroline had learned early in her life the true meaning of caring. When she was only 13 her mother died leaving her with the care of two brothers. Faithfully she performed the duties of keeping house and lovingly caring for the children and her father at the Harrington family home in Ogden Township of Lenawee County, Michigan. When Caroline married George Appelman, also of Ogden Township, in 1861, the young couple resided in Lenawee County for about two years before settling briefly in Ontario, Canada, prior to their arrival in Castleton Township. “Grandfather was a carpenter by trade,” remembers Ethel Miller Allen, a former local resident now of Hastings and granddaughter of George and Caroline Appelman. “He built the house where they lived (three miles north of Nashville) and helped build the Hosmer School.” Mrs. Allen is the daughter of the late John Miller and Edith Appelman Miller and was named after her mother’s twin sister, Ethel. “Grandmother was very energetic and ambitious,” remembers Mrs. Allen. “She was a fine seamstress and made all the shirts and pants for her boys and also iden­ tical dresses for the twin girls, though she was totally blind in one eye since she was 13 years old.” Caroline had sons Nelson, John, William and Clarence to sew for as well as daughters, Ethel and Edith. Sometimes she sewed by hand, but Mrs. Allen’s recollections are from the early 1900’s when she saw her grandmother sewing on a manually-operated Howe Sewing Machine. Fashioning clothing for her family was only one facet of the multifarious duties facing a pioneer homemaker like Caroline Appelman. In addition to sewing and keeping house, Caroline churned her own butter, always milked one of the cows, raised ducks and chickens, baked all her own bread and desserts, planted a large garden, and har­ vested and preserved the bounty of frutis and vegetables in season. “They had several big apple trees on their place,” recalls Mrs. Allen. “In the fall of the year, you could smell apple cider being boiled down into jelly.” The ladies in the heigh- NOTICE To qualified electors of Vermont­ ville Township, primary election will be held ...

Wednesday, July 30. 1980 — Page 6 Nashville Council discusses buying 'back hoe The regular meeting of the Nashville Village Council last Thursday evening was a brief affair with only three major topics coming up for any substantial amount of discussion. The proposed purchase of a $22,708 back hoe with at­ tachments for the Dept, of Public Works evoked diverse opinions from members of the council, and the matter was referred back to com­ mittee for further study. The number of times per year that the diesel unit, equipped with jack hammer, tamper and sump pump, in addition to standing digging equipment up to a 10-foot depth capacity, was considered by the council. Some expressed the opinion that even if the village were to spend $2,000 annually hiring a back hoe when needed, it would take more than 10 years to equal the amount of the purchase price of the unit. Trustee John Hughes suggested that prices from more than one dealer should have been presented to the council for consideration. “I was under the impression that when we buy a major piece of equipment, we put it up for bids,” Hughes told the council. Trustee Carl Tobias wondered if a back hoe rig could be added to the village’s present tractor. DPW head Leon Frith said that might cost as much as $6,000 and it would be at­ tached to an approximately 7-year-old tractor.

Immunization shots protect children's health Snoopy has been snooping about and has made some rather startling discoveries. He was at the park and saw several Moms and their babies all under a year old, enjoying the balmy summer morning. He paused to listen when he heard one of the Moms ask another Mother if she had Sally’s shots up-todate. Sally’s Mom replied, “I always plan to, but either something happens or I forget that it is Monday. Sally is 11 months old, guess I better go. to the Clinic next month.” Snoopy was so sad when he heard that some Moms and Dads didn’t protect their babbies by getting their shots, that he just turned about and went home.

Refreshments were served at attractively set tables to round out the enjoyable afternoon. Perhaps the greatest joy of the party is the chance it gives the women to renew friendships and converse with neighbors and other acquaintances; and to know that there are people in the community .who care about them, remember them, and want to add a special ray of their own.brand of sunshine into their summer days. Doris Ferris of Battle Creek was one of the ladies who traveled from out of town to attend the festivities. This was her first Sunshine Party in ten years. The very first Sunshine 4^^1.1 eont. from front Party was held July 27, 1938 and declared d a. “splendid success” in a headline of the local newspaper. Sixty-five were present at that first gathering, held in the village chapel. The event served as a vehicle to honor and provide a special program for the town’s elderly and those who were unable to attend church and other community activities. Transportation was thoughtfully provided to the guests who needed rides. At that time, bouquets of flowers were awarded to the women who were 70 years and older and floral remembrances were sent to those who could not attend.

The first party included a program of special music and readings plus refresh­ ments of tea and cake. Six women were part of the planning committee and the success of the event could be measured by the friendly hum ofjoyous conversation, noted a newspaper clipping. The idea for implementing the Sunshine Party was generated by two former local ministers, Rev. J.R. Stein and Rev. C.T. Wheaton. The ministers asked the ladies of the churches to sponsor the event, and the tradition has been part of each summer in Vermontville ever since. Actually, the first Sun­ shine Party was somewhat of a revival of a similar gathering that had been held 45 years earlier (about 1893) by Mr. and Mrs. O.E.

In the Castleton Township race, four incumbent Republicans are seeking re­ election, unopposed. They are Supervisor Justin Cooley, Treasurer Geneva Brumm, and Trustees Donald Pixley and Nelson Rasey. The only contest in Castleton Township will be between Republicans Judith De Groot and Sharon Bishop, both political newcomers, who are seeking the seat being vacated by Castleton Township Clerk Geraldine Long, who is not running for re-election. In Maple Grove Township, three unopposed Republican incumbents are seeking reelection. They are Supervisor Theodore Theodore Me Me Kelvey Kelvey, visor Treasurer Joyce Starring Duane and Trustee Hamilton. In his first bid for political office, Monte Allen is seeking election as a Republican to the trustee seat now held by Richard Bassett, who is not running. As in Castleton Township, the only contest in Maple Grove is between two Republican candidates for the office of township xlerk, a post now held by Mary Jarrard who, after 10 years service, decided not to seek another term. Vying for her seat are political newcomers Dora Chase and Susan Butler. All township seats in this election are for 4-year terms. In order to give local voters a chance to become better acquainted with the “There are no burning questions facing us right now,” he noted. people behind the names on the August 5th ballot, the Maple Valley News is pleased to present the following “Meet the Can­ didates” forum. On the ballot in Castleton Township: 8260 & Penny Supper , AUGUST 2nd Action-Ads NELSON RASEY of Bayne Road, Nashville, is an in­ cumbent Castleton Township Trustee seeking re-election on the Republican slate for a 4-year term. He was first elected to that office in 1978. A native of the Nashville area, Rasey was born on the Bayne Road farm where he now lives and where he has been a lifelong resident. He graduated from Nashville High School in 1938 and at­ tended what is now Central Michigan University at Mt. Pleasant for one year, majoring in Industrial Arts. He is presently engaged in full-time farming, but in earlier years Rasey also worked in an Ionia factory where he was a millwright and for two years was maintenance supervisor. In the late 1940’s, he operated a gas station in Nashville for several years. Rasey was —- elected Director of the Barry County Soil and Water Con­ servations District, serving from 1976 to 1979, and last spring became First Alternate of the Barry County Agricultural and Stabilization Conservation Service. Rasey said he has sought township office because he feels he has something to offer in the line of service to the people. “And it’s a job that needs doing,” added Rasey. “There are not a lot of people interested in doing it.” He feels his two years experience in the post will aid him in the upcoming term, if he is elected.' Rasey’s goals for the township are “just plain good government.” He said he is pretty much satisfied with township government’s present status. JUDITH De GROOT of 8211 Thornapple Lake Road, Nashville, is seeking election to a 4-year term as Castleton Township Clerk, a seat not being sought by outgoing incumbent Geraldine Long.

(Incumbent Clerk Geraldine Long is not seeking re­ election.) Sharon was born in Hastings but reared in Nash­ ville where she graduated from high school in 1961. She is the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Theron Belson. Sharon is married to Herbert Bishop and is the mother of five children: Pam, 16; Tom, IS; Marcia, 13; Kenny, 10; and Randy, 8. Sharon is currently not employed outside her home but has previous work ex­ perience of 3 years in the office of E.W. Bliss Co. in Hastings. Active in Cub Scouts, Sharon has served as secretary - treasurer of the local organization for the past five years and is also a den mother. In addition, she is active in Little League in Nashville and currently serves as vice president of that group. Sharon said she decided to run for the office of clerk when she learned that the post was going to be vacated, and the decision to run was prompted because she felt it was a job she could handle in her home. Sharon says she has set no specific goals for the township if elected, but would like to see more public awareness of the functions of township government. “It would be nice if more people were aware of township government and knew more of what township government does each year,” she said. Sharon noted that in cir­ culating her nominating petition for the clerk's post, she found many citizens who were unaware of the names of their present township officials.

His qualifications also include his knowledge of the town­ ship from a lifetime of residency there, he feels. “I would like to see the (Castleton - Maple Grove Nashville) Fire and Am­ bulance Depts, continue to improve,” commented Me Kelvey, “and see the landfill situation resolved.” Me Kelvey added that he, like nearly everyone, would like to see taxes lowered. “I would also like to see more people attend our township board meetings,” he said. “I wish more would show up to give their ideas.” He added that attendance is quite good at annual meetings.

He cited decisions about highway placement and sewers as significant determiners of local growth, “all too often made by bureaucrats in Lansing and Washington.” He also cited Congressional amendments to the Farmers’ Home Ad­ ministration to expand the scope of loans and grants of Alma State Senator Richard J. Allen Wednesday told a regional conference on Rural Growth that, “Responsible growth in rural communities requires a restructuring of federal and state governmental programs and attitudes to assure that local com­ munities have a major role in determining their own destinies.” Allen gave the welcoming address at the Midwestern Rural Goals Conference on Linkages Between Economic Development Education, a conference sponsored by the mid:Michigan Community.

If all or most of these conditions exist, a fungicide treatment should be made to control white mold. Research at Michigan State University indicates Benomyl (Benlate) is ef­ fective in controlling the disease. It is critical that the first benomyl treatment be made at early to mid bloom. Ifthe wet weather continues, a second application can be made at peak bloom.

Mrs. Wells also owned and operated the former Dairy King in Vermontville for several years. If elected to continue serving as clerk, Mrs. Wells says she is willing to work for the people. And, she cities her ability to work with the public and the experience she has gained in volunteer service as her qualifications for the job. When she heard that the remainder of Mrs. Hoefler’s term was going to be open, Mrs. Wells said, “I thought this would be a good way to learn more about how things are done in the township.” Mrs. Wells said she “will do the best job I can to work with the other board members to help achieve what is best for the township. One person can not change things, we will need to work as a team.” Janice Baker is making her first bid for election to public office with her can­ didacy for the township clerk’s position. She is a 1952 graduate of Vermontville High School and has been a resident of the township 33’4 years. Mrs. Baker, a homemaker, and her husband Elon reside at 470 E. Main in Vermontville.

She comments that she started Girl Scouts in Vermontville in 1966 and served as a leader for 11 years. Presently she continues in the program as a service unit director. Ten years of service to the Vermonville Syrup Festival Association is another af­ filiation. She served two years as treasurer of that organization. Mrs. Baker was the treasurer of the local PTO group for two years and has been president of the garden club. She says she decided to run in the upcoming election because “I am interested in the township and the people of the township.” Mrs. Baker lists these qualifications she feels will help her in township duties, if elected: “I know the people. I am a long-time resident.. honest.. reliable. ’ ’ Incumbent Township Treasurer Jane Thrun is being challenged by Bonnie June Hoyt. Both are Republicans. Jane Thrun has been the township’s treasurer for 16 years. A native of Vermontville, Mrs. Thrun has spent all of her 60 years as a resident here.

A member of the Congregational Church, Mrs. Thrun also is affiliated with the Vermontville Woman’s Club. She notes that she wants to continue to be of service to the people of the township and adds that she enjoys meeting people and talking to them. “I feel that I am aware of the problems facing the township and being township treasurer for 16 years...” constitute her qualifications, she said. As far as improvements to the township, Mrs. Thrun said, “The township is limited as to what it can do because of finances. The most important thing is to keep the township buildings in good repair. The equip­ ment must also be kept in good shape, to assure the people of the township that they get the most for their tax dollar.” If re-elected, she said she would like to help the township improve roads, keep the fire department and ambulance service up-todate, and keep the opera house and fire barn in repair. Bonnie June Hoyt has been a resident of the township for 14 years and is presently employed at Auto Owners Insurance Company' where she has worked for four years. Mrs. Hoyt also was an employee at the insurance company from 1964 to 1968. She resides at 353 E. Main and is married to M. Jon and they have three children: Ron, 13; Randy, 10; and Renee, 7. Mrs. Hdyt, was bom in Charlotte, -the daughter of Robert and Irene VanLien, and graduated from Everett High School. She attends Vermontville Bible Church. Her decision to become a candidate in the upcoming election involves her belief that “younger people need a voice in their community. We need more younger people to get involved with community needs and projects. “I feel that new people in local govenment jvill have new perspectives on both old and new issues. I feel that I can bring new ideas to the office,” said the candidate. Mrs. Hoyt says her high school advanced booking and business courses and ex­ perience with managing her family budget will help her serve as township treasurer, if elected. “I am willing to learn how to make my job help make the community a better place to benefit everyone,” she said. • On the subjects of im­ provements in township government, Mrs. Hoyt said, “I feel that the township should publicize the wants and needs of the people who reside in the township. The board should attempt to involve the citizens in the running of the board. A special newsletter once a month with news of interest to township residents would be helpful.” Continued next page— �There are three Republican candidates in the race for two township trustee seats.

It sighed that that piece of American life has all but disappeared. But it takes looking beyond the Potomac River to towns like Albion, Nashville, Portage where local bands with names like “Sweet Corn” and “Whiskey Rum” tune up to “A” for sing alongs, dances, and con­ certs.

Trouble indicated by lodged corn in county The .Eaton County Cooperative Extension has detected corn rootworm larvae in the county and urges growers to keep a close watch over their fields. The rootworms are a problem where corn follows corn in the rotation, and no soil insecticide was used at planting. Allen Krizek, County Extension Director, says the late planting of some corn fields means that these fields may be silking at the time of adult emergence and subject to grain set injury. The adult rootworm beetles feed oh the silks and prevent kernal development. Corn rootworm damage can now be detected by checking fields for lodged corn. The larvae tunnel and prune the roots of corn thereby weakening its standing ability. Krizek advises growers to take no action now, but to wait till the time of silking. If 4-5 rootworm beetles per ear can be detected, a foliar insecticide should be ap­ plied. Corn should not be planted in the infected field the following year. times for steam i canners questioned? j *Preserving 4 The New Steam canners for acid foods use small amounts of water and steam (NOT pressure) in place of the water bath method in which cans are covered with boiling - water for a prescribed period. Sharon Kennedy, MSU Specialist, warns that the processing times given by their manufacturers are not adequate to'kill yeasts and molds which cause acid foods to spoil. This in­ formation came from a pilot study recently reported at the Institute of Food Technologists. “When considering equipment for food preservation, we recom­ mend pressure canners for all low-acid foods and a water bath above the tops of the jars for acid foods,” says Ann Ross, Eaton County Extension Home Economist. All home canned foods need processing to prevent spoilage. It is easy, fun and economical to learn safe methods for preserving food for future use. County woman to preside over state homemakers group Mrs. Marian Tirrell, was elected recently to serve as president of the Michigan Association of Extension Homemakers. Marian and her husband Jack, are a well known farming family in the Charlotte area. Being President of a statewide organization of about 10,000 members will involve working closely with Michigan State University’s Cooperative Extension Service leaders - especially Dr. Doris Wetters and other Family Living program leaders. The Extension Homemakers have long been an important part of the outreach for the Family Living Program.. Marian is an active member of the Carmel Extension Homemakers club, and has held county, area, and state offices with the Extension Homemakers. She recently was one of a group to go with Extension Director Gordon Guyer to Washington D.C. in support of Extension programs.

Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin. He said he had read with interest the recent Memories article about runaway horses. “I have among my keepsakes a copy of the Nashville News for Saturday, Sept. 18,1880,” wrote Meade. “On its front page is an article headed Frightful Runaway.” He noted that it was about a horse that ran away as it was being driven by his grand­ mother, Hannah Blaisdell Robinson, from Nashville to the family farm northwest of town. “The horse became frightened at a new fly net it was wearing,” continued Meade. “It ran out of control down Middle Street on to Reed Street, smashed the buggy and broke Grand­ mother’s leg.” According to the News account, Mrs. Robinson received treat­ ment for the injury from a Dr. Young. Meade kindly offered to send us a Xerox copy of that story. Another reader who ex­ pressed appreciation for the recent Memories article on runaways was Mrs. Gayion (Marie) Fisher of Nashville. She found the name of her grandfather, John Snore, in that piece. It was his team that staged the spectacular 1908 runaway down Washington Street, starting at the Appelman store on Main and proceeding east at a hectic pace and damaging house and yards en route. The wagon was partly demolished, the harness was ruined, and one of the horses was severely injured in the process. Marie said she remembers her grandfather was noted for always owning a sharp looking team, highly admired by others. Thanks to Kenneth Meade and Marie Fisher for sharing their own special memories with us. Readers* comments on any of the Memories stories are always welcome.

Wednesday, August 6, 1960 — Page 4 Summer season brought many events in the early 1900’s The dog days of summer in turn-of-the-century Nash­ ville provided boundless tales of seasonal events to be recorded in the local News. July and August were traditional months for family reunions, church outings, political rallies, soldier encampments, and Nashville’s Farmers’ Picnic and, later, Harvest Festival. It was a time for tending gardens, garnering crops of fresh fruits and vegetables, and starting the harvest of grain. Dog days meant long hours in the hot sun for area far­ mers, but the season also brought boating, swimming, fishing, ,and barefoot youngsters scampering down parched village streets in pursuit of the ice wagon. ‘ The season called for train excursions, circus wagons, and street sprinklers to lay the dust. It was a time of baseball, bowery dances, and homechurned ice cream. A few excerpts gleaned from yellowing pages of the early Nashville News convey the flavor and feel of the lazy days of summers long ago. Gardens to tend and crops to harvest were part of July and August dog days for early Nashville residents. Wielding the hoe here is M. L. Munson, proprietor of a confectionary and ice cream parlor -on North Main (now site of north portion of Hecker bldg.). Later ice cream parlors were run by David Kunz, Charles Diamante, and others. Some early Nashville drug stores also had soda bars. John Miller's horse-drawn ice wagon, left, was a familiar summer sight on Nashville streets from 1912 to the early 40's, as he made home deliveries of lake ice cut in the winter and stored in sawdust. Barefoot youngsters tagged along, hoping to catch a thirst-quenching sliver of ice. Besides early refrigeration, ice was used to make homemade ice cream, being churned here in early 20 s by John's son, Clarence, near the Miller home on Philadelphia St. Watching are sister Marie and brother Lloyd.

The day was not marred by a single accident or drunk. VOTE FOR August 13, 1900... The immense peach crop this year has resulted in ex­ tremely low prices.

Farmers in this vicinity complain of not being able to hire sufficient help for harvesting their wheat, and say many tons of hay were lost for the same reason.

Wednesday, August 6, 1980 — Page 6 at your service A taste of the country market in downtown Nashville pop, nut mixes, cheese, ceramic items, and a host of other goods. The owners hope to offer a few more grocery staples in the future too. A special feature — and one the children are enjoying — is the option ofbuying just one apple, peach, or plum etc. or as many as desired.. The same principle applies for baked good — buy one donut or one cookie or dozens. The bakery goods are fresh from the kitchens of its parent store. Each day, Mrs. Jordon bakes an array of delicious breads and other treats. The Jordons grow some of the vegetables that they sell... off ering a “fresh from the garden” selection. The two businesses have become a family project, says Mrs. Jordon. Son “Little Country Corners” is'the newest business in downtown Nashville. The new store is located at 119 N. Main. It’s the off­ spring of Country Corners Farm Market, based two miles north of Nashville at M-66 and State Rd.. The Country- Corners enterprises are owned by Mr. and Mrs. Ahmo Jordon and the newest business was designed as a convenience service, stocking similar items that are available in the original store. Mrs. Jordon said the idea behind Little Country Cor­ ners was especially geared to make shopping convenient for the community’s older citizens who like to walk downtown to shop. Little Country Corners offers fresh fruits and vegetables, fresh baked goods, hot sandwiches, milk, Michael Huston runs the -Little Country Corners with the help of Ruby Ball. This is the third season for the original Country Corners Farm Market. The new store opened July 5 in the 85-year-old building thatt formerly housed formerly Ackett’s Country Store. Little Country Corners is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday.. Hours of the main store are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 10:30-3:30 on Sunday. The Jordan’s have been remodeling and painting the new store and have many plans and further improvements in the works. In the meantime, the entire family is pleased with the “teriffic response” their new business has brought, said Mrs. Jordon. Little Country Corners, located in downtown Nashville, is the offspring of Country Corners Farm Market which is two miles north of town. Mr. and Mrs. Ahmo Jordan are the owners of the family project. Little Country Corners provides an interesting and convenient shopping experience, with a wall of cubby-holes filled with a vaiety of items.

This upcoming year, for example in Algebra I, the classes have 35, 37 and 38, and in Algebra II, 38. The students who have signed up for these courses have had past success in math and hope to continue; and many need three to four years of math for their career (dans. Put yourself in the shoes of one of these students. You can expect less than one minute^ of help from the teacher during the class period. You will have to get to class early so you can get a chair. You are going to be sitting elbow to elbow. The situation as it stands now is not going to be en­ joyable and is not going to be conducive to much learning. It is too bad that we have to thwart these students en­ thusiasm for such an im­ portant area with such crowded conditions. I have always tried to help students as much as possible w with their e math courses. I have spentt many hours before and after school tutoring and encouraging students with their math. I feel that if a student can have success in math, that he or she has many careers open to them. I have been pushing and encouraging students to continue in math. Now, I can’t continue to honestly and knowingly ask students too par suens participate cpa .in such a bad “learning ex­ perience.” I really don’t know what can be done about this problem because I know times are hard and I know k staff cuts have to be made to meet the budget, and this means larger classes. I wrote this letter because I really don’t believe that the public is aware of what is really happening. Very concerned teacher, Charles Lee Tait 280W.

The first publication can help the person analyze why he-she wants to go into farming and how much time and energy he-she will need to put into it. It also points out that farmers need good management skills and must accept competitiveness. And it explains how to match what the farmer wants to grow with the business aspects of farm operation. The second booklet deals with access to land and entry into farming by a son or daughter who takes over the home farm. Communication between the generations is the key to successful far­ ming arrangement. Decisions have to be worked out together, and a shared desire to make the business work is essential.

A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative STRIKE VETO - Governor Milliken has again vetoed a proposal to allow public employees to strike. Although he did not oppose that specifically, he objected to a provision ex­ tending binding arbitration to all public employees to resolve disputes. NO DISASTER? President Carter has rejected the Governor’s request for an Emergency Declaration following the violent thunderstorms which hit Michigan in mid-July. A Declaration would have helped local governments get federal repair help. > ABORTION VETO - Consistent with his earlier actions, Governor Milliken has vetoed the latest set of restrictions of the use of Medicaid funds for abortions, contained in HB 4473. A new bill is now needed to fund the programs which are affected. DEFICIT DILEMMA Management and Budget Department officials are exploring possible ways to eliminate a budge deficit for the 1980-81 fiscal year which may be as high as $120 million. Such a deficit would be un­ constitutional. Options being considered, are a change in Medicaid accounting; eliminating some tax exemptions; and a four-day work week for state employees. LOCAL LOANS - Governor Milliken has signed into law SB 1190, which creates a local emergency financial assistance loan fund to be used to aid financially-troubled cities hurt by loss of business and industry. The loan fund board can not authorize more than $1 million to any single municipality nor more than $5 million total in any state fiscal year. NOT DEDUCTIBLE - The Attorney General has ruled that employers cannot make a deduction from their workers’ wages when processing a court-ordered wage assignment: a law enacted by the legislature in 1978 expressly prohibits an employer from deducting part of a worker’s salary to pay the cost of processing a wage assignment. HAPPY TRAILS Another new law has increased snowmobile registration fees to $15 from $9. All of the extra $6 will go into a snowmobile trail-improvement fund. The DNR is now accepting applications from clubs and organizations for grants to develop trails next winter. FOOD BILL - Although prices are going up all the time, the U.S. Agriculture Department says that today’s average family food bill is only 17 percent of disposable income vs. 23 percent in 1951. The average family eats about 2.5 tons of food each year, including a half-ton of vegetables. CATTLE CROP - Other economic indicators may be down, but the July inventory of Michigan cattle totaled 1.43 million head; this is 10 percent above last year and 6 percent higher than July of 1978. This is more than double the national rate of increase. �tqe MostBeautiful Da^ of ^our Isife start with thefinest WEDDING STATIONERY choose from our selection of • WEDDING INVITATIONS • WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENTS • THANK YOU CARDS • RECEPTION CARDS • NAPKINS • WEDDING MATCHES • ACCESSORIES Sample books may be taken out overnight for selection at your convenience remmlef �The Maple Valley News, Nashville.

World War II had ended with the surrender of Japan. In Nashville, news of the event set off a spontaneous all-night jubilation that outdid even the the famed local hoopla which had marked the end of the first World War on November 11, 1918. Word of that earlier peace had triggered an impromptu parade down Nashville’s Main Street with an effigy of deposed German monarch “Kaiser Bill” towed behind a huge white steed. But even greater revelry was ignited when news of the Japanese surrender reached the village in 1945. The long conflict was over. “Nashville celebrated the end of the war Tuesday night with an abandon that sur­ passed Armistice Day 27 years ago,” observed the Nashville News in its August 16, 1945 issue. For nearly half an hour after the official news of the complete surrender of Japan was broadcast from Washington, D.C., local residents appeared to take the good news quietly. “Then at 7:35 p.m. the fire siren sounded, the Nashville Dairy’s steam whistle shrilled and a few shotguns were fired off somewhere on the South Side,” noted the News account. “Minutes later, the most hilarious impromptu celebration in the. history of our town was under way.” Soon,\ Main Street was lined with spectators. Parading up and down the thoroughfare were back­ firing autos, boys on bicycles towing clattering tin pans, and all sorts of vehicles full of cheering passengers. The din of auto horns continued far past dark. The roar was drowned out from time to time by the scream of the fire siren, as someone kept sneaking back to the fire station to press the button. “Probably many cities outdid Nashville in celebrating the end of the most awful war in the world’s history,” commented News editorpublisher Don Hinderliter, “but none ofthem could have surpassed Our Town in HOMEMAKERS!

(On August 10, the Japanese government had made overtures for peace by inquiring into the fate of Emporer Hirohito if Japan should unconditionally surrender to the Allies.) When news of the actual surrender was received the evening of August 14, many local residents suddenly began to develop a celebrating mood several hours later. “Lights burned in many a Nashville home after midnight,” observed the News, “and the sound of revelry waged up and down the streets.” In many homes, however, news of the war’s end brought only a solemn thanksgiving. “While the gay throngs crowded the ' sidewalk in front of Central Park, the community honor roll nearby stood out as a reminder of the nine Nashville men who have died in service and of the scores still far from home,” noted the News. By the same token, many homes were gladdened by the announcement from Washington, close on the heels of the surrender flash, that over 5 million men still overseas would be home in 12 to 18 months. The United States aes governmen government had a aso also announced that selective services requirements would be cut from an approximate 80,000 troops per month to 50,000.. Shortly after releasing the great news of the surrender, President Truman had said, “Our nation ' now faces another emergency, as great as it has ever faced.” ' He added that he was confident the American people would come through as they had in the past. After Nashville’s all-night Tuesday celebration of peace, practically every place ofbusiness in town was closed Wednesday. The post office opened, but closed aat 10 a.m. for cose or thee balance of the day. Rural mail carriers took the day off. “The Nashville News went to press as usual Wednesday noon,” concluded the local account of V-J Day, “but the edition could not be entered at the post office until Thursday morning.” In that edition, for posterity, the News had vividly recorded an historic day that will live in memories for years to corned Memories of V-J Day are closely linked to this Honor Roll which graced Nashville's Central Park during World War II. (The old Flo Theater can be seen at right. The local Lions started the project of erecting an honor roll, but the village footed the bill for most of the material and lettering of names by a Battle Creek sign painter. During the war, he made some four or five additions to the list. Eventually, to accomodate the ever-expanding roster of local citizens serving in the armed forces, wings had to be added to the board about 1944. In this scene, 279 names are visible. By the time V-J Day arrived, nine had been marked by gold Stars.

Another 17 had tentative agreements, while about 200 districts were still negotiating. CAR SALE - July auto sales in Michigan more than doubled from June levels as a result of the one-month “tax holiday” on new cars: July sales tax receipts at 2 percent were $13.5 million, while June receipts at 4 percent were only $12.9 million. TAX PROPOSALS - It’s important to start reviewing now the four tax proposals for the November ballot: an income­ tax increase to 4.7 from 4.6 percent to pay for new prisons; and^the Coalition, Smith-Bullard, and Tisch property-tax reform-relief plans. ELECTION RESULTS - Following last week’? primary election, there will be five parties on the statewide ballot this fall: Republican; Democratic; Anderson Coalition; Citizens’ Party; and Libertarian. In most areas only the two major parties will have local candidates. Of the 100 House members running for re-election, only two (Democrats) were defeated in the primary. CONTINUING CUTS - The House and Senate Ap­ propriations Committees have continued to work during the summer recess to review recommendations by the Governor on where to make the necessary cuts so that the 1980-81 budget will balance. Recent discussion has centered on Mental Health, Corrections (prisons), Social Services, and K-12 education programs. It is a difficult choice. TIME OFF? - Governor Milliken has urged state em­ ployees to voluntarily take time off without pay in an effort to minimize the need for state-government layoffs during the coming year. Employees will receive leave-time credit in return for unpaid days. If enough workers do this voluntarily, there will be little need for forced layoffs if the budget crisis worsens. OPEN TRIALS - The Michigan Supreme Court, following U.S. Supreme Court guidelines, has ruled that a criminal trial may not be closed to the public and the press except in extraordinary circumstances such as those which might compromise a defendant’s right to a fair trial. LOAN VETO - The Governor has vetoed HB 5744 and 5795, which would have required the Treasury Department to provide loans to local school districts which need money for operating expenses. He said this option should be open only for districts which have an actual fiscal deficit. COURT LOAD - The number of cases filed with our Supreme Court in the judicial year ending June 30 was up by 19 percent over the 1978-79 year and 244, percent over the 1968-69 year. Of the current casetf filed, 1,093 were on criminal matters and 757 were civil cases. placed 4th in Pleasure, 9th in Horsemanship and 6th in Showmanship, on his quarter horse.

He golfed with two friends at Mulberry Fore and scored the first hole-inone ever recorded on the new course located on Nashville’s north side. Roberts is a novice golfer by his own admission. Wednesday was his first time on Mulberry Fore and was approximately only the tenth time he has ever golfed in his life. “I never made a hole-inone until after the 50th,” quipped Roberts, referring to the recent golden wedding anniversary he and his wife, Virginia, celebrated. His lucky shot came on the par-3 third hble, a distance of 205 yards. Several eyewitnesses in addition to the Roberts party saw the ball land near the edge of the green and roll neatly into the cup. With Roberts was an Ohio friend, John Steinmatz, and Al Van Antwerp of Grand Ledge. Another party of Nashville players was nearby and observed the record-setting incident. For his feat of sinking the first hole-in-one on the new course, Roberts was awarded a check Wednesday by Bill Hecker, proprietor of Mulberry Fore. “Many folks have golfed 30 or 40 years and never made a hole-in-one,” commented Hecker, who admits that in a lifetime of playing golf he has never been so lucky. Robert’s name will be forwarded by Jfecker to a national golfing association which will award Roberts an arm patch denoting his scoring accomplishment. Nashville Little League The boys finished their season with tournaments the week of August 4. Winner of the Pee Wee tournament was Lacey’s team coached by Ken Stroh­ m. Little League tournament winner was Nashville Locker’s team coached by James Ferrier. Congratulations to both teams!

Roy Roberts, right, received a congratulatory check Wednesday from Bill Hecker, proprietor of Mulberry Fore, after scoring the first hole-in-one ever recorded on the new golf course in Nashville. It was Robert's first time on the Mulberry Fore course and only about the 10th time he'd ever golfed in his life.

Arbor Day Foundation encourages organizations to sell "bulbs For the first time, the National Arbor Day Foun­ dation is making it possible for organizations to sell fall­ planting Dutch bulbs as a fund-raising project. Tulips, daffodils, narcissi, dutch irises, hyacinths, and crocuses will be available through the program. Youth and school groups, clubs, churches and other organizations can sell bulbs in their community to raise money for their activities, and the Foundation will mail the bulbs directly to the customers’ homes. The local sponsoring organization never has to handle the bulbs, according to the Foundation. The Arbor Day Foun­ a dation, nonprofit organization, is working to improve the quality of life in communities throughout the country by encouraging beautification projects. “Bulbs from Holland are a unique fund-raising idea. The flowers will give a colorful spring accent to the trees and other greenery in the community.

Rejuvenate petunias with a haircut Taking the hedge shears to your straggly petunias sounds like a pretty drastic step. But it’s a good way to rejuvenate them into dramatic bloom. This tip comes from Allen Krizek, Eaton County Ex­ tension Director. He advises whacking off the straggly growth, cleaning up dead or dying foliage, pulling any encroaching weeds and fertilizing with one pound of 5-10-5 per 100 square feet of flower bed. Though the thought of wasting a whole bed of \ flowers can be kind of scary, the results are worth the initial uncertainty. Cutting the plants back to 3 to 4 in­ ches tall, leaving just a stub or two of stem and some foliage, in effect startles them into a surge of new groth. They produce a lot of branches and, after two to four weeks, loads of flowers that last until frost kills the plants.

Incumbent Mary Jarrard did not run. Other tallies from Tuesday’s primary are as follows: Castleton Township — Justin Cooley, Supervisor, 86; Geneva Brumm, Treasurer, 87; Donald Pixley,* Trustee, 76; and Nelson Rasey, Trustee, 62. Maple Grove Township — Ted Me Kelvey, Supervisor, 98; Joyce Starring, Treasurer, 98; Duane Hamilton, Trustee, 98; and Monte Allen, Trustee, 49. All candidates except for the clerk’s post in each township and one trustee seat in Maple Grove were incumbents. Allen, the Republican candidate for the post now held by trustee Richard Bassett, is a newcomer to the political scene. Bassett did not seek re-election. All township posts are for 4-year terms. A millage issue to support the Castleton - Maple Grove - Planning a 'heap big' time— Indian Pow Wow set for August 16 and 17 Nashville fire and ambulance departments was approved by voters in each township Tuesday. Maple Grove had sought a 1-mill renewal and Castleton has asked for a three-quarter mill increase for five,~years. Actually, the amount sought in Castleton represented a reduced renewal of a currentlyexpired millage for that purpose. Specifically, the millage issue provides in Castleton 0.5 mills for fire equipment and 0.25 mills for ambulance equipment and operation. The issues passed 81-41. In Maple Grove, voters approved 94-28 a 1-mill renewal for five years for fire and ambulance equip­ ment and for maintenance, housing and operation of that equipment. • NOTICE • Several organizers of the They will resume at 7 p.m. upcoming Indian Pow Wow and last well into the early at Cornwell’s Turkey Farm hours of the next day.

To the parents who lead, participate and give their support. To the parents that take an interest in their children by encouraging rather than discouraging them. To the ones that spend time working with their children, time to do the things THEY want once in a while. To you parents I, along with your children, say THANKS. To the parents who don’t get involved, to the ones that do little but criticize leaders, coaches, organizers. To the parents who when asked to participate, refuse and have many, many excuses, I offer my regrets. For you people have lost the meaning of being a parent. You critize situations you are unfamiliar with, you critize situations you may have prevented but chose not to get involved. You often discourage your children by not offering your confidence in their ability to accomplish simple goals. Instead you blame the coach or leader for not fullfilling your responsibility. As parents we have to understand our children’s needs. We need to get in­ volved in the organizations and programs they wish to be in, no matter how small of a part we play. We need to work together to make these organizations and programs Thank youfor your support in the Primary elec­ tion and I hope to have your continued support in Nov.

When you realize that as parents we spend less than one-third of our time with our children, you can understand the need to take interest. It is nice that in a great country such as ours we still have the opportunity to do this. If you are one of the parents I am speaking about, next time you’re asked to participate, don’t use all the lame excuses you have in the past but do your part and help. There are many positions to be filled in scouting, 4-H, and Baseball for next year. I ask on behalf of our children that you come out and help.

A special election has been set for Monday, September 29 to request voter approval for an increase of three mills ($3 on each $1,000 of state equalised valuation) for one year. A similar millage proposal was defeated by voters in June. Petitions bearing the signatures of 278 persons were presented to the Maple Valley Board of. Education last month requesting another millage election. The petition drive had been organized by Larry Filter. In obtaining signatures, the drive succeeded in surpassing the minimum five percent of the district’s registered voters which are required to call a special election. The- board, in complying with school code that a special election be called within 60 days of .receiving the petitions, set the date for the September special election at its regular meeting August 11. School officials say the additional funds for operating purposes are necessary if the school district is going to be able to offer an educational program similar to the past school year. Considering the fact that the State of Michigan isn’t able to make full state aid payments and isn’t able to provide adequate dollars to finance education, it will most likely be necessary to OO Another busy summer is coming to a close. School shopping is taking a priority over fun in the sun these days as parents and youngsters pick out new outfits and spruce up old ones' for another year of service. It’s time to start thinking of football games and PTO meetings. School bells in the Maple Valley district are ten­ tatively set to ring in a full day of school on Tuesday, August 26. Buses are being readied to roll again and drivers are reminded to stop well behind a bus that has stopped to load and unload children. Inside the school buildings, custodians are polishing floors and putting classrooms in order. This new school year’s crop of seniors will be eagerly awaiting graduation day; while for the most part the kindergarten kids who will comprise the class of 1993 can’t wait to get started. Lockers and schedules for Junior and Senior High School students are now available at the high school office from 8 a.m. to 12 noon and from 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. during week days. New students should also enroll and register for classes. eliminate some programs even with the approval of the millage, according to a statement from the school. The board members ap­ proved the state aid debt retirement reimbursement application form under Section 27 of the state aid act which would enable the school district to receive funds amounting to ap­ proximately $36,661 which would be applied toward the payment of principal and interest on the 1963 bond debt. The total principal and interest will amount to ap­ proximately $78,783 this school year depending upon the exact amount of service charges. State department personnel have informed school administrators and board members that it is very possible that section 27 will be eliminated from the state aid act this year which will mean that these funds will not be available to schools. , General fund bills in the amount of $28,263.65 were approved for payment. The July 25th payroll in the amount of $14,486.73 and the August 8th payroll in the amount of $12,918.79 were approved for payment and transfer to the payroll ac­ count. Superintendent Wolff reported that .the August state aid in the amount of $203,315.58 had been received and deposited in the general fund. He also stated that this payment showed a deduction of $26,302.25 for the Governor’s executive state aid cut. The board members ac­ cepted the bid from Lockshore Farms to supply milk for the coming school year at a cost of .129 for white milk and .137 for chocolate milk. Lockshore also included an escalator clause depending upon the cost of raw milk. The bid from Kent Oil Company to supply gasoline at a cost of $104.9 for regular and $108.9 for lead free gasoline was also accepted; A two cent per gallon discount is allowed from established tank wagon price. Price of gasoline may vary during the school year. Approval was given the family income criteria as related to the National School Lunch Act covering free or reduced price meals or milk. An increase of 5 cents was approved in the cost of lunches served to help offset increased cost of operation. Elementary student lunches will cost 55 cents, Jr.-Sr. high school lunches will cost 60 cents, and adult lunches wilt be $1.05. Milk alone for students will be 10 cents and for adults 20 cents. Band director Roy Johnson was at the meeting and a short discussion was held regarding him handling the high school choir in addition to continuation of the fifth grade band in-ad­ dition to the other band' assignments. It was decided that the fifth grade band program would continue, and Mr. Johnson would also have the high school choir along with the other bands.

Wednesday, August 20. 1980 — Page 3 From our readers FROM OUR READERS Having read the letter from Mr. Taitin the August 6 issue of the Maple Valley News, I felt the urge to write a letter too, but first I talked with several of my former students and parents of former students and they encouraged me to write. I taught school 46 years. The last 26 years were spent in Nashville and Maple Valley School and I have been retired 9 years. I, too, was concerned about the size of my classes. In Nashville, I taught Algebra 1, 2, Geometery, General Math and 8th Grade Michigan History. I had 35-40 students in many classes. Few classes had less than 35 students. Of course, we had chairs enough and everybody had a certain seat. They weren’t crowded. At Maple Valley I was Jr. High Coordinator and taught 7th Grade Michigan History and Math. Classes were a bit smaller but I usually had a roomful of at least 35 students in each class. We gave an Algebra Readiness test in the *8th Grade in the spring so the students would know their chances of understanding Algebra the next year. I reached school in the morning at 7:30 7:45, brought my lunch and left % hour after school closed. I was always available for help if the students needed it. Noon seemed to be a good time when students with problems would consult me for help, especially students who rode the bus. When we had final tests at the end of the semester, if a test came 3rd hour, I would allow them to work into noon hour on the test and if the test came 6th hour, I would stay after school sometimes until 6 o’clock for them to ment cut back previously appropriated funding. After attending the school board meeting on August 11, I believe that I have a clearer understanding as to where the Board stands on issues. I firmly believe that there is indeed a shortage of funds. Though I do not agree with all the cuts being proposed, I nonetheless feel that the Maple Valley Board of Education is doing the best they can under such circumstances. How long are we going to stand by and watch our children pay for our economic difficulties? Please get out and support the millage revote on Sep­ tember 29. Andrew T.

Inside house, the farmer's wife and helpers were preparing prodigious meals, "cooking for threshers." (Photo loaned, courtesy Phillip Garlinger) By Susan Hinckley Local harvests of long ago . . (Author’s note: Last October we presented a story, filled with memories of threshing with a steam engine in the early 1920’s. The material was largely contributed by the late Howard Brumm from his personal experiences. Arduous labor on the threshing rig was often lightened by a special camaraderie shared by the crew, as Brumm’s colorful tales revealed. Each annual harvest was also duly recorded by the Nashville News keeping tabs on the garnering and marketing of crops. Here, for the pleasure of present-day readers, we present several excerpts of z those early accounts that traced the local harvest of wheat for readers of long ago.) July 14, 1877 ...

Later, H. A. Brooks took Richard Townsend into the business, but that partnership was dissolved in 1901 when Brooks sold his interest to Townsend.

Wednesday, August 20, 1980 — Page 5 Sewing magic” presentation slated for county By Nan'cy Diuble, Ext. 4-H Youth Agent “You are about to start an exciting journey into the world of magic — sewing magicl I’m not going to perform Houdini’s illusions, but rather will show you tricks you can pull out of your sewing basket and some sewing machine sewmanship,” says Nancy Zieman, professional home economist, as she begins her newest sewing demonstration called “Sewing Magic”. The 3-hour sewing demonstration is being sponsored by the Eaton County 4-H and Family Living Extension Programs. “Sewing Magic” workshops will be presented on two occasions Wednesday, September 10, at Kardel Hall, located in the 4-H Building on the 4-H Fairgrounds in Charlotte. The first is scheduled that day from 1 to 4 p.m. and the same demonstration will be presented from 7 to 10 p.m; The cost is $3.25 and is open to the public. Persons planning to attend should pre-register and pay the fee at the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service, 126 N, Bostwick, Charlotte, MI 48813; phone 543-2310, by September 3. At the time of pre-registration, please indicate the session attending. In the demonstrations, Ms. Zieman shows how to “switch seams” in patterns so they seem to ‘ ‘disappear’ ’. She continues on with other sewing magic techniques which can be adapted for either knit or woven fabrics. Besides showing that many sewing magic samples, Nancy models her coor- dinated wardrobe as she demonstrates the sewing magic techniques used in making it. A portion of her program is spent on showing quick and easy pattern alterations. Instead of using the traditional slashing and folding of a pattern, she shows ready-to-wear methods of pivoting and sliding. With these methods, Nancy shows how to alter a pattern in just minutes, using no more than ordinary household wax paper and a tracing wheel.

If you would like to become a sponsor on this page, call 945-9554 J-Ad Graphics, Inc., Hastings Speaking about grammar, the apostle Paul spoke about some grammatical errors in the Scripture. Let's open our 'Text Book' the Bible to the New Testament to the Book of Galations, the second chapter and the 20th verse. Here Paul said "I am Trowbridge Service - AUTO SERVICE CENTER - crucified with Christ; nevertheless I live, yet not I 130 S. Main St., Vermontville but Christ liveth in me.'' One of the major 'gram­ matical' mistakes Christians are prone to make 726-0569 has to do with pronouns: they rely on the first WE BUY HAY & STRAW in the field HAY AND STRAW PRODUCER AND BROKER 6620 E. Scott Rd. Nashville/Ml. 49073 (517)852-0959 Custom Baling BANK and TRUST Nashville Branch person - "I", rather than on the third person 'he'. It is not 'I' that lives but 'He' (Christ) lives in me. Another mistake is in number: limiting God to the Singular rather than recognizing His limitless plurality. In I John 4:4 he says "Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world." The singular in witnessing will fail, the singular in WOLEVER’S REAL ESTATE temptation will fail and the singular in life will fail. But God and you make a majority in any situation and you with God cannot fail. "I can do ALL THINGS through Christ which strengtheneth EzLSiE E.’ WOLEVER broker (5171726-0637 RES me." Philippians 4:13. Still another grammatical problem is one of tense, (not the tense you feel on the first day of school, as-in nervous tension) but in relying on the past tense or the future tense, instead of on the present tense. Many people try to live in the past tense, either being guilt ridden with old sins they should HECKER Insurance 225 N.

Nashville Council meets Tuesday to consider plans for 80 acre site housing project by Lansing investors by Susan Hinckley The Nashville Village Council Ivill meet in special session starting at 8 p.m. Tuesday evening to consider a potential 80-acre residential and multi-family housing development by Lansing area investors. The project was briefly outlined for village officials at their regular meeting Thursday by Ron Reece of Spadafore Realty of East Lansing. The parcel of land under consideration lies along Brumm Road, near the village’s northeast boundary and is adjacent to the new lagoon - and - irrigation wastewater treatment facility expected to be constructed within the next year as part of Nashville’s $4.8 million sewer expansion program. “I am working with in­ vestors who are interested in using "this property for development, ” said Reece. He said the investors are considering building a mixture of duplex, multiple, ancLsingle family units. “We think the demand is here,” said Reece. He suggested that the multiple family units might be built bor­ dering the roadway and the area behind those structures later developed for single family homes, with streets and sidewalks. “The first phase of the project would be to meet needs of the community withmultiple family housing,” commented Reece. If the project can be developed under the Section ' 8 plan of the Farmers Home Administration, the rental units might be subsidized for qualified low and medium income persons, he noted. Reece estimated Thursday that it might require bet­ ween $135,000 and $150,000 to run municipal sewer and water service lines to the property, provided a direct line could be run from the new treatment facility when it is completed. Reece inquired Thursday how the village could help with the project. As an in­ centive to the investors, he sister, Mindy, age 14, and suggested, the village might brother, Nathan, 12.

Get free Red Ball sticker Thq Maple Valley Jaycees and the Vermontville Fire Department have joined forces to implement “Operation Red Ball.” The two organizations plan to cover the entire Ver­ montville Fire Department area. The Operation Red Ball program is geared to help firemen located sleeping persons in burning buildings and involves residents placing a red ball sticker or stickers on the windows of any room in which someone may be sleeping. The number of stickers used on a window should coincide with the number of people who sleep in a room. For example, if there is one person sleeping in a given room; one sticker should be placed on the window. If there are two persons sleeping in a room, two stickers should be placed, MEMBER Association - Founded 1885 Maple Valley News Nashville, Michigan.

Sparkling clear windows, shiny waxed corridors, spanking clean school buses, and neatly arranged classrooms are testimonials to their efforts. In addition to routine tasks *of scrubbing and polishing, other maintenance projects were underway at schools in the Maple Valley system last week. At the junior-senior high school, 700 board feet of planking was being planed, sawed, glued, finished and installed to replace worn bleacher seating in the gymnasium..

And at Maplewood Elementary in Vermontville, blacktopping of a drive was expected to start Friday. In the Maple Valley Bus Garage on Reed Street, freshly washed school buses cast a bright yellow glow on the parking'lot while Maple Valley’s mechanics methodically checked safety and lighting features on each bus, replacing worn equipment discovered in the testing.

Despite the fall, only two of the men were injured seriously enough to require hospitalization. Patrick Kersjes, 48, sustained ex­ tensive lacaration and 80 stitches were needed to close his head wounds alone. He was still hospitalized Sunday at Pennock in Hastings, as was David Main, 23. No broken bones were sustained in the mishap. Others injured in the roof collapse were Stephen Beardsley, 27, of Hastings and Kersjes’ sons, Michael, 23; Patrick, Jr., 18; and Mark, 16. Four ambulances were summoned from the Hastings and Nashville departments to transport the victims to Pennock Hospital. The Michigan State Police were also on the scene. Pat Shaw, sister of Mrs, Kersjes, points out the east wall of the new family room addition which collapsed when the roof of the brick:and-block wing fell into the basement, carrying six men who were preparing to install roof shingles. Kersjes, a brick layer by trade, is expected to be recuperating for some time. Sunday, several of his neigh­ bors, friends and relatives, including sons who were in Saturday’s fall, were busy the salvaging roof framework. In addition to loss of the roof, a cement block wall on the east side of the new family wing collapsed when the roof went down. Mrs. Patrick (Mary) Kersjes, Sr., and her daughter were in the' house at the time of the mishap. They rushed out to find the six men lying in the basement excavation bejow. “We were just lucky that no one was killed,” com­ mented Pat Shaw of Hastings, a sister to Mrs. Kersjes, as she helped with Sunday’s cleanup. She believes the collapse was caused by the weight of the six men who were preparing to shingle the roof. Neighbors, friends and family gathered Sunday at the Patrick Kersjes home to salvage a roof that capsized Saturday, pitching six men into the basement below. Kersjes was seriously injured, as was David Main, and both were still hospitalized Sunday. Less seriously hurt were a Hastings man and three of Kersjes' sons who were on hand for Sunday's cleanup. �The Mople Volley New*.

Gordon will return to his work after a week’s stay, end Susan and the girls will remain here an additional week before flying back to California. The Gutchesses arrived by air, via Chicago, where they rented an auto to drive through to Kalamazoo. They were met at the airport there by Mrs. Latta, Mrs. Gutchess, and little Leslie Gould, a cousin to Jennifer and Ashley. Leslie is the daughter of Wayne and Sherry (Latta) Gould of Nashville.

Due to_an incomplete article delivered to us for use in last week’s column, several names were inadvertently omitted in the listing of donors for the books placed at Putnam Public Library in memory of La Dore Irland. Many of her former students had contributed to a fund to purchase three volumes as a memorial to Mrs. Irland. However, when the story was delivered to us one sheet of donors’ names was missing, but that fact was not discovered until after publication. In addition to those contributors listed last week, other donors were: Betty Smith Good of Silver Springs, Maryland; Mr. and Mrs. John Johnson of Middleville; Philip Maurer of Dearborn; Adolph Douse; Phyllis Brumm Rizor; Elizabeth Gibson Lynch; Helen Furniss and Mildred Caley Me Peck, all of Nashville. An additional donor since last week’s story appeared is Lloyd Everts of Downers Grove, Illinois. La Dore (Henderson) Irland was a teacher at Nashville High School until 1929 when she became a professor of History at Michigan State College (now MSU) in East Lansing. She retired there in 1961, and later moved to Memphis, Tenn., where she passed away in April of this year. Mrs. Irland is buried at Lakeview Cemetery here. Dale Cook ofNashville was seriously injured Thursday evening when he apparently lost control of his motorcycle near his home on M-66. Taken by Nashville am­ bulance to Pennock Hospi tai, he was later transferred to Blodgett in Grand Rapids^ Ambulance personnel report he sustained a fractured skull, possible vertebrae fractures, and facial lacerations. Just prior to that call, the Nashville ambulance was summoned to the George Augustine residence to transport him to Leila Hospital in Battle Creek, due to respiratory problems. by Susan Hinckley Tax abatement is the only immediate incentive that Nashville officials are willing to offer East Lansing investors who want to develop 80 acres of multiand single-family housing on the northwest edge of the village. Although no formal action was taken when the Nash­ ville council meet in special session Tuesday to consider the matter, officials agreed that a tax break was the only concession the village could afford to propose at this. time. Other incentives considered Tuesday included running municipal water and sewer lines to the site. “It (the proposed tax break) would be better for our cash flow,” observed trustee John Hughes. Ron Reece of Spadafor Realty of East Lansing, who met with the council last week as a representative of the developers, had estimated it might cost from $135,000 to $150,000 to run the water and sewer service lines to the property. The council did not rule out the possibility of future concessions on furnishing service to the developers, but made no committment Tuesday pending further data from the investors. “They must have com­ pleted plans of the sub­ division drawn up before we can do anything,” said president Harold Christiansen. Reece had told the council the investors are considering building a mixture of duplex and multiple- and single­ family units, but did not specify how many were planned. He said the apart­ ment units might border the road, and would be developed first. The area behind those structures may be developed later for single- family homes. zoned under Nashville’s Some village officials said ordinance.

August 27, 1980 — Page 4 Memories of the ■ pas (Author’s note: In June, we presented a Memories story on local railroads, the lifeblood of early Nashville. One of the sources we con­ tacted before writing that piece was Mrs. Beatrice (Hicks) Buchanan of Grand Rapids. Her father, the late Chancy Hicks, was a longtime village resident and employee on the railroad section gang and, later, foreman of the crew. Mrs. Buchanan is a subscriber to the News and has also sent the paper to her sister, Mrs. Edythe Klinkner of Phoenix, Ariz. Last week we received from Mrs. Klinkner a most By Susan Hinckley interesting letter detailing her father’s life in Nashville and relating some of his experiences on the railroad. She apparently had missed the June 25 issue of the News, which carried our earlier article ■ on the railroads, but her con­ tribution is so filled with special memories that we wanted to share them with our readers, as sort of a sequel to the first story. Since Mrs. Klinkner’s ac­ count is so _ excellently written, we are taking the liberty of presenting her letter verbatim.. We are sure our readers will enjoy this additional glimpse into the past, and we send sincere thanks to Mrs. Klinkner for sharing her thoughts.) Phoenix, Ariz. August8,1980 Dear Susan, It is with interest I read your “Memories of the Past” articles that appear in the Maple Valley News. My News has arrived rather erratically so I hope I haven’t missed too many of your articles. First, I should like to in­ troduce myself since I am sure we have never had the pleasure of meeting. I am Edythe (Hicks) Klinkner and sister to Beatrice Buchanan (of Grand Rapids) and Dorothy McCleary, the latter residing in Ohio and Florida. I was in conversation with Beatrice last week, which has prompted this letter. In our conversation, she mentioned she had received Three-man section crews were located in each town along the MCRR (later NYCC) route. Here, in the 1930’s, the Nashville and Hastings crews pause for a photo. They are seated on their rail motorcars, parked end to end, which replaced earlier handcars. From left, front, are Hastings crew foreman Lloyd Valentine and Harold Hess, Nashville Foreman. From left, rear, are Ernie Golden, Chancy Hicks, Bordy Rowlader and Glenn White.

Overturned locomotives were one of the most tragic reasons that section crews were on 24-hour call. Emergencies usually ranged from cattle on the tracks to severe weather. But on occasion they were sum­ moned to clear the route following a serious wreck, such as this 1937 multiple-fatality at the Vermontville crossing. In a train-car crash, occupants of the car were killed along with a "tramp” who had hitched a ride on the rails. Book your wedding early!

Main sporting" J C G?^/ Nashville, Michigan 49073 railroad is the reason for your contact with her, I believe. Prior to his work as section foreman, he arrived in Nashville at the time his uncle Steve Hicks owned a blacksmith shop. After his uncle passed away he worked for a time for Jasper Deeds on North Main Street; Somewhere between these two periods he lived in Crosswell, Mi., and after that returned to Nashvillb,where he and our mother (Mina) had a home on Reed Street. This was probably around 1914. He left the blacksmith shop and then went to work for the Michigan Central Railroad, later to be known as the New York Central. Trains were in their heyday then and going to meet the train was an adventure. I believe his first boss was Harold Hess. After Mr. Hess retired, my father became foreman. Through those years, he did leave Nashville for a couple brief periods to work as foreman in Rives Junction and Grand Rapids. Two other Nashville residents, I recall, who worked with my father were Glenn White and Benny Cramer. My father retired from the railroad five years prior to his death in June, 1949. His duties weren’t con­ fined to a usual working day, but he often was summoned at all hours of the night for emergencies. Most of the calls entailed cattle on the track which had to be removed before a train was due. Perhaps at other times it was rail trouble. I never heard him complain, but I do remember those calls in the middle of the night and often in a bad storm. ■ The tragedies occured also. The two I remember most happened between Nashville and Vermontville. In both instances, there were several people killed. My father was called to attend to clearing up the sad con­ sequences. I am sure this was one of the things that was most difficult in his line ofwork. I remember that the inspectors would appear at unannounced times, but he always got a good report. • He helped to form the R. R. Union at Jackson, Mi., for his area of the line and served as secretary for the group, having to attend meetings from Hastings to Jackson. The “tramps”, as they were called in those days, had our house marked and we had many unexpected visits from them, but my mother would- never turn them away empty-handed. I presume it all had something to, do with my father’s job on the railroad. It was said if they received food, the word went out to those that followed. I also remember the fuses and torpedoes that my father had (in order to) warn the trains in case of trouble. I traveled back to Nash­ ville in June, 1949 to attend my father’s funeral. I know Nashville has changed a great deal since those days in Nashvijle while I was growing up. I wonder if we will ever have to depend on trains again, but it was an interesting time to grow-np. In case you are still in­ terested in the railroad of that time, I hope some of this may be of use to you. These men did play an important part during the railroad age. Sincerely, Edythe J. Klinkner P.S. I am writing this for my sister Beatrice, because since hearing from you regarding information about my father and his connection with the railroad, she has fractured her right wrist. I am sure she could have recalled things that I do not. Please accept the substitute. I left Nashville in latter 1931.1 know it has changed a great deal. I came to Phoenix in 1946, and was employed as a Registered Nurse in the public school system. People that have lived here this long are almost considered natives also. I still think of Nashville with fond memories. I Isiili I iihi I afcls i M Im al! ite.rati I iilHia fesiM Hu EMHi lHI| iii'ti to qfaip �The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Wednesday.

It was the first time to “see where the sky and water meet’* for Edvard Javurek of Charv. Nova Ves u Breclav, who arrived in early August to spend 20 days with the families of Leo Marisch of North Mason Road and Leon and Helen (Marisch) Ackett of Nashville. Leo and Helen’s late father, who came to America in 1913, was a brother to Edvard’s mother, who still lives in Czechoslovakia. With his local relatives, Edvard had an opportunity to view a great deal of Michigan scenery. In ad­ dition to seeing Lake Michigan at South Haven, he was also impressed with the beauty of Lake Huron as he enjoyed an excursion to Mackinac Island. At Holland, Edvard toured Windmill Park and at Paw Paw he visited St. Julian’s Winery. That was of special interest to Edvard because he has a hobby of making wine from grapes he grows in a vineyard near his home. Edvard also enjoyed trips to the Shipshewana Flea Market in Indiana, and to the Ionia Free Fa if. Edvard speaks no English so has had to rely on his cousins to translate for him. Leo and Helen are both quite fluent in the Czech language because their parents — both natives of that country — spoke the language in their home when they were growing up. They have continued to keep "in practice’’ for just such an event as the visit of Edvard.

His wife, Kveta (Florence, in English), is employed in a distribution center handling perfumes and cosmetics. Edvard works as a waiter at a restaurant-hotel.

As a memento of the occasion, Edvard prizes a photograph he has of himself with the royal family. To pursue his hobby of hunting wild boar and deer in the same area frequented by Prince Charles of England and also the King of Sweden, Edvard is occasionally in Austria.

Edvard expressed contentment at life in his homeland. “Everyone has work,” he said. “There is no unem­ ployment.” After 20 days in America, Edvard was anxious to begin his long journey home Monday. His flight to the United States had landed at New York City. Since he speaks no English, a Czech guide aided him and others on the flight in locating hotel accommodations and then helped Edvard board the appropriate flight to Michigan the following day. At the Lansing airport he was greeted by his local relatives. He recognized them before - they spotted him, said Helen. On the flight from Czechoslovakia to New York, Edvard met two ladies from Pennsylvania who had been in his country visiting relatives and was able to converse with them since they spoke his native tongue. For his opportunity to visit America, Edvard expressed thanks to his local relatives at whose imitation he made the trip.

The event was staged at the United Methodist Community House, with Mrs. William (Isabelle) Dean and her son, Thomas McGrail, acting as co-chairpersons. “We had such a variety of items donated for the sale,” commented Mrs. Dean Thursday. “It was hard to believe.” Earlier, she and her son had spearheaded a door-todoor drive to collect con­ tributions of good for the benefit. In addition to the usual rummage sale fare of books,, toys, dishes and shoes, there were many unusual and valuable items including several pieces of antique glassware, a colorful handsewn quilt top, and a copying machine. “We had lots of collec­ tibles,” noted Mrs. Dean. For every $5 of merchandise purchased each customer purchased, received a free head of homegrown cabbage, donated by Donald and Elaine Leonard of Nashville.

Proceeds of Thursday’s said and a similar event planned for later will help in establishment and operation of the Nashville Christian Academy, a K-12 school opening Sept. 2 in the education wing of the Nash­ ville Church of the Nazarene. Other churches involved in founding the school are the Assembly of God and the Nashville Baptist. Many other Maple Valley area churches are also supporting their venture by showing an interest in the community­ wide effort. Tuition rates were recently set for the academy where, according to board member Pastor Don Roscoe, in addition to the basic Three R’s of education, the students will learn the new Three R’s respect for authority, responsibility, and religious training and conviction. Former Nash- ville Nazarene pastor Rev. James Sherman will head the school as principal. To financially support founding the new educational facility, a Founders Club was recently organized to encourage area residents to provide backing for the school. Various fund­ raising activities, such as last Thursday’s rummage sale, will also help support the institution.

Sy order of the Nashville Village Council From our readers TO THE EDITOR: What are we doing to our' children’s future? Somewhere we have mixed up our priorities! We voted to take away the possibility of our schools giving our children the love of beauty, an appreciation for music and the development of their bodies. Our children have also lost the chance for many enrichments in their life, as well as athletics. We have left them only with reading and the basics for each elementary child which can make Jack a dull boy and Jill a dull girl and could lead both to hate school! Art, music and physical education contribute to the child’s need for wider ex­ perience and the needed development of personal identity. They offer a balance to the difficult and frustrating brain-work in other parts of the program. It is our responsibility to give our children these crucial programs. But we can all use a “little help from our friends”! Now a miracle — there may be money for the athletics. Sports boosters have pledged to raise money to reinstate most fall sports. But what about the rest? Aren’t these other needs just as important, if not more so? What has happened to our academic priorities? If a child doesn’t develop his-her muscles during early childhood, they will never be able to be a serious part of the reinstated athletics. Where are our academic boosters? We still have a chance to make our children’s future richer. We can vote for the passage of the millage in September. We have been given another chance to reinstate these lost programs. Let’s all become academic boosters. Sharon Fleming S. Main, Vermontville TO THE EDITOR: On behalf of the Eaton County Cooperative Ex­ tension Service, I want to thank you for the fine newspaper coverage you have been providing for our office. During the past several months, we have been monitoring the county newspapers for the use of Extension news. Over the 13 week period, 98 articles were released and your paper used 62.

Some»observations made by adult students at Maple Valley are quoted here: “Aftei; being out of school for 22 years, I came to a class in first-aid. While doing written work I realized that my writing and spelling were getting very bad. I feel I have learned a lot in Government, Current Events and English. Am looking forward to History.” HB “I have two wonderful kids which I want to be able to tell that Mom and Dad graduated and to encourage them to go on and finish school. I think that adult education program is really great giving me the chance to return and complete my high school after being out so many years.” DD “I found out it could be stimulating and very in­ teresting.. It makes me feel much better about myself.” DM You too can make friends, set an example for your family, feel better about yourself by reaching that goal of a high school diploma by stopping in at the Com­ munity School Office in the Maple Valley Jr-Sr High School or call Ernie Jacoby at 852-9275 during regular office hours. Band gets set for season at Mystic Lake Camp — After a week at Mystic Lake Camp, near Farwell, Mi., 76 members of the /Maple Valley Marching Band were playdd out, marched out, sung out, danced out and out of plenty of sleep as well. But, they are just about ready to step onto the field with some precision marching routines. The band members sperit each day, Aug. 17-22, in five hours of marching drills and two hours of music rehearsals. While Nashville and Vermontville were drowning in daily rains, the students had five days of warm sunshine. Students who rose by 6:15 a.m. could jump in for a n-ice cold morning dip and some students even found time for some sailing. Not all day was spend doing “stagger drills” or memorizing music. Band staff and camp staff found themselves frequently humiliated on the volleyball court. Students got to know each other a little better while playing a mock version of “The Newlywed Game”, by performing skits and by singing or dancing for their meals. Students never ran out of spirit and had a chance to develop a new sense of unity and a feeling of pride through their experiences together. CARD OF THANKS The family of Rufus B. Wiser would like to extend a special thank you to Millie Martin, the United Methodist Church of Vermontville and all those who donated food and time the day of the funeral of our father. We very much appreciated the kindness and thoughtfulness. May God bless you. 1,680 2,610 These are the Income Guidelines effective July 1,1980.

Daughter of the late Will T. and Fern (Lentz) Kuhlman of Nashville, Betty has donated rriany fine antiques to the library, where most are now on display in several recently-refurnished second-floor rooms. Several choice pieces of antique furniture have been contributed by Miss Kuhlman; many of the items came from her parental home (the present-day Kjergaard home) near Putnam Park. Betty is a great-granddaughter of Jacob Lentz, founder here in 1866 of the Lentz Table Co On her father's side, Betty is also a descendant of Castleton Twp. pioneerr Thomas Blaisdell. His daughter, Polly, was Betty's paternal grandmother. (The needlepoint-seated chair, at right in the photo, came from the home of Polly and her husband, Rueben Kuhlman.) (Maple Valley News photo by, Susan Hinckley) home of their president, Sallye McLean, to draw up an itinerary for the 1980 festival. Included on the agenda are a talent show, a mini-tractor pull, midway rides and a Kiddie Karnival, a flea market, arts and crafts displays, a harvest produce contest, a canoe race, a bike race, a poster painting contest for children, a book sale at the’ library, bingo by the. Jaycees, a grand parade, crowning of the 1980 Harvest Queen, a gospel sing, a harvest dance, and a 6.2 mile run. That event will kick off Saturday’s activities and is expected to draw about 200 area runners to travel a circuitous course starting" and ending at Maple Valley High School. The 10,000 meter route will be west on Reed,''North on Main, east on Kellogg and south of Mason. Last year, a similar contest drew 99 men and women participants. The run is being chaired by Rev. Don Roscoe and Tom Oleson. Again this year, selection of a Harvest Queen to reign over the weekend festivities will be a highlight of the celebration. The winner will be selected by penny votes, with all proceeds going to the RRDC. Last year, the queen’s race netted oyer $2,600 for the recreational park project. Rules of eligibility are the same as last year: Harvest Queen nominees must (1) be at least 18 years of age; (2) not be a high school student, and (3) have a Nashville address. Merchants, organizations, churches, etc., may -nominate and sponsor candidates for the contest. Jerry Brumm is heading the event. Suzy Corkwell has charge of Saturday’s Grand Parade which will feature the newlycrowned royalty. Dave and Brinda Hawkins are directing the talent show; Lorna Wilson is chairing the harvest- produce contest; Dewey Dull will oversee the flea market to be set up inside a huge Main Street tent; arts and crafts displays are under the direction of Vernon and Shirley Curtis; the tractor pull will be handled by the Mid­ Michigan Mini’s of Bellevue; Dennis Smith will chair the canoe race; Sandi Christie will head the bike race; and Delores Knoll and Nancy Johncock will be in charge of the Kiddie Karnival to be set up at the Masonic Temple. In addition, the local Jaycees plan to have a bingo Council hopes to crack down on free-loading' refuse patrons — Nashville officials are seeking bids .on a 5-year refuse collection contract, and hope to find a way to crack down on “free loading” patrons before the service agreement is enacted. At their meeting Thur­ sday; the council agreed to advertise for residential, curbside collection for the “entire village.” Currently, village residents have the option of choosing whether or not they will subscribe to the service. The present monthly rate of $3.50 is billed by the village along with municipal water and sewer charges. However, village officials said Thursday that widespread “cheating” by residents is suspected, citing cases of two or more families doubling up their .refuse at one home and other in­ stances of non-subscribing individuals setting out garbage for curbside pick up. Village officials agreed it is virtually impossible for refuse collectors to deter­ mine which homes are subscribers and which are merely “free loading.” The system is further complicated, explained Village Clerk Suzy Corkwell, by the frequent patron requests for starting and stopping the service. Some of this due to moves, she said, but often the requests are made by individuals demanding starts and stops on a week-to-week basis because they had little or no garbage to be collected in a particular week. Trustee 'John Hughes suggested that public enlightenment about the situation might help. “If the village doesn’t collect enough money (in service fees) to pay the contractor, we have to pay for itoutoftax moneis,” said Hughes. “We should let the people know that.” The village currently pays $18,900 annually for the residential refuse pick-up service and is running in the red. (Commercial ventures and some large apartments units are not included in the village contract, but are handled on separate com tracts between the owners and the refuse contractor). When details of the present village contract were worked out last year, the council estimated that ap­ proximately 480 homes would subscribe to the service. That number would have generated more than sufficient revenue to cover the $1,575 monthly payment to the contractor for the weekly curbside pickup. In the past, any excess in such revenues were used to help maintain and operate the village - owned landfill, which Nashville residents who subscribe to garbage service‘are entitled to use free of charge. However, because of the erratic pattern of sub­ scribers the village collected only $18,423. in garbage fees in the past fiscal year, leaving the entire operation with a deficit. -Because of this, Mrs. Corkwell stressed, the “honest” village residents are paying for the “cheaters?’ as the dif­ ference must be met from other revenue. Hughes suggested that if the service charge was paid by every home in the village, it is feasible that the current monthly rate could even be reduced. The system of color-coded pre-paid garbage bags which is used by some large cities was discussed by the council, but some felt such a method would increase residential burning of papers and garbage. Others felt it would be fairer for senior citizens who tend to have less refuse than large families but currently pay the same rate. “No system (of pick up) can be equitable to everyone,”' noted Hughes, “but it is the general feeling of the community that we want garbage picked up.” However, trustee Calvin Rizor disagreed, saying the village “should get out of the garbage business” and let individual residents contract with private haulers to take care of their own refuse. Nashville is currently served by Hasitngs Sanitary Service, Inc. on a 2-year contract and village officials Thursday expressed satisfaction with that ser­ vice. That agreement ex­ pires the last of September and bids on a new 5-year contract will be opened at the council meeting Sep­ tember 25. In other business Thur­ sday, the’council: — Agreed to furnish camping facilities and a free dinner to members of the Eaton County Chapter of the National Campers and Hikers Club who will be in Nashville the last weekend of September to plant trees in a volunteer conservation project. Richard McArthur, representative of the primarily Lansing-area group, asked the council Thursday to encourage local participation in the tree­ planting.

She continued: “When he started on the railroad in 1918, a handcar was used for (the crew’s) transportatiop on the track, but it was soon replaced by a motorcar. At that time, there were 10 passenger trains that stopped at Nashville every day. When he retired, there were two passenger trains that stopped at night, and two during the day by flag only.” . Incidentally, in our correspondence with Mrs. Klinkner, we asked her for any ideas she might have for other Memories stories. She suggested one on Mrs. Edith Purchase, who was a. wellknown music teacher here when Edythe Hicks was growing up in Nashville. She provided us with some background information on Mrs. Purchase (we assume the name is an alternate spelling of Purchis). Now, we need readers’ help in locating appropriate photos and additional data for a future article on this lady. If you have memories to share, please call this reporter. Nice to see Mrs. Vern (Fem) Staup of Nashville downtown after a long summer of illness which involved a month-long confinement at Pennock Hospital and five days of testing at Blodgett in Grand Rapids. Now that the diagnosis is completed, Fern Those sly little gremlin that are reputed to inhabitate the back rooms of newspaper offices ap­ parently got into our Memories story before it went to press last week. As a consequence, the photos were completely scrambled; even the overturned locomotive was turned on it’s side. Fortunately, the captions were intact and we trust readers matched them up correctly. Too late for last week’s story, we received a photo from Edythe (Hicks) Klinkner to be used with the letter she had written us earlier. Quite appropriately it seemed to fit in with this week’s Labor Day Memories, so we took ad­ vantage of the opportunity to share it with our readers. The photos which the gremlins scrambled last week were furnished by Wilma Hess Bogart whose father, like Mrs. Klinkner’s, once headed the local section gang. Both men are pictured in the crew photo printed in this week’s Memories.* A follow-up letter from Mrs. Klinkner said that after sending the first letter, she had run across an article written . about, her father, Chancy Hicks, when he retired in 1942 after 24 years on the railroad. From that account, she gleaned several additional excerpts about his experiences: “He recalled the Reed Street Crossing accident when three persons were killed; a passenger train wreck in Hastings, and A person's own wishes, not his age, should determine his time of retirement. Forced retirement at 65 or 70 is wrong. Many artists, musicians, and other professionals have done good work until they died. Older industrial workers have a 20% better absentee record than younger workers. They have fewer on-the-job injuries and the frequency of accidents decreases with age. V FUNERM. DIRECTORS 'Voqt' FUNERAL HOME in Nashville Phone 852-0840 is receiving medication and improving day by day. Another recent Blodgett Hospital patient, Mrs. Gloria Johncock, returned home to Nashville last week after three confinements there in the past month. She is gaining her health back after complications which followed hand surgery for a rare form of arthritis. Also released last week from Blodgett was Dale Cook ofNashville, who fortunately was not as seriously hurt in a motorcycle accident as had been thought at first. He did not sustain a fractured skull as reported last week in this column in an item submitted shortly after the mishap occured near his home on North Main. He is now recovering from his injuries, which involved no broken bones. Books are needed for the library being established at the new Nashville Christian Academy. (A complete stoiy on the school appears elsewhere in this issue of the News.) .If you have any suitable volumes you’d like to donate for this worthy cause, please call the church office, 852-1930, or Peg Mater at 852-1885. Peg, who will be giving private music lessons at the school as an optional course for students, has volunteered her time to set up the library facility. She has already secured several boxes of books from private donors. All must now be sorted, catalogued and shelved. Patrick Kersjes of Thornapple Lake Road and his son-in-law, David Main, who both took a serious tumble when the roof of an addition to the Kersjes home collapsed last week, are improving. Both of them were released last Tuesday from Pennock Hospital, where they had been con­ fined since the mishap. Despite extensive lacerations and bruises, neither man sustained any broken bones in the 2-story fall. Four other men, three of whom were Kersjes’ sons, were also on the roof of the wing when it capsized. They were not seriously hurt. Kersjes’ \vife, Mary, who was inside the home at the time, said she never will forget the sound of the roof when it collapsed. She and her daughter, Mrs. Main, rushed outside to find the six men lying in the basement. Needless to say, it was a By Susan Hinckley very traumatic experience for everyone involved. Mrs. Max Hosmer was a recent caller on her aunt, Mrs. Nellie Moon of Nash­ ville. Mrs. Hosmer lives at Charlevoix and was en route to Lansing. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Corkins at Nashville en­ tertained 60 relatives recently at a party in honor of the birthday of her brother, Albert Van Alstine ofKingsland, Texas. Mr. and Mrs. Van Alstine were visiting in Michigan for a week. Family members attending the Saturday evening event came from Barryton, Battle Creek, Delton, Nashville, Assyria, Jenison, and Defiance, Ohio. “My memories of threshing are of the dirt and the usually wonderful meals the ladies at the different farm homes put together for us,” wrote Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin, in a letter commenting on our recent Memories story on early local wheat harvest. “It seemed that each lady tried to out-perform the others with special treats. Sometimes they even gave us cookies and lemonade in the middle of the afternoon. That was before the age of coffee breaks.” Meade said the picture which ac­ companied our story reminded him of the summer of 1921 when he tended blower on the threshing rig owned by his uncle Charley Mead. “I repeated the ex­ perience again in 1933 during depression years when summer jobs for teachers were not plentiful,” he continued. Meade noted that a couple of places where he worked he had an op­ portunity to sample warm hard cider, served to the threshing crew. “I do not recommend it as the best .of summer drinks,” he con­ cluded. Meade’s letter also reminded us that Ray and Earl Townsend became partners with their father, Richard, in operation of the Nashville elevator before it was sold in 1920 to the local Co-op Association. Meade recalls the business being labeled “Townsend Brothers Elevator”. Our account failed to note the sons’ participation in the en­ terprise. Mrs. Eliza Emery of Nash­ ville accompanied her son and family, Wesley and Jo Anne Emery and children of Hastings, to the wedding of Jo Anne’s brother, Wesley McVey, to Gail Marie McVey Blundey of Grand Rapids. The groom is from Lake Odessa. The ceremony was held Saturday, August 23, at the Shiloh Community Church on Long Lake Road in Ionia County. Following the 3 p.m. wedding, a dinner was served at Corcoran’s Restaurant in Ionia. Later, an evening reception was held at the Community Center in Lake Odessa. Mrs. Theresa Hess' of Nashville was honored on her 81st birthday last Tuesday at a family gathering at the home of her daughter and son-in-law, Virginia and Jack Green, local. Also present for the occasion were Mrs. Hess’ sons and daughters-in-law: Jack and Catherine Hess of Nashville; Bill and Barbara Hess of Huntsville, Alabama; and Charles Hess of Battle Creek. Mrs. Mildred Bursley of Nashville enjoyed a recent Friday evening visit from her brother, Ray Bodine of Lansing, and her nephew and his wife, Dr. and Mrs. Robert Murphy of San An­ tonio, Texas. Later, Mrs. Bursley was a weekend guest of her niece and family, Mr. and Mrs. Her­ bert Hobley of Lake Odessa. Labor Day weekend, Mrs. Bursley planned to entertain as houseguests Phyllis and Charles Trombley of Bowling Green, Ohio; Marie Fulton, and Frank Stevenson, both of Lansing.

Wednesday, September 3, 1980— Page 4 Memories of the pas (Author's note: By request the following story is reprinted from the Sep­ tember 5, 1979 Memories feature which traced Nash­ ville’s early observances of Labor Day. We hope those who may have missed that first account will enjoy this “rerun,” along with our regular readers.) It was several years after President Grover Cleveland signed an 1894 bill declaring Labor Day a national holiday before the law had much impact on Nashville. Locally, the first Monday in September tended to mean more to the farming com­ munity than to any organized labor movement. The day had simply been observed as an annual festive outing. “The farmers’ pincic at Thornapple Lake last Monday was a huge suc­ cess,” reported the Nash­ ville News the first week of September, 1903. “In the raffle of a horse, Mr. Abbott was the winner and in the ladies’ raffle, Mrs. George Me Wha won the dress suit. In the voting contest for the best housekeeper present, Mrs. Peter S. Maurer was the winner by a large majority.” Labor Day came close on the heels of Nashville’s mheoreloc oaf l ofopremrun than work for farmers, whose annual Farmegrs' Pi pnricobwabalsy tthe local forerunner of Labor Day Rural folks gathered at Thornapple Lake or Nashville's old Driving Park fori day of good Food and fun.

The late Martin Graham is thought to be in this about-1912Floyd white} By Susan Hinckley annual Harvest Festival celebration, traditionally held in August during the early 1900’s, and most local folks viewed the September holiday as an opporutnity for rest and quiet recreation. “For the kids, Labor Day meant the start of school,” remembers one local senior citizen. “For cottage owners, it meant dashing out to the lake for one last weekend.” Mainly, it signaled the end of summer. Youngsters would soon be back in school and “things would return to normal,” she added. Thornapple Lake, often a summertime holiday haven for Nashville residents, also became the center of local Labor Day activities. The lake shore was a popular spot for picnics, dances and holiday ball games. “The Labor Day celebration at Thornapple Lake Monday was a big success,” noted the News in 1908, “there being a large attendance, and everything passed off in good shape.” The reporter elaborated: “The sports were all carried out as advertised. The Vermontville band furnished splendid music all day, and the dance was liberally patronized until midnight. The ball game was between a picked-up team from Railroad workers may have been early observers of Labor Day, as they tended to follow holiday patterns established for government workers. Locally, mail carriers were among the first to receive a day's furlough on Labor Day.

Several present-day senior citizens who had relatives working at the Lentz Table Company, Nashville’s largest employer i the early 1900’s, could not in recall ll such h an occasion. i .

Shortly after one early Labor Day, Nashville learned firsthand about llabor strikes.. One week after the 1906 holiday, discontent aarose among workmen on a municipal project to lowerr a we main across the water Thornapple River (to prevent the main from freezing during severe winter weather). “Nashville went through the throes of its first labor strike this week,” revealed the News. “Street Com­ missioner Bill Woodard was working on the water main lowering job on the river Monday when some of his laborers, who were drawing $2.50 per day, announced they would quit work unless they were promised $3.50 per day. “Bill promptly paid them off and pulled his regular workers off the crosswalk job, to finish the river project,” added the writer. “No more had been heard from the strikers.” The following May, Woodward again again ex­ perienced labor difficulties when laying water mains iin t east end of town, but it the “didn’t worry Bill much, as he is accustomed to trouble,” observed the News. Trench diggers paid at the rate of a dollar-and-a-half per day wanted twenty-five cents more. “About half the men digging the trench went on strike, asking more pay,” advised the News. “Bill didn’t have any authority to pay them more and, in consequence, the strikers stayed out and ditch is being dug'without them.” But neither local labor strife nor Nashville ob­ servance of Labor Day made Conf, page 5 — Come See Us at..

Do to inappropriate federal, state and local funding, the Maple Valley Board of Education has been forced to make drastic cuts in the schools athletic program. Dueing the school board meeting on August 11, a group of concerned parents voiced their opinion con­ cerning certain ad­ ministration cuts. With the support of the school board, the Athletic Boosters have agreed to begin a fund drive in an attempt to raise enough money to reinstate all sports at Maple Valley for the entire school year. But in order to achieve this goal, we are asking you the public to get involved and support our drive. The school board has already reinstated all the fall sports that had previously been cut, with the un­ derstanding though, that if the Athletic Boosters are unable to reach their goal, .these sports will once again be dropped when existing funds are exhausted. We need the help of the entire community if we are to make this drive suc­ cessful.

Main Nashville.Mich �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, September 3, 1980 — Page 6 Band Boosters still looking for a president The Maple Valley Band Boosters held their first meeting of the new school year on August 25, but without a new president. The election of a new president was one of the topics of discussion at the meeting. Karla Hale, the group’s new vice president, declined to accept the organization’s top office because she felt that it was a position which a man could handle better because of the manual labor involved during Vermontville Syrup Festival time and at the concesion stand which the boosters operate. It was expressed, at the meeting, that there are still people who could be asked to take the job; and meanwhile have former president Bill Shaw remain in the post until a successor could be elected. This was tabled until the Boosters next meeting. Besides Karla Hale, other new officers are Janice Filter, secretary; Judy Terpening, assistant secretary; Loretta Pixley, treasurer; Connie Briggs, assistant treasurer; and Dixie Brand, publicity. All former officers have offered to help the new of­ ficers to learn their jobs. Former officers, in addition to Shaw, are Betty Rogers, vice president; Janet Wawiernia, secretary; Barbara Fisher, assistant secretary; and Debbie Rozell, treasurer. In other business, the Band Boosters approved, by a vote of 5-4, giving $90 to purchase a half-page ad for the millage election.

Candy sales representative Wayne Powers showed the group many cands of candy and distributed samples. The Candy, to be sold by the Band Boosters, will be distributed to all band students on September 19. The candy bars will sell for 50 cents. Concession stand sales were discussed and most all items will remain at about the same price this year. Each officer will be in charge of the concession for one of the home games. All officers will meet at the concession stand September 3 to learn about the set-up proceedures and operation of the stand. At each Junior Varsity game, eight volunteers will be needed to woifc with an officer at the concession stand. Eleven'volunteers will be needed to staff the stand during varsity games, ex­ cept during the homecoming game when 14 woifcers will be needed. A person will be in charge of calling to schedule workers. Please notify an officer of Band Boosers if you are able to help in the concession stand during one. of the nine home games. Junior Varsity home games will start at 5:30 p.m. and will be held on Sep­ tember 4 and 25 and on October 2 and 16. Varsity games will be held at 7 p.m. September 12; 7:30 pan. September 19; 7 p.m. October 10; 7 p.m. October 24 (homecoming); and 7:30 p.m. October 31. Band Boosters heard a report on band camp, presented by ' Tracy Wawiernia, a senior at Maple Valley High School, and by Betty Rigers who also attended camp as the camp nurse. Both gave very good reports of the fun and the enjoyable site where they stayed. Janice Filter making a request for Mr. Watson, asked that the Band Boosters give each football player one free drink during each home game. However, that request was declined. At the present time, only the cheerleaders and the referees receive one free drink and the fnembership voted to change that to permit only the referees to get a free drink. The purpose of band boosters is to give support to the band and the band director, to purchase needed items and to help with band camp expenses. Any parent of a fifth through twelfth grader is a member of band boosters. Meetings are held the third Monday of each month in the band room. The next meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. September 15 in the band room. If you have found extra items from band camp suitcases or if you have lost items during band camp, come to that meeting and see ifwe can find the mate to the missing sock or what ever.

Thus state employees may now run for public office or hold office in a political party. They still may not take any political actions while on duty in state jobs. ZONING RULING - The Court of Appeals has ruled that a court cannot compel city officials to answer questions concerning the reasons for denial of a request for rezoning. The court said rezoning is a legislative act and lacking any evidence of improper conduct, it would be constitutionally improper for a court to question that. BALLOT ENDORSEMENTS - Both the Republican and the Democratic state conventions have now taken the same positions on this fall’s ballot proposals: they support Proposals “B”, “C” and “E” (19-year-old drinking age, Coalition tax reform plan, income-tax increase for prison construction), oppose “D” (Tisch tax plan), and do not support “A”, the Smith-Bullard tax plan. SUBSTANCE ABUSE - The Office of Substance Abuse Services has reported that one out of every five people ad­ mitted to state-funded substance abuse programs during 1980’s first quarter was under age 20. This number of 4,204 included 283 children under age 13, many of whom were treated for problems resulting from another family mem­ ber’s substance abuse. FARM WORKERS - The Agriculture Department has reported that employment on Michigan farms during mid­ July was 2 percent higher than a year ago. Good weather prompted longer working days as both family members and hired workers put in more hours compared to last summer. CHARTER BOATS - The DNR is cracking down on operators of unlicensed Great Lakes charter boats, all of which have not had an annual safety inspection and may have hazardous structural damage. The DNR has already arrested four operators and is investigating 100 more. MOTOR HOMES AND CAMPERS FOR RENT: By day or week, deposit will hold. Call Vacation Rentals, 945-9101, Hastings.

Tents were set up Thursday night so that we could get started Friday with the "fun”. Hayride was the first planned event. The kids and some unsuspecting parents left for a noisy hay throwing ride around the country block. The adults who learned what to expect last year volunteered to stay at camp and start supper while Scoutmaster Kesler and the Boy Scouts started the monkey bridge and laid out the compass patrol. When the kids returned they brought straw to share with those who didn’t get to go. Hungry Scouts gobbled a bushel and a half of corn roasted by Dave Finkler along with their supper. As dark set in the Scouts were divided into groups, each with a compass flashlight and directions leading to a “treasure”. They all located their treasure shortly after dark and returned to camp where the fire had been built-up in preparation for a campfire talent show. Dennis Priddy emceeded the show in which 5 groups performed nursery rhymes, demonstrations, & songs. Audience appreciation determined the fortune telling act of Group 1 led by Leonard Eaton & Mr. Cheeseman to be the “best of the bunch” earning group 1 a “bunch” of bananas. The best act, however, starred Pam Bishop, Jean Reid and Sharon Bishop assisted by Ken Meade but was not in­ cluded in the judging as it was too professional! Most of the boys bedded physical fittness activity with the Cubs. Later Scoutmaster Kesler and Leonard Eaton held a tote-nchip session showing the proper use of ax, knife and saw to the boys, while the adults cleared the camp and packed to leave. We all snacked on watermelon before leaving for home. Our sincere thanks go to the Steinbrecher family for allowing us to camp on their farm.

' Purpose of the special meeting to meet with Ron Reece of Spadafor Realty of East Lansing to discuss further the possibilities of a new subdivision. There was much discussion on possible concessions the village could offer for the development of a subdivision. The two possibilities that were of major concern were running water and sewer service lines to the property and tax abatement. Since a portion of the 80 acres to be developed lies outside of the Village is was discussed that all land would have to be annexed to the village and also zoned for this type of development. Earl Wilson, who owns property on the North and west side of the proposed site was present to object to the development of a subdivision on this site. Mr. Wilson expressed his concern for his sugar bush and woodlot. No action was taken at this time. Motion by Hinckley, supported by Rizor to adjourn. Meeting adjourned.

September 3. 1980 — Page 9 Individual learning pace featured at Christian Academy By noon Wednesday, 40 students had already enrolled at the Nashville Christian Academy and more children were arriving. The K-12 school, Nashville’s newest educational facility, will open its doors for the first time September 2. Located in the educational wing of the Nashville Church of the Nazarene on Fuller Street, the school is the culmination of months of planning and hard work by many individuals in the local community. The academy was recently-established by a coalition of three Nashville churches: the Nazarene, the. Baptist, and the Assembly of God. “We’re looking toward a favorable year (for the school),” commented Rev. Richard Wadsworth of the Church of the Nazarene Wednesday. He said that in addition to funds contributed initially by the three chur­ ches, the academy will be financed by student tuition, donations received through the Founders’ Club, and various community fund­ raisers. The latest such event, a benefit rummage sale, last week netted over $300 for the school. The Founders’ Club is comprised of individuals who have contributed $25 or more to help establish the academy. Since the last chance to become a founding member ends the last day of September, the club is rather an exclusive group, joked Rev. Wadsworth. He said the club memebers’ names (individuals and-or com­ panies) will be inscribed on a permanent plaque at the school. -Children at the academy will learn the traditional ^WWjpm ^►Wfehispwnijj ^lolosttBi«ihii iowlttaolfeta, byHindley, supportedbjUw^ idjoumed. taldtalw1! ustUJW) SminllW liipf Rev. Wadsworth and his wife, June, display the ties, in patriotic design, which will be worn by male students and teachers at the academy. On the table are bolts of yard goods purchased for the uniformmaking project. Three R’s in a unique new way. The school will offer a curriculm through A. C. E., a Texas-based Christina education program. “We will highly stress Literature, Science, Math, English, and Social Studies,” said Rev. Wadsworth. “And we would like to give the children a good understanding of political science.” Evidence of the patriotism the school will stress is everywhere: the official academy colors are red, white and blue. Miniature American and Christian flags serve as signal ban­ ners, and Stars-and-Stripes decorate the mens’ and boys’ ties which are part of the official class uniform. Instructors and students will dress uniformly in redand-navy outfits, with white shirts and dress. Male ap­ parel is available through the ACE program; girls’ and womens’ uniforms will be sewn from patterns and materials furnished by the school. In addition to the traditional Three R’s, the children will learn the new Three R’s, described as respect for authority, responsibility, and religious training and conviction. The ACE curriculum has been revised three times in its’ 10-year life, and there are now over 3,500 schools around the world using the unique learning method. Rev. Wadsworth and Rev. James Sherman, a former local Nazarene minister who will serve as principal at the academy, were in Texas last June for a 1-week crash course in the ACE program. They were among 137 in training that week at Lewisville, a Dallas suburb. “And those classes go on all summer long, so you can see how many are taking the (ACE) training,” commented Rev. Wadsworth. What makes the system unique is that each child, from beginner through 12th grade, moves at his own individual learning pace. Special workbooks for each plateau of each subject guide the child in an orderly Office.

Wadsworth. “We have no ‘D’ students. The child has to make 80 percent on each pace to move on to the next level.” Pace is an important word in the ACE system; it represents one of 144 such steps in any given subjects over a student’s school life. Fundamental to the pace method is the academy’s Learning Center, which replaces the traditional public school classroom concept. In the Center, each child is seated at a specially - con­ structed private “offidte,’’ to aid his own concentration. In some cases, earphones and tapes will be used in several of the units for certain classes. Situated in his or her own “office,” each student completes problems and assignments in individual workbooks for each subject in the specified curriculum. When the youngster is satisfied he or she is suf­ ficiently versed in any given subject to pass to the next level of learning, a test is administered by the in­ structor with the student seated at a conventional classroom table. If the student passes, he •or she moves on to the next pace workbook. If, however, the youngster fails, the test, he or she must start again at the beginning of the current pace workbook. Self-testing at an open table helps the students make the decision about attempting the administered test that will move them to the next learning plateau. Each makes that decision individually. “Our teachers are called supervisors,”- noted Rev. Wadsworth. To see that students are moving forward at a well-rounded level, he explains, is the supervisor’s responsibility. The check would prevent, for example, a math “whiz” from moving ahead by passing multiple paces in that subject while failing miserably in others. In addition to the studies, children will also reach three levels of “privileges" based on their overall behavior. Rewards can include in­ creased break or recreation time. Each week, the academy will have at least a short­ distance field trip. Some trips will be as extensive as tours of Greenfield Village or excursions of area zoos, etc. Playground equipment will soon be installed at the school, and plans are now underway to reserve facilities at the “Y Center” in Battle Creek for recreational activities during winter months. Weekly chapel services will be conducted at the academy by participating ministers, speaking on a rotating basis. A library is being established at the academy, and donations of used bodes are being sought from local citizens. The volumes will be sorted and catalogued by Peg Mater, who is working as a volunteer library helper. She will also teach private music lessons at the school. The classes to study vocal or instrumental music are optional, and will be conducted Mondays and possibly Thursdays. In addition to Rev. Sherman, who will teach Grades 3 through 6, the staff includes Amy Putnam, teaching Kindergarten through Second, and Becky Talley, junior and senior high instructor. Teachers’ aides, known as monitors in the ACE system, will be Kris Stairs, Elaine Eckman, and Sandy Zinger. June Wadsworth is acting as treasurer for the academy and is also in charge of student attire. The Nashville Christian Academy is governed by an advisory committee com­ prised of six members - a minister and lay member from each of the three Cont. page 10 — Becky Talley, junior-senior high teacher at Nashville Christian Academy, admires uniform being sewn for her by June Wadsworth, right.

Russell Freed, MSU visiting plant breeder, believes that about 150,000 acres of Michigan’s wheatlands will be planted to Frankenmuth and Augusta this fall. “These represent a new class of varieties in yield potential,” Freed says. “Both have very good yield stability, having consistently outperformed other wheat varieties in trails throughout the state and past six years. ” The two varieties are expected to establish a new standard for yield among Michigan wheat varieties. Tests show an average yield of 61.5 bushels per acre, but some growers have repor- tedly recorded yields as high as 115 bushels per acre this summer. According to Allen Kirzek, Eaton County Extension director, certified seed of both varieties is available from certified seed growers and county elevators. However, in view of somewhat limited seed availability, contacts with seed suppliers should be made early. Before the harvest time rains there was enough Frankenmuth and Augusta under certification to plant only % of the state’s wheat acreage. As for all wheat seed the grain should be seed treated to protect from diseases. A combination of Thiram and Carboxin continue to be one of the best treatments available. Research at M.S.U. has indicated that this treatment will not damage germinated seed.

Cotton, linen, rayon, silk, wool, leather, wood and paper are jtrime targets. Keeping closets, dresser drawers, basements and other areas as clean and dry as possible will help prevent mold from growing. Musty odors are a sign of mold growth. Musty odors usually disappear if the air is well heated, dried and cir­ culated. Poorly ventilated closets get damp and musty during long spells of wet weather, and articles stored in them are likely to mildew. Im­ prove the ventilation by opening closet doors, hanging clothing loosely so that air can circulate and using a fan to renew the air.

In every age category. Now teenage girls have reversed that historical pattern. Significant as this is, says the American Lung Association, it is not quite as disturbing as it seems. Smoking rates among most teenagers are 'actually dropping. However, the rater for boys is dropping faster than that for girls. For the first time ever, this means more girls than boys are smoking — 1.7 million girls, 1.6 million boys. Traditions — including smoking patternss — are changing for teenage girls,, says the American Lung Association. Studies show girls care more than boys about what is socially desirable and need more reasurance. Though overall smoking rates for teens are declining, there is an exception. For 17and 18-year-old girls. Their rates are on the rise. According to the. 1980 Surgeon General’s report, though, new studies suggest that even the pattern of increased smoking among older teenage girls is beginning to level off and probably can be expected to decrease over the next few years.” The pattern is quite the opposite for marijuana smoking. Rates among teenagers are on the rise. Surveys in the Surgeon General’s report indicate that as many as 30 percent of 17- and 18-year-old girls are smoking marijuana. For boys, the rate is even higher, 40 percent, higher than it has ever been for cigarette smoking. According to the lung association, recent research indicates the effects of marijuana smoking g on the lungs may be even more gy damaging than cigarettes. Teenagers who smoke cigarettes, says the Surgeon General’s report, are much more likely than nonsmokers to use marijuana as well as hashish and stronger drugs such as heroin and cocaine. Almost 70 percent of teenage cigarette smokers in one survey reported using marijuana and-or. hashish, while only 17 percent o,f nonsmokers did. did. As As for for the the nonsmokers stronger drugs, 26 percent of the cigarette smokers used them, but only 4 percent of nonsmoking teenagers used jlrugs. Many Many lung lung associations associations sponsor programs to help younger children younger children and teenagers value their own bodies and keep their lungs smoke-free for a lifetime. Inhaling any kind of smoke assaults the lungs and bombards its defenses a against infection and disease. For teenage girls especially, learning to assert themselves to enhance their own interests and wellbeing is a skill they are beginning to practice more often. Adopting a nonsmoking lifestyle, says the American Lung Association, is one way a teenage girl can start taking responsibility for her future as an adult woman. If a woman smokes while she is pregnant, says the American Lung Association, she can retard the rate of growth of the fetus in her womb. She also increases the risk of spontaneous abortion or death of her infant soon after it is born. “Sufficient amounts., of oxygen are essential for human life,” says Lewis B.

According to the 1980 Surgeon General’s report, more smokers’ babies are smaller than nonsmokers’ babies. In all dimensions. Though normally propor­ tioned, the former are lighter and smaller, characterized by an ab­ normally short length from the top of their heads to their heels. The babies, says the report, appear to have fewer cells in their bodies and a reduced demand for oxygen. The growth-retarding effects of smoking are at­ tributed to fetal hypoxia, a dificiency of oxygen. Some studies also show that subtle alterations in the manternal supply of essential nutrients occur as a result of smoking. In one study) concentrations of amino acids, which are essential for life, were reduced significantly in the blood of women who smoked during pregnancy compared with those who did not. Children of mothers who smoked ’during pregnancy continued to be smaller than normal when measured as long as eleven years later. Further, many of the studies indicate that the children are more likely to have measurable deficiences in long-term growth, in­ cluding intellectual and emotional development. Neurological abnormalities are more frequent: and the children show greater irritability and general disinterest. From hundreds of studies, the Surgeon General’s report Harvest aid for dry bean growers An unusually moist growing season has resulted in excessive vine growth on the dry beans in Eaton County. The bushy growth will likely delay harvests and interfere with other farming operations.

Wednesday. September 3.1980 — Page 14 Live strength to be Maple Valley Lions' Football forte in 1980 There isn’t any high stakes gambling going on at Maple Valley — please don’t get the wrong idea. But Lion Head Coach Dan Watson makes no secret of the fact that his team’s 1980 fortunes are definitely “on the line.” 12 returning letterwinners will be largely concentrated in the offensive and defen­ sive lines and Watson is making no secret of the fact that the trenches will be the strength of his team. “We knew our lines were going to be strong already last year,” speaks an en­ thused but realistic coach. “You have to have a strong line to make everything else Seniors Allen Wells, Jim Travoli, Gordy Gardner, and Newman Maurer are looking “outstanding” with their line work and center Brian Chaffee has already shown impressive improvement over last season. Adding his second team All-Conference talents to the middle will be tackle Mark Siple. Junior Tom Brooke, who lettered as a sophomore last season, also shows big promises. Another returnee who received Ail-Conference attention last season is Terry Pierce at safety. Joining Pierce at safety will be the fleet Jeff Beebe who is by far the fast man on the team according to Watson. At six-foot-one,’ 170 pounds, Beebe will also be the hope of the backfield where the Lions may be the most susceptible. Senior Pierce and junior Walter Maurer are looking good at quarterback and will direct a mostly ground at­ tack on offense. Joining Beebe in the backfield will be returnee Mark Sutfin who, Watson states, is “looking really good” with his cannonball running style. Though young, inex­ perienced, and small, the attitude of the 1980 Lions seems to be typified in the (From left to right) Front row: Marlon Sparks, Mark McMillen, Mark Sutfin, Terry rry Pierce, Rodney Godbey, John Pomeroy, Ross Nichols.

School's open - drive carefully School age kids are active, fun-loving kids who'll sometimes dart out into streets without thinking! An average of five school­ aged children were killed or injured daily in pedestrian, traffic accidents last year in Michigan and most of those mishaps could have been avoided if motorists and pupils followed proper safety measures, reports Automobile Club of Michigan. “Few things are more tragic than a young life being taken in a needless traffic accident,’* stated Robert Cullen, Auto Club’s Safety and Traffic Engineering manager. Auto Club is conducting its annual “School’s Open — Drive Carefully” campaign to help combat child pedestrian accidents. “Traffic accidents are the major cause of death for children aged one to 14,” said Cullen. “Last year, nearly two-thirds of the 1,879 Michigan pedestrian deaths and injuries to school-aged children occurred to youngsters aged five through nine. This fall, there will be 125,000 kindergarteners going to school for the first time. There also will be almost ' one million elementary school pupils crossing streets, roads, and highways. Nearly nine of every 10 pedestrian accidents in­ volving children occur during daylight, dusk or dawn-— the hours when many are going to or from school. “While teachers, traffic engineers, researchers and law enforcement officials have concerned themselves with child pedestrian problems for years, the responsibility for a child’s traffic safety education must be carried by his parents,” said Cullen. “Begin 'teaching your younGster when he begins to maximum visibility. walk; don’t wait for him to —Instruct children always* go to school to learn to be a to use the sidewalk or to face safe pedestrian,” he ad­ traffic when there isn’t one vised. “Lasting good habits and to watch for turning cars of safe walking and riding even when the traffic signal can be developed before a turns green. child enters school.” “If your child rides a bus, Auto Club suggests these, said Cullen, “walk with him guidelines for parents: to the bus stop and tell him to —Walk your kin- cooperate with the driver. dergartener to and from Since young children are school the first few days until very impressionable, the child is familiar with the parents should set a good route. example by following safe —Make sure children pedestrian rules.” understand proper Auto Club urges motorists pedestrian safety habits to use extra caution and to such as looking in all “expect the unexpected.” directions before walking State law requires drivers to across an intersection, stop at least 10 feet behind a keeping from between bus when "it is loading or parked cars and obeying unloading. safety patrollers or crossing As part of its “School’s guards.

Officials estimated the number of walkers in the 23rd annual event at 25,000, but Judy Terpening of Nash­ ville said she believes that figure is low. She walked the bridge with her husband, Jerry, and children, Robin, Bryon, Renee and Eric. Mrs. Terpening said the crowd appeared to be larger than last year’s turnout, which was also set at 25,000. Ac­ companying the Terpening family on the trek were Mrs. Pat Friddle of Woodland and her children, Jim, Brian and Ginger. Also among the walkers were local residents Jack and Catherine Hess. Perhaps there were others from our community who made the 5-mile trek. If so, we’d be interested in hearing from them. Most completed the walk in about an hour and a half. Busses brought the weary marchers back to the Mackinaw City starting point. The Terpenings got plenty of exercise during their Labor Day weekend stay at the Mackinaw City cam­ pground. Saturday, they took bikes on the ferry to Mackinac Island and rode approximately 25 miles there, traversing the 9-mile perimeter and other byways on the island. Sunday, Mr. Custom HAIR STYLint; Nancy s Beauty Shop By Susan Hinckley will be furnished.

Mrs. Bessie Friddle of Lacey is home temporarily after undergoing presurgical testing at Com­ munity Hospital in Battle Creek. She is expected to undergo kidney surgery shortly. Recent callers on Mr. and Mrs. Leonard (Veda) Shull of Nashville were Mr. and Mrs. Oral Miller and Mrs. Evangie Miller of rural Hastings. Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville accompanied her daughter, Mrs. Edgar (Phyllis) Smith of Charlotte to Lansing last Friday to visit Mrs. Smith’s daughter, Carol Smith. Sunday, Mrs. Frederick was in Dimondale to call on Mr. and Mrs. A. J. De Long and Mrs. Beatrice Abel. Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis of Nashville entertained Friday in honor of the bir­ thday of her daughter-in­ law, Mrs. Robert (Virginia) Curtis of rural Nashville.

Mr. and Mrs. Ard Decker of Nashville were Monday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Decker of Thornapple Lake Road. Mr. and Mrs. Fred (Marguerite) Ackett were at Lake Stanton over Labor Day weekend, as guests of her daughter and son-in-law, Audrey and Clare Steward of rural Charlotte.

A recent Sunday visitor at the Fred Ackett residence was his sister, Mrs. Elsie Wilson, and her friend, both of Lansing. The Golden Agers of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet for a noon potluck dinner Friday, Sept. 12, at the Community House. Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth A. Meade of Franklin, Michigan, were in Nashville during Labor Day weekend to attend a family reunion at the home of Jiis grandson, Kenneth F. Meade, Jr. While here, the elder ivfr. Meade toured Putnam Public Library, accompanied by his son Kenneth F. Meade. Sr., of Jackson, who was -also here for the family gettogether. During that visit to the library, Kenneth A. Meade presented the facility with Three historical ar­ tifacts for display in the Michigan and Local History Room on the second floor of the building. Donated by Mr. Meade were a brakeman’s compass, whistle and nameplate from the old Michigan Central Railroad (forerunner of the NYCRR) which ran through Nashville. The articles were the possessions of Meade’s grandfather, Samuel J. Robinson (1848-1896), a longtime MCRR employee. The compass bears an in­ scribed metal tag designating Robinson’s role with the railroad. The nameplate which once adorned his cap also bears the inscription “M.C.R.R. Brakeman”. Such contributions relative to local history are greatly ap­ preciated by the library, and thanks go out to Mr. Meade and others who have donated memorabilia for display in the new room. Samuel J. Robinson, in­ cidentally, lived northwest of Nashville on what is now called the Meade Centennial Farm. His wife, Hannah, was the daughter of Castleton Township pioneer Thomas Blaisdell, who built the great stone house on the farm during the Civil War years. It is still occupied by Meades, ' 6th generation descendants of Blaisdell. Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville attended the August 31 marriage of her grandson, Riqhard Ramsey, to Carol Obhauser.

The local Parent - Teacher Organization is hosting an Open House on Sept. 11, from 7 to 7:30 p.m., at both the Fuller St. and Kellogg elementary schools. The informal meeting of the teachers is intended only as a get-acquainted event, and not as a conference period. The PTO hopes local parents will take advantage of this chance to familiarize themselves with the elementary school facilities. Following the half-hour tour, a business meeting will be conducted by the organization. The Nashville Lions Club will open their new season with a 7 p.m. dinner meeting, Sept. 15, at the St. Cyril Hall. In a business meeting last Tuesday, the Lions laid groundwork for several projects planned in the coming year. The club is currently selling fruitcakes, a repeat of a successful venture in past years. Labor Day weekend was a busy time for Mr. and Mrs. Clarence (Margaret) Reid of Nashville. They enjoyed a Saturday evening potluck dinner at the home of their daughter and family, Anetta and Dave Tredinnick and children of Hastings. Also present were Vernon and Jo Anne Reid and youngsters Michelle and Greg of Charlotte; Darrel and Karen Reid and sons, Sherman and Matt, of near Kalamo; Wally and Jane Pobl and Janet of Hastings; and John and Becky Stark, Johnny and Mindy, of Hastings. Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Reid had as dinner guests sts Arden and Sue Reid and daughters, Mindy, Amie and Erica, of Nashville.

There were 29 senior citizens present to enjoy the monthly dinner, held August 28, at the Nashville Nutrition Site. Entertainment for the Thursday evening event was furnished by the Miller Family of Delton. Accordian and gospel music, featuring many old favorites, was performed tfy three Miller children and their neighbor. Mr. and Mrs. Miller joined in on several selections, in­ cluding one she had com­ posed for the group. Our recent Memories story on the “dog days” of summer in early Nashville made mention of local ice cream parlors of that time. A letter from Nashville native Wayne Fuller, now of Toledo, Ohio, commented on one: “The name Diamante brought back memories. I wonder how many readers of the News remember the unusual musical device that they had in the store. It was rqally something in its day — a mechanically operated violin? It was mounted in a case similar to a coin­ operated record player. Small wheels came in contact with the strings to take place of the bow, and the sound produced was excellent. I do not believe it was operated with a coin. I don’t believe that art had been developed yet.” We would' be interested in hearing from other readers who recall this rather unique item. Men of the Nashville Baptist Church will team up October 4th for the annual “Beat the Pastor” golf outing. The challengers will face Pastor DeGroot and The Maple Valley News, Wednesday, September 10, 1980 — Page 3 also Ron Tutt, chairman of the church board. The event will take place at Tyler Creek Course near Lake Odessa. The musical cantata, “Happiness”, will will be presented Sunday evening, Sept. 21, at 7 p.m. at the Nashville Baptist Church by the Sparta Baptist Youth Choir. Recently returned from a 2-week Mexico tour, the youngsters will also show slides taken on that trip. Mr. and Mrs. Jack (Sandra) Hinckley of rural Hastings continue to recover from injuries sustained when the motorcycle they were riding was struck by a car in Hastings on August 26. They are the children of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Hinckley and Mrs. Pat Dies of Hastings. Jack sustained injuries to both wrists, his ankle, and a thumb which required surgery. Sandra was less seriously hurt, but had multiple bruises. BARRY COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE CALENDAR of EVENTS September 10 - 4-H Saddle Leaders meeting, 7:30 p.m., Extension office, Hastings.

September 10. 1980 — Poge4 Memories of the pas Octagon shaped station made an imprint in Nashville M.J. Hinckley was identified with garage and service station business in Nashville from 1914 until the late '50's working first for J.C. Hurd's Ford Sales. Later, he opera­ ted a garage in the old blacksmith shop on N. Main at Reed. In 1928, he became manager of Dixie's new 8­ sided station at the inter­ section of Fuller and South Main. He closed that during World War II to take a job as a plant guard at E.W. Bliss. In 1947 he reopened on the same corner in a new super station, and contin­ ued to work for subsequent owners after selling the operation in. 1950. Gasoline pumps reflect the "old" and the "new” at the diminutive station that became a landmark during its scant 20-year life on Nashville's south side. Manager M.J. Hinckley dons uniform for another day's work. As Nashville landmarks go, the octagonal Dixie station at the corner of Main and Fuller was very short­ lived. Built in 1928, the tiny building lasted a scant 20 years before it was replaced with a more up-to-date facility. Still, the unique 8-sided structure left a lasting memory for many Nashville residents. Perhaps it was the significance of the year in which it was constructed that made the little station memorable. Many changes occured in Nashville and throughout the nation in 1928, a presidential election year which ended with the overwhelming victory of Herbert Hoover. But all on the horizon was not rosy. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce was apprised of the gloomy outlook when, in the last week of October 1928, Mr. W. L. Matthews of Grand Rapids addressed the local group, speaking on Business Trends and Significance of Signs. “He pointed out that the present trend in the stock market is not sound,’I reported the Nashville News of Matthews’ presentation, “and he warned retailers that the coming year would be a good time to get affairs in order, hold down inventories and prepare for rougher times ahead.’’ The year had started brightly enough on the local scene,, according to excerpts gleaned from 1928 issues of the News. In January, J. C. Hurd, local auto dealer, had an- nounced new low prices for 1928 on Star and Durant cars. “The new Star roadster with rumble seat and coupe both sell for $395,” advised the News. “The Durant Six couple now sells for $1,550, including four-wheel brakes, special double-high transmission and four forward speeds.” In February, Nashville business and professional men organized a local credit exchange, naming E. L. Kane as president;, D. D. •Hess, vice president; G. C. Edmonds, secretary; Chris Marshall, treasurer; and Dr. E. T. Morris, J. C. Hurd and W. J. Liebhauser as directors. “A manager of the exchange is to be hired soon,” noted the News. Grocery prices advertised in the News in March 1928 H&RBLOCK INCOME TAX COURSE begins SEPT. 9th Thousands of people with spare time are earning money as tax preparers in the growing field of Income Tax Service. ' H & R BLOCK is offering a Basic Income Tax Course starting September 9th. Classes will be conducted in Hastings. For 12 weeks students will study all areas of tax preparation and receive actual experience in preparing individual returns. Experienced Block personnel will teach current laws, theory and application as practiced in their offices from coast to coast. There is a classroom lecture on each subject and practice problems at every level. The course is programmed to teach students increasingly complex tax problems as the student progresses. Students find the course interesting and challen­ ging. Anyone may enroll. There are no restrictions or qualifications of any kind. The course is ideally suited for housewives, college students, retired persons, or anyone wanting to increase their tax knowledge. While qualified graduates of the course will be offered job interviews, they are under no obligation to accept employment with H & R BLOCK. Many persons have, however, found this to be ideal for either seasonal or part-time employment. The tuition charged for this course includes all textbooks, supplies and tax forms necessary for completion of the school. Cash or installment plans are available. Certificates are awarded to all graduates who satisfactorily complete the course. Registration forms and brochures for the Income Tax Course may be obtained by writing P.O. Box 367, Hastings 49058 or by calling 945-3341 or 945-5345. reflected the local economy: Two cans of red salmon were selling for 57 cents; Wisconsin cream cheese cost 19 cents a pound, while butter sold for 47 cents a pound, and 2-lbs. of lard cost 25 cents. A 25-lb. bag of flour was 90 cents, and a 2-lb. box of Krispy crackers were going for 25 cents. “Quick & Bean are closing out their South End grocery prepartory to engaging in another line of business,” observed the News in April. “The building has been leased to Brandstetter Motor Sales for use as an auto showroom.” The News also noted in April 1928 that “wheat is soaring away above the twodollar mark, for the first ■time since the war.” In May, the Commercial Hotel in Nashville reported having guests from seven different states in one week, plus a couple from Canada. At Thornapple Lake, Cole & Wade were preparing for the seasonal opening of their popular dancing pavilion. In June, V. E. Troxel bought the old' Marshall & Martens Elevator property and remodeled it into a woodworking plant. That same month, local voters defeated a 14-year bonding proposal designed to raise $70,000 for an addition to the present school building. Declining trade at the local movie house apparently prompted this July notice in the News: “Manager Face of the Star theatre is trying a new scheme to stimulate business. Commencing Saturday night, every theatre pptron will receive a free dish.” In August, the News brought reports relative to transportation, though the scribe was somewhat less than prophetic in one con­ clusion: "The NYCRR this week removed the old planking on the Main Street crossing and installed concrete slabs, which should last a lifetime.” It was also in August 1928 that the village council tabled a petition from seven businessmen, asking for removal of the last hitching A bird's eye view of the old NYCRR water tower shows the octagon at the corner of Fuller and S. Main,, dwarfed by neighboring homes. In this World War III photo, the station stands like a silent sentinal. After the war, it was sold and moved to Lansing. Columns encircle the tiny octagonal station Dixie Oil Co. built in Nashville in 1928, a month before Herbert Hoover was elected. In this mid-30's photo, the station sold Mobilgas for White Star Refinery. rails in Nashville. “When this matter last came up there were vigorous protests from the farm trade,” observed the News, “and it is felt that even in this age of automobiles, some accommodations should be made for the people who drive into town with horses.” New business continued to boom in the village. In September, a Kroger store opened in the Gribben Block, with M. S. Newman as manager. In October, the Dixie Oil Co. of Kalamazoo set about erecting a small octagonal structure at the corner of South Main and Fuller streets. “M. J. Hinckley will be manager of the New Dixie service station,” informed the News. “New Dixie stations are going up all over Michigan but this is the second one to be opened in Barry County.” That same month, the Nashville Chamber of a Commerce made NOTICE Notice is hereby given that at a meeting of the Eaton Intermediate Board of Education and the Ionia Intermediate Board of Education a hearing will be held regarding the transfer of the follow­ ing described property from the Lakewood Public Schools, Lake Odessa, Michigan to the Maple Valley Public Schools, Vermontville, Michigan. This hearing will be held at 8:00 p.m. in the Offices of Eaton Intermediate School District, 1790 E. Packard Highway, Charlotte, Michigan, Phone 543-5500 on September 17, 1980.

Hayden, Secretary �Memories of the past , cooked noteworthy decision at a meeting covered by the .News: "During the business session it was decided to paint the name of the town on the roof of some prominent appearing building, so that airplane travelers will know what town they are passing over.” For the Nashville News, October 1928 was truly a noteworthy month. In only the second time since its establishment iin 1873, the newspaper changed hands. After 40 years as owner and publisher, Len W. Feighner sold the paper to A. B. Mc­ Clure of Buchanan. (Feighner had purchased the News in 1888 from founder Or no Strong.) November brought new duties to Feighner, as duly recorded by his successor in reporting an event that soon would have national impact. “Herbert Hoover won over Alfred Smith in the presidential election Tuesday, by the largest majority in U.S. history,” informed the News. “Unofficial returns give him 444 electoral votes to Smith’s 87. Republican ticket also carried throughout the state, Gov. Fred Green being re­ elected by a huge majority. Len W. Feighner of Nash­ ville was swept into office as representative in representatve ntestate the state legislature from this district, without opposition.” Throughout the tumultuous uuuu times to come, from the Great Depressiion tthrough World War II,, the distinctive little octagon stood like a sentinel on Nash­ ville’s south side.. From Dixie to White Starr and Mobilgas, the station remained under the direc­ tion of Merrill J. Hinckley until he closed it temporarily in 1942 to work in a war plant. pA. After the war, McKee Oil Sales of Hastings builtt a new super station on the site, and Hinckley managed that facility until 1950. The landmark was gone. The tiny octagonal building had been sold and moved to Lansing, but memories of the era that it mirrored still remain.

The new windows are energy-savers, with styrofoam sandwiched between aluminum to create an upper panel. (Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) Nashville schools plan 'open house’ Sept. 11 Ml L were original with the brick structure, built in 1938 as the W. K. Kellogg addition to the old Nashville High School. The wing now serves as an elementary school in the Maple Valley system. The wooden windows had deteriorated so badly that neither paint nor putty would stick to them any longer, said school maintenance supervisor Carl Thrun, and the wood framing was so rotted in some spots that it could be picked apart by hand. “The new windows should be > real energy-savers,” predicted Thrun. They are constructed with one-inch styrofoam sandwiched between two sheets of aluminum to form an upper pane. Frames in attractive brown-painted aluminum hold glass in the lower sashes below the upper goldcolored panels. “Because there is fess glass surface than with the old windows, the classrooms should also be much cooler on real hot days,” explained Thrun. Ventilation also will be improved, as about half the old windows no longer could be opened. The majority of windows replaced are located on the east side of the building. Most of the installation work was from inside the struc­ ture, with pre-cut window frames hoisted neatly into place. Caulking will be done on the exterior.

The busy-ness of our lives, with so much constant activity, often makes me wonder if we don't continue to view being still as a punishment. And yet the. psalmist says it is by being still that we come to know God( WOLEVER’S REAL ESTATE ELSIE E. WOLEVER BROKER ✓ (51 7) 7.26-0637 RES Can we overcome our schedules and allow stillness to be a part of our lives? For it is quite often in the rtioments of stillness, or listening, that we hear - not exactly a voice, but something which comes from our depths, from the stillness that lies deep within us and around us. We hear something which makes us feel at home in our world, something which enables us to gather the pieces together again, something which calms the inner turmoils of our lives. "Be still and know that I am God". I like that a lot on these hot humid days of September. And I need that a lot as well. I need to take time to begin to appreciate the flow of life, unaltered by my strivings and my activity. I need to take my rest in . the calm of simply being alive; to stop the wheels from turning, stop the goals from being set, stop living in tomorrow, stop running and walk, stop walking and simply sit. I need to be still. I need a sabbath in my soul, a time to quiet my heart. What do you need today? Do you need to stop? ( Do you need to let life be?

Although Hessian fly has not been a problem in this county, the threat always remains. I recall last year at this time, when some farmers had planted their wheat early and there was a scare of Hessian fly damage. In reality, we had an unseasonal buildup of aphids which was then feeding in the wheat. I might also point out that early plantings of wheat do not guarantee top yield. We have seen some later plantings really top the scales in past years.

This year’s squad, again under the leadership df Coach Jerry Reese, will be out to better last year’s record of 10-10. Four seniors and five juniors are eager to get the season underway. The seniors include three-year letter winner and co-captain Diane Cook, co-captain Lori Decker, Candace Mater, and Kris Sample. Other promising juniors include letterwinners Melissa Coffman and Melanie Rogers. Up from the junior varsity are Paula Service, Tammi Teachworth, and Sandy Snowden. These girls are expected to make it tough to be beaten. The League schools that are picked to finish on top this season are league champion Portland, runnerup Lakeview with the league’s most valuable player, Pat Doll, and a senior group from Saranac. Fightingitoutfor the other spots will be Maple Valley, Montabella, Central Mont­ calm, Carson City, and Vestaburg. The Lions must try to replace all-conference players Tuesday Aspinall and Julie Barlow, who graduated last year. Hopes are high for Sample, Code, Decker, Coffman, and Rogers to take up the scoring slack. Point guard will be Mater with Rogers acting as back­ up. The rebounding strength will be left up to Decker, Sample, Teachworth, Snowden, and Rogers. Best defensive players are ex­ pected to be Coffman, Service, Mater, and Cook. The junior varsity team will be coached by Michelle Skovera. Thursday the Lions travel to Middleville.

Maple Valley J.V.'s defeat Bellevue 38-6 opening The Maple Valley junior varsity football team had a fine opening day in defeating Bellevue 38 to 6. The key to the victory was the fine blocking of the of­ fensive line, which included Tony Dunkelburger, Jim Yost, Dale Montague, Ron Mapes, Jon Granger, Robbie Franks, Dennis Gardner, and Pete Koetje. Scoring touchdowns for Maple Valley were Ernie Wright, Marty Martin, Tony -Reid -Reid and and Wes Wes Wood Wood (2). (2). Adding extra points were Wes Wood and Lester Caldwell.

Tony Reid also had an 80 yard kick off return for a touchdown. This year’s J. V.s have only 13 sophomores on the team and some were not on , the team last year.

M.V. catures little Brown Jug” in 18-0 romp over Bellevue The “Little Brown Jug” is bagk in circulation and is now residing in the Maple Valley trophy case following an 18-0 football victory by the Lions over the Broncos of Bellevue. It’s the first exchange of the “Jug” since last played for in 1957. The series began in 1935. The Lions dominated virtually every phase of the game last Friday, allowing minus eight yards rushing and 25 yards passing by Bellevue, while registering 279 yards rushing and 24 yards passing themselves. Maple Valley had 19 firsU downs while Bellevue had two, both(‘by penalty. Maple' Valley had three long scoring drives to ac­ count for their three touch­ downs. The first drive was 68 yards in 13 plays, capped by a one yard burst into the end zone by Tom Brooke. The second drive was almost a carbon copy of the first, going 69 yards in 17 plays, ending with a one yard run by the same Tom Brooke. Th6 third drive was a 57 yarder, but this time Ross Nichols dove the final yard. All three conversions failed. Tom Brooke had an out­ standing night at tailback, rushing for 202 yards and two touchdowns on 34 attempts. Ross Nichols added 32 yards, Jeff Beebe ran for 29 yards and added 24 more bn a pass reception, Terry Pierce had 12 yards and Mark Sutfin added four yards to the total. The success of the offense was due to the Hard running of Tom Brooke and the ex- cellent blocking of the of­ fensive line which consisted of Gordon Gardner, Glen Godbey, Mark Siple, Jim Travoli, Newman Maurer, Bruce Carmoney, and Brian Chaffee. Jeff Christensen, Bruce Conklin, Alan Wells, and Walt Maurer replaced the starters at various times with no decrease in ef­ fectiveness. Mark Sutfin also did an excellent job of blocking from his fullback position. Defensively, the Lions were led by the hard charge of 270 pound tackle, Alan Wells, who had five tackles and one assist, including two tackles behind the line of scrimmage. Jeff Beebe also had a good night, coming up from his safety position to register three tackles and two assists. Mark Siple and Jeff Christensen had four tackles each, while Terry Pierce added a Jackie, fumble recovery and two blocked passes from his position at safety. Steve Hummel had the Lions’ only pass in­ terception. Maple Valley’s tackle totals are low since Bellevue only ran the ball fourteen times and completed but six passes. However, the Lions made good use of the few chances they had to tackle Bellevue ball carriers. The game was a huge success for the local football team and illustrates that the team strength is in its of­ fensive and defensive lines and at running back. Although Tom Brooke had a fantastic night, there are several good running backs to take his place when he tires, namely, Jeff Beebe, Ross Nichols, Mark Sutfin, and John Pomeroy. Maple Valley’s quarterbacks, Terry Pierce and Walt Maurer, both showed a great deal of poise and ability to move the team. Neither player has a great deal of experience at the position but you would never have been able to tell that last Friday. The Lions play Lakeview next Friday at home in their first league encounter of the season. Game time is 7 p.m. �The Maple Valley News, Wednesday, September 10, 1980 — Poge 12 Harold Benedict celebrates 70th birthday— Seven .of the children of Harold Benedict, and their available families (Brenda is in Europe), hosted a 70th birthday party for him, with 93 in attendance, at his home at 9495 Round Lake Rd. on August 24.

TIME OFF - The State Civil Service Commission has approved a plan to allow state workers to take unpaid leaves to avert layoffs during the budget crunch; but if layoffs occur, seniority s y will be waived in favor of making g sure that numbers of minorities and women employees do not fall below set levels. BALLOT CHALLENGE - The Supreme Court has agreed to hear in January another challenge to Michigan’s ballot­ access law, which requires minor parties first to get on the ballot by petition, then to get votes in August to qualify for the November ballot. SEPTEMBER SESSION - The legislature has returned for a month-long session which will concentrate primarily on getting the budget to balance for this year and for the fiscal year which begins October 1. All budget bills are now in the House, although the Senate must ultimately agree to any changes which the House makes in bills the Senate has already passed. WELFARE PAYBACK - The Court of Appeals has ruled that'a lower court cannot order a person who has been convicted of welfare fraud to repay to the state the money that was obtained fraudulently, instead of sending the person to jail. State law provides for a maximum penalty of a $2,000 fine and four years in jail: repayment is not allowed as an alternative sentence. JURY LOQIC - The Supreme Court has ruled that a jury’s verdict ofacquittal, which is inconsistent with its verdict for conviction, does not require a reversal of the convictipn. In commenting on a jury’s verdict on a multi-count indictment, the Court said, “Juries are not held to any rules of logic nor are they required to explain their decisions.” HAPPY BIRTHDAY Harold Christianson YOUR WIFE 4-H flower workshop planned By Connie Green,. 4-H Program Assistant members,, and leaders in­ terested in this project area.

CHJ.-Ci i STREET > HASTINGS, MICHIGAN 49051 Gladys Richardson honored as parade 'Grand Marshal' Gladys (Remington) Miller Richardson has been selected as Grand Marshal of Nashville’s 1980 Harvest Nashville village president, serving from 1964-65. However, she is best known only woman to becomefor her nearly half-century of local news reporting. A deep and abiding love of basketball was the impetus that launched a writing career that enriched countless lives. I “Oh, how loved basketball,” comments Mrs. Richardson. Because she served as captain of Nashville High School girls’ basketball team in 1924, the Grand Rapids Press asked her to report game scores from those contests and other local sports. In the early days, Gladys would race to the local NYCRR depot after the game and telegraph the results to the Press. Gladys had moved to Nashville from Sheridan with her parents when she was five years old, and started school here. Her father, the late Henry Remington, was a local barber and also worked as an accountant. He found time, in addition, to serve various terms as both village and township clerk. “It was from him I believe I inherited my interest in public service,” reflects Mrs. Richardson. However, Gladys’ first career was in the news field. Gladys Richardson Four days after graduation Festival parade, set for noon Saturday. . Gladys was the first - and - Party time for the president In honor of the 77th birthday of Nashville's Village President Harold Christiansen, Thursday's council proceedings ended with cake and ice cream. The party was a surprise to Harold and was arranged by his wife, Jo, and others. The unique cake, featuring a barbershop trio singing Happy Birthday to Harold, was created by Village Treasurer Lois Elliston. Shown with Mr. Christiansen just before the cake cutting are other village officials. Seated at left is Clerk Suzy Corkwell and, at right, John Hughes, trustee. Standing, from left, are trustees Calvin Rizor and Helen Curtis: Lois Elliston, treasurer, and trustees Ray Hinckley, Forrest Babcock and Carl Tobias. The audience at Thursday's meeting was also invited to join in the celebration. ~ (Maple Volley photos by Susan Hinckley) from high school with The Class of 1925, she went to work for the Nashville News. The paper then was owned by Len W. Feighner, who had bought the paper in 1888 from its founder, Orno Strong. Fresh out of school with no special training for the post, Gladys now is unsure how she acquired the job. But she took to it like a duck to water. Primarily, Gladys' wrote news but she also did some office work (<jf which she was not fond) and learned to run the equipment, a duty she loved. - “I set type oh the old linotype machine,” noted Gladys. In fact, _ she later became' so proficient that during World War II the Lansing State Journal of­ fered her a job running linotype, which she declined. Gladys had no auto in her early days on the News staff, but gathered her reports on foot or by phone when possible. “I walked up and down Main Street to pick up social items,” she reminisces. Once, she recalls, she wanted to start a weekly column, but didn’t. “Mr. Feighner very wisely discouraged me,” she ex­ plains. He told her the first few weeks would be fine, but soon she would find the pressure of turning out a weekly column to be a burden. “But I was young and energetic and had ideas I wanted to share,” said Gladys. She continued to write for the News on a full­ time basis for about 5 years, then began to write at home as a free-lance contributor. She also wrote as correspondent reporter for the Old Battle Creek Moon Journal (Now the Enquirer & News), the Grand Rapids Press, the Grand Rapids Herald, the Lansing State Journal, the Detroit papers, praise all the cooperation United Press international, she received from local and Associated Press, the area authorities.

Lack of response (to the questionnaire) puts up a roadblock to us.” Statistics gleaned from the questionnaire which was distributed locally by Kostosky in late July will be compiled to form a basis for the downtown development plan. An advisory committee comprised of local citizens will work closely with Gove Associates in formulating recommendations relative to improving Nashville’s downtown business district. The questionnaire which Kostosky says takes about half an hour to complete, asks such things as square footage of store or office building, types of uses in the structure, business volume and various individual perferences regarding such items as whether the mer­ chant feels there are adequate parking facilities, etc. Kostosky said his firm is seeking insight into “things the merchants would like to see” in way of improving the business district. “There are fewer than thirty businesses in Nash­ ville,” noted Kostosky. “When six or seven don’t respond to the questionnaire, that’s a large percentage. It’s absolutely critical that we get as many responses as possible.” The statistical information gathered in the survey will be lumped together to for­ mulate recommendations which Gove will furnish the village as part of the downtown development plan. The project is being financed under a $405,000 Community Block Grant from the U.S. Dept, of Housing and Urban Development for the greater Nashville area. Other programs currently underway or recently completed under the HUD grant include building a new safety center to house the local Nashville-based am­ bulance department; con­ structing a community center and meeting hall for Maple Grove Township; storm windows, foundation repair and a barrier-free entrance at Putnam Public Library, and residential rehabilitations for several low-income homeowners. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, September 17, 1980 — Page 2 Nashville News All area gardeners, far­ air balloon ride, and who can mers and “green thumbs,” possible resist the Jaycees’ take note., As in days past, crazy “Give-A-Goat” outstanding produce exhibits campaign?

Maple Valley LIONS” - Roar Lions Roar �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday. September 17, 1980 — Page 4 First Harvest Festivals were successful celebrations — Author’s note: By request the following _ story is reprinted from the Sep­ tember 26, 1979 Memories feature which traced Nash­ ville’s annual Harvest Festival celebrations, from the initial observance in 1906 up to modern times. Next week, as a sort of “second installment’’, we will present additional early festival photos which space does not permit us to use this week.) Four thrilling balloon ascensions helped lift Nash­ ville’s first annual Harvest Festival off the ground. Professor Mexiell of Grand Rapids was in town to do the aerial honors. Early in the summer of 1906, Nashville merchants had begun laying preliminary groundwork for a one-day celebration. By mid-August, two balloon ascensions, two ball games, sports of various kinds, acrobatics, band concerts and evening fireworks were slated, and the event had blossomed into a 2-day affair set for August 31 and Sept. 1. The festival came off in even grander style than anticipated, earning Nash­ ville the reputation of “doing all she promises and a little more,” boasted the Nash­ ville News. The number of promised balloon ascensions had doubled. “Nashville’s Harvest Festival of 1906 is over and done, but it will be long remembered as the most successful celebration ever promoted here,” noted the News in a recap of the event. “Everything went off precisely as advertised, except that the parade, planned for Friday morning, was postponed until af­ ternoon on account of threatening weather.” However, the weather had cleared off nicely and there were several thousand people in town by noon Friday and perhaps twice that number attended the celebration on Saturday, according to News estimates. “Claude Smith and Russell Marble shared the honors in dash events,” reported the News. “Seth Graham won the hop-step-and-jump, the standing jump, the mile run, and the half-mile run.” A tug-of-war between two teams representing Castleton and Maple-Grove townships was the “best ever”, accprding to the News; the four balloon ascensions were “par­ ticularly thrilling”, and the baseball games and dances both nights were “excellent”. In wrapping up the 1906 festival, the News advised readers that “it has now been definitely decided to make such a Harvest Festival an annual event.” Preparations for the 1907 Nashville VFW 8260 and AUXILIARY Fish Fry FRIDAY, SEPT. 19th SERVING 5:30 P.M. to 7:30 P.M.

Main Street was lined with booths and' tents; street merchants were getting in shape to display their wares; merry-go-rounds, doll and cane racks were in place; and moving pictures and wild west shows and all sorts of entertainment were in readiness for opening day. “The merchants were all busy making arrangements for the grand industrial parade of Wednesday forenoon, which will greatly eclipse the fine one of last year,” predicted the News. “Now if we can only have weather as . is promised, Nashville will give the people of the surrounding country the two biggest and best days they have ever seen.” Davis’ “Mexican Bill Wild West Show” had pulled into town Tuesday and set up stakes in the west end of Sherman Street next to Main, where they held forth with a team of buffaloes and many other attractions. Large crowds flocked to Nashville for the event; in fact, the crowd on Thursday was “the largest ever seen in the village,” observed the News. ’ The weather was ideal and could not have been better if it had been made to order. There was not a single ac­ cident to mar the fun, everything passed off as advertised, and spectators were highly pleased with the or^™ - marchers... NEEDED!!

The 1911 Harvest Festival had a gala parade which was featured daily for the 2-day event, and it was made up of no less than 27 colorful floats.

(Photo loaned, courtesy Fred Ackett) entertainment, according to the News report. “Everything that was advertised was given, and much more,” declared the News in recapping the 1907 affair. “The festival exemplified the truth of the reputation Nashville has of never doing anything by halves.” Succeeding years brought a repeat of the annual celebration, with a few new added attractions from time to time. “A watermelon eating contest and a smoking contest will be given at the south end of Main Street during the Harvest Festival,” advised the News in August 1908. The year, Nashville’s “Third Annual Big Time” was rated a complete success from beginning to end, with “fine weather and no accidents to mar the celebration.” A special feature of the 1909 Harvest Festival was the appearance of the Battle Creek division of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias under the command of Capt. S. M. Fowler of Maple Grove. That per­ formance would highlight the day. “It will take place at Riverside Park, im­ mediately following the ball games, but admission for the drill will be free,” informed the News. “The gates will be thrown open immediately following the close of the game, so that all may see the drill free of charge.” The following year, the News could not report "no accidents to mar the festivities,” as two un­ pleasant incidents did occur during Nashville’s 1910 celebration. The proprietor of the Uneeda Lunch Room, whom the News described as a “school boy just recently started in business,” was arrested the first day of the festival by Deputy Sheriff Manni of Hastings for selling a drink called Tonica, a near-beer. The accused was taken to Hastings on the 3:55 p.m. train to appear before Justice Bishop to be bonded for examination. The News said the young lad had been persuaded by the maker of the goods to handle them, with the promise that if he got into trouble they would stand back of him. “They have dealers at Hastings, Vermontville, Charlotte, in fact, all towns around, handling the same line of goods without being molested by officers,” contended the News. “He (the young proprietor) had supposed he was within the law.” Thursday proved to be a rather disastrous day for Nashville’s 1910 festival. A sad mishap marred the traditional parade. “Billy, the proud old white horse owned by Mrs. C. J. Scheidt, dropped dead while being rode in the street parade Thursday,” lamented the News. “Walter Scheidt was riding him when he became frightened by an auto.” Such misfortune not­ withstanding, Nashville continued to stage the annual festival, attracting attendants from far and wide. In 1926, Michigan’s Governor Alexander J. Groesbeck was present at the celebration to deliver a brief Friday af­ ternoon address. The festival continued until 1931 when the doldrums of the Great Depression seriously hampered financial backing for the yearly affair. However, by August 1935 Nashville’s Harvest FestivalHomecoming was reborn “in real carnival spirit,' with enthusiasm which comes from the presence of many people,” rejoiced the News. In addition to providing a chance for greeting old friends and relatives, that year’s event also served as a dedication of Nashville’s newly-completed $70,000 bridge and highway im­ provements on North Main, a National Recovery Act project designed to help relieve the pinched economy on a local level. A second national crisis — World War II — interrupted Harvest Festival ob­ servances again in 1941, and the celebrations were not resumed until 1951. By then, the event was sponsored by Nashville’s Fire Dept, and other civic organizations and labeled as a Harvest Festival - Community Fair. The annual affair survived into the 1960’s, until Nash­ ville’s 1969 Centennial ob­ servance outshone all past festivals in the village. New life was again breathed into the traditional celebration in 1977 when the Riverside Recreational Development Corp, resurrected Nashville’s annual Harvest Festival, helping the community build bridges to many happy memories of the past. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, September 17, 1980 Local youth win awards at 4-H Livestock ‘Expo By Nancy Diuble, Ext. 4-H Youth Agent Twenty Eaton county 4-H members participated in the 1980 Michigan 4-H Livestock Expo, held August 18-21 at Michigan State University.

TAX INCREASE? - The Attorney General has expressed his support for Proposal E, which would raise the income tax .1 percent-to build and improve Michigan prisons. A recent voter poll shows 5.6 percent in favor of added taxes for this purpose. Additionally, I support this proposal. TRAVEL AGENTS - The Senate has defeated for a second time and thus killed HB 4523, which would have required registration and regulation of travel agents. Opposition centered on license fee amounts and the basic question of added regulation. The State Board of Canvassers has set the following language to appear on the November ballot for the various proposals (explanations will also be provided): PROPOSAL A - A proposal to make local school boards responsible for school personnel and programs, to reduce local property tax maximums for operational purposes, to provide additional property tax relief for senior retirees, and require the state to raise revenues necessary for equal pre-pupil funding of public schools. (This is the “Smith Bullard” proposal.) PROPOSAL B - A proposal to reduce the legal drinking age. . PROPOSAL C - A proposal to provide property tax relief; to reimburse local and state governments with additional sales tax; to mandate net state lottery revenue for schools; and to mandate state “rainy day” fund. (This is the Coalition proposal.) PROPOSAL E - A proposal to construct four regional prison facilities, demolish the Michigan reformatory, effect other state and local correctional purposes, develop preventive-programs and provide the funds therefore by increasing the state income tax by one-tenth of one percent for a five year period. PROPOSAL G - A proposal to allow the legislature to pass laws relating to their constitutional exemption from civil arrest during legislative sessions. PROPOSAL H - A proposal to restrict the authority of the Lieutenant Governor and set up a procedure to fill a vacancy in the office of Lieutenant Governor. The status of Proposal D (“Tisch”) is uncertain due to a court ruling which found its petitions defective and ordered the Board not to take action on preparing it for the ballot. si^ MULBERRY FORE presents...

Rockwelj_________________ Secretary, Board of Education �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, September 17, 1980 — Page 6 Landmark's days are numbered By Susan Hinckley Days are numbered for an historical Nashville land­ mark, following action Thursday by the village council. At their regular meeting, Nashville officials accepted a bid of $5,280 from Battle Creek Wrecking Company to level an 1892 water tower situated on a hill in Putnam Park, near the village’s northern boundary. The old 85,000 gallon tower has been replaced by a 400,000 gallon tower built in another area of town during a 1975 municipal water system expansion program. Now empty, the old 86 ft. high standpipe is considered hazardous due to a crum­ bling stone and concrete foundation. The hilltop location, which made the tower a dominant figure in Nashville’s land­ scape for the past 88 years, also contributes to the danger, village officials ■believe. They say the structure could be toppled in a high wind. Four bids for demolition of the tower were received by the village two weeks ago. The bids, ranging from $20,000 to the low of $5,280, were tabled then, pending clarification of how the structure would be leveled. The council disclbsed Thursday that the Battle Creek Wrecking Company proposal calls for “laying down or dismantling” the tower with use of a 50-ton crane. The tank will be cut up and the debris hauled away by the contractor. The village will be responsible for removal of a chain link fence which now surrounds, the site, clearing the foundation material and filling the hole. In other action Thursday, the council accepted a high bid of $4,025 from Rasey Construction .Company of Nashville for a used Ingersoll air compressor and tools which the village had advertised for sale. But the council rejected a bid of $3,525 for a White tractor and loader which also aad been offered for sale at the same time. The high bid on the tractor was submitted by Maple Valley Implement of Nashville. Trustee Forrest Babcock suggested retaining the old tractor as an auxiliary unit for the Dept, of Public Works. The village recently purchased a $22,708 General backhoe with attachments, which was expected to replace the White tractor; “It’s worth more than that (the high bid amount) to the $ Maple Valley... | Class of 1975 it Reunion FOR CLASS MEMBERS AND A GUEST (Date Changed) SEPT. 20,6 to 10 p.m. NASHVILLE VFW HALL — Cash Bar Bring a dish to pass and own tabl&service.

By Allen Krizek, County Extension Director The unending rains are proving to be a problem not only for the farmers, but also the rural residents due to the high mosquito population. All mosquitoes require standing water for the hatching and development of the young - and standing water is certainly plentiful this year. According to Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension director, some mosquitoes lay eggs on damp, or even dry soil where they may survive many months before they are flooded by water and hatch. Others deposit eggs directly on water where they hatch within a short period of time. The most effective and permanent method for controling mosquitoes consists in eliminating stagnant and slow flowing water by proper drainage, land fills, water management or a com­ bination of these measures. Since many mosquitoes fly a mile or more to obtain a blood meal, control measures must extend out at least that distance from your home to be effective. Krizek advises removing all items from the yard that hold water. Old tires, cans, and bottles, drums, etc.,make ideal breeding sites for mosquitoes. Children’s wading pools should be stored indoors when not in use. Low areas in the yard should be filled in or drained to prevent ponding of water. Keep rain gutters clean and eliminate standing water on flat roofs. When it is not possible to eliminate all mosquito water from your property and adjacent areas, you must supplement the control program with adult control procedures. This consists of treating the vegetation in your yard with a residual insecticide, or misting or fogging outdoor areas that are to be used. The suggested insecticide is malathion. Finally if control still is not effective, persons may protect themselves with a mosquito repellant. They are sold in a variety of formulations such as lotions, creams, and aerosol sprays. noiMilatF • September 19 & 20 • by Riverside Recreational Corp.) (Sponsored Development the 40% OFF on all...

Leading tacklers for Maple Valley were: Mark Siple 11 tackles, Jeff Beebe 10 tackles, Newman Maurer 10 tackles, Terry Pierce 9 tackles and Alan Wells 9 tackles. Maple Valleys offensive line continues to do a great job for Tom Brooke and the other running backs. Newman Maurer, Mark Siple, Jeff Christensen, Bruce Carmony, Jim Travoli, Gordie Gardner and Glen Godbey are excellent offensive blockers. John Pomeroy also did an ex­ cellent job of blocking from his fullback position. Maple Valley’s specialty teams did a good job of containing Lakeview and giving Maple Valley good field position on kicks. The teams only weakness was its defense where occasional lapses allowed Lakeview to make the big play. The Lions record now stands at 1-1 with non­ conference opponent Pennfield coming to town next Friday at 7:30. —— Fourth-fifth graders score a victory Nashville Little League football was kicked off by fourth and fifth grades team with a victory over Lake Odessa 14-0. A very well played game by both ‘teams - Nashville and Lake Odessa. Within the first few seconds, Scott Lenz brought the ball within 1 yd. of the goal and carried across by Chris Thompson for the first touchdown and the conversion for 2 pts. with a score of 8-0. Robbie Norton made an outstanding play by penetrating the able Lake Odessa offense. Those making outstanding tackles throughout the game are Scott Lenz, Robert Norton, Rich Ward, Brian Stahl, Billy Brenton, Eric Heack, Tony Wolf and Brad McKee. In the second half, Scott Lenz threw a fine pass to Billy Brenton, who ran the second touchdown, failing to make second conversion to make it Nashville 14, Lake Odessa 0. In the last few seconds, Bryan Filter in- Golf-team drops three Maple Valley 203,' Lakewood 189; Maple Valley 199, Montabella 189; Maple Valley 188, Portland 156. The Maple Valley golf team gave away their first two matches to Lakewood and Montabella. Both op­ ponents could not handle the long tough golf course in Nashville. The only problem was neither could Maple Valley. If we could have cut down our three putt greens and out of bounds, we would have won both matches. In the third match, Por­ tland fired a 35, 40, 40, 41. Portland can beat just about anyone in the league on their home course. Most of .their golfers play anywhere from 18-27 holes of golf a day all summer and it shows. After three matches, our low average golfer is Jerry Gould with a 47.6. Second is Cory Furlong, 49.5; third is Gordon Gardner, 50.5; fourth is Eric Wolff, 50.6. Tom McMillen had a fine 47 in the Montabella match but his average, is up to 53. Almost every golfer on the team could lower his average by 3 strokes if they would practice chipping and putting more. Maple Valley will play Lakeview, Central Mont­ calm and Saranac this week. Nashville 6th grade Little League wins opener The Nashville Sixth Grade Little League Football team opened the season Saturday with a 8-6 victory over Lake Odessa. Matt -Owen went the distance in the opening minutes of play to make Nashville’s touchdown. Robert Millious added- two more points by running in the extra point. The score remained 8-0 until the fourth quarter when Lake Odessa climaxed a strong offensive drive with a touchdown. An alert Nash­ ville defensive team dug in and held firm to prevent the extra points and a tied game. Both teams threatened several times but neither team was able to cash in on the points column. Coaches Don Steinbrecher and Jeff Carpenter were very pleased with the teams performance. Playing for Nashville this year are Earl Craven, George Steinbrecher, Matt Owen, Paul Bahs, Robert Millious, Steve Smith, Eric Cornwell, Ricky Dean, John Weber, Matt McClelland, Jeff Toten, Patrick Preibe, Frank. Purchis, Steve Cross, Mike Preibe, Scott Reid, Ray Wolcott, Billy Peake, Jeff Tobias, Jeff Sebastian and Andy Finkler. Next week’s game will be played at Sunfield. The games start at 3:00 p.m. with the fourth and fifth grade team playing first tercepted a pass to accent the very excellent coaching by Ken Mead and Bill Brenton. The coaches would like to thank Dick Martin and John Bitgood for making sure players got to play. Both coaches commented they had been worried about the defensive end position which was filled by Tony Wolf who made six outstanding tackles. This week’s game will be at Sunfield at 3 p.m. Maple Valley dominates Carson City 17-42 The Maple Valley Lions cross country team had six runners place in the top seven while defeating Carson City 17-42.

The Valley squad dominated play in the first half building a 9 point lead with 2:58 remaining to be played in the first half. Middleville’s Trojan girls never let up, however, and threatened several times in the second half. They closed the gap to 29-34 with 2:36 left in the third quarter. Valley built up the lead again to 10 points by the start of the final quarter but some quick Trojan buckets put them right back in the game 39-45 with 3 minutes to play. Melanie Rogers then sank two free-throws that inspired both offense and defence. Valley exploded outscoring their opponents 14-2 and ending the game with a 53-42 point win. This game showed the Lion balanced attack with 4 players in double figure scoring. Diane Cook again led the Lion with 14, Melanie Rogers a" career high of 12, Melissa Coffman 11, Kim Sample 11, Lori Decker 3 and Candace Mater 2. Valley girls defeated both their opponents last.week to start their new basketball season. Bellevue fell Monday and Middleville followed on Tuesday. Co-Captian Lori Decker scored the first two Lion points Monday as the visiting team” rattled off 14 pts. Gal eagers win two, now 2-1 The Maple Valley Girls basketball team notched 2 wins in their first week of action, knocking off Bellevue and Middleville. On Monday, Sept. 8, Maple Valley edged Bellevue 47-43. Senior Diane Cook dropped in 18 points, a career high. Lori Decker was the leading rebounder pulling down 11, as Maple Valley out rebounded Bellevue 39-31. On Thursday Sept. 11, Maple Valley rolled over Middleville 53-43.. Maple Valley built a 10 point advantage in the first half and held on to it the rest of the way. Cook again paced the attack with 14 points and 6 steals. Decker led reboun­ ders with 11, and Melissa Coffman contributed 6 steals > to the Maple Valley cause. Coach Jerry Reese says that excellent teamwork has been the key to success so far. before host Bellevue scored. But Valleys offense slowed after the half and Bellevue tied the game at 16 all with 6:25 to play in the third quarter. The Bronco’s went ahead for the only time in the game one minute later - but only briefly. Melissa Coff­ man stole the ball twice under the Lion basket and scored four quick points to put the Lions ahead again. Defense and Diane Cook dominated the fourth quarter as the defense continued to score for Valley and Diane Cook hit 6 of 9 free throws to score a career high of 18 points and Melissa Coffman added 11 points, Lori Decker 9, Melanie Rogers 6, and Candace Mater 3 to give Valley a 47-43 win. Defence and free-throws were "again the margin of victory on Thursday as the Lions traveled to Middleville for a 53-42 win. The exciting parts of the game are often overlooked for the high scoring game. Lion fans will not overlook such fast exciting passing, intimaditing defense, rebounding in the air, lightning fast breaks, and patience to attack a set defense or the sign of an aggressive, disciplined basketball team. Coach Reese is most excited with the unselfish team play and the team ability to help our defense.

What is it? The Answer is botulism toxin. What happens when you eat it? The botulism toxin attacks the central nervous system causing paralysis and this can be fatal.

Because the botulism bacteria is very common, and because it can grow and multiply without oxygen in sealed containers of all low acid foods like vegetables and meats, home canned low acid foods should be either pickled or processed in a pressure canner. How does this help prevent possible illness and'death? Using pressure processing with temperature above 240 degrees for a specified time kills the botulism spores. Pickling provides an acid solution where botulism spores can’t produce their toxin <poison).

Senior citizens are reminded of the property tax relief that is available to many through the filing of the senior citizens homestead property tax credit claim which allows full reimbursement on a household income of less than $3,000 annually. For senior citizens (over 65 years old) there is a sliding scale. Household Income % Not refundable Credit or Rebate $0 to $3000 $3001 to $4000 $4001 to $5000 $5001 to $6000 over $6000 0% 1% 2% 3% 3.5% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% to $1200 maximum to $1200 to $1200 to $1200 ' to $1200 Seventeen percent of the annual rent paid for your dwelling may be claimed by the senior citizen as equivalent property tax. Persons living in a nursing home may claim $1500 or 30 percent of the nursing home charges annually as rent equivalent. Senior citizens living in a mobile home park may claim (as property tax) $36 per year plus 17 percent of the annual rent paid. Property tax relief benefits are also available to some veterans, blind, paraplegic, quadriplegic or totally disabled persons through the filing of the property tax credit claim. For non-senior citizens (under 65 years old) the taxpayer is expected to pay at least 3.5 percent of the household income in property taxes. The non­ senior citizen is eligible for a state income tax credit or rebate of sixty percent of the property taxes paid above this 3.5 percent figure to a maximum of $1200. At a special meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education June 23, program reductions for the 1980-81 school year were approved in the amount of $326,949.49, Such reductions are necessary considering the economy of the State of Michigan and anticipated state aid dollars this school year will be much less than necessary to help maintain the program provided in 1979-80 school year. The first stateaid payment for this school year which was received in August showed- a reduction of $26,302.25 per an executive order. Also, the enrollment will decrease approximately sixty students which results in further loss of state aid dollars. Therefore, the only way to receive additional dollars for school operation under the present state aid act which is based upon a state-local concept is through approval of ad­ ditional millage at the local level. The state aid formula sets a limit on the amount of dollars behind each child based upon the amount of operational mills levied. This results in the local percentage going up as property valuations increase and the state percentage decreases. The reductions in program included an 12 and 13. Millage cont. page 14 — Athletic Boosters conduct door-to-door canvass Harvesting a good time in Nashville The hot air balloon ascension topped off an exciting day. Getting ready for launch was nearly as exciting as liftoff. First, the gondola was tipped on its side and attached to the balloon, deflated and stretched to great lengths on the ground. Slowly the balloon was inflated with a large fan, as the crew made necessary connections. The balloon slowly grew in size, billowing higher and wider. Then suddenly a blast of heat from a gas burner lifts the rainbow hued balloon upright. Willing hands help hold the rig on the ground to prevent a Wizard of Oz incident while inflation continues.

In the Jr.-Sr. High School staff reductions included a social studies physical education teacher, Spanish - reading teacher, in-school suspension room, vocal music (teacher also handled elementary), and part time business education teacher.

At the elementary level, an elementary- counsellor was Boarded and ready for liftoff are passengers Darlene Hughes (left) and George Frith and pilot Karen Mills.

A door-to-door canvass Wednesday evening, Sep­ tember 24, by the Maple Valley Athletic Boosters will attempt to raise $8,700 to reinstate the athletic programs that were eliminated in the local schools during a recent budget-slashing session by the Maple Valley Board of Education. The cuts were made following a June 9 millage defeat, but even if the same 3-mill -proposal passes on September 29, donations will still be needed, say MVAB officials. If the millage fails again, they expect to raise their goal to a higher amount. “But in no way is the Athletic Boosters organization trying to push the millage issue,” said MVAB Vice President An­ drew Joostberns of Ver­ montville. He explained that because of recent state cutbacks in school funding, the drive by the MVAB will still be needed. The MVAB plans to continue raising funds regardless of the millage election outcome. Joostberns said he regretted the recent con­ fusion caused when a flier from the MVAB was mailed along with one from the Maple Valley Concerned Citizens, an organization pushing for millage passage. The message was sent to all box holders in the Maple Valley School District as a public service by the Maple Valley Education Association. “There is no affiliation between the Athletic Boosters and the Concerned x Citizens,” said Joostberns, “although some boosters are concerned parents.” He added that the sole purpose Canvass cont. page 14 — �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday. September 24, 1980 —- Page 2 Nashville News Nashville's rich heritage has been preserved in part at the newly renovated Waterworks Building in Putnam Park. Now, dedication ceremonies are set for 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28, at the 1891 structure on North Main. The former pump house has been revitalized for use as a Community Center. It will become Nashville’s official council chambers and also will be used for other public meetings. In addition, the building may be used for private parties by special arrangement. Kitchen and restroom facilities are in­ eluded. The old structure, which once housed steam pumps to lift Thornapple River water into the nearby standpipe, has become a thing of beauty. Last winter, rejuvenation started with installation of wallboard, a dropped ceiling and a free­ standing circular brick fireplace. This past summer, beautiful murals depicting Nashville’s history have been added to the walls under the direction of local artist Dale Ann Morawski. Two youths employed under the CETA program have assisted in the work which involved painting old church pews to serve as seating in the center. Now white with colorful trim, the ancient benches once saw service in Nashville’s 1881 Methodist Church. The next step is painting the concrete floor in a shade of - dark green to blend with the murals depicting the old standpipe, the old grist mill, the band­ stand in Putnam Park, the Sugar Shanty, and the Thornapple River. The village council recently considered installing carpet in the building but opted for the paint job, at least tem­ porarily. The dedication service will feature light refreshments and a tour of the facility after opening and closing prayers by local ministers and remarks by Village President Harold Christiansen, a prime mover behind the restoration. He will introduce Ms. Morawski and her assistants. Mrs. Gunda Pennock of Nashville enjoyed a recent weekend at Gun Lake at the homes of her daughters, Nancy and Randy Knowles and children, and Mrs. Ardyce Noble and family. On Saturday, Mrs. Pennock accompanied Mrs. Knowles to Peru, Indiana for a shopping excursion. Mrs. Gloria Johncock of Nashville was the guest of honor at a September 9th luncheon at the Cornwell Turkey Farm near Marshall, as a belated observance of her August 16th birthday. The party was delayed due to recent surgery and repeated hospitalization of Mrs. Johncock last month. At­ tending the recent luncheon were Mrs. Margaret Swiger and Mrs. Barbara Mix, both of Nashville; Mrs. Virginia Cox, Mrs. Barbara Gagne and Mrs. Lois Gardner, all of Vermontville.

Putnam Public Library in Nashville. Since that time, the tiny room thought to Gertrude’s have been quarters in. the Putnam residence has been in­ formally known as the “maid’s room”. Last week, the library board took of­ ficial action to designate the room as the “Friends’ Room”, in honor of the local Friends of the Library, who have been very active in aiding the facility in many ways and largely responsible for recent renovation of the “maid’s room” for public use. Located in the southeast corner of the second floor, that area will now house Putnam Library’s rare book collection. The volumes will be stored in special glass cases and display shelves soon to be constructed by a local contractor. New car­ peting and wallpaper have brightened the room, and the FOL has donated an antique oak library table to provide a reading area since the rare books are too valuable to be circulated. Gertrude Beigh was the daughter of Julius and Clara Beigh, who lived south of Nashville, and early News accounts indicate she took her life due to despondency caused by seeing her boyfriend with another girl. Those early accounts indicate she borrowed a gun belonging to Putnam’s hired man, shot herself in the room, and expired in the upper hallway. Mrs. Putnam was entertaining guests below at the time, probably in what is now the Main Floor reference room. A note left by Gertrude shed little light on the act, according to early News stories, but the- case AREA CHURCH SCHEDULES PEACE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH OF BARRYVILLE VERMONTVILLE BIBLE CHURCH ST.

By Susan Hinckley Author's note: These photos of Nashville's early Harvest Festivals are presen­ ted as a sequel to last week's Memories story that traced the annual affair from the initial 1906 celebration up to modern times. Space did not permit us to use these pictures with ith that account, which first appeared as a Memories feature in September 1979. Bands were an integral part of early Harvest Festival parades. Outsiders were often invited to participate, but none was so loved or admired by Nashville residents as the hometown band of Hi Walrath. Before the days of high school bands, Walrath s musicians supplied music for almost all social functions and events in the village. Lounging on the school lawn in this about-1908 photo are several members of Walrath's band and their friends. From left to right: Elton Clifford, Edwin Kane, "Ab" Mason, Bill Ackett, Kent Nelson, Frank Purchis, Carl Lentz, Tom Copeland, Herbie Walrath, Guy Hummel. Back in 1911 Nashville staged the greatest annual Harvest Festival-Homecoming, with a gala parade that was featured daily on Thursday and Friday. It was made up of no less than 27 colorful floats. Rothhaar & Son won first prize for the most beautiful entry and L. E. Pratt's entry won the prize as the most comical. However, the News account of the parade stated that the entry of Barker the Baker (pictured here) pushed the Pratt float hard for honors and had the crowd along Main Street in stitches with their antics. Dressed-up characters standing aboard Baker's hayrack are, from left: Otis Gokay, William Mater, Robert MesMes­ simer, Leon Partridge, Cleve Straw, Clarence Mater, Marvin Sheldon, Ernest Barker, Frank Purchis, Jesse Tarbell and Fred Hire. Can you identify anyone on this early float? Occupants and location are unknowti, but the photo's owner is certain it is from a Nashville Harvest Festival. The baby-faced driver, looking a bit like a top-hatted leprechaun, appears to be a very young boy. There is also a Small child seated between the man and woman in the front seat of the buggy. A lone flag-draped horse pulls a small buggy decorated by Barker the Baker, popular float maker for Nashville s early festivals. The driver is unidentified but the passengers are believed to be Aura Munroe, left, and Edna Shilling. The Buxton residence (present-day Wilson home) at the corner of State and Reed is in background. While parades were popular Harvest Festival events, other activities including vaudeville and trapeze acts, ball games, athletic and sporting contests (even a ladies wood-sawing race), band concerts, street dances,, carnival attractions, balloon ascensions, and (in the 1920's) airplane rides.

Rockwell Secretary, Board of Education Health nurses, school nur­ ses, and physical education teachers will be conducting the examinations. Each examination takes about 30 seconds. Spinal deformities often develop during the years of early adolescence, when young people grow very rapidly. If the abnormalities are found in the early stages, they usually can be kept from getting worse and from doing serious damage. Treatment is simpler and more effective when the conditions are detected early. By screening students who are in the years of rapid growth, early detection will be possible. Participation in the program is voluntary. It is hoped that most parents will want their children to take part in the screening program. Signs of Scoliosis are found in approximately four percent of young people, but continued follow-up . or treatment is needed only in Nashville area ‘United Fund’ campaign to begin October 1st — The Nashville Area United Fund will begin with a “Kick-off” October 1st at the United Methodist Com­ munity House at 9:30 a.m. 1980-81 Campaign Chairperson, Illa Steward, announced that Mr. H.

The brace does not interfere with most activities, including non­ contact sports. In more advanced cases, surgery is required. Students who are found to need further evaluation during the 1st screening will be rescreened at a later date in October, by a Public Health consultant, from MDPH, Division of Services to Crippled Childrea Both the initial screening and rescreening are conducted at no charge to the school or student. Parents will be notified and urged to take the student to a physician for further evaluation if in­ dicated by the rescreening. Spinal^ screening (Scoliosis) is planned to be an annual event in schools. Experience elsewhere shows that after a few years of annual screening, the need for surgery can be eliminated almost entirely, anti many young people who might have developed a permanent disability or deformity remain fully active and show virtually no signs of a serious condition . If parents have any questions, they are en­ couraged to contact their local Health Department. For all your INSURANCE NEEDS See or Call...

And though it will be the second time in less than four months they have faced the issue, few took time to arm themselves with facts presented at a Wednesday evening meeting. Turnout at the event was rated as "poor” by organizer Larry Filter, head of a citizens? committee sup­ porting passage of the proposal which was defeated 536-354 on June 9. Filter was responsible for leading a successful petition drive to get the issue back on the ballot. \ About 35 persons were present for Wednesday meeting in the high school cafeteria. The district has approximately 4,800 registered voters. "I hate paying taxes just like anyone else,” Filter told the audience, “^ut education is about the best place you can put your money. I want my kids to have the same chances as others before therrf.” The June millage defeat led to cutbacks in several school programs including dropping of elementary physical education, art and music, and vocal music at the Junior-Senior high level; reduction of athletic programs, and the elimination of nine teaching positions. Superintendent Carroll Wolff told the audience that the problem facing the Maple Valley District is common throughout the state. "As long as we’re under the present state aid system,” said Wolff, "the only way we can get in­ creased (state) dollars is through added millage.” The present state aid formula sets a limit on the amount of dollars paid for each enrolled student based upon the amount of operational mills levied by the school district. The formula is based on a state­ local sharing which results in the local percentage going up as property valuations increase and the state percentage decreasing. Maple Valley is a low millage district, noted Wolff, and the district has relied heavily on state monies in the past. “Out of 529 K-12 districts in Michigan, 520 have a greater WiUfe, ®tet.

Wolff said there was “lots of concern” over three tax­ cutting proposals facing Michigan oters November. The state’s economic crunch has already forced a reduction in state aid to schools. That loss coupled with the June millage defeat prompted the Board of Education to slash nearly $327,000 from the school’s 1980-81 budget in early July. The proposed 3-mill in­ crease would generate ap­ proximately $254,000, according to figures presented by Wolff. The last operational millage increase at Maple Valley was in 1974. The district presently operates on 22.3 mills, of which 14 have been approved by voters and 8.3 allocated by the county. Current Maple Valley enrollment is about 1,820 students. “Even with passage of the millage increase, we will have to make some ad­ justments in the budget,” said Wolff. Both he and board member Robert Dormer cited inflation as a factor. Wolff offered comparison amounts between 1975-76 operational costs and the present budget. Heating fuel jumped from $38,610 to an estimated $61,000 for the current school year. The cost of custodial supplies has nearly doubled in that 5-year period, rising from $9,075 to $18,000. Wolff said transportation was a very big item, reaching an estimated $357,000 for the current budget. "There was a time when we paid 13 cents a gallon for gasoline for the busses,” he reflected. The single largest expense in the budget is for per­ sonnel, Wolff said. In a question and answer session following the superintendent’s presentation/ he and several board members were quizzed on a variety of issues. They also heard a wide range of voter opinion including thoughts that the school was putting sports ahead of basic Local volunteers attend 'key' leader training Eight Eaton County 4-H For more information adult volunteer leaders about 4-H leader training attended the Regional 4-H opportunities or new 4-H Leader Training meeting in projects contact Diuble at Jackson, September 15. the Eaton County Extension Representing Eaton County Service office, or call 543­ were: Sharon King, Judy 2310.

Phone 945-9554 for ACTION ADS education; that there was too much emphasis on programs geared for college-bound students at the expense of the majority who do not pursue higher education; and that the elementary level programs should not be sacrificied. The board also faced some hard-hitting questions: how could they justify a recent $23,000 driveway paving project at Maplewood Elementary when money is short; and why was $3,700 spent to hire a negotiator to bargain recently with the teachers’ association when Supt. Wolff could have handled the job, in the opinion of the speaker. On the driveway issue, Board Member Virginia Fox said she supported the paving project because she thought "most taxpayers would rather see the grounds kept up than the athletic program.” She said that potholes in the drive presented a daily hazard to busses and the holes had been repeatedly and un- successfully filled with gravel. Dormer responded on the bargaining question, ex­ plaining that the board had hired an outside negotiator because the teachers had retained a professional to represent the association. Dormer said a school ad­ ministrator involved in dayto-day operation of the school does not have time to become knowledgeable in negotiating. He said it also can create' bad feelings in future relations between the teachers and superin­ tendent. Wolff added that he and several board members did sit in on several of the recent bargaining sessions. In conclusion, one parent asked if money could be donated to the school to continue specific educational programs. Dormer said yes. An athletic boosters club was formed recently to raise funds to reinstate Maple Valley’s fall junior and senior high sports program this year. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, September 24, 1980 — Page 8 Valley girls split contest Sports Varsity held scoreless The Maple Valley varsity fensive drive by Pennfield, football team lost a tough the Lion defense played well, decision to Battle Creek led by Mark Siples’ 11 Pennfield last Friday by a tackles, Newman Maurer’s 10 tackles, Jeff Christensen’s 14-0 score.

Nashville maintained ball control during most of the game but was unable to score again until late in the fourth quarter when they recovered a Sunfield fumble on their own fifteen yard line. Due to a costly penalty, Nashville was forced to punt, but recovered the ball and seven plays later the score efcflrtjiil W**1 wWoliu ‘ Cross, Jeff Totten, Robert Millious, Eric Cornwell, Scott Reid, Ray Wolcott, George Steinbrecher, Paul Bahs, Matt Owen, Ricky Dean, Andy Finkler, Matt McClelland, Steve Smith and John Weber.

This years chairpersons, Ann Taylor and Jan Mittelstaedt, are looking forward to a large turnout of bikers and good community support backing the riders. In a Bike-A-Thon the bikers ask people in the community to sponsor them by pledging an amount of money for each mile the biker rides. For example, if a sponsor pledges 50 cents a mile and the biker rides 10 miles the sponsor would donate five dollars (tax deductible) to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. This years Bike-AThon has a three hour limit. Refreshments will be provided and some prizes will be awarded. The children who go to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital are afflicted with the most devastating kinds of childhood diseases: acute lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin’s disease and other forms of cancer, muscle disorders, sickle cell anemia and other maladies of childhood.

Main Vermontville 726-0514 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, September 24, 1980— Page 12 Harvesting a good time in Nashville Nashville’s Main Street came to life Friday af­ ternoon and despite sporadic Saturday morning showers, the village bustled with activity as the first Harvest Festival of the 1980's got under way. A 74-year-old Nashville tradition, the 2-day event is a community celebration of the harvest. Since 1977, the affair has been staged by the Riverside Recreational Development Corp., a group of local volunteers dedicated to building community recreational facilities along the banks of the Thornapple River, near Nashville’s business district. The site which the RRDC hopes to develop into a recreational park was the scene Saturday evening of a thrilling hot air balloon ascension which capped the day’s exciting events. A planned morning lift-off, scheduled as a demondemon­ stration, had to be cancelled due to inclement weather, but the evening launch took off just as the sun was sinking in the west. The rig was piloted by Karen Mills, wife of Doug Mills, president of Sky High Hot Air Balloons o of Caledonia. Accompanying Mrs. Mills were two lucky passengers — Darlene Hughes and George Frith, both local — who were selected for the honor by raffle drawing. Neither had ever been aloft in a balloon and both ap­ peared delighted at the opportunity. A slight delay occured at launch time when several names were drawn but the persons were not in the crowd of spectators on hand for the event. Finally, Frith’s name was drawn and he joined Ms. Hughes who had been chosen at an earlier drawing Wednesday. As a large body of envious onlookers watched, the two Nashville riders and Mrs. Mills boarded the wicker gondola and the rainbowhued balloon soared skyward. Preparation for the ascension had entertained the audience for about half an hour. The balloon drifted rapidly to the west, trailed by the rest of the Mills company in a radio-equipped van and an entourage of the curious. The balloon attained an altitude of 600 feet in its journey and landed on -the Wigglesworth farm, about a mile south of M-79 on Devine Road.

If you did not Horse-drawn entries added an old-fashioned flair to the parade. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, September 24, 1980 — Page 13 festivities officially got under way Friday evening when Linda Snyder, can­ didate of the Village Inn Cafe, was crowned as 1980 Harvest Queen. She was one of seven contestants for the honor. Winner of the penny­ vote race, which netted about $1,100 for the RRDC was kept a secret until midway through a Friday evening Gospel Sing staged on Maple Street. Emceed by Steven Reid of Hastings, the show featured local and area gospel singers. The queen con­ testants were called on stage by Reid. He announced the winner, and she was crowned by Alice Rhoades, 1979 Harvest Queen. 2nd and 3rd runners-up were Stephenie Currier and Ruby Ball, respectively. The Friday evening show was preceded by a sell-out turkey dinner at the local United Methodist Church. Long lines of hungry festival­ goers qued up for the delicious fare served at the church Community House. Friday afternoon and evening featured perfect festival weather, but Saturday opened with a drizzle. However, the rain did not deter 159 dedicated runners who entered the Third Annual 10,000-meter Harvest Run, which started at the high school at 8:30 a.m. There were 147 finishers of the 6.2-mile route through Nashville, north, and back to the school via Mason Road. Duane Spitz of Holt finished the course in 31:54 to take top honors. In so doing, he tied exactly his 1979 record here, though that earlier run followed a dif­ ferent course. Top female runner Saturday was Marianne Kubiak with a time of 46:04. The number “159” seemed to be magic Saturday. Not only did it represent the largest turnout yet for a Harvest Run, it also reflected the size of the hugest pumpkin ever en­ tered in the RRDC’s Harvest Festivals. The 159 lb. prize was grown by the John Symonds family of Nash­ ville. It won top honors at a harvest produce contest featuring entries in six categories. Statistics of the prize-winning pumpkin now will be inscribed on a special RRDC plaque that keeps a tally on yearly winners in that division. As the sky cleared Saturday, arts and crafts “bloomed” in Central Park. Some craftsmen set up in the St. Cyril Parish Hall. Flea market tables filled tents on the west side of Main Street. Sidewalk sales, concession stands, and a kiddie carnival added to the festival at­ mosphere. Exciting rides were provided by Arnold Amusements of Traverse City. At the Putnam library, a baked goods and used book sale was underway. School children’s harvest-theme posters decorated Main Street store windows. At noon Saturday, the Grand Parade stepped off at Putnam Park. Grand Marshal Gladys Richardson and her husband, Ralph, waved to the crowd from a lead convertible. Many colorful and lively entries thrilled the audience. A real crowd-pleaser were the Mini-T and Mini-500 autos entered by the Saladin Shriners of Battle Creek. Hungry spectators patronized the “ox” roast staged in Central Park by the Nashville Business Owners Association. Following the parade, local restaurants and visiting food stands also did a brjsk business. At 1 p.m. a mini­ tractor pull event drew a large crowd to witness the noisey competition on Maple Street. The Mighty-Mini Club of Olivet sponsored the contest. The rain dissipated in early afternoon, and the sun burst brightly through sporadic clouds just in time for Saturday’s talent show, staged on Maple Street at 4 p.m. Kenneth Meade, Sr., of Jackson acted as emcee, introducing 18 acts in four categories. The performance was well-attended and the outstanding talent of the various contestants made the final decision difficult for judges Peg Mater, Ardyce Robotham and Jerry Kent. About an hour before sunset, the immense hot air balloon rose over the village creating a scene reminiscent of early harvest celebrations. The 1980 festival was capped Saturday evening with an overflow crowd at the traditional Harvest Dance staged at the Nash­ ville Fire Station. Harvest produce in six categories and fresh and dried floral arrangements were displayed in a Main Street tent. Judging was early Saturday, and there.were many oohs and aahs over the immense pumpkins and colorful exhibits. Despite a drizzling rain early Saturday, 159 runners were at the starting line for Nashville's 1980 Harvest Run. The 10,000 meter (6.2 mile) route started and ended at Maple Valley High School. Trophies were awarded later in the high school cafeteria. In the photo ... Race co-chairman Tom Oleson (with bullhorn) shouts last minute instructions to the runners.

September 24, 1980 — Page 14 Millage continued from front also eliminated from the staff. A library aide was eliminated at the Jr.-Sr. High School, along with the reduction of two elementary aides. Plans have been eliminated to re-instate the position as administrative assistant. Elimination of the position of school nurse. Elimination of funds to purchase additional lots for future building trades houses. Reducation in capital outlay including audio visual equipment. Elimination of field trips including reduction in athletic trips. Elimination of the purchase of three new school busses which would actually be delivered in the summer of 1981. General reductions in the extra-curricular program included fifth-sixth grade basketball, seventh and eighth grade basketball, seventh and eighth grade wrestling, seventh and eighth grade track, ninth grade basketball, second assistant J.V. football coach, golf, tennis, cross-country, chess, department chair­ people, Jr-high cheerleading advisor, yearbook advisor, ninth grade advisors, junior and senior plays, reduction in extra pay for special reading teachers, and reduction in the summer vocational agriculture program. The yearbook is presently being handled on a volunteer basis. Ninth grade class advisors were reinstated in the master contract with teachers. The athletic boosters are attempting to raise funds to reinstate the sports which have been eliminated from the program. Therefore, at the present time golf, cross­ country, and seventh and eighth grade girls basketball teams are participating pending results of fund raising activities by the athletic boosters. Girls tennis is not being held considering that a coach was not available. With the approval of the millage the school district would attempt to reinstate as many programs as possible. Considering the uncertainity of state aid and the fact that approximately fifty eight percent of the dollars available come through state aid, it is difficult at this time to list what action will be taken. The funds availalbe at the local level continues to be one of the lowest in the State of Michigan. Outof the 529 K12 school districts, the Maple Valley School district was listed 521st. position out of 529 schoor districts ac­ cording to information supplied by the Michigan Department ofEducation for the 1978-79 school year. The same report showed that the cost per student at Maple Valley was in 489 place out of the 529 school districts. This cost is lower than any of the area school districts. Canvass cont. from front — of the MVAB is to reinstate the school’s athletic programs by various fundraisers, starting with the Wednesday evening can­ vass. Some forty collectors will be going door-to-door in Nashville, Vermontville, and all rural areas in the school district. As long as the present financial picture for the local school remains the same, Joostberns predicts the Athletic Boosters will be an ongoing effort “It looks like it’s going to be a continuing program,” he said. Goals will be set on a yearly basis. Harvest poster contest winners announced Kingergarten - 1st, Darcy Schantz. First Grade - 1st, Derek Morawski; 2nd, Mindy Reid ; 3rd, Niki Grinage.

Un-prize to “get your goat Was it a twist of fate, or justpoetic justice? Don’t ask Tom Frith of Nashville. He ended up with the goat, top prize in the unique Give-AGoat compaign staged by the Maple Valley Jaycees during Nashville’s recent Harvest Festival. Frith is a local Jaycee and was a driving force behind the money-making “goat scheme”. He never dreamed he would end up with the un­ prize, though he had been told, tickets had been pur­ chased in his honor. Here’s how the program worked: Jaycees sold chances (3 for $1) upon which the donor was to mark the name of his least favorite person, the one person he would most like to see own the smelly beast recently acquired by the Jaycees organization. It was a popular contest and though the final tally was not complete at press time, it appears the scheme was a real success at least monetarily. The Jaycees had promised to deliver the goat to the doorstep of the person whose name was selected in the drawing held during the 1980 Harvest Dance held at the local fire station Saturday Engagements - ACTION-ADS WANTED: Christian lady to babysit two pre-school children in Vermontville or Nashville.

Now, Frith plans to again promote the contest by of­ fering the goat and the scheme to, the recentlyformed Maple Valley Athletic Boosters. Frith hopes the MVAB will take over the money-making proposition. More tickets will be sold and added to the current kitty of names. Another winner will be selected during the up­ coming October 11th alumni football game at the Fuller Street field. Proceeds of the Jaycee’s “goat” efforts will aid community Little League sports. What the MVAB adds to the kitty of names will aid their effort to support sports programs at Maple Valley Schools. At least, Frith hopes all that will happen.

D The cattle market is carrying some pretty good signs for producers in the months ahead, and while there was a sag in prices for hogs, improved prospects are expected. Cattle The market firmed in early September following a generally weak tone in the last half of August. A fairly stable market is expected for the balance of the year. Some tapering in the marketings of steers and heifers from the third quarter level, is likely to be offset by a seasonal pickup in the marketings of cows. The prospects are that feeder steer prices will average around $80 per cwt for yearlings and $90 for calves. This would mean that breakeven prices in finished kl st to SN J 2Js,S vs * 5 *ts steers next year would be around $70 - $75 given the outlook for feed prices and other costs. Hogs Cash hog prices dropped sharply in late August and early September as marketings picked up. Future prices, however, rebounded sharply in the first week of September and April 1981 hogs again reached the $50 level. Traders are expecting the September Hogs and Pigs Report of the USDA to be constructive by showing even a sharper cut back in farrowings than indicated in the June report. Seasonal pressure will likely hold hog prices in the low $40s through mid-fall. Some recovery is then ex­ pected late in the year and into early 1981.

The method calls for canning at 15 lb. pressure using a conventional home canning pressure canner. Both fruits and vegetables can be processed by the 15 lb. method, as well as meats. The savings in time result from shorter processing times than those recom­ mended for water bath or 5 lb. or 10 lb. pressure, while the savings on money result from using your stove for a shorter period. And, in ad­ dition, the kitchen doesn’t get so hot and steamy. Comparisons are as follows for a quart of tomatoes: Water bath, raw pack - 45 minutes; water bath, hot pack - 25 minutes; 5 lb. pressure process, hot pack - 10 minutes; 15 lb. pressure process, hot pack 0 minutes. For directions for canning at 15 lb. pressure, call the Extension office, 543-2310. High fuel costs reduce farm income Due to sporadic showers, several arts and crafts displays were set up in St. Cyril's Parish Hall. Many of the artisians were busy at work while shoppers brow­ sed and bought. News deadline changed A new deadline is now in effect for submitting news copy to the Maple Valley News. The new time is 10 a.m. Monday. This change affects material to be picked-up at Johnny's Market in Vermontville, at the high school, and any other drop-off locations. What does a 1 cent rise in the cost of fuel mean to the U.S. agricultural industry? According to Cooperative Extension experts, each penny increase for fuel raises production costs by $60 million dollars $60 million that comes out of net farm income that adds nothing to productivity. Nationwide farm fuel costs are up nearly 20 cents since January, 1979. This indicates a potential billion dollar reduction in national farm income directly attributable to rising fuel costs.

October 1, 1980 Nashville's unique community center dedicated at Sunday ceremony Dedication services were held Sunday for Nashville’s new Community Center, a renovated 1891 municipal pump house. More than 50 persons were on hand for the ceremony and open house, which were the culmination of nearly a year’s effort to preserve an important part of Nashville history. The structural renovation of the old waterworks building situated at the edge of Putnam Park was started early last winter by the village Dept, of Public Works. This past summer, murals depicting Nashville’s early years had been added to the interior walls under the direction of local artists Dale Ann Morawski. She was aided in the Refreshments at Sunday's event included a cake depicting the historic Standpipe water tower in Nashville's Putnam Park. Village treasurer Lois Elliston baked the cake; and artist Dale Ann Morawski did the art work. Campers and hikers' plant over 100 maple trees in Nashville, Saturday by Susan Hinckley Martha and Virgil Pratt of Charlotte celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary Saturday in a most unusual way. They were among the approximately 30 members of the National Campers and Hikers Club who were in Nashville over the weekend to plant trees in a volunteer conservation project. The NCHC was responsible for a similar program here two years ago. In Saturday’s effort, four Michigan chapters of the organization set more than 100 trees in the village. The saplings, mostly maples, were provided by a local landowner and dug with the help of village equipment and the DPW crew. Village President Harold Christiansen, who for many years has carried on a 1-man tree-planting crusade, was on hand to help with Saturday’s project, also. Primarily, the planting by the NCHC was aimed at replacing ancient maples that have been lost along village streets. However, the group also set trees in in­ dividual lawns where homeowners wanting saplings had readied an appropriate-sized hole. In addition, the volunteers planted several trees at Sandyland Park where they were furnished with free camping accomodations for the weekend. Some arrived as early as Thursday; most stayed through Sunday in Members of the National Campers and Hikers Club were in Nashville Saturday to lend their assistance in the planting of more than 100 maple saplings. NCHC members will earn a special conservation patch from their club for their work here. In the photo, the Pratts, Virgil and Martha of Charlotte, were celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary Saturday as they eagerly pitched-in to help. campers and trailers stationed at the Sandyland campsite. A “soup pot” noon dinner there warmed hungry 'workers Saturday. That evening, the volun­ teers were treated to dinner out at the local restaurant of their choice, compliments of the Nashville Village Council. President Christiansen reminds property owners to keep the new saplings watered until they get a foothold. Hopefully the trees will survive for as many decades as Nashville’s ancient maples. And Martha and Virgil Pratt plan to return to Nash­ ville next year, on their 31st anniversary, to see how the project by two youths em­ ployed under the Youth Conservation Improvement Program of the Mid­ Michigan Employment and Training Consortium and was responsible for all the graphic art which decorates the interior of the structure. The youths also painted church pews formerly used in Nashville’s 1881 Methodist Church for seating in the center. The pews were donated by a local resident. “This building looks terrific,” said John Martinoff, executive director of the METC, addressing the Conf, page 1-1 — Maple Valley voters say “NO” again to school tax hike Maple Valley School District voters have again said no to a proposed threemill operational increase. An even 1,200 voters flocked to the polls Monday to defeat the proposal 830361. There were nine spoiled ballots. This is the second time in less than four months that the local voters have rejected the proposal. In a June 9 election, the same proposal was defeated 536­ 354. A citizens committee supporting the millage request led a successful petition drive to get the issue back on the ballot for the second vote at Mon- day’s special election. “We’ll have to go back and review what (money) we have to work with, said Siipt. Carroll Wolff, following Monday’s election. Nearly $327,000 was slashed from the 1980-81 school budget following the June defeat. The proposed three mill increase would have generated approximately $254,000. The last operational millage increase at Maple Valley was in 1974. The district currently operates on 22.3 mills of which 14 have been approved by voters and 8.3 allocated by the county. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Wednesday, October 1, 1980 — Page 2 Nashville News With the death of George B. Dean last Wednesday, Nashville lost one of her few remaining links with the past. At 96 years of age and with a keen memory of tales he heard as a child, George prided himself on being able to recall nearly 100 years of history. To the best of our knowledge, George was Nashville’s oldest native son still residing in the village. (Both Sylvester Van Horn and Mrs. Emily Hafner are older, but neither was born here.) George was bom and raised in Maple Grove Township, where as a child he attended McKelvey Country School. Later, he drove a horse and buggy into Nashville daily to attend high school, graduating with the Class of 1902. George furthered his education at University of Michigan and Tri-State College at Angola, Indiana. In 1909, he went West and found employment with Southern Pacific Railroad in the steam engineering department. Later, he worked as a dynamo tender for Southern California Edison Company. He was also involved with several government reclaimation projects before returning to Nashville in 1925 to help care for his aging If you did not receive our pick one up in the store. Nashville Hardware and Sporting Goods Inc. parents. Later, George secured a job as a standards engineer with the Pontiac Division of General Motors. Throughout his long life, George maintained an in­ terest in the world about him — particularly in the field of politics. He carried on a steady stream of correspondence with many individuals, a goodly number of them being elected officials. Always seeking to expand his horizons, George was a familiar site in the reference room at Putnam Public Library. He often walked downtown from his Reed Street home. George was one of the early advocates of establishing a local COA Site program which now offers daily noon meals and transportation for Nashville area senior citizens. Until the last few weeks when he had been confined at Barry County Medical Care. Facility, George had been a regular attendant at the COA Site. Recently failing rapidly in health, he was rushed to Pennock Hospital from BCMCF on Sunday and passed away Wednesday. George has no immediate family since he never married. He is survived by two nephews and one niece, and will be missed by a host of friends and neighbors. Another recent death that will be sad news to many local readers was that of Mrs. Mary Walton, who passed away Sept. 19 at a Kalamazoo nursing home where she had been a resident a short time. We understand that previously she had lived in a similar facility at Plainwell. Mrs. Walton was 96.

Ph. 726-0127, Vermontville, (tfn) �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, October 1. 1980 — Page 4 Temperance activities were strong in early local history Oldtimers have long concurred that early Nash­ ville was a town of busy sawmills and boisterous saloons. Main Street brawls were a common sight, especially on pay day. “The principal business of that period was very very wet, there being at least eight saloons,” wrote the lateEthel Parrish Stansell in a reminiscense published in the Nashville News in 1955. The author noted that there were at least three saloons still thriving when she was a small child. “These three were notorious,” added Mrs. Stansell, “and fond mamas, sending small daughters to the store, always sent them on their way with this ad­ monition: And remember, don’t go on THAT side of the street (where the saloons were located).” The writer recalled that the saloons were so blatantly notorious that the respec- table matrons of the com­ munity wrecked one establishment and kept the proprietor cowering in a locked room for days. Temperance efforts in the village may even predate the printed word here. The Nashville News was founded in October 1873, and early items indicate an active anti­ saloon movement close to that time. “A goodly number of men of the town met at the M. E, Church Tuesday night and organized a Gentlemen’s Temperance League, to aid the ladies in their attempt to drive the saloons from town,” advised the News in the first week of May 1874. “In the heat of the liquor discussion, the crying need for a new school seems to have been forgotten,” lamented Editor Orno Strong who pushed hard for better educational facilities, an organized fire department and other community im- provements for Nashville. A feisty 19-year-old of slight build (an early ac­ count indicates he stood 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighed 135 lbs.), Strong seemed also to advocate a pro-temperance stand in his writings. The young editor not only took Nashville to task for the evils of intemperance, he frequently aimed sharp jabs at neighboring towns. In March 1876, Strong labled it a “disgrace to the county” that Hastings, “a burg of 2,000 inhabitants, supports 14 saloons.” He wrote in June 1876 of journeying on Saturday to the county seat, where he counted more than 200 teams at noon time. “We noted a couple whiskey fights in progress on Jefferson Street,” added Strong. “This thoroughfare contains a score or more of drinking holes and averages a fight or two a day.” Strong also kept tabs on Vermontville, a dry town which came near to having its first beer saloon in early July 1876. However, a group of citizens got wind of the move to license such a place, secured 125 signatures on a petition objecting to the proposal, and presented their case to the village council. “It now appears Ver­ montville will try another century without a saloon,” quipped Strong. By June 1880, Strong was being sought as a speaker for Nashville’s Red Ribbon Reform Club. The editor gave a brief talk that month on the subject, “Sowing Wild Oats.” The local reform club had been organized more than three years earlier. “Prof. Dickey of Hastings will be here tonight with a couple of loads of reformed drunkards, to hold a grand The former Christian Church (now Trinity Gospel) on temperance meeting in the Washington St. at Queen became the scene of many opera house, advised the temperance meetings, starting in 1880.

WELFARE HIGH - Welfare caseloads for August con­ tinued to set new records: 233,700 ADC caseloads, 1'5.4 percent higher than August of 1979; 355,388 Food Starfip cases, 36.2 percent higher, and 91,750 General Assistance caseloads, 73.4 percent higher than last year. CARPET LOTTERY - Carpet removed from the House Chambers last year has been cut into pieces containing either a Michigan map or a coat of arms and will be sold through a public lottery to be held on November 20. Write to my Lansing office for details. BUDGET WORK - Work has continued on the final bills necessary to complete a state budget for the 1980-81 fiscal year which begins October 1. This has been a very difficult task this year due to sharply-reduced state revenues and increased costs for welfare and unemployment. Some major spending cuts have had to be made to keep the total budget balanced at $4.7 billion. UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS - Back in the House is HB 5606, which was radically changed in the Senate so that it would increase unemployment benefits an estimated $250 million but only make minimal changes in existing provisions which add to the cost of doing business in Michigan. The bill will either be amended in conference committee or vetoed by the Governor. COMMERCE CHOICES - The State Chamber of Com­ merce has gone on record as opposed to all three tax-change proposals on the November ballot: Proposals A, C and D. The Chamber contends that passage of any one of them could hurt Michigan’s ability to attract new business. DRUG PARAPHERNALIA - Now in the Senate is HB 5542, which would prohibit the sale, to anyone under 19, of smoking materials such as cigarettes and smoking paraphernalia such as “roach clips”, papers, and “bongs” (water pipes), all commonly used to smoke marijuana. FERRY TAIL - The C&O carferry service between Ludington and Milwaukee will end this week as the state’s $770,000 subsidy runs out. The State Transportation Com­ mission reluctantly decided to end the subsidy due to the continuing budget crisis.

Enthusiastic third, fourth, and fifth grade boys and their parents attended the registration program at 181 schools throughout the western Michigan Council’s 12 county service area to learn about the family benefits of the Cub Scout Program. Council “School Night” Chairman, Richard Bandy, Director of Grand Rapids Public Elementary Schools, stated the evening was successful, since the new boys increased Cub enrollment by 22 percent and that an unexpected 609 adults volunteered as Pack leaders and helpers. He also indicated that the “School Night” was held at 1887 schools throughout the state and that early results indicated that some 11,905 boys had joined Cub Scouts during the “School Night” meetings.

The valuation of the school district last. year was $40,946,831 with an operational millage levy of 22.1780 mills. The variance in amount of mills levied results from the differencem the rollback factor applied under the Headlee amend­ ment. Nashville’s municipal sewer users will note a big jump in their September service billing, to be mailed October 1. The $9.05 per month in­ crease represents the first step the village must take to pay its share of a $4.8 million sewer expansion program approved by voters last year. Village officials concede the increase will not be a popular move, since not a shovelful of earth has yet been turned on the project, but the village is obligated to start collecting additional funds to be able to meet payments on a local bond issue. The decision to enact the increase now was made by the village council last Teresa Jones decision is now in the hands of the federal Environmental Protection Agency. Bruce Kuffer, regional consultant with William & Works, engineers on the project, told Nashville, of­ ficials Thursday that the issue may be resolved within a few weeks and con­ struction might begin in November or December. Contractors who received the awards recently ex- tended their bids for 90 days, until Dec. 1. “The intentions of the regulations are good,” said Kuffer, “but it is sometimes difficult and time-consuming to get the MBE regulations administered properly.” Meanwhile, Nashville sewer users will begin paying the increased base rate, which represents the .minimum charge on the new system. On March 1, 1981, sewer users will start paying an increased commodity charge, reflecting the new sewer usage rate based on gallonage of water con­ sumption at each meter. That rate will be $1.66 per 1,000 gallons. Village officials have said the new system should be at a 10 percent completion stage when the commodity charge is added.

The State Department of Education . has notified school officials that the school district will not be receiving any funds through the state aid act to apply toward the payment of principal and interest which would lower the 1980 levy. The state aid act hasn’t been approved and any funds received would be used to reduce the district’s obligation in the 1981-82 school year. Last year the school district received $42,214 to apply toward payment of principal and interest on bond debt. The application was in the amount of $36,699 this year. The original bond issue- in 1963 was in the amount of $1,420,000, and the balance June 30, 1980 was $745,000. 726-0514 the Children’s Television Workshop, the film version of THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE is a release of Gospel Films, Inc. of Muskegon, Michigan. Written in 1950 by the famed English author, C. S. Lewis, it is the first of seven tales from “The Chronicles of Narnia”, a fantasy series which Lewis wrote to convey his delight in the joy and mystery of the human pilgrimage. The 4-part film is, first of all, an adventure that will keep the whole family en­ tranced while, at the same time, it also teaches viewers something about them­ selves. Set in the context of an imaginary world where issues of right and wrong, belief and disbelief, and life and death are brought visibly into focus, the two part series touches basic truths of Christianity thus making it an effective tool in understanding the Christian faith.

Answer; They are both tax shafts and tax increase proposals. They have other things in common and they are; A. ) The proposals are made and put together for the politicians, by the politicians. B. ) They both seek to destroy existing limiting constitutional provisions of the Headlee Amendment. C. ) They both seek to raise taxes on the already over­ taxed Michigan citizenry. D. ) Both proposals allow for further tax increases year after year without limitation. E. ) They both have used taxpayers resources such as legal assistance, studies, reports, pencils, paper, printing machines, public servants’ time, etc., all funded with taxpayer dollars to put forth their proposals. F. ) They do not have to abide by the Campaign Finance Act, only the tax­ payers must do that. They are able to hire people, rent equipment, produce propaganda material, etc., and not have to report anything under the Cam­ paign Finance Laws of our State. Mr. Webster Buell, Director Compliance and Rules Division of the Secretary of State, said, "... that neither the Act (Campaign Finance Act) nor the rules regulate the hiring or activity of governmental employees”.

Ifthe politicians do cut the above mentioned services, they, in turn, must be responsible for the chaos and trauma that will surely spread like wildfire across our state. There is an option, they could cut the patronage jobs, the many boards, commissions, agencies, personal staffs, staffs, and programs that that would streamline government; make it more efficient and more responsive to the needs of our citizens without reducing services. Obviously they will not cut these items because they use these same services and programs to get themselves re-elected year after year. They choose to intimidate, confuse, and disrupt our state services rather than live within their means just as we have been doing during these times of high unemployment, high in­ flation, and spiraling taxation. The unregulated, irresponsible hordes of elected politicians and bureaucrats seek to beat us into submission. They threaten and force us through the above mentioned blackmail to vote for their proposals while rejecting the Tisch tax-cut Proposal “D”.

Bill started his photography career at that young age while working for the Ionia County News Weekly. In 1960, he opened a part-time studio in his Ionia Home. And now he and his wife, Ione, own two studios, one in Portand which was established in 1967 and a new venture in Vermontville, located in their home at 250 S. Main St. Members of the Richards family are actively involved in the business. Ione, helps with the artwofk, restorations of old photos, and oil paintings in both the Portland and Vermontville locations. Son Mike, a June high school graduate, works in the office and darkroom.

He is married, has a son, and lives in Portland. Richards’ son Philip >is a communications cable splicer. When the Richards decided to open a second studio, Ione says, “we decided on a home studio in a small town outside Por­ tland’s circle of customers. Their home studio in Vermontville is located in a charming house that was built about 1905 by a Mr. Slout. It was the former home of the family of Slout Players. / “We do all types of por­ traits: family, senior, and individual; weddings, copy and restoration of old photos, passport and I.D. photos, framing, and matting.” Years of experience in the business / has given the Richards a repetroire of techniques. “When we started everything was oil paintings; natural color film was just coming out,” says Ione. “Then for awhile the oil painting just wasn’t done, but now there’s a demand for oil painting in the copy and restoration of old pictures. We still get a call now and then for an old painting of a present day portrait rather than the natural color!” Ione emphasizes that “all restoration of old photos is done by us. We do not send it out. The Richards have developed a mail order business in the photo restoration field eversince they began advertising three years ago in the in­ ternational Genealogy Helper publication.

This was followed by a picnic dinner. The evening service was held at the park at 5:00 followed by a picnic supper. Special music was fur­ nished by the “Monday Nite Special”. One of the highlights of the event was Mr. Bum the Clown, an entertainer from Allegan, who furnished his services to entertain the several hundred children in attendance at the picnic. Others featured at the picnic were Dixie Brand from Vermontville and Tim a Walker, summer missionary worker with Child Evangelism, who performed gospel magic. Afternoon activities in­ cluded a candy hunt, gun­ nysack races, horseshoe pitching, ball games, swimming, etc. lone Richards works on the restoration of old photos and does portrait oil painting at both locations. Son Mike helps in the Vermontville Studio and with packaging orders in Portland. the works to expand their Vermontville Studio. “Our hope for next year is to have an environmental studio off the back of the camera room in Vermontville,” says Ione. The environmental studio would have an enclosed or partially enclosed backyard patio and greenery for use year-round. Such a setting could be used for family, senior, and regular portraits for a unique quality.

When the Nashville Village Council let bids last month on a new 5-year refuse collection­ contract, specifications called for mandatory service for every home in the village. Now, local officials are having second thoughts. “We’re not sure it (mandatory pick up) is legal,” said trustee Ray Hinckley. “Battle Creek is being challenged in the courts on it.” The move toward man­ datory service was made in an attempt to stop what village officials claim is a widespread practice of “free-loading”, with two or more families leaving their refuse at one home and non­subscribing individuals setting garbage out for curbside pick up.

Corkwell, Clerk service (or an equivalent of 2, 4 or 6 bags, respectively). “Our main concern is that we wanted to make it more equitable,” said trustees Carl Tobias. “We wanted to get each (patron) to pay for what (refuse) he generates.” Nashville officials hope approximately 450 homes will subscribe to the service. (Commercial ventures and some large apartment units are not included in the present village contract, but are handled on separate contracts between property owners and refuse con­ tractors.) The present collection system has left the village with financial woes. Nashville currently ypy pays $18,900 , annually for the residential pick up service. But due to “free-loading” and the erratic p pattern of some subscribers, theevag suscrers, village collected only $18,423 iin garbage fees in the past fiscal year, leaving the operation with a deficit which had to be met out of general funds. The present contract is based on an estimated 480 homes and had that number actually subscribed to the service, more than enough revenue would have been generated to cover the $1,575 monthly payment to the contractor. Any excess in such revenues is earmarked to help maintain and operate the village-owned landfill, which Nashville residents who subscribe to garbage service may use free of charge. Bids on the new 5-year carrier-billed subscription contract will be opened at the council’s October 23rd meeting. In other business, the council heard a report from trustee Carl Tobias that “time is running out” for Nashville’s present landfill. The site on E. Casgrove Street is threatened with closure due to costly new state regulations that call for a hydrogeological survey and establishment of a groundwater monitoring system. Thursday, Village President Harold Christiansen appointed a committee headed by Tobias to meet again with Castleton and Maple Grove Township officials to make a final determination whether the townships will join Nashville in establishing a resource recovery and transfer, station on the present village landfill site. The two townships also face closure of their present landfill located west of Nashville. Enjoy the Extra’s from... Nancy’s • Ear Piercing • Eyebrow Waxing • Hair Styling and Perming TREAT YOUMELF..

A second youth worker, Dawn Brush, was not present for the occasion. Rev. Leonard Putnam, who gave the invocation for the service, led the audience in singing, "God Bless America.” Local Boy Scouts of Troop 177 and their leader participated in the service, raising the colors and Jeading the Pledge of Allegiance. Rev. Richard Wadsworth offered the closing benediction.

The first paragraph'in the Life In These United States feature on page 91 concerns Ezra E. Devereaux, a popular Nash­ ville school superintendent some 50 years ago. Although not mentioned by name, “Dev,” as he was fondly called by his admirers here, is the subject of a human interest piece submitted to Readers’ Digest by his daughter, Mrs. Virginia Wood of Lansing. It concerns a daily 20-mile pilgrimage that her 80-year-old father made by bus to be with his wife in a medical-care facility, and what occurred one day when the bus driver was unable to pick up his faithful passenger. Devereaux now lives in Lansing and was mentioned in this column 'earlier this year after the Lansing State Journal did a special piece on him, written by a reporter who met Dev at the bus stop. Since that first item ap­ peared in this column, Devereaux’s wife has passed away. But in the meantime, many of Dev’s former students had gotten in touch with him. One who wrote and received a warm letter in return was Wayne Fuller, a local native now of Toledo and a frequent contributor qf this column. Thanks to Mrs. Lynch for sharing her discovery of the Reader’s Digest item with us.

Wednesday, October 8, 1980—Page 4 , Memories off the pas By Susan Hinckley Win or lose, Nashville's Football team was the pride of the town“The high school athletic association has purchased a football and undoubtedly will have a team next year,” noted the Nashville News in early November 1899. Despite the optimistic forecast, it was some time before football really got a foothold in Nashville. The sport still was being treated quite informally six years later. “A football game played here Saturday between two picked-up teams from Nash­ ville and Hastings high schools resulted in a victory for Nashville, by a score of 5­ 0,” informed the News in early November 1905. The biggest event of the season in those days was the traditional Thanksgiving Day football game, but even the holiday matches often were set with little advance notice. In 1905, Nashville’s eleven squared off against Charlotte on local ground for the Thanksgiving contest. Over the next few years, Charlotte became a sort of special nemisis to the Nash­ ville boys on the football field. In late October 1906, the locals held Charlotte to a scoreless tie in a Friday afternoon home game. “Shorty Purchis was the sensation of Nashville’s team, making brilliant runs through the big rugged Charlotte line,” observed the News. A few weeks later, the two teams staged a repeat performance. “Nashville and Charlotte battled to another 0-0 tie in their football game, after halves of 20 and 15 minutes, respectively,” the News reported. Freeport was another favorite competitor that year. The Nashville team traveled by train or in their own autos to “away” games. Most play was staged in the afternoon following school, since there was no artificial lighting on the fields then. The old driving park north of Thornapple River, along what is now Kellogg Street, was the scene of some very early local football action. Later, the Riverside athletic field became the site of home games. The grounds were developed by the community on land west of Main Street, property donated for that purpose by the Charles Putnams. Bill Face, who played on Nashville’s 1913 team, remembers that football gear considered standard equipment today was almost non-existant then. “We had no helmets, no shoulder pads,” he reflects. “We just played football. Ifwe got hit, we got hurt.” The sport was sidelined temporarily during the World War I years, recalls Nelson Brumm, but was revived in 1922 when he was a junior. By then, playing conditions had improved somewhat but padding still was scant. For kidney protection, the boys used horse collar pads: Some made their own football shoes by nailing cleats on the soles. Uniforms were a hodge-podge affair of hand-me-downs. As a semblence of head gear, the players wore helmets that were merely felt-lined leather caps. “Throughout the summer, we let our hair grow long to serve as extra padding,” remembers Nelson. "Come basketball season, we cut it Enjoy the Extra’s / from... Nancy's • Ear Piercing • Eyebrow Waxing • Hair Styling and Perming TREAT YOURSELF.. Nancy’s BEAUTY SHOP 157 S. Main, Vermontville short.” Nelson was a member of the 1923 team when the News declared in late September that “Nash­ ville High opened what promises to be a great football season, by beating Lake Odessa 39-0.” The prediction proved to be true. Nashville lost only one game in 1923, to Por­ tland. At the end of the season, the team was feted at a banquet in the rooms of the Nashville Club in the Gribben Block. About 80 were present for the oc­ casion, including parents of the players. In 1927, the NHS squad made headlines by defeating Hastings, 14-6, in the season opener. “This is the first time Nashville has beaten the county seat team since 1916,” boasted the News. Greenfield made the first touchdown/ when he picked up a fumble and made a long run, and Nelson made the second one in a sweeping end run. Nelson drop-kicked both the extra points.” For the traditional Thanksgiving Day game in 1927, the high school squad was challenged by an alumni team. Admission of 25 cents was charged for the 10 a.m. game, with all proceeds dedicated to. Jack V. Downing, a former member of the high school squad who was hospitalized at Nor­ thville. “The high school-alumni all-star football game Thanksgiving Day was a thrill-packed affair that ended in a 6-6 tie,” declared the News. “The alumni, by virtue of their superior weight, made consistent line plunges for gains, while the high school team had to take to the air to score. Then the alumni discovered they, too, had a passing combination, Sprague to Bennett, which they proceeded to use to tie the count.” According to the News story, “oldtimers who saw action on the alumni team” included Don Sprague, John Johnson, Howard Caley, Jesse Guy, Bill Face, Shirley and Nelson Brumm, Dale De Vine, L. W. Face, Dr. O. O. Mater, R. H. Olin and A. L. Bennett. Officiating at the event were Robert Surine, E. L. Kane and Emory Morris. In 1988,' nineteen boys turned out for football, and by the first week in Sep­ tember six games had been scheduled, leaving four open ddtes to be filled by later arrangements. Nashville played Ltkeview High School from Battle Creek that year, defeating them 12­ 0. The first regular game of the season in that era usually was played the third or fourth week of September. There were only 14 can­ didates out for the team in 1929, and only three of them — Paul McDowell, Bryant Seventy years ago, Nashville's team of 1910 lined up for an October photo on the Riverside field. Coached by popular superintendent Charles Appelton (not shown) and captained by J. Robert Smith (with football) the squad lost only one game that season and formed the nucleus of a winning team the next year.

Uniforms and padding were scant: helmet, non-existant. By 1914, felt-lined leather caps served as protective head gear. Most of the players are unidentified, but Jack V. Downing is holding the football. Thirteen years later, a Thanksgiving Day alumni-higk school all-star game dedicated proceeds to Downing who was confined to a TB sanitarium.

Despite loss of their first game to Hastings, 34-0, Coach Koekhout was quite pleased with the boys’ performance, according to the News account, but was giving the team a “strenuous A very rare old photo of Nashville's 1906 football program of training” in team shows that the earliest squads may have been preparation for an upcoming more uniformly* clad than those a few years later. game with Charlotte.

The unused 85,000-gallon water tank was lowered with a dignity befitting its place in local history. Only a handful of spec­ tators were on hand for the landmark’s passing. “I wonder how they ever got it up there in the first place,” mused Clifford Brooks, an 86-year-old Nash­ ville native who was on hand for the occasion. Though scaling the tower perched high on a Putnam Park hill has been a popular pastime for many generations, Brooks said he had never climbed it. Leveling of the 86-foot structure was handled by Battle Creek Wrecking Company, one of four bid- ders for the job. The Nashville village council .awarded the $5,280 contract to that firm in September. “We’re taking it down in four approximately 20-foot sections,” explained Richard Hill, owner of Battle Creek Wrecking, at the site Thursday. He noted that each one of the 17-riveted segments of the tank weighed about 3,000 lbs. “With the catwalk at the top, that makes the total weight about 51,000 pounds,” he added. His company will haul away the debris as scrap metal. The top section, with its cupola vented roof, was the first to be lowered, after being cut free by a torch wielded by Hill, circling the structure in a swing seat. After the top section was set down just west of the Going, going, gone . . tower, employee Dave McCleery crawled into the seat to cut the second sec­ tion. The next brave soul to climb into the swing seat was employee Al Jones, who freed the third section. “We all take turns (at the top),” said Hill. Plans being made on the site Thursday are expected to result in the top section, with catwalk, being saved and replaced on the old foundation as a Standpipe monument. It would be re­ painted and designated with an appropriate historicaldata sign. “Many people who’ve never been to the top of the Standpipe would then have an opportunity tt> see it,” noted Hill. The monument section would measure about ten feet high, plus roof. In its very early days, the Standpipe had no roof. It was an open-topped container of Thornapple River water, pumped into the tower by steam pumps located in the nearby Waterworks Building. That first municipal water supply was for non­ consumptive purposes only. In the 1930’s, wells were driven south of the river and diesel pumps installed there to furnish the village with water “fit for drinking.” The Standpipe continued in use until it was replaced by a 400,000-gallon tower built along Casgrove Street during a 1975 municipal water system expansion program. Due to a deteriorating stone - and - concrete base, the empty Standpipe was considered a serious hazard by village officials who have wanted to have it razed for the past several years. Lack of funds had stalled the demolition until recently. The Standpipe was originally built to afford adequate fire protection for the village. That move was made after the downtown location of the early Jacob Lentz & Sons furniture factory was destroyed by fire in 1891. The Lentzes rebult the enterprise (later known at Lentz Table Co.) on Lentz Street on the condition that village fathers develop a municipal water supply for firefighting. Ovid Price, Nashville village employee, surveys the top piece of the standpipe after it wai lowered to the ground. This section of the landmark is to become the Standpipe tnonument. The second section of the standpipe tips on its side after being cut from its towering position over the vi e.

October 8, 1980 — Page 8 Sports Lions win 24-18 thriller The Maple Valley varsity football team won a 24-18 thrilling football game over Montabella last Friday. Just as the team ran off to a 24-0 lead and appeared to have the game completely in hand, Montabella came back with 18 points and a last minute drive to make the game close. Maple Valley drove the opening kickoff to the Montabella 5 yard line, where a field goal attempt on the 4th down ended with the Mustangs in control of the ball. Montabella then went on their own offensive drive which ran out of downs on the Maple Valley 20 yard line. The Lions then went 80 yards in 8 plays to score Tom Brooke raced the last 50 yards for the game’s first score. Following the kickoff, Montabella was forced to punt. The Lions poured in on the Montabella punter and Jeff Christensen blocked the kick. Tom Brooke picked up the loose ball and raced 40 yards for the Lions’ second touchdown. On Montabella’s next possession, the Lions forced a fumble and Jeff Christensen pounced on it at the 19 yard line. Two plays later, Tom Brooke raced 8 yards for his third touch­ down of the night. Maple Valley’s final touch­ down came after the Lions’ punt return team forced a bad punt, giving the ball to Maple Valley on the Montabella 40 yard line. The Lions scored in 9 plays with Ray Pufpaff scoring a 13 yard pass for what turned out to be the winning score. At this point, Montabella got into the act by scoring on a 40 yard pass play just before the half ended to make the score 24-6. The third quarter ended with neither team able to add to its total, but a pair of fourth quarter turnovers by the Lions set up two quick scores for Montabella to make the score 24-18. With three minutes left, Montabella got the ball and a final try to tie the score. Jeff Christensen came up with the big play by intercepting a Montabella pass near the Lion goal line with less than a minute left in the game to insure the Maple Valley victory. Tom Brooke led the Lion offense with 129 yards on 15 carries, followed by Mark Siple with 37 yards on 9 carries and Terry Pierce with 26 yards on 10 carries. Terry also caught four Valley J.V.'s take Montabella 24-12 The Maple Valley J.V.’s were very fortunate in the 24 to 12 win over Montabella. Maple Valley was unable to move the ball offensively the first half, but the defense scored two touchdowns. The first touchdown was scored on a 45 yard pass in­ terception by Dan Keech. The extra point was added on a pass from Randy Joostberns to Tony Dunkelburger making the score 8 to 0. On thejast play of the first half, Montabella attempted a fake field goal and the holder was tackled by several Maple Valley defenders. The ball went up in the air and Tony Reid returned a 50 yard fumble for a touchdown. The extra point was socred ^FRIDAY ONLY w REE VISIT to the...

First, our county Republicans were asked to give financial support in a phone drive this spring. This was supported by over 400 contributors. Funds were then given towards Barry County’s share of the State Republican Committee budget, which aids in campaigns and statistical work and helps organize the county and phone center workers. The fair required the help of over 100 people who gave at least four hours of time. Many contributed funds toward the two booths, which support our local advertising and headquarters. We gave workers and friends a fun nite with an old­ time dance (thanks to Red Raber & Bud Pierce) and BBQ (an all-day job for Dick Yarger and Norval Thaler). A phone survey is being conducted throughout the county, requiring the help of over 80 people to learn what support our candidates have, what questions the public has, who may need an ab­ sentee ballot and who may want information. Our party does not intend to confuse, belittle, or pressure any voter, only to be helpful. Many are helping and needed. If you want to help, please contact your county chairman (of the party of your choice). I am a strong believer in the two party system, while it is fine to “vote for the person” we get his party with him or her. I wish to thank all who have helped us throughout the year, without you there would be no “good America”. Sincerely, C.

The banquet is held to thank those persons who purchased animals at the 1980 livestock sale held during the fair, and all those who help the association at the fair and is throughout the year. Fivehundred 4-H members, families and supporters attended. The 4-H families bring potluck dishes, while a committee of 4-H clubs and individuals prepare beef, lamb, pork, baked potatoes, rolls and beverages. The 1980 Jr. Livestock Association officers conducted the evening’s program. Several special awards were presented by $; JJ| Sk. ERNEST NASH '*« the association. Warren Cook, recently retired County Cooperative Ex­ tension Service Director, received a plaque for his years of dedicated service to the Eaton County 4-H livestock members. Also honored with plaques to recognize their continuous and dedicated support of the 4-H livestock sale were Harry Stanton of Eaton Farm Bureau Co-op and Burt Post of Minor Walton Bean Company. The livestock members certainly hope all buyers know they are greatly appreciated for taking such an interest in the 4-H livestock program.

Spending authority has been delegated to the Management and Budget Director. WINTER SHUTOFFS - The Public Service Commission has approved rules providing that utility customers with low incomes or on government assistance will be protected from service shutoffs between December 1 and March 31, if a small amount is paid.

(Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley and Elaine Gilbert) What’s the next best thing to having your own chauf­ feur? Being served by Eaton County’s new bus system! For Vermontville area residents (and all residents of Eaton County), the new service means that tran­ sportation is just a phone call away. If you’ve wanted to own a car or a “second” car to go shopping or to the doctor’s office or to visit a frien­ d....your wish has been granted. If you’re dreading the icy roads that this winter undoubtably will bring, you don’t have to drive after all, just cal] for a bus. to residents’ homes for pick­ up and delivery. It’s also possible to take a bus to Lansing for medical purposes, says Guile. Hours of operation are 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday Cont. page 6 — The numbers to call are 371-3312 or (Lansing) 543­ 4087. Eatran Driver Betty Hooghouse demonstrates the vehicle's wheelchair lift for Mary Mykytuk and Bill Mason, village president. “We like to call it your second car,” says Steve Guile, director of Eaton County Transportation Authority. Guile said bus service to residents began September 29 with a fleet of eight small buses. The service is called “Eatran” and operates on a “demand response” basis. Here’s how the program works: Call either of the two numbers and make a reservation for a bus ride, 24 hours in advance of the time you wish to use the service. Tell the dispatcher where and when you want to be picked-up (anywhere in the county)and the destination, time and place for delivery home again. The service will go directly Vermontville Village President Bill Mason and resident Mary Mykytuk (right) get ready to board the new bus. Driver Betty Hooghouse of Charlotte (formerly of Nashville) gets ready to assist Mary. Mary Mykytuk of Vermontville says she is anxious to use the new bus service. Here, Mary has a chance to test the comfort of one of the new vehicles. Wolpe fields hardhitting questions from students at M.V. By Susan Hinckley If Third District Congressman Howard Wolpe learned one thing in his visit to Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School last Tuesday, it was that the students had done their homework. The Democratic in­ cumbent candidate fielded some hard-hitting questions from the youngsters during a forenoon appearance in the high school auditorium. The assembly was comprised mostly of juniors and seniors, but was also open to the public. After a few preliminary remarks in which he described his first term in Congress as an “extraordinary experience.” Wolpe opened the floor to questions. The exchange lasted more than an hour. The students' queries touched on areas in which they have a special interest — military registration, the drinking age, and legalization of marijuana — but they also sought Wolpe’s opinion on such far-reaching topics as the energy crisis; gun control; the Tisch tax­ cut proposal; the welfare system; unemployment; and the hostages in Iran. Emotional issues such as abortion, birth control and the Equal Rights Amend­ ment were also discussed. The youngsters applauded Wolpe’s statement that he favors lowering the present drinking age (in Michigan). Wolpe also seemed unruffled by a question from a young lady asking if girls under 18 should be able to receive birth control pills from a physician without parental consent. Wolpe agreed, tying his answer into an earlier response on abortion in which he favored improved birth control programs. “I personally do not like it (abortion),” said Wolpe, “but at the same time, it is a personal choice. The element of choice must be preserved.” Another young lady wondered if Wolpe thought women would be drafted in the near future. Wolpe an­ swered that he was opposed to peacetime draft for both men and women. On the Equal Rights Amendment, Wolpe noted that there is a lot of “misplaced fear” of the issue, spread by anti-ERA forces. “I think if you take a look at the language of the fcRA, you will find it is not as frightening as some people think." he added. Economic and energy issues drew a good deal of attention during the students’ quiz of the congressman. “The number one problem in the U.S. is our dependence upon petroleum,” declared Wolpe. “We’ve got to find alternative fuel.” He said that those who claim solar energy is only for the future are propagating a myth. “It simply is not true,” added Wolpe, noting that the technologies are here today. He cited instances of several new homes recently built in his district in which the owners«now are paying only $200 annual utility bills, due to proper house construction and use of solar energy. Wolpe also stressed that the Sunbelt states that have oil deposits are “becoming enormously rich at the ex­ pense of midwestern and northeastern states."

(Maple Volley Newsphoto by Susan Hinckley) �Nashville News Ten Nashville firemen recently completed training in extrication, earning certification from the State of Michigan. Practicing on five wrecked autos, they learned the art of safely freeing trapped occupants by proper removal of win­ dows, doors, fenders, etc. The class was taught by Mike Kelly and Bob Woodard of the Middleville Fire Dept. Five firefighters from the Woodland department also attended the classes held at the Nashville fire station. Earning certification in the local department were Doug Yarger, Larry Decker, Jerry Kent, Mike Appelman, Wes Erwin, Gale Wetzel, Earl Wilson, Pat Powers, Curt Scramlin and Eldon Day. Starting January 1, a new state regulation will require a fire truck to accompany each ambulance run to a traffic accident, a policy which has been in practice here for some time. Now, the local fire department hopes to acquire some special extrication equipment which could be used in freeing trapped occupants,as well as victims of farm machinery accidents. The Nashville Fire Department presently has only a power chisel for those circumstances. That piece of equipment was purchased earlier this year through a donation by Carl’s Market in Nashville. The Nashville Village Council has started a methodical review of all village ordinances, dating back to 1878, with an eye toward weeding out the outdated laws. Councilman John Hughes is leading the campaign by organizing the ordinances for an orderly consideration by the of­ ficials. Nashville’s very first ordinance, approved on June 12, 1878, forbids ball playing and snowballing on Main Street. Conviction called for the culprit to pay a fine of “not more than five dollars and costs of suit.” Failure to pay meant imprisonment in the village jail for “not more than ten days.” Don’t miss the free movies being shown- this week at Putnam Public Library by the local Friends of the Library. The films range from comedies for the kids to a full-length Alfred Hit­ chcock thriller for the grown-ups. Admission is free to the films, which are part of a series of October ac­ tivities by the FOL to celebrate National Library Month. Additional details on the movie schedule appear elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News. , Mrs. Phyllis Rizor of Nashville was the first to call last week in answer to our plea for information about an old photo of the “Em Wilkinson house”. The picture, so-labeled, was donated to Putnam Public Library recently by Dorothy Brown Yarger of Hastings, but she did not know the location of the home. Mrs. Rizor informed us that Mrs. Wilkinson was her aunt, a sister to Phyllis’ father, the late Coy Brumm. However, the Wilkinson residence that she recalls is on the nor­ theast corner of the Washington and Cleveland streets intersection and is obviously not the house in the photo. The picture shows what appears to be a twostory upright with a onestory wing attached. A veranda fronts the wing and a small side porch can be seen at the rear. The lawn is raised in a slight terrace from street level. There is an unusually-shaped decorative stone in the front yard and a 3-cannonball monument near the side porch. The house is at an intersection, but face-on there is a sidewalk along the front and at the right, which rules out the location Mrs. Rizor remembers. Letters that appear to read “MINE..” are visible on a street sign at the corner. With those clues in hand, can anyone now solve the puzzle? The picture will be placed in the Michigan and Local History Room at the library, and we had hoped to include the For all your Insurance Needs See the...

He arrived at Pennock Hospital, weighing 7 lbs., 8 ozs. and has been named Caleb Joshua. The young lad has been welcomed home by a sister, 5-year-old Rachael, and a brother, Carl, 4. Mrs. Ruth Brown of rural Nashville was in Morton, Illinois, over last weekend to attend a bridal shower honoring her daughter, Pat, who will wed Larry Orr, October 18, at Pontiac, Ill. Mrs. Brown made the trip by Amtrack from Battle Creek and during a lay-over in Chicago visited Sears Tower. At Morton, she was able to tour the laboratory where Pat works as a forensic scientist for the State of Illinois. She is a former local resident, 1974 MVHS grad, and a 1978 graduate of MSU. The shower was hosted by Mrs. Marian Heuback, a friend and co-worker of Pat’s at the lab. The Nashville Police Dept, handled 55 complaints in September, according to a report given to the Nashville Village Council last Thur­ sday by Sgt. Eugene Koetje, acting chief. Among those complaints were 7 larcenies; 1 illegal entry; 2 suspicious person-prowlers; 7 malicious destructions of property;. 1 arrest for resisting and obstructing a police officer; and 2 bad checks. The Nashville police made seven arrests in Sept., issued nine moving violation citations and wrote seven parking tickets. They suspended the driving privileges of one school student. In addition, the local officers assisted the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, on two complaints during the month. The Nashville police cruiser logged 2,099 miles in September, using 204 gallons of gasoline.! A letter received last week from Mrs.. Russell D. Smith of Vermontville offered some interesting in-­ in formation while linking, quite by chance, two recent Memories accounts. Mrs. Smith wrote that the picture of the 1912 Harvest Festival float carrying children dressed in white caps was the Loyal Temperance Legion of Nashville. “The LTL is for children 6-12 years of age, a’nd is a branch of the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union,” she continued. “Mrs. Ben (Libbie) Reynolds, holding the reins, was their leader.” Coincidentally, a story on • the local temperance movement, including for­ mation of the Nashville Chapter of the WCTU, was the subject of a Memories story published the week after the Harvest Festival float picture appeared. Mrs. Smith also noted that she had the same picture, given to her a few months ago by Letha Snore Bushnell of Lansing. “Letha is one of the children on the float,” wrote Mrs. Smith, “and Mrs. Reynolds is her grand­ mother.” Both Mrs. Smith and her friend, Mrs. Bushnell, are , current members of the WCTU. The Sherwood Singers of Grand Rapids will be at the Nashville Baptist Church on By Susan Hinckley Sunday, October 26, to present a ministry in music at the 11 a.m. service. Remember the Shop & Snack Night set for Friday, October 24, at the Peace United Methodist Church. For two hours, starting at 5:30 p.m., homemade soup, salads, sandwiches, desserts and beverages will be sold (all individually priced). Also offered for sale will be a variety of handcrafted bazaar items, baked goods and garden produce. The church is located four miles west of Nashville on M-79 at the intersection of Barryville Road. Those favorite oldfashioned hymns will be featured in the “Great Day of Singing” at the Nashville United Methodist Church, October 19. The Sunday morning service will be almost entirely devoted to singing by the congregation, with emphasis on traditional hymns and gospel music. An early Sunday morning fire, October 5, gutted the Betty Hartwell residence on Phillips Street. No one was at home at the time of the fire, which was brought under control by the Nashville Fire Department. Cause of the blaze is thought to be related to a furnace stack on the first floor level. Lion’s District Governor Bob Scott of Muskegon will be addressing the Nashville Lions Club when they meet for a 7 p.m. dinner Monday, October 20, at the Nashville United Methodist Church Community House. Forrest (“Tink”) Babcock, Jr., a former local resident now of Lansing, and his wife, Carolyn, and two children were recent visitors at Putnam Public Library and were given a guided tour of the recently-completed second floor by Librarian La Duska Sheldon, who enjoyed chatting with them. Mr. and Mrs. Babcock were accompanied by her sister, Miss Mary Koeppe, also of Lansing. She and Carolyn are former local residents, daughters of the family that once owned the old Gamble store here. Mrs. Betty Pierce of Nash­ ville was named top weekly weight loss winner when God’s No-Munch Bunch met Monday for their weigh-in at the Nashville Baptist Church. She had lost four and three-quarter pounds in one week to earn the title. Recent weekend guests of Mrs. Bertha Becker of Nashville were her granddaughter, Mrs. Brenda Starkweather of Lansing and three children, Theresa, Robin and Larry. Mrs. Naomi Watson and Mrs. Martha Lee, both of Nashville, drove to New York state last week to visit Mrs. Watson’s daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Bob live Wilson, who at Canadaigua. Several senior citizens from the Nashville Nutrition Site enjoyed a color tour last Tuesday. They were part off a group of about 75 senior citizens from the Nashville, Hastings and Woodland sites who filled two tour buses for the trip to Grand Rapids and back. Country roads were taken ohthetrip north, to get the full benefit of the autumn scenery. At Grand Rapids, the group spent about two hours at a shopping mall to allow the travelers to browse, buy and dine. Mrs. Marcella Stewart of rural Nashville is confined to Hayes - Green - Beach Hospital in Charlotte, suf­ fering with pnuemonia. She was receiving oxygen, at the time of this report, and expected to be hospitalized for some time. Mrs. Stewart had recently returned home after a month-long visit to Vermont, where she called on relatives. She had been home about a week when she was taken ill and admitted to the hospital. Please remember to cheer her with a card, letter or call. Don Pennock of Decatur, Indiana, and his son, Scott, of Butler, Indiana, were recent weekend callers on Don’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Pennock of rural Nash­ ville.

The postcards, by the way, came from Joanne Deters of Monrovia, California, who wrote that she had acquired them from Vera Ingerson, a former Presbyterian missionary now living in a retirement home at Durate, Calif. What connection Vera may have had with Nashville is unclear from the letter, but perhaps our readers will know and advise Us. Joanne indicated in the letter that she is a school librarian. She requested that the cards be placed with our local historical society, if one existed.

Also believed to be in the photo are Mr. and Mrs. John Mater and son Elmer, then about 14. In addition, the Mater’s older son, also named John, may be in the picture with his wife Sarah and young son William. (The younger John Maters later had two more sons: Clarence and Orville, a longtime local veterinarian.) The teacher at Hosmer in 1887 was Mabie McMore, believes Mrs. Allen. Ethel’s personal memories of the school date back more than three-quarters of a century, but the 1887 data is based on recollections passed down to Mrs. Allen by other mem­ bers of her family. She started school at Hosmer in 1904 and con­ tinued attending there until 1911 when her family moved closer to Nashville, into the Union school district. As children, Ethel and her brother William, who was 14 months older than she. is present in the photo along with his wife and children. His granddaughter, Edith Miller Allen, who loaned the picture, can name others in attendance. The school still stands, its appearance somewhat altered by the later addition of a belfry. walked a mile and a half daily to reach the Hosmer school from the East State Road farm of Bert Smith, where the John Miller family resided. That made a 3-mile roundtrip for the youngsters. “We never thought anything about it,” says Mrs. Allen. “In fact, after we moved we had an even longer walk to the Nashville school.” When William Miller was a little older, he had a sort of custodial job at the school. He would go there at 7 a.m. each morning to start a tire in the round oak stove which heated the structure. “He would have the place warn! for the teacher and students when they arrived,” remembers Mrs. Allen. “Bill also had the job of carrying a pail of drinking water for the school from a windmill across the road.” There was no well or pump at the Hosmer school in Mrs. Allen’s days there. “The first bell rang at 8:30,” she recalls. “It was only a hand bell.” The school never had a traditional as belfrey bell, she remembers. Mrs. Allen reflects about her first year at school. She and William entered chart class together at Hosmer. “In place of kindergarten, they had what'was called chart class,” she explains. “After you were in that class for a school year, you went on to the first grade.” Chart class consisted of beginners sitting up front near the teacher, learning simple reading skills and doing alphabet exercises from a large chart. “My father taught us our ABC’s at home, so chart class was easy for us,” comments Mrs. Allen. Her first teacher at Hosmer was Miss Lynde Downing, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Manley Downing of Nashville and grand­ daughter of well-known local businessman Theodore Downing. Later teachers at Hosmer school, Mrs. Allen recalls, boarded with Mrs. Horatio Hosmer (the former Elinore Wilknson, a student in the 1887 photo). She lived in what is_ presently known as the Orville Mater place, located just south of the school across the State Road in­ tersection. Among other Hosmer schoolteachers whom Mrs. Allen remembers are a Miss Hughes of Prairieville; Ruth Bachelor, daughter of the Clarence Bachelors who lived on East State Road; and Agnes Cole, daughter of the Elmer Coles, whose home was north of the Hosmer school along what is now M-66. “And I don’t want to forget my teacher Miss Elsie Rickies,” adds Mrs. Allen. “She was about 18 years old at the time, only about ten years older than I.” Miss Rickies is now Mrs. Ernest-Offley and still living at Vermontville, notes Mrs. Allen.

The show started in Detroit at the stock yards and in later years was moved to the Michigan State Fairgrounds. Since 1974, the show has been held in Howell. The changes in type of marketing has forced the changes to be made. The livestock show event is considered the year’s World Series climax event for the organization.

BEAVER SEASON - Begins November 15 in the U.P. and December 6 in the Lower Peninsula, running through March-April. Last year’s beaver-otter harvest matched the record count of 27,950 taken in the 1972-73 season. A mild winter helps. LICENSE LOBBY - The Michigan Health Occupations Council has told the Legislature that there is no need for the state to regulate myofuntional therapists or audiologists and speech .and language pathologists, who are seeking licen­ sure rules. SCHOOL LOAN - The state has borrowed $100 million in short-term notes from Michigan banks in order to meet the school-aid payments which are due to be paid to local districts next week. Borrowing has been somewhat com­ plicated by the present lack of a full-year budget, which has caused several investment houses to lower their ratings on Michigan bonds. JOB PROGRAM - Governor Milliken has proposed a firstever state employment plan, placing job creation in the main areas of state-government responsibility along with education, welfare, law enforcement and recreation. The Governor spells out 14 proposals for the legislature, in­ cluding policy changes and creating various development authorities; his office would work on administrative details such as simplifying the application process for doing business here. At the heart of it all would have to be balanced reform of the workers compensation system. BUDGET ORDER - Acting with the authority delegated to them by the legislature, the Governor and the Management & Budget Director have made additional cuts from spending for higher education, mental health and welfare, bringing total cuts from the present budget to $770 million. WATER RULES - The Joint Legislative Committee and the Water Resources Commission have approved Michigan’s first set ofuniform rules to protect ground water quality. They prohibit any discharge that may cause degradation to quality in underground water-bearing earth. HANDICAPPER PROGRESS - The Civil Service Com­ mission reports that many more handicapped people are now working for the state than ever before. This results from testing policy changes, installation of equipment for the deaf, and conversion of office buildings to be barrierfree. SLUDGE DISPOSAL - The DNR has accepted recom­ mendations to make sludge disposal easier and cheaper for local communities under Michigan’s Hazardous Waste Management Act, including de-regulation of landfill sludge and improved discharge control in local sewage systems. fl*j * fl* fl e A* Country Corners Main Store, M-66 and State Rd. contest will held, and will be A delegation from Ver­ open to all youth.

Vermontville Village President Bill Mason is enthused .about the new bus service. “I think it’s great. I think people are really going to enjoy using it. I’m all for it, especially if it helps senior citizens,” Mason said. “It will give some people a chance to get out of the house who couldn’t before. It’s going to be handy for senior citizens. Mary Mykytuk is just one of tfie town’s senior citizens who is grateful for the new bus service. “I’m legally blind so I don’t drive,” said Mary. “I have to see a doctor in Lansing, so the bus service sounds very gbod to me. “I’m anxious to use it,” she said. Mary attended the recent Vermontville Village Council a meeting to hear representative from Eatran explain the details of the service. In neighboring Barry County, plans are in the works for a similar transportation service for residents there. Citizens of the Nashville area would be served by that program. Sam Marfia, Barry’s transportation coordinator, said no date has been set for the start of countywide bus service there. “At this point, we really don’t know (when the service will become a reality). We are hoping that it will be no later than this summer.” Barry County is currently in the “study phase” for a bus service' program. Funded by a state grant, the purpose of the study is to develop a concept for a coordinated — consolidated public transportation system. A Local Transportation Coordinating Council has been appointed by county commissioners to help identify and define local transportation problems; areas were effeiciency and Goulash, Green Beans, Pears, Peanut Butter, Sandwich, Milk.

DELIVERING-PLANNING ESTIMATING - SAVING �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, October 15, 1980 — Page 7 KBE hopes to build new track connecting Vermontville and Charlotte An 11 mile stretch of railroad bed between Ver­ montville and Charlotte may have tracks on it in the near future, if the Kent, Barry, Eaton Connecting Railroad (KBE) gets their wish. With that track and the economic opportunities it offers, the KBE foresees a chance of offering commuterpassenger service from Hastings to Grand Rapids on part of the already existing line. The KBE, a minority owned railroad, is currently preparing a feasibility report based on the plan to add the new stretch to the already existing line from Grand Rapids to Vermontville. Richard Shaw, chief ac­ countant for KBE, said the 11 mile stretch would offer: —savings to businesses that use the Con-rail system of track; ' —savings to businesses that because of the new line, would start using railroad in place of other forms of transportation; —a way for the KBE to get off government subsidy and become an economically viable corporation; —a commuter service from Hastings to Grand Rapids once a level of economic viability is reached. The feasibility report must be approved by state and federal committees who control the purse strings for transportation. The Michigan Highway and Transportation Com­ mission has earmarked 4 million dollars for minority KJ* c*. mu TOW Mb Ml ffii ■a? ®y ■n 'i kip i ut .id ■ F*® isH! a IV tM mra Mt Diane Huffman graduates from Washington State Mr. and Mrs. Ezra Huff­ man of Kinsel Highway, Vermontville are pleased to announce that their daughter, Diane Huffman has completed the bachelor of arts degree program in fine arts at Washington State University in Pullman, Washington. Diane is a 1975 graduate of Maple Valley High/ School. Shaw says it offers Savings to businesses that use the Con-rail system because it is a more direct route to Grand Rapids and it connects with the main Grand Trunk tine in Charlotte. “Instead of having to use lines that run through- the larger cities, this line cuts right to Grand Rapids, saves time and we hope to offer lower rates,” he said. Shaw says the line will offer savings to businesses that change over from other forrps of transportation, because the line will become a bridge carrier as opposed to a short line carrier, and that because of the line, the whole area will become more desireable for in­ dustrial development. “By being a bridge carrier we can compete with the trucking industry and we hope to gain some customers that way,” Shaw said. “With the area becoming more desireable for development, more businesses will come in, giving the businesses here already more customers, and hopefully us as well.” Shaw said the key behind everything is the KBE becoming economically viable. “Our goal is to get off government subsidy and become a viable corporation, owned transportation companies. Shaw says that is one of several funds they are looking at. “There are several funds both state and federal that are designed to assist railway corporations,” Shaw said. “We hope to get what we need by applying' to several of them.” Shaw said the projected cost of laying the track is in the neighborhood of 3 million dollars. “Three million is a rough estimate, we have to figure our projected business with the new line; it is all part of the feasibility study we are in the process of preparing,” Shaw said. Richard Green fete October birthdays Richard and Ferne Green hosted a dinner at the Nash­ ville Community House on the afternoon of October 5th to honor October family birthdays. Nineteen family members and three guests were present. Attending were Richard Lee and Judith Green and five children of Kalamazoo; Sidney and Agnes Green and three children; granddaughters Gale, Gwen and Geili Green, Feme’s brother Lewis Schulze, all of Nashville, and sister Frieda Trim of Hastings. Guests were Agnes Green’s sisters Marilyn Thelen of Holt and Sharon Smith of Lansing, and Gwen’s friend Dan Wolfe of Nashville. Birthdays recognized were those of Sidney Green on October 1; Judith Green, October 2; Baby Maria Green’s 1st birthday on October 4; Frieda Trim, October 5; twins, David and Daniel,, Green, October 18; Feme Green, October 19; and Gwen’s friend, Dan Wolfe, October 8. it will save the people of the state tax money and we can offer services to save them money,” he said. The KBE, which opened their doors on July 15, 1979, was subsidized $700,000 for their first year. They showed a loss for the first year, but surpassed their projected goal of 330 carloads, by hauling 417. The projected goal for this year, without the new stretch, is 593 carloads. “Without the new stretch we would need to be sub­ sidized again at the tune of $700,000,” Shaw said. “With it, we are not sure of the amount of business we would attract, but we feel it would be substantial enough to put us on the way to reaching viability.” The railroad bed that the new line would be constructed upon was once part of what is now the KBE line. The track that is now the KBE stretch was built in 1870 by the Grand River Valley Railroad. The Michigan Central Railroad leased the line later in that same year. In 1959 passenger service was discontinued on the line. The owner of the line before KBE. was Con-rail and they took over from New York Penn Central in 1970. If the new line is added to the existing line, it will be a 54 mile stretch running through 8 different stations. From Grand Rapids the line will pass through stations at Dutton, Caledonia, Mid­ dleville, Hastings, Nashville, Vermontville, Chester, and Charlotte. At finally Charlotte it will hook up with the main Grand Trunk line that connects with several cities like Battle Creek, Detroit, Lansing, Kalamazoo, and Chicago. This is where the existing KBE line ends in Vermontville. The brush that has infiltrated the track bed may get removed if the KBE gets their wish. The existing line is 43 miles long from Vermontville to Grand Rapids. The new stretch would make the line 54 miles in length and go on to Charlotte. . (Remihder photo) Come in and meet...

Quizzed on the Tisch tax­ cut proposal facing Michigan voters in November Wolpe said that while he un­ derstands the taxpayer frustration which motivated the proposal, its passage could be very destructive to the state. He called the measure “too fqr-r eaching and counter-productive.” Wolpe added, however, that “property tax is probably the most unfair tax we have.” When asked by a young man how he liked being labeled a “free-spending liberal” just because he is a Democrat, Wolpe responded with a laugh and commented that it is the kind of stereotype that gets built into the political system. “Nothing could be further from the truth,” said Wolpe, of the label. He noted that lumping Democrats together like that would be com­ parable to claiming that all Republicans were involved in Watergate. The session at Maple Valley School ended with the students quizzing Wolpe about his goals if re-elected; his opponent’s campaign; and the congressman’s qualifications for office.

Game time is 5:30. Negotiations underway for area transfer recycling center by Susan Hinckley Negotiations are underway to* convert Nashville’s present sanitary landfill site into a transfer and recycling center, ruled by a joint authority of officials from the village and the townships of Castleton and Maple Grove. Thursday the Nashville council empowered trustees John Hughes and Carl Tobias to act on the village’s behalf in the negotiations. It is expected the 7-acre landfill site on East Casgrove Street will be leased for a token fee to the newlj^formed authority. The site is now solely owned and operated by the village. Nashville faces closure of the present landfill due to costly new state regulations which would require the village to perform a com­ plete hydrogeological survey and establish a groundwater monitoring system at the site. The two townships now share a landfill on Morgan Road west of Nashville and are faced with the same problem. The joint effort to create the new facility on the Nash­ ville site was first proposed last June by Sylvia Dulaney, Barry County Grants Coordinator, who told the council that it would be more economical in the long run, both for the municipalities and the citizens who use the landfills. At that time, Dulaney suggested a portion of a $405,000 Housing and Urban Development Community Block Grant recently ap­ proved for the greater Nash­ ville area might help pay for the proposed landfill con­ version. Specifically, she spoke of an approximate $6,700 which previously had been allocated for a bike path to Carl’s Market in Nashville. However, various factors have indefinitely postponed that project. Cost estimates are being OCTOBER ® SPECIAL Membership in The Maple Valley Jaycee’s Prospective members are encouraged to attend Sunday, Oct. 19... 4:00 p.m. at the NASHVILLE VFW — SOCIAL HOUR 3:30 — secured now for conversion of the landfill site into a transfer and recycling station. That project is ex ex-­ pected to include a concrete ramp and pad to hold a 42yard dumpster box, a 26’ by 32’ metal building to house materials collected for recycling, and chain link fencing of the site. A new .drive through the site may also be needed. Nashville officials said Thursday that the new operation probably would use only the front third of the site. The village hopes to retain use of the back portion of the property for dumping of leaves, brush and tree debris by the local Dept, of Public Works. A Monday meeting between village and township representatives will be the next step in formulation of an authority to control the proposed facility. It is ex­ pected that the six men currently serving on that committee will become the members of the authority. In addition to Hughes and Tobias, they are, from Castleton ’Township, Supervisor Justin Cooley and Trustee Nelson Rasey, and from Maple Grove Town­ ship, Supervisor Ted Me Kelvey and Trustee Duane Hamilton. In other action Thursday, the council: — Heard a review by Mary Hecker, representing the Hecker Agency, of the village’s multi-peril and workmen’s compensation insurance policies and ap­ proved renewal of both at a combined total annual premium of $15,046.

Main St., Vermontville - Ph. 726-0569 Cut fuelwood and improve your wood lot — By Allen Krizek, County Ext. Director As home heating costs rise, many woodland owners are turning to wood as a low cost energy alternative, according to Allen Krizek, County Extension Director. Thisrenewed use of wood for fuel is an excellent op­ portunity to remove un­ desirable trees — crooked, decayed, or otherwise low quality — and give the more desirable, straight, healthy crop trees room to grow into quality sawlogs and veneer. Trees, like farm and garden crops, need room to grow at their maximum rate. When they are close together, trees will compete for water, sunlight, and nutrients, and grow more slowly. An acre of woodland can grow only a certain maximum cubic foot volume per year. As a woodland is thinned, this growth shifts to the remaining trees. The continuous removal of poorformed and low value trees will allow the well-formed, high quality trees to grow more rapidly in diameter throughout their lives. For many woodland owners, cleaning up dead wood is an obvious source of fuelwood, but look closely before cutting. Standing large, dead trees provide necessary homes for cavity nesting birds and wildlife. One to three of these wildlife “homes” per acre should be left in the woods, although most dead, broken, or blown down trees can also be utilized. > Energy efficient homes tour planned By Allen Krizek, County Ext. Director The Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service is sponsoring a tour of energy efficient homes on Sunday, October 19, from 1 to 5 p.m. The educational tour is designed to acquaint in­ terested persons with energy conservation technology that is available today. The tour is free of charge and is strictly educational. The homes that will be visited are located in the Eaton Raprds, Charlotte and Potterville areas. The Mr. arid Mrs. Steve Tilmann home, located in Charlotte, will be one of the homes featured in the tour. The Tilmann home illustrates how home owners can significantly lower heating (by about 40 per­ cent) with a solar greenhouse constructed from locally available materials. In addition to construction and operation of the solar greenhouse, the solar tax incentive plans available from the state and federal governments will be discussed. The Tilmann’s solar greenhouse is the first federally approved solar greenhouse in the state. The Mr. and Mrs. David Livingston home, located south of Eaton Rapids, will be another of the homes featured in the tour. The newly constriTcted Livingston home, referred to as a double shell home or a home within a home, has double walls and ceilings to reduce energy consumption. Additionally, a solar greenhouse with an active concrete heat storage system is utilized to heat the home. Many other energy efficient construction techniques used in the house will be discussed. Other homes that will be visited during the tour, in­ clude a new house with a gas woodburning furnace; and a home that uses wind power for generating electricity arid a solar water heater. Interested persons are asked to meet atl p.m. at the Felpausch Food Center parking lot located on M-50 south of Eaton Rapids for registration and tour in­ structions. Car pools are strongly encouraged. The Family Body Shop NORM or BONNIE FREELAN (25 years experience) ★ FREE ESTIMATES ★ R 2, Carlisle - Nashville, Ml.

When thinning a woodlot, remove those trees which have little or no potential to become 16 foot sawlogs at some time in the future. Crooked, partly rotted, or badly damaged trees make good choices for home fuelwood, also forked trees or those sprouted from old stumps. Clumps with many stems should beeliminated. Basswood can be thinned to the best two or three stems. Valuable trees should be preserved for future log production. In southern Michigan, sugar maple, northern red oak, white oak, black walnut, basswood, white ash, black cherry, tulip poplar, and white pine are favored species. When other species such as beech, hickory, popple, or pin oak are crowding these valuable trees, they should be removed. Some trees are valuable for specific uses and should remain in the woodland for. this reason. For example, black locust makes excellent fence posts. Your forester can assist you with identifying the valuable trees for your locality and use. • RESIDENTIAL REPAIR 1 INSTALLATION • REMODELING NEW CONSTRUCTION SEWER AND DRAIN WORK Call...CARL BUSHRE — LICENSED MASTER PLUMBER — 517-726-0036 Community Events . .

Vermontville 5-6th win only one �The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Wednesday. October 15, 1980— Page 15 Valley girls pushed their season record to 7-2 last week with two league wins. The Lions polished off Central Montcalm 55-42 on Tuesday and Portland 61-34 on Thursday. At Central Valley jumped off to a lead in the first quarter on a Melanie Rogers pass to Diane Cook but Central caught up to tie 8-8 by the end of the quarter. MV ran into early foul trouble sending Lori Decker to the bench with her third foul with 5:56 to play in the first half. Candace Mater and Diane Cook also spent much of the second period watching from the bench because of fouls. Central was able to tie the game at 17-17 but Valley added another two before the half to take the advantage. Early in the third quarter Candace Mater picked up her fourth personal foul and two minutes later Melissa Coffman had her 3rd per­ sonal. Valley still had the lead, 21-17, when Central’s 6’0” center Janet Masters drew her third foul and left the game. The free-throw ad­ vantage enjoyed by the host Hornets in the first half began to disapper as the Lions started to go to the charity stipe more often. Valley hit 13 of their game total 15 free-throws in the second half. With 5:55 left to play Masters fouled out and seconds later Lion Melissa Coffman got her fourth. But Valley defence con­ tinued to handcuff the Hornets and their efforts to stop the quick Lions resulted in another 6 foot Hornet, Cindy Chandler fouling out of the game. The Lions continued to score running off 17 points in the last 3 minutes and 24 seconds! Lions Melissa Coffman and Diane Cook each netted 20 points. Melanie Rogers played her best game this season with 6 assists, 7 rebounds and 9 points. Paula Service, Kris Sample, and Lori Decker also scored for Valley. Tammy Teachworth also saw action for Valley. Defense was the key to victory against Portland on Thursday. The Lions stole the ball from the Raiders numerous times 10 of those belonging to junior guard Melissa Coffman. Eight ofthe first quarter 10 points were scored by Diane Cook, who tallied 19 for the night, including 5 of 5 from the free-throw line. Valley quickly built a 26-16 halftime lead. The Lion press continued to baffle Portland into tur­ novers that the Lions used to score. Two Lions scored season highs. Senior center Lori Decker netted 10 points and gathered in 7 rebounds. Candace Mater added 8 points and had 8 assists in good team play. Diane Cook scored 19 points and teammate Melissa Coffman, 14. Paula Service played her best game of the season adding 6 points to the Lion score. Kris Sample, Melanie Rogers and Tammy Teachworth also saw action for the Lions. Valley will use their balanced scoring attack and quick defense to try to beat Bellevue at home on Monday and Vestaburg at Vestaburg on Tuesday. Game time for J.V. is 5:30. The Maple Valley cross­ country team edged out Bellevue 24-35 to continue its winning ways. Richard Kuhl paced all runners with a time of 16:58. Taking places for the Lions were Dan Halsey, 2nd; Don Hoffman, 3rd; Todd Braden, 5th; Randy Beachnau, 6th; Mike Trumble, 8th; John Mater, 9th; Tim Tobias, 10th. Marly Smith ran a good race as the only junior high runner. The lady Lions ran hard and finished 4th, 5th, 8th, 9th. April Browne led the Lions. Brenda Browne, Staci Hill, and Denice Gardner finishing in order. The Lions’ record now stands at 4-1 overall, 3-0 in the conference. Vermontville and Nash­ ville 7th and 8th grade football teams battled it out on the Fuller Street field last Saturday. The teams proved to be evenly matched. Scoring was kept to a minimum due to the efforts of the out­ standing defense of both teams. Among the leading ground gainers for Nashville was, half back Gary Reid, who ran in for the first touch down in the first quarter of the game, giving Nashville a six point lead. To increase Nashville’s lead full back Jerry Kent scored the second touch down in the third quarter. In the samex quarter, Vermontville’s full back, Ryan Trowbridge made a long run to score Ver­ montville’s single touch down, making the final score, Nashville twelve, Vermontville six. The Nashville team, coached by Larry Filter and Chuck Reid, has been the only undefeated team in the league. They have one more league game, before ending their action-packed season. • NOTICE • TO ALL-VILLAGE OF VERMONTVILLE & VERMONTVILLE TOWNSHIP RESIDENTS The Vermontville Landfill is closed.

Broadway, Hastings, Mich. 49058 P.O. Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) Maple Valley School Board approves borrowing *250,000. At a regular meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education held Monday, October 13; the board members approved an operating loan application resolution which is being filed with the State Depart­ ment of Education in the amount of $250,000. These funds are necessary to meet general operating expenses, employee insurance and retirement payments, and payroll during the month of November. This is the first time that the Maple Valley Schools have ever had to borrow funds to cover general school operational costs. General fund bills in the amount of $58,189.74 were approved for payment. A payment of $14,857.20 was made to Metal Building Specialties Co. from the building and site fund as partial payment on the windows installed at Kellogg Elementary. The total cost of this contract is $21,112.00. The September 19th payroll in the amount of $94,131.58 and the October 3rd payroll in the amount of $91,474.95 were approved for payment and transfer to the payroll account. Mr. Wolff reported that the tentative membership for state aid this year is 1,815 compared with 1,882 during the 1979-80 school year. It is expected that the audit of school membership will be conductedby personnel from the Eaton Intermediate School District early in November. He also reported that the state aid payment to the Maple Valley Schools in October was $334,386.45 compared with $374,199.00 last school year. Driver education funds have been received from the state in the amount of $5,400.00, whereas, the program costs as filed With, the state department of education shows a total cost of $13,222.13. The state has been paying a miximum of $30.00 per student which doesn’t come close to covering the cost to the local school district. Approval was given a revision in the master contract with the Eaton County Education Association , (Maple Valley Teachers) which would continue to have the district provide the health insurance benefits (or all fringe benefits) for the remainder of this master agreement for teachers who have been teaching a minimum of five consecutive years in the Maple Valley Schools. This was not included when the contract was ratified by the board of education at a prior meeting. This would relate to teachers who have exhausted all sick leave and are unable to teach because of personal illness or disability. Russell Geary and Elam Rockwell voted nay. Ernest Jacoby, sixth grade camp director, made a report on the success of the sixth grade camp which was held September 29 through October 3 at Mill Lake Outdoor Center, Waterloo Recreation Area. There were 131 students attending the camp. He recommended that the school district continue the camping program with consideration of an alternate site closer to the school district. He also stated that consideration should be given shortening the camp period one day to reduce total costs and avoid some licensing involvement. One of the fifth grade teachers attended camp this year in place ofa sixth grade teacher which he felt was real beneficial. He also mentioned that the board should designate an alter­ nate staff person as camp director for next year con­ sidering that he will not be available to attend camp. The board members ap­ proved a leave of absence for Pauline Dies, head cook at Maplewood Elementary School, for the period beginning October 16 through May 1,1981. She will be spending the winter months in Arizona because of her husband’s health. Barbara Barlond will assume the duties of head cook in the absence of Pauline with an adjustment in salary. Dorothy McMillen will assist on a full time basis in the kitchen at Maplewood Elementary. Gerald Aldrich reported that there are presently twenty seven students living outside the village limits who are with in five tenths of a mile of the main road, and the school bus is going in to pick up these students. No action was taken at this time regarding any changes and the matter was referred to committee. Bill Christensen, Maplewood Elementary Principal, made a report on the need to provide ad­ ditional teacher aide time at the fifth and sixth grade level at Maplewood Elementary considering the class size in accordance with the master agreement with the teachers. The ad- ministrators are to work out a transfer aide from Kellogg Elementary to cover this situation. A contract was approved for Patricia Kalczynski as secretary in the community school office at $3.40 per hour under the CETA program. High School principal Burr Hartenburg made a report related to the coverage of special events for the yearbook which in the past has been provided as a service by Bultman Studios considering that Bultman Studios were taking most all the senior pictures. He stated that it is questionable if they will be willing to continue the same services considering that seniors are having pictures taken at various studios, and their business at Maple Valley is declining. An executive session was held to discuss administrator salaries, but no action was taken at this time. Fred Corkins was absent from the meeting. Unpaid bills create financial woes for Nashville-based ambulance BY Susan Hinckley " The Nashville-based ambulance service, no stranger to life-and-death emergencies, is now faced with one of another, kind. Uncollected passenger fares are creating a financial bind for the Castleton - Maple Grove - Nashville ambulance department. “Our financial situation is getting a little shaky,” commented Geneva Brumm, treasurer for the ambulance board. The service has been self­ supporting up to this time, Gilmore makes Nashville campaign appearance James Gilmore, Republican Kalamazoo businessman who is seeking election to the Third Congressional District seat now held by U.S. Rep. Howard Wolpe (D-Delta Twp.) made a brief appearance in Nashville last Monday as part of a Hastings campaign tour. Several area Republicans were on hand forthe 4:30 p.m. coffee at the Mulberry Fore Club House. Appearing with Gilmore were three other Republican incumbents whose names will appear on the November 4 ballot. The candidates visiting Nashville Monday were, from left: Donald Gilmer, incumbent State Legislator (55th-Augusta); Judy Hughes, incumbent Barry County Prosecutor; James Gilmore; and David Wood, incumbent Barry County Sheriff. Adolph Douse, left, of Nashville discusses issues with James Gilmore, Republican candidate for U.S. 3rd District Congressman, at an informal coffee hour Monday at Mulberry Fore Club House. With Gilmore is his daughter, Ruth. (Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) but a backlog. of ap­ proximately $4,000 in un­ collected fares could put a potentially serious crimp in the department’s operation Since January 1975 the ambulance service had made 75 runs for which they have not been paid (the department averages about 15 runs per month). Some of the overdue bills are owed by local residents; others are for passengers who4ive a good distance from Nash­ ville but have used the local service when involved in accidents while traveling, in the area. The latter quite often tend to forget about reimbursement once the service has been rendered, points out Mrs. Brumm. “Do you think someone in Ludington, for example, is going to worry about a bill from Nashville?” she asks. Compounding the collection problem are passengers who mistakenly believe that their insurance covers ambulance tran­ sportation. Douglas Aspinall, president of the local ambulance service, notes that this is not the case. Generally speaking, tran­ sfers from the scene of in­ jury or illness to a hospital are not covered by in­ surance; transfers from hospital to hospital often are. “We also have lots of problems collecting from Medicare and Medicaid,” Continued on page 6— �Th* Mopl* Volley Mew*.

Later, she taught various junior and senior high classes in subjects that included Math, Geography, Social Studies, English and Art. Mrs. Hamp retired from the Maple Valley School system in the early. 1970’s and from the Putnam Public Library Board in 1977, after completing 30 years service When Mrs, Hamp first taught in Nashville schools, her husband John was head of the Agricultural Dept, there, and he also became a longtime local teacher.

The heavenly aroma of fresh-pressed apples filled the air, as the autumnal ritual of squeezing sweet nectar from the ripe, red fruit got under way at several village locations. Perhaps the best remembered scene at apple harvest time was Nashville’s historic old grist mill, situated alongside the Thornapple River on North Main Street. There, sim­ mering vats of rich apple butter and jelly added to the seasonal atmosphere, while the old waterwheel hummed with the milling of countless barrels of flour. Another village location that bustled with activity as leaves turned to rust was the Barney Brooks fruit evaporator on Sherman Street (in the building now commonly called the old Standard Stamping factory), at the Cleveland Street in­ tersection. That operation made local headlines for a most unusual reason some 90 years ago. “The most inebriated fire I ever saw was the one at Barney Brooks evaporator plant,” wrote the late C. W. Francis, who contributed many reminiscences to his hometown Nashville News back in the 1920’s. When the Brooks Dora and Louis Lass immigrated to America from Germany in 1886; led an itinerant miller's life in the West before buying the mill in 1916. He died 8 years l later. Noted for bestowing her homegrown floral bouquets on others, Dora lived to age 77. She succum­ bed in 1938, three months after a late April tumble into the chilly Thornapple River near her home. transformed ihto oils. Original unharmed. See our...

In September 1881, the Nashville News noted that the evaporator was going full blast, employing nine “hands” to process about 80 bushels of apples a day. “Two mammoth paring machines are operated by Neil Walrath and Will Liebhauser, and these pare, core and slice the apples, which then are spread on drying screens by four young ladies, and placed in drying apparatus where the tem­ perature is 200 degrees,” added the News account. “The peelings and cores are packed in barrels and shipped daily to a jelly factory, while the dried apples are packed in 50pound wooden boxes, with the top layer artistically arranged for appearance.” Cider and vinegar were also processed at the Brooks plant, but in time the old grist mill on North Main Street became the hub of Nashville’s apple season activity. Each fall, area farmers would haul wagonloads of homegrown fruit into town for processing. “Some would come in with a load of 15 to 20 bushels,” remembers Adolph Douse, who spent many leisure hours at the old grist mill as a lad. “Others would bring in only a bushel or two.” For cider making, he noted, farmers used apples that weren’t good enough for selling. ■ At the mill, apples were carried from the farmer’s rig to a grinder inside via a conveyor extending outside the building. Once inside, the apples were pulverized by a cylinder of knives moving against spring-backed baffles. The pulp then was wrapped in a heavy burlap blanket and placed on a large rack on the press. The apparatus applied immense pressure to extract the last drop of juice from the fruit. “The pulp was squeezed unitl it was almost dry,” remembers Douse. “Afterward, it was piled outside the mill for anyone who wanted to haul the residue away for hog feed, fertilizer or wormbeds. It was very The "apple" wing was added to Nashville's grist mill during the 1907-16 ownership by Fredric Kyser and son Edwin (later changed name to Kane). Unidentified men stand near conveyor that carried apples into the cider press room. Razed in 1977, the mill was built in 1881 by local minister Philip Holler to replace an earlier facility on the west side of the Thornapple River. good for plants; lots of folks used it on their flowers.” Meanwhile, the freshpressedjuice had flowed into holding- tanks below the floor, then was pumped into the overhead vats and siphoned Jnto barrels or other containers provided by the farmers. “Some had cider made from their apples,” recalls Douse. “Others wanted hard cider or vinegar.” He remembers that in winter months a large supply of vinegar was stored in wooden barrels in the basement of the mill. Adolph’s memories of cider-making revolve "around the family of Louis Lass, who with his wife, Dora, came to America in 1886 from their native Germany. After an adventurous life in the West, with Louis working as an itinerant miller in states ranging from Oregon to Texas, the Lasses came to Michigan with their son, Otto, and bought the Nashville mill in 1916 from the Frederic Kyser family. -Cider-making at the old mill had blossomed initially under ownership of the Kysers, who had purchased the mill in 1907, a year after the death of its founder, Elder Philip Holler. An Advent Christian minister, Holler had built the mill, in 1881 to replace a primitive 1868 facility he owned on the west side of the river. Under the direction of the Kysers and their son, Edwin L. (Kane), the mill operation was expanded with an “apple” wing added on the north side. Here, the custom of making apple butter, boiled cider and jelly was established. Louis had died in 1924 and Otto had taken over the operation. Though he quit milling flour before World War II due to stiffened government regulations, Otto still was making a little cider at the mill as late as 1946, when he sold out to Phyllis and Ira James Rizor. The Rizors upgraded the original wooden workings of the old mill, installed electric motors to replace water power, and eventually phased out the cider operatioa But Mrs. Rizor still echoes the recollections of many Nashville folks who as youngsters found an after­ school haven at the mill, where they were offered a free drink of cider and an apple “to help stave off the pangs of hunger until supper. The cider press, like the flour milling apparatus, was powered by a waterwheel near the river dam. Apples were pressed between large burlap blankets; juice flowed into holding tanks below floor. Wooden barrels served as containers for farmers to transport cider and vinegar. Pumped into overhead vats, the cider was siphoned into the barrels. Crocks of apple butter rest on the shelves in this 1925 photo. Otto B... J. Lass,, son of Louis and Dora,, took over mill operation at his father's death and was still making cider as late as 1946, when he sold to the Rizors. A talented whittler, /Otto also played the banjo and. guitar, was a longtime Mason, and spoke German fluently. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, October 22, 1980 — Page 5 Local residents attended clowning workshop Castleton*Maple Grove Twps. will go in with Nashville to build transfer station by Susan Hinckley In a special dual meeting Wednesday evening, the township boards of Castleton and Maple Grove decided to join hands with Nashville in converting the present village landfill into a tran­ sfer and recycling station to serve area residents.

The townships each will pay $25 for a lease of 25 years or “any part thereof.” The lease language approved by township officials also states that the agreement may be ter­ minated or extended by mutual consent of all three govermental units. The contract also will grant Nashville a right-ofway over the leased property to feach the back portion of the present landfill site, where the village intends to dispose of leaves, brush and tree debris collected from time to time by the local Dept, of Public Works. Construction on the leased site is expected to include a concrete ramp and pad to hold a 42-yard dumpster box, a small metal building to house materials collected for recycling, and chain link fencing of the leased area. A new drive through the site may also be needed. Costs of these improvements will be borne by the two townships, with Castleton paying two-thirds of the total and Maple Grove, one-third. All three govern­ mental units will share equally in costs of operating the new station, though of­ ficials have expressed the opinion that the facility should be self-sustaning through fees collected from patrons and from sale of recycleable materials. Some of the constructioh costs for converting the present landfill into its new role are expected to be covered by an approximate $6,700 of a $405,000 Com­ munity Block Grant allocated for the greater Nashville area last year by the U.S. Dept, of Housing and Urban Development. The new facility will be governed by a 6-member authority comprised of two representatives from each governmental unit.

Nashville, village trustees Carl Tobias and John Hughes; from Castleton Township, Justin Cooley, supervisor, and Nelson Rasey, Trustee Duane Hamilton. The authority will have power to set fees and otherwise control operation of the transfer station and recycling center. Cooley suggested Wednesday that bookkeeping for the operation be handled by the treasurers of the three units, with the duty being rotated on an annual basis. Trustee Rasey expressed concern about who would own the improvements built on the leased land, in the event that one governmental unit sought to withdraw from the agreement at a future date. After discussion, township officials concurred Wednesday that any unit terminating participation in operation of the facility would forfeit any investment in the project “That way, a termination will-notputa (financial) bind on any other unit,” noted Cooley. Terms agreed upon by the townships Wednesday are expected to be ratified by the Nashville Village Council at their regular meeting Thursday, October 23. Representatives of the village council were present at Wednesday’s meeting to offer input into formulation of the agreement. Eleven Eaton County residents attended the 4-H Beginning Clowning Workshop Oct. 17-18. Those attending \^ere:: Harriett, T Tim and Mark Crisenbery, Connie Green^ Pat and Christy Post, Meredith Lord, all of Charlotte; Tregna Oren, Kevin Franke of Lansing; Mo Bisel of Eaton Rapids; and Mike Barnhart of Nashville. They joined other adult and teen 4-H leaders frorrt across the state at Kettunen Center, the state 4-H leadership training facility, near Tustin. The workshop was designed to explore the basic activities of clowning. Five sessions were offered during the two-day workshop, including makeup, costume design and balloon artistry. A highlight of the conference was a talent show open to all clowns attending the workshop. "The workshop gave leaders the information they need to start their own 4-H clowning club,” says Nancy Diuble, Eaton County 4-H Youth Agent. The workshop was sponsored by a grant from Cummings Fund and the Michigan National Bank of Detroit through the Michigan 4-H Foundation.

Vermontville Hwy., Potterville, Ml. 48876 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, October 22,1980 — Page 6 Ambulance Service, added Aspinall. “It usually takes at least 90 days to receive payment.” The current passenger rate is $55 for a resident of Castleton or Maple Grove townships, plus $1 a loaded mile. For non residents, the charge is $75 plus $1 per loaded mile. “If we could collect every run we make now, we would be in good (financial) shape,” noted Aspinall. Several of the past due accounts are for deceased individuals, complicating the collection procedure. As a matter of routine, am­ bulance passengers are billed initially then receive two follow-up statements if necessary. Still, that practice has not been totally effective. Now, Mrs. Brumm is sending special letters with a plea for payment. “I can’t understand why a person won’t pay their ambulance bill,” said Mrs. Brumm. “If we want to maintain the same good afnbulance service we’ve had, we’re going to have to pay for it.” While the Castleton Maple Grove - Nashville fire department is taxsupported, the ambulance service always has been self­ supporting. The depart­ ments were separated in January 1979 to comply with new state regulations. Before that time, volun­ teer firemen had in­ terchangeably manned fire trucks and ambulance. Now, 15 local personnel are trained and state-certified as Emergency Medical Technicians. In addition to the stiff schooling they have already completed, five from Nashville are soon to start 14 weeks of advanced training at Pennock Hospital in a new state program being piloted in Barry County. “It’s a more advanced program,” explained Aspinall. “It includes IV’s and better airway management.” In layman’s language, that means those certified under the program will be able to administer intravenous in the am­ bulance and aid respiratory emergencies more fully. The ambulance personnel aren’t overly paid, notes Mrs. Brumm, adding that for from front the most part it is a labor of love for tiie community. The EMTs receive $6 per run for the first hour, and $1 for every hour over one. Operational costs for the department are soaring recently due to a new safety center built to house the ambulance service, separating it physically from the fire department. The approximately $36,000 structure was financed primarily by a portion of a $405,000 Community Block Grant approved for the greater Nashville area last year by the U.S. Dept, of Housing and Urban Development, but the costs of running utility services to the center, heating the building, increased insurance, etc., must be borne by the ambulance depart­ ment. The department now has two operational ambulances' a 1980 vehicle being added last spring through a HUD allocation of $18,000, ap­ proximately three-quarters of the cost of the unit. The two townships paid the balance. The old 1972 am­ bulance is used now as a back-up. In August, both Castleton and Maple Grove township voters approved millage to help support the ambulance service along with the fire department. However, according to Castleton Township Supervisor Justin Cooley, .even that revenue will not provide immediate help for the financially troubled ambulance department. The tax measures will be reflected in tax bills issued in December 1981, more than a year from now. Cooley estimates that the one-quarter mill approved by Castleton voters for ambulance equipment and operation will generate about $4,000 annually for the department. In the same 5­ year proposal, which ac­ tually represents a reduced renewal of a currentlyexpired millage for that purpose, voters approved half a mill for fire equip­ ment. In Maple Grove Township, • voters approved a one-mill renewal for five years for fire and ambulance equip­ ment and for maintenance, housing and operation of that equipment. Determination of how that appropriation will be split between the fire and ambulance departments has yet to be decided by the township board. “We hope it will be about one-quarter mill (for the ambulance service), which would generate about $2,300 per year,” notes Ted McKelvey, Maple Grove Township supervisor and chairman of the ambulance board, a 6-member board comprised of represen­ tatives of the three govern­ mental units. However, until those newly-approved revenues become a reality, it appears the ambulance department may have to wing it on fees collected from runs. “We have no intention of discontinuing the ambulance service,” points out Cooley, but he agreed that the financial picture is bleak at the moment. “No tax monies will be coming to the am­ bulance department for at least a year, unless we (the township and village) ap­ propriate monies from our general funds for it.” Meanwhile, Mrs. Brumm is busy writing letters to past due patrons of the service. “We would gladly receive any amount on the bills,” she stresses. “Even $5 or $10 a month on the unpaid balance would be welcome.” Maple Valley student wins 'Miss Amity' award at teen pageant Kandy Kane, 15-year-old Maple Valley High School sophomore, has been selected “Miss Amity” by contestants in the recent “Miss Teen All-American Pageant.” Kandy, daughter of Shirley and Lawrence Kane, was one of 56 contestants in th^ pageant and was selected for the honor by a vote of the girls. The award means that ■ Kandy was the one the majority would like to know better or to have as a sister, she explained. The pageant was held the weekend of October 12 at the Northville Hilton and was a whirl-wind of activity. The contestants had to write a commercial about them­ selves to convey their strong points to others. The also had to model evening and casual wear. Dance rehearsals were a busy part of the weekend because ' the group_ per­ formed a dance together on the final day of the pageant. Kandy is a graduate of Austin’s Professional Modeling School in Lansing, and became interested in entering the pageant through Austins which helps sponsor it. Kandy’s career goal is to become a professional model. “I’d like to become the best known teen model,” she says.

Battle Creek, Ml. 49015 (616) 962*5473 A weekly report from - ERNEST NASH State Representative PRISONERS PAY - Attorney General Kelley pulled a little-used 1935 law off the shelf last week, dusted it off, and said he will use it in the future to try to force prison inmates who have substantial bank accounts to pay at least some of the costs of their room and board. POW LICENSES - Michigan drivers who are former prisoners of war will be able to purchase special “POW” license plates at no extra charge if the House and Senate approve a recently introduced bill. BEER BANNED - The sale of beer and wine at rural gas stations will be banned if a bill is approved in the Legislature. It closes a loophole allowing the limited sale of such beverages, and would discourage the lethal com­ bination of drinking and driving. FARMERS’ PROTECTION - There’s a bill in the House that would protect the state’s dairy farmers from severe financial losses if milk cooperatives go out of business.Modeled after a Wisconsin law, it’s aimed at assuring far­ mers they will receive payment for their milk even if the cooperative to which they belong is liquidated. BUDGET PICTURE - State Budget Director Dr. Gerald Miller announced last week that the economic picture in Michigan is looking worse all the time. A new reason for alarm, Miller said, is that income tax revenues in Sep­ tember were about three percent less than expected. ROAD TESTS - Drivers who pass a state-approved driver’s education course and written examination will no longer have to pass a road test in order to earn their first driver’s license, under legislation which took effect last week. The legislation will save the state about $500,000 a year. SELF-EMPLOYMENT A bill to promote self­ employment by allowing persons to take out worker’s compensation insurance policies on themselves has been introduced in the House. It’s designed to provide greater incentives for homeowners to hire laid-off workers who may be trying to earn extra money as painters and remodelers. ENCOURAGING JOBS - A bill was recently introduced to encourage investment and business opportunities in the most economically depressed areas of the state. The proposal would allow manufacturing and industrial businesses located in distressed areas to claim a credit against their single business tax for hiring new employees. CHILD SUPPORT - A bill to eliminate “double taxation” on child support payments was introduced in the House recently. The bill would exlude child support payments from the definition of household income.

The award was presented to Publisher Fred Jacobs by Nancy Diuble, extension 4-H youth agent, at the annual Leader’s Recognition Banquet in Charlotte. The banquet is held in honor of all the volunteer teen and adult leaders who have served during the past year.

From the Vermontville area, Janice Youngs of the Vermontville Jr. Farmers Club was named for the five- year silver clover award. “4-H...50 Years Ago” was Ihe^jopic of the keynote address by Don Shepard. The first 4-H Club in Eaton County- was formed in Vermontville, about 1918, and it was a pig club, Shepard noted. He said the first fair was held in 1919.

Edythe Klinkner of Phoenix. Ariz., are daughters of the late Mr. and Mrs Chancy Hicks of Nashville. (Edytne was a recent contributor to a Memories column about early local railroading.) Another sister. Madeline, is now deceased. While here Wednesday, Dorothy and Orval called on Clifton and Arloa Baxter.' Later, Mrs. McCleary met your reporter and toured Putnam Public Library where she delivered two antique books that she and her sisters have donated to the library. The 2-volume set published in 1905 tells how America’s heroes won the Medal of Honor and is entitled Deeds of Valor. The illustrated books are filled with personal reminiscences and records of officers and enlisted men who were rewarded by Congress for “most conspicuous acts of bravery on the battlefield and high seas and in Arctic exploration.’’ The set originally belonged to William Issac Hicks (1842­ 1917), father of Chancy. He was a Civil war veteran wounded in 1863 at the Battle of Salem Church, Virginia. William and his wife, Matilda, moved to Michigan in the late 1800’s and retired from farming at Crosswell. The books were inherited by their son, Chancy A. Hicks, who in turn passed them on to his daughters. The two volumes are too valuable to be circulated, but will be available for reading in the library's reference room. Rev. Kenneth C. McComber, as Assemblies of God missionary to the Far East, will be speaking Sunday, November 2, at 11 a.m. at the Nashville Assembly of God. Details elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News.

We hope those who may have missed that first account will enjoy this “rerun”, along with our regular readers.) From harmless pranks to outright devastation, celebration of Halloween in early Nashville ran the gamut, leaving several hilarious and other not-somerry memories behind. Local householders and shopkeepers alike were the butt of seasonal mischief before modern-day trick-ortreating by witches, ghosts and goblins became an accepted community practice. Before the turn of the century and well into the 20th, Halloween seldom was child-oriented. Instead, a great deal of near-adult energy was expended in an attempt to shock the sleeping citizenry, awaking to scenes of deviltry wrought in the night. “The usual amount of havoc was wreaked upon the town on Halloween and Main Street was a shambles Tuesday morning,” reported the Nashville News in 1899. “A hay baler belonging to a Maple Qrove man blocked the street in front of Rasey’s barbershop, a buggy was on the roof of Charles Scheldt’s barn and A. S. Mitchell’s carbide house finally was found atop a pile of lumber up at the Lentz Table fac­ tory.” All of the culprits, think of except a hearse were however, did not escape lined up on the walks, and unseen. pedestrians had to take to “Village officers arrested the middle of the streets.” five young men in the course However, the young folks of the evening but released had perpetrated one good them to the custody of their joke on themselves, which parents at midnight,” ad­ did not escape the local vised the News. press.

While gala festivities at private homes entertained much of the local citizenry on Halloween, others were wreaking havoc upon the town.” During the down years of the Great Depression, community Halloween observances were staged by civic and church groups. (Photo loane.d, courtesy L,eah Wolrath P„artridge) Nashville's Main Stret was a shambles the morning after Halloween in this early 1920's photo. A favorite target of pranksters was Seth I. Zemer, proprietor of the former Pratt Hardware (present-day Steak House) on the corner of Main and Maple. At extreme left is the old Star Theater (earlier the Park, later the Flo), now a vacant lot. Adjacent is the 1912 brick structure presented to the village by Mrs. C. M. Putnam as a "Women's Rest." (Today, it is Nashville's village nail.) Sidewalk debris includes a windmill and "everything on wheels." In the inter­ section is an outhouse traditionally dragged downtown each Halloween from Phil Penfold's blacksmith shop on South Main. (Photo loaned, courtesy Pearl Penfold Staup) collect rain water for washing, but that was about all we did," remembers a present-day senior citizen, who still recalls the traditional ritual of older boys tipping over outhouses. “They (older boys) also brought in a lot of things from the country, put wagons up on barn roofs, that sort of thing,” continued the commentator. “Halloween wasn’t much of a celebration for kids in those days:” The staggering quantity of rural items brought into town on Halloween also is recalled by Mix. “Anything they could haul was brought in,” he said. “And it wasn’t all boys doing it; some were full-grown men.’1 The approach of the Great Depression began to put a damper on the annual celebration just days after the stockmarket crash in late October 1929. “Halloween this year turned •out to be a quiet affair,” noted the News. “The special police hired by the council had little to keep them busy.” Two years later, with the country well into economic decline, local Halloween festivities became, a communitysponsored event. “The Nashville Chamber of Commerce is financing and arranging a Witches’ Night party for the youngsters in Riverside Park,” announced the News. “There will be contests, games and refreshments.” At the height of the Depression in 1933, the local community again attempted to brighten the Halloween season for area youngsters. This time the event was church-sponsored, setting a local precedent. “The senior and intermediate E. L. C. E. of the Evangelical Church held a Halloween Festivaf in the Ralph Wetherbee Sales rooms on Main Street Saturday night,” reported the News in 1933. “This being the first of its kind in Nash­ ville, it was greatly enjoyed by all. To be led through the long dark back room to the pitch black basement to see only ghosts, fiery skulls, etc., was indeed a horror to be remembered.” (1980 note: the Wetherbee Sales was an early auto agency located in what is now the Baby Bliss factory, commonly known as the McLaughlin Building.) The nation survived the Great Depression and a second World War, and Nashville saw the return of traditional Halloween celebrations, a mixture ,of pure fun and downright deviltry. “Halloween was observed in Nashville Monday night in about normal fashion,” observed the News in 1949. “Gangs of teen-aged boys worked hard at dragging moveable objects of all description into the streets and younger boys and girls plied the ancient trjck-ortreat racket from door to door. “Enough soap to do the entire town’s laundry next Monday was rubbed on store windows and the soaping took the form of the usual inanitities and obscenities scrawled by adolescents after dark.” Perhaps a few things had changed since Halloween 1899.

The funds were raised in a recent high school alumni football game sponsored'by the Little League. “This brings us to about $5,000 of our nearly $9,000 goal,” commented Harold Pufpaff,- president of the MVAB, in accepting the check. The MVAB was formed earlier this fall in an attempt to reinstate the 1980-81 athletic programs that were eliminated in recent budget cuts at Maple Valley Schools. The cuts were made following voter rejection of a proposed 3-mill operational increase. In a late September doorto-door canvass in the Maple Valley School district, MVAB volunteers raised approximately $4,000 in in­ dividual donations. Their efforts inspired the Little League to sponsor an Oc­ tober 11 alumni football game and dedicate net proceeds-to the MVAB. Gate receipts at that well attended event were ap­ proximately $1,000. After meeting expenses which included paying officiating referees, the Little League Football organization netted a $886 profit to be turned Nashville Village Council — MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING — The regular meeting of the Nashville Village Council held October 9, 1980 at 7:00 p.m. at the Community Center in Nashville was called to order by President Harold Christiansen.

Nashville, Wednesday, October 29, 1980 — Page 8 New rate system part of new refuse collection contract Nashville residents soon will be paying refuse collection fees based upon the amount of trash generated by each household. The new rate system is part of a 5-year refuse collection contract with Hastings Sanitary Service, Inc., approved by the Nash­ ville Village Council Thursday. The carrier also will be handling billing and collection. The new contract is effective November 1. Kenneth Neil, president of Hastings Sanitary Service, Inc., said Thursday he ex­ pects the first billing to be in the mail to patrons at the start of each 3-month collection period. Users of the weekly curb­ side pick up service will be expected to make payments directly to Hastings Sanitary Service. Neil, who also serves Hastings under a similar system, said about 90 percent of his patrons pay by mail. Nashville has been served by Hastings Sanitary Service for (he past five years, but it has been under 1- or 2-year direct contracts with the village. Under the currently ex­ piring agreement, Nashville paid the Hastings firm $1,575 per month fori residential Self-help groups _&re booming and they don't cost a lot of money. Alcoholics Anonymous is the granddaddy of all. Mended Hearts, a group for people with heart surgery. Reach to Recovery has helped 75,000 women who had mastec­ tomies last ye'hr. Living! is a self-help group for arthritics; there are blind and deaf groups also.

DIRECTORS FUNERAL HOME in Nashville Phone 852-0840 refuse collection based upon 480 homes in the village. Patrons were charged $3.50 per month for the service and paid the fee at Village Hall in connection with monthly sewer and water service bills. The uniform charge system was eliminated and the new contract approved Thursday. Patrons of the new carrier-billed service will pay on a graduating scale based upon the amount of refuse generated by each household, calculated by the number of cans or equivalent bags set out for weekly collection. Neil reserved the right for a yearly review of residential rates and renegotiation, if necessary. Patrons setting out one can (or two 20-gallon Bags) per week will pay $3.75 per month for the service. The monthly charge for two cans (or four bags) will be $5.75; three cans (or six bags) will be $7.75. Senior citizens who generate no more than one can or one bag of refuse per week will get a special break under the new contract. They will pay only $2.50 per month, which is a $1 reduction from the current uniform rate. “We wanted to do something special for the senior citizens,” commented Neil Thursday. He said his firm had not yet determined whether the age break would be 65, 62 or lower. Neil made the senior citizen provision in response to concern expressed earlier by the Nashville Village Council that the present uniform rate system Was not equitable due to the dif­ ference in quantity of refuse generated by various sized families. The decision to turn billing for the service over to the carrier was made by the council in an attempt to crack down on what officials called “widespread cheating” under the present refuse collection system. Village officials said in August they suspected many instances of two or more families doubling up refuse al one home to avoid payment for the service. The council cited other cases of non-subscribing individuals setting out garbage for curbside pick up. Officials agreed it was virtually impossible for the refuse collectors to deter­ mine which households ac­ tually were patrons and which were merely “free loading” under the present system in which the village did the billing. With the new carrier-billed service it is expected the haulers will know precisely which households are patrons. Neil said he based his new contract on a potential 450 residential subscribers in the village. Some commercial ven­ tures and large apartment units are serviced under individual contracts between owners and the refuse hauler. Hastings Sanitary Service, Inc. was the only contractor to meet the October 23rd deadline for bids on the new contract. In other business Thursday, the council: -Approved terms of a lease agreement with Castleton and Maple Grove townships for a portion of Nashville’s landfill to con­ struct a transfer station and recycling center, to be governed by a board com­ prised of representatives of all three entities. --Approved closing of the landfill on November 1, while conversion of the site is under way. --Approved sale of an old radar speed timing unit by the Nashville Police Dept, for $100. The village pur­ chased a new unit last year. Hydro-electric for rural communities program to be expanded East Lansing, Michigan, October 9, 1980 Rural Communities who wish to reduce their utility bills by building or reactivating small hydro-electric generating facilities may get a boost from a new Federal program announced today by the White House. Phillip Roberts, Farmers Home Administration (FmHA) State Director in Michigan, said that “Under the program, FmHA low interest loans will be made available for hydro-electric projects.” FmHA is a credit agency of the U.S. Depart­ ment of Agriculture. The program will help small rural communities, many of which operate their own generating facilities, stablize their electricity costs and reduce dependency upon fossil fuels. The change of regulation specifies that loans can be made to: -Restore deactivated dams and hydro-electric generators. -Enlarge or improve existing plants. -Construct new facilities. The Department of Energy has identified over 3,000 small dams which were once used for hydro-electric power arid are considered promising to rebuild. Those in areas of less, than 10,000 population would be eligible for FmHA assistance under the Agency’s Community Action-Ads BANKRUPTCY DOES NOT MEAN LOSING EVERYTHING.

The Primer is being released by the Commission, for wide distribution to American Farmers, rpany of whom have shown a high degree of interest in producing fuel alcohol — ethanol — on their farms for use in their farm and personal vehicles. U.$. Senator Birch Bayh, Chairman of the Com­ mission, noted, “We have received literally hundreds of requests over the past year from farmers wanting to know more about producing their own fuel. This booklet has been prepared to answer many of the most frequently asked questions and to aid farmers in making informed decisions before devoting time and resources to ethanol production. In the truest sense, it is a con­ sumer’s manual for potential on-farm ethanol producers, and will be available to every farmer interested in producing fuel alcohol.” The Primer, Primer, prepared prepared by by The the Commission in con­ junction with the National Center for Appropriate Techonology and the engineering firm of Energy, Inc., briefly outlines the major factors — feedstocks, financing, safety, vehicle conversion, permit requirements — that far­ mers must consider if they intend to produce ethanol on a small scale. The document also illustrates the current state of small scale ethanol production technology by describing (with photos and illustrations) four small scale stills. The Primer is not a technical document that wi technical document that will enable a person to construct and operate an on-farm still, but it does lay out in plain English the steps that must be taken and costs and benefits that must be con­ sidered before investing in such an enterprise. It also identifies organizations and other resources that would be of help to a farmer wishing to explore the issue further.

Dale Fisher, Co-Pres. Barb Dickinson, Sec. County The November, 1980, Michigan Ballot will contain three property tax proposals (Proposal A — SmitbBullard Proposal Amendment; Proposal C — Executive Legislative Coalition Proposal and Proposal D — Tisch Tax Cut Amendment) of concern to Michigan farmers. Since Michigan farmers paid 131.8 million dollars in property taxes in 1978, passage of any of the three proposals would have an impact upon taxes paid by farmers. Dr. Ralph Hepp, Extension Specialist at Michigan State University has analyzed the impact of the three property tax proposals on Michigan farmers. A summary of his analysis is printed below. Michigan farmers currently have the alter­ native to participate in P.A.116, Farmland and Open Space Preservation Act, which provides more property tax relief without the corresponding increase in other taxes than any of the proposed property tax amendments. Farmers who currently do not participate in P.A.116 need to evaluate for their situation whether current options for property tax relief are more ad­ vantageous than the proposals to be decided in the November, 1980, general election. For the average farm, this analysis shows a tax advantage with the current tax system for farmers. Without the P.A.116 credit, Michigan farmers would receive a 9.2 percent tax reduction under the Tisch proposal, a slight tax reduction under the Coalition proposal and an increase in total tax obligation for the Smith - Bullard proposal. Property tax relief under the proposals are tempered by the increases in income. Self­ employment and sales taxes and a loss in the homestead property tax credit. Whether the marginal savings in taxes (9.2 percent) and a 6-10 of one percent savings in total production expenses is worth considering for far­ mers under the Tisch proposal depends upon how farmers evaluate the loss of government services at the state and local level and the likely increase in fees paid if farmers desired to purchase the lost services. The majority of Michigan farmland is currently owned byr operating farmers and retired farmers. Generally farmers agree that farmland should be owned by farmers rather than investors. But farmland is an excellent investment for foreign and nonfarm investors. Since the Tisch and Smith-Bullard proposals provide significant property tax cuts, investors would be attracted to pur­ chasing Michigan farmland because the yearly cash flow requirenyents to own Conf, next page — MESSAGE TO THE VOTERS OF MAPLE GROVE & CASTLETON TWPS. ... Commissioner District No. 7 On November fourth, you will have an opportunity to vote to change county commissioner. At the present time the county planning and zoning are very hostile against any var­ iance to allow mobile homes in Barry County. As the present cost of new homes are not within the means, of newly mar­ ried couples or, elderly retired people, thus restrictions on mobile homes should be liberalized. The County Board of Commissioners have this authority and responsibility and have not done so. What we have now is creeping socialism that only leads to communism. Vote for a change ...

The primary purpose of the program — the brainchild of the Michigan Council on Physical Fitness and Health — is to helpstudents establish and maintain good fitness and health habits early in life. IMMUNIZATION LEGISLATION Governor Milliken recently signed into law a bill that will allow school authorities to require students in any grade to receive im­ munization shots to protect against spreading disease. Before the signing, school authorities could refuse entrance on grounds of insufficient immunization only to children entering school for the first time. HOSPICE STANDARDS Governor Millken signed legislation a few weeks ago to establish standards of quality for care in Michigan hospices. A hospice is a health care program for the terminally ill, combining services to meet the physical, psychological, social and spiritual needs of the individual and his or her family. GRIM ECONOMY - The amount of money withheld from paychecks for state income taxes dropped 3.6 percent in September compared to the same month a year ago.

Michigan state employees have saved taxpayers more than a quarter million dollars a year by suggest ing ways to improve efficiency in government . Six of the nine suggesters received the maxiumum $1,000 reward in the state’s Suggestion Award Program, which was passed by the Legislature in 1978. DRINKING DRIVERS - A study released recently by a pair of University of Michigan researchers indicates that between 1972 and 1978, when the legal drinking age was 18, alcohol-related accidents involving young adults rose dramatically. From 1978, when the limit was raised again to 21, to the present, the number of accidents involving young drivers who had been drinking sharply declined. INDIAN FISHING - Negotiations between the state, U.S. Department of Interior and two Michigan Indian tribes appear to be going well, and we may soon see a resolution of the 10-year-old dispute over the use of Great Lakes waters. Commercial fishermen argue that the Indians are depleting the supply of lake trout by "indiscriminate” practices; the Indians say they have treaty rights to fish, and contend that it’s too costly to change their present fishing methods. Save! on home heating Not long ago home heating energy was considered cheap and abundant. Much was wasted, camouflaged as convenience. Now it is known that existing energy supplies are limited, and every person who pays a heating bill knows fuel is no longer cheap. Alternative home heating energy sources was the subject of a Energy Efficient Homes Tour, sponsored by the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service. Over one-hundred people ’ toured homes utilizing solar, wind and wood energy. Free informational bulletins from Michigan State University, that were distributed on the tour, are available at the Cooperative Extension Service Office.

Proposals — from page 11 Michigan farmland would be reduced. A significant in­ crease in Michigan farmland prices would be one result of passage of the Tisch and Smith-Bullard tax proposals. Increased land prices would make it more difficult for younger farmers to get established in farming and commercial family farmers to purchase additional land. The increased competition by investors for Michigan farmland would defeat farmers objective of owning their own land. The Smith Bullard proposal allows a reduction in the millage rate to 24.5 mills on family owned and operated farms and a maximum 55 mills on farms not operatedby the owner. Since approximately 30 percent of Michigan’s far­ mland is owned by landlords who do not operate the land and approximately 90 per­ cent of the rented land is owned by retired farmers or their spouses, former far­ mers have the potential for increased property taxes. Retired ’ farmers who rent their land to operating farmers generally have relatively low incomes and are not able to allocate limited disposable income for increased property taxes. Retired farmers who have household income below $9,000 would not be affected by the higher millage rate because the homestead property tax credit would rebate the increase property tax obligation. However, retired farmers who are obtaining the maximum $1,200 homestead property tax credit could expect an increase in property taxes.

The water had a hand in 5 Maple Valley turnovers, but the Lions held on enough to gain the victory. Lion quarterback Mike Kelly scored 2 touchdowns, a 2 point conversion, and passed for a conversion as well in leading Maple Valley Io a 22-9 lead. Lion coach Dan Watson praised the work of Terry Pierce on defense. ‘‘He made several key plays,” Watson said. “He just seemed to be where the ball was and tipped passes, made saving tackles, he did it all.” Kelly started things off in the first quarter by scoring on a quarterback sneak. Jeff Christianson set up the 2 yard sneak by returning the opening kick off 78 yards. Kelly also got the 2 point conversion. Mark Sutfin score his first touchdown of the year for the Lions when he went over from the 2 yard line later in the first quarter. Central Montcalm got on the scoreboard early in the second quarter when quarterback Al Adams hit Walt Simons with a 32 yard touchdown strike. Maple Valley answsered with Kelly scoring his second touchdown on a sneak. Tom Brooke added the 2 point conversion and the Lions led 22-6. Central Montcalm struck just before half when Jeff Hill booted a 34 yard field goal. Central Montcalm moved within 7 points in the third quarter on a 5 yard run by Tony Walcutt. A pass at­ tempt for the conversion that flew out of the end zone cost them moving any closer. In the fourth quarter Adams rambled 15 yards to paydirton an option play and the score was 22-21. But Central Montcalm failed on a pass for the conversion again and the Lions held a slim 1 point lead. The Lions could not move the ball so they punted and put Central Montcalm on their 3 yard line. Adams rolled out to pass and went back into the end zone. Maple Valley rushers forced him out of the pocket and Adams threw the ball away. Officials called him for in­ tentional grounding and awarded the Lions a safety and much needed breathing room. Adams hit on 6 of 20 passes for 129 yards, and Central Montcalm rushed for 118 yards. Maple Valley in comparison, rushed for 241 yards, and Kelly was 2 of 8 passing for 20 yards. Brooke was the leading rusher for the Lions with 155 yards on 24 carries.

The opinions and results Of these meetings will be reported for discussion at the 1981 White House Conference on Aging. The Community Forum in this area will be held on November 6, from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at Bell Haven Senior Center, 41 Bell Haven, North State Road, Belding, Michigan. People of all ages and background are urged to attend. “The issues raised at these local forums will no doubt face every person in someway at sometime in their daily lives,” said Alfred James. In the past the rural elderly have been the most neglected of the elderly population, according to Mr. Leon Harper, associate executive director, 1981 White House Conference on Aging. These local forums can help insure that all local voices are heard in Washington, when decisions are made regarding services for America’s elder citizens.

So did his challenger, Kalamazoo businessman James Gilmore. Both arrived with an en­ tourage of autos and vans carrying supporters who distributed literature up and down Main Street. It was a repeat appearance here for both candidates in the final swing of what has been called one of the liveliest Michigan congressional races on record. Saturday’s tight schedule gave either man little time to discuss issues, but folks on Nashville’s Main Street and in the local business places seemed pleased just to greet and shake hands with the two candidates, who arrived about an hour apart Other points visited in Barry County included Hickory Corners, Delton, Prairieville, Orangeville, Hastings, Freeport, Alto, and Woodland. After Saturday’s final glimpse of the candidates, the decision now is up to the Third District Voters. Tuesday will tell the tale of how successful the campaigns have been.

Fire claims three in Maple Grove Fire Sunday in this historic Maple Grove building brought death to Diana Harrington, her two-year-old son Jason and her sister, Marcia Fox. By Susan Hinckley An early Sunday morning fire in an historic Maple Grove building snuffed out the lives of three persons. Dead is 20-year-old Diana Harrington, her two-year-old son Jason, and Mrs. Harrington’s sister, Marcia Beth Fox, 11. The victims were found in a bedroom they shared in a second story apartment in the 3-unit apartment building, converted from a former century-old general store located about four miles southwest of Nash­ ville. Owner of the building is Mrs. Ruth Redmond Casler, a former Nashville area resident now of Hickory Corners. Escaping from the second floor apartment in which the victims died were Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Fox, parents of Mrs. Harrington, and their teen-aged son. Four persons in a first floor apartment also escaped the blaze. They are Loretta and Bill Roberts, Jr. and children, Jeremy, 2, and Michelle, 9 months. The other first floor apartment was occupied by Barbara Redmond, but she was not home. The Nashville Fire Dept, received the fire call about 4:50 a.m. and found the building well-involved. The fire was spotted and reported by neighbors. Nashville firefighters remained on the scene until about 11:30 a.m. They were aided by tankers from Hastings, Woodland, Ver­ montville, Delton, Hickory Corners, and Johnstown Twp. fire departments. Cause of the fire is still under investigation. An officer from the state fire marshal’s office in Lansing was on the scene Sunday afternoon and was expected to return Monday morning to resume the investigation. A preliminary report in­ dicates the three probably died of smoke inhalation. There are also unconfirmed reports that Mrs. Harrington had escaped the building but returned to rescue the children. Maple Valley schools schedule budget hearing, Nov. 10 Seven persons escaped the rath of the blaze which left charred-interiors of the apartment units. . The fire that claimed three lives also did extensive damage to the interior of the building.

On the same day last week, we received in the mail two clippings of a recentlypublished United Press International story about Andler’s enterprise. One of the articles was sent by Mrs. Gerald (Gertrude Powers) Montgomery, local resident now of Boynton Beach, Florida, who spotted the story in the October 20 issue of the Ft. Lauderdale Sun Sentinal. The second clip­ ping came from Nashville native Mrs. Edythe (Hicks) Klinkner of Phoenix, Arizona, who ran across the account in the October 20 issue of her local newspaper, the Phoenix Republic. “We thought you might like this clipping ... to prove the notableness of our gallant little village,” wrote^-Mrs. Montgomery. In her letter from Phoenix, Mrs. Klinkner noted: “Perhaps Mr. Andler would like to know his en­ deavors there were in­ teresting enough to make news in a city this large and 2,000 miles distant.” The unidentified author of the UPI piece wrote that Andler had chucked a 6-year job at GM’s Fisher Body plant in Lansing for a life in the country, turning out “vehicles that will never waste a drop of gas or be accused ofpolluting the air.” The story noted that Andler may be Michigan’s only full­ time buggy builder. He is aided in the family operation by his wife, Roxie, and two sons. The Andlers, who frequently are seen traveling along Nashville street via horse and buggy, were the subject of a 1979 photo­ feature story by the Reminder, parent publication of the Maple Valley News. Mrs. Gunda Pennock of Nashville attended the October 25 wedding of her grandson, David Knowles of Gun Lake, to Tammy Willbur of Augusta. The ceremony at the Gull Lake Bible Church was followed by a reception in the church parlors. Later, David’s parents, Randy and Nancy Knowles hosted an informed gathering at their home at Gun Lake. Others from Nashville attending the wedding were Tim and Alice Boucher and Mrs. Clara Pennock. Five Nashville senior citizens journeyed to Hastings last Wednesday afternoon to join a group at the Hastings Commission on Aging site in a tribute to Merle Cooley of that city, who was one of the leading proponents in getting the COA nutrition program established there. Cooley received seven awards at the event, which was staged as a surprise to him. Various local and state officials, including State Rep. Don Stop at... little Country Corners 119 N.

Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville was a recent guest of her son and daughter-in-law, Glen and Marily Ramsey of Dowling, for a Sunday dinner honoring their son, Mark, who will celebrate his 22nd birthday on October 30. Others present for the event were Richard and Carol Ramsey and children of Battle Creek; Kathy Ramsey and Carol and Brian Jeffers, all of Grand Rapids. Ruth Ann Tyler of Freeport lost an astounding 17 pounds in one week to become the top weekly weight loss winner when God’s No-Munch Bunch met for their weigh-in Monday at the Nashville Baptist Church. That ac­ complishment also made Ruth Ann the top monthly weight loss winner for Oc­ tober. She lost the 17 lbs. during her second week in the program. A Football Fest staged by the Senior High Dept, of the Nashville Baptist Church is set for 1 p.m. Saturday, November 8, at the Fuller St. field. The event will pit Freshmen and Seniors against a team comprised of Sophomores and Juniors. Hot chocolate and dunuts will be served following the game. A family roller-skating outing is planned by the Nashville Baptist Church on Tuesday, November 11, between 6:30 and 9 p.m. at the Adams Roller Rink in Charlotte. The Golden Agers of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet for a noon potluck dinner at the Community House on Friday, November 14. Appreciation for two recent Memories articles By Susan Hinckley came last week in (a letter from Kenneth A. Meade, a former local resident now of Franklin. The story of the early Nashville high school football teams and the ar­ ticle about the old Hosmer country school brought back many memories to Meade. In the fall of 1916, when he was a freshman in high school here, the last Nashville football team played that he recalls for some time. “Glen and Forest Smith, Dale Devine, Robert Townsend and Merle Vance were some of the students who played on that team,” wrote Meade. “World War I took in the USA the next spring and the first three I mentioned became soldiers soon after.” There was no football team at Nashville during the rest of Meade’s high school days (he graduated in 1921) and he said he did not remember when the sport was resumed. Professor H. L. Rockwood was coach of the 1916 football team. (Superintendant of Schools when the war came, he became Battalion Major and Commander of Nashville’s Company No. 6, Michigan State Troops, commonly called the Home Guard.) “Not much money was allocated to athletics in the school budgets of that era,” observed Meade. “I did enjoy watching the game which was new to me, a farm boy.” In the Hosmer school story, Kenneth A. Meade recalled several of the family names: Titmarsh, Bass, Snore, Bachelor and Hosmer. He also remem­ bered the Mater family and offered the following ad­ dition. “You mention the Maters and their sons John and Elmer,” wrote Meade. “They had a brother Stephen who later married my mother’s sister Bertha Robinson. Possibly he could have been in the picture too as he would have been in his teens at the time the photo was taken (in 1887).” Thanks to Mr. Meade for sharing his memories with us. * A recent Sunday dinner guest at the home of Fred and Marguerite Ackett of Nashville was her sister, Mrs. Marian Dean of Charlotte. Mrs. Lucy Gillaspie of Vermontville was honored at the Nashville Steak House last Wednesday with a birthday lunch attended by Naomi Watson of Nashville; Ruth Ann King of Bellevue; Bernice Conklin,.

They remained on the scene about half an hour. About 8 a.m. Monday morning, the local firefighters were summoned to the intersection of Sher­ man and State streets to squelch a car fire. Damage was total to the vehicle, which had flamed after stalling at the intersection. The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, November 5, 1980 — Page 3 Happy Birthday to Mrs. Roy (Nina) Garlinger,, a former local resident nnow living at the Clark Memorial Home in Grand Rapids. Mrs. Garlinger will celebrate her 92nd birthday on Election Day, November 4. She is an avid reader of the Maple Valley News and especially enjoys the Memories articles, for which she has furnished several photos. We hope her Nashville friends will remember Nina with a greeting card. Her address is Clark Memorial Home, 1546 Sherman S.E., Grand Rapids, 49506. Remember, it is your duty and privilege to vote in the General Election today. Polls opened at 7 a.m. and will remain open until 8 o’clock this evening. Due to the lengthy ballot facing Michigan voters, it is suggested that they study the various proposals and candidates before leaving home, record individual decisions on a slip of paper and carry these notations into the voting booth for easy reference. This extra effort will help eliminate a long wait for others in the voting line and also will lessen confusion for the voter once he or she enters the booth.

(Photo supplied) Janice Siple, 18, of Ver­ montville not only entered the Make-lt-Yourself-WithWool-Contest, but used wool from one of her father’s ewes to make part of her outfit. Janice attended the District II Contest earlier this month at Michigan State University. The Make-It-YourselfWith-Wool is a sewing contest for wool garments and is sponsored by the National Wool Growers Association. For the contest, Janice made a Fisherman Style sweater consisting of ribs, honeycombs, giant diamonds, simple cable patterns, and a shawl collar. The sweater is 100 percent wool from her father’s black ewe. Janice pulled aside the fleece at shearing time and headed it in the direction of a hand spinner. The steel grey fibers are its original color. She also made pants of 100 percent red wool. The pants have slim tapered legs with front tucks and mock front fly closing. Contestants in the contest received prizes of 100 per­ cent wool fabric and donations from area mer­ chants. The garments in the contest were judged on the basis of construction, ap­ pearance and fit. Janice, a former Ver­ montville Maple Syrup Festival queen, is studying nursing at Butterworth School of Nursing in Grand Rapids.

The Democrats selected as delegates to their county convention William Martin, Ira Bachelor, George W. Francis, Alex Blair, J. M. Wood and H. A. Dickinson. Chosen as delegates to their county convention by the local GOP were: L. J. Wheeler, James Fleming, John Keagle, J. J. Potter, W. N. Devine, Minor Mead, George Norton, John Keagle, James Gregory and P. E. Miller. By late July, the local Democrats were organizing support for Gen. Winfield Scott Hancock, the former Union army leader who was their party’s presidential choice on a platform of civil service reform and lowered tariffs. Nashville’s Union and Wolcott hotels were rally scenes. “The Democrats met at Union Hall Tuesday evening and formed a Hancock and English club,” noted the News. “Levi Smith was chosen as president, George Francis secretary, and James Fleming, an early Nashville jeweler shown George A.

Wolcott, the Wolcott House on Nashville's Nashvilles South Main became the scene of caucuses and rallies during the 1880 presidential campaign. The Union House (in what is now Central Park) also was a site of political action. The 27-room Wolcott House featured a large dining room, several parlors and one of Nashville s earliest indoor plumbing systems. The building was razed in 1940. gathered for a similar rally to support the GOP national ticket of James Garfield and Chester Arthur, but the event made unexpected headlines. “The Garfield and Arthur club meeting in Union Hall Wednesday night degenerated into a brawl,” observed the News. “But C. H. Brady informed us the trouble was not the fault of any members, having been started by a couple of Ver­ montville toughs.” Not to be outdone by either major party, the Green­ backers also made local news in the 1880 campaign to back candidate James B. Weaver for U. S. President on a platform backing woman sufferage, federal regulation of interstate commerce and a graduated income tax. A Weaver rally by his local supporters made quite a spectacular scene in late September. “A ring used in firing the anvil for the Greenback jollification in front of Wood’s foundry Wednesday evening, burst, spraying fragments about the about vicinity,” noted the local press. “One piece of the flying ring went through the Lee Tuckerman house acorss the street, and one silver struck Tib Springett in the right thigh, inflicting a painful injury. One piece went through Lannis Brady’s coat flap.” Bad vibrations seemed to hound the local Green­ backer’s 1880 campaign, as evidenced by this News report just a month later: “The Greenback Party held a rally and political speech­ making session in the school house Monday night, and left the room so filthy that Prof. Niles next morning felt it his duty to dismiss school for the day, until the place could be thoroughly cleaned.” Meanwhile, General W. L. Stoughton, whom the News descirbed as “a gallant soldier of the Civil War now residing at Sturgis,” came to Nashville in early October to speak at the opera house in support of Republican James Garfield, the “dark horse” candidate of a party badly split over political reform. A distinguished major general of the Civil War and educator - turned - politician, Garfield seemed to strike a balance between the “Stalwart and Half-Breed” factions of the national Republican party. In Nashville, raising political banners was an important early contest in major elections, as each party sought to outdo the other. “Pole-raising is the big order of the day and all parties seem determined to find and raise the tallest pole for their own chosen ban­ ner,” reported the News in mid-October. “On Wed­ nesday our local Democrats brought to the ground a fine hickory pole, more than 100 feet long, and will have their Continued nextpage — After a lively campaign, Nashville voters joined Barry County in giving Republican James A. Garfield a 3-to-1 win over Democrat Winfield Hancock in the 1880 presidential race. How to pay for an exuberant victory party was a major problem for the local GOP. Less than a year later, Garfield lay dead at the hands of an assassin and Nashville and the nation were in a state of shock. Disappointed office seeker Charles Guiteau was hanged for the crime in June 1882. Vxsit the graves and say a prayer for the veterans who have given their utmost - their lives - for their country. Also important is to visit and cheer the disabled veterans lying in our hospitals. Many seldom see a visitor. They need a smiling face - a compassionate holding of the hand.

The night before the 1880 election, Nashville’s Gar­ field and Arthur club gathered, 110-strong, for one last rally. After a torchlit parade, supporters gathered at the local Baptist church to listen to several speakers. The next day victory was their’s, though the tally was slow in being finalized, as evidenced in the local press report on the election. “The county gave Garfield and Arthur a three-to-one majority in the Presidential race,” noted the News, "and early indications are that this pretty well follows the national pattern.” (1980 note: actually, Garfield defeated Hancock by a margin of only 9,464 popular votes but gained a 214-155 decision in the Electoral College.) Final reporting of the national results msut have taken about two days. “After soaking up the good election news from Tuesday night through Thursday, local Republicans finally let their joy overflow Friday night and staged a gala torchlight parade on Main New books at Putnam Library Street,” observed the News. ‘‘There were mottoes, caricatures and tran­ sparencies, many of them truly artful.” A week later, a celebration necessitated another crucial gathering of local Republicans. “A meeting of the Garfield and Arthur club has been called for Monday night at Charles Brady’s office,” informed the News. “There is considerable unfinished business to take care of, consisting largely of unpaid bills connected with the victory parade.” The following books have been placed in the library in memory of Astrid Halvarson.

At a noon stop at the local Council on Aging Nutrition Site, Mrs. Wolpe presented a special slide show for the Nashville senior citizens. The film portrayed the beauty and history of the Capitol building in Washington, D. C., with commentary by Mrs. Wolpe. She regularly conducts personal guided tours of the building for Michigan visitors, especially those from her husband’s congressional district. Mrs. Wolpe said she particularly enjoys being able to give visitors a chance to have more than a glimpse of the Capitol, such as giving her guests an opportunity to walk out onto the floor of the House before sessions begin for'the day. Mrs. Wolpe also enjoys pointing out'various historical features and furnishings in the facility. After her appearance at the local COA site, Mrs. Wolpe, accompaneid by Barry County campaign volunteer Ann Merrill of Hastings, toured Nashville’s business district. Mrs. Wolpe stopped often to introduce herself to passersby. Later, the two visitors enjoyed a conducted tour of Putnam Public Library under the guidance of Jane Shoup, assistant librarian. Mrs. Wolpe and Mrs. Merrill, both antique buffs, expressed delight at the beauty of the local library and the many historical furnishing and artifacts which are exhibited there. Mrs. Wolpe departed Nashville about 3 p.m. for a scheduled visit to Hastings. Mrs. Wolpe chats with Mrs. Reva Schantz of Nashville during a Wednesday campaign tour of Nashville's business district.

Where did the money come from? Our children are without gym, art, and music because there is no money for these classes. When the school board asked for a three-mill increase, it was voted down twice so we figured there would be a cut back in certain areas. But, why a salary hike at this time when money is hard to come by? I think the school board and administrators are greedy and self-centered.

The newly re-elected Third District congressman will receive a special letter of thanks from the Nashville council, village officials decided Thursday. They said Wolpe and his staff were responsible for the recent cutting of governmental red tape which had kept a $3,263,260 federal grant tied up in Chicago at the regional office of the U.S. En­ vironmental Protection Agency. The problem first was brought to the attention of Wolpe while he was cam­ paigning in Nashville on October 23. “I contacted Mr. Wolpe when he was here Thursday morning,” said Village Trustee John Hughes. “Within two days we had an answer (from the EPA).” That agency had been expected since Sept. 9 to make a decision on the Nash­ ville project, which had been stymied by a formal protest filed by Clark Construction Company of Lansing. That firm’s apparent low bid on one stop of the 3-phase sewer project had been disqualified in July due to alleged non-compliance with the Minority Business En­ terprises policy of the EPA. That policy for increased use of racial minority con- sultants, construction contractors, suppliers and manufacturers is applicable to all municipal treatment works grants awarded under the Clean Water Act. In accordance with the policy, the EPA had established a regional goal of 10 to 15 percent of the total dollar amount of all grantee contracts. The MBE goal for the Nashville project was set at 12 percent. Although the policy and cited regulations were contained in bid specifications, several bidders on the Nashville project apparently failed to comply with the MBE bid procedure and were sub­ sequently disqualified. However, Clark was the only bidder to pursue a formal protest of the village decision to the EPA regional level. The EPA verdict took much longer than had been anticipated by Nashville officials, and a 90-day ex­ tension of awarded contract became necessary. Despite prodding by project engineers William and Works, special municipal counsel Richard Wendt of Grand Rapids and Nashville village officials, the EPA review of the case dragged far beyond the expected two weeks. “In essence, the EPA was supposed to be timely in their decision,” noted Bruce Kuffer, regional consultant for Williams and Works. “We had tried all the channels we could (to get a determination from EPA).” Kuffer said it was growing close to two months since the case had been in the EPA’s hands, and still the agency had not made a decision on the Clark protest. Then, Hughes brought the matter to Wolpe’s attention and the problem was resolved within two days. Phone calls from Wolpe’s Kalamazoo office to Chicago had put the wheels in motion. A telegram received by Village Clerk Susan Cork­ well from the EPA advised that after a review of the case, the agency supported the village decision and dismissed the appeal of Clark Construction Com­ pany. Freeing of the federal funds for the Nashville project also paved the way for release last week of a $200,390 grant offer from Michigan’s Dept, of Natural Resources. In addition, a federal Farmers Home Administration grant of $345,000 has been approved. The balance of the project will be paid by a bond issue for an already-approved FHA loan. Altogether, federal and state grants are expected to cover more than 80 percent of the cost of the Nashville project. Building of the new system is expected to start soon. Kuffer called Thursday for a pre-construction meeting December 18 at Williams and Works office in Grand Rapids. Expected to attend the planning and information session are the project Cont. page 8 — Birthday surprises staged for principal Yost "Mr. Michigan By Susan Hinckley Principal Howard Yost admires the colorful birthday banner which greeted him in his office at Kellogg Elementary School in Nashville Friday. The nickname "Mr. Michigan" refers to his loyalty to his alma mater, U. of M. The banner was designed by the school Staff. (Maple Valley News photos by Susan Hinckley) The student body at Kellogg School gathered in the gym Friday to sing their greetings to Principal Howard His 50th birthday last Friday brought many sur­ prises to Howard Yost, principal ofFullerStreet and Kellogg elementary schools in Nashville. To startrthe day off, a huge poster designed by the staff at Kellogg greeted “Mr. Michigan,” a nickname earned by the principal’s staunch loyalty to his alma mater, University of Michigan. During the forenoon, students at Kellogg School gathered in the gymnasium to sing “Happy Birthday” en masse to Yost After lunch, while the principal was in his office at Fuller Street school, he was summoned to the gym there Yost, in recognition of his 50th birthday. It was one of several surprises that day. on the pretext of a disciplinary problem on the playground. The various classes had filed silently into the room just moments before. When Yost entered the gym, he found teacher Dave Doozan “lecturing” the entire student body about the “problem.” At that instant, the youngsters shouted in unison, “Happy Birthday, Mr. Yost,” and the jig was up. Two young lads rushed forward to present their surprised and pleased principal with a yellow and white decorated cake on behalf of the group. Yost then was inundated with scores of homemade greeting cards, fashioned earlier by small but loving hands. Amid the amazement of how the secret had been so well kept and contemplation of the hours he would spend pouring over the greeting cards, Yost heard the children’s chorus of “How Old Are You?” He responded in the manner of a true educator: “I’m 49 plus one.” "Happy Birthday” Mr. Yost! Children rush forward to present their principal with a decorated cake and scores of handmade greet­ ing cards at his surprise birthday party Friday. �Th* Mople Volley New* Noshville, Tvesdoy, Novembe i980 — Poge2 Nashville News Many Castleton Township voters awaited in iong lines to cast ballots in last Tuesday's General Election, as record numbers of Michigan voters flocked to the polls. In Castleton, nearly 1,300 of the township's approximately 1,825 registered voters turned out (This tally includes absentee ballots.) Quite a contrast to the August primary when less than 100 Castleton voters went to the polls. Despite Tuesday's lengthy lines which often stretched to include 30 or more in­ dividuals, the wait was relatively short, probably averaging less than half an hour. This is a credit to the very efficient election of­ ficials who staffed the township polling place, as well as an indication that most voters had wrestled with the complex proposals and multiple candidates to reach a decision prior .to entering the voting booth. The over 70;percent turnout in Castleton topped the state average by several points and exceeded by nearly 20 points the national per­ centage. We understand voter turnout in Maple Grove Township was equally im­ pressive. While voter turnout was on the upswing this year, reports are that local trickor-treater turnout was on the decline this past Halloween. Despite favorable weather and the Friday advantage, most Nashville householders say they had less goblins call this year than in 1979. Mrs. Lonny Kienutske who kept count of the trick-or-treaters calling at her home on Washington Street reports 291. She had 308 last year. Dramatic decreases in the number of callers were noted along Reed and Main Street this year, with activity tapering off about 8 p.m. Maple Valley’s home foot­ ball game may have kept some of the older children occupied during peak trickor-treat hours. No serious Halloween destruction was reported this year. Even the traditional Main Street window soaping seemed to be on the decline. There were a few instances of thrown eggs on sidewalks and buildings and the usual smashed pumpkin debris on the streets. The Nashville Fife Dept, was on standby duty in case of prankster fires.

Proper turkey preparation could save your holiday meal Some people think the turkey, not the eagle, is our national bird. Both are symbols of this country, but they represent different ideas. For example, you’d never find an eagle lying in a sea of giblet gravy, surrounded by mashed potatoes and candied yams. That’s the turkey’s job. The eagle has loftier things to do. You who cook the Thanksgiving turkey have a job to do, too. First and foremost, be sure it’s fit to eat. Although instructions are printed clearly on frozen turkeys, ignoring them can .wreak havoc on the festive spirit. A few turkey tips are easy to follow. If your turkey is frozen, keep it in the original wrapper and allow two days for thawing birds weighing 18 pounds or less. Add another day for heavier birds. Thaw them in the refrigerator, never at room temperature. If time is limited, you can thaw the bird partially in the refrigerator, and finish the thawing by placing the turkey under cold, not warm, running water. Cook the turkey within 24 hours of thawing it. If you don’t plan to cook it im­ mediately, cover it loosely with waxed paper and place it in the refrigerator, but never refreeze it. Clean the turkey by washing it thoroughly inside and out with cold, running water, drain it, and do the same thing with the giblets. As you’re cleaning it, be aware of stickiness in three places: under the wings, at a point where the legs and body join, and on the upper surface of the tail. That means the turkey is beginning to spoil. If the wing tips are turning a darker color and if there is a bad odor, throw it away. Don’t risk food poisoning on the day you count your blessings. When in doubt, throw it out! When the bird is cooked, keep it hot or in the refrigerator. Never let it stand out for serving or nibbling for more than two hours. When dinner is finished, cover it with waxed paper and put it in the (Delivered and Spread) • Drainage Ditches • Farm Ponds DARRELL HAMILTON tatpll RL 3, NASHVILLE ■ » REV.

Soon, many Nashville area Nimrods would be making their annual trek north in search of deer. Most would travel to Michigan’s upper reaches by train, and ship their trophies home via rail. The practice continued to be popular well into the 20th century. “Nashville hunters are returning home,” advised the News in late November 1926, “and there is scarcely a morning but what a deer arrives at the express office. About the biggest and finest yet was a huge 12-point buck that came Tuesday morning, belonging to Mr. Housler.” Colorful tales of yearly hunting expeditions filled November pages of the Nashville News, almost from its inception in 1873. “Theodore C. Downing writes from the north that he and the other five hunters in his party are camped 20 miles from Roscommon,” noted the News in early November 1877. “They already have killed nine deer, a bear and a cub. Theo, had the honor of killing the bear, but not until it had fatally injured his hunting dog and very nearly reached the hunter.” Some game generally was consumed in camp, but the majority of it was sent home. And once in a while, the return brought a real sur­ prise. “The Nashville hunting party returned Saturday from the north, having ac- Gail Lykins, right, and his twin sons Sherman and Charles were among those listed in a 1939 Nashville News report of local hunters who had gone north for deer. Expeditions of Nashville sportsmen filled November pages of the local press for more than three-quarters of a century. The Lykins boys began hunting with their father at age 14.

George and Homer Ayers saw one last week on the Daniel Jackson farm in Maple Grove.” The success or failure of the local sportsmen’s seasonal expedition was meticulously noted in the News, particulary the group of prominent citizens who comprised Nashville’s “hunting party.” In 1900, for example, this group brought 16 deer back to Nashville. Of those, ac­ cording to the News account, “Joe C. Baker shot five; Charles M. Putnam, three; Henry Roe, three; Harrison Freemire, two; and Charles J. Scheidt, one.” The hunting party often provided adventurous tales for Nashville readers, such as a 1903 trip to Shingleton in which they brought home 11 deer. “During their second week (in camp) one of the party, Rant Mayo, became lost about 12 miles west of Munising,” reported the News. “He finally reached another camp, where he stayed two days,' during which his companions had about given him up for dead.” Upon occasion, however, the local Nimrods preferred to keep silent about their exploits. “The Nashville hunting party returned Tuesday from their annual invasion of the wilds of the Upper Peninsula,” observed the News in late November 1907. “The members of the party are not telling anything about it, but it is said authoritatively that they failed to bring down a single deer.” By the~mid-1920’s, stories of local deer hunters in the north woods still were of interest to readers back home. “Cards from the Bera hunting party report 16 in­ ches of snow in the Upper Peninsula,” noted the News in mid-November 1929. “They had to leave their truck at Kenton and haul their supplies the rest of the way on sleighs.” With the advent of the auto, more and more Nash­ ville people traveled north for the hunt. And the number of trophies increased. In mid-December 1928, the News noted that the Con­ servation Department reported 5,255 deer had been brought across the Straits Nashville's railroad station was a lively place in deer hunting season, as the sportsmen invaded Michigan's wilds by train and shipped their trophies home byt rail. In a successful season, scarcely a day went by but what a carcass arrived at the Michigan Central express office (at right) to be claimed by a returning hunter. Some game usually was consumed in camp. Charles J. Scheidt (left), Henry Roe and Charles Putnam were members of Nashville's "hunting party," a group of 19th cdntury Nimrods who traveled north each November in search of deer, since the animals were a local rarity then. In fact, a live fawn brought home by Scheidt in 1898 attracted considerable interest in the village. “Lynn Lorbeck apparently often were displayed in front that year, representing of his Main Street store (now has the honor of bringing roughly one-half the kill Nashville Auto & Farm home the first deer for this throughout the state.

First a whisper, then a roar, like awesome thunder rolled. Breaking through the hardened crust, erupting forceful power, Crushing, crashing to be heard now that it found its hour. Shouting out for values lost, One nation under God. Led frantic search by human thirst * for something much more mod. It spoke of children’s blood, unborn, , of women just like men. Of drugs, of alcohol and sex of being robbed, again. Gone the roots of family, chaos in our schools. Once proud and envied world around now looked upon as fools. Loud and clear the message came, frustration at its core, Chanting, ringing, crying out, “No more, no more, no more!” Rev.

The number of full time equated classroom teachers was ninety-six (96) during the 1979-80 school year. The ratio of pupils to certified employees holding valid Michigan teacher certificates was 18.5 to 1. Certified employees includes school administrators. • There were thirty-nine separate accounts held in i the trust and agency fund at the close of the school year amounting to $31,711.68. General receipts during the year amounted to $89,451.37 compared with expenditures of $81,360.51. The financial information is taken from'the school annual financial report and audit report filed with the State Department of Education. Copies of the annual report and school audit are available at the school administration building if anyone wishes to see one. The school district qnded the school year June 30, 1980 with a cash balance of $193,218 compared with $417,922 as of June 30, 1979. This balance includes the petty cash fund. During the past school year the amount of taxes receivable decreased from $4,494 to $899. General indications are that the cash balance will be reduced even more during the 1980-81 school year considering the lower percentage anticipated increase in state aid support as related to increased expenditures. It will be necessary to have a close review of the financial condition of the school district in the spring when making plans for the coming school year.

(Il­ li) TAX PROPOSALS DOWN - All three property tax relief proposals were defeated by voters in last week’s election by about a three to two margin. But tens of thousands of people did vote for the plans, and legislators will continue to look for ways to alleviate what many state citizens regard as the unfairness of the present property tax structure during the 1981-82 session. REPUBLICANS GAIN - State House Republicans will have six more members in the 1981-82 session, thanks to victories over six Democratic incumbents last week. The Democrats still hold the majority in the House, 64-46, but Republican impact on legislation should be increased as a result of additional members. STOP POACHING - The DNR will use the new 25-cent hike in hunting and fishing licenses and stamps to fund a threeyear program to stop poaching of fish and game. If you see or hear of anyone poaching animals, fish or birds, please call the toll free number 1-800-292-7800. TAX DEBATE - The Legislature is getting down to the business of finalizing a budget for the 1980-81 fiscal year. Some Democrats have talked about increasing taxes to make up for shortfalls in revenues, but Republicans will not go along with the plan. The taxes being discussed are the income tax and the cigarette tax. LOWER REVENUES State revenue for work on Michigan’s highways, county roads and municipal streets fell by 11 percent in the third quarter of the year compared with the same period in 1979. Gas and weight tax proceeds for public transportation and railroad preservation programs also decreased. The declines were the sharpest in a single quarter since the outbreak of World War II. MORE JOBS - Handicappers are finding job opportunities in state government that never existed before, thanks to a new policy which identifies protected groups such as women and minorities for equal employment opportunity purposes. More than 2,000 handicappers have competed for state jobs and 300 handicappers are now working for the state. �The Maple Volley K»«i Nathalie Tveedoy November 11. 1980 — Poge 6 Republicans returned to local twp. offices By Suian Hinckley Both Castleton and Maple Grove township voters returned all Republican slates to local offices in last Tuesday 's General Election No Democrats were filed for the township posts Re­ elected in Castleton were incumbents Justin Cooley, supervisor. Geneva Brumm, treasurer; and trustees Donald Pixley and Nelson Rasey A new face on the Castleton Township Board will be Sharon Bishop. She was elected to the seat now held by Clerk Geraldine Long, who did not seek re­ election. In Maple Grove Township, voters returned to office incumbents Theodore McKelvey, supervisor; Joyce Starring, treasurer; and Duane Hamilton, trustee Newcomers elected to the board were Trustee Monte Allen and Clerk Dora Chase. They will replace Richard Bassett and Mary Jarrard, respectively, current officeholders who did not seek re-election. All newly-elected posts in both townships are for 4-years, a change from the present 2­ year terms. At the county level, Castleton and Maple Grove voters supported all in­ cumbent Republican can­ didates who were unopposed They also re-elected Barry County Commissioner Alber Bell (R), who out-polled his Democratic challenger, William Schantz. In other election activity, local voters on November 4 generally followed the Republican swing of the state and nation. In three contested races of major interest, local voters chose winners. Both precincts went for Ronald Reagan for president; supported Republican incumbent Judy Hughes for Barry Country Prosecutor; and helped return Don Gilmer (RAugusta) to the State house as 55th District Represen- Nashville VFW 8260 ami AUXILIARY Fish Fry FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14 SERVING 5:30 P.M. to 7:30 P.M.

However, in another lively contest local voters failed to back Democrat Howard Wolpe, who successfully defended his U.S House seat, Third Congressional District, earning another 2­ year term. Both Castleton and Maple Grove voters went for his opponent, Kalamazoo businessman James Gilmore. He carried Eaton County widely, Barry County narrowly, but lost the district. On Michigan’s seven ballot proposals, Castleton voters said “no” to all. Maple Grove voters, however, said “yes” to the Tisch Tax Plan but rejected the others: Smith-Bullard Tax Plan; lowering the drinking age; Coalition Tax Plan; prison funding, legislative im­ munity and Lieutenant Governor provision. All seven proposals failed statewide. Vermontville man receives two highest Lion Club district governor awards— There's still time to give to UNICEF!

Main Street — NASHVILLE — OPEN SEVEN DAYS A WEEK �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday.

Five tons per acre of alfalfa harvested by early flower producer 2.5 to 3 times the amount of these amino acids as 30 bushels of soybeans. For this reason livestock farmers will do well to organize and apply “production a package'* to produce top yields of high quality alfalfa on their farm. By John Baer, Extension Ag. Agent Increasing land values, rising production costs and the recent extremely high costs of protein concentrates for livestock have caused farmers to refocus attention on the value of high-yielding, quality alfalfa. Feed costs for dairy and beef animals make up 50 to 80 percent of the total en­ terprise costs. As farmers seek higher production, protein requirements will go up. With the increasing value for seed oil meals and the increasing use of soybeans High Yielding Varieties The development of winterhardy and wilt has for human consumption, resistant alfalfas farmers will have to rely provided varieties that more and more on high withstand the severe winters quality forage protein to and will permit longer stand meet the needs of animals. life when properly managed.

They can be cut more frequently, giving higher yields. The use of winterhardy, wilt resistant varieties has increased per acre protein yields by at least 23 to 45 percent. Cut Early for High Quality The most important factor determining quality in alfalfa is the stage of growth at time of harvest Earlier and more frequent cutting has accounted for about 40 percent of the increase in protein yield. Young, im­ mature plants are high in energy, high in protein and low in fiber. The yield of protein, essential amino acids, and energy per acre is greatest when harvested by the first flower (1-10 bloom) stage of maturity. Concentration of each nutrient important in animal nutrition decreases with maturity. The concentration of digestible dry matter (IVDDM), CP, amino acids, carotne and minerals decrease, while fiber in­ creases. However, mineral composition may not be of great importance where minerals are fed free choice. Total nonstructural car­ bohydrates, which are highly digestible, and important in silage-making, decrease to early bloom. Protein N is the largest N component in alfalfa, making up over three-quarters of the total N. Nitrate N is highest at pre­ bud, but is not found at toxic levels. Alfalfa varieties that are susceptible to leaf diseases lose high amounts of protein after early bloom because greater leaf loss occurs than with varieties that have leaf disease resistance. Leaves contain about 4 times the concentration of protein as stems. Harvesting 3 times an­ nually at early bloom rather than 2 times at full bloom will increase the yield per acre of protein by 45 to 60 percent, TDN or energy by 30 to 40 percent, and dry forage by 15 to 25 percent. Cutting 3 times at first flower rather than 3 times by date, give an additional 5 percent increase in crude protein and 3 percent in­ crease in TDN. Delaying cutting until full­ bloom will cost $60 to $65 per acre in lost nutrients. The Get ready for Winter with. NCO Winter Blades Save $1.00 per pair with this ad.

Main, Nashville additional crude protein harvested by cutting 3 times rather than 2 will return the farmer more than $6 for each dollar invested in operating costs and labor to make the additional harvest, based on soybean oil meal prices at $100 per ton. However, the costs for delaying cutting are 2.5 times greater at present SBOM cost. In addition, the added energy which is harvested returns $4 for each dollar invested in making the extra cutting. Approximately 40 days are needed between cutting to obtain top yield and main­ tain stand life. Furthermore, cows con­ sume much larger quantities of early-cut forage than latecut forage, resulting in greater production of livestock products and higher rates of gain. This fact has been demonstrated in countless research studies. The best time to harvest is when both yield and quality are high. Animal intake also will be high. share your production and profits with you. Remember they take their share first, unless you control them. Insects decrease yields by sucking plant juices, by stunting growth or eating leaves, which reduced the photosynthetic capacity. They consume the youngest and most actively growing leaves first, and then con­ tinue to older leaves. Because the insects attack the leaves, they reduce the amount of feed nutrients harvested more than they do hay yields. Spray immediately after harvesting the first cutting in late May. It may be necessary to spray at mid­ May if the first harvest is delayed to June. Harvesting and Storing To Preserve Quality management to retain full, vigorous stands of alfalfa. It is important to let alfalfa grow during the early fall period from the first or middle of September to late October, if top production of protein is to be maintained. By not cutting or grazing during this period, the alfalfa is permitted to build up sufficient food reserves which keeps plants alive during the winter and assures vigorous growth the next spring. In some seasons a very late autumn cutting of alfalfa may be worth taking on well-drained, wellfertilized stands containing a winter-hardy, wilt resistant variety. It will add to yields, but leave adequate stubble. Alfalfa is a major crop grown in nearly 27 million acres in the U.S. Starting from low average yields of hay, research has indicated that per acre yields of protein and energy can be increased 2 to 4 fold when a package of production practices are supplied. The added protein produced will return $2 to $4 for each $1 spent, and the extra energy is a bonus. You will just break even with an average crop, but a well-managed crop produces top profits. Can you afford not to produce and harvest high quality alfalfa on your farm? Unfavorable weather can result in excessive losses of both dry matter and feed quality.

Agent high-moisture corn either as ground ear corn stored in conventional silos or highmoisture shelled corn stored in sealed silos. Ideal kernel moisture is 28 to 32 percent with 20 to 40 percent being the outer limits. Shelled grain can be combined when the moisture goes below 30 percent. However, it will be im­ possible to get a high-quality trash-free grain. Immature corn killed by frost has a soft, spongy cob in which the kernels are deeply rooted. Corn in this condition will pass through a combine easily ... many kernels will be damaged and the cobs will be broken into small pieces that stay with the grain. To minimize these problems, the following combine adjustments are suggested: •Make sure the straw rack, sieve and fan are running at the proper speed. •Snapper plates should be opened as far as possible without causing excessive ear damage. •Sieve setting normally should be opened 0.5 to 0.63 inches. It means small pieces of cob also will enter Your corn is physically mature when it reaches a kernel moisture of ap­ proximately 35 percent and you notice a darken kerne} tip where the kernel attaches to the cob. As you know, corn planted in July runs the risk of being frosted before it reaches the stage I mentioned above. The question is, if I have some of this corn, what do I do with it. Corn that has reached maturity dries down at about percent of moisture per day. This corn could be cribbed as soon as the moisture levels fall beneath 35 percent if your crib can provide artificial aeration. However, if you are using narrow row cribs and natural ventilation, it is wise to wait uh til your corn falls beneath the 30 percent moisture. Com that is stored in this form over 30 percent moisture will in all probability mold when temperatures are warm and the air moist. Do not attempt to store this corn on barn floors, wagons, etc. Corn can be harvested for News deadline changed Jr* ^E&r A new deadline is now in effect for submitting news copy to the Maple Valley News.

Be sure cylinder-concave adjustments are set properly. Always read and follow the manual. If frost-damaged im­ mature grain is combined, there are three options for handling it. The first is to dry the grain artificially and store it. To prevent scor­ ching, limit the dryer temperature to less than 160 degrees, expect the kernels to shrink greatly during drying. Dried soft corn stores poorly regardless of how it is harvested and conditioned, so don’t attempt to store it past the first winter. A second method is to store the crop as high-moisture grain in an airfight silo. The third is to treat it with acid preservatives. Because soft corn has such a low test weight, more damaged kernels, and may be moldy or even sprouted, it is better to feed it than try to market it. High-moisture storage is particularly suited for this. Experiments have shown that soft corn obtained after kernels have reached early dough stage has the same feeding value as hard corn when figured on a dry matter basis. However, on a volume basis, it is necessary to feed more soft corn because of its lighter weight. Grain from corn in the early milk stage is lower in nutrients and digestible energy and should be fed only with sup­ plemental grain. Usually, small amounts of mold on immature corn create no feeding problems with cattle but can be deadly if fed to hogs. Food supplement program for mothers What is W.I.C?.

All of these factors combine to make round steak a fairly popular cut, which also means it’s relatively high priced. When you know more about the cut and how to use it in different ways, you can get more for the money and lower the cost per meal. Round steak is sold either as a full round steak or cut into its different parts. There are three distinct parts to every round steak... top round, bottom round and eye-of-the-round. These parts differ in tenderness, because they contain dif­ ferent muscles, and are priced accordingly when sold separately. The most tender section is the top round section, easily identified because it is the largest section of the full Consumers, faced with higher meat prices and general inflation, appear to be more interested than ever in getting the most for their meat money, according to a recent survey of Kalamazoo district consumers. One way to accomplish this is to really get to know the individual meat cuts, the costs, and the options provided, suggests Maryann Beckman, Food Marketing Agent for the Extension Service. One cut to consider is round steak. It has very little waste, plenty of lean meat and can be prepared in a variety ofways. Round steak has the lowest percentage of fat of all the beef steaks. Though it’s considered a less-tender cut from the round section of the beef carcass, tenderness of its THANKS to the voters of...

If it is of USDA Choice grade, top round can be broiled on the grill or pan­ broiled like more expensive steaks. Braise if of lower grades. For greatest tenderness, broil only to the medium-rare or medium stage. The bottom round section is the least tender section and must be cooked with moist heat. The bottom round is the second largest section and is the part closest to the bone. It’s also often sold with the eye-ofthe-round attached. Bottom round can be used for Swissing, with moist heat cookery, or can be cut into cubes or slices for stews extended with potatoes, onions, carrots or braised and combined, with noodles for a beef and noodle casserole, etc. If very thinly sliced, it can be successfully used for quick cooking stir1 fry dishes, too. The eye-of-the-round section is the smallest section of the round steak and circular in shape. Though it’s not quite as tender as the top round, it can also be broiled or pan­ broiled if no thicker than %ths of an'inch and if it’s USDA Choice grade. When sold separately, it’s usually the most expensive of the round steak sections. Current average prices will show the comparisons more vividly. The average price of the full round steak -right now is about $2.79 a pound. Bottom round averages $2.99 a pound or 20 cents more per pound than the full round. Top round is next on the price scale at a $3.09 average price per pound. The most expensive eye-of-the-round section ranges from about $3.19 to $3.99 a pound, or 40 cents to $1.20 more than the full round, depending on the store. To save money on round steaks, it’s then obvious that the lowest cost choice would be the full round steak. If you think you can’t use that much round steak for a meal for your family, buy it anyway and then cut it yourself into the three dif­ ferent sections for three different meals. A two pound round .steak would provide ample meat for two people for the three different meals, if you extend the meat with other foods that are lower in cost.

If growers continue to feed moldy corn, hogs will lose weight and breeding gilts may abort,” says John Baer, Eaton Agricultural Agent. Producers should test their new corn by feeding it to growing-finishing pigs and observing whether they eat or refuse it. If they sort through and leave some of it, producers may want to send a sample of their corn to the MSU Plant Disease Diagnostic Laboratory or the Michigan Department of Agriculture for mold analysis. Growers suspec­ ting a mold problem can contact this office for further information. Pigs cannot be tricked into eating moldy corn. Flavor additives, mold inhibitors and preservatives are all ineffective in preventing the mold or in disguising its bad taste., Though ensiling will kill the mold, it -will not destroy the toxins produced and make it a safe feed for hogs. The only way to feed moldy corn safely is to dilute it with good corn. The level of mold • will dictate the proportions of good corn to moldy feed necessary to make the feed acceptable.

First, clean and dress the fish. Then freeze it whole or cut into serving-sized pieces and package it into quan­ tities your family can eat in one meal. To help preserve quality during freezer storage, dip lean fish in a quart of very cold — almost frozen — water to which */2 cup salt has been added. Place fat fish — salmon, lake trout, and whitefish — in a solution made of 2 tablespoons ascorbic acid powder per quart of very cold water for one minute, drain, and dip again. Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) helps keep the fat from becoming rancid. It is sold in drug stores. To prevent dehydration and to lock in fresh flavor, wrap fish in airtight, vapor­ proof packaging materials. Heavy aluminum foil, cling freezer wraps, thick plastic freezer bags and freezer boxes are good storage containers. For best quality, store fish at 0 degrees F and use fat fish within three months and lean fish within six months. Fat fish can, however, be kept frozen for nine months and lean fish for one year.

(Maple Valley News photo by Susan Hinckley) The Maple Valley Athletic Boosters made a $3,521.78 contribution Wednesday to the local school athletic program.

Making the presentation was Cherie Everett, MVAB treasurer. The donation represents monies raised by the Boosters to reinstate the school’s 1980-8,1 athletic programs, which were trimmed in budget cuts following voter rejection of a 3-mill operational increase. Organizing in September, the MVAB vowes to raise $8,700 to keep the 1980-81 sports program intact.

Accompanying Dr. Sutherland to Vermontville Thursday was Larry Flies, a regional consultant with Williams & Works. The film centers on a similar wastewater project completed at Houghton Lake in 1978 after several years of research. When that lake, Michigan’s largest inland body of water, was threatened with sewerage pollution back in the late 1960’s, studies began on using natural wetland areas as a final disposal site of secondarily-treated effluent. ‘Scientists carefully monitored a test area for adverse effects on wildlife and vegetation.

The meeting is set for 7:00 p.m. November 25 at the Community Center in Putnam Park. Condolences are extended to the family of Lowell O. Halliwill of Nashville, who passed away Sunday, November 9. He was born in Minnesota and came to the Vermontville area in 1931. The family moved to Nash­ ville in 1971. He was a retired sexton at Woodlawn Cemetery, Vermontville, and previously worked at the Citizen’s Elevator there. Mr. Halliwill is survived by his wife, Marlys, eight children and 14 grandchildren. Services were held last Wednesday at Vogt’s Funeral Home. All present business people,’ as well as prospective new Nashville merchants and the general public, are urged to attend. Representatives of Gove are expected to review their progress to date on the plan and outline the next phase to be undertaken by the engineering firm. The company was awarded a $7,500 contract earlier this year to design a master plan for downtown Nashville. The funding came as part of a $405,000 Community Block Grant for the greater Nashville area from the U.S. Dept, of , Housing and Urban Development. The Gove assignment was one of various projects designated under the grant allocated to the village of Nashville and townships of Castleton and Maple Grove over the next two years. Several earlier meetings have provided local input sought by Gove Associates, and in April a committee of five local businessmen were appointed to act as a liason between the community and the Kalamazoo firm during the design project. Also in April, boundaries for the project were set. The district is bordered by the Thornapple River on the north, the railroad tracks on the south, Water Alley on the west, and Pine Alley (behind Central Park) on the east. The district also en­ compasses Nashville's municipal parking lot, west of Main Street. The contract With Gove covers only development of a master plan. Im­ plementation of any recommendations will rest with the individual property owners and merchants. Gove has indicated, •however, that they expect to be able to steer local businessmen to available funding and low-cost loans.

November 18. 1980 — Page 6 It's time to wind up another season for your lawn and garden As another calendar year winds down, it's time to think about winding up another gardening season To help you get ready for winter. Michigan State University Extension specialists offer the following list of timely act ivilies: -Rough plow or spade l he garden plot, adding organic material, fertilizer and lime as indicated by a soil lest. Now is a good lime to have your soil tested — fall is generally a slack time for soil lest labs. The county Extension office can tell you how to take your soil sample and will send it in when you bring it to the office. There is a $4 charge per sample. -To reduce the carryover of insect and disease problems — particularly apple maggot and scab in apples and black spot in roses — rake up and destroy fallen fruits, leaves and other plant debris from fruit plantings, vegetable gardens and flower beds. -Rake leaves from the lawn about once a week to keep them from matting on the grass and smothering the grass plants. Rather than burn or bag and throw away the leaves, chop them and add them to the compost pile or till them into the garden. Chopping helps them decompose more quickly. -After mowing your lawn for the last time (to a height of 1 to 14 inches), winterize your mower or take it to the shop for cleaning and a tuneup. Beat the spring rush — do it now! -Fertilize your lawn before the first snow. Apply 1 Io 14 pounds of actual nitrogen per 1000 square feet of bluegrass lawn. Apply :,i to 1 pound of nitrogen per 1000 square feel of fescue lawn. Late fall fertilization provides for root growth now and early green-up in the spring. It lessens the chance that Frusariuni blight will develop in susceptible bluegrass varieties, in­ cluding Merion. Nugget. Windsor, Pennstar and Fylking. The flush of top growth that follows fer­ tilizing the lawn in March or April tends to be at (he expense of root development and increases I he chances that Fusarium will occur later. -Prune diseased, broken or dead branches from shrubs and trees. Avoid faking healthy portions off of spring-flowering shrubs. They have already formed the buds for next spring’s flowers. Prune now and remove them. --Transplant dormant frees and shrubs. Mulch plants to be dug and moved later, to keep the ground from freezing. Mulch planting sites, too. -If a living Christmas tree is in your plans, mulch the spot where you intend to plant it. Be sure to choose a spot that will give the tree plenty of room to grow to its mature size. --Pick bagworm cases from evergreens. These contain the eggs for next year’s pests. --Send evergreens into winter well watered. They’ll lose moisture from their foliage all winter and, once the ground is frozen, won’t be able Io replace it readily. Broadleaved and tender narrowleaved evergreens may need to be shaded with burlap or canvas on the south and southwest sides of the plants to reduce moisture loss and damage to foilage. -Prevent bark splitting in young, thin-barked, newly transplanted trees by wrapping the trunks with tree wrap, painting them with white latex paint (not oil-based paint) or shading the trunks. Bark splitting occurs when the bright winter sun heats one side of the trunk while the other remains cold. -Protect fruit trees and woody ornamentals against gnawing rodents by wrap­ ping the trunks with foil or surrounding (hem with cylinders of quarter-inch mesh hardware cloth. Be sure the barriers reach well above the usual snow level. —Canvas or (ar-backed burlap barriers can be used to protect roadside plants against salt spray from street and highway deicing salt. Tack the material to stakes on the street side of the plants. -Boxwood and yew may need support to keep them from breaking under heavy .snow loads. Wrap and tie them with burlap and twine or support t hem with chicken wire. -Propagate evergreen shrubs after several hard freezes. Start by taking cuttings 6 Io 8 inches long. Strip the foliage from the bottom two inches and dip the cut ends in a rooting hormone. Stick the cuttings into damp sand or a peat­ sand mixture and keep the Hunter’s SFfcUAlS Butternut - Blue Seal A/$1 00 Bread Hostess Multi-Pac Chocolate Cup Cakes $*|15 X N.t N.tuot. /2 Liter 8 pk. btl. *(KP JI 16.9 oz. 9 P /us . deposit Rse&*’;59 ECKRICH- Smok-y-links $129 We have hunting licenses, ammo, hats and vests.

Place them in your brightest window or provide artificial light, either as a supplement Io natural light or as the sole source of illumination. -Get the family car ready for winter driving.

Make sure your windshield washer is filled with washer solvent that won’t freeze. Have your engine tuned up and keep your gas tank full.

The approved budget includes anticipated revenue of $2,941,491 and anticipated expenditures of $3,118,270. This anticipated deficit will nearly eliminate the general fund cash balance which was $193,218 on June 30th. A state aid bill hasn't been approved at this time, and the school district will be receiving further reductions in state aid funds considering the action being taken at the state level to reduce the budget. Projected local revenue would include $1,027,816 in property taxes including both current and delinquent taxes. In-coming transfer from the intermediate school district would include $73,094 as reimbursement for the special education programs and mileage expenses for the vocational bus to Lansing. The intermediate school district payment for special education represents a twenty-five percent reim­ bursement for the cost of the various programs for the prior school year. Total projected state revenue would amount to CARD OF THANKS I want to thank everyone who phoned, sent cards and flowers, and came to see me at the hospital and at home. The nurses, aides, and everyone on 3rd West at Pennock were so great as were my doctors, Atkinson and Brown.. A special thanks to my family* for all they did. Louise Shipman $1,665,932 which include's $1,426,626 in basic mem­ bership state aid. Basic anticipated membership state aid is $92,087 less than last year which results from the enrollment decrease of sixty-seven students. This amount could still vary considering that a state aid bill hasn’t been approved, but improvement in the basic formula isn’t en­ couraging. Anticipated reimbursement for tran­ sportation is $157,700, $43,945 for special education, $12,750 covering students under court jurisdiction, driver education program $5,400, vocational educational education programs $18,650, $861 for professional development program. Revenues from federal sources would include $29,625 from the CETA program, Title I reading program anticipated income of $57,099 and career education funds of $600. The anticipated general fund expenditures include the following accounts: Elementary Instruction, $721,078; Jr.-Sr. High School Instruction, $770,989; Special Education added costs, $134,680; Speech Therapist L.

A discussion was held regarding continuation of the building trades program during the 1981-82 school year considering that the school district hasn't sold the house built last year plus the fact that another house is being constructed.

This matter was referred to the board policy committee for further study and a report will be given at the next regular meeting. A volunteer help policy was approved. Board member Fred Corkins was absent from the meeting. Modern research indicates that most mental and attitude changes seen in ’old' people are not biological effects of aging. They are the result of social pressures. The elderly should resist the stereotype of being mentally and physically infirm, slow on the uptake, and rigid in their ways. With good nutrition and physical activity, living fully can continue.

Marjory Blinn, a weaver from Greenville, showed techniques of weaving on a loom. Cindy Neal, who manages a stained glass studio in the Alma area, demonstrated stained glass etching. During the “hands on” sessions, the students gained experience in centering clay on the potter’s wheel (which is no easy task for the beginner). The stained glass workshop dealt with etching a design on glass and students learned the technique of soldering lead. Sign lettering proved to be an exciting and informative demonstration. The demonstrating artist brought in a car door and used a stencil to paint it. Students were introduced to new materials and the proper use and care of tools. The success of this workshop could easily be measured by the enthusiasm shown by all who were in­ volved. Students took home some beautiful works of art and — most importantly — new ideas to share with students in their art classes. Action-Ads FOR SALE: Case tractor with manure loader.

(tfn) A weekly report from - ERNEST NASH State Representative DANGEROUS DRIVING - Michigan drivers are entering the peak season for deer-car accidents and the number of accidents is soaring each year. In 1979, the 16,148 deer-car accidents left three people dead, 870 injured and cost $19.2 million in damage. They took a toll on the deer, too. Some 99 percent of the deer involved were killed. Precautions? Stay alert and remember, deer travel in small groups. HUNTING SEASON - About 750,000 hunters will go afield this fall to bag 110,000 to 150,000 of Michigan’s herd of a million white-tail deer. The hunters will leave behind an average of $200 to $300 each in purchases of gas, groceries, taxes on private hunting lands, license, guns, ammunition and dozens of other items. LAKE AUTHORITY - The Michigan Department of Transportation wants a Lake Michigan Transportation Authority established to oversee future water tansportation on the lake and put new life into the industry, rather than short-term subsidies for cross-lake carferry service. It’s up to the Legislature now. BUDGET WOES - Lame duck legislators face more severe budget cuts in order to balance the 1981 budget by January 1. The Governor has recommended additional budget cuts of $288 million, bringing the total ot $1 billion, insisting that a hike in taxes is unwise. The new round of cuts will result in the lay-offs of 1,000 more state employees. Hard hit are education, mental health, and state police under the Governor’s latest plan. JOBS PROGRAM - Michigan, in the worst economic slump in 40 years, has launched a $75 million job and training program aimed at getting 36,000 people back to work and reducing the welfare caseload demands. The U.S. Department of Labor awarded a $10 million grant to sup­ plement the program and target some 6,000 general assistance recipients in counties most in need of help. TAX RELIEF - Michigan voter’s refusal to approve any of the three property tax relief proposals earlier this month is an indication that they are holding out for a responsible cut. Look for the Siljander plan, which did not make it on the ballot this time due to insufficient petition signatures, to be resurrected. Overall, it would provide a $500,000 cut for Michigan taxpayers. PRISON OVERCROWDING - Legislation that would give the Governor emergency powers to deal with prison over­ crowding at any of Michigan’s 12 correctional facilities will be debated in the House Corrections Committee this week. Presently, our prisons are housing 13,114 prisoners even though they were designed for only 11,738, The problem is so serious that many prisoners — more than 1,200 — are sleeping in trailers and garages.

Dec. 4 Valley girls lose two I'M Jpi© sMlatteS The girls varsity basketball team lost their final two games of 'the regular season last week. Both were league contests. Tuesday’s, contest against Central Montcalm was parents’ night. Our girls lost the game at the free-throw line, hitting only 5 of 24j.from the charity stripe. Though each team had the lead in the first quarter, the Lions dominated the second period having as much as a 10 point lead. But it didn’t take the tall Central team long to catch qp and take the lead, 24-23, latte with 4:29' left to play in the third quarter. The lead see­ sawed between the two rivals until/ Central finally controlled the score at the end of, the third quarter. The Hornets managed to keep just ahead of the Lions by taking advantage of their free throws. The final score was Central 46, Valley 43. The Lion squad traveled to Portland Thursday for a hard-fought contest which they lost 49-38. Valley had to manage without the services of Diane Cook who had injured her knee in Tuesday’s game. Portland played a very aggressive game, which gave them a big lead in the first quarter. The Raiders,continued to build the lead in the second quarter. The Lions were able to threaten briefly in the third quarter but their rally fell short. The reason for falling short was Portland out rebounded the Lions 42-14. Scoring for Valley were Melissa Coffman, 10; Kris Sample and Melanie Rogers,8. Also, Candace Mater and Paula. Service each added 6.

The objective of the bowla-thon is to raise badly heeded money for research for cystic fibrosis, a lungdamdging disease: Cystic fibrosis, the most serious of all lung-damaging diseases, is now believed to occur once in approximately 1600-2000 live births. Scientists are currently striving to find a control or cure so that thousands of children stricken with cystic fibrosis can lead fuller lives.

Director Cooped up by' rainy fall weather? Turn the inconvenience into an op­ portunity; get your tax records up to date. Specialists at the Eaton County Cooperative Ex­ tension Service suggest that it's not too early to see where you stand on 1980 taxes. And it'S early enough that you may still be able to juggle income or expenses to change your tax bill. Begin by gathering all your records together so you'll know where you are on both in­ come and expenses for the year. Then project expenses and anticipate income to the end of the year. The dif­ ference between income and expenses is either profit — net farm taxable income — or losses. If income is on the high side, look for ways to in­ crease this year’s expenses. Buying seed and fertilizer ahead for next year is one possibility. Making repairs on machinery and equip­ ment; painting buildings, and replacing machinery and small tools are other options. To reduce an­ ticipated income, hold off selling this year’s crops or marketing livestock. If expenses are high, on the other hand, this might be a good time to market livestock or stored crops, or to sell capital items like machinery. You might also consider holding off paying property taxes until after the first of the year, especially if you expect higher income and lower expenses in 1981. Using a rapid depreciation method and taking in­ vestment credit on capital purchases will also help reduce the current year’s taxes. Dollars spent on investments,-'however, are not as effective in reducing taxes as cash expenses. Frequently unrecorded and forgotten expenses in­ clude costs of education (including magazine sub­ scriptions, seminars, etc.) to maintain or improve your skills, travel expenses related to conducting your business, and entertainment expenses when hosting others when the predominant purpose is furthering your farm business operation. Wages paid to your children for work performed for the farm are a farm business expense. Note that you can continue loclaim the child as an exemption on your income tax if she-he is under 19 or regularly enrolled in school, as long as you provide over half the child’s support. The child must file a tax return only if she-he earns more than $3,300. The aim of all this is to avoid wide fluctuations in taxable income. Relatively uniform income from year to year Lends to minimize in­ come tax over time. The reason for getting records in order and seeing where you stand now. is that you still have time to do something about it. The longer you wait, the fewer your options. Winterize lawn and garden tools By Allen Krizek. County Ext. Director The garden is cleaned up, the gutters are cleared of leaves, the storm windows are up, the bird feeder is out, and it’s time to retire your summer tools for the winter. If you want them to be in tip­ top, ready-to-use condition next spring, put a little time into them now. Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director, suggests that a little preventive maintenance will help everything last longer and do a better job for you. “Taking care of tools before you store them for the winter also means they’ll be ready to use when the gardening bug bites next spring,” he points out. “You won’t have to spend that first nice gardening day getting your equipment in shape." Garden hoses, no matter what material they are made of, need to be thoroughly drained before being stored. Water left inside them will freeze and may cause the hoses to crack and split. Store hoses coiled up and lying flat. Hanging them on a nail is probably the worst possible way to store them, Krizek says - they tend to crack where they bend around the nail. Lawn and garden sprinklers should also be drained and lubricated as needed. He also advises replacing the washers in hose and sprinkler con­ nections now, while you are thinking about it. Clean, repair and tighten ladders. To extend its useful life, treat a wood ladder with a wood preservative. A simple homemade preser­ vative consists of 1 part linseed oil and 2 parts paint thinner. Apply it with a brush. Then store the ladder inside, up off a damp basement or garage floor from which it could draw moisture. Remove the soil from hoes, rakes, trowels, shovels, and other tools used to work the soil. Wire brush metal parts if necessary, to remove loose rust spots. Then wipe them with an oily rag. Treat wooden handles with the same homemade preser­ vative used on ladder. It will keep the wood from drying out and cracking. As long as you are working with hand tools, take a minute to wax your snow shovel blade. This will make it slippery so that wet snow slides off of it in­ stead of sticking. Treat a wooden handle with wood preservative. Wipe hedge shears and pruning tools with a rag dipped in paint thinner to remove sticky pitch and sap. Then sharpen them and oil thoroughly. Shears that are rusted open or shut, won’t do you much good next spring. Clean all garden sprayers and dusters and other garden chemical applicators thoroughly. Fertilizer left in a spreader will absorb water, which will contribute to rust and general deterioration. Lubricate moving parts and give rustprone metal and oily rag treatment.

Tuesday, November 25. 1980 — Page 2 Nashville News Adventurous reports from local deer hunters continue to pour in. An unusual ac­ count comes from Dave Finkler of Nashville, who told of a “mirrored” catch on his Curtis Road farm on opening day. The "two hun­ ters involved were Dave’s father, Carl Finkler of Grand Rapids, and Jim Ferrier of Nashville. The men each shot a deer Saturday mor­ ning, about45 minutes apart, and upon measuring later found that the trophies had been bagged just 87 paces from each other. In­ terestingly, both were 9point bucks, each weighing about 200 pounds. But that was not the extent of the similarity. Each animal carried an identical rack, 5 points on the right and 4 on the left. In other hunting activity on opening day, the first deer of the day reported to us was a 7-point buck shot by Rod McMillon, 18, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lowell McMillon of Guy Road, Nashville. He was hunting near the family’s Maple Grove Township home when he downed the animal about 7 a.m. It was the first deer ever bagged by young McMillon. The largest deer ever shot in his 25 years of hunting was reported over the weekend by James Hummel of Nashville. He tagged a 204-lb. buck with an 8-point rack while hunting west of Nashville Sunday morning. A community-wide Thanksgiving Eve service is set for 7 p.m. Wednesday, November 26, at the Nash­ ville Church of the Nazarene. This is an annual event, staged at various local ehurches on a rotating basis. Delivering the address Wednesday evening will be Rev. Robert Taylor of the Nashville Assembly of God. Special music also will be included. Mrs. Edna (De Riar) Hill, a former local resident now of Wyoming, Michigan, wrote us last week to offer information and a correction on our recent Memories story about the Hosmer School. Based on information supplied by our source of material, we had said sisters Stella and Barbara Elarton had married brothers William and Clark Titmarsh. As Mrs. Hill points out in her letter, it was not Barbara who married Clark Titmarsh It was her sister, Elsie Elar­ ton, who in later years became a teacher at Hosmer School as did her other sister, Stella. “Barbara married Willis Edwin De Riar, my grandfather,” wrote Mrs. Hill. Stella Elarton married William Titmarsh, and they lived straight across from the Hosmer School where the County Corners Market now is located. Elsie Elarton married Clark Titmarsh a brother to William. The three girls were daughters of Mr. and Mrs. John Elarton, who are thought to be in the Hosmer School group photo we used with the story. By the way, Mrs. Hill will be celebrating her 75th birth­ day on December 4th She was born in Nashville “in the upstairs apartment of Grandma Furniss’ house” on the southwest corner of the Reed and State streets in­ tersection. (After Barbara Elarton De Riar’s husband, Willis, died, she married • NOTICE • NASHVILLE RESIDENTS Deadline for filling nominating petitions for 3 two-year terms on the Nashville Village Council will be. . .

Good news that Nashville soon will have a take-out pizza place, saving many local folks a jaunt to T.J.’s in Lake Odessa. Before long, T.J.’s will have a branch here in the South End Food and Beverage on South Main. New store' owners George and Tina Williams expect the take-out operation to be open about the first, of December. Submarine sandwiches will be featured along with pizza. Mr. and Mrs. Williams acquired the South End store this fall from former owners Roger and Diane Gardner. Darlene Hughes of Nash­ ville has taken over operation of The Mirror’s Image on Main Street, a beauty and barber shop formerly run by Mike Slocum. Darlene is a 1978 graduate of Wright’s Beauty Academy in Nashville. For the convenience of customers, she has ex­ panded the hours the shop is open. A Nashville native, the former Darlene Hanchett grew up here and graduated from NHS in 1956. Mrs. Dessa Handel, who resides in Nashville with her sister Frieda Hecker, was surprised last Monday when their three other sisters popped in for a surprise party. The occasion was Dessa’s 85th birthday, November 17. Present for the event, in addition to the honoree and Miss Hecker, were Mrs. Richard (Fannie) Endsley and Mrs. Richard (Geraldine) Van Arnam, both of Hastings, and Mrs. Carson (Dorothy) Ames of Nashville. Ice cream and cake were served, and Mrs. Handel received many lovely gifts, cards, and special phone calls throughout the day. The Nashville Fire Dept, responded to a reported garage fire at 740. E. Washington St. about 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, but found nothing ablaze there or in the area. The call apparently was a false alarm. Mrs. Richard (Ann) Ewing of Vermontville, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Skedgell of rural Nashville, By Susan Hinckley is home after a week’s stay at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids. After tests, her condition was diagnosed as viral meningitis. She is continuing to recuperate and regain her strength at home. We wish Ann a speedy return to good health. Mr. and Mrs. Fred (Marguerite) Ackett of Nashville were Sunday dinner guests of her sister, Mrs. Marian Dean of Charlotte. Also present for the occasion were their three brothers and spouses: Mr. and Mrs. Pearl Baker of Sunfield; Mr. and Mrs. Leo Baker and Mr. and Mrs. Vance Baker, all of rural Charlotte. Mrs. Theresa Hess of Nashville has taken up residence at the Maple Valley Arms Apartments on Lentz Street, having moved from her former home on Sherman Street. Rev. and Mrs. E. F. Rhoades and-their daughter, Mrs. Naomi Watson, all of Nashville, entertained at a Sunday evening luncheon in honor of two family bir­ thdays. Honorees were the Rhoades’ daughter, Mrs. Bernice Conklin of Bristol Lake and their grand­ daughter, Mrs. Lori Hughes of Battle Creek. Also present for the occasion were Ber­ nice’s husband, Dale, and Lori’s husband, Gregg; and Mr. and Mrs. Jim (Ruth Ann) King of Bellevue. Howard and Dorothy (Norton) Snow of Phoenix, Arizona,' were Sunday callers on Rev. and Mrs. E. F. Rhoades of Nashville. Reed Street near the Cleveland intersection was a beehive of activity Monday, when the estate of the late George B. Dean was sold at auction. George passed away in September at age 96, and many of the goods sold at the sale had been handed down from his parents, early Maple Grove Township residents George O. and Susan (McKelvey) Dean. The Dean - family later moved into the village, living in the same Reed Street home which was the late residence of.son George. A real drawing card Monday were two old autos, a 1929 Model A Ford coupe with rumble seat and a 1928 Chevrolet sedan, both sold at auction. In addition to the autos, a huge quantity of unique miscellaneous items and fine antique furnishings drew a large crowd of out-of- had been a patient four weeks. Henry and his wife, the former Ruth Hunger, had lived in Barry County since 1932. He was a retired far­ mer and also retired in 1966 after 26 years service as a security guard for Hastings Manufacturing Company. Henry was born in New Yo£k City and reared in Lansing. He joined the U.S. Coast Guard near the end of World War I, as a 15-year-old lad, and served for two years. In addition to his wife, he is survived by two sons and five grandchildren. Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of Nashville was a Sunday guest at the home of her son and family, Glen and Marilyn Ramsey of rural Dowling, for a family dinner in honor of the birthday of the Ramsey’s son, Richard. A letter received last week from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin, added some in­ teresting sidelights to several recent Memories stories. “I was interested in reading about the early political activities in Nash­ ville,” he wrote. “I vaguely remember that after one of the presidential elections there was some kind of meeting in the club rooms where telegraphic reports of the election came in and were posted so people could follow the election results.” Meade believes it was probably in November 1920. (That was the year Warren G. Harding was elected as president.) The club rooms Meade refers to are those in the second floor of the Gribben Block (above what is now Nashville Hardware and 107 Pitstop). Kenneth Meade also commented on the Memories piece about early cider making in Nashville, in particular the Kyser (later Lass) operation at the old grist mill on North Main Street. “I remember that there was an outside tap where we could draw off a small drink of cider when we went to the mill from school.” The old grist mill town dealers as well as eager local buyers. Bidding was brisk throughout the ap­ proximately 6-hour sale, with trucking and carting away of goods extending into the early evening hours. A Monday caller on Mr. and Mrs. Ted (Vada) Mix of Nashville was their niece, Mrs. Michael (Dorothy Hummel) Martich of Battle Creek, who was in town to attend the Dean auction. Mrs. Robert Fueri, Sr., has moved into the village, taking up residence in the former John Joseph home on Cleveland Street. John has moved into the Fueri place on South Clark Rd. Mike Oles of Charlotte was the top weekly weight loss winner when God’s No­ Munch Bunch met last Monday for their weigh-in at the Nashville Baptist Church. The only male in the weight control group, Mike lost four and one-half pounds in one week to earn the title. The rising costs of magazines and the ever­ increasing strain of inflation has been a threat to the periodicals budget at Put­ nam Public Library. Now, that pinch has been relieved by the receipt of two recent gifts. The local Friends of the Library has donated $100 to the library for purchase of periodical subscriptions. The magazines will be selected and ordered by the librarian. In addition, Steve Toman of Nashville recently gifted Putnam Public Library with a. subscription to Sports Illustrated. This is the second year that Steve has made such a contribution to the library. • Correction on an item that appeared in last week’s column: Lowell O. Halliwill is survived by ten children, not eight as reported. All ten were correctly listed in the obituary which appeared in last week’s issue of .the News.

The recent deer hunting Memories brought back personal memories to Kenneth Meade. “Not of deer hunting, but of the tent which Henry Roe used when he took his trips to the North country,” noted Meade. "On June 26, 1912, the house which once stood on the south part of our farm and where I was bom, burned. My dad rented Henry Roe’s tent and we set up housekeeping in it for a few weeks before a temporary house was built.” (Later, the Meade family moved into the magnificent stone house which had been built on the 160-acre farm during the Civil War years by Ken­ neth’s maternal great­ grandfather, Thomas Blaisdell, an early settler in Section 15 of Castlefon Township.) Meade con­ tinued: “I remember how the old tent smelled, a bit raunchy, and how it leaked when there was a hard rainstorm. It also was hot inside when the sun was up, but the side flaps could be raised, which gave good ventilation.” Meade also noted that many deer now live in the woods at the farm (the house is now occupied by his grandson) but he said he never saw any deer there when he was a youngster. OUr Memories story had pointed out that deer were a local rarity here in the late 19th century and well into the 20th. The sighting of a single deer in those days made big headlines. Mr. and Mrs. Adrien (Robie) Pufpaff of Nashville were in Muskegon last Monday to attend funeral services for her nephew, Melvin Stephens, who passed away Friday at age 49. He has been seriously ill for several months with diabetic complications. A special meeting tonight, Tuesday, November 25, at the Community Center (old in Waterworks Bldg.) Putnam Park will give local businessmen and other interested individuals an opportunity to be apprised of the progress made on a downtown development plan for Nashville. Present at the 7 p.m. event will be representatives of Gove Associates, the Kalamazoo engineering, architectural The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Tuesday. November 25, 1980 — Page 3 and planning firm which is currently working on the design plan under a contract allocated through a federal Community Block grant approved last year for the greater Nashville area.

Mrs. Jean Withey of Kalamo and Mrs. Margaret Reid of Nashville were Thursday shoppers in Battle Creek. Accompanying them was Margaret’s grand­ daughter, Jennifer Reid of Nashville. Saturday, while Clarence Reid of Nashville was deer hunting, his wife Margaret and daughter, Anetta Tredinnick of Hastings, shopped in Charlotte and had dinner there. Sunday, Mrs. Reid was a dinner guest of Anetta and Dave Tredinnick and family, and in the af­ ternoon the two ladies called on Margaret’s sister and brother-in-law, Jean and Walter Endsley of Hastings. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Reid of Nashville were Tuesday dinner guests of their son and family, Darrel and Karen Reid and boys of Kalamo. Wednesday guests at the Clarence Reid home were Mrs. Arden Reid and daughters Arnie and Erica of Nashville. Mrs. J. Robert (May) Smith of Nashville has been confined to Pennock Hospital with pneumonia but, at this writing, was expected to be transferred Friday to the Barry County Medical Care Facility for further recuperation. Please remember to cheer her with a card or call. We wish her a very speedy recovery.

In time, a hand pump was in­ stalled at the school and a community dipper served all the students. “Later, we graduated to bringing our own folding metal cups, from home,” recalls Mrs. Jones. True to their motto, early students at Moore worked when .they worked and played when they played. Studies included the traditional three R’s of reading, ’riting, and ’rithmetic. Penmanship was stressed, remembers' Caroline. There also were classes in language, history, physiology, and geography. Good behavior was stressed, too. “In those days, we all minded the teacher,” says Caroline. “We knew if we got whipped at school, we’d get it again at home.” But there were fun times at Moore School. Time for laughter and music. Mrs. Jones recalls when the school acquired an organ, instead of the traditional piano. It was new, and the first musical instrument she can remember the school having. The organ saw plenty of action, especially ” at Chfistmas plays and other specialevents. “Wefalways made a lot of Christmas,” reminisces Mrs. Jones. Also a welcome break from studies were the daily noonday and recess times that afforded an opportunity for field trips into the nearby woods. The children carried their lunches along. “On Arbor Day, we’d pull up trees in the woods and bring them up to plant in the school yard,” remembers Caroline. The children also made flower beds around the school. “We were busy kids,” comments Mrs. Jones. “We made our own entertainment in those days.” Three of the 1911 Moore School students dine together daily at the Nashville Senior Citizen's Nutritioh Site, where they were photographed last week. Caroline Marshall Jones, left, shows photo of old school to Vern Hawblitz and Edna Rogers’Gibbons. Another 1911 student who is a regular at the Site, but currently is in Florida, is Veda Skidmore Guy Shull. Two other students pictured in the 1911 photo also are still living.

(Photo loaned, courtesy Mrs. Caroline Jones) A stand of maples in the yard of the Elmer Moore residence across the road from the school also beckoned the children, as a place to rest and recreation. Caroline’s most vivid memory of the schoolyard concerns ar snake. “It was the biggest blue racer you ever saw,” she said, “and we children chased it.” The reptile slithered into a tile under the schoolhouse, leaving a lasting impression on Caroline, one of the youngest in the group. As with the most rural schools of that era, the teacher often boarded with a nearby family. At Moore, the instructors generally found accommodations with the Elmer Moore family. Dorothy Hyde was one teacher who lived near enough to w^lk 7to school daily from her home. “Teachers were paid only about $40 a month then,” recalls Mrs.'Gibbons. Some of those who taught at Moore are remembered by Edna and Caroline. They include Nina Lawrence Troxel, Grace Giddings,, Tessie Wooley and Ortha Coykendall. Mrs. Jones also recalls Aurie Dean, the only male teacher she remem­ bers from her days at Moore School. Four generations of the Hawblitz family attended classes at Maple Grove Township’s Moore School, starting with Vern’s father, William. Later, Vern’s children, Ortha, Blair and Larry went to school there. And then, Blair’s son Ken­ neth attended Moore before the rural district finally was consolidated with Nashville. The old Moore School was leveled in the 1970’s, but many happy hours spent at the little; red brick schoolhouse are perpetuated in memory. Under New Management DARLENE HUGHES Call for an Appointment.

Main Nashville (517) 852-9192 �The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Tuesday. November 25. 1980 — Page 5 Holiday chain saw safety By John Baer, Ext. Ag. Agent The holiday season — friends, fires and firewood. Many folks will spend some of their recreation time out in the woods cutting firewood. Firewood is an excellent way of trimming your energy bills in the months ahead, but it is not worth the price of a chain saw injury. Chain saws can be used for many purposes — cutting firewood, clearing land or trimming trees. Chain saws are powerful tools that can save hours of hard work. Because they are powerful they can be dangerous if not used with care. Michigan State University Agricultural Engineers remind you of some im­ portant safety factors regarding selection, use, maintenance and storage of chain saws. KICKBACK - Chain saw kickback can result in death or severe injury. The force off the saw chain striking an object throws the saw violently back toward the operator, sometimes with disastrous results. Kickback can occur when the saw chain around the tip of the guide bar touches any object such as a nearby log or branch. Kickback can also occur when the wood being cut closes in and pinches the saw chain in the cut, MATCH SAW SIZE TO THE CUTTING JOB - Match the saw size to the type ofjob you expect to do most often. Select a saw no larger or smaller than you need. If the guide bar is substantially longer than the thickness of the wood to be cut, the tip of the guide bar could accidentally contact a nearby branch, the ground, or another nearby object and result in a serious kickback injury. ted onOd.

(517)852-9564 — NASHVILLE — Ask for Dan!! On the other hand, if the guide bar is too short, it will be necessary to bury the tip of the guide bar in the cut. While most saws can cut a tree or log almost twice as thick as the guide bar length, this practice is not recom­ mended for non­ professionals. Burying the tip of the guidebar in the wood could result in a serious kickback injury. BALANCE - Pick up the saw the way you will operate it. Does the saw feel balanced and comfortable? Avoid saws that tip to either side or rock back with the guide bar tilting toward you/ Some saw handles put your hands too close together for sure control. CHECK THESE FEATURES WHEN YOU SHOP TO FIND A SAW THAT'S EASY AND SAFE TO USE: -Hand Guard Bar in front of forward handle to keep left hand from slipping onto the chain. -Chain Brake (Gasoline only). Designed to stop the chain in a fraction of a second if a kickback occurs, thus reducing the chances of serious injury. Can also serve as hand guard. -Spark Arrester (Gasoline only). Keeps sparks from being ejected by the exhaust. Required in some areas of this country. -Safety Tip - Covers the chain as it passes around the nose of the guide bar. Reduces the chance of kickback by keeping the chain from contacting anything at the guide bar tip. --Trigger or Throttle Lockout - Guards against inadvertent saw chain motion. -Chain Catcher - Guards against injury in case the saw chain breaks. -Electrical Safety - If you choose an electric chain saw, select one which has been listed by a recognized safety rating authority. -Vibration Reduction Systems - Rubber bushings between the handle and saw body or on the engine mountings help reduce the vibration you feel as you saw/This reduces fatigue. -Bumper Spikes - Most saws have large spikes on the front of the engine or motor housing that grip the wood and help hold the saw in place during cutting. READ OWNER’S MANUAL Thoroughly study your owners manual. Ask your dealer or rental agent to show you how to operate your chain saw properly. Be sure to un­ derstand instructions before you attempt to operate the chain saw. SAFETY BEFORE YOU start; - -Clear the work area so the chain will not touch anything but the wood to be cut. -Check for loose bolts and screws and tighten them. -Check the chain for condition and sharpness. Check owner's manual for requirements. Sharpen the chain if necessary. -Check for damage to guide bar such as nicks, dents, or bent bar. Repair or replace a damaged guide bar. -Check for proper chain tension and adjust it if necessary. -Check that handles are clean and dry. . --Wear protective saw will take after the wood clothing: hard hat, safety is cut.

The resolution also calls for an im­ mediate reform of the state’s antiquated Worker’s Com­ pensation Act. The Act, adopted in 1912, is cited by many business, government and labor leaders as a major factor in deterring possible economic expansion, and consequently, job opportunities in the state. SHORT-LIVED DECISION? - “Let those who ride decide” has been the battle cry of motorcycle riders who believe mandatory helmet laws are an infringement on their freedom. Last week it became a victory cheer when, after years of lobbying, the state Senate finally approved legislation repealing the state’s law for everyone over the age of 18, as well as a bill prhobiting local ordinances that require helmets. But the victory may be short-lived. The House, tied up with deliberations over budget bills, may not get around to considering the measures before the end of the year, in which case the motorcyclists would be forced to take up their standard once again and plead, with the Legislature to “let those who ride decide”. PIGEON RIVER - The smoke appears to finally be clearing in the 12-year battle between environmentalists and oil interests over drilling the Pigeon River State Forest, a 96,000-acre tract of land just east of Wolverine. The disagreements between the two sides have been numerous, but an agreement reached recently would indicate that we may see oil companies drilling in the forest only under the most strict environmental protections aS early as the first of the year. Three oil companies — Amoco Production Com­ pany, Shell Oil Company and Northern Michigan Ex­ ploration Company — hold leases to drill in the area. BLUE CROSS - A House-Senate conference committee broke new ground last week on a major piece of legislation that will restructure the state’s largest health insurer, Blue Cross - Blue Shield. Though the committee reached com­ promises on a number of key issues, one point of argument remains the definitions of “labor” and “management” to be used in determining membership of the Blues board. Fur­ ther action on the bill will be taken after the Thanksgiving weekend recess. WATER TRANSPbRTATION AUTHORITY - The State Department of Transportation announced last week that it will ask the Legislature to establish a Lake Michigan Transportation Authority to oversee future water tran­ sportation on the lake and put new life into the industry. GAS PURCHASES DOWN - Less gasoline was purchased by Michigan motorists last year than in any year since 1972, according to state statistics. The drop in gas purchases meant a $77 million cut in gas-sales tax revenue, which is used to fund the construction and repair of Michigan high­ ways and roads.

From our readers To the Editor: I hope you will provide me with the. opportunity to say “thank you” to the voters within your community for their support in my suc­ cessful race to become a Trustee of Michigan State University. As I begin my service to MSU, I realize we face a most difficult period for higher education in Michigan. We will have a very tight budget and it is essential that each tax dollar we receive be spent wisely and well. You have my com­ mitment that I will work for excellence within that im­ portant constraint. Thank you. Elizabeth P. Howe Rochester, Mich. TO THE EDITOR: In these times of layoffs and many losing their jobs for good, I was proud and touched in hearing that our state troopers are willing to take a 5 percent pay cut. They are doing this so others will not have to lose their jobs. For some reason, our legislators, commissioners and school administrators feel they should not bite the bullet like everyone else. Many have voted themselves salary increases while drastically cutting com­ munity services. Among these cuts, some state troopers would lose their jobs. By these legislators, commissioners and ad­ ministrators voting them­ selves raises, they are im­ plying to these troopers that because they want a pay raise these troopers must not have a job. In the words of Daniel Webster, “We have been taught to regard a representative of the people as a sentinel on the watchtbwer of liberty.” Maybe this should be changed to, “...a sentinel on the watchtower of them­ selves.” These legislators, commissioners and administrators should take lessons from our gallant state troopers.

Ethanol, on the other hand, is used mostly as a beverage alcohol and, at higher proofs, as an engine fuel. It can be produced from a variety of raw agricultural products. By modifying tractor engines to burn alcohol, farmers can use the fuel produced from their surplus crops to produce more crops. By-products from the fer­ mentation process can be Colds and exercise — do they mix? air passages. The study reflects the increasing interest of researchers in the effects of cold, dry air on people with lung disease during exercise. Research reported earlier in the same publication showed that exercise-induced asthma occurs most often when the asthmatic inhales cold, dry air through the mouth. This year, the American Association of Lung Michigan is sponsoring research to find out the effects of cold air on people with chronic lung disease and explore ways to reduce adverse reactions. To find out more about lung disease and how to prevent and treat it, contact American your Lung Association of Michigan — the Christmas Seal people. It’s a matter of life and breath. used as a high protein feed supplement, adding to the benefits of farm produced alcohol. Ethanol contains only about two-thirds of the energy of gasoline or diesel fuels. Therefore, it takes a larger quantity of alcohol fuel to get the' same amount of work done. The octane rating of alcohol, however, is significantly higher than that of gasoline. If an engine is modified for alcohol’s properties, the benefits gained through higher compression offset some of the disadvantages of greater fuel consumption because of lower energy content. Problems arising because of alcohol’s corrosive properties and its higher heat of vaporization can be overcome. Corrosionresistant parts may be substituted for the materials that react with alcohol, and the intake air can be heated to help vaporize the fuel. Gasoline engines can be modified to burn straight alcohol, or left as is to run on an alcohol-gasoline blend like gasohol. Alcohol for blending must be nearly anhydrous (free of water). Even small amounts of water can cause the solution to separate. Because it takes more sophisticated equip­ ment, more capital and greater energy inputs to raise farm-produced alcohol from 190 to 200 proof, onfarm production of alcohol for blending is not feasible. An engine designed to utilize alcohol’s unique properties uses a com­ pression ratio of 12:1, fuel injection and spark ignition. This type of engine starts smoothly and operates in all weather. Because of its high octane rating, alcohol’s cetane rating is very low, making it unsatisfactory as a diesel fuel substitute. It can, however, be used as a supplement, helping to reduce diesel fuel consum ptioa The lower energy content and low cetane rating of alcohol make alcohol-diesel blends impractical because they lower fuel efficiency. To run on straight alcohol, a diesel engine would require major modifications. Dual­ fueling, on the other hand, seems more promising. Two separate fuel systems are required and additional equipment is needed to feed the alcohol into the engine. Yet, with this method, alcohol replaces up to half of the diesel fuel ordinarily required. Other benefits of alcohol fuels are that they burn at cooler temperatures, possibly reducing engine wear and increasing the life of motor oil; they burn cleaner than gasoline, thus reducing carbon build-up and many exhaust emissions; and most important, they can be produced from renewable resources on our own farms.

Lovell noted that the most important operation in lire care is proper inflation. “Check your tires at least once a month and before every long trip just as you check your gasoline and oil,” Lovell advised. An underinflated tire, Lovell said, not only causes excessive tire wear and increases the chances of an accident but it also wastes gasoline “Properly maintained tires can increase gasoline mileage by up to three percent,” Lovell said.

Avoid insect problems in stored grain Many of the problems we see in the coming months with farm stored grain is from insects. Many folks ask - where do these insects come from and how can we control them? Many insects enter a grain bin at the top where the moist grain lays. Grain spillage can be another source More than three-fourths of all grain insect problems begin here Basic cleanliness and good management practices help deter pest problems before they start. A few tips to help you keep things under control are as follows : -Clean up the storage area. Get rid of any grain, seed, feed, or trash in or around the grain bin. | -Clean the grain handling equipment — augers, trailers, dryefs; etc. -Dry and clean the grain prior to storage. —Grain elevators often have false perforated floors where junk can accumulate.

Grain is a good insulator and “hot spots” may develop. These areas create optimum conditions for a mold to grow. Once a hot spot is found, the grain should be turned and the spot broken up. To prevent insect in­ festation, apply malathion — an insecticide — to the sides of the grain bin and to the grain handling equipment. Direct application of the malathion to the grain has By John Baer, Extension Ag. Agent proved successful. For application, a pressure spray hose is usually used but this can often be awk­ ward to handle. A newer method is direct drip which uses a stop cock system to drip the malathion into the grain as it moves into the bins.

Help Vermontville Chamber fill canisters for Christmas baskets A fabulous preThanksgiving dinner was thoroughly enjoyed by those who attended the Nov. 11 all­ membership meeting of the Vermontville Chamber of Commerce at the Sugar Hut Cafe. Christmas canisters will be placed in all local businesses to collect funds for the annual Christmas Basket project. Mary Trumble has graciously accepted the responsibility of chair­ manship for the project for the 1980 season. The Chamber commended Hildred Peabody, 1979 chairman, for all of the time and effort she put into the success of last year’s Christmas boxes. It has been suggested that each business, church and individuals who would like to participate should be en­ couraged to donate one new toy to be put in the Christmas baskets. Johnnie’s Food Mart will be contacted to determine how much help will be needed to pack the boxes and on which day it will be done. The Vermontville Fire Department is Santa Claus that-day and delivers the baskets. In other business at the Chamber meeting, it was acknowledged that the problem of commercial vehicles parking on Main Street, for unloading pur­ poses, was under control at this time. It was unanimous that the meat and beverage fur­ nished by the Sugar Hut Cafe and the potluck dishes by those attending the meeting were more than favorable. Verpiontville Village President Bill Mason was introduced at the chamber meeting and he, in turn, introduced Ruth Wineman and commended her for the time and'effort she has put into obtaining data con­ cerning the new police protection program. President Mason also introduced Chief David Fink and Assistant Chief Bob Doty. The officers explained the type of protection that will be offered and the number of hours allocated to the village and township of Vermontville. An active question and answer session followed. Bill and Ione Williams of Williams Studios in Ver­ montville were welcomed guests at the meeting. Railroad is possibility at Charlton Park Village and Museum Plaque arrives from scouts to J-Ad Graphics — A beautiful plaque from Nashville Boy Scout Troop 177 has been presented to J-Ad Graphics "in apprecia­ tion for devoted and untiring work." J-Ad Graphics, in turn, is appreciative of the honor . so kindly bestowed by the members and leaders of the Nashville Troop. The award was officially presented several months ago, and the lovely engraved plaque commemorating that honor arrived recently. In addition to publishing the Maple Valley News, JAd Graphics publishes the Reminder, the Battle CreekShopper News, and the Marshall Community Advisor. A small gauge railroad system for Charlton Park Village, still in the tentative and planning stages, was outlined to the Barry County Historical Society at its November meeting by Frank Walsh, director of the park. Irving Charlton, donor of the park and" museum, ob­ tained the five ton gasoline driven engine from the City of Battle Creek. The city had used it for short hauls in a treatment plant. The engine, which runs on two foot gauge rails, is nearly restored to running condition but more work is needed on the clutch, an oil multiple disc friction clutch. “And there just aren’t many people around who know about those anymore,” Christmas Shop Locally!

Main in Vermontville. Pastor and Mrs. Boger join with the congregation in extending a cordial invitation to the public to attend all services and in wishing each one of you a “Blessed Christmas and a Happy New Year.” �The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Tuesday. December 2. 1980 — Page 2 Nashville News Sylvester Van Hom, Nash­ ville’s oldest male citizen to the best of our knowledge, celebrated his 98th birthday Friday, November 21, with a small family gathering at his home. Present for the cake and icecream event were his daughters, Mrs. Leona McGhee of Middleville and Mrs. Louise Bassett and her husband, Clare, of Freeport; and some ofVan Horn’s step­ family: the Homer Snows of Nashville and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Snow and children of Hastings. Sylvester is wellknown in this area for his lifelong love of hunting and fishing. His trophy decorated auto has been a familiar sight in many local parades. This is the first autumn in 92 years that Van Hom has not hunted deer. He got started on his hunting career at age six, and in a Channel-8 TV interview last fall, claimed he had killed over 100 deer in 91 years of hunting. He also has downed many bears, losing track of the total number killed but remembering shooting four in one season. Van Hora has hunted in every county in Michigan. He also has been a dedicated year-round fisherman, his ice fishing shanty being a familiar winter sight on the Thorn­ apple River. Van Horn moved to Nashville about 21 years ago from Clare. He is married to the former Mrs. Christina Snow of Nashville. Other recent callers at the Van Horn home were Christina’s son and his wife, Howard and Dorothy Snow of Phoenix, Arizona. The Snows were in Michigan for a month-long visit with relatives and friends and called on several folks here. The only Nashville resident we know of who exceeds Van Hora’s age is Mrs. Emily Hafner, who celebrated her 100th bir­ thday last May. Much to the delight of young children and local hunters, a coverlet of snow blanketed Nashville and vicinity by mid-morning Thanksgiving Day. Area motorists were forced to recall winter driving skills as they wended their way to family gatherings Thursday. Most of the downfall had turned to wet road slush by mid-afternoon. The approximately 3-inch layer of white was the first significant snowfallhere this season, and it added a rather picturesque touch to the holiday. Florida visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Kendal T Betty 1 Wilcox of Nashville are her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Burton Ebersole, former local residents now of Green Cove Springs. They flew to Michigan the week before Thanksgiving. Also, arriving on a Wednesday flight in time to join the family for the holiday was the Ebersole’s daughter, Mrs. Rosetta Perry, and her son, Carl, of Jacksonville, Florida. Present at the Wilcox home for Thanksgiving dinner During a lifetime, we develop close affection for members of our family, relatives and friends. We should desire to shield them from the problems that would arise from our unexpected death. Wise and thoughtful planning takes only a brief time, but it can ease much emotional and financial pain we love. 'Vcqt' FUNEtyU.

They are near the tragic brush fires raging through that state last week, and were surrounded on three sides by flames ranging from five to nine miles away from the Gutchess home. At the height of the conflagration Monday evening, they ex­ perienced 100 MPH winds at their home. In the holiday phone call, the Gutchesses reported the fires were “contained” as the winds had died down; Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Newland of Nashville were Thanksgiving Day dinner guests of their daughter and family, Audrey and Gale Wetzel and children of rural Nashville.

Nashville’s Main Street put on its “Christmas best” last week when the Dept, of Public Works crew strung colorful lights across Main Street and attached 'gala decoration to each lampost in the business district. The ritual is undertaken yearly by the DPW on behalf of the local Chamber of Com­ merce, owner of the Christmas street decor. Also last week, Santa’s House arrived in town for its annual stand in Central Park. The tiny dwelling was built several years ago by Eunice and Lloyd Priddy of rural Nashville to serve as Saint Nick’s headquarters here, and it has continued to brighten many Yuletides for local youngsters. Again this year, a brightly painted mailbox is situated near the door of Santa’s House to receive mail addressed to the North Pole resident. Three trustee seats on the Nashville Village Council will be open, to be filled in the upcoming spring elec­ tion. Nominating petitions now are available for those three 2-year terms. Village Clerk Suzy Corkwe 11 advises that the filing deadline for the petitions is 4 p.m., December 16. The expiring terms now are held by trustees Helen Curtis, Forrest Babcock, and Ray Hinckley. The primary election is set for February 16, and the general election will be March 9. Several Nashville folks have been experiencing brief bouts with a sort of intestinal flu, which had knocked them “out” for a period of one to three days. In some cases, the unwelcome visitor has been accompanied by symptoms of the common cold. Word has been received here of the death last Tuesday of Dora Ellen (Baas) DeMerell, 73, a former local resident who had resided at Edmore. She died at Muskegon General Hospital after a brief illness. Dora was born and reared northeast of Nashville, the daughter of Will and Ger­ trude Baas. She graduated from NHS in 1926, then at­ tended Barry County Nor­ mal and Western Michigan University. Dora was a lifelong teacher, having taught at schools in Edmore, Garnet and Schoolcraft. At the time of her death, she was employed as a reading teacher at a Christian school in Montague. Dora’s husband, Roger, died in 1978 and her only survivor in the p.m. A.M. P.M.

Mrs. Williams is a new subscriber to the paper and wrote that she reads every line, even the ads. “It has made me very happy to receive it,” added Mrs. Williams. “So many memories and familiar names.” Edna was born in Maple Grove, the daughter of Merrell and Grace (Geenfield) Knoll. Her fahter worked at the old Nashville Co-operative Creamery. In our reply to Mrs. Williams, we enclosed a copy of our October 10, 1979 Memories story about that early local enterprise. When the Knoll family lived in the country, Edna attended the Beigh School. Mrs. Williams said she intended to share her weekly papers with a former Nashville resident, Lyle Beard, who is 94 years old and confined to a nursing home now. “I know he will enjoy them,” she added. “I just wanted to thank you for writing so many memories. I enjoy the Vermontville News also as we have friends there.” Our thanks to Mrs. Williams for her kind words.

The following year, in Oc­ tober 1878, the News reported that a newlyerected windmill “now furnishes power for Alf Buxton’s busy gun shop.” Two years later, Buxton’s business had grown so large that he began construction of a spacious new brick building on Main Street to house his workshop and convert the operation to steam power. A century later, Buxton’s 1880 building still stands. (Today, it is the home of Nashville Flowers and Jewelry.) Construction of the red brick building started in March 1880 with ground­ work. Nothing was wasted. “The dirt from the ex­ cavation for Buxton’s new brick building has been purchased by the village and is being used to improve South Main Street,” observed the News. In August 1880, the local press reported that Buxton had “raised the columns” to his brick block. Alfred C. Buxton had operated a thriving gun manufacturing business in Nashville for at least a decade prior to construction of the new Main Street quarters. His first workshop stood on a site near the rear of what now is Azor Leedy’s house on South State Street. (A later building on the gun shop site became the Nashville Cooperative Creamery in 1914, after it had seen earlier service as Powles Woolen Mills and W. E. Shields’ woodworking shop. This later structure still stands.) Alf Buxton had gained local fame for the excellence of the hunting implements he made, at a time when nearly all guns were handcrafted. “He loved his work and every piece he worked on was a matter of pride to him,” noted the News at Alf’s death many years later. “His soul as well as his skill entered into the finished work.” Such were the pioneer artisans. Even before Buxton had started in business for himself, his exceptional mechanical ability had earned him an outstanding reputation at saw and grist mills and other mechanical enterprises of the early community. Along the line of his mill work, Alf is credited with sawing out the first board used for building purposes in Nash­ ville. According to a March 1875 News report, the board was sawed in the old Johnson mill and became part of Nashville’s first store building at the northeast comer of what is now the Main and Reed streets in­ Alfred C. Buxton (1843­ tersection. 1924) wos a self-made man, The store was constructed becoming one of Nashville's in the mid-1850’s by Leonard most enduring and pros­ Stauffer, general merchant perous businessmen with who occupied it as both his Engine and Iron Works dwelling .and place of operation. business. (After the turn of the century, it became the home of the Fredric Kyser family and later the Dave Kunz place. The structure no longer stands.) Alf was the son of Cyrus and Harriet Buxton, early Castleton Township pioneers. The elder Buxton had moved to this area from Vermont in 1840 and settled on 160 acres in Section 33. He erected a shanty and, later, a frame house, the first in the township. In his first year here, Cyrus cleared ten acres and produced a bountiful harvest of crops. When the township was officially organized in 1842, Cyrus became one of the “founding fathers.” He was elected as Castleton’s first township treasurer and also was named a township school inspector. Cyrus farmed and continued to prosper and in 1873 moved to 80 acres in Section 34, having earlier purchased the entire section. After spending his early years in local sawmills, young Alf Buxton went to New York where he was employed by Remington Armory at Ilion in the late 1860’s. He then returned to Nashville and commenced the manufacture of guns here, developing it into Nashville Engine and Iron Works. After moving his operation into his impressive new building at the corner of Main and Washington, Alf carried on quite an extensive business in production of custom machinery, prin­ cipally vertical steam engines and equipment used in making wool boots. “A. C. C. Buxton’s manufactory is the busiest place in town,” observed the News in June 1898. “Right now, he is turning out four mammoth felt boot har­ dening machines for the Chicago Curled Hair and Felting Co.” In November 1900, there The Buxton Block, right, was built in 1880 by A. C. Buxton at the corner of Main and Washington to house his Engine and Iron Works, a shop he later maintained i a small way until his death at age 81. Appleman's Grocery took over the in building in November 1925 (as seen in this late-20's photo) and it continued to house successive groceries until converted into a flower shop in 1975. The exterior has changed little in a century. This unidentified engine is believed to be one of the various custom pieces manufactured by Buxton during his over half-century career in Nashville. In addition to guns, he specialized in vertical balanced engines, wood lathes, emery griding machines, steamboat engines and a multitude of other mechanical marvels. was this report in the News: “A. C. Buxton’s business continues good. This week he sold another 20-horsepower engine to J. L. Dolson of Charlotte, to be used in their buggy plant.” Mrs. Gerald Shoup of Nashville recalls a horizontal steam engine her husband purchased in the 1960’s from the former Wildt Mill near Bellevue. Upon closer examination, the Shoups discovered a bronze plaque indicating the machine had been manufactured by A. C. Buxton of Nashville. As a young man, Alf had wed Miranda Austin, who died in 1894. They had two sons, Asa who died in in­ fancy, and Gail, who grew to manhood here and married Margery Brady. He died 18 months later. The A. C. Buxton family home was the yellow brick still standing on the southeast corner of the Reed and State streets in­ tersection, and now occupied by Mrs. George Wilson. An earlier frame house on the site was moved away when Buxton was ready to build the brick residence. Alf Buxton died at his home on the last day of 1924, succumbing to a severe attack of pleuro-pneumonia after ailing but a few days. He was 81 years of age, one of Nashville’s oldest residents ; and most prosperous businessmen. Besides his daughter-in­ law Margery, who had kept house for him in his declining years, Alf was survived by two brothers, Darius and Willard, and three sisters, Olive Bivens, Julia Marshall and Mary Gilmore Devoted to his manufacturing craft all his life, Alf had maintained his shop in a small way in his later years and had even done some woik there justt a few days before his final illness. After his death, Buxton’s Main Street building became a new location for John Appehnan’s grocery, which made a diagonal move across the Main Street in­ tersection in November 1925. The Buxton Block con­ tinued to serve as a grocery store over the next 50 years, for a succession of different owners, until assuming its new role as a flower shop in 1975. The building has changed little in exterior appearance in its century of In an old tintype, Alf Buxton poses with the first gun he ever made.

Hugh Mitchell wins PTO contest BUDGET BILLS - The House and Senate, facing the toughest budget since the Depression era, approved several spending bills as the December deadline looms near. By substantial margins, both houses passed measures ham­ mered out in joint committees that reduce state aid to education by $230 million from last year’s level and increase state spending for welfare by $288 million. The welfare budget does, however, call for a five percent reduction in general assistance payments and a 2.5 percent cut in ADC payments beginning April 1. DRILLING NEARER - A key House committee approved a bill to allow drilling in the Pigeon River State Forest under the most stringent environmental conditions. The full House is expected to debate the bill soon, and with little legislative opposition, oil exploration could begin in the forest during the first few months of 1981. LEADERSHIP ELECTION - The four top leaders of the House Republican Caucus were all reelected to their positions last week, and newly-elected representatives saw one. of their own dected to the leadership team as well. William Bryant will once again head the 46-member caucus, with Mike Busch as floor leader, Connie Binsfeld as assistant leader and Paul Henry as assistant floor leader. ECONOMIC STUDY - A University of Michigan study says that the state must attract industries supplying new automobile technologies or they will be forever lost to southern states or foreign producers. The study predicted an auto sales growth rate of only 1 to 1 Vi percent a year and the need for up to $85 billion in capital spending to make domestic car production competitive. UNPAID STATE HOLIDAYS - In an effort to save some $18 million a year, the state Department of Management and Budget is proposing six unpaid holidays for most of the 70,000 state employees. The state Civil Service Commission will consider the proposal December 18-19 in Lansing. CONVENTION PROMOTION - The Senate approved legislation last week that would promote convention and tourism business in the Detroit area. Under the bill, a special assessment district would be created in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties with proceeds collected from, a hotel-motel room tax specifically earmarked for promotion on convention business in the area. PRISON OVERCROWDING- A bill granting the governor emergency powers in case of prison overcrowding easily passed the House last week. The bill, which now goes to the Senate for consideration, gives the governor authority to declare a state of emergency and take appropriation measures to alleviate overcrowding in state facilities if the problem exists for at least 30 days. tractive styles from Cardinal Associates of Princeton, Indiana.

(tfn) Hand"-made turkey art Fingerpaints and small hands made remarkable turkey pictures to decorate the halls of Fuller Street School last week. In this case, hands were used in more than the usual artistic way. Bodies of the two facing birds actually are prints of small paintedsmeared hands plunked down on paper. Fingers become turkey feather and thumbs become the gobbler's neck. Detail is added with a little colored pencil work here and there. The art is the handicraft of Mrs. Mary Davison's kindergarten class.

I shall never forget the kindness and generosity that were extended to me and my family throughout the campaign. I would also like to extend my best wishes to Jim Gilmore, who has been most gracious in the days following the election. While there were many differences that surfaced between us during the campaign, there were also many areas of agreement and a mutual commitment to solving the problems facing our nation and the communities that make up the Third District. I look forward to working with Jim during the coming years as we continue to address these problems. Our nation continues to face great challenges both at home and abroad. While I enter this second term with a deep sense of the gravity of these problems, I am more convinced than ever that together we can solve any problem we face by creatively utilizing our country’s great resources. I am also convinced that the solutions to the problems we face are not to be found in Washington but. rather in local communities throughout our nation. For this reason, I, as your Representative, will con­ tinue' to seek your input — your ideas and concerns. I hope that all of my con­ stituents, regardless of their party affiliation, will continue to share their thoughts on the many issues that lie before us, and will feel free to contact my office if there is ever any way that I or members of my staff can be of assistance. .

And I even got a pretty Christmas card from Matthew Mace. One little girl really did write that she would like two front teeth for Christmas. There’s a shortage of front teeth in toyland this year, so I’ll be bringing her something else she will be sure to like,” said the jolly ole elf as he winked and grinned with delight.

Nashville News A telegram from her family living in Italy brought good news Wednesday to Mrs. Homer (Tecla) Snow of Nashville. After 10 days of trying to contact relatives there and worrying about their status following Italy’s devastating November 23 earthquake, Tecla was relieved to read this message: “We are safe. Do not worry.” An Italian native who has been in the USA some 35 years, Mrs. Snow has relatives living near the cities of Naples and Salerno, two points bordering the area hardest hit by the quake which killed thousands. The Snows first learned of the tragedy while en route to Hopewell, Virginia, for a Thanksgiving week visit with Tecla’s cousin, Mrs. Lydia Bufflo and family. She, like Mrs. Snow, came to America as a “war bride” during World War II. The Snow family, including son Randy of Nashville and daughter, Barbara of Lansing, arrived at the Bufflo home Monday before Thanksgiving. They began immediate attempts to phone relatives in Italy. The calls never got through, and in 10 days of subsequent trys both Mrs. Snow and Mrs. Bufflo were unsuccessful in efforts to reach their Italian relatives. The Snows returned to Nashville Sun­ day, still not knowing if their family members in Italy were safe. Finally, the welcome telegram arrived Wednesday. Tecla immediately phoned Mrs. Bufflo to relay the good news and learned that she also had received a similar telegram. The messages contained no clue as to whether or not the relatives had lost any property in the quake. Congratulations to Patrick and Karen (Christopher) Powers of Nashville on the arrival of their son, born December 1 at Pennock Hospital in Hastings. The young man, who tipped the scales at 7 lbs. 10 ozs., has been named Thomas Glenn in honor of two of his great­ grandfathers, both local residents. They are Thomas Powers and Glenn White. The new arrival’s proud grandparents are Lee and Thelma Christopher on the maternal side and Jim and Elaine Powers, on the paternal. The baby has several great-grandparents. In addition to Mr. and Mrs. Glenn White and Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Powers, he is blessed with a maternal great-gtandmother, Mrs. Bertha Pline of Portland, Michigan, and two other sets of maternal great­ grandparents: Kenneth and Muriel Christopher of Flushing, Mich, and" Glen and Ethel MacNeven of Palo. Arriving on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, was a 9 lb. baby boy, born to Steven^ and Debbie Graham of Nashville.

Adrien Pufpaffs 100-yearold relative was featured in a recent story written by Virginia Gust for the Battle Creek Enquirer and News. The centenarian is Ossee Talmage, known simply as OC, who resides in a rural area outside of Battle Creek. Talmage is a first-cousinonce removed ta Adrien, whose maternal grandfather was a brother to OC’s father. (More simply, Adrien’s mother was a first cousin to Talmage). According to the Gust story, Talmage was born and raised in a log cabin in Newton Township. He is a retired farmer and also “cut wood for part of his living, grew vegetables,, sold corn borers to fishermen and made baseball bats,” wrote Gust. OC is a descendant of a poineer family that first settled in Calhoun County in 1843, and he told Gust of the wildlife pets he had while living the first 13 years of his life “in a log cabin that stood at the edge of a woods.” In later years,. Talmage manufactured baseball bats from ashwood in a workshop at his home. In addition, he maintained a large garden and huge corn patch. “Talmage loves to fish, and one of his favorite meals is fried bluegills,” noted Gust. Talmage’s advice for reaching a healthy, happy century mark is, according to the story, “Keep busy. If you keep working, you’ll stay out of trouble and you’ll never go hungry.” OC celebrated his 100th birthday Saturday, November 29. The Adrien Pufpaffs last visited Talmage two years ago, and they hope to get back to see him again soon. Mrs, Gloria Goodner and family of Nashville hosted a post-Thanksgiving family dinner on Saturday following the holiday.

Nashville’s Fire Chief Doug Yarger has offered some valuable pointers to help, our community residents enjoy a happy, fire safe holiday season.

Three interior walls of Nashville’s recently renovated Community Center (old Waterworks Building) in Putnam Park now bear historic murals of the park area, painted under the direction of local artist Dale Ann Morawski. Now, Village President Harold Christiansen hopes to fill the one remaining wall with photos of past Nashville presidents. He has enlisted our help in securing pictures of these people. Not much hope is held out in locating photographs of the very earliest of these officials (the first, Lemuel Smith, took office in 1869) but Christiansen wants to find as many as possible for the display. According to our count, there have been 52 different people holding the office of Nashville president (some had multiple terms). They are, in order of ser­ vice: Lemuel Smith, D. C. Griffith, George A. Truman, Calvin Ainsworth, Elihu Chipman, William Killen, W. H. Young, Emory Parady, William Boston, John B. Marshall, H. A. Barber, Charles W. Smith, B. B. Downing, Hiram R.

Many of the garments produced by Baby Bliss are “born” right here in Nash­ ville. Workers at the com­ pany’s Nashville plant stitch and finish an average of 6,000 garments per week, says Barbara J. Thomason, plant manager. Employees in Nashville work on every detail of making a garmet — from stitching in the label to sewing on an applique to the final inspection of the finished outfit.

Corkwell, Clerk �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Tuesday, December 9. 1980 — Page 7 From our readers Dear Editor, Property owners have received notices of another hefty increase in taxes. Most are up substantially from a year ago. This happens year after year. We are in the midst of a most serious economic depression in our Nation. Especially is this acute in Michigan. Unemployment remains at very high levels. Yet, our outmoded, uneconomic and regressive system that determines property tax valuations will demand even further in­ creases in 1981. This will not be the fault of the local Supervisors and Assessors. Rather, it is the mandate of the Legislature, interpreted and implemented by the Tax Commission and the County Equalization Departments. The ambiguities and-whims of such elements as Sales Analysis, Economic Con­ dition Factors and the purely regressive impact of in­ flation place our valuations at speculative, rather than true cash value. It is a known fact that Michigan has a reputation for having a poor business climate. Our system of taxation appears respon­ sible, to a large degree, for Industry leaving the state. Farmers and home owners have ever increasing dif­ ficulty in meeting a regressive tax burden. For years I have struggled to get the Legislature to enact a moratorium on spiraling increases on existing property valuations. Taxes have doubled and guadrupled during a relatively few years. The response has always been cool. My concerns were always regarded as illegal, impossible or unnecessary. After November 4th, Legislators began to truly assess the utter frustration of property owners. Some of these for the first time. Now a number are calling for a moratorium on any increase in valuation, other than new property, for 1981. This, to allow time for the Legislature and the Ad­ ministration to work out a true tax reform package before another year. I urge that all who agree with me to write the Governor, your State Senator or your Representative and express your opinion. If I can assist please give me a call.

The bill is the first major change for the Blues in 41 years, and is aimed at making the giant health insurer more cost conscious and consumer-oriented. GASOHOL BOOST - The State Senate gave final approval without debate and by a unanimous vote to legislation en­ couraging the use of gasohol through a tax break. The measure, which lowers the 11 cent a gallon state tax on gasohol to 6 cents a gallon through 1982, increases it to 8 cents in 1983, 9 cents in 1984 and to the full 11 cents in 1985, has been sent to the Governor for his signature. Gasohol is a mixture of 90 percent gasoline and 10 percent alcohol and is promoted as an alternative fuel. MURDER BILL - In an effort to resolve the legal flaws that led the Supreme Court to abolish the state’s “felony­ murder” rule, the House Judiciary Committee rushed through an amendment aimed at making those who kill while committing a serious crime once again automatically guilty of first degree murder. But even the sponsors of the measure admit it will be difficult to get it through both houses and signed by the Governor before the end of the session this month. SUBSIDY DEFEATED - The controversial $800,000 subsidy for the Pontiac Silverdome was defeated in the House for the first time since construction of the facility began nine years ago. DRILLING OKAYED - In the House, a bill permitting limited oil drilling under strict environmental controls in the Pigeon River .Country State Forest was easily approved, virtually ending the 12-year dispute between en­ vironmentalists and oil companies. The compromise plan, adopted on an 89-11 vote, is essentially the same as a proposal adopted by the state Natural Resources Commission and authorizes new oil and gas exploration in the lower third of the forest where an estimated 77 billion barrels of oil lay. The state could receive as much as $700 million in royalties when the drilling, predicted to begin after the first of the year, is completed. The bill, which also calls for environmental groups to withdraw their law suits which are designed to block ex­ ploration in the 96,000 acre forest, will be returned to the Senate for final action. This new plan has Governor Milliken’s support. If the bill is signed into law, it will be submitted to the Ingham County Circuit Court where the lawsuits are pending as a consent agreement to end the litigation. ■To the Editor; Recently the members of the Vermontville Council received invitations to a Tri­ County Regional Planning Commission meeting in Lansing. Village President Bill Mason and myself at­ tended this meeting. We went because the purpose of the planning commission, we thought, was plans for the future improvements and upgrading of the roads and streets. Naturally, we mentioned the condition of Vermontville Highway and the amount of traffic there was on it, and if there were any plans on upgrading this road in the future. Well, it didn’t take very long for one of the five or six white shirt guys that were conducting the meeting, to let us know where the interest was and where the money would be spent, all around the Lansing area. They could care less whether Vermontville High­ way is ever improved, was our impression. Sort of disgusting after all these years of terrible roads that we are not remembered out here. Leonard Aldrich Vermontville, Mich. TO THE EDITOR: • In my recent letter, I was not aware that some custodians, teachers’ helpers, etc. had to take a cut in wages or hours to support the administrators wage raise. Reminds one of the old-time fendal system, doesn’t it? I had thought there would be a flood of protest letters instead of only two. Are parents worried how their kids would be treated if they protest? Or afraid of losing their jobs entirely? Edith Benedict Nashville police report — The Nashville Police Dept, handled 54 complaints during the month of November, according to a police activity report sub­ mitted Thursday to the village council by Sgt. Gene Koetje, acting chief. Among those complaints were one assault, three prowlers, three larcenies, one breaking & entering, two malicious destructions of property, four check cases, and a disorderly subject. In November, the Nash­ ville police made one arrest on a felonious check charge, arrested two juveniles for larceny of gas, and made another larceny arrest on a felony. In addition, the local of­ ficers issued five moving violation citations, assisted the Barry County Sheriffs Dept, ten times and the Eaton County Dept., once. The Nashville optoallicoof ef cruiser was driven a total 2,232 miles in November, using 213 gallons of gasoline.

Most of the residential fires that occur during the holidays are preventable. Please heed these following safety hints: ...Use only lights that have been tested for safety, identified by the UL label. ...Check light sets and discard any that have broken or cracked sockets, frayed or bare wires, or loose con­ nections. ...Never use indoor lights outside. Fasten outdoor lights securely. ...Use no more than three sets of lights per single extension. ...Always turn off lights on trees and other decorations when you retire or leave home. A short circuit in any of this equipment could cause a fire. ...Never use electric lights on a metallic tree. ...Keep children away from light sets and electrical decorations. ...Always dispose of gift wrappings immediately after opening. ...Place trash in a metal container. DON’T burn wrappings in the fireplace. They may ignite suddenly and cause a flash fire. ...Artificial (plastic) trees should bear the UL label. Some unlabeled plastic trees burn with extreme vigor. ...Check fresh trees for color and scent. A fresh tree is deep green in color and has a strong scent of pine. ...Be sure that needles do not readily fall from the tree. The trunk butt of a fresh tree should be sticky with sap. ...Place your Christmas tree in a location away from fireplaces, radiators, or other heat sources. Be sure it does not block doorways. ...Fill sturdy base holder with water, and keep it full (as you would fresh flowers). Remember, heated rooms dry trees out rapidly; and a dry tree is a fire hazard. ...Never set up your Christmas tree near the fireplace. Before using the fireplace, remove all paper decorations and boughs from the immediate area. ...Be sure the fireplace flue is open. Use a screen to enclose the front of your fireplace to confine live embers and sparks. ...Never use lighted candles on a tree or near other evergreens. ...Always use nonflammable holders. ...Place candles where they cannot be knocked or blown over. Keep candles away from other decorations, wrapping paper. News deadline changed A new deadline is now in effect for submitting news copy to the Maple Valley News. The new time is 10 a.m. Monday.

' Nashville seeks contributions for Christmas baskets Christmas baskets for needy families in the Nash­ ville community are being prepared again this year under the direction of the local United Methodist Church. Rev. Leonard Putnam is acting as chairman of the project. Assisting in the Christmas basket program are the Nashville Assembly of God and the Church of the Nazar ene. Contributions of food for the baskets are needed, and they may be left at the United Methodist Com­ munity House. Cash con­ tributions for the project also are welcome. Checks marked for the Christmas Basket fund may be mailed to the United Methodist Church, Box 370, Nashville. The baskets will be packed Monday, December 22, by volunteers from all three churches. Delivery will be made on Tuesday, December 23. This year, it is hoped the list of needy families can be compiled from two local sources. First, families who need holiday assistance may call Rev. Leonard Putnam. Secondly, anyone knowing of an individual or family whom they believe should be a recipient of a Christmas basket may call and place w CHRISTMA the request with Rev. Put­ nam. It is believed that this method will be more ef­ fective than relying solely on lists furnished by social service agencies. Please do your part to make the Nashville Com­ munity Christmas Basket program a success.

Construction of the new system is expected to start in January. The informational meeting coincides with the next regular council session. Bruce Kuffer, Williams and Works regional con­ sultant, told council officials Thursday that he and others from the Grand Rapids firm will be present to apprise the council of the mechanics of the project. Williams and Works representatives will include the Nashville project manager and the resident engineer. Kuffer said the presen­ tation will cover several aspects of the sewer ex­ pansion project, including proper procedure for change orders, handling of citizen complaints, scheduling of construction, communication, supervision, and cleanup. Also, responsibilities of each party — client, engineer, and con­ tractors — will be outlined. Kuffer noted that such information should aid Nashville officials in fielding potential questions from local residents about the project. “All of you probably will receive calls from the public over the one to oneand-a-half year of con­ struction on the project,” Kuffer told the council. The December 18 meeting is open to the public, but Nashville officials plan at least one informational meeting for the general public to answer specific questions village residents may have about the project and construction. The date for the general informational meeting has not been scheduled yet. Contractors on the Nashville project are Dungian Bros, and Normco Construction, both Jackson­ based firms.. In related action Thur­ sday, the council approved a $16,152 payment to Williams and Works for engineering services on the project through November 10, 1980. In addition to some in­ terest costs, the amount covers services for collection and treatment system design, . sewer- system evaluation survey, and engineering work for Step 3 construction and ad­ ministration. The council Thursday also adopted a resolution ac­ cepting a grant and loan from the U. S. Farmer’s Home Administration. Of­ ficial closing of the FmHA loan and signing of bonds to cover the local share of the project will take place at 10 a.m. Monday, December 8, at the Community Center in Nashville. Official ground­ breaking ceremonies will follow, with several federal, state and local officials participating. The major portion of the Nashville project cost is being covered by a grant from 4he U.S. En- vironmental Protection Agency. A smaller grant also has been approved by Michigan’s Dept, of Natural Resources. In addition to a new treatment facility, the Nashville' project will provide wastewater collection service to 183 additional homes in the village. Also added to the/ new municipal system will be approximately 40 homes whose present septic systems run into storm drains flowing directly into Quaker Brook or Thornapple River.

The Farmland and Open Space Preservation Act became law in May of 1974. Its purpose is to protect farmland from non-farm development by providing tax relief to farmers. Eligible farmland must be actively farmed and nor­ mally forty (40) acres or more in size, however, certain specialty crop farms need not be forty (40) acres. A farmer may enroll for aminimum of ten (10) years. By enrolling he places a restrictive covenant upon his land which prohibits honfarm development, such as the selling of land for houses. In return the farmer is reimbursed all property taxes in excess of 7 percent of his household income as a credit against the Michigan Income Tax or Single Business Tax. A simple test to see if your farm would benefit from the program is to take your most recent tax statement and divide the amount of tax by .07. The resulting number is a good estimate of your break-even point. If your household income is less you will benefit from the program. Example: $2,400 divided by .07 property tax equals $34,286.00 Household income break-even point. The program also protects the farmer from special tax assessments for im­ provements such as, sanitary ~sewers, non-farm drainage, public water, and street lights. Applications may be ob­ tained at no charge at the Eaton County Clerk Office, or in some cases may apply with your local officials. A farmer may get out of the program either at the' end of the contract •period (normally ten (10) years), or if warranted may be EWING WELL DRILLING Your dependable drillers in Eaton & Barry Counties OFFERING COMPLETE...

VERMONTVILLE, MICHIGAN STATE LICENSE NO. 1612 released earlier. When the contract period expires the farmer may re­ enroll or get out. If the farmer chooses tu get out of the program a lien is placed upon the property in the amount of the total tax benefit for the last seven (7) years. If the farmer later renews the agreement the lien is discharged. The program is designed to allow the transfer of property as long as it remains in agricultural use and the partial payback is only required when a farm is converted to non-farm use. The Eaton County Plan­ ning Commission has en­ dorsed the program and is promoting its use especially in high quality farmland areas. Interested farmers may contact any of the following agencies for further in­ formation.: The Eaton County Cooperative Ex­ tension Services, The Thornapple-Grand Soil Conservation District, The Eaton County Equalization Department, Eaton County Clerk’s Office, and The Eaton County Planning Department. Tips to help stay on top of winter By Margaret Ann Ross, Extension Home Economist Are you prepared to cope with winter weather emergencies? These are suggestions and precautions for you to follow around your home: •Check those flashlight batteries now and make sure you have a working flashlight near the phone along with important emergency phone numbers. •Have those of you who burn wood had your chimney cleaned?? This is a MUST to prevent devastating chimney fires caused by a build-up of cresote (which occurs no matter what kind of wood you burn or how dry it is!). Finally! Now... •MN •Have those of you who burn oil or gas had a thorough fall checkup — burner belts, bearings, filters? Do you have a spare fuse for the blower motor, a spare fan drive belt?? •Have you practiced your personal fire escape plan with your family recently? Can you open your storm windows from INSIDE the house? •Be extra cautious with portable heaters and ex­ tension cords and avoid overloaded electrical cir­ cuits. •Do NOT use flammable liquids of any kind to start wood fires. •Are you prepared with adequate food for YOUR FAMILY that can be prepared without cooking? •In the event of a power (and, consequently often a heating) failure of extended duration, do several members of your family know how to drain your water system to keep it from freezing? •Be smart - work together as a family to be prepared for winter this year!! Experts give tips on Poinsettia care Christmas can be a time for plant care practice, according to Eaton County Home Economist, Ann Ross. Your Christmas poinsettia will remain attractive longer if you follow these tips on selection and care from horticulturists at Michigan State University: ...Choose a plant with dark green foliage. Fallen or yellow leaves indicate poor fertilization, a root disease or drying out. ...Look for a poinsettia with red, pink, or white bracts of good size and color. Check the red or green button-like parts in the center of the bracts. These are the true flowers, and they should have little or no pollen on them. ...Wrap the plant well before you take it outdoors. Exposure to low tem­ peratures for even short periods of time will cause bracts and leaves to turn brown and drop off. ...Place the poinsettia near a sunny window, but don’t let any part of the plant touch the cold glass. ...Try to keep the tem­ perature between 65 and 70 degrees F during the day and 60 and 65 degrees at night. ...Keep poinsettias away from drafts. Do not place them near radiators, air registers or other heat sources, open windows or doors. ...Water only when the soil feels dry. Soak the soil to the bottom of the pot and discard any excess water that drains out. Overwatering will cause the plant to yellow and drop leaves. Underwatering causes wilting and falling leaves. ...Apply a . soluble houseplant fertilizer once a month according to the manufacturer’s directions. ...In February or early March, cut the plant back to four to six inches in height and treat it like any other houseplant. Tender loving care is for both plants and people. Action - Ads FOR SALE: Dual 721 turn­ table, bought in Germany, $200.00. Call evenings, 726­ 1388 (Vermontville).

Instead of turning sod at the proposed treat­ ment facility site on Brumm Road as planned, Nashville Village President Harold Christiansen wielded a “gold” shovel inside the Community Center in Putnam Park. A party of more than 30 looked on, including federal, state and local officials, engineers and contractors, and attorneys. Prior to the symbolic “shoveling,” final paperwork and bond signing for a $895,000 loan from the U.S. Farmers Home Ad­ ministration was completed with federal and local officials taking part. As a ttest draw on that loan, a qheck of $200,000. was presented to Nashville officials Monday. In addition to the FmHA loan, grant funds of $345,000 from that agency also have been approved the Nashville project. Altogether, the village will receive more than 80 percent of the $4.8 million project cost through federal and state grants. The major portion of the grant amount is being supplied by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, with Michgian’s Dept, of Natural Resources contributing a smaller share. Construction on the Nashville project is expected to begin by January.

December 16. 1980 — Poge 2 Nashville News If you are a senior citizen and grew up in the Nashville community, you probably have something to offer for next week’s Memories. In that upcoming story we hope to touch on the family aspect of local early Christmas celebrations. How was the holiday observed in your home when you were a child? Do you recall one very special Christmas, a happy Yule event, or some.seasonal anecdote? If so, we would like to hear your thoughts so that we may share them with others. Please call this reporter at 852-1963. Mrs/ Verna Frederick of Nashville recently underwent surgery at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids for implantation of a pacemaker. She is doing well and will be convalescing at the home of her son and family, the Lester Woodburys of Vermontville. Miss Sally Putnam and Dennis Wigent, both for­ merly of Houston, Texas, were married November 29 at the local United Methodist Church. Her father, Rev. Leonard Putnam of Nash­ ville, officiated. The newlyweds will make their home in Grand Rapids. Good news that Mrs. J. Robert (May) Smith of Nashville has improved in health and now is home after several weeks confinement with viral pneumonia. Mrs. Smith had been hospitalized at Pennock in Hastings and then later transferred to the Barry County Medical Care Facility for further recuperation A Christmas potluck dinner for the Builders Class of the Nashville United Methodist Church is set for 7 p.m. Wednesday, December 17, at the parsonage. Mr. and Mrs. Jack (Rose) Dawson of Nashville were pleasantly surprised over Thanksgiving when their children living out of state were able to join them for an unexpected holiday visit. Their son and family, Martin and Susan (Heaton) Dawson and Marty, Jr., arrived from Alabama for an extended week’s stay. Next, the Dawsons received a call from son Jack, Jr., in Arkansas informing them that he had a knee injury and that he and his wife, the former Phyllis Allerding, and their son Jack III would be home for Thanksgiving. In addition, the Dawson’s son-in-law, Dan Briones called to say he was flying home from his employment in Alabama to join his wife, the former Cinda Dawson, their son Daniel and newborn daughter, Jamie, for the holiday. To make it a complete and happy family gathering at the Dawson home, son Frank arrived from Lansing where he is enrolled at LCC as a music major. Also present for Thanksgiving dinner were Rose’s mother and uncle, Mrs. Roberta Mead and Nelson Mead, both of Nash­ ville. After the holiday, Dan Briones and Martin Dawson will move to Mississippi in their employment, and when Jack’s knee is healed he will join his work crew in Florida. Vem and Alice Marshall of rural Nashville were recent Sunday evening callers on Rev. and Mrs. E. F. Rhoades, local. Mrs. Earl (Clara) Pen­ nock and Mrs. William (Marian) Link, both of rural Nashville, enjoyed a recent 2-day trip to Lake City to visit former local resident Mrs. Nyle (Judy) Briggs and family.

Thanksgiving Day guests of Jim and Anne Me Laughlin of rural Nashville were their children: daughter and son-in-law Janine and Herb Harb of Brimingham; daughter Gail of Ferndale, and son and family, Mr. and Mrs. Marc Mac Laughlin and Dana of Detroit. In addition to the holiday festivities, Saturday after Thanksgiving also was a special occasion for the family. It was the 27th wedding anniversary for Jim and Anne and the first for Mr. and Mrs. Marc McLaughlin, who remained here over the weekend with his parents to help celebrate the dual November 29th event. The P.F.C. Missionary group of the local Baptist church' met recently for a Christmas party at the home of Mrs. Sandy Priddy of Nashville. Twenty-one were present for the occasion, and each brought holiday “goodies” as refreshments. In a gift exchange, the ladies presented each other with Christmas tree ornaments, many of them exquisite handmade decorations. The annual Sunday School Christmas program at the Nashville Baptist Church is set for 7 p.m. Sunday, December 21. A second letter from Edna (Knoll) Williams, a former local resident now of East Leory and a recent sub­ scriber to the Maple Valley News, supplied us with additional information on Lyle Beard. He is a 94-yearold Nashville native now living in an adult foster care home in Battle Creek. Mrs. Williams visits him there and has been sharing her Maple Valley News with Mr. Beard. She wrote that Lyle had a comment on A. C. Buxton, a recent Memories subject. “He said Buxton sure was a very smart man,” noted Mrs. Williams. “Smart with machinery and about making upright boilers.” According to her letter, Lyle Js^ very alert, reads a lot and has good recall. Though somewhat hard of hearing, he has no difficulty when using his hearing aid. Mrs. Williams said that Lyle was very enthused about the Maple Valley News issues she had taken to him.

Main, Vermontville, Michigan Phone726-0330 By Susan Hinckley been a subscriber only a few weeks, we bundled up several past Memories stories and sent them to her so that she might enjoy them and also share some with Lyle. Incidentally, in our correspondence with Mrs. Williams we learned that Lyle is a brother to the late Albert Beard, a man whose name we had run across in his capacity as a turn-of-the century employee of The Nashville News, a forerunner of this paper. Perhaps some of our readers may remember Lyle and wish to get in touch with him. His address in Battle Creek is 261 Yale St., Zip 49017. Another reader who had a comment on A. C. Buxton was former local resident Wayne Fuller of Toledo, though his memories were passed down. “I can remember my folks talking about the one (Buxton) that operated the shop,” wrote Fuller, “and how Henry Ford wanted him to invest $5,000. in his new automobile manufacturing outfit. Buxton turned him down.” Fuller noted that another Michigan fellow named James Cousins did invest $5,000. about that time and later received 60 million dollars when the Fords paid him-off for his investment. Christmas, baskets for the needy in the Nashville community are being prepared at the local United Methodist Church with the help of the Nashville Assembly of God and the Church of the Nazarene. Rev. Leonard Putnam is chairing the program. If you can offer assistance^ a contribution, or the name of a potential recipient, please call him. The baskets will be packed Monday, December 22, by volunteers from all three churches. Delivery will be made on Tuesday, December 23. Diane Huffman of Ver­ montville was named top weekly weight loss winner when God’s No-Bunch Munch met last Monday for the weigh-in at the Nashville Baptist Church. Diane had lost four and one half pounds in one week to earn the title: No one had to lug a ball and chain around town on December 7th after all, since the Jr. and Sr. High Depts, of the Nashville Baptist Church tied in the first round of a December attendance contest. Dubbed the “Battle for the -Teen Room,” the month-long Sunday School promotion features many zany penalties to be meted out weekly to the losing department. Both ended up with 13 over average at­ tendance Sunday, so the ball and chain routine will be added to the December 13 “foot kissing” castigation to create a- double jeopardy situation. At the conclusion of the contest, the leader of the losing team, either Pastor Don Roscoe of the Sr. Dept, or Steven Knight of the Jr. Dept., will swallow a live goldfish as the ultimate penalty. The winners, meanwhile, will gain six months control of the Teen Room, a recreational activities room at the church. Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville was a guest of her daughter and son-in­ law, Doris and Cleo Jacobs of Algonquin Lake, for a Saturday evening Christmas dinner at the Chateau restaurant near Charlotte. The December 13th event was a holiday gathering for the family of Mr. and Mrs. Jacobs. The Council on Ministries of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday, December 16, at the church, to be folllowed by an 8 p.m. meeting of the Administrative Board. The annual Christmas program of the Sunday School of the Nashville United Methodist Church will be staged at 7 p.m. Sunday, December 21, at the church. Refreshments will be served following the presentation. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Reid of Nashville attended a recent breakfast for Kellogg retirees at the Pancake House in Battle Creek. Later, they visited Clarence’s brother - in - law, Frank Shaver, who resides in Battle Creek, and called on Frank’s wife, Ethel, who is confined to the Arrowood Nursing Home there. Mr. and Mrs. Reid also visited his cousin Mrs. Myrtle Hunter and her daughter, Mrs. Illene Reardon, of Portage. The Senior High Sunday School Dept, of the Nashville Baptist Church is planning a December 19-20 “Overniter” at the church. Starting at 6 p.m. Friday, the youngsters will go Christmas caroling at the Barry County Medical Care Facility.

Descendants of the late James and Mary Jane (Miller) Hummel of Nash­ ville gathered for a family Christmas reunion at Kalamo Township Hall Sunday, December 7. The potluck dinner event is an annual affair instituted and hosted for the past nine years by the Hummels’ grandson, Joel, and his wife, the former Gladys Eddy Perkins. (She is the daughter of the late Jim and Lena Eddy of Nashville.) Many local oc l families wererepresented at the reunion, including the Mix, Hinckley and Appelman families, in addition to children and grandchildren of Joel Hummel. Also present were some members of the Eddy and Perkins families. Dick Bogart of Nashville returned home last Monday from St. Mary’s Hospital in Grand Rapids, where he had undergone su gery a week earlier. He will be con­ valescing at home for about two weeks, and then expects to be out and around again. A New Year’s Eve gathering at the Hastings Bowl is planned by the Nash­ ville Baptist Church. The event will start at 9 p.m. following regular Wed­ nesday night Bible Study, and will conclude at 1 a.m. A winter retreat at Clear Lake Camp near Dowling is set for January 1-3 for the Sr. High Dept, of the Nashville Baptist Church. Over 50 youngsters already- have enrolled for the session. The program at the retreat will be “How to Improve Your Love Life”, offering com­ parisons of the Biblical view of love and the concept popularly portrayed by the media. The Adult Singles group of the Nashville Baptist Church enjoyed a November 22nd Thanksgiving gathering at the home of Mrs. Petie Latta of Nashville. After a delicious carry-in potluck dinner, the group adjourned to the church to join a sur­ prise birthday party for Mrs. Cathy Vessecchia. Later, the Singles returned to Mrs. Latta’s home for an evening of games and fellowship. Two weeks later, the group met again at the home of Mrs. Ann Miles of Nashville. A highlight of that gathering was the showing of favorite old movies. The films were obtained through a loan program from Willard Library in Battle Creek. Mr. and Mrs. Wallace (Elinore) Graham en­ tertained their family for a Thanksgiving buffet supper. Present were Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Graham, Stewart, Jr., and Elizabeth, from Ada, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Graham, Travis and Trent, from Vermontville; and Steven Graham and son Derek, local. Thanksgiving Day brought a new member to the Graham family — little Shawn'Michael, born at Pennock Hospital to Steven and Debra Graham.

The collection lines and lift stations will be built by Dunigan Bros., also of Jackson. The Nashville project calls for a new lagoon-andirrigation type treatment facility and will culminate a more than 10 year effort by the village to comply with updated state regulations which, since 1968, required removal of 80 percent of the phosphorous from the ef­ fluent discharged from Nashville’s present wastewater treatment plant into the Thornapple River. In addition, the extended system will serve 183 homes currently without municipal sewer service and another approximately 40 which have present septic systems running into storm drains flowing directly into the river or Quaker Brook. • A letter Monday from U.S. Congressman Howard Wolpe (D-3rd) to Nashville officials praised their persistence in getting the long awaited sewer project underway. “The enormous amount of paperwork and the patience required to complete the application process is a true test of civic commitment,” wrote Wolpe. “I know you must feel a well earned sense of pride as the ground breaking marks the beginning of a dream come true.” Wolpe’s letter was read by Vicki Levengood, the Congressman’s Barry County campaign coor­ dinator, at a luncheon which followed the formalities at the Community Center. Also speaking at the luncheon at the Steak House was State Senator RichardI Allen (R-30th), who said he Poinsettas Wreaths CenterpiecesFresh & Artificial Gifts Candles V 311 N.

Nashville. Tuesday. December 16. 1980 — Page 4 Community yuletide customs of long ago in Nashville Before Nashvilles new Methodist Church was built in 1881, annual M.E. Christmas programs were staged at the nearby opera house, constructed five years elarlier. Attendance was tremendous at Yuletide exercises staged by various local churches. Because few families then had Christmas trees at home, gifts often were placed under church trees and exchanged at these community holiday events. Christmas Day 1878, a program was staged at the local Christian Church (now Trinity Gospel on Washington St.) and many presents were distributed. Christmas night came a big gathering at the opera house sponsored by the Methodist Episcopal Church, less than a block distant. The opera house was packed. After a Christmas program of about an hour, the stage curtain rolled up to display a After more than a century of Yuletides, Nashville today retains much of the beautiful Christmas arch same flavor of early holidays.

With eager eyes and pounding hearts we will watch as each gift is passed out. Much thought, planning and love has gone into the selection of each gift so that it might meet the need and please its new owner. How disappointed and shocked we would be ifthe person for whom our gift was in­ tended should throw it to the floor, declare that he didn’t need or want it and hated you for your efforts to provide it for him. The Christmas season is more than Santa and the exchanging of gifts. It is the cele­ bration of the birth of Jesus Christ, who was sent by God the Father to die for the sins ofmankind. Instead of receiving God’s free gift of salvation and the forgiveness of sins, many people reject God’s gift, mock His crucified Son and declare they have no need of salvation. This Christmas I ask that you truthfully consider God’S gift of salvation and that you will receive Jesus as your Saviour. John 1:12; 3:16; Romans 3:23; 6:23.

Nothvillo. Tuetdoy. December 16. 1980 — Poge 8 M.V. eliminates seven teaching positions, makes program reductions It has become necessary to make program reductions in various areas considering the financial outlook for the Maple Valley School District, according to school officials General reductions in staff and program reductions are set to begin the second semester which begins January 19. This action is being taken at this time in an attempt to provide carry over funds to begin the 1981-82 school year, said school officials. Also, it is uncertain as to what percent of the state aid act will actually be paid out with further executive or­ ders reducing state aid anticipated. School districts, such as Maple Valley, relying heavily upon state aid dollars are placed in a very difficult situation considering the economic situation in the State of Michigan at this time. The state aid act which was approved shows a decrease of thirty percent reimbursement for tran sportation which amounts to a $47,310 loss for Maple Valley based upon last year’s allowance: This loss will most likely be greater considering increased operational costs this year. A further reduction in state aid allowance for special education in the amount of $10,045 is expected. It should be kept in mind that special education programs presently are mandatory under state guidelines. The school district membership has decreased sixty-nine students which represents $95,540.85 under the present state aid for­ mula. Section 27 debt retirement funds were eliminated entirely, and the school district received $40,214 last year through this program. The state aid act in recent years has provided for declining funds enrollment, but this section was eliminated this year. In August, an executive order was given by the Governor which resulted in a state aid loss of $26,302.25. These factors all necessitate reductions at this time, and it is hoped that adequate state funds will be received eliminating the need for any further reductions in programs this school year, school officials said. General reductions in program and operation total $73,426 and included: —Closing of two of the relocatable classrooms at the Jr.-Sr. High School. ($2,000.) —Elimination of any general fund expenditure for the support of spring sports. Therefore, spring sports are eliminated unless these sports are financially sup­ ported by the athletic boosters or other funds with the approval of the board of education. Total cost in­ volved including supplies and officials. Virginia Fox Nashville Chamber snaps pictures of Santa — This polaroid shot of Santa and two of his local friends, D.J.

When he entered the restaurant, Lewie was greeted with a chorus of ‘‘Happy Birthday” and presented' with a lovely chocolate cake baked by Lureen Thompson. Actually, Lewie’s birthday was Tuesday, December 9, but he said he intended to celebrate all week and in­ dicated Wednesday was the highlight. The lunch party was by Cathy Vessecchia.

Agent Dairying is one ofthe most important segments of Michigan’s agricultural economy, but consumers of dairy products don’t always understand how milk is marketed. Clarifying this sometimes complicated process is the aim of a special milk marketing seminar to be held in our area on January 16, 1981. The session will be at the Holiday Inn in Jackson. The program, which is intended for farm women as well as non-farm women, will begin at 9:30 a.m. and conclude by 3 p.m. It is sponsored by the Michigan For all your INSURANCE NEEDS See or Call...

The morning segment of the program features discussion on how milk is currently marketed and the relationship of the consumer to the dairy industry. Speakers for this segment of the program are Glynn McBride, MSU Extension agricultural economist, and Necia Sharkey and Bonnie Lynch, of the Michigan division of the American Dairy Association. The afternoon program has concurrent sessions on new and traditional dairy and farm products// management. The segment on dairy products will be conducted by Mary Zehner, MSU Extension consumer marketing specialist, and Gale Baumgardner, MSU Dairy specialist. The session on farm management, which will explain how to develop and understand a balance sheet and cash flow to determine a dairy operation’s net worth, will be conducted by Sherrill Nott, MSU Extension agricultural economist and MSU Agricultural Experiment Station Researcher.

Those who give gifts of $300 or more, memorials or dedications will be recorded and placed on a plaque at the shelter. In November, the humane society’s annual Christmas Bazaar at the Lansing Mall netted a total of $750, said Charles Joseph, Jr., the organization’s president. “As in the past our concern is for humane welfare and treatment of all creatures,” he said. The humane society spent approximately $1,800 during the past year to continue its work of providing food, housing, medical and emergency care to animals and their owners who have proved they had a need. The society’s goals for 1981 are to continue all of its past services, purchase more live traps for loan to the public through the Eaton County Animal Control and to continue to offer partial payment of spaying or nuetering of animals adopted through the Eaton County Animal Shelter. Certificates are available with details from the animal shelter when you adopt an animal. Joseph said, “Times have been hard for everyone during the past year but as always you, the citizens ofEaton County, have stepped forward and helped and we know you will continue to support your Eaton County Humane Society.” Memberships for 1981 are now due. The dues are $1 or more and may be mailed to the society’s treasurer Betty Strauss, 6885 Creyts Rd., Dimondale, Mi. 48821. In addition to Joseph and Strauss, other officers are Jeffery Sweet of Potterville, vice president; and Kathy Kueffner of Vermontville, secretary.

Many Nashville folks enjoyed the December 13-14 Christmas Open House at Charlton Park. Celebration of the holiday in an oldfashioned way was por­ trayed through traditional decorations and activities in the various historical buildings in Charlton Village. Caroling, cookie baking and candle making were highlights. Among local folks taking an active part in the events were Rev. E. F. Rhoades, who preached brief sermons both Saturday and Sunday at special Christmas services in the 1885 village church, and Mrs. Jane Shoup, who played piano for carol singing by the congregation. The aroma of fresh-baked cookies greeted visitors to the 1850 Bristol Inn, with its antique-furnished rooms beautifully trimmed for the holidays. Several other historic buildings also were open to the public, including the 1869 Lee School, the bank, hardware store, general store, and the blacksmith shop with a “smith” at work. Community Christmas Eve services will be held at 7 p.m. Tuesday, December 23, at the Nashville United Methodist Church. Highlighting the service will be a performance of the canata, “The Beginning of Christmas,” by members of the United Methodist choir and friends. The service is a combined observance by the local Assembly of God, Church of the Nazarene, and the United Methodist.

Expected to be present for the event are Pastor Roger and Norma Claypool, former local residents now of Abingdon, Virginia. A special invitation to attend the party is ex­ tended to the Claypools’ many local friends. In ad- Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. In many European countries, Santa Claus is unknown. It is the Christ Child who brings gifts to the children. This naturally 'keeps Christ in Christmas' and lessens the commercial aspect of the holiday. Singing of the beautiful Christmas carols is still an appropriate way to celebrate this joyous season.

Two weeks into a December Sunday School attendance campaign, the Senior High Dept, of the Nashville Baptist Church is leading the Junior High by four points. On December 14, the seniors had an at­ tendance of 67, which is 17 over average. The juniors had a total of 53 present for Sunday School, which is 13 over average. As their penalty for losing Sunday’s bout, four juniors and their leader Steve Knight had to be “Slaves - for - a Day”, complete with ball and chain. The youngsters who served as slaves were Brian Terpening, Darin Dotson, Eric Johnson, and Bret Wetzel. At the conclusion of the contest on December 28, the leader of the losing team for the month, either Mr. Knight or Pastor Don Roscoe, will swallow a live goldfish as the ultimate penalty.

Later, Evans stopped at your reporter’s home for a chit-chat on camera about the early Nashville News, and in particular, of its spunky first editor-publisher Orno Strong. A fiery 19-yearold of slight stature, Strong arrived in Nashville from Lawton in 1873 and founded the paper, a forerunner of the Maple Valley News, now in its 107th year of continuous publication. Evans also inquired about the early village and talked about our Memories series which have been a weekly feature in the News since December 1978.

This is the third installment of our series on Nashville’s early Yules.) JOHNSON’S FURNITURE 112 Main Street Nashville Mrs. Genevieve Lawrence of Hastings.) The year 1900 was one holiday season that par­ ticularly stands out in the mind of Clifford and his young aunt. “I still tease her about it,” says Brooks. That year, the two six year olds were photographed together near Thanksgiving time at the Nashville photographic studio of E. H. Van Nocker. After the photo session, the youngsters were taken to J. B. Kraft’s Grocery Store (1980 note: Kraft’s was located on the site that now is the north portion of the post office). “There we both were put on the scales,” recalls Clifford. “We weighed exactly the same. Mr. Kraft told us to come back at Christmas and get weighed again. He said he would give some candy to the one who weighed the most then.” Genevieve won the re­ match, and Clifford has chided her for the past 80 years that she purposely went home and stuffed herself to win the Christmas prize. William R. (Bill) Dean of Nashville recalls a Christ­ mas 65 years ago, a typical Yule holiday in the Dean family which consisted of his parents, William O. and May (Rowley) Dean; two brothers, George Allen and Kenneth; and a sister, Effa. The Dean family resided with May’s father, Allen Rowley, in the Rowley family home on the south­ west corner of the Reed and Middle streets intersection. (1980 note: This now is the residence of the John Hughes family.) “There was general ex­ citement among the four Dean children as Christmas 1915 approached,” remembers B. rememers Bill. On te the morning and afternoon of December 24, the youngsters busied themselves stringing popcorn and fashioning paper-string characters and snowflakes for the tree. Each also hung up one of their nice clean stockings for Santa to fill. “Our parents decorated the tree during the af­ ternoon, attaching the clamp-on candles last,” recalls Bill. “Father would light the candles for only a short time on Christmas and then blow them out.” The day before Christmas, Mrs. Dean was busy baking bread and cookies, storing the goodies in an old steamer and large crocks. Meanwhile, her husband, a carpenter by carpener y trade, rae, was making Christmas candy for the family. He was quite proficient at this, turning out hand-dipped fruits, fondant filled chocolates, gum drops and just about any kind of candy imaginable. In addition, Mrs. Dean also enjoyed cooking the holiday dinner for his family. Roast chicken and trimmings were the usual fare, since turkey was much more expensive then. “Around 6 p.m. Christmas Eve, everyone got dressed in their Sunday Best and went off to the Methodist Church for the Christmas program,” remembers Bill. Little Effa generally recited a poem at the exercises, or acted in a play, while her two brothers formed part of the children’s chorus. Of course, the conclusion of the program brought a special treat for all the children in attendance — individual boxes of Christ­ mas candy presented by the church. After the service, the Dean family returned home for family worship and prayer led by their father. “We could hardly wait to hurry off to bed,” recalls Bill, “as we knew we’d be getting up bright and early Christmas morning to see our gifts.” Just as dawn was breaking on Christmas morning, the four Dean children scurried down the stairs and into the parlor to discover their presents under the tree. As their eyes beamed with joy and voices rang with excitement, Mr. Dean was busy photographing his children with an old box-type camera with glass slide negatives. Those captured scenes live in memory as timeless as Christmas. Kenneth and G. Allen were busy checking out their new ice skates and sleds. Bill was operating his kerosene powered steam engine. Little Effa was admiring her new dolly, lying in a wooden cradle crafted by her father. There was also a table and chairs he had made for her. The boys received Christmas books, too; and then there were the bobsleds made by their father. These led to happy hours of sliding down Standpipe hill after repeated long treks to the top. In their stockings, the Dean children each found a shiny silver 50-cent piece, an orange and candy. Many of the more enduring toys have lasted through the years and still remain in the family. Today, they continue to bring joy by reflecting fond memories of the past. Family planning clinics set After posing for this unusual photo taken in 1900 at Van Nocker's Studio in Nashville, Clifford Brooks and his youthful aunt, Genevieve Archer, went to Kraft's Store for a weigh-in that generated a Thanksgiving to Christmas contest which still brings laughter 80 years later. In an out-of-the-ordinary role for early 20th century husbands, William O. Dean made Christmas candies and cooked the holiday dinner for his wife, the former May Rowley (shown here), their four children, and his father-in-law. In later years, Dean became known for his poetry and bee-keeping, and had his works published as "Rhymes of a Bee-Keeper."

Also participating in the session were four other engineers from the Grand Rapids firm.

The meeting followed the village council’s regular business session and was open to the public. “You can’t do a project of this size and not upset a few people,” said Bruce Kuffer, regional regional consultant consultant with with the the Grand Rapids engineering firm, “But we want to keep the problems at a minimum.” To accomplish this, this the engineers recommended at least one general in­ formational meeting for local residents. The date of that meeting has not been set, but Kuffer suggested it be held in February. “Effective communication is a critical factor in a successful project,” added Kuffer. He and Senior Project Manager William J. Latsch stressed the need for daily communications between the village and the con­ tractors on the project, via the engineers. “The contracts stipulate that Williams & Works is the village’s representative to the contractor,” explained Kuffer. “The documents also stipulate that Williams & Works is the contractor’s representative to the village.” Kuffer noted that it is equally important to maintain good com­ munications with individual property owners. He said it has been his firm’s ex­ perience that a high level of public understanding and cooperation can be achieved with comparatively small efforts before and during construction. Kuffer said the news media can be very helpful in this effort. He suggested periodic releases to keep the public posted on the progress of the project and to alert local residents to the times when they can expect specific village streets to be torn up. Kuffer added that residents also will need information on hookups to the system, since these are the responsibility of the individual property owners. The engineers Thursday also outlined for Nashville of­ ficials the responsibilities of the parties involved in the administration of the project and reviewed the procedure for change orders. They said a recent analysis of change orders on Williams & Works projects indicated four types: design changes resulting from plan interpretation; client (village) request; change in project scope; or ad­ justments at the end of the contract. “Some change orders increase the project costs,” noted Kuffer. “Others decrease the total amount.” All must be approved by the village council. To ex­ pedite communication on a daily basis, the council agreed Thursday that Village President Harold Christiansen will be the liaison between the engineers and the council. Construction of Nashville’s sewer expansion is expected to begin in January. Heavy equipment and materials already have begun arriving in the village. Contractors on the project are Dunigan Brothers, Inc., and Normco Construction Co., both Jackson-based firms. In addition to a new treatment facility, the ex­ pansion will provide wastewater collection service to 183 additional homes in the village. Also added to the new municipal system will be ap­ proximately 40 homes whose present septic systems run into storm drains flowing directly into Quaker Brook or Thornapple River. Federal and state grants will pay more than 80 per­ cent of the total project costs. Completion of the project is expected in about a year. Participating in Thur­ sday’s presentation, in addition to Kuffer and Latach, were Harlen W. Myers, Vice President of construction for Williams and Works and director of contract administration; Thomas W. Chettleburgh, field project engineer; and Steven J. Heilman, resident project representative. A In other business Thur­ sday, the council: —Unanimously rejected a suggestion from the State Highway Dept, that parking be banned on the east side of North Main Street between Kellogg Street and Brumm Road. No reason for the proposed ban was offered in the communication from the state official suggesting the change. —Approved closing village hall at noon on both Christmas Eve, December 24, and New Year’s Eve, December 31. The hall also will be closed on both holidays. a —Approved $20 Christmas bonus for 10 village employees. The bonus will be in the form of scrip to be spent in local stores.

The baskets were prepared at the school, headquartered in the old Methodist parsonage on Washington Street, and delivered by the children to the nutrition site in the Masonic Temple on Main Street. Each senior citizen at the noon dinner received a basket. In addition, other baskets were provided by the youngsters to be delivered to local shut-ins who receive daily meals in their homes through the Council on Aging nutrition program. In return for their thoughtfulness, the children were treated by the senior citizens to refreshements of punch and cookies. Mrs. Thelma Stewart, a regular at the Site, had four great-grandchildren in the group of nursery school tots who surprised the seniors with Christmas baskets Tuesday.

Several mothers also accom­ panied the children on their visit to the Site. After the repast, Pastor Steven Reid lead the group in singing Christmas carols. The third annual Christ­ mas party at the Nashville Senior Citizens’ Nutrition Site was staged Tuesday evening. A main course of turkey and dressing was furnished by the Site’s special events fund to which the senior citizens all con­ tribute. An appealing and delicious array of covered dishes brought by those attending the dinner comprised the balance of the holiday menu, served buffet style. Each senior citizen was encouraged to bring a guest to share in the repast. Also present for the occasion were personnel from the Barry County Council on HAPPY 40th. BIRTHDAY DAD Love...Sandy, Denise & Dan Aging office and its director, Mrs. Eloise Wolf of Hastings. After the dinner, Pastor Steven Reid and his father, Don Reid, both of Hastings, entertained by leading the group in Christmas carols. The Reids also sang a duet, with piano accompaniment by Don. Later, Steven asked those present to recall their most memorable Christmas gift. Some of the seniors shared these thoughts with others. Most of the memories centered around the health and welfare of loved ones, and had little to do with material items.

Both the morning and afternoon sessions enjoyed experiencing traditional holiday customs of Mexico. A dinner of tacos and sombrero cookies kicked off the festivities for the class. Next, the children and their teacher performed their version of the jarabe tapatio (Mexican Hat Dance). The youngsters also have learned about the posada, a series of ceremonies enacted by Mexicans on the nine nights before Christmas to portray the .journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem. Another Mexican custom learned by the kin­ dergartners was the pinata game, a special children’s treat which follows each nightly posada. The Mexicans fashion pinatas of papier-mache, usually in the form of animals, and fill them with candies and other goodies. The pinata then is suspended from the ceiling and the youngsters, generally blindfolded, take turns trying to break it open with a stick. The Maplewood students took, their cracks at their Each child had two wacks at the elusive pinata, fashioned by the youngsters and filled with candy treats. Wearing an authentic Mexican sombrero to Tuesday's event was Debbie Villanueva, whose grandparents are natives of that country. She brought several Mexican artifacts to the party to share with the others. The hat was a gift from Debbie's grandmother. handmade pinata with a baseball bat and with eyes wide open. Suspended from a basketball backboard in the gymnasium, the pinata took two wacks from every child in class and still remained intact. However, it soon was knocked to the floor and a few more whacks revealed, the treasure. Delighted youngsters scrambled to claim the treats. Not forgotten were several of the students’ younger brothers and sisters who, with their mothers, were guests at Maplewood’s own Mexican Christmas party. The little one also received pinata candy.

Monday, December 22, 1980 — Page 9 Pinatas add a little spice to the season for Spanish class The Village Pantry By Lana Oster With just a few days remaining until Christmas, everyone is checking their lists to make sure they haven’t forgotten anyone. It’s not hard to, at least at my house because I have a large number of people I like to remember each year, and last minute gifts are the hardest to find. So, here’s a down to the wire mitten pattern that’s easy to make. The pattern is for a size medium mitten. You’ll need two (2) crochet Taking top honors with her horse was Yvonne Eckelbecker (left), while Pam Erwin Jiooks, sizes G and a no. 1 took fifth place with her colorful peacock. steel. The palm is worked first: ch. 79, ch. 1 and turn. sgl. cro. 8, si. st. 6, sgl. cro. 24, si. st. 3, sgl. cro. 24, si. st. 6, sgl. cro. 8, ch. 1 and turn. Repeat this pattern for thirteen rows and you’ll have two sides of the mitten with palms and wrist cuffs. When you have completed row thirteen, ch. 1 and turn and begin the thumb section: sgl. cro. 8, si. st 6, sgl. cro. 10, ch. 21. Connect the ch. 21 to the opposite side of the mitten by folding the mitten in half and counting 10 stitches from the last si. st. on that side. Be sure to always count the stitches as you crochet to make an even mitten. After connecting the ch. 10, con- tinue back down that side: sgl. cro. 9, si. st. 6, sgl. cro. 8, ch. 1 and turn. Repeat this pattern for five (5) rows and then tie off. All that’s left to do is just crochet the sides up and turn right side out. Add your own touches such as embroidered names, bells, appliques, etc. This pattern can be altered for smaller hands by evenly reducing the number of stitches chained at the very beginning. I found out another nifty trick lately. Do you like orange juice? Most people do, but getting kids to drink it can be a tiring effort. So, take the can of orange juice, reduce the amount of water called for in the recipe and put it into either an ice cube tray or “Ice Tups’’ by Tupperware. It’s a neat and easy way to get kids, to “drink” their juice and it’s an easy substitute for those sweet attacks!

Bp Bta W,«l ' » at 'iilfiiSl nW ptgi Nash sponsors drunk driving bill The Legislature has ap­ proved a major overhaul of the state’s drunk driving statute for the first time since the law went into effect 31 years ago. The four-bill package, sponsored by a former state trooper, State Represen­ tative Ernie Nash (RDimondale), was approved by the House late Wednesday and sent to the Governor for his signature. The legislation will clarify language in laws related to drunk driving, stiffen penalties for offenders, broaden enforcement of­ ficers’ authority to make warrantless arrests at the scene of a traffic accident and allow a new form of evidence to be used in court to help juries determine whether a person was operating a vehicle while intoxicated. The measures apply to persons driving snowmobiles and off-road vehicles in addition to automobiles while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. “Some aspects of the present statute are vague, and some are inconsistent, making it very difficult to deal with this very serious problem,” Nash said. “I believe that we have made a major step towards reducing the problem of drunk driving by passing these bills.” Nash said he was especially pleased with one section of the bill which will allow as evidence the fact that a person charged with drunk driving refused to take a chemical test. Presently, such information cannot be used against a defendant in court The new changes in the Motor Vehicle Code, which will take effect April 1, 1981, include: DirW ,j is?? IW*?, iir j pe * .k'AH’L vf* ’*‘rk‘S te^J1 J - xafcl* five minutes out of each thirty-minutes. Be sure that the exhaust pipe is not plugged with snow! • If more than one person is in the car, try to have at least one person awake at all times. Huddle to keep warm. • Ration your food and drink — use NO ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES. • If you have a CB Radio, call for help but do not stay on the radio constantly for it will wear the battery down. • Keep all lights off (to save your battery), unless you hear rescuer’s nearby. Then use your horn with three groups of three honks. Here’s hoping you are never stranded on the road in a snowstorm. But if you are, remember these safety suggestions. HAPPY YULETIDE — Increasing the maximum penalty for drunk drivers to a minimum of $100 and a maximum of $500, andor a maximum jail term of 90 days for a first offender. Presently, the minimum­ maximum range is $50-$100. Also, persons while impaired due to the consumption of alcohol — a .07 to .099 per­ cent alcohol content in the blood — can be fined up to $300. The present fine is a maximum of $100. — Authorizing enforcement officers to make warrantless arrests of persons involved in ac­ cidents on any public road or parking lot when they suspect the driver has been drinking. Presently, officers may arrest only drunk driving suspects without a warrant if the accident occurs on a public highway. —Expanding the areas a driver is subject to “implied consent for chemical tests” to “any area open to the general public.” The present law indicates that only drivers operating vehicles on a public highway are subject to “implied consent”. —Allowing an enforcement officer, if he or she has a court order, to give a chemical test to persons who refuse to take one. Currently, a test cannot be administered if the subject refuses to participate. —Eliminating saliva tests as a method for determining the alcohol content of a person’s blood, and keep blood, urine and breath tests as methods for determining levels of intoxication. —Authorizing the State Police to set forth rules for administering chemical tests to determine whether a person is driving under the influence of alcohol. Technically, the authority falls under the auspices of the Department of Public Health) even though the State Police perform the function. —Prohibiting a person driving a snowmoible or off­ road vehicle from operating that vehicle while being under the influence of alcohol or controlled sub­ stances. These substances are currently not mentioned in the Motor Vehicle Code. —Prohibiting the owner or person in charge of a snowmobile or off-road vehicle from authorizing a person under the influence of alcohol or drugs to drive the vehicle. Presently, only the owner is prohibited from allowing an intoxicated person from operating a vehicle. Merry Christmas and Best Wishes ...from...

Love, Arnie Sports Valley boys split weeks contests Carson City scored 30 points in the fourth quarter, 20 of those at the free throw line, to deal Maple Valley their third loss of the season, Friday, 74-59. Lion coach Jerry Reese watched his counter part, Ed Howes the coach of Carson City, ejected on technical fouls in the first half, and then put tape over his mouth to keep himself from the same fate. “The officials definitely made their mark on the game,” Reese said. “I think they made it up to him (Howes) in that last quar­ ter.” Lion players Jeff Beebe, Walt Maurer and Terry Pierce all left the game early in the fourth period on fouls. John Kent and Pat Kerges, the other two starters, both ended the game with four fouls. “The whole game was at the foul line,” Reese said. “The game was really a lot closer than the score in­ dicates.” Three Lions hit the double figure mark in scoring. Kerges led with 20 points, and Kent and Beebe each tallied 11. The Lions entered the final period down by 5 points, and were outscored 30-20. The score at halftime had the Eagles of Carson City on top, 33-30. Dave Dykehouse scored 21 points to lead the Eagles, 17 of those from the charity stripe. Steve Proctor added 19 to the winning cause. The evening was not a total loss for the Lion side. Mrs. Reese won a Carson City Athletic Booster raffle drawing and came home with a $200 Christmas present. On Tuesday of last week the Lions used the free throw themselves, topping Montabella, 68-65. The Lions hit 14 of 17 free throws in the fourth quarter to help sustain the slim three point lead they acquired in the third period. Beebe led the Lions in scoring dropping in 14 points. Kerges tossed in 13 and Pierce scored 11 to help the Lions to their second win. Marty Raglin led Montabella with 34 points, hitting 16 of 22 field goal attempts and two free throws. The Lions break for the holidays, and see action again on Jan. 9, when they travel to Lakeview. Valley freshman top Olivet The Maple Valley fresh­ man basketball team broke out of their shell defeating Olivet 49-40. The Lions overcame a 14 point deficite in the first half to lead 25-24 at half. They played even a stronger second half and bested Olivet. Leading the Lions were Jeff Starring, 16 points; Lester Cauldwell with 14 points and Luke Potter, 11 points. Potter also lead the Lions in rebounds with 11. The Lion’s record is now 1­ 3 on the season. Coach Desrochers would like to thank all the parents and players for their support and hard work. I would like to wish the team good luck for the rest of the season. Frosh drop third— The Maple Valley fresh­ man basketball team dropped its third straight to Bellevue 54-47. Leading the Lions were Jeff Starring with 17 points and Lester Cauldwell with 13 points. Jeff Starring also led all rebounders with 16, Chris Barton added 13 and Luke Potter with 14. The Lions played a super strong game and again the superior height advantage took its toll.

Michigan 49058 PHONE 945-9554 (Area Code 616)' Revised unemployment insurance approved by House The first major revision of the state’s unemployment insurance system in five years effectively eliminates unreasonable costs to em­ ployers while boosting benefits, State Represen­ tative Ernest W. Nash (RDimondale) said Thursday, following unanimous ap­ proval by the House. The measure moved quickly in the House after Governor Milliken and legislative leaders unveiled a compromise plan to reform both workers’ and unem­ ployment compensation laws that has eluded, the Legislature for the last decade. The unemployment compensation bill was immediately sent to the Senate for concurrence. It was the first of the two bills approved that must both be passed to accomplish reform of the outmoded systems. “This bill takes care of the majority of abuses in the unemployment compensation system,” Nash said. “We’ve tightened eligibility requirements substantially and have raised the benefit levels unemployed workers have been getting for the first time since 1975. “I’m very pleased with the final form this bill has taken. At long last, people who voluntarily quit their jobs won’t be able to collect unemployment. Voluntary quits, have cost business hundreds of millions of dollars and the whole issue has colored our ability to attract new business to the state. “Iii the past employers have also had to pay minimum benefits to former workers that were in some cases higher than their weekly wage. Under this bill, that inequity has also been taken care of.” Representative Nash also said the bill represents significant benefits for unemployed workers. “We have the most severe unemployment problem in the nation,” Nash said, “Yet the men and women of this state who have lost their jobs VITA needs volunteers to help others file returns Detroit, MI. — Volunteers are needed to help others with their tax returns as part of VITA, the Volunteer In­ come Tax Assistance program sponsored by the Internal Revenue Service, the IRS said. In the VITA program, volunteers are recruited to provide free assistance to taxpayers unable to pay to have their tax returns prepared. VITA volunteers, frequently college students, law students, or members of professional business organizations, receive a three-to-five day training course in basic income tax law and return preparation, the IRS said. VITA in­ structors and training materials are provided free by the IRS. Training is conducted at a location convenient to volunteers and instructors, generally starting in late December and continuing through January of each year. VITA volunteers assist taxpayers, often lower in­ come, handicapped or non­ English speaking individuals, who need explanations of the special credits and deductions for which they may qualify. VITA programs can be sponsored by local civic or fraternal organizations, educational institutions, churches, and social groups. For the convenience of taxpayers who cannot travel to an IRS office, most VITA volunteers provide assistance in their own neighborhoods at schools, churches, and libraries. Persons or organizations interested in the VITA program should call the tollfree telephone number listed in their telephone directory, and ask for Helen Madro, taxpayer education coor­ dinator. have been hardly able to make ends meet on the unemployment payments they receive now. Unem­ ployment insurance is just that — insurance that anyone out of a job will have help through the rough period, and I’m pleased that we’ve _ increased the maximum benefits from $136 to $182.” Nash said other features of the bill would: — Require woikers to earn the equivalent of 20 times the state minimum wage for 18 weeks before qualifying for unemployment benefits. — Allow claimants to quit unsuitable work within 30 days without being subject to a penalty for voluntary quitting. — Set the maximum benefit level at 58 percent of the state’s weekly wage (which effectively indexes the benefit). — Sunset the bill so it expires April 1, 1983. “I think the compromise is economically balanced, and while it may not completely please everyone, it certainly defends the interests of both employers and employees far better than our present law,” Nash said. The bill will go into effect March 1, 1981 if it is passed by the Senate and signed into law. TELEPHONES FOR DEAF - More than 600,000 Michigan citizens suffering from hearing handicaps will have much greater access to telephone communication, under legislation which passed both houses of the state Legislature last week. A special monthly rate will be set by the Public Service Commission for hearing impaired persons wishing to purchase the service. The exact cost of the teletype equipment will vary in different areas of the state. BUDGET APPROVED - An extremely lean 1980-81 budget passed the Legislature last week. The new $4.5 billion budget is more than $400 million less than last year’s spending plan, and every area of state government is affected by the new budget targets. Let’s hope things pick our economy up this year. VOTERS DECIDE - Last week, three state represen­ tatives — two Republicans and one Democrat — unveiled plans for an unusual proposal that would allow Michigan citizens an opportunity to vote this summer on the degree of property tax relief they want The lawmakers plan to in­ troduce two resolutions in early 1981 to give voters a chance to decide whether they want substantial property tax relief, moderate property tax relief or no property tax relief at all. The cut would be about a 55-60 percent reduction in property tax bills, but voters could also choose to temper the $1.3 billion that would bring with a 1.5 cent increase in the four percent sales tax. DRUNK DRIVING - The Legislature has approved a major overhaul of the state’s drunk driving statute for the first time since the law took effect 31 years ago. The legislation will clarify language in laws related to drunk driving, stiffen penalties for offenders, broaden en­ forcement officers’ authority to make warrantless arrests at the scene of a traffic accident and allow a new form of evidence to be used in court to help juries determine whether a person was operating a vehicle while intoxicated. PRISON OVERCROWDING - The Governor will have emergency powers to reduce sentences and take other measures in the case of prison overcrowding, under a bill which passed the Legislature last week. Our state’s prisons are presently about 1,000 inmates over capacity. BUCK IMPROVEMENT - The recently-completed firearm deer season ranks as the fifth best ever. Experts believe that good weather and a Saturday opening day combined to make for ideal hunting conditions and they believe hunters stayed in the northern part of the state longer than in past years. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Monday, December 22, 1980 — Page 15 Control weeds in alfalfa before snow Snowmen come to life at Fuller At the finale, the cast sang, "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." Space did not permit the use of these pictures in last week's issue with the story of the play about three snowmen who came to the aid of Santa Claus on Christmas eve, Alfalfa growers still have time to take weed control measures before the ground freezes or snow covers the fields. Many weeds in alfalfa — including quackgrass, chickweed and henbit — are best controlled in the fall. According to Allen Krizek, Eaton County Extension Director, good weed control increases forage quality. This, in turn, saves money by reducing the need for offfarm protein supplements for high milk-producing cows. Weeds compete with alfalfa for water and nutrients. If allowed to take over, they reduce .the productivity and shorten the life of the stand. And when the stand is gone, it doesn’t come back. If a stand has less than two or three alfalfa plants per square foot, it is probably not worthwhile to treat it. It would be better to reestablish the crop next summer. For quackgrass, Krizek recommends the herbicide Kerb. Because it is volatile and will escape into the air if applied to warm ground, the best time to apply it is just after the last cutting and before the ground freezes. For annual broadleaved weeds like chickweed and henbit, such herbicides as Princep, Sencor-Lexone or Sinbar may be used. Princep should be used if the crop was planted by June 1,1980. Like Kerb, it should already have been applied. However, it also may be applied unil the ground freezes solid. Sencor-Lexone and Sinbar are used on well established stands. They are applied while the alfalfa is dormant. Attention Senior Citizens FOR SALE: Wolverine water softener, natural gas trailer furnace. Call 374-8677, , Lake Odessa.

The statue was presented to the library as a Christmas gift from the local Friends of the Library group.

APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE An over-Christmas visitor at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Nashville and vicinity experienced a traditional White Christmas, after a 2inch layer of fluff blanketed the area early Wednesday. The snow remained throughout the holiday, much to the delight of youngsters who discovered new sleds or skis under the Yule tree. While Michigan motorists found roads somewhat hazardous, conditions did not appear to seriously hamper travel to and from local family gatherings. Many happy reunions were enjoyed on both the eve and day of Christmas. One local family whose holiday plans were affected by the wintery blast was Mr. and Mrs. Fred (Marguerite) Ackett, who had expected her son to arrive from his home near Detroit. Because of the blustery conditions there, he phoned to postpone the visit until New Year’s weekend. Fred and Marguerite spent Christmas Day with her daughter Florence and family, the Herbert Hillards of near A Charlotte. second gathering was set for Sunday with daughter Audrey and family, the Clare Stewards, also of rural Charlotte.

Mrs. Hinckley who is the Nashville correspondent for the Maple Valley News appeared on Channel 8 last week in a segment of Dick Evans' "On The Michigan Road" series. In the photo, Mrs. Hinckley is shown as she was being interviewed by Evans during the taping of the segment by cameraman George Marczewski. For the program, Evans and Mrs. Hinckley discussed the early Nashville News and its spunky first editor-publisher. Orno Strong. Strong was a fiery 19-year old of slight stature when he arrived in Nashville in 1873 and founded the paper, a forerunner of the Maple Valley News, now in its 107th year of publication. Mrs. Hinckley has done extensive research of stories that were published in the early Nashville News for her own "Memories of the Past" feature which appears weekly in the Maple Valley News.

That’s easy, ac­ cording to Eaton Extension Home Economist, Ann Ross. Just remember all those nifty small appliances you have tucked away in the cupboards. Your kitchen range probably uses the most amount of energy possible. So whenever you can use a small appliance instead, you could be saving money. A microwave oven uses less energy than the range. Next in line is a crockpot which can cook a full meal for a few cents. If you plan to fry — your electric fry pan uses less than a top burner on the range. Water heated for coffee in an electric coffee pot saves overheating it on top of the range. There are ways to decrease kitchen energy use. How-many can you and your family invent? You can save on the energy used even in your range oven. Fill it up when you use it— cook many foods at once. Also potatoes baked on 'aluminum spikes are ready in shorter time. And remember your oven bakes long after it is turned off. Plan to shut it off about 15 minutes before most foods are ready. Just don’t open the door for too many “peeks”. A pressure cooker is an energy saver. If you have one standing idle, begin putting it to everyday use!

Baker is one of rags to riches and back again, with plenty of adventure to spare along the way. In fact, the life of the early Nashville merchant was so exciting that some who now remember him believe he should have chronicled his exploits in a book. The Nashville News captured a few Baker episodes over the years, as' seen in this December 1902 example: “Fred G. Baker returned yesterday from Chicago, mighty glad to be safely back home. He stayed over the weekend in the Lincoln Hotel, scene of the disastrous Monday morning fire, and was one of those who escaped only by jum­ ping from a third floor window into a fireman’s net.” A year later, Fred’s itchy feet had taken him south of the border. “Fred G. Baker, who is vacationing in Mexico, sends the News an excellent description of a bullfight in Juarez,” noted the local press. Baker was a multi-faceted man who could parlay a handful of pencils into a full­ blown retail business selling all sorts of merchandise. But money was a commodity to be spent and enjoyed in Baker’s world, and his profits were short-lived. “He could have been the richest man in town, if he could have stayed aWay from the horse tracks,” observes Vern Staup of Nashville, who worked for Baker as a 16-year-old store hand. At that time, about 1920, the erstwhile merchant­ adventurer had two local enterprises: a grocery located in the Buston Building (now Nashville Flowers & Jewelry! and a general merchandise store in the Hurd Block (now Johnson’s Furniture). Baker’s frequent trips to the Windy City helped him stock his local stores with bargains purchased sight­ unseen at unclaimed freight and bankruptcy auctions and fire sales there. “He wouldn’t know what he’d bought until he got home,” remembers Staup. “The merchandise from Chicago came in wooden boxes four to five feet high and about as wide. They were shipped to Nashville by rail and hauled by dray to the store.” One of Staup’s duties was helping unpack the huge crates, always an exciting experience. One incident, in particular, stands out in Staup’s memory. He was alone in a semi-darkened backroom at the store, prying open a recently delivered crate. “I reached in and thought I had hold of the hand of a corpse,” says Staup. “It made my hair stand on end.” Quickly running to turn on the lights, Staup discovered upon closer inspection that one of Baker’s mystery purchases was an artificial arm with hand attached.

Among the treasures were a gold watch and a wide western-belt, which Baker gave to his young helper. Several consecutive shipments of exquisite Haviland china to Baker’s store brought Nashville’s elite to his doorstep. “He had bought the china cheap because it had gotten wet blue tissue paper stuck to it,” recalls Staup. “I can still see it now.” Wooden barrel upon wooden barrel of dishes arrived at Baker’s place. “Most of the upper crust in town had a set of Haviland,” recollected Staup. “They’d be there as soon as another shipment came in. We had to lock the door to get the barrels unpacked.” All ofthe same pattern, the china was acquired by Baker for abbut 15 cents a piece, Staup recalls, and sold for about 20 cents each. Baker’s business savvy was to buy cheaply and pass the savings on to his customers. Time and time again, Baker’s stores failed, but that never deterred him from making a comeback. ‘‘Proceedings in bankruptcy have been started against Fred G. Baker,” noted the News in early February 1901. A month later, he headed west along with Ira Baker and Leon Moore to “seek their fortunes.” Within six months, Fred was back in business in Nashville, as evidenced by this mid-September 1901 News announcement: “Fred Baker has returned from Chicago with a large stock of merchandise, which he will display and sell in the store room of the Union House.” (1980 note: This was an early hotel located in what now is Central Park.) The next year; Baker bought out the grocery and crockery stock of a Main Street merchant named Wells and added it to his already - existing fruit stand operation. “Fred operated in just about every location on Main Street, at one time or another,” says Staup. In 1903, the adventurous merchant continued to ex­ pand his Nashville enterprise and also owned a store in Grand Rapids. “Fred Baker of the Baker Mercantile Co. has added meats to his diversified line of merchandise, installing a meat case and cooler and making connections to buy from Swift & Co. of Chicago,” noted the News in­ April. By December, the local paper had a notice of another sort to print: “Fred Baker is busted again. His two stores here and his place of. There was scarcely a location up and down Nashville's Main Street where Fred Baker had not done business. The oft-bankrupt merchant always bounced back in q new setting, offering diversified bargains purchased at Chicago auctions. Starting at least years before this 1906 scene. Baker continued his Nashville enterprise into the early 1940's. business in Grand Rapids have been closed by creditors and merchandise will be sold at sheriffs sale to satisfy in part the many creditors.” Less than three years later, Fred was again making ' local news by opening for business on Main Street. “He calls his place The Exchange and will handle about everything, par­ ticularly second hand goods,” advised the News in February 1906. In April, Baker initiated a bicycle rental service at his store with “six fine new wheels available for char­ tering at 10 cents per hour.” By August, he had relocated in another building after a buying spree in Chicago. Those purchasing excursions have a special place in the memory of Fay Hummel of Hastings. As a young lad growing up in Nashville, he was one of several local boys who often shared Baker’s adventures as his guests. The trips to Chicago were by train, and Fred never took the boys to the racetrack. “I remember that he> left me at the railroad station (in Chicago) with a couple of dollars to spend,” recalls Hummel. “When he returned he had such a big roll of bills he couldn’t get both hands around it.” The next day, Fred treated his young guest to a tour of the Field Museum and an outing at White City Amusement Park, where they rode the roller coaster and other exciting rides. “He showed the kids a good time when he had the money,” says Hummel. But Baker didn’t always come back from the track with money. “He didn’t have much luck in later years,” recalls Hummel. “He would go busted. Then he’d start buying scrap rags, rubber and metals to accumulate enough money to open another store.” Fred never married and his only close relatives were two aunts who lived on the northwest corner of the Queen and Maple Streets intersection. Baker often slept on a cot in the back room of his stores and took his meals at local restaurants. From his aunts, Baker had inherited two diamond rings that stand out in Vern Staup’s memory. The jewelry was repeatedly pawned when Fred was down and out. Staup recalls one such occasion. His Fred G. Baker led an adventurous life. Along the way, he opened new horizons for many young Nashville lads. Baker died in 1945 at age 79. employer had gone to Chicago by train but arrived home on a newly acquired motorcycle. “He ran it all the way to Nashville in second (gear),” says Staup. “He claimed it went too fast in first.” Shortly thereafter, Fred hot a hankering to go east to the racetracks in the Maryland area, proposing to make the long journey on his new motorcycle. He asked Vern to accompany him. “We got as far as Blissfield, about 110 miles from Nashville,” remem­ bers Staup. “The going was so rough, we had walked nearly as much as we rode. So I caught a train back home.” Fred, however, continued to Maryland where he subsequently lost the cycle to gambling, then wired home for Vern to send the diamond rings. Staup wasn’t in on a similar trip to California, but he recollects hearing tales of it. A local lad named Cordy Bailey accompanied Fred on the train trip west, where Baker lost most of his money. With the little cash he had left, he acquired a horse and wagon and the two headed for Michigan. “On the way home, the horse wore out,” says Staup. “So they turned it loose and thumbed their way back to Nashville.” Hopping rails hobo-style is often credited to Baker by many who remember him, but Hummel claims he always rode first class on the Chicago trips. Though declining gradually, Fred’s Nashville enterprise remained in operation into the early 1940’s. He was then in his mid-70’s. When Baker died in November 1945, Vern Staup served as a pallbearer. “He was pretty down and out before his death,” recalls Stayp. “He didn’t have anything and was in ill health.” Still, many happy Nash­ ville memories are evoked by the name Fred Baker. Though poor at his death, his legacy may be richer than known. Such things cannot always be measured in dollars. Baker was born in New York in 1867 and came to Nashville in 1883.

Isabelle Seitz ALIEN REGISTRATION Governor Milliken has declared January, 1981, as Alien Address Report Month. Though aliens are required under a 1952 federal law to report his or her address during January’ each year, many do not. Aliens must register at any Post Office or Im­ migration and Naturalization Service even if they have not moved within the past year. NUCLEAR POWER - Governor Milliken has announced that emergency preparedness plans for all three of Michigan’s operating nuclear power plants have been tested and approved. Michigan was the second state in the nation to prove its ability to respond to a nuclear power plant accident last June when the Consumers Power Company Big Rock Point near Charlevoix was tested. DRUNK DRIVERS - The Legislature has approved a major overhaul of the state’s drunk driving statute for the first time since the law went into effect 31 years ago. The legislation will clarify language in laws related to drunk driving, stiffen penalties for offenders, broaden enforcement officers’ authority to make warrantless arrests at the scene of a traffic accident and allow a new form of evidence to be used in court to help juries determine whether a person was operating a vehicle while intoxicated. The Governor is expected to sign the bills soon. PARENTS’ RIGHTS - Stepparents will have a greater opportunity to adopt their spouse’s child if it can be proven that the other parent has shown little interest in the child’s welfare for at least two years, under a bill recently approved by the Legislature. The bill will allow probate judges to terminate all rights of parents not living with the child if they have failed for two years to provide regular or sub­ stantial support for the child, arid have failed to com­ municate with the child over that time. LAND ACQUISITION - Trustees of the Michigan Land Trust Fund Board have tentatively approved a list of 21 recreational land acquisition projects to be purchased by the state with royalties from oil and gas wells on state-owned land. Formal approval of the list is expected January 6, when the Board meets to forward their recommendations to the Legislature.

According to Glynn Mc­ Bride, Michigan State University agricultural economist, getting a handle on these two areas will make the dairy outlook for 1981 and beyond much clearer. “Increases in milk For all your INSURANCE NEEDS See or Call... TERESA JONES production over a year earlier started in early 1979 and have continued through 1980,” McBride says. He notes that, on July 1, the number of milk cows on farms was up 1 percent and replacement heifers were up 7 percent over the year before. The feed situation and milk prices were both favorable to the dairy in­ dustry. However, while milk production was rising, the demand for milk and other dairy products was decreasing as a result of a weakened economy and lower prices for pork and poultry, which were vfuto-Owners Insurance Vermontville Ph. 517-726-0634 or 7264580 milk. The current feed situation is less favorable than last year’s and will limit gains in milk output per cow. However, replacement heifers are in great supply and the herd size is in­ creasing, so overall milk production in 1981 will be possibly 1 to 3 percent higher than 1980 levels. Prices will continue to reflectthe support level at 80 percent of parity at least through September 1981. “The most likely out­ come,” McBride says, “is for slightly more milk to be produced in 1981 than in 1980 and for prices to continue strong for most bf the year.” Agriculture policy outlook for '81 by John Baer, Extension Agricultural Agent TRUMBLE AGENCY probably substituted for dairy products. An oversupply of milk was inevitable. Price increases slackened and the market price lagged behind the support level. The Commodity Credit Corp, bought up the excess butter, cheese and nonfat milk powder. The ' present dairy legislation and amendments to it expire in September, and dairy legislation next year is uncertain. It is ex­ pected, however, that the price to be effective April 1, 1981, will be 6 to 9 percent above the present level of $12.80 per hundredweight of When the Reagan ad­ ministration moves into Washington, there may be some changes in the Food and Agricultural Act of 1981. Major changes, however, are not expected. Some current activities will help shape, if not dic­ tate, future agricultural production patterns. Ronald Cotterill, Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service agricultural economist, believes that federal com­ modity price support and acreage control initiatives will be mothballed. For the second straight year, wheat producers will not be asked to set aside EWING WELL DRILLING acreage. The loan rate for what placed under ninemonth contracts is currently $3 per bushel, up from $2.35 per bushel last year. Congress recently passed, and President Carter is expected to sign, a bill providing a $3.30 per bushel loan rate for 1980 or 1981 wheat placed in the thi*eeyear, farmer-owned reserve. Release and call levels for new placements are $4.20 per bushel and $5.25 per bushel, respectively. The target price for wheat will be at least $3.81 per bushel, but prices are not likely to drop below this level during the coming year. Therefore, no deficiency payments are likely. For corn, the cutlook is similar. There will be ho set­ aside for feed grains in 1981. The laon rate for corn placed under nine-month contracts is currently $2.35 per bushel. The recent legislation will increase the loan rate to $2.40 per bushel for 1980 and 1981 corn placed in the threeyear, farmer owned reserve. Release and call levels for new placements, are $2.81 per bushel and $3.26 per bushel. The soybean loan rate was recently raised to $5.02 per bushel. Other far-reaching policy development during 1980 include the passage of a comprehensive federal crop insurance program and increases in the secretary of agriculture’s discretionary authority over release and call levels in the farmerowned grain reserves-. The secretary also has authority to create “trade suspension or alcohol processor grain reserves” in the event of new embargoes on U.S. grain exports.

In mid-January the FOL plans to conduct a contest to select an appropriate title for the wooden man. Fifth and sixth graders in the Nashville area, including students in private as well as public schools, will be in­ vited to participate in the competition. Preliminary plans call for the youngsters to deposit their suggested name entries in a ballot box at the library. Details of prizes have not yet been worked out by the FOL, but they are expected to be announced next month. The FOL decided to limit the name contest to fifth and sixth graders, since they were not included in a recent FOL-sponsored bookmark design contest which en­ compassed the lower elementary grades. Mary (left) and Joy demonstrate the versatility of the e wooden man, whose hinged limbs allow him to serve as a small end table, bench or coat rack.

Dupin, an evangelist from Kernersville,, N.C. who brings his well-organized revival effort to communities only by request, was asked to conduct a crusade in Charlotte by The Key to Life Organization, formed in 1951. Dupin told the crowd that he expects a “great spiritual awakening here,” especially if we pray together, work together and get enthusiastic together; we can see a tremendous moving of God. He said that in a time of frightening global insecurity, runaway inflation and widespreadimmorality, he detects an increasing demand for evangelism. “I do not believe that politicians have the answer. I do not believe that psychologists have the an­ swer. I do not believe that social scientists have the answer. The Bible still speaks. The Bible has the answer.” In contrast to the selfcenteredness of the 1970’s (the “Me Decade”), Dupin said he will bring a message of “reaching out to others, a message of help, love, and forgiveness.” The tall evangelist, who started preaching at age nine and pastored a large church in Evansville for 10 years, promised that his crusade will not indulge in theological hair-splitting. He intends to concentrate on the teachings ofJesus Christ and The Bible. “Christ is the answer. The Bible is still relevant to most of the needs of - this generation,” he said. Dupin encouraged as many people as possible to become involved in the The Village Pantry By Lana Oster It’s no myth now, we are all in a recession, some of us even claim a depression in our homes let alone our cupboards.

I’ve tried cutting out certain foods that I didn’t think my family really needed to find out that the dinner table became very mundane. So, to the rescue came the un­ branded foods, much to my appreciation. Our table assortment has greatly improved and so can yours if you’re fated with the same dilemma. As I grocery shop, I still have to purchase a few name brands but I am finding the substitutes equally as pleasing, not only to my taste buds, but my wallet as well such as: oz. can unbranded mushroom soup - .27 vs. 10*4 oz. name brand or labeled .34. 16 oz. can unbranded fruit mix - .49 vs. 16 oz. can name brand or labeled - .50. 13 oz. can unbranded evaporated milk - .37 vs. 13 oz. can name brand or labeled - .48. 16 oz. can un­ branded diced beets - .27 vs. 16 oz. can name brand or labeled - .28. And the list goes on and on. The savings shown here may seem quite meager, however, buying groceries in greater quantities will result in a substantial savings. As for quality, you be the judge because the unbranded foods appeal differently to us all. Personally, I found the unbranded peanut butter unatractive, also it has a slightly stale taste, but it’s great for making cookies and candies. I was equally disappointed with the spaghetti sauce. Everything else that I have tried such as fruits and vegetables, macaroni and cheese mixes, sauces and baking needs have been very satisfactory and very often I find that I like the unbranded even better than the name brand or labeled. Try them out yourselves and see how they fare at your table. You can increase their flavors, colors and varieties by adding tasty touches of your own. Be thrifty and creative at the same time. And speaking of these times - we need all the help we can get!

A weekly report from: Senator Richard Allen Did you notice the Legislature is going without what had become our traditional annual Christmas present, a pay raise for the new year? It seems to me in these inflationary times any group going without an annual salary or wage in­ crease should be news, worthy of the front page. Unfortunately from my viewpoint, bad news about the Legislature is more newsworthy than good. We have made other reforms in legislative expenditures that I strongly support and hope remain in place even after good times return. We have cut back greatly on mailing expense, an expenditure which somehow seems to be appreciated by the public in general but certainly cannot be claimed to directly im­ prove the legislative Maple Valley Schools LUNCH MENU Monday, Jan. 5 Hot Dogs, French Fries, Corn, Peaches, Milk.

There is no doubt in my mind it actually in­ terferes with democracy by giving undue advantage to incumbents. Staff had also become excessive in certain areas, but any severe cutbacks in this area do impact on the ability of legislators to adequately perform .various duties. Moderate cutbacks can be maintained. The argument that better salaries bring better people to the Legislature always comes up but cannot be proven. Certainly, it is true that we could use some improvement in the ex­ perience and qualifications of those running for public office. I would be the first to argue with those who feel they are often presented with dismal choices! However, I think there is a better way to attract qualified people to serve in Michigan’s Legislature. I have mentioned it many times before but perhaps the time i is now ripe for a renewed effort. We should limit, by constitution, the number of days the Legislature meets. One hundred days in odd num­ bered years and 75 in even might be reasonable. Or, perhaps it would be better to set final adjournment dates of May 1 and' July 1. This approach has a number of advantages. Perhaps the biggest is the broader range of people who might be attracted to public service if it did not appear to be a full-time, year-round occupation. Certainly,, the continuing experience that legislators would have working in normal activities such as teaching, farming, running a small business, serving as a labor organizer, or practicing a -profession would be valuable to the legislative process. The Governor arid the department heads could spend at least six months running the government, knowing they would have to defend their actions later, but that no changes would occur in the interim. The same advantage would occur in the private sector. We cannot afford, nor do we need, greatly expanded or broadly significant new programs at the state level. A reduced level ,of legislative activity could be healthy. The movement would have to come from the public in the form of a petition drive. I think the possible im­ provement in state govern­ ment should encourage such an effort. Limited pay in the short run -is necessary to legislative demonstrate sincerity in meeting budget problems. In the long run by itself, it will not improve state government. Action - Ads LaMAZE CHILDBIRTH CLASSES are now being offered in the area. Contact Connie Bertram, Mulliken Rd., Charlotte. (tfn) �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Monday, December 29, 1980 — Page 1 Nash's views on worker's compensation programMichigan’s long sought workers’ compensation reform will eliminate the vast majority of abuses and unreasonable costs that threaten the state’s economic stability, State Representative Ernest W. Nash (R-Dimondale) said. The measure, part of a two-bill package revising the outmoded workers’ unem­ ployment compensation systems, passed the House unanimously just hours after the Senate approved it and just two days after the Governor and legislative leaders revealed the plan. “Reform of workers’ compensation has eluded us for more than a decade,” Nash said. “But I am con­ fident that we have finally turned the corner and all our efforts can now be aimed at job development.” Nash said the costly system, which forced em­ ployers to pay among the highest premiums in the nation while uninjured workers received among the lowest benefits, has “scared businesses out of Michigan and seriously hampered our ability to attract new ones — and that translates into hundreds of thousands of people out of work.” , “This is a critical time in our state. Our unem­ ployment is the highest in the nation and our sagging economy has cut into the very bone of state govern­ ment,” he continued. “Today we took our most important and responsible step in years towards making Michigan economically healthy once again.” The package balances conflicting interests that have prevented progress for years by eliminating abuses that burdened business and answering labor’s demand for higher benefits, according to Nash. The House and Senate Thursday passed a com­ panion bill hiking benefits for unemployed workers for the first time in five years while cracking down on people who voluntarily quit their' jobs and seek com­ pensation. “Many, many years of hard work and negotiation have helped set the state for reform. We accomplished that reform today and the positive effects will be felt as we begin to expand our economic base and put unemployed men and women back to work,” Nash said. The Republican members of the House made a unified plea for workers’ com­ pensation reform in the early fall, Nash added, saying, “Naturally, ' I’m delighted that we’ve achieved this major breakthrough.” more label approval 13789620 By John Baer, Extension Ag. Agent The public will have greater access to in­ formation about the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s review of food labels under a new system. Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Carol Tucker Foreman said that the system will provide timely information about decisions Hmde in USDA’s daily review of labels to be used on meat arid poultry products. Effective Dec. 29, USDA’s Food Safety and Quality Service will issue memoranda describing significant or new in­ terpretations of the meat and poultry labeling laws, regulations and policies administered by the agency. Copies of these will be made available to the public. In addition, the agency will periodically publish notices in the Federal Register listing recent decisions, Foreman said. “The new procedures will not change present label review prac­ tices,” Foreman said, “but they will assist our efforts to ensure that labels on meat and poultry products are truthful, accurate and not misleading.” Foreman said the system is one of the agency’s efforts to address concerns ex­ pressed by industry and the department’s Office of In­ spector General. Industry has said it needs to know of changes in policy before it prepares new labeling ap­ plications. The inspector general criticized the practice of recording label policy decisions in documents not generally available to the public, Foreman said. The Federal Meat In­ spection Act and Poultry Products Inspection act require USDA to approve labels before they are used on federally inspected meat or poultry products. Although most labeling applications are routinely approved or denied under the labeling requirements, some labels require in­ dividual interpretation. These new interpretations will now be announced publicly. Be kind to your refrigerator.. There’s no “be kind to your refrigerator week”, but perhaps there should be, because a well-treated refrigerator works at op­ timum level, according to Eaton Extension Home Economist, Ann Ross. Frequent washing with detergent and water of the interior of the refrigerator and its parts is necessary, but care of the appliance should not end there. The condenser area at the base or back of the refrigerator must be cleaned of dust which blocks the air supply and prevents the unit from working efficiently.

On a local level, citizens from Vermontville and Nashville who were interviewed last week are hoping that~1979 wiU bring a year of growth to their respective communities. Pat O’Dell, new Vermontville Chamber of Commerce president and owner of the Sugar Hut Cafe, is hoping that the new year will bring “more business” into the community and that there will be increased “participation in our hometown rather than out-of-town.” With the dawning of a new year, she hopes that “businesses will join together and be closer connected than they have been.” She sees the growth of businesses as a main priority, adding that she would like to see a drug store opened in the village. “I’d also like to see more activities for the young people...teens as well as young adults.” “What we really need is a doctor. I don’t know how to go about finding one, but now that I’m president of the chamber I want to check into it. I can’t see why there isn’t a doctor Pat O'Dell Vernon Throwbridge here. Dr. Myers in Nashville doesn’t have any openings so we’re pushed to go to Charlotte or Hastings when we need a doctor,” Mrs. O’Dell said. Isla Harris of Vermontville commented that “I would like to see the community built up and have more stores so we don’t have to run to Hastings and Charlotte so much. With working I find it difficult to get out.” Vermontville village president Vernon Trowbridge said that although no major projects are planned in ’79 he is hopeful that improvements can be made in such areas as “more sidewalks, expanding or improving upon our athletic programs like our ballfields and parks, and perhaps to improve our police protection through the new upcoming contract with the Sheriff’s Department.” At present, he explained, “we’re riding with the times, waiting to see what happens in terms of possible grants and CETA help. But I want to wish everyone a healthy, happy, and prosperous 1979.” In Nashville, Ray Hinckley who serves on the Riverside Development Corporation would like to see the organization’s goals fulfilled. He said “I hope the RRDC will Dick Kohfeldt receive its grant and be able to start developing recreational facilities because it would be a great benefit to the Com­ munity.” Dick Kohfeldt of Nashville, a social worker for the Calhoun Intermediate School District, would “like to see the business community grow,” He also hopes that “more downtown buildings are used as businesses as opposed to apartments and residences. Also in the new year, he feels that job descriptions should be written for village em­ ployees. “I Wish the Business Owners Association luck in getting a building onto their vacant lot.” he concluded. At the village hall; treasurer Lois Elliston said “I would like to see the village grow and prosper in terms of new businesses and the beginning of development of the park behind the stores.” She is also hoping that additional grant money for projects will find its way into Nashville’s coffer. One of the best accomplishments toward future progress, she feels, is to have “unity within the village...harmony among the people.” R°y Hinckley �Th* Maple Valley New*. Nashville. Wednesday.

Watch services, large parties, and smaller informal gatherings ob­ served the passing of 1978 into 1979. Traditionally, the event has drawn people together to mark the mid­ night hour. And 64 years ago, a group of young adults enjoyed a roller skating party at the old Opera House in Nashville as they watched 1914 pass into 1915. Captured for posterity by a local photographer, roller skates are clearly visible in the foreground as the celebrants paused to have their picture snapped. They skated on a hard­ wood floor which also served occasionally as a dance floor and regularly as a basketball court. Located on Washington Street, directly behind the present-day laundromat, Nashville’s Opera House was the center of community activities from the time it was constructed in the early 1880’s until its’ demise in the mid-1930’s. Owned by John Furniss/the building hosted numerous formal dinners, receptions, school plays, and commencement exercises. Performances staged at the Opera House by traveling Thespians, as well as productions by amateur civic groups, entertained area residents for many years. Nashville’s earliest motion pictures were also shown in the Opera House, providing a lasting memory for many present-day senior citizens. Facilities at the Opera House included a platform stage, dressing rooms, bleacher seating for some of the audience and, of course, a piano. Chairs which furnished additional floor seating were quickly stowed away to free the area for dances or skating parties. Eary basketball players recall dodging two wood burning stoves used to heat the structure. Fifty years of recreational service to the community ended when the building was torn down in the 1930’s but many happy memories of the old Opera House live on. The 1915 skaters have been identified with the assistance of several local senior citizens. Only three in the photo remain unidentified.

PEOPLE OF NASHVILLE COME TO THIS MEETING AND LET YOUR VOICES BE HEARD AT THE: CASTLETON TOWNSHIP HALL THURSDAY, JANUARY 4,1979 • 7:00 P.M. — CONCERNED CITIZENS OF NASHVILLE — �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, January 3,1979 - Page 6 Chit-Chatters become T.V celebrities . By Susan Hinckley Dick Evans, popular roving reporter for Channel 8-TV in Grand Rapids, made an important stop in Nash­ ville Friday before Christ­ mas and (topped in unex­ pectedly on a local men’s group known as the Chit Chat Club. Several Nashville menfolks became TV stars last Wednesday when Evan’s filmed visit to the club was aired as an “On the Road” feature during the station’s noon and evening newscasts. The Chit-Chatters, who meet in the rear of a Main Street building now occupied by Gordon Specialtys, were playing euchre and pool when Evans was ushered through their “Private Members Only” door by store owner, Joe Gorodenski. Exploring the background of the organization, which requires only that members be “old and male”, Evans interviewed Jim Conners, Art Bateman, Otto Dahm, and Will Suntken. Several shots of the euchre players were shown, while Art Bateman and George Vogt tried in vain to sink a few pool balls for the cameraman. Evans joshed the men about the pinups and magazines in their meeting quarters. Among others present for the filming were Hollis McIntyre, Bill Face, Vern Staup, Ron Kenyon, Dewey Dull, Bill Helsel, Hubert Lathrop, Bill Dean, Floyd White, and Merle Burd. The fellows meet nearly every day except Sunday allow no drinking, they told Evans. Organized eight years ago, the group first met in the rear of the former Leon Ackett Store (originally Diamante’s). Douglas Ayles is owner of the Chit-Chatters present quarters. Jim Conners stands by the entrance to the Chit Chat Club located in the rear portion of Gordon Specialtys. Hubert Lathrop tries his luck at sinking a few balls while Bill Face awaits his turn. Whether chit chatting, playing pool or cards, or just plain relaxing like (from left) Ron Kenyon, Vern Staup, and Clyde Benton, members find their private club a great place to go. Vern Staup (on left), Bill Face, Clyde Benton, and Ron Kenyon enjoy a euchre match during a gathering of the Chit Chat Club. New state law prohibits high piling of snow in private driveways— A new state law designed to eliminate piled snow as a traffic hazard is in effect this winter, the Michigan Department . of Transportation reports. Basically, it prohibits businesses and citizens from dumping snow on roadways and shoulders or piling it so high at driveway entrances that it obstructs the vision of motorists. Under the law, enacted last spring, snow, ice or slush may not be removed from a driveway or other property and placed across a roadway or its shoulders. Snow piled near a driveway entrance must not obstruct the view of a motorist en­ tering the roadway. Pushing snow from a driveway to the opposite side ofthe road also is prohibited. “Citizens or or hired snowplowing services usually clear driveways after the highway crews have cleared the roadway and shoulders,’’ said John P. Woodford, department director. “The snowplowing vehicle moving back and forth across the roadway from the driveway in itself is unsafe, but the snow that this ac­ tivity leaves on the payment is spread down the roadway and makes a slippery spot that is hazardous and could be the cause of an accident.’’ Violation of the new law is a misdemeanor. Both property owners and persons hired to remove snow are responsible for any illegal snow-removal activities. In addition, any accidents caused by illegal snow removal will leave violators open to lawsuits for public liablility and property damage. Both the Transportation Department and Michigan State Police encourage property owners to make special plans for snow removal from their property. They recommend that snow be pushed away' from the roadway and to the sides of the driveway for its full length. Large businesses may find it necessary to truck snow from their parking lots. For a charge to be filed, a police officer must witness the violation, or a citizen may file a complaint. “Careless dumping or plowing of snow into the roadway can present a serious traffic hazard,” said Col. Gerald L. Hough, state police director. “This new law should help control dangerous snow-removal practices.” sMe Wheat plantings rebound 30% Last year, Michigan growers were only able to plant 470,000 acres of winter wheat, the lowest acreage on record. But this year growers are rebounding from the short year with 80,000 acres planted this fall. This is a 70 percent increase over last year but is 8 per­ cent shy of the area planted in the fall of 1976. Cooperative fall weather provided ample opportunity for growers to complete their fall planting. Unless growers experience damaging factors; such as, extreme weather conditions or disease, Michigan can expect to harvest around 29,300,000 bushels of wheat next summer, a 63 percent jump from the 1978 crop. Planted rye acreage also increased this fall. The first estimate of area planted to rye is 135,000, up 4 percent from last year and 17 percent from 1976. At the National level, 51,472,000 acres of winter sheat were planted this fall, up 8 percent from last year. Production is expected to jump 15 percent to 1.44 billion bushels. Rye acreage climbed to 3,077,000 acres, a 3 percent increase. The first spring production forecast will be released on May 10.

In October, Frith had been named head of the village Streets and Parks Department. His new post will allow him complete supervisoin of both the Sewer and Water Depart­ ments as well, and enable the council to hire a sewer and water operator-trainee to work under Frith. “The treatment plant cannot be separate,” Councilman Ted Spoelstra said in support of the move to promote Frith. Spoelstra said the plant was in a very deteriorated condition due to the one man being left to run it on his own, without supervision. Frith’s promotion did not provide immediate monetary compensation but the council expects that to be forthcoming. Unable to reach agreement on a satisfactory wage to offer the new trainee to be hired, the council called a special workshop meeting Wednesday evening, OOCOCO&OCOOCCO CA | NEW HOURS] 8 Effective January § 8 1, 1978, Nashville Q S Village Hall wiill be 8 thru 8 open Monday Mond thru QQ x Friday 9 to 5, 5 and || closed on Saturday, b 8 8 BY ORDER OF b * 8 NASHVILLE VILLAGE b Y to fat iuii.wjjj8 B oooo COUNCILc ^88r oQeocecosccc^ ■■toixsit Miai taia'isacc- laijeiwi IWS.TClir rantesti!

It is expected that minimum and maximum pay rates will be set at the 7 p.m. public meeting at Nash­ ville Village Hall. Three separate but similar motions, two offered by Council George Frith and another by Councilman John Mason, to authorize Leon Frith to select a trainee candidate could not muster enough support for approval. Frith, whojvas present at the meeting, said he felt the council should make the decision on whom to hire for the position. In other business, Bruce Cooper, representing Williams and Works Engineering Firm' of Grand Rapids, told the council that a Farmer Home Ad­ ministration loan and or grant application for Nash­ ville’s proposed new $3,396,105. is ready to be submitted this week. Cooper offered comparative figures for council consideration, showing the cost difference between doing the total project and the granteligible portions only. “We’re working with very general, very approximate genera,veryapproxmate figures now,” said Cooper. New sewer sewer customers New comingg on to the line would pay approximately $1,200., Cooper Cooper estimated. However, saamount could be af­ fected by such variables as interest rates when bids on the projectt are let and how the council decides to balance hook-up fees and monthly operation and maintenance charges. Monthly charges, Cooper estimated, might be in­ creased $6 per month, if the entire project is done, or $5. per month, if only granteligible portions are done. He stressed these were only approximate figures and said the council must decide on the approach of financing the village’s share vf the sewer project. Anticipated federal and state grants are expected to cover 80 percent of the granteligible costs. In a tie vote broken by President Harold Christiansen, the council rejected a motion to restrict the sewer project to granteligible portions of the village only. “Right now we should be looking to the future,” Christiansen told the council. Interviewed following the meeting, Christiansen cited the advantages for growth and development potential of the village if the entire project is done, he said Nashville had already lost proposed commercial ventures due to lack of adequate sewer service.

T The newest research at the forest focuses on the application of plantation forestry to the energy problem. Sites have been prepared and 30 tree species will be planted in 1979. The trees will be evaluated for maximum fiber production. Potential uses to be in­ vestigated include raw materials for chemical feed stocks, supplements to ruminant animal feeds and fuels for electric generating plants. The Kellogg Forest has always been popular with the general public. More than 45,000 people visit the station each year. “From the very beginning people have used the forest for recreation,” says Lemmien. “Our early records show quite a few fishermen and hunters. We still some hunting and fishingetbut the use atterns fishing, but the use patterns have changed.

Lester V. Manderscheid, Michigan State University agricultural economist, expects that the U.S. economy will have a growth rate on the order of 2.5 percent in real value of %$s > <$ goods and services produced for the year. There was a 3.8 percent increase in the quantity of goods and ser­ vices produced during 1978 compared to 1977. Manderscheid says that he expects a slow growth rate during the first half of the year: “It will be on the order of 1 percent. The third quarter should show some pickup to a growth rate on the order of 2 percent with a 3 percent annual growth rate in the fourth quarter.” These growth rates are in the actual quantity of goods and services will increase more rapidly because price increases in 1979 will be on the order of 6 to 7 percent, Manderscheid predicts. This forecast implies in­ creased unemployment compensation benefits in 1979. If the Carter ad­ ministration’s intention of reducing the federal deficit to $30 billion or less during 1979 materializes - even in the face of unemployment compensation benefits -­ some federal government services may be cut. “State and local govern­ ment spending will increase, but at a slower rate than revenues, resulting in a surplus.

Candidates file for Nashville Village council seats— Five candidates, all Republicans, met the December 19 deadline to file nominating petitions seeking four trustee seats which will open onthe Nashville Village Council in the Spring. The only contest in the primary election, February 19, will be between George T. Frith and Sandra Kohfeldt, who both filed for the single 1-year term available. The three other candidates each filed for 2-year terms. Since there are three can­ didates filed for three posts, there will be no contest facing Sharon A. Green, Helen N. Curtis, or Forrest C. Babcock, with the ex­ ception of possible write-ins. Frith, of 303 Center Court, and Green, of 202 Cleveland Street, are present trustees recently appointed to their posts by Village President Harold Christiansen. The seats they hold were vacated by resignation in October. Babcock, of 129 S. Main Street, is currently serving a term to which he was elected in 1977. Kohfeldt, of 211 N. State Street, and Curtis, of 311 N. Main Street, are seeking election to the council for the first time. The primary contest will be followed by the general election, March 12. Newlyelected trustees will take office April 1. counting and tax expertise available from CPAs in their own area. MACPA is prepared to offer speakers on a wide range of topic including income tax return preparation and financial and estate planning. All speakers are professional CPAs with experience in public speaking. Interested parties are requested to contact Marilyn Jones at the MACPA Office (313)-353-0404 or talk to their local CPA is not sure how to fill out these forms properly to take the time to come to the meeting.” Nash, who has conducted similar programs for the -past four years, emphasized that more groups than senior citizens are eligible for the rebates. “Veterans, blind persons, paraplegics, quadriplegics and persons who are totally and permanently disabled are also eligible for property tax credits and home heating credits,” he said. If the forms are filled our correctly, Nash said, eligible persons could receive a substantial refund from the state. “Persons wishing assistance in their property tax rebate form should bring a statement of their 1978 income and a copy of their property taxds,” Nash said. the government sector on the economy will be well below the expected $30 billion federal deficit. Perhaps that net deficit will be half that amount,” Manderscheid says. the Federal Reserve System’s efforts to affect the quantity of money available to the economy could have a major impact on the in­ flation rate. “Should the Federal Reserve Board pursue a very tight money policy with associated high interest rates through much of the year, we can assume the economy’s growth rate will be somewhat lower than the expected 2.5 percent,” Manderscheid says. • Effect in Michigan The Michigan economy shows wider swings in economic activity than does the national economy - a slowdown on the national level will be magnified in the state. Unemployment will likely increase more rapidly in Michigan than in the United States as a whole, causing increases in unemployment compensation as well as welfare expenditures. Manderscheid also expects car sales to decline for the 1979 calendar year, as well as for the 1979 model year. “A decline of 5 percent in 1979 model auto sales is not an unreasonable ex­ pectation,” he comments. Farm Effect A national slowdown should not significantly affect demand for farm products, and reduced in­ flation may cut the rate of increase in costs to farmers. But, Manderscheid says, an inflation slowdown will raise questions about the amount of increase in land values that can be sustained. Many farmers count on increased product prices to pay off loans with deflated dollars. “Thus, a major concern of Michigan fa mers with respect to he future may very well be >he *ate of inflation to be expected over the next 5 to 10 years, and therefore, the rate of in­ crease in land values that can be sustained by in­ flationary expectation,” Manderscheid says. His forecast for 1979 is in large part based on measures initiated by the Carter administration in November to curb inflation and the associated decline in the value of the dollar. These include: reduction of the federal deficit; wage and price guidelines; the tax credit program for workers whose salary or wage in­ crease fell below the in­ flation rate; and tightening of the monetary markets. “These measures had a significant impact on the value of the dollar during November. The reaction of many economic forecasters has been that these measures preclude a recession, or at least a very significant slowdown in economic activity the first half or three-quarters of 1979,” ManderscheidXsays. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, January 3, 1979 - Page 10 Nashville News continued— might be released.

Braodway, Hastings, Mich. 49058 P.O. Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) Vol. 105, No. 35, Wednesday, January 10, 1979 Concerned citizens discuss proposed sewer by Susan,Hinckley A meeting that almost didn’t happen turned out to be a lively exchange of ideas between a dozen concerned citizens and four Nashville council members. The subject was Nashville’s proposed new $3,396,105. sewer project. The meeting at Castleton Township Hall was held last Thursday evening despite the fact Village President Harold Christiansen had decided to cancel it shortly after it was scheduled at the last regular meeting of the council. Unaware that Christiansen had made that decision, Lonny Kienutske, heading a group called “Concerned Citizens’’, placed a large ad in last week’s issue of the Maple Valley News asking public attendance at the meeting. Most village council members were also unaware that the scheduled meeting had been called off and, upon learning of the situation last Tuesday, offered to meet with the citizens. John Mason, president pro-tem, volunteered to preside in the absence of Christiansen. Three other council members, Ted Spoelstra, Sharon Green, and George Frith, also at­ tended the meeting. Absent were Purchis and Babcock. The session was conducted in an informal manner and a generally congenial at­ mosphere prevailed. Mason told the audience that Christiansen had reportedly cancelled the scheduled meeting because of an extra-heavy workload on council members last week. He said the council plans to go to Grand Rapids January 9th td meet with Williams and Works, engineers for the sewer project. Mason said he would learn what he could and bring it back to the people. Prior to the cancellation of the meeting by Christiansen, a William and Works representative was scheduled to be present at Thursday’s meeting. “I personally feel Nash­ ville needs a new sewer system but the village does not need the ineligible sections dohe,” said Kienutske. He pointed out the only 13 additional homes would be served by the ineligible extension but the added cost to the village would average $11,000 per home. Christiansen had stated earlier that he felt the entire project should be done to enhance the growth and Sarah Hughes is Barry County’s first baby of the year — Ruth Hughes cradles her new daughter Sarah Beth who is shown peeking out of one eye to find out what all the fuss is about. Sarah's arrival into the world on Wednesday, January 3 created much ado at Pennock Hospital in Hastings because she was the first baby of the"new year. Sarah, daughter of Ruth and John Hughes of 417 Middle Street in Nashville, weighed in at seven pounds and four ounces and measured 20 inches. John teaches history and government at Maple Valley High School and Ruth owns and operates a bookshop in Hastings called "Books, Etc. Etc."

Local voters rejected a similar sewer project jn .a 1977 referendum but the village attorney at that time advised village officials it was only an advisory vote and not binding on the council. At the conclusion of the meeting, Mason, Spoelstra, and Green all personally thanked the audience for attending and asked them not to wait until there was a problem to attend future meetings. They said public input would be a great asset to them in reaching decisions on various issues that come before the council. Maple Valley ‘Drift Skippers’ plan safari in January— The Maple Valley Drift Skippers Snowmobile Club is making plans for a safari in January. Details of the event appear in the column written by Dora J. Nisse. The Drift Skippers meet the first Monday of every month at 7:30 p.m. in their clubhouse in Vermontville. Everyone is invited to attend and pay this year’s dues, according to an officer of the club. At the club’s last meeting, members discussed the village of Vermontville’s Snowmobile Ordinance. The ordinance provides for snowmobiles to be operated on certain designated streets in the Village. They are East First Street, West First, Spring, E)m, Maple, Seminary, Anderson High­ way, and the alleys adjacent to the business district. All snowmobiles must be driven on the extreme right hand of the street or road. Parking for snowmobiles has been allowed in the areas adjacent to the Hardware and to the west of the village fire barn. The ordinance states that snowmobiles must come to a full stop until traffic has cleared when crossing North, South, East or West Main Streets. They may then continue on the extreme shoulder of the street. A 15 mph speed limit has been set for snowmobiles and drivers must obey all traffic signs. Snowmobiles are not allowed to be driven on blacktop streets except where designated. The ordinance stipulates that “the easiest access route from the snowmobilers residence must be taken to the designated routes shown on the map of the Village, not traversing private property.” According to a provision in the Michigan Snowmobile Law Act, which is in­ corporated into the village ordinance, “no snowmobile shall run from within 100 feet of a dwelling at a speed greater than the minimum required to maintain for­ ward movement of the machine and only on designated streets. All Michigan State Laws shall be enforced with regard to snowmobiling, the ordinance states. Snowmobilers 16 years of age and under, must have passed a certification class and carry the certification certificate on their person. Any snowmobiler 16 years of age and under who is operating a machine after hours of the village curfew must be accompanied by an adult or the owner of the machine. • The Drift Skippers en­ courage new members to join their club and also remind those who are not club members that they are not allowed to use the club’s trails unless accompanied by a member.

Some homes in rural areas surrounding the village were without power throughout the chilly night. New Year’s Eve celebrants found driving especially hazardous. Locally, the Nashville DPW crew worked overtime during the night to keep our village roadways safe and passable. Utility lines and trees sagged under heavy coats of ice. Numberous large limbs were reported down throughout the village, some tem­ porarily hampering traffic. The DPW crew continued to work through New Year’s Day to clear limbs, ice, and snow from Nashville’s streets. Mrs. Edna Gibbons of Nashville enjoyed spending the Christmas holidays with family members in Marshall and Battle Creek. Christmas Day she was the guest of her granddaughter and family, Pat and Jerry Merritt and children of Marshall. Also present for the occasion were Mrs. Norma Gibbons; and Mr. and Mrs. Fred Gibbons of Battle Creek. The following two days, Edna enjoyed a visit with Norma Gibbons and family in Battle Creek: Enjoying a pre-Christmas dinner, December 19, at the Stone Inn in Athens were, from Nashville: Carroll and Joyce Lamie; Dennis and Janice Lamie and children; and Dewey and Caroline Jones; and, from Battle Creek, Bob and Hilda Jones and family. Christmas Day dinner guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bob Jones were Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Jones; and Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Lamie and children of Nashville. “Elvis Collectors Go Bonkers” was the headline of a recent story in The Detroit News, featuring Lonpy Kienutske of Nashville. The December 31st issue of the newspaper carried an article, written by News staff writer Alex Ben Block, which reported Kienutske’s purchase of Elvis memorablia at a recent Presley Collectors Convention on the Michigan State Fairgrounds. According to The Detroit News, Lonny paid $300 for a pack of Elvis bubble gum cards that “cost no more than $2 new in 1956.” After bargaining with the same “nostalgia” merchant for an RCA Presley Christinas album from the late 50’s, Lonny finally succeeded in striking a deal at $225. for the record. Kienutske and his wife, Sue, became Elvis collectors because “they grew up with Elvis and loved him,” they told the News reporter, and they believe the Elvis memorablia is a “good investment” that will increase in value over the years. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Beard of Nashville enjoyed a holiday dinner the day before Christmas at the home of their daughter, Betty and Earl Hooghouse and family of Charlotte. Also present for the family gathering were Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Beard and sons of Battle Creek; Mr. and Mrs. Larry Rollins and children; Harry Rollins and friend, Sandy Reid; and Mr. and Mrs. James Jarman and children, all of Nashville.

Nashville Wednesday, January 10. 1979 — Page 4 Nashville nutrition site for senior citizens news By Feme Green Our Nashville group was in a flurry of activity during November and December, concerned with preparations for the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays, so it seems good to be able to slow down in activity a little now. Our Thanksgiving evening VILLAGE OF NASHVILLE ...will continue to accept applications until 4:00 p.m. Thurs., Jan. 11,1979 For sewer and water operator trainee. JOHN MASON Chairman of D.P.W. carry-in dinner on Nov. 21st was attended by 49 members and guests, and young Nyle Wells of Vermontville en­ tertained us with his Magic Act, which was ably presented. Guests were Ester Appelman, a former group member, and Mrs. Omer Dan and mother, Bea Code of Thornapple Lake. Our Christmas Party and December Birthday Party, honoring five of our group, was held simultaneously at the noon hour, Dec. 21st with 50 in attendance. The Hall looked beautiful with red and green streamers, Bells and ornaments suspended from the ceiling. The dining tables were adorned with Christmad centerpieces and the piano top with tapers. Our thanks to Roy Boise, Glen Roush, and Harry Beard for decorating so beautifully. Beards loaned their tree to the group again and Arke Stambaugh, Elsie Ramsey and Feme Green trimmed it, rrftking it the focal point of the decorations. The Site caterers sent a beautiful birthday cake with the names of all the birthday honorees inscribed on the icing. Before the social hour Santa Claus (Fred Ackett) arrived and distributed candy and exchanged gifts to everyone. Then the group enjoyed singing many Christmas songs with Feme Green at the piano. Feme also presented a monologue, entitled “Grandma’s reminiscing Treasures; about a card, a doll, a ring and a brooch, keepsakes of childhood and youthful days, which pointed out the differences of folkways of 50 or 60 years ago as compared todays’ customs. Our only group project in Nancy's is pleased to announce that JODI SPICER is returning to work and accepting appoint­ ments on Wednesdays and Saturdays starting Jan. 17th. Nancy’s Beauty Shop 157 S. Main, Vermontville - Phone 726-0330 Dec. was the Bake Sale we sponsored. That day the weather was terrible. A big snow storm. We had a large supply to sell and by midafternoon most of the edibles were sold. Food remaining was auctioned to our own group, and we were pleased with the profit considering the size of our Site Group. We appreciate the monthly Blood Pressure Clinics for our benefit. Our sincere thanks to Helen Furlong and Helen Seller for braving the cold temperature of Jan. 2nd to provide the readings for 26 people. Birthdays in January to be observed are those of Deidra Sprinkle, Bertha Becker, Caroline Jones, Austin Schantz and Thelma Stewart. Daily attendance has decreased slightly during the cold snap and resulting bad driving conditions. A few people have missed coming because of illness. We all keep in touch daily with our designated “Telephone Buddy”, so if some one needs assistance their need will be met. Under the able instruction of Viola Avery, the Arts and Craft Classes, although only recently begun in Nashville, have produced many ingenious articles-both beautiful and useful, and nearly all fashioned from cartons, yarn and cloth scraps that most people throw away! The group is establishing a weekly “Recreation Day” starting on Friday Jan. 5th, which will last from 9 a.m. until around 11 a.m. Anyone in the community may come in and play the game of their choice. We have Chinese checkers, Cribbage, Triominoes, regular checkers, chess and decks of cards for various card games from which to choose. You may even bring light refreshrefresh­ ments with you if you wish. This lodes like a good op­ portunity for any who might be a little lonely to come and find companionship and perhaps, make some new friends. At a recent Site meeting, the group decided that it would be interesting to keep a Scrap Book of our ac­ tivities to enjoy in future years. Edna Gibbons was appointed to this duty, has spent much time already, and is doing a super job on the record, including pic­ tures and stories. All members are reminded that our next Site Meeting will be on Jan. 9th. at 11 a.m. and your are suppose to be there! Every members participation is important in a group such as we are lucky enough to have. The Nashville Site wishes to extend to the Hastings and Woodland Sites a sincere Hope that they will have a happy and productive year throughout 1979. •” ★ z Fee Area Churches (Volleyball) Womens League (Volleyball) Mens League (Volleyball) Boys Intramural Girls Intramural Square Dancing Leader Dav Clergy Murphy Phenix Ruohonen Jones Buds Duds Mon/Tue Kellogg Kellogg Wed.

SUSAN M. CORKWELL, Village Clerk �The Mople Valley News. Nashville, Wednesday, January 10, 1979 — Page 6 Memories of the past . . by Susan Hinckley In its’ heyday the Wolcott House on Nashville’s South Main Street lodged many weary travelers, furnishing well-kept rooms and homecooked meals at reasonable rates. Located on the present-day site of the former Total Service Station, the hotel was conveniently situated midway between Michigan Central’s railroad depot and the village’s downtown business district. Built by James McGraw before the turn of the cen­ tury, the hotel was in the possession of J.B. Mix sometime prior to 1910, about the time this photo was Jaken. Late owners of the Wolcott House included William Dean of Vermontville, who owned a livery stable on Nashville’ Main Street, and George McGuaig, a local saloon keeper. A second story balcony graced the front of the hotel, topping a front porch which ran the full length of the building. Outdoor illumination during night hours was provided by a kerosine-operated street light (upper left in photo), which was filled by lowering the fixture on a pulley. Inside the hotel, an open stairway led from the foyer to the second story. The main floor housed a large office, kitchen, and spacious dining room. Such tasty meals were served at the Wolcott House that during special events, as Nash­ ville’s annual Harvest ‘Service You Can Count On’ COMMERCIAL — RESIDENTIAL 329 W. Mill Street — Hastings, Michigan 49058 Telephone: (616)945-4493 Festival, additional help was hired to handle the extra patrons. Charles Scheldt, a son-in­ law of James McGraw, operated a livery stable in connection with the Wolcott House, advertising that “commercial men are in­ vited to call.” Scheldt’s enterprise was located in a structure at the rear of the hotel. Salesmen, traveling troupes of actors, and other passers-through found a welcome at the hotel. In later years the Wolcott House ceased the house guests and gradually fell in progressive stages of disrepair. The second floor balcony and front porch below were removed. Some main floor windows were replaced with double­ wide storefront glass. The classic bracketed cornice, which crowned the edifice, was coated with dark paint. s Various business ventures filled the now-defunct hotel. For a time, a tire store oc­ cupied the south portion of the building. John Wheeler became the last , reported owner of the structure befofe it was razed in the late 1930’s, marking the end of an era for a graceful and prominent Nashville landmark.

Councilman John Mason advocated using the term “job title” rather than “job description’* or “classification.” Mason stressed the need for flexibility between the various functions of the DPW. He then suggested titles of “Supervisor of Public Works” for the head of the department, and “Public Works employees” for the two present members of the crew. The council generally agreed on tenative titles of “Chief’, “Sergeant”, and “Patrolman”, for the village’s 3-man police force.

The school district also has an opening for a secretary under the CEAT program in the community school office. •>The board members voted to invite the state fire marshall to inspect the Kellogg Elementary Building with the main concern being the need to enclose the stairwells. Representatives of the Hartford Insurance Com­ pany have indicated that the school district should con­ sider the enclosure of the stairwells. The board members ap­ proved a request from Inez Hubka to extend her leave of absence through the second semester. Marge Wolff is substituting for Inez in the libraries at Fuller St. and Kellogg Elementaries.

Winning the title of 1979 Barry County New Year’s Baby was Sarah Beth Hughes, born January 3rd to Ruth and John Hughes of Middle Street. Last year, Amanda Jean Bryans, who also arrived on January 3rd, won the 1978 contest. In addition to their hometown, their January 3rd birthday, and the New Year’s Baby titles, the girls have in common, both were born at Pennock Hospital. Sarah Beth, the 1979 winner, will be showered with a bundle of gifts from Hastings merchants, as was Amanda Jean last year. Recent visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. M. Dewey Castelein, Jr. ofNashville were her son and family, Richard and Joan McCollum and boys. The McCollums came to Michigan enrout home from a Florida vacation. While there they called on grandfather, Melvin D. Castelein, Sr., a former Nashville resident wintering in Florida, and report they found him enjoying good health. Irene Goodnoe of Irene’s Beauty Shop is recovering very well from thyroid surgery which she underwent last Monday at Pennock Hospital. She expects to return to work after a couple weeks recuperation. A large 3-stall garage located just west of M-66 on East Dowling Road was totally destroyed in an early morning fife last Thursday. Also lost were contents of the structure, including a 4-wheel drive vehicle, an older Chevrolet auto, a rota-tiller, a small tractor, and numerous tools. The building belonged to Terry Burgess and was located behind a mobile home occupied by him. The Nashville Fire Department was summoned at 2:25 a.m. but the structure was totatally in­ volved in flames by the time they were called and it was apparent, upon their arrival, that nothing could be salvaged.

February will also see the Cathederal Quartet from Ohio performing at a 7 p.m. service on the 8th, and a “New Life Seminar” conducted by Florida evangelist Wayne Swearingen for five nights, beginning February 10th. Mrs. Larry (June) Decker of Nashville was suddenly taken ill last Wednesday norning while at her husband’s Fargo Station on Main Street. He summoned the Nashville ambulance and June was transported to Pennock Hospital. At this writing, she is still confined and undergoing a series of tests to determine the cause of her illness. The new year brought a new assignment to Pat Lingholm ofNashville and a “first” for the Nashville Fire Department ambulance. A 1970 graduate of MVHS and 12-year resident of Nashville, Pat is the first woman to ever serve in the department She is a certified Emergency Medical Technician, having received her training in 1977 at Kellogg Community College. Pat has been a member of the Bedford Rescue Squad for four years and still serves on active duty there every Thursday night. Her daily occupation also reflects Pat’s interest in medicine, as she is employed in the pharmacy at Battle Creek Sanitarium Hospital. Pat, who lives near Putnam Park with her parents, the Eugene Lingholms, is also a CPR instructor for Calhoun County Red Cross, teaching classes wherever she may be assigned. A newly-enacted Michigan law requires at least one EMT on each ambulance run this year. By 1980 the regulation calls for two EMT’s to be in the ambulance on each call. Eight Nashville men received EMT ratings in December after successful completion of a 120 hour course taught at Pennock Hospital under the auspices of Grand Valley State College. The Nashville United Methodist Church Board of Trustee will meet at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, January 17th, at the church.

The old Wolcott House on Nashville’s South Main Street, featured in last week’s “Memories of the Past”, recalled happy days for Mrs. Beatrice Penfold of Nashville. The former Beatrice Harrington, Mrs. Penfold remembers spending weeks at a time in the old hotel as a young child, Visiting her older sister, Linda Harrington, who was em­ ployed as a “live-in” maid. There was a large room off the kitchen which served as maid’s quarters, Beatrice recalls, and though she was no more than five or six years old at the time, she remembers the interior of the old building well. The year was about 1905, or earlier, and Mr. and Mrs. Casper “Cap” Bowen were operating the hotel. The Bowens had an only child, a daughter named Kate, and while they resided in the hotel the Harrington family lived on the Bowen’s place south of town. The late Linda Harrington, whose married name was Butler, worked for the Bowens at the Wolcott House for several years. Mrs. Penfold was able to confirm that the old hotel was built sometime before the turn of the century but the exact date is, as yet, unknown. Readers who have information or memories of early Nashville are encouraged to call this reporter so that we may share those recollections with others. Sincere thanks to all the many dear and helpful ones who have shown such a interest in the project and assisted in research for the “Memories” feature. A recent Maply Valley News article on the local “Chit Chat Club’’ is on display at the Steakhouse in Nashville, made into an attractive wall decoration by restaurant owner, Agnes Hughes. The MVN story, which reports the clubs’ December appearance on Channel 8-TV, joins an earlier newspaper account of the Chit-Chatters published last summer by the Lansing State Journal. Both plaques, made by Mrs. Hughes, are exhibited on the south wall of the restaurant. Mr. and Mrs. Adrien (Robie) Pufpaff enjoyed New Year’s Day dinner with her brother and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Don David of Battle Creek. Robie, who has been under the weather for the past several weeks, has now improved somewhat and reports she is enjoying a lovely poinsettia plant brought to her by Rev. Putnam. A rehearsa presentation of the opera, Krutnava (Whirlpool), at the Michigan State University auditorium was a special treat last Wednesday evening for Mrs. Hilda Baas of Nashville and Mrs. Greta Firster of Vermontville. Senior citizens were complimentary guests at the per­ formance of the opera, which is the best known work of Eugen Schon, a Slavic composer. The audience was privileged to meet the composer following the presentation. Performed in English, the opera featured many singers and outstanding costumes from Slovakia.

Mrs. Waite, who is 84, had fallen in her home Friday evening, and it was later determined her hip was broken. She underwent surgery last Monday and is doing well. At almost the same time, the ambulance was summoned to the Ahmo Jordan residence north of town to transport Mrs. Joran’s father, J.B. Cain, to Pennock Hospital. He was .suffering from complications of a viral infection. A Nashville fire truck responded to the call and then summoned the Vermontville ambulance to transport the patient. Mrs. Jordan had high praise for the quick response of both departments. By last Wednesday, Mr. Cain had improved enough to be released from the hospital. The Cains, who live at Carp Lake near Mackinaw City, are wintering with the Jordans and really enjoy reading the Maple Valley News, their daughter reports. Nashville residents are reminded that January 22, is the last day to register for the upcoming village primary election, February 19.

The general election will be March 12, and the newly-elected trustees will take office April 1. Temperatures of 25 to 30 below zero greeted the George Wards of Thornapple Lake Road when they went “home for the holidays” to North Dakota. George, Janet, and son Quentin, recently returned from a two-week trip to spend Christmas with relatives there. George’s family lives at Larimore and Janet’s at Mohall. Enroute to North Dakota, the Wards were snowbound overnight at a truck stop near Moorehead, Minnesota. Despite the chilly weather in North Dakota, the Wards enjoyed snowmobiling on relative’s ranch land. Road conditions for the trip back to Michigan were good until they reached Gary, Indiana, where the Wards ran into the remnants of our most recent storm. A two-car accident, involving property damage only, occured at the South End Food and Beverage parking lot last Tuesday evening. An auto backing from a parking space struck a vehicle parked in the lot. No injuries were reported in the incident which was policed by the Nashville Police Department. Ray Pennock of Nashville was taken to Pennock Hospital by Nashville ambulance early Sunday morning, January 7, suffering with heart problems. By Wednesday, he had im­ proved enough to be taken out of the intensive care unit at the hospital and, at this writing, it is expected he may be released this week. Mrs. Walter (Mabel) Furlong of Nashville was able to return home last Tuesday after a five-day stay at Pennock Hospital.

The scene is Nashville’s Central Park in its infancy. The old Union Hotel which previously occupied the site had burned and fallen into hazardous disrepair before the lot was purcheased by the village in 1915 and converted into a park. Six years later, when this photo was taken, - young maples transplanted from Putnam Park in a thinning-out program had successfully taken hold, encircling a wading pool and fountain. The star attraction in the park was the fountain statue, a cherub holding aloft a large fish cascading water from its’ mouth. Originally at home in the Michigan Central Railroad Park, located northwest of the old depot (the park was across the street from the present-day VFW Hall), the cherub came into possession From the Maple Valley Home Ec Department A Deluxe G.E.

PlacecTin the center of a circular wading pool in the heart of Nashville’s down­ town park, the cherub found a new home to the delight of local youngsters. On the right in the photo can be seen the old Star (later the Flo) Theater and, in the background, St. Cyril’s Catholic Church. The old theater showed silent movies with piano accompaniment until “talkies” came along, and continued in operation until torn down in the 1960’s. The cherub, however, was gone from the Central Park scene long before then. In years subsequent to its placement in the village park, the delightful figure would disappear on an oc­ casional Halloween night but was always returned until the final instance. That time it was not replaced and knowledge of the cherub’s whereabouts was never learned. Although the fate of the statue still remains a mystery, rumor had it that “out-of-towners” were responsible for the cherub’s last departure from its Central-Park Home. The wading pool, without the guardian cherub, soon became neglected and was eventually filled with soil for a petunia planting project by a local civic organization. Unfortunatley, shade from the now-large maples hin­ dered the growth of flowers and, today, Central Park still misses the cherub’s beauty.

In other business the Chamber membership voted Wednesday to create a new office of corresponding secretary, splitting the duties of the present secretary, who will continue to serve as recording secretary < for the organization. This step was taken to lighten the burden of work which has evolved in the secretarial post the past few years. . Terril Thomas volunteered to serve as corresponding secretary and was elected by the membership. She will assume responsibility for handling incoming and outgoing mail for the Chamber. Other newly-elected of­ ficers serving in 1979 with Andrus will be John Mason as vice president; Sharon Brumm as treasurer; and Irene Goodnoe as recording secretary. Andrus asked that each newly appointed committee head be prepared at February’s meeting to briefly list objectives their committee hopes to ac­ complish in the coming year. Andnis explained that he hoped the listing of goals would help coordinate efforts of the chamber as a whole. In addition to the three new committees created by Andrus, two standing but non-functioning committees were also reactiviated for 1979. These are the Welcome New Residents and the Legislative committees. “The purpose of the new committees is to clearly define certain areas which have been previously un­ touched,” said Andrus. “The purpose of the Chamber, as stated in its charter, is to promote and enhance all areas of common interest that shall be for the general good of the Nashville community,” Andrus added. He/stressed that the new committees would reach areas left untouched in the past, Andrus promised to provide a copy of the Chamber’s charter to each member at February’s meeting. 4-H winter ‘funday’ planned .*.

Michelle, who was born five weeks early was born at Pennock Hospital, then transferred to Bronson Winter is catch up time by Warren J. Cook, County Extension Director. Michigan agricultural people, it seems, have come full circle. The early settlers of our fair State were by and large, lumbermen. These hardy souls were busiest during the winter season, felling and cutting up trees and hauling logs to the decking yards on river banks. In the summer, busy though they were, these people actually had more lesisure time. Then came the post lumbering days when folks gain their living by farming pursuits. In these days of yore, spring, summer and fall seasons were extremely busy times with winter time the season for relaxation. How tis the time of the huge equipment farmer. Extremely busy during periods of planting and harvesting, todays farmer finds time to go on trips or just go fishing during the summer. But come winter-its the Let’s DISCO one of the new classes offered at M.V.A disco dancing class is to be offered at Maple Valley in January 1979. The class will be presenting the basics of disco dancing as clearly and as simply as possible for those with little or no dance background as well as in­ troducing movements to . interest the more ex­ perienced dancer. The only things needed to become a disco dancer are — a little time, a little energy and a little training. Classes will be held at the Fuller Street all purpose room on Wednesday evenings from 7 - 9 p.m. The instructor is Barb Franks. First of six weekly sessions ' scheduled for Wednesday, January 24,1979. The lessons are divided into three phases.

Are the Girl Scouts still taking in glass? The answer, YES, most definitely. In fact its more important than ever now that everyone save their re­ usable glass instead of sending it to the garbage dumps. In the past years the scouts have averaged over 10 tons of re-cycled glass taken to Owens Ill. plant in Charlotte. That $300.00 has gone a long way to help finance the local troops. Now that the pop and beer bottles will be taken back for deposits, the amount of glass saved for re­ cycling will drop greatly, unless the people who never bothered to save before start doing it now. The local girls urge that you make a resolution this year to - 1. Buy in glass whenever you have a choice. If it comes in cans or plastic, you then have a disposal problem. Besides, food packed in glass has more appeal, you know what you are getting at first glance. So please, look the store shelf over good, and BUY IT IN GLASS. 2. After you are through with the container, rinse it out and put it in a grocery sack (you’ve by now found a area that you are storing those re-turnables anyway) and when you get a full sack or more, just drop it off at the “glass Shanty” when you come to town. We are sure there are even a lot of scout families that aren’t now saving glass that could change their ways and get into the habit. Won’t you “trash throwers” change your ways too, and take that sack of change to the scouts re-cycling collection place? All those sacks of glass are like money for us!!

All registrations presently expire every March 31, creating long lines; but as of October 1,1979, we will begin changing to a system in which registrations expire on the owner’s birthday. Traffic Crimes-Routine traffic and parking violations used to be criminal misdemeanors, but as a result of legislation enacted in December, speeding, wrong turns and many other violations are now civil offenses which carry a fine but no imprisonment. Handicapped Parking-The Attorney General has ruled that handicapped persons may park their cars at metered spaces for free and not the subject to local prosecution, provided their cars have state stickers identifying them as handicapped-owned. This is allowed by state law. Lie Tests-It is now the law that an employer cannot require an employee to take a lie-detector test as a condition of employment. However, law enforcement agencies may still use such tests for employees who are subject to internal Investigation. Lights Out-One of the last bills signed into law in 1978 bans the sale of decorative gas lamps, and certain home ap­ pliances with continuously-burning pilot lights, after June 1 of this year. This was passed mainly to help save our dwindling energy resources. MEMBER MWAper p CARD OF THANKS Association • Founded 1885 tai'ii''’ II Maple Valley News VedV*** ACTION-ADS Nashville, Michigan.

Mrs. Albert Spicer and Family by Susan Hinckley Nashville residents will pay higher water bills since an ordinance raising village water rates approved by the village council at last Thursday’s meeting The gallon usage fee was increased while the gallonage level discount for quantity users was decreased, resulting in a net increase of about 18 percent The minimum bill for each premise served will remain $12.50 per quarter plus a charge equal to the amount of water consumed. The council has known for some time that water rate in­ creases would be needed. Installation of new water meters was suggested by the village’s auditing firm last July as one step in curtailing a 45 percent loss ratio bet­ ween gallons pumped and gallons billed. “A system that has a loss of over 17 percent is considered ex­ cessive in the industry,” said the July 25th letter from Donald L. Lloyd of Foote, Iles, Foote, & Lloyd. Fire truck, hydrant, and pool filling useage was noted and allowed for in his conclusion. Although some new meters have been purchased, none has been installed since receipt of that letter, ac­ cording to Councilman John Mason, who has headed the DPW committee since Oc­ tober. He cited a shortage of manpower as the reason. The council last Thursday hired Larry Corkwell as a sewer and water operator trainee, agreeing to pay him $4.75 per hour with a 25 cent Michigan cheeses make good snacks After a busy holiday season, a quiet evening by the fireside with friends is a welcome change of pace. Tasty snacks from fine Michigan cheeses can be easily prepared for such an occasion. More than 34 million pounds of cheese was produced in our state last year, according to the Michigan Department of Agriculture, including cheddar, Colby, Monterey, Italian, Muenster, brick, cream and farmer cheeses. Michigan has 15 cheese factories, with major cheese production in Arenac, Bay, Clare, Menominee and Wayne counties. Our state also ranks fifth in the nation in cottage cheese production. There are more than 400 varieties of natural cheeses, each distinctive in flavor, body and texture. Method of coagulating milk, kind of milk used, type of culture and ripening conditions determine the kind of cheese. Natural cheeses are cured from 30 days to a year and labelled mild, medium aged, or sharp. Cheddar, Colby, Monterey and Muenster are excellent mild cheeses for appetizers, salads and sandwiches. Italian cheeses such as parmesan, mozzarella and romano are milk to sharp in flavor, ideal for spaghetti, pizza or lasagna. Mozzarella cheese has an elastic texture which becomes stringy when heated. Cheese contains many of milk's nutrients including protein, calcium and vitamin A. To make one pound of cheddar requires 10 pounds of milk. Three ounces of cheddar has about the same protein as three large eggs or three ounces of cooked beef. Five ounces of cheddar has the same amount of calcium as 34 cups of milk. Natural cheese keeps well in the refrigerator for several weeks. However, long holding results in additional curing and a sharper flavor. Always serve cheese at room tem­ perature to bring out the full flavor. raise after a 9o-day requested by the contractor probation period. had caused the delay but it They also discussed the was now completed, he said, possibility of having water and “monies will probably customers read their own be set aside for the project meters as a means to save this spring.” Even without a manhours and dollars.

His .State of the State Address to the Legislature was not interrupted once by applause and was generally reviewed as uninspiring which is an indication of the Governor’s ability as a leader and a practical politician. The people are not in the mood for grand, inspiring new programs, nor for a wholesale cut of present ones. That’s the message from last year’s ballot issues. Also, it seems unlikely that the Governor expects to serve any longer than the present term. And, Milliken has learned by experience that bold new programs take a long time to achieve.

AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY t I HIS SPACE CON 1RIRUIED RY THE PUBLISHER AS A PUBLIC SERVICE, Nashville - Mr. Vern A. Blanck, 79, of 218 Sherman St. died Saturday, January 13,1979 at Pennock Hospital. He was born November 20, 1899 in Assyria Township, the son of Frank and Mabie (Penfold) Blanck. He married Agnes Curtis on December 10, 1920 and was a farmer in the area all his life, retiring in 1968. He was a member of the Farm Bureau. Mr. Blanck. is survived by his wife Agnes; two sons, Aaron of Myrtle Point, Oregon, and Richard of Bronson, Mich.; one daughter, Mrs. Robert (Wilma) Saunders of Ver­ montville; two sisters, Mrs. Gertrude Streit of Battle Creek, and Mrs. Vera Kibby of Taylor, Michigan; one brother, Francis of Fort Wayne, Indiana; nine granchildren and eleven World wheat crop up but U.S. production down­ by Warren J Cook, County Extension .Director Favorable worldwide weather conditions boosted the 1978 world wheat crop 5 percent higher than expected, but U.S. farmers didn’t contribute to the trend. Domestic wheat production dropped by 12 percent compared to 1977. According to Michigan State University agricultural economist Harold J. Ecker, total world wheat production is pegged at 422 million metric tons in 1978. That’s about 40 million tons higher than the 1977 crop. In spite of global wheat production increases, only about one-half as much U.S. wheat is under loan com­ pared to December 1, 1977. This means that any need for production controls should be short-lived, says Ecker, because world' wheat con­ sumption levels will continue to increase more rapidly than production. Ecker also notes that, if an international wheat agreement is signed, it would commit participating nations to set aside reserves. This would cause a tem­ porary increase in price until reserve requirements are met in nations that presently have no surplus. The 1978 U.S. wheat crop1.78 billion bushels-is the lowest since 1972. Lower yields mean that the U.S. total wheat supply of 2.96 billion bushels is 6 percent less than the 1977-78 supply; with a corresponding drop in expected U.S wheat sur­ pluses. The United States now holds over one-third of the world’s surplus wheat stocks. U.S. wheat exports are expected to total 1 billion to 1.2 billion bushels during the present crop year. “In­ creased sales to China and Brazil could push exports over the 1.2 billion bushel mark if present export levels continue,” says Ecker. Current U.S. wheat prices are well above prices of competitive feed grains, so the amount of wheat used in animal feeds has declined. Wheat used for human consumption is running slightly ahead of last year’s record 569 million bushels. Estimated U.S. Wheat Obituary continued great-grandchildren.

Burial will be in Lakeview Cemetery, Nash­ ville. surpluses, as of June 1,1979, will be 1.04 billion bushelsdown 10 percent from last year. About half of this surplus will be in farmerand government-owned stocks that won’t be available on the market until the U.S. average farm price rises above $3.29 per bushel. In Michigan, soft red winter wheat supplies are down nearly one-third from last year because of reduced plantings and widespread winter damage in the soft red winter wheat production areas.-Ecker estimates the 1978 U.S. crop at 200 million bushels, compared to 341 million last year. Michigan production of soft white winter wheat is also down, but production increases in the Pacific Northwest offset reduced eastern yields so that total U.S. soft white winter wheat supplies are about equal to last year’s 309 million bushels. “Present high prices for soft wheat are declining, and it is very doubtful if Michigan at-farm prices will hold at the December 1978 level,” says Ecker. “If normal selling patterns occur in January the price paid to Michigan wheat producers could drop to $3.40 per bushel or lower.” Storage didn’t become a problem as expected in 1978. With forecasted production increases for 1979, however, growers may be wise to contract for storage well in advance of wheat harvest EAST SIDE WEST SIDE J % % & ft i*’ dlrf* jjdfciii ■iiin! iiijaid ■Hty iaifci line liiK All around the town■ImiajU Good news about Russ Kerbyson, he came through his surgery in flying colors and is out of Intensive Care.

At times we have had high unem­ ployment and high inflation at the same time. High in­ flation means we all must struggle, sometimes unsuccessfully, just to keep up with the rising cost of living. The poor, the elderly, and those on fixed incomes are most threatened. For the restofus, inflation can mean frustration, uncertainty, and a loss offaith in our ability to provide for ourselves and our families in the future President Carter’s anti­ inflation program is made up of three major planks. The federal government will lead the way by reducing the budget deficit and putting a freeze on new government hiring. At the same time, a comprehensive effort will be made to eliminate costly, duplicative, and un­ necessary government regulations which drive prices up and limit real competition. And finally, wage and price guidelines will be used to bring the inflationary spiral under control. The President has already cut the federal budget deficit by a third since he took of­ fice, and in the coming year he will cut it to less than half what it was in 1976. Those tight budget policies will not be easy, according to President Carter, and “short term sacrifices will be required.” He has made it clear, however, that every portion of the budget will receive equally tough scrutiny.

(1-24) sumer of cutting unnecessary government regulations are already obvious in the airline in­ dustry. More people are using the airlines and prices are down sharply. The President has chosen the man who led the airline deregulation effort, Alfred Kahn, to lead the govern­ ment anti-inflation fight and Kahn has vowed to continue the fight against red tape and inflationary overregulation. Government spending and regulation are only two parts of the problem, however. As the President pointed out in his address to the nation, “In the last ten years, in our attempts to protect our­ selves from inflation, we have developed attitudes and habits that actually keep inflation going.” Working people expect prices to go up so they ask for higher pay to stay ahead. Business expect higher inflation so they adjust their prices and collective bargaining set­ tlements accordingly. Wages and prices chase each, other in an upward inflationary spiral. The President’s voluntary wage and ^rice guidelines are intended to bring that spiral under control. Workers are asked to settle for a maximum 7 percent increase. Companies are asked to hold their price increase to one-half percent below their average increase for 1976 and 1977. If the guidelines are followed, the inflationary spiral can be “wound down,” and everyone will benefit by having their dollars buy more. Compliance with the guidelines will be monitored by the Coucil on Wage and Price Stability, and where possible, government will use procurement and other policies to ensure that companies cooperate.

January 15, the due date for Form 1040-ES, is nearly here. 1040-ES is the Declaration of Estimated Income Tax for farmers who wish to wait until April 15 to file their 1040 like everyone else. This is not necessarily an advantage since you may have to send in a payment and lose the use of that money for six weeks. January 31 is the due date for Forms W-2, W-3 and 943 Each employee gets their W2 form and a W-2 and W-3 go to the IRS. Form 943 is the final accounting form used if you had farm employees and withheld income tax or social security tax on wages paid. March 1 is the farmers’ filing deadline, unless a 1040ES has been filed. April 15, the final due date for all taxpayers, falls on a Sunday this year, so you have until midnight on Monday, April 16th to mail in your tax returns. Nashville News continued— serving will be the Tea Committee for the month: Mrs. Elizabeth Lynch and Mrs. Margaret Aspinall. Mr. and Mrs. Carroll (Joyce) Lamie of Nashville recently returned home from a three-week visit with their son and family, T-Sgt. Roger Lamie, wife Margaret, and children Kim and Bobby, at AFB Ft. Belvouir, Virginia. The Lamie’s pre-Christmas flight, scheduled to leave from Lansing, was delayed one day due to our inclimate weather, and they finally flew out of Grand Rapids airport going by way of Pittsburg. They enjoyed the stopover at the spacious airport there, filled with holiday travelers and interesting shops. While in Virginia the weather was in the low 60’s but there was snow one day, much to the youngster’s delight. A tour of the Air and Space Museum at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., was very much enjoyed by the Lamies. They also had the opportunity to share in the celebration of grandson Bobby’s thrid birthday two days after Christmas. The event was highlighted by a trip to Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlor where Bobby received special honors. Congratulations are in order for a Nashville man, Jerry Fager, who is foreman of the Hastings Manufacturing Company machining department which recently took top honors in a company-sponsored “Silver Dollars for Safety” program. Fager’s twenty-employee department was selected above 23 others in the company for showing the best improvement in safety inspection over the previous quarter. Each person in Fager’s department received 25 silver dollars as a reward for winning the competition, a new and ongoing company program to promote industrial safety. Jerry Reid, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence (Margaret) of Nashville was admitted to Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids last Tuesday. At the time of this report his condition was stable and it was not known how much longer he would be hospitalized. Rev. and Mrs. Robert Taylor of Nashville recently returned from a week’s vacation, snowmobiling near Beulah. They report the weather was not the most ideal, as temperatures never got above five degrees and they received 6 to 8 inches of new snow each day. Mrs. George (Pat) Vogt of Nashville is still confined at Pennock Hosptial following recent hip surgery necessitated by a pre-Christmas fall. It is expected that she will remain at the hospital for at least three weeks of recuperation and, at the present, is quite immobilized having one leg weighted down. Pat is in Roo 301. The recent ice storm in our area has proved to be a real hardship on wildlife. Birds, rabbits, quail, pheasant, and other small game have been unable to cut through the half­ inch coating of ice to reach their normal food supply. Orville “Mike” Everett of Nashville, whom we consulted about the problem, suggests people keep bird feeders full and throw out food where possible to help alleviate the hardship. He said even rabbits have been coming to his feeders late at night to seek remnants left by the birds. Quail and pheasant face an additional problem, he said, as they cannot obtain the gravel needed for digestion of their food, which is also in very short supply. Small animals that normally feed on brush and bark have no means of cutting through the layer of ice. The deer, Mike reports, are in pretty good shape as they are able to feed on standing corn even though it is coated with ice. He says the serious problem for small game is in our immediate area and south of us, as twenty miles north they have had no serious ice conditions. The Nashville Police Department was responsible for the recent recovery of an auto stolen out of Grand Rapids and the apprehension of a juvenile suspect in connection with the theft. The arrest was made by the local police very early New Year’s Day. The glass door of a downtown business was broken by. vandals sometime during the night hours, New Year’s Day.' The incident was discovered Tuesday morning and reported to the local police department. A nice letter was received last week from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now living in Franklin, Michigan, expressing his appreciation for the hometown news. He said he particulary enjoyed the new “Memories” series and was able to add an interesting footnote to our recent story on the Joe Hurd Garage. From 1919 to 1921, while a high school student here, Meade would on occasion make trips to Highland Park where Ford Model T’s were made and drive them back to Nashville for Hurd. “The roads were a bit different then than they are now,” he writes. Enclosed in his letter was a photo of the NHS class of 1920, taker) in the spring of 1917. All but two of the students had been identified by Meade. The picture will be published in an upcoming “Memories”, and we thank Mr. Meade for his interest in the Maple Valley News. Harlow White was taken to Community Hospital in Battle Creek last week after becoming quite ill. At the time of this report, he had been confined five days and was undergoing various tests but it was expected he would be released shortly. Mrs. Maggie Histead, a 91-year old former Nashville resident now living in a rest home, was taken to Pennock Hospital in Hastings last Wednesday. She.is a mother-in-law to Mrs. Gladys Histead of Nashville. Maggie's daughter, Mrs. William Lewis of Sundago Park at Thornapple Lake, reports that at this writing her mother’s condition remains unchanged and it is not known how much longer she will have to remain hospitalized.

The owners were not at home at the time of the fire. They had left Sunday, due to poor driving conditions, to stay in Ionia nearer their'places of employment. Anderson works in Lansing and Mrs. Anderson is employed in Ionia. The Nashville Fire Department, assisted by tankers and firemen from Hastings and Vermontville, spent five hours in the bitter cold pumping approximately 20,000 gallons of water on the blaze. High winds and temperatures at zero hampered the firemen. Nashville firefighters first on the scene entered the smoke-filled house, using Scott Air tanks. Very few flames were visible at that time, but intense heat whs building up in the structure as fire raged through par­ titions and in the attic area. An explosion of an un­ determined source blew two Nashville firemen back out the front door but, for­ tunately, neither was in­ jured. The fire burst into view and as the firemen fought to control the blaze, several trips were required to refull the tankers. The firemen stayed on the scene until 7:30 p.m. and Tuesday afternoon an additional tanker of water was taken out to cool down the smouldering debris. . According to authorities, the loss was not covered by insurance. The Andersons and their grandson, who lives with them, are staying at a motel in Ionia. Two animals die when barn roof caves in Dave Murphy of Nashville surveys the damage at his farm after his snowcovered barn roof caved in, killing a two month old heifer and a full grown steer. The beef cow, shown in the photo, has been down since the incident occured early Sunday rriorning. Details of the story appear in the Nashville News column Written by Mrs. Ray Hinckley.

(Maple Valley News Photo) The Maple Valley boys varsity basketball team split last week’s contests losing Friday afternoon at Central Montcalm 57-43 and winning Saturday afternoon 66-65 against Portland. The Lions cold first quarter shooting gave the host Hornets a 18-4 ad­ vantage which the visitors could not overcome. A sluggish offense and lack of rebounding slowed the Lion pursuit. MV did come within 9 points of the Hornets by applying pressure defense in the third quarter but the Lions failed to convert on the Hornet turnovers. Andy Joostberns tallied 22 point for the Lions. Kim Ritter scored 17 points for Central. Central Montcalm stands 4-2 in league play. Jeff Mead and Tom Gurd played key rolls in the close 66-65 win over winless Portland on Saturday. Jeff Mead went to the freethrow line and calmly sank the two points that put MV ahead with 12 seconds left to play. On the return down court Tom Gurd grabbed the rebound from an errant Raider shot and clinched the victory for his Lion team. Valley had a 12 point lead in the first half that was dissapated by the 15 points the Raiders scored at freethrow line in the second quarter. They were 29 of 35 for the night. Valley trailed 37-38 at the half. MV outscored the Raiders 14-6 in the third period taking Cont.

The most recent blast, which started January 13th, followed on the heels of air New Year s ice storm, and mounds of new snow topped layers of ice below, making travel very hazardous and creating a real hardship for many local residents Wildlife, as well as domestica ted animals, a Iso continued to suffer as a result of our January storms Livestock was lost at the Dave Murphy farm on East Street when a bam roof collapeed under an 18inch burden of snow The mishap apparently occured about 4 a.m. Sunday morning but was not discovered until 7 a m Killed instantly by the cave-in was a 2 month old heifer A full grown steer, suffering from extreme shock, had to be destroyed. Another beef cow, ready to freshen, ts still down though she sustained no apparent injuries other than shock. The animal to taking nourishment, however, and to expected to survive. Friends and neighbors of the Murphys gathered in the bitter cold early Sunday to aid in lifting debris to free the trapped cattle Fortunately, the bulk of Murphy’s herd had taken . shelter for the night in an adjoining bam which was not damaged. Classes at Maple Valley resumed last Wednesday, after being called off follinving’ the most recent winter blast However, by noon, weather conditions had deteriorated to the point that classes were again dismissed School was also cancelled Thursday and Friday. “When push came to shove”: it was last week in our village as friends, neighbors, and even strangers, stopped to aid one another in freeing trapped vehicles from the clut ches of snow One bright side of the storm to see, and ap­ preciate, such kindness. Snow by the truck load was removed from Nashville's Main Street last week by the village DPW crew. Using a front-end loader and dump truck, the men worked several days on gigantic task to clear parking areas and in­ tersections. The crew has worked virtually “around the clock" recently, plowing village streets to keep them safe and passable The recent blizzard did not deter friends of Mrs. Tim (Bessie) Smith of Nashville from gathering for a birthday party in her honor, Saturday evening The January 13th event was hosted by Bessie’s sister and brother-in-law, Betty and Kendal Wilcox of Nashville. Mrs. Larry (June) Decker of Nashville was able to return home from Pennock Hospital two days after her recent admittance. June was taken to the hospital by Nashville ambulance after becoming suddenly very ill while down­ town at her husband’s service station. She underwent a .series of tests and is now feeling improved. ’ Plans for a month of special Sundays are underway at the Nashville Baptist Church. February has been designated “Family Month" and will include special days to honor in­ laws, sweethearts, children, and grandparents. Complete details will be published next week. Congratulations to Cheryl Barton and Martin Kane who were married Saturday afternoon, January 13th, during the height of our recent blizzard. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Leonard Putnam at the Nashville United Methodist Church and was followed by a reception in the Church Community House. Cheryl is the daughter of Joan and Walter Neff, and Martin is the son of Leonard and Marian Kane, all of rural Nashville. Mrs. Charles Askins of Nashville recently returned from a two-weeks Christmas visit with her son and family, the Raymond Askins, at Boyne City, Michigan. Three grand­ children were home from college to join in the holiday festivities. A proud “first time” grandmother is Mrs. Jean Hickey of Nashville. The new arrival was born December 27 to Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Depriester of Seminole, Texas. Mrs. Depriester is the former Debbie Hickey of Nashville. The baby, a tiny girl, arrived ahead of schedule and weighed in at only 4 lbs. 13 ozs. She has been named Sara Rae Jean and is progressing very well. Maternal grandfather is Raymond Hickey of rural Nashville. The baby’s parternal grand­ parents reside in Hastings. Ray Pennock of Nashville, who was recently hospitalized at Pennock in Hastings suffering with heart problems, was able to return home last Tuesday. Although he still tires easily, he is showing improvement, his wife reports. She has also been ill recently and receiving medical treatment Several colorful personalities from Nashville’s earlier days have been suggested as possible subject for our weekly “Memories" feature. Does anyone have a photo of “Ha” Taylor they would lend for reprinting? She is just one of many special people who stand out in the memories of local residents. “Ma” and her husband, Jim, operate a livery stable on South Main Street for many years and became somewhat of a legend in our village. Many tales abound regarding her kindness to local school younsters who stabled their horses at Taylor’s. Another interesting character, whose photo we are also seeking, is Henry Roe and his onehorse wagon. “I can still picture him with his white goatee,” writes Nashville native Wayne Fuller, now of Toledo. A recent letter from Fuller, a faithfull Maple Valley News subscriber, mentioned several possibilities for future “Memories” features. If anyone has pictures of Nashville’ past to share, they are asked to please call this reporter. The photos will be safely reproduced and returned to the owner, with acknowledgment given the lender. Our thanks to all who have shown such an interest in this project The Nashville Fire Department, assisted by tankers and firemen from Vermontville and Hastings, battled a house blaze on Maple Grove Road last Monday, spending five hours on the scene. They were hampered by high winds and bitter cold. The house and contents, belonging to the David Andersons, were considered a total loss. A complete report on the fire appears elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News. Abandonded vehicles created headaches for local police officals and road clearing crews last week, and added to the work load of the busiest men in town; the. tow truck operators. The Nashville Police Department received a report last Wednesday of a battery missing from an auto that had been left parked three days in the downtown area. The vehicle was finally ordered towed away by the property owner, and it was then discovered that the car’s battery was gone. Another abandonded vehicle, left parked on Main Street for two days during the recent storm, was ordered towed away by the Nashville Police last week. The auto, which was completely covered with snow, was registered to a Verlmontville individual. The Builder’s Sunday School Class of the United Methodist Church will meet at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Eldbn Day in Nashville at 8:00 p.m. Wednesday, January 24th. Mrs. Erma Feighner, a Nashville native now residing at the Barry County Medical Care Facility, celebrated her 90th birthday last Wednesday, January 17th. Mrs. Emily Hafner of Nashville remains confined at Barry County Medical tare Facility, following a recent stay at Pennock Hospital. Mrs. Hafner is 98 years of age. Albert Conklin of rural Nashville recently brought us a report taken from an old travel diary, relating a 1934 trip by several local residents through Michigan’s Upper Penin­ sula. “On Tuesday morning, August 14, the yard of A.J. Miller’s residence in Assyria Twp. was filled with friends and neighbors to see a load of people off for the northland, and at nine o’clock the party was made up including Arthur, Rose, and Belle Miller; Frank, Frances, and Dorothy Green; Ivan Briggs; Lucy Butler; Eleanor Cotton; Bert Clark; Clifford, Lena, and Sarah Conklin; Mr. Darby and son Dorr; Flora Taylor; Olive Tobias; Lyman Tompkins; Bert May; Norma Case; and Fred Potter, all anxious to explore the Upper Peninsula,” the story begins. A daily account follows. Although Conklin is unsure of the author, the diary is filled with astute historical and geographical observations of the area, as well as day-to-day experiences during the eleven-day journey in which 1,260 miles were logged. Conlkin said the group traveled in a large truck, hauling a trailer of camping gear behind. The return trip home, via Wisconsin, included a sightseeing stopover in Chicago. An interesting note near the end of the excursion: “Wednesday morning, August 22, (On U.S. 100) Cross into Illinois; met 30 cars in 10 minutes. Very level, productive land. Lucy gets song books out and we have singing. An airplane wrote‘Phillips 66’ in the sky on clouds.”” Last Wednesday’s scheduled meeting of the Women’s Literary Club was cancelled due to bad weather. The organization will next meet in March, at which time the club’s annual reports will be given. The women had planned no February gathering due to many members being south during the winter months. Training classes for Sunday School teachers and children’s church workers will be offered at the Nashville Baptist Church in weekly Monday night sessions, starting at 7 p.m. January 21. The child Evangelism course, entitled “The Victorious Life”, will be conducted by Bill Wetzel of Hastings. All area churches are invited to sent their Sunday School teachers and others who work with children to these informative classes. Mr. and Mrs. Ard Decker recently returned from a threeweeks holiday visit with son Elton and family at Lyndon, Kansas. They accompanied another son and his wife, John and Judy Decker of Delton, who were enroute to California in their motor home. The Ard Deckers remained in Kansas with Elton while John and Judy continued to the west coast, returning by way of Kansas. Elton is a civilian flight chief for the Air National Guard at Forbes Field, and Ard and Iza enjoyed a tour of aircraft there. They also spent one weekend at Clay Center, Kansas, with the Jannetts, parents of Elton’s wife, Cherie. On the return trip to Michigan, the Deckers stopped at O’Hare International Airport to pick up the John Decker’s daughter, Marcia, who had just returned from a month’s stay in Mexico as an exchange student Marcia flew from 70 degree weather into Chicago’s zero temperature. Kansas weather was variable during the Decker's visit. It was 65 degrees the day they arrived, but a blizzard hit the Lyndon area the day prior to their departure and left four-foot snow drifts in Elton's yard. Plans for the upcoming February 17th “Sweetheart Dance” were discussed at a meeting of the Riverside Recreational Development Corp, last Wednesday evening. New officers were also elected and board members reap­ pointed by the RRDC. Chosen for two-year terms were: President, Ray Hinckley; Secretary, Suzy Corkwell; and Treasurer, Helen Curtis. Other members comprising the Board of Directors are: Lois Elliston, Dick Chaffee, Dennis Lamie, Bill Hecker, Sallye McLean, and Hal Phenix. The RRDC is a hon-profit corporation dedicated to developing recreational facilities adjacent to the Thornapple River, west of the Main stores. Helen Curtis reported on a recent meeting with Michael McDonald, a state DNR grants coordinator. The RRDC is currently seeking a Water and Land Conservation Grant to help fund the proposed park. Walls were rising up around the new addition to Carl’s Market on Reed Street last week, despite our bitter cold weather and mounds of snow. The expansion will add 5,100 square feet of display area to the existing store. Completion date of the project is still hinging on father weather con­ ditions, says store owner Don Joseph. Sunday worship services at several area churches were cancelled January 14th, due to hazardous driving conditions created by our recent heavy snowstorm. However, a total of 116 worshipers arrived at the Nashville Baptist Church, Sunday morning. But special services which had been scheduled that day to honor the church’s bus workers had to be postponed until January 21st. An organizational meeting of a new group, to be known as “Friends of Putnam Library”, will be held next Tuesday morning, January 30, at 10:00 a.m. in the library. “Friends” Continued on page 10 “Two-Party Budget Service may help you save money on your phone bill.

The author also consulted with Gerald Aldrich of Nashville High­ way in Vermontville before writing her story.) Farmers have got to be the biggest gamblers in the entire world! If the cost of producing, rain - too much or not enough, too hot or too cold - don’t get you, the roll of the dice by our govern­ ment certainly will. In the 30’s, the government first started paritity, they have played fast and loose with that equality every since. Paritity is equality, the farmer wants only to be equal, that’s basic. Their aim, to keep the fertility of the soil, to keep producing, and earn the cost of production plus a reasonable profit. When the government cut out liming, its cause was lower production. Farmers want a say in the issue of land use and wet lands, and a market for raw materials produced here, that is consistant. Cost or borrowed money can put farmers out of business quick. Too much grain and cattle coming in from other countries, tariff too extreme, out of balance. Farm dollars generate of times into the economy. After each war the government has imposed another ruling on the farmer to keep them under thumb, now the government hand is covering their (farmers) entire face.

January 24, 1979— Page 4 Local woman's game serves as living memorial to Cloverleaf class matesBy Susan Hinckley Thirty years ago, when Mrs. Adah Steele of Nash­ ville first devised a bingo­ like game to entertain members of her church’s Cloverleaf Class, little did she realize it would serve as a living memorial to members long after they were gone. Adah, who joined the Cloverleaf in 1934, named each square on thirty hand­ made 5x6 inch cards after a different member of the class. In place of the letters B-IN-G-O, Adah placed the heading G-I-R-L-S on her cards; otherwise rules for the game were essentially the same. “Under G, Pauline,” the caller might announce. “Under I, Nettie, . . . Under R, Lanah, . . . Under L, Stella,... Under S, Della” .. . and on the game would go, until a vertical, horitzontal, or diagonal placement of markers decided a winner. Small, inexpensive prizes of candy, fruit, pencils, etc. were awarded. But more than en­ tertainment, the game - still played these many years later has immortalized some of the 70-plus ladies who comprised the class. Pauline Lykins, Nettie Parrott, Lanah Fisher, Stella Purchis, Della Brown . .. all now deceased but each remembered today by the players. “When the names are called, it reminds us of the ones we have lost,” muses Mrs. Steele, “We recall the good time we had together — the trips, picnics, and other outdoor activities we were able to enjoy in younger days.” The Cloverleaf Class, NEW DUMPING RATES — at the — VERMONTVILLE LANDFILL EFFECTIVE FEBRUARY 3, 1979 PASSENGER CAR......................... 1.00 STATION WAGON................ 1.50 2 WHEEL TRAILER Up to 24" sides.............. *2.00 PICKUP.................................. ’2.00 PICKUP WITH SIDEBOARDS *3.00 *2.00 VANS....................................

Vermontville Village Council January 4,1979 SHPDBIU formed in 1914 as a study and service group of the Evangelical Church has been continous since that time. When the Evangelical United Brethern Church merged with the Methodist in 1969, to become the United Methodists, the Cloverleaf Class requested permission to retain their original name which had, by then, become very well-known in the community. The local ladies met monthly to conduct a business meeting, but mostly to enjoy friendship, hymn singing, and lessons. In earlier years entertainment was furnished in a variety of ways, including skits; contests, spelling bees, and stunts. “But the members grew older,” said Mrs. Steele, “and we were less agile, and ready for quieter activity.” That is when she decided to create a game “that could be played sitting at a table.” It was then the late 1940’s and, today, GIRLS is still a favorite pastime of the organization. Several of the ladies featured in the game are still around to hear their names called. They included Nellie Moon, Edith Jones, Dorothy Edmonds, Margaret Hecker, Alice Fisher, Mary Ed­ monds, Bernice Shaw, Robie Pufpaff, Quma Smith (now in northern Michigan), Hazel Morgenthaler, Melissa Showalter, Bessie Brown (though she’s in California), Mabel Brumm, Fern Hawblitz, Frieda Laurent, Carol Jones, Elsie Cogswell, Hilda Baas, and, of course, Adah. In only two instances - the names Nellie and Bessie did Mrs. Steele find a duplication. Of those, Nellie Brumm and Bessie Decker have now passed on. Other members, whose names are still called, but have gone on are: Edna parts Cole, Grace Brumm, Alberta Howell, Amber Reid, Maud Ackett, Sylvia Welch, Audrey Appleman, Alma Leibhauser, - Cora Warner, June Nesbet, Wilma Kreig, Doris Oke, Ella Garlinger, Lillian Titmarsh, Bertha Bennett, and Daisy Scothorne. No charter members of the class remain but the present membership, which has added several new names since Adah created her game, sitll meets regularly for study, socializing, and sercice. Many a sickroom in the Nashville community has been brightened by a cheery greeting card from the Cloverleaf ladies, a class tradition which, like Adah’s GIRLS, lives on.

Railroad St., Hastings 945*9926 It’s that time of year again when many of Eaton County residents will be traveling to Kardel Hall in Charlotte every Saturday. They will be signing up for the nine week class, “The Art of Being a Clown.” They will learn what clowning is all about, types of clowns, history of clowning, understanding themselves and others, clown etiquette, facial ex­ pressions, exercise, tum­ bling, clown costume, selecting a clown name, pantomine and skits, clown props, magic, puppetry, balloon art and last, but not least, .they jvill learn the art of putting on the clbwn make-up. The final test to the students who may range in age from 12-112 will be a live performance in front of a live audience at the Junior High School in Charlotte on March 30, 1979. All family, friends and all of Eaton County will be invited to attend, so this date should be set aside on your calendars now. The instructor will be Dixie Brand, who has taught the class for the past two ‘ years. When Mrs. Brand started the first class, she had two goals. The first was to teach others in the county "to be clowns as she did not want to be the only clown in Eaton County. The second goal was to reproduce herself not only as a clown but as a clown teacher. This, she feels, will happen after this class graduates in March. They will have at least five.teachers who will teach smaller classes in all parts of the county. Therefore, students will not have to drive so far to attend class. * Mrs. Brand does not plan on teaching “The Art of Being a Clown” again. She may go on and teach an advance class to those who have taken this class. The class to begin the 27th of January at 10:00 a.m. and lasting until noon, will have many new ideas and methods that Mrs. Brand has learned from the workshop and materials she has ob­ tained in the past two years. She encourages all past students to come back and pick up and add to their past knowledge. Upon graduating from this class, all clowns are then invited to become a member of the Eaton County 4-H Clown Club. This is a very lively group,, who have had more fun entertaining in and Send your Valentine to 'College Week' Margaret Ann Ross, Ex­ tension Home Economist, Eaton County With Valentine’s Day coming up next month, personnel from Michigan State University’s Cooperative Extension Service have come up with an origial and educational gift for that special someone. The gift is College Week, a June 18-21 learning-living experience on the MSU campus, which annually, attracts more than 1,000 participants from every county in Michigan. The event includes approximately 50 class selections, with topics like time management, paren­ ting, stress, self esteem and menopause just a few of the offerings. Participants stay in a campus dormitory with food service. This year, room and board, class selections and other programs costs only $65 for the four days* ac­ cording to Wilma Miller, program coordinator. In addition, commuters who wish to attend just the classes pay only $18 and, for a one-day look at the program, the cost is just $10. According to Miller, last year’s College Week at­ tracted 1,700 people, with 43 percent attending for the first time. And, she notes that more than 400 par­ ticipants received some financial aid from organizations, businesses or other agencies in their communities. This year, the theme for College Week is “We Make a Difference.” And, like previous years, it is spon­ sored by the MSU Cooperative Extension Service’s Family Living Education program and the College of Human Ecology. College Week registration deadline is June 1. More information on the program may be obtained by phoning Ann Ross, Eaton County Extension Home Economist, phone 543-2310. around Eaton County than a barrel of monkeys. Some of the places which were privileged to have the 4-H Clowns were: area rest homes, hospitals, schools, birthday parties, children’s Christmas parties, Special Olympics, Happiness Fair, Frontier Days, store openings, weddings, reunions and, of course, parades. They are a service group. The Eaton County 4-H Clown Club has a long term goal. That is to purchase a bus which would be used to attend (as a group) many enrichment events, events which would help them to become better clowns. This bus will be purchased from the monies the clown dub earns when helping at the above mentioned events, when monies are given. They also make a make-up booth at the County Fair which is their biggest money making project. It is not too late to sign up for this class. You may call the Extension Office at 543-2310, or call Mrs. Brand at 726-1100, or just come to the first class on January 27th at Kardel Hall (on the fairgrounds) in Charlotte at 10:00 a.m. This is open to 12-112 year olds and they really like the Senior Citizens. There will be a small fee to cover make­ up, to be paid the first day of class.

These have been challenged in court on the basis that the tax increase was an ap­ propriation which is con­ stitutionally exempt from referendum.

Traffic Crimes - Routine traffic and parking violations used to be criminal misdemeanors, but as a result of legislation enacted in December, speeding, wrong turns and many other violations are now civil offenses which carry a fine but no im­ prisonment. Handicapped Parking The Attorney General has ruled that handicapped persons may park their cars at metered spaces for free and not be subject to local prosecution, provided their cars have state stickers identifying them as han­ dicapped-owned. This is allowed by state law. Lie Tests - It is now the law that an employer cannot require an employee to take a lie-detector test as a condition of employment. However, law enforcement agencies may still use such tests for employees who are subject to internal investigation.

However, one of the five candidates - George T. Frith - resigned his current trustee seat earlier this month and asked last week not to be included in our “Meet the Candidates” report. Frith stated he is “not actively seeking any office.” His nominating petition was filed prior to the December 19th deadline and ballots had been printed prior to his January 11th resignation from the village council Board of Trustees. Nashville Jaycees offer FREE snow shoveling to senior citizens locallyAs a community service, the newly organized Jaycees have initiated a new program of offering to shovel snow at the homes of area senior citizens and the handicapped. The service will be offered free of charge, and the organization’s president Mike Slocum says the Jaycees are willing to tackle sidewalks and even roofs. Slocum said senior citizens and the handicapped are welcome to call any oif the following members anytime they need to have snow shoveled at their homes: Mike Slocum, 852-9192; Curt Scramlinu 852-9734; Bill Kipp, 852-0879; Dan Watson, 852-1631; Hal Maxon, 948­ 2792; or Steve' Carpenter, 852-0836. The group started the program Thursday evening and shoveled snow at six different homes. “Now, we don’t know exactly where to go so we hope they will call us if they need snow shoveled," Slocum said. Persons who call should give their name, address, and telephone number. He-said the organization encourages the handicapped to join their group and praised Steve Carpenter, who uses a Xvheelchair, for his assistance Thursday in driving the snow shoverlers to their destinations. Last Thursday, Village President Harold Christiansen appointed Helen M. Curtis to fill Frith’s vacant post, until its ex­ piration in the spring. Curtis is also seeking election in February, along with Sharon A. Green, Sandra F. Kohfeldt, and Forrest C. Babcock. Biographical sketches, along with a statement by each candidate follows: Helen M. Curtis, Republican, of 311 N. Main Street, is seeking election to a two-year term as a Nash­ ville village trustee. A native of Maumee, Ohio, Helen has lived in Nashville four years and is owner­ operator of Maple Leaf Florists on North Main. She was appointed last week by Village President Harold Christiansen to fill the trustee seat recently vacated by the resignation of George Frith. Prior to the recent assignment, Helen had served six months on Nashville’s Planning and Zoning Commission. A graduate of Anthony Wayne High School in Maumee, Helen continued her education at Oh;o State University and Notre Dame College in Cleveland, Ohio, ear nig a Bachelor of Science degree in Education. She is currently working on a Masters degree in Theology from the University of Detroit. Helen taught mentally impaired students at Julie Billard Elementary School in Cleveland, then Continued on page 5- 73 agriculture census The 21st nationwide agriculture census will begin in January 1979 to cover operations in calendar 1978 of the Nation’s farmers, ranchers and other agricultural producers. The farm census in the recent past was taken every five years, but the upcoming count has been advanced in 1982. From 1840 to 1920 an agriculture census was taken every 10 years; since 1920, every five years. The agriculture census provides benchmark data for current statistical series maintained by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and other organizations. The data is widely used on the National level by decisionmakers in formulating policy. The 1978 census will be conducted in a two-phase program. The basic items asked of all farmers are: land in the farm by ownership; land use; production and sales of crops; inventory, amount sold, and sales value of livestock and poultry and operator and farm management characteristics. Simultaneously, a 20 percent of the farms will be asked for additional in­ formation to help compile estimated county totals for: value of land and buildings; selected production ex­ penses; selected farm equipment; hired farm labor; fertilizer and pesticide use; grain storage capacity ; and petroleum fuel usage and storage capacity. In the second phase, ad­ ditional sample surveys will be made in 1980 for the year 1979. Subjects under con­ sideration for these 10,000 to 50,000 farm samples include: farm energy uses, corporate structure, horticulture, onfarm irrigation, farm Continued on page 8 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, January 31, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley Ladders were up all over Nashville last week, as residents crawled onto hazardous roofs in an ^attempt to relieve the heavy burden of ice and snow. Second-story shoveling was as active as ground level snow removal, as concern about collapsing roofs increased. The predicited heavy storm, due to hit us Wednesday, was not as fierce as anticipated though classes were called off at Maple Valley the following day. High winds caused the small measure of snow that did fall to drift side roads, making travel dangerous. A fire at the Troy Foster residence on Scipio Highway, northeast of Nashville, was quickly extinguished Sunday, January 21. The Nashville Fire Department was called at 11:15 a.m. but the family had thrown dishpans of water on the blaze and it was extinguished when the firefighters arrived. There was some smoke damage to the house which is currently being remodeled. The fire apparently started when sodering was being done to install a hot water heating system, and nearby wall material ignited. An ambulance call to the Elba Ackley residence on Davenport Road by the Nashville Fire Department resulted in both Mr. and Mrs. Ackley being taken to Pennock Hospital. Mrs. Ackley had fallen in the house and, as her husband attempted to assist her, he was also stricken. Both are in their 80’s. The Ackleys were transported to hospital for treatment but their condition was reportedly not con­ sidered serious. Some local school students gathering at the Kellogg School to board buses have caused damage to a nearby church while waiting. Several instances of malicious destruction to the property have been cited recently and last week the Nashville Police Department handled a report of a door at the church being broken by the youngsters. The Nashville Maple Syrup Association held their annual meeting Friday, January 19th, and elected the following officers for the new year: President, Harold Christiansen; Vice President, Richard Martin: Secretary-Treasurer, Geneva Brumm; and Trustees: Doug Yarger, Tom Oleson, Earl Hose, and Ted Spoelstra. Syrup prices for 1979 were discussed but the matter was tabled temporarily. Tapping of the trees was done in mid-March last year, the season delayed by inclement weather, but it is too early to predict when the 1979 season will get underway. The syrup-making project is a community endeavor, with profits split among the various participating organizations. The division of proceeds is based on the hours of labor contributed on behalf of each group. A missionary to north India will speak at the Nashville Assembly of God Church Wednesday evening, January 31st, at 7 p.m. She is Miss Virginia Hamlin, who works thropugh the Assembly of God Internation Correspondence Institute in Lucknow, India. Miss Hamlin will relate her experience in missionary work and show a slide presentation, along with a display of costumes and curios of the country. Congratulations to proud new “first-time” grandparents, John and Amy Bougthon of Nashville. The new arrival was born January 17 at Butterworth Hospital to Mr. and Mrs. Martin Trimble of Grand Rapids. Mrs. Trimble is the for­ mer Alisande Boughton. The tiny baby girl, bom six weeks prematurely and weighing only 4 lbs. 7 ozs. at birth, has been named Meagan Leigh Trimble. Her ‘weight had dropped to four pounds at the time of the report, and it was expected she would remain in the hospital for at least two more weeks. An interesting footnote about Meagan’s birth involves the phenomena of ESP in animals. The John Boughtons have been keeping the Trimble’s large German Shepherd, Fred, prior to Alisande’s time for delivery. Wednesday, while John was home alone eating lunch, Fred began a terrible crying, like nothing the Boughtons had ever heard from him before. He jumped into John’s lap and seemed to be in a great state of agitation. John, for some inexplicable reason, glanced at the clock and noted that it was 1:15 p.m. When Amy returned home, John mentioned it to her. Shortly after 5 p.m., they received a call from Martin telling them Alisande had delivered by Cesearean section and at 1:15 p.m., when Fred I began his mournful uproar, the Bouthtons daughter had been in her greatest period of stress. Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville enjoyed a recent visit from her son, David, and family of Sturgis. David, wife Suzanne, and daughter, LeighAnne Michelle, spent two days here and also called on friends in the area. A conviction was obtained in 56th' District Court last Wednesday against a subject arrested in Nashville last August by Police Chief Kendal Wilcox. The subject, charged with driving under the influence of liquor and malicious destruction of property to radar equipment in the police cruiser, was subsequently arrested the same week on a similar charge by Trooper Darrell Vanderark of the ’ Michigan State Police, Wayland post. The subject pled quilty to the charges Wednesday and will be sentenced February 22nd, according to information received from District Court. A report of an auto running into a snowbank near the South End store, January 19, resulted in the driver of the vehicle being apprehended by the Nashville Police Department and lodged in the Barry County jail, for alledgedly driving under the influence of liquor. The Barry County Sheriff’s Depart­ ment assisted the local police in handling the incident. The auto was impounded by the Nashville Police and towed from the scene. While the Nashville police car was in Hastings, processing the complaint on the intoxicated suspect, a possible breaking and entering of a Nashville residence was reported to the Barry County Sheriff’s Department by a neighboring resident. Police Chief Wilcox was called at home to back up the investigating officer. Upon arrival, it was determined that the persons in the house were family members and the suspiscions unfounded. A dual surprise birthday party was staged Saturday evening, January 20, for Larry Corkwell of Nashville and Dave Hawkins of Bivens Road, at the Hawkins residence. The event was engineered by their wives, Suzy Corkwell and Brenda Hawkins, with a great assist from parents: Bernard and Betty Garvey, and Ed and Nancy Johncock, all of Nash­ ville. Suzy and Brenda were able to talk the men into dinner at the Pizza Hut in Hastings, only to return to the Hawkins home to find it filled with 55 people waiting to greet the surprised birthday “boys.” Dave and Larry were left temporarily speechless, but regained their composure shortly and enjoyed a great evening with their family and friends. > Saturday evening seemed to be the night for surprise parties. Richard Chaffee, Sr. of Thornapple Lake Road was also honored, and taken'totally by surprise, when his brothers, sisters, and sons gathered at the home of son Richard, Jr. and his wife, Marilyn, of Nashville. Richard,Sr. was celebrating his 60th birthday and it was the first sur­ prise party he had ever had. Present for the occasion were his brothers: Clarence, Keith, Ed, and Harold, and their wives, all of Hastings: his sisters; Mrs. Mary McClurkin, and Mrs. Eleanor Merrick, both of Hastings, and Mrs. Ilah Norris and her husband, Lynden, of Delton:- his sons: Richard, of Nashville, Robert of Bellevue, Ronald of Hastings, all accompanied by their wives, and Russell of rural Nashville with friend, June Caldwell. Also present was a friend, Glen Roush of Nashville, for a total of 23 in at­ tendance at a lovely potluck dinner and very special bir­ thday celebration by the Chaffee family. First to respond to last week’s request for a photo of Nash­ ville’s legendary “Ma” Taylor was Mrs. Lloyd (Elizabeth) Wilcox. She was able to furnish a photo of Mrs. Taylor leading a white horse which reportedly belonged to Leslie Adams of Barryville Road. The Wilcoxes, who lived on South Main Street near the site of the old Taylor livery stable (it was across the street from them), were able to furnish detailed information regarding the property. Also responding to our plea for assistance was Mrs. Eda Elliston ofNashville, a niece of the late Flora “Ma” Taylor. All of the material gathered from these various sources will be used in compiling an upcoming “Memories” feature on “Ma” and Jim Taylor. Many thanks to all the readers who have been so very helpful with the necessary research for the “Memories” project. The Class of 1920, featured in last week’s “Memories” also brought several calls offering information on two of the four class members whose whereabouts were reported as unknown. Numerous individuals advised us that Ada Noyes is now Mrs. Gilbert Dickinson and that she lives in Tampa, Florida. And, class member Gaylen Cronk, who had resided PRE-SPRING SPECIAL HAYDEN TRANSMISSION COOLERS 20% OFF I | in Florida, passed away in March 1976, according to information received from his cousin, Mrs. Esther Satterlee of Vermontville. The “girl in the dark sailor dress” in the photo remains a mystery. Mrs. Otto (Bernice) Dahm reported that it was defintely not Thelma Dahlstrom (our tentative indentification). Mrs. Dahm said Thelma graduated in 1922 and they were good friends. However, she is now very curious to know who the still-unidentified young lady might be. ' i Clarence Higdon of Barryville called to report he believes that Vera Walton, one of the class members feature in “Memories” photo last week, is now in Ohio. Mrs. Sena French of Nashville had furnished information that Vera had become a nun but she did not know her present whereabouts. Higdon said the last he knew, Vera was teaching in an Ohio school, but he thinks by now she may be retired. He had visited with her several years ago when she was living in Battle Creek and teaching at a parochial school there. Visiting “Tip Up Town, USA” was a recent weekend adventure for Mr. and Mrs. George (Janet) Ward; their son, Quentin, and Cinda Murphy of Nashville. The Wards, traveling in their camper home, joined three other campers of friends there for a weekend of snowmobiling and sight­ seeing at the winter carnival. The event, held on the frozen surface of Houghton Lake, draws thousands of visitors annually This year, the? festivities were extended to cover two consecutive weekends. Sponsored by the Houghton Chamber of Commerce, the carnival features a multitude of concessions and activities, including snowmobile races and torch safaris, a hot air balloon ascension, sky diving, a parade, dance, coronation of a queen, and ice sculpturing contests. The Wards mailed souvenir cards to friends from a temporary post office set up on the lake to use the postmark “Tip Up Town, USA..’ The weather was pleasant, the Wards report, but the surface of the lake was slightly rough for snowmobiling due to a light thaw and refreezing. A nice letter was received last week from Mrs. Edna (De Riar) Hill, a Nashville native now of Grand Rapids and a faithful Maple Valley News reader. Mrs. Hill said she particulary enjoyed the recent story of the 1915 New Year’s Eve roller skating party at the old Opera House in Nashville, owned by John Furniss. Mrs. Hill wrote that her grand­ mother was married to John Furniss for four years prior to his death in 1910. Although Edna was only five years old at the time Furniss passed away, she said she did “remember him a little.” The Opera House was later owned by John’s son, Clair. An interesting clipping from a 1972 Maple Valley News issue accompanied Mrs. Hill’s letter. Reprinted in the newspaper at that time were engravings of the eight members of Nashville High School graduation Class of 1893. The work was originally published in an early edition of the Nashville News. Shown in individual drawings are graduates, Edward D. Smith, Myrtle Smith, Alyah 0. Bivens, Maude M. Hough, Fernie Lentz, Harry Dickinson, Eva Brumm, and Frank C. Lentz. Also featured was H.S.Andrus, School Superintendant. Little Lisa Corkwell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Corkwell of Nashville, fell in her classroom at Fuller Street Elementary School last Wednesday, injuring an elbow. She was taken to Pennock Hospital for x-rays but it was deter­ mined that nothing was broken. Muscles and tendons were pulled however, and Lisa must carry her arm in a sling temporarily. Two long, narrow wide-angle photos of the entire Nash­ ville High School student body in the years 1922 and 1923 belong to Mrs. Elizabeth (Ritchie) Wilcox of Nashville. Approximately 100 students, plus their instructors, appear in the framed pictures which measured three feet in length, but only seven inches high. Mrs. Wilcox, who is in both photos, recalls that they were told to sit perfectly-still for a few moments while the photographer swung his camera from left to right to obtain the picture. Taken in the spring, one of the photos has a particularly interesting background of the old school house, young maples, and surrounding homes. A fascinating footnote to the 1923 picture; a young c, no more than child, an three ree of o four our years old, o, iss seated seae at a front ron and center of the large group of high school students. The youngster, notably out of place with over 100 teenagers posed behind him, was wandering around the school yard, Mrs. Wilcox remembers, when the photographer asked him tto be in the picture. The photos were taken by T.F. Mack of Battle Creek. Incidentally, Mrs. Wilcox was able to name almost every student in each picture, including married as well as maiden names for the girls. Competition is the name of the game for Gerald Swin Swin-­ dlehurst of Nashville, who was recently declared “Checker Champion” at the Nashville Senior Citizens Nutrition Site. Swindlehurst will go on to complete with the checkers tournament winner of the Hastings COA Site, but in addition he is currently looking forward to an early February trip to Lowe City, Florida, where he will compete in a shuffleboard tournament. Swindlehurst plans to be in the St. Petersburg suburb for about a month. Each day of the week will have a special meaning for Nashville Senior Citizens under a new program being in­ stituted at the COA Nutrition Site in the Masonic Temple.

David and Anetta Tredinnick and children of Hastings were Sunday dinner guests at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence (Margaret) Reid of Nashville. Sunday afternoon callers at the Reid home were son Vernon, wife Joanne and children of Charlotte. Recent Tuesday visitors of the Clarence Reids were Margaret’s parents, the Vere Robinsons of Bellevue. Warren Burdick of Nashville returned home last week following gall bladder surgery at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids. He is recovering very well. Little 5-year-old Takytha Potter of Hastings spent last week visiting her great-grandmother, Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville. A two-car collision on Sherman Street last Monday af­ ternoon resulted in very minor damage to the vehicle. A van attempting to back into a drive on Sherman did not see a vehicle approaching from the west. The right front of the van and the left front of the approaching vehicle sustained only slight damage. No injuries were reported in the mishap. The Nashville Baptist Church is looking forward to a special “Family Month” in February. Each Sunday will receive a designation to honor various family members. February 4th will be “In-Law Sunday”; the 11th, “Sweetheart Sunday”; the 18th, “Children's Sunday”; and the 25th “Grandparent’s Sunday.” In addition February will also see the Cathederal Quartet from Ohio performing at a 7 p.m. service on the 8th, and a “New Life Seminar” con­ ducted by Florida evangelist Wayne Swearingen for five consecutive nights, starting February 10th. The Riverside Recreational Development Corp, is busy planning a “Sweetheart Dance” to be held February 17th at the Fire Barn. A "sweetheart contest" is also scheduled to be held during the dance, as candidates are named and “penny votes” sought during the festivities. Proceeds will help develop a recreational park adjacent to the Thornapple River, west of the Main Street stores.

Founded in 1867 by Jacob Lentz, a French-born cabinetmaker, the table company grew from its simple origin as a small Main Street shop to become Nashville’s most prominent industry, employing well over 100 workmen at its peak, and bringing renown to the community both here and abroad. “Everyone in Nashville worked there,” a local senior citizen commented recently. “We didn’t have autos to drive out of town for jobs then.” By the 1920’s, women had also found employment at Lentz Table factory; most worked in the finishing room. The Lentz Company is credited with inspiring establishment of Nashville’s firstmunicipal water supply. An earlier Lentz factory had burned to the ground in 1891. Jacob had, by then, taken his three sons Albert, Charles, and Lewis - into partnership and the family agreed to rebuild if village fathers would guarantee an adequate water supply. The following year, in 1892, the “standpipe” was erected in Putnam Park to hold 100,000 gallons of Thornapple River Water. (Some forty years later, wells were driven to’ furnish municipal water that was also fit for drinking.) The first electrical power in Nashville is .reported to have been at the early Lentz plant where a single bulb, powered by the shop’s own generator, lighted the premises at night. Before the turn of the century, a “shilling per hour’ ’ (twelve-and-a-half cents) was reportedly being paid, by Lentz to some top Continued next column NOW BEER toa„dgo WINE Nashville C-Store A/i MARATHON 416 N.

And did you know we still have cases of Diphtheria, Whooping Cough, and Tetanus? These are not forgotten diseases. Rubella is still causing birth defects in newborn babies. And you probably are hearing this year of all the cases of measles around, even in high school. Why take the risk of your child - either infant or school age - having one of these diseases. Check their immunization record and see if it is up to date. Parents - don’t wait until your child is ready for school. Protect them early starting at 2 months with Diphtheria, Whooping Cough, and Tetanus. Three of these given 2 months apart with a reinforcing dose 1 year later, a booster at and Kindergarten age Diphtheria and Tetanus at 15 years. Oral Poltcf is given along with the D.P.T. Measles and Rubella is given after 15 months of age. Mumps is not required for school entrance but recommended. If they are missing any of these, please check with your Physician or Local Health Department soon. The Barry-Eaton District Health Department has an all day day immunization immunization clinic clinic all the 1st Wednesday of each month at 528 Beech Street in Charlotte from 9:00-11:00 a.m. and 1-3:30 p.m. Our next immunization clinic will be held February 7, 1979.

Although a few votes changed, the election results did not. Big Boost-The decision of the Republican National Committee to hold the 1980 GOP Convention in Detroit will provide a big stimulus to the economy in that city and in the state. Estimates of money that will come in range from $7 to $17 million. Snow Hotline-Many people don’t want to know about more snow, but if you’re one of Michigan’s thousands of ski enthusiasts, you’ll probably want to call the Michigan Travel Bureau’s toll free “snow hotline,” 800-292-2529, to check on snow elsewhere. License Plates-You have about four weeks left to buy your 1979 license plates by mail, by sending in the prepared application which you may have received in the mail. If you didn’t get one, of if you prefer to buy your plates in person, stop in soon at your local Secretary of State’s office. Be sure you take along your proof of no-fault insurace. Mistress Benefits-The state Supreme Court has narrowly affirmed workers’ compensation benefits for a woman who lived with a married man at the time of his work-related death, who has since moved in with another man. Chief Justice Mary Coleman dissented: “If a mistress can be legally designated a ‘widow’ or ‘wife’, the legal waves are seemingly endless.” Consumer Calendar-The Michigan Consumers Council has published its 1979 Consumer Calendar, which describes typical consumer problems, provides tips on how to avoid them and tells where to go for help. Write the Council at 414 Hollister Building, Lansing 48933. It’s free! Car Leases-The Attorney General has ruled that automobile leasing companies cannot refuse to lease vehicles to people merely because they are less ant 21 years old. Although earlier law allowed this, our 1976 civil rights law specifically outlaws discrimination based on age. Park Fee-If you’re planning to visit Michigan state parks this year, you should adjust your budget to allow for in­ creased park fees. As of January 5, daily park permit fees went up to $2. from $1., while the annual fee went up to $7.00 from $4.00 Savings Tips-The Financial Institutions Bureau has published “Taking Interest in Your Savings,” which describes different types of savings plans and things to consider in addition to interest rates.

The table company grew and prospered in its new location, adjacent to the Michigan (later New York) Central Railroad line. When Albert’s sons, Frank and Carl, joined the business it became a third-generation family operation. Following the retirement of Jacob’s grandsons in the late 1940’s , the factory finally closed. Plycoma Veneer Company sub­ sequently bought the property but discontinued operating a business there in the late 1960’s.

The January Intentions Report released by the Michigan Agricultural .Reporting Service, reflects growers mid-winter plans and offers growers a preview of what to expect in this crop year. Naturally, actual plantings may differ from current indications because of prices, market conditions, change of plans, and government programs existing at seeding time. Corn acreage intentions are set at a record 2,850,000 acres, up 7 percent from last year. Soybean plans call for 900,000 acres, 11 percent above the 1978 record.

But one thing is sure - the funeral service can, and often does, renew, reinforce, or even originate a person's belief in spiritual survival. V FUNERAL DIRECTORS 'Voqt FUNERAL HOME in Nashville Phone 852-0840 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, January 31, 1979_ Page 7 Obituaries Western Sweetheart Dance — AND — LaVerne C. Hazen Battle ' Creek Choralaires to present concert in Vermontville The Choralaires, 33 students from the Grand Rapids School of the Bible and Music, will present a musical concert at Vermontville Bible Church on February 4th at 11:00 a.m. The Grand Rapids School of the Bible and Music offers a concentrated education in the Bible. Music is also a major emphasis at the school, and over 100 of the 640 students are involved in a weekly musical ministry. Rev. John Miles, the school's founder and president, has stated, "The unique character of the Bible institute meets a burgeoning need in today's society. That need is to relate man to God in a positive manner as prescribed in the Holy Scriptures. Our school's lovely 20-acre campus provides excellent facilities for meaningful training." The music of the Choralaires is designed to fulfill that concept. Their director, Mr. David Traeger, has planned their repertoire to give a balanced program of hymns, gospel songs and spirituals that are conservative in arrangement but bright and pleasing in style. The public is cordially invited to attend. There is no admission charge.

The Senate and House Appropriations Committees bear the responsibility for determining how state tax dollars are to be allocated each fiscal year. Due to the heavy and time­ consuming workload which members of the Appropriations Committee must manage, Allen will no longer serve on the Senate Standing Committees on Education and Agriculture, Tourist Industry and Con­ sumer Affairs. He said he will continue to remain actively involved in legislation pertaining to his former committee assign- ments, however. Allen said he is looking forward to serving on the Senate Appropriations Committee, particularly in working to make the state’s School Aid formula more equitable. “Seats on the Ap­ propriations Committee are traditionally reserved for the Senate’s most most senior members,” Allen pointed out. “As a result of my previous experience on various other standing committees and in dealing with all of the 19 state departments over the past several years, I have learned a great deal about how state government and the Legislature operate. I’m enthusiastic now about having the opportunity to apply my knowledge to the appropriations process - and to learn more.” “I have some very definite opinions about budget areas that need changing and I intend to voice them,” Allen vowed. Allen recently cosponsored a successful amendment to the Senate rules requiring proposed Senate program budgets to be submitted to the Ap­ propriations Committee each year. - Mr. LaVerne C.

The census will continue to monitor trends in domestic ownership and control of land. The last census taken in 1974 showed a five-year gain in the number of U.S. corporate farms from 22,000 to 29,000. Land operated by corporations increased from 80 to 97 million acres, and the value of farm products rose from $6 billion to $14 billion. A special corporate survey based on the census showed that most of the corporations were family owned and operated. Are You Required to com­ plete and return this Report Form?

Cooperative Extension News Nutrition is timely a topic at any age - but expecially important for infants and pre-schoolers, according to Extension home economist Ann Ross. The Hanes nutrition study found that 14 percent of the white and 23 percent of the black children 1 to 5 years of age consumed food providing less than their allowance for food energy. Other nutrition surveys have found children’s diets to be low in calcium, iron, vitamins A and C.

Fine performances were turned in by Jeff Mead and Tom Gurd who were called upon to bring the ball up the court against an aggressive Caledonia press. Chris Beebe also helped Valley run it’s offense against the Scotties. Ken Hansbarger scored his 13 points in the first half helping the Lions gain their big first half advantage. Andy Joostberns netted a game high 19 points and pulled down 17 rebounds. Jeff Mead added 11 points for the Lions and Kevin Kilpatrick 8. Tony Joostberns grabbed 10 rebounds. Doug Cook, Dave Munn, Don Fox, and Brian Hamilton also saw action for the Lions. Friday the Lions traveled to Montabella in a league contest and returned with a stunning 66-45 win. The first quarter scoring sent the Montabella fans screaming as the host Mustangs jumped to a 19-8 point lead over MV. 12 of the Mustang points came from John Crooks who scored a total 16 for the night. But Valley came back with some solid defense and strong rebounding. Leading the second quarter scoring at­ tack was Don Fox who netted 8 of his 10 points in this quarter. The Lions trailed 28­ 31 at the half. Then another Lion took over. Senior co-captain Ken Hansbarger sparked the second half comeback with aggressive defensive and offensive play. Along with his season high 14 points, Hansbarger recorded 4 assists. Andy Joostberns scored 16 points for Maple Valley and brother Tony added 12. The win puts Maple Valley 4-3 in league play.

He’ll slip a slick' knock­ down move on your un­ convinced and unconditioned body so fast you’ll wonder how Christopher Reeve ever got that new Superman movie role over this tough 98- pounder from Maple Valley High School. Ray, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Barlond, Sr., is a special kid. He’s special to his family, naturally, but he’s special to his teachers and the kids who know him as a sophomore at Maple Valley, too. What makes him special isn’t so much his guts-any athlete that has to fight his body merely to live a normal When you want results.. .. . give our classified department a call!

Maple Valley News Phone 945-9554 life would have to have them. But it’s how he handles all that toughness It’s hidden behind a shy smile and a quiet voice that belies the fierce determination learned early and never lost. Ray’s life goals were soon established when, at the age of five, a tractor accident severed his left leg just below the knee. He may eveli have been too young then to realize that walking, run­ ning, jumping, and even­ tually wrestling were going to be harder for him to learn than for most of his peers­ even with an artificial leg, or prosthesis. He never even gave it a thought. But there were limitations for this youngest of four children,. there was self­ consciousness-most of it imposed by others. “How do you run? Does it hurt? How did it happen? Aren’t you scared?” Ray has heard them all. But the curiosity-seekers don’t bother the slender 15year-old anymore because his campaign to show the world that he can run almost as fast as the best in his class, play a mean game of baseball, and even carry a 140 bowling league average at Charlotte’s Char Lanes has convinced everybody. The wrestling crowd at Maple Valley is certainly convinced. Ray is undefeated through seven varsity dual meets and flashes an 11-3 overall record which includes a 2nd place finish in the Maple Valley Invitational. Lion Wrestling Coach Chris Ricketts con­ cedes that his 98-pounder is the “crowd favorite.” “Ray is a sentimental favorite here, he gets a lot of crowd support, even from his opponents. They find out in a hurry that once Ray gets on the mat he can wrestle and has ability.” Ricketts Scoffs at any suggestion that sentiment played a part in Barlond’s selection to the Lion team. “Hey, he’s our 98-pounder. He had to challenge- wrestle two' team members to get there and he’s just coming into his own on the wrestling mat.” So impressed are others with Barlond’s ability that after one recent invitational wrestling match in which Ray lost, the father of his opponent phoned Ray to express his appreciation for the Maple Valley youngster’s ability and drive. Barlond not only has learned to work around his handicap but has even found ways to use it to his ad­ vantage. “Without the leg my op­ ponents have less to grab on to and work with,” explains the sly tactician of the wrestling art. The prosthesis could probably give me more leverage but it’s just easier to wrestle without it.” Michigan High School Athletic Association rules state that wrestlers with articial limbs may use them in competition-a reversal from recent stands on the issue taken by the MHSSA. Barlond does find his prosthesis a necessity for most every other activity and, of course, the running essential for wrestling fit­ ness. However, he likes the slip-slidin’ away from op­ ponents- afforded without artificial help. Barlond’s wrestling success has been a long time in coming-in fact, it nearly didn’t come at all. Only through a most unique situation at Maple Valley and the persistent concern of Ray’s teachers has the young man been able to light the fire which burns so in­ tensely today. Almost unbelievably, Barlond is the third athlete at Maple Valley in recent years to be handicapped by the loss of a leg. Rdy, being at the end of that chain, probably benefited the most because as a junior high youngster he saw positive examples of overcoming handicaps. “Ray got interested in wrestling during junior high school,” relates Ricketts, “when he saw Brian Wendorf wrestle. Brian also lost a leg but overcame it well m enough to win 20 matches for us in his senior year at Maple Valley two years ago. “Ray’s teachers were also helpful in encouraging him to go out, especially Dan Watson who worked with him a lot.” The investment of concern has paid rich dividends for a youth who has not only overcome a handicap through wrestling but conquered the fears and doubts which plague many people in similar situations. “Wrestling has been good for Ray,” continues a proud Coach Ricketts. “It’s been a positive thing too, I think, from the standpoint of anyone who does come into our school as a handicapped person sees other people getting out and overcoming disability.” Ditto Mr. Barlond. “Wrestling is jny favorite sport because you have to go out there and do things by yourself,’’speaks the mature young man. “You don’t have to worry about your team. Well, you do worry about the team doing good but when it’s you out there it all comes down to individual effort.” Ray is particularly looking forward to tonight's scheduled match at Lakeview where he will test individual effort against last year’s state finals cham­ pionship runnerup wrestler, Terry McKenna. It will be the stiffest competition Barlond will have seen thus far this year. To just complete an opening handshake with an opponent of . McKenna’s ability will be a triumph for Ray. It will be his signal to the world that he has arrived, he has proved that he rates with the best. Trouble is, that's not enough. He plans on winning. a n k PERMANENT > QUESTIONS?

Last year’s syrup season was delayed until mid­ March because of inclement weather. At its recent annual meeting, Harold Christiansen was! re-elected president of the NSA, a post he has held for 12 years. The syrup association has been active since it was formed in 1942, with the exception of one year, Christiansen notes. Syrup making is a com­ munity project in Nashville under the guidance of the a NSA, volunteer organization. Profits from the syrup production are spilt among the participating organizations according to the hours of labor con­ tributed on behalf of each group. Disbursements from the 1978 production were: Nash­ ville Fire Department, $937.48; Boy Scouts, $680.84; Girl Scouts, $95.00; Nashville Explorers, $86.30; Little League Baseball, $114.00; United Methodist. Church, $402.80; Nashville Lions, $440.80; and the Nashville Park Association, $1,204.60. Nashville ambulance elects officers SUSAN Hinckley Members of the new Nash­ ville ambulance system held an organizational meeting at the fire barn last Monday night and elected officers for the year. : Selected as President was John Joseph; as Vice­ President, Pat Lingholm; and as Secretary, John Mason. The membership, which is comprised of all ambulance personnel and Emergency Medical Technician at­ tendants, also approved having the newly-elected officers form a committee to draw up operational guidelines for the ambulance department. The Nashville ambulance, more correctly known as the Castleton-Maple GroveNashville ambulance, is now being operated as a separate entity, apart from the Nash­ ville Fire Department Several Nashville firemen, however, are still active in both the ambulance system and the fire department, responding to both types of calls. The Nashville ambulance system though, has recently added six new attendants who are not connected with the local fire department, and who respond only to calls from the ambulance. All certified Emergency Medical Technicians, they are: Pat Lingholm; James Cooley; Douglas Aspinall; Bernard Hoffman; Tony Frith; and Williams East­ man, all of Nashville. EMT attendants who also serve as Nashville firefighters are: John Joseph; Lee Christopher; John Mason; and Gale Wetzel. Additional Nashville firemen are also involved in Cont. page 4 The Nashville Syrup Association, at its recent annual meeting, elected officers for the new year.

(Maple Valley News Photo) Vermontville's Opera House is getting an early spring cleaning By Elaine Gilbert The picturesque Ver­ montville Opera House in the heart of the village will be receiving some special at­ tention this month in a threephase clean-up project being undertaken by three local organizations. The Opera House, registered by fhe state as a historic site, was once the hub of social gatherings at the turn of the century. Today, Vermontville residents still use the building as a library and for township meetings, elec­ tions, and an occasional play but, many want to see more activities staged there and are willing to help get the building in shape for more extensive use. That’s what the clean-up projects in February are all about. The Vermontville Historical Society, the Maple Valley Drift Skippers Snowmobile Club, and Vermontville Girl Scouts and Cont. page 11 Unusual potato is just right for Valentine’s Day No doubt "Cupid” would do a double take if he could see this unusual heart­ shaped potato that four-year-old Faith Ann Phares of Nashville is holding. Faith's aunt, Vicki Phares of Barryville Rd., Nashville, discovered the unique vegetable in a bushel of potatoes recently. The unusual potato was grown by Vicki's grandfather, Cleaton Cantrell of Marshall, who has a large garden and gives the Phares several bushels of his produce every year. Vicki said it was quite a surprise to the family to discover the heart-shaped spud and a coincidence to be just in time for Valentine's Day at that. Members of Vermontville's Historical Society stand on the steps of the village's picturesque Opera House which played an important community role in the past and still promises to be a focal point for increased activities in the future. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, February?, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley Losses continued to mount at the Dave Murphy farm on East Street following a recent cave-in of a snow burdened barn roof. The January 21st collapse killed a two-month-old heifer and left a full grown steer in such a state of shock that it had to be destroyed. Last week, a third animal that had 'been down since the mishap, had to be destroyed. Although the beef cow had suffered no apparently serious injuries other than shock, she would not stand. When she began losing weight rapidly, despite taking nourishment, it was decided to destroy her. Ready to freshen in three weeks, an attempt was made to save her calf by Cesearean section. However, the tiny animal survived only about five minutes after delivery, although it was apparently unharmed by the tragedy. The Golden Agers of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet Friday, February 9th, for a noon potluck dinner at the church community house. Dr. Kenneth Vaught, pastor of Hope United Methodist Church in Hastings, delivered the morning message at the Nashville United Methodist Church worship service Sunday. The new Nashville ambulance system, now being operated as a separate entity apart from the Nashville Fire Department, held an organizational meeting last Monday and elected officers for the year. Complete details on the new system appear in a report appearing elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News. Nashville firefighters were called to the David Friddle farm on Cloverdale Road, south of Nashville, shortly after noon last Wednesday to extinquish a reported barn fire. A lean-to adjacent to a small pole barn had caught fire from a heat lamp in the structure which housed a sow and seven piglets. Three of the little ones were lost in the mishap, but the other four and the sow were rescued. Although the leanto was a total loss, Friddle said he is very thankful his pole barn was saved. It sustained some fire damage. The Nash­ ville Fire Department was assisted with traffic control at the scene by Nashville Police and the Eaton County Sheriff’s Department. Herald Hansen of Devine Road underwent extensive open heart surgery at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids last Tuesday. At this writing he is still in the intensive care unit there but is making very good progress, his wife reports. Although it is not known at this time how much longer he must remain hospitalized, Mrs. Hansen expects it will be about ten days. We wish him a very speedy recovery. Mrs. George (Pat) Vogt of Nashville, who suffered a broken hip in a pre-Christmas fall at her home, is now at the Barry County Medical Care Facility for therapy and recuperation following surgery and several weeks of confinement at Pennock Hospital. Pat gets around with a walker but will riot be allowed to put weight on her leg until six weeks after surgery when the bone mending should be complete. A letter was received last week from Ada Noyes Dickinson, a member of Nashville’s Class of 1920 which was recently featured in our “Memories of the Past” story. Ada is married to Gilbert Dickinson and they have lived in Tampa, Florida, for the past 27 years. She and her husband celebrated their 58th wedding anniversary last October, she reports. The mystery of the “girl in the dark sailor dress” in the Class of 1920 picture was also cleared up by Mrs. Noyes’ letter. Several local residents have been trying to identify her after we established it was not Thelma Dahlstrom (our tentative identification). “The girl in the dark sailor dress is not Thelma Dahlstorm, but Edna Peterson,” writes Mrs. Noyes, “and I think her parents lived on a farm south of Nashville.” Additional information about classmate Vera Walton was also supplied by Mrs. Noyes. We have also received several local calls about Vera—one from her first-cousin-onceremoved, Nellie Moon of Nashville. Mrs. Noyes’ letter confirmed the local reports that Vera, a nun, is at Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana. She is know as Sister Dolorilda and works as a nurse in the students’ infirmary. Mrs. Moon said her cousin pays a visit to Battle Creek usually once a year and often stops in Nashville, oc- casionally at Harvest Festival time, to call on Nellie and her sister, Dorothy Edmonds. Many thanks to Mrs. Noyes for writing and for all the helpful phone calls offering in­ formation on the Class of 1920. A 90-year old former Nashville resident, now of Lakeland, Florida, also wrote us about the Class of 1920 photo. She is Mrs. Lucy R. Fuller, an older sister of class member Gaylen Cronk. He passed away at Lakeland in March 1976 and was the last member of her immediate family, she wrote. Mrs. Fuller celebrated her 90th birthday last September 20th, and enjoys a weekly subscription to the Maple Valley News. The OttTrio, gospel singers from Lansing, will perform at the Nashville Assembly of God Church at 7 p.m. Sunday, February 11th. The community is invited to attend this in­ spirational event. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce will meet next Wednesday evening, February 14th, for a 7:00 p.m. dinner and business meeting at the Steakhouse Restaurant. Chamber President Charles Andrus, Jr. will ask his newlyappointed committee heads to briefly list objectives that their various committees hope to accomplish in 1979. Andrus hopes listing of goals will help coordinate efforts of the Chamber. Ray Hinckley is in charge of dinner reservations for the event. Petie Latta of Nashville returned home last Monday from a 5-week vacation in California, visiting her daughter and family, Susan and Gordon Gutchess and children, at Coronoa. It was a special treat for Petie to spend Christmas with the Gutchess family and watch granddaughters Jen­ nifer and Ashley open their gifts. After the New Year, Petie and the Gutchess family enjoyed a 5-day trip to northern California to visit her son, John, and his wife, Marty, at Chico. John took them on a tour of the California State University campus, where he is a student, and they enjoyed . a picnic lunch on the banks of Chico Creek. While there they toured the 1867 Bidwell Mansion, guided by a blind girl who knew every inch of the house and. its’ fascinating history. Other highlights of the trip were visiting the Hearst Castle at San Simeon; Big Sur Mountain; Sequoia National Park; Fishdrman’s Wharf in San Francisco-and riding cable cars there. One weekend they enjoyed seeing two gray whales and a school of pilot whales on a “whale watch” cruise in the Pacific. The boat observes the winter migration of the gray whales to southern waters. Although California has had a cooler winter than usual, Petie was happy to escape our recent ice and snow storms. Congratulations to Jasper Miles of Nashville, recent recipient of a college scholarship from Hoover, A.E., in Charlotte. Details in a story elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News. Exceptionally good food, including pie served in large bowls with thick rich cream, wqs a special treat during a recent week-long tour of England by Mrs. Jim (Lori) Sheldons of Curtis Road, is employed by a Ludington travel agency and enjoyed the trip as a member of a special tour group. After flying to London and sightseeing there, thei group journeyed by train to Edinborough, ScOutland. Lori reports that though there was some snow on the ground, the fields appeared quite green. Temperatures were also fairly mild during her visit. After returning home, Lori and her husband, Jim, were weekend guests of his parents, Nate and LaDuska Sheldon, of Nashville. A family gathering Sunday at the hpme of Gary and Paula (Sheldon) Kimble of Morrison Lake honored birthdays of three family members; Julie Sheldon of Nash­ ville; Mrs Howard (Natalie Sheldon) Casterline of Assyria; and Troy Kimble of Morrison Lake. Just prior to the Sheldon family gathering, LaDuska had returned from a week’s visit with her mother, Mrs. Virginia Keller, at Melbourne, Florida. She also called on her sister, Mrs. Lynn (Doris) Hazelton at Palm Bay. The weather was fair in Florida, LaDuske reports, and she enjoyed spending hours on the beach. Even though it was windy, it was a very pleasant change from our Michigan weather. She flew from Detroit to Tampa and then to Melbourne in overcast skys but encountered no delays due to weather. Two local young people will be competing in a 50-hour dance marathon February 15th, 16th and 17th, at Lansing’s Meftdian Mall to raise funds for the fight against multiple sclerosis.

Although Sandy developed blisters on her feet last year, they completed the entire 50 hours as she stood in buckets of waiter. Dancers were not disqualified as long as their feet continued moving. Several local residents were on hand last year to cheer Tad and Sandy on. The event was covered live by a Lansing radio station. Tad is a 1977 MVHS graduate and Sandy is a junior. Both will be busy recruiting sponsors this week. Readers wishing more details may call Tad at 852-0852 or Sandy at 726-0261.

Everyone is welcome and cordially invited to attend these special events. . Agnes and Don Hughes of .Nashville returned last week from a two-weeks trip to Florida and, though they enjoyed the vacation, report the weather was cold and rainy. They went as far south as Key West and covered most of the state. Winter coats were needed for their tour of Busch Gardens, where the flowers had been blasted by the cold. Tem­ peratures were in the 60’s but dampness made it feel colder. The Hughes’ visited former Nashville resident, Dr. R.E .White, at Lake Pannasoffke, near Orlando. The new apartment complex being built on the site of the old Lentz Table Company is nearing completion. The con­ tractor anticipates the front building will be done in three weeks and the developers are now accepting tenant ap­ plications. Each of the two structures houses 16 apartment units.

Clarence Higdon of Nashville recently loaned us an in­ teresting booklet on the late Emory W. Morris, a Nashville native who went on to prominence as President of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Morris was a graduate of Nashville High School and later had a dental practice in our village before becoming involved in opeartion of the Kellogg Foundation in 1933. He continued to serve i various positions with the foundation until his death in 1974, at age 71. Members of the Village Council’s finance committee, Ted Spoelstra, Sharon Green, and Helen Curtis, attended a meeting with Nashville’s village auditors in Battle Creek last Thursday evening. Also attending were village officials Suzy Corkwell and Lois Elliston; and Leon Frith, DPW Superintendant, the firm of Foote, Iles, Foote, and Lloyd offered advice on various financial aspects of village operation, including the newly-approved cost-of living program for village employees. Picking fresh oranges from a tree and cotton from a field in Arizona was a special treat for Mrs. Gloria Johncock of Nashville who returned home last Wednesday from a 3-week trip which also included a visit to Colorado Springs, Colorado. Gloria flew out of Grand Rapids during an earlyJanuary blizzard but found no snow on her arrival in Den­ ver. The weather was “changable” in Colorado Springs where she visited her daughter, Sheryl West, and grand­ children, Scott and Julie. A small amount of snow fell but was melted daily by the intensity of the sun. Gloria enjoyed a trip with Sheryl and children to the National Woocarving Museum near Denver. Later Gloria flew to Phoneix, Arizona, to spend the final week of her vacation with Mrs. Frances Johncock, mother of race driver Gordon Johncock, at Tempe. The weather was so pleasant that sweaters were not needed. Fresh fruit and fresh-cut flowers were plentiful in the markets. They enjoyed a motor trip to Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Mesa; and a visit to the Wrigley Mansion and Camelback Mt. Gloria also enjoyed an overnight visit with Gayion and Marie Fisher at Apache Junction. The Fisher’s daughter, Lois, was also there from Grand Junction, Colorado. Gayion took them all out to a lovely dinner, and the day of her departure the Fishers drove Gloria to Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix. On her return flight home, Gloria landed at Chicago to find an airport congested with travelers, then proceeded to Grand Rapids airport where she was met by her father. Her luggage however did not arrive from Chicago until an hour later. A two-car collision on Main Street, near Sherman, in the early evening of January 24th resulted in damage to both vehicles though each was operable following the mishap. The driver of a southbound pickup truck swerved to avoid a vehicle pulling out of a parking space ahead of him and crossed the center line, sideswiping an oncoming, nor­ thbound auto. No injuries were reported in the accidnet which was policed by the Nashville Police Department. itasiiHiWui lta|fa|)agtttM jrrxJsarJtfffi:: e^KstwMqtaM' Jewsras®^ teitTfitesW^P aPjegsEitB®:* a Tie Fete rt® Look Like A SWEETHEART EVERY DAY Mil" Memories of the past »-.

Senior “skip day” had been observed with an all­ day excursion to John Ball Park in Grand Rapids. The group traveled there in three autos belonging to boys in the class, taking provisions along for a picnic lunch in the park. World War I had ended during their senior year, with the Armistice signed in November, but the hostilites had left a mark on the Class of 1919. One member, Harold Powers, left school to enter the service and died overseas. (Not to be con­ fused with George Powers, Class of 1920, who also died during the war while training in Texas. The two were not related.) Four hansome young men and ten lovely ladies remained to graduate with the Class of 1919. They were: left to right, front: Robert Townsend; Vern Bera; Robert Green; and Charles Dalhouser. Standing, left to right, are: Frieda Schulz; Leora Gault; Julia Lathrop; Lowena Hamilton, Caroline Marshall; Gretchen Gut­ chess; Glenna Mead; Mary Pennock; Bertha Frith; and Anna Mallory. In subsequent years, the fourteen classmates pursued various careers. Today, seven of the class remain. Robert Townsend con­ tinued his education at the University of Michigan and currently resides in California. Vern Bera entered a' family-owned hardware and implement business in Nash­ ville with his Jather, W.B. Bera, and two brothers. Vern now lives in New Mexico. Robert Green, whose father was a local tailor, became ' a successful Kalamazoo businessman and still resides there. Charles Dalhouser, now deceased, operated a clothing store in Nashville’s Main Street (in the building south of the bank, most recently occupied by Freedom Road Bookstore). He later operated other stores in Hastings. Freida Schulz, now Mrs. Trimm, resides in Hastings. Leora Gault, now deceased, a became Kalamazoo schoolteacher and married a Thompson. Julie Lathrop received nurses training and worked in California, where she later married a man named Bertsch. She is now deceased. Lowena Hamilton, also now deceased, became a Barry County schoolteacher and married Dr. Serijan, a Middleville dentist. Caroline Marshall became Mrs. Dejrey Jones and has been a lifelong resident of the Nashville area. Gretchen Gutchess, now deceased, married Ernest Gardner and they became Lion varsity stumbles twice— Maple Valley’s Varsity basketball team ended its 3 game winning streak abruptly Tuesday as the host Middleville Trojans defeated the Lions 64-50. The Lions gave Middleville a 12 point advantage before they were able to score and trailed 8-12 by the end of the first quarter. The rest of the contest was spent trying to catch the high flying Trojans who now stand 10-5 for the season. Valley was able to come within 7 points in the third and fourth quarters but were unable to threaten beyond that. Andy Joostberns led all scores with 16 points. Don Fox added 10 points and Ken Hansbarger 8. Friday’s league contest became a duel of free throw shooting as Vestaburg bested their hosts 75-65 hitting 27 of 33 from the freethrow line. The Lions led 29-27 at the half and had as much as a 7 point lead in the third quarter. Turnovers by the Lions allowed the Vestaburg squad to take the lead for good with 2:14 to go in the 3rd quarter. During the fourth quarter. Cont. page 6 NOTICE TO...

The tiny radios receive signals from the Hastings base dispatch, alerting fire and ambulance personnel to all emergency calls. Am­ bulance crew members are on call on an assigned Work schedule, so that . thd am­ bulance may be adequately manned at all times. Recently-passed state regulations require one certified EMT on each ambulance run in 1979; and two EMT’s must be on board in 1980, according to the new law. “Extra help is desperately needed in the ambulance system,” reports John Mason, Secretary of the organization. Additional trainees are being sought for daytime and evening classes which will start in a few weeks, he said. “The required training for bpth firefighters and am­ bulance personnel is now so intense it is difficult for one man to find time to complete courses for both positions,” Mason explained. The training for an EMP cer­ tification requires 120 hours of class time, he explained. Mason said any individuals interested in joining the ambulance system could contact him or any member of the group for details on the upcoming schooling. The newly-formed Nash­ ville ambulance organization will hold regular meetings the last Monday of every month. Their governing body, comprised of represen­ tatives of both Castleton and Maple Grove Township Boards and the Nashville Village Council, meets the first Tuesday of each month.

Letter to the Editor: I did not at any time at any police committee meeting ask Chief Kendal Wilcox to step down or to resign from his position as Nashville Chief of Police. At this meeting, not a closed meeting, called to review upcoming budget and to discuss scheduling with Chairman Morris Purchis, Forrest Babcock, Sharon Green, President Harold Christiansen and Chief Kendal Wilcox. Also, we went over what we felt were the Chief’s weak areas as an administrator and asked him to become more efficient in these areas. I did state at a council meeting, when Chief Wilcox made his public accusation against me, that in my personal opinion, he is a poor administrator, etc. The work schedule, is not intended to put Chief Wilcox in the status of a patrolman. This schedule is the fairest of all schedules for our three man department giving all equal on and off duty time. Chief Wilcox will not work two consecutive weeks of nights. In a 21 day work schedule, he will work six nights but they’re not more than three nights in a row without time off. The other officers have not complained to the committee about the present schedule, but the committee feels that the new work schedule will give all our officers an equal amount of off duty days and nights to be with their families.

One thing puzzles me, how are we, the citizens, supposed to get out to the streets and roads when our driveways are plugged. We go out after it has snowed and shovel our walks and drives. Then maybe a few house later we may decide to go to the store or some other place. We then proceed to go out to our car, we look at our drive and it has been plugged with snow from the street. As you probably already have noticed this snow from the street is quite heavy and something else to shovel. And also, where are we supposed to put it? Pile it so high we can’t see over it or around it?Or are we sup­ posed to push it back into the street, just to have it pushed right back into our drives again? No, because if we pile it we won’t be able to see if any cars are coming or the cars coming from either direction won’t be able to see us backing out. Either in­ stance can cause a serious accident. Another serious accident can happen. A person can have a heart attack. Because of the heaviness, much more stress is put on the heart. Thus increasing the risk, especially if you’re an older person or a person with heart trouble, past or present. I am quite familar with this problem, for I have spent many an hour with my parents shoveling snow. I know this is a problem most everyone is facing. I can’t say I have the answer to the problem. But I know there has to be a solution. Something must be done.

THE HECKER AGENCY VERMONTVILLE VILLAGE COUNCIL MEETINGS afar the questions: Why after 10 years of service to the village and residents should Chief Wilcox be subject to the harassment he is getting from the council and police committee? Why doesn’t the police cief have chief the same authority as other village dept. heads, to do scheduling, etc. How can a man do a good job when he knows he will not be backed by the police committee and the council? Why should the police chief step down from his position if there are no complaints from the citizens of Nashville? Why should personal grudges be brought to the council and police com­ mittee meetings? Why should a man with 10 years seniority have to work 2 weeks of nights out of 3 weeks? What is seniority? Why is there a lack of communication between the officers and the police chief? How can a man administer to everyones liking when he doesn’t have backing from village government? As a business owner in the Village of Nashville we have never had any complaints as to the service we have received from any of our police force.

The January 1 Grain Stocks Report for Michigan shows increases for corn and soybean stocks while wheat shows a substantial decline, according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service. Corn stored in all positions is estimated at 155,777,000 bushels, 11 percent above last January. Most of this increase comes from a big jump in corn stored on the farm. Total soybean stocks jumped 48 percent, while offfarm stocks are up 24 per­ cent. Oat and rye stocks are up 28 and 48 percent, respectively. Wheat and barley stocks in Michigan recorded declines from a year ago. Total wheat stocks of 13,859,Q00 are down 47 percent. On-farm stocks are down 69 percent and off-farm stocks are down 39 percent. This is to be expected, coming on the heels of a poor production year. Barley stocks dropped 35 percent to 437,000 bushels. Nationally, corn in all storage positions is up 13 percent at 6.2 billion bushels. Soybean stocks are up 4 percent to 1.4 billion bushels. Wheat stocks, at 1.63 bushels, are down 18 percent from last January.

A weekly Report from; Senator Richard Allen State Senator Dick Allen today reacted with concern and dismay at an Attorney General ruling which nullified the state’s PBB exemption program. Allen, a Republican from Ithaca, authored the original language in the PBB bill to provide for an exemption procedure. That language was later incorporated into a resolution to exempt dairy herds from the state’s PBB testing program after 15 percent of the animals have been tested and found free of PBB. Attorney General Frank Kelley ruled yesterday, however, that such exemptions must be set by law, rather than resolution. '“While I recognize that Mr. Kelley, as an attorney, may be right in his in­ terpretation, I, as a farmer and veterinarian, believe the effect of his ruling is wrong, ” Allen asserted. “It appears clear to me that this ruling will require the Agriculture Department to start from scratch and retest all dairy herds,” he continued. “Retesting would be unfair to farmers, cruel to the animals, expensive for taxpayers, and totally un­ productive in terms of detecting new PBB problems. It would simply not be in the best interests of the state to have to start up this costly program on a statewide basis all over again, particularly since we have finally arrived at a point where we have such control that we believe PBB no longer presents a health hazard.” More than two-thirds of Michigan’s dairy herds have already been exempted from the PBB testing program. As soon as he learned of the PBB ruling, Allen requested priority legislation to reinstate the exemption program. His measure will allow previous exemptions to ^remain in effect and incorporate the 15 percent exemption provision in law. He expects to in­ troduce the bill within a week. Phone 945-9554 for ACTION!

Wednesday, February 7» 1979 — Page 9 Nashville to form “Friends of the Library hkk kls? KSLs SLs K< r> * J*>&< J>&< Jerry and Janice Johnson have agreed to act as tem­ porary chairpersons for a fledgling “Friends of the Library*’ group being formed in Nashville. A small number of in­ terested persons attended an informal idea session at Putnam Public Library last Tuesday morning as a first step i in getting the organization off the ground. No formal guidelines were adopted Tuesday although many challenging projects were discussed, including implementing a year-’round story hour for children; acquiring a 16 mm movie projector for films which are available to the local library through the Woodlands Cooperative’ and formation of a youth branch of the FOL. “We have an outstanding library for a village off our size,” commented Johnson. Putnam Library could be used as a cultural center for dramatics and folklore, as well as for traditional library services, he said. Future meetings of the “Friends of the Library” may be alternated between morning and evening sessions for the convenience of persons who are interested in the program but have jobs or other committments which would conflict with a per­ manent meeting time. Johnson and LaDuska Sheldon, Putnam librarian, encourage widespread community support of the new group. “Those who have an in­ terest in the library but are unable to attend regular meetings are still en- couraged to participate by supporting various projects that will be undertaken by the Friends group,” said Mrs. Sheldon. Similar groups have aided local libraries throughout Michigan with a variety of programs ranging from assisting the library staff with reading programs to cleaning the premises, she explains. Many of the groups have become involved in fund­ raising Events to benefit their libraries. Sample bylaws for the organization have been furnished to Mrs. Sheldon by the Michigan Department of Education State Library Services. The next meeting of the local “Friends of the Library” has been set for 7:00 p.m. Monday, February 12th, at the library. In­ dividuals with small children may bring them along to enjoy a story hour that will be conducted while the meeting is in progress.

Ernest Nash State Representative PBB Exemptions-The Attorney General has ruled that the 1977 law setting up a state PBB testing program un­ constitutionally included a provision for exemptions by legislative resolution. The law stays, but no more exemp­ tions will be allowed. Ticket Speed-Another Attorney General’s riding says that when police write traffic tickets for driving “too fast for conditions,” they must specify a safe and prudent speed. Writing the general phrase does not meet present legal requirements. State Tests?-The state Superintendent of Public In­ struction has urged a uniform statewide test for all 10thgraders to help determine educational progress. Recent tests have shown that students’ math and reading abilities are" getting better. Budget In-Governor Milliken has submitted his 1979-80 budget recommendations to the legislature. The proposed budget is about $344 million, or 8 percent, over current general-fund expenditure levels. The largest dollar increase is in social services, with a 5 percent increase for ADC recipients, but the largest percentage increase (42 percent) is for judicial programs. •' Heating Credit-Now that it’s income tax time, be sure you don’t overlook the line on your return that provides for a Home Heating Credit. The state treasury department estimates that 10 to 12 percent of those who are eligible for this credit are not applying for it. 5 Percent Solution?-One of the most controversial sections of the new budget is expected to be that which proposes cutting a scheduled 7 percent increase for civil service employees down to 5 percent. Governor Milliken says this will save several million dollars; however, the 7 percent increase already falls within President Carter’s anti­ inflation guidelines. Interview Tips-The Civil Service Department has developed a Selection Interview Guide which points out essentials in conducting its job interviews; this could be useful for private employers as well. Write the Department at P.O. Box 30001, Lansing, Mi. 48909. Insurance Info-The state Insurance Bureau has prepared a “Consumer Alert” of brief information about cashing in a life insurance policy and or replacing it with a new, one, listing many essential facts. Write the Bureau at P.O. Box 30220, Lansing 48909, or call 800-292-5943. Thin Ice?-The Department of Natural Resources has warned that ice conditions on many lakes in Lower Michigan are extremely dangerous due to deep snow which has piled up on lightly-frozen lakes, thus insulating against further freezing.

The Vermontville Girl Scouts, under -the supervision of their leaders, will arm themselves with cleaning supplies on February 24 and wash windows, clean the wood­ work with special oil, and sweep the floor at the Opera House. Vermontville Township Clerk Bobbi Hoefler points out that the project is an excellant example of community interest and pride in the building. She notes that the township had been thinking that it shouldn’t allow the building to be used for activities by organizations until a com­ plete cleaning could be undertaken.

From left are Bobbi Hoefler, Fred Frith, Dorothy Carpenter, Hildred Peabody, Robert Todd, Martha Zemke, and Ruth Shepard. The oil painted canvas curtain can be seen in the background. Brownies want to have a rummage sale there to raise funds to help send pix scouts on a trip to Mexico. The local historical society and others are interested in preserving the heritage of the Opera House more ex­ tensively than clean-up projects, but a rennovation of the building’s interior probably will depend on whether a federal grant can be obtained. Hildred Peabody, a historical society member, said, “The building should be used more, but it needs to have more work done soon. Twice, attempts have been made to apply for a mat­ ching funds grant that would allow for needed rennovation, but both trys have been futile. However, Mrs. Hoefler said everyone is hopeful that the grant will become a reality in the future and an application will be filed again. Several members of the historical society noted Saturday that the stage needs a new floor, interior doors need work, and that an addition of a sink would complement many ac­ tivities. Also the paint on the walls and ceiling of the auditorium is chipped and peeling in many places. The Opera House holds a wealth of heritage of early Vermontville life. The text on the historial marker, dedicated last April, in­ dicates part of its proud history: PersonnalMr. and Mrs. Ralph Burnworth entertained Mr. and Mrs. John Pomeroy on their 26th anniversary. A lovely dinner or roast duck and lobster tails was served. The evening was spent playing cgrds. Tammy Burnworth assisted, refresh­ ments were served by Curly which is his specialty. Guest attending, too numerous to mention, had an enjoyable evening. Graffiti from 1917 is "part of Americana" that can be found back stage at the Vermontville Opera House, says Dorothy Carpenter. Actually, the "writings" in the wings are signatures of "all the kids who were in plays over the years" at the opera house. Bobbi Hoefler points to the signatures from local "actresses and actors" written in 1917. “L. Vern Slout and his players, one of Michigan’s oldest tent companies, gave first and last performances in this opera hall...” The two-story red brick building also was the scene long ago of stock shows and medicine shows. In the ’50’s, free movies were shown, and exhibits staged as well as other community activities. According to newspaper "accounts that historical society members have clipped for a scrapbook, the original opera house structure was destroyed in a fire about 1896. The present building was completed in 1898 with the village funding the first story and the township the second level.

February14, 1979 Nashville Council votes 3-2 to deny granting scheduling authority to police chief The Nashville Village Council voted 3-2 last Thursday to deny returning scheduling authority to Police Chief Kendal Wilcox. The council’s decision means that a new schedule, adopted by the council last spring and then dropped, will be implemented. It calls for all three members of the police department (including the chief) to rotate by working one week of day shifts, followed by two weeks of basically night shifts. Equal time off for each man is provided in the three-week period. Under the previous schedule, Chief Wilcox primarily worked the day. shift. Audience input at the meeting failed to influence the council’s decision in the matter. By a 35-3 show-ofhands vote the audience favored keeping Wilcox on a day shift instead of having the phief work night shifts equal with his officers. “Most of the people here and most others I’ve talked to just can’t understand why the Chief of Police has to be put on nights,” said Coun­ cilman Ted Spoelstra who introduced the motion to return scheduling authority to the chief. Only Spoelstra and Vermontville Historical Society plans ‘sugaring-off ” party— Following its 7 o’clock Maple Valley Drama Class, carry-in supper on Thursday under the direction of Mrs. evening, February 22, Dorothy Carpenter, will members and friends will present an original skit share in the fun of the annual based upon an incident that Sugarjng-Off Party.

Councilwoman Helen Curtis voted in favor of retaining the present schedule under which Wilcox works mostly, days. Councilwoman Sharon Green, said the new schedule would give the chief an opportunity to know the problems of the night shift and would give the night officers a chance to learn the elements of a day shift. “I agree, if it’s possible at all, the chief should work days," said Officer Gene Koetje who was at the meeting. He said it made no difference to him whether he worked days or nights blit he preferred the new schedule because it allowed him a 3­ day weekend every three weeks, instead of every six weeks as under the present schedule. The controversy- on controversy whether to return scheduling authority to the police'chief began two weeks ago when Wilcox charged at a council meeting that Green had asked at a committee meeting that he step down as. head of the 3-man force, a post he. has held for ten year’s. At-that time, Wilcox also conteded .the new schedule relegates him to the status of a patrolman. Thursday, Green denied' Janice Siple named 79 Syrup Queen Janice Siple (CENTER) daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Siple, Rt. 1, Vermontville, was named the 1979 Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Queen at festivities held in the basement of the Congregational Church, Monday evening. She will reign over the 1979 Maple Syrup Festival in April. Members of her court, chosen at the ceremonies held in conjunction with the Vermontville Lions Club monthly meeting, were (clockwise, from top right) Brenda Fisher, Cheryl McClure, Lori Balzer, selected as alternate for the queen, Barbara Harris and Sandra Hulbert. Judges for this year’s selection were Janet Rushford of Nashville, David Wayne of WCER in Charlotte, Helen Clegg, Gordon Sparks of the Charlotte Shopping Guide and Hugh Fullerton of the Hastings Banner. All of the girls are juniors at Maple Valley High School. If the winnijer decides to continue her education she will be eligible for a scholarship ofteij high school graduation. M.V. Newt Photo by Mark Thomas ever making such a request but reiterated an earlier stand that in her personal opinion, Wilcox was a poor administrator. Forrest’ Babcock and Harold Christiansen also denied, at the council meeting, that Mrs. Green had asked Wilcox to step down during a recent police committee meeting which both men had attended. “As far as I’m concerned, our police department is stagnant; we’re not going a ny w here--there’s no growth, no development,” Green said. "We need leadership and direction," she added. She spoke of new training programs and better communications between the chief and his officers. "When you have a leader, he’s got to be allowed to lead, " countered Spoelstra. He Contended that the council had hot hacked Wilcox in administrative decisions in the past, but said he did not want to elaborate on the subject by naming individuals. . "Until you allow this man to do his job and back him up when he does it, you’re going to have problem* until whoknows-when," Spoelstra told the council. When asked by some audience members to cite cases where she felt Wilcox was not properly handling his responsibilities, Green said Wilcox had failed to follow up on issuance of parking violation tickets by the department, which she claimed represented a loss of revenue for the village. She offered no documentation to substatiate this charge against Wilcox. “One thing I’ve learned, you should never appoint a hometown boy for the duties he’s got,” said President Harold Christiansen of Wilcox. According to Nash­ ville’s charter, the president must reappoint the chief each year for him to retain his position, a preocedure that is usually done in April. "Kendal was raised here; he’s a hometown boy, and a lot of people here tonite are his buddies,’.’ Christiansen charged. “A stranger would be less biased," continued Christiansen. In other business, Village Attorney David Dimmers advised the council to limit all future committee meetings to attendance by only three council members in order to assure compliance with Michigan’s Meetings Open and Freedom of Information Act which became effective in 1977. Council committees Valentines from the past Valentines from the past are part of Susan Hinckley's collection of postcard greeting cards which all date prior to 1915. Mrs. Hinckley has been collecting the unique antique cards for about 10 years and has them displayed in an album. The other interesting Valentines shown in the foreground of the photo are from the 1930's. One has moveable parts (a winking eye), and the other a hat which opens in accordian-style to add a three dimensional effect to the cbrd. Mrs. Hinckley related that the custom of exchanging Valentines is older than the exchange of Christmas cards. Hand-made Valentines were being exchanged in the. early 1700's and the commercial variety made its debut in the late 1840's. Mrs. Hinckley's antique postcard collection includes cards to commemorate almost every occasion including Halloween, Easter, St. Patrick's Day, birthdays, birth announcements, friendship, and weddings. Susan Hinckley of Nashville displays one of the unique antique postcard Valentines in her collection. This card is particularly special because it includes a miniature envelope on the front with tiny stationery scaled to fit inside. The stationery actually contains a hand-written message andis dated 1907.

Meetings Act, it can be in­ terpreted wrong," Dimmers said of quorum meetings. He explained that Nashville's committees are only "recommending committees" designed to bring proposals to the council for action. Dimmers said that if a committee of three, plus one, determined at a committee meeting that they were going to make a recommendation to the council, knowing that all four would vote in a certain way, it could create “headaches’* for the council and village.

Page 9— �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, February 14, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News History will be made in Nashville next Monday when, for the first time, a village election will be held at the new Castleton Township Hall on South Main. The February 19th primary, to select candidates for four seats opening on Nashville’s village council in the spring, was moved to the more spacious township quarters to avoid increasingly cramped conditions at the village hall. However, though the township’s facilities will be used for Monday’s election, their voting machines will not. Traditional paper ballots will prevail. But the village anticipates progressing to machine voting in the near future, according to Village Clerk Suzy Corkwell. Arrangements between Castleton Township and the Village of Nashville for dual use of the township’s hall were made early last fall. Regular village meetings have been conducted at the township hall since September 14th, but Monday will mark the first use of the new quarters for a village election. Lawrence Maurer of Nashville is confined at Leila Hospital in Battle Creek following a recent fall in his home which resulted in a broken hip. He was transported to Leila by the Nashville ambulance Saturday morning, February 3rd, and at this report is still awaiting surgery to set the hip.

Excuse our error: the “girl in the dark sailor dress”, Class of 1920, was Elna (not Edna) Peterson. Mrs. Ada (Noyes) Dickinson of Tampa, Florida, had written to identify the mystery girl, we reported last week. They were classmates. Mrs: Dickinson thought the Peterson family had lived on a farm south of Nashville, she added. Susequent to Ada’s letter, Mrs. Elizabeth (Richie) Wilcox of Nashville phoned to say the old Peterson home was located on Bivens Road, a little more than a mile east of Clark Rd. Elizabeth had attended Mason School with the Peterson children, including a set of brother-sister twins. The family was Swedish but the youngsters all spoke English quite fluently, Elizabeth recalls. All members in the class photo, taken at Nashville High School in 1917, have now been identified. And the whereabouts of all but three-Elna Peterson, Paul Gardner, and Donna Francis-are known. Best wishes to Gene Wyant who retired from Oldsmobile the last of December and, with his wife Bonnie, is now en­ joying an extended visit in Florida.

The Nashville Fire Department responded to a call of a reported house fire at Barryville Friday evening, February 2nd. The resident of the home spotted flames above the exhaust hood in the kitchen. He began throwing water on the fire and when the firefighters entered the house, the flames were nearly out. Some minor smoke damage was done to the residence. The Nashville firemen stayed on the scene to defer the house of smoke and check the premises and attic area for further flames. None were found.

An auto belonging to Julie Ellen Sheldon of Curtis Road disappeared briefly last week after she became stuck in the snow near the intersection of Curtis and Cloverdale Road and walked home. Now Eaton County police are searching for suspects on an attempted auto theft charge. Julie walked a quarter mile to her home, in sub-zero temperatures, at night Very early the next morning she walked back to the scene carrying gravel and shovels to free her auto, only to discover it was gone. Again returning home, she phoned both Barry County and Eaton County authorities and the State Police in Lansing. She had first phoned all her neigh­ bors and local wrecker services in hope of a clue. Ih the meantime, David Friddle of Cloverdale Road arrived at the Sheldon home to report he had spotted Julie’s car in a ditch near his home. The back bumper of the auto had been torn off and there appeared to be some other damage, he reported. He and Julie went to the scene to await the arrival of the police.

This has required a complete remodeling of the X-ray Department and the addition of one more diagnostic unit. “We have doubled our Xray cases in the past ten years from around 550 cases per month to 1,050,” says Robert Foster, Chief X-ray Technician, explaining the use of the Hospital’s new unit WATER HEATERS GAS OR ELECTRIC 30 GAL & UP NASHVILLLE HARDWARE 105 NORTH MAIN ST. 852-0713 which began operation last September. Foster attributed growing demands for X-ray services on the increasing population in the area and requests for exams in 'connection with malpractice suits. Hospital Administrator Darwin Finkbeiner says the new unit will boost the hospital’s capacity to handle emergency cases. Mr.. Foster emphasized that the new unit will sup­ plement but not replace the old unit which is about 15­ years old. That machine was frequently breaking down and causing back-ups in the workload of the department. The new equipment, while in operation, is awaiting licensing from the State Department of Health Division of Radiology. Because of increased ex­ posure of employees and patients to radiation treatment, State regulations have been very stringent in this area. For ' example, three hospital technicians operating the equipment must wear 10 to 12 pound Nashville VFW 8260 and Auxiliary Fish & Chicken Fry FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16 SERVING 5:30 P.M. to 7:30 P.M.

Additional space and rooms have been created from old storage areas for dressing areas to handle more patients. A new processor for X-ray films is due to be added within a week. This will provide automatic developing. One of the critical needs of the hospital is for additional space for waiting areas. Up to now patients have had to wait in the small lobby which seats only eight persons, and accident cases on stretchers have had to wait in the hallway. These deficiencies are being corrected in the new upgrading and renovation being planned for the hospital. Changes include an enlarged waiting room and separate holding areas to provide patients on stretchers some privacy while waiting for x-rays. Hospital Administrator Darwin Finkbeiner stressed that the flew equipment is not part of the Hospital’s current $1.5 million dollar expansion fund drive. The $140,000 machine was leased and the remodeling expense of approximately $50,000 was financed from Hospital operating funds. Nash sponsors bill to create state library and museumA bill that would provide $15 million over three years for the establishment of a state library, museum and archives in downtown Lansing was introduced Wednesday in the Michigan House of Representatives. State Representative Ernest Nash (RDimondale),, the bill’s sponor, said that his measure promotes a cultural complex within six blocks of the State Capitol Building. He added that he is hopeful all three divisions can be under one roof, or at least within easy walking distance of one another. “This bill would centralize three cultural Areas im­ portant to the state apd its heritage,” Nash said. “I am confident that the members of this Legislature have enough interest in the history of their state to pass this legislation.” Nash said that many of the state’s artifacts could be stolen, broken or lost by being moved in and out of storage. He added that mapy historical pieces are now being stored in warehouses, rooms in the Capitol Building and in people’s homes. “We need some way of organizing and preserving these precious pieces from our past so that future generations will be able to appreciate their Michigan heritage,” Nash said. The current state library, located on E. Michigan Ave. in Lansing, is being leased by the state and the building (hat formerly housed the stale museum was sold to Lansing Community College at the end of 1978, Nash said. The state prehives is located at 3405 N. Logan in Lansing. “If this bill is passed,” Nash said, “the state library would remain under the jurisdiction of the Depart­ ment of Education and the museum and archives would be headed by the Depart­ ment of State.” Nash said the bill calls for $5 million in state funds to be spent in 1980, 1981 and 1982 for the establishment of the cultural center. He added that persons, organizations and corporations would also be welcome to make con­ tributions on behalf of the proposed library, museum and archives.

Tax Exemptions-The House will soon vote on HB 4076-77 which would exempt telephone and utility service from sales and use taxes. It is estimated that this would save Michigan consumers as much as $150. million per year. The majority party wants to raise this money elsewhere in the tax system so at this time I want to study this proposal carefully before I take a position. Consumers’ Guideline-The Michigan Consumers Council now has a toll-free Guideline to help resolve complaints with business and-or refer those complaints to the proper government agency. Just call 800-292-5680, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Minimum Sentences-The Michigan Supreme Court has ruled that last fall’s Proposal B, which requires criminals convicted of violent felonies to serve a minimum mandatory sentence before parole, applies only to crimes committed on or after December 22. Obscenity Action-Our state Supreme Court has acted to give Michigan an enforceable obscenity law, inserting U.S. Supreme Court guidelines into a law it had previously ruled unconstitutionally vague. The Court reluctantly took this action after several years ofurging the Legislature to pass a new law: the majority party in the Legislature has not acted to do so. Tax Shift?-The House Taxation Committee will start work this week on a proposal to increase the personal income tax rate by 19.5 percent, increase the personal exemption by 20 percent, and give increased property tax relief. Under last fall’s Proposal E, total taxation cannot increase, but it can be shifted around; this would shift some $450 million in tax, revenues. It appears certain that the savings in utility relief will be lost in this “shifty” proposal. Open Court-The Michigan Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that a judge may keep the public out of a criminal trial only if proper reasons are found to do so. Present law allows closed trials ifboth parties agree, but the Court set specific standards for exclusion. School Holdouts-Five of 28 school districts identified by the State Board of Education as having racially-isolated schools* have told the Board they are not taking action to comply with state guidelines, since it would be rearranging students solely on the basis of race. Emergency Backups-Under a 1969 law, the Governor has designated five emergency interim successors to head state government in case the five others specified in the cons tition are unable to serve. The House. Speaker is 5th in line, the House Minority Leader 8th in line. Phony Agents-The Department of Commerce has warned license-plate buyers to be on the lookout for phony “in­ surance agents” who will provide a fake Certificate of In­ surance to be used to get new license plates. Drivers discover they have no insurance only after an accidnet.

The total outlay to raise crops, livestock, and poultry ran up a bill of nearly $100 billion. This was a 12 percent ipcrease over the $89 billion spent for the same purpose in 1976. Farm production expenditures need to be watch closely in order to develop accurate estimates of how well farmers are doing conyjared with other sectors of the nation’s economy. During February and March, the Farm Production Expenditure Survey will be conducted to gather expenditure data for the 1978 production year. Approximately 193 farming operations will be contacted in Michigan, representing about 3 percent of the national sample. In conjunction with the Ex­ penditure Survey, a Point of Purchase Survey will be conducted to determine where Michigan farmers purchase their feed, fertilizer, pesticides, building and othermaterials, production inputs. Approximately 397 Michigan producers representing livestock, fruit, vegetalbe, nursery and greenhouse operations will be contacted which also represent about 3 percent of the national sample.

Myoursugg^1"*1 g^1"*1’ VflSK^ On Feb. 14, we celebrate St. Valentine’s Day with the exchange of verse or love notes on valentines and with flowers or candy to those we especially love. Do we realize that on this day we are following the com­ mandments of the Bible. The great commandments in law are: 37- Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38- This is the first and , great commandment. 39-And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.” (St. Matt. 22:37-39) “For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neigh­ bour as thyself.” (Galatians 5:14) Now we show our love to God by reading His Holy Bible and hearing it, by keeping His commandments (which are by love), by accepting His Son as our Saviour from sins, and by telling others about the redemptive blood of Jesus Christ. The second great com­ mandment tells us to “love our neighbour.” And who is our neighbour? We don’t refer to just those living in our neighborhood but to everyone and especially those with whom we come into contact with. A good neighbour is not selfish, not greedy, not boastful, not coveting; but is forgiving, is full of understanding and is a person who prays for his neighbours. Do you rejoice when your neighbour has good news, and do you comfort him if he is in sorrow? The Bible tells us how to be a good neighbour. “For I was an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink. I was a stranger, and ye took me in: naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.” (St. Matt. 25:35­ 36) And the Lord tells us: “.. . inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. (St. Matt- 25:40) And the Bible further tells us in Mark 9:41: “. . . evena cup cup oof co cold waer, water, gven given inn Christ shall no not lose rs ’s name sa ose its reward. There are small things that can be given to a neighbour that don’t cost a cent - a smile, a cheerful greeting, a helping hand, RICKS DISPOSAL SERVICE SERVING: Nashville, Hastings, Middleville, Caledonia!! and surrounding areas ■ •CANSAVAILABLE* Reasonable Rates!!

Do you likewise have compassion for your neighbour who is hungry, who is left homeless by a tornado, flood, or fire? Listen to what the Bible says: “But whoso hath this world’s good, and-seeth his brother hath need, and shutteth up the bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him? (I John 3:7) Most of all we show our love if we tell others (our neighbours) about Jesus by witnessing, by our life, by our actions and deeds, by getting them to read the Bible in study groups, etc. or by giving them or lending them a book that explains the scripture line by line, by lending them a religious book which quotes from the Bible, by inviting them to church, to camp meetings, to evangelistic meetings, prayer meetings, and the like. In conclusion: “Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God, and knoweth God.” (I John 4:7) And let us not love one another just on St. Valentine’s Day but every day of the year! Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Trumble are proud to an­ nounce the engagement of their son Frederick A. Trumble of Monterery California to Amy Bommersback of Sea Side California. Amy is the daughter of Elisabeth Bommersback of Sea Side, .California and Markus Bommersback of Portland Oregon. Amy is employed at Grafic Arts Shop and is training in the Ministerial program.

The council also heard a complaint from a local service station owner because the village had recently purchased new snow tires for the DPW from a Lake Odessa dealer. He told the council they should buy locally whenever possible. “Nashville has a lot to offer,” he said. John Mason, head of the DPW committee, said he had reviewed local bids but had chosen the out-of-town offer because thej>rice was lower, but later realized he had erred when he discovered that tires were of lesser quality than those bid locally. A new employee grievance procedure program, presented on behalf of the Police Dept, and Depart­ ment of Public Works, was referred by Christiansen to a committee comprised of Spoelstra, Green, and Curtis. For the 3-months absence of Councilman Maurice Purchie, Christiansen has appointed Sharon Green as head of the police com­ mittee. Maple Valley made two valiant attempts to improve its win record last week, but fell short twice, losing to Lakewood 67-53 on Tues day and 61-59 to Lakeview Friday. The visiting Vikings jumped to a 12-0 lead before the Lions managed a bucket. The 16-6 first quarter deficit was an abstacle MV couldn’t overcome though they did manage to stay close to Lakewood in the remaining three quarters. The Lions were outscored 14-15 in the second quarter but outscored their guests in the third quarter 18-17 before falling back 15-19 in the final stanza. With 2:19 remaining, Jeff Mead’s free throw put MV within 4 points of Lakewood 38-34, but that was as close as the Lions could get. Though the Vikings were taller than the Lions at many positions, the home team fought its way back many times. It was a fast-paced game with both sides competing hard. Andy Joostberns led Lion scoring with 16 points. Brother Tony Joostberns added 12 with Jeff Mead and Ken Hansbarger adding 8 points each. Friday’s contest with league-rival Lakeview was another hard fought contest. After trailing 16-14 by the end of the first quarter, the Lions charged ahead to lead 31-27 by the half. Andy Joostberns controlled the boards by grabbing 16 rebounds and enabled the Lions to widen the lead 44-39 by the end of the third quarter. But the Lions got into foul trouble in the final stanza and with 3:55 to play the visitors took the lead. Hitting 8 of 12 free throws in that quarter enabled Lakeview to score 22 points and capture the vcitory 61-59. Though the Lions lost, some fine performances were turned in by Jeff Mead, Tom Gurd, Ken Hansbarger, Tony Joostberns, Don Fox, Kevin Kilpatrick and Chris Beebe. Junior Varsity searching for victories The Junior Varsity basketball team has improved its style of basketball, but constantly falls short in the finalscore. This week the Lakewood Vikings won 74-62 on Tuesday, and the Lakeview Wildcatss were victorious 67-57 on Friday. Pat Kersjes, Todd Gearhart, and John Kerrt have established themselves as solid scorers for the J.V. Terry Pierce has improved, and plays a solid point on offense, while Tom Brooke, Brad DeCamp, Jeff Weiler, Ray Pufpaff, and Mike Musser continue to fight for the final starting spot. Ray Pufpaff has improved greatly and contributes in a substitution role. Rounding out the 12 man squad are Ross Nichols, Kyle Cornish and Glenn Godbey. PVT Snyder returns as recruiter aide “We are very proud that all 12 men contribute to our program,” says Coach Ruohonen. “It is, often dif­ ficult to play all young men in a game, but our players have proven to be quite grown up in accepting their roles on the team. I would give anything for these boys to experience some wins. They are very deserving.” This week Maple Valley plays Central Montcalm at home on Tuesday, and travels to Central Montcalm on Friday.

"This policy is also a statement of our commitment to revitalize and improve our cities,” Mitchell continued. “The policy will help us support only appropriate growth in appropriate areas consistent with development strategies established by Regional Planning Commissions.” The agricultural preservation plicy fulfills a goal of making an agency’s policies consistent with overall government goals of preserving land. The policy applies to all cropland and potential cropland. It is not limited to “prime” land. The Farmers Home Ad­ ministration is a Federal agency that makes loans and grants in rural areas for single family housing, mult­ family housing, farming water and sewer projects, a variety of community facilities, and guarantees business and industry loans.

("John") Simon, 56, of 405 Center Ct., Nashville, owner of Simon Pharmacy, who passed away at his home from an apparent heart attack. He had undergone heart surgery several years ago. Simon was a registered-pharmacist and had been a Nashville businessman for the past 13 years, having purchased the former Douse Drug Store on Main Street in 1966. He came to Nashville from Grand Rapids where he had also been a pharmacist and medical equip­ ment salesman. Born in Edmore, Michigan, on April 6, 1922, Clarence Joseph Simon was the son of Clarence and Edna (Pumpfrey) Simon. As a Captain in the U.S. Army Air Corp, during World War II, he servedover three years aS a fighter pilot stationed in the Aleutian Islands. He graduated from Ferris State College at Big Rapids in 1945. Simon was a member of the Nashville Lions Club, the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, and the Nashville United Methodist Church. He is survived by his wife, the former Wilma Corey, whom he married at Big Rapids in 1945. In addition, he is survived by two sons, Thomas M. Simon of Grand Rapids; and Brian J. Simon of Baltimore, Md.; two daughters, Mrs. Herbert (Danelle) Kaufman of Grand Rapids; and Melinda, at home; one brother, James Simon of Sand Lake; two sisters, Mrs. Art (Harriet) Schleede of Florida; and Mrs. Phyllis MacKay of Grand Rapids; and four grandchildren.

The only contest in the primary was between Sandra F. Kohfeldt and George T. Frith, both can­ didates for a one year term. Kohfeldt was victorious over Frith by a vote of 51 to 25. Frith resigned his seat on the council Jan. 11 but did not withdraw his name from the primary race. The other three candidates in Monday’s election all sought nomination to two year terms in the Mar. 12 general election.

Chamber outlines goals of newly formed committees* By Susan Hinckley Capitalizing on the tourist potential of a rejuvenated passenger rail line through Nashville was only one of many interesting ideas discussed at last Wednesday evening’s Nashville Chamber of Commerce meeting. Twenty members Were present for the dinner and business meeting at the Steakhouse Restaurant. Chamber president Charles Andrus, Jr. distributed copies of the organization’s constitution to all those present. The bylaws had been printed free of charge through the courtesy of J-Ad Graphics in Hastings, Andrus told the audience. Newly appointed com­ mittee heads were called on to outline their committee’s goals for the upcoming year. An interesting idea session ensued when Ahmo Jordan, the Thornapple riverfront; head of the Tourist and and promoting local Resort Committee, named recreational potential with numerous avenues to attract special sightseeing railroad tourists to Nashville. “We’re cars bringing visitors to our a small town but there are a area from Grand Rapids. lot of things we could do,” The present rail line Jordan said.

Members of the Class of 1953 met recently to lay groundwork for what they hope will become an annual award. A decision was made by the class, to restrict ap­ plicants for the Sessions scholarship to qualified seniors in the vocational education program. “We felt that awarding the scholarship to a Vo-Ed student would have met with Sam’s approval,” said class spokesperson, Mrs Jim (Delores Marshall} Knoll of Nashville. ‘‘Scholastic achievement alone did not impress Sam.” she ex­ plained, “but a person’s ability to work and achieve goals did.” Sessions reached in­ ternational fame as a race driver before his death in December 1977 at the age of 42. He began his career at the age of 14, racing boats in competition on the Thor­ napple River. He later ad­ vanced to auto and snowmobile racing, and was a 19-year racing veteran with an impressive list of credentials at the time of his death. He had competed in the Indianapdlis 500 Memorial Day race seven times, received the Hoosier 100 Rookie of the Year Award in 1970, was the 1972 USAC Sprint Car Champion, the 1977 TRI-SAC Super Modified Champion, and had won three state cham­ pionships in the, Michigan International Snowmobile Association. Sammy finished in the top ten at the Indy 500 twice, taking fourth place in the 1972 race. The deadline for Maple Valley seniors to apply for the Sessions Memorial scholarship is March 30th. Details may be obtained from Ward Rooks, MVHS guidance counselor. Story by Susan Hinckley passenger trips from Grand Rapids to Charlton Park or Sandyland,” suggested Andrus. It was agreed the Chamber should attempt to make contact with the new rail owners. The predicted rise in the cost of gasoline may also affect our local ecomony, the Chamber decided. Andrus pointed out that a survey done last year by the Nash­ ville Business Onwers Associations indicated that over 50 percent of local residents spent over half their purchasing dollars outside of Nashville. “With rising gas prices, maybe we could generate some new promotional ideas to encourage local shop­ ping,” Andrus said. Andrus also reported on a recent conversation with the head of Nashville’s new Continued on page 3- �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, February 21, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News superstars.” z A log-hauling truck with a danerously shifting cargo was guided to a safe “landing” in the village Saturday morning, February 10th, by a combined effort of the Nashville Police Department and the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept. County law officials had been alerted to the potential problem by a citizen’s report relayed to the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, by a Battle Creek area police agency. Deputy Bill Miller of the BCSD, assisted by Chief Wilcox in the Nashivlle police car, intercepted the northbound truck near the south M-66 curve at the Maple Leaf Grange. With one police cruiser leading and the other bringing up the rear, flashing overhead lights warned oncoming traffic of the potential hazard. Most motorists pulled nearly off the roadway when they realized the problem. The logs were securely reloaded after the hauler safely reached a parking area in the village. Mrs. Nellie Moon ofNashville celebrated her birthday last Thursday but prior to that day she was suprised with two celebrations in her honor. The first occasion was at the home of Mrs. Esta Day of Nashville and the second when Mrs. Olith Hamilton entertained the United Methodist Women. A special cake, many cards, and a beautiful rose surprised and delighted Mrs. Moon. Leon Doty of Charlotte was in Nashville last Wednesday to visit his grandmother, Mrs. Bertha Becker. Mrs. Phyllis Smith of Charlotte called on her mother, Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville, last Wednesday afternoon. A former local boy was recently promoted to the rank of colonel in the U.S. Air Force. He is Stephen Hinderliter, son of Donald and Zelna Hinderliter, former community residents and publishers of the Nashville News from 1941 to 1956. The senior Hinderliters now live in Battle Creek. Stephen is stationed at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia, where he is Director of Information. He graduated from high school here in 1952, then continued his education at Michigan State University earning a degree in journalism. Stephen later acquired a master’s degree in public relations from Boston University. The Hinderliter family were well-known and a popular family in our village. Editor Don always gave special en­ couragement to struggling young writers in Nashville’s high school journalism classes and when the first “Quill and Scroll” international honor society chapter was inaugurated here in 1955, it was named the Donald Hinderliter Chapter in his honor. (Your reporter, one of the four charter members of the local group, remembers the occasion well.) Editor Don was pleased by, as always, extremely modest about the recognition. Huge, shoulder-high snowbanks along country roads have created serious vision problems for local motorists and in one recent instance were cited as the cause of a 2-car collision on the Hager Road curve. The narrow roadway and wide snowbanks left little room for two autos meeting on the curve to pass, resulting in a crash. Fortunately, no injuries were reported and both vehicles were operable following the mishap which was policed by the Nashville Police Depart­ ment.

PHONE 852-9107 Mrs. Eva Kalnbach of Nashville Site Senior Citizens dinner Nashville’s village hall is currently undergoing extensive renovation to create separate office facilities for the police department and the village clerk. Since village council and zoning meetings, plus village elections, are not being held at the more spacious Castleton Township Hall on South Main Street, village officials decided to proceed with the longawaited remodeling of village hall to provide more efficient work space and privacy for both the clerk and police department operation. A small entry foyer will allow adequate room for the public to pay water bills, or transact other business with the clerk, via a pass-through window. Both the clerk’s office and the police department have doors leading from the foyer area into their separate quarters. Nearly equal work space for both operations was provided by installation of an east-west partition and relocation of a storage closet. Attractive wood-grained paneling along with a wallpaper-style patterned paneling brighten the renovated hall. The entire DPW crew has been involved with the project, and some of the men have even donated their Saturday off-time to speed completion. Nashville residents should be very pleased with the convenient and attractively remodeled municipal facilities. Mrs. Deidra Sprinkle, supervisor of the Nashville Nutrition Site, baked cupcakes with candy heart decorations as a special Valentine’s Day treat for the Senior Citizens who lunch there. And in observance of the occasion last Wednesday, Mrs. Nellie Moon and Mrs. Fern Hawblitz brought antique valentines to display. Mrs. Feme Green also brought along several colorful old postcard valentines, with quaint verses, to share with others. An interesting note on the old Wolcott House recently featured in a “Memories” story: Mrs. Caroline Jones of Nashville last week found a May 13th, 1948 issue of an old Nashville News containing a “70 years ago” column. An item in it read: “A large force of workmen are rushing construction of the Wolcott Hotel on South Main Street. It will contain 27 sleeping rooms and two or three parlors.” The discovery by Mrs. Jones helped establish a missing link in our story-that the Wolcott House was built in 1878, a fact that had eluded our earlier research. The expansion at Carl’s Market on Reed Street is progressing rapidly. Last week an opening was made bet­ ween the existing store and the new addition. Heavy plastic was hung to keep dust out of the store while the joining wall was torn down. Interior finishing work is currently un­ derway in the addition which adds 5,100 square feet of floor space to the west side of the present market. After a week of basking in the Bahama sunshine, Mrs. Homer (Tecla) Snow returned home to Nashville last week and reports it was quite a shock to her system. A 3-hour flight transported her from mid-70 to sub-zero tem­ peratures. Tecla with her daughter, Barbara Snow of Lansing, and a friend, Mrs. Lisa Skidmore of Hastings, flew to the Bahamas from Windsor, Canada. They stayed in an oceanfront hotel at Freeport, overlooking clear blue waters and sandy white beaches. Shopping at the International Bazaar for imported goods was a highlight, as was Lisa’s flight on a para-sail, towed aloft by a motor boat and landing on an ocean platform. They also enjoyed watching the filmingjjf the “Superstars” competition for television at the Bahamas Princess Hotel, billed as “the home of the ANEW YOU WITH A NEW HAIRDO Irene’s Beauty Shop By Susan Hinckley Monday, February 26th. Mrs. Eva Kalnbach of Nashville will give the presentation. All senior citizens in the community are invited to attend the 12:30 p.m. showing at the Masonic Temple on Main Street. The Education Committee of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet Wednesday evening, February 21st, at 7 p.m. at the church. Two interesting photos were also received in the mail last week from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin. The pictures, reprinted from old negatives, are unfortunately not clear enough for publication but we thought readers might enjoy hearing about them. Pictured on ttop of the old “standpipe” in Putnam Park are Gayion Cronk, Harley Kinne, Emory Morris, Ralph Townsend, and Meade. Only'Kinne and Meade are still living. Morris, of course, went on to great fame as Director ofJhe W.K. Kellogg Foundation. Townsend lived in Vermontville for many years, worked in Lansing, and died in Florida some years ago, according to Meade. Cronk also passed away in Florida in 1976. Kinne, a retired registered pharmacist, now lived in Grand Ledge where he practiced his trade for many years. He had started his pharmacy career by working at Charley Brown’s drug store in the Gribben block when he was only 14. The photos sent by Meade dated from about 1919, he believes. Thanks to Kenneth A. Meade for sharing his memories of Nashville’s past. Mrs. Edna McConnell of Battle Creek visited her sister, Mrs. Viola Beystrum of Nashville, last week and spent several days here. Tuesday evening, Edna called on Mrs. Bertha Becker of Nashville. The United Methodist Church Council on Ministries will meet at 7:60 p.m. Tuesday, February 20th, at the church, followed by an 8:00 p.m. meeting of the Administrative Board. Orville (“Mike”) Everett of Nashville owns an unusual photo of Lentz Table Company employees taken in 1923. The long, narrow picture is dated October 24th. of that year and shows 75 workers, including four women. The photo was passed down through Mike’s family, and depicts a variety of workingman’s clothing typical of that time. However, one stately-looking gentleman in a vested suit, complete with pocket watch, is Lewis Lentz, according to Mike. Another member of the founder’s family, Carl Lentz, is also in the photo. The framed picture measures approximately 30 in­ ches long and only 7 inches high. A final chapter on the Class of 1920 photo recently published in a “Memories” feature: We reported last week that the whereabouts of all class members but Donna Francis, Paul Gardner, and Elna Peterson had been lear­ ned. Subsequently, we received information on all three. Donna Francis is now deceased but had lived many years in Oregon, reports her cousin, Mrs. Russell Smith of Nashville. Paul Gardner passed away in 1960 in the Lansing area, where he had lived most of his life, according to Mrs. Kenneth Gardner of Nashville, whose husband was Paul’s nephew. And Elna Peterson (“the girl in the dark sailor dress”) is living in Nebraska, reports Mrs. Gardner. She received the information through a local realtive of Elna’s who did not know her married name. The Class of 1920 photo, furnished by Kenneth A. Meade of Franklin, brought more reader response than any other published thus far. We appreciate all the helpful calls and letters which aided identification of the class members. Readers are encouraged to call this reporter at 852-1963 to report any additions or corrections to information furnished in the “Memories” feature. The input of long-time Nashville residents is needed to complete research on many of the old photos and insure historical accuracy in our reports. If you have Nashville rhemeories to share, or photos to lend for publication, please let us know. And speaking of corrections: Lloyd Wilcox of Nashville was kind enough to point out that Jim and “Ma” Taylor’s farm on Kalamo Highwasy was southeast (not southwest) of Nashville. (Not a typographical error; this reporter just needs a compass:) The Taylors, Wilcox reports, lived on the old McDerby farm before opening their Main Street livery stable. The McDerby family were also long-time Nashville merchants. Thanks to Lloyd for sharing. WE CARE ABOUT YOU The funeral home as we know it has developed only during this century when private homes frequently proved inadequate and inconvenient - also allow­ ing little of the peace and quiet that the time of death demands.

Leonard Putnam of Nashville is attending a 3-day continuing education course at Albion College this week, studying the subject of time management as it relates to pastors. Several farmers from the Barry and Eaton County areas met in Nashville last week for a 2-day workshop on dair feeding, conducted by the Barry and Eaton County Ex­ tension Services. Jack Gergen, an agricultural agent with the Barry County office, reports that a dozen farmers were given a demonstration of the use of a computer to calculate ration formulations for their dairy cattle, and also feed cost calculations. Comparisons were made between hand calculations, the use of small advanced hand calculators, and computer calculations. The computer, shown to be most effective, is available at the Barry County Extension office in Hastings for use by farmers, via phone, at a minimal charge. Wayne and Sherry Gould, and daughter Leslie, of Bivens Road returned last week from an 18 day trip to Arizona and California. The Goulds flew from Kent County Airport to Tucson, Arizona, to visit his parents, the Gaylord Goulds.

Mr. Charles Cornish was present at the meeting and stated his concern over the handling of a situation that developed in the locker room following the Jr. Varisty basketball game against Lakeview. His general concern was related to comments made by coach Mel Ruohonen and Mr. Cornish’s son who is a member of the Jr. Varisty basketball team. Mr. Ruohonen stated that it was nuecessary to suspend Mr. Cornish’s son for one game considering that team rules had not been followed. No action was taken by the board members relative to action taken by coach Mel Ruohonen.

A June 2, wedding is being planned. In 1931, when Mrs. Olith Hamilton first came to Nashville to begin her long teaching career, a home economics department was started in a house located north of the school (on the approximate present-day site of the Kellogg School sygmansium). “There were only two women on the teaching staff then,” remembers Mrs. Hamilton. The other was Nashville native Leia Roe, a music and art instructor. A new agricultural( department was also in­ stituted about that time, with classes taught by the superintendant. In 1936, a brick addition,containing a gymnasium and two floors of classrooms, was added to the north end of the 1902 schoolhouse. Financial aid from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation made the expansion possible and the school was renamed Nashville W.K. Kellogg Rural Agricultural School. Gone from the scene was the old “home economics house,” which school of­ ficials. had furnished as a classroom, seemingly missing its’ real-life training potential. One by one, other homes sharing the school block had been purchased and removed. Only one remains. The forested Washington Street site, selected in 1867 for a two-room frame school, had hosted a full century of education for Nashville’s youngsters when the wrecking crew arrived in 1966. However, today, children still flock to the scene and tradition continues as the 1936 addition to the old brick school now stands its’ own right and serves the com­ munity as Kellogg Elementary School. Young maples guard Nashville's old school house in the winter of 1909, just seven years after the sturdy brick and stone structure was built. The main entry faced Washington Street, in the staunch south wall that snapped wrecking cables as it resisted demolition in 1966.

Charlotte hospital launches expansion fund drive A drive has Seen launched to raise $1.5 million for the construction ofa new wing at Hayes Green - Beach Hospital in Charlotte. Doug Lowe, Charlotte realtor and active civic leader, is ser­ ving as General Chairman for the Fund which will cover the entire service area of the hospital. The service area encompasses all of Charlotte and Olivet and portions of Bellevue, Vermontville, Potterville,, Mulliken, Sunfield, and Nashville. “Every individual and company within the service area of the hospital will have an opportunity to participate in the campaign,” said Mr. Lowe. Approximately $1,300,000 of the money raised will be spent on modernization of the present hospital, the cost of fund raising, and the collection of pledges. Two area banks, Michigan National and Eaton Federal Savings and Loan, have gotten the campaign off to a good start with advance gifts of $25,000 and $20,000 respectively. The campaign leadership under Mr. Lowe includes R. Lynn Fowler, Vice President, Fowler Chevrolet and Oldsmobile Agency in Charlotte, Big Gifts; Al Hirt, Owner Al Hirt Ford Mercury in Charlotte, Special Gifts; Dr. Frederick P. Darin, Optometrist, General Gifts; and Lyle W. Buxton, Area Chairman. Mr. Buxton, now retired after some 30 years with the Farmer’s Home Ad­ ministration of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, has major responsibility for the organization of the fund drive in the outlying areas of Charlotte.

Johnson’s Furniture PRESENTS CLASSIC PORTFOLIO Fine All-Wood Tables seemed out of place since there was no difference between the behavior of the audience and council members. 2. One council member seemed upset because phone calls were made urging people to attend the last meeting. The phone calls that I made were urging people to come in support of the issue or at least to come and hear both sides. It would appear that the council member didn’t want citizen input on the issue. 3. Council members were elected to represent the citizens of Nashville. I saw no evidence by the majority of the council that they were working in the best interests or with the support of the community, when they ignored the wishes of 35 people in attendance and supported the view sup­ ported by only 3 people in attendance Could it be that the council forgot the audience vote that was taken a short time before their own vote?

The organization is also marking its 50th anniversary.

First Aid for farm injuries is part of the practical knowledge FFA members receive. 7 to 14 bags, ball point pens, and bumper stickers in the community. The traditions of FFA have held strong and produced a mighty work force for food and fiber to meet the needs of our nation and the world. Successful agricultural leaders of today are the testimony...a 50-year suc­ cess story of learning by doing. National FFA Week always includes George Washington’s birthday in observance of his leadership in promoting scientific farming practices.

Other of­ ficers chosen were Laurie Kipp as Secretary; and Helen Hay as Treasurer. The selection ofa candidate to fill the post of Vice-President is still pending. Janice and Jerry Johnson had acted as temporary chairpersons for the fledgling group after several interested persons gathered for an informal idea session January 30th. The Johnson’s initiative was an important contribution in launching the organization, getting it off to a very good start. “We have outstanding library for a village our size,” said Johnson. He encouraged use of the library as a cultural center for the community as well as for traditional library ser­ vices. He pointed to dramatics and folklore as potential uses. Last Monday the newlyformed group decided that their first project for the library will be to establish a collection of periodicals for the reference room. ' Magazines in the news, business, science, and nature categories are being sought, starting with current issues retroactive for a oneyear period. Individuals with these types of periodicals to donate may contact any FOL memeber, call the library , or drop the material off at Johnson’s Furniture Store. “Those who have an in­ terest in the library but are unable to attend regular meetings are still encouraged to lend full support to various ‘Friends’ project,” comments Putnam librarian La Duska Sheldon. She reports that many local residents have contacted her to offer assistance, and express interest in the organization, although they are unable to actively participate in meetings. “Friends of the Library” groups have been formed throughout the state, aiding local libraries with a variety of programs ranging from assisting the library staff with reading programs to cleaning the premises. A multitude of conventional, and some unique, fund­ raising events have also been staged by such groups to benefit their libraries. Bylaws for establishment of the local organization were furnished by the Michigan Department of Education State Library Services, which also was the source of information for the various projects of FOL groups in the state. The next regular meeting of the local ‘Triends of the Library” will be held at the library on Tuesday, February 27th, at 10:00 a.m. Meetings of the organization may alternate between morning and evening sessions for the convenience of persons with jobs and other committments that might conflict with a per­ manently set time. Pam Bishop, a teen-age member of the FOL, con­ ducted a children’s story hour last Monday evening to entertain youngsters who had accompanied their parents to the meeting.

The new Queen is sixteenyear-old Janice Siple, a junior at Maple Valley High School who bubbles with enthusiasm and is talented in many fields. She resides with her parents, Lois and Robert Siple, and her three brothers in a large farmhouse on Gresham Highway which formerly had belonged to her great-grandparente. Janice was selected Queen last week on the basis of her poise, personality, and ,yes, even on her knowledge of the basics of maple syrup making. As queen, Janice will represent Vermontville in its promotion of the annual Maple Syrup Festival which will be held April 27-29. She will be offically crowned by the 1978 Queen, Karen Christensen, during ceremonies on April 28. Besides Vermontville’s Grand Parade, during the festivities, Janice said she will participate in 6-8 other parades during her reign. Janice is active in school activities and extracuricular endeavors. A member of the National Honor Society,- she Vermontville's Syrup Queen enjoys playing the piano and also plays trombone in the high school band. plays trombone in the high school band and performs with the pep band and en­ semble band. She appeared as part of the chorus in the school’s production of “Fiddler On The Roof” and even plays powder puff football. The voice heard reading school announcements over the P.A. system is Janice’s, and she also keeps the statistics for Junior Varsity Football. In her hobbies and ac­ tivities, Janice is as com­ fortable at the piano or sewing machine as she is in the barn tending her flock of sheep and equally talented as well. She captured second place in a 4-H sheep shearing contest and sews many of her own clothes, including several very professional looking pant suits aiid even a wool coat trimmed in fur. Right now she is working on a five-piece outfit she plans to enter next fall in the “Make It With . Wool Con­ test” sponsored by Michigan State University. Janice has been playing the piano for eight years and took lessons for six. She enjoys playing both classical and popular numbers. Knitting, > working with ceramics, and canoeing are activities she enjoys too. 4-h plays an important part in her life and Janice belongs to two different clubs. She serves as vice president of the 4-H group “Happy Homes, Happy Hands” and is secretary of the Vermontville Junior Farmers. With the Junior Farmers, Janice works with her six sheep, learning about marketing, breeding, stock, and showmanship. One of her goals is to knit a sweater with yarn spun from wool from her own sheep. Janice is shown with one of her six sheep which she takes care of as part of her 4-H activities with the Vermontville Junior Farmers. In the other club, her activities focus on sewing, knitting, cooking, canning, arts and crafts and furniture refinishing. She has refinished a rocking chair and oak table which are part of the fur­ nishings in her family’s home. She also finds cooking enjoyable and often will help prepare dinner. Canning at the Siple household is a family affair. “We sit out at the picnic table and everyone’s in­ volved,” said Mrs. Siple. Janice’s father is em­ ployed at the Post Cereal division of General Foods in Battle Creek and also raises hay, sheep, and hogs. And when it’s chore time around the farm, Janice as well as her brothers Mark, 15, Michael,11, and Danny,9, pitch in to help. After high school graduation in 1980, Janice plans to enroll in nursing school. She has grown up around “talk of hospitals,” says her mother, explaining that she and Janice’s grandmother were nurses and that Janice’s father had been an orderly when he attended college. With that background and a desire “to help people,” choosing a career in nursing is a natural for Janice. But meanwhile, she is looking forward to an ex­ citing year as Vermontville’s Maple Syrup Festival Queen. “She enjoys what she’s doing, and that’s what counts,” said Mrs. Siple of her daughter. And her reign as queen should be no ex­ ception. MAPLE SYRUP ROYALTY: Queen Janice Siple is shown in the center surrounded by members of her court.

Todd Gearhart led the scoring in the Central Montcalm game with 22 points. Pat Kersjes had 14 rebounds and 10 points. In the Carson City game the Jaynce fought back several times in a very exciting game. Maple Valley had the ball with four seconds to go only to have a pass intercepted and a lost second shot end the game. Pat Kersjes and Tddd Gearhart led the scoring with 24 points each. Kesjes led the rebounding with 16 Ballard completes Air Force basic training San Antonio Airman Brian K. Ballard, son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald R.

February 21. 1979 — Page 10 MSU 'Farmers' Week' probes dairy, industry, energy conservation, trade challenging farm management— Dairy programs at Michigan State University’s Fanners’ Week will provide producers guidelines to improving management efficiency. The 64-year-old event, March 19-24, carries the theme “Food’ America’s Essential Resource.” “If we are to meet the world food demands of the future, we must assist our farmers in curbing production costs,” says Tom Thorburn, Farmers’ Week provides a strong insight as to how MSU Agricultural Experiment Station scien­ tists and MSU Cooperative Extension Service personnel can help." Dairy sessions begin Monday (March 19) with the dairy breeds association meetings. A highlight of the day is the dairy breeds award program beginning at noon inthe Kellogg Center for Continuing Education. During the luncheon, Michigan’s outstanding dairy producers will be recognized and awarded. Tuesday’s dairy program begins with a look at coping with rising energy costs in production. The session is in 109 Anthony Hall beginning at 9:30 a.m. Topics dwell upon the future availability and cost of energy, using fuel efficiently, heat exchangers and waste heat use, grain drying and storage systems, and alternative systems for feeding the herd. These topics will show producers what steps can be taken to conserve energy now. The Tuesday afternoon session, beginning at 1 p.m. in 110 Anthony Hall, takes a look at international trade talks and the dairy industry. Topics include an outline of how dairy products are in­ volved in foreign trade, the position of. a Michigan dairy processor and that of a Michigan farmer, and the view of an MSU agricultural economist. Wednesday, beginning at 10 a.m. in 103 Kellogg Center, the MSU dairy science and the agricultural economics departments will have a clinic about the program mable calculator.

Wetlands Bill-The House Conservation Committee has started work on HB 4049, which is designed to preserve and protect Michigan’s wetlands. It has been introduced before; chief concerns center on heavy-handed government regulations. Fuel Supplies-Despite crises elsewhere jn the world and an extremely cold January state energy authorities say that available fuel supplies will get us through the winter. But U.S. fuel rationing could begin in the spring. Divorce Thoughts-A preliminary report from a special legislative commission on the courts has suggested a number of alternatives to the present system of going to court to get a divorce. For example, since 96 percent of all divorces are uncontested, a domestic relations agency could provide counseling, help protect children’s rights and ease court loads. Driver Profile-The Secretary of State’s annual driver profile shows that while bad drivers do have frequent accidents, most accidents involve drivers without penalty points on their records. Nearly three drivers in 10 will be in an accident during any 5-year period; also, women are far less likely to be involved in an accident than men. Budget Fund-Our Budget Stabilization or “Rainy Day” Fund, enacted two years ago, has been singled out by the Council of State Governments as one of 8 innovative state government programs worthy of further study by other states. The Fund presently holds about $224 million. Fair Plan-The Department of Natural Resources has stated a $6.8 million redevelopment plan for the state fairgrounds in Detroit. They will demolish all but six .buildings, renovate those and build others. The goal is to create a year-round recreation and exhibit site. Laetril Bill-The House will soon vote on HB 4078, which would legalize the drug Laetrile in Michigan. This bill is identical to one which passed the House last year and was the subject of lengthy debate; it permits the manufacture, prescription or dispensing of Laetrile. Coyote Bounty-Also coming up for a vote is HB 4048, which would repeal Michigan’s 44-year-old bounty on coyotes. This proposal has passed the House in two previous sessions but has died in the Senate. Bounty numbers have declined in recent years due to rising fu>prices. Community Events . .

The dairy programs are only a few of the more than 300 educational sessions offered to farmer and nonfarmers wishing to learn more about improving food production and maximizing production inputs. Cattle numbers off 15% The number of Cattle on Michigan farms dropped 15 percent during 1978 and 20 percent in the past 2 years. A January 1 inventory survey turned up only 1.25 million cattle and calves in the state, the fewest in 77 years. Beef cows plummeted 30 percent to 138,000 head, the lowest in 10 years, as far­ mers rushed their cattle to market to response to higher prices. Meanwhile many beef type heifers were being diverted to feed lots instead of herd re-building. The inventory of heifers over 500 pounds for beef cow replacement at 19,000 dropped 34 percent, while other heifers at 55,000 head stood near last year’s level. Milk cows continued their slow decline to 402,000 on dairy farms this January, just 2,000 head below last year. Dairy replacement heifers dropped 19 percent to 149,000, but remained only 5 percent below 2 years ago. Steers slid 23 percent to 187,000 head, hulls fell 32 percent to 19,000, and calves at 281,000 under 500 pounds slipped 15 percent below a year ago. The 1978 calf crop of 510,000 new-borns fell 11 percent below the previous year to follow a 10 percent decline in the total number of cows. The total value of Michigan’s cattle herd shot up 30 percent, however, to $625 million despite the sharp decline in numbers. The average animal was worth $500 this year com­ pared with $325 last January. CASH FOR LAND CONTRACTS Any type of real estate throughout Michigan. No commissions or closing costs.

Village President Harold Christiansen called the second meeting after ob­ jections to Thursday’s action were raised by some village employees, who reportedly said they had not had an opportunity to review the plan prior to its’ adoption and would not work under it. “I was under the im­ pression that all Village employees had seen the grievance procedure,” explained Trustee John Mason, who had moved Thursday to adopt the plan but reversed his stand Saturday and moved to rescind it. Mason said he learned Friday all village employees had not been consulted by a special committee appointed by Christiansen to study the procedure for recommendation to the council. Mason said the employees were “not in agreement with most of it.” Leon Frith, head of the Department of Public Works, indicated at Satur­ day’s meeting that his crew felt some conditions of the plan were “unfair practices to work under,” and he thought it was “imperative” the council discuss the procedure with village employees immediately. He said he had not been con­ sulted on committee revisions to the originallyproposed plan. Trustee Helen Curtis pointed out that Frith had not objected to the plan at Thursday’s meeting when copies of the procedure were circulated among the audience. Committee revisions were read at that time and opinions solicited before the council’s approval of the plan. “You are head of the DPW; you should have spoken for your men Thursday night,” Curtis told Fqth. Had he done so, she, explained, the plan would have been sent back to committee for changes prior to adoption. Mason’s move to rescind the plan Saturday failed to gain sufficient votes for approval. However, the council unanimously agreed to send the grievance procedure back to the committee for amendments, allowing an opportunity for review by all departments and employees while the system remains in effect. The 5-step plan outlines required procedure for channeling employee problems and complaints through immediate super­ visors before stepping up to committee, then council level, for resolution. “The idea of a grievance procedure is to resolve disputes so that both sides feel they are winners,” commented audience member Richard Kohfeldt. He suggested dialogue and input from village em­ ployees might help claify the plan, but stressed the council should not give up their power and authority as village employers nor be “dictated to by village employees.” Kohfeldt reflected the consensus of opinion at Saturday’s’ meeting which favored possibly amending, rather than scrapping, the newly-adopted plan. The employees’ primary objections to' the procedure on final centered a paragraph which would forbid them discussing employee relations or problems at a regular meeting of the village council (The plan, however, provided for written complaints and responses traveling through a chain of command which could eventually reach the council). Other objections were to a paragraph defining grievances, and a ruling that grievances settled at any level would be permanently retained in their personnel files. In business Thursday, the council referred to com­ mittee a revised police work schedule presented by Trustee Ted Spoelstra. He said it was essentially the same 21-day schedule adopted by the council two weeks ago except that it would allow the chief to remain on a day shift. The most recently adopted schedule* had created some controversy because the chief is required to work night shifts on an equally rotating basis with his two officers. Also referred to committee were four sealed bids opened by Mason, quoting prices for a l-ton cab and chassis for the Department of Public Works. Additional equip­ ment for the truck will in­ clude a dump body, hoist, snow plow, and hydraulic hook-ups. The committee is to evaluate the bids and come back to the council with a recommendation. The council also heard a bid for body repair needed on the 1978 Chevy Nova police cruiser and tabled until next meeting the police com­ mittee’s recommendation to sell the backup unit, a 1975 Ford. A letter from Chief Wilcox to police committee head Sharon Green listed insurance rates, operational costs, and estimates of a new exhaust system needed on the vehicle. “The police committee’s recommendation is to sell the car is,” Green reported, saying it was not being used as often as had been an­ ticipated. In answer to an audience question on another matter, the council indicated Leonard Eaton earns Eagle rank — Leonard Eaton, a member of Boy Scout Troop 177, will receive the rank of Eagle Scout during a Court of Honor tonight (Tuesday) in the Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School auditorium. The ceremonies have been scheduled to coincide with Pack 3176's Bl”"» and Gold Banquet. Leonard, 14, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Arnold Eaton of Nashville. He has been in scouting for six years and is in the ninth grade at Maple Valley. His favorite subject is math and In his spare time, Leonard likes to build model rockets and enjoys reading.

Marcelo, who came to the USA under the “Youth for Understanding” program, is enrolled as a senior at Maple Valley High School. He choose Michigan as his preferred state because of his curiosity about our winter weather and is delighted with out snow, a new experience for him. The coldest month of the year in his native city of Porto Alegre is July, with temperatures rarely dipping below the mid-30’s. Marcelo is also impressed with the variety of American foods, especially pastries and other sweets, which are not plentiful in his country. Candy bars and potato chips are a new treat for him. Though fluent in English, the native language of Marcelo and his family, consisting of his parents and a 13year-old sister, is Portugese. Upon his return to Brazil, Marceo will enter college for five years of study to become an agriculturist. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Vern Hawblitz of Nash­ ville who observed their 57th wedding anniversary February 15th. A family celebration was held Sunday afternoon, the 18th, at the Hawblitz home. Present for the occasion were Mr. and Mrs. Dale Bishop and son, Douglas; and Mr. and Mrs. Larry Hawblitz and children, Terese and Kevin, all of Battle Creek; Mr. and Mrs, Blair Hawblitz and grand­ daughter, Stacey, and Mrs. Gladys Miller, all of Nashville. Last week’s thawing trend was warmly welcome by local residents but created inconvenience for some. The higher temperatures drove frost deeper into the ground, causing water lines to freeze. Putnam Library was on the list of “casualties” but pipes were quickly thawed by the village DPW crew using special equipment brought in from Bellevue. The library staff appreciated the rapid response of the village workers to restore water service to the building. Several homes in the village were also affected and required, ■ the services of the crew. Residents who have experienced freeze-ups, or those who anticipate such problems, are asked to leave a tap running. Adjustments of water charges will be made if village hall is notified, advises Village Clerk Suzy Corkwell.

Family Month at the Nashville Baptist Church will conclude with “Grandparent’s Sunday” held February 25th. The Nashville Fire Department had a very hectic weekend recently, battling varidhs types of residential blazes. At midnight Friday evening, February 16th, the firemen were 'summoned to the former Steve Priddy residence located on M-66 south of town. A passerby had spotted a fire there, notified the department, and began throwing snow on the blaze. It was contained when the firefighters arrived but left a three by four foot hole in the side of an attached garage. Cause of the fire was determined to have been a week-old coals cleaned from a wood-burning stove and spread on the snow outside earlier that morning. Amazingly; the coals had been stored in a bucket in the garage for six days before being spread on a pathway ad­ jacent to the house, before re-igniting. Sunday evening, about 5:30 p.m., the Nashville firemen were summoned to assist the Hastings Fire Department in battling a house fire on McGynn Road. The local firefighters were called when the blaze worsened as flames in the house partitions became exposed; they stayed on scene over four hours aiding the Hastings firemen. No sooner home and settled in for the night, the local firefighters were again called out-this time to a fire at the "David Roush residence on East Casgrove, at 1:00 a.m. Although no flames were visible, the wall area where a wood stove stack entered the chimney was smouldering. The firemen controlled the situation by removing insulation from the wall area, and remained on the scene an hour. Musical selections from various Broadway plays, in­ cluding “My Fair Lady” and “Fiddler on the Roof.”, were enjoyed by members of the Nashville Lions Club and their wives at a Monday evening dinner, February 19th, at the Nashville United Methodist Church. The performance, dubbed “Entertainment 77”, was provided by Mary Bills, daughter of the Ahmo Jordans of Nashville, and a troupe of entertainers from Battle Creek. Mary is a member of the Civic Theater group there. Guests at the dinner were six visiting Lions from Mulliken and one from Vermontville, plus Jan Kasper of Clarksville, a candidate for Lions District Governor, and his wife, Doris. Phil Howard, 1st Vice President of the local club, presided at the meeting in the absence of President Rev. Leonard Putnam, who was at­ tending classes at Albion College.

She was presented with a dozen red roses and a heart-shaped box of chocolates, both decorated with red gingham ribbon. Theresa, was one of seven candidates nominated during the Saturday evening event sponsored'by the Riverside Recreational Develop­ ment Corp. Others entered in the competition were Bonnie Maker, Mary Bills, Janice Filter, Penny Cosgwell, Kay Birnbaum, and Sally Rodriguez. Votes for each candidate were gathered by her sponsor (husband, sweetheart, or friend) who circulated a colorfully decorated canister among the dancers, seeking money votes for his “sweetheart”. A small entry fee for each contestant plus monies collected as votes in the contest were donated to the RRDC for their community park project. All proceeds of the dance, .which was a gala event despite sub-zero tem­ peratures outside, will help construct ball diamonds, tennis courts, and other recreational facilities adjacent to the Thornapple River, west of the Main Street stores. The dancers kept warm to the lively rhythms of the Rick Rodriguez band in the heated fire barri, and the RRDC reports the affair was a financial success. Funeral services were held last Wednesday in Detroit for Mrs. Beatrice Bilko, daughter of Mrs. Mabel Brumm of Nashville. Mrs. Bilko passed away Sunday, February 18th, in Detroit.

Dressed as Raggady Ann and Andy, Sandy Hulbert of Vermontville and Tom (“Tad”) Davis of Nashville, recently completed a 50 hour, weekend dance marathon in Lansing and, alone, raised over $1,400 for the Michigan Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation. The entire event, in which 50 couples participated, netted $91,178. for the charity, tripling the amount raised in a similar competition last year in which Tad and Sandy finished fourth. The recent marathon was sponsored by the Delta-Ta-Delta Fraternity of Michigan State University and was staged at Lansing’s Meridian Mall. The fifty couples began dancing at 4:00*p.m. Friday, February 16, and by the 6:00 p.m. Sunday deadline 42 of them were still on their feet. Contestants were allowed a half-hour rest for every four hours danced, and were not disqualified as long as their feet continued moving. The event was filmed by television stations from Okemos, Detroit and Lansing. Sandy and Tad finished in the top ten; winners were determined by completion of the dance as well as pledges collected from sponsors who paid a certain amount for each hour danced by the couple. Costumes were also judged in a separate competition. The local young couple extends thanks to Maple Valley area merchants and individuals who contributed most of the $1400. they raised for the charity. Sandy, a junior at MVHS, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Hulbert of Vermontville and Tad, a 1977 MVHS graduate, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Tim Boucher of Nashville.

The Junior High Class of the Nashville Church of the Nazarene enjoyed a day-long expedition to Chicago last Saturday under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Her­ man of Nashville. They enjoyed touring the Museum of Science and Industry there, and sightseeing. Received a phone call from Adolph Douse, Jr. in Lakeland, Florida, last week relating some interesting footnotes for some recent “Memories” features. Adolph’s father worked for the Lentz Table Company for thirty-some years, staring in 1908. Adolph, Jr. also worked there the summer of 1926 under unusual circumstances. During the proceeding winter leg surgery was necessary for young Adolph but funds were low. Frank Lentz, a member of the founding family of the table company, befriended the young man and loaned him $130 for the surgery plus the expense of a two-weeks stay in an Ann Arbor Hospital. Next summer, Adolph, Jr. temporarily left his employment at the Furniss and Wotring Drug Store to work at the Lentz TablefCompany to repay Lentz. Adolph recalls he made about 30 cents an hour working in the finishing department. “There were about 150 employees in the Lentz factory at that time,” reports Adolph. And even though Frank was a very busy executive and some thought the family to be tight-fisted, Adolph disagrees. “Frank was a busy man but he had a very good heart,” said Adolph of his benefactor Douse was also able to shed some light on the mysterious newspaper headline in the recent photo of “Ma” Taylor and “her kids”. The 1928 Grand Rapids press headlined “Auto Crash Toll Reaches Three” did have a bearing on Nashville, he says. Three Lake Odessa football players, headed home after a game here, crashed head-on with a southbound car driven by a salesman. A fire ensued. Two boys and the salesman were killed. Adolph went to the scene with local undertaker Ralph Hess to lift the bodies into boxes; the year was 1928. Additional notes from Adolph’s conversation: the man on the right in the “unidentified plumbers” photo is Lyman Baxter, he is sure. And the Dahlhouser Store was not south of the bank, but north of the bank (in the present-day Nash­ ville Auto and Farm Supply store). Prior to that time, it was located where the present-day Hecker Agency is situated. We welcome any additions and corrections to the in­ formation supplied in the “Memories” features. With input from long-time local residents, we hope to insure historical accuracy in the reports to be handed down in future years. The calls and letters are very much appreciated and we thank everyone for their interest in the project. J.B. Cain, father of Mrs. Ahmo Jordan of north M-66, is confined at Pennock Hospital. He was taken there onMonday last week by the Nashville ambulance. The Cains are from Carp Lake and have been wintering with the Jordans. Installation of ceiling, paneling, and shelving was un­ derway last week inside the recent addition to Carl’s Market.

In most of the Peace Corps countries agricultural volunteers are being requested. Single volunteers or married couples with 4-H leadership skills are currently being sought for the Dominican Republic, Belize, and Eastern Caribbean. In these countries young people are leaving the rural sector for jobs in the urban areas. This is due to the fact that jobs in the urban industrial areas command higher social status and require less arduous work. The result is that valuable farming areas remain un­ worked at a time when food shortages exist and rural development continues at a slow pace 4-H programs are con­ sidered by these countries as a means to encourage young people to stay on the farm and to teach better agricultural practices. Current request for volun­ teers with 4-H leadership skills require skills to per­ form a variety of tasks such as: Organized clubs, give demonstrations, help with 4­ H fairs, train new 4-H organizers, work to establish district 4-H councils, and identify local project support materials. The Peace Corps provides language training, tran­ sportation to and from the host country, health care, living expenses, vacation time, and $3,000 upon completion of two years of service.

SNOWPLOWING Budget Cuts - Governor Milliken will this week recom­ mend budget cuts for the current fiscal year amounting to some 4 percent, due to declining state revenues. Cuts will be across the board except for Mental Health and Corrections programs. Plate Deadline - There is barely a month left for you to get your 1979 license plates if you haven’t already done so. The deadline is April 3; as of mid-February, less than half of Michigan's vehicle owners had purchased their plates. Tax Indexing? A recently-introduced Republican propasal, HB 4113, would tie the state personal income tax exemption to the consumer price index: as inflation drives up prices and wages, your exemption would increase as well. No-Fault Faults - The Senate Commerce Committee will begin hearings this month on revisions to Michigan’s no­ fault insurance law. The Supreme Court said last year the law is conditionally constitutional, provided the legislature makes changes by the end of this year. Court requirements center on fair and reasonable rates, and review for can­ celled policies. Bounties Hunted - Now in the House is SB 40, which would repeal all remaining state bounties. This includes bounties on coyotes, sparrows, crows, starlings and rats; in that respect it goes further than the recently-passed HB 4048, which would repeal coyote bounties only. Elk Oil - The Michigan Supreme Court has permanently banned oil and gas drilling in the Pigeon River Country State Forest. Although there is believed to be a major oil field in the area, the Court said the wells are “likely to pollute, impair or destroy the air, water or other natural resources,” particularly noting the adverse impact on elk, bobcat and bear. Sunset Test - Michigan cattle sellers will vote this month on whether to continue the state Beef Industry Commission. The law creating this Commission specified that such an election be held at this time; if a majority votes to “sunset”, the Commission will be ended. Sculpture Fund - Private contributions are needed for a large outdoor sculpture for the Capitol Complex in Lansing. $100,000 has been raised; $150,000 more is needed. Write Special Commission on Art in State Buildings, in care of Mr. Buckley, DMB, Box 30026, Lansing MI 48909. Loans Up - Michigan college students borrowed a record $61.8 million in 1977-78 under the state guaranteed loan program, which is $16 million more than in 1976-77. Also, the 34,471 loans made represented an increase of 15.2 percent over the previous year. Action-Ads BOARDING DOGS & CATS: Carroll Wells, Phone 726­ 0129.

William Howard Taft was president of the United States and several significant historical events were taking place around the world. Capt. Amundsen, a Norwegian explorer, was leading a year­ long expedition to reach the South Pole. In the USA, the first transcontinental air­ plane flight was made by C P Rogers, who flew from New York to Pasadena with numerous stops. He spent a total of 82 hours -and 4 minutes in the air. And beyond our southern border, a revolution was brewing in Mexico. Newsworthy events were also occuring in Nashville that year, as ex-President Teddy Roosevelt made a whistle-stop at the Michigan Central Railroad Depot in February during a nation­ wide speaking tour. A Republican, Teddy has completed his final presidential term in 1909 and was contemplating can­ didacy as a third-party leader. The following year, he conducted his “Bull Moose” campaign, split the Republican party, and handed an easy victoiy to Democrat Woodrow Wilson. Ornate hats were typical of the era and in this 1911 photo at Putnam Park, a profusion of styles are seen.

Main St., Vermontville Ph. 726-0569 as served both rural and city churches. The largest congregation he pastored was in East Detroit. Although he has been in the ministry for the past thirty years, Putnam did not start out with that profession as his goal in life. Born in Owosso, he studied tool and die making at General Motors Technical Institute in Flint following graduation from high school. His first employment at the Bendix Corporation was interrupted by World War II and a 3-year stint with the U.S. Navy in the South Pacific. Following the war, he attended North Central College in Naperville, Illinois, to earn his bachelor of arts degree in English in 1949. With subsequent studies at the Evangelical Theological Seminary there he obtained his master of divinity degree. Since that time, he has also done graduate work in counseling and guidance at Andrews University at Berrien Springs. In addition to his work in the Lions Club, Putnam has also held positions in Parent­ Teacher organizations; Crippled Childrens Association of Lenawee County; and for five years served as chairman of the United Methodist Conference Commission on Archives and History. While residing in East Detroit, he was honored with an award form the mayor for outstanding service to the community, particularly for his work with the public school systems. Putnam said he hopes the local Lions club may un­ dertake some project “specifically for Nashville”. Lions Clubs throughout the state are active in sup­ porting the Sightmobile Program; the Welcome Home for the Blind in Grand Rapids; the Leader Dogs for the Blind training center in Rochester; Sight Conservation; arid the Michigan Eye Bank program. Putnam suggested eye-testing arid purchasing glasses for lowincome individuals as a possible project for the Nashville club. “We could expand the sight program on a local level,” he commented. Rev. Putnam has six grown children and four grandchildren. His hobbies include reading, sports, and travel. Village Council happenings from frontbids would be left in the spring for a parking area west of the Main Street stores. Ray Hinckley, head of the Riverside Recreational Development eveopmen Corp., orp.,avse advised the council that paving of the village lot will not be inin­ cluded in the Land and' Water Conservation grant currently being sought by tthe RRDC for development of an adjacent recreational area. The grant covers parking for recreational purposes only, not business development, he explained. Students from Mrs. Carpenter's drama class at Maple Valley High School presented an original skit, at Thursday’s Sugaring-Off Program, based on an actual incident that occured in early Vermontville history. The photo depicts a scene when the late Rev. Sylvester Cochrane was apologizing to his parishioners when he discovered that he had gone out to gather maple syrup on the Sabbath, thinking by mistake that it was a work day. The mistake caused much distress among his parishioners, as the story goes. A crowd filled the basement qf the First Congregational Church Thursday evening to par­ ticipate in the annual “Sugaring-Off Program,” sponsored by the Ver­ montville Historical Society. Each person, poised with a small bowl and a spoon, took part in the tradition of making maple candy from hot maple syrup which had been prepared by Mrs. Carl (Fern) Gearhart. In the process, the syrup is heated to a temperature of 236 degrees then allowed to cool down to 150. At that point Mrs. Gearhart and her assistants circulated among the participants and poured the syprup into individual bowls to be stired and stired and stired until it rned to a smooth candy consistency. The mixture then was dropped by spoonfuls onto foil to finalize making bite­ sized pieces of candy. Mrs. Gearhart also demonstrated making maple sugar from syrup and used maple leaf molds to make an interesting-looking product.

The original skit, prepared by the drama class, was based on an actual incident that occured in Vermontville in 1838. The skit portrayed how the late Rev. Sylvester Cocrane had mistakenly gone out to gather maple syrup on the Sabbath which caused considerable distress among his parishioners and and to himself once he found out that it was not a Work day. Members of the cast in­ cluded Dennis Cook; David Cook, Cheryl McClure, Cathy Hummel, Cathy Robinson, Mike Gann, Nancy Wolever, and Dawn Wells.

Wednesday, February 28. 1979 — Page 10 Maplewood third grade class compiles scrapbook of Vermontville history — Students in Mrs. Linda Andres’ third grade class are taking a closer look at what’s downtown in Vermontville these days. As a class project, the students are compiling a scrapbook on the history of Vermontville and its businesses. They are gathering the history of the village by collecting their information first-hand through interviews with people. For this project, Mrs. Andres has been taking several students at a time, during her lunch or free-time periods, to a local business. The children prepare their questions in advance and conduct the interviews themselves. Part of each page in the scrapbook also includes a penciled sketch of the business or building the students had visited. When the students return to the classroom, they write an article based on the in­ formation of the interview and then recheck the ac­ curacy of their story with the source “so we won’t get in trouble,” as one child put it when three of the students, representing the class, displayed the scrapbook at the annual Sugaring-Off Program Thursday. Mrs. Andres has taken photographs to supplement the illustrations for the scrapbook. Each page of the booklet will be laminated and when the project is finished it will have a wooden cover with a maple leaf disign burned into the wood. The scrapbook will be displayed for public viewing at the village museum during Maple Syrup Festival Weekend. The class has about 10 more places to visit before completing the project. Mrs. Andres said the children have really enjoyed the interviewing.“That’s been a real experience for them.

"You Can See The Difference” Sp urina... planning tomorrow with research today Farmers Feed Service Three students in Mrs. Linda Andres' third grade class at Maplewood Elementary School represented their class in a presentation of their project, "Our Scrapbook of Vermontville,” during the annual Sugaring-Off Program Thursday evening. Those who participated are shown working on the scrapbook which features many of the old buildings and present businesses in the village. From left are Rob Cook; Tim Morris, Mrs. Andres and Tim Hull. (Maple Valley News Photos) The project, she said, has given them a greater ap­ preciation of their surroundings and “they’ve taken a greater notice of downtown.” So far the students have learned that the building which houses the- Ver­ montville Hardware is “one of our town’s oldest buildings.” And a page about Jack’s Standard Station says, it “is a reminder of the -past because he still pumps your gas, washes the windows... ” Another page tells about the post office: “Mr. Frith has been the Postmaster since 1967. The present post office was built in 1962. There were two other buildings on the site before the Post Office — the creamery and a bakery. “The bakery burned down in the ‘40’s. The new Post Office building is the only building ever built for the Post Office in Vermontville. “The first postmaster was Dewey Robinson. The Post Office was in his house oh West Main Street,” the book says. When the class scrapbook project is completed, each child will make his own book which will be displayed in the room during Michigan Week when students also will present a play related to Vermontville history.

Eight area police units and over a dozen officers, were involved before the incident ended. About 10 p.m. Friday, Chief Kendal Wilcox of the local department received a radio report that an Eaton County Sheriffs Department unit was in pursuit of a speeding car headed west on Nashville Highway near the Ionia Road intersection. Eaton County requested assistance from Nashville in blocking the driver, k Wilcox attempted to in­ tercept the vehicle on Reed Street, near State, but, ac­ cording to authorities, the dijver evaded the Nashville blockade. Both the Eaton County unit and Chief Wilcox continued Football Lions meet the Maple Valley basketball LionsLast Thursday the Detroit Lions Football Team arrived to play a game of basketball against the Maple Valley Alumni. Detroit’s team consisted of eight men: David Hill, J.D. Hill, Gary Danielson, Paul Naumoff, Levi Johnson, Horace King, Dexter Bussey, and James Hunter. High scorer for the Lions was James Hunter with 30 points. Next was J.D. Hill with 22, then Levi Johnson with 20. The Alumni consisted of 15 players: Mike and Steve Hamilton, Mike Fox, Mike Tefft, Duane McDonald, Mark and Pete Benton, Dare Halsey, Robert and Kevin Rost, Cart and Jan Benedict, Tony Phenix, Mike Meade, and Merle Martin. High scorer for the Alumni was Robert Rost with 18 points. Next was Tony Phenix with 15, then Pete Benton with 12. At half time the Alumin lead Detroit 53-44. During half time, the Lions signed autographs for 15 minutes. They then warmed up and the second half began, but (in nd way resembled the first half) by the end of the game, the Detroit Lions had 108 points to the Alumni’s 97. With 12 seconds left in the game, Danielson called a time out and booth benches emptied. The ball was placed at midcourt; the Alumni formed a defensive align­ ment and the Lions went into on offensive haddle. They then went into a field goal kicking alignment.* The ball was snapped and Danielson kicked the basketball. There was a penalty called which was off sides against the Alumni. The penalty was declined, -but then, before anything else could happen, there was anillegal for­ mation called by Danielson, agianst the Alumni for having “too many white guys on the court”. They lined up for another try; only this time Danielson was holding the ball. There was a fake kick and J.D. Hill went around the end, received a pass, and scored the last two points of the game. The style of play used by the Lions was comical in that they included the referees, trick shots, and fans from the audience. The Maple Valley Athletic Boosters would like to thank everyone for their help and for coming to this rather novel event. to pursue the fleeing auto as it sped south on M-66 at speeds reported to be over 90 miles per hour. In the meantime, Barry County and Eaton County Sheriffs Departments were carrying on rapid radio transmission, keeping track of the chase and requesting Calhoun County law en­ forcement agencies to send police units north to in­ tercept the speeding car. However, about eight miles south of Nashville, the driver turned west on Lacey Road. The Eaton County and Nashville police continued the chase, still “hot on his trail.” About a mile-and-a-half west of Lacey the driver, according to authorities, pulled into a short driveway near a residence and ditched his car, vaulted a farm gate and fled on foot across the open fields. Other police units, dispatched from various locations during the chase, soon converged on the scene to aid the Eaton County and Nashville units. A cordon was established around the area by police units blocking roads running into the vicinity to deter the possibility of the suspect hitching a ride with an un­ suspecting motorist Canine tracking units were brought in and, within twoand-a-half hours of the time the chase began, the suspect was in police custody. On the scene were police units from Bedford; Prairieville Township; two from the Barry County Sheriff's Department; two from Eaton County; two from the Michigan State Police post, and the Nash­ ville unit. One Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, cruiser, responding to the call for help, became disabled enroute when it developed engine trouble. According to Eaton County Sheriff’s Department of­ ficials, the subject, a 21 year old Vermontville man, is expected to face arraign­ ment Monday in 56th District Court in Charlotte on charges of driving while his license was suspended, reckless driving, and fleeing and eluding a police officer. Neighborhood Watch Program to be implemented in the Vermontville area soonAt a meeting of the Ver­ montville Village Council, citizens, and Eaton County Sheriffs Officers, it was decided that a “Neigh­ borhood Watch Program” should be started in the Village as a result of continuing problems that have plaqued our Community. Chairpersons to head the forming of this program are Mr. and Mrs. Harold O’Dell of the Sugar Hut Cafe. The purpose ofa March 8th meeting is to set up the organization and to make our citizens aware of the methods that will be used, etc. Mr. Stockenhuer and Mr. Pat Dotson of our “Crime Prevention Unit” will be there to help plan this program. We urge the Public to attend to make themselves aware of these problems and as concerned citizens to help in their solutions. The March 8th meeting will be held at 7 p.m. in the Sugar Hut Cafe Vermontville girl scouts take on operation clean-sweep" at historical opera house- Vermontville area girl scouts spent a recent Saturday at the Vermontville Opera House renovating the woodwork in the old structure as part of the community's restoration project. This group, which was part of approximately 30 scouts and their mothers were (from left): Nicki Tyler of Troop No. 153, Cheryl McClure of Troop No. 108, Michelle Trowbridge of Troop No. 205, Jody Aiken of Troop No. 244, and Linda Schippel of Troop No. 313. The girls used an old-time cleaning agent obtained from a long-time village resident which contained equal parts of turpentine, boiled linseed oil, and cider vinegar. Over 30 Vermontville Girl Scouts and several adults got out their polishing cloths and cleaners on a recent Saturday to tackle their part of a cumniunity cleaning project at the historical Vermontville Opera House. “Operation Cleansweep’’ is the title-of spring cleaning projects adopted by both the Michigan Capitol Girl Scout Council and Michigan United Conservation Clubs, and the local Vermontville scouts got an early start with their job of tackling the dirt, grime, and clutter inside the Opera House. The scouts, along with with two other groups, are at­ tempting to prepare the old building for community use again. Lately, the Opera House only has been used for township elections, but with its big stage area, good smooth floor, and ticket window, it could be put to many other uses as in the past. With help from the Ver­ montville Historical Society, Drift Skippers Snowmobile Club and the Girl Scouts, the building will soon be func­ tional again. Those who are interested in renovating the structure for more extensive community use are hoping that more local organizations will volunteer their help in the total project too. During the recent cleaning session, xthe scouts and adults polished the wain­ scoting woodwork and washed windows in the Opera House. The girs used an old-time polish for the woodwork obtained from a long-time village resident. The polish contained equal parts of turpentine, boiled linseed oil, and cider vinegar. Scouts who participated in the clean-up were Linda Schippel, Audrey Dumont, Susan Lightner, Evett Nichols, Tina Schriver, Kelly Bachelder, Deana Hampton, Dawn Hampton, Billie Nichols, Jodi Aiken, Kristen Royston, Kerri Yeadon, Betsy Lightner, Julie Bogart, Jenny Fisher, Chris Gardner, Michelle Trowbridge, Cathy Trumble, Wendy Wyskowski, Cheryl McClure, Amy Youngs, Vicky Swift, Nicki Tyler, Melissa Strong, Sue Strong, Tammy Rugg, Janie Schippel, Marie Trowbridge, Bobbie Butcher’, and Margorie Schippel. At present, the Opera House contains,many of the old original theater seats which are showing the wear and tear of much use, but because they are the original seats they will be saved for possible future restoration. One hundred new folding chairs have been purchased from the profits from the craft show at the Maple Syrup Festival and are expected to arrive soon. �The Maple Valley Newt, Nashville, Wednesday, March 7,1979 — Page 2 Nashville News With an ominous roar giving only brief warning, great chunks of ice slid off village roofs during last week’s war­ ming trend. In some cases, the resulting crash broke win­ dows below as ea vestroughs were torn away at a few homes. Fortunately no one was injured in the downfall. The hazard lessened considerably after last week, but residents should keep a careful watch* until melting is complete. Small children, dogs and cats are especially vulnerable as they may linger while passing through doorways under iceburdened eaves. George B. Dean, who suffered a serious arm injury in a nasty spill on the ice last month, is still carrying his arm in a sling. Though he will be 95 in May, George is getting out every day and progressing rapidly,” he reports. Mrs. Rena Dawson, of Nashville, mother of Earl Blake, is confined at Leila Hospital in Battle Creek. She had been hospitalized over a week at this writing. Mrs. Donald (Loretta) Pixley of Thornapple Lake Road will entertain the United Methodist Women for a 9 a.m. gathering at her home Wednesday morning, March 7th. Mrs. Will (Beth) Suntken of Nashville will provide the program, “Supportive Community.” Monday, March 12th, Mrs. Adah Steele of Nashville will entertain the Edith Parks Circle of the United Methodist Church at her home for a 1:00 p.m.' meeting. Refreshments will be served. The UMC Rebecca Circle will meet that evening, at 7:30 p.m., at the church Community House. All four members of Nashville’s Department of Public Works crew are taking training of various sorts this month. Last Thursday and Friday, Arden Schantz and Tim Smith attended an “Inspector’s Workshop” in Grand Rapids. The sessions, held at the Hoffman House there, were sponsored by the Southern Michigan Public Works Forum and trained the men for inspection duties which will be necessary when Nashville’s proposed sewer project gets underway. Starting this week Tuesday, Leon Frith, DPW Supervisor, will begin a 3-day “lagoon school”, sponsored by the state’s Depart­ ment ofNatural Resources, at Gull Lake. Leon’s schooling is also related to the proposed sewer project. The third week of March, Larry Corkwell will be at Michigan State University in East Lansing for a week-long basic lab course, where he will receive training required toward earning his Sewer Operator’s license. Larry’s classes are also sponsored by the Michigan DNR. Last Monday’s eclipse of the sun darkened the sky at mid­ day to an unnatural shade. Approximately 80 percent of the sun was blocked by the moon. Since the next eclipse in North America is not expected for another 39 years, it was the last such phenomena many of us will see. The last Sunday in February marked the final Family Month event for the Nashville Baptist Church, with honors going to various grandparents in attendance at morning worship.

Wayne also tapped the first week of March last year and was about the first in the area to start, despite the hinderance of bitter cold and high snowbanks which hampered the 1978 season. Ice and snow are a problem again this year, reports Mrs. Pennock, but there has been a “fair run” so far. The Pennocks are always on hand at Vermontville’s Syrup Festival to display and sell their sweet maple produce. No doubt about it—March came in like a lamb. That must mean the lion is hiding nearby. Keep your snow shovels handy! Clare Wright of Nashville was featured in several news stories and photos lately as he participated in a recent fiddlers’Jamboree in Hastings. Over thirty musicians per­ formed during the festival sponsored by, the Original Michigan Fiddlers Association in the Community Building at the Barry County Fairgrounds.

A recent letter from Don Hinderliter, a former village resident now of Battle Creek, brightened our day. Don, popular editor and publisher of The Nashville News from 1941 to 1956, subscribes to the Maple Valley News and says he has been enjoying the Nashville News column for some time. “It is good to read about people I remember fondly, and would not otherwise know about,” Don wrote. It’s a pleasure to write for folks like Don, and we hope in some small way it repays him for his “Backstreet Barometer” and other writings which brought joy to Nashville readers for many years. Incidentally, Don’s letter furnished some interesting remembrances of the old Nashville News office which aided a “Memories” feature already outlined for this week’s issue. How’s that for perfect timing!

Twenty-six days of sunshine, out of 27 days of vacation, blessed a recent California journey taken by Mr. and Mrs. Ben (Thelma) Mason of Mason Road. They were ac­ companied on the trip by Thelma’s mother,, Mrs. Bertie Johnson. First south to Memphis, then west to Phoenix and San Diego, was their route. At Phoneix they called on Ben’s parents, John and Ethel Mason, and saw other relatives in Arizona. In California, they visited Thelma’s son, Michael London, a former local resident now of San Diego, and also had an opportunity to see son Riley London, stationed with the U.S. Marine Corp, at Camp Pendleton, California. During their travels, the Masons only used their windshield wipers about 15 minutes, Thelma reports. Truly beautiful weather, indeed. Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville has been under the weather lately, suffering with bronchitis, and was confined at home for five days. Last week’s patching of pot holes on Reed Street by the village DPW crew was much appreciated by local motorists who have become very adept at dodging the hazardous spots. The recent warm spell allowed the crew to spread two loads of hot patch on various village streets suffering from winter damage.

ByFwnM5reen Putnam Library Receives Historic “Red Cross” Books In honor of Red Cross Month, the Barry County Chapter of the national organization has donated three historic books about the Red Cross to the Putnam Public Library in Nashville. Don Brehm (on right), chairman of the Barry County Chapter of the American Red cross, makes the book presentation to Librarian LaDuska Sheldon. She said the books contain valuable resource material and will be kept as reference books in the library. Mrs. Sheldon said everyone is welcome to use the editions and that the library is pleased to add the books to its collection. "Anyone interested in history should be especially pleased because these are specialized books." One of the books is titled "The American National Red Cross...Its Origin, Purposes, and Service." It was published in 1924 and contains many .illustrations. The author is Sarah Elizabeth Pickett. The other two donated books were written by Ernest Bricknell, late vice chairman of insular and foreign operations of Red Cross. The titles are "In War's Wake 1914-1915" (published in 1936) which recounts the story of the Rockefeller Foundation and the American Red Cross joining in the civilian relief effort; and "With The Red Cross in Europe 1917-1922" (published in 1938). They are part of a three-part series of his experiences taken from his personal notes, diaries, and other records. The Barry County Chapter also presented copies of the same three books to the Hastings Public Library. A March Campaign Drive to raise *3,800 is in full swing now throughout the county to "Keep Red Cross Ready."

Wednesday, March 7, 1979 — Page 4 Mock election gives Kellogg School students a first hand view of the political processEver hear of two political parties called the Coffin Kickers and the Vampires? Well, at Nashville’s Kellogg School last week, the Coffin Kickers and the Vampires vied to see which political party could capture the most votes in a mock election. The event was planned by sixth grade teacher Steve Slag to give students an opportunity to 'experience the political processes of choosing elected officials. For the mock election, students selected the name of Transylavania for the mythical town where the election would take place. Students also decided upon the names of the two political parties and which governmental offices to fill in the election. The mock election was a first time event for the school and the entire student body had an opportunity to participate by going through the proper procedures of an actual simulated election. A drive for voter registrations was held prior to the mock-election Friday. Here Mike Barnhart is shown registering for the election with assistance from Lynette Williams (left) and Sarah Curtis. Patty Sprague casts her ballot in the mock-election. A total of 126 registered to vote (including teachers and other employees). Posters were ifiade by the students to serve as election notices and a voter registration drive was held resulting in 126 eligible voters including the faculty and other members of the school staff. Eight candidates, two from each of the makebelieve political parties, were selected to run for the four offices in the mock election. Candidates for the Vampires were Kyle Christopher who ran for mayor; Chuck Elliston, sheriff; Valerie Bell, secretary-treasurer; and Sara Curtis, judge. The Coffin Kickers slate included Daniel Lykins, candidate for mayor; Tim Symonds, sheriff; Sheila Staskus, secretarytreasurer; and Fred Wagner, judge. Before the election, the candidates each had an opportunity to give cam­ paign spiels at an assembly of the student body. > Prior to the election, eight independent polls were taken to try to estimate the out­ come of the election so each party could find its weaknesses and know if they should use persuasion to try to swing voters to their side. On the day of the voting, students took turns checking to verify that potential voters were registered before they were allowed to cast ballots. Two students even voted by absentee ballots because they knew that they would be absent that day. Students enthusiastically participated in the election and gained a better insight into how the wheels of the political process turn. The event supplemented a social studies unit which in­ troduced students to dif­ ferent types of government like a Republic. On Friday, mock election day, 110 votes were cast from a possible 126 registered voters. Dan Lykins was elected mayor, Chuck Elliston, sheriff; Valerie Bell, secretary-treasurer; and Sarah Curtis, judge. Tom Leinhart is set to deposit his ballot into the ballot box. Students took turns working at "the polls" and Heidi Braden (left) is shown as she performs her job of folding the ballots with Valerie Bell whose job was handing out the ballots to registered voters. Sixth grade teacher Steve Slag, who organized the event, looks on in the background. Daniel Lykins, candidate for mayor in Kellogg's mock-election and member of the Coffin Kickers political party, gives his campaign speech before the entire student body last week. All of the candidates (shown seated in the photo) had a chance to give campaign spiels at the assembly. From left are: Kyle Christopher,, Vampire candidate for mayor; Chuck Christopher, Vampire candidate for sheriff; Valerie Bell, Vampire candidate for secretary; Sarah Curtis, Vampire candidate for judge; Robert Keener, who introduced the Vampire candidates; Lynette Williams, who introduced some of the Coffin Kickers' (CK) candidates: Duska Morawski, a Coffin Kickers' party leader; Fred Wagner, CK candidate for judge; Sheila Staskus, CK candidate for secretary; and Tim Symonds, CK candidate for sheriff.

By Susan Hinckley More than a century ago, a slighty-built but fiery young lad of 19 passed through Nashville, liked what he saw of the newly-incorporated village, and tarried long enough to start a tradition of weekly news that continues today. In October 1873, Orno Strong published the first issue of the Nashville News, forerunner of the presentday Maple Valley News. Strong, who tipped the scales at only 130 pounds, wrote in a colorful but blunt style that brought him widespread praise and physical harassment in his 15-year tenure as editor and publisher of the News. “The best and most suc­ cessful manager of a country newspaper in the whole state of Michigan is Orno Strong of Nashville,” reported the Eaton Rapids Journal in 1880. “In six yeas he has increased the circulation of his paper, the News, from 240 to 1248 ...” The Bellevue Gazette agreed: “Brother Strong is making a good paper and one that is making its way to the families all over Barry County. . . Our neighbor is simply winning success by deserving it.” And, accolades from the Charlotte Tribune the same year: “The News is one of the best country papers published in Michigan and bears the impress of success Research produces in every issue. It is a credit site of the old Nashville to the genius and energy of News office on Maple Street. its editor, Orno Strong, and a Orno Strong was responsible splendid advertisement of for having a two-room frame the thrift and enterprise of schoolhouse transported the village which sustains from the present-day Kellogg School site to Maple it.” Even the Vermontville Street for use as a news Hawk offered tenuous praise ^-office.

I lost it that same winter, but discovered it outdoors after the snow melted in the spring. When I picked up the watch and wound it, it began working - much to my sur­ prise,” he adds. Feighner sold the paper to A.B. McClure in 1928. He operated it for three years, then sold it to Willard and Mary. Gloster. They published the paper through ten lean depression years before selling it to Hinderliter in 1941. Well-known and - colorful publishers notwithstanding, the real “‘Mr. Nashville News” was the late C.O. “Ab” Mason. Ab started working for Feighner the summer of 1908 and con­ tinued with the News in various capacities until shortly before his death in 1956. He was considered a “first class all-around printer” by both Feighner and his successors and “also the most conscientious and faithful helper a publisher could hope to find,” wrote Hinderliter just prior to Ab’s death. During his 48 years with the News he ran the back room for four different publishers and at Ab’s death Hinderliter wrote of him: “He was more intelligent, better read, and better versed in every phase of the newspaper business than hundreds of individuals who smugly call themselves newspaper edi-tors. ” Ab, more than any Other in­ dividual, had been responsible for the continued publication of Nashville’s newspaper, Hinderliter said, and he felt much of the fun and flavor of running a newspaper ended with Ab’s death. Shortly thereafter Hinderliter sold the paper to John and Amy Boughton of Adrian. The Boughtons later acquired the, Vermontville Echo, changed the name of the combined paper to the Maple Valley News and in 1975 sold it to J-Ad Graphics, Inc. of Hastings. But today, each weekly issue of the News, keeps alive Orno Strong’s 1873 dream of a newspaper for Nashville, - a town he described then as “a flourishing city on the banks of the Thornapple where now 1,000 call their home.” Friends” plan two tours of Putnam LibraryBy Susan Hinckley children’s fears and resulted in increased library usage by A tour of Putnam Public them, she explained. “Public Library will highlight the schools are very supportive March and April meetings of of similar projects which Nashville’s newly-formed “Friends of the Library.” may include lectures and various other educational Plans for the tour, designed presentations sponsored by for persons interested in ‘Friends of the Library’,” learning more about the Mrs. Keitzmann told the library and the organization, group.

Lisa, daughter of Max and Arlene Endsley of Evart Road in Nashville, is the “good citizen" from Mrs. Pam Hunt’s third grade class at Fuller Street School. Mrs. Hunt said Lisa was chosen for citizen of the week because “she displays good school behavior, works hard on all her school assign­ ments, enjoys being with other people and having fun, and shows good sport­ smanship in game activities. She takes an active interest in what we do in school and likes to participate." Eight-year old Lisa will celebrate her next birthday March 31. Her favorite subject is math with gym taking a close second. She likes to play softball, enjoys swimming, and hopes to learn how to play tennis this summer. Painting-bynumbers is another favorite activity, and she is involved in the MS Repd-a-thon. First grader Brad Ash­ craft is the citizen of the week in Mrs. Claudette Edly’s class at Fuller Street School. He is the son of Margaret and Raymond Ashcraft of S. Clark Road in Nashville. In citing Brad for the award, Mrs. Edly com­ mented that one of his “outstanding qualities-is his wholesome attitude in schoolroom related activities." She also said, “He cheerfully carries out his class duties with great pride and relates well with his peers.” Brad, 7, likes to roller skate, collect rocks, and told his class that “I like to run to keep my legs exercised. His favorite school subject is reading. Carol Lamie, a fifth grader in Mr. Manuel Smith's room at Kellogg School, has been named for the citizenship award from her class. Carol, 10, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Lamie of Main Street in Nashville. Mr. Smith said Carol’s traits of an outstanding citizen are that she “is always co-operative, courteous, and friendly. She is always willing to help out around the classroom." Her favorite subjects in school are reading and math. Other interests Carol enjoys are roller skating and writing stories.

Main 726-0569 — VERMONTVILLE — | of farmers, to modify a poet’s phrase, but this year farmers who raise cash crops are still trying to decide what to plant. Outlook for our main cash crop, corn, is sluggish. Burdened by two hugh crop yields in a row, the carryover of corn appears to be enough to hold prices down around or below the loan level. Yet, given a mediocre crop year and increased foreign exports or a sudden switch to alcohol for energy fuels, we could see as-much as a dollar a bushel increase in corn prices. Wishful thinking? Probably, but the potential is there. The white bean outlook is even more obscure. A referendum vote is now being taken to see whether or not farmers want a Michigan Bean Commission. Don’t forget to vpte on this issue. If you sold beans in 1978, not whether you grew them, is the determination if you can vote or not. A “yes” vote is a vote to end the Bean Commission. If you need a ballot, they are available at the Extension office. With or without the Bean Commission, the prices received by farmers will depend on total supply raised this year and that’s anybodys guess. A new cash crop may be available for our area this year. There will be a market for oil-seed sunflowers this year. Two companies will be lookingg for acreage g. in 1979. The return from sunflowers could be better than corn but a little less than soybeans if present prices continue. With spring upon us, farmers will have to be deciding quickly where they are heading. But right now frustration is the word. Need invitations? See the large selection at The Reminder Office. Senator Richard Allen The Senate Appropriations Committee recently spent two days listening to a number of economists from Michigan’s private cor­ porations and public universities. We got some interesting advice. For instance, the President of Bendix Cor­ poration made a strong case against Michigan joining other states that have already passed resolutions calling for a national con­ stitutional convention to consider an amendment requiring a balanced federal budget. I thought businessmen were conservative and would favor balancing the budget, didn’t you? Not so of. Bendix’s President. He feels that there are Mmes when reducing expenditures or raising taxes to the extent necessary to balance the budget would'be extremely detrimental to the economy. -The issue is more complex than it sounds on the surface-with our nation’s, and to some extent the world’s, money supply tied somewhat to out national debt.

And, while part of our inflation is no doubt a result of federal* deficits, there is widespread agreement that this is not the major course. high energy costs stand at the top of the list of causes of current inflation in two ways. First, of course, oil and energy are basic components of most everything we buy and use and, thus, contribute to their costs. Secondly, our national unwillingness to limit oil imports by price, rationing or other methods has resulted in a massive dollar outlfow and a depreciation in its value. Thus, everything we import-from coffee to tincosts more and adds to in­ flation. Most of the testimony at these sessions was designed to aid us in estimating Michigan’s economic future. Why is this so important to our Appropriations Com­ mittee? Because a correct estimation of the near-term future is vital to our creating a balanced state budget. We must estimate (guess at?) the overall national economy, but with particular emphasis on Michigan. Local distortions have great effects. For instance, a bad year for Chrysler has significant effects on our budget. It decreases our tax revenues, of course, but even more, it increases our costs. Welfare rolls go up and so do enrollments at Wayne State University. (It’s been in­ teresting to me that college enrollment relates inversely to job availability-no job, well, I might as well go to college.) When you stop to realize how far ahead we budget, it is amazing we come as close to balancing as we do. The budget we are working on now runs from October 1, 1979 to September 30, 1980. One optimistic note from our hearings. Michigan’s economy has been doing well compared to the nation’s for the past three years. One surprising note. Most of the economists have listed the Single Business Tax Xwhich replaced Michigan’s previous business taxes) as one of the reasons for Michigan’s better business climate.

(3-7) Nashville News continued— Correction on the “hats” photo in last week’s “Memories” story: the Walrath girl should have been identified as Leah Walrath. (She had a sister named Ilah). Leah is now Mrs. Partridge, lives in Flint, and enjoys receiving the Maple Vallpy Npws each week. We. received several phone calls clarifying the identity, but Mrs. Helen Hecker was the first call and said she never remembers Leah wearing a hat (and in the photo, she has none, though surrounded by friends wearing bountiful creations.) Helen chummed with some of the young ladies in the picture, though most were older than she. Helen said she also had a monstrous-sized hat, so huge she had to turn sideways to pass through a doorway when wearing it. Leah, incidentally, was a daughter of the late Hiram Walrath, a well-known community resident in­ strumental in directing an early village band that performed weekly concerts in Putnam Park. The Walraths lived for 60 years in the house presently occupied by the Jack Dawsons. Thanks to all those who called with information on the “Memories” story. Mrs. Margaret Sackett of Nashville enjoyed a recent Sunday visit from her niece and her husband, Virginia and Don Randolph of Lansing. Mrs. Edith Flannery was in Battle Creek Sunday to call on her sister, Mrs. Norabelle MacKenzie, at Level Park. Bill Jenkins, a former Nashville resident now Fenton, underwent open heart surgery last week at St. Mary’s Hospital in Flint, and is doing well at this report. Bill is a brother to Mrs. Donald (Phyllis) Skedgell and Mrs. Herbert (Ada) Yaudes, both of Nashville, and is a schoolteacher at Fenton. Senior citizens, 60 years of age or older, in the Nashville community are invited to join the Senior Citizens Nutrition Site program, advises site supervisor Diedra Sprinkle. There are presently some openings in the nutrition program which provides weekday noon meals and transportation to and from the site for local senior citizens. The only requirement is that interested seniors stop in at the Masonic Temple site to register with Mrs. Sprinkle if they are in­ terested in joining the program. Mrs. Sprinkle also reminds all senior citizens in the community that special events at the site are open to them, even if they are not members of the nutrition program. Various speakers and programs are featured each Monday following noon meal, and Mrs. Sprinkle credits Mrs. Verna Frederick for turning up some very interesting and in­ formative programs each week, which have been enjoyed by all those in attendance. Diebra has expressed thanks to Verna on behalf of all the Nashville Site Senior Citizens for her exceptional accomplishment. Mrs. Edna Gibbons of Nashville wishes to report that the Nashville Site Senior Citizens are now enjoying tran­ sportation in a new 12-passenger bus and appreciate their driver, Wayne Tolliver of Hastings, who faithfully picks them up and delivers them safely home each day. Mrs. Gibbons has been keeping a large scrapbook on all site ac­ tivities and enjoys clipping news items about their activities to add to her growing book.

March 7,1979 — Page 11 Feeding and attracting wildlife by Warren J. Cook, County Extension Director w £ W'%. x s S- RftMUMlMW A^winter like this year’s, with its heavy snowfall and bitter cold, means wildlife must struggle to survive. You can help by turning your backyard into a wildlife sanctuary. ■ “Wildlife need food, cover and water to survive. If you provide this habitat, you will see how wild animals live, behave, reproduce and die, and you will learn how wildlife depend on habitat for survival,” says Glenn R. Dudderar, Extension wildlife specialist at Michigan State University. Attract wildlife to your backyard by supplying these three essentials: food, cover and water. One way you can provide food is by planting a variety of grasses, flowers, shrubs and trees. But you don’t really need to plant anything. If you just leave a part of your backyard alone, food-producing ducing grasses, weeds and flowers will gradually grow there.. These same areas also provide cover for animals. This cover provides protection from the elements and places to rest and raise young. You can also sup­ plement existing cover by building nesting boxes and houses. Water aermus must usuay usually bee provided artifically. Bird baths, which come in a wide variety of forms, will do the job well. You can’t very well plant for food and cover right now. But you can set up feeding stations for birds. Many types and styles of feeders are available. Suet, seed cakes, peanut butter, sunflower seeds, fruits and various grains all make good food. Birds require’grit to digest food, so you might want to provide coarse sand or ground-up clam or oyster shells, too. Feeders attract not only birds, but also small mammals like rabbits and squirrels. You can also at­ tract these mammals by putting out blocks or rock salt. The important thing to remember when you are Mr. and Mrs. Rex Pennington, 3155 Jordan Rd., Freeport are proud to announce the engagement of their daughter Rachel Lynn, to Robert David Curtis Nashville, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Curtis.

Robert is a 1976 graduate of Maple Valley High School and is now farming with his father outside Nashville. The wedding date is set for July 21,1979.

That subcommittee had initiated the $4.2 million fund cut enacted into law last summer, a cut which prohibited the Treasury Department’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (BATF) from spending any funds to im|plement the computerized records scheme in the current budget.

Girl Scouts are observing the 67th anniversary of the national organization's founding this week, and the proclamation read by Christiansen states "we in Nashville join Girl Scouts in recognizing the potential in all children, as well as the need to provide opportunities for each child to find and express his (her) own special talent or gift." In proclaiming Girl Scout Week, the proclamation calls upon "all citizens of Nashville to give their continued interest, enthusiasm, and cooper Jtion to the Girl Scouts through 1979 and to support them so that more girls and the community may enjoy its benefits." ■ \ (Maple Valley News photo) the Maple Valley News.

Thursday night I attended a lecture on the “Neigh­ borhood Watch Program” at the Sugar Hut Cafe. The program involves involvement. We have a problem with quite a few things. One is stray dogs. Please keep your dog under control. Either keep him tied up or in a fenced-in area. If you’re walking your dog either keep him under control or better yet, on a leash. If your dog is not under control he can be picked up by the Animal Control Of­ ficer or worse yet if he is a vicious dog he can be shot. Second is hot rodders. If you see anyone speeding near your residence, take down the license plate number and report it. But don’t stop there. Sign a complaint. Without it the police can’t do anything. Third is that there is a village curfew. Children should observe this curfew and parents should try to enforce it. The curfew is 10:00 p.m. for anyone under the age of sixteen. There are now patrol of­ ficers in our area during the, prime crime times. They are during the hours of 4:00 p.m. to 3:00 a.m., Tuesday through Saturday. You can call the Crime Prevention Unit to have an officer come into your home and do a safety check. They will give you pointers on what kind of locks to use, on what kind of lighting is adequate, and more. You can also help your neighbors. Keep an eye on their house while they are on vacation or working or at school. Report anyone that you know shouldn’t be around. And follow up on it. During the lecture pamplets were handed out. One was the “Neighborhood Watch Manual”, the other was “Security Notes and Recommendations”. You can pick these pamplets up at area businesses. You can go one step fur­ ther. You can become in­ volved.

In the early morning the local firefighters were called to Davenport Road to assist the Woodland Fire Department in battling a house fire that originated in a chimney area. Damage was sustained in the attic area and the ceiling of the second story. The family had gotten out of the house safely, after the fire alarm on a smoke detector had sounded. Shortly after 3 p.m., the local fireman were again called north of town to a barn fire at the Clark Miller residence on Bayne Road. The Woodland Fire Department had first been summoned to the blaze and they called Nashville, as it was in' the NFD territory. Both departments, plus a tanker from the Hastings Fire Department, battled the flames for three hours but the barn was a total loss. Also lost were three sows and about 30 piglets, plus some equipment including two motorcycles. Heat lamps being used for the young pigs^pparently caused the fire. The back portion of the Miller residence, a cement block structure located quite close to the small barn, also sustained some damage. A back porch was burned and there was some scorching of the home, plus smoke damage. The Nashville firemen were forced to take a detour enroute to the blaze when they found Bayne Road impassable dtie to flooding from our recent thaw. The banks of the Thornapple River are rapidly being covered as the water level rises due to recent thawing. By mid-week the water had risen to Water Alley (just south of the old Riverside Feed Mill) and the spillway near the dam was overflowing. Access to the house adjacent to the river (west of the alley) was possible only by rowboat or waders. Quaker Brook has also risen considerably. Rev.

By Susan Hinckley The lessons of nature were an important part of lear­ ning for early scholars at the old Quailtrap School south of Nashville. Trout swam in a brook that meandered through the property, and watercress and wildflowers grew in profusion nearby. A flowing spring provided drinking water for a time, and once, in observance of Arbor Day, students set young maple trees along the front of the property. Now over 70 years old, the maples still stand in front of the old schoolhouse (now a private residence). In its’ heyday, the Quailtrap School (located on South Clark Road just north of the Cloverdale Road in­ tersection) was probably the best known school in Maple Grove Township. Not only was it the first public school in the township, it had a most unique name. In an era when country schools were ususally tagged with family names, a legend had evolved around the strange label assigned the school in District No. 1. “It seems that the teacher forgot to close the windows when going home after school one day and upon arriving the next school session there was a flock of quail in the building. Hence the name Quailtrap”, reports former resident and Quailtrap scholar Wayne Fuller, now of Toledo. An 1880 “History of Barry and Allegan Counties” furnished by Fuller’s cousin, Mrs. Wilma (Fuller) DeCamp of Nashville, gives a slightly different but compatible explanation. “The first schoolhouse was built on Section 25 and was known as the Quailtrap from the fact that some en-' terprising lads found it a convenient rendezvous in Unidentified young lads enjoy a game of "skip rope" in a 1926 photo of the Quailtrap School taken by teacher Helen Kinne Huwe.

The building, con­ tinues the writer, was subsequently removed and a “new and more spacious edifice substituted” on Section 24 of Maple Grove Township. At the time the book was written, the towhship had “nine framed schools” with 384 students instructed by 18 teachers, four of whom were men. Total yearly payroll for the teaching staff was $1253. Township schools were of “comfortable but but un­ pretentious proportions” and in 1880 “total resources of the township for educational purposes had reached the sum of $2080.” the report added. The Quailtrap School was a far cry from the first attempt to educate township youngsters when in 1840 Emma and Maria Mott, daughters of the prominent land-owner John Mott, started a school in their SECOND 4NNUN.

Six scholars were enrolled in the first session and the number did not increase greatly during its brief existence. By 1880 Maple, Grove Township had been divided into six whole and three fractional school districts governed by the following board of directors: William G. Brooks; A. P. Jarrard; Frank Fuller; C. R. Palmer; John Hinckley; M. H. Palmer; John Day; Y. J. Cassell Nd Henry Troyer. “There are about 32 students when I started school at the Quailtrap in 1908,” recalls Lloyd Wilcox ofNashville, who walked two miles to attend. Miss Ora Monroe was the teacher then. Wilcox remembers drinking water from the spring behind the school. some children “When some became ill, the water was suspected and for a few years drinking water was obtained from the Fuller place across the road,” he adds “but around 1912 a well was driven at the school.” Mrs. Bea (Herrington) Penfold of Nashville was also an early Quailtrap scholar and helped in the Arbor Day tree planting project. Bea started at­ tending school there in 1906 and remembers that about 1910 William Ayers was to move hired the schoolhouse to more level ground. Wilcox also remembers this move, about 150 feet to the south, but neither knows exactly what prompted the relocation. Bea also walked nearly two miles to school. “We left our lunch pails in the entryway,” she remembers “and in the wintertime our lunches would often be frozen by noon.” During lunch hour the children would also carry wood from a shed nearby to burn in the Round Oak stove used to heat the schoolhouse. > Bea also recalls the pranks of young lads. “Sometimes the boys would find leeks growing in the woods behind the school and eat them, which resulted in their being sent home for the day by the teacher because of the ofof­ fensive odor,” she reminisces. Bea remembers a favorite teacher, Johnny Bowman, who lived in Nash*n t*le Present-day Boldrey home. Bowman was an effective but popular instructor. Quaker Brook ran near the school property and a small tributary which Wilcox knew as “Kinney Creek” provided ample entertainment for the young boys who enjqyed chasing trout in the stream. “On May 1st, opening day of trout season, the place was crowded with fishermen from Battle Creek,” Wilcox recalls. Mrs. Melissa (DeBolt) Showalter of Nashville started school at the Quailtrap in 1902. She remembers a drinking water pail in the entryway and a “community dipper” used by all students. “About 1905 all the schoolchildren and their parents gathered at our home for a picnic,” Melissa relates, “It was quite an event.” As the years progressed, and more schools were added in the township, enrollment at the Quailtrap grew smaller. Mrs. Helen (Kinne) Huwe, who taught school there from 1926 to 1928, had 26 pupils. Helen boarded with the Fuller family across the road form the schoolhouse. A woodburning stove still heated the premises and an eighth-grader (high school age students continued their education in town) split kindling on his lunch hour. Water was still pumped by hand but students had in­ dividual tin drinking cups. By the early 1940’s the Quailtrap Schooll was con­ solidated with Nashville’s public school system and the historic old schoolhouse stood idle. Today, minus its’ ornate belfry, the structure serves as a private residence. But memories of the past dwell in the shade of the now-large maples, planted so many years ago by Bea Herrington and her classmates as a tribute to Arbor Day.

Speaking to the council were Bruce Cooper, engineer, and Pasty Clark, director of public information, representatives of Williams and Works Engineering firm of Grand Rapids. Mrs. Clark told the council they should provide the fullest and most correct information possible on the project so that “ballots will be cast on full information.” She explained that xall village residents should receive the same in­ formation at the same time, rather than in bits and pieces which may not be incorrect but may be incomplete, and which would hinder the public in making an informed decision on the bond referendum for the sewer project. “It’s your project, your communtiy, your money, and your system,” Cooper told the council. He suggested they form a committee of local residents as well as council members they form a committee of local residents as well as council members to decide how best to present the issue to the people. News media, public hearings, presen­ tations to civic organizations, and leaflets were various methods mentioned by Cooper as a mean to inform the public of the project. May 1st had been ten­ tatively set as the date to let bids but Cooper said that, although he could not speak for governmental agencies, he thought a time extenions would be given to allow for a vote since the village has shown intent to the EPA and DNR in pursuing the sewer system improvements. In other business, trustee John Mason and Castleton Township supervisor Justin Cooley told the council about a discussion last Wednesday between the township board and Barry County Road Commission officials on construction of a new bridge on Greggs Crossing Road.

Each dwelling unit in this zone shall have a minimum floor area of nine hundred (900) square feet of usable floor area, for each bedroom over (3) three in number an additional 100 square feet is required, exclusive of porches, garages, basements, or utility areas." —CHAPTER XVII Section 17.08 ss "d” Proposed reading of the 2nd sentence. "Such notices shall be served personally or by mail at least 15 days prior to the day of such hearing, upon the applicant, or the appellant, the Zoning Administrator, and all persons to whom any real property within three hundred (300) feet of the premises in question shall be assessed." Proposed reading 3rd sentence "such notices shall be ser­ ved personally or by regular mail, addressed to the respective owners at the address given iin the last assessment roll.” CHARLES ANDRUS, Zoning Administrator bt Nashville ____________________ 90 percent state grant is available for the proposed $200,000 project, Cooley explained, but grant funds will cover only the bridge, not new approaches or acquis tion of the necessary right-of-way. Cooley said the local cost had been estimated at $50,000. “They (county officials) would like to know if we can help them out, however, looking at it from another point of view, they’re helping us out,” Mason commented. He said the township board views the road as a potential residential growth area and that a more passable road in that area could point residents toward the Nash­ ville business community. Mason said the local share for the bridge might be a good use for some of the potential $170,000 available to the Nashville-CastletonMaple Grove governmental units under the HUD Block Grant Communtiy Development program, as explained to the council in December by Sylvia Dulaney, Barry County Grants Coordinator. (The federal HUD grant would also provide $210,000 to rehabilitate 35 homes for low-income village residents.) Cooley said Thursday the new bridge would be relocated on a site other than the present truss bridge, one of only three such bridges remaining in Barry County. Mason said the bridge is too narrow, too short, and has limited load capacity. County officials consider it to be “critical”, he reported. A second meeting on the bridge proposal will be held Thursday, March 15th, at Castleton Township Hall at 7:00 p.m. Also scheduled at Thur­ sday’s meeting were two public hearings on unrelated matters. Both were set to preceed the March 22nd village council meeting. At 6 p.m., fiv^ proposed changes to Nashville’s zoning Or­ dinance will be considered; at 6:30 p.m., proposed uses of $23,000 in federal Revenue Sharing Funds will be heard. In other discussion, implementation of a cost off living allowance for village employees was tabled and referred back to committee for negotiations with department heads and employees on possible alternative means of com­ pensation. The finance committee, headed by trustee Ted Spoelstra, will report back to the council for further action. In police business, the council accepted a $180 bid from Rick’s Auto Body for repair on the 1978 Chevrolet Nova cruiser, and also agreed to offer for the sale the department’s backup unit, a 1976 Ford.. Sharon Green, head of the police committee, said a recently proposed police work schedule, which would have allowed the chief to remain on days, was not acceptable to the police committee. “Working the different shifts (on the present rotating schedule), the officers get to see a different group of people and different problems,” Green ex­ plained. She also cited oc­ casional 3-day weekends for Good citizen of the weekCitizenship Awards this week go' to Kristina Brewer, Aaron Brewer, and Valerie Bell who have been selected by their teachers for the honors. It’s interesting to note that just by coincidence two of this week’s winners are brother and sister. Kristina Brewer, 9-yearold daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gene Brewer, has been selected to recieve the citizenship award in Mrs. Pat Hansen’s fourth grade class at Fuller Street School. Kristina of Woodland Road, Nashville, picks science as her favorite subject in school and lists social studies as second. She enjoys horseback riding, camping, and swimming and also says, “I like to collect buttons.” Kristina was active as a Bluebird in the Camp Fire Girls organization before moving to Nashville. In naming her for the citizen award, Mrs. Hansen said Kristina “is a very cooperative student. She displays all the charac­ teristics of a good citizen. She is a joy to have in the classroom.” Second grader Aaron Brewer, Kristina’s brother and the son of Gene and Judith Brewer, iss the recepient of the citizenship award in Miss Anne Drake’s class at Fuller. Music is his number one favorite subject and math is second. Aaron, 7, enjoys writing, reading and doing arts and crafts. He would like to join a summer softball team and also is looking forward to being eight years old so he can join the cub scouts. “Aaron is very deserving of this award at this time,” his teacher said. “He is very dependable, reliable, cooperative and helpful in the classroom. He handles responsibility well, and I feel he’s an outstanding good citizen,” Miss Drake said. At Kellogg Elementary, Valerie Bell has been named for the citizenship award by her sixth grade teacher, Steve Slag. Valerie, daughter of of Mr. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bell of Curtis Rd., Nashville, enjoys sports activities like baseball, soccer, volleyball, swim­ ming and skiing. She is a member of 4-H and the Good News'Club. Eleven-year-old Valerie says her favorite subjects in school are English and math. Mr. Slag said Valerie exhibits many traits of an outstanding citizen. She is ““helpful helpful to to all all classmates, classmates, friendly, respectful to adults, and dependable.” Students selected for the award each recieve a blue ribbon and a certificate of recognition for good citizenship. family activities as a reason for retaining the present work schedule. Attending Thursday’s meeting, to hear village presiden t Harold Christiansen read a proclamation designating March 11th to 17th National Girl Scout Week in Nash­ ville, were several members of Brownie Troops No. 221 and 730.

Something was cooking —a baby shower in anticipation of Mrs. Hunt's first child. And, with the help of 24 students, thre,e room mothers, and a wonderful cake-maker, the recipe for a good time turned out just beautifully. Each of Mrs. Hunt's students contributed toward buying one class present and then many still presented her with their own small gifts.

Now, HB 4011 has trimmed the expected new costs, so that present appropriations can be maintained. Most importantly, we will lie able to avoid a $30 million cut to local schools. Tax Arguments—The Court of Appeals has heard statements for and against the recent increase in vehicle gass and weight taxes. Whatever-whenever the court decides, you should buy your license plates now; refunds, if required, can be made later. Pay Raise?—Recently introduced in the House is HCR 78, which would cut the proposed civil service pay increase back to five percent from the scheduled 7 percent. This requires a two thirds majority in both houses by March 23 in order to pass. Rollback Definition—The House Taxation Committee this week is beginning work on legislation defining the secion of last fall’s Headlee Amendment which requires that local millage rates be rolled back if assessments in any one year exceed the inflation rate. It is presently unclear if the rollback must be permanent, and if it must be on the authorized or levied rate. Welfare Cuts—A new state plan for further reduction in erroneous welfare payments has been approved by the U.S. HEW Secretary. Our error rate in 1974 was about 15 percent of the total spent; that has been cut to about 8 percent. New procedures will include increased field visits and computer cross checks with income tax and tax-withholding records. No-Fault Hearings—The Senate Comrnerce Committee will soon hold hearings on revisions needed in our no-fault auto insurance law: March 15; Michigan Inn, Southfield, 7:00 p.m.; March 22, State Building, Grand Rapids, 7:00 p.m. Call ahead if you’d like to testify. Fuzzbusters Busted—The COurt of Appeals has ruled that “fuzzbusters”-radar detectors used by private motorists to detect police radar speed timers-are illegal under a state law which bans motorist possession of radio receivers with police-signal capability. School Contracts—Although the school year is now more than half over, there are still some 5 percent of Michigan school districts that have not reached contract agreements with their teachers. However, this is still about 7 percent ahead of last year’s settlement rate. ... Stamp Contest—The DNR is now conducting its first annual contest to select the design for the 1980 Michigan Trout Stamp. There are no money prizes; entrants must be at least 18. For details write the DNR Fisheries Division, Box 30028, Lansing 48909. Deadline is May 1. CASTLETON TOWNSHIP — ANNUAL MEETING — Notice is hereby given that the annual Township meeting of Castleton Township, Barry County, Mich, will be held at the Township Hall on SATURDAY, MARCH 31, 1979 at 3:00 p.m. At such time in addition to other regular business, the proposed budget shall be submitted for considera­ tion.

The 4-H Special Riding Program began in Eaton County in 1978. Forty youngsters from the Eaton Intermediate School District took summer riding lessons from specially trained riding instructors. Instructors Nancy Dutrieux from Eaton Rapids and Pat Harkin from East Lansing taught students with physical, mental, and emotional handicaps. Students began learning to mount and dismount, and to control their horses during riding practice, exercise and game sessions. Through the hor­ seback riding, students improved their coordination, balance, posture and self­ confidence This year riding classes will be held once a week on the five Wednesdays in May and four Wednesdays in June and July. Fifty volunteers are needed for a variety of roles. Most work directly with the handicapped riders, serving as a “leader’’ to help control the horse or as a “side holder’’ to aid the rider’s balance and reinforce the instructor's directions. Volunteers do not need to be experienced horseback riders. All volunteers will need to attend a training session prior to the start of the riding program. The training will be held on Saturday, April 21st Horses and ponies are also needed for the once-a-week riding classes. About 20 animals in all are needed. Each animal is checked by an Instructor to determine its suitability for the program. Horses need to be gentle and dependable. In 1978, 35 volunteers and eleven horses and ponies assisted with the riding program. People and animals came mostly from Grand Ledge, Potterville, Eaton Rapids, and Charlotte. If enough volunteers and horses are recruited for the 1979 program, it is hoped that all 53 youngsters from the Eaton Intermediate School will be able to ride this year. Service clubs or in­ dividuals who may be able to donate time or loan a horse to help on the 4-H Special Riding Program are asked to call the 4-H office at 543-2310 as soon as possible. In Grand Ledge call 627-3484. You don’t need to be a 4-H person to take part in the program. This is a program for all residents of Eaton County. Poisons are killers Poison Prevention Week, March 18 thru 24 The Michigan Phar­ macists Association (MPA) would like everyone to be aware that there are killers in their homes. Poison Prevention Week (PPW), March 18-24, is the perfect time to place potential “killers” such as household cleansers, solvents and pesticides out of the reach of small children.

Most homes contain potential poisons and when children can find these substances, they naturally experiment with them.” “For many years, phar­ macy has led the way in promoting PPW,” William Adrian said. “Many MPA local associations and pharmacists are conducting poison prevention education programs in their com­ munities, in conjunction with poison control centers and other civic groups. A wide assortment of resource material and poison prevention in­ formation are available from MPA. Some of these materials include: the Babysitter’s Guide to Poison Prevention, listing Do’s and Don’ts in case of an ac­ cidental poison; a booklet “The Family Reference Guide to Poison Prevention and Treatment”; a safety medicine chest, used to Are High School students immunized adequately?

The MPA would like to emphasize that children act fast and so do poisons. New and safer packaging has helped decrease the number of childhood poisoning deaths. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reported a decrease of 47 percent in the number of accidental poisoning deaths among children age five and under since 1972 when the CPSC required child­ resistant caps on containers of aspirin. However, the children’s inclination to explore the unknown may still lead them into dangers that no safety measures can control.

MARY JARRARD, Maple Grave Tavrnthip Clerit *^J***B Lions end basketball season A poor free-throw shooting percentage ended the basketball season for the Lions Tuesday night as the DeWitt Panthers defeated Valley 60-55 in tournament playThough MV outscored their opponents 22-20 in field goals, their 11 of 22 from the line was overshadowed by the Panthers’ 20 of 25 per­ formance at the charity stripe. The Lions jumped out to a 13-8 first quarter lead and seemed to be in command when the Panthers put together a stunning offense that netted them a 21 point second quarter. Valley could manage only 14 points and trailed 27-29 at the half. Each team netted 13 points in the third quarter with Valley failing to recapture the lead at the free throw line. Don Fax, who has shown much improvement the second half of the season tied the score at 51-51 with 2:48 remaining to be played. Ken Hansbarger, playing an agressive defense, caused DeWitt problems in the final two minutes and with 55 seconds left he got the ball to Andy Joostberns who was fouled. Joostberns sank one of the free-throws putting the score at- 55-50 in favor of DeWitt. With 33 seconds remaining to be played, DeWitt com­ mitted an offensive foul that gave Valley the ball but the Lion bid for victory fell short. The Panthers grabbed the rebound and Valley fouled.

And, with maple season in full swing, can spring be far behind? (Maple Valley News Photos) This special fire department rig is a familiar sight in Nashville, as the business of gathering sap begins. The rig carries a Supply of large pails to pour the sap into as it is collected from the trees. Then there are two special holding tanks on the rig to haul the sap to the sugar shanty for boiling. Shown working on the rig are Eldon Day, at the wheel; Lee Christopher and his children Kyle (pouring) and Ken. Day says it takes about 100 gallons of sap to make 3-3 7j gallons of maple syrup.

Shortline equipment will be displayed in the MSU Stadium con­ course and at the MSU Dairy Cattle Research and Teaching Center. Exhibits and displays related to weed control will be housed in a large tent in the parking lot between Engineering and the In­ ternational Center. Material shown here will be directly related to the discussions conducted during the weed program. Along with this will be a mobile pesticide van developed at Purdue University. It will provide pesticide information in six categories which will cover safety, pest identification, and application. Displays in the Agricultural Engineering Building will show the recent developments in farm equipment operator safety and design. Farm power exhibits will be sup­ plemented with displays of tillage, planting, and har­ vesting equipment. There will be a similar section for farm building systems and material used in farm construction. Plans for dairy, beef, swine, and home building will be available, as well as plans for manure handling and storage facilities. Details of what to see, where to park, and where to eat, are contained in the Farmers’ Week brochure. It is free and availalbe at the county Cooperative Ex­ tension Service office.

Soil test for gardens Take the guesswork out of fertilization Having your soil tested is an easy, inexpensive way to determine the nutrient needs of your garden. In fact, it’s about the only way to make sure you’re adding enough nutrients in the right proportions for good plant growth and crop production. When you have your soil tested at the Michigan State University soils laboratory, you get a computer printout broken down into two basic parts: results and recom­ mendations. Results include soil pH, which is. a measure of soil acidity dr alkalinity; and lime index, which indicates the need for lime on acid soils. MSU soils specialist Darryl Warncke ways a pH of 6.0-6.8 is best for home vegetable gardening. “If the soil pH rises above or falls below’that range, certain nutrients may become unavailable to plants, even though present in the soil,” Warncke says. “This is why you don’t routinely add lime to your soil without having a soil test first. You may be making a bad situation worse instead of better. A summary of home garden soil test in­ formation revealed' 75 percent of all gardens in Michigan do not need lime.” Available phosphorus, potassium, calcium arid magnesium are reported in pounds per acre. These are the basic plant nutrients. As a rule of thumb, phosphorus levels of less than 40 pounds per acre are very low. For vegetable gardening, 100-150 pounds per acre is desirable. An adequate potassium level for vegetables is 300 350 pounds per acre. Magnesium is adequate at 75 pounds per acre in mineral soils. Calcium is almost always adequate in Michigan soils. Based on summary information, 50 percent of Michigan gardens can benefit from added phosphorus, 75 percent from added potash and 11 percent from added magnesium. Fertilizer recom­ mendations are given in the form of pounds of nitrogen, phosphate and potash per 1,000 square feet. A recommendation of 3 + 1 + 1, for instance, means three pounds of nitrogen, one pound of phosphate and one pound of potash per 1,000 square feet. To provide these nutrients, you have to understand how to read the label on a package of fertilizer. The three numbers on the label indicate the 'percent nitrogen, phosphate and potash in the fertilizer, Warncke explains. To choose the right fertilizer for your garden, you need to select one complete fertilizer-one that provides all three nutrients-or a combination of two or more that will provide the nutrients your Nashville VFW 8260 & Auxiliary Get your reservation in by March 25 for Past Commanders, Past Presidents and Life Members Banquet which will be March 31.

To provide nutrients in the ratio of 3-1-1, for instance, you could use either 23-7-7 or 23-9-9. To determine how much fertilizer you need to apply to each 1,000 square feet of garden area, multiply the pounds of one of the nutrients in the recom­ mendation by 100 and divide that by the amount of that nutrient the fertilizer provides. “Let’s say the recom­ mendation is for three pounds nitrogen, one pound phosphate and one pound potash,” Warncke says. “Multiply three pounds—the nitrogen in the recommendation-by 100 and divide that by 23 and get 13 pounds per 1,000 square feet.” Working with the phosphate or potash requirements would give you a fertilizer requirement of 11 pounds <1x100 divided by 9) per 1,000 square feet. Warncke says you may choose to use the higher rate or compromise halfway. Hence, you would need to use 11-13 pounds of the 23-9-9 fertilizer for each 1,000 square feet of garden; If you choose to use natural fertilizer materials, you will probably have to use more than one to provide balanced nutrition for flowers and vegetables. You might use dried blood (12-1­ 1) to meet nitrogen needs, bone meal (4-21-1) for phosphorus and seaweed (1­ 1-5) or wood ashes (0-1-5) for potash. “No matter what kind of fertilizer you’re using, avoid thinking that more is bound to be better,” Warncke advises. “Overfertilization can reduce both yields and vegetable quality.” Further explanation of MSU soil test results and recommendations is available in Extension Bulletin E-1240.

Merchant participation in the promotion is optional but tthe basic program calls for local businessmen to pur­ chase coupons, labeled “Nashville Bucks”, from the Chamber of Commerce. The coupons may then be awarded to customers at the ratio of one coupon for every $5 purchase. Fourty, coupons will be good for ten gallons of gas at Powers’ Shell or Fargo Service Wednesday that to make the promotion most effective they should keep the rules simple and “make as few exclusions as possible.” Interested merchants may secure coupons and ad- ditional details from Jerry Brumm at Nashville Hard­ ware.

In other business, Chamber president Charles Andrus, Jr., reported on a recent conversation with Calvin Shelton, president of the newly-formed KentBarry-Eaton Railroad, soon to assume ownership of the present Conrail line which runs from Vermontville to Grand Rapids, via Nashville. KBE owners had planned to take over the line April 1st but details on a maintenance contract have caused a temporary delay until June 1st, Andrus reported. However, Shelton ex­ pressed interest in Andrus’ proposal to arrange special excursion tours to Barry County and he will be in this area in the near future to meet with Andrus; Frank Walsh, director of Charlton Park and Museum;, and James Gordon, Barry County Commissioner from Middleville. The Middleville Jaycees have also shown interest in the excursion train, an idea which gained impetus at Nashville’s February Chamber of Commerce meeting. At that time Andrus suggested special Sunday passenger trips from Grand Rapids to Charlton Park and Sandyland. “The West Michigan Tourist Association saw the Maple Valley News report of otu* February meeting and At the regular meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education held Monday, March 12, the board mem­ bers approved changing the location of the summer band camp to VanBuren Youth Camp.

Board members Wayne Cogswell and Russell Geary abstained. The board members ap­ proved a request from Vernon Trowbridge, President of the Ver­ montville Maple Syrup Festival, to allow parking of trailers at the Jr.-Sr. High School parking lot during the festival April 27-29. Approval was given the addition of Business Law and Consumer Mathematics to the high school curriculum beginning in the fall 1979. A new textbook, American Government by Prentice­ Hall was approved for the government class. The textbook Freedoms Trail by Houghton Mifflin was ap­ proved for the U.S. history class. The board members approved general policy changes related to the co­ educational physical education classes. Approval was given the purchase of student folders for students in the Jr.-Sr. High School on a trial basis for one year. These curriculum and general operational changes had been previously ap­ proved by the professional study committee and educational advisory commitee. Considering the general lack of interest shown in the book store along with the limited amount of materials that have been sold this year, it was decided to close out the bookstore and at this time, and the general fund will reimburse the classes for their investment in the inventory. The board members voted to approve the purchase of ten CB radio units from Vermontville Hardware at a total cost of $838.50 including antenna’s and slide in brackets. These units will be used in the special education vehicles, kindergarten busses, vocational bus, and school truck enabling better communication in event of emergency. It was the decision of the board of education upon the recommendation of Jr.-Sr. High School principal, Burr Hartenburg, to discontinue the use of the trampoline in the entire program including physical education classes.

Ted and Corry Ohler, new owners of the business, have been working diligently since early last summer to refurbish the plant and install some new equipment. The Ohlers hope to expand their production to also include patio stones and other concrete products. Residents of the Fine Lake area, the Ohlers have two teenage children. Ted is an industrial arts teacher at the Calhoun County Area Vocational Education Center, in addition to operating the block plant. A tour of Putnam Library, guided by library historian Jane Shoup, highlighted last Tuesday’s meeting of the newly-formed “Friends of the Library” group. In the business meeting Tuesday, Joy Peake was named vice­ president and plans were set for an April 14th bake sale at Carl’s Market. Persons wishing to donate baked goods or services for the fund-raising event are asked to call Margaret Ashcraft at 852-9793. The FOL group will be conducting various programs and projects to benefit our local library, and they need community support. Senior citizens, as well as teenagers, are encouraged to join the FOL. An upcoming project, which will involve elementaryage school youngsters, is a bookmark design contest, to be chaired by Merry Lou Ossenheimer. The next meeting of the FOL is set for April 9th at 7 p.m. and will also include another tour of the library facilities for. interested persons. Ardyce Robotham is president of the organization; Laurie Kipp is secretary; and Helen Hay, treasurer. A fish weighing 503 lbs. and measuring 150 inches long was a prize catch for Charles Kjergaard, son of the William Kjergaards of Nashville, during a recent Hawaiian vacation. A blue Pacific marlin, the trophy was captured during a deep sea fishing expedition off the cost of Kona and required an hour of hard work on Charley’s part before the fish was landed. Coincidentally, Charley was sitting in the same seat on the same charter boat where a 1,000 lb. prize marlin had been hooked last year. That larger catch is now on display in the charter boat company office, but Kjergaard decided against having his huge prize mounted due to the extremely high cost and distance to be tran- sported. Besides, where does one display a twelve-and a half foot long fish? This week, the Kjergaards’ daughter Susan is celebrating her 21st birthday during a week-long Caribbean cruise as part of a group tour. Susie, a clerk typist for the State of Michigan, has also occasionally been featured as a model for various advertisers in the Maple Valley News. Several meetings will take place this week at the Nashville United Methodist Church. Tuesday, March 20th, the Council on Ministries will meet at 7:00 p.m., followed by an 8:00 p.m. meeting of the Administrative Board. Wednesday, March 21st, the Education Committee will meet at 7:00 p.m., followed by a 7:300 p.m. meeting of the Board of Trustees. All meetings will be held at the church. A recent stage presentation of the Broadway hit “Annie”, performed at the Fisher Theater in Detroit, was enjoyed by Mrs. Hilda Baas of Nashville. The play, based on the comic strip “Little Orphan Annie”, was the highlight of a group bus tour under the guidance of Mrs. Greta Firster of Ver­ montville. Actress Kathy-Jo Kelly aptly portrayed Annie; and her ever-faithful dog, Sandy, was very delightful on stage, reports Mrs. Baas. The group enjoyed a good view of the performance from balcony seats. Their attendance at the Saturday afternoon matinee at the Fisher was preceeded by a morning shopping expedition to the new “Twelve Oaks Mall” at Novi. Dick and Wilma Bogart of Nashville were in Lansing last Sunday for the christening of their first grandson, Richard A. Bogart, who was born January 21st. The baby is the son of Terry and Nancy Bogart of Lansing. The Dick Bogarts also have two granddaughters. Mrs. George (Pat) Vogt fell at home last week and broke her right shoulder. She had just been released from Barry County Medical Care Facility last week after nearly 2 months confinement for a broken hip suffered in a pre­ Christmas fall. She underwent hip surgery and spend several weeks at Pennock Hospital following that mishap. Pat had been making a good recovery from the hip fracture but was still using a walker when she fell last week. She is now confined in bed at home to await healing of the shoulder break. Sorry that the name of one little girl in the Quailtrap School group photo (featured in last week’s “Memories” story) was omitted in the caption. The young lass in the dark dress, standing at the extreme left in the front row, is Mary Fuller (Jarrard). Her sister, Wilma Fuller (DeCamp), who was also in the picture and had loaned it for the Quailtrap story, caught the oversight. _ Through Mrs. DeCamp, we also learned the correct spelling of the name of one teacher mentioned in the report. Miss Monroe’s name was Aura (not Ora). Both are pronounced the same. Aura later married Proctor McGinnis, who was an uncle to Wilma and Mary Fuller (he was a brother to their mother). Aura was the daughter of the Orlie Monroes, who lived on Cleveland Street in the presentday Corkins home. Thanks to Dick Mason of Nashville for loaning the photo used in the recent “Memories” feature,on the old Nashville News office. Dick’s father, C.O. “Ab” Mason, worked for the News for 48 years and was known as “Mr. Nashville News” by most village residents. Ab passed away in 1956. Several other interesting photos have been loaned by Dick for up­ coming features, and we are currently seeking information on an early Nashville baseball team (pre-1910) on which Ab played. Other players currently identified are Phil Dalhouser, Bill Shupp,_ Dorr Webb, and Chester “Pat” Smith. Anyone with knowledge of the team’s history is asked to call this reporter at 852-1963. Clare Wright of rural Nashville will perform in a another jamboree of the Original Michigan Fiddlers’ Associationthis time at the Cassopolis Fairgrounds, March 31st. The 2 p.m. jamboree will be followed by a 7 p.m. dance. Wright, who is also famous for playing a lively tune now and then at the Nashville Senior Citizens’ Site here, participated in a similar jamboree held last month in the community building on the Barry County Fairgrounds in Hastings. Mrs. Nellie Moon of Nashville enjoyed attending a meeting of the Edith Parks Circle of the United Methodist Church last Monday. The gathering was at the home of Mrs Adah Steele of Nashville. Singing of Irish ballads, accompanied by Feme Green as pianist, helped the Nashville Site Senior Citizens celebrate an early St. Patrick’s Day last Thursday, Dreeceeding their noon dinner at the site. Russ and Billie Blakely of Nashville returned last Wed­ nesday from a two-weeks trip to Colorado to visit their children at Colorado Springs. Shortly before arriving there, tthe drove into a blinding snow shower west of Kit Carson Colorado. TheBlakelys and several other mothorists were forced to return east to find accommodations when the State Police closed the highway due to poor visibility. However, apparently because of the dry condition of the snow, there was very little accumulation on the ground the following morning and the Blakelys were able to continue to Colorado Springs. There, they found temperatures mostly in the 60 degree range, and saw snow only one day. Bible study will be held at the Nashville United Methodist Church Thursday evening, March 22nd, at 8 p.m. The Nashville Jaycees, headed by Mike Slocum, will soon bbe sponsoring a “50-50” drawing which could net a goodsized cash award for the lucky winner.

Tea committee for the 7:30 p.m. event is Betty Myers, Nita Brown, and Bessie Myers. Members are welcome to bring guests. Fred Ackett, a well-known local resident, has become a one-man historian for the village of Nashville over the years. A looseleaf notebook filled with newspaper clippings and carefully handwritten notes, plus an equally burgeoning scrapbook, details Nashville history from early days to the present. Fred’s handwritten notes even cover the village’s early government, beginning with the year 1871. Council members and village presidents for the past one-hundred years are listed, plus a wealth of other facts pertinent to Nashville’s history. One particularly interesting Nashville personality chronicled in Ackett’s collection is Ray Wolfe, who operated what was thought to be the fist bus line in Michigan. Wolfe’s parents lived in the former Kent home on south M-66 and raised vegetables for sale in the cities. Ray made trips into Battle Creek to deliver the produce and usually ended up carrying “riders” from Nashville. Soon he was hauling more people than “potatoes” and went into the tran­ sportation business on a regular basis, finally extending his bus line as far as Coldwater. The year was about 1912 when Wolfe started his venture, Ackett believes, although the clipping was undated. A small religious booklet written and published by Ray Wolfe, in 1913, entitled “A Wolfe Tamed,” is part of Ackett’s collection, and shows a good photo of the author on the front cover. Though he was missing his right arm, Wolfe had the reputation of being more than sturdy enough “to take care of himself,” Fred recalls. The Mayo-Evans Birthday Club met Thursday, March 8th, at the home of Mary Linsley on Five Point Highway. Alta Linsley and jV>yce Gardner assisted as co-hostesses. Eleven members and one guest enjoyed a delicious luncheon, followed by a business meeting and games. The next meeting of the club is set for April 12th at the home of Grace Ritchie of Bellevue. Robert Beystrum of Port Clinton, Ohio, was in Nashville several days last week visiting his mother, Mrs. Viola Beystrum. An earlier guest at the Beystrum home was Viola’s sister, Mrs. Edna McConnell of Battle Creek. “Sowing precious seed” will be the theme of the Nashville Baptist Church annual Father-Son banquet set for next Monday, March 26th, at 7 p.m. at the MVHS cafeteria.

Barry County could not afford to replace the bridge without grant funding, Kineman claimed. . “Bridges are expensive and they won’t get any cheaper,” he added. The present truss bridge, one of only three still standing in Barry County, has been labeled too short, too narrow, and has a limited load capacity. Justin Cooley, Castleton Township supervisor, favored the bridge project, pointing to the residential growth potential and said loss of the old bridge might direct area residents toward Hastings or other shopping centers instead of toward the Nashville business com­ munity. “We are looking to the future,” Cooley said in support of the bridge project. Cooley was a member of a special committee recently appointed by Nashville village president Harold Christiansen to study possible uses of the potential $170,000 community development funds. Nash­ ville councilman John Mason and Fire Chief Doug Yarger were also on the committee.

Interesting footnotes keep turning up on the old Wolcott House, a former grand hotel on Nashville’s South Main Street, which was recently featured in a “Memories of the Past” story. Mrs. Caroline Jones found a old news clipping last month which established 1878 as the date the hotel was built. Just last week, we learned that 1940 was the year of its demise. Mrs. Elza Emery advised us that she and her late husband, Harry Emery, bought the then-defunct hotel, tore it down and used the lumber to construct a barn and shed on their N. Price Road farm. And Mrs. Beatrice (Herrington) Penfold of Nashville was able to add some additional insight' into last week’s “Quailtrap School” story. The reason the structure was moved from a hilly site to a more level location, a few hundred feet to the south, was to place it on a more secure foundation, Bea reports. The first foundation was only three large stones and a hill, according to informtion Bea received from Graydon Andrews of Curtis Road. Both Bea and An­ drews were early 1900’s scholars at the Quailtrap on South Clark Road. Sports figures will highlight services at the Nashville Baptist Church during an April and May Sunday School promotion based on a theme of “winning every inning.” Coach Floyd Eby, a former Coldwater High School basketball coach, will address the Sunday School, April 8th. Eby is a nationaHy-known speaker and author. Phil Reagen, former Tiger pitcher and present basketball coach at Grand Valley State College, will be featured as speaker for the May 20th Sunday School hour. The Nashville Senior Citizens will meet for a 12:00 noon potluck dinner Wednesay, march 21st, at the V.F.W. Hall in Nashville. All are invited and welcome to attend. At this writing, it is expected that Eloise Wolf, Barry County Director of the Commission on Aging, will speak to the group. Phil Kerns, author of the book “People’s Temple, People’s Tomb,” will speak at the Nashville Baptist Church, Sunday, March 25th, during morning worship services. Kerns is a former member of the People’s Temple but had left the cult prior to the recent Jonestown tragedy in which he lost his mother and a sister. Mr. and Mrs. George Frith and'Mr. and Mrs. Gerald (“Doc”) Mater of Nashville returned last week from a twoweek trip to Florida. On the way south, they stopped at the Madi Gras festival in New Orleans where they found the festivities peaceful despite a city wide police and firemen’s strike. They enjoyed touring the Madi Gras area on a sightseeing bus which was an organized excursion from the campsite where they were staying. In Florida, the Friths and maters visited various points of interest and called on some relatives before making the return trip home in their campers.

In addition to village street improvements, the com­ mittee had listed aiding development of a community recreational park, paving a downtown behind stores parking lot, and building a sidewalk and or bike path along Reed Street to Carl’s Market, as the uppermost priorities. Mason said other possible projects to be investigates were installation of a handicapped ramp at Putman Library, im­ provement of the Thornapple River dam, expansion of the senior citizens’ nutrition program, purchase of a 1 ton 4 wheel drive utility fire truck, construction of a boat launch at Putnam Park, restoration of the old Pump House for a community room, and repairing the Francis Street bridge. Sylvia Dulaney, Barry County Grants Coordinator, was present at the meeting and said she expects word by the end of March if the HUD grant has been approved. If not, she has alternative grants to pursue. In addition to the $170,000 being sought for civic improvement projects, the HUD Block Grant would provide $210,000 to rehabilitate homes of 35 low income Nashville area residents .

Footsteps of six generations echo through Blaisdell HomesteadHannah Blaisdell and Castleton Township “grew up together”. When Hannah arrived here in 1847, at age four, the township was also in its’ infancy. Entirely inhabited by Indians, Castleton Township did not see its’ first white settler until 1837, although surrounding townships were dotted here and there with settler’s cabins. “Indians there were in abundance, who came every year to occupy their wigwams in the sugar groves and dwelt along the streams, the banks of which were frequently by deer, and the waters of which were well supplied with fish,” recounts an 1880 History of Barry and Allegan Counties. Hannah came to Michigan from Seneca Falls, N.Y., with her parents, thomas and Alice Blaisdell, and her little brother and sister, DeWitt and Polly. The family settled on 160 acres of Section 15 (nor­ thwest of our present village), land which Blaisdell had purchased during an 1838 visit to Michigan. “The original tract of land was completely covered with timber which, of course, had' to be cleared from the land before crops could be planted,” writes Hannah’s grandson, Kenneth A. Meade a Nashville native now of Franklin. With the aid of a car­ penter, Blaisdell, who was a miller by trade, built a log house in 1847 to shelter his family and in the autumn sowed wheat on a ten acre field he had hired cleared. In the spring of 1848 he built a barn and began the work of clearing timber from the rest of the farm. No settlement existed in Nashville until some eight years later when a crude mill operation was established on the Thor­ napple River. “In the early years on the Farm, trips were made to Battle Creek on horseback to get staples such as sugar, coffee, and salt. A little later, trading could be done at Hastings when a settlement was made there,” reports Meade, who heard the story as a child. In future years, Hannah would pass on to her grand­ son many fascinating tales of the Blaisdells’ experiences as early township settlers. “Grandmother said that as '’Grandmother said that as a little girl she remembered Indians who came from their campgrounds near Thornapple Lake to trade pickerel fish for home baked bread. They couldn't speak English so all communication was by sign language." a little girl she remembered I ndians who came from their campgrounds near Thor­ napple Lake to trade pickerel fish for home baked bread. They couldn’t speak English so all com­ munication was by sign language,” recalls Meade. The Blaisdell family prospered on their newly settled land and by 1860, nine years before Nashville became a village,' Thomas started construction of a large stone dwelling on his property. Plans for the house were drawn by his wife, but unfortunately, Alice died in 1861 and did not live to see her dream home completed. Hannah was then eighteen years of age. Thomas con­ tinued building the grand house, and materials were hauled by wagon from Battle Creek and Marshall. Sand­ stone corners for the upright section were hauled from a quarry near Jackson. To make the trip worthwhile, Blaisdell hauled wheat to sell in the cities and building materials filled the empty wagons for the return trip home. “Most of this was done during the Civil War years when wheat brought a good price,” writes Meade. Thomas Blaisdell lived for 21 years after his wife’s death. He passed away in 1882 at the home of his daughter Polly (by then Mrs. Rueben Kuhlman), who lived in the brick house near Putnam Park now owned by the Kjergaards. Hannah, by that time, had married Samuel J. Robin­ son, a brakeman on the old Michigan Central Railroad. When Thomas Blaisdell died, Hanrjah Blaisdell Robinson, left in buggy, was nearing 70 in this 1911 photo on Nashville's South Main Street. When Hannah first came to Castleton Township as a small child, no settlement existed in the village. Her family home northeast of Nashville is one of the earliest township dwellings still standing. With her in the buggy are granddaughter Mabel Meade, age 4, and neighbor Emma Huwe (both now deceased). Hannah's horse, dubbed "Nellie Bly", was then 20 years old. (Photo loaned, courtesy Mrs. Helen Huwe) his daughter Hannah and her husband assumed ownership of the family homestead. While Samuel worked on the railroad, Hannah managed the farm with the aid of hired help and, continued to do so even following Robinson’s death in 1896. In 1901 Hannah, who had come to Castleton Township at age four, was 58 years of age and she turned the operation of the farm over to her daughter and son-in-law, Jessie and Arthur V. Meade. The Meades had bought 80 acres of the farm that year and lived in a frame house on the southeast corner of the property. When their home burned in 1912 they bought the remaining acerage and moved into the stone house with their two children, Mabel and Kenneth. “It was a very, pleasant place to live,” recalls Meade of the old stone house. “Electric lights were put in the stone house in the 1940’s and a bathroom and furnace were installed in the 1950’s”, he relates. Other­ wise the house still stands in much the same state as when constructed by Blaisdell in 1860. Hannah left the farm in 1916, moved in Nashville and resided on Phillips Street until her death in 1936 at age 93. By then the old homestead on Eaton Road had passed to the third generation of the family-from Blaisdell, to Robinson, to Meade. Jessie (Robinson) Meade died in 1928 and, when her husband died thirty years later, the old house passed into the fourth generationfirst to Mabie Meade and then, upon her death in 1959, to her brother, Kenneth A. Meade. Subsequently, the property was purchased by a son, Kenneth F. Meade, and is occupied today by his son, Michael, a great-great­ great-grandson of Thomas Blaisdell. Thus, the sixth generation now lives in the large stone house built by Blaisdell during the Civil War. Many wars have come and gone since then, but the Blaisdell house with stone walls two feet thick seems to have been built to withstand the ages. In 1960 the Michigan Historical Commission designated the Meade homestead a “Centennial Farm”, bestowing honors for ownership by the samel family for over one hundred years. Confederates and Yankees were at war when Thomas Blaisdell built a fine stone home on Eaton Road to replace the 1847 log cabin which had first sheltered his family. In this photo, shade trees obscure the upper story of the main structure but cornerstones hauled from a Jackson quarry are clearly visible, and the depth of the walls is shown in the entryway at the left. Through Blaisdells' daughter, Hannah, the home has passed into sixth generation ownership. . (Photo (Photoloaned, loaned,courtesy courtesyKenneth KennethAA.

Thought: Too many people conduct their lives cafeteria style, self service only. A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative Class Act - The House has once again passed a bill (HB 4013) which would require that all property be equalized by separate classes rather than as a whole as is done new. In other years the bill has died in the Senate, but its chief foe is gone how. Jobs Up - The number of people employed in civilian jobs in Michigan reached a record level last month: 4.3 million. On the other hand, the unemployment rate also increased during the month: 8.2 percent of our work force cant’t find work. Try Again - This year’s bill to decriminalize the possession and use of small amounts of marijuana is SB 65; the Senate Judiciary Committee held hearings on it last week. Previous such proposals have failed of passage by small margins. Action Lacking - The Civil Rights Commission has said that minorities and women are underrepresented in the job market compared to their numbers in general. At the same time, a special House committee on affirmative action has concluded that state and local governments and state universities should be forced by law to maintain af­ firmative-action programs. Wetlands Afloat - Legislation to preserve and protect Michigan’s wetlands, which has been much debated in prior years, is again before the legislature. The Senate will vote on SB 3, while the House will vote on HB 4049, but only after a multitude of amendments are considered. Both bills would regulate the use and development of areas designated as wetlands. Lights Out? - The House has approved HB 4126, which would ban pilot lights in appliances using natural gas. It is similar to a bill which was passed but vetoed last year. By extending a present pilot-light ban to all gas appliances, the intent is to conserve energy. Bowl Bonanza - The successful quest by Governor Milliken and others for the 1982 Super Bowl to be played in Michigan will provide a big boost to our economy in that year. Present estimate predict that broadcasters, other companies and sports fans will spend over $70 million here. » Fuel Help - The Energy Extension Service has issued a new publication to help consumers compare the cost of appliances or heating systems that use different fuels. For a copy of “Which Fuel to Choose?”, write the Service at Box 30228, Lansing 48909, or call 800-292-4704.

Wednesday, March 21. 1979 — Page 15 The sap ‘run’ is on: maple syrup producers are boilin’ down After a successful sap gathering mission, Merle and Marlene Martin (on right) and Jeff Briggs head for the log cabin sugar house to start the boiling down process. American Indians were the first to discover the delights of maple syrup, and the custom was passed on to the early settlers. a slice of a maple tree which shows all the places where the tree had been tapped during its life span. Claude Van Blarcom and Bob Todd (on left) flipped a number of pancakes for the meal. (Below): Inside the Martin sugar house the sap flows into a large evaporator that is fired with oil. The boiling down process reduces the sap into pure maple sugar. Merle is shown stoking the fire. With the boiling down process completed, Merle Martinof Brown Rd., one of Vermontville's maple syrup producers, fills a pail with the delicious sweet liquid all ready for bottling. Martin purchased the family business from his parents and now he and his wife, Marlene, and their two children with the help of Jeff Briggs operate the sugar house on Brown Rd.

Druing the evening, the Mr. and Mrs. Homer Winegar, Community Chairmen for the Village of Vermontville for the Hayes-Green-Beach Memorial Hospital Expansion Fund are shown reviewing plans for the hospital expansion with Lyle Buxton, Area Division and Douglas D. Lowe, campaign General Chairman. Winegars as well as com­ munity chairmen had an opportunity to review plans for the proposed hospital expansion to construct a new wing which will increase private room space and waiting areas for outpatient services and families visiting relatives. A number of im­ provements are planned to modernize and update services to provide greater safety and comfort for the patients and comply with State licensing requirements. There will be no increase in the number of beds, which will remain at 46. The area wide fund goal for the hospital expansion has been set at $1.5 million. A meeting was held last week to train captains in their campaign duties and the selection of prospective volunteers.

A grant of $405,000 has been reserved for Barry County on the basis of its pre­ application. The grant will become a reality if a final application, due June 30th, meets all the requirements of the Small Cities Program. If funding is approved the dollars are earmarked at $210,000 for home rehabilitation and $170,000 for community im­ provements in the village of Nashville, Castleton Township and Maple Grove Township. Grants provided under the Small Cities Program are to be used for a wide range of activities directed toward goals of decent housing and suitable living environment (with up to $6,000 per home rehabilitation for eligible low income persons).. Dollars geared toward community improvements may be used as matching funds for other local grant applications or for streets, sidewalks, fire departments, garbage service, and other projects. An amount of $25,000 is set aside for county ad­ ministration of the proposed program. The HUD program would be a continuation of the type of grant the Orangeville area received last year. Funding of the Nashville area this time around is the first part of a proposed three-year program which designates the Woodland-Freeport area as recipients next year and Middleville the following year. HUD expects to give final approval by September 15 and funds should be released to eligible communities in October.

FREE Sales of Beer Wine, Liquor, and Cigarettes, No limit - Start Collecting "Nashville Bucks" Today! by Susan Hinckley Nashville firefighters spent more than five hours last Thursday afternoon battling a large barn fire on the Jerry Gardner property on Guy Road, southwest of Nashville. The Nashville Fire Department was summoned about 2:30 p.m. to the Gardner residence located just north of Butler Road intersection. Upon arriving at the scene, firemen found only the framework of the structure still standing, and totally engulfed in flames. High winds fanned the fire and ignited a field of com stubble located across the road from the barn. Nashville firemen were assisted by tankers of water and firemen from the Hastings Department, and a “grass buggy” from the Bellevue Fire Department was also summonded to aid in controlling the cornfield blaze. A bulldozer from the Conservation Department at Yankee Springs was brought to the scene to spread hay so the flames could be more easily extinquished. Lost in the blaze, in ad­ dition to a quantity of hay, was a 1953 auto parked in the barn. Killed in the fire was one of the family’s dog which, according to a fire department spokesman, was chained near the barn. The Gardner home was also in jeopary from the flames and an effort by the firefighters kept it from igniting. At the time of this report, information on the origin of the blaze and estimated dollar loss was not available.

Nashville. Wednetdoy. March 28, 1<79 — Page 2 Nashville News A warm and sunshiny weekend preceeded the official "first day of spring" last Wednesday, to give area residents a sneak preview of better days to come. The near-70 tem­ peratures brought Nashville folks outdoors to wash away winter's residue from house windows and autos. Some spent the weekent tidying their yards, while others just enjoyed biking, walking, and basking under our beautiful sunny skies Steam poured from the Sugar Shanty in Putnam Park from sunny Sunday through Wednesday last week, as the community maple syrup project gained mementum Several out-of-towners have stopped at the Sugar Shanty to chat, observe production, and, of course, sample the sweet produce. Four consecutive days of boiling had, at'this writing produced a total of 316 gallons of syrup. Harold Christiansen, president of the Nashville Syrup Association, said freezing nighttime temperatures or a good, wet snow are needed right now to again start the sap flowing at a good pace. Our recent extended warm spell has slowed the run, he explained, production is about at par for this time of year. Christiansen reports this season’s syrup is “very good” 'quality. He recalls an earlier March when a wet snow of about 6 inches fell and started the sap running at such a speed that buckets on the Putnam Park maples overflowed before the men could get through the snow to empty them into holding tanks. Christiansen has been doing most of the boiling again this year at the Sugar Shanty. Nelson Brumm has been helping a good deal too, as has Eldon Day, who does the canning of the syrup. Two resounding booms which sounded like an airplane striking her house, at the corner of Washington and Middle Street, awakened Mrs. Caroline Jones just before seven last Thursday morning. Immediately her neighbor, Mrs. Ronald Bracy, knocked on Mrs. Jones’ door to inform her that an unoccupied truck, which had been left running and parked along Washington Street, had apparently slipped out of gear, rolled back across the intersection, jumped a curb, and crashed into the Jones porch, causing quite extensive damage. Mrs. Bracy had been pulling out of her driveway just north of the Jones house and witnessed the incident. The truck reportedly belonged to Sherill Herman of Nashville, who was temporarily inside a Washington Street home at the time of the mishap The vehicle apparently sustained no serious damage, but posts and railing on Mrs. Jones’ west porch were knocked down and a west bedroom window was broken. Fortunately, Mrs. Jones was not sleeping in that room. She said she is just very glad the misfortunate in­ cident occured prior to school time when many children normally congregate at the intersection near her house to board buses at the Kellogg School. An April 1st “Men’s Breakfast” has been set for 7:30 a.m. at the Nashville United Methodist Church. Mrs. John (Sue) Bahs of Nashville will lead the group in singing at the event which proceeds Sunday morning worship service. Mrs. Nellie Moon of Nashville attended a WCTU meeting of the Hastings Union last Tuesday, at the home of Mrs. Carol Tobial of Nashville. Mrs. Moon says there is no longer a Nashville WCTU chapter, but there are about 30 members in the Hastings branch of the organization. Students at Lakeview High School, in Battle Creek Township, recently received the benefit of instruction from a variety of talented craftsmen, two of them from Nashville. Gerald and Jane Shoup participated in the school’s “Special Interest Day,” an annual event in which both students and teachers enjoy a welcome break in routine. A multitude of area artisans, representing a wide range of skills and in­ terests, became instructors for the day. Students are allowed to select the crafts in which they are most interested and elect to attend those classes. Jane demonstrated her hand-painting of hex signs, as she explained the history and symbolism behind them. Jerry showed his unique wood­ carving talent and also took along a collection of model steam engines which he has built from scratch (no kits). The Shoups, who have previously participated in the program, enjoy the day as much as the students. The first year they “instructed”, students packed the school auditorium to hear Jane speck on hex signs. So many youngsters had signed up for the session that a normal-sized classroom could not accommodate them all. Recent Sunday visitors at the home of Mrs. Caroline Jones of Nashville were her son and daughter-in-law, Bob and Hilda Jones, of Battle Creek. Mr. and Mrs. Jones were soon to be enroute to California to visit their daughter, Gale, a physical therapist at San Diego. Gale, a graduate of the University of California, has resided in that state the past few years. Mr. and Mrs. Dave Mace of Caledonia are expected to assume ownership of Simon Pharmacy this week. Mace has been manager of Lippert Pharmacy in Caledonia for several years. The Maces plan to move to Nashville in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. Clifton (Evelyn) Mason of rural Nashville returned home last Tuesday from an extended winter vacation which culminated in a tour of the Holy Land, In the latter part of December, the Masons left for Florida to spend some time with her daughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Jack (Marilyn Lundstrum) Cooke at Miami. In January, the Masons joined several ministers and missionaries for a Caribben Cruise planned to celebrate fifty years of missionary work in the West Indies. In February, the Masons were members of a United Methodist Church group tour in which two 747 jits, filled with persons from the United States, flew to the Holy Land for bus tours which included stops at the traditional Biblical sites. On the return trip to the USA, the group stopped in Greece for sightseeing at Athens and Corinth. Cliff and Evelyn arrived back- in Michigan last week with an abundance of photos and slides depicting their 3 month adventure. For nearly forty years, Mrs. Margaret Wagner has operated a beauty salon at the same address on Nashville’s South Main Street, and now she had decided to retire and sell her home (in which the shop was located.) Margaret, who opened the salon in July of 1939, thinks it’s about time she had a rest. At this writing, she is expecting a weekend visit from her daughter and son-in-law, Irene and Thomas Lawler of Virginia, Minnesota. Our best wishes to Margaret for a happy retirement. Mr. and Mrs. Karl (Agness) Pufpaff will host an 8 p.m. meeting of the Nashville United Methodist Church Builder Class, Wednesday, March 28th, at their home on Morgan Road. Mrs. Helen Furlong of Nashville, and her twin sister, Mrs. Theo (Ruth) Kennedy of Hager Road, were in Cleveland, Ohio, the weekend of March 24th to attend the wedding of Mrs. Furlong’s grandson, John Burkhardt, to Debbie Layne. They were accompanied on the trip by Helen’s son and his wife, the Fred Burkhardts of Pinconning. Helen and Ruth returned to Nashville last Tuesday, and Helen reports the weather in Cleveland was absolutely beautiful, with the spring season somewhat more advanced than here. The Pastor-Parish Relations Committee of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet at the church parsonage at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 27. Larry Corkwell, and employee of Nashville’s Department of Public Works, completed a 5 day basic lab course at Michigan State University, the third week of March. Classes, sponsored by Michigan’s Department of Natural Resources, ' drew attendants from various-sized tmunicipalities throughout Michigan-most of them larger than Nashville. One young lady, an employee of the Bangor DPW, was the only female in a class of sixteen students. Basic lab procedures were learned, as well as studies of chemicals related to testing and treatment of waste water in municipal sewer facilities. In addition to day-long classes, which included many hours in a college lab, the students were also required to do considerable studying on their own time to prepare for Friday’s final exam. The class was part of Larry’s necessary training to earn his sewer plant operator’s license from the State of Michigan. Mrs. Charles Askins of Nashville enjoyed a visit last Tuesday from her son, Raymond Askins, of Boyne City. By Susan Hinckley Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville, having recovered from a month-long bout of illness, has been enjoying getting out again. She was an overnight guest last Monday evening of her daughter and son-in-law, Doris and Cleo Jackson, at Algonquin Lake near Hastings. Mrs. Caroline Jones was the first to spot our error in last week’s Nashville News item about Wolfe’s early bus lines from here to Battle Creek. It was Roy (not Ray) Wolfe who was responsible for what is believed to have been the first buslines in Michigan. Thanks to our alert readers, we may get Nashville’s histor recorded correctly before we’re done. An interesting letter last week from Wayne Fuller, a Nashville native now of Toledo, added a colorful footnote to our recent “Quailtrap School” story. Fuller also remembers the effective but popular teacher, Johnny Bowman, who left a lasting memory for many of his students. Perhaps Fuller’s recollect may explain one reason why Bowman was so wellremembered. “He had an Essex car and would take the kids for rides around the schoolhouse during the noon lunch period,” writes Fuller. At the time Bowman taught at the Quailtrap, he lived in Nashville in the present-day Boldrey house. Dr. Ottis Sayes, Chairman of the Religious Division of Olivet Nazarene College, will speak at the Nashville Church of the Nazarene during weekend services, March 30th through April 1st. The public is invited to attend the evening services to begin at 7:00 p.m. Mrs. Olive McIntyre, a former area resident now residing at the Barry County Medical Care Facility, was an honored attendant at last Tuesday’s meeting, of the Maple Grove Birthday Club, held at the home of Mrs. Bea Rogers of Dowling Road. At 92, Mrs. McIntyre is the oldest member of the club. Another special, long-time member who was able to join the gathering was Mrs. Celia Higby, a former Lacey area resident now of Battle Creek. Since Tuesday’s meeting was the first since Christmas, club members enjoyed sharing samples of their wintertime hobbies.

It was an almost perfect season for Nashville High School’s football team of 1910. The boys had only been defeated once that year in encounters with such large schools as Grand Rapids Catholic, Grand Rapids Union, and Charlotte High. But today, no one seems to recall (and school records do not disclose) which team scored the sole victory over Nashville’s 1910 gridiron heroes. “They played teams quite some distance away,” recalls Mrs. May (Rothaar) Smith, widow of team captain J. Robert Smith, who in later years became-a wellknown Nashville barber. Team members used their own autos for transportation to “away” games, Mrs. Smith remembers.

The objective is to identify all children, grades 1—12 that are not adequately immunized and get them caught up. Prompting this program was the high in­ cidence of Measles in our schools last year. Each student’s im­ munization record will be brought up to date with the help of parents who will supply any additional dates the school may not have. We are urging you, as parents, to check each child’s record and see if they are needing any immunization. M.D.P.H. minimum requirements are as follows: 3 dose of DPT (Diphtheria, Whooping Cough, Tetanua) or D.T. as long as the 3rd dose was given 6 or more months following 2nd dose. Any child who had not had a Tetanus shot in the past 10 years needs a D.T. booster. 3 Polio doses are required with 6 or more months between last 2 doses. If injectable vaccine was given, at least 1 oral polio is needed. 1 Measles injection if 1 year of age and given after January 1967. 1 Rubella (Need in­ jection date or results of titer). In addition to the minimum requirements, the local Health Dept., along with the American Academy of Pediatrics strongly recommends additional doses of DPT and Oral Polio vaccine. (OPV). During this time we will be extending the regular Charlotte Immunization Clinic hours to 8:30 a.m. to 114)0 a.m. and 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. on the 1st Wednesday of each month at 528 Beech Street in Charlotte.

Phillip (“Phil”) Howard of Scipio Highway, Ver­ montville, 1st vice-president of the Nashville Lions for the 1978-79 -year, has been selected as the local “Lion of the Month” for March. Howard joined the Nash­ ville Lions Club in 1976 and has maintained a perfect attendance record since then. He has served on nearly every project sponsored by the club after he became a member and he held the office of 2nd vice­ president for the 1977-78 year. Also currently serving as program chairman, Phil is responsible for securing a variety of presentations, both informative and en­ tertaining, for the Lions’ monthly dinner meeting. According to club protocol, Phil will advance to the'post of Nashville Lions president on September 1st, 1979. “As I enter the year in which I will hold the office of president, I have set several Lionism goals,” Howard commented.

Born in Battle Creek 33 years ago, Phil graduated from Harper Creek High School and attended KeUogg Community CoUege there. He served with the U.S. Army Reserves from 1965 to 1971. He has been employed by Clark Equipment Com­ pany in Battle Creek for the past 12 years.

Also a Michigan-licensed real estate salesperson, he will soon join the Wolever Real Estate office in Nash­ ville. Phil is married to the former Sue Skedgell of Nashville and they have two children, Angela, 4, and Rebecca, 1. The Howards are mem­ bers of the Nashville United Methodist Church where Phil was co-advisor for the Junior High Youth Fellowship for over two years. Consistent with his spirit of giving for others, Phil has also been an active blood donor for the American Red Cross with a tally of 14 pints to his credit.

Sketch depicts a proposed renovation of downtown Nashville Nashville Chamber president Charles Andrus Jr. discusses his sketch of a proposed seven-year plan to renew and expand the downtown business district, greatly increase parking space, and hopefully attract new business to the village. The plan provides for a plaza with a covered walk, set back from the present stores on the west side of Main Street. To put the proposed plan into perspective, Andrus is pointing to the drawing of Security National Bank to show its location in relation to the proposed site of the plaza in the background. Andrus stresses that the proposal is "not a massive plan to change downtown all at one time." "There was a ton of new construction (in Nashville) at the turn of the century. Most of the buildings have a life expectancy of 80-120 years. We're at the point where we have to start to make plans because the life expectancy (of many buildings on that strip of Main) is about over. They're (the buildings) good today but, we have to start to plan for tomorrow," he said..

It was called to discuss and try to resolve contracts between Police (Sheriffs Dept.) and the two groups. Also some sort of pay for our fireman and ambulance needs. It makes no difference whether you live in rural area or in the Metropolis, the need for your protection, Fire, Police, Ambulance services are equally the same, the cost of rural services being the more costly. This cost and the lack of our monies designated for these services are quite far apart. This is a responsibility we all must share. Budgets were blown apart by the priority of the need for Fire, Ambulance, Police programs. I, personally was pleased at the action and how the decisions were arrived at our Village and Township of­ ficials do care about their consituents. I sympathize with Mr. Frith and his board and the concern shows about our roads. The lack of monies is the stumbling block in that Dept. I’m of the opinion that more persons should be attending Council and Township Board meeting to make the voice heard and lend themselves to the support of their feelings. Good construction criticism is healthy and helpful. Let’s be there and give a hand to better and more effective government. * * * —NOTICE— * for the 39th Annual Maple Syrup Festival Parade to be held Saturday, April 28th.

Many Secretary of State’s offices throughout Michigan will be open extra hours to take care of expected lines of buyers. Act One—Governor Milliken has signed into law HB 4115, the first Public Act of this 1979-80 legislative session. The Act changes the requirements for the issuance of railroad grade separation bonds by Michigan cities. Laetrile Hold—HB 4078, to legalize laetrile in Michigan, is now in the Senate Health Committee and will not see further action until summer since the Committee chairman, a practicing physician, believes caution is needed on such complex issues. Health Corps—HB 4085, which would create a Michigan Health Service Corps, has been approved by the House Public Health Committee and is now in the Appropriations Committee. The Corps would identify Michigan areas with health care shortages and try to place health care professions in those areas; the bill would also create a loan program for health care education. Welfare Rules—The Joint Legislative Committee on Administrative Rules has approved rules for a welfare emergency reliefprogram which have been in effect for two months. Under a law enacted last session, all such rules must first be approved by the legislature; this was the second attempt by the Department of Social Services to provide acceptable rules. Sex Insurance—The Attorney General has ruled that an insurance program of Michigan State University illegally discriminates because it charges higher premiums for men than for women based solely on a shorter life expectancy for men. Pay Raise—Governor Milliken has backed off from his proposal to cut a proposed civil service pay raise down to 5 percent from 7 percent. Instead, he will revise his budget estimates to cut the expected $26 million extra cost from other areas of spending.

David Mace, new proprietor of Simon Phar­ macy at 207 N. Main Street, officially started his new venture last week, and is looking forward to meeting and serving area residents. Mace most recently managed Lippert Pharmacy Dave Mace, new owner of Simon Pharmacy in Nashville, began his new job last week. through during that time period. Eventually, Mace plans to remodel portions of the in­ terior of the store and also hopes to add several dif­ ferent product lines. He also reminds senior citizens, persons 65 years of age and over, that they are eligible for a 10 per cent discount when they have their prescriptions filled at Simon Pharmacy. Mace has been active in community activities in Caledonia as a member of the Jaycees there. Professionally, his affiliations include memberships in the American Pharmaceutical Association, Michigan Pharmaceutical Association, and Kent County Pharmaceutical Association. in Caledonia and also has worked at St. Mary Hospital in Grand Rapids after graduating from Ferris State College in 1973. Currently residents of Caledonia, Mace and his wife, Kathy, and two-yearold son, Matthew, plan to move to Nashville in the near future. Mace said he will not be changing the location of the pharmacy to Carl’s Market as the former owner, the late John Simon, had planned. The pharmacy will be open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday; from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, and will be closed on Sunday. Traditionally, Simon Pharmacy has always been closed during lunch hour, but Mace said he plans to remain open and work straight March of Dimes donates to Charlotte hospital for equipment Capitol Chapter March of Dimes granted the purchase of new equipment for HayesGreen Beach Hospital, those of which are: 1. Oxygen hood with neck pad for use on newborn requiring oxygen treatment. A hood that covers the head of newborn or infants and control and monitors the oxygen concentration when needed. 2. Pediatric Ivac Infusion PUmp, this will regulate and monitor the administration of intravenous solutions (IV’s). It operates either electrically or on batteries. It is useful on newborn or pediatric patients as well as JoeAnn Nehmer and Darwin Finkbeiner discuss grant given to Hayes-Green Beach Hospital.

Presenting the Nashville Bucks Coupons to Clark is Jerry Brumm of Nashville Hardware. Also in the photo are Larry Decker of Fargo Service Station (on left) and Jimi Powers of Power's Shell. Both gas stations will honor the coupons in the promotion. Here's how the program works. Customers receive one coupon from participating local businessmen for each $5 purchase. Customers who collect a total of 40 coupons may redeem them for ten gallons of "free' gas at the two participating stations. * t So far, Clark has turned in 80 coupons and received 20 gallons of gas. There s no limit. Start collecting "Nashville Bucks” today.. (Maple Valley News photo) adults. 3. A Doplar infant blood pressure device. This operates by ultra-sound and will take the blood pressure on newborns even if they are born premature. The hospital presently is unable to take blood pressure on newborn because it does not have an instrument such as this that is sensitve enough to do so. 4. Infant suction device. This machine will be used in the nursery. It will indicate the amount of pressure being used on a newborn when suction is required. “Our present central suction system does not indicate the amount of pressure. This is important to know when caring for the newborn or infants,” states Darwin Finkbeiner, Hospital Administrator, refering to the infant suction machine. Mr. Finkbeiner says, “there is no question but what this significant con­ tribution will assist greatly in our efforts toward treating the newborn and pediatric patient and will be of real benefit of patients for several eyars to come.” The Capitol Chapter is Tri­ county, Eaton, Ingham and Clinton. Monies are raised through various campaigns. In Eaton COunty several yearly events occur, the WCER Bike-a-thon, Mulliken’s Old Fashion Days, Sunfield’s chicken bar-a-que and the upcoming food boot at the Vermontville Syrup Festival. Also the Mothers March of which generally every village, city and township in the coutny participates in to raise money for the prevention of birth defects. JoAnn Nehmer, Ver* montville, campaign chairman for Eaton County says, “many times you give your dollar at the door for a worthy cause then you wonder where it goes, and does it ever help in our ccommunity.” Last year through the March of Dimes Eaton Rapids Community Hospital received a donation of equipment for their delivery room. Schools in the area use films material suppling information about birth defects and nutrition.

Saturday’s session is set for 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. and will be conducted very in­ formally. Wolpe will be seeking citizen input on all areas of interest, and following the general discussion period it is expected his aides will assist by talking with folks on a oneto-one basis about individual problems. Cochairmen for Saturday’s event are Mrs. Dora Nisse of Vermontville and John Boughton of Nashville. Mrs. Nisse reports that Wolpe also expects to operate a mobile unit traveling throughout the district this summer to gather citizen input and answer questions. Mrs. Cecile Betts ofNashville had the misfortune to fall at her home Sunday before last and sustained a broken hip. Tuesday she underwent surgery at Pennock Hospital and, at this writing, was not feeling too well. Mrs. Betts had been in ill health recently prior to the fracture. The first tenants began moving last week into the newlybuilt apartment complex on the site of the old Lentz Table Company Construction of the building project, which began last fall, has been completed and await only final land­ scaping. Two structures housing 16 apartments each are fronted with a paved parking area lined with attractive electric globe lights. The complex is owned by B. and B. Development Company of Nashville. Brightly costumed square-dancers filled the Steakhouse Restaurant on a recent Fridy evening, as part of the annual “destination unknown’’ dance of the “Bud’s Duds”. Only one party in the group had advance knowledge of the evening’s planned activity which traditionally calls for dinner out, followed by a session of square dancing at an unknown (to club members) location. In this instance, after the local dinner was finished, the dancers were led by a circuitous route to Battle Creek where they joined the “Promenaders” club for an enjoyable evening of “do-si-dos” at Springfield School’s sunken gym. The “Bud’s Duds” group is comprised of dancers from our general area, including Nashville, Vermontville, and Bellevue, and is led by caller Bud Gillaspie of Vermontville.

Mrs. Bea Penfold of Nashville was honored on her 80th birthday with a family dinner at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Theda Coppess of Sunfield, on Sunday, March 25th. Present for the occasion were Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Linsley of Vermontville; Mr. and Mrs. Donald VanAuken and Tina of Battle Creek; Mr. and Mrs. Darwin Penfold of Ellsworth; Mr. and Mrs. Charles Scales and John of Detroit; Mrs. Tressa Butler of Tustin; Mr. and Mrs. David Beard and Robin of Portland; Bill and Jim Linsley of Springfield; Mr. and Mrs. Richard Coppess and boys of Lansing; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Coppess and family of Sunfield; Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Coppess and family of Woodland; Mr. and Mrs. Tom Smith and Elizabeth of Woodland; and Mrs. Mary Hokanson and Jay of Vermontville. Also celebrating March birthdays were Richard Coppess, Chad Coppess, and Jay Hokanson. Little Robb Rosin, seven-and-a-half month old son of Ronald and Nancy Rosin of rural Nashville, was able to return home last week from Pennock Hospital where he had been confined due to complications from a bout of flu. Robb, who had been hospitalized a week, is recovering well. Ladies of the Nashville United Methodist Church have several meetings scheduled for the next few days. On Wednesday, April 4th, the United Methodist Women will meet at the church at 7:30 p.m. The following day, April 5th, the CloverleafClass will meet at the church at 1:30 p.m., and next Monday, April 9th, the Rebecca Circle will meet at 7:30 p.m., also at the church. Bill and Mary Hecker returned last week from a twoweeks trip to Florida, where they enjoyed visiting Bill’s sister and her husband, Jeanne and Bill Graf, at their new winter home on the Intercoastal Waterway at Delray Beach. The Heckers later toured the Gulf Coast of Florida, stopping to visit friends at Naples and Lake Panasoffkee, where they called on Dr. R. E. White, a former Nashville resident. Dr. White is doing well following eye surgery last year and enjoys fishing nearly every day. On the return trip home, the Heckers toured the Savannah River waterfront area at Savannah, Georgia. Old cotton warehouses from the Civil War era have been restored to house a variety of quaint shops along the river. Enroute home, the Heckers en­ countered snow in the Smokey Mountains which hampered sightseeing in that picturesque area but Florida weather was generally very pleasant throughout their stay. Of course, Michigan had a “white carpet” welcome awaiting them, as our most recent snow fell just prior to their arrival home. Also returning last week from a three-weeks stay in Florida were Bill’s parents, the William H. Heckers of Nash­ ville, who arrived home by plane. They had been driven to Florida by daughter Jeanne, who was making one of numerous trips south to settle her new home there. Maple Valley students are enjoying a holiday from studies this week, as annual spring vacation started Monday . School resumes April 9th. Interesting footnote on last week’s “Memories” story of Nashville High School’s 1910 football team; our earlier research could not pinpoint the exact year Nashville had organized a team. Subsequently, an old Nashville News story has put the date at 1905. Discovered in a “Fifty Years Ago” item in a September 1956 paper was the following paragraph: “The high school football team, which made such a good showing last year, has been reorganized and Principal Head has been chosen manager. There is plenty of good material, and the boys hope to arrange a number of games as soon as they have some practice. The team needs suits and other equipment, and the people of the town should be willing to contribute something towardgetting the boys on their feet. Who will start the ball rolling?” According to this, we can assume the team of 1910 probably represented the fifth year Nashville High School had entered football competition. Incidentally, Harold (“Fuzzy”) Woodward of Nashville was the first to spot an error in last week’s story. Player Irland’s name was Ray, not Bill, as information supplied us had indicated. Bill Irland, local pool hall operator and short-order cook, was the father of Ray who later also went into the restaurant business of his own. Mrs. Azalia Spidel of Nashville was able to return home last week from Pennock Hospital where she had recently undergone surgery for removal of a tumor. She is recovering well. Billy Spear, a nationally-known gospel singer, will per­ form at the 7 p.m. worship service at the Nashville Baptist Church, Sunday, April 22nd. Mrs. Eda Eilliston of Nashville was pleasantly surprised recently when twenty-eight relatives, bearing cake and ice cream, dropped by her house to help her celebrate her 80th birthday. Present for the occasion were grandchildren great-grandchildren, and a nephew of his family, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Link and children, of Bellevue. It was a very en­ joyable evening for Eda who says she doesn’t feel her age. La Duska Sheldon, Putnam Librarian, and Darlene Hammond of Kinsel Highway, were honored last Wednesday to serve as balloting assistants at a White House Conference on Libraries and Information Services, held at the Lansing Civic Center, March 27th and 28th. Citizens and library representatives from throughout Michigan participated in the sessions as part of a nationwide program originally By Susan Hinckley instituted by then-Congressman Gerald Ford. The purpose of the White House conference in Lansing was to generate input from a network of citizen’s committees formed in the state to support development of improved library and in­ formation services. A goal of the Lansing meeting, attended by 239 delegates from throughout Michigan, was to help individuals become more aware of library services and offer training in uses of library facilities. Mrs. Sheldon and Mrs. Hammond were selected by the Michigan Department of Education State Library Services to participate in last week’s event and were responsible for tallying votes cast by the delegates on a number of proposals. A national White House Conference will be held in Washington, D.C., in Oc­ tober. Mrs. William (Virginia) Cox, a former resident now of Houston, Texas, was recently back home for a visit and was honored in an early celebration of her April 1st birthday. She and friends, Mrs. Gloria Johncock, Mrs. Barbara Gagne, and Mrs. Barbara Mix, all of Nashville, gathered at the Steakhouse Restaurant for a dinner complete with a lovely birthday cake for Virginia. Ard and Iza Decker returned last week form a nearly twoweeks trip to Florida. Accompanying them on the journey was their granddaughter, Marcia Elliston of Nashville, and Iza’s sister, Mrs. Ena Johnson of Hastings. At Brooksville, Florida, they called on Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Cunningharp (She is the former Thelma Jarrard, a sister Iza and Ena). Tours of Cypress Garden and Sea World were enjoyed. Ard reports they had good weather all the time they were gone, until they arrived back in Michigan. He also said they saw countless cars with Ontario plates, an indication perhaps that many Canadians were also happy to escape some of our harsh winter. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur (Margaret) Bateman returned to Nashville recently after nearly three-months wintering at Clearwater Beach, Florida. They experienced good weather during their stay although it was a bit cool when the Batemans arrived there in early January, but much more pleasant than the weather they had left behind in Michigan Nelson Brumm and Rev. Leonard Putnam of Nashville will attend the Lions Club District Convention at the Ramada Inn in Grand Rapids next Friday and Saturday, April 6th and 7th.

Wednesday, April 4. 1979 — Page 3 Memories of the past . . by Susan Hinckley Although all roads may have led to Nashville, the village did not know the luxury of brick-paved streets for nearly fifty years following its incorporation and, in some instances, portions of major municipal thoroughfares did not afford “smooth sailing’’ for motorists until middepression years. One early step in the right direction, toward advancing the growth of Nashville, was construction of a iron truss bridge to span the Thor- Nashville News continued— £&N$ ASiS w S^‘ss ?MS *?iM *5S*\ hjsSe hjsSfe hjSf 22S:^S?

A scrumptious smorgasboard dinner at a local resort highlights the festivities and is widely attended by community residents. For Mrs. Putnam, whose father lives at South Haven, the occasion is a pleasant opportunity to renew acquaintances with many hometown friends. Some complaints are being received about dogs running loose, which seems to be a perennial problem. Village residents are reminded to observe the local ordinance governing control of dogs and forbiddng them to be allowed to run at random. The law not only provides protection for the property of others, but may very well save lives of family pets that run haphazardly through village street and highways. A second tour of Putnam Public Library, under the guidance of library historian Mrs. Jane Shoup, will be conducted next Monday evening, April 9th, at 7 p.m. as part of the monthly meeting of the new “Friends of the Library” group. Anyone interested in aiding the promotion of our local library is invited to join the tour and learn about the goals of the “Friends” organization. Carroll (“Pete”) and Joyce Lamie of Nashville returned home last Thursday evening after a three-weeks visit with son Roger, his wife Margaret, .and two children at Ft. Belvoir, Virginia.

Main Street, Nashvi|le nappie River on North Maia “The new bridge is ex­ pected here this week and will be installed as soon as the weather is right,” reported the Nashville News during the first week of May 1899. Apparently the weather was right. Editor-publisher Orno Strong commented in the same issue: “Not for years "has the locality had such an early spring. Grass is three weeks ahead of last year and all crops about the same. Everything points toward a good summer.” And in Nashville it was a good summer. The new iron i bridge replaced an old wooden crossing located to the south­ west of the present-day bridge site - amajor move, but not the only one, in developing Nashville’s potential. Communication' facilities were also been improved for the village in the spring of 1899. “Poles are going up rapidly for the Citizens . Telephone line being strung from Hastings,” the News reported in May. “The line is coming to Nashville by way of Thornapple Lake, Morgan and along the road east to Price’s corner.” The old line running from Nashville to Hastings had been purchased by John LakeTwho planned to use the poles and wire for fencing on his farm. Perhaps Lake also benefited indirectly from his purchase. Five years later, in 1904, the News announced they were printing the new telephone directory for the Citizens Telephone Company with the comment, “You will note a great increase in the number of telephones, particularly among far­ mers.” Although the village “made do” with graveled streets until nearly its half­ century mark, early upkeep was no picnic. In the mld1870’s, Editor Strong noted that South Main was being graded, hopefully adding that perhaps “village fathers might find enough money by spring to install a little gravel.” Funding was apparently not the only problem facing village fathers in their street improvement projects. “Last Saturday was in­ deed a trying day for law abiding people in Nashville,” Editor Strong observed in a mid-1870’s report “When the street paving gang paid off at noon, the workers, almost without exception, headed for the saloons, and by mid-afternoon the business district was a desgraceful sight. Curly Matthews, who is in charge of the stone laying, engaged in a bloody fight with a big Finn who is employed as a sawyer in Smith’s yards and there was a dozen lesser fights.” “Three members of the Village council met in­ formally and routed out the marshal, who made five arrests during the early evening. All five were jailed overnight, released on Sunday and fined five dollars a piece on Monday mor­ ning,” Strong concluded. The “paving” referred to by Strong was apparently nothing more than a stone laying project and, such difficulties notwithstanding, the village fathers decided in In a 1906 photo, Nashville’s North Main Street winds its way through an 1899 truss bridge across the Thornapple River. Although the village's business district was paved with brick in 1917, this stretch of road remained gravel until a 1934 NRA project replaced the iron span with concrete.

We’re proud of our Spartan players—people like them make our state Number 1! ~ Minimum Wage—The state minimum wage of $2.90 an hour now applies to those employers who have two or more employees and to those workers 65 and older. Before, the minimum-wage law covered only firms with 4 or more workers and excluded over-65’s. New Jobs—Recent figures show that 1978 was a record year for new Michigan investment under 1974’s Plant Rehabilitation Act: over $2 billion of new investment was generated and a total of 45,000 jobs were created or retained due to its incentives. Summer Comp?—The Court of Appeals has ruled that a state law which bars school employees from collecting unemployment benefits during summer months is constitional. The court said this policy of denying benefits when employees traditionally do not work is justified by the nontypical character of school employment and the limited financial resources of schools. Diesel Buses—The number of Michigan’s 530 school districts that use one or more diesel buses is now at 4 percent (20) and growing. Diesels are gaining in popularity not only because they save up to 50 percent on fuel, but also because they need less maintenance. Pot Penalty—Some campus communities have local or­ dinances on use of marijuana and alcohol which are less strict than state law, with some setting only a $5 fine for those offenses. Now the Court of Appeals has ruled that people charged under such local laws can also be charged under state statutes, since those laws always take precedence over local ones. Energy Info—The State Energy Administration estimates that some 50,000 Michigan families could save 20 to 30 percent of home heating and cooling energy by following suggestions of Project Conserve.

On the evening of March 9th, 28 of our group traveled AMA publishes list of Doctors looking for a place to practice — Chicago Does your communtiy need a doctor? Good news: You’ll find some 5,076 listings of physicians looking for a new place, to practice in the latest edition of Physician Placement Register, just published by the American Medical Association. The body of the Register, 114 pages, consists of capsule resumes of all physicians who have registered with the AMA’s Physician Placement Service. The 67-page index makes it easy to find the physicians who are in­ terested in practicing in your part of the country and your size of community. Further information about any of the listed doctors can be obtained by filling out a simple form, included in the Register, and mailing if to the Placement Service. A national clearinghouse, the Physicians’ Placement Service has been helping physicians and “openings” find each other since 1944. More than 9,00o requests form communities, organizations, and physicians were processed by the Placement Service last year. And the Placement Service mailed out more than 59,000 detailed resumes and descriptions of openings in response to those requests. Physicians who have registered with the Placement Service receive a 126-page listing of currently Revenue: Castleton Township *6,000.00 Maple Grove Township ....................................... 6,000.00 Village of Nashville ................................. 6,000.00 Kalamo Township 1,200.00 Refund from Burnham & Flower Agency (Ins.) ................ 53.60 Refund from Spartan Motors (Federal Excise Tax) 2.00 .

Edward Rhoades talked to us one day .with many interesting reminiscences from his childhood, pointing out how many years good memories linger; how people are prone to remember more of the finer experiences from life available openings for physicians. The latest listing contains 5,178 entries. A physician can obtain further information about any of the openings from the Placement Service. “Most of the current openings for doctors, that we know of, are neither in small, rural communities nor large cities,” says Daniel K. Harris, director of the Physicians’ Placement Service, “Our average registration is from a community about the size of a medium suburb, around 25,000 to 35,000 people.” “Fewer than 8 percent of registrations are from communities of under 2,500 people and less than 11 percent are from cities with over 500,000 population. To receive a copy of the Physician Placement Register, a community or organization must first register its opening (or openings) for a physician with the Placement Service, Harris explains. “We cannot guarantee that the latest edition of the Register has the right doctor for any given community. But we update the Register quarterly, and each edition always contains several hundred new entries. “And, of course,” he adds, “we will be happy to con­ tinue providing new editions of the Register until the community’s or organization’s need has been filled.” *2,065.24 TOTAL ASSETS: *2,065.24 Liabilities A Fund Balances: Accured Payroll Taxes Fund Balance ................................. , *394.23 1,671.01 TOTAL LIABILITIES 8 FUND BALANCE: *2,065.24 Fund Balance *1,671.01 as of 3/31/79 GENEVA BRUMM, TrMsarsr Caitltton Township Restricted Fin Fend .^-X^X^X^X^X^X^-X^X^X^X^X^X^X^X^X^X^K^X^M., WE WILL BE CLOSED April 13,1979 from , . 12 Noon to 3 P.M. in observance of Good Friday.

Memories of the past (cont. from pg. 3) pleted by October 22, 1917. The Ironside brick, brought to Nashville from Terre Haute, Ind., for the job, sustained the village’s Main Street traffic for the next 32 years. In the summer of 1949 another crew of workmen, this time from Globe Con­ struction Co. of Kalamazoo, spread two applications of bituminous aggregate over the old brick pavement, making a smooth 3-inch thick top covering.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Vol. 105, No. 47, April 11, 1979 Area citizens gather for ‘town hair meeting with Wolpe Discussion of the national energy crisis consumed much of Saturday’s “Townhall Meeting” with U.S. Rep. Howard Wolpe (DDelta). as nearly fifty area citizens gathered at Castleton Township Hall in Nashville to offer input sought by the newly-elected Third District Congressman. The event was the eleventh such meeting Wolpe has conducted in his district during the past two months. Acting as a sounding board for a variety of man-on-thestreet problems, Wolpe made notes and responded to numerous individual, communtiy, and national problems in thetwo-hour session. Wolpe toldthegroup he instituted the townhall meetings to establish con­ tinuing communications between his constituents and himself. He said he wanted to be able to discuss citizen’s problems with them “faceto-face” felt people in his district should not have to write or call Washington, D.C., to reach him.

The congressman fielded questions on many subjects Saturday, but the primary issue seemed to center on President Carter’s Thursday evening energy message and the recent mishap at the Three Mile Island nuclear plant at Harrisburg, Penn. Wolpe said he was very disappointed with Carter’s energy message, citing what he feld would be “incredibly higher petroleum prices” placing a “burden on middle­ income folks”, while oil companies made higher profits. “And nuclear power is not the answer,” contended Wolpe, who feels the real danger is that we do not know how to safely dispose of nuclear waster. Wolpe sees the Three-Mile Island disaster as sort of a blessing in disguise. “We have seen the potential (hazard), now we can do something about it,” he explained. Wolpe believes that energy problems are political, not technological. He said we have the knowledge and research available for alternative sources. “But how do we challenge the power that is making Conf. pg. 6 — Some of the approximately 50 persons who attended the Town Hall Meeting Castleton Township Hall, Saturday, are shown as they listen to Third District Con­ gressman Howard Wolpe.

Vermontville farm designated as State Centennial Farm A farm owned by Curtis and Alberta Rockafellar Route Nft 1, Allegan Road. Vermontville, Michigan has been designated as a Cen­ tennial Farm by the Division of Michigan History. The farm, located in Chester Township, Eaton County, has been in the possession of the ■ family since 1877. It was originally purchased August 10,1877 by Charles Dean, grandfather of the present owner, from Peter Garrett. Secretary of State Richard H. Austin, whose Depart- ment administers the Centennial Farm program, said the program was inaugurated in 1948. SiiiCc then, more than 3000 Michigan farms have been certified as Centennial Farms. Certificates are provided by the Divsion of Michigan History. Large metal markers are provided by the Detroit Edison and Con­ sumers Power Companies. Explains Austin, “A Centennial Farm is one which has been in the con­ tinuous possession ofthe same family for 100 years or more.” For this purpose, the jr gan History Divsion jffirfMgan considers a farm to be either 10 or more acres having estimated farm - product sales of more than $50 yearly, or less than 10 acres having estimated sales of at least $250 yearly. A cen­ tennial farm comprises only the land and not the farm buildings, which may be remodeled or even new. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, April 11, 1979— Page 2 Nashville News Violent snow squall blasted Nashville and vicinity last Thursday night and Friday, with wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour dropping temperatures to a 25-below-zero chill index. Power outages were reported throughout a widespread area of Michigan but, at the time of this report, had not affected local residents. Incullement weather and flight problems caused by an airlines strike did not prevent Mrs. Larry (Suzy) Corkwell, daughters, Becky and Lisa, and friend, Cindy Elliston, of Nashville from enjoying a recent 8 day trip to Colorado Springs to visit Suzy’s sister, Sheryl West, and her children, Scott and Julie. Bad weather delayed the flight from Grand Rapids west, and a power outage at the airport in Colorado hampered landing, requiring the plane to set down some distance out on the runway. Then, United Airlines em­ ployees struck and return tickets home were finally ob­ tained through TWA, but only with provisions to bring the travelers as far as Chicago. When they arrived Thursday night at O’Hare Airport there, high winds had delayed landings and forced the TWA plane to circle for an hour. Mrs. Gloria Johncock and son, Doug, of Nashville were waiting to greet the weary travelers. However, an enjoyable stay with Sheryl at her residence near the “Garden of the Gods” at the base of the mountains had made the travel troubles worthwhile. Surprisingly, eleven-and-a-half inches of snow fell on Colorado Springs in three hours time Monday, snarling traffic as the area has no snow removal equipment and motorists lack winter driving skills. But by early Tuesday, “Mother Nature” had taken care of the problems. A warm sun had melted all the snow in the streets. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce will meet at 7:00 p.m. Wednesday, April 11th, for a dinner at the Steakhouse Restaurant. Mrs. Ahmo Jordan is in charge of reservation. Steam rolled from Nashville’s Sugar Shanty in Putnam Park for the last time this year as Harold Christiansen and Nelson Brumm completed the final boiling last Tuesday morning. Cleanup work began the same day, with storage tanks and pipes being flushed, and Wednesday, the two men washed the pans and evaporator. The 1979 season netted approximately 525 gallons of syrup for the Nashville Syrup Association, according to Geneva Brumm, secretarytreasurer of the organization. Allocation of the proceeds will be computed next month by Mrs. Brumm, who has the responsibility of dividing the profits among the various organizaitons participating in the community-wide project. She must first tally expenses, which will include the cost of 800 new sap buckets added this year. The community syrupmaking project is a tradition started in 1942 at the urging of • Len W. Feighner, longtime editor and publisher of the Nash­ ville News. Feighner first suggested the idea during World War I, as an alternative for sugar which was scarce and expensive. WhenWorldWar II came on the scene, along with sugar rationing, some local civic-minded citizens took Feighner’s advice and the community syrup project was born. Since that humble beginning, syrup making in Nash­ ville had evolved and expanded to become a major springtime event. Proceeds from the annual production have benefited many civic projects in the community. Get Your...

Clarence and Hazel Spidel returned home to Nashville last week after a months stay at Vero Beach, Florida, and Hazel, who works at the local post office, is sporting a beautiful tan. The Spidels enjoyed daily walks on the beach with sunny skies and warm weather, mostly in the 70 degree range. They had rain only a couple of nights. While the Spidels made Vero Beach their headquarters, several side trips were enjoyed including a tour of Busch Gardens. Petie Latta of Nashville has shown some improvement following recent laser treatment for a detached right retina. A checkup in Grand Rapids last Tuesday revealed that she has regained increased vision in the eye, and will probably not require surgery as had first been thought. Petie expects to be offwork a bit longer for recuperation. Jennifer and Jimmy Merritt, children of Jerry and Pat Merritt of Marshall, spent several days of their spring vacation last week visiting their grant-grandmother, Mrs. Edna Gibbons of Nashville. Celebrating their 75th wedding anniversary on April 20th will be former Nashville residents, Rev. and Mrs. Lloyd Mead of St. Petersburg, Florida. Both the Meads are 95 years of age and not in good health. He is a brother of Mrs. Clarence (“Bunny”) Shaw of Nashville and was a former Methodist pastor here and at Barryville. For folks who might wish to send congratulations to the Meads, their address is 2701 52nd Way, North. Their zip code in St. Petersburg is 33710. The Nashville Garden Club met last Tuesday at the home of Mrs. Will (Beth) Suntken of Nashville. Program booklets outlining the organization’s planned activities for the year were distributed to members, who were meeting for the first time since December. Mrs. Robert Barnhart demonstrated the art of painting on cloth with tube paints and provided material so the ladies could try their hand at the craft of liquid embroidery. Tea committee for the event was Mrs. Esta Day and Mrs. Nellie Moon. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Horn of Nashville have moved into the former David Ackett home on Middle Street. The Ackett family has moved north of town on Clark Road, near Bayne. The Horns previously resided on Fuller Street. Gerald Shoup of Nashville spoke to the Bellevue Historical Society last Thursday evening, at a special dinner meeting held at the Bellevue Public Library. Shoup’s collection of antique bottles was the subject of his presentation. Mrs. Homer (Tecla) Snow entertained members of the UShare-It-Extension Club at her home Friday, March 23rd, for a home-cooked Italian dinner. Ten members were present for the event, which was followed by the month’s lesson pertaining to cosmetics. Tecla, a native of Italy, would like readers to know about a new Italian organization that has recently been revitalized in Battle Creek. Called “Club Italia”, the group presently has approximately 150 members and is seeking other in­ terested individuals. Club membership is open to Italian natives and descendants. Goals of the organization, which meets monthly, will include conducting classes in Italian language andjcooking; participating in Battle Creek’s an­ nu “Ethnic Festival nual v ”; and other family y activities, v , such u as old-fashioned Italian picnics in the summertime. A dinner meeting of the new group was held the last Saturday in March at the Rosario Supper Club in Battle Creek. An Italian dinner was followed by native musical talent, including vocal and accordian selections by club members. Tecla enjoyed the opportunity of meeting several Battle Creek area residents who, like herself, were “war brides” from Italy. Local readers interested in obtaining more in­ formation on “Club Italia” may call Tecla (Mrs. Homer Snow) at her Nashville home. Recent Sunday callers at the home of Mrs. Edith Jones of Nashville were her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. EmeryJones of near Delton, who had just returned to Michigan following a trip to Ruskin, Florida. Several recent donations of books, periodicals and money have been received by Putnam Public Library due to community interest stimulated by recent promotional ef­ forts of the newly-formed “Friends of the Library” group. The most recent donors are Linda Furlong, Mary Hay Raymond Ashcraft, Laurie Kipp, Isabelle Pfaff, Clarence Garvey, Thomas Leonard, Lyle French, Alice Keihl, and Gsorgs B. Dfiaii. The Putiiaui Library staff is most appreciative of all these various donations which will benefit library patrons.

Retiring after thirty years, at General Foods in Battle Creek, Nate Sheldon of Nashville was honored at a special party staged by Building No. 17 employees of the Post division. Workers on all three floors of the building attended the Friday afternoon event, March 30th. Yellow and chocolate cakes, decorated with designs of miniature fish to symbolize Nate’s sporting interests, were served along with ice cream and punch. Nate was presented with a monetary gift from his co-workers and also received a 30-year ring, containing two rubies and a diamond, from General Foods. Prior to the party, Nate had received a special honorary plaque from the general manager of the plant. Readers, please test your memories. Does anyone recall a Merrill Donald McVean who attended school in Nashville and would now be about 65 years old? The whereabouts of McVean is being sought by his daughter, Mrs. Ethel Whitney of Quimby, who has not seen her father in 35 years. Mrs. Whitney was a very small child at that time, and has very little information to aid her in her search. She- knows only that her father was born in 1913 and lived with an aunt in Nashville while he attended school here. Anyone with in­ formation to offer may call this reporter or contact Mrs Whitney at 945-5144. Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville spent a recent weekend -visiting her friend, Mrs. Dorothy Vickers, at Battle Creek and enjoyed attending a wildlife film at the W.K. Kellogg Auditorium there. On Sunday, Mrs. Frederick called on her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Smith of Fair Lake. The Smiths and Verna enjoyed dinner out at a restaurant near Gun Lake. Mr. and Mrs. Lorin Garlinger of Nashville returned last week from a three-weeks trip to Florida where they had the opportunity to call on several friends, including some for­ mer Nashville folks. They visited Frances and Mike Dooley at Estero; Doris and Bruce Randall at Ft. Myers Beach; and Rose and Al Smith at Largo. At Naples, the Garlingers spent two days calling on some retired Naval friends whom they had not seen in 25 years. Lorin retired in 1955 as a Lt. Commander in the U.S. Navy after 23 years of service, so a stop at Mobile to tour the U.S.S. Alabama, which is perper­ manently docked there, was of particular interest to the Garlingers. Crossing the Everglades in Florida was another interesting experience. Despite congested traffic along the route, the Garlingers were able, to view swamp-buggy races iin progress. Large crowds of spectators had congregated near the roadway to watch the competition, as the machines soared across the waters of the Everglades.

The men were released about half an hour later, the story continued. If commercial, industrial, and municipal expansion were not enough to intirgue residents in 1906, the village also experience a phenomenon new to it that autumn. “Nashville went through the throes of its first labor strike this week,” the News revealed in early September. The incident involved a water main across the Thornapple River which was being taken apart and l lowered to prevent its freezing during severe winter weather. The un­ dertaking was apparently quite an extensive operation, even to the point of leaving the village without water for fire protection for two days. At any rate, the workers obviously wearied of the situation. “Street Com­ missioner Bill Woodward was working on the water main job on the river Monday when some of his laborers, who were drawing $2.50 per day, announced they would quit work unless they were promised $3.50 per day.

However, the local firemen advised n were enroute the situation was under control and returned to their station. During the afternoon, about 3:30 p.m., an alarm was sounded for a chimney fire at the Richard Brodbeck residence on Moore Road, north of town. The stack on a wood-buring kitchen ranged burned out, charring the kitchen ceiling. The firemen dismantled and cleaned the chimney, and advised the owner it was unsafe.. Thursday evening, during blustery wind squalls, the Nashville firefighters were summoned to the Chester Beardslee Beardslee residence, residence, a nursing-care home located south of town on Maple Grove Road. A chimney had blown down in the 60-mile per hour gusts, causing smoke to blow back into the house. With the smoke ceare, cleared, the e firemen re again returned to base.

(4-10) Action Ads BATTLE The old Hosmer School on M-66, most recently known as the Castleton Country Club, has been sold to John Matter of Nashville and the proceeds have been donated to the Nashville Fire Department and the Castleton-Maple GroveNashville Ambulance Ser­ vice. The decision to donate the proceeds of the sale to the two departments was made by the country club board of directors and members who were present at a recent meeting. Checks of $500 each were presented to the depart­ ments last week. Matter, who purchased the club building, already owns property which adjoins the former schoolhouse and plans to use it as an access to his land. The old schoolhouse, located about-two and onefourth miles north of Nash­ ville, was purchased in 1953 from the Nashville School District and used as a clubhouse for a variety of social activities. The late Dr. O.O. Matter was the founder of the Castleton Country Club. Shares in the club were sold to various individuals and the building and grounds were the scene of community gatherings, farm meetings, dances, picnics, and 4-H meetings. The club has been inactive in recent years and last year an effort was made to reorganize the club to dispose of the building before it was sold for taxes, ac­ cording to one of the original members. Present members of the club’s board of directors are Gerald Matter (son of the founder of the club), president; John Moore, vice president; Nadine Garlinger,' secretary; Ceylon Garlinger, treasurer; and John Matter (also a son of the founder), trustee.

The couple operated Mac’s Grocery in Vermontville for 25 years. Over the years, Mac en­ joyed playing Santa Claus during the holiday season in­ Hastings, Vermontville, Nashville, and Charlotte. His visits as jolly ole St. Nick took him to area nursing homes too. In February of 1960, Mac was nearly killed in an ac­ cident when a tree, fell on him. Mac was cutting trees, working with family and friends, to raise money to sponsor Christmas parties for area children.

He said in a committee vote a few weeks prior to the Three-Mile Island incident, he cast the only vote against approval of the nuclear power budget. Wolpe maintained the money used on nuclear research could be used to develop agriculturally-based energy sources, such as gas-ahol. Several farmers present at the meeting advocated research that could put grain crops into alcohol production for energy sources. “We must build com­ petition into the energy business," Wolpe concluded. He said the country is moving closer every day to a “class war” because of increased petroleum costs. On the issue of inflation, Wolpe emphasized that the “ “government government sets sets the example,” and they should take a second look at ex­ penditures and cut wastes. A weekly report from— Masons and member of the Vermontville Chamber of Commerce. The McGregors have three children: Robert of Lansing, Richard of Nashville, and Phyllis of Battle Creek. “We should live within our means,” Wolpe commented, but explained that priorities must be set on where the cuts will be made. He pointed out that a balanced budget would add to the national unemployment rate; and that for every 1 percent rise in unemployment,, the government loses $20 billion by reduced tax revenues and increased welfare costs. Audience members took a lively part in Saturday’s discussion. Answers to some of their questions await further research by Wolpe and his staff, but the congressman was able to shed light on several topics. He responded to subjects of generall interest and promised personal attention for individual problems. Among issues cited by the audience were: the need for lower rents for senior citizens; concern about increased railroad freight costs, and the current Teamster’s strike; a need for .secondary road im­ provements and a small scale mass-transit system (such as vans) for rural areas; cutting “red tape” on federally-funded municipal projects and simplifying grant requests by villages; concern about the possible termination of Federal Revenue Sharing funds; expediting small business loans; curbing acquisition of large parcels of land by foreign interests; equal rights on income tax rates; tightening of regulations on nuclear power plants; backing alternative-source energy research; improved import-export laws and tariffs on imported com­ modities; concern about aid to Panama; questions about an Eaton County official’s dual status as county commissioner and townshiptax assessor; and, on. a very local level, a proposal for door-to-door mail delivery in Nashville. Questionaires were also circulated among the audience for additional input and future contacts on various issues. Co-chairmen for Satur­ day’s event were Mrs. Dora Nisse of Vermontville and John Boughton of Nashville. State Representative Taxes Due—If you haven’t filed your state income tax form yet, this is the last week you have to prepare it. Both the state and federal income tax forms must be mailed by midnight Monday, April 16; some city income tax forms are due later. , J ' Heating Credits—April 16 is also the deadline for applying for home heating credits. As with prior programs, many senior citizens who qualify for this program have not ap­ applied. The Treasury Department or local Aging Agency can provide details. __ Job Help—The House will soon vote on HB 4137, a Republician-sponsored bill which would help workers who have been exposed to PBB to find other jobs by limiting the potential workers’ comp liability of their new employer for past disabilities. Tax Questions Questions.—The Court of Appeals has ruled that inin­ creased fuel taxes cannot be voted on but that increased weight taxes (license plate fees) can be voted on by the people. A petition drive had asked that both be voted on; the state had argued that neither one is subject to referendum since they are appropriations. Now the case goes to the Supreme Court. Extended Wa.rranty—Now in effect is a new law which requires that when consumers have guaranteed mer­ cchandise which needs repeated service work—a “lemon”they must receive and extended warranty on that product. Extensions occur either when the repair period exceeds 10 days or when it exceeds 10 percent of the warranty period, whichever is less. Choice Cuts—The Director of the Department of Licensing and Regulation has said that one fourth of his department could be abolished or consolidated by the legislature without harm to the public. This would remove unneeded regulation and save about $100,000 a year. Workers* Comp—The Court of Appeals has said that workers’ comp benefits must be reduced by 5 percent each year after the recipient passes age 65 Until benefits reach 50 percent of what was paid at age 65; also, that two thirds of the average weekly wage is the maximum that can be paid. List-Less—The House will soon vote on HB 4116, which would require that the Department of State and any private firm that buys vehicle registration lists must provide motorists with the opportunity to remove their names and addresses from such lists sold by the state. Beer Deregulation?—Governor Milliken has ordered an investigation into the possibility of deregulating “malt beverages” to lower prices and increase competition. This comes in the wake of charges that Michigan’s nonreturnable bottle ban has caused increased beer prices. Citizen Band RADIO REPAIR First class. FCC Licensed Dale Smith (Electron) 4700 N.

Fuel availablility has not been a problem for Florida motorists except near the end of March when monthly allocations were running out. However, Auto Club advises common sense measures of keeping fuel tanks nearly full while traveling this holiday. An Auto Club survey of states along the 1-75 route to Florida turned up no reports of fuel shortages although there will be the usual number of stations planning to close Easter Sunday.. Because this this year year’s’s traditional spring college breaks have been spread over two months, accommodations pressure is not as heavy as last year when Easter and spring school breaks coincided. Michigan’s universities have classes scheduled Easter week, and schools in the East won’t get another break until after the holiday.

Cruise package are very popular this year, with the whole Caribbean area heavily booked, Stanbury reported. It has been a boom year for Florida tourism as well, he noted, because of the airlines’ promotion of cruise packages and discount fares. Eastern and Delta have increased their passenger loads out of Detroit by between 8 arid 17 percent this year. Many of the Florida travelers are first-time airline passengers lured into the skies by the bargain airfares. They are com­ peting with veteran Florida vacationers for motel and hotel accommodations. All of the Disney World hotels were booked for Easter well in advance, but local tourist bureaus say there are still rooms available in the Orlando area withing a 20 mile drive of the Magic Kingdom. In Michigan, an Auto Club survey shows little change from last year in the number of service stations which will be closed Easter Sunday. Most travel in Michigan over Easter weekend will be within 50 miles of motorists’ homes, and peak travel time should be between 6 and 10 p.m. Easter Sunday when families are returning from holiday reunions with relatives and friends. Last year, 14 persons were killed on Michigan highways during the Easter weekend, compared to 13 the year before.

Easter-A Time for Families By Genevieve Millet Landau Director, Hasbro Center for Child Development and Education The celebrations of Easter and Passover, like those of Christmas and Hanukkah, are among the few remaining traditions in our society which has so largely abandoned rituals and symbols. So it is more important than ever that this Season be made a family time, a time when parents and children do things to­ gether a time to share in a variety of ways — the joys and the deeper meanings — of the season. Springtime is the true begin­ ning of the year. Nature is reborn in the spring. For children especially, the lengthening days, the warming spring sunshine, heralds a welcome new world of active out­ door play. Youngsters can get out of the house to do all the active things they have been missing while winter weather limited their activi­ ties, and often kept them indoors. Bicycles, tricycles, wagons, roller skates come out of storage sheds, basements and garages. New games are learned. New territories explored. Some, of these new interests can be beneficially — and painlessly — channeled into programs of regular physical activity. In fact, this is a good time for the whole family to join in a fitness program. Grownups can get into shape by brisk walking and hiking, jogging, playing tennis, exercising. Youngsters seeing their parents shaping' up for spring and summer will be encouraged to follow suit, doing things geared to their own ages and interests. According to the President’s Council on Physical Fit­ ness and Sports, children should get at least one hour of vigorous physi­ cal activity every day. And research shows that children who see their parents exercising are more likely to want to be physically fit themselves. Now is the time to start. Most of the outdoor games that kids like increase their coordination and strengthen their muscles without 'making a pressured, organized thing of it. Easter marks more, of course, than the beginning of a new season of sports and outdoor play. The re­ ligious celebrations of Easter and Passover symbolize and reaffirm the values of community life and growth. This is why we give pres­ ents, dress in new and cheerful clothing, prepare festive meals to share with friends and family. Of equal importance are the tasks and responsibilities we share with our children at this time. For children learn their parents’ values by doing, as well as by watching. By doing such simple chores as helping to rake the lawn, planting seeds, taking part in traditional spring cleaning chores, children develop a sense of responsibility and obligation towards property and the natural world. Taking part in such tasks not only teaches values but it’s great fun if everyone pitches in. There are also lots of lovely, special things for parents and chil­ dren to share during the Easter sea­ son. Simple things such as dyeing eggs, searching for new leaves and flowers, spying bird nests all take on new meaning when parents and children do them together. To young children, Easter means presents, new clothes, choco­ late bunnies, Easter eggs and bas­ kets. But the season can be given its deepest meaning by teaching our children and reminding ourselves of the joys Of helping others. You might Wish, for example, to have a collection party so your children and perhaps some of the neighbors’ kids can donate to others, toys or clothing which are no longer needed. Clothes can be gathered and given to agencies which refurbish and distribute them to families who are less fortunate; toys and other possessions can be freshened up and repaired for other youngsters to en­ joy. The Easter season is a time for new beginnings—in physical and emotional fitness and, above all, in caring and sharing.

The Robert Todd’s were in Ohio over the weekend visiting friends. Thought the Townhall meeting at Nashville was great and the turn out good. Not only did Congressman Wolpe inform us, but gave time for our input- and ex­ change of ideas. Guess that’s what Townhall is all about. Need more of this on the local levels with local problems.

Meeting planned to explain parents’ role in sex education With sex education now being implemented in many public schools and through various church programs, parents begin wondering where and how they fit into the picture. The parents role is a difficult one...often uncomfortable, frequenlty confusing, sometimes embarrasing, but never one to be ignored. Dr. Sol Gordon is a noted writer, lecturer and educator, is a professor of Child and Family Studies at Syracuse University in New York. Dr. Gordon feels that “...sex education is not merely providing in­ formation; is is also con­ veying values, standards and attitudes...There is no way a parent can avoid being the principal sex educator of his or her child - whether the parent is open and candid pbout sex, or says nothing at all.” Dr. Gordon’s program will offer insight into parents’ feelings, concerns and un- Maple Valley School LUNCH MENU April 9 Hamburgers, French Fries, Cheese Slice, Com, Pears, Cake, Milk.

The day-long sessions, sponsored by the State Task Force on Consumer Cooperatives, will be held in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Gaylord and Escanaba. “I am excited about a statewide cooperative program to help consumers receive low-cost, highquality service,” Nash said. “There are already some 200 co-ops currently providing food distribution, housing, “• ttj !S JJ^Cta WCt and child care in Michigan, but the new Co-op Bank will be a source of loans for the expansion of existing co-ops and financing for new cooperative ventures.” Nash said co-ops stress reliance on self-help and the ability to provide goods and services at low costs. He added that there are many varied types of co-ops in Michigan, but nearly all are non-profit organizations which are owned and con­ trolled by their members. Nash also believes that cooperatives could play a major role in the restoration of of low-income neigh­ borhoods in Michigan. “Everyone knows that our cities must survive if we are to have a high standard of living statewide,” Nash said. “This program could EATON COUNTY FARM AND HOME CALENDAR APRIL "uCj* "uC **• Mt § § GL w®B8«U hn ttnuitij' ■IBIB If?K f Wj«*n *'!» ■visa Wl®l® mmSSJI ®®iKibb i0ffc^Ww^j ,?v*W Wednesday, April 11—7:30 p.m. 4-H Teen Service Club irieeting, Kardel Hall, Charlotte Fairgrounds.

Heavy industrial areas are balanced by tracts of ancient wilderness; greeen pastures contradict barren sand dunes; and yesterday melds dramatically with today and tomorrow. Travelers soon learn to expect the contrasts. Nevertheless, they are usually somewhat astonished by their first journey into the Copper Country of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. They are en­ veloped by an aura of another time. At practically every turn in the road and crest of a hill, the traveler encounters a sensational view that cannot be hurried past. The four counties that form the region (Ontonago, Baraga, Houghton and Keweenaw) encompass grand forests populated by deer, bear and various other species of wildlife. There are historic landmarks, pic­ turesque waterfalls, hundreds of inland lakes and thousands of miles of streams bordered by the unpredictable waters of Lake Superior.

The base of the “Porkies” is formed by rocks con­ sidered to be among the oldest in the world with a geologic age of more than one billion years. The most scenic route to the Copper Country is from Michigan’s lower Peninsula, across the majestic Mackinac Bridge, then west across the upper peninsula via US - 2 or M-28 to M-64 in the western end of the U.P. M-64 winds north to White Pine, a resurrected copper mining town built in 1952. The colorful history of the White Pine Mine, however, extends over more than a century. The Nonsuch Shale, which contains the White Pine orebody, was officially discovered in 1864 by Frank Cadotte. Mr. Cadotte later sold his interests for a barrel of pork, a barrel of flour and some other grocery items. Porcupine Mountains State Park, northwest of White Pine, is composed of 58,000 acres of primitive forests, secluded lakes and miracles of nature. In the summer the park attracts campers, hikers, nature lovers and those simply seeking a quiet retreat. In winter, it becomes one of the State’s most popular skiing meccas and winter playgrounds. Roughly 15 miles north of the park is historic On­ tonagon. Here, in the 1700’s, French missionaries reported the existence of a 3,000 pound boulder of pure native copper. The On­ tonagon “nugget”, as it is called, is now displayed in the Smithsonian Institue in Washington D.C. South of Ontonagon is the ghost town of Victoria. A relic of the copper boom, Victoria is now being claimed by the surrounding forest, but the spirits of bonanza days cling like early morning mist to the crumbling buildings. The Michigan Mine, another ghost of the copper era, is also in this area. Originally the Minesota Mine, — spelled with one “n” — was reorganized and its name changed in 1872.

It weighed 527 tons and required the labor of 20 men, using long handled chisels, 15 months to separate it from its position. The old Adventure Mine at Greenland in Ontonagon County, offers true ad­ venture to today’s Copper Country traveler. Visitors can follow the long, devious paths of the adit and explore caves and caverns left by the early day miners. Deposits of the reddish-brown ore are visible, here and there, along the walls and ceilings of the mine’s cavities. Geologists say the Adventure’s veins still contain more copper than was ever removed. North, at Houghton, is Michigan Technological University, one of the out­ standing engineering universities in the country. The annual Michigan Tech Winter Carnival is a unique event that attracts visitors from all parts of the nation. Here too, the Portage Lake Bridge connects Houghton with the Keweenaw penin­ sula across the Portage Canal. This structure is the largest of its kind in America with a vertical lift center span that raises the roadway to a height of 100 feet to allow Great Lakes ore carriers to pass beneath. Across the bridge, at Hancock, is Suomi College founded in 1896. It is the only college level education in­ stitution founded by Finns outside their European homeland. Just east of hancock, at Ripley, Copper Country travelers can tour the Arcadian Mine, get a first hand look at the tools and methods employed to extract the red metal during the 19th century boom days. Further north is the centenarian Calumet and Hecla mine, whose shafts burrowed more than a mile into the earth. Once the monarch of the area, the shaft houses now stand silent and rusting. And the village of Calumet, once thriving and sophisticated, urban Nashville cub scouts plan breakfast The Nashville Cub Scouts are having a Parent-Son Breakfast, April 21 at the V.F.W. Hall.

Immortals such as, Lillian Russell, Sarah Bernhardt, Maude Adams, Caruso and Douglas Fairbanks. John Philip Sousa and his band played the Calumet on more than one occasion. Past Calumet, town makers identify Ahmeek, Mohawk, Helltown and Cliff, mute and aging witnesses to a flourishing, bustling time past. Still further north, the traveler has a choice of scenic routes around the Keweenaw Peninsula. One follows the twisting, rocky shoreline and the other­ Brockway Mountain Drive­ runs along the sheer cliff edge of the Keweenaw Fault, rising some 740 feet above the waters of Lake Superior. The highways terminate at Fort Wilkins State Park. The Fort has been restored to apeear as it did when it was built and garrisoned in 1844. The heritage of the “Cousin Jacks” (the early miners from Cornwall, England) and the rugged Finns contributes geatly to the individuality of the region. Add remnants of the nation’s early history, the color of a booming mining era, a profusion of ancinet pines, white birches and wild thimbleberries and you have Michigan’s Copper Country, a perfect place to discover an unforgettable vacation.

(At right) Connie Keehne (left) receives her award as a new director from R.D. Hagen, senior director. March 17, 1979 will be forever etched in the mind of Connie Keehne of Nashville. That is the day Connie became director of her Mary Kay Beauty Consultant unit. ‘Service You Can Count On’ The unit, named “Connie’s Butterflies’\ met at the Middle Villa Inn in Mid­ dleville to attend a workshop and see Connie receive her award and become director. Directors from all over southern Michigan, Virginia, and Indiana came to talk and help out at the debut and workshop. The workshop consisted of different groups talking about motivation, attitude, 329 W. Mill Street — Hastings, Michigan 49058 Telephone: (616) 945-4493 Land Fill Open Tues. & Sat. 9 to 5 money management, sharing the opportunity, booking skills and more. Mary Kay Ash started her company on the policy of the “Golden Rule”. She also built her company with her beauty consultants reaping the highest benefits possible. Promotion must be ear­ ned. They cannot be bought. The ultimate promotion is directorship. A director must have at least twentytwo qualified or active consultants to become a unit, thus a director. When Connie Keehne received her directorship the senior director, R. D. Hagen from Virginia, presented it to her. She likened the unit debut to “a birth”. She went on to say, “Debut is an ac­ cumulation of months of endeavors.” Other directors present were Linda Whitesell and her husband, Tom from Marshall, Wendy Willoughby and her husband, George from Diamondale, Dee Barrows of Grand Rapids, Judy Kawiecki of Midland, and Gwen Sherman from Elkhart, Indiana. All helped in the presentation of the award and formal in­ troduction of their unit. Each gave a word or two about what the company meant to them. Most believe that,“It’s must the begin­ ning.” Each woman grows with the company at her own pace. It’s not only personal growth but spiritual growth as well. As Mary Kay says, “God comes first, family second, career last.” At the formal dinner that night several beauty con­ sultants were awarded tote bags, money totes, pins, rings, and ribbons for their work as consultants and recruiters. Connie was also presented with a gift from her unit. It consisted of planters, pic­ tures, and butterflies for her wall decor. As director, Connie Keehne, will be recognized at the annual seminar in Dallas, Texas in April. This is also a workshop but consists of 8,000 women gathering for motivation and I recognition for their efforts throughout the year. It’s “an accumulation of months of endeavors.” Take Advantage of..> Pre-Season Planning ORDER YOUR R SEED • FERTILIZER • CHEMICALS Bulk Fertilizer Spreaders Available FERTILIZER! 12-12-12 6-24-24 8-32-16 14-14-14 POTASH...0-0-60 Notice Maple Valley men’s slow pitch soft ball.

Thursday's show played to a full house at Fuller Street School in the Maple Valley School System and was precede’d by a similar program at Kellogg School. The lesson was part of an overall effort on Smith’s part to acquaint kinder­ garten through sixth grade students with the hazards faced when bicycling. Also included with the bike safety presentation are some precautions to be taken when approached by strangers.

(Maple Valley News photos) �Th* Maple Volley Newi, Nashville. Wednesday. April 18. 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News By coincidence, several Nashville folks happened to be in Chicago April 5th, the day fierce snow squalls blew across our section of the country. Mrs. Clara Pennock and Mrs. Edna Edwards had gone down to the city for the day, on a shopping excursion sponsored for the benefit of the Shriners’ Crippled Children’s Hospital. They were part of a group of thirty women and children who left Battle Creek at 8 a.m. to spend the day at Wood Field Mall in Chicago. The shoppersfrom Hastings, Nashville, Grand Rapids and Battle Creekenjoyed browsing and buying in a variety of shops and lunched at Marshall Field Seven Arches Restaurant there. By the time the group was prepared to leave for home, the storm was underway. The tour bus swayed in ferocious wind gusts but arrived safely in Battle Creek at 9 p.m. with no serious consequences. Clara and Edna then faced the eerie task of driving back to Nashville, but made it home without mishap. Delayed by Thursday’s storm was Kathy Kelley, daughter of the Max Kelleys of Kelley’s Variety Store in Nashville. She had been in Chicago on business and was in a downtown Chicago tower when the storm struck in the early afternoon. Kathy could bear the tall building creaking in steady blasts of wind. Leaving the city by Amtrack, she was delayed enroute when the train encountered power lines downed by heavy squalls. The train was held up over an hour while the tracks were cleared, and it swayed in the fierce wind gusts while at a standstill, Kathy reports. Some local folks were in the “windy city” for the duration of the storm. They were Mrs. Elaine Powers, her daughter Maryellen, and Mrs. Lillian Maurer. THe trio had been staying in Chicago, enjoying a three-day shopping vacation while Maryellen was on spring holiday from school, and were downtown in the Sears Tower when the storm began. All night Thursday their motel on Lakeshore Drive was buffeted by winds whipping off Lake Michigan, with gusts reported up to 90 miles per hour. Elaine stayed awake the entire night. The storm had subsided somewhat by the time they were ready to leave for home the next day and, enroute by Amtrack, they noticed a great deal of debris lying on the ground. Taking in the sights during a recent three-day stay at Dearborn were Dave and Rosalie Murphy, and their daughter Cinda, of Nashville. Highlights of the trip included a day-long excursion through Greenfield Village, with plenty of time to chat with craftsmen and guides in the various historical buildings located there. Another day was spent in touring the Henry Ford Museum. The Murphys also enjoyed a visit to the Dearborn neighborhood where Dave had lived several years of his childhood during World War II. Enroute home, the Murphys stopped at Michigan State University in East Lansing to visit the rest of the family: son Les, a sophomore; and son and daughter-in-law, Jeff and Rae Murphy, and their baby daughter, Katherine. Jeff and Rae live on campus at MSU where he is currently in his senior year. . Fire sirens sounding in Nashville and throughout Barry County signaled a tornado warning THursday night, but itt turned out to be a false alarm.

CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT 852*9192 Nashville niiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiuiiiiininiiiiiiiiiiniiiiniiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiini; confusion cleared sometime later, it appeared that the similarity between the names of two Michigan counties had caused the scare. Reportedly, a Barry County Sheriffs Dept, dispatcher mis-interrpreted a report of a tornado sighted in “Berrien County” as “Barry County” and broadcast the emergency message. Neither a watch or warning were ever issued that night for Barry County, although a severe thunderstorm warning did go into effect a few hours later. The Nashville Village Council decided Thursday not to participate in Michigan’s annual “Mayor Exchange” day, which would have paired our village with Diamondale for a May 21st “swap” of village officials. High costs, plus the small benefit for the large amount of energy expended on the project, influenced local officials to turn thumbs down on the proposed exchange. Protocol in the past has called for hosting two meals, usually a luncheon and dinner, for visiting dignitaries. Local officials generally agreed the event was more of a social affair than an opportunity for learning, as was originally intended when the event was instituted as the traditional “kick-off’ for the state’s annual “Michigan Week” celebration. Leon Firth, head of Nashville’s DPW, was at Gull Lake last week for a two-day seminar on waste water treatment He attended classes in preparation for writing his state exam in May to earn a Waste Water Plant Operator’s cer­ tificate. Bill and Eva Hamptom of rural Nashville returned last week from a ten-day trip to Florida where they enjoyed temperatures reaching 100 degrees while visiting Bill’s brother, the Norman Hamptons, residents of Grand Ledge who have been wintering at Silver Springs. The Hamptons enjoyed a trip to Disney World at Orlando and on the 'way back to Michigan, spent a weekend touring Nashville, Tenn. A bus excursion of the city and a visit to Opryland highlighted their two-day stay there. Bill and Eva arrived home amid our recent weekend ice storm, which was quite a jolt after the warm sunshine in the southland. The Women’s Literary Club will meet Wednesday evening, April 18th, at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Lynch, which represents a change from previous plans for the month. The annual meeting of the organization has also been rescheduled for tomorrow’s meeting, after being postponed earlier this winter. A “silent auction” of homemade crafts and baked goods will be staged Wednesday evening as a fund raiser for the club. Members are asked to bring items, not to exceed $3. in value, for display on a large table. Members and guests may then submit written bids on each item, with all “goodies” going to the highest bidders. Tea committee for the 7:30 p.m. event is Mrs. Olith Hamilton and Mrs. Marge Wolff. _^Don’t forget the 50-50 cash drawing, April 27th, sponsored by the newly-reorganized Nashville Jaycess as a fund­ raising project. Tickets are available from any member or at the Mirror’s Image for a $1 donation each. The winner will split the jackpot, with the other half used for community service projects by the Jaycees. Golfing on the famous Tanglewood course at Winston Salem, North Carolina, was a highlight of a recent trip by Mr. and Mrs. Ted (Clara) Spoelstra, daughter Cara; and Mr. and Mrs. Richard (Sandy) Kohfeldt, and daughter Shelley. The journey south, via motor home, took them to Clemens, a suburb of Winston Salem, for a visit with Richard’s parents, the Robert Kohfeldts. After several days of sightseeing, golfing, and shopping, the vacationers headed for home by way of Gatlinburg, Tenn. There, they spent a day touring the town, visiting a wax museum, and taking a tram excursion up the mountain to view the Smokeys from a space needle. Good weather was enjoyed throughout the week-long trip, with temperatures near 80 in the south. Volunteers Raymond Ashcraft and Allan Meehan, as part of a “Friends of the Library” project, will help Putnam Public Library personnel move reserve reference copies of National Georgraphics from a storage area on the second floor to the Periodicals Room in the basement of the library. THe move is underway this week. Jane Shoup, library historian and staff member, concon­ ducted a second tour of the library last Monday evening, for the April 9th meeting of the “Friends of the Library”. During the business meeting, members of the newly-formed organization discussed upcoming projects Jo benefit and promote the local library. A nice, reminiscing letter from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin, shed some light on our recent “Memories” story of Nashville’s early street-paving projects. The story recounted a mid-1870’s Saturday afternoon brawl instigated by the “street paving gang” with the chief culprit being the man in charge of “stone-laying.” Since Nashville’s Main Street was not paved until 1917, arid then only with brick, we were uncertain what the “paving” represented. Meade’s letter explains; stones were layed to form paving along each side of the street where the horses stood when tied to hitching posts along the sidewalks up and down Main Street. “It was quite a sight to see all the horses and wagons or buggies, and sometimes surreys, parked along Main Street on a busy Saturday.” The center of the street was not paved at that time, and Meade recalls a sprinkler wagon that went up and down the street “laying the dust.” Meade also remembers the first paving of Main Street, which included installation of solid concrete lamp posts (in the center of the street) at every intersection “I hitt one once iin a rainstorm with my Dad’s Model-T Ford and later did most of the work fixing the front end (of the auto) at Joe Hurd’s garage,” writes Meade. (Hurd’s Garage was the subject of an earlier “Memories” feature.) Thanks to Mr Meade for taking time to share his memories of the past with others. • Nationally-known gospel singer Billy Spear will perform By Susan Hinckley at the 7 p.m. worship service at the Nashville Baptist Church, Sunday, April 22nd. The Education Committee of the United Methodist Church is set for 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 18th, to be followed by a 7:30 p.m. meeting of the Board of Trustees. Both will be held at the church. The Builders Class of the United Methodist Church will meet Wednesday, April 25th, at 8:00 p.m. The event, to be held at the Community House, will be hosted by Richard and Feme Green; and Karl Pufpaff will be in charge of the program for the evening. The Nashville Nutrition Site Senior Citizens will meet for a special evening potluck dinner at the Masonic Temple at 6 v p.m. Thursday, April 19th. Entertainment for the event will be furnished by square dancers from the Bud’s Duds group, under the direction of Bud Gillaspie of Vermontville. A noon potluck dinner at the V.F.W. Hall is scheduled for the Nashville Senior Citizens club, Wednesday, April 18th. Musical entertainment will be supplied by students from the high school. Enjoying a family get-together and dinner at the Spa Steakhouse in Battle Creek last week Monday were: Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Lamie; Mr and Mrs. Dewey Jones; and Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Lamie and children of Nashville; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones of Battle Creek; and T-Sgt and Mrs. Roger Lamie and children, recently of Ft. Belvoir, Virginia. The event honored the visit of the Roger Lamies to Michigan to visit friends and relatives. U.S. Air Force T-Sgt. Roger Lamie, a Nashville native and NHS graduate, was in town last week to visit his parents, Carroll and Joyce Lamie; his grandmother, Mrs. Caroline Jones; and his brother and family, the Dennis Lamies. Roger, who has been stationed at Ft. Belvoir, Virginia, was accompanied by his wife, Margaret, and children, Kim and Bobby. The Lamie family was enroute to Colorado Springs where Roger has accepted a new assignment at Peterson Air Force Base. The late Sterling Dellar, featured, in this week’s “Memories” photo and also in the recent 1910 NHS football team story, is fondly remembered by former Nashville native Wayne Fuller, now of Toledo. Seems that Sterling once worked for Fuller’s father on their farm south of town, and even though Wayne was considerably younger lie remembers him well. “Sterling bought me my first pair of overalls when I was quite small,” writes Fuller. He also recalls that STerling was an avid baseball player, in the role of catcher. “A catcher’s mitt in those days was much larger than the one they use now?’ he adds. Sterling, who was a brother-in-law to Melissa (DeBolt) Showatler of Nashville, later lived in Jackson and worked for Michigan Central Railroad. In his recent letter, Fuller also recalls the late Bill Irland (whome some knew as Ray Irland), also a member of the 1910 football team.Irland, whose father Bill ran a local pool hall and short-order restaurant, eventually married LaDore Henderson, a teacher at Nashville High School who went on to teach at Michigan State College. Fuller, who is a distant relative to her by marriage, is unsure whether LaDore is still living. Thanks to Mr. Fuller for sharing his memories. We were very sorry to hear of the death last Wednesday of Mrs. Charles (Cecile) Betts, a Nashville native and lifelong resident. Mrs. Betts had been featured in some of our recent “Memories” photos and had been helpful in aiding some past research for our storeis.

Mrs. Doug (Marabelle) Yarger underwent thyroid surgery last Monday at Pennock Hospital. She is recovering very well and, at the time of the report, expected to return home by the end of last week. The Nashville Ambulance Dept, responded to four calls in four consecutive days recently, Saturday through Tuesday. On April 7th, the ambulance was summoned north of town to CoviUe Road to transport a gentleman who was having a seizure to Pennock Hospital. The man was reportedly later transferred to a Kalamazoo hospital for surgery. Sunday, the Nashville ambulance responded to a call at Mead-O-Acres trailer park where Zillah Dahms was suf­ fering an attack following an incident in which a frying pan on her stove caught fire, and she had successfully ex­ tinguished the flames. She was transported to Pennock Hospital for treatment. Monday, the ambulance transported Lawrence Johnson of Gregg Street to Pennock Hospital after he had reportedly become weakened from effects of the flu. And early Tuesday morning, the Nashville ambulance crew was summoned south of town to transport Mrs. Carl (Dolly) Hulsebos to Leila Hospital in Battle Creek. She was apparently suffering symptoms of a stroke, which she had also had in the past, and is currently still hospitalized at this writing. The Nashville police cruiser is currently sporting a bumper sticker which warns motorist, “Drive CarefullyDon’t Feed the Bears.” A variety of cases were handled by the Nashville Police Department in March. A total of 51 complaints were an­ swered, several of the assistance, or service-rendered, type. The local officers responded to two breaking and entering calls; three larcenies from buildings; investigated two suspicious person;s handled one dog bite case; and two sex cases; had three malicious destruction of property com­ plaints; and one furnishing intoxicants to a minor, case. The officers issued one moving violation ticket in March; had six repair and return tickets; and issued ten parking violatibns. Assistance to other departments also kept the Nashville police busy last month. Local officers handled five auto accidents, and rendered help to both Barry and Eaton County Sheriff’s Departments. The complaints in which the Nashville officers aided included a man with a gun; a suspicious vehicle report; and a high speed chase. They also served one subpeona; and rendered assistance to the Nash­ ville Fire Department in March. A total of 2,245 miles were driven by the Nashville Police Department during March, with 275 gallons of gas used. Of that amount, 246 gallons were logged for the Chevy Nova and 29 gallons for the Ford secondary ujit. The Nashville Village Council is currently seeking to dispose of the Ford, advertising for sealed bidsand having the auto on display at village hall. approves new reading series related materials will be used in grades K-6 with additional textbooks and materials being used in some classes in grades seventh and eighth. During this school year and part of the last school year a committee of teachers and ad­ ministrators have been reviewing the reading program and evaluating reading materials. This federal grant provided the school district $8,700 in funds to cover cost of the study and materials. The total cost of the new textbooks and related materials is ap­ proximately 111,000. Mrs. Hildred Peabody presented a report to the board of education regarding enrollments in the various special education programs. She stated that it has been necessary to request a deviation approval from the State Department of Education considering that the enrollment in some classes now exceeds the state guidelines. Because of this increase in enrollment and the number of students expected in these special programs for the 1979-80 school year, she recommended to the board members that an additional teacher (Learning Con­ sultant) be employed for next school year which was approved by the board members. This will enable the school district to have a full time L.D. Consultant at the elementary level and one at the secondary level. The board members ac­ cepted a letter of resignation effective at the end of the current school year from L.D. Consultant, Kristi Holmquist. She has stated that she will be moving to the Minneapolis area. The board members ap­ proved establishing a fund with the high school student council which would operate in relationship to promoting a preventive vandalism program. An example of this would be to place a certain amount of money in the fund which will be set at $1,000 next school year and any vandalism costs for the school year would be deducted from this fund. The possible balance in this fund could be used by the student council for student related projects or programs. The board members approved implementation of this program for the 1979-80 school year along with ap­ proval of a program for the balance of this school year with the amount involved this school year being $200. The board members voted to have Arlene DeCamp and Elam Rockwell present the diplomas at the graduation activities scheduled to be held at Sandyland Park on Saturday, June 2. Nominating petitions have been filed by incumbent Wilbur Marsh, Stanley Smith, Carol Tobias, Eunice Cornish, Virginia Fox, and George Hubka for the two positions that will be open on the board of education July 1. Board member Arlene DeCamp isn’t a candidate for re-election to the board of education. The annual school election will be held on Monday, June 11. General fund bills in the amount of $33,834.73 were approved for payment. The March 23 payroll in the amount of $82,532.27 and the ■ March 30 payroll in the amount Of $77,772.19 were approved for payment and transfer to the payroll ac­ count. Approval was given the payment of the May 1st debt retirement principal, interest, and handling charges in the amount of $59,973.03. The board members ac­ cepted the bid from Darlene’s Studio of Dance and Acrobatics in the amount of $200 for the smaller trampoline. No action was taken relative to the bids submitted on the larger trampoline. Approval was given the purchase of school furniture in the amount of $2,978.55. This will include three folding mobile tables with benches attaced for hot lunch, fifty stacking chairs, three tables, three teacher’s chairs, five files, two carpet savers, one teacher’s desk, and seventy five chairs for usage at the elementary level. A general discussion was held regarding possible revision in the student at­ tendance policy. This matter was tabled and referred back to the discipline policy committee and ad­ ministrators at the Jr.-Sr. High School. Mrs. Sandra Wright was present at the meeting and expressed her concern and desire to have her son let off the vocational bus in Charlotte enabling him to go to work earlier instead of having to ride the bus back to the Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School. She stated that the employer would be responsible for her son as far as transportation. General concensus of the board members was to remain with the present policy which requires the students to ride the bus to and from vocational classes unless permission is given to ride with a parent or parent of a participant This policy will be reviewed prior to the opening of the 1979-80 school year. The board members ap­ proved a resolution allowing the bus supervisor the right to deny transportation privileges to students who misuse bus rules. Such ac­ tion will be for londer periods of suspension from the bus which in the past has been only for a few days. Approval was given the installation of telephones in the locker rooms at the Jr.Sr. High School enabling students a better opportunity to call parents when they return from away athletic events. The board of education members instructed the administrators that the washer and dryer must be installed in the laundry room within one week and the head custodian is to be informed of such action: Failure to complete this work which has been delayed for a period of time will result in a fur­ ther disciplinary action regarding the custodial personnel involved. 1952 FORD FIRETRUCK CHASSIS FOR SALE Fire fighting equipment removed, engine inoperable.

Five cent admission will be charged, “advised the News. It was spring in Nashville. The year was 1906; the second week of May. By the end of that month, the Nashville team would be pitted against out-of-town competition. “A baseball game between Woodland’s fast team and the local team has been arranged for Decoration Day, of Nashville’s new grounds,” revealed a later May issue of the newspaper. The “new grounds” was a ball park built on the banks of the Thornapple River, southwest of the Main Street busriess district. Throughout the summer of 1906, the village team ap­ parently out-slugged their competition. “Nashville’s sensational baseball team played the famed Petoskey team Saturday and beat them 2­ 0,” reported an early-August issue of the News. “Is there a team anywhere that can beat Nashville?” queried the reporter. Baseball was the major sport in Nashville for many years, recalls Dick Mason, who remembers stores passed on by his father, the late “Ab” Mason, a steady player on early village teams. It was not uncommon to see 300 to 400 spectators present at local baseball games, played mostly on Sunday afternoons. In some cases, such scheduling brought disfavor to team members. “Baseball players were considered kind of outlaws because they played on Sunday,” recalls Dick. He remembers his father telling about one local minister who chided the team, seated in a back pew at Sunday morning service, with the comment: “I see some of the eleventhhour boys are here today.” But Sundays were not the only baseball days in Nash­ ville’s early years.

And, occasionally, an unusual competition was staged: “Friday afternoon there will be a baseball game between the married men and the single men of the village,” noted an earlySeptember 1906 News report. Each spring, a baseball association was formed by interested men in the village. “Let everybody who is interested in the great national game be present and help start the ball rolling toward a cracker-jack team here this summer,” urged the News in a 1907 an­ nouncement. Officers were elected at the annual meetings, usually held in early April, and plans were made for the coming season. Competition was lined up. “Arrangements are un­ derway for the organization of a league, including teams from41astings, Freeport, Caledonia, Middleville, Alto, and possibly a couple more towns,” reported the News in April April 1908. Harold (“Fuzzy”) Woodard, a member of Nashville’s 1925 cham­ pionship high school baseball team who later played for, and once managed, the in­ dependent local team, remembers traveling to games at places like Fine Lake and Morrison Lake. He also recalls playing on a ball field at Thomapple Lake.

Groups of 50 to 70 persons would often travel with potluck dinners to lakes near their scheduled com­ petition to enjoy a com­ munity outing before the game. “Vermontville also had a good team at that time,” reports Fuzzy. He remembers a special rivalry between the two villages then, but Dick Mason recalls that in earlier years Nash­ ville’s greatest rival was considered to be Hastings. Both men recall Bill and Archie Martin as top-notch players of their era, and both remember black ball teams coming from the Battle Creek and Albion area to play the local team-creating something of a novelty in those days. Attendance at most Nash­ ville games was so tremendous that parking places were at a premium when folks began driving autos to the athletic field on the Thornapple in the 1920’s and 30’s. “With the coming of warmer weather the baseball fever begins to crop out...“another early-April call to organize heralds the 1908 season. Nashville’s love of baseball became a lasting tradition in the village, leaving many innings of happy memories behind.

Chamber President Charles Andrus, Jr., after polling several members present, said he would ask village officials to earmark some Federal Revenue Sharing Funds, to be received this year, for paving the parking area west of the Main Street stores. A portion of last year’s RVS monies is still being held in reserve by the village, earmarked for the paving project, and Andrus felt that if this year’s funds could be added to last year’s reserve, the village would be assured of having enough money on hand to complete the paving job when bids are let.

Forty “Nashville Bucks” are redeemable for ten gallons of free gasoline at either Powers Shell or the Fargo Service Station in Nashville. “Why drive out of town to shop?” asked Max Kelley. He suggested merchants back the promotion by reminding customers to “buy locally, and we (the merchants) will buy your gas.” Promotion for the Christmas season were also considered Wednesday. A special committee was named to arrange a 1979 Christmas parade, the ap­ pearance of Santa and the placement of “Santa’s house” in Central Park. Andrus, who heads the committee, said he hoped the Christmas event would help “kick off a Christmas shopping spree” at local stores. The merchants also discussed plans to begin an immediate campaign to raise community donations to buy at least one new Main Street light pole Christmas decoration this year. One was purchased last year with proceeds raised by the raffle of two donated bicycles. Canisters will start the street decorating-fund this year and, at the June meeting, the Chamber will analyze the results to see if additional assistance is needed. Ahmo Jordan, head of the Tourist and Resort Com-mittee, reported' on merchant advertising space available in the the West West Michigan Tourist Association publication. “This is everbody’s town; we should all participate in promoting it,” Jordan told the membership. He said the ads were well worth the cost to get people to recognize Nashville. “We may be on the map, but we still must let people know where we are,” he added. Jordan also exhis pressed his personal gratitude to David Mace, new owner of Simon Phar­ macy, for retaining Nash­ ville’s Main Street drug store. Mace, who with his wife Kathy, was present for the meeting, said he plans to move to Nashville from Caledonia in the near future. Other topics of interest ensued in a general ex­ change of ideas between Chamber members. Means to increase at­ tendance at meeting was discussed and it was agreed each member would en­ courage another to be present for the May dinner. Investigating development of a small industrial-park area in Nashaville was suggested. “If we can get some paychecks cashed in this town, we’ll get some dollars spent here,” said Jordan, who stressed the need for light industry. Vermontville Girl Scout news Andrus reported “feedback” received on his proposed renovation and renewal of Nashville’s Main Street business district. The concept, presented last month in an artist’s sketch done by Andrus, brought varied comments after the drawing was published in a Maple Valley News report. Andrus said 90 percent of the comment was favorable to his plan which would provide a plaza with a covered walk, set back from the present stores on the west side of Main Street, and greatly expand parking area. Dancing is fun! And fun is what 17 Brownies from Vermontville had April 9, when they attended a Brownie Dance Workshop in Eaton Rapids. All Area No. 7 Brownies were invited, and a total of 78 were there. Larry and Kay Clark, dance in­ structors from Eaton Rapids, were the hosts and seemed to enjoy teaching as much as the girls did lear­ ning. Even the leaders and mothers who helped drive there got into the swing of things learning many new dances and some new games.

The com­ mittee, comprised of local citizens and some village trustees, reported to the village council Thursday evening on an organizational meeting with Bruce Kuffer of Williams and Works of Grand Rapids, engineers for the $3,396,105. project. Lonny Kienutske, head of the newly-formed com­ mittee, suggested ways to convey the message to the public. Plans include press releases; establishing an information board; a poster campaign; slide and talk presentations to community groups; direct mailing of fact sheets; and, possibly, public information radio sports. A tenative timetable for the project was also presented by Kuffer at Thursday’s council meeting. “This timetable is nothing cast in concrete,” Kuffer told village officials, “but it looks like a realistic schedule right now.” State and federal grants to cover at least 80 percent of the project are expected. The council also discussed land options and property easements pertaining to the system, and agreed to have Williams and Works prepare the final FmHA application for the project In other business, the council decided to earmark over $19,000 of this year’s Federal Revenue Sharing funds toward improving and paving a downtown parking lot Approximately $23,000 of last year’s RVS allotment is still in reserve for the project Earlier, the council had considered using some of the RVS monies for im­ provement of village streets-namely Sherman, Cleveland, and Middle. “We have to look out for the businessmen, but we also have an obligation to the residents of this village (to maintain the streets).” commented Trustee Ted Spoelstra. He said more people drive the street than would use the parking lot, but at the urging of Charles Andrus, on behalf of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, and Lonny Kienutske, representing the Nashville Business Owners Association, Gene Koetje appointed acting Nashville police chief Gene Koetje, a seven-year veteran on the Nashville police force, has been promoted from patrolman to sergeant and named to serve as acting village Chief of Police. Koetje was appointed by the village council last week to fill the chief's post which was vacated by Kendal Wilcox who resigned recently. Koetje received his basic training at the Police Academy in Lansing and completed advanced training at the Police Academy at Kalamazoo Valley Community College. He has about ten years experience in law enforce­ ment and was formerly a part-time policeman in Middleville. Prior to moving to Nashville, Koetje operated a barbershop in Caledonia for 11 years. He and his wife, Joyce, have three children. Koetje said he does not plan to apply for the position of police chief on a permanent basis. Applications for the post are being accepted until June 1. ( (Maple Valley News photo) Spoelstra moved to put the additional RVS funds into the parking lot project- The council unanimously supported the action, and decided to seek other street repair monies from various available grants. A letter of resignation was received from Trustee Maurice Purchis, who has been absent since the January 25th meeting. An attempt by Christiansen to appoint Barton Bracy to fill the post was thwarted by the 'Council on a motion by Spoelstra to allow a council committee to offer names for consideration. In the past, the village president has traditionally named a replacement whenever a trustee’s seat was vacated by resignation. However, the village charter mandates that such vacancies be filled by appointment by the council. When Spoelstra challanged the past procedure, pointing out charter provisions, Christiansen then named a committee comprised by Ray Hinckley, Forrest Babcock, and Sandra Kohfeldt to submit names for council approval at the next meeting. Christiansen also named his standing committees for the new year.

A weekly report from— “Foodflation”, signifying higher food costs, is the new “in” word in food circles and is of concern to Everyone, since it hits where it hurts ...in the pocketbook. Many prices are higher, but there are also many ways to “fight foodflation” IF you really want to, says Maryann Beckman, District Con­ sumer Food Marketing Agent. The key to lowering your own family food costs is the word IF, for saying money and getting your money’s worth at the supermarket depend primarily on your Own desire to do something about lowering your costs. As consumers, we don’t have much control over the prices charged, but we can control the amount we spend by following some old tried and true food shopping guidelines and learning more about newer cost-cutting techniques and helps available. One of the first tricks to lowering food costs is to I do some arm-chair price comparisons and to check your cupboards, freezers and refrigerators before going to the store. Once you know what you have on hand, then, arm-chair shop the weekly food ads to find the specials that will combine with your on-hand supplies. It’s a well known fact that buying many of the weekly specials saves you from 10 to 20 percent on weekly food bills. Ifyou buy even a few of the weekly specials, you can still save six to ten percent. Meat department specials offer the 'greatest savings since meat and protein items take the biggest share of your weekly food dollars. Featured prices are often 10 to 30 cents a pound less than regular price. Most stores feature anywhere from 10 to 20 different or similar meat and fish items weekly. If you choose only a few, you can have 4 to 6 less-expensive main dish choices. Recognize1 that not all of the items listed weekly in food ads are specials, however. You have to compare prices to know and know prices to compare. Generali^, meat, produce and the products listed in largest print are the better specials. Others listed may be only a few cents lower than usual or are offered at regular price to give you other ideas of items that combine well with the price leaders. Once you know what you have on hand and check the specials you want to?' buy, then make a shopping list. Mark the items that are specials and star the items for which you have coupons. Do be sure to remember to take the list with you to the s tore. If you forget your list and have to go back to the store later for the one or two items you specially needed, it’ll cost you up to 10 percent more in money alone, plus the extra time, gas, etc. When consumers go back to the store, they rarely buy just the one or two items they forgot, but tend to buy several other products as well, which are probably not wanted or needed. Organizing your list ac­ cording to store layout or by product groupings (such as produce, meats, frozen foods, dairy and other) saves you additional time, steps A money, once you get to And file store. Everytime you “back-track” through the store you tend to see, pass by and pick up several other items you don’t really need that a machete is not a “dangerous weapon” within the meaning of the state law on such things. It said while that may be a potentially dangerous weapon, “it is not a dangerous weapon per se.” Bottom Line - A recent manufacturers’ study which ranked Michigan poorest in terms of a good business climate in the 48 contiguous states has created much controversy; the study does not consider “quality of life” and seems weighted toward the “Sunbelt” states. However, it has focused attention on the need for reform, of the unem­ ployment and workers’ comp programs. Female Representation - An April report shows that although women have made' significant gains in state government employment since affirmative-action programs began in 1971, only 6.5 percent of officials and administrators are women, while 93.5 percent of clerical workers are female. Also, over 60 percent of women of government make less than $13,000; only .55 percent make over $25,000. . .: < Worker Employers - The House has approved HB 4119, which would set up a state office to help workers buy out companies that plan to close or leave the state. Only technical assistance and advice would be given, with the aim being to help preserve jobs in Michigan. Dear John - The House Judiciary Committee will soon be considering HB 4219, which would outlaw pay toilets in places of public accommodation, amusement or recreation. A violation would be a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of at least $100 and-or 5 days in jail. Wood Words - If you’re thinking of using wood as a primary or secondary home heating source, you might want to get a “Wood Heating Packet” from the Energy Extension Service with helpful hints on wood as a fuel.

We at present time have a fine director, whom our children need. He is not only a great band director, but also, teacher and disciplinarian. He is fair minded and would like to develope the potential Maple Valley has to once again be a No. 1 band. Why has this problem come about? Why can’t Maple Valley keep their band director? (This is my daughters’ 5th director, and she is only a freshman.) The one very important reason we can’t keep a director is because our system does not choose to support our teachers, band directors, or coaches in discipline matters. They DEALER WANTED • • • • Grain Bins Steel Buildings Post Buildings Livestock Equipment Profitable opportunity for local dealership. Field sales support. Financing available. Farmer, contractor or businessman considered. For information call toll free. 1-800-428-9682 seem to think that par­ ticipation only means, when students happen to feel like it, and no further com­ mitment is necessary or needed. It makes me wonder what would happen if the teachers decided all on the same day, not to show up for work. Would the system think that their action was alright, and no discipline is necessary. We should be educating our children for a produc­ tive, considerate, respon­ sible life, knowing that they must think about their ac­ tions before they act and accept the consequences of their actions, be it positive or negative. The sooner we teach our children this, the better it will be for them­ selves and those around them. If we lose this director, where will we get our next one from? Who will want to work for a system who has no intentions, nor the in­ testinal fortitude to support its teachers. I urge every parent to call the Maple Valley Supt., and School Board members in support of Mr. Petrosky. It is ethical and necessary for our faculty to have the backing of their administration. Our children need stability, not wishy-washy weakness. One who cares enought to get involved. BUILDING A GRAIN Betty J.

National leader 4-H Forum ‘79 By Jan Tirrell, 4-H Program Assistant Mrs. Cnarlotte Wight returned this week from Washington, D.C. where she attended a National 4-H Leader Forum at the National 4-H Center. Mrs. Wight was one of 52 delegates from 20 states. Developed around a focus on 4-H and Handicapped youth, the sessions were designed to help leaders become more effecitve in working with handicapped 4­ H members and volunteers. Special features of this week were four workshops on 4-H with mentally retarded, blind, deaf and physically impaired youth. The workshop on blind youth was made possible, in part, by a grant from the E. Matilda Ziegler Foundation for the Blind, Inc., New York. Other sessions included dealing with attitudes, recreation for all participants, working with other organizations and agencies, and tips and techniques in n meai preparation and home planning by a representative of the Campbell Soup Company, Camden, N.J. Mrs. Wight said that the most interesting part of these sessions was the sharing times. As 4-H leaders shared problems and discovered solutions, each participant gained new in­ sights and formed new ideas to help the handicapped person to grow through his or her 4-H experience. Leaders also had an op­ portunity to spend a day on Capitol Hill to discuss policies and legislative issues with members of the senate Subcommittee on the Handicapped and the Senate Agriculture Committee, and staff at the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. Other field trips included an awe-inspiring night bus tour of Washington, D.C. and an enlightening tour of the Great Oaks Center for the Mentally Retarded in the state of Maryland. Mrs. Wight plans to apply newly acquired skills in her work with the Lucky Suns 4­ H Club of Charlotte. 4-H Leader Forums are conducted throughout the year by National 4-H Council in behalf of the Cooperative Extension Service. You can learn more about how you might be involved as a 4-H member or leader by calling 543-2310 or your local Ex­ tension office. Mrs. Wight’s trip was sponsored by the Civitan Club of Lansing and the Eaton County 4-H Council.

Nashville, Wednesday, April 25, 1979 — Pope 2 Nashville News The recent floods that have left so many homeless in Jackson, Miss., are of special interest to Keith and Alice McMillen of Nashville who returned last week from an extended winter vacation in the southland, and they had just left the Jackson area a week prior to the inundation. The McMillens began their winter sojourn by traveling to Riverview, Florida, in their mini-home to join Keith’s sister and her husband, Donna and Clinton Dodge of Gaylord, who were also wintering in a mini-home. At Riverview they visited their brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Garold McMillen of Woodland. Other Florida stops were at Oka)waha to call on the Henry Semraus of Nashville; and at Gainsville to visit granddaughter, Deanna McMillen; plus a special stop at Largo for a family gathering to celebrate the 65th wedding anniversary of the John Hewitts of Hastings, Michigan and Pennsylvania relatives were present for the occasion. Headed for Houston, Texas, the McMillens en­ joyed a tour of Mobile, Alabama. At Houston they called on son, Charles, and family (she is the former Janet Marshall of Nashville); and toured NASA, Galveston Island,'' and area. Returning east to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, the Mc­ Millens called on their nephew and family, Dr. and Mrs. Neil McMillen and children. He is a professor of history at University of Mississippi and has authored three books. They are currently inyolved in restoring their residence — an historic home in the city. A stop at Jackson, Mississippi, then the journey home via the Natchez Trail — including a tour of Opryland at Nashville, Tenn. — completed the Mc­ Millen’s winter excursion.

It has been a bad winter for Ellis and Irene Bloom of Nashville even though they spent it in a sunnier clime than Michigan. Mr. and Mrs. Bloom returned home the first week of April after a four-month stay in California and Florida which was, unfortunately, an unhappy experience. While in California Ellis underwent treatment for a growth on his eye, a condition so rare that 140 doctors were on hand to observe the procedure at Stanford University Hospital. Mrs. Bloom remembers that one doctor was from London and two were from the Detroit area. The Blooms had gone to California to visit son Gale and family at Cupertino, but when it became apparent that eye surgery was required for Ellis they returned to their former home at Lakeland, Florida. Because of his heart condition, Ellis could not return to Michigan’s cold, but they wished to nearer home for the operation. After returning to Nashville, Ellis developed complications with his eye and was suffering heart problems when he was hospitalized last week at Lansing General. At this writing, he is still in considerable pain. The Blooms’ winter trek took them over 11,000 miles — all of which Irene drove by herself. And they found little Warm weather in their travels. When they left Michigan’s snow in early December they had clear sailing all the way to California, but found snow falling at Bakersfield. One of the few bright sides of the journey was the opportunity to visit their two small grandchildren in California and help celebrate the birthday of one while there. Don’t forget the- “Bunny Hop”, planned for Saturday evening at Nashville’s Fire Bam. The April 28th event is being sponsored by the Riverside Recreational Develop­ ment Corp, as a fund-raiser for their community recreational park project The Voyagers band of Grand Rapids will furnish music for the 9:00 to2:00 a.m. event.

Last we.ek’s, plea for readers who might recall a Merrill Donald McVean who once lived in Nashville brought a response from Lewis Schulze, who employed Merrill on his farm over forty years ago. McVean is being sought by his daughter, Mrs. Ethel Whitney of Quimby, who has not seen him since she was a very small child and does not have any current information on his whereabouts.

The year after Munro came to Nashville^ new hitching posts were installed in front of his Main Street store. When the- Munro Groceteria discontinued operation at his death in 1960, modern autos were parked where horses had once patiently waited to transport shoppers and supplies. Munro’s record of 55 years of continuous operation of the same business in its original Main Street location had made hime a local legend before he died July by Susan Hinckley Colin T. Munro wks a merchant who believed in personal service. When he came to Nashville from Chicago in early-December 1905 to assume ownership of the C. L. Glasgow store, he also established a policy of home delivery. His horse-drawn wagon served as sort of a “groceryon-wheels” for residents of Nashville and vicinity. Up to the start of World War I, Munro continued to make deliveries in the village and within a five-mile radius of 12, 1960. “Why is Munro’s store like a river?” was a locallypopular riddle back in the 1920’s. “Because there are banks on both sides,” was the quick response. Bounded by the Farmers and Merchants Bank on the north and the State Savings Bank on the south, the Munro building was eventually tagged with an “oldest store in Nash- ville” sign. The designation referred to the structure, located on the west side of North Main, which was razed in 1977 along with the old Keihl Hardware. In his first 51 years of operating a grocery store in the same location, Munro had seen 39 other groceries come and go, reported the Nashville News in December 1956. Munro, a faithful and regular advertiser in the News, may have seen customer service as a key to his success. In a 1950 New Year’s resolution published in a News ad, the Munro Groceteria promised: “As The Maple Valley Co-op Fresh eggs, cider, and oysters are advertised on the window of Colin T.

We thank out host of customers and friends who have stuck by us all these years and we sincerely wish you all the happiest and most successful year you ever had.” Munro, a Canadian nfative from Lodon, Ontario, had attended Ferris Institute at Big Rapids as a young man and, many years later, became a member of the Society of Golden Eagles of Ferris, an alumni association designed to honor those from whom 50 years or more had passed since their graduation from the college. “At one time, Colin studied to be a stenographer,”, recalls Nelson Brumm, “and when he served as Nash­ ville’s village clerk, he could take the minutes of an entire council meeting on a calling card, in shorthand.” In addition to his many years as village clerk, Munro also served two terms as a member of the council. “He never had a bookkeeper at the store; he did all the work himself,” remembers Bill Face. Munro always walked to work from his home at the corner of Sherman and State Street (present day Hansen home), Face recalls, and he cannot remember Munro ever driving an auto, though he owned one. “Even near the end, when he was in his eighties and had trouble with his legs, he would still shuffle down the street to work each day,” said Face. Vern Staup, a retired Main Street barber whose shop was opposite Munro’s store agrees: “Regardless of the weather, Colin would walk downtown - even when it was so icy no one else was out.” Munro was a dedicated man in all his endeavors. As a charter member of the Grand Rapids Wholesale Grocery Company,, an organization of retail grocers, he missed only one annual meeting in 39 years. At a May 1956 convention in Grand Rapids he was honored as one of the “old guard”. Munro’s stock certificate wks No. 3 in k compkny then comprised of 490 members. Munro klso established long-lasting civic and lodge affiliations, including the Masonic Order and IOOF achieving elevated positions in both - and was very active in the Nashville Methodist Church. At the age of 84, while serving his 55th year as a Main Street merchant, Colin T. Munro died. Within a few months his remaining grocery stock and a half-centruy of memories were being sold at auction. azor The Jerry Bandfields, who had purchased the contents of the store which adjoined their Main Street business, remember some of the goods sold at that sale - wire display baskets, bolts of string and twine for wrap­ ping parcels, extension arms for reaching top-shelf merchandise, and quantities of old books. Memorablia of a lifetime, and a passing era, crossed the auction block that day. But one special item the Bandfields have kept -and treasured - a small two-step grocer’s ladder.

In addition, twenty-one area syrup producers will be exhibiting and marketing their sweet produce which includes syrup, sugar, candy and maple cream a delicacy with the spreading consistency of peanut butter. "There will be plenty of maple syrup for sale this year, although there is no surplus,” advised Trowbridge. Even though production was less than normal this season due to unfavorable weather con­ ditions, syrup quality is good and prices are only slightly increased, he said. "I’m might happy with the way my old trees produced this year,” commented Mrs. Carl Gearhart, who hangs 4,200 buckets to collect sap from sugar maples on her 'Cochran Road farm, making her Michigan's largest producer of maple syrup from home-owned trees. Depending on sugar content of the sap, between 30 and 50 gallons are needed for the boiling process to produce one gallon of syrup. Mrs. Gearhart, with her late husband, began exhibiting syrup products at Vermontville’s festival over thirty years ago. Currently serving her third term as the only woman on the Board of Directors of the Michigan Maple Syrup Association, she blames “too much cloud cover” for the reduced production this year. “Syrup is one agricultural product we can do nothing to control,” Mrs. Gearhart explained, “The weather has to do it all.” Though there may be no surplus, there will be plentiful syrup to drown countless pancakes to be served in Vermontville’s Fire Barn by the Maple Valley High School Band Boosters - a major annual fund-raising project for the The "catch-up” Im­ munization program is underway for Barry County.

Ernest Nash State Representative Do Nothing—The minority leaders of the House and Senate have critized majority Democrats for devoting the legislature’s time to trivial issues instead of crucial items like comp reform, the budget, and implementation of the Headlee amendment Comp Reform?—Meanwhile, Governor Milliken has suggested a bipartisan task force to achieve reform of the workers’ compensation system. It would be made up of legislators plus tow department heads; he urged that it report by September 30. Pump Prices—Under federal law, a gas station must have the maximum allowable price on a sticker on each pump; it cannot sell gas at a price higher than that. If you feel a station has violated this, call the U.S. Energy Dept. 800-424­ 9246. Camp Fund?—By law, the state can draw on the Budge Stabilization Fund to stimulate the economy after any quarter when unemployment exceeds 8 percent—which happened in the first quarter of 1979. The state Budget Director has proposed that the available $5.6 million be used to build prison camps; the ultimate decision belongs to the legislature. Drug Costs—Michigan’s 1974 generic drug substitution law was supposed to save consumers nearly $20 million a year by allowing them to substitute less expensive generic equivalents for brand-name drugs when getting prescrip­ tions filled.

From algebra to art, students were exposed to different activities involving the newspaper.

By devoting an entire day to newspapers, teachers and administrators hoped to make an impact on the students as a way to begin to improve skills and knowledge of newspaper usage. Some of the teachers are planning carryover projects and plan to use the newspaper in their classrooms once a week. Hartenburg termed the day “rather successful” and said a similar activity probably will be held next year too.

In making his announcement, he com­ mented, “From our cor­ poration’s point of view it is with some degree of selfishness that we want to assure the success of the hospital’s expansion fund. Without a good community and without good health care facilities, we cannot bring in good people. We also owe our present group of employees something more in addition to just plain wages.” In his remarks to the members of the Big Gifts Committee he continued that, “Hoover is very happy to make its contribution to your fund and our employees are also striving to come up with an additional $40,000 on their own.

Vermontville Fire Dept, makes donation to Charlotte Hospital By Ava Kroger In the accompanying picture part of the members of the very efficient Ver­ montville Fire Department are shown, presenting a check for $200 by Joe Ann Nehmer (secretary) to Mr. Homer Winegar, chairman of the Vermontville area of the H-G-B Hospital Ex­ pansion Fund. The department has 21 members and 8 honorary ones. Besides their prompt­ ness in responding to fires and other emergencies it should be made known that of this group are taking an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) course two nights a week. This is a 120 hour course equivalent to two college semesters to better serve the medical needs of our community in emergency situtations. Effective on July 1, it is required that one EMT go with the ambulance when on call, and after July 1980 two will be needed. Vermontville should be very proud of this depart­ ment and I (Ava Kroger) can speak from experience as I would have lost my home a few years ago if they hadn’t responded so speedily. The Expansion Fund Board is very grateful for this generous donation as the department sees a first hand need for a hospital near by.

Cook, County Extension Director If you’re thinking about buying lime-coated alfalfa seed, you’d best give the purchase some serious consideration. After three years of field testing, Milo B. Tesar, Michigan State University agronomist, is not impressed with the results. His research shows that lime coating does not improve alfalfa stands, nodulation or yields on sweet soil recommended for alfalfa, pounds of lime. • MSU scientists conducted fivex experiments during 1976-78 on sweet and acid soils on four soil types to compare stand establish­ ment and yields of alfalfa sown with regularly inoculated and lime-coated seed. The results are based on the same number of seeds being planted per acre as regular inoculated or limecoated seed. So, in the ex­ periments, when eight pounds of regular inoculated seeds were planted, for nor on any acid areas which may occur in an otherwise well limed field. Lime-coated seed is produced commercially by coating raw seed with a sticking agent and adding rhizobia inoculant. The seed and sticking agent are then coated with a lime layer. Two-thirds of the final product is seed; one-third is lime. . The rhizobia bacteria is a muck base and the sticking agent weigh very .little.

There were no differences in stand establishment, nodulation or first- or second-year yields between lime-coated and regularly inoculated seed on acid, sweet soils or moderately acid soils. The fifth experiment was conducted on a Kalamazoo sandy loam 75n the Kellogg Farm near Battle Creek. The soil pH was 4.8. Some plots were treated with 1%, 2% or 5 tons of lime per acre to bring the soil to increasing pH levels approaching 7 at the 5-ton rate. There were no differences in stand establishment or yields in the seeding year (1978) between alfalfa from regularly inoculated seed and lime-coated seed on the acid or sweet woils. Secondyear yields will be taken in 1979. The results from these five .experiments support the recommendation first made by Michigan State University in the fall of 1976: “Don’t use lime-coated seed on sweet soils recommended for alfalfa.” Results from 1977-78 support an additional recommendation: “Don’t use lime-coated seed to improve alfalfa stands or yields on acid soils.” Limecoated seed will not improve stands or yields on acid pockets in fields which are generally well limed but may have moderatley acid (pH 6.0) or acid (pH 5.5) areas.

Yields were the same for each seed rate fromregularly inoculated or limecoated seed in the year of seeding or in the next year.

Seven hits for four ball games will not win a team many ball games. The only ball game we have won so far we ended up with no hits. Smart base running and a few misplays by the opposing team con­ tributed greatly to Lion victory. It also helped when Todd Gearhart threw a no hitter ofhis own.

Nashville. Wednesday. Moy 2. 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Congratulations to George B. Dean (dur next-door neigh­ bor) who is celebrating his 95th birthday Tuesday, May 1st. A native of the Nashville area, he was born in 1884 on his family’s farm one mile north of Maple Grove Center. His parents, George 0. and Susan (McKelevey) Dean built the large brick home on the southeast corner of the Assyria and Lawrence Road intersection (present-day Ossenheimer home). As a child George attended the McKelvey school, then later drove a horse and buggy into Nashville to attend classes at the high school-graduating in 1902. He furthered his education at the University of Michigan and, later, at Tri-State College at Angola, Indiana. In 1909 he went to California to work as a steam engineer for the Southern Pacific Railroad, and later worked there at a power generating station for the Edison Company. When he returned to Michigan in 1920, he was employed as a stan­ dards engineer for General Motors at Flint. Ninty-fi ve years have never dulled his keen sense of humor nor his profound interest in state and national politics. He carries on a steady correspondence with many individuals, a goodly number of them being elected officials. A few letters from the White House have come his way too. We are happy to report George is still enjoying very good health despite a nasty spill on the ice last winter, and often walks downtown from his Reed Street home. Mr. Dean is also a regular patron of Putnam Public Library, always seeking to increase his knowledge of all subjects, and has been very helpful in aiding library personnel in research on local history. Recent Sunday afternon callers at the home of Mrs. Melissa Showalter ofNashville were her cousin and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Holcomb of Assyria.

"What a swell depression that was, anyway,’’ ob­ served a pragmatic Nash­ ville News reporter in September 1933. "The longest, the meanest, the lowest in the history of American business.” "Lots of things caused it to start and others kept it going,” explained the writer, "but we have turned our backs on all that now and as a united nation have finally reached that well-known corner. Let’s forget it.” But memories of hardships suffered in those few preceeding years still lingered and others, yet to come, would not soon pass. In 1929 Nashville’s economic picture had ap­ peared promising. "Nashville’s two banks, the State Savings Bank and the Farmers and Merchants State Bank, are in excellent condition according to yearend reports having, together, more than a million dollars in deposits,” revealed a January 1929 News issue. By the first of September, September the .two banks would merge to form the Nashville State Bank.

She was selected by a vote of the students in her office block class. The vote was based on the student’s classroom effort and at­ titude, and sincere interest in pursuing a career in the office occupations area. She received her cer­ tificate of academic achievement at the annual Education Night of the Battle Creek-Kalamazoo Chapter of the Ad­ ministrative Management Society.

(5-2) Wetlands Waiting—Debate continues slowly on House and < Senate bills to preserve and protect Michigan’s wetlands. Most recently, Senate debate centered on the fundamental question of property owners’ rigts vs. the state’s right to use of land. Personally, I’ll support the individual property rights of this issue. Business Boost—The House will soon vote on HB 4118, which would create a Business Development Corporation with the power to make loans, buy property and provide credit, all in order to promote business development in Michigan. Campaign Charges—An Ann Arbor man has been charged in the first criminal case based on Michigan’s Campaign Finance Reporting Law. The man, who lost, did not file a post-election spending statement: he says the law is un­ constitutional. Child Support—The House last week approved HB 4389, which further defines “children born out of wedlock” to include those not the legitimate issue of a marriage, and gives women the right to sue the actual father for child support; this will save state costs for child support. Also approved was HB 4227, which bans explicit reference to illegitimacy in birth documents. License Liberty—The House State Affairs Committee is considering HB 4114, which would revise and consolidate Michigan’s licensing and regulation laws. The L&R Department Director says the bill will expand powers to protect the consumer, eliminate unnecessary regulation and help make the various professions more competitive,with resultant benefits to the public. Tight Squeeze—Although it was thought that budget difficulties for the present fiscal year had been worked out, it now appears that rising Medicaid and ADC costs will require another $20 million to be cut from other spending areas in order to balance the budget. Sexual Harassment—Hearings on sexual harassment on the job, believed to be the first such ever sponsored by any state, are presently being held by the Labor Department. There will be one May 3 at Northern Michigan University in. Marquette and two in Detroit on May 9. School Warrants—The Attorney General has ruled that public school administrators may not search student lockers or cars without first getting a search warrant. He said that court opinions have clearly established that students have constitutional rights while at school. Higher Education—The State Board of Education has reported that -the average 1977-78 salary for a K 12 teacher in Michgan was $16,454. Salaries ranged from a low of $10,113 paid to teachers at Mackinac Island all the way up to $22,461 paid to Dearborn City teachers. senior citizens DAY THURSDAY, MAY 3rd THE MIRRORS IMAGE CARES ABOUT YOU j □ SHAMPOO & SET.......... *3.00 0 □ PERM ,..*17.00 We Guarantee all Perms.

Late last March the MV band performed a spring concert. This was an event that was announced well in advance, and was on the calendar that was handed out at the beginning of the year. It is quite evident that plenty of warning about this performance was issued, and it was a required per­ students involved with this formance. letter are, I hated to think A few students didn’t hear that the band could be losing the announcement of the such fine students and concert, or failed to check muscans ese peope. musicians as as these people. their calendar, and bought However, they did go to the tickets to see a rock concert. concert, and I could see no These people were informed other choice that Mr. that going to a concert other Petrosky could make other than the one that they made than to kick them out. a commitment to would On the ninth day of April mean dismisal from the these students were read­ class. mitted into band. Being a devoted band I am glad to have them student myself, as the other back, however, before let­ ting these students back in someone forgot to think about a few key points in Mr. Petrosky’s point of view: he is in charge of ap­ proximately 200 and 300 students a day. That means he has to have the respect of 200-300 people, and if they know what Mr. Petrosky says will be contradicticted in the “higher ranks” they won’t have to listen to him, and there goes that respect. Also with their being allowed to come back into band, the attendance policy, which previously effected the grade if the student didn’t show up to the performance, is left wide open. For a couple of years now we have been trying to build up the band program. Then we run across a man who can do this building, and we have made progress, but we need more time, Frankly, I have to say that the way things look now, a few people will be happy, and ap­ proximately 100 other students should prepare to take a giant step backwards.

Drying is a way of preser­ ving foods known for thousands of years, tn drying, sufficient moisture is removed from a food material to prevent its decay; water of properly dried food can vary from 5 percent to 25 percent (dehydrated foods have 2.5 to 4 percent water).

There are disadvantages: Drying can be costly and require considerable time. There are several methods of drying food. Sun Drying requires uninterrupted days of hot sun and low humidity. Sun drying is not very practical in general, for Michigan climate. Some are trying it, however. Oven Drying - drying in your oven requires using very low temperatures. Oven door must be propped open. It is costly in terms of energy used. Dehydrator Drying Electric dehydrators, some with fans, range in price $120 to $250. Costs to operate will vary with costs per KWH of electricity and efficiency of the dryer - could be from 25c to $1.25-day. Air Drying — Herbs and some other foods may be successfully dried, by hanging after harvesting at appropriate times. Tie them in small bunches and hang in well ventilated room out of direct sunlight. Or may be hung in cheesecloth or mesh plastic bags. Do not hang in garages due to auto fumes. Microwave Oven Drying - Not practical for large quantities because of long time required. Ex­ ception — herbs which can be placed between dry paper towels and dried 1 to 2 minutes in Microwave Oven.

Nashville, as v e, Wednesday. enesay. May ay 2.. 1979 — Physical fitness plays important role at M.V Keeping in tip-top shape can be fun as well as beneficial to the body and mind. Students and a group of adults at Maple Valley High School find that in­ corporating a physical fit­ ness program and exercise into their regular routine not only provides them with new skills but enjoyment too. Governor William G. Milliken, in recognizing the important role physical fitness and exercise play in the well-being of the people of the state of Michigan, has proclaimed April 29 - May 5 as Michigan Health and Fitness Week. “A healthy body promotes an active and productive mind. It is important for people of all ages to acquire the knowledge, skills and attitudes that lead to the enjoyment of a physically active life style. Programs that give everyone the op­ portunity to learn sports and develop other physical skills leading to participation in and enjoyment of physical activity are to be encouraged,” said Governor Milliken in his executive declaration. The Governor said he * urges citizens of the state to take up life-prolonging and health-giving activities. At Maple Valley Schools, Physical Education Teacher, Jackie Peak said, “One of the reasons physical education is incorporated into the curriculum is to promote physical fitness and activities in the students’ lives.” 21^4 •SjSBf ■ ’* -"'•MUMsti One of the aims is to teach sports activities that can be enjoyed throughout a per­ son’s lifetime. One of the biggest recreational activities for youth and adults is jogging, currently on the upswing in terms of popularity. Exercise, softball, and handball is also popular here, and more and more tennis is being played. New additions to the physical education program at the senior high level are units on handball and bowling. In the bowling unit, students are taught the mechanics of the sport using rubber balls and plastic pins on make-shift alleys in the gymnasium. During the three-week session, the students are taught the fourstep approach, how to keep score, and have an op­ portunity to participate in team bowling. Next year, Jackie said she hopes to offer courses in orienteering (where students use a compass; learn how to move over various types of terrain); and possibly cross country skiing and roller skating or ice shating. Since mid-December, some of the Staff at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High has elected to devote a portion of their lunch period to keeping physically fit. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday, the physical education instructor, a business teacher, English teacher, two secretaries, and sometijnes a counselor and the school nurse can be found at noon using the weight machine to keep their muscles in tone On Tuesdays and Thursdays, they spend part of thenregular lunch break doing a variety of exercises. Also, instead of heading home when the dismissal bell rings at the end of the school day, another group including a business teacher, counselor, home economics teacher, English teacher, learning disabilities instructor, plus several students stick around to exercise together. They started their program in January and have recently added jogging to their list of activities. Another dedicated group of weight watchers and physical fitness buffs start their day at 6 a.m. with jogging at the track. Next year, Jackie hopes to set up a community exercise program during a one-hour physical fitness session after each school day. Each year, in the spring and fall, the physical education department ad­ ministers the national physical fitness test to students and awards patches to those with high per­ formances. The students are tested for strength, agility, and flexibility in sit-ups; pull ups; modified flex arm hangs; standing broad jump, 50 yard dash; 600 yard run and shuttle run. During Michigan Health and Fitness Week, the Michigan Association of Health, Physical Education and Recreation, the Michigan Council on Physical Fitness and Health, the Michigan Recreation and Parks Association, in cooperation with affiliates and friends, is emphasizing the importance of physical education, sports and recreational opportunities in schools and communities. A variety of activity, including a unit on basket- ball, is part of the physical education classes at Maple Valley. Charlene Martin is shown as she sinks a basket. English teacher Julie Swartz exercises her upper back, shoulders, and arms. Bev Black, learning disabilities teacher, uses the weight machine to work on biceps curl. ’“.cry:^ >'« »ns!Mf«h - ;•:•■:•'■" thscu '••■■: IfcVJX ■ iar-sm? i.’~ .■ r>.!1 !|!

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Vol. 105, No. 51 - Wednesday, May 9, 1979 Nashville Council discusses proposals for sewer project At a special Monday evening public meeting of the Nashville Village Council last week, it was recom­ mended that there be no initial sewer charge for vacant lots in the village until such lots are developed, following installation of Nashville’s proposed new sewer system. At that time, it is expected the orginial hookup fee will be charged the owner, plus an annual percentage increase based on a yet-to-be-determined escalating scale. The recommendation, made in the form of a motion by Trustee Ted Spoelstra, authorized recentlya formed Public Information Committee, headed by Lonny Kienutske, to use the vacant lot proposal in various public meetings and news media releases planned in the near future to inform local residents about the sewer project Kienutske, also a recent council appointee, was chosen by Village President Harold Christiansen last March to head the Public Information Committee, a group comprised of council members and village residents. Also named to the committee, designed to inform the community about the proposed sewer project, were Nelson Brumm, Ray Hinckley, and Tom Oleson. Another question considered at Monday’s meeting was whether reconnection fees should be charged to homes presently on the sewer Volunteer ‘Block Parents’ neededBlock Parent Program applications are being sent home to parents in the Maple Wood school area. “The program is designed for city use”, states, Captain Long, Eaton County Sheriff Dept. “But I see no reason it won’t work in the rural area.” The purpose of the program was and continues to be to provide children in the communtiy with a source of help in emergencies which may arise while traveling to and from school or any time. This was accomplished by having one or more volun­ teers on each block in the city or mile in the rural areas. The purpose of Block parents is . to provide children a source of help in emergencies which may arise while traveling to and from school. It is intended especially to assure the security of children in the event of dismassal of school at an unexpected time. The success of the plan is the block parent’s home. These homes, located on each street and road in the school community, serve as havens for children of any age, in need of emergency help. It is the home of private citizens. Volunteer parents have no legal status except that of a responsible, sen­ sible private citizen who will obtain aid in the event of an emergency involving a child. The plan can be likened to an insurance policy; it is there if the need should arise, but hopefully will not be needed very often. It also affords the police depart­ ment an extra pair of eyes. reconnection fee decision are those presently paying sewer charges because their septic tank systems flow into storm drains running into Thor­ napple River or Quaker Brook. The council reached no conclusion last Monday night on the reconnection fee question, pending further study to pinpoint the exact number of homes classed in these two categories. “I would like to invite the public to attend our council meetings, especially these next few weeks,” said Kienutske following Mon­ day’s meetings. He advised that much discussion and clarification on the sewer project will be upcoming. “Those who have questions but are unable to attend meetings, may write us on the various issues,” he added. Kienutske stressed the council’s need for public input on the proposed project If you did not receive a application and want to participate please call JoeAnn Nehmer, 726-1019 or Maple Wood School, 726-0600. It must be expressed that you don’t have to have a child in school to-be active in the program, you may be retired, a farmer, or a senior citizen. This program is sponsored by Maple Wood P.T.O. in cooperation with Eaton County Sheriff Dept. Cyclin’’for CF Bike-A-Thon Students complete CPR training A group of seventh grade studets have completed a basic life support class taught by Ms. Linda Furlong of the American Red Cross.

Wednesday, May 9, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Three generations of a Nashville family, whose ancestor Thomas Blaisdell was one of Castleton Township’s earliest settler, will be speaking at the annual Alumni Banquet set for June 2 at Maple Valley High School. Kenneth A. Meade of Franklin will act as toastmaster at the Saturday evening event. His son, Kenneth F. Meade, Sr., of Jackson is president of the Maple Valley Alumni Association and his grandson, Kenneth F. Meade, Jr., of Nashville is vice­ president of the organization. Plans call for the school to be open at 5: 30 p.m. for alumni and guests wishing to visit and reminisce before the 7:00 p.m. dinner served in the high school cafeteria. Musical entertainment for the evening will be furnished by the John Maurer family, including local and out-of-town members who were all NHS or MVHS graduates. Mrs. Larry (Judy) Hook, acting as secretary for Nashville alumni, has been very busy lately trying to contact graduates for banquet reservations. Due to the increasing size of the alumni mailing list, invitations are sent only to those who attended last year’s banquet; those celebrating their 20th anniversary (this year, the Class of *59); and then a retrogressive 5-year basis, which would be ‘54, ‘49, ‘44, ‘39, etc. By following this pattern each year, every class is eventually contacted. Those not receiving an invitation by mail for the alumni banquet may make reservations by sending the form, currently published in the Maple Valley News, to alumni association treasurer Mrs. Donald (Loretta) Pixley. Acting as secretaries for Vermontville graduates are Mrs. Richard Todd and Patty Wright, both of Nashville Assisting Judy Hook with alumni banquet invitations for Nashville graduates is Mrs. Elizabeth Lynch of Biven Road, who is also organizing a 50th reunion for her Class of 1929. Eighteen of the 26 original members of the class are still living. Those attending the banquet will receive special recognition. Proceeding the evening event, Mrs. Lynch will host an afternoon open house at her residence for members and friends of the Class of 1929. All are welcome to stop between the hours of 1:00 and 5:00 p.m. Several Nashville alumni are still “missing” despite diligent searching by Mrs. Hook and Mrs. Lynch. Readers’ assistance is asked with the following names: David Wallace, *59; Darrell Lancaster, Mildred Teeter, and Patricia Root Graham, all ‘54; Margaret Weeks and Irwin Trevina, both ‘49; Lois Winans, ‘47; Duane Gray, ‘44; Fred William, ‘39; Russell and Pauline Partridge, both ‘34; and John Wotring, ‘24. Anyone having current information on the whereabouts of these Nashville High School grads is asked to call Mrs. Judy Hook at 852-9655 or Mrs. Loretta Pixley at 852-9863. Mrs. Lamoin (Gladys Jarrard) Mitchell of Nashville is organizing a 25th class reunion for her Class of 1954, as part of the alumni banquet event Additional details will be furnished later.

N Main Min St., St Nashvill N hville 852-9797 stays at Bradenton, Florida were Harry and Geraldine Johnson; and John and Irene Hamp. Both the Johnsons and Hamps had been in the south for over six months. They left behind 90 degree temperatures and our Michigan weather is not offering a very “warm” welcome, though we are happy to have our Nashville “snowbirds” home. Wade and Mary Carpenter of Nashville arrived home from Florida last Wednesday after spending four months at their winter residence at Punta Gorda. They had a nice winter and lovely spring weather for the journey home. Prior to departing for Florida in early January, the Car­ penters had been back in Nashville only briefly after nearly a year in Ireland where Wade was on special assignment for the E.W. Bliss Company at their plant at Athlone. They were able to visit several other European countries during that trip so they have had a wonderful year of traveling and sightseeing. Also recently returning to Nashville from Florida were George and Kathryn Augustine, who left for the south in early November. They had a good winter at Zephys Hills except for the fact that George had to be hospitalized for a week in March due to emphysema. No sooner home, the Augustines headed north for a weekend visit with Kathryn’s sister and brother-in-law, Ina and John Perry, who were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. An addition is being added to the rear of the Marathon “C” Store at the comer of North Main and Reed Street. Con­ struction began last week on the extension which will provide additional storeroom facilities for the grocery store. The Marathon “C”, owned by Katz-Davis of Battle Creek, is managed by Joseph “Don” Bouchard of Nashville. Lester Woodbury of Vermontville, son of Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville, is still confined at Pennock Hospital with a slipped spinal disc but has shown improvement and is able to be out of traction a few hours each day. It appears surgery will not be necessary. Nashville “snowbirds” continue to wing their way home. Returning last Monday were Dorothy Edmonds and Alice Fisher who have been staying at Jacksonville the past six months. Daughter Marcia (Mrs. Darrel Baker) of Washington, D.C. flew to Florida and drove the camper home for Dorothy and Alice, giving them an opportunity to stop in Washington a few days enroute. On arrival in Michigan, Marcia spent a couple days here before flying back home. ' Also returning last week from the sunny south were Ralph and Gladys Richardson, who have been wintering at Bradenton the past six months. In February, the Richard­ sons attended the annual Barry County picnic at Bradenton. Approximately 230 persons were present for the affair organization for the coming year and Gladys was chosen for the post of Secretary-Treasurer. Congratulations to Mrs. Villa Olin-Meyers'who celebrated her 85th birthday last Thursday, May 3rd. A lifelong resident of the Nashville area, Mrs. Meyers still enjoys reasonably good heath. The Nashville Site Senior Citizens plan to purchase a new public address system for their meeting quarters at the Masonic Temple. It is hoped the equipment will facilitate enjoyment of speakers and entertainers who often appear before the group, and it will also aid the site supervisor in making daily announcements. Donations from the senior citizens will purchase the audio system. A cordial invitation from the Village Inn to host the May 9th dinner of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce was accepted by Charles Andrus, Jr., president of the organization. Terril Thomas is in charge of reservation for the 7 p.m. Wednesday event. President Andrus will report on recent meetings with Barry County Grants Coordinator, Sylvia Dulaney, and officials of the new Kent-Barry-Eaton Railroad. Reports are also expected from the Civic Im­ provement Committee, relative to the Christmas street­ lighting project; and from the Tourism Committee, on possible membership in the West Michigan Tourist Association. Mrs. Audrey Powers of Nashville was transported to Pennock Hospital last Wednesday night by the Nashville ambulance, as she was suffering symptoms of a heart at­ tack. Recent Sunday callers at the home of Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville were her son and family, David and Suzanne Ramsey, and daughter Leigh-Anne Michelle, of Sturgis. David and Suzanne are former teachers in the Maple Valley school system. Last Tuesday, Mrs. Ramsey was surprised with a visit from her grandson, Allen Brenner of Springport, a teacher at Albion, who was in Nashville to attend a meeting at Maple Valley High School. The Golden Agers of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet for a noon potluck dinner at the church Community House Friday, May 11. The Nashville United Methodist Church Council on Ministries will meet at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, May 15, at the church, followed by an 8:00 p.m. meeting of the Ad­ ministrative Board. Denise (Yarger) Hansen of Nashville was selected as “Hunny Bunny” at the recent Bunny Hop dance sponsored by the Riverside Recreational Development Corp. The April 28 event, staged at Nashville’s Fire Bam, drew a sizeable crowd to dance to the music of the Voyagers, a Grand Rapids band. Canisters for several “Hunny Bunny” con­ testants were circulated among the dancers, as sponsors sought money votes for their candidates. At the final dance intermission, votes were tallied and Denise’s canister yielded over $40. All proceeds of the contest, dance tickets and concessions go toward development of a communtiv recreational park west of the Main Street stores. Denise recieved a giant-stuffed bunny as her reward. An Easter motif, in pastel shades, brightened the hall for the By Susan Hinckley festivities. Tables, topped with blue-checkered covers, were* centered with colorful egg trees. RRDC committee mem­ bers had dyed and hand-painted egg shells, stuffed them with artificial grass and placed candy in the eggs before attaching them to fresh-cut branches set in flower pots. Pink and blue streamers completed the Easter decor. Nate Sheldon of Nashville enjoyed a recent three-day trip tto Ludington to visit his son and daughter-in-law, Jim and Lori Sheldon. Nate and Jim had planned a fishing trip on Lake Michigan but high winds made the excursion im­ possible. Instead, Nate spent some time helping Jim with construction work before returning home. Phil Reagan, former Detroit Tiger pitcher, and presently baseball coach at Grand Valley State College in Allendale, will speak at Sunday School services at the Nashville Baptist Church the morning of May 20. Mrs. Nellie Moon of Nashville received special recognition at last Wednesday’s United Methodist Church mother­ daughter banquet. As a complete surprise to Mrs. Moon, she was feted for being the oldest active member in the local unit of United Methodist Women. Present at the banquet to award her an honorary certificate were Lansing District UMW executive officers, vice-president Joyce Plumhoss of Mason, and secretary Jean Hudson of Holt. Mrs. Moon also received a carnation corsage from the local United Women organization.

A potluck dinner, served by men of the church with some assistance from the young ladies, was enjoyed by the United Methodist mothers and daughters Wednesday evening. Mrs. Richard (Lucy) Martin sang the “Lord’s Prayer” as an invocation. Centerpieces made in the fashion of ladies’ hats under the direction of Mrs. Morris (Nita) Brown, decorated the tables. The traditional mother-daughter response was given by three generations: Mrs. Victor (Mabie) Brumm, Mrs. Justin (Grace) Cooley, and Gale Cooley. Musical en­ tertainment by gospel-singers, Redeeming Love Quartet of Hastings, was greatly enjoyed.

Sonya enjoyed swimming every day and Bill golfed daily. Readers will be interested to know that Rose Smith is recovery from a December heart attack. Al had successful cataract surgery in February and a plastic lens implant has restored perfect vision. However, he was hospitalized for two weeks in mid-March for chronic lung and bronchial conditions. He continued out-patient treatment, and both he and Rose are now showing improved health. Sonya reports they have tremendously enjoyed correspondence from friends here. Al has now returned to his job in the golf pro shop at the course in Fairway Village, the mobile home community where the Smiths have resided the past five years. A visit to former Nashville resident, Dr. Robert White and his wife, Loris, at Lake Panasoffkee, Florida was also en­ joyed by Sonya, who accompanied her parents there in early April. However, the Kjergaards missed seeing Tom and Carmen Maker, also former local residents, who now make their home at Orlando. But they visited by phone, and Senya reports they are happy and well as when, the Makers visited Nashville last summer. Slides on Alaska, and the Alaskan pipeline, are being shown locally on Monday, May 21, under sponsorship of Nashville’s newly-formed “Friends of the Library” organization. The 7:00 p.m. event, to be held at Castleton Township Hall on South Main Street, will feature Ted and Orpha Stiffler of Mulliken, who will be showing the Alaskan slides and conducting the presentation. Mrs. Stiffler is employed as a tour guide. FOL members also plant to conduct a story hour, in conjunction with the program, to entertain the younger children while their parents and older family members are enjoying the travelogue. The annual Mother-Daughter Banquet of the Nashville Baptist Church will be held at 7:00 p.m. Monday, May 21st, at the Maple Valley High School cafeteria. Carol Kent of Ft. Wayne, Indiana will be guest speaker for the event. The history, facilites, and even tales of the elusive “bat in the basement” at Putnam Public Library intrigued Fuller Street School fourth graders of Mrs. Geraldine Long’s class last week. However, the bat made no appearance when the youngsters took an extensive tour of the library last Tuesday, under the guidance of Librarian LaDuska Sheldon. The children had an opportunity to view all three floors of the building and were extremely interested in the background of the Putnam family, who formerly resided in the structure, and willed their residence, several hundred books and some antique furniture to start Nashville’s library in 1923. Old-style wedding classes will be featured in a fashion show of handmade clothing at the Nashville Church of the Nazarene mother-daughter banquet set for Friday evening, May 11. The potluck dinner will be followed by the style show and a display of hand-crafted items, including macrame, crocheted items, etc. Art items, such as oil paintings, are also slated for the exhibit. Mrs. Eliza Emery of Nashville will undergo hip surgery Wednesday, May 9, for replacement of a hip socket and joint due to injuries she suffered in a fall during a Florida visit, winter before last. She will be at Leila Post Hospital in Battle Creek. A recent weekend houseguest of Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville was Mrs. Arlie Stambaugh of Nashville, and Saturday afternoon callers were Mrs. Ramsey’s grandson, Jeff Weiler and friend, Brian, of Vermontville. Family Fun Evening is planned at the United Methodist Church for Friday evening, May 18. The 7:00 p.m. event will feature a variety of entertainment for family members of all ages. Those attending are asked to bring along games and “snack makings” which can be prepared at the church Community House kitchen. . Every mother present at Sunday morning worship ser­ vices at the Nashville United Methodist Church on May 13 will recieve a rose in honor of Mother’s Day. Mrs. Verna Frederick was an overnight visitor of Mrs. Dorothy Vickers of Battle Creek last week, and they were Wednesday evening callers on friends, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Lewis, of Battle Creek. Word has been received that Adolph Douse has had kidney surgery at Lakeland, Florida and expects to be recuperating for a month. He was released from the hospital last week and reported to be doing well. He would undoubtedly ap­ preciate hearing from his Nashville friends. Will Suntken of Nashville had additional out-patient tests at Leila Hospital in Battle Creek last week. This was the second series of tests Mr. Suntken has undergone for a persistent cough which has been bothering him. George Augustine of Nashville was taken to Leila Hospital in Battle Creek last Thursday night by the Nashville Am­ bulance. He had been suffereing complications from em­ physema since his recent return home from wintering in Florida. At the time of this report, it was unknown how long he will have to be confined.

(517) 852-9802 GEORGE HERMENITT �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, May 9, 1979 — Page 4 Memories of the past . . “Nashville has the three best blacksmiths in the county, also the three best looking milliners,’’ observed editor Orno Strong in 1873, shortly after he published the first Nashville News. Down through the years, the village smithy had provided a service vital to American industry and growth. And, some fifty years after Strong’s declaration, Nashville still had three blacksmiths (and two milliners), according to a 1926 Barry County Classified Business Directory. Jasper G. Deeds, Eldred S. Barney, and Phillip H. Penfold, all blacksmiths operating on Nashville’s Main Street, were listed in that early volume. But another longtime local smith, Frank Caley, had recently given up his profession to become a dry goods and groceries merchant after suffering severe injuries while shodding a horse. “He was kicked by a horse that the owner had called gentle,” recalls his daughter, Mrs. Mildred (Caley) McPeck. By that time, Midred’s grandfather, John Caley, then nearly 80, had also retired from smithing, a trade which had occupied most of his life. A native of the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, John Caley had come to America as a young lad. He married Caroline Bollo in New York state before migrating to Michigan and settling in Maple Grove Center. There be opened a blacksmith shop where he soon found his young son, Frank, always underfoot - asking to help hammer nails. As he grew to manhood, young Frank continued to learn the smithing trade from his father and, by 1903, the two had entered business together on Nashville’s South Main Street (in the present-day white-painted brick apartment building across from the Fargo Service Station). For the next 20 years, father and son operated Caley’s Blacksmithing until the accident misfortunate sidelined Frank. “Dad was unable to continue smithing because of chest injuries, so he sold the shop to Grandma Caley’s nephew, Jesse Campbell,” remembers Mrs. McPeck, “and bought Ward Quick’s grocery store on South Main.” Later, Caley moved his grocery business to the McDerby Block on North Main, at the corner of; Washington. Caley became active in civic affairs, serving nearly 25 years as Nashville’s Fire Chief and 12 years on the village council. Though shodding horses often proved a dangerous occupation for blacksmiths, and they are frequently considered only in that capacity, smithing was actually a multi-talented craft. “A blacksmith was often called a ‘farrier’ in those day,” noted Mrs. McPeck. They worked with iron and ususlly shod horses, but a person does not necessarily have to be a blacksmith to shoe a horse, she explained. Fan*iers shaped and welded all sorts of iron ob­ jects - hinges, latches, and irons, tools, and utensils. Working on buggy and wagon wheel rims also consumed much of their time. “I can remember Mother and Grandma Caley going to the shop to help set buggy tires and wagon wheels,” reminisced Mrs. McPeck. Phil Penfold,.another wellknown Nashville blacksmith, was also seriously injured by a normally-placid horse that became startled as he worked on the animal. “He had shod ‘kickers’ before,” recalls his daughter, Mrs. Velva (Penfold) Bitgood, “but this one was unexpected.” Trampled by the horse in the early 1930’s, Penfold continued to maintain his Main Street shop, just two doors south of the former Caley smithing operation, until his death in 1936. Though he kept the shop open, Penfold was able to work only part-time due to failing health precipated by the shoeing accident. Penfold owned a smithing business in Vermontville before coming to Nashville in 1916 to work for Norm Hagerman at his blacksmith shop on North Main, at the Phil Penfold, right, stands with two unidentified men at his Vermontville shop in the pre-1916 photo. He was later trampled by a horse at his Nashville shop on South Main, suffering injuries that limited his work..

When Hagerman retired, Penfold smithed for Jasper Deeds as his shop just north of the present-day Nashville Fire Barn. Penfold went into business for himself in 1920 when he opened a shop on a South A buggy rim, horseshoe and smithing toos are shown in this early photo of Caley's Blacksmithing on South Main, opened in 1903 by John Caley and his son Caleys Frank.

(Another longtime operator of the shop was a smithy by the name of Copeland who left Nashville for Chicago just prior to World War I). Some ten years after Bennett’s last anvil ring echoed through the shop, local artist Mary Holman brought new life to the structure when she opened an art gallery in the quaint old quarters, which have since been razed. Today, Orno Strong would find neither blacksmiths nor milliners on Nashville’s Main Street but memories of remains.

COLOR PRINT FILM 12 EXPOSURE I �The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Wednesday. May 9, 1979 — Page 6 Proposed improvement of Greggs Crossing bridge scrapped Public opposition to the proposed replacement of Greggs Crossing Bridge, west of Nashville, may have scuttled the project, it was disclosed at a public hearing Thursday. “We’re not pushing the project anymore,” said Jack Kineman, Barry Road Commission engineermanager. “Apparently nobody wants it.” Kineman spoke at a meeting called by Sylvia Dulaney, Barry County Grants Coordinator, to seek citizen input on use of a potential $170,000 grant available to the townships of Castleton and Maple Grove and the village of Nashville as a unit. The funds are offered under a U.S. Housing and Urban Development Communtiy Block Grant which received pre­ application approval in April. Proponents of the bridge project had suggested allocating $50,000 of the HUD grant to add to federal and state grants which would pay 90 percent of the $192,000 construction costs for replacing the bridge. The additional local funding was needed to acquire property right-of-way and build new bridge approaches. “I am surprised at the opposition we have had to the bridge project”, Kineman told the audience. He said the crossing was on the state’s “critical bridges” list. It is considered too short, too narrow, and has been limited in load capacity to seven tons. Justin Cooley, supervisor of Castleton Township in which Gregg’s Crossing Bridge is located, concurred with Kineman. He said he has also encountered op­ position to the proposed replacement of the present iron truss bridge. Cooley explained the township could not afford to replace the span if it should give out in a few years. Though local funds were sought, in part, to acquire right-of-way, Kineman revealed Thursday that a OPENING.. MAY 24th Ceylon and Nadine's Green House GARDEN PLANTS and FLOWERS property owner whose land would be needed for the project had opposed it and had enlisted the Michigan United Conservation Club in his behalf. Kineman said he had met Wednesday with the property owner and representatives of the MUCC. Opponents of the new bridge have cited what they consider the high cost of the new span for the low traffic volume on the sparsely populated county road. And some have said the HUD funds should be used in projects more beneficial to the entire Castelton-Maple Grove-Nashville community. The HUD grant could also include $210,000 for housing rehabilitation and $25,000 for country administration of the program. “The HUD Block Grant funds are some of the freest dollars available from the govern­ ment,” commented Miss Dulaney. “It allows in­ dividual tailoring to your community needs.” Citizen input on proposed uses for the community funds included new am­ bulance housing, a senior citizen center, community building, and development of a community recreational park. Miss Dulaney explaned various eligibility requirements for such projects under the HUD grant which, she said, is designed to primarily aid low and moderate income Located: on M-66,1Vi miles N. of Nashville Phone (517) 852-9086 Nashville; 25th CELEBRATION TRUMBLE Insurance Agency Although Greggs Crossing Bridge is on the state's "critical bridges" list, public opposition to the proposed replacement of the span apparently has scuttled the project. Federal and state grants are available to pay for 90 percent of the $192,000 costs for replacing the bridges. However, opponents of the project consider the cost to be high for the low traffic volume on the sparsely populated country road. Local funds of $50,000 would be needed along with the grant monies to replace the span. persons and minorities. Mrs. Winifred Keller, Barry County Planning and Zoning Director, was present to explain the housing rehabilitation program, part of the HUD Block Grant. She reported that a similar Orangeville Township project has provided such improvements as insulation, plumbing, storm windows, furnaces, roofs, and bathrooms to homes for eligible low-income owners. “The program has really helped our elderly in Orangeville Township,” Mrs. Keller added. She said there are no strings attached to the housing grants, and she advised local officials act as contacts for qualified homeowners who may be skeptical of the project. Each HUD rehabilitation project must bring the home up to state building code requirements within the limits of the monetary grant allocation, which was set at $5,000 per home in Orangeville Township. If a home cannot be brought up to standard within this alloted amount, it will not be included in the project. Miss Dulaney said she anticipated the per-home allocation will be somewhat higher than $5,000 when the Nashville program is approved.

Not everyone is so fortunate, how­ ever most of us are glad to honor mother on special occasions and day by day. They tell us that the first five or even three years of life determines the kind of person we will become. How important then to be loved and cared for by a good mother. Even though my own mother has been gone for 36 years I have not forgotten her love and concern for me. Besides making sure my ears were clean she introduced me to the Bible, and saw to it that I spoke correctly. She helped me gain an interest in reading and learning. With these fond memories, I join with you in honoring all of our mothers. Reverend Leonard F. Putnam Michigan National Bank 194 S.

May 9. 1979__Page 13 From Kellogg and Fuller Schools- Good citizen of the weekThis week at Fuller and Kellogg Schools in Nashville, an exception has been made to allow six students to share the spotlight for outstanding citizenship awards. Nor­ mally, only three students — each from different classes — are chosen for the honor each week. Selected for'citizenship honors this week are Lori Smith, Anthony Jason D’ Onofrio, Daniel Lykins, Sarah Curtis, and Jeff Hamilton. Lori, a third grade student at Fuller Street School, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Smith of N. Queen St. Lori, 8, enjoys cooking, reading and playing softball. She also sings in the choir at church. Math and reading are her favorite subjects in school. In naming Lori for the award, her teacher, Mrs. Anthony Jason D’Onofrio Nancy Ricketts said, “Lori is not only an outstanding student but she is just an allaround good citizen. She is always willing to help out with a smile on her face. Lori is a kind, considerate, and very responsible student” • Anthony, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry D’Onofrio-of Queen St., says his favorite activities are writing stories, bike riding, and playing basketball and baseball. A first grader at Fuller, Anthony picks recess and handwriting as his main interests in school. He was selected for the honor by his teacher, Mrs. Becky Stark. She said An­ thony, 7, is a “hard worker, serious about school, good helper, neat, and has a pleasant attitude.” Daniel Lykins, 12, is a sixth grade student at Kellogg Elementary. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lykins of Thor­ napple Lake Road, Daniel said his primary interests are animals, nature, plants, and canoeing. The subjects he enjoys most at school are math, reading, English, and science. Sarah Curtis is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Curtis of Law Road. Sarah, 12, said her hobbies / are acrobatics, playing the flute, riding horses, and participating in “most sports.” Her favoritie subjects in the sixth grade are math and reading. Jeff Hamilton, son of Mr. and Mrs. Duane Hamilton of Bivens Road, is interested in basketball, football and track. He is 11 years old and in the sixth grade. Math and social studies are Jeff’s favorite subjects at Kellogg. “These students are respectful to adults and fellow students, dependable, helpful and have a good sense of humor,” said their teacher Steve Slag. In fact Mr. Slag feels he has such an exceptional class that he wanted to name 14 students as good citizens this week, “...as many of the students in this class are great and make teaching fun.” That would have conflicted with the established proceedure for the citizenship awards, however, but the rules were bent this one time to allow him to pick three students for the award. Named to receive honorable mention in Mr. Slag’s class are the following students who possess out­ standing traits of a good citizen: Mike Barnhart, Heidi Braden, Mike Brewer, Kyle Christopher, Lori Ebersole, Chuck Elliston, Duska Morowski, Bob Napier, Loretta Spidel, Jim Symonds, and Lynnette Williams.

No. 52 - Wednesday, May 16, 1979 Council OK’s free sewer hook-up for 67 homes I There will be no “up front” sewer hookup charge for 67 village homes that must be reconnected to new waste water collection lines when Nashville’s proposed new $3,396,105. project is in­ stalled, village officials decided at Thursday’s council meeting. Twenty-seven of the“free” reconnects are homes presently served by a Lentz Street collection line that must be lowered to eliminate costly installation and maintenance of a lift station of the village’s east side. The remainder of the 67 homes are presently paying sewer-use charges fpr septic systems flowing into storm drains that run ito the Thornapple River or Quaker Brook. . Trustee Lonny Kienutske reported that consultation with Bruce Kuffer of William and Works in Grand Rapids, engineers for the proposed project, has established there will be 183 additional homes' added to the new system under current plans. Nashville is presently seeking federal and state grants totaling 80 percent of the project cost for con­ struction of the new system, including collection lines, lift stations, and a waste water treatment facility to be located west of the village. An additional 10 percent state grant may help fund the treatment plant. In other business, village officials approved employeerecommended amendments to an inter-departmental in the current village pension procedure plan would not lose any adopted by the council in benefits in the changeover, March.. he said. “The employees had read In other business, a 3-2 a lot l into it (the original vote of the council approved procedure) that wasn’t hiring of Scott Decker as a there, ” eexplained Trustee Department of Public Works Ted Spoelstra, head of a employee at the rate of $4.75 special commitee that per hour for a 90-day recently met with all village probationary period, which employees to review the upon satisfactory completion procedure.. will provide a 25 cent hourly The council had sought increase.

The with other employees. high turnover in village employees was cited as one reason for switching to the IRA plan which White called “less cumbersome” than the current pension program started in 1974. “Things have changed a lot since then,” noted White. He indicated the village Dennis Casteele will speak would probably end up at the 7 p.m. Thursday, May saving money due to the 24th meeting of the Ver“pure simplicity” of the IRA montville Historical Society system.

Written em­ ployment applications, filed with the village clerk, are available for review by all council persons at any time and Kienutske and Hinckley warned that divulging ap­ plicant information at a public meeting could lead to problems. By a unanimous vote the council gave qualified ap­ proval to the hiring of Rick Ross as village zoning adminstrator. Ross, a college student, must agree to accept the part-time post for the stipulated yearly salary of $1,200. Bids on demolition of the old “standpipe” water tower n Putnam unam Park ar were ae in were tabled pending allocation of funds for the project, Hinckley reported^ He also said bids on blacktopping Cleveland and Middle Streets and a downtown parking area would be presented at the next council meetng.

Mailbox Improvement Week - May 21-26 The Postal Service designates a week during May each year when customers on rural and city motorized delivery routes are encouraged to examine and improve, where necessary, the appearance of their mailboxes. The week of May 21-26 has been selected this year. The purpose of Mailbox Improvement Week is to call attention to the need for providing mail receptacles which are designed to protect the mail from the weather and are neat in appearance of the coun­ tryside and the streets in suburban areas. Mailboxes that meet these four important requirement contribute to a more efficient delivery operation, and the result is improved service to the entire route. There are two approved styles of boxes: Traditional design in three standard sizes, and contemporary design. On rural routes, mailboxes of the approved tr? iitional or contemporary aes..gn are required whenever a mailbox is newly installed or an unsuitable receptacle is replaced. If the use of street or road names and house numbers has been authorized, the house number will be shown on the box. If the box is located on a street or road other than the one on which the customer resides, the street name and house number must be inscribed on the box. In all instances, placing the owner’s name on the box is optional. Due to varying road and curb conditions, and other factors, it is recommended that customers contact the postmaster or carrier prior to initially erecting or replacing their mailbox and support. On city motorized routes with curbline delivery, it is recommended that the box be either the approved traditional rural type box or an approved suburban box of contemporary design. Boxes designed primarily for use by customers receiving door delivery are difficult to serve efficiently from a vehicle. However, any box that gives protection to the mail and allows safe, convenient delivery from the carrier’s vehicle is acceptable.. Conf, page 11 — �The Maple Valiev New*, Nashville, Wednesday May 16. 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Although Christmas may not be uppermost in most folks’ minds right now, an appeal is being made to local residents and merchants to contribute to Nasvhille’s Chamber of Commerce Christmas Street Decorating Fund. The organization’s goal is to raise approximately $360 by the end of May to purchase lamp post decorations from Bronner’s in Frankenmuth at seasonal discounts. An on-going program by the Chamber has attempted to add at least one new street decoration each year. Last year, a raffle of two merchantdonated bicycles raised enough funds to purchase one new lamp post decoration in June and establish the decorating fund. Merchants will soon be placing canisters in their in­ dividual stores to collect community donations. Irene Goodnoe, secretary of the organization and a member of the Chamber’s Civic Improvement Committee will also be calling on all businessmen for contributions to the Christmas fund. Let’s all help to brighten our village for the coming hiliday season; a contribution now will add special “ joy to Christmas 1979. Allen Staskus of rural Nashville is confined at Mary Free Bed Hospital in Grand Rapids undergoing physical therapy for paralysis.

Gayion and Marie Fisher of Nashville returned home in April from a winter’s stay at Apache Junction, Arizona, then after a brief rest headed north to smelt fish at “Singing Bridge” near Tawas City./The Fishers didn’t catch many fish but ended up with dandy colds, though the weather was fairly pleasant. After four months in Arizona, the Fishers took the long way back to Michigan, calling on former Lake Odessa residents, Rev. and Mrs. Irving Yonkers at Jackson, Miss. About a week later, the disastourous flood hit that region but as far as the Fishers now know, the Yonkers were not affected. The suburb in which they live was not in the inundated area. The Fishers had a pleasant winter in Arizona, enjoying several visits from Friends and relatives who made trips to the southwest.

A flurry of activity has been going on at Sandyland Park in preparation for opening of the summer season. Among the recent project was the addition of children’s playground equipment in the picnic area near the mam gate, to keep the youngsters entertained while Mom and Dad are watching the shows. The “gremlins” apparently got into last week’s column and completely deleted two lines of print intended to let readers know that Ralph Richardson of Nashville, recent returnee from a winter’s stay in Florida, was elected in February to head the organization responsible for the Barry County picnic, a'major social affair held yearly at Bradenton. With Ralph as president, his wife, Gladys, was “drafted” to accept the post of secretary-treasurer for the upcoming year. Over 230 Barry County residents attended the event this year. Perhaps the “gremlins” were also responsible for the confusing item on the Mother-Daughter Banquet at the Nashville church of the Nazarene. Old-style wedding dresses (not classes) were shown at the Friday evening event. The gowns were part of a fashion showing of hand­ made clothing, in addition to a variety of arts and crafts on display following the dinner. Special Wednesday evening instructional classes for Sunday School teachers and church workers are being conducted at the Nasvhile Baptist Church. The weekly meetings start at 6:30 p.m. The annual Mother-Daughter Banquet of the Nashville Baptist Church is slated for 7:00 p.m. Monday, May 21st, at the Maple Valley High School cafeteria. Guest speaker for the event will be Carol Kent of Ft. Wayne, Indiana. Eight Nashville men, all certified ambulance attendants and December graduates of a 120-hour Emergency Medical Technician training course taught at Pennock Hospital under the auspices of Grand Valley State College, faced additional state certification testing recently. The Nashville EMT’s completed a 3-hour, 200-question written exam at Kalamazoo’s Bronson Hospital on April 28th. In a few weeks, they will face an additional 3-hour practical test, also at Bronson. Successful completion of the state testing will confer the designation of Michigan Certified Emergency Medical Technician on the men. Those taking the recent testing were: John Joseph, Bernard Hoffman, Tony Frith, James Cooley, William Eastman, Lee Christopher, Douglas Aspinall, and John Mason. The Nashville Fire Department recently responded to a kitchen grease fire at the Larry Little residence south of town but were notified enroute that the homeowner had successfully extinguished the blaze. Mrs. Adrien (Robie) Pufpaff of Nashville will undergo surgery for cataracts on Wednesday, May 16th, at Com­ munity Hospital in Battle Creek. She has had similar surgery on her other eye in the past. The annual MVHS Honors Night will be held at the high school auditorium at 7:30 p.m. next Tuesday, May 22nd. Student awards and some senior scholarships will be an­ nounced at that time. Congratulations to Mrs. Emily Hafner who will celebrate her 99th birthday on Monday, May 21. Mrs. Hafner, who makes her home with her daughter, Genevieve Hafner of Nashville, is Nashville’s oldest resident, to the best of our knowledge. Hospitalized this past winter, she spent two months at the Barry County Medical Care Facility later, but improved enough to return home the first of March. Though frail, Mrs. Hafner is still very alert. We send her best wishes for a happy birthday and hope our readers will remember Mrs. Hafner with a card. Wayne and Sherry Gould of Nashville enjoyed a recent 4­ day weekend trip to Talladega, Alabama to see the Winston 500 stock car race, which was won by race driver Bobby Allison. The Goulds were accompanied on the trip by Don and Betty Hanson of Battle Creek. Though some of the major drivers were sidelined inthe competition, the race was enjoyable and good weather prevailed throughout the trip. Petie Latta of Nashville entertained her granddaughter, Leslie Gould, while her parents were in the south. Putnam Public Library has received many donations of books and periodicals the past few weeks.

Mrs. Day, a former resident of the Barryville area, received the recognition at the monthly meeting of the church’s United Methodist Women organization. She By Susan Hinckley received a Certificate of Appreciation signed by Edna Crothers and Maudy Williams, officers of the UMW Lansing District. Mrs. Day has been a lifelong member of the Barryville church. Correction on last week’s report that a reunion of the Class of 1954 was slated in conjunction with the upcoming June 2nd alumni banquet. A reunion of the Class of ‘54 is being planned but will not be held until July 14. Mrs. Lamoin (Gladys Jarrard) Mitchell is making arrangements for the event to be staged at St. Cyril’s Community Hall in Nash­ ville. Sorry about the confusion the erroneous report may have caused. Gladys is currently getting invitations for the class reunion our to her classmates, and has been obtaining graduates’ addresses from Judy Hook, who has been han­ dling mailing of alumni banquet invitations to Nashville grads. But there is no connection between the two events. Recent returnees to Nashville from the sunny south are Mrs. Gunda Pennock and Leonard Shull, who both wintered at Bradenton. Tom “Tad” Davis of Nashville flew to Florida to drive his grandmother, Mrs. Pennock, and his great­ uncle, Mr. Shull, back to Michigan. All but a few of Nashville’s “snowbirds” have now “flown” home and our Michigan weather last week decided to extend them a warm welcome. Happy to see all these nice folks back in town. Mrs. Jean Jensen of Jackson spent a week with her mother, Mrs. J. Robert (May) Smith of Nashville, caring for her granddaughter, Holly Taylor, while Holly’s parents, Tom and Anne Taylor, acted as chaperones on the recent MVHS senior trip. Tom is a teacher in our local school system. Fifty-one weary MVHS seniors and four adult chaperones returned to Nashville last Tuesday after an exciting but exhausting 6-day trip to Washington, D.C. and New York City. Accompanying the seniors were Mr. and Mrs. Tom Taylor and Mr. and Mrs. Bill Kipp. An all-night ride ona chartered bus took the'group from Nashville to Washington in 12 hours. There, they toured many traditional spots, in­ cluding Mt. Vernon, Arlington Cemetary, the White House, and Smithsonian Institute. On the third day, the group departed for New York City where, upon arrival, they spent many hours walking city sidewalks to view a multitude of sights, among them the Statue of Liberty, Chinatown, Greenich Village, Times Square, the United Nations * building, Lincoln Centef, and Broadway. A New York subway ride was a new experience for most of the local youngsters, and the visit was concluded with a fabulous dinner at Mama Leone’s Italian Restaurant. Another night­ long ride on the chartered bus brought the weary travelers home Tuesday forenoon. Reports are the journey was thoroughly enjoyed by the students who, though exhausted, appreciated the opportunity to view life in a large city. The Nashville Assembly of God Church will host the Living Apostles, gospel singers, for four consecutive , evening services beginning Wednesday, May 16, and con-' eluding with a Sunday morning worship service per­ formance, May 20.

Students from the Kellogg School in Nashville will entertain Nashville senior citizens at their Nutrition Site Wednesday, May 16. The youngsters contacted the senior group and offered to perform a square dancing demon­ stration, a gesture which was greatly appreciated by the senior citizens. An audio system to facilitate enjoyment of speakers and performers at the Nashville Senior Citizen’s Nutrition Site in the Masonic Temple was acquired last week. Donations from the senior citizens will pay for the sound equipment. Mrs. Veda Guy of Nashville enjoyed a recent trip to Bristol, Indiana to visit her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Kendall Guy, then spent a day with son, Jerry Guy, at Augusta to attend the graduation of his wife, Schelly, from adult education classes at Galesburg-Augusta School.

The women, all sisters and sisters-in-law, meet every month for a visiting and activities session. At last week’s get-together the ladies enjoyed preparing floral arrangements for the upcoming Decoration Day ob­ servance. Congratulations to Orla Belson of Nashville whp celebrated his 89th birthday, May 11. The event was marked with a family gathering at his home Friday evening. The April activity report for the Nashville Police Department, presented at Thursday’s council meeting, showed a wide variety of complaints handled by Sgt. Koetje and Officer Long. Fifty complaints were reported, with three assists to other police departments. Among local department calls were 4 open doors, 2 fights, 2 possible abductions, 7 suspicious person and prowler complaints, 6 cases of malicious destruction of property, 4 harassment calls, 2 larcenies, 3 family fights, 1 bad check, 2 abandoned cars, and 1 stolen license plate. The officers gave 12 assists to individuals, issued 7 tickets, and presented one safety program. They drove a total of 1,630 miles during April, using 174 gallons of gasoline. Two local residents, Mrs. Velva Bitgood and Mrs. Pearl Staup, believe the unidentified man in the photo of Norm Hagerman’s Blacksmith Shop (in last.week’s “Memories” story) is Lyle Maxson. They recall that he often wore stripped overalls and walked past the North Main Street shop on his way to work. Maxson, employed by Michigan Central Railroad, lived on Kellogg Street, north of Thor­ napple River. Mrs. Staup also noted that the Nashville blacksmith listed as “Eldred S. Barney” in a 1926 Barry County Classified Business Directory (mentioned in last week’s story) was probably really Barney S. Eldred, a well-known local smith.

The 4-H office is once again sponsoring its annual Grand River Raft and Canoe trip. The dates are June 9-10. Anyone interested in building a raft or borrowing a canoe is invited to come along-you don’t have to be a 4-H member (those 14 years old or younger must be accompanied by an adult). The 4-H office has access to a few canoes if you need to borrow one. Your raft can be a club project. Each raft should hold about six to eight people, and one of these people should be at least 16 years old. Each raft (or canoe) will be an in­ dependent unit-responsible for preparing its own meals and setting up camp Saturday night. All rafts and canoes should have one firstaid kit as well as a life preserver for each person on board. We will be putting into the Grand River at Fitzgerald Park in Grand Ledge at 10:00 a.m. sharp, Saturday, June 9th. There will be a car or truck available to pack teqts and other camping gear in. You will want to keep something to drink and eat as we will be having lunch right on the river. We plan to camp at the Chief Okemos Burial Grounds on Musgrove Road (between Martha and Welfare Rds.). You and your raft or canoeing party should plan to have as much food along as you feel you will need, insulated storage containers to prevent spoilage, and the equipment you will need for meal Sixth graders entertain patients at Barry Medical Facility with square dancing Residents at the Barry County Medical Care Facility enjoyed watching the square dancing of sixth grade students from Kellogg Elementary School in Nashville last Friday. The students have been polishing up their square dance skills in their gym clashes, under the direction of their instructor Liz VanderMolen. The group has also performed for their locql PTO, at the talent show during Vermontville's Maple Syrup Festival, and are looking forward to dancing next Wednesday for the senior citizens in Nashville. _ Dancers were Greg Lenz, Kim Roush, Jeff Hamilton, Shannon Decker, Danny Lykins, Karen Long, Jess Bahs, Sarah Curtis, Gary Reid, Patty Sprague, Lynnette Williams, Dawn Cogswell, Robert Brown, Duska Morawski, Julius Maurer, and Dede Wolf.

The Ohlers purchased the plant, located south of Nashville at 725 S.

The family is involved in all facets of the business, and watching the production of blocks from start to finish is a fascinating process. A fine block sand is mixed with pea stone, cement, and water to comprise the mixture that is used to make the blocks. The blocks are formed in the Bergen Trimatic (3-Block) Machine and then are placed on racks to be taken into the kiln where they will be cured with steam and heat.

A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative' Wetlands Sold - Now in the House is SB 3, which would regulate use of the state’s wetlands. It was approved by the Senate after much debate and many attempted amend­ ments by a vote of 25 to 8; a similar struggle is expected soon in the House. Split Budget - Headlee makes the state maintin the proportion of budget used for local programs as occurs in this year. The ratio for 1979-80 is out of whack and $106 Million needs to be cut from programs to adjust it. Prison Program - Governor Milliken has proposed that the state spend $404 Million to build more prisons. However, some legislative leaders have questioned this and suggested that non-prison alternatives like parole should be con­ sidered. Comp Plan • A Republican Task Force on Labor has developed a discussion paper setting forth a detailed set of Workers’ Comp issues and potential approaches to solution. Bottom line - no increased cost to business with higher benefits offset by abuse elimination. The Task Force will solicit views ofworkers and employers on the points. Conflict Conflict - HB 4325-26 are supposed to prevent conflicts of interest by requiring complete financial disclosure by state and local officials and by their spouses and children. Already there has been much testimony against this, contending that broad disclosure requirements will force many good people off of low-paying local boards and commissions. Crime Rate - The State Police have reported that serious crime in Michigan in 1978 was below the 1977 level, and that the rate was below the national average for the third con­ secutive year. However, all crime was still up by some 2 percent, violent crime up by 0.5 percent. No-Fault Feet - The State Court of Appeals has ruled that people who carry no-fault insurance on their cars and are injured as pedstrians have a right to collect benefits. But if they don’t have their own-fault, they may seek benefits from the driver that hit them. Subway Stop? - In two recent votes the House has taken different positions on the question of preliminary funding for a subway for Detroit. This reflects the close division of opinion on whether the state should spend many millions on something that will benefit Just that area. Jobs Down - Michigan’s unemployment rate for April was the highest in nearly two years. The 8.6 percent rate for that month represents 366,000 people out of work. The Em­ ployment Security Commission says the Teamsters dispute may have affected the work rate during April.

The money will be used to pur­ chase two new lamp post Christmas decorations at summer discount prices. Irene Goodnoe, Chamber secretary, will be contacting local merchants and business owners for in­ dividual donations to the fund. In an on-going program, the Nashville Chamber of Commerce has attempted to add at least one new lamp post decoration each year. Last summer, a raffle of two donated bicycles raised enough money to buy one summer-discounted Christmas decoration and establish a street-decorating fund. In other business relating to the 1979 Yuletide season, Andrus named a committee to plan a Christmas parade, the arrival of Sants, and the placement of Sants’s house in Central Park. Serving with Andrus on the Christ­ mas committee will be David Mace, Mary Porter, Terril Thomas, and Sharon Brumm. Other discussion at the meeting included the Nash­ ville Bucks gas coupon promotion; the ordering of additional Nashville tourist brochures, and tentative plans for merchant promotions to coincide with the annual sheriff’s posse “pony express’’ ride which is slated to pass through Nash­ ville, June 9th. Bob Abendroth, Chamber member and also a member of the Barry County Sheriff’s Posse, will obtain additional information on the event so that more details may be furnished for publication in the near future. During President Andrus’ report to the organization, the group learned that “if a suitable office lication can be found here, Nashville could very well end up as headquarters of the new Kent-Barry-Eaton Connecting Railroad.” Andrus told of a recent meeting in Nashville with Jean Miller, a represen­ tative of K-B-E Railroad-the company which expects to assume operation of the present Conrail system, June 1st. Also present at the recent meeting with Andrus and Mitchell were Jim Bordon, Barry County Commissioner for Middleville, and Sylvia Dulaney, Barry County Grants Coordinator. Andrus said K-B-E- of­ ficials are looking for a central railroad office location with nearby storage space for 12 railroad cars plus an engine. He indicated Hastings, Middleville and Nashville are being con­ sidered by K-B-E but said the company “will locate where they have the most attractive offer” and “where they can best function and operate.” They prefer an area close to trackage, so office and yards would be in close range, and office □ Simon Pharmacy only Ad Graphics, Inc. at Hastings, publishers of the Maple Valley News, The Reminder, and several other publications.

Miss Flora Boston, daughter of Nashville’s Memories of the past . . enterprising by Susan Hinckley Women far outnumbered men on Nashville’s school faculty seventy years ago. Only two men were among ten teachers employed to instruct students from kindergarten through 12th grade for the 1908-09 academic year. With a staff comprised of so few mem­ bers, administrators often found themselves cast in dual or triple roles. One of the best remembered was Prof. Charles W. Appleton, newly-hired Superintendant ........ ']) **......... 'll ’Wks® * 'll irm th inof Schools and irmth structor who beca became me a popular athletic coach the same year. “He was an outgoing individual,” recalls one local senior citizen. Appleton and his family lived on Middle Street, just north of the old Dr. Vance home across from the school, and he led a very successful football team in both the 1909 and 1910 seasons. When Appleton left Nash­ ville in 1915, it was to accept a similar post with the Lake Odessa school. However, he reportedly became disillusioned with his position there and gave up Ap­ teaching altogether. pleton spent the rest of his life as a Lansing life in­ surance agent. Principal Russell Wightman, a math and chemistry teacher, was cast in a similar role-serving as assistant football coach in those early days. “He was a real quiet type,” remembers Mrs. Helen Hecker whose late husband, Vern, was a member of Nashville’s 1908 football team, directed by Appleton and Wightman. Although Helen was only a 5th grader at the time, she recalls Wightman well. “He married while he was here-a girl from away-and brought his bride to live in Nashville,” she noted. “They set up housekeeping in the second house north of the present-day South End Grocery Store.” The Wightmans left Nashville after a short time and they may have moved to southern state, perhaps Florida. In addition to Supt. Ap­ pleton and Principal Wightman, eight females c6mprised the balance of the 1908 teaching staff. Miss Florence Grohe was responsible for the primary department. “She was a tiny little lady who never married,” recalls Mrs. Hecker, “but she loved those kindergarten kids as if they were her own.” Florence Proudly displaying a school pennant are boys of the lived with her parents in the Class of 1909, left to right: twins Eltie and Elzie present-day Matson home at Clifford, and Orlan Boston, whose older sister.

Her younger brother, Orlan, was a graduate in the Class of 1909. Another brother, Irving, became a local legend when he died heroically trying to rescue a young skater who had fallen through the ice on the frozen Thornapple River. Both drowned in the tragedy. Miss Nina Chappel, who taught third and fourth grades in 1908, lived at her family home on South Queen Street, and remained in the Nashville school system several years. Vesta Lewis, who came to Nashville from Three Rivers to teach fifth and sixth grades, also stayed a number of years. Miss Minnie Dunham, 7th and 8th grade teacher, made a lasting impression on many of her youngstudents. Some considered her very “strict” but she was ap­ parently an effective in­ structor, labeled “a good teacher” by others. Having previously taught at the Me Kelvey School in Maple Grove Township, Miss Dunham lived with her parents on South Main, in the present-day Meehan home. Miss Mary Ruthrauff, high school Latin and German instructor, also lived on Nashville’s south side, rooming with the Reynolds family on Durkee Street, in the present-day Boughton home. Mary was obviously as young in heart as in age. “I can remember running a foot race with Miss Ruthrauff after school one day," recalls Mrs. Clarence (Bunny) Shaw, a sophomore in the 1908-09 school year, who later became a longtime Nashville teacher herself. Little is remembered of Miss Nell Bradley except that she was a high school history and English instructor who moved to Grass Lake when she left Nashville.

Each of the three-year-old tots during the morning tea on Friday gave their moms a very personalized message written on bright colored construction paper and decorated with a print of their very own hand. The words on the paper were written by the teacher who had asked each child to 'tell why “My Mom is the Best Mom...” “My Mom is the best Mom because she makes cookies for me and lets me have two said one puppies,” said one youngster. Other responses were ...because she goes outside with me”. because she is special when w e stays home, and when she combs my hair”...“because she makes supper and pours milk”...“because she loves me.” All of the Moms received a “Best Mom Award” from their youngster as they arrived at Nursery School Friday morning and the “tea” concluded with the serving of punch and cookies the children had made themselves. Teachers at the Nursery are Joanne Kelty and Merry Lee Osseinheimer. Enrollments for the 1979-80 school year are being accepted now. The nursery is geared for 48 youngsters who are divided into several classes.

Corkwell, Clerk Try a wine and cheese party for spring — After the long winter, you may wish to try a Michigan wine and cheese tasting party to welcome spring. Our state’s 14 wineries produce every type of wine, including appetizer, dinner, sparkling and cooking wines, to rank Michigan sixth among wine producing states, according to the Michigan Department of 'Agriculture. Michigan’s 15 cheese factories produce about 33 million pounds of natural cheeses annually, with each variety distinctive in flavor, body and texture. There are no firm or definite rules in matching cheeses and wines. Try miking and matching to discover new combinations! For. a perfect blend between County pavement marking up for bids* Pavement marking on various Barry County roads at an approximate cost of $70,000 with a November, 1979 completion date is one of 34 highway and airport construction and main­ tenance projecs to be put up for bid Wednesday, May 16 by the Michigan Department of Transportation. Bids on all projects will be opened at 10:30 a.m. in the Priidden Auditorium of Lansing’s Civic Center cheese and wine, be sure neither flavor dominates. Light, dry white wines should be served with light cheeses that, are delicate in flavor. Heavy, full-bodied wines should be served with cheeses with pronounced flavor. When preparing a tasting party, allow four to six ounces of cheese and a half bottle of wine for each guest. Open red wines an hour before serving to allow them time to “breathe” and develop a full bouquet. Cheese, with bread and crackers, helps to neutralize the palate between wines. Offering cheese in large portions permits guests to slice the amount they wish. Be sure to provide plenty of knives to avoid mixing various cheese flavors. When serving wines, have guests sample dry win6s first, white and red, then sweet wines, again offering white before red. Tasting a glass of sweet wine first, spoils the tastebuds for drier wines. To keep from com­ bining wine flavors and aromas, you will need to rinse out each glass after each wine. For anticipated wine tastings, building a “library of bottles,” a small wine cellar, is not a difficult task. A clean, dry, well-ventilated dark comer away from hot water pipes will do. Corking allows wine to continue maturing in bottle. Store bottles horizontally so wine is in constant contact with the cork. This prevents the cork from becoming too dry and shrinking, which would let air seep into the bottle. Iff air should reach the wine, it begins to oxidize, losing its color, bouquet and aroma.

Horsemen will approach the village from two directions in the traditional fund­ raising event Planned as a reenactment of the original 1860 Pony Express when daring hor­ seback riders transported mail between Missouri and California at incredible speed, the local riders will also carry letters which will reach the U.S. mail service. Running in one-mile relays, members of the Cass County Sheriffs Posse will leave the junction of M-66 and M-43 nine miles north of Nashville at 8:00 a.m. Meanwhile, riders from the Sanilac County Sheriff’s Posse will begin heading north from Three Bridges (junction of M-79 and M-M south of Nashville). Cass County will terminate their relay at M-79 west (Woodard’s Mobdservice) and Sanilac will continue into Hastings carrying their bundles of mail. Each letter carried by the Michigan posses will receive a special postmark indicating it has been carried in the Pony Express and at the termination point will be forwarded to its destination through the U.S. Postal System. Commerative letterhead and envelopes may be ob­ tained locally at Security National Bank. Each ad­ dressed letter, with first class postage affixed, should be enclosed in an outer plain envelope in which the sender may place a donatin for the posse which each year uses the proceeds for various charitable causes. Letters may be given in advance to a posse member, taken to the Barry County Sheriff’s Department, or handed to a rider enroute. Estimated arrival time in Nashville of the riders from the north is between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m. Nashville merchants are currently planning a day­ long Saturday sidewalk sale to coincide with the June 9th Pony Express event �The Maple Valley New*.

Other newly-elected officers of the organization are: 1st Vice-President, Alice Me Millen; 2nd Vice-President, Delores Knoll; Secretary, Marge Wolff; Corresponding Secretary, Margaret Swiger; and Treasurer, Ardis Purchis. Members and guests enjoyed a lovely breakfast with Mrs. Barb Sandbrook and Mrs. Ardis Purchis assisting Mrs. Myers as the Tea Committee.

Also recognized was the newest member present, Mrs. Margaret Bateman. She joined the club in 1970 when she retired to her hometown of Nashville after living in Detroit. Following the business meeting, a display of antique post­ cards was shown by guest Susan Hinckley. Club members were also very helpful in offering historical background on the organization for a planned “Memories” feature on the WLC, the oldest continuous club in Nashville. Formed in 1900 as the Bay View Club, it was reorganized in 1905 as the Woman’s Literary Club.

By Susan Hinckley When Edward Liebhauser set about building a barn on his property west of Nashville some 63 years ago, he gave it great throught and planning. But he may not have realized he was creating a long-lasting landmark for the com- munity. “As a child, I always knew we were getting near Nash­ ville when I could see the round barn,” remembers Mrs. Robert Tobias. She and her husband are now owners of the 12-sided structure situated high atop Oversmith Hill on M-79. Dormer windows added in the 1920's by Frank Tobias, new owner of Liebhauser's barn, added increased ventilation and viewing to the landmark structure now the property of Frank's son, Robertt Tobias.

Robert’s father, Frank Tobias, was a tenant farmer on the Liebhauser property when Edward decided to construct ms marvelous barn in 1916. Though the barn’s shape has attracted gawkers and photographers for many years, the design was chosen for a practical reason. “It was terrifically windy on that hill, ” explains Ed’s son, Charles Liebhauser.

The three of us are working hard to find positive, satisfying ways of dealing with the increased pressures on our family life. One solution has been to drive in for dinner with Howard on nights when he is working late. Michael chooses on these occasions to ride_home with his father “just to talk.” And as all parents would, we treasure his comments about his new life. When they talked about our evenings at the White House, he asked, “Why don’t I ever get an invitation?” He described his frustration at not getting to shake the President’s hand recently“President Carter ignored me and he was only two feet away.” And when Michael heard about the Washington street people who sleep on top of steam vents in the winter to keep warm, he passionately vowed, “If I ever meet one of them, I will give him $100.00 for an apartment or a new winter coat.” When Howard was lost during one of those bewildering attempts to maneuver across town and over the Potomac, Michael said, “Dad, you may be a terrific politician, but as a regular person...” *• But little things are But I think at times he still wistfully says to himself (as he did during the campaign), “I wish daddy was a baker.

Michael wants to be a space scientist, although not in engineering, chemistry, astronomy, etc... I think he has more in mind becoming the galaxy’s first space tour guide(“and on your left, folks, you can see the wonderful moons of Jupiter”). Life in Washington has only whetted this ambition. All my plans to visit the famous land­ marks and art galleries have succumbed to Michael’s insatiable desire to stop first at the Air and Space Museum. I have no problem now leading visitors to the tube of Old Spice brushles shaving- cream used by Michael Collins on Apollo 11, but I have to think twice about where the Lincoln Memorial is. Michael is delighted that Howard is on the Science and Technology Committee. NASA’s youngest and pushiest lobbyist lives with us! But the move to Washington has not been all Star Wars and jelly beans for Michael. In our first month out here, in a particularly low moment, Michael asked Howard, “Daddy, why didn’t you ask me before you ran for Congress? Then, after a thoughtful moment, he added, “But I guess I would have been too young to un­ derstand what it would mean.” Since Howard’s election to Congress, we find it more difficult to have family moments. Not only is by Nina Wolpe making Michael enjoy Washington more and more every’ day: a Little League coach who thinks Michael is the next Willie Mays, new exhibits at the Air and Space Museum which even he hasn’t seen, and, most of all, a neighborhood full of new and exciting friends. A recent letter to his old classmates shows these changes: ‘Dear Class, I’m having fun but not as much as I had there. Because here -they only have noon recess and there is no metric system! But there are some good things too. Like at lunch we get to sit anywhere we want to, and I learned to do a times test with 40 problems in one minute and eight seconds. In Washington, I went to the Air and Space Museum! Well, it was nice talking.” LINDIN Michigan National Banks Affiliate of Michigan National Corporation with assets in excess THE SATURDAY BANK—OPENTIL 4:30 of $4 billion P.M.

The 1952 report read, “Mrs. Flora Boston Reinhardt, 70, of Ann Arbor, a descendant of one of Nash­ ville’s pioneer families and former schoolteacher here, was killed in an automobile accident in Florida.’’...The head-on crash, the report noted, occurred near Perry and also claimed another life. The story then related that Flora “had graduated from Nashville High School in 1898 and from State Normal at Ypsilanti in 1900. For the next six years she taught in Nashville Schools, then went to Ann Arbor, where she taught many more years.” Among survivors listed in the 1952 obituary was her brother, Prof. Orlan W. Boston, then head 'of the engineering department of the University of Michigan. Orlan was pictured in last week’s "Memories” story as one, of the three senior boys displaying the school pennant, and also as a member of the 1908 Nashville football team. Also, an update on Prof. Charles W. Appleton, another member of the 1908-09 faculty, was received in a recent letter to Mrs. Clarence (Bunny) Shaw of Nashville from her third-cousin, Mrs. Lillian Mead of Traverse City. Lillian, a 1911 NHS grad whose maiden name was also Mead, wrote that she had lived several years with the Appleton family while they were in Nashville. Prof. Appleton was Superin­ tendant of School here for 7 years, spent the next three at Lake Odessa, and served subsequent 3-year stints at both Lowell and Leslie before giving up his profession to become a Lansing insurance agent. Appleton died of a heart attack at the age of 47, according to Mrs. Mead’s letter.

Since Mr. Campbell closed the shop last year to go back to his oldjob in Battle Creek, Nashville for the first time in many, many years has been without a blacksmith.” The new owner, Dean H. Bennett, was described as “plenty husky for horse­ shoeing and he likes the work.” Bennett, the story added, was also experienced in all sorts of welding and general blacksmithing. The 1952 report also elaborated on information used in the recent “Memories” story, pointing out that “Jesse Campbell started blacksmithing in Nashville back in 1923 when he came here from Battle Creek and bought John Caley’s shop. After a year-and-a-half he sold out and went back to Battle Creek for nearly ten years. Then, in Sept 1933, he bought the shop on North Main Street from the late Jasper Deeds. Mr. Deeds had bought from Thomas E. Copland, who had bought from Humphrey Atchinson.” The 1952 story concluded with this interesting observation: ”At one time Nashville had five blacksmith shops and all of them were kept busy.” Additional “findings” (from items in the Nashville News’ popular “Turning Back the Pages” column) show that the village had a very significant blacksmithing background. When Henry Feighner, one of Nashville’s best known pioneers died in August 1902 at the age of 83 years, the News noted he had come to-Nashville in 1854 “when there was only one log house here, and the following year built the first frame dwelling in town, as well as erecting and opening the first blacksmith shop in the settlement.” Thus, in 1855 Feighner became the first of Nashville’s many smiths. Nelson Brumm, secretary-treasurer of the Nashville Lions Club, reports the recent White Cane campaign by the orgaization was a success despite a very rainy Saturday (day of the Vermontville Syrup Festival) for local volun­ teers to be on the street. He said special thanks go to Carl’s Market for providing warm, dry quarters for the Lions to solicit donations for the annual fund-raiser. The traditional White Cane event helps finance most of the Lions sight­ saving projects in Michigan, including the sightmobile, Leader Dogs for the Blind at Rochester, and Welcome Home for the Blind in Grand Rapids. Also, Nelson reminds readers that this is the time of year for launching another popular Lions Club project-the an­ nual community birthday calendar. This is certainly an item we all use and enjoy everyday throughout the year, and it provides a good measure of community sharing and caring. Let’s all support the Lions in their 1980 calendar drive. Miss Edna Goff of Lexington, Kentucky will speak at Sunday Morning worship services at the Nashville United Methodist Church, May 27. Miss Goff has been a church missionary to Kenya, Africa.

In order to more effectively inform" and listen to the village, thee apponm appointment of a vage, public information committee has been made. Lonny L. Kienutske was named, chairman of the committee. Other members include: Raymond- Hin­ ckley ;-Nelson Brumm; Bart Bracy; and. Tom Olson.

We will probably break “W ground early in June,” Patrick said. By then, he expects, banks will be loaning the hospital money against a pledge total of over $1 million. Hospital officials have been discussing plans for the addition, which will increase hospital space by 50 percent, with the contracting firm of HBE Corp, of St. Louis. “We’re really ready to start construction,” said hospital administrator Darwin Finkbeiner. “We’re just waiting for a little time to go by for the fund drive to catch up.” The purpose purpose of of the the exexThe pansion is improving the quality and range of services offered, in line, with a tenyear master plan drawn up last year by the hospital staff.

The master plan“would indicate a need for beds in the future, depending on the number of doctors we can attract to the hospital” and on state approval, said Finkbeiner. The two-story, 12,000square-foot addition will house the new departments of physical and respiratory therapy, outpatient and surgery, waiting rooms, new administrative offices, a state-required auxiliary power generator, and a new entry with lobby and gift shop. Reallocation of space in the main building will yield a new nursing station, a nursery, a new pharmacy, examination and bathing rooms, employee locker rooms, and a larger dish­ washing area.

Her youth activity includes Hi-Y, Future Teachers, church clubs, Journalism Honor Society, dramatics chibs, Girl and Boy Scouts, children’s choirs and theatre,, church camp counselor, Sunday school superintendent for. 17 years, vacation school teacher and wood working director, advisor and major contactor for students’ Maple Syrup Festival floats. Mrs. Carpenter, is an active member of the Maple v Valley, Eaton County, Michigan, and National Education Associations; the Michigan National Councils of Teachers of English; Delta Kappa Gamma; and on each decision reached by the present council as well as previous ones throughout the years since the project was first considered. The council has indicated their intent to schedule a bond referendum later -this year, perhaps in August. “We have to give everyone complete information so that they can vote as well in­ formed residents,” Kienutske said, “It is not our intention to attempt to sway anyone’s thinking, either for or against any portion of the project, but there is a lot at stake here, and we want to make sure all facts are brought up and everyone’s questions are answered.” The schedule for in­ formation activities includes newspaper articles, radio news coverage, the preparation of a fact sheet, at least one general public meeting and presentations to interested groups that are part of Nashville. With this being the first article, it is important to provide some background as to how Nashville has progressed to its current facilities. The first study on the existing wastewater system was conducted in 1961. The system was found to be inadequate, therefore a treatment plant was put into operation in 1964. In ,1968, the Michigan Department' of Natural Resources (DNR) issued new discharge limits which required the village to provide additional treatment by removing 80 percent of the phosphorus from the treated water (effluent) discharged from the plant to the Thornapple River. The DNR stated that the village was expected to embark upon a program which would result in the additional treatment facilities being in operation by ^December of 1972. The council submitted a “stipulation agreement” in which a schedule for the voluntary compliance with the new regulations was outlined. A preliminary plan for the expansion of the existing facilities was presented in 1970 and ap­ plication for grant assistance was filed with the State and Federal Water Quality Administration. The for application grant assistance has been renewed every year since that time. The grant is now administered under the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In October of 1970, the regulations wSre changed again, and the village received notice that a higher level of treatment would be required because of the has been named the Olivet College .Outstanding Teacher. She has served the Women’s Club, Historical Society, Opera House committee,, community orchestra, Jaycettes, Maple Syrup Festival, March of Dimes, Eaton County Extension Club, Maple Valley Players, Albion College Alumni and many more. increased wqter quality standards for the Thor­ napple River. In addition to removing 80 percent of the phosphorus from the plant effluent, , it became necessary to provide more treatment for the removal of other nutrients or pollutants such as “BOD,” “Suspended Solids,” “PH,” and “Total Coliform Bacteria.” These additional requirements increased the cost of expanding the existing plant to the extent that the construction of a new lagoon and irrigation treatment system was recommended in 1972 as the most economical solution. Also in 1972, the village made application to Far­ mers Home Administration (FmHA) for grant funds to finance the necessary improvements to the wastewater system, as well as improvements to the water system. FmHA was only able to finance the water project that year, and the council voted to wait for -Federal EPA grant assistance on the wastewater system. In October 1972, the Federal Pollution Control Act (Public Law 92-500) was passed, which replaced all previous pollution control legislation. It took more than a year to develop the rules and regulations for administering the program. In 1973 President Nixon im­ pounded half the Federal .grant funds, and this program virtually stopped until the matter was resolved in the U.S. Supreme Court and the funds released. The first regulations on the new pollution control legislation were published in 1974, and the grant program was developed into a three step process that, is still currently in effect Step 1 is the facility plan or study, Step 2 is design, and Step 3 is construction. A separate grant ap­ plication is required for each “Step.” A Step 1 grant was received in 1976, and funds for Step 2 were applied for and granted in 1977. The design was completed in 1978 and application for con­ struction (Step 3) of the facilities were then filed. The Michigan DNR has warned small communities to proceed without delay if grant funds are received this year. Because after this year, the City of Detroit will require a large portion of Michigan’s total Federal grant allocation. Since Detroit is ranked first on the current priority list, it’s likely that they will use nearly all funds available in Michigan after 1980. The lagoon and irrigation treatment system proposed for the village qualifies as an “alternative” treatment method under EPA regulations published in 1978. As a result, the village is eligible to receive an additional 10 percent Federal grant for the treatment portion of the project. The. Nashville project is ranked number 55 in the state on th^ir priority list and is considered well within the range to receive a grant offer yet this spring. The nqxt article will discuss mainly the background on the development of the collection system for the village of Nashville. �TheMaple Volley News, Nashville, Wednesday.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Vol. 106, No. 1 - Wednesday, May 30, 1979 Bid for paving downtown parking lot is $26,300 Susan Hinckley Bids for grading and paving a business district parking lot were not as costly as expected so the Nashville Village Council decided Thursday to seek public input on other ways to spend the excess monies. A public hearing has been called to discuss other proposed uses of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds which had been allocated for the paving project after a March hearing. Trustee Ray Hinckley told the council Thursday that bids for the' parking lot project totaled $26,300. The village currently has $35,387 earmarked for the parking lot job, with most of the monies received from revenue sharing including some held over from last year’s appropriation. Hin­ ckley suggested using the excess funds toward paving Middle and Cleveland Streets from Lentz to Reeds. Other monies presently in the village coffers, plus the excess revenue sharing funds, would be sufficient to resurface both streets, bid at $18,700, he said. However, Trustee Lonny Kienutske proposed that sewer lines under both streets be repaired new before blacktopping is considered. Kienutske cited a recent engineering survey which indicated three underground leaks in the Middle Street line, and one on Cleveland. The public hearing, to reallocate the Federal Revenue Sharing Funds has Annual school election is June 11; 6 candidates vie to fill two seatsAt- the annual school election scheduled to be held Monday, June 11, the registered electors in the Maple Valley School District will be electing two mem­ bers to the board of education for four year terms plus voting upon a millage renewal proposal. Candidates for the two positions on the board of education include incumbent Wilbur Marsh, Virginia Fox, Carol Tobias, Eunice Cor­ nish, George Hubka, and Stanley W. Smith. The terms of office will begin July 1, 1979 and end on June 30,1983. ' The millage vote will be upon the renewal of ,the fourteen mills ($14.00 on each $1,000.00) oh state equalized valuation for a period of three years, 1979,1980, and 1981 for the purpose of providing ad- ditional funds for operating purposes. This renewal would be to replace the millage that expired with the December 1978 levy. It is necessary that the millage be renewed enabling the school district to continue with the same basic educational program during the 1979-80 school year. Application forms for absentee ballots may be obtained by contacting the Superintendent’s office at 11090 Nashville Highway, Vermontville, Michigan 49096. The telephone number is 852-9699. In the Nashville area voters will be voting in the kindergarten room at the Maplewood Elementary School. The polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m., Monday, June 11, 1979. Another chance to “meet M.V. School Board candidates The Maple Valley Education Association would like to remind all taxpayers and concerned citizens that the second “Meet the Can­ didate Night” will be held in the auditorium at Maple Valley High School on Wednesday, May 30, at 7:30 p.m. Questionnaires were sent to the candidates asking specific information con­ cerning their feelings about Maple Valley Schools and stating their ideas as per­ spective school board members. Questionnaires were sent to the following candidates: Mr. Wilbur Marsh, Mr. George Hubka, Mrs. Virginia Fox, Mr. Stan Smith, Mrs. Carol Tobias and Mrs. Eunice Cornish. Of those listed, Mrs. Eunice Cornish, Mr. Stan Smith, Mr. George Hubka, and Mrs. Virginia Fox responded that they would attend. Due to incorrect information submitted to the Maple Valley News, it was reported that Mrs. Carol Tobias would be attending the meeting. Since she has prior com­ mitments for that evening, she will not be at the “Meet the Candidate Night.” We hope to see you on May 30 to meet the school board candidates and to ask any questions that you may have. been set for 6 p.m. June 14th at Castleton Township Halt In other business, the council heard Dennis J. Smith of The Hecker Agency explain proposed alter­ natives to the villages’s current employee pension plan. Two weeks ago, Smith and Charles White, representative of Time Insurance Company, appeared before the council to suggest terminating the present plan in favor of Individual Individual Retirement Accounts. The high turnover rate in village employees has been cited as one reason for switching to the IRA plan which Smith called simpler and “more flexible” for employees. “The IRA plan can be tailor-made to your own situation,” Smith advised village officials.

Trustee Kienutske reported on the proposed village sewer project in which state and federal grants are being sought to pay 80 percent of the $3.4 million cost. Kienutske explained that if collection lines are extended into areas of the village not eligible for grants, the added cost to the toal project would average $12,000 per home, for those dwellings located in the ineligible sections. Grant eligibility is based on housing density of each street.

The local Chamber of Commerce is planning a “western theme’’ Saturday sidewalk sale to coincide with the annual ride, a fund-raising event sponsored by sheriff’s posses from throughout Michigan. Horseback'riders in the Pony Express will converge on Nashville between 8:30 and 9:00 a.m. Saturday morning, carrying bundles of commemoratively-stamped mail enroute to Hastings. Jerry Brumm, head of the Chamber’s Retail Committee, reports that all local merchants will be participating in the sidewalk sales and will offer a wide variety of goods. Jerry an­ ticipates shoppers will find some “tremendouslruys” during the event. In addition to the activity created by the Pony Express, there will be the added attraction of regional slowpitch softball tournaments staged in our village that weekend. The influx of players and spectators should begin Friday evening when games get underway. The competition will continue throughout Saturday and Sunday at both the Fuller Street and Maple Valley High School fields. Incidentally, persons wishing to send a letter via the Pony Express may obtain commemorative letterhead and en­ velopes at Security National Bank. Each addressed letter, with first-class postage affixed, should be enclosed in an outer plain envelope in which the sender may place a donation to the posse. Lettters may be given in advance to a posse member, taken to the Barry County Sherrifs Dept., or handed to a rider enroute. At the termination point, all mail will be forwarded to its final destination through the U. S. Postal system. George B. Dean, 95 years young, was slated to be an honored entrant in Hastings’ Memorial Day parade. At this writing, arrangements were being made to have George ride on a float sponsored by the Barry County Commission on Aging, as the oldest representative of the Nashville COA Nutrition Site. He was to share the spotlight with a Hastings gentleman of nearly the same age, representing the Hastings COA Site. George celebrated his 95th birthday May 1st.

Gene Koetje and Officer Art Long of the Nashville Police Dept, participated with Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, officers in semi-annual qualification shooting at the Barry County Conservation Club last Thursday. All Barry County law enforcement officers are required to qualify on the firing range every six months as a requisite for maintaining their employment In Thursday’s competition, Sgt. Koetje earned an “Expert” classification. Officer Long ranked as “Marksman”. The officers each fire 60 rounds in a variety of stances and positions, including kneeling, etc. They must alternate between using left and right hand in firing the gun they would normally carry while on duty. The range qualification is proceeded by a 3-hour gun safety course which all officers are also required to attend to maintain certification. Flames caused by a rear brake burning out on a nor­ thbound semi-tractor summoned the Nashville Fire Dept, to South Main early last Tuesday evening. However, the truck driver and others had used fire extinquishers to halt the blaze. Rose Frith, daughter of the Leon Friths of Nashville and a sophmore at Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, had a special treat recently when she sold a calculator to comedian Red Skelton. Rose clerks at the campus bookstore where Skeleton browsed prior to a personal appearance at WMU’s Miller Auditorium. The comic joked with Rose, gave her his autograph, and even composed a brief poem for her while purchasing the small hand calculator.

Mrs. Charles Askins of Nashville returned home last week following a two-weeks stay with her son and family, the Raymond Askins, at Boyne City. While there, Mrs. Askins was summoned to §t. Louis Michigan by the death of her brother-in-law, Arnold Askins. She and the Rayniond Askins attended funeral services, then Mrs. Askins again returned to Boyne City for several more days. The weather in the north was on the chilly side and the spring season there is not as far advanced as ours, reports Mrs. Askins. Mrs. Edna McConnell, a former village resident now living in Battle Creek, visited her sister, Mrs. Viola Beystrum of Nashville, last week. Nashville’s Main Street will boast at least three new lamp post decorations for the 1979 Christmas season, due to the generosity of local merchants, businessmen, and residents. As of last Thursday, Irene Goodnoe, secretary of the Nash­ ville Chamber of Commerce and member of the Civic Im­ provement Committee, had collected over $500 in donations in the recently launched fund-raising campaign. Irene contacted members of the business community and, in addition, canisters were placed in local stores to allow village residents to contribute to a brighter holiday season. Harold Christiansen, head of the Civic Improvement Committee, placed the canisters and is also aiding Irene in the solicitation drive, all part of an on-going program by the Chamber to update Nashville’s Christmas street decor. Each lampost decoration, with shipping charges, currently costs nearly $200. A raffle of two merchant-donated bicycles, promoted by the Chamber last year bought one he& decoration and established the Christmas street lighting fund which the orgaization hopes to perpetuate through various annual fund-raising projects and drive. The Chamber, and Civic Improvement Committee, expresses deepest appreciation to all who have made this year’s drive such a huge success. Bruce Kuffer, representative of Williams and Works Engineering Firm of Grand Rapids, was in Nashville last Monday evening to meet with two local committees on various projects. Kuffer first met with members of the Public Information Committee at village hall to discuss Nashville’s proposed sewer project. Later, Kuffer attended a meeting of the Riverside Recreational Development Corp., held at the home of Mrs. Sena French, to discuss an engineering agreement on the RRDC’s proposed recreation park plan for Nashville. He also toured the site of the proposed park, adjacent to the Thornapple River west of the Main Street business district.

A second letter from the People’s Republic of China reached Nashville last week when the Clarence Shaws again heard from their friend, Hsin-wen Chen, who knew the Shaws as “Mom and Pop” some 30 years ago. Chen, a guest in the Shaw home for a 1947 Christmas dinner while he was a student of engineering at the University of Michigan, was first able to get a letter out to the Shaws last January, following USA recognition of the PRC. After 13 years of silence, the Shaws were delighted to learn in January that their young Chinese friend, now 57, was alive and well. Chen had been a frequent visitor in Nashville after that first holiday dinner, calling on the Shaws several times in the early 1950’s until he returned to his homeland. In last week’s letter, Chen apologized for his English, which he said was “getting rusty”. He wrote he had not had much chance to get in touch with Western friends for 26 years and “there is no way to brush up my English since my return from the U.S.” (However, his writing was very precise and clear in a print Continued on page 11 What a difference a Bilco Door stakes!

The discipline committee includes board members Russell Geary, Wayne Cogswell, and Arlene DeCamp. Further in­ formation relative to the student handbook may be obtained by contacting one of the committee members or building administrators. All students in the Jr-Sr. High School will receive a copy of the student handbook when enrolling in school next fall. In relationship to the suspension section in the student handbook, the board members approved a new classroom operation for next fall which will be called the in-school suspension room. T This room will operate with one teacher in charge of the classroom for the entire day. Students that have been suspended will be sent to the in-school suspension room to complete their assignments under the direction of the in­ school suspension room teacher. One of the main objectives of this room is to keep the students in school and enable the students to continue with their classrooom assignments. Another move will be to assign students with detention to this room in­ stead of having the student spend time in the high school office. Through the addition of the in-school suspension room along with the addition of a special education L.D. Consultant, it is necessary to purchase a relocatable classroom. This classroom will be purchased from McFadden Corporation on a lease purchase program. The list price of the unit with a dividing partition is $23,345 including the installation cost by the company. The board members ap­ proved the Webster McGraw Hill Science series for grades 4,5, and 6. During this school year a committee of teachers and elementary building administrators reviewed various textbooks and related materials in­ eluding a review of the reading level. General approval was given a revised layout of the office area at the Jr-Sr. High School. This is being done in an attempt to make better usage of the space available along with an attempt to eliminate some of the flow of traffic within the main office area resulting in many in­ terruptions. This will not involve any major structural changes, and the main thing will be that the offices will be in different location. Upon the recommendation of Title I reading program director Bill Christensen, approval was given the employment of three additional aides for the sum­ merreadingprogram. These new aides include Beth Ann Beebe, Rane Ferrier, and Saelely eC,arter. The board board. held an open hearing at the request of the parents regarding general suspension from extra curricular activities in­ volving students Carol Appelman and Julie Barlow. This action had been taken earlier by Assistant Prin­ cipal Larry Lenz regarding student actions at the prom not in compliance with the student handbook. A great deal of the information presented at the hearing was related to a discrepancy that has existed between the training rules listed in the student handbook and behavior standards listed under the cheerleader constitution. It was the decision of the majority of the board members to follow the proposal made by Larry Lenz to . go by the student handbook and suspend Julie Barlow for fifty percent of the softball games, and to suspend Carol Appleman as a cheerleader for the first four varsity football games next fall.

Nashville, Wednesday May 30. 1979 — Page 5 Nashville’s wastewater collection system (Note: The following article is a continuation of the efforts to provide background information prepared by Nashville’s Public Information Com­ mittee. Those efforts show a real interest toward in­ forming residents of the village about the development of the proposed wastewater system im­ provements. The first ar­ ticle, published last week, traced the history of the wastewater ttr treatment t system. This article outlines the background of the wastewater collection system.) A preliminary study conducted in 1961 included a general plan for the extension of the wastewaterr collection system based on the growth within the village and funds available. A more detailed study was con­ ducted in 1967 and presented an analysis of the system’s possible expansion into different parts of the village.

As told in our first article, the Federal Pollution Control Act (PUBLIC LAW 92-500) was passed in late 1972. The first regulations appeared in early 1974 and they indicated in part how collection systems would be eligible for grants. Until 1974, only interceptor or main sewers were eligible to receive grant funds. But with the development of these new regulations, reuaons “collector coecor sewers” were also included for grant eligibility “Two Thirds Ruleunder ”. Trhias rule stipulated that a grant for collection sewers could be obtained if “two thirds” of the lots on a given street were developed prior to i October, 1972 - the date the Public Law was passed. The reasoning given for this cut­ off date was that grants were intended to help in solving pollution problems that existed prior to October 1972. All pollution problems that occurred after the date were the responsibility of each local oca community. communy. Therefore, ereore, grant funds were only available for streets that were substantially developed - or two-thirds developed - prior to 1972. The review in each com­ munity was then made on a street-by-street basis for determining which collector sewers would be eligible. In the last couple of years, the Federal EPA position on grant eligibility of collector sewers has become much more rigid. As a result, in 1978 new regulations were passed by which grants arenow provided for sewer systems only after JUNE 11 Lions look good in ELECT STAN SMITH D/$^A • Concerned Parent • Former U.S. Marine • Former State Trooper • Elected Twice to City Council in Grand Ledge Paid for by The Committee to Elect Stan Smith Fenin, exhaustive and expensive studies and testing. Since approval of the grant eligibility for additional collector sewers in Nashville came before the new 1978 regulations, the eligibile status has been maintained without going through the additional studies and testing. Construct All or Part - a Decision: The existing sewer system and proposed expansion areas, considered to have sufficient development now were not “two thirds” developed seven years ago in 1972. These areas include the east ends of Reed, Gregg and Sherman Streets. Also the west ends of Casgrove Road and Center Street in Fuller Heights. As - a result, the village is not eligible to receive grants for these sewers. There are different ways to approach the construction of grant ineligible sewers: A possibility would be to construct only those portions of the collector sewers that are eligible for grants and postpone construction of portions that must be paid entirely with local funds. At a future time, if those ineligible sewers are con­ structed, an alternative plan of paying- for those sewers would have to be found. The benefit however, could be extended to those residents by the economies of con­ structing all the system in one project, using the same financing procedures, at­ torney fee, bonding procedures and the potential of lower contractors’ bids on an entire system.

In this 1909 photo, he poses with daughter, Luna, at their Francis Street home (now Lawrence Maurer residence). of just how many Civil War veterans were available to participate in the village’s 1901 Memorial Day parade but reports thirty years later quite accurately pinpoint Nashville’s Civil War veterans, living and dead. “Barry County Civil War veterans were honored by the Hastings Lions Club Monday when the club tendered them a dinner and program in the American Legion Hall,” informed the News in a Memorial Day 1931 account. “Gideon Kennedy of Nashville, 93 years old, was the oldest veteran present and George 0. Dean of Nashville probably carried off another record for a youngster of 89. He drove his own car and carried another veteran with him, ” noted the writer. “Other veterans from here who attended were Richard Wickwire, 89, William Bivens, Jacob Haner, Charles Cruso, and Frank Rowley, Rowley,” continued the report, adding, “Capt L. B. Potter and M. B.Brooks were unable to attend.” The same Memorial Day 1931, members of the American Legion “Placed flags on the graves of exactly 110 departed Civil War veterans in Lakewview Cemetery,” according to the News, “in addition to marking the graves of ten World War veterans.” (At that that early early date, date, it it was was still still “the” World War and the present-day designation of World War I was unnecessary). “It is believed there are several veterans of the Cuban War buried in Lakeview, aevew, aso, also, an and thee Legion will attempt to ascertain the names and details before next Memorial Day,” the News item concluded. Patriotic parades, memorial - services, and decoration of graves did not constitute the whole of Nash­ ville’s early observance of the holiday, however. Memorial Day baseball games became a long­ standing village tradition. From the News, 1902: “Nashville beat the vaunted Kelly team 13-12 in an ex­ citing Memorial Day ball game at the driving park. Winning pitcher was Albert Beard, who pitched no-hit ball for five innings but weakened in the sixth.” The driving park was located along the presentday Kellogg Street and Albert Beard was, in those early years, an employee of the News office. Four years later, a new playing field had been build near the Thornapple River southwest of the Main Street stores. “A baseball game between Woodland’s fast team and •the local team has been arranged for Decoration Day onNashville’snew grounds,” recorded the News in May 1906. Twenty-some years later the holiday baseball tradition still continued, combined with another Decoration Day event “Cole and Wade’s resort at Thomapple Lake will officially open for the season on Memorial Day. A baseball game is i scheduled hdl d for f the th afternoon between the Lake House nine and Albion House nine Albione College,” advised a May 1927 News issue. Other social events highlighted the holiday and one beckoned local residents to trip the light fantastic. “The Thornapp Thornapple Lake Pavillion n will open Decoration Day with a big dance in the evening, to the music of Wit Thomas’ or­ chestra,” observed the News in May 1931. In addition to solemn ceremony and lively en­ tertainment, the holiday also .touched Nashville’s prac­ tical side. From the News, May 1928: “The Chamber of Commerce met Monday evening and spent most of their business session debating the question of closing on Memorial Day. It finally was decided that all stores would close at 10:30 a.m. but some merchants have announced they will not even open up in the mor­ ning.” Perhaps Nashville’s abiding ritual of the traditional holiday is best summed up in this 1932 News report: “Memorial Sunday and Memorial Day proper brought a nationwide tribute to our soldier dead and other loved ones, expressed in sermons and music, church services and patriotic visits to programs, cemeteries with a profusion of flowers, loving thoughts and quiet prayerful ob- • NOTICE • There will be a Public Hearing June 14, 1979 at Castleton Township Hall at 6:00 p.m. for the purpose of reappropriating the 10th entitlement period of Federal Revenue Sharing..

They saw man-made glass as old as 3500 years, and one of the largest pieces of glass ever made - the original casting of the 20-ton, 200-inch mirror disk which forms the heart of the Hale telescope at Mt. Palomar in California. They viewed glass from the Museum’s 15,Q00-piece collection, considered one of the finest in the world. Exhibits, visitor’operated displays, and films in the Science Hall demonstrated the extraordinary range of contemporary applications of glass, as well as its oftencontradictory properties. They watched a lampworker hand-fashion smalll glass animals over an open flame. Finally, the group visited the Steuben factory where they observed the hand­ forming and engraving of brilliant crystal glass. Charge!

Their baby, who weighed in at 8 lbs. 7 0z., was named Ryan Allen. 8A7n interesting Jetter received last week from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin, has added another footnote to a recent “Memories” story on the 1908-09 NHS faculty. One of the seniors pictured in an ac­ companying photo was Orlan Boston whose older sister, Flora, was a local teacher. She is now deceased, as we noted last week, but Meade wrote that he had seen Orlan a few years ago in Detroit when he was inducted as a Fellow (the highest grade of membership) in the Engineering Society of Detroit. Meade was elected a Fellow of the Society in the charter group some years ago and was President of the Society in the charter group some years ago and was President of the Society in 1952-53. He wrote, “Orlan and I had fun reminiscing about Nashville whenever we got together.” Meade had first become acquainted with Boston while doing graduate work at the University of Michingan where Boston was a professor in the College of Engineering. Meade notes in his recent letter that Orlan Boston is listed in the 1978-79 U. jjf M. Catalog as Professor Emeritus of Mechanical Engineering and Production Engineering. Incidentally, Kenneth A. Meade will soon be visiting Nashville. He will be serving as toastmaster at the upcoming Alumni Banquet, June 2. Also on the subject of “Memories”: we neglected to give credit last week for the old photos used in the “round barn” story. Many thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Charles Liebhauser who kindly loaned the early photos for publication. A meeting of the Pastor Parish Relations Committee of the Nashville United Methodist Church is set for 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 30, at'the parsonage. Mrs. Edith Flannery of Nashville accompanied her sister, Mrs. Vere Segur of Battle Creek, to Rose City recently to call on Mrs. Segur’s_ son and family, the Albert .Segurs, (Rose City is the village that “traded” mayors with Ver­ montville last Monday in Michigan’s traditional Mayor Exchange Day.) Sunday, Mrs. Flannery called on her daughter, Mrs. Norvelle MacKenzie of Lansing, and had the opportunity to see her grandson, Scott MacKenzie, who received his discharge from the U. S. Navy in early May. He had had been been stationed stationed in in Virginia. Virginia. After After aa brief brief visit visit home, home, Scott was enroute to Chicago where he has accepted employment as a hospital equipment technician. The Fred Acketts of Nashville recently entertained v a number ofyoung visitors-29 students from the fifth grade at Nashville’s Kellogg School. The children enjoyed viewing Fred’s fantastic rock collection and, later, he received several charming letters from the youngsters thanking him for the interesting tour. Many wrote of the knowledge they had gained from the exhibit and some even cited their special favorite among Fred’s collection; in some cases, the children even recalled the scientific name of the specific rock. It was apparently a very enjoyable learning ex­ perience for the youngsters and, needless to say, Fred is enjoying their letters. Mrs. Earl (Clara) Pennock of Nashville assumed duties last week as the new site supervisor at Nashville’s Senior Citizen’s Nutrition Site. She replaces Mrs. Deidra Sprinkle who recently resigned the post she had held the past nine months. Youngsters from Mrs. Claudette Edly’s first grade class at Fuller Street Elementary School visited Putnam Park last Wednesday and also toured Putnam Public Library. The children, accompanied by their teacher and Mrs. Laurie Kipp, made the long jaunt from the school to the park, and back, on foot. Mrs. Ruth Brown, of the Putnam Library staff, guided the children through the building. Student tours of the library are being encouraged andarranged by Nash­ ville’s new Friends of the Library in an effort to acquaint youngsters with facilities available to them. FOL organizations have found that spending about an hour touring the library helps to alleviate the children’s natural fear of the unknown and has resulted in increased library usage by them. This Wednesday, first graders in Mrs. Kathy Vandermolen’s class at Fuller School will have an op­ portunity to enjoy the same excursion. The Nashville Garden Club will meet at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, June 5, at the home of Mrs. Clifford (Evelyn) Mason on Lawrence Hwy. Entertainment will be slides taken by the Masons on some of their recent travels, which iincluded a tour of the Holy Land. Garden studies of the month will be the flower, pansy; vegetable, rhubarb; and weed, cheese weed. Tea committee for the event will be Mrs. Gladys Miller and Mrs. Edith Jones. Despite a chilly rain last Thursday evening, 35 members of the Nashville Senior Citizen’s Site group enjoyed an outing to Cornwell’s Turkey Farm near Marshall for dinner. The Marshall area received more precipitation than Nashville did that day. Transportation for the excursion was furnished by a bus provided by the Nashville Baptist Church. Mrs. Bertha Becker of Nashville, recently confined for a week-long stay at Hayes-Green-Beach Hospital in Charlotte, was able to return home last Tuesday. Mrs. Beckerr underwent a series of tests at the hospital but is presently feeling well and able to be out. An Alaskan travelogue, sponsored by Nashville’s newlyformed Friends of the Library, was a tremendous success when it was presented last Monday evening. Ted and Orpha Stiffler of Mulleken showed the slides at Castleton Township Hall. Laurie Kipp, secretary of the FOL, reports the presentation tp resentation was well-attended. The FOL extends special thanks to Pat Cummings and Ardyce Robotham, who conducted a children’s story hour at Putnam Library in conjunction with the slide program so the little ones could be entertained while parents and older family members enjoyed the show. Sincere appreciation is also expressed to Barb Sandbrook for furnishing refreshments for Monday’s event. Tentative plans for another “Family Night” in June are currency being drawn up by the FOL. More detailss on the date and program will be furnished later. In another Friends, of the Library project, Merry Lee Ossenheimer of Nashville will head a summer reading program for youngsters, to be held Tuesday mornings at Putnam Public Library. Dates for the story hour sessions have been set for the last three weeks of July and the first week ofAugust,It was decided at last week’s FOL business meeting. Good news received from Adolph Douse at Lakeland, Florida, that he is recovering well from recent surgery there and expects to soon be seeing his Nashville friends.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Vol. 106, No. 2 - Wednesday, June 6, 1979 Sun shines down as 121 M.V. seniors receive diplomas In a refreshing departure from traditional gym­ nasium-staged graduation exercises, Maple Valley’s Class of 1979 received diplomas Saturday under sunny skies at Sandyland Park in Nashville. An estimated 2,800 spectators filled bleachers in the open air arena, a site favored by seniors when ceremony plans were made earlier this year. “Your diploma is the key to the outside world,” Shelly Wolff told classmates during her valedictorian’s address. She said Saturday was ’’the beginning of new hopes and new dreams” but the end of shared times, now to become cherished memories. Diplomas were awarded to 121 seniors, with the presentation by School Board of Education mem­ bers Mrs. Arlene De Camp and Elam Rockwell. In­ cluded in the graduating class were five members of Maple Valley’s baseball team who were unable to attend the afternoon com­ mencement because they were involved in district toournament play at Ver­ montville. A victory over Portland St. Patrick earlier in the day necessitated a second game against Lan­ sing Catholic Central, overlapping the commencement schedule. (The team lost the second game but Maple Valley’s girls’ softball team won their district championship in Saturday competition and arrived at Sandyland in time to participate in graduation ceremonies.) The Maple Valley Band, under the direction of Jef­ fery Petrosky, performed the processional and recessional for the graduates, and also en­ tertained with the selection, “Tomorrow”, from the musical “Annie.” The Maple Valley Choir rendered, “The End or the Beginning,” with the vocal performance under the direction of Mrs. Patricia Reinbold. Rev. Robert Taylor of the Nashville Assembly of God Church offered the in­ vocation and benediction at Saturday’s ceremonies. Karen Christensen delivered the salutatorian’s address; and Superintendant Of Schools Carroll Wolff welcomed the audience and introduced the principal speaker, Dr. Howard Hickey, an administrative professor at Michigan State University, whom Wolff called “one of the out­ standing leaders in education in the United States.” School Principal Burr Hartenburg presented the Nash to meet with residents State Representative Ernie Nash (R-Dimondale) will travel to five different locations in his district next week to listen to his con­ stituents’ concerns. Nash will be at the Ver­ montville Public Library Monday at 1 p.m. Thursday, he will be at Portland City Hall at 9 a.m. and at the Grand Ledge City Hall at 11 a.m. Nash will travel to Sunfield and Mulliken Friday. He will be available to meet with citizens at the Sunfield Village Hall at 9 a.m. and at the Mulliken Fire Barn at 11 a.m. “I hope many of my constituents take the time to come to one of the locations I will be at next week,” Nash said. “I’ve scheduled these hours and locations to make it convenient for as many people as possible to see me about anything that might concern them.” Class of 1979, and, with members of the junior class assisting, the graduates individually crossed Sandyland’s stage to receive their diplomas. Girls were gowned in white while the boys’ robes were blue, representing Maple Valley school colors. Class colors of burgundy and gold were ‘mortarboard caps. The seniors motto, “We will walk on our own feet; we will work with our own hands; we will speak our own minds,“ seemed to exemplify the spirit of the Class of 1979, culminating 13 years of academic achievement with traditional commencement services intermingled with white and blue tassles on the graduates Conf pg. 10 — Millage and board member election June 11 The registered electors in the Maple Valley School District will be voting upon the renewal of fourteen mills for operational purposes plus electing two members to the board of education.

Guest speaker at inspirational services during the camp-out will be Rev. Paul Deal of Gull Lake. The film “Christianna” will be shown at 7 p.m. Sunday evening, June 10, at the Nashville Baptist Church. The presentation is a follow-up to the film, “Pilgrim’s Progress”, shown at the church several months ago. The book, “Pilgrim’s Progress” by John Bunyon, on which the movie is based, is ranked as the second top-selling religious book in the world, topped only by the Bible. “Christianna” is the story of Pilgrim’s wife and her adventures in following her husband’s footsteps. George B. Dean reports his participation in Hastings’ Memorial Day parade “went just fine.” George was honored when he was recently selected to appear as the oldest representative of the Nashville COA Nutrition Site in a parade entry sponsored by the Barry County Commission on Aging. Seated in a rocking chair secured to the COA float, George, who observed his 95th birthday in May, shared the spotlight with two senior citizens, a man and woman, from the Hastings COA Site. Surrounding the three “rocking seniors” was a small orchestra comprised of the 3-piece Raeber Stompers from Hastings (featuring violin, banjo, and tub), with the added attraction of Clare Wright of Nash­ ville on the guitar. Clare was invited to join the Raeber group for the parade performance. George reports being well cared for during the long ride, with an “inspector” walking beside the float to check enroute on the well-being of the senior citizens. George was even furnished a blanket to ward off the cold but he reports there was very little wind and, even though skies were mostly overcast, not a drop of rain fell on the parade. The COA float was followed in the line-up by a van loaded with senior citizens representing the COA.

Mrs. Weaks. reports they found several good specimens of the gems. Another interesting sight was touring a Cherokee Indian Reservation near Franklin to view a display of colorful Indian arts and crafts on exhibit there. A trip to the top of Crockett Mountain in the Great Smokies at Gatlingsburg, Tenn., was also a memorable experience. Beautiful weather was enjoyed throughout the week-long journey. An interesting footnote on Leia Titmarsh Roe, longtime Nashville school teacher featured in the faculty of 1908-09 photo in a recent “Memories” story. According to an August 3,1950 issue of the Nashville News, Mrs. Roe left the village to accept a teaching position at Fraser, near Detroit, that year. “Mrs. Roe has been a member of the local teaching staff the last nine years and prior to that had taught here two other stretches, so that her service record in the Nashville school adds up to 21 years,” noted the 1950 report. Mrs. Roe had also taught at Mancelona, Ithaca, Fremont and Augusta, for a grand total of 29 years, the News account added. She had a B.S. degree from Western Michigan University (formerly Western State Normal School). At the time of the 1950 report, Mrs. Roe was teaching 4th grade and vocal music in Nashville schools, but during earlier years in the village she had taught art as well as music to local students. Condolences are extended to the family of Mrs. Beulah Thompson who passed away May 24th at the Barry County Medical Care Facility. Mrs. Thompson was well-known in the village, haveing resided here over 40 years. She was a very lovely lady and will be missed. Sincere sympathy to her daughters and family.

Indefinite Nelson Brumm selected “Lion of the Month by Susan Hinckley Nelson Brumm of 313 Center Court, Nashville, recently re-elected secretary-treasurer of the Nashville Lions Club, has been selected as “Lion of the Month’1 for May. Nelson is the “grand Lion” of the local club, having joined the organization in 1944 just two years short of the original charter date. He has recorded perfect at­ tendance at Lion meetings all but three of 35 years he has been a Lion, and had introduced 27 new members into the club, and says “it’s great to be a Lion.” Nelson has also held many offices, at both local and district level, during his long span as a Nashville Lion. He served as local club president for the 1948-49 year, and again for the 1962­ 63 year. He was secretary­ treasurer of the organization from 1955 to 1958, then elected to the post again in 1973, has retained it since that time and was just re­ elected to the office in May for the upcoming 1979-80 year, and again in the 1977-78 year. He has also been the district representative for the Michigan White Cane Committee for the 1978-79 year, and was recently chosen as district representative to the state CARE committee for 1979-80. Nelson’s longtime interest in charitable and service work is reflected in his volunteer efforts on behalf of the American Cancer Society, United Way, and the March of Dimes. Community endeavors include being a member of the Boy Scout Committee and serving 10 years on the Nashville Maple Syrup Association. He is a member of the Nashville United Methodist Church. A Nashville native, Nelson graduated from NHS in the Class of 1924. He then enrolled at Michigan State College (now MSU), majored in agriculture, and graduated in 1928 with a bachelor of science degree. Following graduation from college, Nelson was em­ ployed by the State of Michigan as a bee inspector for two years. Later, he became manager of A. & P. Grocery Stores in Greenville and Eaton Rapids for a year. Returning to Nashville to farm north of the village for the next 15 years, Nelson later moved into town to operate a dairy route bet­ ween Nashville and Ver­ montville. Closing his Washington Street dairy operation after 15 years service, Nelson and his wife opened a family clothing store on Nashville’s Main Street which they operated for several years proceeding retirement. Nelson and the former Geneva De Vine of Nashville will celebrate 51 years of marriage on June 23. They have three daughters, Mrs. Annella Parker of Saline, Michigan; Mrs. Shirlie Augustine and Mrs. Janice Johnson, both of Nashville; eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. In his spare time, which is For Nelson Brumm, being a "Lion" is "helping people less fortunate...helping people to be an active part of society, both locally and worldwide...and helpinq my community to be a better place to live. (Maple Valley News photo) limited for such an active “retired” person, Nelson enjoys collecting driftwood and small stones. He labels himself not a “rock hound” but a “pebble puppy.” A rather out-of-the or­ dinary hobby also interests Nelson. He collects paper bags from department and variety stores and tobacco shops from around the world. The United States, Canada, and several foreign countries are represented in his collection. “This is something a fellow does when he has nothing better to do,” comments Nelson about his sack collecting. Gardening is also high on Nelson’s list of enjoyable activities. In addition to his extensive volunteer service to his community and his super “Lionism”, Nelson has also served the village and Castleton Township in an official capacity. He was township treasurer from 1937 to 1949; served as a trustee on the Nashville Village Council from 1952-54; and was Nashville’s Village Clerk from 1954 to 1958.

As with Lionism, he recruited others to active participation. “Helping people less fortunate, helping people to be an active part of society, both locally and worldwide, and helping my community to be a better place to live,” observes Nelson “is all a part of Lionism.” Nelson’s enthusiasm and dedication has inspired others and the entire Nash­ ville community has benefited because of his tireless contributions to public service.

Nisse The past Memorial Day Celebration held at our Maplewood Cemetery was one of the most moving and impressive ceremonies I’ve had the pleasure of at­ tending. Lead by Jack Rathburn, he introduced our speaker Rev. Paul Boger of the Ver­ montville Bible Church. He took us back through the years, to follow old trail from our small settlement east of the cemetery to the present day in such a manner that your very .senses saw, smelt the good things and knew the terrible struggles of their daily living. We were urged to stay a while and look around and talk to the people who we did honor on that day. You began to get the flavor of the occasion. Rev. Boger made us all aware of the need to protect the beautiful things of nature that God has given us and to appreciate the time in which we live and to remember who made it possible for us to be here in this place this day. It is our land, our right to protect and care for, our responsibility. Any one who did not feel humble that moment needs to take a second look around. Our Communities thank all those who participated. Service men, Veterans, John Hokanson who marched1 further than he should have, Scouts, and a special thanks to our Rev. Boger for a beautiful and moving tribute to our honored dead and words of solace to the living. Did you know that Vermontiville lost the first soldier in the Civil War? A lad of 19 years, Barbour by name, with fever, also the last man Rogers. That Private Demmers and Childs died 2 weeks apart, Oct. 1918 were both in Co A10 Battalion. That a spy Doctor and Nurse administered shots for going over seas and it took most of the men in the 10 Battalion to their deaths before they had the chance to leave the country? That the doctor and Nurse were caught trying to head West. The above I learned from Esther Shepard, our town historian. I can hardly wait for her book. Wish we could get some of her notes on tape. It would be most in­ formative and interesting. I’m going to encourage her to write a little story each week for our paper. I do believe we all would enjoy her sharing these ex­ periences of our forfathers with us.

H. B. Andrus, Superin­ tendant of School, acted as toastmaster at the auspicious occasion in Nash­ ville’s famed hostelry on South Main Street. Andrus first introduced Clyde W. Francis, whose topic bore the rather curious title, “Experiences of the Newlymarried Man.” Subsequent discourses were presented that evening by Miss Lida Feighner speaking on “America’s Patti”; S. Wilbert Smith on “Subduing the Bike”; Miss Lois Marshall on “Women”; and Ward Gribben on “The World’s Fair.” Selected music was furnished by Miss Katherine Dickinson while, later, Mrs. Mabel Bell and Miss Lida Feighner favored diners with a rendition of “Where Life is Brightest.” Saratoga Veal and potatoes highlighted the menu at that first NHS Alumni Banquet.

Red and blupe crepe paper tablecloths; napkins folded into cocked hats with water glass crowns; red, white and blue programs, together with showy boquets of red peonies, white spirea and blue honeysuckle, helped carry out the Washinton idea, the News account detailed, adding “The delicious dinner was prepared by the Rebekahs and served by the junior girls dressed in white dresses trimmed in red and blue.” Decorating motifs, based on a theme, were the vogue for banquets in that era. After the 1936 W. K. Kellogg expansion added a spacious new gymnasium to the high school, Alumni Banquets were staged there with the junior class preparing and serving the food under direction of their class advisor. During World War II, the banquets were temporarily i inn suspended but only four were missed in that period. Today, classmates still gather for the traditional reunion, now held annually at the Maple Valley High School, to once again dine together as they share happy memories of the past.

At tne conclusion of the dinner and formal program in the Maple Valley High School cafeteria, the Maurer family am y (a (all NHS an and MVHS grads) furnished musical entertainment in the auditorium, singing many lovely folk songs and ballads.

SPECIALS £SS5.m LUMINIZING «V■ A< moqn ,flts Sixth grade students in Mr. Slag’s room at Kellogg Elementary School in Nash­ ville discovered they could become “playwrights” in their own right by applying a little imagination and creative writing. Not only did the students write plays, but many of them also had an opportunity to perform in their very own productions on stage. In the accompanying photos, students are shown as they " portray the characters in “The 25th Century” written by classmates Sarah Curtis and Lynette Williams. The play begins on a bright sunny morning on a beach in Miami as two 13-year-olds search the sands for seashells, but instead find a mysterious lamp which ends up to be a magic lamp with its own genie. As genie’s are known to do, the genie in the story granted the girls three wishes and they end up taking a journey to the future via a “time machine” to the 25th Cen­ tury. When they arrive at their destination they discover that in the 25th Century, most of the land has been devasted by a series of Does what the sun could do! The family of Florence Bulling would like to express our thanks to friends and' relatives for their thoughtfulness during our time of sorrow. For the flowers, cards, food and contributions to the Heart Fund. Our special thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Floyd Duits, Mrs’ George Johnson, Mrs. Hazel • Brown, Mrs. Reva Johnson and the L. C. A.

The two girls and the genie soon meet two of the young survivers and urge them to come back to the “past” with them. However, the offer is declined because the survivors feel “this is where we belong.” The play concludes with the kind gesture of the benefactors of the lamp who give, their “last wish” to the survivors, saying, “I think our last wish should be given for the best that could ever happen for Melinda and Bambi.” An unusual play, featured in a photo, was written by Scott Visger and is a oneman show. In the production, Scott portrays all four characters in the play which relates around the ex­ periences in dealing with “The Unfair Teacher” as the play was titled. Scott Visger was the star and author of a play called The Unfair Teacher" in which he portrayed the roles of all four characters. mm 170 New 1979 Cars & Trucks On Our Lot!

These students show "what's in a name" by illustrating works of poetry they wrote themselves as a project in Miss Vicki Polanski's sixth grade class at Kellogg School. Displaying samples of some of the drawings in the class are (front) Brenda Kirk, Lynna Cousins, Brice Tobias and (back row) Todd Benton, Doreen Cook, Tracy Spillane, and Kent Hamilton. Arranging words with specific meaning, sound, and rhythin stirred the imaginations of sixth grade students in the classrooms of Mr. Slag, Miss Polanski, and Mrs. Briggs when they embarked on an adventure of writing poetry recently. The results of their efforts were quite creative and interesting. The following are samples of poetic writings from each room: PEOPLE by Kim Roush You see people every day as you’re walking along your way. Some may be tall or small And some may be funny Glad or mad Sad or bad People are people. RED by Sheila Staskus A hawk soars and cries, looking. It soars onward and upward, looking, Always looking.

The disease is often fatal to horses. Initially, it may cause hyperactivity in the animals, followed by ab­ normal drowsiness, tremors, lack of coordination, and loss of weight. The animal may chew excessively, have difficulty swallowing and show impaired vision, reduced reflexes and irregular gait. There is no treatment for infected animals. VIRGINIA FOX Candidate For . . .

(Maple Valley News photos) an advantage of a property tax (ad-valorem) is the fact that the tax amount is deductible from the property owner’s Federal and State income taxes. On the other hand, a millage tax is spread on each property in the village, regardless of whether the direct benefit is received or not by the project. Special Assissment BondsThis type of issue is frequently used in financing public works improvements. A disadvantage of a special assessment is the fact that it is looked upon as a property improvement cost and is not deductible from Federal or State income taxes. However, there are some advantages. Only properties receiving the improvements receive an assessment, which can be paid over a period of several years. In Michigan, some senior citizens stand to benefit from a state “revolving fund” which permits those who qualify to defer the annual payments on their special assessment until such time as the title to the property is transferred to another property owner.

Wednesday June 13, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Miles made no difference to Nashville’s Class of 1929 when they decided to gather for a reunion to celebrate their 50th year since graduation. The event was hosted by Mrs. Elizabeth (Gibson) Lynch of Bivens Road. Surprisingly, 15 of the 18 surviving members of the class were present Those from out-of-town were: Mr. and Mrs. Lee Bell of Okemos; Kenneth Bivens of Orlando, Fla.; Mr. and Mrs. Jack (Helen Rothaar) Bramble of Mr. Pleasant; Mr. and Mrs. Allen Brumm of Lake City, Minnesota; Mrs. Elmer (Clarice Norton) Hall of Battle Creek; Darrell Housler of Big Rapids; Mrs. E.C.

Elizabeth Lynch also celebrated a very special occasion just prior to her 50th class reunion, when she retired May 25th from her job with Defense Logistics Service Center at the Federal Center in Battle Creek. She had worked in the publication department there, and had been with DLSC over 16 years. A dinner, with 85 present, at the House of Ing in Battle Creek was given by Elizabeth’s co-workers in her honor. Without a doubt, the person traveling the farthest distance to attend Maple Valley’s graduation had to be Miss Magali Rosales who came from Barranquilla, Columbia-via a stop in Miami-to watch her neice, Monica Denyer, graduate with the Class of 1979. Monica has been a 6-month exchange student at MVHS, residing with Mr. and Mrs. John Bitgood of Nashville. She and her aunt will travel to New York to visit an uncle living there before Monica returns to South America in July. Five foreign exchange students were included 'in Maple Valley’s 1979 graduating class. Receiving diplomas, in addition to Monica Denyer, were Jon Aa and Paul Baltus, both of the Netherlands; Marcelo DelPai of Brazil; and Emi Yamaguchi of Japan. Also traveling some distance to attend MVHS graduation ceremonies Saturday were Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth (Marilyn) Anderson of Me Canna, North Dakota. The Andersons came to watch their nephew, Quentin Ward, receive his diploma. Quentin, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Ward of Nashville, has spent several past summers in North Dakota working on the Anderson’s ranch. (Marilyn is a sister to George Ward). A Saturday afternoon open house and Sunday morning break- By Susan Hinckley fast were hosted by the Wards in honor of Quentin and their special vistors. Sandy Hulbert and Kim Shupp, both juniors at MVHS this past year, left Friday morning for Mackinac Island where they have summer employment at the Murray Hotel located there. Graduation activities, open houses, and alumni reunions kept many Nashville folks busy the first weekend in June. Receptions throughout our area feted recent graduates. The weather was perfect, remaining sunny and warm for weekend festivities honoring the Class of 1979. Last Wednesday was an especially happy day for local youngsters as they began their summer vacation from school. An unusual amount of joyous noise, heard throughout the village, heralded the end of the school year. Congratulations to brand-new parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rodney (Linda) Pennock of rural Nashville on the birth of a son, June 1. The baby, who weighed 8 lbs. 1 oz., has been named Jacob Ryan. Proud paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Pennock of Nashville. The baby’s maternal grandparents reside in Royal Oak.

Meade of Franklin and his son and daughter-in-law, Robert and Joyce (Rothaar) Meade of Warren, Ohio. What a pleasure to meet these lovely folks! Kenneth A. Meade has been so very helpful in research on many “Memories” stories, and his reminiscing letters have allowed us to share a wealth of his hometown memories with our readers. His interest in the project, to remember and record some of Nashville’s earlier days, is greatly appreciated. Two Arizona residents were recent callers at the home of Mrs. Caroline Jones of Nashville. Her cousin, Mrs. Myrtle (Marshall) Donovan of Mesa, visited her Saturday. An earlier visit was enjoyed when Caroline’s former classmate, Mrs. Glenna (Mead) Auerbach of Prescott, Arizona, stopped by while she was in Nashville with her three sisters to call on friends and relatives here. The Mead sisters are all former village residents, reared in the present-day Douse home on North Main. Mrs. Melissa Showalter, who celebrated her birthday June 4th, had as a Monday viator Mrs. Dorothy Walker, formerly of Mr. Clemens, now of Hastings. Mrs. Walker, the former Dorothy Hynes, once taught at the Beigh School south of Nashville.

Father Abdoo, whose Diocese is based in New Jersey, recently returned from a 5-year stint as a schoolteacher at a mission in Kenya, Africa. He is currently on temporary assignment in the USA, but expects to be sent to a South American mission in the near future. A recent Battle Creek death of local note was that of Ar­ thur Shaffer, who passed away May 29 at the age of 69. He was a Nashville native and lived near the Quailtrap School south of Nashville, until leaving the area at age 16. Arthur was a brother to the late Maude Shaffer Ackett of Nashville. Current concern about the safety of DC-10 jumbo jets touched local folks recently. Thomas and Margaret Leonard of Nashville flew to California on an American Airlines DC­ 10, the day before the fateful crash in which 274 persons perished when a similar aircraft lost an engine during take­ off at Chicago. The Leonards went west to visit a friend at Los Angeles, where they enjoyed a week of sailing on the Pacific in his 30-ft. Bahama sailboat. Excursions to Santa Cruz Island in the Channel chain afforded an ideal op­ portunity to observe seals, shark, and dolphin, while an­ chored near Inlets surrounding the island. The leonards’ return flight to Michigan was also aboard an American DC­ 10, after the jetliner had undergone inspection and received clearance, but prior to the recent order grounding all such aircraft.

June 13. 1979 — Page 3 Mrs. Gladys Histead of Nashville is expected to undergo surgery this week at Pennock Hospital, but at this writing it is not known how long she will hp r-nrrTiryd Mrs. Sylvia (Spingett) Norton of Olivet, a former Nash­ ville resident, wrote last week to add a good deal of in­ teresting information to our recent “Memories” story on local blacksmiths. Mrs. Norton reports that the “uniden­ tified man” in the pre-1916 photo of Norm Hangerman’s shop was her father, John Springett. She also noted that the horses in the picture belonged to him. At that time, the family lived south of Nashville, on what was known as the old Hagerman farm, west of the Quailtrap School where the Springett children were enrolled. “My two brothers, Herold and Virgil, and I attended that school, when John Bowman taught there,” wrote Mrs. Norton. In the fall of 1919, the Springett family moved into Nashville to live in the house just north of the Charles Putnam home, now Putnam Library. Mrs. Norton added that Barney S. Eldred, another early blacksmith mentioned in the report, was her uncle-a brother to Mrs. Springett The “Memories” stories are wellcirculated through Mrs. Norton. She receives them from her daughter in Maple Grove, reads them, then forwards them on to a friend, Mrs. Myrtle (Marshall) Donovan, in Arizona. Mrs. Norton’s letter also disclosed that her two brothers are now both deceased; each lived in Quincy, Ill. at the time of his death. Good news that Mrs. Eliza Emery of Nashville was able to return home from Leila Hospital after a a-weeks stay following May 9th surgery. Her confinement time was less than expected and she is recuperating very well at home. Mrs. Emery, who underwent replacement of a hip joint and socket, is currently using a walker to get around. Mrs. Gunda Pennock had as guests last week her sister and brother-in-law, Gundrun and Andy Knutsun of Stanten Island, N.Y.

Nashville. Wednesday. June 13, 1979 — Page 4 Memories of the past . . Roll call at Castleton Center School in the early 1900’s was answered by a wealth of family names still prominent in the ap­ proximately 2-mile square area that comprised School District No. 2 in the young township. Among those early family names-Bahs, Huwe, Garlinger, and Meademany descendants are still living on ancestoral lands. At least five farms in the general area are designated, or qualified to be, centennial homesteads (owned by the same family over 100 years). Apparently no longer in the immediate vicinity, however, are descendants of John Barry on whose property the first Castleton Center School was built, at the corner of State and Eaton Roads in Section 15. A second structure later replaced that first crude building which had been moved to the Barry farm to serve as a residence and, later, as a grainery. In 1902 Peter Garlinger, who owned a large farm in Section 14, bought the ad­ joining Barry acreage and his grandson, Lorin Garlinger, who now lives on the land, tore down the school-turned-grainery in the early 1950’s. A handhewn beam retained from the original school is now a support timber in Lorin’s barn. The second Castleton Center School was built sometime prior to 1902; it was a more spacious edifice, fronted with a pair of mat­ ching door. (The building still stands, now converted to a private residence.) Less than a mile distant, a magnificent stone house was built during the Civil War by Thomas Blaisdell, an 1897 settler on Section 15 of Castleton Township. His grandaughter, Jessie Robinson, would marry and forward the Meade name to sixth-generation occupancy of the still-standing homestead. Blaisdell’s great-grandson, Kenneth A. Meade, recalls early days as a scholar at Castleton Center, where he began studies in 1911. “Each morning we sang from Kilpatrick’s Knapsack of Songs,” remembers Meade, who still has his copy of the songbook. “Sometimes State Road reaches toward the western horizon in this 1916 photo of Castleton Center School with nearby woodshed, on right, and the N.

The children also carried wood for the heating stove that sat in the center of the schoolroom. A bookcase with books and magazines, that Meade believes may have been donated, served as the school’s library. “My first introduction to National Geographic Magazine was through one in that bookcase,” said Meade, who can still vividly remember the African natives pictured in the magazine. Pleasant memories of seasonal outdoor activities at Castleton Center still linger. Noon hours and recess periods allowed the youngsters an opportunity to play ball on a diamond back of the school. “In the winter, after the first snow, we played a game of ‘Fox and Hares’ on a course laid out in the snow,” Meade reminisced, “and sometimes, at noon, we went skating on a pond north of the school on Huwe’s farm.” Each season brought its own special joy of learning. In the spring the children made excursions into Bahs’ woods on a field trip to pick and identify wild flowers. A favorite teacher at the school was Orlin Yank, who became locally well-known, later taught throughout Michigan, and finally retired near Woodland. He had been the only male among 24 graduates of Barry County Normal in 1911. Edward Hafner of Nash­ ville was a very early teacher at the school. Other later teachers, wellremembered, were Miss Gokay of Nashville; Arloa Berkely and Gertrude Bizer, both of Woodland, and Miss Vera Wood. Meade left Castleton Center School in 1916 to enter high school in Nashville, making the daily 10-mile round-trip by horse and buggy. Enrollment at Castleton Center varied, from 40 to 14, throughout the years. Lorin Garlinger, who started school there the year after Meade went on to high school, remembers classes averaging 25 to 30 students. Sometimes there were as many as 40 attending the school which was a large structure by most country school standards. An 1880 history of Barry County noted that '608 scholars were receiving instruction in Castleton Township, under the supervision of 8 males and 15 female teachers, who received an aggregate yearly sum of $2,363. The total value of school property in Castleton Township, which in 1880 included one brick and ten frame struc­ ture, was set at $4,615 and total resources for educational purposes in the township that year were $3,475. “The year 1842 witnessed the earliest effort toward establishment of a public Castleton Center scholars pose in 1913 with popular instructor, Orlin Yank.

Castleton’s country schools were assimilated into the Nashville Public School. This late 1930’s move was an economy measure precipitated by the stress of the Great Depression. Children from rural areas were bussed into the village, a plan encountering some opposition in farm districts in the township.

Flying through the air with the greatest of ease is Lion third baseman, Tuesday Aspinall who took this high throw from catcher Cinda Murphy but was too late with the tag to nip this Stockbridge runner. The Lions kept Panther scoring to a minimum as Coach Jackie Peek's squad posted a 13-9 victory. (Maple Volley News photo) The Maple Valley Lions continued to stalk a precious Class C state championship softball title Saturday but, in regional level action at Williamston High School, were rudely slapped with an abrupt end to their season. The Blissfield Royals, behind the blistering wind­ mill style pitching of Debbie Thompson, held off a late inning rally by the Lions to nip Maple Valley 10-8 and earn the trip to the state championship game this Saturday at Clare High School. Coach Jackie Peek’s Maple Valley squad had reached Saturday’s regional level by winning the Bellevue District last week and then whipping Stock­ bridge High 13-9 in the first game of the three-game regional. The highly controlled pitching of Terrie Huston continued to cast its magic spell against Stockbridge, though walks and a com­ bination of Lion errors in innings four and five allowed the Panthers their nine runs. However, Huston blanked Stockbridge through the final three innings while her teammates blistered the ball for a combination of four, four, and two runs in the last three innings of play. Highlight of the hitting barrage was a home run shot by Lori Decker. Outfielder Kelli Knoll and infielder Debbie Sutfin added three hits each. A leak proof Blissfield defense plus the inhibiting speed pitching of Thompson in game two kept the Royals in control of the Lion fate However, Maple Valley which entered the final in­ ning with a 10-3 deficit used a combination of walks and key hits to come up with five big runs. However, with one out and the bases loaded in that final chance, Carmaine Janousek ripped into an infield double play to send Blissfield into wild celebration.

From our readers I wish to thank all the people who signed the petition I circulated per­ taining to Vermontville Highway. There were over eleven hundred names in all. I presented the petition to the Eaton County Highway Board at a commissioners meeting on Wednesday May 23rd, accompanied by Vernon Trowbridge, president of Village of Vermontville and Wilbur Marsh, president of Maple Valley School Board. We were told that there was no funds available to improve this road like it has been done West of Ver­ montville, that is, not in the near future. They are making a real fine im- provement as we all have noticed. We were told they hope to make more im­ provements this year. We all hope so. Thank you again, Leonard Aldrich 314 N.

This type of bond is generally more costlyjiecause only the income from the operating system is pledged as security to back the bond issue. As a result, interest rates can be higher, and the financing charges are also higher. Chariman Kienutske also explained that on the basis of the information the council and Public In­ formation Committee have received, it is also possible to use the revenue from the operating system to repay General Obligation Bonds. “These are just a few of the options we have open to iis. The council will be making some critical decisions in the weeks to come, and I think I can speak for the other members of the Public Information Com­ mittee when I encourage all the residents of Nashville to make the effort to find out about the" financing of the project and help select the method best suited for our village.” An added measure of protection for Nashville is provided by the Michigan Municipal Finance Com­ mission, who will review and approve the selected financing plan prior to the sale of bonds. The village council has also instructed its consulting engineers to file an ap­ plication for a loan from the Farmers Home Ad­ ministration (FmHA). If the loan is approved, the FmHA will agree to purchase the bonds for the project’s local share at 5 percent interest for 40 years. Chairman Kienutske explained that this can result in substantial cost savings over the term of the bond issue. On the basis of recent bond sales, the difference between the current interest rate on the open market and a FmHA loan is approzimately 1 percent, but open market bonds usually have a higher annual payment because of a much shorter pay back period. That difference can mean a real savings to the residents of Nashville. • • One Coat Coverage • Fade Resistant. • Stain Resistant. • Non-Chalking.

Wednesday, June 13. 1979 — Page 12 Nashville site for senior citizens new In my last letter I indicated that our group couldn’t be involved in more activity than we were. That proved to be an erroneous assumption, as May has been our busiest month to date! We began the month by honoring our eldest group member, George Dean, in observing his 95th birthday on May 1st. That day Mrs. Nancy Cook, her daughters and a friend entertained us in song, with guitar accompaniment. Mrs. Cook then intrigued us with her ventriloquist friend “George”, and titillated us with his homespun humor and philosophies. She was a good entertainer and we appreciated her effort very much. On May 4th, twelve of our Site members, traveling by bus and private cars, took advantage of the Health Screening at the CAC in Hastings. On the same, evening, nine went to Delton to the “Good Time Barbershop Variety Show” which we enjoyed so much; especially the gorgeous costumes. Then we indulged in a little singing of our own P Thank You to... BULTMAN STUDIOS J 2252 S. Division, Grand Rapids, MI j .. .for supplying the 1979 Maple I Five of our group attended the Region III Legislative Conference for Senior Citizens held at Kalamazoo Valley Community College on May 11. The Keynote Speaker was Rep. David Hollister. In the Michigan House, Rep. Hollister has chaired the Mental Health Committee and been a member of the Commission on Aging. He is now a member of the House Appropriations Committee. In the afternoon we formed small discussion groups on topics which pertained to special interests of older citizens. Those from Nash­ ville who attended were the Messrs. Clare Wright, Gaylord Morton, Forrest Babcock, Clifford Brooks and Mrs. Ferne Green. Also on the 11th, each lady present at the noon hour a received beautiful “Mother’s Day” Carnation, compliments of Deidra Sprinkle, Edna Edwards and Forrest Babcock. On the 15th Clare Wright, Forrest Babcock, Gaylord Morton and Ferne Green arrived - sleepy eyed - at the Site at 7:45 a.m., joining Hastings people for the trip to Lansing to attend “Senior Power Day”. Two local vans transported. The crowd in Lansing was estimated at well over Six we x Thousand. ousan. Everyone was served a I delicious Box-lunch, at their | seats, at noon and after lunch noted persons, in­ cluding cu ng Gov. ov. Milliken, en,spoe spoke |briefly rey concerning concernng the te needs, nees, concerns, rights and powers of the elderly population. on the 16th a number of 6th Grade students from Nashville Kellogg Elementary School, under the tutelage of Liz VanderMolen, gave an excellent exhibition of Square Dancing, engaging in many intricate formations. For some of our group, the trip to the Holland Tulip Festival on the 17th was the highpoint of interest this month. Nashville folks who went were Gladys Histed, Clifford Brooks, Gaylord Morton, Ona Hinckly and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Tegel. We had a full house on the 18th. Bill Rummel, a hearing-aid specialist representing the Michigan Hearing Aid Co. of Wyoming, Mich., conducted hearing tests. After lunch a Con­ sumers Power agent showed when homeward bound. May blood pressure readings totaled 32, about average per month. Our monthly Site Meeting was held on May 8th. Since quite a number of the group have difficulty with hearing, we discussed purchasing a Public Address System. All members donated toward the system and we used it for the first time onthe 11th. It is a valuble asset, improving communications greatly. A committee of three persons was appointed to draft a. “disposal agreement” of the System, in the event of disbandment of the group at some future date. This month a Sympathy card went to Trudy Brown when she lost a brother, and Convalescent cards to Viola Beystrum and Eliza Emery. Viola is able to be with us again, and Eliza is at home, after having undergone hip surgery. We also had a “Card Shower” for Beulah Thompson, shortly before her demise. Beulah was a really “grand” lady with a winsome personality, and she will be sorely missed (especially by me). Valley Graduates pictures. —The Maple Valley News EXCAVATING 2996 N.

Thirty-four of our group enjoyed a trip, by chartered bus, to the Cornwell Turkey Farm, Marshall, the af­ ternoon of the 24th. Alittle rain fell, but a pleasant trip and a safe return! Our May Birthday Party, with extra cake and ice cream, honored natal days of George Dean, Helen Hu we, and Fern Hawblitz. Also honored were Mr. and Mrs. Rchard Green, who observe their 44th Wedding Anniversary on June 1. Mr. Roberts, Barry County Civil Defense Director, came and instructed us about “Tornado Safety”, giving pointers to better insure one’s personal safety during violent weather. In mid-May, we bid a fond farewell to Deidra Sprinkle, who had been our Site Supervisor for some months. We presented her with a gift, and expressed our wish to her for a happy marrigae and a successful future. She intends to live in Rockford, Mrs. Earl Michigan.. (CLARA ( Pennock is acting as Site Supervisor, and we are helping her get ac­ customed to the routine. She is doing fine, already, and we enjoy her! Some of the articles shared on “Show and Tell” this month have been a beautiful fringed silk shawl and a pair of “Geisha Girl” pictures from Japan (Carol) two small dolls from Germany, 40 years old (Verna), and cuddly bed-time toys that Clara sews. She brought Teddy Bears, and Owl, Elephant and a Beaver, just right for Tots wee hands. On May 30th, Twenty people, all ages, from EBI, Lake Odessa, entertained us with a dozen songs; a mixture of old favorites, Patriotic Religious and semi-popular light music. There were numbers featuring a solo part, duet and quartet leads. Margaret did a song with guitar and Maxine did some excellent baton twirling. Some numbers featured harmonica and kazoo accompaniments. The Director of the Group (also guitarist) deserves a great -deal of credit for co-ordinating the talent in the group that brings so much pleasure to others, as well as to them­ selves. We’d enjoy having their “Sunshine Singing Club” visit us again soon! The month closed with Lyn Thompson being our lun­ cheon guest and giving us the results of a recent survey taken among all Sites, as to preferences for jEducational programs, Activities and Entertainment. MEMBER NNA Association - Founded 1885 Due Bill - The House has approved HB 4245, the 1979-80 K12 school aid bill, which contains an increase of some 9 percent. Amounts will surely be changed in the Senate, but still this is the first 1980 budget bill to pass one house this year. L Last Primary? y - The full House will soon vote on HB 4392,, which would do away with Michigan’s Presidential Primary. Proponents cite the high cost and low turnout for the 1976 primary; Primary supporters urge keeping it, with changes. I’d be interested in your feelings on this issue. Jobs Up - Michigan’s unemployment rate registered a big drop in May, down to 7.2 percent from April’s 8.6 percent This was due to increased outdoor and retail business ac­ tivity. Even so, it is higher than the 6.6 percent rate for May 1978. Headlee Action - Both houses have now approved HB 4232, which implements the property-tax-millage-rollback provision of the Headlee tax limitation amendment. Differing elements of the House and Senate versions must be reconciled. Also the Senate will soon vote on SB 460, which implements the provision that the state must pay for new programs it requires locally. Energy Powers - Now before the House is SB 244, which would give the governor broad powers to declare an energy emergency and to issue executive orders to deal with that emergency. The governor could declare an energy emergency for 90 days and suspend any law that interferes with the state’s ability to meet the situation. The legislature ’ could end the emergency. Gas Good - The state Energy Director has said that gasoline supplies will be adequate to meet Michigan demand during June. However, he urged motorists to conserve gasoline whenever possible so that more will be available for vacation use. The availability hotline: 800-292-2520 Heavy Breathing - The Senate has approved SB 236, which would require non-smoking areas at public meetings of state government units and their agencies. The area could be designated by a sign or verbally; there would have to bea verbal notice at the start of the meeting. Legitimate issue - Governor Milliken has signed into law HB 4246, which prohibits on a birth certificate any reference to the legitimacy or illegitimacy of a child. This would apply to both the public and confidential portions of the birth record. Beer Competition? - Governor Milliken has proposed to the Liquor Control Commission new rules which would encourage competition in beer pricing. These would remove restrictions on quantity discounts, price advertising and wholesale pricing procedures. Hearings will come later. • NOTICE • There will be a Public Hearing June .14, 1979 at Castleton Township Hall at 6:00 p.m. for the purpose of reapprop­ riating the 10th entitlement period of Federal Revenue Sharing.

Among the classes being offered during the four days of College Week is one on fighting “foodflation,” taught by a Kalamazoo consumer marketing agent. She will discuss new strategies to stretch food dollars. She’ll also explain the food pricing and marketing system. An MSU specialist in community safety programs will talk about automobile care and ways to save gasoline during a class called “You Auto Know.” In another energy-related session, two representatives from the university’s agricultural engineering department will discuss solar energy and home in­ sulation. People interested in learning where their tax dollars go can take part in a class taught by a public policy agent from the Cooperative Extension Service.

Because these foods do not contain enough acid to protect against certain bacteria, low acid foods must be processed, “superheated”, to or 240 degrees F. in a pressure canner to destroy these bacteria and produce a safe and wholesome food product.

Subsidy approved for rail service between Vermontville and Grand Rapids — The Michigan Transportation Commission Wednesday approved state subsidy for the Kent, Barry, Eaton Connecting Railway (KBE) to operate rail freight service between Grand Rapids and Vermontville. In his motion to accept the recommendation of the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) to award an operating contract to KBE, Vice Chairman Carl V. Pellonpaa of Ishpeming repeated the previous State Highway Commission’s commitment to affirmative action by providing help for a minority enterprise. KBE, composed of black Detriot business people, would be the first minority-owned railroad in the state and possibly in the country. The nine-month operating contract will provide a subsidy of $574,597, a commitment subject to legislative approval. In the second year of operation, KBE would require a sub­ sidy of $954,129 for 12 months. This compares with a current six-month operating and maintenance contract with Conrail for the sum of $104,525. Conrail is much larger, has its own locomotives, an accounting system and charges only for the time it works on the line. The 41.7-mile line, once owned by the bankrupt Penn Central Railroad, has been operated since April 1, 1976, by Conrail and subsidized by the state. KBE operations should begin sometime after July 1. Along with the nine-month operating contract and the commitment of funds, the Transportation Commission also accepted KBE’s fiveyear plan, financing arrangements and consultant; and approved cancellation of the current Conrail contract and adoption of a maintenance agreement with Midwest Construction Co.

Burr Hartenburg made a report relative to projected class sizes for the coming school year which show that some classes such as ad­ vanced mathematics, chemistry, and honors English only have four or five students registered to take these courses. The general discussion was whether or not to offer these courses every other year considering the low enrollment each year. No decision was reached, and the enrollment in all classes will be studied further. The board members set the price on the building trades house recently completed on Casgrove Street in Nashville at $48,500 with an open listing through the local realtors. Mrs. Hildred Peabody and some elementary teachers were present to make a presentation covering their visits to other elementary schools regarding tran­ sitions rooms. Such rooms are developed for children that have experienced dif­ ficulty in kindergarten, and it isn't advisable to have the student enroll in the regular first grade classroom. There was a general discussion relative to having such a room, but no action was taken. The board members ap­ proved the purchase of seven IBM typewriters for the office block program at a cost of $3,955.00. Approval was given the purchase of a photo copy machine (Model 207) from 3M company at a cost of $995.00. Robert Dormer abstained from voting on the copy machine. The board members ap­ proved the purchase of two lots at Fuller Heights in Nashville from Mr. & Mrs. LaVerne Stierley. These lots will be used as future sites for the building trades class. Ground broken in Charlotte for H-G-B Hospital wingground breaking A ceremony for a new wing at Hayes-Green-Beach Memorial Hospital was held Sunday afternoon. With a total of the fund­ raising program standing at $669,853., Clifford Smith, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of. the hospital, hasannounced that a con­ tract had been signed with HBE of St. Louis, Missouri, a hospital construction firm.

There are still more than 2,000 solicitations to be completed and the volunteers of our com­ mittees and divisions will dedicate themselves to the completion of that assign­ ment.” Mr. Fowler’s Big Gifts Committee is now awaiting a decision on larger gifts that will be forthcoming from Owens-Illinois, Inc., General Motors and other con­ tributors capable of sizable amounts. Mr. Smith said the present campaign total came from fewer than 900 contributors. He also said that the campaign organization was planning to publish a special list of contributors when the 1,000 contributor mark is reached later this month.

Antique store fixtures dating from the 1860’s to the 1930’s, which Dimmers has collected over the past nine years, will fill the former Johnson Warehouse building (south of the bank) as Dimmers recreates an early general store, bringing history to life. “We intend to have fun, and hope others will enjoy it also,” observed the busy attorney who considers the restoration project a hobby. In his spare hours he has painted the building’s interior and is currently refinishing the old wooden floor. Many of the-antique patent medicine advertising signs he will use came from the long­ time Classic’s Drug Store in Woodland. From Delton, he secured old post office facilities to be placed along one wall. Dimmer’s enterprise will feature a variety of commodities offered for sale in an early general store, including peanuts freshly roasted in old coffee grinders (coffee will also be freshly-ground), penny candies, calicos and thread, replicas ofwooden toys, cheese, crackers, and pickles from a barrel.

A bolt of lightening jolted Sandyland Park Sunday, during our recent severe weather watch, but fortunately no one was injured. The flash first struck - and melted - a double CB antenna on an auto parked near the entry area, jumped to a nearby chain link fence several feet west of the ticket booth, and ran eastward along the metal fence. Only the in­ terruption of the wooden ticket booth undoubtedly saved security guard Dan Dipert, who had just opened the main gate to allow an auto driven by Rosalie Murphy to enter the interior grounds. Thwarted by the wooden booth, the bolt shot up the wire on an adjacent utility pole, knocking out phone service and a mercury light on the post. Several persons who were in their autos in the parking lot, seeking shelter from a downpour which had inundated Nashville moments earlier, were severely startled by the incident, as were park personnel in the ticket booth. Dipert reportedly felt the tingle of the electricity as he raised his hand from the metal gate. The deluge caused both Sunday shows to be cancelled. Grand Ole Opry star Cal Smith and his entourage from Nashville, Tenn., were in their bus parked near the stage building when the lightening struck. The flash left two sizable holes in the ground, as mute testimony to its force, and also temporarily left Sandyland without phone service, plus a loss of power to the ticket booth. The Nashville Fire Department was called to the South End grocery Saturday evening, June 9, to extinguish a car fire. The blaze reportedly damaged .the engine and front tires of an auto belonging to Harold Whitaker of Nashville. Horseshoes may be a symbol of good luck but perhaps not for a little miss on Guy Road. The Nashville was called out Thursday to transport a 12-year-old girl to Pennock Hospital, for treatment of chest injuries sustained when she was kicked in the side by a horse. The same young lady, just last month, had spent several days in the hospital after suffering head injuries in a similar mishap.

Among the biggest operators are John Furniss, H. E. Downing and Flav Feighner, all of whom are paying from one to five cents higher than buyers in neighboring towns.” Another five years, and Nashville’s wool situation was reported stable, if not flourishing.

Hummel of Nashville often worked in duo with trimmer Ed Feighner, because it proved more profitable to haul their equipment together and, shearing in unison, they could complete an entire flock in one day. With two rigs in operation, the men could trim close to 100 sheep in a working day and received 10 to 15 cents per head, Fay recalls. The Vic Furniss was a gentleman farmer, who lived in Hummel and Feighner town but raised livestock on property he owned near enterprise required at least the western village limits.

Wednesday, June 20. 1979 — Page 8 Nashville Chamber tours J-Ad Graphics About 30 members of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce toured the facilities of J-Ad Graphics, Inc. of Hastings last week to see a step-by-step process of the production of the Maple Valley News. In addition to publishing the Maple Valley News, J-Ad Graphics also publishes the Reminder, Battle Creek Shopper, and Marshall Advisor. Twenty other publications also are printed at the Hastings plant. The tour began where the news writing begins, at the Compugraphic Mini-Disk terminal. This machine eliminates a regular typewriter and paper. As reporters type their stories, the words appear on a television screen and are entered onto a magnetic disk. The terminal com­ pletes two steps at one time; copy that is input into the terminal is automatically typeset in the process. In the press room, where the tour ended, chamber members observed the printing of the Battle Creek Shopper News and received copies “hot off the press." Afterwards, refreshments were served and the Virginia Alles, advertising representative for the Maple Valley News, looks through the art library at J-Ad Graphics to show Sharon and Jerry Brumm (left) and Terri Terrill all the many ideas available to illustrate display ads. ECKRICH— HOT DOGS Beef d ri Regular Chamber held its regular meeting. A view looking through the web press is shown in this photo. In the background are Nashville Chamber President Charles Andrus (right) and Dave Mace. After learning the step-by-step process of newspaper production, the tour concluded at the press of the Maple Valley News, gives a demonstration of the computer which reads a punched tape to set news stories and want-ads. Looking on are Mr. and Mrs. Justin Cooley and Irene Goodnoe. Melvin Jacobs shows Dave Mace the art library at J-Ad Graphics. Mr. Jacobs soon begins his 35th year as publisher of the Reminder.

Wednesday, June 20, 1979_Page 9 More poetry from Kellogg students Before school was dismissed for the summer, sixth grade students in the classes of Mr. Slag, Miss Polanski, and Mrs. Briggs at Kellogg School in Nashville had the creative writing experience of composing their own poetry. The following poems are samples of their work: by Mark Shattuck There was a young lad from Book Bay Who never felt merry or gay He took a big bucket Went to Nantucket And shot baskets for the rest of the day. MY NAME IS by Todd Benton Together we will go away, Our freedom we will gain Down the mountains and through vallies Dreaming all the way. THE SALT SPRAY by Raynette Knapp The waves are splashing on the breakers. It’s a fresh green spring day. Looking for my lost, yes, lost love. But, it’s all, oh, it’s all in vain. He’s gone, gone in the sea Never to return He was so dear to me Searching far over the salt spray. Maybe he’ll come back to me some day But no, he’s gone, gone with the sea. BRICE IS MY NAME by Brice A. Tobias Bring yourself into my wc$ld, my very own place. Reading and writing all day long I do. I sit on my haunches dreaming along. Come and see the dreams of the day. Ever so neatly printed in view, come and see the dreams from my view. GREEN by Robert Browne Green is the dolor of grass in the spring, Green is the color of nature’s seed. Green is the streak of something flying. Green is the stem of a dandy-lion. Green is the color of the oceans and seas. It really is, believe you me. I can still think of a whole lot more, But just the same, let your mind soar. MY PLACE by Karen Long There’s a place where only I know; Deep into the woods where violets grow, Where the streams gurgle and flow, Through the Spring’s rain and winters snow Life here is jolly Filled with the scent of honey and holly Where deer dance and play day by day. by Karen Long There was an old man of Cabill, who lived in a house on a hill, When the rain finally came, his house wasn’t the same, Now who was to blame. For he built it of mud which he baked in the sun but now it is nothing but a gaint sized mat Which is the home of a water rat. He swims to one side and back. Because the old man of Cabill had the brains of a bat. CAMPING by Julius Maurer There once was a guy named Zan. And he sure liked camping. He liked it so much... His house became a tent. All the bricks became rocks. Resting around the fire. And all the wood became wood to make the fire burn. The rose come budding and the young trees are rootjng The beavers are cutting away at some trees All the furniture he had sold. Became money so he could buy the tent. He would sit on logs. That he had chopped with an ax. And lay on the ground. That he cleared with his hand. The young birds fly through yonder blue sky Soaring away wishing as I that the blue sky should shine all day long. WHY CAN’T I SEE IT? by Jackie Gardner But then the sun sets and sinks into the mountain tops rinks Then I leave my place with a wave and a sigh, And my mom asked me where I spent all the day. I just give a nod and a little wink. I hear the wind singing; As it goes along like a beautiful stream. It goes as high as the highest mountain... As low as the lowest land. I hear the wind whistle, and whistle and whistle. There is just one thing I don’t understand, WHY CAN’T I SEE IT? LITTLE CHICKADEE CHAP by Daniel Robert Lykins I lay in my bed on a stormy night; and listen to the wind howling. I look out the window and wonder to myself; WHY CAN’T I SEE IT? Little chickadee chap; With his little black cap. Singin’ in the treetops Flittin’ in the breeze Singin’ his mighty song With such graceful ease. I went outside on a warm summer eve; Oh was the breeze cool; It took my mind so far away; to a “place” that no one had seen. Then I thought to myself maybe... The wind was an unknown mystery; I thought... Hey..Yea.... “THAT’S WHY I CAN’T SEE IT!” NASHVILLE CHAMBER of COMMERCE Circus Genoa ot Wednesday, June 27th Showtimes 4 and 8 p.m Under the Big Top West Sherman Ball Field �The Maple Valley New*, Nashville, Wednesday, June 30, 1979 — Page 10 CB News Action Ads Barry County Extension Service CALENDAR of EVENTS DEMONSTRATORS -MERRI Papa and Mama Dipper MAC enables you to earn were at their daughter cashon your own hours.

Based on con­ ditions as of June 1, growers still expect to harvest 770,000 acres of winter wheht this summer with the State average yield of 40 bushels per acre. The crop condition remained fairly good throughout the State with nearly half of the crop headed by June 10. Nationally, the winter wheat crop is pegged at 1.43 billion bushels, 14 percent greater than last year and 3 percent above last month’s forecast. Peach growers in Michigan are expecting a much smaller crop than normal. Producers lost many trees due to the hard winter, plus the spring weather was not conducive to good bloom, pollination, etc. The 1979 crop is set at 35 million pounds, 42 percent less than last season. On the United States level, the peach crop is expected to be almost 3 billion pounds, up 8 percent from last year and almost equal to the 1977 crop. Nashville VFW 8260 The Way They Were..

Grant’s Tomb? - The Senate Municipalities and Elections Committee has voted to remove from the 1979-80 budget the state’s annual $800,000 grant for the Pontiac Silverdome.

Food Thought - Under present law, all school districts must begin breakfast programs this fall. However, a special House subcommittee is now studying HB 4427 and 4503 which would allow local voters to decide whether or not to have them.

Busy Signal - Now in the House is SB 150, which would prohibit the use of automated-dialing, push-button or toneactivated devices for pre-recorded commercial telephone messages. However, they could be used if a telephone subscriber has said it’s OK or given his number to the caller. There have been several complaints about such “robot” calls.

Circus Genoa, billed as America’s second-largest three-ring tent circus, will pay a visit to Nashville this Wednesday. Two shows, featuring lions, tigers, elephants, dogs, ponies, mules, horses, camels and llamas, will be held under the big top at 4 and 8 p.mK at the West Sherman Ball Field south­ west of the Main Street stores. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring the circus’s visit to the village as a fund-raising project. Advance tickets for the shows may be purchased from any Chamber member, at the Reminder office in Hastings, or at the Charlotte Shopping Guide’s office. Tickets also will be available at the showgrounds on circus day for those who do not pur­ chase tickets in advance. Hailed as the en­ tertainment world’s “brightest new gem,” Circus Genoa features more trained wild and domestic animals than any other tent circus on tour in the United States...including three herds of performing elephants. Also offered to all patrons of the big show, without additional charge, is a huge wild animal zoo. In addition to animals, the circus performance includes a vast array of topjiuman performers from the four corners of the world — wire walkers, jugglers, acrobats, trapeze stars, equestriennes, contortionists, balancers, aerialists, high-wire thrillers, and, of course, funny clowns — all backed by a live brass band, one of the few circus bands still in existence. Animal performers in­ clude ferocious, lions and tigers in the steel arena, horses, ponies, dogs, three herds of elephants, white wolves, mules, camels, and llamas. Circus Genoa will arrive Wednesday morning on a specially constructed fleet of trucks and semi-trailers, erectits tented city, give two performances, dismantle the entire thing and move it once again in less than 24 hours. On the following day, other circus patrons will be watching the same clowns and performers and tossing peanuts to the same elephants 50 to 100 miles down the road. The miracle of logistics is accomplished daily from March until November by the more than 150 employees of the great Circus Genoa. People of this area are invited to visit the circus grounds Wednesday mor­ ning (June 27) to see the unloading and erection of the huge big top and other tents and equipment and to wit­ ness the feeding of the many circus animals. There is nocharge to be on hand for this unusual experience. Early in the morning, the more than 25 diesel-powered transport trucks will begin arriving. The huge circus tent will be spread, stakes will be driven, and a crew of men and trained elephants will push, pull, and lift the canvas auditorium more than 35 feet into the air. A total of 300 stakes, 106 poles and several miles of cables and ropes will be necessary. Meanwhile, trucks and trailers carrying the huge free menagerie will be moved into position arid attentants will feed and water their beasts. This attraction is shown free during the rriorning hours and to all patrons with tickets for the show without additional charge. All of the circus-morning activity is a show in itself. Everyone is invited to witness this seldom-seen spectacle; and the best part, it’s free. Head trainer for the Circus Lining up to fill ‘er up A scene from'Califomia?

The effects of the gasoline shortage were being felt around the nation as the protest by independent truck drivers, blockading gasoline supply terminals, caused gas supplies to dwindle..

Bobby Gibbs, a veteran circus star who has appeared with virtually every American indoor and outdoor show at some time or another, and also has presented his fine acts in Mexico, Canada, Alaska, and Central and South America. For several years, he was featured at the Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wis., but after several “relaxing” summers, his feet began to itch again and he was coaxed back to the tented circus by the management of the new Circus Genoa. Gibbs says that elephants are the easiest beasts to train. “It isn’t true that they never forget,” he says, “but they are very intelligent and they love to show off for the public.” On the other side of the ledger, horses probably are the most difficult to develop Continued on page 9— Vermontville Academy to offer summer colonial craft classes — Efforts are being made to make the Vermontville museum a focal point of interest this summer. As usual, the local historical society will have it open to visitors from 2-5 o’clock on Saturday afternoons during the month of July. A committee has planned to offer the children in this community an opportunity to learn some of the crafts and games that were popular when the Academy served as the only school in this community. Activities have been arranged for 2-4 p.m. ac­ cording to the following schedule: July 7 - Spool knitting for children in 3rd grade or above. July 14 - Colonial samplers for children in 3rd grade or above. July 21 - Crocheting and tatting for children in 7th grade or above. July 28 - Continuation of crocheting and tatting. It will be helpful if those planning to attend will call either Leta Nagle (726-0468) or Martha Zembke (726-0338) by Wednesday prior to the scheduled class. There will be no charge for the lessons and all materials will be furnished. It is hoped that many children will enjoy participating in this project, say its sponsors. |T5.ffltennan T Ball Held H WOMPH, O14XICT cr COXXf g,r Nashville Chamber President Charles Andrus, Jr. arranged for Circus Genoa to perform in Nashville.

Two Nashville service stations were out of gasoline supplies by last Wednesday afternoon while long lines formed at the two remaining stations, though they also closed early in the evening. Gilbert P. Dickinson, former Nashville area farmer, died at Tampa, Florida last Wednesday. He and his wife, the former Ada Noyes, had lived in the south since 1952. Sur­ vivors are his wife, and a brother, Glenn, of Vermontville. Condolences to the family. Eight Nashville fireman, a NFD tanker and panel truck raced to Vermontville last Monday afternoon to assist Vermontville firefighters with a serious house fire on West First Street, about two blocks west of their fire station. A lack of manpower prompted the call for aid from Nashville. By coincidence, Nashville fireman Don Augustine happened to be working on a construction job at a home within a twoblock range of the fire. He heard the VFD call for manpower assistance on his personal monitor and also through the general alarm. Augustine always carried his fire gear with him. He scurried to the scene and was soon joined by seven other Nashville firemen. The upper floor of a large home was extensively gutted and there were also serious damage to the main level, though some household goods were rescued. The battle against the flames was hampered by a tin roof topped with asphalt, making it difficult to cut holes in the roof to allow the increasingly intense heat to escape. However, three openings were finally made while firemen shot water through gables into the attic area. Nashville firemen were on the scene nearly two hours. All over America, a new spirit of independence is stirring among the elderly. They are discovering that Washington cannot or will not solve all their problems. Many can best be handled on the local level. Every social reform demands organization, hard work, a sacrifice.of time and energy. This is in the best interests of American democracy, which is an ongoing experience.

The breakfast proceeds Sunday morning worship service. Mrs. Helen Furlong of Nashville was stricken with a heart attack while driving home from Pinconning Sunday, June 17, where she had been visiting her son. Feeling a pain in her chest and realizing she felt ill, Helen, who is a registered nurse, pulled off the highway and sought help at a nearby restaurant. An ambulance was summoned to transport her to McLaren Hospital in Flint where she was confined to the Cardiac Unit. Rev. Leonard Putnam of Nashville called on her last week and reports she is coming along fine and ex­ pects to be home soon The Open Bible Running Club, under the direction of Assistant Pastor Don Roscoe of the Nashville Baptist Church, is making giant strides. The past weekend several members of the team were slated to participate in the 10,000 meter run as part of Bellevue’s “Clown Days”. Next Saturday, June 30, a contingent of runners from the club are expected to compete in the Kalamazoo Classic, also a 10,000 meter race. The club is open to all Christian men or women in the community who are interested in jogging or long­ distance running. When not competing out of town, the club conducts “fun runs’* locally, proceeded by a Saturday morning devotional time. John Mason of Nashville enjoyed a two-day trip to Gladwin last week to visit his brother, Robert, a former local resident who is now affiliated with an independent ambulance service there. On the trip home, John toured an ambulance distributorship in Flint to gather literature and information for the local ambulance board. It took a journey to big Nashville (Tennessee) for one New York lady to learn about little Nashville (Michigan), but that discovery prompted a recent flight here. Audrey Earnshaw of Warwick, N.Y., was touring the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Term., when she was handed a flyer about Sandyland Park by another member of the excursion. Being an avid Tommy Overstreet fan, and noting the star was to appear here on June 17, Audrey decided to fly to Michigan for his performance. She phoned Sandy Salyers of Sandyland to inquire about the show and told him when she would be arriving at Lansing airport. Sandy arranged for Mike Appelman to drive to Lansing to bring Audrey to Sandyland Park where she thour oughly enjoyed Overstreets dual Sunday show. In addition to the entertainment, Audrey was also very impressed with Nashville (Mich.) hospitality. Mrs. Elizabeth Askins of Nashville was a Wednesday through Friday houseguest of Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville; Thursday, she was Mrs. Ramsey’s guest at a potluck dinner at the Union Hall in Hastings for retirees of E. W. Bliss Local 414. A handsome 1891 album of Barry and Eaton Counties, in mint condition, was recently donated to Putnam Public Library by Mrs. Margaret Wagner. The exquisite leather­ bound volume contains full page portraits and biographical sketches of prominent citizens of both counties. Needless to say, the unusual book will be for in-library viewing only. It was one of a quantity of books recently donated to the library by Mrs. Wagner, and is a greatly appreciated ad­ dition to the Putnam collection. A reminiscing letter from Mrs. June Brown Potter of rural Bellevue has added several interesting footnotes to our recent “Memories” story on the old Castleton Center School. John Barry, on whose land the school on State Road was built, was brother to Mrs. Potter's grandfather, Fred Barry, who also donated land for a worthy cause. His property further west on State Road was the site of the Martin Corners Methodist Church, still standing but vacant, on the present-day Robert Barry farm. Mrs. Potter’s letter also informed us that John Barry, whose farm was adjacent to the Castleton Center School, was married to Anna Downing, a sister to Homer Downing of Nashville, who was a prominent and weD-known Nashville businessman. Memories of teacher Orlin Yank were also recalled by Mrs. Potter, as he was her first instructor when she started her schooling at Coats Grove country school. Yank, whom she remembers as a “strict but fair-minded teacher", lived with his parents at Stoney Point at that time. June recalls two events from those early school days, as if it were only yesterday. One was her first school Chirstmas when a huge 12-foot tree cut from the neighbor’s property was brought in. It touched the ceiling and was lighted with real candles, she recalls. “As I was the only kindergartner I was permitted to light the candles on the bottom row-a great thrill for me,” writes Mrs. Potter. After they were all lit, the candles were soon snuffed out to prevent fire, but left a lasting memory. The other event Mrs. Potter remembers under Yank’s tutelage was “being made to stand in the corner for talking too much,” with the delightful annotation: “Sorry to say the punishment never worked.” Thanks to Mrs. Potter for sharing these lovely memories with us.

Wednesday, June 27, 1979 —Page 4 recruiting temporary census workers for Barry County Census MESC Workers interested in temporary jobs in Barry County during the next few weeks with the U.S. Census Bureau should register for the openings now at the Michigan Employment Security Commission (MESC) Job Service office in Hastings. MESC Director S. Martin Taylor said his agency is recruiting temporary census workers to fill 19 openings with the bureau as it prepares for the 1980 Census. Taylor said these tem­ porary census workers will help prepare lists of county addresses for use during the census. The jobs will usually last three to four weeks and workers will be paid on a per-address collected basis. For an eight-hour day, the average worker will earn $27 to $30 plus 17 cents per mile for any driving done in a private vehicle. Applicants for the jobs must be 18 years old or over, be a U.S. citizen, have an automobile and pass a written test that will be given on Wednesday, July 11. To register for the exam, ap­ plicants must contact the Hastings MESC Job Service office by July 10. The work involves driving or walking to compile list of addresses of each dwelling unit in designated areas of Barry County. These ad­ dress lists will play a vital role in taking the 1980 Census. They will be used to produce mailing labels for the census questionnaire to be sent to each household in America on March 28, 1980. Then.'a few weeks following the April 1 Census Day, census officials will use the address lists to determine which households have not returned their completed questionnaires. Census takers must then be sent to each non-responding household to collect the information required on the census form. TheJ979 address collection activity in Barry County is part of a Census Bureau program involving 35,000 temporary workers nationwide to compile lists containg approximately 30 million addresses.

The movement might have made some tiny inroads in early Castleton Township society when, in the early 1900’s, twentysome ladies formed the Northeast Birthday Circle. The ladies’ leisure may have been the husbands’ burden, or so inferred one uniden­ tified man in a humorous account to the local newspaper. Members of the birthday circle all lived nortneast of Nashville in an area of three square miles bounded by Thornapple Lake Road on the south, Clark Road on the west, Bayne Road on the north, and Hager Road on the east. With a few ex­ ceptions, all the ladies lived on either Section 12,13, or 24 of the young township. (A large birthday circle was also formed in an adjacent rural area, northwest of the village). Mrs. Roy (Nina) Garlinger, a former area resident and Northeast Birthday Circle member now living in Grand Rapids, recalls that the ladies “met once a month at the home of the hostess, had a little program, and visited.” The ladies took ' turns being hostess for the monthly gatherings where light refreshments were served. Dues were small-ten cents a meeting as Mrs. Garlinger remembers-but together the pooled money purchased a lovely gift for each lady as she celebrated her birthday. One year Mrs. Garlinger received as her birthday gift from the circle a lovely silver-lated gravy ladle. The following year, the ladies surprised her with a minature matching crearh ladle. Both pieces are still in her family. Fellowship with one another was an im­ portant part of the early birthday circle, much as ladies’ clubs have ever been. But their “doings” were often a puzzlement to their husbands. Perhaps to ap­ pease them, the ladies arranged a bountiful potluck dinner once a year and in­ vited the menfolk to join the festivities. This was a husband-wife event (children never attended the gatherings) and the account of such royal treatment was duly reported in an early story submitted to the Nash­ ville News by a writer identifying himself only as “A Mere Male.” In his first paragraph, the husband-reporter makes it quite clear he feels the husbands have been slighted in the past, though he uses some rather inaccurate data to make his point (the circle met once a month, not every week or so; and dues were ten cents, not five, per meeting). “The men of East Castleton have for some time past thought they had a grievance, for about every week or so their wives would ask for a horse and a half­ day off, besides drawing on the family purse for five cents, and had about made up their minds to declare a strike,” he lamented. “But, oh joy! the trouble is over, The ladies, sensing what was coming, invited the men to share one of their birthday parties at Roy Garlinger’s last Friday night,” continued the writer. “Forty-seven responded to the invitation, and to say we had a fine time-well, just listen. They started in rather light, letting us men talk about anything we wanted to, but it was not long until we were being entertained by Miss Ethel Feighner at the piano; Miss Minta Austin also gave us music, both instrumental and vocal.” “Then some games in which the men showed their ability as impromptu speech-makers, also showed the women how to handle clothespins.” The reader wonders what sort of charades these may have been, but the writer does not elaborate. Instead he speaks of the food. “Then came supper, and such a supper! George Austin stalled on the four­ teenth piece of cake, but then you must remember he had just finished eating escalloped potatoes, baked beans, sandwiches (any number of them you wan­ ted) , pickles, fruit salad and coffee. Some coffee too, the writer knows for he had four cups.”.“Is it any wonder ‘Ben’ stalled on the cake?” queried the reporter, adding, “Elmer Mater says he didn’t know there were so many good cooks in the neigh­ borhood.” In closing, the husband­ reporter indicated the slate had been wiped clean of any real or imagined slights to the menfolk: “Well, after eating such a supper as that, it was all that we could do to get home and sleep it off. But we did manage to give the women three rousing cheers and allow they would never hear us kick again.” With husbands finally included in the festivities, the "trouble" was over. East Castleton men were royally entertained at the Roy Garlinger home on Thornapple Lake Road when their wives, members of the Northeast Birthday Circle, fed them a bountiful potluck dinner at a special meeting. Roy's wife, Nina, was a club member. At left, in this 1912 photo of the Garlinger home, is Roy with his 3-yearold daughter, Madeline. On the right is his brother, Freel, with the family dog, "Tige". (Now living in the home is the Roy Garlinger’s granddaughter and family, Lorna and Earl Wilson and son). (Photo loaned, courtesy Mr. and Mrs. Lorin Garlinger) The ladies of the Northwest Birthday Circle were good cooks, their menfolk conceded, though one reporterhusband claimed the men of East Castleton "had a grievance, for about every week or so their wives would ask for a horse and half-day off."

By Margaret Ann Ross, Extension Home Economist Try these tips for saving gasoline to help the family budget. Include one or more of the following tips each week, suggests Eaton Extension Home Economist Ann Ross, and make your goal in terms of “gallons saved.” 1 - Carpool with others in your neighborhood. Take your turn, too. 2 - Shop and do errands during non-rush hours to avoid being caught in traffic. 3 - Try to one-stop shop at a multi-service shopping center close to home. 4 - Use the telephone as a shopping tool to locate goods or services. 5 - Make shopping lists to avoid having to make an extra trip for a forgotten item. 6 - Ifpossible, walk, bike, or take a bus. 7 - If you’re involved in a group activity, invite others to share the ride. 8 - If there is more than one car in the family, use the most fuel-efficient one as often as possible. 9 - Make sure your automobile engine is tuned. Studies show proper tuning can improve mileage per gallon by as much as 15 percent. 10 - Avoid using automobile air conditioning, one of the largest gas-guzzling options. Open windows and use the air vents instead. 11 - Set an example for other family members who may not be as gallon-conscious.

Poison ivy is no more an ivy, like Boston ivy and English ivy, than poison oak is an oak. Both are members of the sumac family, which also includes the common staghorn sumac; poison sumac; and pistachio, cashew and mango trees. Q. I have some leftover vegetable seeds. What’s the best way to store them so they’ll still be good next year? A. Store in a tightly sealed jar in a cool, dry location. A comer ofyour refrigerator is ideal. Q. What’s the best time to prune everbearing rasp­ berries? If you can try to prune out the canes after they bear in the early summer, the new ones coming up to bear the fall crop are in the way. A. One approach is to cut the entire plant back to the ground in the spring. By doing this, you sacrifice the spring crop, which usually doesn’t amount to much anyway, and harvest a good fall crop. This approach also simplifies pruning. Q. When you’re starting a compost pile is it necessary to “seed” it with biological agents to speed composting?

A. No. If you mix together plant materials and topsoil and provide the organisms with water and a little nitrogen fertilizer, your compost pile will be biologically active without any other additives. Q. I don’t have a very big strawberry patch, so I can’t afford to feed all the neighborhood birds out of it. What’s the best way to keep them out so I get to do the harvesting? A. Especially for a small patch, bird netting is probably your best bet. It’s fairly inexpensive and tough - it’ll last several seasons. Suspended on stakes so that it doesn’t rest directly on the berries, and draped onto the ground so that the birds can’t walk under it, netting should do the job for you. Q. I want to try caging my tomatoes this year to get the fruit up off the ground so I don’t have so much ground rot and slug damage to fruits. Whaf, kind of material should I use for the cages? A. Concrete reinforcing wire is usually recommended, but woven wire fencing can be used, too, and it may be easier to find. Just make sure that the openings in the mesh are big enough to reach through easily. If you have to reach in from the top, harvesting the fruits toward the bottom of the plant can be a strain. Q. What do I do with my strawberry patch after I harvest the berries? A. You can plow it up for replanting the following spring. Or, if plants are healthy and vigorous and relatively free of insects, weeds and diseases, you can renew it for another season. Begin as soon as possible after harvest by mowing the foliage to one and one-half inches above the plant crowns. Use a cultivator or hoe to narrow the rows to 10 to 12 inches and thin the plants, leaving only the most healthy and vigorous. Treat those that remain like a newly planted bed: water, fertilize and control weeds throughout the 'summer.

Eaton County youth attend milk marketing tour By Nancy Diuble, Extension 4-H Youth Agent Two Eaton County 4-H dairy members, Mike McGuire from Olivet and Tom Johnson from Charlotte, attended the 1979 Michigan Milk Producers Association 42nd Annual Milk Marketing Tour. The tour, held June 18 and 19 in Detroit, is one of the oldest and most informative 4-H agricultural education programs in Michigan. ' Mike and Tom were selected to join the 4-H members from across Michigan learn more about milk marketing and career opportunities and meet some of the Michigan dairy industry leaders. At the end of the tour, the participants were quizzed about their milk marketing knowledge and seven (7) of them will eventually be selected to attend the National 4-H Dairy Conference in Madkson, Wisconson. The Eaton County delegates were accompanied by Mrs. Mary McGuire from Olivet and John Baer, Extension Agricultural Agent. The entire tour was sponsored through the courtesy of Michigan Milk Producers Association. A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative Safety Steps - Governor Milliken is taking all possible steps to avoid serious effects to Michigan citizens from the nationwide truckers’ strike including police escorts for fuel tankers. However, the main issues involved must be dealt with at the federal level. Budget Work - Both houses of the legislature continue to meet for long daily sessions in an effort to approve an many of the 1979-80 budget bills as possible before the scheduled summer recess date of July 14. Medicaid Cut? - The U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare has announced Michigan will lose $53.7 million in Medicaid and ADC funds July 1 under present plans. A court fight is expected; other states are losing funds too. Local Bonanza - Governor Milliken has recommended an additional $40 million in the 1979-80 budget for local governments. This is required under the Headlee Amend­ ment, since the state equalized valuation for last year was higher than expected, resulting in lower school aid requirements. All the savings therefrom must be passed on to local governments. Track Record - The Michigan Department of Transportation has reported that more people are using state Amtrak services than ever before, with more railcars being added all the time. Memorial Day traffic on the Port HuronChicago run was up 63 percent over the same time in 1978. Crime Survey - A recent statewide survey conducted for the Commission on Criminal Justice reported these findings : 65 percent of the people support the death penalty for first degree murder, kidnapping or terrorism; 50 percent support reducing penalties for personal use of marijuana; 60 percent support repeal of certain juvenile crimes; only 37 percent would favor a ban on bandguns. Disabled Benefits - The Governor has signed into law HB 4030, which protects the unemployment benefits of people who are disabled for long periods of time, by making a benefit claim be based on the entire 52 weeks preceding the time a disability occured. Job Saver-A five-year review has shown that 1974’s Plant Rehabilitation and Industrial Development Act has helped generate 62,000 new jobs and has saved more than 70,000 existing jobs in Michigan. This law allows communities to grant tax breaks to manufacturers willing to renovate obsolete facilities or to build new ones. Prime Gripe - The Consumers Council has reported that cars and car repairs are the single most-mentioned com­ plaint received through its “Consumers Hotline.” Other problems mentioned often were household merchandise, landlord-tenant trouble and builder-contractor projects.

Possible EPA Grant would offer Nashville’s sewer expansion Nashville may receive word from Washington, D.C. during the first week of July on a 3.3 million dollar federal grant from the En­ vironmental Protection Agency to help expand the village’s present sewer system, officials learned at Thursday’s council meeting. Bruce Kuffer of Williams and Works of Grand Rapids, project engineers, was present at Thursday’s meeting to discuss the project status with the council. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is also expected to grant $221,000 for the sewer expansion which will include extended collection lines, lift stations, and new waste water treatment facility. Latest estimates place the project cost at 4.8 million after village officials decided in early June to delete 1214,000 in grantineligible main line sewers into sparsely populated residential areas. Only 17 homes were affected by this action. Current cost estimates set the local share of the project at about 1.2 million. In related action Thur­ sday, the council agreed to establish an initial charge of |l,200 for each of the 183 homes served by the new system. There are 483 homes on existing lines, constructed primarily in 1909. In some areas Nashville’s present sewer system allows raw sewage to flow directly into Thornapple River and Quaker Brook which run through the village. Nashville has been under order from Michigan’s D.N.R. to improve their wastewater treatment facilities since 1968 but repeated changes in government regulations and a temporary shut-off of federal grant monies have hampered the village’s earlier efforts to comply. In other business, the council approved resur­ facing of Sherman Street, from East Street to Curtis Road, at the cost of 119,800 of Major Street Act 51 monies received from the state. The Sherman Street project will be completed this summer along with resurfacing of Middle and Cleveland Streets and blacktopping a business district parking lot, a $45,950 job approved by the council in early June. About two-thirds of that paving project will be paid with federal revenue sharing funds. The Nashville council agreed to offer to terminate the village’s present pension plan and implement Idividual Retirement Ac­ counts if the majority of village employees approve. Under the IRA plan, deemed more economical and simpler to administrate, the village would contribute a yearly retirement sum of $650 for each employee over age 40, and $500 for each employee under 40. The village would also furnish $10,000 term life insurance for ail employees. Discussion but no action covered a variety of other employee-related subjects Hayes-Green-Beach Memorial Hospital accredited by Joint Commission — Hayes-Green-Beach Memorial Hospital has been awarded the Certificate of Accreditation by the Joint Commission on Ac­ creditation of Hospitals (JCASH), according to Darwin Finkbeiner, Ad­ ministrator. The two-year accreditation became ef­ fective on June 18, 1979. The accreditation was achieved following a thorough survey of. the hospital by a professional survey team of the Joint Commission’s Hospital Accreditation Program (HAP). The hospital was evaluated on the basis of information gained from questionaires, other documentation, and an on-site visit, which includes conferences with Cont. on pg. 5 — Thursday including establishment of employment procedure guidelines, written job descriptions for all village employees, and probationary employment periods. Village compliance with Michigan’s Safe Drinking Water Act was also discussed by officials who must submit general and contingency plans to the state by January 1, 1980. 68 Vermontville homes participate in block parent program to offer child protection Vermontville’s Block Parent Program is well underway with 68 homes displaying the emblem of a black house in their win­ dows. The emblem serves as an identification device to designate to children that the home is a place where they may go to seek help in the event of an emergency when they are traveling to and from school. That’s essentially what the Block Program is all about. Its purpose is to provide children with a source of help in emergencies. It is intended especially to assure the security of children. The key to the success of the plan are the Block Parent’s homes. These The plan can be compared homes, located on each street' in the school com- to an insurance policy — it is nity, serve as havens for there if the need should children of any age who are arise, but hopefully will not in need of emergency help.

Molly Turner is the new minister of the United Methodist Church in Vermontville, the first woman to serve in that capacity in the church’s history. Mrs. Turner delivered her first sermon Sunday at the Vermontville church and also at the Gresham Church where she also will be ministering. There are two Rev. Tur­ ners in the household. Mrs. Turner’s husband, Arthur, also is a minister at Potter Park United Methodist Church in Lansing. The couple will be residing at his church’s parsonage in Lansing with their four-yearold daughter, Alicia, and Mrs. Turner will be com­ muting back and forth to this area. She said she will be in Vermontville most days in the week and will be keeping office hours at the parsonage there. No definite schedule has been set yet because that will depend on what days are best for the people and the church, she said. Mrs. Turner was formerly associate minister of Mt. Hope United Methodist Church in Lansing for three years. Previously, she and her husband shared the duties of ministering for the MantonFife Lake-Boardsman’s Parish from 1971-76. Women in the ministry are becoming more and more common, Rev. Turner relates. Seminary enrollments are averaging about 30 per cent women now, she said. A native of Jackson, she received her bachelor of arts degree from Kalamazoo College and a master of divinity degree from Garrett Evangelical in Evanston, Illinois. On the west side of the state, in the United Mehtodist Conference, there are 13 fully ordained ministers. As a woman minister, Rev. Turner says, “I’ve never had any trouble, and I don’t expect to have any. “I’m really impressed with Vermontville. The people have been so positive, so friendly and very nice. “I really enjoy preaching very much and I really enjoy being with people. I’m looking forward to meeting people in the community as well as in the church,” said Rev. Turner. When her husband is available, he plans to join her for potlucks and activities at the Vermontville Church. The couple’s hobbies are very family oriented, she said. In the summer, they look forward to family picnics and, in the winter, enjoy cross-country skiing together. On Sunday morning, she will be preaching at two services. At 9:30 a m. she will be delivering a sermon at the Gresham Church and at 11:00 she will preach at the United Methodist Church in Vermontville. Rev. Molly Turner is the new minister of the United Methodist Church in Vermontville, the first woman to serve in that capacity at the church. �The Maple Volley News, Nashville, Monday) July 2. 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Nashville has no special observance planned for the Fourth but there will be a few minutes of excitement bet­ ween 5:23 and 5:30 p.m. when a contingent of jets from Selfridge Air Force Base at Mt. Clemens zooms over our village at low altitude. Notification of the performance was received in a communication to Village President Harold Christiansen last week. The convoy of planes will approach Nashville from .the southwest, headed in a northeasterly direction. Flown by Civilian Air Cadets as part of low altitude navagational training, the aircraft will specifically select small communities to cross in their flight pattern in an attempt to show citizens of Michigan their tax dollars at work, the letter to Christiansen said. The only other planned activity on July 4th will be a special afternoon and evening performance at Sandyland Park. If the flight contingent crosses on schedule, it will occur during the break between the 1:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. shows. Bill Miller, a former Barry County Sheriff’s deputy and employee of Norton’s Security Service, has been tem­ porarily employed by Nashville as a substitute police of­ ficer. He was on duty last week to fill in during Sgt. Koetje’s vacation. Members of Nashville’s newly-formed Public Information Committee, designed to explain the proposed new sewer project to local residents, will soon be contacting com­ munity organizations to plan presentation meetings. Anyone wishing more information on the program may contact committee chairman Lonny Kienutske. Other members of the committee are Nelson Brumm, Ray Hinckley, Tom Oleson, and Bart Bracy. Super star Conway Twitty, while appearing here at Sandyland Park June 24th, proved the old adage: “the bigger the star, the nicer they are.” During a hectic 45­ minute autograph signing session following Twitty’s af­ ternoon performance, it became apparent that three crip­ pled children from Grand Rapids would never be able to Super Special TENNIS SHOES Assorted styles and colors SIZES: Infants 8 thru Mens 12 ONE LOW PRICE *2.99 Lowest Price in Years!

Fans clustered around the stage platform, and trailed in a lengthy line back up the bleacher hillside. The three youngsters had sat in the front row during Twitty’s show and longed to have the entertainer’s autograph, but when the crowd mobbed around the star after his final song the children gave up on their hopes. Leaving the park in the family’s travel trailer with thenparents seemed to be their only alternative. The vehicle was nearly ready to depart when park owner Sandy Salyers learned of the situation and alerted Twitty’s manager. As soon as the problem was brought to Twitty’s attention, he immediately went aboard the family’s van to personally speak with three delighted youngsters and present them with the prized signature. The gas shortage had no effect on the crowd that flocked to Sandyland for Twitty’s performance. Folks came from miles around to fill the bleacher seats and dot the hillside with colorful lawn chairs and sun umbrellas. One Grand Rapids couple, new to our area, accidentally got into the traffic line to Charlton Park’s Bluegrass Festival and spent several minutes in line before realizing at the ticket booth they were not at Sandyland. Park personnel gave them directions to Nashville and they arrived in time for Twitty’s first show despite the side-tracking. Excitement filled the air Wednesday as the circus came to town. Youngsters were delighted with the antics of elephants and aerialists and took their grandparents along to share the fun. The 2-ring circus drew good-sized crowds to both the afternoon and evening shows staged on the old ball field west of Main Street. A free menagerie, including a lion, tigers, a leopard, Siberian bear, and monkeys, also at­ tracted much attention outside the big top. Mrs. Helen Furlong of Nashville is home and improved following recent hospitalization in Flint. She had suffered a heart attack while driving home from Pinconning and was admitted to the Cardiac Unit at Me Laren Hospital there, but is making a good recovery. Celebration of the 14th birthday of two cousins, Julie Michelle Murphy and Scot Casterline, grandchildren of Mr. and Mrs. Nate Sheldon of Nashville, was the highlight of a recent weekend gathering of the Sheldon family at Ludington. Hosting the affair were the Sheldon’s son and his wife, Jim and Lori Sheldon. Attending the event, in additiion to Nate and La Duska, were Howard and Natalie Casterline and sons Brian and Scot of Assyria; Gary and Paula Kimble and Julie Michelle Murphy of Morrison Lake; and Julie Ellen Sheldon ofNashville, The menfolk tried their luck fishing on Lake Michigan and some of the family enjoyed watching a gymnasts’ competition staged in a Ludington park. The weather was sunny but chilly enough that the contestants wrapped in blankets between performances. A very welcome visitor at the Hal Phenix home in Nash­ ville is Vallita Lawwill of Chula Vista, California. The young lady, who will be a freshman in high school this fall, once lived here with the Phenix family and attended school in Nashville until the third grade. She and a friend, Dana Ganboeck, flew into petroit on June 16 and will be in Michigan until August 16. Mr. and Mrs. Walt (Betty) Blakely of Nashville has as recent weekend visitors Mr. and Mrs. Clayton Blakely of Apache Junction, Arizona. Clayton and Walt are brothers. The Clayton Blakelys are in Michigan for the summer, spending most of their time at Sterling Heights. Don Joseph of Carl’s Market is recovering very well from recent surgery on his left shoulder. Don was confined, to Sparrow Hospital in Lansing for five days. Released Saturday, he was back in the store on Tuesday though he probably should have been home resting. Instead, the in­ dustrious store owner was busy sacking groceries with one arm. Recent Sunday callers at the home of Mrs. Elsie Cogswell of Nashville were Mrs. Clara Gillispie and Mrs. Ruth Barney, both of Hastings. Mrs. Gladys Histead was able to return to the Nashville Senior Citizens Site last Monday, the first time since returning home after recent surgery at Pennock Hospital. She had been hospitalized one week but is now recovering very well. A stiffened ordinance governing use of village parks is currently under consideration by local officials and may be adopted by the council within the next few weeks. Congratulations to Rev. and Mrs. E.F. Rhoades who will celebrate sixty years of marriage at a Sunday afternoon open house at the Nashville United Methodist Church. The Rhoades were actually married in January 1919, but observe the occasion in July’s warmer weather. Incidentally, Rev. Rhoades will also be celebrating his 90th birthday the same day, July 8, and Mrs. Roades’ birthday also follows in the same week. Rev. Rhoades is a former pastor of the South Maple Grove United Methodist Church (previously Zion Evangelical United Brethem). He served there from 1927 until 1938, left to pastor elsewhere in Michigan, and returned in 1958 to again serve the South Maple Grove church until his retirement. Also noted for his woodworking talents, Rev. Rhoades constructed a half-inch scaled miniature of the 1887 church when he was 86 years old. In 1978 he donated it to the Putnam Public Library where it is now on display in the local history room along with Rhoades’ replicas of a skeletal and completed early-1900’s hip roofed barn. Built to “preserve something of the past”, they are excellent examples of period architecture. Rev. Rhoades’ talent also producted pulpits and communion tables for use in his churches throughout his long years of service. The suffering of early Christians, imprisoned in chains, was illustrated with modern day policeman’s handcuffs to children in Mrs. Amy Putnam’s 1st and 2nd grade vacation Bible school class at United Methodist Church last Tuesday. Sgt. Ronald McDonald of the Michigan State Police and Kendal Wilcox, corrections specialist at Michigan Refor­ matory, gave the demonstration to the wide-eyed youngsters who have been studying about Paul and Silas. (A complete story about the class appears elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News.

Several senior citizens have inquired about the postal foot­ carrier petition currently being circulated in Nashville, since our recent Maj>le Valley News story on the campaign to secure door-to-door mail delivery in Nashville. Helen Curtis, a member of the Nashville Village Council, currently has the original petition but after consulting with the village attorney is in the process of obtaining a legal petition from 3rd District Congressman Howard Wolpe. She has written a letter to Wolpe and enclosed a copy of the Maple Valley News story. When the new petition forms are secured, local citizens who signed the original informal tablet petition will be contacted to sign the new legal petition, if they desire. Scott and Julie, children of Sheryl (Johncock) West of Colorado Springs, Colorado arrived in Nashville last week to visit their grandmother, Mrs. Gloria Johncock, and other local relatives. The children will be spending several weeks in Michigan. A suspected drowning, reported to local law officials last Tuesday evening, led a crowd of onlookers to the North Main Street bridge but divers from the Barry County Sheriffs Department Rescue Unit turned up nothing. Difficulty in locating officers trained for underwater search delayed the diving operation until after 9:00 p.m. Darkening skies and murky waters of the Thomappie River hampered their efforts but a half-hour of diving and dragging turned up nothing in the suspected area. The search was made on the basis of a report from youngsters swimming in the river, who claimed they had touched something—like a body—in diving from the west side of the bridge, near the center piling. Officers checked again Wednesday morning with negative results. A recent trip to Portland, Oregon was a sort of family reunion for Mrs. Gayion (Marie) Fisher of Nashville. She was accompanied on the journey by her granddaughter, Mrs. Pam Lackey of Lake Odessa and Pam’s 17-month-old son, Chris. Marie enjoyed a two weeks visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Smith, former Nashville residents who moved to Oregon in 1952. In addition to the Smiths, Marie had an opportunity to visit her sisters and their families: Sharon and Gordon Helliwell of near Por­ tland, and Madelyn and Marion Davidson of southern Oregon. There were 18 present for a Father’s Day family gathering at the Helliwell home. Mrs. Fisher, Pam and baby Chris returned to Michigan last week. A tour of historic charlton Park will highlight the July 10 meeting of the Nashville Garden Club. A Wednesday noon potluck dinner at the park will proceed the tour. Members should bring a dish to pass, their own table service and drink. Kris Koetje, a 1979 MVHS graduate and daughter of the Eugene Koetjes, will soon start summer employment as a part-time office worker at Nashville’s village hall. The clerical duties will be a prelude to business studies Kris will undertake at Davenport Institute in Grand Rapids this fall. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Holden of rural Nashville on the birth of twins at Pennock Hospital, June 19th. Mrs. Holden, the former Marie Steward of Nashville, received her wish of “one of each”-a boy and a girl. She learned about a month ago that twins were on their way. Brian Cecil weighed 5 lbs. 15 ozs., but his sister Amy Sue topped him by half an ounce. Proud grandparents are Mrs. Cecil Steward of Nashville, and Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Holden, Sr. of Bellevue.

Friends of the class members are invited to stop by the hall later in the evening to visit and reminisce. Conveniently placed bicycle racks and strategically located signs have helped effect a recent ban on bike riding on Main Street sidewalks. Three local ladies were recently elected as part of the new slate of officers for the Barry County chapter of the Association of Retired School Personnel. The organization met last Wednesday for a noon dinner and business meeting at the United Methodist Church Community House in Nash­ ville. Elected as president was Mrs. Hilda Baas. Chosen for the post of 2nd vice-president co-worker was Mrs. Evelyn Mason; and Mrs. Reva Schantz was elected treasurer. Other officers were from throughout Barry County. Mrs. Baas was Birdena Lyttle ofDelton. The gavel was made five years ago by Fred Adolph, a former Delton school teacher and ARSP member. During the meeting, current legislation affecting retired school personnel was discussed. Entertainment was furnished by Lois Roush of Hastings, who spent 15 years in the Far East teaching children of military personnel.

The circus brings fun and thrills to Nashville Wednesday The circus brought a refreshing change of pace to Nashville from the moment it arrived in town Wednesday for its one-day stand. Residents watched the Circus Genoa crew hoist up the big top with the aid of trained elephants; browsed alongside the cages of the circus' wild animal managerie, and thrilled at a chance to hold a cup of food up to the elephants trunks. Inside the tent, billed as America's second-largest three-ring tent circus, crowds of all ages were entertained during the afternoon and evening performances by clowns, a live brass band, wire walkers, a juggler, acrobat and trapeze stars, aerialists, elephants, ponies, a llama, and more.

A local committee appointed to suggest possible uses of a potential >178,000 U.S. Housing and Urban Development Community Block Grant decided to scrap the bridge project in favor of plans they felt were more publicly acceptable and beneficial to the entire community. The HUD grant is primarily designed to benefit low and moderate income persons in the area comprised of the village of Nashville and the townships of Castleton and Maple Grove. “It appears if we went ahead with the bridge, public sentiment against it would lead to litigation,” com­ mented Justin Cooley, a member of the grant com­ mittee and Supervisor of Castleton Township in which the bridge is located. Proponents of the bridge project had sought 850,000 of the potential 8178,000 HUD community grant to add to federal and state grants which would have paid 90 percent of the 8192,000 construction costs of the bridge. The HUD monies would have been used as local funding to acquire right-of-way and build new bridge approaches. However, Kenneth Washington of Dearborn, owner of the property on which the right-of-way would be located, advised the committee by letter he would not voluntarily make the land available, citing a recent Michigan United Conservation Club on-site report which supported his stand. “He is not willing to sell,” Cooley told the com­ mittee, as he reported on a pre-meeting phone con­ versation with Washington. According to Jack Kineman, Barry County Road Commission engineer­ manager, the present iron truse bridge is on the state’s “critical bridges” list. It is considered too short, too narrow, and has been limited to seven tons load capacity. Opponents of the new bridge have cited what they consider the high cost of the new span for the low traffic volume on the sparsely populated county road. The grants committee suggested they could acquire the Washington property by condemnation proceedings, but rather than jeopardize the entire HUD grant by lengthy litigation they would “wash their hands of the entire bridge project ” After lengthy discussion of several alternative proposals, they chose to tentatively allocate funds from the potential grant, which received pre­ application approval in April, for a variety of community projects. Under the committee’s plan the combined NashvilleCastleton-Maple Grove ambulance department would receive $35,000 for a new structure to house the department. This amount also includes furnishings and an additional $18,000 was proposed for a new am­ bulance and equipment Putnam Public Library, also supported by all three governmental units, would receive $10,000 for im­ provements including a barrier-free entry, storm windows, and foundation repair. A community building to be built on South Durkee Street by Maple Grove Township, on land owned by them within Nashville village limits, would receive $50,000; the Riverside Recreational Development Corp, would be given $25,000 toward construction of a community recreational park in downtown Nashville; the combined local fire department would receive $6,000 for building im­ provements at the fire station; and $10,060 would help construct an asphalt bike and walk path along Reed Street to Carl's Market and also to the new com­ munity building on South Durkee In addition, $7500 was allocated for a professional downtown development plan and engineering survey; $1,200 designated to improve a road to historical Quaker Cemetery in Maple Grove Township; and $16,000 would aid low income families with sewer hookups to Nashville proposed new collection system and treatment facility. The HUD Block grant, if approved could also include $210,000 for low income housing rehabilitation in the community and $25,000 for county administration of the program. “We could do 35 homes straight out," Sylvia Dulaney, Barry County Grants Coordinator, told the committee Monday. “We do look at each home in­ dividually." Each qualified homeowner could receive certain im­ provements, totaling ap­ proximately $6,000. to his dwelling. That project could take two years to complete, Dulaney said. She advised the committee that a survey showed fortyfive percent of the Nashville community are considered low* or moderate income people. Dulaney will file the final HUD grant application, listing specific priority projects, by June 30. Serving on the local grant committee, chaired by Maple Grove Township Supervisor Ted McKelvey are: Justin Cooley, Castleton Township Supervisor; Harold Christiansen, Nash­ ville Village President; Albert Bell.

By Susan Hinckley Grand glorious ‘n celebration of the 4th of July began in Nashville well over 100 years ago but the first is not recorded, for the gala patriotic events predate regularly published news in the village. Just nine shortt months after 19-year-old Orno began Strong publication of the Nashville News in the autumn of 1873, he wrote of Nashville’s plans for the annual event. (A small advertising sheet called The Morning Star was published in the village in 1861 but the paper, edited by John Milton Roe, flourished but a short time). “Arrangements for Nashville’s grand 4th of July celebration are practically completed,” wrote Strong in late June 1874, his first year to cover the gala affair. Capt. L.C. Boise had been appointed Marshal of the Day and would be assisted by G. W. McCormick, F. M. Quick of Maple Grove, and Jesse Jordan of Woodland, the report noted. The following year, in 1875, Strong gave a detailed financial account in writing of a successful holiday observance. “E. R. White, treasurer of the 4th of July celebration committee, reports that $171.75, the whole amount collected from the merchants, was expended for the affair. Largest item was $63.60 for fireworks; the Cornet Band received $40; printing amounted to $72.50 and the rest went mainly for prizes.” But the next year, in 1876, Nashville witnessed the grandest patriotic celebration to date, as the USA observed the 100th year since the signing of the of InDeclaration dependence. Centennial Fourth of July arches were strung across Deadline Notice! During summer months display and want-ads deadline will be Sat. at 1 o'clock — Maple Valley News Main Street, and the spans decorated with evergreens and the national emblem. On the dawning Of the big day, Nashville was rousted with a 38-gun salute-one volley for every state of the Union. But the weather was somewhat less than perfect, at least to start the day. “The morning of the 4th opened gloomy and lowering enough,” observed Strong, “as the citizenry for miles around were awakened by the roar of cannon, ringing of bells and shriek of steam whistles.” Notwithstanding several morning showers, the streets were thronged with people when skies cleared for the morning parade headed by Feighner’s martial band, followed by 45 teams pulling “gorgeously decorated rigs.” “The car of the Goddess of Liberty, con­ taining 38 pretty ladies, representing the 38 states of the Union was a sight to behold,” noted Strong. An additional 150 teams joined the procession which ended with speeches and en­ tertainment. Estimates by “competent judges” set the crowd at 5,000 by mid-afternoon, which was close to twice the size of the crowd in Hastings at that time, the News claimed. Races and sporting events filled the day and in the evening there were fireworks, dances and general merriment. “Verily, it was a great day in Nashville,” concluded the News account of the village’s Centennial celebration. a URltll Simon Pharmacy ® PHONE 852-0845 NASHVILLE Theragran-M LE 130 Tablets Rea. ’6.98 OZ. tube ASPERCREME Reg. ’2.57 $C19 — — COUPON - ” — SALE... developing and printing II KODACOLOR FILM II II I 20 EXPOSURE O99I II COLOR PRINT FILM 12 EXPOSURE $199 j !■ Regular 4.99 I One roll per coupon JL -—“COUPON—— developing & printing mm $4 £ | Regular 31. .39 BBS Ono roll par coupon COUPON MUST ACCOMPANY ORDER Offer good thru July 9th COUPON MUST ACCOMPANY ORDER Offer good thru July 9th New Dry Cleaning Service « Dry Cleaning Pick-Up Station WILL PICK-UP AND DELIVER EVERY TUES. &THURS. ...AT APPROX. 5:00 P.M. — STORE HOURS — We are open Monday-Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; Sat. 9 to 1 PHARMACIST ALWAYS ON DUTY Patriotic themes prevailed in Nashville's early 4th of July parades which predated Decoration Day observances but, like them, ended with cemetery orations.

(Photo loaned, courtesy Mr. and Mrs. Lorin Lor Garlinger) 'A July 4th performance by strong man Prof. Merrill (in present-day Central Park) drew throngs to Main Street in 1906, but his feats did not equal the entertainment caused by mishap when four men climbed atop the McLaughlin Block (present-day Baby Bliss, left of stage in photo) to end Nashville's celebration in a spectacular, though unexpected, blaze of glory. Perhaps the success of the event explains the influx of people to Nashville for the following year’s celebration. “The 101st anniversary of American Independence was a grand ‘n glorious day in Nashville,” reported Strong. “We were awakened by the firing of guns and ringing of bells, and early in the morning people began coming from all directions.” The 7:45 train from the west was loaded with folks from Hastings and other points. Shortly after 9:00 a.m. the first Red Ribbon delegation, composed of 42 teams from Maple Grove, arrived in town. The Meadville and Castleton clubs arrived soon after, the later comprising 55 teams, each displaying colorful banners. Soon the entire company formed a giant parade, headed by the Cornet Band, and marched to the cemetery to listen to patriotic speeches-a sort of forerunner to Decoration Day. Two years later, an added Nashville attraction on the Fourth was a basebay game between the “Farmer Boys” of Maple Grove and the “Heavy Batters” of Woodland. Independence Day celebrations continued att a steady pace through 1880, when more than $300 was subscribed by local mer­ chants and others toward the event. “Nashville this year will have the greatest 4th of July celebration in the history of Barry County,” bragged Strong in late June. G.A. Truman had been chosen President of the Day and committees had been named tojook after various features of the gala affair. “There will be, among , otherg things, gs, no less than four bowery dances,” advised the News. Again, Strong was correct. An estimated 5,000 people packed Nashville for an exciting holiday filled with contests and games, in­ cluding foot races, horse racing and “such mirth­ provoking contests as a bun­ eating affair which was won by unnamed gentleman of African extraction believed to be from Battle Creek.” But another year passed and, by 1881, the spirit of the village seemed radically changed. “With Nashville for once laying aside the fatiguing and thankless task of promoting an Independence Day celebration, local residents for the most part spent the 4th at Thornapple _ Lake, where both Morgan and Thornapple offered special inducements,” Strong told his readers.

And a very special treat was noted: “At Thornapple, the steamer, "Gem”, was kept busy all day carring gay parties around the lake.” But there were a few problems to be faced. “Crowds at both places were larger than anticipated and by evening everything edible was gone and many were forced to go home to assuage their hunger.” Some 20 years passed and the village was still celebrating the holiday, enmasse, at Thornapple. July 1902: “There was nothing doing in Nashville on the Fourth. The streets were deserted...practically threefourths of the population appeared to be out at Thornapple Lake, enjoying the cool breezes, and excellent fishing.” July 1904: “Nashville will not have a celebration on the Fourth...there will be a general exodus from town to Thornapple Lake where there will be ball games and fireworks in the evening, in addition to boating, bathing and fishing throughout the day.” July 1905: “Nashville was quiet on the Fourth with what seemed like two-thirds of the town’s population at Thornapple Lake...” What inspired Nashville residents to again tackle the “fatiguing and thankless task” of staging their own celebrations is unknown but in 1906 the custom was revived with success: “Nashville’s 4th of July celebration was a hummer in every particular, with perfect weather and large crowds.

The air was full of commotion and red fire, and Mac and his boys took such places of safety as they could find behind chimneys and for two minutes dodged sky rockets. Many thought the building would be set on fire, but it was not, and no one was injured.” Nashville survived its holiday revival. sophomore Deanna Marks.

Marks broke the school discus throw record six times in the course of the season, then shattered the Tri-Central conference mark with a toss of 107 ft., 8 in. She missed the school hurdles record by one-tenth of a second. Girls track coach Michelle Skivera said Marks did well in post-season competition in several meets. She scored the only points for the Lions in the state regional mee,pacng sixth meet,placing sx in n thee d*scus throw. Marks was the only Maple Valley athlete, boy or girl, invited to the Honor Roll of Champions meet in Lansing where she placed eighth in the discus. Marks was also invited to the Detroit Free Press girls invitational meet where she was ranked 30th and placed 13th among 60 discus throwers. “Maple Valley will build on the talent of Marks and several talented sophomores and freshmen next year and we expect to be a powerhouse in conference competition,” coach Skivera said. Many families cannot tolerate open expressions of grief. They will say, For your own good, don't cry so much." Translated, it means, When you cry you upset me and I can't tolerate your grief." A grief counsellor will encourage the mourner to cry openly and to discuss any aspect of the deceased's life. This has a healing effect.

Corkwell, Clerk Handcuff demonstration add touch of reality to tots bible class Pint-sized wonder at the mechanics of handcuffs and law enforcement reflected in the faces of Mrs. Amy Putnam’s first and second grade vacation Bible schoolers at the United Methodist Church Wed­ nesday. Sgt Ronald McDonald of Michigan State Police, Hastings team post, and Kendal Wilcox, corrections specialist at the Michigan Reformatory in Ionia, were invited to visit the class to add reality to the children’s Bible study ofPaul and Silas, who were arrested and jailed for preaching Christianity. An earthquake freed the imprisoned men but they refused to flee, thus saving the life of their guard who was contemplating suicide because he feared punish- ment for their escape. In­prisoners stead, the befriended the guard and their devotion so impressed him and his family that they were converted to Christianity. Each of the 11 children present in Mrs. Putnam’s class had the opportunity to be handcuffed by Sgt. McDonald. “We don’t use handcuffs on boys and 'girls,” Mc­ Donald told the youngsters during the demonstration, “Mostly we use them on adults.” Wilcox explained the difference between chain-connected prison cuffs, which allow more arm movement, and standard policeman’s cuffs.

Day camping with Girl Scouts is popular because they go and come home each night, this gives even the 1st grade Brownies a camping experience without getting home-sick from the absence from home surroundings. Over-nights are held for the Juniors with a progression system used for other camp activities such as cooking and crafts and badge work. The campers come from Bellevue, Charlotte, Eaton Rapids, Olivet, Potterville and Vermontville, with all the camp staff being scoUt volunteers.

McDonald used the op­ portunity to explain the dangers of children playing with guns or bullets that may be in their homes. “Even a bullet alone, without a gun, can be dangerous,” McDonald told the wide-eyed youngsters. “If your Mommies of Daddies have guns or bullets at home you should never touch them.” Members of the class present for the event were William Gatchell, Steve Martin, Katie Smith, Jason Abendroth, Heidi Reese, Cara Spoelstra, David Nickel, Kris Hulsebos, Tim Bracy, Lisa Guy and Glen Gorodenski.

Felonious Firearms - The state Supreme Court has upheld our 1976 law which sets mandatory jail terms for carrying a gun while committing a felony. This reverses the Court of Appeals, which had held that the law was unconstitutional. Health Head - The Senate will vote this week to confirm Frank Ochberg as the new Director of the troubled Mental Health Department. He said he would like to see more patients deinstitutionalized and better relations with the public. Discharge Defeat - The Senate has defeated a rarely-used move to discharge a bill from committee. The bill in question was SB 157, which limits state funding for abor­ tions, but the vote was mainly on the issue of taking a bill away from a committee. Primary Prognosis r Because our present Presidential Primary procedures are in conflict with the Democrats’ national party rules, HB 4520 and SB 540 would require voters to state their party preference before voting; HB 4392 would abolish the Presidential Primary altogether. Governor Milliken has said he would prefer no primary to one requiring party declaration. I will oppose maintenance of our current presidential primary system. Loophole Lesgislation? - The Senate will soon vote on SB 460, which is drawn to implement the section of the Headlee Amendment which says the state must pay for all costs mandated to local governments. A local-government spokesman says the bill contains loopholes which allow increased local costs, contradicting the intent of the Headlee Amendment. I will support elimination of the loopholes. Searches Stripped - The House will soon vote on HB 4639, which defines and limits body-cavity searches and strip­ searches ofpeople who are arrested. Such searches could be conducted only on the belief that weapons or evidence are concealed; law enforcement officers or their employees who violate the restrictions could be charged with a misdameanor. Medical Marijuana - Now in the House is SB 185, which would allow the use of marijuana for cancer and glaucoma patients. The drug has been proven useful in controlling side effects of cancer chemotherapy and in reducing eye pressures of glaucoma, which can lead to blindness. Prison Proposals - The Corrections Commission has recommended 15 new prisons for the state, with five regional ones to be built in the near future. The Governor has proposed spending $404 million over the next several years for such prison construction. Sagging Spending - The Advisory Commission on In­ tergovernmental Relations reports that government spending as a percentage of gross national product appears to have peaked in 1975. But state and local taxes, and em­ ployee numbers, have increased faster than at the federal level. When you want results.. . . . give our classified department a call!

Husbands and guests are invited to attend the July 5th event The Nashville ambulance made no less than four illnessrelated runs last week, all resulting in hospital transport of the patients. Mr. and Mrs. Vere Robinson of Bellevue were honored on their 59th wedding anniversary with a recent Sunday dinner at the home of their daughter and son-in-law, Margaret and Clarence Reid of Nashville. Mrs. Esta Day of Nashville enjoyed Sunday dinner at Shranks recently when her family gathered in Battle Creek to honor the birthday of her daughter, Mrs. Phyllis Hoffman. Present at the event, in addition to Phyllis and her husband George, who live in Battle Creek, were Stewart and Janice Day of Hastings; Eldon and Wilma Day of Nashville; and Carl and Virginia Gasser of Battle Creek. Following the dinner, the family returned to the Hoffman home for cake and ice cream. Sunday dinner guests at the home of Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville were her friend, Mrs. Dorothy Vickers of Battle Creek, and Mrs. Vicker’s son, Robert Haughey of Kalamazoo. Dinner at Cornwell Turkey Farm near Marshall last Tuesday evening honored the recent birthday of Mrs. Clara Pennock of Nashville.

Mrs. Ray Pennock ofNashville, taken to Pennock Hospital by ambulance June 22, is reported improved though still confined at this writing. When our “Memories” feature in the Northeast Birthday Circle appeared in the Maple Valley News last week, Mrs. Royce (Roberta) De Mond did a double take-for a double reason. First, the “unidentified home” in the background of the group photo is her home (the De Monds live in a mobile home on the Gardner Road property but are restoring the house). Secondly-and most amazingly-only one day before the paper arrived Roberta had been rummaging through some old mementos and ran across the very same photo (she had no idea we were doing a story on the club). Imagine her astonishment to open the Maple Valley News Tuesday and see the identical photo she had chanced to find Monday. Roberta’s copy of the photo had been given to her by the late Ethel Snore, but only a few of the ladies were identified. The photo we used for publication was loaned by Nina Garlinger, a circle member and former local resident now of Grand Rapids. She was able to identify everyone in the picture. Mrs. De Mond was able to shed some light on the background of the home, which, at the time the 1915 photo was taken, belonged to the McClellands. Celeste Me Clelland was a circle member, shown in the picture. In 1932 Roberta’s father, Robert De Camp, purchased the property. The section of the home shown in the photo was the “well house”, Roberta remembers, and it was used as a summer kitchen. There, food was stored in large water tanks as a substitute for refrigeration. The water was then gravity-fed to outdoor troughs for the livestock. The Vic­ torian gingerbread trim is gone from the entryway, shown in the photo, but the colored glass windows have been preserved. Roberta recalls the farm earlier belonged to the Lockhart family. Incidentally, the circle still exists today under the name of “Good Cheer Birthday Club”, and Roberta is a member. Retired School personnel meeting heldThe Barry County Association Retired School Personnel met June 27 at Nashville Methodist Church, Nashville. A delicious miniature meat loaf dinner was served by the ladies of the Church to 70 members and guests. In respect to the celebrating of children the theme “International Year Child” Lois Roush presented her slides of her work over 8 years in Thailand, China; Japan and India.

Antique gasoline engines will be cranked into action this Saturday and Sunday, July 14 & 15, at Charlton Park’s eighth annual An­ tique Gasoline Engine Show. Stationary and traction engines will be on exhibit and operating equipment from 10-5 each day. The show illuminates the impact of the mechanical revolution of the late 19th century on rural America. That’s when horsepower generated by steam and gasoline engines took over from the four-footed kind, and America became the wonder of the industrial and agricultural worlds. Antique Antique engines engines will will be be operating equipment in­ cluding corn grinders and shelters, grist mills, buzz saws and drag saws. Wood shingles will be turned out with power provided . by a 1925 Baker Threshing Steam Engine. Several unique engines will be exhibited in the show. They include an 1897 Olds Flame Ignitor, designed by R.E. Olds of REO and Oldsmobile fame and a Rumely Oil-Pull Tractor built in Battle Creek by a company that became part of Allis-Chalmers. A fully restored 1935 D John Deere tractor will be on hand and an ancient 1916 Avery tractor will be running. It is one of the very few of this make still in operation. Gasoline power made life a little easier for the ladies at the turn of the century, too, as evidenced by the primitive washing machines that are part of the display. A Flea Market including a general line of housewares and crafts will be included in the show on Sunday. Daily events include a parade of antique tractors at 2:00 P.M., followed by a Quick-Start Competition, a Slow Race to determine which tractor can deliver power at the slowest speed and a thrilling Tractor­ Teeter-Totter contest. An obstacle race will also be held. All events occur in the environs of an authentic Michigan village of the late 19th century that has been re-constructed on the banks of the Thornapple River, just off Highway M-79 between Hastings and Nashville. Picnic and recreation areas are part of the complex. Admission to the all-day event is $2.00 for adults, fifty cents for children under 12 and preschoolers are free. Charlton Park is a unique complex and truly at its best when the old village comes to life, awakened by the pop­ pops, put-puts and roars that propelled the country into unrivaled productivity less than a century ago. Antique tractors will parade around the village at 2:00 p.m. this Saturday and Sunday, July 14 & 15 at Chariton Park's eighth annual Anitque Gasoline Engine Show. The event, which runs from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day, features antique engines operating old farm equipment such as corn grinders and shelters, grist mills, buzz saws and drag saws. Charlton Park, including a reconstructed nineteenth century rural village, is located bewteen Hastings and Nashville, off M-79. �Th» MopW Volley New* No»hv»Ue. Wednetdoy July 11. 1V79 — Poo* 2 Nashville News Construction at Nashville’s long-awaited business district parking lot got underway last Thursday when heavy equipment began grading the strip west of the Main Street stores, from Washington to near Sherman Street. Traffic was routed away from the area and several more-or-less abandonded autos had to be towed from the scene so work ccom lomId begin. Duane Hamilton has the job of grading and leveling the lot. The old asphalt topping, blotchy and full of potholes, was tom out in the. operation and a new blacktopped surface will be applied by Rietb-Riley Construction of Battle Creek. Village officials expect the parking lot job to be completed this summer at the same time Cleveland, Middle, and the east end of Sherman Street are recapped. Pale mustard-colored paint is brightening the extenor of the new “old-fashioned general store” being created on Nashville’s Main Street by Hastings attorney David Dim­ mers. The enterprise, located in the former Johnson Warehouse building south of the bank, will house Dimmers’ collection of antique stare fixtures. When the restoration iss completed, merchandise typical of an early general store win be offered for sale-with the store open a limited number of hours at first. The busy lawyer and his family are doing the restoration work themselves, mostly evenings and weekends. Recent Sunday callers at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Tegel of Nashville were Mr. and Mrs. Jay Smith of Fulton. Visiting last week at the home of Mrs. Esther Buckley of Nashville was her sister, Mrs. Grace Moored of Climax. Enjoying 4th of July horse racing at the Lake Odessa Fair were Mrs. Esther Buckley, Mrs. Grace Moored, Mrs. Viola Beystrum and her sister, Mrs. Edna McConnell, a former village resident now of Battle Creek. Brian Beystrum of Lancaster, California is spending the summer in Nashville with his grandmother, Mrs. Viola Beystrum. The recent Kalamazoo Klassic, a 10,000 meter run, drew several Nashville entrants when members of the local “Open Bible Running Club” participated in the event. Don Roscoe, assistant pastor at Nashville Baptist Church and founder of the running club, finished in place 146 among 600 competitors. Roscoe’s time was 40 minutes and 58 seconds. The Open Bible Running Club is currently meeting each Saturday at 9:00 a.m. at the Nashville Baptist Church. The club, now comprised of fifteen members, is open to any area Christians interested in running or jogging, and both men and women are welcome to join. The next competition slated for the club is the Water Carnival 10,000 Race, set for July 14, at Three Rivers. Mrs. Betty Guy and two children of Battle Creek were houseguests last week of Mrs. Veda Guy of Nashville.

Mrs. Herbert (Phyllis) Frith of Nashville returned home last Thursday from Pennock Hospital, where she had recently undergone surgery, and is recovering well. The Council on Ministries of the United Methodist Church will meet at 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, July 17, followed by 8:00 p.m. meeting of the Administrative Board. Both meetings will be at the church.

The village DPW crew had the north side of Sherman Street, between Cleveland and Lentz, pretty well torn up last week to install a storm sewer line. It is hoped the new line will help alleviate deterioration of the roadway caused by the lack of such a drain in that area. Mrs. Fred (Marguerite) Ackett of Nashville is pleased to announce the arrival of a new great-grandson, bom June 29 to Mr. and Mrs. Byron Satterly of Sterling Heights. Byron is Mrs. Ackett’s grandson. The new baby, who weighed in at 9 lbs. 3 ozs., has been named Brent Byron. Thursday’s sunny skies and mild temperatures provided a perfect day for members of the Cloverleaf Class of the United Methodist Church to meet for a potluck dinner at Putnam Park. “Standpipe hill” in Putnam Park has been swept clean of brush by five boys employed by the CETA Summer Youth program, and working under the direction of Harold Christiansen, village president and volunteer park caretaker. An immense amount of undergrowth has been cut and cleared from the area, leaving the hillside in a condition somewhat reminiscent ofNashville’s earlier years when tiie hill was sparsely dotted with small saplings. Now, of course, the trees have grown tall and spread con­ siderably, but it is pleasant to be able to walk the hillside again. While the young men employed under CETA were busy cleaning the hillside and doing a variety of other tasks at the park, three young ladies hired for the village under the same program were also busy on various projects. Tuesday, the girls gave the shrubbery surrounding Putnam Library a much-needed trim job. The decision on whether the 1892 water tower in Putnam Park will utimately be demolished is still in the hands of the village council, and hinges on allocation of funds for the immense undertaking. The old standpipe, long considered a Nashville landmark, has been standing empty since van­ dalism early this year left the 84,000 gallon tank empty and in potential hazard of collapse due to the deteriorated condition of its concrete and stone foundation. The Golden Agers of the United Methodist Church will meet Friday, July 13, for a noon potluck dinner at the United Methodist Church Community House. Condolences to the family of Mrs. Carl (Ada) Gillons of Hastings, who passed away last Monday at Pennock Hospital. Local survivors include her daughter, Mrs. Leah Phillips of rural Nashville, and her granddaughter, Mrs. Richard (Lois) Elliston of the village, and great­ grandchildren. Mrs. Gillons passed away just two days after the wedding of her great-granddaughter, Cheryl Elliston to Johnny Hartwell on Saturday, June 30. She was unable to attend the ceremony due to failing health. The Elliston-Hartwell nuptials were solemnized at the Nashville United Methodist Church in a lovely setting decorated in blue and white, a color theme which also prevailed at a large reception held at the local V.F.W. Hall following the afternoon ceremony. An attractive and most unusual wedding cake, made by the bride’s mother, highlighted the event. Standing more than three feet tall, the 3-tiered center cake was supported on columns over a miniature blue fountain. On either side of the large cake were smaller 2-tiered cakes, also columned supported, with miniature stairways arching to the center cake. Posed on one flight of the stairs were miniature bridesmaids gowned in blue and, on the other, blue-suited groomsmen. All ap- By Susan Hinckley peared to be ascending toward a miniature bride and groom topping the large cake. Mrs. Elliston spent more than 12 hours decorating the masterpiece, which was also festooned with lacy filigree, miniature doves, and wedding rings. (This is not counting time required to prepare and bake the cake.) Incidentally, she also found time to sew many of the garments worn by the honor attendants at her daughter s wedding. Jul.y 16th, the Nominating Committee of the United On July Methodist Church will meet at 7:00 p.m. at the parsonage to line up officers for the new 1980 church year. Karen Gardner of Nashville and Richard Mallison of Hastings were united in marriage Saturday afternoon, July 7, at the home of the bride’s parents. She is the daughter of Duane and Janet Gardner of Guy Road. Also to be married in a home ceremony, set for Saturday the 21st, are Mark Barton and Anne Dressel, both of Nashville. The 5 p.m. wedding will take place at the home of the groom’s parents, the Melvin Bartons of S. Clark Road. Bored youngsters may find happiness and enlightenment at the weekly “Children’s Story Hour" which starts today, July 10, and continues through July 31. Between the hour of 10:30 and 11:30 a.m. each Tuesday morning, the children will be treated to films, story telling, and games, all based on the t theme “Mysteries.” The youngsters will be divided into three age groups under the direction of Mrs. Merry Lee Ossenheimer.

College-aged youths from the Nashville Baptist Church have formed a new class, called “Wisdom in Truth”, which meets at 6:00 p.m. every Sunday evening at the church. A variety of activities is planned by the young adultss throughout the summer and fall months. On July 14, the class has slated a “Tom Sawyer Day” at Charlton Park, for a time t of games, good food and fellowship. The class is open to any young Christian adults in the area, between the ages of 18-25, and more information can be obtained by attending a meeting of the group. Senior high youths of the Nashville Baptist Church are looking forward to a July 20th through 22nd weekend of camping and canoeing near Grayling. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Friddle of rural Nashville enjoyed attending the June 30th wedding of grandson David Friddle of Nashville to Linda Meyers of Lansing. The Saturday afternoon ceremony, held in the 1885 Carlton Center Church at Charlton Park, was followed by a reception at the Maple Leaf Grange near Nashville. The Friddle-Meyers nuptials at the historic church at Charlton Park had extra special meaning to the groom, son of the Paul Friddles of Cloverdale Road. David’s great­ grandfather, the late Samuel White, was superintendant of the church when it sat on its original site near Charlton Center. And his grandfather, the late Clare White, was baptized in the church at that location. The structure was moved intact to the park in 1972 and restored as a typical rural church of the late 19th century. Originally a Methodist Church, it is now non-denominational. Home for two weeks, for the wedding of her brother, was Martha Friddle of Missoula, Montanna. She is a missionary at the Rocky Mountain Bible Mission there. The wedding of their son, Jerrald Reid to Kay Pant of Nashville, also kept Clarence and Margaret Reid busy the weekend proceeding the Fourth. Friday evening, Margaret and Mrs. Jean Reid hosted a grocery shower for the bride at the Clarence Reid home.

Changes in the economy affect the amount of money you have, the cost and availability of goods and services you buy, as well as where and how you live. Do you expect and plan for change? To deal with the present and plan for the future, you need to understand changes taking place, and how they affect you. Then you need to determine how to live with change. Beginning in September, Eaton County Extension Family Living will become a new resource for small groups (existing or new-family or neighborhood) who want to be better informed consumers living with change. To register your group (neighborhood, family, church, PTA, young mothers, singles or other groups of five or more people) call Ann Ross 543-2310.

However, the later years need not be unpleasant, according to the author of three newly released Ex­ tension publications by Anne K. Soderman, of MSU’s Dept, of Family and Child Sciences. Maintaining independence, adjusting to retirement and coping with loss in the later years are described in the series. The author says that in­ dependence is related to financial security, alter­ natives in housing and transportation, health care and available community services. It is also related to attitudes about exercising control in those important areas. When people feel they are independent and in control of their lives, they feel good about themselves they have high self-esteem. There are ways to guard against “retirement shock.” This is the loss-of self-esteem some people experience when they give up their work roles and find they cannot handle the leisure time on Phone 945-9554 for ACTION ADS their hands. In talking about coping with loss, Soderman describes common stages in the grief process and lists ways people can deal with their own losses and help others deal with grief.

Boise’s Drug Store (presentday Simon Pharmacy) and became the earliest of a multitude of healing medications dispensed from what is now Nashville’s oldest continuous business in the same location. “Put a teaspoonful in a wine glass full of water and use as a gargle every 2-3 hours,” instructed an Oc­ tober 26, 1885 order now preserved in an early scrapbook file at the phar­ macy. Annotated as the 16th order filled at the new store, the presciption cost the sum of 25 cents. Legible ingredients included tincture of feric chloride, potassium chloride and zinc sulfate diluted with distilled water. Most of the early prescriptions were written by Dr. Goucher. (There were two colorful doctors named Goucher in Nashville’s past. The elder, C.W., held forth as a physician in Maple Grove, though he could scarcely read or write, according to memories of the late Lew Lentz reported in a 1948 issue of the Nashville News. “Young Joe (J.T.) Goucher was more of a doctor than his father, having gone away to medical school,” noted that report. Lentz remembered him as a “Likeable fellow, rather a hard drinker with a roving eye,” continued the News story which recounted young Goucher’s con­ troversial 1888 trial and conviction on charges he attempted to rob a grave at Barryville, and his sub­ sequent sentence to a year of hard labor at Jackson State Prison. A few years before Goucher’s sad fate, Freel Boise-who had built his brick drug store with a false second story front so he could claim Nashville’s tallest Main Street building- Von W. Furniss and Ralph Foote. “Furniss is a phar­ macist and Foote an expert watchmaker,” the report noted. But within a few months Foote was dead, leaving Furniss sole proprietor. But business continued to thrive under his direction. “Vdn W. Furniss has rented from Mrs. O.M.

By that time, Wotring’s health had failed. “H.D. Wotring, who has owned and operated the Rexall Drug Store the past ten years, has made a deal whereby Von W. Furniss again becomes owner of the business,” noted the News in November 1926.. During Wotring’s tenure a high school student named Adolph Douse, Jr. had joined the firm as an employee.

Story by Susan Hinckley Area counties included in senior citizen survey •During the month of July, local providers of services for senior citizens will be conducting a survey of senior citizens in a five county region: Barry, Branch, Calhoun, Kalamazoo, and St. Joseph counties. The survey is supported by the South­ central Michigan Com­ mission on Aging and is designed to solicit seniors’ perceptions of the problems experience. Inthey formation of this type will be used to make planning decisions regarding the use of resources to improve the lives of senior citizens in the region. Interviewers will be calling telephone numbers in a random fashion and ad­ ministering a questionaire which takes about twenty minutes to complete.

We sing: God bless America and He has with great abundance! We sing: America the Beautiful, and it still is! In spite of pollution! We pledge: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America...one nation UNDER GOD with liberty and justice for all. May that flag ever wave over a land, our land, that is UNDER GOD, whose freedom and justice are realities not just words. Because God is a God of freedom and justice^ (God's dealing with Israel in the Bible furnishes a great example) we can expect a nation, whose people tend to honor God, will have a greater amount of freedom and justice in their land. You can help bring His blessing on our nation by personally honoring God in worship, in living, and daily personal trust. Rev.

Spool knitting, a lost art today, was revived in Ver­ montville Saturday during the first of a series of old time craft classes to be held at the old Academy building this month. Materials needed to start spool knitting are simple household items, which point out the practicality of the pioneers. An empty wooden spool from mom or grandma’s sewing box and four small nails hammered into the top to hold the yarn in place are all that’s needed to get you going. A crochet needle may be used to work with the yarn, but if you don’t have one, a rounded toothpick will work fine, said Mrs. Esther Ommen who taught the Cont. pg. 9 — Action Ads LOST: On North Ionia Rd.

Mrs. Ommen's husband recalls that about 60 years ago the craft was taught in school and both boys and girls participated in learning to spool knit. The finished product of a spool knitter resembles a dainty chain. It can be used to tie back your hair (in place of ribbons); or used for loops when you’re working with large buttons; or it can be stitched together to use as a hot pad. Little girls also have been known to use the yarn chains in a variety of ways while playing with their dolls. Adding to the atmosphere at the Saturday afternoon craft class is the historical setting. The group of youngsters sit around a table in the middle of the old Academy, surrounded by artifacts from Ver­ montville’s past. The Ionia FREE Fair building is a state historical site and serves as a museum of local history. The craft classes are the idea of a committee com­ prised. of Vermontville Historical Society members whose efforts are making the museum a focal point of interest this summer. In keeping with tradition, the museum is open to the public from 2-5 p.m. each Saturday this month. Other activities for children will be held from 2-4 p.m. during the remaining Saturdays in July. Colonial samplers will be taught next Saturday (July 14) to children in third grade and above. Lessons in crocheting and tatting will be held both July 21 and 28 for children in seventh grade and above. There is no charge for the lessons and all materials will be furnished. Those who plan to attend the craft sessions should call either Leta Nagle, 726-0468, or Martha Zemke, 726-0338, by Wed­ nesday prior to the scheduled class.

HAIRDESIGNERS Three Eaton County youths, Paul Martzke, Sue Holben, and Karen Woodman, will be in attendance when Michigan State University hosts the annual state 4-H Dog Show, July 21. Each year, hundreds of 4-H’ers from throughout the state bring the dogs they have trained to the MSU campus to compete in a variety of obedience, showmanship, leader dog puppy and tracking classes. The dogs don’t have to be purebred for the show, and this show gives 4-H members the opportunity to demonstrate the skills they have taught their dogs. Judges for the fifteen obedience classes will evaluate each dog’s abilities to perform tasks ranging from obeying simple commands to jumping hurdles. A tracking class will test dog’s ability to follow a scent on a complicated course. Tracking certificates will be awarded to the owners of the dogs which successfully complete the course. In other classes, handlers will display their showmanship skills and leader dog puppies will demonstrate the basic skills they need before they enter advanced training to become leader dogs for the blind. The 4-H dog project emphasizes proper feeding, care and training of dogs, as well as showing them. In addition to the dog’s ability the judge will also look at how well the dog is taken care of and how well the dog and owner work together. The show is open to the public at no charge. Activities run from 9 a.m. to5 p.m. at the MSU Livestock Pavilion, located at the corner of Shaw and Farm Lane on the MSU campus.

Posegate. Children may close their eyes to advice but they open their eyes to example! The most important part of ccutworm control in the home garden is early detection. If you don’t know cutworms are present until they’ve mowed down half your plants, you’ve just about lost the battle before you’ve begun to fight. According to Ed Grafius, Extension entomologist at Michigan State University, detecting the pests before you plant or as soon as they begin to munch on new transplants and tender, important seedlings is because the caterpillars can be so destructive. “Thee cuworms cutworms youre you’re likely to have in your garden in late May and early June are subterranean cutworms that damage crops by clipping them off at or just he exbelow soil level,” h plains. “They are out and about just as transplants are being put out and seedlings are coming up, when the plants are most susceptible to any kind of damage. Climbing cutworms, which climb up the plants to feed are usually less of a problem in vegetable gardens than on young fruit trees and grapes, for instance, where they can do a great deal of damage to developing buds.” Part of the problem in preventing cutworm damage is that cutworms work nights. They spend the day in the soil around the bases of your plants, emerging at night to do their dirty work. So, unless you go out in the garden at night with a flashlight or dig around the base of damaged plants, you may never see the worms themselves--just the damaged plants. Deadline Notice! During summer months display and want-ads deadline will be Sat. at 1 o'clock — Maple Valley News — From Col. 3 mends making cutworm collars from soup cans - cut the tops and bottoms out- or strips of cardboard formed into cylinders. Place a collar around each transplant or seedling so that two to three inches of it stands above the soil surface and an inch or two extends into the soil to keep it in place. “Having cutworms last year doesn’t mean you’re going to have them this year,” Grafius observes. “The adults are very mobile and are just as likely to fly away and lay their eggs somewhere else. Of course, there’s nothing to stop others from flying in and laying their eggs in your garden, so the key to preventing damage is early detection.” Obituaries Francis M. Shetenhelm John J.

The monies were transferred to another worthwile community project last week when they were donated to the Riverside Recreational Development Corp., a group of local folks dedicated to construction of softball diamonds and other recreational facilities west of the Main Street stores. Grant monies are also currently being sought for the park project. The “Save the Mill” committee had been formed in 1974 in a proposed effort to restore the old mill as a museum but the group disbanded when the structure was subsequently razed by the village. Most of the funds raised by the committee came from a public drive for contributions, plus proceeds of “Small Town Festivals” sponsored by the Nashville Chamber of Com­ merce in the summer of 1974 and 1975. A word of welcome for a newcomer to our village—Mrs. Bernice Engle of Kalamazoo. She is the mother of Richard Engle of Nashville and has taken up residence in the new apartment complex on Lentz Street. Mrw. Engle had been a lifelong resident of Kalamazoo until her recent move here and is looking forward to becoming acquainted with Nash­ ville folks.

Seems that William Niehous, the Toledo executive rescued after more than three years as a prisoner of Communist guerillas in Venezuela, was a former neighbor of the Fullers. “We have known the Niehous family for many years back,” wrote Fuller. “We lived a short distance from them before we built our present home about 18 years ago.” Fuller’s wife, Eliner—a Toledo native—remembers William as a kid, and Fuller explained that Niehouse has had an eye problem since he was young. His eyes appear to be turned somewhat in recent TV photos, and Fuller said that was because Niehous had been without eyeglasses since his abduction in February 1976. Fuller also noted that Niehouse received an $11. cut and styling of his shoulder-length hair, as a gift of a Toledo barber, the day following his return to the USA and reunion with his family. Niehous had let his lock grow while in captivity as a per­ sonal rebellion against his captors, according to the detailed and fascinating news reports from the Toledo Blade sent us by Fuller.

Sixteen graduates of Nashville’s Class of 1907 are beautifully portrayed in a large photo recently donated to Putnam Public Library by Mrs. Lynn (Josephine) Brumm Donnelly of East Lansing. Mrs. Donnelly’s first husband, the late Lynn Brumm, was a member of the class. (Lynn was a Nashville native and brother to Victor Brumm of Nashville and the late June Brumm Nesbet). Donors of the picture also include sons of Josephine and Lynn Brumm: Dr. Lynn F. Brumm, a professor at Michigan State Universify living at Okemos, and Robert S. Brumm of San Antonio, Texas. The gift also included a mint-condition program of the NHS 1907 graduation exercises. The late Lynn Brumm and Josephine, a Flint native and teacher of the deaf, met at MSU (then Michigan State College). In later years they lived at Sharon, Pennsylvania where Lynn managed a large dairy farm. During earlier years in Lansing, Josephine taught at a school for the deaf and Lynn managed a farm operated in conjunction with the facility. Another member of the Brumm family—June Brumm Nesbet—was also commemorated by a recent gift to the library. Memorial donations from her relatives have placed a lighted, detailed world globe by National Geographic in the library. The globe, situated on an attractive stand, is currently on display in the conservatory area at the south end of the children’s room.

The Roloff controversy was the subject of a recent “60 Minutes” program televised by CBS. Completion of three years service with the U.S. Army by cousins, Doug and Terry Knoll, of Nashville was cause for a family celebration Sunday at the home of Doug’s parents, Jim and Delores Knoll cf Nashville. Terry is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Francis Knoll of Kellogg St. Some 34 members of the family gathered for a pool-side cookout in the Knoll’s backyard, and enjoyed a day of picnicing, swimming and visiting. The boys were recently discharged at Ft. Benning, Georgia but their tour of service had taken them far from home. For two years they were stationed in Panama (during the time of the recent Panama Canal controversy) and later spent a month in Alaska after returning to the states. Mr. and Mrs. Vern Bera, former Nashville residents now of Albuquerque, New Mexico, were in town recently to call on Mr. and Mrs. Vern Hawblitz. The two ladies are sisters. Also present for the occasion was another sister and her husband, Mr. and Mrs. Erwin Bruce of Battle Creek. The Beras and Bruces were Friday afternoon visitors and evening supper guests at the Hawblitz home. Sunday callers on Mr. and Mrs. Vern Hawblitz were Mr. and Mrs. Pete (Elaine) Holly of Albuquerque, New Mexico. Elaine, daughter of the Vern Beras, is a niece to Mrs. Hawblitz. Visitors from Fairbanks, Alaska have been at the home of Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville. Her son and his family, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Woodbury and children, arrived in Michigan July 4th. They are staying with his brother, Lester Woodbury of Vermontville, and have enjoyed calling on friends and relatives in the area. Mr. and Mrs. Earl (Clara) Pennock of rural Nashville entertained their family for Sunday dinner to honor the July 3rd wedding anniversary of their daughter and her husband, Lois and John Lane of Battle Creek, and the July 9th bir­ thday of the Pennock’s grandson, Aaron Haroff, son of Mr. and Mrs. Woody (Leigh Pennock) Haroff of Kalamazoo. Son-in-law Woody was unable to attend the event as he is currently stationed in the state of Washington on six weeks National Guard duty. Other Sunday callers at the Earl Pennock home were Bill and Grace Tarbet of rural Hastings, and their daughter-in­ law and granddaughter, Mrs. Charles Tarbet and Opal, of near Norfolk, Virginia. The Tarbet’s son is stationed with the U.S. Navy there. Also a Sunday evening caller and lunch guest of Earl and Clara Pennock was Mrs. Nyla Graham of Beadle Lake, near Battle Creek. Don Green and three children of San Jose, California arrived in Nashville last week to spend some time with his grandmother, Mrs. Theresa Hess. On July 19th Don’s parents, Jack and Virginia Green, are expected to arrive here. The Greens, former village residents, now live at Melbourne, Florida. They plan to visit in Nashville a month and be on hand to help Mrs. Hess celebrate her 80th birthday on August 26th. Mrs. Warren Burdick of Nashville underwent gall bladder surgery at Pennock Hospital last Tuesday and is recovering well. She expects to be home this week. Recent guests at the home of Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville was her brother and his wife, Bruce and Anne Quayle of Columbus, Ohio. They arrived July 3rd for a fourday visit. On the Fourth, they and Mrs. Ramsey enjoyed a tour of the Cornwell Turkey Farm near Marshall. The following day they all called on Mrs. Ramsey’s daughter and her husband, Claudette and Theodore Myers of Charlotte. Friday evening Mrs. Ramsey and the Quayles had dinner at the Spa in Battie Creek as guests of Mrs. Ramsey’s son and wife, Glen and Marilyn Ramsey of Dowling. Following dinner they stopped at the nearby V.F.W. Post to see Ramsey’s son, Mark, who performs with a 5-piece band there. Glen Ramsey was also a Wednesday and Thursday caller at his mother’s home to visit with the Quayles. The Council on Ministries of the United Methodist Church meets Tuesday, July 17th, at 7:00 p.m. at the church, followed by an 8:00 p.m. meeting of the Administrative Board. Verlin Murphy, a former village resident now of Palacios, Texas, arrived in Michigan last week to visit his children and their families: Mr. and Mrs. Dave Murphy and children and Mr. and Mrs. Ray Hinckley, all of Nashville, and Mr. and Mrs. Wendell Studt and children of Woodland. Sunday callers at the home of Ray and Sue Hinckley were Mr. and Mrs. Dave (Laura) Jewell of Elkton, Maryland. They were enroute home after a trip to northern Michigan to visit their daughter, Kathy, who is employed as a forestry technician with the Michigan DNR near Grayling. Mrs. Jewell is a sister to Verlin Murphy and a Woodland area native. On Monday the Jewells were guests at the home of Dave and Rosalie Murphy.

The Nashville Fire Department was called to the Lewis Schulze property bordering West Casgrove last Monday afternoon to extinquish a blazing stack of hay belonging to Carl Bahs. The firemen spent about an hour and a half on the scene, having to spread the hay to totally extinquish the flames. Three tankers of water were needed to complete the job, requiring the trucks to return to the village to refill. Seven woihen, all sisters or sisters-in-law, gathered Thursday at the home of one, Mrs. Eva Cordray of Dowling Road, to stage a Tupperware shower in honor of the bride­ elect of Mrs. Cordray’s son, Mark.

Aso present was the groom’s grandmother, Mrs. Fern Donovan of Dowling. A tour of Charlton Park Museum and Village highlighted last Tuesday’s meeting of the Nashville Garden Club. The ladies gathered for a noon potluck dinner at the park, conducted a brief business meeting, then enjoyed an excursion through the various structures located in the historical village. The Nashville Police Dept, handled 46 complaints during June, Sgt. Gene Koetje reported to the Nashville Village Council last Thursday.

Nashville. Wednesday. July 18. 1979 — Page 4 A wellspring of cultural appreciation that flourished in Nashville-and throughout the USA-during the “Gay Nineties’* was the foundation for the Woman’s Literary Club, Nashville’s oldest continuous organization still active today. The WLC is an offshoot of the old Bay View Reading Club, formed in Nashville near the turn of the century. Both men and women were involved in the original reading clubs in the village. In fact, early news accounts of the Bay View Club in­ dicate that more men than women participated in the early cultural programs. But by 1905 the ladies had taken the upper hand. The Woman’s Literary Club evolved from the Bay View Club that year. And one of the earliest WLC-sponsored events recorded by the Nashville News was a May 1905 “guest night” program in which club members entertained their husbands at the John Marshall home on Durkee Street (presentday Gerald Shoup residence). “As . guests arrived they were greeted at the door by a maid in Japanese costume and conducted into the home of Mrs. J. B. Marshall, where the setting was predominantly Japanese," observed the reporter. “A number of the ladies also wore Japanese costumes, carrying out the theme of the program, which climaxed a study of the Japanese people and their culture, through recent months.” “Even the menu was Japanese and the tables were decorated Japanese style,” added the writer. The ladies continued to gather for enlightenment and fellowship and by 1907 had published their first yearbook, outlining plans for the upcoming season. They met twice monthly, from late September through early May, to study a variety of lessons covering history, literature, art, music, and national and home problems. Speeches, reading of papers prepared by the ladies, musical offerings, and open, or round-table, discussions covered a multitude of subjects that year. “NOT WHAT WE GIVE, BUT WHAT WE SHARE,” WAS (and still is) the club’s motto and the agenda of the Tuesday afternoon programs provided an op­ portunity for various members to take their turn sharing knowledge with others. A leader (or chairman, as they were later called) was appointed for each meeting, scheduled in advance throughout the season. A typical program of that era may be shown in an agenda for December 17,1907 on the subject “American Women.” Mrs. Margaret Shilling had charge of the event, and roll call was answered with quotations from author Ella Wheeler Wilcox. A paper entitled “The American woman at home and in business” was written and presented by Mrs. Daisy Townsend. Mrs. Susan Beebe spoke on “The ideas of a plain country woman”; and a paper on “What life means to the American woman” was prepared and read by Mrs. Daisy Lentz. Open discussion on “The birthright of the American woman” was led by Mrs. Julia B. Marshall. There were 27 members of the Woman’s Literary Club that year, with Mrs. Melissa Roe serving as president. The 1908-09 season found the ladies studying cultures of many foreign landsHolland, Germany, Mexico, Norway and Sweden--in addition to considering such thought-provoking subjects as “Civil Service Reform” and “The Civil War”. The yearly WLC agendas reflect a chronological saga of American history. Con­ cern for America’s problems centering on citizenship, legislation, education and child welfare predominated WLC studies in the early 1920’s, concurrent with women’s newly-won right to vote. During the Depression years of the early 1930’s, WLC programs leaned toward more practical topics—social welfare, conservation, health, gar­ dening and nutrition. Another reflection of a memorable era appears in a March 1937 agenda entitled simply “Radio”. The ladies answered roll call by naming their favorite radio program. Musical selections were renditions of popular songs, and talks were given on noted radio personalities, like Lowell Thomas. Simon Pharmacy ® I®.

Mrs. Julia Marshall (second from left) was a charter member of the Nashville Woman's Literary Club and president when the club's first yearbook was published in 1907.

With Julia in 1909 are her daughter Bertha (left); son-in-law Jason McElwain; daughter Lois Marshall McElwain; granddaughter Emily McElwain; and husband John — a prominent local citizen and partner in Marshall and Martens elevator. (Photo loaned, courtesy Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Shoup) February 1943 saw the WLC discussing “Our Allies” and “The Axis”. Topics considered in January 1945 were infantile paralysis, Sister Kenny treatment, and Warm Springs, Georgia. In keeping with the ladies’ increased political awareness of the 1920’s, Nashville fathers entrusted the WLC with an awesome responsibility. Meeting in special session January 29, 1923 the council resolved to “give the Woman’s Literary Club the management of the Putnam Library.” The council appointed a com­ mittee to act jointly with a library board to be appointed by the Literary Club president (present-day library board members are appointed by elected village and township officials). The newly-formed board in 1923 was responsible for “the expenditure of the fund created for that purpose by terms of the will of the late Mr. and Mrs. C.M. Putnam.” There was some small token of appreciation offered for the laborious hours the ladies would donate to ready the library for public opening just nine months later. “And for this service rendered by the club to the village,” continued the resolution, “it (will) in turn be allowed free use of the building for its meetings.” Typical of the WLC, the ladies pitched in to complete the assigned task. They sought donations of books, cash, labor and materials to create a public library in the Putnam home. In less than a year they had expanded the 300-volume Putnam collection, willed to the village along with the residence, to more than 1500 books available for lending. By January 1924 some 443 patrons had applied for library cards. Civic improvement has always been high on the WLC agenda and the women are credited with many diversified community projects— perhaps the most unique p being the removal of the old iron hitching posts from Main Street. More concon­ ventional endeavors have included continued support of Putnam Library in i various undertakings, such as the WLC’s restoration off a second-floor meeting room in recent years. Students in the local community have also received special encouragement through WLCsponsored programs over the long life of the organization. As early as February 1924 the Nashville News noted one such event, naming nine 5th through 8th grade winners in a music memory contest sponsored by the Woman’s Literary Club. In the late 1940’s the WLC sponsored an annual speech contest for local students, an evening event staged at the high school auditorium. Today, the club’s interest in academic achievement still thrives as an annual WLC scholarship is awarded to a graduating senior selected by a ballot of club members. Each year the WLC sill publishes a club yearbook for the upcoming season, just as it has done since 1907. Active, associate, and honorary members are listed along with an itinerary of planned meetings and an “in memory” roll of now­ deceased members. Names and agendas fill yellowing pages of early WLC yearbooks (now at Putnam Library) and mirror not only the history of a club but the life of a community and nation as well-providing a precious storehouse of memories. Studying cultures of other lands helped wio<»n horizons for WLC members. Art, music and literature of foreign countries were often topics for discussion and typical costumes and native foods occasionally added reality to the lessons.

(Maple Valley News photos) In colonial America, a young girl was likely to display her skills in stitchery on a “sampler” which blossomed into popularity in the mid 18th century. Saturday, in Vermontville, a group of young girls had the opportunity to make a sampler, using pieces of white flour sack, in a class offered by the Vermontville Historical Society. And like their colonial counterparts, they stitched under the watchful eyes of grown-ups, patiently per­ sisting with their needles while they heard encouraging words from Martha Zemke and Hildred Peabody as they developed the techniques of a number of embroidery stitches. “This is fun” and “I like learning to do this” were some of the comments the girls expressed as they learned to make such stit­ ches as the lazy daisy, French knot, and cross stitch from Hildred Peabody of the lioncEstaarluchistorical local hchtiestdsoa rtmihcepa llge rsociety so oucwpie.a who CUP THIS AND SAVE IT let Ils Do The Dirty Work and You Can Have The Fun of Refinishing...

Mrs. Peabody discussed the history of the sampler with the group, using a resource titled “Like It Was” — a Bicentennial Games and Fun Handbook Handbo by Adah Parker Strobeli. Through generations, the sampler often was a record of the types of patterns and stitches of a certain period. Family histories —names and dates of births, marriages, and deaths— were sometimes recorded on samplers. Mottos and prayers were often carefully stitched on a sampler too. The girls in Vermontville, Saturday, were surprised to learn that sewing needles were expensive items in Colonial times and for that reason a needle would often be passed down through the generations a of family...from mother to daughter. Learning the art of stit­ ching samplers was the second in a series of classes sponsored by the Ver­ montville Historical Society and held in the museum (the old Academy). Crocheting and tatting for children in seventh grade or above will conclude the craft classes. The sessions will be held from 2-4 p.m. next Saturday and on July 28.

We hope, however, that all those participating will view it as just another 4-H activity which can provide a learning experience. All the judges make their decisions based on what is seen and brought to the Fair. Exhibits don’t always tell what was really learned, nor do they always express the ex­ periences a member has had. Judges have their own standards, which may or may nbt be the same as the 4­ H members or leaders. Judges evaluate only the exhibits and performances* they do not judge members as persons. So don’t let the color of the ribbon determine the success or failure ofyour total 4-H year.

Til SIB CONFERENCE TIME - The legislature is now in recess until mid-September, but it’s not a vacation: joint House­ Senate conference committees are working to resolve dollar and language differences in bills passed by both houses through last week. HEATING ASSISTANCE - The future of the home heating assistance program has warmed up recently, with House approval of HB 4726 which continues the program, and the governor’s renewed support for it due to increased heating oil costs. SCHOLARSHIP LIBERATION - Governor Milliken has signed into law SB 227, which allows recipients of state scholarships to use them at any nonprofit, postsecondary school in Michigan, rather than just at degree-granting colleges and universities. YOUR PARTY, PLEASE - The Senate last week took action on SB 540, which would create what is called a “closed” Presidential Primary: before you could vote, you would have to announce whether you are Republican, Democrat or Independent. The votes of Independents would not be used for national convention delegate selection if banned by party rule; Democrats ban them. GAS RATIONING? - The Department of Commerce is holding public hearings this week to get public reaction to “odd-even” and “minimum-purchase” gasoline distribution proposals. These are standby plans only. Hearings are in Cadillac, July 16; Marquette, July 17; Kalamazoo, July 18; Saginaw, July 19; and Detroit, July 20. You may give testimony at these hearings. POINT COUNTERPOINT s Now in the House is the Senate-approved SB 471, which adds on penalty points for speeding violations over the present 55-mph speed limit and any future energy-imposed speed limit set by the governor. One point would be added for 55 to the previous limit while 2 points or more would result from violating a special energyrelated speed limit. WORKER COMPANIES - Governor Milliken has signed into law HB 4119, which provides state help for the establish­ ment of employee-owned corporations. This is designed to help save jobs at companies which the owners want to close, if the employees want to take them over. ^EASY RIDING - Although tourism is down somewhat from 1978’s record levels, the outlook is still good for this summer - particularly because gasoline is readily available at most locations in northern Michigan. To learn gas availability, you can call 800-292-2520. SAFETY RECORD - Our recent midweek 4th of July holiday was th safest in 28 years. There were only 5 recorded traffic deaths during the 30-hour period, the lowest since at least 1951. This was attributed to increased traffic patrols and reduced personal travel. 2545 S. Charlton Park Rd., has held bluegrass festivals. More than 13,500 people have attended the shows in that time. The Sweet Corn String Band, a major attraction in the western Michigan area, will make its eighth ap­ pearance on the Charlton Park stage. Horsefeather is making its third appearance and Sounds of the South its second. The park holds its festivals in the center of the Historic Village, nestled on the banks of the Thornapple River. Among the attractions in the village, a group of restored buildings that recreate a village of the late 1800’s, are Bristol Inn, -a stagecoach inn; Lee School, a one-room schoolhouse; Carlton Center Church; the Hastings Mutual Building, featuring a bank office and a lawyers office; a carpenter-cooper shop, a blacksmith shop, a general store and a print shop. All of the village attractions were historic buildings from around Barry County, moved to the park where they have been restored. Charlton Park also features a 300 acre recreation area, including a nature trail, beach and picnic areas. A museum displays a collection of ar­ tifacts compiled by Irving Charlton, who donated the site to the county. Tickets for the bluegrass festival, on sale at the gate, are $5 for adults. Children under 12 are 50 cents and preschoolers are admitted free. For more information call the park at (616) 945­ 3775.

The council will seek voter approval of the project in a referendum tentatively, set. in early September. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is also expected to offer a grant of $221,000 for the sewer expansion which will include extended collection lines, lift stations, and a new waste* water treatment facility. Trustee Lonny Kienutske, head of a council-appointed Public Information Com­ mittee for the project, said Thursday the village has also been offered an additional 10 percent grant from the EPA, amounting to $168,000, for the cost of the planned “alternative process” treatment plant. Kienutske’s committee will be conducting several public information presentations onthe project within the next few weeks. In other business, the council approved retaining Gove Associates of Kalamazoo to design a downtown development plan for the village, contingent on receipt of a community development grant from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development authority which would pay fOT the $7,500 project as part of a'-larger grant. HUD grants totaling $405,000 are currently being soug,ht for the Nashville area. If approved, they could provide $210,000 for low housing income rehabilitation, $170,000 for community development and improvement projects, and $25,000 for county administration of the program.

Motion to adjourn by Spoelstra and supported by Babcock. Meeting adjourned at 10:43 p.m. Dated July 12, 1979 Susan M. Corkwell, Clerk The council tie-voted to retain Gove, pending grant approval. Village president Harold Christiansen cast an affirmative vote to break the tie in favor of the plan. Trustees Sandra Kohfeldt and Ted Spoelstra contended the council was acting hastily .in selecting Gove without seeking other bids on the design project. However, Kienutske pointed out that the Kalamazoo firm came highly recommended and very few such companies specialize in small town planning. He also stressed that the fee is not coming from village coffers but from grant funds designated soley for the purpose of a down­ town development plan. Kienutske said many local merchants had expressed an interest in the project. Representatives of Gove Associates were present at the council meeting to repeat a presentation they had made Tuesday evening to the' Nashville Business OWhers Association. Jack Howell, project nlanner. showed designs currently underway by Gove in the towns of Vassar and Davison. “The downtown, in any small community, is really the heart ofthe community,” Howell told the council. “Merchants are the people who have to be excited and enthused and informed in order to make downtown revitalization happen.”, ’ Several local business owners and members of the NBOA were present at Thursday’s council meeting to express support of the plan .which would include, in addition to architectural and landscaping design, such services as a structural survey of downtown buildings, marketing sur­ veys of consumers and merchants, and advice on funding available for im­ provements. "We (business owners) simply do not have the knowledge and background to-know where to get the help we need,” said Mary Hecker, speaking in support of the project on behalf of the NBOA. Also urging council approval of the plan were businessmen David Mace, George Vogt, Richard Chaffee, and Richard Green. In other business, the council accepted the resignation ofPatrolman Art In related action, the Long, effective July 30. council adopted a procedure Long, employed under the of hiring village employees Comprehensive Em- covering standard guidelines ployment and Training Act, for advertisement of has been with the Nashville openings and review of Police Dept, since December applications.

Public meetings set for6402 During the past few weeks, the Nashville Village Cpuncil has made several decisions regarding the development of the proposed wastewater collection and treatment system. For the most part, the decisions pertained to financing. A major decision other than financing was with regard to the deleting portions of the main line collection system that are not eligible to receive State and Federal grant assistance. On the basis of that action, the proposed sewer service area is as indicated on the map. In other actions, the Council decided to limit initial charges to new customers of the system. As a result, existing customers and owners of vacant lots will be assessed an ad­ ditional amount initially and will only pay the monthly user rates for the new system, once those rates are established. On the basis of those decisions, Council is presently favoring a financial plan that will in­ clude an initial fee of $1,200 per new sewer customer. If the Farmers Home Ad­ ministration provides loan assistance at 5 percent for 40 years, the monthly charge will be approximately $8.60 plus an additional monthly amount for operating and maintaining the system. If, however, the FmHA does not have sufficient loan funds for the project, the estimated monthly rate will be ap­ proximately $15.00 per customer plus the additional amount for operation and maintenance. — The Public Information Committee- is scheduling several public meetings and presentations before groups in town for the purpose of giving Nashville the facts about its project.

And if you’re like most drivers, you can save 15 miles—and probably a lot more—just by changing your driving habits and planning ahead. Here are some easy tips to help you save 15 miles a week: Set aside one day a week as your car-free" day. Is there one day each" week when you could leave your car at home and find other ways to get where you want ' to go? Join a work pool, school pool or shopping pool. Carpooling can save you a lot of miles and money—as much as $650 in gas every year. Trim your driving by two miles a day. Keep a street map handy to be sure you’re taking the shortest routes. Try to run errands closer to home. Before you grab your car keys, think ahead. How many trips could you combine? Are you sure each trip is necessary? Ride with someone who's already on the road—the bus driver. Check out your local bus system and let someone else do the driving.

Michigan farm prices remain stable The Index of Prices Received by Michigan Farmers increased 1 point (0.4 percent) to 229 during the month ending June 15, 1979, according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service. Cash field crops led the com­ modity group price changes with a 9 percent increase. Poultry and eggs rebounded from last month’s decline with a 4 percent increase. Feed grains were also up 4 percent, while fruit in­ creased 3 percent. The farm price of dairy products and commercial vegetables both held steady. Meat animals counter-balance most of the price increases by declining 7 percent.

Posting price declines were hay, hogs, beef cattle, lambs turkeys and calves. For the U.S., the June Index of Prices Received by Farmers decreased 3 points (1 percent) to 243 percent of its January-December 1967 average. Contributing most' to the decrease since May were lower prices for cattle, hogs, broilers, calves and hay. Higher prices for wheat, corn, soybeans, and oranges were partially off­ setting. The index was 26 points (12 percent) above June 1978. Maple Valley News Nashville, Michigan. Published weekly, delivered by Reminder Delivery Service and thru Post Office. Circulation' 3,200 papers.

Those honkers seen in eastern Michigan flight paths winter in the Tennesee Valley and spend summers in Canada’s St. James Bay area. The Mississippi Valley flock originates in extensive muskeg bogs along die south coast of Hudson Bay east to St. James Bay in Canada. They range southward through western Michigan, western Indiana, the entire states of Wisconsin and Illinois, western Kentucky, western Tennessee and into southeastern Missouri. Two breeds make up the population of this goose habitat. 300,000 Branta canadensis interior geese are augmented by eight to 10 thousand Branta canadensis maxima (giant) Canadas. Canada geese are apt to be found in a variety of nesting areas. They’ve been know to nest on cliffs, in maYshes, on islands, even. on elevated platforms in trees. Western varieties have been seen living atop muskrat dens. Michigan DNR officials believe the Canada goose population is on the rise, according to Timothy Payne, habitat biologist at the Plainwell district office. Payne said observers in the Plainwell district have noted an upsurge in the goose population over the last two years. Last year observers recorded 113 pairs of nesting honkers with 503 goslings — a big increase over the 88 pairs with 279 goslings in 1977. According to Payne gosling brrods in the district averaged nearly four and one-half birds per brood in ’78 compared to 3.2 per brood in 1977. Female Canada geese become active nesters att three years of age, though some start a year earlier. The average female lays five eggs, and incubates them for 28 days. y. While incubating, g, the female will be defended aggressively by her consort, according to Payne. Payne said 70 per cent of the eggs ggs laid in the average nest natch and 4.7 goslings leave the nest. He said local observations are below this figure because reports reach Plainwell well after hatching and some young birds fall prey to snapping turtles, hawks and other predators. Payne said the DNR needs reports on goose broods in Barry and Calhoun counties. “We really lack information on geese in these areas and reports would be greatly appreciated,” he com­ mented.

Specifically, voters will be asked to give approval for the village “to undertake a grant and bond program in the approximate amount of 4.8 million dollars for pur­ poses of acquiring and constructing improvements to the village’s sewer system consisting of plant and sewer line improvements and extensions, of which it is anticipated that 3.5 million dollars will be federal and state grants and the remainder village bonds.” The local share of the project, approximately 1.3 million, would be financed by a bond issue with voter approval. Thursday’s special council session was necessary in order to meet a publication deadline of intent to hold the September 11th referendum. Voters will have, through August 11th to register for the election. The village of Nashville has been under order of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources since 1968 tO abate pollution of the Thornapple River. Stiffened regulations issued in 1970 again raised water quality for the Th< rnapple, which flows through the village. Effluent from the present waste water treatment facility does not conform with these regulations and in some areas of the village raw sewage flows directly into the Thornapple River and Quaker Brook. The additional requirements to abate pollution would have in­ creased the cost of ex­ panding the existing plant to such an extent that con­ struction of a new lagoon and irrigation treatment system was recommended in 1972 as the most economical solution. The DNR and U.S. En­ vironmental Protection Agency have offered Nash­ ville grants totaling 80 percent of allowable project costs. An additional 10 percent grant from the EPA, amounting to $168,000, has been granted for the cost of the planned “alternative process” treatment plant to be situated west of the village on Brumm Road. The grant program is a 3step process. A separate application was required for each “step”. In 1976 Nash­ ville received funds for Step 1 (Study Phase); funds for Step 2 (Design) were received in 1977. The village council received notification July 12 that Step 3 (Con­ struction) has been ap­ proved by the EPA. A council-appointed Public Information Committee for the proposed sewer ex­ pansion has scheduled Cont on page 13 Hecker Agency wins insurance merit award The Hecker Agency, Nash­ ville, an Independent in­ surance representative, has been honored as a 1978 Merit Award Winner by the Board of Time Insurance Company, Milwaukee-based life and health insurer.

Vermontville scouts spend 7 days south of the boarder, down Mexico way Four Vermontville Girl Scouts and their chaperones have an exciting seven days ahead of them when they leave for a trip to Mexico at the end of the month. Cathy Trumble, Cheryl McClure, Sue Strong, and Wendy Wyskowski will embark on their journey July 30th from the Detroit airport with their chaperones, Leader Carolyn Trumble and Jeanne Han­ sen. They will' be spending much of their time in Cuernavaca, a gracious resort city known as “The City of Eternal Spring” in Morelos, Mexico where the climate has a semi-tropical appeal with an abundance of lush vegetation. They will be headquar­ tered at the Girl Scout a Cabana, residential program center owned and operated by the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts. While they are at the Cabana, the Vermontville girls will be presenting a service project and an International Presentation.

During their stay, the group will be in Mexico City for three days and also will be spending some time in Taxco which has a reputation as “The Silver City.” Located about 100 miles south of Mexico City, Taxco is picturesque with a Spanish colonial flavor. Sights, the Vermontville girls hope to take in during their Mexican visit include the Imperial Gardens, Pyramids, and museums. They also plan to attend a Ballet Folklorico and do a lot of shopping besides touring the area. The Vermontville Scouts raised about half the money they needed to make the trip by conducting various fund making projects. They sold candy, had a booth at the annual Syrup Festival; conducted a community rummage and bake sale; and sold other products which ranged from candles to stationery. The girls are really looking forward to the trip and want to thank everyone who helped to make it possible. �The Meple Valley New*. Nosh»iRe. Wednesday. July 25. 1979 — Pape 2 Nashville News Nashville drivers will have smooth sailing from now on, at least on several village streets that received new asphalt surfacing last week. Recapped in the project were Middle and Cleveland Streets, from Lentz to Reed; the easternmost portion of Sherman Street, from East Street to Curtis Road; and a one-block section of Reed, from Main to State. RiethRiley Construction Company of Battle Creek arrived in the village last Thursday to begin the work approved earlier this year by the village council. Payment for the paving project has been allocated from federal revenue sharing funds, plus Act 51 major street monies received from the state. All resurfaced roadways were in seriously deteriorated con­ dition, full of potholes and patches which were a real hazard to motorists as well as cyclists. The Nashville business district parking lot, located west of the Main Street stores from Washington Street to near­ Sherman, was also included in last week’s paving project This should be a real boon to local shoppers searching for handy parking spots and for downtown businessmen who may be encouraged to expand rear entranceways to their establishments. Visiting at the home of their great-grandparents, Rev. and Mrs. E. F. Rhoades of Nashville are Sheri and Melissa Wilson of Canandaigua, New York. They are the daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Bob (Sharon) Wilson, and grandaughters of Mrs. Naomi Watson of Nashville. The girls were ac­ companied to Michigan by their mother, who visited four days then returned to New York. Sheri and Melissa will stay on for two weeks. Mrs. Leah (Walrath) Partridge, a Nashville native now of Flint, was in the village for a visit last Monday, along with her daughter and son-in-law, Mildred and Art Long, also of Flint. They called on the Richard and Margaret Engle family, visited with Peg Mater there, and also called briefly at the Maurice Purchis home. This reporter was also honored with a visit from these lovely folks and Mrs. Par­ tridge was able to furnish a wealth of historical information and some very interesting photos for several upcoming “Memories" features.

Many Nashville folks enjoyed Barry County’s 127th annual fair at Hastings last week, both as spectators and par­ ticipants in a variety of exciting activities. Several were exhibitors in the livestock show and other traditional county fair events. Horse racing at the fair was also a popular at­ traction for many. Nashville’s Class of 1954 had a splendid turnout for their 25th anniversary class reunion Saturday, July 16, at St. Cyril Community Hall in Nashville. Nineteen graduates plus three other earlier members of the class, along with spouses and guests, brought the total attendance to nearly 40. Traveling the farthest distance to attend was Darrell Lancaster of Watsonville, Calif. Also coming from out-of-state for the event was Sandra (Hamilton) Hargrove of Vienna, Virginia.

A program detailing the village’s proposed sanitary sewer system expansion was given for the Nashville Senior Citizens group, meeting in Putnam Park’s pavilion last Wednesday noon. Their potluck dinner was followed by a presentation outlining the history, terminology, proposed construction, and alternate financing methods of the 4.8 million dollar project Federal and state grants, which will cover approximately 3.5 million of the cost, were also explained to the seniors. Participating in the discussion, followed by a question and answer period, were Nelson Brumm, representing a council-appointed Public In­ formation Committee; Suzy Corkwell, village clerk; and Patsy Clark and Bruce Kuffer, representing William and Works of Grand Rapids-engineers on the sewer project Many additional public information meetings are planned by the committee. They hope to reach all members of the community through presentations to various local civic groups and organizations, and will also conduct two general public informational meetings at Castleton Township Hall in August. Public input and attendance at these meetings is encouraged. The committee’s goal is to present facts and answer questions so that local citizens can make an in­ formed decision when voting on the project at an election tentatively set for September 11th. The 'next scheduled group presentation will be to the Nashville Garden Club at the 2:00 p.m. Tuesday meeting, August 7th, at the home of Mrs. J. H. Austin.

Jerry competed in the race as did Mrs. Guy’s two granddaughters, children of her son Kendall Guy of Bristol. More than 940 runners entered the event, staged as part of a festival at that city. Mrs. Caroline Jones, Mrs. Carroll Lamie, and Mrs. Dennis Lamie, all of Nashville, attended a stork shower Sunday for Mrs. Debra Martins at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones of Battle Creek. Incidentally, Mrs. Caroline Jones remembers John and Julia Marshall, pictured in last week’s “Memories of the Past”, as they were her aunt and uncle. (John was a brother to Caroline’s father). The “Memories” story concerned the Nashville Woman’s Literary Club in which Julia Marshall was a charter member and early president. Caroline recalls that Julia came to Michigan from Vermont, as a small child, with her parents, the Cyrus Buxtons. She was sent back east, to New York state, to acquire a college education. Julia’s brother, A.C. Buxton, became a prominent Nashville businessman in the manufacturing of guns at a machine shop located in what is the present-day floral shop on Main Street (old Stop and Shop building). Another note from an old clipping-Julia’s husband John was killed in an accident at his place of business, Marshall and Martens elevator, at age 73. He was a highly respected civic leader and suc­ cessful businessman, as noted in his obituary. A 31(4 inch pike, caught recently at Thornapple Lake, was nearly as “tall” as the little 7-year-old lass that landed him. Peggy Hines, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Hines of Lansing and niece of Don Joseph, Jr. of Carl’s Market, hooked the prize while fishing with her father and uncle on the Joseph’s pontoon boat. She was able to reel the giant catch in unaided, and needed help only in lifting her “trophy” on board. An all-day Sunday gathering, with time out for church services, was held recently at the home of Connie and Kenny Meade, Jr. and sons of rural Nashville. Swimming, pic­ nicking and bluegrass “jamming” was enjoyed by those attending, most ofwhom play stringed musical instruments. All came into town for Sunday evening worship services at the Baptist Church, then returned to the Meade home later. Present were Cathy and Rick Vessecchia; Suzy and Larry Corkwell and daughters, Lisa and Becky; Gloria Johncock and son, Doug, and grandchildren, Scott and Julie (children of Sheryl Johncock West of Colorado Springs); Debra and Dennis Morawski; Joan and Lowell McMillon and children, Kim and Todd, all of Nashville, Sharon Beech of Sunfield; and Debbie and Mark Huckendubler of Vermontville. Other Sunday callers at the Meade home were Kenny’s parents, Betty and Kenneth Meade, Sr., of Jackson. Mrs. Gordon (Susan) Gutchess and daughters, Jennifer and Ashley, of Corona, Calif, arrived in Nashville July 15th for a 2-week visit with her mother, Mrs. Petie Latta; Gordon’s parents, Ray and Grace Gutchess of Vermontville; and other relatives and friends. Susan and the girls flew into Grand Rapids and were met at the airport by a welcoming committee of Mrs. Latta and Mrs. Gutchess, plus Susan’s sister, Mrs. Wayne (Sherry) Gould, and her grandmother, Mrs. Ona Hinckley, both of Nashville. - In recent softball competition in a men’s league formed by several area churches, Vermontville Bible Church defeated Hastings Free Methodist by a score of 15-11, and Cedar Creek Bible Church downed Vermontville Bible, 15-7. This action left current standings in the league as follows: in Division 1-Nashville Baptist “Old Timers”, 5-1; Ver­ montville Bible Church, 4-4; Nashville Church of the Nazarene, 2-7; Hastings Church of the Nazarene, 0-5; and Grace Wesleyan, 0-8. In Division 2~Nashville Baptist Youth Team, 6-0; Cedar Creek Bible Church, 5-1; North Irving Wesleyan Church, 5-2; Hastings First United Methodist, 6-3; and Hastings Free Methodist Church, 4-6. The Brott family reunion drew nearly 100 persons to the Maple Leaf Grange Hall Sunday, July 15th. Attending locally were Mr. and Mrs. Adrien (Robie) Pufpaff and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Pufpaff and children. Weekend guests of the Adrien Pufpaffs were Mr. and Mrs. Orville (Louise) Pufpaff of McHenry, Illinois, and they also enjoyed-attending the family reunion. In the morning, before the gathering, Louise accompanied Robie to Sunday worship service at the United Methodist Church in Nashville. A recent visitor in Nashville was Mrs. Alice Ely of Port Huron, who called on her mother, Mrs. Avis Elliston. „ Mrs. Myrtle Graham of Nashville enjoyed a Wednesday evening supper at the home of her daughter and family, Marjorie and Elsworth Disbrow of Eaton Rapids to celebrate the 15th birthday of Myrtle’s granddaughter, Peggy Disbrow. An interesting neresng commentary commenary on our recent recen “Memories emores” on the FurnissjWotring (later Douse) Drug Store of earlier ■years" was received recently from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin. Two memories of the store are quite vivid to him, he writes. One, they always had a rather large display of Christmas toys during the holiday season including electric trains, toy steam engines, erector sets, etc. “As a boy of 8 or 9 I was very interested in them and dreamed of getting them for Christmas, and sometimes I did get one that I had my heart set on.” For girls, the store carried a large, selection of dolls. Meade’s second memory on the drug store has to do with the telephone system at that time, about 1912 or so, when Nashville and the surrounding countryside was served by a local phone company known as the Citizens’ Telephone Company. Battle Creek and perhaps Hastings were served by Bell. A Citizens’ Telephone and a Bell phone were in­ stalled in the drug store side-by-side, Meade recalls. “As I remember, if we on a party line in the country wanted to get a message to Battle'Creek or some other place served by Bell, we would call the drug store and talk to Von Furniss or Mr. Wotring or one of the clerks,” wrote Meade. “They in turn would call the person-in Battle Creek (or elsewhere) and relay messages back and forth.” On another subject, Kenneth Meade also wrote he had recently received a letter from Howard Brumm, one of the boys in the Castleton Center School picture used in another recent “Memories”. Howard now lives near Charlevoix and the article had been forwarded to him by his brother Carter, who lives at Woodland. Fond recollections surround the The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Wednesday, July 25, 1979 — Page 3 school and teacher featured in the story. The popular but effective instructor, Orlin Yank, has elicited admiring memories from former students and Meade has one more to share with readers. He wrote that he still had a copy of a book containing Longfellow’s “Evangeline”, which Yank presented to him on June 3,1914 for having the highest standing (average 92) during the 1913­ 14 year, when Meade was in the 5th grade at Castleton Center. “It was his (Orlin’s) last year at Castleton school,” notes Meade. “I treasure the book very much.” Neal R. Miller, a Nashville native now of East Tawas, recently received high honors in a photography contest sponsored by the Detroit News. Neal’s color photo of Florida seagulls took third place among 1,000 entries and was published, in color, in the Sunday edition of the paper-July 15th. A newspaperman himself, Neal is editor and publisher of the Iosco County News located in East Tawas. Since he uses all black-and-white photography in connection with his news work, the prize winning photo was Neal’s first attempt at developing color film in a special darkroom he has set up at his home. Neal is the son of Mrs. Gladys Miller Richard­ son of Nashville. Condolences are extended to relatives of Mrs. Catherine E. Slater, 83, of Lapeer, who passed away July 8th. She was the mother of Mrs. Ellis (Irene) Bloom of Nashville and grandmother of Bob Bloom, also of the village. Services for Mrs. Slater were held at Baird-Newton Funeral Home at Lapeer on July 11. Mrs. Slater had been a frequent visitor in Nashville and was last here in May to spend Mother’s Day with her daughter. She had eight children, all surviving. Anyone who has been in the vicinity of Putnam Library these past few Tuesday mornings is well aware what a success the “Children’s Story Hour” program has been. Merry Lee Ossenheimer, who has charge of the project sponsored by Nashville’s newly-formed Friends of the Library, reports that 47 youngsters present at the first meeting in July have blossomed to an attendance of 95 children at last week’s session. The theme of the hour-long gatherings has been “Mysteries”, and includes films, storytelling, games and surprises. Last week the older children enjoyed a movie, “My Dear Uncle Sherlock”, while the younger ones watched, “Cat in a Hat.” Next Tuesday morning, July 31, will conclude the story hour program with a special event. Youngsters are to meet at toe library at 10:30 a m. and bring along a sack lunch. After about 20 minutes at the library for a special surprise, the children will walk to Putnam Park with their teachers for a picnic lunch. Parents should plan on being on the park at noon to pick up their youngsters, Mrs. Ossenheimer advises. acaton e school planned Vermontville Bible Church, 250 N. Main St. will conduct Vacation Bible School Monday, July 30 A reunion of four ladies who roomed together back in the 1940’s, when all were single, was held recently at the home of Bill and Grace (Pennock) Tarbet of rural Hastings. Present was Grace’s brother and his wife, Earl and Clara (Gillett) Pennock of Nashville; Bob and Iva (Belson) Osborne of Delton; and Dale and Ortha (Hawblitz) Bishop of Battle Creek. A Saturday evening potluck supper was enjoyed at the gathering, which was the first time all four ladies had been together in 15 years. Mike Norton, owner of Norton Security Services of Hastings and former officer with the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept., is working temporarily for the Nashville Police Department to fill the vacancy left by the recent resignation of Patrolman Art Long. Applications for the position are being accepted by the village clerk through August 6th. Twelve-year-old Chris Ames, son of Mr. and Mrs. David Ames of rural Nashville, was still confined at Pennock Hospital in Hastings at the time of this report, following a fall Wednesday afternoon at the Fred Bell farm on Curtis Road. The Nashville ambulance was called to the scene when Chris fell about 10 feet while climbing inside an ap­ proximately 16-foot high corncrib. He landed on his feet on a concrete floor, but tipped over and struck his head. He was suffering bleeding from one ear when transported to the hospital by the ambulance crew. Sandy Hulbert of Nashville, a summer resident of Mackinac Island and soon-to-be MVHS senior, had the honor to disco with film star Christopher Reeve recently. Reeve is on location on the island for filming of the movie “Super­ man” in which he stars. Sandy and Lori Mitchell, also of Nashville, have summer employment on Mackinac Island and are rooming together. Present for the disco event at the Mackinac Inn were Tim and Alice Boucher of Nashville, who called on the girls during a recent weekend visit there. The Bouchers enjoyed two days of sightseeing, and bicycled around the island in beautiful weather. Sandy and Lori went to Mackinac Island in June to work at the Murray Hotel there.

Hinckley and Leon Frith, Supervisor of Nashville's DPW, were instrumental in prompting the council to undertake the project. The work is being done by Rieth-Riley Construction Co. of Battle Creek which is also paving close to a mile of new asphalt on several village streets.

Walrath left a legacy of happy memories and inspiration to three generations of Nash­ ville families. A Hastings native who migrated to Nashville with his family at age 14, Hiram was a shoemaker by trade but a musician at heart. In his younger days he had loved the sport of speed skating (both roller and ice) but in 1884, at age 18, his inborn love of music prevailed and he dedicated himself to proficiency on the clarinet. “Dad never took a lesson; he taught himself to read music,” recalls his daughter, Mrs. Leah Par­ tridge of Flint. “His whole family was musically in­ clined.” And the talent passed into the next generation of Walraths. Grown into a young lady, Leah found herself the accompanying pianist for her father’s or­ chestra and Hiram’s nephews, Ross and Herb/ Jr., (sons of his brother Herbert) became members of his marching band. But Leah was not yet born when, in 1893, Hiram was persuaded by the village to form and direct a local band in Nashville for the salary of $12 per week. Hiram-or “Hi” as he was popularly called-had already chalked up nine years playing with distinguished out-of-town He specialized in bands. clarinet, cornet and violin but could play every musical instrument except the piano. He had already gained prominence as a gifted teacher and director, and his outstanding talent continued to call him to performances in larger towns over many subsequent years. “H. W. Walrath is helping furnish music for the Kalamazoo street fair this week,” reported the Nashville News in October 1898. From the News, August 1901: “H. W. Walrath was at Holland last week, playing with the Holland band during the state tournament.” August 1904: “H. W. Walrath was in Grand Rapids over the weekend, playing in Wurzburg’s band at John Ball Park.” More than a quarter century later, the gifted Hi Walrath was still being sought by larger cities. “H. W. Walrath, local band leader, has been engaged to direct the Postum band in Battle Creek and will spend one evening a week there, rehearsing,” noted the News in June 1930. But Hi found his first calling was to Nashville. He devoted almost full time to rehearsing and playing for dances, parades, concerts; holiday oday observances, observances exercises, graduation banquets, and a host of other social events in the village.. His director’s salary of $12 per week was supplemented at first by income from a news stand on Main Street at which he sold papers, cigars, , and novelties. oo up In 1896 he took up he shoemaking, a trade t pursued for nearly 50 years in various Main Street locations. At times, he operated in conjunction with brother Herbert’s harness­ making business, and in the end assumed that portion of the enterprise also. But the name of Walrath in Nashville evokes memories of melodies, not leather goods. The News was filled with social events backed by the sweet sounds of Hi and his musicians. “H. W. Walrath opens the skating rink at the opera house tomorrow night,” the News informed readers in mid-November 1899. “H. W. Walrath will promote a big Christmas dance at the opera house, so don’t make arrangements for Christmas until you hear from him,” advised the News in December. Months passed - more news, more events. One year later, in 1901: “H. W. Walrath has already sold 32 tickets for his masquerade dancing party to be given at the opera house November 27. Ladies will be admitted free, if masked.” Five years later, still the music played: “There will be a dance at the opera house Thanksgiving night, with music by Walrath’s orchestra. Bill for dancing and for turkey and oyster stew supper at the Bon Ton Cafe at midnight, just $1 per couple.” That same year, 1904, Hi and Miss. Alda Downing, pianist, had furnished music for the formal opening of the Bon Ton Bakery and restaurant which the News described as “one of Nashville’s finest establishments, already doing a brisk business.” Walrath’s mqsic inspired a love of dancing and, though his chief tutoring .talents , were confined to instrumental lessons, the News noted in January 1903 that, “H. W. Walrath has started a dancing school in Nashville and has close to a score of students lined up.” From the early days of his career until he was well into his 70’s, Hi gave private instructions on a variety of musical instruments, often teaching at his home or the residence of his students. Lessons were 25 cents, recalls one present-day senior citizen. Though opera house dances generally charged admission, much of Walrath’s music was a free performance for music lovers of all ages. “Walrath’s band will give a concert on Main Street Saturday night, the program including two marches, a serenade and two waltzes,” iinformed the News in OcMore than a tober 1904. later, quarter-century people were still flocking to hearr Hiram’s open-air melodies. “More than a hundred cars and an estimated 500 people showed up for the band concert in Putnam Park Sunday afternoon,” reported the News in May 1930.. “The bd is band i under d the th direction di of H. W. Walrath.” Until the formation of a high school band in the late 1930’s. Hi Walrath’s band entertained at most village functions and the members By Susan Hinckley also often traveled to out-of­ town performances at parades _ and concerts, usually going by train if Hi had anything to say about it. “Dad never drove a car and didn’t even like to ride in an auto,’’ remembers daughter Leah, who said he would rarely accept an of­ fered ride. Although Hi’s music consumed much of his time, his daughter recalls that he loved to fish on the river with Ed Liebhauser — nearly every Sunday. And he occasionally enjoyed hunting rabbits, the only wild game he would pursue. “He went ’coon hunting with Dr. Morris once, and that ended it,” said Leah, who explained that her father found it no sport to shoot a treed animal. A game of “Whist” at Irland’s pool room was a favorite diversion for Hi, and he always remembered to bring ice cream home to his wife and children (and later, his grandchildren) though he never ate it himself. As years progressed, Hi gradually lost his sight but his hearing and mind remained keen until the end. “The ever present rhythm of music was with him to the last,” wrote the late Mildred (Purchis) Mater in a per­ sonal biographical sketch on Walrath. “When he could do nothing else but sit in a chair, he would beat out the rhythm of music going through his mind, on the arms of his chair.” Mildred’s mother and Hiram’s wife, Emma, worked together as dressmakers. Walrath’s musicians reorganized several times over the years but many members of the old band often re-enlisted. Since there was no school band, they played for all village events. In an about-1910 Harvest Festival photo are, seated left to right: Howard Sprague, Kent Nelson, Herb Walrath, Jr., Ross Walrath, Drk Barber (kneeling), Hiram Walrath (with mustache), Lisle Cortright, Mr. Bush, and Jack Downing.

(Barber, Rush and Richardson lived in Hastings). (Photo loaned, courtesy Leah Walrath Partridge) In his declining years, Hi could often be seen sitting on the front porch of his Phillips Street home where he and Emma had lived more than 50 years. “The high school band would often march by to play for him-both for Hiram’s pleasure and theirs,” noted Mrs. Mater. Just a year before his death, the community honored the 87-year-old director during Nashville’s 1953 Harvest Festival, at a “HL Walrath Night” ceremony presented on a Main Street stage. There, before a misty-eyed crowd, the aged and nearly-.blind musician stepped proudly to the podium to direct the village band in his final performance, a stirring rendition of “Stars and Stripes Forever.” In 1893 Hiram W. Walrath, left, organized Nashville's first Town Band and Orchestra (not to be confused with an earlier Cornet Band). Walrath, who could play every instrument but piano, received $12 per week for directing the musicians. With him in mid1890's is brother Charles, later of Sunfield. Both wear band caps with Nashville insignia.

Either cer­ tified or uncertified growers may be checked. They want the survey as a base for evaluating the effectiveness of the certification program and were hot planning it as an enforcement effort. A recent incident has tried their patience, however, and any similar incidents may turn the survey into more than an exercise. Growers should think about the safe storage and disposal of pesticides frequently. The recom­ mended (there are no regulations) storage practices . are included in Extension Bulletin E-1025. They are: 1. In an area where there is little traffic 2. Apart from seed and feed 3. Under lock especially if there are children 4. Good lighting and good ventilation.

You should post the area to warn fireman of possible toxic fumes. The signs may be available from your pesiticide dealer. The best ways to get rid of unwanted, unused pesticides are: 1. Use them as labeled yourself. 2. Give them to someone to use as labeled. 3. Return them to the dealer if possible. 4. Contract a licensed hauler to dispose of them; but this, when available at all, is expensive. 5. Or hold them in a secure place until a disposal plan can be worked out; But this prolongs storage risks and increases leakage problems. Disposal of empty pesticide containers is not quite as difficult: 1. Paper containers can be: a) burned where local regulations permit; b) opened top and bottom and 1) buried where there is no­ danger of contaminating water points; 2) or hauled to a licensed land fill if the By Warren J.

The Court of Appeals ruled that weight taxes could be voted on, but not gas taxes. ENERGY CUTS - Governor Milliken has ordered state employees to cut official car travel by 5 percent as part of a gas-saving program that includes staggered work hours in urban areas and increased use of vanpools and carpools. TIE BREAKER - In the closing hours of this month’s legislative session, Lt. Gov. Brickley cast a rare tie­ breaking vote in the Senate. Rather than rush through complex legislation, there was a motion to adjourn; on a tie vote, Mr. Brickley voted yes. BALANCEb BUDGET? - After all was said and done, the budget bills approved by the legislature this month add up to a balanced budget, based on revenue estimates. Total spending isto be some $9.48 billion; the general-fund portion is to be $4.6 billion. Spending will be less if the Governor vetoes some items; revenue will be less if there is a prolonged auto strike. MANDATED COSTS - The House has approved and sent to Governor Milliken SB 460, which implement the mandatedcost section of the Headlee Tax Limitation Amendment. ■ State laws which do not apply principally to local govern-", mpnt% are exempted, frqm the requirement that the stat# pay for cost of them. Thus, there is certain to be a lawsuit challenging this. CONSERVATION LOANS - The Public Service Com­ mission has approved rules which allow utility companies to make interest-free loans to homeowners for installing fuel­ conservation devices like insulation and furnace, modifications, as long as the loans can be paid off in 7 years. This will help save natural gas; loan costs can be recovered by a surcharge on all utility bills. SCARED STRAIGHT! - The “Scared Straight’’ program, in which juvenile offenders are exposed to prison conditions to deter them from crime, has been temporarily, discon­ tinued because a preliminary study shows that those in the program do not commit fewer crimes than others. LAND INVENTORY - The Senate has approved and sent to the House SB 443, which would order a statewide land resource inventory, with the state picking up 75 percent of the inventory’s total cost. The inventory would include geology, agriculture, wildlife, and metal deposits. OLD BOATS - Governor Milliken will soon sign into law HB 4394, which lowers the registration fee for boats built before 1940 which are collectors’ items used in exhibitions, parades and club activities. Under this bill, the fee for such vessels would be one-third the normal fee. Nashville Heating Sales and Service 2O5’/2 S.

If the company recovers more from its customers than its costs, a refund is made.According to a commission spokesperson, the pverrecovery was incurred partly because Consumers has cut back on the amount of synthetic natural gas it had expected to produce at its Marysville plant. The rates were based upon a Marysville production level that was higher than those actually experienced however. The Marysville plant is temporarily not producing gas^and the PSC is working on a revised PGA clause to reflect this. Michigan fruit production reported down for 79Prospects for Michigan,s fruit crops are mainly lower this year compared to the large- production of most fruits last season. The first apple production forecast for 1979 pegs the crop at 720 million pounds. A thinner fruit set coupled with a heavy June drop are factors decreasing the possibility of two consecutive large crops; however adequate moisture should allow good sizing and a large production compared to most years. The sweet cherry forcast remained at 58 million pounds. Apeach crop of 35 million pounds is forcast, a big 42 percent decline from last seasons output.A severe winter and untimely spring frosts hurt the peach crop. Michigan,s pear crop, is expected to dip to 12,000 tons in 1979, a decline of 8 percent over last year. Blueberries have the distinction of being the only Michigan fruit showing an increase in production over last year, among the crops being estimated. For the U.S. apple production is forecast at a record 7.72 billion pounds, 1 percent above last years total. Other fruits showing increases are sweet cherries up 14 percent above last years total. Other fruits showing increases are peaches and pears up 8 percent and bluberries up 7 percent. Michigan wheat production up: corn down Michigan’s 1979 winter wheat crop is forecast to be 31,570,000 bushels according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service. This production is 75 percent higher than last year’s short crop and 3 percent above the previous projection on June 1. Based on conditions as of July 1, Growers expect to harvest 770,000 acres with an average yield 40 bushels per acre, a state record. In the first corn forcast of the year, production is set at 177,loo,ooo bushels, a 3 percent ■ drop from last season. The decline is due to a 4 Bushel drop in the projected average yield to 77 bushels per acre, as growers expect to harvest 2,300,000 acres for grain. Oat production is expected to total nearley 16 million bushels, down 22 percent from last year with an average yield of 55 bushels per acre. Rye production is forecast at 625, ooo bushels, averaging 25 bushels__ per acre and barley is projected to be 799,ooo bushels and 47 bushels per acre. The first summer potatoe production estimate for the 1979 crop shows a 4 percent increase in production over last year to 1,505,000 cwt., due to an increase in acreage for harvest. Yield is forecast at 175 cwt. per acre, the same as 1978. The fall potato acreage is also down 6 percent to 32,000 acres Rains in late June should help the potato crop development. Nationally, winter wheat production is expected to total 1.56 billion bushels, up 25 percent from last year and 9 percent above the June forecast. Corn production is pegged at 6.66 billion bushels as of July 1. This is 6 percent below the record crop of 1978. Proposed state standards tougher than Federal OSHA Phone 945-9554 for Want-Ads Notices, and or News items Proposed state standards regarding employment of youth in agriculture, currently in the stage of being finalized, would be stricter than current federal standards. The definition for Michigan youth would identify “minors” as persons under 18 years oFage while federal standards identify youth as persons under 16, according to Harold Scharp, operations manager of the Michigan Agricultural Services Association. In addition, Scharp reports, several other proposed state standards would be more restrictive than current OSHA regulations. One such standard would require most all tractors which youth would operate to be equipped with roll-over protective structures, regardless of date of manufacture. The proposed standards must be presented for public comment before becoming effective. Public hearings may be held in mid-August.

Railroad, Hastings Ph. 945-9926 PURINA HEALTH PRODUCTS Five generations gather in Nashville — A Farm Bureau spokesman told members of a Senate subcommittee in Washington, D.C. July 17 the farm organization supports provisions of S. 334, the Family Farm Antitrust Act of 1979. The act would, establish a reporting system to gather additional in­ formation on the absentee ownership of farmland. Vernie Glasson, Director, American Farm Bureau Federation's National Af­ fairs, testified before members of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust and Monopoly, in favor of enactment of language which will prohibit the use of agricultural land as a long-term, tax-sheltered investment by pension and profit-sharing funds. “While Farm Bureau is concerned about the entry of nonagricultural entities into agriculture, our policy does not call for an outright ban on the purchase of farmland by nonagricultural firms or foreign investors, regardless of the extent of their non­ agricultural holdings.” Glasson said.

Sixty-six ladies attended the 41st annual event which is sponsored by Vermontville ’s Methodist and" montville’s Methodist and" Congregational Churches to honor all of the older ladies in the community, said Frances MacDonald, Frances MacDonald, chairman of this year’s tea. The first Sunshine Tea was held in 1938, and is an event that many from far and near look forward to attending each year. Mrs. Ava Kroger, who is a Vermontville news correspondent for the Maple Valley News, was awarded a special bouquet of flowers Publishers respond to Four for attending the Sunshine Tea for more years than any other in attendance. Mrs. Kroger has attended the. annual event 30 times in its 41 year history. Receiving the the prize prize for for Receiving being the oldest in at­ tendance was 91-year-old Bernice Curtiss. g.

Milliken and the Michigan Press Association (MPA) jointly called for such action from publishers in a press statement issued July 20, from Mackinac Island. The Governor asked publishers to continue running the special classified sections for, “The duration of the energy crisis.” Jacobs said his papers would do so. “To qualify for free in­ sertion, pool ads should be pooling request written up on classified forms provided in each paper — ads must be mailed to reach the publishers on Saturday preceding publication dates,” Jacobs said. In making the request, Milliken and the MPA noted success in a state operated van pool. The pool began operations in 1977 and now runs 48 vans. “The state government van pool has saved over four hundred­ fifty thousand gallons of gas,” the statement noted. In addition, each van in operation eliminates five tons of air pollution and saves individual riders $1,000 each, Milliken said. Spokesmen for several local businesses and manufacturers say company management encourages car pools. “Steve Johnson, the president of (Hastings) Manufacturing is pooling Cont. pg. 3 — Public meetings planned for sewer project discussion — Two public information meetings, to inform Nash­ ville voters of a proposed $4.8 million expansion to the village’s sewer system, were set for next month by village officials at Thursday’s council meeting. Members of a councilappointed Public In­ formation Committee will present a comprehensive explanation of the proposed project and conduct a question-and-answer session during the public meetings, to be held August 13 and August 30 at Castelton Township Hall in Nashville. The earlier, Monday evening, meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. and the later one, Thursday, will be at 8:00 p.m. Represen­ tatives of William Works of Grand Rapids, engineers on the sewer expansion project, will also be present at the meetings, designed to enlighten voterswho must make a decision on the expansion program in a special Sept. 11 election. At that time, the council will be seeking approval to accept an offered $3.5 million in federal and state grants to proceed with the sewer project and voter consent to finance the local share of approximately $1.3 million by a" bonding issue. . In other action related to the proposed sewer ex­ pansion plan, the council adopted a Step 3 engineering agreement with Williams and Works, authorizing them to proceed with lab tests, to establish and review rates and user charges-including industrial cost recover— determine process, etc. All are preliminary services necessary to speed receipt of grant monies if voters give a nod to the project in September. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Michigan’s Dept, of Natural Resources have offered Nashville grants totaling 80 percent allowable project costs. The village has been under order of the DNR since 1968 to abate pollution of the Thornapple River from effluent discharged at the present wastewater treat­ ment plant. The proposed project would construct a new lagoon and irrigation treatment facility on Brumm Road, west of Nashville. The expansion would also build several lift stations and provide service to 250 homes, including 27 presently served by a Lentz Street collection line and another 40 homes on septic systems flowing into storm drains running into Thornapple River or Quaker Brook. In other business, the council adopted an ordinance governing conduct in all village-owned parks. The law goes into immediate effect, and violation of the ordinance constitutes a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 90 days in the county jail and-or a fine of up to $100. Also adopted was an ordinance banning parking of all semi-tractors or trailers on the newly surfaced business district parking lot, west of Main Street. Signs prohibiting such parking will be posted. The council also agreed to install six “handicapped parking” signs on the new lot, designed to accomodate approximately 120 vehicles. The council tabled a propsed ordinance that they must adopt to comply with a new state traffic code, effective August 1, which decrees that most traffic offenses will no longer be criminal charges. All but the most serious traffic violations will be considered civil cases under the new law. Acting Police Chief, Sgt. Eugene Koetje told the council Thursday he would be at the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept. Monday to attend a meeting designed to clarify the new law. The council decided to postpone adoption of the new traffic code pending a further report on the subject by Sgt. Koetje. Work begins on parking area at new wing site at HGB Hospital The first sub-contractor to begin work on the construction of the new wing of Hayes-Green-Beach Memorial i Hospital, Gerald D. Harris & Sons, Inc. of 2600 Lansing Road, Charlotte, Michigan, went to work this week be­ ginning the task of clearing the area to be used for the parking. Mr. Gerald Harris and his three sons, Richard, David and Clarence were hard at work with heavy equipment. The above photograph shows one large tree being toppled by machine with Dick Harris at the controls and the other photograph pictures that area after the tree was down. The Hospital Expansion Fund, still, active presently stands at approx­ imately $740,000. �Th« Maple Volley Newt, Nashville. Wednetdoy, Acjuil 1, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News For 33 years Lorena Fedewa of Nashville has shared her life by letter with an English pen pal whom she had never seen. But all that changed early this month. July 2nd Lorena flew from Detroit to Heathrow Airport, London, to meet her friend. Armed only with a photo and a description of clothing that Mrs. Florence Causon of Gloucester would be wearing, Mrs. Fedewa arrived in the mammoth air terminal but failed to spot her friend among the throng of travelers. Having her paged through the airport intercom, Lorena soon located Florence, who had been standing nearby all the time. “We had so much in common,” said Mrs. Fedewa of her friend, “and the family made me feel so much at home.” (Florence is the mother of five.) During a two-weeks stay Lorena enjoyed sightseeing at traditional London land­ marks and also visited Stratford-on-the-Avon. The friend­ ship between the pen pals goes back to Lorena’s schooldays in Portland, when she found part-time work in a local restaurant. There she met an English lady employed as a dishwasher, asked her to suggest a possible pen pal, and started writing letters to Florence. A bundle of 33-years of airmail letters, all saved, chronicle that friendship. The only time Lorena and Florence had talked, prior to their face-toface meeting this month, was by phone during our big snowstorm of January 1978. One of the most touching memories of the recent meeting was a surprise party arranged by Florence for Lorena, while she was out sightseeing with the Couson youngsters. When she returned, the house was filled with friends and neighbors for a celebration in her honor. “I cried,” admits Mrs. Fedewa. Sunday dinner guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Vem (Fern) Hawblitz of Nashville were Paul Bell of rural Nash­ ville and his daughter, Marcia, of Ann Arbor. White paint, marking appartus, and CETA youths produced approximately 120 parking spaces on the village’s new asphalt lot west of Nashville's business district early last week. In addition, about a dozen cycle-sized spots were delineated and a traffic lane around the perimeter of the lot, between Washington and Sherman Street, was marked to guide motorists. All that’s needed now is some clearly visible “parking in rear” signs, located in strategic Main Street spots, to encourage shoppers to use the convenient new parking facilities. Perhaps this will also encourage merchants on the west side of Main Street to expand rear AT ANY AGE... Irene’s beauty shop 204 W.

The Cloverleaf Class of the United Methodist Church will meet at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, August 5th, at the home of Bill and Mary Hecker of Brumm Road. Hostess for the event is Mrs. William H. (Margaret) Hecker. Assisting her as co­ hostess will be Mrs. Dessa Handel. Mrs. Helen Furlong of Nashville is still confined at home, at this writing, recuperating from a heart attack suffered in mid-June. The Education Committee of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet at 7:00 p.m. Wednesday, August 8th, at the church. The Nashville Garden Club will meet Tuesday, August 7th, at the home of Mrs. J. H. Austin, south of Nashville. Apresentation will be made to the club members to explain various aspects of the proposed sewer project in the village. Members of the council-appointed Public Information Committee will speak to the group in a continuing effort to enlighten local voters who will make a decision on the project in an election set for Sept 11th. Attendance at “Children’s Story Hour”, a month-long Tuesday morning event sponsored by Friends of the Library throughout July, continues to set fantastic records. There were 76 younsters present at Putnam Public Library for last week’s session, and 95 gathered there the proceeding Tuesday. These figures far exceed the turnout for this an­ nual event in past years, thanks to the efforts of the newlyformed Friends group. Storytelling, films, games and surprises planned by the FOL have attracted the children and many members of the organization have volunteered their time to supervise the activities under the direction of Mrs. Merry Lee Ossenheimer. Today marks the final chapter in the program, as the youngsters and their teachers conclude this summer’s session with a picnic at Putnam Park. All will bring a sack lunch and meet at the library at 10:30 a.m. for a surprise. The picnic follows, and parents are to be at the park at noon to pick up their children. The Friends of the Library will meet at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, August 14, at the library to evaluate the summer program, plan for a fall book sale, and discuss the possible purchase of a film projector. All are welcome to attend; the organization needs many friends to help with their very worthy projects. Jim Sheldon of Ludington, son of Mr. and Mrs. Nate Sheldon of Nashville, sustained rather serious injuries last Monday in his employment as a construction worker. He has been hospitalized at Ludington with a concussion and multiple facial fractures and was expected to undergo surgery Thursday to have three breaks in his cheekbone wired. Nate and La Duska went north following the mishap to be with their son and his wife, Lori. Golden Agers of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet for a noon potluck dinner at the Community House, Thursday, August 12th. Cecil and Juanita Barrett, former village residents now of Lakeland, Florida, arrived in Nashville last Tuesday for a week-long visit with friends here. They are staying with Rose and Adolph Douse, Jr., who are winter neighbors of the Barretts at Lakeland. While in Michigan, the Barretts also called on Cecil’s sister at Sturgis and Juanita’s sister at Lansing. Another Florida visitor at the Douse home last week was Adolph’s sister, Mrs. Harold (Theresa) Voelker, a Nashville native now of St. Petersburg. The Douses drove to Grand Rapids Wednesday to meet Mrs. Voelker’s flight at Kent County International Airport. Enroute home, they enjoyed dinner at the Mid-Villa restaurant near Middleville. Mrs. Voelker, the former Theresa Douse, has been a Florida resident for the past 15 years and it has been nearly seven years since she has returned to her hometown. While here she will also call on her sisters, Mrs. Agnes and Pauline are also Nashville natives. Mrs. Scobey is recently retired from nursing at Pennock Hospital. A “Men’s Breakfast” has been scheduled for August 5th at the Nashville United Methodist Church. The 7:30 a.m. event preceeds morning worship service at the church, and will be held in the Community House. An outstanding performance by singer Leslie Uggams and several other stars highlighted last Monday evening’s performance at the Lowell Showboat, attended by fourteen senior citizens from Nashville’s Nutrition Site. The local group journeyed to Hastings, via a Nashville Baptist Church bus, and were joined on the excursion by a number of seniors from Hastings Site. After supper at McDonalds in Hastings, the Jour proceeded to Lowell, arriving about two hours before the 9 a.m. showtime. Several of the seniors enjoyed browsing downtown before the performance, staged on Lowell’s new showboat! previous ship was destroyed in a windstorm last year)'. After an exciting evening of en­ tertainment, a group of weary but happy senior citizens arrived back in Nashville shortly after 1:00 a.m. Some of the Nashville folks who enjoyed a recent Saturday evening ice cream at Gresham Church near Vermontville were Mrs. Caroline Jones, Mrs. Verna Frederick, and Mrs. Gladys Histead. Recent weekend guests at the home of Johnny and Montielle Dull of rural Nashville were their daughter, Mrs. Barbara Ross of Adrian, and her children: Betsy and Brenda and foster son, Tran Phan. Also weekend guests were Melanie and Michelle Rogers of rural Nashville. A Saturday evening visitor, for a cookout at the Dull home, was Mrs. Ethel Latta of Morgan. This past week, Melanie Rogers, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Forest Rogers of Barryville, has been attending girls’ basketball camp at Alma College. Sunday dinner guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence (Margaret) Reid of Nashville were their son and his family, Darrel and Karen Reid and sons of Vermontville. Several unusual events are- planned by the Nashville Baptist Church during an August program to progressively increase church attendance. On August 5th (also “Baby Dedication” day) the church will aim at a turnout of 850. Everyone attending who has a driver’s license will receive a special window sticker for their car. August 12th, the goal is 900 in church, and the family bringing the most persons to Sunday morning service will enjoy an afternoon of golfing and dinner out as guests of Pastor and Mrs. Lester DeGroot. Ezra Daniels, a nationally known gospel saxophonist, will be featured during morning services. On the 19th, with an at­ tendance goal of 950, the family bringing the most persons to church will receive family name plaques. On the 26th, Sunday morning services will be combined with the annual church picnic to be held at Charlton Park (there will be no Sunday School that day). Attendance goal for the outdoor service in the park is 1,000. More details will'be furnished later on each event Also, throughout August, Pastor DeGroot will be showing slides of his recent trip to Israel during all Sunday evening services. September will be “stewardship month” at the Nashville Baptist Church, with that being the theme of all Sunday School classes. Perhaps the most unusual upcoming event will be October’s theme of “Hatfields versus McCoys”, a mock feud to be staged between Nashville Baptist Church and the Lake Center Bible Church at Portage, as each seeks to top the others’ attendance record. The administrative Board and Board of Trustees of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet jointly at the church at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 31.

Music lovers will find a good selection of long-playing records at Putnam Public Library, and that collection was expanded last week by a donation of a variety of discs from Mrs. Margaret Bouchard.

The Nashville Fire Department was called, out shortly after 10 p.m. Tuesday evening to a reported car fire in frontt of the Co-op Elevator on South Main. A stalled van was being filled with a gas can and fumes ignited when an arc was created by a screwdriver being used on the ignition. The motorists immediately threw a blanket over the flaming can to smother the blaze and the firefighters had to use only a small amount of water to complete the job. The van was pushed to safety and later driven from the scene with no damage done. Family reunions are keeping the family of Mr. and Mrs. Vern (Fern) Staup on the go this summer. On July 8th, Fern attended the Case reunion at Adriari to welcome her niece and husband, Suzanne and Merlin Warner, and daughter, Kimberly, of Lakeside, Calif. Also attending the reunion held at the home of Fern’s sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Sawyer of Adrian, were Mr/ and Mrs. Ralph Kirk and daughters of Nashville; Mr. and Mrs. Lou Hamel and daughter of Assyria; and many other Case relatives from the Adrian area.

The children will return later. The Nashville Village Council adopted a park ordinance last Thursday which will govern conduct in all village-owned parks. (The ordinance is published in full in this issue of the Maple Valley News.) The law goes into immediate effecat and violation of the ordinance will constitute misdemeanor, punishable by up to 90 days in the county jail and-or a fine of up to $100. In order to avoid having heavy commercial trucks destroy the asphalt surface of Nashville’s new business district parking lot, the council Thursday banned parking of semi­ tractors and trailers from the lot.

Wednesday, August 1.1V79 — Page 4 Memories of the past Except for his mustache, the teacher at Maple Grove Township’s McKelvey School in 1892 could scarcely have been distinguished from several male students enrolled there. Chris Marshall, then a novice teacher who later became a longtime officer of Nashville’s State Savings Bank, was instructing young men and women nearly 20 years of age when he taught at McKelvey School south­ west of town. Their education had often been delayed by farm work. In 1892 students living in the outer reaches of Nash­ ville’s rural community had not yet migrated to the new, five-year-old high school in the village. Just a few years later, many would make the daily trek into Nashvillecovering the five or ten mile round trip by horse and hi>ggy Some came on horseback. Almost all stabled their steeds at liveries in town. A few stayed with relatives in town during the week, attending school and returning home for the weekend. “It was my first schooling, at McKelvey in 1892,'* recalls George B. Dean, the only living member of that group of scholars. Dean, just seven years old at the time, walked a mile with his two older brothers to reach the McKelvey School at the intersection of Bivens and Assyria Roads. “Mother (Susan McKelvey Dean) didn’t want us to start school too young because of By Susan Hinckley the bad weather," he notes. “She didn’t want us to get so we didn’t like school." For trudging through the harsh winter, the boys wore what they called “felts’’--knee high hair-woven leggings topped by rubber overshoes to ward off dampness. Many students enrolled at McKelvey School in those early days were more adults than children “Some of older boys at­ tended just a short time in the winter," remembers Dean. “They came to school when they couldn’t go any other place." Potato digging and corn cutting kept them at home in the fall; plowing and plan­ ting detained them in the spring. Like most rural schools of that day, the McKelvey School (situated on Section 9 of Maple Grove Township in School District No. 6) catered to the needs of an agriculturally-based community. In fact, its inception can be credited to an early area farmer with nine children to educate. James McKelvey, an ancestor of Dean’s mother, was in­ strumental in founding the school. He had imigrated to the USA from Ireland, along with his brother Johnson and sister Mary. He settled first in New York state than moved on to Ohio. “James traded his wagon factory in Akron for 160 acres in Section 4 of Maple Grove Township in 1847," reports his great-grandson Ted McKelvey. “James and a son, named Johnson, made a clearing in the wilderness, built a log house, and brought the McKelvey family from Ohio in 1855." With such a large family needing schooling, McKelvey soon pushed to have a schoolhouse built in the area-offering financial support and promising to secure a teacher. Land for the school site, where the brick structure was finally built, was Knee high "felts" warm legs of young lads at McKelvey School, southwest of Nashville, in February 1892.

Married to one another in later years were classmates Kate Morgenthaler and Harvey Marshall; Mary Kunz and Orville Flook. The boy holding the slate, Howard H. Bell, became a very successful California oilman. Many of the boys became farmers; most of the girls married and moved away. Kathryn Holmes became a stenographer for Eastman Kodak in New York. Minnie Maurer learned nursing and became a nun. William O. Dean was noted as Nashville s poetry-writing beekeeper..

FOR RENT “We little ones didn’t par­ ticipate." By the time he was old enough to take part in the plays, the annual function had been discon­ tinued. As a spectator, however, he remembers well those shows staged in the early days of his childhood. “Our parents and other folks would come for the evening performance and bring along kerosene lamp­ s," he reminisced. “We didn’t have any lights in the school then.” Other utilities during early days at McKelvey School were also very basic. Drinking water, drawn from a well at a neighboring home, was carried to the school in a large pail and served by a community dipper. The building was heated with a potbellied stove, fueled by a supply of wood stacked outside. “Farmers would cut wood in the wintertime, team it in, and pile it up near the school to dry through the summerto be ready for the fall season,” recalls Dean. He claims the school purchased the wood, though it was often donated to area churches in those days. Average (enrollment at McKelvey School was, in Dean’s memory, about 30 students. Subjects were very primary-teaching fundamentals of education to rural youngsters. In 1897 George Dean began making the daily round trip into the village, from his family’s home at the corner of Assyria and Lawrence Roads, to attend high school. His education had not been delayed by farm work. “My people all went to school regularly,” he noted.. “We never stayed out of school for farm work." Some forty years later all McKelvey area scholars were coming into Nashville to pursue their education, as a general consolidation absorbed almost all surrounding township schools into the Nashville system. No longer would farm work detain rural youngsters’ schooling. An era had passed, but around the sturdy brick schoolhouse (now a private residence) lingered many happy memories of the past. clip thFsandsave if; Let Ils Do The Dirty Work | and You Can Have The Fun I | of Refinishing...

James -McKelvey’s property (now owned by Albert Bell, also a McKelvey family descendant) was situated across the road from the new school. “They (the schoolteachers) made quite a specialty of arithmetic and history,” remembers Dean. Anyone who could handle ‘Robinson’s First Arithmetic' would be in that (level of) class.” Often subjects were too advanced for the young children who were assigned seats in an area near the teacher’s desk, while older students sat farther back. “The teacher would have us little ones marking on the blackboard (while the older ones recited), recalls Dean, “or sometimes just sent us outside to get rid of us.” “It meant something to be a teacher then,” observed Dean, as he recounted the skill required to handle students in such a wide age range. “Some of the older students were nearly the same age as parents of the younger ones," notes Dean. Although he cannot recall names of teachers before his time at McKelvey School, Dean lists some of the early ones he had as instructors: Kate Mayo, Chris Marshall, Belle Garn, Mary Pilgrim, Blanche Troxel, Minnie Burham, and Ed Smith. “The teachers had to kind of mother us when we were little fellows," he added. And little ones, he said, were usually not included in the yearly “exhibitions”, a sort of theatrical per­ formance staged at the school each winter. The older children acted, sang and played musical in­ struments. “We had a great time of it," commented Dean, who recalls lumber was obtained to construct a 3-foot high stage across the front portion of the school’s interior. From somewhere, stage curtains were also acquired for the event. “I never took part though," Dean remembers. 42 acres - 32 acres • 26 acres Stuart and Elaine Southworth, Owners (517)726-1100 Phone (517)852-0943 ; �?*$ The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday.

Full moon to hinder view of Meteor shower August's full moon may be beautiful, but it will make it difficult for skywatchers to see the annual Perseid meteor shower. The full moon will make its appearance August 7 and continue to brighten the late night sky until mid August. Robert Victor, astronomer at Michigan State Univer­ sity's Abrams Planetarium , points out that because the moon will be bright until sunrise, the best viewing time for the meteor shower will be lost. Under the circumstances, says Victor, best viewing of the Perseid shower should be early in the evening of Aug.12 from the time darkness falls, nearly two hours after sunset, until the rising of the moon, about three hours after sunset. The meteor count should be about 20 per hour. If it weren't for the bright moon, observers could watch until the early morning hours when the count would likely be up to 60 per hour, says the MSU astromomer.

The sale was held on Thursday, .July 26, during the 49th Annual Fair. The sale of­ fered an opportunity for all to find just the type of meat they preferred, as well as an excellent time to advertise their business and support the future business people of Eaton County. With the “bang” from the gavel and the shout of “sold”, the project year for dozens of youth enrolled in market livestock projects was ended. One can be assured that the lessons and skills they have learned in responsibility, decisionmaking, animal care, and cooperation with others will follow them throughout their lives. Livestock projects serve as a basis for personal development and 4-H is one of the few youth activities today where the family can work together towards a common goal. Sixty-seven lambs were sold in the sale, along with seventy-three hogs, sixtyfour steers, six rabbits, and eight chickens. The Grand Champion Lamb was raised by Steve Gordeneer from Charlotte, and was purchased by Felpausch of Grand Ledge for $3.50 per pound. Felpausch of Eaton Rapids purchased the Reserve Grand Champion Lamb, also raised by Steve Gordeneer, for $1.50 per pound. Steve also showed the Grand Champion Pen and Security Bank of Bellevue purchased it for $1.30 per pound. Reserve The Champion Pen was exhibited by Jeff Gordeneer and sold „ to Grand Ledge Clay Tile for 85 cents per pound. The Champion Carcass Lamb . was owned by Carol Hice of Charlotte and was purchased by Fred Good of Charlotte for $1.75 per pound. The Bellevue Milling Co. bought the Reserve Champion Carcass Lamb for $1.75. It was owned by Mike Wight of Bellevue. Kris Bosworth Charlotte, had the Grand Champion Steer. He was purchased by P.C.A. and the • Federal Land Bank of Charlotte for $1.25 per pound. The final bid of $1.00 per pound for the Reserve Grand Champion Steer came from Carter’s IGA from Eaton Rapids. He was owned by Denise Murphy from Olivet. Troy Garnant, Charlotte, exhibited the Champion Carcass- Steer; which was purchased by Carter’s IGA at Charlotte for $1.60 per pound. The Reserve Champion Carcass Steer was owned by Karla Maurer from Olivet, and was bought by Tuff Kote Dinol-Charlotte Tire Co. for $1.50 per pound. Larry Treadwell from Charlotte exhibited the Grand Champion Market Hog, which was purchased by William Fox at the Citizen’s Elevator in Ver­ montville for $3.05 per pound. The Reserve Champion Market Hog was owned by Darrold Lehman, Charlotte, and was pur­ chased by Production Credit Association and Federal Land Bank of Charlotte for $2.10 per pound. The Grand Champion Pen of Hogs was purchased by Dale Hoffman Continued on page 8— Picnic winds-up Nashville Story Hour These mysterious looking footprints which have been springing up on some of the merchants' windows symbolize the enjoyment and accomplishment many local youngsters have achieve^ through participation in i the recent “Children's Story Hour" month at Putnam Library. Each footprint represents a book read by a youngster, whose name is noted on the print along with the book's title. The footprints start at Johnson's Furniture Store (shown in the photo) and progress across the street and head northward.

Dennis Smtih has agreed to the chairmanship of the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital Bika-A-Thon in Nashville, to raise funds to support the hospital, ac­ cording to Mr. William j. Kirwen, Director of Development at the in­ ternationally recognized hospital. St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital was founded by entertainer Danny Thomas. The in­ stitution opened its doors to the public in 1962 to combat catastrophic diseases which affect our children. St. Jude’s is non-sectarian, nondiscriminatory and com­ pletely free of charge to all patients. At St. Jude’s, scientists and physicians are working side by side seeking not only better means of treatment. but also the cause, cure, and prevention of these terrible killers. All findings and information gained at St. Jude’s are shared freely with doctors and hospitals the world over. Thanks to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, children who have leukemia, hodgkins disease, sickle cell anemia, and other child killing diseases now have a better chance to live. The funds raised in the Bike-A-Thons this fall will assure the continuation of the life giving work at the hospital. The concern which Mr. Smith has for the work being performed at St. Jude’s is greatly appreciated, and the children hope that the citizens of Nashville will support the upcoming BikeA-Thon whole-heartedly. �Th* Mopl* Volley N»wi Nothvill*. Wednesday Auguit 8 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News A Nashville man who says he cannot swim was responsible for the recent rescue al a 14 year-old Indiana boy and his overturned fishing boat at Thornapple Lake. Biair Hawblitz took his pontoon boat out to bring the lad to shore early Friday morning, July 27. He was first alerted to the cjhuitton about 7.20 a m when his wife Leila went outside to feed the cat at their Thomapple Lake cottage. She beard cries for help coming from the lake and spotted the boy Hinging to his boat and a flotation cushion. Calling to him to remain calm and continue to hold the boat, she summoned Blair. By the time Hawblitz was in the water headed toward the t boy, other nearby neighbors had been awakened by the uproar and also scurried outside. Brought safely ashore, the young lad had suffered no apparent ill effects from the accident caused when he reportedly lost control of a small boat powered by a 25 hp motor. He and his family had been vacationing a week at the east end of the lake at the time of the mishap. His father came to the scene later to retrieve several pieces of downed fishing gear. The village of Nashville took delivery recently on a new 1979 1-ton Chevrolet truck for use in the Department of Public Works. The vehicle is equipped with a dump box, hoist, snow plow and hydraulic hook-ups. Gray in color, it is a noticeable departure from the yellow vehicles which have been standard fare for the DPW in the past. Village officials expect more economical operation of the new vehicle, especially in handling smallerjobs that previously had to be assigned to the large trucks due to lack of an intermediate sized vehicle. The truck was purchased from Frantz Buick and Chevrolet in Hastings, and the equipment came from Truck and Trailer Equipment Company of Lansing.

The Nashville Village Council met in special session last Tuesday evening to review the Step 3 engineering agreement pertaining to the village’s proposed sewer ex­ pansion. Present to discuss the agreement with village ofof­ ficials was Bruce Kuffer of Williams and Works of Grand Rapids, who would be engineers on the proposed $4-8 million project. The first general public informational meeting on the sewer expansion is set for 7:30 p.m. Monday, August 13, at Castleton Township Hall in Nashville. The council’s Public Information Committee encourages public at­ tendance and input at these meetings, designed to enlighten voters who must make a decision on the project in a Sept. 11th election. Nashville has been offered a $3.5 million in federal and state grants toward the project cost. Basically, voters will be asked if the village should accept these grants and finance the approximate $1.3 million local share through a bonding issue.

Remodeling at the store grew into a major project, he said, when it was discovered that the original north brick wall of the 107-year-old building had begun to bow out. The old brick had been wet for a number of years, but the problem magnified after the heavy snows of last winter. At first, Kelley said he thought a new con­ crete wall could be built and tied to the old wall. But in­ stead the original wall had to be torn down, and a new concrete one had to be built from the interior because of the closeness to the next building. “There’s only about enough room to put your arm through (between the building),” he said. <- Now the wall is “very secure and very strong,” says Kelley. Steel beams have been placed between concrete block columns to support the second story. The work is being done by Carl Cabral of Hastings. As long as the old homemade fixtures had to be torn out, Kelley decided to make both walls the same by adding new fixtures — counters, pegboard, and shelving. The result is a store that is designed for customer ease in shopping with modern, up-to-date .fixtures which add a brightness to the store, he said. 20% OFF The 1873 building that houses Kelley's Variety Store in Nashville is getting a face lift on the inside. Workers shown as they complete part of the extensive remodeling project which called for the complete replacement of the north wall. Because of the closeness of the neighboring building, the work had to be done inside the store.

Winter activities on told his readers in December 1873. Other early winter ad­ ventures on the river are reflected in a December 1880 account: “The Thornapple river is solidly frozen over, and is an exceedingly busy place, patronized by small boys with skates attached to older their feet and characters with fishing The river dam was kept in repair by many who profited from the millpond it created, including local ice men, with the village also "chipping in." Dip net fishermen reaped a rich harvest below the dam each spring. The old iron bridge, faintly visible at center in this 1920's photo, was replaced with a concrete span in 1934. (Photo loaned, courtesy Leah Wolroth Partridge) Water so clear you could see bottom at the river bridge drew bathers to the Thornapple in Nashville's early days. Young men found it great sport to dive offf the high railing of the old iron bridge on North Main. Another favorite "swimming hole" was below the dam, near the old ball diamond. Swimmers pictured about 1910, probably near the old mill, were left to right: Martin Graham, Kent Nelson, Harry Williams, and Carl Lentz. (Photo (Photo loaned, loaned, courtesy courtesy Vern Vern Stoup) Stoup) tackle.” The writer also noted that “some very fine large pike have been pulled through the ice.” An important winter harvest on the river was ice, cut and stored for use in sweltering summer days ahead. “The drug stores and hotels are filling their ice houses with a good quality of ice, ten inches thick, from the river,” observed the News in January 1879. Springtime, the river became a magnet-drawing droves of sportsmen to its banks. “Will Gokay and Don Pember caught a blue heron in a steel trap on the river Saturday, taking the bird alive and unharmed,” revealed the News in April 1898. A year later, another popular sport was chronicled: “The banks of the river are lined with dip nets, and some fine catches have been made.” Ten years later, dip netting was still attracting sportsmen to the Thornapple. “The dip net fishermen below the dam have been reaping a rich harvest the past several days,” advised the News in April 1908. “Saturday, suckers were taken out by the basketful and nearly everyone who visited the dam carried home a string of fish.” Summertime, and river activity flourished. “Will Irland caught eight pickerel in the millpond Wednesday afternoon in two hours, by trolling,” reported the News in June 1901. “They weighed from three to five pounds each.” .. . nm.iQin A traditional summertime harvest on the Thornapple was turtles, as explained in an August 1906 News ac­ count: “Last year a great many turtles were shipped from this place, while this year very few have been shipped. They are caught in traps in the river here, packed in barrels and shipped to Pittsburg, where they form the chief ingredient of soup served at hotels and restaurants.” “The turtles are shipped alive and are said to make the trip very comfortably,” noted the writer, adding an austute observation^ “Reason for lack of action in this local industry is said to be lack of turtles, and one wonders if there is not also a lack of turtle soup in Pitt­ sburg.” Adventure and commerce notwithstanding, summer also brought woes along the banks of the Thornapple, at least to some, as evidenced by E. D. Williams “Notice to Fishers” published in the News, June 1898: “People coming in the river near my premises will please bring bait, lines, and poles, as my supply of fishing tackle and bait is used up, tools for digging bait lost or stolen, my time occupied filling up holes made by people digging for bait, or trying to keep my fences and yards in repair, and therefore cannot find time to wait on all, and my means are too limited to furnish free fishing tackle to the public, or to hire a hand to dig bait.” Nature, as well as man, occasionally played havoc on the Thornapple in summer’s intense heat. In August 1878 the News recounted one such incident which reached the ears of village fathers: “Sam Durkee appeared before the village council Monday evening with a claim for $7.50 for collecting and disposing of dead fish floating on the millpond recently, when the hot weather killed the finny population by the hundreds for a day or so. The village fathers decided Sam per­ formed the service on his own initiative, without being properly commissioned by the municipal authorities, and therefore has no legal claim for remuneration. However, they awarded him 75 cents.” On occasion, village fathers also became in­ volved in controlling uses of the Thomapple. One such incident may have bordered on the scandalous at the time. In July 1904, village president L. E. Lentz issued the following admonition in the News: “Parties who have been making a practice of bathing at the river bridge without bathing suits are hereby warned and notified to stop this practice, otherwise the village authorities will prosecute all such violation of the or­ dinance prohibiting such practices.” Boating was another summer recreation that drew early Nashville residents to the river, though many opted to go to Thor­ napple lake instead to pursue the sport. Sometimes they would head up river from the lake, a practice which ap­ parently exasperated a News reporter in June 1881: Continued on page 11. row®d UP the river" where it was said mosquitoes would °ut of a mortal in 61 minutes."

Other Fair honors earned by Kellie include: second and reserve champion fitting and showing, first and grand champion western pleasure, and a second in horsemanship. (Photo supplied) Memories of the Past, continued Kim Haas is shown with her horse which helped win third in fitting and showing; second in western pleasure, and third in horsemanship. She is a Vermontville area resident. (Photo supplied) “The question before the assembly today is as follows: Why it is that the majority of the young folks who go boating on Thor­ napple lake row up the river, where the mosquitoes, it is said, will suck the life blood out of a mortal in just 61 minutes.” If pesky insects weren’t enough to worry the writer, by August 1903 the paper was fretting over a potential health hazard lurking in the millpond. “We believe the people of Nashville within a few years will insist that the upper millpond be drained and the land dried up and reclaimed,” predicted the News. “It is extremely fortunate that some serious epidemic has not already struck the village, and the reason, most likely, is that prevailing winds are from the southwest and thus blow the disease germs from the stagnant water the other direction.” More than a quarter century later the millpond remains, with no dire effects despite the News’ gloomy forecast. Over the years the dam creating the millpond has been maintained and restored to preserve the backlog of water, originally designed to power turbines at mills that were the mainstay of early Nashville industry. Often the repair work was done by those who profited, at least in some way, from its existence. “The /dam is being repaired and rebuilt,” noted the News in November 1905, “the work and expense being shared by the ice men, cold storage men and the village, the latter chipping in $25 toward the cost.” Perhaps the most colorful use of tributary, however, had little to do with leisure or livelihood. “Sunday saw another crowd of people baptized in the river,” observed the News in July 1878. “Let the good work continue and soon there will not be a sinner left in Nashville." The 4-H Special Riding Program has completed a very successful Spring and Summer session. It is hoped that we might run a short fall program, riding one day a week during parts of Sep­ tember and October. Riding lessons take place in Fowler’s Field, just across the road from the Eaton Intermediate School District offices on E. Packard Hwy,, north of Charlotte. Volun­ teers are needed to lead horses and walk along side the riders, giving support and aiding balance. Volunteers are also needed to saddle and bridle horses, as well as help students with special harnesses and helmets. Volunteers need not have horse experience. A brief training session will run prior to the first riding session. Horses and ponies are also needed. Animals need to be quiet and easy-going. It helps if they have a smooth, comfortable trot All horses are screened prior to being accepted to the program. If you could help one day a week,' or even part of a day each week for the fall program, or if you have a horse or pony that can be used, please call one of the following people; Kathy Whaley, 543-3646, Nola Buck, 543-2681; Jan Tirrell, 543­ 2310.

A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative ENERGY TIPS - If you are in the process of buying or building a home, you should pick up a new publication from the Energy Administration in the Department of Com­ merce. The booklet details important considerations to keep in mind when purchasing or building an energy-efficient home. Call the energy toll-free hotline: 1-800-292-4704. RAIN PERMITS - Rainmaking or precipitation enhan­ cement, as it is sometimes called, won’t be allowed this year unless farmers first have a permit. Until permanent rules are written under the Weather Modification Act, farmers will first have to file the details of their project with the State Department of Agriculture. HALF-GALLONS - Gasoline pumps unable to register prices above 99.9 cents per gallon will now be permitted to compute prices based on the half-gallon price under an emergency regulation which recently took effect. The regulation implemented to handle about 70 percent of the State’s older style pumps which can’t accomodate today’s prices. SPEED POINTS - The House is currently considering a Senate Bill which would assess penalty points for exceeding the 55 mph speed limit. Supporters believe it’s the best way of ensuring compliance with that more energy efficient speed limit. HIRING HELP - Legislation providing an incentive for small businesses to hire additional employees and thereby reduce our State’s unemployment rate has been introduced in the Senate. The bill would allow small businesses to in­ crease their work forces without facing increases in their single business tax. CODE CHANGES - Michigan drivers will be the winners under a new simplified traffic code. Infractions of basic rules of the road such as illegal turns and running red lights will now be classified as civil infractions instead of misdemeanors. The result will be a drastic reduction of court appearances for such violations. ACCIDENTS DOWN - It may be too early to make a valid assessment about the success of Michigan’s new drinking age law but the latest news from the Michigan State Police is encouraging. Latest figures show a decrease of 24 percent in alcohol-related accidents in the target group of 18 to 20 year old drivers. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, August 8, 1979 — Page 14 CB News and Wonder ‘Woman last week.

Fourty-five 4-H members and adult chaperones from Eaton County spent ten days in June and July visition 4-H members and their families in Adams County, Penn­ sylvania on the first of a twopart interstate exchange program sponsored by the 4­ H office. The group left Charlotte on June 24th and drove straight through, arriving in Adams County around 9:00 p.m. that evening. Each 4-H member and chaprerone spent the next nine days in the home of a 4-H member or leader out there, learning about the family and its involvement in 4-H. While there, our 4-Hers were taken on an Agricultural business tour of Adams County, treated to a day at Hershey Park and Chocolate World (an amusement park akin to Cedar Point), toured the Gettysburg Battlefield, and took a trip into Washington, D.C. where they had the opportunity to visit wuth their Congressional Representative, the Honorable Howard Wolpe. All participants from this year’s trip will be hosting the 4-H member whose family they stayed with next summer. The interstate exchange offers an excellent opportunity to learn about life and 4-H in another part of the country. Those participating in this years exchange included; Kelly Cowell. Karen Haas, Janice and Mark Siple, and David Brand of Ver­ montville. Pickle processing a “must” By Margaret Ann Ross, Extension Home Economist Pickling is an art that predates recorded history. A “pickle” is any fruit, vegetable, meat or com­ bination, preserved primarily by using vinegar and-or salt. They may be honeyed , dilled, spiced, fermented, brined or wined, according to Eaton Home Economist Ann Ross. Vegetable pickles may be cured by fermentation for several weeks or by a quick brining process. It is impertative NOT to use iron, brass, copper, zinc (galvanized) or unclean aluminum pots for pickling since these may chemically react with the acids and salts of the pickling mixture. Use enamel ware, stainless steel, glassware or crocks. It is important to use vinegar that is 4 to 6 percent acetic acid. It may be a shock to seasoned pickle makers, but most agree with the United States Department of Agriculture that all pickled products should be heat processsed as a safty measure. If you’d like the latest USDA pickling directions, stop by or call the Eaton County Extension office, 126 N. Bostwick in Charlotte. Auto Service CENTER as possible!

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Vol. 106, No. 12 - Wednesday, August 15, 1979 Truckers protest Nashville's ban on semi parking Truckers and family members representing 16 auto transporters and in­ dependent haulers living in and around Nashville were present at Thursday’s council meeting to protest the recent adoption of a village ordinance banning parking of semi-tractors or trailers on a newly­ resurfaced business district parking lot. Village officials adopted the resolution two weeks ago to prevent damage to the new asphalt surface of the village-owned lot, graded and paved in July at the cost of $26,300. Federal revenue sharing funds paid the majority of the cost. Prior to the resurfacing project, the truckers had made a regular practice of using the lot as an informal terminal, parking their rigs there between trips. The spot on which they had previously parked is now blacktopped and designated as a traffic lane around 120 delineated auto parking spots. Acting as spokesman for the truckers, Michael J. Fisher of Nashville claimed the drivers’ investigation of the new surface showed it was “built better than a Class A highway.” “Anything that went across it could do no damage to that,”. Fisher told the council. Trustee Lonny Kienutske said he realized the paving was of Class A quality but that “driving on it is not (the same as) parking on it.”Fisher confirmed that as many as seven rigs have been parked at one time in the old lot, and on rare oc­ casions there could be more than that number. Rig length is 65 ft. and loaded weight estimates, according to trucker John Sulcer of rural Vermontville, would be approximately 68,000 lbs. per rig. Kienutske said he had heard past complaints from village residents about truckers parking in the lot. He claimed it had become a congestive problem, par­ ticularly for wintertime snow removal by the village’s Department of Public Works. “We hope to keep this (new' lot cleared off,” explained Kienutske. “There are limited number of parking spaces in the lot and we are trying to orientate the people of Nashville to park back there.” The lot is ad­ jacent to rear entryways of many Main Street stores. Fisher conceded the village is not obligated to provide parking space for the rigs, but said he hoped the truckers and village officials could work out a reasonable solution for the economic benefit of Nash-ville. Sulcer estimated the truckers spend 95 percent of their spendable income in the community. Trustee Ray Hinckley suggested an unpaved area adjacent to the lot could be graveled and used by the truckers, at the drivers’ expense. “We’ll do the best we can,” Village President Harold Christiansen told the truckers. He said the council would take the matter under advisement to work out a fair solution, and would probably have an answer for the truckers within the month, In other business, Christiansen appointed a committee of Trustees Kienutske, Hinckley, and Ted Spoelstra to meet with Donald Langham, a village resident seeking remuneration for repair he did on a drain line on his property. Langham claimed the storm drain, which is . actually being used as a by the village sewer line l broke 16 years ago, spewing raw sewage into a minnow pond of his former bait shop. Langham repaired the line at his own expense, he said, to stop pollution of his minnow pond which he has since converted into a swimming pool. Langham’s septic system does not run into the drain, but other homes in the area do. He is also seeking settlement for a 75 ft. easement across his property, where the drain line runs into the Thornapple River.. In other action, the council agreed to offer for sale, by sealed bid, the old Riverside Mill-site property on North Main. The Village acquired ■ the property in 1974 in order to retain control of the Thornapple River dam. The old mill structure was razed by the village in August 1977. Cash bids over $7,000 will be accepted by the village clerk until 5 p.m., Sept. 13. The village will reserve, an easement to - the dam for purposes of maintenance, and also reserved the right to accept or reject any or all bids. A one-year option on the property expired July 31, and was not renewed. In other business, village attorney David Dimmers was present to explain an ordinance, subsequently adopted by the council, to amend the village traffic code to comply with a new state law which takes minor traffic violations out of criminal courts. Under the new regulations, only the most serious traffic offense will be considered criminal Ballots arrive for special Sept 11 election Inspecting the printed ballots for Nashville's upcoming special election September 11 are election committee members (from left) Marsha Ainslie, chairman; Joyce Koetje, Sharon Green, Phyllis Rizor, and standing) Village Clerk Susan Corkwell. Voters will be asked to give approval for the village "to undertake a grant and bond program in the approximate amount of 4.8 million dollars for purposes of acquiring and construction improvements to the village's sewer system consisting of plant and sewer line improvements and extensions of which it is anticipated that 3.5 million dollars will be federal and state grants and the remainder village bonds.." The local share of the project, approximately 1.3 million, would be financed by a bond issue with voter approval. (Maple Valley News photo by Virginia Alles) violations. Others will be handled as civil infractions, with the cited motorist given the - option of accepting or rejecting responsibility for the violation. A denial of responsibility will result in an informal hearing before a referee, or a formal hearing before a magistrate is specifically requested. In other action, the council agreed to apply for federal “critical bridge” funds through the Michigan Department of Tran­ sportation to replace the Francis Street bridge. Thursday’s action is only a preliminary step and does not obligate the village to, accept a 90 percent grant which may be offered for estimated $135,000 project.

The half-day seminar, one of eight held throughout the state this month, takes place at the Grand Rapids Holiday Inn, 270 Ann Street, at 9 a.m. The program is designed to help police comply with state requirements that adult school crossing guards receive four hours of training and two hours of annual review from local officers in traffic control, first aid and other skills. Persons attending also will review formulas to deter­ mine where guards are most needed and will receive new federally mandated reflectorized hand-held stop signs and highly visible orange-and-white-striped guard vests.

August 15, 1979 — Poge 2 Nashville News “Nashville Bucks”, a retail promotion instituted by the local Chamber of Commerce last March, will end this fall. Merchants have set Sept 1st as the last day they will issue the “Bucks” coupons, which have been redeemable at local service stations for free gasoline. Under the original plan, coupons were issued at the rate of one for every $5 purchase from a participating Nashville store, and 40 coupons could be exchanged for ten gallons of gas. In order to draw the promotion to a successful conclusion, the stations have agreed to honor 20 coupons in exchange for five gallons of free gas so that folks who have been saving the “Bucks”, but have less than the required 40, will still benefit However, no amount less than 20 will be honored. Merchants have set October 1st as the last day “Nashville Bucks” may be redeemed for gas, so ifyou have a backlog of coupons you’ve been hoarding, be sure to take note of this deadline. The coupons are redeemable at both Powers* Shell and Fargo Service Station. The community extends a hearty welcome to Roy and Elaine Johnson who recently moved to Nashville from Montana, and have taken up residence at the Maple Valley Arms apartments. Johnson, a 1977 graduate of Hope College, is the new band director for Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School.

Third District Congressman Howard Wolpe was in Nash­ ville last Thursday forenoon to give his constituents an opportunity to bend his ear about various issues at hand, the most pressing being the energy crisis. Wolpe arrived in Nashville in a mobile office which he parked on Main Street, opposite Central Park, but spent most ofhis time here on the sidewalk to greet folks walking by. Many stopped to offer ideas and opinions which may aid Wolpe when he returns to Washington. Some asked questions. Councilwoman Helen Curtis took Wolpe a copy of the June 20th Maple Valley News which featured a story on a local senior citizen’s drive to get door-to-door mail delivery in Nashville. Wolpe told Curtis he would look into the problem and contact her later after research into the situation.

I want to share with you one of our recent “glamorous” experiences. We should have suspected what our weekend was going to be like from that Friday morning greeting at the Lansing airport. Instead of the usual “Hello, Congressman Wolpe,” we heard, “Congressman, we will start a search for your suitcase right away.” This was our first family trip since Howard’s January swearing-in. I wanted to spend the time going everywhere with Howard to get a sense of his working weekends. Our son, Michael, wanted to visit friends and his old school. The meetings and visits were stimulating and fun, but we proceeded to have three surprise-packed days of behind-the-scenes comedy which no one could have anticipated. The home we own in Delta Township is rented, so Howard’s normal working weekend custom is to stay overnight with friends. This time, however, our whole family was thoughtfully offered a tiny hideaway cottage on a lake south of Battle Creek. Now, this was that unusual April weekend when the temperature dropped to 20 degrees. It began to snow around 1:00 a.m. just as we found the cottage, an inviting little place with a snow- brightened night view of the lake. It had other unexpected features: no heat, no elec­ tricity, and a toilet that wouldn’t flush! “Glamorojis,” I remember giggling to myself. “That’s what this' life is. Glamorous!” We decided we could get through the next few hours. After all, what else...? Well, “What else?” turned out to be the waterbed! A COLD waterbed! Neither of us had ever slept on one before, and it quickly became clear that we were going to spend the night wide awake and seasick. And cold! I remember that night well. I listened to the water sounds. From the lake. From the bed. I wondered if water beds froze. I wondered if frozen water beds split. And I thought of Admiral Byrd and the North Pole. Instead of counting sheep, I counted penquins. Adventure. Glamour. At the Kalamazoo airport on Sunday, after travelling the district all weekend in the back of a camper-van, we sat down with the other waiting passengers, many of whom obviously recognized Howard. A man approached us with a clipboard in his hand. “Hello, may I ask you a few questions for a poll we’re taking among our passengers?” Almost every person watched and listened to the questions and answers in that small, quiet waiting room. “How often do you fly out of Kalamazoo?,..How long did it take you to get to the airport today?...Why are you flying to Chicago?” “CHICAGO??!! But we’re going to Detroit!” Every hand in the room pointed in unison -put the door, and people were saying, “They called that flight a long time ago.” We flung ourselves out into the cold air. Two planes. No visible ramps. Armed with a memory of the “Friendly Pilot” picture in one of our son’s old children’s books, I led the charge across the apron, ran up alongside the cockpit of one of the planes, and started waving for at­ tention. A very shocked pilot stared down at me and then slowly - you won’t believe this! - slid open his cockpit window to see what I wan­ ted! ! (You didn’t know cockpits had sliding windows, either!) I asked him if he were going to Detroit, and this Friendly Pilot said, yes, but that we should go to the tail of the plane. There, sure enough, was the stair ramp. I don’t know why we weren’t arrested on suspicion of trying to hijack the plane, or at least for hitch-hiking. Glamorous. That’s what this life is. Glamorous!. Oh, and by the way, Howard’s suitcase was found a week later - in Lansing!

August 15, 1979— Page 6 No gasoline shortage was noted when Nashville’s first auto appeared on the scene, but that’s not to say those early years of the “horseless carriage” were entirely carefree. Local history was made in mid-February 1902 with the arrival of the first car in Nashville, an event proudly announced by the News: “J. C. Hurd is riding ground town on a Thomas Auto-Tri, the first automobile to be used in the village. It is a three-wheeled affair, run by gasoline, and has great speed.” However, a short two weeks later, readers were apprised of a subsequent misadventure between man and machine: “Fred White tried a spin on J. C Hurd’s Auto-Tri Monday and ran into a tree in front of his home, injuring a knee so badly that he has been confined to the house ever since.” But if the new fangled machines brought harm, they also were soon responsible for fetching speedy aid. Physicians became early and eagar fans of the internal-combustion engine. “Dr. A. F. Hutchinson has purchased an Oldsmobile, the first in town,” advised the News in October 1902, “and now visits his patients by gasoline instead of horse power.” The writeY noted that “the new vehicle is a beauty and is one of the most simple and serviceable on the market.” Within the year that Hurd made local history, a distaff member of the community was making giant strides forward in behalf of future generations of women drivers. “Glen H. Young returned from Lansing Friday evening with his new Old­ smobile, and is becoming quite proficient in its management;” he noted the News in November 1902. “Mrs. Young also is learning to run the machine and thus becomes Nashville’s first lady driver.” Motorists’ skills were often severly tested in those early years , when horse power continued to far outnumber gas-powered conveyances. “Charles Nease’s team was frightened by an automobile Tuesday morning and ran away, smashing the wagon and wrecking the harness almost beyond repair,” observed the News in August 1904, just one of a multitude of such incidents. “The owner of the auto, a Grand Ledge man, settled fairly for the damage,” noted the reporter. An irony of the era was recorded in an early-June 1906 issue of the News when it reported that “new iron hitching rails have been placed in front of McWha & Hecox’s saloon and billiard hall,” and in another story pointed out that “Joe Hurd has purchased an Olds runabout and is having lots of fun with it.” fiurd, erstwhile photographer, bicycle repairman and mechanic, brought several “firsts”. to Nashville. He has been credited with marketing such diverse innovations as Nashville's poineer "woman driver” took the wheel in 1902, just nine months after the first auto appeared in i the village. Mrs. Glen Young paved the way for future female motorists like Pauline Miller Downing, shown in 1920’s photo. ice cream cones and com­ mercially-made radios to the local community. In 1910 Hurd began selling automobiles in the village, becoming one of the first Ford dealers in this, area of Michigan. Later, he was considered one of the most successful small town auto dealers in the United States. Wayne Fuller, a Nashville native now of Toledo, recalls a Ford that his father brought from Joe Hurd in the early years. It had been driven through from Detroit and the cylinders were damaged due to the car getting too hot on the trip. “We used to have to stop and clean the plugs on about every short trip we made as they would get fouled up from the car pumping oil,” recalls Fuller. Other memories return. “I can still remember Dr. Shilling driving an apto buggy.” writes Fuller. It was a gasoline powered car that actually looked more like a buggy.” Fuller later remembers Shilling have a Franklin “air-cooled job” and Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin, recalls that his first automobile ride was in a Mitchell owned by the physician. “My mother took my sister and me to the doctor, probably about 1912 or 1913, and he took us for a ride,” reminisced Meade. “What a thrill.” The Meade children lived in the country, northwest of Nashville, and to see an auto on rural roads was quite a treat. “How we would run to see one pass the house, if we could hear the car coming down the^road,” recalls Meade. “And they were pretty noisy.” Prominent local citizens are often recalled in identity to the cars they drove in those early years. “Dr. Vance, the dentist, had an Imperial called the ‘Imp’, and Ray Townsend, who ran the elevator, had a Hudson Super Six,” remembers Meade. Fuller recalls Homer Downing and his Cadillac touring car. “I can still see him going down, Main Street with that car,* writes Fuller. Albert Lentz, of the Lentz Table Company family, lived on Main Street near the Putnam home (present-day library) and had a big J. C. (Joe) Hurd, left, introduced several "firsts” to Nashville including the auto, ice cream cone and commercially-made radio. In 1910 he opened the first Ford sales agency in this area. Gasoline was dispensed with funnel from wooden storage cabinet at left. Employees Ralph Olin and M. J. Hinckley, right,, are shown in 1916 photo. Old autos highlight modern-day Nashville parades but in 1911, when cars were new, they attracted even more attention.

"“He took some of us for a ride in that one afternoon, and I remember he got it up to 40 miles an hour on what is now Thornapple Lake Road,” writes Meade. “We thought we were flying.” Meade first learned to drive an Overland touring car his father purchased in 1916. In 1920 the family bought a Model T Ford. “Of course cars were a big thrill to bojrs in that period,” observed Meade. “We were envious ofthe older boys who migrated to Flint and Detroit to work in the auto plants because they had so much contact with cars even if they couldn’t afford to own one.” One of the earliest auto trips recalled by Adolph Douse, Jr. of Nashville in­ volved a journey to Charlotte, with a flat tire developing at the base of a hill on Lawrence Road, nearing Nashville. “You needed momentum to make a hill in those day,” recalls Adolph. An unex­ pected stop at the base of a hill posed a serious problem to low-powered vehicles. The auto finally scaled the rise, but not without some dif­ ficulty, Adolph remembers. And sometime, human error alone was the downfall of early motorists, as the News disclosed in June 1914. “If there is any one fellow in this section who knows alL about automobiles, that chap is Ed Liebhauser,” began the account, as the writer reiterated the knowledge Ed had gained from reading automotive publications, and dissecting and assembling his recently -purchased “high class touring car.” Satisfied he was competent in every particular to run the car, Liebhauser started out to see the scenery from a different viewpoint. “He got along pretty well until he was coming in from his Maple Grove farm,” continued the report “Ed had one foot on the speed, lever, touching it ever so lightly, but in coming down the Boston hill the speed of the car became somewhat accelerated by the declivity, and Ed thought he would put on the brake, but instead of shifting his foot from the speed lever he pushed it down.” “The car promptly showed Ed it was capable of doing something fancy in the speed line,” the writer observed, “and it cut loose a pace that so bewildered Ed he forgot he was steering a derailed locomotive and. gave the ' steering wheel a twist that switched him into the gutter at the side of the road, where the dangerous machine struck a snag and .turned turtle, throwing Ed half a city block.” Unhurt, except as to feelings, Ed came on. into town on foot but it took Bill Woodard and his stoneboat to bring in the machine, which had a badly smashed wheel and a few other marks of “high life on the road.” EATON COUNTY FARM AND HOME CALENDAR Wednesday, August 15-7:00 PM Twilight Soybean Meeting, Don and Donna Tirrell Farm, 676 W.

Corkwell, Village Clerk Wolpe says rationing here, In a sense’ U.S. Representative Howard Wolpe (front) and staffer Tim Hafner discussed energy problems and constituent's questions on a circuit through the Third Congressional District last week. Reminder writer accompanied Wolpe on part of the trip to obtain this interview. “I hope we’ll never see gas rationing,” said Rep. Howard Wolpe. “But in a sense,” he continued, “We have rationing by price now.” Wolpe said workers who travel long distances to antT from work must have fuel available to meet their needs should gasoline shortages or rationing occur. “It is terribly important the government have a plan ready for rationing should the necessity arise,” Wolpe commented. Such a plan should be set in motion by, “A major shortfall of production and-or imports,” he continued. Wolpe observed both house and senate versions of the gasoline rationing bill, now in conference committee, call for rationing to begin in the event of a 20 percent shortfall for 30 days. “A twenty percent short­ fall for thirty days could mean disaster for the country, Wolpe said. Wolpe thinks Americans would act in concert to conserve energy and develop Reward program designed to halt wild turkey kills The Michigan Wild Turkey Federation has paid their first $50.00 reward under a new program designed to halt the illegal killing of wild turkeys in Michigan. Dale Davis of East Lan­ sing, President of the Turkey Federation announced that Roscommon man who called conservation officers after witnessing Edward L. Green of Roscommon drive into a flock of 12 wild turkeys will be the first recipient of the reward. As Mr. X told the story to officers, Green hit the birds, then stopped and loaded three of them into his vehicle. The Turkey Federation guarantees anonymity to tipsters providing information to enforcement officers. “The high incidence of illegal killing is intolerable,” stated Davis. Legitimate sportsmen everywhere detest it and are committed to doing something about it. We in the Federation hope our reward program can in some small way make an impact on illegal activities. Until the average sportsman' declares war on the poacher, this menace will never be erased.” The Michigan Wild Turkey Federation is dedicated to restoration of the American wild turkey, improving the quality of sportsmen going afield, and the education of all people about the benefits of wildlife and a natural environment. Those wishing to display one of the special reward posters can by writing: Michigan Wild Turkey Federation, 2181Eifert, Holt, MI 48842. is denied, the House should take another look,” he commented. Asked why the President has been unable to obtain gy legislation g energy he deems imperative, Wolpe said , thee President’s staff is not proficient procent, “In the Washington atmosphere.” He said President Carter is a sincere, honest man who's, “Shown courage in taking on the tough issues.” “But I’m disappointed in the lack of leadership or direction on the part of the White House,” Wolpe con­ tinued, adding his belief the President is,, “Too insulated.” Wolpe said he won’t get involved in the Kennedy for President movement. “It diverts attention from the critical problems facing the nation now,” Wolpe said, then continued, “I don’t want to wait eighteen months to move on those problems — we have to turn this mess around.” PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS DIRECTORY LIMESTONE & MARL (Delivered and Spread) CRANEWQRK • Drdinage Ditches • Farm Ponds DARRELL HAMILTON Rt. 3, NASHVILLE PH. 852-9691 ST.

He. also noted oil is not a renewable resource and will certainly be expended sooner or later. “Developing alternative power sources is a must,” he said. Wolpe said he enjoys working in Congress and believes he was fortunate in being appointed to his present committees. He seryes on both Foreign Relations and Science and Technology committees. “I had some things going for o mee — I’d served as consultant to the State Department and the Peace Corps as a specialist in African affairs,” Wolpe said regarding his Foreign Affairs assignment. He cited a background in public utility regulation and energy while a member of the Michigan legislature as a reason for assignment to the Science and Technology committee. Wolpe observed, “Congress has opened up in a way not true some years ago — the institution isnow truly democratic.” Chair­ men of congressional committees now are elcted by secret ballot Wolpe said his biggest disappointment as a Congressman is the government’s, “Inability to make decisions.” Wolpe made his reputation in- politics as advocate of citizen’s rights. He is perhaps best known for expressing his belief people can change things. “Voters have to keep track of what their representatives do and advise them on the issues,” he said. Wolpe thinks special interests have the political ‘clout’ now, “But that is changing rapidly,” he ob­ served. Wolpe said he voted against the ouster of Rep. Charles Diggs pending, “Outcome of Diggs’ appeal,” on a conviction for taking kickbacks from his staff. Wolpe termed Diggs a “Discredit to the in­ stitution,” and said association with Diggs is, “One of the most unpleasant aspects of my work in Congress.” Wolpe said the most sacred principle in American politics is the right of the people to represen­ tatives of their choice. “Only three members have ever been removed all for treason.

August IS. 1979 — Page 10 West Virginia 4-H’ers enjoy Nashville hospitality By Susan Hinckley "Almost Heaven" are the words songwriter John Denver used to describe West Virginia in his smash hit, “Country Roads, Take Me Home.” Country roads that took three West Virginia 4-H youths home Saturday after a week’s stay with rural Nashville families, wind through picturesque hillside farms. Most of them are a good deal smaller than Barry County acreages, according to John Lucas, 16, of Grafton who was a guest WATER HEATERS GAS OR ELECTRIC 30 GUL 4 UP NASHVILLLE HARDWARE 105 NORTH MAIN ST. 852-0713 I J of the Earl Wilson family on Thornapple Lake Road. John lives on a 60-acre farm which bis father operates in ad­ dition to his full tjme job as a meat cutter at Grafton supermarket. Melodi Howdershelt, 16, of Valley Furnace, was a guest of the Bill Semrau family of S. Clark Road. She lives on a 248-acre dairy farm, one of the largest farms in Barbour County, and one of only 3 dairy operations there. Melodi said that country (secondary) roads in her region of the state are more often paved than she noted in Barry County. An art and photography enthusiast, Melodi brought along a stack of colorful seasonal photos she had taken of her home region to share with new­ found Michigan friends. John, Melodi, and Paula Jones, a 15-year-old from Philippi in Barbour County who was a guest of the Forest Rogers family at Barryville, were part of a contingent of 15 West Virginia 4-H’ers who came to When a bereaved family makes its first call at the funeral home for arrange­ ments, usually they are grief stricken, physically exhausted, frightened, not knowing what to expect or what is expected of them. It is a difficult time for both the family and the funeral director. We wish we could make the experience less devastating - there are no easy answers. V FUNERAL DnVCKMS 'Voqt FUNERAL HOME in Nashville Phone 852-0840 Barry County for a week­ long visit, as the first part of a 2-year exchange program between Barry County and West Virginia 4-H families. In some cases, the exchange may work out on a one-to-one basis, allowing a 4-H member of a hosting Barry County family to spend a week next summer with the guest’s family in West Virginia. All three of the youths visiting the Nashville area expressed amazement at the "flatness” of Michigan's terrain; they are used to a mountainous region they prefer to call "hilly”. John thought farming here would be much easier due to the level land. He was also impressed with what he considered the immense acreage (600 acres) farmed by the Wilson family. In John’s home, Taylor County, a 300-acre farm is considered large. There are a good many more dairy farms here, he noted, as there are only two in Taylor County. “We do not raise a lot of crops, just mostly gardens and some beef,” John ex­ plained. “Railroads and coal mines are the main em­ ployers in our area.” John was also amazed at the size of the equipment used on the Wilson farm. Due to hilly terrain in his home area, smaller scale farm machinery is used. John raises registered Angus heifers and shows them at yearly county fairs, much as Barry County 4H’ersdo.

The final session was held July 31. Storytellers were Hildred Peabody, Brenda Fisher, Dorothy Carpenter, Roz Lingholm, Linda Ramey, Mary Fisher, Jill Booher, Nancy Brown, and Heather Brown. Two very successful programs were the full length Walt Disney movies which were shown. The first was held at the library, but because of the huge "turnaway” crowd, the second was held in the Griswald Room of the Congregational Church. More than 120 at­ tended each movie, ac­ cording to estimates. (Editor’s note — Portions of this article which first appeared in last week’s Maple Valley News were inadvertently omitted).

When the spunky Ver­ montville lady was quizzed at her 99th birthday celebration Friday about her secret of longevity she quickly replied, “Being happy, I guess.” Mrs. Freida Laurent of Nashville, a niece to Mrs. Barnes’ late husband, Arza, added, “Aunt Mina is always smiling, no matter how ill or sad she may be.” It was at the Kinsel High­ way farmhouse where Arza was born and raised that Friday’s event was staged. The home is now the residence of another niece to Arza, Mrs. Luman (Fern) Surine. In addition to Mrs. Surine and Mrs. Laurent, others present at the party were Mr. and Mrs. Talbert Curtis of Vermontville; Mrs. Mabel Barnes of Lauderhill, Florida; and Mrs. Veda Guy of Nashville. (Mrs. Curtis is a niece-in-law to Mina, and Mabel is a cousin-in-law). “Mina is witty and full of fun,” observed Mrs. Guy, a friend who cares for her while she resides at the home of a niece, Mrs. George (Greta) Firster of Ver­ montville. “Mina has lots of friends and visitors,” noted Mrs. Guy, “and even though she uses a walker to get around, she still makes her own bed.” Mina Harvey was born August 17,1880 at Van Wert, Ohio and came to Michigan when she was “about three or four,” as she recalls. She came from a large family, four brothers and four Continued on page 9 New pumper-tanker arrives in Nashville A bright shiny traditional red-colored fire truck is in service at the CastletonMaple Grove Townships-Nashville Fire Department.

W*dn**doy, Avgv»l 22.1979 — Pop* 2 Nashville News The World of Walt Disney will soon come to life near Nash­ ville, at least in a small way. The recent 2-part Disney production of “Justin Morgan Had a Horse”, aired on consecutive Sunday evenings, August 12th and 19th, has prompted nationwide members of the Morgan Horse Association to stage “Open Barns” to allow the public free viewing of their animals, said to be America’s first dist­ inctive breed. Participating locally will be Herbert and Roxie Andler, owners of Maple Leaf Morgan Horse Farm on Guy Road. Interested persons are encouraged to stop out at the Andler place on August 26th (an “Open Barn” was also held there this past Sunday) to see their Morgan horses and also to view buggies custom-made by Herbert. Production of the carriages has also been recently recorded by a television camera, as Andler’s unusual occupation was the subject of an “On the Michigan Road with Dick Evans” feature, aired by Channel 8 of Grand Rapids earlier this year. Mrs. Arthur (Mabie Frith) Drake entered Pennock Hospital last Monday. Please take time to cheer her with a card. Nashville firemen were called to the home of Mrs. Ruth Williams of Kellogg Street last Tuesday evening, about 11 p.m., when the house filled with smoke. Upon arrival at the scene, the firefighters discovered a plugged chimney which was clogged from a residual buildup. The firemen used a portable fan to clear smoke from the residence, and carried the offending space heater and stove pipe outdoors. An at­ tempt to clear the plugged chimney with a crowbar was unsuccessful. The Nashville Fire Dept is very proud to announce the arrival of a new fire truck, a 1979 Ford$8000 pumper-tanker. A fully equipped caterpillar diesel, the new “fire wagon” has a 750 mid-ship pump and carries 2,500 gallons of water. Fire Chief Doug Yarger and Assistant Chief Larry Decker made a two-day trip to Appleton, Wisconsin last week to pick up the truck at the Pierce Fire Apparatus Company.

It was policed by the Barry County Sheriffs Dept A less serious incident summoned the Nashville am­ bulance to Butler Road, east of M-66 south of Nashville shortly after 10 p.m. Sunday, August 12. A man walking along the road was struck by an off-road motor bike driven by a young lad. Neither was seriously hurt and the am­ bulance returned to town, no transport being necessary.

The recent wedding of Marcia McMillen of San Jose, California, to Tom Cislo of Detroit, brought a houseful of company to the home of the bride’s grandparents here, Mr. and Mrs. Keith McMillen of Nashville. Marcia’s parents, Connie and Marie McMillen of San Jose, arrived a week before the August 11th wedding at Woodland’s Zion Lutheran Church. Marcia’s aunt, Susan McMillen Lamie of Oklahoma City, arrived on a flight to Lansing two days prior to the ceremony.

Employees of Nashville’s Wastewater Treatment Facility received a Safety Award of Merit last week from the Michigan Water Pollution Control Association for their safety accomplishments during 1977. The award is presented annually to a Michigan wastewater treatment facility in recognition of effective management and safe operations. The daily operations in a treatment facility involves many hazards which could result in serious per­ sonal injury or illness, even death to employees and-or the public. It is the mark of a highly efficient team, supervisors and employees, who have worked “safe enough” to earn the Merit Award of Safety, which indicated there were no ac­ cidental deaths and no lost workday cases during the year. Recent.Wednesday afternoon callers on Mrs. Edith Jones of Nashville were Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Baker of Lansing; Mr. and Mrs. Issac Nesman of Grand Ledge; and Mr. and Mrs. Norman Daniel, also of Grand Ledge. Mrs. Herfnan(Catherine)Maurer and son of Jackson were Tuesday afternoon callers of Mr. and Mrs. Vern Hawblitz.

Elton and Cherie Decker of Lyndon, Kansas were honored at a 25th wedding anniversary reception at the United Methodist Church in Nashville Sunday, August 5. The event was hosted by Elton’s family, the Ard Deckers of Nashville and children. Elton, a 1952 NHS grad, and his wife (a Kansas native) were in town for a 2-weeks visit. They were ac­ companied to Michigan by one of their four children. Many friends and relatives attended the festivities which served as sort of a dual anniversary celebration and “homecoming” for Elton. (Incidentally, in 1952 he became the first NHS recipient of the Franklin Baker award for “outstanding athlete of the.’year.”) Mrs. Naomi Watson and Mrs. Martha Lee, both of Nash­ ville, enjoyed a recent trip to Farwell in Clare County to visit friends, Mrs. Doris Ford and Mrs. Lydia Henderson. Wives of Nashville firemen were victorious over spouses of Delton firefighters in a waterball battle staged during Delton’s recent Founder’s Day celebration. Winning first place and bringing home a trophy for the local department were: Thelma Christopher, Karen Powers, Vicki Smith, Lorna Wilson, Teresa Decker, and Marabelle Yarger. Don’t forget an exciting waterball competition set for Sept. 16 at Sandyland Park here. Local firemen and their wives will challenge departments from throughout Barry County. Proceeds of the event, which also includes three hours of muscial entertainment, will be split three ways.

The 1976 MVHS grad was also named first runner-up in the Miss National Pinto Queen contest staged at the weekend event. Poise, personality and “horse knowledge” were criteria for selecting the queen. The title of Miss Horsemanship was awarded to Kathi when she was judged the best rider and handler of her steed in various competition in western and English-style show riding. Prior to the St. Louis event, Miss Hughes had received the title of Miss Regional Pinto Queen in earlier competition. ; The 50th reunion of the Robert J.

Violation of any other provision of this ordinance not constituting a civil infraction, as herein provided, shall be punishable by a fine of not more than ninety (90) days or by both such fine and imprisonment.

The station was first housed in back of town hall, a Methodist Church building partially destroyed in an 1880 fire before it was purchased by the village and moved from the church site to Main Street. In a 1920's photo, Nashville fireman pose in front of the structure which was finally renovated as a full-scale station. In 1947 Castleton and Maple Grove Twps. were incorporated into the department and in recent years the old building was razed to construct a new station encompassing the site of the old town hall and adjacent blacksmith shop. mH leRh« *Me's *■•81 to ^®Ut 1] <*tewll ’^^Ct Rs •*?<?>> ■■•5Be?lt u„,a(®M (®siMii jjlgV> situ c*Wj Mt ® cats? wrics •IteLac us siren systems replaced primitive alarms, and in 1954 the Old fire bell which had been located atop the Maple Street tower (adjacent to the present-day Steakhouse) was placed bn the grounds of Putnam Library for dedication as a monument to comrades who had died while serving as firemen. Until 1947 the Nashville Fire Department was operated by the village. Perhaps a blow from the Great Depression caused a September 1930 notice in the News that “under an arrangement now in effect, the village’s rural fire truck will not respond to fire calls outside the village limits unless the person calling has a membership for this service. Membership may be had for $25.

Equipment, department housing, and training of volunteer fire .and am­ bulance personnel has been updated many times since Orno Strong’s day. But 75 years after the spunky writer pushed for village fire protection a modern-day editor of the Nashville News again took a stand in support of local firefighters. In November 1949 publisher Don Hinderliter wrote: “The Main Tavern fire early Monday morning was a striking example of the need of our fire department for im­ proved equipment for en­ tering smoke-filled buildings. If the firemen had been equipped with a couple Scott Air Pack outfits that Chief Charles J. Betts has long wanted the Fire Board to buy, two men could have gone in and found the blaze and squelched it in a matter of minutes-probably without having to use water.” Needless to say, Scott Air Packs are now standard fire department equipment in Nashville. Orno Strong would be proud. YEAS: Curtis, Hinckley, Kohfeldt, Spoelstra, Babcock, Kienutske ABSENT: None DATED: August 9, 1979- Hastings, Michigan I, Susan M.

From 9 to 4:30 Vermontville l^Ph. 726-0330z Nashville News continued— An old book sale, which should delight collectors as well as readers, will be sponsored by Nashville’s newly-formed Friends of the Library during Nashville’s 1979 Harvest Festival, set for the last weekend of September. At last Tuesday’s meeting of the FOL, Joy Peake was named general chairperson of the book sale event which will be held on the lawn of the library Sept. 28 and 29th. A share of the proceeds will go to the Friends group (the balance goes to Putnam Library) and the organization hopes to use funds raised toward purchase of a movie projector. Volunteer workers and donations of books for the Harvest Festival sale are being sought frbm community residents.' If enough funds are raised to acquire a projector, there is ho doubt the FOL will make good use of the equipment, to the special delight of many younsters in our community. The FOL was responsible for the recent and very successful Children’s Story Hour program at Putnam Library, which featured films along with many other fascinating and enlightening activities. Now the organization has scheduled a “films for children” event, this one to be held at Castelton Twp. Hall at 10:30 a.m. Thursday, August 23. Two or three movies are on the agenda, reports FOL secretary Laurie Kipp. All children, ages 3 and up, are welcome to attend the showing. Redecoration of the so-called “maid’s room” on the second floor of Putnam Library is another project being undertaken by the industrious FOL group. They are currently seeking volunteers who- know something about wallpapering so that walls of the small room can be refur­ nished. The library board recently decided the renovated room will house the rare book collection. These volumes, too valuable to be circulated, will be placed in glass cases for in­ library viewing. Congratulation to Mr. and Mrs. Thomas (Ann) Taylor of Nashville on the birth of a son last Tuesday, August 14, at Pennock Hospital. The new arrival weighed 8 lbs. 13 ozs. and has been named David Thomas. He was welcomed home by a two-and-a-half year old sister, Holly. Proud grandparents are Mrs. Jean Jensen of Jackson and Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Taylor of Kalamazoo. And David’s proud great­ grandmother is a very special Nashville lady, Mrs. J. Robert (May Rothhaar) Smith. M. Dewey Castelein, Jr. of Nashville was confined at Pennock Hospital a week ago last Saturday, due to com­ plications from emphysema. At this writing, he was reported in stable condition. Local readers will also be in­ terested to know that his father, M. Dewey Castelein, Sr., a former village resident now of Florida, has improved following a recent stroke and was able to return a short time ago to his daughter’s home at Clearwater. (She is Mrs. Dorothea Warren.) Prior to that time, Mr. Castelein had been residing in a nursing home there. Though improved, he will be unable to make his usual summer journey home to Michigan this year. Village trustee Lonny Kienutske made a presentation regarding the proposed new sewer project for the village to senior citizens at the Nashville Nutrition Site last Thursday afternoon. About 30 seniors were present for the program which gave them an opportunity to learn the background and terminology relating to the project. They also were told of the offered federal and state grants which will help pay over 80 percent of the costs. In addition, Kienutske explained to the senior citizens various loan and grant programs that are available to aid low and moderate income families with sewer hookups and other home improvement projects. Milk production down About all you can say about the Purina Calf Growing Program is... •it leaves you all your milk to sell • it grows heifers fast • it gets them ready to breed early But then, that says a lot. Purina’s six-month Calf Growing Pro­ gram combines fortified and medicated Purina Nursing Chow® or Purina NurseGrow, high-energy Calf Startena® and Purina Calf Growena® into a program geared strictly to fast, efficient growth. Heifers grow faster and reach breeding weight earlier. In fact you can have your heifers in the milking barn—producing— months ahead of many other heifers. And that means you can sell all your milk. Want the details? Stop by our Checker­ board store. Let us show you what the Purina Calf Program can do for you— and your heifers. Farmer’s Feed Service 1006 E. Railroad St., Hastings Phone 94S-9926 Purina... planning tomorrow with research today Michigan milk production for July declined 2 percent from last year, due mainly to fewer milk cows on farms. Output slid to 402 million pounds as cow numbers declined by 10,000 to 394,000 head, according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service. On a per head basis, production remained the same as a year ago at 1,020 pounds, but was down 1 percent from June. Hot and dry weather conditions in the. State for July are blamed for lower productivity. Pastures were below average in some areas due to the dry weather. Nationally, July milk production was 10.7 billion pounds, up 2 percent from a year ago, the largest gain over the previous year since November 1977. Production per cow averaged 997 pounds, 23 pounds over July of last year. Cow numbers, at 10.7 million head are down 1 percent. For Michigan dairy products, butter and cheese production both declined in June while ice cream output was virtually unchanged from a year ago at 3,700,000 gallons. The 3,000,000 pounds of butter and 2,000,000 pounds of cheese manufactured resulted in declines of 1 percent and 8 percent, respectively.

Details of the new procedures are outlined below. ATTENDANCE POLICY Because of the recognition that attendance at school is necessary for success, minimum attendance requirements will be initiated in order to receive credit towards a diploma. Under the attendance policy, a student may not be absent from a class more than twelve (12) times during a semester. Absences beyond twelve (12) in any one class will result in no credit in that class for that semester.

A native of Chicago, she received her education in Illinois. She has two children who attend Maplewood: Tara, 8, and Bryan, 6. New faces at Maplewood Elementary School in Vermontville are (left) Robin Asma who will be involved with emotionally impaired children in special education and Laurie Fox who will be a resource teacher working with learning disabilities. For the first time, teachers' names have been painted above the doors at Fuller in bold letters to make room identification a snap. Jerry Banfield brushes on the final letter over this door. Jerry's also been busy painting the walls in the hall. They are now a cheerful, warm ole orange accented with apricot. Readying classrooms are a big job for both custodians and teachers who have been busy, days before stu­ dents arrive, decorating bulletin boards and adding other warm welcome touc­ hes. Stan Graham is shown: putting the chairs in place. SOMETHING NEW HAS BEEN ADDED — These new smiling faces greeted students this week at Maple Valley Junior-Senior High School. They are shown with Principal Burr Hartenburg, back row-from left, Carole Bustamante, guidance counselor; Kathy Sniegowski, business; Lynn Buiko, Spanish and reading; Linda Johnson, home economics; and (seated) Norma Peterson, Jr. and Sr. High English; Roy Johnson, instrumental music; Robert Losik, in-school suspension room; and Marge Wolff, part-time business education.

Wedneidof August 29 1979 — Poge 2 Nashville News Country artisit Tom T. Hall, noted for his storytelling in song, drew a record-sized crowd to Sandy land Park Sunday, August 19. Musk lovers flocked to the park despite threatening clouds to hear the entertainer whore unique down-to-earth songwriting talent has earned him the title “Poet of the Common Man.” Fortunately, Sunday’s rain held off until after both the afternoon and evening per­ formances were completed. Hall made a special hit with the audience when he invited two youngsters on stage to help with a couple numbers, including his famous “I Love.** For all the children in the audience be sang “Sneaky Snake.” The multi-talented artist played five musical instrumentsthe banjo, guitar, harmonica, piano, and saxophone-to accompany his vocal renditions during Sunday's show. Neighborliness at Howard Point on Thomapple Lake is a big thing, and has been celebrated by an annual gathering there for the past several years. Sunday, cottage owners at Howard Point again gathered for the potluck dinner event, this time in the yard of Joel and Gladys Hummel’s summer place. Forty-four were present for the affair. Nashville firemen were scheduled to undergo training this past Sunday to learn operation of the new Ford pumper­ tanker recetnly acquired by the local fire department. In half-hour shifts, two men at a time were to go through a briefing session on proper handling of equipment on the new rig. Remember the public hearing scheduled for Thursday evening, August 30, at Castleton Township Hall regarding the proposed new sewer project. Time is 8:00 p.m. Evidence of the recent Mexican oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was spotted by Mrs. Gloria Johncock of Nashville, who returned home last Wednesday evening after a week­ long Texas visit.

Main — NASHVILLE PHONE:852-9747 By Susan Hinckley an a flight from Detroit Virginia and husband Bill had recently been in Michigan visiting relatives, and Bin had flown home a week earlier. In Texas, Gloria enjoyed a multitude of fascinating tours but one special sight caught her eye-a porpoise seemingly leading an oil tanker into Galveston Bay. On the beach at Galveston, Gloria saw signs of the oil slick which recently arrived on the Texas coast but it did not spoil her visit to the beautiful and historic island city. At Houston she saw the Astrodome; the Johnson Space Center (NASA); the Galleria Complex, a huge multi-level mall centered with an ice skating rink, adjacent to the Houston Oaks Hotel. A trip to the zoo and an immense flea market were also on the agenda, as was a rodeo at an indooor arena near Houston. A daily dip in a swimming pool at the Cox’s apartment complex helped relieve the 90-degree t temperatures there. The flight home was pleasant but Gloria’s arrival at Kent County International Airport was a little hectic. Four chartered planes carrying 1700 Calvin College students home from an Oregon excursion landed at the same time, creating quite a hubbub in the terminal. Gloria was greeted by her daughter and family, Suzy and Larry Corkwell and daughters, Lisa and Becky. Mrs. Bertha Becker of Nashville was a Sunday and Monday guest last week at the home of her granddaughter and family, Mr. and Mrs. Roger Hardenburg of Eagle. From Monday through Wednesday, Mrs. Becker visited her sister, Mrs. Eileen Neitzel at Greenville. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald (Gertrude) Montgomery of Thornapple Lake enjoyed a recent visit from their children for sort of a family reunion. Their daughter and her family, Kay and Dennis Collier and four sons of South Bend. Indiana where here for a week-long stay. During the Colliers’ visit the Montgomery's son Gene and His wife, Pat flew in from Houston, Texas to join the family. Rev. Leonard Putnam of the Nashville United Methodist Church returned home last week on a flight from Texas after a visit with his daughter Sally Putnam, at Houston. While Rev. Putnam was in the southland his wife, Amy, was serving as a counselor at a United Methodist Conference Camp at Crystal Springs near Dowagiac. The camp was conducted for special education youngsters. Of interest to local readers will be the news that Rev. "Bing” Crosby, formerly of the Nashville United Methodist Church and now pastor at Cassopolis, conducted a devotional service at the camp and served as a counselor. Sunday, September 9th, has been designated “Three Score and Ten” day at the Nashville United Methodist Church, to honor senior citizens who are 70 and over. The seniors will receive recognition at morning worship service and also at a 12:15 p.m. dinner in the church Community House. The program for the event will be presented by Ed and Edna Smith. The Nashville United Methodist Women will meet at the home of Mrs. Grace Marisch on North Mason Road, Wed­ nesday, September 5th. Election of officers for 1980 is scheduled for the 7:30 p.m. event An August birthday party for residents at the Provincial House in Hastings was staged last Wednesday afternoon by members of the Nashville Baptist Church and friends. Cathy Vessecchia played guitar and sang; Kenny Meade, Jr. played the banjo and his sons vocalized; Dixie Brand of rural Vermontville delighted the audience with a clown act; and Kim and Jennifer Tutt, daughters of Ronald and Joan Tutt of Nashville, also sang. Assisting in the whole affair were Marie Fisher of Nashville, Bernice Leonard of near Hastings; Mrs. Tutt; and Sandy Priddy of this village, who made a special birthday cake for the event and presented it to the folks at the nursing home. Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville attended the annual Wonser family reunion held at Putnam Park Sunday. Several family members were present from the Eaton Rapids and Charlotte area. Mr. and Mrs. Gene Mater of rural Nashville hosted a family dinner in honor of Gene's birthday Sunday. Present in addition to the Mater family were Gene’s mother, Mrs. Mary Mater of rural Nashville; his aunts, Mrs. Nellie Moon and Miss Dorothy Edmonds, both of this village; and Miss Alice Fisher, of Nashville. Roy Boise of Nashville is now working part-time for the village, having been recently empolyed under the Michigan Green Thumb program. On the work force, he joins Ovid Price who has been a village employee for a couple years under the same program. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Richardson of Nashville called on Mr. and Mrs Fay Hummel at Hastings last Tuesday evening. Nashville’s community birthday calendars for the 1979-80 season arrived last week and were delivered by members of the local Lions Club, which is responsible for its production as an annual fund-raiser. Billed as “an adventure in comcom­ munity friendship,” the calendar not only lists individual birthdays and anniversarys of community resident but also schedules upcoming civic, social and school events. Pic­ tured on this year’s production is the new Maple Valley Arms apartment complex on Lentz St Last year’s featured the new Eaton Federal Savings and Loan Ass’n. building on Main Street, so the calendars are also serving as a photo chronicle of our community’s growth. Putnam Public Library received a 3-M photocopying machine last week through a donation by Mrs. Gale (Alice) Keihl of Nashville. The gift is greatly appreciated by the library board, and will greatly aid library personnel who in the past have had to run down to village hall to have material copied. A system will also be established whereby library patrons may also have duplicates run off on the machine at a nominal fee. The Marathon “C” Store at the comer of Main and Reed Street is currently undergoing a facelift which includes an “eyebrow” overhang, a very popular architectural feature incorporated in the recent remodeling of several Nashville business places. There are now about a dozen places sporting some version of this attractive facade. Potential new sewer users in Nashville got a break Thursday evening when the village council reduced the estimate “up front” charge from $1,200 to $600. (Complete details elsewhere in this issue). Voters will have a voice on the proposed project in an election set for Sept. 11. Work has begun on the John and Catherine Beedle memorial room on the second floor of Putnam Public Library. Wooden bookshelving has been installed in the large south, bay-windowed room. Carpeting and an im­ proved overhead lighting fixture are also on the agenda. The project is being financed by memorial donations received by the library in memory of Catherine Beedle, and funds contributed by the Beedle children. When completed the restored room will house the library’s music and classic fiction collections. Also undergoing extensive renovation on the library’s upper level is the so-called “maid’s room” at the head of the stairs. Friends of the Library members were scheduled to begin patching and preparing the walls and ceiling for papering this week. At their meeting last Monday evening, the Putnam Public Library board took under consideration an appropriate title for the room which, when completed, will house the library's rare book collection. These volumes, too valuable to be circulated, will be displayed in glass cases. Other rooms currently in use on the second floor are a meeting room in the northwest corner, restored by the Woman’s Literary Club, and the Michigan and Local History Room in the northeast corner, created as a Bicentennial project with funds received from the village and both Castleton and Maple Grove Townships. Mrs. Edna Gibbons of Nashville enjoyed entertaining her two young great-grandchildren, Jennifer and Jimmy Merritt, last week. After their Sunday-through-Tuesday visit here the children's parents, Jerry and Pat Merritt of Marshall, picked them up and the family enjoyed a trip to Cedar Point at Sandusky, Ohio. Several local folks attended the recent funeral of Dr. Hope Nichoson, 86, of Luther, Michigan. An aunt of Ed Smith of Nashville, Dr. Nichoson was a doctor of medicine who had spent 37 years doing missionary work at a hospital in India. She will be remembered by many local folks as she made frequent visits here as a guest of the Ed Smiths. Attending the service at Luther, in addition to Ed and Edna Smith, were their children, Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Richard (Lucinda) Martin, all of Nashville.

SUPERTITLE.- Starting September 1, all new and replacement vehicle titles will be red, white & blue and printed on special paper with special ink to prevent tamtam­ pering. Any erasures or changes will cause the word “void” to appear. DANCING RULES - The Appeals Court has upheld Liquor Control Commission rules which prohibit bottomless dan­ cing in bars. If a bar owner willfully allows that to occur, he could lose his liquor license and-or be charged under ob­ scenity laws. COOL RECEPTION - Governor Milliken has agreed with Commerce Department recommendations that Michigan not administer the federal emergency building temperature restriction program. He said the program is ill-conceived and poorly planned, with shifting rules and regulations. However, he emphasized his support for other programs Which reduce energy comsumption. REAL ESTATE NEEDS - A report from the Department of Licensing and Regulation cites a need for additional education of real-estate professionals, strong enforcement of fair housing opportunities, a national testing service, and improved administrative procedures within the Depart­ ment. The report has been forwarded to the Federal Trade Commission. MINORITIES UP - The Civil Service Department reports that minorities and females are entering state government work at an increased rate. A procedure known as “Expanded Certification” has been in effect for seven years and during the 1978-79 period covered by the report produced nearly double the affirmative-action hiring than during the same period in 1977-78. * SEEING RED - The Department of Transportation is asking all cities, villages and counties to re-examine the need for “No Turn on Red” signs placed at intersections. This results from a national study showing reduced ac­ cidents and fuel savings through Right Turns on Red.

STATE STREET IN HASTINGS sent to answer questions. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, August 29, 1979 — page 5 Council cuts initial charge in half for proposed sewer system Property owners to be served by Nashville’s proposed $4-8 million sewer expansion project got a $600 break Thursday night. Village officials decided to cut the initial “up front” charge of $1,200 in half. Projected monthly rates were not affected by the move. Thursday’s decision will benefit 183 new users who will be served by the system if village residents approve the project in a scheduled September 11 referendum, x Federal and state grants totaling 80 percent of the project cost have already been offered to the village. Thursday's fee slashing was made possible by an additional $168,000 “alternative processes” grant offered by the Environmental Protection Agency because Nashville plans to use a new lagoon - and - irrigation wastewater treatment system. Nashville has been under order of the Michigan Dept, of Natural Resources since 1968 to abate pollution of .the Thornapple River. Brian Myers and Steven Eldredge, DNR represen­ tatives, were present Tom T.

During Sunday's performance at Sandyland Park, Tom T. Hall accompanied himself on no less than 5 different instruments, backed by his band "The Storytellers." at Thursday’s meeting to answer audience questions. Opponents of the plan as proposed said Thursday it should only include the present wastewater treat­ ment facility and two collection points known to be polluting the river and Quaker Brook, both of which flow through Nashville. Trustee Ted Spoelstra explained that village of­ ficials had proposed the entire grant-eligible portion of Nashville be done because 80 'percent grant funding is now being offered for the sewer project. Trustee Lonny Kienutske pointed out that if voters reject the plan and the village ends up in court on the DNR order, the $3.5 million grant offer would no longer be available. He also said additional DNR in­ vestigation would probably identify other points of pollution in the present sewer system. In other business, the council agreed by an in­ formal poll of its members to consider extending a lease of unpaved village-owned property to truckers whose semi-tractors and trailers were recently banned from a newly-paved business district parking lot. Approximately 16 transporters and independent haulers had made regular use of the village-owned lot to park their. rigs between trips, prior to the $26,300 paving project. Village officials, fearing damange ot the new surface, had banned the rigs which weigh an estimated 68,000 lbs. each when loaded. Michael J. Fisher of Nashville, acting as spokesman for the truckers, said they property owners whose land will be acquired for the new wastewater treatment facility if the sewer project is approved. —Granting a 25 cent hourly increase to DPW employee Scott Decker, for successful completion of his 90-day probabtionary employment period.

He said the truckers would gravel the area and it could be reached without crossing the new asphalt. The council found the suggestion favorable but would not take formal action without consulting the village at­ torney on lease terms. In other action, the council hired Walter Pincumbe, 25, * of National City in Iosco County as a Nashville police officer. PinCumbe, with two years experience with the Iosco County Sheriffs Dept, and four years criminal justice studies at Lake Superior State College, was selected from' 15 applicants for the post He will start as a patrolman at an annual salary of $11,500 plus cost of living allowance. In other police business, the council granted a $50 per year allowance to each, village officer to purchase and maintain his own side arm, effective Sept. 1. In other matters, the council heard objections from two local residents opposed to sale of the old Riverside Mill site, owned by the village since 1974. Cash bids over $7,000 are being accepted on the property until Sept. 13. Opponents of the sale favor retaining the parcel for use as a public park or boat launching site. The lot lies adjacent to the Thornapple River on Nashville’s north side. The village plans to retain an easement across the property for purposes of maintenance to the. village-owned Thornapple River dam.

In May another popular topic of conversation in­ volved the clock. School officials decided families of all students of Nashville school would be given an opportunity to express their preference regarding the adoption of daylight savings time for the balance of the school year. Like the ex­ pansion proposal, that issue also found little local sup­ port. “As a result of a popular vote last week by parents of all school children of the local school, daylight savings time was rejected in favor of continuing on regular time for the balance of the school year,” the News revealed while pointing out that, “Practically all the other nearby towns have adopted the faster time.” Fast time or slow, the Class of 1925 was probably much too busy to notice. They were diligently rehearsing the senior class play, “And Home Came Ted,” to be staged at the Opera House May 29th. Rave reviews followed, duly reported by the press. “The senior class made a decided hit when they presented their play Friday night in the opera house,” declared the News. “Out­ standing performances were given by Gertrude Powers, Gladys Remington, Merle Hoffman, Donald Sprague, Homer Gribbin, Rudolph Wotring, John Johnson, Virgil Springett, Mabie Parker, Leia Palmer, Theresa Douse and Mildred Andrews, who made up the cast.” Nashville athletes also gave an outstanding per­ formance in June when they copped the Barry and Eaton Coutny track title at Mid­ dleville, after which they won the baseball cham­ pionship by beating Freeport 13-5, in the annual Class C field day. “In field events Nashville scored 63 points, Middleville was second with 39, Woodland was third with 22, and Vermontville, fourth with 3 points,” reported the News.

Edith Buxton directed, and Edna Towne played the snare drum, furnishing us with a most enjoyable hour of music.

Since so many cucumbers are coming on now, pickle packers are asking about old recipes that call for lime or alum. Lime is not needed (and not recommended) to make pickles crisp and firm, if good quality ingredients and up to date procedures are used. Most of the lime .(also called slaked lime, hydrated lime or lime hydrate) available today contains many impurities so if you plan to use it anyway (as a pre-soak) make sure you very thoroughly wash the pickles before proceeding to the next step. Alum is called for in some recipes to make pickles Evening college offers no-sweat learning !>!!■ [ iim l« HER iwk acijss kuttaz Mil inn tassta iigks KMIH iiaxi tainta «!■> llfflwi ■ tan i«i» Nfi an® WIB5W bite i S|[0 sltata tMfri irt * b jb> aM asW k*5 >*| gutfi igdW The Evening College, a facet of Michigan State University’s Lifelong Education Programs, is offering 69 noncredit courses on the East Lansing campus this fall. These courses, which meet one night a week for six to eight weeks, provide mid­ Michigan adults new insights and new knowledge without interfering with daytime schedules. They require no term papers and no exams. Fees are moderate. Among diverse course offerings are “China: A Century of Revolution,” “Chinese Paper Cutting,” “Genealogy Update, Your Family Tree” and “American Antiques.” “Family Court Practices,” “Self-Defense,” “How to be Your Own Doctor, Sometimes” and “Reality Coping” examine some of today’s problems. “Nuclear Power and Humankind,” “ Connections: Technology and Society,” “Autumn Sky-Watching” and “Field Natural Science” hark to ecological concerns. Physical fitness courses include “Psychological Experience of Running,” “Aikido, Aikido,” “Fencing” and a variety of fitness and swimming classes. “Selecting Wines,” “The Pleasures of the Opera,” “Great Films” and “Creative Job Hunting” point up other aspects of changing culture. The In­ ternational Year of the Child is marked by two courses one featuring lectures, the other films. There are instrumental music classes and classes on how to understand music, as well as courses in accounting for the nonaccountant, foreign languages, estate planning, personal letter writing and other kinds of writing. Twenty-six of the courses are new fall term. Registration in the main lobby of The Kellogg Center for Continuing Education gets underway Sept. 10 and will continue until classes begin, most in early October. Brochures may be obtained from the Office of the Evening College, 18 Kellogg Center; telephone (517) 355­ 4562. If you use it anyway, use no more than *4 teaspoon per quart of pickling solution; more will give a bitter flavor. Best pickling success can be obtained by using fresh, firm, pickling varieties of cucumbers. Slicing cukes don’t make good pickles. Make sure you remove all blossom ends and thoroughly wash and scrub the pickles before starting. Use the salt­ water-soak process called for in up to date recipes, follow all directions exactly and process in a hot water bath at simmering tem­ perature (200 F.). Processing actually helps keep pickles crisp by killing microorganisms which cause mushiness and spoilage. Freestone peaches that cling to the pit have been more of a problem than usual this year, due primarily to weather con-ditions. Red Havens, now on the market, are normally freestone when fully ripe only but to date are clinging to pits even when ripe. Those coming to market from now on should be less “clingy” but you may still have to slice them away from the pits rather than trying to separate into lovely peach halves. Weather has made the difference this year. If you’re overloaded with cabbage, have run out of friends and neighbors with whom to share and have made all the saurkraut you’ll need for the year ahead, what else can you do with the massive crop? You can freeze cabbage for use only as a cooked vegetable but it’s not a very desireable product. Freezer cole slaws Send Your Family Back-To-School With Hair Designs From The PROFESSIONALS at Razor's Edge are better (recipes are available from the Con­ sumer Marketing office) but from an economical stand­ point, you may be better off to fill your freezer with more expensive or higher quality products. Cabbage is generally fairly reasonable most of the year. You can store cabbage in outdoor storage cellars, cone-shaped pits or long pits. .Contact the Cooperative Extension Service office in your county for more directions. Home gardeners who are raising melons are asking how to tell when they’re ripe and ready. Cantaloupe should be harvested when the stem pulls away cleanly for WANT-ADS want to try. It’s much like a real fall apple but matures now, to fill the gap between summer and fall varieties. It has a solid red blush color, a tart flavor and holds up well in storage under refrigeration. It’s an ex­ cellent all-purpose apple that's gaining in popularity. Last year was the first year for a sizeable crop from young plantings. Is this a good time to stock the freezer with beef and pork? For beef, probably yes. September supplies will still be short of demand but prices have been down recently. They’re expected to increase from now on, so this might be a good time to buy. Pork supplies will in­ crease this fall and prices will be down, so you may want to wait a month or so if you want pork in the freezer.

(Maple Valley News photo by Virginia Alles) Plans for Nashville’s 1979 Harvest Festival were mapped at meetings last week of the Riverside Recreational Development Corp., sponsors of the twoday affair set for the last weekend in September. Sallye Me Lean, RRDC head, led a meeting of the board Tuesday evening and hosted an informal gathering of community volunteers Wednesday. “We need help from other civic organizations and interested individuals,” said Mrs. Me Lean. “It is impossible for five or 10 people to put on an entire festival.” Mrs. Me Lean added that there has been much local support expressed for staging the annual celebration, but workers are desperately needed. Celebration of the harvest revives a Nashville tradition begun in 1904 with the first Harvest Festival, and continued as an annual affair until interruped in 1941 by World War II. The festivals were later resumed, but again discontinued in the 1960’s. In October 1977 the RRDC made the first at­ tempt to reinstate Nashville's annual Harvest Festival in an effort to raise funds for development of a community recreational park, to be located on the banks of the Thornapple River near the downtown business district. This year, as last, the Harvest Festival coincides with the annual Maple Valley High School homecoming celebration. A combined Harvest Festival­ Homecoming parade will step off at 1:30 p.m. Satur­ day, Sept. 29, and wind from Putnam Park to the Fuller Street football field. Again this year, as last, Maple Valley will host Carson City for the traditional homecoming football game,, set for 3:00 p.m. Crowning of the MVHS Homecoming Queen will be conducted at half-time ceremonies, during the Saturday game. Nashville’s 1979 festival will also feature a Harvest Queen, selected by penny votes from a field of mer­ chant-sponsored candidates. Eligibility rules only that candidate^ (1) be at least 18 years of age, (2) not be enrolled in high school (to avoid conflict with the Homecoming Queen race), and (3) have a Nashville address. Potential sponsors were contacted by contest chairman Ray Hinckley last week, in order to meet the Sept. 5th nomination deadline. Winner of the Harvest Queen race will be announced at a Friday evening Harvest Talent show, set for 7 p.m. Sept. 28 at Sandyland Park. She will be crowned by Thelma Christopher, the 1978 Har­ vest Queen, and ride in Saturday’s parade with all other queen contestants. s The talent show, open to all ages, will be chaired by Brenda and Dave Hawkins. Entries in a variety of categories will be accepted for registration until Sept. 23, and cash prizes will be awarded to winners of each entertainment division. In case of inclement weather, the talent event will be staged at the Kellogg school. Arrangements are also well underway for a 1979 Harvest Run, a 10,000 meter race chaired by Tom Oleson. Registration, start and finish will be at Putnam Park on M-66. Entrants will trace a circuitous 6.2 mile route of country roads. The first 200 runners to register, begin­ ning at 7 a.m. for the 8 a.m. Saturday race, will receive free Harvest Run t-shirts. The competition is open to all ages, with trophies and ribbons to be awarded winners in various age groups. In a slight departure from the traditional Harvest Ball, Saturday evening will see a “Harvest of Hits” staged at Conf. pg. 14 — �Th. Mopl.

A turnout that sue in 187* would surely please the RRDC committee Still “up in the air" is a festival event which was the traditional highlight of all early Harvest Festivals-the hot­ air balloon ascension. A balloonist has been contacted and the RRDC committee is presently contemplating how to raise enough funds to cover his fee. Since he offered to take •long two passengers, the thought naturally arose that selling chances to adventurous spectators might solve the problem However, at this writing, nothing definite has transpired The Nashville ambulance crew had a hectic schedule last week, answering one call on Sunday, one on Tuesday (a second was taken by Vermontville ambulance), and one, Wednesday. The Sunday call was to the Richard Byrd residence on Thomapple Lake Road when his father fell from a tree about 8:30 p.m. He was transported to Pennock By Susan Hinckley Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Tuesday afternoon, about 4:45 p.m., the Nashville am­ bulance was called to State Road, east of M-66, when a motorcycle left the roadway. The driver, a Lansing man, was transported to St Lawrence hospital suffering back pain. Wednesday, about 3:20 p.m. the Nashville ambulance crew responded to a call of a collision between an auto and cycle on Wellman Road at the intersection of State Road. The driver of the car was uninjured but the motorcyclist sustained lacerations, a possible broken arm and leg in­ juries, and was transported to Pennock Hospital 'for treatment. The Nashville Fire Dept, was summoned to a minor car fire near the Adrien Pufpaff residence on Casgrove Street about 10:00 p.m. last Tuesday night. The incident proved to be minor. September has been designated “Stewardship Month” for the Sunday School department will study the Biblical principles of Christian stewardship and how they apply to Christian living. Saturday, September 15, will see many local youngsters on bikes, circling the track at Fuller Street school. They will be pedaling for charity, to raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. Each child is currently seeking sponsors who will pledge a certain sum for each lap completed by the bicycling youngster in Saturday’s event. Proceeds of the Bike-A-Thon will aid the hospital, dedicated to combating catastrophic childhood diseases. Founded in 1962 by entertainer Danny Thomas, St. Jude’s is non­ sectarian, non-discriminatory and completely free of charge to all patients. Dennis Smith of Nashville is chairing the event, aided by his wife Vicki. They may be contacted for more information by youngsters wishing to enter the race, or by sponsors wishing to pledge support of the fund-raiser. T-shirts and backpacks will reward youngsters reaching certain goals in the contest, but their best reward will be knowing they have helped a very worthy cause. Adults, please support these children in their effort. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Russell (Pam) Gardner of Nashville on the birth of a daughter Monday, August 27. The new arrival, named Jennifer Lynn, weighed in at 7 lbs. 11% ozs She is welcomed home by a two-year-old sister, Angela, and is blessed with a multitude of grandparents, including two sets of paternal great-great grandparents. They are Bill and Clara Face of Nashville and Grover and Grace Welker of Delton. The baby’s paternal grandparents are Duane and Janet Gardner of Nashville, and her great­ grandparents on her daddy’s side of the family include Kenneth and Theda Gardner, and Loyn and Jean Welker, all of Nashville. Jennifer’s maternal grandmother is Mrs. June Shellenbarger of Lake Odessa. Sunday, September 9, has been designated “Three Score and Ten” day at the Nashville United Methodist Church. Senior citizens, 70 and over, will be honored at morning worship service and also at a 12:15 p.m. dinner in the church Community House. Ed and Edna Smith have charge of the program for the event. Larry Corkwell of Nashville got an unexpected ride in Vermontville’s ambulance last Tuesday evening, due to a run-in with a bee. Larry had just donated blood at the Red Cross clinic at the United Methodist Community House, walked the short distance to his home, and began mowing the lawn. (He probably should have rested a while longer). Anyway, he soon roused a bee who decided to take up residence in Larry’s newly-sprouted beard. After receiving three facial stings, Larry finally dislodged the bee from his beard but not without suffering an additional bit to his hand. Although Larry has never had an adverse reaction to insect stings, though his mother is allergic to them, he im­ mediately developed extensive hives and began to go into shock. His neighbor, fireman Larry Decker, summoned the Vermontville ambulance (Nashville’s was still out on an earlier run), and Larry was whisked to Pennock Hospital for emergency treatment. He recovered rapidly, but must now carry an antidote with him at all times in case of another encounter with a bee. Dorothy Edmonds of Nashville was in Petoskey last week and, at this writing, expected to undergo surgery for cataracts at Burns Clinic there Friday. Friends of the Library members spent several days last week scraping old wallpaper from the so-called “maid’s room” on the second floor of Putnam Public Library. This week, papering was scheduled to begin on the ceiling and sidewalls. Jerry Johnson, of Johnson’s Furniture, has of­ fered to help with the ceiling job. The sidewalls will be done by several volunteers from the organization. The room is being readied for use as a display area for the library’s rare books collection. Mrs. Gladys Crooks of Maple Grove has been a recent house guest of Mrs. Esther Buckley of Nashville. The former Nashville Jaycees, a recently disbanded organization, last week made a generous donation to the Nashville Senior Citizen’s Nutrition Site. Receipt of the check was announced by Forrest Babcock, president of the local senior citizen’s COA organization, and Mike Slocum, president of the Jaycees. Mike also reports that his group has recently donated a quantity of children’s coloring books to Putnam Public Library, as part of closing out the dub’s asses ts. Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis of Nashville entertained her granddaughter and daughter-in-law, Kathy and Mrs. Virginia Curtis, in honor of the latter’s birthday last Saturday. A Thursday visitor at the home of Mrs. Caroline Jones of Nashville was Mrs. Thelma Seaver of Battle Creek. Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Friddle of rural Nashville have as a house guest her mother, Mrs. Maude McNutt of Sturgis. Two circles of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet on Monday, Sept. 10th. At 1:00 p.m. the Edith Parks Circle will meet with Mrs. Adah Steele for a dessert lun­ cheon. At 7:30 p.m., the Rebeccas Circle will meet at the home of Mrs. Edna Smith. A performance by South Haven gospel singer, Rev. Mike Stambaugh, will be presented at 7 p.m. services, Sunday, Sept. 16 at the Nashville Baptist Church. An interesting letter received last week from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin, included a clipping of a recent Detroit News story by staff writer John E. Peterson, regarding the old Burma Shave road signs of the past. How many of us remember reading and enjoying these little tidbits of wisdom and humor? In his article, Peterson pointed out that a reader had suggested resurrection of the old signs to slow traffic down to the 65 mph limit. “The Burma Shave signs were always a bright • spot on Sunday drives in the country in the days of my youth,” Peterson quoted the lady’s nostalgic recollection “They were catchy little roadside rhymes on a series of NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING In accordance with Act 183 of the Public Acts of 1943, as amended, and Article VIII-R of the Eaton County Rural Zoning Ordinance, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that a public hearing will be held by the Eaton County Planning Commission on...SEPTEMBER 12, 1979, at 8:00 p.m. in the Eaton County Courthouse, 1045 Independence Boulevard, Charlotte, Michigan.

They were largely dismantled in 1964 when the company was sold to new owners. But, Peterson happily noted, a few signs “apparently escaped the wrecking crew’s eye” and still “survive on out-of-the-way backroads.” Incidentally, Kenneth Meade also wrote he enjoyed the recent “Memories” on the Thomapple River, and recalled one of the Grahams had built a steam boat that took people for rides on the millpond above the dam, during one of the Harvest Festivals. Quite coincidentally, as we were recently searching through an extensive collection of local history diaries kept by the late Frank Russell, longtime Nashville village engineer, we found mention of the vessel. (The diaries are now the property of Vern Staup, who has kindly loaned them to us for research which will greatly aid future “Memories” features.) From Russell’s diary, dated June 23, 1911: “Martin Graham started his steamer today.” On June 30th, Russell helped “fix exhaust on Martin Graham’s boat.” On July 2nd, a day Frank described as “terrible hot”, he received his reward. “Was out with Mart Graham in the steamer.” (Readers can look forward to future excerpts from the Russell diaries, which mainly deal with life in and around the river and Putnam Park area, municipal operations, new construction, local deaths and funerals, and detailed weather accounting of all seasons). Also on the subject of “Memories”, a letter from Wayne Fuller, a Nashville native now of Toledo, added an in­ teresting highlight to the recent feature on early Nashville autos. Wayne’s first ride was in a Buick roadster owned by Clyde Gould. “It had carbide lights and you sounded the horn by squeezing a rubber bulb,’’ writes Fuller. He also remembers a trip to Hastings, via Michigan Central, to visit his Dad’s cousin who had a “brass-fron Ford” in which they rode to Freeport. “He stored gasoline in a 50-gallon steel drum in the shed where the car was kept,” recalls Fuller. “Gasoline was drained from the drum through a chamois skin into a teakettle and poured in the tank of the car. ’ ’ Many local families planned gatherings over this Labor Day weekend. Visitois expected at the home of Mrs. Theresa Hess of Nashville were her son and family, William and Barbara Hess and children, of Alabama, and her granddaughter and children, Mrs. Judy Green Rodocker and daughters of Kalamazoo. Mrs. Veda Guy of Nashville, accompanied by Mrs. Mildred Hill of Charlton Park Road, drove to Bristol, In­ diana last week to call on Veda’s son and family, Mr. and Mrs. Kendall Guy and children. Mrs. Edna Gibbons and Mrs. Veda Guy were Tuesday callers on Veda’s sister, Mrs. Evangie Miller of Lacey Road. Mrs. Esta Day of Nashville enjoyed a Thursday visit from her daughter, Mrs. Phyllis Hoffman of Battle Creek, who was accompanied by her daughter, Mrs. Sherry Michalis, and children of Jacksonville, Florida. Agnes Hughes, owner of the Steakhouse Restaurant, was surprised on her birthday last Monday when her employees, their families, and some friends dropped by the Hughes’ Thornapple Lake cottage with a potluck supper. Faye Salyers had arranged the whole event, and Irene Goodnoe prepared a special cake for the occasion. % Mrs. John (Marge) Hartwell, who sustained rather serious leg injuries in a mishap at her home last week is, at this report, still in traction at Pennock Hospital awaiting sufficient healing to allow casting. It is expected she will be confined to a cast for some time, having suffered a fractured femur which punctured the skin. Best wishes to Marge for a speedy recovery. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce will resume fall meetings with a 7:00 p.m. dinner next Wednesday evening, Sept. 12th, at the Village Inn Cafe. ' August has been a busy month for the Clarence Reids of Nashville, and last week was especially hectic. They, and son Vernon and family of Charlotte, spent two days in Cadillac helping son Darwin and family move. Returning to Nashville, the Reids had Clarence’s cousin and wife, Myrtle and Walter Hunter of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, for Wed­ nesday through Saturday house guests. Friday, they all visited relatives in x Battle Creek, including Clarence’s nephew, Raymond Cuykendall; his brother, Charles Reid and family; and his sister and her husband, Ethel and Frank Shaver. Saturday night, Clarence and Margaret were guests of daughter and family, Anetta and Dave Tredinnick of Hastings, in honor of Clarence’s birthday. A group of Nashville Lions and friends, traveling by chartered bus from Vermontville, enjoyed a Friday evening excursion to Tiger Stadium recently to watch the Detroit The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Wednesday, Septembers, 1979 — Page 3 Tigers beat the Seattle Mariners in an exciting 5-2 ball game. Some 26,000 fans were present for the event, 42 of them arriving on the locally chartered bus. Enroute home, the local folks enjoyed a stop at an Elias Bros, restaurant for a late supper (or early breakfast), and arrived back in Vermontville about 3 a.m. Mike Lingoes of Nashville became a TV star recently when Channel 8 did an unusual promo for the “Newlyweds” game show. Mike and other shoppers caught at the Grand Rapids mall were asked an impertinent “mother-in-law” question to match a film clip of the game show. Many of the Michigan answers were as hilarious as those offered by contestants on the syndicated production, aired daily on Channel 8. The ad, featuring Mike, has also been broadcast recently. Bookworms and collectors: remember the upcoming book sale to be sponsored by the Friends of the Library during Nashville’s Harvest Festival celebration, set for the last weekend in September. Members of the FOL will be con­ ducting the sale on the grounds of Putnam Library, Sept. 28 and 29. Anyone having volumes they wish to dispose of, is encouraged to donate them to this worthy project. Also offered for sale will be excess and duplicate books from the library collection. Proceeds of the sale will help to purchase a film projector for in-library use. For further information, contact the library or any member of the Friends group. Mrs. Joy Peake is general chairperson of the event. Mrs. Edith Jones has taken up residence at the Maple Valley Arms apartment complex. Moving into the Jones home last week were Roy and Elaine Johnson, who came to our village from Montana. He is the new band director and instrumental music instructor at Maple Valley School. The Nashville United Methodist Women will meet at the home of Mrs. Grace Marisch of North Mason Road on Wednesday, Sept. 5th. Election of officers for 1980 is scheduled for the 7:30 p.m. event. The Cloverleaf Class of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet for a 1:30 p.m. dessert luncheon at the church Community House on Thursday, Sept. 6th. The Golden Agers of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet for a noon potluck dinner at the Com­ munity Houst, Thursday, Sept. 13. This is a change frotn the regularly scheduled Friday meeting. Forest and Betty Rogers of Barryville recently en­ tertained members of the Dull family for a reunion. Honored guests here from Florida for the occasion were Mrs. Gladys Dull of Holly Hills and Mr. and Mrs. Milo Hill of Daytona Beach, all former area residents. In addition to “Mike” and Marjorie Hill, other children of Mrs. Gladys Dull attending the event were Mr. and Mrs. Johnny Dull of Nashville; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Phillips of Fine Lake; Mr. and Mrs. Ted Catlin of Clarksville, and Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Dull of Hastings. Also present were the children and grandchildren of each family, making a grand total of 45 at the potluck picnic dinner for an enjoyable Sunday gathering, August 19.

You have a choice between having $3,345,187 paid us in grant funds if you vote yes, or having to pay the 3 % million dollars' out of your own pocket, if you vote no. If you think a “no” vote will end the sewer issue, you are mistaken. Other towns have been taken to court and ordered to up-date their systems - and they had to pay the total cost. A yes vote means for every $10.00 you pay, grant funds will pay $90.00. Yes, it will be expensive, even with outside help. Had earlier plans not been defeated, the cost would not have been so high. We urge you to vote “yes” on Tuesday, Sept. 11.

Paid For By The REALLY Concerned Citizens of Nashville ■■ A31OA S3AJ1O 3A31OA �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, September 5, 1979 — Page 6 Memories of the past By Susan Hinckley It was several years after President Grover Cleveland signed an 1894 bill declaring Labor Day a national holiday before the law had much impact on Nashville. Locally, the first Monday in September tended to mean more to the local farming community than to any organized labor movement. That day had simply been observed as an annual festive outing. “The far- Day laborers or good neighbors helping raise a local barn? The photo was given to Floyd White by the late Martin Graham, who is in the picture,. (White first thought it was the old schoolhousellnder construction but the terrain, haystack at left, and barn in background indicate it is a rural area). Nashville farmers initially observed Labor Day with an annual outing they called a "farmers' picnic", pre-dating local industrial observance of the holiday. (Photo loaned, courtesy Floyd White) mers* picnic at Thornapple Lake last Monday was a huge success,” reported the Nashville News the first week of September, 1903. “In the raffle of a horse, Mr. Abbott was the winner and in the ladies’ raffle Mrs. George McWha won the dress suit. In the voting contest for the best housekeeper present, Mrs. Peter S. Maurer was winner by a large majority.” ,.

Youngsters would soon be back in school and “things would return to normal,” she added. Thornapple Lake, often a summertime holiday haven for Nashville residents, also became the center of Labor Day observances. The lake shore was a popular spot for picnics, dances and holiday ball games. Day “The Labor celebration at Thornapple Lake Monday was a big success,” noted the News in 1908, “there being a large attendance and everything passed off in good shape.” “The sports were all carried out as advertised,” elaborated the reporter, “The Vermontville band furnished splendid music all day, and the dance was liberally patronized until midnight. The ball game was between a picked-up team from Nashville and one from Quimby, and was won by the Nashville boys by a score of 12 to 10.” As official observance of the September holiday became more widespread, a day’s furlough from work became an increasingly accepted practice. “Monday being Labor Day and a legal holiday, the rural (mail) carriers were relieved from their duties for the day,” observed the News in 1910, “so the carriers of Barry and Eaton Counties met at Thornapple Lake for a day of rest and recreation.” - However, there is some doubt whether Labor Day was recognized by private industry in the village at the same time. Several recentlyinterviewed senior citizens who had relatives working at the Lentz Table Company, Nashville’s largest employer in the early 1900’s, could not recall such an occasion. One thing is certain: if workers did observe the holdiay, it was undoubtedly without pay. Industrial “paid holidays”*, as we know them today, were many years down the line. But the village had leanred firsthand about labor strikes one week after Labor Day 1906, when discontent arose among workmen on a municipal project to lower a water main across the Thornapple River (to prevent its freezing during severe winter weather). “Nashville went through the throes of its first labor strike this week,” revealed the News. Street Com­ missioner Bill Woodard was working on the water main lowering job on the river Monday when some of his laborers, who were drawing $2.50 per day, announced they would quit work unless they were promised $3.50 per day.” Bill promptly paid them off and pulled his regular workers off the crosswalk job, to finish the river project,” added the writer. “No more has been heard from the strikers.” The following May, Woodard again experienced labor difficulties, when laying water mains in the east end of town, but it “didn’t worry Bill much, as he is accustomed to trouble,’’ observed the News. Trench diggers paid at the rate of a dollar-and-a-half per day wanted twenty-five cents more. “About , half the men digging the trench went on strike, asking more pay,” advised the News. “Bill didn’t have any authority to pay them more and, in consequence, the strikers stayed out and the ditch is being dug without them.” But neither local labor strife, nor Nashville’s observance of a September holiday to honor the working class, made much news in the village over succeeding years. However, two early September releases a couple decades later added special significance to Labor Day. Near the September holiday, in 1931, the News reported with anote of op- WESTERN PINES TACK SHOP 192 N.

The Ford Motor Company has recalled close to 45,000 workers, and some leading economists prophesy that 1931 will see the end of the so-called depression, which has now gripped the land for close to two years.” The cheerful forecast was a bit premature. But two years later, Labor Day 1933 brought an encouraging note to Nashville News readers: “Postmaster General James Farley announced on Labor Day that on September 30 the payless furloughs of postal employees will end, because he believes the nation is on the road back to prosperity.” A memorable Labor Day, indeed.

September 5. 1979 — Page 9 Maple Valley may travel in thepassing lane in some passing volleys. Watson plans to split Sargent wide to provide a passing threat which he thought would have been used two years ago but had to scrap when a talented front line opened up holes like Moses did the Red Sea. Because this year’s of­ fensive line will average under 170 pounds, Watson sees a necessity to use the group for pass blocking rather than trying to manuever bigger defensive people out of the way of Maple Valley runners. That strategy could make ’79 Lion football very entertaining. Watson fully expects defending champion Saranac to bully the Tri Central Athletic Association again this season with Portland and Lakeview offering some challenge. For Maple Valley some stunning success against any of those teams is possible though the consistency needed to mold a championship team is lacking. But maybe.,..there are more secrets we don’t know about. Returning Maple Valley football lettermen form experienced nucleus for coach Dan Watson's squad.

Drivers going over 60 will now get tickets; drivers going over 55 may get verbal warnings. Points are not charged unless freeway speeds are over 70. CJDORT CONTINGENCIES - As Wayne County nears bankruptcy, several state agencies are developing plans to keep essential services going. The Supreme Court has directed local judges to develop cost estimates of money needed to keep courts open. SCHOOL CONTRACTS - With the start of school close at hand, some 60 percent of districts had signed teacher contracts as of the end of August; this is slightly down from last year. Strikes have been announced for less than a dozen school districts. DISTRICT PLAN - A new redistricting plan for Michigan has been proposed and will be introduced in the legislature later this month. It would make legislative districts based more oh population and geography than on partisanship, and would give 2 state senators per congressional district and 3 state representatives per senate district, about the same number as now.' CHECK TAX - The House Taxation Committee will hold hearings next week - Detroit, September 12 Lansing, September 13 - on HB 4712, which would put a transaction tax of $.10 on checks and similar negotiable instruments. The recipient of the check would pay the tax. It is estimated this would produce $150 million to help pay for the home heating assistance program. TEMPERATURE PROGRAM - Although Michigan is not administering the federal Emergency Building Tem­ perature Restriction Program, you can get information on it by calling 800-292-2704, toll-free. This will help answer questions created by the program’s vague rules, which basically require that thermostats in public buildings be set at 78 degrees F. in summer, 65 degrees F. in winter.

Public Hearing: conf, from front fate for local taxpayers. “The environmentalists are after us,” Wasek told the audience, “If we are polluting a river, a lake, or a bay, they’ll come down on us.” Nashville, has been offered EPA and DNR grants totaling $3.5 million toward the estimated $4.8 million project. The plans call for construction ofa newlagoonand-irrigation treatment facility on Brumm Road and extension of sewer lines to add 183 new users to the system. Nashville’s present collection lines serve ap­ proximately 480 homes. Answering audience questions at the meeting were Brian Myers and Steve Eldredge, representatives of the DNR. Also present at the meeting was Patsy Clark, representing Williams and Works of Grand Rapids, who would be engineers on the Nashville project. Thur­ sday’s public hearing was conducted by village trustee Lonny Kienutske, who heads the council-appointed Public Information Committee. He explained the recent reduction of the proposed “up front” charge, from the initial $1,200 to the present $600, was made possible by funds received in a $168,000 EPA grant, an additional amount offered to Nashville because the village is planning to use the new lagoon type facility, con­ sidered superior to other treatment methods. Much public input was received from the audience, and all questions seemed to be adequately answered by Kienutske and other officials and representatives present at the meetings. Nashville voters will go to the polls next Tuesday, Sept. 11, to decide if the village shall accept the $3.5 million grants and proceed with the estimated $4.8 million sewer expansion and im­ provements.

The Nashville Garden Club will resume fall meetings with a Tuesday, Sept. 11th, gathering at the home of Mrs. Flossie Richards of Hastings. Tea committee for the 2 p.m. event will be Mrs. Carrie Fuhr and Mrs. Ethel Laraway. Guest speaker will be Lucy Slinger, Barry County’s 4-H Youth agent. She will speak on plant care and conduct a question and answer session. Garden Club studies for the month are the flower, aster; vegetable, squash; apd the tumbleweed. The legendary “hillbilly” fued between the Hatfields and McCoys will be the theme of an October challenge between the Nashville Baptist Church and Lake Center Bible Church at Portage, in an effort to top each other in Sunday School attendance that month. A highlight of the Nashville event will be the October 13 and 14 appearance of internationallyknown evangelist Charles Huges of the Thomas Rode Baptist Church of Lynchburg, Virginia, pastured by Dr. Jerry Falwell. The public is cordially invited to attend these services. Assistant Pastor Don Roscoe of the Nashville Baptist Church finished 5th in his age group in Hastings’ Summer Run II, staged during the recent Summer Fest there. Roscoe finished 35th overall, from over 175 entrants. Winner of the competition was former Hastings resident Tom Duits who was flown in from- Colorado, where he is in training for the 1980 Olympics. — Pastor Don Roscoe is also currently training for a 26-mile Marathon Run set for November 3rd at Grand Valley State College. Locally, he is currently helping Tom Oleson, chairperson of Nashville’s 10,000 meter Harvest Run, organize the Sept. 29th event. Roscoe said he would en­ courage area business and professional people to get in­ volved in the race, to create excitement and interest in the upcoming competition. He reports he recently received a call from Grand Rapids indicating that a group of runners from that area are coming to Nashville’s Harvest Festival to participate in the run. Jassin M. Hamdd, 16, of Hamburg, Germany arrive in Nashville last week to begin a year’s stay with the family of Youth Pastor Roger Claypool of the Nashville Baptist Church. Jassin, who is interested in foreign languages and enjoys the sport of tennis, will be attending Maple Valley High School. Selection of a 1979 Harvest Queen from a field'of mer­ chant-sponsored candidates gets underway this week, with penny votes collected in canisters placed only in each sponsoring business place. (Each store will have a canister only for their own candidate, which represents a change in rules from last year’s contest). The winner will be an­ nounced, and crowned, at a Friday evening Harvest Talent show staged at Sandyland Park, Sept. 28. (In case of in­ clement weather the event will be moved to Kellogg school). The Harvest Queen and all candidates will ride in Satur­ day’s parade, proceeding the afternoon football game with Carson City. Nashville needs more folks like Dave and Brinda Hawkins, who upon learning last week that the Harvest Festial was in desperate need of volunteer workers, offered to take charge of the Harvest Talent show. The Hawkins are currently busy making arrangements and seeking entrants for the contest. Entries are also being sought for the Harvest Run, Harvest Produce contest, Thornapple River canoe race, plus a Main Street flea market, and arts and crafts exhibits. Details appear elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News on persons to contact for these various events . The Nashville Ambulance Dept, will raffle three fantastic prizes during the Harvest Festival celebration. The “goodies” are currently on display at Carl’s Market. They are two folding bicycles and a large hand-hooked rug in shades ofgold and brown.

The request is the result of a national study that reveals right turns on red reduce the total number of accidents and save motorists time and fuel. The study, conducted for the American Association of State Highway and Tran­ sportation Officials, showed that the total number of rear­ end collisions, sideswipes, right-angle collisions and vehicles running off the road, decreased an average 12.6 to 11.9 percent per year, per intersection, after allowing right turns on red. It also showed that the average motorist saves six seconds driving time for every turn on red which could average out to a fuel savings of about one-fifth of a gallon in an hour’s time. “That may not sound like much,” says Donald Orne, engineer of MDOT’s Traffic and Safety Division and chairman of the national task force that did the study, “but just in Michigan, that averages out to a fuel savings of 10 and one-half million gallons each year.” Michigan adopted turns on red in 1976.

HASTINGS...PHONE 945-3256 HASTINGS — IONIA — CHARLOTTE Rise in farm receipts slows Cash receipts from farm marketing in Michigan rose 3 percent in the first 6 months of 1979 over the same period a year earlier. Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service placed mid-year returns at $940 million compared with $910 million a year earlier. Crop farmers fared poorly as their intake fell 17 percent; while livestock producers enjoyed a 20 percent increase. The 3 percent overall gain this year compares with 16 percent increase last year and an average over the past 5 years of 11 percent. Higher cattle prices and a steadily growing dairy in- dustry pushed livestock cash receipts up 20 percent in the first 6 months of this year. Livestock and their products brought in $599 million, accounting for 64 percent of farm receipts. Receipts from crops totaled $341 million, a drop of 17 percent. Crops will likely gain this fall as harvest continues and heavy supplies of wheat, corn and soybeans cross the market.

Cash prizes and ribbons will be awarded in seven categories in the 1979 contest, under the direction of Lorna Wilson. Entries will be accepted between the hours of 4 and 6 p.m. Friday, Sept. 28, for display in a Main Street tent. Judging is set for 10 a.m. Saturday, with awards for the best produce exhibit, largest pumpkin, best squash entry, best carved pumpkin, and best floral arrangements (fresh and dried). There will also be a winner selected in a “miscellaneous produce” category. More details may be obtained by phoning Lorna at 852-9193. Entrants are also being sought for the Harvest Talent Show, set for 7 p. m. Friday, Sept. 28, at Sandyland Park. The Riverside Recreational Development Corp, last week set a prize of $15 for each winner in four entertainment categories: vocal, instrumental, dance, and miscellaneous. Ribbons will be awarded 2nd and 3rd place winners in each group. Dave and Brinda Hawkins of Nashville are chairing the event to be emceed by Kenneth F. Meade, Sr., a Nash­ ville native now of Jackson. Contestants may register with the Hawkins through Sept. 23rd. No entry fee will be charged, and admission to the park is free. The committee hopes a freewill offering will help offset costs of producing the show. The highlight of the Harvest Talent Show will be the crowning of the 1979 Harvest Queen, selected by penny votes. Canisters are currently out on eight candidates. The name of the winner will not be disclosed until mid-way through the talent show Friday night. The new queen will be crowned by Thelma Christopher, Nashville’s 1978 Harvest Queen, and will ride in Saturday’s parade with all other candidates. Response to the Harvest Queen contest was overwhelming and the nomination deadline has been extended by the RRDC to allow local organizations and churches to also sponsor candidates if they desire. The committee had first contacted merchants to seek candidates, but hope to give all who want to participate an equal chance. Anyone wishing to sponsor a candidate must have her name submitted to Ray Hinckley no later than noon Wednesday, Sept. 12. They must also furnish a photo suitable for publication, a short biographical sketch, and a $5 entry fee. The candidates must be 18 or older, not a high school student, and have a Nash­ ville address. Canisters may not be placed at random, as was allowed last year. Each merchant will have only their own candidate’s canister in his store. Organizations and churches may circulate their contestant’s canister (as may merchants) but is may hot be left in any store. All proceeds of the contest go toward development of a community recreational park on the banks of the Thornapple River, near the downtown business district. Last Year’s Queen race netted $1,262.16, the top money-maker of the 1978 festival. Condolences to the family of Mrs. Ralph (Elsie) Currier, who passed away last Tuesday evening after being stricken at her Gregg Street home. The Nashville ambulance, with police escort, transported her to Hayes-Green-Beach Hospital in Charlotte. Services were held Friday at Lake Odessa. Monica Denyer, a Colombian exchange student who graduated with Maple Valley’s Class of ‘79, will soon be returning. She expects to enter Lansing Community College or Lansing Business Institute this month. Monica returned to Colombia in July, after spending a year here with the John Bitgood family of Nashville. In August, Mrs. Linda Bitgood flew to Monica’s hometown of Barranquilla, Colombia for a 2-weeks visit with the Denyer family. The city is in a tropical setting on the Caribbean sea, an area of lush growth and abundant fresh fruit. Linda reports she enjoyed a variety of foods, including tropical fruits. Papayas, fried bananas, and a dish called cocoanut rice were favorites. In the Denyer household, in addition to Monica and her parents, are a brother who is studying medicine, Monica’s grandparents, and an aunt. Linda en­ joyed several excursions with the Denyer fainily to surrounding villages. She flew to Colombia via Miami, and on her return to Michigan was accompanied by a Colombian By Susan Hinckley exchange student headed for a year’s stay with a Charlotte family. Labor Day weekend, the John Bitgood family visited friends at Alba in the Petoskey area, and drove to Mackinac to cross the bridge, by auto. Crossing the bridge in the traditional Labor Day walk were Jerry and Judy Terpening and children, Robin, Bryon, Renee, and Eric of Nashville. Accompanying them was Kerri Tobias, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roger Tobias of Nashville. The Terpenings camped at Mackinac City from Friday through Tuesday. Other Nashville folks joining the 25,000 hikers for the 4.6 mile jaunt were Don and Jeanette Joseph of Carl’s Market, and their 7-year-old granddaughter, Jodi Marie Joseph. Also enjoying the Labor Day hike across the Mackinac Bridge were Dick and Marily Chaffee of Nashville, and Mr. and Mrs. Newman Shaw of Bivens Road. Nashville’s Main Street received a “sprucing up” last Thursday evening when members of the Nashville Business Owners Association gathered to paint an “eyesore” wall standing at the north boundary of the vacant NBOA-owned lot. The wall was the north portion of three hazardous structures razed by the organization in a 1977 project. Built so closely to the neighboring structure that it could not be torn down without endangering the adjacent building, the wall was left standing and badly in need of paint. (Oldtime Nashville residents will remember it as the north wall of the old Colin T. Munro grocery store). Last week, it received a new coat of avacado-colored paint, with work done by NBOA members Russ Furlong, Jerry Johnson, Jerry Brumm, Ben Mason, Dick Chaffee, Jeanette Joseph and Mary Hecker. A week ago the same crew, plus Max Kelley and Vernon Curtis, gathered to do some preparatory scrapping and patching of the wall. The NBOA also cleaned a truckload of weeds out of the vacant lot recently. Due to erroneous information supplied us last week, we reported that the Nashville Business Owners would be sponsoring a “pig roast” in Central Park during the up­ coming Harvest Festival. Dick Chaffee, a member of the NBOA and RRDC, informed us it will be an “ox” that is roasted, not a pig. At any rate it should be fun, good eating, and hopefully draw a crowd of hungry spectators. Our community is very fortunate to have such a dedicated organization as our newly-formed Friends of the Library. Members of this industrious group of volunteers last week completed papering the so-called “Maid’s Room” on the second floor of Putnam Public Library. Countless hours of preparation of the walls were necessary before the new wallpaper, a green colonial print on white background, could be applied. The ceiling was also covered with white. Until the recent renovation, the small east room could only be used for storage. Now it will house a display of volumes too valuable to be circulated. Restoring the room was only one of numerous energetic projects undertaken by the FOL since their 1978 formation. The Putnam Library board is very thankful for these dedicated volunteers who have added so much to the library in such a short span of time. In addition to improving the facilities, they were responsible for the very successful and record-setting Children’s Story Hour conducted at the library in July. Mrs. Eliza Emery of Nashville and Mrs. Irene Gaskill of rural Hastings were after-church Sunday callers on Mrs. Emery’s son, Wesley Emery, and family at Hastings. Thursday evening visitors of Mrs. Theresa Hess of Nash­ ville were her granddaughter, Kyle Rodocker, and Kyle’s fiance of Kalamazoo. Mrs. Jack (Virginia Hess) Green, a former village resident now of Melbourne, Florida, underwent surgery there last Wednesday and, at this writing, is still confined at a Melbourne hospital. Two representatives of the “Mighty-Mini Tractor Pullers” club of Olivet were in Nashville last Wednesday evening to discuss with the RRDC the possibility of staging a tractor pull, by stock and modified garden tractors, during Nashville’s Harvest Festival. Local entries would be welcome, and trophies and ribbons awarded the winners. The club prefers to pull on a paved surface. Nothing definite was determined by the RRDC until a suitable location and Nashville Heating Sales and Service Nashville Church of Nazarene celebrate 61st anniversary 205% S.

Lois Elliston has been making numerous phone calls to line up entries for Nashville’s 1979 Harvest FestivalHomecoming parade, slated for Saturday afternoon, Sept. 29. The event will be in conjunction with Maple Valley’s annual homecoming celebration, terminating at Fuller St. football field for a 3 p.m. game between MVHS and Carson City. An affirmative agreement to appear in Nashville’s parade was recently received from a favorite past entry: the Battle Creek-based Shriner’s “Mini-T Auto Patrol.” Assisting Lois with the parade are Suzy Corkwell and Irene Goodnoe, volunteers working with the RRDC committee. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Beard of Nashville recently welcomed home their daughter, Barbara Sitzman, and. family returning from a 3-year stay in Germany. Barbara’s husband, Chief Master Sgt. Harold Sitzman had been stationed in Germany with the U.S. Air Force and now has a new assignment at Mt. Home, Idaho. After a 2-weeks visit here, the Sitzmans left for the west. Barbara is a former village resident and 1955 NHS graduate. The Nashville Lions and wives will meet for dinner Monday, Sept. 17, at St. Cyril’s Community Hall. This is the first dinner meeting of the fall season. Doug Vogt, 1st Vice President, of the organization is acting as program chair­ man for this year’s events. A family fun day awaits folks at Sandyland Park Sunday, Sept. 16, in % fund-raiser to aid Nashville’s fire and am­ bulance departments. At 10 a.m. local firefighters and their wives will be competing with other Barry County depart­ ments in a waterball contest, followed by a bucket .brigade. Free pony rides for the kids, balloons, free sandwiches, ice tea and lemonade will be furnished for the admission price of $4 adults and $2 children. Kids under six will be admitted free. At 1 p.m. entertainers from throughout Michigan will be on stage for a talent competition. All proceeds of the day will be split three ways. Nashville’s fire and ambulance departments (now separate entities) will each receive a third and the park will receive a third. This is an excellent chance for folks to support these life-saving community services and have a whole bunch of fun at the same time. Mrs. Avis Elliston enjoyed several family visitors last week. Friday, her sister, Mrs. Iva Syswerda of Lansing came to see* her. Saturday callers were her brother and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Merlin Gage of Grass Creek. And Wednesday visitors were another sister and her husband, Ada and John Johnson of Gun Lake. Mrs. Leah (Walrath) Partridge, a Nashville native now of Flint, was in Nashville last Tuesday to call on Richard and Margaret Engle and family, and also visited this reporter. Mrs. Walrath’s keen memory of Nashville’s early years has added many notes to our file for future “Memories” features. Her father was the late Hiram Walrath. Nash­ ville’s well-known and beloved musician and director. A performance by South Haven gospel singer, Rev. Mike Stambaugh, will be presented at 7 p.m. services, Sunday, Sept. 16, at the Nashville Baptist Church.. The legendary “hillbilly” fued between the Hatfields and McCoys will be the theme of an October challenge between the Nashville Baptist Church and Lake Center Bible Church at Portage, in an effort to top each other in Sunday School attendance that month. A highlight of the Nashville event will be October 13 and 14 appearance of evangelist Charles Hughes, an internationally-known speaker from the Thomas Road Baptist Church at Lynchburg, Virginia. The public is cordially invited to attend these services. Golden Agers of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet for a noon potluck dinner at the Community House on Thursday, Sept. 13. Two coats of off-white paint were applied last week to the ceiling of a second-floor room at Putnam Library, being renovated as a memorial to the late John and Catherine Beedle. Dale Morawski did the job of covering the dark green dropped ceiling, which had seemed to dominate the room.

But the village’s first in­ strument for transmitting voice by wire may have been a product of purely local ingenuity. In April 1878, just two years after Alexander Graham Bell developed the first telephone, E. L. Parrish of Nashville rigged a homemade phone between his home and the Michigan Central Railroad depot. The device, according to a Nashville News of that date, worked “very well.” However, it was another twenty years before the genuine article appeared on the local scene. “At last, after a great deal of false alarm, Nashville is to have a telephone ex­ change,” announced the News in April 1898. “The plant is to be installed in Ed Liebhauser’s drug store.” Michigan Telephone Company would begin erecting poles at once, the report said, and “service will commence as soon as instruments arrive.” Though far more advanced than Parrish’s early rig, Nashville’s new phone system did not offer ex- 207 MAIN STREET V “Phones have been installed during the last few weeks in the homes of Wm. Titmarsh, J. L. Wotring, Billy Smith, C. H. Oversmith, David Mc­ Clelland, Elmer Swift, John Lake, and Stephen Benedict.” By April 1902 the phone company had begun fitting up rooms over Mrs. 0. M. Beck’s millinery shop (adjacent to the drug store in what is now the north portion of the bank) to install another switchboard, to provide the village with continuous day and night service. Cables, each con­ taining 50 wires, were strung along Main Street to Operators worked night and day to handle calls through Nashville's "Central" eliminate the confusing until dial phones were installed in the village in 1938 by Michigan Bell.

An overabundance of phone service plagued some rural folks by 1905. “There is considerable strife in Maple Grove and Assyria Township between rival telephone gangs operating in the PHONE area,” disclosed the News. “The trouble is between Citizens Telephone Co. of Nashville and Citizens Co. of Bellevue. Some farmers are ending up with three dif­ ferent telephone services.” The multiple lines left far­ mers in a quandary, leading 60s to talk of a countywide consolidation* of the various systems.

Service was encompassed within a trinagle formed by Lentz Table Company on the east side of town, the Downing Bros. plant on the north, and J. B. Mar­ shall’s elevator near the railroad on South Main.' “A few homes within these boundaries probably will also have telephones,” predicted the News, “and quite a number of stores are expected to sign up.” A year later phone service was expanding at a fast clip, though it took some com­ petition to bring lines across rural areas. By April 1899 Citizen Telephone Company was speeding lines to Nashville. “Poles are going up rapidly for the Citizens Telephone line being strung from Hastings,” noted the News. “The line is coming to Nash­ ville by way of Thornapple Lake, Morgan, and along the road east of Price’s cor­ ners.” Citizens Telephone, headquartered in Hastings, continued to maintain the local plant in quarters above Liebhauser’s (now Simon’s) drug store. And service continued to expand, with rapidly-extended rural lines. “Many of our farmer friends now are connected with the village by wire,” observed the news in Sept. 1901.

(Matt. 27:22) This is the mos4 important question that you will ever have to answer in this life. Your acceptance or rejection of Jesus Christ is the deter­ mining factor on whether you will spend eternity in heaven or hell (John 3:36, I John 5:11 13). It matters not whether you are rich, righteous or religious, for the Bible says we are all sinnners and the wages of sin is death, which finds its consumation in the Lake of Fire.

"The Mirrors image „xiie miuow luiaae The traditional methods of producing maple syrup used by Wayne Pennock, 10404 Lawrence Rd., Nashville are featured in the summer edition of “Extension Quarterly”, a publication of the Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service. The article, headlined “Potential for Growth in Maple Industry Almost Unlimited”, discussed the methods and markets for maple' syrup producers in the state. Pennock’s operation is featured because of its large production using traditional methods. . ’ “His sugarhouse in the woods has been in regular use for about 90 years,” the article says. “His father made syrup there, and his grandfather before him.” Pennock relies soley on the bucket system to harvest sap from some 700 taps on his own land, it continues. He also buys sap from nearly that many more, paying for it with a share of the finished syrup. “Though he was one of the local pioneers in the use of tubing and vacuum pumps, he reverted to buckets,” the Extension Service reported. Pennock said in the article he was happy with using pails and it gives him a chance to give jobs to the high school boys that gather sap. SUMMER CLEARANCE! Prices reduced for quick sale on...

Mark Twain once said cauliflower was nothing more than cabbage with a college education. If thisJs true, our state’s cauliflower growers “graduated” thi-ee million pounds in 1978 to maintain a sixth place rank in the United States, ac­ cording to the Michigan Department of Agriculture. Although the 1978 production was only half of the previous year, predic­ tions are good for this years, harvest. Cauliflower acreage is fairly stable each year and located primarily in Allegan, Macomb, St. Clair, Oceana and Bay counties. As with most crops, production depends on weather and harvest conditions. Cauliflower’s creamy white color is achieved by blanching heads in the field. This is a laborious job of hand-tying larger outside leaves up over developing heads with twine or rubber bands. (Exposure to sunlight discolors the curd.) Heads are cut by hand when about six inches in diameter and carried to sheds for packing, harvest usually begins about August 1 and continues to Novem­ ber. Cauliflower. is excellent raw, cooked and combined with your favorite cheese sauce or topped with but­ tered bread crumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Wednesday September 12 1979 — Page 8 Maple Valley Tall Sports Review’ Competition starts on Maple Valley Football squad Dan Watson’s Maple Valley Lions were rebuilding last year following a 7 - 2 season in *77. Watson was blessed with a nearly intact offensive line last year, but the team struggled to a 4 - 5 season “We lost some pretty good ballpayers to graduation last year," Watson said. He cited all-state offensive and defensive tackle Andy Joostberns and all-area linebacker and fullback Ken Hansbarger as examples “Some of those spots are awfully hard to fill,” Watson continued, but observed his team is spirited and “There is competiton for the starting lineup.” Maple Valley lost 14 seniors and has 11 returning lettermen. They are Vern Sargent, Jeff Mead, Allan Gardner, Dennis Yost, Ray Hole, Dan Watson, Ken Wood, Doug Cook, Don Beck, Don Fox, Brian Hamilton, and Joe Brooke. Watson noted his team was 4 - 3 in conference play last year. “All our wins were in the conference and we lost one real close game, 6 - 0, at Central Montcalm,” he said. Maple Valley finished fourth behind Saranac, Central Montcalm and Lakeview in the Tri-Central Athletic Association last year. Watson is cautiously op­ timistic about Maple Valley chances this season.“I’m really pleased with the progress we’ve made,” Watson said, but he added, “We’ve got a long way to g°” Watson has a small team. “We’re a small class C school,h Watson said. He said the MV football team is not composed of heavyweights. “We expect to be outweighed man for man in most games,” he said.

Maple Valley’s golf coach Mike Booher has a small team and has lost his four best players from last season. “One graduated, one didn’t come out, one’s an exchange student and one went out for football,” Booher said. Booher has three returning lettermen, Dan Me Clintock, Jeff Weiler and Roger Drake. “More than half our team are sophmores,” Booher said. He thinks that means well for the future, but this year, “Could be a struggle to stay out of last place.” Booher said Central Montcalm HS is, “Probably the best team in the Tri­ Central League — followed by Lakeview and Portland.” Booher said Central Mont­ calm will be in contention for the state Class C cham­ pionship. But Booher believes his team will be fighting for improvement over last season’s 2 - 12 record. “We only have nine guys out for golf but Drake and Weiler are excellent players and should do the job for us,” he said.

Reese said Portland, Lakeview and Montabella will be strong schools in the league this season, “And with a little luck, a couple of upsets, we’ll be right there in the middle of it.” “Portland will start two girls over six feet tall and Lakeview will be returning the league’s most valuable player,” Reese observed. He said he’ll be relying on floor leader Julie Barlow and first team all-Lansing area class C player Tuesday Aspinal to spark the Lions. “Aspinall is a fine player she’s been in our program since eighth grade and I’ve coached her all but one of those years,” Reese com­ mented Reese said he has some good talent up from last season’s junior varsity squad,, including Laurie Decker, who, “Should be a big help to us, along with several other players.” Ready to cheer on the football team in brand new uniforms are members of the Maple Valley Varsity cheerleading- squad: Angie Webb, Sandy Hulbert, Donna Steinbrecher, Sherry Kraai, Dawn Wells, Darla Sherman and Tammie Frank.

Desrochers has three returnees from last year’s team and said new runners from every class are out for the squad this season. “We’re sure to strengthen ourselves,” he said. He said his team hopes to play as well or better than last year. “But we lost our numbers one and three singles players, and we’re weak on doubles due to inexperience,” he noted. Sampson said Chris shaw will be his number one singles player;- Barb Harris number two. “Three and four are up in the air,” he said. “Sometimes it helps to have played a tough in­ dependent schedule when you get into regionals,” Sampson commented.

Michigan motorists have started driving slower and State Police Troopers have noted a definite im­ provement in voluntary speed compliance according to Department Director, Col. Gerald L. Hough. State Police officials last week announced a steppedup enforcement policy regarding the 55 mile-perhour speed limit, advising motorists that citations would be issued for any speed exceeding 60 milesper-hour. Speeds above 55 m.p.h. would be closely monitored with verbal warnings issued according to the directive. “What we hoped for, happened,” Hough said. “Drivers responded to the warning and voluntarily slowed down.” Hough said that this was evident during the Labor Day weekend, when troopers issued 12,347 citations, down from some 15,000 written over the same period in 1978. Other statistics revealed that of the 8,000 tickets written for violation of the 55 Barry County CALENDAR of EVENTS September 12 - 4-H Saddle Leaders meeting, 7:30 p.m., Extension Office, Hastings September 12 - Barry County Nutrition Council, 9:30 a.m., Extension Office, Hastings September 14 - State Swine Field Day, Michigan State University September 19 - 4-H Dairy Developmental Committee meeting, 8 p.m., Extension Office, Hastings September 22 - State 4-H Foundation Annual meeting, 9 a.m., Room 332, MSU Union, East Lansing September 24 - 4-H Livestock Appreciation Banquet, 7 p.m., Community Building, Fairgrounds, Hastings September 25-27 - Farm Progress Show, Crawfordsville, Indiana September 26 - Barry County Nutrition Council, 1 p.m., Extension Office, Hastings September 29-30 - 2nd Annual Barry County 4-H Competitive Trail Ride, Yankee Springs October 1 - Barry County MAEH Council, 1:30 p.m., Ex­ tension Office, Hastings October 3- Family Issues in Nutrition Day, 9 a.m.-2:45 p.m., Community Building, Hastings - open to the public October 4 - All 4-H Developmental Committees and Leaders meeting, 8 p.m., Community Building, Fairgrounds, Hastings October 3-7 - World Dairy Expo, Madison, Wisconsin October 6 - Poinsettia Seminar, 1-5 p.m., Horticulture Building, MSU campus, East Lansing October 7-13 - National 4-H Week m.p.h. limit, about 1900 were issued to drivers going 65 m.p.g. or less.

The council had advertised for cash bids on the property which they acquired in 1974 in order to retain control of the Thornapple River dam, and the village intends to reserve an easement to the dam for maintenance pur­ poses. An old mill structure on the site was razed by the village in 1977. Village President Harold Christiansen referred the bids to a select committee comprised of Trustees Ray Hinckley, Ted Spoelstra, and Forrest Babcock, for study and recommendation to the council. Trustee Sandra Kohfeldt pointed out that a few local residents had recently voiced objections to the village’s planned disposal of the mill site property. They had favored retaining it as a park or boat launch area. She asked for public inpfit on the matter at the next council meeting, en­ couraging those with op­ posing opinions to attend and be heard by the council. In other action Thursday the council: -Extended the dealine for payment of village property taxes without penalty from Sept. 17 to October 20. -Agreed to advertise for applicants to fill three vacant seats on Nashville’s Planning and Zoning Commission and one opening on the Zoning Board of Appeals. -Approved DPW em­ ployees Lariy Corkwell and Scott Decker attending a 4­ day Wastewater Stablization Lagoon Course sponsored by Michigan DNR at MSU’s Gull Lake Conference Center the last week of September, and both taking a January training course on Wastewater Analysis. -Accepted with regrets the resignation of Myrna Wolf as Secretary-Treasurer of the Lakeview Cemetery Board.

Last school year the state paid $46,169.00. As the local valuation increases.the state share decreases. The original bond issue in 1963 was in the amount of $1,420,000, and the balance June 30, 1979 was $795,000. The bid submitted by State Farm Mutual Insurance Company for school bus fleet insurance and coverage on other vehicles and tractors was accepted by the board members. The bid was in the amount of $4,821.22 and covers the period October 1, 1979 through September 30, 1980. The annual financial report as prepared by the school auditor was approved for filing with the State Department of Education. The cash balance June 30, 1979 was $417,922 Compared with a balance of $429,002 on Jpne 30, 1978. Delinquent taxes receivable amounted to $4,494, and these delinquent taxes are basically prior to 1975.

Andy is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard-Radway, East Lansing, who was born without legs or a left arm. It’s time again for the WCER “Super-ride ‘79’ Bikea-thon’1 to be held Saturday, September 29. Registration begins at 8 a.m. Proceeds from the ride will be used to continue the services of the Jean Granger March of Dimes Prenatal clinic in Lansing, national birth defects research, areas of direct patient aid, prenatal care as well as public and professional education. Bikers will start at the Country Mill on Otto Road (one-half mile north of Vermontville Highway). Bikes will then travel west on Vermontville Highway, then northwest on Clinton Trail to Mulliken Road; north on Mulliken Road to Needmore; east on Need^ more to Otto Road and south on Otto Road to the start point. This circuit must be completed three times for 50 miles. To quench the biker’s thirst, the Country ‘'Mill will furnish free drinks and a snack. The ride should last approximately six hours. Bikers may bring a lunch if desired. The Eaton County CRW (Radio Watch) will be on hand to set up check points and drive the route to be of assistance to the riders throughout the ride as well as an officer from the Eaton County Sheriff Department. If a need should arise an EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) will be there to assist. Last year March of Dimes purchased equipment for the delivery room at Eaton Rapids Community Hospital. Early this year HayesGreen-Beech Hospital in Charlotte received new equipment. Most of the equipment was essential in keeping alive babies who are born prematurely, but some of the equipment can be used on adults as well. Prior to the ride, bikers 12 years and older can pick up sponsor sheets at the REMINDER office in Hastings, WCER Radio Station, area schools and the March of Dimes office in Lansing (482-1249) or call JoeAnn Nehmer, Eaton County Bike-a-thon chair­ man, in Vermontville at 726­ 1019. Each participant is responsible for obtaining sponsors and collecting pledge money after the ride is completed. All par­ ticipants will receive March of Dimes Super-ride cer­ tificates. The person having the most pledges collected and turned in to the March of Dimes by October 15 will win the first prize of a 10-speed bicycle from Coast to Coast in Charlotte. The secqnd highest will win the second prize of a chance to be a D.J. on WCER’s Morning Show. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, September 19, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News A sign of the times: Nashville’s Chamber of Commerce, at their meeting last Wednesday, discussed installation of hitching posts on Main Street. In early years, hitching posts and rails lined our village’s thoroughfares. Many private residences .also had such conveniences (we still do) and one still stands in a concrete base near the Kellogg School. Now, with the skyrocketing cost of gasoline, perhaps a return to the old ways is imminent. Anyway, Herb Andler, owner of Mapleleaf Morgan Horse Farm on Guy Road and Manufacturer of Justin Buggys, has suggested to Chanjber president Charles Andrus, Jr., that at least one or two htiching posts be installed on Main Street. Andler often, drives to town in a buggy to shop and take his children to school. Incidentally, the removal of all hitching posts from Main Street was a civic project undertaken by the Woman’s Literary Club some 50 years ago. Last Wednesday, a few Chamber members suggested placing a hitching post at every Main Street parking spot (not as a necessity, but as a novelty that would put Nashville on the map and, perhaps, in the national news). Isn’t it interesting how times change our ideas of “civic improvement”? Parades cost money to stage, a little-known fact that enlightened many Chamber memt^prs last week. Antique auto clubs, bagpipe bands, specialty acts, etc. do not appear for “free” as countless folks seem to believe. In some cases these groups charge a set fee (often $100 or more) while others ask a donation toward a charitable organization4hey represent. A conservative estimate of staging a colorful parade (with other than local talent) is $300 to $500. Chamber members learned this Wednesday during a discussion of the RRDC’s struggle to stage an annual Ready to care for your hair. Weekdays and Evenings by appointment!

Food for thought for civic-minded folks who enjby the traditional celebrations each year. An interesting phenomenon of nature was reported last week by Mrs. Harold (Jo) Christiansen of Nashville. Blooming in the yard of her neighbor, Mrs. Luella Faulkner of Church Street, are wild violets. Usually these delicate flowers only appear in early spring. Perhaps our recent sporadic warm and cold spells have fooled Mother Nature. Clayton Newland of Nashville enjoyed a trip north last week to fish for coho salmon on Manistee Lake. Ac­ companying him on the expedition were two Battle Creek friends. Mrs. Bertha Becker of Nashville was a weekend guest of her son’s family, the Dale Dotys of Charlotte, and enjoyed attending the Frontier Days parade and festivities there. Mr. apd Mrs. Doty’s grown children and their families were all home' for Sunday dinner. Recent visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Tegel of Nashville were his grandson and family, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Tegel and daughter, of Granite City, Illinois. They were Friday through Wednesday guests at the Tegel home. Mrs; Caroline Jones of Nashville was a weekend guest of Mrs. Thelma Seaver of Battle Creek. The Nashville Senior Citizens organization will meet for a noon potluck dinner at the V.F.W. Hall Wednesday, Sep- ‘ tember 19. A program is planned but at the time of this report had not been announced. A lady who has made and kept countless friendships over her 85 years was recently honored when 98 admirers at­ tended an open house to celebrate the occasion of her bir­ thday. The Nashville home of Mrs. George H. (Marguerite) Wilson was overflowing with well-wishers Saturday af­ ternoon, Sept. 8. One of Marguerite’s first chums, from a 80years-ago kindergarten class, was a special guest. Now Mrs. Elizabeth Starns of Battle Creek, she and Marguerite became friends when they entered school together in what was then a Baptist Chapel on S. W. Capital Ave. there. Several other Battle Creek friends were also present at the event including two ladies, Mrs. Doris Gifford and Mrs. Lillian Fox, who worked with Marguerite at Grand Leader Department Store in Battle Creek during the depression years. Maguerite was employed many years at the store. Earlier she had been with the old Oliver Corp, there and during World War II worked for Eatons in Battle Creek. She moved to Nashville in 1952 when she married George H. Wilson, a well-known Nashville insurance agent who is now deceased. Among the many out-of-town guests were Julia McIntosh, Ethel Rau, Lelia Venn, and Florence Harton, all o%Battle Creek; Mr. and Mrs. Arlie Gasnell of Hickory Corners; and Mr. and Mrs. Otto Christensen of Charlotte. The Open House was hosted by two of Mrs. Wilson’s neigh­ bors, Mrs. Jerry Kent and Mrs. Richard Engle, and her daughter, Mrs. Marian Cousineau of Battle Creek. Following the event, a party of 27 out-of-town guests and hosts enjoyed dinner at the Steakhouse Restaurant. Wednesday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Adrien Pufpaff of Nashville were his brothers and their wives, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Pufpaff of New Smyrna Beach, Florida, and Mr. and Mrs. Alva Pufpaff of Dowling. The Herbert Pufpaffs have been visiting in Michigan the past month and expected to depart for home this week. Big news in Nashville last week was Tuesday’s over­ whelming vote to improve the village’s present sewer system. Voters by 206-54 approved acceptance of an estimated $3.5 million in state and federal grants offered for the project and consented to issuance of bonds to finance the approximate $1.3 million local share. Nashville has been under order of Michigan’s Dept, of Natural Resources since 1968 to clean up pollution of the Thomapple River by effluent discharged into the stream from the village’s present, wastewater treatment facility. The new project will build a ' special lagoon-and-irrigation type treatment plant on Brumm Road northwest of town and extend additional collection lines to 183 new customers, plus 40 homes now served on septic systems running into storm drains that flow into the river and Quaker Brook. Plans also call for replacement of a Lentz Street collection line serving 27 homes, in order to avoid installation of a costly lift station in that area of town. Williams and Works of Grand Rapids are engineers on the project. Construction bids are expected to be let after property acquisition, easements, and local share financing is set. The Nashville Police Dept, handled 43 complaints during August the village council was advised in a monthly activity report given at Thursday’s meeting by Sgt. Gene Koetje, Acting Chief. Among them were four bad checks, two lar­ cenies, one assault and battery, three fights, and two malicious destruction of property complaints. The depart­ ment also assisted Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, eight times during the month on a variety of complaints. Nashville police issued four moving violations and 25 parking tickets in August, and logged 2,178 miles on the cruiser using 196 gallons of gas. The first three weeks of August the departmenthad only one officer; a second was hired August 23. A family reunion at the home pf Donna and Louis Hickey of rural Nashville welcomed her sister and brother-in-law, Madelyn and Bill Davidson who are here from Brookings, Oregon for a visit. There were 57 present for the Sunday gathering at the Hickey’s. The Davidsons have also called on her other sister and two brothers and families here: Marie and Gayion Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Smith, and Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Smith, all of Nashville? The Davidsons will also be spending some time with Bill’s family in the Charlotte area. Mrs. Myrtle Graham of Nashville enjoyed a visit last weekend from her two sisters of Dayton, Ohio: Mrs. ChrystaP Victory and Mrs. Irene Weaver. Accompanying them to Michigan were Mrs. Victory’s daughter and family, Yvonne and Keith Jennings and children, Kristen and Kirk. Sunday callers at the Graham home were Mr. and Mrs. Richard Graham and daughter, Autumn, of Delton. Bill Face of Nashville, who has undergone recent surgery at the Veteran’s Hospital at Ann Arbor, is now recuperating at home. He is reported to be recovering very well. We hope to see him out and around soon as Main Street doesn’t seem the same without him. Bill is also quite a noted bike rider and in recent years won a trophy as the oldest entrant in the Harvest Bike Race. Speaking of which, reminds us that Sandi Christie has volunteered to chair a similar 1979 contest. (The RRDC had almost given it up for lack of a chairperson). The Saturday morning race, Sept. 29, is open to all ages and plans are to have it on the new parking lot downtown. Details are available by phoning Sandi at 852-9513 after 5 p.m. Nashville’s new pumper-tanker got initiated Wednesday night when the local Fire Department was summond about 11 p.m. to a barn fire on Ionia Road, six miles north of Vermontville.

All three fire departments were on the scene; Nashville for two hours, Vermontville about three, while Sunfield stood by throughout the night. The fire, at the former Stanley Howe farm was discovered by a passerby who notified neighbors tto call for help. (No one was home at the farmhouse at the time). The large dairy operation suffered extensive damage, ^ome loss of livestock, and sieable loss of rations and equipment. One Nashville fireman reports he was very impressed with the assistance given by neighbors in the area, said to be a very close-knit community. All pitched in to help in any way they could during the catastrophe. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ackett of Nashville returned home last Wednesday following a month-long visit to Renton, Washington to visit his son and family, the Harold Acketts. Fred and Marguerite enjoyed several family gatherings and picnics and made two trips to the Pacific coast. Over Labor Day weekend they camped at the Camp of 1,000 Trails near Chehalis. They had some rain, but temperatures ranged into the 70’s in the daytime and 50’s at night. Fred, a noted “rock hound”, enjoyed an excursion to the State Fair at Puyallup ^where he chatted with several rock exhibitors thdre. He carried along a few of his favorite petrified Michigan specimens to show the west coast collectors, who were amazed he had found such unusual rocks so close to home. (Fred does most of his “rock picking” in our local area.) The Acketts flew to Washington via Grand Rapids and Chicago. Leisure Time Shows, of Ionia, contacted last week by members of the RRDC committee, agreed to appear at Nashville’s 1979 Harvest Festival. The company will provide a carnival midway for the Sept. 28 and 29 event. Featured will be seven rides and other amusements, mostly geared for the younger generation. Mrs. Esther Buckley of Nashville suffered an ill spell last week and was confined at home at the time of this report. A houseguest last week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Vern Hawblitz of Nashville was a longtime family friend, Mrs. Helen Sihler of Evergreen Park, Illinois. Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis of Nashville enjoyed attending the recent Saturday open house in honor of Mrs. Marguerite Wilson’s 85th birthday. The following day, Mrs. Curtis was a Sunday dinner guest of her son and family, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Curtis of Nashville, at the Steakhouse restaurant. Two shopping excursions were enjoyed last week by Mrs. Elsie Ramsey and Mrs. Arlie Stambaugh of Nashville. The first trip was to Battle Creek where they also enjoyed a movie at the Columbia theater, and the second trip was to Charlotte. Mrs. Stambaugh was a Monday and Tuesday' houseguest of Mrs. Ramsey. The Nashville ambulance crew was called out during Maple Valley’s opening football game of the season Friday, when a Potterville player sustained injuries.. He was transported to Ingham Medical Center in Lansing for treatment. Sunday evening proved to be a hectic 2 or 3 hours stint for the local ambulance crew. Shortly after 6:30 p.m. they were called to the 400 block of Washington Street when a man fell off his bicycle. No soonet* had they transported him home than a call was received reporting a man on East Sherman was having difficulty breathing. The ambulance rushed him to Pennock where he received treatment and was later ■released. w Returning to their home base, the 'Nashville ambulance was then summoned to Barryville hill on M-79 when a serious roll-over accident injured the driver Notice of Public Hearing Thursday, September 20,1979, at 7:00 P.M. at the KERCLEAHK nFinikW ta,lwh* Castletown Township Hall in Nashville.

Authorities estimate the truck with Iowa plates tumbled end-for-end three times before stopping. Debris was scat­ tered over more than fifty yards. The cab, containing the driver who was alone in the vehicle, was separated com­ pletely from the chassis and found some distance away. The man, who is employed by a repair crew working on the K-BE Connecting Railway in the Nashville area, was taken to Pennock Hospital and confined there with multiple injuries. Those viewing the wreckage at the scene say he was lucky to have escaped with his life. The Nashville Fire Dept, and police also assisted at the accident.* — Nashville Church of the Nazarene is cordially inviting the public to attend three special Sunday services, Sept. 30, to celebrate the 61st anniversary of the church. Former pastors will be present for the occasion which also includes music and a potluck fellowship dinner. Who or what is C.A.T.? They are apparently responsible for the recent cleanup of the Thornapple River millrace along the old mill site on North Main. A quantity of debris which has been clogging the spillway for some time was recently lifted out of the chasm, up over the cement block walls on each side. Except for a heavy old metal safe still lying in the bottom of the race, the iron, brick and wood debris could now be easily trucked away. The village council had recently considered hirings crane to clear the spillway so water could be diverted there during necessary repair work on the Thornapple River dam. The anonymous volunteers left only one clue to their identity. Painted neatly on the sidewalls of the race is the message: “Project CAT 1979. Feel free to help.” Charles Hughes, an internationally-known evangelist from the Thomas Road Baptist Church at Lynchburg, Virginia will speak at the Nashville Baptist Church October 13 and 14. The public is cordially invited to attend these special services. Mrs. William (Sonya) Kjergaard of Nashville underwent knee surgery at Pennock Hospital on Sept. 6 and is now recovering nicely at home, though she must stay off her feet for a while.

Payment may be made to Village Treasurer Lois Elliston by October 20 without penalty. Twenty-one ladies, members of the Nashville Baptist Church PSC Missionary Group, enjoyed a recent outing to Grand Rapids for dinner at Arnie’s Bakery. The journey was made on a church bus driven by Earl De Groot, father of Pastor Lester De Groot. The highlight of a lovely evening was the revealing of each member’s “secret pal” for the past year. New “secret pal” names will be exchanged at the next scheduled meeting of the group. A letter received last week from Wayne Fuller, a Nash­ ville native now of Toledo, added an interesting footnote to the recent “Memories” on Nashville’s early telephone exchange. “Back in those days news did hot travel very fast,” writes Fuller. "When anything big happened 'the telephone operators would spread the news.” She would ring a Jong ring on party lines and those with phones would pick up the receivers and listen to the operator give the news. “I can remember that is how we heard about the ending of World War I,” recalls Fuller. “I was out in the field with my dad, and my mother came running to let us know.” Wayne Fuller also expressed appreciation for the recent Memories on the Class of 1925 and an interest in knowing the whereabout of those still living. Kenneth A. Meade, a Nash­ ville native now of Franklin, wrote to say the same. If anyone knows the whereabouts of the Class of 1925 members not still in Nashville, we would appreciate hearing about that to pass along for interested readers. Incidentally, Meade, an adjunct professor of engineering at Oakland University at Rochester, recently received an honorary doctor of science degree at Sept. 15th ceremonies at the school.

THE FARM BOSS IS DESIGNED TO LAST YOU TWICE AS LONG AND COST YOU HALF AS MUCH. Nashville Cub Scout news — School Night for Cub Scouting was held with the regular September Pack Meeting. There are 32 new Cub Scouts and 8 new Leaders. The boys will be notified this* week about when and where their dens will be meeting. Sally Peake entertained the kids with a nickerchief slide making project, assisted by Bob Raub, Claudia Finkler and Lucy Martin. Meanwhile Cubmaster Kenneth Meade informed the parents what Cubing involved and asked each area to get together and discuss which parents wanted to be den leaders for their area. They had already been shown a film about a boy and his scout ex­ periences, and given a lot of reading material containing scouting information. Pack meeting business consisted of handing out the Tote-N-Chip cards earned by the boys at the recent campout and membership cards given to Cubs and leaders. Refreshments were served concluding the meeting. We are very pleased by the interest shown by the new Cubs and the parents who attended, especially those who are the new leaders. There are now 70 Scouts in Nashville and we hope to provide a program for them that will contribute to each boy’s experiences and the community.

It was a way of life. Canned goods were far and few between in those early days, and a tin can became a prized possession of many a young fisherman. “About the only canned goods in those days were Lillian and John Appelman show well-stocked store interior, about 1915 . Tobacco counter at left advertises Sunshine cigarettes. Free sulphur matches attracted youngsters as did the wide candy selection.

The Appelman’s sons, Harry and Arthur, helped out in the store.. “Art delivered groceries for Uncle John,” recalls Vern. “Baskets lined one wall of the store.” They were used for filling phoned-in grocery orders, transported by horse and wagon to the waiting customer. Such purchases were generally charged. Credit buying of groceries was an accepted practice back in those days. A weekly tab was run by many customers. “Most everything was put on the books,” remembers Vada Hummel Mix who clerked in the store in the early 1920’s. “Folks paid once a week, when they got their paycheck.” Sometimes payment came through receipt of other commodities. “Farmers traded eggs and butter for groceries,” recalls Mrs. Mix. “When I worked at the store, Milan Cooley’s job was to candle all the eggs received.” All goods bought from other than local suppliers were shipped into town by rail and picked up at the freight depot by the Appelmans. A horse and wagon, or dray as they were called, trucked the groceries the few blocks to the store. Appelman’s Grocery was a special delight to local youngsters who were at­ tracted to spacious candy displays in the front of the store. “If we got a nickel, we would go to Uncle John’s,” reminisced Vern. “He would never weigh the candy, he’d just scoop up a big bunch for us and away we’d go.” x Another attraction for children in those early years were large sulpher matches ■left in loose quantities, free for the taking, on the store’s counters. “We kids probably weren’t supposed to help ourselves to those, but we did,” said Vera “They were mainly for men who bought cigars there.” Appelman’s carried an extensive line of cigars, cigarettes and tobaccos. Matches weren’t the only bulk items in the store. “Not many foods were packaged in those days,” remembers Vern. Fresh ground coffee, white and brown sugar, tea, flour cookies, soda crackers, dried fruits and cheese were a few items sold by weight dispensed from large corv tainers. Even shortening was sold by the pound, scooped from wooden storage kegs in the back room. “Dried sweet corn was also sold by the poundd at Appelmarjls,” recalls Mrs. Mix. “A lady living north of town cut corn from the cob and dried it.” To prepare it cooking later, for housewives would soak the dried corn in water overnight. “I believe it tasted better than canned or frozen corn we get now,” noted Mrs. Mix. Appelman’s back room was filled with barrels of molasses, vinegar, and kerosene. Bushels of fresh fruit and vegetables, in season, and potatoes were other standard items stored in large quantities. “I often teased Uncle John that he used more potatoes on kerosene cans than he sold,” commented Vern. Containers brought to the store for fuel were often without caps. Appelman would stick a raw potato over the spout of a filled can as a makeshift stopper, so the customer could safely cany the fuel home. Appelman’s back room, like most general stores of that day, was a gathering spot for the community. There was a potbellied stove with rocking chairs nearby. “Men would sit around the stove and smoke until the air in the store was just blue," remembers one senior citizen who clerked in the store as a young girl for a 110 weekly salary, about 1917. Out front, a community well provided drinking water from a tin cup chained to the small hand pump. After Appelman’s moved their operation to the brick building on the west side of Main Street (now Nashville Flowers & Jewelry) they continued to sell groceries on credit. “Uncle John trusted everybody he could during the depression yean,” remembers Vern. “When he died, many folks still owed him.” In November 1936, three years after Roman Feldpausch opened his original Cont. next page — LOW PRICES ON U-40 ALSO 5 Reasons To Get Your Next Prescription Filled At Simon Pharmacy 1.

Later, the gas station was torn down to build the resent laundromat present laundromat.

Also everyone who was involved in the softball tournament and contributed so much. I’d like' to thank everyone in­ dividually but there just isn’t room. I’d just-like to say it’s great to live in a small community with so many big hearts. Helen Barlow CARDS OF THANKS Fifty students participated in the Hunter Safety class, offered through the en­ richment program of Maple Valley's community education program. All of the students passed the course and received hunter safety certificates which are needed to obtain their first hunting licenses. Each student received five shells during the class to try the skill of shooting at clay targets. Kurt Hartenburg emerged with the best record, shooting five targets out of five attempts. It was the first time a perfect score had been achieved in several years, said instructor Keith Greenwald. A demonstration of the use of a bow and arrow also was part of the class. Clay targets were donated by the Hastings Moose and shells were donated by Nashvillelfardware and South End Beverage. (Maple Valley News photos by Virginia Alles) Neil Johnson of Hastings assisted in the instruction of the Hunter Safety Class and demonstrated the use of the hand gun. In one of his demonstrations, Neil attempted to shoot through the center of 45 rpm records. He taught the students how to hold a hand gun and discussed aiming techniques, stance, and loading and unloading. Some of the students had an opportunity to fire the hand gun.

Youngsters in the swine program can learn to judge market animals, identify wholesale and retail cuts of pork, judge meat quality and learn principles of marketing, as well as raise market hogs and develop a continuous hog breeding operation.

Climbing Angel Vine flourishes at Nashville home — It's become a yearly tradition for Orville and Odell Sisk to grow a "Climbing Angel" at their home in Mead-O-Acres Mobile Home Park near Nashville. This year the unusual vine plant climbed beyond the top of their mobile home and is loaded with clumps of pods which resemble gigantic green beans. The longest one measures 15 inches, says Orville who adds that as far as he knows the bean­ like sprouts are not edible. The colorful seeds look like large lima beans speckled with purple and black-purple colors. The Sisks save some of the seeds each year to plant for the next. Mrs. Sisk sta/ted the plant in a bucket in the.spring and then transferred it outdoors when it was about two feet tall. The base of the plant has a tree-trunk appearance. One of the joys of growing the plant are the beautiful pink blossoms which bloom most of the summer, the couple say. A climbing angel the pair grew in Indiana reached 20 feet high.

TOGETHER AGAIN - The legislature returns for fall session this week. There are still a few budget bills to be approved, and several major bills containing revisions and consolidations of present laws are scheduled for debate in the near future. NO PRIMARY? - The Senate Republican Leader has now declared his support for HB 4392, which would abolish Michigan’s presidential primary. That bill must first clear the House, then be approved by the Senate: action will probably come soon. COMP DELAY - Although the special task force studying reform of the workers’ compensation systerh was supposed to meet again this month, issues involved in the auto­ contract talks have caused a delay, probably until at least October 1. LICENSE PACKAGE - The House will soon discuss HB 4114, which contains a new codification of laws licensing professions and occupations. This measure has been developed over the past four years to give uniformity to the licensing structure; it will also improve the handling of consumer complaints and give the public more input into the regulatory process. COURT PROPOSALS - A special Supreme Court com­ mittee has made 21 recommendations for improving state policy for sentencing criminals, including a handbook of guidelines for trial judges, and appellate courts being able to modify sentences. The State Bar has proposed “presump­ tive sentencing,” under which there is a particular, stan­ dard sentence for a particular crime. ABORTION REVERSAL - The Court of Appeals has ruled that Governor Milliken is operating within his constitutional powers when he authorizes publicly-funded abortions after vetoing restrictions in budget bills. This reverses a lower court ruling. This case has not been about abortion as such, but about the Governor’s powers with respect to budget items.

Evening appointments available! Vegetable production mixed Vegetable production in Michigan this year showed both increases and decreases depending on the commodity, according to the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service. The 1979 asparagus crop, estimated at approximately 22,900,000 pounds, (up 2 percent over last year), is the largest harvest since 1974. This production was from 18,000 acres, 2 percent more than was harvested last spring, while yield held equal to 1978 at 1,300 pounds per acre. There was an estimated 2,500 acres of strawberries picked this spring in Michigan, down 200 acres and continuing the down­ ward spiral started in the mid-1950’s. Yield per acre, at 54 hundredweight (cwt.), is down 5 percent from last summer but equal to 1977. Because of both lower acreage and yield, total production dropped 12 percent from last season. Production for the 1979 onion crop is forecast at 2,376,000 cwt., 3 percent smaller than last year’s crop, which was the highest production since the record was set in 1965. Onion acreage, at 7,200 acres for harvest, is equal to 1978. Yield is forecast at 330 cwt per acre, down 3 percent from last fall, accounting for the production decrease. Harvest was underway by mid-August. Contracted acreage for processing tomatoes is estimated at 6,300 harvested acres, an 1,800 acre increase over last year. Yields held almost steady at 18 tons per acre. Overall production is expected to be up 46 percent due to the large increase in acreage contracted this year. A cool, wet June caused harvest to start later than normal. At the U.S. level, asparagus production in major producing states is expected to be 1.92 million .cwt., 10 percent more than last year. The final 1979 estimate of strawberries in major producing states is placed at 5.70 million cwt, 7 percent below a year earlier. Total summer quarter onion production is placed at 33.0 million cwt., up 9 percent from 1978 summer quarter output. Production forecasts for seven major vegetables contracted for processing in 1979 total 11.3 million tons nationally, an increase of 11 percent from 1978. • NOTICE • The Village of Nashville has received three bids on the old Mill property located at North Main Street in Nashville.

They are apparently responsible for the recent cleanup of the Thornapple River millrace along the old mill site on North Main. A quantity of debris which has been clogging the spillway for some time was recently lifted out of the chasm, up over the cement block walls on each side. Except for a heavy old metal safe still lying in the bottom of the race, the iron, brick and wood debris could noW be easily trucked away. The village council had recently considered hiring a crane to clear the spillway so water could be diverted there during necessary repair work on the Thornapple River dam. The anonymous volunteers left only one clue to their identity. Painted neatly on the sidewalls of the race is the message: "Project CAT 1979. Feel free to help.

It's interesting to note that about a half century ago, the Woman’s Literary Club embarked on a civic improvement project to remove all the hitching posts on Main Street. The Chamber has tabled the project pending an investigation of thy need and cost of installing the posts. More details appear in stories by Susan Hinckley in this issue. What woe called a "stepping stone," to assist persons as they stepped out of a carriage is still intact at 603 Washington Street as property owner Roger Wells demonstrates. In the background is an attractive stone hitching post. This hitching post still stands at the Ray Hinckley residence on Reed Street. Although its presence has been symbolic of the past, it may turn out to be a sign of the times. (Maple Valley News photos by Elaine Gilbert) This photo depicts the hitching post near Kellogg School with Scott Sears (left) and Jassin Hamed, an exchange .student from Germany, inspecting the piece of history. - From front — Can You Sing, Dance or Strum??

Lakeview’s scoring drives went 52 yards in 11 plays, 54 yards in 13 plays, and 57 yards in 9 plays as the Lion defense could not find the right combinations. After Lakeview’s third score, the Lions roared back covering 59 yards in 8 plays to reach the Lakeview one yard line, but a penalty ended the Lion scoring threat. The first half ended with the 22-1 score. The Lions threatened to score twice in the second half, but again crucial penalties snuffed out opop­ portunities. ‘ The defense, however, had come to life and did not allow Lakeview to cross the mid-field stripe the entire second half. Maple Valley’s offensive output was primarily the result of 6 completed passes that went for 125 yards. Stan McClintock caught three for 68 yards, Todd Gearhart caught two for 20 yards, and Chris Beebe caught one for 37 yards. Beebe was also the leading rusher with 34 yards in 10 attempts while Doug Cook had 26,yards in 8 at­ tempts. The defense was led by Mighty-Mite Alan Gardner for the second week in a ?ow. Alan tallied 6 tackles and 6 assists. Doug Cook, Terry Pierce, Mark Siple, Jeff Meade, and Chris Beebe also played well defensively.

The certificates were awarded for “successful participation in ‘Project Fitness Phase II’ — a means of monitoring the physical fitness levels of students which is an important step toward helping them establish and maintain good physical fitness and health habits early in life.” The trio voluntarily at­ tended meetings in Grand Rapids and reported the results of Maple Valley students who participated in a test battery which included sit-ups, pull-ups (for boys), flex arm hang, 50 yard dash, 600 run walk, standing broad jump, and shuttle run. The results of the local test will be used with results in other parts of the state to establish state norms.

Bill came to Nashville from Diamondale and played on the 1913 NHS team. In his day, Bill recalls, football gear considered standard equipment today was almost non-existant for high school sports. “We had no helmets, no shoulder pads,” said Bill in a “Memories” interview earlier this year. “We just played football.” The team traveled to “away” games in their own autos, or sometimes by train. Since there was no artificial lighting available on the grounds then, games were played in the afternoon, generally following school. The home grounds for Nashville was the old Riverside athletic field, southwest of the present-day Nashville Hardware. There was a small covered bleacher area on the ground which also served as a baseball diamond in season. In the 1950's the field became a midget-auto race track. More recently it Has been virtually abandoned, though the field did host a two-ring circus this past summer. In an attempt to locate the oldest living Nashville football player, Ray Hinckley last week phoned Albert Nesman at East Jordan. He was a member of the 1910 NHS football team and graduated with the Class of 1912. Albert, unable to make the journey hdfe because he no longer drives, suggested Ray call his brother Harry (Class of 1915) at Lansing. Because of other committments he was also unable *, to appear, as was his brother Glen Nesman (Class of 1914) of Clare. Another brother, Carl Nesman (Class of 1917) also resides in Lansing. Two other members of the 1910 NHS football team are thought to be living. They are Newt By Susan Hinckley Trautman arid Glenn Giddings. But research for a “Memories” feature earlier this year failed to turn up their location. Meanwhile, Suzy Corkwell was busy last week making numerous calls to locate Nashville’s oldest living cheerleader, hoping to make the Grand Marshal of Satur­ day’s parade a duo. However, at this writing, she had been unable to turn up anything concrete after consulting several village sources. Mrs. Helen Hecker recalled that when her late husband, Vem, played football for Nashville in 1908 the cheerleaders were unofficial “volunteers”. Girls who wanted a free train ride to out - of - town games would offer to cheer for the local football team if allowed to ride to their destination with them. Football players were very popular fellows, she said. There is a good possibility that the first official cheerleader for Nashville High was actually a male. Although it may be too late to do anything about an ap­ pearance in Saturday’s parade, it would be interesting to learn more about early cheerleaders. Anyone with in­ formation may call or write this reporter. Congratulations to Iris Shaffer and George Hermenitt of our village who were married Saturday, Sept. 15, at the United Methodist Church in Nashville. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Gerald Salisbury, a retired Vermontville pastor. z Also united in marriage Saturday at Nashville’s United Methodist Church were Linda Sherman of Nashville and Stephen Moore of Hastings. She is the daughter of Mrs. Doreen Sherman of our village. Officiating was Rev. Leonard Putnam. Congratulations to the young couple. A recent Saturday afternoon at the Michigan International Speedway at Cambridge Junction near Jackson gave several Nashville folks a chance to watch Hastings native Gordon Johncock compete in two special races and emerge as winner of one.

One hundred years of history in Kent County community of Lowell are traced in an unusual book recently donated to Putnam Public Library by Mr. and Mrs. John Hamp of Nashville.

T., responsible for the recent cleanup of the spillway on the Thornapple River dam, is i a group of three young Nashville men: Chuck Beachnau, Andy Phenix, and Tim Phenix. C., A., and T. had been scuba diving in the Thornapple River near the millrace area when they decided to undertake the project after reading in the Maple Valley News that the village council was considering hiring a crane for the task. They succeeded in lifting a large quantity of iron, wood and brick debris out of the cement walled chasm so that it could be easily trucked away. Still lying in the bottom of the race is a heavy old iron safe. Metal tubing attached to the cement sidewalls of the race also needs to be sheared off before it can be carted away. The boys did all they could without benefit of cutting tools or other equipment, and are certainly commended for their volunteer effort to aid the village. Chuck and Andy were on leave from the U. S. Army during the recent project Chuck, a 2-year veteran is now headed for Korea. Andy, who has been with the Armed Forces 1 year, is now stationed at Ft. Riley, Kansas. Tim Phenix is the only C. A. T. team member currently in Nashville. He soon will be employed by Generall Aluminum in Charlotte; AU are MVHS grads; Chuck in 1977, and Andy and Tim in 1978. Our recent item on Burma Shave signs of the past, based on a Detroit News clipping sent us by Nashville native Kenneth A. Meade of Franklin, prompted librarian La Duska Sheldon to remind readers that Putnam Library has “The Verse by the Side of the Road”, by Frank Rowsome, Jr. The book, relating the story of the Burma Shave signs and jirigles, was donated earlier this year by the family of the late John Simon of Nashville. Mrs. Kathy Vessecchia of Nashville is a patient at But­ terworth Hospital in Grand Rapids. Please remember to cheer her with a card.

Nashville. Wednesday, September 26. 1979 — Poae 4 Four thrilling balloon ascensions helped lift Nash­ ville’s first annual Harvest Festival off the ground. Professor Mexiell of Grand Rapids was in town to do the arial honors. Nashville merchants had begun laying preliminary groundwork for a one-day celebration early in the summer of 1906. By mid­ August two balloon ascen­ sions, two ball games, sports of various kinds, acrobatics, band concerts and evening flreworks were slated, and the event had blossomed into a 2-day affair set for August 31 and Sept. 1. The festival came off in even grander style than anticipated, earning Nash­ ville the reputation of “doing all she promises and a little more,” boasted the News. The number of promised ascensions had doubled. “Nashville’s Harvest Festival of 1906 is over and done, but it will be long remembered as the most successful celebration ever promoted here,” noted the News in a recap of the event. “Everything went off precisely as advertised, except that the parade, planned for Friday morning, was postponed until af­ ternoon on account of threatening weather” But the weather did clear off nicely and there were several thousand people in town by noon Friday and perhaps twice that number attended the celebration on Saturday, according to News estimates. Sporting events attracted a good deal of attention and ended with several dose finishes. “Claude Smith and Russell Marble shared the honors in dash events,” reported the News. “Seth Graham won the hop-step-and-jump, the standing jump, the mile run, and the half-mile run.” A tug-of-war between two teams representing Castleton and Maple Grove townships was the “best ever”, according to the News; the, four balloon ascensions were “par- ticularly thrilling”, and the baseball games and dances both nights were “ex­ cellent”. In wrapping up the 1906 festival, the News advised readers that* “it has now been definitely decided to make such a Harvest Festival an annual event.” Preprations for the 1907 celebration were started the following June. “The committees are now at work getting special attractions, sports and other things in readiness,” disclosed the News. “Nothing will be left undone to make this celebration one of the largest ever held in this part of the country.” As the News went to press late Tuesday night, Nash­ ville’s 1907 Harvest Festival was set to commence Wednesday morning. Main Street was lined with booths and tents, street merchants were getting in shape to display their wares, merry-go-rounds, doll and cane racks were inplace, and moving pictures and wild Nashville has always loved a parade. An integral part of such early performances was Hi Walrath (second from right) and his band, partially shown in the 1909 Harvest Festival march.

Large crowds' flocked to Nashville for the event; in fact, the crowd on Thursday was “the largest ever seen in the village,” observed the News. The weather was ideal and could not have been better if it had been made to order. There was not a single ac­ cident to mar the fun, everything passed off as advertised, and spectators were highly pleased with the entertainment, according to the News report. “Everything that was advertised was given, and much more,” declared the News in recapping the 1907 affair. “The festival exemplified the truth of the reputation Nashville has of never doing anything by halves.” Succeeding years brought a repeat of the annual celebration, with a few new added attractions from time to time. “A watermelon eating contest and a smoking contest will be given at the south end of Main Street during the Harvest Festival,” advised the News in August 1908. That year, Nashville’s third annual “big time” was rated a complete success from beginning to end, with “fine weather and no accidents to mar the celebration.” 4 Four balloon ascensions at Nashville’s first Harvest Festival thrilled spectators and helped get the annual event "off the ground." Utility poles dominate this southward view of Main Street during an early celebration. Salted peanuts, cracker jack, ice cream and cigars are offered at a concession stand on m idway.

M. Fowler, the performance would highlight the day. “It will take place at Riverside Park, im­ mediately following the ball games, but admission for the drill will be free,” informed the News. “The gates will be thrown open immediately following the close of the game, so that all may see the drill free of charge.” The following year, the News could not report “no accidents to mar the festivities” as two un­ pleasant incidents did occur during Nashville’s 1910 celebration. The proprietor of the Uneeda Lunch Room, whom the News described as a “school boy just recently started in business”, was arrested the first day of the festival by Deputy Sheriff Manni of Hastings for selling a drink called “Tonica”, a near-beer. The accused was taken to Hastings bn the 3:55 p.m. train to appear before Justice Bishop to be bonded for examination.

A sad mishap marred the traditional parade. x “Billy, the proud old white hourse owned by Mrs. C. J. Schiedt, dropped dead while being rode in the street parade Thursday,” lamented the News. “Walter Schiedt was riding him when he became frightened by an automobile.” Such misfortune notwithstanding, Nashville continued to stage the annual Harvest Festival until 1931 when the financial doldrums of the Great Depression seriously 'sw sw ;SS: ; !S SB ME “Waiffliii Waifflianiiii 1 M Waiffli ?*•< the M *><|«S WESTERN PINES TACK SHOP !W$t ^pfaten > in*^iheW deafer Ht 192 N.

W — HOURS — IBBI, hampered financial backing for the affair. However, by August 1935 Nashville’s Harvest Festival-Homecoming was reborn “in real carnival spirit, with enthusiasm which comes from the. presence of many people,” the News rejoiced. That year’s affair, in addition to providing a chance for greeting old friends and relatives, also served as a dedication of Nashville’s newly-completed , $70,000 bridge and highway improvements on North Main, a National Recovery Act project designed to help relieve the pinched economy on a local level. A second national crises World War II - again interupted the Harvest Festival observance in 1941 and the celebrations were not resumed until 1951. By then the events were sponsored by Nashville’s Fire Dept, and other civic organizations and labeled as a Harvest Festival and Community Fair. The celebrations survived into the 1960’s until Nashville’s 1968 Centennial observance outshone all past Harvest Festivals. New life was again breathed into the traditional celebration in 1977 when the Riverside Recreational Development Corp, resurrected Nashville’s annual Harvest Festival, helping the community build bridges to many happy memories of the past.

September 26, 1979 — Page 6 BARRY COUNTY EXTENSION SERVICE Maple Valley’s in school suspension room New in dealing with discipline 39 In the past, suspension from school has meant that a student had to spend the designated day(s) ‘‘put of school” — meaning that the student was in the com­ munity during school hours* However, this year, Maple Valley Junior-Senior High School has implemented a Robert Losik staffs the In School Suspension room at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High Scho(oMl.a (Maple Valley News photo) BENEFIT DANCE At...VFWNO. 8260 "RICK RODRIGUEZ BAND” SEPT. 29.. 8:30P.M. *2.00.. .per person *3.00.. . per couple Sponsored by Provincial House Auxiliary the student to keep his classwork current. Instructor of the ISS room is Robert Losik, a licensed social worker arid a certified teacher in physical education and psychology. With a background as a child care worker, Losik brings, to his new job, experince in dealing with youngsters’ problems. He has served eight years’^ag, a juvenile corrections officer for Kalamazoo and St. Joseph Counties and six years a probation officer. Losik said one of his roles in his new position is to offer tutoring to studerits while they are in the ISS room. Encyclopedias and a dic­ tionary are available in the room. x “Schools are charged with the education of all youngsters and the ISS room gives the school another alternative or optiorfto meet this need,” he said. A goal of the program is to help break what Losik terms a student’s cycle of failure — grade-wise and academically. In addition to supervising students with their assignments, Losik says he 'talks to them them about about moJlvation and putting quality into their work. Another goal is to help students to realize how many abilities they may have. Another helpful tool is the use of a casette and slide presentation program about study habits and survival skills. On the average this year, about three students are iff suspended status per day, said Losik adding that one of the biggest offenses is smoking in the building. The majority of the students who have been suspended already this year have decided to stay in the ISS room. “Only a few have chosen out of school suspension,” said Losik.>. The rules of the ISS. room are strict and enforced. “The rules are constructed^ maxirfiize an atihosphere e0h(fuci,Y|! to studying. Assignments are given to the student through the ISS instructor. Teachers receive a ‘Request for Assignments’ forms for each ISS student and return them to the ISS instructor.” Assignments are checked by the ISS instructor for completeness. When assignments have been finished, the students may read something qf_,their choice. Losik commented that “the process has worked well, mainly due to the effort of the Junior-Senior High new “In School Suspension Room” which has grown out of a philosophical change in dealing with discipline problems. “Out of"School Suspen­ sion” created a cycle of events that lead to the student’s failure in school. The new program hopes to break down that cycle. In School Suspension (ISS) gives a student an op­ portunity to stay in school, but not with the general student body while in suspended status. Under the former procepdure, students received a “0” in classes missed during a suspension. The' new program eliminates that and allows the student a chance to keep up with his school work even even though a student is not in his regular classroom setting. Upon being suspended, the student and parent have the choice of the student fulfilling the day or days of suspension in the ISS room or at home. ISS is an alternative available to suspended students three times during a school year. The new program is admisistered through Mr. Larry Lenz, assistant princial who handles discipline referrals. If a student is suspended and a student selects the ISS program, a contract is signed stipulating that the student agrees to follow the niles of the the ISS room and with Lenz agreeing to allow £T------------- K OPE OPENING I BAKERYlsept 28th Country Goodness-Country Freshness Country Wholesome Country Corners FARM MARKET HOMEMADE JAMS and FRUIT PIES Jam Delicious Breads, Rolls , Doughnuts and more! 1 < FARM MARKET Corner of M-66 & State Road - Phone 8524945 Wtere Fresh FniiH Pmiace is always a rnnjt!QPE EH Ml» 10-6: Sunday 12-6 Bi September 25 - 4-H Dairy Developmental Committee meeting.'8 p.m..

The varsity squad stole their way to a 31-17 half-time lead through the efforts of Julie Barlow who had 5 steals and Diane Cook with 4. The girls played exciting ma’m to ma’m defense which z caused many Vestaburg ball-handling errors and enabled the Lions to build the 14 point half-time lead. The lightening quick fast break of Valley turned those errors into lay-ups giving the Lions a 40 percent field goal accuracy for the night. Julie Barlow’sJT of 11 field goal accuracy" paced the Valley squad. Melissa Coffman added an excellent 47 percent for the night, hitting on 7 of 15 attempts. Junior Lori Decker had a career high of 15 rebounds to lead all rebounders. Diane Cook was in double figures for the third game grabbing • CORN* Contracts...

Paced by Decker’s superb rebounding and the added bench strength of Deanna Marks, Kris Sample and Becky Cowell, the Valley girls never trailed in the contest. The only close call came late in the game when Lion fouls put the host Wolverines at the free-throw line. Also seeing action for the Lions were Kathy Christopher, Candace Mater, Melanie Rogers and Joyce Warner. The varsity girls face two opponents next week traveling to Pewamo Westphalia on Monday and hosting league .rival Saranac on Tuesday. Game time for both games is 6:30. \ The Nashville fourth and fifth grade Pee Wee team coached by Ken Meade and assisted by Bill Brenton and Don Steinbrecher was vic­ torious in their first football game of the 1979 season. Quarterback Scott Lenz handed off to George Steinbrecher who took it in for the first touchdown climaxing a 60 yard drive by Nashville. Scott Lenz ran around the end for the extra points. The only scoring in the second quarter was a touch­ down by Lake Odessa, but a good defensive Nashville team prevented them, making the extra points.

A weekly^ Ernest Nash State Representative SPENDING” CUTS T Governor Milliken has told department heads to plan spending cuts for the coming fiscal year since it is now clear that revenues will not cover authorized appropriations. The exact amount of cuts needed is not yet -known. NO VOTE - The State Supreme Court has ruled unanimously that voters do not have the right of referendum on increased fuel taxes and license plate fees. Thus last year's increases stand: the petition drive for a vote on them has no effect. AID LOSS? - School districts that are not in session on September 28 due to strikes face loss of their state school aid, since that is the date set by law for a count of pupils in attendance, on which count state aid is based. ROLLBACK RULING - The Attorney General has ruled that for purposes of the Headlee Amendment, the “maximum authorized rate” of taxation is that authorized by law or charter, not what is currently being levied. This comes in response to the enactment of HB 4232, which said the same thing. Thus the rollbacks required under Headlee will apply to such maximums. PROTEST DAY - Last Wednesday was a bright and sunny day at the Capitol, which was the scene of much activity: hundreds of motorcyclists parked their bikes around the Capitol and held a rally against present laws requiring helmets; also State Police troopers picketed the Capitol as part of their continuing dispute with the Governor on im­ plementing bargaining rights. , NO PRIMARY? - It is beginning to look like the final decision on Michigan’s presidential primary will be up. to the Governor. Last week a House committee killed a bill to require voters to announce Party preference; this leaves HB 4392; which would abolish the primary. It will probably be approved by the Senate next month: the Governor could then sign or veto it. COLOR TOUR - Early indications are that this will be a spectacular season for a fall color tour in Michigan’s north country! prime time for the tour is right about now. It’s good to remember that gasoline is readily available there, too, at prices no higher than elsewhere. . FIRST BILL - The first House bill introduced in the fall session -was HB 4842, which is a substantial proposal to revise and consolidate Michigan’s criminal code. It includes revised penalties, sets standards for evidence and requires rehabilitation programs. . NO LICENSE - The Attorney General has ruled that self­ propelled lawn mowers and snow blowers do not have to be registered as motor vehicles even though they may be driven on highways, since that involves just getting to a destination rather than transporting people or property.

Actually, the Lions won the battle of statistics, Unfortunately, touchdowns are what winsi ballgames. The first quarter ended 0-0i when the Lions held Pennfield to 0 first down while moving the ball in close! themselves. A costly penalty on one drive and an in­ tercepted pass on another kept the Maple Valley team from scoring. The second quarter was more of the same, except, that Pennfield returned an interception 34 yards for a 7­ 0 Pennfield lead at half-time. The third quarter was a Lion disaster. The opening kick-off was fumbled giving Pennfield possession on the 20 yard line. They promptly scored. After the ensuing kick-off, Maple Valley fumbled on the first play from scrimmage giving Pennfield the ball on the 21 yard line. They scored again. Following the kick-off the Lions were forced to punt, and the kick was returned for a touchdown giving Pennfield 3 touchdowns in 3 minutes and a 26-0 lead. Maple Valley continued to dominate the statistics but could not score until early in the fourth quarter when Jeff ■ Meade hit Stan McClintock with a 21 yard touchdown pass. Aaron Snider kicked the extra point. Maple Valley had a touch­ down called back when Chris Beebe and others tackled a Pennfield ball carrier hard enough to jar the ball loose. Jeff Meade took the fumble 85 yards to score, but an official had inadvertently blown toe play dead where PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS DIRECTORY LIMESTONE & MARL rittr® „ uu) (Delivered and Spread) CRANEWORK • Drainage Ditches • Farm Ponds DARRELL HAMILTON Rt. 3, NASHVILLE PH. 852-9691 ST.

The 2-day event revived a traditional observance first celebrated in the village more than 70 years ago. Recently the affair has been staged by the Riverside Recreational Development Corp., a group of local volunteers, as part of an ongoing fund raising effort to build community recreational facilities along the Thornapple River near Nashville’s business district. Reigning over the weekend festivities was Nashville’s 1979 Harvest Queen, Alice Rhoades. Her coronation during a Friday evening talent show at Sandyland Park capped a special year for Mrs. Rhoades, a mother of seven who has 11 grandchildren and 7 great­ grandchildren. In 1979 she observed her 79th birthday and she and her husband, retired local minister Rev. E. F. Rhoades, celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary. Chosen by the. community votes from a field of nine candidates, Mrs. Rhoades learned at Friday’s event that she had been selected as Harvest Queen. The name of the winner, announced by talent show emcee Kenneth F Meade, Sr. of Jackson, had been a wellguarded secret of an RRDC committee until then. Performances at Friday’s talent show included a variety of dancing, vocal, instrumental, comedy and acrobatic routines. A Friday night street dance featuring the music of the D. Hammond band drew a large crowd of young people to the downtown area, following an early evening “powder puff” football game between Maple Valley High School’s junior and senior girls. A traditional bonfire, pep rally and snake dance followed the game at the Fuller Street football field. Saturday’s events were kicked-off with a 10,000 meter (6.2 mile) Harvest Run. Among the 99 entrants were runners from Nashville, Vermontville, Battle Creek, Hastings, Delton, Woodland and Bellevue. Duane Spitz, 30, of Holt, took first place in his age category and top honors overall in the race, covering a circuitous route of rolling country roads in 31 minutes 54 seconds. Spitz, who runs 100 miles a week to keep in shape, will run the Detroit Marathon in a bid for the 1980 Olympics. Well-known in Michigan running circles, Spitz finished 12th out of 1,992 finishers in a recent 10mile Bobby Crim race at Flint. His time there was 51:30. Top female runner in Nashville’s Harvest Run was Arlene Allen, 32, of Caledonia. She finished 61st overall and with a time of 46:02. Her husband, David, finished 28th overall with a time of 40:19. ’Other Saturday morning events included judging of the harvest produce and floral exhibits in a traditional festival com­ petition. A perfectly shaped pumpkin grown by Richard Sackett of Vermontville took top honors when it tipped the scale at 153 pounds. Other categories in the contest were best squash, best produce exhibit, best carved pumpkin, sun­ flowers, unusual and miscellaneous produce. In the floral competition Lois Barton of Nashville was awarded first prize for her fresh flower arrangement of black-eyed . Susans and Queen Anne’s lace in a small earthernware crock. Judy Rogers of Vermontville won top honors in the dried floral arrangement contest. Activities near Nashville’s downtown area Saturday included a contest of the Mighty-Mini Tractor pullers of Olivet; a Scottish pipe and drum performance by the kiltie-clad Clan Mac Neil of Lansing; an ox roast, arts and crafts displays, flea market, bake sales, book sale and carnival. Over 100 harvest theme posters painted or sketched by local youngsters decorated store windows. A bike race open to all ages and a canoe race down the Thornapple River added to the festivities. Highlighting Saturday afternoon activities was a Colorful and creative arts and crafts filled Nashville's Central Park and added to the festive mood of the celebration. combined Harvest Festival Homecoming parade led by Grand Marshall Bill Face, a member of Nashville’s 1913 high school football team and the" oldest surviving player still residing in the village. Many colorful floats and unique entries thrilled parade watchers. A real crowd-pleaser was the Shrine Club Mini-T Patrol and Saladin Mini-500 Autos from Battle Creek. Harvest Queen contest nets over $2,600 By Susan Hinckley Again this year, the Nashville-Harvest Queen contest was the top money-maker of all festival events sponsored by the Riverside Recreational Development Corp, during the recent celebration. When the final tally of canister votes fof nine queen candidates was made at noon last Friday, a total of $2,624.27 had been received in three weeks of collection. PARK V RECREATIONAL DEVELOPMENT CORP • IN COOPERATION WITH MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RES0U^ES xx Z Xoox? Add to this amount $45, representing a $5 nominating fee paid by each sponsor for their candidate, and it brings the total 1979 Harvest Queen contest proceeds to nearly $2,700. Thanks to a terrific amount of community en­ thusiasm, the last week of the 1979 race netted more money than did the entire 1978 Harvest Queen contest in which 10 candidates participated. At the final count Friday, Alice Rhoades had received the greatest amount in canister votes; Julie Ann Reid was in second place; and Evie Van Egan was third. RRDC officials expressed appreciation Friday for the participation of the nine lovely candidates, their sponsors’ support, and Nash­ ville’s community spirit which made such a suc­ cessful 1979 Harvest Queen race possible. All proceeds of the event will help develop a com­ munity recreational park near the Thornapple River, west of Main Street business district. The parade stepped off at Putnam Park and ter­ minated at the Fuller Street football field where Maple Valley hosted Carson City for a Saturday afternoon homecoming game, ending with a 20-12 victory for the home team Lions. At half-time ceremonies, seniors Rusty Blakely and Susan Fox were crowned as Homecoming King and Queen; John Kent and Debbie Best as Prince and Princess. The newlycrowned royalty reigned over an evening homecoming dance at Maple Valley High School. Meanwhile adults were winding up the weekend festivities with a “Harvest of Hits” dance at the Nashville fire barn, as they danced to the nostalgic sounds of the 50’s and 60’s from Larry Schaub’s extensive collec­ tion ofrecords from that era.

Nashville, Wednesday October 3. 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Fifty years ago Philip Maurer, then a Nashville High School senior, won the 1929 Michigan contest for the Thomas A. Edison National High School Scholarship competition. Topping 87 Michigan high schools participatingin the event, Maurer went on to represent our Hate in the national contest. Thomas A. Edison, Henry harles Lindbergh, Harvey Firestone and George Were among the distinguished judges of the n^Q ^^com tion. Recently Mr. and Mrs. Philip Maurer,W^^of Dearborn, attended a reunion of the students who pamcipated in that 1929 contest. Twenty-one of the original forty nine con­ testants attended the recent New Jersey gathering, arranged with the help of the Charles Edison Fund and the National Park Service as part of the centennial celebration of the invention of the electric light Special tours with lectures about Edison were conducted through the West Orange Laboratories, which replaced Menlo Park Laboratory now located in Greenfield Village. Glenmont, Edison’s home and estate, were also visited. Both locations are designated as National Historic Sites, administered by the National Park Service. The Maurers attended a reunion banquet at which the guests of honor were Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Edison. He is the youngest son and only living child of Thomas A. Edison. Tenative plans were made in New Jersey to hold a second reunion in 1981 at Dearborn. On the agenda will be a tour of Greenfield Village to see the large collection of Edison memorabilia there. Nelson and Geneva Brumm entertained several couples from Grand Rapids and Grand Haven Thursday, following a luncheon gathering at the Steakhouse. The friends meet once a month for dinner out, then return to the home of the host, for dessert and visiting. The Brumms became acquainted with the folks several years ago through Geneva’s brother, the late Dale Devine of Nashville. The tempting aroma of freshly roasted peanuts drew a steady flow of browsers and buyers through the open door of Dimmers’ new Thornapple General Store on Main Street when it opened last Wednesday.

Calicos, linen and straw articles, trinkets, jewelry, replicas of old fashioned toys and books, and a profusion ofpenny candy fill the store, located in the original Barker’s Bakery building. Recent restoration by David and Caroline Dimmers has kept the pre-1900 architecture intact and authentic old store fixtures from the Dimmers’ ex­ tensive collection have brought a beautiful touch of nostalgia back to the heart of Nashville. Little Brandi Thornton, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Tom (Janet) Thornton of Assyria, was honored on her 4th bir­ thday with a Sunday, Sept. 23, party at her home. Present in addition to her parents and sister, Jennifer, were her maternal grandmother, Mrs. Gloria Johncock of Nashville; her paternal grandparents, Shirley and Jim Thornton of Cloverdale; her uncle Doug Johncock of Nashville and friend Debby Laurie; and her aunt and family, Suzy and Larry Corkwell & daughters, Lisa and Rebecca of Nashville. Wednesday evening Brandi’s mother was similarly honored. Mrs. Tom (Janet Johncock) Thornton was the guest ofhonor at a birthday party given by her mother, Mrs. Gloria Johncock of Nashville. Present in addition to the Thornton family were Doug Johncock, Mr. and Mrs. Larry Corkwell and daughters, and Pam Corkwell of Ionia. Mrs. Kathy Vessecchia of Nashville returned home from Butterworth Hospital last Wednesday and is recovering well. Sunday dinner guests of Mrs. Edna Gibbons of Nashville were her niece and her husband, Viola and Ray Tack of Battle Creek. Former Nashville residents Gene and Bonnie (Dahm) Wyant returned to the village by auto last Tuesday morning from Riverton, Wyoming, where they are currently building a retirement home. The Wyants plan to spend the winter in Florida with his mother, then return to Wyoming in the spring to complete their new residence. Mrs. Esther buckley of Nashville was a weekend guest recently at the home of her sister and brother-in-law, Maxine and Joe Jankovich of Charlotte.

A community welcome to Dave and Kathy Mace, and young son Matthew, who recently took up residence in the former Leonard house on State Street. The Maces moved here from Caledonia. Dave became the new proprietor of Simon Pharmacy in Nashville last April, and has been driving here from his home in Caledonia until the recent move. Thomas and Margaret Leonard left Nashville to take up residence in Hastings, and will be missed in the village. Thomas, a free lance writer, was the first male ever ap­ pointed to the Putnam Public Library Board, a post he filled with a great deal of dedication and efficiency. Several Nashville area 4-H families were represented at last Monday’s Livestock Banquet at the Community Building on the Barry County Fairgrounds. The annual event gives 4-H youths who sold animals at the Barry County Fair an opportunity to express appreciation to their buyers. A fabulous feast including roast beef, pork, rabbit and lamb was prepared by the 4-H families. A fantastically talented group of Western Michigan University students,‘performing under the name of “Gold Company”, captivated the audience of 260 with a spirited medley of country hits, led off by John Denver’s “Country Roads.” Hilarity followed, as the company presented a comic routine of popular singing commercials. A solo parody, “Saturday Night in Toledo, Ohio”, brought roars of laughter from the crowd. Formerly known as the “Varsity Vagabonds”, the company is com­ prised of twelve singers and dancers, backed by a band of four musicians. Ron Dingerson, Barry County agricultural agent with the Cooperative Extension Service, acted as emcee at the banquet. Parents, guests and buyers were intorduced by 44 youngsters representing 4-H clubs from throughout Barry County. Those from the Nashville area hosting guests were the families ofJohn Mater, Gene Mater, Don Steinbrecher, Duane Hoffman, David Hagon, Russel Keech, and Earl Wilson. Ramrodding the operation of roasting the meat for Monday’s feast were Albert Bell of Nashville and his brother, Lee Bell, aided by several “trainees” who will assume the responsibility next year. Recent Sunday visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Bill Face of Nashville were Mrs. lai (Ehret) Stewart of Lansing; Mrs. Margaret Burrows of Grand Ledge; and Mr. and Mrs’ Ed Butters, daughter and grandson of Charlotte. Nashville’s police officers participated in semi-annual qualification shooting with Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, officers at the Barry County Conservation Club on Sept. 20, and came away with very high ratings. Sgt. Eugene Koetje, Acting Chief, shot 285 out of a possible 300 to earn the rank of “expert”. Patrolman Walter Pincumbe scored 291 291, earning the first leg of a “distinquished expert” classification. To earn his badge in that category, Pincumbe must shoot equally well four more times in similar com­ petition overr a period of time. All Barry County law enforcement officers are required to qualify on on the firing range every six months as aa requisite for maintaining their employment The officers fire 60 rounds in a variety of stances and positions, including kneeling, with occasional use of barricades or other simulated situations. Shooting distances are also varied in the competition. Officers are required to alternate between using their left and right hand to fire the sidearm they would normally carry while on duty. Recent houseguests of Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nash­ ville were her two sisters, Mrs, Gloria Fish of Indian River and Mrs. Barbara McDonald of Troy. The ladies spent Tuesday through Friday with Mrs. Ramsey. Tuesday evening they enjoyed dinner out at the Spa Steak House in Battle Creek. Thursday, they visited Cornwell Turkey Farm near Marshall. A caller last Wednesday on Mrs. Ramsey was her daughter, Mrs. Claudette Myers of Charlotte, who spent the day here visiting. Remember Nashville’s United fund drive starts today. The local goal for 19804s $1,800. Please be generous with the solicitor calls. Regarding last week’s “Memories” on Nashville’s early Harvest Festival celebrations: Mrs. Helen Hecker phoned to say the tent visible near the furniture store (now'Masonic Temple) was the merry-go-round. “It always sat in that spot,” she reports, and she even recalled the price of a whirl on the magic machine. “Tickets for a ride on the merry-goround were five cents each, or six for a quarter,” Helen noted. Mrs. Hecker said the merry-go-round was about the only amusement ride provided by the early Harvest Festivals. Another note of interest on the subject: George B. Dean recalls that his father, George O. Dean, accompanied the Knights of Pythias Uniformed Drill Team on a journey to the west coast about 1906. (The drill team under the direction of Capt. S. M. Fowler had performed at Nashville’s 1908 Harvest Festival.) “Father was not a member of the team but was a friend of Sherman Fowler and his father, Charles,” remembers George. The late Mr. Dean and the Fowlers were Maple Grove neighbors in those years. The drill team rented a sleeper and baggage car on the Grand Trunk Railroad for the trip to California, recalls George. His father returned home alone via a scenic northern-route through Canada. Lorin and Dorothy Garlinger attended a Michigan Retired Officer’s Association meeting at Galesburg last Tuesday evening, for a dinner at Inman’s there. Lorin is a retired Lt. Commander with the U. S.

Recent visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lorin Garlinger were Mr. and Mrs. Orville Gaunt and daughter, Karen, of Allendale, New Jersey. She is the former Madeline Garlinger of Nashville, a graduate of the Class of 1926. Mrs. Bertha Becker of Nashville was a weekend visitor of her granddaughter and family, Brenda and Don Starkweather and children at Grand Ledge. Upon returning home she had a surprise visitor Monday - a neice whom she had not seen in many years. The callers were Mae and William Benjamin of Ypsilanti. Only Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville knew the destination of last Tuesday evenings’s mystery trip that took 39 senior citizens from the Nashville Nutrition Site to Battle Creek for dinner at the Ponderosa Steakhouse on E. Columbia. The journey was made on a Nashville Baptist Church bus, driven by Earl DeGroot of Bristol Lake. The weather was perfectly beautiful and all report having a very good time. Serving on the committee with Mrs. Frederick were Mrs. Mildred Burd and Mrs. Elizabeth Wyant of Nash­ ville.

Misfortune has not altered evangelist Charles Hughes’ plans to speak at the Nashville Baptist Church at 7 p.m. Saturday, October 13, and at Sunday School and morning church service, October 14. One year ago, Hughes and his evangelistic team from Lynchburg, Virginia were involved in a very serious auto accident that totally destroyed their van, critically injured them all, and left Hughes in a coma for three months. Doctors gave little hope for survival, but after seven major operations Hughes has recovered suf­ ficiently to continue ministering. Last weekend the Hughes team was again involved in a crash that totaled their van. This time , however, there were, fortunately, no serious injuries reported. The group is expected in Nashville on schedule. Music for the Hughes services will be furnished by Bruce McCoy of Lynchburg, Va. Pastor Terry Puett of Lake Center Bible Church near Portage conducted Sunday morning services at the Nash­ ville Baptist Church, while Pastor Lester DeGroot of Nash­ ville filled in there. The pastor exchange kicked off the re­ enactment of the “Hatfield and McCoy” feud between the two churches in an October Sunday School promotion. At the end of the month, the losing church staff will host the win­ ning team for dinner. In addition, the losers will spend several hours Saturday at the winning church, washing cars for all members of the congregation who wish to take ad­ vantage of the free service. The Cathedral Quartet of Stow, Ohio will appear at the Nashville Baptist Church to highlight the Hatfield-McCoy promotion. Concerts by the group, voted the top gospel singers in America last year, are set for 3 and 7 p.m. Sun­ day,' October 28. Judging from past performances by the quartet here, a full house is anticipated and those planning to attend are encouraged to arrive at the church early. Sunday, October 7, has been set for a “Pony Express” breakfast at the Nashville United Methodist Church; The 7:30 a.m. event will kick-off the annual fall stewardship campaign, a program conducted by the congregation to underwrite the church budget for the year. The annual meeting of the Nashville United Methodist Church will be held Tuesday, October 9, at the church. The time is set for 7:30 p.m. Included in the agenda is the elec­ tion of church officers for the 1980 year and the adoption of a Results can be yours too! 1 wa.nt to give you the greatest net profits per acre possible.

The Nashville Garden Club meets today, October 2, at the Curtis Craft Center for a 2 p.m. program on “A Taste of Art.” Tea committee for the event is Gunda Pennock and Helen Kesler. Clarence and Margaret Reid have been busy lately, traveling to visit their children and also entertaining at home. Last weekend they were in Cadillac to visit Mr. and Girl Scouts begin new year, join now — Troops are now being organized and meetings will begin in October. The 1st graders will have as their leader, Yulanda McClure and Cheryl McClure. These two have a long im­ pressive background in scouting and we are happy to get a 1st grade troop together again. Their first meeting will be Oct. 3rd, Wed., and each following Wed. to be held at school. 2nd graders will be meeting on Wed. but a starting date has not been set yet. These girls will be notified as soon as details are worked out. Two new leaders are taking this troop, Lana Oster & Nancy Car­ penter. 3rd graders will also meet Wed. Oct. 3rd at school and have as their leaders, LuAnn Yeadon & Maxine Ryan. All Brownie meetings then will be on Wed. nights after school till 5:00. The Junior troop made up of 4th, 5th & 6th graders will be lead by Emma Trwobridge & Mary Schriver. Their meetings will be on Thur, nights and will begin Oct. 4th.

We again remind all girl Scout families to support our glass re-cycling project by saving those bottles, they are “cash in the pocket” for troops to carry on their activities. If any uniforms are hanging in the closets, going unused because the girls have moved up to other troops we would like to get them back into circulation again.

Any girl wishing to join scouts but missed getting the forms at school may call Joyce Rathburn, 726-0524. Mrs. Darwin Reid and family, and then went on to Kalkaska to see Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Reid, who recently moved there from Nashville. Accompanying Clarence and Margaret north were their grandchildren, Mindy and Amy Reid, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Arden Reid of Nashville. Before leaving for the northern trip, the Reids were in Charlotte at the home of son Vernon and family, to help celebrate grandson Gregg’s birthday. Thursday evening Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Reid en­ tertained for dinner Pastor and Mrs. Roger Claypool and children of Nashville; Mrs. Jean Reid of Nashville; Ernie Withey of Vermontville; and Mr. and Mrs. Harry Rollins and daughter of Nashville. No one is talking about plans for the old-fashioned “necessary” temporarily situated north of the Baptist Church last week, but Assistant Pastor Don Roscoe says it has to do with a lot of “craziness” that will be part of the Nashville church’s October feud, based on the legendary Hatfield-McCoy confrontation, with the Lake Center Bible Church at Portage as each church tries to top the other in Sunday school attendance. Anyway, the Phillips Street “addition” added to the nostalgic feeling in the community during last weekend’s Harvest Festival. Last week saw another addition to the village just in time to spark the Harvest Festival spirit. Installed near the new parking lot west of Main Street stores was a project sign designating the community park recreational area to be developed with grant funds by the Riverside Recreational Development Corp., sponsors of last weekend’s celebration.

October 3. 1979 — Page 4 Memories of the past By Susan Hinckley Holler’s first mill pre­ dated publication of the first Nashville News, but as early as 1874 lively editor Orno Strong was keeping tab on Holler’s thriving business: “Philip Holler has added to the many improvements in his flourishing mill a new power corn shelter that works like a charm and will shell two bushels of corn in a minute,” wrote Strong. Holler, who conducted religious services and of­ ficiated at several village weddings, was noted as a kind man. When a thieving scoundrel stole all Holler’s watermelons just one night before he had promised to treat all the children of the community, Holler still made good his promise. “To show you what sort of a button our Elder Holler is, he promptly went out and Fall in early Nashville meant harvest time, and village life centered around a grist mill on North Main Street as leaves turned to russet. Pressing apples for cider and simmering vats of rich apple .butter and jelly, and the milling of countless barrels of flour, kept the old waterwheel humming amid sweet aroma during autumn’s golden days. A preacher known as Elder Philip Holler (sometimes called Peter) was Nashville’s pioneer miller. In 1868 he and his wife, Matilda, acquired a crude grist mill on the west side of the Thomapple River (present-day Bridge Street area), an operation that had been converted in the late 1859’s from a sawmill owned by Charles Hanchett.

More than 100 children worked on said melons after school and succeeded in eating the red off almost the entire load. The Hollers’ only child, a Nashville's old grist mill, shown here in 1910, was not quite* as ancient as daughter named Millie, believed when it was razed in 1977.

For 30 years the Lass family retained ownership of the operation, with Otto taking over when his father died in 1924. Otto was noted as a clever whittler, a talent he put to good use. “He was really handy with a jackknife,” recalls Phyllis Rizor who with her late husband, Ira James Rizor, bought the mill from Lass in 1946. When the Rizors acquired the mill, all the gears, drive shafts, and pulleys were of the original wood construction. “When teeth would break off, Otto would carve out replacements and a gear wheel to go on the drive shaft,” remembers Mrs. Rizor. “If a wooden pully would break, he would just carve outa new one.” Otto had several wooden cuckoo clocks from Ger­ many that he easily repaired whenever the wooden works malfunctioned. He simply whittled a new part. Otto was semi-retired when the Rizors Barry County Extension Service CALENDAR of EVENTS October 1 - Barry County MAEH Council, 1:30 p.m., Ex­ tension Office, Hastings.

The Lions scored on their first possession of the game with 6:54 remaining in the first period. Maple Valley's'Stan McClintock goes up attempting to block a punt from the Carson City end zone. McClintock played a good game both ways according to coach Watson, he caught four Jeff Meade passes for 57 yards and a touchdown. Homecoming queen Susan Fox is escorted by her father during the coronation. Quarterback Jeff Meade tossed a nine yard scoring pass to Stan McClintock for the score capping a 66 yard drive in 9 plays. ‘.‘Meade was passing beautifully and mixing up his receivers,” observed varsity coach Dan Watson. Meade completed 16 of 21 passes for 210 yards and two touch­ downs. He also tossed a twopoint conversion pass to McClintock in the third. McClintock led M-V receivers with four recep­ tions for 57 yards, a TD and a two point conversion. Todd Gearhart caught five passes for 44 yards and a TD. Tony Joostberns snagged 3 for 47 yards and Don Fox caught 2 passes for 49 yards. “We were hot through the air,” Watson laughed. Maple Valley opened the second half with a scoring drive of 60 yards in 14 plays. Beebe ran it over from seven yards out. Maple Valley runners gained 123 yards on the ground on 36 attempts. Jeff Meade gained 74 in 14 carries. Chris Beebe gained 30 yards on nine attempts and scored the Lions’ second TD. Sophmore back Tom Brooke, just up from the JV squad, gained 25 yards in 10 attempts. The Maple Valley defense bent, but didn’t break as it gave up 174 yards on the ground and 42 through the air. Despite the yardage, Carson City seldom threatened and scored their last TD on the last playof the game. “They scored on our young players — we wanted to leave them in and get them some game ex, perience,” Watson said. Watson said Ms team was fired-up for Saturday’s game with Carson City. “We’ve met them at Homecoming for a couple of seasons now and it’s getting to be quite a rivalry,” he said. “Carson City came in expecting to win — they were two and one, we had three losses,” Watson continued, then said, “It was nice to shut them off. Local football fans provided plenty of vocal support for the Lions. “It was the parade through town that got us going — that was enough to fire anyone up,” Watson said.

It’s hard to win a basketball game when you only make 16 of 66 fieldgoals, hit 6 of 21 from the free throw line and can grab only 6 offensive rebounds and the Valley girls proved that last Monday night as they fell to Pewamo-Westphalia. 75-30 in the Pewamo gym. An aggressive Pewamo press forced 27 Valley turnovers which helped put the Lions away early in the game. The Lions got a good performance from juniors Dianna Marks, who was the leading Lion scorer with 8 points, and Lori Decker who had 8 rebounds. But that defeat didn’t damage the scrappy Valley confidence as they turned around on Tuesday night to take a big win over league rival Saranac 33-28. Though the score was low, there was no lack of action! The final Lion advantage came at the free throw line with the home team hitting an 11 of 21 from the charity stripe and the visiting Redskins making 6 of 22. Both teams made 11 field goals. Julie Barlow, Melissa Coffman, Diane Cook, Lori Decker and Joyce Warner started the game and took a 16-9 half-time lead. Though Valley never relinquished that lead, the Redskins never gave up and threatened several times. In the final quarter. Barlow, Coffman, Cdok, Decker and Kathy Christopher teamed up to put the Lions ahead by as many as 10 points before finally settling on the final 33-28 victory. Also seeing action for Valley were Kris Sample and Candace Mater. Julie Barlow led all scorers with 15. Kathy Christopher grabbed 14 rebounds, Diane Cook and Kris Sample each collected 11 and Lori Decker 10.

Bit; ggt j»f tafeHl ■snci r 1MI ““I®1 Mrtli school COUNT - The Legislature has acted,to approve HB 4944, which would allow school districts tcTmake thenofficial student count on which state aid is based on the first Friday after classes begin, rather than the 4th Friday after Labor Day. BUDGET CUT - State department directors have now completed their recommendations of specific cuts to comply with Governor Milliken’s order to cut $100 million overall due to expected revenue declines. Only education programs are exempt. LICENSE LAW - A new, stricter law for first-time drivers is now in effect. It provides a 3-year probationary period during which new drivers with “bad” records may be counseled and re-examined; the last 10 months must be free of violations. INSURANCE AGREEMENT - Segments of the insurance industry have agreed on legislation to set objective stan­ dards for availability and price of car and home insurance. The Supreme Court last year ordered such a change in our no-fault auto insurance law. This differs from prior proposals in allowing a greater variation in rates based on geographic areas of the state. COMP PACKAGE - A major proposal to improve the Michigan unemployment compensation system has been introduced under Republican sponsorship. HB 4974-75 would increase benefits to unemployed workers and eliminate benefits for those who voluntarily quit their jobs. Unem­ ployment benefits have not been increased since 1975, while inflation has gone up about 35 percent. TAX CLASSES - Some local units do not assess some property at the required 50 percent of true cash value, so that equalization creates higher rates for some property than others. HB 4013, now approved by the Senate, requires that property tax equalization be by class: agricultural, residential, developmental, commercial, industrial, and timber cutover. CHECK TAX - Still before the House Taxation com­ mittee is HB 4712, Which would put a 10-cent tax on every check and money order cashed in Michigan. To register your opinion on it, write the bill’s Democratic sponsor: Rep. George Montgomery, State Capitol, Lansing, MI 48909.1 am strongly opposed to this bill. POINT ORDER - The Hpuse will soon vote on SB 471, which would for the first time give points to drivers con­ victed of over-55-mph speeding violations. Now, points are not given for freeway speeds between 55 and 70; this would add 2 or more points to a driver’s record for that. VOTE AMENDMENT - A state constitutional amendment has been proposed in HJR “R” which would allow the public to vote on increases in the gasoline tax and license plate fees. This is in response to the Supreme Court ruling PROFESSIONAL recent that those items are not BUSINESS subjqpt to referendum.

As we will have to stand the expense of putting things back in order. Don’t forget your Village Council meet on the first Thursday of the month. A bit ago I mentioned in my column about a case of alleged animal cruelty against a Paul Grant of our village. As I was the in­ vestigator on behalf of the Eaton Co. Humane Society and the County of Eaton, I had vested interest in the case. Mr. Grant was found guilty on all charges and was denied right to have his animals, fined and paid costs in the amount of $150 dollars. These cases cost a great deal of money on the County’s part. I’m happy to know that we have humane thinking and acting persons in our Justice Dept. I’m letting you know the disposition of this case as a deterrent for any further action in our com­ munity. It is much less costly to go the Humane way in the first place. So check out your animals for food, water, shelter, tight collors, flea nits, every chance you get. Remember your animal can not speak for itself, and you are the responsible part. Thought - How empty is the life that filled only with things! When the outlook is bad, try the uplook.

Nashville, Wednesday October 3. 1979 — Page 12 Eaton County residents attend 4-H crafts workshop Two Eaton County adults will participate in the 4-H Crafts Leaders Workshop. Paula Johnson of Ver­ montville and Jan Tirrell, 4­ H Program Assistant, will join participants from around the state for the twoday workshop at Kettunen Center, the Michigan 4-H leadership training facility near Tustin. "The arts and - crafts project has the highest enrollment of all the state’s 4-H programs,” says Nancy Diuble, Extension 4-H Youth Agent. "Offering the workshop every year en­ sures that volunteer leaders can keep up with the youngsters enthusiasm. Both the kids and the leaders get a great deal of satisfaction out of making things them­ selves. After they learn a new craft, they can teach it to other 4-H’ers in local clubs.” To accommodate the anticipated high enrollment, two additional^ workshops, which features different craft areas, will be offered November 30 - December 1, 1979 and on February 22-23, 1980. The workshops are made possible by donations from various individuals, organizations, and businesses through the Michigan 4-H Foundation. For more information about the workshops or the 4­ H arts and crafts projects, contact the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service office at 543-2310. Unusual sight sprouts up at Nashville Baptist Church — No one is talking about plans for the old-fashioned "necessary" (also known as an outhouse) temporarily situated north of the Baptist Church last week, but Assistant Pastor Don Roscoe says it has to do with a lot of "craziness" that will be part of the Nashville's church's October feud, based on the legendary Hatfield-McCoy confrontation, with the Lake Center Bible Church at Portage as each church tries to top the other in Sunday School attendance. At any rate, the Phillips Street "addition" added to the nostalgic feeling in the community during last weekend’s Harvest Festival.

Cook, County Extension Director All good farmers do most of their soil testing in the Fall. There is a good reason for this, actually there are several reasons. First of all most plans are being made right now for cropping programs for next year and in order to plan for a crop, the fertilizer needs have to be known, so soil testing is the first step in planning for a crop. With the cost of all inputs increasing continually a farmer needs to be able to purchase these inputs when they are the best buy and this is usually sometime during the winter. Again soil testing in the Fall will tell him what SAVE fertilizer he is going to need. Another major reason, one needs to soil test at least every three years is that with the increased use of nitrogen fertilizer and two excellent corn crops in a row, the fertility balance of our soils may change radically. Soil tests can be used to fortell future in­ balances resulting in low yields of crops. One of the reasons farmers do not test the soils in their fields regularly is the time and effort needed to get the samples. There is help in this area. Some of the elevator and fertilizer dealers do have soil sampling assistance. Check with your dealers.

Village details policy on acquiring easements Horii°ns tobe«” - Through 4-H our young people are exposed to new and exciting fields of interest. Projects arise in areas as diverse as aerospace and agribusiness, photography and engine repair, environmental protection and food and nutrition. By exploring the problems of our community and our nation, by calling into play hidden or undeveloped skills, our youths discover themselves and their special talents. They become familiar with the opportunities available to them and the challenges they face in the future. In compliance with the U.S. Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970. The Village of Nashville is in­ forming the general public and all parties of interest of the acquisition-policies to be used in conjunction with making appraisals and obtaining temporary con­ struction and permanent easements for the con­ struction of sewer lines under the Wastewater treatment facility plan. The plan involves pan nvoves upang updating thee wastewater treatment plant, adding thereto, and the renovation and construction of new sewer lines. All parties of interest from whom easements must be obtained will be notified by letter to that effect. Each party is given the op­ portunity of accompanying an appraiser while he is conducting his work to determine a fair market value of the easement. Every reasonable effort will bee mae w made too acqure acquire thee real property necessary to the project expeditiously and through negotiations, village officials said. Upon the completion of the apraisers work, his report is filed with the Village of Nashville. The report will be reviewed along with any notes of the owners com­ ments. and in the light of all available evidence an established amount of fair market value in the case of each property taking will be made. A “Statement of Just Compensation” will then be made identifying all real property and interest being acquired. Compensation is based upon the fair market value ofthe property, and is not less than the approved appraised value of the property It reflects any offsetting benefits to the remaining portion of the property. The property owner will then be contacted by a negotiation team of the Village which- will be provided with a copy of the “Statement of Just Com- pensation” and will be in­ formed of the basis upon which the fair market value of the taking was established. The owner then will be offered this amount. No owner will be required to surrender possession of any real property until he was either paid an agreed upon purchase price or the just compensation amount was deposited with the county circuit court, for the benefit of the property owner. Village officials said. All expenses in connection with the transfer oftitle from the owner to the Village will include recording fees and similar expenses. There will be a meeting open to all persons from whom casements must be obtained at Castleton Township Hall on Saturday, October 20, 1979 from 10:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon and 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. Owners of properties Which will have sewer line or sewer construction easements crossing their property are invited to at­ tend.

Monday thru Friday, 8:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m. �The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Wednesday, October 10. 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Kenneth F. Meade, Sr., a Nashville native now of Jackson, was in town during the Harvest Festival to emcee Friday night’s talent show and the crowning of the 1979 Harvest Queen. During a conversation with him,'he furnished us with the text used by Donald D. O’Dowd, President of Oakland University, in conferring a recent honorary degree on Mead’s father, Kenneth A. Meade of Franklin (a hometown boy and 1921 Nashville High graduate who, in 1925, received a degere from Michigan State Normal College (now EMU) at Ypsilanti and later did graduate work at University of Michigan, receiving an M.S. in 1929.) We thought readers who remember Mr. Meade would enjoy the following excerpt. “Professor Kenneth A. Meade, your first career began in 1925 with the teaching of physics at Central High School in Kalamazoo. After service on the faculties of General Motors Institue and Lawrence Institute of Technology, you returned to General Motors where you served for many years as manager of educational relations. In 1967, you came to Oakland University to develop a series of special programs for the Division of Continuing Education. Our School of Engineering then claimed you. In engineering, you built an elegant teaching laboratory in statics and dymanics as an aid in the teaching of engineering mechanics. You quickly became a friend and trusted counselor of our engineering students. In addition, you continued to serve the larger community in such roles as member of the Board of Governors of the Cranbrook Institute of Science and Vice­ President and Secretary of the Thomas Alva Edison Foundation. Your two careers have been marked by your informed and sensitive work as teacher-counselor. On behalf of your colleagues in engineering and most especially those Oakland students who will never forget Ken Meade, it is my pleasure to confer on you the degree ofDoctor Science, Honoris Causa.” A recent appeal in this column for up-to-date technological books for Putnam Library prompted Dan Sellers of Nash­ ville to donate two automotive repair books, reports Librarian La Duska Sheldon. The gift is very much ap­ preciated. Other books are still being sought in the elec­ tronics field. Assistant librarian Jane Shoup is much improved in health and was able to return to her work at Putnam Library last week. She will be handling Tuesday morning duties at the library, a post she had to temporarily leave in early summer due to ill health. Nice to have her back. Carpeting was recently installed in two upper rooms at Putnam Library. Both are currently undergoing extensive renovation; one as a memorial to John and Catherine Beedle and the second, smaller room, as a display area to house the library’s rare book collection. Woodwork in both rooms is currently being rejuvenated by Julie Ann Sheldon. Friends of the Library members papered the smaller room. Dale Ann Morawski painted the ceiling and its ornate carved plaster moulding in the Beedle room. Next Tuesday several Friends of the Library have volunteered to carry books and materials back into the restored rooms. The recent Friends of the Library book sale, staged at the library during Nashville’s 1979 Harvest Festival celebration, was rated a huge success. Proceeds will help the FOL purchase a movie projector for in-library use. Sixty-six property owners whose consent is needed for temporary or permanent construction easements for Nash­ ville’s new sewer projects are to be invited by letter to at­ tend one of two scheduled October 20th meetings at Castleton Township Hall. Village officials, who met last __ Thursday with Jack Beuche of William and Works, engineers,will be present to explain the procedure of easement acquisition with property owners. Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of rural Nashville was in Hastings Saturday to attend the wedding of Sue Czinder, of that city, to Michael Jacobs of Dowling. The;ceremony took place at St. Rose Catholic Church. Mrs. Ramsey also attended a 5 p.m. wedding reception at the Hastings Country Club. More “Memories'’ on Capt. Sherman Fowler, who headed the Knights of Pythias Uniformed Drill Team at Nashville’s 1908 Harvest Festival: He was an uncle to Mrs. Clarency (Bunny Mead) Shaw of Nashville. She has a fine photo portrait of Capt. Fowler and his father, Charles, standing together. She also has a picture of Sherman’s mother. The K. of P; drill team, commanded by Fowler, became quite renowned and about 1906 made a train trip to the west coast for a California performance. Perhaps we will be able to use the photo of Capt. Fowler in some future “Memories” story.» The Woman’s Literary Club will meet next Wednesday, October 17th, for a 1:00 p.m. potluck dinner at Charlton Park. Meat, rolls and beverage will be furnished; members are asked to bring a dish to pass. Co-hostesses for the event are Barb Sandbrook and Alice McMillen, following the dinner, the club will tour the facilities at Charlton Park Museum and Historical Village. The October 10th meeting of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce will be held at the Steakhouse Restaurant. Mary Hecker is in charge of reservations for the 7 p.m. event. President Charles Andrus, Jr., is expected to report on a recent Advisory Committee meeting with officials of the new Kent-Barry-Eaton Connecting Railroad. Women of the Nashville United Methodist Church will be “taking over” Sunday, October 14. They will conduct the entire Sunday morning worship service. A 12:15 p.m. dinner for the congregation will follow in the Community House. An offering, to be taken after the meal, is earmarked to aid United Methodist ethnic-minority churches throughout the world. Recent callers on Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis of Nashville were her two brothers and their wives: Mr. and Mrs. Frank Klont and Mrs. and Mrs. Marienuis Klont, all of Potterville. Ten young Nashville cyclists recently pedaled an amazing number of miles on their bikes to raise funds for St. Judes Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis. When the final tally of the September 15th Bike-A-Thon was tabulated, the local kids had earned an incrediable amount of $881.16 for the hospital. Sponsors, lined up in advance by the children, pledged a set amount for each mile pedaled by the youngster. Those participating in the event, and the miles each completed are: Steve Smith, 27 miles; Lori Smith, 25; Steve Martin, 23; Amy Martin, 7; Jennifer Thorton, 16; Becky Coikwell, 2; Brandi Thornton, 2; Lisa Corkwell, 16; Shannon Smith, 20; and Greg Godbey, 21. It is interesting to note that two of the youngsters entered in the Bike-A-Thon were only 3 years old and yet each completed two miles on the track at the Fuller Street school.

To house the new operation, the stockholders purchased the former W. E. Shields woodworking shop on Church Street. (In very early years, the building had been the Powles woolen mill and it still stands today, directly behind the Azor Leedy home). Cream for the making of butter was brought to the newly-organized plant by haulers working six days a week to cover three routes each, making twice-weekly stops at participating farms. Trucks were used to make the runs in the summer months; teams and wagons in the winter. “One of my routes was 43 miles long,” recalls Otto Dahm who worked two years as a hauler in the early 1920’s. “We couldn’t draw that distance in one day with a team, so it took two days to cover it in the winter.” On the second stop of the week, haulers would deliver to the farmers any butter they had ordered and return clean Percy Penfold, shown in 1918 with his wife-to-be cans.

Lloyd State Fairs. (Photo loaned, courtesy Bea Penfold) Wilcox of Nashivlle hauled cream to the Farmers’ Cooperative Creamery for 25 years, from 1924 to 1949. He took over the route from his father-in-law, George Rit­ chie. “It was a cold, wet job in bad weather,” he recalls, Driving a team and wagon, the haulers were afforded no protection from the elements. The horses generally plowed their own way into remote farms isolated by severe winter weather. “I made 25 cents a mile for drawing cream,” recalls Dahm. Wilcox did not recollect what his per-mile pay rate was in the 1920’s, but said by the 1930’s haulers were being paid by the butterfat content fo the cream they delivered. This was done to counter com­ petition from milk haulers who were beginning to make regular farm runs for collection of whole milk. Some farmers preferred to sell to them, rather than go through the bother of cream separation. Butterfat content of the cream also determined how much each farmer would receive for his cream sold to the cooperative. A sample Curtis W.

Nashville. Wednesday. October 10. 1979 Memories of the past - continued January 1924, the cooperative disclosed that it had broke all its previous records by manufacturing 742,821 pounds bf butter in 1923. "Will G. Hyde, president; C. W. Pennock, secretary and manager; and Chris Marshall, treasurer, were all re-elected to office,” advised the News in reporting the meeting. Pennock became a longtime manager of the creamery which was also staffed with a tester, but­ termaker, bookkeeper and other workers for such tasks as emptying and washing cream cans and packaging the finished product. Ap­ parently an occasional ex­ cursion through a com­ petitor’s operation helped the prize-winning local crew stay on top. “Employees of the Nash­ ville crean^ery visited creameries at Litchfield and Homer Tuesday/* noted the News in early November 1924. “Making the trip were Misses Mary Pennock, Velma Brumm, Dorothy Mason and Ruth Shafer; and Percy Penfold, George Parrott, Harry Hinckley and Harry Green.” While forking in the Nashville creamery as ‘‘boss but­ termaker,” Penfold had discovered how to eliminate a problem in the process. “The salt would always work to the outside of the butter and form crystals,” explains Nashville native Wayne Fuller, now of Toledo. “Percy ex­ perimented and found that if the salt was dampened before being added to the butter it would stay dissolved in the butter and not work out.” Penfold later moved to East Jordan and managed a creamery there for 30 years. Now deceased, his son Alston is carrying on the family tradition as a present-day creamery manager at Jessup, Iowa. In 1929 the Farmers’ Cooperative moved their operation to Sherman Street, locating in the same building that once housed their 1902 forerunner - the Nashville Creamer. by the 1930’s the cooperative was also processing dried milk and cheese for market, as well as butter, and the organization continued to prosper. A 1940 fire heavily damaged the Sherman Street plant but the creamery, maintained operation until a new facility could be built on South Main Street (present-day R. & F. Industries! and opened for business in 1942. The Farmers’ Cooperative Creamery had another 10 years of life before changing times, and the increasing popularity of oleo margarine, brought about its’ demise in October 1952. A foreshadow of things to come was noted at what was to be the last annual meeting of stockholders the preseeding march. Discussed were the dairy farm manpower shortage and laws —governing manufacturing, sale and advertising of dairy product substitutes.' But there is no substitute for the many happy memories surrounding the creamery’s 38 years of operation. Action Ads WANTED: Military rifles and pistols.

Lion girls drop two — The varsity basketball team lost two important games last -week when league rivals Lakeview and Portland both posted vic­ tories over the Lions. Lakeview came to JValley on Tuesday and had all they could handle in the first half of play. Though the visiting Wildcats took a 16-12 first quarter advantage, the Lions outscored their opponents in the second quarter 19-15 to make the half-time score 3131. But the Lions super defense of ’the first half became the Wildcats’ in the third quarter. The visitors seized every opportunity to score from the tip-off of the last half and blitzed the Lions 26-4 in the third quarter. Valley turnovers became Wildcat layups as the Lions offense sputtered. The final score put Lakeview on top 7545. 45. Julie Barlow was high point getter with 12. Tuesday Aspinall netted 9 points and Lori Decker 8. Kathy Christopher grabbed 12 rebounds and Lori Decker 8 for Valley.. Wildcat Pat Doll scored 19 points and Karmen Kartes tallied 18 with 14 of those points coming in the third quarter. The Valley squad traveled to Portland on Thursday to take on a tall Red Raider squad. The game was never really in question as Carol Tichvon and 6’ Kate Doherty of Portland dominated board play. The final score was 6336 in favor of Portland. Though short on rebounds, the Valley girls were never short on hustle and continued to battle until the final buzzer. Their aggressive defense kept the host Raiders on their toes and working hard. High scorer for both squads wa~S Gayle Hoffman of Portland a 10 point per game average player who was deadly from the outside and put 26 points on the board for the Raiders. Julie Barlow scored 17 points for Valley. The two losses put Valley at 3-5 for the season overall.

In fact, plowing with a SAME is a pleasure and, when fitting ground, the large front tires help take the jar out of the ride by floating across the rough ground.

October 10, 1979 — Page 14 Old-time general store opens in Nashville Billed as “the most unusual country store in the mid-west,’’ the' new Thor- napple General Store in Nashville is like a scene recreated from the past A wonderful array of old-fashioned type candies are for sale and are displayed in beautiful glass con­ tainers, collected by the Dimmers. Customers flocked into the new old-time store during its recent grand-opening and were greeted with the aroma of hot peanuts roasting in 'a turn-of-the century roaster which had been used for years and years at the Hillsdale County Fair. Storekeeper of the new venture is Carolyn Dimmers of Hastings. The business is actually a project of the whole family including husband David and daughters Martha and Julie. Accenting the items for sale are many lovely antiques the Dimmers have collected over the years — an old-time scale, pot-bellied stove, old-fashioned curved glass cases, counters, and many others. Carolyn has tastefully stocked the store with many unusual items which fit in perfectly with the country store atmosphere such as ornaments unique of Christmases past, charming calicos, Kentucky hills pottery, handmade crafts, wooden toys, Nashville Maple Syrup, and oldfashioned wooden utensils and toys, baskets, clever motif wrapping paper, delightful cards and notes, jewelry, “tantalizing tin containers,” “pleasingly puckery pickles,” cheese by the round, and crackers by the handful. Of the pottery, the owners say, “it took a great deal of searching to find pottery that is just right for an oldfashioned store. But we finnally located it way out in the hill country of Kentucky. The potter doesn’t ship out so we loaded all we could into our station wagon and brought it back to please our good customers.” They also say, “the old wooden rake factory still makes rakes and other utensils the same as it did 100 years ago. The resulting products are beautiful in their simplicity and just right for utilitarian purposes or for display in your home.” The store is located at 201 N. Main Street and is open Wednesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. It will be closed December 30 to March 19, 1980. “Thanks Storekeeper Carolyn Dimmers (left) of Nashville's new Thornapple General Store gets ready to put the lid on a fancy old-fashioned tin full of candy she trimmed with paper lace doilies. Assisting Carolyn at the shop on weekends is Beverly Slade (right) who resides near Ionia. On the shelves in the background are bolts of special selections of charming calicos which are offered for sale and a nostalgic assortment of old-time jars, tins and other product-type containers for display.. (Maple Valley News photos by Elaine Gilbert) Delighting in the antique decor and' unusual items the old-time General Store are Hastings shoppers (from left) Harriet Chapell, Mrs. Lyle Hulbert, and Elizabeth Underwood. Mrs. Chapell and Mrs. Underwood pause for a momentto play a game of checkers near the old pot-bellied stove - just like a scene from the general store of yesteryear. It has been nearly three weeks since our fire, and we would like to thank our community for their help in getting us back on our feet, again. Without the help, concern, and presence of all who were there, we might have sold our cows and given up. We still find it hard to believe that so many people showed up to help us and stayed With us for so long. People we have lived with for years, and others we did noteven know, donated time, man-power, trucks, tractors, feed, tools of all sorts - even a bulk tank to get us through. We would like to thank those who helped save our cows, those who brought food throughout the week, and those who helped clean up that which had been destroyed. No one can know the good feeling we had when a shiny new roof went up over our milk house twenty-four hours after the barns went down, with hay bales from the barn still burning behind it. The cooperation of all who were there was tremendous. We want to give special thanks to our volunteer fire department for saving our house and surrounding buildings, and for helping us keep our herd watered that night. And we feel a special kinship with our three herdsmen and their families who stuck with us for so many sleepless days and nights in order to keep the stock content and to save the remainder of our milking herd. Thank you all. Now we know how good a community can be. Sincerely yours, Kearney and Eva Howe and from Stanley and Lillian Howe Karen-Eve Howe Riteway WOODSTOVE — DEALER — 517-852-1543 The aroma of hot roasted peanuts greeted customers as they entered the Thornapple General Store during its grand opening.

October 10. 1979 — Page 15 U-M says well-rounded education is best for college prep The director of un­ dergraduate admissions at The University of Michigan says a well-rounded high school education featuring a core of courses in five traditional areas - English, foreign languages, mathematics, science, and social science - constitutes the best preparation for students bound for study at the U-M. In a “letter of support” to superintendents and high school principals around the state, Clifford F. Sjogren said that, while some students are eager to em­ phasize career oriented subjects in high schqpL continued emphasis on the traditional college preparation courses will offer them greatest options in choosing a college program of study. “High school students are faced with important and difficult decisions about their future educational and career plans,” wrote Sjogren in the letter, mailed this week. “Those decisions will generally be easier to make if students have a wide variety of educational op­ tions available to them. A well balanced, rigorous high school academic curriculum, successfully completed, will provide a student with the preparation needed for virtually any post-secondary educational program.” Sjogren noted that, in the past, “most students en­ tering the U-M have com­ pleted demanding secondary school programs that have included course work in each of the five major academic disciplines. As a result, the options available to them Wildlife Chef” teaches game recipies Between now and late numbering thousands of May, when the wild turkey copies, with proceeds going season ends in Michigan, this to MUCC’s conservation and state’s hunters will bring education programs.

Of course, further study in music and art requires additional preparation.” Specifically, the U-M admissions director suggested that high school students carry four academic courses each term selected from English, foreign language, mathematics, science and social science, with two remaining periods available for “elective courses1’ in other academic or non­ academic areas. Sjogren noted that the current letter to high school principals follows a “letter of concern” sent in 1977 emphasizing the heed for improved student writing skills, along with continued foreign language training and diversity in high school subjects. A number of programs have been put into effect at U-M to improve student writing skills.

Writi n.g requirements for upperclass students are also being phased into the curriculum. Much of these programs have been funded by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The English Composition Board of the U-M*s college of Literature, Science, and the Arts has also been con­ ducting conferences for educators throughout Michigan and northern Ohio to strengthen the teaching of English composition. In this week’s letter, admissions director Sjogren noted that a brochure, “Admission of Freshmen, 1980,” which is sent to all freshman applicants to the U-M, lists suggested 9th through 12th grade subject patterns for students planning to study in such areas as literature, science and . the arts, engineering, nursing, natural resources, music, education, art, and dental hygiene.

Railroad plans special ‘traveling’ open house At a dinner meeting at the Steak House Restaurant last Wednesday evening; the Nashville Chamber , of Commerce learned that the new Kent-Barry-Eaton Connecting Railroad plans a traveling open house Oc­ tober 27, with a tentative 3 p.m. arrival in Nashville. Chamber president Charles Andrus, Jr., said Wednesday that he had recently met with K-B-E officials; Jim Gordon, Barry County Commissioner from Thornapple Township; and Sylvia Dulaney, Barry County Grants Coordinator. Andrus reported that arrangements call for the open house train to leave the company’s home office at Dutton- and make hour-long stops at each community along the route. “It is good, .what the railroad is trying to do,” commented Andrus. “They are trying to get back on a one-to-one level with local communities so we can better utilize the railroad.” Andrus said that planned stops by the train will allow local citizens to tour the cars, which should be of special interest to youngsters as well as adults. Free refreshments will be offered, and those present may register for a future drawing for a free ride on the railroad. Expected to ac­ company the winners are local government officials from each town along the route. Calvin Sheldon, president of the K-B-E line, is •currently in Washington, D. C., Andrus said, to secure information on the acquisition and cost of operating a beeliner. “Sheldon is very op­ timistic about what he can do to improve rail service,'” noted Andrus; The railroad will attempt to offer 5-day per week service, and has set up an advisory committee com­ prised of shippers and prospective customers along the route, Andrus reported. He also disclosed that the railroad will establish a tool shed in Nashville, staffed by two K-B-E employees, to keep the rail lines between this village and Vermontville in repair. In other business the Chamber: --Decided the Civic Im­ provement Committee should place canisters in local business places in Cont. pg. 3 — Students from across the ocean attend Maple Valley High Six exchange students are attending Maple Valley High School this year.

(Maple Valley News photo) New ‘fire truck’ visits Nashville schools Mrs. Long’s fourth grade class at Fuller Street School in Nashville had an op­ portunity to learn all about the community’s new fire truck on Friday in ob­ servance of Fire Prevention Week when Assistant Chief Larry Decker and Firefighter John Mason brought the gleaming new pumper-tanker truck to school. What could be more ap­ propriate than a fire drill during Fire Prevention Week? Later that day, when the drill alarm sounded at Kellogg School Friday af­ ternoon, students poured out of the building and found the community’s brand new fire truck on display near the front entrance. They are shown gathered around the pumper-tanker as John Mason explains the equipment, describes the training fjrefighters must undergo, and talks about -the role of the department in Castleton and Maple Grove Townships and Nashville. Nashville to seek partial release of sewer funds to acquire parcels of land Nashville officials will apply to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for early release of partial grant funds to aquire three parcels of property for the village’s propsed new wastewater treatment facility, it was disclosed at Thursday’s meeting of the village council. Sought will be 80 percent of a total of $171,875 purchase price for approximately 160 acres, plus a property ap­ praisal fee. The funds sought are part ofapproximately $3.5 million offered through state and federal grants for the village’s $4.8 sewer im­ provement project, ap­ proved by Nashville voters in September. Land being acquired for a new lagoonand-irrigation type treat­ ment facility lies northwest of the village on Brumm Road. At Thursday’s meeting, village officials revealed the purchase price recently negotiated with owners of three properties being acquired for the project. John J. and Montielle Dull of Nashville will receive $65,000 for approximately 80 acres of vacant land; William and Janice Roberts will receive $68,000 for ap­ proximately 40 acres in­ cluding their home and outbuildings; and Kathy Luke of Alma will receive $38,875 for approximately 40 acres of land, reserving the right to remove all trees from the property prior to the start of construction. All are purchased in compliance with the U.S. Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970. In other business, the council heard trustee Lonny Kienutske report on a police committee investigation which exonerated a Nash­ ville police officer from criticism that he had not promptly responded to a recent assault and battery complaint. The incident occured near a Harvest Festival street dance on a village-owned Cont. pg. 6 — Nashville Church of Nazarene honors the Rev. James Sherman family — Members and friends of the Church of the Nazarene, Nashville, will be having a farewell fellowship honoring their pastor and family. Rev. James Sherman has resigned from the pastorate, effective October 28, after faithfully serving nearly 10 years in the Nashville Church. He has no im­ mediate plans for the future. The Church and community will greatly miss his ministry. Friends and acquain­ tances are cordially invited to hear his farewell message Sunday, October 28, at 11:00 a.m. The farewell fellowship will be held following the evening services on that day �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, October 17, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Three times and out; or, if at first you don’t succeed - try, try again. Perhaps there is some such moral behind a story about the Riverside Recreational Development Corp, and a shipment of commemorative T-shirts. The garments had been ordered for entrants in Nashville’s recent Harvest Run but did not arrive in time for the festival. The RRDC, sponsors of the celebration, had intended to hand all par­ ticipants in the race a T-shirt at the time of their registration for the 6.2 mile run Saturday. Ordered from a Rockford, Michigan supplier, the shirts would have been in the village on time if the delivery company had not mis-routed said merchandise to Nashville, Tennessee. After that blunder, the error was compounded when the shirts were sent to Nashville, Indiana. When the parcel finally arrived at Nash­ ville, Michigan, the 10,000 meter Harvest Run was past history. At a recent gathering of the RRDC and festival volunteers, 100 runner registration forms were matched with T-shirts of specified size and said garments stuffed into individual mailing envelopes, hand-addressed by the group. Despite the delay, 91 men and 8 women, and one entrant who registered but did not run, will receive T-shirts bearing the inscription “10,000 k Harvest Run, Nashville, Michigan.” If only the delivery folks had noted that final word. They, it is reported, will stand some of the postage expense incurred by the RRDC in making good their promise to the runners. Winning the 1979 Harvest Run was 30-year-old Duane Spitz who finished first in his age group and first overall, with a time of 31 minutes, 54 seconds. The route, starting at Put­ nam Park, ran from Brumm Road to Price; north to Thornapple Lake Road, across M-66 to Hagar Road, curving into Kellogg Street and terminating at Putnam Park. Incidentally, the Harvest Run, chaired by Tom Oleson with the aid of Pastor Don Roscoe of Nashville, drew en­ trants from diverse age groups and areas. The oldest runner was a 57-year-old East Lansing man. The youngest were three 13-year-olds; two boys and a girl.

Richard and Lois Elliston will be celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary with an open house Sunday, October 21, at their home on Francis St. The3 to 5 p.m. event is being hosted by their three children. Mrs. Elliston is the former Lois Phillips. She is currently serving as Nashville village treasurer and has been a former member of Nashville’s village council, and is also very active in other community activities including the Riverside Recreational Develop­ ment Corp. Richard, ar\ employee of Kelloggs of Battle Creek, was inducted into that company’s 25-year club last May. The couple were married October 24,1954 at Hastings. Nashville’s Main Street will be brightened this Yuletide with four new lamp post decorations recently purchased by the local Chamber of Commerce from their special Christmas street decoration fund. To continue their on-going project to update the village’s holiday decor, merchants will have canisters in December to collect public donations from those who wish to help the Chamber in this effort. Twenty years ago, in 1959, Nashville received it’s first foreign exchange student under the newly-organized Youth for Understanding program. He was Bernd Riberi of Stolberg, Germany. Bernd spent a year here, staying with the late Gale Keihl and his wife Alice. Bernd graduated with Nashville’s Class of 1959, then returned to Germany to continue his education. Now a chemical engineer with a PH­ D degree, Bernd and his wife will fulfill a longtime dream to return to America and, especially, Nashville. They will arrive at the Keihl home Saturday, October 20. Mrs. Keihl hopes that Bernd, who now lives at Cologne, Germany, will be able to meet with many of his former friends while here, and perhaps some current exchange students. Mrs. Larry (June) Decker ofNashville was hospitalized at Pennock last Monday suffering with a combination of asth­ ma and allergy, plus a touch of the flu. Because of the nature of her illness, she was not allowed to have flowers that were sent her in the room. At this writing, it is not known how much longer she must be confined. Still in intensive care at Pennock Hospital is Mrs. Willard (Goldie) Helsel who was rushed there by Nashville am­ bulance after suffering an attack at her home October 11. She had suffered both a heart attack and stroke, and has since had a subsequent stroke. At this writing it is not known how long she will be hospitalized. Mrs. Ronald (Cynthia) Dean of Nashville, who underwent surgery last Tuesday for removal of a lung, is doing well at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids. Bill and Mary Hecker of Nashville hosted a Tuesday evening party at their home for members of the Riverside 'Recreational Development Corp, and volunteers who had worked on Nashville’s recent Harvest Festival. Sallye McLean, head of the RRDC, was co-hostess for the gathering. She thanked all those attending for the work they had done in making the 1979 celebration such an outstanding success. Dick Chaffee, treasurer of the RRDC, reported that the festival grossed nearly $4,400. After expenses of ad­ vertising, contest prizes, parade entries, dance en­ tertainment, etc., are paid, the group should net over $2,000 for their community recreational park project. Present at Tuesday’s event, in addition to Mrs. McLean and Dick and Marilyn Chaffee were: Lois Elliston, Lorna Wilson, Dewey Dull, Delores Marshall, Nancy Johncock, Tom and Beverly Oleson, Denny and Janice Lamie, Dave and Brinda Hawkins, Larry and Suzy Corkwell, and Mary Bills and Ray and Sue Hinckley. Mrs. Marion Dawson Elliston, a former Nashville resident now of Delton, will be celebrating her 70th birthday on October 28. Her daughter, Mrs. Joyce Baker of Delton, hopes Marion’s local friends will remember her with a card as Marion misses seeing Nashville folks. She lived for 35 years at 225 State Street before moving to Delton three years ago to be nearer her daughter and family. Mrs. Elliston’s friends who wish to cheer her with a card shower may mail them to her at 6600 Guernsey Lake Road, Delton, 49046. Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville was in Diamondale Sunday to call on Mrs. Beatrice Abel and Mr. and Mrs. A. J. DeLong. Both ladies are sistera-in-Iaw to Mrs. Frederick. Congratulations to Randy and Kim Fowler of Nashville on the birth of a son, October 5. The new arrival weighed 8 lbs., 4% ozs. and has been named Richard Allen. He is welcomed home by his brother, Riley. Proud grandparents are Thelma and Lee Christopher of Nashville. Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Douse, Jr. of Nashville enjoyed an overnight visit last Tuesday with their son Steve, who flew to Michigan on business from his home in Washington, D. C. That city received several inches of snow while Steve was here. Last winter, when he flew to Florida to visit his parents at their home, he was similarly surprised - being “snowed out” when it came time to return to the capital city; Steve is employed by the U.S. Government as an attorney with the Anti-Trust Division of the Justice Dept. The Nashville ambulance was summoned to the Leonard Joppie residence on Lentz Street last Wednesday evening when a young man fell from a ladder while working on the roof of the house. Taken to Community Hospital was Bill Quick of Maple Grove. He is reported to have no serious injuries but was hospitalized for observation. He had been helping the Joppie’s son-in-law on the roof when the accident happened. Mr. and Mrs. Joppie returned home from vacation about an hour after the mishap, which added a blow to an already-dismal perch fishing expedition to Drummond Island. They went north Saturday, intending to stay a week, but came home early when they were snowed out. Accompanied by their son Steven, the Joppies arrived in rain which followed a beautiful Saturday morning. Mixed with snow, the precipitation did not let up for several days, so the Joppies gave up and returned to Nashville. A trip to Indiana for the Shipshewana flea market was enjoyed last Monday by several local ladies. Traveling down in the motor home of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Bahsfor a shopping spree, browsing and an antiques tour were Louise Bahs, Lois Elliston, Janet Gardner and Jean Welker, all of Nashville, and Norma Hummel of Vermontville. A recent Friday evening birthday party at the home of Larry and Suzy Corkwell ofNashville honored Sharon Beech of Sunfield and Mrs. Alyce Hosmer of Nashville. Co-hosting the event were Rick and Cathy Vessecchia of Nashville. Present in addition to Alyce’s husband, Bob, were Mrs. Gloria Johncock; Pastor and Mrs. Don Roscoe and children, Amy and Brent, and their friend, Kim Tutt; Vivian and Don Conner and daughter, Amanda; all of Nashville, and The funeral is a rite of separation. It confirms the reality of death. This, psychiatrists say, is a necessary beginning toward healthy adjust­ ment to loss. There are some who want to deny that a person has died ond their life on earth has ended. Viewing the body serves to reverse the denial and promotes acceptance of the death of the loved one.

The baby’s parents are former Nashville residents, Suzanne and David Ramsey, both former teachers in the Maple Valley system. Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin, wrote recently to comment on several “Memories” published these past few weeks. He had some very fascinating remembrances to share about several subjects. About the early Harvest Festivals, he recalled, “The balloon ascensions were always interesting. Out in the country we could sometimes see the balloonist make his parachute drop and then the balloon would turn upside down, the black smoke would come out and the balloon would land somewhere.” (The Meades lived northwest of town on Eaton Road.) “I always wondered how the owners knew where to look for the balloon so it could be readied for the next ascension,” he added. Meade also reminisced about the sounds ofthe early festivals; how he enjoyed the melodies of the organ on the merry-go-round set up on West Washington Street, and the music of the band leading the parade. On the Appelman Store feature, Kenneth A. Meade wrote: “I particularly enjoyed the photograph showing the interior of the store and could almost smell the coffee from the coffee grinder, mixed with the smell of spices.” He noted that at the Kraft store, on the other side of the street, shoes were also sold, so the odor of leather was mixed in with the usual grocery store smells. About the old Grist Mill (later Nashville Roller Mills) Meade recalled going to the mill with his dad to get feed ground or to sell wheat, when the Kysers owned it. “Mrs. Kyser would give us home-baked doughnuts she had just made at her home across the street,” he wrote. “She usually worked right along with Mr. Kyser in the mill.” Meade also remembered later-owner, Otto Lass as “a very interesting person.” Lass was active in the Nashville Masonic Lodge when Meade took his degree there in 1926 and many .years thereafter, Kenneth A. Meade also wrote about his recent meeting of actor Lew Ayers, when both received honorary degrees in September at Oakland University. Meade found Ayers a very interesting person, who suffered a great deal because of being a conscientious objector in World War II and because of Ayers’ continuing anti-war stand. Meade had lunch with the actor and a small group of Oakland faculty members who were interested in discussing a course in comparison of religions which Ayers has been teaching. Of course, Meade was thrilled at receiving an honorary degree from the university. After the graduation ceremonies, a reception and dinner was held for those honored and members of their families. Mrs. Meade, and three sons of Kenneth were able to attend, making it a very memorable day for all. George Williams of Nashville was injured while cutting wood on his father’s property south of town Tuesday evening. He was taken to Pennock Hospital by Nashville ambulance for treatment of a leg injury sustained when he was pinned under a felled limb. He was treated at the hospital and released. Orla Belson of Nashville fell at his home Wednesday morning, and was transported to Pennock Hospital by the Nashville ambulance. He is hospitalized at the time orthis report, but reportedly suffered no fractures in the incident.

Mrs. Elsie Ramsey of Nashville was a Monday and Tuesday houseguest last week at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Claudette Myers of Charlotte. Mrs. Weda Roberts of Nashville enjoyed accompanying Richard and Mildred Burd, also of this village, to Hastings, Sunday were she called on Mrs. Mabie Flook. Mr. and Mrs. Burd drove on to the Yankee Springs area to call on his brother, Archie Burd. Mrs. Mildred Bursley returned home to Nashville last week after a seven-day color tour of Canada and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. She accompanied her nieces, Mrs. Tessie Briggs and Mrs. Mary Beaudion, both of Detroit, on the excursion which included a 7-hour train ride in Canada. The ladies visited near the Hearst area, before returning to the USA and touring the Upper Peninsula by auto. There, they stopped at Calument and several other small villages to view the autumn scenery.

Wednesday, October 17, 1979 — Page 4 Memories of the past By Susan Hinckley temperance movement that succeeded in putting three local saloonkeepers out of business, nearly a dozen years before national prohibition. “Local option, disenfranchisement of the pool rooms, a curfew ordinance in contemplation, a spitting ordinance,” expounded the Nashville News in an editorial stand. “Say what’s 1908 was an unusual year in the Nashville business community. While many Main Street enterprises thrived and expanded, others met extinction at the hands of social pressure exerted through a unique political maneuver known as “local option”. Probably no other issue was more widely debated in the community that year than a countywide the matter of getting a big tent, putting it over the town and calling it a tabernacle.” That would have required some huge canopy, for in 1908 Nashville was literally growing by leaps and bounds. Two major buildings, the Nashville Club and the Hurd Block, were under construction that year. (The first is the Gribben Block, Business flourished on Nashville's Main Street-in 1908, except for three local saloons closed in a countywide temperance movement.

C. Hurd is getting ready to commence the construction of his building on the corner of Main and Maple Streets,” the News informed readers in Sep­ tember 1908. “At the last meeting of the council, Hurd was granted use of the streets to pile material on. The building will be two stories high and will be built of cement blocks?’' Erstwhile photographer, bicycle repairman and auto mechanic, Hurd in 1910 established one of the earliest Ford sales agencies in this part of Michigan. (He chose a South Main Street location for that enterprise and leased the Hurd Block for the other business ven­ tures. T Competitive prices drew shoppers to Nashville’s Main Street in 1908. At O. M.

GaW Sales in Lake Odessa • Ph. 374-8835 Former Vermontville man has a hand in World Series by Larry Hamp When Dave Parker steps into the batter’s box in this year’s World Series, Ken Beardslee can say with satisfaction, “I helped get him up there.” Beardslee and d another Pittsburg Pirates scout worked together to sign Parker, starting him on a great career in the majors. Beardslee, a great athlete himself, almost made it to the parent club in the Yankee organization before a back injury halted a promising career. Beardslee began playing organized baseball with thet Vermontville Merchants at the age of 15. “That little team was one of the best I ever played on,” Beardsley said. Vermontville had no high school team at that time. “We played teams from big cities all over the southern part of the state — and beat them,” Beardslee said. High school officials organized a team in 1947. A local auto mechanic volunteered to coach. “I was used to pitching to mature ballplayers by that time,” Beardslee commented. He showed his own maturity by setting national high school records that still stand. \Beardslee pitched eight no-Jiitters, struck out 452 batters in 29 games, or 19 of every 21 batters faced. Beardslee pitched his first game for the Merchants against VanderCook Lake, just outside Jackson. “We were beaten three to two,” Beardslee said, “But I went the - whole nine innings.” Looking back, Beardslee said that game was perhaps the most important he ever pitched. “I was just a kid — I don’t know hoW I did it, but it gave me confidence I never lost,” he said. Beardslee was a sophmore when Vermontville High’s first team was organized. “We didn’t have a single kid who’d played organized ball except me with the Mechants, but we won 12 straight,” he commented. Middleville had a great team that year. They met Vermontville for the Barry, Eaton and Ionia County championship at the Fairgrounds in Hastings. “It was quite a game — we beat them one to nothing,” Beardslee said. Beardslee was drafted and sighed by the New York. Yankees. He played several outstanding seasons in the minors. “I signed the same year as Mickey Mantle — and in 1950 I played with Mantle at Joplin, Missouri,” Beardslee said. In four years Beardslee won 64 and lost 24 in the minors. “I was having a real good year and was about to be called up to the Yanks when I hurt my back,” he said. Beardslee never played another inning of pro baseball. “It was a terrible psychological blow,” Beardslee said. He came home to Vermontville to work in a bank for two years. “I was kind of lost — I’d always dreamed of playing pro baseball, had almost made it to the top,” he remembered. Two years later, Beardslee opened the door to op­ portunity’s knock. “Joe Al Brown, son of comedian Joe E. Brown, and General Manager of -the Pirates organization, got me a job scouting for Pittsburg,” Beardslee said. He scouted high school and college ballplayers in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. “I was lucky to get back into baseball,” he said, adding, “There are only thirteen scouts scouts in in the Pirate organization.” Beardslee retired a couple of years ago, though he still scouts players for the Bucs on occasion. He’s been running a summer baseball camp for boys on the campus py p of Manchester College iin Indiana. “It’s the only camp of its kind in the Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin area,” he said. He said seven or eight boys in camp last summer looked like potential pro prospects. “I really enjoyed my years scouting and had the opportunity to start a lot of good ball players on their pro careers,” Beardslee said. Among the best ballplayers he signed is a young man named Ed Whitson who plays with the Giants. “I. •signed him for the Pirates but he was traded in the Madlock deal,” Beardslee said. k Whitson pitched three years in the minors and is now one of the most promising pitchers in the National League. “He could be the best player I ever signed and I found him by accident," said Beardslee. He found Whitson when watching another prospect who turned out, “Short on brains and attitude.” Among the many friends and former teammates Beardslee has in pro baseball are Whitey Ford, Bobby Richardson, Mickey Mantle, Gus Triandos, Gerry Lumpe and Houston Astros manager Bill Virdon. “There are so many good men it’s Former Vermontville High School baseball player and member of the New York Yankees and Pittsburg Pirates organization is writing a book about small town baseball.

Beardslee is writing a book on small town baseball in America. “I hope to make it fun to read and instructional as well,” he said. He’s particularly interested in information pertaining to Baseball in Vermontville during the 1940’s. “I’d sure appreciate help from anyone who has pic­ tures, newspaper write-ups, or other information on Vermontville area baseball,” he said. Anyone wishing to assist can contact Beardslee at Box 68, Rt. 1, Milford, Ind., 46542.

Two alleged assailants were reportedly still on the scene when one of three persons who sustained blows jn the incident approached the Nashville officer for assistance. The officer was in the Nashville police cruiser, parked on Main Street near village hall, about 150 yards from the parking lot. A one-man Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, unit arrived in front of the village hall just as the report was being made to the Nash­ ville office, said Kienutske, and the deputy radioed for additional backup after being advised of the situation by the local officer. The complainant returned to the scene on foot. The officers proceeded to the area by car, arriving within 5 to 10 minutes of the initial report, according to Kienutske who received his information from the dispatching office. Both officers then walked through the crowd but were unable to locate the complainant, he said. “There was, within five to ten minutes, immediate show-up on the scene,” stated Kienutske. He claimed the officers had missed the complainant because he and those in his group had gone to his nearby home. The alleged assailants were not apprehended. In other action Thursday the council: -Approved renewal of a multi-peril insurance package and a vehicle coverage policy with the Hecker Agency. --Referred back to the Nashville Planning and Zoning Board for clarification of appointment procedure, a request for a $5 per meeting remuneration for each of the boards’ seven members. -Approved purchase -and installation of carpeting for village hall from Johnson’s Furniture Store at the cost of $260.

Woodland made their only score of the game in the middle of the first quarter when they gained possession of the ball on a fourth down situation. They were able to move in for the TD by sweeping around the end. Nashville’s defensive stand­ outs of the week, Adam Brumm, Harley Daniels, Mike Hay and David Lan­ caster were ableto hold back the aggressive Woodland team and deprive them of their extra points. Time ran. out in the first half with Nashville threatening to score with the ball on the four yard line. The entire third quarter was a defensive stand-off ^and the 4th down turn-overs. Each team doing a super job of holding the other to a minimum of yards gained. With only minutes left to play in the game Nashville gained some much needed momentum and moved the ball from their own 30 yard line down the field in seven plays. Thanks to some great quarterbacking by Scott Lenz, running by George Steinbrecher ran in for the extra points and put Nash­ ville on the board 8-6. The game ended with Woodland in control of the ball but being held by the Nashville defense. This was the most evenly matched and hardest fought game the boys have played this year. Not once during the whole game . was Woodland able to penetrate the middle of the Nashville defensive line.

Martin Taylor, director of the Michigan Employment Security Commission, an­ nounced today. Taylor explained that unemployment declined by 15,000 to 310,000 throughout the state during September. In August the jobless rate had been 7.5 percent with 325,000 unemployed.

Although the current state jobless rate is down, it is still above the year ago rate of 5.8 percent when 243,000 were without jobs. Taylor said that during the past year only half of those entering the labor force looking for work were successful, resulting in the current higher unem­ ployment levels. He ex­ plained that employment is increasing in the non­ manufacturing industries, but, cannot keep pace with the loss ofjobs in the durable goods industries. Taylor believes many of those entering the labor market over the year have been secondary wage ear­ ners such as wives and students who were trying to supplement family income. Taylor also said that the economic outlook for the state has brightened because of the settlements between the UAW and General Motors and Ford Motor Company. Nationally, the September jobless rate fell by twotenths of a percent to 5.8 percent.

Pumpkins should be harvested when they are orange and have a hard skin, but before a hard frost. They can be stored after being cured (held for 10 days at 8 85 degrees) for several months in a cool, dry place. Pumpkins can be baked in the oven or cooked in boiling water on top of the stove. (Remove seeds and strings first.) Cooked pumpkin freezes well, but canned pumpkin must be processed in a pressure canner. Nutritional value? Pumpkin is an excellent source of Vitamin A. And you can roast the seeds too, after removing the hulls. Enjoy lots of pumpkin this year - its good for more than Halloween fun! Phone 852-9338 CURTIS CRAFT CENTER 205 S.

The purpose js to improve water clarity and reduce iron oxide deposits in the water mains. Since the original installation of the Vermontville water system, deposits of rust and scale have been accumulating in the underground piping. Because of the number of complaints of rusty water, the Council voted to correct the problem. Recommended by the Elhorn Engineering Co. of Lansing and approved by the Michigan Department •of Public Health, the product "Aquadene" will be inducted into the water from the wells. This will actively loosen the rust and scale so that hydrant flushing wifi remove these solids from the system. The Aquadene chemical is harmless, tasteless and odorless, and will not effect the potability of water in any way. According to the Elhorn Eng. Co. representatives, the chemical will especially improve the water at "dead ends" and in low consuming areas where rust and scale.accumulate more heavily. A hydrant flushing program has been slated to commence on October 23, 24 and 25, 1979, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. each day.

Cappon said price of number two grade fuel oil is 33 cents per gallon higher than on Nov. 1,1978. Fuel oil prices climbed steadily last winter. “We’ve run into one problem with number one oil,” Cappon added. He said closing of a huge terminal in Jackson to distributors has forced them to haul number one oil from Detroit. Cappon’s number two oil comes from Grand Haven. Drivers hauling number two oil make two round trips to Grand Haven per day. “But the Detroit run takes Junior-senior parent teacher conferences The first 6 weeks marking period has been completed.

Number one oil accounts for about 18 percent of Cappon’s sales. Price of number two oil differs by only one cent per gallon at Barry County’s two largest distributors. Cappon said number one oil is five cents per gallon higher due to higher cost of hauling from Detroit. Cappon said, “About all our customers are filled now, but we have all four delivery trucks on the road today and both our tankers are out.” Cappon said the price of fuel oil has remained steady for about 30 days. “I hope it doesn’t go any higher this winter,” he said, but added, “I’m afraid it’s going to.” From our readers TO THE EDITOR: As participants in your recent Harvest Festival 10,000 Meter Run, we would like to extend our ap­ preciation to those responsible for an extremely fine event. Due to our in­ terest in running, we take part in numerous races throughout the state. We think your race was uniquely enjoyable for a number of reasons. The organization was outstanding. Running on a beautiful and welldesigned course was a distinct pleasure in contrast to most races which are confined to paved city streets and frequently show little imagination in layout. By contrast, running through the captivating countryside around Nash­ ville at 8:00 o’clock in the morning was an inspiring and refreshing experience. Combining this event with your Harvest Festival gave us an opportunity to walk through town, meet several friendly people such as Ed Smith at the tractor pull, pick up a few small gifts for members of our families, partake of some great cider and doughnuts, and most importantly, discover the special warmth of the Nash­ ville community. We would like to extend a special thanks to Tom Oleson, coordinator of the race, and the many helpful people working with him. It is little "wonder that the number of (runners in this event has increased five times over last year’s tur­ nout. We are already looking forward to coming back next year. John Cooper, E. Lansing Mike Madden, E. Lansing PBB RESULTS - An extensive study has shown that although most state residents carry a trace of PBB, there is no direct evidence of PBB-caused health problems. The study was optimistic about the lack of such health problems in the future. COUNTER-POINT - The House first changed SB 471 so that it would give at least a point for under-70 speeding violations starting at 60 mph instead of 55 as in the Senate version, then defeated the bill. Another vote may come this week. COMP MEETINGS - The Governor’s Task Force on . Workers’ Compensation Reform is scheduled to resume its meetings this week, five weeks after it was supposed to. This allowed issues in the auto-contract talks to be settled on I heir own terms. . PRIMARY PIROUETTES - Despite the Democrats’ October 1 deadline, efforts continue to change Michigan’s Presidential Primary. The Seante has changed HB 4392, which originally would have killed the primary, so that it now would require voters to declare Party preference. Also, a proposal has been advanced to move the primary to March from its present May date. MEDICAL MARIJUANA - Both houses have now ap­ proved SB 185, which would set up a therapy research program to determine the beneficial effects of marijuana as a medical treatment for those suffering from glaucoma or side-effects of cancer chemotherapy. Also, the drug could be prescribed for such patients but Would be sold only by certain pharmacies. RECOUNT CHANGE - The House has passed HB 4814, which would speed up the recount process for state House and Senate seats. Our constitution says the legislature has authority over such recounts; HB 4814 would allow the State Board of Canvassers to do them, thus speeding up the process by a month or two, although the legislature would still have the final say. ■ WOOD WORDS - Since the fall and winter heating season is upon us, you might want to write for free information on wood stoves and other types of alternative energy sources from the Energy Administration, Solar Office, P.O.

WALNUT BILL - Now in the Senate is HB 4439, which would require all buyers of walnut trees to be registered with the DNR and to mark all cut logs with a special stamp to show it was obtained legally. This is designed to curtail the growing cut-theft of valuable walnut trees.

Points made were by Tracy Spillane, Doreen Cook, and Lynette Williams. The seventh grade girls have one contest this week, Thursday, at home. They will be taking on Bellevue.

Kathy Christopher turned in her best per­ formance to date with 5 steals and 16 total rebounds. Barlow had 6 steals. The host Lions maintained the lead into the third quarter but trailed 36-35 by the end of that time.

Maple Valley’s defense played its best game of the year Friday night. Chris Beebe led the team with twelve tackles and four assists, followed by Mark Siple’s 9 tackles and four assists, but the entire team played well in limiting Saranac’s powerful offense to just 14 points. Player after player came up with big plays and hard hits. Mark Sutfin spent so much time in the backfield, Saranac wasn’t sure he didn’t belong there. Mark Siple, Doug Code, and Chris Beebe made tackles from sideline to sideline. Terry Pierce, - Brian Hamilton and Tony Joostberns allowed only 5 pass completion in 18 attempts, while Tony had probably the best hit of the night on Craig Coulson. Newman Maurer, Joe Brooke, Jeff Mead, Ken Wood, and Ray Hole also played excellent hard hitting defense. The Lions play Portland at home next Friday in a battle to remain in first place.

The Lions’ offensive line has shown tremendous improvement over the year and has proven itself more than capable the last two weeks. Against Montabella, the offensive line opened huge running lanes as the team had its best rushing night of the year. Against Saranac the offensive line did not allow a single sack of the Maple Valley quar­ terback k even though Saranac knew the Lions were passing. It is a great tribute to the offensive line to be able to block well on both run and pass. Congratulations on a job well done to: Marie Siple, Jim Travoli, Ray Hole, Don Beck, Newman Maurer, Ken Wood, Stan Mclintock, Don Fox and Tony Joostberns. Maple Valleys ball carriers have also shown great improvement. Tom Brooke led the team in rushing against Saranac with 63 yards, but Chris Beebe, Doug Cook and Jeff Mead also ran well.

The Lions took the 13-0 lead into the locker room at half­ time. The second half did not start well for the Lions, who fumbled on the 9 yard line on their first possession. Craig Coulson of Saranac ran in on the first play and suddenly the score was 13-7. The Lions continued to move the ball, but could not score, while Saranac went on a long scoring drive, that ended with a 34 yard pass from Cbulson to 6 foot 7 inch Ben Tower. When Haskins kicked the extra point, Saranac had their only lead of the night at 14-13. Maple Valley started their winning drive from their own 32 yard line with less than 3 minutes to play.

Activities will range from a Dungeons and Dragons game tournament to a writing workshop. “What’s It Like to be an Author?” is the topic of a panel discussion, featuring four Michigan science fiction authors, which will start off the first session at 10:10 a.m. Participating authors will be Lloyd Biggie of Ypsilanti who has written seven novels, 40 short stories, and two collections of stories; Robert Asprin of Ann Arbor whose short stories are spiced with satire; Ted Reynolds of Ann Arbor, author of short stories which have been published in magazines; and author Lynn Abbey of Ann Arbor. During the second session, student groups will divide to go into specialty areas to discuss such topics as plotting, writing for magazines, etc. “A Search for Meaning in the Modem World — Focus on Alternative Futures” will be the topic of the keynote address to be delivered by Jerry Reese, teacher-sponsor of the upcoming Conference On Science Media and Games, looks over a poster promotion of the event which will be held at Maple Valley High School. A panel of scientific authors and a State Board of Education Member headline the program. John Watanen, Jr. who will travel from Marquette to attend the Conference. Watanen is delegate to the National Association of State Boards of Education for the State Board of Education. He teaches futuristics and “a bit of science fiction” at Northern Michigan University. The professor also is a member of the World Future Society. Coincidentally, “futuristics” is the theme of the NASBE’s annual con­ ference which Watanen will be attending this week. The day-long conference for talented and gifted students is the result of a year’s worth of planning and organization under the direction of Maple Valley Science Teacher Jerry Reese. The first-time event is student initiated, planned and implemented. It is sponsored by the Eaton Intermediate School District and Maple Valley Schools. Following a luncheon and keynote address, the session from 2:10-3:10 will cover extrapolation — projection into an area not known on the basis of certain variables within the known range. A “meet the authors” hour near the closing of the program will provide a time for an autograph session and a chance for students to mingle with the writers on a Fuller school students show winning posters Winners in the Harvest Festival Poster Contest from Fuller Street Elementary School in Nashville are (front row, from left) Naki Histed, 8 year old third grader who won a second place ribbon; Darcie Elliston, 7, second grade, first place; Wendy Thomson, 10, fourth grade, third place; (middle row) Jody DeGroot, 6, first grade, third place; Steven Fisher, 7, first grade, second place; Nancy Allerding, 8, second grade, third place; Brian Stall, 9, fourth grade, first place; (back row) Jill Langer, 7, second grade, first place; Kim Bahs, 9, fourth grade, third place; Kevin Engel, 9, fourth grade, third place?

Many members have said they were pleased that their decision about financial support of the church was made in the privacy of their home, without a “hard sell" solicitation from the church. In 1977 the Barry County Mental Health Board began a Partial Hospitalization Program. This program is designed to give clients and staff more time to resolve problems. A client can spend a whole day, two to three times a week, in this program until they are doing well enough again to make it on their own. It is expected that this program will be able to further reduce the need for hospitalization. Currently the Board is considering supporting a specialized residential program for the mentally retarded in Barry County. This program is called Alternative Intermediate Services for the mentally retarded or more simply, AIS-MR. The AIS-MR program will enable severly retarded residents of Barry County to live in homes near their parents, relatives and friends instead of in large state run institutions. The program will train these mentally retarded people how to live a more normal and productive life in the community.

(Maple Valley News photo by Virginia Alles) �The Mop*e Volley News. Nashville Wednesday October 24, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Treasures of a 12-y ear-old lad of long ago are the apparent contents of a mysterious box discovered last week in the rafters at Putnam Library. The find was uncovered as the village's Dept, of Public Works crew installed blown in­ sulation into the attic areas of the building. The heavy wooden box, which originally held canned salmon, was spotted by the men as they worked in the upper area of the rear portion of the library. Although contents of the box had not been thoroughly cataloged by the Putnam staff at the time of this report, librarian La Duska Sheldon believes they are probably possessions of a young boy who may have lived with Mr. and Mrs. Charles Putnam, who built the house before the turn of the century. The Putnams had no children of their own, and no other family ever occupied the home as it was willed directly from the Putnams to the village for use as a library. A brief review of the contents of the box disclosed a journal kept by a young lad of about 12 years, a few clay marbles, a collection of colorful stones, old clamp­ on style ice skates, letters from “Mother”, and some now­ antique stamps. A rather unique item was an 1890’s let­ terhead from Len Feighner, publisher of the Nashville News. Some still-to-be-solved contents include mysterious packets of white powder, and an apparent rosin-derivate medication said to have been used by asthmatics of that time. Further details will be furnished as the exploration and analysis continues. The discovery was a “fringe benefit” of the village’s in­ sulation of the library, a much-appreciated effort which will cut fuel costs and keep the building cozier for patrons and staff this winter. * The ever-helpful Friends of the Library have offered to “pitch in” to organize the disarray caused by the recent For the Look and Style You Want...

Both were emptied in order for the restoration work to begin. Now, with new carpeting down in both, new wallpaper in one and bookshelving installed in the other, the rooms are vir­ tually completed and ready to be arranged for use. The large south room, designated as the John and Catherine Beedle memorial room, will house Putnam Library’s music and classic fiction collections. A smaller east room, mostly restored by FOL labor arid private donations, will house the library’s rare book collection. Other restored rooms on the second story are a meeting room, renovated several years ago by the Woman’s Literary Club and currently housing a collection of religious books, and the Michigan and Local History room, containing books and memorabilia on the state and area. Putnam librarian La Duska Sheldon was in Albion last Wednesday to attend a meeting of the Woodland Library Cooperative, of which the local library is a member. Headquarters of the WLC are located in an old Albion store building being renovated as permanent meeting quarters for the cooperative. Discussed at Wednesday’s meeting were grants available to public libraries under the federally funded ISCA Title I. At Wednesday’s meeting, library personnel were instructed in the proper procedure for preparing grant application forms. Presently available funds will, hopefully, help Putnam Library acquire needed reference books. There is also a possibility of additional grant funds being available to the local library in the spring. Those attending last week’s meeting were briefed on a variety of grants now available arid aided with applications for the funding. Nashville’s Main Street received a face-lifting last week as sidewalk lamp posts were painted by contractors working for Consumers Power Co. Main Street parking spots were at a premium during the operation as areas near the poles were temporarily barricaded by pylons - a good opportunity for many to use the village’s newly blacktopped behindstores parking lot. Youngsters enjoyed a holiday from school last Thursday afternoon and all day Friday to allow for parent-teacher conferences following issuance Wednesday of student report cards for the first marking period of the school year. Nashville residents will have a chance to board the KentBarry-Eaton Connecting Railroad Saturday, and inspect an engine, passenger car and caboose during the railroad’s, “open train”. The train will be making hour-long stops at six communities along its 42-mile route. Tentative arrival time in Nashville will be 3 p.m. October 27. Visiting the “open train” should be interesting for local folks, and a particular thrill for youngsters who may have never had an op­ portunity for a close-up view of a modern-day “iron horse”. Free cider and doughnuts will be served, and drawing for special prizes will be conducted at each stop along the route. The Nashville United Methodist Church begins their annual Pony Express stewardship program Sunday, Oc­ tober 28, with Joe Andrews again heading the campaign in which members of the church visit each other to receive estimates of. giving to the life and work of the church for the coming year.

Thanks to Howard E. Brumm, a Nashville native now of Charlevoix, for allowing us to share with readers his recollections-in this week’s “Memories of the Past” about early harvest times in the Nashville area. Howard worked on a threshing rig which operated throughout Castleton Township in the early 1920’s. The outfit was owned by Charles Mead, an uncle to Kenneth A. Meade, also a frequent contributor both to “Memories” and this column. Howard Brumm has been pictured in two photos used in recent articles in “Memories. ” He was shown as a young lad in a group of scholars in the Castleton Center School story, published in June, and again in August in the feature on Nashville’s Class of 1925. Howard’s father was -G... Ed Brumm, who operated a greenhouse in Nashville in the 1920’s. “I grew up in Nashville and graduated from high school there in 1925,” Howard wrote in his letter. “I left for college that fall and never really lived in Nashville after that.” However, he retains many vivid memories of this Mother-In-Law Day OCTOBER 28th Remember that special person with flowers, plants, jewelry, Christian books and records 11 Nashville FLOWERS & JEWELRY 233 N.

It is, however, of a slightly later era and shows a gasoline powered tractor instead of the early steam engine described by Howard. Speaking of photos for “Memories,” we are currently searching for scenes of Nashville’s Main Street in the mid to late 1920’s. Also needed for upcoming stories are pictures of Frank Russell, longtime Nashville village engineer, and Fred Baker, colorful local merchant. If you have these, or others to loan, please call this reporter. The photos are carefully reproduced and swiftly returned to owner.

Good-natured humor (and a 50 lb. rock) occasionally lightened the threshers work load, recalls Howard E. Brumm, a Nashville native now of Charlevoix. Memories of the pos By Susan Hinckley order; a bagger, who caught the freshly threshed grain in bags; and an operator of the blower, which blew the freshly threshed straw into a stack. Built into a shapely pile,, the straw was preserved by the farmer for bedding his livestock. In addition to these five primary positions, the crew included several “bundle pitchers” who tossed bun­ dles of grain into the hungry maw of the separator, Brumm relates. “This crew traveled with the machine, sleeping at night in the barn, and getting their meals daily at the various farm tables where they threshed,” reminisced Brumm. “Many farmer’s wife had built up a reputation, over the years, as a good place to be at meal time. Conversely, there were a few places where the crew worked hard to get away from before dinner time.” During the threshing operation, farmers supplied grain carriers who were several extra hands to tote country boys. These country the filled grain bags to their boys managed to put a 50storage place.

But the task was often enlightened with humor that has left a bountiful gleaning of happy memories behind. Howard E. Brumm, a .Nashville native now of Charlevoix, remembers harvests in the early 1920’s, when he worked as a member of a threshing machine crew operating in the Castleton Township area. “As many oldtimers recall, these threshing outfits moved from farm to farm as soon as the cut and shocked grain was dry enough to be threshed,” explained Brumm, who worked on a rig owned by Charles Mead. A primary member of a threshing crew was the engineer who ran the steam engine, source of power for the grain separator. The engineer was assisted by a “tank wagon man” who, with a team of horses, hauled water to keep the steam engine running. “It often proved to be a thirsty beast, especially in a dry summer when many roadside creeks and small ponds would dry up,” remembers Brumm. “Many times it was necessary to shut down the engine, when its water supply ran out before the tank wagon returned with a fresh sup­ ply” The balance of the threshing crew included the separator man, who kept his machine in good working Get Style! ...and feel good about YOURSELF JF Call the Professionals PERMS THAT LOOK GOOD ON YOU!

Court St., Hastings Razor S Edge hone (616) S4S-S767 HAIRDESIGNERS fall threshing episode which was not viewed by so many onlookers, but left a lasting impression. “Following the summer threshing season involving wheat) oats and other grains would finish rather early in the fall,” explains Brumm. “Then came the bean huller and the clover seed 'huller; these sometimes ran well into the fall and much colder weather.” Brumm remembers a threshing incident which happened at such a time, when it was almost too cold to sleep in the barn at night. Crews on the late fall jobs were much smaller and often only the engineer stayed overnight. He had to remain close to the steam engine to keep it fired, so the water in the boiler and connected pipes wouldn’t freeze. Since this required both a late night firing of the boiler and another early in the mor­ ning, the man tending the engine had to stay with the rig overnight. “This particular event happened at the Glen Wotring farm, five or six miles north of Nashville,” recounts Brumm. “An overnight stop was involved and Mrs. Wotring, feeling compassionate over thinking of anyone having to sleep in the barn, told her husband that since there was only one man staying overnight, he should invite the fellow to sleep in the house.” The engineer in this case was Frank Bailey who, according to Brumm, worked with the rigs year around, year after year, and was about all he knew. “Frank accepted the in­ vitation to sleep in the house rather reluctantly, as he was dirty and there wasn’t any easy way to clean up,” recalls Brumm. “He was shown to an upstairs bedroom which he found so clean it made him uneasy. Warily preparing for bed, he first pulled off his felts and boots - accepted footwear for men in cold weather. As he pulled off his felts he found they had a lot of chaff in them.” Looking around for a place to empty them, Frank found a floor register and, thinking itt was con- nected to the basement, he shook his footgear into the register. “Unfortunately, instead of leading to the basement, the floor register was just that, and happened to be located directly above Mrs. Wotring’s china closet, where she had her choicest pieces of china and crystal,” explains Brumm. “You can imagine what it must have looked like after this un­ seemly shower of dust and chaff from above.” The catastrophe (Brumm figures it was about that) wasn’t discovered until early the next morning. “When Mrs. Wotring viewed the disaster, she was ready to cry,” recalls Brumm. “But soon another feeling overcame her first reaction. By the time Frank appeared from the upper room, she served him his breakfast along with a rather strong and vehement upbraiding for his uncouth manners.” “The poor fellow retreated to. the safety of his steam engine, glad to escape the sharp tongue of his hostess and at the same time vowing to sl6ep in the barn, regardless of weather, where he was more at ease with himself,” concluded Howard Brumm. “Such was life on the farm in the 1920'8.*' Nashville Friends of the Library plan bake sale the October 16 meeting was called to order by President Ardy c e Robotham.

Wednesday October 24, 1979 — Pope 6 Imagination is key to progress, speaker tells students at Maple Valley during science conference The implementation of planning. ideas, and imagination are keys to unlocking the kind of future which will allow you to be the person you want to be, said John Watanen. Jr., professor of futuristic* at Northern Michigan University. Watanen was the keynote speaker at the unique Conference On Science Media and Games (COSMAG) Friday at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School. Attending the conference were talented and gifted children from Maple Valley as well as other schools in Eaton County. “A Search for Meaning in the Modern World-Focus on Alternatives Futures” was the topic of Watanen's ad­ dress. “Indulge in personal planning,” he told the gathering. He encouraged students to get involved and to learn by experience and be open to new ideas. “Imagination is the key to progress on our planet,” said Watanen. Reading science fiction is helpful in developing imagination which he said was “a failure of our time.” Determine what kind of Authors Lynn Abbey and Robert Asprin were among the writers who lead a discussion on the impact of Star Trek and Star Wars during the conference at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School. (Maple Valley News photos by Elaine Gilbert) person you want to be and then “work up a plan to get there.” In dealing with the future, one must have a transnational (global), perspective, he commented. One of the most important needs in the future is to develop survival skills and to decide at what level you want to survive — at the root animal level or something similar to the present standard of living. Be an optimist..have concern for ecology and humanity...and be realistic in preparing for your occupational choice...These were some of the other suggestions Watanen gave to the group. As the 1980’s unfold, there will be more changes than we’ve ever seen before. The institutions of marriage, home, church and school will be included in the changes, he said. ■ “Learn how to learn,” Watanen advised. He also stressed the need to learn computers and warned that without computer knowledge, - you’ll he an illiterate of the future. Already Mattel, a toy company, is coming out with a home computer that sells for under $500 and is capable of computing your income tax, sending out birthday notices, etc. The future is “all up to you in the analysis.” Decide where you want to be, then work to get to that point, said Watanen. teacher-sponsor of the event which also was sponsored jointly by the Eaton Intermediate Schools and the Maple Valley Schools. Students enjoyed a variety of activities throughout the day including a chance to find out “What It’s Like to be an Author” during a writer’s panel featuring Michigan authors Lloyd Biggie, Robert Asprin, Ted Reynolds, and Lynn Abbey. A writer’s workshop was conducted by Larry Lan- drum, director of the Clarion Science Fiction Writing Workshop at Michigan State University. Science fiction films, games, a book swap and sale, an art display, a trivia contest and a variety of discussion topics involving the writers’ panel were among the highlights of the day. Jim Woodruff of the Michigan Department of Commerce spoke on “Future Energy Alternatives.” Author fed Reyholds of Ann Arbor discusses one of his manuscripts with Curt Tuckey of Vermontville who was responsible for the idea of holding COSAAAG at the school. Curt wrote a number of letters to science fiction authors to invite them to attend the event. . Friday’s successful conference was the unique idea of Curt Tukey of Ver­ montville. Curt served as chairperson of the COSMAG Planning Committee and co­ ordinated efforts of all members of the student committee. Curt was in­ strumental in getting a panel of science-fiction authors to attend the gathering.

House Bill 4878, introduced by Representative Quincy Hoffman (R-Applegate), would exempt farmers from a recent law that requires a written test and $7 fee for anyone driving a vehicle with a gross weight of over 24,000 pounds. “When this law was first introduced, people thought it applied only to very large vehicles, such, as double bottom tankers,” says Robert Smith, senior legislative counsel for Michigan Farm Bureau. “But as the procedures and rules were adopted, it became obvious that it ap­ plied to anyone who drives motor vehicles of these weights. Conceivable/ a farmer would have to get endorsements for half a dozen different drivers in order to haul fertilizer from a dealer back to a-farm. Even small elevators could have a problem because they often have various people who do delivery work to local farmers.” H.B. 4878 was reported unanimously out of the House Agriculture Com­ mittee and is now on the floor of the House Agriculture Committee and is now on the floor of the House. “The department of the Secretary of State is vigorously opposing the bill,” says Smith. “We’re trying to work out an arrangement that will make the endorsement law more realistic as it applies to farmers and, at the same time, assures that people who drive heavy loads on highways will be safe operators.” NASHVILLE RESIDENTS...

The Lions entered the game with a 4-2 record while Portland came into the contest at 5-1. The win puts Portland in at least a tie for first place with a chance to win it all should Lakeview lose next Friday. The Lions drop to a tie for third with Saranac. All teams except Portland have one league game remaining. Last Friday’s game started with Maple Valley in control. The Lions stopped Portland on the 15 yard line following the kickoff, forced a bad punt, and started their first possession on the Portland 30 yard line. The Lions drove the ball to the two yard line and when Jeff Mead dropped back to pass to Stan McLintock who was all alone in the end zone, it looked like a sure 6 points. But a Portland lineman leaped up and tipped the pass and Portland in­ tercepted. Portland was able to score twice, once in the second and once in the third quarter while the Lions had two touchdowns called back. Jeff Mead scored from the 21 yard line, but ft was nullified by a penalty. Chris Beebe scored from 20 yards out when he picked off a Por­ tland fumble and raced in, but the officials ruled that the play was dead before the fumble.

The Maple Valley offense was led by Chris Beebe’s 29 yards rushing and Stan McLintock’s 42 yards in pass receptions. Although the Lions could not generate a great deal of offense on the muddy field, it could have been enough for a victory.

She sat in her lonely house day after day, Never talking, cause no one was ever there, I used to watch her once in awhile, . Whenever I had the time. Unlike her, I had people who cared, I had friends to talk to, Places to go, things to see, I used to wonder what she thought of, Did she ever have friends or anyone who cared? Or was she always alone? These questions would often pop into my mind. I would visit her once in awhile, But, always thinking of my plans and things of this world. One day I though I would go and visit her, But something came up and I put the idea aside, Oh, how selfish of me, I was too busy, but I know, tonight I’ll spend some time with her, Arriving home from school that day, I saw a police car in her drive,. Dear Lord, was it too late? I asked my mother why the police car? She told me the old lady next door had died, Alone, with no one around. I couldn’t help myself, I started to cry. Thoughts of the old woman enter my mind, I sometimes still see her in her chair By the window, just bidding her time. Then I say to myself, “I did care, but not enough.” All these questions often enter my mind, Would I leave this busy world, alond, lonely and old to die? Now the funeral is over, the lady is laid to rest, No more to be lonely, alone and sad anymore But for the rest ofus left behind, we will always wonder, Did we do our best? Please God, forgive me, for not taking a few moments Just to let these lonely people know we care and love them.

October 24, 1979 — Page 14 Road builders and state police combine to save lives The camera zooms in on a state trooper. “The 45 mileper-hour limit through road construction zones isn’t meant to save gas -- it saves lives.” Thus begins a public service announcement produced through the joint efforts of the Michigan Road Builders Association and the Michigan State Police. As part of the Operation 45 campaign, the television spot emphasizes the urgency for Michigan drivers to obey the 45 speed limit in con­ struction zones. Lawrence Martin, executive director of the Michigan Road Builders Association (MRBA), reflects the genuine alarm voiced by road workers faced with injury or death inflicted by speeders. “We were concerned that the escalating accident rate at road construction sites was a dangerous trend,” says Martin. “We decided we needed a vehicle to dramatize an appeal for drivers to heed Michigan’s three-year-old law, which was designed to protect our road workers.” When aired in the fall,- the announcement will feature a state policeman who urges the cooperation of Michigan drivers. For visual impact, the film focuses on the af­ termath of an accident: an ambulance, a jackhammer and boot left in the road, and a smashed warning barrel symbolize more dramatically than a body the vulnerability of the un­ protected worker. ‘‘Last year one road worker died because one motorist ignored the speed limit,” the tropper in the commercial continues. Says Martin, “We don’t consider even one death insignificant - that’s one death too many.” Operation 45 was launched in May to reach drivers during the peak driving season (April-October). The initial 10- and 30-second radio spots broadcast thesame message soon to be aired on television: “Slow and go 45 - please.” Radio stations around the state have responded favorably to the campaign, and the an­ nouncement is currently being run on 50 stations. The production of the television spot has brought together the time and talent of two professional per­ formers, Dan Crane, who portrays the state trooper, and Michael Carroll, who does the voice-over for the conclusion of the film; the Michigan State Police, in­ cluding the appearance of a real state trooper in the film; MRBA member Eisenhour Construction Company, which donated construction equipment and a worker for use in the production; the Emergency Medical Ser­ vice, which volunteered a paramedic team for the filming; the film crew from J&R Productions of Columbus, Ohio; and Detroit television station WDIV, which edited the film. Both Dan Crane and Michael Carroll, who can Service, and command top dollar for their Medical services, asked no payment Eisenhour Construction all donated their employees’ for their contribution to the film. WDIV also agreed to time. Even Detroit Coca­ edit the film free. The State Cola Bottling Company got Police, the Emergency into the act by furnishing Rondo soda during the filming. The State Police readily decided to lend their support not only to the televised public service an­ nouncement but also to the entire Operation 45 cam­ paign. As Paul Hill, director of PubMc Affairs for the State Police, explains, “We felt that our presence was im­ portant since we are the first line of responsibility in enforcement of the traffic law. We also know from studying statistics the number of accidents,, in­ juries, and unfortunately, Unless we start using our energy wisely right fatalities that occur in now, our children and their children may have construction zones. It is only to pay a heavy price for our thoughtlessness. So fitting, then, that we assist in let’s work together to make the most of our making the public aware of energy supply.

Then a tailor was called in to outfit Crane in an official trooper’s uniform. Every detail was attended to, right down to the insignia on the collar. Viewers will not be able to detect any dif­ ferences between the fic­ tional policeman and the genuine article. Says Hill, “We knew that a lot of police officers around the state would be watching the spot, and we wanted to be very sure that everything was authentic. If any police officers had spotted any mistakes in the film and had mentioned this to their friends and neighbors neighbors, eventually this could have resulted in a great loss of credibility for the entire project.” Dan Crane was well qualified for the role by virtue of his extensive background in radio and TV commericals and industrial films. Recently he appeared as the spokesman for Dodge Omni on national television. Save energy today for a brighter tomorrow. Let’snot blow it America! Which is the real state trooper? Trooper Dave Gonzalez (left) advises Dan Crane, a professional actor who portrays a state trooper in the production of a television spot urging motorists to observe the 45 mph speed limit in construction zones. The TV spot is the latest effort in the Operation 45 awareness campaign, combining the resources of the Michigan Road Builders Association and the Michigan State Police. Directing the action is Don Vaquera from Anthony M. Franco, Inc., the public relations firm that represents the Michigan Road Builders Association. The other professional Laurence Martin notes performer in the production, that the television spots are Michael Carroll, sports a not designed to be an long list of credits as a free­ ultimate solution to the lance announcer of national problem but should prove to prominence.

Loans on high moisture corn will be issued at the loan rate in effect for the county where the crop is stored. However, for every 1 percent that the moisture level exceeds USDA’s “dry grain faictor”, loans will be reduced 1.2 percent. The dry grain factor for corn is 15.5 percent. Drying grain with conventional fuel uses large amounts of energy. Since much of the corn stored on the farms is fed to livestock, the drying of this grain is not essential. The 1979 Corn Loan rate is $2.00 per bushel in Barry County. Farmers must have participated and compiled with the 1979 Feed Grain and Wheat Program to be eligible for these loans. road ahead may at least seem safer after these commercials are aired.

On the right is Bertha Castleberry, a KBE employee. “It’s neat!” spouted seven-year-old Marcie Ainslie as the KBE Con­ necting Railway rumbled down the track towards Vermontville. Marcie and her five-yearold brother, Mitchell, were among the dozens of youngsters who experienced their first taste of traveling by railroad Saturday. For many of the older set, it was a time for reminiscing of earlier days when railroads were king. There was George Dean who recounted his days as a former railroad engineer; others who chatted of memories of cross-country train trips; and Charles Andres whose sentiments went back to his youth and The end of the 42-mile line is Vermontville where the traveling open house came to an end. Folks lined-up in Nashville to go through the caboose and enjoy cider and donuts. the days when his father was a full-time railroad agent in Nashville. The ocassion was the KentBarry-Eaton Connecting Railway’s traveling open house on rails with Calvin Shelton, president of the nation’s first minorityowned and operated railway, and his wife, Jean Mitchell Shelton, general agent for the system, and other of­ ficials extending their hospitality to the com­ munities along the 42-mile line. For the event, KBE, a freight line which normally carries grain and lumber and other assorted goods, rented a caboose from Conrail and offered the public a chance to tour the car and its No. 6 engine. Many also climbed aboard for a free train ride along the route from Grand Rapids to Vermontville and a few gave the tug to blow the whistle. The caboose was packed like a can of sardines during the trek from Nashville to Vermontville. Kids were piled high in the upper berth, smiling and laughing and holding onto the younger ones. The ride was a slow 8 mph, but the enthusiasm was high and the scenic sights delightful. Andrus, Nashville Chamber of Commerce President and member of the Railway Advisory Com­ mittee, said he was ex­ tremely pleased with the large throng of people were on hand in Nashville for the train’s afternoon arrival. “I was happy to see Nash­ ville people turn out the way they did. A lot of people were talking about the railraod and participating by ex­ pressing their opinions and attending — this is a good indication of the interest that the railroad is generating. It was such a positive attitute, ” he said. It also was a sentimental journey of sorts. “My father was an agent for the railroad in Nashville ...and when I was walking down the brick sidewalk by the old depot with my four-year-old boys (Saturday), I started thinking that I was about the same age as they are when I use to walk down that same brick sidewalk to see my father. It left me with a touch of sentiment in my heart.” On the business side of the fence, Andrus feels the railroad will “help stimulate economics in Barry County. “Manufacturers will have a viable alternative for the shipping of goods,” he commented. More photos on page 8 — Mitchell Ainslie points excitedly as he enjoys the view from a window in the caboose. He and his sister Marcie had their first taste of train travel during the KBE's traveling open house Saturday. Marsha Ainslie accompanied the youngsters. The rails and ties have undergone much repair on the scenic route between Nashville and Vermontville. By next summer, KBE hopes to bring the route up to class A which will mean the freight train will be able to increase its speed of travel to 25-30 mph. �The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Wednesday.

Watch out for die little ones and make it a safe and happy Halloween for the youngsters. Plans are underway for a Chamber of Commercesponsored Christmas parade Saturday forenoon, December 8. Chamber president, Charles Andrus, Jr., and a special parade committee comprised of organization members, are currently making arrangements for the event which will be highlighted with the arrival of Santa in Nashville. Nashville’s Main Street received an attractive addition last week with the installation of a storefront sign on the newly-renovated Thornapple General Store. The building, which local old timers remember as the original Barker’s Bakery, was recently restored and stocked with a variety of old-fashioned goodies by Hastings attorney, Dave Dimmers, and his wife, Caroline, and draws a steady flow of browsers and buyers. An 1827 Bible, published in England and handed down through several generations of his family, recently came into the possession of Lyle French of Nashville. The leatherleather­ bound Holy Bode, in good condition considering its age, was presented to Lyle by a 76-year-old cousin now living in Battle Creek. Since she has no children of her own, she gave the Bible to Lyle to assure that it would continue to pass down in the French family.

Vico Spidel of Nashville was transported to Pennock Hospital late last Wednesday evening after suffering a heart attack at home. At this writing, he was still in the intensive care unit at the hospital. Returning .m aa 10-day trip Returning last last week week fro from 10-day trip to to Switzerland Switzerland was was Mrs. Clayton Newland of Nashville. She was accompanied on the journey by her brothers and their wives: Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Stauffer of Hastings and Mr. and Mrs. Em­ merson Stauffer of Alto. Departing from Chicago, . they landed at Zurich and stayed at Interlaken. They also visited Berne where they had no success in an attempt to locate information on ancestors or relatives still living in that area. On a bus tour, the group enjoyed seeing Lake Geneva and some beautiful mountainous regions of the country. Mrs. Newland was impressed with the multitude of beautiful flowers and the still-green grass. Temperatures were in the 50’s and 60-degree range during their stay; they had mostly sunny weather with a couple days of rain. Mrs. Sena French was able to shed some light on the mysterious box of possessions, apparently those of a 12year-old boy, found recently at Putnam Library during an attic insulation project. She believes they belonged to Frank Smith, a relative of the Putnams who lived with them. He died at an early age, probably in his late teens, as she recalls. Sena’s mother, the late Mrs. Anna Gribben, was a close friend of Mrs. Charles Putnam, who was the former Agnes Smith. Mrs. Mildred Bursley of Nashville enjoyed a recent visit from friends, Marie Fulton and Frank Stevens of Lansing, and had dinner with them at the Mid-Villa near Middleville. Guests this past weekend of Mrs, Bursley were her niece and family, Mr. and Mrs. Rudy Smith of Madison Heights and ttheir daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Warner Ippsi of Detroit. All enjoyed Sunday dinner at the Mid-Villa. Mrs. Verna Frederick ofNashville joined her brothers and sisters for a recent weekend family gathering at Horseshoe Lake. She accompanied her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Don Hale of Charlotte, on the trip north. Others present for the occasion were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Wonser of Charlotte; Mr. and Mrs. Pearl Wonser of Mecosta; and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Smith of Delton. All enjoyed Saturday evening dinner together at Maxfield’s Restaurant at Wyman, Michigan. Several Nashville folks escaped to the mid-south and warmer clime shortly after our wintery blast arrived last week. Heading for Washington, D.C. Wednesday afternoon were Anne and Jerry Kent, accompanied by Phyllis and George Frith. They expected to tour the sights there. Leaving Friday for a weekend of entertainment at Opryland in Nashville, Tennessee were five Nashville couples: June and Larry Decker, Lois and Dick Elliston, Janet and Duane Gardner, Joan and Larry Elliston, and Betty and Walt Blakely. The group was to make the trip south in the .Blakely’s motor home. Scott Edward, 13-year-old grandson of Mrs. Edna Ed­ wards of Nashville, recently earned $69 for the Hastings area United Fund by pedaling his bicycle the 24-mile round trip from his home in Hastings to his grandmother’s in Nashville. Mrs. Edwards reports that Scott made the trip after school Thursday, in the rain. His journey was part of a bike-a-thon effort by Hastings youths to raise funds for the United Way campaign. Another segment of the program was a rock-a-thon conducted in Hastings. Participating kids , were paid by sponsors a pledged amount for miles pedaled on a bike, or hours logged in a rocking chair. Scott is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas (Nola) Edwards of Hastings. Mrs. Faye Salyers of Nashville and Mrs. Jeanette Joseph, of Carl’s Market, flew to Appleton, Wisconsin last week to receive several days training relative to operation of a new bakery being opened in Carl’s store in Nashville. Some turbulance was experienced in their flight from Battle Creek to Wisconsin, Faye’s husband, Sandy, reports. The ladies were expected to return to Nashville Friday. Mrs. Amy Putnam of Nashville was in Muskegon last Tuesday to attend the annual meeting of the United Methodist Women of the Western Michigan Conference of the church. Mrs. Putnam went to Muskegon Monday evening for the all-day Tuesday conference. Following the meeting, she was joined at Grand Rapids by her husband, Rev. Leonard Putnam, for a trip to Holland to visit Amy’s father who underwent surgery there Tuesday. Mrs. Velva Bitgood of Nashville drew attention to an erroneous date in the recent “Memories” dealing with the local option issue. Pictured was a pool room owned by Charles Scheidt which we had said was razed in 1957 to construct the present-day Fargo Service Station. Mrs. Bitgood said she believed the year was 1959 (her husband, Bill, operated the station then). In checking our newspaper file, we find she is correct. The November 5,1959 issue of the Nashville News announced the grand opening of the new station, and alongside a photo of the new facility was pic­ tured the earlier structure it had replaced. Incidentally, that early building was, after the Scheidt era, commonly known as Mary White’s restaurant. Mrs. Lawrence Jarrard of Nashville recently suggested that a “Memories” on the late Mary White, a dear lady and well-remembered cook, would be of interest to many readers. We are hoping to locate a photo of Mrs. White for the stoiy. The article on Charles Scheidt brought back memories for Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin. As related in the story, Scheidt began selling lightening rods on the side when the 1908 local option law forced him and 18 other Barry County saloons to close. Meade remembers Scheidt, as he sold lightening rods to Meade’s grandmother for the family’s house and barn on Eaton Road. The rods are still in use on the buildings, now the Meade Centennial Farm. Kenneth A. Meade also had an unusual memory to share about local option, though he was just a lad at the time. He wrote: “When I was about 8 years old, my Dad took me into a saloon in Vermontville. He said he wanted to let me see a saloon because they were about to disappear and .when I grew up they would be a thing of the past. Then came (national) prohibition and what followed. ” Kenneth A. Meade also took time to share several thoughts on other recent “Memories” topics. About the Farmers’ Cooperative Creamery, he recalled the excellent qualify of their butter and that his grandmother Hannah y (Blaisdell) Robinson used to buy buttermilk there to make pancakes and biscuits. “I remember buttermilk always had little lumps ofbutter in it,” hereminisced. “It was delicious. You can’t find that kind today,” he concluded. About the 1908 photo depicting several business places on Nashville’s Main Street, Mr. Meade had especially fond memories to relate about one spot.

Now a chemical engineer with the Bayer Company, the German-based parent organization of the manufacturers of Bayer Aspirin, Bernd was ac­ companied on his recent visit by his wife, who is a registered pharmacist. The Riberis flew to New York, then rented a car to tour the east coast, Washington, D.C., the Smokey Mountains and Florida, before coming to Michigan. White here they were feted at a Sunday open house hosted by Mrs. Keihl, who with her late husband Gate Keihl, were Bernd’s hosts during his year of schooling in Nashville. As he ex­ pressed a desire to see a large shopping center, Mrs. Keihl took the Riberis to the Lansing Mall where Bernd snapped many photos. Although we think our prices are high, the Riberis thought American prices were very reasonable compared to similar goods in Germany. They cited the costs of shoes, clothing and autos as being considerably higher in Germany than here. �The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Wednesday.

MV FFA welcomes greenhands and chapter farmers On Tuesday, October 16, the Maple Valley FFA had formal cermonies for Greenhands (first year members) and Chapter Farmers (second year members). The Greenhands which joined the FFA are Russell Angus, Robert Brandon, Jeff Burger, Brian Carpenter, Dennis Gardner, Dan Keech, Ron McBrayer, Jay Puffpaff, Mark Rushford, Scott Spillane, Gerald Strodtbeck, Wes Wood, Ernie Wright, and Rmy Youngs. They each Help make it a safe Halloween for children Parents can make Halloween safer with a few simple costume decorating tricks, says the president of the Michigan Optometric Association. According to Dr. Owen R. Dueweke, Halloween accidents are most likely to happen when drivers can’t see children in the street and when children can’t see where they are walking. The first can be solved by decorating costumes with retro-reflective material. The second can be overcome by using makeup instead of masks to „ disguise young trick-or-treaters. Dr. Dueweke cited op­ tometric studies at Indiana University showing that retro-reflective material on shoes and clothing makes pedestrians safely visible to drivers even at excessive speeds of 70 and 80 m.p.h. Nothing else, not even white clothing, can top it. Retroreflective material is available in iron-on, sewon and stick-on varieties in most hardware and department stores. ■ “Let the kids make up their own designs with the material,” Dr. Dueweke said. “Just be sure they will be visible from front, back and side.” Large Selection of Colors & Sizes in... received a certificate and a bronze pin. The Chapter Farmers who are in the FFA for their second year are Glenn Arras, Kyle Beals, Leslie Briggs, Brad Coffman, Gary Gorman, Scott Halsey, Jeff Horn, Kim Hosey, Lewis Mapes, John Mater, John Pomeroy, Mark Siple, and Tim Tobias. They each received a certificate and a silver pin. Congratulations to these people! We hope that they have a good year in the FFA. . SLIMLINE BUTTONS He advises against masks because they can slip out of place or have eye holes so small they block a child’s view of approaching cars, objects on the ground, a hole, a step or the curb. “It doesn’t make sense to give your child good vision with regular vision examinations and then send him out after dark with that vision paritally blocked.” In using makeup, however, he cautioned that it “should be of the non-allergic variety. Be sure it is applied with care by adults to avoid accidents with applicators.” Dr. Dueweke also suggested that children carry a flashlight or batteryoperated lantern to help light their way. Fox-Brott exchange vows at MSU Lizabeth Fox, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Fox of Vermontville, and Thomas Brott, son of Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Brott of Muskegon, were married September 8 at the MSU Alumni Chapel in East Lansing in the presence of 150 guests.

Harvest time is upon us, as evidenced by the extreme amount of grain and bean trucks passing by day and night. Now, if the market will hold, the farmer might come out somewhere even, or at least a few dollars to the good.

Hoping this Halloween is a safe and sane one I’m for parents accompanying the little ones. Anyone larger than a 6th grader is too old to trick-or-treat.

Through the Lions never took the lead, they trailed only 46-42 at the end of a 20 point third quarter. But in the closing minutes the Wildcats were able to get more than one shot at the basket and Lion fouls sent the home team to the charity stripe.

Tuesday Aspinall led MV scorers with 17 points and Diane Cook with 11.

So was the baby food which caused many deaths of babies and was just now found to be the cause of death and many ailments, some permanent, but was just taken off the market.

In the area of operation and maintenance, general roof repair work was ap­ proved at Fuller St. Elementary, Maplewood Elementary, and the storage building in Vermontville at a total cost of $5,825. The tile in the back hall at Maplewood Elementary has been replaced at a cost of $3,050. The ceiling in the boys locker room at the Jr-Sr. High School has been repaired at a cost of $2,821.

Other possessions belonging to the young boy which are now antiques include an old baseball, wooden chess set, clamp-on iron ice skates, and an old bottle (all shown in the photo). Additional information concerning the discovery is included at the beginning of this week's Nashville News column by Su.san Hinckley.

Nashville, Wednesday, November?, 1979—Page 2 Nashville News A cache of prized possessions of a young lad of long ago, recently uncovered during an attic insulation project at Putnam library, has been carefully cleaned and cataloged by the library staff. The treasures are now on display there, housed under a protective glass case. Probably the most unique item in the collection is a “magic lantern,” an earlyday version of a slide projector. Illuminated by kerosene lamp power, the contraption was used to cast images through negative glass transparencies, also in the display. The original owner of the “goodies” is thought to have been Frank Smith, a young relative of the Charles Putnams who lived with them before willing their home to the village for use as a library. Careful scrutiny of the cache indicates that young Frank had an overwhelming interest in journalism. Among his possessions are mementos from Len Feighner’s Nashville News office, plus a lettering kit and a child’s handwritten version of a newspaper dubbed “The Journal”. The penciled pages show comprehensive coverage in the news creation, including locals, an exchange column, business directory, lost and found items, auction listing, marriage licenses issued, and even subscription rates. Some well-known community names appear in the imaginary, and often humorous, stories. Among other treasures in Frank’s collection were clamp-on iron ice skates, an old baseball, two treble fish hooks, a stamp collection, miniature wooden dominos, an old harmonica, a wooden chess set, clay marbles, a collection of tiny “May baskets”, plus smaller items too numerous to mention. Correspondence stashed in colorfully decorated cigar boxes is still being reviewed by the library staff. Librarian La Duska Sheldon is seeking help in securing information on Frank’s young friends - Hugh Furniss, Leslie Flint, and “Bill Martin” (listed as editor of The Journal, but may be fictional). Postcards in the cache in­ dicate that young Leslie was a “journal agent” (newspaper carrier) for a Detroit paper. Young Frank, who died in his late teens according to reliable resources, was also a carrier at one time. Mrs. Sheldon hopes that further research of the correspondence (most postmarked in the 1890’s) will reveal additional background on the young lad and his pals. One significant letter noted was a handwritten message from Charles M. Putnam to Frank, inquiring if the young man was satisfied with the operation ofhis new air rifle. (Putnam was apparently traveling at the time). Best information indicates that Frank was a nephew to Mrs. Putnam, the former Agnes Smith and an early Nashville schoolteacher.

Exceptionally pleasant October weather brought a gqod turnout of trick-or-treating goblins on Halloween night. Fred Ackett kept a tally at his home on Reed Street, and reports 133 callers there. A rather large group of teen-agers congregated in the downtown area, near Central Park, in the evening hours but the major problem seemed to be the soaping of store and car windows and the litter of paper and pumpkin debris. The Nashville Fire Dept, stood by at the fire barn several hours Wednesday night, in case of prankster fires. They were called to extinguish a small blaze on Mason Road bridge, east of the high school, and another on the new parking area behind the Main Street stores, where a bail of straw had been ignited. Both fires proved to be of a minor nature. Mrs. Margaret Sackett of Nashville returned home last week after a 10-day visit with her son, Harry Fowler, at Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Harry is a former Nashville boy, and 1955 NHS graduate. He is now engaged in display work for Marshall-Fields. Mrs. Sackett was driven to Wisconsin by her niece, Mrs. Don Randolph of Lansing. She returned home by air. Tuesday afternoon callers on Mrs. Nellie Moon of Nash­ ville were Mrs. Edith Jones and Mrs. Weda Roberts, both of Nashville. Sunday visitors of Mrs. Theresa Hess were her grand­ daughter and husband, Judy and Gary Rodocker of Kalamazoo, and also Mrs. Norabelle McKenzie of Lansing. In January 1877 George W. Carr of New Haven in Macomb County, Michigan mailed a letter to his sister, Annie Krider, who lived at Maple Grove Center. In the missive he wrote of his new wife, Lizzie, and enclosed a small sample of material from the bride’s wedding gown. Stamped with three cents postage, the envelope also contained a two-cent stamp. The letter was recently discovered by Ronald Lea of Bellevue as he was remodeling a home near Assyria. He is a son-in-law to Mr. and Mrs. Darrell (Marilyn) Clements of rural Nashville. After examining his find, Lea passed it on to his mother-in-law. She now hopes to make contact with any relatives of George Carr or Annie Krider that may still be living in this area. Anyone who knows of this family may call Mrs. Clements at 852-0992. Other news of a more current nature from the Clements household is the October 17th arrival of a granddaughter, RoseAnn June Lea. She was born at Hayes-Green-Beach Hospital in Charlotte to Mr. and Mrs. Ronald J. (Rosa) Lea of Bellevue. The 7 lb. I'/z oz. baby is welcomed home by a sister, Jessica Sue, and a multitude of proud grandparents. Maternal grandparents are Darrell and Marilyn Clements of rural Nashville. In addition, the new arrival has two sets of maternal great-grandparents: Mr. and Mrs. Paul Clements of Charlotte and Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Tyler of Vermontville, plus a maternal great-great-grandmother, Mrs. Mabie Miller of Big Rapids. On the paternal side, the baby has grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Ronald W. Lea of Bellevue, and three great-grandparents: Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Smith, also of Bellevue, and Mrs. Helen Lea of Charlotte. Mrs. Lawrence (Bessie) Friddle of Maple Grove Town­ ship returned last week from a two-weeks stay at Mt. Pleasant where she visited relatives. She was accompanied on the trip by her mother, Mrs. Maude McNutt of Sturgis. Callers on Rev. and Mrs. E. F.

Mrs. Ednah McConnell, a former Nashville resident now of Battle Creek and a sister of Mrs. Viola Beystrum of Nash- ville, has been quite ill for the past two weeks, but is now improved. Mrs. Beystrum reports that Ednah very much enjoyed receiving a get-well card from her friends at the Nashville Nutrition Site, where she is an occasional visitor when in town to see her sister. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence (Margaret) Reid of Nashville were in Battle Creek last Wednesday to call on his sister and brother-in-law, Ethel and Frank Shaver, and also his brother and sister-in-law, Charles and Ruth Reid. Mrs. John (Marge) Hartwell of rural Nashville is recovering well at home following recent hospitalization at Pennock to straighten her knee, which had stiffened following a serious fracture sustained in an accident this past summer. She had spent several weeks in traction after the mishap, and had had a pin inserted in the leg. Mrs. Clyde Benton of Nashville was taken to Pennock Hospital by Nashville ambulance last Wednesday morning after being rescued from the Thornapple River. Cries for help were heard by Mrs. James Jarman who lives near the river. She notified Don Langham, a nearby neighbor, who immediately took his boat out to investigate. He located Mrs. Benton near the end of the State Street riverbank, and pulled her from the water. Meantime, Mrs. Jarman had notified authorities and the Nashville ambulance, fire truck and boat had been brought to the scene, and were on hand when Langham brought Mrs. Benton ashore. She was then transported to Hastings by the local ambulance. The Golden Agers of Nashville United Methodist Church will meet for a noon potluck lunch in the Community House on Friday, November 9.

An old-fashioned aroma, reminiscent of “Granny’s” kitchen, greets shoppers at the entrance to Carl’s Market now. As soon as one crosses the portal, the tempting scent leads one to the northwest comer of the store to discover a bountiful array of fresh-baked goods. Breads, rolls, pies, cookies and donuts are among the wide assortment which boggles the mind as shoppers try to decide on a favorite choice or “one of each.” Wednesday marked the first day of the bakery’s operation. While much of Nashville is still sleeping, cheifbakers Faye Salyers and Jeanette Joseph are turning out the first batches in a huge quantity of delicious, daily goodies.

Mead, a brother to Mrs. Clarence (Bunny) Shaw of Nashville , was born and raised in the Barryville area, and is a former pastor of the Methodist Church there. He and his Wife will be remembered by many local folks. They had been living in retirement in Florida, until ill health forced their recent return to Michigan to enter the BCMCF. Five Nashville couples who spent last weekend visiting Opryland at Nashville, Tennessee found a “full house” for the final performance of thq season at the Grand Ole Opry Saturday night, and were unable to obtain tickets for the show. Even the “standing room” space had been sold out. However, the local folks did enjoy a day touring the en­ tertainment park at Opryland. They were: June and Larry Decker, Joan and Larry Elliston, Lois and Dick Elliston, Janet and Duane Gardner, and Betty and Walt Blakely. The trip south was made in the Blakely’s motor home. Pastor Don Roscoe of Nashville will participate in a 10,000 meter “Turkey Trot” at Middleville on Saturday, November 24th. He was to have entered a Marathon Run at Grand Valley State College Saturday, November 3, but was tem­ porarily sidelined by order of his physician after sustaining an injury to a tendon in his foot recently.

Mrs. Marie Cluckey of rural Nashville was admitted to Hayes-Green-Beach Hospital in Charlotte last Tuesday, due to a diabetic condition. There has been a change announced in the upcoming meeting of the United Methodist Women set for 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, November 7.

Condolences to the family of Ray Pennock who passed away last Wednesday evening at his home in Nashville. His wife, Marie, proceeded him in death just three months ago. The Pennocks owned and operated the forrter Blue Inn Cafe on Main Street, during the 1940’s. Later, during the 1950’s, Ray served as Nashville’s Village Marshal.

Wednesdays November 7. 1979 — Page 3 Lydia Burchett of Dowling won a gold plush upholstered sewing rocker for bringing eight visitors to the final Sunday of Hillbilly Month at the Nashville Baptist Church, October 28. In a “Hatfield-McCoy feud” with the Lake Center Bible Church at Portage, the local church topped their opponent by busting all previous Sunday School attendance records at Nashville Baptist Church. In the month of October, they had a total Sunday School attendance of 3,875, averaging 969 per week. There were 962 persons in Sunday School at the local church when the tinal count was made October 28. As a result of their victory, members of the local congregation were to be treated to free car washes by members of the Portage church, during a 3-hour work session here Satur­ day. In addition, the staff of the local church was to be treated to dinner by the staff of the Portage church. As a final prank, the old-fashioned outhouse that had temporarily adorned the lawn of the local church on Phillips Street was delivered by dark of night to the Portage church. The public is invited to attend a film, “A Distant Thun­ der,” depicting the tribulation period at the end of the world, to be shown at the Nashville Baptist Church at 7 p.m. Sunday services, November 25. Seventeen members of the local Girl Scout Troop No. 221, under the direction of leader Mrs. Kathy Brzycki^ par­ ticipated in the recent unveiling ceremony of a new trefoil and identification at the office and training center for the Glowing Embers Girl Scout Council in Kalamazoo. The building insignia was made possible through a bequest from the late Mrs. Walter (Helen) Temple, Commissioner of the Kalamazoo Girl Scout Council from 1940-43. The center serves girl scouts in four counties: Allegan, Barry, Calhoun and Kalamazoo. Mrs. Mary Brown, state representative from Kalamazoo area, was guest speaker at the October 25th event at which the Nashville Girl Scouts served as color guard, conducting both the opening and closing flag ceremony. In addition, three of the local girls recited the Girl Scoqt Promise then, individually, gave brief personal expressions of what scouting means to them. The Glowing Embers Girl Scout Council building is located at 1011 West Maple Street in Kalamazoo.

This strange procession wended its way into Nashville, terminating at the Pennock’s Francis Street home where the team was stabled in a barn. Now it was time to bring “Kaiser Bill” on the scene. “I tied a knot in Walter’s tail to hitch a rope around the dummy, continued Adams. “We wanted to tie Am impromptu parade, staged the day an armistice ended the first World the rope around the Kaiser’s War, saw "Kaiser Bill," Germany's deposed monarch, dragged in effigy down neck but it kept pulling his Nashville's Main Street.

There, I turned around to head south again but lost him along the way.” Local youngsters seized the opportunity to stomp and kick the dummy. Some “shot” him with toy guns. While the real “Kaiser Bill” continued to live in comfortable exile for the next 20 years, Nashville’s version of the German leader did not fare so well. “When the kids were done with him, they took him to the Thornapple River and threw him in,” concluded Adams. “They drowned Kaiser Bill.” Nashville News continued— Departments dispatched units to backup the local police department in quelling a reported disturbance at a local bar. Nashville was saddened to learn of the death Friday of two members of the community, and one former village resident. Mrs. Willard (Goldie) Helsel of Reed Street died shortly after admittance to Pennock Hospital. She had been ill three weeks. Goldie and her first husband, the late Watkin Nicholas, owned and operated the former Nicholas Ap­ pliance store in Nashville, moving here from Detroit in 1949. She continued to operate the business after his death in 1962, until her marriage to Willard Helsel in 1973. Also passing away Friday was Orla Belson of Sherman St., a lifelong area resident and former Maple Grove Township farmer. He was a patient at Barry County Medical Care Facility, following recent confinement at Pennock Hospital. He was married in 1909 to the former Percie Marshall. She died in 1953. His second wife, Bertine Deller, died in 1967. Richard Graham, 29, a former Nashville resident, died Friday at his home in Delton following a lengthy illness. He was the son of the late Seth and Rachel Graham of Nash­ ville, and was married in 1970 to the former Vickie Lundstrum of Nashville.

Harold Willits of Nashville is the owner of many teams of horses at his home on Sherman St. Harold’s herd of horses pull covered wagons, buggies, old-fashioned cutters, stage coaches, race carts, loads of logs and more. But, Harold doesn’t have to feed his crew or have a barn for his horses because his animals are part of his world of miniature replicas of horse drawn vehicles of all types which he creates from scratch and from kits. The hobby brings him an endless amount of pleasure because he has always had a love for horses. Many years back, he broke horses and drove teams himself. “I enjoy working with horses. I’ve broken a lot of them. “Horses are just like kids. The quieter you handle them, the easier they are to handle,” said Harold. But there’s something more than pleasure that keeps Harold busy con­ structing a vehicle from the past. Engrained in his hobby is a desire to preserve an important part of history when horse drawn vehicles comprised the mode of transportation on the farm and in the city. Through his hobby, he wants kids of the present and future to be able to see what transportation was all about before the dawn of the horseless carriage. In constructing various vehicles, he tries to make all the various components as authentic as possible. “I don’t make anything that won’t work,” says Harold. What is especially unique about the horses that he buys to pull the rigs are the tiny but complex harnesses and bridles that he makes for the horses. All are authentic and are workable. The various straps are detachable with small “hooks and eyes.” Since the first feature story on Harold appeared in the Maple Valley News, the retired Lapeer County Road Commission employee has added many new miniatures to his collections. A current project is a horse drawn hearse which has consumed over 50 hours of Harold’s time already. He still finds time to enjoy “tinkering around on the farm ” too. ij*L ij*L '< *j « ■ ••l»Z •* •J l»Z at2SS>><S' s< >SS S fell's >ssS e £:» iisA isA 1,Si 1 mJ ‘ZS* .S Si * ire,kS , kS IS **'W * 1 Sis is sfefcd Harold Willits latest project is making a horse drawn hearse. All the various parts are "working" including the. spring work which is authentic. Plans call for a team of white Arabians to pull the black hearse. (Maple Valley News photos) “One of Willits favorites is the team of Belgian horses pulling a covered wagon. They are a team of stallions so I put a jockey stick' between them so they won't fight, just like you would do if they were real,” he says. Horses are just like kids. The quieter you handle them the easier they are to handle.

Nashville, Wednesday. November 7, 1979 — Page 8 MAPLE VALLEY SCHOOLS ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT Board of Education Maple Valley Schools Nashville-Vermontville, BUILDING AND SITE FUND TOTAL EXPENDITURES, OUTGOING TRANSFERS & OTHER TRANSACTIONS Gentlemen: We have examined the balance sheets of the various funds of the Maple Valley Schools, Nashville-Vermontville, Michigan as of June 30, 1979 and the related statements of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balance for the year then ended. Our examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards prescribed for Michigan school districts and accordingly included such checks of the accounting records and other auditing procedures we considered necessary in the circumstances. In harmony with the requirements of the State of Michigan, the School District has capitalized and amortized school bus costs. This practice, in our opinion, is not in accordance with generally accepted fund accounting principles. In our opinion, except for the treatment of bus costs referred to in the preceding paragraph, the financial statements presented herewith show fairly the financial position of the various funds of the Maple Valley Schools, Nashville-Vermont­ ville, Michigan at June 30, 1979, and the operating results for the year then ended in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with the preceding year.

The number of full time equated classroom teachers was ninety four (94) during the 1978-79 school year. The ratio of pupils to certified employees holding valid Michigan teacher certificates was 19.2 to 1. Certified employees includes school administrators. The financial information is taken from the school annual financial report and'the audit report filed with the State Department of Education. Copies of the annual report and school audit are available at the school administration office if anyone wishes to see one. There were thirty-nine, separate accounts held in the trust and agency fund at the close of the school year amounting to $23,620.82. General receipts during the year amounted to $75,519.12 compared with expenditures of $71,631.31. The school district ended the school year June 30, 1979 in good financial condition with a cash balance of $417,932 including the petty cash fund. During the past school year the amount of taxes receivable decreased from $8,479 to $4,494. General indications are tthat the cash balance will be reduced during the 1979-80 school year considering the lower percentage increase in state aid support as related to increased expenditures. It will be necessary to closely review the financial condition of the school district in the spring when making plans for the coming school year. Festival of Missions at Baptist Church First Baptist Church, 309 E. Woodlawn Avenue, Hastings, announces its “Festival of Missions”, to be held November 10-18. A “Kick-off Dinner” to get acquainted with the missionaries, will be held on Saturday, November 10, 6:15 P.M., at the church’s fellowship hall. Special speakers during the conference will be Rev. and Mrs. Wesley Carlson, missionaries to Africa, Rev. Arthur Cunningham, executive director of Hiawatha Baptist Missions and his wife, and Dr. DonaldVeldt, dean of the Grand Rapids Baptist College. The conference format will feature a Bible Study and brunch Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 10:30 a.m. and interaction groups nightly, Monday through Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at the church. Added features will include a ladies tea on Tuesday, November 13, 10:30 a.m. and a men’s dinner on Friday, November 16, 6:30 p.m. The teens will enjoy an “African Safari” on Saturday, November 17, 12:30 p.m. The atmosphere is in­ formal and the public is cordially invited to attend first Baptist’s “Festival of Missions.” Free nursery care is available. Phone 945-9554 for Want-Ads ELECTION DAY - Elections for municipal officers and other issueswill be held throughout Michigan this Tuesday, although not in all cities. Local government is that which most often has a direct effect on your life - so do your duty and VOTE! TEACHER STRIKES - New before the House is HB 4645, which gives public employees other than police, firemen and state civil service the right to strike. Vigorous floor debate is expected on whether or not to include binding arbitration in this. PUBLIC SALARIES - Lt. Gov. Brickley has signed into law SB 504, which requires that the salaries of employees and officials of Michigan public schools, colleges and universities be a matter of public record, provided on request to any citizen. CREDIT CARDS - The House will soon be voting on HB 4737, which prohibits the practice of denying a credit card to someone solely or primarily because of the location of that person’s home-address. However, the bill applies only to store or business credit cards and not to bank credit cards like Visa or Mastercharge. This is another “anti-redlining” proposal. TRAVEL REGULATION - A house vote is scheduled this week on HB 4523, which Would establish a licensing and regulation procedure for “sellers of travel” in Michigan; this would effectively mean retail travel agents. It requires disclosure notices in travel sales; sets up a reconciliation procedure for complaints; and permits court action and fines againsjt an agent. SUNSET SUPPORT - Common Cause, the non-partisan “citizens’ lobby,” has announced its support for amend­ ments to SB 75 which would set specific termination dates for state agencies and-or programs. SB 75 now provides for a 10-year review process, but adding termination dates would place the burden of proof on an agency or program and require it to justify its existence. TAX REFUNDS - A new law with a delayed effect is HB 4714, which requires that a separate check be issued for property tax rebates. However, it does not take effect until next year, so the 1979-tax-year refunds will still include property and income tax refunds in the same check. FISH WAR - The Attorney General is appealing a court ruling against enforcement of state fishing regulations on Grand Traverse Bay Indians. He argues that the Grand Traverse Indians are not exempted through treaties of 1836 and 1855, as are other tribes of Indians elsewhere. EGG SLUMP - Egg and chick production is down this year in Michigan. The September crop of 122 million eggs is 2 percent below last year; the average rate of lay is 3 percent below last year. Also, only 320,000 eggs were hatched in September, 52 percent less than for 1978. Part-Time CUSTODIAL HELP APPLY..... Immunize now!

Wednesday. November 7, 1979 — Page 11 Goodies fresh from the oven...at Carl's Market A wonderful world of smells — freshly baked breads and other goods — seem to have as much punch as the legendary Pied Piper of Hamlin when it comes to attracting customers over to the northwest corner of Carl’s Market these days. The new bakery depart­ ment is what is causing all the fuss and it seems to be a welcome addition to the store. A batch of 180 loaves of white bread baked on Thursday disappeared like hot cakes that day, reports Faye Salyers. Faye and Jeanette Joseph are the chief bakers in the venture at the Nashville grocery store. They recently attended a week-long session of classes at Rich’s Bake-Off in Appleton, Wisconsin to learn all the latest and most delicous techniques in the baking business. Faye says the bakery uses Rich’s flour and ingredients. Donuts, cookies and breads may be purchased while they are still hot, if customers make their purchases in the morning when the goodies are just being brought out of the ovens. The baking starts at 6 a.m. on business days and the ladies, using brand new stainless steel equipment, turn out a fabulous array of baked goods each day\ Besides the breads (white,rye, wheat grain, etc.), cookies, and donuts, there are coffeecakes, chocolate long-johns, cinnamon rolls, a variety of pies, and cakes. Rolls sometimes onioh ones or hoagies are sometimes on the bakery menu too. The bakeiy also invites special orders to help you make th^t birthday party, shower, or other occasion extra special. Every day now at Carl's Market in Nashville, Chief Bakers Faye Salyers and Jeanette Joseph harvest an arra_y of fresh baked goodies in the new bakery corner at the store. Shown with a sampling of the goodies which range from pies to breads are the bakery staff Ada Yaudes, Lou Hansbarger, Jeanette Joseph, Cathy Haag and Faye Salyers. Take “Time out for arts Yummy is the only way to describe the delicious goodies at Carl's as Kelly Eastman takes a big bite into a cookie.

Wednesday, November?, 1979 — Page 12 We’ve got plenty of grains! By John E. Gergen Extension Agriculture Agent In a phrase, we’ve got plenty of grains! The question is, how close to reality will be the development of the expected utilization? Dr. George K. Dike, Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service agricultural economist, has a run-down on expectations. Corn It now appears that another record corn crop is in the making; the crop, is estimated at 7.39 billion bushels. Equally surprising is the carryover from last year’s supply now estimated to be well over a billion bushels. The same carryover is expected next year. An interesting adjustment in the USDA balance sheet is the 35 million bushel increases in carryout from the 1978 crop. It seems our ex­ port target was not reached. So our total supply to work with in the October 1979September 1980 corn marketing year is now projected to be 8.66 billion bushels. Can this volume be distributed throughout world domestic and utilization channels without offering discouraging low prices to producers? Well, in the first place, Uncle Sam does have a farmer-owned reserve and a modest holding of government-owned corn. These categories totaled two-thirds of a billion bushels according to the latest available figures. As reported earlier, the trigger price was reached and farmer-owned reserves can go into free market channels, but it is not at all clear what course of action farmers will follow with these holdings. Domestic feed use is ex­ pected to increase by 50 million to 300 million bushels over last year/To harden up prices to show only gradual these estimates one needs to improvement from harvest watch the actions of hog levels until reports about producers (when will the Brazil and Argentina crops prospect of red ink cause begin arriving. them to quit expanding?); poultry producers (same Wheat The big story on wheat is situation); cattle feeders continued m market (are they really feeding that the smaller number for a much strength.

At this time we would a certificate in practical say 15 to 40 cents over the nursing from Kellogg 1978-79 crop price. Community College. Soybeans There is a big 1979 crop of soybeans. Estimates for use have also gone up but not as much as supply. Therefore, expected carryout next Aug. 31 could be over 350 million bushels. This would be the largest carryout in recent years and should effectively moderate the price at 50 cents to a dollar per bushel under the 1978 crop average. Nevertheless, soybeans are linked to speculative fever including weather in the Southern Hemisphere, the price of gold, the value of the dollar and just plain mythology. Look for soybean John E. Gergen Extension Agriculture Agent If dry weather continues in the central part of the state, this will be one of the best years ever for deep tillage, or. subsoiling, to loosen compacted soil. “All soils can be ex­ cessively compacted, often to depths below 12 inches, if heavy equipment packs wet Certain holiday traditions are always special.

The children will meet school staff and service members and become acquainted with the school they will attend. Children’s sessions are for information and story listening. They will also be and working playing together in the school and learn about songs, musical instruments, sharing together of work, play and treats as well as bus safety and other young learning. While the youngsters are busy with their schedule, the adults will be attending orientation sessions close by to learn of the latest in­ formation from the school counselor, principal, nurse, social worker and other resource people brought to the parents to supply up to the date school information.

Dean Hansen, historian of the Childs Demerey Post 222 of Vermontville, has prepared an interesting evening with local veterans as guests. The home of the Legion was erected in 1909 as a memorial fund to the GAR by Mrs. Clare Squier Vaugan, sister of the two Squier boys and the other ninty boys and doctors who served in the Civil War.

Farmers should not deep­ till unless their soil is severely compacted. Under average conditions, deep tillage will not increase crop yields. “If there are few or no roots below plow depth, subsoiling is likely to do some good,” Gergen ex­ plains. “Standing water, slow ifiltration rates, slow drainage by tile or excessive erosion by water may be clues that soil is compacted. Lodging, malformed roots and off-colored leaves are other symptoms associated with compacted soil.” Subsoiling generally should be done in Michigan in the fall when soil moisture levels are normally low. Tillage of wet soil causes puddling and decreases yields. Subsoilers also should not be used on soils which do not drain well, for water may collect in the subsoil. This delays subsequent tillage treatments and planting. “A field may require deep tillage one year and not the next,” Gergen says. “Cer­ tain crops, such as sugar beets, are harvested by very heavy equipment, which can compact soil as deep as two feet.” Yields of deep-tilled fields generally increase more on soils which have been artifically compacted than on soils which are compacted naturally. Though the reason for this is unclear, Gergen says the naturally com­ pacted zone may be too thick for deep tillage tools to penetrate.

Theywouldput the basket of goodies on the door step than pound on the side of the house or door to bring them, then watch and receive their thank you when they came to the door. Something different I agree. Thought about this a lot & how did it get turned around?

Nash blasts insurance bill “High risk” policyholders won a large victory at the expense of outstatesuburban Detroit motorists when the House passed a controversial essential insurance bill Tuesday, State Representative Ernest W. Nash (R-Dimondale) charged today. Nash said he voted again­ st the measure because it is contrary to the free market philosophy and will increase auto and homeowners’ inin­ surance rates in the 56th District. He said he is not sure how much insurance rates in his district will in­ crease as a result of the 71 legislation. The measure has now been passed by the House and Senate and is awaiting Governor Milliken’s signature. “Statistics which have been used by the insurance industry for years are statistically verifiable and have been the basis for the establishment of insurance rates,” Nash said. “As a result of this legislation, the free market system will be disrupted and will cause insurers to set their prices at a high level since they will not know what sort of losses Notice! All advertising and display and want-ads deadline will be Sat. at 1 o'clock — Maple Valley News to expect based on new factors introduced.” Nash said the bill “ignores real facts” in order to achieve a better social system for persons who are “high risk” policyholders while shifting the burden of payment onto “low risk” persons. “This legislation ignores some of those facts in order to achieve a social result and this will mean higher rates for many drivers who benefit from the present groupings by being careful drivers,” he added. Nash also predicted that the about-to-be-signed bill will cause “headaches for the insurance industry” as well as inequities in the marketplace. “This bill is an attempt by some lawmakers to make policyholders in outstate areas subsidize some Detroit drivers who are considered ‘high risks’.” “Why should people who choose to be careful drivers to keep their rates low have to pay for careless drivers?” Nash asked. “It’s just not a fair plan for the majority of Michigan residents who will be forced to pick up the tab.” "I'M SAVING 154 ON EVERY GALLON OF GAS I BUY." “With the price of gasoline these days, I want to be sure I’m getting my money’s worth from every tankful. So I’m doing four simple things to save gas—and it’s like getting a 15« discount on every gallon! “Just slowing down from 70 to 55 mph on the highway saves enough gas to equal a 6e a gallon discount. Keeping my car tuned saves 4tf a gallon more. And I’m saving another nickel a gallon just by using radial tires and keeping them correctly inflated.

The calves, weighing from 500­ 600 pounds, were purchased in Baker, Montana on Oc­ tober 12 and 13, and arrived here 24 hours later. Since then they have been pre­ conditioned, (i.e., wormed and inoculated and had pre­ conditioning medicated Obituaries CONTINUED — Goldie May Helsel NASHVILLE - Mrs. Goldie May Helsel, age 79, of 615 Reed St. died Friday, November 2,1979 at Pennock Hospital, Hastings. She was bom August, 24, 1900 in Brazil, Indiana, the daughter of Marion arid Lula- (Gard­ ner! Johnson. She moved from Indiana to Detroit in 1919. In 1949, she and her husband, Watkins Nickolas, moved to Nashville where they ran Nickolas Appliance Store. He died in 1963. She operated the store until 1973. She married Willard Helsel in 1973 in Charlotte. Mrs. Helsel is survived by her husband, Willard; one foster daughter, Mrs. Wesley (Susan) Clark of Lancaster, California; two step-sons, Duane and Dick Helsel, both of Nashville; four stepgrandaughters; and one brother, Lester Johnson of Charlotte.

From the first morning after arrival, they’ve been eating their full ration of pre­ conditioning feed and are doing exceptionally well. We believe that the 4-H’ers will find this group of calves in excellent condition, ready to do the job. This is the procedure we will follow on Sale Day, the 17th. Interested 4-H’ers from Van Buren will have the first rounds of choices of the calves. After all of the Van Buren ■ kids have selected their animals, the sale will be open to 4-H’ers from other counties. Members in­ terested should register the day of the sale. Their names will be placed in a hat In another hat will be numbers corresponding to the number of registered members (1 thru?). At “draw” time, a name and a number will be drawn. The named member will select his calf based on the drawn number. In this way, the last kid’s name drawn still could get No. 1 choice of calves. Calves will be selected in order from pens of calves with specific weight ranges. That is, there will be pens of -calves weighing 500-510 lbs., 511-520 lbs., etc., insofar as we are able to get uniform weights. Prices for each calf within a particular pen will be posted so that members may make intelligent choices. A clerk and teller will be on station to accept payment for the calves the day of the sale. The Sale time schedule is as predictable as Michigan weather but here are the plans: ’DATE: Saturday, November 17. LOCATION: Van Buren Youth Fairgrounds, C.R. 681 at Red Arrow Highway, midway between ' Hartford and Lawrence. ■ • TIME SCHEDULES: 6-9 a.m. - Weigh, tag and sort steers; 9-10 am. Participants look at steers; 10 a.m. - Noon - Steer Sale. The calves have been priced to reflect the actual costs involved in getting them to sale day. That in­ cludes purchase price, commission (at Baker, Montana), trucking, medications, feed and labor during the pre-conditioning time. The JLPA wants to “break even” on this sale, so you’ll find good calves at very acceptable prices. (This article has been furnished by the Barry County Cooperative Ex­ tension Service.

I promise not to smoke for 24 hours (and maybe longer), or to help a friend quit.’ American Cancer Societ Join the ‘great American Smokeout’ Smokers in Vermontville and Nashville are being encouraged by the American Cancer Society to take a day off from smoking Thursday by joining “The Great American Smokeout’'. The Society’s attack is aimed at one of the most difficult habits to break smoking. The aim of the campaign is to get smokers to pledge a day without cigarettes, cigars, or pipes. Research conducted by the Cancer Society indicates that there are more than 50 million smokers in the United States. Surveys consistently show that large numbers of cigarette smokers want to quit. The Great American Smokeout gives them the opportunity to prove to themselves that they can even if just for a day. Because they join the Smokeout in large numbers, they reinforce each other in the attempt. Last year, 26.6 percent of the nation’s cigarette smokers participated... nearly 14,500,000 persons. Of these, about 3,600,000 made it all the way through the day, and 2,400,000 were still not smoking two weeks later. Pledge cards are available, but not necessary. Any smoker can participate. Cost of the U.S. smoking habit is an average of $400 per year for a two pack per day smoker. Lung cancer strikes nearly 100,000 persons per year in the United States. Eighty percent of these could have been prevented. Why? Because 80 percent of all lung cancer victims were moderate to heavy smokers. If ybu don’t smoke, be a friend... by getting a friend to quit smoking on Thursday, November 15.

The group is undertaking the work for its “Building Our American Com­ munities” project this year. Eleven FFA members who are students in Keith Greenwald’s Vocational Agriculture II class have been participating in the project during some of their class time for the past several weeks. They have planted two shrubs in front of the chapel in the cemetery and the other 12 evergreen yews by the mausoleum. To add a completed land­ scaping look to the work, the FFA members also have filled in the area with small stones and black plastic and installed edging around the spots. Prior to the basic planting project, the students spent time digging out the old bushes which detracted from the landscape. American Legion members honored By Ava Kroger Members of the American Legion were honored at the Vermontville Historical Society meeting Thursday, and it was an especially enjoyable evening as so many persons in Ver­ montville’s past history were mentioned and remembered. Veterans who attended with their wives were: Jack Rathburn, Korean war veteran who served asmaster of ceremonies in the absence of Dean Hansen (World War II) who was ill; John Hokauson of World War I; Arthur Shetenhelm, a charter member of post 222, of World War I and II; Carl Thrun of World War II; Bob Ripley of World War II; Gerald Thrasher of World War II; Jim Zemke of the Korean War; Don Martin, Korean; Dave Smythe of Sunfield, Navy; Flossie Corey, WAC; and Darwin Alldaffer, Viet Nam War. The American Legion was organized in France in 1919 by soldiers waiting to come home. Dr. C. L. D. McLaughlin was the first Legion Com­ mander in Vermontville, followed by Dana Hammond, Vance Barber, Ernest Austin, Gene Dickey, John Lozo, Wayne Bosworth and others. A Mrs. Squire Vaughn gave $800 toward a hall, and the Barber State Bank gave a deed to the A.L. for second floor of their building. Many activities of the A.L. were mentioned, such as putting new flags on Veterans’ graves graves for Memorial Day, and planning exercises for that day, a member acting as Post Service Director giving a scholarship for Boys Week, allowing band boosters to fry sausage at their hall before Syrup Festival and at Festival time serving thousands of pancakes, sausage and that delicious Vermontville maple syrup. After the meeting. Bob Gierman of Portland made a batch of his own brand of peanut brittle candy, which was auctioned off by Robert Todd, proceeds to Historical Society. New 1980 officers for the Historical Society are: President, Martha Zemke; 1st Vice President, Betty Thrasher; 2nd Vice President, Ava Kroger; Secretary and Treasurer, Francis Snyder; Program Chairman, Don Shepherd; Trustees, Kate Snyder and Esther Shepard. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, November 14, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Thanks to Ethel'and Jerry Bandfield of Nashville, our “Memories of the Past” got a real “shot in the arm” last week. Over the years the Bandfields had fallen heir to an extensive collection of news clippings, mostly obituaries of prominent Nashville folks and various business items from the 1930’s to mid-1950’s. The stories had been saved and pasted in scrapbooks by the late Mrs. Ed (Clara) Hannemann. Several years ago the Bandfields also received a good amount df photos, mostly of the Thornapple River area and old grist mill, taken by the late Otto Lass. Having had these “goodies” stashed in a closet for nine years now, Ethel decided to pass them on to us for use in our local history research. There is an absolute wealth of information in the yellowed pages of Mrs. Hannemann’s scrapbooks, and Otto’s photography will help illustrate several upcoming “Memories” on Nashville’s past. Our sincere thanks and appreciation to the Banfields for their generosity in sharing this treasure of information with us, that we might share it with readers. The Bandfield’s gift brought to mind a story, “Coin­ cidence: Is It Black Magic or Blind Chance,” .written by Edward Ziegler and published in the August 1979 issue of The Reader’s Digest. Although we had a copy of Mary White’s obituary to write this week’s “Memories” about her, we were stumped in establishing dates of her business operation in Nashville. After several phone calls that turned up only generalities, we were at a definite impasse on the story. Then, like a bolt out of the blue, Ethel Bandfield ap­ peared with the scrapbooks. Curiously leafing through the first one, we immediately spotted the exact news story we needed to complete the Mary White article: the Nashville News account for her sale of the Main Cafe to the Howells, complete with all necessary background information on Mary’s earlier restaurant. Somehow that seemed to us like more than mere coincidence, as are many such instances detailed in Ziegler’s story. An all-day shopping spree in Chicago at the Multi-level Schumburg Mall, billed as the world’s largest, was a treat for a Greyhound busload of Nashville and Vermontville women last Wednesday. Under the guidance of Mrs. Greta Firster of Vermontville, the excursion left Nashville shortly after 6 a.m. and didn’t return until midnight. Nearly all the ladies came home toting a quantity of parcels, after a delightful day of browsing and buying in the approximately 200 stores located in the four-story mall. Only one man, in addition to the bus driver, was present on the excursion bus which had only two empty seats with a 42-passenger capacity. While the local folks were busy hunting bargains in Chicago, many shoppers here in town were doing the same at Helen’s Huwe’s gigantic semi-annual rummage sale in the old Nazarene Church quarters on North Main. This event has become such a crowd-pleaser that parking space in that area is often at a premium during the 3-day affair and “standing room only” best describes the scene at the checkout lane inside the building. Collectors and just plain thrifty folks look forward to Helen’s sales, which she spends days on end organizing. It’s a treat just to view the amazing variety of items she is able to pack into the limited display While the guys are out hunting...

"The Mirrors image" ^ipeMlMOMi iuiaas„ CALL FOR AN APPOINTMENT 852~9192 Nashville area, using both “on” and “under” table surfaces to best advantage. Saturday callers on Mrs. Caroline Jones of Nashville were Mrs. Marquita Clements of Chicago, Mrs. Evalee Marshall and Mrs. Marcelle Tooke, both of Battle Creek, and Mrs. Geneva Novak of rural Hastings. Sunday, Mrs. Jones ac­ companied Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Lamie of Nashville to Battle Creek where they spent the day visiting Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones. Members of Nashville’s Garden Club enjoyed an ex­ cursion to Battle Creek last Tuesday to tour Kingman Museum. They also stopped at the new Naum’s store and enjoyed lunch at Russ’ Restaurant before returning to Nash­ ville. Recent callers on Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis of Nashville were Talbert and Beulah Curtis of Kinsel Highway. Mrs. Viola Beystrum of Nashville enjoyed a recent weekend visit from her son, Robert, of Port Clinton, Ohio. Arriving on Friday, he drove Mrs. Beystnun and her sister, Mrs. Ednah McConnell of Battle Creek, to Hesperia in Oceana County to visit their cousin, Mrs. Lavon Paul. They spent the day and had dinner with her before driving on to Cadillac for an overnight stay. The next day Robert drove his mother and aunt to Elk Rapids for a day of calling on friends there. They returned to Nashville Sunday. On Monday, Robert returned to Ohio delivering Mrs. McConnell to her home in Battle Creek enroute. Weekend visitors of Mrs. Esther Buckley of Nashville were her daughter and family, Vergalene and Edward Olson and daughter, Darcie, of Madison, Wisconsin. Following the Olson’s departure home, Mrs. Buckley spent Sunday af­ ternoon with Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Marble of Hastings. Fred and Marguerite Ackett of Nashville enjoyed a recent Sunday morning breakfast get-together with her family, at the Steak House Restaurant in Nashville. Present were her sister, Mrs. Marian Dean, and her brothers and their wives, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Baker and Mrs. and Mrs. Vance Baker, all of Charlotte. Nashville firemen were called south of town early last Monday afternoon when an individual cutting wood on Maple Grove Road inadvertently felled a tree across a power line, downing it. The firefighters stood by until a repair crew from the power company arrived on the scene. Fortunately the only problem was a few leaves ignited by the crackling line, creating small blazes which were promptly stomped out by the firemen. The Nashville Fire Dept, answered a call Tuesday evening to extinquish a kitchen fire at the home of Mrs. Sena French (the historic Gribben house on South Main Street). The blaze which originated on the kitchen range resulted in a burned exhaust hood, scorched cabinets and formica, some damage to a nearby wall and door casing, and a scorched ceiling. Although the fire was quickly under control, the variety of damaged surfaces will probably require rather extensive repair. Officers for the new year were elected at last Wednesday’s meeting of the United Methodist Women, held at the par­ sonage on Chapel Drive. Chosen as president of the organization was Evelyn Mason; as vice-president, Loretta Pixley; as secretary, Helen Seller; and as treasurer, Nita Brown. Programs for the upcoming year were also outlined at the Wednesday evening meeting. Entertainment was furnished by Evelyn Mason showing beautiful slides of the Caribbean, one of the many exciting areas she and her husband have visited in their frequent travels. George B. Dean of Nashville read with interest last week’s story on the “magic lantern” discovered recently at Putnam Public Library during an attic insulation job. George recalls his family also had one of the kerosene-powered con­ traptions, an early version of a slide projector, which furnished many happy hours of entertainment. Mrs. Jane Shoup of Nashville was the featured speaker at last Monday’s meeting of the Friends of the Library at Putnam Public Library. Mrs. Shoup, a library staff member, read to the group from a notebook collection she has typed from old news clippings about the Charles Putnam family and the history of the library. She also talked of the William Boston family. He settled here in 1877 and founded the Boston brick and tile works near the present-day Wheeler Marine. During Monday evening’s business meet­ ing of FOL members discussed twb potential fund-raising projects: one, a customer-ordered bake sale; and, secondly, possible publication of a collection of favorite recipes of local women. In addition to those contributed by FOL members, a suggestion was offered to contact senior citizens in the community for their favorite recipes. Each would be published listing the contributor’s name, and the book would be offered for sale to the public. Proceeds would be used by the FOL for many projects they have planned for the benefit of the local library. Nashville churches will hold a combined community Thanksgiving eve service at the Assembly of God Church on Reed Street at 7 p.m. next Wednesday, November 21. Host pastor Rev. Robert Taylor will lead the service; Rev. Leonard Putnam of the Nashville United Methodist Church will deliver the sermon. The public is cordially invited to attend this event. Rev. Lloyd Mead, a native of the Barryville area and a well-known former Methodist pastor in this community, was hospitalized at Pennock last week. Rev. Mead and his wife, Lola, had just recently returned to Michigan from their retirement home in St. Petersburg, Florida, and had taken up residence at the Barry County Medical Care Facility. A change has been announced in the date for showing the film, “A Distant Thunder”, at the Nashville Baptist Church. The program, originally scheduled for November 25th is noW set for December 2. The movie depicting the tribulation By Susan Hinckley period at the end of the world will be shown during 7 p.m. Sunday services at the church. The Sveden House in Lansing will be the scene of the first annual Workers’ Banquet for the Nashville Baptist Church. Honored at the 8:30 p.m. Saturday event, December 1, will be workers in all departments of the church. Awards will be presented to church workers at the dinner. November has been designated Senior Citizen Month at the Nashville Baptist Church, with special honors going to various persons in that age category. Honored last Sunday was the longest-wed couple in attendance at services that day. A celebration in honor of her 75th birthday surprised and delighted Mrs. Veda Guy of Nashville recently. The Sunday potluck dinner affair, held in the Community House of the Nashville United Methodist Church on November 4, was arranged and hosted by Mrs. Guy’s two sons and their wives: Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Guy of Augusta and Mr. and Mrs. Kendall Guy of Bristol, Indiana. In attendance at the event were friends and relatives from Marshall, Hastings, Dowling, Kalamazoo, and Assyria, and many from the local community. Those-from out-of-state came from Indiana. Many represented long-standing friendships with Mrs. Guy, some in excess of fifty years. The last time little Nick Childs flew to Michigan he was accompanied by his mother. But last Thursday the 5-yearold lad boarded a jet in California and made the journey on his own. He admits the adventure was a little scary at first, though not for long. During a holiday from school, he will spend two-and-a-half weeks here visiting his maternal grandparents, Carl and Louise Bahs of Nashville and his father, David Childs of Vermontville, phis seeing great­ grandparents, cousins, and other relatives. Nick’s mother is Mrs. Geri (Bahs) Childs of Redwood City, Calif. Mr. and Mrs. Jeff (Rae) Murphy and daughter, Kathryn, of Chicago arrived in town October 26 for a weekend visit with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Dave Murphy of Nashville and Mr. and Mrs. Roger Hosey of Kinsel Highway. Saturday evening, Roger and Kay Hosey hosted a party in celebration of baby Kathryn’s first birthday. Present in addition to the Hoseys and their son, Chuck, and Jeff and Rae Murphy, were Mr. and Mrs. Dave Murphy, Miss Cinda Murphy of Lansing, Quentin Ward of Nashville, and Les Murphy of East Lansing. Following the weekend visit here, Jeff returned to Chicago where he is currently engaged in graduate studies in the para-legal field at Roosevelt University.

Mrs. Lonny Kienutske read with interest last week’s account of the 133 trick-or-treaters tallied at the Fred Ackett residence on Reed Street. Sue Kienutske also kept track of Halloween callers at her Washington Street home and reports she had 308. Now she wonders if any other area of town was more heavily “hit” by the local goblins. Now visiting in the “down under” continent of Australia is Mrs. Omer (Mary Jean) Dean and her mother, Mrs. Beatrice Code, both of rural Nashville. They are spending a month at Melbourne, seeing the sights and calling on Mrs. Code’s grandson, Jerry Newland. He is a chemical engineer' and pharmacist, and plans to make a trip to the USA next year. The Nashville ladies arrived in Australia after a 21­ hour flight, and are enjoying tropical climate, according to a postcard received last week by Mrs. Dean’s son, Richard, of Nashville.

The monies expected in November from EPA represent the grant eligible portion of the cost of three parcels of land the village needs to construct a new lagoon and - irrigation wastewater treatment facility on Brumm Road, northwest of the village. One 80-acre parcel, belonging to John J. and Montiel Dull of Nashville, was acquired by the village Tuesday at a cost of $65,000., council officials disclosed at Thursday’s meeting. The early transaction was necessitated by impending expiration of a purchase option held by the village on the property. Two additional parcels of land, approximately 40 acres with home and outbuildings owned by William and Janice Roberts and ap­ proximately 40 acres of vacant land belonging to Kathryn Luke of Alma, will be acquired as soon as the land reimbursement grant funds are recieved from the EPA. All properties for the project are being purchased in compliance with the U.S. Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970.

Astute observers of that day believe it may well have been the fabulous cooking of Mary White. Almost like clockwork the crew of the Grand Rapids - to. - Jackson: run would find themselves in Nashville at lunchtime, disembark from their puf­ fing “iron horse”, and head enmasse to the Main Cafe. The out-of-town trainment shared something in com­ mon with Nashville folks. They were all part of Mary’s “family”. “I believe there was not a trainman on that line that Mary couldn’t call by his first name,” observes a Nashville resident who remembers watching the crew trek from the depot to Mary’s eating establishment on South Main. Born in Charlotte in 1892, Mary (Proctor) White came to Nashville in the 1920’s where her winning ways with a skillet and a smile soon endeared her to the local populace. • “During the more than quarter century she lived in Nashville she came to be one of the best loved citizens in the town, and was widely known as a restaurant operator,” noted the Nash­ ville News at Mary’s death in May 1956. Mary had only one im­ mediate survivor, a brother in Lansing, but left to mourn her passing was a large family of friends, representing a wide segment of the local community. “Mary had a heart as big as all get-out,” recalls Mary’s first-cousin-onceremoved, Mrs. Douglas (Wilma Fuller) DeCamp of Nashville. “She was a very sweet lady; everybody liked her.” Wilma rejnembers her as “Aunt” Mary, though she was actually a first cousin to Mrs. DeCamp’s mother, the late Mrs. Fred (Sadie McGinnes) Fuller of Nash­ ville. “Mother and Mary were very close, almost like sisters,” recalls Wilma’s sister, Mrs. Vern (Alice) Marshall of Nashville. “We felt as though she was more of an aunt to us than a cousin,” explains Mrs. Marshall, who recalls Mary as a ‘marvelous person’.” “Aunt Mary was a won­ derful cook,” remembers Mrs. Lawrence (Mary) Jarrard of Nashville, a sister to Wilma and Alice. “Her By Susan Hinckley restaurant was always full every noon.” Mary White had first made her debut in Nashville as a talented baker of fried cakes, which she prepared and sold in her home at 231 South Main Street. In 1928 she opened her “Main Cafe” in the former J. C. Hurd building, just north of Dr. E. T. Morris’ home. (In earlier years, the structure had housed C. J. Scheldt’s pool room.) Featuring home cooking, and specializing in Sunday chicken dinners, Mary soon built up a fine business. “Mary White’s place was THE restaurant in town, as far as eats go,” recollects Dick Mason of Nashville, whose great-aunt, the. late Elsie Tarbell, worked in the Main Cafe a number of years. “It ,was good home­ style food and Mary did all the cooking herself, not just supervising others.” MaSon recounted the story of a traveling salesman who was terribly disappointed when he came through town several years later and could not locate Mary’s cafe. Looking forward to Mary White’s fine cooking had been the highlight of his regular route through this area.

NASHVILLEHARDWARE — FULL FACTORY AUTHORIZED SERVICE — 105 NORTH MAIN STREET, NASHVILLE PHONE 852-0713 Mary White served as cook for girl scouts at Camp Innissfree near Detroit before her restaurant days in Nashville. A later summer (after selling her local cafe in 1943) was spent working at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island with her friend Rena Blake of Nashville. (Photo (Photo loaned, loaned, courtesy courtesyJoyce Joyce (Dawson) (Dawson) Baker) Baker) Trainmen, salesmen, rural and village folks from all walks of life - even school children - found irresistible appeal in the warmth of Mary’s hospitality and her bountiful portions of home­ style food. “I ate lunch at Aunt Mary’s restaurant every day when I was in high school,” recalls Mrs. Jarrard. Children were always welcome at the Main Cafe, remembers a village resident who can still reminisce about Mary’s hearty hot beef sandwich served with mashed potatoes and gravy, accompanied by a tall glass of milk - all for 35 cents in the 1930’s. The quality and quantity of Mary White’s menu still evokes praise today. Youngsters of the 1930’s era are also apt to recall Mary’s constant companion - a black cocker spaniel she called “Jill”. The faithful dog accompanied'Mary daily to the restaurant. After 13 years in the location north of the Dr. Morris property (presentday site of Fargo Service) Mary moved her cafe to the corner of Main and Maple Street, taking over the former Zemer Hardware building (present-day Steak House) in 1941. Mary refurbished the old store which had set empty several years following Zemer’s deaths converting it into a spacious restaurant. For almost a year, Mary’s new Main Cafe was Nash­ ville’s only public eating place. But Mary’s health was gradually failing. A diabetic, she was slowly losing vision. In 1943 Mary sold the restaurant to Ransom and Florence Dawson Howell. Fondly known to many as “Alabama,” and a 12-year employee of Mary White’s Main Cafe, Mrs. Howell died only four months after taking over the operation. The restaurant then passed on to a succession of owners. Though no longer con­ nected with the cafe, Mary A lovely lady with a big heart was Mary White, who came to Nashville in the 1920's from Charlotte. Fried cakes prepared and sold at her South Main Street home launched Mary's lifelong food service career. In 1928 she opened her first restaurant in this building (now site of Fargo Service). Her winning ways with a skillet and a smile soon won her many devoted fans; kept her busy here for 13 years.

Wednesday, November 14, 1979— Page 5 4-H’ers look for leaders Nashville Village Council — MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING —' ...can you help? report from— Ernest Nash State Representative SUNSET ON SUNSET? - The House will soon vote on SB 75, which began as a “sunset” law but now contains no provisions to ensure that agencies would not continue forever. Amendments are expected for adding specific termination dates for agencies. SCHOOL PRAYER - Now before the full House is HB 4508, which would require schools to offer students time for voluntary prayer. Present law allows but does not require this; constitutional questions will probably be raised on this proposal. I will support this bill. MIOSHA RULES - Both houses have now approved HB 4532, which specifies that in some cases employers must furnish safety equipment to their employees and sets procedures for the state to shut down work equipment which is deemed to be dangerous. WAYNE COUNTY - The continuing problems of Wayne County have produced SB 652, which would provide for the reorganization of that county’s government; it is now before the Senate, Also, the House has before it HB 4784, which would split off all of that county west of the city of Detroit and create a new county to be known as Suburbia. WETLANDS WAITING - The full House is now con­ sidering Senate Bill 3, which as presently written would immediately bring most of the state’s high-population, highgrowth areas under the procedures designed to preserve and protect wetlands. Smaller areas would have more elaborate procedures, with the result that it w6uld be 4 to 5 years before the whole state is covered. SCHOOL VIOLENCE - The Governor’s Task Force on School Violence and Vandalism has recommended that elementary and secondary school students should have more involvement in school operations including the development ,of a code of conduct. This would help remove the “us-versus-them” attitudes which are believed to have contributed to school violence and vandalism. RACETRACK WINNINGS - The House has concurred in Senate amendments to HB 4531, which would allow racetrack patrons to deduct their winnings from taxable income; also, losses could be deducted from income as long as those losses do not exceed winnings. PRIVACY PROPOSAL - The Senate will soon vote on SJR “D”, which proposes an amendment toihe state constitution which would prohibit the infringement of a person’s right to privacy without due process of law. If two-thirds of each house approve, this will be on the ballot in 1980. NEW CEMETERY :The first National Cemetery to be located in Michigan will be at Fort Custer near Augusta in Kalamazoo County in my District. It will open in late 1983 and will serve veterans in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin and Minnesota in addition to the 1.2 million veterans in. our own state.

Members are all students at Meadowview School, and all are in some way physically or mentally handicapped. Their handicaps don’t dampen their enthusiasm for 4-H, however, and prac­ tically the whole school is anxiously anticipating the beginning of its third year of 4-H activities. There is one small problem - the club never seems to have enough leaders. The club meets once a week (either Wednesday or Thursday) for two hours in the morning out at the school, to work on sewing, crafts, and indoor gardening projects. ■ The boys are particularly interested in a woodworking project, but there is no leader for this area. Woud you or someone you know, have a couple of hours each week to be. 4-H leaders for these 4-H’ers? The club could use leaders and assistant leaders for the various project areas. If you can help, please contact either Charlotte Wight, at 763-9362 (Bellevue) or Jan Tirrell at the 4-H Office, 543­ 2310. The “Lucky Suns” would like to thank all of you who helped with the program last year. These are: Charlotte Wight, Bellevue; Marilyn Bishop, Bellevue; Ruth Van Vleck, Dick Hill and Kris Bosworth all of Charlotte. Your donations of time, skills and knowledge have been greatly appreciated. We would like to wish you all a very happy and satisfying holiday season and the best of luck in the new year!

(tfn) Memories of the past could not retire from her lifelong service of caring and cooking for others. “If anyone came to her hungry,” commented Mrs. DeCamp, “Aunt Mary wouldn’t let them get away without feeding them.” After a summer’s work as a housekeeper at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island, Mary resumed serving meals and catering private parties in her home, in additon to keeping roomers. Often the boarders were schoolteachers, new in town and without local • roots. Mary loved “mothering” the young folks who lived under her roof. “Mary also continued to serve Sunday chicken din­ ners at her home,” remembers Dick Mason. “They were open to the public, with sort of an in­ formal reservationsystem so she would know how much to prepare.” Trainmen also found their way to Mary’s table'from the nearby railroad depot. For 20 more years Mary con­ tinued to care for her “community family”, even as her health gradually declined. At the end, Mary was critically ill less than a week before she succumbed. Though she had virtually no family to call her own, Mary was widely mourned The regular meeting of the Nashville Village Council held October 25, 1979 at 7:00 p.m. at the Castleton Township Hall was called to order by President Harold Christiansen. Present were Curtis, Kohfeldt, Spoelstra, Kienutske, Babcock and Hinckley. The minutes of the last regular meeting were read and approved. Motion by Spoelstra, supported by Curtis to apply for a Parade Permit to Close M-66 on December 8, 1979 from 10 to 11 a.m. for a Christmas Parade. All ayes, motion carried. Motion by Kienutske, supported by Hinckley to add shrubs around the lift stations after construction work is completed. Shrubs to be planted by the Department of Public Works. All ayes, motion carried. Motion to adjourn by Spoelstra, supported by Hinckley. Meeting adjourned at 7:45 p.m. continued Date: Nov. 8, 1979 A person's own wishes, not his age,, should determine his time of retirement. Forced retirement at 65 or 70 is wrong. Many artists, musicians, and other professionals have done good work until they died. Older industrial workers have a 20% better absentee record than younger workers. They have fewer on-the-jqb injuries and the frequency of accidents decreases with age. and sadly missed by a community that truly loved the lady with the big heart. Today, Mary White’s name is still synonymous with hearty food, hospitality and home. Those kinds of memories would please Mary most of all.

With the economy softening? With inflation, lay-offs, and strikes, be thankful? Well, the choice is ours. We may look at conditions and be afraid, or like our forefathers, we may trust God. A little over 300 years ago, the pilgrims left Leyden, Holland. Almost half of them died that first year, but the remaining 55, knowing*that they were in the hand of God, harvested their 27 acres of corn and barley, prepared a meal and invited the Indians as their guests. Those homesick, weary, over-drawn, settlers forgot the danger and suffering as on that, never to be forgotten, day in November of 1621 they sat down to thank the Lord. As a result of their communion with the living God, they faced the future with renewed courage and burning hope. On that unshakable, courageous faith our nation was founded. On this Thanksgiving Day, in the year of our Lord 1979, let's begin as they did; with humble, open confession of sin. Then accepting, by faith, His forgiveness and salvation and counting every blessing as from His hand, pour out our hearts in joyous Thanksgiving. For, when we come in that manner, it is never long until our entire being is melted in the true scriptural experience of OOOINWW real praise and heartfelt gratitude. UM® ANO G®- STANTON ^wwwj Ph: 726-1121 Real Estate & Auctioneers This was the experience of our fore­ fathers and it will be ours as we "Enter into His gates with thanksgiving and into his courts with Praise."

In Michigan, trained field enumerators will visit 400 farmers to collect data for the survey. Don J.

Our Lions started slow at Saranac trailing after one quarter 12-7 and at half 20-17. The third and fourth quar­ ters belonged to Maple Valley as our girls outscored the Saranac Redskins 33-24 to give the Lions a victory. Tuesday Aspinall led all scorers with 15 points, Julie Barlow added 10, Diane Cook 8, Lori Decker 7, and Melissa Coffman 4 points. Daine Cook pulled down 12 rebounds and Lori Decker picked off 11. Julie Barlow had 7 steals. Fishing is popular Pre-school story hour starts November 14 Fishing is popular - and with fisherman’s luck, puts food on the table, according to Eaton Home Economist, Ann Ross. If you are fishing and would like information on preserving fish or fish cookery, call the Extension Office (543-2310) and ask about “Freezing Meat and Fish In The Home”, and “Great Lakes Fish Cookery”. Information on canning fish is available also. One critical step in canning fish is brining (soaking fish in salt brine). Never omit this step. MSU recommends using only half pint jars for canning fish. Pressure canning is the only safe canning method for fish.

Thursday night saw the Lions out to display excellent defense and their finest offensive game of the season. In fact the 64 points scored is the most points ever made by a varsity girls team at Maple Valley, the old recored was 60 set in 1977. The first quarter action had Maple Valley out in front 14-6 and they did not let up as Carson City went down to defeat 64-52. This game gave the Lions an overall record of 7 wins and 8 loses. Tuesday Aspinall played the best game of her career scoring 19 points, grabbing 7 steals and dishing out 6 assists to lead the Lions. Julie Barlow hit for 12 points, making their production, storage, and marketing plans; by manufacturers or processors serving farmers; by state and federal farm program planners working with producers; by the transportation and export industry. Estimates of acreage planted to winter wheat this fall and potential 1980 production will be released December 21; the latest estimate of hogs on farms and farrowing plans for early 1980 also will be issued that day. The cattle in­ ventory update will be issued January 30, 1980. Copies of each report are avialable by request from the Michigan Agricultural Reporting Service, P.O.

Many forest owners who purchased land in the last 10­ 20 years have never benefited from a timber sale because the forest was in such poor or bad neglected shape when it was pur­ chased. Forest lands such as these are in definite need of management. This management may involve thinning of clumps, removal of oversized “wolf” trees or in some cases restocking with desirable tree species. One must look at a forest the same as a farmer looks at a crop of com The farmer knows how. to get the most out of an acre by the spacing of kernels and elimination of competing weeds. The result is a high-yielding acre of corn. Forests need the same treatment. Eliminate the “weed” species such as dogwood, and ironwood, and find your future “crop” trees and give them adequate room in which to grow. The results will surprise you. Growth rates on unmanaged timber lands may be as low as .5 facecord per acre per year. The same land could produce 2-2.5 facecord per acre per year or more if good management was used. Because forest management is a long ter­ med investment; many people argue that the moqey return isn’t worth a wait of many years between timber harvests. They may be right, however, well managed forests can be reharvested 8­ 10 years after the initial cutting and this rotation can go on forever. Hopefully, the days we have cutting rotations of 30 years or more will be eliminated or reduced to a few specific cases. A finanacial return of a forest need not be confined to just timber harvesting for sawlogs.

One need not go into the details of the upswing in firewood sales and wood­ burners to illustrate the demand for firewood. Firewood prices in the area range from $25-$35 for a facecord (one-third of a full cord) -of hardwood. Lets consider that the average forest owner has 10 acres of woods. If his growth rate per acre is 2 facecord a year then he can take out 20 facecord of wood per year from this woodlot. Using an average price of $30 per facecord, this woodlot can earn $600 per year for every year forever. One facecord of well seasoned hardwood is equal to about 52 gallons of fuel oil No. 2. This woodlot could produce an equivalent of 1040 gallons of fuel oil every year forever. The periodic timber harvests can still be con­ tinued in rotation and the tops can be added as ad­ ditional firewood to the owner. Managed forest-lands can be a definite dollar benefit to the owners. Periodic har­ vesting with yearly “clean­ up” can make it feasible to invest some time and effort and get a “return” for your time spent. That’s what Forest Management is about and how it can work for you. QUESTION AND ANSWER QUESTION: I have a walnut tree in the back yard and wish to sell it. How much is it Worth? ANSWER: Competitive bidding on your tree should result in a fair price. (Considering that the tree is of value to a timber or veneer buyer.) Several bids from different buyers should give the seller some idea of the worth of the tree. A list of timber and veneer buyers along with the handout “Timber Sale Guidelines For The Private Woodland Owner” is available through the County Forester.

Santa’s arrival in a Saturday morning Christmas parade, local children decorating a giant-sized pine tree to be located in Central Park along with Santa’s house, a coloring contest with a new twist and a treasure hunt in local stores were scheduled by the Chamber at Wed­ nesday’s meeting, chaired by Ahmo Jordan in the ab­ sence of president Charles Andrus, Jr. Virginia Alles, sales representative for the Maple Valley News, explained to merchants at Wednesday’s meeting a coloring contest in which sketches of each participating local store will be published in the Maple Valley News the last week of November. Children will be encouraged to color the drawings, adding their own creative touch to the sketch by designing seasonal window or storefront decorations for buildings pictured. Mrs. Alles prepared the drawings and will be contacting merchants individually to furnish ad­ ditional details. Under plans discussed at Wednesday’s meeting, coloring contest entries in two age categories will be judged at each participating store, with the top winner in each group receiving a $5 gift certificate to be spent in that place of business. Arrangements for prizes from non-merchandising enterprises are still pending consideration. The younger set will also play a leading role in a Chamber-sponsored event set for 10:00 a.m. December 8, when Santa will arrive in town to participate in a parade commencing at Putnam Park and ter­ minating at Railroad Street. At Wednesday’s meeting, Caroline Dimmers, proprietor of the new Thornapple General Store, suggested that local elementary youngsters be invited to accompany the parade as they carry homemade Chrsitmas tree decorations they have created. At Central Park, where the Chamber hopes to erect a giant-sized pine, the children will pause to add their individual ornaments to the tree. The Chamber is currently seeking a donor for any approximately 20-ft. high pine. Chamber members will cut and transport the tree to the village from the property of any area landowner. Potential donors are asked to call Sharon Brumm at Nash­ ville Hardware for details. Holiday floats and other seasonal entries are being sought for Nashville’s Christmas parade, according to Dave Mace who, with president Andrus, is chairing the event. Mace told merchants Wednesday that art students at Maple Valley High School will construct papier-mache cartoon heads for the parade, and the Chamber agreed at their meeting to reimburse the youngsters for materials, as their creations will become the permanent property of the organization for use in future events. The Chamber-sponsored Christmas promotion will conclude with a “treasure hunt” set for Thursday, Friday and Saturday, December 13 through 15. Mrs. Alles told the group Wednesday that each paper of that week’s Maple Valley News issue, delivered here on Tuesday, will be marked with a different number. In order to win one of over 100 prizes that will be offered by local merchants, individuals must merely match the number on their issue of the newspaper with one of ten different winning numbers posted at each participating store. Further information on prizes to be offered by each merchant will appear in an upcoming edition of the Maple Valley News.

Nashville. Wednesday. November 21. 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Sylvester Van Hom of Nashville became quite a celebrity this past week when the nearly 97-year-old deer hunter was interviewed by Dick Evans of Channel 8’s “On the Michigan Road”. The show featuring Van Hom was aired by the Grand Rapids television station during their 6 p.m. newscast Wednesday evening. Having killed over 100 deer in 91 years of hunting (he’s been at it since he was 6 years of age), Van Horn said he had also killed countless bears. He remembers shooting four in one year, but had lost track of the total number of bears he had killed, he told Evans. Van Hom moved to Nashville about 20 years ago from Clare, where he returned last week for Thursday’s opening of the 1979 deer season. Sylvester claims he has hunted in every county in Michigan. He will celebrate his 97th birthday this month and plans to continue driving his own auto, at least for a while. His driver’s license is good for another three years and “when I reach 100, I’ll have it renewed again,” he told Evans. Van Horn’s trophy-decorated car is a familiar sight in local parades. Also an avid year-'round fisherman. Van Horn usually has an ice fishing shanty on the Thornapple River each winter. Sylvester is married to the former Mrs. Christina Snow of Nashville. Paper chains, popcorn balls and cranberry ropes - it will be an old-fashioned child’s Christmas in Nashville this year, the local Chamber of Commerce decided last week. A special event will encourage local youngsters to fashion homemade ornaments to decorate a 20-foot Christmas tree the Chamber hopes to place in Central Park in downtown Nashville. But first, a donor of such a sizeable pine must be found. A December 8th Christmas parade, heralding Santa’s arrival in the village, and a coloring contest which allows kids to create imaginary seasonal decor for local storefronts are also on the holiday agenda. More details appear elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News. Mrs. Nelson Brumm is happy to report that Nashville exceeded the community’s 1980 United Fund goal of $1,800. A great deal of thanks are due solicitors and all the local folks who contributed to the drive. The campaign was chaired by Mrs. Illa Steward of Nashville, with Mrs. Brumm handling the bookkeeping duties. Miss Kelly Christopher was honored at a bridal shower last Tuesday at the home of Mrs. Larry Corkwell of Nash­ ville. Co-hostess for the event was Marcia Elliston, also of this village. Kelly, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Christopher, will wed Douglas Aspinall, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Aspinall, on December 1. All are ofNashville. The Mayo-Evans Birthday Club met last week at the home of Mrs. Loretta Pixley of Nashville, with Theda Gardner as co-hostess. Lunch was served to nine members and two By Susan Hinckley guests, Dora Brown and Maxine Pixley. Following a business meeting, the group enjoyed bingo. Door prizes were won by Maxine Pixley and Vanessa Carpenter. The flower fund gift went to Dora 'Brown. Lorene Loomis of Charlotte will host a Christmas party for the club on December 13, with the assistance of Mary Dye of Bellevue. Members are to bring their own table service to the potluck dinner, plus a gift for their Sunshine Friend. Coffee and dessert will be furnished by the hostesses. Saturday evening dinner guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dave (Rosalie) Murphy of Nashville were Mary and Wayne Roush and Ruth and Bill Beck and children, all of Hastings. Thank heavens for folks who clip, paste and save! Old scrapbooks continue to help unravel the mysteries of Nash­ ville’s past. Just last week we wrote of how the yellowed pgs. of a scrapbook kept by the late Mrs. Clara Hannemann helped sort out information for a “Memories” feature on the late Mary White. Now, an old journal pasted full of dated clippings, carefully preserved by the late Mrs. Charles M. Putnam, has shed light on the young lad and his friends who were responsible for stashing a box of childhood treasures in an attic of the Putnam home before the turn of the century. Mrs. Putnam saved newspaper stories from both the local press and out-of-town daily publications. From these we have gleaned much information about her nephew Frank D. Smith, owner of the magic lantern and other “goodies” discovered during a recent insulation project at the Putnam home, now the Putnam Public Library, and' about his pal, Leslie Flint. “One of the saddest and most largely attended funerals that has been conducted here for some time was that of Frank D. Smith, which was held from the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Putnam last Sunday afternoon,” revealed a Nashville News account dated May 26, 1899. “The spacious house was filled with relatives and friends of the deceased, and nearly 400 people followed the remains to their in­ terment in Lakeview cemetery, the G.A.R. boys heading the procession.” Corporal Frank D. Smith, 23, had died May 15, 1899 at Fortress Monroe, Virginia, where he was a member of Battery E, Fourth Heavy Artillery. Caused by basal meningitis, his death was attributed to injuries received in Cuba at the Battle of Santiago during the Spanish-American War. There, less than a year before his death, Frank sustained a wound from a Mauser bullet in his hip and a compound fracture of the leg from another bullet. Treasures in Frank Smith’s boyhood cache indicate he had an overwhelming interest in journalism, and clippings saved by Mrs. Putnam bear this out. The Press of Ottumwa (Iowa?) wrote that Frank had been an employee of the newspaper’s mechanical department and “he made quite a large circle of friends while in the city. He was a good work­ man and a kind hearted, generous fellow whom everyone liked. His realistic pen picture of the terrible charge up San Juan Hill, which appeared in The Press a short time after the battle, attracted considerable attention here. It was pretty widely copied throughout the state.” Frank was the adopted son of his uncle and aunt, Charles and Agnes (Smith) Putnam in whose home he had been cared for following the 1890 death of his mother, Mrs. Carl Smith of Farwell, Mich. She died at age 36 of consumption, leaving her husband and two sons: Frank and Fred. (Fred was also enlisted in the same battery as he brother, a short time before Frank’s death). An 1894 honor graduate of Nashville - High School, Frank had taught several successful terms of school before engaging in newspaper work for about two years prior to his enlistment into the United States service as an artilleryman. A letter from his captain at Fort Monroe, Virginia advised his family that Cpl. Smith “was sent out about one and one-half miles from the fortress to guard a citizens’ hospital on Friday, May 12, and the next day was taken sick with basal meningitis and brought back to the soldier’s hospital, where he remained unconscious until his death, May 15.” Following services at the fortress chapel, the remains were escorted to the railway depot with full military honors and sent home to Nashville. It seems a strange twist of fate that a childhood journal found in Frank’s boyhood cache depicted battlefield scenes drawn by his friend Hugh Furniss. A number of letters from the pen of Frank D. Smith, first- hand accounts of his military experiences here and in Cuba, appeared in local papers and were saved by Mrs. Putnam. Dated clippings in her scrapbook cover a period from 1871 to 1916 and cover news of the local scene as well as various items of worldwide interest One undated clipping, identified with only a Nashville, Mich., July 6 dateline, brings readers news of Leslie D. Flint, a boyhood chum of Frank Smith. Judging by the contents of the treasure box recently found at Putnam, Leslie shared Frank’s avid interest in journalism. The clipping saved by Mrs. Putnam proves this true. “From Manitoba to Mexico and South America, touching at every port between, is a record achieved by few boys of 19 years. But that is what has been accomplished by Leslie D. Flint of Nashville, a young man born in Michigan,” the unidentified news piece related. “One of his earliest ambitions was to travel and see as much of the world as he could. After graduation from the Nashville High School he spentjust two weeks in a printing office as a printer’s devil and then went to Chicago, where he succeeded in securing a position as “tramp” reporter on one of the largest dailies in that city.” In hobo style, Frank headed west to spend nearly a year there and in the territory ofAlaska and western provinces of Canada. “When he-returned to Chicago, his paper was so pleased with his stories of life on the road that they gave him a position as traveling staff correspondent and instructed him to travel, as much as possible, in true hobo style.” For 4 years Leslie had traveled extensively on two continents and was employed by daily papers in New York, Chicago and San Francisco. At the time of the story he was “vacationing” in Nashville. “He says he enjoys traveling, but in all his trips he has never found a place that suited him as well as Michigan,” concluded the story. A letter received last week from Kenneth A. Meade,-a Nashville native now of Franklin, added an unusual note to our recent “Memories” story on the first armistice celebration in Nashville at the conclusion of the first World War in 1918. “Seems there was a false rumor that came through the week before and school let out early,” wrote Meade. “Of course it was closed when the real one (ar­ mistice) happened on November 11.” Enclosed with Meade’s letter was an August 1979 issue of the Edison Centennial News, a publication headlining the story of the first reunion in August of the 1929 Edison Scholars at West Orange, New Jersey. Philip W. Maurer, a former resident and graduate of Nashville’s Class of 1929, was one of the original “49ers” as they were called, as there were originally 49 scholars, one from each state in the union and the District of Columbia, all personally selected by the Many of us, afflicted as was Job, with miseries and misfortune, may wonder what significance Thanksgiving can have for us. If we will but realize that the trials of life; are intended by our Creator to foster the growth of com­ passion. .the growth and maturity of our own souls ..we will then be impelled to give praise and thanks­ giving, even in adversity.

More than 9,000 students had applied.

Nashville. Wednesday. November 21.1979 — Page 4 Memories of the pas Like the famous English­ man for whom he was named, Issac Newton Kellogg was a whiz at math Years later, the talented Nashville cabinetmaker would be remembered by his son Frank for an uncanny ability to solve complicated mathematical problems without benefit of pencil and paper. “Issac could do all kinds of math in his head,” explains Mrs. George (Janet) Kellogg By Susan Hinckley of Nashville, who recalls tales of her husband’s grandfather as recounted by her father-in-law, the late Frank Kellogg. “IN., as he was called, never measured angles,” noted Janet. “He could just close his eyes and visualize what was needed without using calipers to make the proper cut into a piece of lumber." “Issac’s mind was very attuned to what he saw,” she Young Frank Kelloggg admired his talented father, helped tend boiler at the mill, and soaked up knowledge and love of woodworking that led to a home building career. Only 13 at Issac's death, Frank was too young to assume operation of the mill alone. Here’s how to get that Long Distance number (and a free Personal Directory to keep it in) so you can dial it yourself and save. Michigan Bell added. Born in 1834, I. N. Kellogg migrated to Michigan from Oneida, New York. His wife Malvina died here in 1800 at the age of 42, after bearing eight children. Two years later Issac married Mary J. McKelvey of Maple Grove, and his “second family” consisted of three children: daughters Marian and Marguierite, and a son Frank. I. N. Kellogg had established a successful planing mill in a brick structure located just north of the Thornapple River Bridge, on the east side of Nashville’s Main Street (present-day site of George Kellogg residence, across from Putnam Park). There, from locally grown lumber, Issac fashioned fine furniture and ornate moldings and staircases which still grace many homes. With the help of a business partner, Issac was able to exhibit his wood­ working talents in a cen­ trally-located showroom. “The firm of Kellogg & Demaray are remodeling their building on South Main Street, preparatory to filling it with a stock of furniture,” advised the Nashville News in September 1878, only five years after the weekly paper had commenced publication. Janet Kellogg believes caskets were included in the inventory, as was a common practice with furniture manufacturers of that era. Not many folks alive today remember I. N. Kellogg, but most Nashville folks know a magnificent piece of his craftsmanship - the elegant open staircase that ascended to the upper floor of J. B. Kraft & Sons store (later Hannemann’s Dry Goods, then Line’s Dept. Store). The Kraft building is long since gone, having been replaced by the new post If you’ve ever forgotten how to get a needed phone number for a distant city — outside your own area code — you may want to clip this ad and keep it near your phone as a reminder.

Then, for Long Distance directory assistance, dial “1,” plus the area code for that city, then 555-1212. You will reach a Long Distance directory assistance operator who will give you the number.

Kellogg's Planing Mill was located just north of the Thornapple River bridge, on Kelloggs the east side of Main Street. Here Issac created fine furniture and ornate mouldings from native timber. After his death in 1898 the mill was briefly leased, but finally closed and demolished several years later. office constructed in 1966, but Issac’s staircase was too beautiful to destroy. Instead, the polished cherry, balustrade and newel were carefully dismantled by workmen and the staircase is still kept in storage by present owners of the building. Custom mouldings and furniture being his specialty, Issac usually worked with lumber brought to him by various clients seeking a particular style of trim or decor. Planing machinery at the mill sized rough boards down to correct dimensions. Issac usually hired a few hands to help fire the boiler which powered his wood­ working machinery. Frank was always at the mill on Saturdays and whenever possible to help with the boiler operation. “Frank admired his father whom he remembered as industrious, thrifty and a good businessman,” recalls Janet Kellogg. At the planing mill, young Frank soaked up a special knowledge and love of working with wood that helped him become a suc­ cessful home builder in later years. But Frank was still a babe when his inventive father was making a name for himself and Nashville. “I. N. Kellogg is working on a machine which is in­ tended to fill a long felt want in the cabinet shop,” advised the News in February 1887. “It is a machine for making glue joints accurately and expeditiously. Mr. Kellogg believes he has a good thing and will patent it.” And he did. As a growing lad, one of Frank’s happy daily tasks was to deliver a noon meal, prepared at home by his mother, to his father, who A whiz at math, Issac Newton Kellogg was a talented Nashville cabinetmaker who could close his eyes and visualize angles without measurement. He crafted natural woodwork for many magnificent local homes; is best remembered for an elegant cherry staircase in the old J. B. Kraft store. Thanksgiving Special HANGING BASKETS of BOSTON FERN...

Wednesday, November 21, 1979 — Page 5 Memories of the past continued New ‘energy help’ for elderly Frank Kellogg built this fine family home on the site of the old planing mill, about 20 years after his father’s death. He also constructed most homes on the North Main Street hill and several along Kellogg Street, a road deeded to the village by his mother Mary (right), shown about 1920 with daughter Marian Kellogg Nash and family. Frank also married, had two children, lived to age 84. chose not to leave his mill work for lunch. But one sad day in August 1898, young Frank, at age 13, had the dreadful experience of finding his father slumped over his workbench when he delivered his lunch. Frank quickly summoned aid, and Issac was carried home and a doctor called. At 64, I. N. Kellogg had suffered a stroke and was in a coma. He died three days later. Without Issac at the helm, the days of the Kellogg planing mill were numbered. Frank’s older half brothers were not interested in assuming operation of the business, and Frank was too young. “C. W. Rossman and Frank Mallett of Grand Rapids have leased the Kellogg planing and wood working mill,” the News announced in early Sep­ tember 1896. In time, the mill closed, the machinery sold and, later, the building was razed. By then Frank was a young man and had established himself as a skilled home builder. To his credit are several houses along Kellogg Street, a road constructed on Barry County Extension Service CALENDAR of EVENTS November 22 - Happy Thanksgiving November 26 - 4-H Christmas Tree sales begin, Courthouse lawn, Hastings November 26 - Farm Power Day, National Guard Armory, Grand Rapids November 28 - Barry County Nutrition Council, 1 p.m., Extension Office, Hastings November 20-1 - 4-H Craft Workshop No. 2, Kettunen Center, Tustin December 1 - Barry County Holstein Association Annual Dinner, Noon, Coats Grove Church building December 3- MAEH Council meeting, 1:30 p.m., Extension Office, Hastings December 3 - Dairy Ration Workshop, 12 noon-3 p.m., Community Building, Hastings December 5 - Grain Marketing meeting, 7:30-9:30 p.m., Community Building, Hastings December 6- MAEH Christmas Tea, 1:15 p.m., Community Building, Fairgrounds, Hastings December 6 Furniture Refinishing & Woodworking Workshop, 7:30-9:30 p.m., Kardel Hall, Fairgrounds, Charlotte December 7 - MABC Dairy Breeding Seminar, Holiday Inn, Sprinkle Road & 1-94, Kalamazoo December 11 - MABC Dairy Breeding Seminar, Hospitality Inn, Cascade Road & 1-96, Grand Rapids December 12 - DHIA Annual Dinner, Noon, Coats Grove church building Irene’s beauty shop 204 W.

On the site of his father’s demolished mill, Frank built a home for his family. In 1921 Frank married Gladys Willoughby and they had two children: George and Eleanor. In the basement oFThe Kellogg home (now occupied by George and his wife Janet) the original boiler and workbench of I. N. Kellogg’s planing mill still stand like silent sentinels of the past. In the home are several pieces of fine fur­ niture crafted from native walnut by I. N. Kellogg. But to his admiring young son, Issac left a legacy more precious than tangible goods. “Frank inherited his father’s ability to visualize something and create it,” noted Janet. “Once, on a trip to Jackson to visit his sister Marguierite, he found her living in a house that so impressed him he im­ mediately returned to Nash­ ville and built an identical dwelling bn Washington Street, using only a sketch he had made as a guide.” Today, Kellogg-built houses dot the village, rivaling older Nashville homes which still boast magnificent natural woodwork crafted by Frank’s father, Issac Newton Kellogg.

The decision was made by village officials at a special council meeting Thursday evening. “Local control is better,” declared trustee Lonny Kienutske. “I am not in favor of letting control (of the project) out of the village.” During an in­ formal meeting with Kienutske and other village officials Wednesday af­ ternoon, Robert Benzenski, a bond consultant with Benzenski & Co. of Detroit, had seemed to favor revenue bonding through the county DPW. Nine out of ten municipalities now go with county bonding, Village Clerk Susan Corkwell reported Benzenski had said at Wednesday’s meeting, which she attended with Village President Harold Christiansen and Leon Frith, head of Nashville’s Dept, of Public Works. Also present was Robert Hammel, bond attorney with Miller, Can­ field, Paddock & Stone, a Detroit law firm. “Under the county DPW agreement, if we could not make our payment on the debt they (the county) could come in and make us assess added millage or they could attach our revenues coming back from the state,” explained Kienutske at Thursday’s council meeting. “The county would be owners of the project; it would take away some of our local control.” Kienutske likened the situation to a land contract, Our Christmas Stock •. is nearly complete... • 4 i No extra Layaway Charges 10 to 20% deposit holds your selection! 4 J 1 This year - more than ever - it just makes good sense to shop close to home and...

Shop Kelley’s and SAVE!! with the county DPW being the title holder and the village being the purchaser. The advantages of county DPW backing for the project would be a reduction in local paperwork by the village clerk and an 80 cents per month savings for sewer users. However, from that savings would be deducted an as-yet-unspecified amount of county ad­ ministrative costs. With the county DPW assuming responsibility for the debt should Nashville default on the FmHA loan, the village would not be required to set aside a 10 percent reserve of the estimated annual project payment of approximately $173,000, a requirement for local control of the bonding issue. However, several council members stressed Thursday that the village would be accumulating rather sizeable interest earnings on this reserve over the life of the project and near the end of the contract the funds could be used to retire the debt. “I would hate to give any control to the county unless there were some advantages to it,” said trustee Ted Spoelstra, “and I can’t see that there are any.” He then moved to go with local revenue bonds to finance the balance of the new sewer project and was unanimously supported by the council. In other business relating to the sewer expansion, the council agreed Thursday to retain Hastings attorney David A. Dimmers to handle all necessary legal work for the project. Approval of a legal services agreement is required by FmHA as part of the financing package. Dimmers currently serves as Nashville’s village "at­ torney. Nashville’s $4.8 million sewer improvements are being paid with 80 percent grants offered by federal and state agencies, and Village Clerk Susan Corkwell an­ nounced Thursday that a check for $126,000.00 had been received from the U.S. Environment Protection Agency as partial land reimbursement costs for three parcels of the land the village must acquire to construct a new lagoon-andirrigation wastewater treatment facility on Brumm Road, northwest of the village.

Such was the case Tuesday when short, determined Maple Valley overcame the in­ surmountable obstacles called the Portland Red Raiders by the score of 35-28. Valley’s controlled offense left little room for error and Portland’s first two mistakes were turned into fast break buckets for the Lions. The visiting Raiders never came closer and Valley led by as many as 14 points early in the third period. Julie Barlow and Tuesday Aspinall each tallied 8 points in the first quarter to help give MV an 18-10 first quarter advantage over the stunned visitors. Valley held a 20-14 halftime advantage. Some key steals by Kathy Christopher helped Valley hold the powerful Raiders to only two points - both made from the free throw line - in the third quarter. Christopher had 5 steals for the night. Julie Barlow had 4 steals. The only cold spell for MV cafne in the fourth quarter. Valley could manage only 7 points while Portland scored 12, five of these made at the free-throw line. Tuesday Aspinall scored 18 points for the Lions and Julie Maple Valley Varsity Club sponsors Donkey Basketball The Maple Valley Varsity Club will sponsor the donkey basketball game Tuesday, November 27 at the high school gym.

Tickets are available at the high school or from any Varsity Club member. Barlow added 11 points. The victory marked the first defeat of Portland by a Valley girls basketball team. When Valley went to Montabella on Thursday, the euphoria of their big victory on Tuesday still surrounded them. This probably ac­ counted for the sluggish start by the Lions. The visitors trailed 23-31 at the half. The second half was completely different for Valley, as they came out strong and tallied a 24 point third quarter. Un­ fortunately, the Mustangs were able to keep up the pace and the game was decided in the last 9 seconds of the game. With the score tied, the Lions had the ball but were unable to get a shot up. Then a scramble after a loose ball brought a Lion foul. Pam Jorgensen of Montabella sank a free-throw which gave the host Mustangs a 64-63 victory. Co-captains Julie Barlow and Tuesday Aspinall each netted 22 points. Diane Cook added 10. Cook also pulled down 10 rebounds. Tuesday the Valley girls host Central Montcalm for Parents Night. Varsity game time is 8:00 p.m. The JV Girls lost to Por­ tland last night by a score of 36-14. High scorer was Tammy Teachworth with 3. High rebounder was Suzi Horn with 8. Vermontville bazaar features array of goodies November is a special month ... when little hearts begin to beat with excitement and anticipation ... when the winds begin to take on a chill ... and when churches, organizations and other groups start holding festive bazaars to mark the beginning of another holiday season.

Congressional families had been invited to greet the Pope and to hear his short address on the North Lawn. He had said earlier that morning at Andrews Air Force Base, “I am looking forward to meeting the leaders of this young and flourishing country.” I was eager to hear what his special words would be for America’s elected representatives, so we boarded one of the security-tight buses at the Capitol Building and were Another lucky hunter was Larry Hawblitz who escorted through the streets brought home this eight point buck he shot about 9:05 of Washington, D.C. We disembarked, entered a.m. in the Nashville area. the White House gates across from Lafayette Square, and looked for our pre-assigned seats: Seniority placed us in the back row, and alphabetical freshman seating placed us in the next to the last two chairs outranking only Congressman Wyatt of Texas! Then, unexpectedly, we were invited to move up toward the front to fill in empty seats. A freshman Member of Congress laughed and said, “A quick way to gain seniority!” At that moment the Marine Band fanfare sounded. We all stood and applauded. But no, it was Vice-President Mondale taking his place on the platform. Another trumpet blast. But no, this time it was the President’s family. And then, as the trumpeted salute continued, “Ladies and Fourteen-year-old Bob Brumm of Nashville downed Gentlemen, the President of this six point buck at 8:45 a.m. opening day with a 20 the United States and His gua'ge.

Being small, too, she couldn’t see over the crowd. Congressman Mike Barnes and I lifted her up onto my chair for a better view. Her face lit up with such a joy as she saw the Pope. “Oh, yes! I can see him. God bless him! ” Then she let out a happy, “Whooo!” that reminded me of the Pope’s own “Whooo!” as he had responded days earlier to the cheers of the youth in Madison Square Gardens. I was truly moved by her face. President Carter gave his beautiful welcome. Then the Pope spoke. What he said to our political leaders received scant attention in the press, but.

The board members voted to deny the grievance based upon the fact that this is a new position started after the master contractual agreement and is not the type covered by the master contract. The board members discussed a request from the Maple Valley Education Association to pay additional benefits under the Delta Dental Insurance program for the period October 1,1977 through September 1979. The conflict relates to coor­ dination of benefits for two subscribers enrolled under the same group policy. Coverage was paid ac­ cording to the contract written by MESSA delta dental program which is in conflict with the master agreement with the teachers. This situation actually involves eight teachers. The request from the Maple Valley Education Association was denied by the board members with Virginia Fox and Robert Dormer voting nay. The present delta dental plan through MESSA provides for coordination of benefits. The board members voted that the negotiation com­ mittee for the ad­ ministrators be disbanded and that the full board be involved in deciding the administrator salaries and that the salaries and benefits as presented by the com­ mittee be denied. Robert Dormer and Wayne Cogswell voted nay. The board members held an executive session to discuss ad­ ministrator ’ salaries.

Brumm, a Nash­ ville native now of Charlevoix, included an amusing anec­ dote about the late Frank Russell, longtime Nashville village engineer. We hope to use Mr. Brumm’s story in a planned “Memories” feature on Russell. Again we ask readers to check their old albums to see if any have a picture of this man, who has become somewhat of a local legend. Incidentally, our recent appeal for photos of the late Mary White resulted in eight being offered, three of which were used in the recent story. Our thanks to Alice Fuller Mar­ shall, Dick Mason and Joyce Dawson Baker for responding to that call for help. Mrs. Bertha Becker was a recent weekend guest of her granddaughter and family, Glenda and Roger Hardenburg at Eagle.

At noon Wednesday several gathered for a potluck dinner at the V.F.W. hall here. Turkey and dressing were prepared and furnished for the event by Mrs. Mary Townsend of Hastings, president of the Nashville Senior Citizens organization. Next month, the group plans a Christmas potluck dinner at the local United Methodist Community House. On Friday evening members of Nash­ ville’s Senior Citizen Nutrition Site enjoyed a potluck Thanksgiving dinner at the Masonic Temple site. Red caps, flannel shirts and hunting jacks were popular garb in our village last Thursday as many area residents participated in the opening day of deer hunting season. Some went north, but many stayed in this area- to seek their trophy in our rural regions and several flocked to the local eating places at noon. One hunter who bagged his deer in the morning hours Thursday was Larry Hawblitz, a former resident now of Battle Creek, who was hunting with his brother Blair in Maple Grove Township. Before noon, Larry was in town with an 8-point buck atop his auto. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Vern Hawblitz of Nashville, Larry is a 1955 NHS grad and was one of the 99 runners who participated in Nashville’s recent 6.2 mile Harvest Festival race.

Initial amendments included one which would prohibit supervisory employees from belonging to teachers’ unions; it failed. TABS FOR SALE: Passenger vehicle license plate tabs for 1980 are now on sale at Secretary of State offices throughout Michigan.

ERA OPINION - The Attorney General has ruled that state department directors may not prohibit employees from travelling to states which have not ratified the Equal Rights Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. 35 of a required 38 states have ratified. WAYNE COUNTY - Now in the House is SB 652, which provides for reorganizing Wayne County government to include a strong county executive and accountability at all levels. Governor Milliken has insisted on reorganization before approving any more financial aid to the county. Meanwhile, a Detroit Senator has urged instead a two-mill property tax increase there. ESSENTIAL INSURANCE - The Governor has now signed into law SB 428, which I opposed. This bill guarantees the availability of automobile and homeowners’ insurance in all but a few cases. This was partly required by the Supreme Court to make our no-fault auto insurance law con­ stitutional ; also, it restores fault to auto accidents, allowing drivers to sue others for up to $400 for damage. However, this law will increase your rate some 4 percent to 8 percent. REFUGEE NUMBER - Governor Milliken is organizing a special Michigan volunteer effort to help get food and medical supplies to Indochinese refugees in camps in Thailand. Many existing groups are helping with this; in­ formation can be obtained by calling 800-221-2870, toll-free. GAS DOWN - The Energy Department has reported that gasoline consumption in Michigan has been dropping ever since February and now stands at 4 percent below last year. Presuming this positive trend continues, we will feel little or no effects from the Iranian oil cutoff. FAMILY WEEK - November 18 through 24 has been designated as “Family Week in Michigan,” calling attention to society’s most fundamental social institution.

Settling down to a traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings was an educational and fun experience for the Pilgrims and the Indians (for a day) in Miss Harns first grade class at Fuller Elementary School. With excitement and hearty appetites, they devoured a meal Monday that included turkey, dressing, cranberry sauce, rolls, corn, carrot sticks, and pumpkin pie. The children enjoyed helping to prepare their feast including the baking of pumpkin pies on Friday. The first graders also made Pilgrim hats and Indian headdresses for the occasion and studied about the first American Thanksgiving cele­ brated by the Plymouth colonists and the Wampanoag Indians in 1621.

Watching ice cream being made was another highlight for the students when Mrs. Hansen brought in her ice cream maker. Tasting the delicious treat capped off an interesting session. Basics were included in the total lesson plan too, with the class studying the fourfood groups and the five nutrients. SHOP EARLY While Supplies are available! USE OUR CONVENIENT...

Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) The Maple Valley News, Vol. 107, No, 27 — Wednesday. November 28, 1979 Annual ‘coloring contest’ has a homespun twist this year— Festive Christmas is planned! A host of Christmas ac­ tivities are sure to make the season merry and local shopping appealing to community residents this year as the Nashville Chamber of Commerce gears up for a festive holiday for you. Santa Claus will be coming to town in a 10 a.m. parade set for Saturday, December 8. The line-up will step off at Putnam Park, continue through the downtown district and end at Railroad Street. It has also been suggested that local elementary youngsters be invited to accompany the parade as they carry homemade Christmas tree decorations they have created. Then, the children c.ould pause at Central Park and add their individual ornaments to the giant-sized pine tree to be errected there by the Chamber through the generosity of Timothy and Alice Boucher who have donated a tree from their property. Churches, organizations and individuals are en­ couraged to participate in the parade with holiday floats and other types of seasonal entries, say parade co-chairmen Dave Mace and Chamber President Charles Andrus, Jr. Art students at Maple Valley High School will construct papier-mache cartoon heads for use in the parade. The Chamber-sponsored Christmas promotion will conclude with a "treasure hunt” planned for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday December 13-15. When you’re planning your local Christmas shopping expedition, here are several surefire steps to make smoother shopping: —Write a complete list of all the people you plan to give a gift...remember, the kids’ teachers, babysitter, your hairstylist, the post­ man, etc. —Keep your list in an envelope marked. "Christ­ mas” in your handbag. Into the same envelope goes any size information you might need, as well as ads you’ve come across on special items. —Bring along a roomy tote bag made of material that will withstand wetness. This eliminates the need to go back and forth to the car with your packages. —Wear comfortable shoes. —Stop at one of the local resturants for a snack or meal to pamper yourself while you mull over your list for more ideas or for some quick energy after busy hours. When it comes to giving gifts, creativty can help stretch your Christmas spending dollars. These are just a few starters to help you come up with even more creative notions: A great gift for teachers might be a colorful little tin box filled with fresh nuts and accompanied by the message — “We’re nuts about you!” Write a note on the top of the box that says “Glove ’n Kisses” and inside the recipient will discover a warm pair of wool gloves and a package of candy kisses. What teenaged female could resist a purse-sized make-up mirror with a card reading “You’re the fairest of them all!” Fill a new jewlry box with all sorts of baubles, bangles, and beads. Give your daughter-in-law a lovely datebook — with birthday and anniversary dates you’ve already filled iif. (And, maybe a card reading, “So Uncle Lester won’t forget you in his will!”) Got a sentimentalist on your list?~ How about a candlestick with a single candle and a card that says “To the light of ray life”...or The annual Christmas Coloring Contest in this issue of the Maple Valley News has a new look this year. Children up to 12 years of age are invited to dress-up local stores and businesses with a holiday flair by using crayons or colored pencils to color the sketches of the buildings featured in the contest by participating establishments. Children are encouraged to add their own creative touch to the sketch by designing seasonal window or storefront decorations for the buildings a set of china teacups, a box of exotic tea, and the note “You’re my cup of tea!” Fill a new modern wooden salad bowl with bright red apples and a pretty plaid bow. Give your husband that watch he needs with a note, “My time is your time!” How about a set of scented drawer sachets (buy a potpourri, some pretty fabric and ribbons, and make your own)...a new cookie jar chock full of chocolate chip cookies...a picture in a frame with, “I love the look of you!” Get the idea? The possibilities are endless. Plus local merchants have all the latest gift items that are sure to be popular with everyuile ori your list. pictured. The sketches are the work of Virginia Alles, advertising representative for the Maple Valley News and Reminder. A total of 36 gift cer­ tificates (or equal value) will be awarded to contest winners.

Nashville Wednesday November 28 1974 - Page 2 Nashville News Symbols of both the beauty and spirit of Christmas were evidenced in Nashville last week. Main Street took on a gala holiday air as lamp post decorations were put in place by members of the village’s DPW crew. With the addition of four new ornaments purchased this past summer by the local Chamber of Commerce, there are now a sufficient number of decorations to adorn all the lamp posts lining the business district. The Chamber’s goal for Christmas 1980 is to purchase a new lighted holiday strand to span Main Street. Santa’s House also arrived on Nashville’s Main Street last week, thanks to Lewie Schulze who transported it to Central Park. Built several years ago by Eunice and Lloyd Priddy of rural Nashville, Saint Nick’s headquarters have brightened many past holidays for local youngsters. This year the house will receive a new coat of paint, thanks to Mike Slocum and friends. And Central Park will soon have a giant-sized Christmas tree, compliments of Timothy and Alice (Pennock) Boucher who have offered to donate one from their property south of town. The Chamber of Commerce had issued a public appeal for such a donation, through a notice published in the Maple Valley News last week. Members ofthe organization will cut and transport the tree from Boucher’s property to downtown Nashville, where the giant pine will be a significant feature of a Chamber-sponsored Christmas parade at 10 a.m. Saturday, December 8. Children of the community are being asked to fashion homemade ornaments for the huge Christmas tree to be placed in Central Park. The youngsters are invited to ac­ company the parade entourage, which will commence at • NOTICE • Deadline for filing nominating petitions for Village President, Clerk, Treasurer, Assessor and (3) Two Year Term Trustees will be TUESDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1979 at 4:00 p.m. Petitions must be filed with the Nashville Village Clerk. Nomination petitions are available at the Village Clerk's Office. SUSAN M. CORKWELL, Nashville Village Clerk When the bereaved family first meets the funeral direc­ tor, probably at the funeral hotne, they may question whether he truly feels their sorrow. His businesslike actions at times may appear cold, yet his profession, like that of the doctor, requires that he be reserved for thd good of those he serves. The grief of a family that has just lost a loved one is very poignant, and a funeral director is affected by it, ias is any other sensitive human being. V 'Voqt FUNERAL DIRECTORS FUNERAL HOME in Nashville Phone 852-0840 By Susan Hinckley Putnam Park and stop enroute to allow the children to addtheir individual decorations to the mammoth pine in the park. The younger set will also be encouraged to get into a creative holiday spirit with this issue of the Maple Valley News, by entering a coloring contest featuring sketches of various local stores and business places. Prizes will be of­ fered in two age categories. Children are asked to color the drawings and add their own individual touch by designing window or storefront Christmas decorations for the buildings pictured. The finished art work is to be submitted to the various participating stores, where the winners will be selected. Children may color as many of the drawings as they desire. (Complete rules of the contest appear elsewhere in this issue.) The clever drawings are the “brainchild” and handiwork of Virginia Alles, sales representative of the Maple Valley News, who sketched the buildings through slide projection. Even adults may find an irresistible urge to pick up the old “crayolas” for this issue, which may become a keepsake - especially for local folks now living miles away from home. The Christmas parade, chaired by Dave Mace arid Chamber of Commerce president Charles Andrus, Jr., needs holiday floats and other types of seasonal entries. Churches, organizations and individuals are encouraged to take part in this festive event. Santa is expected to arrive in Nashville at parade time, December 8. The Christmas gathering of the Cloverleaf Class of the Nashville United Methodist Church will be held at the Community House at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, December 6. There will be a potluck dessert luncheon and gift exchange. Too busy to bake your own favorite holiday goodies? A bake sale with a new twist will let the Friends of the Library do it for you, and even offer home delivery of the goods. From December 1 .through December 15 the FOL will be taking orders for custom baking by organization members, as an ongoing fund-raiser for their various planned projects for Putnam Public Library. Customers may place orders by calling the library during their open hours or Mrs. Dennis Hay, chairperson of the event. Please allow about four days for preparation and delivery of the order. The baked goods can be delivered no later than December 20, in order to allow FOL members time for their own last-minute holiday tasks. Librarian La Duska Sheldon has already placed her order with the FOL: molasses cookies to be baked by Ruth Brown who, according to Mrs. Sheldon, bakes the most delicious molasses cookies she has ever eaten. Does your family have an unusual holiday tradition? Do you have a creche or other Christmas decor that has been handed down for several generations or that has a unique history? If so, please call this reporter as we would like to share your story with our readers. The Maple Valley News staff is seeking local subjects for photographs and features about traditional family Yuletide observances.

Miss Alice Fisher of Nashville suffered a double loss recently in the death of a brother and a sister, just ten days apart. Her brother, Otto Fisher, 84, of Coldwater, died as he was riding in an auto driven by his brother Leo. Otto was stricken as they were nearing Tekonsha. Alice was called to Coldwater for his funeral service November 10, and returned to Nashville the following Tuesday. Her brother, Leo, brought her home, then drove on to Charlevoix to bring back Dorothy Edmonds, who had beep staying there with her nephew, Max Hosmer. While Leo was in Charlevoix, he received a call from Alice advising that their sister, Mrs. Peter (Jennie) Van Dyke, 82, also of Coldwater, had passed away. Leo and Dorothy immediately returned to Nashville, and Alice again went to Coldwater for the funeral service last Monday for her sister.

It was David’s first deer and although he had a doe permit, he bypassed three that crossed his path just ahead of the buck. Incidentally, the opening of firearms deer hunting season in Michigan poses a special threat to motorists as the animals move across busy highways. The prevalence of cardeer collisions is on the increase. Drivers are cautioned to be extra alert now for deer crossing roadways in this area and throughout the state. “Hanging of the greens,” an annual custom of decorating the Nashville United Methodist Church'for Christmas holidays, will take place Sunday, December 2. The entire congregation will participate in the traditional event after a noon potluck dinner in the Community House, following the morning worship service. Earlier in the day, at 7:30 a. m. the men of the church will gather for a breakfast in the Com­ munity House to preceed the morning service. Good news and special cause for Thanksgiving is the recent return home of several local folks who have been confined in various hospitals. Mrs. Byron (Marie) Clucky of rural Nashville has been released from Hayes-Green-Beech Hospital in Charlotte. Otto Dahm of Nashville is home and reports improved vision after recent corneal implant surgery at Community Hospital in Battle Creek. And Mrs. Vico (Azalia) Spidel of Nashville returned home last week after a few days confinement at Pennock in Hastings. We are also happy to report that Rev. Lloyd Mead, a Nashville area native most recently of St. Petersburg, Florida, was able to enter the Barry County Medical Care Facility last week having improved sufficiently from a recent bout of illness which had landed him in Pennock Hospital. The former Barryville area Methodist pastor and his wife, Lola, recently moved from their retirement home in Florida to enter the BCMCF here. Mr. and Mrs. Burton Ebersole, former Nashville area residents now of Green Cove Springs, Florida, arrived in Michigan last week to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with their family. They are visiting at the home of their daughter and son-in-law, Betty and Kendal Wilcox of Nashville, where they were entertained for Thanksgiving dinner aloNngA wMith Mr. and Mrs. Tim (Bessie) Smith and daughters of Nash­ ville; Mr. and Mrs. Burt Ebersole of Potterville; arid Mr. and Mrs. Jerry (Mary) Sessions and daughters, and Ginger Sessions, all of Nashville.

Memories of the past A sage far ahead of his time was Cassius L. Glasgow, longtime Nashville hardware man and highly respected state politician. “C. L. Glasgow explains that the increased use of gasoline stoves is respon­ sible for the increase in the price of gasoline,” observed the Nashville News in June 1905. Glasgow undoubtedly knew what he was talking about. Stoves of all kinds Wood burners, kerosene and gasoline fueled were standard items in his merchandising line. Glasgow also sold farm implements, fringed surreys and furniture, a feature added to his store in 1896, just fifteen years after the young Hillsdale County man arrived in Nashville to purchase Charles C. Wolcott’s thriving hardware business. “C. C. Wolcott has sold his hardware and real estate to C. L. Glasgow of Jonesville, the real estate for $3,500. and stock at wholesale inventory,” disclosed the News in August 1881. “Glasgow is an able youngish man, who has three years experience in the wholesale hardware business and five years in the retail end.” Cassius Glasgow was born on a Hillsdale County farm in 1858 of Scoth-Irish paren­ tage. Educated at Jonesville schools and Hillsdale College, his first employment was clerking at a Jonesville hardware. Later getting “Western fever,” Cassius left his native state and ended up at Sioux City, Iowa, working as an assistant bookkeeper and billing clerk in a wholesale hardware business there. Called home a year later by the illness of his mother, Cassius eventually migrated to Nashville in 1881, pur­ chased the Wolcott store, established himself in business, and returned to Jonesville the following year just long enough to claim Matie C. Miller as his bride. Glasgow’s Nashville en­ terprise continued to grow and prosper, and after a few years Cassius set about having built an elegant village home (now the residence of Dr. and Mrs. Thomas Myers). “Work on C. L. Glasgow’s new house on the corner of Washington and Queen Streets is progressing rapidly,” reported the News in July 1899. Glasgow’s unquestioned By Susan Hinckley honesty and frankness, and his open manner in treat­ ment of his customers soon won him a host of friends and helped build up a large trade. He was soon regarded as one of the brightest and best businessmen in the county. Meeting early transportation needs ac­ counted for much of his success. . “C. L.

Yerty bought a sump­ tuous new surrey with fringed top. Glasgow made the sale.” In 1906, the summer after Glasgow made his profound observation about the rising price of gasoline, his ad­ vertisement in the News boasted, ‘‘Buggies, and extra good ones, fancy trimmed and nicely proportioned, only $39.90 at Glasgow Hardware.” Astute businessman aside, Cassius Glasgow’s talent foreshadowed greater things. He had leadership abilities that were destined to carry him into the higher world of state politics. Locally, Glasgow had served as Nashville’s village president, once by ap­ pointment and once by election without opposition, but he was never an office seeker in any sense of the word until 1902. Then, at a state senatorial convention, he received the unanimous nomination of delegates from the 15th district, comprised of Barry and Eaton Counties. Once elected to the Michigan Senate, Glasgow made such a successful record on the floor and in the committee rooms that he was again unanimously nominated two Continued on next page— • NOTICE • There will be a public hearing on December 13, 1979 at 6:30 P.’iT'".?* Castleton Township to discuss amendments to the Nashville Zoning Ordinance.

Home Economist No-Nitrite Meats Hotdogs, frankfurters, weiners - whatever you call that all­ American favorite, take a moment next time you buy them and read the label, suggests Eaton Extension home economist Ann Ross. Why’ Because the product may be different than the one you’re used to buying. If the frankfurters are labeled “uncured”, they , don’t contain nitrite and are more perishable than those with nitrites. The U.S. Dept. of Agriculture recently ap­ proved the use of common names for nitrite-free frank­ furters, bacon, corned beef, ham and other processed meat products. Under the rules, these no-nitrite products must be labeled “uncured” “UNCURED FRANKS”, for example -- so you will easily determine which ones you are buying. They will be sold in retail grocery stores along with their familiar nitrite-cured counterparts. Nitrite helps give the products their distinctive taste and color, and it also helps preserve them. For example you can keep “uncured” frankfurters, bacon or corned beef in the refrigerator only four to seven days - not two to three weeks, which is safe for the nitrite-cured franks, bacon and corned beef. The new rules for labeling uncured , products also require the statement “No Nitrite or Nitrite Added”, and if no alternative method of preservation such as drying, thermal processing or pickling is used, the label must bear the warning, “Not Preserved--Keep Refrigerated Below 40 degrees F. At All Times.” Don’t let uncured bacon or frankfurters sit on the table dispensing with him, and for a great many years, since Mr. Glasgow has been in public life and away from home much of the time, Mr. Zuschnitt nas been not only the bookkeeper but the man in charge of the business during the absence of the proprietor,” noted an article marking Henry’s- 40th year in the store. Twenty years later in 1935, two years after C. L. Glasgow’s death, Henry was still on the job. “Still active in the hard­ ware and implement business conducted by the C. L.

Glasgow was also past president of the local Chamber of Commerce and an active member of both the Masonic, and Knights of Pythias lodges. When he died just two months short of his 76th birthday, Nashville residents were “saddened beyond measure,” reported the News, as word of Glasgow’s death traveled through the village and countryside. A state publication NAME eulogized the man:. “One could not come in contact ADDRESS with him without feeling that he was in the presence of a true gentleman,” it said. “His aim was to do right; to stand for right; and to be kind to all.

Thornapple who is a new permanent fixture outside the store. (Maple'Valley News photo by Virginia Alles) NAME There’s a new guy in town who’s the subject of a lot of stares and attention these days. He can be seen towering above the cars parked along Nashville’s Main Street in front of the Thornapple General Store. He doesn’t seem to mind if folks stop to stare or point though because that’s the whole idea of his ap­ pearance. The 8*6 foot tall figure (including platform) on the sidewalk at 201 N. Main St. is General Beauregard E. Thornapple, a painted plywood replica of an early Tobacconist figure. His military attire is that of a marine from the period of 1860-90 Hastings attorney David Dimmers is General Thornapple’s creator. His wife, Carolyn, is the storekeeper at the unique old-fashioned country store which opened this fall. The Thonapple General Store has become a family project for the Dimmers. “In early days of general stores, it was customary to have such figures as a general. Punch the Clown, or the traditional cigar store Indian out front. This was done to attract more at­ tention to the store,” com­ ments Dimmers. He spent about 15 hours creating Qeneral Thornappie — first copying a pattern from a book of early drawings, then drawing it to scale, cutting out the plywood, and painting it.

November 28 1979 — Page 12 A weekly Report from; Senator 292^94 Senator Allen explains position on essential insurance bill It’s very difficult for the public to follow a Senator’s voting record and know for sure what his position has 1 been on specific issues. As a matter of fact, it’s even difficult for a Senator to know at times! Take the essential in­ surance bill for instance. It was recently signed into law by the Governor. I don’t think the law will do the citizens of our Senate district any good. In its final form I don’t expect major costs to us but there may be some. And some aspects of the law I think will be ad­ ministratively cufnbersome. So, I opposed the bill. At least I thought I did. Now some people who object to the new law are criticizing me for supporting it. Maybe they have a point. Maybe. Here’s how it went. The essential insurance bill in its original form prohibited using residence as a basis for rate setting shifting high costs from urban areas where costs and rates are high to non-urban areas with currently lower rates. Naturally, most of us from outstate Michigan opposed the bill but it passed both houses with votes to spare. There were slight dif­ ferences between the House and Senate versions with the Senate version less damaging. Under these circumstances a joint committee with three members from each hodse work out the differences and present a conference report which must be accepted by both houses for the bill to be presented to the Governor. On the last evening before summer recess a conference committee report was being prepared much along the Auto Service Center TUNE-UP FOR MORE MILEAGE The best way to get maximum mileage from your gasoline is to keep your engine in tune.

Main St., Vermontville — 7-26-0569 lines of the House version. It was expected to easily pass both houses as the bill had. But the Republicans in the Senate, in a surprise maneuver utilizing four sympathetic Democrats and the Lt. Governor, adjourned the session before the vote. That gave us two months but little hope. After all the bill had passed easily. How could we hope to prevent a disastrous conference committee report from passing? But we went to work. The Senate Republicans put a good young attorney on our staff and two of our most intelligent members to work on the problem, Inusrance companies doing a lot of business in outstate Michigan joined in. A new conference report was drawn up that eliminated the prohibition of differential rates between urban and rural areas. It did provide for zones with no more than a 10 percent change across each line. But the zones could be small, were left up to the companies and could provide for major differences, over 200 percent between urban and outstate areas. While some objectionable provisions remained,' the new proposal saved outstate citizens millions of dollars over the original bill that passed.-We went vigorously to work to convince suf­ ficient Democrats they should support the changes. Insurance companies and outstate legislators threatened a petition drive if the new version was not accepted. We won! Or at least I thought we did. Now some tell me I shouldn’t have supported any conference report as that is the final vote that sends a bill to the Governor. And that’s true. If we could have prevented any con­ ference report from passing until the end of the session, December 3, 1980, the new Act would not have gone into affect. Could that have been done? I doubt it. I’ve,, never seen it happen in my career here. Furthermore, on this particular issue, we had a Supreme Court decision saying we had to take some action. But that’s a judgment call. My judgment. Your judgment. Who’s to know for sure? Nashville News continued— November 19. Present for Thanksgiving day dinner with Mrs. Johncock and son Doug were: Mr. and Mrs. Larry (Suzy) Corkwell and daughters of Nashville; Mr. and Mrs. Tom (Janet) Thornton and daughters of Assyria; and Mr. and Mrs. Dick (Shire) Johncock and children of Hastings.

Sports M.V. girls end regular season Valley girls ended their regular basketball season here Tuesday night with a 49­ 47 victory over Central Montcalm for Parents Night. The Lions jumped off to a 11-4 first quarter lead and never trailed in the game. The only real threat to the Valley lead came in the final quarter when the hosts were unable to connect on several key lay-ups and the Hornets used the opportunity to close the scoring gap. Central came within one point, 44-43, of Valley with 3:22 to play. Neither team could connect until Lion Tuesday Aspinall scored on a lay-up with 1:50 remaining to be played. Julie Barlow finally put the game out of reach with two free-throws with 1:27 to be played. Much of Central’s scoring came at the free-throw line where they hit on 21 of 37. MV was 13 of 27 from the charity stripe. Tuesday Aspinall led all scorers with 23 points. Melissa Coffman and Julie Barlow led the defense with 6 and 5 steals respectively. Diane Cook grabbed 9 rebounds and Lori Decker 8. The next step for the Lion girls will be Wednesday at Olivet as they begin district tournament play. They will meet the winner of the Middleville-Bellevue game played on Monday night. Game time Wednesday will be 8:30 p.m. At Monday’s awards banquet, Tuesday Aspinall and Julie Barlow were co most valuable player recognition. The girls co­ captained the team for the season. Tuesday holds 3 varsity records including Send For Free Booklet ‘100% Bran New Recipes’ most steals in one game, 13; best field goal percentage in one game, 64 percent; and as a 3 year letter winner on the varsity, holds the career scoring record. Julie shares the field goal percentage record with Tuesday and has the record for most steals in one season. The team also set two scoring marks. They scored 64 points against Carson City for the most points scored in one game and also tallied 26 points in one quarter for a new record. Also honored for their contributions to the girls basketball program were seniors Joyce Warner and Kathy Christopher. Joyce has given many hours of volunteer service to the 5th and 6th grade girls program which has been much ap­ preciated.

A dozen do-it-yourself items that can be checked in a half-hour or less by any motorist are called the key to carefree driving this winter by Automobile Club of Michigan. With approximately 40 percent of Michigan motorists pumping their own gasoline, it’s important they take charge of car care to keep vehicles running properly. “Even full-service station attendants often neglect to check major items under the hood necessary for troublefree motoring,” states Robert M. Smith, Auto Club’s Emergency Road Service manager. Armed with a tirepressure gauge, screwdriver and an inexpensive device used for checking antifreeze strength, any motorist can make the following dozen pre-winter checks: - Maintain motor oil level.

A screwdriver is needed to pry off the clip that holds the cover of the brake fluid chamber. - Test for fan belt tension and look for fraying. Press your thumb on the middle of each drive belt. If the belt gives more than a half-inch, have it tightened or replaced. Power steering fluid level can be checked on a dipstick similar to the oil. To avoid overfilling, add proper fluid gradually and test the level several times. Check the radiator’s coolant level and strength of antifreeze. Some cars have overflow tanks were the level can be checked visually. Strength of antifreeze can be checked easily with a radiator hydrometer. Drain, flush and refill the radiator every two years with a 50-50 solution of antifreeze and water. Check radiator hoses and connections for leaks. - Check the automatic transmission fluid with a dipstick located just behind the engine on the passenger side of most cars. The car should be parked on a level grade with the engine run­ ning. - replace worn windshild wipers. -- Check tires for pressure with a gauge and check tread wear. Don’t forget to check the spare. - Turn on all lights and turn signals to make sure they operate. Smith advises motorists to make those checks on a All the procedures can be performed on a cold, non­ running engine with the exception of the automatic transmission fluid. Perusal of the owner’s manual will provide the motorist with recommended intervals for other maintenance steps. “A properly maintained automobile does not need to be winterized,” Smith states. “But, a car that has been neglected should have a complete pre-winter tune-up by a professional mechanic.” Smith also suggests motorists turn on heaters and defrosters to make sure they work and check the exhaust system for leaks or corrosion. “Of course, there’s more to keeping a vehicle per­ forming than these basic tests. Air conditioning, wheel alignment and brakes should be checked periodically by an expert,” he says. “If motorists perform preventive checks on a regular basis, they will steer clear of huge repair bills and inconveniences during another unpredictable Michigan winter,” says Smith.

Harvest machinery should be prepared early in the season to allow plenty of time to order parts and make proper adjustments. This can prevent last-minute time losses and carelessness caused by hurrying. Always block machines^ to work on them do not rely on hydraulics to support the header’s weight. Certain field preparations are also important. Stones, stumps and ditches that are easy to see at planting time may be hidden by the corn and should be marked or removed before harvest. When a combine hits one of these, down time for repairs puts pressure on the operator to catch up. A good weed control program is also an im­ portant safety factor which many people don’t recognize. Weeds tend to plug machines and cause delays which increase hurrying and fatigue. Be sure all PTO shields and guards are in place before going to the field. Make sure everyone is clear of the machine before you start up and move. Machinery operators should wear snug but comfortable clothing when working and keep hands and feet away from moving parts. If an adjustment has to be made in the field, turn the engine off before getting off and wait for all moving parts to stop completely. Slowmoving parts may still have enough momentum to shear a finger. Avoid exceeding the machines capacity by running at too high ground speed.

To prevent fatigue in the field, wear ear muffs or plugs around noisy machines and take frequent breaks. Adverse conditions require •special precautions. When harvesting under extremely dry conditions, check frequently for overheated bearings and accumulation of dry chaff. Always have a UL-rated, dry chemical fire extinguisher (rated 2AZOBC or higher) mounted on the combine or tractor. -If wet conditions occur, use special equipment, such as wide tires and half-tracks. Avoid low spots that are muddy and weedy. Come back to them later, if possible. On hillsides, drive slowly and always maintain con­ trol. If space permits, make large, looping turns and avoid attempting to shift gears when going up or down hills. When unloading grain from a combine, be sure the auger is free to swing. Keep fingers away from pinch points. Unloading should be done on level ground so the auger can be handled easily. No one should be in the grain tank when the auger is running. If grain bridges, stop the auger and shut offthe engine before attempting to free the grain. Run elevators and augers at the correct speed. When grain is flowing into or out of a bin, stay out. Wear a dust mask when handling dusty or moldy grain. Always use a safety rope and harness when breaking a grain bridge. Before entering a silo, remember to run the blower for 20 minutes to remove any hazardous gas present. If you suspect gas is still present when you enter, wear self-contained breathing apparatus. Whenever operating farm machinery on public roads, make sure a bright SMV emblem is in place. Use the equipment’s flashing lights and headlights whenever possible. Remember that slowing a combine1 too rapidly tends to raise the rear wheels and steering ability may be lost. Foresight and alertness on the part of the operator can keep machine and operator out of potentially dangerous situations.

Comments from her trip to Switzerland and the types of goats she observed, added an interesting note to her program. According to Dr. Baumgardner, the interest in dairy goats is rapidly growing. This is because it’s possible to raise several goats on a small parcel of land and for a source of milk they are easier and cheaper to keep than a cow. Goats may also be used for driving carts, as pack animals' and companions, and as a source of meat. For more information on dairy goats, contact the Eaton County Cooperative Extension Service.

Projects will involve development of the park and playground at the proposed Riverside Park, in­ corporating barrrier-free designs at Putnam Library, and implementing street improvements, he said. Monday was Reid’s first day on the job. He is working under the direction of Barry County Grants Coordinator Sylvia Dulaney in her Hastings office where he may be reached at 945-5121 Nashville Brownies and Girl Scouts complete Christmas project Wearing Brownie smiles as they pose with the stockings and other Christmas goodies which will make Christmas merrier for gther children are Kristen Brzycki, Nina Crabtree, Marci Goodner, Stacy Miller, Stacy Travis, Jennifer Svoboda, Cindy Kesler, Jill Langer, Shannon Pufpaff, Fran House, Pam Williams, Tanya Tilley, Robin Smith and Patty Jarman, The Brownies and the Girl Scouts combined their talents to make the stockings and other fun things to stuff them with like jump ropes, marble bags, yarn dolls, pom pom chickens, bags -of candy, toy caterpillars, and more. The stockings will be on display at Johnson's Furniture. In the true spirit of Christmas giving, Nashville Brownie Troop 221, under the direction of leader Kathy Bryzcki, and Girl Scout Troop 730, with leader Bea Pino at the help, have been as busy as Santa's elves making sure that 35 area children will each have a bright red stocking full of handmade toys and candy. The stockings are to be donated to the United Methodist Church which will distribute them to Nashville area children. Participating Girl Scouts display their Christmas sharing project in the photo and include Heather Dull, Amy Kellogg, Denise Jarman, Kris Burd, Tracy House, Ronda Steinbrecker, Stepanie Langer, Lora Kienutske, Dina James, Wendy Thompson, Jodi Spidel, Penny Ruthruff, Sissy Adams, and Sonya Thompson. for more information and consideration in the home rehabilitation phase of the project. Reid was selected for the new $10,500 position by the Finance Committee of the Barry County Board of Commissioners. His salary will be paid with administrative HUD grant funds. A native of Hastings, Reid, an honor student, graduated from Hastings High School in 1969. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Reid of Hastings. The new community development assistant earned a bachelor of arts degree in sociology at Southern California College in 1973. Reid, 28, and his wife, Joyce, have a two and onehalf year old son, Justin Matthew. They moved from California in June of 1978 and now reside on W. Bond Street in Hastings. He was a fifth grade teacher in California from September of 1975 through June of 1978 and also served as athletic director for grades four through eight. A former minister at a United Methodist Church in Hart for about a year, Reid later served as director of Communications for Faith Tech in Scottsville where he was in charge of video­ taping, cassette recording, and the monthly newsletter. Most recently he has been employed as a correction officer with the Barry County Sheriff Department, supervising inmates and handling other jail duties. The tenure of his new position is expected to be beyond the two years of the immediate project, providing that grants are forthcoming, as anticipated for the Irving. Freeport, Woodland, and Middleville areas. Steven Reid, new community development assistant, looks over the plan for the $405,000 community block grant'for the Nashville-Castleton and Maple Grove Townships areas.

Be sure arid mark these dates on your calendar: Students from Fuller Street andKellogg Elementary Schools will be performing at 7 p.m. Tuesday, December 18 in the high school gym. Maplewood Elementary students will present their program at 7 p.m. Wed­ nesday, December 19 at-f- the high school gym. Mrs. Patricia Reinbold will be the director of both of these events. See you there! �The Maple Valley News Nashville. Wednesday. December 5, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News Does your family celebrate Christinas in a unique way, or do you own a creche or other seasonal decor that has been handed down through several generations? Is your holiday menu somewhat out of the ordinary? Perhaps it is prepared from favorite recipes passed from great-grandmothers to the present generation. If so. we would like to hear from you. The Maple Valley News Staff is seeking local subjects for photographs and stories featuring unusual customs ob­ served as a family’s personal Yuletide tradition. Along that line, if you paused to note the lovely oldfashioned Christmas tree placed in the window of Thor­ napple General Store last week, you were viewing a tradition started over 100 years ago in the family of Mrs. David (Caroline) Dimmers, proprietor of the store. Serving as a base for the tree is an intriguing Christmas “garden,” complete with two-story house, fountain and miniature fish­ pond. It was built by Caroline’s great-grandfather Rauschenberger more than a century ago and has been handed down through the family, lending its own special magic to each Christmas season. It is now enjoyed by the Dimmers’ children, Martha and Julie, who represent the fifth generation to decorate the marvelous creation of Rauschenberger, a Saline cabinetmaker of German descent. (Complete details appear elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News.) Entries are still needed for Nashville’s Chamber of Commerce-sponsored Christmas Parade set for 10:00 a.m. Saturday, December 8. Anyone wishing to participate may contact Chamber president Charles Andrus, Jr., or parade chairman Dave Mace. An Easter lily at the home of Mrs. Ruby Ball of Nashville may have been a little confused as to season, but perhaps it knew a holiday was imminent. The 3-feet tall plant put on a spectacular show just in time for Thanksgiving by sprouting three beautiful large blossoms. The lily, which had also flowered at Eastertime last spring, was about a foot high when Mrs. Ball moved it into the house just before our first frost this fall. It had grown the additional two feet in that short span of time. Mrs. Ball reports that it is rather unusual for a lily to blossom twice in one year. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce will meet at the Steakhouse restaurant for a 7 p.m. dinner Wednesday, December 12. Mr. and Mrs. Ahmo Jordan are in charge of dinner reservations for the event. Election of officers for the new year is scheduled, with a nominating committee comprised of Dave Mace, George Hermenitt, and Rev. Leonard Putnam. Remember to take advantage of the unique bake sale being sponsored by the local Friends of the Library group (his holiday season. From December 1 through December 15 lhe FOL members will be taking orders for custom baking. Customers may place orders by calling the library during open hours, or may contact Mrs. Dennis Hay, chairperson of the event.

In the “Surprised - nobody - caught - our - goof’ department: The ornate cherry staircase, fashioned by the late Issac N. Kellogg of Nashville and mentioned in a recent “Memories” feature on him, was located in the old Kocher dry goods store, not J. B. Kraft’s. Kellogg was noted for creating the beautiful open staircase which ascended to the upper floor of John and Will Kocher’s business, before it became Hannemann’s dry goods and, later, Line’s Dept. Store. Kocher’s was located two doors south of the Buxton Block (present-day Nashville Flowers, commonly called the old Stop & Shop building). The store owned by J. B. Kraft and sons, Ed and Urias, was situated between the Buxton Block and Kocher’s. When the new post office building was constructed in 1966, both the former Kraft and Kocher stores were torn down, but Issac Kellog’s elaborate masterpiece was preserved. The dismantled cherry staircase is still kept in storage by Tim and Alice Boucher of Nashville, owners of the present-day post office building.

Another surprise party recently staged in our village honored Kelly Christopher, a week before her December 2nd marriage to Douglas Aspinall. Both are of Nashville. At an event hosted by Mrs. John (Ruth) Hughes, the bride-to-be was surprised by a gathering of 12 youngsters for whom she regularly baby-sits. Also attending the bridal shower were mothers of the youngsters. Kelly arrived at the Hughes house under the assumption that she was to baby-sit the youngsters. The ruse worked; and a dozen little ones greeted the sitter when she opened the door, as the mothers stayed briefly out of sight. The shower was highlighted by a beautiful bridal doll cake baked by Sandy Priddy of Nash­ ville.

The bright shades of red in this fall’s display of color may mean large-volume, high-quality maple syrup production for Michigan next spring. Though no direct scientific correlation has been made between the color of leaves in the fall and the production of maple syrup the following spring, there may be some connection between the two, says Mel Koelling, Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service forestry specialist. He explains that the production of maple syrup depends upon the amount of sap produced and collected in the spring and the con­ centration of sugar in the sap. Both factors are af­ fected by weather conditions during the previous year’s growing season, which runs from June through Sep­ tember. The amount of fall color also depends on weather conditions during these months Adequate supplies of moisture and sunshine are required to produce high quality sugar and brightly colored leaves. “The past summer was a good growing season for the trees,” Koelling says. “There was a good distribution of moisture and favorable temperatures, and no early frosts. In addition, there was ample rainfall in August and a lot of bright sunshine in September.” Koelling said the excellent color across the state this fall should correlate to good syrup production in the spring, but this cannot be guaranteed because the weather in the spring is a big factor. . For the sap to flow in the springtime, alternately freezing and thawing tem­ peratures are required. Maximum sap flow can be expected when the tem­ perature dips below zero at night and rises above 45 degrees in the daytime. If cold weather continues later into spring, however, the sugar may be high quality but the volume will be low. Maple syrup producers can reduce the effect of weather conditions by using vacuum pumps and tubing systems to gather sap, Koelling suggests. Connecting holes by a series of tubing lines to a vacuum pump enables the producer to collect sap even when temperatures drop below zero at night but don’t get high enough the following day to allow the sap to flow from the tree. The vacuum pump will create the extra pressure that is needed then. Although Michigan is among the top five states in the production of maple syrup, the resource is barely being used, Koelling says. “We have a much larger potential than what we are producing,” he says. “Only about five percent of the tappable trees in the state are being used. Maple syrup is probably one of the few agricultural products in the state for which demand exceeds supply,” A major problem is the rising cost of running the evaporators that are used to remove the water, from the sap. On the average, sap contains two percent sugar and it takes 43 gallons of sap to produce 1 gallon of syrup. Recent increases in the price of fuel oil have made the evaporation process very expensive. Koelling says many producers are considering going back to burning wood to operate the evaporatores. Research is being done on making existing evaporators more efficient and con­ verting them to use wood for fuel. Self-esteem bulletin available “The Adult’s Role in Aiding Adolescent Self­ Esteem,” a new bulletin is now available from the Eaton Cooperative Ex­ tension, says Eaton Ex­ tension Home Economist, Ann Ross. Although Adolescence can be an awkward time for many teens, some find it a period of stress and turmoil while others see it as merely another stage in life. Several recent studies have gathered evidence that most teens are well adjusted and that there is not ex­ cessive chaos in teens’ lives. These studies have shown that human development, including adolescence, is a steady, continuous and gradual process. During the teen years, young people are ex ex-­ perimenting with life, and the behaviors which result may often displease and puzzle adults. Teens test their abilities and limits at this time. Giving teens the in­ dependence they need for growing can often be dif­ ficult for parents. Letting your youngster have the freedom to make choices means that sometimes those choices will be wrong and will hurt. Teens need responsive individuals to. model themselves after, “role models” in other words. Acceptance and understanding from an adult they admire helps teens feel they are winnings in their battle with society. Parents may also want to obtain copies of the bulletin “Adolescence and Self­ Esteem: Being There”, from the Extension office for their adolescent children.

Delicious and delightful By Susan Hinckley When Caroline Adair (now Mrs. David Dimmers) was a small child growing up in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, the Yuletide season meant a special Jreat. She and her brother made a trip to the neighborhood, variety store where each could select a goldfish for their Christmas garden. “It was quite a treat,” Caroline recalls. “We were each allowed to pick our own favorite fish for the garden.” The Christmas garden was a tradition that had been handed down into the fourth generation of the family at the time of Caroline’s childhood. Today, the Dimmers’ daughters Martha and Julie, representing the fifth generation of the family, still enjoy decorating the unique creation fashioned by their great­ great grandfather Rauschenberger over a century ago. A Saline cabinetmaker of German descent, he had built the Christmas garden to hold the family’s holiday tree. On a table-like base, Rauschenberger constructed a two-story doll house complete with spacious terraced, lawn and a miniature fish pond. “I can remember Mother telling me that, as a child, she used to gather moss every Christmas to cover the lawn of the garden,” said Caroline, Her mother, now Mrs. Marian Adair of Ft. Wayne, has in recent years Had the Rauschenberger masterpiece rejuvenated, including covering the lawn with grass-like carpeting. Moss gathering isno longer necessary at Christmas time, but fish still swim in the pool. Water for the pond is circulated through an unusual route. Fed into a well by lifting the roof off the house, the water is carried by an under-table tube to a fountain cascading into the pond. dining starts with basic for Want-Ads It packs a punch, Moto-Ski® GRAND PRIX* SPECIAL Caroline Dimmers decorates the unique "Christmas Garden" which her great­ grandfather fashioned over a century ago.

Tiny tied-back drapes curtain the windows of the Christmas garden doll house, which can be opened from the back for placement of toy furniture. Caroline recalls many happy childhood hours spent in rearranging furnishings of the house. “My brother and I had so much fun playing with the miniatures in the Christmas garden that we often didn’t want our Christmas tree placed there,” noted Caroline, “It took up so much of the yard.” The Dimmers family has had the Christmas garden for the past ten years at their Hastings home.

William J. Meyer, FmHA County Supervisor, said that in addition to financing the purchase of homes, the Agency also has funds available to families who already own homes that need insulation - weatherization improvements. FmHA will offer loans for energy conservation im­ provements to all rural p families of low or moderate incomes who cannot obtain adequate commercial credit and are otherwise eligible for FmHA loan assistance. William J. Meyer said that this is not a new loan program, but a part of the total loan program FmHA has had for a number of years. However, the Agency is stressing the need to conserve energy and help families combat today’s higher cost of home energy. Improvements designed to save energy, such as in­ stalling additional in­ sulation, storm windows and doors, caulking, and in some cases modifying heating systems will, in many cases, save more than enough to repay the loan funds borrowed for the improvements, according to William J. Meyer. In addition to energy conservation, repair loans may also be used to remove health and safety hazards such, as repairing roofs, providing sanitary water and waste disposal systems, and upgrading electrical wiring. Applicants must own and live in their homes on a farm, in the open country, or in a rural town of up to 10,000 population to qualify for assistance. The current rural housing interest rate is 10 percent for moderate-income applicants. Families with lower incomes may qualify for a subsidy that Can reduce the effective interest rate down to as low as 1 percent per year.

(tfn) WINTER WRAP-UP - Issues to be dealt with during these final days of the 1979 session include legislation on wetlands, public employees’ right to strike, restructuring Wayne County government and the increasing of oil and gas severance taxes in Michigan. PETITION DRIVES - Two petition drives have begun to place on the 1980 ballot issues that were also topics in 1978: restoring the death penalty for first-degree murder; and lowering the legal drinking age to 19 from the present 21. PAY HIKE? - The Compensation Hearings Panel has recommended that all state employees get a 10 percent pay hike for the 1980-81 fiscal year. However, Governor Milliken has already indicated his opposition, and legislative ap­ proval is unlikely . BUDGET CUTS - In preparing his recommendations for the 1980-81 fiscal year, the Governor has noted that state revenue will show little or no increase over present levels. Therefore, he has said it will be necessary to either‘raise taxes to maintain current services, or to cut services and have no tax increase. His initial thoughts have been for a 20 percent cut. COAST GUARD - The U.S. Coast Guard Academy is now accepting applications for appointment to the Class of 1984. Graduating high school seniors interested in attending must submit their applications by December 15; many factors are considered. For an application, write to the Director of Admissions, U.S. Coast Guard Academy, New London, Connecticut 06320. LAND INVENTORY - Both houses of the legislature have now approved SB 443, which requires the Department of Natural Resources to conduct arid complete within three years an inventory of the state’s land resources and how they are used. This will then be used for state land plans as well as to help local governments manage their land resources too. RACING VETO - Back before the legislature is IBB 4531, which was vetoed by Governor Milliken. It would have prohibited withholding income taxes on racetrack winnings; and would have allowed betting losses to be deducted from winnings. He said this was bad tax policy. SCHOOL PRAYER - Now in the Senate is HB 4508, which would require public schools to provide students with time for prayer. Such time is presently allowed but not required. The bill was approved in the House by a 2-to-l margin despite questions on its constitutionality. RAPID RAIL - The Governor will soon sign into law SB 469; which will join Michigan with six other nearby states in a study on building a, rapid-rail transit system between major cities in those states. These would be similar to 100mph trains now used in Japan and Europe.

Host families sought for high school exchange students Local families have the opportunity to share in an unusual Christmas gift this year by inviting a South American student to live with them. “Sharing your home and love with an exchange student eager to learn about America, can be a gift to enrich your life," states John Richardson, Jr., President of Youth for Understanding and former Assistant Secretary of State for Education and Cultural Affairs. “It is an opportunity to learn about another culture in a very personal way.” Youth for Understanding is a non-profit educational program that has exchanged over 75,000 teenagers worldwide, since 1951. It is one of three high school student exchange programs recognized by the International Communication Agency of the U.S. Depart­ ment of State. . “The purpose of this program is to increase in­ ternational understanding through the family-living experience for young people and we are inviting families to share the spirit of America with students from South America,” said Sharon Martin, Regional Director of the Youth for Understanding International Student Exchange Program. Students like Elsa Nieto of Colombia and Paulo de Mello of Brazil will be living with host families and attending local high school. Elsa is a serious piano student who also enjoys playing the guitar. She has interests similar to American seventeen - year olds, including tennis, volleyball, dancing and reading. Elsa describes herself as sincere, polite and friendly. She would like to live with a host family in a small town and have a sister close to her own age. She has studied English and French for several years. Paulo is 15 and enjoys sports in his home town of Rio de Janerio. Basketball, soccer and volleyball are his favorites but he also likes swimming and rowing. A four year student of English, Paulo also excels in math and art. He hopes to live with an active sports-minded family. Exchange students become members of their new families and have the same responsibilities and privileges as other children Tn the home. Maximum effort is made to match the students and families with similar interests. Host families for 800 students, who arrive in January for a six month stay, are needed for December 25 to insure school enrollment. Families interested in participating in the program who care to contribute in this individual way to better understanding and friendship among peoples of our world should contact: Sharon Martin, Regional Director, Youth for Un­ derstanding, 4056 Plainfield NE, Suite C, Grand Rapids, MI 49505.

Nashville. Wednesday, December 12, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News It’s a small world after all, Nashville pharmacist Dave Mace discovered last week. In making a routine phone call to Wyeth Laboratories in Chicago, Mace, owner of Simon Pharmacy, identified himself as being located in Nashville, Michigan. “Oh yes, I know where that is,” answered a man’s voice on the other end of the line. “I used to live there. ” Further conversation disclosed that the fellow on the phone in Chicago was Lentz Chaffee, Jr., great-great grandson of Jacob Lentz, who founded the Lentz Table Company here in 1867. The family connection goes something like this: Jacob had three sons, Charles, Albert and Lewis, who soon joined him in the family business. In 1883 Lewis married Helen Allen and they eventually took up residence in the Maple Street home now occupied by Dr. and Mrs. Morris Brown. Lewis and Helen Lentz had a daughter named Olah. She grew up here, but later moved to Grand Rapids when she married a Chaffee related to the furniture manufacturing family in that city. Olah and her husband became parents of boy-girl twins, whom they named Helen and Lentz. The youngsters often spent summers here visiting their grandparents. As a young lady, Helen Chaffee moved to New York but died there in her early 20’s. Her twin brother Lentz married a Hastings girl, also named Helen, and they took up residence in Nashville. Both are now gone but their son, Lentz Chaffee, Jr., 43, now lives and works in Chicago. He was raised in Nashville, however, and the strange twist offate is that Dave Mace now lives in the same State Street home where young Lentz Chaffee, Jr. grew up a factlhat surfaced quite coincidentally in their brief phone conversation last week. Thanks to Mrs. Arthur (Margaret Furniss) Bateman of Nashville for helping us unravel this confusing family tree, which included a Helen Lentz, two Helen Chaffees, and two Lentz Chaffees. Dave didn’t get that all sorted out in his short phone conversation with Lentz, but did give him an upto-date report on the former Chaffee home. Mrs. Bateman also brought our attention to the fact that the bell at the Nashville United Methodist Church is now being rung daily at noon as a reminder of the captives held in Iran. “It’s a reminder to pray that the hostages are returned safely,” as Margaret put it, “and that the Lord will speak to the Ayatollah Khomeini.” The United Methodist bell is being tolled at Margaret’s suggestion with her husband, Art, currently performing the daily task. She hopes that all other community churches will join in the chiming call to prayer, feeling strongly that if everyone prays together it’s bound to have a positive effect. Recent visitors at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Cork­ well of Nashville have been his sister and family, Margaret and Mike Sheridan and daughters, Andria and Micah, from Alvin, Texas. They have been in Michigan two weeks visiting relatives here and in Hastings. A real treat for Andria, 4, was building her first snowman during our most recent downfall. In fact, she hoped to take frozen snowballs back to her nursery school playmates but our snow dissipated too soon. The Sheridans flew to Michigan. Ethel and Jerry Bandfield of Nashville celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary November 26, and in honor of the occasion were guests of their son Jeff and his friend, Peg Burgie of Charlotte, for Saturday evening dinner at Mountain Jack’s in Lansing. Mr. and Mrs. Bandfield were married in 1949 at Charlotte. Injuries sustained by Mrs. Dorothy Schutte of Nashville in a wintery auto crash two weeks ago on a Battle Creek Street By Susan Hinckley ville, usher; Wayne Harris of Olivet, bus worker; Dan Phares of Nashville, child church worker; Sue Smith of Hastings and Dorothy Priddy of Nashville, nursery workers; Carol Skinner of Olivet, Sunday School teacher; and Debby Burkett ofBellevue, top lay church worker of the year. Debby has worked in the Nashville Baptist bus ministry since its inception five years ago and is also responsible for major church decorations, including artistic arrangements in the vestibule. Winners were selected on the basis of attendance, church service, action and a Christ-like attitude. Three trustee seats on the Nashville Village Council, plus the posts of village president, clerk, treasurer and assessor, will open in the spring. Nominating petitions are currently out to fill these various positions. Village Clerk Suzy Cork­ well advises that the deadline for filing the petitions is 4 p.m. Tuesday, December 18. If necessary, a primary election will be held in February. The general village election is scheduled for March 10. We were so sorry to learn of the death last Tuesday of Eda Elliston of Nashville.She was a dear little lady with a perky spirit. Last February Eda gave us a great deal of assistance in a “Memories” story on the late Flora(“Ma”)Taylor. Mrs. Taylor was an aunt to Eda Travis Elliston. She and Eda’s mother, Mrs. Lewis (Ruia Kelly) Travis were sisters, which gave her niece a keen insight to the personality of the now­ legendary “Ma” Taylor. It was Eda who was with her Aunt Flora when she passed away at her home near the Taylor Feed Barn and Livery Stable on Nashville’s South Main Street in 1935. In recent years Eda has lived alone (her husband, Ira, died in 1959), and she often told us how much she looked forward to receiving the Maple Valley News each week. We will miss Eda, and extend sincere condolences to her family. A holiday musical program entitled, “The Christmas Story,” will be presented by the Nashville Baptist Church choir at 7 p.m. Sunday, December 16. On December 30th a newly-formed gospel trio from Canton, Ohio, known as “The Brothers”, will perform during 11 a.m. Sunday services at the Nashville Baptist Church. The trio is part of the original Cathedral Quartet, a group that performed for a capacity crowd at the church here in November.

Still another fascinating chapter was added to our recent “Memories” story on Nashville’s first Armistice celebration when a letter arrived last week from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin. “I bought my first and only shotgun on November 11,1918 and used it to celebrate witti,” he wrote. “We went around shooting it in the air.” Meade still owns the gun which he purchased the day the first World War ended, and it still works. “I bought it from Seth I Zemer,” he added. Meade used the gun to hunt rabbits and other game when he was in high school here, and for a few years afterwards. “Never was much of a hunter,” he concluded. “I did not like to eat the stuff after I killed it. ” CARD OF THANKS Officers for the new year will be elected by the Nashville We thank our children for Chamber of Commerce when the organization meets hosting an open house for our Wednesday evening, December 12, at the Steakhouse 25th wedding anniversary. restaurant in Nashville.

Dorothy had been treated and released at the hospital following the November 28th accident, in which an auto driven by a 17-year-old Battle Creek girl slid sideways into the path of Dorothy’s car. That impact pushed Dorothy into the path of a pickup truck driven by a Battle Creek man. Difficulties developing after the incident necessitated Dorothy’s confinement to Leila for tests. She suffered multiple bruises and some lacerations in the mishap. The Nashville Garden Club met last Tuesday at the Community House of the local United Methodist Church for a Christmas celebration. A potluck dinner and gift exchange were enjoyed, and memories were shared as each member was called on to recount their most memorable Christmas. Studies of the month included the poinsettia, the rutabaga and goldenrod. Hostesses for the event were Mrs. Ruby Ball and Mrs. Irene Bloom, both of Nashville. Christmas boxes for elderly shut-ins of our community were prepared by members of the Maple Grove Birthday Club when they met last Wednesday at the home of Mrs. William (Reva) Schantz of rural Nashville. Children and teens of the Nashville Assembly of God Church will present a Christmas program of music and poems at the 10:00 a.m. Sunday service, December 16.

Descendants of the late James and Mary Jane (Miller) Hummel of Nashville gathered for a family Christmas reunion at Kalamo Township Hall on Sunday, December 2. Over sixty persons were present for the potluck dinner af­ fair, an annual event which has been hosted the past eight years by Hummel’s grandson, Joel, and his wife, Gladys, of Kalamo. Joel is the son of the late Earl Hummel of Nash­ ville. Many local families were represented at the reunion, including the Mix, Hinckley and Appelman families, in addition to children and grandchildren of the Joel Hummels and other Hummel family members. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Coikins of Nashville returned home last week after a Thanksgiving trip to Texas. The Corkins flew to San Antonio from Detroit, to visit Peggy’s brother and sister-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Van Alstine at Kingsland. The Van Alstines* daughter, Annabelle, was also home for the holiday. She lives at Denison, Texas. The Corkins enjoyed good weather throughout their week-long stay. Edgar Rhoades of Topeka, Kansas, son of Rev. and Mrs. E. F. Rhoades of Nashville, was scheduled to undergo rather serious surgery at Topeka last Wednesday, due to cancer of the esophagus. He faces a long recuperative period that will be brightened by the fact that his wife is a registered nurse who is able to care for him at home. The Sveden House in Lansing was the scene of a December Istdinner honoring workers in all departments of the Nashville Baptist Church. Over 150 were present for the banquet, which is expected to become an annual event. Special music for the occasion was furnished by Larry Szabl of Grand Ledge and Neal Johnson of Nashville. Pastor Lester DeGroot delivered a message to the workers based on Revelations 22:3, “And his servants shall serve him”.

Straight ahead ,ona on a building owned by Jim Powers, is an antique sign advertising authorized s service and genuine parts for the Whippet and Willys-Knight autos. The sign probably originated with the late Ralph Olin, local Overland dealer who introduced the European style Whippet to Nashvill Nashville in i June 1926 at a special showing in his salesrooms in the McLaughlin Building (present-day Baby Bliss). Powers received the sign from Forrest Babcock of Nashville, whose father, the late Horace Babcock, had it around their Main Street home for many years. Forrest thinks the sign was used in the 1920 s on the former Jerry Capen garage on South Main, a now-demolished ­ building across from the present-day Curtis Craft Center. The structure on which the sign now rests was an early blacksmith shop and, later, an automotive garage operated for many years by the late Boyd Olsen. CHURCH CHOIR presents...

Mrs. Lloyd (Elizabeth) Wilcox of Nashville accompanied her daughter, Mrs. Glenn (Lucille) Slocum of Hastings, to Athens last Thursday to call on Elizabeth’s sister, Mrs. Helen Black. Incidently, Elizabeth (Ritchie) Wilcox worked as a young girl at the Commercial Hotel on State Street, mentioned in last week’s “Memories.” Elizabeth had just entered high school when she went to woifc there in the early 1920’s for the wages of $5 per week. The proprietor’s name was Mrs. Murray (Myrtle) Kring-not King-as reported last week. (The 1927 village directory tire used as our source had misspelled the name). Another note of interest on the same subject: Charles Dahlhouser of Litchfield assumed ownership of George C. Deane’s clothing store shortly after the directory was published. The new merchant squelched concern about improved autos and roads hurting local business with this: “There are just as many roads leading into Nashville as out; more autos and better roads will increase Nashville business rather than hurt it.” He made the statement in an address to the local Community Club. Howard E. Brumm, a Nashville native currently residing at Thonotosassa, Florida, sent us a humorous antidote about early Nashville hardware dealer Cassius L. Glasgow, subject of a recent “Memories” story. Seems Glasgow was working in his store one day and needed some string to tie up a bundle of packing material. “Looking around he couldn’t see any string handy, but up on the wall some wire was stretched along the side of the building,” wrote Brumm. “Taking some wire nippers, Cass cut off,a piece ofwire 7 or 8 feet long and bound up the bundle.” A short time later Glasgow was advised by his office girl that the phone in the store was out of order, so he sent word by messenger to the local telephone office on Main Street to advise that his phone was dead. In due time a lineman arrived at the store. He started to check for the problem outside but found the line entrance into the building to be in order. “Then going inside he started to trace the line as it went through the store,” explained Brumm. “The wire was tacked up on the side of the building so it was easy to trace.” That is, until he came to a place where the line was not only broken, but a short section missing. “Cass had been watching the tracing of the wire, and when the lineman came to the missing wire section, he turned to Cass and said ’There’s the trouble’,” continued Brumm. The lineman thought Cass had a funny look on his face, until Glasgow confessed to being the culprit who had inadvertently cut the wire. “They had a good laugh together and thought the incident would end there,” added Brumm. “But somehow Fike (Len Feighner, editor­ publisher of the Nashville News) got wind of the affair to make a nice newsy item for his column, and it soon spread all over town.” Barry County Extension Service CALENDAR of EVENTS December - 4-H Christmas Tree sales continue, Courthouse lawn, Hastings December 11-13 - Annual West Michigan Livestock Show, Grand Rapids Civic Auditorium December 11 - MABC Dairy Breeding Seminar, Hospitality Inn, Cascade Road & 1-96, Grand Rapids December 12 - Grain Marketing meeting, 7:30-9:30 p.m., Community Building, Hastings December 12 - DHIA Annual Dinner, Noon, Coats Grove church building December 12 - 4-H Dairy Developmental Committee meeting, 8 p.m., Extension Office, Hastingsx December 13-14 - TelFarm Check-in, Community Building, Hastings December 17 - Lakewood Adult Ag Class, 8 p.m., Lakewood High School, “Tax Management” December 19 - Grain Marketing meeting, 7:30-9:30 p.m., Community Building, Hastings Nashville VFW 8260 & Auxiliary FISH & CHICKEN FRY FRIDAY, DEC. 14th NOTE: 2 months trial period...served cafeteria style — SERVING 5:30P.M. to 7:30 P.M.

FOUR CONVENIENT LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU HOME OFFICE - CHARLOTTE, MICHIGAN Nashville, Michigan - Eaton Rapids, Michigan - Olivet, Michigan �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, December 12, 1979 — Page 4 Memories of the past “They have got the Evangelical Church alll raised up, putting a wall under it,” noted village engineer Frank Russell in his diary May 13, 1926. The church, located on the northeast corner of the Washington and Phillips Street intersection, was suffering growing pains again. Over a 70-year span the 1887 structure was to be By Susan Hinckley stretched outward, upward, rear and forward, in three major building projects. Formed as an Evangelical class in the winter of 1885-86 after a series of bi-monthly Sunday afternoon sermons preached in Nashville’s town by hall Woodland’s Evangelical circuit minister Rev. W. A. Koehler, a small local congregation of 29 charter members soon The shape of Nashville's Evangelical Church changed dramatically overr a 70-year span. Original church on Phillips Street was small rectangular edifice (right portion of building in this about-1910 photo). Added in 1903 was wing, left, and entry tower, center. In 1926 entire structure was raised to add basement facilities. A 1957 project further revamped the structure which, after extensive additions, now houses the present-day Nashville Baptist Church. Thank you to... ROD & NORMA RAYMOND ...of the Maple Leaf Inn for the lovely dinner. — from the Vermontville Fire Department and Ambulance Crew arranged for construction of a 1,260 square ft. church on the Phillips Street site. The first alteration to that building came slightly more than a dozen years later. “Major improvements to the Evangelical Church have been completed,” advised the Nashville News in early Decefnber 1899. “Among other things, new front steps have been built, several gasoline lamps have been installed inside, the interior papered, and a furnace in­ stalled in the basement..” The tiny church was keeping pace with com­ munity growth which had that year seen construction of a new iron bridge across the Thornapple River on North Main and erection of a steel fire alarm tower on Maple Street. Installation of gas lamps in the church improved illumination, as it kept step with the times. “The new gasoline lights have become very popular here,” observed the News in November 1899, “and now there is scarcely a business place in town that is not lighted either by gasoline or acetylene lights.” Four years later, the Evangelical Church gained its first appendage. Con­ struction started in Jtine 1903 added a new wing and en­ trance tower to the building’s north side. “The new Evangelical Church was formally dedicated Sunday,” the News told readers early in November 1903. “The first church was built on the site of the present edifice, which now boasts a new wing, in addition to complete new interior decorations.” About the same time, there was formed in the Evangelical Church a young girls’ Sunday School group called the Cloverleaf Class. That class still exists today, though the original church has undergone various af­ filiation and name changes since then. “The Cloverleaf was formed when all the Sunday School classes were being organized at the Evangelical Church,” recalls Mrs. J.

She was a member of the class which she believes originated about 1904. Leah Walrath Partride, now of Flint, was another member of the first Cloverleaf Class. “We girls all grew up together,” she reminisced. By 1914 the young girls’ Sunday School class had evolved into an adult-age ladies’ study and service organization, as it still remains today. Even a 1946 consolidation with the United Brethern Church and a 1968 merger with the Methodists, to form the present-day United Methodist Church, did not affect the Cloverleaf Class. When the / United Evangelical Church merged with the Methodists, the ladies requested and received permission to retain the organization’s original title. While the Cloverleaf Class has remained steadfast over the years, the Evangelical Church changed not only name but shape. When Frank Russell noted in 1928 that the church was “all raised up,” the building was undergoing extensive renovation to add a basement kitchen, furnace room, lavatories "and other facilities. Thirty years later, another major construction project was underway at the United Evangelical Church. The edifice was growing, rear and forward. A back addition extended both the basement level and upper floor to provide an education unit below and a recessed chancel above. Up front, an expanded entryway dramatically changed the facade of the early structure. Spearheading the 1957 remodeling project was Rev. Cylde C. Gibson, who had recently retired after 50 years service, launched by a 3-year ministry here in 1909. In his early days as a local preacher, Rev. Gibson had made a Sunday afternoori circuit trip by horse and biIggy to deliver a weekly sermon at the North Castleton Evangelical Church on E. State Road. After many years of ministry in the Detroit area, Rev. Gibson returned to Nashville in 1955 to conclude his career by again serving the local congregation. Rev. Gibson passed away in 1978 but he, like the Cloverleaf Class, represents a constant in the history of the Evangelical Church in Nashville.

Congressman Howard Wolpe called on Third District residents today to demonstrate to the Iranian government that American citizens are 100 percent behind the American government’s efforts to free the hostages in Iran. Wolpe asked all his constituents to write the Iranian Embassy in Washington expressing their outrage and demanding that the hostages be released. “One of the efforts of the Iranian government has been to suggest that the American people are not behind the President and the American Government on this crisis,” Wolpe said. “I think that we need to make it crystal clear, we need to get the message to Iran, that the American people, every man, woman, and child among us, demands the release of the hostages and that we will not submit to blackmail. I hope that every one of my constituents will draft a telegram or a letter expressing their outrage with the events in Iran and their support for President Carter, and send it to Ayatollah Khomeini in care of the Iranian Embassy in Washington.” Wolpe also stated that he is against returning the Shah to Iran at this time: “While I have serious questions in my own mind about the Shah’s admission to this country in the first place, I think it would be a serious mistake to acquiesce to the blackmail and terrorism that is taking place in Iran today.

Jeff Beebe, Aaron Snider, Pat Kersjes, Jeff Mead, and Tony Joostberns outscored the Scotties 14-2 in the first three minutes of the second half. The Scotties managed to come within ten points of their hosts until John Kent poured in four points to again widen the margin for the Lions. Kent added ten points in total for Valley. Co-captains Tony Joostberns and Jeff Mead added nine and eight points respectively. Mead also tallied five assists and Pat Kersjes pulled down fifteen rebounds. Brian Hamilton, Terry Pierce, Todd Gearhart, Roger Drake and Glenn Godbey also saw action for the Lions. Following their tough opener on Friday, the var­ sity again proved itself by holding off a determined Charlotte squad on Saturday night. Sophomore Jeff Beebe paced the Lions to a 14-11 point first quarter advantage by scoring eight of those points himself. But fouls plagued the Lions and Charlotte was able to catch their visitors at the freethrow line scoring eight of their sixteen second quarter points at the charity stripe. The Lions trailed 27-23 at the half. But the exciting Lions never relented. They chipped away at the Oriole lead until, with one second remaining in the third quarter, Aaron Snider canned a twenty footer to give Valley a 38-37 lead. Jeff Mead started the final quarter by hitting two freethrows and then added to the scoring drive by driving in for two lay ups, pulling the Lions ahead 52-43 with three minutes to play.

Leading by only one point, 52-51, the Lions needed the extra margin of a one and one. Joostberns connected on both and it proved to be the winning margin. When the Orioles failed to connect on their attempt to score, the Lions grabbed the rebounds and started to use up the clock. The delay worked well until a Valley error gave Charlotte the ball with ten seconds remaining to be played. A tough defense kept the Orioles from getting a good shot up and Pat Kersjes blocked a shot that left the Orioles with time forjust one more attempt. After the final Charlotte bucket, the time had run out and Valley had it’s second victory, 54-53. This was a good win for the Lions and started the season on a confident note. Jeff Beebe led Valley scorers with fourteen points and grabbed eight rebounds. Pat Kersjes added eleven points and ten rebounds. Aaron Snider and Jeff Mead each netted ten points and Tony Joostberns nine. John Kent and Terry Pierce also contributed to the Lions victory. The Lions face a tough week as they begin league play on Tuesday with Vestaburg and again on Friday against Lakeview. Both contests are at home. JV game begins at 6:30.

The house was built several years ago by Eunice and Lloyd Priddy of Nash­ ville and is used for headquarters for Santa’s Nashville visit, sponsored by the local Chamber of Commerce. Santa’s special mailbox is located in front of the house and for many years actually received letters from youngsters in the community and letters were published weekly in the local newspaper at that time. This year the Maple Valley had an’opportunity to chat with Santa and ask him if he would share with us any letters he received from local children. He was glad to oblige and said he had received some very nice letters and even a lovely Christmas card from one child. The letters that follow have been typed as they were written: Dear Santa, I have been a good girl. Please bring me some Loc Blocs and a “Where the Wild Things Are” bode.

Two items will confront nearly every American citizen this month. Finances and gifts. “How much can we spend and still keep warm this month?” WI wonder what Jim will get me this year?” Even the kids will try to make their ten dol­ lar bills stretch to all family members, while eagerly anti­ cipating “opening day”! These are also matters of concern to God! We read in God’s Word, “For the WAGES of sin is death, but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord.” (Rom. 6:23).

Problems are not limited to just dogs and cats but with horses, farm animals, and wild life as well. Wild life pests need not be killed. Live traps are available which are designed to capture the animal alive without injury so they may be taken back to their natural habitat and released.

A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative NO SUNSET - The House has narrowly approved SB 75, which sets up a legislative oversight committee to review state agencies. However, all-important amendments to include specific “sunset” termination dates for agencies were rejected. The bill is worthless without “sunset”, therefore, I voted against it. NO PRIVACY - The Senate on an initial vote failed to provide the required two-thirds majority for SJR “D”, which would propose to Michigan voters an amendment to the state constitution guaranteeing an individual’s right to privacy. NO GILLS - Under a federal Appeals Court order, the state can now extend a gill-net fishing ban to all Michigan Indians. A prior ruling had said some Indians were exempt under treaties of 1836 and 1855; the state said this would deplete fish stocks. JUVENILE CODE - Now before the full House are HB 4774-78, which together rewrite the state’s juvenile code. Provisions rovsonsncuereucejauseorjuveneoeners; include reduced jail use for juvenile offenders; adult trials for juveniles committing violent crimes; and revised procedures for dealing with runaways and other status offenders. However, there is concern this goes too far with “children’s lib”. IlTjEWll BLUES BILL - The Senate is now considering HB 4555, which would reorganize Blue Cross - Blue Shield of ! Michigan. Proponents say that it is needed to improve the ' composition of the Blues’ Board of Directors and to institute cost-containment programs; opponents argue that it represents an unwarranted government intrusion into the private sector. HEALTH HEARINGS - Public hearings to review the proposed State Health Plan will be held on December 17 at 11 p.m. in the City-County Building in Detroit; December 18,7 jihefof|j| p.m., Holiday Inn of Houghton Lake; December 19, 7 p.m., ?«up WMU Student Center, Kalamazoo; December 20, 6 p.m., , ™ y® NMU Brule Room, Marquette. Written comments may be 'Wfi sent to OHMS, P.O. Box 30026, Lansing, MI 48909. ' ' sIUESM ITEM PRICING - Both houses have now approved SB 377, which would eliminate the January, 1981, termination date y from the state law requiring individual retail item pricing. A 'mO court suit is challenging the process by which this bill was ■'« ore g moved through the Legislature. iirtijfc, SCHOOL SMOKING - Now in the House is SB 388, which would prohibit smoking on school property unless school boards exempt certain areas; presently, smoking is allowed unless posted signs say otherwise. POLLUTION PHONE - The Pollution Emergency Aler­ ting System (PEAS) has a new toll-free telephone number: 800-292-4706. This should be used for prompt reporting of oil spills, illegal toxic chemical waste disposal and other developments which threaten the environment. CASTLETON TAXPAYERS!

December 12. 1979__Page 15 Winter tips to guard against heart attack Most people in severe climates like Michigan’s automatically get their cars prepared for winter weather because they recognize that cold weather can be hard on a car. It can also be hard on your heart. But what can you do to safeguard yourself from a heart attack while doing outside chores, hunting, skiing and the like? “Unfortunately, it’s not as easy as just dumping in some antifreeze and checking your plugs,” said Dr. Daniel Anbe, F.A.C.C., Henry Ford Hospital cardiologist who is president of the Michigan Heart Association. “But there are some precautions you can take to reduce your risk. “First of all, work up to all cold weather activities gradually, especially if you’re not used to heavy exercise. Tramping fields for hours to stalk deer, cross country skiing, or trying to push a car out of a snowbank can increase the strain on your heart tremendously. “And if you already have a heart problem, DON’T EVEN CONSIDER SHOVELING SNOW UNLESS YOU HAVE YOUR DOCTOR’S SPECIFIC PERMISSION TO DO SO. “You take a person who leads a basically sedentary lifestyle and put him behind Hansel and Gretel comes to Battle Creek sSSc^i A world wide, musical, holiday tradition will be available to area residents on Sunday afternoon, December 16, when the Battle Creek Symphony and Michigan Opera Theatre join forces to perform Engelbert Humperdinck’s fairy-tale, folk opera, Hansel and Gretel at W.

IRS seeks volunteers Detroit, MI - The Internal Revenue Service is looking for community-minded citizens to be trained as volunteer income tax assistors - a program the agency calls VITA. IRS district director, R.L. Plate, said VITA is designed to provide free tax assistance in neighborhood locations to senior citizens, low-income, military, or notj; English speaking individuals who cannot travel to an IRS office, and cannot afford to pay for professional guidance. VITA volunteers do not need special backgrounds in law or accounting. A general educational background is all that’s necessary. The IRS training and materials for VITA are provided free by IRS, Plate said. VITA programs can be sponsored by local civic or fraternal organizations, educational institutions, churches, and social groups. Most VITA volunteers provide assistance in their own neighborhood at schools, churches, and libraries that are con­ veniently located for tax­ payers who cannot travel to an IRS office. If you are interested in volunteering for VITA, or have a group available to sponsor a VITA program in your neighborhood, call you IRS office for details. A tollfree number is listed in your telephone directory. In 1890, Engelbert Hum­ perdinck, was approached by his sister, Adelheid Wette, to compose some folk like melodies for a home theatrical she had written for her children, based on the Grimm fairy tale of Hansel and Gretel. Three years later, when he turned his toughts to com­ posing his first opera, he selected the libretto written by his sister and expanded on his own earlier efforts. Hansel and Gretel has continued “to shed its genial spell on old and young alike.” Since its first per­ formances eighty six years ago, Hansel and Gretel has never been out of the repertoire of European and American opera houses. The music with songs like the children’s prayer, “Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep” and the first act duet “Brother, Come Dance with Me” is filled with “imaginative touches” and should be familiar to most people. A fully staged, professionally produced operatic performance with a full size orchestra in the pit will be a unique experience for Battle Creek. . Tickets are now available at Lil’s Record Shoppe in the Mini Mall and at both Kenneth’s stores in Battle Creek. Free admission for students twelve and under will be restricted to the families of subscribers. All other students, regardless of age will need tickets for the December 16th per­ formance. Subscribers are urged to call the symphony office to reserve passes for their children so that enough seats will be available for what is expected to be a sold out performance.

With Christmas fast approaching, make time to do the kinds of things you really want to do. By shopping locally, you can save time (and gas) to help you squeeze out some extra hours to prepare for the coming ■ festive yuletide season.

Make the holidays merrier for others Someone’s Christmas depends on your generous giving and the Vermontville Chamber of Commerce is helping by making it convenient for YOU to contribute by placing "Community Christmas Basket" canisters in stores throughout the village. Tony Joostberns, an employee at Johnny's Market, displays the canister that is on display at that store. Christmas is fast approaching so please remember the canister fund and make Christmas merrier for you and your fellow­ man.

Wednesday, December 19, 1979 — Page 2 Nashville News A football iteearirig the autographs of Detroit Lions and Miami Dolphin players is now a prized possession of.Max Elliston, 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Elliston of Nashville. He received the football in a surprise trip to the Pontiac Silverdome where he watched the two teams face each other in December 9th competition. The journey was arranged by classmates of Max, a Battle Creek Central junior and muscular dystrophy patient. The youngsters also arranged for two other wheelchair-bound classmates to attend the game. Max, his parents, and his sister Marcia traveled to Pontiac from Nashville in the family’s van. But their final destination was kept a secret from Max. The Elliston family joined the other two students with their parents at the stadium. The boys were able to meet the* players as they passed from the locker room area to the field: A new football furnished by the class allowed Max to acquire the prized signatures of Detroit Lions Jeff Komlo, Gary Danielson and their coach, Monte Clark; and Miami Dolphins Tim Foley, Larry Csonka, Bob Griese and their Coach, Don Shula. Max also received from the Lions a wall plaque engraved with the club’s helmet insignia. Again this year Nashville churches will combine to present the traditional community-wide Christmas eve service. However, this year the event will be staged a day earlier than usual. The service is set for Sunday evening, December 23rd, at the Nashville Church of the Nazarene. Rev. Robert Taylor of the Assembly of God will deliver the address at the 7 p.m. event. Special music will be provided by a combined presentation of the local churches. ■ While many big city residents grumble about long waits at busy railroad crossings, Nashville folks were pleased as punch to pause for the clanging signal at the tracks on South Main last week Monday afternoon. Passing through was a bright blue engine of the new K-B-E Connecting Railroad, towing behind it no less than thirteen grain cars. A sight to behold in a train-starved town whose very heart was once the railroad! Local motorists were also pleased to note that additional patch was applied to the crossing area by railroad crew working in the village Monday.

If you do not know the Lord Jesus Christ as your saviour, I would invite you to take time to go to one of our local churches, take part in the services, and find Him.

Teen-agers of the Nashville Church of the Nazarene will present a play, “Miracle in Bethlehem,” at 7 p.m. Wed­ nesday, December 19. Earl Pennock of Nashville was the first to call our at­ tention to what he believed was an error in the caption of a recent “Memories” photo of Colin T. Munro. We had identified a uniform worn by the longtime Nashville grocer as that of the I.O.O.F. Munro was very active in that order as well as the Masonic Lodge, and achieved elevated positions in both. However, Earl points out the insignia which indicated that the uniform represented Knights Templar of the Masonic Order. A letter received last week from Kenneth A. Meade, a Nashville native now of Franklin, concurred with Earl’s observation. “To me it looks like a Knight’s Templar uniform,” wrote Meade, “as I have one just like it - sword, scabbard and all.” He noted that Munro was an active Mason and was secretary of Nashville Lodge No. 255 F. & A. M. for many years. “He was probably a member of the Hastings Commandery of Knights Templar as were (and are) many Nashville Masons,” concluded Meade. Meade also wrote that he had enjoyed the “Memories” trip down Nashville’s 1927 Main Street, and also another recent story about Cassius L. Glasgow. “Looking at the picture of Glasgow’s hardware store brought back many memories of when I was a little boy and went in there with my Dad,” reminisced Meade. “How much fun it was when he bought some new piece of farm machinery such as a riding plow, a new hay mower, or a side delivery rake.” Meade added that hardware stores, even modern ones, still fascinate him. “I could spend hours in them, looking at tools and all the knickknacks they sell,” he wrote. Wayne Fuller, a Nashville native now of Toledo, also had some thoughts on the same subject. “I wonder if anyone remembers the potbellied stove in Glasgow Hardware with the ring of chairs around it,” Fuller asked in a letter received last week. “There was a sign above the stove about all the people that had sat in the chairs and swapped yarns.” Fuller said the sign had a very clever wording that he wished he could recall. The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Wednesday, December 19, 1979 — Page 3 Fuller also remembers the John F. Purchis barbershop featured in the “Memories” review of Nashville’s 1927 Main Street enterprises. The Purchis barbershop, Fuller recalls, “was a little below ground level, and I got my hair cut there a good many times.” the picture of longtime Nashville druggist Harry Hale and his wife, Florence, also revived fond memories for Fuller. “My mother did housework for them for a while before she married by dad,” he wrote. Later, Hale’s place on Main Street was a favorite gathering spot for the Fuller family on shopping trips to Nashville. “When in town Saturday nights we would always meet at the drug store before going home,” remembered Wayne, whose family lived south of town. “My dad would spend some time with Hime Walrath at the harness shop; he played in the (Walrath) band and knew him very well.” Folks who have long been around Nashville remember that Saturday night was a big event in the village. It was traditionally the time that farm families from the surrounding countryside came into town to shop and visit. Men, women and children all enjoyed the social aspects of the occasion which allowed them to stock the larder and catch up on the latest news at the same time. Stocking the larder for potential snowbound days ahead this winter was a lesson learned by local senior citizens at their Nutrition Site in the Masonic Temple last Wednesday. A representative of the Council on Aging in Battle Creek spoke to the group about a food supply that can be bought and stored for use in case of emergency. The suggested foods provide a nutritionally balanced diet and may be kept on hand for several months. On the list were a can of fruit cocktail, tomato juice or spinach; dried or evaporated milk; a can of soup containing meat chunks; a can of tuna fish; instant or ready-to-eat cereal, such as granola or instant oatmeal; a can of peas, corn or tomatoes, a package of dried fruit, such as prunes or dates; peanut butter; crackers; instant coffee, Cocoa and non-dairy creamer; and a box of raisins. The senior citiznes were each urged to establish a special emergency grocery shelf of such foods, which could sustain them for two or three days confinement.

But. at Nashville High School during the first half of this century, a grown-up version of the game became a local tradition that left many happy memories behind. It was known as the annual Junior-Senior Hunt. “It was looked forward to by every class that passed through Nashville High,” remembers Howard Brumm, a 1925 NHS graduate now living in Florida. “The junior class liked it because it made them feel they had finally arrived in the higher ac­ tivities of the school, and the seniors liked it because they could have a chance to feel superior.” Plans for the annual Junior-Senior Hunt began about a month , after school reopened each fall. The senior class would deliver a formal message to the juniors, challenging them to locate the seniors in a secret hiding place within the village confines on a designated evening. According to the rules of the game, the senior class had an bour to hide enmasse on the allotted evening. Meanwhile, the juniors remained sequestered in the school. “The schoolhouse bell atop the building would ring at the beginning of the hour, to set the seniors off for their hiding place,” explains Brumm. During that time the juniors, confined at school, would divide their class into small units of two or three students and assign each group a different area of town to search. “By the end of the hour, ...

Box 62, Vermontville 49096 the juniors were rarin’ to go,” added Brumm, • “and when the second bell sounded they were off.” By dividing the junior class into small groups the entire village could be covered most thoroughly in the hour assigned for the search, he explained. A third ringing of the school bell signaled the close of the hunt, time for both junior and senior classes to return to the schoolhouse. If the juniors had failed to locate the seniors- hideout, they were obligated to treat the senior class to a banquet at a specified later date. However, if the juniors had found the seniors, the upper • class has to furnish the feast. Brumm, who was in the junior class during the fall of 1923, remembers well the thrill of taking part in the annual Junior-Senior Hunt. He also remembers that, as a junior, his class failed to find the seniors. “They had hidden in the partially constructed bank building on Main Street,” he explained. “I was thankful that I had not been assigned to hunt in that area.” Within a month or so the juniors, with the able assistance of their mothers, provided an appropriate banquet to honor the seniors for successfully eluding the juniors. The following year Brumm again participated in the event - this time as a senior. “Almost as soon as school started that fall, our class had committees to assess possible hiding places,” he recalls. “By the time the hunt arrived, we had decided to hide in the crawl space under the floor of the old apple dryer building.” (The structure, located on Sherman Street near the Cleveland intersection, is the west end of the present-day Skedgell Well Drilling operation and also houses a furniture stripping business. The building is commonly referred to as the old Standard Stamping factory and was once the home of the Farmers’ Cooperative Creamery.) “We crept into a 4-foot space between the floor and By Susan Hinckley Page Juniors in 1916 seem to be contemplating, "Where will those wiley seniors hide this year?". The annual hunt was a Nashville school tradition that lasted until the early 1950's, often spanning two generations of a family.

Soon the second bell sounded warning the seniors that the search was on. “It wasn’t long until we could hear the hunting juniors outside juniors outside the building,” noted Brumm. “We literally froze, not making a sound while we could hear those juniors so near by.” The juniors soon gave up .on the apple dryer and moved on to other areas in search of the seniors. In an hour the seniors heard the third bell. “We happily crawled out of the rather cramped and close quarters,” reminisced Brumm. “Needless to say, we enjoyed the feed that the unsuccessful juniors provided for us a few weeks later. ” Quite often the pattern was a junior class defeat, a senior class victory. But not always. “My class of 1930 was one of the very few that got to eat both years,” remembers Mrs. June Brown Potter of rural Nashville. “As juniors, we found the seniors and the next year we weren’t found.” The annual Junior-Senior Hunt continued until the early 1950’s when it “suc­ cumbed to modern times,” as Howard Brumm puts it. . “As the classes grew larger, it was almost im­ possible to carry on the custom,” noted Mrs. Potter, “so it was discontinued.” However, fond memories of the traditional class rivalry Still linger; and many former local students reminisce happily about the unique contest which became a highlight of each new school year at Nashville High. The bell atop Nashville High School signaled three stages of the annual Junior­ Senior Hunt. While juniors remained sequestered in the school, seniors had an hour to hide enmasse somewhere in the village. Juniors then searched for the group, hoping to winti feast as a reward for discovery. to one and all! From... IRENE’ Beauty Shop iJ) 204 W. Main St., NASHVILLE PH: 852-9107 �The Maple Valley News.

Of­ ficials took the action in an attempt to enhance chances the village would receive approximately $10,000 in approx federall funds for improvements to the library building. The monies would be part of a $405,000 U.S. Housing and Urban Development Bloc Grant allocated for the Nashville area,/including Castleton and Maple Grove townships, during the next two years. “Approaching it from the historical standpoint, they (HUD officials) are a little more open to o rere-doing ong things,” Steven Reid, newlyappointed Bloc Grant ad­ ministrative assistant for Barry County, told Nashville officials Thursday. “In turn, we would like to have the Putnam Public Library board approach the state to have the library designated as a state historical site.” The Putnam home is one of the older structures in Nash­ ville and has served the village as a library for the past 56 years. Proposed improvements to the building would include special protective covering for or severa several rare Belgian egan stained glass windows, other additional storm windows and a barrier-free entrance. In other business, the council agreed to offer for rent a residence recently acquired by the village in a land purchase for Nash­ ville’s proposed new sewer treatment facility on Brumm Road. Construction on the site is nqt expected to begin for 18 months and, at this point, vage pon, village oc officials as are uncertain if the house will be habitable after that time. “We’ve got 18 months that we know the house is habitable,” said trustee Lonny Kienutske, “and I think we should try to get some income out of the property over that period of time.” The council decided that, in exchange for caretaker services at the site, the residence would first be offered for rent to Nashville DPW employee Scott Decker at the rate of $100 per month in the winter (October through roug March) arc an and $75 per month the balance of the year. Rent will not include untilities, the council agreed, and 'if Decker is not in­ terested in the offer, the house will be advertised for lease on the open market at $200 per month, winter; and $175,, summer; wt with a 1-year -year committment and rental deposit required. If Decker should accept the offer but lt later l leave employment lt off the village during his occupancy of the home, the monthly rent would be increased to the higher rate. In other sewer-related business, Oliver Downing was present to question the council’s recent authorization of hourly pay for trustee Lonny Kienutske, Village officials are hoping the Putnam Library in Nashville can be declared a Michigan Historical Site and that some of the monies from the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Block Grant can be used for improvements at the building. One part of the proposed project is to make a barrier free entryway. The design for that plan has not yet been determined as to whether it will be a ramp or lift, but the entry will probably be through the front double doors. village clerk Suzy Corkwell, and village treasurer Lois Elliston for time spent in acquiring construction and right-of-way easements for the proposed $4.8 million project, approved by local voters in September. The three officials have met with involved property owners in two special Saturday sessions at Castleton Township Hall to process required individual easement agreements. Downing objected because he said village officials cannont “hire themselves” for a job, and he thought the task could be accomplished during the clerkjs regular office hours. Trustee Ted Spoelstra said the additional paperwork required for the sewer project could not be handled in a normal 40-hour week, and that overtime pay was not out of line. “This council could have elected instead to spend $2,000 to hire Williams and Works (Engineering Firm) to get those easements,” noted Kienutske, in defense of the council action. He had abstained from the November 8th voting ap­ proving his pay of $10 per hour. Trustee Ray Hinckley supported Kienutske’s stand, saying that during his tenure on the council at the time of Nashville’s 1975 1975 water system improvements he (Hinckley) had volunteered to acquire necessary property easements on behalf of the council. He found the task so great he was finally obliged to take a week’s personal vacation from his employment to complete the job, Hinckley said. He was aided only by a superintendent of public works, he explained, and received no compensation from the village. Because of that experience, Hinckley said Thursday he would not ask any other council member to undertake a similar task without adequate compensation. Nashville trustees currently receive $25 per regular meeting; there is no pay for public hearings, extra meetings or committee work. Downing said he would appeal to the state attorney general for a ruling. Trustee Sandy Kohfeldt encouraged From the grant monies, plans also call for a few of the beautiful Belgian stained glass windows to receive special protective plexiglas storms designed especially to,preserve such windows if HUD agrees on the historical value. There are eight stained glass windows in the library. Plain windows also will receive regular storm windows under the HUD proposal. him to do so. “If we are cruiser from Renner Ford in found wrong, we will reverse Hastings at the cost of $6,687, ourselves,” she added. “But with delivery expected in we feel very comfortable March. with what we did -Approved raising the (authorizing pay); if you are village clerk’s annual salary not comfortable with that, from $8,000 to $9,500 effective then write him.” at the start of the new fiscal In other action Thursday year, April 1st - the first the council: increase for the clerk’s post -Authorized purchase of a in four years. new 1980 Ford LTD police THE VERMONTVILLE TWP.

Lions dropped twice The 2-win-bubble burst right over the head of the Lions varsity basketball team last week as they lost two important league games in the Maple Valley gym. Vestaburg visited on Tuesday and went home with a 70-57 victory, they won at the free-throw line. The guests made 18 of 27 while their hosts could manage only 5 of 14. The game was tied 6 times in the first half and the lead changed 5 times. But in the second half Valley could manage to get the lead only briefly on a scoring splurge at the beginning of the second half. It didn’t take long for Vestaburg to take advantage of Lion ball handling errors and regained the lead early in the third period. 49 of Vestaburg’s total 70 points came from guard Jack Wood, who scored 24, and 6’7” Harry McCullan, who scored 25. The Lions trailed by as many as 9 points in the third period but pulled to within 3 points, 58-55 with 1:08 to play in the game. Then Vestaburg went to the free-throw line and hit 9 of 14 to give them the final victory. For Valley, Pat Kersjes claimed high point honors with 15 points, Tony Joostberns, added 14 and Aaron Snider 13. Pat Kersjes pulled down 15 rebounds to lead all rebounders. When the Lakeview Wildcats came to the gym they wasted no time getting an advantage. Their 22-10 first quarter margin saved them from eventual defeat. The Wildcat shooting ac­ curacy dazzled the Lion defense and th Home team trailed 39-28 at half-time. The second half was most Valley as the Lions kept pace with their guests. But it remained for the final period to tell the story of the Lion comeback. Hitting 10 of 13 from the free-throw line helped the Lion cause. Sophomore Jeff Beebe also helped with a 3 point play with 6:26 to play bringing the score to 67-61. 5 minute's later junior Aaron Snider calmly hit 4 free-throws in a row to put Valley ahead 74-71 - the first lead in the game. When Valley turned the ball over with 1:24 left to play, Lakeview scored. Hanging on to a slim 1 point lead, Valley again lost possession and Lakeview regained the lead with 1:11. Valley’s final attempt to tie the game came with 8 seconds to play but the ball hit the back of the rim and the buzzer signaled. A Lakeview victory 78-76. ■ The two league losses were a big blow to title hopes. Saranac and Central Mont­ calm remain undefeated in league play. Aaron Snider scored 18 points for the Lions against the Wildcats. Jeff Beebe added 17, Tony Joostberns 14, Pat Kersjes 10, and Jeff Mead 11. Tony Joostberns pulled down 14 rebounds to lead that department. The Lions travel to Montabella Tuesday night for a very tough contest before the Christmas break.

The slate of new officers selected to serve with An­ drus in 1980 is: Ahmo Jor­ dan, vice president; Dave Mace, treasurer, and Terril Thomas, recording and corresponding secretary. Jordan complimented Andrus on the job he had done for the Chamber the past year. “There’s work to be done,” Andrus said of the presidency, “You soon learn to just roll up your shirt sleeves and do it.” During his tenure as Chamber president, Andrus has been active in promoting the new Kent-Barry-Eaton Connecting Railroad, which runs through Nashville on a Grand Rapids to Ver­ montville route. He was recently named to chair a citizens’ advisory committee to act as a liaison between new owners of the K-B-E line and the communities served by the railway. Andrus was also recently appointed to the Board of Directors of the Barry County Economic Development Corp., designed to promote in­ dustrial and business growth in the county. In other business at Wednesday’s meeting, the Chamber discussed the recent Christmas parade and other holiday events sponsored by the organization. The possibilty of tran­ splanting a live pine to Central Park for use as a permanent Christmas tree was considered. A cut tree was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Tim Boucher of Nashville and erected in the park this year. Children of the com­ munity decorated the tree with homemade ornaments, following the Chamber’s December 8th Christmas parade. If a live pine is placed in the park, the Chamber would probably secure additonal lighted decorations for future holiday seasons, Andrus said Wednesday. Year-round storage of Santa’s House was also discussed by the Chamber. The building is currently situated in Central Park, after recent renovation. Paint purchased by the Chamber was applied by Nashville’s DPW crew. Carpeting donated by Johnson’s Furniture was installed in the house by Andrus. The Chamber approved payment Wednesday of $33 for materials used by Maple Valley 7th grade art students in constructing six papiermache cartoon heads for Nashville’s recent Christ­ inas parade. Creative talents of the students drew many compliments Wednesday from Chamber members. The organization will retain the heads for use in future community events. Ways to increase Chamber Commerce membership in 1980 became the final topic of conversation at Wednesday’s meeting. Andrus said he would like to see “paper members” become more active in the organization. Invoices for 1980 dues will soon be sent to Chamber members by newly-elected treasurer Dave Mace. After a brief discussion on the possibility of raising the yearly fee, the organization decided to maintain the current rate of $25 for business and $15 for associate (non-business) memberships. Re-elected Nashville Chamber of Commerce president Charles Andrus, Jr., (standing) reviews plans for the upcoming year with his new slate of 1980 officers, seated left to right: Dave Mace, treasurer; Terril Thomas, recording and corresponding secretary; and Ahmo Jordan, vice president. The four were selected last Wednesday at a dinner meeting of the organization. Cub Scouts build float for parade Cub Scout Pack 3176 participated in Nashville’s Christmas parade December 8 by making their own float which was part of the parade line-up through the village. In last week’s Maple Valley News, the Cub Scouts’ float was identified as a Boy Scout entry. Nashville’s cubs are a growing unit with about 70 boys participating in the local unit.

Monday evening the Adrien Pufpaffss were supper guests of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Van Nocker of Lacey. Incidentally, Mrs. Pufpaff (the former Robie Davis) told us she used to work for the late Mary White’s Main Cafe back in the 1930’s. Robie was with the restaurant in both its two Main Street locations and later worked for Mary when she prepared and served meals in her home. Mary White was the subject of a recent “Memories of the Past” story. Miss Marcia Bell of Ann Arbor was a recent overnight guest of her aunt and uncle, Fern and Vein Hawblitz of Nashville. The Builders Class of Nashville United Methodist Church will meet Wednesday, December 19, for a potluck dinner at parsonage. Time of the event is 7 p.m. Christmas baskets are being provided for needy families in the Nashville area through an effort spearheaded by thelocal United Methodist Church. Ina community-wide church effort, donors are being sought for canned goods and other non-perishable foods. Donations may be left at any Nash­ ville church. The goods will be gathered and arranged in baskets Thursday, December 20th, and delivered by volunteer workers the following day. The Nashville Woman’s Literary Club will meet Wed­ nesday, December 19, at the home of Mrs. Margaret Swiger of Nashville. Assisting the hostess with serving will be the tea committee comprised of Mrs. Nita Brown and Mrs. Bessie Myers. Entertainment for the 7:30 p.m. event will be furnished by Maurice Purchis of Nashville, who will demonstrate his craft of creating stained glass art objects. Sunday, December 30, a newly-formed gospel trio, “The Brothers” of Canton, Ohio, will be performing during 11 a.m. Sunday services at the Nashville Baptist Church. The trio is part of the original Cathedral Quartet, a group which drew a capacity crowd to the local church for Sunday af­ ternoon and evening performances iffNovember. The Nashville Police Department handled 130 complaints in the two month period of October and November, acting chief Sgt. Gene Koetje reported to the village council last Thursday. Major complaints included 9 malicious destructions of property, 8 bad checks, 9 accidents, 3 family fights, 2 breaking - and - enterings, 4 larcenies and 1 unat­ tended death. Four arrests, all for misdemeanors, were made by the NPD in the twomonth period. The local department also gave 8 assists to the Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, and 5 to Eaton County. Nashville officers issued 13 moving violation and 19 parking tickets during the October through November span and revoked the driving privileges of two school students who exhibited unsafe driving habits. The Nashville police car logged 4,823 miles, using 429 gallons of gas, in the two months covered bySgt. Koetje’s report. Village Hall will be closed all day Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, the Nashville council decided Thursday. Past policy has been to grant village employees a day - and - ahalfholiday and village officials felt it was not economically practical to open the hall for Monday morning only. This year only, village employees will receive a two-day holiday for both Christmas and New Year. Village employees will each receive a Christmas bonus of $20 in scrip to be spent in Nashville stores, the council decided Thursday. The scrip bonus has been an annual tradition over the past several years. Gerald Shoup of Nashville was appointed to a seat on the village’s Planning and Zoning Commission by the council last week.

Nash (RDimondale) said today that the passage of legislation legalizing and controlling strikes for municipal and public school employees will “help to fill the public policy vacuum which results from collective bargaining empasse.” Nash said the five-bill package which passed the House Tuesday provides rules to regulate the conduct of strikes for all public employees except policemen, firemen, and civil servants who are not allowed to strike. “I am pleased with the shape in which these bills passed,” Nash said. “It’s been a long, difficult process in coming un with a workable plan for this very serious issue, but I am confident that strikes that do occur in the future will be settled quickly and within the guidelines we have established in this package of bills.” Nash noted that the package includes provisions to: - allow only employers to initiate a request for binding arbitration in the case of a public employees’ strike. - allow binding arbitration only after the issuance of a court injunction which states that the continuation of a strike'poses a threat to the “health and safety of the community.” - require that the set­ tlement reached during binding arbitration not exceed the capacity of the community to pay for the wage and benefit increases. - require that the chief arbitrator in a binding ar; bitration case be a resident of the community involved. - require that settlements Vermontville youth attends livestock show at MSU Eight Eaton County young people exhibited livestock at the 1979 Great Lakes Youth Livestock Expo, held Dec. 6, 7, & 8 at Michigan State University.

The board members voted to accept a letter of resignation from Patricia Reinbold, vocal music teacher, effective at the end of the-first semester. She has been offered a position with the Eaton Intermediate School District as facilitator of program for the gifted. A group of interested parents and bus drivers were in attendance at the meeting regarding school bus driver Joyce Dillon concerning the five day suspension issued December 5th related to the general operation of the school bus. A number of parents presented their concerns relative to the operation of the school bus. The board of Education was presented with a petition signed by a majority of the parents having children riding that particular bus asking that Mrs. Dillon be removed as the bus driver. The board members held an executive session to discuss the matter. After the executive session the board members voted unanimously to suspend Joyce Dillon from bus driving and a maximum of thirty days pay be given her with the right to a hearing at a later date.

Gifts of blood Christmas Eye Every year, 3 counties from the 34 counties belonging to the Regional Blood Center in Lansing, are designated to hold a Bloodmobile on Christmas Eve Day. This year it is Barry County’s turn. It is our responsibility to collect at' least 100 units of blood. We know it is a bad timfe of the year to ask for donors, but blood is needed more at the Holiday Season than any other time of the year. The Barry County Christmas Bloodmobile will be held on December 24th, at the First Methodist Church, 209 West Green Street, Hastings, from 10 a.m. to 4 —p.m. Anyone between the ages of 17 and 65, who is in good health, may donate. All 17 year olds are reminded to bring a written permission slip signed by a parent or guardian. Slips may be obtained at the Red Cross office at 116 East State Street, (above J. C. Pen­ ney’s). Those wishing to donate, may call the Red Cross office 945-3122, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., to schedule an ap­ pointment. Although this does not guarantee a waiting period, it does insure a smooth flow of donors, and it will make the wait as short as possible, usually only a few minutes.

The Governor has said he will veto the bill due to that, and I support his position. WATERED WETLANDS - Senate Bill 3, to regulate Michigan’s wetlands, would require wetland ow ners to get a permit before changing them but grants exemptions for farmers; a recent amendment could require state purchase of many wetlands PAY INCREASE? * Although an initial recommendation proposed a 10 percent pay increase for state workers next year, nearly all department heads have urged the Civil Service Commission to hold it to 7 percent due to severe economic conditions. STRIKE PACKAGE - The Senate is now considering several bills which would for the first time allow strikes by public employees including teachers. The main bill is HB 4045 which specifies binding arbitration for disputes; however, it also has a provision prohibiting an arbitrator from making any award that will force a district to increase taxes or lay off workers. NO ADS - The legislature's Joint Committee on Ad­ ministrative Rules has disapproved proposed rules designed to increase competition in beer sales which included per­ mission to advertise prices. These were prompted by the increase in beer prices since our bottle-ban law took effect. The Committee felt the rules would place small retail stores at a disadvantage. STILL, GILLS - A federal court did not ban gill-net fishing by Indians, after all. The U.S. Appeals Court is considering a case involving two Michigan Indian tribes seeking freedom from Michigan fishing controls; another tribe sought and was denied entry into the suit; a court clerk misinterpreted this and announced that the denial was for free-fishing permission. LICENSING REGULATION - The House has approved HB 4114, which recodifies Michigan’s licensing and regulation statutes to improve uniformity in licensing and complaint procedures and to remove impediments to both public policy and access to certain professions. BUDGET BILL * In the final days of session last week, both houses hammered out an agreement on HB 4189, one of the last 1980 budget bills. The major controversy of this “Grants and Transfers" bill was whether or not to keep the Pontiac Stadium subsidy: it was retained. PROSECUTORIAL NO - The Michigan Prosecuting At­ torneys Association has gone on record as opposed to HB 4774, the proposed revision of Michigan’s juvenile code, saying it could result in poorer protection for abused and neglected children and is procedurally unworkable.

There, in the midst of the animals, on a bed of straw, in a cold, dark stable the tiny King showed us the meaning of love. Let us not forget that first Christmas night. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Monday, Secember 24, 1979—Page 2 Nashville News Church and school programs have consistently played an important role in Nashville’s traditional Christmas ob­ servances, as evidenced by this week’s “Memories of the Past”. Howard E. Brumm, a former local resident currently living in Florida, recently wrote to share his thoughts on the tradition of amusing holiday presentations at Nashville High School during the early to mid-1920’s. The programs always took place just before Christmas vacation, with all four grades participating - each providing a 30-minute con­ tribution. “The entertainment was all homemade,” wrote Brumm, “with what we had then and there.” One year, Brumm recalls, his class staged a skit depicting what they thought went on in a teachers’ meeting. “Our superintendent then was Rex Chapman, a blustery kind of fellow,” reminisced Brumm. “One of his favorite expressions to a careless student was ’Do you have to have a brick house fall on you before you get down to work?’ ” Minie Furniss, a strict disciplinarian of the old school, was kindergarten teacher at that time. “We had a lot of fun selecting members of our class to take the part of various teachers >and our superintendent,” recalls Brumm. “We even had several practice sessions to get all the right expressions down to a fine art.” It was also part of the game to keep secret from the other classes what was planned, so it was with great anticipation that each student watched and listened to presentations by the other three high school grades. “The only one I can remember now is the teachers’ meeting,” noted Brumm, “and that was probably because the class had picked me to portray Superintendent Chapman.” Brumm also recalls that school vacation began immediately after the Christmas show and it was probably a good thing, he believes. “A two-week vacation period time for the teachers to forget what we had said about them,” Brumm concluded. Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis of Nashville entertained several residents of the new Maple Valley Arms at her apartment there last Tuesday afternoon. Honored guests were Alice and Tim Boucher of Nashville, co-owners of the apartment complex. Others in attendance at the gathering were Margaret Wagner, Veta Roberts, Elizabeth Lynch, Edith Jones, Oneta Laurent, Kathy Smeconoki, Mildred McPeck, By Susan Hinckley Melissa Showalter, Veda Guy, and Bertha and Bill Harmon. Cake, ice cream and coffee were served and a pleasant time of visiting enjoyed. Entertaining at a recent “koffee klatch” at her new home on Nashville Highway was Mrs. Bob (Lois) Gardner. Present for a dessert luncheon and Christmas gift exchange were Barbara Gagne of Vermontville, and Margaret Swiger and Gloria Johncock, both of Nashville. All four ladies formerly worked together at the cafeteria in the local school system and later formed a small birthday club. Also a member but not present at the recent gathering was Bar­ bara Mix of rural Nashville. Mrs. William (Virginia) Cox, a former village resident now of Houston, Texas, has been in Nashville visiting friends during a 3-weeks stay in this area. She plans to stay over the holidays and will be joined by her husband. Mrs. Cox has been visiting relatives in the Vermontville area and is staying with her daughter and son-in-law, Cindy and Randy Grant of rural Vermontville. Bus workers at the Nashville Baptist Church will gather for an 8 a.m. Saturday morning breakfast at the church, January 5th. Progress is being made in settling the recently restored rooms on the upper floor of Putnam Public Library. Classic fiction and music books have been placed in the John and Catherine Beedle memorial room and, with new carpeting and shelving, it is virtually completed. The woodwork in the room also was refurbished in the process. Now book shelving must be installed in the recently wallpapered and carpeted Rare Book Room. In addition, the library board is hoping for a donation of shelving or a suitable bookcase for the Meeting Room which now houses a religious book collection and will, hopefully, also hold the library’s art books collection. Anyone who can help along these lines is asked to call Librarian La Duska Sheldon or this reporter. The Meeting Room was restored in the late 1960’s by the local Woman’s Literary Club. The fourth restored room on the second floor is the Local and Michigan History Room, which presently contains adequate built-in shelving. Ruth and Jack Wallace of Guy Road have become local distributors for Hearth Mate stoves made in Old Saybrook, Connecticut. The wood burning units can be installed in existing fireplaces orTised as a free-standing stove. The Wallaces, formerly of Vermontville, this week join the list of Maple Valley News advertisers. They have lived south ofNashville three years. Mrs. Wallace is a substitute teacher at Fuller Street school and Jack is employed by Fisher Body. A “Watch Night” service is planned for New Year’s Eve by the Nashville United Methodist Church. Families of the church will gather at the Community House at 7 p.m., bringing along snacks and games to be enjoyed during the evening. Just before midnight a worship service will begin. Caroling for elderly shut-ins and others in our village brought special joy to last week’s meeting of the Monday Night Special, a local gospel and bluegrass instrumental and vocal group which gathers at the home of Lowell and Joan McMillon every Monday evening. Along with joyous songs -­ baskets of fresh fruit, homemade breads and candies were delivered to several Nashville folks last Monday night. Following the caroling session, members of the group gathered at the McMillon home on Guy Road for a bountiful turkey feast prepared by Joan.

Slides, trinkets and handicrafts from Brazil fascinated members of the Nashville Baptist Church PFC Missionary group when they met Thursday evening, December 13th, at the church to hear Bea Klingensmith speak. A missionary for 17 years, she is currently on leave from her Brazilian post. Miss Klingensmith delivered a beautiful message to the PFC ladies to contribute to the monthly support of the Brazilian mission.

The two sisters enjoyed a shopping excursion to Saks Fifth Avenue in Somerset Mall. The Myers drove on to Pontiac to visit his parents, and then bowled in a Sunday tournament at Royal Oak. Returning to Troy they picked up Mrs. Ramsey for the journey home. She remained at the Myers home overnight Sunday before returning to Nashville. Mrs. Ednah McConnell, a former Nashville resident now of Battle Creek, was in the village last week for a 5-day visit with her sister, Mrs. Viola Beystrum. While here she en­ joyed attending the Friday evening Christmas party at the Nashville Senior Citizen’s Nutrition Site. Photos of that party, published in last week’s Maple Valley News, had special significance for Mrs. Edna Gib­ bons of Nashville. The pictures helped her complete a Site scrapbook she has been keeping for the past two years, starting with news coverage of the Nashville Nutrition Site’s 1977 Christmas party. X Christmas vacation for Maple Valley schools started at the close of school Thursday, December 20, and classes will not resume until January 3rd. Local readers will be interested to learn that former Nashville area resident Mrs. Frank (Lola) Reynard, now of Rogers City, celebrated her 90th birthday last Wednesday, December 19. Mrs. Reynard and her late husband lived on a farm southeast of Nashville for over 50 years before moving to Rogers City in 1972 to be near their daughter, Mrs. Melbourne Smith, and family. Frank died there 18 months later but Lola, despite two heart attacks, has recovered and is doing nicely. Nashville folks will recall that Mrs. Reynard was a Sunday School teacher for a class of young children at the former Evangelical Church here. In a letter written last week to-Mrs. Clarence (Bunny) Shaw of Nashville, Mrs. Reynard told of a surprise birthday party staged for her at the Christmas meeting of her church circle on December 12. The hostess baked a cake and put candles on it, and the ladies all sang “Happy Birthday,” Lola wrote. It was a complete surprise taher; she suspected nothing though the girls had all seemed anxious that Lola would be able to at­ tend Jhe meeting. A birthday celebration that would not come as a surprise to Mrs. Reynard was a planned December 19 open house for friends and relatives. Her only wish was that her Nashville area friends could also be present. Perhaps many acquaintances would like to surprise.

Mr. and Mrs. Vaughn (Mona) Reid and daughter, Jen­ nifer, returned to Nashville last week after a 2-months tour of the western states, including stops in Texas, Arizona and Wyoming. Saturday night dinner guests of Mrs. Verna Frederick of Nashville were Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wolff of Charlotte! The many weeks of rehearsal that went into the produc­ tion of a December 16th “Old Fashioned Christmas” presentation by the Nashville Baptist Church choir was^very much in Evidence when the fabulous musical performance was staged for a sizeable audience at the church Sunday evening. Mrs. Lester DeGroot directed the program, which was a scenario based on a 19th century diary of a teen-age girl, emphasizing the simplicity of Christmas in that era. Lynn De Groot, daughter of Pastor and Mrs. Lester De Groot, gave a very convincing portrayal of the young author, backed by the choir’s many stirring renditions of favorite Christmas carols and anthems. Eleven senior citizens from Nashville joined 130 from Woodland and Lake Odessa last Saturday noon for a dinner hosted at Woodland by the Eagle’s Lodge of that village. After a lovely meal all the guests were presented with individual fruit baskets. Attending from this area were: Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Friddle, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Tegel, Mr. and Mrs. Austin Schantz, Clare Wright, Clifford Brooks, Mrs. Gladys Histead, Mrs. Esther Buckley and Mrs. Verna Frederick. Kathleen Brooks, representing the South Central Christmas The stillness of the winter landscape captures the peace and tranquility of this happy season. May you share in all its tender joys. Wheeler Marine M-66 South of Nashville The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Monday, December 24, 1979—Page 3 Michigan Commission On Aging, spoke to local senior citizens at the Nashville Nutrition Site last Wednesday about a fuel assistance program available to senior citizens, to aid them with home heating bills. Mrs. Azor Leedy of Nashville fell outdoors at her home last Tuesday and sustained a broken wrist and hip. She is presently hospitalized at Pennock where she underwent surgery Wednesday for insertion of a pin in her hip. The Nashville ambulance had two almost simultaneous calls last Tuesday afternoon. First they were summoned to the business district on Main Street to pick up a lady who had fallen. While transporting her to Pennock Hospital for treatment, a call was received that an ambulance was urgently, needed in the 800 block of Sherman St. Ass’t. Fire Chief Larry Decker responded to the radio summons and requested assistance from Vermontville’s ambulance, which soon arrived on the scene to transport a lady suffering chest pains to the hospital Nashville will have a village primary election February 18, since two persons filed for the post of village president and four persons filed for the three seats opening on the village council. 'All candidates meeting last Tuesday’s nominating petition deadline were Republicans. The general election for the village is set for March 10. (Complete details appear elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News). Teen-agers of the Nashville Church of the Nazarene presented an inspirational play, “Miracle In Bethlehem,” at special services last Monday evening and again Wednesday at 7 p.m. At this writing the Church of the Nazarene was making arrangements to host the annual community-wide Christmas Eve service, set this year for 7 p.m. Sunday, December 23rd. Rev. Robert Taylor of the Nashville Assembly of God was scheduled to deliver the address and music was to be a combined effort of the local churches.

Please call us so we can share your news with other readers. Meanwhile, have a very happy holiday! Winners claim Chamber’s treasure^ hunt prizes Ladies took all prizes claimed in last week’s Chamber of Commerce sponsored Christmas Treasure Hunt in Nashville. Ten merchants had offered a total of 100 prizes to potential winners. The goods represented hundreds of dollars worth of mer­ chandise. All winners had to do was match a special number printed on their issue of the December 12th Maple Valley News with one of ten different winning numbers posted at each participating store. Mer­ chants all report brisk traffic in their stores as potential winners checked during the Thursday -through Saturday promotion to determine if their number was listed, but only six matches were reported. At Nashville Flowers and Jewelry, Feme Green won a corsage and Fern Hawblitz won a rose bowl. Both were successful in matching the number on their newspaper with one posted in the store. Nashville Flowers and Jewelry was the only merchant reporting dual winners, though ten prizes were offered in each store. Others reporting one winner only were Simon Pharmacy, where a 10-cup Mr. Coffee coffeemaker was awarded to Betty Strodtbeck for a number match; Nash­ ville Hardware where Loretta Hoffman claimed two coffee mugs; Nashville Auto and Farm Supply where Judy Purchis won a drill set; and Carl’s Market, where a bakery pie was awarded to Janet Ward. At press time, information on possible winners at Thor­ napple General Store was not available. Four merchants report none of their offered prizes were claimed. They were Curtis Craft Center, John­ son’s Furniture, Kelley’s Variety and Mirror’s Image. MEMBER NNA Association - Founded 1885 Maple Valley News Nashville, Michigan.

Christmas would soon descend on the tiny village, nestled in the valley of the Thornapple like some quaint and picturesque greeting card. “Old Santa Claus, with whiskers more beautiful than ever, is holding out at Cap Boise’s store this week and is proving the best drawing card in town,” carrying an armful of noted the News when Christmas parcels Tuesday Christmas 1874 rolled evening,” informed the around. “Cap reports that News just before the 1880 Yule. “Ifhis loud complaints business is brisk.” Nashville’s holiday ob­ were generally heard, the servance a century ago village will have a lot more bears a striking resem­ new concrete or brick blance • to today - school sidewalks, come spring.” Then, as now, local vacations, church doings, enterprising merchants and merchants advertised their holiday wares via the News. weary shoppers. “Only ten days to “A»loose plank in the sidewalk on Washington was Christmas and I have largely responsible for the sudden replenished my stock of fall of a 200-pound man scissors, razors and Make^brotherly love a year ’round "habit”.

Wolcott announced in December 1877. “A full nickle-plated revolver, sevenshot, for $2.50, and New Year’s coming.” Firearms played an important part in early holiday celebrations, one custom that seems to have been altered by modern times. “A shooting match is planned the day before Christmas at Charley Baker's place north of Assyria,” disclosed the News in 1878. “Charley announces he has a hundred turkeys, plus ducks and geese, so get your guns, boys.” At a shoot at Charles Wilson’s place a week earlier, F. J. Purchis and W.E. Buel, both of Nashville, had together brought away nine turkeys for exactly a dollar’s worth of shooting ted. One apiece, the writer noted. holiday tradition that seems not to have changed over the years is the presentation of various church and com-. mlinity programs throughout the village. “Christmas was a gala occasion in Nashville, recorded the News in 1878. “Christmas Eve there were several hundred people at the Baptist Church, where an estimated 200 presents hung on a huge tree. On the af­ ternoon of Christmas Day a program was given at the Christian Church and many presents distributed. Then, Christmas night, came the • PERSONS INTERESTED IN THE POSITION OF...

After an hour-long program the curtain of the stage was rolled up to display a beautiful Christ­ mas arch loaded with close to 400 gifts, which were removed and distributed by Santa Claus and his assistants, “with great dispatch and orderliness,” according to the News. The 1878 opera house presentation was not without its lighter moments though, thanks to awestruck little ones whose performances were as typical as they are timeless. It had been arranged for a company of little singers, standing on a platform at the side of the stage, to sing an appropriate song as a ship loaded with presents came “sailing”, in. “They commenced all right,” related the News, “but when the curtain went up disclosing the ship sailing upon the scene in all its light and glory, the little singers were struck speechless with delight and despite loud whispers from the directors, seemed to have lost their voices,” Twenty years later, and through the turn of the century and early 1900’s, masquerade balls arranged by Hirman Walrath and his orchestra became standard Christmas Eve fare at the opera house. Prizes, often 15pound turkeys, were awarded the nicest dressed lady and most comically dressed gentleman attending the dance. Traditional holiday programs were still staged at local churches sometimes with a different twist. • “The Evangelical Sunday School this year will depart from the usual custom of having a tree at their Christmas program,” the News advised readers in 1903. “For their Christmas Eve exercises they will have a log cabin, a real building carefully made of logs, and presents will be piled in and around the structure,” Local and surrounding country schools also offered Yuletide presentations while many of the children were enjoying a temporary Continued next page— ...

Turn - of - the - century Christmas shoppers foundplentiful gift suggestions offered by local merchants and listed in a News sum­ mary by publisher Len W. Feighner, to prove that the finest holiday merchandise “can be bought right here in Nashville.” At Ed Liebhauser’s, the drug store that carried the largest stock ofjewelry in this part of the state, beautiful cut glass, hand-painted china, musical instruments, medallions, atomizers, magic lanterns, leather goods and toys were but a few of the wonderful gifts to be found. “Central Drug Store, J. C. Furniss, proprietor, features Chatelaines, ebony toilet sets, souvenir spoons, watch chains and charms, bulk perfumes and hundreds of other lovely gifts for discriminating shoppers,’’ wrote Feighner. Prices in that era were also reasonable. At W. B. Cortright’s, gold cuff links or watch chains were selling for 50 cents; fancy perfume cost 25 cents. Dolls with kid bodies and sleeping eyes in hand-painted china heads were listed at $1.25 each.

Each class competed to see which could bring in the greatest amount of canned goods and other non­ perishable foods to help fill community Christmas baskets for needy families in both Nashville and Ver­ montville. At the end of the school day Thursday it was determined that the seventh grade had won the contest.

One ofthe busiest places in Nashville at Christmastime in the early 1900’s was J. C. Hurd’s photographic gallery. “Joe says he still can take pictures and have them finished in time for Christmas gifts,” advised the News, just a week before the 1903 holiday. A quarter-century later, Christmas in Nashville had become a ciyic affair. “Thanks to the efforts of the Woman’s Literary Club, the large evergreen tree in Central Park will be lighted this week with colored lights and other decoration,” the News told readers in mid­ December 1928. “The village council has appropriated $10 toward the light fund and the WLC will stand the ad­ ditional $8 estimated as needed.” The school operetta, “Santa Claus & Co.,” had to be cancelled that year due to a widespread flu outbreak, but Nashville’s newly lighted tree cheered the holiday season. Eleven years later, the village took on an even more festive air. “This year for the first time Nashville has Christmas decorations on Main Street,” boasted the News in 1939. “At the in­ tersection of Maple Street four garlands of evergreen and colored lights stretch to the center of the street, where a lighted cross is suspended.” The village council had approved expenditures for the materials and hoped additional decorations could be purchased each year until “eventually there will be lights enough to decorate the entire length of the business district.” This year', that long­ standing dream came true. Thanks to the local Chamber of Commerce, 40 years after that z first cross was suspended over Main Street, the length of the business district is lighted with lamp post decorations - linking Nashville's Christmases Past with the Present. Alleigence followed by reminders of coming events including the Roller skating party at Thornapple Rink Thursday, Dec. 27, from 2 p.m. till 4 p.m., and the trip to the Owls Hockey Game in Grand Rapids Dec. 30 by 5:30 p.m. to pick up their tickets. Plan on leaving shortly thereafter, as a group for the game. Cubmaster Meade handed out the following badges to the Cubs who had earned them: Wolf badges went to Cody Slocum and William Gatchell; a Bear badge to Scott Reid; Webelos pins to George Steinbrecher, Matt Peake, Kenny Bishop, Pat Hagon, Danny Kellogg, Steve Smith, Tony Wolfe, Any Finkler,. Marty Eye, Jim Bryans, Tim Mulking and Scott Reid; William Gatchell earned two recruiter badges for helping John Vincent and Brad Hoffman find their way into the cubing experience. Stanley King is also a new scout who was welcomed into the Pack. Santa Claus showed up to help present gifts and treats to the children. The jolly old elf talked to the kids, promising them all kinds of goodies for Christmas if they continued to be good! The crowd had a chance to sample a wide assortment of Christmas cookies before leaving. The Cubs each took a genius kit home to make into an original creation and bring back to the January Pack Meeting for judging. Leaders are hoping for some extra special “things” to startoff the 50th anniversary year of Cub Scouting. in Nashville.

Thought - Loving kindness is a daily offering. Decking the doors with Christmas cheer... Classroom door decorating was the subject of a contest, sponsored by the Maple Valley Senior High Student Council. The first hour classes each decorated the door of their classroom using a Christmas card given to them as a pattern. Judging was based on the best replica with consideration for types of materials used, neatness, color theme, etc. Winners were designated in two categories with a first and second place in both junior and senior high. The winners were awarded cakes made by the student council committee. This Christmas tree decor took first place in the Junior High division and was created by seventh graders, under the direction of their math teacher Mike Booher (right). With him are Jerry Kent (from left) and Todd Smith who helped make the door decoration. The door decorating contest is an annual project but this is the first year it has been based on creating replicas of Christmas cards (earlier it was original design). The winning doors were very good replicas of the Christmas cards assigned to class. Classes did have the option of choosing their own card to copy, but all doors had to be patterened after a holiday greeting card.

The other posts are also two year terms. A run-off election is required because two per­ sons filed for the position of village president and four persons are vying for three open trustee seats on the Nashville Village Council. All filed as Republicans. Incumbent Village President Harold Christiansen will seek reelection to his seat opposed by Theodore W. Spoelstra, a present member of the village council whose trustee seat will expire when the president’s post opens April 1st. Four men are seeking the three open trustee seats on the village council. Lonny Kienutske, a present trustee, will seek re-election to the post to which he was ap­ pointed in 1979. Other can­ didates seeking election to the council would be newcomers to the seats. They are Carl L. Tobias, C. John Hughes and Calvin D. Rizor. In addition to Spoelstra’s and Kienutske’s trustee seats, the term of trustee Sandy Kohfelt will expire in the spring. She is not seeking re-election. Unopposed in the February primary will be Village Clerk Susan M. Cork­ well, Village Treasurer Lois J. Elliston and Village Assessor Justin W. Cooley.

Check the thermostat in your water heater and set it back to around 140 degrees F. Another possibility is to insulate your water heater. Most of the newer ones are insulated but some people have even wrapped extra insulation around the outside and found that this greatly increases efficiency. Another consideration is the size of the water heater. In the past, when we Americans always felt that bigger was better, most of us bought bigger heaters than we need.

Heating hot water in your home is the second biggest utility expense you have, according to Eaton County Extension Home Economist, Ann Ross. Running the furnace, the heating and cooling system, is first. Providing hot water for the family uses the second greatest amount of energy. So it’s important to cut back on hot water and be con­ servative. There are a number of ways to do that. Most water heaters when purchased are set for 150 degrees F, higher than most families need.

WHEREAS, The three municipalities, parties to this agreement, have been operating an ambulance in connection with the fire department, and wishing to improve the service to the people have now established a separate ambulance department, and WHEREAS It is comtemplated and agreed that the equipment shall be manned and operated by volunteer personnel, and shall be managed by a board of six members to be selected from the town town­ ship boards and village council of the municipalities, two from each township and two from the village, NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY MUTUALLY AGREED AS FOLLOWS: 1. Equipment and housing shall be the property of the two town­ ships. Funds for equipment and housing,, when not available from other means, shall be provided by the two townships as follows: Castleton - two-thirds; Maple Grbve - one-third. 2. Operating expenses, when not available from oth - means, shall be shared equally by the three municipalities, and a true and accurate account ?of the expenditures shall be kept by the ambulance board and reported to the various municipalities from t time to time, at least annually. The ambulance board shall call upon the various municipalities for this portion of the expense as they shall deem necessary. 3. It is agreed that each township shall appoint two members and the village shall appoint two members from their legislative bodies to act as this ambulance board. Said board shall have general supervision of equipment, finances and policies of the department, and may appoint a chairman, clerk and treasurer from its members to handle administrative details. Said board shall meet once a month, or oftener upon notice by the chairman, at such times and places as they shall deem necessary. 4. The attendants may elect officers from within their member­ ship as they deem necessary and shall present the president and vice president to the administrative board for final approval. 5. The president shall be enpowered' to supervise, instruct, assign, dismiss, counsel or suspend any member of the department whose conduct is not conducive to the safety, morall good and efficiency of the department; or any member whose insubordination causes a liability to the department; or gny member who continually has disregard for the teamwork or general rules of the department. 6. Any member of the department shall be privileged and deem it his or her duty to come before the ambulance board if that member believes he or she has matters of, importance, or any injustice has been done, or a general review of' policy would be helpful to either him or herself or the ambulance board, or for better relations or more efficient operations of the department. These matters should be first discussed with the department head. However, if the issue cannot be settled within the department, the ambulance board shall be ready to assist. This agreement supersedes all former agreements pertaining to an ambulance department concerning all three municipalities involved. CASTLETON TOWNSHIP BOARD: Supervisor JUSTIN W. COOLEY Clerk GERALDINE M. LONG Treasurer GENEVA BRUMM NELSON RASEY Trustee Date: Date: Date: Date: Nov. 7. 1979 Nov.7,1979 Nov. 7, 1979 Nov.7, 1979 Nashville ordinance change verifies annual fee for temporary mobile homes and special use permits With the deletion of one sentence and the addition of one word to Nashville’s Zoning Ordinance, village officials Thursday altered a difficult-to-enforce section­ regulating mobile homes. The council action followed a December 13th public hearing on the proposed changes. No public input was received at that meeting. ‘‘Your zoning ad­ ministrator said it (changes to the ordinance) would make it so he could enforce it,” Carl Tobias, chairman of Nashville’s Planning and Zoning Commission told the council Thursday. His board, he said, had recommended the amendments to an or­ dinance section which had required all occupied mobile homes to pay a $10 annual permit fee. After Thursday’s action, mobile homes in Nashville’s R-2 (residential) district that are intended for permanent living quarters will be exempted from paying the annual permit fee, while keeping the law in ffect on a 6-months renewal basis for temporary mobile home and special use permits. Tobias explained that mobile homes classed as permanent dwellings are on the local tax rolls and owners should not have to pay the yearly permit fee, which was initiated for those not paying property taxes. The council was in agreement with Tobias, but trustee Lonny Kienutske cast what he termed a “qualified” no vote. “I feel Section 3.07 (of the zoning ordiance) should be reviewed as a whole not par t by part,” added Kienutske. “We need to clarify the whole section to avoid future confusion.” He pointed out other piecemeal changes that have been made to the ordinance. Kientske said he felt a “qualified no vote is the only way a minority opinion can get any attention.” In other action relating to Nashville’s Zoning Ordinance, the council ap­ proved $5 per month payment to each of the seven Nash to help seniors with property tax forms State Respresentative I Hall in Potterville; and 1 MAPLE GROVE TOWNSHIP BOARD. p.m. at the Eaton Rapids Ernie Nash (R-Dimondale) Supervisor THEODORE R.

North Carolina chiropractor and son of Rev. and Mrs. E. F. Rhoades of Dr. Von E. Rhoades of Smithfield, North Carolina, has been assembling intricate classic automobile models for the past 10 years.- His parents,-Rev. and Mrs. E. F. Rhoades of Nashville, furnished this photo of Von with one of his painstakingly constructed replicas, built from kits costing as much as $300. The picture was taken by Pete Hulth, staff writer for The Smithfield Herald, a Johnston County newspaper which recently spotlighted Dr. Rhoades in a special feature story by Hulth. Nashville, was the subject of a recent feature story published in The Smithfield a Her-ald, bi-weekly newspaper serving Johnston County. Dr. Rhoades’ hobby of assembling elaborate models of classic,^ automobiles was the topic of a story written by Herald staff writer, Pete Hulth. In his story, Hulth tells about one of Rhoades’ favorite models - a replica of a 1932 Rolls Royce coupe built from a $300 kit pur­ chased in Italy. According to Hui th’s report, there are 2,139 individual parts in the Rolls model, including 454 pieces of high-impact plastic, 1,059 pieces of brass, 430 pieces of stainless steel, and 256 different types of materials such as copper and rubber. “There’s the wiring under the dash, the small spark­ plugs, the ignition wiring whatever the genuine article has,” wrote Hulth. The article said Dr. Rhoades estimates he spends from 150 to 200 hours to assemble one of his larger models. So far, he has built 34, and most are displayed under glass cases. The models range from 12 to'30 inches long and include, in addition to the Rolls, replicas of Mercedes, Alfo Romeos, and a Fiat. The ’ cars contain func­ tional parts under the hood as well as'such operational features as headlights, windows and luggage rack trunk, Hulth explained. Dr. Rhoades, who has been constructing the models for the past ten years, is a native of Ludington. He has been a practicing chiropractor at Smithfield since 1954.

Nearly 1400 bills were introduced in the House, 900 in the Senate; less than 10 percent of these have become law. The legislature reconvenes January 9, 1980. PARTY PRIMARY Despite requests from Democratic Senators, the Attorney General has said he will not challenge the Democratic Party’s jules bn selection of National Con­ vention delegates, who will be chosen in caucus rather than in an open election. REORGANIZATION WAIT Last-minute un­ certainties caused the delay of SB 652, which provides a mechanism for re­ organization of Wayne County government. The Governor has said such legislation is a pre-requisite for any state aid to Wayne County. WETLANDS BILLS Governor Milliken will soon sign into law SB 3, which defines and regulates the use of Michigan wetlands: generally, wetlands may not be altered without a permit from the DNR. There are many exemptions for far­ mers. Also approved is SB 443. which provides for a complete inventory of land and its use in Michigan, to be made within the next three years. UTILITY RATES - One of the first-bills the House will consider in 1980 is SB 29, which provides for power companies to charge lower rates for basic “lifeline” blocks of electrical usage, with higher rates for more usage. This applies to residential customers and is designed to benefit those who have low consumption, as well as to^ encourage con­ servation. TAX INCREASE - One of the final 1979 bills approved was HB 4730, which in­ creases the “severance” tax on oil and natural gas (at the point it is produced) from 2 percent up to 4 or 6.6 percent and 5 percent, respectively. The more than $25 million thus raised this fiscal year will be used to help pay for the home heating assistance program. TRAVEL AGENTS - Now in the Senate is HB 4523, which would require travel agents to register with the state. If an agent does not register, or collects money for travel which he does not provide and thus loses his license, he could not do business in Michigan. OPEN PARENTS HB 4164-65, approved in mid­ December, allow the release of adoption information with the consent of a child’s biological parents. However, if one parent wants to withhold his or her identity, the identity of both parents will be withheld. DRINK ORDER The Liquor Control Commission has approved a special order to allow licensed bars, restaurants and other on­ premise drinking establish­ ments io serve alcoholic beverages to their patrons until 4 a.m. on January 1, 1980.

Our community seems to have an over dose. There are those who criticize everything the Village Council does, or pick on certain Council persons as ineffective. The persons who might run and are qualified are too busy or the job too time consuming for them to bother, or most have a “let Joe do it” attitude. Many millions of your tax dollars filter thru, the Councils treasurer. The decisions on what and when to spend is the Councils. The doors to the Council Meeting rooms are always open to the public. They do like your orderly input on matters of the welfare, safety, im­ provements, ordinances of our Village. Not only your criticism, but your support. There will be items of importance coming up: Police Protection, Water and Sewer, their maintance and quality, and mains to be repaired and-or replaced. Water Tower and Wells, S.treets and Boundaries, Landfill. A plan for con­ sistency in the implementing of our Ordinances and the ever present problem of Village equipment and its maintence and replacement: Remember all the things you think the Village should be doing (pick the priority) will be paid by you. You can have all you can afford or are willing to pay for. In the matter of Health and Safety our choices are nil The Council will do what must be done for your protection. We would not want it any other way. They are persons like you and I. If they have some special in­ terest they do not belong there. If you play the apathic role, you will end up getting just what you deserve, “A view from the dark side of the moon”. You do have some choices in the next election.

Persons on supplemental security income get fuel bill relief— Approximately 120 thousand Michigan residents who get Federal supplemental security income (SSI) payments will receive an extra $177 in early January to help pay higher oil, gas or electric bills this winter. The extra check is in addition to the regular monthly SSI payment, ac­ cording to Robert Fleminger, social security manager in Grand Rapids. Social Security administers the SSI program. Most SSI recipients who received SSI checks for December are eligible for the special energy check. SSI recipients living in in­ stitutions where Medicaid pays the majority of the cost will not receive a special energy assistance check since it is unlikely they will Extension service offers inflation fighter series Inflation is a lot like the weather: it’s easy to talk about but hard to do anything about. There are some ways to ease inflation’s squeeze on family finances, however. These will be explored in a series • of six monthly newsletters, “Making Ends Meet”, beginning in February. The newsletters, developed by Extension family resource management specialists at Michigan State University, are designed to help families cope with the rising prices and shrinking dollars. The first issue will lay the groundwork for the rest. It will explain how inflation is affecting wages and prices, who is being hit the hardest, and how consumers are responding. Later issues will focus on ways you can cope with the rising costs of goods and services. These include reducing expenditure, raising income, sharing or trading skills and goods with others, increasing home production of goods and services, and sharpening shopping skills. The cost of the whole series, all six issues, is minimal. The deadline for subscribing in January 15th. To get your name on the mailing list, contact Ann Ross, Extension Home Economist, 126 N.

People who received a December SSI check but do not get a special energy assistance check by January 15 should contact social security. This is especially true of SSI recipients who use direct deposit and may not have kept social security informed of their current mailing address. All special energy checks are being mailed to the homes of SSI recipients, including those using direct deposit. Special energy assistance checks are being sent to SSI recipients by the Social Security Administration and to other low income people by the Department of Social Services. Low income residents facing an energy related emergency should contact the County Services Office. The special energy check for each SSI recipient in Michigan will be the same. The amounts vary from State-to-State, however, ranging from $34 in Hawaii to $250 in eleven States. The individual State amounts are determined by a 3-part formula which takes into account local weather conditions, the number of SSI recipients in the State and certain energy con­ sumption statistics for the State.

All business people and any individual interested in the promotion and general good of our community are welcome and encouraged to join. An interesting new store has been opened on Main Street in the south portion of the former White Elephant Store (old Post Office). Called the “Small World Im­ ports”, it is owned and operated by Mrs. Neil (Gloria) Spidel and Mr. and Mrs. Ahmo Jordan of Nashville. Mr. and Mrs. Spidel were former owners of the Steakhouse Restaurant.

The Hackneys live in Westland, near Detroit. Mr. and Mrs. Larry Corkwell enjoyed a Christmas visit with his sister and family, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Sheridan and daughter, Andrea, from Alvin, Texas. Mr. Sheridan is employed by the Mansanto Corp, in Alvin, as a chemical engineer. Members of the Nashville Village Council will soon begin work on the new budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Preparation of this requires many additionaljiours of work by all the members as they try to stretch expected revenues to cover anticipated expenses. The first meeting will be January 5 (open to the public) at Village Hall. Several additional meetings will undoubtedly be required before the final figures can be determined and approved. Mr. and Mrs. William Cox (the former Mrs. Virginia Furlong) have moved to Houston, Texas after selling their home on Washington Street. Virginia will be missed by the many customers at Carl’s Market where she had been employed. Son, Ross Furlong, has recently joined the U.S. Navy. The Village DPW crew is ex­ panding space at the Village Hall by installing a dehumidifier and shelving in the basement for storage of village records. This will free more area on the main floor for office use and meetings. Mr. and Mrs. Dick Johncock and family of Hastings were. Christmas day hosts to Mrs. Gloria Johncock and Doug of Nashville, Miss Debbie Laurie, Mr. and Mrs. Larry Corkwell, Lisa and Rebecca and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Thorton, Jennifer and Brandi, all of Nashville. Following dinner a phone call was received from Sheryl (Johncock) West who is a beautician in Colorado Springs, Colo., wishing them all a Merry Christmas.

The first vehicle which was entering the station was struck in the rear by another vehicle traveling south on Main Street. One driver was taken to Pennock Hospital for examination and released. Mrs. Helen Ftirlong of Nash­ ville made a Christmas trip to Pinconning to visit her son and family, the Fred Burkhardts.

Putnam Public Library was the recent recipient of a painting done by the late Dr. Jack Brumm, a former Nashville resident. Depicting the old Riverside Mill and Thornapple River Dam, the painting was done in the 1960’s while Dr. Brumm resided with his sister, the late June (Brumm) Nesbet. It was presented to the library by Mrs. Nesbet’s daughter, Mrs. David (Jeanne) Long of Portage. Christmas guests of Mr. and Mrs. George Cogswell were Mr. and Mrs. Bud Wolfe and son, Mark, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Curtis, Mr. and Mrs. William Schantz, Mrs. Ruth Varney, and Mr. and Mrs. Robert Varney and son, Russell. The staff at Putnam Library has expressed appreciation in this cold weather for the recent winterizing done for the library by the village DPW crew. This project involved the installation of some storm windows and in- sulation of heat ducts which has y. made the Working area much more comfortable. A new id-channel police scanner unit has. been recently installed in the Nashville Police Department cruiser.- This new unit will permit transmission between our Nashville police car and Michigan State Police units in the area. It will also allow our local officer to hear the radio transmissions between the Nash­ ville Fire Department units and the base station in Hastings, which will facilitate response time of the police car to the scene of a fire for traffic control or other assistance. This is especially essential now that our firemen are summoned by personal monitors instead of the old. fire siren system. Our police officer will now receive the fire alarm simultaneously with the firemen. . * 25th Anniversary to be celebrated— The children of Mr. & Mrs. Carl Aspinall request the pleasure of your company at a reception to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of their parents’ marriage on Sunday, January 8, 1978, from 1 to 5 p.m., VFW Post, Nashville, Mich.

And oil round on observing eye con see people celebrating this season and its gift to nature as our camera did on Friday. Some were young and some were old- and some were stuck in between. But all were sharing the same interests and the same love for the season. Some were trying out new toys. Some were using the same old favorites. But, old or new, the sport was the same and it was hard to tell if the age of the toy made any difference in the fun they were all having. Some came from far away. Some merely stepped into the backyard. But no matter the distance traveled to get there, the pleasures were universal. Some experienced thrills for the first time in their new lives. Some experienced the same thrills for the hundreth time. Yet, the excitement in those moments was no less for one person than another. And so life and the season was enjoyed on Friday a special season for those who became a part of it for a short time. Bruce Peake (far left) of Mulliken, Alan Peake (center) of Grand Ledge, and B.

John Deere Tractors 40,50,60,70,80 hp JOHN DEERE / Senator 292^94 State government involved in the public transportation area may be justified for many reasons. But is is complicated and has unforeseen ramifications. For instance, it seems reasonable, for energy reasons, to keep train passenger tran­ sportation available even with some public subsidy. -But how much subsidy can be justified? Recently it has been said that the subsidy necessary to keep the Chicago-Miami train service going would be sufficient to buy all the train passengers an air line ticket! Obviously ridiculous! But these subsidies are having unfavorable side effects on cross­ country travel bus service. After all, bus service is available to many more cities than train service. But public subsidized train service on main routes such as the Port Huron-Chicago run is tough competition for private bus companies that operate on fares along the same routes. So perhaps a little help-fop bus companies is indicated? Seems reasonable. The method used to minimize government interference in private business is a bus purchase subsidy.

Another law requires any buses purhcased using public funds to be equipped for han­ dicapped access. In other words, a lift for a wheelchair. This requirement made some sense in community transit buses. Handicappers need to be able to get around and a public subsidized transit system should be available to all. City buses are built low to the ground and a lift system has been designed for wheelchairs by General Motors. Expensive perhaps, but, in terms of what it costs each of us to assure that these people can also be mobile in our society, probably not unreasonable. However, cross-country travel buses are built differently, with the passengers seated high above ground and luggage stored below. No one has designed a lift system yet and most people think it would be prohibitive, economically. So these bus systems have available some help so public subsidized trains don’t run them out of business. But they can’t get the help because the technology is not available to give han­ dicappers equal access. A little complicated, huh?

(Reminder Photo) Views from the Line Fence 1977 - Just one of those years New income produced by Eaton County farmers in 197*6 totaled just over 29,000,000 dollars. What it will be in 1977 is still to be determined, but it will be down substantially. Not that the crops produced by our farmers was poor. Indeed, to grain crops, i.e. com, soybeans, white beans and wheat, the yields were up significantly. Estimates on county yeilds were; wheat - 54 bushels (average 37); soybeans 34 bushels (average 28); and com - 92 bushesl (average 73). With those yeilds it is obvious that 1977 was a great year to produce any kind of seed crop. The thought comes to mind of why are farmers striking with crop yields like these! Price is the only answer. Everyone knows that costs keep going up. But can the consumer realize that the total cost of producing an acre of corn is over $200.00? The cost for soybeans is over $150.00? Eve with a yield of 100 bushels per acre, when the net return per bushel to the farmer is around $1.75, the farmer is losing money when he grows an excellent crop. This is what is so frustrating to farmers. It is a paradox. The really seriousness of the whole situation is that the con­ suming public should be aware that whenever a country’s agriculture is in an economic depression, the remainder of the nations industry cannot long endure. Perhaps the powers that bind the country will realize this is an important segment of our economy and be willing to listen to those who offer intelligent alternatives for solutions, not just "let Washington solv it.” Let us hope for positive changes in 1978.

Get big litters of husky pigs... Feed Purina Sow Chow A sow is a pig factory. She has the big job producing and nursing two litters of pigs every year. Like any other factory, she has to have raw ingredients to produce the products (pigs) and maintain the factory (her own body). If she doesn't get proper nutrition, she may actually resorb some pigs into her system, causing you to lose pigs you will never even seen or she may farrow weak, unthrifty litters. Purina Sow Chow has what it takes to help the sow keep her own body, farrow big litters and have plenty of milk to start them right.

He NOT only shoots much better shots than in the past, but he has turned into a fine rebounder. The best part of Beebe’s game is his unselfishness to give up the ball as he hit Don Fox with many key passes Friday night.” The Junior Varsity record is 3-5 with two games this week.

Wednesday January 11. 1978 - Page 4 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley Nashville has been virtually “closed down" this past week with so many folks suffering with flu and colds. Village Hall was closed Tuesday when both Clerk Suzy Corkwell and Deputy Clerk Lois Elliston became ill. Mem­ bers of the Village DPW crew have also been stricken with the “bug”, but despite this got our streets plowed during the New Year’s snowfall. The Nashville Fire Dept, ambulance has made several runs to Hastings recently carrying flu victims from Nash­ ville to Pennock Hospital for treatment. Many other folks have also been taken by family members to the emergency room for help. One of the more seriously ill taken by ambulance on Dec. 31st was Faye Salyers, who operates the Steakhouse Restaurant. At last report Faye had developed pneumonia and was receiving oxygen. All her friends here certainly wish Faye a very speedy recovery. Mrs. Donald Hess of Nashville was recently visited by her greatgrandaughter and husband, Mr. and Mrs. Michael Thomas, of Battle Creek.

Clark Road has enjoyed venison the past two seasons, but not as a result of Mr. Boucher’s annual hunting trips to the U.P. Last year son “Mick” (Davis) hit a deer on M-66 near home, wrecking his auto. Now, just a year later, Mrs. Boucher struck a deer on M-79 near Barryville damaging another family car. The only consolation for Mr. Boucher has been the delicious venison, considered much more tender than northern Michigan deer. The Nashville Fire Dept, responded to a house fire on Morgan Road, Dec. 30th, at the Keith Prong residence. Damage to the house was extensive. This is another in the rash of? severe house fires that has hit the Nash­ ville are this winter.

My report this week contains a brief explanation of the major issues which appear to have a good chance of Coming up for legislative consideration in 1978. Improving our State’s Job Climate ..... My colleagues and I will be working to achieve action on two very important issues which were unresolved in 1977: revision of our outdated and inequitable workers’ compensation law and elimination of unemployment compensation for those who voluntarily quit their jobs. In addition, we will be pushing for several further corrections in the Single Business Tax which were not included in the com­ promise measure approved last year. They include an assurance that those businesses which make no profits pay no business taxes, and an increase in the gross receipts ceiling to $5 million so that tax relief may be granted to a greater number of smaller businesses and, industries in Michigan. Enactment of these priority items will greatly enhance our state’s job climate and enable more people who want and need jobs to obtain them. Alleviating the Property Tax Burden . . . Also expected to come up for legislative consideration -this year is the issue of school finance.

True False (1.) Producers of goods outnumber producers of services in our economy. (2.) The value of all CI.S. goods and services produced in one year is called Gross National Product (GNP). (3.) Inflation reduces the standard of living of people on relatively fixed incomes. If you found these questions tough, your Economics Quotient, your E.Q., could probably stand some improvement.

There are children on the colony, but most of them do not have the disease, they are only . there because they are still nursing, or there is no one in the villages to accept them into the village society. Bob said there was a young boy of about 15 in the infirmary, but there are very few new people that come. Since 1941 and the advancement of sulpha drugs, there are few cases. With the drug should come the education to continue taking the drug even after they seem to be better. Sulpha only arrests the disease, it does not cure it. When they stop taking the drug, then leprosy becomes worse and more expensive drugs are needed. Many times people wait until it is too late for the drugs to be of any help, then they are referred from the clinic to the colony. Many times they are not accepted into their village society after they contact the disease, no matter how slightly they might have it. There is more than one type of leprosy, the very crippling kind, one that makes people lose fingers, hands, toes, feet, eyes, etc. This kind is not infectious. It also is the type that makes the skin lose it’s pigment. The other kind is a type of nodule and this is very infectious. It is a bacilli that is spread upon contact, usually when you have a scratch on the skin: Many bacilli are found in the nostrils but very seldom does the first disease patch come in the nose or throat. It is usually found on the hands, arms, or legs, where there are apt to be scratches. Much of leprosy is still theory, but some facts are known. The whole colony is spread over two to three acres. One end I is-the men’s buildings and the other the women’s. It seems not to matter how far apart they are for 2 babies were born in the colony last year. The buildings are painted a dark green, very dull, with tin roofs. Each person has a room about 10’xlO’. They do their own cooking and housekeeping, etc. They are looked after by 6 Basotho nurses, there is a general store on the grounds, plus the hospital and the infirmary. There is a ground­ skeeper, but due to lack of good management, the director had political pull ( he was a Molapo, part of the king’s family) but he was an alcoholic, so for the past two years, money has gone to many things besides the care of the grounds and the patients. Back to the programme. Bob played the harmonica and a friend in the P.C. played guitar while the rest of us sang the traditional Christmas Carols. We sang the Lesotho National An­ them in Sesotho and that seemed to please them. They did recognize the tunes of the carols, but of course they were sung in English. Sister Corrie had arranged for some area children to come in and present a pagaent while the Christmas story was being read by a woman, in Sesotho.. They ey rea really y seeme seemed too enjoy the t programme but of course when the cookies were passed about they enjoyed that the most. There was an old ntate the kept hollering throughout the children’s portion of the programme. Seems he was telling the group that Jesus was Jew and that all the people there were not Christian. Corrie said he just wanted attention, but he kept saying that the Basotho had a religion long before the Christians came to the land, and he is right you know. Their religion just didn’t happen too bee like the missionaries. The Te Basotho do not believe in a Hell. They believe that you must be ready to go with their gods, and when the man is buried, he is sitting, in a bent-over position with his spear and a few seeds so he will be ready to hunt and plant when he is with the gods. The women are buried with a few beads and ornaments or household dishes in much the same position. The children in the pageant had created their own costumes. The kings were dressed like shieks (much like the shepards are dressed for the Christmas story in our culture) and the shepards were dressed in burlap bags and stocking caps. Why? Because that is the way Basotho herdboys dress! When we had finished our programme, and the children were done, there were 2 men who performed a reciprocal dance for us. It was the dance of the killing of the lions. Much in the historical dances and cultural dances shows that at one time there were many wild animals in Lesotho, but they are all gone now. The cave paintings also, have pictures of antelope and monkeys, but they have also gone. It’s difficult to explain about Lesotho if one has not read any history of the country, and from experience, we know it is hard to. find that. Sandy and Chuck did not go with us to the colony, mainly because there are many people with the infectious type of leprosy and we did not want to take the chance. Life in Maseru is like any other bustling city, so in a month or so, we plan on taking to the hills, and finding for a while, a house at h mission, until we can have a rondaval built for us. There are few empty ones around, the refugees from other countries that practice apartheid have moved into any kind of housing available. The government is beginning to check the credentials of people to make sure they have a right to liveg in Lesotho,, but in the mountains it is hard to do. It is summer now and the weather is getting hot and rainy. We enjoy the heat and the sunsets here are the best ever. The kids are happy, they have many friends and they are on holidays right now so they’re doubly happy. If I tried to explain all we have learned and experienced up to this time, you would be very South Vermontville news notes ..

Cold damages 1977 Blueberry crop­ Blueberry production in the Great Lake State is estimated at 11,800,000 pounds in 1977, according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. The production is one-third of the 1976 crop which was estimated at 35,930,000 pounds. Acres har­ vested this summer dropped to 8,000 from 8,500 in 1976. Some acreage was not harvested due to poor yields. Approximately 60 percent of the 1977 crop went through processing channels, while the remaining percentage was marketed through fresh market outlets, including pickyour-own and used on farms. The blueberry crop suffered substantial losses in 1977. In the west central area, production fell 70 percent below last year while the southwest area dropped 65 percent. Dry weather in the fall of 1976 weakened blueberry rootstock to the extent that the hard winter of 1977 caused severe damage. A late April frost, when the crop was in bloom, did additional damage and continued to play havoc with the crop. Favorable weather in June and July suitable for growth, uy was suae or growh, however, by this time, prospects for a good crop had diminished. bored, but just this to tell you we are fine, and learning many new things each day and enjoying mostly the beautiful people of Lesotho.

Julie is the sweet young thing with ponytails and pretty clothes Shop early for seed Com, spring barley, and oat seed supplies are normal and of good quality for the 1978 planting season; but navy beans and soybeans are not. Area producers are advised to shop early for their seed supplies — especially for navy beans and soybeans — "because some serious problems exist for these two crops. “The dismal harvesting season damaged much of these two crops, so growers should give the seed they purchase this year some special consideration,” says Dr. L.O.

Of the acreage accepted fop certified seed, only 63 percent was saved for seed because of quality problems. This means that about 40 percent of this amount was diverted to tablestock channels. However, of the 63 percent saved for seed, as much as 50 percent may not be of high quality because of poor physical condition and corresponding germination problems. This is largely due to the adverse har­ vesting conditions. Blight in­ fection, a continuing factor, is an added problem with this year’s seed supply. Producers should therefore try to buy certified seed as early as possible. If a source cannot be located, growers may have to buy year from certified seed or obtain tablestock. But they should be sure to have the seed tested for blight and germination before buying to determine what potential growth problems may exist. Soybeans The supply and quality of soybean seed is just as bleak as it is for navy beans. During the wet weather conditions, much of the crop was infected byv pod and who always comes to school excited and ready to answer every question. Clyde usually arrives late because his mother forgets to get him up, and his clothes aren’t clean,- and he hasn't had a bath. Both can be equally distracting to teachers because Julie literally knows more than her teachers about most things, while Clyde — well Clyde just causes teachers to shake their heads in dismay. Julie is gifted. Clyde — well he stem blight. Under normal conditions, this fungus is not much of a problem but last fall’s wet conditions were ideal for the infection which traveled through the plant to the seed coat. This fungus will continue to exist and develop on the seed as long as moisture conditions are high. Tests show that the seed moisture content should be 14 percent or lower, to stop additional fungus growth. Growers are urged to plant only treated seed this spring. If not treated, the fungus will continue to exist on the seed and quickly infect the seedling when it germinates. If at all possible,• producers should obtain certified seed, all seed should be commercially treated with either Captan, Thiram, or Chloranil, according to label directions.

This can be pretty threatening to teachers, unless they have some kind of preparation, some training to handle these kinds of children. Roger Taylor, keynote speaker for the mini-conference, is a national authority on gifted education. He currently serves as Director of the South Suburban Chicago Area Service Center for Educators of Gifted Children, and is also Professor of Urban Teacher Education at Governors State University, Park Forest South, Illinois. Taylor will devote his first presentation to identifying and guiding gifted, talented and creative children. Then, following dinner, he will offer specific strategies teachers and parents can use to stimulate those bright kids, while not neglecting the Clydes and other children who don’t learn as quickly. Taylor is an actor, and a comedian. He brings to his workshops the vitality and en­ thusiasm of a child and the in­ tellect of an established and knowledgeable educator. He has taught gifted children, taught teachers of gifted children, and now teaches curriculum developers, program planners, and university personnel what can and should be done with gifted children.

Workers looking for holiday jobs helped push unemployment up in Michigan and the Detroit metropolitan area during December as the state’s jobless rate rose to 6.1 percent and the metro area’s rose to 5.9 percent, according to estimates released today by S. Martin Taylor, director of the Michigan Em­ ployment Security Commission. Taylor said that unemployment in Michigan, climbed to 251,300 during December, a rise of 22,200 from November when the jobless total was 229,100 or 5.6 percent. Despite the increase, the job picture is better than it was a year ago when 339,600 xyere out of work or 8.4 percent of the labor force. In the Detroit metropolitan area (Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Livingston, Lapeer and St. Clair Counties), the jobless total was 114,700 last month compared to 102,900 or 5.3 percent in November. As in the state, the current job picture for the metro area is better than last year’s when 154,800 or 8.0 percent were unemployed. Taylor said that the increase in unemployment was due to seasonal cutbacks in construction and agriculture, in addition to job seekers entering the labor market looking for holiday jobs. Total employment in the state fell by only 4,100 to 3,877,600. In the Detroit area, employment dropped by 400 to 1,827,200. Otterbacher announces candidacy for U.S. Senate Senator John R.

The Conference, an organization which represents various agricultural interests in the state, presents the awards to lawmakers who have compiled distinguished legislative records on state agricultural issues. Among Senator Allen’s major accomplishments last year in the area of agriculture were the development of legislation to deal with the PBB problem and to protect animals from com­ municable diseases, and an exemption for farmers from paying the Single Business Tax. He has also fought successfully in the past against imposing the sales tax on farm equipment and has worked to provide property tax relief for landowners. In accepting the award, Senator Allen pointed out the importance of agriculture in his life. “Agriculture has always been a part of me and always will be,” he said. “No award could please me more than this one since it relates to an area which has been of interest to me since childhood.” Senator Allen served on the House Agriculture Committee when he was a member of the House and is currently a member of the Senate Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee. Kirby Wilmore was recently named the recipient of the Daughters of the American Revolution Good Citizen Award at Maple Valley High School. Wilmore is the first boy ever to win the honor at Maple Valley, as males were only recently eligible for the award. The award is given to the senior who best represents dependability, service, leadership, and patriotism. Kirby was the treasurer of the National Honor Society his junior year, and is now the National Honor Society historian. He was his class secretary in 10th grade. He is also a mem­ ber of the Maple Valley Varsity Club, and has been a mem­ ber of the football, basketball, and baseball teams. To date he has a 3.7 grade point average. Outside school, Kirby has been a member of 4-H for eight years. He also has helped with many money-making projects with the Gresham Methodist Church on Mulliken Road.

State Senator Richard Allen (R-Allen) announced today that he will introduce a concurrent resolution Wednesday, January 11, urging the Michigan Legislature to reaffirm its strong commitment to the preservation of agricultural lands. “The Legislature went on record in 1974 in favor of preserving these valuable lands by passing Public Act 116 of 1974, the Farmland and Open Space Preservation Act,” Senator Allen pointed out. The resolution was prompted by the current controversy over the placement of 1-69 between Charlotte and Lansing. A citizen action committee know as Citizens Concerned About 1-69 (CCAI), which boasts a mem­ bership of 400 Eaton County residents, and the State Department of Highways and Transportation, have squared off over the issue of the placement of the highway. The CCAI has pledged to take the Department to court if it fails to recognize the importance of the prime and essential farmland and refuses to relocate the proposed route. “I think the placement of 1-69 is an issue which cannot be con­ sidered local-nor can it be taken lightly,” Senator Allen em­ phasized. “It is easy to dismiss the displacement of a few farmers in support of what you believe to be the public good.. But, what is the public good? We are talking about displacing 16,000 acres of prime and essential farmland which has a tremendous effect on other agriculture-related businesses. The estimate of this loss to the economic base of Eaton County runs about $10 million,” he noted. “The public good in this instance clearly supports relocating 1-69.” The Legislature has already demonstrated its interest in the highway construction project Senator William Fitzgerald, Chairman of the Senate Highways and Transportation Committee, has begun oversight hearings, requiring the Depart­ ment to come forward and ex­ plain the process by which it arrived at its decision to relocate 1-69 in the prime farmland and to prove to the Committee and opponents of the Department’s proposed route that it is essen­ tially the best route. “When the Legislature enacted P.A. 116, it set out state policy that farmland is vitally im­ portant to our future and should be preserved. The actions of the Department of Highways and Transportation tend to show that the Legislature is light years ahead of agencies in their thinking regarding the use of natural resources,” Senator Allen said. “I am hopeful that this resolution will pass both houses and will further illustrate pur concern to the .Highway Department that there are many issues to be considered' when taking a state action-not just the building of roads,” he com­ mented. “And, I hope the Department will in the future be more attentive to our wishes.” CARD OF THANKS THURSDAY, JAN. 19th 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M.

Stay with the established trails to avoid being stranded in deep snow-and to protect the young trees and other habitat. Don’t go it alone. Do carry a compass, ample fuel and emergency snowshoes.

Among issues discussed at the Nashvill Village Council meeting last Thursday night was the possibility of the expansion of Village Hall, or of finding alternate quarters. Although no definite action was taken, the council agreed that the present hall has generally inadequate meeting space. Among other issues acted upon was a change in the regulations governing paid holidays for the police officers. The council voted to make police department holidays equal with those received by the DPW employees, granting extra pay to the officer who must work on the holiday. Previously the officers had been compensated for working holidays be receiving additional vacation time. The council also accepted with regrets the resignation of Mrs. John (Ruth) Hughes as Chair­ person of the Planning Com­ mission.

Obituaries Joseph Zakshesky Area sports news Maple Valley loses two— The Lion Varsity basketball team lost two league games last week to Saranac and Portland. Saranac hosted the Lions Tuesday and held their guests to 5 points in the opening quarter while they scored 17. The Redskins continued their blitz in the second quarter and held a 29-15 half-time advantage over Maple Valley. Seniors Pete Benton and Doug Halsey combined for 15 of the 17 points scored in the third quarter as the Lions outscored thenopponents in the third quarter and cut the lead to 43-32 in favor of Saranac. The Lions continued to pressure their opponents in the final quarter. The MV full-court press caused the Redskins to turn the ball over and the Lions came within 6 points of the Redskins with 3 minutes remaining to be played. A costly four sent Saranac to the free-throw line and Redskin Steve Metternick sank two free throws to put them ahead to stay. The Lions made a strong effort at a come-back on the second half outscoring their opponents in both the third and fourth quar­ ters. Pete Benton led the charge in the second half organizing his Lion team and scoring 15 of his total 20 points in the final half. Doug Halsey added 13 points. Also seeing action for the Lions were Jeff Zemke, Andy Joostbems, Ken Hansbarger, Mike Hamilton, Tom Gurd, Revin Kilpatrick, Hal Ferguson, David Munn and Jeff Slocum. Lion center Andy Joostberns led all scorers Friday night with 22 points but it wasn’t enough to overcome the hot shooting Raiders from Portland. Although the host Lions jumped off to a 18-13 first quarter ad­ vantage they were unable to maintain their momentum and fell behind 30-33 by the half. The Lions were able to tie the score at 33 all early in the third quarter but turnovers proved costly to M.V. The host team lost the ball 17 times in the second half eliminating any Maple Valley threat. Portland placed 4 players in double figures with Scott Baker and Brad Seal each scoring 17 points. The Lions were led by Joostberns with 22 and Doug Halsey with 16. Pete Benton and Ken Hansbarger each added 8 points a piece. “We are making too many mistakes at critical times in the game,” comments coach Reese. “Turnovers are really killing us! But the boys are eager and have not been out of any game we’ve played. We are so close to win­ ning - if we can maintain our poise and play tougher on defense so that we don’t give so many easy baskets, things will get better. The Lions play at Mid­ dleville on Tuesday and at Vestaburg on Friday. VERMONTVILLE - Mr. Joseph Zakshesky, 40, of Rural Route 1, Vermontville, died Saturday,. Janaury 14, 1978 in Lansing.

UNREGISTERED PERSONS NOT ENTITLED TO VOTE Transfer of regbtiiatioh, application, time TRANSFER OF REGISTRATION ON ELECTION DAY lllage Cleric A weekly report from: Senator 292^94 How about a local income tax for education? While this is not an altogether new concept, it received a tremendous boost this week when the Governor proposed a limited optional income tax to replace some of the local property tax for education. The proposal is limited in that it would apply only to residential property, not agricultural, industrial or commercial. Only 22 mills of property tax could be replaced and this would require an increase of two percent in residents’ income taxes. The change could be implemented only by a vote of the people in the school district. The income tax would be collected by the state with the state income tax. Funds collected would then be rebated to the school district, based on the amount that would have been provided by the property tax, rather than on the amount collected by the state through the income tax. If the change were implemented statewide, the state would be expected to break even. Since it is at local option, however, it seems likely the state would have to provide some funds over those collected. Certainly the districts most likely to choose the option would be those where BATTLE OF THE BULGE Maple Valley Community Education is offering a new course this semester for those of you concerned with weight loss and body condition.

It’s easy to figure personally about how you would come out. Since 22 mills is 2.2 percent, the rate of taxation is similar for property and income. The only question is which do you have the most of - property or income? If you have $10,000 in income above deductions, the additional two percent would cost you$200. IfyourSEV (valuation) on your house is $10,000, the 22 mills would amount to $220. Of course, property tax erdits, if you are eligible for them, may modify this. The program is not nearly so complicated as some attempt to make it. I think it is administratively feasible without undue cost. On the other hand, it is not as comprehensive as I would like. It does nothing for agricultural or commercial property taxes. It does nothing about differences in funding available to different schools. I still favor a more major overhaul of school financing with a shift away from local property tax. But, the Governor has provided an option and perhaps it’s all the people are ready for at this point.

Rohrer says the company has the capability to detect PBB at the level of *4 part per billion. The DNR plans a total of 100 tests on venison selected from throughout the state. Individuals selected to participate in the testing program will receive results within 30 to 60 days and all results will be made public when available. The monitoring program for PBB in venison is part of a larger DNR program aimed at monitoring possible residues of pesticides and industrial chemicals in the state’s wildlife and inland fish. That monitoring program will be sampling five areas in the state during the next year for analysis of possible PBB residue in deer, rabbits, pheasants, and raccoons. Sites to be sampled include two areas along the Pine River, one site in the Upper Peninsula, a farm with known PBB contamination, and a state game area _ Maple Valley school lunch Monday, January 23,1978 Mashed potatoes, fish portion, peas, pears, bread and butter, sandwich and milk.

Wednesday January 18. 1978 -- Page 9 Nash resolution urges better price supports for farmers— A resolution urging federal development of adequate price supports for farmers was introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives Thursday by Representative Ernest Nash (RDimondale). The resolution calls upon Congress, the President and the Secretary of Agriculture to take immediate steps to assure far­ mers a reasonable return based on their production costs, and was introduced on a day when hundreds of farmers throughout the state came to Lansing to make their interests known to Governor Milliken and the Legislature. “Despite federal' price supports,” Nash said, “the farm debt in this country has doubled in the past four years, and the rapidly escalating price of production has placed a severe financial strain on many farmeis. “Michigan has a tremendously large farming industry, and all that farmers in this state and across the country are asking for is parity. But the current price supports, based on parity, have been inadequate to even cover the cost of production, let along give farmers any return on their labor or investment,’’ he con­ tinued. “I strongly believe that the government must take some action to provide farmers with a statutory minimum commodity price level which would not allow the sale or purchase of farm products at less than parity. This way, at least farmers would be MEMBER NHWAper * Association - Founded 1885 assured of a reasonable rate of return based on their cost of production. “I think the Congress and the administration simply must develop a more aggressive and realistive export policy to boost farmers’ income,” Nash said. “These are the men and women who feed an entire nation, and their very serious and immediate concerns are of significance to all of us,” Nash said. The resolution was approved by the House and will be forwarded to Congress, the President and the Secretary of Agriculture.

This time Tony Joostherns lead the team with 11 rebounds. “We are very pleased with the progress we are making.” says Coach Ruohonen, “but, a couple of our players have difficulty playing hard when the pressure is on in these close games. When we all can hold our poise during tight ball games we probably will win a lot of them. Tony Joostherns is developing into a very fine ball player. As the season goes along Tony is shooting, rebounding, and handling the ball better each game. Our most consistent ball player at this time is Jeff Mead. Jeff is the floor leader and is improving each game.

General concern was expressed regarding the number of referrals and general delay in completion of the testing program. A meeting will be held between personnel from the intermediate school district and local school district in an attempt to develop a program enabling a smoother testing program and evaluation program to be im­ plemented. The board members were informed that the school district will be eligible for an additional eleven student positions through the Youth Employment Training Program which is being administered by the Eaton Intermediate School District. These students will be working ten hours per week and will receive the minimum wage as set by state guidelines. Job placement may be outside the school buildings with the village or townships. At the present time it is planned that these positions will begin approximately February 1st To be eligible for this program the family income must be within the federal guidelines. Students may obtain further information at the high school office. A similar type program will also be in operation in Barry County, but at this time the number of positions available isn’t known. A discussion was held relative to general cutting of bus seats which has increased this school year. Thus far this school year the costs involved include $135.00 for outside repair of bus seat covers plus $163.78 for the pur­ chase of new bus seat covers. Personnel working at the bus garage also have to spend many hours repairing and replacing covers. these General cooperation of parents and students will help eliminate this general destruction. It was decided to hold some general work sessions relative to the present curriculum involving a review of the basics, consideration of general skills that should be mastered at various grade levels, and the retention policy at the elementary and junior high levels. This will be a long range study involving board members, administrators, teachers,' students, and community representatives. A special meeting is scheduled for Monday, January 23, at which time discussion will begin regarding these areas. General fund bills in the amount of $22,994.77 were approved for payment. The December 16th payroll in the amount of $70,708.81 and the December 30th payroll in the amount of $69,821.53 were approved for payment and transfer to the payroll account.

They weren’t interested. But he played ball anyway, eventually earning the name “Twinkle Toes Bosco” from his oals because he was fat and easygoing like the chocolate TV bear and because he ran like greased lightning. And then some three years after Ron went in, he got his parole and a contract with the Tigers. It turned out that Ron’s mentor, the extortionist, was the friend of a friend of Billy Martin, then the Tigers’ manager. Martin came to the prison shortly before Ron’s release, saw him play and was amazed. As Ed Katalinas, the scout who signs up young Tiger players, puts it, “Ron was a lightning bolt ... he was the biggest chunk of raw talent I had ever seen. He was the kind of boy you build a championship around.” The other Tigers liked Ron, too. Mickey Stanley, Norm Cash, Al Kaline thought him sensational. Continued on page3— Bob Lacinski, Community Relations Manager; Jackson, offers you this telephone tip: Teach your children how to use the phone in an emergencyl Anyone can have an emergency at home that calls for fast, intelligent use of the phone ... a sudden illness, accident, fire. Hopefully, you already have a list in your phone book or elsewhere near the phone, giving the numbers of your doctor, hospital, poison control, police, fire department and your home address.But, if you have children at home, would they know how to use the phone in an emergency? Make sure they do. Show them where you keep the emergency numbers and how to call the operator, if necessary. Your babysitter should be told who to call, too. Know if 911 can be dialed for fire, medical and police help in your area. Nobody likes to think about emergencies at home. But, it’s better to give it a little thought now, than be sorry you didn't later. Why not check out the family on your emergency phone call procedure right now?

Near the end of the 1974 season his general manager got him out of bed one night. “You’re going to Detroit,” he said. "What for?” Ron mumbled. “To play center field.” Ron LeFlore began the 1976 season with the longest hitting streak the American League had seen in 27 yeafs-30 games. He established himself as the best base stealer to wear a Tiger uniform since the immortal Ty Cobb, with 58 the year. And in only his second full season in the major leagues he was picked to play in the big game-the All­ Star. All his life, Ron LeFlore has wanted people to look up to himas the best thief, the best prisoner, the best player.

Nashville Wednesday January 25. 1978 -- Page 4 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley At this writing it appears that Nashville will have been well represented at the annual Winter Ball in the Charlotte Armory, Saturday evening, January 21st. Sponsored by St. Mary’s Catholic Church of Charlotte, the dance, which also features ethnic foods, is a fund-raising event for the church school. Annual at­ tendance is usually about 500 people and 80 tickets were sold locally by Mrs. Jerry (Anne) Kent. Eleven senior citizens from Nashville traveled to the State Capitol on January 17th to ask our legislators not to curtail transportation under the CouncilOn-Aging program. One of those making the trip to Lansing from Nashville was Richard Green, owner of R. & F. Industries. Mr. Green estimates that there were at least 300 senior citizens present from throughout southern Michigan. The group expressed concern to their various representatives about a mass transit bill that could potentially cut back the local program which now provides transportation for Nashville’s senior citizens to the noon meals at the Masonic Temple. Also provided for locally, under the present system, is transportation for our senior citizens to medical appointments and such, when needed. Mr. and Mrs. Denny Lamie and daughters of Nashville have just returned from a four-week vacation trip to Florida, where they visited Mrs. Lamie’s parents and other relatives. On the way down they stopped to see Denny’s brother, Roger, who is stationed with the U.S. Air Force near Alexandria, Virginia. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Carroll Lamie of Nashville, Roger is a former local boy and graduate of Nashville High School. The Burton Ebersoles of Cloverdale Road have returned to Michigan temporarily from their winter home in Florida to attend to business. They hope to be able to return soon to their home near Jacksonville. While here they have visited their daughters, Mrs. Tim (Bessie) Smith and Mrs. Kendal (Betty) Wilcox, and families.

Local districts must fulfill very specific requirements in the act before such information can be made available to students and in most districts those preconditions have not yet been met. “In order to avoid citizen complaints and challenges we are advising school boards to implement the six requirements of the law before permitting teachers to respond to students’ inquiries about birth control” Weinheimer said.

Wednesday January 25. 1978 - Page 5 January, brings more daylight, colder weatherANN ARBOR—January days will lengthen, but don’t expect warmer weather yet. So warns University of Michigan astronomer Hazel M. Losh, who -points out that “although it is hard to believe, we fire nearer the sun now than at any other time of the year. The earth is as much as one and onehalf million miles closer than its average of 93 million. "As the month progresses, there will be a gradual increase in the length of the day, until by the end of January there will be nearly an hour more daylight,” Losh reports. “However, along with this increasing sunlight, we are likely to have colder weather—the lengthening of the day will have little effect on the temperatures.” It is not until early February, she says, that the rate of heating by day overtakes the rate of cooling by night. Furthermore, although the number of daylight hours and the intensity of the sun are at a minimum at the winter solstice (December 21), this is not necessarily the coldest time of the year. “The peak of the season usually comes from four to six weeks later, referred to as the ‘lag of the seasons’,” she explains. “The lengthening of the day will be more noticeable by the later sunset in the evening than by the earlier sunrise in the morning. “Due to the earth’s faster motion in its orbit at this time of year, our clocks are definitely ahead of the sun. This means that the sun crosses the meridian—the mid-point of its daily path—not at noon but 40 or 50 minutes later;” Losh notes. “This makes the afternoons longer’ than the mornings.” Additional winter con­ stellations will be coming into view on January nights. Among them are Gemini, the Heavenly Twins, made up of two parallel lines of stars. “The lines extend from Orion to the bright stars Castor and Pollux, the Twins of legendary fame,” says Losh. “Also known as the ‘Giant’s Eyes’7 Pollux on the left is brighter at present, but it is believed that years ago Castor may have outshown his brother.” Following Gemini in the Zodiac is Cancer, the Crab. “The faint stars of this group form an in­ verted or upsidedown letter Y, with the Beehive cluster near the juncture point,” Losh continues. “This dim, misty-looking ob- Program to teach tax preparation On-site enrollment will be permitted at the upcoming in­ come tax institute to be held in Lansing. The two-day program is one of a series of 11 institutes sponsored by the University of Michigan. Persons interested in enrolling at the door should be present at 8 a.m. The tax institute will be taught by representatives from the Internal Revenue Service and the Michigan Department of Revenue. The course is suitable for persons interested in preparing only their own tax returns, and for tax practitioners.

Here are a few preventive measures the Coast Guard recommends: To prevent ice from forming around the hull, install bubblers — devices that keep the water moving — in the area where the boat is moored. To prevent damage to the hull from drifting ice or debris, suspend old tires or pieces of wood over the sides of the vessel to serve as buffers at the level of the waterline. To guard against the danger of water entering through the exhaust pipe and sinking the boat, install a plug in any exhaust pipe located near the waterline. The problem is that the added weight of accumulated snow and water could cause a boat to settle enough to bring the exhuast pipe under water. To keep mooring lines from parting, double all mooring lines. The extra weight of snow and water could cause single lines to part. Boats should be inspected often. Watch out for holes in the hull, excess water in the bilges, loose caulking, broken seams, and ruptured through-hull fit­ tings.

Galileo found it to be neither a single star nor a nebula but a cluster of stars. “In the early days, it was regarded as a barometer or weather guide,” she adds. “If - this hazy patch was not visible, it foretold the coming of a violent storm.” Following Cancer is Leo, the fierce lion prowling the sky below the hind feet of the Great Bear (Ursa Major). “Leo’s brightest star is Regulus, the King Star, so named because from earliest times it was thought to rule the affairs of heaven. On a very ancient record one reads, ‘If the star of the great lion is gloomy, the heart of the people will rejoice’.” In January Venus will emerge as an evening planet in the West. “Having been the bright ‘morning star’ for 292 days, it will soon be the bright ‘evening star’ in the West for a similar period of time,” Losh says. Jupiter will arise around sunset, and about two hours later Mars 5vill.be rising below Castor and Pollux. “On the 18th, it will be nearest the earth in its twoyear revolution period, but still * more -than 60 million miles away,” adds adds the U-M astronomer. Saturn will remain close to Regulus throughout the month.

Since the issue is not before the Senate where I must vote either yes or no, I take the perogative of saying the issue is too complex for a simple yes or no answer. I believe the American Agricultural Movement is doing some good. It is generating a lot of public attention and media coverage. Much of this is favorable in that the public is becoming aware of the economic plight of the farmer and more importantly, that food, a least in a historic context, is currently very reasonably priced, actually underpriced. The tractors and other high priced equipment used in the demonstrations get the attention of the media. Farmers, in­ terviewed by the press and, individually bottonholing people at supermarkets, etc. are quite effectivejn telling their story. When the demonstrations are peaceful and do not interfere with other people’s freedom or right to move about, I believe the public reaction is favorable. Agriculture desparately needs this favorable public attitude for two reasons. A few years ago when beef prices briefly approached parity, there was an ugly public reac­ tion. A consumers boycott was organized that was definitely a factor in depressing beef prices to lows from which they have not since recovered. If we are to raise farm prices by any method, a more we must have knowledgeable, sympathetic public attitude. Most methods being discussed for increasing farm prices require government action. Action varies from changes in import-export relations with other countries or higher crop loan prices to an innovative proposal by the American Agricultural Movement to dic­ tate, by law, minimum prices for all commodities. No matter what route is taken, politicians will not be able to take it unless, and until, there is some public knowledge of the need and sympathy for the action. As 1 see it, those farmers who have spent much time and some funds peacefully demonstrating and talking to the media and consumers have begun to accomplish something important for all of us in agriculture; a more aware, sympathetic public attitude. This alone will not cause political action, it serves only to set the stage so it is possible. If farmers are to see some action taken, they will have to do a lot more political work organizing to aid friends, defeat foes and generally make it known to those in power that they are serious and intend to follow through. I don’t like to use the term “strike”. I have taken a stand against strikes from longshoremen refusing to load grain on ships to garbage workers letting rubbish pile up. It’s hard for me to support this strike just because now it’s “us farmers*1. And I don’t think the threat of a strike necessarily wins that vital public support. Even worse, in my opinion, than a strike is an idle threat coming from farmers on a national basis. It requires nearly 100 percent participation and farmers cherish their in­ dependence more than economic security. And what'is clearly in the best interests of all (less production) is not in the best interest of an individual farmer. Many would chgat, even sell on a black market, if lower production were legislated. So, the threat of a strike is counter-productive; a clear case of speaking loudly and carrying a soft stick. More on this next week.- Saturday, January 14th, the Don Steinbrecher family hosted about 35 folks who braved the weather to attend the 5th annual Cub Scout Sledding Party and Winter Picnic. The Cubs and other kids took to the sliding hill and even a few parents gave it a try. The pond was ready for skaters and many youngsters tied on their skate and enjoyed the chance for some winter exercise. The Steinbrecher youngsters provided snowmobile taxi service back to the gathering. The den leaders found a sheltered spot and built a fire, for warming snow-covered kids and for roasting hot dogs and mar­ shmallows. The boys ate in a hurry, then went right back to the hill, seems they were engaged in an experiment to see which type of sled hours of snow and cold there were still some groans when the boys were told it was time to head for home. We thank the Steinbrechers for inviting us and rate their winter play area a big four stars! Michigan drivers drive more safely than rest of nation Last year was the fifth straight that Michiganians drove more miles safely than motorists in the rest of the nation, and the state’s 1977 highway death rate should be 10 percent below the national average when final figures are available, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. “Michigan probably has lowered the number of deaths per 100 million vehicle miles driven to a rate of 3.0, a figure the nation is not expected to achieve until at least 1980,” stated Arthur C. Gibson, Auto Club Safety and Traffic Engineering manager. The Highway Users Federation projected a national highway death rate of 3.3 for 1977, about the same as the preceding year. Michigan’s 1976 rate was 3.16. Michigan has posted a significantly lower death rate than the national average since 1973 when the national rate was 4.24 compared to the state’s 3.78. While the 1977 highway death toll is expected to hit a five-year high of 47,900, the number of deaths in Michigan unofficially dropped to 1,914, a 2 percent decrease compared with 1976 and a 14 percent decrease from 1973. Auto Club cited the 55-milesper-hour speed limit, stepped-up traffic enforcement, the Motorists Information Inc. safety belt campaign and traffic safety programs such as “Bring ’em Back Alive!” for helping to reduce traffic deaths 14 percent in 1977 over Michigan’s record high 2,213 highway deaths in 1973. Gibson noted that Auto Club’s projections were based on unofficial traffic deaths and mileage statistics. Final figures won’t be available for several months.

A December 1, 1977 survey turned up 52,000 hens in the State compared with 55,000 last year. These breeder hens will lay eggs for the 1978 crop of turkeys. Farmers have valued their birds at $562,000, up 14 percent from last year. Each hen was worth $10.80. UNITED STATES: Turkey breeder hens on December 1,1977 in 27 States totaled 3,045,000, down 1 percent from a year earlier. Of this total, 2,878,000 were heavy breeds, up 4 percent and 167,000 were light breeds, down 44 percent from December 1976. Turkey growers in 20 major States intend to raise 132.2 million turkeys in 1978 compared with 130.3 million in 1977. The number of turkeys actually raised in 1978 may vary from growers intentions shown in this report depending on feed prices, supply and price of hatching eggs and poults, and prices growers receive from turkeys during the next few months.

Lighter weight groups indicate some gains, but not above last year’s levels. Next spring farrowings are expected to be 5 percent short, when compared with this year. Farmers plan to farrow 72,000 sows from December through May 1978, down 4,000 head. Not all is on the down side however. The number of farms with hogs made a slight hesitation _in its long term downward trend and actually showed a gain. There were 9,700 hog farms in Michigan this year, up 200. Value of hogs on inventory rose 15 percent to $42.2 million total. The value of an average hog went up $15 to $66 each.

Varsity Basketball record 4-8The varsity basketball team played a little bit of everything last week. Tuesdays game was a complete loss as the Lions were unable to find their range and were soundly beaten by the Middleville Trojans 75-48. But despite the many shortcomings of that game they reached down deep and put it all together Friday night to defeat league rival Vestaburg’ 73-71. At Middleville the Lions shot poorly and were unable to stop the Trojans from scoring. Maple Valley was blitzed for a 18-7 Trojan lead after one quarter and left for half-time trailing 35-18. The second half was more of the same as Maple Valley did manage a 22 point third quarter but it couldn’t touch the Trojan lead. Final score was 75-48 in favor of the host Middleville. Those who witnessed the clobbering at Middleville were amazed at the Lion team that roared out of the lockerroom at Vestaburg. The ball went in the The boys make a mad scramble for a loose ball.

On Tuesday Middleville had shooting practice as they defeated the young Lions 61 - 45. Don Fox lead the scoring with 13 points, and Chris Beebe added 11. “The young men are learning that the mental preparation for a basketball game is different than buying bread at the store. We were all a little disappointed at our preparation for the game and hope to use the embarrassment as a learning device,” says Coach Ruohonen. Friday nights game was much more pleasant as Maple Valley defeated Vestaburg 57-51. Don Fox lead the scoring again with 19 points. Jeff Mead added 10 points to the winning cause. Fox and Tony Joostherns lead the rebounding with 10 and 8 rebounds respectively. “Our fundamentals were executed much better this game,” Ruohonen says, “and the in position discipline proved to be worthwhile as many key passes were made to capitalize on Vestaburg’s full court press. Vem Sargent played a real key part in the win as our team was, hit with the flu bug.” Two more road games make up this weeks schedule as the Lions travel to Caledonia on Tuesday andCentral Montcalm on Friday.

But few people will recall the storm of ‘78 as well as the Village of Nashville- street clearing crew. The Nashville Village em­ ployees started clearing roads at midnight on Wednesday and continued plowing 24 hours a day until Saturday at 7'p.m. They worked two twelve-hour shifts throughout the blizzard. “When it was blowing hard we concentrated on keeping the downtown area clear,” said Director of Public Works and Safety Tim Smith. “When the wind died down we worked out from there. We also had bulldozer help from Bill Hecker and Duane Hamilton where the drifts were Downtown Vermontville looked like a scene from an Alaskan travelogue during the worst of the blizzard. too high for us to plow.” Nearly one and one-half miles of village streets required the use of a bulldozer for clearing, with the deepest drifts being about 12 feet deep. “Anything much over four feet deep we can’t move with our equipment,” said Smith. The street crew began picking up the huge piles of snow around town on Saturday. Most of the snow is being stacked on the flood plain behind the stores down­ town. “It’ll be another week or week and one half before we can get everything back to normal again,” continued Smith. “If we get another six inches of snow, we’ll be in trouble ‘cause there’s no place to push it (snow). As of Monday morning, all the village streets are open, but fifty percent of the country roads have only one Jane open and the other fifty percent have not been touched according to Smith. “We must still dig out the fire hydrants around town and openup the intersections more, and remove all the snow on Main Street,” said Smith. “I suggest that people drive with extreme caution because the roads remain slippery and drivers can’t see coming traffic well at in­ tersections.” Besides Smith,, the Nashville street crew consists of Leon Frith, Bill Eastman and Arden Schantz. “My crew did one hell of a job, I couldn’t have asked any more of them,” said Smith. “As far as I know we were the first to get completely dug out in the area.” Maple Valley schools board of education holds meeting At their special meeting on January 23rd, the Maple Valley Schools Board of Education approved the resignation of a junior high school social science teacher, Patrick Bengston, ef­ fective at the end of the 1st semester. The Board of Education directed administrators to request state on-site investigation of the local complaint concerning appropriate school psychological services, if per­ sonnel at Eaton Intermediate School District don’t indicate a clear plan on improving the services. A discussion was held con­ cerning the need to develop a plan to include citizens of the community, students, school staff, administrators, and board of education members in studying methods of improving Career Education, a policy for* retention of students who fail to achieve in the majority of their classes at various grade levels, the development of an iden­ tification procedure for talented students, and the possible development of minimum competencies for students to achieve with each class at each grade level. Emergency crews ready through storm; needy people cared for— If residents of Nashville were wondering about what may have happened in case of emergency during the recent snowstorm, they can rest assured that they were being Well cared for. Two county men and two county trucks remained on call throughout the blizzard at the Nashville Fire Barn, along with members of the Nashville Fire and Rescue Departments. These individuals kept M-66 clear both northbound and south- bound. The men were kept busy by delivering groceries, supplies and medicine for those in need. The staff at Carl’s Market also made bread and milk runs to Lansing'so that people in the area could have those items. Nashville C^ief of Police Kendal Wilcox gave rides to people to and from the grocery stores when he spotted them lugging the bags of groceries on foot.

Road crews try to keep the main roads clear in Nashville throughout the storm. �The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Wednesday. February 1. 1978 - Page 2 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley Nashville ground to a standstill last Thursday on the eleventh anniversary of the “great storm of '67”. Blowing, drifting snow and hurricane-force winds dumped approximately 20 inches of snow on Nashville and kept most folks homebound. Very few were able, or required, to report to places of employment as most factories and stores were closed both Thursday and Friday. All area schools were closed, giving the youngsters an unexpected "holiday”. The Nashville DPW crew worked round-the-clock to clear village streets but most autos were immobile and snowmobiles became the most common means of transportation. Many folks walked to the grocery store pulling sleds. Don Joseph, owner of Carl’s Market, was able to make it into town early Thursday morning in a 4-wheel drive vehicle from his Thornapple Lake home to open the store. He remained at the store throughout the night to serve the DPW crew and the Fire Department, and re-open the store on Friday. Our Fire Department delivered supplies to stranded rural families and transported nursing personnel to work at the Medical Facility near Hastings.

The Post Office was closed Thursday but opened Friday when Postmaster Elmer Jarvice walked into town. Mail and newspaper deliveries became impossible. Some local people were stranded out of town, away from home, when M-66 became plugged. Larry Filter was one of these unfortunate ones. He started into Battle Creek to work Thursday morning but found when he got to Assyria he could go no further, nor could he return. Luckily, he has a sister living nearby and was able to stay there until the road was cleared Friday. All county roads were closed Thursday and only a few became passable by Friday. Despite many difficulties, it was a time when the loving kindness of friends and neighbors in our community helping one another brightened the day. Mrs. Hilda Baas is reportedly completely recovered from her recent automobile accident, but her auto isn’t “well” yet. Repairs are still not completed.

While Wilcox was at lunch Monday, he received a call that the boy was nearly an hour overdue in returning home from his morning kindergarten class. Wilcox immediately began a search for the boy. Meanwhile, both Mike Meade, of N. Eaton Road and Mrs. Lamoin (Gladys) Mitchell of Lawrence Road spotted a small boy walking north on M-66 and both reported it. Chief Wilcox proceeded to the location where the child had been sighted and retrieved him. In slightly over an hour, the youngster had walked from Nashville to the intersection of M­ 66 and State Road. He reportedly told Wilcox that “he was on his way to see his aunt” because she had asked him to “come visit her someday”. Several members of our local Fire Department are attending a weekly Fire Training School held at the local fire barn. Approximately two-thirds of the local force is attending the school, with the other one-third having completed the course in previous years. The school consists of 60 hours of total training, with three hour classes every Monday evening. Also attending are firemen from various other departments in our surrounding area. We should take time to appreciate the volunteer time these men are investing in the welfare of our community and their ever-ready availability for fire calls and ambulance runs. The response time of our volunteer Fire Department is extraordinarily speedy and we are all benefiting by their out­ standing contribution to our safety.

The amount of the rebate depends on the amount of taxes and household income. “More than $275 million was refunded under this program around the state last year,” Allen said. “It is important that anyone who is eligible for this rebate file with the Michigan Treasury Department. It could mean a substantial savings for some.” Eligibility requirements stipulate that persons be Michigan residents 65 years of age by December 31, 1977 or the surviving spouse (who has not remarried) of a person who was 65 or older at the time of death; blind residents; eligible veterans or their widows; paraplegic and quadriplegic citizens; or totally disabled residents. “In determining what can~be considered for rebate, a citizen should review their 1977 summer and winter taxes on homestead property or 17 percent of rent paid on property subject to property taxes,” Allen explained. “Credits are also available for mobile home and nursing home residents.” Form M-1040-CR should be obtained where regular tax forms are available, filled out and mailed to the Michigan Depart­ ment of Treasury, P.O. Box 30056, Lansing, MI 48909. “If anyone has a problem completing the form necessary to receive this rebate, they should feel free to contact my office and we will direct them to the proper place for assistance,” Allen concluded.

The Vermontville gets ‘dug out’ Who would ever think that a town, the size of Vermontville, could collect so much snow? The snow was not the whole problem, the wind blew and drifted the snow to as much as 10 ft. in places. It took a week for the Village crew to get things back in order. They worked night and day trying to keep the main roads open during the storm, and the side streets after the storm. But the Village plows couldn’t plow all the snow, it took Charles Viele and his bulldozer to mave the deepest of it. After the roads were plowed in town, the snow was piled too high and wide for parking on main street. They took the snow and trucked it to the cove by the elevator. Ernie Dies, Dick Wright and others worked all night moving this snow and clearing the streets for parking area downtown. Snowmobilers volunteered their time to take food to empty households and pick up stranded motorists. The answer to the blizzard was team work. Thanks to village employees and residents, Vermontville was able to weather the storm of Jan. 26, 1978. Tony Joostberns committee is trying to work with the Carson City Chamber of Commerce for preparations for the parade that may also include the Carson City Homecoming queen. Sue Hinckley is in the process of arranging a Talent Show for the festival. Also to be featured are bike and canoe races, car­ nival rides, a penny Carnival and more. Besides the harvest con­ test, there will also be a window painting contest and poster contest?, The committee is now planning several other money-making projects. Family planning clinic The Barry-Eaton District Health Department announces a Family Planning Clinic February 9,1978 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at 110 N. Cochran, Charlotte.

QUESTIONAIRE To the Area Citizens INSERTED IN THIS ISSUE Tell your Valentine in^pur own special wby . . . People have feelings for others that are sometimes very hard to say. But there is a time that makes it so much easier... that’s Valentine’s Day. Take a break from the everyday routine and “say it” in your own special way. The Nashville Businessowners Association is distributing a questionaire to the people in the Maple Valley area in this issue of the Maple Valley News. The questionaire concerns the vacant lot on Main Street where Bob's Hardware and two other buildings were once located and what types of businesses the people would like to see in downtown Nashville. The association would also like to know additional data such as the amount of shopping the people do in Nashville and other information that would make shopping more attractive and convenient for area residents.

Hastings Sanitary Service was able to make refuse pick-up Thursday, although much is still buried at the curbsides. All in all, it was a memorable time but for most folks it will be more en­ joyable looking back on it come next June. The wedding reception for Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Frith had to be postponed due to the storm. It had originally been set for January 28th, but was rescheduled for February 5th. The reception, held at the VFW Hall in Nashville, honored the couple (she was the former Linda Shaffer Tobias) who were married December 24th. Village Clerk Suzy Corkwell and Tim Smith, Director of Public Services and Safety, have been busy working on special reports for the State and Federal government to qualify Nashville for emergency funds to help compensate for the cost of snow removal during the storm. Working with them on the reports is Mike Norton, Barry County Civil Defense Director. The elusive budget meeting of the Nashville Village Council has again had to be rescheduled. The meeting, to plan anticipated expenditures and revenues for the upcoming fiscal year, had to be postponed twice in January. It was originally set for January 5th, but had to be cancelled due to illness when so many council members came down with the flu. It was then rescheduled for January 26th; which turned out to be the day the blizzard hit. Now the meeting has again been rescheduled for February 9th. It will follow the regular council meeting arid is also open to the public. Hopefully, February will be a better month for “budgeting” than was January. Mrs. Gloria Johncock was awakened about midnight Sunday, during the storm, by intense smoke in her home. The Nashville Fire Department was summoned from the fire barn where they were keeping an around-the-clock vigil. As soon as the firemen arrived, they discovered that the motor on the furnace had burned out and the fan was blowing smoke throughout the house. It was’ especially dense in the second floor. A new furnace motor was installed and luckily no damage was done. Miss Edith Parks sends greetings from the ex-Nashville folks residing at the Clark Memorial Home in Grand Rapids to all their friends here. Presently at the home, in ad­ dition to Miss Parks, are Mr. and Mrs. Ray Hartwell, Rev. and Mrs. Clyde Gibson, -Mrs. Helen Balch, Rev. Viola Norman, Mrs. Rhoda Lathrop, and Mrs. Roy Garlinger. Mrs. Zoe Gillett had been with them, but moved to the Barry County Medical Facility to be nearer her old home and friends. Miss Parks writes that Clark is a real home to them, and they get excellent care. She says she has many happy memories of Nashville. For readers who may wish'to correspond, the address of the Clark Home is 1546 Sher­ man S. E., Grand Rapids, 49056. We send all these nice folks best wishes on behalf of their many Nashville friends. Folks getting together to visit is one of the happier sidelights of a confining blizzard. Bill and Mary Hecker helped relieve “cabin fever” for several friends Saturday evening during the storm by -inviting them to their home for a party. Five couples were able to mavigate from their own homes, up the’ steep hill (which had been plowed) to the Hecker home, for a very enjoyable time. John Mason of the Nashville Fire Department asked us to express thanks from the Department to all. the volunteers who supplied snowmobiles, sleds. four-wheelers, manpower and CB units to aid the firemen during the storm. With this help, the Department was able to deliver groceries and medicine to stranded families and provide emergency medical tran­ sportation. In one instance, a lady was brought out by snowmobile sled from her home on Greggs Crossing Road to be transported to Pennock Hospital for treatment of an eye injury. The Fire Department maintained a 24-hour vigil at the fire barn Thursday through Sunday. The men slept on cots brought to them from the Civil Defense Office in Hastings by Officer Gene Koetje, according to Chief Wilcox of the Nashville Police Dept. John also pointed out how much the Department appreciated the terrific service provided by Carl’s Market in keeping the store open to provide the firemen with food and prepare boxes of groceries for stranded families. The firemen were very im­ pressed with the kindness of Don Joseph, store owner, and all the nice folks working for him. Sunday, during the storm emergency, the Nashville Fire Department ambulance responded to a call on Thornapple Lake Road when Mrs. Dennis (Helen) Hay had the misfortune to fall down a flight of stairs while carrying her youngest child. Mrs. Hay broke her ankle in three places. The ambulance was accompanied to the scene by a four-wheel drive vehicle with a blade. While the firemen ad­ ministered first aid, the four­ wheeler plowed the drive to allow the ambulance to come close enough to load the' patient for transport to the hospital. Mrs. Hay reportedly has had a pin inserted in her ankle and is doing as well as can be expected. The Riverside Recreational Development Corp, met at the Hecker Agency last Wednesday evening to discuss plans for two upcoming community events. This volunteer group, which was formed to develop the land behind the stores for recreational use, sponsored the 1977 Nashville Harvest Festival. On the agenda for this year are an “April Fools Dance” and a 1978 Harvest Festival, which will be staged in conjunction with the annual homecoming game. The April 1st dance will be held at the Nash­ ville Fire Barn with' music-by Rick Rodriquez and his band. Tickets will be $3.00 single, arid $5.00 couple. Plans for the Harvest Festival, slated for October 6th, 7th and 8th, include a parade, dance, talent show and possibly a carnival. The homecoming game with Carson City will be played at 4:00 p.m. Saturday afternoon, instead of the usual time Friday evening. The game will be proceeded by a parade, now tenatively set for 2:00 p.m. We will have more information oh this as plans progress. Proceeds from all these events will be used for the building of softball diamonds and other community recreational facilities in the designated area west of Main Street. Presently serving as board members for this organization are: Lois Elliston, Sallye Me Lean, Susan Corkwell, Bill Hecker, Judd Cooley, Dennis Lamie and Hal Phenix. Rev. Leonard Putnam of the Nashville United Methodist Church attended a four-day Pastor’s Conference at Ashbury Seminary in Wilmore, Kentucky last week, as part of the con­ tinuing education program for ministers of the church. We were sorry to hear of the death of Mrs.‘Clara Belle Powers on January 27th. Mrs: Powers had contributed much to the good of our community over the years, particularly in her work with the Girl Scout program. New officers of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce for 1978 held a meeting last Tuesday evening to appoint standing committees for the year. Names of the individuals appointed will be announced at the dinner meeting, February 8th, by President John Mason. Dinner committee for the month is: John Simon, Chairman; Elaine Leonard and Irene Goodnoe. The serious flu seems to be on the wane in Nashville though we understand both JMrs. Elsie Cogswell and Mrs. Esta Day are still confined to their homes with it.

For the past couple of weeks, activity in our group has slowed drastically-somewhat fromcolder weather with snow un­ derfoot, but mostly from the ravages of the 'flu epidemic. Our regular attendance has been smaller by 10 to 15 people daily. Our “buddy” telephoning system proved its worth the first of the month! When my neighbor lady failed to answer my morning call, I rushed to her house and found her lying on the bedroom floor. After getting her into bed, making her comfortable, calling the Doctor and relatives, and subsequently seeing her off to the hospital, my duty was ac­ complished. She was suffering from ‘flu and pneumonia, but is convalescing satisfactorily. We decided at our January meeting to serve an All-You-CanEat CHILI SUPPER to the public on Feb. 24th, 5 to 8 p.m. at the Immunization clinic! Are you living in the past? Not so many years ago mothers took their children to the homes of children suffering from childhood diseases (like rubella and mumps). It was believed that getting certain diseases during childhood would offer protection in later life. We know today that many “childhood diseases” can be dangerous to young children. You can protect them from dangers by bringing them to the Health Department Im­ munization Clinic. Take time today to review your child’s immunization record. If you are unsure that he or she is up to date, call your doctor or the Health Department. Don’t forget! Health Depart­ ment Immunization Clinic dates: Monday, Feb. 6 - 9-11 A.M. and 1:30-3:30 P.M.

Proceeds are divided among the various participating organizations, based on the hours of labor contributed on their behalf. The Association feels this should be a particularly productive season due to the amount of moisture received this winter. The groundhog saw his shadow in Nashville, February 2nd; as well as in Punxsutawney, Penn­ sylvania. That fact probably assures us of six more weeks of winter. At least this seems likely to believers in the groundhog tradition and, since the blizzard, probably also to the nonbelievers. Copies of the “blizzard of ‘78" issue of the Maple Valley News seemed to be in short supply in Nashville last .week. Carl's Market ran out of additional copies on Tuesday, the day the paper was delivered, and had to have extra copies brought to the store Thursday. Many readers were seeking papers to save as mementos of the storm, while others were mailing them to outof-state friends and relatives.

The measure contains $4.5 million for such projects. “Michigan, with its vast natural wood resources, is in a good position to make use of this material in order to provide some of the basic energy we need to continue our manufacturing, agricultural and private en- Occasionally we are called upon to arrange for funeral services and burial in distant cities.

This puts us in a far more tenable position.” “Besides creating a more economical fuel source for the creation of electricity, the pilot projects, and hopefully any programs that come from these initial undertakings, will create numerous jobs for people throughout Michigan, particularly in the upper regions of the state,” Allen commented. “Statistics show that over 250 jobs could be created per million tons of wood fuel harvested.” “Environmentally, wood is the best, most economical, least offensive material we can utilize for the creation of energy,” Allen continued. “While conservation of our precious, non-renewable resources is necessary, it seems ill-advised to let this natural, renewable resource we have here in the state go untouched for the most part. I believe, in the long run, a better environment for all of us will result,” he concluded. The measure, Senate Bill 1357, has been referred to the Ap­ propriations Committee for review.

Wednesday February 8, 1978 -- Page 6 Project find to help handicapped youngsters in Eaton Intermediate School District— A weekly report from: Nashville Village President George Frith and Vermontville Village President Vern Trowbridge signed a proclamation last week declaring the week of Feb. 19-25 as Project Find Week. The purpose of the declaration is for an ajl-out effort to identify people from birth to 25 years of age in the state and especially in the Eaton In­ termediate School District who are handicapped and eligible for public school special education services. The services available are a speech pathologist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, and an educator-coordinator in the Eaton Intermediate School District. Those considered handicapped are the severely mentally impaired, trainable mentally impaired, educable mentally impaired, emotionally impaired, hearing impaired, visually impaired, physically and otherwise health impaired, speech and language impaired, severely multiply impaired, and the learning disabled. The first procedure is to see the child and work with doctors to evaluate the child’s condition and needs. “We are especially interested in locating babies and pre­ schoolers under the age of 3,” says Peg Cameron, Project Find Coordinator. “We feature the Home Program where the Senator Richard Allen Some people dismiss the agricultural strike on the basis of its demand for parity prices for all agricultural commodities. They point out this would require about a 40 percent increase in farm prices, and claim this degree of increase would have a disastrous impact on the t domestic and international markets. On this point, I side with the American Agricultural Movement. They correctly point out that since only about 35 percent of the food dollar goes to farmers, a 40 percent increase in farm prices would translate into only a 15 percent increase in retail food prices. It is simply not correct to assume, as many do, that middleman costs and profits would automatically increase Nashville president George Frith signs the proclamation commensurately with farm for Project Find Week from Feb. 19-25 Saturday as Peg prices, causing the retail price to Cameron, Project Find education-coordination looks on. go up 40 percent.

Remember MOM on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14th All notices should be delivered to Carls by Wednesday evening in order to be printed in the following issue of the Maple Valley News. Benefit Gospel Sing Actually, the food market works a little the opposite of the pessimists’ assumption that a 40 percent farm price increase would cause a similar middleman increase. Middleman increase their percentage take and profits and, thereby, their susceptibility to higher wage demands, during time of falling farm prices. When farm prices are rising, however, consumer resistance puts a brake on middleman increases. So, it’s my conclusion that a 40 percent increase in farm prices would not necessarily result in much more than a 15 percent increase in overall domestic retail food prices that could be related directly to the farm prices increase. (Naturally, inflation and other causes would continue to add their increment.) In fact, the percentage of family income spent for food would need to increase from its current historic low of nearly 16 percent to only about 19 percent — still tinder 20 percent, a point that only a few years ago was considered to be about as low as it could go. So, American consumers would not be seriously damaged by parity prices for farm products. But what about international markets? Here I think the answer is even simpler. We are in an international trade position on agricultural commodities similar to that of the Middle East chi oil. They have increased the price of oil fivefold in less than a decade — and the world simply pays. J think it’s safe to assume, therefore, that the world will pay the price we demand for food. While I don’t see the problems some do in the effect on domestic or international economies, I do see serious problems from the American Agricultural Movement’s policies related to changes in demand and necessary changes in production.

MICHIGAN: The State’s cattle feeders have reduced their in­ ventories 7 percent, according to a January 1, 1978 survey by the Michigan Crop Reporting Ser­ vice. The number of cattle and calves on feed slipped to 200,000 head this year compared with 215,000 in January 1977. Placements of cattle into feedlots during October, November, and December were off 10 percent as 97,000 cattle and calves were put on fattening feeds. Movement to slaughter market of 65,000 head, was the same as a year ago, and 8 percent more than expected 3 months ago. Cattlemen anticipate a 5 percent increase in marketings for the next 3 months. Heavy summer placements are now reaching finishing weights. Fewer cattle in the 500-900 pound weight groups, however, point to shortages next summer. Heifers continue to be the hot item for feeding these days. Cattlemen are feeding 4 percent more heifers than last year. Steers, on the other hand, have fallen 8 percent. Michigan continues to be a predominant steer feeding State, where steers outnumber heifers seven to one. Getting all your adventure from TV?

And another 13 percent of the American population would like to own a horse. The survey was conducted in mid-October as part of Gallup’s bimonthly surveys of public attitudes and opinions. It was sponsored by the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA), Amarillo, Texas, the nation’s largest equine registry. Four percent of the population currently owns a horse, while 17 percent have owned horses in the past, the survey found.

Horse ownership is most common among residents of small towns and rural areas, and residents of the western United States, the survey showed. But among the non-horse­ owning public, those most in­ terested in purchasing a horse are residents of middle sized cities, individuals in professional and business occupations, members of the $10,000 to $20,000 income category, and individuals with a college education. “The role of the horse in today’s society is much different than it was two generations ago,” noted Albert Becker of Kansas City, Kansas, AQHA President. “The horse is now a source of recreation and pleasure, in ad­ dition to being a full-fledged business for thousands of people, and represents more than a $13 billion contribution to the nation’s economy.” When non-horse owners were asked what kept them from purchasing a horse, lack of facilities to keep a horse and living in the city were at the top of the list. Expense of owning a horse was the third most men­ tioned. “The potential exists to triple horse ownership in this country,” Becker said. “The horse industry must be watchful of zoning restrictions on the local govern- CAN YOU ANSWER THESE BASIC ECONOMIC QUESTIONS?

Also, we must encourage the development of trails and bridle paths in our parks and recreation facilities.” Concerning the costs of owning a horse, Becker said it cost no more to, own and keep a horse than the expense involved in many other hobbies. .“Purchasing a horse is like purchasing a car. There are many types available,” Becker said. He stated that prices for horses generally range from $300 to several thousand, depending on the horse. The American Quarter Horse Association was founded in 1940 to officially register and keep records on Quarter Horses. Only 1,000 horses were registered in 1941. During 1977, nearly 100,000 were registered and more than 180,000 went to new owners. All totalled, 1.3 million Quarter Horses have been registered since 1940. G (3.)

The large crowd that attended the Historical Society meeting last Thursday evening went home with sweet and happy feelings. After the usual bountiful potluck, President Martha Zemke in­ troduced the 1977 Maple Syrup Queen, Miss Shirley O’Dell and four of her court. Miss O’Dell explained some of their pleasant experiences of the past year. Then the speaker for the evening was introduced—Mr. Frank Hand of Lansing, State Editor of the State Journal. His topic was "Behind the Lines in Newspaper Work” telling of the difficulties and sometimes humorous in­ cidents that occur. A most en­ joyable program. Mrs. Ava Kroger related some information regarding time of tapping and prices of syrup, etc. taken from an old diary by Frank Kroger dated 1910-1945. In 1910 syrup sold at 75 cents a gallon and in 1945 only $3.50. The earliest date for tapping was February 15, 1921. Mrs. Fern Gearhart who boiled the syrup for the party to just the right stage for making it into sugar, talked about the modern method of using tubing instead of buckets but still has its dif­ ficulties. Producers using the bucket method today must pay $4.31 for a bucket, cover and spile, more than syrup sold for in 1945. Mrs. Gearhart had a display of old buckets, molds and spiles, one can of 1902 had a copper handle, also some pitchers and jugs of 1861-1872. By then the syrup was ready and everyone was busy stirring. The speaker was given a gift of 'maple products. �Th* Mopl* Valley New*. Nashville.

These men certainly performed “above and beyond the call of duty” to clear our village streets as rapidly as possible during the emergency. Several complaints have been heard recently about stray dogs running loose in Nashville, so we checked with Chief Wilcox of the for Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley Nashville folks had the “luck of the Irish" when it came to win­ ning raffle and door prizes at the recent Scottish Celebration in Hastings. A benefit for Charlton Park’s building program, three Nashville merchants were among those donating prizes for the event at the Elks Temple. Donating merchants were Kelley’s Variety Store,^South End Food and Beverage, and Carl’s Market.Local folks who won prizes were Mary Hecker (a stained glass window decoration), Jerry Shoup (a fancy belt buckle) and Tim Smith (a macrame plant hanger). Winning a special prize for traveling the farthest distance to attend, of the 200 people present, was Mrs. Jeanne (Hecker) Burke of Ann Arbor. Jeanne, a Nash­ ville native and sister of Bill Hecker, received a gift certificate from the Lee Ann Shoppe in Hastings. Also receiving a special award, because the event fell on his birthday, was Max Kelley of Nashville. The program and dinner, staged by the Clan Mac Meil of Williamston and Alma, drew a capacity crowd. Approximately 30 Nashville people were in the audience.

He tells us that the responsibility lies with the Barry County Commissioners since the county receives all the revenue from the sale of dog licenses. The village receives absolutely no funding to cover this. The Commissioners hire an animal control officer to cover complaints throughout the county. Barry County recently conducted a dog census to spot unlicensed dogs so that violation citations could be issued. However, this census apparently did not cover all rural areas, although Nashville was done in a door-to-door survey.

Mrs. Castelein asked us to express special thanks to Jerry Brumm of Nashville Hardware for his help during the recent snowstorm. Seems Mrs. Castelein’s son was attempting to plow out her drive when the belt on his tractor broke. Jerry made a special trip to the store on Sunday evening so the belt could be replaced and the job com­ pleted.

Nashville, Wednesday February 15, 1978 — Page 4 Sue Hinkley: adding the personal touch to the news Aunt Millie was up from Florida last week visiting friends and relatives. The Harpers are the proud parents of a new baby girl. The Womens Club will meet next Wednesday to formulate money-making projects for the upcoming year. It is nice to hear that elderly Mr. Roberts has been released from the hospital and is recovering nicely at home. Since the advent of print media small town papers everywhere have featured the community news and personal column...better know sometimes as the gossip column. Ave Kroger has treated our readers for some time now with such a column called the “Vermontville News”. And since last December 28 the Maple Valley News has been pleased to feature a similar column by Sue Hinckley ap­ propriately titled “Nashville News”. Writing is nothing new for Sue as she has enjoyed writing since 6th grade. Later, she was the editor of the Nashville High School paper and the school yearbook. Writing also runs in her family as her cousin in Texas recently had her first novel published. Her grandmother, Mary Murphy, wrote a com­ munity news column for the Woodland paper in the 1930’s and 1940’s. “I had been thinking about writing this column for quite some time now,” says Sue. “My interest was revived when I was going through some old things and started reading some of my grandmother’s articles.” “I wasn’t sure how the column would go over at first and was a little hesitant about starting it, but the people have really shown an interest in it, including out-oftowners. I don’t think it will fizzle if people continue to cooperate. I try to keep a mixture of news items so we can keep a mixed audience...! wouldn’t want to write all personals”. Sue’s article includes village government news, police news, library news, church news, and news items from the fire department. “I thought the column might be dry and I wanted it to appeal to all age groups,” says Sue. “I thoroughly enjoy it even though it’s very time consuming. “I hope the column will, at least in a small way, help Nash­ ville maintain it’s own identity. With school consolidation and other measures which now seem necessary in the name of progress, we risk losing something very precious. Nash­ ville is a village rich in history and is a community of mar­ velous, friendly people who have been sharing and caring over many years. I would like to see that special feeling preserved. “It is nice to share items of personal interest with our friends and neighbors, happy as well as sad times. We enjoy covering items of the history of our town and of former residents. This helps tie the past with the present and brings us all a little closer.” “I also hope the column will help promote better com­ munication, particularly in the area of village business,” con­ tinues Sue. “Complete and ac­ curate reporting of public meetings can often prevent misunderstandings and rumors. I have regularly attended village council meetings for the past three years, the chamber of commerce meeting for the past five, and the library board the past three. This will permit me to share these meetings with readers who are unable to attend. Too often in the past, residents have not had an opportunity to learn directly about actions taken at these and other public meetings. Hopefully, the column can remedy this situation”. “I would like people to know that their news is important and if they’d like, we would like to share it with others.” Sue begins the column each week by contacting key people: Suzy Corkwell at the village hall; police chief Kendal Wilcox for the police news; Rev. brother, Dave Murphy, lives in Nashville. Sue is a 1955 Nashville High School graduate, where she at­ tended school for three years. In the fall of 1955, she married Ray Hinckley, the son of the late Merrill Hinckley and Ona Hin­ ckley who still resides in Nash­ ville. Ray and Sue moved to Battle Creek in 1957. Sue took her first job there in 1959 with Public Finance, staying with them for three years. For the next seven years, she worked for Associates Finance starting in bookkeeping and finishing as an assistant manager of a small branch office of the firm. Ray worked at the main office of Security National Bank in Battle Creek during their last six years there. He was made the Nashville branch manager of the bank in 1972, the year the Hinckleys returned to live in Nashville. Sue has been the treasurer of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce for three years, she has been the secretary and a trustee of the Putnam Public Library Board since 1974. She has handled the publicity writing for some events at Charlton Park. She and Ray collect antique postcards that are dated before 1915. She said the postcards increase in value if they have a legible postmark. She and Ray have also been geneology enthusiasts for the last 15 years. They have traced Ray’s family back to 1635, 10 generations ago when the Hin- ckleys first came to America. They went east a couple times visiting librarys, museums and graveyards looking for the family roots. Sue’s column may well be kept for future generations of present Nashville people to read Continued on next page col. 2 have chaired several parades sponsored by the chamber of commerce. She and Suzy Corkwell are currently working together on the preparations for the 1978 Harvest Festival Parade. Sue’s hobbies include amatuer hand-writing analysis for the last five years, and she and Ray Sue has several key sources of news in the village. In photo she gets the latest police scoop from Nashville Police Chief Kendal Wilcox. Leonard Putnam and the other ministers in town for church news; John Mason for the fire department news; and LaDuska Sheldon for library news. After that she spots various ads and notices in the paper and follows up on these for news items. “Sometimes I just get out the phone book and start calling people if the news is slow and say ‘what’s happening’? I try to contact the people directly to verify my articles, I either talk to them personally or to relatives”. Sue was born in Woodland to Verlin and Janette Murphy. The family also lived in Dearborn, Nashville, and Texas. Her parents and one of her sisters now reside in Texas, another sister lives in Woodland, and her Mr. and Mrs. Ray Hinckley. tUmiI\nCtt!rv Sp.ends 7V?ny.!?ou.rs onnthe Phone and a’ the typewriter in order to bring her column to the readers of the Maple Valley News each week. �The Maple Valley News.

Starting Feb. 17th right after school, girls from 3 Vermontville troops will be out door to door getting orders for this years cookie sale. The price is $1.25 per box. All cookies are pre ordered, and payment for them are made when delivery is made the middle of March. There are 6 varieties, including a new addition this year, a “Snow Drop” which is a chocolate cake covered with a marshmellow coating. The ever popular “Mint” has been improved by including a creamy mint layer over the chocolate cookie than covered with a chocolate mint frosting. The “Peanut Butter Pattie” also has the layer of peanutbutter. The other varities include the “Peanut Butter Sandwich cookie”, a “Vanilla Sandwich Creme” and the “Shortbread Cookie”. When the girl comes around with the order sheet you fill out, take time to look at the pictures & description and notice the number of cookies in each box as it varies each variety. As in the past, troops receive a 10 cents profit per box. This does not sound like much to the public, but these national cookie sales is not intended to finance in­ dividual girls or troops. The girls understand that this is a service project they in turn do for their local councils. Our Council, The Michigan Capital Council receives less than one third of its income from the United Way Funds, the rest it must raise it­ self, so the* product sales program is vital to make up the rest of its annual of budget. The girls are individually able to earn a cookie patch for selling 50 or 100 boxes and also they may earn a $10.00 camp credit which may be used for Day Camp or established camping sessions by selling $125'00 worth of cookies. The sales in Vermontville in the past have been excellent. In 1976, 1272 boxes were sold and last year 1872 boxes were sold, maybe this year that figure may in­ crease again. Sales will continue until March 4th. If you are not contacted by a Juni.or, Cadette or Senior scout, you may call these leaders or adults to place your order.

State St., Nashville 852-0882 To The Editor As a bi-stander during the snow storm I was proud of the people of Nashville. I was warmed to see neighbors helping each other, and picking up groceries for one another. Also I was grateful to the fire department. They spent many hours manning the station along with two snowplows and drivers from the county road commission ready for any emergency. They also delivered groceries and medicine. Meanwhile I, like most everyone else, enjoyed staying home with my family. The street crew did a fine job clearing the streets of Nashville. The South End, and the gas stations opened so people could pickup needed supplies and fuel. I was most impressed by Carl’s Market. The Joesph’s and their employees opened thru the storm with much needed supplies for everyone. Don even slept on the checkout counter near the door in case of any emergency needs in the night. They took their four wheel drive truck and made it to supply warehouses to transport badly needed groceries back for the Maple Valley People. They also put up many deliveries for the fire department and snowmobilers, giving credit to some people they’ed never heard of. In closing, I am proud of the way the people and businesses of Nashville came through in the “blizzard of 78”. It’s a great place to live.

Chapter join with over 500,000 other FFA members in the United States in celebrating National FFA WEEK which starts February 18. This is also the beginning of the 50th An­ niversary for FFA. Throughout the Week the state’s 165 chapters are planning activities to support the theme FFA at 50 “A GOLDEN PAST - a brighter future.” The traditions of FFA have held strong and produced a mighty work force for food and fiber to meet the needs of our nation and the world. Successful agricultural leaders of today are the testimony. The 50-year success story is the story of Learning By Doing. National FFA WEEK always includes George Washington’s birthday in observance of his leadership in promoting scien­ tific farming practices. Washington is considered the patron saint of the FFA and has come to symbolize the FFA Treasurer. Organized in 1928, the FFA promotes leadership, cooperation and citizenship among high school vocational agricultural students. The FFA Foundation awards program provides chapter, state and national recognition for supervised programs of agricultural production, marketing, processing and service.

Chris Beebe had an outstanding night with 20 points and seven rebounds. Tony Joostberns had 15 points and lead the team with 12 rebounds. “We wanted this game very badly”, says Coach Ruohonen. “Everyone from the Coach to the manager and players had their heart in this game, but it wasn’t our night to win. Our record now is 7-9 with three games remaining, and we need all three games for a winning season. It should prove to be an exciting final week of basketball”.

Each team attempted to score again and failed when Hansbarger grabbed a defensive rebound and passed the ball to Benton who spotted Joostbems all alone under the Lion bucket. Joostberns converted Benton’s pass into a layup for the final basket of the game. With 11 seconds remaining, the Mustangs were unable to score and the Lions won the hard fought victory 60-55. Though the Lions had a poor shooting percentage, they refused to give up and used their defensive hustle to get Montabella to turn the ball over. This combined with a lower number of Lion turnover helped the hometeam keep the advantage during most of the game.

Charles Viele, treasurer, Board of Education, will be the school district representative at the hearing on the proposed budget for the Eaton Intermediate School District for the 1978-79 school year. The hearing will be held at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, February 16, at the office of the Eaton Intermediate School District. The board members accepted a letter of resignation from Mary Fox stating that she desired to resign as varsity and junior varsity cheerleading advisor. Representatives of the varsity club and athletic boosters were present at the meeting asking that the school district pay for the weight machine at this time with these groups to repay the school district for the balance. The total cost of the machine is $4,310, and these groups are able to pay approximately $2,350 at this time. Approval was given the payment of this machine through the general fund as requested with board members Arlene DeCamp, John Viele, Charles Viele, Wayne Cogswell, and Wilbur Marsh voting yes; and Elam Rockwell and Robert Dormer voting no. At a prior meeting the board members had been informed that the total amount of funds would be available for the purchase of the machine. Approval was given a resolution to obtain seventy-five percent reimbursement for added costs of $1,084.18 involved in snow removal during the recent storm.

The Lions’ record stands at 8-11 for the year. The visiting Lions were taken by surprise Tuesday as a fired-up Carson City team jumped off to a 21-15 first quarter advantage behind some excellent field goal shooting. The Eagles carried their advantage into the halftime increasing the lead to 41-33. Poor free-throw shooting plaqued the Lions as they were able to hit only 3 of 18 attempts from the charity stripe in the first half. We salute the FFA and all It's members.

Congratulations FFA on 50 years of service— Maple Valley turned things around in the second half however, as they scored the first two points at the beginning of the third quarter then applied a full court press. The Eagles were unable to find an open man and the Lions took possession of the ball and scored once more. The tight press and improved defense made Carson City mushandle the ball and some key steals by Jeff Zemke finally put MV ahead 58-57 by the end of the third quarter. The Eagles were unable to catch the Lions in the final period. MV’s big center Andy Joostberns Continued on page 11 �Th* Moplo Volley News, Noohvill*.

Mr. and Mrs. Vem Hawblitz of Nashville were honored at a special family party Sunday, February 13th, when their children gathered at their home on Middle Street to celebrate the Hawblitz’s 53rd wedding an­ niversary. Present for the event were Mr. and Mrs. Larry Hawblitz’s and children, Tereese and Kiven, of Battle Creek; Mr. and Mrs. Dale Bishop, also of Battle Creek; and Mr. and Mrs. Blair Hawblitz of Nashville. Mrs. Edith Belson celebrated her 80th birthday last Saturday and we hope she heard from many of her friends. The item was called in to us too late for the column last week, but the Reminder staff kindly inserted a special story on the event. Mrs. Belson, the former Edith (Martin) Rich, is a Nashville native presently residing at the Barry County Medical Facility. If you missed sending her a card, please take time to remember her now. Tim Smith, Director of Public Works and Safety, reports that at present it appears Nashville will not be reimbursed with federal disaster relief funds for the first two days of snow removal following the recent blizzard. The state has not yet made a decision, but apparently the federal government feels that the health and safety of village residents was not endangered until the third day following the storm. According to this criteria, Smith says, the DPW crew could have disregarded the accumulating snow, waited two days, hired the streets plowed, and the village would have been fully reim-bursed. Smith, however, felt that the public health and safety was in danger due to impassable village streets and his crew worked around-the-clock to clear them, beginning at midnight Wednesday, the day the storm hit Nashville. It had been thought that the disaster' funds would cover the extra wages due these men, which would have relieved the village of some of the financial burden of the storm. The Robert Barnharts of Nashville announced the February 7th arrival of their eighth child by posting a large sign in the front window of their State Street home. The sign read “It’s a Boy— lOlbs. 9 ozs.” Congratulations to the Barnharts on the new ad­ dition to their family. Cinda Murphy of Nashville attended a Henry Chapin concert in Lansing, February IQth, with several friends and had a very enjoyable time.

Cost of this project is appoximately $500. “Mick” Davis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Boucher of S. Clark Road, had an unusual experience last week when he arrived by bus in El Paso, Texas to visit a friend who is stationed in the service there. Upon his arrival at the terminal (three hours late due to mechanical problems with the bus) his friend was nowhere in sight. Mick checked at the desk to see if his friend had left word for him. He was told “no”, although it later turned out the clerk was in error. Mick was unable to reach his friend by phone, so just decided to wait for him. He stayed at the bus terminal for eleven hours, with still no sign of his friend and no luck in locating him through the base where he is stationed. To make matters worse, Mick was carrying two cased shotguns in addition to his luggage. The boys are Fine Lake duck hunting buddies and planned to do some hunting in Texas. Finally deciding to find accommodations on his own, Mick proceeded to hike into a central area of the city, carrying the two guns, a knapsack and suitcase. Forty-five minutes later, on a heavily traveled high­ way, who should drive by but his friend, who immediately “rescued” Mick. Seems friend had been in all four bus terminals in the city looking for Mick, leaving messages, and having him unsuccessfully paged. In a city of 360,000 people it was quite a coincidence that both boys happened to be on the same high­ way, at the same time, some distance from the terminal where they had both been but not met. Mick reports that the terminal was extremely large, and he had a difficult time trying to get any rest while watching two guns. Chief Wilcox of the Nashville Police Department reports that there were two minor auto ac­ cidents last week, both in the vicinity of the Fuller Street school. Both were property damage accidents only, with no injuries. The Nashville Fire Department responded to a reported house fire at the Ford McGinley residence at Thornapple Lake, February 14th, at about 6:00 a.m. There were no visible flames when the firemen arrived on the scene as the occupants had put out the major portion of the fire with chemical extinquishers. The fire originated in the roof boards next to the chimney of a Franklin-type stove. Fortunately, the Me Ginleys were sleeping on the second floor, near the origin of the fire and were immediately awakened by it. The fire department spent about an hour on the scene, extinguishing the small remaining flames with water-soaked rags so that no hoses were necessary. The house is located on Lake Street, the road to the public access site off Thornapple Lake Road. Mrs. Bessie Decker suffered a Mrs. Bessie Decker suffered a light stroke, February 13th, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. William (Dorothy) Swift.

Two MVHS students will be competing in a 50-hour dance marathon February 24th, 25th, and 26th at the Meridian Mall in Lansing. Dancing in the com­ petition, which is a fund-raising event for the fight against multiple sclerosis, will be Sandy Hulbert of Vermontville and Gregg Dunkleberger of Nash­ ville. For every four hours danced, the couple will be allowed half an hour of rest. Dancers who last the entire 50 hours and raise the largest amount of pledge donations from their sponsors will be the win­ ners. Sponsors promise to pay the charity a certain amount of money for each hour danced by “their” couple. Sandy and Gregg have obtained over $800. in pledges so far and hope to reach $1,000. before the dance. The winning dancers will be eligible for a 7-day trip to Jamaica and scholarships in the amount of $500. The event will be covered live by a Lansing radio station and Sandy and Gregg hope some local folks will be on hand to cheer them on. Sandy, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Hulbert of Vermontville, is a niece of Mr. and Mrs. Earl Blake of Nashville. She successfully completed a 24hour dance marathon this past summer.

Kent, who wanted to do something for the Shiltons in return for the many hours they have donated to volunteer 4-H work, contacted gospel groups in Battle Creek and Hastings. Four groups have promised to appear, singing free of charge. A free will offering will be taken with proceeds going to the Shilton family.

Several cases of frozen water service lines have been reported to the DPW as the frost goes deeper into the ground. The village hires Jones Service of Bellevue to unthaw the lines, using special electrical equip­ ment. The first service call is at village expense. However, on a second freeze-up the water user must pay the charge. If residents feel that their lines may be in danger of freezing, they are encouraged to leave a tap run­ ning. Village Clerk Suzy Corkwell will make an adjustment in the water bill for customers who have this problem and report it to her.

A most interesting program was provided by Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ackett. They displayed a very complete collection of Nashville memorabilia, including - scrap­ books and pictures of many old businesses, buildings, and early residents of our village. The history of the Nashville Fire Department, on which the Ackett family has been continuously represented over many years, was also discussed. The local school and former schoolteachers were another interesting feature of the presentation. Much con­ versation, sharing and remembering, followed the program, which made a very enjoyable meeting for the group. Mrs. Esta Day is now recovered from a serious bout with the flu, and was able to attend the Senior Citizens dinner last Wednesday. Lyle French of Nashville at­ tended a meeting in Jackson last Sunday of the Wolverine State Horseshoe Pitchers Association.

At this writing it seems likely he will be home by the time this column appears. Son, John, reports he expects Ben will be off work for about two weeks of recuperation. The Nashville Fire Department responded to a reported brush fire next to a house on Lawrence Road last Thursday at 7:30 a.m., only to find it was a false alarm. After a thorough search of the area, it was established that the call was a hoax by a young boy. A false fire alarm is a criminal offense, and a serious financial hardship on the fire department. Also, other lives and property could be jeopardized if an actual emergency should occur while the men and equipment are out tracing down a non-existent fire.

Farmers plan sharp increases for soybeans and oats in state Michigan farmers have ex­ pressed intentions to plant considerably more acres of dry beans, soybeans, and oats this spring, according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. However, there is more un­ certainty this winter as to actual spring plantings. This is due to lower farm prices and increased unrest among farmers. * No change in sugarbeet acreage is expected, but with a sharp cut last fall in acreage seeded to winter wheat, corn acreage may increaseslightly. FEED*-GRAINS: Farmers are planning a small increase of one percent in acres planted to corn for all purposes. This would raise corn acreage by 30,000 acres over last year to 2,750,000 acres. Plans for oats indicate a 15 percent increase in acreage to 460,000 acres. Some oats will be planted as a nurse crop for legume seedings and to furnish straw for livestock bedding. DRY BEANS: January in­ tention reports point towards a 7 percent increase in dry beans to 590,000 acres, 40,000 more than planted last year. With last falls dry bean harvest disaster, but current favorable bean prices, it is difficult to access growers current intentions. SOYBEANS: Much of the acreage not planted to winter wheat last fall may- go into soybeans. A 16 percent increase to 850,000 acres is indicated, 120,000 more acres than planted last spring. WINTER WHEAT: Michigan farmers planted only 490,000 acres of winter wheat last fall, a cut of 44 percent or 380,000 acres from the previous fall. This leaves considerable acreage available for increasing hay, soybeans, and other crops. 157 South Main, Vermontville PH. 726-0330 * ********************************* Bob Lacinski, Community Relations Manager Jackson, offers you this telephone tip: Call us before you move... you might save unnecessary expense.

This is intended to help reduce hospital costs, though some day it could hurt rural RACIAL STEERING’- Now in the Senate is HB 4846, which would set penalties for real estate brokers who “steer” people to or from a given neighborhood due to racial considerations. This is part of a multi-bill package dealing with “redlining.” TANKER BAN - The Senate is now considering HB 5432, winch would authorize the state police to ban tank trucks—like double­ bottom tankers—carrying hazardous materials from state roads during certain specified emergency conditions. REAPPORTIONMENT REVISION - The House Republican Leader has in­ troduced HJR “FF”, developed by Common Cause, which would revise current procedures for 10­ year reapportionments of legislative and Congressional districts.

AUTO OWNERS INSURANCE 178 S. Main, Vermontville Ernest Nash Phone 726-0580 Life — Home — Car — Business American tax laws provide Federal income tax benefits for persons age 65 and older. The following questions and answers are supplied by' the Internal Revenue Service to explain these benefits. Q: What are the filing requirements for persons age 65 and older? A: Single persons age 65 and older must file a return if their gross income comes to $3,700. Married couples filing jointly have a $5,450 requirement when only one spouse is 65 or older or $6,200 if both are 65 or older. Q: Are there special tax benefits for taxpayers age 65 and older, other than liberal filing requirements? A: Yes. Taxpayers at age 65 are allowed an extra $750 per­ sonal exemption based on age, similar to the extra exemption granted to blind taxpayers. A break on the sale of a home and the tax credit for the elderly, which last year replaced the Retirement Income Credit, are available to many senior citizens. Q: What about the tax credit for the elderly? A: The credit is again available to certain taxpayers on a portion of their income. As was thee case last year, the IRS will compute the tax credit for the elderly. Additional information is found in the tax package instructions as well as in a number of free IRS publications. Publication 523, “Tax Information on Selling or Purchasing Your Home,” 524, “Tax Credit for the Elderly;’’ and 554, "Tax Benefits for Older Americans, can be ordered from IRS using the handy order blank in the tax package. would cover things like preventing hail on crops, dissipating fog, and, of course, rainmaking. POT BILL - The controversial proposal to reduce penalties for the possession or use of small amounts of marijuana has been introduced in the Senate as SB 1361, exactly as it last appeared in the House. That'bill, HB 4603, was first approved by a very narrow margin, then twice defeated by similarly narrow margins. Sponsors hope it will do better in the Senate. SCHOOLBOOK DEPOSITS - The Attorney General has ruled that local school districts can require students to pay a refundable deposit on their textbooks. Although the Supreme Court has ordered that schools provide free textbooks, a state law authorizes such deposits. WOMEN’S WORK - The state Labor Department has set up a special agency to help eliminate discrimination against female workers. This agency will work to close pay scale gaps, study female-male worker ratios, and expand employment op­ portunities for women.

WHAT’S THE PROPOSED LAW ABOUT? The Michigan Insurance Bureau has proposed legis­ lation which calls for radical changes in our State's insurance system. It is called the "Essential Insurance Reform Act", House Bill 5196. The law would make it easier for some people to obtain automobile, home­ owners and other types of coverage, insurance com­ panies would be required to provide coverage for anyone who requested it, at their regular rates. Then, high-risk policies could be assigned to a State operatea association. Underwriting losses of the association would be shared by all insurance policyholders in Michigan. IT COULD INCREASE YOUR INSURANCE RATES Most Michigan residents could be forced to further subsidize insurance costs for a small percentage of the population. The majority of State residents could be required to pay more of the coverage costs for home­ owners in high theft and arson areas. Good drivers could be paying a bigger part of the insurance costs for high-risk drivers — even more than today. IT WOULDN’T SOLVE THE REAL PROBLEMS Frozen Eckrich Bologna $109 Pizza 13 oz.

The proposed "Essential Insurance Reform" legislation doesn't address the conditions which have increased the cost of insurance and decreased its availability. The real problems are rampant inflation in the cost of goods and services which insurance pays for — and the rising number of losses. Arson and auto theft are increasing rapidly. There are more traffic accidents. Court awarded claim settlements have skyrocketed. AN ALTERNATIVE SOLUTION A limited number of people do find it difficult to purchase coverage through regular sources — because their potential for insurance losses is unusually great. However, Michigan presently has two state-sponsored programs through which these individuals can obtain auto and property insurance: the Michigan Auto Insurance Placement Facility and Michigan Basic Property Insurance Association, Part of the insurance premiums you pay today is used to support these government programs. We believe these existing programs could be altered to accomplish what is intended by the proposed "Essential Insurance Reform Act". Or, for auto in in-­ surance, high-risk policies could be mode available through a Joint Underwriting Association. It is not necessary to radically change our state's insurance system. And it's not fair to ask the majority of Michigan resident* to further subsidize insurance cost* for other*.

W*dn**doy February 22, 1978 - Pope 8 News from the house republican office press section in Lansing State Representative Ernest Nash (R-Dimondale) has been appointed to a special subcommittee to legislatively deal with a liability insurance problem faced by every county road commission in the state The special subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee, of which Nash is a member, will devote its effort to H.B. 4945 which, according to Nash, hopefully will solve the problem. “Many road commissions are not now able to purchase liability insurance, and those who can purchase it are paying exorbitant premiums,” Nash said. The problem, says Nash, is that the current law does not clearly define the traveled and non­ traveled portion of the road right- of-way, so the courts have ruled that everything that happens between the rights-of-way property lines is the liability of the county road commission or the state highway department, and must be maintained so it can be driven upon. “H.B. 4945 amends the current law so that the portion of the road right-of-way not driven upon is exempt from liability by the road commission and the state high­ way department,” Nash said. “The problem we’re having right now is coming up with a definition of where the traveled upon portion of the road ends and where the non-traveled portion of the right-of-way begins,.” he Continued on page 9— — NOTICE — There will be another special meeting following the regular meeting of the Nashville Village Council on February 23, 1978 for the purpose of reviewing the annual budget for the 1978-79 Fiscal Year, Susan M.

Wednesday February 22. 1978 - Page 9 Tax relief available to victims of Blizzard of '78 Detroit, MI—Immediate tax relief is available for many Michigan taxpayers who suffered property losses in the January 26 blizzard which warranted a declaration of emergency by the President, the Internal Revenue Service announced today. Tax law permits taxpayers in areas designated eligible for federal assistance to deduct losses on either their current year’s tax return or the prior year’s return, according to the IRS. Losses to business property are generally deductible in full while nonbusiness losses are deductible only in the amount that each exceeds $100, the IRS said. Deductions are not allowed for Coatined fro« page 8 cataM2 — added. Another problem, Nash pointed out, is the age of the road. “Many county roads were built 20 to 30 years ago using the best engineering technology available at that time. Advancements in technology since that time have, obviously, resulted in the building of better and safer roads. “We want to make it dear in the new law that these older roads must comply with current standards only when they are rebuilt or changed in some way, and to exempt the county road commission from liability if damages or injury is a result of outdated engineering stan­ dards,” Nash said. Nash pointed out that Eaton County has one of the fortunate road commissions that is able to obatain liability insurance, but this insurance alone cost $173,000 for this year. “Clinton County had its liability insurance cancelled, even though it had not made any claims, and Montcalm County, which only received $1.5 million in revenue sharing, pays more than $300,000 a year for liability insurance. “These kinds of expenditures out of the road commission budget pose a heavy burden and as a result, the amount of money available to spend on the roads is drastically reduced,” Nash said. Nash said he expects the special subcommittee will conclude its work on the bill in the near future so that legislative action to alleviate the problem faced by road commissions can occur yet this year. the portion of any loss reim­ bursed or expected to be reim­ bursed by insurance or other compensation. Individuals can amend the prior year’s return by completing Form 1040X and submitting it to the IRS. Cor­ porate taxpayers should use Form 1120X. All Michigan counties were designated eligible for federal assistance by the Federal Disaster Assistance - Administration administrator. Taxpayers should compile lists of those items damaged or destroyed, and determine thier value immediately before and after the loss occurred. Beforeand-after photos of the damaged property and judgements of appraisers are helpful in establishing the amount of loss. Taxpayers who need help in preparing their returns or claiming refunds should contact their local IRS office. Two helpful IRS booklets, Publication 547, “Tax Information on Disasters, Casualty Losses and Thefts,” and Publication 584 “Workbook for Determining Your Disaster Loss,” are also available free from IRS offices.

A weekly report from: Senator Richard Allen State Senator Richard Allen (R-Alma) has called 'upon the State Department of Natural Resources to promulgate strict rules prior to releasing any land currently enrolled under the Farmland and Open Space Preservation Act. “According to two opinions I received from the Attorney General, the DNR is-the agency which has the authority to release land currently enrolled under this Act when it is determined by the DNR that such a release is in the public interest,” Senator Allen explained. “Just because the DNR holds this authority, however, does not mean condemnation of the land, or purchase for other purposes, such as highway construction, should automatically result in the land being released.” “I just don’t think the DNR can simply release land as a matter of course, or under departmental policy, without first promulgating strict rules under which it should be done, thus establishing standards for the appropriate release of land,” he continued. At a recent appearance before the Natural Resources Commission, Senator Allen outlined what he believes the DNR’s rules regarding the use of released land should specify. “It is my opinion that the rules should mandate a thorough study of the long-term, projected changes which would occur as a result of any new use of land, and a determination of the economic impact that any new land use would have upon individual farms, the community, and the state as a whole,” he noted. “A thorough analysis of alternative lands should also be made if it is thought that a fewer number of acres would be disturbed as a result.’.’ Sen'ator Alien’s requests to the Attorney, regarding which state agency should have the authority to release lands currently enrolled under the Farmland and Open Space Preservation Act, grew out of the continuing controversy over the proposed placement of 1-69' in Eaton County. That proposed alignment includes the use of farms currently enrolled under the Act, and it has been estimated that the urbanization of some 16,000 acres of prime and essential farmland would result over the next 20 years from the contraction. Senator Allen appeared on the Commission agenda in conjunction with the Concerned Citizens About 1-69 (CCAI), a citizen action group from Eaton County promoting the retention of prime and essential farmland in Eaton County. The CCAI has asked the DNR to reaffirm its commitment to the preservation of farmland and to support relocation of the 1-69 corridor.

Nashville. Wednesday February 22. 1978 — Page 11 Karen Christensen The making of a ‘festival queen’ The desired qualities of a queen are not really tangible, yet most everyone seems to agree on the traits that are desired. It seems the most frequent qualities sought are scholastic aptitude, an outgoing personality, general appearance, health-wise and fit, spiritual being and a wholesome outlook on life. Karen Christensen, the 1978 Vermontville Maple Syrup Queen, seems to possess the appropriate ingredients that make an ideal recipe for a community queen. She will be presiding over the festivities at the Vermontville Syrup Festival the last weekend in April. Scholastically, Karen, a 16yearj -old junior at Maple Valley High School, has been on the National Honor Society and the Student Council for the last wo years. Her favorite subjects are math, science, and Spanish, and she enjoys reading novels in her spare time. “After high school I would like to go to Bethel College, a small liberal arts school in St. Paul, Minnesota,” Bryan Antes (43) gets fouled on his way to the bucket making a three-point play. (Maple Volley News Photo) highlighted the scoring by pouring in 32 points. Jeff Zemke added 13 and Dougl Halsey 10 points. All Varsity Lions saw action in the game. Leaque leader Saranac was given a good scare by the scrappy Lions Friday but were able to hold off the threat and defeat the host Lions 79-65. The action was fast paced in the first half with MV taking a 25­ 16 point lead in the first quarter. But Saranac narrowed that gap and took the lead for the first time with 4 minutes to play in the second quarter. The lead see­ sawed back and forth until the final second before the half when senior guard Pete Benton scored a bucket from half court that put the Lions ahead 33-31 at the second quarter buzzer. The third quarter was more of the same with the score tied 3 times until with 3:41 to go in the quarter Pete Benton got his 4th foul and ha to come out. The Lions were unable to regain their momentum and were unable to score in the remaining minutes of that quarter while Saranac added 10 points to their score. The Redskins took advantage of their height and grabbed down rebounds to set up their fast break widening their margin of victory to 79-65 at the final buz­ zer. Andy Joostberns turned in a fine rebounding performance gathering in 23 rebounds while adding 26 points. Doug Halsey added 15 points for the Lions and Pete Benton 13. Besides Benton’s ability to lead the Lions on the floor he was credited with 9 assists mostly to the high scoring Joostberns. Also scoring for the Lions were Ken Hansbarger with 5. Mike Hamilton, Tom Gurd, and Jeff Slocum, each with 2 points a piece. Jeff Zemke, Kevin Kilpatrick, Hal Ferguson, David Munn, Bryan Antes, and Kirby Wilmore also saw action for the Lions. Honored at halftime, were the graduating seniors playing at home for the last time. Leaving the Lion squad are Bryan Antes, Pete Benton, Hal Ferguson, Mike Hamilton, Doug Halsey, Jeff Slocum, Kirby Wilmore, and Jeff Zemke. Congratulations and thanks to these boys for their contribution to Maple Valley Basketball. Junior Varsity meets challenge! Last week's article said the final week of basketball should be interesting, and so far it has been. The Junior Varsity basketball team evened its record at 9-9 by defeating Carson City 49-43 on Tuesday, and Saranac 60-57 on Friday. In the Carson City game defense was the key to victory. Chris Beebe lead the team in scoring with 12 points. Don Fox added 11, and Jeff Mead 9. Fox and Tony Joostberns led the team with seven rebounds each. The Saranac game proved to be more interesting as Saranac lead 36-32 at halftime. Maple Valley took the lead in the third quarter and kept it throughout the game. Tony Joostberns lead the team with 24 points and 12 rebounds. Chris Beebe had 14 points, and Don Fox 8. “With one game remaining”, says Coach Ruohonen, “I would like to commend these young boys on the tremendous growth in basketball, and determination. The greatest part of my season is seeing the attitude of these young men. It has been a pleasure working with them throughout the year.” The final game of the season is at Central Montcalm on Tuesday. This game will decide between a winning or losing season, but win or lose, the basketball season has been very successful. says Maple Valley 500-Mile Club, which shows that jogging isn't just a pastime. Karen is also spiritually in­ volved as a member of the Vermontville Bible Church, where she is a substitute Sunday School teacher and a member of the church choir and orchestra. She was also a teen missionary for the child evangelism 5-day clubs last summer. Karen and her family moved to Vermontville almost eight years ago from Pentwater, MI., a small resort town near Ludington on Lake Michigan. She is the daughter of William and Martha Christensen. Bill is the principal at Maplewood Elementary School in Vermontville. She has two brothers, David. 18, and Jeff, 14. Karen’s sights are on the im­ mediate future, not too far down the road. “I plan to go to college, then either get married or get a job. I would especially like to live in Michigan, I love it here". At the moment her sights are on the upcoming syrup festival. “Shirley O’Dell (the 1977 queen) gave me a scrapbook and a rose,” smiles Karen. “I thought that was really nice. I’ve already started putting clippings in the scrapbook.” “I’m really excited (about the festival and other related ac­ tivities) and am looking forward to this entire year” Karen. “That's if my parents can afford it. My parents both went to school there, that’s where they met. If I can’t go there I’d like to go to another small liberal arts school, at least for the first year. “I’m not sure what I want to do for a career, but I’d like to do something with math, science or Spanish.” Karen is also involved in extra­ curricular activities at school. She has been a member of the school band program since 5th grade. “I play trombone, but I wanted to play cornet or flute when I started,” says Karen. “Mr. Tennereli (then the Maple Valley Band instructor) said the shape of my mouth was right for the trombone, so that’s why I play trombone today. My grandma played trombone when she was in band too.” Karen is also a member of the high school Spanish Club, was a member of the school chorus, and was a member of Powder Puff football team this year. She was cast in the school musicals in 9th and 10th grades, “Annie Get Your Gun” and “Fiddler on the Roof”. She is currently rehearsing for tire junior play, “Who Done It”, scheduled to be presented at Maple Valley High School March 16 and 17. The new queen keeps healthy and fit all year ’round by cross country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter and jogging and water skiing in the summer. Last year she became a member of the Karen has enjoyed Tip, the Christensen family dog, for 10 yea rs.

The Lions held the lead most of the contest and faltered only temporarily in the third period when the Hornet press caused Lion turnovers that put the MV behind by 5 points.

Chief Wilcox and councilman Ted Spoelstra, head of the police committee, will attend the ceremonies. Beginning March .. 5th, our local police department will again be at full strength with three officers. Various ideas were presented at the special village council meeting last Tuesday evening, to discuss police scheduling. Councilman Babcock felt the village should have all-night police patrol for fire watch and other senior citizen emergencies, even if it requires doing without daytime coverage . Though sympathetic to his concern, other council members felt they should not skimp on daytime police protection. They pointed out the need for school traffic control and merchant coverage. Several businessmen had complained last fall when the all-night, lowdaytime, plan was tried. They cited lack of coverage during business hours for bad checks, shoplifting, and possibly robbery. Councilman Hinckley stressed the importance of daytime police protection for the bank and his customers. Councilmen Mason and Spoelstra suggested that smoke detectors and the senior citizen “buddy” system might be more effective and less expensive than all-night police patrols for home fire and personal emergencies (illness). The matter was tabled until the regular Thursday night council meeting. Donald Leonard of Nashville is a patient at Leila Hospital in Battle Creek, where he had surgery last week and again yesterday.

Councilman Mason presented a new village ordiance, which was unanimously adopted, banning parking on Main Street from Sherman to Washington between 3:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. Ken Neal, of Hastings Sanitary Service, was present at the meeting to report on problems of garbage collection in the village. Discussed were measures to curtail mis-use of the service by some customers, and the possibility of increased rates in the future. Revision of the police schedule consumed much of the meeting. Differences of opinion revolved around trying to enact an equal three-man schedule, or keeping the chief primarily on the day shift. Oleson Councilman presented a 21-day rotating schedule, putting all three men on an equal basis. Tim Smith, Director of Public Services and Safety, thought the chief should be assigned mostly day shifts. Councilwoman Elliston agreed, saying that business people often come to village hall to contact the chief during normal business hours.

Her letter, it turned out, was a unique plan to solve the drinking age problem in Michigan. Last week, Gilmer introduced companion bills which implement Julie’s idea (to make it illegal\to sell alcohol for off-site consumption to anyone under the age of 20). Gilmer and Julie, a student at Hastings High School, both feel this step would reduce the present problem of alcohol abuse by minors in public schools.

At our meeting in January we decided to purchase a 15 station machine at the cost of $4,310.00 delivered and set-up. The com­ pany asked for $2,400.00 down and the rest on a 2 year contract at 13 percent. We decided that this would be the coarse to take until we seen how our raffel came out. With all the different organizations putting there money together we had the $2,400.00. Then it was brought to our attention that we might be able to borrow the money from the General Fund and not have to pay the interest. We approached the School Board on it and they voted to lend us the money. Even if they had voted against it there would not have been a problem.

Wednesday March 1. 1978 - Page 9 Driftskippers hold ACTION-ADS pig roast— YEAR ROUND TAX SERVICE Engagement announced— Senator 292594 Members of the Senate Judiciary Committee heard the representatives of various organizations in the state protest loudly this week against a proposed lobbyist regulation bill. The measure, which was the topic of a public hearing held by the Committee in the State Capitol, would require lobbyists to register and report funds spent for lobbying purposes. It would also establish stringent penalties for violators. The state’s current lobbyist law, which was enacted in 1947, already addresses these issues, but is viewed by some as weak and incomplete. Opponents of the proposed legislation which would revise the current law, however, testified against restricting lobbying activities any further, pointing out that to do so would suppress the ability of lobbyists to speak for members of organizations they represent. The bill (Senate Bill 674) is indeed a controversial one, particularly in the manner by which it would deal with recor­ ding and reporting lobbyists’ expenditures. Specifically, it would require the filing of reports every three months on en- tertainment ’ expenditures of more than $1 and gifts above $10. It? &btiia?ukl’sdriIftAi¥dai*t^,fflfe reporting of any bills lobbyists have worked to pass or defeat during that period. Penalties for violations would range from a daily $10 fine for failing to register as a lobbyist to Mr. and Mrs. Dewayne Wright, a $10,1)00 fine and maximum three-year prison term for giving of 994 Shaytown .Rd., Ver­ montville are pleased to an­ a public official an expensive gift.

Wednesday March 1, 1978 -- Page 10 * Dennis Casteele...preserver of automotive history for the enjoyment of others By— Randy Northover Vermontville is a community rich in history that dates back to the early settlers in Michigan. One of th£ village's most recent settlers is rich in historical knowledge. It's not, however, the historical background of Ver­ montville or even the history of Michigan where his vast knowledge lies. His passionate interests, -concern one of man’s most prized possessions . . . the automobile. Dennis Casteele... automotive writer, prospective author, professional race car driver, race track announcer, and automotive antique collector, is truly an automobile buff. Casteele has been living at the historical Wallace home at 310 W. Main with his wife Diane and son Scott for just over one year. Besides all his other activities, he has been recently named to the Board of Directors of the R.E. Olds Museum now being formulated in Lansing. “Lansing and the surrounding area is rich in automotive history,” says Dennis. “There are already some nice automotive things in the area like the Gilmore Museum (in Hickory Corners) and Charlton Park. We’d like to pattern the museum after the Gilmore Museum. “What a service the Gilmore Museum does for the people of the area. It’s nice, that a man would do this just for the en­ joyment of the people. With all his overhead, I’m sure he loses money. Gilmore has the set from the Disney movie, “The Gnomemobile”, which includes the back seat of a car the size of a large room with giant-sized ashtrays and all the other features. It’s an unusual collection, not large, but a very representative collection. It’s the kind of collection anyone can appreciate. The R.E. Olds Museum is scheduled to open in November 1979 in an old bus garage in Lansing. “I’m starting to talk to civic about organizations the museum,” says Dennis. “We’re Dennis shows an old antique car scrapbook to his son Scott and wife Diane. (Maple Valley News Photo) Dennis displays some of the old artifacts that he collects for his hobby. (Maple Valley News Photo) concerned about materials-now, money will come later. We are looking for any donations such as automobile parts, manuals and other old artificts. We will give people who donate items proper credit. We’re even asking for old Oldsmobiles for temporary displays. I’m willing to pay fair prices for old car parts and old car books. “We hope to create an interest in the old past,” .continued Dennis. “We’d like to make street settings and so forth for our cars’ various eras. “I would like to talk to anybody who has something io' sell. I know lots of people in. car hobbies who are willing to sell. We got lots of calls from around the country to find items for them; I go to many swap meets and often find what people are looking for; and halve sent these things anywhere in the country. Dennis and his partner Marv Townsend have their own per­ sonal collection which includes a ‘64 Thunderbird, *51 Cadillac, ‘57 Corvette, ‘64 Studebaker, and at one time a ‘23 Cadillac. They are now looking for an older car that can be used for parades etc. Dennis concentrates his efforts on old Oldsmobile manuals. “There are basically three types of collectable cars,” says Dennis. “The antique cars, which are pre-World War I; the classic cars which are a special group of cars made in the 1930’s, like the Cord, Duesenburg, and some Chryslers. These were finely built cars with cost being no factor. They featured the finest materials and workmanship. The Duesenburg sold for as much as $200,000 sometimes. Only a limited number of these cars were made, which makes them classics. “The third class of car is the special interest group. These cars were made, I would say, between 1950 and the mid ‘60’s. Our; cars fit into this category. Even the ‘65 Mustang is starting to be a collectable car. because it was the beginning of the pony cars.” Dennis worked as the automotive writer for Booth Newspapers, from the Saginaw News Department from 1968­ 1972. He then worked for Old­ smobile for four years, where he did all the writing and photography. He is now the public relations director for Lansing Utility Company. About three years ago he was hired by a Chicago-based publishing firm to write a book entitled, “80 Years of Olds”. “I’ve been working on the book for about three years and am half done. With all my other activites, it doesn’t give me much time to write.” Dennis used to race sprint cars professionally against the likes of Sammy Sessions and A.J. Foyt. He still does some racing in the summers, as well as announcing the races at Spartan Speedway. He also hopes to do some race­ track announcing at Crystal Lake Speedway. “My family is very supportive of all my various activities,” says Dennis. “My family is very supportive of all my various activities,” says Dennis. “My wife is very understanding about my interests. She is also in­ terested in antiques, our house here being her antique, and she attends the Historical Society meetings here. “I’m glad I was named to the museum board, I’m going to enjoy representing this area for the museum. We really like this area and like the people here very much. We have a real nice old house and want to call this home.” Softball & Little League Umpire Clinic All softball umpires interested in the clinic call Dennis Lamie 852-9367. Pay schedule open. Interested in volunteering to umpire Little League games to end the confusion? We hope you will attend this clinic. Hope for a baseball clinic also.

House lost in afternoon fire The Nashville Fire Department responded to a house fire at the Lynn Williams' residence on Bivens Road last Wednesday afternoon. N one was at home al the time of the fire, and the house was completely engulfed in flames when a neighbor spotted the blaze. The Nashville tanker made several return trips to town for additional water to fight the fire, and the Vermontville tanker was summoned to assist. Tanks of bottled gas exploded, adding additional fuel to the fire which started in the rear lower portion of the house. There was a total loss to the house and contents within. Fireman John Mason expressed the fire department's appreciation for the help of Nashville Police Chief Kendal Wilcox who was the first on the scene of the fire.

Earl has been hospitalized at Traverse City and is expected to be there for at least two weeks. His in­ juries required serious intestinal surgery. His wife, Blondie, is with hime and her sister, Elinor Hulbert of Vermontville, went north last week to be with her. The Nashville Site Citizens served approximately onehundred people at their recent chili supper at the Masonic temple, according to Mrs. Lester (Mary) Heacock, site supervisor.

Sponsors promised to pay the charity a certain amount of money for each hour danced by their couple. Sandy developed blisters on her feet but kept on dancing, standing in buckets of water at times to relieve the pain. Dancers were not disqualified as long as their feet continued moving. Proceeds were also raised on the sideline by goldfish-swallowing. The disc jockey for the local radio station covering the event swallowed a goldfish for every $1,00 con­ tributed. Bystanders also paid to watch Sandy’s father, Mike Hulbert, and Tad do the same. In all, a total of $35,000 was raised by the thirty-seven participating couples. All but four couples finished the dance. Tad, son of Mr. and Mrs. Tim Boucher, and Sandy each received a ten-speed bicycle as a reward, and express their thanks to all the local folks who supported them.

Several unhappy voices were heard last week in Nashville as most local property owners received notification of property tax increases for 1978 (notices of assessment value) from Castleton Township Supervisor and Assessor, Justin Cooley. Increases reported to us ranged from five to twenty per cent of the 1977 assessed valuation. Property owners wishing to protest the increases may do so on March 13th (9-12 a.m. and 1-5 p.m.) or March 14th (2-5) p.m. and 6-9 p.m.) at the Castleton Township Hall in Nashville.

A radio announcement said that because of conplaints received from the Nashville residents and police department the commissioners had assigned the problem to the Barry County Sheriff’s Depart­ ment. Hopefully, these actions will help solve the stray dog problem in Nashville. The earlier column had pointed ;ut that the county, not the village, is responsible for this duty. Lisa Corkwell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Larry Corkwell, celebrated her seventh birthday with a party February 18th, entertaining twelve of her classmates at her home. A highlight of the event was going roller skating at the Thornapple Skating Rink, before concluding the party at the Corkwell home.

Together the four toured Disney Wold and visited the Kapok Tree. The bitter cold these past several weeks has hampered the start of maple syrup production for 1978. Harold Christiansen, President of the Nashville Maple Syrup-Association, says this is about three weeks later than 1977, when the trees were tapped on February 15th.

Harold hopes that tapping can begin soon, but at this writing a definite date cannot be set, as one day of 45 degree weather is needed to start production. The Nashville Fire Department, which will be doing the tapping along with the Boy Scouts, has buckets all washed and ready to go whenever the weather breaks. Wayne Pennock, of rural Nash­ ville, did tap 400 of this 1200 trees last week, but said it was a very difficult, cold task.

IIn order for the scouts to earn their polar bear patches, they must spend 20 hours out in below freezing weather and are required to backpack one-half mile to the camping site. The boys started the chilling experience Friday afternoon and returned Sunday to thaw out. The weather was cooperative for the camping requirements as the temperature dropped below zero in the late evening. The troops taking part in the pioneering adventure were troop 177 of Nashville and troops 175 and 73 from Hastings. There were 29 scouts and leaders who participated in the weekend event. The leaders were Ron McElvey, troop 175; Arnold Eaton, troop 177; David Kellogg, troop 177; Ken Grable, troop 177; Roger Kelley, troop 73; Mike Trahan, troop 73; Chet Kramer, troop 175; District Commissioner Preston Campbell, and Horace Hull.

Wednesday March 9. 1978 -- Page 5 Michigan's steelhead streams provide some of the finest spring fishing available— Michigan’s steelhead streams have gained national recognition and currently provide some of the finest spring fishing available, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. “It’s common to see cars and motor homes from eveiy part of the country parked alongside the state’s top steelhead rivers,’’ stated Joseph Ratke, Auto Club Touring manager. “Steelheading in Michigan has become so popular that streams like the St. Joseph, Little Manistee, Au Sable, Two Hearted and others now vie with longfamous West Coast riveis for angler interest,’’ Ratke said. Fishermen planning trips during the March to June season can expect another near-record steelhead run this year, resulting from excellent natural reproduction and plantings by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). More than two million fish averaging 10 pounds are ex­ pected to make spawning runs in rivers this spring.

Auto Chib states that larger steelhead probably have been caught, mistaken for salmon and eaten. A steelhead can be identified by its all-white mouth, spotted tail, pink gill plates and side stripes. Anglers planning to make the most of the steelhead season can fish southwest Michigan in mid­ March and move north, fishing streams along the Lake Michigan coast until mid-April. Along Lake Huron, outstanding steelheading awaits anglers from mid-April through early May. From mid-April to late May, Upper Peninsula streams are best Auto Club suggests that anglers concentrate on the North Channel of the St. Clair River in Southeast Michigan in June. While most anglers swear by spawn fished either with a sinker or bobber as the most productive steelhead bait, others use artificail spawn, or even chunks of colored sponge scented with anise oil or garlic. Fly fishing for steelhead with ultra lightweight tackle and extra-long rods is a growing Michigan trend. Auto Club suggests that anglers learn all regulations applying to the rivers listed in its steelhead river guide before wetting a line. Sections of some rivers are open for fly fishing only and other parts open with general trout season April 29. The DNR warning issued last spring that Lake Michigan steelhead may contain excessive amounts of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) still applies. Anglers should eat no more than one-half pound of steelhead per week. Women of childbearing age should not eat any fish containing high PCB levels. Further information on fishing rules and PCB dangers can be found in the DNR’s 1978 Michigan Fishing Guide.

Wednesday March 9, 1978 - Page 6 Bill signed to reimburse farmers who have cattle tested for PBB Gov. William G. Milliken Friday signed HB 5811 (I.E.), which improves the reim­ bursement procedures for far­ mers who must have dairy cattle tested under Michigan’s PBB law. The bill corrects some unan­ ticipated problems encountered in implementing the law. It had been supported by the Governor in his State of the State Message. “I am very pleased to see the quick action taken by the Legislature on this important corrective and retroactive legislation,” Milliken said. The amendatory legislation increases the fee paid to farmers from $10 to $30 for each animal required to be tested under the act. The fee covers additional costs such as lost time, special care of the animal and loss of milk sales. The bill also clarifies the time period for which a farmer can receive indemnity payments for contaminated animals. The original law said an indemnity could not be paid until an animal was destroyed and buried. The new language allows payment once the animal is quarantined, branded and removed from the farm. The provision will expedite payments to the farmers. The law also will reimburse farmers for animals which die while waiting for receipt of the PBB test results or after receiving the results but while waiting for auction sales. “The Michigan Department of Agriculture is prepared to ex­ pedite payment to the farmers under these new provisions,” Milliken said. “Payments should begin to reach farmers within the next several weeks.” CARD OF THANKS Thanks to the girls at the facility and thanks for the 80 cards on my birthday from friends and relatives.

The Maple Valley Athletic Boosters were instrumental in the purchase of the machine, with donations also coming from the Boys Varsity Club, the Girls Varsity Club, and the Junior High Student Council. The entire cost of the machine is *4,310, with a balance due of under *2,000. The balance was borrowed from the school's general fund to cut down on high interest rates. The boosters made the bulk of its money from a raffle held Feb. 17. Raffled off were a half a beef, an afgan, television, and camera. Jim Sutherland from Hastings High School will give an in-service demonstration on the operation of the machine.

All three or four year old preschoolers, 2nd, 5th, and 8th Mr. Gasket Hurst Hc|ys Lakewood Accel Hurst Hooker, TO 60 graders and children referred by their dentist, are eligible for the program providing they are registered by the March 10 deadline. Parents who wish to enroll their children but who have not received registration cards may contact their area chair­ men. The fee to cover costs of clinic operation must be sub­ mitted with the registration card. Clinics will be held in five area schools: Woodland Elem., Nash­ ville - Fuller; Hastings - Nor­ theastern; Delton Elem., and Middleville McFall. The number of days scheduled for each area depends on the number of children enrolled for those areas. The procedure involves four visits to the flouride clinic and consists of tooth cleansing and application of flouride solution to tooth surfaces on the first visit. Application of flouride solution only is then repeated during the next three visits. This technique has been shown to reduce tooth decay by about 40 percent. Area chairmen are as follows: Middleville - Mrs. Mary Billings and Mrs. Linda Palmer; Hastings - Mrs. Miriam Sorby and Mrs. Linda Mast; Woodland - Mrs. Gayle Chase and Mrs. Bobbie McLeod; Nashville - Mrs. Nancy Carl and Mrs. Jill Car­ denas; Delton - Mrs. Jo Fenner and Mrs. Joan Adams.

Nashville, Wednesday March 9. 1978 -- Page 7 Log Cabins do make excellent ‘sugar shantys’ By Randy Northover Merle Martin, a Vermontville syrup producer, has a new sugar shanty and evaporator for the 1978 maple syrup season. It’s not, however, your everyday shanty...it’s a 30’ x 40’ log cabin. The new cabin was not the spure of the moment decision, it was something Merle had thought about for quite some time. “I needed a new shanty, ” said Merle. “There was so much steam in my old shanty I could hardly Wili "totkeu S **< i>> 3?**J*«ii 3?J*ii J■h**lMMjs JhlMj, Js“P lhlhi ■*• kty^ll ,‘"a MNtokli ■■■* tathta.fcH ■I to- Khaja k« IM i see in there, The evaporator was too slow also, sometimes I’d work three days in the shanty without any sleep. “I got the idea for a log cabin when I was looking through the Grand Rapids paper and saw a picture of a log house. I then decided this is what I was looking for as my shanty.” The cement flooring was done in late summer and the log cutting was started in the fall. The carpentry work is being done by Lath Williams and Merle has had a helping hand from several local people including several boys he formerly coached in 5th and 6th grade basketball. Those who have helped are Mike Prescott, Mike Fox, Danny Cook, Merle used 8-inch thick logs for Mike Hansbarger, David Cobb, the cabin with one half of the Donny McCrimmon, Ken Cowell, wood being cut down on his Steve Cowell, and Roger Webb.property.

Merle is also new one. planning to build a stone fireplace in that part of the cabin. The kitchen area will be used in the future for the snowmobile club meetings, 4-H meetings, scouts and possibly a site for other meetings. As always, Merle will take tours through his sugar bush and shanty. With the added shanty space and the better visibility, the tours should be more en­ joyable than ever. “Right now I already know of a Detroit area Boy Scout group that’s going to camp out in my sugar bush this coming season,” said Merle. ■ft* tor tot III iMtoto tMtW fell* •Wto UfflNV CAW® If, K®*^ itoHto**1? 5§ «0' Within a very short time Merle will be inviting groups of tourists into his new log cabin, which will serve as his sugar shanty, for the upcoming maple syrup season.

Last year statewide the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic men’s fraternal society, collected $497,304 in the three-day weekend Locally $1479 was collected and donated to Barry County Association for Retarded Citizens.

The State Council recently donated $35,000 to the State Association for Mentally Retarded Citizens to aid the organization’s citizen advocacy volunteer program. Other gifts also are being considered. State Deputy Julian F. Joseph of Allen - Park, the highest ranking elected K of C official in Michigan, said there are over 265,000 mentally retarded citizens in Michigan. He said contributions from the public in the March 17,18, 19 drive will go toward lessening the handicaps of the mentally retarded through training and professional assistance. ‘‘The Donations to local organizations in the first two years of the program by Knights of Columbus councils in behalf of their contributors proved to be a gratifying experience for our members who are asked to practice Christian charity as a principle of their membership in the Knights of Columbus,” Joseph said. “We are looking forward to even greater par- con’t page 10 �The Maple Volley News.

Corkwell, Nashville Village Clerk Village of Vermontville PURPOSED MUNICIPAL WATER TREATMENT PROGRAM This letter concerns the use of Aquadene conditioner a water treatment method and chlorine, to improve the water delivery from the local wells. It also itemizes initial cost of equipment and yearly cost of Aquadene thereafter. Plans and specifications were recommended by Elhorn Engineering Co. of Lansing to induce the product "Aquadene" into the water from the wells. This will actively loosen the rust and scale so that hydrant flushing will remove these solids from the system. The "Aquadene" chemical is harmless, tasteless, and odorless, and will not effect the potability of the water in any way, yet will prevent the problem of rusty water and the restriction of service lines. Cost of Equipment for both wells, i including installation, flushing services, and one year guarantee on all parts and labor: $2,715.95 (Life expectancy of equipment—20 years or longer.) Annual Aquadene requirements will cost: between $700.00 & 900.00. Elhorn Engineering Co. will provide after system cleanup, delivered water which will be,.equal to that which leaves the well heads, plus the Aquadene and chlorine additives. Should the Aquadene treatment not perform within 90 days as stated, all equipment and unused chemical may be returned to Elhorn Engineerinq Co. for full refund. This issue will be on the March 13, Village Election Ballot, as an advisory Idem. If there are any questions concerning the water Treatment Program call or stop in and see me.

Also, they note that those caught stay off the streets longer before they return. Opponents, on the other hand, say the actual result of longer sentences is fewer convictions, not because drug crime drops, but because convictions are harder to' get. Juries, with a little bit of doubt, opponents point out, Will convict for a five-year sentence, but hesitate when it comes to twenty. Thus, prosecutors, knowing this, do not charge the major crime. Furthermore, when an opportunity does arise to convict a major dealer, witnesses disap­ pear or forget since the dealer will often risk murder or bribery charges because his present risk is already so high. The cost arguments hinge around these same questions. Would it cost the state $60 million a year to keep the extra prisoners, or would there ac­ tually be no more prisoners? Here’s where I stood on this stiffer sentencing issue: I voted for the stiffer sentences measure, -without great conviction, however, -not because I’m sure it will help, but on the theory that it’s worth a try. The arguments for doing away with parole and “time off for good behavior” were similar­ scare potential criminals out of the business and keep them locked up longer when they’re caught. In this case, the antis won my vote, primarily because I represent the Jackson prison area which includes a good many guards and other prison officials and workers. “Good time” and parole are prison control and rehabilitations tools. If all sentences were the same, regardless of prisoner behavior (short of actual crime in the prison), there would be much less incentive for prisoners to behave properly, learn a trade, etc. All of the measurers in the Rosenbaum package have passed the Senate, except the “wiretapping or eavesdropping” bills. I was part of the two to one majority voting “no” on these latter bills. The argument for giving all local police agencies wiretapping equipment and authority was, of course, that more drug dealers could be apprehended and con­ victed. The other side argued, however, that when a local sheriffs’ office finds evidence of a major dealer, they should call in the federal narcotics people who have more expertise and who already have wiretapping authority. While the expressed fear of the “1964” controlled society (where everyones* homes are bugged) is an obvious scare tactic, there certainly has been sufficient evidence presented to raise questions about making wiretapping equipment, developing adequate expertise to use it, and granting government agencies at all levels widespread wiretapping authority, to make me oppose these bills.

Lamie — 852-9367 DNR developing program to protect wetlands LANSING - The Department of Natural Resources is developing a program to protect the state’s wetlands. Wetlands can be lakes, bogs, marshes, swamps, wet meadows or floodplain areas. Don Inman, a DNR en­ vironmental specialist, explains that the St. John’s Marsh in St Clair County is one of the largest Great Lakes wetlands in southeastern Michigan. “The Dead Stream Swamp is an example of a large wetland composed mostly of cedar trees! near Houghton Lake in near Houghton Lake in Missaukee and Roscommon “By counties,” he says. y itss simplest definition, a wetland is land land that that is is wet wet all all ,or or most most of of the the time.”” time. Inman, along with representatives from from seven seven other other DNR DNR tatives divisions, was appointed to the DNR’s Wetlands Team last year by DNR Director Howard A. Tanner. The team chairman is Fred Clinton of the Department’s Land Resource Programs Division. Tanner’s principal charge to the team was to explore and t develop innovative measures.to enhance the department department’s’s wetlands programs, to formulate methods to improve the administration of these programs, and to serve in an advisory capacity for decisions concerning Michigan’s wetlands resources. Inman says the team has just completed a draft policy on wetlands protection^ “The policy will be going to the Natural Resources Commission in a month or so,” he says. “Basically/ it outlines a protective stance for wetlands areas.” In addition, Inman says, the team is working on proposals for specific wetland areas in the state and is developing a tape brochure and slide presentation on wetlands that will be made available to interested groups and to the public within the next three months. Wetlands are very changeable environments and may not always be wet.. “The important thing,” Inman says, “is that they are wet often enough to support aquatic vegetation and aquatic life that require saturated or seasonally saturated sos saurae soils too connue continue too grow and reproduce. It is this sometimes wet and sometimes dry cycle that make wetlands valuable. lbl” Wetlands are very productive natural areas. Their productivity can equal that of a modem agricultural field with good soil that is intensively managed with fertilizers and plowing. “Many wetlands are productive without intensive management,” he points out. “They produce fish and wildlife for our use and enjoyment. For example, it is estimated that the major Great Lakes wetlands contribute close to 32,000 ducks and over 1.8 million pounds of commercial fish to the average annual production. Some woody wetlands (swamps) can produce extensive amounts of wood and fiber. Other wetlands may be used for berry production, such as cranberries. Besides the products we can enjoy and use from wetlands, Inman says wetlands serve us in pollution. They serve as a natural buffer between waters laden with impurities coming from uplands and the waters of this state, which the DNR wishes to keep clean. - As groundwater recharge areas, some wetlands act to replenish and purify the groundwater supply. All these roles played by wetlands are the “free work” of a natural system, Inman says. Without the presence of wetlands we would have to either pay to artificially perform these roles through construction of storm storm-­ water retention pondss or wastewater treatment plants, or suffer the consequences of polluted polluted water, water, storm storm and and flood flood damage. “Experts have assessed this ““free work” value of of salt water water wetlands at $86,000 per acre,” Inman says. “Our Our fresh fresh water water wetlands may not be much less than this. Unfortunately,, more and more wetlands are disap­ pearing and the costs are inin­ creasing.” With the use of old maps and records, Inman says it has been shown that about 40 percent of the wetlands wetlands in in the the lower lower 48 48 states states have been destroyed since the appearance of the white man. man “Historically in Michigan,” he points out, “Little Bay De Noc, the Les Cheneaux Islands, Saginaw BAy, Lake St. Clair and the Detroit River-Lake Erie complex had 70,125 acres of coastal wetlands. Now only 28,500 acres remain. Wetlands are being lost in the inland areas of Michigan too, as well as along our Great Lakes.” Because wetlands and their values are often unknown to the citizen and are private sometimes viewed as wasteland, many wetlands have been indiscriminately filled for industry or housing or used merely as Some waste receptacles.. wetlandss are drained for agricultural production or dredged for marinas. “Unforunately, wetlands are often located between water bodies and land, prime areas for second homes or cabins, commercial harbors or industry dependent upon water transportation,” he says. At the federal level, President Carter e hass issued ssue a pocy policy directive to all federal agencies calling for protection of wetlands. The President also directed that no federal funds be expended on projects that directly or indirectly destroy wetlands unless no prudent alternative exists. In addition, the Corps of Engineers, under Section 404 of the Rivers, and Harbors Act of t 1899, has been extended the responsibility, due to a recent court case, of wetlands management near navigable waterways. Unfortunately the 404 program, as it is sometimes called, does not regulate all wetlands, Inman says. The Inland Lakes and Streams Act (Act 346 of 1972) was passed to regulate activities in and adjacent to the waters of the state. Act 247 of 1955 regualtes activities along the Great Lakes. Some wetlands can be protected by these two laws but only those that lie below the ordinary high water mark adjacent tyo a glake or stream, he the following ways: -- As floodwater retention areas, wetlands trap excess water from rainss or rivers, reducing the extent of high waters. They act as a waterr regulator often reducing flood damage to man-made structures. Other wetlands along large lakes buffer the shore against damaging storms.. - As filters and purifiers of water, wetlands have the unique ability to trap and hold sediments and nutrients that would otherwise find their way into lakes and streams and cause points out. Some of our wetlands are not along lakes or streams and many wetlands often occur above the ordinary high water mark. Michigan’s Environmental Protection Act (Act 127 of 1972) iss landmark legislation designed to prevent pollution, impairment or destruction of air, water and other natural resources unless no other feasible, prudent alter­ native exists. The DNR, Inman says, often uses this law in conjunction with other statutes to prevent pollution. ““Yet Yet the Environmental Protection Act applies to so many other natural resources, in­ cluding wetlands, and requires court proceedings that can be costly and lengthy, that a wetlands protection program based solely on it would be unwieldly and inefficient. What is needed is a proper management "program for wetlands. A program that inventories Michigan wetlands, prioritizes their values and calls for regulation of their use through public agencies,” Inman says. “Starting this month we will begin working with the federal government on a National Wetlands Inventory. By 1981, most of the state will be sur­ veyed. This is a first step in setting up a land use plan for wetlands. “This inventory of wetlands, an educated public, and proper legislation will help insure that wetlands will be managed to prevent further loss of an im­ portant natural resource for the people of Michigan now and for future generations,” Inman says.

In data jointly compiled with U.S.D.A.’s Economics, Statistics, and Cooperatives Service Farmer’s 1977 cash receipts were 3 percent above last year’s previous record high of $1.70 billion for farm product sales. Even though total cash receipts for 1977 finished above 1976, cash receipts ran behind the 1976 levels for 6 of the first 8 months in 1977. By the end of August, the turning point had been reached. Subsequent months saw 1977 levels rise well above those of 1976, being capped by a 28 per­ cent increase in December. Crops contributed $940 million to farmers’ coffers while livestock and livestock products returned a record high $820 million in 1977; This gave crops 53 percent of the total cash receipts LaLeche league to meet March 16 and livestock 47 percent. It also continues a 5 year trend with crops bringing in more money to Michigan farms than livestock. Prices received by farmers varied by commodity, but most were consistently lower than those received in 1976. Lower grain prices were offset by higher p prices for hay, y, p potatoes,, calves, s, turkeys, and wool, but only hay and wool prices were higher throughout 1977. Increased production in 1977 was sufficient however, to boost the total cash receipts above previous years’ levels. Action Ads INCOME TAX SERVICE: Phone for appointment 517-726-1254 Vermontville.

Here are some of the more recent ones. Q. What’s the story on sac­ charin these days? A: After February 21, 1978, food products containing sac­ charin must carry a warning on the label that all foods containing the artificial sweetener could cause cancer. The warning states...“use of this product may be hazardous to your health. This product contains saccharin, which has been determined to cause cancer in laboratory animals.” The new law applies to product “still owned by the manufac­ turer”. Products already on retail store shelves and in distribution channels...if they no longer legally are the property of the manufacturer...need not carry the warning. It could be months before all foods con­ taining saccharin (that are now owned by brokers and retailers) are cleared from marketing channels. Everything processed and shipped after February 21, 1978, will have to carry the warning. In addition, retailers selling products containing saccharin, will have to post three signs in their stores that state that use of products might be hazardous to anyone consuming them. The signs must be “at least 11 by 14 inches” in size. Q: When buying grapefruit, how do you know they’re ripe and ready to eat? A: State laws set the maturity level at which grapefruit can be picked and shipped. Maturity, judged on the basis of juice, sugar and acid content, indicate that the fruit is ready to eat. No unripe grapefruit is allowed on the market. Q: Are coupons really one of the best ways to save money at the store or am I wasting my time? I hate clipping them. A: You and other shoppers combined to redeem more than three billion coupons last year, ranging in value from five cents to $1.00. They are good value, IF you can use the particular product couponed, but you have to be selective. You didn’t sign your letter, but I’d guess you were a woman (80 percent who redeem coupons are) and that you’re under 50 years of age. Three out of four coupon cashers are under 50. From all studies conducted, you and your fellow couponcashers appear to be generally “sharper shoppers” too. Coupon cashers appear to be more likely to use freshness open dating and unit price information more often than non-coupon cashers. You’re also more likely to carry a list and twice as likely to use a calculator than the all-shopper average. Q: I’m a man who loves grocery shopping and I’ve always felt alone until recently. Are more men doing the grocery shopping now or is it just my imagination? A: You’re not imagining things. Men are not only making their way into kitchens more often, they’re also showing up in supermarkets in increasing numbers. It’s estimated that over 10 million men now make the final buying decisions for food and household products. Surveys show that men make more frequent trips to the store than women, they tend to be more economical, are more cautious, are careful label readers and show more “brand” loyalty than women. But that’s just fot* those men that do the major food shopping and make the major decisions. Beware if your husband goes to the store with you only “once in a blue.moon”. In which case, he’ll be the first to pick up a can of, smoked oysters, the most ex­ pensive goodie he can find in the snack line etc. It’s also rumored that if your husband, a friend and-or the children shop with you, your food bill will jump by five to twenty percent. Michigan fruit production is up sharply, still Iow­ all FRUIT: Michigan’s 1977 fruit production increased 28 percent over 1976, but was still below 1975 output, according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. All fruit crops com­ bined, totaled 468,050 tons of fruit compared to 364,700 tons in 1976 and 618,000 tons in 1975. Early spring weather was generally warm with above normal temperatures. Due to the above normal temperatures, bud development was advanced by two or three weeks. Cold, freezing temperatures in late April and early May caused damage and reduced fruit prospects. Cherries, grapes and peaches appeared to be hard-hit May weather was about normal for Michigan. Early summer weather was warm and sunny with very little rainfall. Hot dry weather in July, caused some moisture stress, but rains came at the right time of year to prevent most moisture stress. Weather prior to harvest allowed good sizing of apples and grapes, which made up for some of the frost damage. Wet, cool weather slowed picking of apples in September. APPLES: Michigan’s apple crop is estimated at 540 million pounds, up over 12 percent from last year’s crop of 480 million pounds. Jonathans continued to be the State’s leading variety followed by McIntosh, Northern Spy, and Red Delicious. These four varieties accounted for over 70 percent of the apples grown in Michigan in 1977. All varieties except Red Delicious and Stayman increased production this year. Spring frosts were responsible for reducing the size of the Red Delicious.

Wednesday March 15. 1978 -- Poge 2 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley Sorry to report that three of the items we had submitted for publication last week were omitted from the column when it was printed. Seems the Reminder staff has a key person on vacation and the others were very rushed, causing the errors and omissions. We hope our Nashville readers will un­ derstand that they were not purposely neglected. One of the items left out was the 58th Wedding Anniversary, March 13th, of Mr. and Mrs. Byron Cluckey of rural Nashville. They celebrated the occasion quietly by enjoying dinner at their son’s home. Mrs. Gloria Johncock of Nash­ ville is"now home and doing somewhat better after suffering a severe case of the shingles, though she is still in some pain. She had received treatment at Blodgett Hospital earlier. Also missing from our column was condolences to the family of Mrs. Chester (Mabie) Johncock of Hastings, who passed away while wintering in Florida. Mrs. Johncock was the aunt of Ed Johncock of Nashville. Nashville has taken on a dim look lately as merchants have begun cutting back on lighting to save electricity during the coal shortage. Even the daytime appearance of our village has been noticeably altered with several stores turning off outside lights and alternating rows of interior overhead fixtures. Several Main Street businesses and others, including Carl’s Market on Reed Street, are participating in the voluntary conservation program: Village residents are also helping during the emergency as they become more aware of the energy shortage and reduce unnecessary power usage in their homes. A utility pole that has been hit countless times in the past few years was the target again on March 4th when it was struck by another auto. The ill-fated pole is at the intersection of Main and Pearl Street on the south M-66 curve. Often hit by non-local drivers who are unfamiliar with the road, it is also a hazard to local drivers when the road is in a slippery condition. The accident Saturday night, in which the northbound auto even scaled a high snowbank to reach the pole, resulted in a cut lip for a passenger in the car. The auto had to be towed away. Mrs. Elizabeth Curtis recently returned to her Nashville home after spending some time with her son, recuperating from a serious bout of the flu. Mrs. Curtis had been hospitalized in January with penumonia. She is feeling much better and hopes to be able to get out more when the weather warms up some. Also returning to her home recently was Mrs. Elsie Cogswell. She had also suffered complications from the flu.

The return trip was also troublesome in Kentucky where there are still mountains of snow to contend with and the roads are deteriorating from the harsh winter. Bud and Bea Gillaspie, who are familiar to many readers as the leaders of Bud’s Duds Square Dance Club, have recently moved to this area from their home in Sunfield. They are now living at their new campground, The Ponderosa, soon to be opened. It is located north of Mac’s Grocery, on Ionia Road. Mrs. George (Marguerite) Wilson has a most unusual Christmas cactus in blossom now. The colorful plant, which is over one hundred years old, measured four and one-half feet by three and one-half feet across the top. It completely fills one bay window of her State Street home. Wooden props have become necessary to bolster the heavy branches of the plant, on which there is presently more than a hundred blossoms. The Women’s Literary Club will meet tomorrow evening, Wednesday, March 15th at the Fuller Street School in the all purpose room at 7:30 p.m. Darlene’s Studio of Dance and Acrobatics from Hastings will provide the entertainment with several local youngsters per­ forming. Mrs. Morris (Nita) Brown is chairman of the tea committee for the month. Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Graham recently returned from a fourweek trip to Florida. On the way down they visited Mrs. Graham’s sisters in dayton, Ohio. While in Florida, they had the opportunity to visit Dr. R. E. White, a former Nashville resident now living at Lake Panasoffkee. Friends of Dr. White will be sorry to hear that he was to have eye surgery for cataracts on February 22nd. The Grahams spent most of their stay in Florida at Ruskin, on the Little Manatee River." They report the weather was variable, but they did have some beautiful 80 degree days. On the return trip home, they stopped to visit their son, Raymond, and his family at Manassas, Virginia. The Nashville Site Goodies Baskets *®rass •Toys weeks visit to Florida was Mrs. Gale Keihl of Nashville. She was accompanied on the trip by her sister-in-law, Mrs. Robert Bock of Ann Arbor. On the way to Florida they ran into a heavy blizzard that hit southern Indiana and Kentucky in January. Mrs. Keihl reports that it took them five days to reach Clearwater Beach, where the weather was cold for this time of year. However, they were able to get Senior Citizens enjoyed a special dinner last Tuesday evening at the TickTock Restaurant in Hastings. They were joined by members of the Hastings and Woodland Senior Citizen Site groups for the occasion. Mrs. Esther Appleman has also been recently ill with a serious cold, but was able to get Out again last week. She is feeling quite improved now. The Larry Poll Realty Com­ pany of Hastings has reopened their Nashville branch office on Main Street, next to the Hecker Insurance Agency. Staffing the real estate sales office will be Dennis Smith of Nashville, who is also affiliated with the Hecker Agency as the Life arid Health Insurance Agent. Mrs. Hilda Baas is now home after her serious auto accident that happened near Ann Arbor in January. She and two friends were on their way to Florida when the mishap' occurred. Mrs. Baas is still having dental work done due to injuries suffered in the accident and must have new glasses. There was a long delay in repairing her auto due to difficulty in obtaining parts for such a recent model car. Three young Nashville men now serving with the U. S. Army at Ft. Gulick in the Panama Canal Zone regularly received the Maple Valley News. They are Douglas Knoll, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Knoll; Terry Knoll, son of Mrs. and Mrs. Francis Knoll; and Allen Easey, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Dean. The boys are all Medical Specialists, trained in administering first aid on the field during combatt and evacuating injured troops.

In their-spare time the boys enjoy scuba diving and watching the unusual wildlife encountered on jungle training maneuvers. Doug recently captured a live octopus. The boys are all playing softball now in 90 degree weather. The rainy season will begin in June and last throughout the summer months, a most uncomfortable time with daily rainfall and high humidity. We send greetings to these young men from all the folks here in Nashville. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Hamilton recently returned from two weeks in Florida where they visited Mrs. Hamilton’s cousin at Brooksville. Two requests will come before the Nashville Zoning Board of Appeals Thursday evening, March 16th, at a 7:00 p.m. public meeting at the village hall.

Mrs. Blake reports that Earl stood the trip by auto quite well, but will have to spend some time recuperating. Earl’s injuries required serious intestinal surgery. Additional problems faced the Blakes upon their return home when they found their lines frozen. Mrs. Blake had been north with Earl since his hospitalization. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce met at the Steakhouse Restaurant last Wednesday evening for dinner, with 22 members present.

Tim Smith, Director of Public Services and Safety, reports that the new street signs banning parking between the hours of 3:00 and 5:00 a.m. have been installed on Main Street. The portion of Main Street involved lies between Washington Street on the north and Sherman Street on the south. The parking ban was approved by the village council in an or­ dinance passed on February 23rd. At their March 1st meeting, the Riverside Recreational Development Corp, decided to have a Harvest Festival Queen, elected by community residents with “penny” votes. Each queen candidate must be sponsored either by a business or individual. George Frith will act as chair­ man for the contest. The Harvest Festival is set for October 6, 7, and 8th. The bowling team sponsored by Larry’s Fargo Service Station in Nashville participated in the men’s state bowling tournament last weekend in Ann Arbor.

The McMillens went on to the Keys where they visited Al and Rose Smith, former Nashville residents, at Key Largo. They also stopped to see Mr. and Mrs. Henry Senrau at Oklawaha. On the return trip home, the Mc­ Millens visited at the home of their son, Charles, in Murray, Kentucky. Charles and his wife, the former Janet Marshall, are both NHS graduates.

The McMillens made the Florida trip in their motor home and were ac­ companied part of the way by two other couples, also in motor homes. Several members of Brownie Troop 730 attended the village council meeting last Thursday to hear President Frith read a proclamation designating March 12th through 18th as Girl Scout Week in Nashville. Last Thursday was the final council meeting conducted by outgoing village President George Frith. Several interesting issues were discussed and acted upon. Tim Smith, Director of Public Services and Safety, presented the new 1978-79 budget which was adopted by the council. Total operational costs for the village, including general government, police, fire board, parks, sanitation, library, sewer, water and streets is $428,908. In related action the council raised the monthly garbage service rate from$3.00 to $3.50 per month, because revenues in this area no longer meet refuse collection expense. Councilman Oleson reported on a meeting he and Councilwomen Elliston had attended with the Castleton Township Board relative to village use of the township hall for meetings, the clerk’s office, and voting machines for village elections. No definite action will be taken until after the April 1st annual township meeting. Lonny Kienutske, a member of the audience, expressed his concern about the safety of school children due to the many snow clogged sidewalks in town. Mounds of snow at the in­ tersections also create a hazard as the children must walk in the streets. The council agreed and urged all village residents to clear their walks to eliminate this dangerous situation. The council accepted with regrets the resignation of Mrs. Bessie Smith from the Putnam Library Board. A replacement was not immediately named. Councilman Mason proposed a 42-day rotating police schedule which would allow the chief to work a day shift. A 21-day rotating schedule by Councilman Oleson had been adopted two weeks earlier by a 3 to 2 vote. It put all three officers on a equal basis, with the chief working only b days of every 21 shifts. Although Oleson’s plan had received support because of its’ simplicity, several council members and Tim Smith, Director of Public Services and Safety, had expressed opinions that the chief should be on a primarily day shift. President Frith suggested the entire matter be tabled to allow the new president and council to make the final decision when they take over on March 23rd. Councilman Oleson reported on a Fire Board meeting he and Councilman Spoelstra had attended. He related the fire department's concern about new state regulations that will soon effect their operation, due to governmental controls on equipment and training requirements. The council ex­ pressed fear these new rules would be so costly they would hamper our fire and ambulance service and eventually jeopar­ dize the volunteer status of our department. Oleson felt the public should be made aware of the potential problems to be faced by the community. Among issues covered in Tim Smith’s report to council was an update on the proposed sewer project, a program for planting new trees, and removal of stumps in the village. President Frith closed the meeting by thanking all who had served under him and expressed his feeling that the village was now in good shape with an ef­ ficient DPW crew and a threeman police force. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce wishes to extend the community’s welcome to the two dentists who have assumed the practice of Dr. Morris Brown, who recently retired. They are Dr. William Rupp, whose practice is in Allegan, and Dr. E. K. Phares, whose practice in is Hamilton. Mrs. Gary (Kathy) Nickel has been employed as their new receptionist. Condolences are extended to Mrs. Bertha Becker of Nashville in the death of her great­ granddaughter, Sally Chesebro, the six-year-old girl accidently drowned at her Battle Creek home last Thursday.

This is a 6 percent decrease from the number of workers a year ago. Compared to the mid-October work force this is a decline of 28 percent. Farm operators and unpaid family members working 15 hours or more accounted for 76 percent of the total with 55,000 workers. Field and livestock workers accounted for 65 percent of the 17,000 hired workers. On United States farms the total work force, during the survey week of January 8-14, 1978, was estimated at 2,999,500 workers a 7 percent decrease from the previous year. Farm operators plus unpaid family members working 15 hours or more numbered 2,235,200, while hired labor accounted for 764,300 workers. Field and livestock workers were 71 percent of the total hired labor force. 14, HOURS WORKED The average number of hours worked by farm operators and family members declined from last year’s figures, while hours of hired workers increased. In Michigan, farm operators averaged 23.3 hours of work for the survey week compared to 25.2 hours a year earlier. Hired workers averaged nearly 3 more hours of work for the week than they averaged last January. The rise was from 33.1 hours to 35.8 hours in 1978. FARM WAGE RATES IN­ CREASING In Michigan, wage rates for all methods of pay converted to an hourly rate averaged $3.11 per hour. Last January the average was $2.92 per hour.

(Mapl* Vall*y New. photo) Corn and soybeans set record highs More com and soybeans were produced in Michigan last year than in any previous year in history. Total grain corn production was 191 million bushels, up 24 percent from the previous year. The soybean crop at 20.9 million bushels, was 80 percent larger than the previous crop. However, dry weather during the spring and early summer limited the 1977 hay crop to 2.9 million tons, 7 percent less than the previous year and 14 percent below 1975 production. Dry bean production, 5.5 million hundredweight (cwt.), was one percent larger than in 1976. The sugarbeet crop, 1.8 million tons, was up 17 percent from the previous year. Potato production, 10.2 million cwt., was 6 percent above 1976. Total production of Michigan’s 10 major field crops in 1977 was 18.2 million tons, 12 percent larger than the 1976 total. This production was harvested from 6,498,300 acres in 1977, an in­ crease of 13,300 acres from the prior year. Warm, dry weather last spring permitted unusually early planting of com and other crops. However, a shortage of soil moisture in the spring and early summer limited germination and early growth. First cutting yields of hay were very light. Early June rains furnished enough moisture to produce good yields of wheat, oats and barley. Ad­ ditional rains at the end of June and early July helped com and soybeans. Heavy rainfall, when many dry bean fields were ready to harvest, caused a serious loss of beans and continued wet weather through late fall forced growers to abandon a con­ siderable acreage. However, the August and early September rains helped to produce record Continued on next col. It’s like having the luck of the Irish!

A record high yield per acre of 85 bushels caused most of the in­ crease. Harvested acres were up only one percent. The corn silage crop of 5,125,000 tons was 6 percent larger than 1976. DRY BEANS: A crop of 5,520,000 cwt. was produced last year, only one percent larger than the 1976 crop. The average yield was 1,150 pounds compared with 1,000 pounds the year before. Only 480,000 acres were har­ vested, 65,000 fewer acres than in 1976. Wet soils prevented harvest of considerable acreage. SOYBEANS: Soybean production soared to 20,880,000 bushels, 80 percent more than produced in 1976. A 27 percent increase in harvested acres along with a record high 29.0 bushel yield resulted in a large crop. SUGARBEETS: The 1977 crop of 1,796,000 tons was 17 percent larger than the year before.

Almost everyone under 30 spoke passionately for legalization of marijuana, decrying the law as just another example of the older generation’s repressive, military-like in­ sistence on control of individual lives. Those over 30, on the other Legalization or hand, denounced marijuana as a decriminalization of the use of symbol of the moral decay and decadence of youth. First marijuana is such an issue. During the late 60’s, this was a marijuana, then heroin, and then flaming topic on which almost the end of civilized society. A politician just couldn’t speak everyone was highly opinionated. Support or opposition on this to a Rotary Club or a high school issue was heavily divided government class without being primarily on the basis of age, grilled about his stand on this Some issues rise and wane, starting out and remaining hotly emotional for a period of time, then fading to a low level of public concern. Sometimes the Legislature acts during the heat, but more often the issue is ducked at that time— often to rise quietly to the surface for action later on when public attention is focused in other directions. It will be your Lucky Day when you get a New Spring Hairstyle at Irene's Irene's Beauty Shop 204 W. Main St. Phone 852-9107 question. Most chose the traditional political survival technique:: a slightly different speech for each age group, and an avoidance of exposure on the dichotomy simply by shunning a vote on the subject. Ten years later, however, the heat has gone out of the debate Those who are 30 are now 40, apparently still smoking an occassional “joint”—almost more out of nostalgia then necessity—and cutting into the age group of the former op­ ponents. While the older generation, for the most part, has not decided to experiment a little, they have mellowed in their attitude. The war between the generations has dropped from the level of a whitehot conflict to a traditional skim mish. Many have fearfully smelled a little funny smoke on children or grandchildren, but are now happily surprised to find that these wicked wayward youth have graduated to mortgages and diapers rather than heroin. The new young people, aged. 18 to 28, smoke marijuana in about the same numbers as the previous group. But they seem to have lost the feeling that it’s an act of political defiance. The local cops largely ignore it and it’s widely available, so why make a big fuss of it? The newspapers, out of touch or a little behind (like us politicians), treat it like a hot issue. But the people don’t. A bill greatly lowering penalties is now on our Senate calendar. But, I haven’t had enough letters to even design the traditional “over-30” and “un­ der-30” form letters.

The students wrote a pen pal letter, addressing the envelope to Elementary School, Fifth Grade student. They waited anxiously for answering letters. Over two-thirds of the students received a reply.

Apparently the dampness from a rainfall during the night was the cause of the problem. So nice to have the weather warm up some and look a little more like spring, which officially began yesterday.

STREET —NASHVI LLE Farm parity session scheduled during MSU’s ‘Farmer’s Week Issues relating to parity, for farm products will be discussed in a special session during Michigan State University’s Farmers’ Week, March 20-24. The program, open to "the public, will run from 9:30 a.m. to noon, Friday. “Participants will be provided information that will help them understand the effects of higher parity support on the agricultural sector as a whole,” says Dr. Gordon Guyer, director of the MSU Cooperative Ex­ tension Service, who will chair the program. “The session is intended as an educational seminar for those concerned about current parity programs.” Topics include: parity and the outlook for agricultural production and prices; production costs and commodity pricing; international markets and parity prices; weather trends and agricultural production. Speakers are Dr. John Ferris, Dr. Rby Black, Dr. Vernon Sorenson, MSU agricultural economists; and Dr. James Newman, climatologist from Purdue University. In his discussion of exports, Sorenson will point out that more than 20 percent of U.S. farm production is being sent to foreign -markets (approaching $24 billion in 1977) compared to about 16 percent in the early 1960s. Present U.S. farm legislation with loan rates below target prices was designed to provide a measure of income protection for farmers while at the same time permitting market -prices to reach a level that would not hinder the U.S. ability to compete in world markets. The question that arises is, how well this is working for farmers. Maintaining this competitive position is particularly important for grains and oil-seeds, because the U.S. is the world’s major export supplier. Sorenson will discuss the options to full parity status. Newman will take a look at the climatic changes occurring in the Midwest during the last 100 years and the practical applications farmers have for coping with weather extremes. These cropping options will be tied to the effect production may have on parity supports. Black and Ferris will explain the principles of parity, how it was started in the mid-1980s to aid farmers and how the current parity program is functioning in today’s agricultural technology. They will outline alternatives to the current program and the effect they may have on present and future farm markets. This article was furnished by the Barry County Cooperative Extension Service.

Mrs. Bessie Decker was hospitalized at Pennock last week and it is expected she will be at the Barry County Medical Care Facility, at least temporarily, following her release from the hospital. Various opinions were ex­ pressed at the Nashville Zoning Board of Appeals meeting last Thursday evening at village hall. Douglas Ayles had sought a variance to allow him to convert the former Staup Barber Shop at 230 N. Main from commercial to residential use. Mr. Ayles said three commercial ventures had turned the building down in the past three months due to its’ unusual narrowness (interior measurements are 8’ by 50’). The majority of the audience that expressed opinions were generally, in disagreement with Mr. Ayles. Russ Furlong and Bill Hecker presented the stand of the Business Owners Association that the main level of Main Street should remain commercial, as their goal is to restore the greatest amount of retail business possible to Main Street and to secure more varied en­ terprises. They felt that in time an appropriate commercial use could be found for the building. Mr. Ayles claimed he wanted to rent the building as a single person, senior citizen dwelling. Some present felt that if the village attorney ruled this legal under the current zoning law, itt would have to be limited to the “life of the building" or “only until a commercial use could be found". Most feared setting a precedent in granting such a variance. The other request to come before the board was from Norbert Polus, local realtor and auctioneer, seeking a special use permit to hold indoor auctions at his office located at 234 N. Main St. There was almost no audience opposition to this except for one question regarding the parking and loading facilities during auctions. The Board’s decision will be announced later.

The Nashville Fire Department responded to a reported house fire at the Hubert Decker resident on S. Clark Road last Friday afternoon. The fire, presumed to have been started by an electric blanket on a bed, was contained in an upper story bedroom. Police Chief Wilcox arrived at the house a couple minutes before the fire trucks and with, his chemical fire ex­ tinguisher was able to put out enough of the fire so that only a small amount of water was needed to finish it. The firemen threw the bedding from the window and damage to the room was mainly from smoke. The window and sill near the bed was burned. The fire department was on the scene about 45 minutes. A serious traffic hazard was created last Friday evening when a semi-truck turning into the Kienutske warehouse near the corner of Casgrove and M-66 clipped the telephone lines and snapped off a utility pole, lowering phone and electrical lines to a dangerous level. Nash­ ville officer Gene Koetje and the Barry County Sheriff’s Department remained on the scene several hours directing traffic until the utility companies arrived to make repairs; CROP raises $9.8 million in it’s 30th anniversary year ‘77­ In its 30th anniversary year, . CROP, the community hunger appeai of Church World Service, rraised nearly $4.8 million in cash and commodity gifts to aid the world’s hungry, while continuing to t expand its commitment to educating the American public about the root causes of hunger and poverty. Gifts valued at more than $4.7 million, received through the CWS Clothing Appeal, which CROP administers, brought the agency’s 1977 total income to $9,787,659. CROP began as a program involving Midwestern people collecting grain and other food products to ship to help the victims of the war in Europe. Now it works from coast to coast to also enlist city-dwellers and suburbanites in hunger walks and 30-hour fasts among a wide variety of events. Proceeds from the projects are utilized in more than 30 countries to support self­ help development programs to improve agriculture, water resources and. vocational op­ portunities, and provide shortterm emergency assistance in time of disaster. Although approximately 75 percent of the funds generated in CROP hunger events ultimately are channeled through Church World Service, a significant amount, nearly $800,000 in 1977, is earmarked for other hunger­ development agencies by donors opting - to exercise a special designation privilege. Communities. sometimes choose to retain up to 25 percent of the proceeds from their CROP project to be used locally in food pantries, Meals on Wheels, and similar programs aimed at helping the elderly, the disad­ vantaged, and the handicapped. Major international agencies receiving CROP funds in 1977 included Catholic Relief Ser­ vices, the Mennonite Central Committee, Lutheran World Relief and the World Relief Commission of the National Association of Evangelicals. In November of last year, a pilot project for constituency education was launched, in­ volving target audiences in In­ diana, Illinois, Michigan, and Ohio. Initially planned as a twoyear program, the. project will seek to design models for raising awareness about the nature of poverty and ways persons, in­ stitutions, commerce, and governments influence development The end of the year saw the agency engaged in raising resources to help CWS ship 10,000 metric tons of wheat to Vietnam. One hundred twenty-four carloads of wheat, some donated by farmers in six wheat-growing states and some purchased with cash gifts raised nationwide, is scheduled to be dedicated at the Port of Houston on Saturday, March 4. The shipment was organized by Church World Service to help allay the threat of hunger pospd by a severe shortfall in last year’s rice crop in Vietnam. Recipients will be children in orphanages and those confined to hospitals and similar institutions. Other groups providing support for the shipment include Lutheran World Relief, the Fellowship of Reconciliation, Church Women United, and member denominations of Church World Service.

LANSING - The Department of Natural Resources is advising ice fishermen to remove their fish shanties from state lakes before warmer weather makes ice conditions unsafe. Mike Holmes, DNR Con­ servation Officer stationed in Escanaba, says every fish shanty in the state is checked by con­ servation officers during the winter. “If shanties are not removed in the spring before the thaw, they sink into the lake and become serious hazards for boats and water skiers,” he says. Holmes also reminds ice fishermen that all structures and shelters placed on the ice must be identified with the name and address of the owner affixed on all exterior sides in letters not less than two inches high. If a shanty does not have the owner’s name on it, Holmes leaves a card advising the owner of the law. “Structures must be removed before ice conditions become unsafe,” Holmes emphasize?. “Failure to identify, wrongly identifying or failure to remove the structure are violations of the la w and are subject to prosecution. -- ADDRESS AGE PHONE JOHNSON FURNITURE 112 N.

ROUNDUP DISCOUNTS News from the Senate Republican information office ■ State Capitol Southwestern Michigan farmers are reaping the benefits of the Farmland and Open Space Preservation Act, reports State Senator Harry DeMaso (R-Battle creek). The Act, which was passed in 1974, is designed to encourage the preservation of agricultural and undeveloped lands. It allows farmers to obtain special creditss on their t property taxes and exempts .them from-special assessments if they pledge to limit development of a certain portion of their land for a minimum of 10 years. (Such developemnt agreements may be terminated sooner, however, upon repayment, at the time the property is sold; of all tax benefits, plus interest, granted under the Act) “Participation in this program is strictly voluntary,” Senator DeMaso pointed out. “In essence, it provides farmers with an opportunity to enroll a portion of their land under this program so that it will remain free of development for a period of years and, at the same time, receive a financial return from the state for taking advantage of this opportunity.” Senator DeMaso noted that, as of the end of last year, a total of 516,336 acres of land statewide were enrolled under the Act, and that 1977 tax credits on property taxes paid the previous year amounted to nearly $1 million, with an. average tax credit of $1,898 per farmer. “I’m pleased to report that a total of more than 53,000 acres in Southwestern Michgian have been enrolled under the Far- mland Space and Open Preservation Act. This represents nearly 10.4 percent of the statewide total acreage preserved," he commented. “The fact that farmers in our area have been able to preserve this much land, while still maintaining production on their developed acreage, indicates to me that the program is proving quite beneficial to farmers living in the 20th Senatorial District which I represent.” Senator DeMaso represents the entire County of Branch, and parts of the Counties of Calhoun, Barry, Jackson,, Hillsdale, Kalamazoo, and St. Joseph.

DNR census of barn owls needs your assistanceLANSING - The Department of Natural Resources is conducting a census of the state’s barn owls­ and it needs your help. John Lerg, the DNR’s en­ dangered species program assistant coordinator, says the barn owl was fairly common in the state during the 1930’s and 1940’s, but declined drastically since then, and is now listed as a threatened species in the state. “Small towns and family farms years ago provided barn owls with their favorite nesting places in church towers, silos and barns,” Lerg says. “The birds are vanishing now, as the Michigan countryside changes.” The ’ barn owl, sometimes called monkey-faced owl, stands approximately 16 inches tall, has a creamy white, heart-shaped face patch, long legs, and black eyes. “This owl should not be con­ fused with the smaller screech owl,” he points out. “The screech owl is gray or reddish-brown, stands about eight inches tall, has yellow eyes, short legs, anti ear tufts.” Plans to help the species, will require observations of barn owls to determine their numbers in Michigan, whether they are nesting, and their location, Lerg says.

Delta Airlines added 3,000 seats to its Detroit-Florida route during prime travel time, and Eastern and United both report they are booked heavily on the three days before Easter and on return flights April 1-2, Auto Club said. The idea of spending Easter skiing In the Rockies proved so popular that United had to add 800 seats to its Chicago-Denver route, and all United flights to Las Vegas and Honolulu on Good Friday are booked 100 percent, Auto Club noted. But it is still possible to get to the Sunshine State and other popular Easter holiday destinations if travelers are flexible. The airlines always have lastminute cancellations and they encourage people to put them­ selves on standby lists. You have an even better chance if you don’t insist on flying during the peak travel period and are willing to take early morning and late night flights, Auto Club noted. Florida tourism officials say hotels and motels in beach areas and near popular attractions like Disney World are 95 percent filled for the two-week period ending April 2. They advise motorists to have confirmed reservations before heading south. Many state park campgrounds which take advance reservations already are filled although half of their,campsites still are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The parks open at 8 a.m. and campers are advised to line up early. Although private campgrounds also are under heavy pressure, space still is available. State tourism officials advise campers to call ahead for reservations. Some campgrounds have been filled since mid-February and expect to remain that way until mid-April. “Auto travel to Florida in­ creased tremendously last month following the big snowstorm in Michigan in late January,” noted Joseph Ratke, Auto Club Touring manager. “Our members’ requests for routings to Florida were up 10 percent in February over the same month a year ago but they were nearly 50 percent higher in January,” he said. Skiers who prefer to stay closer to home and take advantage of Michigan’s extended ski season can choose from at least a half­ dozen resorts which expect to have overnight accommodations available Easter weekend. These are West Michigan’s Schuss Mt., near Mancelona; Boyne Highlands, near Harbor Springs; Boyne Mt., near Boyne Falls; Shanty Creek, near Bellaire, and Sugar Loaf, near Traverse City. More than half of the state’s ski areas plan to operate through Easter weekend, but holiday skiers are advised to call ahead in the event of any abrupt weather changes. Most travel in Michigan over the Easter weekend will be confined to within 50 miles of motorists’ homes, where Auto Club’s “Bring ‘em Back Alive!” traffic studies show eight of 10 fatal accidents occur. Last year, 13 persons were killed on Michigan highways during the Easter weekend, compared to 18 the year before. “Peak travel time in Michigan will be between 6 and 10 p.m. Easter Sunday when families are returning home from holiday reunions with relatives and friends, and motorists are urged to use extra caution then,” Ratke said. Ratke also reminds motorists that some service stations close for Easter Sunday and trips should be planned accordingly. An Auto Club survey of nearly 300 stations along main roads shows all plan to open daylight hours through Saturday, with 70 per­ cent open Sunday. After 9 p.m., 44 percent are open weekdays, 42 percent Saturday and 35 percent Sunday. An average 11 percent pump gas after midnight daily.

She may not win the State Championship this season, but she more than holds her own against her male counterparts. "It’s fun," says Darcy. "I decided to wrestle since my brother was doing it." Darcy is a very competitive and active little girl. Besides her exploits on the mat, she is also interested in gymnastics, swimming, baseball, dancing and motorcycling. As for wrestling, she gets lots of extra practice at home by competing with her brother Lance. Although she enjoys wrestling against the boys, she would like some girls to compete with too. "I wish more girls would go out for wrestling," says Darcy. Darcy is the daughter of Albert and Nancy Ainsworth.

The philosophy leans heavily on learning by doing, utilizing internships in upper grades and field trips, discussion groups in the lower. “Why shouldn’t kids try their Serving our country WICHITA FALLS, Tex—An official at Sheppard AFB, Tex., has announced the graduation of Airman Jeffrey J. Taylor from the U.S. Air Force’s en­ vironmental support specialist course conducted by the Air Training Command. Airman Taylor, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dale L. Taylor of 161 W. Broadway Woodland, Mich., studied water and waste treat­ ment processes, and will serve at Grand Forks AFB, N.D. Com­ pletion of the course earned the individual credits towards an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force. The airman is a 1977 graduate of Lakewood High School, Lake Odessa, Mich. Michigan reports increase hunger resources- wings?”, says Robert Weisher, State Career Education director. “Don’t tie wings to bodies and when they’re 18 say “Go ahead and fly.” Relevancy will give students an incentive to learn the basics too, “You can get kids to learn if you give them a reason to learn”. So...on Presidents Day, Chuck Beachnau, former 4th grade student of Mrs. Jacoby’s and home town recruiter for the Army came to “recruit” her present 4th grade of which his sister Sonia is a member. Charles graduated from Maple Valley last June 1977 then he enlisted in the Army to become a Radar Air Traffic Comptroller. He’s been working in Charlotte for past month as a hometown recruiter, then he goes to Fort Sill for 6 months to get FAA license to control aircraft. After this he plans to attend Will Rogers Aviation Academy. He thinks this is great and stressed the relevancy of reading skills, map skills, math, public speaking, science and social studies to his past experience and future plans. These traditional skills have been needed to fill out resumes, tax forms, weather study, etc. In career education we stress to not overlook basic skills as we develop children’s vocational abilities. Umpire school to be held starting April 13 for anyone interested CROP Community Hunger Appeal resources collected in Michigan in 1977 totaled $279,666, an increase of $38,402 from 1976. Michigan CROP Director, David C. Bower, reported $195,479 was received for hunger and development projects overseas and Michigan hunger agencies. An additional $84,187 of new clothing and cash to purchase new blankets was received for distribution by Church World Service in 50 countries and USA flood victims in Johnstown and Kansas City. Michigan citizens have donated $3,579,122 of food and self-help resources to CROP during its thirty-year history in Michigan— from 1948 to 1977. In 1977, CROP provided 882,000 pounds of Michigan-grown split white beans at a value of $78,292, in addition to resources ranging in size from a well-drilling rig to packets of vegetable seed, and from windmills to gardening manuals. CROP resources are now used for appropriate technology, food commodities (as payment for work-development programs), seeds and education to help people grow their own food, and technical consultants who work, as partners, to find better .ways of alleviating world hunger. Growing in importance and emphasis in 1977 was the CROP education-awareness program, as it alerted more and more Americans to the great need for social, economic, and political change to get at the root causes of hunger and injustice in our world.

(Maple Valley News Photo) Once upon a time - as legend has it - an Indian squaw was preparing venison in the clear sap from a maple tree. During the cooking process, she allowed the sap to boU down and it formed a sweet syrup which her husband found delicious. From that time on, the Indians used maple sap and syrup extensively as sweeteners, eventually passing their secret on to the early pioneers. The legend does not say whether the squaw’s tribe was one native to Michigan, but as a result of her discovery Michigan is the fourth leading producer of maple syrup in the United States today. And, tree tapping time in Michigan is a special time of the year, according to the Travel Bureau, Michigan Department of Commerce. Maple trees produce sugar during the summer months. Some is used immediately in the growth process and some is stored for use during the winter months. As the days begin to warm, in late winter or early spring, the sap in the trees begins to warm, in late winter or early spring, the sap in the trees begins to move picking up some of the stored up sugar along the way. This is “harvest season” for Michigan “sugar bush” owners, and maple syrup producers. The sweet sap is gathered by drilling holes into the trees and inserting a “spile” or spigot which allows the sap to drip freely into a container attached to the “spile”. Sap from the in­ dividual tree containers is usually collected by hand, poured into-a gathering tank and tran­ sported to the sugarhouse. There the sap goes into an evaporator where it is boiled down into pure maple syrup. When the sap is running, the collecting and boiling down process often goes continuously 24 hours a day. Incidentally, if you think pure maple syrup seems a bit ex- pensive, consider that a maple tree should be at least 40 years old with a diameter of 10 inches before it is tapped. Each tap of a tree will yield about 15 to 20 gallons of sap per season and it Continued on page 8 col. 3 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday March 29, 1978 ** Page 2 longer if snow remains on the ground.

President-elect Harold Christiansen presented his new committees for the year, as follows: Department of Public Works — Chairman Tom Oleson, John Mason and Maurice Purchis; Police — Chairman Bill Hecker, Forrest Babcock and Maurice Purchis; Finance — Chairman Ted Spoelstra, Bill Hecker and Tom Oleson; Parks & Library — Chairman John Mason, Maurice Purchis and Forrest Babcock. Represen­ tatives on the Fire Board will be Tom Oleson and Ted Spoelstra. Oleson was also appointed as President pro-tem. Forrest Babcock was chosen as Region III representative. Tim Smith was reappointed Director of Public Services and Safety, Kendal Wilcox as Chief of Police, and Charles Andrus as Zoning Administrator. Serving on the Cemetary Board will be Leon Frith and Will Suntkin. Zoning and Planning board members will be announced at the April 13th council meeting. Russell Furlong, representing the Nashville Business Owners Association, was present at the council meeting to discuss plans for the development of the Main Street site owned by the organization. Furlong presented a blueprint for a domed-roof cement block building, faced front and back with brick, with an “eyebrow” overhand similar to those on the bank and pharmacy. The building may be set up as a mini-mall or as a single business with varied departments. He reported that the Association had talked with fifteen businesses, and seven of these prospective tenants had come to Nashville to look at the site. Adequate parking Lakewood Accel facilities, good police coverage, and the tax situation were first, second and third priorities for these potential clients. Furlong said they felt everything was satisfactory except the parking situation, which would require immediate council action. Stressing that cooperation bet­ ween the council and business community were essential to the survival of Main Street, Furlong pointed out that all Main Street businessmen would benefit from the parking and walkway project. The Association plans call for behind-store parking, plus an enclosed ten foot wide walkway through their building to Main Street. This walkway, with glass doors at each end, would be lighted, slightly heated, and locked during night-time hours. Dependent upon further council action, the walkway could be located on the present site of Cherry Alley which runs adjacent to the Associations’ property and the Nashville Auto and Farm Supply store. In subsequent action the council voted in spearate motions, one a tie-vote broken by 1978--Page 3 President pro-tem Hinckley, to purchase two lots behind the stores on the west side of Main Street for the development of parking facilities. Grant monies are currently being sought for the paving and lighting of this area. The council also voted to enter into further discussion with the Business Owners Association on the enclosure and useage of Cherry Alley as a walkway. Councilman Oleson questioned whether the village or Association would be responsible for the maintainence of the walk­ way. It was generally agreed that satisfactory arrangements could be worked out between the council and businessmen as soon as the legality of enclosing the •alley was determined. Coun­ cilman Mason said he supported cooperation between the twc groups for the survival of the downtown business area and agreed with Furlong that it was time to work together. President­ elect Harold Christiansen, a member of the audience, said he favored the proejct as it would be Continued on next page— EASY-TO CARE - FOR HAIR for the girl on thego...

In related action also concerned with development of the downtown area, the council voted to lease the land owned by the Riverside Recreational Development Corp for a period of 25 years, for the consideration of $1. per year. The council in turn authorized the RRDC (a non­ profit, volunteer organization) to manage and maintain the leased land in the best interests of the village. This action was necessary to obtain grant monies for the development of the property, which will feature softball diamonds, bleachers, tennis courts and recreational facilities adjacent to the behindstore parking area, west of Main Street.

Attending the bill signing ceremony were three lawmakers who had a significant hand in winning legislative approval for the bill. Pictured at the ceremony are (left to right) State Representative Robert Law (R-Livonia), who re­ presents an area where traffic noise is a serious problem; State Representative John Bennett (D-Detroit), Chairman of the House Roads and Bridges Committee which aired the bill; Governor Milliken; and Senator Allen. Senator Allen commented at the bill-signing ceremony, "As we become more and more urbanized throughout the state, we are experiencing more and more noise problems along our roads and highways. If we had continued to operate under the subjective standards in the previous law, we would have surely been confronted across the state with the serious noice problems now found primarily in Southeastern Michigan." "This measure represents the first step toward reducing vehicle noise to an acceptable level," he continued. "But, this law alone is not the final solution. We must also take steps to encourage further technological developments by the motor vehicle industry which will reduce noise/and to enact comprehensive land-use planning procedures which will assure that roads and bridges are not built in close proximity to our citizens' homes in the future." Senator Allen's bill officially became Public Act 73 of 1978 when it was signed by the Governor. Copies of the new law may be obtained by contacting Senator Allen's office in the State Capitol.

The resolution of com­ mendation was among some two dozen pplicy statements on issues affecting dairy farmers adopted by 350 delegates at the MMPA annual meeting in East Lansing in mid-March. “We especially commend those legislative leaders and MMPA members who were instrumental in securing this needed legislation,” delegates also said. amendment. MMPA is a milk marketing cooperative owned and controlled by some 5,700 dairy farmers in Michigan and northern Indiana, northern Ohio and northern Wisconsin. Delegates also: --commended the state legislature and the Governor for their actions resulting in an exemption for most sectors of agriculture from the Single Business Tax, thereby lightening the tax impact on such capital­ intensive enterprises as dairy farming. -strongly supported preser­ vation of the Michigan Com­ mission of Agriculture, a bipartisan panel whose duties include appointing the Michigan Director of agriculture.

That measure is expected to mean a total of some $600,000 for Michigan dairy farmers for the period October 1977 through February 1978. The increase is believed to more nearly compensate farmers for costs of caring for biopsied cows under terms of the law. Major legislative sponsors of the amendment was Rep.

Although current conditions create no immediate cause for alarm, the degree of spring flooding in Michigan will depend on the amount of rainfall and the rate of thaw. Experts indicate we can expect at least some shallow overflowing of rivers in the state. However, - it is wise to be prepared for the worst just in case Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate, according to Terry Buckles, Executive Director of the Michigan Association of Insurance Companies. Damage resulting from floods is not covered under the homeowners insurance policy. Flood insurance must be pur­ chased in separate policies from the National Floor Insurance Program and is available under two plans from any licensed property-casualty insurance agent. The first of these is an emergency plan which is available to citizens of com­ munities that are designated as floor prone and-or have applied for the federal program.

I think it would be health-promoting, as well as energy-efficient, to have bikes available for this purpose.” “State government has already demonstrated an awareness to the need to conserve energy by establishing successful motor and van pools,” Senator Allen added. “My idea is just a logical extension of these efforts.” The Allen resolution (SCR 408) has been referred to the Senate Business Committee for review. Immunization clinics planned! ATTENTION - Many of you parents are not familiar with the disease of Potioniyelitis and its crippling potential. And did you know we still have cases of Diphtheria, Whooping Cough, and Tetanus. These are not forgotten diseases. Rubella is still causing birth defects in newborn babies. And you probably heard last year of all the cases of measles around, even in high school. Why take the risk of your child — either infant or school age — having one of these diseases. Check their immunization record and see if it is up to date. Parents — don’t wait until your child is ready for school. Protect them early starting at 2 months with Diphtheria, Whooping Cough, and Tetanus. Three of these given 2 months apart with a reinforcing dose 1 year later, a booster at Kin­ dergarten age and Diphtheria and Tetanus at 15 years. Oral Polio is given along with the D.P.T. Measles and Rubella is given after 15 months of age. Mumps is not required for school entrance but recommended.

But there are still things renters can do to help the situation, says Home Economist Ann Ross. MSU Extension Agricultural Engineer Jim Boyd says: 1) Be more selective in the type of apartment you choose, especially if you must pay the heat bill. For example, in a big complex, don’t take the apart­ ment in the northwest corner. That’s where the cold wind will come from in the winter months. 2) Get an apartment that is surrounded by other apartments, with the one side — the exterior wall — to the south. That way, you can take advantage of the heat from other units plus the midday warmth from the sun in winter on the one exposed wall. 3) A middle-level apartment with apartments above and below it is better, considering energy use, than a top floor or basement apartment. If there is not much insulation in the ceiling, a top floor apartment will lose a lot of heat upward. ' Likewise, a basement apartment that is not well insulated on the side walls will loss heat through the foun­ dation where it is exposed to the outside. How can you tell if there’s adequate insulation? Last year’s heating bills can provide a clue. If possible, ask the previous renter of the apartment what he or she is paying for utility bills. Ifyou are considering renting a house, particularly an older one, there would be even more reason to seek information from the previous renter. There are many places for heat loss through a house and your utility bills might get out of hand. If you are not able to talk with previous renters, discuss the insulation with the landlord. Go Capitol Events; A weekly report from Richard Allen Few people I know have never attended a potluck supper or bake sale. These events have a long, traditional background, and are important to many people in our state, particularly those living in rural areas. They provide fellowship for those participating, and help community groups raise money for worthy causes. A threat has apparently arisen, however, to the continued existence of potlucks and bake sales. Some county public health officials started enforcing a state regulation a few weeks ago requiring that all food served at any gathering open to the public had to be prepared in licensed kitchens approved by county health departments.

PH. 945-9926 VOmlTIIJI_l■l ■TV* mEb iVeil■tSw what these officials were saying was that home-cooked food couldn’t be served to the public. Naturally, this upset a lot of people in our state, those who prepare in their kitchens the food served at these events, as well as those attending them as in­ nocent bystanders. Since it would be impossible, of course, for every home’s kitchen to be in­ inspected and licensed by county health departments, the potlucks and bake sales would simply have to be stopped as a result of this regulation. The Legislature never intended for this tohappen, however, when it passed a law a few years back allowing the State Public Health Department to write regulations regarding that type of standards kitchens should meet. So, in an effort to clear up this misunderstandingr and assure the legality qf potluck suppers and bake sales, a bill was in­ troduced exempting these events from this law. This bill specifically guaran­ tees that churches, service groups, and other nonprofit organizations will be allowed to continue to serve home-cooked food without having to meet the standards currently imposed on commercial food outlets. The House has already passed the bill, and the Senate is ex­ pected to do so in the very near future. I’ll be among those in the Senate supporting the bill.

Cook, County Extension Director Nearly every household and workshop has several glues on hand, and often the tops are sealed on so that a hammer or pliers is needed for opening, or the contents may be aged beyond usefulness. We often use glues and discover later that the wrong glue was used. There are literally hundreds of adhesives available and they are so much a part of our lives that we don’t read the “owners’ manuals.” Dr. James Goff, professor of packaging at Michigan State University, says that there are 10 or 15 classes of adhesives com­ monly found in retail and wholesale outlets. For the farm workshop, however, only three or four glue types need to be stocked. Any others would be purchased in one-time-use situations for large jobs like construction or renovation. Goff recommends: Most Useful: Regular and five minute epoxies. These adhesives are best for general use when bonding both similar and dif­ ferent materials. They form extremely strong bonds with a wide variety of materials (glass or wood to metal window frames). They are water proof and oil resistant. A possible disadvantage is that they are two part adhesives (a resin and a hardener) that must be mixed before use. A recent addition to this family is an aluminum epoxy that has good resistance to vibration stress and would be useful in many light metal bonding ap­ plications (tractor cab.trim, etc). Next most useful: Silicon adhesives and sealants — relatively new products that are probably best suited to the role of sealant. Highly waterproof, flexible after setting, and nonconductive, they are excellent for temporary insulation patches and waterproofing jobs in machinery electrical systems and similar applications. They also do a good job in bonding glass. Old standby: Polyvinyl acetate adhesives (white glue) account for about one-half of the general purpose glues sold in the United States. They have a wide range of applications, especially when the materials being bonded are porous. A major advantage is that they wash out of clothes readily. Newcomer: Aliphatic glues. A relatively new liquid very similar to white glues, but with increased advantages in bonding wood to wood. News from state senator Dick Allen The Barry County Sheriff’s Department will be receiving a combined federal-state grant of $28,910 to increase the Depart­ ment’s ability to prevent burglary and larceny, reports State Senator Dick Allen (RAlma). “Incidences of reported burglary and larceny in Barry County have been steadily decreasing in recent years,” Senator Allen pointed out. “The goal of this program is to promote this downward trend even further through increased public awareness and par­ ticipation in anti-crime ac­ tivities.” Senator Allen noted that the ACTION-ADS SPRING GARDENS - Nashville and Vermontville area.

Many children know little about their family’s heritage and culture. They have little un­ derstanding of other culture. The family is the child’s point of reference. In the family unit, students sometimes hear their grandparents tell about their lives in the old days. Without first hand experience some students may have difficulty relating to a social studies unit that describes and Eskimo grandfather telling his grandchildren about a hun­ ting trip that took place long ago. Telling stories around a campfire was how people of long ago told the history of their families. Lucy Jacoby’s 4th graders, Room 13 at Fuller St. School, Nashville, have enjoyed telling an event in their childhood and about special happenings in their families. Displaying heirlooms passed down through generations of their families is also exciting. ’ A copy of the Family Tree chart was given to students. This has involved parents who help their child fill in names of relatives and as many facts as possible. Neatness is important. This recording may be the only family tree their families will ever have. They are looking for old photos, scrapbooks, newspaper clippings and other mementos. Parents may have family Bibles and written records to share with children. Students have been interviewing grandparents, uncles or aunts as to... 1) Earliest event in their life. 2) Best things hap­ pening as a child. 3) Worst weather they can remember. 4) Awards received as a child. 5) Great invention or special event that may have ehanged their life.

According to Dr. Bonita Neff, statewide coordinator of the 4-H bicycle project, “the tri-county’s pilot program is the first comprehensive coordinated educational bicycle program in the nation.” In addition, representatives from organizations - including the League of American Wheelmen, the Tri-County Bicycle Association, the Tri-City American Youth Hostel Club, and Michigan State University - will offer workshop sessions on bicycle safety equipment, maintenance, and bike laws; and organizing bicycle rallies, races, tours, and camping trips. “The two-day workshop is open to anyone interested in setting up bicycle care and safety programs,” according to Dr. Bonita Neff. The 4-H bicycle programming workshop is being sponsored by the Michigan 4-H Foundation as part of a three-year, $200,000 bicycle safety and care project grant from the Office of Highway Safety Planning. Anyone wishing additional information on the workshop should contact the Barry County Extension Office.

Her maternal relatives go back to colonists from France and Holland. Matt Drewyor’s grandmother helped him trace to Robert the Bruce,-Scotland 1274. Kenny Meade’s history is traced to 1635 and the Mayflower. Each pupil will make own favorite book. They will be author, illustrator and main character. They will spend a month writing letters for information and their first creative writing project this year. The finished book will include chapters on “roots”, childhood, hobbies and future plans. The autobiographies help pupils write better and improve their self image, according to Mrs. Jacoby who has been giving this assignment for several years. It helps them feel “I’m important, my family is im­ portant,” she said. Some pupils filled pages with details of an­ cestors reaching as far back as the Mayflower, while others concentrated on a few of their more colorful relatives. Parents and grandparents with good memories were a definite asset for autobiography writers who included accounts of when they first walked, talked, swam and even smiled. photo mug ree III people are invited to attend.

It’s so good to have Eliza home from Fla., and Elizabeth C. back with us after being absent for two months. Elsie C. is in her own home again. I’m sorry that Edith B. and Bernice S. aren’t feeling as well as recently. Our chili supper and afghan raffle turned out quite well, as we had a tidy profit after bills were paid. We purchased decorations for St. Patrick’s and Easter observances and some tablecloths. Rachel B. and Dick and Ferae sold the most raffle tickets.. Our congratulations to Jane Rea of Lacey on winning the Afghan! On St. Patrick’s Day, 2 or 3 carloads of people came from the Woodland Site and were our luncheon guests. Tables were decorated with pots of greenery, enhanced with emblems synonymous to the Irish- hats, shamrocks and pipes- prepared by Edna, our talented flower arranger. With Ferae at the piano, the group enjoyed singing a dozen Irish songs she had compiled. Our sincere thanks to the Hastings Site for printing up our song sheets. Later,- Mrs. Westbay came and entertained us with singing, accompanying herself on the guitar. Our last meal before Easter, the 23rd, was carried out in Easter decor. Supervisor Mary’s husband, Lester, purchased lilies for the tables so all could enjoy the beauty and regality of these traditional Easter flowers. Table favors were nests of jelly bean eggs, and those people lucky enough to find a numbered paper in their nest were allowed to take home a cute chick, crocheted Olivo-Burt united— Raul Olivo and Lannett Burt were united in marriage on March 19, 1978 at the Leesburg Grace Brethern Church in Leesburg, Ind.

Mr. and Mrs Ben Ommen were also in the group which stopped first at Springfield, Illionis on their way to Hannibal. Missouri, to a Holiday Inn for the first night. We were disappointed that we were too late to tour Mark Twain’s home and the area where Sam Clemons wrote his books about Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. We saw the effects of the heavy rainfall as so many of the fields were flooded. The next day to Memphis, Tennessee, and a glimpse of Elivs Presley’s home Graceland, which is closed to the public, but visited by many as evidenced by the hundreds of names written on the stone fence. The next two nights were spent in New Orleans at Bienville House in the French Quarter, where you see lovely patios and courtyards and the many iron lace balconies lining the narrow streets. New Orleans is a beautiful city with its many, many bridges, stately live oak trees, colorful flowers and beautiful homes. A specialty is “Cafe au lait” coffee made with scalded milk and served with “beignets” sugar powdered doughnuts. The attractions of­ fered in this city are too numerous to mention but include many seafood restaurants, night clubs with their jazz bands, ex­ cursions on sternwheeler boats, a visit to the Top of the Mart (world's largest revolving lounge) and walking in the French Quarter’ After leaving New Orleans we visited the beautiful Bellingrath Gardens and Home near Mobile, Alabama, drove by Stone Mountain with its Memorial Carving of Confederate President, Jefferson Davis, and Generals Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson, but the park was closed until next week. We came home via Atlanta, Georgia and Lexington, Kentucky, arriving Wednesday afternoon. On Friday Mrs. Firster took a group to Wheeling, W. Va. to Country Jamboree, U.S.A. They report beautiful spring weather and Tammy Wynette was on the program. Mrs. Ella Saylor was taken very ill Thursday afternoon and called operator for assistance. Our ambulance answered the call and took her to HGB and called her daughter in Okemos.

Fleminger, social security district manager in Grand Rapids said today. And to make it easier, people can get a free postcard form for this purpose at the Hastings office. All a person has to do is fill out the card, stamp it, and send it to the address on the card. In return,, he or she will receive a statement of-the earnings reported to the person’s social security record. The statement will show actual yearly earnings for the past few years, along with a summary of the earnings reported to the record since the person began working in jobs covered by social security., Also, Mr. Fleminger continued, if the person is 55 or older, he or she will receive an estimate of the retirement benefits payable at 65 based on current earnings and benefit rates. There is a reason why a person should check his or her record about every 3 years, Mr. Fleminger added.. That is because corrections cannot generally be made in reported earnings more than 3 years, 3 months, and 15 days after the end of the year in which the earnings were reported. A person who thinks there is an error in reported earnings should get in touch with the Hastings soca social secur security y oce, office Mr. r. Fleminger said. He or she should bring whatever evidence they have that shows the correct earnings. This might include Forms W-2 (Wage and Tax Statement), pay slips, tax returns, statements from employers, and similar evidence. The Grand Rapids social security office is located at 110 Michigan N.W. The telephone number is 456-2241. Vermontville Cub Scout Pack 649 We held our annual Blue and Gold Banquet Saturday Feb. 25 at the Maplewood School. It was a huge success.

Piddington is a Vermontville High School graduate and the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Piddington of Charlotte. Capt.

The weather satellite launched continued on page 5- is about to become a reality; with the purchase of the two lots by the village, the development of a downtown parking area has become possible”. Furlong stated that he felt “the Association had kicked away the stumbling block that has held up the progress of Nashville’s business development for many years”. Furlong credits village president, Harold Christiansen and the cooperation of the village council members for this achievement. “The deterioration of the downtown business district is over” Furlong continued, “as parking has been a problem for many years and we now have an opportunity to move forward, and that’s the way we’re headed”. Furlong complimented Tim Smith, Director of Public Ser­ vices and Safety, for his assistance in the project. “I can’t say enough about the cooperation, advise and help Tim has given me to make all this possible” said Furlong. “Tim Smith is a very civic-minded individual who has represented the village very well toward a goal that will help all of Nashville and we are lucky to have someone with his dedication and interest working for our community” continued Furlong. The Association will be releasing additional details in the next few months on their aims and plans for the future of downtown Nashville - “a town on the grow”.

The total shopping space is now 5,900 square feet, an additional 25' x 35’ of floor area which includes a new entrance, two more aisles, and one more check out (soon to be added). There is also a new produce case, and newly acquired beverage cooler conveniently located by the checkouts. The meat department will continue to be a service meat case, but the processing room has been newly arranged for customer convenience. The back of the building has also been remodeled with a 40' x 40’ area to be used for meat and grocery storage which had not been previously used.

However, the weather in Florida was warm and sunny and Bob got a nice tan at Daytona Beach.

Village president Harold Christiansen called a special council meeting last Thursday evening to discuss and act on a petition by the Nashville Business Owners Association for abandonment of Cherry Alley, between Water Alley and Main Street, to allow construction of a covered walkway through the Associations’ proposed new building. The council also heard a similar petition from Charles Andrus on behalf of Nashville Farm and Auto Supply in con­ junction with the first request. The council voted unamimously, on a ’ motion by Councilman Mason, to accept the petitions for abandonment with the stipulation that the Association establish a public walkway between the parking area and Main Street. The notice of abandonment must be published three weeks and followed by a public hearing, an action which, when finalized, would convey liability for the walkway to the Association. Russell Furlong, president of the Business Owners Association, said the “walkway would im­ prove the overall business at­ mosphere of the downtown area”. Discussion of fire and police protection for the walkway followed, and it was/ generally agreed that the fire and police departments should have keys for access to the glass-doored walkway which would be locked during night-time hours. A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative TAX DUE — This is the last week to prepare and send in your 1977 state and federal income tax returns. Returns are due in Lansing next Monday, April 17; remember to take all the exemptions and tax credits to which you are entitled..

The ac­ tion was taken upon petition by the Nashville Business Owners Association agreeing that “if Cherry Alley is abandoned and if, in fact, the Nashville Business Owners Association does con­ struct a building covering the properties to the north of Cherry Alley and to include coverage of Cherry Alley” the Association “shall provide a public covered walkway, ten feet in width, to run east and west between the village-owned parking lot and the Main Street area”. In related action last month, the coumcil had approved pur­ chase of two lots behind the stores in order to gain complete village ownership of the parking area. The Association owned one lot, and the adjacent lot was privately owned. Village ownership was necessary in order to obtain grant monies, currently being sought, for paving and lighting of the parking area. In a statement issued following last Thursday’s council action Russell Furlong, president of the Nashville Business Owners Association, said “the Barry County Sheriff Posse summer season to start at Syrup Festival­ summer Season starts off with the Vermontville Syrup Festival scheduled for April 29, 1978. All members who can ride are asked to meet at the same location as last year, Michigan Magnetics Building, be there at 12:00 Noon. First Lieutenant Don Norton announced that the Barry County Sheriff’s Posse has eleven members going to Roscommon to ride in the State Posses Association Pony Express Ride being held June 9, 1978. Lieutenant Norton nominated Robert Abendroth to represent the Barry County Posse at all Barry County Conservation Club meetings. Sheriff David Wood asked all Posse members to come to our May meeting in uniforms, using full winter dress uniforms, for purpose of pictures for deputy I.D. cards. Also at our April meeting we had our required Fire Arms saftey course. This course was conducted by three of our saftey instructors, Corp. Gary Howell, Deputy George Howell from the Sheriffs Dept., and Deputy Bruce Marateller from the Sheriffs Posse. To close out our April meeting we were shown a film on Shotguns, and their saftey while on duty along with several dif­ ferent techniques of use.

(4­ 11) Associations’ first and foremost objective in purchasing the properties in downtown Nashville iis about to become a reality; with the purchase of the two lots by the village, the development of a downtown parking area has become possible”. Furlong stated that he felt “the Association had kicked away the stumbling block that has held up the progress of Nashville’s business development for many years”. Furlong credits village president, Harold Christiansen and the cooperation of the village council members for this achievement “The deterioration of the downtown business district is over” Furlong continued, “as parking has been a problem for many years and we now have an opportunity to move forward, and that’s the way we’re headed”. Furlong complimented Tim Smith, Director of Public Ser­ vices and Safety, for his assistance in the project. “I can’t say enough about the cooperation, advise and help Tim has given me to make all this possible” said Furlong. “Tim Smith is a very civic-minded individual who has represented — NOTICE — To all residents of the Village of Vermontville: the village very well toward a goal that will help all of Nashville and we are lucky to have someone with his dedication and interest working for our community” continued Furlong. The Association will be releasing additional details in the next few months on their aims and plans for the future of downtown Nashville - “a town on the grow”. The Vermontville Village Council has de­ clared the week of April 10-17 as clean-up week. The landfill will be open Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, April 15, 16 & 17.

Senator Richard Allen The days when motherhood was supposedly the safest of political issues is long since gone. It has been a tough adjustment for some legislators of the old school to deal with opinionated women demanding this or that. Some issues, such as ERA, birth control, and abortion, draw mostly women, and there are well-organized and articulate groups on both sides. Neither can be put off with some oldfashioned, condescending, or chauvinistic remarks. There is very little room in the middle for traditional political fence-riding. I’ve taken my stand in the past on the side of those who feel it is their right to control their own reproductive lives in whatever manner they individually deem most appropriate. And, ofcourse, I’ve taken the heat from those who vigorously oppose my position. I’m perfectly willing to assure women equal rights in all ways — at least, 1 thought I was. Now an issue comes along that causes me to wonder. Is pregnancy a disability? Is it a voluntary or accidental con­ dition?

Formerly Randall Lumber Company illegal for employer-paid health, accident and disability insurance to exclude pregnancy. Certainly, pregnancy requires medical attention, and it would generally result in having to take some time off work. In this way, it is similar to a broken leg, and a decent argument can be made that if one is covered, then the other should be. This analogy can be carried even further by pointing out that a married woman has some probability of becoming pregnant, just as a skier has some probability of breaking a leg. To exclude broken legs or pregnancy from employer-paid insurance, therefore, is to discriminate against skiers and married women. On the other hand, if one family chooses to have a child, and another chooses not to so they can afford a trip to Europe, aren’t each of these economic decisions? Should ' an employer be required to participate in one decision, and excluded from the other? If employers must help pay for babies, are not older workers, single people, and perhaps men in general discriminated against? It’s all very confusing to me. At this point, I’m leaning toward the conclusion that medical needs are medical needs, and disability is disability, without regard to cause. So I’m intending to vote that pregnancy must be covered. But, to tell the truth, I’m only leaning a little. There are good arguments on both sides.

Come to our “Peer Plus” weekend by Jan Tirrell, 4-H Program Assistant “Who am I?” “I really want to tell someone how I feel, but I don’t know how.” “No one ever listens to me. I wish someone cared about what I think.” Feelings like these expressed by teens led to the development of Michigan’s Peer Plus program. Designed for older youth age 14 and over, Peer (Posture Educational Experiences in Relationships) Plus involves small-group learning ex­ periences that help youth (and adults) learn more about themselves and how they relate to others. The program usually offers a weekend experience away from home. Group exercises explore such things as group decisionmaking, trust building, and reectve stenng ss. Adreflective listening skills Additionally, the participants receive help in developing a better self-understanding, self­ concept and self-image; gain a better understanding of other’s views and values; and become more aware of and proficient in interpersonal communication skills. Much of this is accomplished tthrough the use of short, creative group exercises in listening and communicating. Sound interesting? Eaton County will hold a Peer Plus weekend on Friday and Saturday, April 28 and 29. The session will be held at the Meadowview School (Eaton Intermediate) on Packard Hwy. in Charlotte. It will begin on 6:00 p.m. Friday and finish up at 2:00 or 3:00 p.m. Saturday. Participants will need to bring a sleeping bag or bed roll, pillows, blankets, toilet articles, snacks and pop (there is a pop machine at the school, 20c a bottle but you need exact change). You will also want comfortable clothes. There will be a small charge for breakfast and lunch on Saturday. Peer Plus weekends are fun! It’s not all work - we’ll play cards and basketball and do other more entertaining activities. If you would like to join us, please call Jan, 543-2310 by April 21 and let her know so that there will be plenty of food and snacks on hand.

Ann Samann declined to run for public office after serving three years as councilwoman and the last six years as Vermontville Village Clerk. The clerk’s chores have been taken over by Natalie Gaedert who won that position in the recent general election. Although she no longer is of­ ficially involved in local government, Ann is still willing to help the village. She is currently still completing the highway report and village audit. “The job has doubled since I took it over six years ago,” says Ann. “I really loved the job, but I Hydrostatic Drive...

G.W Sales Ph. 616-374-8835 LAKE ODESSA can't continue at the present salary ($4,000) with the present work load (over 40 hours a week in my own home). “The village should have a clerk’s office and a full-time clerk. The office doesn’t belong in a home, there’s far too much traffic for that. I would get calls at 6 a.m. in the morning to well into the evening. There should be regular office hours in a village office.” The clerk’s job consists of a weekly payroll, monthly water and sewer billings, census reports (especially the last two years), highway reports, audits, and municipal books. “I think Natalie will do a real fine job,” continues Ann. “She now has a deputy clerk (Flossie Corey) who will help. “If the village should get an office in the future, I may con­ sider running for office again. I miss the people the most, most of the people have lived here most of their lives and I have too. However, I would like the people to get more involved, come to the council meetings and be a part of it, not only come when they have complaints. “I like Vermontville for the small town atmosphere. It’s a good place to live. Taxes are lower, water and sewer bills are lower than in the city, and the people are warmer, friendlier, and more understanding in a small town. Like during the snowstorm, people really pulled together. “The clerk’s chores have doubled, the town is growing with more trailers and duplexes going up all the time and there are twice the amount of government reports to send in now.” Some of Ann’s accomplishments include sending the water and sewer billings together and the bookkeeping system that now meets all the state requirements. “I feel I have accomplished alot, but I would have liked to do a lot more. I feel the village needs new equipment. I handled the equipment repair bills and they have been a terrific expense. There is also a drainage problem on local streets and hard sur­ facing could help. The water department needs more flushing of hydrants and water testing too. I do feel the water rates could be reduced in future years, with the good reserve buildup the village now has.” Although she is no longer in public office, the village and people remain a primary concern to Ann. Vermontville will miss a dedicated servant like Ann Samann. It's time to get that garden off the ground— by John Baer, Extension Agricultural Agent If your only potential gar­ dening spot is.poorly drained, or if you aren’t able to do the ben­ ding and stooping that ordinary gardening requires, raised beds may be a way to gardening success. ■ Ifyou don’t have either of these two gardening problems, building raised beds may just be making extra work. Horticulture specialists at Michigan State University point out that improved drainage is the most common reason for con­ structing raised beds. Ten to 12 inches of porous, organic soil can turn a poorly drained or hard clay site into a productive garden spot. The convenience of bringing plants up toward the gardener Auto Service CENTER QUALITY WORKMANSHIP by Trained Mechanics TRANSMISSION REPAIRS BODY & BUMP SERVICE •BRAKES MAJOR OVERHAULS use your Mobil ELECTRICAL WORK Crcd" c°rd or BankAmericard (VISA) Trowbridge Service 301 S. Main St., Vermontville - Ph. 726-0569 can also be an important factor. Even people in wheelchairs can garden if beds are raised to 18-24 inches. Raised beds are usually con­ structed with some kind of wall around them to hold the soil. Railroad ties and old lumber treated with copper naphthenate to prevent decay -- cement blocks, leftover patio blocks and a variety of other castoff or inexpensive materials can be used. Because a raised bed tends to become a fixed part of the land­ scape, plan it into the general landscape scheme. It can give your landscape a whoie new dimension. Give some thought to repeating materials and lines from the rest of the landscape If your house has a stone wall, use the same stone for the walls of your raised beds. If wood is a dominant theme in the home, carry it into the garden by building your retaining walls out of scrap lumber,redwood or railroad ties. Pressure-treated wood will last indefinitely, even in contact with the soil. The size of the bed depends on what you want to grow in it, whether you’ll be able to work it from all sides and how much work you’re willing to put into it. A bed that can be worked from all sides can be up to five feet wide. One that is accessible from only one side should be narrower, unless it is broken up with foot­ paths. The depth of soil in the bed depends on the crops you want to grow in it. A bed for herbs or shallow-rooted annuals could be four to six inches deep. For 'shrubs or larger vegetable crops like tomatoes. 10-12 inches would be better. The shape of the bed depends only on your imagination in dealing with your landscape and gardening needs. Retaining walls may be straight, crooked or curved. The soil may be sloped or terraced, as in a strawberry pyramid. Native garden soil is not the Ann Samann Continued from col. 3 bottom of pagebest choice for a raised bed. a porous soil made of topsoil, peat moss or compost, and sand would be a good combination. Because the soil in a raised bed tends to warm up quicker than the earth beneath it, crops may begin to yield sooner. An advantage of raised beds over containers for gardening is that the beds are not as quick to dry out as the soil in containers ex- posed on all sides to drying summer breezes. All the advantages of raised bed gardening must be weighed against the work and materials involved in constructing them. Building the retaining walls and hauling the soil to fill in the beds can be a lot of work and unless raised bed gardening is your only option, it’s unnecessary labor that could easily be avoided.

(Maple Valley News Photo) Life and property security programs offered in1402 by Susan Hinckley The above buildings are no longer standing on Main Street in Nashville, but the Nashville Businessowners Association hopes to have a supermarket fill the vacant lot in the near future. Two important programs, one to save lives and the other to secure property, are being of­ fered free to Nashville residents through the effort of Omer Dean of Thornapple Lake Road. Both programs are under the spon­ sorship of the Commission On Aging, coordinated with the Barry County Sheriff’s Depart­ ment, the Michigan State Police and the Nashville Police Department. The first program, “Vial of Life”, was instituted and financed by a grant through COA, under the direction of Mrs. Eloise Wolfe. Limited to persons 60 years or older, this program is especially essential for in- dividuals with chronic health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. Under this program the medical history, current medication, physicians name, and next-of-kin information of a senior citizen is listed on a special form, put into a plastic capsule, and placed in a designated area in their refrigerator.

The dinner, an annual event honoring outgoing village officials was attended by current and incoming councilmen, of­ ficials and village employees. Following the dinner (which, incidentally, is paid for in­ dividually and does not cost the village taxpayers anything) presentations were made by Tim Smith, Director of Public Ser­ vices and Safety, to outgoing Village President George Frith and President Pro-Tem Ray Hinckley in appreciation for their service to Nashville. Frith has been village president for the past four years and was a councilman for four years prior, for a total of eight years of ser­ vice. Hinckley has been a councilman for the past four years, serving as president pro­ tein for the past two.

This is more than the 1977 total of 706 gallons even though the season was three weeks shorter, due to a delay caused by latewinter wbather. The syrup is considered of a very high quality this year. Production ended on April 7th when the last collection and boiling was completed in the village. Nashville is very fortunate to have this community project and the dedicated volunteers who put in so many long hours of work to make it a success.

However, though the company has changed names you will still find it in the same location with the same friendly folks there — Ben Mason and son, John. Twenty-eight members and guests of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce met at the Steakhouse Restaurant last Wednesday evening for their April dinner meeting. President John Mason introduced the guest speaker, Mr. Tim Reardon, who is affiliated with the' Travel Bureau for the Department of Commerce in Lansing. Mr. Reardon gave an interesting talk on the subject of tourism, pointing out that it ranks as the second highest industry in the state, with four billion dollars being spent annually in Michigan by tourists. He stressed that Nashville was in a prime location on M-66, as we are within a threehour drive for twenty million people. “An average tourist will spend $25 to $30 per day" said Reardon “and a friendly attitude by service people costs nothing, but will detain travelers longer in a given area”. His agency maintains a toll-free “hot line” to 18 states, dispensing free in­ formation to potential tourists about our state. Nashville could be included in this program by merely furnishing the necessary data about our village, he said. This information includes special events, acactivites, commodations and history. “Historical significance is really many important now to travelers” he said, and his agency “receives many calls from the state of Kentucky and also the Chicago area for general historical trips throughout Michigan”. Reardon added that his agency would be glad to work Sea Nymph Aluminum fishing boats and canoes in stock and ready for the water! with the Chamber in developing a brochure about Nashville and suggested a special committee be appointed to act as a liaison for this purpose. .

Mr. Richard Heining of the Gideon Bible Society spoke at the Worship Service last Sunday morning at the United Methodist Church. Mr. Heining is from Springport. The Golden-Agers, a senior citizen group of the United Methodist Church, met last Friday for a noon potluck lun­ cheon at the Community House of the church. Rev. and Mrs. Leonard Putnam of Nashville United Methodist Church attended a “Conference Meeting of Commission on Archives and History" at the Marshall United Methodist Church last Sunday from 4 to 8 p.m. Speaker at the conference, which dealt with the history of the United Methodist Church in the Marshall area, was Dr. Ronald Brunger of Rochester. The Nashville ambulance responded to a call last week Monday, in the forenoon, when a three-year old boy fell through a glass storm door while running at his residence .next door to the Fargo Service Station (the old Dr. Morris residence). The boy was transported to Pennock Hospital emergency room for treatment, which required several stiches on his face. The Nashville Fire Department was called for a tanker assist to Vermontville around midnight last Tuesday. Help was needed to battle a house fire located about four miles northeast of Ver­ montville. Despite the additional water supply, reports are that the house was pretty much of a loss. Condolences to the family of George A.

Michigan Bell �The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Wednesday April 19, 1978 - Page 4 NASHVILLE NEWS - continued the Nashville area by Omer Dean of Thornapple Lake Road. These programs, basically aimed at saving lives and property of senior citizens, are under the sponsorship of the Commission On Aging in Hastings, the Barry County Sheriff’s Department, the Michigan State Police and our local Police Department. Mr. Dean, who was also present at the meeting, asked for the council’s assistance in locating all Nash­ ville area senior citizens in need of these free services. A special story elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News gives full details on both these important programs. President Harold Christiansen appointed Thomas Leonard to fill the vacancy of trustee on the Putnam Public Library Board, created by the resignation last month of Mrs. Tim (Bessie) Smith. Mr. Leonard’s ap­ pointment marks the first time a man has ever been appointed to the board. Leonard, who lives on State Street, is a writer. Tim Smith, Director of Public Services and Safety, announced that Clean-Up Week in Nashville will be April 24th through 28th. Anything securely sacked or bundled and left at the curb will be picked up. Items must be easily handled by two men, but may include used appliances. Smith also reported on new regulations which may soon come into effect that would put very strict testing requirements on our drinking water system. Bill Eastman attended a meeting last week in Lansing pertaining to the new rules. Smith said that, if passed, the law would put a very severe financial hardship on small villages as the stipulated chemical testing would be ex­ pensive. He advised the council members to write their legislators regarding this potential problem. The playground equipment recently constructed by village Green Thumb employee, Ovid Price, has been placed in Putnam Park and has drawn a good response from the youngsters. A DPW Committee meeting will take under consideration a proposal to use specially colored garbage bags, to be purchased by the user from the village in lieu of a set garbage service fee. It was suggested this would be a more equitable system for senior citizens, as they seldom have more than one sack for pickup but still pay the same fee as larger families. Ed Solomon, Director .of —NOTICE— The Castleton * Maple Grove - Nashville Ambulance Service is now taking Applications... for day and night time ambulance attendants. Due to the increased amount of fire runs and required training it is our intent to run fire and ambulance as two seperate units. Applications can be obtained from Judd Cooley, Larry Decker or Doug Yarger. We would like applications to be in by April 25. '____________ Chief Doug Yarger Planning for Barry County spoke to the village council last Thursday about a Community Development Block Grant, available under Housing and Urban Development. The program is primarily aimed at housing rehabilitation for low income, elderly individuals. Eligible homeowners could receive an outright grant (not a loan) of up to $5,000 for home improvements. Repair of plumbing, heating and electrical systems plus siding, roofing and insulation are some of the primary improvements covered. A county wide survey showed 1,500 homes needing obvious repair and 350 were in the Nash­ ville-Castleton Township area. “The percentage of homes to be renovated is greater in Nashville than any other area in the county” said Solomon “as fiftyfive percent of the homes need some repair”. (Orangeville Township was successfully funded last year.) The program would cost the village nothing, he added, and it could mean a potential $200,000 to $300,000 coming into Nashville. Moderate and low income families not in the senior citizen bracket would also be eligible, based on income and assets. To avoid quick-profit schemes, a homeowner would have to refund a portion of the grant if he did not remain in his home for three years following renovation. Other community projects possible under this program include razing of old buildings, constructing recreational park facilities, replacing sanitary landfills, building senior citizen recreational centers; repairing bridges, dam and spillways, and certain streets. Nashville is in a top-priority situation because of our need and our obvious efforts to improve the community. An interest on the part of Nashville residents will enhance our chances of obtaining the federal funds, Solomon said. He and the council encourage village residents to attend a public hearing, on April 24th at 2:00 p.m. in the Barry County Courthouse, to show support for the program. The village council has decided not to participate in Mayor’s Exchange Day this year. Nash­ ville had been slated to exchange Mayors with Ovid, Michigan on May 22nd. The council generally agreed that the time and effort involved in the program were greater than benefits derived. President Christiansen pointed out that if the program were a two-day exchange more good would be gained from it, as each Mayor would then have the op­ portunity to meet and accompany the visiting Mayor. The program is a traditional part of the annual Michigan Week festivities held in May. ACTION-ADS CASH FOR LAND CONTRACTS Any type of real estate throughout Michigan. No com­ missions or costs.

TEACHER LICENSES - Mem­ bers of the House Education Committee have decided to take no action on HB 4242 or HB 5109, revising teacher licensing procedures, due in large part to totally opposite views by Michigan’s two major teacher organizations. DRIVERS’ ED - The Attorney General has ruled that students under 16 must be allowed to take drivers education classes in local schools so they can qualify for an unrestricted license; they could then get the license when they turn 16. BUDGET VOTE - The House has approved a proposal which would require the State Civil Service Department to justify its budget to the legislature as do the other state departments. Presently, the constitution provides that Civil Service will get a minimum of one percent of the total state payroll. If the Senate also ap­ proves, this question will be on the fall ballot. MANHOLE BILL - The House will soon vote on HB 5142, which would essentially require that another person stand guard outside while someone is working underground in a manhole. This was approved last session on a party-line vote and vetoed by the Governor. Opponents say that present safety rules are adequate and that this would drive up costs for utility customers. PONTOON LICENSE - Now in the House is SB 188, which sets fee schedules for the licensing of pontoon boats. The Senate removed a provision to give free licenses to boats serving in the Coast Guard auxiliary, on the grounds that the waterways fund would thus lose $10,000 a year.

EMBERS and GUESTS Khotso Oa Lesotho: I'm sitting on the back porch of our “home.” We hope for the remainder of the two years in Lesotho. We have been here two months and this is where the real Lesotho is. When we were ready to come, all the Peace Corps vehicles were in the repair shop, so I asked the NTTC for the use of a vehicle to move us here. On Saturday morning, Feb. 4 at 7:30, we began. 6 people (we were then being delighted by the company of a German girl, foreign ex­ change student on loan from a Canadian family) the driver, Ntate Modesi, the four of us and a 4 month old puppy. “Hector” is his name. We inherited him from a Danish family who were^ returning to Denmark. It was quite a ride. We had to stop twice for construction. That’s the big project right now in Lesotho. Paving the full length of the mountain road from Maseru to Q acha’s Nek. West to East. After many stops and 11 hours, we arrived, hungry, tired and really not ready to unload. But we did and have not regretted the move yet. Something about the house we’re in. It was built in 1932, a Lesotho Evangelical parish house. The LEC was in govern­ mental power at that time, then in the 1960’s there was a coup and the Roman Catholics gained power and are still there. The LEC churches and church schools around the country have suffered with lack of support and money. The house has 12 rooms. Three bedrooms, a guest room, two large sunporches, kitchen, pantry, living room, dining room, bathroom and toilet. The last two are typically British and are not one in the same room. It took 15 litres of paint and lots of elbow grease to make it livable. It had been empty for three years before we moved in. We are about 3,000 m. up in the air (10,000) feet, the sun, is highly dangerous, close, and clear air to shine through! We have about two acres for Bob to research varieties of seeds. He’s testing some American seeds, vegetable and field crop, for winter har­ diness and “fall” germination. It is fall here, and we are expecting a frost within the month of April. The people say during July and August, there is snow on the Drakensburg all the time. We are not that far from that mountain range, we are in the Maluti range. We’ve got root crops and early vegetables in hoping to see how they grow. We have had lettuce, radishes and greens, so far. Not bad when you consider this time of year here is equal to November at home. And it does get cold here. The city of Maseru is 5,000 feet in the air, so it’s not the tropical African weather everyone thinks of. We have lots of cold, clear running (gravity fed) mountainpure water. We use kettles to heat water. We have a wood-coal cookstove (Lesotho has few trees so we depend on coal from South Africa), a primus stove and a 2 burner paraffin stove with an oven that sits on top. You can’t buy any fresh fruit or vegetables, or any baked foods at the local “cafe”. We have to grow or bake our own. Candles and lanterns supply the light source. Don’t talk to me of romantic candlelit dinners. Ha! Three smaller villages make Continued on page 11 — You're never too young to look good ■ let Mike find the look for you. . .

National Hospital Week is an appropriate time to start doing what you can to stay out of the hospital,” he concluded.

Scatter the seeds over the wet towel and cover the whole pdn with the plastic wrap. This keeps in both heat and moisture. Then set the pan in a warm place that's not in direct sun. The seeds should germinate within a few days, depending on the crqp, Price says. Tomatoes should take about three days, peppers five days and lettuce one day. A seed is ready for planting as soon as a white root has emerged. Use sterile potting soil or a synthetic growth medium to avoid losing the seedlings to damping-off disease, Price ad­ vises.

Wednesday April 19, 1978 - Page 8 Eaton Farmi and Home March of Dimes budgets more than $2.3 million to continue genetic services in'79 grants totaling $33,931 annually. All are for a projected five year period. Public reaction to earlier reports of a cut-off in March of Dimes funds for genetic services was intense, Dr. Salisbury said, because the Foundation is the country’s chief source of such support, and because of sharply divided opinions about abortion. One type of genetic services funded by the March of Dimes is prenatal diagnosis of certain birth defects. There has been unfounded speculation that if the Foundation were ceasing to support genetic services, in­ cluding prenatal diagnosis, the move resulted from pressure by anti-abortion groups, some of whom maintain that the in­ formation gained from this procedure might cause some New York City, April 14 — Grants from The National Foundation-March of Dimes for genetic services in 1979 will be essentially the same as this year’s level, according to projected figures newly released by the voluntary health agency. The Foundation plans to continue 80 genetic services grants totaling approximately $2,346,000 next year. “In addition, applications to start new genetic services are expected and we will fund those as monies are available,” said Dr. Arthur J. Salisbury, the Foundation’s Vice President for Medical Services. “As soon as final funding requests for 1979 have been received and evaluated, we will be able to provide a firm budget reflecting our ongoing commitment to genetic services.” The 1979 projection compares to a total of $2,549,114 in 82 genetic services grants for 1978. March of Dimes medical service grants are normally made for a maximum five-year period to launch innovative programs, with the expectation that this is enough time to prove their value and enable them to become self-supporting or win government aid. “However, our support will continue to be needed until additional sources of funds are available,” Dr. Salisbury said. Although many genetic service grants are approaching their fifth year, he says, some are just beginning. For example, five new genetic services grants were initiated January 1, 1978.

In fact, we are solidly backing expansion of such ser­ vices,” Salisbury said. “We believe that prenatal diagnosis provides an alternative to abortion and therefore tends to discourage it. “Most prospective parents seeking prenatal diagnosis learn that the risk of the birth defect they fear is much lower than they had anticipated. Even among those for whom the risk is great enough to justify prenatal diagnosis, more than 97 per cent learn that the birth defect in question is not present in the unborn baby. Thus, these couples can be assured that they need not even consider the possiblity of abortion,” Dr. Salisbury said.

(Maple Valley News Photo) Nashville residents may receive home improvement grants— Ed Solomon, Director of Planning for Barry County spoke to the Nashville village council last Thursday evening about a Community Development Block Grant, available under Housing and Urban Development. The program is primarily aimed at housing rehabilitation for low income, elderly individuals. Eligible homeowners could receive an outright grant (not a loan) of up to $5,000 for home improvements. Repair of plumbing, heating and electrical systems plus siding, roofing and insulation are some of the primary improvements covered. A countywide survey showed 1,500 homes in Barry County needing obvious repair, and 350 were in the Nashville-Castleton Township area. “The percentage of homes to be renovated is greater in Nashville than any other area in the county” said Solomon “as fifty-five percent of the homes need some repair”. (Orangeville Township was successfully funded last year, with the Block Grant from HUD.) The program would cost the village nothing, he added, and it could mean a potential $200,000 to $300,000 coming into Nashville. Moderate and low income families not in the senior citizen bracket would also be eligible, based on income and assets. To avoid quick-profit schemes, a homeowner would have to refund a portion of the grant if he did not remain in his home for three, years following renovation. If he left within the first six months, he would be required to refund 100 percent of the grant. Other community projects possible under this program include razing of old buildings, constructing recreational park facilities, replacing sanitary landfills, building senior citizen recreational centers; repairing bridges, dams and spillways, and certain streets. Nashville is in a top-priority category because of the need, and the obvious efforts to improve the community. An interest on the part of Nashville residents will enhance the village’s chance of obtaining the federal funds, said Solomon. The village council passed a resolution in support of the program, and are encouraging village residents to attend public hearing on April 24th, at 2:00 p.m. in the Barry County Courthouse, to show support for the program.

Nashville, Wednesday April 19, 1978 - Page 11 continued from page 5- Kalenbacks up the larger village called Mohlanapeng. There is an LEC church, one early primary school, (just a building with forms, no books, no materials, one blackboard) and the late primary school is held in the church. Talk to these people about utilization of buildings. Americans could learn a lot about dual-purpose building. One Sunday at church, we witnessed the baptism of about 20 babies and children and also a marriage. The bride-price is still paid. It used to be about 15 to 30 cattle, but with the inflation everywhere, especially in the price of animals, it is now the normal fee of from 2 to 5 cattle, plus maybe some sheep and goats. This is a guarantee that the wife proves fit, can bear children and will be a good worker. If she proves false in any one of these, the family of the groom can take their cattle back and the man just leaves the woman. The people come from many miles on foot for church meetings, or pitsos (meetings in general). They bring their papa (cold hard lumps of cooked corn meal or green niealies to roast (field corn that is very hard, but surprisingly very good) and stay all day. Women on foot with babies on their backs, held on by their multi-purpose blankets, men on horseback, girl children and young balishana’s (boys too young to herd cattle, yet). A local teacher and a local area chief came to us about one month ago, and asked if we would help them begin evening classes for herdboys, and-a preschool. The herdboys begin bringing the cattle down from the mountain ranges about April 1. The school then could operate from April until about September when they take the herds back back to to the the mountains. The herdboys take a supply of corn meal, and do theirr own cooking, etc. No clothes to wash. They bathe in streams and usually go in with their clothes on. One wardrobe, no problem. When the fields of corn begin to ripen, they usually help them­ selves to the com in the nightime, roasting it over a fire. Anyway, back to what I started. When I went to Maseru in March, I inquired into materials, and for the sfunds uchools.available, Wvhen I r,eturned, nothitwo wng had been done. We sat back and waited, and found out why. It seems as though the local chief an local oca teacher had not conand sulted the area chief. That is a dangerous breach of protocol. People have been given one day or less, notice to leave the area for not consulting with the chief before beginning projects. Anyway, we are to sit and do nothing until chief Mathelira comes to us. 1 April is very close and. nothing will be started but there eresasono is also nothing ngwe we can do. The Lesotho governmentt is ad­ vocating doing away with the chief system, because of their absolute pow,ers, but as yet has not found a way. The government is in the process of setting up pre schools, and herdboy classes are in the research stage. The boys range in age from 10 to 18 and have had little schooling. At best, one or two years. The only place for these uneducated men to go are in the mines in South Africa. Lesotho is doing her best to keep her young men at home, but at present, it’s not good enough. The trucks are still loaded to go to Sout rca, and nes at South Africa, and te the lines at te the border stations last Christmas were staggering, miners coming home for the holidays. Through a chance remark I made to a Canadian friend, we had the pleasure of the company of a German girl for a month. She was spending a year with the Canadians and they were due to leave Lesotho January 28. Saskia didn’t feel she had seen all of Lesotho. We became fast friends and I asked her if she’d like to go to the mountains with us until she was scheduled to fly back to Germany to join her family forr a Swiss skiing holiday. She said “Yes,” and she came. Whata truly nice person. Sandy and she became fast friends and she delighted the whole family with her good nature, intelligence and level of maturity. Saskia had written her father and told him of the things we wanted to do while in the mountains. He sent us R250.00 for whatever project we would like to see happen. We’re hanging on to it and we think we’ll use it to buy lumber for Bob to help build a waiting room for the dispensary. The dispensary! Indirectly that's how we came to have a house in Mohlanapeng. There is the church and Ntate Thakoli is the minister. The mission parish, is of course, for the minister and his family. It happens that his wife is the nurse at the dispen­ sary, and there is a house with that also. Mme Thakoli prefers to be closer to her patients so the family lives in the dispensary house. The family consists of Ntate Thakoli and Mme Thakoli and seven children. Ofwhom only three are still at home. With secondary schools being only boarding type, and few and "far between, it becomes a necessary for kids to leave their homes if they want to further their education. One older girl is in college in Roma, two boys are at secondary schools in the country, one boy is in the mines in Johannesburg. We are about 8 hours by land over from Maseru, and getting to the next largest town to get transport is usually a problem.) We have ridden horses to Thaba Tseka and caught a lorry going to Maseru. Some in the family have ridden on top a load of wool from our house to Maseru. I ride horseback to Thaba Tseka once a month to meet with my in-service teachers, and enjoy it. I think that’s about it for now. Sala hantle and sure hope the spring brings better weather for you.

Man with a thumb of green Cleo Lingg, a resident of Mead-O-Acres Trailer Park at Thornapple Lake, has been a plant enthusiast for less than one year, but has already been considered by many as a "man with a green thumb". Last summer he purchased a one-foot geranium that is now 52 inches tall. That same summer he started with an 8 inch wandering jew that has grown to 60 inches and nearly extends from a hanging pot to the floor of his trailer. "I use fertilizer and feed the plants "Black Magic" plant food about every two weeks," said Cleo, revealing his secret. During a visit to his trailer, you may feel that you've entered a corner of some tropical jungle. "The plants keep me busy and I like their company," smiled Cleo.

It may be cheaper to rebuild in a new area than to go through expensive demolition and rejuvenation, but this is a sort of “foul it and flee it” philosophy that obviously cannot go on forever. Conserving agricultural land and maintaining the viability of old urban areas are opposite heads of the same coin—and a real challenge to soceity. Eligible senior citizens and low-income people who have not applied for home heating assistance payments are urged to do so by State Senator Richard Allen (R-Alma). The deadline for application is April 30, 1978. “The Legislature appropriated money last year to help people on low and fixed incomes pay for their ever-increasing fuel costs,” Senator Allen explained. “Surprisingly, only about 20 percent of those eligible have made application thus far. Ac­ cording to our figures, about 150,000 families still may apply for, and receive, up to $200 to be applied toward this past winter’s treating bills,” he continued.. Eligibility is determined based on annual income and liquid assets below $15,000, and size of family. The payments will range from $100 to $200 per household. Excluded from the program are those currently receiving AFDC and General Assistance, and students claimed as tax dependents on 1977 income tax returns. “If you think you may qualify for this home heating assistance program, I urge you to contact your County Social Services Department now to determine your eligibility and the amount of your payment,” Senator Allen emphasized. “Time is running out and once the deadline has passed, no further applications will be accepted.” Boys track on runThe Maple Valley boys Varsity track team opened its season with a convincing 104-54 win over Pewamo-Westphalia.

The experts are split on the question of how much change is coming. Some optimistically believe farmers can use their traditional ingenuity to "unhook” from conventional energy sup­ plies and become energy self­ sufficient on the farm. The more conservative feel conservation is the best answer. In a new three-part series, Energy & Agriculture, Michigan Farmer investigates what the nation’s top experts say Michigan farmers should do to prepare for the inevitable depletion of fossil fuels. These articles are part of a special 10-topic package, “Farming *88,” designed to in­ form Michigan farmers of coming changes in numerous areas. In terms of energy, modern farming technology is threatened by the increased shortage of fossil fuels and resulting high prices. Though agriculture directly used only 2 to 4 percent of the nation’s total energy, the use of nitrogen fertilizer alone (made with dwindling supplies of natural gas) accounts for onethird of the total energy used in the Corn Belt. Added to that, farm chemicals and gasoline and diesel fuel tie modern agriculture to fossil fuels. One thing the experts do agree on is that farmers can’t go back to the past. According to Cornell University’s David Pimentel, the return to hunting and gathering food, as man did 99 percent of the time he’s been on earth, would mean all the land in the U.S. would be needed just to feed half the population of Boston. To “progress” to the “cut and burn” agricultural stage would require 2,000 hours of labor just to feed a family of three today’s American diet. Instead, nationally know environmentalist Barry Commoner feels Michigan farmers should sieze this opportunity to leap into the future by raising a new crop— their own energy. Commoner insists farmers must move away from their “addiction” to nonrenewable energy sources in favor of renewable energy sources such as solar power. “The sun can’t up its rates,” he said, nor is the supply of sunlight likely to decrease in \the' foreseeable future. In an exclusive interview with Michigan Farmer, Commoner also said that by moonshining grain into, alcohol, farmers could use this to replace 20 percent of the gasoline now used in farm equipment. Farmers can also build "digesters” to make 'methane from livestock manure. When compressed, this liquid methane could be used to run engines to generate electricity on the farm, with waste heat pumped into farm buildings, he said. Environmentalist John Steinhart from the University of Wisconsin urged farmers and rural residents to investigate windmills for home heating. “Put a windmill on the best site, then pipe the electricity produced as heat into storage in rocks or water—some heat-resistant element. Store the heat and use it as needed.” Windmills look especially promising in Michigan, he said, because high winds normally occur just when demand for heat goes up. Steinhart said this is what makes solar questionable for home heating in the Midwest. Just as the weather gets cooler in the fall, the amount of sunlight available declines. Another promising idea for energy self-sufficiency is the use of wood chips. Senator Robert Dole of Kansas said he’s in­ vestigating how government can spur development of automatic home furnaces that can use chips. New tree varieties can mature enough in about three years to become a source of home heating fuel, if converted into chips. This means it would take only five acres for a home to be self-sufficient ifheated with wood chips, compared to the 20 acres it would take to produce enough logs. Other farm experts see a shift to conservation as the key to economic survival on the family farm. will “Change be evolutionary, not revolutionary,” University’s Purdue Otto Doering is quoted as predicting. According to the Council for Agricultural Science and Teechnology (CAST) at Iowa State University, farmers could save about 600 million gallons of gasoline and diesel fuel a year just by improving operation and maintenance of present equipment. Converting all farm equipment to diesel could save another 600 million gallons. Farmers also use large amounts of propane gas to dry crops, specifically corn, to avoid mold problems in storage. About 40 million gallons of propane could be saved, according to CAST, if farmers had enough capital to switch to dryeration Julia Clements named outstanding business student at Maple Valley (low-energy) systems. If that high-moisture corn were fed directly to swine instead of stored for later use, CAST estimated another 37 million gallons of propane could be ^aved. Farm chemicals will play a role on farms in the future, but by using smaller amounts, with less fuel needed for application, coupled with more efficient manufacture of pesticides, the equivalent of 100 million gallons of gasoline could be saved. Purdue’s Doering cautioned that though energy-saving technologies are tempting, “(Remember that) there are very good biological, engineering, and economic reasons why we are what we are today. The dramatic increase in production in the last two decades has depended upon abundant and relatively inex­ pensive supplies of energy.” For family farms to survive into the next decade, movingaway from fossil fuels will require innovation. As the Michigan Farmer article said in summation, “The historical ingenuity and creativity of the American farmer will be given yet another acid test as fossil fuels grow scarce. Only the farmer can provide the final answer, but the best het is that he will again find a way to cope.” Julia Clements, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Darrell L. Clements of 5431 Guy Road, R No. 2 Nash­ ville, has been selected as the outstanding business student at Maple Valley High School for the current year. She was selected by a vote of the students in her office block class. The vote was based on the student’s classroom effort and attitude, and sincere interest in pursuing a career in the office occupations area. She received her certificate of academic achievement at the annual Education Night of the Battle Creek-Kalamazoo Chapter of the Administrative Management Society. AMS is an international, professional organization dedicated to im­ proving the art of management and to communicating the needs of business to education in­ stitutions. The dinner was held April 13, 1978 at Kellogg Community College. Rev. David Graham gave a very enlightening speech. Outstanding business students from many area schools received the certificate of academic achievement from the Administrative Management Society. Julia is presently enrolled in an office block class, and Shorthand II. She is hoping to get an office job after she graduates in June. Nadine Cole was the recipient of the AMS Award last year. but Julia Clements Presently, she is attending Lansing Business Institute and iis working part time at Aluminum Extrusion in the shipping and receiving department in Charlotte.

Mr. Dean, who along with Sgt. Ronald McDonald of the Michigan State Police spoke to the Nashville village council last week, said he is attempting to place a “Vial of Life” in the home of every Nashville senior citizen. The service is free, he said, and particularly important for those who live alone or stay alone for extended periods ofJime. The second program, “Operation Identification”, in­ volves inscribing identification numbers (either the owner’s drivers license or social security number) on personal property items. With these numbered inscriptions on property, a thief finds it virtually impossible to sell stolen good and there is no way the numbers can be removed. The program, which was started early last fall in Barry County, is presently being carried out nationwide. Crime rates where it has been im­ plemented have dropped noticeably. Dean, who has been deputized by the Barry County Sheriff for this duty, has already completed “Operation Identification” in approximately fifty Nashville homes. Each home receiving the service is furnished with a door sticker warning would-beburglars that the possessions within have been marked for identification. The electrical engraving equipment used for this project belongs to the law enforcement agencies, and can be borrowed by individuals not in the senior citizen age group who may wish to mark their own possessions. The Barry County Sheriff’s Department recently received a grant to establish a special Crime Prevention Unit, which covers “Operation Identification” and related security programs. Advice on locks and other measures to secure property are available from the Department, and Mr. Dean will help senior citizens with questions they may have pertaining to home security . Dean spends about an hour on each call, and is presently con­ centrating on reaching all senior citizens in the community. Individuals interested in more information regarding either of these free programs may call the Commission On Aging in Hastings at 948-8061 or contact the Barry County Sheriff’s Department, the Michigan State Police, or the Nashville Police Department. predated and will be used, not abused, for the betterment of Nashville and the surrounding community. I wish to extend my thanks to Janice and Jerry Johnson for getting the survey out and compiling the results. It’s this kind of dedication and effort I have been receiving from all businessowner members that makes me confident that Nash­ ville is a town on the grow.” The proposed building for the new proposed business in Nash­ ville will be a steel structure with a dome-roof that would allow for the continuation of the same building both north and south on Main Street should any of the adjoining buildings be destroyed by fire or other damage. “What we’d set out to do is becoming a reality because of the complete cooperation of the Engagement Riverside Development Cor­ poration, the Nashville Village Announced Council, and the Businessowners Association,” said Furlong. The Nashville Businessowners Association was organized in late October of last year to rejuvinate the downtown business climate, and has been active ever since. First of all, the association along with the Nashville Housing Corporation, purchased the Pfaff Hardware property realizing that the rear portion of this property held the key to development of a parking area behind the stores. Last month the village bought this piece of property, gaining complete ownership of the entire parking area for the first time. “We are appreciative of the Maple Valley News for getting the questionaire out in con• junction with the paper”, said Steward - Atherton Furlong. “We also appreciate the Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Steward of efforts reporter Randy NorNashville, Michigan and Mr. and thover has put towards the Mrs. Ralph Atherton of Mulliken, publication on what we are doing Michigan are pleased to an­ that has been very helpful.

Maple Valley School Board approves furniture purchaseAt the regular meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education held Monday, April 10, the board members approved the purchase of school furniture in the amount of $3,881.91. This will include one hundred eighty-five chairs and four folding tables at the Jr.-Sr. High School; three mobile tables with benches attached and one two-pedestal desk at the Kellogg Elementary ; one round table and fifty folding chairs at the Fuller St. Elementary, forty-five chairs at the Maplewood Elementary and four four-drawer files which may be used in any of the buildings. Nominating petitions were filed by incumbent Elam Rockwell, Russell Geary, and RusSell Furlong for the two positions that will be open on the board of education July 1. The deadline for filing petitions was Monday, April 10. The election will be held on Monday, June 12. It was the decision of the board niembers not to hold any millage vote at the June annual election. The general fund balance June 30th is expected to be ap­ proximately $300,000 which could vary depending upon the state aid reimbursement in areas such as special education and tran­ sportation. It is anticipated that the school district will operate a deficit budget during the 1978-79 school year, and the amount of deficit will be deducted from the general fund balance. The amount of deficit could easily vary depending upon the state aid act that is approved, completion of negotiations with all employee groups, and the enrollment for the 1978-79 school year. It is estimated at this time that the possible deficit for the coming school year could be approximately $100,000. The board members accepted a letter of resignation from Jane VanOstenberg. She has been on a maternity leave of absence during the 1977-78 school year, and she informed the board members that she didn't desire to return to her teaching position next year. Approval was given Michigan Bell Telephone Company regarding the installation of an underground cable along M-79 in front of Fuller St. Elementary. The board members voted not to renew the contract of Jackie Peek as girls varsity basketball coach. Charles Viele and John Viele will present the diplomas at the graduation activities scheduled for Sunday, June 4. The allocation board forms were approved showing a request for 10.88 mills from the allocation board which will be meeting later in April with final action to be taken in May. General fund bills in the amount of $27,541.11 were ap­ proved for payment. The debt retirement payment in the amount of $60,020.53 was approved for payment. This in­ cluded $45,000 payment on the principal, 14,953.53 interest, and 67.00 handling charges. The March 24 payroll in the amount of $73,831.59 and the April 7 payroll in the amount of $70,833.73 were approved for payment ahd transfer to the payroll account. From page 10 col. 2- “These communities are working on the natural assets which they have, it’s good for business development.” Reirdon said the travel bureau maintains a toll-free “hot line" to several mid-western states, offering free information to potential tourists. Nashville could be included by furnishing data about the village such as special events, activities, over­ night accomadations and history. He _ said the bureau would be pleased to assist the Nashville Chamber in developing a brochure about the area. Reirdon said out-of-state travelers visit Michigan for resorting, sightseeing, visiting friends and relatives, business, recreation (hunting, fishing etc.). and special events. �tlje Most Beautiful Daj/ of ^our bife start with thefinest WEDDING STATIONERY choose from our selection of WEDDING INVITATIONS • WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENTS • THANK YOU CARDS RECEPTION CARDS • NAPKINS • WEDDING MATCHES • ACCESSORIES Sample books may be taken out overnight for selection at your convenience �The Maple Valley News.

Last month, the governors made a bet on the Michigan State-Kentucky basketball game in the semi-finals of the NCAA Basketball Tournament, which MSU lost by a narrow margin.

Milliken arrived in Vermontville to pick up his payment and was met graciously by the local natives. The syrup was donated compliments of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Producers Association along with two boxes of maple syrup products, including a pint of syrup, maple candy and maple cream. The syrup was presented to Gov.

The school, which consisted of 66 hours of training, was conducted by the Firefighters Training Council and taught by Mike Kelley, a certified instructor and firefighter from Middleville. The classes, which started in early October 1977, were held in weekly 3-hour sessions for 22 weeks on Monday evenings at the Nash­ ville fire barn.

The Michigan Pharmacists Association (MPA) urges everyone to observe the week of April 23-29, 1978, as Michigan Pharmacist Week, by getting to know their pharmacist. “The public public need need for professional guidance in the proper use of prescription and nonprescription medications is well established,’’ Governor Milliken declared in his recent Michigan Pharmacist Week proclamation. If you think you are helping yourself by taking more than the recommended dose of a drug, or if you take a combination of different drugs without the knowledge of your physician or pharmacist, then you are a “medicine misuser.” “People need to be aware that pharmacists are qualified to give safe, effective advice about the. use of medicines,” MPA President Dewaine Robinson said. “The monitoring of drug therapy is a pharmacist’s most vital function, and one which the public should recognize and take advantage of.” The Michigan Pharmacists Association would like to stress that pharmacists are~~the most readily accessible members of the health care team. People Action Ads have a right to know about the professional services available to them through their pharmacist. So select your pharmacist as carefully as you would select your doctor or dentist, and become acquainted with him-her. In this busy, “scheduled” modern world of ours, it’s comforting to realize no appointment is necessary to see a pharmacist!

Kelsey, 34-year old Sheriff of Eaton County, today announced that he is a candidate for the State Senate from the 30th District. Kelsey, a resident of Eaton Rapids, made his an- nouncement at a morning new conference in Lansing. Later in the day, he traveled to Alma and Owosso to reaffirm his intentions to seek a seat in the State Senate. Kelsey said he sees a real need WE CARE ABOUT YOU We recognize that funeral service is a calling with high responsibilities, requiring strict service standards and fair and honorable dealing with every family. It requires that all confidential matters of a business or personal nature be’held inviolate, and that those entrusted to us shall always receive respectful and reverent care. 'VoqiFUNERAL HOME Nashville Phone 852-0840 for quality representation in the 30th District. “The people of our area need better representation than they have had in the recent years,” he said. “The present state senator is more concerned about issues such as statewide zoning, than issues facing the people of the district,” he added. “I am concerned about the plight' of the^mid-Michigan far­ mer and the small businessman in our area. I want to represent the people of the 30th District. While statewide problems must be addressed, I think its more important to work on our local issues at the present time,” Kelsey said. Calling crime one of the largest problems facing government today, Kelsey cited his law en­ forcement background saying, that if elected he would see that monies were directed to rural police and sheriffs’ departments and not just to the big cities like Detroit. “The Legislature has forgotten that the rural areas also have a crime problem... not as big as the inner-city problem, but nonetheless, a problem that must be brought under control before it gets any bigger,” he said. prior to being elected Eaton County Sheriff, he served eight years as a State policeman. He is married and lives in Eaton Rapids. In addition to his duties as the Eaton County Sheriff, Kelsey also serves as the Vice Chairman of the Region 6 Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, a member of the Legislative and Juvenile Justice Committee of the Michigan Sheriff’s Association, and a trustee of the Central Michigan Law Enforcement Association.

Steve is presently looking for a place in the Vermontville area to live. Besides pizza, the bar will also serve hamburgs, french fries, chili and homemade soup. The Raymonds have also doubled the liquor stock. ’ The Raymonds have torn out the bandstand, resurfaced the pool table, added new pinball machines and pool cues, and generally rearranged and cleaned the tavern. They have hired Middy Wixson and Jean Moncada to help out as waitress-bartenders. The Raymonds are now trying for Sunday openings and are currently staying open. In the 1950 and 1954 village elections, it was voted that there be no bars open in Vermontville on Sunday. "State law says such a vote must be taken in a November 7 election, which these were not," says Steve. "So we're confident that we will be able to stay open on Sundays legally."

To illustrate this point, let’s examine what happens as urban sprawl takes its toll on our state’s agricultural land. When a rural area, perhaps near a city or in an attractive northern location, first begins to attract some outside investment interest, this is often welcomed by both landowners and local officials alike. A farmer may decide to sell two or three one-acre parcels of his land to a developer at a price three or four times what the land is worth as farmland. The extra income is appreciated, of course. A developer may even buy a forty. Though he does not pay a lot more than the farmland price (after all, land is still plentiful in this rural area), the difference realized by the farmer may easily be enough for him to buy a mobile home in a Florida park when he and his wife retire. When a small industry decides to move out of the city, both the tax base and the jobs excite township officials. If zoning is in effect, a quick meeting is called to convert the proposed site to “industrial” without a dissenting comment. In some locations during the boom years since World War II, this urbanization has proceeded rapidly, with all local landowners having the opportunity over a decade or two to convert their land to a more “intense” use at an attractive profit. While this “suburbanization” has created some problems both for the new suburbs and the old cities, it may be viewed overall as progress of benefit to both local landowners and society. However, the process as it is now going on has not, in most areas at least, led to complete urbanization, and it’s unlikely that it will in a decade, in two decades, or even within a cen­ tury. After all, it takes between 100,000 and 250,000 people to completely urbanize a township. So realistically, with current population projections, how many townships can Michigan expect to fill in the next 50 years? Very few. In most cases, we will ex­ perience only partial urbanization - the urban sprawl we are hearing so much about these days. Back to our local farmer, still farming, as most will be in this township which has attracted only limited urbanization. When developers build a subdivision, putting in streets, water, sewage, and other simliar “modern” necessities, the per lot cost runs about $10,000 to $15,000. The people who built on that acre in the country escaped these costs. But, as the township grows from 1,000 rural inhabitants to a population of 6,000, roads must then be paved, and a sewage system developed when the State Department of Natural Resources finds local streams polluted. Now these services have to be spread throughout a rural township at a higher cost than would have occured in the sub­ division alone! And who pays? Partly the new resident, of course, but also society as a whole because a huge sewage grant becomes necessary, and partly the farmer because in­ creased millages also become necessary. The new population needs indeed demands - and gets a range of increased human ser­ vices, from police protection to garbage pickup. As a result, millages and assessments are increased, and agricultural land must pay part of the cost for providing these human services. Politically, the balance shifts. The new supervisor becomes less sympathetic to, and knowledgeable about, farmland and its values. He tends to look on each parcel as if it were about to be subdivided for $50,000 bonuses. A petition is circulated against a “smelly” hog barn that is located upwind from a new subdivision. The drain commissioner discovers that a number of new residents view that agricultural drain as a pretty little stream which ought not be disturbed by the dredging that is necessary if the farmers’ tile upstream are to continue to function. As some farmers leave the area, so do the services on which agriculture depends. The new veterinarian has a $150,000 small animal hospital, and doesn’t make cow calls anymore. The implement dealer converts to boats, lawnmowers, and snowmobiles, and the elevator closes leaving the far­ mer with a 15-mile drive to deliver his grain and only one bidder. Urbanization of farmland is not good for most farmers. It hurts!

Nashville, Wednesday April 26. 1978 - Page 13 Tulips and tartans brighten Moy The “bloomin” month of May brings traditional spring hap­ penings and a bounty of bright things to do in Michigan. Blossomtime, Michigan’s oldest festival, opened April 30 and continues through May 6 at Benton Harbor-St. Joseph. The stars of the show are the acres and acres of blossoms that promise the harvest of succulent fruit and berries indigenous to the area. Culimination of the week long festivities is the 100 unit grand floral parade schedule for 1 p.m., Saturday, May 6. The National Mushroom . Festival, Michigan’s annual number one hunt for the elusive morels, takes place May 13-14 at Boyne City. The town of Mesick will also hold a Mushroom Festival, May 8-14. Although morels are distinctive in shape and appearance, there are related varieties that are poisonous. So, if you don’t know your mushrooms, the Travel Bureau, Michigan Department of Commerce, suggests that you hunt with someone who does. Tuliptime, May 17-21, Holland, is Michigan’s most renowned spring spectacular. Tulips by the millions, in every color imaginable, provide the breathtaking setting for Holland’s celebration of their Dutch heritage. The Klompen (wooden shoes) Dancers delight visitors with their clomping choreography and tours of the tulip farms are a long remem■ bered experience. The 70 voice chorale Musicale, traditional street scrubbing ceremonies and children’s costume parade are among the numerous scheduled events not to be missed. Hot on the heels of the wooden shoes come the kilted pipers and tartaned dancers who share the legacies of their Scottish ancestory at the Highland Festival and Games, May 27-28, Alma. Traditional pomp and pageantry, pipe band championships and physical dexterity displayed in centuries old athletic com­ petitions highlight the event. The Ft. Michilimackinac Pageant is synonomous with Memorial Day weekend in Michigan (May 27-29, Mackinaw City). Mackinaw City residents re-enact the shrewd overthrow of the British garrison by the In­ dians in 1763. Pre and post per­ formance activities include muzzle loading events and demonstrations, knife and tomahawk contests. Michigan has and does play a vital role in the nation’s growth and economy. Lumberjack Days, May 4-7, Community Center, Bay City, recalls the colorful boom days of tall timber and rowdy lumberjacks. The best of “the good old days” • can be enjoyed once more, May 11-14, at the Country Fair of Yesteryear, Greenfield Village, Dearborn and the Frontier Days Festival at Carson City. The past provides the theme for a number of other interesting activities during the month. They include: the Heritage Hill Home Tour, May 20, Grand Rapids; “Promenade the Past” - a tour of 10 historic buildings circa 19th century - May 20-21, Tecumseh; and Early Michigan Festival Days, May 21-25, Ella Sharp Museum, Jackson. If you have ever faced the dilemma of buying a gift for one of those someones “who has everything”, alas the solution to your problem may well be at hand, May 10-11, at the World’s Largest Garage Sale, Cobo Hall, Detroit. You’ll find a veritable Attention Parents! treasure-trove of extraordinary items such as: absolutely authentic seats from Tiger Stadium; English doubledecker buses; a dozen gold evening dresses from an auto show; utility pole cross arms; and for the antique lovers, wooden phone booths. Sale hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., admission 50 cents. May is premiere month for Michigan’s ethnic festivals. In Wyandotte, the Armenian Festival opens the season May 12­ 14 followed by the Greek Festival, May 19-21 and Mexican Festival, May 26-28. Festivals are held in Yack Arena. Detroit’s summer program opens May 26­ 29 with the Greek Festival at the Phillip A.-Hart Plaza. May is also the month when Michigan takes time to take pride in itself. During Michigan Week, May 20-27, communities throughout the state will be “showing off” their past, present and future. The list of May activities and events is long and as varied as personalities. Just a few that may tempt you to travel include: the Sweet Adelines Chorus Competition, Troy, and Clyde Brothers Circus, Muskegon, both set for May 5-7; Train Collectors Show, Kalamazoo, May 6; Pashami Dancers, May 9, Lansing; Flower Day, May 21, Eastern Market, Detroit; and a Wine Festival, May 27-28 at the Lakeside Vineyard, Harbert It’s a great month for getting into the “SPRING” of things, in Michigan.

Wednesday April 26, 1978 -- Page 14 Harness Association supports handicapper riding program— Ron Dingerson, Extension Agricultural Agent Grow your own transplants Having exactly the varieties you want when it’s time to put them in the garden and the op­ portunity to carry through with a crop from seeding to harvest — these are a couple of reasons for growing your own vegetable transplants. According to Hugh Price, Michigan State University vegetable crops specialist, growing your own transplants is also a good way to avoid some serious problems. White flies and plant diseases may be present on purchased transplants. Of course, diseases can be a problem with home-grown plants. The most common is damping-off, a fungus disease that kills young seedlings. Avoid it by using a sterile potting soil or synthetic growth medium, Price advises. You can make your own soil mix with peat, vermiculite and soil and then sterilize it in the oven or pressure cooker; but it’s really kind of silly to go to all that work when you can purchase prepared, synthetic soil mixes. They’re more expensive, of course, but in the small quan­ tities the home gardener would use, they make a Jot of sense. The containers used for growing transplants aren’t critical — except in the case of melons, cucumbers, squash and watermelons. These crops will not tolerate being ripped out of the soil they’re started in and transplanted bare root into another container or a garden spot. They should either be sown directly into the garden after the danger of frost is past or be started in peat pots so they can be set container and all into the ground. Tomatoes, peppers and cole crops like broccoli and cabbage are much more resilient and can better tolerate being tran­ splanted. Price says even these crops will benefit from being seeded into individual containers. Any time you transplant a plant and damage its roots, you disrupt its growth. This slows the plant­ down and pushes back the time it will come into production; Sowing seeds into individual containers, especially containers that can be set right into the garden, eliminates a lot of root damage and minimizes disruption of the growth process. Once home-grown seedlings get past the stage where damping-off is a hazard, the biggest problem is usually insufficient light. A sunny windowsill or even a south­ facing bay window will not provide enough light for good growth. “To grow compact, healthy transplants in the home almost always requires the use of sup­ plemental light,’’ Price says. “This is why many growers go to a cold frame or plastic lean-to or even a small greenhouse to grow their plants. In one of these structures, plants get all the available light as well as the sun’s heat.” Proper temperatures are necessary for good plant growth. Though 65-75 degrees F is usually given as the desirable tem­ perature range for transplants, they can grow at temperatures as low as 58 degrees or as high as 80. All other things being equal, the warmer it is, the quicker they will grow. But they will manage even under dialed-down con­ ditions, as long .as they get enough light. The older a plant is when it’s transplanted, the longer it takes to adjust. Therefore Price says, “the younger the better for transplants.” Tomato seedlings grown under near ideal conditions should be no more than five to six weeks old when they’re set into the garden, he says. Plants grown in the home may take a little longer. Some people think that starting seeds in February and' nursing the plants along until they can plant them outdoors in May will give them a big head start on production. But this isn’t the case. By the time these plants go in, they already have flowers and fruits beginning to form. The plant trying to mature fruit Maple Valley senior girls tea— The annual Senior Girls Tea was hosted this year by the Nash­ ville Literary Club and as usual was a delightful affair.

Letter to Ed Lewis: Congratulations on the association of Muscular Dystrophy and the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival and congratulations to you as an oldtimer at the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival bringing these two outstanding institutions together. My memories of visiting the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival, particularly as Governor are of my fondest and I certainly wholeheartedly support the objectives of the Muscular Dystrophy program. Sincerely G. Mennen Williams doesn’t have any energy to spare to build a strong root system and plenty of foliage to make the food it needs to produce a crop. So the plant never gets much bigger than it was when it was planted and it yeilds very poorly. It’s better to start with a smaller plant that can quickly adapt to outdoor conditions and spend a few weeks growing vegetatively, he suggests. This will insure that it’s well established and prepared to produce a good crop. Though Price does not ad­ vocate a drastic hardening-off procedure before setting tran­ splants into the garden, he does recommend placing flats or trays of plants outside during warm May days for a week to 10 days before planting. This will help them get used to direct sun, wind and cooler temperatures. A high phosphorus fertilizer used as a starter solution will promote root growth and help the plant get settled in the garden quickly, he suggests. Prior to planting, transplants grown in a prepared medium probably won’t need fertilizing until they are about four weeks old. Use a soluble houseplant fetilizer, he advises. Water into the plants and then wash the foliage with water to prevent fertilizer burns. The Michigan Harness Hor­ semen’s Association recently contributed $1,561 to the Michigan 4-H Foundation in support of the 4-H Horseback Riding for Handicappers program. The donation came from association members who were high bidders at an auction of harness horsepower posters created by high school youth throughout Michigan. The 4-H Horseback Riding for Handicappers program began in 1974, and 1,500 youngsters with physical, mental and emotional handicaps have participated in the program. “The program does more than just teach a handicapper to ride a horse,” says Laurie Kaplan, the program coordinator. “It is a form of physical, mental, and emotional therapy that may improve the rider’s balance and coordination or increase their attention span, their ability to work in a group, or their self­ respect,” she notes. The reaction to the program from doctors, parents and teachers has been enthusiastic. “This program fills a need that no doctor, surgeon, clinic or service can meet - physically and emotionally. Janet’s legs relaxed like they never do -- even after therapy,” said one parent. According to another parent, “This was something that Randy could do that not even his brother or sister could do. It’s usually the other way around! It helped his self-respect.” “Ken has made great gains in attitude and has matured since spring,” one medical person said. “I feel the program has helped much in the' areas of socialization, etc. This was a good experience,” he added. The 4-H volunteers who help with this program also find rewards, according to Donald Jost, executive director of Michigan’s 4-H Foundation. “Often the volunteers will find that their attitudes change/” he says. “They’ll forget about the individual’s handicap and really get to know them as a person. Others learn how to help the handicappers develop ana* feel good about their own in­ dividuality. And almost all of the volunteers learn as much or more than the riders.” The program is currently active in 24 Michigan counties, and is often run in cooperation with the intermediate school districts. All instructors for the program are trained and cer­ tified at the Cheff Center for the Handicapped in Augusta, Mich. Phone 945-9554 for Action Want-Ads!!

Nashville, Wednesday April 26. 1978 — Page 15 News from the Senate Republican information office in Lansing A group of Republican State Senators have banded together in an effort to halt federal funding for implementing the Panama Canal Treaties. In light of Panamanian Leader General Omar Torrijos’ statement Tuesday that he would have “taken the route of violent intervention” had the Treaties not been approved, a number of Republican Michigan Senators have announced that they will sponsor a resolution memorializing Congress not to fund implementation of the Treaties. The effort to block funding for the Treaties is being led by Senate Republican Leader Bob Davis of Gaylord. Co-sponsoring the resolution are, in addition to Davis, Senators Donald Bishop (R-Rochester), Gary Byker (RHudsonville), Alvin DeGrow (RPiegon), .Harry DeMaso (RBattle-Creek), Bob Geake (RNorthville), John Toepp (RCadillac), Jack Welborn (RKalamazoo), Robert Young (RSaginaw), and Charles Zollar (RBenton Harbor). “This statement by the Panamanian Leader demon­ strates to my Republican colleagues and I in the Senate, who are sponsoring this resolution, that he has absolutely no right to be a governmental leader,” Davisy said. “It is reprehensible to us to think that Torrijos would resort to violence just to get his way. He sounds like the selfish child who, if he can’t play the game according to his rules, just takes his ball and goes home.” “Panama has a reputation as a politically unstable country. It’s no wonder this reputation per­ sists with a leader who uses violence as a tool to sway the United States to forfeit the Panama Canal,” he continued. Senator Davis pointed out that a majority of Michigan Republican Senators, himself included, have opposed the Panama Canal Treaties from the time they were proposed. “We don’t believe our nation should give up control of the waterway, and we don’t believe federal tax dollars should be spent on giving it away,” he said. It is estimated that im­ plementation of the Treaties will cost up to $700 million, including early retirement benefits to U.S. employees and the loss of about $20 million annually in interest payments on U.S. government investments in the Canal Zone. Although the Treaties have been ratified, separate funding measures must follow if they are to be implemented. Davis noted that there may be a constitutional question in halting funds for the Treaties since “world policy” dictates that, once a treaty is approved, it must be funded. He said, however, that this case may just have to be “the exception that disproves the rule.” The resolution will be in­ troduced early next week. Continued from page 11— Richard Allen response to Kelsey announcement to run for Senate areas. Senator Allen listed a number of areas in which he has been an agricultural leader, including the retention of the sales tax exemption for agricultural im­ plements, PBB, preservation of agricultural land, and the state agriculture export program. He has been the prime sponsor of legislation in animal disease control, weather modification, and the leasing of agricultural land for public hunting. In ad­ dition, he was the Senate sponsor of an amendment exempting agriculture from the Single Business Tax. He helped to secure an animal diagnostic program at Michigan State University, was active in the effort to open the Canadian border to Michigan beef, and has been active, -while serving previously in the State House and currently in the State Senate, in increasing property tax credits. “Much remains to be done in agriculture,” Allen commented. “It is very important to the economy of our Senate District and it won’t get done without a legislator or two with a farm background.” “While, in general, I think the Sheriff is well-informed, I am disappointed that he is falling into the Joe Mack ‘trap’ of calling land use planning ‘statewide zoning’,” he noted. “It is cer­ tainly nothing of the kind. I look forward to our being able to further discuss this during the campaign. I think it will be friendly and informative.” .

The offer of $6,500 was submitted by Russell Furlong, a local farm implement dealer, and David Dimmers, a Hastings attorney. The option, contingent on construction of the specified store, will run until July 31, 1979. The proposed structure, detailed in the offer submitted by Furlong and Dimmers, would be “a true, old-fashioned general store with the miscellaneous services and goods that such a store would have offered”, in­ cluding peanuts and coffee, a candy selection, a gift line, an ice cream parlor, a cheese counter, and miscellaneous items for the home. In constructing the building the men intend to use the oldest storefront in Nashville, salvaged from the old Colin T. Munro store which was razed last fall in a downtown development project by the Nashville Business Owners Association. Plans also call for "a working water wheel which would at some time power grinding equipment in the main building”. In addition to the store facilities, the new owners also intend to display **in a museum­ type atmosphere” miscellaneous antiques, cars, and farm equipment. The mill site, long a center of controversy until the 111-year old grist mill was finally tom down last summer, is located alongside the Thornapple River dam on north Main Street. Several futile efforts to save the old mill from destruction, and an earlier option on the property for construction of an apartment complex, drew much public attention. Due to local sentiment village officials refused to rezone the site for multi-family dwelling, halting and apartment project. The property is presently zoned for commercial use and will require no change for the proposed general store. The village acquired possesion of the mill property in early 1974 when they purchased it from a private owner in order to gain control of the Thornapple River dam, which was badly in need of repair. An easement to the dam will be granted to the village under the Furlong and Dimmers offer. Furlong, who was present at the council meeting, explained that they plan to fence the ad­ jacent island, with access The old mill in Nashville as it was being torn down last August, ending years of question over its fate. through the store to allow customers a closer view of the dam. He also stated that the building would probably be pi rustic-type design similar"!© a mill. Furlong, who is president of the Nashville Business Owners Association, expressed the opinion that the general store would help promote the entire clowntown business area and the village as a whole. Though it will probably start as a “summeronly” business he said they hope to eventually operate year around. In other action related to the promotion of Nashville, the Story continued on page 12- Celebrate ‘Sun Day’, May 3 By Margaret Ann Ross, Extension Hofne Economist “Let the sun shine in” on Wednesday, May 3 as America celebrates Sun Day!. Demon­ strations and observances are planned across Michigan, ac­ cording to. Extension Home ■“Economist Ann Ross. The sun, the basis of our food supply and of our physical life, is often taken for granted! Some ways to “Celebrate the Sun” on May 3 and following are: - Plan an outdoor activity — a picnic, a walk, or a game outside. - Get up early and see a sunrise and watch it set in the evening. - Check your local papers for time of sunrise-sunset. Ambulance Department looking for Volunteers The Castleton-Maple Grove-Nashville Fire Department and Ambulance Service is looking for volunteers so that the two departments can be made into seperate units. The men are now serving 4300 to 4400 people and feel working on both departments is getting to be too much a load. By State Law, all Michigan ambulance departments must have one Emergency Medical Technician on all ambulance runs by January 1979. Two EMT's must be present on all runs by Jon.1,1980. ' One-hundred-and-twenty hours of training is required in order to be classified an EMT. The ambulance department is now seeking volunteers who would like to take the EMT training at the cost of the two townships. It will not cost the trainee a cent. Ambulance crew members currently make $6.00 per run for the first hour or less. The receive $1.00 for each additional hour on the run. The ambulance department is open to both men and women. Anyone interested in taking the EMT course and who would like to be a member of the ambulance crew should contact fire chief Doug Yarger, Larry Decker, or Justin Cooley. All applications should be in by May 15, in time for the training sessions. In photo are Eldon Day (left) and John Mason.

Festival 78 brings sunshine & thousands to Vermontville It was fun in the sun as clear skies, warm sunshine and the sweet taste of maple syrup brought thousands of people swarming to the Village of Vermontville for the 38th annual Maple Syrup Festival last weekend. The invasion began Friday evening as tourist arrived by Winnebago Motor Home to Harley-Davidson Motorcycle. Overnight campers from across Michigan and out-of-state squeezed into the Maple Valley High School parking lot and other locations in the historical com­ munity.

Wednesday May 3, 1978- Page 2 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley “Mulberry Fore” is the name given to the new 11-hole golf course under construction on the north edge of town, by Bill and Mary Hecker of the Hecker In­ surance Agency. Bill explains that the 11-hole course is played the same as an 18-hole, by use of two starting points and a system whereby paths do not cross. The course, which sits high atop a hill north of Putnam Park on the east side of M-66, commands a beautiful view of the village and surrounding valley. Construction of the clubhouse is expected to begin about May 1st. Genevieve Hafner, a local retired architect, drew the plans for the building which will be completed this summer. Original ground work on the course began in 1974 and tentative opening date has been set for June 1979 — slightly more than a year from now. “Mulberry Fore”, which was named for the many mulberry trees on the property, should be a definite asset to our village, attracting both local and area golfers who must now drive several miles to enjoy the sport. Condolences are extended to the family of Mrs. Austin (Bernice) Schantz who died at her home, April 21st, after a long illness. Survivors in the im­ mediate family are her husband, Austin; and sons, Victor and Arden, both of Nashville. Arden is An employee of the village.

The blaze, which started near a trash barrel and spread about ten feet,, was quickly extinguished by the firemen. The following day, the fire department ambulance was called to BiVens Road to tran-sport a heart attack patient to Pennock Hospital. Two days later, on the 25th, the ambulance responded to another heart at­ tack call on Phillips Street and made a similar transport. As soon as the ambulance had returned to Nashville, it was summoned to the comer of Washington and Middle Streets to take a girl, who was down in the street, to the doctor’s office for treatment of an injured elbow. On the evening of April 26th, the Nashville Fire Department responded to a fire call at Woodards Mobile Service Station at the corner of M-79 and M-66, when gas was ignited as an auto was being filled. Officer Long of the Nashville Police Department, who was patrolling near the area, was alerted to the fire and radioed for help. Tom Oleson who was driving nearby with off-duty Officer Koetje also reported the f fire by phoning from a private residence. The flames, which were reportedly as high as the building, scorched the station front, broke plate glass windows in the building and did some rearend damage to the auto. A young man inside the station broke out a side window to escape the blaze. The flames died down quickly as soon as the gas on the driveway was consumed. The firemen used chemical extinguishers to put out the remaining fire. Fortunately the gas pumps did not ignite, nor a nearby tanker trunk which was preparing to unload at the station, and no one was injured. Last Thursday morning the fire department was again called out; this time to put out a grass fireDn the north end of Putnam Park near the fence line. The blaze was quickly extinguished with use of fire brooms and water. Thursday afternoon the firemen were called to a smoke-filled house on Washington Street, afternoon the firemen were called to a smokefilled house on Washington Street, and found a faulty washing machine motor to be the cause. Friday, about noon, the firemen responded to a grass fire call at the corner of Cloverdale and Marshall Road.

Some state money would be involved, but it would also use federal funds. NO INTEREST — Governor Milliken has signed into law HB 4761, which prohibits charging interest on retail purchases until the goods or services bought are actually delivered. This applies mainly to credit card purchases. SUN DAY A nationwide effort to make people aware of the uses of solar energy will be observed in Michigan May 3 to May 5. At the Capitol Complex in Lansing and in many local communities, exhibits will point out the benefits of using sun power. VOTER VETO — As specified in our constitution, the question of calling a new state con­ stitutional convention will appear on this fall’s ballot. Several groups are studying this question; most recently, the League of Women Voters of Michigan decided that the present constitution is in most respects a good one, and that such a convention would be far too expensive. JOB SAFETY—The House has approved HB 5078, which would allow State employees to report suspected improprieties by their superiors without fear of being fired, losing promotions or salary raises; it also bans public em­ ployees from wasting state resources, property or funds. BUS BILL — Both houses have now approved SB 1157, which would require all new municipal buses in Michigan to have lifts for, and to accommodate one or more, wheelchairs. There is no other state that requires every line-haul bus to be equipped with lifts. This was passed to meet a May 1 deadline imposed by the federal government for states to set bus-handicap standards. NO LIE — The House will soon vote On HB 6268, which would prohibit any employer or union from giving or requiring a lie detector test or a psychological test as a condition for a job. An amendment may be proposed to exempt police agencies from this ban. BIGAMY BEQUEST — The Governor has signed into law SB 921, which provides that if someone’s spouse dies and it turns out that the spouse was doubly married, the survivor has rights to property from that marriage. Prior law allowed the first spouse to get half the property. WINE LIST — Michigan new ranks 5th among the wine­ producing states of this country with 1,900 tons of wine grapes grown in 1977. Our wines com­ pare favorably with those of California and New York; 3 Michigan wineries have received medals for excellence in national competition.

Each raft should be built to hold six to eight people, and one of these should be at least 16 years old. Canoes will hold two people comfortably. The important thing to remember about this trip is that it’s a group-do-ityourself venture. Each raft or canoe will be an independent unit - responsible for preparing its own meals and setting up camp Saturday night. If you are wanting to go but aren’t a part of a group, try to stimulate some friends to join you and get started on your raft. If you have a group started but could use one or more additional members, give the 4-H office a call. They’ll try to get you together with some more people. Remember - if you’re going to need it, take it with you!!! Here is a list of some of the items you will need. You’ll probably think of others. At least these things should be on each raft or in each canoe: 1. A first aid kit. 2. Oars dr paddles and a couple of poles 10’ to 12’ long. 3. About 25’ of rope. 4. Life jacket or vest for each person. 5. Food and water for each person for the entire trip. 6. quipment for food preparation. 7. Insulated * food storage to prevent food spoilage. 8. Waterproof food and clothing storage. 9. Clothing and shelter for day and night - rain or shine. 10. Trash bags - don’t throw it in the river!!! 11.

We just raced through April! With permission to serve a few more citizens daily, our group has expanded considerably. Practically all of our group who were wintering in warmer climes are back with us, and some who missed meeting with the group due to illnesses have returned on a permanent basis. It is with warmth that we greet them and we are glad to see them looking and feeling better. Now that the long winter has passed and the beautiful spring flowers are blooming, everyone seems to have a more optimistic outlook on life-tfboost in morale. At our April site meeting a committee was appointed to find special entertainment for the group; hopefully, at least once a month.The committee is composed of Verna Frederick, Fred Ackett and Roy Boise. Of course,, we all are expected to make recommendations if we hear of available prospective entertainment. Marguerite Ackett was appointed as our new Treasurer. we discussed various places that the group might like to visit for one day jaunts, and planned to visit the turkey farm near Marshall on the afternoon of May 20th as our first trip.

Michigan District Director for the U.S. Small Business Admisinistration, joined President Carter, SBA Administrator Weaver, Governor Milliken and numerous City Mayors throughout the State of Michigan in paying tribute to the more than 13 million small business men and women during SMALL BUSINESS WEEK, April 30 thru May 6, 1978. Mr. Harshman stated that this was the fourteenth observance of SMALL BUSINESS WEEK.

The Association is currently formulating plans for the development of the Main Street business site owned by the organization, and the walkway is in conjunction with this project. “The aim of the Association is to be active and promote Nash­ ville as a village, not just as in­ dividual businessmen” Furlong said, stressing support of the recreational as well as the retail potential of the village. A weekend campsite and entertainment center located on the west edge of Nashville and an 11hole golf course near the north village limits are currently under construction by local, individual owners. In addition, a volunteer community group in raising funds for recreational facilities along the Thornapple River to include softball diamonds, a canoe launch, and picnic area. Furlong invited the council to attend a special meeting of the Business Owners Association, May 1, for an update on their present plans. Sunshine is good — good for plants, animals, humans, and politics. , “Sunshine” laws refer, in general, to those laws which require meetings of public of­ ficials to be open to the public. I think this is a good principle. Michigan passed an open meetings or “sunshine” law acouple of years ago, and I think it is working out pretty well. There were a number of ex­ ceptions included in Michigan’s law, however, a couple of which I think should be eliminated. Number one, party caucuses in the Legislature are still closed, and I see no real justification for this, and number two, the same with labor negotiations by school boards and other local units of government. It is possible to apply the “sunshine” philosophy as an even broader principle — to lobbying, for instance.

John & Mary Rodriquez Let It is difficult to write legislation that prohibits someone from buying lunch or playing golf with a legislator. We obviously can’t and shouldn’t live in isolation. And, if I drive to Jackson to have lunch with members of the Chamber of Commerce or the Farm. Bureau, I guess I would find it strange to buy my own lunch — although 1 expect to pay for the gas. I find no problem, though, with a law that requires me to report all lunches or other such services purchased for me. And, for people who are officially registered as lobbyists, I find no problem with requiring them to report such expenditures, too. This would enable the press or the public to take a look at the reports, and make what they will of them. I doubt they would find much to criticize, although there is no doubt that legislators are under some pressure to attend a lot of breakfasts, lunches, and dinners. I also agree with the “sun­ shine” concept on some aspects of the private lives of legislators — our financial lives, for example. I have always made available to the press and public my income tax and a personal financial statement listing all assets owned and persons or institutions to whom I owe money. I don’t think there should be many laws limiting the in­ dependent financial activities of legislators. egsaors. Wee are peop peoplee w with . rights, and I believe the public is I well-served when the Legislature is composed of a variety of people with different backgrounds and continuing activities. activities. in agriculture, business and labor. If I am still active as a farmer, and another as secretary of his local labor union, I say, “so what?” — so long, that is, as the people know. Let the people decide if there is a conflict, and if so, take their action at the polls. Sunshine is a good principle. And, it can replace a lot of complicated laws restricting the rights of people in a free society. Legislators, and others in public life, should expect to lose some of their right to privacy normally accorded to others. But, we should not lose any other rights. Laurie pierce your ears with...

We’ll be playing league rivals the rest of the way and I anticipate a tight race and some very close battles. “We got some valuable ex­ perience in the Detroit tour­ nament against Anchor Bay and Warren Woods. The hitting is coming around and if we can eliminate some of the errors we’ve been making we should come out pretty good.” The leading hitters on the squad are Bryan Antes at .419 and Scott Decker at .305. Antes is also the leading pitcher with a 3-0 won-lost record. Pete Benton is the best baserunner and makes exciting things happen on the basepaths. Maple Valley is all even-up with a 2-2 record in league play.

Davis denounces firearms proposal troduce a resolution in the Michigan Senate denouncing the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms for attempting to impose gun control through the back door. He especially criticized the Bureau for claiming that funding for the program would neither have to be appropriated or authorized by Congress, but would simply be “redirected” from existing funds. Because Congress has exclusive authority to legislate and appropriate funds, Davis said the Treasury Department’s presumption of authority in this case runs completely counter to the intent of Congress. “The startup costs of this massive system would run about $5 million. The paperwork costs LANSING, Mich. Senate Republican Leader Bob Davis (R-Gaylord) has called the U.S. Treasury Department’s proposal to establish a national firearms registration system by requiring manufacturers, importers, ex­ porters, wholesalers, distributors, jobbers and dealers to report all firearms tran­ sactions to the Bureau on a quarterly basis. “Congress has consistently opposed firearms registration and any scheme suggestive of registration,’’ Davis pointed out. “The Treasury Department is trying to circumvent Congress outright by this move. Congress has, in the past, clearly refused to give the firearms control bureaucracy this authority.” Davis said he plans to in- Serving our country SAN ANTONIO Airman Lawrence H.

The provision requiring a 14-digit serial code on all firearms would cost con­ sumers another $5 million for retooling,” Davis reported. “And yet, the Treasury Department is saying they don’t need any permission to do this. The Bureaucracy has way too much power.” “As much as three years ago, the Bureau estimated that a firearm could be traced in as few as 27 minutes under the exisiting record-keeping system. There can be no justification for the proposed centralization other than an expansion of bureaucratic authority and a desire to register firearms, despite the feelings of the general public,” he said. Another provision in the proposed rules would require that all firearms lost or stolen while in Federally-licensed commerce be reported by licensees within 24 hours of discovery. Failure to file such a report on time would be a felony, punishable by five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. In many instances the dealer who failed to report a theft could be punished far more severely than the thief. Davis said he hopes to have the resolution ready for introduction early next week.

Nashville News, continued meeting, and proceeding public hearing on vacating Cherry Alley,, were conducted by President Pro-tem Tom Oleson in the absence of Village President Harold Christiansen, who is recuperating from recent surgery. The council agreed to vacate Cherry Alley, between Water Alley and Main Street, to the Business Owners Association and Nashville Auto Supply, in con­ junction with the development of the Associations’ downtown property. The alley was vacated “because the council believes it is for The benefit of the entire village” said Oleson. The action was taken with the stipulation that the Association provide a public walkway between the behind-store parking area and Main Street. Oleson said the “council might be deluged with similar requests from private property owners” but explained that vacating Cherry Alley was for the good of Nashville as a whole, not just two individual owners. Proposed plans call for a covered walkway if the Association constructs a building on the site, covering the Alley. In other action, the council voted unanimously to grant an option to purchase the old mill site for construction of an early style general store. The offer of $6,500 was submitted by Russell Furlong, owner of Maple Valley Implement, and David Dimmers, a Hastings attorney. The option, News from the Republican Senate information office in Lansing Senate Republican Leader Bob Davis has voiced his support for a tax-limitation movement in Michigan, calling the approach a reasonable and responsible one. “Governmental spending has been getting out of hand for years. The inflation rate is spiralling. The dollar continues to depreciate at a rapid pace. The growth of government at all levels is rampant,” Davis in­ sisted. “Serious attempts must be made to hold down spending here in Michigan and taxes should be tied directly to personal income.” In lending his support to the state drive to limit taxation, Davis noted that the plan has the flexibility of allowing taxes and expenditures to expand with a growing economy. The proposal specifically calls for limiting the total of all forms of state and local taxes to their current ratio to the total personal income of state taxpayers. By next year, that ratio will be about 8.3 per­ cent. If the economy expands, the limitations would be raised on both tax rates and state ex­ penditures, but the reverse would hold true in poorer economic times.

Be con­ sistent, advertise National items, don’t ad hop only make gradual changes, and above all, establish a definite image and stay with it.” “Readers like white spaces," continued Newman. “They don’t want to read crowded ads, it annoys them. Smaller towns like to see pictures of the store, the store-owner, and advertised items.” “A small town store can compete with the big chains by providing service. I do 95 percent of my shopping in my home town of Charlotte. They know my name, they know what I like and they don't pressure me. It's fast, prompt and courteous.” Other suggestions Newman offered were: select items that are in demand; make sure ad­ vertised items are well stocked; it is more beneficial to have a smaller, consistent ad schedule than placing one large ad every now and then; read your com­ petitors ads and see what they are doing; don’t mix higher-end merchandise with promotional items; tell the truth; give size ranges, colors and don’t be afraid to use prices; and keep the layout simple. Mike Newman of the Michigan Retailers Association from Charlotte was a guest speaker for the Nashville Businessowners Association special meeting Monday evening, May 1. He discussed the upcoming difficulties small businessmen are expected to experience in the near future. He said workman’s compensation is expected to go up 25 to 30 percent. Also the minimum wage is expected to be enforced if there are two or more employees over 18-years-of-age. The current law for minimum wage are four employees over 18. Newman also commented that the government may cause all businesses to close eight hours of their business weeks due to the energy problem. He said this type of enforcement would cost the small businessman much more than the larger chain outlets citing that larger businesses are open possibly 80 hours a week and the small business only open 40 some hours currently. The remainder of Newman’s presentation concerned ad­ vertising. He said the small town businessman should find the best possible way to reach his audience, in this case the people in the Nashville area. “One key thing to remember is don’t run down your com­ petition,” said Newman. “Ad­ vertise for your own character and dignity. In order for you ad to work it must be seen, read and Mike Newman of the Michigan Retailers Association talked to the Nashville Businessowners Association about probable upcoming problems facing small businesses and the proper use of advertising.

Eight members and three guests of the Nashville “U-ShareIt” Extension Club enjoyed a beautiful travelgue on Hawaii at the Kellogg Auditorium in Battle Creek on. the evening of April 29th. The group had dinner at Shranks Cafeteria on the Michigan Mall preceeding the film. The club, comprised of homemakers and including several retired schoolteachers, meets once a month for varied and informative programs. Mrs. Homer (Tecla) Snow is president of the organization. Mrs. Deidra (Priddy) Sprinkle is trying to locate all the senior citizens in Nashville, and Castleton, Maple Grove and Assyria Townships. She had undertaken this sizeable task to help the seniors with free programs designed to protect their lives and property. Deidra, who is the daughter of Lloyd and Eunice (Higdon) Priddy, is working under CETA Title VI on the “Vial of Life” and “Operation Identification” projects spon­ sored by the Council on Aging and local and state police agencies. Deidra has taken over the duties from Omer Dean of Nashville who has been active in the program. The “Vial of Life” is a special plastic capsule to hold a list of medical and next-of-kin information of the senior citizen. After Deidra completes the form, she places the capsule in a cer­ tain area of the individual’s refrigerator. Ambulance and police personnel know about this program and will check the refrigerator when responding to a medical emergency. The capsule will be transported to the hospital along with the patient. “Vials” may also be placed in the senior citizen’s auto, if they desire. Individuals participating in this free program will also be listed in a central file with am­ bulance, police and highway departments to help in case of CHECKLIST FOR MOTHER’S DAY SUNDAY, MAY 14 Q] E] E] E] El Wrangler Sportswear Shoes & Sandals Aprons & Smocks Lawn Furniture Home Appliances REMEMBER TO Q] El El EJ El bad road conditions, etc. This program is especially important for persons with chronic health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. When Deidra calls on a home she will also, free of charge, inscribe “Operation Iden­ tification” numbers oh all items of value on the premises. This engraving is part of a nationwide program to deter theft and resale of household possessions. Senior citizens, or their relative friends, may call Deidra at 852-9331 or 852-1603 (after 5:00 p.m.) for more information. Each visit to a home takes Deidra about an hour to complete the two services. Remember, senior citizens, the programs are free.

The value of effective ad­ vertising was the main topic of discussion when Mike Newman of the Michigan Retailers Association spoke to the Nash­ ville Business Owners Association last week, Monday, at the Castleton Township Hall. Newman, who lives in Charlotte, also pointed out the advantage that small town merchants have in being able to give personal service to their customers. Newman said he personally enjoys shopping at the less hectic pace found in hometown stores; being known on a first-name basis and treated as an individual by the merchants. He stressed the importance of businessmen offering personal service, quality merchandise, and good servicing (when applicable) of products sold. Among other areas of in­ terest covered in Newman’s presentation were current legislation affecting merchants, including employee benefits and the energy crisis, and con­ venience of store hours and parking.

The Castleton-Maple Grove-Nashville Fire Department and Ambulance Service is looking for volunteers so that the two departments can be made into separate units. The men are now serving 4300 to 4400 people and feel working on both departments is getting to be too much a load. By State Law, all Michigan ambulance departments must have one Emergency Medical Technician on all ambulance runs by January 1979. Two EMT's must be present on all runs by Jan. 1, 1980. One-hundred-and-twenty hours of training is required in order to be classified on EMT. The ambulance department is now seeking volunteers who would like to take the EMT training at the cost of the two townships. It will not cost the trainee a cent. Ambulance crew members currently make $6.00 per run for the first hour or less. They receive $1.00 for each additional hour on the run. The ambulance department is open to both men and women. Anyone interested in taking the EMT course and who would like to be a member of the ambulance crew should contact fire chief Doug Yarger, Larry Decker, or Justin Cooley. All applications should be in by May 15, in time for the training sessions.

Children were seen and heard as “Don’t Do It To Someone You Love” became the theme of this year’s Michigan Nonsmokers’ Week. The designer of Michigan’s Christmas Seal for 1977, Cindy Goodson, and Charles Lindsey, the Youth Ambassador from the American Lung Association of Southeastern Michigan, thanked the Governor for proclaiming May 7-13 as the week for all nonsmokers. Cindy spoke on behalf of all Michigan children during ceremonies at the State Capitol. “Parents tell us they love us,” she said. “They buy us nice clothes and feed us good food. But some of them blow smoke in our faces. I know they don’t mean to hurt us.” “Parents probably don’t realize how their smoking can harm those they love,” said Vernon E. Wendt, MD, president of the Michigan Lung Association. Why are children more vulnerable to cigarette smoke? First of all, they breathe in more air, and thus more smoke, per unit of body weight than adults. Their greater physical activity increases their intake of air, including tobacco smoke and other pollutants. In addition children breathe more through the mouth, a far less effective filter than the nose, than do adults, because of greater physical activity and more respiratory infections. A study cited by the U.S. Department of Health, Education and Welfare (J.R.T. Colley) says that during the first year of life, primarily between six and nine months, there is approximatetly a twofold increase in the rate of acute bronchitis and pneumonia in children of smokers. Children who have lower respiratory tract infections before the. age of two suffer a higher rate of respiratory disease in their adult years. Further, when children are exposed to secondhand smoke in a small room for thirty minutes, they experience an increase in their heart rate and blood pressure. Given a chance to react to their parents’ smoking, children reported in a questionnaire that second-hand smoke (smoke from the burning end of a cigarette) is Eaton County cropping outlook is changing By Warren J.

They indicated they prefer their parents not smoke. Dr. Wendt said that parents who want to protect the respiratory health of their children should not only refrain from smoking in the home, but should not smoke at all. There’s a “rights of the non­ smoker” message for the mother-to-be, too...The mother­ to-be can help her newborn-to-be by refraining from smoking during pregnancy, Smoking mothers cut down the supply of oxygen to the fetus and can retard its growth. These women are more likely to deliver an undersized baby, which has a harder time surviving than a normal-sized one. Cindy Goodson says there are two ways “how not to love your kids”—smoke and shorten your life, or smoke around them and increase their chances of getting chronic lung disease. It’s a matter of life and breath...don’t do it to someone you love. College Week offers a variety of classes— By Margaret Ann Ross, Extension Home Economist .

Rockwell Secretary, Board of Education �The Maple Valley New*, Nashville, Wednesday, May 10, 1978 — Page 6 Backyard fruit should be small F.F.A. Awards banquet at Maple Valley By Pat Randles, Agricultural Assistant If you’re thinking of planting fruit trees in your backyard, think small — buy dwarfs. They’re early bearing, easy to prune, spray and pick, and they require less space to grow than ordinary fruit trees. Dwarf fruit trees are vegetatively propagated from rootstocks rather than seeds. Rooted cuttings are budded with the desired apple or other fruit variety to produce a dwarf tree in about 2% years. This special process produces a much smaller tree that bears normal-sized fruit. Dwarfs need the same sort of care that full-sized trees need — water, fertilizer, and disease and insect control programs — but their small size makes these chores somewhat easier. Spraying and harvesting can be done without ladders. When buying dwarf apple trees, backyard fruit growers should look for two or three varieties. The ideal one, Mailing 9 root­ stock, is desirable for its height and bears fruit or second year after planting. It may be in short supply, however. Other ac­ ceptable varieties are Mailing 26 and Mailing 7. They grow a few feet taller than Mailing 9 and bear later. If you prefer pears to apples, ask your nursery operator for a dwarf pear that is grown on Quince-A rootstock. Peaches and plums are usually grown on sand cherry, Nankin cherry or St. Julien-A rootstocks. Check for the rootstock on the tag on any tree you buy. Then you will know you’re getting a genuine dwarf. For further information on dwarf fruit trees and rootstocks, consult your county Cooperative Extension Service agent, or ask for the bulletin “Developing Dwarf Apple Trees,” SIA 17.

For about the past five years, the processing industry and the FDA have been trying to decide how to show consumers what’s on the inside of the can without it costing consumers much more. Consumer advocates have been asking for information showing how much fruit or vegetable and how much juice, syrup or water is inside. “Solid content” weight of fruits and vegetables is voluntarily being listed on many labels this year, but there may be further changes. Solid content weight 4s the weight of the food put into the container before any liquid is added and before processing. Now the FDA (Food & Drug Administration) has proposed a compromise “solid contents” labeling regulation after five years of controversy over its now-defunct “drained weight” proposal. Although the hew proposal will remain under consideration for more than a year before regulations are written, it’s not likely to run into the same degree of opposition as its predecessor. Food labels routinely list their net weight or the weight of the contents of the package. But this didn’t seem to be enough to suite many consumers. So, in 1973, FDA proposed that the “drained weight” of liquid-packed canned fruits and vegetables be declared op the label. “Drained weight” was defined as the weight of the food if the liquid were removed 30 days after processing. In order for this information to be provided, food would have to be destroyed and the National Canners Association replied that the regulation would be too expensive, adding at least a penny to the cost of each can. The “solid contents” information, which is now appearing on many labels, Need evidence for duplicate S.S. Card A person who needs a duplicate social security card to replace one lost or to show a new name must now present evidence of identity before the new card can be issued, Robert P. Fleminger social security district manager in Grand Rapids said today. Previously, all a person had to do was submit the stub of the lost card, or the old card, and a new card could be issued on the spot. This can no longer be done, Fleminger said. Fleminger said the new rules are intended to help protect the person’s social security record, assure that it is complete and accurate, and to prevent anyone else from misusing or abusing the person’s social security number. Evidence of identity should show the person’s picture, signature, date of birth or age, or other identifying information. All documents are subject to verification with the agency which issued them. Since it takes 3 to 4 weeks to. issue and deliver the new card after all documents have been submitted, Fleminger said that it is a good idea to apply for the duplicate card as soon as possible. A free leaflet, “Applying for a social security number,’’ lists the kinds of evidence that can be used to establish a person’s identity. Copies can be obtained at the Grand Rapids social security office, located at 110 Michigan N.W. the telephone number is 456-2241.

The new FDA proposal would require that EITHER the solid contents (fill weight) OR the drained weight be listed. Though some consumer groups argue that the fill weight basis may not represent the final weight of the solid food in the can (since fruits and vegetables may gain or lose weight during processing and storage) it would appear that this would still be the least costly alternative to all consumers. Government regulations are just one of the costs that affect canned fruit and vegetable prices. Canned fruits and vegetables have only increased in price a modest six percent over the last three years, which is less than half the average increase for all foods during the same period. In addition to the general in­ flationary factor, canned food prices are strongly affected by labor, container costs and by the costs of complying with federal and state regulations. Canners quote an average cost of 7 cents per can, and this is often greater than the farm value of the food that’s packed into the cans. Compliance with government regulations to assure quality and safety of food and the en­ vironment in which it’s handled and processed is said to cost processors as much or more than the cans themselves. If you wish to make comments about the new FDA proposal, send your comments to Hearing Clerk, FDA, Room 4-65, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, Maryland 20857. Information will be accepted until July 1, 1979. As a responsible consumer, it’s up to you to let the regulatory agencies know your wishes about what kind of information you want and really need and how much added cost you’re willing to pay for the information. Local area residents, Phil and Louis Villaire, have just returned from a three-day conference at Rocky Flats, Colorado, where the plutomium triggers for the neutron bomb and all other nuclear weapons are made. Over 6,000 people from all over the country attended the lectures, demonstrations and workshops. Among the speakers calling for an end to the arms race and the funding of human needs, was the Episcopal Bishop of Colorado and Dr. Ernest Sternglass, head of Radiology at M.I.T., who repeated the many serious hazards of the spread of nuclear power and how this issue is in­ separable from the continuing spread of military nuclear hardware throughout the world.

Dr. Milton Friedman, the Nobel Prize-winning economist, and Dr. Paul McCracken of the University of Michigan, are honorary co-chairmen ^of the drive. The State of Tennessee over­ whelmingly became the first state to pass a tax limitation measpre in March. The Ten­ nessee version is not as inclusive as the Michigan group’s tax limitation language. On the other hand, the Michigan effort is not as “drastic” as that in California which would roll back a high percentage of taxes. “We believe Michigan has the most respon­ sible, flexible method for bringing common sense to taxes than any State in the Union,” Headlee added.

Nashville, Wednesday, May 10, 1978 - Page 14 Michigan Feeding is down 5 percentMICHIGAN: Feedlot inventories of cattle on feed stand at 190,000 cattle and calves in the State, according to an April 1 Survey of Michigan Crop Reporting Service. This is down 5 percent from last year at this time and 5 percent short of the January peak. Heifers cohtinue to grow as a feeding preference in Michigan with an increase of 55 percent over last year. Steers were down 11 percent, but still account for 85 percent of feedlot inventories. Placements into feedlots during January through March totaled 47,000 calves and feeders, up 9 percent from a year earlier. Marketings during the winter quarter removed 55,000 fat cattle, the same as last year and only slightly less than farmers ex­ pected to sell 3 months ago. Other disappearance took 2,000 head from feedlots, down one-third from last year. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of our parents, Paul and Viola Mc­ Dowell, who left us May 8, 1975 and May 9, 1976.

Will always love and miss you so. Sadly missed by­ Leona Zimmerman Florence Kuempel Margaret Carlin and Grandchildren During the next 3 months, Michigan cattlemen expect to market 70,000 fat cattle, a reduction of 9 percent from last spring.

The family would have to pay at least 10 percent of their property taxes, however, unless the total tax was under $2,000. Thus, the often-criticized situation whereby some fairly wealthy farmers escape all We’ve Moved The Razor’s Edge taxation would also be changed. The nature of agriculture now is such that an aggressive, ex­ panding farmer, with high in­ terest payments and equipment depreciation, may be able to live fairly comfortably, and have a growing net worth through capital gains, even though he does not have reportable income. Quite a large number of those signing up have been falling into this category of large farmer, paying more than $5,000 in property taxes. An appreciable number have received a com­ plete refund due to their lack of reportable income. While we all hope this problem is solved by higher farm income, I don’t think a minimum payment of 10 percent of taxes owed would greatly discourage new par­ ticipants in this category. And, I think excusing $10,000 of personal income from the seven percent provision will bring in many small farmers. We need them, too! Winners of childrens festival parade­ Spaceships and little green people arrived at the Vert montville Maple Syrup Festival Saturday for the annual children’s parade. Over 50 youngsters participated in the parade with the theme of “outer space’’. Trophies were given to the top five place winners.

The program will begin on Thursday, June 8 and will end on Friday, July 7. The students will not be in session on July 3rd and 4th. There will be two sections at Fuller St. Elementary and two sections at Maplewood Elementary. Teachers will include Jean St. Andrew, Mary Gauss, Linda Andres, and Claudette Edly. The aides will include Sharon Marisch, Debra McGinley, Debbie Cooley, Margaret Myers, Shelly Wolff, Mary Bolinger, Dione Shaw, Karen Christensen, Julie DeCamp, Kelli Knoll, Carla Aspinall, and Tracey Baker. The program is financed one hundred percent through Title I funds. There will be approximately ninety students enrolled in the summer program. Mr. Jeffery Petrosky was hired as instrumental music teacher for the 1978-79 school year. He is a graudate of St. Joseph High School and the University of Michigan. Jeff has participated in the marching and concert bands at both the high school and university level. At the present time he is serving as assistant band director at River Valley. It is planned that he will be available to work with some of the students prior to the time the band students go to band camp in August. A retention policy was ap­ proved for. students in the elementary and Jr. high grades. Copies of the policy may be ob­ tained at any of the building offices. * A letter of resignation was accepted from Betty Fry as reading coordinator. Mrs. Fry’s husband has accepted a new position in Mt. Pleasant, and they will be moving to that area this summer. The board accepted a letter of resignation as Jr. high track coach at the end of the 77-78 school year from Charles Gillmore, and a letter of resignation as Junior varsity wrestling coach from Steve MacDonald. A letter of resignation was accepted from Cheri Stump as secretary at the Jr-Sr. High School. Her husband has accepted a new position in Big Rapids, and they will be moving to that area this summer. A maternity leave of absence was approved for the 1978-79 school year for Mrs. Brenda Ambulance Department still in need of more volunteers The Castleton-Maple Grove Ambulance Department is still in search of more volunteers for Emergency Medical Techniciqn training. Registration for the 120 hour course will begin in the middle of June. In photo, Judd Cooley (left) and fire chief Doug Yarger look over the 13 applications they have received to date..They are hopeful of receiving at least 25 applications. "We won't be able to operate our own ambulance service if we don’t have at least one EMT on call for all our runs by 1979," said Cooley. "By 1980, we’ll have to have two EMT’s on all runs and the driver must be licensed by the state. "If we don’t have enough qualified people our only alternative is to use extra tax money to hire a couple full time attendants in order to have our own ambulance service. This could require an extra mill to pay for their salaries." If the Nashville area did not have its own ambulance service the Hastings department would have to respond to the emergencies that could often take too long. The Hastings department would also have to be subsidized for any calls it responded to. "We want to keep the service right here because of the much quicker response time that would save many lives." The ambulance department is open to both men and women. Anyone interested in taking the EMT course and who would like to be a member of the ambulance crew should contact Doug Yarger, Judd Cooley or Larry Decker. The training would be paid by Castleton and Maple Grove Townships. (Maple Volley News Photo) Sheneman, first grade teacher at Maplewood Elementary. A general discussion was held relative to the assignment of room space at the Maplewood Elementary for the 1978-79 school year. Because of an anticipated increase in kindergarten enrollment next fall necessitating three sections instead of two sections, it is necessary to obtain one additional classsroom area. It was decided to hold one resource class room in the area which now is being used by the reading teacher. The reading teacher will share space with the other special teachers next fall, and a large amount of her time is spent working with some students within the regular classroom. There will also be three sections of second grade and three secitons of sixth grade at Maplewood. General approval was given the proposed budget as submitted by the athletic council covering football, girls basketball, girls tennis, golf, cross country, boys basketball, wrestling, volleyball, cheerleading, first aid supplies, and general athletic expenses. General expenditures are estimated at $17,429.01 compared with anticipated receipts of $15,096.88 based upon current year receipts. In addition to the general budget approval, the board members approved a summer athletic program in­ cluding weight lifting and basketball. This coming school year there will be two basketball teams at both the seventh and eighth grade levels enabling more students an opportunity to play more time when competing with schools that have two teams at both grade levels. A new wrestling mat was approved for purchase at a cost of $3,222 plus an additional amount of $70 for a cart. Because of general deterioration, it is necessary to replace the press box at the Fuller St. athletic field. A junior varisty girls volleyball coach will be employed this coming school year which is necessary con­ sidering the large number of girls participating on the varsity and junior varsity teams. Also, an assistant junior high track coach will be employed next year considering the large number of both girls and boys participating in track. General report on the vocational advisory committee was presented by Tom Mateer. The vocational advisory com­ mittee includes Jerry Brumm, Kenneth Furlong, Bob Halsey, Ben Mason, instructor Mel Kivela, and Tom Mateer. After an executive session the board members voted to have an open listing on the house being built on Casgrove street in Nashville at $44,700. The school district is attempting to purchase building sites in Vermontville. At the present time the school district owns two additional lots in Fuller Heights. Board bills in the amount of $77,118.09 were approved for payment which included the cost of three new school busses at a cost of $51,792.75. The April 21st payroll in the amount of $70,833.90 and the May 5th payroll in the amount of $71,713.27 were approved for payment and transfer to the payroll account. Building Trades to hold OPEN HOUSE Tuesday, May 23 Tuesday, May 23,1978 will be a special day for the student's of Maple Valley’s Building Trades class.

The program is a cooperative effort between Eaton County 4-H and the Eaton Intermediate School District. The program does not offer pony rides: it teaches a skill. People who have physical, mental, or emotional handicaps, or who are blind or deaf, learn the sport of horsemanship. Students learn to control the horse from the ground and Jhe saddle. The horse is used as a tool to help students improve theirr coor­ dination, balance, confidence and self respect. A pilot program was held last summer at Meadowview School in Charlotte. Students received three riding lessons. Ms. Sally Bouchard, a summer school teacher, said of the experience; “Working with the horse helped students improve their self image In some cases students image. were at first a little fearful of the animals and not only did they overcome the initial fear but in many cases were able to guide their horse.” This summer’s program is scheduled to run on Wednesday and Thursday for eight weeks, beginning June 21st. Students from Meadowview School, as well as other handicapped young people or adults from throughout Eaton County, will be able to receive riding instruction. The Handicapper Riding Program will be taught by Pat Harkin of East Lansing and Nancy Dutrieux of Eaton Rapids. Both instructors took part in a month-long training program at Cheff Center for the Handicapped in Augusta, Michigan. Their training included basic physical therapy for handicappers, use of special riding equipment, selecting horses for the program, training volunteers, and teaching techniques. The success of Eaton County’s riding program will depend largely on the many volunteers who work in the program. Ac­ cording to instructor Nancy Dutrieux, “The volunteers who lend their horses and assist the handicapped riders are the back­ bone of our program. We couldn’t put on a program without them.” So far, eleven horses and ponies have been selected to be used with the handicapped riders. Five more horses or ponies are still needed for one or two days of riding each week. Thirty more volunteers are still needed to work in the program. Volunteer “leaders”, helping control the horse by leading him while the handicapped person is mounted, should have some horse experience. “Side-holders,” aiding balance and reinforcing the instructors directions, need no horse experience — only en­ thusiasm. Volunteers work two or more hours per week. Teens as well as adults can serve as volunteers. While working with the program, many volunteers find that they really get to know a handicapper as a person for the first time. All volunteers are trained by the instructors prior to the riding class. Volunteers can attend a two to three hour training session on either Sunday, June 11th at 1 p.m., Kardel Hall, Charlotte Eaton County Fairgrounds, or Saturday, June 17th at 9 a.m. in Kardel Hall. If you can loan a horse or pony one or two days per week, or volunteer some of your time this summer to work at the riding program, please contact Mrs. Sue Rose, Extension 4-H Youth Agent at 126 N. Bostwick, Charlotte, phone 543-2310, or instructor Nancy Dutrieux, 663­ 8602 in Eaton Rapids.

West Michigan’s fishery, which normally features salmon and Lake trout, this week highlights Brown trout, Steelhead and Smelt, reports West Michigan Tourist Association. Following are south-to-north reports on angling compiled today by the tourist association from charter boat captains, sport shops and chambers of com­ merce. GRAND HAVEN — Fishermen on the big lake are netting a good bag of Steelhead, Lake trout, and Coho, according to the Chamber of Commerce. Pier fishermen are landing Brown trout on spawn bags, crawlers, and little Cleos. Good smelt runs are reported along the beach. GREENVILLE — The Chamber of Commerce reports good bluegill action in the area’s chain-O-lakes region; Steelhead providing plenty of action, particularly on spawn bags and wigglers, on the Rogue river south of Rockford, and good sucker success everywhere. BALDWIN — Streams are low and clear and a few lingering Steelhead are hitting on streamers and spring wigglers, reports Ed’s Sport Shop. Brown trout are coming on worms and wet flies. Cool weather has slowed activity in the lakes ex- cept in deep water where Bluegills are hitting on worms. Some light hatches of stone flies in the afternoons are reported, but most fish are not rising. SCOTTVILLE — A good run of Steelhead on the Pere Marquette river is reported by Scottville Riverside Park. Steelhead are in the 1 - 8te lb. range and appear to be headed back to the big lake. LUDINGTON — Steelhead and Brown trout are coming off the breakwalls and near shore in about 8 ft. of water, it is reported by Ed Andersen of Pere Marquette Sports Center and Tamarac Sports Fishing Dock. A few King salmon are also being taken. Spoons of all kinds, par­ ticularly Rapalias, and spawn bags are best baits. A few Steelhead are still in Pere Marquette river and the area’s smelt runs are about over. Panfishing for bluegills and specs is improving steadily, redhorse are being taken in the river and bull heads are providing action on Hamlin Lake. KALKASKA — Overnight rains washed feed into area streams and slowed angler success for trout, but Brookies are still responding to spinners, reports the Chamber of Commerce. Suckers and bull heads are providing good action. Rains are expected to produce the area’s early mushroom crop. TRAVERSE CITY — Anglers are taking a variety of fish in the area, reports the Chamber of Commerce. West bay is producing Lake trout at 150 ft., mainly on green Dodgers and black and yellow Andy Reekers. Perch, Brown trout and Steelhead are hitting in East bay near Elk Rapids, Browns are in shallow water and responding best to minnows and cowbells. Whitefish are coming at 60 ft. on Swedish Pimples. Smelt runs are in progress at Elk Rapids, Leland and Northport.

Moy 17. 1978- Poge6 Field work booms with cooperating weather— Clear, dry weather throughout most of the State enabled far­ mers to increase field work ac­ tivities, according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Ser­ vice. For the week ending April 29, a minimum of 5 full days of activity was reported Statewide, with many areas recording 6 to 7 days suitable for field work. Plowing of land intended for spring planting is over 30 percent complete, a more than 10 percent advance over last week. This is only half of last year’s 64 percent, but on schedule with the normal year average of 34 percent. Soil moisture was generally adequate. However, many far­ mers indicated a need for rain. A Montcalm County farmer declared, “Activity really just got started this week. Everyone is going full tilt." In the Upper Peninsula field work lagged behind the rest of the State as some snow was still evident in fields, but melting fast. A fanner in Chippewa County stated, “Ice is still floating in the St. Mary’s River.” Another result of the dry weather and late spring in the Lower Peninsula was average to below .average pasture feed supplies for this time of year. Some alfalfa is being planted, while previous years plantings are starting to grow. CORN: The planting of corn in Michigan made little headway last week as only 2 percent has been planted versus 7 to 8 percent last year and normally. The beautiful days were followed by cool, frosted nights, leaving the ground too cold to plant. Many farmers are awaiting a warm rain to increase soil temperature and moisture. Much of the ac­ tivity was concentrated on harvesting last year’s corn, which was reported to be of poor quality, with much wildlife damage.

Oats remain far behind last year’s planting pace with 15 percent sown as compared with 76 percent in the spring of 1977. Normally, 59 percent would have been planted by now. SUGARBEETS AND POTATOES: The planting of sugarbeets made tremendous progress and is 55 percent planted Statewide, with some areas higher. This puts sugar­ beets seeding back on a normal schedule, but behind the last 2 year’s 90 percent complete. Less than 10 percent of the potatoes are planted so far compared with 22 percent last spring and 13 percent normally. Growers in the Bay City-Munger area are further advanced with 25-30 percent of the summer acreage planted. FRUITS AND VEGETABLES: Apples, peaches, pears, plums sweet cherries and tart cherries were all between the dormant and green tip stages of development. This could be a good sign for fruit growers as freeze damage should be minimized. The first bloom for all fruits is expected by May 10, with full bloom around mid-May. The first fruit sprays were already being applied as well as the continued planting and pruning of trees. Asparagus harvest has yet to begin. Expected starting date is targeted around May 8. Asparagus crowns were being planted during the week. Other reports of plantings include onion, cabbage, and cauliflower transplants as well as beets and peas.

May 17, 1978 - Page 7 New Dentists keepJMashviiie residents in happy smiles— Dr. William Rupp and Kathy Nichol give a patient the kind of treatment that Maple Valley residents are accustomed to. (Maple Valley News Photo) The recent retirement of Dr. Morris Brown in February didn’t leave the Nashville people with their mouths' opened wide. The dental office at 604 Reed St. in Nashville was taken over March 1 by Doctors William Rupp III DDS and E.K. Ferris DDS. Dr. Rupp has been in private practice in Allegan since 1969, and Dr. Ferris has been in practice in Hamilton since 1972. Dr. Ferris is at the Nashville office from 8:30-6 on Mondays, and Dr. Rupp’s Nashville office hours are 8:30-5 on Fridays. They hope to add another dentist to the staff so they can be open more days in the future. Dental hygienist Ann Taylor is presently working one day a week and will shortly be working two. Kathy Nichol is the receptionist and ean be contacted at the office Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. Dr. Rupp graduated from the University of Michigan in 1967, and Dr. Ferris graduated from the University of Indiana in 1969. Both were armed service dentists for two years following graduation: “We have done some moder­ nization to the office,” said Dr. Rupp. “We’ve added a new chair and we have plans to offer nitris exide which is very good for nervous patients. Right now we just have local anesthetic. “Some dentists shy away from small towns, but I like a small­ town lifestyle myself,” continued Rupp. “It’s nice for us to have an extra day a week of practice. “The people have been very nice in Nashville and the response has been very good.” Dr. Ferris and Dr. Rupp are each married and have two children. Dr. Rupp (in photo) and Dr. E.K. Ferris are the new dentists in residence at the Nashville dental office at 604 Reed St. The office is open on Mondays and Fridays.

Moy 17, 1978 - Poge 10 Nationwide farm survey to be launched— The latest livestock numbers and planted acreages for 1978 will be determined from a nationwide survey to be conducted in late May and early June by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The survey sample will involve a cross section of agriculture, including some 80,000 personal interviews with farmers and mail responses from thousands more. The program will be directed here by the Michigan Crop Reporting Service headed by Don J. Fedewa. The goal of the sur­ vey, Fedewa said, is to provide farmers with current information to assist them with production and marketing plans. Crop and livestock estimates help stabilize market conditions and prices for producers by removing un­ certainties caused by rumors and trade guesses. The survey will be the basis for a report to be issued by USDA June 30, estimating spring planted acreages and acreages for harvest for major crops both nationally and by states. This information will serve as the foundation for a series of yield and production estimates star­ ting July 11 and available monthly during the growing season. The number of hogs and pigs in the country will be published in late June and cattle numbers a month later to provide indications of marketings in the second halfof 1978 and early 1979. Producers cooperation is essential in pulling together a reliable set of estimates for use by all farmers.

(tfn) News from the Senate Republican information office in LansingA tough Republican substitute for the controversial lobbyist regulation bill has won approval by the Senate Judiciary Com­ mittee. The substitute was co-authored by State Senators Donald Bishop (R-Rochester), Robert Vanderlaan (R-Kentwood), and Hal Ziegler (R-Jackson), who are the three Republican members of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Committee voted 6 to 1 to send the Republican substitute to the full Senate for debate. “Our substitute lobbyist regulation bill is a comprehensive measure which ad­ dresses the public’s concern over lobbying activities, while guaranteeing the right of free speech,” Senator Bishop pointed out. Specifically, the Republican substitute defines a lobbyist as anyone who comes in personal contact with public officials, regardless of the amount of funds spent for lobbying purposes, and eliminates the original bill’s lax requirement that a minimum of $1,000 must be spent before a person could be considered a lobbyist. It further requires lobbyists to report expenditures on behalf of or in opposition to legislation. The Republican substitute is much stronger than the original bill in that it prohibits financial transactions, such as loans, between public officials and lobbyists. Senator VanderLaan pointed out that the bill’s main thrust is to assure that the public’s right to express its views through lob­ byists is protected. “The Constitution guarantees the right of free speech, and we don’t believe the Legislature should attempt to stifle this right,” he noted. Senator Ziegler said Republicans’ main objection to the original bill was based upon a belief that it would have made ever person in the state a lobbyist in the technical sense of the word. “This isn’t what the public wanted, in our opinion,” Senator Ziegler emphasized. “Our citizens have a right to know who and what amount of funds are being- spent to influence the outcome of legislation on behalf of various groups of people in the state. They also have a right to petition their elected public of­ ficials, and speak out on how they feel about legislation.” Senators Bishop, VanderLaan and Ziegler said the Republican substitute satisfies both of these rights better than any previous proposal. “We expect some corrective amendments to be offered during debate on the bill, but we are hopeful that our substitute will clear the Senate in much the same form as it was reported from Committee,” they con­ cluded.

Due to vacation, the Nashville police car was not in full-time service last week and the Barry County Sheriff’s Department handled several calls in and near the village, most of them minor property damage auto accidents. One of the more serious calls was Tuesday morning when an auto, driven away without parental permission according to a Barry County Sheriff’s Dept, report, crashed into a tree on Curtis Road and overturned. The northbound auto hit a rough spot in the road causing the driver to lose control, skid into the south­ bound lane, strike a tree as it left the roadway, and overturn. The auto ended up in a pond of water, but fortunately the driver was not injured. The car had to be towed away. Mr. Lloyd Roscoe of Battle Creek stopped by Putnam Library last week Saturday to visit. Over the years, Mr. Roscoe has donated many books to the library which have been very much appreciated. Mrs. Dave Perry and son of Jacksonville, Florida, were in Nashville last week visiting relatives. Mrs. Perry is the former Rose Ebersole, daughter of the Burton Ebersoles who recently moved to Florida from Nashville. Mr. Ebersole was also here last week on business. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce met last Wednesday evening at the Steakhouse Restaurant for their regular dinner meeting. Approximately 25 members and guests were present. Special guest were new Nashville businessmen Dave Ackett, owner of Ackett’s Country Store, and George Hermenitt, manager of the new self-service Marathon Gas Station. State Rep. Don Gilmer, who had been slated to speak to the Chamber at their meeting last week, was unable to appear as he was detained in the House hearing for expulsion of Rep. Monte Geralds (D-Madison Heights), who had been convicted of embezzling from a client. Gilmer phoned Chamber president John Mason at 4:00 p.m. from the House floor and expressed regrets at having to miss the meeting. He said the Legislature was tQ hear testimony from thirty more witnesses and expected the proceedings might last until midnight. (Later that evening, the House voted 84 to 20 to expel Geralds. That was 10 more votes than required for expulsion, and the first such action ever taken in Michigan history). Rep. Gilmer was kind enough to find a substitute speaker for the Chamber and called Mike Newman of the Michigan Retailers Association to fill his Before you buy— 4^^Check with us for Chemicals. □Atrozine riL°sso [~jDyfonate 5^ place. Newman had recently been in Nashville to speak to the NBOA. He gave an interesting talk on the value of advertising effectively, pointing out that ads must be seen, read, and beleived. He advocated use of photos, plenty of white space, simple copy reading left to right, and presentation of merchandise in an honest, factual manner. Newman urged merchants to create their own image and stick with it and not “ad-hop”. Con­ sistent, smaller ads run on a weekly basis are more effective than large ads run just once a month, he said. Newman also stressed that a courteous staff and quality merchandise are neccessary to keep customers once they have been attracted to a store by effective advertising. Several interesting topics were discussed at the business meeting of the Chamber of Commerce last week; most of them pertained to promotion of the tourism and recreational potential of our village. Chamber president John Mason and Ray Hinckley will attend the next meeting of the Riverside Recreational Development Corp. as representatives from the Chamber, offering the organizations’ help with the upcoming Harvest Festival sponsored by the RRDC, and scheduled for October 6th-7th-and 8th. The Tourist and Publicity Committee of the Chamber, headed by Randy Northover and including Dick Chaffee and Charles Andrus, will contact the Carson City Chamber of Com­ merce about participating in the Harvest Festival and inviting them to the festivities. Maple Valley hosts Carson City in the annual homecoming football game, Saturday, the 7th. Plans are underway by the RRDC for a combination Harvest FestivalHome coming Parade, preceeding the Saturday af­ ternoon game. In other business, the Chamber voted to help promote Sandyland entertainment center and campground by placing ads in the Hastings Reminder and Charlotte Shopping Guide prior to the scheduled May 29th opening of the park. Merchants were also encouraged to use a “We Believe in Sandyland” theme in their individual ads. In related action, the Retail Committee of the Chamber, headed by Jerry Johnson and including Max Kelley and Jerry Brumm, are to investigate sponsoring a show at Sandyland during the Harvest Festival as a fund-raising project for the Chamber. Sandy Salyers, owner of the park, had offered this opportunity to the organization. Further discussion followed on publication of a new brochure detailing things to do and see in Nashville, and giving general information about our village. Randy Northover and Kathy Kelley are to work together on this project. A group of antique cars is expected to drive through Nash­ ville on Sunday, June 11th, and Sue Hinckley was assigned the job of writing publicity material on behalf of the Chamber for this event, for pulication in the Maple Valley News. Dinner Committee for the June meeting of the Chamber of Commerce is: Marilyn Chaffee, Charles Andrus, and Clara Marie Spoelstra. One Nashville resident who had the opportunity to attend the recent Kentucky Derby in Louisville was Mrs. Paula (Sheldon) Murphy. Paula went to the race, held the weekend of May 6th, with other employees of Lakewood High School where she works. They stayed with relatives there and found the people in Louisville very friendly and hospitable. The weather was lovely, and the scenery was exceptionally beautiful this time ofyear with flowers in full bloom. While at the race, which is attended by many celebrities, Paula saw comedian Bob Hope and two of “Charlie’s Angels” from the television show of the same name. The race was won by “Affirmed”, ridden by young Steve Cauphen, the amazing 18­ year old jockey. Coming in second was “Alydar”, who had been favored to win. Tim Smith, Director of Public Services and Safety, advised that chloride will be applied to dirt roads in the village on May 17th. The operation will be done by a firm out of St. Louis, Michigan. In preparation for the chloride treatment, the village DPW crew has been graveling local streets. Plans for a future tree replanting program in Nashville were discussed recently when Tim Smith met with a representative of a Lansing nursery. The project of replacing dying village maples with new trees has been under con­ sideration by the village council for some time. The Nashville Fire Department responded to a grass fire located southeast of town on Section Road last Wednesday afternoon. The fire, which started from a defective trash burner, proved to be rather minor and was quickly extinquished. Mrs. Caroline Jones of Nash­ ville was ill and confined to her home last week. We are happy to report, however, that she is feeling better now. The Nashville Baptist Church enjoyed listening to the Sherwood Singers at the Sunday evening worship service, May 7th. The group is from Grand Rapids. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Ted Wills on the birth of a daughter. Mrs. Wills is the for­ mer Debbie Shupp, daughter of Mrs. Phyllis Shupp of rural Nash­ ville. The baby has been named Le Ann. Youth Week was observed by the young people of the Nashville Church of the Nazarene last week. Highlights of the week included several special weekend events. On Friday evening two films, “Troubled Waters” and “Footprints”, were shown at the church. Saturday the group enjoyed recreational activities, concluding with an evening supper served at the church. On Sunday the young people con­ ducted the evening worship service for the congregation. The annual election of officers for the Nashville Church of the Nazarene will be held Saturday, May 20th, at the church. Mr. and Mrs. Harry (Geraldine) Johnson returned to their Nashville home May 7th, after wintering for over six months at Bradenton, Florida. Mrs. Johnson reports they had a nice winter, although a little colder than usual, but they are glad to be home. There are nine Barry County families who stay in the same Bradenton mobile home park as the Johnsons—five of them from Nashville — and they enjoyed keeping in touch with home by reading the Nash­ ville News column this past winter.

The council, on a motion by Councilman Oleson, unanimously authorized Barry County to designated Calhoun County CAA as lead agency to obtain con­ tinued grant funds for several public program including Council on Aging, which sponsors daily meal at the Masonic Temple for senior citizens, and the Dial-aRide and Head Start programs. ' The council discussed the traffic hazard of the M-66 curve, near Pearl Street, but the matter was tabled as action would have to come from the State Highway Department and they have not offered any acceptable solution to the problem in the past. Councilman Purchis reported on a committee meeting vith Village Attorney Richard Shaw regarding closing of alleys on individual requests. Proper procedure requires all property owners adjacent to an alley to jointly request the abandonment, all must pay their own legal costs, each would acquire only to the center of the alley, the village must retain an easement in all cases, the alleys must be closed from block to block (not par­ tially), and only alleys not being regularly used for vehicular traffic may be abandoned. Guideline will be drawn up and printed for public information. Village Assessor Justin Cooley presented several complaints from property owners claiming their resale values have been adversely affected by Junk yard conditions of neighboring property. Charles Andrus, Zoning Administrator, outlined procedures he will undertake to correct this situation. One complaint had been received about the village garage work yard and Tim Smith was authorized to price privacy fence to shield it from view. On a motion by Councilman Oleson, the council voted ap­ proval of Barry County placing a 2-mill tax levy for road im­ provements on the August primary ballot. The council felt the public should have a chance to decide on the issue of funds requested by the county road commission. If approved, the levy would generate $10,200 for village street improvements. Tim Smith opened three sealed tool bids received by the village. Since the bids varied so widely, the council tabled the matter to allow Smith time to compare the lists to determine if equal tools were being offered. President Christiansen an­ nounced the appointment of Forrest Babcock and John Mason as council representatives to the new ambulance board. Ted Spoelstra and Tom Oleson will continue to serve on the fire board. Councilman Bill Hecker reported on further investigation of leasing a police car and, after discussion, the council decided to pursue purchasing instead.

Weinheimer, executive director, Michigan Association of School Boards. The MASB Board of Directors has voted to support a recent National School Boards Association resolution against the institution of national championships among high school athletes. The vote came at a regular meeting of the board on Friday, May 5,1978 in answer to a movement inititated and being considered by the National Federation of State High School Associations. “We believe national com­ petition would be detrimental to high school athletes and to high school athletic programs. Too much pressure would be placed on high school athletes while they are still maturing; too many youngsters would be benched while a few top performers competed; and too much em­ phasis would be placed on sports at the expense of other programs. We urge all Michigan Boards of Education to resist invitations to participate in such programs,” Weinheimer said. The Michigan Association of School Boards represents nearly 600 Michigan school districts. i Alfalfa • Sudax • Seed Corn Also full line of Lawn & Pasture Seed FARMER’S FEED AUTO & FARM SUPPLY SERVICE (ACROSS FROM CENTRAL PARK IN NASHVILLE) Hi. 852-9500 or 852-9501 Expectant parent classes to be held Catcher Jeff Zemke led the Lions hitting with two safeties.

(Maple Valley News Photo) A weekly report from: Senator Hey, I'm gonna be a truck driver when I grow up mister Richard Allen Remember the controversy last summer over whether the State Police or County Sheriff’s Departments should be authorized to patrol our state’s freeways? That controversy is well on its way to becoming a reasonable compromise. In an effort to determine exactly what roles the State Police and County Sheriffs’ Departments should play in terms of highway patrol, a special “role definition” com­ mittee was appointed last fall to study this issue. The recommendations of that special committee were recently submitted to the Legislature. In brief, the special committee recommended that the State Police patrol major roads (the interstate freeways and those with U.S. and M designations), and that the Sheriffs be responsible for patrolling all other secondary roads. Neither the State Police nor the County Sheriffs would be prohibited, however, from sharing the primary highway patrol responsibilities of the other. The committee also recom­ mended that $10 million be appropriated for County Sheriffs’ Departments, and divided up upon the basis of road mileage to be patrolled in each county, to assist Sheriffs in performing their specified duties during the upcoming 1978-79 fiscal year. The Sheriffs funding, it was emphasized, would be over and above that allocated the State Police, thus assuring absolutely no reduction in funding for troopers. Legislation was then drafted incorporating the committee’s recommendations. One of the bills (Senate Bill 1517) spells out the committee’s recommendations regarding County Sheriffs’ Departments, while the other (Senate Bill 1518) pertains to the State Police recommendations. The former measure recently won unanimous Senate approval, and the latter is expected to be reported to the full Senate for debate in the very near future. Increased funding for law enforcement has always been one of my very top legislative priorities. In my opinion, effective law enforcement is the best preventative medicine we can possibly provide as a cure for crime.

He also made the announcement in Grand Ledge, Battle Creek and Kalamazoo. Wolpe said that, if elected, he would assign at least one-third of his congressional staff to work within the district. He also pledged to institute a variety of programs aimed at getting people to use the resources of the congressional office and in- volving them in finding solutions to their own community problems. A two-term Kalamazoo City Commissioner, Wolpe spent three years as a Michigan State legislature before losing to Rep. Garry Brown (R-Schoolcraft) in the 1976 Congressional election. Wolpe resently resigned his post as regional representative for U.S. Senator Donald Reigle (DFlint) to enter the race. Wolpe,.38, his wife, Nina, and their nine-year-old son are residents of Delta Township. More travel, less gasoline consumption expected this Memorial Day Weekend Michigan motorists should squeeze more travel out of less gasoline this Memorial Day weekend than ever before over the same holiday, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. “Motorists should drive a record 720 million miles in Michigan over the 78-hour holiday, one percent more than in 1977,” stated Joseph Ratke, Auto Club touring manager. But it is estimated that the 53 million gallons needed to travel Vermontville Legion honored by band boosters The Maple Valley Band Boosters honored the Vermontville American Legion at the annual band boosters awards banquet Monday, May 15. Russ Furlong, president of the band boosters, presents a plaque to the Legionaires. The legion was honored for the cooking of the sausage used for the band boosters pancake sales during the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival. ((Maple Valley News Photo) that distance should be a half­ percent less than used over last Memorial Day weekend. “Credit for that saving must be given mainly to lighter, more fuel-efficient cars, strict en­ forcement of the 55-mile-per-hour speed limit and the motoring public’s efforts at voluntary conservation, including better travel planning and driving methods,” Ratke said. The projected fuel saving is a continuation of a trend begun this year. First quarter Department of State Highways and Tran­ sportation figures show statewide travel up three percent and new vehicle registration up four percent, but total gasoline sales down .6 percent. Ratke said those figures, plus a large increase in Auto Club member requests for routing to Michigan destinations point to another record year for state tourism. First-quarter routing requests were up 18.3 percent over 1977, with April figures 15.4 percent ahead of the same month last year. “Those increases show that the state’s 44.2-billiori tourist in­ dustry can continue to thrive without any noticeable effect on gasoline consumption,” Ratke said. The Memorial Day holiday traditionally is the year’s first big travel weekend, and it officially begins at 6 p.m. Friday (May 26) and ends at midnight Monday (May 29). Auto Club urges holiday drivers to use extra caution on Michigan roads to help keep traffic deaths down. Last Memorial Day, 31 persons were killed on state highways com­ pared to 34 in 1976. Alcohol was a major factor in last year’s deaths, with 69 per­ cent of the 28 at-fault drivers either known or suspected to have been drinking immediately prior to their accidents. By cutting alcohol use and wearing safety belts every mile driven, traffic deaths can be cut drastically this holiday, Auto Club stated. Another factor expected to reduce highway deaths sharply is the Michigan State Police “Operation CARE” program. When “CARE,” standing for Combined Accident Reduction Effort, was introduced over last Labor Day weekend, beefed-up patrols and strict speed limit enforcement on main tourist routes each day helped account for a 42 percent drop in traffic deaths from the year before. To aid motorists, Auto Club will operate its 14th consecutive “Bring ‘Em Back Alive’.” Holiday News Service from 3 to 11 p.m. Friday and from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and Monday. A team of 25 Auto Club reporters and broadcasters will provide hourly bulletins oh traffic and tourism to a network of 160 Michigan radio stations. Auto Club expects peak holiday traffic between 7 and 10 p.m. Friday, and from 2 to 10 p.m. Monday.

A steady, three-minute blast is the signal for a “warning", meaning a tornado has been sighted. When this occurs, the firemen take the trucks to various spotting points surrounding the village.

A group bus trip to the Ship­ shewana Flea Market in Indiana turned out to be an interesting experience for three local women as they learned more about the Amish way of life. Mrs. Mildred “Petie” Latta, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Ona Hinckley, and daughter, Mrs. Gordon (Susan) Gutchess, joined Mrs. Ray Gutchess of Vermontville for the trip last Tuesday. (Susan is here from Corunna, California with her young daughters, Jennifer and Ashley, for a threeweeks visit with family and friends.) The bus excursion to Shipshewana was sponsored by the Vermontville Birthday Club and about 60 guests and members made the trip which began at 8:00 a.m. and ended at 10:00 p.m. Making the trip were six adults and 15 youngsters of the Amish community recently settled in Eaton County. The Amish folks were going to visit relatives in Shipshewana, a village of about 500 residents in the heart of an Amish region located in northern Indiana. The Amish travelers did not attend the flea market but did make a stop at a farmhouse there to purchase a special meal used in their baking. Dressed in the traditional manner, the Amish folks were very friendly and informative to the other bus riders about their way of life. Reportedly several additional families from the Indiana area plan on moving to the Eaton County settlement in the near future.

To tell the truth, I don’t quite understand the strong negative reaction of the Michigan State Troopers Association to a bill, recently passed by the Michigan Senate, which would provide increased state funding for Sheriffs’ patrols. I don’t think the people un­ derstand the Troopers’ negative reaction to the bill either. Nothing is more confusing to the public than two different levels of government fighting over the same territory. Now the Governor is saying he will veto the bill, and other groups in the state are joining the battle against the Sheriffs. Some of the opposition comes from anti-union groups. Those opponents point out that the Sheriffs’ Deputies in urban areas are organized, and the AFL-CIO is a big pusher of the bill. This argument seems a little shallow, however, when you consider that the State Troopers Association is pushing a ballot issue to allow collective bargaining for themselves. The Teamsters have been mentioned as their potential bargaining organization. Much of the deep bitterness involved in this controversy has surfaced since the bill passed the Senate by a vote of 32 to 0. Actually, I view this as more of a law and order issue, than a jurisdictional dispute. There is no doubt crime is a major problem — and a major political issue. The only question is how to attack it.

(5-30) Phone 945-9554 for Action Want-Ads Notices Thank You's and News items I are campaigning for statewide office on a program of much longer sentences. There are two major problems with this sentencing approach. One is the expense. Staffing, which must cover 168 hours a week, costs a lot. But even more serious is construction expense. Maximum security prisons cost $40,000 to $50,000 per cell. Programs greatly extending sentences are projected to cost hundreds of millions in capital outlay. One of the primary concerns is that we may end up badly overbuilding prisons compared to future needs. Violent crime is very much age-related — almost all of it committed by those under 35. While we have a large bulge in our population in this age bracket now, it will soon be considerably reduced. If it is embarrassing that we overbuild schools, think of doing the same thing with maximum security prisons! An even more serious problem with the increased sentencing approach is that it may not be very effective. Criminologists tell us the likelihood of punishment, rather than the severity, is more important in a criminal’s mind. So, I think increased law en­ forcement is a most important effort. I support increased fun­ ding for Sheriffs and State Police. And, I sure wish they would quit fighting amongst themselves!

That’s what the opening of the Country Corners Market at 884 S. Clark Road (corner of M-66 and State Rd.) is to its owners Ahmo and Ardith Jordan. “Gardening has always been my favorite hobby,” said Ardith, “now it’s my business.” “We really like what we’re doing,” said Ahmo. “It’s the kind of life we always wanted, it’s the way we want to retire.” “It’s the end of a lifelong dream,” chimed Ardith. The business opened March 7. The Jordans carry fresh produce, lawn and garden care products, fertilizers, potting soils, vegetables and flowering plants, dairy products and bread. Some of the produce will be locally grown, including crops from their own farm. There are plans to expand to other areas in the future. In the past the Jordans have sold their own produce from a wagon-like stand along the roadside. They also plan to offer You-Pick-It produce on their farm. “The people are really excited about the business,” said Ardith. “In the past they’ve always had to drive so far to get fresh produce. We’ve had a very good response so far.” The Jordans are originally from the Petosky area. They lived in Lansing for 18 years where Mr. Jordan is a toolmaker at Auto Air Industries. In 1971, they bought the farm north of Nashville. In his spare time, Ahmo is an actor at the Battle Creek Civic Theatre. He has been on the civic board of directors for two years. Besides being a life-long dream, the Country Corners Market is .a tribute to their parents. Mr. Jordan’s parents provided the necessary collateral for the construction of the building through t their inheritance, and Mrs. Jordan’s folks contributed the kind of knowledge it takes to manage a produce market. The new Country Corners Market located at the corner of M-66 and State Road north of Nashville opened far business May 5.

Dave and Diane Wells perform the popular Mexican Hat Dance, which they learned as youngsters.. (Photo Supplied) Anyone wandering the halls of Maple Valley High School Tuesday evening, May 16th would have felt they were in Old Mexico. Students of the Spanish Club put on a Fiesta for their parents and friends. “Hey, Senor, have a taco; refried beans?” The food typified that found south of the border and was eaten in a setting of serapes and other decorations, with guitar music playing in the background. Following dinner, the traditional “hat dance” was explained and performed by class members David and Diane Wells. They were very im­ pressive in their native dress. David and Diane learned this dance as youngsters,” explained Jane, the mother. After a demonstration by David and Diane of the group dance La Raspa, everyone joined in to give it a try. People in attendance were invited to participate. The evening’s finale was a treat for youngsters. All had an opportunity to take three swipes with a stick at a pinata full of candy. The Spanish Club, under the able leadership of instructor Ms. Drotar, has had varied projects which have created a great deal of interest in the Spanish classes. One of the most successful, in addition to the fiestas, is the study trip taken each summer to Mexico. Ms. Drotar is quoted as saying, “This year the Spanish Club has worked very hard at both their classwork and their projects. They are to be highly commended.” West Michigan Fishing REPORT Fishing action on Lake Michigan is picking up, par­ ticularly for Chinook salmon and Lake trout and the Walleye-Pike season got off to a good although cool start, it is reported by West Michigan Tourist Association.

Cook, County Extension Director Farmers in all areas of the U.S., including our area, will soon be asked to reveal their crop acreages and livestock numbers. This annual survey of farm enterprises is used to determine future food and feed supplies that should be available at the end of the growing season. Many of our farm folks take umbrage at these surveys, feeling that such information is private and if answered at all is answered incorrectly: This is unfortunate for misinformation can sometimes boomerang injuriously. The true information always comes out Atkinson - Owen united programs in agricultural engineering and farm business management that cut across different types of agricultural industry.

The goal of the survey, Fedewa said, is to provide farmers with current information to assist them with production and marketing plans. Crop and livestock estimates help stabilize market conditions and prices for producers by removing un­ certainties caused by rumors and trade guesses. The survey will be the basis for a report to be issued by USDA June 30, estimating spring planted acreages and acreages for harvest for major crops both nationally and by states. This information will serve as the foundation for a series of yield and production estimates star­ ting July 11 and available monthly during the growing season. The number* of hogs and pigs in the country will be published in late June and cattle numbers a month later to provide indications of marketings in the second half of 1978 and early 1979. Producers cooperation is essential in pulling together a reliable set of estimates for use by all farmers. OTHERS! FARMER’S FEED SERVICE 1006 E.

TELEPHONE SALES — Governor Milliken has signed into law SB 1020, which allows people a 3-day cancellation period for sales made to them at home over the telephone, and bans the use of recorded messages in making such sales. SUMMER JOBS — Both houses have now approved SB 1350, which sets up a $7 million sum­ mer-job program for youths aged 15 to 21. The jobs will be related to Conservation and recreation and pay $2.65 an hour; apply at your local MESC office. CRIME DOWN — The State­ Police recently issued the Michigan Uniform Crime Report for 1977. It shows that total reported crime in our state declined by 5 percent in 1977 from 1976 levels; serious crimes such as murder, rape and robbery went down by 10 percent. Reasons for this are higher employment levels, crimeprevention programs and stiff sentences for gun use in crimes. SUN POWER — Now is the Senate is HB 6112, which would give income tax credits to people who install in their homes energy-conversion devices which use sun, wind or water power. This credit would be for 40 percent of the costs, up to a maximum of $3,000. PUBLIC FUNDING — We are now well into our first campaign for governor which will be financed in large part by public funds. This money comes from the checkoffs on your income tax forms, and presently stands at $5.3 million. So far, about $500,000 has been paid out; the total for the primary election could reach $3 million, with another $1.65 million to be spent this fall. HELMET LAWS — The House will again be voting on HB 4304­ 05, which would require motorcycle helmets for minors only and ban city ordinances requiring helmets. These lacked support last fall; proponents feel that present helmet laws violate their constitutional rights. VANPOOLS — Now before the House are HB 5673-74, which together would encourage vanpooling programs in Michigan. 5673 would exempt vanpools from regulation by the Public Service Commission, while 5674 would provide the means to get federal funds for vanpool programs. MINOR PARTIES — At this point it looks like there will be five minor parties on the August election ballot in addition to the two major ones. Although qualified for that election, they must each get 3 tenths of 1 per­ cent (.003) of the total primary vote to qualify for November.

Today the graduates may feel its the end of era ... no more football games, proms, homecomings, partys, plays, con­ certs, books, lockers, or pencils ... but in actuality it’s the beginning of chapter two. So far, their lives have been quite similar and uniform. Mother and father, sister and brother, teachers, classes, clubs, sports, schoolbuses, cafeteria food, and local hangouts. Now they must go seperate ways in pursuit of their own unique, individual lifestyles. For some it will be college, for some it will be marriage' and family, for others it will be work or travel. Much will be written before the book is finally closed. Maple Valley seniors have stepped into chapter two with the class motto: “Don’t walk ahead of me, for I might not follow. Don’t walk behind me, for I might not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.” The class colors are sapphire blue and pearl. The class flower is. the blue tipped white rose. It is all now history. The Maple Valley graduates are: Richard Angus, Darren Ayles, Ruth Barnhart, Sharlyn Beals, Pete Benton, David Berkiner, Steven Bitgood, Mary Bolinger, Nancy Brady, Tammy Brand, Michael Briggs, Diane Brown, Pamela Browne, Timothy Burd, Michael Burrill, Diane Bursley Bursley, Clifford Byington, Bryon Cantrell, Susan Carpenter, Kelly Christopher, Julia Clements, Bonnie Cooper, Ivan Curtis.

Cleanup of the Thornapple River and work in village parks are potential projects for the ten-week grant. Youths ages 15 to 21 are eligible for employment under the WORC (Work Opportunity Resources Corps) grant. Cleanup of the stump removal done recently in our village continued to occupy the DPW crew last week. Each hole left by the stump removing equipment is being filled with black dirt from a stockpile hauled in earlier by the crew. Reseeding grass on the bare spots will also be done by the village. Stumps have been removed on village-owned property, between the sidewalk and street, in front of many residences in Nashville. A new customer for village water service was added last week when the DPWcrew installed a new line to a home on Gregg Street. Water had previously been supplied by the homeowner’s private well. Bill Bitgood, who suffered a severe cut on his leg with an electric saw on May 27th, is much improved now and able to get around without crutches. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Tobias, Mr. and Mrs. Roger Tobias and family, and Renee Terpening, all of Nashville, and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Aspinall of Hastings spent Memorial weekend, from Friday until Monday at Fife Lake in nor­ thern lower Michigan. Snowballs in 90-degree weather surprised Floyd Shilton of Guy Road on Saturday, May 27th. Duane Hamilton, who was doing some work with his bulldozer on the Shilton property, uncovered the snow which had been apparently buried in a mound of earth during excavation earlier this year. The first that Floyd was aware of it was when he felt something cold and wet on his neck and turned to find Duane enjoying his “cold” discovery. Mrs. Helen Furlong of Nashville was in Reading, Michigan, over Memorail Day to visit Mr. and Mrs. Harold (Lois) Rigelman. Lois is Mrs. Furlong’s niece. Visitors at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth Lynch last week were Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Heavyside and two sons from Amarillo, Texas. The Heavysides are former Nashville area residents. Mrs. Lynch, who was recently hospitalized and in traction with leg problems, is now feeling much better and was able to return to herjob in Battle Creek last week. Mr. and Mrs. George (Kathryn) Augustine were in Quincy last Tuesday to attend funeral services for the husband of Mrs. Augustine’s niece. The young man, who was 25-yearsold, died in a construction accident on May 26th. He was employed by a dredging company owned by his father-in­ law, Mrs. Augustine’s brother. Surviving are a wife and two young children, ages 4 and 6. The Nashville ambulance was called to the Fuller Street School ball field Friday evening when a spectator was hit by a line drive. Mrs. Goorhouse of rural Nashville, who has a problem with deteriorating hip joints, was hit by the ball. She was transported to Pennock Hospital for treatment. The ambulance was forced to proceed with extreme caution to prevent Mrs. Goorhouse from suffering additional pain in route. mm» .Colle» ge WHo* Heoe*k *** NASHVILLE VFW 8260 & AUXILIARY DANCE Saturday, June 10 Music by — Midnight Specials (Country & Rock) Food in kitchen — Members & Guests K & S Dairy Delite MAIN STREET in NASHVILLE Summer Hours: 1:00 p.m. til Dark Special This Week... and Slush 50c (65' Value) Congratulations Sandy Land!

A state­ wide activity to take place on the campus of Michigan State University, it involves some 4,500 4-H members, teen and adult leaders. Participants go to MSU, live in one of several dorms, and take part in a variety of action-learning options and leisure activities — over 150 to choose from. Options include everything from “bicycling” and “clock making” to “keeping the backyard horse.” Besides having the chance to learn new skills that they might not be able to learn at home, kids also get to meet and make new friends from all over the state and, best of all, have lots of fun! 4-H members participating in Exploration Days can explore MSU’s 5,100 acres of land, from botanical gardens to research farms. Charter buses are available to take kids from one part of campus to another, and to transport them to options which might meet off campus. There are also dances and films, bowling and swimming, group sports activities, a planetarium program and a play for boys and girls to go to during their free time. Saturday, June 24th, is Action-Energy Day. It is an important part of Ex­ ploration Days and is organized to have selected youth demonstrate to the general public as well as other 4-H members and leaders, the skills and talents developed during the op­ tions. Action-Energy Day is open to EVERYONE — all ages! Displays will be set up in Spartan Stadium, so come and see what today’s 4-H is all about! The purpose of this one day is to help you learn: - about 4-H and its many diverse programs and ac­ tivities, — energy conservation practices and to be able to apply some of these prac­ tices back home, — about what MSU is doing in the area of energy research and education through tours and the programs taking place in the stadium area, — about new energy The best friend a fisherman can buy...

Unusually cold weather during February and the first half of March delayed the start of sap flow. Cold and deep snow in the woods discouraged some producers from tapping tre'es, but others bulldozed roads through the deep snow to the trees. The average opening date for Michigan was March 17, 11 days later than last year and much later than usual. The average closing date was April 10, 9 days later than last spring and later than usual. Temperatures were considered too cold by 49 percent of the producers, average by 39 percent and too warm by 12 percent. However, several stated that there was not enough dif­ ference between day and night temperatures to obtain good runs. Sweetness of sap was reported average by 58 percent of producers, high by 26 percent and low by 16 percent. Color was reported medium by 48 percent, light by 34 percent, and dark by 18 percent of producers. An average of 42 gallons of sap was required to make one gallon of syrup, one gallon less than the 43 gallons required for the 1977 season. Michigan syrup production is valued at $1,096,000 in 1978, down 9 percent from last year. The average price per gallon $13.70, is 30 cents above the 1977 average, but the smaller production more than offset the higher price, resulting in a lower total value than a year previous. technology relating both to energy conservation and alternative energy sources.

His hard fought, Michigan’s largest out-state Accel Lakewood Hurst Crane newspaper chain. He was also rated in the top 20 percent in the Legislature in a poll conducted by the Detroit News. In January of this year, the Michigan Agricultural Conference awarded him their annual “Outstanding Service to Agriculture” award. Later this month, the Michigan United Conservation Clubs, Michigan’s largest con­ servation organization, will present him with their “Legislative Conservationist of the Year” award at their annual convention in recognition of his efforts on behalf of conservation. While serving in the Senate, Allen has been the prime sponsor of successful legislation dealing with disease and contamination control among farm animals, noise abatement on streets and highways, and hunter access to agriculture lands through a leasing program. His bills dealing with weather modification appear to be nearing final passage after much negotiation to bring agreement of both environmentalists ahd agriculturalists. Allen is also the prime sponsor in the Michigan Senate of land use legislation planning to designed conserve agricultural and other essential lands through local planning. Allen is a Republican leader on the Senate Education Committee and a spokesman for small town and rural school districts. He is also a Republican leader on the Senate Agriculture Committee spending many hours negotiating on PBB, Mr. Gasket CAR CARE cr o o Roily Rally Cream Wax Upholstery Cleaner Special ^1 0513N m Q, O576N g Reg. 2.48 the retention of the sales tax exemption for agricultural implements, as well ass a vast array of other o agricultural issues. While in the House from 1968-1972, Allen was the prime sponsor of successful legislation in increased property tax credits (reducing tax by $7 million during the 69-70 session, $70 million in 71-72 session), public health and consumer legislation concerning ■lammability of cloth materials, mobile home park -egulations, changes in lealth services program for welfare recipients reducing illegitimacy and saving millions of dollars annually, banking and mobile home financing, and provisions for road and trail facilities for bicycling, hiking and hor­ seback riding. Dick Alien’s name is well known to area bicyclists as the originator of DALMAC, the annual “Dick Allen Lansing to Mackinac’’ bicycle ride. He has been the legislature’s leading (and often only!) spokesman for including bicycles in our transportation system since his election to the House ten years ago. Some progress has been achieved but Allen is always quick to contrast the deaths (average over 50 per year) and injuries (average over 4,000 per year) from more prominently recognized disasters such as PBB or double bottom tankers. Allen maintains the family farm operation in Gratiot County, part of which has been in the family for 5 generations, and remains associated with the Alma veterinary practice which he began in 1958. He spent nine years on the Alma College faculty teaching biological sciences. Allen has a wife, JoAnn, an Alma schoolteacher, and two children, Lester and Carri Jo. Allen promises a hard working door-to-door campaign and his traditional low priced family style farm barbecues throughout the district. “I have maintained a solid 97 percent attendance rating during my term in the Senate and I intend to fulfill my commitment until we adjourn by campaigning evenings and weekends,” he noted. “I want to call on as many voters as possible, tell them I’ve enjoyed working for them these past four years and I would like to continue,” says Allen.

Mr. and Mrs. Mike Barrett are the parents of a baby girl Tammy Sue, born at Lansing General Hospital last week. The little miss has three brothers to welcome her. Mr. and Mrs. Merle Martin entertained a hundred or more friends at a “pig roast” and potluck on Memorial Day at the Bismark Community Building. After the bountiful meal the afternoon was spent in various games such as ball games, horseshoe pitching, sack races, egg throw, etc. All had a most enjoyable time and helped to make a safe holiday. I owe Mrs. Francis Snyder an apology^for omitting her name from those who helped with the school tours through the old Eaton County Courthouse. Mrs. Snyder is one of nine members of the Eaton County Historical Commission and spent several days (part of it her vacation time) in the work of cleaning, wall papering, bringing old books and furniture down from the 4th floor to the attorney’s library. Some of these books show the effects of the fire in 1894 which par­ tially destroyed the Courthouse, and some of these law books date back to 1874. This commission is in hopes many Eaton County residents will become interested in this restoration project.

The polls of election will open at 7:00 o'clock, a.m., and close at 8:00 o'clock, p.m. At the Annual School Election there will be elected two (2) members to the Board of Education of the district for full terms of four (4) years ending in 1982. The Following Persons Have Been Nominated to fill such Vacancies: Russell Furlong Russell Geary Elam L. Rockwell the Voting places are as follows: PRECINCT NO. 1 Voting Place: Kellogg Elementary Gym, in the Village of Nashville, Michigan. The first precinct consists of all territory of the school district of former Nashville W.K. Kellogg School.

The second precinct consists of all territory of the school district of former Vermontville Community Schools. 7 All school electors who are registered with the city or township clerk of the city or township in which they reside are eligible to vote at this election. This Notice is given by order of the Board of Education. Elam L. Rockwell Secretary, Board of Education “When you criticize farmers, don’t talk with your mouth full.” This cute little saying, among the many printed in agricultural publications, points to a basic truth — what’s important to agriculture is important to everyone. As Michigan’s population, and perhaps more directly its Legislature, shifts from rural to urban, many of agriculture’s interests fade into the background. One of those interests — Michigan State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine — is dear to my heart for numerous reasons. I’m a 1957 graduate of that Institution. In those days, we insisted, I believe with justification, that our program was one of the two or three best in the country. Michigan’s agricultural community, and its rural-dominated Legislature, also insisted that it be so; and funded it ac­ cordingly. By the time I arrived in the Legislature in the late 1960’s, the situation had deteriorated considerably, however, Michigan’s funding of its Veterinary College had dropped to one of the lowest levels in the country. Facilities, programs, and staff had not kept pace. Two factors, and a third I might like to add with an un­ becoming lack of modesty, are changing this now. PBB pointed out a dangerous deficiency in our veterinary services, a deficiency of concern not only to our farmers, but even more so to our consuming population. We lacked a coordinated, concentrated, intense, and capable diagnostic capability aimed at animal problems. Local, state, and university veterinarians were all called in on the first case of PBB poisoning. However, had it not been for the fact that the farm owner, Fred Halbert, was a chemist, and, as it turned out, both a persistent and lucky one, no diagnosis would have ever been made. Nothing done after the great delay in diagnosis could have had a really significant affect on the total PBB eaten by humans — and therein lies the basis for all later political rhetoric and finger-pointing. The recognition of our deficiency in diagnostic capability coordinated with a second event — the arrival at Michigan State University of an ambitious, brash, pushy new Dean of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. John Weiser. To the distress of some, but to the delight of many of us, Dr. Weiser began to tell anyone who would listen just what was wrong with our program. Thirdly, as I already admitted somewhat immodestly, we had a veterinarian in the Senate. Actually, I’ll have to admit my role was secondary, however, to that of an influential Democratic Senator from Madison Heights who takes a strong interest in horses. Through this combination of circumstances, we are not taking steps to establish a much more capable and farreaching annual diagnostic service at MSU, and a better College of Veterinary Medicine. This will be of benefit to farmers and the entire consuming public of Michigan. Coordinated with other programs, Michigan-produced food in again becoming the purest, safest, and highest quality in the country.

Fry is as upset, as the taxpayors are, with the current piecemeal approach to property taxation; Which is becoming a hodgepodge of offering pie in the sky and a drastic drain on the pocketbook for the general taxpayer. Most people know that bonding companies will not buy bonds without the full faith and credit against property. This can create a severe tax burden against property at a time it can be least afforded. We must have fair and equal treatment under the law for all, and that is not going to happen as long as we allow Big Brother to stick us with piecemeal laws that serve special interest and foster more bureaucracy. Fry was surprised by the bottleneck created by the outdated and inefficient traffic light at St. Johns. This is a prime example of poor politics as the situation could easily be alleviated by up­ dating the traffic light control, as has been done in other areas. It could save thousands of gallons of gas consumed waiting in long lines on busy weekends and during rush hours. Ken is looking forward to the campaign even though the district is a large sprawling one containing over 240,000 people. Maple Valley Class of 78 ...We look to you for the future. on a pest alert! by Warren J. Cook, County Extension Director Many farm publications have extensive articles regarding the pros and cons of Integrated Pest Management (IPM). It is a newsworthy subject because of the controversy IPM is causing in some of the cornbelt and western states. Here in Michigan, a dif­ ferent approach has been taken. Michigan State University has hired several competent college students studying in related subjects, to survey specific crops in selected fields each week in order to determine what pests are emerging or causing damage. These young people work out of County Extension offices and cover several counties. The person serving Eaton County is Kris Burgmeir and is located in Jackson. By this method, we can determine, for example, how serious an outbreak of alfalfa weevil will be and when to expect the most damage to be done. This method was started last year and proved to be very suc­ cessful. So if you are worrying just when to expect to see a particular insect become a serious pest, just call us. We may not have the answer at the moment but we soon will. Norma Shance Stan Trumble Mary Trumble e^uto-Owners Insurance bfeHoreCarBiJSiness 178 S.

The New Vic Theatre troupe performs comedy and drama in a News from the state Republican information office State Senator Harry DeMaso wants more than assurances from state budget officials that a share of our taxpayers’ dollars are being saved to help Michigan get through future economic downturns. The Battle Creek Republican is sponsoring legislation which would require money appropriated for the state’s Budget Stabilization Fund, or rainy day account, to be deposited into separate savings ac­ counts at Michigan banks. “Currently, the funds specifically appropriated by the Legislature for the Budget Stabilization Fund are co-mingled with all other state funds,” Senator DeMaso explained. “What this means is that the money is available on paper only. I want to see a bank balance which would prove that these funds are actually being set aside in savings accounts so that if and when we need these dollars, they’ll really be there. “When the Budget Stabilization Fund was created, the people of our state were told that they were going to have a savings account,” he pointed out. “In reality, all they have now is assurances from state budget officials that the' money is being saved. If we’re going (o be honest, and I believe we should be, then we must separate our savings from all other,funds and deposit Budget Stabilization Fund revenues in savings accounts. That’s the only way we’ll be able to guarantee our state’s tax­ payers that we do indeed have a Budget Stabilization Fund.” Specifically, the DeMaso bill would strike a provision in the Budget Stabilization Fund law which allows those funds to be combined with other funds, and replace that provision with a requirement that Budget Stabilization Fund revenues be deposited in separate savings accounts within 180 days of passage of his bill. It would further require that a statement showing where these revenues are'deposited, and the amount saved and in­ terest earned, be submitted quarterly to the Legislature. The Budget Stabilization Fund was created in 1976, and according to state budget reports, currently has a balance on paper of $105.3 million. The DeMaso bill was in­ troduced Wednesday in the Michigan Senate, with the bi­ partisan support of 26 of the 38 members of the Upper Chamber. 1. Wyandotte Community Theatre, Wyandotte 2.

Others receiving votes for the two vacancies on the board were Russell Furlong with 135 votes, and George Hubka and Phillip Scott with one write-in vote each. There were 316 ballots cast. School districts in every state in the Union asked tax­ payers around the country to elect new school board members today. The education of America’s youth is one of the most im­ portant factors concerning the future of the country. Someday, the youngsters today will inevitably be the leaders of tomorrow. Not all students posses the same scholastic appitudes, but even the most gifted can only learn as much as the school provides. Several aspects are important...the quality of teachers, the educational programs offered, learning aids and equipment available, books and extra-curricular ac­ tivities. The school board is another important factor to take into account. The school board members make the decisions that effect the future of the young people in the entire school district. They must make the best with the financial means available to the school district. School board members should receive the recognition due them for a job that will effect the future of all of us.

June 14. 1978 -- Page 2 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley A swarm of bees in Central Park attracted a swarm of spectators last Monday when a young lady, Mrs. Cindy (Babcock) Myers, arrived in a beekeeper’s outfit to capture the undesirable inhabitants. The honeybees had made themselves at home in a small bush near the front of the park, adjacent to Village Hall. A passerby spotted the bees and stopped by the Hall to notify Village Treasurer Lois Elliston. Arrangements were made to have Cindy take the swarm for her father, Dean Babcock of Nashville, who keeps bees. Fully protected with special gear, Cindy brushed the queen bee into a box in which she had first placed some honey from the hive. The queen would not leave the box as long as the honey was present, and the worker bees soon flocked to join her. The box was left open near the bush until sundown to attract the remaining bees as they returned to the area in the evening. Barricades were placed around the site to protect unwary pedestrians until the final capture was made. The Dean Babcocks, who live in the former Dryfoos place at Lake One, have several beehives on their property for the production of honey. High school graduation exercises and activities kept many Nashville folks very busy the first weekend in June. Open houses throughout the area honored the graduates at their homes following the Sunday ceremonies at the school. Sunny but cooler weather was enjoyed during the weekend festivities for the Class of ‘78. Last Tuesday was an especially happy day for local youngsters as they began their summer vacation from school. An unusual amount of joyous noise, heard throughout the village at noon, heralded the end of the school year. Observing the 50th anniversary of their graduation from Nashville High School, the Class of 1928 gathered at the United Methodist Church community house in Nashville bn the afternoon of June 3rd, proceeding the annual Alumni Banquet. Ten of the eleven living members of the original sixteen-member class were present for the event, with more coming from as far as the west coast for the occasion. Attending were: Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Garlinger from Olympia, Wash.; Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wright, who summer in i Ludington and winter in Florida; Mrs. Geraldine (Buffington) Baker from Battle Creek; Mr. and Mrs. Jack (Ruth Bassett) Southern from Riverside, Calif.; Mrs. Bryan (Effa Dean) De Bolt from Battle Creek; Lee Myers of Vassar, Mich.; Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Belson from Hastings; and Mrs. Phyllis (Brumm) Rizor, Mrs. Mildred (Caley) Me Peck, and Miss Genevive Hafner, all of Nashville. A few other community residents stopped by the church to enjoy the reunion. The class prophecy was read and found not to have been very accurate. The former schoolteacher, Mrs. Clarence (Bernice) Shaw of Nashville, who taught the class in second and third grade, was honored when they sent the floral centerpiece from their table to her home. At the alumni Banquet held later in the evening at Maple Valley High School, the class was seated together and received special recognition as the 50th year graduates. In addition, Ruth (Bassett) Southern was honored as the graduate traveling the farthest distance to attend the event. Members of the Nashville Garden Club met at the home of Mrs. ;Clifford (Evelyn) Mason on Lawrence Road last Tuesday and answered roll call by naming a flower currently in bloom at their homes. Mrs. Nellie Moon brought an unusual blossom, the Dutchman’s Pipe, to show the ladies. The flower, shaped like a miniature pipe, grows on a vine near the porch of Mrs. Moon’s home in Nashville. Beautiful floral scenes, sunrises and sunsets were enjoyed when Mrs. Mason showed Slides, taken in her travels, featuring the beauty of nature. Asparagus and sweet pea were discussed as the vegetable and flower of the month. A business meeting was conducted and refreshments served to the ladies to conclude a most pleasant afternoon. Genevieve Hafner reports that her mother, Mrs. Emily Hafner, received many cards, flowers, visitors, and long­ distance phone calls on her 98th birthday which she ob­ served May 21st. Mrs. Hafner has spent the past 76 years in our community. She enjoys having Genevieve read the Nashville News column to her each week so we take this opportunity, with her many friends, to send her very best wishes. June 13th will see the opening of a summer softball league for thirteen area churches. Participating locally will be the Church of the Nazarene, the Nashville Baptist Church and the Vermontville Bible Church. Other church members come from Hastings and various communities, the farthest away being Cedar Springs.

A Nazarene District Impact Team will be at the local Church of the Nazarene on June 25th to present a Sunday evening musical concert at 7:00 p.m. at the church.

If the credit is larger than the actual June bill, the difference will be applied to bills in later months, or a customer may ask to have the difference paid by check. If a person who had gas service in February, March or April is no longer a customer of Consumers Power, the utility will send a refund check to the customer’s last-known address. These checks probably will not be issued until July and August 1978, according to the aggreement. Consumers Power will be returning some $23 million plus interest to retail customers, an amount overrecovered throughoperation of the stan­ dardized gas adjustment clause (PGA). The stan­ dardized PGA allows a gas utility to recover from its customers certain increases in the cost of its gas supplies, if the cost go up over a level previously set as a base. If the company recovers more from its customers than its costs, a refund is made. If it underrecovers, it cannot charge customers any ad­ ditional money to make up the difference. For a typical residential customer the credit will amount to about $10 to $20.

The Governor has vowed to veto the bill because it is a “porkbarrel” and hurts the State Police. ENERGY AGENCY-The House will soon vote on HB 6311, which would set up an independent state energy agency. However, this is not the comprehensive Energy Department proposed by the Governor; also, it would automatically die in 2 years. PRIVACY AMEND­ MENTS proposed con­ stitutional amendment to guarantee a person’s right to privacy has again been sent to committee. Opponents say that language in SJR “D” needs to be clarified; sup­ porters say this is a move to kiD it. REDLINING PACKAGE­ Governor Milliken has signed into law four bills which impose a 6-month ban on “redlining” of auto and homeowner insurance. Redlining is the practice of denying a service to people in a given area merely because they live in that area. These new laws allow cancellations for specific reasons, while the House develops a comprehensive solution. SUPPORTING ROLE-The House has approved HJR “R”, which proposes a constitutional amendment to allow a Lieutenant Governor vacancy to be filled by ap­ pointment. There is no way to fill a vacancy now. If the Senate also approves, you will be voting on this in November. BAIL DENIAL-The Senate will soon vote on HJR “Q”, which would allow bail to be denied for people accused of armed robbery, kidnapping for blackmail, violent crime while on bail, and certain other felonies. If this gets a 2­ 3 vote, it will be on the ballot in November. FISHING WAR-The escalating “war” between the U.S. and Canada over commercial fishing rights has spread to sport fishing as well, with the U.S. banning Canadians from sport fishing in U.S. waters. Canada has not banned U.S. sport fishing. The Michigan DNR Director has told con­ servation officers not to enforce the U.S. ban since its legality is questionable.

Antique barbershop furnishings donated to Charlton Park-— Story by: Susan Hinckley Another significant con­ tribution from the Nashville area was made to Charlton Park’s Historical Village last week when Mrs. Nor­ man E. (Nyla) Stanton donated the furnishings from the Main Street barbershop of her late husband, Myrton Z. Watrous, to the park. Frank Walsh, director of Charlton Park and Museum, expressed the park’s ap­ preciation as he began removal of the equipment last Wednesday. Included in the gift were a mirrored oak backbar with cabinets and two antique barber chairs. “Over the years many Nashville area patrons of the barbershop became accustomed to the old fur­ nishings and I felt many of these people would enjoy seeing the equipment at the park”, said Mrs. Stanton, adding that “it (the donation) would have made Myrt happy”. Watrous, who died in 1974, operated the shop for twenty years until his retirement in 1973. Caleb “Cap” Sprague was the first barber to oc­ cupy the shop in 1914, and the equipment dates from that time. Sprague sold the shop to J. Robert “Bob” Smith in 1938, and Watrous acquired the business in 1953 from Smith. “This is probably the only Action Ads PARTY PLAN SUPERVISORS — MERRI MAC toy parties has openings for supervisors and demon­ strators in your area.

(6-21) total barbershop equipment available in Barry County for use in the park” stated Mrs. Stanton. Charlton Park Historical Village, a recreation of a nineteenth century farming community, contains only buildings from Barry County and all have been donated. An 1850 stagecoach inn, an 1869 school, and an 1885 church were all moved intact from their original locations in the county as was the 1858 Sixberry house, moved to the park in 1977 from its site near Nashville. In addition, the village contains a reconstructed bank, blacksmith shop, general store, carpenter shop, hardware, and print shop. At Charlton Park, located midway between Nashville and Hastings, the Watrous barbershop furnishings join other notable contributions from the Nashville area, including the old cage-jail once located in the village and the antique printing press from the Nashville News office.

Nashville. Wednesday. June 14, 1978 - Page 9 A weekly Report from; Senator Richard Allen Some people are surprised-but not those who know me well-to find I am delighted with the passage of Proposition 13 in California. Two reasons prompted by positive reaction. First, Proposition 13 (unlike Michigan’s tax limitation proposal) is aimed primarily at the property tax, reducing it dramatically. It has always been my position that Michigan, like most states, depends too heavily on the property tax. To the extent that Californians demand the continuation of certain vital services, such as education and law en­ forcement, and I believe they will, broader-based state funds will have to be used. But any new state taxes-there will require a two-thirds vote by the people, no doubt hard to achieve. There will have to be considerable public agitation for new taxes,and this will not occur until people really feel the pinch on services. In short, the whole process in California will likely be very disruptive to individuals and to their state economy as a whole. So while I’m happy to see it happen, I’m also happy it’s happening in California. Which leads to the second reason I’m happy to see 13 pass. The strength of our country lies now, as it did in 1776, in the diversity and independence of out state. We can experiment at the state level without risk to the country as a whole, broadly adopting successful innovations and rejecting those proving otherwise. Michigan has been a leader and innovator among states in many areas of public policy. And frankly, one of the areas in which we have led is the one that now is raising the citizens’ hackles-spending money! Looking back on our 40-year experience in this area, I think history might show we were right for some time and have only recently erred. For the first 20 years, high public expenditures in Michigan were primarily spent on what is sometimes called the infrastructure of society—transportation, education, law enforcement, etc. Remember how we proudly proclaimed, with justification, our highways the best in the country? Was this the result of our leadership in the auto industry, or did we assume and maintain that leadership because we were more willing than most to commit tax dollars to roads? Arid this highway networkhelped to build our state into a leader in manufacturing of all kinds, as well as tourism, despite being located off-track of major cross-coutry road systems. We were also leaders in higher education and in agriculturalists, engineers and technicians, as well as research innovations produced at the University of Michigan and Michigan State University. Then the host of excellent higher education institutions pushed Michigan’s prosperity even further upward. We forged ahead of other states in public funding of K-12 education, providing good material for these colleges and making Michigan an attractive place for business and professional leaders to locate (as these groups put a high priority on their children’s education). In addition, our State Police were early-recognized among the best, and Jackson Prison provided the country’s best facility to back up strong law enforcement. In my opinion, these high public expenditures helped to make Michigan a leader in private prosperity. Taxes were high, but services were excellent, and Michigan was a good place to do business. But in the last 20 years, priorities have shifted. In­ creasingly higher taxes have gone for income-redistribution programs, the welfare-state approach. And those who pay increasingly correctly perceive that their money is going not for better services, but for others who are not paying. Resentment focuses on men who could work and don’t, and on women who have babies without being able to support them. Michigan is no longer exceedingly prosperous compared to other states. The South is attracting prosperity by copying our early expenditure efforts and avoiding our more recent activities. Michigan should learn from other states. What will we learn from California? It’s too early to tell. Attention Mid-Michigan residents! It’s “pick-your-own” time, reports State Senator Dick Allen (R-30th District). “Picking your own fresh fruits and vegetables, or buying them from roadside markets, is an economical way to assure that your family receives the nutrition these foods provide,” he pointed out. “and, from now until the end of summer is the time to venture out on a sunny day and take advantage of the agricultural bounty our state has to offer.” Senator Allen encourages Mid-Michigan residents to obtain the Michigan Department of Agriculture’s 1978 “pickyour-own” directory, entitled “Michigan Country Carousel, A Guide to Pick-Your-Own Farms and Roadside Markets”, to find out what types of produce will be available throughout the summer and where to pick or purchase it. The directory provides a county-by-county list of growers and farm markets across the state, and contains the name and address of each farm, a description of how to get there, a list of fruits and vegetables available, when the farm or market is open, and the telephone number to call for information. Brumm’s to celebrate 50th wedding anniversary The children and grandchildren of Nelson and Geneva Brumm will be hosting an open house to honor their parents 50th wedding anniversary on Sunday, June 25 from 2 to 5 in the afternoon at the United Methodist Community House, on Washington Street in Nashville. Friends and relatives are cordially invited to share this day with them. They request no gifs please. “This booklet is a handy reference both for those who have never experienced the fun of seeing how fruits and vegetables are grown and harvested, as well as for those who’ve been picking their own for years,” Senator Allen noted. The directory is available for free from the Michigan Department of Agriculture, Information and Education Division, Lewis Cass Building, Lansing, MI 48909.

They belong to the Grand Rapids Branch of the Horseless Carriage Club of America. The oldest car I noticed was a 1923 Ford Coupe with a rumble seat but there may have been older cars. Mr. Robert Finch, the president said there were cars from Ludington, Holland, Grand Haven, Ionia, Belding Lansing, etc. with the greatest number from Grand Rapids. Mr. and Mrs. Guy Wheaton are at the Eaton County Medical Care Facility and at latest word are showing im­ provement.

Letter to the editor - . ■ To the editor; I have stated many times in the past that your photo reproductions are the best in the media. An* example of that was demonstrated last Sunday morning when I met an elderly gentldman at the Methodist Church. He said, "You're Ernie Nash aren't you". He went on to say we had never met before but he had seen my picture in your paper. Keep up the excellent work. Sincerely, ERNEST W. NASH State Representative Hot weather arrives for Michigan crops— After weeks of waiting for spring to arrive, the cool weather was snapped by a hot, humid streak. Ac­ cording to the Michigan Crop Reporting Service, the weather was such that fields dried out allowing farmers to get back into action at full speed. Nearly 6 days were suitable for field work ac­ tivity as the plowing of land intended for spring planting reached 90 percent complete for the week ending May 27. Soil moisture supplies were generally adequate Statewide, but a good rain would be welcomed. One Cass County farmer sized up the situation by stating, “Excellent weather this week allowed farmers to ‘catch up’, if you can stand the pace.” Though the weather this spring hasn’t been perfect, a general concensus Stateside was that this spring was a good one and much better than was experienced last year. Pasture feed supplies were 80 percent adequate. A farmer from Lapeer County gave the most optimistic judgement of the year, “Everything is growing like crazy.” CORN: Over 75 percent of the corn has been planted, right on schedule with the five year average. Last spring 95 percent was in by this date. Early planted corn was up over much of the State and looking very good. Farmers were working around the clock to get the last of the com in while the weather was favorable. SMALL GRAINS: Winter, wheat is making good progress in all areas. Wheat head development is off to a late start as virtually none has headed. Oats are up and in good condition. The warm weather should push growth of all grain crops. POTATOES AND SUGARBEETS: Favorable weather allowed the planting of potatoes to pick up steam as nearly 85 percent were in the ground. This is ahead of the normal 70 percent and close to last spring’s 90 percent planted. The Bay City-Munger summer potato area exceeded the Statewide lOlbs. FREE WHEN YOU BUY A 5Olb.

SOYBEANS AND DRY BEANS: The planting of soybeans made excellent headway and is 30 percent completed. Last spring 75 percent had been planted, while 35 percent is normal. Dry beans planting was just getting started as less than 5 percent has been seeded. Planting of navy, kidney and cranberry beans is expected to be heavy this coming week. The above planting is on schedule, but a little behind last year. FRUITS AND VEGETABLES: The beauty of spring was present this past week as most fruit trees reached full bloom and were nearing petal fall at week’s end. The harvest of asparagus reached 40 percent com­ plete. An Oceana County farmer commented, “This was a real good week for asparagus. It just keeps popping up.” The harvest of strawberries is expected to start in Southwest Michigan by June 10. Right now they are in full bloom. Transplanting of tomatoes and peppers was heavy.

Soil moisture supplies are steadily im­ proving and are presently adequate. Land preparation, during the later half of the week, made some progress as warm weather finally arrived. Plowing of fields intended for spring crops edged up to 75 percent complete. This compares with 95 percent last spring. Pasture and hay fields were looking much better after the rain. A farmer from Muskegon County stated, “No rain is needed for at least another week. Low spots are plenty wet.” CORN: Corn planting was hampered by wet fields reaching just over 50 percent complete. This is behind both last year’s 85 percent planted and the 55 percent normal. Corn was either up or emerging from Central to Southern Michigan. Good stands were evident, aided by the favorable weather. SMALL GRAINS^ Winter wheat was considerably improved, thanks to the rain. The seeding of oats was reaching it’s final stages as nearly 95 percent was sown. The Upper Peninsula was still behind the rest of the State, but doing fine with just under 80 percent seeded. In Lower Michigan, oats were coming up and looking good.

Beets are up in parts of the State and in good condition. Michigan beef cook-off contest '78 begins— Amateur chefs who enjoy competition in the kitchen should ready themselves for the 1978 Beef Cook-Off Contest sponsored by the Michigan Beef Industry Commission. Contest finals will be held Tuesday, August 29 at the Michigan State Fair. The winner will represent Michigan at the National finals to be held in early September in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Approximately 45 states will be holding preliminary contests to determine national finalists. According to Retha Hankey, Home Economist for the Michigan Beef In­ dustry Commission, the contest is designed to stimulate creation of beef recipes utilizing chuck, round, rump, or fresh brisket cuts of beef. “It seems consumers are always looking for different ways to prepare America’s number one entree - beef,” says Hankey. “Besides discovering new recipes, we are hoping to educate con­ sumers about preparation of these various cuts of beef. Certain cuts must be treated differently from others because of many factors including texture, tenderness and fat content.” To be eligible, contestants must be 18 years or older, and they cannot have a professional status within the food industry. Beef dishes must contain a minimum of two pounds of beef and not more than five pounds. Recipes will be judged on the basis of taste, appearance, originality, ease of preparation and practicality. Recipes should be original and contain no other meat product. First prize for the Michigan winner will be an all-expense paid trip for two to the National Beef Cook-Off along with a basket of what else - beef steaks! Top prize for the national contest is $1,500 with cash prizes for eight other top places. Both the state and national Beef Cook-Off contests are different from most cooking contests because they operate ata grass-roots level without commercial spon­ sorship. To enter your favorite recipe in the 1978 contest, send it to “Beef Cook-Off”, Michigan Beef Industry Commission, 805 Stoddard Building, Lansing, MI 48933. Be sure to include your name, address, and phone number. All entries should be received by July 15, 1978.

Spring commencement ceremonies for 4,982 degree candidates, including three from Nashville, was held at Michigan State University Saturday, June 10.

Honorary doctor of laws degrees were presented to Foley and Judge Damon J. Keith, U.S. District Judge for the eastern district of Michigan. MSU president Edgar L. Harnden, presided over the ceremonies. Some village residents report being bothered with loud and disturbing noises since a federal court recently overruled Michigan’s ban on fireworks. Merchandisers of the explosives have found a loophole in the 45-year-old state law which prohibited the possession, use and sale of fireworks, and are openly selling them in several nearby cities. The state legislature now has a new bill governing fireworks under consideration in committee, but it ap­ parently will not be acted upon before the July 4th holiday. Officer Art Long of the Nashville Police Department apprehended two juveniles last Thursday evening who had broken a window in the sugar shanty at Putnam Park, en­ tered and were leaving with a gallon of syrup. The youngsters were turned over to their parents. Improvement of village-owned property consumed much .of the discussion at last Thursday’s Village Council meeting as the council heard several reports on tree-planting and park projects. A camper club from Woodbury has volunteered to spend a weekend in Nashville next fall planting trees to replace the dying maples. The club, comprised of 14 members and their families, has both a spring and fall conservation project each year and after reading about the plight of village trees in the Nashville News column, offered their assistance. The club’s offer was relayed to the council by Carl Tobias, who had been contacted by the group. Tim Smith reported that an offer of saplings, to be donated by a property owner south of town, had also been received. The council showed great enthusiasm for making the tree planting a community-wide weekend project with help of the Woodbury group. Tobias will make further contact with the club and report back to the council. The council took action benefiting the parks when they adopted an updated Parks and Recreational Plan, prepared by Tim Smith, Director of Public Services and Safety. The plan, which was submitted Friday to the DNR in Lansing, will enable the village to qualify for land and water con­ servation grants. Tim Smith also reported on combining the parks and cemetery board into one entity, which had been suggested by President Christiansen at the last council meeting. Pointing out that most municipalities are set up that way, Smith said our present duplication of manpower and equipment costs the village too much. Although current park labor is mostly volunteer, Smith said the village could not continue to indefinitely rely on this source to maintain the parks. The cemetery caretaker is paid a weekly wage year around, with little to do in the winter, he said, and one man could be hired full time for both jobs. Additional part­ time summer help would be added and Smith thought the total hourly cost would be less under a combined system. President Christiansen appointed Councilmen Hecker, Oleson and Purchis to formulate a long-range study of the plan. The WORC grant, to employ youths ages 15 to 21 for ten weeks this summer, has been filed with the DNR but word of approval has not yet been received, Smith reported. The 100­ percent funded program would hire the young people for conservation and recreational related projects on publicly owned lands. The council also voted to meet a June 15th application deadline for a Local Assistance Funding grant through HUD. The monies may be used for planning and feasability studies for development of the community. Following a lengthy discussion the council, by a 4 to 2 vote, . approved spending $5,807 to purchase a used air compressor with attachments for the DPW. The equipment will be bought from a Grand Rapids firm. The same request had been turned down by the council at their last meeting. Councilman Hecker questioned spending such an amount of money, considering the limited use he felt the equipment would receive. Smith said the DPW had probably used an air compressor only 20 days last year, but often made do without one because of the expense and- time consumed in going out of town for a rental, at the current rate of $14 per hour. Hecker suggested the DPW committee, headed by Councilman Oleson, analyze the situation and report back to the council with a recommendation. Oleson countermanded this suggestion by making a motion to purchase the equipment. Councilman Hecker and Purchis voted no, with Oleson, Babcock, Mason and Spoelstra voting yes. President Christiansen appointed Ted Spoelstra to replace John Mason on the newly-formed ambulance board. Mason cannot serve due to a conflict of interest, Christiansen said, as he is a member of the fire department which runs the ambulance service. A homeowner, whose land adjoins the village garage property, offered to purchase a 20 foot wide strip of lanlan­ dlocked village property at the rear of his lot. The council decided the proper procedure would be to offer both ad­ jacent property owners the opportunity to submit sealed bids on the land, if interested. Zoning laws forbid it being sold to other than adjoining owners. Action will be taken at the next council meeting. A separate police department equipment fund was established by a unanimous vote of the council. This step will end the present system, with the police and DPW sharing a dual account of funds designated- for equipment purchases. Nashville's (G » . AT GOOD OLD FASHIONED PRICES!

The massive project to remove litter along road­ sides, in parks and recreation areas and in municipalities will be designed to give Michigan a sprucing up in the first spring following im­ plementation of the “bottle bill.” MUCC led the drive that resulted in overwhelming voter approval of a measure to ban throwaway beer and soft drink containers in 1976. The bill, which requires deposits on bottles and cans. will take effect next Dec. 3. It is aimed at reducing litter, conserving energy and minerals used in the manufacture of bottles and cans and alleviating the solid waste disposal problem. “The Michigan Deposit Law gives us a great op­ portunity to rid our state’s roadsides, parks and neighcontinued next col. jtaai.^3^' ww*S5 riieS*t^5 #> LjwfcW1 Community Events . .

The fire consumed a double corn crib and .connecting storage building, about 40 sq. ft. in area, containing 1,400 crates of corn, 40 to 50 bales of straw and a -1957 Chevrolet stationwagon. Firbmen used a bulldozer from the Department of Natural Resources to move the corn during the fire. Kennedy told Hastings Police Chief Donald Sothard he had been burning old boards the previous Saturday, but thought they were extinguished.

HEALTH CODE - Both houses have approved HB 4070, a 450-page revision of our state public health laws. However, due to the many amendments added in the Senate, a con­ ference committee must iron out differences before it can become law. FIREWORKS BAN - Governor Milliken has decreed a ban on the sale of certain-fireworks, while the House has passed HB 4897 and 6316 which would limit legal fireworks to small items. This responds to a court ruling allowing fireworks sales. BUDGET PROGRESS - The legislature continues to work on the 1978-79 budget. In recent days the House has approved bills appropriating several billion dollars in state and federal money; spending for education is up while state welfare spending will decline slightly. This is due to a decrease in welfare caseloads; thus individual benefits can be increased. TAX LIMITATION - The House Republican Leader has given his support to the tax-limitation petition drive presently under way in Michigan. His point is that with so many special interests making demands on the legislature for special programs, the only way to thwart those demands is to limit taxes and therefore limit the amount available to be spent. SPOUSE ABUSE - The House has approved HB 5306, which would set up a state domestic violence prevention and treatment board which could approve grants of up to $55,000 for local governments and private agencies to set up emergency shelters plus counseling and other services. AFRICAN BILL - Now before the House is HB 6341, which would prohibit Michigan colleges and universities from investing in corporations that do business in South Africa. Opponents argue that since this includes so many com­ panies, it will be hard to find good investments. -HIGH RIDERS - The Governor has signed into law SB 179, which outlaws passenger cars with jacked-up rear ends; bumper heights may not be altered to less that 14” or more than 22” above the ground. Raised rear ends affect steering, braking, and expose the fuel tank.' METRIC SALES - Both houses have now approved SB 168 and 169, which allow merchants to sell goods and gasoline in metric quantities. When these soon become law, sellers may use either pounds and quarts, grams and liters, or both.

A bulletin filled with questions and answers on solar heat may help you, according to Eaton County home economist Ann Ross. In Michigan, a regular, conventional heating system is needed in conjunction with the solar system. Until recently solar energy was not economical. However, it is becoming increasingly competitive with electricity and oil. It could be well worth your time to investigate possibilities of solar space heating or water heating. For more information, ask for bulletin E 1163 at the Eaton County Extension office. Beef for the barbequer on a budget Meat prices got you discouraged and wondering how you can have steak on the grill without blowing your budget. Beef chuck blade steaks are always an excellent and economical choice for grilling or in-door broiling. Costing considerably less than loin cuts, these steaks from the beef chuck are somewhat less tender. According to Retha M. Hankey, Home Economist for the Michigan Beef Industry Commission, “marinating these steaks provides op­ portunity to add a complimentary flavor and has a ten­ derizing effect.” For a tasty example of just how good blade steaks can be, here is one to try. Beef Steaks Mediterranean 2 beef blade steaks, cut % to % inch thick % cup lemon juice 1% teaspoons salt 3 tablespoons orange marmalade % teaspoon oregano 2 tablespoons salad oil % teaspoon hot sauce. Combine lemon juice, orange marmalade, oil, salt, oregano and hot sauce in saucepan. Bring to boil, reduce heat and cook slowly 5-10 minutes, stirring occassionally. Cool. Place steaks in a flat pan or plastic bag. Pour marinade over steaks, turning to coat all sides. Marinate in refrigerator 4-6 hours or overnight. Place steaks on grill or on rack in broiler pan 4-5 inches from heat. Broil at moderate temperature for 7-10 minutes on each side, depending on degree of doneness desired. Brush with marinade before and after turning. Makes 4-6 servings. Breathe the fresh music . . . at 4 th annual Bluegrass Festival at Charlton Park, Sunday Hastings, Sunday, June 25, folks will pack up friends and family and head to Charlton Park, near Hastings, where they have been invited to “Come out and breathe the fresh music” at the fourth annual Thornapple Bluegrass Music Festival, Starting at 12:30 p.m., bluegrass and old-time musicians from throughout western Michigan will perform in the natural ampitheater of the Park’s restored village of the late 1800’s, nestled on the banks of the Thornapple River. Pickin’ and singin’ on the six-hour program will be the Sweet Corn String Band of Kalamazoo, the Williams Family and Horsefeather of Grand the Rapids, Roustabouts from both of those cities, Joel Mabus and the Native Sons of Lansing and Hastings’ own Tug River Valley Boys. “We always look forward to playing at Charlton Park”, comments Mark Sahlgren of Sweet Corn, a band that has performed every year at the festival. Sahlgren and other performers agree that the setting for the event makes it one of the most enjoyable in the area. The festival had a unique beginning. It was conceived as a fundraiser for furnishing Bristol Inn, a restored stagecoach inn located in the historical village and to create a new annual event for the Barry County Park. "The response has been tremendous”, remarks Frank Walsh, park director.

People attending often bring a blanket to spread on tne grass of the village green, pack a picnic lunch and relax in the summer sunshine while they listen to the music. Many also bring lawn chairs and others have their swimsuits handy to enjoy the beach. A recreation area, adjoining the historical village, includes a beach and picnic areas, a boat launch and a nature trail. The music is based on traditional songs and pure, simple harmonies. Part of the appeal of bluegrass is its Until mountain flavor. recent times, many of the songs were never written down. They were learned by ear and by heart. The unique combination of bluegrass instrumentsusually a banjo and bass, a mandolin, fiddle, guitar and dobre, which resembles the Hawaiian guitar-gives the music the ability to change from a lonesome ballad to a hard-driving fast-moving, song on the stomp of a foot. Tickets for the event are $3.00 for adults, 50 cents for children under 12 and free for preschoolers. Charlton Park is located five miles east of Hastings off M-70. Telephone: (616) 945-3775.

For most home gardeners the non-chemical approach is best. Non-chemical control eliminates the need for expensive spray equipment and the risk of chemical residues affecting the following year's crops. Also, many different types of weed killers would need to be used due to the different kinds of crops grown in the same small area. Cultural Control There are several types of cultural weed control available; most , are relatively inexpensive' and some require as little time as if chemical control were used. Hand pulling or cultivation - hand pulling and cultivation are the oldest weed control methods used by man, and are still very practical for small properties, requiring only a hoe or hand trowel and some energy on the part of the gardener. When using this method, dig the-weeds out when they are still small (about 3” or less) and remove them from the area so that they don’t take root again and continue growing.

Nashville, Wednesday. June 21, 1978 — Page 5 county funding for this purpose. The bill always incurred opposition from those who were concerned about weather modification from an en­ vironmental or religious viewpoint. Some such expressions have come up in the Mid-Michigan weather modification project area, including at one time a lawsuit by some claiming damage. Hence the second bill in the package implementing con­ trols in this previously unregulated area. No longer will any individual in Michigan be free to monkey with the weather at his own whim without control. Those wanting to implement a weather modification project will have to secure a permit. They will have to present evidence demonstrating the experience, com­ petence, and responsibility of those directing the project. A public hearing will be held to outline tjie extent of the proposed project and to hear objections. Modifications can then be made, and approval granted or withheld. Another provision of the bill is addressed to a lingering question-do such activities work? v / Records will have to be kept of all modification activities. These will be available to those wishing to study the longrange effects of the activity and, of course, to a court if damages are alleged. AH in all, I think it’s a balanced package, recognizing agricultural and environmental concers. And, a long last, I have convinced five legislative committees and a majority of both houses. A weekly Report from; Senator Richard Allen IMS 5SS Singing in the rain, just singing in the rain... After a very long and torturous process, my two bills having to do with weather modification are on the way to the governor for his signature. The legislative process can work rapidly when the issue is simple and public opinion one-sided-witness banning fireworks. But, if you combine fairly high controversy with a high level of confusion, getting a bill all the way through can be mighty tough! Farmers in my home area have been making rain, or attempting to make rain (depending on whose viewpoint you accept), for a number of years. Two or three problems have emerged, however. The first one brought to my attention had to do with financing. An extra inch of rainfall during a dry July and August can be calculated to return millions of dollars to this country’s farmers and its overall economy. The $25,000 or so the operation costs have been contributed voluntarily by far­ mers and agriculture-related business. However, the benefits fall equally on those who pay and on those who choose not to. Since the tax base of the county is heavily agricultural, farmers promoting the project con­ vinced the county board of commissioners that the county should fund the project. The county voted to do so, but was told by the Attorney General that the state law governing county expenditures did not specifically authorized weather modification activities. Hence a bill was introduced by myself as a House member years ago, then by Representative John Engler for a few years, and again last year by me in the Senate, to allow Continued from front­ librarian at Fuller St. and Kellogg, for the first semester of the 1978-79 school year.

June 21, 1978 — Page 7 Senator Allen discusses PBB and tax limitations at Nashville dinner A lively discussion on the controversial issues of PBB and the Tax Limitation proposal followed the address of State Senator Richard Allen (R-Alma) to the Nashville Chamber of Commerce, at their June dinner meeting, last Wednesday evening at the Steakhouse Restaurant. Allen, a Gratiot county farmer and veterinarian, told the Chamber group that PBB has “now become a political issue in the upcoming election”, five years after the 1973 spillage of the fire retardant chemical into Michigan livestock feed. The state will have invested 12 million dollars into the Mio burial project, currently Ijeing protested by Oscoda County residents, Allen said as he poihted out that only a total of 15 grams of PBB is involved. In the Kalkaska site, 400 lbs. of PBB were buried and 90 tons were disposed of in the Gratiot County landfill, he reported. Explaining that “PBB is not considered a highly toxic chemical” Allen believes it is “just not sensible” to spend that sum of money to dispose of 15 grams of PBB — an amount he called negligible to the estimated 200 lbs. con­ sumed by the public prior to discovery of the spillage. Michigan chemical workers have much higher levels in their bodies than do the cows, he said, adding that “very strong proof of health damage in humans cannot be found”. “The public seems tp be demanding more action of PBB” Allen continued “but there are not good reasons, only political reasons, for spending that kind of money”. Vigorous audience response met Senator Allen’s com­ ments on the Tax Limitation proposal. “It makes no sense to attack taxes and not attack spending” said Allen, noting that the last four times the public has had an opportunity to vote for spending issues on the state ballot, they had all been approved. “As long as people continue to demand special programs” he said, “tax limitations won’t stop taxes, but will only spread them in different directions”.. Allen said he was “amazed and chagrined” that we allow politicians to vote “yes” on spending issues, and “no” on taxes. This maneuver makes the politicians popular in their home districts and helps get them re-elected, he said, but “if we (vote to) spend money, we must also pay the bills”. People are demanding services more than they are demanding tax cuts, Allen concluded. During the ensuing question-and answer period the audience cited examples of governmental waste in social service programs, and in the hiring of excess government employees. Pointing out that “only 15 percent of the state budget goes to pay state employees”, Allen said concerned citizens could help cut waste by reporting known abuses of the system, such as welfare-cheats, to their legislators. Allen says he investigates all complaints that come to him. Claiming that he “and almost every other legislator could cut 40 percent of the state budget if asked to” Allen pointed out that each would have his own personal priorities on which programs should be chopped. In order to be effective, he said, tax limitation legislation should be specific about where the cuts should be made. “The people must tell us where to cut the fit”, Allen advised. In addition to his interest in farming and veterinary medicine, Allen also taught at Alma College and served in the State House prior to his election to the Senate in 1974. His major committee assignments have been in the fields of education and agriculture. jjy Susan Hinckley This Week’s Daily SPECIALS Tues. -Beans & Franks Wed. - Tacos and Spanish Rice Thurs. - Chop Suey Fri. - Macaroni & Cheese Sat. - Beef & Noodles Sun. - Fried Chicken ■ Dinner Mon. - Goulash New On Our Menu... • Fried Shrimp • Fried Clams Fried Mushrooms Sugar Hut Cafe 174 South Main, Vermontville 1977 milk production, dairy product Markjaryje consumption continue strong pace— . raduates from Western Michigan University- U.S. milk production 552 pounds, a slight increase milk; Whole Milk Powder reached 123 billion pounds in over 1976’s 548 pounds. requires 7.4 pounds whole 1977, up nearly 3 billion from Consumption of lowfat fluid milk; Powdered Cream 1976’s 120.4 billion pounds. milk andice milk showed per requires 13.5 pounds whole A total of 1,638 persons, The increase stemmed from capita increases in, 1977. milk; Ice Cream (one including Mark Jarvie, son Cheese consumption, which gallon) requires 12.0 pounds the combination of favorable of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer milk prices, resulting from was at 15.9 pounds per whole milk; Cottage Cheese Jarvie of Nashville, were the 1977 support price and person in 1976, rose almost requires 6.25 pounds skim awarded bachelor’s, one-half pound to 16.3. milk; Nonfat Dry Milk lower feed prices. master's or specialists According to a recent requires 11.0 pounds skim The favorable milk-feed degrees from Western price relationships Elrick & Lavidge market milk.

These people that won, came from 90 different towns in the State. They are from a wide spread area of Michigan. We hope the entire State will continue to support bur Fair in 1978. Steam Tractor Pull is one of our new additions - their power .created from their stokers, with fire and steam pouring out, will add to our already big Tractor Pull. The modified, super-stocks and farm tractors can be seen both nights also, June 30th and-July 1st. Harness Racing is held July 1, 2, 3, and 4 at 1:00 p.m., with a total purse of $47,600. The Lake Odessa Fair has built a new horse barn for the harness hor­ semen that participate in our fair. The State Championship for Lt. Horse Pulling is being held at our fair this year. The best teams in the State will vie for first place. We expect to have at least 35 teams here July 2nd at 7:30 p.m. Horse Pulling is a very exciting sport. Demolition Derby is always a hair-raising event. The Lake Odessa Fair sponsors their own derby, with a $1,000 purse and trophys.

Or the Arizona people who haven’t yet made a trip to their state’s Grand Canyon. It should be no surprise then that many Barry County people have yet to partake of the enjoyments, education, and leisure offered by their own Yankee Springs Recreation Area. The 16,000 acre former hunting ground of the Algonquin Indians from Ottawa, Chippewa, and Potawatami tribes has been known and populated by large numbers of tourists in recent years.It’s value and interest to area residents though, is still, largely, undiscovered. However, an ambitious program sponsored by the Recreation Area and under the direction of Park Naturalists George London and Cyd Delaney is out to change that trend. “We want to open up our programs to local people,” says Delaney, an assistant to London who was hired last October through a CETA grant just for that purpose. “Before I was hired,” continues Delaney, “George was A wood chipped lined Sassafras Nature Trail which begins and ends near the state park camping area is constantly kept wide to accommodate the handicapped. (Reminder Photo) the only Part Naturalist and was very limited with his time. Now we’re both more open to assist with family, school, and other groups so that they can have fun at the park. “A lot of local people think our programs are for tourists at the park. But we’d like local people to feel welcome here as well. We are not a babysitting service but are here to assist groups in educational programs, nature hikes, or other means of service concerning the Recreation Area.” London and Delaney’s most visible work comes with the programs offered daily to campers in the park-the activity which, they feel, has caused area residents to assume that, they work only with summer visitor’s to the area. Programs on Star Gazing, Crafts, Nature Foraging, etc. are presented at 10 a.m., 2 p.m., and during the evening at the campground’s public meeting area. Saturday and Sunday programs are also offered. All programs, London and Delaney stress, are open to area residents as well as summer tourists. Of even more interest is the fact that the same programs can be offered to local organizations, in­ terested groups, or families at any time of the year, and at most any place. “We’ll be glad to take nature hikes with groups or families,” explains Delaney, “though it is important to have a minimum number in the group. We have worked with special interest clubs in the past such as Flower Study groups or Science classes, and even Historical Societies interested in the area.” The two even go so far as to guide auto tours of the area along specially marked trails which pass such points of interest as 920 foot Graves Hill, formed by glacial debris that was left when glaciers receded from the area thousands of years ago. Devil’s Soupbowl-a depression of 105 feet and 900 feet across-was formed by an immense ice block which broke off the main glacier in that previous era and melted to leave another point of interest on the auto trail. Delaney stresses though that the auto trail is a specifically designated area and the fact that vehicles are allowed in the area does not suggest that the entire acreage is open to four wheel drive machines. “It’s not a riding range,” Delaney stresses. “The area is composed of fragile soil because when it was farmed out in the earlyl900’s treesAvere cut down and serious soil erosion resulted. When the farmers went out of business in the depression theydeft it a mess and trees were not replanted. “The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) came through and replanted many of the trees we now have in the area. In fact, many of the cabins we have at our two educational outdoor centers are remodelings of those farmers’ original buildings.” Delaney explains that the area is best used now for growing trees and supporting fishing and hunting. Nature has even repaid man for the kindness shown in recent years by supporting a growing but fragile population of rare native Michigan orchids. Lady’s Slipper, Yellow Orchid, and Showy Orchid are three species highly valued by hor­ ticulturists nationwide and can by observed in several areas by the educated eye. Our favorite trail on which to search for the rare flowers is Story and photos by Doug VanderLaan the Sassafras Nature Trail which begins and ends in the camping section of the Yankee Springs State Park. “Sassafras is a good trail for people who are on their first outing or who aren’t familiarwith the park,” says Delaney. “An added feature is that the trails have been lined with wood chips and have been kept wide enough to ac­ commodate handicapped people who don’t get the chance to enjoy nature.” Another favorite trail in the Recreation Area that has recently taken on especially avid interest of late is the Hall Lake Trail which begins and ends at the entrance to the Long Lake Outdoor Center directly off Gun Lake Road. The recent enthusiasm for the trail has been commensurate with the growing fervor for nature’s latest sport, orienteering. ““Orienteering is, for the hard core enthusiast, a form of cross country track," explains Delaney, whose zeal for a sport which combines athletics and nature so well can’t revaled. “I like it especially because it involves answering the three questions that are the basis of every problem solving situation; Where am I? Where do I want to be? How do I get there?” Would be problem solvers who take up the sport find themselves presented with a map of a given area on which several “checkpoints” or markers are pinpointed. With a compass, orienteers plot a course from marker to marker based on the information that they have been given from the map. At each checkpoint a code number must be copied before progressing to the next designated marker. A special orienteering compass can be purchased for $5.50 but is not absolutely necessary for participation in the sport if a regular compass is all that is available. What makes the growing interest in the Hall Lake Trail so closely tied with orienteering’s popularity is that Hall Lake Trail is the first area in Michigan to be equipped with an<orienteering course. Members of the Grandrapids-Kalamazoo Orienteering Club (GRAZOO) set the course up last summer and at the head of the trail placed a display board of information and maps of the area for groups or individuals who decide to give the new sport a try. Colored maps of the area are available from GRAZOO along with further up-to-date information on tthe sport. The group also placed the 20 marker-checkpoints in the area which hopefully will be the focal points for a new kind of visitor to nature’s home. “Some people run through the course for speed and times while others enjoy the activity just for exploring,” explains Delaney. “It’s a great sport because it teaches kids-or anybody for that matter-how to find themselves in the woods. Even if someone gets all turned around they can still find their way to a road.” Where London and Delaney fit in so nicely for groups in the Barry County area is that they will be happy to set up a first orienteering meet for a group. Orienteering is an ideal activity for scout groups and is the type of sport that can be a life time activity. London and Delaney would like to convince more people of the value nature holds as a life time activity and are anxious in their expanded educational program to pass that belief on to more area residents. The two can be reached for service to groups or individuals at the Yankee Springs Recreation Area Office at 795-9081. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, families, or churches are all welcome,” says an exuberant Delaney. “Day, half day, picnics or hikes we’d love to have everybody." This sign outside the Sassafras Nature Trail reminds visitors of the fragility with which nature lives in the area. Soil erosion from the early 1900's is only now gradually being corrected. (Reminder photo) To provide hikers along the Long Lake Trail a look at life in a bog -- complete with sightings of rare native l Michigan orchids -- Recreation Area employees have constructed a boardwalk along one section of the five mile trail.

The group’s work on the Hall Lake Trail is the first orienteering course in Michigan with another to follow this summer in the Detroit area.

But about two years ago, it was discovered that he suffered from a rapidlyprogressive case of keratoconus...he was going blind. But Aaron was one of the lucky ones. He was referred to an ophthalmologist who recommended corneal to transplant surgery replace the diseased and deformed cornea in the young athlete’s right eye. He was placed on a waiting list andsoon as the eye-tissue became available, the successful operation restored not only his sight, but his plans and hopes for the future. “I’m really grateful to whoever gave me the eye,” he said. “If it hadn’t been for the transplant, I probably wouldn't be able to see anything now.” He hopes to follow in his father’s footsteps and become a physician.

Traverse City’ dock is part of the Clinch Park, while a sulphurous spring is a focal point for Frankfort’s facility. Playgrounds and picnic areas also encircle docks at Sault Ste. Marie, Manistique, East Jordan, Boyne City and Harbor Beach. A picnic area ad-jacent to Detroit’s Memorial Park marina is perfect for viewing the mammoth July Fourth Detroit River fireworks display and boat watching. Three harbors have nearby tourist attractions of historic or religious im­ portance. The Quincy Mine Hoist is a half-mile from Houghton-Hancock’s marina on Lake Superior and is among Upper Michigan’s best-known tourist spots. It is the largest steam-powered hoist ever built and operated from 1920 to 1931. Leland’s harbor, with its weathered New Englandstyle shanties, is a local historic area north of Traverse City. Petoskey is the jumpingoff point for divers visiting the Scuba Divers’ Shrine at the bottom of Little Traverse Bay. That harbor and one to the north at Harbor Springs are part of Michigan’s Riviera, where the rich moor giant yachts up to 75 feet long.

In other cases, such as that of 17-year old David Kramer, the reason for undergoing corneal transplant is less dramatic, yet just as important, as those resulting in spectacular more restoration of sight. David had -been functioning fairly normally with the sight of one eye since the age of five, when he lost the sight of his left eye because of Herpes Simplex infection (the cold sore virus), which scarred the cornea. Recurring infection, pain and, finally, the concern of ophthalmologists that his good right eye might be endangered, led to the decision that he should have a corneal transplant to restore sight to the damaged left eye. In December, 1976, he went to Ann Arbor to receive his new cornea. Free at last of the pain and infection, and with the new perspectiove afforded by two good eyes, he delights in his 1976 a Action Ads George E.

The old dump area had first ignited the proceeding Saturday afternoon and the firefighters were summoned to the scene of a reported brush fire. When they arrived the dump was burning and two trucks were required to extinguish the blaze. A bulldozer then covered the property with a layer of dirt. However, on Tuesday the debris beneath the earth began smouldering and three tankers of water were needed by the firemen to put out the flames. Recording star Mickey Gilley, performing on the Sandyland stage June 11th, never missed a note on his piano when four men ran from the audience and raced from the park in autos with flashing lights.

A group of local women, who formed a birthday club when they all worked as cooks for the Maple Valley School system, met for a luncheon at the Steakhouse Restaurant last Tuesday. Birthday honorees were Gloria Johncock and Barbara Gagne. Also present were Margaret Swiger, Barbara Mix, Virginia Cox, and Lois Gardner. Lois baked the birthday cake for the occasion. Mrs. Myrna Wolfe reports that Mrs. Norma Sherman was honored with a “This is Your Life” presentation at a recent Mother-Daughter banquet at the Nashville Church of the Nazarene. There were 77 women present at the May event. Norma is the wife of Rev. James Sherman, pastor at the church. The Education Committee of the Nashville United Methodist Church, headed by Clara Marie Spoelstra as chairperson, met last Tuesday evening to finalize plans for the .annual Vacation Bible School to be held August 7th through Uth at the church. Classes will be available for all ages -- nursery school through senior high. The week will conclude with a picnic, followed by a special Friday evening program at the church for parents and the public. Village residents who have been bothered with the disturbance of fireworks recently will be pleased to learn that state lawmakers are expected to act quickly on new bills banning the sale, possession and use of fireworks. Special emergency measures, enacted by the Governor and state Attorney General last Wednesday, placed an im­ mediate though vague ban on explosives until the new law is scheduled to go intoeffect, July 1st. A federal court, earlier this year, overruled Michigan’s 45-year-old ban on fireworks when merchandisers found a loophole in the law. A reported grass fire at the old mill site on North Main Street called the Nashville Fire Department out Saturday afternoon, June 10th. The blaze, which burned a ten by thirty foot area on the island, was quickly extinguished. Sunday night, June Uth, the Nashville ambulance was called to the Joe Sprague residence on Price Road. Mrs. Sprague was transported to Pennock Hospital, suffering from a perforated ulcer. She is still hospitalized at this writing. The Department of Natural Resources advised Tim Smith, Director of Public Services and Safety, last week that Nashville’s application for the WORC grant had been denied for lack of funds. The DNR reported that they had received three times the expected number of applications for the grants, which were designated to hire x youths during the summer months for conservation and recreational related projects on publicly owned land. The village had hoped to employ nine youths and a supervisor through the program. Three young people will begin work for the village this week under the CETA Summer Youth Employment program. The students, all from Barry County, will be under the direction of the Department of Public Works with most labor being done in the parks. The DPW Crew kept busy with various routine tasks last week and, in addition, laid a lateral sewer line on North Main Street. Ronald Graham of Nashville was hospitalized last week at Lakeview General in Battle Creek, released over the weekend, and was to enter a Kalamazoo hospital this week for surgery to remove a tumor on his thyroid gland. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth (“Ted”) Mix of Nashville who celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary, June 10th. Ted and Vada have three sons: Richard, of Kayesville, Utah; Rodger, of Hastings; and Russell, of rural Nashville. The Nashville Site Senior Citizens met last Thursday evening for a potluck supper at the Masonic Temple. Gospel singers from the Hope United Methodist Church in Hastings entertained the group.

Vermontville girl scouts Girls, it’s just about deadline time to get your camp registrations in, lets make it 100 percent this year. Deadline date is July 1. Troop 133 went to the Detroit Zoo on Wednesday, June 14, they stopped at McDonalds on their way home. All had a good time. Sue Strong of Troop 108 is going on a Cold Canoe trip this week. On June 9,10, and 11 Troop 313 went to Wacousta. First, they had to pitch their tents, most of them weren’t sure how they went. It took about 33 minutes to get four tents up. Had to move one tent because it was too close to the fire pit. The girls'went hiking, wading, played kick ball and had a gong show Saturday night. Advise from Emma Trowbridge, “Never be a volunteer if there is a skit about an elephant named nuts, cause you will end up getting wet”. The girls earned the Troop Camping Badge. Tami Morton went home on Saturday morning when her poison ivy got worse, also Michelle Trowbridge went home with laryngitis from yelling too much. Emma’s voice wasn’t too good either, she had to bring her news over to me instead of giving it to me over the phone. I wonder if hers got that way from yelling too much. How about it Emma? Troop 313 had two girls who received their five year pins, Tammy Rugg and Michelle Trowbridge, these girls will be moving up to Cadettes. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Joyce Rathburn and the rest of the scouts for the baseball tickets on behalf of Walt and myself. Thank you all.

Nashville class of '53 reunion has 50 percent turnout By Sue Hinckley Nearly half of Nashville High School’s Class of ‘53 could have answered “roll call” at the 25th anniversary reunion held Saturday evening, June 24th, at the St. Cyril Community House in Nashville. Present were 17 of the 39 living members of the class, plus spouses and former teachers. A total of 35 were served at the dinner, catered by Mrs. William Hampton and Mrs. Harry Planck. Additional visitors representing various other NHS graduating classes, ranging from ‘46 to ‘56, joined the group later. Former faculty and ad­ ministration members present for the occasion were: Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Ten Elshof, now of Grand Rapids; Mr. and Mrs. Kenpeth Kistner of Southfield; and Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Bandfield of Ann Arbor. Class members traveling some distance to attend the event were: Irene (Wagner) Lawler of Virginia, Minn.; Frances (Dawson) Mead of Mich.; Atlanta, Lorin Noddins of Mason ; and Fred DeCamp of Eaton Rapids. Members present from the local area were: “Babe” Downing, Wayne Roush, Shirley (Fowler) Mater, Eugene ‘Buck” Fisher, James Erwin, Dorothy (Decker) Swift, Michael Appleman, Wayne Cogswell, Delores (Marshall) Knoll, Harry and Grace (Davis) Mead, and Charles and Elizabeth (Brodbeck) Bursley. Several interesting letters were received from class members unable to attend. Among them was a Continued on page 5 Cheryl Keech is just one of many Barry County 4-Hers getting ready for the fair which begins July 16 in Hastings.

(Photo Supplied) Down the stretch to the 1978 Barry County Fair July 16- 23 The Barry County Fair does not begin until July 16, but for county 4-H hopefuls the work is now in full swing. Since June 1 the youngsters have been busily gearing up for the final stretch drive. The 4-Hers entering hogs, beef, sheep and dairy cows in the fair spend close to one hour per day brushing and working each animal they have entered. Since June the animals are usually treated to grain diet to help produce thick, rich coats for that slight edge. The hooves are usually trimmed a month prior to the fair. All animals must also be bathed the week before the fair, with each type of animal getting its own special beauty treatment. “Cows should be bathed three times,” said Cheryl Keech of the Maple Grove Mavericks. “Sheep should only be bathed once because any more than that will make their wool too harsh, and pigs should be bathed every night for a week to remove the rough scales on their hide.” In actuality, preparing for the fair is nearly a yearround job. “Winter projects (sewing, crafts, woodworking) begin in October,” said Cheryl. “And the kids usually buy there beef or dairy cows in November, pigs in March, and sheep in May. During the winter months the kids must provide proper bedding for the animals and watch their feed rationing. “Steers should gain 2'z lbs. per day, but you have to be careful ’cause they tend to bloat. 1,000 lbs. is a good weight to aim for. Pigs should weigh 170 lbs. and a prime weight is 200 lbs. Sheep should weigh between 90-100 lbs. With dairy cows you don’t want them to get fat, but they should eat enough to grow and their coats should look good. “There are various things to consider when buying and animal,” said Cheryl. “You have to figure birthdate, where to buy the animal, what breed of animal to get, weight of the animal and feed rations. The work throughout the year all comes down to one Continued on page 8 Hastings Sanitary Service adds diesel to fleet The old business sure isn't what it used to be and, with the addition of this latest piece of ultra modern equipment, those "good ol' days” are gone forever for employees of Hastings Sanitary Service. A 25 yard long, 225 horsepower Caterpillar Diesel Engine garbage truck - complete with automatic transmission — became the sixth member of owner Ken Neil's fleet of sanitation vehicles last week. The "Cadillac of Garbage Trucks" is the first diesel powered vehicle the company has owned and is expected to be much more efficient in the business' operation. The Ford truck, which was equipped for sanitation work by Leach Co. of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, is licensed for a 44,000 pound load and is able to apply 1200 pounds of pressure per square inch of garbage — twice the compacting ability of other trucks in the fleet. Adding to its efficiency is a three yard wide hopper which can handle an entire load in one cycle. Older models must cycle two or three times to compact the same load. "She hits the road tomorrow," said Neil rather wistfully on Friday while admiring the bright paint and the sparkling chrome of the young machine. Though paint and chrome may wear in. coming months, Hastings Sanitary Service customerSi. will see their garbage go in style for years to come. (Reminder Photo) �The Maple Valley News. Nashville. Wednesday, June 28. 1978 - Page 2 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley Nashville was saddened by the sudden death of two well known residents on the same day last week. Early Wed­ nesday morning, Mrs. Dorothy Spidle died at her home on Bridge Street. Later in the forenoon, Samuel Hamilton passed away at his home on Casgrove Street. Mrs. Spidle, who was 59 years old, had been in ill health for several years. She had lived in Nashville the last six years and had cared for several foster children in the past. She is survived by a son Norman Spidle of Lansing, and a daughter, Edna Mae Spidle of Battle Creek. Samuel Hamilton, who was 71, had lived in Nashville a long time and was well known throughout the village. His wife, Olith, was a home economics teacher for many years at Nashville High School. Mr. Hamilton, who was retired from Eaton Corp, in Battle Creek, had served on several zoning board assignments for the village. In addition to his wife, he is survived by a son, Frederick Hamilton of California, and a daughter, Mrs. Sandra Hargrove of Washington, D.C. Condolences are extended to both families in the loss of their loved ones. Gerald and Gertrude Montgomery, who sustained serious injuries in an auto accident June 18th, have improved enough so that Mr. Montgomery was able to return home last week. He had suffered a broken sternum. Mrs. Mon­ tgomery was still hospitalized at Pennock, at this writing, with a broken leg, facial injuries and fractured ribs. The Montgomerys’ daughter, Mrs. Kay Collier of South Bend, Indiana, is here to care for her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery were enroute to Charlotte to attend a 50th wedding anniversary party when their auto, eastbound on M-79 in Eaton County, collided with a pickup truck which pulled into their path from Pease Road. The Montgomerys were pinned in their auto, which was totaled. Kay, who had been here visiting her parents at their Thornapple Lake home, was returning to South Bend at the time of the ac­ cident. She was summoned back to Michigan by a phone call she made to her parents’ home after her arrival in South Bend. A neighbor, who was at the Montgomery house at­ tempting to locate Kay’s phone number, answered the phone and advised her of the accident. Congratulations to Anne and Jerry Kent who were honored with a surprise 25th wedding anniversary celebration the evening of June 17th. Arranged by the Kent’s children and relatives, the buffet supper at the VFW Hall in Nashville was a year in the planning and came as a com­ plete surprise to the Kents. A ruse by friends-the George Friths, Wendell Smiths and Ed Backes-was responsible for getting Jerry and Anne to the VFW Hall. Mrs. Backe told the Kents she had to deliver food to the VFW Hall for a Penny Supper before the couples left for Grand Rapids, where they had dinner reservations at a restaurant.'Jerry and Anne assumed the trip to the VFW Hall was just a brief stop enroute, and suspected nothing unusual even when they spotted the many autos parked there, as they thought a The Stylecraft Athletic Shoe It combines an all suede upper (beige with brown stripes) and a popular flanged sole rounded at the heel to help prevent wear-down. Variety Store 115-117 N. MAIN m NASHVILLE Ph:852-9747 Penny Supper was in progress. Instead, 125 friends and relatives greeted the Kents on their arrival in the Hall. A polka band from Owosso provided music for the evening. At midnight a wheelbarrow was brought to the door of the hall and, with police escort, Jerry pushed Anne up Main Street to the Washington Street intersection and back again. A Nash­ ville Fire Department truck brought up the rear of the procession, with a siren alerting village residents to the festivities. Jerry had pushed Anne on the same route at a “belling” following their wedding, and Anne reports that several of the same people were present for both occasions. Jerry and the former Anne Smith were married in Charlotte on June 27, 1953. Their three children, responsible for the surprise reception are daughter, Kristine Hynes of Sunfield, with the help of her husband Jeff; and Teresa and John Kent, both at home. Anne says she and Jerry never had an inkling of what was being planned by the children. They were completely astonished and enjoyed a marvelous celebration of their anniversary with their many friends and relatives. A recent weekend guest of Mrs. Gale (Alice) Keihl of Nashville was her friend, Mrs. M.A. Nichols of Farmington Hills, Mich. Central Park in downtown Nashville once had a beautiful wading pool with an ornate statue in the center, cascading a fountain ofwater for the youngsters’ delight. An early scenic postcard of the pool and young maples surrounding the park is now on display at Putnam Library. The card, postmarked in 1922, was recently donated to the library by George B. Dean, a 94-year-old native ofNashville and regular patron of the library. The postcard, along with other early pictures and memorabilia of Nashville, is on display in the Michigan and Local History Room on the second floor of Putnam Library. Mrs. Leonard (Elizabeth) Lynch of Nashville attended the June 14th wedding of her son, William 0. Lynch of Grosse Pointe Farms, to Bonnie Wiens, also of Grosse Pointe Farms. The ceremony, performed at the Oakland County Courthouse by Probate Judge J.O’Brien, was followed by a reception at Meadowbrook Country Club. Bonnie, an English teacher at Roseville High School, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stuart Bennett of Miami, Florida. William, a graduate of NHS, Kalamazoo College and Wayne State Law School, is an attorney with the law firm of Buesser, Buesser, Snyder and Blank with offices in the Renaissance Center and Bloomfield Hills. Following the reception, Mrs. Leonard Lynch was entertained by Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Buesser, Jr. and family at the Huron River Valley Hunting and Fishing Club. The newlyweds are honeymooning at Ken­ nebunkport, Maine. Mrs. Paula (Sheldon) Murphy of Nashville recently at­ tended the West Virginia State Folk Festival held in Glen­ ville, West Virginia. Paula had been at Glenville State College last year, during the annual Folk Festival, for a special sociology class on Appalachian Folk Culture. She enjoyed it so much that she decided to return this year for the festival. Events featured were old time crafts-such as weaving, quilting, etc.-and folk-style square dancing. Each evening music was provided by “old-timers” coming down from the mountains to play such old favorites as “Wildwood Flower,” “Cripple Creek,” and “Ole Joe Clark.” In­ struments included the hammered dulcimer, banjo, jews harp, fiddle, mouth organ, guitar, washtub, and spoons. Several young musicians gathered around to watch and play along with the more practiced performers. Dorothy Edmonds and Alice Fisher recently returned to Nashville after wintering in Jacksonville, Florida, and since Dorothy had undergone eye surgery for cataracts while there, were driven home by daughter, Marcia and husband, Darrell Baker, of Washington D.C. The Bakers flew to Florida to drive the travel trailer back to Nashville, and Dorothy and Alice had the opportunity to stop in Washington, D.C. and visit the Baker’s six-month-old son. Marcia and Darrell are both MVHS graduates and Darrell is with the U.S. Department of Army in Washington. Dorothy is still having some difficulties with her sight, but has im­ proved. A large and very heavy metal sign, advertising Hinckley’s Garage and Firestone Tire Service, was found by Dave Ackett last week as he was cleaning the narrow strip of property adjacent to the north wall of his Main Street clothing store. Dave gave the sign to Ray Hinckley whose father, the late Merrill J. Hinckley, owned and operated the garage located near the old mill site on North Main. The sign was determined to be at least 50 years old as the garage was sold by MerrilLin 1928 when he opened the Dixie Gas Station on South Main, on the present site of Woodard’s Mobile Service. Merrill also owned and operated the Mobile Station there for many years. No one has yet determined how the old sign, found propped against the Ackett building, came to be in such an unusual location. Despite the fact that it had apparently endured several years of harsh weather, the sign was in surprisingly good condition.

June 28, 1978- Page 3 A weekly Report from; Senator Richard Allen Final legislative approval has been given to a pair of bills, sponsored by State Senator Dick Allen (R-30th District), which regulate rainmaking projects in Michigan and allow for county funding. Previous state law did not prohibit rainmaking, but counties desiring to utilize weather modification had been blocked by an attorney general opinion from allocating funds for this purpose. In addition, weather modification projects being conducted were completely without regulation. “This legislation is strictly permissive,” Senator Allen explained. “It grants counties the legal authority to fund rainmaking projects at their option, and provides a a framework of regulation for projects taking place.” Passage of the bills culminated several years of work by Senator Allen to convince the Legislature that weather modification should be controlled here in Michigan and that local governments should be allowed to participate. “Rainmaking is a relatively new concept here in Michigan,” he pointed out. “It has been used widely in the western part of the nation, however, and has assisted far­ mers whose crops were too dry for maximum production.” “I’m pleased that my colleagues in the Legislature finally agreed that counties should be allowed to give rainmaking a try,” he continued. “I am confident thatadequate safeguards have been established to prevent haphazard weather modification, and that the rainmaking to take place in Michigan will be of benefit to our state’s farmers.

Record tourism pace expected for the July 4 holiday throughout Michigan— Michigan should continue this year’s record tourism pace during the big Fourth of July Holiday as motorists are expected to drive 770 million miles over the fiveday period, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. ‘‘Major tourism barometers such as vacation spending, advance lodging reservations, travel inquiries and vehicle miles driven have increased significantly over last yearr and those factors indicate a banner July 4th holiday,” stated Auto Club Touring Manager Joseph Ratke. “Travelers already have spent nearly $1.8 billion in Michigan for the first five months of 1978-10 percent more than last year-and many tourism operators feel this record spending will carry through the upcoming holiday,” Ratke added. If good weather holds, Auto Club predicts holiday motorists will drive 69 million miles more than in 1974, the last time Michigan had a 102-hour July 4th weekend. The record for a summer holiday is the 870 million miles projected for the 1972 July 4th weekend by the Michigan Department of State Highways and Transportation. “Michiganians planning to vacation at popular holiday retreats, especially those along Lakes Michigan and Huron, make should reservations now because many lodges, motels and hotels expect to fill for the July 4th weekend,” Ratke said. “While advance reser­ vations already are being made at a record rate along Lake Michigan from Muskegon to Petoskey and also farther inland around Qadillac and East Jordan, space still is available,” he pointed out. “Such Upper Peninsula communities as St. Ignace, Ironwood and Escanaba also are ex­ periencing heavy demand for accommodations.” All Lower Peninsula and 13 of 19 U.P. state park campgronds checked by Auto Club expect capacity crowds this holiday, with many of the facilities filling by June 28 and remaining that way through July 4. “Those optimistic July 4th predictions are part of this year’s trend towards in­ creased tourism activity across the state,” Ratke pointed out. During the first five months of this year, the Michigan Travel Bureau received 6.3 percent more inquiries about Michigan vacations than in 1977 while Auto Club’s Touring Department had its busiest first five-month period ever and its busiest May in history. The West Michigan Tourist Association said the travel business in their area is up 15 percent over last year and indications are that 1978 should be the area’s finest season ever. Tourism in Southeast Michigan has increased 17 percent over the same period in 1977. Tourism also is up so far this year in East Michigan and in the U.P. This year’s July 4th holiday officialy begins at 6 p.m. Friday (June 30) and runs through midnight Tuesday (July4), and for the third straight summer holiday State Police will have “Operation CARE” (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) in full force to help reduce highway fatalities. Beefed-up patrols and strict speed limit enforcement on major tourist arteries each day last Memorial Day holiday helped account for a 23 percent drop in traffic deaths from the preceding year. A 42 percent decrease in hdigd h wahy “fCatAaRlss was recorded when “CARE” was initiated last Labor Day weekend. State Police will have an additional 200 troopers on roads each day of this holiday and will concentrate on motorcyclists. Thirteen of last July 4th’s 34 traffic deaths were motorcyclists or their passengers. Troopers will stress the 55 miles-perhour speed limit and proper signaling and turn movements by cyclists. Motorists also are being urged by Auto Club to be alert for motorcyclists and to avoid alcohol during the long holiday since 71 percent of the 31 at-fault drivers last July 4th were either known or suspected of drinking. To help travelers, Auto Club’s “Bring ‘Em Back Alive!” Holiday News Service will report developments on traffic and tourism from 3 to 11 p.m. Friday and from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday through Tuesday. A 25 member news operation will provide hourly reports to nearly 160 Michigan radio stations plus wire services, daily newspapers and T.V.

Storage containers for food useby Margaret Ann Ross, Extension Home Economist Be careful what you use for food storage! A rule of thumb that comes in handy is “if it’s not intended for food use, then don’t use it with food!” This rule will answer such questions as whether newspaper can be used for draining bacon, old chlorox bottles or garbage bags for storing food, or trash cans for cooking supper. All plastic containers which are obviously intended for food use - mixing bowls, plastic spoons, freezer containers, etc., are made from Food-and-DrugAdministration approved plastic materials. These are safe for ordinary food use. Beware of using other plastic containers for storing or processing food because toxic compounds could migrate from these plastics into the food.

Following are south-tonorth reports on angling success compiled today by the tourist association from charter boat captains, sport shops and chambers of commerce: SOUTH HAVEN - It was a windy weekend for fishing the “big” lake, but at start of the ufeek charter boats were taking Chinook salmon, an increasing number of Coho salmon and some Lake trout, reports the Chamber of Commerce and Capt. Lyle Cowles of the No Name Two. A variety of spoonsparticularly in chartreuse, green and gold, were taking fish at 20-40 ft. depts over an 80-120 ft. bottom. Action on Perch-some of them bighas just started onwigglers off the piers. MUSKEGON- Most of the 44 boats that entered the Steelheader tournament over the weekend came in with limit catches, according to Capt. Ben Cihak of the Seahawk. Chinook salmon and Lake trout-5 to 20 Ibs.make up the bulk of the catch with best action 20-50 ft. down over a 40-120 ft. bot­ tom. All colors seemed to work with Daredevils, Cop­ E-Cats, and Flutter Devies as best baits. GREENVILLE - Fishing is good in area lakes with a 15 year old boy landing the catch of the week-a 41^” long, 15 lb. Northern pike­ reports the chamber of commerce. Bass have been average; Specks are good; Pike are fair on live bait. Bluegills have been fair and are now moving to deeper water. CROTON - Walleye and Perch fishing is picking up on Croton and Hardy ponds, reports Jerry Smith of Fisherman’s Retrate. Walleyes are hitting crawlers and Rapalas. Bass fishing is steady and Pike fishing is good. PENTWATER - Fishing here has been very good until weekend storms put a temporary damper on Lake Michigan fishing, according to Tom Sturr of the Hunt & Hook and Bob Maynard of Bob’s Coho Shop. Anglers have had good luck with Kings and Lakers, especially south of the harbor off Juniper beach in 70-80 ft. of water 40 ft. down. Pentwater Long Johns, Kush spoons, Happy Hookers, Coho Chargers, Locos, Rattle spoons, and Sculpins are all reported as good baits. Dark green and chartreuse are still best bait colors along with black with pink spots. Fishing tip: faster trolling seems to bring good results. Smallmouth bass are just starting to spawn in Lake Pentwater and can be found scattered in the shallows. Night fishermen are landing Bullheads on nite-crawlers and archers are still boating Carp and Dogheads. BALDWIN - Fly fishing for trout on area streams should be very good later in the week as streams recede from weekend rains, reports Ed’s Sport Shop. The area is -still having good hatches of Brown Drakes, Olive Duns and some Beaver Kill and there are scattered reports of start of the Mayfly hatch. Brown trout are coming on crawlers and wet flies. Area lakes are good for bass and bluegills, both coming in shallow water on surface lures. LUDINGTON Trout, particularly Browns and Lakers, ,are dominating catches in this area, reports Ed Andersen of Pere Marquette Sport Center. The Browns, Steelhead and a few Rainbows are being taken off the breakwalls in the harbor basin. Lake trout are coming in the big lake at 20-35 ft. over a 40-60 ft. bottom south toward Pentwater and north of the harbor from the surface to 50 ft. over 80-135 ft. of waler. Smallmouth bass, Bluegill and spec fishing continues very good on inland lakes and anglers are having surprisingly good luck for Perch in the harbor and on Pere Marquette lake.

Fishing is good in Portage Lake with Black and White crappies hitting minnows in 10-15 ft. of water. Perch-up to 14” long-are biting along the south shore on wigglers and minnows. KALKASKA - A 54”, 39 lb. Muskie landed in Skegemog lake is reported as the catch of the week, according to the Chamber of Commerce. Nice Bass are also reported on Skegemog, and panfishing is good on all inland lakes with Walleyes especially good on Manistee lake. FRANKFORT - Fog has hampered fishing here yet boats are landing good catches of Lake trout and some Chinook, reports Capt. Mike Bradley of East Shore Charter Service. Best fishing has been in 65 ft. of water using Tadpollies and Clatter tads behind cowbells and Dodgers in greens and yellows.

HEALTH CODE Both houses are working toward final action on HB 4070, the 450-page revision of our Public Health laws which has been in ihe works for several years. Most recently* receny the House eliminated a Senate amendment liberalizing penalties, for the use of marijuana and added its own amendment allowing a local community to eliminate fluoridated water in its area. ENERGY AGENCY - Now in the Senate is HB 6311, which would create a state energy agency to set up energy use, conservation and development programs. However, this would not be a full fledged department and so would not eliminate existing duplications of energy programs.

MINIMUM WAGE - The Attorney General has ruled that employees who get tips are entitled to receive either the state or federal minimum wage, whichever is higher. Right now, both the state and federal levels are $2.65 an hour, although they have varied at times in the past. BAR BILL - The House has approved HB 4448, which would increase retail prices for liquor in Michigan by about 6 percent. This results from increased costs for package liquor dealers. Under present law, the state sets the market price and dealer profit for all liquor sold. William Penn (Pennsylvania) received his land charter from the King of England in 1681. Penn built no forts, -established no garrisons, and used no violence to maintain his claim. He treated the native Americans as the legal owners and purchased the land from them at a fair market value. Penn treated the Indian not as a heathen, but as a brother who wor­ shipped the same Great Spirit he did. This ‘holy experiment' still beckons as a model of peace and racial accord.

There is a possible 300 points on the test which includes precision manuevering, precision weaving, and evasive manuevering. There is a four minute time limit on the manuevering exercises and a one minute limit on the weaving. Students lose one point for every second over the time limit. The students also lose points for knocking over the cones used as obstacles.

By-TOM ISHAM Whether one wants to pet a llama or lamb, or just sit back and observe the graceful deer and bulky bison, the Binder Park Zoo is an ideal place to spend a summer day. The zoo, easily reached by taking Beadle Lake Rd., south from 1-94, opened May 6 for its second year of operations. Already this season, it has been visited by 10,000 persons, according to Gregory Geise, zoo director. “The crowds have been outstanding and we’re delighted with the response," Geise said. Binder Park, on which the zoo is located, covers 650 acres, with 83 leased each year for $1 from the City of Battle Creek. The zoo is operated by the Binder Park Zoological Society Inc., a private, non-profit corporation. It receives no tax support. The zoo operates with membership fees and admission charges (which are nominal), and makes most capital improvements with the help of grants and gifts. The zoo is being developed as a regional facility, with education, recreation and conservation as it major goals. It employs a dozen persons. The zoo recently received a $201,000 grant from the Kellogg Foundation for developing educational programs and exhibits. Eaton Corp, has granted a three-year 50,000 grant for development of the North American exhibit, which includes an already completed white tail deer area, a bison area now being established, and a prairie dog area to be readied for next year. Here's a park resident who's always welcomed by visi­ tors. It's “Petunia" the skunk, who's been made rather "socially acceptable" by the park vet. A big favorite with the children is the < animal contact area that opened last year. There the children can go in and pet calves, baby goats, pygmy goats, lambs, fallow deer, llamas, exotic pigeons and 10 breeds of exotic chickens and turkeys. Ferrets, rabbits and a large tortoise will be added later. Other animals in the zoo include white-tailed deer, geese and peacocks. Two boa constrictors, indigo snakes and large tortoises are included in a zoomobile program, now being developed, that will visit area classrooms in the fall. Among other projects under way this summer are an amphitheatre and a building to house restrooms and an animal food kitchen. In addition to visiting the animals, further enjoyment is provided by the ZO&O Railroad. This quaint little train follows a three-quarter mile route through park woods. Cost of the train ride is 40 cents for children three to 12 and 60 cents for adults. Rates for the animal contact area are the same, with no charge for children under three and Zoo Society members. Zoo hours through Sept. 4 will be 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. week­ days, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Friday through Sunday, and 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. holidays. From Sept. 5 to Oct. 15, hours will be 10 to 5. For special educational group rates, persons should contact the zoo office at 979-1351. The zoo is governed by a 21 member Board of Directors. four geese and a pair of recently arrived goslings. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday.

A few tips for your grape ivy . . . by John Baer, Extension Agricultural Agent A hanging basket near a sunny window is just what the doctor ordered for the grape ivy. This fast growing vine has brown, hairy stems with coiling tendrils and threepart, glossy green leaves with brown veins and hairy undersides. We suggest potting the grape ivy in a standard houseplant potting mix. Water when the soil surface dries to keep the soil around the roots moderately moist at all times. Be careful not to overwater this will cause the leaves to yellow. The grape ivy grows best in the light near a sunny window, but it will survive in the light needed to cast a faint shadow.

This native of the West Indies and North and South America is rarely bothered bby insects. Red spider mites may sometimes become a pest, however. Propagate the grape ivy by stem tip cuttings.

June 28, 1978 -- Page 8 Harold Willits, a man with lots of ‘horse sense’ Harold Willits, 74, of 126 Sherman Street, Nashville has loved and worked with horses since he was a young boy. Today he still hitches up horse teams to his buggy..a miniature version that is. For the last two years, Harold has been making, miniature models of horses and buggies, horses and covered wagons, and other horse teams. The teams include all moving parts featuring brakes, revolving wheels, and adjusting harnesses. “There are alot of kids today who will never seen any of these old means of transportation unless they see them in a museum,” says Haold. Harold was born in 1904 in Crawford County, Michigan. His family moved to the Nashville area in 1908 when his father became the preacher at the Barryville Methodist Church. Willits left home as a teenager and headed for Lapeer County where he farmed and broke horses for his uncle. “If someone had trouble with a horse they came to us,” says Harold. ‘‘We handled everything in the line of horseflesh. Some horses took over six months to break while others only took a couple days to tame. “I was just a kid then, but they never made a horse big enough to scare me or one ugly enough that I couldn’t get to stand beside me.” He also worked with many horse teams in his day. “I haven’t seen anything yet I couldn’t drive,” says Harold. “I used to talk to the Harold Willits has been making-miniature horse team rigs for two years. "I have to have something to entertain me," says Harold. In his.younger days, he broke horses and drove many teams himself. EXXON CHEMICAL BALER TWINES ADVANTAGES All synthetic fibre.

Some will holler their fool heads off, but the quieter the better. It got so we (the horse and I) were acquainted with one another. “I’ve always enjoyed Belgians and Clydesdales,” said Harold, when they latched on to something that something had to give. Ordinarily the Belgians were very quiet, but the Clydes could sometimes be terribly ornery.” Harold married the former Martha Wellington in 1933. The couple lived in Flint. Besides farming and working with horses, Harold also worked for the Lapeer County Road Commission from which he retired in 1968. In 1971 he returned to Nashville to be near his family. He has four brothers and sistehs; Clara Pufpaff of Hastings, Dr. Clayton Willits of Charlotte, Helen Kesler of Hastings and Wilson Willits of New Mexico.

Island touring throughout Michigan Stalking moose, eating fudge in a fort or strolling a town once ruled by a king are among the varied attractions luring visitors to Michigan islands, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. Michigan has hundreds of islands, and Auto Club selected several to show the variety offered. While some are remote, others are ideal for vacations and a few cater only to daytime visitors looking for a place to swim, fish, picnic or sunbathe in the shadow of giant buildings. Most remote and largest of these islands is Lake Superior’s Isle Royale. The 42-mile-long wilderness island is accessible by boat Wheat crop down or seaplane fromHoughton or Copper Harbor.

The year-end tally in­ cludes Christmas Seal contributions, special event dollars (walk-a-thons, bowling events, etc.), and monies from other sources, such as memorial gifts and bequests, which were raised prior to April 1. “We’re thankful to the citizens of Barry County for recognizing the scope of the lung disease problem today,” Ceasar said. “The total economic cost of respiratory disease is estimated at $16.5 billion •NATIONAL MAGAZINE PHOTOS each year.” Ceasar said that Christ­ mas Seal contributions from the public are still the major source of income for local lung association programs such as breathing clubs, smoking cessation groups, nonsmokers* rights programs, scientific seminars, medical fellowships, and air conservation programs. Jerry Ford learned it a couple of years ago and it still holds. There’s no glory and few votes in working against government spen­ ding. The people are supposedly on the muscle about ex­ cessive taxation. And, they are getting organized to do something about it. But, in my opinion, they will ac­ complish nothing until they recognize a basic truth-it’s the spending votes that cause the taxes, not vice versa. This has been appropriations bill week. All the usual groups are around and working-educators for education, farmers for agricultural experiment and extension, nursing home operators for that portion of the welfare budget, etc. If there’s a taxpayers* revolt growing, the troops must be elsewhere. They’re not in Lansing compaigning against the spending bills. And that’s understandable because stands against programs are generally unpopular, at least with some segments of the population. No responsible group of citizens wants to get labeled as unfriendly to education, seniors, better roads, or even to some ex­ tent, the kids who are the “C” of the generally lowlyregarded AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) program. It turns out that citizens, like legislators, find it more comfortable to be for programs and against taxes. I have pointed out this schizophrenia before-the public votes for spending programs placed on the ballot, sewage bonds, recreation bonds, Vietnam veterans bonuses, and against the tax on food and drugs. It’s easy to answer the question: Are taxes too high? You bet your bippy they are!! The tougher question is: What do you want cut? Education, law enforcement, nursing homes, roads, food stamps, etc.? When citizens groups become willing to take a strong stand on these issues, I’ll believe they’re serious about cutting taxes. Until then, however, they’re just like the legislator who votes more money for schools, and then, having supported the kids, feels obliged to help their parents by voting against taxes. It’s a national schizophrenia, shared by ^ou the public, and we the elected servants. to We’ll Cut It YOUR Style!

Saginaw’s 49Ojibway acre Island, reached by the Court Street bridge, contains a popular city recreation park. Sulphur Island, three miles east of Alpena in Lake Huron, is another day-use island near one of northern Michigan’s largest cities. It is a scenic and rustic picnic spot and offers swimming and fishing. The island, reached only by boat, is without modern conveniences. Detroit’s 1,000-acre Belle Isle has. a children’s zoo, beaches for swimming and sunbathing, Dossin’s Great Lakes Museum, a conservatory and an aquarium. It has deer, bridle paths, stables, tennis courts and a band shell where free summer concerts are held. It is a productive fishing sport and rental canoes are availabe. Another large island just above Detroit is in the St. Clair Flats at the head of Lake St. Clair. Harsens Island is reached by a short and scenic ferry ride from Algonac. Points of interest are Sans Souci, the island’s only town; the historic Old Club; the Idle Hour Hotel, and the Four Winds restaurant. Fishing along the island’s cuts and channels is rated very good. Among the state’s vacation islands are Mackinac, Bois Blanc, Beaver, Drummond and North and Soutli Maitou, plus the 35 islands in the Les Cheneaux chain. Beaver Island, 55 square miles of wilderness in nor­ thern Lake Michigan, is reached by plane or ferry from Charlevoix. A Mormon colony was established there in 1847 by James Jesse Strang, who proclaimed himself king. Hardwood and pine forests are broken by deserted farms, and sandy beaches rim the island’s edge. Visitors can find accommodations and shops in the town of St. James. The eastern Upper Peninsula’s Les Cheneaux Islands are off M-134, near Cedarville and Hessel. This chain stretches into Lake Huron as far as the eye can see. There are no ferries, but 10 percent of the islands are connected to the,mainland by bridge. Summer cottages and cabins are available. At the Upper Peninsula’s eastern tip, a short ferry ride takes travelers and their cars from Detour to Drummond Island. There’s a crumbling old British fort there, as well as cottages, cabins, motels, restaurants, a golf course and camping. Mackinac Island is a place of contrasts-old and new, lavish and simple, hills and plains. The island is reached by ferry from Mackinaw City or St. Ignace. Automobiles are banned, and travel is on foot, by bicycle or horse drawn vehicle. The island offers fine old hotels and shops that sell everything from fudge and souvenirs to clothing and jewelry. Historic sites in­ clude Old Ft. Mackinac and the original Astor Fur Trading Post. Bois Blanc Island is within sight of Mackinac Island and a six-mile ferry ride into Lake Huron from Chelboygan. The 14-byseven-mile island offers lodging with food, and boat, car and bicycle rentals at the 1874 Vintage Pines, the island’s only hostelry. Miles of trails and shoreline make Bois Blanc ideal for liking and backpacking. Lake Michigan’s North and South Manitou islands are accessible by ferry from Leland. Among North .Manitou’s attractions are deer and wild turkeys. Trails radiate from the island’s restored Coast Guard station, offering a central lodge with a dining room. Cottages are available. Most of South Manitou Island is owned by the National Park Service and operates as part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Camping is permitted there. 3rd IN A SERIES OF IS ISLAND TOURING offers glimpses of fields ond forests set amid sparkling waters.

Mrs. Olive (Walker) Bell passed away on May 13th, but Mrs. Betts had just recently been advised of her death. Mrs. Bell, the daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs Taylor Walker, graduated from NHS in 1911. Mr. Walker may be remembered by some readers as a custodian at the school. Olive became a teacher and later taught elementary school here. Mrs. Betts, Mrs. J. Robert (May) Smith, and Mrs. Clarence (Bernice) Shaw were all friends of Mrs. Bell and had kept in touch with her over the years. Mrs. Bell is survived by three daughters and one son. Mrs. Betts thought perhaps some readers might also remember Olive’s older sister, LaDore Walker, who married Rev. H.I. Voelker, a pastor at the former Evangelical Church here and very popular and esteemed member of the community. Both Rev. and Mrs. Voelker are now also deceased. Mrs. Vern (Feme) Staup has returned home from Leila Hospital in Battle Creek where she had recently undergone various tests on an ankle that has been troubling her for several weeks. No diagnosis has yet been made at this time.

Local residents attending were grandchildren, Mr. and Mrs. “Bud” Elliston and family of Nashville; Mr. and Mrs. Jim Elliston and family of Hastings; and Mr. and Mrs. Dave (Rosalie Elliston) Murphy and family of Nashville. The potluck dinner and family reunion were very much enjoyed. The Heber Fosters, who lived on Barryville Road for many years, now reside in Quincy during the summer months and spend winters in Texas.

On Monday the theft of tools from the garage at a State Street residence was reported. The culprits also took speakers from a truck at the same address. The same day, a purse was stolen from a house on Lentz Street. Tuesday night, a 1973 Yamaha motorcycle, valued at $200, was taken from a yard in the 500-block of Gregg Street. The owner discovered the theft Wednesday and notified police. Early Thursday morning, a large quantity of tools and equipment was stolen from a workshop on Sherman Street. Later Thursday morning, the Nashville police recovered a 1973 Mercury Montego which had been stolen from a factory parking lot in Charlotte the previous day. The auto, found abandonded in a marshy area along the Thornapple River in the 700-block of Kellogg Street, was spotted by a neigh­ borhood resident who summoned Officer Art Long to the scene. The driver had apparently attempted to conceal the vehicle and was probably picked up by an accomplice, according to the police, who said the auto and Sherman Street tool theft may be connected. Vandalism was also prevelant in Nashville last week, as a walk gate to the tennis courts at Putnam Park was destroyed last Tuesday night by being rammed with a railroad tie. The gate was not locked. In another incident of malicious destruction of property, two juveniles used a shovel to dig up the lawn along the riverbank at a Reed Street home, while fishing on the property Tuesday without permission. Officer Gene Koetje handled the complaint. The only auto accident reported by the Nashville Police Department last week involved property damage on private property, when one auto backed into another. Officer Koetje policed the incident. Utility lines at the corner of Sherman and Queen Street were knocked down last Tuesday when a limb from a large maple crashed to the ground for no apparent reason. Officer Long was called to the scene and he summoned Consumers Power and Michigan Bell to make repairs. The Nashville Fire Department responded to a tractor fire call at the Carl Bahs farm north of Nashville on Monday evening, June 19th, at about 10:00 p.m. The fire turned out to be minor and was quickly extinquished. Annoying and raucous disturbances in the wee hours Sunday morning, June 18th, kept Officer Long busy. In on instance a large limb was laid across Main Street to obstruct traffic at 3:00 a.m. Long removed the limb twice. The same night a family disturbance on State Street, involving four local persons and four from Lansing, required Officers Long’s attention. The Nashville Police also assisted the Barry County Sheriff’s Department with a “family trouble” call south of town last Thursday evening, about 7:30 p.m. Last Thursday’s village council meeting required less than two hours to cover several varied topics. Tim Smith reported on the WORC grant application which was turned down by the DNR due to lack of funds. The village had hoped to obtain nine youths and one supervisor for summer employment under the program, designated for work on conservation and recreational projects. The DPW has been refinishing picnic tables at Putnam Park, Smith reported, and recently laid two new lateral sewers lines and 300 feet of water lines. He also reported a rash of vandalism to village property. Stop and street signs have been removed and misplaced. Smith also cited cases of destruction by vandals in village parks. Councilman Purchis suggested the village request the State Highway Department paint a yellow “no passing” line on the North Main Street hill. He will contact a state high­ way engineer. Purchis also pointed out a danger in second story fire escape at the Masonic Temple on Main Street. Action on sale of a landlocked strip of village property behind the village garage on Cleveland Street was tabled, as; both adjoining property owners had not had an opportunity to submit a sealed bid.

The property under consideration lies to the rear of the Douse and neighboring properties, and is owned by Douse. President Christiansen reported that an interested area citizen had contacted him to locate two acres of property in the village, suitable for construction of an Arts and Crafts enterprise. Various sites were suggested but would have to be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Councilman Babcock said a Lansing developer was seeking 7 or 8 acres in a central location in the village for possible construction of an 125-unit apartment complex for senior citizens. Several sites were suggested by the coun­ cilmen, though some properties did not have the required sewer and water service. Babcock said Nashville was one of four towns being considered for the project. The developer wants the site to be within walking distance of the shopping area. The Planning and Zoning Commission would have to approve any necessary rezoning for the building. Mr. and Mrs. Max Kelley and daughter, Kathy, returned last Thursday from an 8-day trip to California. The Kelleys flew from Grand Rapids to Los Angeles and stayed three days at the Holiday Inn at Hollywood. While there they were fortunate to obtain tickets to see the Johnny Carson show, though they had to stand in line over two hours to buy them. Later, they waited in line an additional two hours to be seated for the 5:30 p.m. taping of the show which we.see here at 11:30 p.m. The Kelleys took an Amtrack trip from L.A. to San Francisco for three days of sightseeing there before returning home. Mrs. Lawrence (Louise) Annis of Nashville had surgery last Tuesday at Lakeview General Hospital in Battle Creek. She is doing very well and is expected home early this week. Mr. and Mrs. Richard (Sandy) Kohfeldt of Nashville recently spent two weeks as counselor and camp director for special education children from the Eaton Intermediate School District, which encompasses Maple Valley School system. As camp director, Sandy was in charge of 170 youngsters spending the first two weeks in June at the Battle Creek Outdoor Education Center located near Dowling. Dick was one of several camp counselors for the program which included fishing, swimming, hiking, boating and other outdoor activities for the students, providing them with a very memorable and enjoyable experience. The Nashville Fire Department responded to a call last Friday morning at 9:00 a.m. when the Barry County Sheriff’s Department requested a tanker to stand by until an overturned vehicle, whi^h was spilling gasoline, was uprighted. The mishap occured on Devine Road south of M­ 79. A group of 43 Nashville Lions Club members, wives and guests enjoyed a bus excursion to Tiger Stadium Friday night to watch Detroit play the New York Yankees, though they were disappointed to see the Tigers lose by a score of 12-3.

Howard Wolpe, Democratic candidate for the Third Congressional District, made an informal sweep through Nashville and Vermontville Thursday to meet with people of the area. “Meeting the people and talking to them about their problems and concerns is essential,” said Wolpe. "Without this type of contact a congressman cannot adequately represent the people of his district “There are 18 staff positions available to the congressman and they can’t do the job properly if they’re all in Washington. I’d like to put six to eight people in the field right here in the district to reach out to the people so they know that someone is Candidate Wolpe is concerned about property tax and the energy crisis, and has plans to alleviate those problems. there and to illicit ideas. “I’d like to demonstrate that there are resources right in the communities. The people can then feel good that they have control on decisions. The major job (of congressman) is to make the system work for con­ stituents. I want the people of the district to feel like they’re getting their money’s worth. People are feeling frustrated and powerless.” One major concern of Wolpe’s is property tax. “We need to move away from property tax, because it doesn’t effect earnings and people get penalized for improving their property. I feel the school tax load could be put on the State income tax which does effect ear­ nings. “I also feel the country has failed to deal effectively with the energy crisis. What’s good for the oil companies is not necessarily good for the country. The energy inz. dustry does not promote the possible use of solar energy.” “New rate structures should be made for utilities. There should be more reasonable rates. There could be higher rates for those who use more energy. Senior citizens should not have to close off most of the parts of their homes in the winter to survive, and that’s exactly what they’re doing. I want to build competition in the energy industry to help out the consumer.” Wolpe started the day in Nashville by pouring coffee and talking to customers at the Steakhouse and Village Inn Restaurants. He then walked the Nashville shopping area, meeting shopkeepers and customers. While doing this, he stopped by the pool hall and talked Howard Wolpe was met by a welcoming committee at the Village Square in Vermontville Thursday. The Democratic candidate is running for the Third Congressional District Representative seat. Wolpe is always one for a warm handshake and pleasant smile. The 4th of July... to enjoy our Independence As we all know the 4th of July originated for the celebration of our nation’s independence. It is now the holiday to enjoy the things our forefathers fought and died for. People everywhere invade our lakes, streams, and wood­ lands to remember that it is free for all of us. We should be thankful that we can. with the senior citizens and bagged groceries at Carl’s Market. Wolpe spoke at the senior citizens nutrition site at the Masonic Temple where he discussed the possibility of getting funding for a senior citizen’s housing project in Nashville. In the afternoon, he was met by a welcoming com­ mittee in Vermontville at the Village Square. He then traveled door to door on West and North Main Streets. In the early evening, Wolpe attended the Little League and Pony League Baseball games being played in the village. He then attended a township meeting at the Vermontville Library. He concluded the day with a coffee get-together at the Sugar Hut Cafe. Wolpe plans to make similar visits to towns throughout the Third Congressional District during the course of his campaign. “My campaign itself is going to be a statement about how I would serve as congressman for this district,” said Wolpe. Class of ‘48 to hold reunion Vermontville High School, Class of “48” will hold a 30th Class Reunion, July 8th, with a dinner at MidVilla in Middleville. 24 of the 28 class members are expected to attend.

Friends are welcome to drop in and visit during the afternoon. �Th# Maple Volley News, Nashville, Monday, July 3, 1978 -* Page 2 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley Three calico kittens could have lost more than their “mittens" when they hitched a ride last week under the rear of an auto, for a trip from their home northeast of Ver­ montville to a site on Barryville Road southwest of Nash­ ville. The journey of approximately 15 miles began when Mrs. Richard (Anne Skedgell) Ewing of Allegan Road decided to take lunch to her husband, owner of Ewing’s Well Drilling Service, who was working on Barryville Road. Accompanied by her three children, Anne began the trip about noon Monday in the pouring rain. Going via Three Bridges and Lawrence Road to the Barryville site, Mrs. Ewing was stopped on the south edge of Nashville by an auto which had been following her. The occupants asked if she was aware that kittens had been dropping out from under the rear of her auto as she was driving down the highway. They advised Anne that they had first seen one scamper away near Maple Valley High School and a second one had escaped in the village. Anne investigated, but found none still clinging to the auto. Continuing on, she delivered Dick’s lunch then retraced her route searching for the kittens, to no avail. Three crying children were delighted when Dad returned home in the evening with the third missing kitten, which he had found wandering near the Barryville site during the afternoon. Apparently it had clung to the un­ derside of the Ewing auto for the entire distance and had Flowers & Dry Cleaners will be CLOSED Saturday afternoon during July & August, 223 N. Main dismounted without being noticed when Anne stopped at the site. The other ten-week-old hitchhikers - one a grayish calico and the other bright calico - are still missing. The Ewing youngsters would love to hear from anyone with information regarding their missing kittens. Walt and Betty Blakley, who operate the camping facilities at Sandy land Park, are encouraging area residents to participate in a “community campout” to be held at the park this coming weekend, July 7th, 8th, and 9th. The Blakleys hope the event will provide an opportunity for local camping enthusiasts to become acquainted with one another and with the park. A social hour, Friday evening, will give folks a chance to visit and a 7:00 p.m. potluck supper at the pavillion, Saturday evening, will add to the festivities. Sunday show time at Sandyland will feature Grand Ole Opry entertainers, David Houston, Melba Montgomery and Lonzo & Oscar, in performances at 2:00 and 6:00 p.m. Additional information may be obtained by phoning the Blakleys. The Nashville Police Department was kept very busy last week with a wide variety of complaints, ranging from family fights to reckless driving. Chief Kendal Wilcox responded to a reported fight on South State Street on Saturday evening, June 24th, and the following night Officer Gene Koetje handled a family disturbance call on Sherman Street. Tuesday forenoon, Chief Wilcox answered a call from the Eaton County Sheriff’s Department for assistance with a family fight at a Kinsel Highway residence. Late Tuesday evening, Officer Art Long apprehended two subjects near the intersection of Casgrove and Durkee Streets — a male driver and female companion. Long radioed that he was having difficulty restraining the pair and requested assistance. Chief Wilcox, who was off-duty at the time, responded with the backup cruiser as did three Barry County Sheriff’s Department units, all dispatched to the scene when Long’s call for help was received. Two of the BCSD cars were used to transport the subjects separately to the county jail for booking. The man was charged with reckless driving and driving on a suspended license. Both were charged with resisting arrest, the vehicle was towed away for impoundment. Two rural Nashville men accused of the June 22nd theft of tools from Skedgells Well Drilling Service in Nashville demanded examination at their arraignments last Monday in 56th District Court. The examinations of David A. War­ ner, 20, and Dennis B. Wood, 19, have been scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on July 6th. Warner, who was arrested June 23rd by the Nashville Police Department, was released on $2,000 bond. Wood, arrested by NPD on June 25th, was released on $1,000 bond. Officer Art Long made both the arrests with Officer Gene Koetje assisting in the investigation. The stolen items have been recovered. Chief Wilcox of the Nashville Police Department obtained a felony warrant last week on a subject charged with issuing a non-sufficient funds check. Arraignment of the accused was set for last Thursday.

The weight machine on the high school stage is open every night, Monday thru Friday, from 7-8:30 p.m. The Maple Valley coaching staff has volunteered its time to supervise these nightly meetings. Anyone interested in developing his-her body, building stronger muscles; or just “toning up” is invited to attend these nightly weightlifting sessions. Many athletes are working and feel that their work is, in effect, replacing the weightlifting. Although lifting bales of hay or any other physical exercise is, of course, good for overall body developing and conditioning, it cannot replace a good weightlifting program. A weightlifting program is designed to develop muscle tissue while other physical exercise such as a job does so only as a sidelight, and to a lesser extent.

Rev. and Mrs. James Sherman and daughter, of Nashville, returned recently from a vacation trip' to various points in northern Michigan, including the Charlevoix and Alpena areas where they camped and visited relatives. The Shermans concluded their vacation with a restful stay at the Nazarene campground on Indian Lake near Vicksburg, and enjoyed a trip to Amish country while there. Several varied activities will be centered at the Church of the Nazarene Campgrounds at Indian Lake during the month of July. The “Caravan Roundup”, a scouting program for boys and girls in elementary grades, will take place on July 7th and 8th. Scheduled for July 10th and 11th at the campgrounds is the District Missionary Convention. On July 12th and 13th, Indian Lake will be the site of the District Assembly with Dr. V. H. Lewis as presiding officer. The purpose of the assembly is to elect district officers. A “camp meeting” will be hosted at the campgrounds July 14th through 23rd, with evangelistic services being conducted by Rev. Charles Millhuff and Rev. Fred Lester. Bill Gothard’s “Basic Youth Conflicts” seminar held last week at the Civic Center in Grand Rapids drew thousands of young people from various church denominations throughout Michigan. Nine members of the Nashville Church of the Nazarene attended the conference dealing with family and spiritual related problems. A slide into third base last Monday evening resulted in a broken and dislocated left shoulder for Tom (“Tad”) Davis of Nashville. Tad, who was playing summer league softball for the Eaton Federal Savings & Loan team, was treated at Community Hospital in Battle Creek and released. He must carry his arm in a special support harness for six weeks, but will not require a cast unless the shoulder fails to heal properly and requires a pin. Tad is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Timothy Boucher of S. Clark Road. Several area churches are participating in a summer softball league, and Assistant Pastor Don Roscoe of Nash­ ville Baptist Church reports two victories last week when the Baptist’s “Old-Timers” team defeated the Nashville Church of the Nazarene, 19 to 7, and the Baptist Youth team downed Middleville Baptist, 10 to 6. Returning last week from a family camping trip to’Lake Louise were 100 members of the local Baptist congregation. The theme of the week-long encampment, on church property near Boyne Mountain in the Petoskey area, was “Meeting on the Mountain”. August has been designated “miracle month” at the Nashville Baptist Church, with a giant attendance campaign to be launched August 6th with “Homecoming” Sunday featuring a church picnic at Putnam Park. August 13th has been appointed “Roundup” Sunday, and August 20th, .“Twin” Sunday. On “Harvest” Sunday, set for August 27th, the church will strive for a goal of 1500 attendance at Sunday School. The theme for the month will be “pack a pew”, seeking records in attendance at the regular Sunday evening worship services. Nashville residents were fortunate to escape the serious flooding that hit Battle Creek and surrounding areas during last Monday’s heavy rainfall. However, village residents living along the Thornapple River and Quaker Brook did notice some rise in the water level of the streams. Water was also left standing on nearby low-lying ground area. Don and Karen LeGrande are expected back in Nashville about mid-July, after being employed the past seven months in Houston, Texas. Karen is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William (Sonya) Kjergaard. The William Kjergaards had his niece, Mrs. Everett Rasmussen of Frankfort as their house guest for two days last week. Mrs. Rasmussen attended a certification seminar in Lansing pertaining to her work at the Benzie County Medical Facility in Frankfort. She will return again for two additional seminars during the summer months. Several Nashville residents are participating in the 120­ hour Emergency Medical Technician training program now being taught at Pennock Hospital under the auspices of Grand Valley State College. The weekly instructions will run for the next six months, with each session lasting from 7:00 p.m. until midnight. Individuals taking the training are not reimbursed for their time invested, so our community is most fortunate to have people willing to devote such an effort for the benefit of all area residents.

Dr. Benjamin, an ethics specialist, told participants at MSU’s annual College Week that Americans have actually surrendered some of their self-determination rights by not thinking through such oversimplified slogans as “Right to Die,” Death With Dignity” and “best health care for everybody.” “Father Knows Best” is the cornon attitude toward doctors, added East Lansing surgeon Dan English. “Only 10 to 20 percent of people seeking a doctor really need one,” he told the College Week group. “Self-determination is becoming increasingly important in an age where miracle drugs, machines and techniques have put medicine on a fine line between prolonging living and a more frightening area of prolonging dying,” Dr. Benjamin said. He explained that some medical decisions actually involve only a patient’s religious and personal values. “Whether a cancer patient wants treatment that will give him a longer, but more painful life or a shorter pain-free life depends on his own goals.” He said emotional association of “right to die” and similar phrases with mercy killing keeps some people from understanding the nature of the Medical Treatment Decision Act now in the Michigan Legislature. The proposed bill, similar to others currently under debate in 32 states, would provide that all competent adults have the right to accept or reject medical treatment and appoint an agent to act for them in case they become incapable of decision making. “Provisions of the bill are based on the right of privacy and merely extend the rights people already have in common law,” Dr. Benjamin explained. He pointed out that “living wills” have legal standing only in California and that hospital “no code” policies Vermontville Public Library: It is suggested that regular The story hour got off to a good start on June 27th with, patrons make note of these strangely enough, 27 dates, because it will be impossible to select books children in attendance.

Both Dr. Benjamin and Dr. English said that without standard guides it was difficult for a doctor to know a patient’s values today because mobility, specialization and decline of the extended family make personal contacts too rare. “Fewer than 25 percent of Americans have a family doctor they know well,” Dr. English said. The surgeon added that Americans also don’t take advantage of all the health information publicly available, seek out doctors then passively do everything they say. “Our culture is so technology-oriented that both patients and doctors depend on lab slips and Xray reports to get a sense of sureness - even though the error rate in good laboratories can run up to 10 percent on even the simplest tests.” Dr. English added that the American value system denies death, aging and infirmity and glorifies the romantic. “Kidney transplants and dialysis are more dramatic than the simple, boring preventive medicine procedures that could have prevented some kidney problems,” he illustrated. “Compared to glamorous specialists, our society looks at public health people as intellectual weaklings,” Dr. English said. “Doctors want to be loved. Often when they take the position ‘Leave the Dying to Us’ they’re just doing what the public ex­ pects.” College Week is sponsored by MSU’s Family Living Education Program, Cooperative Extension Service and College of Human Ecology.

'978 ■■ Pope 4 West Michigan Fishing Report: A weekly Report from; Senator Richard Allen Cows in Clinton, Ionia, and Lapeer Counties, from farms which have had more than 15 percent of their cattle tested and found free of PBB. will no longer be required to be tested for PBB before going to market The exemptions were granted through passage by the Legislature of three concurrent resolutions, sponsored by State Senator Dick Alien <R-3Oth District), and Represen­ tatives Quincy Hoffman fR Applegate; and Stanley Powell (R-lonia). The law which established the PBB testing program. Public Act 77 of 1977. called for exemptions of areas of the state as they were demonstrated to be free of PBB The three recently exempted Lower Peninsula counties join the Upper Peninsula, which had been exempted earlier this year when testing showed a lack of contamination north of the Mackinac Bridge Senator Allen, who authored the original language in the PBB law calling for the phase-out of testing, pointed out that the criteria set forth in the resolutions are even more strict than those in the law “We now have pretty well localized those few Michigan farms with low-level contamination," Senator Allen noted. "Based on science and economics, we really should be substantially phasing out the testing program. Based on public opinion and politics, however, it is taking a little longer.” Senator Allen is a veterinarian, as well as a farmer and legislator, and has been active in the PBB controversy since the accidental contamination of dairy feed was first discovered in 1974. One side benefit of the PBB situation, according to Allen, is that Michigan now likely has the safest meat supply in the country. “No other state measures up to our program,” he said. "Our increased sensitivity to contamination has caused us to intensity the search for, and identification of, food con­ taminants of all possible detriment to humans.” Short, Casual & easy-tocare-for styles from Irene's for those hot summer months.

Antique gas engine show planned at Charlton Park July 8 and 9 Hastings-Antique tractors will parade around the village green at Charlton Park’s reconstructed village as a highlight of the seventh annual Antique Gasoline Engine Show. Stationary engines will also be exhibited and operating equipment at the show, Saturday and Sunday, July 8-9,10:00 a.m5:00 p.m. The show illuminates the impact of the machanical revolution of the late 19th century on rural America. That’s when horsepower generated by steam and gasoline engines took over from the four-footed kind, and America became the wonder of the industrial and agricultural worlds. Antique engines will be operating equipment in­ cluding corn grinders and shelters, grist mills, buzz saws and drag saws. Wood shingles will be turned out with power provided by a 1925 Baker Threshing Steam Engine. Several unique engines will be included in the show.

Monday, July 3. 1978 - Page 6 Summer School 78 at Grand Ledge To The Residents of the Village of Vermontville Dear Residents, In all probability you have noticed that the Bars in Ver­ montville have been open, on Sundays, for the last two months. Many of you are, no doubt, wondering why. The answer to this is due to a peculiarity in the law that requires a vote on issues of this type to be taken at a regular State election, not a village election. The definition of a State election, given by the Attorney General, is an election when .a candidate(s) is elected to a State qffice. In accordance with elections held in March 1950 and March 1954, the sale of beer and wine on Sunday, within the village limits, was prohibited and has gone unchallenged until recently when our attention was invited to Par 372, Act 258, effective September 6,1945, as amended by Par 486, Actt 259, effective September 23, 1949 and MLCA No. 436.18A (MSA 18.989 (1) which state that the sale of beer and wine, between the hours of 2:00a.m. and 12:00 Midnight on Sunday shall be voted on at a regular State election, not oftener than every four years. In view of the above, the village attorney (David L. Smith), rendered the following opinion, dated April 26,1978: “Following rendition of my opinion of April 13,1978, it has been brought to my attention that the previous votes prohibiting Sunday sales may have been conducted at a) village election. The appropriate Statute (MLCA 436.18) calls for such elections to be held “at the next regular State election”. The Michigan Attorney General has ruled (No. 1184, P. 510-1949-50) that the “next regular State election” as used in MLCA 436.18A, means the next election at which candidates for State offices are voted for. In 1950 and 1954, there were spring elections for State offices under the Old Constitution of 1908, however, these elections were held in March and were, apparently, strictly village elections. Accordingly, as it was a village election, it did not comply with the Statute and the prohibition of Sunday sales is not enforceable”. Should the residents and-or registered voters of the Village of Vermontville desire to have the proposition (to prohibit the sale of beer and wine on Sunday) placed on the ballet, in the forthcoming regular State election in November, a petition containing the signatures of 35 per centum of the total number of votes cast for all candidates for the office of president of the village, at the last village election held for such purpose, must be filed with the village clerk sixty (60) days prior to said regular State election. Respectfully, Vernon C. Trowbridge President Village of Vermontville CLOSE OF REGISTRATION NOTICE FOR GENERAL PRIMARY ELECTION To Be Held on Tuesday, August 8,1978 Notice is hereby given that Audrey Gmmen, Deputy Clerk for Ver­ montville Township, will take last day registrations on July 10, 1978. 8 a.m. to 5 p.m...Michigan Magnetics Office 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. in her home.

The regular monthly blood pressure clinic will be omitted for July (Nashville only), since the regular scheduled day falls on a holiday. The staff who do the readings processed 51 at the June clinic. The July 3rd Birthday Party will honor the birthdays of Fred Ackett, Dick Green and Marcella Stewart. Our carry-in dinner on the evening of June 15th was attended by 40 people. A delightful program of singing with banjo, guitar and harmonica music was presented by Ron Hesterly, Bob Fuller and Don Reid, of Hastings, who are known as the “Hope Trio”. We enjoyed the evening so much that we have planned an outdoor picnic at Putnam Park, Nashville for the 20th of July, at 6:30 p.m. Several of our group at­ tended the Bassett-Hyatt June wedding and the site gave them a gift.

The system is called Identicar, and it is available at a happy life together and an enduring marriage. Arts and Crafts classes are scheduled to begin at the Nashville Site the latter part of June, and seven (7) have all ready enrolled. These classes are a splendid opportunity for one to develop latent talent that one may not even realize one possesses. There is a nominal charge for the materials used, but not for the instruction, as I understand from discussion I have heard. Come on and see what you can create!

FROSTING & HIGHLIGHTING number of auto glass companies across the state. Identicar provides for the permanent identification of any vehicle by the engraving of a computer-selected code into every piece of glass. Because of the physical properties of automotive glass, the code cannot be altered or removed without total glass replacement at an average cost of $700 to $1,000. Thus, because the thief knows he cannot resell the vehicle, he will look for another car to steal when he sees the Identicar decal and code. The Identicar code con­ sists of a series of small letters, and each vehicle is assigned its own unique mark. All codes, together with other pertinent in­ formation such as vehicle description, owner’s name and vehicle identification number, are maintained in a national registry. The in­ formation is available to law enforcement agencies via a nationwide toll-free telephone line on a 24-hour, seven-day-per-week basis. Thus, in addition to deterring theft, the code facilitates the recovery and identification process in the event the vehicle is stolen. Any Identicar-protected vehicle can be traced within minutes from anywhere in the United States. Unlike many other anti­ theft devices, Identicar is passive and cannot be by­ passed. The operator does not have to remember to activate an alarm, engage a lock, or throw a kill switch. The code can be engraved while the motorist waits, and the system is simple and inexpensive. "Identicar is like the vehicle’s fingerprints,” says John McCloskey, Managing Director of Identicar In­ ternational. “Every vehicle protected by the system has its own distinctive mark, and it cannot be altered or removed, even by the most clever thief. “Auto theft is a serious problem in this country, which costs consumers and the insurance industry nearly two billion dollars a year. We are convinced that Identicar will soon become a major weapon in the fight against auto theft, and we are pleased'to offer it as a public service to the motorists of Michigap.” Auto glass companies suffering . Identicar iin Michigan are located in: Ann Arbor, Autoglass & Trim; Detroit, Western Glass, Whittier Glass Co., and Gentile’s Service; Ferndale, Ferndale City Glass Co.; Gaylord, Auto Glass Specialists; Iron Mountain, Auto Glass Specialists; Livonia, Vista View Glass; Mt.

Several college-age campaign assistants accompanied Mr. Wolpe. Guidelines for the Harvest Festival Queen contest have been established by George Frith and Ray Hinckley, co­ chairmen of the Queen event for the RRDC, sponsors of the October 6th-7th and 8th festivities. Contestants must be at least 18 years old to enter the competition, and cannot be attending high school. This rule was made in order to avoid conflict with the Homecoming Queen contest which will be underway at MVHS at the same time. There is no upper age limit for the Harvest Festival Queen, but she must have a Nashville address. Each candidate must be sponsored either by an individual or an organization, that will pay the $5 entry fee and place canisters bearing the candidate’s picture in various stores. Penny votes will select the winner. Anyone wishing to sponsor a Harvest Festival Queen candidate should write a letter of application to Ray Hinckley or George Frith, prior to the August 1st deadline, briefly stating their reasons for support of their choice. The contest will end September 15th when the final votes in the canisters will be tallied. Announcement of the winner is expected to be made in the edition of the Maple Valley News published the last week in September. The Harvest Festival is a fund­ raising event for development .of community recreational facilities adjacent to the Thornapple River west of the Main Street Stores. Tennis courts, ball diamonds, a canoe launch and picnic ground are planned by the RRDC, a volunteer non-profit group dedicated to the project. The Nashville Fire Department was called out to a tractor fire about 3:00 p.m. last Thursday afternoon. Johnny Dull, owner of the tractor, had been raking a hayfield located behind the Max Eldred residence on Devine Road when the tractor ignited. Fortunately the direction of the wind kept the flames away from the gas tank. The tractor suffered substantial damage but was not considered totaled. Only one fire truck was needed to extinguish the blaze. Four Nashville firemen, accompanied by their wives, attended a three day Michigan State Firemen’s Association Convention in Port Huron, July 22-24.

But food safety is important when they do! A good rule is to “keep it hot, keep it cold, or don’t keep it!” Food spoilage bacteria multiply best at lukewarm tem­ perature. Use an ice chest to keep potato salad cold. Don’t let the salad stand at temperatures between 40 degrees F. and 140 degrees F. for more than two hours. This includes preparation and serving time. Similar precautions apply to other foods such as meat and milk products. When in doubt, throw it out, according to Eaton County Home Economist Ann Ross. About 35 people from Eaton County attended College Week at Michigan State University recently. They joined about 1700 others who came from all over Michigan to take a variety of classes, see exhibits and films, tour the campus, tour the state capitol and visit with legislators. Tuesday was “visitor’s day”, and many came just for the day. Tuesday was also Family and Government Day, ac­ cording to Eaton County Home Economist Ann Ross. Many special guests came to hear a panel of state legislators discuss current and pending legislation that affects families. Guests of Extension for Government Day were Kate Bosworth, Carol Ervasti, Helen Albin, Jane Goudreauldt, and Pat Murphy. College Week is planned by presidents of Michigan women’s organizations, and the Cooperative Extension Family Living program to meet the changing needs of Michigan families. LIFE variety show to be at Barry Fair The good LIFE is coming to the Barry County Fair, Wednesday, July 19, when the ten-piece musical group performs at the grandstand for two shows. Carefully selected by producer Gary Henley and musical arranger Stan Morse, LIFE'S talented musicians bring together a variety of backgrounds and styles. The country is well-represented from New York to California by the enthusiastic, professional, young artists. Enveloped by their own explosive musical accompaniment and superior sound system, the self­ contained group of three girls and seven guys, all accomplished musicians, combine vocal and instrumental talents to create a smooth, sophisticated, yet flexible sound. The multi-talented performers bring music, humor and a message with professional polish and warmth. From the big band era to early rock'n roll, from contemporary pop to country rock and back to Broadway, LIFE is spanning all the bridges, whether at state fairs, top resorts like the Greenbriar in White Suphur Springs or the National Shriners Convention.

Cut flowers live longer SHARLOTC. SOURS, Sec. Nashville Zoning Board of Appeals by Pat Randles, Agricultural Assistant What girl - big or small -- can resist the temptation of bringing in a summer bouquet? Flowers add a delicate touch of nature, and are sure to brighten any room. You can prolong the vase-life of cut flowers with proper care and handling. Here are some guidelines to follow. Cut your garden flowers in the morning or late evening. At this time they are crisp and turgid with water. Use a sharp knife or razor blade. Avoid using scissors because they squeeze the ends together and inhibit wateV uptake. Take a bucket of warm water (110 degrees F.) with you when cutting garden flowers. Place the flowers in the water immediately after cutting. Flowers should be kept in the water approximately two hours. Then go ahead and arrange them. Be sure to select a clean container for your arrangement. Bacterial growths which remain in uncleaned containers soon multiply and block water-conducting tubes of the flowers, causing them to wilt. Commercial flower preservatives do help and are especially good because they usually prevent bacterial growth and fungus. Avoid setting your arrangements near drafts, direct sun or electric lights. Under these conditions, the flowers will lose water faster than they can absorb it and may wilt. Arrangements will last.longer if placed in a cool spot at night, even the refrigerator is good. The cooler temperature keeps the flowers from aging as quickly — so they will last longer. Now, go ahead and put some smiling flowers on your table; then watch the smiles spread.

Nearly 3,000 spectators witnessed the occasion. The show illustrated the impact of the machine age of the late 1800's and the turn of the 20th century, with 200 participating. Some antique engines demonstrated were corn grinders and shellers, grist mills, buzz saws, and drag saws. Wood shingles were mass produced with power produced by a 1925 Baker Threshing Steam Engine. Some unique engines included in the show were an 1897 Olds Flame ignitor, a Rumely Oil-pull tractor, a fully restored 1935 D. John Deere Tractor, and a 1916 Avery Tractor.

Wednetdoy July 12. 1978 -- Poge 2 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley Whatever became of the Central Park cherub? An in­ teresting sequel to last week's report on the old Central Park fountain was provided by Mrs. Vern < Helen) Hecker of Nashville, who has many fascinating memories of the early years of our village passed down to her by her grandmother The fountain statue, a cherub holding a large fish cascading water from its' mouth, originally belonged to Michigan Central Railroad and was located in a small park on MCRR property northwest of the old depot < across the street from the present VFW Hall). The cherub later came into t possession of the village, probably as a gift from the railroad when they discontinued maintaining a park. Placed in the center of a circular wading pool in the heart of the village's downtown park, the cherub found a new home surrounded by young maples that had been transplanted in Central Park during a thinning-out program at Putnam Park. The old Union House Hotel, which previously occupied the Central Park site, had burned and the lot had fallen into hazardous disrepair before it was purchased by the .village in 1915 and converted into a park. In subsequent years, the cherub would mysteriously disappear from Central Park on an occasional Halloween night, but it was always returned until the final instance. That time it was not replaced and knowledge of the cherub's whereabouts was never learned. Rumor had it that “out-of-towners" were responsible for the cherub’s last departure from its’ Central Park home. The wading pool, without the guardian cherub, soon became neglected and was eventually filled with soil for a petunia­ planting project by a civic organization. Unfortunately, the shade of the maples hindered the growth of flowers and, Nashville Assembly of God Church 735 Reed Street Nashville, Michigan NEW EARLY WORSHIP SERVICE 8:30 A.M. 10:00 A.M. 11:00 A.M. 5:30 P.M. 7:00 P.M. 7:00 P.M.

Those who have followed my columns over the years remember I do this every summer during election years. I stand, practically alone in the Legislature as one who thinks this is not a full-time job and should not be, and who says, “Goodbye, I am going back to being a farmer and a veterinarian for a couple of months.” But this year is different-it is an election year. And in­ cumbents have enough of an advantage without trying to get their columns in the newspaper for a few more weeks. There have been half-hearted attempts to curtail some of the incumbent’s advantages, here in Lansing and also in Washington, over the last few years. Some have failed and others have actually backfired. II appears to me that limits on campaign spending and the disclosure of campaign contributions work to the advantage of incumbents. Since incumbents have the general ad­ vantage of name recognition, is it really equality to limit both to the same expenditures? Probably, the lower the limit, the less chance to knock off an incumbent. While having to report the names of contributors has some appeal-and I am willing to do it-it also has the effect of aiding incumbents. Businessmen and others who may be interested in legislation hate to risk having it known that they worked for the defeat of a legislator, particularly if he chairs a committee important to them. Even though he may have been hostile to their interests, they may view it as dangerous to raise the level of hostility! Party workers are also reluctant to have their State Senator notice they gave $50 to his primary opponent. Nothing’s wrong with it-everyone is free to express his opinion in a primary. But still, the county chairman has to work with the State Senator...etc. Mailings at public expense are a common abuse ad­ vantageous to the incumbent. While we have rules, they are not very strong. Incumbents don’t have to quit their jobs, or take a leave of absence, to run, while most other candidates do. In addition, we have ready access to bills, reports, and other materials for distribution. So you won’t see my column for the next couple of months. But, you may find me knocking on your door. News from the Republican Senate information office Senate Republican Leader Bob Davis has rated the Legislature’s recently completed 1978 Regular Session as “resonably responsive” to the concerns of Michigan citizens. “The fact that we have passed a balanced budget for the upcoming fiscal year is very encouraging,” Senator Davis Continued on page 8 jfcWitJHfW1 iaiefasaJ®21 l(pj||||jy|tltatW ^fstateK^1 ■jjgijf firt grtfM ,h You can spend years and small fortune searching antique shops and country auctions, or you can decorate with... S5 ss$ Williams announces candidacy for re-election to Michigan Supreme Court for second term Former six-term governor G. Mennen Williams an­ nounced today that he will seek re-election to a second term as Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court Justice Williams an­ nounced his decision Wed­ nesday morning at his office in Detroit and later in the day at Michigan Supreme Court offices in Lansing. As an incumbent Justice, Williams can file an affidavit of candidacy which places his name on the nonpartisan ballot in the November election. Parties also can nominate candidates at their state conventions in August. Justice Williams’ long record of public service includes two Michigan records as governor from 1949-1960 most times elected: six, and most years as governor, 12. Justice Williams’ distinguished career also includes service as United States Ambassador to the Philippines, 1968-69; ap­ pointed by President Lyndon B. Johnson, and as Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs, 1961-66, appointed by President John F. Kennedy. In 1970 Williams, a Democrat, was elected on the non-partisan ballot as Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court. His term expires at the end of this year. In announcing his decision today to seek re-election Justice Williams said: “I believe in public service. In fact, I love it. “These eight years on the Michgian Supreme Court have been among the most satisfying of my life because they have allowed me to serve in a new and meaningful way. “I feel that I can continue to make a meaningful contribution on the the court. “Therefore I have decided to become a candidate for re­ election as Justice of the Michigan Supreme Court.” In his years as a Supreme Court Justice Williams has written a number of the court’s key decisions. Most recently he authorized the decision in the no-fault auto, insurance case. Justice Williams was on the prevailing side which held that no-fault is constitutional only if sufficient insurance reform is legislated in the next 18 months to provide fairly-priced coverage for all Michigan motorists. Just last week Justice Williams joined a distinguished group of Canadians and Americans when he was selected as winner of the 1978 In­ ternational Freedom Festival Award. Justice Williams, 67, was born in Detroit. He and his wife, Nancy Quirk Williams, formerly of Ypsilanti, have three children and eight Vacation leaflets availableBy Margaret Aim Ross, Extension Home Economist Going on a family trip this year? Worried about those wiggly children traveling long hours in the car? Or about what to do in a campground? “There’s help for you at the Cooperative Extension of­ fice!” according to home economist Ann Ross. Ask first for the free flyers called “Family Games While Traveling” and “Crafty Capers for Camping Kids.” And There’s more, too. If you really are planning to camp, ask for “Camper’s Tips”. For outdoor cookery ideas, request “Cooking Capers”. And if you plan to pick wild berries ask for “Wild Capers”, a leaflet that details recipes for blueberries, thimble berries, etc. and also the Upper Peninsula Pastry. The leaflets are available without charge by writing or calling the Eaton Cooperative Extension Service office at 126 N. Bostwick in Charlotte. Vacation trips and summer fun can be “all the better” with advance planning and perhaps a few prevent-boredom measures, concludes Mrs. Ross. grandchildren. He is a graduate cum laude of both Princeton University and the University of Michigan Law School. He practiced law and was an assistant Michigan attorney general and an assistant United States attorney general. Williams was a member of the Michigan Liquor Control Commission when he won a surprise victory in 1948 over incumbent Republican Gov. Kim Sigler in 1948. He was re-elected in 1950,1952, 1954, 1956 and 1960. In 1966 he lost a bid for United States Senator. ★ NOTICE ★ PUBLIC HEARING July 20,1978.. at 7 p.m. VILLAGE HALL — NASHVILLE, MICH.

A massive thunderstorm system with heavy rains was beginning to move across the State late Saturday night CORN There was great variability in the corn fields as early planted corn looked good while late planted corn was spotty due to dry weather and poor ger mination Many fields up and down the State were recovering from last week's frost The average height of corn for the State was 14 inches, behind last year's 20 inches and on pace with the 13 inches normal A St. Joseph County farmer commented on his dry conditions by stating, “The corn is beginning to roil in the heat and wind.'* In counties with ram the corn was “getting ahold" of the fertiliser and turning dark green Some corn is 40 inches tall SMALL GRAINS: Both winter wheat and oats are late this year. Less than 5 percent of the wheat has turned yellow compared to SO percent last year and 25 percent normally. About 90 percent of the crop has headed. Only 20 percent of the oats have headed which Is way behind last year's 60 percent and behind the fiveyear average of 30 percent. DRY BEANS AND SOYBEANS: Rains hit the dry bean growing areas, helping beans to emerge, but flooding low lying fields. The planting of dry beans made good progress as 90 percent are in the ground, equal to last year’s 90 percent and well ahead of the 55 percent normal. Cool weather in the dry bean producing area is slowing crop development. Except for a few scattered fields, virtually all of the soybeans have been planted. Recent rains should give them a helpful boost.

Best action, on a variety of baits, was over 40-110 ft. bottoms, down 25-55 ft. The area’s Whitby party boat, a favorite with Perch fishermen, made its first trip today. GRAND HAVEN - Fish are somewhat scattered by weekend storms, but anglers are having fair to very good success for Lake trout, 7-12 lbs., and King salmon 12-22 lbs., reports the Chamber of Commerce. Best fishing is over 70­ 100 ft. depths. Perch are slow, but area bayous are producing good catches, in shallow water, of bass and bluegills. GREENVILLE - Very good fishing all around the area is reported by the Chamber of Commerce. Bluegills are still in shallow water, Pike are hitting on live bait, and Bass are going for both live and artificial bails. PENTWATER - Fishing continues good on the “big lake" with best action still south of the harbor off Juniper beach, it is reported by Bob Maynard of Bob’s Coho Shop. Boaters reporting catches of Lake trout and Chinook north of the harbor indicate that fish are slowly moving north as waters warm. German Brown trout are being caught in the shallow water, and many Chinook are being landed in the evening around the 50 ft. level. Chartreuse is still the hottest bait color. LUDINGTON - Fishing has improved along with the weather here as anglers are bringing in some limit catches of Lake trout and “beautiful” Chinook up to 24 lbs., ac­ cording to Tamarac Sport Fishing Dock. Best fishing is north between the bathhouse and Sable lighthouse-40 - 80 ft. down over a 60 - 50 ft. bottom. Lucky lures, Chargers and Locos have been doing well in green and silver and char­ treuse and silver. MANISTEE - Stormy weather kept many boats off Lake Michigan al start of the long holiday weekend, but when water settled boats were averaging 4-8 Lake trout, reports the Chamber of Commerce. The lakers were hitting best on green Fireplugs and Tadpollies along the bottom at 70-90 ft. Brown trout, up to 13 lbs. were coming in the basin along the piers at 20 ft. depths. TRAVERSE CITY ■ The Chamber of Commerce reports anglers are taking King salmon in West bay and off Frank­ fort and Lake trout, at 125 ft., off Frankfort and Leland. Lake trout are also coming, at 40-60 ft. depths, on the south bank of East bay and from Yuba to Elk Rapids, particularly on Johnson spoons and gold Flatfish.

Slotted Aluminum Charlie Andrus HAY & PASTURES: Haymaking activity varied across the State as scattered rains slowed some operations, but skipped over others. First cutting of hay is now 60 percent complete, compared to 80 percent last year and 50 percent nor­ mally. Farmers report large yields. As one farmer said, “Before we are done, it will be coming out of our ears.” Pastures are still adequate and are supporting average grazings. FRUITS AND VEGETABLES: Tart cherry production is forecast at 135 million pounds, down 23 percent from last year. Frost in late April and early May did some damage to the tart cherry crop, but spared the sweet cherries whose production is forecast at 70 million pounds, up 52 percent from a year ago. This would be a new record high production for sweet cherries. The asparagus harvest is over 95 percent complete. The picking of strawberries is nearly 40 percent complete with the Upper Peninsula expected to start liarvest around the last day of June. The development of carrots, celery, and onions is slightly below average as the cool spring has slowed their growth.

Michigan's religious heritage dates from early missionaries and extends through generations of settlers who built places of worship while establishing the state’s commerce and industry, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. That heritage is evidenced in some truly unique tourist attractions. Some are places of regularly-- scheduled worship, others are memorial shrines. St. Anne’s Church in Detroit is renowned for its religious relics as well as its beauty and place in the city’s history. St. Anne's, oldest parish in Michigan and second oldest in the United States, contains the tomb of missionary priest Gabriel Richard. Twin-spired St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Grand Rapids was the cathedral church of the Episcopal Diocese of Western Michigan until the diocesan center was moved to Kalamazoo in 1968. St. Mark’s was built in 1841 from stone taken from the bed of the Grand River. The church's stone structure was rediscovered recently when a stucco overlay deteriorated and was removed. Visitors to Frankenmuth can visit St. Lorenz Lutheran Church, whose original log structure, built in 1845, was the first building there. The city grew around the church. The present structure, built in 18880, is noted for its oldworld architecture and stained glass windows. Midland, often called “the city of churches,” offers tours of several of its 52 churches, many of which were designed by noted architect Alden Dow. They range in architectural style from Gothic to modern and include Protestant, Catholic, Jewish and nondenominational houses of worship. St. Gregory’s Abbey at Three Rivers is a community of priests and laymen of the Anglican Communion living under the Benedictine Rule. The abbey operates a large farm and has limited accommodations for guests. Services at the abbey are open to visitors. At nearby Benton Harbor is the House of David, established in 1903 as the home of a sect claiming descent from the 12 lost tribes of Israel. It is supported largely by the farms and industries it operates in the area area. Thousands of visitors each year are drawn are drawn to Michigan's shrines in cities,, along highways, on ski slopes and even under water. St. Joseph’s Shrine, on US12 near Onsted in the Irish Hills, is an enlargement of an original stone chapel built by Irish Catholic settlers in 1854. It is noted for its out out-­ door stations of the cross and life-size crucifixion tableau The Pere Marquette Shrine, dedicated to the state’s best-known missionary, is located just south of Ludington on Lake Shore Drive overlooking Pere Marquette Lake. The shrine marks the place where Pere Marquette died in 1675. The Chapel in the Pines, at Hartwick Pines State Park near Grayling, is asereneand impressive spot in the midst of one of Michigan’s last stands of virgin g white pine. The chapel, reached by a short walk,' is open for meditation amidst natural surroundings, far from the pressures of everyday living, but no worship services are held there. and Graham Chapel nearbyy Our Lady y of the Snows Shrine offer tranquil spots where skiers may rest or offer a prayer for safety on the slopes. The chapel is accessible by chair lift from Boy ne Highlands near Harbor Springs during the winter and by private road or hiking path the rest of the year. The world’s largest crucifix holds a massive bronze figure of Christ nailed to a 72-foot-tall redwood cross atop a hill at Indian River. This Catholic shrine dominates the landscape on M-68 just east of 1-75. Perhaps the most unusual of Michigan's shrines in the Scuba Divers’ Shrine under 66 feet of water at the bottom of Little Traverse Bay near Petoskey.. The life-size figure of Christ on the cross is nearly a ton of white Italian marble and black walnut. Our Lady of the Woods Shrine in downtown Mio is an open-air memorial. This Catholic shrine is a com- posite of the major Marian shrines of the world. Sundaymass is offered there during the summer An unusual floating religious attraction is the Vesper Cruise Ship at Mackinaw City-. The vessel sails out into the Straits of Mackinac at 8 p.m every Sunday unday during July and August with several hundred worshippers of all faiths aboard. Visitors can park their cars at the Tower Shrine of the Missionaries at Saul t Ste. Marie and travel by elevator to the top of the 210-foot tall memorial to Michigan's early missionary explorers. Historical displays and exhibits tell of the work of those pioneers and the development of the area. The shrine is open May through October.

By Margaret Ann Ross, Extension Home Economist There are “opportunities to grow” in Eaton County by joining an Extension Study group. These groups meet in homes--usually monthly--and discuss topics of interest to families. The Cooperative Extension Service Family living program serves as a resource to Extension Study Groups. Michigan State University specialists and Eaton County Home Economist Ann Ross cooperate to provide lesson materials, workshops, field trips, loan packets and newsletters to answer question about homemaking and public affairs. Anyone interested in joining a group may contact the Extension office in Charlotte (next to the downtown Cour­ thouse of 543-2310). Or, it only takes a few to get a group going in your own community. Lessons during the year give a focus on Health, Family and Government, Foods and Nutrition, Human Develop­ ment, Housing and Resource Management. Leadershop development is a fringe benefit from study group activities, too. Extension Homemakers have other projects that em­ phasize Cultural Arts, Safety, Citizenship and the like. There are 14,000 in Michigan that have found Extension Homemaker groups to be “growth producing.”If you’d like to know more, contact the Extension office for details. The groups are open to all interested persons. LIVING COLOR KG. ASSORTED As we move into the month of July, most of our row crops have grown past the need for cultivation and the wheat fields begin to turn from light green to amber. It’s time to think of wheat harvest. This years harvest will not be the bonanza experienced last year. Weather last fall, along with the price of this commoditiy, discouraged many farmers from planting any acreage at all. Those who did plant found -soggy soils interfering with a normal seedbed. And, as one old-timer quoted, “I never saw a bumper crop of wheat produced when you ’mud’ in your wheat.” The quote appears to be true in 1978. Indications are for at least a reduction of 15 bushels per acre average. And most of our wheat fields are extremely weedy which will make harvesting and drying the wheat a difficult chore. \ But we must harvest, and so get the combine ready. Be sure to thoroughly clean the combine before startint to harvest. It has not been used since last fall and so could be harboring weed seed, rodent droppings and other foul material that no one wants to be spread around the field. Both white and red soft winter wheats are in short supply this year. Word is out that the millers are in great need of these Michigan wheats, so lets not have any of our wheat rejected for containing rat or mouse or bird droppings.

Sky-high restaurants which revolve to give diners a well-rounded look at Metropolitan Detroit are the Summit on the 71st floor of the Renaissance Center’s Detroit Plaza Hotel and the Holiday Inn of Southfield’s Ronde-View and the Hyatt Regency of Dearborn’s Rotunda, both 16 floors up. It takes about one hour for the restaurants to make a circle. There are several sky-high eateries which have great views but don’t budge an inch. Detroit’s Top of the Pontch on the 25th floor of the Pontchartrain Hotel overlooks the Detroit River, while the Fogcutter in the People’s Bank Building in Port Huron is high above the St. Clair River. Both restaurants overlook Canada. Others great for ship­ watching are the Top of the Park at the Park Place Motor Inn overlooking Grand Traverse Bay and the Crow’s Nest in the Old Marquette Inn at Marquette, offering a bird’s-eye view of Lake Superior.

All friends and relatives are cordially in­ vited. continued from page 3said. “I am also particularly pleased that we were able to deposit an additional $30.6 million in the state’s Budget Stabilization Fund. “These actions are positive,” Davis asserted. “They in­ dicate that the Legislature is finally beginning to respond to our citizens’ demands for reasonable limits on state spen­ ding-limits that Republican legislators have been trying to convince the big spenders in the Legislature to establish for some time.” “From now on, and especially after the proposed tax limitation amendemnt is approved by the voters this November, the Legislature is simply going to have to learn to hold the line on spending, just like all our citizens must do in order to live within their means.” Davis noted that the Legislature also responded to the people’s will by raising the legal drinking age, prohibiting the dumping of nuclear waste in Michigan, and passing the new Public Health Code which assures basic health care services for all Michigan residents. In addition, he singled out passage of a bill increasing the payment-in-lieu-of-taxes on state tax-reverted lands as one of the most important actions taken by the Legislature this year. He commended the Senate for passing a strong lobbyist regulation bill, tough nursing home regulations, and in­ creased property tax relief for senior citizens. He said he hopes the House will act promptly on these measures during the fall session. Although he believes lawmakers made progress in these areas, Davis was highly critical of the Legislature’s failure to act on a number of Republican priorities. “I’m very disappointed that another six-months legislative session has been completed without passage of workers’ and unemployment compensation reform,” he said. “These are issues which must be addressed, along with further reforms of the Single Business Tax to aid small businessmen, if we are going to improve out state’s job climate. My Republican colleagues and I intend to continue to push for legislative action in these areas this fall.” Davis also urged the Legislature to tackle needed revisions of the no-fault automobile insurance law during the fall session, noting that the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on the constitutionality of no-fault has cleared the way for lawmakers to “take the faults out of no-fault.” In addition, he said the Legislature should act to provide property tax relief for all Michigan citizens; “The fall session is going to be very important one,” he predicted. “The Legislature must not allow this year to run out without acting on these important issues.” Auto Service CENTER QUALITY WORKMANSHIP by Trained Mechanics TRANSMISSION REPAIRS BODY & BUMP SERVICE BRAKES TUNE-UPS & MUFFLERS MAJOR OVERHAULS ELECTRICAL WORK usCe yodiut rC Modbil re ar n„„LAOr • .

Michigan hog inventory declines 6 percent to dateThe number of hogs and pigs on farms in the State declined 6 percent from last year to 630,000 head. The semi-annual hog and pig survey conducted on June 1 by the Michigan Crop Reporting Service shows breeding stock down only 1 percent from last June to 120,000 boars, sows and gilts. Market hogs, at 510,000 head, were 7 percent below a year ago. Pork producers in Michigan farrowed 78,000 sows and gilts during the winter and spring, almost 3 percent more than the same period last year. Litter size averaged 7.0 pigs each, down LaLeche league news If your family is awaiting the arrival of a new member, the Maple Valley La Leche “The League meeting: Family in Relation to the Breastfed Baby,” may interest you.

All women who are in­ terested in breastfeeding are invited to come. You need not be pregnant or even have Varieties of Yogurt help boost year’s salesYogurt sales have increased phenomenally during the last 10 years. A $27 million business in 1967, yogurt netted more than $400 million by 1977 when per capita consumption reached 2.5 pounds. Available in many varieties, sweeter yogurt, fruit-flavored, sundae-style and frozen yogurts have all contributed to the popularity of this age-old product. Because yogurt is more of a natural food than many others is probably another reason. The convenience offered by carrying and spooning yogurt out of a carton may also be responsible for.the current interest in this versatile dairy product. Who Eats Yogurt A spring 1977 survey of 4,000 consumers by the marketing arid economic research division of United Dairy Industry Association shows that, overall, more and more Americans are developing a taste for yogurt; consumption doubled between 1972 and 1977. Survey results indicate more women eat yogurt than men, with women ages 17 to 19 the most avid consumers; consumption is growing fastest among teenagers. Yogurt is most popular in the Pacific area of the U.S., followed closely by New England; the West Central area, where consumption is the lowest, is just starting to discover the tangy dairy food. Health watching, too, is considered a good reason for yogurt’s rise in consumption, with plain yogurt leading the way for many who are dieting. At nine calories a tablespoon for plain yogurt, one can eat a cupful without panic, or use one, two or three tablespoons on a salad with far less calories than a Continued on page 9 a family to attend.

Last springs average was 7.1 pigs per litter. There were 546,000 pigs saved this year, 1 percent above a year ago. This increase was primarily due to the larger number of farrowings. Farrowing intentions for the next 6 months are 8 percent higher this year at 78,000 sows and gilts. This is no surprise considering the current price levels. The extended winter slowed weight gains this year resulting in a greater carryover of fall pigs. There were 42 percent more market hogs in the 180 pounds and over category. After these are marketed, the sales of Michigan grown hogs will drop off. Hogs and pigs weighing less than 180 pounds are about 14 percent short of last year. Something New in Nashville...

Action Ads Barry County resources to be evaluatedSoil and water conservation programs in Barry County have a long and successful history of being locally initiated, planned and managed through the Barry Soil and Water Conservation District. Last fall Congress passed the Soil and Water Resources. Conservation Act now known as the Resources Conservation Act. The Resources Conservation Act calls for a com­ prehensive look at the nation’s basic natural resources and for better programs to protect and improve them. An im­ portant part of the law is its emphasis on citizen par­ ticipation in determining the future direction of con­ servation programs that affect local communities. Under the law, you can express your views and opinions on the nation’s natural resources. Using the views and opinions of all people the U.S.Department of Agriculture’s Soil Conservation Service will develop a program to guide conservation efforts and evaluate the program’s ef­ fectiveness each year. The Barry Soil and Water Conservation District has joined the Soil Conservation Service in its efforts to strengthen soil and water conservation programs and will conduct an open meeting about the Resources Conservation Act. The public meeting sponsored by the Barry Soil and Water Con­ servation District and the Soil Conservation Service to receive public response will be held Thursday, August 3 at 8 p.m. at the Community Building, Barry County Fairgrounds, Hastings. Your comments, opinions and suggestions will be welcomed. To develop a truly responsive conservation program, participation of'concerned individuals as well as local governments, farm, civic, and environmental organization and other interested groups is needed. Yogurt sales increasing continued from page 8 commercial dressing (65 per tablespoon) or mayonnaise (approximately 100 for a tablespoon). Yogurt matches milk closely in value for calcium, protein and riboflavin. Thus, it can be used to replace at leastoneof the milk servings daily. Discovered Centuries Ago Yogurt was the primitive man’s way of fermenting milk, originating in the Mid­ East during Biblical times. Abraham is said to have used goat’s milk while Genghis Khan used mare and yak’s milk. Today’s yogurt is made from cow’s milk udder rigid laboratory control. Yogurt has undergone several revivals since it was first discovered. During World War I it was made commercially in Spain. In 1929, a Spaniard opened a plant in Paris but it was not until 1950 that it surged to popularity in Europe. Although yogurt has been in the United States since the 1940*s among the ethnic population,, its current popularity started when fruit was added to yogurt and it next column BARN CATS TO GIVE AWAY: Would deliver.

Small shops, countrywide, dealing ex­ clusively in the frozen varieties have experienced immense success. Has Ingredient Use Although yogurt is often eaten as a snack and dessert, it also has extensive use as an ingredient. It is frequently used as a sub­ stitute for sour cream in Stroganoff, as a topper for baked potatoes or whipped in a blender with cottage cheese and seasonings for a dip. Yogurt contributes a tender crumb to such foods as pancakes, crepes or pound cake. Itcan be used as the liquid ingredient for a quiche, the sauce in a chicken casserole or chicken ala king or as an ingredient for a filling for a pie or torte. Frozen varieties have a great use in summer coolers. A 16-page booklet on yogurt's uses, as well as tips for making it or freezing it, is just 25 cents for handling and mailing.

Dairy products up 7 percent Manufactured dairy products gained 7 percent in 1977, according to tabulations made by the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. Milk plants processed the equivalent of 1.6 billion pounds of whole milk into a host of dairy products, ranging from butter to sherbet. Of the State’s total milk flow of 4.7 billion pounds, 34 percent was used for manufactured products, a gain of two points over last year. In spite of the increase in volume, Michigan lost 3 more milk plants leaving a total of 76 in business. More Butter, Less Cheese: Butter production jumped 24 percent to 34.8 million pounds in 1977, and ac­ counted for nearly half the whole milk equivalent diverted to manufactured use. Butter was churned in 12 Get big litters of husky pigs... Feed Purina Sow Chow A sow is a pig factory. She has the big job of producing and nursing two litters of pigs every year. Like any other factory, she has to have raw ingredients to produce the products (pigs) and maintain the factory (her own body). If she doesn't get proper nutrition, she may actually resorb some pigs into her system, causing ybu to lose pigs you will never even see; or she may farrow weak, unthrifty litters. Purina Sow Chow has what it takes to help the sow keep her own body, farrow big litters and have plenty of milk to start them right.

Dieting with a miracle diet? by Margaret Ann Ross, Extension Home Economist Been trying a new diet lately? Ever think to question how sound the diet might be?, asks Eaton County Home Economist Ann Ross. Dr. Dena Cedarquist, professor emeritus of Michigan State University says that anyone can call himself a nutritionist and go out and write a book on diets without fear of a lawsuit. There is presently no protection for the term ’nutritionist’ so some writers of fad diets have little nutritional background. The body stores extra calories as glyrogen in the liver and muscle. When that storage space is used up, the extra calories are converted to fat and “hang around” as fad (adipose) tissue. Every pound of body fat represents 3500 kilo calories. The only way to get rid of that pound of fat is to burn up 3500 calories by eating fewer calories than your body is burning. For example, if you neither gain nor lose weight when eating 1800 calories a day, cutting back to 1300 calories a day will mean 500 calories of fat must be burned. This will result in a weight loss in 7 days of one pound (3500 calories). “A dieter would have difficulty getting the nutrients for daily needs in a days food supply which totaled less than 1000 calories,” says Dr. Cedarquist. There’s not much magic in dieting. The best way to lose weight is with a basic and varied diet using the four food groups to provide nutrient needs. Strangely enough many people lose weight when they carefully follow the good old basic four food plan. For additional information, contact your Eaton County Extension office, 126 N. Bostwick, Charlotte.

Mr. and Mrs. Tim (Alice) Boucher of Nashville and daughter, Linda Boucher of Battle Creek, spent the holiday weekend in Petoskey. The Bouchers enjoyed lovely weather without the rain we received locally. In fact, the Petoskey area has been experiencing rather dry weather conditions. While in Petoskey, the Bouchers called on Dr. and Mrs. Jack (Esther) Walton of Hastings at their summer residence. A concrete bench in Central Park was recently destroyed by vandals who smashed it with a loose piece of cement. The incident, which occured in the late hours during a Sunday night, is under investigation by the Nashville Police Department. Officer Art Long of the Nashville Police Department pursued a van last Monday evening, July 3rd, which was reportedly being driven by a person under the influence of liquor. Two passing motorists had alerted Long to the erratic driver about 10:00 p. m. Long began searching for the vehicle, said to be westbound on Brumm Road, while a Barry County Sheriff’s Department unit approached from the opposite direction. The van was finally located, parked off Greggs Crossing Road. The driver, was reportedly a Kalamazoo probation violater, and the incident was handled by the Sheriff’s Department. A bomb threat reported at a village residence about 8:30 p.m. Sunday evening, July 2nd, drew two Barry County Sheriff’s Department cars to assist Officer Art Long with a search of the premises. Also summoned to the scene for investigation was Sheriff David 0. Wood. The Nashville Fire Department responded to a fire in a van at Mead-O-Acres Trailer Park on Sunday, July 2nd, about 10:00 a.m. Damage to the motor of the vehicle was reported as extensive. Congratulations to Lois Louise Pennock and John Lane who were married on Monday, July 3rd.

Wednesday, July 19, 1978-- Page 2 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley Several local folks enjoyed the recent Antique Gasoline Engine Show at Charlton Park. Nashville people had the opportunity to view a bit of their own village on display at the park, as the reconstructed print shop has been opened to the public. The shop houses the antique printing press from the old Nashville News Office which was donated to the park earlier this year by the John Boughtons of Nashville. Also newly opened to the public is the reconstructed hardware store, completely stocked with items which would have been sold in time period. All structures in the Charlton Park Village typify a Michigan agricultural community of the late 19th century. Opening on July 14th will be the bank and of­ fice building reconstructed in the brick Windstorm In­ surance Company originally located in downtown Hastings. The village church at Charlton Park, moved from Carlton Center in 1972, is nearing completion of interior restoration. The walls have been painted in the original color of off-white with a light blue ceiling. The pews have been stripped and refinished and the beautiful old oak woodwork gleams. Plans are now underway for installation of burgandy car­ peting down the aisles of the church and in the sanctuary area. Temporarily on display in the basement reception .room of the church is the beautiful marble-topped oak backbar from the Watrous Barber Shop in Nashville. The mirrored backbar and other shop furnishings wer donated to the park last month by Mrs. Noman E. (Nyla) Stanton and will eventually be placed in a reconstructed building.

Brad Scott, 21 year old son of the Phillip Scotts of rural Nashville and a part-time employee of Powers Shell, was injured Monday evening, July 10th, while working on a truck. Brad suffered a fractured jaw and broken teeth in the mishap and now has his mouth wired shut and is on a liquid diet. He also required nine stitches on his chin. Brad was transported to Pennock Hospital by the Nashville am­ bulance and was admitted overnight, then went to Grand Rapids for additional treatment by an oral surgeon. The Nashville ambulance responded to a call Sunday forenoon, July 9th, at Putnam Park when a young man from Morrice, Michigan who was in town to play in the softball tournaments, fell on the tobaggon slide while his team was picnicing in the park. Suffering a broken ankle and torn ligaments, Steve Johnston was hospitalized at Pennock from Sunday until Thursday when he was able to return to his home, 25 miles east of Lansing. Steven, who played for a Laingsburg team, was home on leave from the U.S. Army when the mishap occurred. He has been stationed in Ger­ many and the fracture delayed his scheduled return to duty. A second team member also sustained minor injuries on the slide but did not require hospitalization. Steve’ve stay at Pennock may have been slightly brightened by a softball trophy on his bedside table at the hospital. Later in the same day, the NashviUe ambulance was called to Camp Thornapple to transport a gentleman who was having stroke-like symptoms to Pennock Hospital for treatment. A resident of Florida who has been summering at Thornapple Lke, the man is a friend of the Harry Johnsons of Nashville, who live next door to him during the winter months in Florida.

He was charged with reckless driving, driving on a suspended license, and disorderly conduct. The female subject was fined $75 and placed on probation for six months. The disorderly conduct charges were 'reductions from the original charges lodged against the pair for resisting arrest. Personal disagreements among individuals required the attention of the local police recently.

At 4:00 a.m., July 14th, Chief Kendal Wilcox was called from his home while off-duty to settle a dispute bet­ ween two men at a Fuller Street residence. A variety of issues were discussed and acted upon by the village council at their regular meeting last Thursday evening. The council accepted with regrets the resignation of Will Suntken from the position as Secreta. ^-Treasurer of the Lakeview Cemetary Board. John Mason expressed the council’s appreciation on behalf of the village for Suntken’s ten years ofexcellent work on the board, and made a motion to accept the resignation as of August 1st. The council then decided, on a recommendation by Bill Hecker, that Village President Harold Christiansen would assume Suntken’s duties on a temporary basis until a replacement can be found. Also approved by the council on Heckers’s recom­ mendation was overtime pay, at normal hourly rate, for 14 hours worked by Officer Long, on his own time, to in­ vestigate a recent breaking and entering in the village. The case has been finalized and the stolen goods were all recovered. Forrest Babcock reported that a Lansing developer in­ terested in constructing a senior citizens- apartment complex in Nashville will be in town this week to check on available sites. However, Babcock said the HUD funding for the project had been temporarily cut but may be restored, and Nashville is still under consideration as a location. Morris Purchis gave a detailed report of a DPW com­ mittee meeting on paving projects being considered for various village streets. There was some disagreement among council members on which projects should receive priority. One of the committee’s recommendations was to spend $14,000 on paving the north end of the behind-stores parking area. Some of the paving of the lot will be covered by grant funds but the village must provide a matching amount to receive the funding. Several village streets which presently need repaving are scheduled to be torn up next year for the sewer extensions and John Mason explained the committee’s position that it would be a waste of money to redo those particular streets at this time. No final decisions have yet been made by the council on which paving projects will be undertaken. In addition to paving and capping streets, the project also encompasses work on curbs, gutter, drains, and bridges. A lively discussion ensued when some members of the audience questioned the proposed guidelines for aban­ donment of alleys in the village. One property owner suggested blocking all alleys to through traffic by installing a large circular cement post at the alley’s cross intersection, then formally requested the council to post all alleys against trafficking. Another owner desired control of the entire To the editor; Maple Valley Board of Education approves regular meeting dates At the organizational meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education held Monday, July 10, the board members approved the following resolution regarding regular board meeting dates for the 1978-79 school year: Regular meetings of the board of education will be held in the school administration building located near the Jr-Sr. High School starting at 7:00 p.m. on the second Monday of each month.

The seminar’s purpose was to show all the respon­ sibilities we have as young American citizens, and to prepare us for the respon­ sibilities we’ll have as adult citizens. As a group, we par­ ticipated in our own state election. We had to register, participate in primaries, conventions, political rallies, and the election. All of this prepared us for voting when we are 18. We even got to use voting machines in our election. Not only did we have the election, but we had many interesting speakers. In the middle of the week we had the the honor of attending a very formal banquet with State Representative Dennis O. Cawthorne as the speaker. We also had such speakers as Dr. Clifton Ganus, Jr., Dr. Paul E. Hindinger, Dr. John Furbay, and Maria Schultz. They were all very in­ teresting speakers. Some of the main topics they discussed were the dif­ ferences between Russia and America, America’s economic system, and the many problems of today’s American farmers. Ilearned how lucky I am to live in America. And I learned so much about America I never knew. But, the most important part of the seminar to me, was getting to meet so many new and wonderful people. And although I may never see some of my new friends again, I’m glad I had the chance to meet them, learn with them, and have fun with them.

Maple Valley News Phone 945-9554 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, July 19, 1978- Page 5 A weekly Report from; Senator Richard Allen <h®. :s :&4s p‘S S p , • ®s tWauji? *7' Mafe vaaJjJ1*' Mafe vaJJ1 W $f. Mwi -«.;Jt£i State Senator Dick Allen (R-30th District) today urged Mid-Michigan farmers to inspect their farms and surrounding acres for red-legged grasshoppers and to contact their county extension agents immediately if the insects are found on their properties. “Time is of the essence,’’ Senator Allen pointed out. “if we don’t get rid of those pest quickly, we’re going to lose some precious crops this year.” “Farmers should be out now looking over their pasture areas, fence rows, ditches, and weeds in search of these grasshoppers where they hatch,” he emphasized. The grasshoppers are small (barely larger than a penciltip eraser), and have red legs. They lay their eggs in late summer, which then, hatch in spring and early summer. They generally stay fairly localized, moving very slowly toward broad leaf areas, such as alfalfa, soy beans, dry beans and home gardens. When they move, they can also damage corn and small grains, such as wheat and oats, in the process. Following reports of extensive damage caused by the grasshoppers in Shiawassee County, Senator Allen con­ tacted Dr. Robert F. Ruppel, a professor of entomology at Michigan State University and extension specialist, to find out what can be done to alleviate this problem. “Dr. Ruppel informed me that the grasshoppers can be controlled with pesticides,” Senator Allen explained. “But, the only way to know where we should spray is for the far­ mers to comb their fields in search of their hatching areas.” “I urge all Mid-Michigan farmers to help in our efforts to find and destroy these insects. If you find these grasshop­ pers, contact your county extension agent as soon as possible,” he stressed. Senator Allen has also alerted the Michigan Department of Agriculture to this problem, urging the Department to examine the Mid-Michigan area for grasshopper infestation, to implement procedures which will extinguish the pests and to advise farmers on what they should do to get rid of these insects.

I • Tomatoes are better red — by Pat Randles, Agricultural Assistant Picture a plump, juicy, red tomato -- it's a luscious symbol of summer for many folks. Tomatoes are the most popular vegetable grown, and nearly everyone has a "patch", even if it's only two or three plants. The No. 1 problem that most gardeners have with tomatoes is blossom-end rot, which is a physiological disease caused mainly by moisture fluctuations. The telltale sign of the problem is a flaky, black, leathery looking area on the bottom half of the fruit, often with a mold that causes further rotting. Even with the best of care, the disease may hit a few of your tomatoes during very hot, dry weather. But by following a few tips you can keep it to a minimum: 1) Have your soil tested. Then add enough lime to bring the pH to 6 to 6.5 which will ensure proper nutrition for the plants. 2) Water tomatoes during dry spells. Water stress, either too much or too little, can cause blossom-end rot. 3) Put a good, heavy mulch around the plants to conserve moisture, keep down weeds and keep soil cool. Mulching should be done after the first fruits are the size of a half-dollar. 4) As an extra precaution, you can spray your vines with calcium chloride on a 7-to 10-day schedule after the first cluster of fruit is set. 5) If the above steps fail (which isn't likely), pick off any fruit with blossom-end rot as soon as you notice them, because they will not develop into usuable fruit.

LANSING, MICH. — The Michigan Savings & Loan League is supporting passage of an amendment on the November 7 ballot which will change the State Con­ stitution to permit state money to be deposited in Savings and Loan Associations and Credit Unions as well as in banks. Current law designates state or federally chartered banks as the primary depository for state funds. A resolution (House Joint Resolution G.G.) enabling S&Ls and Credit Unions to be included with banks passed both the Michigan House and Senate last spring by letter than a two-thirds favorable vote. The resolution was then sent to the Secretary of State via the “legislative route” and will be on the November 7 ballot. Donald F. Wall of the Michigan Savings & Loan League in Lansing reports the amendment would benefit the people of Michigan because “savings and loan institutions pay higher rate of interest on deposits than banks and any new deposits of state funds in savings and loan associations would increase the supply of mortgage funds available for home loans in Michigan.” New 11O-hp 4240 Smooth, dynamic power and plenty of it A brand-new John Deere 6-cylinder diesel engine powers the new 4240.

Duane Acker, Kansas Mid-Summer nightmare — Bugs — by Warren J. Cook, County Extension Director After a cool, rather dry spring, the last three weeks have been great for our growing crops. And, as we might expect, when weather is favorable for most summer crops, it is also favorable for a population explosion of the many kinds of insect life. To date we have seen large numbers of Eastern Tent Caterpillars, saw-fly larvae eating on our pine trees, alfalfa weevil chewing the hay crop and western corn root.worm larvae eating off the root system of several unprotected corn fields. Now, we are faced with possibly more insect destruction. Farmers should be extra alert for invasions of Army worm. These worms with probably the most voracious appetite of any insect will be found starting in grassy edges of fields and will eat up any crop growing nearby. Army worms have been known to defoliate a corn field in a matter of few days. A second possible invasion is from grasshoppers. Already we have observed several areas where numbers of small grasshoppers are large enough to cause severe damage if we should experience a hot dry period. A third species to be alert for is excessive population of European Corn borer. The first brood is already working in our corn fields and the second brood could possibly be active in time to create havoc with the tasseling of the corn. We have been luckier than most areas of the state in that we have not had the severe damage from cutworms. For that we are thankful. But be alert, check your fields often, and if you see insect damage, let us in Extension know if you have problems. For all your Insurance Needs see the...

Acker made his remarks before the joint conference of the Society of Animal Science and American Dairy Science Association, which met at Michigan State University July 9-13. “Changes in national nutritional status have always been evolutionary, and agriculture, related industries and the free market have always been able to adjust. I don’t foresee a change in this pattern,” he said. “People choose food for many reasons, and nutrition and health are often not the most important factors,” he added. Other factors in­ fluencing food choices in­ clude cost, convenience, family preferences and the social pleasure associated with what one eats. “Beyond this, we are a nation of free choice when it comes to food, good or bad. For this reason, a national diet cannot be successfully legislated,” Acker said. He believes that changes in the national nutritional status are inevitable, but these changes will come slowly, allowing time for necessary adjustments in the food industry and market.

Bill Hecker explained that village attorney Richard Shaw’s preliminary recommendations called for each adjoining property owner to assume only half of an abondoned alley. In May, Shaw verbally advised a council committee on proper procedure which would require all owners adjacent to an alley to jointly request the abandonment; all must pay their own legal costs; each would acquire only to the center of the alley; the village must retain an easement in all cases; the alley must be closed from block to block (not partially); and only alleys not regularly used for vehicular traffic may be abandoned. Guidelines are to be formally written by the attorney and printed by the village for public information. Tim Smith reported that he will attend a school in Kalamazoo July 18th on making application for the Land and Water Conservation Grant for Nashville which will develop ball diamonds, build a boat ramp and two docks (one at Putnam Park and one behind the stores) on the Thornapple River, recap an old tennis court, and complete paving of the behind-stores parking area. This will be a federal grant, applied for at state level with the DNR acting as lead agency. Deadline for filing the application is Sep­ tember 1st. The DPW has recently spread six tons of patch on village streets, Smith reported, and have also been repairing streets in the Fuller Heights Addition that heaved during the winter. The work should be completed in two or three weeks. The DPW has also poured 40 feet of curbing and 30 feet of sidewalk in a cleanup project following sewer and water line installation.

Carl Tobias, a member of the audience at the village council meeting, reported on the follow up of an offer by a Woodbury camping club to plant maple sapings in Nashville as their annual fall conservation project. The group will contact Tobias again soon to set final plans, but it is ex­ pected the planting may be undertaken the last weekend in September. The club volunteered their help in June when they read of the plight of our village’s dying maples in the Nashville News column. An offer of young trees for the project was received by the council earlier this year from a local property owner. A small portion of village-owned property in Maple Grove Township was annexed to the village of Nashville last Thursday evening. The land is the site of the new water tower located on Casgrove Street, and lies adjacent to the village.

This is not new. Animal agriculture research has already provided the American diet with highly nutritious beef, pork, milk and other animal products, and research continues to improve quality,” Acker stated. He believes research will be increasingly concerned about the influence of diet and its nutritional content As examples, he pointed to current efforts in increase the polyunsaturated fat content of beef and lamb; to produce palatable low sodium cheese; to produce milk products acceptable to persons who cannot tolerate lactose; and to increase the protein in milk. “We can also expect in­ creased emphasis on research aimed at modification of animal products to meet con­ sumption demands - closer meat trimming, chemical changes in meat production, and the blending of animal and vegetable products,” Acker said. He added that universities can expect increased demand for food technology and foods and nutrition programs to meet the growing need for more professionals with an un­ derstanding of nutrition and the finished food product and their relation to human health.

July 26. 1978 - Page 2 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley Who will be the 1978 Harvest Festival Queen? The RRDC committee is still waiting for candidates to be nominated for the contest. A brief letter from a sponsor (individual or organization) plus a $5 entry fee is all that is necessary to place a name in the competition. Sponsors will also be asked to place cannisters bearing their candidates picture in the various stores to collect “penny votes”. All proceeds of the contest will go to the Riverside Recreational Development Corp., sponsors of the upcoming October festival. Dedicated to development of community recreational facilities alongside the Thornapple River west of the Main Street stores, the RRDC is a volunteer, non-profit group. The Harvest Fesitval Queen will reign over the festivities during the three-day event, scheduled for the first weekend in October. Eligibility rules for the contest require only that the candidate have a Nashville address, be 18 years of age or older, and-not be a high school student (This is to avoid conflict with the Homecoming Queen contest which will be underway at MVHS at the same time). There is no upper age limit and it is hoped that matrons will also wish to par­ ticipate in the competition. Anyone wishing to enter a sweetheart, friend, sister, wife, daughter, mother or grandmother is encouraged to contact either Ray Hinckley or George Frith, co-chairmen of the event, prior to the August 1st deadline.

Ron (or “Rastus” as he was affectionately called by him many friends) will be greatly missed. Con­ dolences are extended to his wife, Myrtle, his children and families. Two French schoolteachers who are hitchhiking around the world were recent visitors at the home of the George Friths of Nashville. Friends of the Friths’ daughter Roxanne, a student of photography at Lansing Community College, the two young women had some very interesting tales to relate about their adventure. One, who is a French and English teacher, will see South America following her tour of North America in a year-long jaunt. The other, a physical education teacher, will return to her employment in France at the end of this summer: Roxanne, who. will be an assistant lab technician at LCC in addition to her studies there next term, met the teachers in Lansing. While in Nash­ ville, the visitors enjoyed a trip to Thornapple Lake to water-ski and a tour of Charlton Park Historical Village.

Local girl completes orientation at WMU AUGUST 8 - PRIMARY County Commissioner — District I A 14-year-old girl on a skateboard was fortunate to escape serious injury last Thursday afternoon when she skated into the side of a westbound truck on Reed Street near Carl’s Market. The girl was leaving the store parking lot when she ran into the moving vehicle, breaking her skateboard against the right front tire of the truck. No injuries were reported. Chief Kendal Wilcox policed the accident. Nashville was under a severe weather watch last Thur­ sday evening from 7:30 to 11:30 p.m. The Nashville Fire Department was alerted by the Civil Defense Office and our firemen went to the edge of town to check on a funnel cloud reportedly sighted in Barry County and heading toward Eaton.

Thirteen citizens were present at a public hearing con­ ducted last Thursday evening at village hall by the Nashville Zoning Board of Appeals to hear a request by Earl Wilkins for a special use permit which would allow-him to open a used car lot at 204 S. Main Street. The property in question is the site of the former Total Service Station. Members of the audience who expressed opinions on the subject were about evenly divided in opposition and support of the enterprise. The Board appointed a special committee to investigate certains aspects of the proposal, such as the size of the lot and the expected number of vehicles in inventory. The committee will report back to the Board at their next regularly scheduled meeting, August 17th, and a decision on Wilkins’ request will be made at that time.

Immunization Clinic planned for BarryEaton Counties ATTENTION - Many of you parents are not familiar with the disease of Poliomyelitis and its crippling potential. And did you know we still have cases of Diphtheria, Whooping Cough, and Tetanus? These are not forgotten diseases. Rubella is still causing birth defects in newborn babies.

The furniture is immersed in a tank of chemicals and then goes through a wiping and drying process. “It’s hard work, but fun,” Elaine says of her new job. Do-it-yourself buffs can take their furniture to the South­ worth’s for stripping and then refinish it themselves, or customers may take advantage of the complete furniture refinishing service the couple offer. Elaine and Stuart have developed their own techniques for restoring the original beauty of the wood and grain of the pieces of furniture they refinish. They have stripped and refinished wooden items of all sizes, ranging from a wooden bowl to a complete dining room set of solid cherry which included a six foot wide, seven foot high china cabinet. The Southworth’s stripping business is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday. The couple is looking for a building in the Nashville area to accomodate both the stripping and refinishing business under one roof. They also eventually hope to make their home in Nashville. Stuart gives alot of credit to Walt and Betty, who offer antiques for sale in the main part of the store, for helping them get started in business in Nashville. He added that Walt and Betty have plans to update and improve their own business and offer a “larger and better selection of an­ tiques”. Management Tour - Ottawa County.

(Maple Valley News Photo) Rail Shippers facing possible car shortage! Michigan shippers of grain, dry edible beans and other agricultural . com­ modities are experiencing the most severe shortage of rail cars in history, ac­ cording to B. Dale Ball, director of the Michigan Department of Agriculture. Contributing to the rail car shortage are: cars being removed from service faster than they can be replaced or built; railroad industry problems in moving loaded cars to destination; and increased world demand for U.S. feed grains, causing rail car back-ups at eastern ports. “Complaints that railroads serving terminal and country elevators are not furnishing a sufficient number of rail cars to ensure a steady movement of grains and dry edible beans to market are constantly received by the Michigan Department of Agriculture,” Ball said. Michigan grain and bean elevator operators appear to be utilizing the few cars available to best advantage. Cars are loaded promptly and elevator operators are asking receivers to unload quickly so they can be reused with minimum delay. Director Ball added that Michigan farmers rely on local country elevators as a marketing outlet for their grains and dry edible beans. If the 1977 crop is not moved out of the elevators, there will be no room for the 1978 harvest and farmers will have no market for their crops. In an attempt to determine the current rail car situation, MDA recently conducted a survey of Michigan grain and bean elevators. Results of the survey show 2,501 rail cars were received within the last three months although an additional 1,354 cars were on order. However, because of the approaching harvest season, the number of cars needed within the next three months will increase to 4,725. Officials of MDA * have contacted railroad officials, continued on page 11 - Rnnciub its good for you We don’t think you would call BanClub nutritious, but it is good for you — mainly because it is designed to save you money and pro­ vide you convenience.

Sure, the nurses who actually draw the blood come from the Regional Blood Center in Lansing, but everything else is done Idtally,” Herndon said. Volunteer blood donors are told about the date, time and location by a group of call volunteers who to prospective donors remind them to come. Local newspapers and radio carry the schedule and appeal for new donors to help meet the blood needs of Pennock Hospital which uses over 400 units of blood and blood products annually. Bob King always has a group of young people from the Hastings Youth Program efforts were made possible through the support of 102 Red Cross volunteers, many of whom are also blood donors,” Herndon said. Herndon noted that Red Cross could not provide their service without the con­ cerned efforts of people who give their time, money, and blood to help other people. “Red Cross really doesn’t to load and unload the equipment required to hold the program, and other volunteers register donors, volunteer Red Cross nurses take medical history and man the canteen along with other volunteers. “You’d be surprised how many different groups provide food for the canteen. The Hastings Key Club, Campfire Girls, and Girl Scouts all make cookies or In supply other items.. Middleville, Rotary and Lions take turns stocking the canteen. That’s important because need refreshments after giving, giving,” Herndon .noted. In Nashville, the Eastern Star provides volunteers and canteen items, as does the Ladies of St. Cyril’s Church. In Hastings, the First United Methodist Church provides volunteers and other services. In Middleville, the Woman’s Reading Club and Hospital Guild No. 10 provide volunteers for the program. “Last year, 812 different blood donors gave 1146 pints of blood at 17 Bloodmobiles Their In Barry County.

(7-25) years in blueberry production, but in 1977, about two-thirds of the crop was lost due to frost. The supply of wild blueberries, although native to North America, dwindled in Michigan in the 1920’s. During this period of decline, investigation began into the possibility of cultivating the fruit. Eventually, the wild blueberries were tamed by scientific technology, making this delicious fruit readily available to the general public. Cultivated berries tend to be larger * than wild blueberries, although similar in color and texture. Blueberries can be refrigerated for up to two weeks if left unwashed until ready to serve. To freeze them “as is” for winter use, you can either wash and dry the berries gently or leave them unwashed, then simply pack in airtight freezer containers leaving an inch of space at the top. Remember to wash berries when you take them from the freezer.

July 26, 1978 - Page 11 Vegetables may need drink by Pat Randles, Agricultural Assistant ,ss§ sVs*'^s W -W •k(k S^'s ££S ?S»!* *«&>■< wS •C? Are you putting all that hard labor into 90% water?! Yes, gardeners, that's what vegetables are composed of. So, you can see why it's important to maintain an adequate water supply for them to develop properly and produce the best yields possible. Here are some guidelines to help you, help your plants produce: —As a rule, garden vegetables need 1-2 inches of water per week, which is aboqt 2/3 gallon per square foot of soil. It is best to moisten the soil thoroughly to a depth of 6-12 inches at one time instead of frbquent shallow sprinklings. -The most critical times that water levels need to be maintained is during pollination and fruit set. Unfortunately, these stages usually coincide with the hottest and longest days of summer,. so increase water accordingly. --You may use many kinds of hoses or sprinklers. Soaker hoses are often best because they water into soil and don't wet foliage, which may spread disease. --Watering can be done anytime during the day without problem, although, it is more desirable to water in the morning because night irrigation increases humidity around plants and hastens fungal growth. —Rinse water can be used safely as supplemental water, but excessive amounts may alter soil structure somewhat and could cause toxicity (boron) on certain plants. —Deep hoeing and cultivation in dry weather wastes moisture. But in the same respect, weeds rob moisture, so they must be controlled. Mulching is a good way to reduce weeds and conserve moisture. —Remember, it is just as important to let soil dry between waterings; too much water can suffocate plants and also leaches away nutrients, especially in sandy soils. Excess watering shows up as yellow flowers and foliage, cracked fruit and eventual death. You'll find that the extra effort in supplying water to your garden will be generously rewarded by fresh, juicy produce. Continued from page 7- S***kta ***r«?

This question is frequently asked, according to Eaton County Extension home, economist Ann Ross. The answer is "yes," because freezing vegetables without blanching does not affect safety but does result in LOWER QUALITY of food. Changes in flavor, odor and even color occur in unblanched frozen vegetables. These become more noticeable as length of frozen storage increases. The changes are subtle, and may not be noticed in a short period of time. Research has shown that the freezing of raw vegetables and thawing causes abnormal enzyniatic activity and consequent development of "off" flavors. Have you ever seen vegetables frozen in the field — they just can't be used. If the enzymes are inactivated, however, by blanching — a short pre-cooking treatment — vegetables can then be successfully frozen and freezer-stored with good flavor over a normal seasonal period. Blanching is carried out by heating vegetables in steam or boiling water for a few short minutes. Use a blancher or a large sieve that can be lowered into a kettle of boiling water. Start counting time when vegetables hit the water. Blanching can also be done in a microwave in small amounts of water. Blanched vegetables should bp cooled FAST in ice water, then drained, packaged and frozen. For additional information, contact the Cooperative Extension Service in downtown Charlotte.

This is the second Bluegrass Festival of this season for Charlton Park. The music will begin at 12:30 p.m. Charlton Park is located on the banks of the Thor­ napple River near Hastings. The musicians from throughout western Michigan will perform in the datura] amphitheater of the Park’s Historical Village, amid-Michigan village of the late 1800’s created from restored buildings. Bands will include Sweet Corn from Kalamazoo, the High Canyon Ramblers from Grand Ledge, Horsefeather, the Williams Family, Cabbage Crik, all from Grand Rapids, and the National Recovery Act from the Chicago area. The festival was conceived as a fundraiser for fur­ nishing the Bristol Inn, a restored stagecoach inn located in the historical village. All proceeds have been returned to the Barry county-owned park for improvements in the village. To insure a good turnout, a family priced show with variety and quality is presented. Bluegrass music is based on traditional songs and pure, simple harmonies. Part of the appeal of bluegrass is its mountain flavor. The styles range from traditional bluegrass to “new” grass and from quiet folk solos to upbeat old-timey tunes.

Five injured in two-car crashFive persons were injured in a two-car head-on crash on M-79 three miles west of Nashville last Friday evening when an eastbound auto, driven by 30-year-old Carl Golnek of Hastings, and one driven by 24-year-old Garry Knoll of Nashville collided just west of DeVine Road at 9:53 p.m. Golnek was taken to Pennock Hospital in critical condition and later tran­ sferred to Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids. A passenger in the Golnek car, 25-year-old Kenneth Brown of Hastings, was listed in good condition Saturday morning at Pennock Hospital. Knoll, his wife, Becky, 25, and five-year-old son, Scott, were treated at Pennock Hospital and released. The Nashville ambulance and two from Hastings were needed to transport the victims. The Golnek auto was sheared in half by the im­ pact. Both autos were totaled. The accident is still under investigation by the Barry County Sheriff’s Department. The Nashville Police Department also assisted at the scene. Fair photos page 6 Andrus resigns from Zoning board, ordiance in jeopardy by Susan Hinckley Public apathy may kill Nashville’s 3-year-old zoning or­ dinance, village council officals feared Thursday following the resignation of Charles Andrus, Jr., as Zoning Ad­ ministrator. Citing lack of enough interested citizetis to serve on the Planning and Zoning Commission and difficulty enforcing the ordinance, Andrus advised the council by letter that he would step down from the position he has held for less than a year as soon as a replacement can be found. The post pays $1,200 a year and has been difficult to fill in the past. “No one who knows anything about it would want the job” said Councilman John Mason, reflecting the consensus of the council that the compensation was not equal to the work involved or the “hassle.” Tim Smith, Director of Public Services and Safety for the village and a past Zoning Administrator, feels “the majority of Nashville people are not ready for zoning”. Adding that “individuals tend to believe zoning applies to everyone else in the village but not themselves”, Smith offered the opinion that “until Nashville decides that it needs zoning the or­ dinance might as well be scrapped.” Smith thinks that once residents begin to see their town seriously deteriorate they will recongnize the need for zoning laws. Smith said the ordinance, drawn up by a zoning consultant at the cost of $3,000 was “too cumbersome”. He explained that the law would, for example, cause a homeowner seeking to install a swimming pool to wait at least six weeks to obtain the necessary variance in zoning regulations. Councilman Bill Hecker, a member of the original Planning and Zoning Commission that worked with the consultant in a two-and-a-half project drafting the document, agreed that the ordinance was “difficult to understand but basically good,” adding that certain sections of it need to be revised. Carl Tobias, Chairman of the Zoning Board of Appeals responsible for ultimate decisions on variance requests, said the “ordinance could be changed to work more fairly but it would have to start with the Planning Commission, a board that rarely has a quorum at their meetings.” Village President Harold Christiansen, who must appoint com­ mission members, said it has been virtually impossible to find individauls who are willing to serve. Commission members receive no monetary compensation. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, August 2, 1978 -- Page2 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley A village long devoted to art, Nashville will soon have and arts and crafts supply and display center located in its’ downtown area. Vernon and Shirley Curtis of Lawrence Road have purchased the former Cuyler building on South Main Street and will be remodeling the structure to house the arts and crafts enterprise, aiming at a November 1st opening date. Converting the present garage area of the structure into the main entrance and sales section, they will use the upper floor office area for instruction of arts and crafts if there is sufficient local interest in the classes. Vernon and Shirley hope that Nashville’s many artist and craftsmen will want to share their talents by teaching others. Plans also called for display of local art work to-be sold on an assignment basis. In addition to the art en­ terprise, the rear of the Curtis building will contain a precision machining business, a field in which the new owner is currently employed. Vernon is also a talented artist, paintingin oil and pastels, and has displayed at many area art shows. Assisting with the operation of the new venture will be the five Curtis children, ranging in ages from eleven to twenty. A new tourist brochure on Nashville is being developed by the local Chamber of Commerce. The organization’s Tourist and Publicity Committee met last Monday evening with the Executive Board to discuss publication of the material. Kathy Kelley, daughter of the Max Kelleys and an advertising major at MSU, has designed the proposed brochure. She submitted her written copy, art and photo work at the meeting for committee approval. A few ad- ditional pictures are currently being sought. As soon as alll the necessary material is acquired, the brochure will be submitted for printing. Several thousand copies of the brochure will be placed in facilities throughout the state by the Michigan Tourist Council. The Chamber of Commerce will also use the brochure in responding to correspondence received seeking information about Nashville. Many readers will remember the late Mrs. Arthur (Ethel Parrish) Stansell, a Nashville native who became welll known locally as an antique dealer marketing glass and silver items on a nationwide basis from her State Street home and, later, from Main Street shop. However, some folks may not have been aware of Mrs. Stansell’s other mulit-talented facets which included a special flair for writing. Mrs. Clarence (Bernice) Shaw, who was a close friend of Mrs. Stansell, was kind enough to share with us material she had detailing Ethel’s early life and enclosed several pages of fascinating and sensitive poetry composed by Mrs. Stansell. Ethel had, at age 17, attended school in Paris and pursued her higher education at various in­ stitutions of learning, including the University of Paris (Sorbonne), Columbia University and Pratt Institute. The wide variety of subjects she studied reflected her wide variety of interests in life; anthropology, archeology, land­ scape architecture, library science, music, and writing. Ethel’s ancestors were Nashville pioneers, among them her great-grandfather Gregg who was a founder of our village and whose name is still commemorated in Gregg Street and Gregg’s Crossing. Ethel left Nashville when she was six years old, returning in 1950 and living here until her death, at age 82, in 1963. Mrs. George (Marguerite) Wilson of Nashville enjoyed visits last week from former area residents. On Sunday, Fred Glidden, now of Blissfield, Michigan, called on Mrs. Wilson accompanied by his mother who resides in Indiana. The following day, Mrs. Marjorie Slout of Daytona Beach, Florida, visited Mrs. Wilson. Mrs. Slout, who taught in the Nashville schools for many years, was in Michigan visiting friends and relatives, and has been staying with the Herald Hansen family of rural Nashville. MVHS Graduates who were former band members are being sought to serve as staff assistants at the annual summer band camp at Alma College in August. Maple Valley band students will be attending the camp from the 13th through the 19th. Any graduates interested in the program are invited by the Maple Valley Band Boosters to attend the refreshment hour Tuesday evening, August 1st, to welcome the new band director, Jeff Petroskey. Present band members and parents are encouraged to be present at the 7:00 p.m. event at the high school. Mr. and Mrs. Dave (Rosalie) Murphy of Nashville visited their son and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Jeff (Rae) Murphy of East Lansing and enjoyed dinner out together last weekend. Jeff and Rae recently moved into a new apartment on the campus of MSU, where he will be senior next term. Rae is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roger Hosey of Kinsel High­ way. Guests for luncheon and an afternoon of visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Keith (Alice) Me Millen of Nashville last Tuesday were Al and Rose Smith of Largo, Fla. and Bill and Sonya Kjergaard of Nashville. The Smiths, former village residents, have been in Michigan visitng friends and relatives this past month. The staff of Putnam Library appreciates the “good neigh­ bor policy” of Ard Decker who stops on his way downtown every day to dig a few weeds our the library lawn. This is just one of the many volunteer tasks Ard has performed for the library over the past few years. Mr. and Mrs. Fordyce (Melissa) Showalter of Nashville donated a book to Putnam Library last week of “tested recipes prepared by ladies of the Baptist Church of Nash­ ville.” Published in 1929, the book was entitled “What to Eat and How to Cook It.” Some of the ladies who contributed recipes were: Mrs. C.L. Glasglow, Mrs. F. Gokay, Mrs. George Gribben, Mrs. B.B. Wilcox, Mrs. Emma Huwe, Frances Sellhorn, Mrs. W.S. Powers, Mrs. H.M. Dean, Mrs. Olive Carpenter, Mrs. J.L. Miller and Mrs. W.D. Inland. In addition, the book is filled with interesting advertisement from various local merchants of the time. Also found in the book, which is currently on display at the library, was a 1902 advertising postcard from the Atkinson Painting and Paperhanging Company of Nashville. The Nashville fire siren blew a steady blast last Wed­ nesday evening, about 6:15 p.m., to alert village residents to a tornado watch in effect until midnight. The watch was lifted at 9:00 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Gerald (Jane) Shoup of Nashville recently enjoyed a week-long stay at Traverse City during the annual Cherry Festival there. Highlights of the festivities were a parade and fireworks display. Jane reports that the cherries were not on yet, being about two weeks late this year, so cherries were shipped in for the event. However, a bumper crop is expected for the season. The weather has been warm and the area has had plenty of rain making everything very lush and green. Don’t forget to vote next Tuesday, August 8th, in the General Primary Election. Castleton Township residents will be voting for the first time in the new addition to the township hall located on the South Main Street in Nashville. There is now plenty of room so no one need stand out in the weather waiting to vote. Polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Please remember that primary elections are very important so be sure to take a few minutes out of the day to vote, exercising both your privilege and your obligation as a good citizen. Mrs. Hilda Baas will be hosting the Nashville Garden Club today, August 1st, at her home on Washington Street. Roll call for the 2:00 p.m'. meeting will be “Something good for hot days.” Refreshment commitfee for the event is Flossie Richards, Ruby Ball, and Irene Bloom. Gertrude Springer of Delton will present the program of “Flowers to Eat.” Mr. and Mrs. George (Kathryn) Augustine of Nashville returned last Tuesday from a month-long fishing and famping trip to northern Michigan. The Augustines spentt one week near Traverse City visiting Kathryn’s sister and husband, Mr. and Mrs. George Perry, then proceeded on to Charlevoix where they camped at Fishermens Island State Forest on Lake Michigan. Later the Perrys joined the Augustines for a stay at Du Bonnet Campground near In­ terlochen where they enjoyed fishing on Mud Lake. Mrs. Vade Kane, who resides at the Barry County Medical Care Facility, was taken to Pennock Hospital last Thursday and at this writing was reported to be receiving oxygen. The Nashville Police Department handled a wide variety of complaints last week, ranging from family fights and barking dogs to malicious destruction of property. In addition to vehicle and foot patrol, one court appearance was made by the department. Chief Wilcox was in 56th District Court last Monday on the case of a felony charge against a subject assused of issuing an insufficient funds check. Vandals were responsible for destruction of a village street sign last week. Sometime late Monday night, or early Tuesday morning, the sign at the intersection of Cleveland and Washington Street was crushed beyond repair. Tim Smith, Director of Public Services and Safety, advises that the cost of replacing the name plates on the sign is $30. A second sign was also bent, but repairable. Three little colts were found dead last Monday on a farm southeast of Nashville. They were lying on a hill within a few feet of each other at an unoccupied residence on Cloverdale Road. The animals were first sighted by a passerby on Sunday. The following day the Barry County Sheriff’s Department was summoned. The owner was to call a veterinarian to determine the cause of death. Reportedly the animals may have been struck by lightening but we were unable to verify this at the time of this writing. A BCSD spokesman said the animals appeared to have been in good health. Nashville residents who subscribe to garbage pickup service will be receiving new landfill permit cards with their sanitation and water bills this month. The new orange cards, which are being sent out by the village clerk with the August billing, will allow the recipient access to the village dump on East Casgrove for disposal of trash. The color-coded per­ mits are issued yearly and must be presented to the landfill attendant by individuals seeking to gain entrance to the dump. The concrete bench in Central Park that was recently destroyed by vandals will soon be restored. Tim Smith has ordered a replacement seat from a Battle Creek concrete step firm and the DPW crew will install it. The juveniles responsible for the destruction will pay the total costs of the project which Smith estimates will be about $50.

Arriving on the scene, the ambulance transported a 10 year old girl to Pennock Hospital for treatment of injuries which turned out to be only bruises. As the ambulance was leaving Hastings enroute back to Nashville, the crew received a callthat an am­ bulance was needed im­ mediately at the Fuller Street School ballfield where a player was reported to have sustained serious in­ juries. Officer Art Long of the Nashville Police Depart­ ment had responded to the call at the ballfield to render assistance until an am­ bulance could arrive. The Barry County Sheriff’s Department, aware that the Nashville ambulance was still out on the first call, dispatched a Hastings ambulance to the scene. However, just as the Nash­ ville ambulance was passing the Tick-Tock Restaurant on M-37 south of Hastings, they picked up the radio transmission and sped to the Fuller Street School. The Hastings ambulance returned to it’s base. At the ballfield, Mrs. Thomas (Beverly) Oleson had been knocked un­ conscious when she and another player collided during tournament play in the Women’s Summer Softball League. Beverly was transported to Pennock Hospital for treatment, where it was determined her injuries were not so serious as had first been thought. She was released following treatment and is wearing a neck brace temporarily. New books at Putnam Library Refiner’s Fire by Mark Helprin.

If you want to be sure of voting in the August 8 primary election, contact your local clerk for an absentee ballot application. Health Code - Governor Milliken has signed into law the massive revision and update of Michigan’s health care laws, HB 4070. This 450 page bill was the product of four years of work by people both in and out of state government. Public Funding - The five candidates for Governor have so far received a total of over $1 million in public funds to match small contributions they have received. This money was so designated by individual taxpayers on their income tax forms. Inheritance Exemption - The Governor recently signed into law HB 5552, which exempts from Michigan inheritance taxes the money a surviving spouse receives from a sur­ vivor’s benefit plan, annuity retirement plan or pension. State income tax will still have to be paid if benefits are more than $7,500 per year; federal income tax will have to be paid no matter what. ADC Collections - For the second year in a row (1877) Michigan led the nation in a program to collect child support from absent parents on behalf of ADC families. Total state collections were nearly $70 million out of $423 million nationally; ADC caseloads dropped by 2 percent. Tisch Tax - The Department of Management and Budget has reported that the so-called Tisch Amendment, which proposes a cut in property tax assessments, would actually result in and increase in the income tax to make up for lost local revenue. This is what happened when the food-anddrug sales tax was repealed. This amendment would not limit overall taxation. I’m not supporting this proposal. Minimum Wage - The State Labor Director has reminded employers that they must guarantee that waiters and waitresses earn at least the minimum wage of $2.65 an hour; a maximum of 25 percent of that can be deducted for tips and room and board. The minimum wage goes to $2.90 in January. Car Shortage - The State Agriculture Director reports that there is a severe shortage of railroad cars needed to move grain, dry beans and other agricultural commodities this summer. Reasons are cars wearing out faster, and East Coast backups in grain shipments abroad. Road Savings - A report from a Washington research agency says that Michigan could save more than $3.4 billion by resurfacing 20,600 miles of roads before they come too badly worn for routine improvement. Resurfacing decisions come from the State Highway Department. When you want results... . .. give our classified department a call!

Just about all of our group took the tests, but I don’t know if there were walk-ins from the village. Regular site meeting on the 11th of July settled busienss at hand. Recently a Consumers Power representative talked to the group about energy and showed a film strip entitled, “The Good Old Days”. Consumers will provide another film strip for our edification on July 25th. Rep. Wolpe visited the site and talked to us about housing, transportation and problems of retirees in general, then he and his staff were our guests for the noon meal. Our July 20th Co-operative Supper, which originally was scheduled to be at Putnam Park, was held at the hall instead, due to the mosquito problem and the uneven park grounds. Our number at supper was 27. The handicraft classes are progressing well. Those particiapating are having an enjoyable time, and some beautiful items have been completed.

Feme Green Nashville Site Reporter How many Michigan potatoes this year? To help answer this question, and similar questions in ten other major potato producing states, there will be a Potato Ob­ jective Yield Survey con­ ducted this summer and fall. The Michigan Crop Reporting Service, headed by Don J. Fedewa, Statistician in Charge, will handle the survey here in Michigan. Fedewa noted that of the 2,100 randomly selected potato samples, nationally; 140 samples are located in Michigan. The farm operators of the selected potato fields will be contacted by trained enumerators in early August. These enumerators will interview the farmers to obtain data, such as: acres, variety of potatoes planted, planting and harvesting dates. Within two days prior to harvest the enumerator will return to the sample field to make on-the-spot plant counts. They will lay out two 20-foot row sections and count the number of hills in each. Six hills will be harvested and sent to Lansing for weight analysis. After harvest, half of the sample fields will be revisited. A small area will Obituary cont. from col. 3 Mrs. Elmer Foreman of Muskegon, Mrs. Ralph (Sally) Watkins of Battle Creek, and Mrs. James (Meryl) Gray of Bellevue. Funeral services were held Monday, July 31, 1978, at 2:00 p.m. from Vogt Funeral Home, Nashville. Interment was in Lake view Cemetery, Nashville. be layed out and potatoes missed by the harvester picked up and sent to Lan­ sing for weighing. This is done to determine har­ vesting loss so net yields can be computed. This objective yield survey and data provided by potato growers will be used to make seasonal potato production estimates. These will be published in Ute fall by the Michgian Crop Reporting Service. Scramlin - Briggs to be united Joni Scramlin, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank (Darlene) Scramlin of Nash­ ville, and Michael Briggs, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dale (Bettyann) Briggs of Ver­ montville, were married Friday, July 7th, at the Nashville United Methodist Church.

Maggie had undergone surgery July 19th, and is now recovering very well. Rev. Harley Townsend, 92, a former Nashville resident, was hospitalized at Blodgett Hospital in Grand Rapids last week for minor surgery and has now returned to the Provincial House in Hastings were he resides. The father of Buryi Townsend of rural Nashville, Rev. Townsend lived on Cleveland Street in Nashville after his retirement from the ministry in 1962. He had ministered for over 60 years for the Church of the Brethern in Woodland and Battle Creek. Rev. Townsend, who is now totally blind, will be remembered by many area readers. , —< Jim Gretzinger, a summer resident at Camp Thornapple, is now home and doing well after recent hospitalization at St. Mary's in Grand Rapids. Mr. Gretzinger is a Florida resident and next-door neighbor of the Harry Johnsons of Nashville during their winter stay in the south. The Nashville ambulance was summoned, but not needed, when an auto accident occured last Wednesday night at the corner of M-79 and Thornapple Lake Road. When the Barry County Sheriffs Department arrived on the scene they radioed the ambulance crew, before it had left Nashville, that there was no injuries requiring transport. Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Corkins of Nashville enjoyed a recent camping trip to northern Michigan and the upper peninsula. They visited Mackinac City, Mackinac Island, Sault St. Marie and Tahquamenon Falls. The Corkins especially enjoyed seeing Cut River Bridge which spans a narrow river and wide valley ravine, about 25 miles west of St. Ignace. Earl Blake of Nashville underwent surgery at Leila Hospital in Battle Creek last Wednesday and is reported doing well at this writing.The surgery was related to the severe injuries Earl suffered last winter while snowmobiling in northern Michigan. Earl is in Room 615. Tom and Carma Maker, former Nashville residents now living in Orlando, Florida, arrived in the village last week to visit their son and family, the Bill Makers, and other relatives and friends in the area. ' Mr. and Mrs. Lowell Elliston and family of Rising Sun, Ohio, arrived in Michigan, Friday to attend the Jarrard family reunion held Sunday near Assyria. Former Nashville residents, Lowell is the son of Mrs. Ard Decker, and Mrs. Elliston (the former Beverly Snowden) is the daughter of Mrs. John Wixson. The Nashville Baptists are looking forward to next Sun­ day, August 6th, which they have designated “Homecoming Sunday”. Following Sunday morning Worship Service the congregation will gather for a picnic at Putnam Park. Rev. Roy Green of Harrison, the only living former pastor of the Nashville Baptist Church, will be honored. During the Sunday Evening Worship Service the Dave Douglas Trio from Plymouth will perform. “Homecoming Sunday” will launch a giant August “Miracle Month” campaign by the Nashville Baptists to surpass their record Sunday School attendance of 1,423. Village property was improved last week through efforts of the Department of Public Work and Village President Harold Christiansen. The lawn and riverbank area near the Scout Hall was lanscaped by the DPW crew to facilitate moving. The crew also laid footing for a tool shed near the Sugar Shanty in Putnam Park, while President Christiasen painted the roof of the Shanty with the help of Ceta Summer Youth employe, Scott Decker. In other duties last week, the DPW crew kept busy sweeping, village streets, repairing catch basins, blading gravel roads,and extending a storm sewer on Philadelphia Street. Mechanical repair work on village vehicles and equipment was also performed by the crew. Putnam Park is being used very often this summer by groups for various gatherings, reunions, and even weddings, reports Village President Harold Christiansen. A great deal of renovation has been done in the park this year, with the picnic tables being refinished, the old bandstand restored, and new playground equipment added. In addition to the recent improvemtas on the Sugar Shanty, the roof of the Community Room Building (old brick pump house) will soon be painted. Tim Smith, Director of Public Services and Safety, reports that several stop signs on village streets have been destroyed and misplaced by vandals. Anyone who misap­ propriates a stop sign can be held liable for accidents caused by his action, Smith advises, and he is fearful a serious collision could occur at an intersection where a sign has been taken. Local drivers should be aware of this situation and if they spot a missing sign, please report it to local authorities. A group of seventeen Nashville Scouts, with five adult leaders, made a recent 53-mile canoe trip down the Manistee River, starting near Grayling. The boys used eight canoes for their adventure, and camped out over the weekend. Officer Art Long policed a property damage accident on private property last Thursday evening when a motorist drove into a chain link fence at a Reed Street residence. Several visitors were present for last Thursday’s village council meeting, filling the village hall to capacity. One guest present was Richard McArthur of Woodland, representing the National Hikers and Campers Club from the Woodbury area. The group has offered to plant maples in Nashville this September as their annual fall conservation project. McArthur said he expects about 20 campers to participate which would bring about 35 workers. They ex­ pect to set between 60 and 80 trees, ranging from 5 to 7 feet high, during Saturday the last weekend in September. The council offered to pay for two nights of camping at Sandyland for the group in return for their volunteer labor. Community residents are also being encouraged by the council to bring shovels along and help. The saplings are being donated by a local property owner. Contact by the group was made through Carl Tobias of Nashville after club members read about our village’s dying maples in the Nash­ ville News. A local property owner was present, and two supporting letters were also received and read by the village clerk, protesting the junkyard condition at a Fuller Street home. The individuals felt the yard created an eyesore, devaluated neighborhood property, gave a poor image of Nashville, and was a health and safety hazard. The council said the matter had been in the hands of the Zoning Administrator for several months. An effort will be made to discuss the matter with the property owner, requesting him to clean up his property. Charles Andrus notified the council by letter that he will resign his position as Zoning Administrator as soon as a replacement can be found. Citing apathy on the part of the Planning and Zoning Commission and difficulty in enforcing the ordinance, Andrus said a quorum is rarely available for commission meetings. President Christiansen said it has been difficult to get individuals to serve on the commission, a job with no monetary compensation. The Zoning Ad­ ministrator position has also been difficult to fill and several council members expressed distress at the situation. Tim Smith, who has held the position in the past, said most Nash­ ville residents “are not ready for zoning, believing that zoning is for everyone else in the village but not them­ selves”. A complete report on the problem appears elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News. The council recognized Andrus’ resignation, subject to finding a replacement. Annual salary for the job is $1,200 and the council agreed that the pay was not sufficient for the knowledge required or hassle involved. Council and other public meetings may be held at the Castleton Township Hall in the near future if action is taken Continued on page 10 We will have the privilege of voting only as long as we accept that responsibility. von..

They cited problems with unauthorized persons going through their desks and paperwork during various public meetings. Items have been taken and confidential material gone through by individuals seated behind the desks of the clerk and chief at meetings when they are not present. The council agreed to the need for larger meeting quarters and President Christiansen appointed Councilmen Oleson and Spoelstra to meet with the Castleton Township Board on August 2nd to work out arrangements. David Dimmers has been retained as village attorney, effective August 1st, announced President Christiansen. He has also newly-appointed Mrs. Myrna Wolfe as Secretary­ Treasurer of the Lakeview Cemetary Board, filling a vacancy created by the recent resignation of Will Suntken. Councilman Oleson raised an objection to the practice of “plea-bargaining” by the Barry County prosecutors office, citing a recent arrest in the village in which the originall charges placed against the individuals were reduced. The council and audience was in agreement, and the clerk was instructed to write a letter on behalf of the council, ex­ pressing their displeasure to the county prosecutor. By an unanimous vote the council approved extending the deadline for paying village taxes from August 19th to Sep­ tember 23. Treasurer Lois Elliston was present at the meeting to explain that it would be beneficial to Nashville to allow a longer period of time to collect the funds before the delinquent accounts were turned over to the county for collection. Nashville will receive disaster relief funds from the State of Michigan to cover expenses incurred during the January snowstorm, Tim Smith reported. The council unanimously approved a resolution to apply for a grant to cover, among many other expenses, the cost of overtime pay for police and firemen and repair of snow removal equipment used during the storm. Smith esitmates the village may receive near $1,000 reimbursement. In other business, the council briefly discussed a curfew to curtail the recent wave of juvenile vandalism to village property. The Nashville ambulance was called at 10:40 a.m. last Friday to the site of a road construction accident near the Louis Hickey farm on Valley Highway, located between Curtis and Mason Road in Eaton County. A crane tipped over on its’ operator, James Bowler of Marshall, but he was freed before the ambulance arrived on the scene. A bulldozer also working oh the project pushed the cab clear of the man who was buried in the soft earth. The bulldozer was also needed to push the ambulance from the scene after the patient had been loaded, as the earth was extremely soft. The cab was crushed but the operator suffered only ap­ parently minor injuries and was transported to HGB Hospital in Charlotte. Chief Wilcox and Officer Long of the Nashville Police Department also responded to the call to assist until Eaton County and State Police units could arrive to cover the accident. ★ NOTICE ★ To The QUALIFIED ELECTORS General Primary Election will be held in Vermontville Township, County — ON — of Eaton Tuesday, August 8,1978 . . for the purpose of placing in nomination by all political parties participating therein, candidates for the following offices: □ State - Governor □ Congressional - State Senator Representative □ County - County Commissioner . . . and for the purpose of placing in nomination candidates participating in a non-partisan Primary Election for the following offices, vis: □ Judge of the Court of Appeals □ Circuit Court Judge □ Probate Court Judge □ District Court Judge . .. and for the purpose of electing: □ Delegates to County Convention of the Democratic and Republican Parties.

Families with incomes under $8,000, including senior citizens, should contact your local Social Sevices office. - SPENDING VETO - Governor Milliken has vetoed the 1978-79 Community Colleges budget bill, saying that its spends directives are not keyed to local needs. A new bill can still be passed before the fiscal year begins October 1. DRUNK DRIVING - The Governor recently signed into law HB 4492, which requires that anyone convicted of drunk driving twice within 7 years' must lose his dri er’s license. Prior law had the provision for 2 convictions within a per­ son’s lifetime. OPEN SPACES - As a result of the 1974 Farmland and Open Spaces Act, over 660,000 acres of farmland have been contracted to remain as is for up to 10 years. The Act was designed to protect farmland and other undeveloped property from forced sales due to increased property tax burdens. A landowner agrees to keep the land as is in ex­ change for low taxes. NO SPAY - The Attorney General has ruled that a county may not operate a spay and neuter clinic for dogs and cats. Although the law provides for licensing, keeping and-or destroying dogs in certain cases, it cannot be interpreted to allow such a county agency: TRAILER EXEMPTION - Another new law resulting from this spring’s legislative session is HB 4173, which exempts travel and camping trailers used primarily for recreation and vacation living quarters from the propterty tax law. Previously, a loophole in the tax law allowed local assessors to treat such vehicles situated on campgrounds as taxable real property. > RAT CONTROL - Although it may seem like a problem of previous generations, there’s still a need to control rats in out cities. A just-announced $360,000 federal grant will go for rat control projects in Highland Park and Saginaw; a Benton Harbor grant could come later. TIRED ROAD - An experimental project in southwestern Michigan will use more than 10,000 old automobile tires, ground up into tiny pieces, to help resurface a state high­ way. The asphalt-rubber mix has worked well ip other states to extend pavement life. U. P. INFO - Our Upper Peninsula has 2 national parks, 2 national forests, 213 state campgrounds and 150 waterfalls.

Anyone can have an emergency at home that calls for fast, intelligent use of the phone ... a sudden illness, accident, fire. Hopefully, you already have a list in your phone book or elsewhere near the phone, giving the numbers of your doctor, hospital, poison control police, tire department and your home address. But, if you have children at home, would they know how to use the phone in an emergency? Make sure they do. Show them where you keep the emergency numbers and how to call the operator, if necessary. Your babysitter should be told who to call, too. Know if 911 can be dialed for fire, medical and police help rrrypurarea. Nobody likes to think about emergencies at home. But, it’s better to give it a little thought now, than be sorry you didn’t later. Why not check out the family on your emergency phone call procedure right now?

Michigan Bell �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, August 9, 1978 — Page 4 Scouts organize cemetery cleanup for eagle rank project— There were trees to be cut down and trimmed, weeds to be hacked out of the way and gravestones to be righted when a dozen Boy Scouts and parents from Vermontville Troop 64 started to work on the Vermontville Township Cemetery, Saturday morning. “When I first came in here,” said Allen Hapeman, 15, “it was like a jungle. I had to crawl on my hands and knees to get through.” For as long as many folks can remember, the cemetery has been untouched. The newest grave the workers found was from 1918. But Hapeman thought the cemetery, located near the corner of Shaytown and Greshem, should be cared for, so he organized the clean up as a service project for his Eagle Allen Hapeman, who is working on his Eagle Scout rank, looks at a tattered U.S. Flag left on the grave of a Civil War veteran. Scout rank. The tenth grade Maple Valley High School student, who lives on Shaytown Rd., said the project turned out to be somewhat more than he anticipated, but he hoped they could get the work done in several Saturdays and anticipated keeping the cemetery trimmed up afterward. The scouts and parents worked from 8:30 a.m., Saturday through the afternoon, planning to return in two weeks. On Sunday, the entire troop left for Northwoods Boy Scout Camp near Houghton Lake. They raise money for their annual camp trip through newspaper and cardboard drives and operating a parking lot during the Maple Syrup Festival.

The Tri County Seniors are aboard the Argyle cruising along on a seemingly pane of glass among the islands in this International Lake. The lake is a great fishing place­ Walleyes, trout, bass, and pike. Our Captain told us there are 14,600 islands. Many have summer homes built on them. Our guide, Udo Romstedt, lives on one island. Udo is Mayor of Kenora. He has given us all his time today. He is char­ ming, delightful, and greatly in love with his city and the surrounding bush country. If ever in Kenora look for Udo. He will “sell Kenora to you.” He will see that you have a tour of your lifetime and will take you where the fish are biting. We has a fabulous luncheon at Holst Point Lodge on Winnipeg River at Minaki. Udo took us to the Indian Craft center and were thrilled at being invited into an Indian home and treated to cookies, coffee, tea, lemonade and hot Bannockdelicious. They knew we were coming and had a welcoming speech made up but the beautiful lady said she was so excited she couldn’t remember what she intended to say. She made us feel we were very much welcome.

Vernon MacDonalds are with us and they found grave markins with Mac­ Donald on them. Moose Jaw is an exciting city. Near the city was the slaughter pit where the Indians would bring their buffalo to dress out and then dry the bones etc. Until they would burn. It is said French trader arrived one day, got into an arguement with an Indian. The Indian picked up a Moose Jaw and split the Frenchman’s skull. Thus this city was named Moose Jaw.

BY Pat Randles, Agricultural Assistant Stagecoach Inn, Depot listed on Auto Club's 'Historic Haunts Tour' A museum tour of Michigan can lead travelers to such historic haunts as an 1832 stagecoach inn in the Irish Hills, a 19th Century opera house at Coldwater, an 1892 railroad depot in Petoskey and stately mansions once the homes of governors, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. An Auto Club selection of 17 buildings in 14 towns offers tourists an opportunity to visit the most offbeat among hundreds of museums in the state. Historic Walker Travern near Brooklyn (517-467-4414) was a famed stopping place for stagecoaches and pioneer wagons traveling between Detroit and Chicago. Visitors can view the guest rooms used by two heroes of the past-pioneer novelist James Fenimore Cooper and statesman-orator Daniel Webster. Sara Bernhardt, John Wilkes Booth, the Barrymores and other theatrical grants are depicted in the lobby mural at the 1882 Tibbits Opera'House in Coldwater (517-278-6029). Concerts, operas and plays are pre'sented there year-around and the Tibbits Art Gallery on the lower level features changing exhibits. Petoskey’s Victorian-style railroad depot has been restored by the Little Traverse Regional Historical Society (616-347-2620) and is operated as a museum during summer months. Featured are a porcupine quill basket collection and memorabilia of autRbrs Ernest Hemingway and Bruce Catton. Pine Grove, a Greek Revival mansion in Pontiac, was built in 1844 by Gov. Mosses Wisner, who used it as his of­ ficial residence while in office. It now is a museum operated by the Oakland County Pioneer and Historical Society (313­ 338-6732). Murphy Museum (517-479-9434) in Harbor Beach is the birthplace of another Michigan governor; Frank Murphy. The home was built in 1890. Oldest of the former governors’ homes is the 1835 mansion of Gov. John S. Barry in Constantine (616-435-7316). Lt. Gov. James Wright Gordon built his Greek Revival mansion in Marshall in 1839 in anticipation that the city would become the state’s capital. Although Lansing got that honor, the Marshall home still is known as “the Governor’s Mansion” (616-781-5163). Another famous mansion open to the public is the 1850s Greek Revival Kempf House in Ann Arbor (313-761-4510), .with its Steinway grand piano used by the great Paderewski in a University of Michigan concert. Concord’s 1883 Mann House' (517-524-8943) has a fine collection of photographs tracing the town’s history. Albion’s 1869 Gardner House Museum (517-629-5533) contains furnishings from the period, including a chandelier from the abandoned opera house in town. An exhibit of medical instruments pays tribute to the three generations of doctors who lived in Battle Creek’s 1886 Kimball House (616-965-2613). Marshall’s Honolulu House was built in 1860 by Judge Abner Pratt, who served as U.S? Consul to the Sandwich Islands. He was so charmed by the islands that he styled his home in an authentic Hawaiian motif. The home’s 19th Century antiques include a folding bathtub which could double as a bed. Another Marshall landmark is the Gothic Revival tworoom Capitol Hill School, which served the city for 101 years. One room of the restored building is set up as a 19th Century schoolroom. The other is a children’s museum. The one-room Nottawa Stone School on M-86, four miles east of Centreville (616-467-7761), was built in 1870 and is used primarily during the school year as an educational experience for area schoolchildren. The Beaver Island Historical Museum at St. James (616­ 448-2212) originally was a Mormon print shop, where a daily newspaper was started in December 1850~the first daily newspaper printed north of Grand Rapids. The museum collection includes many items from the period when James Strang crowned himself- king of the Mormon colony. The curious contrast of castle and log cabin is found at Owosso (517-725-7610). Outdoor writer James Oliver Curwood’s studio, nicknamed Curwood’s Castle because of its resemblance to a Norman fortress, is an art gallery. Owosso’s oldest house, the 1836 Comstock Cabin, is a museum with furnishings appropriate to the period. At last, gardens have reached the stage when you begin hauling in the harvest, and in some cases, wondering who can take some zucchini or green beans off your hands! Fresh vegetables at their best are your welL-deserved reward for many hours of work. To get the best possible flavor and texture, it’s important t) pick garden produce at the proper maturity. This means atching the plants closely and harvesting every day as the •getables ripen. Removing all vegetables as soon as they >en also helps the plants produce over a longer period of time. • Try these guidelines for proper harvesting: CORN: Sweet corn is ready for harvest when the kernels are plump and milky. That is, they will spurt a little “milk” when they are punctured by a thumbnail. Ears should be fully filled out. The husks will be dark green and the silks brown and dry. 4JEANS: Harvest the pods before they reach full size, usually 2-3 weeks after first bloom. The pods should show only slight bulges from the developing seeds inside. BROCCOLI: Harvest by cutting with a sharp knife when the heads are still tight. These heads are the clusters of flower buds, and will open into yellow blooms if not har­ vested in time. After the center stalk is cut, smaller side stalks will develop which can be harvested for another month or so. CAULIFLOWER: Cauliflower heads should be covered with the leaves when they are 2 to 3 inches in diameter. About 1 week later the heads will be ready. Harvest when the curds are still tight and not yellowed. Andy Gribb, Donny and Marie EGGPLANT: For best eating quality, harvest eggplants a slated at Michigan State Fairlittle before they reach mature size. The fruit will be glossy and the seeds inside will be small and green. Twenty-year-old superstar ONIONS: Onions for fresh table use can be Harvested Mon.

The early summer Michigan apple season nears completion with the har­ vesting of Paulared apples, a new late summer variety. Consumers can expect to find Paulareds on the market between the middle of August through the middle of September. Ideal growing conditions have contributed to high quality. Generally, this apple has excellent color, slightly tart flavor and light to creamy flesh. Paulareds are known as an all-purpose apple. They are good for eating outof-hand, pies, sauces and salads. This new apple variety is a good keeper for several weeks under refrigeration. Paulareds may be iden­ tified by checking the con­ sumer pack fop the name of the variety. This new summer variety was discovered several years ago on the Lewis Arends • Orchard near Sparta, Michigan. The apple was named “Paulared” after Mr. Arends’ wife, Pauline.

WjIHffll ogeHoll,No$hvil e,M hr rate b WWW MU iMbityMItyd East Lansing, Mich.-What are beef producers doing about the rising price of meat? One way to find out is to attend the 30th annual State Farm Management Tour in Ottawa County on Aug. 17. John and Judy Koster’s 448acre beef farm is one of the nine stops in Michigan State University’s tour, which will show some of the top operations in the county. “It’s hard to believe that our rich and diverse agricultural lands once produced little more than mosquitoes. In the past century, we have developed into one of Michigan’s top producing counties for many commodities, including eggs, blueberries, cantaloupe, celery, milk, barley and apples,” says Larry Stebbins, MSU Cooperative Extension Service director in Ottawa County. The Koster farm, on Linden Drive just west of Grand Rapids, was pur-* chased by John’s parents, John and Edna, in 1948 as a dairy farm. In 1962, the farm switched to beef. It was a partnership between John and his father until his death in 1974. Today the enterprise markets about 850 head annually, about 80 percent as choice. About a quarter of the cattle are sold directly to local customers. John's mother handles the sales and records for this aspect of the business. The balance of the 'cattle are usually marketed to a local packer. At the time feeders are purchased, a number are contracted or hedged on the futures market. The cattle are fed anhydrous-treated corn silage with a 12 percent protein content; and 35 percent of the ration is high moisture ground ear corn. A Rumensin, salt, mineral and vitamin mix with carrier is added to provide a half- pound per head per day. Soybean meal is fed until dry matter consumption of new cattle is up to two percent body weight. Outside fed cattle gain 2.25 to 2.50 pounds per day. Feeding is done with a scale-equipped feed mixer truck in fenceline bunks. The farm’s crop program this summer includes: 200 acres for com silage; 160 acres snapped ear com; 27 acres of oats; 11 acres of alfalfa; and 45 acres in set­ aside which will be planted to barley in the fall. About 80 acres of com are irrigated with water from a gravel pit on the farm. John is vice president of the Michigan Cattlemen’s Association, chairman of the Cattle Political Acton Committee, on the market order division of the Farm Bureau Michigan Agriculture Commodity Buying Association, and a member of the Ottawa County Social Services Committee. Judy is active in the volunteer 4-H Handicap Riding Program, is a volunteer guide at the John Ball Park Zoo, and with help from daughter, Shellie, conducts schools and training for horses and riders. She has a special horse barn and training paddock. Judy competes in many state and out-of-state horse exhibitions. In addition to helping her mother, Shellie is active in 4­ H, shows steers and horses. John and Judy’s oldest son, Bradley, is also active in 4-H, showing steers, and produces five acres of melons, employing friends and neighbors for seasonal help. Many of the melons are marketed from the farm, but he also supplies several food markets, selling the surplus at Benton Harbor. The youngest member of the family, Kenny, annually raises 300 White Rock roasting chickens, marketing them to neightbors when the chickens are in the 8- to 9-pound range. State cattle numbers at all time low— Cattle numbers fell 10 percent from last year, according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. The July .inventory survey counted 1,350,000 cattle and calves, the fewest in the mid­ summer survey's 5 year history, and the lowest Michigan cattle count for any period since 1929. Heavy herd culling, high beef prices, a long cold winter with high death losses, and high hay prices combined to bring about low cattle numbers. The inventory includes 570,000 cows that have calved, down 6 percent. Milk cows at 404,000 head ad- vanced slightly in the past year, while beef herds liquidated 18 percent of their cows, leaving only 166,000 on hand. Replacement heifers over 500 pounds gained 2 percent in milking herds to 175,000, but slipped 6 percent in beef operations to 31,000 head. Other heifers, many in feedlots, dropped 18 percent to 50,000 head. Steers at 203,000 and calves totaling 297,000, both dropped 17 percent, leaving fewer cattle in fattening feedlots. Bulls lost 3,000 in numbers to a current total of 24,000 head. The 1978 calf crop is forecast at 550,000 head. This includes calves born sinceJanuary 1, plus an allowance for those yet to be born from now to the end of the year. If realized, this total would be 4 percent short of 1977.

Mrs. Amy Bower of Hastings, President of the Barry County^Historical Society, has offered to submit the necessary material to the Michigan State Historical Com­ mission for consideration. Acceptance by the Commission, a Department of the Secretary of State’s Office, would ap­ prove placement of a Michgan Historical Marker on the site. Most of the factual information needed for the project is included in the Nashville Centennial Book. However, Mrs. Bower is seeking remembrances of older village residents in order to select information for printing on the sign. Personal memories often add local color to historical facts and the Commission seeks to present the history of each site in a concise and interesting manner. Older photos, clippings, and personal memories can be most helpful for the presentation to the Commission as well as in future dedication ceremonies for the sign. Anyone who can be of help is encouraged to call either this reporter or Mrs. Bower.

Nashville, Wodnmday, August 16,1978 - Pago 4 Combines moving across wheat fields Wheat combining is about half completed Statewide, according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. Operations have begun late this year and moist, humid weather slowed combining during the week ending July 29. Rains were a welcome relief from the dry spell in some areas and gave crops a much needed boost. After receiving some good rains, a St. Clair County farmer exclaimed, “Alleluia! But the good Lord could afford to drop a little more.” Some Michigan areas remain very dry, especially the northerr Lower Peninsula and the southeast. There were about 5 days suitable for field work during the week and farmers were mainly occupied with harvesting, irrigating, cultivating, and spraying. Armyworms continue to be a major problem and farmers have resorted to aerial spraying in efforts to control the situation. CORN: Michigan’s corn continued to make fair progress as almost half of the crop is silked. This compares to 80 percent last season. In many areas the crop is showing signs of moisture stress. However, as a Montcalm County farmer said, “Corn is really making good progress where there is sufficient moisture.” A Menominee County far­ mer reported corn over 6 feet tall, while a Bay County grower remarked, “The corn is awful tall this year.” SMALL GRAINS: Far­ mers have put almost half of the wheat crop in the bin, compared to 95 percent last summer and 80 percent in an average year. Reports vary concerning yields. Dry weather is needed to allow growers to finish harvest Oats continue to ripen up. Only a few fields have been combined, well behind last year when 30 percent was harvested. DRY BEANS & SOYBEANS: Dry beans continue to progress well. No major insect or disease problems have been reported. Recent rains in the “Thumb” were highly beneficial, but some storm damage did occur. More than half the crop is in bloom. Nearly 15 percent has set pods, the same amount as last summer. Soybeans are 40 percent in bloom with about 10_percent setting pods, behind last season’s 15 percent and 20 percent normally.. POTATOES & SUGAR­ BEETS : Harvesting of early potatoes has begun, almost right on schedule with last year. Yields are on the low side due tto dry weather. Sugarbeetss are doing well and were given a boost by the rains. HAY & PASTURES: Second cutting of hay was slowed due to rainy weather. About 40 percent of the crop is cut compared to 70 percent last summer and 50 percent normally. Some first cutting is still underway in the Upper Peninsula. Most pastures were able to supply adequate grazings after receiving a boost from recent rains. But in the northern Lower Peninsula and the southeast corner, pastures are still short. FRUITS & VEGETABLES: Cherry picking continues mostly in the Traverse Bay area. Sweet cherry picking is 75 percent complete and is “at its peak.” Normally, har­ vesting is complete-by this time; Harvesting of tarts follows behind with 65 percent of the crop picked. This compares to 95 percent last season and 85 percent on the five-year average. Blueberry picking continues with 15 percent of the crop in. The first peaches of the year were picked, fall apples are sizing well in the major fruit areas, but dry weather is limiting sizing on the east side of the State. Picking of the snap bean crop is well underway. Pickle har­ vesting continues, while sweet corn and tomatoes are just starting to come in. Hail damged tomatoes in the southeast.

PIECES OF EIGHT NOW ON SALE MICHIGANxmOX LOTTERY A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative NEW FACES - As a result of last weeks’ primary election, at least 26 of 110 House members will be new next year, as will at least 14 of 38 Senate members. This could turn out to be the largest legislative turnover in many years. NO-FAULT BENEFITS - As a result of a 7.4 percent in­ crease in the cost of living, the'maximum wage-loss benefits allowed to accident victims under the no-fault law will in­ crease to $1,475 on October 1; total maximum benefits will be $53,100. CONTRACEPTION GUIDELINES - Guidelines for the teaching of birth control in public schools have now been sent out by the Department of Education. These are strictly volunatry: schools need not offer such programs, nor students attend. BUDGETS SIGNED - All of the budget bills passed during the legislature’s spring session have not been either signed into law or line^item vetoed. The final ones to be signed were budgets for the Department of Education and of Public Health. Budget levels are up somewhat from last year, but the spending increase is practically negated by the cost of inflation. ABORTION VETO - In signing the Department of Social Services budget, the Governor line-item votoed some $520 million in Medicaid funds due to language restricting the funding of non-therapeutic abortions. The Governor said the restrictions discriminated against the poor. The legislature can now either override this veto, or pass a new bill without restrictions. JAILED WOMEN - A recent Department of Correction report shows that the number of women in Michigan’s prisons population has tripled in the last 4 years, causing serious overcrowding; yet arrests of suspected female felons are down 17 percent. Reasons for this are unknown. FILE REVIEW - Governor Milliken has signed into law HB 5381, which guarantees employees the right to review their personnel file held by their employer. Employees may insert written rebuttals to items; however, job references and medical reports would still be confidential. TAX CLASSES - Another new law, HB 4570, seperates real and personal property into seven different classes for the purposes of tax assessment. A new classification, “developmental covers farmland subject to speculative pressure, thus reducing pressure on neighboring land.” INDIAN GIVING - Governor Milliken has granted $50,000 to the Saginaw-Chippewa Indian Tribe to help develop an employment-skills development center. This in turn will help stimulate employment among Native Americans, who have an unemployment rate ranging up to 38 percent. — PUBLIC HEARING — AUGUST 17, 1978 at 7 P.M. . . at Village Hall, Nashville, Mich.

The Rosier Players Substitution of leaded for unleaded gasoline in new vehicles is not a serious problem in Michigan, according to a survey by Automobile Club of Michigan. The Federal Environmental Protection Agency recently estimated that 10 percent of the nation’s drivers are swit­ ching fuels. But an Auto Club Survey of 400 Michigan service station operators showed fewer than one in 20 felt gas switching is a significant problem. Those who did said just six percent or more of their customers are asking to switch gasolines. Nearly 60 percent of the full- and self-service station operators polled said their customers never had asked to substitute leaded for unleaded gasoline. Although 40 states prohibit private vehicle owners from altering their gas tank openings to allow entry of larger nozzles used in pumping leaded gasolines, Michigan does not There are federal laws prohibiting gasoline swit­ ching but they apply only to service station operators, repair shops and fleet operators. Most drivers do not substitute fuels because of the cost of replacing ex­ pensive catalytic converters and exhaust systems, which are destroyed by lead gasoline additives, and- the prospect of added air pollution.

Home Economist The first day of school can be an awesome, scarey experience for a young child. As the time draws near, parents can do a lot to help their child adjust to the coming event, says Eaton County Home Economist, Ann Ross. The more experience a child has with separation from his parents, the less traumatic the first day of school will be. So take steps to strengthen your child’s, ability to be away from you. Let him stay overnight with his grandparents, other relatives or friends. Encourage your child to be more independent in eating dressing- and undressing himself. He will appreciate clothing with few and easy-to-handle fasteners. Provide opportunities for your child to find his way home from short distances away. Walk him to the nearby store, or a neighbors place on the next street, and let him direct you home. Walk him to school (if he won’t be riding the bus), so that he knows the way there. Teach him to cross streets safely. Tell him why there are guidelines for play on the playground. Show him around the school property-let him explore with you the parts of the school property he’ll be using. , Teach him to know his first and last name, his address, and his telephone number. Be sure you register your child in the school he’ll attend and have the immunizations specified for Michigan school children.

New apple Variety in Michigan by Pat Randles, Agricultural Assistant * RMLMfl. ; Crisp, fresh apples, homemade apple pies, spicey apple sauce, and many other tantalizing apple recipes are just around the corner. This year you may come upon a new name on the market-“Paulared”. The Michigan Apple Committee would like to encourage consumers to become acquainted with this new top quality apple variety. “Paulared” was discovered about 10 years ago and this year will be the first good crop ever to be marketed. Har­ vesting in Michigan will begin about August 10th and availability for consumers will continue through the middle of September. “Paulared” has a good, solid red blush color, and light to creamy flgsh, with an excellant tart flavor. It is a medium size apple and its uses are paractically unlimited; everything from pies, sauces and salads to “instant dessert.” “Paulared” holds up well and has a long storage life under refrigeration. — PUBLIC HEARING — AUGUST 17, 1978 at 7 P.M. . . at Village Hall, Nashville, Midv Request for variance for property located at 410 North State Street.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, August 16,1978 — Page 9 New laws affect farm employment Recent changes in state and federal labor laws affect most of Michigan’s agricultural employers.' The big change in social security is an increase in the tax the employer must pay. It went from 5.85 percent in 1977 to 6.05 percent this year. Employer rates for worker’s compensation insurance have also in­ creased. Employers who regularly hire three or more employes at one time, and those who have employed the same person for 35 hours or more per week for at least 13 of the past 52 weeks, must provide worker’s com­ pensation insurance for those workers.

Offsetting this decline was an increase in the number of lambs saved per 100 ewes one year and older from 113 in 1977 to 117 in 1978. The 1978 United States lamb crop was estimated at 8.02 million head, a 7 percent decline from 1977 and 10 percent smaller than 1976.' On January 1, 1978 the in­ ventory of breeding ewes one year old and older totaled 8.54 million head, 4 percent less than a year earlier.

Students under age 18 who work after school or during school vacations are excluded. So are crew leaders, members of their crews, partners in a farm business and members of the employer's immediate family. Whether an employer pays minimum wage depends mostly on how many em­ ployes he has. The federal minimum wage law applies to any farmer who hires 500 man-days of work during any quarter of the preceding year. This equals about seven full-time employes or 10 workers hired for 50 days. Many farms too small to come under the federal law are covered by the state minimum wage law. Farmers who hire four or more employes between ages 18 and 65 at any time during the calendar year must comply with this law. Both state and federal minimum wages are $2.65.

In other business, the council approved purchase of two protective armor vests for the police department and discussed the possibility that CETA funding for Officer Long may be cut on September 30th. The Finance Committee, headed by Councilman Spoelstra, will meet for a budget study and report back to the council on the economic means of the village to maintain a third officer. Councilman Hecker, Head of the Police Committee, said it will not be known until the latter part of September whether or not the CETA program will be discontinued in Barry County. Justin Cooley, Castleton Township Supervisor, was present at the Council meeting to discuss use of the township hall by the village for council and zoning meetings. The township board will require (1) that the village pay 50 percent of the electric bill for the building (to be re­ negotiated at the start of the new fiscal year) (2) that the village be responsible for janitorial duties following the village meetings, and (3) that no smoking be allowed during public meetings. The council unanimously approved these terms. If the township board agrees, use of the building by the village would start with the first council meeting in September. Some discussion of using the township hall and voting machines for village elections followed. Both the ad­ vantages and disadvantages of the machines replacing the paper ballot system at village hall were considered, but no final decision was reached. An Oshtemo firm, retained by the village last fall to compile all local ordinances in an indexed book system for easy reference, has not yet presented a pre-publica tion proof copy for council approval. A representative of the firm will be asked to attend the next council meeting. Zoning Administrator Charles Andrus, Jr., was present to discuss his resignation and problems with the village zoning ordinance.

According to Barry County Sheriff David O. Wood, no physical evidence was found at the scene to substantiate the original report Wood said the incident is still under investigation. Mr. and Mrs. Cecil (Jeanita) Barrett, former Nashville residents now living in Lakeland, Florida, arrived in the village last Thursday to visit friends and relatives in the area. The Barretts stoppedin Sturgis to visit Cecil’s sister, and will be calling on Juanita’s sister in Lansing this week.

Nashville. Wednesday. August 16. 1978 - Page 13 Nature from your back door by Glenn R. Dudderar MSU Extension Wildlife Specialist SNAKES ALIVE! Late summer always brings a rash of questions about snakes. Along with spring, when snakes are just coming out of hibernation, it’s a nervous time for people who fear snakes. Most of the calls I get boil down to a handful of questions: Is it poisonous? Does it bite? What kind is it? (Often callers ask one of these questions when they really mean another, but the . 'three aren’t synonymous.) Does it nest in the house? How can I get rid of it? “Is it poisonous?” is most people’s first concern. Only one of Michigan’s native snakes is poisonous, the Massasauga rattlesnake. Like all rattlesnakes, it carries a potent poison in its fangs. But because it’s small -- seldom reaching two feet long - it doesn’t have much poison to inject. This doesn’t mean its bite isn’t dangerous - it is. Rattlesnake poison is a protein that destroys tissues such as blood and muscle tissue, so an untreated bite can result in permanent disability. But even a child is unlikely to die from it. Prompt treatment reduces the likelihood of death even further. Fortunately, the Massasauga is one snake you’re not likely to find in your backyard - unless your yard is right next to a marsh or wet meadow. This doesn’t mean it’s impossible to bump into one close to home. In a hot, dry summer, the snake may range out of its usual moist habitat in search of food. Ordinarily you probably won’t see one, however, even if you invade its home grounds. This snake would much rather escape than stand and fight. The three snakes you are most likely to see close to home are the common garter snake, the milk snake and the northern water snake. Unlike the rattlesnake, PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS DIRECTORY LIMESTONE & MARL none of these snakes is poisonous. That doesn’t mean they won’t bite! The garter snake very rarely bites in self-defense.. Like most nonpoisonous snakes, it has a much more effective defense strategy. If caught or handled, it promptly defecates on its captor. The smelly liquid that it tosses around with its writhing can be very discouraging to anyone desiring a closer acquaintance with the reptile. The milk snake may bite if trapped or handled, but, like most other snakes, it would rather escape than make a stand. Its bite causes nothing more than scratches. The northern water snake is of a totally different disposition. Pugnacious is a good word for it And it’s earned the snake a reputation for being mean and nasty. If you encounter one on a trail down to the lake, for instance, he’s just as likely to coil up in the trail and defy you as to try to slip away quietly. If you’re between the snake and the riverbank as he heads for the water, he’s just as likely to come straight at you as to veer off to go around. Though it may be hard to believe that the snake isn’t charging, he isn’t going to attack. Nonetheless, if cornered or molested, this nonpoisonous snake will bite, repeatedly if it can, and defecate as well. Most people who call me about snakes are content to know that their snake isn’t poisonous or that it won’t bite if they leave it alone. I ask those who want to know what kind of snake it is to tell me what it looks like. There are four possibilities: the snake is all one color, it’s striped (lengthwise), it’s banded (bands of color run across the snake all the way to the belly line on each side), or it’s blotched (irregular splotches of color appear on the back and sides but do not reach all the way around to the belly line). Among the common snakes, the garter snake is striped, the milk snake is blotched, and the northern water snake is banded on the forepart and blotched on the rest Belly rest of of the the body. body. markings may also be distinctive: the milk snake has black squares and the northern water snake has red half-moons on its un­ derside. A frequent concern is that snakes will get inside the house and raise a family there. They may come inside, in search of food or hibernating shelter, but snakes do not give birth or lay their eggs inside. So you don’t need to worry about a single snake becoming a large population - unless your house offers such a fine snake habitat that others come in. Getting rid of snakes in the house isn’t too difficult. One way is to make a snake trap. Place a damp cloth on the floor and a couple of dry cloths on top of that. Then wait for the snake to crawl into the dark, moist, warm hideout you’ve created for him. Then all you have to do is scoop up cloths, snake and all, and release the snake outdoors. If you don’t want to risk touching the snake, a snow shovel makes a good snake scooper. To keep more snakes from coming in, make the house as unattractive and unaccessible to them as you can. Seal up all openings onefourth inch or larger. especially around doors and windows and where pipes or wires enter the building. Cracks in the foundation may admit snakes, too. Remove accumulations of lumber, coal, pipe, trash, firewood or newspapers — inside and out - or pile them on pallets or racks up off the ground to reduce the number of potential snake hiding places. Then use traps or pesticides to get rid of the rodents or -insects that snakes might come in to feed on. As a last resort, consider fumigation by a professional. As for harmless snakes outside the house, why get rid of them at all?" They don’t do any harm to the home grounds or the people in it. And by feeding on rodents and insects, they do you a favor. Encountering a snake sunning on your back step wouldn’t be half as unpleasant, in my opinion, as altering your home grounds to destroy the snake habitat. To do this, you’d have to turn the whole area into a biological desert. Removing the cover that snakes like to lurk in would require keeping lawns mowed extra short, trimming shrubbery for a couple feet above the ground and eliminating dense plantings of flowers. The woodpile would have to go, and you’d have to wage all-out war on any insects that snakes might feed on. By the time you finished, the snakes would be gone, but your yard wouldn’t be nearly as attractive to people or wildlife, including songbirds. I don’t think it’s worth it. o>' c De Camp and the former Mr. and Mrs. Robert L.

More than 500 dairy animals from around the state will be housed in the stadium’s concourse during the event. “We’ve even set up a milking parlor complete with milking machines and a bulk storage tank,” says Gale Baumgard­ ner, MSU dairy youth specialist and show coordinator. On hand for the show will be six different breeds of dairy animals competing in more than 100 classes. “No place in Michigan will you see more breeds of dairy cattle brought together in one location,” Baumgardner notes. The animals-many costing $1000 or more-are owned and cared for by the 4-H dairy project members. More than 400 4H’ers will participate in the three-day~event which features a cattle show, an awards banquet, and the Dairy Herd Improvement Association’s (DHIA) Production Awards contest. Other competitions include the dairy science exhibit, demonstration and dairy bowl contests, which are based on the 4-H’er knowledge of cattle and the dairy industry, as well as their skills in presenting this information to an audience. “Since Michigan is the sixth largest dairy state, it is im­ portant for young people to get involved and learn about this important agricultural industry,” Baumgardner'said. All the activities at 4-H Youth Dairy Days are-open to the public free of charge.

Ar capacity crowd of in­ terested citizens was present to hear the board make unanimous decisions granting two special use permits and one variance. In a third decision, requested by Zoning Administrator Charles Andrus, Jr., the board acted unanimously to clarify and confirm an allowed use in a commercially-zoned district. Vernon Curtis, who recently purchased the former Cuyler Building at 205 S. Main Street for a combined Arts and Crafts retail outlet and light fabrication precision machining shop, came before the board to explain his proposed operation. “We only need a ruling on in­ terpreting use of the com­ mercial district (for the Curtis business)” said Andrus, asking the board to ’’verify it for future reference” for the Zoning School opens Monday August The 1978-79 school year for all students enrolled in grades K-12 in the Maple Valley Schools will begin Monday, August 28. School will be in session a full day on August 28. The Jr-Sr. high school students will begin classes at 8:25 a.m. and dismiss at 3:10 p.m. The elementary students will begin classes at 8:30 a.m. and be dismissed at 3:30 p.m. with elementary students walking home from school being dismissed at 3:15 p.m. School will not be in session on Friday, Sep­ tember 1; and school will resume on Tuesday, Sep­ tember 5. The hot lunch program in all buildings will begin on Monday, August 28. The price of lunches will ramain the same as last school year with the price in the elementary grades for students being 40c and 45c at the Jr-Sr. High School. The price of milk alone will be 5c for students. The cost of reduced price lunches for students that qualify will be 20 cents this year. Application forms for free or reduced price meals and milk are available in all buildings, and these forms should be returned to the building principal when completed. All students who are new to the Maple Valley Schools should register with the building principal prior to the opening of school on August 28. Registration hours are 8:00 a.m. until 11:30 a.m. and from 1:00 until 4:00 p.m. daily. All JrSr. high school students may come to the Jr-Sr. high school on August 21, 22, and 28 23 to get their lockers and schedules. The bus routes will be basically the same this year as in past years. If you have any questions regarding transportation, you should call Pat O’Brien at the school bus garage by calling 852­ 9421. General staff in-service meetings will be held Thursday, August 24 for all teachers, and, new teachers will be meeting again Friday morning. The teaching staff will include ninety-five staff members with two of these teachers being on a half-time basis. An additional one-half day kindergarten teacher was added this school year at Maplewood Elementary, and an additional reading teacher has been added in the elementary grades. Administrator. The village zoning ordinance permits light fabrication in a com­ mercially-zoned district but Andrus was concerned about interpretation of the word “light”. Curtis told the board his machining operation would be quiet and “not create as much noise as street traffic” for nearby residents. He said one would be able to walk by the front of his building and not hear the machines operating inside. The board gave Curtis unanimous approval for his business, which he plans to open in September. Charles Mead of 410 N. State had asked for a special use permit and lot-size variance for installation of an in-ground swimming pool at his residence. No objections were voiced by the audience, polled by Chair­ man Carl Tobias, and the board voted in favor of Mead’s request. The pool must be fenced and screened to comply with state and local regulations. In the third case, the board - citing four operational stipulations and requiring a second public hearing in six months - agreed to allow Earl Wilkins of Hastings to open a used car lot at 204 S. Main Street (former Total Station). An investigative report by a Zoning Board of Appeals committee recommended that Wilkins (1) limit his inventory to 15 autos (2) keep no inoperable cars on the lot (3) maintain a fence in good condition around the property and (4) limit body shop hours to 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. and sales hours to 8 a.m. - 10 p.m. Wilkins was agreeable to these conditions but Zoning Administrator Andrus questioned whether the board was attempting “to shape and regulate the village’s commercial district around pre-existing residences in the district”. Board member Lonny Kienutske agreed that the dwellings are considered “non-conforming use” under the zoning ordinance but said “the residents should be considered”. Kienutske, expressing concern about late-evening noise disturbing those living near the car lot, said the board should remember “this is a small town, not a big city” and should act accordingly. “We must be fair both ways - to the man who wants to run a business and to the people (nearby residents)” said board member Neil Spidel. Village President Harold Christiansen, who was in the audience, said he had no objection to the enterprise and reminded the board that they would have an op­ portunity to reconsider Wilkins’ renewal permit in six months. The board then voted unanimously to approve the request by Wilkins, who expects to begin operation of the used car lot by Sep­ tember 1st. In other business, the board agreed to notify all Zoning Board of Appeals and Village Council members a whenever question requiring a public hearing comes before the board. This will be done by sending a copy of the public hearing notification letter to village officials as well as residents affected by the board’s decision.

The pilot approached park owner Sandy Salyers and asked to buy tickets for the Sunday show featuring comic Jerry Clower. Explaining that he was enroute to Kalamazoo “fly-in” from his Lansing home, the pilot said he would return the next day. Landing about 5:00 p.m. Sunday, between the afternoon and evening performances, the helicopter pilot was soon deluged with spectators seeking rides. . Many enjoyed a birds-eye-view of the park and local photographer, Eugene Hampton, had an excellent opportunity to add some unusual shots to his impressive collection of Sandyland photos. The pilot and his wife, who had driven a camper home to the park, spent Sunday night at the campsite and promised to return by helicopter for another Sunday show. Enjoying a recent flight to Cleveland, Ohio, were Mr. and Mrs. Joseph (Mary) Tegel. The Tegels visited his son and wife, the Robert Tegels of Mentor, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland. While there they enjoyed a visit to the Aquarium and the City of Cleveland Greenhouse. The Tegals flew from Grand Rapids. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Larry (Rae Ann) Rollins on the birth of a daughter, August 11th.

Hostesses for the event were Arlene Cheeseman and Joyce Starring. Mrs. Leonard (Amy) Putnam and Mrs. Helen Furlong of Nashville served at the Crystal Springs Camp for Special Children near Dowagiac last week. Mrs. Putnam directed crafts for the children and Mrs. Furlong was on duty as camp nurse. The camp is sponsored by the West Michigan Conference of the United Methodist Church. Mr. and Mrs. George (Kathryn) Augustine of Nashville recently called on friends, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Schlarb at Lakeville, Indiana. Herbert had undergone recent knee surgery and developed complications, necessitating his being hospitalized a second time. Recent callers at the home of the George Augustines were friends, Mr. and Mrs. William Ratliff of Indianapolis, who had been on a-camping vacation in northern Michigan and visited various friends in the area. Guest at the George Augustine home for Sunday dinner following the August 13th slow pitch softball tournament games, were their daughter and her husband, Audrey and Dick Deming of Algonquin Lake, and friends, Mr. and Mrs. David (Pat) Yarger of Hastings. Recently returning from a trip to Tennessee were Mr. and Mrs. Roger (Elaine) Metz and children, Don, Cindy, Keith, and Michele, accompanied by Mrs. Ruby Ball, all of Nash­ ville. Roger had just completed two weeks Air National Guard Reserve duty in the south. Elaine, the children, and Ruby spent ten days in Tennessee before returning to Michigan. They report very rainy weather during their stay. Enjoying a recent visit from their daughter, Kathy, annd family-the Mike Whitingers of Tyler, Texas—were her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Spidel of Lacey Lake. The Spidels are former village residents. Kathy, Mike, and three children departed last Friday for Texas after a two-week stay here. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Ronald (Nancy) Rosin on the birth of a son, August 13th. The boy, who weighed 7 lbs. 1 oz., has been named Robb Royce. The Rosins, who live on M­ 66 south of Nashville, are teachers in the Maple Valley School system. Robb’s proud grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Junior (Katherine) Newberry of Bellevue, and Mr. and Mrs. Herman (Lorraine) Rosin of Spring Lake, Michigan. Mrs. Elizabeth Irwin of Beverly Shores, Indiana, was in Nashville last week to visit her daughters, Mrs. David (Rosalie) Murphy and Mrs. Marshall (Gloria) Goodner, and their families. Mrs. Irwin was accompanied by her grand­ daughter, Pam Elliston, daughter of Samuel Elliston of Indiana. Over 100 Maple Valley Band students attended the Mar­ ching Band Camp at Alma College last week. The young people were accompanied by Band Director Jeff Petroskey and seven parent chaperones. Serving as staff assistants were four local MVHS graduates and former band mem­ bers: Steve Wheeler, Rose Frith, Joe Jarvie, and Tony Frith. Reports are that the students worked hard but en­ joyed themselves and learned a great deal. Mr. and Mrs. Clarence (Bernice) Shaw recently presented Putnam Public Library with a book, “The Continent We Live On”, which had been given to Mrs. Shaw in 1961 by the late Mrs. Ethel Stansell to commemorate their travels together. Included in the Shaw’s gift to the library were copies of poetry written by Mrs. Stansell and several newspaper clippings detailing her life. In addition to the Stansell material, the Shaws also gave the library a volume entitled “A Treasury of Grand Opera”, which relates the story, history, and music of seven operas as edited by Henry Simon.

A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative TRANSIT PACKAGE - Legislative leaders have met this month to work out plans for a final effort to pass a statewide transportation package in September. This would mean an increase in vehicle fees and taxes, which may be difficult to pass. POWER SHORTAGE - The Attorney General has ruled that local civil rights commissions have no power to enforce civil rights laws because the state has pre-empted that authority. These groups may provide education, counseling and advice. TAX REPORT - A recent survey by the Advisory Com­ mission on Intergovernmental Relations says that Michigan’s property tax rate is 4th highest in the country, and that this runs the risk of provoking a tax revolt at the ballot box. - YOUR VOTE - Since the turnout in the August 8 primary election was low, as is usually the case, those people who voted saw their votes count even more. In one district, a candidate was first declared a winner by one vote, then lost on a recount by 27 votes out of 3,500; in another area, a judicial candidate was nominated by just 10 votes over his competitor. SCHOOL PACTS - As of about 4 weeks before the opening of school, somewhat more than half of Michigan’s 530 K-12 school districts had ratified or had tentative agreements with teachers. This represents about 65 percent of total school enrollment. OFFICERS’ PAY - The State Officers Compensation Commission will soon meet to discuss salary levels for the governor, lieutenant governor, supreme court justices and legislators. The Commission meets every two years for this purpose. Its members are appointed by the governor and are not controlled by the legislature. They can set automatic pay increases. FERRY SERVICE - Governor Milliken has warned that the phase-out of railroad car-ferry service between Ludington and Wisconsin will aggravate inflation and unemployment in Western Michigan. The Interstate Commerce Commission is now holding hearings on whether to discontinue it. PUBLIC RECORD - A case now in the Michigan Court of Appeals turns on the question of whether to make public the salaries paid to employees of state universities. A lower court ruling has said that this required under the Freedom of. Information Act. FISH LAW - A DNR-related task force has been appointed to develop a new draft of Michigan’s commercial fishing law. The present law was last revised in 1968 and has several deficiencies. Also, court suite on Indian fishing rights have hindered administrative efforts. Action Ads YARD SALE: Aug. 26 - 30 4610 WANTED: A responsible including Sunday.

"The softball diamonds are bound to help the Main Street merchants" said Smith, pointing out the number of regional tour­ naments hosted by Nash­ ville. “Players generally bring their families along” Smith continued “and wives generally like to shop”. The village must match funds received under the federal grant but donations of- labor, materials, and equipment will count as payment of Nashville’s portion of the total project. A public hearing on the grant application for the proposed recreational park will be held at 6:30 p.m. August 24th, preceding the regular village council meeting. The public is in­ vited to attend the hearing to present comments regarding the proposed project. Looking forward to what he calls "a general beautification of the Thor­ napple River area in Nash­ ville”, Smith hopes the village will receive funding approval by November. If so, target date for com­ pletion of the park will be within two years of the time the grant is received.

Main, Vermontville Spiral high school. His concern was mainly related to thelowering of a student’s grade because of an unexcused absence in a class. After a general discussion of this matter, the board members voted to accept the action as defenable and that the grade will not be changed. However, the general action taken will be reviewed within thirty days with the teaching staff to make the working more acceptable for the 1978-79 school year. General revisions were approved in the student handbook for the Jr-Sr. high school students. Personal days for seniors will be allowed in the amount of three days per school year and the juniors will receive two days per school year which will not be counted as un excused abscenses, but till be for absences other than illness or unusual cir­ cumstances at home. It is the students responsibility to bring a note at least one day prior to the time the personal day is to be taken. The student will be allowed to make up work he has'missed with full credit, providing it is nott a final examination. The teacher has full authority, with approval of the principal, to determine the length of time allowed for make-up work. A revision was also approved relative to tardiness. Students who are tardy to a class two times during a semester will be given one detention by the individual classroom teacher. A detention will be given for each ad­ ditional tardy up until the time a student accumulates four. On the fourth tardy the student will be suspended from classes until a conference is held with his or her parents. Any physical display of affection, other than holding hands will be classified as in poor taste and unacceptable behavior. Couples will receive one warning relative to their behavior. If the teacher or employee sees the same couple again repeating similar behavior, the couple will be taken to the principal’s office and suspended from school. An addition to the handbook includes the policy that the forgety of notes for absenteeism, hall passes, etc., will result in disciplinary action being taken. Sandra Cristie was approved by the board members as the new secretary at the Jr-Sr. high school. After a general discussion, it was the consensus of opinion that a custodian be empolyed if the perormers with the tent show were to use the locker rooms and restrooms in the JrSr. high school. General fund bills in the amount of $37,440.83 were ap­ proved for payment. The July 14th. payroll in the amount of $12,820.56, July 28th. payroll in the amount of $13,015.71, and the August 11th. payroll in the amount of $11,775.16 were approved for payment and transfer to the payrollaccount.

Mrs. Anna Lindberg was honored on her 90th bir­ thday, Sunday, August 13, with a surprise birthday party at the home of her son and daughter-in-law, Bill and Marge Lindberg, of rural Lake Odessa. The party was preceded with a special Norweigian dinner of which she is particularly fond. Attending the surprise ’ party in the afternoon were her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Lind­ berg of Lacey and her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Frith of Vermontville.

Mr. Frank Palmer who has a week end Flea Market in Charlotte at the corner of Lovett and Pearl streets gave the program. This building has quite a history. It was originally used for the manufacture of buggies and in 1904 con­ verted to manufacture of Dolson automobile until 1907 when bankruptcy terminated the business. Mr. Palmer has been doing extensive research on this car as he thinks 500 were made. He had a picture of one in a Museum in Penn­ sylvania. After 1907 the Duplex Power Car Company bought the plant and made 4 wheel drive trucks-first one rolled out the door in 1909. The plant later moved to Lansing and Duplex trucks are still being built in Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Palmer jokingly said that because of this Dolson car in early Charlotte history we might have become an automobile center like Detroit. , Vermontville was for­ tunate to escape the full force of the vicious storm that swept through lower Michigan early Saturday morning. Leta Nagle and I visited Mrs. Della Welshon . and Lena Earl on Gidner Road Saturday afternoon and noticed several large trees uprooted and trunks- broken on Packard Highway.

Vol. 104 No. 68, Wednesday August 30, 1978 Council debates request for SDM License by Susan Hinckley Nashville village officials were advised at last Thur­ sday’s council meeting that the Michigan Liquor Control Commission has received an application for an SDM license by Katz-Davis Oil Company for the Marathon Station located at 416 North Main street. The self-service gas station, managed by Joseph Bouchard of Nash­ ville, currently sells a limited grocery line and is seeking the permit to allow sale of beer and wine, less than 16 percent alcohol content, for take-out (offpremises consumption only). The liquor commission asked the council to advise them if any local statuatory or ordinance requirements would affect approval of the application. Various opinions on the permit were expressed by several Councilmen. Some objected on personal grounds; other cited the number of SDM licenses already existing in the Nashville man's antique on display in Hastings A 1920 Dodge Touring Car, owned by Russ Furlong of Nashville, is on display at Bushong Motor Sales in Hastings. Shown looking , over the vehicle are Bill Bushong, owner of the business, and Paul Johnson (seated), salesman. Bushong plans to leave the car on display for several weeks. This 1920 Dodge is one of five antique cars owned by Furlong. (Maple Valley News photo) village. Some felt that since the decision was up to the liquor commission, not the council, local officials should not attempt to discourage new business in Nashville. President Harold Christiansen finally ended the debate by saying the matter would be referred to Police Chief Kendal Wilcox and Zoning Administrator Charles Andrus, Jr. to check the respective statuatory and ordinance regulations for the village. In other business, the council opened two sealed bids on a narrow strip of village-owned land next to the Cleveland Street garage. An adjoining homeowner had sought possession. Only adjacent property owners were eligible to bid on the landlocked tract, according to local zoning ordinances. A high bid of $501 was received but the council tabled further action pending the return of Tim Smith, Director of Public Service and Safety, who has been on vacation. Smith had handled the matter for the council and a legal description of the lot was needed to act on the bids. Councilman Ted Spoelstra, head of the Finance Com­ mittee, announced an up­ coming meeting he has called to determine financial means of the village to maintain a third police of­ ficer if CETA funds are cut in September. The com- mittee is awaiting current budget figures from the village clerk before making recommendations to the council. Officer Art Long is em­ ployed under the CETA Title VI program for Public Service Employees which is in danger of being “slashed”, according to correspondence read by Village Clerk Suzy Corkwell. The letter advised the council that funds mav be continued “but probably at a reduced level”. Councilman Bill Hecker, head of the Police Com­ mittee, said he had called the CETA office but was told that “there was no way they could provide information on the CETA funding before September 28th”. Long’s current program expires on September 30th and Hecker expressed concern about the short notice. He said, however, that Officer Long had been advised of the situation and understood. An Oshtemo firm, retained by the village last fall to compile all local ordinances in an indexed book system for easy reference, sent a letter to the council repor­ ting that their equipment had broken down and was under repair. The company said they expect Nashville’s book to be completed soon but gave no specific date for submitting printed copies to the council for approval.

Nashville Police Officer Gene Koetje was called to a local bar early Sunday evening, August 20th, on a disturbance call. A disorderly person, who left the scene when police arrived, necessitated the call. Officer Art Long, assisted by Chief Wilcox in the backup unit, responded to an alarm call at the pharmacy last Monday evening about 9:00 p.m. Nothing was found amiss when the officers arrived at the store and searched the premises. The following night, also shortly after 9:00 p.m., Officer Long, again with Chief Wilcox assisting in the backup unit, responded to a reported attempted breaking and entering at a State Street residence.

DRUNK DRIVING - Police may now arrest a person, without a warrant, if that person was driving a car involved in a traffic accident, and the officer has cause to believe they were under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

SCHOOL STATS • During the 1977-78 school year, Michigan voters approved about 60 percent of all school millage issues. This is similar to the recent past, but down 20 per­ cent from 1973. Nearly 80 percent of all millage renewals won, but only about a third of the increases did. BRIDGE MONEY - Mackinac Bridge revenues and traffic were the highest in July than for any month since the bridge opened in 1957. Over 452,000 vehicles crossed the Bridge, paying some $790,000; total traffic and revenues for the year are up about 2 percent over 1977. NO RABIES - A 1953 law requiring statewide rabies vac­ cination of dogs ha$ worked so well that the last confirmed case of canine rabies in Michigan was in 1973.

There are many adults in the area who have not earned a high school diploma and Jacoby says the primary reasons for not going oin back to school are because “They don’t want to suspend the effort and it (school) doesn’t fit in with their life-style”. Of those enrolled in night courses “the drop-out rate is not appreciably better or worse” than day students, he said, noting “the same factors that influence per­ sons to drop-out still seem to have the same influences on them as adults”. These factors include alllowing “an important problem of the moknent” to become an Part of Jacoby's office decor are photos of the adults excuse for quitting school as who have graduated from night school.

Whether you are a grand­ ma, grandpa, a recent high school drop-out or somewhere inbetween, it’s not too late to earn a high school diploma by attending night school. That’s been proven right here in the Maple Valley School District. One hun­ dred persons have graduated from Maple Valley’s adult education program during the past seven years com­ munity education has been available here. If you are interested in returning to school for any reason - job advancement, personal gratification, or even socialization - the man to see is Ernie Jacoby, community school director for Maple Valley. Jacoby will guide you through individual per­ sonalized counseling and scheduling tailored to your particular circumstances. He’ll tell you that classes are free for adult residents who have not received a diploma. He’ll encourage you to pursue your goals, offer helpful suggestions, Community School Director Ernie Jacoby assists Lynettejfamilton with registration proceedures for Maple Valley's adult education program. Most adults closer to earning a diploma than they think, Jacoby says. Most finish in one or two years. Credits can be earned for military service and training, previous high school credits, work experience, certified training programs, apprenticeships or college classes. requires a consistent, uninterrupted effort,’’ Jacoby says. One of the biggest reasons adults return to school is for “personal realization, another is to prepare for job advancement. For some it’s an opportunity for socializing,” Jacoby said. Many enjoy the association with other classmates and when graduation time approaches, many say they are going to miss their new friends and the classes, he reports. At Maple Valley, twothirds of the adult education participants are female and average abouf 34 years of age. The aveage age of the adult male student is in the upper 30’s bracket. The oldest adult graduate was a 64-year old Grandma several years ago. Adult graduation involves a cap and gown ceremony and is usually held on the fourth Thursday of May. “It’s a very memorable occasion and one of the most gratifying experiences of my job,” Jacoby says. A good attendance record is essential while enrolled in adult education program. When several class sessions are missed, “it’s almost impossible to make-up because each class period represents about a week’s work. It’s not easy lor them (adult students) to accept and understand that,” Jacoby said. Registration for adult high school completion courses begins August 28 at the Junior-Senior High School office, but participants may pre-register by phone. Classes begin September 11 and continue for 17 weeks, ending on January 18. The second semester starts January 24 and concludes May 24. Each class meets once a week from 6:30 - 10 p.m. in the east wing of the Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High. There are not classes during regular school calendar vactions or school closing periods. The Christmas break is from December 21 January 1, with school resuming on the second day of the new year. . Classes offered on Monday during the fall semester are U.S. history, typing, and current events (national and international). Tuesday’s offerings are basic English and advanced English. Class size in the credit courses ranges from eight to 15-20 students, and Jacoby says the small class allows for teachers to give in­ dividualized attention to students, who seem to enjoy that type of rapport with instructors. Credit course offerings are just one aspect of com­ munity education. Enrich­ ment classes in special in­ terests and skills are also offered to adults. These classes start the week of October 9 and a small fee is changes. Classes include small engine repair, cake decorating, country pain­ ting, sewing with knits, square dancing, and a number of others. A new offering this year is a course in furniture refinishing. Enrichment classes don’t count as credit toward a diploma. For the first time a series of informal parent ef­ fectiveness sessions will be held in the Jr.-Sr. High School from 7-9 p.m. Thursday. These sessions will be geared to help young parents “understand themselves and their children,” Jacoby said, adding that “many feel a need for that kind of help”. As “a convenience and service” to area residents, two post secondary (graduate credit courses) will be offered this fall through the community education program. Beginning September 25 from 4-7 p.m. each Monday Michigan State University will conduct a workship in education: “Learning Experiences Outdoors”^ Starting September 6 from 7­ 10:10 p.m. each Wednesday Kellogg Community College will offer a class called ‘‘Introduction to Psychology.” The college and university charge a fee per credit hour, but Jacoby says the local school system doesn’t profit from it. Maple Valley’s community school program offers something to just about every age group. There’s even pre-school story hour for youngsters 4M> to six. Home economics students serve as helpers and Jacoby calls the story hour valuable for pre-schooler* because it helps them “learn to live with their peers (learn socializion skills), and develop listening, playing, sharing, and eating skills.” Organized recreation for men, women, boys, and girls also is part of the community education program. “We try to make it better every year,” says Jacoby. Participants in the summer softball and baseball programs number about 700. This winter volleyball and basketball will be part of the format. Each year about 100 are involved in credit classes which may also be taken for enrichment and about 150 participate in the leisure time (enrichment) classes. “One problem I constantly face is the decision of which class to hold and which not to.” Jacoby, of the high school completion program. “I’m almost forced by practicality to offer basic core courses (English, history, etc.). Wecan’toffer the frills like the day program has,” he said. However, he tries to in­ clude typing, or shorthand or accounting once each semester. He said the typing class is well received because it has so many application! for student who may just be taking it as a refresher or for job op­ portunities, or for personal gratification. “It’s an interesting mix: some beginners and other who are just rusty.” In planning the community school offerings, Jacoby says he tries “to say on top of the interests” by personally contacting individuals and organizations and by “listening to what he hears.” A survey also can be a useful tool providing its value isn’t overemphasized because most reflect only a small percentage of the population, he said. The Community Schools Advisory Council meetings are an opportunity for citizens to participate and. exchange ideas to benefit the program and help insure its success. The next meeting of the council is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Thursday, August 31 in the Jr.-Sr. High School Conference Room and all interested members of the district are imnted.

A letter received by the village council from Justin Cooley cited his opposition to construction of a boat dock near Putnam Park. An above-dam dock is. part of Yarger-Todd exchange wedding vows Robyn Rae Yarger became the bride of Rodney Lee Todd on Saturday, July 29, 1978, at the Nashville United Methodist Church. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas E. Yarger of Nashville, and the bridegroom is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard C. Todd of Vermontville. Performing the double-ring ceremony was Galen B. Watterson, minister of the Charlotte Church of Christ, of which the bridal couple are members. He was assisted by Rev. Leonard Putnam, minister of the Nashville United Methodist Church. The bride, given in marriage by her father, wore a white gown of organza over taffeta, with a fitted bodice. The gown featured a standup lace collar and floral appliques, with short, layered, ruffled sleeves. The train was bordered with a lace ruffle. Her elbow length veil, edged in floral appliques, was attached to a Juliet cap. The bride also wore white wristlet gloves. The bride carried a bouquet of white baby mums, pink sweetheart roses and baby's breath. Attending the bride was maid of honor Kimberly Jo Zemke. Bridesmaids were Jamie Yarger and Rosemary Lautzenheiser. Best man was Richard Todd. Groomsmen were Wayne Simpson and Russ Hodgman. Seating the guests were David Downing and Doug Lautzenheiser. Following the ceremony a reception was held in the church community house. Special guests were Mrs. Dorothy Yarger, greatgrandmother of the bride; Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Yarger, grandparents of the bride; Mr. and Mrs. Robert Todd and Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Downs, grandparents of the groom; and Mr. and Mrs. Chris Yarger, cousin of the bride. Following a honeymoon in Northern Michigan the couple will make their home at 6211 Willow Hwy., Lansing. the proposal plan for the project, which also includes a dock and boat ramp west of the Main Street stores, two softball diamonds, a paved parking area, and rejuvenation of an old tennis court, near the old Nashville ballfield. Cooley expressed concern about what he called the “danger of a detrimental effect to the natural vegetation that controls erosion” in the area slated for the upriver dock. Village President Harold Christian said “railroad tie steps, built into the bank, will not disturb vegetation”. The proposed site for the dock is on a village-owned strip of land north of the river, adjacent to Philadelphia Street, at the southern edge of Putnam Park. Councilman Bill Hecker concurred with Christiansen, pointing out that “steps would, in fact, help prevent erosion where younsters are now sliding up and down the bank to the river”. The village is seeking the grant funds under the Land and Water Conservation Act and must use the monies received in recreational andor conservation projects. Nashville must match funds received under the federal program, administered by Michigan’s Department of Natural Resources, but donations of labor, materials and equipment will count as payment of the village’s portion of the total project.

Gibson, Auto remains a serious problem Club’s Safety and Traffic due to the combination of Engineering manager. careless motorists and Gibson pointed to children unpredictable students, crossing streets at mid-block according to Automobile as the cause of more than Club of Michigan. two-thirds of the 2,090 child “Ninety-nine percent of pedestrian injury and the injuries and fatalities fatality accidents last year, NINETY-NINE PERCENT of injury and fatality acci­ dents involving school-age youngsters in Michigan occur at areas not patrolled by safety patrollers, adult crossing guards or police officers. To remind motorists of the dangers posed by children darting into the street, Automobile Club of Michigan begins its 32nd consecu­ tive "School's Open - Drive Carefully" statewide cam­ paign to cut traffic injuries and deaths. Last year, 64 pedestrians and 27 bicyclists aged 5 to 14 were killed in traffic. More than two-thirds of those mishaps happed at mid-block, with many of the children darting into the path of oncoming traffic. Motorists can pick up "School's Open" bumper stickers at any of Auto Club's 55 Michigan offices. while carelessness con­ tributed to at least 75 percent of the 2,077 injury and death accidents involving young bicyclists. Through its “School’s Open--Drive Carefully” campaign-now in its 32nd year-Auto Club promotes the importance of traffic safety to motorists, parents and students during the school year. “This year we are em­ phasizing the importance of having youngsters, especially the 154,000 kin­ dergarteners attending classes for the first time, cross streets only at designated school crossings. “It is essential that parents make children aware of the dangers of crossing streets or riding bikes without proper safety precautions,” warned Gibson. “The fact that the 27 student bicycle deaths and 64 pedestrian deaths in 1977 were the lowest and second lowest fatality counts, respectively, in the last 10 years in Michigan indicates motorists are becoming more aware of school children,” Gibson said. “However, the inattentive motorist who drives too fast for conditions still is a major threat to the safety of young pedestrians and bicyclists," he explained. Besides conducting yearly seminars for safety patrol directors in 2,800 Michigan schools, Auto Club is holding eight statewide adult crossing guard workshops for law enforcement officials representing 305 Michigan cities. Purpose of the workshops is to comply with a new state requirement that^all adult crossing guards receive four hours of training and two hours of annual review from local police in traffic control. Gibson also pointed out that since Auto Club initiated its school safety patrol program in 1919, traffic deaths involving school-age youngsters have declined from 320 to 91 last year. Auto Club suggests that parents teach children these simple rules for walking or riding bicycles to school: -Walk only on the sidewalk. If there is none, walk facing traffic’ on the shoulder of the road. -Cross only at designated school crossings. -Look all ways before crossing and walk instead of run across streets. -Obey safety patrol or crossing guards. Motorists are reminded to be extra cautious in school areas and to drive at a reduced speed. Drivers also should be alert for children darting into the streets from driveways or between parked cars and should watch out for students when turning right on a red traffic signal.

William J. Meyer, the agency’s supervisor for Barry County, reports that FmHA is prepared to take applications at its Barry County Office in Hastings. Economic Emergency loans are authorized under the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978 signed by President Carter August 4. They offer special help to farmers who are hard-pressed by recent shortage of credit from their regular lenders, or by debts accumulated during the recent period of low farm prices. Mr. Meyer said the Economic Emergency loan program was enacted by ' MICHIGAN: Larger soybean, dry bean, apple, and grape crops are forecast for Michigan by the Michigan Crop Reporting Service based on August 1 conditions. Sugarbeet and corn prospects are good. July began with mostly adequate soil moisture, but a dry month soon depleted supplies across 'the State. Some areas received in­ termittent rain, but this only postponed potential drought damage as reports of rolling corn and wilting soybeans continued to be heard. Farmers with irrigation systems made full use of them. Even though many areas are still clinging to adequate moisture supplies, pasture conditions continue to decline over most of the State with the northern and eastern Lower Peninsula the showing shortest pasture.

The 545,000 acres for harvest is up 65,000 acres from last year. Late plan­ tings coupled with dry weather has set plant growth behind normal, but cool temperatures have been favorable for pod formation. The yield forecast of 11.0 cwt. compares with yields of 11.5 cwt. obtained in 1977 and 10.0 cwt. for 1976. SOYBEANS: The 1978 soybean crop is forecast at a record 21.1 million bushels, up 1 percent from last year’s crop and up 82 percent from the poor 1976 crop. The State average yield of 26 bushels per acre is down 10 percent from last year’s record,' but a 13 percent increase in acres for harvest more than offsets the decreased yield. CORN: August 1 con­ ditions indicate Michigan’s corn for grain production will be 176,300,000 bushels. This is a 5 percent increase from last month’s forecast, but remains below the 1977 record crop by 8 percent..

If you’re planning to move to another home, now’s the time to think about how many phones you migtft need in your new home and what kind of changes you might need in your phone service. A little planning can help you avoid unnecessary installation charges. Call your Michigan Bell Service Representative. Allow enough time before moving for a full explanation of service and equipment options and time to order the phone service you need when you need it. Remember, once your new service is installed, extra visits by your installer mean extra expenses for you, expenses we’d rather you didn’t have to pay.

It will and must be held this week, even though there is only one person running.

The Robert Brumms flew on to Pennsylvania to visit her relatives there before returning to Texas. Robert Mason of Gladwin, son of Ben Mason of Nashville, sustained a serious eye injury last week and has been hospitalized at Midland Hospital with damaged retina. However, it is thought at this time he will not lose any sight in the eye. An unusual mission added an interesting sidelight to a recent three-week trip through the west by Mr. and Mrs. Norman E. (Nyla) Stanton. A knife, said to have scalped the son of Sitting Bull during the 1876 Rosebud expedition of the Battle of Little Bighorn, was delivered by the Stantons for display at a museum in Bozeman, Montana. The knife, and other memorablia of the area, were donated by Norman’s cousin, Mrs. Harold Macheiher of Battle Creek. John An­ derson, a black U.S. Cavalryman engaged in the conflict, had given the knife to Mrs. Machemer’s late husband after the two men became friends while working on a ranch in the west many years ago. Among numerous other highlights of the Stanton’s trip were visits to Mt. Rushmore, the Badland, Custer’s Bat­ tlefield and National Cemetary, Yellowstone National Park (where they have relatives in the park service), the Teton Mountains, Chet Huntley’s Big Sky ski resort, and Sun Valley. At Glacier National Park, the Stantons were caught in a sudden snowstorm. Salt Lake City provided an unusual privilege when they were able to hear the Morman Taber­ nacle Choir perform at a funeral service for an Apostle of the Church. The services, which were open to the public, were also attended by the Governor of Utah. The amana Colonies, a Swiss-German settlement in Iowa, were also enjoyed by the Stantons on a journey which took them as far .west as Oregon and Washington. Responding to a report of a smoke alarm going off at Mead-O-Acres Mobile Home Park, the Nashville Fire Department found nothing amiss when they arrived on the scene at 7:30 p.m. Friday, August 25th. A resident had heard the alarm ringing in a neighboring trailer. The occupants were not at home and the trailer was locked. After establishing that it was a false alarm by the smoke detector, the Nashville firemen returned to the village. New members recently uniting with the Nashville United Methodist Church in ceremonies at the church were: Mr. and Mrs. Dean (Ruth) Good; Mrs. William (Sheri) Reynolds; Mrs. Myrtle Graham; and Mrs. Larry (Jeanne) Brandt. Inspired by the marathon race from Charlton Park to Hastings during a recent festival there, Mrs. Tom (Beverly) Oleson of Nashville has offered to organize a similar race for Nashville’ Harvest Festival. She presented her ideas to the RRDC, sponsors of the October festivities, at a special meeting of the group last Wednesday evening. Given the goahead by the organization, Bev is currently working on an acceptable, low-traffic course of approximately five or six miles. Tentative plans have set the race for Saturday morning, October 7th, between 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. Further details will be furnished in the Maple Valley News when arrangements for the marathon are finalized. The Nashville United Methodist Women will meet at the. church at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 7th. The Nashville United Methodist Men’s Breadkfast will be heldat7:30a.m. Sunday, September 10th, at the Community House, preceeding morning Worship Service.

Renovation of oU pump house progressing Nashville village president Harold Christiansen wears many hats. In the photo, he is shown laying brick to seal the space which was formerly a glass window at the old pump house in Putnam Park. The pump house once housed a steam engine which used to pump water to the village. The project at the pump house is part of the renovation work being done at Putnam Park, funded by a $1,300 grant and $6,000 left from the centenial celebration in 1969. As caretaker of the park, Christiansen plays an active role in refurbishing the pump house, which will be converted to a community room. Christiansen said he hopes to build a fireplace in the building this winter. The building also will have renovated kitchen facilities and serve as the park office. The target date for completion has been set for a year from now. ■ Christiansen, who has been involved with scouts for many years, said the building is used by the scouts as a glass and paper recycling station. Because of extensive window damage at the pump house, Christiansen said it will be cheaper in the long run to seal the window openings with brick and pay for electricity to light the interior of the building rather than continue to replace broken windows which cost about $57 each.

Nashville residents will soon* enjoy more spacious facilities at village meetings. Action at last Wednesday evening’s Castleton Township Board meeting authorized the move of all future village meetings into the new quarters at the township hall located on South Main Street. The first village meeting to be held in the - newlyexpanded township hall will be the upcoming council meeting, Thursday, Sep­ tember 14th. Justin Cooley, Castleton Township Supervisor, said at Wednesday’s meeting that he would draw up a formal written aggeement between the township and village but the township board members voted unanimous approval to allow the village immediate use of the building. Four regularly scheduled monthly village meetings will be held in the new facilities. They are: Plan­ ning and Zoning Commission-the first Tuesday; Zoning Board of Appeals-the third Thursday; and the Village Council-ther second and fourth Thursday. Preliminary negotiations between the two govern­ mental units for use of the facilities by the village began in July when Village President Harold Christiansen appointed Councilmen Ted Spoelstra and Tom Oleson to meet with the township board at their August 2nd meeting to discuss the proposal. Cramped conditions at village meetings promted the initial suggestion.

The Grand A’s are antique car owners who drive model A’s and hail from the Grand Rapids area. They included a stop in Vermontville during their weekend tour to have the opportunity to see a steam engine in operation and Faust graciously obliged. Faust is the owner of the steam engine which is on display in his yard at 600 S. Main St. He bought the engine several years ago for nostalgic reasons. He said he use to “run them” when he was a kid and then worked around them for Michigan Central around 1922-24. “I’ve got steam in my blood,” laughs Faust. He estimates that his steam engine was manufactured about 1918 and^t burns both wood and coal. He said he usually has to start the fire about 60-75 minutes before he plans to demonstrate it in operation. And for the modern generation who might not be familiar with the versatility of such a steam engine, Faust explained that it could be used to thrash grain or beans, husk corn, fill silos, or plow a large field. Quite often the machine was used at sawmills too, he said. Ten vehicles of 1929-31 Photos and story by Elaine Gilbert Members of the Grand A’s enjoyed seeing Lloyd Faust's steam traction engine in operation during their stop in Vermontville. (Maple Valley News Photos) A glance down Main Street in Vermontville Saturday appeared to be a scene from the late 1920’s and early 30's. Actually the parade type-line up of Model A cars was a group from the Grand Rapids antique car dub. The Grand A’s, who stopped in Vermontville as part of a weekend tour. 7 vintage were in the group who were part of Saturday’s tour. Included among the antique cars to stop here were a Woodie, a roadster with a rumble seat, and a Phayon. After leaving Ver­ montville, the Grand A’s planned to continue their tour, stopping in Charlotte, Jackson, and Lansing before heading home Sunday. Richard Soest, a past president of the antique club and one of the members who helped organize the weekend tour, said the vehicles average about 40 mph when they are on the highway, but they can travel up to a speed of 65. Why do members tour the state in a Model A? "It’s cheap fun,” Soest said. He said his Model A-two door goes about 25 miles with a gallon of gas, and it has been virtually trouble free during the past 10 years that he has driven it. “I’ve put on 14,000 and never had a break­ down,” he said. �Poge 2 The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, September 13.1978 - Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley Warren Travoli and his son, James, of Nashville were among the 30,000 participants in the 21st annual Mackinac Bridge walk on Labor Day.

Parking was banned on the east side of Lentz Street, the north side of Washington from Cleveland to Lentz, and both sides of Railroad-Street last week when the DPW crew in­ stalled new “ho parking” signs. This move was ordered by the State of Michigan Act 51 which requires major streets to comply with minimum widths to qualify for state maintenance funds. Still to be posted, according to Director of Public Services and Safety Tipi Smith, is a portion of the east side of State Street. The Nashville Police car temporarily lost it’s “home” in front of village hall last week when the DPW crew installed new “no parking here to corner” signs along Main Street. The crew inadvertently posted one ahead of the reserved police parking space which, according to Chief Wilcox, superseded the “police parking only" sign. A correction of the error is expected shortly. In addition to installing parking and stop signs, the DPW crew repaired several storm drains throughout the village last week.

But that’s to be expected because Tony is a five year old Wolly monkey. Earl and Harlean Eckelbecker and their 12 year-old daughter Yvonne of 7289 E. State Road “adopted” Tony from friends who brought the monkey back from Australia. Tony has been a member of the family for the past three years and even though Harlean says, “he’s alot of work” she quickly adds that “we wouldn’t part with him for anything in the world.” Tony has become an in­ tegral part of the family. He has a special place at the table where he eats in his high chair with- family members. “He eats anything we do and enjoys it...peaches, ice cream, chicken, candy, marshmallows..,” Harlean says. His favorite food? You guessed it, it’s bananas, Harlean relates. Tony has his very own wardrobe of size two clothing which Harlean has ac-cumulated by shopping at yard and garage sales. There is even a special dressing table for Tony where Harlean dresses him and changes his diapers. His bed is an enclosed cage with a soft mattress and blanket. For recreation, Tony enjoys a variety of activities. He likes to go horseback riding, loves to ride into town in the horse-drawn wagon, swing from his tail on someone’s arm, climb the branches of a willow tree.or freely roam the yard. Tony’s very affectionate at times with members of the family and friends, but he’s also been known to have temper tantrums and to screech and scream. “He has his bottom spanked every once in awhile,” Harlean laughs. Earl says. “We have to get on him just like a little kid.” Some of Tony’s not-so-cute antics include “turning the water (faucet) on but refusing to turn it off and sometimes ripping the curtains down,” Earl said. Communication is no problem. When Tony balks, for example, at getting his pajamas on, he knows the folks mean business when they use a stern voice. And just as in any household of brothers and sisters, there’s a certain amount of sibling rivalry between Yvonne and Tony, the Eckelbeckers said. Tony “likes to take a bath, but he doesn’t like to get near a big body of water. It scares him,” Harlean said. A constant family com­ panion, Tony accompanied the Eckelbeckers on a unique vacation this summer which involved a 500 round trip in a homemade covered wagon. Yvonne, a seventh grader at Maple Valley Jr. High, made the entire trip on horseback with the . wagon. Their destination was Frederick, site of the largest horsecamp in Michigan, where they met with a group called the Modern Pioneers. During the day, they averaged five mph, slept in the covered wagon at night and did their cooking out­ doors. During the 33 day trip, the family said they only spent 10 minutes indoors, when they were invited to have coffee in someone’s home. The most impressive part of the trip was the friendliness of complete strangers who offered food ,and a place to sleep to the family.. There were also many gifts of bales of hay to feed the two Haflinger ponies which pulled the covered wagon. Basically, they travelled old M-27 from Mt. Pleasant and the Eckelbeckers, who took turns at the reins, reins, praised the cooperation they received from the Michigan State Police who offered help and assistance along the way and would warm them of upcoming storm warnings. The Eckelbeckers were inspired to make the trip by the example of a man Earl calls his foster father, Claude Reed, who is 70 years old and recently made a 130mile trip via covered wagon. Another reason, Earl said, was “I went on a challenge. People said we wouldn’t be able to get through.” However, the trip went real smooth. “There were no close calls and no cars cutting us off.” The hardest part was finding water to give the horses, but farmhouses were good spots as well as creeks and rivers. The trip took about a year of planning. The couple made the covered wagon using conduit pipes to form the curve supports to hold the canvas. Neighbors, Norma and Lyle Varney, helped make the trip possible the Eckelbeckers said because they pitched in and did the farm chores for them while they were gone. Everywhere they went along their journey, they attracted alot of attention with their pet monkey perched on top of the wagon. In one small town, a storekeeper sold 22 rolls of film during the Eckelbeckers short stay because the townspeople wanted the opportunity to snap pictures of the travellers. “It was a wonderful trip. I’d recommend that anyone try it. It was relaxing and very nice," Earl said and Harlean adds that “I’d like to go again next year.” What’s as much fun as a barrel of monkeys? Having a pet like Tony. Here he enjoys swinging from his tail on Harlean’s arm. The Eckelbecker’s arrive home after a trip to town. From left, on horseback, is Yvonne, and on the wagon are Tony, Harlean, neighbor and friend Wendy Jo Purchis, and Earl. The Eckelbeckers enjoy taking their horse drawn vehicles to parades and they were a popular addition to this year’s Vermontville Syrup celebration. Tony has his own special place at the table. Here Harlean feeds peaches to the pet monkey. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, September 13,1978 - Page 4 Vermontville little league 'all stars’ win first place in tourney The Vermontvijle All-Stars came out on top in the second annual Sunfield Jaycees’ HELP WANTED Driving experience ferred.

According to Mr. Petrosky’s predictions, if the attitude, dedication and drive exhibited at this year’s band camp is any indicator, the Maple Valley Marching Lions should be looking forward to the best season of performances they have had in years.

(Reminder Photo) Coach Ed Sampson and his tennis Lions are either gluttons for punishment or else are trying to build a tennis program by getting their lessons-and their bruises-from the best. The Tri-Central Association-of whichAthletic Maple Valley is a member-has no league for girls tennis which forces the Lions into arranging matches with bigger schools who have the team depth and school money to play expanded schedules. So in 1978, as in 19 1977, Sampson’s Lions face a lineup which includes Grand Ledge, Ionia, Lakewood, and Springfield. The first is a Class A school, the next two are thee fairnealClass aisssB a Schools, Cclaosos s,Cand anstate championship school. “We’d like to hold our own this year,” explains Sampson when speaking of seasonal goals. Last year ’s 17 mark should be improv improved. To stay competitive with Grand Ledge, Ionia, Lakewood, and Springfield would be a victory in itself for most any school. Debbie Sutfin at number one singles will lead Maple Valley into the 1978 tennis fray. Her three year varsity experience as a senior should pay off with plenty of Lion points. Behind Sutfin, Barb Harris appears to be firmly in­ stalled at number two singles. Three and four are still up for grabs but Samp- son is impressed with how close two, three, and four are. At first doubles, senior Sheryl Valdick looks to be a favorite for one spot. Debbie Secord or Debbie Steinbrecher may join Valdick although Sampson hates to break up that natural combination. Kathy Shaw, a sophomore, may fill in in­ stead with Secord and Steinbrecher forming their own number two doubles team. Sampson admits trouble at three doubles since, unlike the first two combinations, no two players have teamed up enough to form a decent doubles team. Cindy Elliston will likely find a spot somewhere in the doubles positions. Other tests for open positions will be given to Christine Shaw, Mary Brooke, Sandy Downing, Cindy Wetzel, Sue Spoelstra, Jamie Yarger, and Beth Hoffman. It may be a long season for the Lions but then David scored some big ones against Goliath once. And, with Sampson on their side, Maple Valley may be stronger than pre-season gossiping suggests.. Maple Valley’s new band director: Jeffery Petrosky Jeffery' Petrosky, a December 1977 graduate of University of Michigan, is Maple Valley's new director of bands and beginning instrumental music instructor. Although school has just begun, Petrosky is pleased with the hard-working, enthusiastic attitude of band students at Maple Valley. "The band has the potential to be a really fine musical organization," he said. During band camp, the kids gave ”110 percent. They were highly motivated and they have the enthusiasm and desire, as a group, to really go far". Petrosky said, "I hope, besides being performance oriented to work to give students experience in being well-rounded in the area of music". Since in reality, probably only a small percent will ever be professional musicians, he hopes to provide students with valuable tools in music that they can use to enjoy in their leisure time as adults. "I want to give the kids something to take with them when they're out of school," Petrosky commented. And, likewise, to the student who plans to pursue music at a more intensive level in college, he hopes to provide them with the tools they will need. Petrosky, himself, is a woodwind specialist and his main instrument is the saxophone. He cbmmented that he is very encouraged after viewing the school's drum major and is confident that he will help give leadership and direction to the band. Petrosky also said he is grateful to the Band Boosters who already have put in a tremendous amount of work this year at band camp and in fitting and issuing uniforms. Lions lose Opener, 31-8 The Maple Valley Varsity Football team dropped its season opener to Caledonia Friday, 31-8. Maple Valley took the opening kickoff back to the 32 yard line and picked up an first down before punting to Caledonia. Caledonia’s running game was shut offbut a big 32 yard pass set up the games first score. When the kick was good, the Scots led 7-0. Maple Valley roared back scoring on a four yard run by Jeff Mead and when the Lion quarterback daned into the end zone for the extra point, Maple Valley led 8-7. The game was then played evenly until the Lions com­ mitted interference on a fourth down play giving Caledonia another chance to score, which they did on a pass from eleven yards out. The fake kick was stopped but the Lions trailed 13-8 at the half. Caledonia opened the second half by scoring on a 47 yard pass play. Two bad snaps on punt attempts scored a safety and set up a field goal for Caledonia. The Scots final touch­ down was scored by a linebacker who scooped up a Maple Valley fumble and took it into the end zone. t Despite the score, there were several bright spots for the Maple Valley Footballers. Quentin Ward rushed for 86 yards in 20 carries followed by Harsbarger with 15 yards, Doug Cook, 6 yards and Darrel Clements 5 yards rushing. Don Fox and Dennis Yost caught one pass each while Ken Harsbarger caught two aerials, as Jeff Mead connected on four of twelve attempts. The Lion defense did well against the run, holding Caledonia to just 95 yards rushing. Ken Hansbarger led the team with 13 tackles followed by Andy Joostberus, with 12 tackles; Darrel Clements, 10 tackles; Doug Cook, 10 tackles; Quentin Ward, seven tackles; and Kevin Kilpatrick, five tackles.

Junior varsity basketball team graduates who move up to this -year’s varsity squad can look over their shoulder-they’re being followed. Last year’s junior varsity coach, Jerry Reese is graduating to the varsity along with his team and he can’t wait to get started. In fact, he’s predicting a fight for the Tri-Central Athletic Association with a team that should be plenty experienced with eight returning letter-winners. “This team’s strength will be quickness,” says Reese, “our weakness will be rebounding because we’re short.” Aside from assessing strengths and weaknesses, Reese will have his hands 11 Sttf^tsidl^r! full trying to replace four graduated starters from the 1977 Lion unit. Janine Langham, Cheryl Keech, Becky Fox, and Denise Fassett will be sorely missed for their heighth and ac­ curate shooting abilities.

They will moving the ball to forwards Kaye Huges and Cinda Murphy at the forward spots. Center Kathy Kraai will balance the Lion attack. Any bid for top spot from the Lions in 1978 will likely be matched by last year’s champion Lakeview and an always strong Portland team. However, Lakeview’s loss of a center who has been the Tri-Central Athletic Association’s Most Valuable Player the last two years could be a thorn in their paw. “It will all be a matter of winning the close ones,” says Reese of the 1978 bid for the top.

September 20, 1978— Page 2 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley Carnival rides from the W. G. Wade Shows will brighten Nashville’s 1978 Harvest Festival. The Mason-based firm agreed last week to furnish several adult and childrens rides plus other attractions for the October festivities. Ray Hinckley made the initial contact with the company two weeks ago when it appeared no carnival would be available at such a late date in the season. Wade representative Bob Naismith came to Nashville last Tuesday afternoon to negotiate and sign a contract with Lois' Elliston and Suzy Corkwell of the Riverside Recreational Development Corp., sponsors of the 3-day event. The Wade Shows, well-known throughout the state, will donate a percentage of their profits during the Harvest Festival to the RRDC for development of Nashville’s community recreational park. Nashville folks making the Labor Day crossing of the Mackinac Bridge were quite numerous. In addition to the walkers listed in last week’s column were: Gayion Fisher; Don and Jeanette Joseph; Dick and Marilyn Chaffee, and son Brian; “Ed” and Edna Smith; and the Patrick Kersjes children accompanied by their aunt, Patricia Shaw, of rural Hastings. Condolences are extended to the family of Mrs. Bessie Decker of Nashville, widow of Clayton, who passed away September nth at the Barry County Medical Care Facility following a lengthy illness. Parade entrants are being sought by Suzy Corkwell, who is responsible for organizing the 1978 Harvest Festival­ Homecoming Parade. All sorts of entries are needed and welcome. Suzy can be contacted at the Nashville Village Hall or at home.

With official appointment of these three by President Christiansen the seven-member board will again be at full­ strength.

Group Insurance Company of Michigan �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, September 20, 1978 - Page 6 Rep. Don Gilmer leads lively discussion on state ballot proposals at Nashville Chamber meeting Wednesday by Susan Hinckley Michigan’s eleven ballot proposals set for November’s general election received a “trial run” last Wednesday when State Rep. Donald H. Gilmer (RAugusta) of the 55th District gave the Nashville Chamber of Commerce an opportunity to express their opinions on the various issues. Gilmer, who addressed the group at their regular dinner meeting at the Steakhouse Restaurant, furnished data on each issue along with a “yes” and “no” answer sheet for the convenience of the audience to make a decision after reviewing each proposal. “We have never had eleven issues on the ballot at one time before”, said Gilmer, “People are going to have to force themselves to become informed”. The subjects covered by the eleven proposals include tax limitation and cuts, limited parole, denial of bail, raising the drinking age, collective bargaining for state police, investment of state funds, rewriting the ^state constitution, and changing the name of the State Highway Commission. A lively discussion ensued on all topics, but the tax issues were the most popular. Gilmer, who said he “firmly believes we are in a tax revolt”, favors the Headlee proposal to prevent taxes from rising faster than personal income. He said that tax limitation would “put some responsibility back on the state government to more closely review spending programs”. One provision of the Headlee proposal prohibits the state from new mandating programs without sending funds along to cover the expense. Gilmer said he opposes the Tisch Tax Cut proposal because, although local property taxes would be lowered, there are no con­ trols on state spending in the “Our Tisch program. J&J LAUNDRY 138 S.

Meandmy schools and local govern­ ment would become more dependent on the state for support and, since there are no limits at the state level, personal income taxes and other state taxes could triple to make up for lost revenue”. A third tax proposal, the School Voucher Plan, would completely remove property taxes from financing education, Gilmer ex­ plained, and require the state to replace all lost revenue by increasing personal income taxes and single business tax. “ Most • likely parents will be given certificates for each child that may be used at either a public or private school”, said Gilmer. He estimates it would cost the state an additional $225 million to fund this program to include private and church schools. The Chamber was also addressed by Hastings at­ torney John Huntley who is seeking election to the newly-created post of 56th District Court Judge for Barry County. “Since the District Court is the court to which the average citizen first goes for relief, or punishment^ it is a very important one”, Huntley told the audience. He explained that District-Court handles all civil damage claims for $10,000 or under; has jurisdiction over landlord and tenant laws, illegal possession of real estate, and 16 oz.

District Court, he added, is responsible for authorizing search, and arrest, warrants; all criminal defendants are brought first to District Court to have bond set; and in felony cases, District Court conducts the preliminary examination to determine if there is enough evidence to bind a defendant over to Circuit Court for trial. “The District Court is the court in which all misdemeanor cases are tried”, Huntley explained, “A misdemeanor is any crime for which the penalty Maple Valley School LUNCH MENU Monday, Sept. 25 Hamburgers, French Fries, Corn, Fresh Apple, Milk.

Maple Valley News Photos) Maple Valley’s girls basketball team has begun their new season on the winning side by disposing of their first two opponents Bellevue and Middleville. Bellevue fell 24-47 before a stronger Valley team on Tuesday night at Bellevue. Led by an agressive defense the Valley girls were able to build an impressive 24-10 half-time lead. Strong rebounding by Cinda Mur­ phy with 8 and Kathy Christopher with 7 helped build the lead. Tuesday Aspinall led all scores with 15. Teammate Julie Barlow of M.V. added 11 points. A determined effort by the strong Lion bench made this victory possible. The Lion victory over Middleville on Thursday was again the effort of the entire team. Though the home team trailed Middleville 9-10 at the end of the first quarter, they were able to leave for the lockerroom at the half ahead 23-19. The third quarter was all Valley as Tuesday Aprinall, Julie Barlow, Carmaine Janousek, Cathy Kraai, and Cinda Murphy used an ef­ fective press to cause the visiting Trojans problems. Middleville turnovers allowed the Lion girls to build a 33-21 point lead. But the visitors refused to let go. Foul trouble plagued the Lionettes and Middleville outscored their hosts 9-1 at the free throw line and were able to tie the score with 1:41 left to play. Kathy Christopher broke the deadlock at 44-42: Julie Barlow stole the ball from the Trojans and was fouled as she attempted a layup, but was unable to convert her free-throws. With 30 seconds remaining the Lions Carmaine Janousek scored off an in­ bound pass from Tuesday Aspinall to ice the game 46­ 43. Cinda Murphy again led the rebounding with 9. Dixie Williams pulled in 8. Kim Cisler of Middleville led all scorers with ■ 19. Tuesday Apsinall of the Lions scored 16 pints for the winners. Also seeing action for M.V. were Deane Cook, Kaye Hughes, Cathy Kraai, and Joyce Warner. Coach Reese has com­ mented that their squad is exciting to watch. The girls must learn position defense without fouling and cut down on the number of turnovers if they are to continue their winning ways.

Maple Valley’s defense stiffened but Lakeview finally scored on 4th down from 3 yards out. Lakeview led 13-0 at the half. Maple Valley looked like they would take command in the second half. After receiving the kickoff, the Lions marched into the end zone with Quentin Ward bursting the final 26 yards over right tackle Andy Joostberns only to have the play nullified by a penalty. The Lions then held Lakeview to three downs and blocked the punt on a good play by Darrel Clements, and Jeff Mead recovered the ball on the Lakeview 3 yard line.

LABOR DIRECTOR OPPOSES C.E.T.A. CHANGES Michigan’s Labor Department Director, Patrick Babcock, urged our Congressional delegation to oppose proposed amendments to C.E.T.A. programs that could jeopardize up to 19,000 jobs in the state. The proposed amendments would reduce public service employment by $1 billion and limit the amount an employer may supplement C.E.T.A. wages. BALLOT HOMEWORK - There will be eleven statewide proposals on this fall’s ballot, the most in recent history. Six of them, including three tax proposals, qualified for the ballot by petition drives; four of them qualified through legislative action; and Proposal A, on the question of calling a constitutional convention, is mandated by the present constitution. WASTE DISPOSAL - The House has begun work on HB 4804, which would authorize the DNR to establish a toxic waste disposal site. This facility would not only dispose of toxic wastes but also conduct research. The big question is where to locate such a program.

Milliken announced Thursday that an agreement has been reached which will help establish the first Black-owned railway in the nation. An agreement was signed in Milliken’s office between officers of the Kent-BarryEaton Connecting Railway (KBE) and the Michigan Department of State Highways and Transportation. The department will recommend to the Highway Commission next week thatt it enter into a contract with KBE to operate the 41.7-mile rail line between Grand Rapids and Vermontville. The agreement must be signed before the contract can be entered into. The rail line, now run by Conrail, receives a state subsidy. KBE will outline to the state its long-range plans to eliminate the need for its $310,000 annual subsidy by turning the line into a profit­ making enterprise. The line, winch serves an agricultural area, plans first to lease special rail cars to accommodate grain ship­ pers. Conrail, state officials have noted, has made no special efforts to maintain business or market the service. The new owners have planned an aggressive marketing program. KBE owners, who have received pledges of support from the Minority Businfess Enterprise Center in Washington, will provide the state with a five-year plan for getting off the subsidy, show that they have sufficient capitalization to cover start-up costs and will engage a management and operations consultant. “It is regrettable but true that minorities have traditionally been excluded from railroad management,” Milliken said. “I am pleased that we in Michigan are in a position to break with that tradition and extend the state’s af­ firmative action policies to our highly successful rail freight subsidy program.” Participating in the signing ceremony were Calvin Shelton, president of Kent-Barry-Eaton Con­ necting Railway; Mrs. Jean Mitchell, vice president for public relations; Samuel Brooks, vice president and treasurer, Robert Pitts, general manager; Hannes Meyers, Jr., member of the Michigan State Highway Commission and James Kellogg, deputy director of the Department of State Highways and Tran­ sportation.

The festivals were later resumed but discon­ tinued again in the 1960’s. Last October the RRDC made the first attempt to reinstate the annual event in an effort to raise funds for development of a community recreational park adjacent to the Thornapple River in the downtown business district. “This is our largest fund­ raising project; our greatest effort”, Mrs. McLean added, “We hope all of Nashville will join in the fun, not only to raise funds for the project, but also for enjoyment’’.

September 27,1978 - Page 2 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley A replica of a local 1887 church and an early-1900's hip roof barn were donated to Putnam Public Library last week by Rev and Mrs. E.F Rhoades of Nashville. The miniature buildings, constructed in half-inch scale by Rev. Rhoades, will be displayed in the Michigan and Local History Room at the library. Rev. Rhoades once pastured the South Maple Grove United Methodist Church (formerly Zion Evangelical United Brethern) after which the church replica is pat­ terned He served the congregation there from 1927 until 1938, left to pastor elsewhere in Michigan, and returned in 1958, where he remained until his retirement. Also included in the donation was a third structure-a skeletal framework of a hip roof barn revealing early construction techniques. Rev. Rhoades, whose woodworking talents produced pulpits and communion tables for use in his churches throughout his service, said he built the replicas in 1975 to “preserve something of the past, showing how buildings were con­ structed nearly 100 years ago”. While ten lovely Ladies recently competed by canister votes for the title of Nashville Harvest Queen, one canister was set out to collect penny votes for a Harvest King candidate-Lary Matson. Placed as a joke at Lary’s place of employement, the Nashville Hardware, he did manage to collect a few votes which were, in the final tally, credited to the store’s Queen Candidate-Cheryl Barton. All proceeds of the canister collections were turned over to the Riverside Recreational Development Corp, to help construct a com­ munity recreational park west of the Main Street stores. Visiting last week at the home of Mrs. Adah Steele of Nashville was a friend, Mrs. Mildred Newberg, of Lakeland, Florida. Mrs. Newberg spends a few days each summer with Mrs. Steele and also visits relatives in the Battle Creek area.

The Builders Sunday School Class of the United Methodist Church will meet at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Juston Cooley on Wednesday, September 27th, at 8:00 p.m. for a devotional and social gathering. Praise for quick action in a critical situation goes to Dave Ackett of Nashville who was first on the scene of a serious auto crash on E. State Road, just west of M-66 last Thursday evening. A mother and three children from the Tillotson Lake area were involved in the collision which occured when the mother reportedly turned her head to check on the children in the back seat. The eastbound auto went off the shoulder and struck a tree. Officer Gene Koetje responded to the call and the Nashville ambulance was summoned to transport a one-year-old child to Pennock Hospital. The baby was later transferred to Sparrow Hospital in Lansing and, at this writing, is reported in serious condition. The Vermontville ambulance assisted, taking the mother and two other children in for treatment. A daughter, about 10, suffered facial lacerations but the others were apparently not seriously hurt. The Barry County Sheriff’s Department arrived later. Local authorities credit Ackett for his assistance and rapid response at the scene. Mrs. Selma Bivens ofNashville entertained the U-Snare-It Club for their first meeting of the fall season at a 1:00 p.m. dessert luncheon on Friday, September 15th.

Mrs. Hilda Baas and Mrs. Reva Schantz attended the fall workshop of the Area III MARSP (Michigan Association of Retired School Personnel) at the Holiday Inn on Crosstown in Kalamazoo on Friday, September 15th. The meeting was very informative about services and activities of the MEA, MARSP, the NRTA, and AARP (American Association of Retired Persons), which works closely with the NRTA. Clara Sinclair, President of MARSP, gave a very interesting talk on pending legislation affecting MARSP and concluded with a good “pep talk” on keeping active. A delicious lun­ cheon was enjoyed at noon and members found the meeting most worthwhile.

Any readers who have ever wished they could do volunteer work on behalf of the local library will be interested in in­ formation recently received by Librarian La Duska Sheldon on “Friends of the Library” groups throughout the state. The material, furnished by the Michigan Department of Education State Library Services, provides a- sample of bylaws for such organizations and lists various public libraries in Michigan that presently enjoy help from these groups. An interesting feature in the list is the many projects, undertaken by the “Friends of the Library”, ranging from cleaning the premises to assisting with reading programs, in addition to a multitude of fund-raising campaigns. Individuals interested in becoming involved in a “Friends’’ group are encouraged to talk with Mrs. Sheldon. A car reported off the road at M-66 and State Road at 9:45 Monday evening, September 18th, required the attention of Officer Art Long who was called as an assit to the Barry County Sheriff’s Department. The driver was allegedly driving under the influence of liquor and the auto had to be impounded and towed into town. A patron at a local bar reported malicious destruction to his pickup truck recently while it was parked in the lot behind the Main Street stores.

The Nashville am­ bulance was summoned and transported Doug to Pennock Hospital where he was treated and released. He returned home but was taken back to the hospital Tuesday evening by his father. At this writing, it is not known how much longer Doug must remain hospitalized. Last week’s rains kept the DPW crew busy repairing roof leaks at the village garage and Putnam Library. The roof at the library has been patched numerous times but continues to suffer interior damage during heavy-rains. In addition to the roof work, the men built a cabinet at the village garage, serviced village equipment and the police cruiser; and swept, patched, graveled and bladed village streets.

About 5:00 p.m. Friday, September 15th, Officer Long responded to a report of a two-car collision at Three Bridges south of town. At almost the same time, he received word of another two-car crash on M-66 at Lacey Road. When Long determined that the first accident involved property damage only, he radioed Eaton County Sheriff’s Department to police it and proceeded south on M-66 to the more serious collision at Lacey Road. Three persons were injured in that crash and had to be transported by ambulance to the hospital. While Long was on the scene, the Barry County Sheriff’s Depart­ ment arrived to cover the accident. Early last Wednesday evening, Officer Gene Koetje assisted the Barry County Sheriff’s Department by responding to a call of an overturned vehicle on Thornapple Lake Road, near Price Road.

Tobias told the council that the organization had read of the dying trees in a “Nashville News" column and wanted News permission to plant new pp maples as their annual fall conservation project The council welcomed the offer and, in July, McArthur attended a council meeting to complete arrangements. The volunteers plan to set between 60 and 80 trees, ranging in height from five to seven feet. “We’re going to need lots of local volunteers also”, said Village President Harold Christiansen last week. He suggested that Nashville residents who want to help with the project should bring their own shovels along and meet in Central Park at 9:00 a.m. Saturday, September 30th. “We want to have p part of the crew digging holes and part setting the the trees”, Christiansen said. Early this week, Christiansen will be mapping and staking spots throughout the village where the new trees are needed. Sapings for the project are being donated by a local property owner. “We have trees donated and labor donated”, said Christiansen. He encouraged local residents to assist the volunteers by allowing them to use garden hoses and water for the planting project. Residents are also asked to keep the sapings watered if needed, and to guard against vandalism of the young trees. The visiting volunteers will be camping for the weekend, at Sandyland Park, and have planned a com­ munity potluck supper for Saturday evening. In keeping with their interest in conservation, the club has asked President Christiansen to be present at the supper to speak on the production of maple syrup in Nashville.

A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative Abortion Funds-Now in the Senate is HB 6650, which ap­ propriates some $500 million for Social Services programs and prohibits spending state funds for abortions. Governor Milliken has already vetoed this bill once'. Transport p, Taxes-The Senate will soon vote on HB 4407-08, which increase gasoline taxes by 2 cents a gallon and boost license plate fees by 30 percent These increases are asked in order to improve highways and mass transportation. I voted no on the gas tax increases. Ballot Language - The State Board of Canvassers has now approved wording for all 11 of the proposals to appear on the statewide ballot this fall. If you would like a copy, and an explanation of the proposals, please write my office. Traffic Offenses - The House has approved HB 6507-15, a package of 9 bills which would decriminalize minor traffic offenses. If these become law, there would be no jail sen­ tences for not carrying registration, lacking a license plate, or running a red light or stop sign; instead, a person could admit responsibility rather than guilt, and pay a fine. Birthday Plates - The House will soon vote on HB 6593, which would create a license-plate purchase system under which the registrations of vehicles owned by individuals would expire on the owner’s birthday. Present registrations will expire every March 31. This would help reduce the long lines of license-plate purchasers at that time ofyear. Teacher Retirement - Both houses have now approved SB 1388, which provides $426 million for the state’s teacher retirement system. This is nearly $150 million over last year’s budget, but the increase is court-ordered to safeguard the financial security of the system. Gas Companies - A bill which may soon come before the House is HB 6648, which would prohibit major oil companies from owning gasoline stations in Michigan. Companies contend this would drive up prices, but station owners say it would encourage competitive pricing. Crime Compensation - A recent report by the Crime Victims Compensation Board shows that it has approved over half of the 800 applications received so far this year, awarding about $440,000 for an average of $1100 per victim whose income has been affected by crime. Real Estate - The Real Estate Advisory Board is seeking comments on real estate practices and activity in Michigan. If you have something to bring ot its attention, write Dr. N.M.

Maple Valley teachers without a contractMaple Valley teachers are now in their 5th week^jof school without a contract. Bargainers from Eaton County Education Association and the Maple Valley School Board met with a mediator until 3:00 a.m. on Sept. 18th but no settlement was reached. The next mediation session is scheduled for Oct 4. The main issue separating the two sides according to a teacher spokesman is the school boards demand for a three year contract with no cost of living provisions. The teachers have been bargaining on a yearly basis and the idea of a three year contract without cost of living is not appealing to the teachers. The Maple Valley teachers are hopeful of reaching an equitable settlement and are continuing to work toward that end. Action Ads WANTED: German Military items, fair cash prices paid.

September 27. 1978 - Poge 6 Cider sipping season begins! Sipping fresh cider while munching hot doughnuts is as much a part of fall as football and fall color, ac­ cording to Automobile Club of Michigan "Combining a trip to a cider mill with a Saturday football game or a fall color tour is an invigorating way to get into the spirit of the fall season," stated Auto Club Touring Manager Joseph Ratke To help motorists plan fall trips which include stops at cider mills, Auto Club's 1978 Cider Mill Guide lists 85 southern Michigan operations — 16 more than last year Thirty-one mills are located in Southeast Michigan, 27 are in East Michigan and 27 in West Michigan. “Although many cider mills are open all year, it is in the fall when apples are harvested that customers flock to their favorite mills,” Ratke explained. Visitors can watch ripe firm apples being washed, ground and pressed into pure apple cider. Close attention is given by operators to the blending of different varieties of apples for the best cider Some mills offer custom press! itg~ whereby customers bring in their own apples and containers and then pay the operator to extract the juice Apples also can be picked from the or­ chards of some cider mills, with the peak apple-picking period being now through the end of October. While the method of making cider hasn’t changed significantly through the years, most mills have modernized their operations with hydraulic presses. Some small family operations still use" geardriven machinery. “Since pressing often is done on an irregular schedule, persons wishing to view pressing operations should telephone ahead before starting out,” Ratke advised. Visiting a cider mill can be an all-day activity since some of the mills feature such attractions as flea markets, horse-drawn wagon rides, gift shops and animal farms.

Maple Valley basketball stays perfect— The varsity girls raised their record to 3-0 Tuesday night by outlasting a tough Vestaburg basketball quad 52-49. The Lionettes fell behind early falling victim to the accuracy of the squad from Vestaburg. But an agressive man-to-man press by MV caused the visitors enough trouble to allow Valley to take the lead 25-20 at the half. The lead didn’t hold up long in the third quarter as turnovers plagued the home team. They were outscored 7-18 to trail 32-38 by the end of the third quarter. But the Lions remained aggressive and took ad­ vantage pf Vestaburg mistakes. MV began regaining the lead when their visitors had a 44-34 point advantage. Foul trouble plagued Vestaburg as Michelle Workman left with 3:53 remaining to play. Kaye Hughes then scored 8 of the next 10 Valley points to put the score at 49-46 with 2:30 left to play. Valley again applied their press to cause Vestaburg mistakes and Tuesday Aspinall scored 4 points pulled the home team ahead to stay. Valley also hit 8 of 11 free throws during the final quarter. Cinda Murphy netted 4 of 4 in the final minutes. Their performance at the free-throw line was not as good the first three quarters however, as they connected on only 8 of 27. The Lion winning streak was stopped at Delton qp Thursday. A seasoned Delton squad handed their visitors a 55-38 defeat. Turnovers proved to be costly as the Lions mishandled the ball 39 times. MV fell behind early 8-17 and despite outscoring their opponents in the second quarter were behind 21-28 at half time. The Delton lead continued to build as the hosts amassed a 15 points third quarter lead outscoring Valley 23-5 in that period. Highlighting Delton play was 6’0” forward Michelle Kenyon who returns to her squad as an all-conference player in the KVA. She scored 16 points for Delton. Julie Barlow and Tuesday Aspinall scored 14 and 11 respectively for the Lions. Scoring honors for Vestaburg’s games go to Kaye Hughes with 16 and Tuesday Aspinall and Julie Barlow each netted 11 points. Cinda Murphy again led in the rebounding category both games. She has pulled down 35 rebounds in the first four games. The Lions meet PewamoWestphalia Monday night in a non-league battle then travel to Saranac Tuesday night to take on the tough league-rival Redskins. Girl scout 'round-up' Boston.

This money could also be used to fund training and specialized investigative services.” Nash said the bill is estimated to cost from $8.5 to $10 million in the first year.

It seems that in recent years, the PTO’s ip America are slowly fading out But it is the feeling of the new board that PTO should be and can be an effective and integral part of a child’s education. It should be parents as well as teachers helping our children to be prepared for the future. Therefore, we have not only set forth monetary goals for 1978 but educational goals to help parents understand their child’s learning process better on the elementary level.

You can try your hand at the questionable art of seed popping and enjoy hot coffee and fresh apple pie in the apple tent. Anyone not wearing red in Cedar Springs on October 7 may run the risk of arrest by the Keystone Cops during the town's Red Flannel DAy. It all started back in the winter of '36 when a New York feature writer bemoaned the fact that there were no red flannel long johns available for insulation against the cold winter. The Cedar Springs newspaper replied that their town’s stores were well supplied even if Saks Fifth Avenue was not, and Cedar Springs was on the map. Three years later the town set aside a special day to honor the “drop seated” undergarments and the tradition has continued through the years. Red flannel weather is not too far off, but before it arrives you’re invited to attend Michigan^ annual autumnal spectacular. Some choice seats for the show are aboard the motor ship Beaver Islander for a color cruise on Lake Charlevoix. Cruise dates are October 7-8 and 14 from Charlevoix, and you must make reservations.

Maple Valley youth scores high in state poultry contest Nyle Wells,.14, of Gresham Highway, Vermontville, was one of three Eaton County .representatives to last Friday’s Zindel Fitting and Showmanship Contest held at Michigan State Univer­ sity. The contest, under the direction of Dr. Sam Varghese, was part of the State Youth Poultry Contest and was held in honor of Dr. Howard Zindel, president of the MSU Poultry Science Department and volunteer of 25 years with youth in the poultry field. Nyle, who placed eighth among 37 contestants in his 13-15 age group division, was judged on his ability to handle his chicken, the appearance of both himself and the chicken, and a personal interview testing his knowledge of poultry breeds, classes, and characteristics. What made Nyle’s par­ ticipation unique was the fact that the Eaton County Fair does not have poultry showmanship contest. However, Nyle, a verteran of Eaton County Fair exhibits, was asked by the County 4-H Office to represent the county in Friday’s com­ petition. Nyle is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Caroll Wells and is a freshman at Maple Valley High School. Action Ads WANTED TO BUY: Spinet Piano, in good condition. Ph. 945-9554, and ask for Shelley, call 9 to 5.

The Maple Valley Varsity Football earned its first victory of the season last Friday by beating Portland. The Lions took the opening kickoff and marched to midfield before punting. Steve Lawless took the punt on his own 20 yard line, faked a reverse, and went 80 yards for a touchdown. Troy Click kicked the point and Por­ tland led 7-0. It was to be Portland’s only threat of the evening. The fired up Maple Valley Defense allowed Portland only 63 yards rushing and 60 yards passing. Meanwhile the Lion offense was chur­ ning our 224 yards on the ground, mostly on the less of Quentin War'd who rushed 33 times for 170 yards. The offensive line of Brad Carpenter, Nolan Goodner, David Cook, Dennis Codr, Doug Cook, Kevin Kilpatrick and Andy Joostberns was busy opening holes on the line for Quentin and the fleet footed senior back powered his way for extra yardage beyond the line. His longest run for the night was 28 yards. Maple Valley had one good chance to score in the third quarter with a first down on the three'yard line, but a fumble ended the scoring drive. Early in the fourth quarter, the Lions found the end zone when Jeff Mead ‘Service You Can Count On’ •»&** SHj ® feainSufi; । ogi iW.iXaistf 4lfcdm_ WCNW s® Mlifeij Ell U ■■ r) smuw ' ' IXPtihMfl!

Quentin Ward then ran in-the extra point to give the Lions a 8-7 lead and the victory. Two special team per­ formers deserve mention. Don Fox returns punts for Maple Valley and the sure hShded junior handled punts without seven miscue, The most im­ portant thing in returning punts is catching the ball so that it gets no roll. Don has been very effective. Jeff Hom was also very im­ portant as the Maple Valley punter. His eight punts kept Portland deep in their own end all night. The real stars of the night were the Lion defensive performers. Led by linebacker Ken Hansbarger and the defensive line charge of Andy Joostherns and Kevin Kilpatrick, the defense dominated Portland with gang tackles that literally swamped the Portland ball carriers. Other defensive personnel are Nolan Goodner, Ken Wood, Doug Cook, Darrel Clements, Jeff Mead, Alan Gardner, Quentin Ward, LeRoy Bursley, and Bill Maker. The Lions face Vestaburg at Vestaburg next Friday and must guard against a letdown after the emotional victory over Portland. Portland wins over Maple Valley J.V. 20 to 12 Maple Valley jumped off to an early 12-0 score before Portland gathered momentum to score a 20-12 victory over the young Lions. Mike Kelly scored both touchdowns for Maple Valley as the Lions controlled the first quarter of pl^y. Leading the defense with 12 tackles each were Jim Farnham and Newman Maurer. Larry Thomason had 11 tackles and Mark Suthfeir 10. “Portland was undefeated for a reason,” says Coach Reeohonen, “they were a strong football team once they got started. Our team has potential to be very competitive, but we do things a young team will do, such as relaxing with a 12-0 lead. Experience will show these young men that you must continue working hard no matter what the score is. However, we are very pleased with the quality of play Maple Valley has. This team is able to do all facets of the game, run, pass, op­ tion, etc. We hope to continue to improve.” This week Vestaburg travels to Maple Valley for a 7:00 game on Thursday.

Hot, dry conditions were causing some harvest damage by more splitting and cracking of beans. Most of the Lower Peninsula conditions were favorable for all farm ac­ tivities with six plus days suitable for field work. The hot, dry week pushed crops toward maturity. Upper Peninsula farmers faced wet and damp conditions with less than 4 days suitable for field activities. Dry bean, potato, fruit and vegetable harvesting, haying and field preparation occupied far­ mers’ time. Corn: Statewide, corn is 75 percent in the dented stage compared with 85 percent last year and 70 percent normally. Near 10 percent has reached the mature stage, off from last year’s 20 percent and normal’s 15. One Livingston county reporter states, “Drought has cut yields more than expected. Some corn is terrible.” However, another reporter comments, “No bumper crops in Clinton county this year-dry weather saw to that. Still they will probably average about normal.” Corn silage cutting con­ tinued with 10 percent harvested. Small Grains: Dry conditions in the Lower Peninsula are hindering fail plowing and winter wheat seeding. Statewide about 1 percent of the wheat has been sown. This compares with 5 percent last year and normally. Oat harvest continues in the Upper Peninsula. Dry Beans & Soybeans: Harvesting of dry beans was very7 brisk during the past week. Near 40 percent of the crop has been- harvested, well ahead of last seasons 5 percent and "25 percent normally. The dry weather will increase harvest damage this year as more beans are splitting and cracking. About 15 percent of the soybean fields have leaves shedding with a few fields mature. This equals last r year’s and normal progress. A Lenawee county reporter says, “The soybeans are short and the small pods are drying up.” Hay & Pasture: Third cutting of hay is 45 percent complete, equalling the 1977 progress and IGt percent ahead of normal. Third cutting yields‘will be low. A Shiawassee reporter sums it up, “Generally, rtot much third growth of alfalfa. Everything is drying up." Upper Peninsula second cuttings are still in progress. Pastures are providing adequate grazing in the Upper Peninsula and western Lower, but are short in most other areas. Fruits & Vegetables: Summer apple harvest is nearly complete with picking of fall varieties getting underway. Pear harvest advanced under favorable conditions- with near 70 percent of the crop picked. Mr. Paul Johnson of 514 2nd St. and Linda Johnson of 315 W. 3rd St. Charlotte, are proud to announce the engagement of their* daughter Eileen, to Jerry Fhaner of 212 Pinetree Ave., Potterville. Eileen resides with her mother and works for Auto Owners Ins. Co. of Lansing. Jerry owns and operates Keehnes Collision Service in Charlotte. His parents are Mr. and Mrs. Robert Fhaner of Prudenville. A July wedding is being planned. Peaches are 70 percent harvested; behind 95 percent last year and 85 percent normally. Plums are 35 percent harvested compared with 90 percent last season. Early variety' grape harvest has begun. Harvest is ex­ pected to get into full swing the last week of September. Vegetable crops are generally behind last season’s harvest progress but near normal. Ap­ proximately 45 percent of the dry onions are dug compared with 75 percent-last year and 40 percent normally. Sweet corn is 80 percent picked slightly behind last sum­ mer’s pace of 85 percent. Serving our country Dawn M.

A spring harvest from 17,300 acres; the same as harvested in 1977, produced a crop of excellent quality and quantity. Last fall’s rainfall provided adequate soil moisture for fern growth. Yields averaged. 1,300 averaged pounds per acre, up 200 pounds over last season. Production for the 1978 onion crop is forecast at 2,31'0,000 hundredweight (cwt.), 10 percent larger than last year’s weather­ beaten crop and the highest production since 1965. Onion acreage, at’7,000 acres for harvest, is 100 acres less than 1977’s harvested amount. Offsetting the less harvestable acreage is an increase in yield per acre to 330 cwt., up 12 percent from last season’s 295 cwt. and the best yield since 1972. Harvest was underway by the end of August, a week or two later than usual. There was an estimated 2,7000 acres of strawberries picked this spring in Michigan, down 100 acres for the fifth consecutive year. Yield per acre, at 57 cwt., isup 6 percent over last year. Total production inched up 2 percent from 151,000 cwt/ in 1977 to 154,000 cwt. this year. Harvest, which got un- derway in late May last year, was postponed by cool weather till June this year. Contracted acreage for processing tomatoes is targeted at 4,200 harvested acres, a 100 acre increase over last year. Yields dropped from 15.5 tons per acre last year to 14.5 tons this year. Dry weather during the_ peak growing period in the southeast lowered yields slightly. Overall production, however, is expected to be up from 58,100 tons in 1977 to 60.900 tons this year.

BOBBIE HOEFLER Vermontville Township Clerk �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, October 4, 1978 - Page 5 Nashville council to look into villages vacant, hazardous buildings* by Susan Hinckley * I !». ''Mllfll ^'‘■s •JilH WWW- Tempers flared and heated discussions ensued on several subjects at last Thursday’s meeting of the Nashville Village Council. The possiblity of the village taking action against owners of vacant structures that present health or safety hazards was considered. A Main Street house was the initial cause of the issue. Zoning Administrator Charles Andrus, Jr. told the council he had received several complaints on the building. Village Attorney David Dimmers, who was present at the meeting, advised the. council that, according to a state statute, structures creating a health of safety hazard can be ordered removed or abated by the village. If the owners fails to follow the order, Dimmers said, an officer of the village can remove or abate the building. Any necessary court expenses can be added to the taxes assessed* against the property. Charged by a member of the audience that they were singling out one individual among many offenders in the village, the council con­ sidered the proper procedure of notifying owners to clean up hazardous properties. Village President Harold Christiansen ended the discussion by appointing Councilmen Maurice Purchis and Forrest Babcock to compile a list of all vacant, hazardous buildings in the village on which complaints have been received. A general village ordinance, as well as the state statute, prohibits existence of hazardous structures. Pat Osborn and Vern Hansen of the Ordinance USTDM pi contract had been signed with the firm and the village suffered no financial loss in cancelling the order--a decision that carried by a 4 to 2 vote. Another controversial discussion ensued between Tim Smith,' Director of Public Services and Safety, and Councilman Bill Hecker on Smith’s role in applying for grant funds for the recreational park development project. Lack of an architectural plan and a topographical map of the area is holding up action on the grant application. Hecker said the Riverside Recreational Development committee had repeatedly asked Smith in the past if these would be needed in order to qualify for the grant and Smith had assured them they would not.- Smith defended himself by saying he had only been advised in mid-July by the Army Corp, of Engineers that the ad­ ditional material would be needed to meet the Sep­ tember 1st deadline. At present the grant ap­ plication, though filed, is in limbo. In other action, drawing a variety of audience and council response, a renewal contract bid from Hastings Sanitary Service for weekly refuse pickup in the village was accepted. Though there was no dispute with the company or owner, Ken Neil, who was present for the meeting, several persons expressed dismay that cheating by some village residents might cost paying customers higher rates. Now set at $3.50 per month, subscriber rates may be raised by the village to cover costs of operating the landfill on Casgrove Street Tim Smith and Neil agreed Beginning October 3rd, residents of Nashville will be visited by volunteers working for the United Fund Drive. The goal for the 1978 campaign is $1,800 and area residents are urged to give generously to help support the many community-wide agencies that depend on the United Fund. There is a need for more volunteers for areas without coverage. Anyone wishing to solicit is asked to contact Mrs. Cecil Steward, chairperson of the cam­ paign.

The possibility of using specially colored bags, bought from the village by subscribers, was suggested as a fair solution though it was agreed that trash burning would undoubtedly increase under such a system. In other business the council approved installation of a street light on Phillips near the Baptist Church parking lot. The church had requested the additional lighting and Tim Smith recommended it for “pedestrian safety’’. Councilman Oleson made a motion to install the light adding that “the council would gladly accept any contribution offered to cover the installation fee.” Coucilman Maurice Purchis reported the hazard ofychildren riding bicycles recklessly on Main Street sidewalks without regard for pedestrians. Some coun­ cilmen thovsT it would be more hazardous to send the youngsters out into M-66 street traffic, but all agreed some crackdown on habitual offenders was needed.

After a lenghty debate on the issue, the council decided on a motion by Councilman Tom Oleson that they “no longer wished to do business with the firm”.

Wednesday, October 4,1978- Page 6 Nashville Methodists to launch pony express campaign"— More than 125 members of Nashville United Methodist Church will become saddlebag-earring “trail bosses* and “route riders” within the next few weeks in their church’s Pony Express stewardship campaign, which begins October 8th and continues through October 29th. The Rev. Leonard F. Putnam, pastor, said the campaign this year is based on the same concept as the Pony Express of more than a century ago-teamwork. Joe Andrews, general manager of the campaign, said ten leaders of the church have been designated trail bosses, to supervise the relaying of the saddlebags to each of the church’s families on Pony Express “run” route. “We decided to use this unique approach because we believe stewardship cam­ paigns should be exciting and pleasurable, in addition to having their serious moments,” he said. . “And, many dedicated members of the church are hesitant to solicit pledges from their friends and neigh­ bors. With this Pony Express program, there are no no solicitations and pledges.” The Rev. Leonard F. Putnam explained that each member is asked simply to estimate the amount he or she will be able to give to the church during the coming year. . “Each family makes their decision in the privacy of their home, without any over-the-shoulder ‘super- SPECIAL for HARVEST FESTIVAL Southern Fried Chicken vision* of someone from the church,” he said. ' He said the Pony Express theme was chosen because of the example set by the highly dedicated riders of the original Pony Express. “In addition to their' personal commitment, the secret of their success lay in their ability to work as a team-each rider dependent on the other to make the relay system work and speed the mail on to its final destination,” he said. Likewise, he said, the success of the church depends on the dedication, commitment and teamwork of each member. “We trust each family to act responsibly in making a decision about the support they will give their church during the coming year,” he said.

By Mary Bills Being born and raised in the city, I believe has made me appreciate the country so much more. There is a sense of solitude in the country, a quiet, that lets you discover beautiful things you never though existed. In the country, the changing seasons seem more apparent. I am in constant awe of the beauty around me. The brightly colored leaves that spread a patch­ work blanket over the ground, the slight breeze that brings fresh smells of autumn, the final harvest that gathers friends and neighbors together to reep what they have sewn. Nashville has given me a chance to experience growing, not only the amazement of Mother Nature, but also a feeling of peacefulness with-in myself. Nashville, I salute you.

His autobiography is a rich source of memories and impressions of the hardships and adventures of 19th century pioneer life. Historian John Cumming, in his introduction to the volume, remarks, “Few men enjoyed such a variety of adventures over such a long period of time, extending from the pioneer days in Michigan into the twentieth century, as well as the pioneer period in California and Minesota. The changes which he witnessed would by themselves make an im­ pressive volume; but the fact that Theodore Edgar Potter was an active par­ ticipant in bringing about many of these changes makes this narrative even more significant.” Hardscrabble Books has published facsimile reprints of out-of-print books on Michigan history since 1972.

Lt. Gov. Damman cast a rare tie-breaking vote which ensured passage in the Sendte Fiscal Year-We are now in the 1978-79 fiscal year. As of last week, all major budget bills for this year have been enacted; as the Constitution specifics, they do not exceed the estimated state revenue for the fiscal year. Lobbyist Regulation-Both houses have now approved SB 674, which requires lobbyists to report expenditures made on legislators and other state officials over $25 a month; all gifts are prohibited. The House amended the bill to require legislators to report lobbyist expenses made on them; the Senate must agree to that and other amendments for it to become law. Tax Questions-The three state ballot proposals dealing with taxes are “E”, “H” and “J”; the League of Women Voters and the UAW oppose all three, while other groups support one or more of them. In the meantime, Governor Milliken is appointing a commission to study how to im­ plement the proposals if they pass and to avoid any possible problems from conflicting words. Gun Question-The Court of Appeals has asked the Supreme Court to rule on the constitutionality of the 1976 law requiring an additional 2-year prison term for using a gun in committing a felony. In separate cases, 7 appeals judges threw out the law; 6 said it was OK. Liquor Price-The Senate recently passed HB 4448, which increases the state mark-up on liquor another 6 percent over cost. This was asked to help liquor dealers meet rising costs of wage taxes and fees; it means retail liquor prices will go up next year. Door-torDoor-The Attorney General has ruled that cities cannot prohibit citizen groups from door-to-door solicitation or otherwise retrict such activity. However, cities may require written identification of organization and their canvassers, to protect against criminals. Bloodless Bullfights-In another ruling, the Attorney General has said that a demonstration of bloodless bullfighting does not violate our cruelty-to animals law. At least one of my colleagues has promised to introduce legislation prohibiting any form of bullfighting.

Additional funds will be earmarked for tran­ sportation purposes from the state’s general fund. “I certainly agree with the part of the package that increases the county’s share of highway funds so that local government can carry out its duties,” Nash said. “I voted to change the funding formula to accomplish that without penalizing the consumer. “Truthfully, counties could have received a larger share without the legislature increasing any taxes. If we needed additional revenues, we could have obtained them through the general fund. "With this in mind, I just could not vote for the package,” he said. Nash added that most people believe the tran­ sportation package primarily benefits southeast Michigan. “It obviously does, and a large part of the money to be raised is ear­ marked for a mass transit system, which the people in my district overwhelmingly oppose,” he said.

Continuing a Nashville tradition which started in 1904 with an attendance of 3,000 at the first Harvest Festival, this year’s event featured outstanding produce exhibits and a wide variety of crowd-pleasing activities. Many favorable comments Three year old Cassie Appleman appears to be awed by a ride on the merry-go-round at the Festival. A pumpkin weighing 122 pounds and measuring 74'/» inches around, grown by Scott Long of Rt. 2, Nashville, was the biggest pumpkin entered in the produce contest during the Harvest Festival. Measuring the entry are judges Ellis Garlinder (left) and Elmer Jarvie. on the weekend festivities were heard by members of the Riverside Recreational Development Corp., spon­ sors of the affair to raise funds for development of a community recreational park. Held this year in con­ junction with the traditional Maple Valley High School Homecoming celebration, many school events added color and excitement to the Harvest Festival. Despite a windy Friday evening scattered with in­ termittent rain, the Junior and Senior girls staged a rough-and-tumble powder puff football game ending with a 12-6 victory for the Seniors. The traditional snake dance and bonfire followed the game at the Fuller Street field. Meanwhile, many adults and children were enjoying a sumptuous turkey dinner at the United Methodist Church and later, a crowd of oyer 200 attended the Harvest Talent Show at Kellogg School auditorium to be entertained by 18 acts and witness the crowning of Thelma Christopher as Nashville’s 1978 Harvest Queen. Early Saturday morning, a new Harvest Festival event was initiated with the first Harvest Run. Twenty-four runners competed in the 6.2 mile race, following a cir­ cuitous route of country roads beginning and ending at Putnam Park. Roger Larsen, 40 of Battle Creek, was the first to cross the finish line covering the 10,000 meter route in an amazing 38 minutes. The final runner to cross the line took 64.4 minutes to complete the race. Judging of the harvest produce was also in progress early Saturday under the “bit top” on Main Street. Story by Susan Hinckley Photos by Elaine Gilbert "Showing victory" the float built by the Freshman class, captured first place for the best high school float entered in the Harvest Festival-Homecoming parade. Growers and exhibitors in ten categories received ribbons and cash prizes. Drawing much attention in the produce exhibit area was an artistic display, by Burr Hartenburg, of harvested vegetables arranged in a wheelbarrow. Pumpkins were also a highlight of the show, with top honors going to one weighing 122 pounds, grown by Scott Long of Nashville.

Teachers-School Board still at impass last nite A crowded Maple Valley Board of Education meeting, last night, left the board and teachers still at an impasse at Maple Valley News press time. The stalemate in contract negotiations between the board and teachers- drew an estimated crowd of 200 to the high school cafeteria to attend the board's monthly meeting. The audience gave widespread support to the teachers, who are seeking a cost-of-living clause in renewal of a three year contract which expired June 30. 'We are now at the point where both parties will be reviewing their positions,' Carrpll Wolff, superintendent of schools, told the audience about the bargaining which began in May. Teachers have been working the past six weeks without a contract. Teacher Mel Ruohenon said 'the stress factor is starting to come into the classroom.' 'We didn't get into teaching to get rich,' said teacher Ed Sampson. ’Our main concern is that we can at least tread water financially and keep up from year-to-year.' Many members of the audience asked to speak on behalf of the teachers, pointing out the value of experienced teachers and that the children would be the ones to suffer without them. 'There has been no great movement from the grassroots for millage increases,' Wilbur Marsh, board president, countered. He said a millage increase would be required before the three years are up if the amounts requested by the teachers are granted. 'Industry can raise the cost of products to cover the increased cost of labor,' Marsh explained, ’but the board cannot arbitrarily raise millage to cover salary increases.' Most of the audience indicated they would not object to increased millage to retain the teachers. When questioned about exact figures, Wolff said negotiation figures could not be disclosed. However, he did read a pay scale for the past school year. Several members of the audience indicaied they could not Continued on page 12- �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, October 11, 1978 - Page 2 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley Construction began last week on the new 32-unit senior citizens apartment complex being developed on the site of the old Lentz Table Factory in Nashville by B & B Development Company of Battle Creek. Excavation for the footings was started last Wednesday by East Lansing Development Construction Company, contractors for the $634,000 project. Tim Boucher of Nashville, a partner with Tom Bly of Battle Creek in B & B Development, reports that one structure, housing 16 apartments, may be ready for occupancy in less than three months. Plans call for two separate buildings, both consisting of 16 units with 8 onebedroom and 8 two-bedroom apartments in each. In­ stallation ofutilities will follow the footings and ground floor construction, and it is hoped that framing-in will be done before winter sets in. Target date for completion of the project is six months, depending on the weather. Laundry facilities, a parking area, and landscaping are also included in the plans. Hugh Feighner of Thornapple Lake Road was hospitalized at Pennock last week for testing relative to diabetes. At this writing, he is expected home soon.

The group worked about seven hours, sometimes in light rain, to complete the planting-a fall conservation project initiated by the NCHC. Camping at Sandyland Park for the weekend, the organization enjoyed gathering around a campfire Saturday evening while President Christiansen explained Nashville’s maple syrup production-a request they had made in keeping with their interest in nature. The maple saplings received a good supply of water in the recent rains. Some necessary staking and trimming of the young trees will be done by Mr. Christiansen.

Billed as “The Millers Three”, the trio was one of eighteen acts competing in a show that drew a crowd of over 200 to Kellogg School auditorium. Cash prizes were awarded in vocal, instrumental, and miscellaneous categories. Under the direction of Helen Curtis and Elsie Arbour of Nashville, the event was rated a “great success” by spectators, participants, and sponsor-the Riverside Recreational Development Corp. Former Nashville resident Bill Bateman, now of Battle Creek, acted as Master of Ceremonies for the show. Serving as judges were Mrs. Art Long and Mrs. George Frith, both of Nashville, and entertainer Don Lincoln of Woodland. A professional audio system was furnished by the Nashville Church of the Nazarene. Kevin Tom of Lansing aided on stage and performed a noncompetitive “Elvis” presentation while the audience awaited the judges’ decision. Midway in the show, Nash­ ville’s 1978 Harvest Festival Queen Thelma Christopher was crowned by Ray Hin­ ckley, chairman of the queen contest. He was assisted by Suzy Corkwell, representing the- RRDC. Appearing on stage with Mrs. Christopher were other contestants in the Harvest Queen competition who served as members of her court. Following first place winners, “The Millers Three”, in vocal category were Vickie Newman of Battle Creek, second; and Joanne Felder of Nashville accompanied by Vicki Mix of Vermontville, third. First place in instrumental category went to “Thumper and Friends”, an accordian group from Hastings; second, to violinist Paula Payne of Woodland; and third, to “Monday Nite Special”, a local bluegrass trio comprised of Ken Meade, Lowell McMillon and his daughter, Kim. In miscellaneous category, first place was awarded to “Kiss”, an exaggerated hard rock group complete with ghoulish costumes, disco lights and ear-shattering recorded music. Second place in miscellaneous was won by Nyle Wells, a young magician from Ver­ montville; and third was awarded to Mary Truman of Hastings and Kathy Sincler of Delton for a flute duet. All participants in the contest received special certificates honoring them for appearing in the Nash­ ville’s 1978 Harvest Festival Talent Show.

Michele Ackerman of North Adams, Jarrard, and Lisa Ulrich and Mary Yanke, both of Howard City, placed eighth in the overall team standings and received team honors in the Ayrshire and Guernsey breeds at the annual event. The 4-H’ers were required to judge 10 classes of dairy cattle and defend their platings in five of the classes before official judges. In the individual stan­ dings, Ulrich tied for first in the Guernsey breed and second in the Jersey breed and placed ninth in the overall individual com­ petition. Ackerman earned fifth place individual honors in Ayrshire breed. “The contest gives 4-H dairy members a chance to refine their evaluation, decision-making and verbal skills,” says says Gale Baumgardner, Michigan State University 4-H youth dairy specialist.

October 11,1978 - Page 5 Nashville audience hears Rep. Don Gilmer discuss the 11 proposals of November's ballot Story by Susan Hinckley “State government will not limit spending by itself; the voters must do it,” State Rep. Donald H. Gilmer (RAugusta) told an audience of forty interested citizens at Castleton Township Hall last Thursday evening. Gilmer, who represents the 55th District which includes Barry County, was in Nash­ ville to explain Michigan’s eleven ballot proposals for the November 7th general election and discuss them with local voters. “How many of you in this room had an opportunity to vote on the recent gas tax increase?” Gilmer asked the audience. “Under the Headlee proposal, you would have had that opportunity not just I, as your representative,” said Gilmer who voted “no” on the recently-passed tran­ sportation package which increases gasoline taxes and license plate fees to finance road improvements and mass-transit systems in the Fresh CIDER $i25 Gallon Freedom Road Nashville DANCi state. Of the three tax proposals on the ballot, Gilmer said he favors the‘Headlee amend­ ment which would limit state taxation, and consequently state spending, from rising faster than personal income. The Headlee amendment would force the legislature to budget itself according to the public’s ability and willingness to pay, Gilmer explained. “Presently in Lansing there is a dominance of special interest groups— especially organized labor and the southeast Michigan (Detroit) area; they always come out on the better end of any deal cut in Lansing,” said Gilmer., “How many of you have ever been to the Detroit Art Museum or the Pontiac Domed Stadium?” asked Gilmer. “Yet your state tax dollars helped pay for them,” he continued, estimating that every person in Michigan had contributed one tax dollar to the art museum alone. “The Headlee proposal would control taxes levied at the state level, over which local,voters now have no control,” Gilmer added. Under the Headlee plan, state spending cannot be increased without voter approval. “On the other hand, the Tisch Tax Shift proposal would limit local spending by cutting property taxes in half, but would have no ef­ fect on state taxes,” Gilmer Sahirday,act,H COUNTOondW 9$p.s.-l$u fcftta-IHenJfc No Limit Last Offer! —Expires Oct IlWalyti! $099 14, 1978— Gal.

VERMONTVILLE. MICHIGAN Phone 726-0514 explained. Taxes such as gasolinetax, sales tax, and state income taxes could continue to rise with no control under the Tisch plan. “The Tisch proposal is a clear threat to your local government,” warned Gilmer. Your fire and police protection, your ambulance service, your schools would all be seriously jeopardized by Tisch,” said Gilmer. Revenues to local governing bodies would be cut by fifty percent, he explained, and county services would also be cut in half so Nashville, for example, could not fall back on the county for police protection. “If you want to hurt your local government-cut your police, your fire protection, your schools-vote for Tisch,” Gilmer told the audience. “But if you want to limit the state’s ability to tax you-vote for Headlee,” he advised. The third tax proposal, the School Voucher plan, was also discussed by Gilmer. This plan would completely remove property taxes from financing education, and require the state to replace all lost revenues by in­ creasing personal state income taxes and single business taxes. Although the mechanics of the system have not yet been worked out, Gilmer said “most likely parents will be given cer­ tificates for each child; the certificates may be used at either a public or private school.” Since the plan does not specify where a child must attend school, Gilmer predicted chaos in the state’s educational system. Maple Valley students, for example, might choose to attend school in Ionia or Hastings leaving local school buildings partially filled and busing in an uncertain situation, Gilmer explained. “The whole structure of education in this state would be totally revolutionized if the voucher proposal passes,” said Gilmer. He estimated the plan would cost Michigan an additional $225 million for funding parochial and private schools. Any church or special interest group would be free to start a school and have it financed under the voucher system, Gilmer explained. “What happens if more than one of the three tax proposals pass?” asked a member of the audience. “This is a gray area,” replied Gilmer, “but if more than one passes, the Supreme Court will have to decide the outcome.” Since all three proposals amend the present State Con- stitution, Gilmer explained that if Proposal A (rewriting the State Constitution) passes, than “all three tax proposals will go right out the window” Before concluding the meeting, Gilmer took time to briefly discuss the eight other ballot proposal which include, in addition to rewriting the constitution, raising the drinking age to 21; denial of bail for violent criminals; limiting parole; allowing state police collective bargaining; dividing funds between high­ way and Public transportation use; established a railroad authority to im­ prove tracks in the state; and allowing the state to invest funds in credit unions and savings and loan associations, as well as banks. ‘Service You Can Count On’ Extension to sponsor public meeting about ballot proposals Because it’s important to understand the meaning of the State proposals on the November 7 ballot, a public informational meeting will be held in Charlotte on Thursday, October 19th at 7:30 p.m. The meeting, sponsored by the Cooperative Extension Service, will be held in the Community Room of the Municipal Building in downtown Charlotte.

Nashville cub scouts are in need of leaders; volunteer With the beginning of the scouting year the young boys of Nashville have showed up and signed up to become good constructive Cub Scouts. The problem with this interest is that not enough adult leaders have been found to make dens for the new scouts. Seven fathers are going to be leaders, four mothers are going to be den leaders and five parents will serve as committee members. There are 51 boys who hope to participate in the Cub Scouts this year; 16 of these boys will not have a den unless two or three of their parents or grandparents or best babysitter or other volunteers will make the time to be a den leader. Most of these boys live inside the village. Ifyou could find the time to be a leader you would find the job very rewarding and interesting. If you would like to know more about becoming a leader call the Cubmaster Ken Meade at 852-9196 or the den leader coach Sally Peake at 852­ 0742.

Nashville, Wednesday, October 11,1978 - Page 12 First regional youth detention center opens in Michigan, October 1 — High School Principal Burr Hartenburg congratulates homecoming queen Cinda Murphy. A regional youth detention center serving nine east­ central Michigan primary counties, and the first of its kind in the state, wUl begin operations October 1 when the Michigan Department of Social Services (MDSS) assumes administration of the Genesee County Children’s Facility in Flint. The center, located at 4287 W. Pasadena, Flint (just west of 1-75), will be renovated and enlarged from its present 52-bed capacity to handle 72 residents within the next few months to provide shortterm, secure custody, assessment, and assistance to youth. Children and youth alleged to be delinquent may be detained as ordered by juvenile courts pending an adjudication hearing, and-or pending completion of a placement following a disposition hearing. The center is intended to provide safe, secure and supportive care conducive to personal growth in preparing youngsters to return to the community or to an alter­ native placement. One of its four wings will be reserved for female residents. In addition to Genesee, the center will serve Eaton, Gratiot, Huron, Lapeer, Tuscola, Sanilac, Shiawassee, and Livingston Counties directly. Other counties — with preference given to upstate counties lacking their own detention facilities — will be served when bed space is available. Several social services will be provided by the center, including a case plan for individual detention, psychological and psychiatric exams for emotionally or behaviorally disturbed youth, progress reports and placement recommendations to probation officers and DSS caseworkers, placement preparations to assist youth to understand what is happening to them, and family counseling.

Your Roaming Reporter Mrs. Donna Wyskowski Teachers-School Board at impass- from front live on the amount paid the teachers. Upon further insistence from the audience and consulatation with Thomas Taylor and Ed Sampson, members of the teachers bargaining committee, Wolff did disclose the difference between the board's offer and the teachers' demand. The figure for the first year was given as $8,400 and the second year as $39,000 difference between the two sides. A member of the audience pointed out- that the amount represented only $89. per teacher for the year. There are 94 teachers employed in the system. At that point the board voted to go into closed executive session to further discuss the matter. The audience was excused and told they could wait for reopening of the public meeting if they wished. The teachers have indicated a willingness to sign a one year contract, but the board favors a mulit-year contract due to regulations controlling renewal. EDITOR'S NOTE: As this story was being written, the school board was meeting in executive session. After the session was reopened to the public, the board announced it was willing to go back into negotiations with a state mediator. Following that announcement, a staff meeting of the teachers was held. The teachers agreed to not vote on withholding their services until after they know when the negotiations with a mediator would take place,, according to Ed Sampson,, a member of the negotiating team. Sampson said they were not hopeful about the situation, but they felt a mediator should have a chance to enter into the negotiations.

Also the money, gifts and the many cards we received, and for the wonderful day the Lord gave us for the occasion. We thank the children, grandchildren and friends who took hold and helped.

Mr. & Mrs. Adrian Pufpaff The center will also offer physical and dental exams, basic education classes in English, mathematics and social studies, career training for various occupations in daily classes, physical education, recreation and creative art courses, and voluntary religious services and counseling. The transfer to state ad­ ministration Sunday will involve about 60 percent Genesee County employees at the facility who will become state Civil Service workers. The hiring of additional staff will bring the number of employees to 81 eventually, according to center Director Richard C. Friz. New youth from the other primary counties is expected to raise the im­ mediate resident population to 52. The cepter will be operated and administered by the Institutional Services Division of the MDSS Office of Children and Youth Services. Vergil Pinckney, head of the Institutional Division, explained that formation of a state-run regional detention facility for youth was authorized by legislation enacted during the past 12 years culminating in the passage and enactment of Public Act 87 in April 1978 which calls for developing a statewide regional detention plan by MDSS to be presented to the lawmakers by March 31, 1979. “In 1970 we began to develop a shelter care program — as an alternative to secure detention — in the northern counties,” Pin-, ckney said. “Now in addition to the Genesee center, we’re opening 22 foster home shelter care beds this year in the same nine counties served by the center. The purpose is to reduce the use of jails to detain youth. “This is a very important step for the department in that we are expanding the services we provide to in­ clude secure detention care facilities.” He added that there are no plans now to open similar centers elsewhere. “We are not planning to operate other detention facilities unless we are asked to by the counties,” he said. The Genesee County Probate Court and Board of Commissioners approached MDSS last December to discuss possible state operation of the facility. Both the presiding Probate Court judge and the Genesee County commissioners agreed to transfer the operation to the state department. The state legislature approved the necessary appropriations in August. MDSS staff are going ahead with a statewide needs assessment and will design a -proposal for possible future regional detention sites. Primary focus of the plan w be be too provide ovde a service sevce too will areas of the state where no detention facilities exist (at least 21 counties other than Genesee have their own centers). However, state officials point out that the legislature must appropriate con­ struction and operating funds before any new centers will be opened. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday.

Lionettes lose twoFor the first time in the young basketball season the Maple Valley girls varsity lost two games last week. Both losses were to league schools. Tuesday’s loss came at the hand of Lakeview on their home court. The Wildcats nearly doubled Valley’s score as poor free throw shooting and a poor defense allowed the hosts to score 54 points to Maple Valley’s 28. Though Valley scored 6 points on the Wildcats before they were able to counter, the Lakeview squad out­ scored their guests 21-13 by the half. MV was about to put only 15 points on the scoreboard in the second half while the Wildcats poured in 33. Kaye Hughes scored 12 points for the Lions. Pat Doll of Lakeview netted 28 points for the hosts. Portland came to the Lion gym on Thursday and gave the spectators an exciting game. The Raider’s scored first and never trailed but a poised Lion squard never gave up. The tall Portland squad outrebounded the Lions giving them more op­ portunity to score. The Lions defense held the high scoring Red Raiders to 48 points concentrating mainly on senior Pat Spitzley. Spitzley scored 16 points for the victors. Tuesday Aspinall netted 11 points for MV. The game was fast paced and well played despite the score. The Valley defense was effective but the offense was stalled because of the lack of offensive rebounds. Valley girls continued to play hard remained poised. The Lionettes stand 5-3 on the season and 2-2 in league play. l3Bt- >»®« >» « ?* SlBIt ***’• Z i ,Lh,J' l«lM Huill! jastv..

The 4-H office, in cooperation with the Eaton area Society for the Ad­ vancement to Gifted Education, is sponsoring a drama workshop in Im­ provisational Theatre, to be held Tuesday, October 24th, from 7-9:00 p.m. at Kardel Hall on the Charlotte Fairgrounds. A professional group of actors and ac­ tresses out of Lansing, calling themselves the “Very Little Theatre Company”, will conduct the workshop. The producer is Ms. Scottie Shumaker, and the director, Ms. Connie Ruffner. The evening will begin promptly at 7:00 p.m. with the play, “The Amazing Adventures of Captain Karma.” This is a children’s play for all ages. Following will be a demonstration of improvisational techniques. A handful of participants from the audience will be selected to help with this. The evening will conclude with small group trials so that everyone will have a chance to practice what they have learned. This workshop has something for everyone: for students and 4-H members — a chance to try improvisational techniques; for parents — using im­ provisation in the home for better communications and just for fun; for teachers — interested in theatre techniques for the classroom. This will be an experience in theatre FOR ALL AGES! A small donation will be collected at the door. We are asking that those planning to attend call in their reser­ vations by Friday, October 20th, to either the 4-H office, 543-2310, or to Barb Davis, Eaton Intermediate School, 543-5500.

Establishment of a 10 p.m. closing time for village parks was discussed and will be taken under advisement with the village attorney. He had furnished information on a state statute dealing with curfew hours for minors under 16 years of age, but the council felt the measure would not effectively curb recent vandalism in the parks. An ammendment to a village ordinance under the Uniform Traffic Code, requiring traffic to stop for school buses with flashing lights, was suggested to the council by Police Chief Wilcox following con­ sultation with the Michigan State Police. The council expressed agreement on the matter but tabled action pending exact worage of the proposed amendment.

Speaking on educational opportunites in the armed services was Lt. Col. Gayland Tennis, commanding officer of the U.S. Army Recruiting Command in Lansing, which covers all of the lower Michigan ex­ cept the Detroit area. Lt. Col. Plant explained the new program which replaces the former G.I. bill. Under this plan, a serviceman can invest in a fund for his education to which the government also con­ tributes. At the end of a fouryear enlistment, the ser­ viceman could have $8,100. available in his education fund, an amount to which he would have contributed only one-third. Plant told the audience that a serviceman who pursues college studies while in the service can normally complete four years of schooling in two years, if he applies himself, and can do so at about 10 percent of the cost of a fouryear education for a civilian. Transportation to and from schools is often fur­ nished by the military base and any credits received are transferrable to another college when the ser­ viceman’s enlistment is completed. The college-bound financial aid information program is an annual fall event at Maple Valley high School.

The October state aid payment in the amount of $354,429.57 which included $23,084.50 section 27 debt retirement funds has been received. The board members ap­ proved payment in the amount of $170.76 to Patrick O’Brien to cover four vacation days that he had not taken prior to leaving the school system.

Phone 945-9554 for Want-Ads A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative, Employment Up - Michigan’s unemployment rate dropped in September to the lowest level since January, 1974. The rate of 5.8 percent, down from August’s 8 percent, means 95,000 people went off the unemployment lists in just one month. Welfare Savings - The state’s welfare fraud investigation program is saving more than $270,000 per month. Computer cross-checks of welfare and employment records, plus regular fraud and abuse investigations, combine to produce this savings. Superintendent Leaves - State Superintendent of Public Instruction John Porter has announced he will retire as superintendent when his contract expires next year. He will have served ten years; only one other man has served longer as superintendent. Board Opposed - The State Board of Education has gone on record in opposition to all three tax proposals on the ballot this fall. It said Proposal H, the voucher Plan, will diminish local control of education, and that Proposal J, the Tisch amendement, will not in fact ensure equitable property tax reductions and will disrupt educational services. Construction Code - Governor Milliken has signed into law HB 4794, which expands the scope and improves the ad­ ministration of the state construction code. Changes include time for review of local ordinances and appeals, and provisions for uniformity of the code. Lined Out? - It now looks as if HB 6322, prohibiting the denial of auto or home insurance to area of residence, may not become law this session after ail. The main problem is of ensuring insurance availability at reasonable rates for “redlined” customers, while preventing excessive rate increases for customers in other areas to offset possible insurance losses. School Immunity - Another bill recently signed into law by the Governor is HB 4325, which makes school employees who give medicine to students immune from suits for criminal or civil damages. However, parents would still have to provide prior consent for treatment. Customs Exemption - Ifyop’re going to be travelling out of the country this winter, remember that as of November 4 the duty-free exemption for goods purchased abroad will in­ crease to $300. The exemption has been $100 for many years and was only recently changed by congress. Appliance Costs - A new publication from the Energy Extension Service shows how much it cost to opertae household electric appliances like air conditioners, blenders and electric combs “By the Hour...By the Month" is free from the Service at P.O.

(tfn) Gary Holman, Barry County Prosecutor, told the Nashville Chamber of Commerce last Wednesday evening that establishement of a full-time District Court judge for Barry County will be “benefifical to the prosecutor’s office, law enforcement officers and citizens, i with civiL’Complaints.” Holman, who is seeking election in November to the newly-created post of 56th District Court judge for Barry County. was guest speaker at the Chamber’s October dinner meeting at the Steakhouse Restaurant. Barry County is currently covered by two judges who are also serve Eaton County. Presently each judge sits only one day per week in Barry County, a situation which had created a crucial problem especially the past two years, said Holman. In 1977 there were 1,4400 criminal cases initiated in Barry County, he said, all of which initially had to come before the District Court. Holman expressed op- timism about improvement in the county’s judicial situation when a full-time Barry County judge take office in January. A resident of Hickory Corners, Homan established and staffed Barry County’s first full-time prosecutor’s office in 1976. He expressed disapproval of “judges who bend over backwards to protect rights of the defentant” with little regard for rights of the victim. Explaining that defendants have an automatic right of appeal and the prosecution does not, Holman said “most judges don’t like to be told theyre wrong.” A judge who makes a decision based on concern about his chances of being reversed by a higher court does a gross injustice to the rest of the community, in­ fringing on the rights of law­ abiding citizens, Holman said. During a brief business meeting, the Chamber members discussed a fund­ raising project to replenish the Christmas Street Decoration Fund following payment for a new decoration recently pur­ chased. John Mason, president, asked the Civic Improvement Committee, headed by Harold Christiansen and including Irene Goodnoe and Richard Kohfeldt, to meet and bring project ideas back to the membership. Copies of the Chamber’s new tourist brouchure of Nashville were distributed to members. Kathy Kelley designed the brochure which was printed by J-Ad Graphics. President Mason advised the group that the 1979 membership drive will begin in November and billings for renewal dues will be sent to members by Sue Hinckley, treasurer. Assisting with the drive will be Membership Committee members, Mary Hecker and Rev. Leonard Putnam. Sandy Kohfeld and Lynn Kelley were appointed by Mason as the November dinner committee. Nashville police have busy month The monthly police ac­ tivity report for September was presented to the Nash­ ville Village Council at their meeting last Thursday by Chief Wilcox and showed a wide variety of complaints handled by the local department. Three property damage accidents were policed by the Nashville Department; they gave three motorist assists (for autos out of gas or broken down); handled one abandonded vehicle, and one abondonded bicycle complaint; had one bicycle reported stolen and a complaint of one auto stolen for joy-riding. The officers issued five moving violations and three repair-and return tickets. The local depart­ ment handled one arson complaint and two malicious destruction of property complaints’, responded to two burglar alarm calls; answered a breaking and entering complaint (nothing taken); handled one com­ plaint of* lost or stolen per­ sonal property; had one simple larceny (fire ex­ tinguisher from ^school buses); and an unfounded complaint of gas larceny at the school bus garage.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) Vol. 104 No. 76 - Wednesday, October 25, 1978 Grant funds discussed for Nashville's proposed new sewer by Susan Hinckley Avenues of financing Nashville’s proposed new sewer collection system and treatment facility were discussed at a “Sewer Grant Workshop” last Thursday evening at village hall. Village President Harold Christiansen and five councilmen, plus a small audience, were present to hear Carl Malsom, a representative of Williams and Works Engineering Firm of Grand Rapids, explain various steps and procedures in applying for grant funds from the Federal Environmental Protection Agency which can pay up to 75 percent of- the cost for grant-eligble portions of the sewer project Malsom said Nashville is currently in position number 55 in a list of 257 Michigan municipalities seeking funds from the EPA for con­ struction of sewer systems. He told the council that the EPA grant of 75 percent could be supplemented with a 5 percent grant from the State of Michigan. Nashville would have to come up with the 20 percent balance of funds needed to install the collection system in granteligible portions of the village. Some areas of the village are considered ineligible for grants and, in those sections, Nashville would have to pay eligible, meaning that Nash­ 100 percent of the cost of ville could receive grants of laying collection sewer lines. 80 percent to cover con­ “Collection systems will struction of those facilities. be considered grant-eligible Collection systems (lines) if they serve an area that are not all grant-eligible, was two-thirds developed as however, but are based on of October 18, 1972,” ex­ the density of homes on any plained Malsom when asked given street. to define the difference • Since Malsom is a grant between eligible and expert, and not an engineer, ineligible portions of the he could not furnish exact village. figurtes to the coucil on what “Also, the EPA grant will the total project will cost. not cover the cost of running However, he said he would service lines to individual attend Thursday’s council homes,” he said. meeting with an engineer Malsom assured the /from the firm and provide council that both the the figures based on current treatment plant and the lift estimated costs.

Malsom said he will also have the necessary design and construction grant applications ready for the council’s signature Thur­ sday evening and will file the papers with the State on Friday. The applications will be certified to the EPA by the State of Michigan. The councilmen discussed means of financing the village’s portion of the total project. Malsom suggested the council file a pre­ application form with the Farmers Hom 6 Ad­ ministration requesting a loan and-or grant. He said in some cases FHA can also, extend grant funds to municiplaities. Eligibility for an FHA grant is determined by the average local income of residents, he explained, and there is no street-eligibility criteria for these funds which could be used in any portion of the village project. Financing Nashville’s portion through a general bond obligation was also discussed. A referendum would be required under this method but the councilmen generally agreed that, in either case, they would seek voter approval before proceeding with the sewer project. M. V.

WCER's Super Ride receives $2,126.40 in pledges for 1978 March of Dimes campaign- Nash defends 'nd' vote on transportation package State Representative Ernie Nash told a Lake Odessa audience, Friday, that he voted against the recently approved transportation package because "the people of my district made it very clear to me that they don’t want this.” ‘ Nash joined State Serr. Robert VanderLaan at a meeting to talk with residents of the area. The session, attended by two dozen people, was held at the Page Building, Lake Odessa's village hall. The state representative said revenues from the gas tax and license fees have been going up every year and he didh't feel the package was needed. Special interest groups who supported the package, he said, did so only after working to ensure it was the best they could get for their causes. The two legislators also touched on the issues of campaign financing, the tax proposals and school financing among other issues. On school financing, Nash said he believes we will se a shift from property tax in the future, whether the voucher proposal passes or not.

The program, which is carried out in a joint effort with the schools in Eaton County and area health professionals is being con- ducted during the month off October. The Grand Ledge Schools will be conducting their own screening program. Students in the 6th grade will be examined at school for the spinal curvature. The examination is done by looking for irregularities Protect Your Highway Dollars Vote YES on Proposition M —Nov. 7— Paid for by the Michigan Trucking Association 501 S. Capitol Ave., Lansing, Michigan 48933 from both the front and side .as the student stands straight and then bends forward. Public Health nurses, school nurses, and physical education teachers will be conducting the examination. Each examination takes about 30 seconds. Spinal deformities often develope during the years of early adolescence, when young people grow very rapidly. If the abnormalities are found in the early stages, they usually can be kept from getting worse and from doing serious damage. Treatment is simple and more effective when the conditions are detected early. By screening students who are in the years of rapid growth, early detection will be possible. Participation in the program is voluntary. It is hoped that most parents will want their children to take part in the screen program. Signs of scoliosis are found in approximately four percent of young people, but continue follow-up or treatment is needed only in about two percent. Treat­ ment, when necessary, usually consists of a back back brace that. helps to correct the condition and keep it from progressing. The brace does not interfere with most activities, in­ cluding non-contact sports. In more advanced cases, surgery is required. Students who are found to have some signs of scoliosis in the October screen will be rescreened in November by Dr. Bernard Siebers, Home Heating - Governor Milliken has signed into law HB Michigan Department of 4142, which allows people to file for an income tax credit Public Health consultant, based on money paid for home heating.

Robert P. Griffin, R-Mich., to grant tax relief to many Michigan farmers who have lost herds to PBB con­ * Lamination has won final congressional approval. The Griffin PBB-aid plan was written into the com­ prehensive tax bill passed by the House and Senate just before adjourning for the year. The Griffin proposal would invalidate current Internal Revenue Service rules that work a hardship on Michigan farmers who have suffered financial losses because of PBB. “As things now stand, if a farmer is reimbursed for losing a herd to PBB, the IRS requires him to pay taxes on that money - unless he uses it to buy more livestock,” said Griffin, Michigan’s senior senator. “But if he buys more livestock, he stands the risk that the new herd will be recontaminated.” Griffin said the amend­ ment would “overrule the bureaucrats” so that a farmer could reinvest any PBB compensation he receives into any farming operation - not just in livestock - without paying taxes on it. “This amendment is vitally important to many Michigan farmers who already have suffered far too much in the PBB tragedy,” he said. Griffin said the unfair tax treatment that Michigan farmers now are being subjected to was brought to his attention by several farmers in the Bad Axe area. He then brought the problem to the attention of the Treasury Department, where officials agreed with Griffin that the law needed changing. Griffin offered the amendment in the Senate, where it was adopted unanimously October 10 and was subsequently approved by the House. The tax bill now goes to President Carter. On October 31, 1977, the Senate unanimously ap­ proved legislation proposed by Griffin to provide some federal financial aid to Continued on page 10 A new look for you for . . the soft casual look from . .

GARY HOLMAN DISTRICT JUDGE Who Says So? “In my may years on the Board of Commissioners in Barry County, I've seen the prosecutor s office grow from two parttime attorneys to a full-time staff of three. "Gary Holman, our first full-time prosecutor, set up this staff, and he did so with no increased burden on local taxes. This was possible only because Gary obtained a grant of several thousand dollars from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration. The new District Judge here must have administrative skill as well as legal skill. Gary has demonstrated both as our first full-time prosecutor. That's why he gets my vote! RUSSELL BENDER County Commissioner For Better Balanced Justice Paid by Committee to Elect Gary Holmon District Judge...15816 M-43, Hickory Comers, Michigan 49060 Production of honey from the State’s commercial apiaries, those with 300 or more colonies, will be up 10 percent from last year if fall conditions are normal, ac­ cording to the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. Beekeepers expect to take 3.6 million pounds of honey this year, compared with 3.3 million pounds last year and 3.2 million pounds in 1976. Commercial apiaries have produced 59 percent of Michigan’s total honey in recent years. With honey extracting in full swing, producers look for an average yield of 65 pounds per colony, 3 pounds more than last year. Yields are widely varied with northern and central areas doing well; ““Thumb Thumb”” and southeastern counties are dry and are short of honey. The September survey showed 55,000 colonies in commercial apiaries. This is up 1,000 from last year, but lower than the 56,000 on hand in 1975. important to us. We are working for their benefits.

The Governor is expected to veto that particular section of the agreement, however, but his veto this time won’t affect funding for the remaining Medicaid services because the welfare abortion section is written into the measure as a separate appropriation. The Legislature will again be taking up the issue of welfare-abortions before the end of this year, but in a totally different bill. Lobbyist Regulation: Final legislative approval was also given during the final hours of the fall session to a measure regulating the activities of lobbyists in our state. As sent to the Governor for his signature, the bill requires lobbyists to register with the state and to file regular reports on their expenditures. It is aimed at guaranteeing our citizens access to in­ formation about how much is being spent by lobbyist to influence the outcome of legislation in the State Capitol. County Sheriffs’ Funding: Another major bill approved by the Legislature this fall will allocate some $8.7 million to county sheriffs to A section of Public Act 136 of 1976 charges the Depart­ ment of Social Services with the responsibility to in­ vestigate all complaints made concerning residents of alternate care facilities, which are comprised of nursing homes, adult foster care homes and homes for the aged.

The measure, which was the result of a compromise worked out between legislative leaders and the Governor, will allow the funds to be awarded to county sheriffs’s depart­ ments on the basis of road mileage and population in their counties. It spfecifically limits the use of these funds to hiring more deputies, purchasing more equipment, setting up vehicle inspection programs, and mounting traffic safety information and education programs. As you can see, the 1978 fall legislative session was indeed a lively and con­ troversial one during which a number of difficult issues were addressed. I would have liked to have seen action on several other issues, particularly prohibiting voluntary quitters from collecting unemployment compensation and revising our state’s no-fault automobile insurance law, but other issues took precedence with a majority of members. My colleagues and I are scheduled to return to the Capitol in mid November for our end-of-year session. I will be pushing for action on these issues at that time. g Nashville, Michigan.

To the Editor, Since reading in a recent Maple Valley News about the difference in what the teachers are demanding and the board’s offer, I have done considerable research. I find that the difference of $8,400 and $39,000 is over and above what the board has alread offered. The $8,400 they could probably meet but $39,000 would probably mean a request for additional millage from the taxpayers. In view of the many recent defects for additional millage, where would that leave the board? It would probably mean the laying off of some employees and discontinuing some programs. The salaries of the teachers range from $9,500 for a beginning teacher with a Bachelor’s degree to $17,752 for a master’s degree with 20 additional credits. The teachers work a total of 184 days, starting at 8:00 a.m. and quitting at 3:40 p.m. In this day they are allowed 1 hour interrupted free time, leaving a total of 6 hours, and 40 minutes work time. If they spend extra time working after school they are paid for it. This includes all coaching, directing of plays, class advisors, chaperoning at school functions, attending school camps etc. The cost of health care and insurance runs from $37.58 to $94.66 per teacher per month, depending on the type of insurance chosen. The district also pays a percentage of their retirement and dental care. Teachers are allowed time off for illness and some for personal reasons. There are nine secretaries employed by the district with salaries ranging from $5,000 to $11,000. Fifteen aides are em­ ployed at a salary range of $3,000 to ,$4,200. These aides are employed chiefly to assist the teachers and to relieve their work load. They do playground and hall supervision, help with, the loading and unloading of the busses and assist the teachers in the classroom. Some of the aides work the same hours as the teachers but a few are employed for just short periods each day. There are 94 teachers in the district. Of these 94, there are 42 who live within the district. These 42 would share the cost, directly or indirectly, if a tax increase were voted in. The other 52 would not share this burden. After the teachers’ con­ tract is settled, there are six administrators who still have not contacts. Many will wonder why I am concerning myself with all this when I no longer have children in school. My husband and I are retired property owners who live on fixed income. I know I speak for all retired people in the area when I say we are feel the pinch of these additional tax increases. We feel that our teachers should be paid a decent salary. However, some of our teachers feel they should be paid the same salary as the teachers of Charlotte, Edton Rapids and Hastings. They have lost sight of the fact that we do not have the industry for a tax base that these cities have. Most of our taxes come directly from property owners. To many of our retired residents this has become a definite hardship. Since we have elected these people who are representing us on the school board, why not give them a little support instead of all of property taxes to finance the operational cost of public K12 education. 3. Requires that the Michigan Legislature establish a program of general state taxation to implement the above. In 1970 Michigan voted overwhelmingly to prohibit public aid to non-public schools and students. The sponsors of Proposal H are trying to buy our vote by linking the elimination of school property tax with aid to non-public schools and students. I urge that you be aware of the total contents of Proposal u Sincerely Stephen A. Hayden this harassment? They are spending long hours, at very little pay, trying to resolve these differences. By careful planning and budgeting they have succeeded in building up a reserve in our finances. Is it wise to wipe out this reserve in one big sweep? Isn’t it wiser to be prepared for some emergency situation which may well arise after the results of the election are known in November? Thank you, Clara L. Liebhauser 619 Reed St. Nashville, Mi. Letter to the Editor Can you tell me why the minutes of the Maple Valley School Board meeting as they were printed in your paper did not include all the business brought before the board. I’m referring to the question asked by one of the board members which basically was, “Why were class rings being bought from a more expensive company when they could be bought at less expense to the students and parents with as good or better quality?” The answer given by the prin­ cipal was basically that it was more convenient for him. How many other such items are brought up at Board meetings that are of direct interest to parents and .or their pocketbooks, that are not mentioned in the newspaper reports. Personally, I do not wish to pay extra for my childs class ring. The principal is payed a salary to act in the best interest of the students, not what is convenient for him. TotheEditor: Voters: Please look for the County Referendum at the end of the ballot proposals at the November election. The Michigan Constitution and related laws allow for the distribution of 15 mils of property tax among local units of government. The distribution is to determine by the County Tax Allocation Board or by a vote of the people. At the request of the Eaton County Tax Allocation Board and the concurrance of the County Commissioners, the following will appear on the ballot on November 7: County Referendum Shall separate tax limitations be established for A concerned parent To the Editor: I am writing to encourage the voters to make every effort at understanding the ramifications of the various ballot proposals presented on November 7. I am specifically con­ cerned that the voters un­ derstand that Proposal H has three destinct segments. Proposal H 1. Provides an educational voucher to be used by the parent to purchase their children’s education at any approved public or private school in Michigan. 2’. Prohibits the use of an indefinite period, or until altered by the voters of the County, for the County of Eaton and the Townships and School Districts within the County, the aggregate of which shall not exceed 15.0 mills. County of Eaton-5.5 mills, Townships-1.0 mills, In­ termediate School District0.2 mills, School Districts (a schoold district located entirely within a City or Charter Township shall receive in addition millage equal to the township millage). Total 15.0 Passage of this County Tax Limitation proposal would: 1. Allow governmental units to plan effectively, with revenue date known at budget time. 2. Maintain the property tax distribution - as it has been since 1975, 3. not increase nor decrease your property taxes. On behalf of the 1978 Eaton County Tax Allocation Board, I urge a yes vote on the County Tax Limitation Proposal. Sincerely Steuhen A. Hayden, Chairman Eaton Co.

Paving of the parking area will be done soon, before the severe winter weather sets in. It is expected that the first structure, housing 16 apartments, will be done in two months and the second, also housing 16 apartments, will be completed in six months. All framing-in should be completed prior to winter, according to Tim Boucher, partner in B. & B. Development Company which is developing the 32 unit project.

The owner said the ten-speed bike had apparently been taken sometime between 8 and 9 p.m. Friday evening. On Sunday afternoon, Long received a report of another missing bicycle. The second bike, also a ten-speed, had apparently been taken from a garage at a Middle Street residence sometime Saturday evening.

Engineer John Kraus and Carl Malsom, a grants consultant, were present at the meeting to represent Williams and Works Engineering Company of Grand Rapids. The men presented plans to the council for approval but NASHVILLE VFW 8260 and AUXILIARY PENNY SUPPER HAM ANO TURKEY SAT., NOV. 4 PUBLIC INVITED...SERVING 5 P.M. to 7 P.M. were advised that certain portions of the village in­ cluded in their plans had been deleted from the project last April by the previous council, An ap­ parent lack of com­ munication between the council and engineering firm resulted in several grantineligible areas of the village being drawn into the project plans. The village plans to seek a 75 percent federal EPA grant and a 5 percent state WRC grant to cover con­ struction of the proposed new waste water collection system, lift stations, and treatment facility to be located on Brumm Road (Greggs Crossing). The plans presented by Kraus and Malsom also included rehabilitation of some existing sewer lines at the cost of over $30,000, bringing their total proposed project to $3,936,105. “Revising the paperwork (for the grant applications) will not be that much work,” said Malsom when asked by the council to delete the ineligible portions, “but getting the EPA and the State to go along with it will be the next thing.” He said costs and plans will be revised and presented to the council again in November. Malsom and Krause estimated the Eaton Federal Savings & Loan INTRODUCES savings to the village, which must bear 20 percent of the grant-eligible costs, would be $160,000. The new treatment plant and lift stations are con­ sidered totally granteligible, meaning that Nashville could receive grants of 80 percent to cover construction of those facilities. The collection system (lines) are not all grant-eligible, however, but are based on the density of homes on any given street in the village. “Collection systems will be considered grant-eligible if they serve an area that Community School Drops and Adds Some very small class sizes and new courses requirements have caused a few program changes for the Fall 1978 Adult Community Class offerings at Maple Valley Schools.

We took a giant step back in the 1870’s and all the lively fun of Silver Dollar City-32 pioneer crafts in action, live mountain music, colorful characters, entertainment, exciting rides, attractions, Marvel Cave, and funnel cake. We enjoyed the 15-mile Sammy Lane Pirate Cruise on Lake Taneycomo, Missouri’s oldest man-made lake, and saw unspoiled Ozark countryside. We lunched at the School of the Ozarks, a 4-year accredition liberal arts college principally run by students in return for room and board. On the campus we visited the Ralph Foster Museum, known as the “Smithsonian of the This Weeks SPECIAL YELLOW DELICIOUS APPLES ’3.501». Freedom Road 201 AAA1N STREET Nashville, Mich. Phone: 726-0330 /fancy BEAUTY SHOP 157 South Main Vermontville, Mich. Ozarks”, and it surely is a broad sweep of the history of man in the Ozarks. We saw the beautiful Gothic Williams Memorial Chapel. The woodwork and pews were made in the school’s furniture factory where students are em­ ployed. The stained glass windows were imported from Austria. We had a train tour of the campus and stopped to tour the Edwards Mill where natural whole grain products are ground on stone buhrs powered by a 14-ft. waterwheel. This student-industry project provides practical learning for the students. They also have a large herd of Holstein cows cared for by students in a practical learning project. In the evening we attend the Bob O’ Links Country Music Comedy Show with a cast of many talents playing music, singing, and dancing. A trip to Mutton Hollow was interesting; we watched Grandpaw make candy and visited other stores. We took the farm tour at “The Shepherd of the Hills Farm” in a open jeep-drawn train over the famous trail that is nobody-knows-howold to Old Matt’s Cabin, Little Pete’s Cave, In­ spiration Point and other places made famous in the novel by Harold Bell Wright. “The Sheperd of the Hills” is the fourth most popular book in publishing history. We visited the Memorial Museum which houses collections of famous Ozark people. The Mary Trimble doll dispay is outstanding. In the evening we saw the play “The Shepherd of the Hills’’ in the Old Mill Theater, an outdoor theater which seats 2,800 people with a stage more than 100 yards long. The novel from which the play was taken, was written by Harold Bell Wright when he spent eight summers camping and writing in the Ozarks. His camping site was named Inspiration Point The setting of the drama is Old Matt’s grist mill and sawmill on the Old Trail in Mutton Hollow neigh­ borhood, deep in the heart of the beautiful Ozarks. The story takes place in late August 1902, the year of the great drought in the Ozarks. It had not rained since April. As the play begins Old Matt, Young Matt, and a few hands are working around the mill. Old Matt and his wife, Mollie, are planning a party later in the evening for all the neighborhood since it may be the last opportunity for freinds to get together before the drought forces many of them to leave the Ozarks. Tiny, wireless microphones worn by the cast and monitored from a control room . give sterophonic reality to tender conversations and whispered confessions. Every word would be clearly heard. The cast is over 100 local people, many who also work for the Farm. Also there were dozens of horses, wagons, and sheep. Add at least one moutain brawl, a posse raid, and the actual burning of a log cabin. The evening was im­ mensely enjoyed. Of course we enjoyed shopping at South Carolina Outlet, Ozarkland, and many gift shops. The weather was beautiful with the sun shinning every day to make our trip most enjoyable. the Whole Phone 945-9554 for Want-Ads VOTE FOR Keady to pour slab at senior citizen complex Workmen at the site of the senior citizen complex under construction on Lentz Street in Nashville say they will be ready to pour the concrete slab for the building this week and hope to begin "roughing in" the building the following week. Hecker says all village employees should be given equal consideration The following is the entire context of William Hecker’s letter of resignation which he submitted to the Nashville Village Council last week: Gentlemen: Pursuant to the general discussion regarding changes of job status and individual increases of wages, I am in agreement with the request from the DPW for more money because I feel that, they are doing excellent job and they deserve a raise in pay. However, it would seem that all Village employees should be given equal con­ sideration. After the past six months of working very closely with the Police Department, I find that this Village has been receiving more than their moneys worth from these gentlemen, Hear ‘College Week’ capsules Tuesday, November 14- as they have not only complied 100 percent with recommendations made to them by the Police Com­ mittee and myself, but they have also put in many hours of overtime with no ad­ ditional pay. As long as this Council does not feel that the people of Nashville are entitled to the quality of police protection which warrents like remuneration, I feel that our lines of thought are too far apart on such important matters, and any further contribution on my part to the affairs of the Village would be a complete waste of time. Therefore, effective this date, I am submitting my resignation to Mr. Christiansen. Each year during Ex­ Baptist Church on South tension’s College Week for Cochran in Charlotte.

Huntley Is An Experienced Choice For District Judge Vote For Experience Now in his 14th year as a practicing attorney, John F. Huntley has repre­ sented clients in hundreds of civil and criminal cases at every state level, from District to Supreme Court. He has handled cases which range from the simple formality to the heavily contested, has acted as Special Prosecuting Attorney on Court appoint­ ment, as well as defense attorney. Huntley has dealt with people on every social and economic level, which has helped him understand and respect many people with differing points of view. “Every aspect of the legal-judicial system,” says Huntley, “is fundamentally human, and all of us, including judges, must remember it. I believe I can.” In the public service, Huntley acted as an attorney for the Barry County Depart­ ment of Social Services and shaped a program that, due to its success, became a Department of Health, Education and Welfare model for similar programs nationwide. Vote For Fairness And Objectivity The most important attribute of any judge is objectivity. In Huntley’s own words: “The most laudable objective of the law is the lending of certainty, predictability, and fairness to the complex endeavors of man. It should attempt no more than this, except in times of extraordinary need. “As for the judicial system, it must share the same objective since it is, for most people, the essence of what law is all about. Even the criminal aspects of the legal-judicial system are, ideally, directed to lending certainty, predictability and fairness to life.” This I believe I can do. I certainly want to do so. “The District Court is the first court with which the normal citizen has any contact. While the court must often deal very firmly with those before it, those citizens should always leave with the feeling that, firm or no, it was fair and proper. “Remembering that the court belongs to all of us, it must be equally available to all of us, whether the cause be large or small.” Vote For Understanding Huntley was brought up with a pro­ found belief in and respect for the law. His father, J. Franklin Huntley, was Barry County Prosecuting Attorney for 15 years. z John F. Huntley has clear ideas about the role of a District Judge. “... many things happen so fast that we often fail to understand their signifi­ cance. However, no one shouldjeave the courtroom with that feeling. The court­ room, after all, belongs to all of us, whether accuser or accused, whether Plaintiff or Defendant. The courts must not only deal fairly with people, but try to convey a feeling pf fairness as well. Married, father of two, John F. Huntley is an experienced choice for District Judge. A University of Michigan Law school graduate admitted to the Bar in 1965, Huntley has the sound legal education needed to fulfill the District Court obligations. He has the courtroom experience. He has an abiding respect for the law, and a deep understanding of the people and the concerns of Barry County. John F. UNTLE bV Paid for by Huntley for District Judge Committee. P.O. Box 268.

Wednesday, November 1, 1978 *• Page 10 Vermontville News By Mrs. Ava Kroger We are sorry to learn of the bad fire Wendesday night at the home of the Methodist minister Rev. Gerald Salisbury who lives on Spicerville Highway. The fire was discovered by their daughter-in-law who lives near by. Rev and Mrs. Salisbury were away so it had quite a start before being discovered. I un­ derstand the kitchen was a complete loss and the entire house was badly damaged by smoke. Rev. Salisbury was unable because of the smoke inhalation to conduct the services Sunday and Rev. John Bullock of Eaton COUNTY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT NO. 7 Castleton & Maple Grove TOWNSHIPS Two years ago my opponent stated in his ad, that I had not done my committee work during 1975-76. To set the record straight I must say that during my term the court house was given a new roof and new cupulo. The new roof was needed during the time Mr. Bell was chairman of the Property Committee 1971 thru 1974 and through is neglect of duty the new roof cost much more, after attempts to repair the roof failed to stop it from leaking. The Baptist Church property was made ready for the Health Department (2 floors at rear) during my term, at an expense of over $20,000. The specifications and architects plans werer drawn up during my term, and advertised for bids, for the two floors of the church, for Probate and District Courts. When the bids were opened one was for $110,000 plus, but was not accompanied by deposit, as stated in the ad. The second bid was for $142,000 and accompanied by bid deposit. The contractor was killed by airplane accident shortly there after. I suggested to the Board of Commissioners, that bids should be advertised again. However, they took no action. My opponent blamed me for not having the work done. No property committee has the power to let any work be done without the approval of the board. In the recent primary election, the voters were asked to assume 2 mills for county road repair and maintenance on primary and secondary roads. This would not have been necessary had not the new board in January of 1977 recinded the action taken in December of 1976 by the board that I was a member of. We voted $100,000 of Revenue Sharing Funds and additional funds for bridge repair and replacement. The entire 16 townships primary and secondary roads were in need of this money as cost today, from everything from gas, blades and bolts have increased in cost. The travel on the roads has increased with heavier school buses, larger farm equipment, milk trucks and other non farm use. My position at the time this money was voted, was that the 16 townships were just as important a segment of the over all county economy, as the City of Hastings and the airport. I believe the new board should discontinue buying any more real estate for any purpose whatever and make principal payments as fast as possible, on the long te^m deft, on the original jail lockup. It now costs the county $36,800 per year, to retire these bonds and they run 14 more years. Most of this payment is interest, and it can be saved only by paying principal as fast as possible. During my two years on the Commission my per diem came to $1500 and $1600 per year. None of this I would accept, as I am on Social Security and this would cause me to lose some of the money that I have contributed in Social Security taxes.

Home Heating - Governor Milliken has signed into law HB 4142, which allows people to file for an income tax credit based on money paid for home heating, credits range form $200 to $370, figured in the same manner as the present property tax credit. Liquor* Veto - The Governor has vetoed HB 4448, which would have in­ creased the price of bottled liquor by some 20 percent. The increase had been asked to help cover liquor dealers’ rising costs; the Governor said it was not justified. Lobbying Bill - One of our newest law.s is SB 764, which requires registration by all persons who lobby before the legislative or executive branches of government, prohibits loans and large gifts from lobbyists to public officials, and requires disclosure of lobbying ex­ penses over $150 per year per official. It is the first tightening of lobbying laws in 30 years. Coast Guard - The U.S. Coast Guard Academy is now accepting applications from men and women bet­ ween 17 and 22 for 1979.

Good Samaritans Another new is HB 5738, which expands the “Good Samaritan Law” to include restaurants, owners and their employees with im­ munity from civil lawsuits when aid is given to anyone When Governor Milliken promises jobs ... ...He delivers The Promise: “I have maintained an unwavering commitment to preserving and improv­ ing the quality of life of our smaller communities. Throughout my career, that commitment continues whether it is in pursuit of balanced growth, saving the railroads or building better roads J.' The Performance: Many of Michigan’s smaller towns and townships are ex­ periencing unprecedented population gains and com­ munity growth. The state's total transportation net­ work, especially in provid­ ing bus systems for rural areas, is regarded as a model which other states are following. Halloween masks can be hazardous Halloween masks can be a hazard, warns the Michigan Optometric Association. According to Dr. James M. Flynn, president of the organization, masks can slip out of place or have such small eye holes that they block a child’s view of ap­ proaching cars, objects on the ground, steps, curbs and holes in lawns or streets. “A safe alternative to masks to to use non-allergic makeup to disguise your child for Halloween fun,” Dr. Flynn said. He added that the makeup should be ap­ plied by an adult to avoid accidents with makeup applicators. The Westland optometristalso pointed out that some simple costume decorating tricks can help protect children from accidental injury by making them safely visible to drivers. “Adding retro-reflective material to a costume is the easiest and best way to in­ crease its visibility to safe levels,” Dr. Flynn said. According to optometric studies, the material makes pedestrians safely visible to drivers traveling even at the excessive speeds of 70 and 80 m.p.h. The retro-reflective material can be purchased in iron-on, sew-on and stick-on varieties in most hardware and department stores. It should be applied to the front, sides and back of the costume, Dr. Flynn said. The optometrist also reminded parents to have their child’s eyes examined regularly. “Poor vision can be a handicap, not only at Halloween but throughout the year, Dr. Flynn said. who may be choking. This is intended to protect people who come to the aid of others and are acting in good faith to help save a life. Car Buying? The Michigan Consumers Council has published an informative sheet offering advice on what to do and look for when buying a new car. For a free copy of “How to Shop for a New Car,” write the Council at 414 Hollister Building, 106 W. Allegan, Lansing, MI 48933. College Measles - A recent rise in outbreaks of measles on college campuses has prompted the State Health Director to initiate a college­ level immunization effort. Most of the student infected today have never been immunized, although their parents had thougth they were. Hunting Land - Privatelyowned forest land totalling 1,250,000 acres, 97 percent of which is in the U.P., is open to hunting this under the State commercial Forest Act. A complete list of available lands ma'y be obtained from your nearest DNR forester. The Promise: “We will make the streets and our homes safe for everyone." The Performance: 475,000 more persons in Michigan have jobs today because Milliken has been doing his The Promise: “Until all citizens of this state are provided with an opportunity to hold a job, the creation of additional permanent employment will be my administration's number one priority." The Performance: Michigan's economy is on the move. Unemployment has dropped sharply and 475,000 more people are working today than were working four years ago. Michigan's gross state product, which reflects busi­ ness activity, has increased from $61.5 billion in 1974 to $84.7 billion in 1977. Gov­ ernor Milliken has worked effectively to bring new busi­ ness to Michigan and to help existing industries expand in our state. Governor Milliken has moved quickly and decisively to cut crime. He has firmly supported a strong State Police and ordered more State Police onto highcrime areas on the state's freeways and highways. In the past two years, across Michigan there have been 100,000 fewer violent crimes reported. The Promise: “Just as a family must live within its means, govern­ ment, too, must not spend more than it collects in revenues." The Performance: Michigan has gone seven years without a general tax increase and has been liv­ ing within the limits pro­ posed in the tax limitation proposal which Milliken supports. Milliken ...

"Clearly, people in the 3rd District are worried about inflation and high taxes,” Congressman Brown stated. “They're concerned whether they can make ends meet, whether they can afford a decent home, whether they can send their kids to college and — after a lifetime of saving*— whether they can even afford to retire." Here are a few questions voters are asking this year: Taxes Question: What can be done to provide tax relief? Congressman Brown: "Congress made a good start earlier this month by passing an $18.7 billion tax cut, the largest in our history. Three-fourths of this will go to individuals. In addition, I support the following: 1) the Roth-Kemp bill, which would cut federal income taxes by one-third over the next three years: 2) a one-year delay in implementation of the huge Social Security payroll tax increase; 3) the Headlee tax limitation proposal; 4) further efforts to change the current federal income tax set-up, which automatically pushes people into higher tax brackets when they get a raise to keep pace with the cost of living." Inflation Energy Question: What can be done to control inflation? Congressman Brown:. "Excessive government spending is to blame for recent inflation. We need representatives in Washington whose records prove they’ll stand up to the big spenders who've dominated Congress in recent years. The federal budget for fiscal ’79 contains a $38.8 billion deficit and undoubtedly will fuel still more inflation. Democrats, by a margin of more than 5-1, voted for the budget; all but seven Republicans joined me in voting against this additional deficit. I’ve been awarded the ‘Watchdog of the Treasury' award again this year in recognition of my efforts to hold down spending.” Question: What are your views on energy? Congressman Brown: “As a member of the joint House-Senate Energy Committee, I played a key role in shaping the energy package which Congress approved October 15. That bill does a good job of providing incentive to save oil and gasoline through such measures as tax credits for home insulation; solar, space .and hot water heating, and windmills. However, we, as a country, must do more to develop new sources of energy if we’ re to meet our long-term demands. We need to encourage development of solar and geothermal energy, solid waste recovery and gasohol, which also could benefit farmers by opening up new grain markets."

Lakeview left no doubt as to why they were league leaders after Tuesday’s visit. They jumped out to a 14-8 first quarter lead and never let the Lions get close. The Lions were in foul trouble most of the night. That combined with a poor field goal shooting per­ centage spelled disaster for the Lionettes. MV was deated 51-35. Kaye Hughes provided the scoring punch for the Lions scoring 14 points. Thursday’s contest was an exciting one which had a little of everything. Carson City came ready to play and lost no time getting the ball into their 6‘0” center Karen Galbraith. Maple Valley was able to contain the rest of the Eagle squad but not her as Karen poured in 33 points for the night. The contest was a see-saw battle from the start with free-throws playing the most important part. MV shot 16 of 23 and Carson City 20 of 33 .which spelled the difference in the loss as both squads netted 21 field goals. Cathy Kraai played her best defense game but drew tour fouls the first half. Sophomore Diane Cook was called onto add punch to the Lion offense and ‘hit 4 of 5 from the floor for a total of 8 points for night. Turnovers proved costly to the Lions as they were forced to play rugged defense in order to stay close. MV J.V.'s record third SHUTOUT!

Carson City was unable to score again and the game was tied. The Lions jumped off to a 56-54 lead at the beginning of the overtime but missed a chance to increase the lead at the free-throw line. Carson City scored 3 more points at the free-throw line before MV had their chance at the charity stripe. Julie Barlow added to her scoring by sinking both to make the score 59-58 in the Eagles favor. Valley turnovers in the overtime cost them the victory, as Carson City gained possession of the ball with only seconds remaining. They converted their last two free-throws and won the game 61-58. Cinda Murphy helped keep Lion hopes alive by pulling in 19 rebounds. Julie Barlow scored high for the Lions with 13 points. She combined with Carmaine Janousek to create a defensive threat.

Activity Account There were thirty-eight separate accounts held in trust at the close of the year amounting to $ 19,733.01. General receipts during the year amounted to $ 89,686.81 compared with expenditures of $ 91,388.37 The school district ended the school year June 30 , 1978 in good financial condition with a cash balance of $ 429,012 including the petty cash fund. During the past year the amount of taxes receivable decreased from $ 135,654 to $ 8,480 which actually resulted in the increased cash balance. General indications are that the cash balance will be reduced during the 1978-79 school year. It is recommended that the financial condition of the school district be reviewed closely in the spring prio r to the time of voting on operational millage considering that the current fourteen mills extra voted expires with the December 1978 levy. If your feet are cold, put your hat on. If that doesn’t work, look to your footgear. “Your feet and your head are probably the two most important parts of the body to keep warm,” says Paid Risk, Michigan State University Extension specialist in park and recreation resources. “Even at relatively high tem­ peratures around 40 degrees the average person loses 50 percent of the heat his body produces if his head is uncovered. At 5 degrees F, you lose 75 per­ cent. Oftentimes, covering your head to conserve that heat will enable you to warm your own feet” ' That’s not to say that it doesn’t matter what kind of footwear you choose for outdoor activities in cold weather, Risk notes. Selecting footgear appropriate to your activity is very important rtant in keeping you comfortable. The best type of boot for you depends largely on whether you’ll be moving around a lot, or staying relatively still, Risk says. Boots for hiking and snowshoeing, for instance, need not be so thickly in­ sulated as boots for snowmobiling or icefishing, hiking boots need gripper soles of some sort and better foot support. “The ice fisherman needs a boot primarily for in­ sulation,” Risk points out. “All it has to do is keep his feet warm and dry while he’s sitting or standing on the ice. A hiking boot, on the other hand, needs to support the foot and ankle and provide good traction and protection against briars. It should also be waterproof and well enough insulated to keep the fee dry and warm.” Boots are avilable with leather, nylon and rubber uppers and a wide variety of sole materials and textures, Risk observes. Leather, lace-up boots were generally designed for use under moderate temperatures. Those with nylon uppers and rubber soles tend to be warmer, but they’re a little floppy for snowshoeing and similar activities. “Right now it’s a status thing to wear ankle-high mountaineering boots,” Risk observes. “They have cleated soles, which are good for clinging to narrow ledges, but their stell shank makes them too inflexible for comfortable hiking. Th£y’re also very heavy and not insulated well enough for cold weather use.” One of the warmest boots around is the “Mickey Mouse” boot worn by U.S. troops in Korea. These boots are so heavily insulated that it doesn’t matter that the wearer’s feet get soaked with perspiration. With any other boot, wet feet means cold feet. “Moisture transfers heat away from the body much faster than air at the same temperature,” Risk explains. “It also fills up the pores in insulating material, replacing pockets of air in the material with pockets of water. The more a boot acts like a vapor barrier and prevents moisture from escaping, the more likely it is that your feet Will get wet and cold.” Anyone planning to be active outdoors in cold weather should carry at least one extra pair of felt inner boots and a change of socks, Risk advises. Being able to exchange wet ones for dry can make the dif­ ference between warm, comfortable feet and cold feet or even frostbite. For good traction, Risk recommends clrots over any other type of sole. “It’s like the difference between snow tires and slicks,” he says. He does not recommend corrugated soles. The crosswise ridges allow the foot to slip sideways. Ankle-high boots are probably high enough for most people under normal conditions, he says. Higher boots may be necessary for keeping snow out or protecting the leg against briars or other hazards. If snow is your only worry, he suggests buying a pair of waterproof gaiters to wear over short boots. When buying boots, as any other footwear, be sure to wear the socks you plan to use with them when you try them on. Two pair are usually recommended: a thin cotton sock with a thick wool one over it. Two socks help insulate the foot and minimize blistering - they will move against each other so the boot doesn’t rub against the foot. Because these fibers are absorbent they also help to keep the foot dry. Treat new leather boots with Bear Grease or some other waterproofer, Risk advises. Rub it into the leather by hand, con­ centrating on the seams and the junction between the upper and the sole. Then warm the boots near a heat register in a very low oven so the grease will melt and soak in; “Water proofing is really a compromise measure,” Risk notes. “It keeps snow from soaking through, but it also limits the leather’s ability to let the moisture inside out.” One final note: there is no such thing as “a boot for all seasons,” Risk says. A boot that is comfortable in winter will be too hot in summer. A summer boot may keep you reasonably warm in cold weather as long as you’re active, but as soon as you stop moving, you’re going to get cold.

William G. Milliken said today that if the Senate passes tne $168 million comprehensive transportation package now under consideration, Barry County will receive more than $388,000 in additional funds each year for county roads, city and village streets. “Road construction and maintenance costs are in­ creasing about 10 percent a year while revenues from the fuel and weight taxes are declining. If Michigan is to maintain its major highways and farm to market roads, it is important that adequate funds for repair and rebuilding be made available now,” Milliken said. “This package has clear benefits for Barry County. Its passage will assure continued economic growth throughout Michigan..” M Milliken said that upon approval of the comprehensive transportation package, Barry County would begin receiving an additional $329,000 a year for county roads. Hastings would receive $35,000 additional, Freeport $4,000 additional Middleville $9,700 additional, Nashville $8,700 additional and Woodland $2,350 additional. The new state revenues would bring total revenues available to the county and its municipalities to $1,904,000 annually. The transportation package will also assure continued service on the Grand Rapids to Ver­ montville rail line which operates under a $926,000 state subsidy arrangement part of a 34.3 million program to continue and improve rail freight service. Hastings would be eligible to establish urban bus ser­ vice under a $38,000 state grant. The small bus program, which now provides service to .elderly and handicappers, would be eligible for $110,700 in capital grants for additional equipment and $207,000 in operating assistance over the next three years. Intercity passenger ser­ vice, provided by North Star , would improve under the state’s $6.4 million equipment acquisition program.

If passed, they will result in a cut in property taxes and a reduction in local government revenue while preventing a shift to other sources without voter approval. By passage of E, H, and J our govern­ ment will be required to function in a responsible fiscal framework, and that will force drastic reduction in government waste and government luxury at your expense and without your approval. Passage of E, H and J will also prevent the continued ex­ pansion of State government spen­ ding. The Constitutional Conven­ tion question is a real puzzler. There has been no real need projected, ex­ cept to spend 40 million or more of our tax dollars. Of course, if the tax limitation amendments pass, then the Constitution could possibly be altered to negate the will of the people.

Don't be misled by opponents of tax limitations. If you look seriously at the opposition, you will notice it comes from the very segment of our society that profits from growing tax­ es. That number is growing each year. For instance: the number of State employees has increased 50% in the last ten year period, while the total population has increased only 6.75%. Total state and local TAXES have increased 250%, while personal income in Michigan has increased on­ ly 130%. During the same period, 1966 to 1976, Michigan property taxes increased 140% and are still rising. Michigan taxes.

Garry Brown, (R), 3rd Dist., Michigan, has earned the “Guardian of Small Business Award” presented by the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB). Rep. Brown qualified for the NFIB “Guardian” award by voting in favor of small business 87 percent of the time during the 95th Congress. NFIB president Wilson S. Johnson, in conferring the award on Rep. Brown noted: “We initiated our rating system to give special recognition to those legislators who support small business and to make sure that small business owners know how their legislators represented them in Congress.” “NFIB and its more than 540,000 member firms nationwide regard a 70 percent or higher rating on key small business issues as worthy of the ‘Guardian’ award,”* Johnson said. “Too many legislators go back home claiming to support small business simply because they voted for an appropriations bill for the Small Business Ad­ ministration (SBA). We feel our membership deserves to know how their Congressman voted on each of the issues which are of direct importance to small business.” NFIB, the nation’s largest small business organization, is nonprofit and nonpartisan. National senior citizens organization endorses BrownThe National Alliance of Senior Citizens today en­ dorsed the candidacy of Congressman Garry Brown for re-election to the United States House of Represen­ tatives. In announcing the organization’s support, Alliance President, Mrs. Virginia Aubrey, said, “Garry Brown has served senior America well, working to limit the disastrous ravages of in­ flation on fixed incomes, to end the terrifying crime against the elderly, and to end the repressive ‘earnings limit’ against Social Security recipients. “Congressman Brown’s outstanding score of 92 percent on the Fourth Annula Golden Age Index clearly demonstrates his determinatio to support those policies in the best interests of older Americans,” continued the senior citizens leader?

Nashville native operates nations only computerized nutritional program for cattleStory by Susan Hinckley A Nashville native now living in Goshen, Indiana, was , featured in the November 6th issue of Time Magazine. A photo and report on Marvin Marshall, son of Mrs. Bernece Mar­ shall of Barryville Road and the late Earl Marshall, was included in the cover story about Pat Benedict of Minnesota as “The New U.S. Farmer”:. The Economy and Business report tells of many revoluntionary technological changes affecting the business of farming and points out various forms of agricultural science new being used by farmers. Nashville native Marvin Marshall (right) is shown in his computer van as cows sample computerized feed formula calculated by him. This photo was featured in the November 6 issue of Time Magazine. (Time Magazine photo by Marc Pokempner) Polls are open till 8 p.m. tonight Remember to get out and vote today for your favorite candidates and to express your opinions on the 11 state proposals. Castleton Township Supervisor Justin Cooley, shown in the photo, expects a heavy turnout of voters. The complete wording of the proposals are posted inside voting booths and are also posted on the wall of the township hall hall. (Maple Valley News photo) Stressing the value of computers in the operation of large farms, Time Magazine reports on page 102: “Researchers are talking about having computers monitor the internal workings of cattle, so that farmers could calculate better how to fatten them. The computers could read radio-telemetry signals on body temperature, heart­ beat, and respiration rates from transmitters swallowed by cows or carried on backpacks. Already, an electronic en­ trepreneur named Marvin Marshall tours the dairylands of Illinois, In­ diana, Michgan and Ohio in a Ford Econoline van packed with IBM computer equipment. In two hours we will analyze a farmer’s dairy cows and whip out a formula for feed calulated to permit each beast to produce the maximum amout of milk while remaining in glowing health.” On page 94 of_ the magazine, Marvin is shown in a color photo which also gives a good view of the equipment contained in the interior of his van. Included in the picture is Marvin’s wife, a farm couple, and several cattle. Marvin’s mother says he first conceived the idea for the computer van system last fall and started operation early this year under the name of V.A.N. Car, Inc., a business owned solely by Marvin and his wife. The couple has five children. Mrs. Marshall said her son uses such information as the measurement, weight, and blood sample of a cow and sample of feed to obtain statistices needed to analyze the cattle with his computer system. Marvin is able to arrive at the particualr nutritional need for each cow throught this process. The program is a continuing service which Marvin fur­ nishes the farmers on a periodical basis, so that his custom blended pre-mixes and supplemen‘3 are always up-to-d ' with the cattle’s needs. Marshall, 37, is a 1960 graduate of Nashville High School. A Goshen, Indiana, newspaper recently reported that,'as far as they could determine, Marvin is the only person in the nation operating such a service. It was following that report, says his mother, that Newsweek and Time magazines both contacted him for interviews. Teachers continue to negotiateRepresentatives of the Maple Valley teachers and the Board of Education will be meeting on Tuesday November 7 at 8 p.m. to continue negotations. The two sides talked in­ formally after last Tuesday’s school board meeting, and this meeting was scheduled as a result of those talks. Teachers are hopeful of a settlement at this meeting. Maple Valley teachers would like to thank the community for their interest in and support of the Maple Valley Schools. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday, November 8,1978 - Page 2 Nashville News By Mrs. Ray Hinckley Remember to vote in the general election today. Polls opened at 7 a.m. and will remain open this evening until 8 p.m. Due to the lengthy ballot confronting Michigan residents, election officials are encouraging voters to study the various issues and candidates before leaving home, record decisions on a slip of paper and carry their notations into the voting booth for reference. This effort will help eliminate a long wait for others in the voting line and will also lessen confusion for the voter when he enters the booth. State voters will be facing eleven ballot proposals, a record number for one election in Michigan. Although there is a legal two-minute limit for each voter which can be enforced by election officials, Mrs. Norman (Barbara) Sandbrook, chairperson of the Castleton Township election board, ad­ vises that “everyone will be allowed a reasonable time to complete their vote.” Visiting at the home of Mrs. Grady (Anna) Cornett of Thornapple Lake Road is her stepdaughter, Mrs. Virginia Wurth, of Vestal, New York. Virginia arrived last week and is here for a two-weeks stay.

The Nashville Police Department handled two such calls recently. Officer Art Long was called at 9:30 p.m. last week Saturday to police a car-deer collison which happened on M-66 one-half mile south of Thornapple Lake Road. Last Monday morning Officer Gene Koetje was called to a similar complaint when an auto struck a deer on M-66 one-half mile south of Bayne Road.

Diane Andrews, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe (Marge) Andrews of rural Nashville, returned home from Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo last week after undergoing spinal surgery on October 16th for scoliosis. She is in a heavy body cast now and must remain confined to it for the next six months when she will receive a shorter body cast. Diane expects to be in the lighter cast for a period of three months. Scoliosis, the condition from which Diane suffered, is receiving widespread attention lately, her father reports. Barry and Eaton County school recently implemented a screening program for sixth-grade students to detect early signs of the condition which is an abnormal curvature or rotation of the spine. The ages of 10 to 15 are the prime years for development of the condition which is found more often in girls than boys and affects about four precent of the general population. Early detection can lead to early ' treatment to prevent serious damage to to the spine. Mr. Andrews said he learned that pressure on the heart and lungs can develop if the condition is left unchecked. Nashville sixth-graders just completed the screening program, conducted by the Barry-Eaton District Health Department. Treatment for the condition can be bracing and exercises with surgery required in occasional cases. The detection program will hopefully eliminate the chance of the condition advancing to that point. An industrial show hosted by McCormick Industries at Chicago was of special interest to Dave Murphy of Nashville and Don Duits of Coats Grove Road, who made a business trip there last Wednesday to investigate acquisition of a packaging machine for use at the EBI Breakthrough plant in Lake Odessa. Mrs. Rena Dawson of Nashville enjoyed a recent visit from Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence LeCureux of Port Richey, Florida. The LeCureux’ were former neighbors of Mrs. Dawson when she lived in Florida.

The Education Committee of the Nashville United Methodist Church will meet at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, November 8th, at the church. Because Nashville now has two police cars, a primary and secondary unit, there has been some recent confusion resulting in citizens complaints that the Nashville police car is sitting idle at the various officers’ homes. Councilman Maurice Purchis of the Police Committee advises that the matter should be claried for the public. The primary unit will be with the officer who is in uniform and on duty. The secondary (backup) car will be parked at the residence of whichever off-duty officer is scheduled to work the next shift. In the past when Nashville had only one cruiser, it was always housed at the village garage when out of service. Now both autos will be with the officers, both on and off- Get ready for the Pre­ Holiday Season...Go to Mirrors Image They will style your hair for any and all occasions.

A native son, Marvin Marshall, was featured in a stofy about Pat Benedict of Minnesota, “The New U.S. Farmer.” Marvin’s picture appears in the magazine as well as a report on his business of analyzing cattle’s nutritional needs by using computer equipment packed into his van. A complete report on Marvin’s coverage in the Time’s story appears elsewhere in this issue of the Maple Valley News. Marvin is the son of Mrs. Bernece Marshall of Barryville Road and the late Eal Marshall. A small maple tree was uprooted and a railroad sign on the west side of South Main was damaged in a Sunday morning auto accident, October 29th. Chief Wilcox policed the mishap which occured when two dogs ran in front of a southbound auto while another auto was approaching in the northbound lane. The driver of the southbound auto swerved to the right to avoid the dogs and struck the tree and sign. The auto sustained minor damage but no personal injuries were reported.

Ernest Nash State Representative Veterans’ Day-This coming weekend will make the first time that the federal and state government have both ob­ served Veterans Day on November 11 in several years. Congress set it for the 4th Monday in October; state resistance reversed this. Jobs Found-The Michigan Employment Security Com­ mission (MESC) found jobs for over 200,000 workers during the 1977-78 fiscal year. Although the MESC issues unem­ ployment checks, its main goal is to help get people back to work through job referrals. PBB Decision-A circuit judge’s decision that low levels of PBB are not damaging to dairy cattle is expected to give a big boost to Michigan agricultural activity and sales. Even so, state procedures to prevent similar events have been tightened. Welfare Fraud-The Department of Social Services has recommended several programs to combat welfare fraud, including computer matching of welfare clients and tax­ payers; a computer program to check on eligibility; direct rent payments to landlords. Although most new programs would cost money, evidence shows the amount saved would be many times more than cost. Bill Paid-Michigan has received $32.5 million from the federal government for welfare services provided in 1971-73. Washington had encouraged welfare programs but then failed to pay ifs share of costs; Michigan sued, won, and has now collected the amount due. Housing Veto-The Governor has votoed SB 610, which was supposed to promote the development of commercial housing in designated areas within cities. The Governor said that the language of the bill is vague and could be in­ terpreted in a manner which would actually discourage non residential development in central city areas; also, it could conflict with present tax law. Emergency Center-The Michigan State Police will soon establish an Emergency Operating Center near the Capitol in order to improve state response to natural disasters and other emergencies. This was prompted by January’s bliz­ zard which virtually shut down the state. Winter Energy-A Consumers Conservation Packet is now available, giving information on home energy savings, fuel and survival tips for travel, and home appliances costs. Write Energy Extension Service Clearinghouse, P.O. Box 30004, Lansings, Mi. 48909. It’s free. New Bridge-The State Highway Department is taking bids this week for construction of a new high level bridge to replace the Zilwaukee drawbridge that has long been a bottleneck. The new 1% mile bridge will cost $68 million, with'completion expected on December, 1982.

Sgjs s Sis"** HWste. fcSmSjinjDtlBtMsta Diane Junglas of Hastings, area coordinator for the Southcentral Michigan chapter of the Big-Brothers Big-Sisters organization, will speak to the Nashville Chamber of Commerce at their Wednesday evening dinner meeting, November 8th. The 7:00 p.m. event will be held at the Steakhouse Restaurant in Nashville. In additon to her address, the program will include a slide presentation by Mrs. Junglas who reports an urgent need for Big Brother­ Big Sister volunteers from the Nashville area. There are presently eight Nashville youngsters waiting to be matched with an adult volunteer. “It’s a one-to-one friend­ ship,” said Mrs. Junglas aboutthe project. “The Big Brother or Big Sister becomes a friend and model for the child, someone they can turn to and talk to.” Children in the program are from motherless or fatherless homes and Diane says there are always more boys than girls on the waiting list. She presently has seven boys and one girl from Nashville on the list. “The Big Brother or Big Sister volunteer should have a few hours each week to spend with the child,” Mrs. Junglas continued. She said that the organization hopes for the relationship to con­ tinue at least a year, if the adult and child are com­ patible. The Chamber meeting is open to the public with ad­ vance reservations needed for the dinner. Sandy Kohfeldt and Lynn Kelley are in charge of arrangements. During the scheduled business meeting Wednesday evening, the Chamber will hear Jerry Johnson, head of the Retail Committee, discuss ideas for Christmas promotions by Nashville merchants.

The Lions threatened early in the game but could not score. Laingsburg was able to move the ball only in the air as they connected for two second quarter touch­ downs to load at halftime 14­ 0. The second half was not much different except that the Lions were not able to generate much offense at all. Quentin Ward led the Lions rushing with 53 yards. Quentin also caught one pass for 45 yads in an exciting last play of the first half. LeRoy Bursley caught 2 passes for 25 yards to lead the team in receptions. Vem Sargent also caught one pass for 20 yards. Ken Hansbarger was the leading Lion tackler for the TRANSMISSION REPAIRS The Varsity basketball team lost to Olivet, Monday night 51-27. The Lion attacks seemed stalled as the man­ to-man defense played by Olivet held the Maple Valley girls to 9 baskets out of 51 attempts for a lowly 18 percent completion. The turnovers again hurd the girls as impatience by several trying to make passes seemingly for easy scores ended up in tur­ novers. “It probably would be better in some situations to miss a scoring opportunity and maintain possession of the ball,” said Coach Rfeese. The free throw line also cost us heavily as the girls hiton 9 of 23 attempts for 37 percent. Halloween night the varsity girls jumped out to an early 18 point lead and held off a last quarter rally by Vestaburg to win their fourth Tri-Central Athletic Association win, 42-33. Maple Valley led 6-1 at the quarter, 19-11 at halftime and 33-16 after three quar­ ters. The Wolverines held the edge 17-9 in the last quarter but couldn’t catch up. Joyce Warner play the best varsity game of the season hitting on 2 of 2 field goal attempts and 2 of 4 at the free throw line for a total of 6 points.

FARMERS FEED From our readers- "YOON COMPLETE PET FOOD CENTER’’ Friends, Unfortunately half way through our budget year a problem came up. Is the Nashville DPW doing a good job, and should their wages be updated? The problem was there. We couldn’t stick our heads in the sand and forget it. I nt en tions and promises from long past councils had not come true. The DPW had got the short end to many times. Before any motions, it was made very clear that the police departments works and wages would be con­ sidered next. Crossing one bridge at a time. They too have got the short end.

Posts across the nation will be holding special programs to salute these unsung heroes; and Whereas all Americans are indebted to these more than 5 million who answered their country's call in a time of emergency, Therefore, I as Harold Christiansen proudly proclaim the week of November 12 to November 18, 1978, as VIETNAM VETERANS WEEK dnd urge all citizens of Nashville, Mich, to join with me in expressing our heart­ felt appreciation. on the Nashville village council recently vacated by resignation. Frith will replace Tom Oleson and Green will replace William Hecker, Christiansen said. The new appointees will serve until the posts can be filled by election in March. Whoever is selected for Hecker’s seat at that time will serve a one year term. Hecker’s seat would have expired March 1980 and Olsens was due to expire March 1979. Christiansen appointed Frith to the DPW Committee which will now be headed by John Mason. Green will serve on the Police Com­ mittee now headed by Maurice Purchis.

She has maintained her interest in local politics and has attended council meetings on a regular basis wherever she has resided. Her husband operates Sterling Air Freight, Limited, with planes based in Grand Rapids. They are members of the Nashville Baptist Church. Sharon was recently ap­ pointed to the Nashville Planning and Zoning Commission, a position which she will relinquish to accept the trustee seat. She has also served on election boards for village and township elections. Frith, immediate past Nashville president, first entered village government as an appointee to fill a vacated trustee seat in 196|6. He was subsequently elected to three terms as a trustee.

Mrs. Junglas told the Chamber she presently needs adult volunteers from the Nashville area to match with a waiting list of eight local youngsters. “They need friendship, affection, companionship, and the guidance of an adult,” she said of the children who may range in age from 5 to 17 years. Adults must be at least 18 but there is no age limit. “We have one grand­ father whojust became a Big Brother,” Mrs. Junglas told the group. A screening-committee of reputable community in­ dividuals helps her match adults to the particular needs of each child. Adults may be single or married and the child may be in­ cluded in family activities, though some individual attention is encouraged. “It isn’t necessary to spend money on the child, or to always entertain him, and Barry County Extension Service CALENDAR of EVENTS November 14: Nutrition Council meeting, 1 p.m., Ex­ tension Office, Hastings (Note change in time and date).

She suggested adult volunteers should have at least three hours each week to spend with the child and, if the two are compatible, the organization hopes the association will last at least one year. “The four purposes of the program are to give the child a model; show them con­ sistency; encourage com­ munication; and provide companionship,’’ Mrs. Junglas said, “ft gives the child an opportunity to see a positively-functioning adult,” she commented, adding that “many little kids have toughened themselves against hurt" encountered in a broken home.

Two weeks ago the Nash­ ville council granted mid­ year raises ranging from 11 to 17 percent to three members of the DPW. The action had been based on one councilman’s contention that surrounding communities were paying higher wages than Nashville and the village might lose ex­ perienced employees if the pay hikes were not granted. At Thursday’s meeting, a member of the audience read a DPW wage scale from Hastings and Bellevue showing that both municipalities were paying an average 50 cents per hour less than Nashville. Last month’s raises were the second this year for DPW employees who received March increases averaging over eight percent. The council also agreed last month to implement cost-ofliving benefits for the DPW. Controversy surrounding the raises resulted in the immediate resignations of two councilman in October. Tom Oleson, head of the council’s DPW committee, quit at a closed session when he reportedly encountered preliminary opposition to his request for the new pay raises. Two weeks later William Hecker, head of the council's police committee, resigned because “all village employees were not being given equal consideration.” However, Thursday, village president Harold Christiansen referred the matter to the police com­ mittee for review and recommendations on salary and performance because the village’s three-man force was not included -in the October action. Councilman John Mason who had moved to grant the new DPW raises said he felt he had saved Nashville a “hassle” in trying to replace experienced employees and commented that “I believe what I did was right and I would do it again if I had a chance.” A spokesman for the crew had indicated to Mason that the entire department might quit if the increases were not granted. It was disclosed Thursday night that Bill Eastman, water and sewer plant operator, had sub­ mitted his resignation shortly after the new raises were give. He reportedly had been seeking other em­ ployment prior to the pay dispute. Christiansen said last week that Eastman would not be replaced at this time. “In last iponth’s minutes you stated that you had compared our (Nashville’s) wages with other towns,” a member of the audience reminded Mason. He asked Mason if he had actually called any other towns to request wage information. Mason said he had not. “We were told this was an exceptional crew and they could go to Hastings anytime they chose and get more pay for the same work,” said Councilman Ted Spoelstra, who had cast the only dissenting vote on the wage hikes. Spoelstra said the council should not have attempted to compare Nash­ ville with Hastings in the first place. Job duties of members of the crews in Nashville and Hastings are not identical nor the length of job tenure in each respective depart­ ment. Mason stressed the special talents of the three-man crew which includes a licensed contractor, automotive mechanic, and licensed sewer and water plant operator. None of the audience or council disagreed with Mason’s support of the crew’s ability or performance. Spoelstra presented figures projecting a nearly $20,000 yearly increase in • FRESH FRUITS and VEGETABLES village expenditures if the • DRIED FRUITS and NUT MIXES DPW raises and benefits are allowed to stand and the |&| • BULK HONEY - your container 75‘ lb. • BULK CHEESES - cut to order ( Ij police receive equal con­ sideration. iI‘i Where is the money coming from?” asked a member of the audience and past councilman. “Your I || Potting Soil, Planters, Dried AIrI rI aUnligyecmiliecnilltds ifIIII!I!* water fund is already in big trouble.” He read a July 25th Ill !i and Hangers. See Our Ne-we-s-t-.-.-.-THE CHIA letter from the village’s PET House Broken, Edible, Takes Only Water. auditing firm which warned the council of a projected cash deficit in excess of $6,000 this year in the village’s water system. The letter, from Donald Lyoyd of the auditing firm, Corner of M-66& State Road Phone 852-1945 ! also states, “We will be assisting the clerk in. setting up the ledgers for the coming year and if the next two years can show the same amount of progress as was shown in the previous two “YOUR COMPUTE PH FOOD CENTER” years in your fiscal matters, we feel you will be in very good financial condition.” Part of the projected" deficit, auditors note, is a problem in metering water service, which shows a loss in excess of 45 percent. In 1977, there were 49,934,000 pumped with gallons pumped with 23,239,000 of those gallons unbilled and 26,695,000 billed -to customers, ,“A system that has a loss of over 17 percent is considered ex­ cessive in the industry,” according to the letter.

To hopefully eleminate a portion of the water loss ratio, the village has begun Nashville’s Only CERTIFIED FARM MARKET I PRICE SEED SALE II Buy y Now For Next Season FARMERS FEED Purina Dog Chow 501b. bag $99S Purina Hi-Protein Dog Meal 501b. bag *995 « to concentrate on repairing faulty meters or replacing them with new ones using revenue sharing funds. The new meters cost about $40 each. Village officials also plan to closely monitor the ratio of gallons pumped to the gallons charged. They plan to keep a close eye on the situation before actually considering raising water rates as auditors suggested under the present 45 percent water loss ratio. Auditors, in the letter, said “we feel a two-pronged approach to the problem should generate sufficient funds for the meeting of all operating expenses and debt payments.” One speaker at the meeting contended that the village will have to raise the water rates because of the DPW raises. However, primarily only one of the three-men crew is paid from the water operating fund unless he needs extra assistance. Pay to the rest of the crew comes from various funds depending on the nature of the work itself. For example, their wages may be charged to such funds as major street and local street, locally administered street, parks, library, garage maintainance, sanitation, etc. depending on where their services are needed. Mason said he had no knowledge of' the village budget but had been assured by Tim Smith, member and former head of the DPW, and by ex-councilman Tom Oleson that the funds were available to cover the new pay increases. Mason claimed that last spring the DPW had been promised a mid-year review of wages but admitted he could not find it in the council minutes. He said he did not remember making the committment but had been told it was Councilman Forrest Babcock who had made the promise to the employees. “It was brought up at the last budget meeting (in March) and talkedsaround the table that in six months we would review the situation,” said Babcock. He was speaking of the im­ mediate past council who must prepare the budget for the incoming council. However, a past coun­ cilman in the audience who was present at that meeting said at least four of the six council members present at the budget hearing had mid-year opposed the review. Mason said he did not recall the budget hearing but felt obligated to act on the mid-year review when approached recently by DPW employees. Spoelstra said he felt the crew was not indispensible. “We received an ultimatum and the council backed down," he said.

This year is providing some extra pressure and several transportation inconviences for all. The practice schedules have been prepared for each sport. The time is of par­ ticular interest because 5 teams, 2 for volleyball and 3 for basketball, are trying to use the gym each night. The practice times will not be the same each week. The schedule has been prepared for sharing the facilities after considering all home contests for wrestling, all basketball teams, volleyball teams and special uses of the gym. No one will like the schedule but it is as fair as it can possibly be at the present.

A comprehensive list of subjects studied by local high school students in 1897 is included ina “Catalogue of the Nashville Public Schools” published in February that year and recently presented to Mrs. Clarence (Bernice Mead) Shaw of Nashville by Mrs. Frieda (Schulze) Trim of Hastings. “Tabulated Course of Study by Grade”, a section in the catalogue, reveals that over 81 years ago Nashville freshmen were studying Algebra, English, U.S. History, Grammer, Botany, Latin, and Physiology. Sophomores were pon­ dering, in addition to English and Physiology, such diversified subjects as Civil Government, Arithmetic, Physical Geography, and Caesar. By the eleventh grade the students had advanced to Plane Geometry, Physics, General History, Complete Algebra, Rhetoric, German and Cicero. Seniors covered a wide range of courses -­ Solid Geometry, Chemistry, English Literature, English History, German, Vergil, and Physics - plus undergoing sessions of “Review”. Published by the Board of Education and printed locally, the catalogue lists “Officers, Teachers, and High School Students of the Nashville Public Schools for 1897.” The major of each senior and junior class student is included. In ad­ dition, an alumni roll spanning ten years notes the names and current occupations of earlier graduates. Only the year of 1890 is missing from the alumni roster. Ten years before the book was published, Nashvilleschools graduated the Class of 1890 consisting of four members. Clarence H.

The evening consisted of games, races, and even bobbing for apples, but a highlight of the event was a treasure hunt complete with monsters and ghosts, and an all out effort from everyone to break the pinatas full of candy. The party ended with the children filling their Halloween bags with lots of homemade goodies. While heading out the door to go home, they had to pass “the coffin of the living dead,” w ith the corpse portrayed by Robby Barlow. The group extends a special thanks to the Maple Leaf Grange members for letting them use the hall and to all the people who helped make the party a great success. Some plants are poisonous! Plants are bright spots in and around many homes today. They provide beauty and color for the routine of daily living. However, some plants can be poisonous if eaten, according to Eaton County Extension Home Economist Ann Ross. Displaying them should be done with care especially if there are curous little folks in the house. According to the Western Michigan Poison Center “Plant Guide", the following are common poisonous plants: Bittersweet (all parks); Mistletoe (berries); Oak (foliage, acorns in large amounts); Philodendrom (all parts); Poinsettia (leaves, stems, milky sap); Rhubarb (leaf blade); Wild sage (all parts, especially green berries) and others. For plant identification, it is suggested that you contact your local florist. In case of any plant exposure, call your physician or the nearest poison center.

In the name of conservation, the Nashville area as well as the rest of the state is feeling the affects of the "bottle bill." As with any major change, there are many adjustments to make and the new law banishing disposable bottles and cans is no exception, its effects are being felt from the brewery right down to the consumer. Just mention the "bottle bill" (which remember breezed into being with a 2-1 margin by referendum) and you're likely to hear an ear-full of grumbling and complaining. "It's a hassle . . . it's such a mess ... it s a headache, " are typical comments being voiced by wholesalers, retailers, and customers alike. At Carl's Market in Nashville, the change means an extra big adjustment because prior to the bottle bill"? the grocery store had converted to selling all nonreturnable bottles. Now owners, Jeanette and Carl Joseph, have found that they have to devote a new $5,000 building for the sole purpose of storing empty bottles, cans, and cases. They had planned to use the building for a garden center. Six large carts have also been added to the store's line of equipment to haul the customer's empties from the store to the separate storage building where they will be picked up by the distributor. Handling the returnables means that more labor must be expended by distributor's drivers and retail personnel, in the photo, John Joseph (left) is shown with Ray LeFever of RC Cola as he hauls a load of empties to his truck from the storage building adjacent to Carl's Market. "It's lots of work," says LeFever adding that eventually his route will probably have to be cut because it takes him twice as long to complete the necessary work at each stop. In the transition period of hauling both old and new containers, already Carl's is handling between 200-300 returnables per day. " No extra personnel have had to be added at Carl's yet/' but we're apt too, saidJeanette.

Entry to the home was gained by breaking through the window of a locked back door. Among items taken were a television and stereo, several tools and guns. Also missing was 250 gallons of gasoline drained from a tank on the premises and a 20 gallon oil drum, which was found later in the Maple Grove area. A 1972 Mercury belonging to the Gardner’s son, Jack, was also al stolen by the thieves. The auto,.. thinly disguised with an application of spray pain was located in Ionia County last week by police. Faced with the problem of identifying the missing goods, Mrs. Gardner said she would encourage others Green Beret to hold program for students for recruiting purposes Joostberns joins elite all-state group Maple Valley High School football standout, Andy Joostberns, recently had his skills recognized by the Detroit News when that newpaper selected the 6 6 , 241 -pound senior to its 22-member All-State squad..

One program, recently offered free to Nashville area senior citizens by the Michigan State Police through the Barry County Commission on Aging, is “Operation Identification” in which all items of value on the resident’s premises are marked for ready iden­ tification. Police report that jcrime rates have dropped noticeably in areas where this nationwide program has been implemented. Local and area law enforcement agencies can furnish details on the engraving process. Drinking Age-The legal drinking age is now 19, except for those people who turned 18 on or before December 3. But as a result of Proposal D’s passage, this will go up to 21 on December 22 unless court suits prevent the increase. Budget Cutback-Governor Milliken has asked all department heads to plan a 4-percent reduction in current spending in order to meet an expected economic downturn in 1979; also, only half of any employee vacancies would be filled. B.C. Aniendment-The House has approved a U.S. Con­ stitution amendment to give two senators and a congressman to the District of Columbia; this HJR “QQ” is now in the Senate. Only one other state has so far approved this proposal. Due to the inadequate time given for discussion of this important issue I voted “no” on passage. Small taans-Both houses have now approved SB 251, which increases the limit on small loans to $3,000 from $1,500 and sets the interest rate at 18 percent a year, about the same as now. The House removed a section which prohibited loan companies from requiring wage assignments for loan payments; thus, a person’s salary may be automatically deducted to pay off a loan. Abortion Bill-Npw in the House is SB 829, which would prohibit the use of Medicaid funds to pay for abortions unless it is necessary to save the life of the mother. The Governor has vetoed similar legislation before and has vowed to do the same in this case. Energy Survey-Many single-family, householders are not receiving home energy audit questionnaires from the state Energy Administration. These are part of a program designed to help householders analyze the energy­ conserving potential of their homes. If you would like a questionnaire sent to you, you can call 800-292-1556, toll-free. Phone Call-The Public Service Commission recently approved a change in long-distance rates for Michigan Bell Telephone. As a result, late-night and Sunday-evening calls within Michigan will get an even greater discount than they do now, but daytime calls will cost more. School Drop-Michigan’s public school population has dropped below 2 million students for the first time since the 1965-66 school year. The present enrollment of 1.97 million is some 11 percent below the 1972 peak of 2.2 million; this decline is expected to continue to 1990. Tourist Program-Michigan’s tourist-promotion program is working so well that other states are asking us for advice including Ohio, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Last year travellers spent more than $4.2 billion while on trips within and through Michigan. t Jenette, I’m glad it’s your 1 | birthday and not mine! § MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES (under authority of Act 230, P.A. 1925, as amended) SENIOR CITIZENS day Thursday, Dec. 7 CARES ABOUT YOU MENS HAIRCUT..

MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES (under authority of Act 165, P.A. and Act 230, P.A. 1925 as amended) Nashville history teacher invents Michigan History game by Elaine Gilbert Memorizing important events in Michigan history is now as fun as playing bingo, thanks to Jim Erwin- of Nashville who has invented a game that’s entertaining and educational for students. “I like to call it sneaking up on them (students) with Michigan history,” said Erwin, a history teacher at Davison High School. Called ‘‘Mr. Erwin’s Michigan History Game,” his idea combines fun, luck, and information all at on­ ce.. elimina ting the repetitive monotony for students who have to memorize significant dates as part of a history course. Erwin developed and used the game last year in his Michigan History classes at Davison. Students response to the game was so tremendous that the high school principal encouraged Erwin to try selling the idea to a publisher. Hillsdale Educational Publishers, Inc. jumped at the chance recently to copyright Erwin’s game and it is now available to classroom teachers throughout the state who want to spice up their classes with the Michigan History Game. Eventually, Erwin expect that his game will wind-up on retail shelves too. Presently the publishing firm is promoting sales of the game through intermediate school districts as part of its displays of materials available. Already the game has been on display during a social studies convention in Lansing and at another educational convention in Grand Rapids. He notes that “there is a short supply of Michigan history materials.” Erwin says his gam? is a handy educational tool that ‘‘breaks the regular classroom routine. It’s easy to use and can be played in four of five minutes.” The game is appealing to students because it combines the favorite game of bingo and tic tac toe. In fact, Erwin said the idea for developing the game grew from ob­ serving several student who would always play tic-tac-toe whenever he was taking roll or when there were a few extra minutes before classes was dismissed. Erwin’s game has a series of bingo-style game cards each containing 16 events from Michigan History in­ cluding such information as 1754 when the French and Indian War Began, 1847 when the Dutch arrived in Holland, Michigan; 1968 when the Tigers won the World Series, and the 1953 tornadoes that swept across the state killing 116 in Flint. To play the game, each student receives a game card and the teacher or a student calls out an event pulled from a deck of event cards and then if a player has the called event on his own card it is covered with a token. The winner of the game is the first player to cover four events that make-up a consecutive row either diagonally, horizontally, or vertically. Jim (on right) and his family enjoy playing his Michigan History Game that has been published by a Hillsdale firm. On the left are daughter Becky, wife Alberta, and son Bo. To increase student in­ terest, teachers may wish to give prizes or awards to the winner, Erwin said. In his own classes, Erwin rewards the winner with five bonus points which are added to the' student’s grade point total. Response to the game is enthusiastic, and Erwin notes that alot of students ask to play the game. “Even kids who are normally bored with history enjoy the game.” he said. The game is a way to keep the vital Michigan history statistics in front of students continually, and it is stimulating enough that it makes the tedious task of memorizing names and dates of events easier, he said. Although the game is repetitive, its a different kind of repetition that’s “more than dates for the sake of learning dates, Erwin adds. Playing the game will often elicit questions which bring up other questions relevant to history which is a door opener for a class discussion. The game is especially suited for "grades eight through ten, but it can be played by students who are in fourth grade and even up to twelfth. Teachers are sure to enjoy the benefits of the game too because Erwin says “it’s a good time controller without wastings time; and students are attentive and the classroom stays quiet during the duration of the game. He also notes that students who do not read well or do not keep up with their regular assignments, still leave the class with some knowledge because of the exposure they receive from the game. Erwin has decided to contribute royalties from his game to a special fund to provide a grant to a graduating senior at Davison High who has displayed excellance in history or intends to pursue history at the pollege level. The Davison Board of Educations has commended^ Erwin for his game idea by adopting a resolution that states, “It is~ this positive Jim Erwin of Nashville shows the game cards which are part of the Michigan History Game he invented to help make learning 53 important names and dates of historical events more fun for students. aspect of our educational program that makes our endeavors worthwhile, and you are to be commended for your achievement.” Erwin has similar games for his-United States history classes and world history course dealing with what he calls important “watershed events.” If the Michigan game is successful he said his publisher plans to go nationwide with the two other games.

You may obtain this valuable information, tailored specifically to your residence, by completing a questionnaire prepared by the State Energy Ad­ ministration, reports State Senator Harry DeMaso (RBattle Creek). The questionnaire is part of a home energy audit program, entitled “Project Conserve,” sponsored by the State Department of Com­ merce and designed to help homeowners analyze the energy-conserving potential of their homes. “In the late fall and early winter, 40 percent of the single-family households located in Calhoun, Branch and Barry Counties will be receiving home energy audit — From page 8. Erwin son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Erwin, moved to the Nashville area when he was ten years old and is a 1953 graduate of Nashville High School. During his teaching career he taught out-of-state and then was an adult education history instructor at Maple Valley in 1972-73 before joining the Davision District in 1973 where he has taught vocational building trades and history. Erwin said that Michigan history has been phased out of the Davison district until it was restored back into the curriculum last year. Now it is receiving a popular comeback with 544 students (a one-fourth of the student body at Davison) signing up for the Michigan history course next year, he reports. Erwin and his wife, Alberta, reside at 429 S. Main Street in Nashville. They have two children: Becky, 19, who is majoring in language at Kellogg Com­ munity College, and a- son Bo, 18,"a history major at Olivet College. questionnaires in the mail from the Energy Ad­ ministration,’’’ Senator DeMaso explained. “All a homeowner needs to do is answer the questions about his individual home and then return the questionnaire by mail,” he continued. ““This This in­ formation will then be processed by a computer, taking into account typical weather conditions and costs for fuel in the area. The homeowner will then receive back in the mail, at no cost, a printed ‘Homeowner Report’ telling him how he can cut down on his energy costs.” Senator DeMaso pointed out that the report will list energy-saving steps, such as caulking, weatherstripping, and insulation, as well as the estimated cost of each step and the projected savings in both energy and dollars, which the homeowner may want to consider. A separate brochure, entitled “Understanding Your Home Energy Audit Homeowner Report,” ex­ plaining the steps listed and where to obtain these ser­ vices in the area, will also be included with the report. Households chosen to receive the questionnaire will be randomly-selected by the Energy Administration. Any household not receiving a questionnaire in the mail, however, may obtain one by calling the Energy Ad­ ministration’s toll-free number (1-800-292-1556). • Boys varsity basketball begins The Maple Valley’s boys basketball season opened at Caledonia Tuesday but the Lions were unable to bring home the victory. The host Scotties defeated the Lions 51-50. Valley fell behind early and trailed 10-13 at the end of the first quarter. Caledonia continued to build the lead by as much as 8 points before a tough Lion defense closed the gap and pulled within 1 point, 25-26 by half-time. The battle continued in the second half until Ken Hansbarger was able to put his Lions ahead 29-28 with 2:49 left in the third quarter. Andy Joostberns netted 15 of his total 19 points in the second half to lead the charge for Valley. Maple Valley continued to dominate play until with 1:18 left to play Caledonia’s Kevin Slagter went to the free-throw line and sank two to give the Scotties the lead and the eventual win. Girls end season 10-10 The Olivet Eagles ended the basketball season for the Valley girls Thursday in district play at Olivet. The final score was 43-26 in favor of the hosts. The Eagles scored the first bucket and though the Lionettes showed hustle and determination even the spirited Valley crowd couldn’t make up for the Eagle lead. Olivet stayed ahead the entire game. Though they trailed by only 17-14 by the half, poor Here’s a Better Looking Gift Idea from the RAZOR’S EDGE free-throw shooting and foul trouble kept the Valley girls from threatening. The enthusiastic crowd which followed the Lionettes' to Olivet was treated to a fast-paced game and plenty of action.

Nashville merchants receive crime prevention advice by Susan Hinckley Nashville merchants received on-the-spot advice about locks and other store security measures last week when Sgt. Gerald Smith of the Barry County Sheriff’s Department Crime Prevention Unit called onthem. Chief Wilcox of the Nashville Police Depart*ment accompanied Smith on his stops at the various business establishments. Funded by a 3-year federal crime prevention grant, Smith has had the unit in pperation in Barry County since last spring. “The program is geared to work with 'homeowners, farmers, and business people,” said Smith. It is designed to teach them an -“awareness” of what they can do to prevent thefts and various other kinds of crime by taking preventative steps. Smith also speaks to school children on subjects ranging from bicycle safety to child abuse and caution in talking to strangers. Along with Wilcox and Sgt. Ronald Mcbonald of the Michigan State Police team post' in Hastings, Smith visited Nashville elementary schools last spring to discuss such / topics with local youngsters. Another important function of the crirqe prevention program involves engraving items of value on residential premises with special numbers for ready identification. This operation MATCH »WIN deters thieves who .find it difficult to sell inscribed stolen property. Police departments have reported a noticeable drop in crime where this ^nationwide program has been implemented. “We received $30,000. to finance the entire operation of the crime prevention program for the first year,” said Smith. In addition to his yearly salary and that of his part-time secretary, the federal funds covered the purchase and equipping of a Crime Prevention Unit station wagon, used ex­ clusively for the program. It also covered the cost of office equipment, a camera, and other materials and equipment used by Smith. Literature which he distributes in presentations to various groups is also paid for by the grant monies. Since some of the initial costs have been met the first year, funds received for the second ancfthird year of the program will be less. If the crime prevention unit proves it’s merit over the three year period, the Barry County Sheriff’s Department mdy continue the program for county residents, he-said. Sgt Smith is available to speak to interested organizations and in­ dividuals or groups about crime prevention and may be contacted by calling the Barry County Sheriff’s Department.

The Carpenters went overseas last February when Wade was called out of retirement by E.W. Bliss Company and asked to go to Ireland as a machine instructor at the Bliss plant there. The biggest snowstorm in twenty years greeted the Carpenters when they landed at Shannon Airport last February, but winter temperatures there rarely go below freezing. With two fireplaces and a central heating system in their dwelling, the Carpenters were able to stay warm despite some shortage of oil in Ireland. Weekend journeys throughout the Republic of Ireland and special trips to Paris, Amsterdam, Edinbourgh, and London highlighted what Wade calls “a good year”. He adds, however, that they are happy to be home. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce will meet Wed­ nesday evening, December 13th, for a 7 p.m. dinner meeting at the Steakhouse Restaurant.

Baker scored all the field goals for the Wildcats in the second quarter but even his hot shooting could not deny the Lions as the guests scored 23 points to close the gap, trailing by only 34-31 by the half. Jeff Mead sparked the Maple Valley offense in the third quarter. Mead poured in 6 straight points to pull the Lions to within 1 point 44-43 with 2:05 to go in the quarter. A minute later Tony Joostberns added the bucket that put Valley ahead for the first time.The lead was short-lived, however. Lakeview regained the advantage 48-47 by the end of the quarter.

Among the topics to be covered in classes during College Week, June 18-21, 1979 are weight control, menopause, stress, nutrition, self-esteem, retirement, photography, families in transition, inflation, energy conservation and local government. And, one of the best parts of at­ tending classes is that there are (io grades. According to Wilma Miller, College Weak program coordinator, there are a number of options available for College Week participants. Many live in a dormitory ($65 for the total package, including 10 meals and three nights lodging). Others commute to the week of classes (for $18) and some choose to attend visitors’ day (for $10).

Nashville police receive pay hike: Village re-applies for grant by Susan Hinckley Meeting in a marathon session lasting until close to midnight last Thursday, the Nashville Village Council approved mid-year pay boosts for the local 3-man police force and agreed to implement a cost of living package for the department. The move was triggered by recent action of the council to grand mid-year raises ranging from 11 to 17 percent plus cost of living benefits to three DPW employees, a step which stirred a controversy resulting in the immediate resignation of two coun­ cilmen in October. Tom Oelson and William Hecker both vacated their posts during debate on the DPW wage hikes. Councilman Ted Spoelstra, who had cast the only dissenting vote on the DPW raises in October, reminded the council last Thursday that the DPW hikes were granted just one day after President Carter issued inflationary control guidelines asking a volun­ tary 7 percent cap on wage increases. The raises granted the DPW raises were double that amount, Spoelstra said. “Now you’re trying to hold the police down to 7 percent because of the presidential guidelines,” he added. On a motion by Spoelstra the council then agreed to restrict future salary review to the start of each fiscal year, March 1, and the council also agreed not to reconsider raises for the DPW in the spring. ' The police, however, will be reviewed at that time because their recent raise was less than half that granted DPW employees. Although Nashville police received an average of less than seven percent increase, the jump brought them to slightly above average for law enforcement wages in comparable surrounding communities. Maurice Purchis, head of the council’s police com­ mittee, used pay rates ob­ tained from Middleville, Bellevue, Lake Odessa, and Wayland to arrive at a standard wage for Nash­ ville’s chief and two patrolmen. Chief Wilcox, who has ten years service with the village, will now earn an annual salary of $13,457. Officer Gene Koetje, with seven years seniority, will receive $12,272. and Officer Art Long, whose present position is covered by-CETA funds, will be increased from $10,000 to $10,832 by the village. In other action, the council agreed to proceed with application for a 75 percent .federal Environmental Protection Agency grant to a construct proposed $3,396,105. sewer project which will include a new waste water collection system, lift station, and treatment facility plant. Despite a decision by an earlier council to restrict the proposed sewer project to grant eligible portions of the village, the council last week authorized Williams and Works Engineering Firm of Grand Rapids to submit the grant application covering both eligible and ineligible sections. The decision by the earlier council was based on an advisory vote of the people which indicated they wanted only the grant eligible areas of the village included in the project. In October the council had sent Williams and Works back to the drawing board to shave off the ineligible areas.

The colorful street decorations, strung across Main Street each year by the village DPW crew, belong to the Chamber. The organization recently initiated a program to add one new lamp post decoration each year, with initial funds raised by the raffle of two donated bicycles in 1977.

However, Mrs. French believes the millinary store was in another Main Street location and the bakery came to the Gribbin Block in later years. She remembers Cortright’s Variety Store, and then Fred Baker’s Mill End Outlet, occupying the center portion of the structure. “The old Nashville Post Office was in the brick building on the left,” recalls on local senior citizen, “and the telephone office was located above it” Massive cables and wires, visible in the upper left of the photo, run toward the second floor of the structure which today houses K. & S. Dairy DeUte on the ground floor level. To the extreme right of the picture, the Wolcott and Son Harness and Carriage Shop can be seen. A 1926 Barry County directory lists John Wolcott as a "harness maker and dealer”. The small building where he operated still stands, adjacent to Johnie’s Pit Stop. And, in keeping with Wolcott’s profession and 1909 transportation, several hitching rails line the sidewalk in front of the Gribbin Block.

PROHIBITING SPEARING — Muskellunge Lakes — The Natural Resources Commission, at its July 14, 1978, meeting, under the aut­ hority of Act 230, P.A. 1925, as amended, ordered that all spearing be prphibited throughout 1979 on the following waters except Chicagon Lake and the Center Chain of Lakes where spearing is prohibited during January and February only.

Pfister goes on to say that, 'with some cut Christmas trees now sprayed green, it may be difficult to gauge freshness by sight alone. However, there are a few ways to separate the fresh from the dry. A fresh tree will tend to have fresh looking resin on the lower trunk. Its needles will be hard to pull from the branches. Before deciding on a specific tree, bounce it on the ground, the specialist suggests. A shower of needles indicates a dry tree. Once a fresh evergreen is in the home, you may be able to keep it for about 10 days before it becomes highly flammable, he says. Very few trees will have much moisture in the needles after 10 days. To monitor the dryness of a Christmas tree, remove a small twig, hold it over the kitchen sink with tongs and light it. If the twig fire dies out after the match is removed, the tree is still fresh, according to Pfister. Placement of the Christmas tree can be crucial, he goes on to say. Place it where it will not block an exit if there is a fire. And, to preserve the tree’s freshness, keep it away from heat sources like registers or television sets, he suggests. Pfister advises that treating a tree with fire retardant material is rarely successful, compared with placing a fresh tree ip a tree holder equipped with a water container that’s checked daily.

Vermontville Hardware VERMONTVILLE HARDWARE 131 South Main - Vermontville �The Maple Volley Newt, Nashville, Wednesday, December 27, 1978 — Page 6 Baby Erin is home for Christmas— The most precious gift Caroline and Ernest Halliwill and son Nathan of Vermontville could have hoped for this Christmas became a reality December 10. That’s the day the family brought home their tiny baby daughter, Erin Elizabeth, who was two and one-half months premature at birth. Little Erin weighed only two pounds and 15 ounces when she was born at Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo on November 2. Dispite her diminutive size, however, Erin was born free of health problems. “God was on our side there/’ her mother happily says. Tiny Erin Elizabeth Halliwill is all dressed up in her Christmas dress, a doll-sized garment made by her mother. Holding the new arrival is brother Nathan who is fascinated with Erin's tiny hand. (Maple Valley News Photo) At birth, Erin was a mere 15.25 inches long and the cir­ cumference of her head measured only 10.5 inches. To visualize her smallness, her mother reports that she was so tiny she could have fit into a shoe box with room to spare. A regular sized receiving blanket went around the baby three times, Caroline relates. Doctors, nurses, and parents are pleased with the strides Erin has made in just seven weeks. Now Erin weighs in at five pounds and five ounces and is two inches longer than she was at birth. Erin’s a real doll with deep bluish-green eyes and red hair (just what her father ordered) and though she’s grown at a good rate, she still is so tiny that her mother has made two doll dresses for her to wear. Erin has outgrown the 15 inch doll dress she wore home from the hospital so Caroline made a Christmas dress for her in a 17-inch size pattern in a soft mint green material complete with a white ruffled pinafore apron. “She’s doing pretty good for a baby that’s not even supposed to be born yet,” “She’s our Christmas present this year!” Caroline and her husband were surprised when the doctor said Erin could come home recently because most premature babies of Erin’s size are hospitalized for eight weeks. Brother Nathan who will be two years old next month is very protective of his new baby sister and enjoys giving her a kiss whenever he gets the chance. The Halliwills have nothing but praise for the “fantastic” care Erin received from the neonatologists and nurses on the staff at Bronson Hospital. Right after birth, Erin was placed in the intensive care unit with her own nurse. She was hooked up to a monitor to continually check her breathing and her heart beat. Later, she was transferred to the neo­ natal intermediate care unit where a nurse is assigned to every three children. Erin progressed through all the changes with flying colors graduating from being fed through a tiny tube into the stomach to bottle feeding with an extra tiny nipple. When a switch takes place in the feeding or even just being changed from an incubator to a crib, most premature babies usually loose a few ounces because of the energy exertion involved. But not Erin, she didn’t loose an ounce. “That shocked us,” Caroline happily reports. Although Erin has progressed so beautifully, giving birth to a premature baby involves a great deal of emotional stress, Caroline said. The moment Erin was born, “I didn’t even count her toes. I just wanted to hear her cry...whether she breathed was all I cared about,” she said. As a mother of a premature baby, Caroline says “Nobody knows how you feel. People try to understand and that’s nice." ~ ‘ % She found it a traumatic experience when she saw other mothers taking their babies home. It just tore me up. I felt cheated. I thought it was unfair, but then there is a positive side...things could have been worse...” At home while waiting for weeks to hear that Erin could finally come home, Caroline said, “You do a lot of thinking” and says its quite normal to feel happy one minute and depressed the next. “I worried alot but I didn’t, because I knew that Erin was receiving good care.” One of her worries was whether Erin would recognize her the next time she went to visit her in the hospital. After each visit Caroline said she found it hard to leave her in the hospital. One source of comfort was being able to communicate with the hospital through a toll free number day or night to check on Erin’s condition. Statistics were also on Erin’s side. Because girls are stronger at birth than their male counterparts, girls have a better chance at survival, Caroline said. During the days before Erin was released from the hospital, she says her “only consolation was that Nathan kept me busy” along with sewing dresses for her new baby daughter. But at least the waiting was over, and the family settled back to enjoy Erin’s first Christmas together. The proud maternal grandparents are Alice and Donald Nash and paternal granparents Lowell and Marlys Halliwill, all of Nashville. Caroline and Erinie are both graduates of Maple Valley High School. She graduated in 1974 and he was a member of the class of ‘72 and is employed at Fisher Body in Lansing. Caroline writes a column of Vermontville news for an area newspaper and is also serving as the substitute correspondent for Mrs. Ava Kroger in the Maple Valley News.

MAIN, NASHVILLE PHONE: 852-9680 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday. December 27. 1978 — Page 7 Memories of the past— A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative Final Session-The 79th Legislature has now concluded its work. During this two year session, over 3500 bills were introduced; only about 500 of them were actually enacted into law. Any bills not enacted are now dead. New Faces-When the 80th Legislature convenes on January 10th, it will have the largest number off new members in many years. There will be 27 new representatives in the House and 14 new Senators, although 6 of the new Senators came from the House. Three Strikes-For yet another time, a bill to decriminalize possession and use of marijuana failed by small margin last week in the House. It is dead for now. However, supporters predict that the new legislature will approve a bill in 1979. Product Liability-Governor Milliken has signed into law HB 5689, which sets guidelines for court suits on product liability. It specifies conditions under which a manufacturer or seller can be sued for a faulty product and requires that a suit be filed within 6 months of a injury or death. This will help many small businesses secure affordable insurance. No Homes-Both houses have approved SB 196, which sets up an experimental program to help “displaced homemakers” find employment after years out of the job market. Three new centers around the state will help train or retrain divorced or widowed women, and help find jobs. Warm Homes-Awaiting the Governor’s signature is HB 6493, which authorizes state and federal funds to be used to weatherize up to 24,000 homes of low-income families. The program will be run by local agencies and will expand on present weatherization efforts. The long-term goal is helping insulate homes is to ultimately reduce state fuel consumption. Sun Credits-In coming years you will be able to claim a personal income tax credit for the purchase of solar, wind and water-energy devices. A maximum credit of $1700 will be allowed for 1979 or 1980, decreasing to a maximum of $600 for the 1983 tax year. Tax Fraud-A new law makes it a felony to make a false income tax return with intent to defraud the state, and a misdemeanor to simply fail or refuse to file a return. Maximum penalty for the felony would be 2 years in jail and a $5,000 fine. junk Cars-Another new law is HB 5371, which creates a licensing system for businesses which deal in auto wrecking, salvaging or processing salvage vehicles.

As a self­ employed carpenter, the Nashville resident is in­ volved in: remodeling projects and a variety of other jobs and in his spare time, he converts his car­ pentry talents to a smaller scale...building dollhouses. His most elaborate work to date is an impressively stately three-story Victorian dollhouse he completed recently. “I enjoy the fine detail work,’’said Earl who spent nearly 100 hours of work on the project. Detailed craftsmanship is evident in the dignity of the architectual styling from the intricate gingerbread trim Earl pieced and glued together like a puzzle to the interior where he built staircases with precision. Conveying grandeur in miniature, the doll house Earl glues and clamps the tiny pieces of gingerbread trim on the house. A stately Victorian dollhouse is Earl's most elaborate miniature home project to date. measures 48 inches high, 35 inches across, and 22 inches wide. The front of the house ^wings open and the roof detaches to reveal an in­ terior of seven rooms and three hallways. Eleven inch ceilings allow for ease in future decorating. Windows in the house actually open and close. Earl used premade windows which he said cost $140 for eight single ones and four doubles. The premade door, alone, carries a price tag of $11 and Earl chuckles that he “paid about the same price for a (Left to Right) Charlie Andrus Forrest Babcock A wish that the New Year brings you all you’re hoping for.

Main St., Nashville Ph. 852-9500 or 852-9501 will form the real door in an apartment house.” The world of dollhouses has become very sophisticated, he notes. Collectors often spend thousands of dollars just furnishing the interior. Some even wire them so they can have tiny working electric lights inside by using a transformer similar to the kind used to operate a model railroad. Earl has built a total of 30 dollhouses in three years, working in his heated workshop behind his home. It’s aTiobby he hopes will mushroom into a full-time business venture by the time he retires in several years. “I’ve always fooled around with wood,’’said Earl. But it wasn’t-until he was “in the right place at the right time” about three years ago that he started building doll houses. “I just happened to stop in a craft shop in Marcellus and found out that they didn’t have anybody to make dollhouses.” Now he sells a number of miniature homes through a dealer, “Davey Jones Locker of Oshtemo,” and fills special orders for customers who order directly form him.- , Shirley, Craig, , Eric, Sarah and Ivan We wish to say Thank You and wish you all Good Health and Happiness in the New Year Curtis Craft House 205 S.

The customer, a woman from Paw, Paw, wanted the house to be a duplicate of the farmhouse she had been raised in. She presented Earl with two photos and a sketch of the original home and he accepted the challenge te construct it. For some of Earl’s dollhouses, he builds spiral staircases, using basically tiny dowels and adding fine chain for the railing. Another unique idea he sometimes . uses is simulating wraught iron railings by using ardox nails (the kind with the twisted effect). “I’m a perfectionist and I like to improvise alot from the basic dollhouse plans that I have.” The kind of project he most enjoys tackling is “when they send me a picture and say there it is go to it” because that’s when his creativity and talent thrive. Funding for Michigan’s snowmobile trail system maintained by the State Department of Natural Resources may be doubled if a bill now being considered by the state Legislature becomes a law, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. “The DNR now receives approximately $1 million annually from snowmobile registrations and nothing from taxes paid on gasoline to run machines,” stated Joseph Ratke, Auto Club touring manager. Senate Bill 185 now before the State House of Representatives mandates that three-tenths of one percent of all state gasoline taxes be used for the trail program. A DNR official said the bill has a good chance for passage. “DNR officials say that the trail program could receive $1.2 million in the first full year if the two-centper gallon state gasoline tax hike takes effect as scheduled Jan. 1 and at least $1 million without the, tax increase,” Ratke said. Dollhouse construction has given Earl a great deal of satisfaction and before he delived the Victorian model to its new owner just before Christmas, he said,“I just can’t wait to see what that woman says when'she sees that house. Although snowmobilers can travel anywhere in the more than 3.7 million acres of state-managed forests, there are some 2,300 miles of marked trails in state forests - nearly 100 miles more than than last year. In addition, there are 105,000 acres of state park and recreation area lands open to snowmobiling - 1,300 more acres than last season. In addition to state im­ provement, new routes through the Lower Penin­ sula, Huron and Manistee national forests have added more than 100 miles to last season’s 1,051-mile network. The 165 trails listed on Auto Club’s 1978-79 guide are a marked contrast to the 44 marked routes scattered throughout the (state a decade ago. Then, the longest trail measured 31 miles. It now is possible to travel 300 miles across the Upper Peninsula from Sault Ste. Marie into Wisconsin or 230 miles across Lower Michigan from Tawas City to Traverse City via groomed trails. Shorter routes from one to 81 miles long also are available.^ Auto Club states that there are restrictions governing snowmobiling on federal and state lands. Snowmobilers in the Huron and Manistee National forests can travel only on designated routes or unplowed roads not posted as closed. Until March 1, machines can travel anywhere in the western UP’s Ottawa National Forest. After that, all travel on federal land south of M-28, except in the extreme western UP, will be restricted to trails or unploed roads. In the UP’s Hiawatha National Forest, Machines are limited to trails or unplowed but groomed forest roads. All state land is closed to snowmobiling when snow depth is under four inches. Those southern state game areas open to snowmobilers can be used Jan. 1 through'March 31, 1979. Snowmobilers also can travel the rights-of-way along thousands of road miles in 37 counties. Auto Club reminds operators that machines must be registered to run anywhere but on private land. Children under 12 must be supervised by an adult to travel public lands. Youngsters aged 12 to 15 must pass an eight-hour, state-approved snowmobile safety course to drive without supervision on public property. 'Auto Club urges snowmobilers to follow these safety rules to enjoy a trouble-free season: 1. Dress properly. Long scarves may look fine but easily could tangle in machinery.

Well, maybe next year they will be good Scouts and improve their chances. Ten lucky parents won The Poinsettias that had served as table decorations. Santa and Mrs. Claus showed up to spend some time talking to the youngsters and handling out presents and candy canes. It’s appreciated that they take time to visit our Christmas celebration each year.

Enjoy your vacation and remember the Rollerskating Party, Dec. 27, 7:00 p.m. Tax outlook not changed by Headlee amendment of local government by state law. New activities and services or increased levels shall not be required unless fully funded by the state. In addition to the above provisions the implementing acts will deal with millage rollback, bond issues, revenue sharing and school aid, refund mechanism and clarification of local taxing power. Even if these various legislative acts were not pending, the Headlee amendment is expected to have little economic impact on Michigan farmers in 1979. The passage of either proposal H or J, or both, would have reduced the incentive to enroll under P.A. 116. But their defeat coupled with increasing pressures to bring to agricultural lands up to 50 percent assessment ratios of true market value should cause many farmers to take another look at P.A. 116. It is well for farmers and all property taxpayers to be aware that the 50 percent assessment ratio is not constitutionally fixed. A last glimpse of Santa in 78 Santa was spotted driving to the North Pole after visiting Nashville area children at Carl's Market last week. Santa commented that he used his car to give Rudolph and all the other reindeers a good rest before his annual Christmas eve visit.

There is much speculation as to whether the “Tax revolt” in Michigan and other states will result in a flurry of new remedial tax legislation that seeks - to defuse the revolt.

Growers increased planted acreage over last year only by 4 percent to 570,000, and were able to harvest 560,000 acres. October weather was near perfect to complete combining this fall, com­ pared with last fall’s muddy fields and high aban­ donment. The abandonment percentage is the lowest since 1966. Two weeks of rainy weather in mid­ September halted harvest, but increased the weight of beans when harvest resumed later in the month. The average yield on the harvested acreage for 1978 is 1,150 pounds per acre, down from the 1,180 pound yield of 1977 but above the 1976 yield of 1,000. This realized yield exceeds the early season indications for the crop. Michigan retains it’s position as the leading dry bean producing State with 34 percent of the National total. This is double the 16 percent claimed by Michigan’s nearest challenger, California. from page 12 i it* ***<u B’1?u to “get up from the table’’ after a big holiday meal, do it, as soon as possible. Refrigerating the leftovers within an hour after the big family meal is also a Must for safety’s sake. Yes, holiday meals and entertaining are fun, so keep them that way. Navy bean production this 102,000 cwt., Red Kidney year jumped 14 percent from output, at 361,000 cwt. also 1977 to 5,581,000 cwt. as climbed 57 percent and Michigan growers continued Black Turtle’s 57,000 cwt. their stranglehold on jumped 21 percent. Only National Navy bean Cranberry production of production with 90 percent of 319,000 cwt. showed a decline the crop. Pinto bean by dropping 18 percent from production rose 57 percent to last season. Egg production levels up— For the month of October Michigan’s laying flocks produced 133 million eggs. That’s 8 million above last month and 6 million more than a year ago. A reason for this jump is that both the number of layers on hand and rate of lay increased over the previous month and year. The number of layers on hand went up almost 300,000 birds from Sep­ tember to 6,550,000. Last October there were 6,430,000 layers on hand. The number of eggs per 100 layers in October 1978 was 2,034 (4g. eggs above September’s average and 53 above last year’s average). Taking a reading for a single day, November 1st, the numberj»f layers on hand was 6,550,000 birds (up 3 percent from last year) and the rate of lay was 65.3 eggs per 100 layers (up 4 percent from last year). The Nation’s laying flocks produced 5.67 billion eggs during October, 1 percent more than a year ago, ac­ cording to the Crop Reporting Board. The number of layers during October averaged 282 million, virtually the same as a year earlier. Egg production per 100 layers during the month was 2,008 eggs compared with 1,989 a year ago. Layers on November 1 totaled 284 million, about the same as a year ago, but 1 percent more than the previous month’s number of 280 million. Rate of lay on November 1 averaged 64.6 eggs per 100 layers, com­ pared with 64.4 a year earlier and 64.9 on October 1, 1978.

Here are a few VOLUNTARY practices: 1. Keep SMV emblems clean and bright and replace every 2 to 5 years. For your protection two lights to the front and a flashing amber to the rear are used at night. 2. Use safety hitch pins that are easy to put in and remove, yet will not jump out and release trailed wagons or implements. (Bolts, used valve stems and other make-shift pins may fail). 3. Lock brades together for road speeds, providing brakes are adjusted even or mechanism provides for difference to avoid pulling. 4. Select operators who have driven a car on the highway - those who have not are too inexperienced to anticipate problems. 5. Turn on tractor head lights and flashing amber lights whenever on the high­ way. 6. Keep speed down. Use same gear downhill as you would to pull load uphill. Slow in advance of turns. Most farm machinery accidents happen during daylight hours on dry high­ ways that are open and level. Think about what you can do to reduce risk and then do it!

Be aware of thin ice dangers Michigan residents were given a seasonal reminder today by State Police Director Col. Gerald L. Hough about the potential danger to persons who venture onto thin ice on outdoor water areas in early winter. Hough said Michigan water accident statistics in the past have shown that non-boating accidents each year include some deaths caused by falls through ice. Because winter ice sometimes may look stronger than it is, Hough advised outdoor enthusiasts that ice thickness should be tested for safety where any doubt exists and that provisions for rescue also continued column 5- Conservation “Teacher of the year nominations are sought locally Nominations are being accepted for the sixth national “Conservation Teacher- of - the - Year awards program according to James Fish, Chairman of the Barry Soil and Water Conservation District. The competition is open to all full time teachers working at the kindergarten through high school level who have developed an outstanding program of environmental educatioa The National Conservation Teacher of the Year will receive $1000 in cash and an expense paid trip to Houston, Texas, for the 1980 annual, convention of the National Association of Conservation Districts. The national place winner second receives a $500 cash award and the first place regional winner will be given $200. Cosponsored by NACD and the Allis Chalmers Corporation, the purpose of the awards program is to en­ courage the development of creative learning experiences in conservation for your people. “Any teacher in a public or private school in our conservation district who puts emphasis on environmental conservation as a regular part of the instructional program is eligible for nomination”, said Fish. Insterested teachers can obtain additional in­ formation and nomination forms from the Barry Soil and Water Conservation District, 301 S. Michigan, Hastings. The awards program also includes equivalent prizes for the conservation district judged nationally to have provided the most effective stimulus and help for con­ servation education programs within the district. From column 3- Measles, Mumps, Rubella cases reported should be at hand. Be wary of areas where moving water under ice may keep the ice surface dangerously thin, he added, pointing out that these unsafe spots generally would be on rivers or streams or over spring areas of ponds. In view of upcoming school vacations as well as at other winter times, Hough urged parents to be especially vigilant in warning children about outdoor ice dangers, suggesting supervision be provided in play areas as necessary. ~ To safely bear the weight of individuals or small groups of persons, outdoor ice on lakes, rivers, ponds, etc., should be from two to four inches thick. For heavier weights, such as snowmobiles, thickness should range from five in­ ches and up for protection purposes. Parents did you know that there have been, 7,858 cases of Measles. 1,523 cases of Mumps. 3,281 cases of Rubella,reported in Michigan this year? Measles is occuring in grade school age groups and is also afflicting young people in high school andcolleges. We urge protection of your child.

People speak out on 76 and 77 Editor’s Note: Now that we have said good-bye to 1976 and greeted the New Year, the Maple Valley News decided to get a reaction from a few area citizens to see what they thought of 1976 and what they expect for 1977. Jerry Johnson ... “’76 was a good year from a business standpoint. Prices were pretty stable. I think 1977 will be another good year.” Denny Lamie ... “’76 was pretty good as far as work at Olds went. It was also good for our softball league. Work looks even better for ’77, but I think we’ll be working too much overtime. I expect the Bicentennial project (the softball diamonds and park) to be completed by the middle of the ’77 s6ftball season.” Grace Cooley... “’76 was better than most years.” Tim Smith ... “I don’t think we’ll see any drastic changes with our new administration, but something must be done or the country could be in for some hard times. I wish our Government would manage its money as if it were big business and be smarter about spending. We should get rid of all the programs and government positions that are a waste of time and money.” Ray Hinckley ... “Business was good in ’76, and I think it will be even better in ’77. People will be spending more money and that always stimulates the economy.” Carl Thrun ... “I don’t think the administration will make much difference in the first year. It’ll take all the new cabinet members at least a year or so to just learn their jobs. It’s a sad thing that these people will be learning these jobs on our money. I don’t much change in see much change in unemployment, welfare reform, and so forth either..” Max Kelley... “’76 was a tricky year for business. Sales were up and down all year. The consumers showed both confidence and apprehension in buying and shopping. People are always apprehensive - in an election year. I expect more consumer confidence in ’77 with the new administration. I look for a pickup in business.” Bob Fueri, Sr “’76 was a good year, there was nothing wrong with it. You always get out of it what you put into it. 1977 will take care of itself. There seems to be improvement, the stores are selling stuff, and the economy will be better. We need to put more more people people back back to to work. work. Nobody should be working overtime, if necessary give them 36 hour work weeks and hire more employees. If this is done, it will stop the high prices." Susie Corkwell ... “’76 was a year of changes, most of them good. Personally, it was one of our happier years. I think we’re starting to come out of the recession, people aren’t holding back in spending as much as they were doing. I think everything is getting back to normal again and people want to accomplish things.” John Simon... “’76 was a better year than ’75. There seemed to be more shoppers this year. This is a positive sign for the stimulation of our economy.” New Nashville Postmaster Elmer Jarvie started as the new Nashville Postmaster on December 4. He had been a rural carrier in the area for one and one-half years. "It looked like it would be interesting and challenging work," said Jarvie. "There's more involved in the job than I thought, such as reports and bookkeeping. There's a lot to learn, but I like it better all the time."

Ph. 945-9554 for Action-Ads OPEN LETTER We often hear this question: "Doesn’t a funeral director become calloused to grief?" The answer to that question is, no. One cannot enter a griefstricken home without a real sense of sympathy, no matter what the circumstances may be. We believe, though, that the funeral director can best express his sympathy by going about his work quietly and calmly. Confusion only adds to the strain. /Vcqt~ FUNERAL HOMES Nashville — Vermontville Phone 852-0840 - 726-0624 Vumimll 11111 wjr ua- • TRANSMISSION REPAIRS All notices should be delivered to Carl’s by Wednesday evening in order to be printed in the following issue of the Maple Valley News. • MAJOR OVERHAULS WE SELL: LOTTERY TICKETS • ELECTRICAL WORK • BODY & BUMP SERVICE • TUNE-UPS - MUFFLERS Midi.

State Police Director Col. Halverson is George L. cautioning Michigan residents about fire safeguards in the installation and use of supplemental heating equipment in homes in their efforts to cut heating costs. This extra equipment generally includes such types as the wellknown Franklin stove or the pot­ bellied, box or barrel stoves which may present a fire hazard through improper use of placement, he noted. These usually are solid fuel burners (wood, coal, etc.). State Police fire marshall division records - show that improper use, careless installation and negligent operation of heating equipment annually contribute to fires which claim lives and destroy property in Michigan. Persons planning to buy, install and use extra heating equipment are advised by the director to check quality of manufacture and to follow installation and operation instructions. These instructions usally involve such matters as proper equipment placement, air spaces, nearness to combustible materials, chimney size and type, application of local fire codes, etc. Halverson said residents who have any safety doubts about heating equipment now in use or intended for installation and use should contact a licensed heating contractor, their local fire department inspectors, or other fire safety authorities. Similarly, safeguards concerning building insulation should also be followed in the present trend by homeowners to bolster the cold-proofing factors in their dwellings, Halverson added. In particular, do not cover up recessed light fixtures or heater housings that protrude into concealed space.

Nashville Lions Club to sponsor first annual travelog — The Nashville Lions Club will sponsor its first annual travelog Thursday, February 3, at 8 p.m. at the Maple Valley Jr,-Sr. High School auditorium. The film, HOLIDAY INTHE HIGHLANDS, a full length feature, will be presented by its maker, Monroe MacPherson, President of MacPherson Broadcasting Enterprises, Ionia. MacPherson has made six trips to Scotland in making the film, traveling more than 10,000 miles and using approximately 15,000 feet of film. The film takes arm-chair travelers to such unusual places at Inverewe Gardens at Poolewe, a sub-tropical garden complete with palm trees that thrive in the far north due to warm ocean currents. Other remote areas include Ulapool, Thurso, John O’Groats, Wick and the cities of Inverness and Edinburgh. MacPherson has spent considerable time in what is known as MacPherson County, the home of his ancestors, where the Clan MacPherson Association of which Monroe is the United States Chairman, maintains a museum. The MacPherson castle is also featured in the film along with a number of the other famous Scottish castles. Other high points of the film include a visit to Aviemore Centre, a complex of modern hotels and recreational facilities located in the heart of the Central Highlands. The film ends with a visit to the Royal Highland Games at Braemar which are attended each year by members of the British Royal Family. MacPherson will give a personal commentary on the film with a background of authentic Scottish music in stereo. HOLIDAY IN THE HIGHLANDS is one of several films produced by MacPherson. Other subjects include Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Cont. on page 2— Pete Benton (15) makes a left-handed hook as Duane Schantz (31) gets in position under the boards.

(Maple Valley News photo) The Lions evened their season record at 4-4 by defeating the Mustangs of Montabella 68-55 on Friday. Mark and Pete Benton started as guards for Valley with Pat Powers and Les Murphy as forwards and Duane Schantz at center. The Lion defense was geared to stop Mustang shooting ace Mike Fedewa. Pat Powers drew the assignment first and held Fedewa scoreless for the first six minutes of play. Each team scored 13 points in the first quarter. The Mustangs reorganized their offense in the second quarter and Fedewa was able to score 10 of his 21 points in the second period. Senior guard Mark Benton kept pace with Fedewa, scoring 8 of his total 16 points in the same quarter and keeping the Lions in the game. Andy Joostbems, Brian Mitchell, Pete Benton, and Duane Schantz also scored for MV in the first half. Doug Halsey and Mike Hamilton were called on to spark the defense.

I adis jraat- S t said E raaec I a( be 5. CE HIM Hl INI® Extension horticulturists suggest the following lawn, garden and landscape chores are timely in January: -- Plan flower beds, the vegetable garden and home landscaping changes so you can order seeds and plants early. Order seed catalogs now. - Check bulbs, tubers, corms and stored fruits and vegetables regularly. Discard those showing signs of rot, disease or insect damage. Good ventilation and proper temperatures are necessary for successful, long­ term storage. If you potted spring­ flowering bulbs in October, you can bring them out of cold storage now for forcing later this month. : — Save ashes from your fireplace or Franklin stove to scatter in garden areas. Ashes contain potash and valuable trace elements. - Force branches of forsythia, pussy willow, quince and other flowering shrubs into early bloom indoors late this month. - Pinch back geraniums and coleus to stimulate the growth of side shoots. - Go easy on the water to your houseplants during the winter. They are not growing as rapidly as they did during the summer, sb they do not need as much water. - Place houseplants near south windows so they can get as much light as the winter weather will permit. Turn them around occasionally so that the same side isn’t always toward the light. Do not place plants on cold windowsills, and keep foliage away from cold window glass. Most houseplants come from tropical areas and will not stand intense cold. r tN* StOVf KM - Keep holiday plants healthy well into the new year by keeping them out of hot or cold drafts and away from sources of heat like heating registers, radiators, fireplaces and televisions. Give them water as they need it and fertilize according to the instructions that came with the plants or the label directions on any standard houseplant fertilizer. - Plant amaryllis bulbs for early spring bloom. - Try to avoid following the same path across the lawn when grass blades are frozen or snowcovered. Blades of grass broken now will show up in the spring. - Feed wild birds and provide them with an unfrozen supply of drinking water. Birds will come to depend on that food supply, so once you start feeding, don’t stop. - Shield landscape plants near roadways with burlap or canvas fastened to sturdy stakes to' prevent damage by de-icing salt. Avoid using salt around your home as much as possible. Instead, use sand, sawdust or urea fertilizer. - Protect outdoor plants against gnawing rodents by enclosing trunks or stems in a cylinder of hardware cloth or wire mesh. Make sure the screen stands well above the usual snow line. - Wrap the trunks of young, thin-barked trees to protect them against sun-scald injury. - Build plant protectors and supports to shield plants against heavy snow. Branches bent under snow or ice now may show no signs of damage until next summer. — Recycle your Christmas tree or its "branches as a winter plant protector. Place it on the south side of rhodendrons and other broadleaved evergreens to shield them from the drying sun during January, February and March. HOME HEATING BILLS ‘BURN YOU UP?’ BURN WOOD INSTEAD!

Main in Nashville Phone: 852-9747 �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, January 12,1977^Page 6 Snow Blindness... a winter hazard One of the most serious threats to weekend or vacationing skiers is snow blindness, but it can be prevented, says the Michigan Optometric Association. Although usually temporary, snow blindness can impair vision sufficiently to cause accidents, particularly driving accidents,* cand in some cases, can result in permanent eye damage, says Dr. Philip E. Irion, the association’s president. Skiers can prevent it, however, by wearing proper sunglasses or tinted goggles. “Snow blindness is the bleaching out of the eye’s retina to the point where the eye cannot adapt normally to indoor and night lighting levels,*’ Dr. Orion said. “It is caused by exposure for a few hours to glare created when the sun hits the snow.” He said it could be compared to the effect on the eyes of viewing a flashbulb popping. With snow blindness, the impaired vision lasts longer because it takes much more time for the eye to recover from the bright glare. There are different types of sunglass lenses skiers can choose to prevent snow blindness. These are available in ready-made ski goggles, as well as in the special goggles available for skiers wearing prescription lenses. Those who spend most of their time on the slopes - such as ski instructors - will want a tinted, impact-resistant glass lens that screens out both ultra-violet and satisfactory, but they do distort coHloer perception somewhat. cautioned skiers to be certain their sunglass lenses are dark enough to screen out about 75 to 90 percent of available sunlight. Many expert skiere find it i necessary to change density of color while skiing in order to combat changing light conditions. For this reason, pros often carry several pairss of goggles with different tints or goggles with interchangeable filters to enable them to read the terrain accurately and to compensate for flat light conditions. For the latter, yellow-tinted lenses may heighten contrast, Dr. Irion say. say.s Coated sunglass lenses that infra-red rays. Not all glass lenses do this, so it pays to ask before purchasing the lenses, Dr. Irion said. Most weekend or vacationing skiers, however, will be adequately protected by quality plastic or glass tinted lenses that do not screen out infra-red rays. Plastic lenses are lighter and more impact-resistant than glass, a plus for skiers who have a tendency to fall on the slopes or to tangle with brush and trees. Most ready-made ski goggles have plastic lenses. The best color for tinted lenses is medium or dark gray, Dr. Irion said, because it does not interfere with color perception. Medium or dark shades of green are have a mirrored look are designed primarily for wear under intense glare situations and are a good choice for skiers, Dr. Irion advises. Another lens effective against glare is the polarizing lens, although the tilting of the head can reduce its effectiveness. Some skiers may find the photochromic or sun-sensitive sunglass lenses - which can change density, going from light to dark and vice versa - adequate on the slopes. This sunglass lense screens out about 80 percent of the light at maximum; however, Dr. Irion cautions, cold temperatures do slow down the darkening process. In addition, the lenses need a, “breaking-in” period and must be subjected to a number of lightening-darkening cycles before maximum change can be achieved with relative ease. Dr. Irion cautioned that, in selecting ski goggles, skiers should be aware that curved or bubble-shaped goggles can distort vision. Also, they should be certain the frames do not block side vision.

I really didn’t mean to do it but I started the day with this combination: Ovalbumin, conalbumin, ovomucoid, mucin, globulins, amino acids, lipovitellin, lovetin, cholesterol, lecithin, lipids (fats), fatty acids, butyric acid, acetic acid, sodium chloride, lutein, zeaxanthine, Vitamin A and some phosphates. And I had that egg with some bacon. People get awfully nervous when they read some of the contents which are listed by law on ingredient labels. Nitrates, nitrites, MSG - all sound like something from outer space. But wait a minute. I just finished a book called Panic in the Pantry by Drs. Elizabeth Whelan and Frederick Stare. Published by Atheneum in 1976, this book examines what the authors call “food facts, fads and fallacies.” I realize it may not be “What’s Cooking in Michigan,” but I’m sure it could lay to rest many of the concerns Michigan shoppers may have about the foods they buy. It also reinforces what food technologists for the Michigan Department of Agriculture have been saying for years. This is that the food you buy has been inspected for wholesomeness and you can buy with confidence. As Whelan and Stare put it, the big problem is “The reeducation of American eaters. Over the past five years panic books have been bombarding them with ‘facts’ about how they are slowly eating themselves to a painful death. They are being told they are consuming lethal, cancercausing food additives. Instead, more attention should be given to the real, documented facts, specifically, the observations that additives perform necessary health-promoting functions, are under constant surveillance, and are safer than many ‘natural’ products. These statements are hardly as attention-getting as the ‘poisons-in-your-pantry’ t headlines, but they might precipitate a gradual shift from emotionalism to rationality.” Amen. The book should be available from your local library. �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, January 12,1977, Page 7 Sik$s $&&§ SsNS J STS 5 •iigj Economic^1 Family From Mr. IGA!

Page 9 State Police report traffic fatalities down for the year 1976 — Michigan recorded 1,906 deaths in traffic accidents in 1976, the third time in the last three years that the toll has been below 2,000, according to provisional figures of the State Police traffic division. The state had 1311 deaths in 1975 and 1,875 in 1974. These lower tolls followed 10 consecutive years of annual losses exceeding 2,000 and including 1969 when the all-time high state death toll of 2,487 was recorded. The 1976 loss was 95 or more than five per cent above the total killed in traffic accidents in 1975. The traffic division points out, however, that the 1976 toll will likely increase by one to two per cent when records for the year are complete. As it was in the previous two years, .credit for Michigan’s below 2,000 toll last year is shared by several factors, officers feel, which include the national lower speed limit, a slower-paced economy, some labor strikes and their effect on employment and transportation, some concerns about costs of motor vehicle operations, and the on-going traffic safety promotions of law enforcement and similar agencies. One of the Michigan decrease months for the past year was December which provisionally showed 125 deaths. This was 35 or about 22 per cent less than the total of 160 charged to the same month in 1975. Average for December in the last five years, 1971-75, was 154. High for the month was 245 in 1965 while the low was 79 in a wartime year 1942. The 78-hour holiday weekend traffic death tolls in Michigan were 12 during the Christmas period and IL during the New Year’s period, down somewhat from the 17 and 22 counts registered respectively for those times a year earlier. Of nine fatal New Year accidents, six involved a drinking factor and included three drinking drivers in the 16-25 age group. Six accidents involved two or three vehicles in collisions and five involved excessive speed factors. Three accidents were ran off roadway types. There was one multiple death accident which killed three. Unemployment insurance modified A federally funded program of supplemental unemployment insurance benefits, which permitted recipients to collect up to 13 weeks of additional unemployment benefits, was modified beginning December 19, 1976, Michigan Employment Security Commission (MESC) Director S. Martin Taylor announced recently. Entitlement under the Federal Supplemental Benefits (FSB) program is being increased, in accordance with federal law, because the insured unemployment rate averaged at or above six percent for 13 consecutive weeks ending December 4, 1976. When the insured unemployment rate is at or above six percent, Taylor explained, claimants may collect up to a total of 65 weeks of benefits through existing unemployment programs. When the rate is between 5 and 5.9 percent, new claimants may collect only up to 52 weeks of benefits. This includes up to 26 weeks of regular benefits, followed by up to 13 weeks of Extended Benefit (EB) payments, followed by effective Dec. 19, 1976 - up to 26 more weeks of FSB. Prior to December 19, claimants were eligible for only up to 13 weeks of FSB. After December 19, persons filing a new claim for FSB will receive payments equal tho their regular payments. Persons currently collecting unemployment insurance, who had established a FSB. claim during the 5 percent FSB period, or had their FSB reduced in the 5 percent period, will have their claim recomputed. Taylor said that all persons now drawing FSB will receive a written explanation of how the new FSB changes will affect their claim. He emphasized that there is no need to call MESC offices for such information. FSB is determined by the insured unemployment rate, which is the percentage of people claiming unemployment benefits compared to all employed ■workers who are covered on unemployment insurance. The insured unemployment rate (currently 6.04 percent) should not be confused with the total employment rate (currently 8.8 percent), which is the percentage of unemployed of Michigan's total labor force. The entire FSB program is due to expire next March; thereafter, applicants will be eligible only for regular and EB benefits, for a maximum of 39 weeks of benefits.

Ernest Nash State Representative OPENING DAY The 79th Legislature convenes this Wednesday in Lansing for swearing-in ceremonies; 14 House membets are new. We will meet in joint session with the Senate on Thursday to hear the Governor’s State of the State message. COMING UP - Consideration of the budget will have first priority this year; other major topics will be transportation programs, plus reform of the parole and workers’ compensation systems, of the juvenile code, and of educational financing. STUDENT LOANS - Now that the Michigan Higher Education Student Loan Authority has sold $12 million of bonds, Michigan high school seniors and college students can apply for college loans of up to $2,500 a year, or $5,000 yearly for graduate students. YOUNG SPORTS The legislature's special Committee on Youth Sports Program has found that baseball is the most popular sport among males, softball among females; that many more girls play contact sports like football than had been thought; and that’ a great many young people play in programs with few or no safety controls. The study continues this year.

Most Michigan-area spills result from fueling operations rather than leakage or dumping of oil cargo. MEDICAID COSTS - Starting next month, the Department of Social Services will begin cost­ cutting measures to save $30 million. These will include reduced payments to doctors for in-hospital services, and paying only generic-drug prices to pharmacists. INDIAN FISHING - A recent Michigan Supreme Court decision has held that Indians do not have to have fishing licenses under terms of an 1836 treaty, but that their fishing may be regulated outside reservations if it’s necessary for conservation of the fish involved. NEW LOTTERY Michigan’s fifth instant lottery game starts this Tuesday, to be called Instant Bingo. This is expected to last 8 to 10 weeks and produce about $16 million for the state, all of which will be deposited in the general fund. LAST ITEM - The final matter from last year’s session was HB 6233, which was presented to the Governor for his signature last Tuesday. This bill lowers the residency requirement for college tuition grants from 18 months to 12 months, and bars any student from getting both a state competitive scholarship and a tuition grant at the same time. Michigan "Snow Lines" open for use Jack S. Wilson, Director, Travel Bureau, Michigan Department of Commerce, announces that the Bureau’s toll free telephone “snow lines” will be manned from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. (EST) Monday through Friday and from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday beginning January 3 and continuing through March 26, 1977. “This extended service enables non-resident winter sports enthusiasts in different time zones to obtain the latest Michigan snow condition and also gives Michigan residents greater access to their Travel Bureau after regular business hours,” Wilson said. “Snow line” calleis can obtain the latest ski and snowmobile conditions, recreational activities taking place around the state, general weather and winter fishing information. According to Wilson, “Michigan is one of the nation’s favorite warm weather vacation states, but when summer turns off, we don’t. When you get to ’snow’ Michigan, winter becomes Community events... WE SELL: LOTTERY TICKETS another exciting vacation experience." The Travel Bureau toll free number for Michigan residents, outside the Lansing area, is 800292-2520. Residents of Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Washington, D.C., dial 800-248­ 5456.

Box A NaSnville, Michigan (Phone, Hastings — 945-9554) Volume 103 - Number 36, Wednesday, January 19, 1977 » Maple Valley board schedules millage vote Feb. 21. At the regular meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education held Monday, January 10, the board members approved a resolution to seek 2.7 mills for operational purposes to cover a period of two years. The millage is necessary if the school district is going to be able to continue the present educational program in the coming school years. This special election will be held on Monday, February 21. Representatives of the Board of Education, school administrators, and faculty members will be available to “ meet with any groups interested in discussing the special election and genera] school operation. Please call 852-9699 if you desire to have someone meet with your group. The last day on which persons may registere with the appropriate village or township clerks, in order to be eligible to vote at the special election is Monday, January 24, 1977. Persons registering after 5:00 o’clock p.m. on Monday, January 24, are not eligible to vote at the special school election. Under the current method of school financing through the state aid act which is based upon a state-local sharing of funds, the school district could more fully participate in the state aid act if the operational millage were increased. For districts wih a high valuation per student, the state pays more in state aid. This current school year, the school district levies 22.3 mills for operational purposes and the state aid act allows for full state participation up to a maximum of 28 mills. This school year each additional mill would provide $78,685 in operational funds for general educational programs. The general need for additional funds is the result of inflationary costs resulting in increased costs to the school district for teaching and non-teaching supplies, equipment, utilities, gasoline, and instructional and noninstructional salaries. Elam Rockwell will continue to serve as the board representative on the community school advisory committee. Board members Arlene DeCamp, John Viele, Jerry Brumm, and Wilbur Marsh will be the board members to serve on negotiations along ! it - w • •> ! ■I ■ withcentraloffice administrators Car roll Wolff and Tom Mateer. General fund bills in the amount of $18,370.99 were apprbved for payment. The December 17 payroll in the amount of$67,432.47 and the December 30 payroll in the amount of $63,885.38 were approved for transfer to the payroll account.. General approval was given the installation of fencing at the Griswold athletic field in Vermontville not to exceed $150 in cost. Representatives of the Fuller St. teaching staff were present and presented their concern over not having separate restroom facilities for the school employees. It was agreed that costs would be obtained on the installation of such facilities in one of the storage areas which is already part of the teacher’s lounge. The work will begin on this project as soon as costs are obtained and the work can be scheduled. A general discussion was held regarding the need for restroom facilities at the Griswold athletic field and also at the softball diamonds located behind the Jr.Sr. High School. It was decided tb.at further study was necessary relative to possible type of construction that would be approvable and estimated costs involved. <■ Vermontville prepares to 'sugar-off Inch upon inch of seemingly endless snow burying everything in blankets and steadily dropping temperatures plummeting well into the sub-zero range have made this one of the hardest winters in many years. It is predicted that in a couple of days Lake Michigan will freeze over for the first time in over one hundred years. The National Weather Service believes this to be the coldest winter in the 1900‘s. Fuel bills are soaring to all-time highs as the temperatures remain at near record lows. It has been reported that several industries in Ohio have shut-down operations in order to conserve energy. People should take heed and help in fuel conservation. It has been advised to keep house temperatures low and to bundle up in warm clothing and blankets. Overworked furnaces have attributed to large numbers of fires, too. Furnace filters should be checked and changed on a regular basis. The elderly, and people with heart conditions and high blood pressure should be extra careful when they venture out in the frigid weather. Many deaths have been caused by exposure to the cold, biting winter. Winter 77 will soon be over and past history. Spring will warm our bones once again. Meanwhile, take care and be weather-wisel Plans are well underway for members and friends of. the Vermontville Historical Society to enjoy another sugaring-off party when it holds its bi-monthly meeting in the Griswold Room, thursday, January 27. Following the usual seven o’clock potluck supper, a brief program will be presented. Barbara Wright, using data obtained from an 1850 census report, will tell of the importance of syrup to the early settlers; Don Shephard, supplementing her remarks, will bring further information on the part it has played in the economy of the area; and Reinhart Zemke, president of the Festival Association, will tell how it has provided the Village with the means for holding its unique festival. Behind the scenes will be Carl Thrun, who will be using his skill in boiling this Vermontville specialty to just the perfect degree so that everyone can join in the fun of an old-time sugaroff.

Prior to Friday’s contest with Mark Benton zeros in on the basketball from 15-ft. out. (Maple Valley News photo) Saranac, the Lions were tied for first place with the Redskins. The 63-56 overtime win gave Maple Valley a 4-1 league record and the lead for the first time since they joined the Tri-Central five years ago. Starting for the Lions were Mark and Pete Benton at guards, Joe Jarvie and Brian Mitchell at forwards, and Duane Schantz at center. First half play was slowed by poor shooting percentages by both squads. The Lions held a 21­ 20 point advantage at half-time. In the second half, the see-saw battle continued with neither team gaining more than a four point advantage until early in the final period. The Redskins man to man defense forced the Lions into costly errors which gave Saranac an 8 point lead that lasted until the final seven seconds of the game when Redskin Steve Metternick fouled out. Mark Benton went to the free-throw line with the score 51-50 in favor of Saranac. Benton tossed in the first to tie the score 57-51 but missed the second, sending the game into overtime. The Lions jumped out to a 58-51 lead, which the defense held until the final 37 seconds of the game. A basket by Dave Kirby and a 3 point play by Kevin Theisin both of Saranac put the score at 58-56. Mark Benton again went to the frpe-throw line with 15 seconds and converted both free throws for a score of 60-56 in favor of Maple Valley. Doug Halsey went to the charity stripe next and scored on the first of his 1 and 1 situation. Halsey then stole a Redskin pass to score the final bucket for his Lions. Final score: Maple Valley 63 - Saranac 56. The Lion comback in the fourth quarter was sparked by the fierce rebounding of Brian Mitchell and Andy Joostbems. Mitchell had 12 rebounds and 8 points for the night, and Joostbems grabbed 10 rebounds and scored 10 points. Leading the offensive attack were Marie Benton who scored 9 of his total 16 points in the fourth quarter, and Duane Schantz qho scored 10 of his total 19 points during the comeback. Benton, Schantz, Joostbems, and Halsey led a balanced scoring drive in the overtime to overpower the Redskins. Joe Jarvie added strength to the Lions* first half performance with solid rebounding and hustle on offense. Pat Powers also saw action helping to strengthen the rebounding. Pete Benton grabbed 5 rebounds while leading the Lion offense. The Lion fans should be complimented for their enthusiasm and support, especially during Friday’s contest. Their spirit helped inspire their Lions to a needed victory! Junior Varsity loses two On consecutive Friday nights, the Junior Varsity Basketball team lost to Montabella 57-48 and Saranac 56-36. The Montabella game was very exciting as Ken Hausbarger led the team with 19 points, 14 rebounds, and 5 steals. Cam Jarrard added 11 points and Tom Gurd 10. The Saranac game was less exciting as the young Lions had much difficulty getting their game going. Kevin Kilpatrick led the Lions with 9 pointe and Jeff Slocum added 8. Hal Ferguson came off the bench to lead in rebounding. “The young players are getting very frustrated because we are losing,’’ says coach Ruohonen, “but their intense determination hopefully will pay off in the game to come. We would like to mix in a win with these losses. Once again I would like to thank the loyal fans who are supporting these boys, as the crowd for the Saranac game was very good.” SSG Forest Honored Staff Sergeant Danny Forest (left), the area’s Army recruiter, recently received an Army Gold Recruiting Badge from Colonel Led Cornish (right) commander of the Army’s Midwestern Regional Recruiting Command.

Maple Valley finished ahead of Springport, Class B, Plainwell, Portland, Hamilton, Middleville, Caledonia, and Leslie. The wrestling team’s overall strength brought home the trophy for the Lions. Biyan Fassett at 98 lbs. and George Owen at 191 lbs. were individual champions. Second place finishers were Stuart Trumble at 105 lbs., Jeff Fassett at 119 lbs., and Scott Symonds at 126 lbs. Doug Hansbarger at 132 lbs. and Don Rugg at 178 lbs. placed third. Tim Burd at 155 lbs., Starr Washburn at 112 lbs., and Mike Yost at 165 lbs: all placed fourth to complete the place finishers. The tournament went very smoothly thanks to all the many hours donated by the students, faculty, parents, custodians, and interested community members. The wrestling program wishes to thank all those people for their most generous help, without w hich there would be no tournament. The actual team championship was so close that it was only decided when George Owen won his final match against a very tough competitor. Although the entire team wrestled very well, Scott Symonds, Don Rugg, and Stuart Trumble came through with unexpected brilliant performances to give the team the added lift it needed. The team travels to Lakeview Thursday to take on the very strong Wildcats in what looks to be the match that will decide the league championship.

There are 2 diesel engines and six coaches on our train. Three coaches and the engines dropped us off in the canyon and two other engines and 6 coaches from Hearst picked us up and headed for the Soo. The falls were wide with frozen water like crystal. The black rocks were so very black with their white hats bn like they were dressed for a gala occasion. All hats were different Hie pine trees were dressed in white, ruffley gowns, and even the telegraph poles were gorgeous white caps. They told us the many lakes were frozen to about 6 feet Yet, we let many fishermen off along the way and picked them up on our way back. They would get off, put on their snow shoes, pick up their ice augers and other equipment and head for the lake. Some were staying in their cabins along the lake. Their only way out was by train. The sun shone about 50 percent of the time. Between times we enjoyed a beautiful blizzard of whirling snow. We were cozy and warm, even if it was 34 below outside. Several said it was so peaceful and restful all they way - really relaxing. The sound of the wheels on the tracks were all muffled by the snow. A snow plow went ahead of the train to clear the track all the way to Hearst Coming back, we had a back car with with a snow plow underneath and the snow was rolled to each side like huge beautiful white waves. We had only one casualty - me. By Greta Firster The week-end with Ken and Greta: One Greyhound bus with Tri-county Seniors left Friday with us for the snowy far north. It was cold, damp, and windy when we left We picked up two in St John* and two in Gaylord. Near Grayling, we found icy roads which slowed us down. Soon we ran out of ice and onto perfectly dry pavement. There was no traffic either way. We ted lunch and breakfast in one at Big Boy at the Houghton Lake exit. Coffee break and for some a second lunch at St Ignace while Ken refueled the bus. Then north to Sault Ste. Marie, Canada. We stayed at a very nice motel, The Adams, on 17 North. The manager, Ms. Joyce Adams, is the most wonderful person we have met in the motel business. She just took everyone in hand to make each comfortable and to make them happy with their stay in Canada. She insisted on making dinner reservations for us at very nice restaurants. She did so many things for us above and beyond the call of duty.

They claim they never left the bus. But I slipped on the Algoma dock and dislocated two joints in my right second finger. Charles had to tell a train crew member, and I became a VIP with, I guess, every train crew member coming to see if I thought I’d survive. The conductor whittled out a splint and a girl found tape, and so I had a bandaged finger. I had pulled the big joint back in place.

The Maple Valley varsity basketball team is facing one of its toughest schedules this season, with improved and balanced league competition and several class C non-league opponents. “There are no easy games this year,” said coach Jerry Reese. “Central Montcalm, Portland, and Montabella are very tough and Saranac has one of its strongest teams in years.” One thing that the Lions have in their favor is rebounding strength and size, with Andy Joostberns, 6-foot-5, Duane Schantz, 6-foot-3, and Brian Mitchell, at 6-foot-2. “But most of the teams we play have, good size, too, plus one or two good shooters,” said coach Reese. Maple Valley has two returning starters from last year’s team in Mark‘Benton and Schantz. “These guys are our team leaders,” said Reese. Schantz made all-league 1st team center, and second team for the Lansing area last year. He had a 17-point average for the 1975-76 season. He also specializes in blocking shots. Benton is a good outside shooter, ball handler, and assist man who averaged 11 points a game last year. “Pete Benton is our floor leader, setting up plays and so forth,” said Reese. “Joostberns and Mitchell have been helping on the boards and scoring inside. Mitchell has been playing excellent basketball. “We have a pretty balanced attack,” he continued. “We’ve had as many as five players in double figures in some games. “Our key to success is- to put a lot of points on the boards."

Tom Gurd is better disciplined and is getting to be a smarter player. Cam Jarrard has lots of agility and is a great help to the team. “Ken Hansbarger has lots of potential, and is probably our best overall athlete. Rick Nisse improves every game. Kevin Kilpatrick is a fundamentally sound player and we have a good sub in Dave Shepperly who shows extreme aggressiveness on the floor. “Nyle Wells highlights our away games with his magical tricks on the bus,” laughed Ruohonen. “Everybody calls him ‘Mandrake’ Wells. “Overall, the team is very hardworking and the attitude is excellent. Our goal is is to play excellent. Our goal to play everyone, make the games exciting, and to please the crowd.” The freshmen basketball team is not very big, but they have exceptional speed and quickness. “Because of the lack of height, we are trying to take advantage of our speed by developing a fast­ breaking unit,” said coach Mike Booher. “I like to stress offense and see our guys put a lot of points on the board. We’re working a lot on shooting percentages from both the field and the free throw line. The guys are getting better all the time. “The scoring is > pretty balanced, but we need more work on rebounding and defense. I’d like our guys to limit the other team to 45 points or less. “Our guards are one of our stronger positions. Jeff Mead, Chris Beebe, and Dave McGinley are all good all-around players. Our center, Doug Cock, has been our number one rebounder and scorer in the early stages of the season. Don Fox is our number two rebounder.

WE’LL TRADE Vermontville Cub Scout pack 649 These past few weeks have been very busy and seem to have crept up on us so fast that I didn’t get the Christmas activities written up before me and my family went on a 2 weeks vacation to Florida. Well, I’m back now and will try and tell you all about our Christmas activities. On. Dec. 16 we held our pack meeting which was our annual Christmas party. We had a couple of skits by Den 3 (Kay Rice’s den) and also one by the Webelos. They sang a bunch of South Vermontville — The South Vermontville Birthday Club will be held this week at the home of Nancy Conkey. Our December meeting was a Christmas party, and we all went to the Pour House on M­ 78 for lunch and then exchanged gifts.

On Friday night, Dec. 21, the Cub Scouts and leaders went Christmas caroling and presented most of the Senior Citizens in the village with a small good-will gift that they had made at a recent den meeting. They then returned to the Methodist Church for cocoa and cookies. Each cub scout was given a rocket kit before Christmas, and they are to assemble this kit and make a rocket which they will fly at the next pack meeting January 27 at Maplewood School at 7:30 p.m. We will also have a simple uniform inspection to check and explain what they need for the real inspection which will be given in March. Our Blue and Gold Banquet will be held February 26. More about that later. We are also planning a sliding party for Sunday, January 30 at the big hill in town.

The 2.7. mills would provide additional funds enabling the school district to continue offering the same basic education program and related activities program. Application forms for absentee ballots may be ontained by contacting the school administration office, 11090 Nashville Hwy., Vermontville, 49096. It isn’t necessary that a person be a taxpayer to be eligible to vote upon the millage proposal. Inflationary costs have resulted in the need for additional funds to continue the present program.

The present mileage per day this school year is 1,546 miles when all trips are in operation. In addition to providing transportation to other school districts for students with special needs, the school district has expanded the local special education program through the employment of five additional teachers since the 1971-72 school year. Special education teachers are now available at both the elementary and secondary grade levels. Basic classroom programs including two programs for the eucable mentally impaired, two programs for the emotionally impaired, and two programs for the learning disabled.

Griffin, R-Mich., is pushing legislation to help them comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OSHA) without triggering enforcement. “We want to get this legislation passed this year,” said Griffin, Michigan’s senior senator. “We think that this year, we can win.” Last year the House passed a similar measure but the proposal, cosponsored by Griffin, did not win Senate approval. Chief sponsor of this year’s bill (S. 21) is Sen Peter V. Domenici R-N.M. The legislation would permit employers subject to OSHA requirements to consult with the Labor Department on what Griffin termed the “confusing, complex and highly technical” provisions of the law. Currently, the Labor Department is prohibited under OSHA from providing on-site educational and consultative services except as part of an enforcement proceeding. Lifting that ban, said Griffin, “would be especially helpful to those small businesses that are unable to hire private consultants” to advise them on OSHA compliance. “The thrust of this bill,” he Calendarof Events Barry County Cooperative Extension Service Jan. 26 Dairy Youth Developmental Committee Meeting, Extension Office, 8 p.m. Jan. 28 - 29-. 4-H Teen Horse Leaders Workshop, Kettunen Center.

He described the bill as “a step toward fulfilling the purpose of OSHA, which is to provide the safest possible work place for the 65 million employees” covered by the act nationwide. “On the whole,” Griffin said, “this measure should result in more informed employers and thus improve compliance with OSHA standards.” Get 30 Free! fi Simon ' Pharmacy JOHN SIMON, R.

Tuesday the Lions defeated Middleville for the second time this season by the score of 62-54.1 Pete and Mark Benton started at guard for MV. Les Murphy and Brian Mitchell at forward, and Duane Schantz at center. The Lions jumped out to a 14-9 point first quarter lead with balanced scoring from the Benton brothers. Brian Mitchell and Les Murphy but the visitors from Middleville outscored MV 16-10 in the second quarter and went into the lockerroom at half­ time with a 25-24 point lead. The final half was controlled by the Lions. They dominated third period action with solid rebounding and defensive hustle. Mitchell and Andy Joostbems controlled the defensive rebounding and combined with Mark Benton and Duane Schantz to tally a 27 point effort and a 57­ 37 point lead going into the final quarter. The.

Teammates Andy Joostbems and Duane Schantz each added 12, Brian Mitchell added 7 and Pete Benton and Les Murphy netted 2 each. Doug Halsey, Mike Hamilton, and Joe Jarvie also saw action and contributed to the win. Excellent free throw shooting gave the Lions the edge as they hit 18 of 21 from the charity stripe. Five men scored in doublt fibures to bring home a win from league rival Portland on Friday. Andy Joostbems and Pete Benton led MV scorers with 13 apiece. Mark Benton and Duane Schantz each added 12 points and Brian Mitchell 10. Also adding to the winning score were Doug Halsey and Pat Powers. The final score was 67-54 in favor of the Lions. The Lions took a 15-10 point first quarter advantage with 12 of those points coming from Mark Benton and Duane Schantz. Mark’s points came from shots from the outside, and Duane’s scoring came from inside assisted by Mark. MV held their lead at the half 26-21. The Lions continued to control the tempo of the game in the third period but Raider Scott Baker, who scored 14 of his total 18 points in the second half, helped his team tie the score at 52-52 with 3 minutes left in the game. The Raider offense was unable to score as the tough Lion defense held their hosts to two points while scoring 15 points themselves. Portland’s full court press was ineffective against the Lions and caused the Raiders to get into foul trouble. The Lions hit on 19 of 32 free-throws to give them the margin of victory. Andy Joostbems and Brian Mitchell continued domination of the boards grabbing 12 rebounds apiece. Pete and Mark Benton combined their many ball handling skills to break the Portland press and set up their teammates for scoring. With the opposing team’s double teaming of Duane Schantz it was easier to find an open man to score for the Lions. The Lions are now 5-1 in league play and continue in first place. Central Montcalm, who handed Maple Valley its only league loss, remains in second place with a 4­ 2 league record. A three way tie for third exists between Lakeview, Montabella, and Saranac with a 3-3 record. Portland, 2-4, and Vestaburg 1-5 round out the list at 4th and 5th place respectively. The Lions host Vestaburg this Friday. Junior Varsity scares Portland Friday night they are tightening up on their shots and are not playing as well as they could be playing. “It is a remarkable group of young men, though, as their attitudes reflect throughout the entire game. They never seem to stop hustling and are certainly deserving of winning some ball games.” Maple Valley plays Vestaburg at home Friday night Game time is 6:30 p.m. The Maple Valley Junior Varsity jumped off to a 12-0 lead against Portland Friday night, only to have a cold shooting third quarter and lose the game 69-56. Jeff Zemke led Maple Valley with 17 points and Cam Jarrard and Ken Hansbarger added 10 points each. Jarrard also led the team with 12 rebounds. “We need a win to ease the tension,’’ says Coach Ruohonen. “The boys are trying so hard, Maple Valley wrestlers finish second in tourney finished third. Championships were earned by Bryan Fassett at 98 lbs., Jeff Fassett at 119 lbs., Brian Wendorf at 145 lbs., and George Owen at 191 lbs. The entire team wrestled extremely well throughout the entire day. Everyone won at least one match and put forth the optimum effort to achieve a very good result. Bryan Fassett topped the day off by being named the recipient of the Randy Cooper Memorial Trophy, which is given to the tournament’s most outstanding wrestler as voted by the officials. Last Saturday, Maple Valley’s Wrestling Team finished second out of 12 teams at the Union City Invitational Wrestling Tournament. Hudson placed first with Maple Valley second, followed by state rated Class B Columbia Central, Hamilton, Union City, Constantine, Delton, Manchester, Napoleon, Fennville, Clinton, and Lakeshore.

Unfortunately for the citizens of this State, the Parole Board has installed a revolving door in Jackson Prison and hardened criminals who have committed terrible acts of violence, including murder, armed robbery, and rape are being released prematurely to once again prey upon the law abiding public. Do I overstate the problem? Here are some examples of crimes committed in Oakland County since I was elected Prosecutor in 1973. You decide if I have exaggerated. • On May 21, 1973, Police Officer Henry Wolfe was shot in the back by two parolees whom he had stopped on a minor traffic violation. Defendant Ruben Herrera, although ordered to serve 15 to 25 years for he first murder in 1965, was released early in 1973 after serving only 7‘/z years. The co-defendant Charles Meadows, though ordered to serve 3 to 15 years for armed robbery, was also released early on parole after serving only 22 months. • On June 27,1973, Milford High School Senior Deborah Bingham was found strangled to death in the trunk of her father’s car. Later that day Walter Lee Corbin, on parole for only 37 days, was arrested and charged with the homicide. He had been ordered to serve 2% to 5 years for the abduction of a female whom OPEN LETTER Following a bereavement, all notes of condolence should be answered personally.

Box A, Nashville, Michigan (Phone, Hastings — 945-9554) Volume 103 — Number 38, Wednesday February 2,1977 Council proposes to expand sewage collection system Earlier last year, the State and Federal Governments said that the Village of Nashville must build a new sewage treatment plant. They said the existing plant is no longer adequate to meet government requirements by discharging waste in the Thorpapple River. The village council and an engineering firm made a cost analysis of the treatment needs for the entire village area. The findings were outlined in detail at the public hearing held last December 16. At that meeting, the alternatives selected by the council and the public were to expand the sewage system, and treat the sewage with aerated pond and lancLdisposal. The treatment facility will have to be constructed before the end of the year or the government will issue a court order to build it. “If we build the new plant this year, we can receive $1,021,660 in State and Federal funding towards the $1,365,579'project,” said Tim Smith, ■ Nashville director of public services and safety. “If we wait, we’ll have to pay the entire costs. There’s a big difference between $343,9919 and the total cost of the system.” M.V. secondary school curriculum improvements In an effort to meet the growing needs of the students at Maple Valley Junior-Senior High School, the curriculum has constantly been evaluated and improved. Improvements at the junior high school level include: shop and home economics have been increased from semester offerings to full year courses to allow more exposure to these programs for the students; junior high choir has been added to the curriculum; a half time counselor has been added in an effort to provide students more of an opportunity to meet with a counselor; an additional section at the seventh and eighth grade has been provided in order to reduce the class size. Improvements at the high school level include: increasing the number of English classes from 5 offerings to 20 semester courses to allow students to concentrate their studies in their interest areas; the addition of 2 vocational education classes which are taught locally, 1 two hour Office Practice class and 2 two and one half hour Building Trades classes; a two week Summer Forestry program has been added to the vocational agriculture program; increasing the number of science ccourse offerings from 4 classes to 7 classes; through the county vocational program held in Lansing, 11 two hour classes are offered in the morning and 17 two hour classes are offered in the afternoon in an effort to allow students the opportunity to gain vocational skills while attending high school. Costs of the project include the rehabilitation of the old system. The council has proposed to expand the sanitary sewer collection system to help pay for the costs. “The expansion of new lines will add almost 50 percent more customers to the system,” said Smith. “Sewer users would increase from 425 to 618. If these additional customers are added to the system, the cost to the present users for the bond issue and operating expenses will be greatly reduced.” The proposed sewage extension system costs amount to $1,131,100, but State and Federal grants will pay for $638,400 of the project, leaving $474,700 to be paid by the people of Nashville. The citizens of Nashville will have an opportunity to vote on the proposal February 21, at an advisory referendum. “After October 1, the government will no longer supply construction grants for sewage collection systems,” said Smith, “so if the proposal is voted down, it’ll be our last chance to receive the grant and we'll have to pay the whole thing should we decide to expand in the future.” If the voters approve the project, the council will include the sewer extensions along with the sewage treatment construction program in 1977. The proposition on the ballot will be the expansion of the sanitary sewage system to include the majority of the remainder of the people in the village who are not already on the system. If the proposal passes, the new sewage lines will be constructed on North Main Street up to Brumm Road (east side only), Philadelphia Street, Grant Street, Bridge Street (one block’ south of Philadelphia), and 1500 to 1800 feet of kellogg Street Areas where the sewer lines would be rebuilt, would be Lentz Street, Durkee Street (from M-79 to part of Casgrove), and some construction on Francis and Kellogg Streets. Methods of raising local share monies for only the construction of the treatment facility will be 2 mills general obligation spread over the village for 25 years, plus 2'2 times the present sewer rates. “The council voted Thursday night, that if the proposal to expand the sewage collection system passes, the entire treatment and collection system would be paid for with a $500 charge for the people who are present sewer customers, who will have sewers rebuilt in front of their property, which is the estimated cost of running lateral lines to the property lines,” Smith said. “For the areas that don’t presently have sewer lines the cost will be a $500 connection fee plus a $12 per frontage foot property charge. Two and onehalf times the present sewer rates will spread over the entire collection system users. A 2 mill levy spread over the Village for about 5 years may or may not be needed should the voters pass the expansion of the sewage collection system.” Athletic program involves 393 Jr.& Sr. high students The_ Maple Valley Schools athletic program involves three hundred ninety-three (393) Jr.Sr. high school students. There are two hundred twenty-nine (229) boys and one hundred sixtyfour (164) participating in athletic events with other school districts. Some of these students will participate in three sports, whereas, many of the students are participating in two sports. The school district is a member of the Tri-Central Athletic Association which includes Portland Public Schools, Saranac Community Schools, Central 'Montcalm Schools in Stanton, Carson City-Crystal Area Schools', Lakeview Community Schools, Montabella Community Schools, Edmore, and Vestaburg Community Schools.

Our offense should pick up our defense. “We’re a balanced team, but like any squad we have our good points and bad points. Kaye Hughes, Dixie Williams and Kelly Copen can really get up and spike the ball, and we have a couple of very good servers. Dixie really is an exceptionally hard spiker and server. “Carmaine Janousek is very quick and agile, and is a good setter.

YoiT can help by turning down your thermostat and turning off unnecessary lights. TAX RULES - Many people have complained that this year’s Michigan income tax forms expand the definition of “household income,” with the result that property tax credits turn out to be lower than anticipated. These rules follow the new federal income tax guidelines. However, the legislature may see fit to change Michigan’s rules back to the way there were. ALIENS’ ADDRESS - This is the last week for all nom diplomatic aliens in Michigan to report their .current address as required by federal law on a yearly basis. You can get address report cards at any United States Post Office. FAIR SHARE -Last session the House but not the Senate approved a bill which would have set up equalization of all real property by class; this would have corrected the. current situation, in which one lump-sum equalization factor is applied to all classes. The bill’s Republican sponsor has said he will soon re­ introduce it. BOND SALE Michigan’s improving economic picture was reflected in the recent sale of $31 million in bonds by the Housing Development Authority at a low rate of interest This low rate reflects confidence in the Authority and in Michigan’s economy in general. Budget Fund '- A major topic this year will undoubtedly be the establishment of a budget stabilization fund, advocated by both the Governor and the Speaker of the House, to help the state get through bad times. This idea began as a Republican bill several years ago. Bees' DISEASE - Legislation covers a wide range of topics. One new law gives the Department of Agriculture the power to suppress serious disease among bees, and requires registration and inspection of apiaries by the Department.

WE SELL: LOTTERY TICKETS “It is with great reluctance that we advise motorists not to travel when it snows heavily,” Moffat explained. “However, we have an obligation to warn motorists that with reduced salting on highways, extra time will be needed to reach destinations during heavy snow periods and that road conditions could necessitate postponing or even canceling trip's,” he said. “This is one more indication that insufficient money is available in the Michigan highway fund to build and maintain highways and at the same time provide more funds for public transportation,” Moffat said. “Some source other than motorists must be found to fund public transit programs now being discussed.” Moffat pointed out that the Highway Commission’s previous policy of getting down to bare pavement as quickly as possible by heavy salting has been modified. Most - salting operations now are done following and not during a snowfall as in the past “This means that while major roads may remain passable even during -severe storms due to plowing operations, many intersections, bridges and freeway ramps will be slippery and hazardous because of modified salting operations,” Moffat stated, Motoristsen route and finding themselves in a snowstorm could be forced off the-road because of hazardous driving conditions that might not have existed with a more liberal salting policy, Auto Club noted. “Driving times for thousands of Southeast Michigan motorists were doubled during the morning rush hout on Jan. 11 since most intersections and many bridges and freeway ramps were not salted following the Jan. 10 storm that dumped seven inches of snow,” Moffat said. “Some major intersections in the Detroit area had lines more than one-half mile long following that snowstorm and much of the next day as only two or three cars were able to creep through intersections before traffic signals changed,” he added. Auto Club said that state and county road officials emphasize that near-zero weather and high winds made salting operations nearly impossible during and after the Jan. 10 Storm. Wayne County road crews, which maintain nearly 900 miles of state highways, have cut in halfthe amount of salt used, from 2,000 pounds per mile in 1975 to. 1,000 pounds the past two winters. The county crews often are Grand Haven and Cadillac linked an increase in wintertime accidents and cars sliding off the highway to the state’s salting procedures. “Roads are not in as good shape as they used to be and accidents have occurred here that probably shouldn’t have because of the roads,” said a Cadillac-area police officer. A high-ranking state highway official said that road salting generally won’t be done if the temperature drops below 20 degrees and that many road crews are plowing but not dropping salt until after a snowfall. A check of Auto Club offices across Michigan found that a number of AAA office managers felt that an increase in December traffic accident reports could be linked directly to roads not being salted during or after a snowfall as in the past making only one pass with salt trucks instead of two or three as in previous years. Road crews in Highway District 8 — comprised of Washtenaw, Monroe, Jackson, Ingham, Lenawee and part of Eaton County - are using 35 percent less salt on highways this winter than a year ago.

Scrap dealer offers to remove junked cars from Nashville The winter of 77 required. All the equipment is working long hours just to keep up with the blizzard conditions. School superintendent Carroll Wolff has closed schools four days in a row, and seven all together this winter. He said he would announce future closings on a day to day basis. j-^If we do open school this week,” said Wolff, “We’ll have trouble making our complete bus routes.” Authorities are advising people to stay off the roads unless it’s absolutely necessary, use the telephone only in emergencies, turn down thermostats to 65 degrees for fuel conservation, and to bundle up when outside. The groundhog should stick his head outside this week, which traditionally means that only six weeks of winter remain. Next summer when you're hot and muggy and pray for a cool breeze, remember the winter of ’77. School snow-clearing crews are doing their best plowing the drifting snow so that the parking lots will be ready when school gets back in session.

Attorney General Kelley has also been investigating the possibility of fraud in the Michigan medicaid program on the part of providers of medical services. That investigation was requested by the Michigan legislature. Kelley said: “We now need the power of subpoena and the power to grant immunity to witnesses that the grand jury possesses in order to go forward in the case. “Both the investigation of medicaid and welfare will be included in the grand jurty investigation.” Kelley said the investigation has not, and will not, concentrate on any one group of people. “There are three groups of people involved, those who are paid by the state to provide services to the poor, those who receive welfare services and money, and those who work in the Department of Social Services. We are not out to make any of these groups the scapegoat of this investigation. But where we find evidence of criminal wrongdoing, we will prosecute.” Kelley said that the investigation to date has already developed a substantial number of leads and that with the additional tools available to the grand jury he was confident indictments would be forthcoming.

VALENTINE’S February 14 is traditionally the day for the expression of Idve, aimed at both the old and young. Valentine's Day has become the occasion to display affection for sweethearts, family and friends alike. More than ever before, we as a people, must show love and compassion for one another for all the days of our lives, f g Valentine's Day is as good a place as any to start saying "I love you". “Using this method of payment, some residents would have to pay as much as $3,000 or $4,000 towards the project. I know of one individual who would be charged $13,000 to have a sewer line built in front of his property. “We can’t see why a certain few people should have to pay these outrageous costs for the same service that everyone else gets for much less. If the costs of the projects are spread evenly among the 208 grant eligible homes, it’ll cost each home $1,200. To us, this method seems much more equitable.” (A letter to the people of Nashville, concerning this issue can be seen inside.) Maple Valley Millage Vote Feb. 21 The Maple Valiey School District registered electors will be voting upon an additional 2.7 mills ($2.70 on each $1,000 of state equalized valuation) for a period of two years at the special election of February 21. Approval of this millage proposal would enable the school district to more fully participate in the state aid act providing additional funds enabling the school district to continue offering the same basic educational program. Based upon the present state aid act, which is based upon a state-local concept, the school district would receive approximately $78,685 in operational funds for each mill with the state’s share of this amount being approximately sixty-five percent or $51,223 and the local share being approximately thirty-five percent or $27,462 as related to the current school aid act. The school district, like other business operations, is experiencing added cost of operation because of inflationary costs. The school district would continue to be eligible to receive Section 27 funds from the state to help pay the principal and Cont. page 2 col. 3 Students achieve honors at KCC Remember those special people who make your life dear. , Maple Valley stores offer perfect gifts for this loving time of year.

Being a property owner in the village, I read the article closely, knowing that this was an extremely large project and therefore a very costly one to the people of our village. The article, as I read it, was very confusing, so I read it again and became even more confused. I started asking questions downtown, again confusion. No one knew quite enough to answer the majority of my questions. In the process of asking these questions, I came across several other concerned citizens asking practically the same questions. So we kind of joined together, hoping to get some facts and to make them public knowledge to all concerned. As everyone knows, Williams and Works of Grand Rapids is the engineering consultants for this project. We therefore had an appointment made with them last Thursday afternoon to try and get some facts from them directly. We did get some questions answered and by putting those answers with the answers we received from Councilmen Mason, Hinckley, Spoelstra and Kent and most of all from the Director of Public Services & Safety, Mr. Tim Smith, we have arrived at the following facts: There are two completely separate parts to the proposed sewage collection system. PART .1 is the sewage treatment facility which will have to be constructed before the end of the year or the government will issue a court order to build it. And if it is built before the end of the year,* we can receive $1 ,$21,660 in State and Federal grants toward the $1,365,579 project. This project is needed and extremely expedient to do now while the Federal grants are available. As stated in last week’s paper, the method of raising local monies for ONLY the construction of the sewage treatment facility will be 2 mills General Obligation spread over the village for 25 years, plus 2% times the present sewer rates. But, quoting from last week’s article, if 50 percent more customers were added to the system, the cost to the present MONDAY Remember you Valentine with... eb. 14^ CARDS Beautiful individual, and relative cards Priced from... 25 50 BRACHS I CANDY [ Beautiful heart boxes...Choose from...'/lb.,'/sib., or from styles in our lib. boxes. gifts hear/ shdped necklaces, la pins, and bracelets, Full l ine of packaged VALENTINES For School Exchange Priced at.. 59-69' 79 115-117 N. Main in Nashville users for the bond issue and operating expenses will be greatly reduced. This brings us to part two of the proposed sewer expanding. PART 2 - This was the part that was most cloudy and not very well explained. We have found out what it consists of and now wish to inform the public about it. All the figures (dollars and number of homes) are taken from the only printed proposal received from Williams and Works and presented to the councilmen. The two most important facts, not even made known in last week’s article, are that the total LOCAL SHARE COST of $474,700 there are two completely separate types of sewer additions. These two types are: 1. Government Granteligible areas, and 2. In-eligible areas, meaning areas that the government will not help pay. Let’s discuss the Grant Eligible areas first. This involves 208 homes. In 1972, the Federal Government surveyed our village and those areas that were at that time two-thirds populated with houses were made eligible for new sewers, and that they (the Government) would give us a grant which would pay 80 percent of the cost of putting in those main sewer lines. This, greatly reducing the cost to those 208 houses involved. Taking the figures from the only printed Williams and Works proposal that was given to the councilmen, this is what it would look like: •A. Number of Houses served 208 •B. Total Project Cost $916,000.00 •C. Cost, Not eligible for Government Grant, but necessary to complete project. This is a part of the local share cost-$118,000.00 •D. Grant Eligible Cost of Project of which the Government will pay 80 percent total $798,000.00 •E. 20 percent of Item D. local share cost - $160,000.00 oTherefore, Total local share cost of the Grant Eligible sewer extentions would be, $278,000.00 Now let’s take a little closer look at these 208 grant eligible homes and other facts particular to this part of the sewer extention. First of all, where are they; These include the following: 1. North Main - North of the Thornapple River to Brumm Road, and east on Kellogg Street to the second curve, and west on Philadelphia Street to the end, including South Grant and South Division Street. 2. East Side of Town - All Lentz Street and the following streets Continued from front­ interest op the outstanding bond debt. This current school year the state is paying $48,666 of the total cost of $79,165 which actually represents 1.62 mills that would be necessary at the local level if. the school district weren’t eligible to participate in the section 27 program. During the 1975-76 school year, there were five hundred thirty (530) K-12 school districts in the State of Michigan. In relationship eto general fund revenues per’pupil, the Maple Valley School District ranked 524 out of the 530 K-12 school districts. Therefore, 523 school districts in the state had a higher per pupil incomeat the local level than the Maple Valley School District.

Reed Street to Homer Street, Gregg Street to Edna Street, Washington Street to Edna Street, Sherman Street from Lentz Street to East Street and south on East Street to the Quaker Brook. o3. South Side of Town - South of Quaker Brook - South Main Street to Casgrove, all of Francis Street to the Goodner home, all of Pearl Street, all of south Durkee Street to the New Standard Oil Office, Casgrove Street running from the Pufpaff home on the west end of Casgrove Street and east to State Street, also all the south State Street homes, and the south side only of Fuller Street west of Main Street running out to the Spidel home. oA map can be seen at the Village Hall and these areas are marked with red ink on that map. These above areas include 208 homes. Of these 206 homes, Williams & Works and the Director of Public Services & Safety, Tim Smith states that 59 of them are at present paying sewer bills and have for several years. This would include all of Lentz Street and several homes south of the Quaker Brook. Williams & Works, Tim Smith and certain councilmen further have stated that because these 59 are at present hooked up on a sewer main line of one type or another, it would not be fair to charge them for the new main lines that would run in front of them, but charge them only for the allocated amount to do the digging up of their present lateral lines, so as to connect them to the new main lines. The meaning of the - lateral lines - is the line running from their house or property line to the new main line. But the big factor here is that this leaves the new main lines in front of their homes unpaid for. Therefore, Williams & Works, Tim Smith and certain councilmen have stated that the approximate cost of these main lines should be absorbed by the Sewage Treatment Project, and that amount would be $100,000. This brings us back to the total local share cost of the New Sewer Extentions which is $278,000.00. So, taking away the $100,000 mentioned above, that leaves a cost to the 208 new homes of $178,000.00. Now ifyou break that down it would work out something like this: You have the 59 homes that are to pay the lateral hook-up fee only, and 149 homes that would pay the lateral hook-up fee, plus the balance of the cost of the main lines. It has been stated that the actual cost of the lateral hook-up would be an average of $425.00 to $450.00. So, let’s use a lateral charge of the $450.00 which was originally suggested by Williams & Works on that same written proposal given to the councilmen. Therefore: •Lateral Hook-up Fee X 208 homes equals $93,600.00 •Balance of Project - $178,000.00 minus $93,600.00 equals $84,400.00 Now another important fact here is the factthat in a project of this size there is always a factor called - Cost Over-Ride, in other words it sometimes cost more than estimated. So, let’s add some just in case, let’s say instead of a balance of $84,400.00 it might go as high as a balance of $110,000.00. So, we would then take that amount and divide it by �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, February 9,1977 — Page 3 Continued from page 2— the 149 homes that are to pay it. That would be $738.00 each or a total cost of new sewer hook-ups of $1,188.00 each or round it off at $1,200.00. The repayment of this $1,200.00 fees would be the method of the over all debt retirement. It has been stated that these could be paid by several methods. For instance, those who wanted to could pay immediately or it could be stretched over 15 years and added to the tax bills each year; an interest rate would be charged for this method. These and others that could be suggested to the council would aid them with that decision. The councilmen would be the ones to ultimately make the decision. Now we would like to point out that this is with absolutely no charge for any empty lots or lot equivalents. But, we feel it would only be fair if a lot is built on or is sold and a new dwelling is built, that they would at that time pay that same amount that the others have paid (approximately $1,200.00).. This would help pay for future maintenance and quicker debt retirement. It should also be pointed out that these 200+ new customers will be paying the 2 mills and 2% times the sewer rates which will give a much quicker debt retirement to the Sewage Treatment Project. Now, we are sure that those people that are on the proposed extentions, who read your last weeks paper and have done any figuring have realized a large decrease per home below that $12.00 per foot plus $500.00 hook­ up fee. For instance, if you have only 100 foot frontage that would be 100 feet X $12.00 per foot equals $1,200.00 plus $500.00 hook­ up fee for a total of $1,700.00. A lot of these 208 homes have a lot more than the 100 foot frontage. Several that we have talked to have figured their cost to be over $3,000.00 - $4,000.00 and up. why The reason for those much higher figures is because our village councilmen had proposed to do an additional 31 homes at a cost of $263,000. That’s a total local share cost for 31 homes of $263,000. We repeat this twice because there is absolutely no Federal Grants at this time to pay for this proposed second part of the project (These areas are in blue on the map at the Village Hall.) So, what happens when you add these areas? By adding these in-eligible 31 homes (No Federal Grant) the total local ... "I|l||| , GIFTS ' share cost of $278,000 would skyrocket to $441,000. Now, remember the 59 homes that will pay for the lateral hook-up fee only and this is how it would figure: •239 lateral fees X $500.00 (that’s right $500.00) equals $119,500. •Then take away the 59 homes that are not to pay for main lines, that leaves 180 homes to pay the balance of $321,500.00. •That would be $1,786.00 each or a total cost of new sewers to those The Lions maintained their The Lions continued their 180 homes of $2,286.00 (figuring firm hold on the league lead last winning streak by handing their homes only - not lots) week by defeating Central Lakeview hosts a 72-57 loss on Of course, this didn’t look very Montcalm 70-52 on Tuesday and Friday.

Loss in the blaze, which was extinguished by Vermontville and Nashville firemen, was estimated at several thousand dollars. The alarm was sounded about 9 p.m. Firemen said the entire east outside wall of the home had to be ripped off so they could get at the fire in the old remodeled farm house, which is one-half mile east of Vermontville on Vermdntville Highway. The flames got all the way to the attic before firemen caught up with them, resulting in extensive water damage in the extinguishing process.

People who might be helped by SSI payments still haven't applied The supplemental security income (SSI) program has begun its 4th year, but social security officials believe there may still be some people in Barry County who might be helped by the payments but have not applied. The SSI program makes monthly payments to people with little or no income and limited resources who are 65 or older or blind or disabled. About 453 people get SSI payments in Barry County, according to Gail Russell, social security district manager. “But we believe there are others who may be eligible but for one reason or another haven’t applied, and we would like to get in touch with them,” he said. Some people may think that disabled children aren’t eligible for SSI payments if they live with their parents, according to Gail Russell. Some may thingk that people 65 or over aren’t eligible if they live with a son or daughter or in an institution. “But under the law, they may be eligible for some payments,” he said. “People with some other income and people living in another’s household may get reduced SSI payments. But even if the payment is only $25 or $30 a Nashville VFW 8260 & Auxiliary DANCE SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12 Band...

The Grand Rapids social security office is at 110 Michigan N.W. The phone number is 456-2241. The, amount of the monthly payments eligible people get depends in part on other income they might have. The Federal SSI payment can be as much as $167.80 a month for one person and $251.80 for a couple.

Rockwell Secretary, Board of Education Farmers warned to buy pesticides from only reputable firms— Michigan farmers and consumers were warned today by the Michigan Department of Agriculture to purchase any needed pesticides only from reputable agents or firms they know.

The boys don’t realize how any adults contribute to their program, but we who make arrangements for their activities do. Maker’s I.G.A., Randall’s Lumber, Maple Valley Florist, Wheeler’s Marine and Carl’s Supermarket have all helped supply our material needs. Different downtown merchants each year have loaned us window space for our birthday displays and we thank them. Our sponsor, the Nashville V.F.W. Post No. 8260 has been our greatest booster, lending their time, backing and facilities whenever we needed them. Without their support, the boys would have no scouting program. The schools and Mr. Ernest Jacoby have allowed us a meeting place each month. We appreciate this service and try to emphasize to the Cubs that we must respect this privilege. Mr. Harold Christiansen is another behind the scenes supporter of scouting. Much of the operating money for the scouts comes from their recycling program. Harold keeps the papers, glass, aluminum and cardboard sorted and packaged. He also contacts the companies when enough material accumulates to be picked up. The community has been generous in bringing their REGISTRATION NOTICE FOR VILLAGE ELECTION Monday, March 19 22 T# tin Qualified Becton of the Village of (Precinct No. Z ) BARfW Notice .* hereby given that in conformity with the "Michigan Election Law", I, the undesigned Clerk, will upon any day, except Sunday and a legal holiday, the day of any regular or special election or primary election,, receive for reglitration the name of any legal voter in raid Township, City or Village not already registered who may A APPLY TO ME PERSON ALIY for luck registration.

J-Ad Graphics Corp, who print the Maple Valley News have matched our best efforts in recruiting new scouts and especially leaders. Back in September, their front page story brought out some volonteers who kept the program from ending from lack of adult leaders. They have continued through the year to print our news and reports of our meetings. Thank you each and all at J-Ad Graphics. The following people have the most contact with the boys and do the work of running the Pack: Linda Farrah, Nancy Carl, Pat Shumaker, Pat and Maynard McClelland (den leaders); Robert Stump and Ray Ashcraft (Webelos leaders); Rose Mary Thompson, Sandy Gillum and Connie Meade, who serve on the committee; Sally Peake Xden leader coach); Diane Williams (den leader and treasurer); Sharon Bishop (our secretary). They are all volunteers and will serve only a few short years. Their contribution is more necessary to keep the boys interested. This birthday month for scouting is an appropriate time to thank them for their time and efforts. The Scouting Program in Nashville has undergone a successful revitalization this past year and we hope to keep growing, both in size and experiences for the Cubs. We have accomplished a lot this year but we hope to make 1977 an even better year for scouting in Nashville.

UTILITY STAMPS - I have co­ sponsored a bill to establish a state utility stamp program for eligible senior citizens. It would operate similar to the federal food stamp program. Seniors with incomes less than $8,000 a year would be eligible for stamps. WELFARE HOTLINE A Republican colleague has suggested the creation of a tollfree “hot line” to allow Michigan residents to anonymously report incidents of welfare fraud. This would be similar to the narcotics hotline presently run by the State Police. SHORT SENATE In a rare situation, the Michigan Senate is operating with only 35 of its constitutional 38 members. Two senators were elected to Congress in November and resigned at the first of the year, and another senator retired to private life at the end of January. Special elections will fill the first two vacancies on March 23. BUNDLE UP - Governor Milliken has asked all Michiganians to conserve energy to save fuel.

On January 28, the home basketball contest with Vestaburg was postponed. Because this is a league game, it must be rescheduled if at all possible. By mutual agreement, Feb. 22 will be the rescheduled date for this game. This means that Vestaburg has had to drop its non-league game with Morely- Stanwood on February 22 and Maple Valley has dropped Caledonia on the same date. Caledonia, in turn, would not have been able to play Maple Valley because it must make up a previously postponed league contest with Hudsonville. The basic reason for complicated rescheduling is twofold: The Michigan High School Athletic Association allows schools to play only two games per week. Many schools asked to have this rule waived because of the circumstances, but all requests were denied. Secondly, the league contests which have a bearing on the league championship must be rescheduled if at all possible. Hopefully the weather will hold and die Lions will be able to roll on to the Tri-Central basketball championship. MEMBER NMAper Air Force Academy nominees included Nashville youth Though babies were born to be kissed all the time, the CysticFibrosis Foundation of Michigan is asking state residents to kiss their children with special attention during “Kiss Your Baby Week” (February 6th through 12th). The purpose of this week-long educational venture is to alert parents to the symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis and other children’s lung diseases, in the hope that early diagnosis and prompt treatment (an essential element in lengthening the life span of children with CF( WILL RESULT. One of the symptoms of Cystic Fibrosis is an extremely salty taste to the CFchild’s perspiration which can be detected by kissing or tasting them on the forehead. Other symptoms include1: ■ (1) Recurrent wheezing; (2) Persistent coughing and excessive mucus; (.3) Pneumonia more than once during childhood; (4) Excessive appetite, but poor weight gain; (5) Clubbing (enlargement) of fingertips. Suspecting parents are directed to consult their local physician. “It is estimated that respiratory problems in children take up to 70 percent of a pediatrician’s time and' is the leading cause of chronic absenteeism from school,” said Mr. Thomas Basil, President of the Greater Michigan CF Chapter.. “Furthermore, Cystic Fibrosis is second only to cancer in the number of young lives it takes. Yet three out of four victims of this disease are not yet diagnosed. Because early diagnosis of CF is essential to longer life for these children, we have embarked on this statewide campaign to bring this vital helath message to the people of Michigan.” Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited ich there is neither cure or control. In CF a thick, sticky mucus clogs the lungs and airways, creating breathing difficulties, high susceptibility to infection and lung damage. The mucus may also interfere with digestion by preventing the flow of enzymes into the small intestine, causing malabsorption of food. Though both parents must be carriers of the CF gene, one in twenty persons in the U.S. is such a carrier. In Michigan David Robert Kalnbach, son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Kalnbach, 8270 Thornapple Lake Rd., Nashville, was named a competing alternate for nomination to the Air Force Academy by Congressman Garry Brown. Kalnbach was one of 30 young people from the Third Congressional District nominated by Brown to fill vacancies at the Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, Colorado; the Military Academy alone there are nearly one half at West Point, N.Y.; and the million such carriers.

The law requires hunters to purchase a $1 access stamp per year and allows farmers to lease voluntarily their land to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for hunting purposes. Pictured (left to right) are: Senator Allen, the Governor, Michigan United Conservation Clubs Executive Director Tom Washington, and DNR official Arlo Boyce. (Photo supplied) January traffic deaths in Michigan numbered 101, one of the lowest tolls for this month in recent years, according to provisional figures of the State Police traffic division. The count was 17, or about 14 percent less than 118 in the same month last year. Average for the month was 138 in the five years, 1972-76. High January was 189 in 1937 while the low of 59 occurred in wartime 1943. The January loss included six deaths that occurred in traffic accidents during the 1977 portion of the New Year’s holiday weekend. The count for January will be increased by any deaths that may yet occur as a result of accidents that happened in the month. Meanwhile, Michigan traffic deaths for all of 1976 are currently totalled at 1,932, which is 121 or about six percent more than 1,811 for 1975.

IRS will compute tax for qualifying taxpayers Taxpayers can elect to have the Internal Revenue Service compute their income tax on either the Sort Form 1040A, or long Form 1040 if they have an adjusted gross income of $20,000 or less. Persons filing Form 1040 must also take the standard deduction to qualify for the computation, the IRS said. Another requirement, according to the IRS, is that the taxpayer’s income must be solely from wages, salary, tips, dividends, interest, pensions and annuities. To take advantage of IRS computing the tax, the taxpayer need only complete certain portions of his or her tax return, attach all W-2 Forms, sign the return, and mail it by April 15 to the address listed in the tax instruction booklet. The tax will be determined from the proper tax table andthe taxpayer will either receive a refund for any overpayment or be notified of the amount of any tdx due. Exact details of which portions of the return must be completed in order to have IRS compute the tax appear in the tax package instructions mailed earlier to each taxpayer.

Court St., Hastings, Michigan P.O. Box A, Nashville, Michigan (Phone, Hastings — 945-9554) Volume 103 Number 40 — February 16,1977 People voice opinions at Council meeting concerning sewer extentions Nearly 100 concerned people squeezed into the Nashville Fire Barn to attend "the village meeting regarding the proposed, sewer extentions Thursday evening. A half dozen vocal .citizens controlled most of the discussion among the standing-room-only crowd, with some remarks being followed by scattered applause. /In atmosphere of uneasiness was often created by the cramped conditions and excited crowd. The government has told the village it must build a new sewage treatment plant that will cost $1,365,579, according to Tim Smith, Nashville Director of Public Service and Safety. The government will supply $1,021,660 in Federal and State grants toward the project. If the plant is not built this year, the government will issue a court order to build it, according to Smith. Late last year, the council proposed to expand the sewer extention system to another 233 homes in the village, 208 that are grant eligible and 25 that are not. The proposed project would cost $1,131,100, with $638,400 paid for by the government and $474,700 to be paid by the village. Councilman Tom Oleson opened the meeting by making a motion to construct only the grant eligible portions of the sewer extentions at a cost of $450 for connection fees, $750 for the new mains for the new sewer users, with a possible cost overide of $300. The motion thereby makes a maximum charge of $1500 to any property owner, and abolishes the original proposal of charging the land owner by $12 per frontage foot of property for the new-mains. Under the new proposal, the entire sewage extention project will cost the village about $278,000 said Smith. He added that the new proposal eliminates 10,000 feet of non-grant eligible sewer lines that had been previously proposed on the original project. If the proposal passes in the primary election Feb. 21, the new sewer mains would be built on North Main Street up to Brumm Road (east side only), Kellogg Street to the second curve, Philadelphia Street, Grant Street, Bridge Street south of Philadelphia, Lentz Street, Reed Street from Lentz to Homer, Gregg Street from Lentz to Edna, Washington Street from Lentz to Edna, and one block of Sherman from Lentz to East Street. Reconstruction of old mains would be done on Sherman Street between Middle and Phillips Streets, Casgorve Street from M­ 66 to about the west limits of the school property, Durkee from M­ 79 to the Standard Bulk Station,. Sherman Street to the drainage ditch from Lake one, Francis Street from Durkee to the Goodner residence, South State Street from Francis to Casgrove, Casgrove from M-66 to S. State, South Main Street from Pearl Street to Casgrove, M-79 from M­ 66 to Sunset Street, and a line east of Main Street from Francis .to Continued on page 11 col 4 Millage increase to maintain current educational programs Voters in the Maple Valley School District will be voting upon 2.7 mills ($2.70 on each $1,000 of state equalized valuation) which would provide additional funds enabling the school district to continue the present educational program.

Next week, Nashville residents will vote on whether or not the village sanitary sewer system should be extended. The new system is scheduled for construction this year. Superintendent of Public Works, Tim Smith, explained that there are two sides to the extension project. On one hand, the construction of the sanitary sewer extensions will increase the cost of the initial project. On the other hand, the addition of more customers would lower the “unit” cost of the construction, operation and-mainenance of the treatment system.

Treatment Plant must be put in now with the 80% grant monies or we'll be court ordered to. do it later without the grant monies. FACT: if the new sewer extentions are done, the cost of the present users of that new treatment plant could be greatly reduced by adding one-third more users. FACT: If those home owners that would not be hooked up to the new plant were to bring about a referendum, they could refuse to pay the suggested village-wide 2 mills, thus in fact, increasing the cost topresent users. PRESENT USERS VOTE YES To Proposed New Sewer Extension Users: FACT: The Village Council has promised us to do the grant eligible extentions only, thus greatly reducing the cost to us as follows: The 59 homes' presently paying sewer bills < would be charged $450 for Lateral hookups only, and the other 149 homes would pay $450 Lateral Hookups plus $750 for New Main Lines, and in case of cost overide and only in case of cost overide, a maximum of an additional $300. FACT: If we do not put the mains in now, we risk the chance of some of our present Septic Systems being condemned by the Public Health Department. FACT: Six or Seven Years Ago, we passed up a chance to do these extentions and they are now costing five times more money. Our next chance could cost five times as much again. FACT: If we don’t do them now, we will lose the 80% Federal Grant monies for the project. FACT: WE SUPPORT A YES VOTE! NASHVILLE CONCERNED CITIZENS COMMITTEE �Maple Valley News.Nashville.

To obtain a tab for trucks, trailers and commercial vehicles at Department of State or Auto Club offices, vehicle owners must bring in either the prepared renewal form mailed by the Department of State, the 1976 registration or the certificate of vehicle title plus proof of public liability and property damage insurance. “Persons who use their vehicle title for proof must know their license plate number,” Ratke explained. While motorists have until March 1 to order tabs by mail for passenger cars and motorcycles, the mail order deadline for commercial vehicles and trailers was Feb. 1. Total license plate tab sales are down approximately 677,000 from last year at this time with the cold weather and unemployment primarily blamed for the lagging sales.

Railroad St., Hastings PH. 945-9926 PURINA CHOWS I push the school to get a job training center so they can get this child out on a job. Let’s face it he is an adult, as the laws they themselves voted into being states, “A child is an adult at the age of eighteen”. Now we as parents can say we have given our children everything money can buy. Now let us look at the school system. You may say their answer has been “Bigger and newer programs”. It goes something like this: Educators started out with offering an education to all. Educators have done a good job, but somewhere along the way bigger and newer programs came into their thinking as being the answer to the problems and responsibilities they faced. One being seperate for each grade. So they encouraged school districts to consolidate. So several schools were put together, taking the cild farttier from his home by bussing. This raised the taxes and caused Dads to take on an extra job Or taking Mom from the home to bring in extra money. THen the teachers began to fed they needed more money and better working' conditions, so they formed the union. Now they could tell the school system just what and how much they would do. As with all unions, they never ask for more woik and less pay, but the other way around. So more taxes and more working Moms. About this time the schools began to feel the restlessness of the students, caused by working Moms. They felt giving the student more to pick from may help, so new programs were added. This required more specialized teachers, causing more taxes and more working Moms. Now things were getting bad. Students were becoming more and more restless (basic cause, the home). Schools pushed by state and federal laws, (backed by some parents and taxpayers) fest this new problem was theirs. So bigger and newer programs were put into the school system, clinics, sex education, job training, job placement, etc., etc. For sure, these new programs would take care of the problems. So, more taxes - more working Moms., With lhe added freedom these new programs gave the students, we now have more and more students who cannot read, write or do basic arithmetic. OUr college entrance exams given to high school students have shown a continual drop in these skills each year for the past fourteen years. With jobs for our teenagers, we have provided them with the needs to spend as they wish and we are now seeing more and more teenagers on drugs - hard drugs. With our sex education and clinics, we now have more and more teenagers having premarital sex, babies, and venerial disease's. With our job placement program, we are aksing our government to make new jobs for those who do not have them as all available jobs are taken by the taxpayers who are trying to pay the heavy taxes for all these programs. Now the school system can say we have given the best and biggest programs. This is the way we as taxpayers see it: There is a pay day coming, and the interest and principle we must pay. Parents have to stop blaming the school system, the school system must stop blaming the partent, and they both have to stop blaiming the state and federal government. It was our giving and taking that made the government what it is today. Let’s grow up - stop blaming and stop spending. We cannot buy our way out of our responsibilities. Our students need to hear the word NO, our parents need to hear the word NO, and the state and federal government needs to hear the word NO, and our school systems need to hear the words NO. We, the taxpayers, are the only ones who can teach this word NO to them.’ When we as parents, educators, and taxpayers stop siding against one another and get honest with ourselves and take hold of our responsibilities, things will get better. It will cost something. Are we adults enough to be the generation to say we will pay the interst and principle and set our children free from heavy taxation for years to come. Let us not do as our parents and their parents and pass the buck or be taken in by the selling tactics that we can buy our way out of the mess we are in. Let us show our children we can say NO - Thank you. If we do not, pay day is just around the corner for all of us. We may have to vote NO on every new program which cost more tax dollars. We may have to say NO other subjects offered until basics are learned. We may have to say NO free education after a child leaves school of his own free will or is expelled. We may have to say NO to Mothers who want to work so we can say yes toall family men, able bodied or not. We may have to say NO to our children’s wishes. Let us set our house in order. As long as the taxpayers are paying the bill, we should be the ones writing and passing bills which will later become laws. We can only do this by our votes, our involvement in government, schools, and most of all by not being afraid to say NO, a thousand times NO.

The government has offered to pay 80 percent of the project this year. "Where’s the other 20 percent coming from?” shouted someone from the crowd. "Iknow it’s not coming from my pocket.” “There are advantages to building the new mains now,” someone else said at the meeting. “The government has said we must build a new treatment pland, and the one-third more customers that would be added to the system would help pay for the new plant We have problems with sewage pollutions in the spring with an overflow of some of the septic tanks.

The government can’t make us do this ifwe don’t want it They can send us all to jail as far as I’m concerned. We’re still paying for the old plant what happens when they (the government) say we need another $2 million project in a few more years?” “They (the government) said they would issue a court order to build a new plant within a year,” said Smith. “The government can put the cost of this project right on our taxes.” “There is a hidden cost in the sewer lines," someone claimed. “The costs stated here don’t include the cost of the mains that have to be built on our property to the homes. The sewer lines can cost as much as $2500 to a property owner." “The people voted for us to be their public servants,” said Councilman Jerry Kent. “For the little money we are paid, we try to research all aspects of these projects in the best interest of the people. You dictate our decisions. Whatever you want us to do about the extentions, we’ll do for you.” “Come out and vote Feb. 21,” said president George Frith. “Whatever you say, we’ll do.” For Want Ads — Phone 945-9554 Hastings TO VISIT OUR Minutes of Regular Meeting Held January 27,1977 Village of Nashville Susan M.

Court St., Hastings, Michigan P.O. Box A, Nashville, Michigan (Phone, Hastings — 945-9554) Volume 103 Number 41 — February 23,1977 FFA members honored during National FFA Week “Learning to do, doing to work, earning to live, living to serve”; the Future Farmers of America motto. The young people of the FFA are always learning new and better ways of producing food for our country. Many of them were raised on farms, and are getting practical experience working on their father’s land that has been passed down for generations. Others help out on neighbors farms. Many of these young people will be farming to support families, as their fathers and grandfathers have. Most of all, they will be serving the entire nation as they will be making important contributions in supplying the food neccessities of the Amerqian people. The future of American agriculture is in their hands. FFA Week, February 19-26, is being celebrated nation-wide by its 500,000 members and 161 chapters. Throughout the week, chapters are planning activities to support the theme, “Agriculture’s NEW generation”. The Maple Valley chapter will distribute promotional literature and has set up a display in recognition of its accomplishments during the past year. The awards on display include the Bronze State Award for building our American communities, The Superior Chapter Award for overall high standards for all its activities, The High Farm Journal Salesman Award, and three Leadership Awards. The chapter plans to attend the Michigan State University rodeo this Saturday. National FFA Week always includes Washington’s Birthday in observance of his leadership in promoting scientific farming practices. Washington is considered the patron saint of the FFA and has come to symbolize the FFA treasurer. The FFA was organized in 1928, to promote . leadership, cooperation, and citizenship among high school vocational agriculture students. The FFA Foundation provides chapter, state, and national recognition for supervised programs of agriculture, production, marketing, processing and service. The Nashville chapter was formed in 1932, and the Vermontville chapter in 1936. The present Maple Valley chapter was organized in 1964. This year’s officers at Maple Valley are Dave Kalnbach, president; Steve Cowell, vice­ president; Gaylord Strodtbeck, secretary; Sute Thompson, treasurer; Richard Angus, reporter; and LeRoy Bursley, sentinal. So far this year, the members have planted com on the school lab land, played basketball with other area FFA chapters, and have been selling Vitality seeds. They will be participating in leadership contests again, and will probably plant more trees at the school forest later this year. The 49-year traditions of the FFA have held strong and produced a mighty work force for food and fiber to meet the needs of our nation and world. Successful agriculture leaders of today are the testimony. Agriculture’s new generation is in the making. The FFA members of today. Sewer extensions narrowly defeated; School millage loses by wide margin The proposal to build the sewer extensions in Nashville was defeated by a narrow margin in the Nashville primary election Monday, Feb. 21. The final vote was1" 149 yes, and 152 no. There were three spoiled ballots. The proposal for the additional millage for the Maple Valley School district was also defeated with 351 yes, and 593 no. Two ballots were spoiled. For the three ttwo-year vacancies on the Nashville Village Council, Thomas Oleson received 162 votes, John Mason 151, Forrest Babcock 141, Ruth Hughes 131, Arthur Drake 75 and Ronald Tutt 63. All candidates were Republicans, so incumbants Oleson, Mason and Babcock will be on the ballot in the general election. For the one 1-year term as Nashville trustee, Lois Elliston received 168 votes, enabling her to represent the Republicans on the general election ballot. The other Republicans receiving votes for the office were Fred Corkins, 46 votes, Richard Dean 25, Sidney Green 2, and Lonny Kienutski 1.

Four members who built the display are (left to right) Gary Friddle, junior secretary; (Maple Valley News photo) Bruce Carpenter, Lois Golyar, and Doug Kujtz. Vermontville boy scout troop 648 PBB is a moderately toxic substance accidentally introduced into livestock feed and thereby the human food chain in spring of 1973. From then until the following summer, significant levels of the material were ingested by humans. Most heavily exposed were farm families who regularly consumed their own meat and milk during the time the contaminated feed was being used. It appears likely some of these families could have consumed sufficient amounts-for their health to be temporarily adversely affected though they would be expected to have long since returned to normal. It is unlikely that families buying a variety of foods in the marketplace suffered any of these temporary ill effects. While there is no direct evidence of mutagenic or other adverse long range effects caused by the temporary exposure, the passage of a considerable number . of years and the completion of extensive research will be necessary before we can be sure. If there should prove to be long range effects, they will be due almost entirely to the relatively high levels of exposure previous to discovery of the extent of the PBB accident and to implementation of quarantine and slaughter provisions. NO action taken in 1977 or even 1975 would have or could have had a significant effect on overall exposure. In total, PBB was a 1973-74 serious accident resulting in millions of dollars of losses to consumers, taxpayers and farmers. It may prove to have caused human health problems. If they turn out to be serious and blame needs to be placed, it should fall clearly on the Governor, the Legislature, and awards, and years pins were year pin. Mile Trumble - 5 year given out.

Blame cannot and should not be escaped by expensive but ineffective action long after the fact We are now considering action which would cause the slaughter and burial of additional thousands of cattle. No doubt this event would be well covered by the media with the attendant gory TV, newspaper and magazine shots of dying cattle, mass graves and stoic farmers with moisture in their eyes as a prized and even loved animal is taken from the farm. The program would reassure consumers that everything possible is being done to protect them. Perhaps it will help) politicians to escape blame for the earlier tragedy. It may also relieve some genuine financial suffering on the part of certain farmers who would like to be indemnified for currently non­ productive cows. But none of these is sufficient reason for the outlay of the millions and the slaughter of thousands of innocent, productive cattle. Only one thing could justify such action. Evidence that the action might likely have some significant health advantage to the consuming public. Does such evidence exist? Not that we have seen so far. But we will take another hard look at previously existing sketcy evidence and the new research that is now accumulating in more substantial amounts. And I’ll keep you fully informed.

GRAND RAPIDS �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday February 23,1977 - Page 4 Elementary reading and assessment reports presented to Maple Valley School Board February 14 At the regular meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education held Monday, February 14, the board qjpmbers heard reports related to the elementary reading program and the state assessment testing program. Betty Fry, reading consultant, presented a general report covering the progress within the reading program, stating that the general student progress and advancement had been favorable, but there is still room for improvement. She stated that the teachers were better able to meet more of the needs and interests of the students through a more varied reading program made possible through the availability of more reading materials. She referred to the basic objectives which have been written by reading level, not necessarily by grade level. Performance objectives are a necessary part of a systematic approach to instruction. She stated that it was real unfortunate that the school district has lost the $47,653 in compensatory education funds from the state which were mainly used to purchase reading materials and pay personnel salaries. She stated that improvement had been shown in the area of reading comprehension. Mildred Peabody, elementary counsellor, presented the results of the state assessment tests which were administered to all fourth and seventh grade students in September. The general report showed that the fourth grade students scored at a higher level than the seventh grade students. Test results presented the board members showed that the student scores were consistently higher than the state averages in both reading and mathematics. In mathematics, 89.5 percent-of the students attained 75-100 percent of the questions compared with 80 percent at the state average level In reading the scores showed 70.6 percent of Nashville VFW 8260 & Auxiliary DANCE Saturday, February 26 Music by... "Country Rebels" • Members & Guests • Food in the Kitchen 9:30 P.M. to 1:30 A.M. the students achieved at the 75­ 100 percent level and the state score was 56.4 percent General growth during the past four years has been real favorable. At the seventh grade level, the scores showed 57.9 percent of the students in mathematics at the 75-100 percent attainment level compared with the state of 53.8 percent. Reading results showed that 57.9 percent of the students achieved 75-100 percent of the objectives compared with 56.4 percent at the state level. The board members voted to accept the low bid from Ken Reid Plumbing in the amount of $329.00 for the installation of the restroom area for teaching and non-teaching employees at the Fuller St. School. Elam Rockwell, Secretary­ Board of Education, will be the school district representative to the hearing on the proposed budget for the Eaton Intermediate School District for the 1977-78 school year. The hearing will be held at 7:30 p.m., Monday, February 28, at the office of the Eaton Intertnediate School District. The board members approved the general snowmobile route East of the Fuller Street Elementary School providing such action is within general school liability coverage and approved by the insurance carrier. The area for the route is to be between the road and the fence.

In recognition of this service, observance of “Michigan EyeBank Week” has been set for March 6-12. A proclamation of Governor William G.

The eye-bank is a .joint project of the Lions Clubs of Michigan and the medical centers of the University of Michigan and Wayne State University, with the assistance of other organizations and individuals. “But the compassionate people who request that their eyes be used, after death, to help restore sight to others are the ones who merit special recognition,” Lawrence D. Wyman of Clare, president of the Michigan-EyeBank, said. “Without those generous acts, the eye-bank could not exist’* > “Continuing progress in the field of ophthalmology is making it possible to restore sight to many more people,” Wyman added. “It is our goal to obtain pledges of eyes and supporting funds to help everyone who can be helped to see again.” More information may be obtained from your local Lions Club or from the eye-bank divisions at the participating medical centers of the University of Michigan and Wayne State University. Continued from Frontcontributed beyond their normal activities to the promotion of Michigan tourism.

Label your returns to speed up refunds Taxpayers can receive their refundsfaster by uping the preaddressed peel-off label on their returns, the Internal Revenue Service said. The label, which appears on the cover of the tax package mailed to taxpayers, lists name, address, and social security number. The IRS emphasized that if any information on the label is incorrect, the taxpayer should make corrections right on the label. Married taxpayers filing a joint return should check to see that two social security numbers appear on the label. If only one social security number is shown, the other spouse’s number should be entered on the appropriate line, according to the IRS. Taxpayers can also insure a faster refund by mailing their return in the coded envelope also included with the tax package, the IRS said.

Hastings — 945 9554) Volume 4X3 No. 42 — March 2, 1977 Nashville village council leaves the sewer decisions in the hands of the people The Nashville Village Council, at the village meeting Thursday night, voted not to build the sewage treatment plant because of the financial burden it would put on the present sewer users. The proposal to build the sewer extensions was narrowly defeated in the Feb. 21 primary election. “It is my opinion that without the sewer extensions, it would be too great a hardship on the present sewer users to finance the construction of a new sewer treatment plant,” motioned councilman Ray Hinckley. “Therefore, I make the motion that the village does not construct a new sewer plant.” The motion carried. “I say, let’s put the decision back in the peoples' hands,” said Hinckley. “There’s a silent majority out there somewhere who can get a petition out and can put (the plant or plant and extensions) back on the ballot if they want it.” “There’s one problem I see with this motion,” said Director of Public Works and Safety Tim Smith. “If someone doesn’t petition to get the proposal back on the ballot, the DNR would first put pressure on the council (to build the treatment plant), then issue a court order to build it, then seize the operation, run it, and charge the people right on their property taxes.” The Department of Natural Resources has told the village that the present sewage treatment plant does not meet government standards. “I appreciate the council’s feeling, but it (the council) must be prepared to feel the pressure,” said Smith. “Do we want to take this gamble?” questioned councilman Jerry Kent. “Let's let the people know what could happen (if the new plant is not build) and' let them voice their opinions, so they can't blame us for any consequences in the future." “The consequences of not building the treatment facility and to a lesser degree, the grat eligible extensions, is that we are limiting the growth of Nashville,” said Smith. “There are presently two companies interested in building apartment complexes within the village limits. But we can't allow them to construct, because the state won’t allow them to hookup on the present sewage system." One of the proposed sites is on the existing sewer line and the other is not ‘‘Not having the new facility would also have an effect on-any industry that would want to build here because they would want the sewage and water service,” said Smith. "Small industry in Nashville would increase and broaden the tax base and tend to reduce the load on the residential property owners “The council's proposal means the treatment facility won’t be built unless one of four things happens Either a petition is brought forth by the citizens of Nashville requesting a referendum vote on the facility, or brought to the city fathers stating that the facility be built (or the facility including the sewer extensions) The other option is to wait until the state takes court action against us to update the facility. What they’re doing < the council) is putting the burden of action and decision on the people. “Under the advice from the engineering firm, the latest for a referendum vote that would enable us to receive grants for the extensions would be the middle of April.” Sap flows in 'the valley'; Shirley O'Dell chosen queen It’s that time of year again. When the weather sustains a daytime temperature above freezing, (or near 40 degrees), and drops below freezing at night, it means that it’s time to tap the trees for maple sap. Last week, most of the syrup producers in Maple Valley made those first taps. A sign that spring is near. The weather is right, the sap’s Buckets decorate the line of maples on Main St. in Vermontville, a sure sign of the times. running free, and the queen has been picked. These are all signs that the biggest season of the year in Maple Valley is into full swing, leading into the grand finale, the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival, the last weekend in April. Shirley O’Dell, a 16-year-old junior at Maple Valley High School was chosen as the 1977 Maple Syrup Queen Monday night in the Griswold Room of the Vermontville Congregational Church.

Each den decorated tables for this event. Everything looked so nice and we had a beautiful turn out, and lots of good food to eat.

Another seasonal problem: Predacious domestic dogs LANSING—Man’s best friend can be deer’s worst enemy, particularly at this stage of winter. State conservation officers from Escanaba to Lansing have reported complaints of dogs wearing down and killing deer in recent weeks. Department of Natural Resources officials say the problem is just beginning to get serious. “Ninety-nine percent of the problem comes from domestic dogs whose owners allow them to run free,” says Robert S. Huff, District Wildlife Biologist in Cadillac. “Most people don’t think of their house pet as predacious animal that goes on hunting sprees at night. night.” “I’ve seen little beagles and terriers travel in a pack and most people have no conception that their dog is running deer.” His comments are echoed by Joseph E. Vogt of the DNR’s Wildlife Division in Lansing. “We’re hoping residents- of rural areas will keep their dogs confined during these months,” Vogt says. “Family pets of a gentle nature often become vicious torturers of the deer, especially when they run in a pack. State law authorizes all law enforcement officers to destroy dogs confined during these months,” State law authorizes all law enforcement officers to destroy dogs chasing deer. Last year, conservation officers responded to 1,059 complaints and removed 216 attacking dogs. The number of unreported incidents may be even greater—unofficial estimates place the annual killing of deer by dogs at 5,000. Bob Timmer, DNR Conservation Executive, says real problems develop when snow forms an icy crust as the days get warmer and the nights are cold. Most dogs can easily run on the crust but the deer break through, “Dogs can run a deer down in nothing flat,” he says, adding the deer become easy prey when they start to yard, that is, concentrate in a relatively small area. Problems are compounded when the food supply diminishes and the deer’s energy is drained. Huff says that problems in Cadillac only began during the past two weeks. Prior to that time, snow was loose, making it hard for dogs to outrun the deer. Girl scout receives highest award, Cont. from page 4 area Chairman over the six towns of our area.

PBB situation discussed by state Senator Richard Allen— How toxic is PBB? Last week I described it as “moderately” toxic and received criticism from some who said in effect “poison is poison.” My response to that is to say that “everything is poison” is more accurate. At some level of intake almost every substance known to man, including water, will have some deleterious health effects. In defense of the use of the term, “moderate” in relationship to PBB let me relate to you, information about the toxicity of some other common agricultural chemicals. The LD50 is commonly used scientific measurement of toxicity. It is the level that will kill 50 percent of laboratory animals. It is commonly measured in milligrams per kilogram of body weight so the lower the number the higher the toxicity. Substance LD50 PBB 21,500 Methoxycholor 5,000 Malathion 1,156 Lindane 1,000 Heptachlor 1,000 Dieldron 40 All these are chemicals for which the FDA has set tolerance levels for food. T-hey are regularly tested for and found in low levels in human food. So long as they remain under the official level the food is accepted as safe. On those rare occasions when one of these or the thousands of other substances in the federal register show up above tolerance level, immediate action is taken to stop the sale of the food and trace the source. With the exception of PBB, all those listed here are agricultural chemicals and pesticides that are or have been in very common usd. The use of Dieldron which, you can see, is approximately 530 times as toxic as PBB has been prohibited in recent years except for subterranean termite control. All the rest remain in common, though controlled, use, although this is currently being questioned for Lindane and Heptachlor, both about 21 times as toxic as PBB. So the PBB “Crisis” is a hoax, huh? A fabrication of the press and a few attorneys who hope to make a bundle? I didn’t say that. PBB In Michigan was in many ways different from the circumstances of other common toxic substances. First of all, it was accidentally introduced at high levels in animals that were directly producing meat and milk for human consumption. For some period of time in 1973 and 1974 it appeared in food in levels well above the .3 parts per million that would later be set to give a 100-fold margin of safety. PBB was also different in that it had never been intended for use in the food providing process and therefore its toxicity had not been thoroqghly studied. Thus, some questions still remain to be answered before we can be 100 percent sure of that “moderate” label. Toxicity studies are commonly done on Laboratory animals such as rats. It is always possible humans are different. Primate (monkey) studies are underway. Also, short-run toxicity may not be the same as long-term effects such as genetic mutation. So, it is possible we may have to change our minds and our tolerance levels. But for now, PBB is a moderately toxic chemical, involved in the largest accidental contamination of food in our history. So; thank God for the “Moderate.” Michigan CROP reports unique uses of 1976 resources CROP Community Hunger Appeal resources collected in Michigan in 1976 totaled $241,264. Michigan CROP Director, David C. Bower, reported that $201,568 was received for hunger and development projects overseas and for Michigan hunger agencies. An additional $39,696 of new clothing and cash to purchase new blankets was received for distribution by Church World Service in 40 countries. In 1976, CROP provided 530,060 pounds of Michigan grown split white beans at a value of $49,431, in addition to resources ranging in size from a well-drilling rig to packets of vegetable seed, and from windmills to winged bean plants. CROP resources are now used for appropriate technology, food commodities (as payment for work development programs), seeds and advice to help people grow their own food, and technical consultants who help find better ways of alleviating world hunger and promoting human development. Growing in importance and emphasis in 1976 was the CROP educational awareness program, as it alerted more and more Americans to the great need for social, economic, and political change to get at the root causes of hunger and injustice in the USA and around the world. Local community hunger events organized by volunteers all across Michigan resulted in the increased income. Forty-two communities had Walkathons (“We Walk Because They Walk”) or Fasting-Awareness Experiences (24)36 hours) which resulted in $78,235 and many changed participants! A rural Auction netted $10,500 of self-help income. Milk producers in Michigan contributed $6,602 to buy powdered milk, while FFA Chapters convassed their communities for $8,969 to purchase split beans to be used in Brazil. Additional major fund resources are: Church Women United, Community Thanksgiving Services, Vacation Church Schools, Alternate Dinners, Coin Folders, Individual Donors, Service Clubs, and Farm Bureau Women.

JEFF-FASSETT BRYAN FASSETT Strike one up for the Band by Andrew Lukasewycz Maple Valley’s Jr. High band came back from Leslie Saturday bringing a score of straight ones in concert performance and a second rating in sightreading performance. The band took three composititions to festival entitled “Bartok for Children”, “On The Street," and “Japanese Fantasy.” Other bands attending the district festival were Williamston, Howell, Olivet and Stockbridge. Director Steven Hale said that the most important thing that counts in competition is community support. Mr. Hale was proud to say that Maple Valley had around 30 excited spectators show up at the festival.He also went on to explain that it is harder for a community band to go to another school. “The festival was a success, the snow days effected all the schools including ours, you could tell by the performances,” said Hale. I think that was the best performance put on by the the band, they just seem to come alive under pressure.” The high school band will be attending its festival March 19 in Olivet. They will perform three pieces, “Joi,” “Coat of Arms,” and “Chorale and Capriccio.” Mr. Hale feels that the high school band is ready. ‘‘With two weeks before festival,” stated Mr. Hale, “we will be able to work on our sight reading and the little odds and ends that need work.” The high school band has won two blue medals for their marching festivals that they attended this year. One in a special invitation at Cedar Springs red flannel days, and the other for the district marching festival.

Individuals who wish to determine the effect of any law upon their private legal affairs should consult a private attorney.) It is important that those people who are physically limited be able to participate in society to the fullest extent possible. The design and construction of buildings used by the public can be especially difficult and frustrating barrier for a person who is physically limited. In order that all our citizens might have free and easy access to such buildings, Michigan has a law called the Barrier Free Design Act. This law provides that all new construction of facilities used by the public be barrier free. The law defines barrier free design as “those architectural designs which eliminate the type of barriers and hindrances that deter physically limited persons from having access to and free mobility in and around a building, structure or improved area.” This means the design must comply with the State Construction Code, which eliminates 'or or alleviates architectural barrieis. Among the Code requirements are those for exterior and interior accessibility to buildings, width and gradient specifications for ramps, designated parking lot spaces for physically limited people, and width and depth specifications for elevators and restroom facilities. The Act does not apply to privately owned, one or two family dwellings, but it does apply to all public facilities, and facilities used by the public. These are defined as buildings, structures, or improved areas used for education, employment, housing, transportation, recreation, or for the purchase, rental, or acquisition of goods or services. The Barrier Free Design Act also applies to existing buildings which undergo a change in current use, the number of occupants, or alterations. If that change involves less than 50 percent of the floor space used by the people or employees, then only the area affected, and the areas necessary to provide routes of travel to and from the affected areas, must comply with the design requirements. If more than 50 percent of the floor area is involved, then the entire building must'comply. The Act also created the Barrier Free Design Board. Responsibility for enforcing the Act is shared by the Board and state departments and local governmental units. The Board also has the power to grant exceptions for buildings not in compliance with the Act. Anyone who has a question about the Act, including questions about compliance and the granting of exceptions, should write the Barrier Free Design Board at this address: Barrier Free Design Board Department of Labor 7150 Harris Drive Lansing, Michigan 48909 One final thing. Ifyou operate a barrier free public facility, why not mark it with the international symbol of accessibility, the familiar sticker with the white wheelchair on a blue background.

Syrup queen representing the people, festival, and the community — The people of Vermontville represent a friendly, casual, down-to-earth lifestyle. They exemplify a closeness of community, family and friends. The people enjoy a simple life and live by the old adage, “the best things in life are free”. This spirit and quality of living is portrayed in 1977 Vermontville Maple Syrup Queen Shirley O’Dell. The people, community, and festival could not be more ideally represented. “I wasn’t expecting it (being named queen) at all,” says Shirley. “I just wanted to be on the court. Julie Shook is my best friend, and I wanted her to win it. “The whole court is looking forward to all the activities, we’ve been talking about it all week in school. We all grew up together and are good friends.” Shirley, a 16-year-old junior at Maple Valley High School, is involved in many extracurricular activities at school. She was a freshman, junior varsity and varsity football cheerleader, a member of the freshman track team, and varsity football manager as a freshman. She is currently a member of the cast of the junior play, “We Shook the Family Tree”, a comedy that will be presented at the high school March 24-25. She is also a cast member of “Think Softly”, one of the Play Production class presentations. Shirley is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold O’Dell Jr. of Kinsel Highway, Vermontville. She was born in California, near Los Angeles. Her family moved to Michigan in 1968, and settled in Vermontville in 1971. She has one brother and three step-sisters. Like most girls in high school, she has an interest in dating. Her steady boyfriend is Jon Dean of Nashville. At the moment, Shirley is an “Avon Lady” so she can earn a little extra pocket money. This summer, she plans to look for a job as a store clerk or receptionist Shirley’s family uses a C.B. raonpaceo radio in place of a telephone eepone for or outside communications. Her handle (nickname) is ‘Squirrely Shirley’, a. title she owes to her father. Shirley likes to travel. “I like to see lots of different places and things. Last year we went to Cedar Point, I’d like to go to Mackinac Island this year.” Last summer, the family returned to California to visit relatives. “I want to learn about the entire syrup-making process, says Shirley. “I think the queen should know these things.” Her neighbor, Mr. Aldrich, plans to show her and Brenda Harris, queen’s alternate, the experience first hand in his sugar bush! The girls plan to learn how to tap the trees, gather the sap, and boil the sap into syrup. Aldrich will make his first taps within a few days. Shirley will soon be appearing on several local television talk shows promoting the festival. “I want to take Brenda on these shows, so she’ll have these experiences too.” Shirley received a scrapbook from 1976 Queen Kim Zemke. “It’s a beautiful gift,” says Shirley. “I’m sure it’ll hold many fond memories.” After graduation, Shirley plans to find a job and get out on her own. “I just want to get a small job to support myself until I’m ready to settle down and get married. I like the simple life.” "The whole court is looking forward to all the activities, we've been talking about it all week in school" This year’s Queen, Shirley O’Dell (left), and last year’s Qeen, Kim Zemke, when they were together on the Varsity Football cheering squad this past autumn. 1977 Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Queen,,, Shirley O’Dell, and her nephew,, Michael, look over her new scrapbook that she received as a gift from last year’s Queen, Kim Zemke. Shirley plans to keep all the fond memories of her reion in the book, to be remembered for years to come.

Taxpayers who keep records of actual costs may claim operating expenses and fixed expenses, such as depreciation and insurance for business use of their automobile. For deductible nonbusiness uses, only operating expenses may be claimed. Instead of claiming actual expenses, taxpayers may use an optional mileage allowance method. Taxpayers can deduct 15 cents per mile for the first 15,000 and 10 cents per mile for each additional mile when their automobile is used for business purposes. Individuals who use their automobile for charitable, medical, or moving expenses are allowed 7 cents per mile under tax guidelines. In all instances. parking and toll fees may be claimed in addition to the mileage rate. These deductions can be made only if the taxpayer was not reimbursed for the expenses by his or her employer. If the employer’s reimbursement exceeds the employee’s actual expenses, the amount of the excess must be shown as gross income, the IRS said. For more details concerning business expenses, the free IRS Publication1 463, “Travel, Entertainment and Gift Expenses,” is available from local IRS offices. Publications outlining moving, charitable and medical deductions are also available free from the IRS. These publications can be ordered by using the handy order blank included in the tax package instructions.

Hall for their annual Blue and Gold Banquet The theme of this banquet was American Indians. The table decorations, made by the Cubs, and part of the program followed this theme. The evening began with a ham and potluck dinner served to the 150 people there. The Campfire girls of Mrs. Judy Eaton’s Discovery group served the dinner, allowing the den leaders to join their dens instead of waiting on them. After dinner Nyle Wells performed numerous feats of illusion to the delight and amazement of all especially the children. Cubmaster Kenneth Meade then began the regular meeting by introducing the guests including Mr. and Mrs. Foss White and Mr. and Mrs. Lee Trip, representatives of the district scouting program, and Mr. Ernest Jacoby from the Maple Valley schools. The Webelos presented a short skit explaining our blue and gold colors and why they mean so much to the cubs as they progress in scouting. The badges and awards were presented at an elaborate campfire ceremony with Cubmaster Meade dressed as the Indian Chief Akela and awards chairman, James Moccardine assisting in the presentation. Matthew Peake, a scout for only three weeks, received his Bobcat badge the first rank in Cub Scouts. The Cub Scout plan of advancement follows Akela’s life story. As Akela learned about his world the cubs learn about their expanding world and earn badges doing so. The badges are named for the animals that taught Akela, the Bobcat, Wolf and Bear. Cubs who go beyond the requirements for a badge earn gold and silver arrows to show they have made the extra effort of learning more about the skills required for each badge. The boys earning a Wolf badge this month were: Bobby Carl, Mike Hay and Mike Long. Mike Hay, Mike Long? Ed Shumaker, Bobby Carl, David Stump, Parmer Thompson, Dennis Thompson, Paul Travis, Donald Pillars and Kenny Meade received gold arrows; Kenny Meade also received a silver arrow. Ray Ashcraft completed the requirements for his showmanship award. Each of the Cubs then presented his mother with a carnation for all the help and encouragement she has given him through the year. The new mothers were surprised and all the mothers were delighted. Diane Williams, on behalf of the Cub Scouts presented each of the den leaders with a gift for doing such an outstanding job of keeping the boys interested and active. We had one other special award to present to Mr. Harold Christiansen who supervises the recycling program which provides most of the operating funds for the Scouting program. We gave Mr. Christiansen a new hammer for smashing glass, a giant ball of bindertwine for bundling newspapers and more seriously an impressive Fig Tree to enjoy at home where he and Mrs. Christiansen have an extensive collection of plants. The evening concluded with the bridge ceremony wherein the boys who have reached the age of 11 go into Boy Scouts. Ray Ashcraft, Steve Cardenas and Bobby Aber were welcomed into Boy Scouts by Scoutmaster Arnold Eaton and Scouts Leonard Eaton and Mike Hull. Cubmaster Ken Meade thanked everyone for coming and reminded the boys that the pinewood derby race will be held March 26, a Saturday, and to get their cars ready.

Participants in the workshop found the discussion of poetry on Public Service of this newspaper & The Advertising Council Tuesday evening to be almost too deep. When designing Great Books discussion groups, care will need to be taken to choose the appropriate level for participants. The moot question is the key to shared inquiry. A discussion can take place including all children if the discussion is not a right­ wrong environment. In discussion of a moot question, the leader always asks for evidence. With the evidence, the leader asks for agreement or disagreement-not to resolve the question as a group, but to bring each participant to a resolution of the question for himself. Shared inquiry is: -A group exercise in thinking that begins with a doubt or problem and uses searching to find solutions. -Inviting participants to think by asking questions. —An attempt to increase understanding of what participants read and to improve problem solving abilities. Eaton Intermediate sends these 25 people out into Potterville, Maple Valley and Grand Ledge to bring shared inquiry to children. Sets of Great Books have been ordered to get new leaders started. Discussions will begin within the month. Twenty-five teachers, aides, parents and high school students from Maple Valley, Potterville and Grand Ledge schools attended a two day workshop on how to lead discussions of Great Books. Sponsored by the Eaton Intermediate School District, Zack Moeller of the Great Books Foundation, Inc., Chicago, led the group in ten hours of intensive training in interpretive reading and discussion techniques - five hours Monday, February 28, and five hours on Tuesday, March 1. “As a leader, I do not participate,’’ Zack Moeller said. Leading' discussions presupposes that the leader does not interject any judgmental statements or statements, of opinion. What does a leader of a discussion do? He asks a lot of: -Why? -Do you agree? -What in the story leads you to believe that? Moeller never came forth with any statement of “wisdom.” David Nairne, counted onus When David had open heart surgery not long ago, he needed six vital units of blood, type O Neg.

Dear Editor: Just a few moments of your time to recognize one of Vermontville’s newest non-profit organizations, the Vermontville Jaycees. This new group of 35 young hard-working men in our village have dedicated themselves to the growth and well being, as well as the promotion of the Jaycee name to the area. , ■ The Vermontville Jaycees would like to thank all the merchants that helped sponsor its chartership that originated March 20, 1976. Activities that this group engaged in last year consisted of providing manpower for planting trees along Main Street and in the village park, becoming involved in the Bicentennial Picnic as help was needed, and promoting the sale of 480 jars of jelly during the annual Jaycee Jelly Week. Projects foreseen for the coming year include a dunking booth at the Maple Syrup Festival where free prizes will be given away, a neighborhood watch program has been enforced in the community, and a winterization program that works like this: when a povertys triken resident or those on Social Super Taste Sensation ... Cranberry Yogurt Pie Security within the community needs help to improve heat loss in their home, he merely contacts a Jaycee member and through proper channels, the Vermontville Jaycees are granted up to $350 per home to insulate, apply storm windows, etc. at no cost to the home owner for our services. Also, other projects that are underway, a wood-cutting bee, whereas funds from cord wood sales are used to replenish the treasury for educational groups like the Maple Valley Sepcial Education Department, as well as folks who suffer hardships like home fires and other l(.j (a % 1 1 CRANBERRY YOGURT PIE (Make 1-9 inch pie) 2 cups Ocean Spray cranberry cups graham cracker juice cocktail, boiling crumbs cup sugar 2 cups (1 pint) plain yogurt cup butter or margarine 1 can (1 pound) Ocean Spray package (3 ounces) jellied cranberry sauce, cut strawberry gelatin into % inch pieces package (3 ounces) lemon gelatin mentioned. Perhaps the biggest moment was when (after a long wait), we were given a place to meet. The new location is above the Maple Leaf Inn, in the former Stan Trumble office. The meetings are held the first and third Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. We encourage any and all to come as we have fun and refreshments. So, as you can see, through the help of the Jaycees, a community can prosper during good times and bad, small town or large city, both physically and financially. But it takes the support of the entire community to make it happen.

'Tis the day of the Irish' Thursday March 17, St. Patrick's Day The Thursday, March 24 cast of "We shook the family tree" really get into the "feer of their roles, as you can see, in last Thursday nights rehearsal • Maple Valley News Photo The Irish began hitting American shores in the middle 1800's, after the great famine of the Emerald Islands. Like all people who relocated to the new world, they had their problems (although they were blessed with the language of their new neighbors, which was one thing in their favor). With them, the Irish brought a homor and a way of telling tales that is their's alone. They gave us the leprech­ aun, the blarneystone, the shamrock and other things to tickle our fancy. One day a year, most everyone in the country puts on their favorite greens and becomes a Kelly, McQuire, Quinn, or Harrington and feel "just a wee bit o'blarney". �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, March 16,1977-Page 2 College Day to include all about substance abuse Mr. Henry Richard Stob.

CAKE DECORATING — All Occasions — Sandy Priddy Phone 852-9706 ☆☆☆ ••tririr ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ THE REDKEN EXPERIENCE ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ Letter from Senator Richard Allen A primitive pagan sacrifice for modern superstitious reasons: that’s what it will be if we slaughter 25,000 healthy, productive cattle without evidence of significant health benefits. Some regular readers of these columns may wish I would get off the subject of PBB, but I won’t. Not so long as it appears to me that we are headed toward the most serious abuse of the public treasury since I have been in the legislature. The taxpayer’s cost, variously estimated up to 60 million dollars, is only the surface of the iceberg. Consumers will pick up an even bigger piece of the cost as prices go up to cover the lower supply. No doubt many farmers will decide never to go back in the dairy business since building a herd is a long range commitment and no farm in Michigan can be certain that new and better testing equipment won’t in the future detect some minuscule taint of PBB. To me it is much more than an economic issue, it is a moral issue. A moral issue on two counts. First the useless slaughter of healthy productive cattle. I’m not a vegetarian or an anti-hunter. I believe raising animals for human consumption is justified, as is hunting for spirt and food. But the wanton slaughter of healthy animals for no reasonable human purpose is immoral, as is extortion. And to some degree I feel that is what is going on. A small number of people who have law suits filed related to PBB and their lawyers FFA to attend state convention at MSU- Razor’s Edge firmly believes that any woman who cares about herself can be beautiful.

This year’s theme is “FFA - Agriculture’s New Generation.” Dave Kalnbach, son of Mr. & Mrs. Robert Kalnbach of Nashville has been riamed to receive the State FFA Degree, which will be conferred Thursday evening, in the University Auditorium. This degree was earned in the area of agribusiness, for his work on area farms and recently for Wertz and Co. John Deere in Charlotte. The Star State Farmer and Star State Agribusinessman awards, indicative of outstanding achievements in agriculture and leadership will also be announced. Parents and friends are encouraged to attend any part of the convention activities.

State registration indicates that the Historical Commission has judged the site to be of significant historic interest. Now the scene of a flourishing dinner theatre, True Grist stands on the site of the original flouring mill built in 1837 by Milton Barney.

There is no doubt of the opinion that legislative lowering of the tolerance level will aid their chances of millions of dollars in settlements. Since they generally claim damages in 73 and 74 when high exposure was possible, it should not be related. But it is a struggle for human minds and confusion prevails. So I see the lowering of PBB tolerance in 1977 as an economic and moral issue. Itis also a health issue? No, not at [resent levels. Or at least not compared to many other health dangers such as thousands of chemicals at low levels, or bath tub falls and mid air crashes which are much much higher risks. But some modern superstitions prevail: that toxic substances are materially different from falling objects where we readily accept the difference in risks between a thousand pounds falling a thousand feet and one object falling one inch; that we can somehow enjoy the miracles of modern technology and escape all risk; that we can expect Government to solve all problems, the amount of dollars notwithstanding. We may be about to indulge in a primitive program sacrifice for modern superstitious reasons. But not without a fight from Dick Allen.

If law, HB 4190-4195 would allow limited wiretaps, provide mandatory sentences and limit parole and “good time” after conviction. DISASTER DENIAL President Carter has denied a request by Governor Milliken for federal disaster funds to help pay for recovery operations from the January 29 storm. This is the first denial in many years of a Michigan request for aid. PBB BILL - HB 4109 would drop the safe-tolerance level for PBB to the lowest detectable abount, and order over-limit animals destroyed. Federal officials have said this is not necessary; Bovernor Milliken has urged the bill’s passage. REDLINING RETREAT? Two bills just introduced in the House would prohibit the practice of “redlining.” HB 4227 would ban denying home mortgages based on a home’s geographic location and require written reasons for turndowns; HB 4251 would produce money to help homeowners improve old homes. Both are intended to help prevent housing decay in central cities. OPEN MEETINGS - The Open Meetings Act passed last year takes effect on April 1 and applies to all governmental bodies. Nearly all decisions and MEMBER deliberations must be open to the public. PRISON BASE? - Since the federal government wants to close the Upper Peninsula’s Kincheloe Air Force Base, and since Michigan’s prisons face serious overcrowding, it has been proposed that the state-take over the base and convert it into a medium-security prison. This would have the advantage of speed and also cost much less than building a new facility. TEACHER LICENSING - A bill to license all public school teachers in Michigan has been introduced as HB 4242. Although this would establish definite professional standards, it would also probably have the effect of limiting the number of teachers available to schools.

Ernie Nash speaks out on PCP State Representative Ernie Nash (R-Dimondale) feels that State Agriculture Director B. Dale Ball and his department have done an excellent job in effectively identifying the PCP problem, and he wants to officially tell them so. Nash introduced a resolution commending Ball and the department for taking quick action in establishing a thorough testing program which resulted in eight herds being quarantined when they were found to have been contaminated with PCP. PCP (pentachlorophenol) is a wood treatment that contains dioxin, an extremely dangerous poison. “To secure other opinions about PCP, the Department immediately upon finding its presence in eight Michigan dairy herds contacted the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Food and Drug Administration. These agencies will determine what amount of the chemical, if any, would be permitted in food,”-Nash said. “It is within the realm of possibility that Michigan has sounded the national alarm about PCP since millions of pounds of the chemical are produced every year in the United States and is widely used in wood construction,” he adds. “The calm, scientific approach by the Department of Agriculture has served to avert a potential disaster. It represents an effective performance by the department in enforcing our laws on the contamination of food and protecting the public health,” Nash said. Nash said he feels the entire legislature agrees that the Department of Agriculture performed its duties well and will adopt the resolution.

If you don’t have yours, go to a Secretary of State office before the lines get any longer. KING DAY - The House has approved HB 4001, which moves the official observance of- Martin Luther King Day in Michigan from January 15 to the Monday nearest that date. This may lead to another three-day weekend for some workers. PREVENT POISON Governor Milliken has designated this week “Poison Prevention Week.” It is intended to draw attention to the many household chemical products and medicines which are potentially harmful to small children if left in reach. .SCHOOL LOANS - Now moving through the legislature is SB 194, which provides for an emergency school loan fund to assist school districts which are unable to rheet their financial obligations. Such districts would then have to balance their budgets, or face reorganization. . OLD BOTTLES Governor Milliken' has urged the Michigan Liquor Control Commission to start planning for the transition to returnable bottles as required by Proposal A, approved last November, which takes effect December 3, 1978. Returnable beer containers, for example, would have to carry a Michigan symbol and be reusable by more than one manufacturer. FARM ASSESSMENTS - The attorney general has ruled that an assessor must consider farm income as a factor when assessing farmland, in addition to considering the sales price of comparable land. From 1973 to 1975, net cash Michigan farm income declined over 30 percent while farmland valuation increased 24 percent. This decision should help ease the farm tax burden. USED OIL - The Department of Natural Resources reports that some firms are willing to pay for dirty auto crankcase oil, which they purify and resell. This comes as oil is increasing in value, solving the problem of what to do with old oil after you change it at home. COPPED PORN In consequence of Supreme Court decisions allowing local communities to set obscenity standards, HB 4269 has been introduced to prohibit drive-in theatres from showing X-rated movies if those can be viewed from beyond the drive-in boundaries. PRIMARY QUESTION - In file debate over the cost of last year’s Michigan Presidential Primary, several proposals were advanced to change or repeal it. None passed. The first such bill this year is HB 4266, which would do away with the primary altogether.

Michigan fanners took in 1.68 billion dollars for their products in 1976, according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. Farmers’ 1976 cash receipts were up 2 percent from 1975, but 4 percent short of the record high 1974 sales. Cash receipts ran well ahead of 1975 in 8 of the first 9 months of 1976. By the end of September, farmers had taken in 10 percent more than the same period in 1975 and 3 percent more than the record high of 1974. The fourth quarter, however, saw receipts fall off 18 percent, led by a 30 percent decline in crops. Major price setbacks were felt in dry beans, wheat, potatoes, and hogs. Crop returns continued a 4 year trend bringing in more money to Michigan farms than livestock, but not by much. Receipts for livestock and livestock products were a record high 812 million dollars in 1976, up 14 percent fromthe previous year. Crops, on the other hand dropped 8 percent to 870 million dollars, but held on to a slim 52 to 48 edge in percentage of total cash receipts.

Court St., Hastings, Michigan P.O. Box A, Nashville, Michigan (Phone, Hastings — 945-9554) Volume 103 No. 46 - March 30,1977 Nashville sewer system issue still in question The Nashville Village council voted Thursday to postpone any further decisions on the proposed sewer system issue until after meeting with Fred Cowles, sanitary engineer for the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The council plans to meet with him this week in Lansing. However, not to jeopardize the Federal grant monies available for the construction of the sewage system, the council decided to continue taking the appropriate steps in pursuit of these funds. The council received a letter from Cowles on March 18 stating that the village must promptly accept the grant offer and authorize the preparation of plans and specifications for the sewage system construction. If not, the state would take some form of enforcement action, possible forcing the village to build the project without grant assistance. (The above letter can be seen inside this issue of the Maple Valley News). Cowles letter was prompted by the council’s Feb. 24 vote not to build the proposed sewage treatment plant. The council took the action after the proposed sewer extensions were defeated F15e2b-14291 in the primary election Feb. 21. Council members felt the construction of the treatment plant would be too much of a financial burden on present sewer users without the support from the additional customers who would be added with the construction of the extensions. The council said it intended to put the sewer system decisions in the hands of the people of the village. If the people wanted the system, they could make it known to the council. Within a week, a petition was circulated and submitted to the council asking for another vote on the extensions. _ -Village attorney Richard Shaw has since said that he believes the Feb. 21 vote and the circulated petition are not binding on the council. In his opinion, the vote was merely a “public opinion poll”, since exact procedure with Michigan Statute was not followed for the election. He believes the petition to call for a second vote on the issue was only advisory in nature. Besides improving the sewage treatment facility, the DNR has also made it manditory to build new sewer lines on Kellogg, Durkee, and Francis Streets, said Tim Smith, Nashville director of public services and safety. The DNR has reports that raw sewage is discharged in the Thornapple River and raw and partially treated sewage is discharged in Quaker Brook from these areas. Nashville may be the only community that still places waste into the river without benefit of secondary treatment. cont. on page 2 School Board makes program reductions for 1977-78 term Newly elected Nashville council members were sworn-in by village clerk Susie Corkwell Thursday evening prior to the village meeting. Taking the oath left to right are Forrest Babcock, John Mason, and Lois Elliston. Tom Oleson was sworn-in later that evening. (Maple Valley News Photo) The Maple Valley Board of Education took action to make reductions in the school program for the 1977-78 school year at a special meeting Monday, March 21. The board felt this necessary at this time considering the defeat of the millage proposal in February and the uncertainty of the state aid program for the coming year. Another millage vote is planned at the time of the annual school election. Monday, June 13. The general reductions were made in both the regular school program and the extra curricular program. The board voted to eliminate the elementary art program, elementary vocal music program, Jr. High choir, a section or two of kindergarten, and the half-day mathematics consultant. Also to be eliminated are one section of both seventh and eighth grade, three teacher’s aids, the school nurse, chess, school plays, and more. The total amount to be eliminated on the above areas is $97,588. , i । ; Many of the sports porgrams would also be eliminated. They include track, tennis, J.V. baseball, 5-6 grade baseball, freshman basketball, golf, Jr. High wrestling, cross country, girls’ track, girls’ tennis, girls’ J.V. softball, and girls’ 5-6 basketball. The other sports programs would operate on reduced budgets, especially in the purchase of equipment The total amount to be saved in athletic programs would be $16,797.16. Information relative to the cost of the various athletic teams was presented at the regular board meeting in March, and this information is available at the high school office or general administration office. At a special meeting held Tuesday, March 22, the board members took action to extend the contracts of all school administrators for one year excepting the contract for Larry Lenz, which was extended for two years. The community school director receives a one year contract, the principals and administrative assistant are on a two year contract, and the superintendent is on a three year contract.

The village council is caught in the middle because they told Nashville voters they would adhere to their wishes at a public hearing in February. ' “Do we represent the people or do we do what we feel is best for the Village of Nashville?” questioned councilman Tom Oleson. “I personally feel the sewers will be good for Nashville, but we also have a moral obligation to the people since we told them we’d do what they want us to do.” “Under a State order we’d have to foot the whole bill (for the sewer construction),” said village president George Frith. “They’d build it and assess us for the price-of it.” “A court order could put us on top of the list for grant eligibility, but it could very well work the reverse,” said Smith. Howard Wolpe, assistant to Sen. Donald Riegle who was present at the village meeting, said he would look into this matter and return the Senatorial advice to the council.

Milliken has proclaimed the week of May 1-7 as “MICHIGAN SPINAL HEALTH CARE WEEK”. The purpose of this special week is to increase the public awareness of the vital importance played by correct posture and proper spinal health care in the preservation and maintenance or overall good HEALTH. The Michigan Chiropractic Council is joining with Governor Milliken during this special week in asking that parents make a few simple checks of their children’s looking straight up. Now, check the length of the legs at the ankles or heels of the shoes. If they are uneven, it could indicate the existence of spinal misalignments. In the third check, have the child bend forward from the waist, with the arms hanging loosely down, and the legs straight. If the muscles appear to “bunch” on one side of the spine ... scoliosis (curvature of the spine) is a distinct possibility. Children wear out shoes rapidly, as any parent can attest to. The fourth check is to examine the child’s shoes. If one shoe is wearing out faster than the other, spinal posture. A positive indication on any of these tests would indicate that a problem may exist, and that a professional examination of the child’s spine should be made. The first test is to have the child stand straight and then compare* the shoulders. Both should be level If one is higher than the other, then this would be an indication of possible spinal problems. Another check is to have the child lie flat on their back with their body straight and their head NOTICE Public Hearing Vermontville Residents Girl scout news All the troops got together last week for the annual roller skating party to share the fun and celebrate Girl Scout week.

Individuals who wish to determine the effect of any law upon their private legal affairs whould consult a private attorney.) The controversy continues over whether to develop the oil and natural gas reserves in the northern one-third of the Pigeon River Country State Forest This controversy has caused divisions even among the traditional allies in the conservation movement. Despite that, the controversy has generated an idea which has won endorsement from all sides in ths dispute. That idea, enacted into law as the “Kammer Recreation Land MEMBER NflA Association - Founded 1885 Maple Valley News Nashville, Michigan.

Trust Fund of 1976,” will provide money which will be used exclusively for the purchase of land for recreational purposes including camping, hiking, picnicing, swimming, hunting and fishing. That money will come from royalties and other fees the state will collect from oil, mineral, and natural gas production in the Pigeon River Country State Forest and from any leases granted after July 23,1976 on any of the 4*£ million acres of state land. This money will go into a special trust fund established by the 1976 Kammer Act which is called the State Recreational Land Acquisition Trust Fund. This Fund is administered by a five person Board of Trustees, including the Director of the Department of Natural Resources, the Chairman of the Natural Resources Commission, and three citizens to be appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate. The Trustees are authorized to spend up to one-thhjd of the money received by the fund in a fiscal year for purchases of recreational land during the next fiscal year. The Trustees will determine on an annual basis which lands should be acquired with monies from the Trust Fund. Those decisions are subject to approval by the'Legislature. This Trust Fund should provide a continuing source of funds to -acquire public ownership of prime recreational lands for the use of this and future generations. If this program is to be a Vermontville Jaycee 'update’ success, the lands purchased will have to be lands that will be used. For that reason that Board of Trustees should have as much citizen input as possible to guide them in making their decision. I would urge you to write the Trustees expressing your opinion, and also to attend Board of Trustees’ meetings which are open to the public.

(Maple Valley News Photo) On the road with Greta One busload of Senior Citizens left for Florida March 7-17. The second afternoon and flight was spent in Atlanta, Ga. We visited Stone Mt., the largest granite mountain in the world. On one side is a huge carving of Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy, General Lee, and General Stonewall Jackson. Stone Mt. was formed long before the Himalayas of India came into being. Senator Talmadge once said of this carving, “Through stern character, this carving is much more than a monument to the South. It is a reminder to all men that out of change and social crisis can come even a firmer strength and unity. It is a memorial to a critical period in American History, which though tragic, gave birth to a united nation which we have become.” Dogwood was blossoming everywhere. Most everyone rode the sky lift to the top of the mountain. As we rode up, the building at the top was on fire. The firemen rode the lift up, too, with all their fire fighting equipment. If ever in Atlanta don’t miss the Cyclorama - a most impressive memorial of the battle which sealed the fate of the South, July 22, 1864. The painting, three dimesion, is 55 feet high and 400 feet in circumference. It weights 18,000 lbs. It was painted by a group of German and Polish painters.

When you’re at the supermarket, look at the foods that don’t just “happen” to be there. You see, March 21 is American Agriculture Day. Nowhere in American industry will you find a more enterprising group of people than those who feed u! Up before 5 a.m. and often working past dusk, he’s a hard working engineer, bookkeeper, and specialist in machinery, seeds, soil and chemicals. His operation is constantly threatened by weather, insects, or plant diseases, and he gambles it all to feed our nation. I know that I often take America’s abundance for granted. If the price of meat goes up a few cents per pound, I don’t give much thought to the effort and risk that went into providing it. It is most interesting to visit one of our supermarkets with strangers to our country. They can’t believe the quantity, the freshness, or the, prices. Historically, when our country began, almost 85 percent of the families lived on a farm. Today only five percent of our people raise crops and one farmer can feed 53 people. This is three times as many as 20 years ago when there were twice as many farm workers. In fact, in just the last 10 years, agricultural production has climbed 20 percent, and this on six percent fewer acres. Here in Michigan, our farmers received 1.7 billion dollars for their products in 1975. With the addition of transportation, procession and marketing, this brought the value of Michigan’s agricultural industry to approximately 8.5 billion dollars. This makes agriculture Michigan’s second largest industry. The Director of the Michigan Department of Agriculture has a bumper sticker on his car that says it all. “Agriculture is everyone’s bread and butter.” American Agriculture Day on March 21 is certainly “What’s Cooking in Michigan” this week.

Letter to the Village of Nashville We have informally received information that the Village of Nashville no longer wishes to pursue a sewage works project though the Federl-State grant program. If this is true we feel that you should be fully aware of the consequences of such inaction. The Village of Nashville is required to abate pollution of the Thornapple River by the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit. This permit has the same authority as an order of the Michigan Water Resources Commission and the Federal Environmental Protection Agency. Failure to pursue Federal grant monies in a timely fashion will result in the State of Michigan seeking the abatement of pollution by the Village of Nashville without grant assistance. We feel confident that the courts would sustain such an action in light of the fact that available grant funds were refused. Pollution of the Thornapple River by the Village of Nashville is caused by several sources. The primary source is the Village’s existing treatment facility. Two other sources were identified in the approved facilities plan for the Village of Nashville. One is the residential area north of the Thornapple River near M-66. This area was reported to have raw sewage discharges to the plans and specifications by the river. The other is the residential Village’s engineer. If this is not area near Quaker Brook, Part of done the state will immediately this area was reported to have take appropriate enforcement diversion discharges to Quaker action. We trust that the position of the Brook of raw of partially treated sewage. All sources of pollution State of Michigan is clear and that the Village of Nashville will must be abated. It is expected that a Step 2 indeed continue its program to grant will be offered to the protect the quality of our Village of Nashville in the near environment Very truly yours, future.

Governor Milliken, in cooperation with the Michigan Lung Association and the American Lung Association of Southeastern Michigan, has proclaimed March 27 - April 2 as ■ Michigan Nonsmokers’ Week to correspond to the April 1 effective date of a daw banning smoking in all retail food stores and a law requiring restaurants with a seating capacity of 50 or more to provide a nonsmoking section to patrons. In his proclamation, Governor Milliken urges “all the citizens of this state to recognize the hazards of smoking and of ‘secondhand smoke.” In his State of the State message in January of 1976, Governor Milliken said, “Reflecting concern over the prevention of illnesses related to cigarette smoking, I have supported a number of legislative proposals which are designed to protect the rights of the nonsmoker as well as the smoker.” He asked the legislature to give consideration to bills regulating smoking in public meetings, hospitals, nursing homes, homes for the aged, grocery stores, and restaurants. All of those bills are now law with the exception of the public meetings bill which perished in committee last year. “It’s been a revelation to some people that nonsmokers have rights,” said William Sederburg, Ph.D., chairman of Michigan Lung Association’s Smoking and Health Committee. Seder burg said, “It’s fascinating and generally unknown that smoke from the burning end of a cigarette has higher concentrations of noxious compounds than the smoke inhaled by the smoker.

Spent a half day at Cypress Gardens. The flowers were just beautiful and lots of them. The canal boat trip was so pretty. One would never believe they had a bad winter there. Flowers were pretty everywhere. Spent over a half day at Circus World. This is a tremendous show. One should spend one whole day there. They have 50 performers, 3 herds of elephants, 15 lions, and many more animals. Guess who rode the elephant? They have a super cinarama movie called “American Circus” and one large show of just magic acts. Spent a half day at Busch Gardens. This year they visited the Brewery and had a delightful treat from the company. - Sunday night we attended the Passion Play at Lake Wales. Everybody took blankets and heavy coats. For the first time it was nice and warm in just shirt sleeves. There were 6000 people on the hillside and it was absolutely quiet for the whole 2%, hour production. The players are the famous Black Hills players. Stopped at NASA and took the tour. Many changes since last year. Saw the Saturn V8 engine capable of 24,000 miles per hour, 11.1 feet high, 1,030,400 N. thrust, or 230,600 lbs. The Titan 3 sends back TV pictures from around the world. India uses the Titan 3 to teach the people farming, math, etc. The Apollo 13 flight lasted 142 hours, 54 minutes, and 44 seconds. Known as Aquarius. The pilot said in the farewell, “Farewell, Aquarius. We thank you. She was a good ship.” 100,000 birds winter at the Cape each year. There are also deer and many other animals. Man has proven that he can live and work in space for an indefinite time. Complex 39 has launched all men to the moon. The shuttle ship which is in California will carry people to the moon in 1979. It will be launched from the Cape but make an earth landing at Edwards Air Base in California. One can ride this shuttle and be dressed as if in your own living room. It will eventually carry passengers. The VAB building is 82 stories high and has the largest inside volume of any building in the U.S.. The large flag on the side, which they had just started last year, is 209 feet high, each stripe is 8*4 feet wide, and the flag is 110 feet wide. The largest flag in the world. It took 500 gallons of paint to finish it. There are 129*4 cubic feet of inside space in the VAB. They have a crane which can lift 175 tons, the stage 1 of the orbital shuttle was already on the pad. It takes 37 months to construct stage 2 of the rocket After 1979, they expect to launch 40 flights a year. It takes 11 men to operate the rocket mover which moves 1 mile per hour. It moves 18 feet on one gallon of gas. The so-called shuttle is expected to go 100 - 120 missions to the moon. The G forces will not exceed 3 so anyone can go to the moon. Better apply for your ticket now. The cost of the VAB was 200 million dollars. Next stop was at Daytona Beach where most everyone played in the sand and got their feet wet in the Atlantic. Next year we hope to spend all day and one night there. Also next year to Miami for 2 days. Many new things in next year’s trip. Next stop was in St. Augustine and we did the old city. Four of us went to the beach and got tanned a wee bit. The weather, after Wednesday, was delightful. Bushels of oranges. The trees which had no leaves are diseased and will be cut down. A fruit farmer told me that this year was a bumper crop and only 14 percent was damaged by frosL Yet they had much more than last year. We paid exaictly the same price for fruit as we did last year. Tomatoes were getting ripe in several areas. This is their second planting because the winter did hiin the tomatoes. We had huge fresh strawberries. I am sure our papeis exagerated the total damage.

BRIGHTER ECONOMY - Our state’s economy is expected to continue growing this year with personal income and retail sales up 11 percent. An additional 95,000 jobs are expected to be created. However, our employment level will still be below the level we reached at the end of 1973. PRISON PROBLEM - a resolution has just been introduced in tire House asking for a committee to study alternatives to relieve our overcrowded prison conditions. One suggestion is that phased-out military bases could be converted into medium security prisons. The proposed committee would consider this and other possible solutions to the problem.

There’s a state law penalizing anyone who sells or furnishes cigarettes in any form to minors (those under 18 years of age). A maximum fine of $50 or jail sentence of 30 days hangs oyer the head of the offender. Minors are not allowed to smoke on property used for public purposes or in a public place of business or amusement and can be arrested for an offense. Anyone harboring a minor and granting him the privilege of smoking cigarettes can be penalized. This act was not intended to interfere with parental or guardian rights. Other laws passed in the spring of 1976 require hospitals, nursing homes; and homes for the aged to develop a smoking policy. This means that patients are able to choose whether they wish to be placed with smokers, or smokers nonsmokers. Designated smoking areas have to be set aside and both visitors and staff must be restricted to smoking in those areas. “Since nonsmokers now outnumber smokers three to one in the general population, the nonsmoker’s RIGHT TO BREATHE CLEAN AIR is a legitimate and serious consideration,” Sederburg said. “The smoker has a right to smoke as long as his smoke does not impinge on the air breathing space of the rionsmoker who finds secondhand smoke offensive, irritating, unhealthy.” Nonsmokers who have been rebuffed with a gruff, “I’m allergic to YOU” when complaining to a smoker about an offensive cigarette, now have supportive legislation.

The various committee chairmen reported on the progress for the festival scheduled the last weekend of April. Everything seems to be running smoothly. The 1977 festival queen Shirley O’Dell and her court were special guests at the meeting. (In photo) Desserts were served following the meeting. (Maple Valley News Photo) The Pennock Hospital Building Fund Drive has reached $114,225 in cash and pledges. One hundred and fifty-four (154) business firms and individuals throughout Barry County have contributed to the building drive. Contributions have ranged from 50 cents to $12,500. There has been a wide range of support including large corporations, small business firms, individuals, and organizations such as a Cub Scout Pack and a Brownie Troop. There has been $56,003 received in cash and $58,222 has been received in pledges. Many pledges include the years of 1977 and 1978. Richard Fluke, Executive Director of Pennock Hospital, stated that “Although we have surpassed our original goal of $100,000, we are most willing to ^accept additional contributions. For each $1,000 of contribution, the hospital will save in the next 10 years in principal and interest $1,472.40. Financing of $550,000 has been secured through the Hastings City Bank and the National Bank of Hastings. Additional contributions will help to reduce the maximum financing of $550,000 and, in effect, reduce the cost of patient care for the next 10 years. Anyone wishing to make a cash donation or pledge may do so. The new building will contain a plaque listing all of the names of those who supported the Building Drive. It is anticipated that construction will begin early in May and continue for approximately 16 months. Plans have been finalized between the architect and hospital and final approval by the Michigan Department of Public Health is expected in the next few weeks. �Maple Valley New*, Nashville, Wednesday April 6,1977 Page 2 to the editor... After listening to Mr. Wolfe and and effort the teachers put into the school board at the special achieving these standards. Continually, the board takes meeting Monday night, I have some definite questions as to away valuable planning and where the priorities of the Maple preperation time from the Valley System lie. From the looks teachers. According to the of the proposed cuts they seem to proposed cuts, art and music will be saying “take from the be taken out of the elementary elementary and give to the high curriculum. Not only does this school.” They seem to be saying take away two valuable classes that emphasis need not be placed from the students, it also takes in the formative years of a child's away precious planning time education. Instead, let’s make from the teachere. The board things as nice as we can for them assumes that the classroom teacher will teach these things, in high school. The Maple Valley Schools are which they probably will. This very fortunate to maintain the will require more planning, with high cuality of teachers that they less preparation time given employ at the elementary level. them.

No art or music teachers in the ELEMENTARY schools. 2. Elimination of 3 aides in the ELEMENTARY that primarily work with children who need help in special areas. 3. No band at the 5th grade ELEMENTARY level. 4. No field eld trips for ELEMENTARY school kids yet buses will travel for athletic competition. 5. One section of kindergarten cut at Maplewood and possibly one section at Fuller Street ELEMENTARY. 6. One section at the 7th grade level. 7. One section at the 8th grade level. We cannot begin to understand how the board and the administration can possibly justify the cuts made in elementary art and music and yet continue to have 7th and 8th grade basketball. These programs cut are academic subjects at the elementary level just as they are at the high school level. The art and music teachers have had special training in these areas thus making them much more qualified to teach these subjects. The elementary levels are the times when children should begin to develop an interest in these subject^. If you have a gifted child in this area think how he or she will suffer! Yet, they continue to keep selected sports - areas that also cost money but only involve a handful of children and not the approximately 1,000 elementary children that have previously benefited from these two Continued next page Applications are now being accepted for the 37th Annual Maple Syrup Fest­ ival Parade to be held Saturday, April 30th.

We wish to thank all the youngsters and merchants in Nashville and Vermontville for making our first annual Easter Coloring Contest such a huge success! both the high school and the grade school, the aids will be taken from the elementary schools. It only seems natural, doesn’t it? Cut down the teacher preperation time, increase the number of classes she must teach, and take away the help an aid might give in working with the children who need extra help. Great logic! Sorry kids, you are the losers, but don’t worry, when you get to the high school you will get the attention you should have recieved in elementary school. I do not intend this to be critical of our high school. We have a fine staff of teachers, a good athletics program, and a good band program. These are all important elements in a good education. What I am saying is that if cuts must be made, let’s make them equally throughout the system. Let’s not spoil a good system, which we all have worked so hard to attain, by weakening it at the roots. There are some things which you the citizens and parents can do. There will probably be another school millage election held before the 1977-78 school year. A YES vote from you could help prevent the need for any cuts from our present program. However, if the millage should be defeated, I would strongly urge you to contact a member of the school board and express your concerns over where the cuts are being taken. Sincerely, David Doozan 2nd Grade Teacher Fuller St. School MacDonalds Boxed ■■ COUPON ■■■■■■ \M/ cuts, I’m sure they will feel free to put that many in a room again. This again seems to be saying, “They are only little kids. It won’t hurt them any. After all you can fit more children in one room since they don’t take up as much space.” Itis very hard for a kindergarten teacher-to teach all the basics to that many children. It seems to be a poor start for a child on his way to a long education. Remember, these are the years when a child is forming his attitude about his education. Another proposal is to cut three aids.

In the past, there has been no charge to attend some sports events and yet these teams travel many miles to participate in athletic competition. We are also questioning the elimination of the elementary field trips. We realize that by cutting these it may save the district about $400. However, do they realize that many times this field trip is the only time a child may tour a museum, a newspaper plant, or see a show at a planetarium? These are definitely enrichment activities that can only benefit the total education of our children. A YES vote to pass the millage would have prevented these cuts, but because of the no vote we realize that there needed to be cuts made. However, why weren’t the cuts made evenly in all areas such as secretaries or at the administrative level? After all, the purpose of schools is to educate our children.

The stories are humorous mysteries much in the same context as the Hardy Boys. Don and a friend began writing these mysteries in 7th grade, with the characters potraying themselves and their friends. “I would like to be a self­ employed writer and cartoonist someday,” said Don. “I’d like to have a comic strip or illustrate my books. “I’m flattered they picked something I wrote to be published.” He said he never knows the ending of the mystery when he starts writing. “It’s more fun to write it as I go.” “Don is a super writer, with very good imagination and a wide vocabulary,” said Dorothy Carpenter, English Department chairman at the school. “He’s got the makings of becoming a professional writer.” News of our Servicemen Airman John L.

Court St., Hastings, Michigan P.O. Box A, Nashville, Michigan (Phone, Hastings — 945-9554) Volume 103 No. 48 — Wednesday April 13, 1977 Local groups make preparations for upcoming Syrup Festival More than 650 pounds of sausage was fried by the Vermontville American Legion members on Good Friday in preparation for their annual festival pancake and sausage sale. The legion will sell the food at the Maple Syrup Festival Saturday, April 30, from 6 a.m. until they run out of food (about 8 p.m.). The cooked sausages are now frozen, then reheated at the festival. The sale is at the Lgion Hall above Michigan National Bank. The Maple Valley Band Boosters also have an annual sausage and pancake sale during the festival at- the Vermontville Fire Barn. They are open Saturday and Sunday. The Vermontville Congregational and Methodist Churches also sell large quantities of food at the festival. “We feed about 2,500 people on Saturday,” said Legion member Jack Rathburn. “The people can eat as many pancakes as they’d like, and we serve rear butter, milk and coffee. We go through about 40 gallons of syrup each year, which we get from the Corey farm.” Prices are $2.00 for adults and $1.00 for children under 12. These prices are in accordance with the Band Boosters sale. “We seat about 100 to 110 people at a time,” said Rathburn. “On a good day, the people are lined up from 9:30 until closing. “We hire kids from 5th grade on up for $1.00 an hour to serve and clean up. They work like troopers. We couldn’t do it without these boys and girls. We also get adult volunteers from as far away as Middleville.” The proceeds from the Legion sale go for a safety patrol trip which the organization sponsors, Little League and American Legion baseball teams, Boys State Police School, and other events and things they sponsor throughout the year. The annual sale is the Legion’s only money­ making project of the year. Ken Trumble, 4th in state wrestling tourney Ken Trumble, son of Mr. and Mrs. Stan Trumble of Vermontville, placed 4th in the State United States Kids Wrestling Federation Tournament Saturday at Grand Rapids Junior College. He was the only Maple Valley area wrestler competing in the tourney. Maple Valley 300*500 mile club is running! With the coming of Spring the Maple Valley 300-500 Mile Club will swing into high gear.

That is one of the conclusions Auto Club has drawn from a total of 3,700 members who responded to a one-page questionaire in the November Motor News magazine and a Member Advisory Survey mailed to a random selection of Auto Club members in December. The surveys were designed to determine the feelings, attitudes, opinions and intent of Auto Club members on a variety" of topics, including car buying, the energy situation, automobile legislation, public transportation, driving safety and vacation plans. Seventy-two percent of the respondents to the Motor News survey who said they intended to buy'aT977 car preferred either a full- or intermediate- size vehicle, with 18 to 29 year olds most receptive to smaller cars. Small cars for saving fuel were viewed as tolerable but undesireable by half of the respondents.

LETTER FROM THE DNR CONCERNING NASHVILLE SEWERS Dear Mr. Frith: Pursuant to our meeting on March 31, 1W7 and per your request I will reiterate the pertinent points stated at that meeting. The State of Michigan, Department of Natural Resources through the Water Resources Commission has by law 'Michigan Act 245 and Federal Public Law 92-900), the obligation to protect the waters of the State The enforcement of these laws has been deferred by policy of the Michigan Water Resources Commission as long as a community timely pursues Federal-State grants for water pollution abatement. When a community fails to pursue StateFederal grants in a timely fashion to abate water pollution it is incumbent upon the Department of Natural Resources and the Water Resources Commission to enforce the laws of the State. If the Village of Nashville wishes not to preceed with the grant porgram. the Department of Natural Resources would need to initiate enforcement action to abate pollution. Such action could lead to the State Attorney General filing suit against the Village of Nashville. If bonding for the waste treatment improvement is blocked by the voters of the village other means of financing must be sought. Details of other available financing should be obtained from a financial consultant. It is our hope that the Village of Nashville will take advantage of available Step 2 grant funds and avoid these unpleasant consequences. WATERQUALITY DIVISION Fred E.

About one million Michigan taxpayers will be filing their federal income tax returns in the final two weeks of the filing season, according to R. L. Plate, IRS district director. IRS office personnel and telephone assistors stand ready to help the eleventh hour filers, according to Plate. But, he added, “the time to get started on the job is now!” As of Friday, April 1, the IRS Service Center in Cincinnati had received almost 2.4 million Forms 1040 and 1040A from early bird filers in Michigan, about par for the date, IRS says. At the final count, individual returns from state residents will number about 3,4000,000, according to Plate. Early filings are typically those who expect to have a refund coming. And this year, according to IRS figures, tax refunds are being issued at a record dollar level. Refunds to Michigan taxpayers so far this year have almost reached the $1 billion mark, says Plate. Those still seeking help will find it available by phone or at the nearest IRS office. IRS telephone service is free of toll charges from any point in the state. There is also no charge for in-person help at any IRS office. The IRS assistance schedule is: Toll-Free Telephone Help Monday thru Friday 8:30 a.m. 5:15 p.m. can be reached at Grand Rapids, 774-8300; Lansing, 394-1550; Elsewhere in area codes 517, 616, and 906, call 800-482-0670.

Michigan State University horticulturists can’t guarantee that it won’t happen again, but they’re assuming it .won’t as they offer these tips on timely lawn and garden activities for April: - Early in the month indoors, sow the seed of fast growing annuals like cosmos, marigold and calendula for transplanting outdoors next month. - Save Easter lilies for planting outdoors if you intend to force them next year. - Begin weekly plantings of gladioli in late April. Weekly plantings through June 15 will give you a continuous supply of cut flowers all summer. - Prepare outdoor beds for annuals. Spade or till to work in peat moss, sand and fertilizer. - Outdoors in late April, seed sweet alyssum, larkspur, annual chrysanthemums and cornflowers. - Fertilize perennial flowers. - Begin a regular spray program for fruit trees as soon as growth resumes. - Plant lilly bulbs, dormant roses, trees, shrubs and fruit trees. - Remove half the mulch from roses, strawberries, bulbs and perennials. The rest can come off in late April or early May. - Fertilize blackberries, raspberries, currants and gooseberries. Do not fertilize strawberries now - wait until after they have flowered and borne fruit. - Apply weed control sprays in raspberries. - Work the garden soil as soon as it’s dry enough. Add fertilizer and lime, if necessary, following the recommendations of a soil test - In early April, plant parsley seed, onion seeds and sets, leaf lettuce, carrots, cauliflower, chard, kohlrabi, raspberries, strawberries, grapes, rhubarb, asparagus, early potatoes, radishes, spinach, beets, turnips, salsify and parsnips. Later in the month after the soil has warmed up - plant sweet corn, SNAPPER FAST. TWO WAYS 5 forward speeds • Large capacity bag & reverse. mounted between handles.

Do not prune spring flowering shrubs now - that would remove the flower buds and prevent blooming. - Inspect trees and shrubs for scale insects and bagworms. Handpick and destroy bagworms. Each little bag contains hundreds of eggs that will hatch around June 1. Spray trees and shrubs with scale with a dormant oil spray when temperatures are above 45 degrees F. - Check spruce trees for brownish swellings at the tips of the branches. These indicate spruce gall aphids are present Spray the tree now with lindane or liquid lime sulfur, or wait until late June to prune off this year’s crop of aphid galls. - Rake or dethatch your lawn if it has one-half inch or more of thatch. An early mowing to one inch will remove old, dry grass blades to make way for new growth. - Do not fertilize lawns now. Research has shown that early spring fertilizing increases some lawn disease problems. Wait until June to apply nitrogen at one-half pound per 1,000 square feet. -- Begin regular mowing when the grass turns green and starts growing again. - Apply a pre-emergence herbicide for crabgrass control in lawn areas. - Get motorized lawn and garden equipment in shape for the growing season.

Looking as if he had just stepped off the set of a “Police Story” episode with his shaggy, shoulder length hair, Fu Manchu mustache, tinted glasses, “mod” clothes, and street lingo and mannerisms, he informed the chamber about his work and the drug problem in the area. Schoder has been a police officer for seven years, in narcotics for five years, three as an undercover officer. His father was a policeman for 33 years. Barry County Sheriff David Wood, and Ken Blue, director of the Region 3 Crime Unit were also special guests at the chamber meeting. “The most serious problem we deal with is heroin,” said Schoder. It’s so physically addicting, the body has to have it. Junkies will do anything to get it. One of the heroin addicts in Battle Creek went to his girlfriend’s mother’s house, and bound, gagged, and robbed the mother. “If the addict goes without it for say, maybe a day, they withdraw and get physically sick. I’ve seen many ruin their lives because of heroin.” Schoder said heroin sales are above 34 of the top 50 companies in the country, making a $10 billion profit annually. He said if a heroin pusher has a good connection he can buy one ounce of 20 percent heroin for about $1500, mix it with lactos, junk sugar, other ingredients and make two ounces of 10 percent heroin. They sell one gram for $90 to $100 and can make $5600 on a $1500 purchase. “The pushers give the prospective users special deals on the heroin at first,” said Main Street in downtown Vermontville has new sidewalks Schoder. “Then they jack-up the on both sides of the street in time for the annual Maple prices when they’re hooked.

There was concern expressed relative to the need to spend more time on the basics in the elementary grades. General concern was expressed relative to the cost of operating the athletic program and where the gate receipts are spent. General fund bills in the amount of $31,249.80 were approved for payment.

The council restricted itself to doing only the grant eligible portions of the project. The council had a three week period to accept or reject the step 2 grant offer. If delayed, the village may have been closed out for step 3 grant eligiblity. Nashville is currently 199th out of over 600 on the grant priority list Fred Timmer, engineering consultant from Williams and Works Inc., said he feels the village has wasted too much time for it to reach the Sept. 30 deadline to receive step 3 grants The council decided to obtain the option on the prospective land, the condemnation of the site, or look for an alternate site for the treatment facility. The council had wished abide by the vote of the people, but since the latest communications with the.Michigan Department of Natural Resources felt they had no choice but to proceed with the grants. The council’s criteria was that now 80 percent of the project would now be paid for with grand funding and if they wait they (the village) would have to pay much more for the project.

(Maple Valley News Photo) Unemployment reaches lowest levels in over two years Unemployment in Michigan and the Detroit metropolitan area dropped to its lowest levels in over two years, falling to 8.1 percent in the state and 7.7 percent in the metropolitan area during March, according to estimates released today by S. Martin Taylor, director of the Michigan Employment Security Commission. Taylor explained that there were 325,700 unemployed workers in the state during March, which was down by 22,700 from February when 348,400 were jobless and the rate was 8.7 percent. In March 1976, the jobless rate was 10.6 percent with 418,800 unemployed. In the Detroit Metropolitan area (Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Livingston Lapeer and St. Clair Counties), the March jobless total was 145,500, down by 12,500 from February’s level of 158,000 and a rate of 8.4 percent A year ago, the .March unemployment rate was 10.2 percent with 190,500 out of work. Both the state and Detroit area unemployment rates hit over two year lows in March. Michigan’s jobless rate fell to its lowest level since October 1974 when it was 7.2 percent with 285,300 unemployed. Thd current Detroit area estimates are the lowest since September 1974 when the rate was 7.3 percent with 138,000 Out of work. Taylor explained that employment was up by over 49,000 throughout the state and by over 28,000 in the Detroit area during March. The job gains were primarily in the manufacturing, retail trade and service areas during the month, he. said.

Our priorities used to be heroin and cocaine, now they’re heroin and PCP. PCP is really a bad drug. “Personally, I think LSD is the worst drug outside of heroin. All other drugs affect the nervous system, but LSD affects the mind. The users don’t know what’s reality and what isn’t. “We’ve bought everything from heroin to marijauna and the whole spectrum of drugs in Barry County, but PCP and marijuana are the most common. “To sell marijuana is a felony crime by state statute. It is becoming more and more a social issue, but as long as law is law, we’ll bust the dealers. I don’t think marijuana will be legalized, in Michigan. 48 million Americans now have alcohol problems, why legalize something that could affect another 48 million people? “I have personally purchased ddrugs from a 15 year old, and I’ve heard of a 12 year old overdozing from drugs. The most common drug users are in the age group right after high school, but it’s not only kids in the drug scene, there are also adults who should ow better. know better.” needed for buys, but we often use thousands of dollars are used for drug enforcement and many drug crime units have had to fold because of the lack of funds. “We are in our third year of local funding, and we feel very fortunate to be backed here. Our formula is to take the investigation as far as our funds can take us. Lots of cash is let the dealer get away with our money. However, sometimes we let the ‘money walk’ so we can get to a higher dealer. In this case, we get restitution through the courts where the dealers pay us back with the buy money. Schoder was asked if some officers are on the ‘take’. “There are very isolated times when the police go bad, but most officers forfeit alot of their personal lives for the job and are sometimes shot and killed trying to protect the public. It really gripds me when all the front page stories in the newspapers tell only the bad things the police do. “I really enjoy my job. I’m actually a part of the crime and I get first hand experience in knowing what the criminal is really thinking.” Schoder said that hundreds of the ‘buy-bust’ method and don’t GREAT ANNUAL GENERAL ELECTRIC Church of Nazarene sets two records TWO APPLIANCES IN ONE AND ONLY 28" WIDE!

This week the Senate Judiciary Committee will have the opportunity to begin action on them. WIRETAP HEAT - The most controversial part of the anti­ drug-dealer package is HB 4191, which authorizes limited wiretaps. Proponents argue that it’s necessary to get evidence; opponents say that it’s infringing on civil liberties. FIRE DANGER - It may not have seemed like it, but this has been a “dry” winter for the U.P. and northern lower Michigan. As’ a result, the threat of forest fires is the worst in many years, so take extra care as you travel this spring & summer. SCHOOL LOAN FUND Governor Milliken has now signed into law a bill establishing an emergency loan fund for school districts facing budget deficits. Previously, state law did not allow districts to borrow money to cover operating expenditures. NEW LAWS - At the first of this month, many laws took effect since that date was 90 days after the end of the 1976 legislative session. These included the Open Meetings Act, a Consumer Protection Act, an act requiring many restaurants to have an area reserved for nonsmokers, and an act banning smoking near food in grocery stores. UTILITY STAMPS? This Wednesday morning there will be a public hearing in the House on HB 4371, which would establish a coupon program for low-income persons and senior citizens to purchase utility services. The program would be run like the food-stamp program. HELMET BILLS - Two bills before the full House this week are HB 4304-05, which would repeal Michigan’s mandatory motorcycle helmet law, except for persons under 18. NASHVILLE VILLAGE RESIDENTS SPRING CLEAN-UP NOTICE The Village of Nashville will have one spring clean-up ONLY. Wednesday, April 27, 1977. All trash in containers at the curb will be picked up. Susan M. Corkwell Village Clerk Motorcyclists have argued for years that their rights are viloated by having to wear helmets; but safety authorities maintain the law is constitutional and that helmets save lives. TAX OPTION - Just introduced is HB 4478, which would allow school district voters to approve a 1 percent personal and 0.8 percent business income tax, in exchange for a 9-mill reduction in local property taxes. This would help provide property tax relief. SHORT HOUSE - Now that two State Representatives have won special elections for the State Senate, the House has only 108 members, and a bill requires 55 instead of 56 votes to pass. This will continue until June 28, when the vacant seats will be filled by special election. Behavioral weight control group to form Would you like to lose weight?

As you may have noticed, our employees do not wear uniforms. They dress in the way they think is most appropriate to get their jobs done. While this permits them-to look like the individuals they really are, it really doesn’t help you identify them as Bell employees. But, there is a way. Every Bell employee who comes to service your phone is required to carry a Michigan Bell identification card giving his or her name, photograph and signature. For your protection, ask to see this card before you admit them into your home. They’ll be happy to show it to you.

This meeting was for the purpose of coming up with a reduction of programs in the school system due to failure of the millage proposal. You came up with a general summary of reductions. I feel that you have made a half hearted effort to come up with an acceptable format. Your list of suggested areas of reduction, item No. 8 in par­ ticular suggested that the possible reduction in administrative area be looked into. The very next day, March 22, 1977, the board of education approved two and three year contracts for administrators. Looks to me that you do not and did not ever intend to reduce your overhead factors but only to make weak attempts at such and continue to hammer away for more taxes.

It would provide $10 million to employ some 6,000 youths in a variety of outdoor jobs. VANISHING SPECIES - The House is about to take action on HB 4266, which would repeal Michigan’s presidential primary. If enacted, this would be the primary’s second “death”; it was killed after the 1928 election, then revived in time for 1972. POLITICAL REFORM - The legislature will soon consider bills to implement sections of the erstwhile 1975 Reform Act. HB 4044 covers interest conflicts and political ethics; HB 4469 would more closely monitor the ac­ tivities of lobbyists. PRISON PROBLEMS This week the legislature will receive the Governor’s recommendations for easing current overcrowding in Michigan prisons. A pending lawsuit would have the courts order a plan; other proposals are for $435-million bonding program to build new prisons, and for conversion of a former warehouse, seminary, or Air Force base to be prisions. NEW BUSINESS - One of the first things the House did after returning from Easter recess w s to pass Senate Resolutions 80, calling for establishment of paper recycling procedures for the House and Senate. Great quantities of paper are now merely thrown away. SMALL BUSINESS - A Small Business Resources Conference will be held this Tuesday, 'April 26, at Long’s Convention Center in Lansing. Participants will learn of available assistance for small businesses from state and federal agencies, and from private groups. BUDGET FUND - Now that much of the new budget has been reviewed, the legislature may soon begin consideration of Governor Milliken’s proposal for a budget stabilization fund. This would put surplus state money in good years into a special fund to be used when the state is hardpressed for income, as in recession years. The likely bill is SB 42. EFFICIENCY SAVINGS Over half of last November’s recommendations by the Michigan Efficiency Task Force have been, or are in the process of being, implemented, allowing state government to avoid $73 million in annual expenditures. More savings should come in the near future. APPLES TO ASIA - A recent tour of seven Asian countries and Australia by a Michigan Agriculture Department official has produced man^ potential foreign orders for pork tongues, duck feet, beef tenderloins, Michigan wine and various fruits and vegetables.

Marine Private First Class William N. Zimmerlee, son of Mr. and Mrs. Everett H. Zimmerlee of 1093 Battle Creek Road, Charlotte, has completed the. Basic Supply Stock Control Course. The seven-iyeek course was conducted at the Marine Corps Service Support School at Camp Lejeune, N.C. The course was designed to prepare students for future assignment to supply administration and operation duties. Students received instruction on the use of supply publications and catalogs, plus preparation and filing of naval correspon­ dence and directives. Their studies centered on the procedures used in the Marine Corps to receive, issue, control and account for government property. A 1969 graduate of Charlotte High School, he joined the Marine Corps in October 1976. Marine Second Lieutenant Randal B. Van Dyke, whose wife Lynnette is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Eldred of 9087 Brookfield Road, Charlotte, was graduated from the Basic School. The Basic School is located at the Marine Corps Development and Education Command in Quantico, Va. It is designed to prepare newly-commissioned officers for assignment to the Fleet Marine force and em­ phasizes the duties and responsibilities of a rifle platoon commander.

Marie, Ontario Algoma Central Railway the gateway to yesterday — ' through which it passes for an Algoma Central tour ticket is also a front row seat to a panorama of wilderness alive, in full colour and by, uninterrupted commercial breaks. Algoma Central’s Wilderness 'Tour to Agawa Canyon provides all of this and takes but a day of the traveller’s time. , The train ride, in total 228 miles, is a first for many of those who take the trip during the summer vacation period. After Labour Day a different age group boards the train. Thus for five months each year Algoma Central’s tour train, is a paradox, the completion of a full circle or the backward motion of a pendulum. Is it the train or is it the environment which brings these thousands to ride, to look and many to return to ride and look again. The train is equipped with ‘ reasonably modern, air- , The clickity clack of rail car wheels as they pass over each rail joint and the lonesome wail of a locomotive whistle are slowly slipping out of the travel world of today. Meanwhile a nostaligia toward the past, of things that were and now are not is daily gaining a momentum like that of a trans­ continental passenger train brushing aside the night in an effort to reach its destination on schedule. The Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario depot of the Algoma Central Railway is the gateway to yesterday. From June 1 to October 10, the railway operates a daily tour train service between its southern terming! in Sault Ste. Marie, northward one hundred miles to scenic Agawa Canyon thousands Tlock to pay homage to the past* Their supplication is not only to the train but to the environment 5 ealth-wise conditioned picture window coaches and has one or two dining cars, dependent on the number of patrons on any particular day. The ride is comfortable. The passengers are relaxed, freed from the responsibilities of highway travel. There is not even an opportunity for concern from back seat drivers as very little other rail traffic is scheduled to conflict with the tour train’s operation. The trip itself is of nine hours duration for the train sets a leisurely pace on its northward journey 114 miles to Agawa Canyon. At the Canyon there is a two hour stop-over before the 31^ hour return trip to Sault Ste. Marie. The train takes leave of the city by a circuitous route. The depot is centrally located and the track encircles one half of the city travelling west, then north and again east, before making its final directional change and heading into the hinterlands of Lake Superior. Once into what is called Algoma Central Coqntry the train meanders in a general northerly direction around lakes and beside streams, crossing rivers and valleys and twisting between the rugged rock faced hills of Ontario’s Laurentians. The scenery enroute is superb. The lakes blue with dancing waters. The rivers swift or lazy as the terrain dictates. The hills ever changing in colour. At Agawa Canyon, the railway has created a natural park setting where the Canyon floor is most verdant. Here you may picnic, fish or explore the rugged rock faces. faces. There There is is a rock tremendous lookout to climb and nature is everywhere. The park is situated on a large bend of the Agawa River. The rail line and the Agawa River are the only forces to penetrate the Canyon since time began and they meet in head on conflict each spring when the warm sun melts the snows on the awesome Canyon cliffs. At Canyon, there is an abundance <of fresh pure water which manifests itself in several mighty waterfalls and many delightful trikles. This is nature unspoiled, unpolluted, accessible, yet inaccessible. The train, the Canyon, the people - they come to ride and to look and they hope that when they return to look again all will be the same. Each season brings something different to this land. It is indeed a land for all seasons. For this reason the railway people have recently started a winter operation. During the months of January, February and March Algoma Central's Snow Train operates in sun or storm each Saturday and Sunday carrying rail fans, nature lovers, photographers and what have ’ you into a winter wonderland bf snow and ice. For those who remember the hay day of the railway passenger train, for those who have never experienced a train ride, there is still time. For the city dweller the lush forests and mountainous terrain of Algoma Central Country, the freshness of the air and the sparkling lakes and streams are a blessed change from the cluttered urban environment. We’re counting on you. Red Cross. The Good Neighbor. > > By Marylou Blosser, RN The Boss Is Back! Healthful Diet Worrying about overweight is a very popular pastime. The early teen years are none too early to be thinking of the good nutrition that will lower risk of artherosclerotic heart disease in later years. The American Heart Asso­ ciation states that about 20 million Americans have some form of heart and blood vessel ailment. Their susceptibility started building up in their earlier years. Diets rich in saturated fat and cholesterol, and too little exercise result in their poundage reaching the overweight level. Researchers have found fatty deposits in the arteries of teenagers and even young children. Parents should be­ come conscious of the highsaturated, high fat cholesterol problems and be aware that they have a great responsi­ bility to do something about it early in their child's life. Good eating habits formed early in life are the best preventatives to overweight. A balanced, adequate diet is one which supplies all the needs of the body. “The Basic Four” is a good guide to a healthy diet. Each person should have one or two glasses of milk a day, At a Low,Low Price! The Boss 1000 • 2 Fan speeds. • Translucent color • 3 Heat settings two servings daily of meat or meat substitute, four or more servings of enriched or whole­ grain bread or cereals, .and four servings a day of vege­ tables and fruits, including at least one citrus fruit. Here are some suggestions for cutting down on choles­ terol and saturated fats (1) Switch from whole milk to low-fat or skim milk. (2) Change to corn or soy oil for cooking. (3) Cut dowg on eggs (egg yolk is very high in cholesterol). (4) Replace but­ ter with polyunsaturated mar­ garine. While there is still no iron­ clad way to prevent artherosclerotic heart disease, we can reduce the risk. Children stand to benefit most of all, by learning early in life to avoid eating patterns that could lead to heart disease in adult­ hood.

Thousands of people, some weekend campers and others out for a pleasurable afternoon, inv ded the village of Vermontville last weekend to partake in the 37th annual Ver­ montville Maple Syrup Festival. Clear skies and temperatures in the 70’s helped draw one of the largest crowds in festival history. “I think this is the best crowd I can ever remember,” said Reinhart Zemke, president of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Association. Festival organizer Steve Rathburn said he was grateful for the perfect weather, and pleased with the support of the local residents ‘both young and old’. Nearly everyone in Ver­ montville made their own per­ sonal contributions to the success of the smoothly run event. The festival is always a fine example of community togetherness and cooperation. A solid wall of humanity gathered along Main Street to view the Grand Parade, in places four or five people deep. The procession featured many old parade standbys, including queens, floats, marching bands, antique cars, clowns, and much more. Riders on prancing horses, thee Eaton aon County ouny Sheriffs er s Posse, osse, mobile homes, lawn tractors, and even stray dogs and lost and confused people made their way down Main Street. All day long, people waited in line for a taste of pancakes and syrup, or one of the meals being served in town, sometimes waiting for as long as two hours. The Maple Valley Band Boosters and the American Legion provided the pancakes and sausage. The United Methodist Church served barbequed chicken, and the Congregational Church served roast beef, pork, biscuits and gravy. Many other organizations and businesses provided food or snacks. The people of Vermontville made sure nobody left town hungry. Continued page 4 People waited in lines all day Saturday for a taste of pancakes and syrup. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville.

Notice to Village of Nashville sewer users In the next few days, engineers from Williams & Works arid local personnel will be conducting a sewer smoke testing project in your neighborhood. This investigation is required as part of the Federal Clean Water Act, administered by the En En-­ vironmental Protection Agency. The investigation Will locate areas where excess water is entering the sanitary sewer system. The smoke is not dangerous, will leave no residue, andwill not damage property. It is irritating to reathe but any ritating to breathe but ariy irritation will disappear quickly once exposure has ceased. If smoke enters your home or building, it will most likely be through leaky pipe joints, dried up drains or untrapped drains. It would be advisable to pour a pail of water down all drains that have not been used recently and cover any untrapped drains with a wet cloth held down by a weight. Plumbing systems adequately vented and properly trapped should not be affected by the test. If smoke should enter your premises through the plumbing system, it is likely that sewer gas could also enter your home. If smoke enters your premises, please contact a member of the testing crew.

Wednesday, May 4, 1977 — Page 7 Social Security benefits resist inflation­ Social security benefits are designed to resist erosion from inflation. “Benefits are automatically increased as the cost of living goes up,” said Robert Flath, social security manager in Grand Rapids. To the 32.6 million people receiving social security checks this has meant a 14.4 percent increase in the past 2 years. “It will mean another 5.9 percent increase in their July checks,” said Mr. Flath. . And to the average worker who thinks of social security as something for the future, the cost of living provision helps assure that his or her benefit will be worth as much as retirement as is i that of the worker who retires today. The social security law was amended in 1972 to provide for automatic increases when the cost of living increased by a FOR SALE: 4 bushels certified amsoy soy beans. Also innaugulation.

The Congress increased monthly .benefits g10 times since benefitsy started in 1940. since The cumulative increase of 391 percent far surpassed the cumulative cost of living advance of 240 percent for the same period, Mr. Flath said. The way it works now, each year living costs increase 3 percent or more and a general benefit increase is not enacted, benefits are increasedd by by a percentage equal to that of the cost of living increase. The in- crease begins with checks issued the following July. The law also provides that the wage base-the amount of wages on which a worker worer pays pays social social security security taxes-increase to help finance the increased benefits.

It was a week end of people getting together just for en­ joyment and the finest of fellowship. The problems of everyday life seemed to vanish in the midst of the many attractions ofthe Festival. A huge crowd just getting together in good-will and neighborliness would have to be considered one of the great at­ tractions. The members of the Com­ mittees, the business people, the Village officials, the Firemen, the Churches, the School, the Service Clubs and the citizenery, certainly deserve a great deal of praise for their tireless work and effort. How well they succeeded! The fine Parades have always been a source of great satisfaction and enjoyment to me. This year was no exception. Tq my mind the Counselors Quartet was a most fitting and meaningful climax and finale to the Parades. The joyous gospel songs rendered by so competent a group of musicians and so ob­ viously happy in “Praising the Lord” was so very meaningful and inspriing. Listening to them one caught a glimpse of that spiritual faith that so inspired and motivated the early pioneers that founded this historic com­ munity. So there was a tie with the heritage of the past and a direction for the future. Truly, it was wonderful. Congratulations, people of Vermontville, you have done it again but perhaps bigger and better than ever before. Surely no individual reflects the interest and success of the community more than the Festival President, Reinhart Zemke. He must be beaming with pride in the great community that he has served so long and in so many capacities.

Indulge it by following some of these timely suggestions from Michigan State University Extension specialists: -Control tent caterpillars on ornamentals by removing and destroying them and their tents, or by spraying with Bacillus thuringiensis, Malathion or Sevin. -Prune spring flowering shrubs immediately after bloom to remove weak, old, damaged or poorly placed branches. Retain the young, vigorous growth that will flower next year. -Inspect Scotch, Austrian and red pines for pine sawfly larvae. They look like caterpillars and raise their heads when disturbed. A malathion or Sevin spray will control them. -Look for spring and fall cankerworm larvae defoliating ornamentals such as maple, hickory, beech, elm and cherry. Larvae are loopers-they move like the proverbial inchworm. A spray of Bacillus thuringiensis, malathion or Sevin will control them-. -Plant dormant trees and shrubs early in the month. -Late in May, give your lawn its first fertilizer application of the year. -Water a new or renovated lawn as needed to help it get established before hot weather. DISTRIBUTOR NEEDED -Fertilize spring flower bulbs before or during bloom. Let the leaves of the bulbs die before you remove them. They produce food to1 build up the bulb for next year’s flowers. —Pinch the tips of chrysanthemums to produce bushy, compact plants. -Plant tuberous begonias and caladiums outdoors in shaded areas. -Plant new chrysanthemums and divide old ones. -Plant dahlias, cannas and summer flowering bulbs through the end of the month. Plant gladioli now through the end of June for a continuous supply of cut flowers. -Apply summer mulches to flower beds and borders. -Fertilize roses and begin spraying weekly with an all­ purpose rose spray to control diseases and insects. Start spraying as soon as new growth appears. -Plant petunias, impatiens, impatiens,, wax begonias and other bedding plants after the danger of frost is past. -Make second and third sowings of onions, lettuce, radishes, spinach, beets and carrots. -Plant warm season vegetables, such as tomatoes, peppers, squash, pumpkins, eggplant, beans, sweet corn and EXCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITY BILLIONS $$ ANNUAL MARKET $1,000.00 INVENTORY RETURNS $2,700.00 < 'J‘r< EXCELLENT PART OR FULL-TME INCOME NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY Man or woman to distribute pre-sold advertised Wdrld FamousALKA-SELTZER, BAYER ASPIRIN, DRISTAN, ANACIN, TUMS,' etc. Restock Company secured accounts weekly. —r- NO INITIAL SEILING!

(Maple Valley News photo) At the regular meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education Monday, May 9, the board members approved a resolution for two mills for operational purposes covering a period of two years, 1977 to 1978 inclusive. The two additional mills based upon the Governor’s state aid proposal would raise an estimated $165,360 which is necessary if the school district is going to be able to continue the present education program.' The two mills represents $2.00 on each $1,000 of state equalized valuation, whereas, the vote in February was for 2.7 mills or $2.70 on each $1,000 of state equalized valuation. The reduction in the requested millage from 2.7 mills to 2.0 mills is possible through ah an­ ticipation in the amount of funds per mill to be received to be in­ creased along with general reduction in school expenditures whenever advisable. Approval of the millage would enable the school ’district to continue employing a teaching staff comparable in size to this school year where grade level enrollment remain comparable, maintain the present" athletic program, a band program in grades 5-12, field trips, teacher aides, and the extra curricular program. It is planned that reductions will be made in the number of coaches or supervisors employed in some extra curricular areas. The registered electors will also be electing two members to the board of education for four year terms beginning July 1, 1977. The following candidates will have their names on the ballot at the annual election June 13, Elizabeth M. Rathbun, Richard Kohfeldt, Robert Dor­ mer, Celester Fox, George Hubka, L.

Each year a week during May is designated to encourage customers on rural, city motorized, and contract delivery routes to examine and improve, when necessary, the appearance of their mailboxes, The purpose of Mailbox Im­ provement is to call attention to the need for providing mail receptacles which are designed to protect the mail from the weather and are neat in ap­ pearance, conveniently located, and safe to use. Attractive mailboxes make a significant contribution to the appearance of the countryside and the streets in suburban areas. Where box numbers are assigned, the box number must be shown on the side of the box visible-to the carrier as he ap­ proaches, or on the door where boxes are grouped together. Customers are encouraged to group boxes wherever it is practicable, especially at or near crossroads, at service turnouts, or at other places where a con­ siderable number of boxes are located. In areas where snow removal is a problem, the use of a semiarch or extended arm support is suggested. This allows snowplows to sweep near or under boxes without damage to the supports and provides easy access to the boxes for carriers and customers. Where the use of street names and house numbers have been authorized, the house number must be shown on the box. If the box is located on a street other than the one on which the customer resides, the street name and number must be in­ scribed on the box. In all instances, the placing of the owner’s name on the box is op­ tional. Mailboxes on both rural and contract routes must be located on the right-hand side of the road in the direction traveled by the carrier wherever it would be dangerous to serve the boxes on the left or where it would be a violation of State or local traffic laws or regulations. Mailbox supports should be of adequate strength and size to property support the box. It has The U.S. Postal Service encourages customers to imrpove their mailboxes for "Mailbox Improvement Week", May 23-28. Boxes should be designed to protect the mail from the weather, neat in apperance and conveniently located for easy delivery. Maple Valley News Photo been reported that some mailbox supports are so massive that they are damaging vehicles and causing serious injuries to people who accidently strike them. The use of heavy metal posts, concrete posts, and items of farm equipment, such as milk cans filled with concrete should be avoided. The ideal support is an assembly that would bend or fall if struck. Boxes and supports should be painted and kept free from nist.

Martin Taylor, director of the Michigan Employment Security Commission. mission. In Michigan, the jobless total fell by 23,800 from the March level to 301,500 in April. Michigan’s April unemployment rate, 7.5 percent of the labor force, was down from 8.1 percent in March and 9.5 percent a year ago. In the Detroit metropolitan area (Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Livingston, Lapeer and St. Clair Counties), the unemployment rate declined from 7.7 percent in March to 7.5 percent in April. The number of unemployed number decreased by 3,400 to 142,200. In April 1976, there were 170,400 unemployed, 9.1 percent, in the Detroit Detroit metropolitan metropolitan area. area. Taylor explained that the unemployment reduction was smaller in the Detroit metropolitan area because of new entrants and re-entrants into the summer labor force. He expects the work force to expand throughout the state over the next couple of months as more people begin their search for summer jobs. Most o__f the emplo.yment in in-­ creases in Michigan and the Detroitarea occurred in the construction and retail trade Employment in sectors.. manufacturing remained virtually unchanged.

Rising car sales, reduced unemployment and plentiful fuel supplies should help propel Michigan tourism to a near record Memorial Day holiday, with state motorists expected to exceed 700 million miles driven for the second time in history, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. “Not since pre-energy crisis 1973, when Michiganians drove 707 million miles, have state drivers passed that mileage hurdle during a Memorial Day weekend,” said Joseph Ratke, Auto Club touring manager. Ratke estimated that state motorists would travel 701 million miles during the up­ coming 78-hour holiday, a 3.2 percent increase over the 1976 Memorial Day total of 679 million miles. The 78-hour holiday officially begins at 6 p.m. Friday (May 27) and ends at midnight Monday (May 30). Last year, 34 perso ns died on state roads over Memorial, Day weekend com­ pared to 28 for the 1975 Memorial Day holiday.

EWING WELL DRILLING WELL DRILLING & REPAIR 2 Inch thru Commercial PH, (5171726-0088 Vermontville, Michigan “Michigan motorists are traveling at a mileage rate ap­ proaching that of 1973,” stated Ratke. “First-quarter traffic counts released by the Department of State Highways show traffic volumes on Michigan roads up seven percent over a year ago. This is the highest beginning three-month period since 1973,” he added. Auto Club member requests for routings to Michigan destinations are up 15 percent over last year’s first quarter totals, with April figures 31 percent above the same month last year. Ratke said that since Michigan will not have to compete with last year’s Bicentennial celebrations in eastern states, more families should be vacationing in the state than last summer. The Auto Club official pointed out that vacation travel has not contributed significantly to the current rise this year compared with the same period of 1976. Ratke said that vacation travel during the year accounts for only 2.5 percent of the total gas burned by motorists. Auto Club is urging motorists to use extra caution on Michigan highways to help keep traffic deaths down. Last Memorial Day holiday’s 34 traffic deaths was thq highest total since the same number of persons was killed during the 1969 Memorial Day weekend. The drinking driver was the major reason for the high death total last .Memorial Day weekend, with 83 percent of the 24 at-fault drivers either known or suspected of consuming alcohol. To aid motorists, Auto Club will operate its 13th consecutive “Bring ’Em Back Alive!” Holiday News Service from 3 to 11 p.m. Friday and from 8 a.m. until 11 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and Monday. A team of 25 Auto Club reporters and broadcasters will provide a network of 160 Michigan radio stations with hourly bulletins on traffic and tourism. Auto Club expects peak traffic periods to be between 7 and 10 p.m. Friday, when most motorists begin their holiday, and from 2 to 10 p.m. Monday during the homebound rush? Motorists traveling to popular Michigan Resort facilities are advised to make their holiday weekend hotel and motel reservations now to avoid disappointment.

The revised TourBook separates accommodations into seven categories: motels, motor inns, hotels, motor hotels, cot­ tages, lodges and complexes. “Each facility listed is only compared with similar types,” explained Joseph Ratke, Auto Club touring manager. “Previously, all AAA-approved establishments were judged together,” Ratke pointed out. “Now, a motel can be awarded a top rating, even though it may not have the amenities of a resort complex. “We believe this updated system is a fairer way to rate accommodations and provide travelers with more detailed information,” he added. Each property is rated on a scale from one to five, marked by diamond symbols, as follows: —One diamond: Meets AAA basic requirements. -Two diamonds: exceeds AAA minimum requirements. --Three diamonds: Significantly exceeds AAA requirements. -Four ' diamonds: offers luxurious accommodations and extra amenities. -Five diamonds: renowned NASHVILLE VFW 8260 & AUXILIARY DANCE ., MAY 28.-9:30-1:30 P.M.

Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday June 1.1977 - Page 8 Rory Garn named travel study coordinator Rory Gam, son of Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Gam of Charlotte, has been named a student coor­ dinator for the John Wesley College foreign travel study program. Rory will live and study in Great Britain for eight months beginning in early September. One of six student coordinators for the 1977-78 JWC travel study program, he will be responsible for coordinating travel study activities for small groupd of JWC students who will travel to Great Britain for four-week periods throughout the 77-78 academic year. He will assist the students in arranging travel, housing and learning experiences. In addition, all six student coordinators will maintain their personal academic work load. Each will pursue independent studies and will affiliate in some way with a college or university in Great Britain for part of their work. According, to a John Wesley College spokesman, the student coordinators were chosen for demonstrated leadership qualities, academic. ac- complishment, spiritual and general maturity. Academic interests were also a con­ sideration so that each JWC student studying in Great Britain would have access to a coor­ dinator with similar interests. Areas of study represented among student coordinators are history, sociology, art, Christian ministries and music. This will be the second time John Wesley College students have traveled in Great Britain. In past years students have studied in Mexico, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Spain, Italy, Great Britain and the countries of Central Europe. The college offers every student the op­ portunity to travel and study in a foreign country each year as part of his regular academic program. In previous years a single full­ time staff person coordinated the activities of large groups of students. In the 1977-78 travel study program each student coordinator wilal be responsible for a small group of ten or twelve students which will be traveling and studying independently. According to a college spokesman, this “decentralized” approach is expected to make foreign study a more personal and meaningful study experience of the students. Rory Garn is a graduate of Maple Valley High School in Vermontville. He is a thrid year student at John Wesley College.

But in the case of wildlife, they are best left alone. This isn’t as heartless and cruel as it seems because when you start trying to be a foster parent, you’re probably taking the young animal from its natural mother and violating state, and perhpas federal, law. There is good reason for both possibilities. State law says it is illegal to capture and confine any wild animal except starlings, English sparrows, pigeons and field mice, etc. Federal law simply protects all migrating and predatory birds. Obviously, the law does not take into, account your good in­ tentions but it does prevent persons from keeping wild animals for personal benefit and prevents the misguided capture of young animals that are being cared for by their natural parents. r If you see a baby bird or young rabbit, etc., in the yard, just leave it alone. It appears to be all by itself because more than likely, the mother is looking for food, trying to lead you away from the young, or just being inconspicuous. Even if you are certain the parents are dead, or you can see crumbs. This simply starves the that the young animal or bird is bird to death: Except for injured, it is still best to leave it predatory birds, quail, pheasant, alone. Death of many young is doves and ducks, feed them small part of the normal mortality in pieces of cheap canned dog food, nature and chances are, the the meat-cereal mixture.

PHONE - 763-3246 “Caring for the Wild Feathered and Furred,” “Bode of Wild Pets," “Our Small Native Animals, Habits and Care.” I’m assuming what you’re doing is for the benefit of the bird or animal, and if you are, it must be taught to survive in the wild as the natural mother would teach it. For example, a young Robin should be taught to find worms in the grass, or at least given the opportunity to run across the lawn so it can teach "itself before left wholly on its own. If you are able to do this, in the process you’ll teach it to trust humans, which can be fatal. The young you turn- loose may be killed by another human from whom it tries to get food. I know of too many such instances. The only solution I know of is to teach the animal to fear human beings just before you turn it loose. This process isn’t pleasant but it is all too necessary. When the animal is obviously afraid or mistrusts you, turn it loose. If necessary, leave food outside for it but don’t hand feed it. Putting all these possible pitfalls and problems together adds up to a difficult and time consuming task on your part, including the heavy odds that you’ll fail in your well intentioned act. The best advice is don’t try, but if you do, be certain you do it right. As always, if good wildlife habitat is protected or created by people, survival of young wild animals will be more than adequate.

Fishermen casting off boats in 15-20 ft. of water along the beaches have had the best luck. Blue and silver Krocodils have been best bait.

Voter approval of the millage would enable the school district to more fully participate in the state aid act resulting n the school district receiving ad­ ditional funds to support the present educational program. Through the approval of the millage the school district .would be able to employ a teaching staff comparable in size to this school year where grade Level enrollments remain comparable, operate a comparable athletic program for both boys and girls including the fifth and sixth grade intra-mural basketball program, band program in grades 5-12, field trips, teacher aides, and the other extra curricular program. , With a total of 22.3 mills for operational purposes this school year the school district has one of the lowest incomes per student in the State Michigan. The state average this school year for operational millage levy is just under twenty-eight mills. General state aid proposal for the next school year would pay full state aid up to a maximum of thirty mills. Under the Gover­ nor’s proposal for next year the school district would have a combined state-local income of approximately $165,360 based upon the two mill proposal. Approximately $107,484 of this amount would be received in state aid and $57,876 through local income.

Want to get a good, painful, blistering sunburn? It’s easy. Just stay out in the sun in your shorts or swim suit all day on the first truly hot, sunny day of the summer season. You’ll get your burn. Or, do you want to begin picking up a summer tan Without burning? That’s easy, too. Just follow the simple rules of the American'' Medical Association: 15 to 20 minutes exposure the first day; 20 to 25 minutes the second day; 25 to 30 minutes the third day; 30 to 35 minutes the*fourth day. Thereafter base exposure time on the degree of redness and ten­ derness of your skin. The shorter Ay National Guard Airman Gary R. Belcher, son of Mrs. Madelene M. Donald of Rt. 2 Nashville Hwy., Vermontville, has graduated at Lackland AFB , Tex., from Air Force basic training. The airman studied the Air Force mission, organization and customs and received special instruction in human relations. Completion of this training earned the individual credits towards an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force. Airman Belcher now goes to Chanute AFB, Ill., for specialized training in the metalworking field. The airman is a 1970 graduate of Maple Valley Junior and Senior High School. His wife, Deborah, is the daughter of Edward J. Behmdt of Rt. 2 Cloverdale Road, Nashville, Mich. 4 I / recently visited the Indonesian port of Surabaya, where his ship hosted the U.S. ambassador to Indonesia, and more than 600 official civilian and military guests. Additionally, some of the Morton’s crewmembers volunteered to repair and paint a local school, while others ex­ changed visits with Indonesian sailors,. His ship is 418 feet in length, displaces.4,050 tons fully loaded and carries a crew of 304 officers and enlisted men. She is primarily equipped for sub­ marine operations and is out­ fitted with guns, torpedo tubes and an antisubmarine rocket launcher. • A 1975 graduate of Bellevue High School, he joined the Navy in January 1976. Navy Electrician’s Mate Fireman Apprentice James W. Gardner Jr., son of Marjorie J. Gardner of 22618 Junction, Bellevue, is currently on an extended deployment in the Western Pacific. He is serving as a crewmember aboard the destroyer USS Morton, homeported in Pearl Harbor, His ship is currently operating as a unit of the U.S. Seventh Fleet. He and his fellow shipmates exposures are for those with light skin; the longer times are for darker skin. . ' : Remember this about tanningit can’t be rushed. Trying to rush it will only result in a burn. The burned skin will peel, leaving you pale and pink again. Of course, the AMA also points out that there is no health value in tanning. In fact, it contributes to early aging, and wrinkling of the kin, and to proliferation of skin cancer. But, if you insist on a tan, start slow and build up gradually. Consider the time of day for your suntanning. The sun’s rays are most potent between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., standard time. You won’t get much tan before 8 a.m. or after 4 p.m., standard time. Don’t forget that you can burn on cloudy days, on the water, and at high altitudes altitudes. Suntan lotion can be helpful in | preventing a burn and promoting a tan. The lotions contain a chemical sun screen that absorbs some of the rays, while letting others through. They also contain a lubricant to keep the skin from drying out too quickly. Suntan lotions must be reapplied at least once every two hours, and • whenever the film may have worn off or washed off. ointments, wet If you burn compresses and soothing lotions will help the discomfort. A bland cold cream or a lightweight ifrinerai oil may be applied to the skin. IP the pain is excessive or if extensive blistering is present, Kim Zemke and George Owen lead their classmates from consult your physician. the gym.

Michigan, Wednesday,*J une 8.1977 Planting conditions ideal, but soil dry w c w I S {j i Sr Warm, dry weather has been ideal for planting operations, but farmers would still welcome rain as conditions are very dry throughout the State, according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. Moisture was reported short by 90 percent of the respondents. Michigan averaged less than one-half of rain in most areas during the week ending Saturday, May 21. As a farmer in Monroe County stated, “Need rain bad as these 90 degree temperatures and 30 mile an hour winds are drying things out fast.” Crops arejsuffering as wilting is occurring and plant growth is very slow. Some growers are holding up plantings due to the dryness. Plowing for spring planted crops is nearing completion as about 95 percent is plowed, coinpared to 80 percent in 1976 and 75 percent in the average year. With ideal weather, far­ mers averaged over 6 days suitable for field work. ' CORN: Planting progressed towards completion this week and is 90 percent planted com­ pared to 55 percent a year ago and 50 percent normally. Much of the corn is up, but additional moisture is ur ently needed for good germination, plant growth, and more effective use of fer­ tilizers and herbicides. As one mid-Michigan grower said, A good, all night rain, right at this time, would sure help my com. SMALL GRAINS: Winter wheat may not continue to develop properly unless a measurable amount of rain comes in the very near future. Generally, wheat looks fairly good and is starting to head out in some areas. Oats planting is complete, with the exception of a few smaller areas in the northern section of the State. This compares with 95 percent last year and 90 percent in the average -4 Don t forget Father's Day June 19, SHOP LOCALLY year. In general, the crop looks good. Herbicide residue damage is showing up on some plantings. POTATOES AND SUGAR­ BEETS: With ideal weather, potato planting advanced rapidly and is close to 80 percent complete in Michigan. This compares with 60 percent in 1976 and close to 55 percent in the average year. Potatoes are emerging nicely and stands appear good. Growers are irrigating heavily with the moisture shortage. Dry weather is taking it’s toll on sugarbeet plantings as ger­ mination is poor and growth is at a standstill. Many acres have been replanted due to adverse weather conditions. DRY SOYBEANS AND BEANS: Soybeans at 45 percent planted compared to 10 percent both last year and normally. Soybean and dry bean plantings are held up due to very dry soils. Some early planted soybeans have emerged and appear good. Only a few fields of dry bean^ ~ have been seeded. HAY: Farmers in the southern part of Lower Michigan are busy cutting hay for baling and silage, along with the usual green chopping for immediate livestock feed. Alfalfa weevil and cereal leaf beetle are numerous and active in many localities. Pasture feed supplies are mostly short. FRUITS AND VEGETABLES: Fruit development in the Grand Traverse area for sweet and tart cherries and pears has advanced to the shuck split stage. Plums are at petal fall and apples full bloom to petal fall. Moisture is very short in all fruit producing areas and could hurt fruit size if dry conditions persist Picking of asparagus is moving^ ahead of last year’s pace as almost 60 percent of the harvest is complete compared to 25 percent in 1976 and the average year. Production and quality are above average. Vegetable planting is continuing at a rapid pace. The hot, dry weather is not ideal for setting out transplants. • To the People of ~ 7 Maple Valley School District On Monday, June 13, there will be an election of School Board Positions, there will be two openings, and I am running for one of the positions.

Try presenting that standard gift with a little ima gi na ti on... Dad will ap­ preciate it and you’ll enjoy giving him something a little different. For instance, a wardrobe of socks can seem more exciting when it comes packed in a new fishing creel, and Dad will ap­ preciate the new creel as well. That new briefcase will be doubly welcome if it comes filled with Dad’s favorite kind of paperbacks, and a collection of his favorite wines will really make a hit whep you include the wine rack as well. A travel bag would be ap­ preciated by the Dad-on-the-go, especially when it’s packed with toiletries. Wrap that new terrycloth robe around a box of his favorite cigars-or pipe tobacco for a gift that says “Relax, Dad!” If you’ve already picked out some nice new ties for Dad, have them boxed separately and then tie them all together with a nifty new belt. Wrap those new swim trunks in a big beach towel with £ comical design to get a grin from Dad on his day. Wrap that subscription to his favorite magazine around a can of tennis balls, if Dad’s a tennis buff. Arrange a selection of scarves for Dad, flower-like, in a fancy coffee cup with his name on.it or an appropriate title. Roll that gift umbrella up in Rollthatgiftumbrellaupina colorful poster Dad can hang up in his office or den. Add an extra something to that shirt gift by putting it in a handy tote|Bh that I Dad MclaBn use for the beach or travel . French-cut and European-fit shirts are popular, and if Dad hasn’t lost his youthful figure, you may want to show him a few of these tapered styles. They fit snuggly in the shoulders and around the chest, and they’re cut narrower from the bottom of the armhole to the waist There are a variety of collars available on the market todday. Banded collars - those with a strip of fabric without wings may be a little too avant garde for your Dad. More traditional are the button-down collar, in which the points are attached to the body of the shirt with small buttons; the French collar, with short, slightly rounded points and a wide spread between them; the long-point collar, with long narrow wings and a small spread; the tab collar, in which points are held in place by small tabs which fasten together; and the stay collar with small strips of plastic inserted in the wings to help keep the collar in shape. Cuffs may be barrel or French. Dad is probably at home with the former - the basic buttoned cuff with one or more buttonholes. French cuffs are twice the length of the barrel style and they fold back and fasten with cuff links. Casual shirts have seen more loosening up than ever in recent years, and if Dad hasn’t been shopping in a while, he’ll find he Jias many more options in this area. The body shirt is one choice. It hugs the figure and follows the contours of the chest. Then there’s the. “big shirt” a full, loose shirt that can be worn over other shirts for a layered lode. The cossack shirt is actually one version of the big shirt - a full shirt with a high banded collar and a placket on one side that buttons or snaps closed. |1 l■r |/ I terstate highways. -Auto Club members can obtain weekend campsite information Monday through Saturday bet­ ween 6 a.m.- and midnight from Memorial Day through Labor Day weekend by calling the Travel organization’s In­ formation Center —If without a reservation, always choose, several alternate campgrounds and carry public and private park guides. I I I I . Dad's look for Father's Day '77 Pop’s favorite 1950s shirt and tie are smarting to look a little shabby, and you want to help him update his look. You’ve decided to take him shopping, to give him a glimpse of what has happened in the fashion world in the last 20 years, maybe even convince him surrender his tired old imageanc| select a shirt or tie with a little pizzaz. _ ;. v You should be prepared for some of the styles and terminology you’re likely to come across. x ' Traditionally, men’s shirts fall into two categories: dress shirts and sport shirts. The difference amounts to little more than sizing. Dress shirts are •IIught by neck sizes and sleeve length; sport shirts are labeled small, medium, large, extra-large. I1 i Then there are the polo shirts cotton knit shirts with pointed collars, 3-button plackets and hort sleeves; the pullover shirts with rounded necklines and 3button plackets; the Western shirts with contrasting yokes in front and back. If Dad plans on a tie or scarf to go with his shirt, he has an in* credible variety of styles to choose from here, too. The fourin-hand is perhaps the^ most familiar; the term refers to the knot, which is smooth and flat. The boater tie is a four-in-hand style with an extra-large knot; it’s usually shorter than average and has square-cut ends. Should Dad decide on a Western shirt, he may be in­ terested in the bolqjie - which is made of a thin cord held by a metab slide; or the string tie - a narrow black tie worn in a bow, associated with the Old West and the South. . /... - . r The bow tie goes in and out of vogue, but -it’s probably wellknown to Dad. It’s a narrow tie with square or shaped ends that is worn in a bow under the chin. If your Dad is an un­ conventional dresser, you may want to suggest and ascot It’s a wide tie or scarf worn looped over, with the ends diagonally crossed. It is usually held in place with a stickpin. In scarves, there is the cravat a folded scarf that drapes around the neck and tucks inside a shirt; the apache scarf - a small square or triangular kerchief worn knotted or pulled through a slide, in place of a tie; and the ban­ danna - a large square piece of cotton in red or blue with a distinctive design, first worn in the 19th century. All these “in” lodes can help Dad look dapper on his day.

Noshville. Michigan. Wednesday June 15 - Page 2 Rains bring relief to crops Early week rains in many sections of the State temporarily relieved dry conditions in those more fortunate areas. However, soil moisture remains short in nearly all localities, according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. As a Lapeer County farmer said, “We got some rain, but could stand a lot more.” This is echoed by farmers throughout Michigan. Dry bean growers have been holding up planting areas that received rain. Frost was reported in several areas of the State on June 3. Damage is unknown, but considered light, although corn on much soils in the southeast was replanted because of it. Michigan farmers averaged slightly over 5 days suitable to carry out their farm activities.

CORN: Early planted corn looks good-however, corn seeded later in dry soils germinated poorly and appears spotty with poor uniformity. Some corn has been replanted. Virtually all of Michigan’s com is in the ground compared to 90 percent last planting season and 85 percent normally. Nitrogen is being applied to com in the Thumb area. Recent, rains should im­ prove germination. SMALL GRAINS: Wheat is 85 percent headed compared to 40 percent last year ’and near 15 percent normally. However, dry weather has taken it’s toll on the crop as some of the poor fields were plowed under and seeded to other crops, while others were cut for silage. It is not uncommon to see wheat headed out with stalks below a foot in height. Early planted oats in the southern counties is in the boot stage with heights ranging to 18 inches. Statewide, only 3 percent is headed compared to 1 percent in 1976 and zero normally. POTATOES & SUGARBEETS: Cultivating, weeding and spraying are the main activities of potato growers at this time of year. Planting is virtually complete with over 95 percent in the ground, compared to 80 percent last year and near 85 percent in the average year. Because of early week rains, sugarbeets insthe Thumb area are doing much better as ger­ mination and growth have im­ proved. DRY BEANS & SOYBEANS: In areas that received rain, dry bean planting resumed at a rapid WIKING Remember Dad pace. Dry bean planting is past the 15 percent completion mark and is well ahead of the 10 per­ cent pace for both last year and average. Planting should be at full swing the next several weeks. About 90 percent of the soybeans are seeded, compared to last year’s 60 percent and over 50 percent for the average year. HAY: Dry weather conditions •and the alfalfa weevil have reduced first crop hay yields in Michigan. Where hay making operations are . underway, 30 percent of the crop is harvested compared to the average of less than 5 percent. Pasture feed supplies are short over the State. FRUITS & VEGETABLES: Strawberry picking is in full swing in the southwest area and is about 10 days earlier than last year. Near 10 percent is picked compared to zero percent last year and 2 percent normally. A Berien County grower stated, v “This is the first time I ever picked strawberries for the market before Memorial Day.” Quality and production are reported good. The asparagus harvest is in it’s final stages as approximately 10 percent remains to be picked compared to 35 percent remaining both in 1976 and normally. The set of most fruits is light to average and varies with the type of fruit and the locality. Vegetable development is slightly below average for most vegetables.' Cucumber planting for pickles in the West Central Region is un­ derway.

To the Editor: Congressman Brown was sent a message last November by the 3rd district voters that he has chosen to ignore. We let him know that we were fectup with the waste of throwaway containers. In Barry County, 58 percent of the voters supported returnables by voting “Yes” on Proposal A. Now, there is a national bottle bill (Hatfield-Jeffords bill) in Congress. The people of Michigan became leaders in the campaign for a national bottle bill. Our Congressman Garry Brown would have us wait years for a consistent national policy. In a response to an inquiry on the national bottle bill he stated “I also am hesitant to pre-empt the right of each state to decide for itself what type of method it wishes to employ to handle the problem (of throw-aways).” Congressman Brown is failing to live up to his responsibility as our representative in Washington. Just as the Michigan legislature passed the buck and forced the people of Michigan to enact the law themselves, Congressman Brown in passing the buck. It is thne for Garry Brown to represent his con­ stituents by taking the lead in actively supporting national returnable bottle legislation. He should join in co-sponsoring the bill so that it will finally get the attention that it deserves. We voted for returnables last fall and expect Congressman Brown to do the same. Our votes last November were not enough to convince Congressman Brown. We must let him know that we will not stand for any more delay on a national bottle bill. Michigan has a returnable bottle law because of citizen action. We can persuade Congressman Brown to co-sponsor the bill if we make ourselves heard. Call Congressman Brown’s Battle Creek office-962-1551 or better yet, write to him in Washington. Don’t be complacent merely because Michigan has passed a bottle bill. If it made sense for us, it makes more sense for the entire country!

Barry County did a $6,380,000 business in 1975, over one third of the total agriculture business in the county. Three-quarters of the farms do over $2,500 annually. Contrary to the old saying,, 1 ostriches never bury their heads in the sand when frightened or at any other time. The Monitor never fought the Merrimack. It fought the Confederate iron-clad Virginia. The two are confused because part of the wrecked Union ship Merrimack was used to build the Virginia. And contrary to what some people think, milk does not have very much fat in it at all.

The IRS cautioned taxpayers that this change is effective for tax year 1977 and should not be reflected on returns being prepared now for 1976. Under the new law, if the ad­ justed sales price is more than $35,000, the tax break is prorated. In prior years, the full tax break could be taken only if the adjusted sales price was $20,000 dr less. The adjusted sales price is the amount that the seller receives after paying selling commissions dnd certain allowable fix-up expenses, the IRS explained. The IRS said that to qualify for the exclusion, as in the past, taxpayers must: -have been at least 65 before the sale of the home; -havQ owned and used the property as their principal residence for at least five years (continuously or with interruptions) within an eight-year period ending on the date of sale; -never have used the tax ex­ clusion before (it may be used only once in the taxpayer’s lifetime). Information on the sale of a home by older Americans is available free from the IRS in Publication 523, “Tax In­ formation on Selling or Pur­ chasing Your Home,” and Publication 554, “Tax Benefits for Older Americans.” These and a number of other handy IRS publications may be obtained -by filling out the order blank in the 1040 or 1040A tax packages sent to taxpayers by the IRS.

Anglers are also having good luck with Walleyes in_ the weed beds; Northerns up to 8 lbs. on spoons and larger minnows, and Smallmouth bass up to 4 lbs. on night crawlers and minnows.

CHILD PORN - Soon to be voted on in the House is HB 4332, which would outlaw the production and distribution of child pornography in Michigan, and would crack down on adults involved in child prostitution; these would be felonies. INTEREST DELAY - The Senate is now considering HB 4761, which would forbid retail merchants from charging interest bn credit purchases until goods or services are delivered to the buyer. This would apply to both store accounts and credit Obituaries Verna A. Viele Vermontville - Mrs. Vera A. Viele, 51, of rural Vermontville, died Thursday, June 9,1977 at her home. Mrs. Viele was born on Sept. 30, 1925 in Roxand Township, Eaton County, and was one of a set of twins born to Edward and Lula Vedder. Mrs. Viele was a member of the Vermontville United Methodist Church and the WSCS. Mrs. Viele is survived by her husband, John; two daughters, Mrs. Debbie Willfams of Ver­ montville and Linda at home; one son, Kendall at home; one grandson; four sisters, Mrs. Velma Marsh, Mrs. Doris Feasal,. and Mrs. Letha Bentley, all of Mulliken, and Mrs. Eva Smith of Charlotte; five brothers, Loid and Ward Vedder, both of Mulliken and Lyle, Harding and Keith Vedder, all of Charlotte. Funeral services were held at 2 p.m. Saturday, June 11, 1977, at Barker-Leik Funeral Home, Mulliken, with Rev. Gerald Salisbury officiating. Burial was in Freemire Cemetery. cards. DRINKING AGE - Senate Bills 31 & 32, which would raise .the legal drinking age in Michigan to 19, are now in the House Civil Rights Committee. Governor Milliken has announced his support for these. However, a church-supported council on alcohol problems has announced a petition drive aimed at raising the age to 21; this question would be on the 1978 ballot. MESC BOARD - The House has approved HB 4538, which would replace the present Employment Security Appeals Board with an enlarged board of review next year. The 3-member ESAB now has one vacancy and a backlog of unemployment compensation claims. The new board would have— five members: two representing employees, two representing employers, one public member. ARMS DECISION The Michigan Supreme Court has disallowed a 1972 law which bars prison inmates from possessing weapons. The court said the ban was passed as an amendment to another bill; this missed the constitutional requirement that a bill’s purpose be in its title. HOT PURSUIT - Now in the Senate is HB 4147, which would allow a peace officer in hot pursuit of someone who has committed, or is suspected of having committed, a felony or misdemeanor, to pursue that person outside the immediate jurisdiction (such as a county) to make an arrest. RACE COMMISSIONS The Governor is now considering SB 402, which would raise the commission that most horse racing tracks earn on multiple betting. Also, it would outlaw placing bets at the • track by people . who asked others, not there, for a fee to do so. TURKEY LICENSE - A small game license will no longer be enough to hunt turkeys if the Governor signs SB 414. Turkey licenses would be $5 for residents, $1 for seniprs, $20 to non­ residents; thdy would be given out by a lottery and valid for one year. Nature from your back doo rBy Glen R. Dudderar MSU Extension Wildlife Specialist GIVE THEM A DRINK Normally, regional rainfall patterns would reduce the advantages for providing local birds water water sources, but our current dry weather changes that. Adequate water sources are especially important for nesting birds and those having territories in your yard. It could be about the same significance as your , winter feeding station, enjoyable for you and helpful, perhaps important, for the birds.. Like the feeding station, the setup can be as simple or elaborate as you wish. Whichever you prefer, you’re going to be amazed at the response. I constructed a very simple dispensing system because it didn’t cost anything, my kids could get involved, but mostly because it is easy to maintain. When I finished, it wasn’t more than an hour before we saw robins, sparrows, blackbirds, grackles, a catbird and oriole scrambling for the water — it’s that dry here. Tn fact, my wife sprayed a coarse spray over the watering units with a-garden hose and the robins literally ran in and out of it. Any water you provide should be no more than two inches deep. If it is more than that, birds are apt to drown, especially the young, or they simply won’t use it, especially if the water is hard to reach from the sides. I suggest you have two types of waterers: one on a 2 to 3-foot pedestal near a bush or small tree, another on the ground, but away from ambush cover where cats and dogs could hide un­ detected. You can use old pie tins, cake trays, cut the bottom off a plastic gallon container, or use some other shallow con­ tainer. A friend of mine uses two old garbage lids. Make sure there is a surface which the birds can grip when they come to drink or bathe - a piece of broken concrete, flat stones, cluster of pebbles or small block of. heavy wood, placed in the water. If you really want to turn the birds on, suspend a gallon jug of water s,everal feet above the bath. Poke a hole in the bottom of the jug with a sewing needle so te the water slowly drips into the bath.. Refill when empty. Darippp .ping g water is very at­ tractive. In this respect you can arrange a variety of drip pat­ terns, erns, smpe simple or ea elaborate, ora e, too provide the effect of a continual fprerosvh weateer source. Cean the Clean e containers con a ners regularly, r keeping them free off gungus, algae and possible mosquito infestation. Otherwise you wind up w with jus just a sagn stagnant hole the birds won’t frequent. This is the beauty of keeping the.watering e.wa erng source as simple smpe as possible - it is easy to maintain available food source for the birds. Additional ideas for providing birds water sources can be ob­ tained from a reprint that ap­ peared in a recent National Wildlife magazine issue.

PLANT MI MS AFTER FROST For blooming chrysan­ themums this fall, plant rooted cuttings or plants in late May or June Michigan State University bortwult unsts advise choosing a well drained site that gets full sun A light soil nch in organic matter is best Fertilize before planting and again around August 1 Pinch plants to make them grow full and bush) Remove one half inch of each growing tip every time the stem has grown three or four pairs of new leaves Stop pinching early bloomers around July 15 and late bloomers August 1 DON’T BUY DISEASE PROBLEMS Try not to buy problems when you buy transplants Check both vegetable and flower seedlings for signs of disease or prior health before you buy them. Buy disease-resistant varieties whenever possible, the experts suggest The organisms that cause fusarium and verticilhum w ilt in tomatoes, for instance, are almost impossible to avoid The only way to prevent the disease is to use resistant varieties REPOT PLANTS A slowdown in leaf and stem growth, the need for frequent watering, and roots growing on the soil surface or out of the drainage hole are signs that your houseplants need repotting Michigan State University horticulturists advise carefully tipping the plant out of the pot to check. A solid mass of roots with little or no soil visible indicates the plant need repotting Use a container about two inches deeper and wider than the old one BIGGEST NOT ALWAYS BEST The biggest transplants are not always the best bargain Older, larger plants take longer to recover from the shock of transplanting than younger, smaller plants. A plant that already has flowers and fruits may not be the best choice, either. It cannot channel its energies into developing a good root system if it’s trying to produce fruit or flowers. And without a good root system, the plant will not thrive and produce well later. PROTECT INDOOR PLANTS OUTDOORS If you put your houseplants outdoors for the summer, choose your spot carefully Put plants where they will be protected from the wind and shielded from direct sunlight. Check them frequently and water as needed Conti >1 insect problems as they appear to avoid taking the pests indoors ir the fall. LABEL GARDEN ROW’S Use labels to take some of the guesswork out of gardening. Michigan State University horticulturists advise against trying to keep all those names and varieties in your head. Chart your garden on paper and label your rows so you know what you're looking at. KEEP GARDEN RECORDS Trying out a new vegetable variety this year? Keep records of planting dates, yields, problems and other important information. They will come in very handy when you’re trying to evaluate the variety and decide whether you should plant it again. LET BULBS GROW Leave the foliage on spring bulbs until they turn brown. The foliage produces food needed to build up the bulbs for next year’s flowers. Remove flower stalks when the blossoms begin to fade. Maturing flowers and producing seeds require energy that could go into building up the bulb. FERTILIZE ROSES Fertilize roses in May with a complete garden fertilizer. One heaping tablespoon of fertilizer per plant should get your roses off to a good start. SPRAY ROSES Michigan State University horticulturists remind rose growers to begin spraying their plants as soon as new growth begins, to protect them against black spot and other diseases and destructive insect. WET GARDEN: KEEP OUT! Stay out of the garden when the soil and plants are wet. Wet soil, especially wet clay soil, is difficult to work because it sticks to tools and feet. It is also easily compacted that is, crushed together so that air is driven out of it. Working in the garden when plant foliage is wet is a good way to spread plant diseases. Bac­ teria and viruses can be carried MOW from one plant to another on hands, clothes and tools. If plant foliage is wet, these disease organisms can very quickly invade and infect plant tissues.

Wednesday June 15 -- Page 9 Feasting ‘round the grill’ makes your Father’s Day great! Remember dad’s day Let everybody relax on Father’s Day this year with a feast around the barbecue. A marinaded roast takes a minimal amount of time and attention when it’s rotated on a rotisserie and will give Dad a Father’s Day he’ll never forget. Almost any cut of meat can be enjoyed, from a money-saving chuck roast to an elegant standing rib, providing it is properly selected and prepared. The Secret to a perfectly cooked roast on the spit is a good rotisserie grill. The hooded wagon grills require the least amount of time and attention. With the hood closed, the meat is surrounded with radiant heat that cooks to perfection. Just place the roast on the spit, close the hood and let the charcoal briquets do the rest. Cooking on the rotisserie is not that much different from a regular charcoal barbecue, but it must be done over a hotwire, so be sure to build a proper fire. First, line the bottom of the grill with a drip pan made from heavy-duty aluminum foil. This will not only help protect the grill and make clean-up easier, but will also, reflect the heat for a hotter fire. Then, stack the briquets in a pyramid for good ventilation. Be sure to use enough briquets. A 4-6 pound roast will take at, least 5 pounds of charcoal. Use an electric or liquid starter or try one of the new individually wrapped packets of solid fuel to start the fire. If liquid is used, be sure to let the starter soak into the briquets for a minute so the flames will penetrate the briquets. Allow about 30 minutes before cooking for the briquets to turn a light gray ash color by day and glowing by night. Just before cooking, spread the coals to extend an inch beyond food. For the rotisserie, meat selection is important. Know how many people you plan to serve choose a large enough, wellgraded roast that’s uniform in shape and well marbled. The uniform shape allows the roast to rotate evenly and will prevent uneven cooking. Push the spit lengthwise through the center of the roast, and fasten both ends with holding forks; The use of a meat thermometer is advised Pantry Seafood Casserole when rotissing because cooking times vary with the weather temperature, and. types of briquets used. After placing the meat on the rotisserie rod, push the meat thermometer into the thickest part of roast, avoiding any bones and the rod. Remove roast from grill when ther­ mometer registers 5 degrees below the desired degree of doneness. Remove from spit and allow to stand for 10 to 15 minutes. In this time, the roast' will continue to cook and reach the desired degree and will become firm enough to slice easily. Marinaded meats are delicious on the spit. Marinate the roast for at least 1 hour,?but overnight is best for less expensive cuts of meat; Basting depends on the recipe, but a good rule of thumb is: baste every 30minutes during cooking. For a smoked flavor, spinkle hickory chips or the new hickory-flavored briquets into the briquets. While the meat is turning on the spit, why not take advantage of the hot fire and roast some stuffed peper boats on the grill, too! The charcoal flavor will season them with a deliciously different taste. Follow directions for the stuffing and wrap each pepper across the bottom with heavy-duty aluminum foil to prevent burning. And for a real mansized treat - brown a sour rye bread on the grill and flavor with a melted herb butter. Grilled Beef Provencale For marinade: In large bowl mix well, P/2 cups vegetable juice cocktail, 3.i cups Italian salad dressing, 1 medium onion finely chopped.i 1 teaspoon curry powder .and Vz teaspoon salt. Add to marinade one 6-pound boneless top round toast beef of uniform shape and size; turn to coat well. Let stand at room temperature 2 hours, turning meat occasionally. Drain meat, reserving marinade. Sprinkle meat with unseasoned instant meat tenderizer as lable directs. Spear meat onto .rotisserie. Place meat over hot coals for medium (see note) and grill as directed until desired doneness - about 2*2 to 3 hours. Brush meat with marinade every 30 minutes during grilling. ★ For optimum results, use o meat thermometer and remove roast when temperature reaches 5 degrees below desired doneness. Grilling times may vary according to amount of coals used, weather con­ ditions and type of grill. Action Ads PORCH & YARD SALE. Thurs. & Fri.

Local officials protest County exclusion from public works programsIt was announced late last week that Barry County would not receive any federal funds under the latest allocations indicated by the Economic Development Administration. Over $4 million had been requested from several local units of government. Since that time at least three public officials have gone on record with protests and requests for reconsideration. In a letter to Michigan’s two Senators in Washington, and to Congressmen representing this district, Russell Bender, chairman of the County Board of Commissioners, has asked for their intercession. He pointed out the high unemployment rate within the county and the need for certain public works projects. Kensinger Jones, chairman of the county’s Economic Development Planning Com­ mittee, addressed a definitive letter to Juanita Kreps, Secretary of Commerce. The Economic Development Ad­ ministration reports to her. In it ' he pointed out that adjacent counties with lower unem­ ployment rates have received substantial allocations and has asked for a review. “When you’re a small, rural county,” Jones’ letter concludes, “surrounded by cities like Battle Creek, Kalamazoo, Grand * Rapids and Lansing, it’s easy to be overlooked. We assume that is what happened. A simple reexamination of the facts will, we believe, indicate our eligibility and our needs. “Can you please help us?” T. Edward McPharlin, a county commissioner and also chairman of , the Southcentral Michigan Planning Council has already contacted, by telephone, the offices of U.S. Senators and Congressmen, askipg for another look at the Barry County situation. He urges public action. “Private citizens should contact their senators and representatives by telegram, letter or telephone,” McPharlin says. “There’s no question about the fact tha,t an economic in­ justice has occurred and it should be .protested. Barry County should participate in this federal program for county im- First Eddie Purchis provements and employment through constructive works. Simply write and ask why your county has been overlooked, in the new allocations of Local Public Works money being expended through the Economic Development Administration.” Letter» should be addressed to Senators Robert Griffin and Donald Riegle, Senate Office Building, Washington, D.C. and to Hon. Gary Brown and Harold Sawyer, House Office Bldg., Washington, D.C. Turn your kitchen into a frozen yogurt factory!

Riegle Measure to Save Michigan's Share of Federal Water Dollars Senator Donald W. Riegle, Jr. (D-MI) will introduce legislation this week Which would save the state of Michigan from losing up to $300 million in construction money for water pollution treatment plants. Riegle’s bill would allow states an additional year to obligate their share of $9 billion in con­ struction funds, by extending the current deadline to Sept. 30,1978. Under the current law, Michigan must obligate its share of the funds by Sept. 30, 1977, or its money will be reallojcated to other states. Michigan stands to lose $200 to $300 million in con­ struction money, and state of­ ficials predict that the state will not be able to meet the Sep­ tember deadline. “This huge backlog of I unobligated funds has been caused by a number of factors outside the states’ control, in­ cluding President Nixon’s impoundment bf the money, and the sheet complexity of the water pollution control program,” Senator Riegle said. The 1972 Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments authorized $18 billion to provide 75 percent of the funding for the construction of sewage treatment plants .However, thenPresident Richard Nixon im­ pounded $9 billion, which was not released to the states until a court order in February, 1975. In addition to the impoundment and then sudden release of this massive amount of money, Riegle explained, the treatment works construction grants program was already behind schedule in 1975 because of delays in issuing final regulations for the program, and progress was further complicated by a lack of adequate staffipg at the Environmental Protection Agency. Although both the Senate and House passed legislation this year to extend the deadline to 1978 as part of the Public Works Jobs Bill, disagreements over-the controversial House Water Pollution Amendments held up the Public Works Conference Committee for over a month. Eventually, it was decided to drop all water pollution provisions from the conference report - leaving the 1977 deadline intact. “There is general consensus that .the 1977 deadline should be extended to 1978. In addition to helping those states that would otherwise lose money, an ex­ tension would allow states to obligate funds in a cost-effective manner, instead of rushing lowpriority projects forward, just to meet the deadline,” Riegle said. Riegle said his bill essentially represents an interim agreement, to extend the ‘ deadline one year, while the House and the Senate resolve other parts of the water pollution control provisions. According to the EPA, eight states - including Michigan - will need the one year extension, or lose a total of $818 million. Other states affected by the Riegle bill are New York, Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, Penn­ sylvania, the District of Columbia, and South Carolina. Senator Riegle’s bill, to be introduced t..is week, . is cosponsored by Senators Robert Griffin (R-MI), Jacob Javits (RNY), Richard Lugar (R-Ind), Russell Long (D-LA), Charles Mathias (R-MD), ?nd Abraham Ribicoff (D-Conn).

A gardener or homeowner without bug problems! Entomologists at Michigan State University provide a thumbnail sketch of some insects that homeowners are likely to en­ counter in June. STRIPED CUCUMBER BEETLE Striped cucumber beetles aren't very big - about 5-16 inch long — but their presence in the garden spells trouble several different ways. This pest of cucumbers, musk­ melon, watermelon and winter squash overwinters as an adult in woodlots and garden debris. Adults emerge in May and lay eggs in late May and June. The larvae damage plants by chewing on the roots. If damage is severe, whole plants may die. The adult beetles feed on the aboveground plant parts. As they feed, they may transmit bacterial wilt of cucumbers and mosaic virus, two devastating plant diseases. Prevention is the only cure, so the MSU experts advise checking the garden daily for these pests. Inspect plant stems and the undersides of the leaves for oblong yellow beetles with three black stripes running down their backs. Treat with malathion, diaxinon, Sevin or rotenone applied according to label directions. Unless you live near a woodlot, you can minimize the cucumber beetle problem in next year’s garden with good sanitation. Remove dead plant material anti other debris in the fall so the beetles have no winter shelter. If you do live near woods, you’re probably going o have the beetle no matter what you do. Checking the garden frequently and spraying at the first sign of an invasion is vour best hope. ELM LEAF BEETLE Your best chance to control the elm leaf beetle is the first couple weeks in June. Siberian and Chinese elms are the special favorites of this pest, so check them closely. Look for small to 3h inch long -- olive drab beetles with a black stripe down the outer edge of each wing.

In­ dividuals who wish to determine the effect of any law upon their private legal affairs should consult a private attorney.) The criminal use of false identification has become a problem of crisis proportions, costing the citizens of Michigan millions of dollars annually. A growing number of criminals and organized crime figures are using false credentials to commit or aid in the commitment of such crimes as welfare fraud, illegal immigration, drug trafficking, passing bad checks, phony credit cards, and hundreds of other offenses. The" major problem surroun­ ding the use of false identification is that it is a “hidden crime” in that the victims are often not even aware of the fact that they have been victimized. In order to prevent the abuses of false identification, com­ prehensive federal, state, and local action must be coordinated to prevent such crimes. This action would include new federal and state legislation, an overhaul in the way in which certified copies of birth cer­ tificates and driver’s licenses are issued to prevent false ap­ plications for those documents, the matching of birth and death certificates to prevent criminals from assuming the names of deceased infants, uniform identification standards for welfare applicants, verification of a suspect’s identity before he is released on bond, and the in­ creased use of electronic fund transfer systems to prevent Cdntinued- forgery and counterfeiting. This comprehensive action will require time and study. But right now Michigan citizens can do several things to prevent criminals from taking advantage of false identification. Among those things are: -Carefully scrutinize cancelled checks and checking accounts to insure that the amount debited to an account is accurate and that the check was legitimately written on the account; -Carefully scrutinize credit card statements in the same manner; —Report lost or stolen credit cards immediately; -Report loss of stolen iden­ tification cards such as driver’s license, Social Security card or other identification to the government agency involved. False identification is a real problem. It shields criminals and hurts everyone because of higher prices that become necessary when merchants are victims of false identification.

Glass Show Set for Lansing Mall If you ever wondered how glass is made...how used glass bottles and jars are recycled to make new glass containers...how glass protects products...or what glass from the moon looks like, visit Lansing Mall, 5330 Saginaw La., on June 19-20 to find the answers. A live, 30-minute production, “The Glass Show...All About Nature's Marvelous Material,” focuses on glass from its discovery in Mesapotamia in 12,000 B.C. to its ability to make solar energy practical today. Demonstrations in the show include a furnace that makes glass from its raw materials sand, soda ash, limestone and reclaimed glass - in 30 seconds and an endless glass recycling machine that remelts and recycles glass. Amid flashing lights and ringing bells, the three-foot high recycling machine crushes glass, carries it in buckets, and deposits it into a 2,000 -Fahrenheit furniace where it is melted and recycled - continuously. A digital counter records the number of times the glass is recycled. The recycling machine demonstrates the importance of reclaimed glass in the manufacture of new glass con­ tainers, showing how the public can help save energy, conserve natural resources and reduce the solid waste load through recycling. Individuals and organizations also can earn money by recycling glass containers. Owens-Illinois, Inc., a major manufacturer of glass containers, pays the public $30 a ton for reclaimed glass jars and bottles. Locally, recycled glass containers can be returned to the Owens-Illinois plant in Charlotte. Sponsored by Owens-Illinois, the show is one element of the company’s Environmental Communications Program. “The Glass Show” will tour shopping malls, schools and other public places throughout the country. The show will be presented Sunday from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m. and on Monday from 10:00 to 9:00 p.m. There is no admission charge. Richard Scott Taylor They cheer when Jack Waters drives down the highway.

To the Editor... I am, writing this letter in response to a recent letter from one Gary Claxton regarding throwaway containers. Mr. Claxton’s letter takes Congressman Garry Brown to task because he refuses to sup­ port the Hatfield-Jeffords bill. While I have my differences with Congressman Brown at times, I must come to his defense on this matter. Mr. Claxton quoted Congressman Brown as follows: “I also am hesitant to pre-empt the right of each state to decide for itself what type of method it wishes to employ to handle the problem (of throwaways)”, congressman Brown is Irving up to his responsibility as our representative in Washington on this matter. His first respon­ sibility is to uphold the Con­ stitution of these United States. According to the tenth amend­ ment in the bill of rights states, “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” In other words the Federal government has no right to meddle in these affairs of the states, thank God for the wisdom of our founding fathers! The national planners (socialists) are the very ones who have brought this nation to the brink of disaster, with the energy scare, OSHA, EPA, etc. The issue is not if we should or should not have throwaways, the issue is really one of constitutionality. In the closing statement of the letter from Mr. Claxton he states, “If it makes sense for use, it makes more sense for the entire country!" This statement is typical of the thinking of egalitarian totalitarian dic­ tatorships, not that of Con­ stitutional Republics such as we enjoy in America. Support your congressman so long as he upholds the con­ stitution and on this issue Congressman Brown is correct We have enough Big Brother meddling in our lives resulting in higher taxes and less freedom. Let’s reverse the trend by trimming government and reducing taxes. Sincerely Edward J. Borner The Staff of ; . .

However, there are two mis­ conceptions that I would like to clear up. One, that cancer is di­ rectly inherited and two, that it is contagious. Both are untrue. Some cancers do affect some families more than others. Among the most common is breast cancer. There are also forms of cancer of the eye and of the colon, that develop in childhood, which affect cer­ tain families. However, these cancers aren’t passed on from one generation to an­ other in the same way as eye color is. Furthermore, cancer is not contagious. It is true that medical scientists have found viruses in human cancers. But these viruses are not like the ones that cause flu or the common cold. Cancer viruses need another agent to help start malignant growth. (For example, a chemical.) Clusters of cases in the same locality are not an epidemic; rather, these people likely were all ex­ posed to the same activating agent. lolhe ittt1® a lution. 000 Bates, Hales t”In deni it to like sdm On the road and feelin’ free Lettin’ my money work for me!

Bicyclists also benefit from the nearly 10,000 sidewalk ramps built alongMichigan’s state high­ way system in the last four years. Thousands more have been built into sidewalks along city and village streets and county roads in urban areas, and more are being built every year. All 67 freeway rest areas in Michigan also are equipped with ramps. Traditionally, sidewalks ter­ minated at the curb six to eight inches above the street. It was good for drainage but created an abrupt step that became an obstacle to wheelchairs, bicyclists and elderly people with limited mobility. In 1973, the State Legislature passed a law requiring sidewalk ramps sloped to street level on all new construction and in con­ junction with repairs to exsng existing roads and streets. The Department of State Highways and Transportation prepared plans for the ramps and distributed them to all cities and counties. With some exceptions, public reaction to the ramps is favorable. Typical is Judy Taylor, director of Programs for Handicappers at Michigan State University. “The ramps have opened up a whole new world of mobility for handicappers,” she says. “Before they were built, the curbings circling a city block might as well have been a wall for those of us who are confined to wheelchairs.” The sidewalk ramp law was one of the' first successes in Michigan of a coalition of organizations ranging from the National Association of the Physically Handicapped to the Paralyzed Veternas of America. They have also persuaded the Legislature to require ac­ commodations for the han­ dicapped on public transportation systems. Roxanna O'Connor, director of the Tri-County Office on Aging in central Michigan, says the ramps are a big help to elderly persons who must move with canes and walkers who have a physical disability that makes stepping off curbs difficult. Ramps are a mixed blessing for bicyclists, says Gregg Neff of Lansing, vice-president of the Indiana-Michigan League of American Wheelman. Ramps make it easier to cross streets and ride on sidewalks, but, because of this, many communities designate sidewalks as bike paths, discouraging bicyclists from riding in the street. With the exception of young children, Neff says, sidewalk riding is more dangerous than riding in the street. For the most part, Michigan’s more than 50,000 blind residents regard ramps as a disadvantage, particularly when snow falls. Curbings are a firm line of demarcation for those who are guided with- the aid of a white cane. Ronald Wilcox, supervisor of the Mobility Department at the Michigan School for the Blind, says variations in the degree of slope on the ramps, and, oc­ casionally, the design of ramps, also make them difficult to negotiate. “We’re'educating blind people to use of these ramps, just as sighted people are learning to drive with international symbol signs on the highways,” he said. Donald Merrill of Lansing, who walks with a white cane, sums up his attitude this way: “I don’t like ramps, but I guess it’s harder for the handicapped to live without them than for me to live'with them.” 77 cars cost 10 percent more to own and operate than 2 years ago PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS DIRECTORY LIMESTONE & MARL (Delivered and Spread) CRANEWORK • Drainage Ditches • Farm Ponds DARRELL HAMILTON Rt. 3, NASHVILLE PH. 852-9691 ST.

(ST7J 726-0088 Vermontville, Michigan The Michigan motorist who buys a 1977 car is getting significantly improved fuel economy but that new car is costing him 10.3 percent more to own and operate than a new model did two years ago, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. “It now costs state motorists 20.2 cents a mile to operate their cars compared to 18.3 cents per mile in 1975,” stated Auto Club Touring Manager Joseph Ratke. “For the motorist who drives 10,000 miles annually, his operating costs in 1977 will jump to $2,019, a rise of nearly $200 in two years,” he added. An auto driven 20,000 miles will cost its owner $2,779, or 13.9 cents per mile driven. The reason for the lower cents-per-mile figure at 20,000 miles is that fixed costs (insurance, depreciation and license fees) are basically the same as for 10,000 miles. Ratke cited increased fixed costs, particularly depreciation, as the major reason for the twoyear increase in operating costs. Fixed costs rose more than $250 from 1975 to 1977 while varied costs (gas, oil and maintenance) were down slightly. Figures on owning and operating an automobile are contained in the 1977 edition of the AAA pamphlet, “Your Driving Costs.” The' 20.2-cent figure is computed on 5.80 cents a mile for varied costs and 14.40 cents a mile for fixed costs. Date contained in the report is based on driving a 1977 intermediate-sized Chevrolet Chevelle, eight-cyclinder, 305cubic-inch, Malibu Classic, fourdoor sedan equipped with standard accessories, automatic transmission, power steering, power disc brakes and radio. Motorists can figure an ad­ ditional two-tenths of a cent per mile and 20 cents per day for air conditioning, according to the report. For financing in 1977, the owner should add a daily amount to match the value of the interest oyer the life of the loan. If, for example, the owner trades in a car, then borrows $3,000 at 10.5 percent interest for 48 months, the interest payment would be $687.36, or 47 cents a day. The recently released AAA booklet also compares operating costs for various-sized cars in both low-cost (rural) and highcost (urban) areas. For example, motorists driving in Michigan’s less populated areas will find the costs of owning and operating- an intermediate­ sized car 16.8 cents per mile, or 3.4 cents per miles less than drivers in such cities as Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids and Lansing. “For every 10 cents per gallon increase in gasoline prices, the per-mile-cost of running a car increases by one cent if the car delivers 10 miles per gallon or one-half cent if the car gets 20 miles per gallon," Ratke ex­ plained. The report also shows that vacation costs for two people have increased six percent since 1975. It now costs two persons traveling by car $58 daily as compared to $54 in 1975. Auto Club breaks down the daily travel budget as follows: $26 a day for meals (not including alcoholic beverages and tips), $27 a day for lodging and $5 for gas and oil every 100 miles of travel, with the car averaging 15 miles per gallon. Many lodging facilities have family plans with small charges for extra people in the room. The average is $3 per person, but may be less for children. Auto Club advises vacationers that the daily budget can vary by 30 percent depending on location. Summer Salad Entertain in style.

From June 11 through Sep­ tember 5, the Village takes on a special atmosphere; Horses clipclop down quiet lanes, their hoofbeats keeping rhythm with the smooth putter of the Model T’s they pass. On the lagoon, the steamboat “Suwanee” whistles in counterpoint to the wail of a century-old steam locomotive circling the Village periphery. Meanwhile, along the streets, in several locations, the Greenfield Village Players add an extra dimension to the fun by recreating the entertainments of yesteryear. From the Town Hall on the Village Green come the sounds of ragtime piano and laughter. Here, the Players stage “Town Hall Variety.” Alternating 30- minute shows feature songs, dances and comic sketches from two periods in American life: 1900-1919 and the ’20s and ’30s. At a nearby corner, the years roll back to 1770. On a buntingdraped platform Benjamin Franklin tugs at his lapels and talks of revolution with a Colonial lady. Around the comer,. the Players present a courtroom comedy skit from the 1880s. Titled “The Trial,” the presentation tells the story of a young lady who is suing a prospective employer for refusing her a job on the grounds that women can’t handle new­ fangled machines like typewriters. The spectators act as jury and the skit’s ending depends on their verdict. Just down the street near the Luther Burbank Birthplace, a cigar-smoking gentleman in a rumpled white suit leans back in his chair and spins yarns of Mississippi River life drawn from the writings of Mark Twain. Meartwhile, at the Stephen Foster birthplace, the words and music of that famous American near the Green, a dozen craft­ songwriter are brought to life smen practice the skills of long ago. Visitors may watch cloth again. Throughout the day, strolling woven, bread baked and brooms minstrels roam the Village made in the traditions of our streets to the strains of old-time ancestors. “Music for Everyone: 100 ballads and authentic American folk tunes. From time to time, Years of the Phonograph,” a they gather a crowd on the special exhibit on the Evolution of Village Green at the rear of a the phonograph, is presented in gaily-painted wagon for a the Village in the library of the medicine show.

Here, too, a century-old ice cream parlor originally located in Massachusetts now serves oldfashioned phosphates, and ice cream treats to Village visitors. Across the water, on Suwanee Island, a puppet stage has been set up for a Punch and Judy show. Visitors can reach' the Island by raft. In the Village Crafts Center, the motorcycle Lindy used while in college, his travel trailer and Franklin Airman Sedan and an exact duplicate of his plane, “The Spirit of St. Louis.” On July 2, the Museum’s Folk Art Gallery becomes the ap­ propriate setting for a major exhibition of folk art A general selection of items from the Museum’s extensive folk art collection, including paintings, pottery, tin utensils, toys, wood carvings, weather vanes and carved figures from maritime life, will be on display. Greenfield Village is open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily during the summer. Admission to the Village is $3.50 for adults and $1.50 for children 6 through 12. Museum hours are 8:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Admission to the Museum is $3.00 for adults and $1.25 for children 6 through 12. Children under six are admitted free. The last thing you need is another anoth lecture on how much good the 55 mph speed limit can do. What you need are the facts. Fact. If everybody slowed down to 55, we’d save as much as eight and a half million gallons of gasoline a day. Fact.' In 1975, 9400 fewer people were killed on our highways than in 1973, when speed limits were above 55. HOW TO CLEAR MUDDY PONDS PURINA CHECK-FLY & WORMER BLOCK. • Reduces cattle worm-egg production.

Railroad St., Hastings PH. 945-9926 [( I HEALTH | PRODUCTSjl WWW WWW You don’t have to own an enor­ mous estate in order to enjoy z the beauty of a reflecting pond in your garden. There is a pool for every size yard, ranging from a small fishpond dug by yourself to a man-made lake complete with water fowl. They can be cement-lined (the smaller ones usually require this) or mudbottomed. Our rural-dwelling friends are most apt to have large tree-lined ponds, simply because they have the space for them. Now many of you may have in desperation seriously considered digging up your less > than - perfe lawn and mak­ ing a lake of your yard, but I can assure you such drastic meas­ ures are not required. A smaller pool will set off the beauty of your garden, like a jewel in a golden crown. People like to look at themselves in a mirror, and plants are like peo­ ple. Seeing their reflection in a pond makes them feel pretty. When they feel good they’ll look great too. Now, you won’t like looking at yourself in a dirty mirror and plants don't like peering Into a murky pond. You don’t like it either, because a dirty pond at­ tracts insects and just plain looks bad. For mud-bottomed ponds with suspended clay particles, apply Lawn & Garden Gypsum onto the surface. Use 12 pounds per 1,000 cubic feet of water. It does a terrific job of clearing the water and It is harmless to any fish or waterfowl you may have stocked your pond with. For larger ponds with an algae iproblem, try buying a pair of swans. They will "harvest” the water weeds while adding their own Inimitable charm to the pool. If you decide to breed them, you can make a relatively easy profit on the operation as they require little care other than that which Mother Nature sup­ plies. Ifsnotjust a good idea. It’s the law.

Half of the diabetics in the country don’t know they have the disease. They don’t know or are not aware of the warning signs — exces­ sive thirst and frequent uri­ nation; unexplained hunger or slowly healing infections. They may also not know that diabetes most often strikes people who are over­ weight, over 40, have dia­ betic relatives; and women who have given birth to babies larger than 9 pounds. Nor do they know that dia­ betes can lead to heart dis­ ease, blindness, serious in­ fections and even death. Diabetes is caused by a lack of insulin. This is a hormone produced by the pancreas gland behind the stomach. It regulates the body’s use of carbohydrates. Adults with mild diabetes often can stay healthy by merely limiting the amounts of starch and sugar they eat. Children and some adults with diabetes need to take regular injections of insulin. Diabetes is easily detected by urine tests and blood tests. If you haven’t taken such a test lately, take one soon and if positive, see your physician immediately.

For the first five months of the year, Auto Club member requests for routings to Michigan destinations were up 24.4 percent over last year, Ratke noted. He also noted that through June 5, total attendance figures at state parks and recreation areas both campgrounds and dayuse facilities - were up 35 percent over 1976. Campground at­ tendance alone was up 15 per­ cent, while attendance at dayuse parks was up 39 percent Ratke said the big increases can be attributed to excellent weather most of May and into June. “The Memorial Day weekend showed a 46 percent attendance increase over 1976 at state park facilities, and the July Fourth weekend also should be up over last year, judging by the ex­ perience so far this year,” Ratke said. Tourism in Michigan last year was a $7-billion business, with tourism activity up 12.4 percent over 1975, Ratke noted. That percentage growth was more than double the national average, which was about 5.2 percent in 1976, he said. All tourism indicators point to an even brighter picture for Michigan this year. It started with the state’s booming ski business, with Michigan’s winter resorts getting lots of snow and attracting snow-starved skiers from popular western U.S. ski centers. Excellent weather throughout May and the record Memorial Day holiday weekend added to the tourism boom, Ratke noted. Many popular resort centers in Michigan - especially in the Westt - reported all lodgings' booked completely for the Memorial Day holiday, and heavy advance reservations are reported for the July Fourth weekend. To avoid disappointment, Auto Club advises motorists to make reservations as early as possible or to be flexible in planning trips and try for lodgings a few miles away from their destinations. With Michiganians expected to drive more miles than ever before on a July Fourth weekend, Auto Club urges motorists to use extra caution and to observe the gas-saving, life-saving 55 mileper-hour speed limit. Last July Fourth weekend, Michiganians experienced their safest summer driving holiday in 14 years, with 19 persons killed on the state’s roads. Over the Memorial Day weekend, 28 persons lost their lives in Michigan traffic accidents. The July Fourth weekend of­ ficially begins at 6 p.m. Friday, July 1, and ends at midnight Monday, July 4, and Automobile Club of Michigan’s “Bring ‘Em Back Alive!” Holiday News Service again will be keeping tabs on state traffic and tourism. Beginning at 3 p.m. July 1 and continuing through the weekend, Auto Club’s Holiday News Ser­ vice will provide hourly bulletins to nearly 160 radio stations around the state. Peak traffic periods should be between 7 and 10 p.m. July 1, when the majority of motorists head out for their holidays, and between 2 and 10 p.m. July 4, during the homebound rush.

Special guests were Mr. and Mrs. Dennis DePriester of Seminole, Texas, the groom’s sister (Debbie) and brother-inlaw; and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Hickey, grandparents of the groom. A reception followed the ceremony in the church basement. Cindy and Don are now residing at 11708 Scipio Highway, Vermontville. . Michigan’s dry bean growers were very active with planting operations, according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Ser­ vice. With increased soil moisture in the bean growing areas and ideal planting weather, seedings have increased to over 80 percent completion for the week ending June 18. Sweet cherries are being harvested in the southwest. Strawberry picking is in full swing in most areas. Asparagus harvest is virtually complete. Farmers averaged nearly 6 days suitable for field work during the week. Soil moisture supplies are reported as 80 percent short, 20 percent adequate. Conditions are very dry in most areas of the northern half of the Lower Peninsula and the Upper Periinsula. 1 . CORN: Corn stands vary from poor to very good throughout the State. Increased soil moisture helped to germinate seeds that were lying dormant in dry soils; however, manyfields are patchy. This secondary germination may cause harvest problems of ear corn. Corn height averaged 15 inches, 6 inches higher than in 1976 and 9 inches more than the 5 year average. SMALL GRAINS: Winter wheat matured rapidly during the week. Nearly 100 percent is headed out and over 15 percent is turning yellow. This compares with 85 percent headed and 10 percent turning yellow in 1976 and normally. Wheat heads are short with small kernels. Card of Thanks The family of Vera Viele would like to thank the many friends and relatives who helped us out during our time of need.

Michigan State University Extension entomologists point out that asparagus beetles can completely defoliate asparagus plants. The fohage produces the food that is stored in the plant roots to provide for next year’s growth. Loss of the foliage weakens the plants and reduces next year’s yield. Water Early in the Day Maybe worms aren't exactly your cup of tea. But when it comes to watering the garden, being an early bird pays off. Foliage that remains wet for long periods of time is extremely susceptible to disease. Plants watered late in the day tend to remain wet through the night, giving disease organisms a long time to get established. Plants watered early in the day, however, soon dry off, minimizing the chance that in­ fection will occur. Fertilize Asparagus For good yields next year, fertilize asparagus in June. Fertilizing now helps roots store nutrients for next year’s Eighteen classmates and their Jones, Nashville; Robert Oaster, families enjoyed a potluck dinner Nashville; Darrell Avery, at Wm.

By Marylou Blosser, RN Home Safety Deaths from accidents in many areas of the world are exceeded only by deaths from cardiac disease and cancer. Many of these accidents hap­ pen at home. Awareness of dangers in the home and recommenda­ tions for safety„ instructions are everyone’s responsibility Householders should try to make their own home as free from hazards as possible. Injuries associated with falls are high on the accident list. Prevention? 1. Have a secure handrail on all stairs. 2. Make sure stairs are well lighted. 3. Keep stairs clear of all obstructions. 4. Observe proper design of basement stairs. They should not he too steep but should have a moderate slope. 5. Mend all dress hems and cuffs of pants. Hems or pants cuffs that sag can cause one to trip. 6. Be selective in the use of floor polish. Floors should not be so highly polished that they are slippery. 7. Avoid .scatter rugs that do not have nonskid pads under them. 8. Use nonslip pads in the bathtub and a nearby safety rail helps prevent skidding when the feet are wet. Safety precautions are es- pecially important when a person is over 65. Elderly people may lose their balance, have poor vision. More com­ mon-sense safety tips are: Don’t stand when you feel faint or dizzy. Tape all electric extension cords to the wall to keep from tripping over them. Wear shoes with rubber soles. Many fires are started each year by the careless use of matches,'and smoking in bed results in many deaths each year. Every home should have a fire extinguisher. Drug poisoning in adults often results from the theory that if one pill is good, many must be better! Medications from your doctor are pre­ scribed according to your own particular need. Follow care­ fully the physician’s instruc­ tions on the label. If you are under a physician’s care, do not take any medication, not even the nonprescription type, without telling him. Everyone needs to take the time and effort to study the conditions in his own home, to reduce the toll of accidents.

MAIN in NASHVILLE BATH ENSEMBLE Assorted velours and terrys hoose from solids and prints Trickle irrigation uses small amounts of water applied at low pressure to limited areas to prevent moisture deficiency in plants. A main line - usually one-half inch plastic pipe - runs from the outdoor faucet to the garden. There, a flow-regulating valve governs the quantity of water delivered to the rows. Water may be applied to plants by means of tiny plastic tubes or flexible hoses made of black plastic film. The microtubes emit a trickle of water around the roots of each plant or on each hill at a rate of one gallon per hour. The hoses produce a continuours wetted strip. An alternative to flow­ regulating valves and nicrotubes is pressure compensating emitters that release water at a rate of one or two gallons per hour. They operate at household pressures, and if spaced at twofoot intervals along the row, they should provide adequate wetting. It takes much less water to meet plants’ needs than you may think. With trickle irrigation you apply just enough water exactly where it’s needed. If you use a sprinkling system or hand-held hose, you waste a lot of water on the areas between rows where desirable plants can’t use it. Because trickle irrigation wets only the soil immediately around crops, the areas between rows stay dry and accessible. They also tend to remain relatively weedless. When and how long a trickle irrigation system needs to run depends on the weather, the moisture-holding capacity of the soil and the crops grown. When rainfall is adequate - one inch or more per week - you need not operate the system at all. During dry times, one hour per day is probably adequate. More water may be needed if the garden soil is sandy or the crops are large.

Senate Republican Leader Bob Davis of Gaylord sponsored the measure (Substitute SB 144) which simply states that radioactive wastes may not be stored or disposed of in Michigan. His bill was one of a package of nuclear waste bills. The other bills (SBs 153, 688, 689, 690) prohibit the U.S. Government from condemning federally-owned properties or acquiring land in the state, which would be used for storage, deposit or dumping of radioactive wastes. “This package of bills gives the state attorney general the tools he needs to fight the federal government to the U.S. Supreme Court, if necessary,” Davis said. “Hopefully, this legislation will deter ERDA (U.S. Energy Research and Development Administration) from con­ sidering Michigan as a site any longer,” he said. The need for legislation arose when a Congressional sub­ committee report called ERDA’s promise of gubernatorial veto power “carefully contrived and misleading double-talk.” At­ torney General Frank Kelley said the state’s chances of success in a -court battle would be substantial if legislation were on the books giving the state regulatory powers over a dump site. “I think we’ve made our point very clear to the federal government,” Davis said. “They will NOT use Michigan as a dump for deadly garbage.” The bills will now go to the State House of Representatives where action is expected to be taken in the fall.

The farmer's old adage, "Knee high by the 4th of July" is an understatement to say the least when considering Sandy Rogers' corn in his garden at Mead-O-Acres Trailer Park near Thornapple Lake. Here Sandy, along with stepsons, Jeff and Greg, measures the corn to be over five-and-onehalf feet tall. Sandy attributes a mistake on his part to be one of the reasons of the corns' exceptional growth. He said he put 50 lbs. of fertilizer on the garden which is 25 yards long and 5 yards wide. "If it wasn't for my Wife (Judy) planting it," said Sandy, "we wouldn't even have the garden. It was her idea." (Maple Valley News photo) Princess Soya tells Legislature of importance of Soybean industry The daughter of a Dansville soybean grower spoke to the Michigan Legislature Monday night (June 27) about the im­ portance of Michigan’s soybean industry and the role of the state soybean programs. Tamarra Sheathelm, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Darwin Sheathelm, addressed the legislature in one of her first official actions as Michigan’s new Princess Soya. She spoke in support of resolutions introduced by Rep. Tom Sharpe and Sen. Richard Allen on the importance of the soybean industry in Michigan. As the official representative of the Michigan Soybean Association (MSA), Miss Sheathelm explained the goals of that organization. “The Michigan Soybean Association works closely with the American Soybean Association in a three-pronged approach to a profitable soybean industry,” she said. “That ap­ proach includes worldwide market development to increase demand for our product, soybean research to cut costs and improve yields, and legislative action to give soybean growers a voice in government decisions affecting their livelihood.” The soybean spokeswoman also said MSA played an active role in introducing a soybean checkoff program to Michigan last fall. “This new program, which provides farmer funding for research and market develop­ ment, is one more way we are working to improve the soybean industry in our state,” she said. Miss Sheathelm said the MSA’s main goal in the legislative area is to keep legislators informed about the soybean situation so they will have current in­ formation when making policy decisions affecting soybean growers.

Too much exposure and too much exercise in the hot sun may produce sun stroke. Prolonged excessive heat, either in or out of doors, can cause heat stroke. In either case it is important to keep the victim cool and call a physician at once. Sunburn has hospitalized many a vacationer. Everyone should know, says the American Medical Association, that gradual exposure to the sun,,t beginning with a few minutes a day, is the recommended course. But many of us forget to watch the clock and to take precautions against sunburn in the excitement of the first day at camp or at the seashore.

The pure, oldtimey sounds that drifted north from the Appalachians and the Ozarks blend perfectly with the rustic heritage of the park’s restored 1850’s village. The music at the Thornapple Bluegrass Music Festival begins at 12:30 p.m., featuring wellknown area bands such as Sweet Corn, Cabbage Crik, Hor­ sefeathers and The Williams Family. Bluegrass is a music that has picked up a growing momentum in the last few years in Michigan. Bluegrass festivals have been popping up here and there across the state. The songs of bluegrass can sound as lonesome as the train whistle winding through an Appalachian valley; the har­ monies are simple, smooth and tight. But bluegrass, unlike many other music types, can quickly turn to a fast-moving, harddriving, up-tempo that makes feet stomp, spoons clack and hands clap. Bluegrass is crisp and clean. “Bluegrass makes you feel The Sweet Corn String Band, a popular group from Kalamazoo, will be appearing at the Thornapple Bluegrass Music Festival, July 24th, at Charlton Park for their third year. The band blends a unique mosaic of music ranging from the traditional melodies of the early American mountain folks to the high-powered excitement of contemporary bluegrass. Members of the band are (left to right) Mark Sahlgren top, Par Mertaugh, Dick Atwell and Bill Halsey Photo Photo supplied supplied good whether you’re singing it or listening to it,” Tim King, festival co-chairman says. “The words are simple - about love, or grief, or home - and the har­ monies are basic. The songs sound hohest and people like that.” It’s a fact that growing num­ bers of people do like bluegrass. New groups are always forming and festivals have exploded in attendance. The Stringbean Memorial Festival in Charlotte grew from about 200 people in 1972 to over 6,000 attending in 1976 and 1977. More than 4,000 at­ tended the Thomapple Bluegrass Music Festival at Charlton Park last year and several thousand more are expected this year. Those who were at the park’s first two festivals agree that the music is in close harmony with the Historical Village. Few things could be more complementary than listening to the mountain songs that were handed from generation to generation while examining a hand-hewn log at the carpenter’s shop or watching a blacksmith shape red hot metal into a nail or horseshoe. “I think what has attracted people to bluegrass is much the same as the things that bring people to Charlton Park,” Frank Walsh, park director says. “Here, we’re trying to give people a sense of their heritage, show them their roots. That’s what bluegrass does.” Bluegrass music has been reaching out to an array of personalities and age groups. Folks from five to 65 will be on hand at Charlton Park. "To me, it’s easier to say what bluegrass isn’t than what it is,” Mark Feldpausch, chairman of the 1976 festival, has said. “It isn’t country-western. It’s not electric or rock. I know that it is a mix of the old-time mountain songs and modern acoustic in­ struments.” A surprising fact about bluegrass is that most of the people involved are not professionals. Festivals are being organized by people who are in it for fun, and most times the performers return on Monday morning to their homes and everyday jobs. Groups featured at Charlton Park are made up of people who devote their weekdays to careers and weekends to bluegrass. But, they are serious about their music. Most of their spare time goes to practicing. They develop the same professionalism as the top touring tourng bluegrass uegrass musicians muscans and are known for quality performances. M M Festival promoters invite people to “Come out and breathe the fresh music.” Nestled on the banks of the Thornapple River, Charlton Park is the perfect home for bluegrass. The music begins at 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, July 24. For $2.50 for adults and 50 cents for children, you can listen to some of the best that bluegrass has to offer, tour a restored stagecoach inn, see an excellent collection of artifacts in the museum and walk into the past at the one room schoolhouse and the village church.

For trout fishermen, the caddis hatch is in “full swing.” Following are south-to-north reports on fishing success compiled today by the tourist association from charter boat captains, sport shops and chambers of commerce: THREE RIVERS-Area lakes, particularly Corey, Pleasant and Fisher, are very good for Bluegills, trout and bass, reports the Chamber of Commerce. The St. Joseph river is producing very good catches of pike. Baits in­ clude worms, wigglers, crickets and artificial plugs. ST. JOSEPH—Fair to good fishing here is reported by Capt. Ben Yacobozzi of the Lady Jane. Catches are dominated by Lake trout and also include Coho and Chinook salmon, Steelhead and an occasional Brown trout. 55-95 ft. depths over 100-115 ft. of water are best bait areas. GRAND HAVEN-Despite foggy weekend weather, over 400 fish were taken by 65 boats in the 3rd annual Grand Haven Sport­ fishing Tournament, it is reported by the Chamber of Commerce. Fishermen were catching a variety of fish, at all depths, and using all kinds of bait. On the bayous and rivers, fishing has been good for Bass, Bluegills, Specks, and Catfish with Pike just fair. Perch on the pier have been “hot and cold.” MUSKEGON-Water tem­ peratures have stabilized, the fish are schooling, and fishing is “just great”, reports Capt. Ben Seehock of the Seahawk. Fishermen are landing some limit catches of Lake trout, Chinook salmon to 17 lbs., Rainbow trout to 10 lbs. and now the Coho salmon are here. Best lure has been a Heddon green tadpolly trolled 60 ft. down over a 100 ft. water depth. WHITEHALL-Fishing, particularly for Lake trout in the 4-14 lb. range, is “very, very good,” reports Capt. Eugene Kuhne of White Lake Fishing Fleet. Frequent limit catches are being taken. The area is also producing a few Chinook salmon and Perch are coming off the piers. Best action is over 60-120 ft. of water- down 40-75 ft.-on No. 3 yellow Dun, olive Dun, and small Manistee Wobblers. Two up­ Drakes.

In 1975, 9400 fewer people were killed on our highways than in 1973, when speed limits were \ above 55. I, for one, think those are pretty good reasons. Quite a few of you obviously do, too. Because a lot of people have slowed down. But not everybody. My guess is that some of you have decided the 55 mph speed limit is some­ thing you can take or leave. It isn’t. It’s a law. With tickets and fines and all the rest. Just like any other law. And from where I sit, there’s just no way around it. The 55 mph speed limit can do a lot of good things for all of us. And it’s my job to make sure it gets the chance to work. Not just because it’s a good idea. But because it’s the law. It’s notjust a good idea. It’s the law. “really biting,” reports Capt. Mike Bradley of Sea Joy. Fish, mostly Lake trout, are being taken in 60-65 ft. of water on Clattertads or Fireplugs with Big John cowbells. Green and chartreuse have been best colors. Wire-line fishermen have been doing well using Johnson spoons. HONOR -Fishing in this area ranges from “hot” to “spotty,” reports Tom Stocklen of Riverside Canoes. Pike are “hot” on Platte lake and responding best to Daredevils and floater Rapalas. Panfishing, particularly for Rock bass, is very good: in the lower Platte river and Platte lake. Bass action has slowed down. There are plenty of Brown trout in Lake Michigan, but success has been spotty because of light fishing pressure. TRAVERSE CITY-The east and west bays of Grand Traverse Bay, according to the Chamber of Commerce, are producing Lake trout in 70 ft. of water on Fireplugs and Spring spoons, Brown trout in 40-50 ft. of water on Rapalas and Rebels and Small mouth bass in shallow water on night crawlers. Silver lake and Rapalas are very good for Walleyes and High lake is very good for Bluegills. A few Coho salmon and Whitefish are also coming in the bay. PETOSKEY-Lake trout fishing here has been excellent between Petoskey and Norwood, according to the Chamber of Commerce. Lake trolls and Fireplugs have been best baits at 40-50 ft. depths. Walleyes and Northerns have been especially good in Burt and Mullet lakes. Bass fishing has been good, and the Bluegills are back on beds 'making fishing great in shallow water. Trout fishing has been very good with night fishing good for Rainbows and Browns. CHARLEVOIX—Good to ex­ cellent fishing for Lake trout is reported by Capt. Lew Webb of Marine Charter Service. Lakers are hitting best at 60-90 ft. depths on yellow, chartreuse and blue and silver Fireplugs with beer can trolls.

Michigan motorists could have saved at least 47.5 million gallons of gasoline worth about $27.8 million in 1976 had they properly inflated their tires, the Tire In­ dustry Safety Council estimates. “The simple act of keeping the right amount of air in automobile tires will make an important contribution to energy con­ servation,” said Council Chairman Malcolm R. Lovell, Jr. “Proper inflation will benefit the car owner by saving both gasoline and tires.” Properly inflated tires can add five percent to gasoline mileage, or an extra mile per gallon, because they roll easier, ac­ cording to industry experts. The correct air pressure also extends tread wear, which in turn saves oil because many com­ ponents of tires come from crude oil, Lovell pointed out. It takes seven gallons of crude oil to make a tire, industry sources say. A study by the National Bureau of Standards shows that more than one out of four cars has at least one seriously underinflated tire. A seriously underinflated tire is four or more pounds of air pressure below the amount recommended by the vehicle manufacturer in the car owner’s manual. more than 4.8 billion gallons of gasoline were consumed by an estimated 5.7 million cars, trucks, buses and other vehicles in Michigan last year, according to the Federal Highway Ad­ ministration. The Council estimates that 80 percent of that amount - or 3.8 million gallons was used by automobiles. A five percent savings of that figure would be 190 million gallons. Thus the savings lost by onefourth of the Michigan drivers with underinflated tires would total 47.5 million gallons. Based on the recent average U.S. price of 58.6 cents per gallon, the loss due to inderinflation would amount to more than $27.8 million. The American Petroleum Institute says the entire U.S. consumes 100 billion gallons of gasoline a year - more than 1,000 gallons for every automobile on the road. A five percent savings on that amount of gas would come to at least 50 gallons for each car or a savings of at least' $29.30 per car annually on gas alone. “Overall, American motorists could save at least 800 million gallons of gasoline, or 41 million barrels of crude oil, a year if they would only inflate their tires with free air, Lovell said. “Total domestic demand for crude oil has been running about 20.2 million barrels a day. So the amount which could be saved by proper tire care would satisfy all the oil needs of the U.S. for two days. Free retirement plan book available from IRS service Employees who are not covered by a pension or retirement plan where they work can get a free booklet from the Internal Revenue Service outlining how to set up an in­ dividual retirement arrangement (IRA), the IRS said. IRS Publication 590, “Tax Information on Individual Retirement Savings Programs,” explains in simple language how qualified individuals can set up their own retirement plan and get a tax break at the same time. And this year, for the first time, non­ working spouses such as housewives, can establish their own IRA providing the working spouse has an IRA. The booklet also covers certain restrictions and limitations. Within certain limits, the money placed in an IRA and the interest or other income the money earns are not taxed until the individual begins making withdrawals. The minimum age for making withdrawals from an IRA is 59%, unless the owner becomes disabled before then. Most people, the IRS said, will realize a tax savings when with­ drawing the money because retirement usually places them in a lower income tax bracket. The tax treatment and restrictions of individual retirement arrangements are among the items discussed in IRS Publication 590, available from most local IRS offices. Watch out for summer heat! You can’t really beat the heat. Whether it’s the heat or the humidity, or both, it’s hot in almost all of the United States in July. After weeks of sweating and steaming, it’s not uncommon to find the heat is beginning to wear you down. You can’t do anything about the outside temperature. You can avoid it if you’re fortunate enough to work and live in air­ conditioned comfort, but it still will be hot outside. The American Medical Association points out that there are some things you can do to be more comfortable - things that can help you beat the heat. Stay out of the sun as much as possible, especially during the middle of the day when rays are hottest. Wear light, loose MtMBtR N^ALP Association - Founded 1885 clothing. The ladies have the edge over the men in this respect. Drink more liquids than usual, but take extra salt only on your physician’s advice, particularly ifyou have liver or kidney trouble or a heart condition. Take a shower or dip in the pool once or twice a day to cool off. Get plenty of rest and sleep. Eat your regular diet and don’t go overboard on cold cuts and salads, unless you like them anyway. Get up early in the morning to do your heavy work on the lawn or garden. Or work at dusk in the evening, but try to avoid heavy exertion during the hottest hours of the day. There is sound physical reason behind the siesta custom of the tropics. You need exercise in the summer as well as in the winter, but don’t overdo it, especially on extra hot days. Don’t overdo physical exertion, whether at work or at play. The more relaxed outdoor life of the summer months has many advantages to compensate for the heat. Stay relaxed and use common sense and you can beat the heat - at least somewhat. Maple Valley News ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★•A Nashville, Michigan.

In­ dividuals who wish to determine the effect of any law upon their legal affairs should consult a private attorney.) Inflation is something that affects everyone adversely, but it is especially tough on those who live on fixed incomes, such as senior citizens. To help senior citizens deal with this problem, the state legislature had enacted two laws to ease the burden of property taxes on those 65 or older. The first law, which Michigan residents 65 and older have en­ joyed the benefits of for several years, gives an income tax credit for local property taxes assessed against their homesteads. The state tax law providing for this credit does not, however, apply to that portion of tax at­ tributable to special assessments levied for improvements such as streets, sidewalks, sewer, water, and lighting. Now the state legislature has taken action to deal with these special assessments. | As of January 1,1977, Michigan senior citizens whose household income does not exceed $6,000 may now defer the payment of special assessment taxes if they have been residents of the state and have owned and lived in their -homestead for at least a five year period. Under Act 437 of the Public Acts of 1976, homeowners who meet the above qualifications may apply to their local assessing officer for deferment of special assessment taxes, if their gross amount, exclusive of in­ terest, is $300 or more. The legislature has taken care that local units of government do not lose out under this plan. Deferred special assessment taxes are fully paid by the state from a special revolving fund and become a lien on the property. That lien then must be paid one year after the taxpayers death or when ownership of the homestead is conveyed or transferred. Inflation is not a pleasant pill for anyone to swallow, but these laws should help to ease its bitter taste for some of Michigan’s older citizens. Vacation health tips, exercise caution The traditional summer vacation of the American family is highly recommended by your doctor. The family needs to get away from customary home and office chores, forget day-to-day worries for a short time and generally get rejuvenated and ready to face another year. Whether your vacation will be a short trip to a nearby lake, camping out in a national park, a plane trip abroad, or what have you, there are a few things to keep in mind that will help avoid having the holiday spoiled by illness. Depending on where you’re goind, you may need some vaccination shots. Tetanus, certainly for anyone who expects to include some out-of-doors activities. Typhoid, if your journey includes areas where the water supply is uncertain. Ask your doctor about these, and possibly other immunizations. The American Medical Association suggests that you remind yourself to use common sense about your vacation diet. Many a family trip has been spoiled by too many roadside hamburgers and soft drinks. A sound rule while driving crosscountry is to eat lightly. Be cautious about heavy, rich meals, particularly if you’re not ac­ customed tn such fare at home. Know what sort of climate you will encounter at your vacation spot and dress accordingly. It can get cold in the mountains at night, even in midsummer. Good walking shoes are important to the travel wardrobe. If you wear glasses, take along an extra pair. Or at least a copy of your prescription. If you’re taking a regular medication, make certain of your supply before you leave. And, finally, don’t overdo it. Almost' no one other than a trained athlete is ready for 36 holes of golf or five sets of tennis under a broiling sun. Schedule your vacation to allow daily rest periods. Do most of the driving in the morning hours and stop for the day in early or mid-afternoon. Your vacation should be a holiday for rest and relaxation. It should not be a grind that necessitates another vacation to rest up from the vacation. Reach over 3,200 area homes with a ‘wantad’ in the Maple Valley News.

Riegle, Jr. (D-MI) today called on President Jimmy Carter to place as much “energy and imagination into solving the nation’s unem­ ployment problem” as was seen in his campaign for the presidency, and pledged his own personal cooperation. That suggestion was seconded by Senator Jacob K. Javits (RNY) today when the two legislators appeared with Labor Secretary Ray Marshall, to discuss “What Hope For Our Unemployed” on^the publicinterest forum ‘National Public Radio’ at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Riegle urged Carter to set the unemployment problem, and not programs such as the $92 billion B-l Bomber, at the top of the list of national spending priorities. “It ought to be national policy in this country that every person who is willing and able to work has a meaningful job,” he said. A key element in moving the country toward full employment, he said, is a ‘revitalization of the government’s relationship with business.’ All three panelists agreed that a “strong part- PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS DIRECTORY LIMESTONE & MARL (Delivered and Spread) CRANEWORK • Drainage Ditches • Farm Ponds DARRELL HAMILTON Rt. 3, NASHVILLE PH. 852-9691 ST.

Unemployment be can reduced, Riegle said, without resulting in increased prices. “With high unemployment, the country is run inefficiently - 18 percent of our plant equipment now sits idle causing decreased production and higher prices. That’s inflationary. When the system is run efficiently, with increased employment and full production, the unit price drops,” he said. Riegle countered moderator Irving R. Levine’s (NBC News) comment that ‘help wanted’ signs are frequently seen in fast-food operations, while people complain about a lack of work. “In my own state of Michigan, when an employer is even rumored to have jobs available, long lines form overnight of people waiting to apply. People want to work,” he said. Riegle also called for an in- crease in the current $2.30 minimum wage. He described the living conditions resulting from a 40-hour work week at minimum .wage - after taxes, of living on $10 a day - as “impractical, not survivable. You can’t support a family on $10 a day. These wage earners must be provided with a liveable and adequate income,” he said. Senators Riegle and Javits, both members of a House-Senate conference committee on youth employment legislation, were instrumental in developing a program of targetting funds to relieve the “tragic waste unemployment of the nation’s most vital resource - our youth. The Youth Employment and Training Act of 1977 will establish (employment services for youth throughout the CETA program, create a young adult con­ servation corps similar to jobs programs of the 1930’s and local public works projects for youth employment. Social security office offers free information on social security records— People can get help, free of charge, in getting information from their social security record, according to Robert Fleminger, social security district manager in Grand Rapids, Michigan. “Some private organizations are charging fees to help people get information from Govern­ ment records,” Fleminger said. “But you don’t have to pay anyone to help you get in­ formation from your social security record. Any social security office will be glad to help you without charge.” Under the law, people generally can get information that’s under their name and social security number in records kept by the Social Security Ad­ ministration. “You must specify which system of records the in­ formation is in,” Fleminger said. “But people at any social security office will help you determine where the record you want is located. They’ll also tell you how to ask for the in­ formation you want.” Copies/of information that can be photo copied from social security records are free up to $25 worth - generally 250 pages, according to Fleminger. “Over that amount,” he said, “photo copies cost 10 cents a page. Copies of information that can’t be photo-copied are furnished at Cnmnillllltllliityv v AVvvlllS« i< cost.” People can find out how to get information from their social security record by calling, writing, or visiting any social security office. “Request for specific information must be made by a letter over your notarized signature - or in person after you’ve proved your iden­ tity,” Fleminger said. People can get a report of earnings credited to their social security number, free of charge, by filling out and mailing a “Request for Statement of Earnings” form that is available at any socia) security office.

Reconsideration of the vote was requested and further action on the bill will probably be delayed until fall. NEW LEGISLATORS SWORN IN - Reps. Thomas Scott (DFlint) and Jack Kirksey (RLivonia) were sworn into office last week. The two won election to the House in special elections and bring the 110-member body back to full force. WETLANDS.. INVENTORY BILL - A long fought bill to preserve wetland areas in the state was unanimously approved last week by the House Con­ servation Committee. A similar enforcement bill passed the House last year, but was left to die in the Senate. HEALTH CODE =. During its final spring-session days, the House again approved a 450-page revision of Michigan’s public health code. HB 4070 is now in the Senate; it updates and moder­ nizes all of our state’s health laws, and was first passed by the House last session. BILL BARRAGE - Most of a large package of bills revising state-agency laws to conform with the new Open Meetings Act have been passed to date. Last Wednesday marked a high point: 33 bills were passed by the House in one day. Passage of each bill requires a roll-call vote. NON-RESIDENT TAX - Lastminute Senate action added an amendment to HB 4161, an ap­ propriations bill, which would remove city income taxes on non­ residents. However, it includes a requirement that cities be reimbursed by the state for the revenue so lost, so the total amount in question — some $28 million -- would still have to come from overall income taxes. PBB BILL Another lastminute question in the Senate was the passage of HB 4109, which requires testing of most Michigan dairy cattle bound for market, destruction of those with a certain amount of PBB, and payment to farmers for the destroyed livestock. Arguments centered on what level of detectable PBB should be required for destruction of livestock. SUMMER JOBS - Both houses have now approved SB 422, which provides $5 million for a 10-week summer job program for young people 15 to 21. The jobs will be conservation projects funded by the DNR and administered through regional parks and local governments. PUBLIC DRUNKENNESS The Senate this fall will consider HB 4394 and 5085, which the House recently approved to improve a 1974 law decriminalizing public intoxication. The bills limit the detention of public drunks, but retain drunk and disorderly conduct as a crime.

FALK, M.D. Dean, Chicago Medical School Body time is important Even without a watch on your wrist, your body would know what day and time it is. For instance, the men­ strual cycle is 28 days, the same period as the phases of the moon. Your body tem­ perature has a 2° variation, rising in the evening dark­ ness and at its lowest in the morning sun. Most people sleep when it is dark and are awake during daylight. You are happier at some times of day than others. Experiments at the Uni­ versity of Health Sciences/ The Chicago Medical School reveal that chemical proc­ esses at the most fundamen­ tal level, inside living cells, have daily rhythms, being active at some periods of the day and dormant at others. This indicates that drugs may be more effective in treating diseases at certain times of the day rather than at others. It would be eco­ nomic and elegant to hit a diseased organ when it is most vulnerable. For example, your doctor may want blood pressure medicine to be given at 3:00 p.m., when the pressure is the highest, rather than in the morning, when it is lowest. In the future, drug prescriptions may have in­ structions based on body time. �TO VISIT OUR BRIDAL BOUTIQUE Every bride dreams of the perfect wedding . . a day that she will hold dear all through their lives together.

CORN: Corn “leaf rolling” is occurring in many fields due to the hot, dry weather conditions. Early planted fields of com are waist high in many areas, while the average corn height Statewide is slightly over 20 in­ ches. This is 6 inches higher than last year’s 14 inches at this time of the year and 12 inches nor­ mally. SMALL GRAINS: The warm weather hastened winter wheat towards maturity as over 50 percent has turned yellow. This compares with 35 percent in 1976 and over 20 percent in the average year. Winter wheat harvest is starting in the southern counties and should move northward during the week. Oats are about 60 percent ’Headed with 03 percent turning ■yellow, compared with 50 percent headed and 01 percent turning yellow last year. Normally at this time, 30; percent are headed and 01 percent are turning yellow. Dry conditions are affecting plant height and head develop­ ment. Numerous oat fields are being cut for silage and hay. DRY BEANS AND SOYBEANS: Planting of dry beans is nearing completion as 95 percent are planted. Last year at this time, 80 percent were in arid normally slightly over 60 percent. The crop looks good, but is in dire need of rain. Some fields in the Saginaw area were replanted because of maggot damage. Soybeans generally look good and the early planted fields appear outstanding,- However, those seeded later under drier conditions are spotty. HAY AND PASTURE: With continuous dry weather, haying is proceeding along without in­ terruption. Over 80 percent of the first crop is in the bam A few "A nice shade tree, a nice cool drink, and re­ laxing. Then I get home and my wife says the house has to be painted, the garage has to be cleaned, the yard has to "Sitting in the park. I like to go out for steak dinners or something like that. I like to spend my time in town. I cut the grass once a week, and let me tell you, that's a big lawn out there." Conditions are extremely dry throughout most areas of Michigan and crops are suffering from the moisture shortage, according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. Average rainfall ranged from zero to onehalf inch, with most stations recording no rainfall during the week ending June 25. Irrigation equipment is operating continuously. Both surface and subsoil moisture are indicated as short. Pasture feed Supplies are very short and many pastures are dried up. The warm weather and clear days provided farmers with an average of 6 days suitable for farm work during the week. However, a few days of rain would be welcome. Main farm activities included dry bean planting, haying, harvesting Pennock building project reflects local involvement Persons passing the Pennock Hospital construction project will notice a building sign which was erected on Tuesday, July 5, 1977. This sign points out that “The project was financed locally without governmental funds”. The Board of Trustees of Pennock Hospital recommended this wording to reflect the local involvement in financing the Pennock project. The financing is from three local sources: 1) Building Fund Drive. 2) Hospital depreciation funds, and 3) financing by two local banks. Richard Fluke, Executive Director, stated that "In today’s world of seeking solution to problems by going to Lansing or Washington for funds, it is heartening to see that the entire financing for the hospital ex­ pansion and.remodeling project was acquired through local sources.” farmers are cutting second crop in the southern counties. Hay yields are below average and. with pasture feed supplies short Statewide, some livestock farmers are culling much closer to stretch feed supplies. As an Otsego County dairy farmer said, “I have just finished cutting my hay and it’s the worst I’ve har­ vested in twenty years.” FRUITS AND VEGETABLES: The sweet cherry harvest is moving along rapidly and is 2b percent complete.

VETO PROOF? - A conference committee has added language to HB 4157 which says the entire bill is voided if the Governor vetoes money for freeway patrols by sheriffs in 9 counties; this is to protect such money for Wayne County. But it apparently con­ flicts with our Constitutional language which says the Governor can line-item veto any item in an appropriations bill. REDLINING BAN - The House has passed the first of four bills designed to improve Michigan housing and prevent discrimination against buyers. HB 4227 would ban home mor­ tgage institutions from refusing credit for home purchases within any given “red-lined” neigh­ borhood. LIGHTS OUT - Among recent legislation signed into law by the Governor is HB 4501, which revises a 1919 law to prohibit the use of artificial lights to hunt deer or game, except that a person may possess both a weapon and a light during the 1 hour after the hunting day’s end. ENERGY DEPARTMENT - The Governor recently detailed to the legislature his proposal to create a state Department of Energy. This would be the 20th such department and would regulate, research, and develop Michigan energy use, and provide con­ sumer public assistance. WOOD LOTS - The state Energy Administration advises that summer is a good time to gather firewood for use in the fall and winter, so the wood can dry. Free timber permits for chopping wood in state or national forests may be obtained through the DNR. - Athletic Boosters club organization meeting There will be a meeting at 7:30 July 13 at Maple Valley High School to organize a Maple Valley Athletic Boosters Club.

Draught conditions in country have lowered water levels The Department of Tran­ sportation reports that drought conditions in many areas of the country have lowered the water level of lakes and rivers causing unseen and uncharted hazards for the recreational boater. Logs, stumps and rocks nor­ mally covered by an ample depth of water are now just below the surface in many of the nation’s waterways and present a serious danger to boat hulls and Vacation Bible School at Peach United Methodist church The Peace United Methodist Church, at Barryville, is spon­ soring a 3-day Vacation Bible School, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, August 1, 2, and 3.

The U.S. Coast Guard warns that special care must "be taken when boating in such areas, particularly during periods of reduced visibility. Another hazard generated by the dry conditions is that lakes which still have sufficient water for boating are likely to attract many additional people from drought stricken areas. This added congestion will require an extra measure of care to avoid ac­ cidents. Boaters who are forced to turn to salt water for recreation are cautioned that they should familiarize themselves with the different conditions, which they may meet on the ocean, before they venture out. The Coast Guard reminds all recreational boaters that one of the best safety tips is to always be familiar with local conditions before you begin your voyage.

Instead, take these tips on timely chores from Michigan State University Ex­ tension specialists and bring your lawn and garden through July in good shape: Water and fertilize sycamores, oaks and other trees that have lost their leaves due to anthracnose. This will stimulate them to produce a new crop of leaves quickly. - If you haven’t fertilized your trees yet, do so by July 15. Later fertilization might dispose them to winter injury. • Spruce and hemlock may be suffering from spider mite at­ tack. Shake branches over white paper to detect the tiny pests. Spray with kelthane to control them. - Prune and shape narrow­ leaved evergreens by July 15. - Aphids and leafhoppers may be damaging honey locust and maple. Control aphids with malathion'and leafhoppers with Sevin. - Inchworms on ornamental trees can be controlled with Bacillus thuringiensis, a bac­ terial disease that affects only caterpillars. - Control lacebugs • on an­ dromeda and azalea with malathion or Sevin sprayed on the undersides of the leaves. • Keep a close eye n houseplants set outdoors for the summer. Control insect pests as soon as you detect them. Water once or twice a day, as necessary, to keep containergrown plants from drying out. - Pick faded flowers and seedpods from pansies, zinnias, snapdragons, cosmos and the larger marigolds to keep the plants blooming all summer. Dianthus, moss rose (portulaca), petunia, verbena and annual phlox will continue to bloom without your help, but cutting back long, ungainly stems will keep them compact and full. - If you haven’t already done it, apply a summer mulch around rose bushes. - Dahlias suffering from stem rot should be replanted in a welldrained spot and treated with captan. Pinch back and tie the shoofs as needed. - Continue a disease and insect control program for roses. - Remove faded rose flowers just before the petals begin to fall. Cut the stems back to just above a node bearing a leaf with five leaflets. - Pinch chrysanthemums until July 15 to encourage bushy - Spray tomato plants with maneb.

Do not fertilize these until they have set a few fruit.

The primary reason it was decided to do so, was the fact that the old structure could not be insured. Tim Boucher, the prospective buyer of the property, recently decided to pull out of the purchase for reasons unknown. The building will be town down under a government work program, thereby not costing the village any money said the council. The village will sell the salvageable materials if it is legal to do so. The council decided to reject any further offers on the mill property until the mill is finally leveled.

R.C. DeMarco, Regional Ad­ ministrator for LMSA, said that the presentation will be shown on request to employers with less than 100 pension plan par­ ticipants. DeMarco said that the slide presentation was developed at the request of Secretary of Labor Ray Marshall. “Secretary Marshall,” said DeMarco, “was concerned about the problems small business employers may encounter in filling out the pension forms, which for many are due by July 31st.” The slide presentation consists of a step-by-step discussion of each item on the 5500 C and K forms. The presentation is designed to run about one hour and highlights some of the more difficult aspects of completing the forms. Employers interested in viewing the slides should contact the Labor Management Services Administration offices at 231 W. Lafayette St., Room 630, Detroit, Mich., 48226. Phone: (313) 226­ 6200.

Bursitis, says the American Medical Association, means inflammation of a lubricating sac about a joint. The sac, called a bursa, is similar to a collapsed balloon with some fluid inside. It is locatedat various places in the body where joints or tissues touch and rub, and without cushioning there would be friction. Bursitis can hit at many points in the body, but most often occurs in the shoulder, knee or elbow. In most cases bursitis follows unaccustomed strain or overuse of an extremity. By taking a little time to work up to your physical condition, and especially by working up the muscles that you plan to use in any repetitious motion outside your normal activity (strengthening your wrist and arm before starting to paint the house, for instance) you can probably keep clear of this common and painful ailment. If you get bursitis, no one need suggest that you see a doctor. The pain is so acute that you will be the first to seek relief. In recent years, science has learned much about bursitis, and there is much your doctor can do to relieve the pain and promote The Maple Valley Athletic Boosters are getting off to a real good start.

Money would go in in good years, then be with­ drawn in bad years. This year’s deposit will be $75 million. PBB HOTLINE - People with questions or problems which are related to PBB can now call free for information and assistance. If you call collect to 616-796-3514, you’ll reach a field office of the Michigan Department of Public Health. HOT PLATES - Now in the Senate is HB 4359, which would require all commercial vehicle license plates to have a full sheet of reflective plastic beginning in 1978. Proponent^ say it would mean greater safety; opponents say it would cost too much. FREEWAY PATROL STAND OFF - House and Senate leaders will meet next week with Governor Milliken in an attempt to break the impasse over freeway patrols, and whether to bring the Legislature back in special session this summer. The State Police budget was held up by the disagreement over whether and how much funds be given to county sheriffs for patrols. JURY DUTY - House Bills 4135 and 4136, now in the Senate, would require a reduction in the standard 3t)-day service for jurors and would end most of the present exemptions from jury duty. The aim is to make jury duty easier and juries more representative of the populace; opponents say this is not needed in some areas and would increase local court costs. SCHOOL SMOKING - The state attorney general has ruled that public schools may not designate a location on school property forr students under age 18 to smoke cigarettes. Although student smoking lounges have been asked for, it is clearly illegal for minors to smoke in public. LIGHTS UP - Reversing its earlier decision to keep the bridge unlit at night, the Mackinac Bridge Authority has bowed to public pressure and decided to turn on the bridge lights from dusk until midnight, at least during the summer. This will cost about $1.50 per night. GREAT OUTDOORS - If your group would like a pleasant summer program, you might consider pne of the 50 movies on wildlife, recreation, and the environment available for a free loan from Film Loan Folder, DNR Information Services Center, Box 30028, Lansing, Mi. 48909. LOW LEVELS - This season’s low rainfall and warm, sunny weather have combined to bring the Great Lakes back to "normal” levels. This has impeded boating and shipping activities, but it has also slowed shoreline erosion. Boaters should carry upto-date charts to avoid shoals.

Wednesday July 20.1977 •• Page 6 The Penny . a species in jeopardy, but It is a rare moment to see a one -cent sale rung up on the cash register these days. Jerry Brumm, owner of Nashville Hardware, measures steel single jack chain that sells for 14 cents a foot, slightly more than a penny an inch. Karen Hummel knows a value when she sees one. Here, she finds a loaf of bread that sells for about a penny a slice at South End Food and Beverage. The penny...the poor, lowly penny, has fallen on hapd times. Someone might offer a penny for your thoughts, but how much wisdom and knowledge can a penny buy? Some might still maintain that a penny saved is a penny earned. And others might claim that a penny found is good luck. But for the most part, a penny isn’t worth a wooden nickel. Inflation has claimed a host of casualties, the penny being one of the most obvious. Abe Lincoln, whose likeness adorns the once proud piece, would roll over in his grave if he was aware of the penny’s present plight. But for those willing to give it a chance and do some serious searching, the penny can make some sense in life. The penny can buy time. Of course there are none in Nash­ ville or Vermontville, but the penny can get you 12 minutes of curb' time on a parking meter. So chalk one up for the penny, .it can buy time, which is ever so valuable in this fast paced world of burs. The gum-ball machine at Kelley’s Variety Store and other businesses in Nashville and Vermontville are favorite places for youngsters to part with their pennies. But other candies have left the penny far behind. “There is no such thing as penny candy anymore,” said Max Kelley, owner of Kelley’s, “even penny candy costs two cents today.” Simon Pharmacy still has two candies that sell for a penny, .sour apple gum balls and zotz candy. But the remainder of penny candy sells for two cents. The next closest item selling for a penny at Simon’s are cigarette lighter flints, which sell for five for ten cents or, in other words, two cents each. But the best bargain at Simon’s is time. “People can call and get alot of information (on drugs and prescriptions) for nothing,” said John Simon. “Our time is free.” At South End Food and Beverage it’s possible to find some penny values with some fancy mathematical calculations. Continued next page- Elaine Leonard, owner of Nashville Flowers and Jewelry, sells the ribbon in the picture for 36 cents a yard, an even penny an inch value. Next to her on the counter are star flowers that sell at three for a penny. Post office clerk, Vesta Ditzer, shows hundreds of onecenl, s^mPs>that can be purchased at the post office in Nashville. But be sure to buy thirteen so that letter will be delivered. �The Maple Volley New*. Nashville Michigan, Wednesday July 20,1977 — Page 7 One slice of Blue Seal Bread costs about a penny. You can purchase two books of matches for one cent, or rubber bands for less than a penny. Large pretzels sell for two for five cents, or 2.5 cents each and balloons can be purchased for a pair of pennies. Twnety B.B.s have a one-cent value. Nashville Hardware is a fun place to hunt for penny values, with all the single nuts, bolts, screws and nails available for purchase. A shopper can buy several of certain tacks, nails, etc. for a penny. Ten staples for one cent. One one-quarter inch washer or split shots for a penny. A spool of 100 yards of 6 lb- test fishing line sells for $1.00, so one yard of the line is a penny value. Steel jack No. 16 chain sells for 14 cents a foot, so one inch of it is worth slightly more than a penny. At Nashville Flowers and" Jewelry, star flowers can be purchased at three for a penny. Ribbon sells at 36 cents per yard, so it has a penny value an inch. The U.S. Government, which mints the coins in the first place, still offers penny values. Just stop down at the local post office and buy a one cent stamp, but be sure to buy a dozen more of them if you want your letter to get through. The moral of this story appears to be that the penny is not yet extinct, but the species is in jeopardy. Penny buys are far from a thing of the past, but you must keep an eye peeled to find them. So, if you think the penny isn’t worth a red cent, take a closer look around. There are still a few buys for penny pinchers.

Blueberries can be eaten right off the bush, mixed into pies and pancakes or even used to make soap. Last year Michigan growers’ production was up 12 percent over 1975-a total of 35.9 million pounds compared to New Jersey’s 26.3 million and North Carolina’s 1.5 million. Michigan has a total of 58C 1976 blueberry crop-23.9 million farms, and despite a severe pounds-was sold for processing winter that damaged many into canned fruit for pies, jams, plants, agricultural officials are jellies and other goodies. The predicting the state will retain its remaining 12 million pounds were sold for fresh market, including No. 1 position in 1977. The bulk of Michigan’s those blueberries from “pick­ operations and blueberry crop comes from your-own” Allegan, Berrien and VanBuren roadside stands. For the past 14 years, the counties, but “you-pick” operations listed on Auto Club’s National Blueberry Festival has 1977 guide extend into central, been held in South Haven-always in July when the first of the fruit East and Southeast Michigan.

About two-thirds of Michigan’s annual Blueberry Festival Aug. 19-21. Festivities that have become a tradition at South Haven’s celebration, held this year July 1­ 4, include the crowning of a Blueberry Queen, blueberry baking contests, blueberry pie­ eating competitions and blueberry pancake breakfasts. The “you-pick” blueberry farms listed by Auto Club range from one'acre to 75 acres. Some offer tours of the farm, including the processing operation; provide playground equipment or farm animals for the enjoyment of youngsters; sell snacks or fresh-baked blueberry pies and home-made blueberry preserves, and accommodate visitors with restrooms that range from outhouses to the most modem conveniences. Most “you-pick” farms provide pails for picking but visitors must bring their own containers for transporting the*fruit home. Some farms even transport visitors by wagon to the fields and give them stools to make it easier to reach the berries at the top of the bushes. At the J.G. Brower farm near Holland, visitors are entitled to three pounds of blueberries free if they have picked berries there four years straight.

Ross Nichols is majoring in band. Blue Lake was founded in 1966 and in 11 years has grown to become one of the largest facilities of its type in the United States. The camp offers students a highly diverse arts curriculum.. Blue Lake has programs throughout the summer for elementary, junior high, high school and college students. The camp runs for two-week sessions.. The second session runs from July 5 through July 17 and is primarily for junior high school students. Students attending the camp during the second two-week session have the option of majoring in one of the following areas: art, ballet, band, jazz-rock ensemble, orchestra, piano, theatre and musical theatre. The Blue Lake art program includes work in drawing, painting, weaving, stitchery, textile designing, macrame, sculpture, ceramics and jewelry. The three purposes of the art program are the making of works of art, the understanding of art objects in relation to the culture and the critical evaluation of art products. Students electing a major in ballet at Blue Lake take classes in technique with jazz, character or modern dance classes rounding out the ballet program. Band students at Blue Lake are divided into three bands with students grouped by ability.

We encourage courage picnicking and just visiting. Most of our customers return as friends each year.” Because of changes in the weather and variations in har­ vest times, it is always advisable to phone ahead to assure that berries are available at a par­ ticular farm. Recipes for delicacies made with blueberries are included in a booklet published by the Michigan Blueberry Growers Association of Grand Junction. Some of the “you-pick” farms sell recipe booklets while others offer them free to customers.” sectionals, band students can enroll in technique classes and choose an elective and various recreational activities. Jazz enrollment at Blue Lake is limited to two ensembles of complete standard instrumentation. Jazz work includes two hours daily in full ensemble rehearsal, a sectional rehearsal and one hour of improvisiation. There are two orchestras during the second session with students assigned according to proficiency level following auditions held the first day of the session. In addition to a full rehearsal schedule, students have a chance to attend performances of the Blue Lake Staff String Quartet. The piano program at Blue Lake is designed to introduce the student to a variety of keyboard literature and to expose the student to other aspects of the keyboard by offering electives such as accompanying, keyboard ensembles, harmonization and transportation. The piano facilities have been expanded this year to include new teaching studios, a piano classroom, eight additional practice rooms and a performance new stage overlooking Little Blue Lake. High School students attend the theatre and musical theatre program. Both curriculums run for four weeks. The theatre program began June 21 and the musical theatre began July 5.

Over 4,000 listen to the Mown home’ sound of Bluegrass, Sunday More than 4,000 people from all over Southern Michigan braved the overcast, rainy weather to attend the third annual Thornapple Bluegrass Music Festival at Charlton Park Sunday. The crowd clad primarily in bluejeans, cut-offs, tank tops, t-shirts, cowboy hats, and halter tops brought along ice coolers and picnic luncjies regardless of the weather forecast. Umbrellas were also readily at hand. Nearly halfway through the musical program, the skies unloaded a deluge of rain sending many of the spectators scurrying for their cars. However, the majority of the crowd took only temporary refuge in the building facilities, their cars, or under trees. After the storm passed, the program continued to its entiriety. At right, The National Recovery Act, David Prine and Tyler Wilson, play that good die home sound of bluegrass music. Raymond N. Viele of Ver­ montville is learning about scientific research the best way possible - by getting in there and doing it. Viele is participating in the 19th annual Michigan State Univer­ sity High School Honors Science Program, running through July 28. Top students from around the country and from as far away as England were selected to take part in the six-week science enrichment program cospon­ sored by the National Science Foundation. While in residence at MSU, the 39 students attend computer science and general science classes in the mornings Afternoons are devoted to work on a research project of the students’ choosing, in the fields of biology, b i oc hem es t ry, physics, engineering or computer science. Experience in pursuing research projects, the op- portunity to use university laboratories, and working with other science-oriented students are some of the objectives of the program, said Dr. Charles Peebles, program director. But it is not all work and no play. Places of interest both on and off campus are visited and guest lecturers speak to the students. For his research project, Viele is studying the effects of depressants on rats and is con­ ducting various stimulus­ response experiments. He plans on a career in veterinary medicine. The son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Viele of 220 Round Lake Road, Viele is a student of Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School. He is a member of Lhe band, yearbook staff and student council, has performed in school musicals, and is the manager of the basketball team. �The Mopie Volley N**»» itmbviUb. IVeJne^er July V. W1 - Poge 2 NFIB offers social security plan The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), largest small business organization in the country, has proposed an alternative to the Carter Administration's plan for bailing out the nation's troubled Social Security program William J. Dennis, Jr., NFIB Research Director, outlined the NFIB proposal in recent testimony before the Senate Finance Committee's Sub* committee on Social Security The NFIB proposal would divide the current Old Age and Survivors Insurance <OASI) program into two parts. Dennis said Part A would resemble the existing insurance program, but with some conceptual changes Under Part A. each individual would receive as a benefit his or her accumulated employee­ employer contribution, plus interest Since the Part A benefit may not be enough for some in­ dividuals or families to exist at reasonable standards, Dennis said, there ts also a need for Part B. patterned after the existing Supplemental Security income • SSI) program. program Part B beneficiaries would receive two checks-their Part A entitlement based on employment con­ tributions and their Part B benefit based on family need Since Part B benefits would be social subsidies and not earned entitlements, they would be financed from the general revenues, subject to annual appropriation. Dennis said NFIB's proposal “places rationality and equity into the benefit structure from the beneficiaries’ perspective. That is not not true. Persons who contribute don’t necessarily receive benefits; persons who don’t contribute may receive benefits. Some are ‘docked’ for working after retirement, while others having a greater income receive the full benefit. It simply doesn't make sense.” One obvious inequity which the plan would solve, Dennis pointed out, involves working wives. Under present law, a wife who never works outside the home is entitled to Social Security benefit equaling half of her husband’s benefit when he reaches retirement. Thus, in order to get any Social Security benefits resulting from employment outside the home, a working wife must have earned a Social Security entitlement equaling more than half that of her husband’s. Under the NFIB plan, Dennis explained, both husband and wife, would be entitled to the full amount which they and their employers had paid into the system. NFIB's proposal also forces persons not contributing to Social Security to pay part of the sub­ sidy given low income retirees, Dennis said. “Since Part B benefits will be financed from general revenues, no person can escape paying his fair share. The largest group affected will be the approximately two million civilian Federal government employees and the ap­ proximately three million state and local government employees who now contribute virtually nothing to the maintenance of the low-income elderly.” Dennis noted that a phase-in period would be needed to insure adequate benefits to current retirees. “It is important to recognize that we are not ad­ vocating the reduction of benefits Knoll - Rodriguez united in Nashville Denise C. Knoll became the bride of Randal S. Rodriguez in a ceremony at the Nashville United Methodist Church. May 14. Rev. Leonard Putnam per­ formed the double ring rites in the presence of 180 guests.

Howard Wolpe guest speaker at Eaton Intermediate meeting in Charlotte Howard Wolpe, area representative for U.S. Senator Donald Riegle, was the guest of the Eaton Intermediate School Board at their regular meeting Wednesday, July 20, at 8 p.m. in the Intermediate School Office, 1790 E. Packard, Charlotte. After a brief description of Senator Riegle’s regional office services located in the Hollister Building, Lansing, Wolpe listened as board members expressed concerns about national education legislation. Eaton Intermediate Superintendent Stephen A. Hayden criticized federal grant processes, indicating that federal dollars tend to go to larger metropolitan areas. “I am very sensitive to that,” Wolpe said, “not just for Eaton County but all small counties in the state.” Generally this hapi pens, he explained, because large metropolitan areas have staff time and resources devoted exclusively to grant writing, whereas small areas simply do not have the manpower. Other concerns expressed by Intermediate board members included the complexity of the process necessary to apply for federal funds and the mandatory “strings” attached to such monies when they are awarded. “You’ve got to bring in so many things you don’t need to actually get the grant”, Clyde Edington, board member representing Potterville said. Federal funding for needed projects in both schools and communities should be made available on a discretionary basis, Hayden said. Ad­ ministration of the funded program should be assigned to existing agencies. More real services might be squeezed out of federal dollars if local agencies retained discretionary control over their use. Concerns expressed by Eaton’s board will be reported back to Senator Riegle for consideration, Wolpe said. Election of officers for school year 1977-78 followed, with the following slate accepted: President Leonard Peters, Eaton Rapids; Vice President Charles Viele, Maple Valley: Secretary - Stephen Hayden; Treasurer - Mary Gyger. In other action the Board: Established 8 p.m. the third Wednesday of each month at Eaton Intermediate as the regular meeting time and [dace.

Nashville. Wednesday July 27.1977 - Page 4 New books at Putnam Library to the editor Dear Sir, I have been in the Air Force for almost three years, and my parents have been sending me the Maple Valley News ever since I left. I enjoy reading it because I like to hear about school ac­ tivities and sometimes I see the name of an old friend mentioned. However, I have a request. Could you change the title of the column “News of our Ser­ vicemen” to “News of our Ser- vice-people” or “People in Service”, etc.? It is hard to fight the sterotype of all servicemembers being male so if the News is truly “...a local paper of today!” as it proclaims, then I’m sure you will understand what I mean. It may seem small, but small changes help. Thank you. Sincerely Dawn M. Brown, USAF Obituaries Church of the Nazarene and a former member of the Rebekahs.

Hunter’s Attire Governor Milliken last week signedinto law H.B. 4564 (PA68, immediate effect) requiring persons hunting wild game or birds with a firearm to wear a vest, jacket, or cap of a fluorescent orange color, except persons hunting waterfowl from a blind or boat, hunting bobcat, crow or wild turkey, and hunting with bow and arrow. Library System - Now awaiting the Governor’s signature is S.B. 344, which will set up a statewide library cooperative system. The system will provide coordinated book collections, audio-visual and reference materials, plus pur­ chasing and processing operations. Substance Abuse Governor Milliken has appointed a Citizen’s Task Force to study the problems of substance abuse among Michigan senior citizens. This involves misuse and abuse of prescription drugs, over-thecounter medicines, alcohol and other substances by the elderly. The group will then recommend needed changes in state programs to help solve the problem. One Vote! - Don’t ever think that your vote doesn’t make a difference: The Court of Appeals recently ruled that a Monroe County man won a judgeship election last fall by just one vote out of more than 26,000 cast The election had gone through several recounts. Eye Care - The director of the state Department of Licensing and Regulation has declared his support for a proposed Federal Trade Commission rule to allow the advertising of ophthalmic goods and services, which in­ clude things like prescribing and selling glasses. An FTC rule would pre-empt present state laws which ban ophthalmicservice advertising.

The people responded following: Comments: • I don’t mind the heat, but can’t stand the humidity. • I don’t mind the heat during the day, but I can’t stand it at night when I’m trying to sleep. • You can always put on more clothes to stay warm in the winter, but you can only take off so much clothes in the summer, and still be hot. • The only thing I complain about in the winter is the heat bills.

Lake trout, big Chinook salmon and Brown trout sharing the spotlight, it is reported by West Michigan Tourist Association. Following are south-to-north reports on angling success compiled today by the tourist association from ''charter boat captains, sport shops and chambers of commerce: St. Joseph - Perch have been bedding here and fishing is ex­ cellent. especially off Rocky Gap and the Cook Nuclear Plant, reports Capt. Ben Yacobozzi of the Lady Jane. Anglers have had fair luck with Salmon and Lake trout in 90 -110 ft. of water, 60-65 ft. down. Lures have been mostly spoons and some flash flies. South Haven - Perch fishing is “very, very good” off this port city with best fishing from the piers to a mile south over the “rocks,” reports Capt. Fernan Gruber of Big Foot Charter Service. Several weekend thunderstorms slowed Lake trout and salmon activity, but some fish were taken at 45-65 ft. depths over 100 ft. of water on Locos, Chargers and Tiny Tads. Chartreuse is the best bait color. Muskegon - Fishing is “ab­ solutely great” here, reports Capt. Ben Seehock of the Seahawk, Catches are dominated by Lake trout to 18 lbs., and Chinook salmon to 24 lbs. White Kush spoons with black dots are best bait at 50-80 ft. depths, over a 95-130 ft. bottom.: Croton - Perch fishing, with fish running from 8-12”, is excellent on Croton and Hardy Ponds, it is reported by Fisherman’s Retreat. Anglers are also taking some pike and walleyes. Area lakes are producing good catches of bluegills. Luddington - Fishing here continues good with some limit catches, it is reported by Tamarac Sports Fishing Dock. Anglers are boating Chinook up to 22 lbs.. Lake trout to 16 lbs., and Coho 4-8 lbs. Best spot has been north between the bath house and Point Sable, 70-85 ft down over 100-150 ft of water. Small Kush spoons and Lucky lures have been working well in various colors with yellow holding a slight edge. Warm water fish are also doing well, reports Ed Andersen of the Pere Center. Marquette Sports Crappies, including some big ones, are doing well in Lincoln, Pere Marquette, and Hamlin lakes, hitting on pinkie jigs and minnows. Smallmouth bass are doing “pretty well;” Pike continue good and Muskies seem to have “dropped out of sight.” Manistee - A good number of Coho are starting to show in this area, reports the Army Surplus Store. There is excellent fishing for Lake trout in Lake Michigan in 70-85 ft. of water, and Chinook up to 26 lbs. are reported. Manistee Lake has good fishing for Pike and panfish but Walleyes are slow. The Manistee river has some good catches of Bluegills and Perch. Onekama - Best fishing here is just west of Onekama in 90-120 ft. of water near the bottom, reports Van’s Resort and Charter Ser­ vice. Fishermen are netting a mixed bag of Lake trout, Chinook, Brown trout up to 15 lbs., and some Coho. Killer lures, Rattle spoons, Flutter spoons, and Lucky lures have been scoring well, especially in dark green and silver blue. In Portage Lake the fishing is “the best it’s been all summer.” Fishermen are landing some Perch that are real “beauties” on minnows, wrigglers, and crabs. Pike up to 18 lbs. have been landed trolling with Rapalas and Mepps spin-ners. Smallmouth bass are hitting well on minnows and crawlers off the points and sand bars. Bullheads are being caught “by the basket” on worms in the east end of the lake with best fishing at night.

X-5 pearl Flatfish, trolled at 35-45 ft. depths 125-HP JOHN DEERE 4430 over a 50-75 ft. bottom, are best baits. One Brown weighted in at 23 lbs., and several others taken were in the 16-lb. class.

Cont. from page 2 — to any current retiree or those planning to retire,” he said. “Our plan is tailored to meet the future needs of the system.” The Carter Administration’s plan includes several proposals which would directly affect small businesses. One proposal calls for a phased-in elimination of the wage ceiling established for Social Security taxes. Currently, an employer must pay Social Security taxes only on the first $16,500 of an employee’s wages, with this “wage base” increasing automatically as average wage rates rise. The Administration’s proposal would require em­ ployers to pay tax on the full amount of their employees’ wages by 1981. The Adminstration also proposes increasing the payroll tax rate levied on self-employed persons from 7 to 7.5 percent, and moving up by several years the scheduled date for imposing an additional one percent increase in the apyroll tax rate for em­ ployers and employees. Wilson S. Johnson, NFIB president, said 15 to 20 percent of small businesses would be af­ fected by the wage ceiling proposal, but the typical small firm would feel the greatest impact from the proposed tax rate increases. “While the dollar increase per se may seem relatively small for the individual firm,” Johnson said, “it must be viewed in historical perspective and in light of other government-mandated fixed cost increases.” Johnson said a $100 or even a $1,000 fixed cost increase “probably will not in and of itself kill any small firm or forbid entry of new firms. But it is this $100 or $1,000 increase repeated ad in­ finitum that is driving small business to the wall. “This trend simply cannot be sustained, but here we see the President’s Social Security proposals doing precisely that.” Johnson said NFIB does not wish to criticize the Carter Ad­ ministration’s plan too severely since “Social Security problems are not of its making and it was forced by circumstances into immediate action. “Our complaint lies with an unimaginative response and a failure to utilize this enormous opportunity to review the entire Social Security program.” NFIB is nonprofit, nonpartisan organization representing more than 515,000 small businessmen and businesswomen across the country. �The Maple Valley News. Nashville, Wednesday July 27, 1977 — Page 9 News from the office of: Representative Richard Allen Everybody’s out ofstep but me. Or at least it seems I stand almost alone on one basic im­ portant political philosophy whether legislators should work full-time at their elected jobs or not. I say no. But, it appears to me more and more, and in fact, most people think otherwise. The trend is against me, but I still fight it. Almost all new people coming to the Legislature announce in their campaigns that they will be a “full-time”legislator. In our most recent official directory, 92 of 110 house members list under occupation simply, “legislator.” The Senate, having more holdovers from the old school, shows 22 of us out of 38 with some occupation listed other than legislator. Obviously, under present legislative schedules, no one can work alot at their other oc­ cupations without slighting their performance as a legislator. Perhaps, one or two do that. Perhaps, in the case of attorneys, there is some basis for concern about conflict of interest. But, all in all, I think the people are best served by legislators who maintain some interest in their past professions and trades. There are quite a variety of such occupations amongst the 22 of us who do. Senator Charles Zollar of Benton Harbor and myself list farming as one of our outside activities. He also lists “in­ dustrialist” and I think it’s this activity that keeps him tuned into computer technology and other areas and thus makes him our leading budget expert. Senator John Otterbacher of Grand Rapids, a clinical psychologist, and myself, a veterinarian, are the only ex­ perience links with the medical professions. We have worked together in some related areas, such as nursing homes. We have three businessmen and I’ll bet Senator Al Degrow, sitting in Pigeon on a weekend working over his Workers’ Compensation form for his Ben Franklin store, picks up better insight into business problems than he would serving on some full-time subcommittee. Senator Jack Toepp of Cadillac still works some as a sports announcer and Jack Faxon operates a private school in Detroit. We have nine who list them­ selves as attorneys, fewer than most people think, although perhaps, more than most think we need! Two list labor union activities. While I am often distressed by the strong arm organized labor seems to exert in our Legislature, I think it is good that these two list their outside occupations. And, apparently the people in their districts see no more con­ flict in this than in someone else being a farmer. To me, this is the essence of democracy - a group of citizens leaving their chosen fields for a period of time to write the laws under which we will all operate. Not experts on law, but knowledgeable in our fields and in the needs of the people. The meeting times for governmental bodies vary widely - from a few afternoons or evenings a month in some local offices to the year-around ac­ tivities of our national Congress and increasingly, many state legislatures. When it becomes so full-time that most cannot really live at home (Is Grand Rapids really Jerry Ford’s home after all these years?) or maintain their original occupations, I think lawmakers’ thinking changes and not in the best interest of the people. For this reason, local government in a democracy is often more attuned to the needs of the people. Do I really believe all this or am I just making excuses for the fact that I intend to spend a fair amount of time in our two-month break as a veterinarian and a farmer? CALL US TODAY! RAIN |STORAGE I guess that’s for you to decide. Write me if you have opinions or problems with state agencies and want help or if you would like me to speak to your group.

Wednesday July 27, 1977 — Page 10 Fishing safety health tip from the American Medical Association Fishing is good therapy-both physical and emotional. Medical The American Association points out that the milions of Americans who head for the lakes and streams across the nation each fishing season don’t need a doctor to tell them that fishing is a good sport. They likely have seen their doctor sitting in the next boat with a line in the water. Fishing can be elaborate, complete with a trip to the seashore and renting deep-sea boats and equipment. Or it can be the cane pole and worms affair on the banks of a neighborhood creek. Either way it gets us out in the fresh air and sunshine, gets our minds off the cares of the day. Unless you are the vigorous type who wades through racing rapids or rows hard for miles, fishing is only mild exercise, but still is good for the body and spirit. Fishing also is a relatively u it does does have ve some soe safe sport.. But built-in hazards. Most of them can be avoided. The most common fishing accident is catching a barbed hook in the flesh, usually a finger of hand, but sometimes a leg or other part of the body. Lures and hooks left unprotected on a dock or on the bottom of a boat cause many-of these accidents. The wise fisherman guards against hook accidents by shielding the hook. One simple fish, hold the fish firmly under way is to stick a small cork over the gills, so that its head can’t the barb. Lures should be stored flop or wiggle.

If makes high and low spots less obvious and prevents lawn mower tracks from becoming marked. The easiest way to avoid following the same path each time you mow is to mow across the path you followed last time. Mow lengthwise one time, Shape Up With our Stylists diagonally the next,, then crosswise. Or follow a circular pattern, starting at the edge and working toward the center. Whenever possible, make turns on sidewalks or driveways rather than on the edge of the lawn. If you must turn on the grass, make a wide, sweeping turn rather than a rapid, spinning turn. Quick turns on the turf can lead to bruising and tearing and even­ tual thinning of the turf. To keep your lawn healthy, keep your mower sharp and properly adjusted.

Summer has pleasures all its own - soaking up the sun, boating, contemplating the dazzling view of a blue-green lake. “However,” says Dr. Sol Pickard, Henry Ford Hospital cardiologist and president of the Michigan Heart Association, “while almost everybody is aware by now of winter’s hazards to the heart, few know that a summer hot spell can bring its own hazards.” In fact, severe heat waves have been known to increase the death rate from heart attack by more than 50 percent. Why? A combination of reasons, Dr. Pickard says. “A person’s whole lifestyle may change in the summer. There’s lawn and garden work unaccustomed exercise in itself. Sports can be added to that - hauling a boat in and out of the water, biking, swimming. Along comes a hot spell and sets the body’s ‘cooling system’ into high gear, adding to the circulatory effects of in­ creased exertion.” This coding system, while efficient, causes an increased work load on the heart More blood is pumped to the skin, sweating increases, and heat is lost. The second reason is improper diet. People tend to eat dif­ ferently in the summer, sometimes eating on a grab and run basis, dieting to look good in the bathing suit, or even skipping meals altogether. As a result they may not get enough foods con­ taining potassium and sodium salts, necessary both for the proper functioning of the brain and to prevent heartbeat irregularities which may cause heart stoppage. Fortunately, Mother Nature has planned for this and summer brings a bounty of foods rich in these substances. Some foods which are good sources of potassium are: bananas, cantaloupe, grapefruit juice, orange juice, potatoes, tomato juice^ flounder and halibut. Other good sources are: beets, broccoli, buttermilk, carrots, skim milk, watermelon, lean beef, chicken and lima beans. People tend to avoid many of these potassium-rich foods, especially the meats, during the summer when they may need them more than ever. A free booklet, ““Facts Facts About Potassifim” is available from the Michigan Heart Association. The booklet also explains which of these foods contain a large amount of sodium, which may. have to be restricted by some heart patients. Iced and sweet drinks such as lemonade, which many people may consume a great deal of in the summer, do little good except as sources of fluid. Third among hot weather problems is something our grandpartents never encountered - air conditioning. Though not in itself a problem, air conditioning and the sudden temperature change it precipitates when people go in and out of it all day can be a total shock to the body’s temperature control system. These hazards of extremely hot weather can be minimized by: - limiting physical exertion during hot spells - eating foods which contain potassium and sodium salts - staying (as much as possible) in one environment - either hot and humid or air conditioned. With a few simple precautions, we can all enjoy Michigan’s “hazy, lazy crazy days of sum­ mer” to their fullest. Note, however, that some hypertensives or renal failure patients may be on low sodium or low potatssium diets and should check with their physician before making any dietary changes.

Fedewa, Statistician in Charge of the Michigan Crop Bo Erwin attends football camp at GrandValley Bo Erwin of Nashville is attending the Grand Valley Football Camp this week. The camp is offered to senior high players and gives them an opportunity to learn skills necessary in all levels of football. The camp is under the direction of Grand Valley head football coach, Jim Harkema. In his four years at Grand Valley he has compiled a record of 29-10-1. Among the highlights as Laker coach was last years victory over previously unbeaten Northern Michigan, ranked No. 1 in the nation in the NCAA Division II PoU. Assisting Harkema at the camp this week are, Coach Dave Driscoll of Jackson Parkside, who has coached many fine athletes including Tony Dungy, former quarterback at Minnesota, and Coach Bill Chinery who has been successful in developing the veer at Davison High School. Also several of Harkemas assistants and former players from Grand Valley are included in the staff. Reporting Service, noted that in Michigan 120 samples were randomly selected. The fields will be visited monthly until harvest. Trained enumerators will make on-the-spot counts to measure plant growth and development. Counts will be made in two sections each con­ sisting of two 15-foot rows. This information helps determine yield per acre. Similar work will be done on 3,080 samples located in other states. Following harvest, a small area in one-fourth of the sample fields will be revisited. Corn missed by the harvester will be picked up to determine har­ vesting loss and net yields. This objective yield survey ajid date provided by producers will be used as a base for monthly corn production estimates. These are published by the Michigan Crop Reporting Service throughout the growing season. Former resident and 1919 graduate of V.H.S. dies Hubert T. Smith, 209 S.

Nash. Wednesday (July 27) wrote a letter to Governor Milliken asking him to urge the Commission to hold a meeting with interested persons and elected officials representing the area affected by 1-96. The Commission agreed to hold such a meeting during the week of August 15. The exact date, location and time, will be an­ nounced later.

"Many people believe that an alternative route may be a wiser selection.” he added. Nash said the whole issue is being clouded with requests for reevaluations of the route, charges of misuse of the en­ vironment and probable waste of prime farm land in the area. “The decision the Highway Commission makes is a very important one that will affect many people. It is conceivable that a meeting between the commission and interested parties could expedite the completion of 1-96 and therefore reduce the cost of construction,” Nash said. Nash pointed out that such a meeting will give interested parties and all local and state elected officials representing the area an opportunity for further input into the decision.

Wednesday August 3. 1977 -- Page 7 Weight Watchers awarded for brochure A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative MEDICAID FRAUD AND PENALTY LAW SIGNED BY GOVERNOR: Governor Milliken last week signed S.B. 18 (PA 72, immediate effect) to define fraudulent Medicaid activities and set penalties for Medicaid providers or clients who take kickbacks, bribes or otherwise attempt to defraud the state. The new law authorizes the attorney general to investigate fraud allegations and take legal action. / COURT GIVES ADDED PROTECTION TO EM­ PLOYEES’ FREE SPEECH RIGHTS: The Court of Appeals has ruled that if protected political activities play any role in provoking the firing of an employee, the person’s First Amendment rights are violated and the discharge is improper. The Court 'stated, “A public employee who does not have a policy making function cannot be discharged because of his exepeise of his First Amendment rights.” LOCAL CONTROL - Hearings are being held this summer on two bills which would allow local governments to set up ‘‘rainy day” funds like that recently enacted for the state. HB 4854 would allow local units to place surplus revenues into a fund administered by the State Treasurer, while HB 5176 would limit such deposits to 15 percent of the unit’s yearly budget. NATIONAL AWARD Michigan’s federal surplus property agency has been named the outstanding agency of its kind in national competition held by the U.S. HEW Department. The agency gets surplus federal property such as office equip­ ment and electronic components and passes it on to local agencies, charging only a service fee and thus avoiding new-equipment spending. JOB BASE - Many uses have been suggested for the aban­ doned Kincheloe Air Force Base in the Upper Peninsula: a medium-security prison; a waste disposal facility; a DNR storage depot; a senior-citizen housing project; a county airport. All would help restore lost area jobs. SUMMER WORK Even though the legislature is in recess, the work goes on. For example, last week public hearings were held around the state on bills.dealing with nursing home treatment, local govern­ ment financing, product liability, and returning Memorial Day to May 30. RAPE RULING - The Michigan Court of Appeals has upheld a section of the 1975 rape law which protects rape victims from questions about their private sex lives. It is thought that this provision will encourage more rape victims to testify in-court against their attackers. BED FORESTS - A Finnish consulting firm has said that Michigan’s forest industry is suffering from too many trees per acre, which prevents good trees from growing. Also, state tax regulations and a low profit factor are discouraging proper management procedures.

Nashville, Wednesday August 3. 1977 -- Page 9 And in this corner Abraham Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas faced each other in debate for the first time August 21, 1958. The place was Ottawa, Illinois and at stake was a seat in the U.S. Senate. Douglas won that election, but Lincoln gained notoriety and began his political ascent. A courthouse where Lincoln once practiced law now stands in Greenfield Village. It was moved to the site in Dear­ born, Michigan from its original location in Postville, Illinois, A weekly report from: Senator Richard Allen The Michigan Legislature’s 1977 Regular Session has drawn to a close. During this Session, which adjourned July 8 and resumes September 14, the Legislature approved several measures of importance to you. In addition, the annual state budget, which has yet to be reviewed by Governor Milliken, was adopted. I would like to outline briefly some of the major issues that were enacted into law this year or are currently awaiting the Governor’s signature. Household Income Clarification: The first new public act of this year exempted employer-paid health and life insurance premiums from the definition of household income for the purpose of determining property tax credits. An average of $10 to $15 in tax credits for the 1976 tax year was provided each Michigan tax­ payer as a result of passage of this new law. PBB (Polybrominated Biphenyl): Testing for PBB will be required of all dairy cattle culled for slaughter in Michigan and, those containing over 20 parts per billion of this fire retardant which was accidently mixed with livestock feed in 1973, will be destroyed. Scientific evidence has determined that this 20 parts per billion testing level is unreliable and that only approximately one ounce of PBB remains in the food chain. It is estimated that this new law will cost the taxpayers between $15 and $45 million with no likely health benefits what­ soever. I voted against this measure, but was at least able to secure a number of amendments which I believe are beneficial to IONIA FREE FAIR taxpayers and agriculture. Medicaid Fraud: | IONIA FREE FAIR I Also signed into law this year was a bill yvhich gives the state the legal muscle to prosecute persons who knowingly abuse the Medicaid system. The new law provides stiff penalties for making false statements in an application for Medicaid benefits, obtaining a bribe in connection with such benefits, or conspiring to defraud the state under the Medicaid program. IONIA FREE FAIR Student Loan Expansion: In the belief that no student should be denied the opportunity to attend college due to a lack of money, the Legislature passed a new law increasing by some $27 million the bonding limit of the Michigan Higher Education Assistance Authority. The Authority will thus be allowed to grant loans to thousands more students this fall. Handicapped Parking: Effective October 1, nonhandicapped persons who park in spaces designated for the han­ dicapped in public areas across the state will face a fine of up to $100. This new law also gives han­ dicapped the option of obtaining from the Secretary of State either a specially designated license plate or a transferable serialnumbered certificate for per­ sonal use. Miscellaneous: In addition, new laws were passed to allow members of public school returement systems to obtain credit for their time spent in the military, to delay the Single Business Tax second quarter payment by one month, to create a summer youth employment program, and to assure bus service for the han­ dicapped. Extension Agricultural Agent named for Barry County Ronald L. Dingerson has been appointed Barry County Extension Agent effective on September 1, 1977 pending Michigan State University Board of Trustees approval. Dingerson will perform the agricultural program services which were formerly provided by Arthur Steeby, who retired in February. Steeby's administrative duties are the responsibility of Doris J. Richardson who is also the Family living agent. Dingerson received his bachelor of science degree in animal husbandry in 1969 and master's degree in animal science in 1973, both from MSU. He was a field salesman for Ralston Purina 1970-71, a livestock buyer for Michigan Livestock Exchange in 1972 and a commercial farm manager from 1973-75. He and his wife, Julie have one child. Ron's duties will include planning, organizing and conducting activities related to crops and soils, livestock, agricultural engineering and business management programs for th agricultural industry of the county. He will also provide services and information for part-time farmers and for urban homeowners.

Concerned taxpayers hold July meetingThe Concerned Taxpayers of Barry County held their July 25th meeting in the Courthouse at Hastings and after a brief business meeting, President James Rice introduced Senator John “Jack” Welborn, a strong opponent of Regionalism, stated that he knows of no function that Regional government does that local' units of government couldn’t do as well or better. He pointed out that the heads of regional government are ap­ pointed rather than elected and therefore are not accountable to the taxpayers. Senate Bills 458 and 459 are bills introduced by Senator Welborn to urge repeal of the regional government concept. Senator Welborn stated that “He is of the opinion that the majority of legislators will continue to spend and raise taxes as long as they can get away with it and that is why local taxpayers associations are now necessary. It is imperative that the Legislature get the message from the people to pay the bills and elect them. There is a lot of work to be done and it cannot be achieved without input from groups such as the Concerned Taxpayers of Barry County.” She drove 800 miles a day and crossed the country Alice H.

Everyone welcome to attend. Ernest Nash Nashville Cub Scouts State Representative August 8 to 15, 1977 START SAVING Governor Milliken last week signed into law the Michigan Budget Stabilization Fund, to have an initial “deposit” of $75 million. Money can be withdrawn and spent.in bad years; it can also be used to ease state cash flow problems. HEATING ASSISTANCE - This is the last week for senior citizens to send in applications for the home heating assistance program. Limited-income seniors can qualify for up to $250 to help pay utility costs. For applications, call 1-800-292-5930. JUDICIAL SYSTEM The Governor has restated his sup­ port for a petition drive to place on the ballot the question of appointing rather than electing Michigan’s higher-court judges. Under such a plan, citizens could still vote to remove a judge. BENEFIT DEADLINE - Federal standards for state unem­ ployment compensation laws mean that Michigan has only until November 10 to revise our method of financing such com­ pensation. This is needed to help pay back a $624-million federal loan to our unemployment comp fund. If it is not down, Washington will increase our employer taxes, which could drive jobs out of Michigan. SCHOOL LOAN The State Treasurer has announced plans MEMBER to sell $200 million in bonds this fall in order to meet December school aid payments; these would be paid back next year. While it is unconstitutional to borrow across fiscal years, short-term borrowing within the year .is OK. CONSUMER HOTLINES - These toll-free numbers can be used to get assistance on: utilities, 800­ 292-9555; travel and tourism, 800­ 292-2521; auto repair complaints, 8'00-292-4204; medicaid in­ formation, 800-292-2550; in­ surance questions, 800-292-5943; reporting poaching and other conservation Violations, 800-2927800. These all reach state government departments. MANDATORY RETIREMENT? - An issue cropping up at both the state and federal levels is whether or not people should be forced to retire at 65 in private business, 70 in state government, as they are now. A Michigan bill to be introduced this fall would abolish such rules. PHEASANT SEASON - Although summer’s hardly half over, hunting seasons will soon be with us again. Next Monday, August 15, a put-and-take pheasant season begins for 15 different areas in the Lower Peninsula; this season will run through mid­ November. U.P. DROUGHT - In spite of the fact that Michigan is almost surrounded by water, many areas of the state are suffering a severe drought. Recent figures indicate that at least 1,120 wells in the Upper Peninsula are dry: several U.P. counties qualify for disaster loans. The annual family picnic will be held August 11, at Charlton Park from 6 p=m. until dark. Bring your family, table service and a dish to pass. There will be games and lots of fun so don’t miss it!

Wednesday August 10. 1977 -- Page 4 South End Food & Beverage KNOW YOUR MERCHANT Keeping pace with the changing times . Like the Chameleon, our lives are forever changing with the climate and surroundings of the moment. Our National Govern­ ment has undergone a massive facelifting, laws and moral values have changed, and researchers are seeking new and more abundant sources of energy in an effort to adjust with the times. To persevere in today’s world, businessmen must adapt in the competitive marketing climate the way the chameleon does in its natural habitat. They must ad­ just to consumer demands, make shopping convenient, re-invest profits into the business, make the public aware of what the business offers, and provide friendly, considerate service. Roger and Diane Gardner at South End Food and Beverage do all that and more. In the two years they have Roger built a new self-serve cooler along the whole south end wall of the store for customer convenience. l AM KPT" BmmIw I El owned the Nashville party store, the Gardners have made more changes than a new mother of quintuplets. Since that time, they have added five times more in­ ventory, nearly doubled the floor space (will soon more than double it) , paved the parking lot, remodeled the interior and ex­ terior of the store, and provided longer store hours (from 8:30 a.m.-ll p.m. Monday thru Saturday; 11-11 Sunday, and open 364 days-of the year - closing only on Christmas Day) and put up a self-serve cooler. The new items they have added to the store are ammunition, fishing equipment, hunting and fishing licenses, live bait, lottery tickets, ice, kegs of beer in stock, and a larger selection of groceries. Within a week or so the store will be air conditioned for the shoppers’ comfort Roger said he will carpet the store in the near future and add more groceries to the inventory. The store has been at its 637 S. Main location since the 1930’s when it was a combination store­ gas station and garage. Glen Showalter was a mechanic there in those days. Loren Digman was the owner of the store when it was granted its liquor license in the 1960’s. The Gardners purchased the store from Bill and Doreen Cain on September 8, 1975. Roger had talked tothe Cains about buying the store several months before he bought it He said when they decided to make an offer, it was too good to refuse. “I had no retail-experience before,” said Roger, “but the price was right so I bought it. The store is a challenge, it gives me something to do.” Roger attributes much of the store’s success to his wife and the employees. “One of the main reasons it is a success is because of my wife (formerly Diane Pettengill), Bernice (Frith), Alice (Donofrio), and the other em­ ployees,” said Roger. “We acquired Bernice with the store (she had worked there since February, 1975). It would have been hell without her. “We hired Alice in January, and she has been a very welcome addition. I hope she stays a few more Januarys. “We’re losing LuAnn Frith because she’s getting married and going back to school, but Diane's sister (Tina Pettengill, who worked at the store about a year ago) is coming back to join us while she’s going to school at Kellogg Community College. It’s Diane and the other gals at the store always greet the customer with a friendly smile. Diane likes to meet people and the store provides- one of the best places in town for that.

We also have a couple stock boys, Greg Dunkelburger and Rusty Blakely, who help out.” "The thing I like most about the store is it's a great place to meet lots of people." said Diane. “I like people, I like being around people, and I like to talk alot. The store offers a perfect place to meet a cross section of the people in our community.” When asked what other work he does, Roger answered with a chuckle, "You name it, and I do it." One of the major things that occupies Roger’s time outside the store is his farm between Nash­ ville and Vermontville. He farms over 500 acres of corn, wheat, white beans, oats and hay. “I used to help out on different Just some of the trophies the South End softball team has accumulated are on display at the store. farms when I was younger and always liked it. So I decided to get into farming on my own. I started out small, but have been con­ tinually expanding.” Roger also does carpentry work for himself. He is remodeling his home and did much of the work on the store. Roger's most recent hobby is taking flying lessons. He said flying is something that he’s always wanted to do. He is also the number one fan of the South End softball team, which has won the league championship thelast few years. “I’m very proud of our softball team. They do a fine job representing the store in our community and others.” Diane is also an active in­ dividual outside the store. Her hobbies include a multitude of plants, gardenings taking care of the yard, ceramics, macrame, and softball. The Gardner family includes a German Shepard named “Sheba” and a Doberman Pinscher named “Shasta”. South End Food and Beverage offers the customers a wide range of products including liquor, Jjeer, wines tobbacco products, candy, snacks, pizzas, TV dinners, dairy products, non­ prescription drugs, paper products, watches, sporting goods, charcoal, ice coolers, dog food, cereal, coffee, gloves, and much, much more. “We try our best to offer the customers what they want. We have to keep changing with the times. “I think the business was a good move. We like Nashville and think it’s one of the better towns around. It has more potential than any other town its size in the area. There’s a good bunch of people in Nashville.” Busy Beighs 4-H club news notes Calendar of events Much hard work and busy hands have found their rewards at the Barry Co. 4-H Fair for the Busy Beigh 4-H’ers.

Muskegon has its first concentration of King salmon and fishing is excellent in West Michigan, it is reported by West Michigan Tourist Association. Multiple “hits” and limit catches are common.

The Perch are hitting crabs-best in the early morning and late af­ ternoon. Schools of Coho salmon have been hit 20-30 ft. down, King salmon are at 40-45 ft., and.

GRAND HAVEN-Fishing for Chinook salmon has been good to excellent this past week, reports the chamber of commerce. Anglers are also landing a fair share of Lake trout and Coho. Pier fishermen are landing a surprising number of good Steelhead, and Perch have been good to excellent off the pier. On the rivers and bayous, bass, Catfish, pike, and Specks have been fair to good. MUSKEGON-The first run of Chinook salmon went through the Muskegon channel this past weekend, providing the big fish news here according to Capt. Ben Seehock of the Seahawk. “Hundreds’’ of 20 lb. Kings haye been landed as fish are schooling up in 40-90 ft. water depths. Hottest lure has been a Jensen JPlug fished far back from the boat from 30 ft. of bottom. WHITEHALL-The return of cold water has brought salmon close to shore and made fishing “fabulous”, reports Capt. Eugene Kuhne of White Lake Fishing Fleet. Long lines fished 100 yards back is the secret for a good catch'as fish on the surface are “spooky”. The catch has been almost all salmon with Coho making up the bulk, along with some excellent Chinook. Tad- For all your insurance needs see ..

As you know, all bills must pass both houses of the Legislature before they can become law. I would like to outline in this week’s column several bills that have passed either the House or the Senate and are awaiting further action this fall. Passed By The Senate: INCREASED 'DRINKING AGE: Beginning December 1 of this year, the legal drinking age in Michigan would be raised from 18 to 19 years of age under a two-bill package which has passed the Senate. The higher legal drinking age would apply to those who become 19 after December 1 and would expire' in 1980 unless made permanent by the Legislature at that time. The bills were passed with my support in reaction to growing concern over the use of alcohol by students in high schools and increased alcohol-related fatal traffic accidents -among young people. CHILD PORNOGRAPHY: The Senate spoke out loud and clear against child pornography as it passed unanimously two bills aimed at prohibiting the use of minors in sexually explicit materials and the production and distribution of such materials using minors as subjects. The measures provide stiff penalties for failure to abide by the prohibitions. TOXIC CONTROL COMMISSION: In an effort to head off future chemical contamination crises like the one triggered by the PBB incident in 1973, the Senate ap­ proved a bill creating a Toxic Control Commission to monitor ther use of toxic substances in Michigan. Close tabs would be kept on how such chemicals are being used and plans would be prepared for dealing with any future toxic crises. IN ADDITION: The Senate also passed and sent to the House bills to allow the suspension of the licenses of medical professionals involved in Medicaid fraud, to assure adequate'aftercare for persons released from state institutions, to develop and maintain snowmobile trails, and to set a statute of limitations on the recovery of unemployment compensation overpayments. Passed By The House: PUBLIC HEALTH CODE: All of Michigan’s multitude of public health statutes would be compiled into one comprehensive Public Health Code under a bill passed this session by the House. The Code is designed to im­ prove public health care and protection against disease by guaranteeing the availability of certain health care services arid to make the regulation of health care professionals more fair and uniform. BIRTH CONTROL EDUCATION: One of the most controversial bills to win House approval during the final days of the past session would lift the state’s ban on birth control education in public schools. It would prohibit teaching about abortion, but would allow a full discussion of birth control methods at the discretion of local school boards and parents. NARCOTICS CRACKDOWN: Persons found guilty of dealing in hard drugs, such as heroin and cocaine, would face mandatory life imprisonment terms under a Security National Bank of Nashville was-an active participant in the fat stock sale at the Barry County Fair in July. The bank purchased a beef cow from Bill Wilson of 9549 Thornapple Lake Road, Nashville (at right in photo) at 55 cents a pound. The-animal weighed in at 1,030 lbs. The bank also bought a hog from Dan Keech of 6344 Bivens Road, Nashville, for 87.5 cents per pound. The hog weighed 180 lbs. In photo with the cow is Ray Hinckley branch manager of Security National Bank. (Maple Valley News Photo) bill passed by the House.. Another bill in this narcotics crackdown package would allow the use of wiretaps in drug in­ vestigations. REDLINING: Mortgage and home improvement loans could not be denied on the basis of racial or ethnic characteristics of neigh­ borhoods or the age of a home under a bill winning House ap­ proval. And, the state would be authorized to provide lowinterest home improvement loans under another bill which I have introduced in the Senate. PLUS: The House has also passed bills to eliminate Michigan’s presidential primary, to im­ plement a one-day, one trial jury system, to repeal the state’s 40year-old bounty on coyotes, to allow car buyers to stop payment on defective automobiles, to reinstate criminal penalties for disorderly drunks, to earmark all State Lottery funds for education, to_develop a statewide nutrition plan, and to regulate the condominium industry. Please feel free to write to me at the State Capitol, P.O. Box 30036, Lansing, MI. 48909, should you wish to comment on any of these issues. I would appreciate hearing from you.

Action had been taken on March 21st. to eliminate some teaching positions and extra curricular programs after the millage defeat in February. Action was also taken not to hold the Sep­ tember 7th millage election. The action at the meeting August 8th will reinstate the elementary art position, vocal music at the elementary and secondary level, one section of seventh grade and one section of eighth grade. Based upon present enrollment there will be three sections of kindergarten at Fuller St. two sections at and Maplewood. Thre will be three full sections of fifth grade at Maplewood instead of two and one-half sections. Three teacher aides will be reinstated at the elementary level. Field trips will be held during the coming school year. The band program will begin in the fifth grade the same as in the past. In the athletic program the following sports were reinstated: The number of athletic teams will be comparable with this past school year. Boys: High school Track, Jr. High Track combined with girls, Tennis, J.V. Baseball, Freshman Basketball, 5-6 Intramural Basketball, Golf, Jr. High Wrestling, Cross Country. Girls: High School Track, Tennis, J.V. Softball, 5-6 grade intramural basektball. The school district will be employing five football coaches instead of six. Three will be assigned to the Jr. Varsity team and two working with the varsity football team. A limitation was placed upon the amount of scouting that could be done at the varsity level at school expense. No provisions were made for scouting at the Jr. varsity level. All team meals were eliminated for the 77-78 school year. At the present time no summer programs were approved. The purchase of most valuable and most improved awards in the various sports will be continued as well as Dad’s and parent’s nights. The Jr. and Sr. plays will be held this coming school year. The chess team was also reinstated. At this time the summer vo-ag program is operating on only a half time basis and will be handled through negotiations and state the department of education. The position as assistant Jr. high student council sponsor at an estimated cost of $170 and the position as half time elementary mathematics consultant at an estimated cost of $5,050 have been eliminated. General supply purchases will remain basically the same as the past school year in most areas with slight increases x in some areas. The lease on the school car expired on June30 andwasn’t renewed. The board members took ac­ tion not to hold ' the special millageelection which had earlier been approved to be held September 7. It is possible for the school district to reinstate the above programs and operate this coming school year with an anticipated deficit of only $4,620 which would come from the June 30 general fund balance of $278,500.56. There are two main reasons why it is possible to reinstate the above listed staff and programs without having a millage election. 1. Both Barry and Eaton counties are paying the school district for the 1975 and 1976 delinquent taxes which will result in ■ an estimated additional in­ come for one year only of $113,817.00. It should be kept in mind that these funds will only be received this school year and additional funds will be necessary most likely in future school years. 2. The state aid act as approved will provide additional funds under the basic membership aid section estimated at $36,036.00 over the amount that would have been received in the membership aid formula listed in the the 1976­ 77 school aid act which also in­ cluded .the 77-78 school year. The school district will also receive $9,496 in state aid funds for a program covering additional membership allowance for students under court jurisdiction during the past school year. Considering the amount of additional funds being received through the additional state aid and county payment of delinquent taxes, it would have been possible for the board of education not to have levied the full amount of millage that was requested in June even if the millage had been approved.

(Maple Valley News Photo) Maple Valley board approves non-teaching contractsA two year contract with the school secretaries was approved at the regular meeting of the board of education held Monday, Augusts. At a special meeting of the board' of education held Wednesday, August 3, approval had b.een given two year con­ tracts with the cooks, tran­ sportation director and bus drivers, aides and playground personnel. The custodians are presently on the second year of a two year contract. The general increases in salaries will range from 7.72 percent to 10.1 percent depending upon the particular position held, and some em­ ployees received a higher in­ crement to be placed on a schedule comparable with other personnel within that non­ teaching area.

Ashley Diary, Inc. was the low bidder to supply pints of milk at the cost of .WH for white m’lk and .094 for chocolate milk. The low bid for gasoline was sub­ mitted by Gorman Cil Company. The present price on gasoline will be .453 for regular gasoline and .483 for no lead, and this price could vary during the school year. Bids were accepted on the three used school busses and 1973 Oldsmobile with the 1969 C bus selling for $1,268.01, 197OA for $1,568.01, and 1970 B for $2,252.00; and the 1973 Olds for $516.01. School lunches will remain the same cost to the students as during the 76-77 school year with elementary students paying 40 cents and Jr.-Sr. high school 45 cents. Adults will remain, at 65 cents. Reduced price lunches will be available at 20 cents to students that qualify under the federal guidelines as well as free lunches. Milk alone will cost the student 5 cents and adults 12 cents.

Wednesday August 17, 1977 — Peg* 4 No tillage demonstrations in Vermontville last Wednesday The importance of energy conservation was again em­ phasized by President Carter in his recent creation of a new cabinet post on energy. In tune with this national need, a No Tillage Field Day, sponsored by Michigan State University Cooperative Extension Service and Chevron Chemical Company, was held in Vermontville, August 10, to show farmers, agriculturerelated business people and agricultural educators on-the- farm farm demonstrations demonstrations of of No No Tillage corn, soybeans, alfalfa and legume pastures. Over 450 pp people attended the day long event. The demonstrations raons took oo place pace at a the e farms arms of Dan and Margaret Cook, The oudiences were Transported by farm wagon and tractors to seven different Demonstration stations during No-Tillage Field Day. (Maple Valley News Photo) Representatives from the M.S.U. Cooperative.Extension Service talk to farmers and agriculture-related businessmen about harvesting corn in wheat cover on the Dan Cook farm. (Maple Valley News Photo) We’ve Got We don't promise miracles for your hair, but we do promise Carroll Wells and Forrest and Elaine Gardner. “The No Tillage technique is the most significant technological development in com production in the United States in terms of conservation of soil and water, organic matter and energy,” states Dr. Sylvan H. Wittwer, Director of Ex­ periment Stations for Michigan State University and kick-off speaker for the No Tillage Field Day program. “There is the distinct advantage,” adds this internationally known 'scientist, “of less soil compaction, not to mention the possibility of in­ creased yield.” No Tillage is a revolutionary method of planting seed directly through chemically killed crop residue into soil which is untilled except for a narrow strip wide enough for the tender seedling to sprout. The no-tillage farming method was first introduced in the early 1960’s. “No tillage farming can conseve moisture, reduce erosion from both wind and water, reduces operational costs, and saves time and labor,” says Don Fields, a sales representative with the Chevron Company. “No tillage is the fastest growing farming method since the Hybrid Seed,” says Fields. “There are 100,000 acres of no tillage corn this year in Michigan. There were 70,000 acres in the state in 1976, and five years ago only 5,000 to 10,000 acres. This was the first year the no tillage demonstration plots were introduced to the three Ver­ montville farms. • “According to the United States Department of Agriculture,” continues Fields, “ninety-five percent of all agricultural land will be at least minimum till by the year 2000. And one out of every two farms will be no till for all crops.” According to Arthur H. Cratty, State Conservationist, Soil Conservation Service, who spoke on “Conservation Tillage” at the Field Day, No Tillage is the number one priority in the state for those involved in soil conservation. “And I don’t mean ‘minimum tillage;’ I mean ‘No Tillage,’ ” he emphatically pointed out earlier to Michigan Soil Conservation District directors. The savings in energy are great. Using conventional tillage methods a farmer plows, discs, harrows and drags before planting, requiring larger and heavier fuel-guzzling tractors to do the jobs than are needed to plant in a single operation with No Tillage. A chemical tool called Paraquat replaces the plow and disc in the No Tillage technique, killing the gunwanted plant growth p g which would compete with the crop for moisture and soil nutrients. Residual herbicides are applied at the same time, thus controlling both present and future competing weeds. The No Tillage method has other benefits. In heavier soils which dry out slowly, the time left for planting is shorter. With only one trip across the field needed, instead of the con­ ventional five, planting rather than plowing can be done as soon as the ground is ready. The op­ timum time is used for planting, not for preparing the soil. According to Warren Cook, Eaton County Extension Agent, Vermontville was selected as the site for the No Tillage Field Day for three reasons: its central location, its farmers who are open-minded and willing to try new things, and its range of sites available which would allow demonstrating No Tillage under adverse conditions. “No Tillage is a method of crop production farmers in Michigan need to know more about under Michigan’s glaciated conditions. Vermontville has cold soil that doesn’t warm up early-yet we have the best corn we’ve had in this area despite an extremely low rainfall, says Cook. This assessment is echoed by Carroll Wells who remarks that the No Tillage demonstration plot is the finest crop ever raised on his farm. Forrest and Elaine Gardner farm 500 acres near Ver­ montville. Forrest states “I’m really impressed with No Tillage in a dry Spring year.” District Conservationist Wendell Som­ mers notes that whenTieavy rains :ame the previous crop residue controlled erosion on the Gardiers’ rolling fields, allowing this /ear’s crop to utilize the water rather than losing it through runoff. Dan and Margaret Cook farm 1200 acres. One who believes in planning ahead, Dan Cook claims a farmer should be thinking of planting while bucking winter’s snow and “Be ready to plant corn on Christmas Day.” He finds No Tillage is especially beneficial on farms with “hills you need a ragweed and a rope to climb.” Proper adjustment of the planter is vital, he stresses, and says some farmers have poor success with No Tillage because they are in too much of a hurry to plant. Says his wife, Margaret, who is a full partner in field work with her husband, “There’s more to No Tillage than planting quickly and setting down for a cup of coffee.” “Maximum, production with maximum protection,” is how Dwight Quisenberry, Soil Conservation Service’s State Agronomist, sees No Tillage. He is convinced No Tillage can be used with every crop which is grown with conventional tillage. “We’ll have to develop new machinery macnery and an new chemicals, cemcas, and have to radically change Continued on page 1-0 PROFESSIONAL, KNOWLEDGEABLE SERVICE.

Closer in to shore, Browns are hitting 45 ft. down in 55 - 65 ft. of water. Perch have been fair to good. GRAND HAVEN - Bass, pike, bluegill, speckled bass and catfish fishing on this area’s bayous and rivers is good, reports the chamber of com­ merce. Lake Michigan is fair to good for salmon and Lake trout and poor for Steelhead and Brown trout and poor to good for perch. MUSKEGON -(Fishing here is very good but the fish have moved into deeper water - 70 - 90 ft. over a 150 ft. bottom, reports Capt. Ben Seehock of the Seahawk. Chinook, 12-25 lbs., are making up 50 percent of the catch along with Coho, Lake trout and Brown trout. Blue or green Jpjugs and Flutterspoons are best baits. WHITEHALL Fishermen here are landing good catches of Coho, up to 10 lbs., and Chinook, up to 35 lbs., according to Capt. Eugene Kuhne of White Lake Fishing Fleet. One boat took none fish in just a few hours. Best depth is 70-80 ft. down over a 100 ft. bottom.

Larger boats are coming in with 20 fish, and multiple hits are common. Coho and Chinook up to 31 lbs., make up the bulk of the catch, coming on red Dogers with a black fly, Happy Hookers, and Manistee Wobblers in 90 ft. of water, 40 ft. down. Chinook are starting to porpoise as they begin their imigration north. Brown trout are being caught near the end of the pier in early morning or late evening on blue and white little Cleos. LUDINGTON - This area has one of its greatest fish con- centrations in years, and although fog and bad weather kept most boats in port Sunday, fishing is excellent. There are “plenty of fish,” according to Tamarac Sports Fishing Dock, from south near the Consumers Power project to north of Point Sable.

Coho, showing up early in this area, along with Chinook and Steelhead are coming off Point Betsie, best on green and silver-blue Clattertads. Panfishing is very good in the lower Platte river and bass and pike are up and down on area lakes. TRAVERSE CITY - Fishermen are catching a variety of fish as fishing continues good here, reports the chamber of com­ merce. In East bay, lake trout are hitting on Johnson spoons in 120 ft. of water; Brown trout are scattered in 50-60 ft.; and Chinook, up to 25 lbs., are hitting at 100 ft. At Good Hope bay in the Leland area, anglers are having good luck with Brown trout, Steelhead, and Lake trout. ATTENTION - PARTY PLAN TOYS - GIFTS - JEWELRY. Highest Commissions - Largest selection!

A primitive campground means there is no electricity or modern bath facilities. The primitive license allows for 25 camp sites. According to Mrs. Gillaspie, the campground could be modern in another year or so, with a modern bath-house, electricity, and up to 150 sites. In the future, the Gillaspies may add another additional 150 primitive campsites. There are tentative plans to build a mini­ golf course and driving range. Presently the Gillaspies rent canoes to be taken down the Thoranpple River, which travels three-quarters of a mile through their property. Bud plans to clear out some log jams so canoers can travel from M-50 to Grand Rapids if they wish. With the slow flow of the river in the area, the canoers just paddle up stream in the meantime. The campground also includes several nature trails, where wild ducks, deer, and huge turtles can be seen. There is a pavillion built near the river that has been used for several square dances. The lights are run off a generator. Bud started construction on the campground in March of this year. This pavillion was constructed for square dances and any other activity that should arise. (Maple Valley News Photo) The Ponderosa Campground, south of Vermontville is now open for primitive camping. Bud Gillaspie received the primitive camping license July 1.

Because No Tillage is new, many farmers are overly critical of it. “They see problems in No Tillage fields and neglect to check that the same problems exist in conventionally tilled fields,” he comments. Those who say No Tillage is not for flat lands are wrong, Quisenberry remarks, as No Tillage is the answer to wind erosion problems. Michigan State University was a pioneer in No Tillage, developing if not the first then one of the first self-propelled No Tillage planters in the early 1960’s. Three years ago, when interest in No Tillage was at a low ebb, Michigan State University and Soil Conservation Service held a No Tillage (Conference to stimulate interest in this con­ servation technique. The Ver­ montville No Tillage Field Day is a further effort in this direction. That it involves cooperation between many segments of the agricultural industry obviously pleases Quisenberry and is seen Continued from page 6 by him as a hopeful sign. While the benefits of No Tillage are conservation of soil, water, organic matter and energy, the careful No Tillage farmer can hope for good yields as a bonus. Extension Agent Cook and State Agronomist Quisenberry assessed the potential yield of corn in a No Tillage plot Stan­ ding in corn that tassled far above their heads, they used a calculator and a formula worked out by the University of Illinois to determine that the potential yield was a hefty 155 bushels to the acre. Since the development of ex­ perimental No Tillage planting equipment at Michigan State University in the early 1960*s, No Tillage has come a long way with both more sophisticated planters and more sophisticated chemical tools available in the market today. While some farm machinery companies are seen as holding back so as to sell more expensive bigger tractors for conventional tillage, Agronomist Quisenberry points out that other machinery companies have become promoters of No Tillage by developing and marketing specialized No Tillage equip­ ment. Participants in the No. Tillage Field Day were able to view displays of the latest equipment at the Dan Cook farm including a John Deere Power Til Seeder, a Melroe 701 No-Till Drill, a Midland Zip Seeder, a Tye-Pasture Pleaser and four brands of No Tillage corn planters, as well as the newlydeveloped chemical tools used in the No Tillage technique. No ivory tower experiments, all chemicals used in these on-thefarm demonstration plots have already been labeled, have recommendations and are commercially available to far­ mers now. includes the board members from the five high school districts and intermediate school district. The officers in this association rotate each year amongst the various school districts. Pat O'Brien accepted the position as assistant director of transportation and personnel at a salary of $11,100 per year. General fund bills in the amount of $24,462.30 were ap­ proved for payment. The July 15 payroll in the amount of $10,988.38 and the July 29 payroll in the amount of $10,795.70 were approved for payment and transfer to the payroll account. Today, I’d like to chat about fishing worms. Now before some of you saltwater sportsmen or big-bass types get the idea this is going to be a stan stan-­ dard dissertation on nightcrawlers, 1 think I oughta straighten you out. There’s more to this worm business than meets the eye. A few years ago I went to Colombia with a batch of big-game tackle tto catch a bagre. In those days nei­ ther I or the rest ofthe angling world knew much about (his species of fish, but I had heard that they grew as long as a dugout canoe and had a 'mouth the size of a wash tub. Fur­ thermore, they occasionally snatched up a wash woman or kid splashing around at the river’s edge. That’s about all I knew about the subject. I didn’t even know what kind of bait to use for bagre. And ofcourse,, I wasn’t about to Walk up to some nice native lady and ask her if I could borrow her chubby threeyear-old to catch a helluva big fish with. So I looked up the local Braniff akirline guy, who is supposed to know what goes on in this part ofthe world, and asked the obvious ques­ tion. “What would you recommend for bagre?” “How about a worm,” he an­ swered. "You gotta be kidding,” I told him. “To catch the kind of fish I’m looking for would take a bushel basket full ofthe biggest nightcrawlers alive.” This dapper Latin American airline feller shook his head sadly. “I can see you don’t know much about South American worms. I suggestthat we go out and dig a few.” The next day we headed for the hills, where we ran into an old man with a burro. He also had a couple of cousins with strong backs. So after we rounded up some spading forks we hiked further up the grassy slope to what was supposed to be worm habitat. There our guide pointed at a hole in the ground which was a full eight inches in diameter. “You’ve got to be kidding,” I said. But he wasn’t. The burro man's two cousins started digging like a pair ofprairie dogs, and pretty soon the end of what looked like a firee hose was protuding from the ground. ‘‘Grab hold,” the Braniff feller said, and made a lunge for whatt was supposed to be- the worm’s tail. Overcoming my shock, I gave him a hand and with two ofus pulling and the other two digging we soon had a six-foot nightcrawler squirming around on that Andes slope. After lunch we dug three more ofthe critters, which was all the burro could carry. I was so tuckered out from dig­ ging worms at an elevation of 10,000 feet that I wasn’t up to bagre fishing for a few days. And in the mean­ time, my trophy sized Worms up and died on me. So I never caught a 500pound bagr.e on that trip. The story is true though. There are more of these big worms where these came from, and I can Vouch for the fact that digging these critters is almost as sporting as catching a fish large enough to swallow one.

Nash (R-Diinondale) reported that recently hearings were held by the House Taxation Com­ mittee to give businessmen in Michigan the opportunity to tell the committee about the problem they were having with the Single Business Tax. "As a result of those hearings, the Taxation Committee reached agreement on several changes in the SBI that will provide more equity to small and labor­ intensive businesses. "Changing the SBT is a top priority for the fall legislative session and it looks like the committee will have legislation ready for us to consider early in the fall session,” Rep. Nash stated. < Major changes proposed by the committee include: -increasing the small business low profit deduction from $36,000 to $40,000. -limiting the compensation portion of the business tax base to 60 percent as opposed to the current 65 percent. —providing a simple alter­ native method of filing estimated tax payments to allow businesses to pay one percent of gross receipts either monthly or quarterly instead of the actual tax due. There were also amendments proposed by the committee that are of a technical nature. The adjustments proposed by the committee are estimated to cause a $60 million reduction in .revenue from the SBT, which the committee has agreed to make up by raising the existing depreciation included in the tax base to 90 percent. This means that fixed, taxable assets that were depreciated before the implementation of the SBT would be added back into the tax base at 90 percent of their value. Another important change proposed by the committee is the removal of worker’s com­ pensation and unemployment compensation costs from the compensation portion of the tax base. Provisions in the original SBT Act to encourage business ex­ pansion with a 100 percent firstyear capital investment writeoff were left intact. “There is little doubt thpt the SBT changes will be made. We’ve been working on reforming the SBT since it went into effect and we began hearing from the business community about the problems it created for them,” Rep. Nash concluded.

Your child is probably eager and at the same time fearful of this new dimension to be added to life, but you can help. “Before the first day of school, visit the school the child will be attending,” suggests Doris Richardson, County Extension director and Extension Home Economist. “Make an ap­ pointment with the principal or the kindergarten teacher and find out what they expect the children to learn and do the first year.” Many schools have a kin­ dergarten program that is similar to that of nursery school where activities are designed for learning through play ex­ periences. Other schools have kindergarten programs that require sitting still for rather long periods of time and working with pencil and paper. When you know what the school will expect, you can determine if your child is ready to attend school. ‘‘Parents should feel comfortable in helping school personnel decide if their child is mature enough to be in school,” says Mrs. Richardson. Consider how long your >child can comfortably sit still and take care of needs -- button shirts, tie shoes and snap wearing apparel, for example. Probably most important of all is for your child to feel fairly self-confident about being away from home and you. Even if your child is ready for school, there is a charice that heshe doesn’t know what school is all about. If your child will be a “walker,” go over the route and give lessons in safety. You can teach how: 1. To take the shortest and safest route. 2. To walk on the side walk in the city, or on the left side of the road, facing traffic, in the country. 3. To cross the street only at corners - never from between parked cars. 4. To obey traffic lights and to listen to the policeman and street crossing guard. 5. To be extra careful on rainy or slippery days. If children will be riding to school, they should learn to watch when getting in and out of the bus, to stay in their seats and be well behaved, and to refuse all rides with people they don’t know.

How to cut your doctor billsThe cost of treating a serious illness or accidental injury most often is unanticipated and always is unwanted. Often it is not in­ cluded in the family financial plan and often it presents an extra expense on top of an already tight budget. Like all other living expenses, the price of medical treatment has risen in recent years. But, says the American Medical Association, there are still a number of ways in which you can stretch your medical dollar and at the same time get stretch your medical dollar and at the same time get better protection for yourself and your family. Have a family doctor. He will keep a permanent record of your medical history, which may save duplicating many expensive and time-consuming tests. He will know your background and be better able to tell promptly if anything is wrong. Don’t wait too long. Many people try to save money on medical bills by not seeing the doctor until they are seriously ill. This not only defeats the purpose of preventive medicine, the only sound way to preserve your health, but it also is more ex­ pensive in the long run. Have regular checkups. Early detection obviously offers a better chance to control and cure disease. , to the doctor’s' dffice. House calls are not only more ex­ pensive, they also are less ef­ ficient. Without his office equipment and his trained staff, your physician cannot perform a complete examination. The doctor can give you better care, sooner’ and at less expense in his For Notices, News items, Want-Ads 945-9554 TODAY!

This not only saves money but also often makes good medical sense. A family'doctor who has examined you regularly can sometimes advise you over the phone about minor health problems. For anything that seems serious he will ask you to come to his office to be examined. Follow your doctor’s orders. If you refuse to follow the advice you solicit and pay for, you are throwing your money away. Buy health insurance. Health insurance is a bargain con­ sidering the shattering effects on the family finances that prolonged illness can have. Buy as much as you can afford but especailly protect yourself against the catastrophic ex­ penses of serious illness. Take allowable tax deductions. Doctor bills, hospital bills and drug costs not covered by in­ surance, and beyond a certain percentage of your income, may be claimed as deductions for tax purposes.

Michigan’s ethnic heritage is this year’s theme. Headquarters for the 1977 annual meeting will be Point West, a resort located between Lake Michigan and Lake Macatawa. Registration is scheduled for late Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, September 15 and 16. Friday’s sessions include discussions of the Implications of 19th Century Dutch Immigration, moderated by Frances X. Blouin of the Bentley Historical Library, The University of Michigan; Ethnic History and the Com­ munity Museum, chaired by Michael J. Smith, Chief of Museum Programs, Michigan History Division; and a slide-tape presentation of the Germans in Kalamazoo: A Community Case Study with" comments by Dr. ,Elizabeth M.

A special highlight following the Past President’s banquet on Friday night is the Clarence M. Burton Memorial Lecture. In 1957, as a result of a generous grant by the Burton Foundation, the Historical Society of Michigan inaugurated the Clarence M. Burton Memorial Lecture in honor of the Detroit historian, founder of the Burton Historical Collection, and past president of the Society. Since that time outstanding scholars have been invited to address the annual meetings. Dr. Jan Willem Schulte Nordholt will deliver the 1977 Burton Lecture entitled, ’’Dutch American Relations During the Revolutionary Era.” Dr. Schulte Nordholt is the only professor of American History in the Kingdom of The Netherlands, occupying a chair at the University of Leiden, which was founded by William of Orange in the year 1575. During World War II, Dr. Schulte Nordholt was a political prisoner in Germany for a year, but was returned safely. A special feature of Saturday’s program will be the presentation of the Society’s 1977 Awards of Merit. The awards program, was created to recognize persons and organizations who have made outstanding contributions to the understanding and appreciation of state and local history in Michigan. Among last year’s winners was Bruce Catton, voted Civil War historian and PulitzerPrize winning author from Benzonia. In addition to Holland’s Klompen Dancers, another en­ tertainment attraction will ex­ plore Michigan’s folk music traditions. Robert Fleck, director of the Save the Last Dance film project, will discuss and perform folk dance music brought to Michigan by early European settlers. Fleck plays the fiddle and the dulcimer and has spent a major portion of the past two years making films in an effort to preserve folk dance music in the state. Persons wishing to attend the annual meeting can send for a detailed program and registration form. Deadline for advance registration is Thur­ sday, September 1.

With the start of another school year approaching, many parents are considering major meat purchases for the freezer. If you’re one of these, officials of the Michigan Department of Agriculture's Food Inspection division have some important reminders. Major considerations before you do any buying for a freezer should be cost and what your family likes in the way of meat cuts. As far as cost, be aware of the Michigan law that regulates the advertising and sale of bulk meats. The law says the seller must give you a written statement specifying the initial weight of the carcass or primal cut purchased. He must also put down the type of animal or carcass section, such as loin, rib or chuck, and he must give you an estimate of the price per pound of the final weight after cutting loss, including the charge for packaging and freezing. Also, if the seller cuts the meat, the statement must show the weight of each cut. All prices advertised by the seller must include the estimated net price per pound, including all cost- of the delivered product. That’s the cost consideration. As for preference, a side of beef includes a variety of cuts, ranging from steaks and roasts to ground beef, stew meat and soup bones. Be ready to fix the entire assortment to please the family. Remember, too, that some cuts come in greater quantity so plan your menus in such a way as to not bore everyone with, say, 10 days of beef stew. An excellent booklet on buying beef for the freezer is now available. It has wrapping tips, a beef chart, freezing information and much more. For your free copy, just write “Freezer Beef,” Michigan Beef Industry Com­ mission, 805 Stoddard Building, Lansing 48933. It’s really a great guide. W|BJKI.b||| i foitaiiM < Party Chicken Divan win!

Remember them September 5,1977 'Labor Day'. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Wednesday August 31, 1977 -- Page 2 Drivers are encouraged to be careful and obey the rules around school busesEven though school buses have proven to be a reliable and safe, method of travel, the traffic safety dangers involved in transporting one million students 125 million miles this school year in Michigan are considerable, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. “Since school-aged children are unpredictable and impulsive, it is important that motorists be extra > alert, expecially for the 160,000 students starting kin­ dergarten this September,” said Arthur C. Gibson, Auto Club’s Safety and Traffic Engineering manager. “About 40 percent of the state’s 2.5 million students in grades kindergarten through 12 ride buses to class,” pointed out Gibson, who urged motorists, including school bus drivers, to drive cautiously and reduce their speed in school areas. Through its “School’s Open­ Drive Carefully” campaign, now in its 31st year, Auto Club promotes the importance of traffic safety to motorists, parents and students during the school year. “It is essential that those three groups take the necessary safety steps to help Michigan cut down on traffic deaths and injuries involving school-aged children,” Gibson stated. In the 1976-77 school year, five youngsters lost their lives in busrelated accidents, an increase of two deaths over the previous year. Another 72 school-aged pedestrians (aged 5 to 14 years) were killed last year-many of them while walking to and from school. “Many of these deaths occured because students were unaware of the danger of crossing streets to and from school and because motorists were inattentive or driving too fast for conditions,” Gibson explained. Auto Club warned that rear-end collisions occur too frequently because drivers realize too late that vehicles in front of them have stopped for school buses. “The presence of a school bus should be a warning to motorists that traffic may come to a stop and they should be prepared to take similar action,” Gibson said. He recalled one tragic accident in which a 6-year-old youngster was killed last year when he crossed in front of a school bus and was struck by a car that failed to stop for the flashing red lights of the bus. Auto Club suggests that parents teach children these simple rules Jor riding the bus or walking to school: ..Walk only on the sidewaljf. If there is none, walk facing traffic on the shoulder of the road. ..Watch for turning cars and never cross between parked vechicles. ..Leave home in plenty of time to arrive at the bus stop and stay well off the roadway while waiting to be picked up. ..Remain seated while the bus is moving and keep hands and arms inside at all times. ..After leaving the bus, walk at least 10 steps ahead of it before crossing the road, waiting for the driver to signal it is safe. Never cross at the back of the bus. Motorists are reminded to be extra cautious When seeing a bus in the distance since children running to catch it sometimes forget to look before crossing roadways. Drivers also should stop at least 10 feet in front or in back of a bus when it is picking up or dropping off children on any road without barriers or dividers between lanes. That is a state law.

When school buses are boarding or unloading children, such as the three students shown here, Automobile Club of Michigan reminds motorists to stop at least 10 feet in front or in back of the bus. During the 1976­ 77 school year in Michigan, five youngsters died in bus-related accidents, two more than the previous year, and 72 school-aged pedestrians were killed. Children unaccustomed to the dangers of crossing streets and motorists who were inattentive or driving too fast for conditions caused many of the deaths.

MICHIGAN: The fall crop potato acreage for harvest is placed at 33,000 acres, 3 percent less than last year, according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. This quantity is 1,000 less acres than dug last year, but 4,000 more than harvested in 1975. Light rainfall has caused growers to make full use of irrigation equipment, however, recent rains in Montcalm county were helpful. A suminer potato crop of 1.4 million cwt.

Due to the LABOR DAY Weekend all news and advertising should be in our office by Saturday at 3 p.m. for that week's issue, Thank You- PUBLIC INVITED State Representative Ernest Nash (R-Dimondale) today termed a proposal by State Senator David Holmes (DDetroit) to dismantle the State Police is ludicrous. Holmes proposed Thursday that the State Police he assigned to highway patrol duties only and scatter the various functions performed by the agency to other state departments? He also proposed that the State Police authority to conduct criminal investigations and make criminal arrests be abolished. Nash said if the Holmes proposal ever comes about it would be disastrous to the people of the State of Michigan. “Michigan has the finest state police organization in all 50 states. It is acclaimed by the other police agencies throughout the United States as being number one. “We have one of the best crime labs in the world. The people of the State of Michigan, through public opinion polls, have for several years acclaimed the state police to be number one as far as they were concerned,” Nash said. Nash, a former member of the Michigan State Police force, said he feels the people receive more for their tax dollar from the state police than any other agency in state government. “So, when an elected official who has been around as long as Senator Holmes has and one who is in the powerful position he is in so See UsFor...

Wednesday August 31.1977 -- Page 9 Dry soils limit prospective yields Soil moisture during July was generally short for optimum development of fall harvested crops, according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. The all hay yield forecast is down sharply from previous years, while forecasts for corn and other fall harvested crops are below optimum yields. Thunderstorms and scattered showers brought highly variable amounts of rain from one locality to another during July. Because of unusually dry-sub-soils, July rainfall was insufficient for optimum crop development. As of August 1, soil moisture sup­plies were still short in most off the State. However, moderate to heavy rains in early Augustt brought much needed moisture to most of the Lower Peninsula. Forecast for the various crops are given below: CORN FOR GRAIN: A large MEN—WOMEN Immediate openings in Europe.

Call Army Opportunities 543-1757 An Equal Opportunity Employer acreage for harvest is expected to produce a record setting 154 million bushels of corn this year. The yield forecast of 75 bushels per acre is 8 bushels below the record high yield of 1972, but 6 bushels above last year’s low yield. The 2,050,000 acres for harvest as grain equals that record high set last year. DRY BEANS: The first forecast for the season is 5,923,000 hundredweight (cwt.), 21 percent larger than the 1976 crop and 27 percent above the 1975 crop. The 515,000 acres for harvest is down 10,000 acres from last year. Dry soils during July limited plant growth in some of the growing area. However, below normal temperatures during the last week of July were favorable for setting pods. Good plant growth is common across the growing region. The yield forecast of 11.5 cwt. compares with the poor yields of 9.3 cwt. obtained in 1976 and 9.0 cwt. for 1975. SOYBEANS: A crop of 17.3 million bushels is forecast, 49 percent larger than last year’s crop. The 720,000 acres for harvest is up 27 percent from 1976, while the yield forecast of 24 bushels is 17 percent higher than last year’s low yield. Crop growth has been exceptional. WINTER WHEAT: A winter wheat crop of 37.2 million bushels is now forecast, only one percent smaller than last year’s crop and 4 percent below 1975 production. Growers were pleasantly sur­ prised at the high yields obtained this year. Early June rains came at just the right time to fill heads with plump kernels. Many growers indicated this was the biggest wheat crop they ever combined: SUGARBEETS: The first forecast for this year is 1.5 million tons, only slightly more than produced last year. A shortage of soil moisture during July limited growth in many areas. A yield of 18 tons per acre is forecast. Early August rains have been a blessing. OATS: A crop of 18 million bushels is now forecast, 8 percent smaller than last year’s crop and 13 percent below the 1975 level. The 360,000 acres for harvest as grain this year is down 25,000 acres from last year. Dry soils limited development in much of the growing area. The 50 bushel yield forecast is down one bushel from last year. POTATOES: A summer crop of 1,443 cwt. is expected this year, up 12 percent from 1976, and 3 percent larger than the 1975 crop. Harvesting started about^ mid­ July. Fall potato acreage is placed at 33,000 acres. HAY: A small crop of all hay, 2.5 million tons is forecast, 17 percent smaller than the 1976 crop and 24 percent less than produced in 1975. Dry soils during the May-July period sharply reduced yields, especially in the northern Lower Peninsula. FRUIT: The first forecast for plums and grapes point towards a near average plum crop, but a small grape crop. However, the 15,000 tons of plums and 26,000 tons of grapes exceed last year's production. The apple forecast, 540 million pounds, is 12 percent larger than the 1976 crop, but 23 percent smaller than the 1975 crop. The peach crop forecast was reduced to 65 million pounds, and is now 62 percent above 1976 production, but equal to the large 1975 crop.

Let's take a look this week at the departments of highways and transportation, labor, licensing and regulation, management and budget, and military affairs. Listed are the addresses and telephone numbers of these departments so that you may contact them personally if you ever need to do so in the future. Highways and Transportation: Figuring out the most efficient way to get you from “here" to “there” is the primary respon- sibility of the State Department of Highways and Transportation. The Department oversees all transportation facilities in Michigan, including highways, railroads, airports, ports, bicycle paths, and all forms of public transit, and works with local governments in planning and designing transportation facilities and the federal government in obtaining maximum federal aid for state transportation projects. Your contribution to highways funding comes from the gasoline tax on each gallon of fuel you purchase and the vehicle weight tax upon which the price of your license plates is based.

Highways Building. Box 30050. Lansing. ML 48909 or call: (517 ) 373-2090. Labor: If you have ever been laid off from work or injured on the job. you have probably already come in contact with the State Department of Labor. The Department administers the state’s unemployment compensation system, operates employment offices statewide, processes benefit claims for employees injured in workrelated accidents, and regulates agricultural and construction employment activities in the state. You can contact this Department by looking under “Michigan, State of” in the telephone directory for most major cities or by writing to: Department of Labor, Lansing Office, Leonard Plaza, 309 N. Washington, Box 30015, Lansing, MI. 48909. Telephone: (517) 373­ 9600. Licensing and Regulation: Some 335,000 persons tri Michigan are currently licensed by the State Department of Licensing and Regulation to perform the tasks of their various professions. These professions include accountants, architects, barbers, professional community plan­ ners, cosmetologists, professional engineers, foresters, hearing aid dealers, horologists, landscape architects, land surveyors, marriage counselors, mortuary scientists, nursing home administrators, private employment bureau operators, real estate brokers and salesmen, residential builders, sanitarians, social workers, and the members of every medical profession.

Washington Avenue, Box 30018, Lansing, MI. 48909, or you may call (517) 373­ 1866. Management and Budget: The Department of Management and Budget is state government’s internal ad­ ministrative office. Its employees prepare the Governor’s annual state budget, conduct ongoing analyses of state programs, maintain state buildings, purchase needed office equipment, and administer retirement programs for public school employees, state and municipal employees, and judges. Also operating within this Department is the Michigan Veterans’ Trust Fund, which provices information and assistance to Michigan veterans and their dependents, the Office of Services to the Aging, which coordinates senior citizens programs across the state, and various other specialized com­ missions. Contact this Department and its separate divisions by writing: Department of Management arid Budget. Cass Building 1st Floor. Box 30026, Lansing, MI. 48909. Telephone: (517 ) 3734004. Military Affairs: Our nation is at peace, but the need for trained military per­ sonnel remains to assist in the event that a natural disaster should occur and to preserve public order and safety. The State Department of Military Affairs maintains the 13,000-member —Michigan National Guard to provide these services to our citizens and ad­ ministers the Vietnam Veterans Era Bonus program. To obtain information about the Michigan National Guard, contact: Department of Military Affairs, 2500 S. Washington Avenue, Lansing, MI. 48913, Telephone: (517) 373-0372. If you are physically or men­ tally ill, or need temporary financial assistance, you can turn to your state government for help. Three principal state depart­ ments receive funding each year to provide these services to Michigan residents. This week’s report, the third in my series on state government, is devoted to explaining the ser­ vices provided by the depart­ ments of mental health, public health, and social services. I have also included their ad­ dresses and telephone numbers to contact if you require their services. (My past two reports covered the services of the departments of agriculture, attorney general, civil rights, civil service, com­ merce, corrections, education, highways and transportation, labor, licensing and regulation, management and budget, and military affairs.) MENTAL HEALTH Helping persons who are mentally handicapped to lead productive lives is a major goal of the State Department of Mental Health. The Department oversees community-based programs and services which are offered throughout the state for Michigan citizens. Under a 1963 Act, any county or combination of counties may establish a community health service board to provide services for the prevention of mental illness and the treatment of the mentally ill and mentally retarded at the community level. The state then reimburses the local boards for up to 75 percent of the operating costs of all ap­ proved board programs. Institutionalized care is also provided by I he Department to patients requiring more intensive care at such facilities as the Alpine Center in Gaylord, the Lafayette Clinic in Detroit, and the State Hospitals in Ionia, Kalamazoo. Newberry. Nor­ thville. Traverse City, and Yp­ silanti. Last year, more than 200,000 episodes of mental problems were treated by the state's public mental health system and private psychiatric hospitals.

They include laboratory testing of methods of controlling com­ municable, chronic, and dental diseases, inspections of public water supplies, and coordination of therapy relating to alcohol and drug abuse. The Department also works with health care facilities to help hold down the cost of providing quality medical care and to assure accountability in the state’s Medicaid program for the needy. Once the new Public Health Code is enacted, the Department will be closely involved with local health departments in deter­ mining on an annual basis “basic” health care services which must be provided to all Michigan citizens. The Code, which draws together all of Michigan’s health statutes into one comprehensive law, has passed the House and is expected to. win Senate approval this fall. You can find out more about the health care services available to you by contacting your local health department or by writing to: Department of Public Health, 3500 N. Logan, Box 30035, Lan­ sing, MI 48909 or by calling (517) 373-1343. SOCIAL SERVICES Those who are truly needy may call upon the State Department of Social Services for temporary financial assistance. The major programs offered by the Department are aid to dependant children (ADC), general assistance (GA), medical assistance (MA), sup­ plemental security income (SSI) and food stamps. provides ■The ADC program pro financial assistance for the support of children who are under 18\years of age and deprived of one or both parents. The amount of support allowed is determined by the number of children in the family and the funding needed to meet the family’s basic needs. TheiGA program is ah income support program which provides financial aid and services to needy individuals and families who do not qualify for, or who are awaiting determination of eligibility for, other categorical assistance programs. It is generally viewed as a temporary relief program. To qualify for the MA program, an applicant must be either categorically or medically needy. In other words, a person must have a very limited or no income, which would qualify him or her for other assistance programs, or have a greatly reduced income resulting from a chronic or catastrophic health problem. A variety of medical services are provided, including inpatient and outpatient hospitalization, laboratory, radiology, home health, pharmaceuticals, am­ bulance, limited vision and psychiatric care, and skilled and basic nursing services. The SSI program provides assistance to eligible persons who are 65 years of age or older, blind, or disabled, while the food stamp program assists low-income households to purchase a nutritionally adequate diet. Various other 'programs are provided by the Department for the benefit of families, adults, children, and youth. These services include adop­ tion, 'day care, education and training, employment, family planning, homemaker, housing improvement. counseling, mental health treatment and rehabilitation. mo ney management, placement and protective services for children and adults, and transportation. In addition, the Department works with delinquent youths at the Adrian Training school in Adrian; the Arbor Heights Center in Ann Arbor, the five W. J.

Janet has her Bachelor of Arts degree in education and Masters of Arts degree in environmental education from Michigan State University. She had taught in Battle Creek for four years. She received her M.A. from M.S.U. this past spring. Bob also has his B.A. and M.A. from M.S.U. He majored in Crops and Soils and minored in vocational education. He had worked at E.W. Bliss in Hastings until six years ago when he decided to go back to college on the G.I. Bill. Besides going to school, he has also been farming the last six years. The Kalnbachs applied to join the Peace Corps two years ago. They were initially accepted in April this year. Since that time they have had medical and dental examinations, and their references and passports had to be okayed. Needless to say, there is alot of red tape and paperwork involved in going with the Peace Corps to another country. “We decided to join the Peace Corps to learn about other people and cultures,” said Janet. “We also wanted to take what knowledge we have to these people. “We will have a living allowance and have certain savings, but we won’t be living any better than the lowest-paid professionals, y We won’t be getting rich. “We’re aren’t afraid of going, it’s just ap exciting, busy time, with the renting of our house here and the anticipation of the trip and all.” The Kalnbachs also have two older children, Doug, 20, of Hastings, and Dave, 18, in the United States Air Force. When Bob and Janet return from their adventure in Africa in 1979, they plan to settle back into the normal routine of teacher and farmer at least for alittle while. Bob and Janet Kalnbach and their youngsters Sandy, 13, and Chuck, 12, are now on their way to Lesotho, Africa, with the Peace Corps.

Wednesday September 7,1977 - Page 2 West Michigan Fishing REPORT: Coho and Chinook salmon are schooling in relatively shallow water off most Lake Michigan port cities in preparation for fall spawning runs and fishing is expected to be very good over the Labor Day Weekend, it is reported by West Michigan Tourist Association. Following are south-to-north reports on angling compiled today by the tourist association from charter boat captains, sport shops and chambers of com­ merce: SOUTH HAVEN-Fishing here ranges from good to excellent, reports Capt. Fernan Gruber of Big Foot Charter Service. Perch are excellent and large. King and Coho salmon, Steelhead and Browns are good in 27-42 ft. of water over a 45-55 ft. bottom. Dodger and fly comginations, Jplugs, Big Heads and Raps are best baits. A few Steelhead and Brown trout have moved into the Black river. GRAND HAVEN-Most boats were weathered off Lake Michigan over the weekend and fishing was rated as fair to good in the “big lake” by the chamber of commerce. Bass, pike, bluegills and specs were fair to good in Grand river and its bayous. On Lake Michigan best action for Coho, Chinook, Lake trout, Browns and Steelhead is 15­ 20 ft. down over a bottom ranging from 35 to 80 ft. One 37 lb. King salmon was taken last week. Perch action is up and down. MUSKEGON-The run of Coho and Chinook salmon is building here and is providing excellent fishing, reports Capt.

PENTWATER-Fish that were close to shore have moved to deeper water as the water temperature “turned over,” according to the chamber of commerce. Salmon are hitting at 90 ft. over a 140 ft. bottom on JPlugs, Happy Hookers, and Pentwater spoons. Great con­ centrations of fish are appearing in early morning and evening just outside the harbor, and some anglers are landing Coho off the pier.

Wednesday September 7,1977 - Page 3 A weekly report from: Senator Richard Allen Part-1: STATE GOVERNMENT: WORKING FOR YOU The four departments to be discussed in this final installment in my summer series on state government provide services which are used by nearly every Michigan resident. They are the departments of natural resources, state, state police, and treasury. For example, every time you visit a state park, renew your driver’s license, drive on a Michigan freeway, and send in your state income tax return, you are utilizing the services these departments have to offer. A brief summary of the major programs conducted by these departments and a listing of how you may contact them follows: NATURAL RESOURCES: NATURAL RESOURCES: You need only look around you to realize why Michigan has become known as a leader among states in the effort to preserve our environment. Our natural resources are bountiful and are one of the most important reasons why our state attracts more than 20 million visitors annually. Much of the credit for this distinction is due to the efforts of the State Department of Natural Resources (DNR). The Department is composed of various divisions which are responsible for assuring that our air and waters are free of pollution, planning for the future wise use of our lands, and protecting our forests and grasslands across the state. In addition, the state parks,Tn which thousands of Michigan residents and visitors camp each year, are maintained by this Department, which also oversees the state’s wildlife resources and recommends rules for hunting and trapping seasons.

IV77 - Page 4 Four 1977 Michigan Salmon Guide Two million Coho and Chinook schooling in Michigan rivers, bays and lakes, ready for the fishermenThe wary pink salmon should provide bonus fall fishing for the more than 500.000 salmon addicts concentrating on two million coho and chinook schooling off 35 Michigan rivers, bays and lakes, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. The pink, or humpback, spawns every two years and is returning to tributaries of Lakes Superior, Michigan and Huron. Many of those fish, plus more than a million coho ranging up to 25 pounds and chinook averaging 30 pounds, should be taken at rivers, lakes and bays listed on Auto Club’s 1977 salmon fishing guide. Runs of at least three-year-old silvery salmon already are converging on spawning streams and should provide optimum Great Lakes and stream angling through mid-November. State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) officials also are hopeful of a strong salmon fishery in Southeast Michigan, especially in the Detroit River where chinook runs were disappointing the past two seasons. DNR officials are hopeful that a new chemical used to imprint salmon smolts and to be released into the river off Belle Isle will help mature chinook “home in." The new imprint chemical along with increased fishing pressure may help avoid the problem encountered last year, when the fish were near death by the time salmon schools were located, Auto Club stated. Sportsmen looking for an early salmon fishery should be ready to go after the pinks in early Sep- tember, Auto Club advised. The small but powerful pinks were planted inadvertently into Lake Superior by Canada in 1956. Now they are established firmly as the world’s only naturally reproducing freshwater pink salmon. The state record is just over two pounds. Humpback schools are ex­ panding southward each year and at least one good Lower Peninsula run is expected in Lake Huron’s Ocqueoc River. Other significant runs should appear in Upper Michigan’s Presque Isle, Huron and Laughing Whitefish rivers along Lake Superior, and possibly in the Carp River on Lake Huron and in the Ford and Manistique river? and Thompson Creek along Lake Michigan. Most pinks are taken in streams, where flies or small spoons and spinners can provoke strikes from spawners. Stealth is required. These fish are disturbed easily, but once caught, filleted and cooked, many anglers agree pinks are tastier table fare than either coho or chinook salmon. Plans to weir off portions of several rivers from spawning coho and chinook salmon will not affect runs of pink salmon. Weirs to help control snagging and salmon straying from other streams are planned in West Michigan for the Pere Marquette and Jordan rivers and Bear Creek. DNR egg-taking weirs will be operated this year on the lower Platte and Little Manistee rivers as well. East Michigan’s Van Etten Creek, an Au Sable River tributary near Oscoda, also will be barred to spawning salmon MYCITRACIN Antibiotic Ointment 7a oz.

East Michigan’s best salmon stream should be the AuSable, where returns from plants of 200,000 coho and 400,000 chinook salmon should soon be jamming the river mouth near Oscoda. Fish will run to Foote Dam in large numbers in September. Large chinook runs also are expected in Harrisville Harbor, the Au Gres River and the Ocqueoc River-Nagle Creek area north of Rogers City. A good run of coho and bonuses of steelhead, lake and brown trout are ex­ pected again in Tawas Bay and off two Thumb-area streams — Diamond Creek near Port Hope and Elk Creek at Sanilac State Park in Sanilac County. Large chinook and coho runs are expected in the St. Joseph, Kalamazoo, Grand and Muskegon rivers and in tributaries along Lake Michigan. The lower Pere Marquette and the Big Sable River near Ludington also are good bets. Anglers in small boats should try for coho in the sheltered waters of Portage Lake north of Manistee as well as in Manistee, White and Muskegon lakes. Lake Superior’s best bets for both coho and chinook include the Black, Presque Isle, Huron and Dead rivers. The Presque Isle and Huron also should have good runs of pink salmon. Sections of certain streams are open again this year to “liberalized" fishing regulations, allowing anglers to keep foulhooked Pacific salmon from Sept. 1 to Dec, 31. Fishermen are restricted to using unweighted double or treble hooks no more than threeeights inch from point to shank or single hooks no more than onehalf inch from point to shank. For dates and sections open on each stream, contact any DNR office.

News from the Senate Republican information office — State Senator John A. Welborn today introduced a resolution (SR 273) requesting the Congress of the United States to ammend the U.S. Constitution to require that total federal appropriations not exceed total estimated federal revenues in any fiscal year. ’ Article V of the U.S. Con­ stitution directs the Congress to call a Constitutional Convention if two-thirds of the state legislatures request one. Several states have already called for a Constitutional Convention to amend the Constitution with a prohibition against federal deficit spending. “The current fiscal budget of $460 billion will have at least a $58 billion deficit,” Senator Welborn pointed out. “This is despite the fact that President Carter made a commitment to reduce federal spending, starting with his own personal staff. I have not seen any move to decrease his staff, or to decrease the federal debt.” “After hearing about the way U.S. Budget Director Bert Lance runs his own personal finances through the use of overdrafts, if he intends to run the federal budget the same way, I think we all have cause for concern,” the Kalamazoo Republican further remarked. “The current federal debt, as of June 20, 1977, totals in excess of $668.1 billion. At the end of the 1978 fiscal year, each man, woman, and child’s share of that debt will be $3,377.21,” Senator Welborn noted. “My resolution represents Michigan’s effort to put a stop to the spiralling federal debt,” he concluded.

They Can help, Fleminger continued, by getting together material to support their claim before they contact a social security office to apply. He suggested that people get thefollowing kinds of information together first: - Proof of age, unless the person already gets social security benefits. - The person’s latest tax bill or assessment notice if the person owns real property other than his or her own home. - Names of any person who help ‘support the applicant and the amount of money provided. - Bank books, stock cer­ tificates, and bonds. - Motor vehicle registration. - Proof of pensions and an­ nuities. - A copy of the person’^ most recent tax return if self­ employed. - If blind or disabled, a list of the doctors, hospitals, or clinics where treated.

This fantastic gallery of sculpture and color is visable only by boat, with the exception of the Miner’s Castle area which is accessible by road and trail. Tours of the Pictured Rocks originate at Munising and cover about 37 miles round-trip. Length of the tour is approximately two and one-half to three hours. As the tour boat heads for the east channel of Munising Bay, leading'into Lake Superior, it passes Grand Island and one of the oldest lighthouses on Lake Superior. The light was built in 1867 and was operated by kerosene lamps, but it has not been used since the turn of the century. It appears to have a green dome which is actually a copper reflector that time and weather have turned to green. The first significant formation of the Rocks tour is Miner’s Castle. Castle Rock is 90 feet high and it was here that Father Marquette is said to have preached Christianity, to the Indians. Then past Stately River, Painted Coves and Mosquito Harbor where Mosquito River empties into Superior. Mosquito River is supposedly one of the best streams in the Upper Peninsula for rainbow trout in the spring. Astounding, spectacular, magnificent, fabulous!...all are words often used to describe the Pictured Rocks along Lake Superior between Munising and Grand Marais, in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. This natural phenomenon is also often referred to as, “the place where Mother Nature cleaned her paint brushes". Both the words and the phrase are most appropriate, according to the Travel Bureau, Michigan Department of Com­ merce. The Pictured Rocks are estimated by geologists to be 1,500 million years old. They are partof a formation which extends down and under the eastern half of the lower peninsula, rising again in Kentucky along the Kentucky River to form the Kentucky Palisades. The Rocks are Cambrian sandstone topped by an upper layer of Dolomite. Over a period of who knows how many hundreds, or thousands of years, using the erosive elements as her tools - rain and sea, wind and frost - nature has sculpted the cliffs into caves and arches and almost unbelievable forms. Then to top it off, she created murals of color in her own inimitable fashion. The colors are actually painted on the rocks by mineral seepage that oxidizes when it meets the air. Whites are created by limestone seepage; blues and As we look around us our homes, our cars, machines, place of employment - every­ thing was invented, designed and produced by someone, living or dead.

According to Indian legend, Indian chiefs of long ago confined their prisoners of war in these caves and let the sea dash them to thejr death. A short distance further on is Paul Bunyan’s Anvil, or the inevitable Lover’s Leap. The boat continues past Rainbow Cave, around Indian Head Point and the Rookery where the sea gulls lay their eggs and hatch their young. The young gulls are dark gray and difficult to spot because they blend into the grey of the stone. The Rookery could be compared to a high rise apartment building, complete with porches, where the young gulls and their parents come out to sun and watch the tour boats go by. Grand Portal is the highest formation of the Pictured Rocks rising 200 feet above the lake. Beyond the Portal there is Battleship Rock, the Flower Vase, the Indian Drums and finally Chapel Rock. A lone white pine stands atop Chapel Rock, its life sustained by two roots which reach from the rock to the earth of the mainland. The Pictured Rocks were designated as part of a National authorized Lakeshore by Congress October 15, 1966. The National Lakeshore extends 38 miles from Munising to Grand Marais and covers an area of 67,000 acres. A hiking trail runs the entire length of the Lakeshore. By taking county road H-58 northeast from Munising to Grand Marais, visitors to the area enjoy a remarkably scenic drive through part of the Grand Sable State Forest with accents of large, almost pure stands of beautiful white birch. It also affords the opportunity to view several other marvels wrought by nature’s hand. The Devil’s Log Slide, for example, is breathtaking in every sense of the word. It rises nearly 300 feet above Lake Superior at what seems to be at least a 75 degree angle. Ad­ venturous souls slip, slide and tumble down the sand trough to the beach below. Once down, however, they face an extremely precarious and most exacting climb back up to the summit. Almost adjacent to the Slide are the majestic Grand Sable Dunes, five square miles of'windswept, moving hills of sand looming up to 350 feet above lake level.

He said that Red Cross served 16,864 families and spent $6,900,000 in assistance during that one disaster. Should an emergency develop in Barry County, the Barry County Chapter would supply food, clothes, shelter, and emergency medical care until additionall assistance could arrive from other Red Cross elements. Red Cross spent six thousand dollars when they assisted 42 families in Barry County during floods in April 1975. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville.

For instance, this little country is one of the greatest fishing spots in the world. Even the name of this country verifies this fact. Panama, for your information, means “abun­ dance offish." The first time I visited Panama 1 dutifully took the usual pictures of the big boats easing through the canal, but the sight which really in­ spired my interest was a six-foot tarpon being hoisted up for display in front of a Canal Zone fishing camp. Gatun Lake, the proud angler told me, was literally full of big tarpon and snook. This situation still exists today and is sufficient reason for any angler to pack his bags and go see what the Republi­ cans and Democrats are squabbling about. The Atlantic side of Panama of­ fers the San Blas Islands which are famous for Cuna Indians and col­ orful “mola" handicraft, it also is a peaceful South Sea Island, just the sort of a place to relax and forget about 20th century innovations like income taxes and Howard Cosell. But if you're a serious fisherman 1 suggest that you concentrate on the Pacific side ofthis country. South of Panama City, in a little bay carved out of the Darien jungle, is a big game fishing camp which has made angling history since the day it was opened. This is the place to go if you're hankering to battle a 1000pound black marlin or land an over­ sized Pacific sailfish. The tab for a full week of fishing here is around $ 1550 which isn't too bad if you con­ sider the high cost of living for ev­ erything else. If you prefer to use lighter tackle there's an island fishing camp up the coast from the Panama capital which offers dawn to dusk fishing action for roosterfish, ambeijack, big cubera snapper, and even bill­ fish. A seven-day package here is priced at a little under $ 1000. Panama is one of the most Ameri­ canized of all the Latin American countries. Entry regulations are negligible, currency is interchange­ able. folks are friendly, and the place is easy to get to. Braniff, for instance, offers daily service from Miami and other regular service from such Texascities asDallasand Houston. Roundtrip fare from Miami, for example, is a modest $3 io. ~ Hastings, Michigan MAPLE VALLEY PROPERTIES Office .........227 N. Main St., M-66, Nashville - 852*9250 Lloyd Priddy, Sales Associate...

The folks at .Mepps do not suggest squirrels be hunted just for the tails. However, those who hunt squirrels for sport and food should save the tails. Squirrels occupy a vital role in nature That’s why sportsmen shouldn’t "waste any portion of the game they harvest for the table by recycling the tails. The tails become hook dressing on Mepps spinners Hunters find Mepps a ready market for tails Good quality Gray tails bring 8 cents each and good quality Fox and Black tails, 10 cents each. Premium quality tails are worth 3 cents more. Postage is refunded on 50 or more tails. "Over 30 million squirrels are bagged nationwide every year, and by recycling tails, squirrel hunters are simply selling a by­ product and practicing good conservation,” T Layton Shepherd, "The Mepps Man,” advises. Besides, a few tails win help pay for ammo on the next outing.

"The task force is holding these hearings next week in areas which are considered to be medically underserved,” said Nash. "The medical underservice problem stems from the fact that there are not enough primary care physicians to serve the population of a given area and the task force is looking for ideas on how to solve the problem legislatively," he added. “We need to seek ways to en­ courage physicians to locate in underserved areas and at the same time encourage young medical students to enter the WASHINGTON REPORT: "Nectarinr Rum Ring" is a shimmering, richly flavored golden dessert accented by crimson bits of fresh California nectarines.

Indian Hills Dr. Ph. 945-2256 after 4 p.m. WASHINGTON, D.C.-Time was the Department of Agriculture dealt mostly with the production problems of farmers. But times have changed. The omnibus farm bill considered by the House this week illustrates. One section alone, which ac­ counted for nearly three quarters of the total $8 billion proposed authorization for fiscal year 1978, focused spending not on the problems of farmer-producers but on those of consumers. That section, of course, concerned food stamps. It was heralded by the Com­ mittee that created it as “the most comprehensive reform of the food stamp program since its inception as a pilot program in 1961". It is that. The major change is the elimination of the purchase requirement. Under existing law, recipients buy stamps worth more than the amount of cash they have to pay for them. For example, a fourmember family with a net in­ come of $250 a month pays $71 to receive $170 in food stamps. Under the bill passed by the House this week, recipients no longer would have to purchase stamps. A household would receive the normal coupon allotment for a household of its size reduced by an amount equal to 30 per cent of the household’s monthly income after deductions. Going back to the example of the family of four with a $250 monthly income: the family would, upon enactment of the House-passed bill, simply receive $95 in stamps, the allotment being equal to $170...the normal coupon allotment for the household, minus $75...which is 30 per cent of the household's monthly income of $250. The foremost advantage of eliminating the purchase requirement is to support a major’ shifting of benefits provided from those above the poverty line to those whose in­ comes are below the poverty line and who previously have been eligible but have not participated because they could not afford to purchase food stamps. The Committee staff estimated that an additional 2.1 million persons below the poverty line would participate in the program with the change. The poverty line for a non-farm family of four is $5,850 a year. Under the bill, the amount of income a family could have and still be eligible for stamps would be equal to the poverty level plus allowable deductions, including a standard $60 monthly deduction field of family or general prac­ tice," Nash adds. The task force, chaired by State Representative Bela Kennedy (R-Bangor), has prepared a preliminary report on physician maldistribution in Michigan and will be presenting the report at the hearing. To supplement its study, the task force wants to hear first hand accounts on the seriousness of the physician shortage in certain areas and how local communities have been able to meet the medical needs of their residents. “I would urge anyone in­ terested in ’or concerned about this very serious problem to attend the hearing on Wed­ nesday," Nash said. "Input from citizens and medical professionals who live and work in these underserved areas is vital to the task force study. When we have first hand information and ideas, we can do a much better job in proposing solutions to this problem," he said. By Congressman Garry Brown and deductions up to $75 a month for care of a dependent and up to $75 a month for shelter costs which exceed 50 per cent of a family's net income. Secondly, an additional benefit derived from elimination of the purchase requirement is sim sim-­ plification of administration of the program and reduction in fraud and abuse. Elimination of the purchase requirement would reduce by $3 billion annually the number of stamps printed, shipped,, stored, issued, redeemed anti rec reconciled. Federal administrative costs would be cut by as much as $35 million and the states would save about 10 million work hours annually. Further, the volume of stamps in circulation would be cut by about 40 per cent, reducing opportunities for vendor fraud and black marketing, the major source of losses due to fraud. The legislation also includes a provision for a nationwide 18month pilot program of “work­ fare”. As defined by the bill, "workfare" requires recipients subject to a work registration requirement to work in public service jobs for a number of hours each month equal to the value of their household’s food stamp allotment. Work registrants Would have to accept workfare jobs if they were unable to secure bona fide job offers in the private sector within 30 days after registering for work Cont. page 10— Nowget morepork per ton offeed,,.andfaster, too!

Wednesday September 7,1977 - Page 10 World food security sets aside plan Acting Secretary of Agriculture, John White, an­ nounced on August 30, 5 major agricultural policy decisions that should be of great importance to area grain producers. He an­ nounced that the Secretary will: (1) seek Congressional approval to create a special international food reserve of up to 6 million tons, (2) expand the current wheat and rice reserve program to include com with a minimum release price of $2.50 a bushel, (3) announce his intentions for a 20 percent set aside on 1978 crop wheat, (4) immediately increase the 1977 corn loan rate to $2 a bushel and (5) expand the facility loan program from 5 years to 8 years repayment schedule. These announcements are very timely since area wheat farmers will start planting 1978 wheat in about 2 weeks and start har­ vesting, selling or storing 1977 crpp corn also. While the program is voluntary, farmer compliance with the set-aside is a condition of eligibility for loans, purchases and payments in any USDA program. Also, designated set-aside acreage must be put into a soil conserving use.

Starting October 1, firearm hunters must wear hunter orange, says the Department of Natural Resources. 7'he new rule, aimed at reducing accidental shootings, requires hunters to wear either a vest, jacket or cap of a highly visible color commonly referred to as hunter orange. The new law does not affect persons hunting waterfowl from a blind or boat, persons hunting bobcat, crow, or wild turkey, or bow and arrow hunters. James R. Walker, DNR hun­ ting safety specialist, says the use of hunter orange has already become popular with many hunters. “The wide use of hunter orange contributed to the low rate of hunting accidents we had last year,” he says. There were 5 fatalities during the 1976-77 hunting season, and 14 during the 1975-76 season. “Safety cqnscious hunters have already been using hunter orange,” Walker points out. “Hunter orange is in good supply in all stores, and has been for several years.” Walker says hunter orange has reduced accidental shootings in other states where it has been required. “Many states report an ex­ treme reduction in accidental shootings,” he says. “Massachusetts reduced ac­ cidents by 88 percent.” Walker predicts hunter orange will reduce accidents in three categories: victim out of sight of shooter, victim in line of fire, and victim mistaken for game. The last category, victim mistaken for game, is commonly referred to as “early blur,” Walker says. “It means shooting at something that’s not there.” “That type of accident will almost entirely be prevented by the use of hunter orange,” he says. But walker emphasizes that hunter orange will not eliminate accidents caused by careless handling of firearms. “In the end, it is up to the in­ dividual to make sure he handles his firearm safely;" Walker says.

Caledonia scored just after a short Lion punt and a 15 yard penalty gave the Scots good field position. The kick for the extra point was good. Maple Valley came back with a touchdown by Tim Burd in the second quarter. Tim, playing defensive end, intercepted a Caldeonia hand-off in the back­ field and raced 50 yards for the score. The run for the two point conversion failed. The game remained at 7-6 until, with 2:30 left in the game, the Lions gambled on defense, trying to Chuck Reid meets head-on with a Caledonia linebacker.

Charlie Andrus...new manager of Nashville Business Charlie Andrus is tne new manager of the Nashville Auto and Farm Supply store at 209 N. Main, Nashville. He took over management August 9, replacing Jack Eckman. Charlie has the option to buy the business at the first of the year. For the past three years, Charlie had been a salesman at Larke Buick-Chevrolet in Hastings. "We're going to expand the inventory," said Charlie. "You name it and we've got it. We carry a complete line of parts for foreign cars, snowmobiles, lawn mowers, motorcycles, farm equipment, and trucks of all kinds." Charlie was born and raised in Nashville, and is a Hastings High School graduate. He has lived in Nashville for the last year and one half with his wife Mary and their twin boys, David and Jon. (Maple Valley News Photo) Barry This is in response to your letter of August 18, 1977, regar­ ding the need for repairs to the subject crossing. Conrail was advised by Mr. E.V. Goodman last September that the repairs should be ac­ complished as normal main­ tenance and that the expense would be a legitimate cost under the State subsidy program. In asmuch as the situation has not changed significantly, it appears that the earlier advice to Conrail is still appropriate. Mr. Good­ man’s office has agreed, however,, to review the operational requirements in the immediate vicinity of the crossing in order to determine whether or not the second track through the roadway is actually required. If one track can be eliminated the work may be of significant magnitude to qualify for funding under the federal Highway Safety Act. ■ Your office will be advised when this determination is made. Sincerely, George E. Masters Railroad Contract Engineer Railroad Engineering Unit near future. As you note in the enclosed letter, should the second track through the roadway be eliminated, federal funds may be available for the repairs. Please contact Bob Chaprnka of my office regarding any developments in this matter. Sincerely, Richard J.

Nashville, Wednesday, September 14, 1977 -- Page 8 A weekly report from: Senator Richard Allen Bicycles are not toys. They are vehicles with both transportation and recreational uses. I’ve been strongly involved in a lot of pretty heavy legislative issues in my career - educational, finance, PBB, mobile home widths, banking law, aborthion, apportionment, agriculture, land use, and hunting laws, to list only a few. It seems, however, when a constituent wants to get mad at me, he often sasy, “If you’d just quit fooling around with those dang bicycles all the time and get busy on...” Okay, so I spend some time on bicycle legislation, but I won’t admit it’s so much time that I neglect other areas. I do see an importance and a need here that apparently most others fail to see - my constituents and my legislative colleagues alike. In the upcoming fall legislative session, I am going to be pushing for more recognition of the role bicycles play in our total tran­ sportation system and the danger our present transportation facilities constitute as bicyclists share them with motor vehicles. Bicycles are increasingly used as a mode of transportation, a way to get to and from work, school, shopping and social engagements. They are used not just by children, but by adults. (During our last five annual Lansing to Mackinaw bicycle rides, we have always had participants over 65 and quite a few over 50.) And, even if you don’t use one yourself, you have to admit that their use by others constitutes a gas savings important to us all. More people would use bicycles if they weren’t fearful of the inherent danger of sharing space with a high-speed auto or truck. So on to the danger. Scores of people are killed each year and a good many more seriously injured on bicycles. And, they are not just the people who have ridden improperly, although running stop signs, using the wrong lane, and other illegalities are much too common and much too ignored by law enforcers. Often, inadequate roads play a major role in bicycle-related accidents. And even though you don’t ride a bicycle, I know you wouldn’t want to be the motorist involved in the death or serious injury of a bicyclist. I also know from ex­ perience you (most people) are a little irritated when an inadequate shoulder or a narrow lane makes it impossible for you to safely pass a slow-moving bicyclist without slowing your vehicle down to a crawl. So you agree that bicycles and heavy traffic on narrow shoulderless roads or streets are bad for motorists as well as bicyclists. Right? So what is the solution? Two possible, I guess. One ( and I’ve heard it often), ban the bicyclist from the roads! No good. It would force all those willing to ride bicycles back into cars, use more gas, increase pollution and congestion, etc. Besides, it is an unconstitutional infringement (have you heard this phrase more often than you like?) on the basic human right of free movement and right to the road. The best solution is better planning in transportation facilities, with paved shoulders, marked lanes or even separate paths in certain instances.. Also, needed are such things as parking facilities, safe sewer grates, a'nd other small recognitions of the role bicycles Play. Corner of Chief Noonday Rd. and Whitmore Rd., West of Hastings Ethel V. Everett, 80, died September 7 at Albion Community Hospital. She was born in Erastus, Ohio, on April 23, 1897. She was married in Nashville to Dale Everett on May 1, 1915. Mr. Everett died April 23, 1972. The funeral was Saturday, Sept. 10 at Albion Chapel TiddWilliams Funeral Chapels. Rev. Larry Fulton officiated. Burial was at Lakeside Cemetery in Nashville. Mrs. Everett was employed as a receptionist at the King and Helrigel Home for Funerals for 22 years. She attended the First CARD OF THANKS Continued Three other elements I think are necessary to the total pic­ ture: Bicyclists should help pay the costs through a registration fee similar to boats and snowmobiles. snowmobiles. Education of bicyclists and motorists alike about the rights and responsibilities should be increased. And third, a big one, we should have better law enforcement. I realize that no motorist is going to be very tolerant of bicyclists so long as his auto sits at stoplights while bikes glide through with but a little slowing and a glance in each direction.

Brightly colored fall foliage lines both sides of the river as it flows for nearly 30 miles through the Maple River State Game Area. Wildlife often can be seen at the river’s edge. The Flat River, another tributary of the Grand, offers more wilderness canoeing in the Lowell State Game Area. A multitude of other scenic rivers in Michigan provide breathtaking settings for fall color viewing. Salmon watchers fascinated by the spectacle of thousands of coho and chinook surging up Michigan streams to spawn often find the annual migration occurs when northwest Lower Michigan’s fall color is near its peak. At the Department of Natural Resources hatchery about five miles east of Honor, a 60-foot­ wide waterfall blocks the salmon’s journey up the Platte River, forcing them to churn their way up fish ladders into holding ponds. Sometimes up to 20,000 coho can be seen leaping and bounding up the fish ladder as they obey their natural urge to spawn and die. The sight of salmon so numerous they swim in layers attracts thousands of spectators every year. To find out the best time for .salmon watching, call the DNR office in Cadillac, (616) 775-9728. Pedaling a bike on Michigan’s back roads gives travelers another opportunity to slow down for a better view of bright fall foliage. One Auto Clubrecommended 33-mile bike route from Holland to Grand Haven follows the Lake Michigan shoreline with its towering sand dunes and stately homes. Another 30-mile mid-Michigan bicycle adventure along BR-27 between Alma and Clare gives bikers a chance to tour ' the Central Michigan University campus in Mount Pleasant and visit the 450-acre Isabella Indian Reservation.

Seven wineries offer daily tours complete with wine tasting, and the surrounding sweet-smelling vineyards provide a pretty picture when seen against a backdrop of woods in autumn colors. Another sure sign of fall is the opening of cider mill season. A majority of Michigan's nearly 70 cider mills are in Southeast Michigan just a short drive from large metropolitan areas, Auto Club notes. A cider mill tour is a delight for youngsters who can watch the apples being pressed and then sample the finished product. The whole family should enjoy the backroads wandering through farmland and forests tinged with red, yellow and gold. Because of recent dry weather, the fall color season is about three weeks ahead of schedule. In the U.P., color should be at its peak starting Sept. 16 and ending Oct. 2. Full color should spread to northern Lower Michigan Sept. 23 through Oct. 9; central Lower Michigan, Sept. 30-0ct. 16, and southern Lower Michigan, Oct. 7­ 23. Color tour information can be obtained from area tourist bureaus or chambers of com­ merce, and Auto Club members will find up-to-date reports available at local offices across Michigan.

The .Lion defense played an outstanding game, holding Caledonia to 171 yards total of­ fense. The Lions played the game with seven players on the sidelines due to injuries. The seven players accounted for nine starting positions, leaving the team in a weakened position for the opening game. Other Lion weaknesses in the game were discovered in the punting department and punt receiving. Outstanding individual efforts on offense were turned in by Scott Decker and Andy Joostbems on the offensive line and Mike Hamilton in the backfield. Mike rushed for 54 yards and caught passes for 31 yards. Kirby Wilmore also turned in a fine job at quarterback, but is now out for the season after undergoing surgeiy on Sunday to repair torn ligaments he received in the Friday night game. Outstanding individuals on the defensive unit included Scott Decker, who led the team with 10 tackles, Andy Joostberns, who had nine tackles and provided the team with good defensive leadership, Bo Erwin, who led the team in quarterback sacks with four, and of course Tim Burd, who scored the live touchdown.

Michigan farm receipts decline­ cash receipts to Michigan farmers for their farm marketings were $743.1 million during the first half of 1977,- ac­ cording to the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. This is a 6 percent drop from the $792 million for the same period last year. The decrease is due primarily to significantly lower returns from crop enterprises. Crops accounted for 45 percent of the total receipts with $337.5 rnillion. This is a nose-dive of 11 percent from the $380.9 million for the first half of 1976. Crop receipts returned less every month during this period than last year. Receipts from livestock and livestock products were $405.6 million, 1 percent less than the $411.1 million for January - June 1976. March, May, and June showed larger returns for livestock than the same months last year. For the year January through December 1976, cash receipts on Michigan farms totaled $1,681.1 million. Crops provided 52 per­ cent of this amount with 869.5 million dollars, while livestock and livestock products returned $811.5 million or 48 percent. However, for the first six months of 1977 livestock is bringing in greater receipts.

The school district will be levying 22.3 mills for operational pur­ poses amounting to $708,624.24 based upon a state equalized valuation of $31,776,892. The valuation otthe school district last year was $30,170,149. The 22.3 mills includes the 8.3 mills allocated and the 14 extra voted mills. The debt retirement millage, was set at .76 mills amounting to $24,057.26. The school district will be receiving state funds under Section 27 in the aipount of $48,522.00 to apply toward payment of the principal and interest on the 1963 bond debt. The original bond issue in 1963 was in the amount of $1,420,000. and the balance June 30, 1977 was $885,000. The board members accepted the bid submitted by State Farm Mutual Insurance Company for school bus fleet insurance and coverage on other vehicles and tractors. The bid in the amount of $4,106.09 covers the twenty six regular busses, three mini busses, two cars, five pickups, and three tractors. The insurance covers the period October 1, 1977 through September 30, 1978. The annual financial report as prepared by the school auditor was approved for filing with the State Department of Education. The cash balance June 30, 1977 was $278,501. Taxes receivable June 30, 1977 amounted to $135,654. This school year both Barry and Eaton counties, will be making payment to the school district for the delinquent taxes. The board members approved a resolution allowing the school district to become a member of the Michigan High School Athletic Association. This action was necessary at this time considering that the Attorney General issued an opinion in August indicating the legislature could not delegate governmental functions to a private body, such as the Michigan High School Athletic Association. By being a member of the association a school district agrees to operate an athletic program within the guidelines set by the state athletic association. The state association has three main functions including eligibility rules, registration of officials, and administration of meets and tournaments. The board members voted not to be a member of the Michigan Association of School Boards, Inc. at a membership fee of $993.00 for the 1977-78 school year. Board members Wilbur Marsh, Charles Viele, and John Viele voted in favor of joining the state association; and Arlene DeCamp, Elam Rockwell, Robert Dormer, and Wayne Cogswell voted not to become a member this school year. In May similar action had been taken not to join the state association. Approval was given the coaching staff for the various sports at the Jr-Sr. High School as submitted by athletic director Larry Lenz. This represents twenty athletic teams at the high school level and six in the Jr. high school. A non-teaching contract was approved for Theresa Hull as school nurse for the 1977-78 and 1978-79 school years. Approval was given a non-teaching con­ tract for Patricia Carmoney as teacher aide-playground supervisor at the Kellogg Elementary.

Sat. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville. Wednesday September 21.1977 — Page3 A weekly report from: Senator 292^94 It is an ill will that blows no good. The PBB accident in Michigan was certainly an “ill wind.” Most serious damage is the still-lingering possibility that some of the early high-exposure people on farms, eating and drinking directly contaminated meat and milk in high con­ centrations, may have suffered some long-lasting health effects. There is no doubt that economic damage was widespread. Farmers not directly involved suffered from a loss of market confidence, and those who were directly involved may not always have been fully compensated. In addition, Farm Bureau Services, a farm cooperative whose ownership includes farmers throughout the state, lost millions in damages, even though their role in mixing the improperly delivered chemical was somewhat innocent. It is hard to have much sym­ pathy for the central villain in the PBB case, Michigan Chemical, whose employees shipped the wrong chemical. Even here, however, all stockholders, and most employees, are suffering from the mistake of one or very few persons. While the company must be held responsible, many innocent workers are losing their jobs as the company closes up its Michigan operations, with PBBrelated problems high on the list of reasons. Certainly, the losses of in­ surance companies will also be spread across a broad range of people throughout the country by increases in liability premiums to cover their losses. Recently, all Michigan tax- An Opportunity to exhibit your flower arrangement at the... payers have been added to the list ofsufferers, as the state embarks on what I consider an illconceived multi-million dollar search and destroy mission to eliminate an infinitesimal amount of PBB remaining in cattle. (The amount of PBB remaining In all the cattle in the state is much less than that already, in people, andprobably hardly more than what some individuals who currently appear perfectly healthy ate back in 1973 and 1974.) Some good, however (back to our ill wind), is coming of the PBB accident. We have become much more alert to chemical contamination problems and the necessity of closer monitoring of food production. In fact, some other similar problems which would, have probably gone unnoticed previously have been discovered early and nipped in the bud. Representative Charles Mueller of Linden and I are preparing legislation aimed at a crucial omission in this area. We presently import into Michigan considerable quantities of food from countries which allow the use of agricultural chemicals that have been prohibited here in our state. Our bill would require that such imports be accompanied by certification that they have been raised without use of the prohibited chemicals. Present procedure in this area has two problems: First are the possible risks of exposure to chemicals that have not been proven safe in long-term usage. Second is the impact on Michigan agricultural producers who must compete with imports even though they are prohibited from using the same chemicals. We hope to solve this serious problem. If we do, no doubt the credit should go to public awareness grown out of the PBB accident. Michigan legislators studying the ingredients of imported foods . . Two state legislators believe a considerable amount of food imported into Michigan from other countries fails to meet Michigan’s stringent standards against chemical contamination and are taking the first step to remedy the situation. State Senator Richard Allen (R-Alma) and State Represen­ tative Charles Mueller (RLinden) announced at a Lansing news conference Wednesday their intention to introduce legislation requiring that all foods imported into Michigan from other countries meet Michigan chemical contamination guidelines. “Imports of food are currently allowed from areas that continue to use agricultural chemicals which have been banned in Michigan,” they explained. “Moreover, testing for the presence of these illegal chemicals is either non-existent or extremely sporadic.” Representative Mueller, a fruit farmer by vocation, cited a number of chemicals that are prohibited in Michigan, but legal in Canada, including Amitrol “T” (Cytrol), the chemical that Nashville man killed Continued from frontby his wife, the former Vicki Moon of the Charlotte area; two daughters, Cathy and Diane; and one son, Michael, all at home; his mother, Mrs. Lilie May Hyatt of Lansing; five sisters; Mrs. Reford (Ina May) Berry of Lansing, Mrs. James (Pearl Dellvon of Lansing, Mrs.'William (Ruth) Roark of Evendale, Pa., Mrs. Joe (Janice) Snapp of Lansing, Mrs. O’Dell (Rosalee) Carrier of Bluff City, Tenn.; and four brothers, James of Lake Odessa, Edman of Nashville and Manuel and Roy of Lansing.

The legislation they are proposing for Michigan would require a certification program whereby foreign governments guarantee that products for export to Michigan are grown without exposure to the prohibited chemicals. It would provide for a regular program of random sampling and testing by the Michigan Department of Agriculture to assure com­ pliance. “The problem is two-fold,” Senator Allen and Representative Mueller pointed out. “First is the possible exposure of consumers Michigan to chemicals whose safety has not been assured. Secondly, Michigan farmers are forced into an adverse competitive situation since they must produce products that meet high standards without using the prohibited chemicals.” Senator Allen had previously introduced legislation calling for a study of this situation and freely admits that he was, at first, only looking for “a possible retalitory measure to counteract Canada’s economic boycott of Michigan beef.” “Michigan beef farmers, and I am one myself, have been in­ censed since January when Canada stopped the importation of Michigan beef using the PBB situation as an explanation,” he said-. “Beef from Michigan feedlots, the kind being exported to Canada, had never been a part of the PBB crisis. Calves for these feedlots are generally imported from out-of-state and the chemical contaminant PBB had been accidently mixed in a supplement generally used solely for dairy cattle. “So Michigan beef feeders have been forced to sit helplessly by, suffering from a generally depressed while market wholesale prices in Canada are as much as five dollars a hundred .higher,” he added.

Maple Valley hopes to combine hard hitting defense, explosive offsense— A stellar defense and explosive offense are the primary ingredients that coach Dan Watson feels may give his Maple Valley Varsity football team a winning recipe for the 1977 high school football season. “We should be .500 or better,” said Watson. “I think we will be in a battle for the league championship, we have to be considered one of the contenders this year. “We will have a wide open offense,” added Watson. “We expect to throw the ball alot more than the last three or four years.” As Maple Valley teams have proven in the past, they will again be tough on defense. “We put our best people on defense,” said Watson. “We feel that ifwe can hold the other team down, we can be in the game. We’ve always had hitters at Maple Valley. “Our weakness is depth in the offensive and defensive lines. We have no backups at all. We may also lack some speed in the back­ field.” Two juniors, Andy Joostberns, a six-foot-six, 225 lb. tackle, and linebacker Ken Hansbarger were named to the All-Conference team as sophomores last year. Three seniors are also expected to be outstanding performers this year - offensive guard and middle linebacker Scott Decker, quarterback Jim Horn, and flankersafety Pete Benton. Returning lettermen from last year’s team are Benton, Hom, Doug Hansbarger, Robin Pendall, Decker, Mike Yost, Kirby Wilmore, Bo Erwin, Mike Hamilton, Tim Burd, Chuck Reid, Ken Hansbarger, and Joostberns. Other players on the team roster are Randy Vessechia, Mike Durant, Hal Ferguson, Larry Thomas, Jeff Schutte, Steve Augustine, Brad Car­ penter, LeRoy Bursley, Ed Reid, Nolan Goodner, David Toman, Bill Maker, Kevin Kilpatrick, Dennis Cook, David Cook, Quentin Ward, Mitch Thompson, Darrell Clements, Kent Mac­ Donald, David Wells, Brent Powell, and Jon Travoli. The assistant coach is Steve Mac­ Donald. The managers are Nyle Wells and Denny Gardner. Junior Varsity football young, inexperienced squad The Maple Valley Junior Varsity Football team is heading into the 1977 football season with a team of 12 sophomores and 30 freshmen. Key people returning to the squad are Jeff Mead, Vern Sargent, Ken Wood, Tony Joostberns, Don Fox, Doug Cook, Ray Hole, Dennis Yost and Jeff Horn. “We should be very ex­ perienced in the offensive back­ field and at offensive end,” said Coach Mel Ruohonen, but our early season weaknesses will be centered around our lack of game experience by some of our key players. "We feel there is potential to be a very strong JV team, but we will have to get a few games under our belt to get the needed confidence to win games. “As most football fans know, Maple Valley does not have a freshman team so we carry all players on the junior varsity squad. Some of our really young players have little experience The Lions compiled a 5-3 overall record last year, and finished 5-3 in league play. They finished second to Lakeview, who completed the season undefeated in league competition.

Action Ads Nashville Chamber of Cub scouts Pock 649 news Commerce to attract grocery store to downtown district The Nashville Chamber of Commerce discussed the need of a grocery store in downtown Nashville. There are several rumors that some grocery stores are in­ terested in opening a store in the downtown business district. Several members discussed the possibility of reactivating an old corporation, the Nashville Building Association, and draw from its treasury to tear down the condemned buildings on Main Street. Members felt by doing so it would make the possibility of a new grocery store in Nashville more attractive to prospective grocery store owners. Phone 945-9554 for Action-Ads We are in full swing again and on Sept. 14 we held our first pack meeting, at which time we ad­ vanced three boys to Webeloes, Robert Adkins, Ken Gillig and Tom Waldren. We graduated two Webeloes to boy scouts, Doug Dickinson, and Harvey (Skip) Wyskowski. We also had round up and recruited 8 new boys. Brian Ainsworth, Mark Bykoski, Joseph Campeau, Greg King, Joseph Thatcher, Chris and Joey Youngs and Timmy Morris. Saturday, Sept. 17 we held our field day at Dennis Hales. We had 28 scouts and 16 committee and parents. Plus a few little ones. Our day started with a first aid demonstration given by Beverly Gillig and assisted by Kay Snowden. We also had a short course on gun safety and target practice with bb guns. They had races and some tumbling. The boy scouts gave a lesson on fire building and we had a weiner roast at noon. In the afternoon we had bow and arrow, obsticle course, gunny sack race and then got caught in the rain so we went in the garage and sang songs and played games. The Webeloes were also busy working on their tote and chip badge. Four boys were able to earn these, because a parent was present, Dean Hale, Terry Hall, Ken Gillig and Robert Adkins. We ended the day with cookies and kool-aid and each boy received a ribbon for attending and some received ribbons for the winning of our special events.

Portland entered the game rated 9th in the state by the Free Press and was one of thirteen teams in the state that had been unscored upon. The Lions put an end to both of those statistics in the second half of the game by scoring twice while stopping Portland’s offense in its tracks. Portland returned the opening kickoff to the 37 yard line and drove the ball to the MV 29 where the Lion Defense held. Portland continued to dominate the first half picking up their touchdown on a 1 yard run by Steve Munchbach in the the second quarter.

(tfn) VETO OVERRIDE? - The big news this week is the House at­ tempt to override Governor Milliken’s veto of SB419, which deals with administrative rules procedures. It is basically a confrontation between the legislative and executive branches since the last guber­ natorial override was in 1951. FIRST BILLS - One of the first measures introduced when the House reconvened last week was HJR “Z”, which would amend the state constitution to create a one-house (unicameral) legislature of 100 members with 4-year terms, beginning in 1992. LICENSE VETO Another possible override attempt will be on the Governor’s veto of funding for two license plates on Michigan vehicles. One-plate licensing would save $1.7 million. SCHOOL EMPLOYEES - Now in the House is SB714, which conforms Michigan law with federal regulations on unem­ ployment compensation. The Senate removed, and the House may attempt to put back in, a provision to include non- CITY HOMES Farm — Home — Lake Property 110. LARGE 2-STORY H Completely carpeted.

Call MENZO HOWE, Charlotte, Phone 543-0173. (tfn) A weekly report from: Senator Richard Allen A terrible movie! And the motives behind its widespread distribution are worse than the movie. That’s my critical analysis of the British documentary entitled “The Poisoning of Michigan”. Actually, to call it a documentary is to distort the normal use of the word. The movie is a shoddy attempt to scandalize the PBB accident in Michigan. It makes no effort to expose the true facts of this wellknown tragic incident. Most of (he movie consists of interviews with some very opinionated people on the subject of PBB. There is no attempt to verify or even investigate whether the opinions have any factual base or not. Also there was no attempt to balance the opinions expressed by those who have the opposite opinion. For instance, the farmers interviewed were strongly of the opinion that very low levels of PBB had caused severe illnesses in their herds. The film showed an amazing array of cattle disabilities, from mild to grotesque, allegedly caused by the exposure. Many farmers had testified before our committee (Senate Agriculture Committee) that even very high levels (hundreds of times the alleged damaging levels) has caused no disruption in health or production in their herds. They had been surprised when their herds tested positive and upset when healthy, productive cattle were con­ demned and slaughtered. No such farmers appeared in the film. One rural veterinarian was interviewed. Dr. Alpha Clark, a college Classmate of mine, has, since early in the controversy, strongly stated his opinion that low levels of PBB were the cause of many symptoms. The President of the Michigan Veterinarian Association, also a rural practitioner, had testified before one committee that low levels appeared harmless, an WE SUPPORT the NASHVILLE ..

None of these veterinarians were in­ terviewed. The film showed a Canadian scientist; hired by a group of farmers suing for damages, expressing his opinion that PBB might likely be carcinogenic. An impressive array of scientists, including the head of our State Cancer Association, had ap­ peared before our committee testifying that by present testing technology, including the well known Ames test, PBB had not been shown to be carcinogenic, even at high doses. None of these were interviewed. The only lawyer interviewed was the one who represents a group of farmers who have filed suit for damages. No attorney for the other side appeared. When people whose opinions did not agree with those of the film makers were interviewed, their opinions were distorted by short segments taken out of context. A well known FDA scientist, who testified repeatedly that tolerance levels had been set with more than adequate safety margins, ap­ peared in the film to express the opposite opinion. A short sequence with Governor Milliken made him appear bumbling and unsure. It was cut from a long interview in which he had demonstrated his usual thorough knowledge. State agency personnel were accused of a variety of misdeeds including actual crimes such as taking bribes. No evidence was offered. The simple technique used was merely, to interview someone who’s opinion it was that such a misdeed or crime had taken place. A candidate for governor has secured a copy of the film and is showing it to anyone who will watch. He accuses the Governor of trying to suppress the film. I personally think the film should have broad exposure. It should be shown in every civics and political science class as ah example of how this media can be used to distort history in an at­ tempt to promote a biased viewpoint and perhaps unseat a governor. The film is a little too blatant to succeed. I believe that people in our state are too intelligent and well informed to fall for it.

Returnees Lori Mitchell, Joyce Warner, Karen Fager, and Kathy Christopher will add strength to the Lion rebounding. Freshmen expected to help out are Robyn Matson, Marsha Zinger, Kris Sample, Judy Williams, and Becky Cowell. Promising freshman guards are Diane Cook, Lori Decker, Candace Mater, Celia Eaton, Donna Augustine, and Kelly MacDonald. These girls are expected to provide the leadership for the JV offense. Because the junior varsity is a learning situation, these girls will probably be competing in close, exciting ball games. Each game presents a different situation but at the junior varsity level we try to play as many girls as possible. The emphasis is on learning and each girl must learn their assignment in practice before they can properly execute it in a game.

Barry County represented at taxpayers meeting— Burton Ebersole represented Barry County at the First Representative Assembly Meeting of the Taxpayers Federation of Michigan at Tawas City, Saturday, September 24, 1977, to discuss the direction of the Federation for the coming year. The Assembly unanimously went on record as supporting the newly written tax limitation amendment, which will be available for discussion at the next meeting of the Barry County Concerned Taxpayers. Hopefully, at this meeting, we will have William Hanson, Executive Director of the Tax­ payers United Research In­ stitute, to explain the new proposal. The Taxpayers Federation of Michigan also went on record as opposing the new Constitutional Convention. It was the opinion of the assembled representatives that it was much better to change or amend the present Con­ stitution than to get involved with new and more complex problems that could result from a new Convention.

However, -this amount represents just enough to run the state for 2',% days; the total budget is about $4 billion. PHOSPHATE BAN As of October 1, it is illegal to sell laundry detergents containing phosphates in Michigan. This is not a law, but a rule by the Department of Natural Resources which was instituted to stop damage to our state’s Water quality. PRISON PURCHASE The House has approved HB 5027 .which includes $7.2 million to buy, remodel and equip St. Augustine Seminary in Allegan County for use as a state prison. The area contains parkland which can be sold back to the county. SBT BILLS - The House and Senate have approved different revisions to the Single Business Tax. H.B. 4633 would give an estimated $64 million in tax relief to small and low-profit businesses; the money would be made up by including all depreciation in* the tax base. SB 724 would shift the SBT emphasis to a heavier, tax on corporate profits as a means of relief. DEER ACCIDENTS We’re getting into prime time for car­ deer accidents in Michigan. The mating season and hunter ac­ tivity keep deer on themove October through .December. Be alert.- * FORCED RETIREMENT Federal and state laws have been proposed recently to eliminate forced retirement at the age of 65.

DRUNK LAW - Both houses have now approved HB 4394 and 5085, which delay to next January the effective date of a 1974 law­ decriminalizing public intoxication. These bills provide improved health services and retain drunk and disorderly conduct as a crime.

DROPOUT RATE - Michigan’s high school dropout rate hit new lows of about 6 percent during the 1974-75 and 1975-76 school years, according to the Education Department.

Breakthru building fund drive virtually at hand, the Lake Odessa-based rehabilitation facility stands some $15,000 short of its announced $60,000 goal, according to drive chairman State Representative Ernest Nash. Kicked off April 11, 1977, the drive was begun to match federal grants used to purchase ad­ ditional buildings for the ex­ panded number of people and programs at the facility. Starting with a client director who began as the facility’s first employee and now heads a staff of 40. “Through years of in­ stitutionalization, many of our clients came to us unskilled and unable to perform many func­ tions the rest of the population takes for granted,” she said. “Our programs work to break down the barriers and recreate a person who can be productive. While the aim for all clients is to rejoin society in a useful and satisfying role, we know that some will spend their entire working lives in a sheltered working environment.” E.B.I. programs deal not only with helping the client adjust to a work setting, but with basic learning skills such as how to apply for employment and other function. Contributors to the campaign have come from-all levels and have included both individuals and organization, Mrs. Joppie said. Any contribution is welcome and tax deductable, said Rep. Nash, who is extending the conclusion of the drive. More than that, he said, the E.B.I. Continued bottom next col.* population of 6 in 1969, E.B.I.

(For all Ages!) 5 I recefved a letter from a kid the other day who asked, “What is a bass?” What is a bass? The question was so rediculous that I almost threw his letter into a waste basket. But, the more I got to thinking about the subject, the more intrigued I became with the implications of this question. And, I would like to answer it as best I can. First of all, the largemouth is our most popular gamefish. It is found in all of our 50 states and grows to a respectable 20 pounds or more. Research indicates that the bass is one of the most in­ telligent of fresh-water fishes. Bass can communicate with each other and perhaps with other aquatic creatures. They can learn, and, with certain limitations, remember things. Bass have a voracious appetite. And a temper. They appreciate body comforts, lead a reasonable sex life, and will not expend an ounce iqore energy to achieve an objective than they absolutely have to. Bass'have good vision and are not color blind. They can dif­ ferentiate lure color at depths of 10 feet or more, depending on available light and clarity of the water. If the water is calm, they can also see a man walking on the bank or standing up in a boat. Hearing, smell, and taste senses are better developed than ours, but primarily they are sight hunters, like a lion or leopard. In contrast, a catfish might be compared to a hound, which depends on his nose to follow a trail. Water temperature is as essential to a bass’s comfort as air temperature is to ours, and their preference is remarkably similar. A bass is most com­ fortable in water ranging from 68 to 75 degrees; that climate agrees with me, too. Environment has an effect on bass behavior, just as it does with us. As a result, a bass living in a murky Texas impoundment is a different fish from one living in a clear Ozark stream or in a shallow Florida lake. A bass has a voracious appetite and spends most of its waking hours looking for food. A bass can go several days without food, but to grow and prosper it needs to consume three percent of its body weight per day. Translated into bass vittles, this adds up to two dozen minnows or crawfish daily. It also has been proven that all bass are not the same, regardless of their environment. Each has individual traits. One bass may throw a lure and remember the experience for two seasons. Another bass, identified by a tag, has been caught and released a dozen times in one year and keeps coming back for more.

Wednesday October 5: 1977 - Page 7 A weekly report from: Senator 292^94 A recent article, which appeared in the “Detroit Free Press”, prompted me to write a letter to the editor of thatt newspaper in response to the misleading information the article contained. . I would like to devote my column this week to sharing my letter with my constituents in the 30th District: : i illness Dear Editor of the Detroit Free Press: It seems to me the “Detroit Free Press” is continuing to engage in a deliberate attempt to mislead and frighten the public concerning the dangers of PBB to the general consumer. A recent article states that an FDA study shows that “small” doses caused serious physical damage in dogs. The text of the article, however, show the doses used were massive compared to recent general population ex­ posures in Michigan. Doses of four milligrams-perkilogram (mpk) of food fed to the dogs translate to four parts-permillion (ppm) in the entire food supply. The first maximum set by the FDA was one ppm in the animal fat. In other words, a person eating a diet consisting of 10 percent animal fat, all of which came from cows contaminated at the maximum allowable level, would receive a daily dose only about one-fortieth that of the test dogs. The maximum was reduced to .3 ppm on November 5, 1974, and then recently to .02 ppm. A quick calculation tells me a 150-pound person would have to continually eat all the* fat from about 10 cows weighing 1000 pounds per day contaminated at the .02 level to reach this dog dose. There has never been any doubt that large doses cause reporter is either unable to Continued from page 6 Col 5 Outdoors and Travel- Some bass jump when hooked. Some won’t.

Some people, most likely farmers, ate large doses in 1973 and 1974. Since tthen the question has been what level is dangerous and is there a dosage response so we can set a safe level. While I have not seen the FDA study from the “Detroit Free Press” report, it appears it may offer reassurance about levels of public exposure since 1974. The convert miiligrams-per-kilogram on a whole diet basis to parts-permillion in a comparable human diet or is deliberately misleading the public. Sincerely, RICHARD J.

On the Queen's Court were Kathy Garvey and Denise Fassett, Pete Benton and Kirby Wilmore made up the King's Court. On the Prince and Princess Court were Brenda Browne, Diane Wells, Tony Joostberns and Brad DeCamp. In the float competition the juniors won first place, seniors, second; sophomores, third; and freshmen, fourth. Included in the traditional homecoming ceremonies was the bonfire and snake-dance Thursday evening. In the Powder-Puff football game Tuesday night the junior and senior girls battled to a 6-6 deadlock. The juniors won the tug-o-war and the capture the flag contests earlier in the week. The freshmen won the "Pack the bug" contest.

Rain, drizzle, and clouds prevailed over Michigan last week preventing fields from drying and halting most har­ vesting activity, according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Ser­ vice. Well-drained fields became soft, while already “too wet” fields became impassible. Corn silage, dry bean and potato harvests were almost at a standstill. Indian summer weather (warm-dry) is needed very soon to allow crop harvest to resume. The quality of dry beans, potatoes and corn is deteriorating. Limited activity last week included fence repair, storage preparation, silo filling, and manure hauling. The wet weather almost eliminated fieldwork as less than two days were suitable. In some areas, no field activity existed for the week ending September 24; one Michigan farmer commented, “The drought is over.” CORN: Corn for grain needs dry weather to lower the moisture content before farmers can begin picking in earnest. About 45 percent of the corn in the field is mature and safe from frost, compared to last year’s 30 percent and a normal of one-third mature. Ears in the field look good, however, some early harvested ears were small and short-kerneled due to lack of rain at pollinating time. Excess moisture is causing some moulding. Silage chopping made a little headway with 45 percent of the crop in the silo. SMALL GRAINS: Winter wheat planting progressed slightly to 15 percent, which is below the normal pace of 28 percent. Some of the early ground plowed for planting has turned green with grass. It will have to be disked before seeding MEMBER Association - Founded 1885 Maple Valley News Nashville, Michigan.

Bean pods touching the ground are lost. There are reports of Navy beans turning black in the fields. There will be extensive “pick-out” when dry bean harvesting resumes. The well-drained fields are showing the least damage. The rain and muddy fields prevented any harvesting last week. Still only 15 percent of the crop is harvested, compared to last year’s 68 percent and a normal of 55 percent. “Soybeans are looking good considering everything,” ac­ cording to a Montcalm County farmer. About 15 percent of the crop is mature versus last year’s 19 percent and a normal average of 13 percent. POTATOES AND SUGAR­ BEETS: Potato growers are digging what they can from each field. “Crawler tractors” are being used to pull wagons and harvesters to avoid getting stuck and to allow harvesting of as much of the field as possible. Digging is at a standstill in the Upper Peninsula. Sugarbeet growers are waiting for drier weather before they begin digging. HAY AND PASTURE: Some hay that was cut, but unable to be baled, has spoiled in the fields. Hay being harvested is being green chopped to fill silos or fed directly to cattle. Dairy farmers are concerned about feeding this green chop because of the danger of bloating. Ninety-five percent of the pastures are considered in average or above average con­ dition across the State. FRUIT AND VEGETABLES: Apple picking continued, though slowed by the rainy weather. Some apples are becoming soft and very easily bruised and are being sent to juice processors. McIntosh harvest is ahead of normal with 70 percent picked. The picking of Jonathans, Red Delicious and other apples is 30 percent completed. Grapes are ripening better than usual with half the harvest complete versus last year’s 20 percent harvested and a normal of 50 percent. There are some reports of grapes splitting. Vegetable harvesting was at a virtual stop due to wet fields and weather. Quality is not im­ proving. 8-State Museum conference to tour Charlton Park on Friday— HASTINGS-Museum profes­ sionals from eight states are gathering in Grand Rapids this week for the annual conference and the fiftieth anniversary of the Midwest Museums Conference.

Wednesday October 12. 1977 Harvest Festival 1977 Although the skies opened up and hit the entire area with heavy rains all weekend the first annual Nashville Harvest Festival was right on schedule. Considering the last minute planning, it had to be looked on as a reasonable success. A tentative date for the 1978 festival has already been picked for Oct. 6. For more photos and information about this year’s festival turn to page 9. The Maple Valley Marching Band really kicked it out during the festival parade. Sheriff Wood proposes new operation for Nashville Police Department- Maple Valley Homecoming Queen Kathy Dixson makes an appearance at the Harvest Festival. Princess Debby Laurie was also there. Barry County Sheriff David Wood talked with the Nashville Village Council lost Wednesday about the possibility of handling the Administrative duties of the Nashville police department through the Sheriff's department, and other proposals. (Maple Volley News Photo) A special council meeting was held last Wednesday night at the Nashville Village Hall to discuss ways of making Nashville police services more efficient. Barry County Sheriff Dave Wood and Undersheriff Jim Orr were on hand to present their proposal on the matter. Nashville president George Frith and Director of Public Works and Safety Tim Smith contacted the sheriff for advice on the subject. Sheriff Wood proposed to take over the administrative burden of the Nashville Chief of Police through his office and to relieve the patrol officers from lengthy investigations so that they can spend more time on patrol. '"I'm not saying there is any problem with the present police situation in Nashville,” said Wood, “but better service can be provided with help from our department. Money-wise there is nothing in it for our department, there is no cost to the village.” The Sheriff's Department is already providing some services to the village such as dispatching calls, breathilizer tests, and vehicles when necessary. The sheriff’s proposal included taking over the scheduling, budgeting and purchasing, personnel management (hiring and discipline), reports and records, insurance company reports, and forms and inquiries. “I’d want a finger in it (Nash­ ville police operations) more than usual if I’m responsible for actions of the officers,” said Wood. “If he takes the job,” added president Frith, "he has to be the boss.” “I would be directly respon­ sible to the village council,” said Wood, "and would attend a meeting about once a month. I would need a designated council member to touch base with and keep me continually informed." The sheriff said he would want the police office maintained at the village hall, and the senior officer would remain in charge of the police operation locally under his representation at the county level. He added that he did not wish to pull the Nashville department into the county department. He said in his proposal that two county detectives would be at the disposal of the Nashville department to alleviate lengthy investigations from the local officers shoulders, enabling them to provide more patrol time. Wood also said the department could receive more police coverage by hiring another of­ ficer or two through the CETA program. “You may be able to get a CETA man for virtually nothing." said Wood. “We have two of them in the Sheriff’s Department, and they are paid 100 percent through funding, including their uniforms.” The sheriff said he would require the men to take weapons training every six months just as the county officers do. “Don’t underestimate your own men (present Nashville officers), they both scored very high on our last weapons qualification.” Tom Oleson said it had been village policy in the past for of­ ficers to be required to live in Nashville. Wood agreed that this would be a good policy to keep should they hire a CETA em­ ployee. z The sheriff was open to suggestions as far as scheduling the officers. “I’d want to discuss scheduling with the council,” said Wood. “I must find out your needs in order to prepare effective schedules.” The sheriff said there is nothing concrete about the proposal, only ideas. In order for the proposal to be adopted he said he would have to get approval from the Barry County Board of Commissioners. The council voted to pursue a contract agreement with the sheriff and board of com­ missioners. and to draw up a model contract and review it with Nashville Village attorney Richard Shaw. Sheriff Wood said he would look into CETA programs available. Library receives federal revenue sharing check The Village of Nashville was able to pass on to the Putnam Public Library a check for $1000. from the Federal Revenue Sharing Program. Receiving the check on behalf of the library last Thursday was LaDusko Sheldon, center right. Doreen Sherman, Nashville village treasurer, presented the gift on behalf of the village. Looking on is Lois Elliston, councilwoman, and George Frith, village council president. (Maple Valley News Photo) �Th* MopW Voll*y M*w*, Nashville.

This was Maple Valley’s first shutout in two years as the last one was in 1975 when the young Lions defeated Battle Creek Springfield 24-0. Al Gardner and Tony Joostberns lead the Lions with 12 tackles each while Andy Powell had 9, Ken Wood 8, with Doug Cook and Glenn Godbey getting 7 tackles each. “It was rewarding to execute as poorly as we did and still win,” says Coach Mel Ruohonen, ’’but our defense held together with the strong play of Gardner, Joostberns and company. The touchdown by Vern Sargent was the first in his high school career and is well deserved as Vern is a very fine football player.

Wednesday October 12.1977 — Page 5 Good news club­ A weekly report from Ernest Nash State Representative POLICE BUDGET The Legislature has finally approved a budget bill for the State Police. HB 4157 would continue Detroit freeway patrols and expand them to other cities; it would also give $4.4 million to counties for local road patrols. RULES OPINION - Following the legislative override of his veto of SB 419, Governor Milliken has asked the State Supreme Court for an opinion on its con­ stitutionality. The law would give the Legislature more power over bureaucratic rule-making. PRIMARIES IN SEPTEMBER - Legislation currently in the House Elections Committee proposes to designate the second Tuesday in September as the date of the general primary election preceding each November general election and as the date of the so-called “odd-year primary election”. Proponents believe HB 5293 will provide for greater voter turn-out as well as allowing the student bloc vote in college towns. PROBATE CODE - Now before the full House are HB’s 4474-76, which together would revise Michigan’s probate code. One of their major features is a provision for “independent probate” of estates which would reduce court supervision to a minimum. It is estimated that more than half the estates in Michigan could and would be resolved by this method. TANKER REGULATIONS The Senate is now considering HB 5288, which provides for the yearly inspection and cer­ tification of trucks carrying hazardous material. This is in response to the double-bottom tanker problem; Governor Milliken and the Public Service Commission have Also taken separate actions to help protect citizens from potential tank-truck disasters. BAIL AMENDMENT The House has approved House Joint Resolutaion “Q”, which would amend the Michigan constitution to deny bail to people charged with certain violent felonies or who are repeat felons. If the Senate also approves, this will be on next year’s ballot. CRIME COMPENSATION - It is now the law that innocent victims who suffer physical in­ jury as the result of a crime may be compensated up to $15,000 by the state to cover lost wages and medical expenses. Requests should go to Crime Victims Compensation, Box 30026, Lansing 48909. HELMETS HELD - The House last week defeated HB 4304, which would have required the wearing of motorcycle helmets only by minors. Motorcyclists have long said that the present helmet law violates their constitutional rights, although the courts have said otherwise. HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT BUDGET - The Department of Highways and Transportation will go into the new fiscal year without a budget while the House and Senate dispute over the kind of budget to approve. The House has approved a three-month interim budget while a new transportation package is developed. The Senate has passed a full 12-month budget. Action is needed no later than October 13, 1977.

Saturday got started with the festival parade, featuring the high school and junior high school bands, several floats, the newly crowned Maple Valley Homecoming’ Queen Kathy Dixon and princess Debby Laurie, the 1977 Vermont­ ville Maple Syrup Queen Shirley O'Dell and her court, a kiddies parade,' nearly ancient farm tractors, the Barry County Sheriff's posse, and more. Sturdy young ponies battled the weights behind the stores on Main Street giving the crowd some exciting moments in the pony-pulling contest. The big disappointment of the festival was the no-shftw of the carnival rides many of the youngsters were looking forward to. The threatening weather scared the carnival company away it was reported. Entrees turned out in large numbers for the various contests being offered, including the harvest contest, the float and costume contests, the women's tug-o-war, the poster contest, and the bike and canoe races. All in all, the festival showed how a small rural town can work together for a particular goal and how that goal can bring the people together. Continued on page 10 Some mighty strange looking little folks show that they're anxious for Halloween. One of the oldest contests from years gone by are pony-pulling contests. The Vermontville Maple Syrup Queen Shirley O'Dell and her court made a special appearance at the festival. The junior high band kept tempo on its march down Main Street.

It surfaced last week that Wilcox had been stripped of his rank at a closed meeting held September 22, 1977. Individuals present at the meeting were Nashville Village . President George Frith, the six council members, and Wilcox. Wilcox requested the closed meeting. More than thirty interested citizens attended the meeting last week to voice their opinions on the matter, causing the session to be moved to the more spacious Nashville Fire Barn. The crowd conducted itself in a very respectful, controlled manner. The council expressed ap- preciation for the way the public represented itself. Russ Furlong read a. notorized letter sent to him by Kendal Wilcox concerning the content of the September 22 meeting. In the letter he (Wilcox) revealed that he had been condemned and criticizedfor aspects of Nashville police operations. The council had motioned to dismiss Wilcox entirely from the police depart­ ment. The council tie-voted and president Frith declined to vote. Under duress of being fired, Wilcox said he would drop his rank as police chief. After reading another notorized letter from Wilcox expressing his desire <A being reinstated as police chief, Furlong voiced his own opinion on the subject. “I come to this meeting to bring to your attention the fact that many residents and a very large majority of business men and women are very dis-satisfied with the action taken by the village council and president against our, and I reemphasize OUR, police chief Kendal Wilcox,” said Furlong. “I have with me petitions to back up this statement. These signatures are a result of only one day of petition circulation, but the research is the result of many days and nights of work. “My research with very knowledgable people convinces me that the direction in which our police department is now headed, with consolidation under the Barry County Sheriff’s Depart­ ment, will make our community nothing more than a guinea pig, a subject for experimentation. As a result of this ‘experiment’ in police protection the residents and business people of this community could very well come out as a living example of misinformed failure. “I have no intention of standing idly by and watch what has been eight years of ‘peace in the valley’ be destroyed,” continued Furlong. “This peace in our community has been brought about because of an individual who was right for the job and the community. He has the right type of personality to handle small town law enforcement without requiring the National Guard for backup or expecting a purple heart for his reward. “Thank you for allowing my presentation of what I believe is a justifiable request that you immediately reinstate Kendal Wilcox as police chief or else make specific signed charges why such action was taken against him”. “I personally removed him (Wilcox) as Nashville Chief of Police,’’ responded president Frith,” and I will not discuss it (reasons for action taken against Wilcox) without Mr. Wilcox present at this meeting. I don’t deny his ability.” Cont. page 11, column 3 — Irene Hamp retires from library Board after 30 years Irene Hamp has resigned from the Putnam Library Board after serving on it for 30 years.

Maple Valley Board sets tuition amounts for year At the regular meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education held Monday, October 10, the board members set the tuition charge for the 1977-78 school year at $224.93 per the Michigan Department of Education guidelines. The school district accepts tuition students only in the eleventh and twelfth grades providing the student has been enrolled in the Maple Valley Schools during the prior school year. Robert Dormer was elected as the board of education representative to serve on the Eaton Intermediate advisory committee for vocational education. The Board of Education voted to accept bids on three 66passenger busses at the November meeting. The school district presently operates 20 regular routes plus shuttle routes to the Jr.-Sr. High School, vocational bus twice a day to Lansing Community College, special education busses to Battle Creek and Charlotte, and the car transports students to special education programs in Lansing. Mrs. Peabody, special education coordinator, reported to the Board of Education regarding the programs being offered in the school district plus services available through the Eaton Intermediate School District. Maple Valley has three resource rooms at the elemen­ tary level and three resource rooms at the secondary level that serve the mildly mentally im­ paired, EMI, learning disabled, and emotionally impaired. The school district also employs a consultant for the learning disabled. The speech and language teacher is a part of the special education services program and works in grades K12 in addition to being available to work with pre-school-age children that qualify for the program. Presently 187 students are being served through the special education program. The Eaton Intermediate office provides the school district with a school psychologist, three social workers, consultant for the physically or otherwise health impaired, teacher for homebound, occupational therapist, and physical therapist Mr. Wolff reported that Con­ sumers Power Company has informed him that the school district will be receiving a boiler fuel surcharge on the boiler at the Jr.-Sr. High School in compliance with guidelines set by the Michigan Public Service Com­ mission. Such guidelines apply to any boiler rated at 6,600 cubic feet per hour or larger; and this added surcharge is estimated by Consumers Power Company at $926.10 per year. General approval was given the following revision for student conduct on busses. “When it is necessary to suspend a student from the bus for a one or two day suspension, the bus driver and parent will have a conference prior to the student being allowed to ride the bus again. For suspensions of three days or longer, the parent, bus driver, assistant director of tran­ sportation and-or school ad­ ministrator or director of tran­ sportation will have a conference prior to the student being allowed to ride the bus again. In all cases of suspension from the school bus, the driver shall notify the transportation supervisory personnel as soon as possible. The prior policy required that a meeting be held involving transportation supervisory, the bus driver, and parent any time a student was suspended from the bus.” Ernie Jacoby, Community School Director, reported that 114 sixth grade students participated in the camp program held at Mill Lake Outdoor Center (Waterloo Recreation Area) the week of September 26. Mr. Jacoby commented on the general Cont. to page 2, column 3 Local youth win regional dairy contest honors in MemphisLANSING--Four EAST Michigan youths won top ratings at the Mid-South 4-H National Dairy Cattle Judging Contest in Late September in Memphis, Tenn. Vying with 4-H teams from across the nation, Tom Edwards of Grand Ledge, dennis Jarrard of Nashville, George Koerner of Laingsburg, and Jim McKiernan of Memphis formed the top scoring team in the Guernsey class. The 4-H’ers, coached by Rodney Pennock of Nashville, also placed eighth in the overall team judg’ng. In individual competition. Jarrard won top honors in the Ayrshire class. McKiernan placed third in the Holstein class. and Edwards scored fifth in the Guernsey judging. Each youth judged eight classes of dairy cattle and defended their placings in four of the classes before official judges. “The purpose of the contest," according to Gale Baumgardner, Michigan 4-H youth dairy specialist, “is to give 4-H dairy members a chance to refine their evaluation, decision-making and verbal skills as well as to meet other youths with similar in­ terests from around the coun­ try."

Nashville, Wednesday October 19, 1977 -- Page 2 Nashville site of the Battle Creek senior citizen nutrition program­ In August. Nashville Senior Citizens became privileged to participate in the current government-sponsored nutrition program. The Nashville Masonic Temple-was the chosen site for the daily serving of the noon meal, where present funding allows 30 people to be ac­ commodated. The local super­ visor is Mrs. Lester (Mary) Heacock. The newly-organized group will hold a business session on the second Monday of each month. Officers elected elected were: president, Forest Babcock; vice­ president, Margaret Reid; secretary, Mary . Heacock; treasurer, Harry Beard; corresponding secretary and advertising manager, Feme Green. Rachel Beard and Ferne Green volunteered to act as the Sym­ pathy Committee responsible for sending convalescent cards and “thank you” notes. Alternates to regional meetings, in the event council members cannot attend, were elected. First alternates are Thelma Stewart, Clarence Reid, and Roy Boise; second alternates are Marguerite Ackett, Mrs. Paul Hosmer, and Dick Green. The name of an all-around handyman, willing to assist senior citizens with needed home repairs at a nominal cost, was presented to the group. A “telephone buddy system" is now in operation, whereby each senior citizen receives a daily call from another of the group to check on the welfare of that person. The group has a birthday party once each month, with a decorated cake, in observance of those having birthdays that month. Our largest project to date was a Bake Sale and Bazaar on Oc­ tober 7 in connection with the Nashville Harvest Festival. A nice profit was realized, and plans are established to have a bake sale quarterly. Tentative plans for a private (members-only exhibitors) flea market were discussed. This Flea Market will be open to the public for purchasing items for sale. Special entertainment has been a talk and slides by Roxanne Frith of her stay in Chile as an exchange student; Rack Display and talk by Fred Ackett, a flowerarranging demonstration by Edna Edwards, and slides by Hilda Baas on her trip to Hawaii. Plenty of games are provided for those wishing to linger and spend extra time just having “fun” socializing. Fox Photo^.

Main in Nashville New film is gripping true story — SHIOKARI PASS, a new film from the producers of THE HIDING PLACE, will be shown at Nashville Assembly of God (church), 735 Reed St., on Sun­ day, Oct. 23, 1977. The one-hour color release from World Wide Pictures will be shown once beginning at 7 p.m. SHIOKARI PASS is unique among World Wide Pictures productions. Although it has an English soundtrack, it was originally produced for showing to Japanese audiences. It was filmed entirely in Japan with a Japanese cast and crew, and depicts the delicate beauty of that country. The drama of the story unfolds against a backdrop of Japan’s spring blossoms, snowcapped mountains, and whispering native music. ' A true story, SHIOKARI PASS is based on the international best seller by Ayako Miura. Nearly two million readers have been touched by this story of the abiding love of a young couple at the turn of the century. Credited with creating a deeper understanding of the Christian faith among the Japanese people, the film tells of the love of Nubuo for Fujiko, and of his willingness to be guided by his personal faith, no matter how great the cost of commitment From its gentle opening to its gripping, unexpected conclusion, SHIOKARI PASS is a profound demonstration of the power of love in one life.. The The Reverend Robert Robert Taylor, Taylor, pastor of Nashville Assembly of God, extends an invitation to each member of the community to attend this pecial showing and added, “SHIOKARI PASS is the kind of film that will be enjoyed and remembered by the entire family.” There will be no admission charge for the film program.

Now, if some of you trout purists and billfish buffs think that the lowly catfish isn’t a subject worthy of discussion, don’t go away. There’s a whole lot more to this subject than meets the eye. Even the bullhead is important. This game little fish got most of us started on our angling careers, and today he’s still teaching youngsters and neophyte anglers what fishing is all about. The channel cat is not only a fine game fish, but a table delicacy as well. This species of catfish is making the southern fish fry as famous as the Maine clambake or Hawaiian luau. But, when it comes to sport, anglers who fish the turbulent waters below some of our southern dams will tell you that a 50-pound blue cat has no peer as an angling adversary. A big blue, which won’t quite fit into a wash tub, is really something to brag about in this part of the country. But, how about a catfish with a mouth larger than a wash tub?

The September 23 payroll in the amount of $70,775.69, and the October 7 payroll in the amount of $69,902.09 were approved for payment and transfer to the payroll account. Board members Wayne Cogswell and Arlene DeCamp were unable to attend the meeting. tarpon when hooked? This is the type of fishing that most folks don’t know much about, and I thought you’d like to hear more about it. These two species of catfish, plus hundreds of others, are found throughout the tropics in South America. The red-tailed catfish feeds mostly at night like many of our cats do, and are big and plentiful. One evening on the Araguaia River in Brazil I hooked and landed a dozen fish of this species, and each averaged between 40 and 70 pounds. That’s fair several hours fishing in any man’s book. On another occasion, while fishing an Amazon tributary a little farther west, a good-sized fish hit my trolled lure and gave me an hour’s fight before I could boat it. This fish, cleared the water several times during the contest, and when we finally hauled him up on a sand bar it tipped the scales at 60 pounds. The species is called a surubi, and is a trim, slender creature which looks unlike any other catfish. But, the piraiba is the cat that excites everyone’s imagination. Three years ago I checked with some of the Braniff Outdoor Council fishing experts and learned that this species of fish is particularly abundant around Leticia, Colombia. So I went fishing. On this trip I managed to land one fish which weighed 215 pounds and was nine feet long. But, I also lost a thousand yards of line and broke one rod on big cats which I never saw. Later, I found out that the piraiba frequently exceed 500 pounds in weight and more closely resemble a submarine than a fish. Like I said, there’s more to cat fishin’ than meets the eye.

Next year’s tabs are to be placed on top of 1977 tabs, in the upper right-hand corner of the plate. PREGNANCY HEALTH-Now before the House is HB 5257, which would require employer health insurance plans to include benefits for pregnancy or childbirth leaves. This is in response to a court ruling that these benefits could be excluded under present laws. PETITION DRIVE-Govemor Milliken last week was the first signer in a petition drive to reform our system of selecting Supreme and Appeals Court judges. Now justices must be nominated by political parties; under this proposal, appellate judges would be initially appointed and then subject to periodic approval-or rejection-by the voting public. FIRE PARKING- Now in the Senate is HB 4875, which would prohibit parking within 500 feet of a fire if the fire is outside city or village boundaries. If the Senate also approves this bill, it will help reduce the problem of “gawkers” interfering with fire fighting. HEATING MONEY ?-The federal government recently agreed to settle pending claims from our Department of Social Services million. for $32 Governor Milliken has now proposed that this money be used to expand the Home Heating Fuel Assistance program, in order to help pay utility bills and win­ terize homes of low-income senior and disabled citizens.

Fresh cider Jor sale. 5l(Mi West Gresham Highway. 517-726- Michigan’s studded snow tire era should click to an end this winter, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. Snow tires with metal studs have been illegal in Michigan since April 1975. Only vehicles equipped with radial-ply tires using studs known commercially as Perma-T Grippers are per­ mitted on state roads now. The firm that produced Perma­ T Grippers discontinued them in 1976, and an Auto Club check could find no other manufac­ turer. Auto Club was told by the only known Michigan distributors than when the existing stud supply is exhausted, no more will be available. A spot check of tire dealers in the Detroit area finds the existing supply of legal studs very limited. Michigan motorists whose vehicles already are equipped with the approved tires and studs may use them on Michigan roads north of a line from Mason to Arenac counties from Oct 1 to May 1. Below that line, they are permitted from Nov. 15 to April 1. Michigan motorists traveling state roads with illegal studs or with legal studs outside the set time periods are subject to a fine of up to $100 and-or a jail sentence of up to 90 days, Auto Club warns. It is the practice of Michigan State Police to extend to out-of­ state motorists traveling .Michigan roads the same privileges for studded tires permitted in their home states, Auto Club notes. Studs are illegal at any time in Wisconsin and in Ontario. Six other states in which studs are totally banned are Hawaii, Illinois, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi and Texas. (Min­ nesota permits out-of-state motorists with studded tires to drive on its roads for 30 days.) Auto Club notes that this year, 30 states allow studs, with varying time restrictions. The District of Columbia permits studded tire use from Oct. 15 to April 15. Twelve other states have no restrictions. Florida law, which does not specifically prohibit studs, makes it illegal to drive with tires that will damage hard surfaced roads other than through or-dinary wear and tear.

Ken Hausbarger caught the winning touchdown pass from Jim Horn last Friday with just 50 seconds remaining in the game to give Maple Valley a 15-10 comefrom-behind victory. Maple Valley opened the scoring in the first quarter by taking the opening kick-off and marching in for the touchdown. . Mike Hamilton went the final yard for the score and Robin Pendell added the extra point. Central Montcalm came back with the help of some costly penalties by the Lions to score a touchdown and a two-point conversion to take the lead at 8-7. Tim Burd then got the lead back for the Lions by stealing the ball from a Central Montcalm player and racing 52 yards for the go-ahead touchdown. The score at the half stood 13-8 Maple Valley. The third quarter belonged to Central Montcalm who again was aided by penalties and marched the ball in for a touchdown and took the lead 14-13. Early in the fourth quarter Maple Valley scored to regain the lead when Jim Horn scored following a fumbled punt by Central Mont­ calm. The score remained 19-14 Maple Valley until the clock showed 1:36 left in the game. Central Montcalm scored at this point on a 15-yard pass in the end zone and took the lead at 10-14. On the kickoff after scoring, Darrell Clements of Maple Valley returned the ball to the Maple Valley 44-yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, Jim Horn threw to end Ken Hausbarger who broke tackles and outraced the defense to the goal line with 50 seconds on the clock to bring Maple Valley the victory 25-20. Mike Hamilton led Maple Valleys rushing with 55 yards in 18 carries. Jim Horn completed two of six passes for 62 yards. Maple Valley ended the night with 162 yards total offense. The Lions defense was led by Ken Hausbarger with 22 tackles, Andy Joostberns 18 tackles, Scott Decker 12 tackles, and Quentin Ward 12 tackles. Mike Yost added 8 tackles and recovered two fumbles. Tim Burd had 7 tackles and scored a touchdown on the stolen handoff. Jeff Slocum in­ tercepted a pass at gaine’s end to insure the victory. The Lions travel to Montabella Friday to play the Mustangs.

The County Board of Com­ missioners voted July 12, 1977 to borrow money to pay off these taxes by selling General Obligation Bonds. Bids were accepted September 8. Hastings City Bank purchased bonds for the 1975 taxes offering interest of 3.4192 percentt on $300,000. Michigan National BankCentral of Grand Rapids purchased the bonds for 1976 taxes, offering 3.7913 percent interest on $980,000. The County Treasurer’s Office will continue to collect delinquent t, taxes the same as in the p past but, of disbursing the instead collection to the various units, it will be deposited in special ac­ counts to repay the bonds. The 1975 tax bonds will be paid in full in 1979 and 1976 tax bonds in 1980. Many Michigan counties have gone to this system-called a Delinquent Tax Revolving Fund. This procedure enables each taxing unit to have the entire tax levy at once, allowing them to budget more efficiently. The tax dollars can also be invested by the local units, earning more dollars than could be realized from the former method. A total of $918,122 was distributed among the 12 school districts in the county: $157,503 to townships, city and villages; $, $182,572 to o the County General Fund andd the County Drain Fund; and $60,962 to the seven intermediate school districts and the two community colleges.

It seemed the general con­ sensus of those attending the meeting opposed having the Barry County Sheriff’s Depart­ ment take over the ad­ ministrative duties of Nashville Chief of Police. Some people in attendance said they feared the sheriff’s department would take away the local officers and use them in other parts of the county at their own discretion. It was also voiced that if they (the county) take over the police department, they will then take over something else and create a snowballing effect. From Front — A weekly report from: Senator Richard Allen A bill (HB 4425) currently before the Senate would strike the present Michigan provision which prohibits the teaching of birth control information in school sex education courses.. Public opinion polls and a look at declining birth rates mightt cause one to think this bill would be quite non-controversial. Birth control is obviously widely accepted in our society. While official Roman Catholic policy is against certain forms, surveys of its members of child-bearing age show very little difference in practice from Protestants. Market Opinion Research, a respected polling firm, shows that over 80 percent of the people On one fact all sides agree. Teenage pregnancies have reached epidemic proportions and represent a most serious problem affecting individual lives, society as a whole, and our welfare budget in particular. in schools. Amongst the group most likely to have teenagers, those aged 30 to 45, the percentage is even higher. It is also shown that 80 percent of teenagers have received very little birth control information from their parents-a distressing figure perhaps, but one I think can generally be substantiated by asking ten friends if they’ve had serious, in-depth conversations about sex with their parents. demonstrated in areas such as child abuse, maternal and child health, education and em­ ployment levels, income, marital stability, and welfare dependency. Certainly lack of information and education is not the basic cause of this overall problem. The basic cause is really the tremendous increase in teenage sexual activity. The cause of this is hotly debated and no doubt multiple, but largely centers around changes in family structure and moral beliefs. It can be shown that education and information about birth control and human reproduction does reduce unwanted pregnancies. The rate, for in­ stance, is lower among girls of college age even though their sexual activity is higher. So where does the opposition to teaching birth control come from? First of all, not from any one place. Certainly not from one religious denomination. The Michigan Catholic Conference, a very active political force in Lansing, has not fought against the bill. Some Fundamental Protestant groups may be in­ volved, but no particular single denomination. If there is anything common to those who energetically testify against the bill and flood the corridors cornering legislators, it is a brand of" political con­ servatism. They view sex education as an favor teaching such information 1. If a fire starts in your oven, you should open the door. True False 2.

Over a million teenagers got pregnant last year. Abortions and miscarriages reduced the number of births to just over 600,000, amounting to one-fifth of all births in our nation. Another disturbing figure, at least to me, is that 87 percent of these teenagers keep their babies. It is with this group that serious adverse effects can be attempt by the government to take over an activity that should The council decided to locate Wilcox and summon him to the meeting. More support of Wilcox was voiced at the meeting. “The chief of police handles duties I’m sure'the council is not even aware of.” said Don Joseph, owner of Carl’s Market. “We have had a personal working arrangement with him on shoplifters, where he will take a youngster home on the first of­ fense and work it out with the parents. “We need a man on duty (in Nashville) during the daytime for shoplifters and bad check writers. The last time we had to call the sheriff’s department, it took them an hour and a half to arrive, and there’s been times when we eventually had to call the State Police and that’s not good. We could always count on your man (Wilcox) in five to ten minutes. I can’t say enough about what your man has done for us”. “I have the highest regard for Kendal,” said Rev. Robert Taylor of the Nashville Assembly of God Church. “I’ve worked with many officers in all my years in the ministry in various communities, and I’d like to say that I have more regard for him than any other policeman with his handling and concern for young people”. One person at the meeting complained^ about Wilcox’s lack of response when called to handle police action. Someone asked if the council made a hasty decision or if there had been prior discussion about Wilcox’s performance. The council said there had been considerable discussion on the topic for nearly four years. Considering the public support expressed of Wilcox at the meeting, the six council mem­ bers voted unanimously to reinstate him as Nashville Chief of Police. “I will not reappoint Kendal Wilcox until we can iron out our problems,” said Frith. “The issue is between Kendal and myself. I will be glad to sit down with Mr. Wilcox and discuss the problems. I’ve never questioned the man’s ability as a patrolman, it’s for his lack of communication with me”. Shortly thereafter, Wilcox arrived at the meeting where it was agreed upon for Frith and Wilcox to meet at the village hall following the regular meeting.

Main St., Nashville, has been selected as one of the Outstanding Young Men of America for 1977. The prestigious honor was awarded the 1966 graduate of Maple Valley High School this past spring and includes an entry in the annual awards volume of the Outstanding Young Men of America organization. The volume states that the young men honored in it, “highlight the achievements of thousands of young men who are, by their contributions to com­ munity and profession, shaping the future of our nation. These are the young men who give quietly and unselfishly that the quality of all our lives may be improved.” Douse left Nashville in 1966 to pursue a law career via a BA degree from Michigan State University in 1970 and a law degree from the University of Michigan in 1973. He worked as a law clerk from 1973-74 for the Honorable John Feikens of the United States District Court and then assumed his present position as a trial attorney with the An­ titrust Division of the United States Department of Justice. Civic accomplishments also add to Douse’s illustrious record and go back to his college days when he served as president and vice president of the Michigan State University Interfraternity Council. Douse also received membership in Phi Gamma Delta, Phi Eta Sigma, Tau Sigma, Omicron Delta Kappa, and the Blue Key. He was a member of Associated Students of the Michigan State University Student Board and also a member of the committee which helped select the University’s current president, Dr. Clifton Wharton. Douse still retains membership in the State Bar of Michigan. Douse and his wife, Karen, now reside in Silver Springs, Maryland, and both are very active in civic affairs of the Washington, D.C. area. Nashville is truly honored by its Out­ standing Young Man of 1977.

Richard Hill, 4-H Youth Agent for Eaton County for the past 11 years, has accepted a position in the State Extension Office at Michigan State University. Dick will be working as a liaison person between the Humanities section of the College for Human Ecology and the State 4-H Department of the Extension Service. He will be leaving the Eaton County Extension Service on November 1. Dick brought a different dimension to the County 4-H program when he arrived in 1967. His philosophy was to develop leadership both with the traditional 4-H volunteer leaders and with the 4-H members. He is a firm believer in helping young people to have a part in decision' making. Under his guidance the 4-H youth program in Eaton County has made the transition from offering the traditional rural type projects to a multi-faceted program that is of interest to all young people in today’s society. He has served the people of Eaton County well. We will miss him. An Open House will be held for Dick and his wife, Mildred, on Sunday, October 30, from 2-5 p.m. at Kardel Hall on the Fairgrounds in Charlotte. Everyone is welcome. Drivers beware pedestrians when Michigan switches back to Eastern Standard tine this Sunday! Michigan motorists are reminded that nightfall-the most dangerous period of the day for car-pedestrian accidents, especially those involving youngsters-comes an hour earlier after the switch to Eastern Standard Time at 2 a.m. Sunday (Oct. 30). “There were 19 five- to nineyear-old pedestrians killed by cars between 3 and 7 p.m. last year, and nine of those victims died between 5 and 7 p.m., when many motorists are returning from work in darkness,” stated Arthur C. Gibson, Auto Club Safety and Traffic Engineering manager. Motorists should adjust their driving in this period by: o Reducing speed while in­ creasing distance between cars, o Watching for signs of children at play, including bicycles and dogs. o Keeping windshields, headlights and taillights clean and in proper working order to insure optimum visibility. Parents of schcol-age children can increase their visibility by dressing them in brightly colored clothing.

All governmental units having responsibility for traffic control are encouraged to use the new Corn harvest safety tips“Disengage power and shut off the engine before leaving the operator’s platform to unclog, oil, grease, or adjust corn picking equipment. If this safety rule was followed by all operators while chopping or picking corn, we would eliminate most of the amputation accidents,-’ says Gary Friddle, president of. the Maple Valley FFA. , The Maple Valley FFA Chapter is currently making a drive for a safe corn harvest. They are calling attention to the need for farmers to follow safety practices and avoid taking needless chances. Program materials sponsored by the Michigan Rural Safety Council and the Agricultural Engineering Department at Michigan State University, are being distributed by chapter members. If the picker is properly adjusted, not only will less corn be lost in the field but there will be less clogging, according to the FFA. Harvesting early reduces field losses and avoids some of the bad weather that can make the crop difficult to harvest which leads to clogging problems. Members of the Maple Valley FFA Chapter have decided to promote the following points: * 1. Pickers or corn combines should be checked, repaired and adjusted before the harvest begins and all shields should be securely in place. 2. Moderate ground speed during harvest increases efficiency by reducing field loss and clogging. The hurried operator leaves more corn in the field and has more clogging problems. 3. Carry a pressurized drychemical fire extinguisher on the tractor or combine. Keep shucks cleaned away from the exhaust manifold. 4. Take a break every two hours or change off with another operator once or twice a day. 5.. Wear snug-fitting clothes that have no loose sleeves that may become entangled in machinery.

As of July 1,1977, 48 states and Puerto Rico have adopted legislation for the permissive right-turn-on-red rule. In Maryland and Maine, the legislation will become effective July 1, 1978, and May 1, 1978, respectively. The New York State law does not apply to New York City, where right-turn-on-red is prohibited. Only the states of Connecticut and Massachusetts now prohibit making right turns on red signal, except where a sign permits it. The District of Columbia does not permit right turns at any red signals. The new standards provide for right-turn-on-red (or left-turn-onred for one-way streets), except when engineering studies*. find one or more of the following conditions exist: 1. Sight distance to vehicles approaching from the left (or if applicable) is right, inadequate. 2. The intersection area is designed in a way that may result in unexpected conflicts. 3. There is a s ecial pedestrian crossing phase in the signal system. 4. Significant edestrian conflicts are resulting from rightturn-on-red maneuvers. 5. More than three rightturns-on-red accidents per year have been identified for the particular approach. 6. There is significant crossing activity by children, elderly, or handicapped people. If any of the six hazards exist, a “No Turn on Red” sign may be posted. The new standards are more flexible than and replace an in­ terim policy issued July 16, 1976, and have been incorporated into the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.

RUSS BENNETT PH. 726-0324 Vermontville, Michigan �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday October 26, 1977 - Page 5 Frequent rains slow crop harvesting­ Production prospects improved for soybeans and sugarbeets during September, according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. A record high corn crop of 164 million bushels is still being forecast, while the record high soybean crop estimate was raised to 18.7 million bushels. However, the dry bean forecast, 5.25 million hundredweight (cwt.), is 11 percent lower than last month as wet weather has played havoc with the crop. Heavy rains during September slowed harvesting of fall crops. Soil moisture is surplus in most areas of the State. Very soft ground made operation of dry bean, potato and silage har­vesting machinery impossible in many fields. Alfalfa made a large regrowth for a late cutting, but frequent rains have slowed harvest and caused spoiling of hay in windrows. Pastures are still providing good feed due to the moisture received. Forecasts for major Michigan crops are given below: CORN FOR GRAIN: The production forecast was held at 164 million bushels, 16 percent larger than last year’s crop. Heavy rains in September delayed harvest with standing water and muddy fields making it nearly impossible to operate harvesting machinery in many areas. Many cases of mould in ears have been reported this year. Yield prospects vary from poor in some areas to record highs in others. An average yield of 80 bushels, 11 bushels more than last year, is still forecast. DRY' BEANS: A crop of 5,250,000 cwt. is forecast, 8 percent larger than the small 1976 crop. Heavy rains during September caused considerable damage to dry beans and seriously delayed harvest. Wet weather caused excessive weed growth making some fields impossible to harvest. The crop was only about 20 percent harvested by October 1; whereas, 85 percent was in by the same date last fall. Yield per acre is estimated at 1,050 pounds per acre, a 100-pound drop from last month. SOYBEANS: An 18.7 million bushel crop of soybeans is now forecast, 62 percent larger than the 1976 crop. A record high 720,000 acres for harvest and a high yield of 26 bushels contribute to the large production forecast. Soil has been too soft to harvest mature fields. A hard frost is also needed to kill weeds. SUGARBEETS: Heavy rains in September improved yield prospects, but will also delay the start of harvest on many farms. A A crop of of 1,763,000 tons, tons, 14 per per­­ cent larger than last year is now forecast. There is concern that the sugar content of the crop will be low.

A decrease of 1,000 acres for harvest was partially offset by a 2-percent increase in yield. The average yield of 250 cwt. is equal to the all-time record high yield in Michigan. Wet fields have been a problem in har­ vesting and are also affecting the storage quality of the crop. RED CLOVER SEED: A red clover seed crop of 2.4 million pounds is forecast for Michigan. This is less than one-half of last year’s crop, but about equal to the 1975 production. The 25,000 acres for harvest is down con­ siderably from last year and the yield is also lower, although it is higher than 1975. Farmers are being troubled by the poor drying conditions in efforts to combine their crop. FRUIT: The apple production forecast of 540 million pounds is unchanged from August 1, but is 13 percent larger than the 1976 crop. Grapes are still forecast at 26,000 tons, 79 percent greater than last year’s tonnage. The prune-plum forecast of 15,000 tons is 25 percent above 1976 production, while the 12,000 ton pear crop is twice as big as last year’s small crop. Final data on the 1977 tart cherry crop in­ dicated Michigan growers harvested 162 million pounds of cherries. This final poundage is only 2 percent short of the 165 million pounds estimated before harvest began. Sweet cherry data indicates Michigan growers picked 23,000 tons. Production of both sweet and tart cherries was nearly double the 1976 harvest. Cabbage picking, at 85 percent complete, is slightly ahead of the normal 80 percent and last year’s 81 percent.

We have a whole Watch table FULL of out for the kids reduced clothing 50% or more off on Halloween Senator 292^94 One of the toughest things to do politically is to switch sidesespecially on a hot and hardfought issue. This is probably one good motivation for maintaining a good turnover in legislative bodies. The old-timers-in service, not age-get frozen, into positions. And, they (we) often refuse to examine new facts or changing public attitudes. There are several reasons why this develops. First of all, it is never easy to publicly admit you may have been wrong. Secondly, over a period of time, you build up allies and enemies based on your stand on controversial issues. It is difficult to turn your back, on those who have supported you through an election or two because they liked your stand. Moreover, those who may have disagreed with you initially on the same issue have probably watched you very closely and built up a list of reasons to oppose you. (Noone likes to admit he is a one-issue person.) And, they are suspicious if you come over to their side. Not only do they not welcome you with open arms, but those you left resent you more than those who have never been with your The press and other observers speculate on switching sides. “What did he get for that?,” is a natural question. As you have guessed by now, I’m considering switching sides on a hot issue-dog racing. You may not think of dog racing as a hot issue-it does not always generate a lot of media coverage. But for the racehorse industry, many protestant church groups, some outstate tourist interests, and a number of financial promoters, this HAS been a hot one for 10 years. I’ve been with the dogs. On this, as well as many other religious and moral issues from birth control to Sunday bar closings, I’ve taken the position that it is not government’s role to impose these strict beliefts on non-believers. I’ve seen no special reason to maintain the horse race monopoly on gambling. And, dog racing has been suggested as a viable economic activity for outstate Michigan, whereas horses need the big metropolitan crowds. And, of course, tax dollars raised voluntarily are always more attractive than those we have to impose. The argument that to prevent legal gambling is to promote illegal gambling is a strong one. But, a number of things have changed. A big factor is the state lottery. Those inclined to gamble throughout the state are doing so in a legal manner, and are thus contributing to the state treasury to support such services as education, health, and welfare. Also, the horses do have their competition, perhaps as much as they can stand and remain a viable economic activity. In addition, we do have a new racing activity in Michigan that most people have not yet discovered. And, it has good potential for economic activity in outstate, rural Michigan. That’s quarterhorse racing. It is already a small-town and rural activity in much of the country. Quarterhorses race one-fourth of a mile straight away. It’s exciting. And, it is now legal to have parimutuel betting. I hope it grows in popularity. So I may be voting against the dogs this year. ACTION-ADS FOR SALE: 30” electric range, good shape, $75.

High school football was played at the highest level last Thursday night as the Montabella Mustangs defeated Maple Valley on a 25 yard field goal with 30 seconds remaining in the game.

The extra point was completed on a pass to Doug Cook. With 1:53 remaining Maple Valley now lead 14-12. After the kick-off Montabella marched again finishing with the winning field goal. “It Was unfortunate NOT winning the game”, says Coach Mel Ruohonen, “but all the fine aspects of high school sports were exemplified in the ball game. The game was played without many penalties, good sportsmanship was wittnessed from both teams, and the boys provided the fans with good entertainment. It was certainly a team effort with Mead’s passing, 22 tackles by Doug Cook, plus the line play of Ken Wood, Ray Hole, Dennis Yost and Don Fox. One player that has received very little recognition this year is Jeff Horn. Jeff plays offensive end, defensive back, punts and fills in on speciality teams. In Thur­ sday’s game Horn caught four passes for a total of 69 yards. “Maple Valley’s record stands at 2-2-1 with their final game on November 3rd, with Potterville.

I’d like to say a few kind words about piranha. There're the toothy little fish fea­ tured in James Bond movies and frowned on as aquarium compan­ ions for goldfish. The average piranha you've heard about is some seven inches long, has a body like a bluegill, a tinge of crimson around his throat, baleful-looking red eyes, and a set of dentures that would put Dracula to shame. Teddy Roosevelt called them “the scourge of the Amazon,“and reported that they could strip the flesh from a grown man in less than a minute. Other reports indicate that they’re bloodthirsty little dev­ ils that devour everything that lives in the same element with them. They say piranhas are more danger­ ous than a white shark, a crocodile, a rabid wolf, or a neglected spouse. Well, only part of these claims are true. Before 1 made my first trip to the Amazon I called a Braniff feller, who 1 figured oughta be an expert on piranha, and asked him some questions. "Can't help you." was the reply. "How come?" 1 asked. "You're supposed to render a service to your customers." "There's a limit to everything." he suggested, and I suppose he was right. Back in those days even Al McClane didn't know anything about the subject. So I went to see for myself, and in the dozen or more expeditions I have made throughout the Amazon basin I've gotten fairly well ac- Vermontville had some good drives in the fourth quarter; but was unable to score which made the final score 12-8. Scott Whitemore got the most yards gained with 65, Scott Everett made 32 yards, Marty Martin 30 and Chris Barton had 27 yards gained. Chris Barton led the defense with 9 tackles, Steve Joppie and Marty Martin each had 6, Eric Brown had 4, Steve Gardner, Dale Hoch and David Brand had 3 tackles each. Marty Martin had one fumble recovery. Vermontville teams had a great record this season, winning 4 out of 5 ball games, which puts them in a three way tie with Nashville and Lake O’dessa for first place. J.V. Girls’ Basketball beat Central Montcalm for their 3rd win 26-18. Diane Cook was the leading scorer with 9 pts. Can­ dace Mater scored 5 pts. Joyce Warner also scored 5 pts. Leading rebounder was Kathy Christopher with 13 rebounds. The girls are playing exciting basketball. Wednesday night the J.V.’s lost to Lakeview 23-19. Leading scorer was Diane Cook with 14 pts. Next leading scorer was Robin Matson with 2 pts. Leading rebounder was Kathy Christopher with 10 rebounds. The J.V.’s were leading by 6 points with 3 minutes to go when the Lakeview girls scored 5 straight lay-ups to win. The girls were upset because we could not keep the middle plugged on defense to stop lay-ups. quainted with this little fish. We speared a crocodile one time, and. before we could haul this struggling reptile on the bank, a school of piranha attacked and picked his bones clean. I estimated two minutes for this task. While fishing in a shallow land­ locked lake during the dry season, piranha attacked and devoured three out of four peacock bass we hooked. 1 had a difficult time get­ ting enough fish for dinner that day. but the piranha dined well. Piranha are attracted by blood in the water and on occasions will at­ tack most woundedanimals. But. 1 am also convinced that these fish are attracted just as readily by the vibrations of struggling or injured animals, just as sharks are. That's one side of the story. On the other hand. I have only heard of one account of a person being attacked by piranha, and I've seen thousands of kids swimming in piranha waters and women washing their clothes in the shallows. A large black piranha wrapped my line around a submerged tree once and broke off. Without hesitation, my guide took off his shirt and pants and dived down to retrieve the lure. He and most other Ama­ zon natives I have met do not fear the little fish at all. Of course, there are more than a dozen species of this fish, and only four are known to be dangerous. The rest are no more vicious than other piscatorial predators swim­ ming around in our waters, and I w anted you to be aw are of this fact. Piranha aren't all bad. after all. �Th* Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday October 26, 1977 - Page 8 Varney-Pickard united Miss Kim M.

When Olga was 14 years old her parents sent her and her brother to a children’s camp in Miami where she spent 3% years. She was then moved to a foster home in the state of Washington until her parents came in 1967. The family then moved to Chicago for a year, then to New York for two years, but the climate was too cold for her parents so they moved again to San Diego, California where she met her husband who was in the Navy. She is a very efficient cashier and a nice addition to Main Street.

Nashville, Wednesday October 26. 1977 — Page 9 KNOW YOUR MERCHANT: Story and Photos by Randy Northover Nashville Hardware "Home of neighborly service"— Roots...each and every one of us has roots. Webster defines roots in several ways, one being "an underlying support, the essential core or heart”. Roots can also be defined as “the origin, the place where all things begin.” Ever since the movie, “Roots”, came to life on picture tubes across the country (attracting the largest television audience of all time), people everywhere have been exploring their own origins. For some, the search might take them half way around the world. For others it’s not so hard. For Jerry Brumm, owner of Nashville Hardware, the search ends in Nashville. Not that his ancestors don’t date back to some European town, it’s just that his “roots” are deeply embedded in the Village of Nashville. For over 13 years he' had worked for Consumers Power Company from a temporary meter-reader to General Building Services Supervisor. He most recently worked in Jackson until he opened the store at 105 N. Main, on May 16 of this year, where Maker’s IGA stood for thirty years. When you hear him tell about why he opened the new Nashville Hardware Store in Nashville, you know his heart has never left town. “I wanted to stay in Nash­ ville,” said Jerry. “I love this little town and it’s people. I felt too removed from Nashville even when I worked in Battle Creek (Consumers) to really enjoy it. I wanted to be in contact with the people in town and couldn’t think of a better way to do it. “We- wanted a business six months before we actually got Jerry shows a customer some of the merchandise in his sporting goods department. Nashville Hardware carries a good selection of hunting and fishing supplies. into it. Our orginal plans when we started looking into it, was to lease the Masonic Temple. We were within days of signing a five-year lease on it when the landlady of the Maker’s building (Sena French) called and told us Maker’s was closing in February. She had lots of offers on the building, but she wanted something that would be good for the town. She’s been absolutely super about it.” Opening a new business is no easy task. For starters, Jerry and his wife Sharon (Stutz), and Sentry sales representative Jack Kingsley, spent five Saturdays (eight hours a day) ordering inventory. “Jack sort df adopted us,” Sharon quipped. “He’s been just great. He went through everything, item for item with us”. It took the Brumms six weeks from the time they got the building to the time they opened the doors for business. They logged 14-16 hours a day, seven days a week remodeling the store. During that time they installed peg-board, painted the ceiling, built shelving, tiled the entire floor, and constructed a partition for the back room. They had lots of assistance from Jerry’s parents, Dick and Betty Goodenough, Ray and Annette Snore, and Larry Hook. Ron and Carol Tobias helped a great deal with the inventory. - “We wouldn’t have made it without these people,” said Jerry. The Brumms decided to be a Sentry Hardware dealer because of the company’s fine reputation. “During the six months that I knew I was going to get into the hardware business, I talked to as many hardware people I could all over the area. I heard lots of good things about Worthington’s (Sentry distributor) and when an old college friend of mine Rick VanDuesen who has a Sentry hardware store in Ionia had nothing to say but compliments for the company, it sold me. I’ll stand behind the merchandise, there isn’t anything in here that I Won’t guarantee.” Jerry and Sharon’s three children, Cindy, 13, Bob, 12, and Adam, 9, all help out at Nashville Hardware stocking shelves, sweeping, dusting, checking in stock, putting on price stickers, and waiting on customers. “I like to open the boxes,” said nineyear-old. Adam, “it’s just like Christmas”The store carries a good selection of hand tools, power tools, farm and' garden equip­ ment, shovels, rakes, farm and garden equipment, plumbing supplies and equipment, paints, nuts, bolts, hails, screws, and hunting and fishing supplies and licenses. They also rent-out Steam ex cleaning machines. “We are known as Nashville’s bow-hunting center,” Jerry quipped. “We will have live bait this winter. winter. We We’ll’ll carry everything but minnows’L Some of the services the store provides are cutting and threading pipe, mixing paint (1500 colors), quantity discounts, arrow-making, and ordering items in a short period of time. “We also offer advise for what it’s worth,” chuckled Jerry. “We have super customers, we ask as many questions of them as they ask of us. It’s a learning ex­ perience in more ways than one”. Jerry is a Nashville High School graduate, attended Alma College in Zoology, and Kellogg Community College in Business Administration. Besides working for Consumer’s for 13 years, Jerry has worked at E.W. Bliss, worked in a body shop and in construction. Sharon is a Hastings High School graduate and worked as a keypunch operator at Wolverine Insurance after high school before she and Jerry got married. She worked at P-Ring Piston Company for two years before they opened the store for business. Jerry and Sharon are 4­ H leaders, and Jerry served on the Maple Valley School Board from 1973-early 1977. Nashville Hardware is open Monday through Saturday from 8:30-5:30. The phone number is 852-0713. In his spare time, Jerry is a modern-day ‘Daniel Boone’, as he enjoys hunting and fishing to the fullest. -Sharon gets into oil painting, embroidery, sewing, and bowling for her leisure. But besides their family, the store and community are the most important things in their lives. “I. like people,” said Sharon. “It’s interesting (working at the store) and never routine. No two days are ever similar”. “I look forward everyday to opening up the store," added Jerry. “I just love it, thouroughly enjoy it. I like being close to home and I enjoy the people”. “I like the smallness (of Nash-­ ville),” said Sharon. “It’s a quiet, easy-going town,” said Jerry. “I like the farm folks, it’s our kind of town and our kind of people”. The Nashville Hardware Store slogan is “Home of Neighborly Service” and that’s exactly what you get when you visit the store. The store is bright and cheery, and the service is nothing short of that. If you have a spare moment it’ll be worth your while to stop in and say hello. It could make your day just alittle bit brighter. And Jerry or Sharon may even sell you a hammer or two. You can count on Sharon Brumm to greet the customer with a smile. It automatically comes with the service, and doesn't cost a cent. The whole Brumm family is actively involved at Nashville Hardware. Left to right are Sharon, Adam, 9, Jerry, Bob, 12, and d Cindy. 13. Adams says he likes checking in the inventory best. "I like opening the boxes,” he says. It s just like Christmas . Service comes naturally for Jerry Brumm. In photo he threads some pipe for a customer. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday October 26, 1977 - Pago 10 Winterizing recreational boats— Boat owners can prevent major weather damage and long delays in beginning next year’s boating season by taking a few precautionary steps this fall and winter. The following measures are recommended by the U.S. Coast Guard as a general way of winterizing recreational boats: 1. If you remove your boat from the water, make sure you store it with adequate support all around and not just with one or two points carrying all the weight. Put it under cover or place a weatherproof tarp over it leaving a way for air to circulate through and around the boat. 2. For outboard motors that use an electric starter, remove the battery, take it home and put DEER Cut and Quick Froze I *20 Pre-Skinned *25 With Skin See JOHN or MIKE Super Market 999 Reed St-Nashville 852-1621 it on trickle charge. If you leave your boat in the water (inboard cruisers and auxiliary sailboats) and use the battery to run an automatic bilge pump, arrange to have the battery placed on trickle charge at the marina and have it monitored. 3. Outboard motors should be flushed with fresh water and stored upright and out of the weather (in your basement or garage).

Do you owe your job to farming? Chances are pretty good you do since more than a quarter of all jobs are re­ lated to agriculture. For every farmer, there are nearly 10 other people whose jobs are related to supplying agriculture’s needs or associated with farm products as they move from original field to final consuming family. Already the total occupa­ tional influence of farming is reflected in the expanding vocational agriculture pro­ grams in urban and subur­ ban areas and the higher college enrollments in agriculture-related fields. The number of farm­ dependent occupations is expected to increase even more. Due to the ever­ increasing worldwide de­ mand, vocational emphasis on the food and fiber any soil where conventional tillage will work.” Farmers, and conservationists from across Michigan saw these nice looking no-till corn fields at the no-till field day last August Yesterday’s harvest of the same fields definitely shows no-till systems do produce comparable yields.

Wednesday November 2, 1977 - Page 3 A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative A three-bill package designed to make the administration of estates simpler, quicker and less expensive, has passed the House, reports State Representative Ernest W- Nash (R-Dimondale). These bills, called the Probate Code Revision Package, were developed over a two-year period by a special subcommittee of the . House Judiciary Committee, on which Nash served. The subcommittee worked with an advisory committee representing senior citizens, probate and trust lawyers, financial trustees and probate judges. Representatives of all groups agreed on the bills which were adopted unanimously by the House. “The approval of these three bills represents a major overhaul of the complex and much maligned probate code,” Nash said. “These changes, if approved by the Senate and signed into law by the Governor, would have significant bearing on the probate affairs of all Michigan residents, particularly senior citizens,” he added. One bill, which makes the administration of estates sim­ pler, quicker and less expensive, represents the meat of the total package. Its most important feature is a new “independent” or “unsupervised” probate, which reduces court supervision to a minimum. “This procedure,” Nash ex­ plains, “would require only four basic processes: filing a petition with the court to open the estate; preparing an inventory of estate assets to be distributed to in­ terested parties; publishing one notice for creditors; and filing the closing statement with the court. “As long as the heirs and creditors are satisfied with the manner in which the estate is being handled, this informal procedure may continue. The parties may, however, bring the matter to formal proceedings if any disagreement or dissatisfaction arises,” Nash said. The entire process is based on the Uniform Probate Code, with modifications to fit Michigan’s framework. A second bill would place the organization of the Probate Court in the Revised Judicature Act, where the organization, jurisdiction and authority of all other courts are found. MEMBER Presently all the powers and authority of the Probate Court are included as part of the code itself. Another part of the three-bill package would raise the one-day estate settlement provision from $7,500 to $20,000; increase the Homestead exemption from $3,500 to $10,000; eliminate costly appraisals in most cases; allow the probate estate to be closed even though tax questions have not been finalized; and allow those who need a guardian to have some voice in the selection of the guardian. “After working on these proposals for more than two years, I feel they represent a significant step forward insofar as revamping the probate code. “The unanimous vote of app i roval by the House certainly indicates that all groups concerned agree with the steps we have taken. I would hope this kind of support continues over in the Senate,” Nash said. UNEMPLOYMENT TAX-Now in the House is SB 801, which would increase unemployment compensation taxes on Michigan employers. This is needed to repay a debt to the federal government incurred during the 1974-75 recession; it must be law by November 10. TIRE LAW-Governor Milliken has signed into law a bill establishing minimum tire safety standards. Tires with less than one-sixteenth inch of tread, or other defects, are now considered “unsafe” and cannot legally be sold or used on passenger cars. DOG RACING-For the 12th time in as many years, the legislature has again defeated a bill to legalize greyhound racing and parimutuel betting in Michigan. Proponents said dog racing would be a good way to increase state and local revenues, but were very much in the minority. PROBATE CODE-The Senate is now considering HB’s 4474-76, which would revise Michigan’s probate code to permit “inin­ dependent probate” of estates through a personal represen­ tative, This would minimize court supervision. The bills also reduce bonding requirements, increase the value of estates which can be settled in one day, and increase the homestead exemption. ENERGY MONTH-The Governor has designated November as Energy Month in Michigan, to focus our attention on present energy issues, the importance the various forms of energy have in our lives, and on new ways to conserve energy and use it better. LAETRILE HEARING-Many people attended last week’s House public hearing on HB 4903, which would allow the use of laetrile in Michigan when prescribed. Some witnesses were enthusiastic about the drug, but others cautioned that scientific evidence on its effectiveness is as yet insufficient to disregard the FDA ban.

Twelve-pound bass have been caught here, though, and as the bass population continues to mature average catches are almost certain to run larger in size. Incidentally, the limit is five fish per day, with a maximum possession limit of 25. Obviously, most anglers release most of their catch. These Mexican fish have the same habits and lure preference that our bass do. They gobble up plastic worms as fast as they hit the water, and a spinner lure buzzed through the brush is another sure-fire way to get a strike. Crank baits are also popular, and when your arms get tired from fighting these scrappy largemouth don’t expect to get any relief by snapping on a surface lure.

Farmers are in the forefront of recognizing the problem. (In my opinion, farmers are a very progressive element of our society. They are often the first to recognize the need for change and to show a willingness to try new methods. Unfortunately, they have become a small political minority, so their willingness to change institutions and methods, increase produc­tivity, etc. has not been a potent feature of our society in recent years.) Time was when many farmers viewed the possibility of selling off a few acres for development as their financial security for the future. Times have changed, however, and so have farmers. The old-timers in the business have weathered some mighty tough times and are confident of their ability to continue farming. A new young and agressive group is now- moving into agriculture, putting together economic units from those which, because of age or other factors, are leaving. These diverse types of farmers have one thing in common-they look to agriculture as their financial security for the future and, they see development in rural areas as a threat, not an aid.

THE HECKER AGENCY and throughout northern Michigan. The rufal life is gaining in appeal compared to cities. Also, economic factors often favor building on a rural road. । Partly due to restrictive annexation laws, good property for development is lacking in many cities and towns. When it is available, current requirements for streets, drains, and sewage systems often put minimum .lot prices in subdivisions in the twenty thousand-dollar class. But, the current residents of that rural area, especially far­ mers, are discovering something. As more people come to the country, they require those same services they would have needed in the subdivision. Improved roads and sewage may likely cost more than it would have in town. But here’s the catch. The costs will not be bom only by the new residents, but spread across previous landowners, Thus, farmland--already, heavily taxed-picks up additional costs for providing human services. Other problems also crop up. . New residents may not ap­ preciate traditional agricultural odors. A few corners cut out of a rectangular field may make it difficult to farm with modern equipment and less desirable to a farm renter. ( A "widow handing onto farm land in a developing area may find that the nearest farmer willing to rent is a few miles aiway. Some land ends up standing idle. High taxes and a lack of land force farmers back and the price of remaining scattered land may even - drop. Service in­ dustries, such as implement dealers and grain elevator's, diminish. The local veterinarian switches to small animals only. Farmers have recognized the problem and are discussing solutions. Changes in the plat act, subdivision law, annexation laws, and enactment of a State Land Use Act recognizing conserving of agricultural land and are likely proposed solutions.

Home parties can be substituted for "trick or treating" along dark streets. Auto Club employe Laurie Berjeski isn't "clowning" when she points out that adults should accompany children, even if just walking to and from parties. Her long-eared friend, Christina Cheske, wears the ideal costume — one that is easily seen by motorists at night with a painted face rather than a sight­ obscuring mask.

(Photo Supplied) 637 South Main in Nashv If you have hay that is tall enough to cut, go ahead and harvest it. Michigan State University research shows that cutting alfalfa after mid-October will not hurt next year’s yield or stand. The reason is that there is virtually no regrowth now and no further depletion of carbohydrate root reserves. Root reserves are necessary for good spring regrowth. Even summer seedings made in late July or August this year will likely have adequate growth for harvest now because of good rains. It is also time to begin planning your alfalfa spray program. The recqmpjqqded spraying time is early November when the alfalfa is dormant. For control of broadleafs in established stands the recommended spray is MCPA. If grasses are a problem in established stands, simazine may be considered. However, before spraying any alfalfa be sure to check the product label for recommended application rate and product limitations. Because alfalfa is a very sen­ sitive crop, extreme care should be taken to make sure you apply the proper product at the correct ACTION-ADS MAPLE VALLEY ATHLETIC BOOSTERS’meeting, Wednesday night at 8 p.m. at the high school.

Theisen again added a two point conversion to seal the 24-0 victory for Saranac. The Lion offense was limited to just 138 yards and 8 first downs. Chuck Reid led the attack with 44 yards in 14 carries. Jim Horn completed 6 passes, two to Robin Pendell for 21 yards. The Lion Defense was led by Ken Hansbarger and Andy Joostberns with 8 tackles each. Mike Yost added seven tackles and Bo Erwin chipped in 6. The Maple Valley Defense allowed only 167 yards and 8 first downs, as the statistics for the game remained close, except for the final score.

Mr. Dennis Hale, Mr. Joseph Payne, and Mr. Robert Adkins were three very fine fathers who drudged the cold-wet weather to spend the weekend out with the boys. They learned the basics of fire building, first aid, rope tying, outdoor cooking and rescue. Dean Hale, Mike Payne, Robert Adkins, Ken Gillig, Jimmy Weiler, and Jay O’Brien were the Webeloes that attended. On October 18 after .a post­ ponement of one week, we held our annual hayride and weiner roast out at the, Harman gravel pit north of Vermontville. The boys rode on a wagon full of hay and driven by Archie Wallace to the gravel pit. After a long seige in learning to start a fire with wet wood, we held a weiner roast. Each den then had a treasure hunt and uncovered the buried treasure, and we also had a battle with a “tug of war”.

The parents were suppose to dress up, too, but only the den leaders did this year. Shame on you parents. Well, anyway, everyone seemed to enjoy the evening. They played basketball throw, beanbag throw, bobbing for apples, had a fortune teller and a spook house. Refreshments of donuts and cider furnished by the Webeloes topped off the evening.

Probably when hunting casualties are mentioned, most people think of shooting ac­ cidents. Far too many hunters, however, are the-victims of heart attack because they failed to realize the hazards of unac­ customed exertion during cold weather. Dr. Sol Pickard, Henry Ford Hospital cardiologist and president of the Michigan Heart Association, explains: “Cold weather is a hazard to the heart in itself. The body reacts to cold weather by constricting its small arteries, thus making it harder for the heart to do its job of pumping blood to all parts of the body. While this is happening, the hunter may be putting himself through the added exertion of cross-country hiking which he may not have experienced since last year at this time. Combine these two factors, and you may be a candidate for a heart at­ tack.” “There are, however, several precautions a person can take to reduce these hazards while hunting,” Dr. Pickard says. “First of all, never hunt alone. Get a good rest before starting out and. be moderate in your eating and drinking. Also, be very cautious about smoking in cold weather, since smoking also constricts the blood vessels.” Other precautions you can take, says the Heart Association, are: -Wear several layers of light warm clothing. This will keep you warmer than one heavy layer. -If you are on medication for your heart, be sure that other members of your party know what it is, where you keep it, and instructions for its use. -Know the symptoms of a heart attack: A sensation of fullness, heaviness or squeezing pain in the center of the chest, which may spread to arm, shoulder, neck or jaw, and may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, sweating or shortness of breath. Symptoms may sub­ side and then return. -Get help to “drag the bag” out of the woods back to camp-it can be very physically demanding to do so! “It has been found,” says Dr. Pickard, “that hunting may QUADRUPLE the demands normally put on the heart as extremes of weather, change of altitude, rough terrain and the stress of the chase can levy heavy tax on the hunter’s capacity. Don’t be one of the casualties.” The Michigan Heart Association is a United Way agency. Public invited November 1 to blind Home Industry Fair” in Lansing The public is invited to attend the first afternoon session of a two-day Home Industry Fair for the blind scheduled November 1 and 2 in the Michigan School for the Blind auditorium at 715 West Willow Street, Lansing. The public session—set from 4 to 6 p.m. on November 1-was included in the program to enable Fair participants to display and offer their home industry products and crafts for sale, according to Harold Payne, director of the Office of Services for the Blind (OSB). “All proceeds from a sale will go directly to the blind person iyho produced the item,” Payne explained. The Fair is sponsored by OSB, an agency within the Michigan Department of Social Services. It will include the exhibit of home industry products and the public sale, a workshop dealing with the development of a home industry and “an opportunity for those involved to share experiences with one another.” “The workshop is intended specifically for those involved with, or interested in developing, a home industry,” Payne said. “It will feature formal presen­ tations by guest speakers and a question and answer session.” < q, .

Matt Peake and Kenny Bishop earned the Recruiter Badge this month. Cubmaster Ken Meade announced that the popcorn Sales were going well. Again this year there will be a calendar for the following month available at the pack meeting so that parents will know ahead of time when something special is scheduled. Refreshments served to the folks there included cider, coffee, hot chocolate and donuts. This pack meeting was quite short but interesting and hap­ pened to fall on an evening when INDIAN SUMMER had just begun. Continued from page 4sizing just before harvest. Even though production is up this year, the sugar content is below what the grape industry likes. Harvest has drawn toa dose. The October 1 forecast is for 26,000 tons compared to 14,500 tons last year. The harvest of prunes and plums is complete. The crop is set at 15,000 tons, 15 percent above last year’s 12,000 tons. The 1975 crop was 18,000 tons. Peaches and pears also produced larger crops than 1976 based on earlier forecasts. Peaches are forecast at 65 million pounds, well above the 40 million pounds of last summer and equal to the 1975 crop. Pears are estimated at 12,000 tons in 1977, double the 1976 crop, but less than the 15,000 tons harvested in 1975. �TO VISIT OUR BRIDAL BOUTIQUE Every bride dreams of the perfect wedding . . a day that she will hold dear all through their lives together.

Nashville, Wednesday November 9, 1977 - Page 2 North-bound deer hunters should encounter few traffic problems— When Michigan’s 700,000strong “redcoat army” heads north for the firearm deer season, hunters should encounter few traffic problems because the November 15 opener comes at mid-week, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. “Since this season opens on a Tuesday, the bulk of hunter traffic should be spread over the weekend prior to opening day,” stated Joseph Ratke, Auto Club touring manager. Traffic bound for the northern two-thirds of Michigan November 11-12 (Friday and Saturday) should approach that of a summer weekend, but north­ bound flow November 13-14 (Sunday and Monday) should be much heavier than usual. • Friday (Nov. ID-between 4 and 9 p.m. • Saturday (Nov. 12)-between 8 a.m. and 1 p.m. • Sunday (Nov. 13)-between 1 and 10 p.m. • Monday (Nov. 14)-between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. Hunters may be slowed during peak travel times at two points, Auto Club advised.. Northbound US-131 is closed between Wealthy and Pearl Streets in Grand Rapids. Traffic is detoured via M-ll (28th Street) and 1-196, adding 6.2 miles to the normal route. Northbound 1-75 just south of the Zilwaukee Bridge near Saginaw is reduced from three lanes to two. Motorists can avoid possible congestion by taking northbound 1-675, rejoining 1-75 a mile north of the bridge. No other construction projects on roads leading north should seriously affect deer hunter traffic.

According to Wendell Sommers, Eaton County Soil Conservationist, the damaging ruts would have been even more severe had extra wide tires not been used. Nearby, in the no-till plots, the residue left in the fields prevented the same combine from sinking. (In the No-Till ttechnique, the seed is planted through a chemically killed residue into soil which is untilled except for a narrow strip just wide enough for the tender seedling to sprout. The method is made possible through the use of a new chemical tool called Paraquat which speedily kills existing weeds, used in combination with residual herbicides which prevent weed seeds from wcprevenweeseesrom germinating, weeds which in both cases would compete with the corn for soil moisture and soil nutrients.) W’/S Actual harvest yield results were almost instantly obtained for Harvest Day observers at a field-side computation center composed of a “weigh wagon” provided by Northrup King Seed Company, Dan Cook’s sophisticated moisture tester (adjusted to 15.5 percent moisture), and electronic calculators. Areas to be com­ bined were carefully measured and stalk counts were taken. Highest yielding in the com­ parison tests was the No-Till plots on Dan Cook’s farm which produced 142.2 bushels to the acre. The average of Dan’s several No-Till test plots was 138.2 bushels to the acre. All of Dan’s No-Till plots yielded more than his conventionally planted corn, which produced 133.4 bushels-acre. Dan’s No-Till plots were planted in growing wheat and in wheat stubble. Northrup King PX 32 was the corn variety planted in aii his iesi plots. Weed control in the No-Till plots was good, with all Michigan State University’s recommended combinations of residual herbicides being used with Paraquat, with comparable results. Warren Cook, Eaton County Extension Agent who carefully directed the fact-gathering operation, said of the test plots “Up to now all we had was speculation. This,” he said, referring to the factual data, "is proof positive.” Dan Cook (no relation to the Extension Agent) attributes his success in No-Till to good Overcast skies, drizzle and soggy fields greeted those who attended the No-Till Harvest Day held at Dan and Margaret Cook’s near Vermontville, farm Michigan.

Between 100,000 and 105,000 deer should be taken this season. The majority of hunters are expected to take to the woods in the north central Lower Penin­ sula. Hunters are reminded that they must wear either a hat, vest or coat of blaze orange to hunt on public lands. Auto Club will provide traffic bulletins via radio for traveling deer hunters between 3:15 and 11 p.m. Friday (Nov. 11) and bet­ ween 8:15 and 11 p.m. Saturday (Nov. 12) through Monday (Nov. 14).

I have recently attended a Maple Valley varsity football game and was very disturbed by the crowd. Not only this week, but previous weeks also. Not only was the visitors crowd larger than ours but they had more enthusiasm and backing for their team. Maple Valley, on the other hand, did not have half as much enthusiasm as they should have, considering the importance of the game. As soon as Maple Valley got behind, it seemed like the crowd gave up hope. I was particularly disgusted with the bigmouths in the stands. These people, using megaphones in fact, ridiculed the referees with no reason and got the team down even more. I. even noticed someone with very high status making a fool of himself. Some examples these people are set­ ting for the younger generations! I also was enraged with hearing the hopes of the M.V. crowd for players on the other team to be injured-one player in particular, mainly because he played a big roll in the defeat of Maple Valley. I am sure they would not act this way if it were their son. It is no longer the Portland or Saranac crowds that are mouthy, but Maple Valley, and I am ashamed to tell people I am from this community! I am not speaking of the majority of M.V. fans, just a small portion of the crowd. from a Disappointed Fan Hastings Business & Professional women’s Club meeting The Hastings Business & Professional Women’s Club is having a meeting on...

Wednesday November 9, 1977 - Page 6 Maple Valley schools announces new policy for free or reduced meals for school year— The Maple Valley Schools announced its policy for Free Meals and Free Milk or *Reduced Price Meals for children unable to pay the full price of meals and milk served under the National School Lunch, School Breakfast, Special Milk Program, and U.S.D.A. Donated Foods Programs. Local school officials have adopted the following family size and income criteria for deter­ mining eligibility. The prices have been broken down in Total Family Size in both Scale for Free Meals and Free Milk and Scale for Reduced-Price Meals. Total family size of one-$3,930$6,120; total family size of two15, 160-$8,050; total family size of three-$6,390-$9,970; total family size of four-$7,610-111,880; total family size of five--$8,740$13,630; total family size of six$9,860-$15,380; total family size of seven-$10,890-$16,980; total family size of eight-$ll,910$18,580; total family size of nine$12,840-$20,030; total family size of ten-$13,760-$21,470; total family size of ll-$14,680-$22,890; total family size of 12-$15,590$24,310.

In addition, families not meeting these criteria but with other unusual expenses due to unusually high medical expenses, shelter costs in excess of 30 percent of income, special education expenses due to mental or physical condition of a child, and disaster or casualty losses are urged to apply. Application forms are being sent to all homes in a letter to parents. Additional copies are available at the principal’s office in each school. The information provided on the application is confidential and will be used only for the purpose of determining eligibility. Applications may be submitted at any time during the year. To discourage the possibility of misrepresentation, the ap­ plication forms contain a statement above the space of signature certifying that all in­ formation furnished in the ap­ plication is true and correct. An additional statement is added to warn that the application is being made in connection with the receipt of Federal funds, that school officials may, for cause verify the information in the application, and that deliberate misrepresentation of information may subject the applicant to prosecution under applicable State and criminal statutes. In certain cases, foster children are also eligible for these benefits. If a family has foster children living with them and wishes to apply for such meals and milk for them, it should contact the school. Children of unemployed parents may qualify for free or reduced-price meals and-or free milk if total family income in­ clude welfare payments, unemployment compensation and sub-pay benefits fall within the prescribed family income guidelines. In the operation of child feeding programs, no child will be discriminated against because of race, sex, creed, color, or national origin. Under the provisions of the policy the building principal will review applications and deter­ mine eligibility. If a parent is dissatisfied with the ruling of the official, he or she may make a request either orally or in writing to: Carroll Wolff, Superin­ tendent, Maple Valley Schools, 11090 Nashville Highway, Ver­ montville, Mich. 49096; Phone 852-9699, for a hearing to appeal the decision, The policy contains an outline of the hearing procedure.

We started with 42 boys and finished with 39. There’s something missing when the practice and games are over. The coaching staff at Maple Valley is very pleased with the growth of our football program and we hope that parents with sons will encourage them to join in on our future teams. Thanks again for the strong support showed by the fans this year.” Most of the participants were from a local area, but some also came from the Upper Peninsula as far as Iron Mountain. Our first speaker of the day was Governor William G. Milliken. He seemed to be very interested and concerned about one of the world’s major problems, that’s why he set up a committee to designate November as the second annual Energy Month. Milliken spoke of many dif­ ferent and important viewpoints. Some of his basic points were: • Don’t have a negative at­ titude. He pointed out that in all the past years people have had a negative attitude, and if we want to make accomplishments to better our problem, we have to have confidence that we can. • The concerned youth play an important role. The teenagers are tomorrow’s generation.

The Vermontville scouts have been meeting for about a month now with six troops established. There are three Brownie troops, one for each first, second, and third graders. Also a Junior troop for girls in fourth, fifth, and sixth. A Cadette troop for girls in the seventh, eighth, and ninth, and a Senior troop for the tenth, eleventh and twelfth graders. Heading up the scouts and leaders is Joyce Rathburn ser­ ving as the Service Unit Director for Vermontville again. Senior troop 108 is headed by Janice Baker and Yulanda McClure. Cadette troop 205’s leader is Juanita Mateer and Senior scout Cheryl McClure. Junior troop 313, having the most girls, is lead by Debbie Stevens, Nancy Wright and Emma Trowbridge. Brownie troop 353 is lead by Donna Wyskowski and Nancy Wyskowski. Brownie troop 153’s leaders are Paulette Strong and Cathy Nichols and the first graders troop 244 is headed by Linda Maxson and Judy Gardner. The troops have already registered but later registrations may be sent in any time. This is a cost of $2. Besides that fee, each troop sets its own troop dues to operate. A brand new handbook for Brownies and Juniors combined, along with a new Junior Badge record book is being used this year. The world of scouting has a new theme, using “Five Worlds to Explore’’, these being: The World of Well-Being, The World of People, The World of Today and Tomorrow, The World of the Arts, and The World of the Out-of­ Doors. Another change is that a new patch program for Brownies has been introduced. The troops have been very busy these past weeks already.

Nov. 7 to Nov. 14,1977 VOTE TUESDAY - Remember to vote this Tuesday in your local or city election. Off-year elections nearly always have a low voter turnout, yet they determine the makeup of the level of govern­ ment that’s closest to you. Voting is a privilege and duty. SCHOOL SPEEDS - Now in the House is SB 915, which would set a 25-mph speed limit in school zones at least 30 minute before and 30 minutes after regularlyscheduled school sessions. Also, streets next to city-owned parks may1 have a 15-mph limit. HOME HOUNDING - The House has approved HB 5418, which would give homeowners the right to ask that they not be solicited to sell by real estate brokers. Brokers who disregard such requests could be fined up to $500. TAX CONFERENCE Both houses have approved different versions of SB 734, which revises the Single Business Tax. The House emphasized tax relief to small and low-profit businesses via increased labor cost and income exemptions, while the Senate prefers a heavier tax on corporate profits and a lower rate on small firms. A conference committee is seeking a compromise. EAVESDROPPING BILL - the House last week initially defeated HB 4372, which would prohibit recording telephone calls unless all parties gave permission. Under the bill it was argured a victim would need permission of an extortionist before a recording of the call could be made. TRANSIT PACKAGE? After nearly a year of negotiations, a comprehensive , transportation plan boosting support for road and mass transit systems now appears to have little chance of passage. In the meantime, the Governor has signed a stopgap appropriations bill for the High­ way Department, and has again urged approval of some form of total transportation package. TAX EXEMPTION - Now in the Senate is HB 5284, which would exempt from Michigan sales tax therapeutic devices which are prescribed by a licensed physician and which are sold to a person 60 years of age or over; this includes things like neck braces, and walkers. VANITY VANS - The House has approved HB 5024, which would allow the state to issue per­ sonalized license plates for non­ commercial vans. These plates would cost $25 more than normal plates (the same as for passenger cars); this money would go for highway litter pickup. HUNTING LAW - It has come to my attention that both farmers and sportsmen are misun­ derstanding P.A. 323-76, which allows people to hunt or fish on farm land with written per­ mission from the landowner.

The public is invited to attend, and no ad­ mission will be charged. The seminar under the direction of David Bridges is designed to help interested persons establish their “roots", or a research of their ancestors, and to explain new methods and techniques currently available to the genealogy hobbyist. Two courses will be offered, a basic or introductory class showing “how to get started", and home sources available which will be taught by Hal Jamison, a genealogical instructor from the Kalamazoo area. And an advanced course teaching methods of individual and family record keeping, and aids, libraries and assistance readily available. Instructing will be Harriet McA-nally, a Grand Rapids resident, who has been teaching genealogy for four years, and who is a member of several genealogical societies in western Michigan. Searching for records of their kindred dead is much more than a hobby for the 3.8 million Mormons throughout the world. They operate the world’s largest genealogical library and are engaged in the most aggressive genealogical microfilming operation ever known. Under the direction of the Church Genealogical Society, members search out these important records and send them to Salt Lake City where they are microfilmed and preserved, and kept available for personal research. After the members of the Church have compiled the needed genealogical information on an ancestor, they can have the data checked and cleared by the Church and then perform the important ordances for that relative. This way they are able to complete the necessary or­ dinance work for their ancestors that were unable to do the work CYCLONE Fan-cooled family machine kicks up a storm on cross-country Stability, handling, en­ durance ...

The members believe that family ties established in this life do not simply last “until death do you part”, but that they will continue for “time and all eternity” when “sealed” by the proper authority. This “sealing” to unite families can also be performed vicariously for those ancestors who have passed on. In this way, not only husband and wives are joined for eternity, but parents and children, grand­ parents and grandchildren, and so forth for as long as the family line continues. In addition, the genealogical library has shelves lined with thousands of the world’s printed family genealogies, past and current genealogical periodicals, and published histories of towns, counties, states and countries. Nearly all the research materials which are available at Church Headquarters in Salt Lake City are available in over 200 “branch” libraries in the United States, Canada and Mexico. These libraries, which are increasing at the rate of 25 per year, have a carefully selected 80-volume reference shelf, complete card catalog of the materials available in the central library in Salt Lake City, and microfilm readers ready for use by those who request that microfilm rolls be sent to the library from Salt Lake City. These libraries are also open to the public. Eaton County Farm and Home Calendar . November 7-9: 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Second Annual Home Hor­ ticulture Conference, Michigan State University.

Cont. from page 6 col. 5 have to get involved and learn all they can to help them face “their problem of tomorrow”. Milliken reviewed a few things that had happened in the past. For example:. • The 1973 embargo where oil imports were cut off. Michigan felt the embargo the worst because of the automobile unemployment. We had the highest rate ever of people being unemployed. Ohio also felt the shortage, and many schools had to close. Milliken pointed out that a shortage was predicted as far back as 1950 and 1973 seemed to be our first “real” danger. Governor Milliken also filled us in on the percent of energy that we used a few years back. Five percent of the world’s population use 30 percent of the world’s energy. The total amount of energy being used seems to be increasing day by day, the only way we can help save is to par­ ticipate in activities that allow us to cut down. • Michigan has to import 95 percent of its resources. We are dependent upon other states and nations for 90 percent of our gas and 92 percent of our oil, along with 100 percent fuel coal. • Our future alternatives are: (a) solar; (b) biothermal; (c) wind; (d) fussion; and (e) geothermal. Most of these alternatives are at the developing stage with our means of technology a'nd knowledge to accept the job to experiment. To do all we can to make things the best, we need time, money, and willingness to accept the risk. To help us conserve energy, we must: • Focus upon this energy month and do little safety tips. We have to have a positive attitude and use it wisely to help out, and try to get others to help out. Many things have changed, and many things continue to change. We have the knowledge to know we have a serious problem; let's have the knowledge to, "Handle it with care." Next week I will review another speaker and let you know how he feels as compared to you.

L. “Buck” Rogers Where’s the best trout fishing in the world? Eastern trout fishermen, not knowing any better, might nominate one of a dozen cold limestone streams which flow through their New England countryside. Western trout fishermen have a wider selection of fine streams to choose from, and any one of these, on a given day, can be an excellent producer. Europe still has some trout fishing, but the best runs are not readily available to the public. Alaska and Canada have miles of unpublicized and little-known fishing-water, and New Zealand is reputed to have a brand of fishing which might make this island a top contender. But, the men who have fished them all generally rate the streams of Argentina, flowing down from the eastern slopes of .the Andes, as the very best of all. Rainbows, brown, and brook trout were stocked in these waters almost 50 years ago and quickly established themselves in Michigan com and wheat stocks up MICHIGAN: Total stocks of old crop corn on Octobet’ 1 were more than double a year earlier, ac­ cording to the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. Wheat stocks were 31 percent larger, while rye stocks were up 29 percent from October 1, 1976. ** However, soybean stocks were, less than one-third as large as a year previous, while stocks of oats were 3 percent smaller. Old crop corn stored in all positions totaled 15.4 million bushels, 105 percent more than a year earlier. Farm stocks of 11.3 million bushels were 85 percent larger, while off-farm stocks gained 191 percent from October 1, 1976. Old crop soybean carryover as of September 1 this year was only 472,000 bushels, less than onethird the quantity on hand a year earlier. Both farm and off-farm stocks were sharply lower. Wheat stocks on and off-farm Continued on page 10 col. 3 their new habitat. Principal food source is the congrejo, or small red crab, which make trout grow fast and exceedingly large. This abundant food supply, coupled with sparse fishing pressure, created a trout fishing paradise which remains almost as good today as it was a number of years ago. Earlier this year, for instance, I trolled a wobbling lure through the dawn mist on Lake Nahuel Huapi and had a strike so savage that it almost tore the rod handle from my grasp. I played this fish slowly and carefully for the better part of a half hour, and when I finally brought it to gaff the silvery rainbow tipped the scales at 18% pounds. On this same trip I fished streams such as the Limay, Monso, and the Chimihuin, and caught dozens of nice trout with fly and spinning gear. The largest ■of these fish weighed nine pounds. This trip was almost as good as an earlier expedition on which I landed three 10-pound brook trout in one afternoon on a flyrod. Headquarters for this fishing territory is Bariloche, a beautiful little resort city located on the shore of ice blue Nahuel Huapi. Here, guides meet their clients, and transport them to their favorite fishing holes scattered throughout this scenic alpine region. These expeditions usually last a week, and cost around $500 per person, with everything furnished. Incidentally, this also includes a bottle or so of Argentine wine with each meal. Bariloche is serviced from Buenos Aires by a daily two-hour jet flight. Buenos Aires, the least Latin of all South American cities, is reached by non-stop overnight flights from Miami arid New York. A U.S. airline, Braniff International, provides the best service. One more thing. When planning a fishing trip here remember that their seasons are just exactly the opposite of ours. Here, the season is from November through March with the best action taking place early, and late in this period.

Railroad St., Hastings - Ph. 945-9926 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday November 9. 1977 - Page 10 Senior citizens on tour to visit the Amana colonies in the Iowa River Valley Your reporter was one of the Tri-County Senior Citizens on a three-day trip to the Amana Colonies last week with Greta Firster as tour director. The seven villages of the Amana Colonies are located among 25,000 acres of rich farmland in the Iowa River Valley. In 1854 a group of God-fearing people of West German, Swiss and Alsatian ancestry left New York (their first settlement) and founded their first village in Iowa which they named Amana, meaning “Remain Faithful”. Then later West, South, High, East and Middle were built and the village of Homestead was bought outright to acquire a railroad terminal. Farming is big business in Amana and quite diversified. You will see no farm houses-those who farm live in the villages. Here almost everything is “homemade”, foods,' furniture, woolens and wines. Each member contributed some particular skill, handed down from father to son in true Old World tradition. The excellence of the Amanian products attracted the attention of the outside world and many hand-crafted articles are now sent throughout the U.S. Major appliances such as food freezers, air conditioners and microwave ovens are manufactured here. Many of the older homes are still covered with trellises for the grapevines to supply the many wineries to be found in the area. The first settlers claim no relation to the Amish but prefer to be called Amanians, lived and practiced communal living. Each village had one kitchen or “Heim” where food was Prepared license plate tabs being sent to Michigan motoristsPrepared license plate tab applications have been mailed to Michigan motorists and for the first time, those owning more than one vehicle are receiving their forms in a single envelope, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. The issuance of tabs instead of new plates and the single­ envelope mailing for more than one application form will save the state approximately $3.35 million. Starting Nov. 15, motorists will be able to buy 1978 tabs at Department of State and 51 Auto Club offices across Michigan. One tab will be issued for each vehicle and it should be placed on top of last year’s tab in the upper right corner of the rear plate. Cost of the tab is printed on the prepared form. Vehicle owners who purchase tabs in Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties and residents of those- three counties who order tabs by mail are paying $2.50 more than other Michiganians. The added revenue will be used to build and upgrade mass transportation in those counties. Approximately one million tab orders are expected to be filled by mail this year, compared to some 860,000 last year. Deadline for tabs being ordered by mail is Feb. 1 for commercial vehicles and trailers and March 1 for passenger pg cars and motorcycles. The deadline for having 1978 tabs on commercial vehicles is March 1 while it is April 1 for passenger cars. * Vehicle owners are advised to check the prepared license plate tab application closely for errors, fill in missing information and sign the certification. Mail the completed application back to the Department of State, which will begin filling orders after Nov. 15. To obtain a tab at Department of State or Auto Club offices, motorists must bring in either the prepared renewal form, the 1977 registration or the certificate of vehicle title plus proof of public liability and property damage insurance. Auto Club points out that motorists using their vehicle title for proof must know their license plate number. Continued from page 9 on October 1 were 33.8 million bushels, 31 percent more than a year ago. Farm holdings of 9.7 million bushels were only 7 percent higher, but off-farm stocks were 44 percent larger. Oat stocks on October 1 totaled 15.6 million bushels, only 3 percent smaller than a year earlier. Farm supplies of 12.2 million bushels were down 11 percent, but off-farm stocks of 3.3 million bushels were up 44 percent from last fall. prepared and served to all. Especially interesting was the old wood-fired hearth oven bakery still used and featuring l*arge amounts of bread and coffee cake sold throughout the area. The many restaurants are known far and wide for their excellent meals served family style. The Amana Coldnies are a National Historic Landmark and a pleasant place to visit the year around. A big attraction in July and August is the Lily Lake when the famed Lotus Lily is in full bloom. In October many come to join in the gay festivities of the annual “Oktoberfest”. Much of the farm land we saw seemed to have an excessive amount of rain and corn could not be picked. Obituaries Leigh Colbridge NASHVILLE - Mrs. Leigh Colbridge, 87, of 6054 Marshall Rd., died Nov. 1,1977 at the Barry County Medical Care Facility. Mrs. Colbridge was born April 27,1890 in Bad Axe, Michigan and was the daughter of Richard and Elizabeth (Palmer) Harrison. Colbridge was the Mrs.. bookkeeper at the Bad Axe Seed and Grain Elevator. She was a life member of the Maple City Chapter O.E.S. No. 218 at Charlotte. Mrs. Colbridge is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Willard (Bessie) Myers of Nashville; two three greatgrandsons, and one granddaughters;; brother, Herbert Harrison of Dallas, Texas.

We came back this fall supposedly to pass a major transportation package, with in-' creased funding for mass transit, outstate railroads, and county roads--plus a gas tax for consumers. In other words, the old “something for everyone” route. But, there was so much money involved, the major interests could not decide how to divide it and the whole thing fell aphrt. So, we stay in session, not wanting to honestly admit failure and go home. And, we work on some minor issues that have been hanging around, but escaping attention. We passed a bill that has been around for a long time thateliminates Michigan’s prohibition on family planning information being included in education programs. While we in the Legislature may think this is some kind of a bold step forward, it has been obvious for some time that the general population has long since passed the time when it considered this a controversial issue. We follow, not lead. And, the Sunfield Church of the Brethren.

A couple of my own bills are moving. One puts state limits on vehicle noise. There are already federal limits on newly manufactured vehicles, but the main problems are older vehicles and lack of enforcement. With the network of highways through the 30th Senatorial District, this is an important issue to many. About 5 percent of the trucks on the roads are serious abusers. People laugh and make Indian noises when my bill to allow counties to engage in rainmaking comes up. However, a program has been in operation in central Michigan for over 5 years and appears to have significantly benefited agriculture. Evidence here and from other states indicates modern scientific techniques can increase rainfall moderately during dry summer months. Fears of adverse effects so far appear unfounded, but we are working on a program to study and monitor any possible damages. If you want a little en­ tertainment, catch one of the hearings Senator Joe Mack is having on my National Resource Planning bill. This is the current land use bill supported by the Farm Bureau, Michigan United Conservation Clubs (MUCC), the League of Women Voters, the UAW and others. Strong op­ position comes from an array of conservative organizations who are suspicious of the democratic process. Joe and I are constant enemies in the Senate, seldom on the same side, and we make little effort toward the usual political niceties. Our distaste for each other’s philosophy and methods shows.

The primary concerns of the association were to have a group which could interest others to buy an existing business or start a new business in Nashville, to assist business owners who need help in management, to assist a business owner who wants to sell his business, and to close the communications gap between the Nashville Chamber of Commerce and the business owners and the Nashville Village Council and the business owners. At the October 28 meeting, the association discussed the goal of having more parking in the downtown business area behind the westside stores on Main street. However, the first major decision of the organization was to purchase the Bob Pfaff hard­ ware store property that was up for auction October 30. The Nashville Housing Cor­ poration and the Nashville Businessowners Association worked jointly and purchased the property at the auction. The association then contacted Jack DeGroot, owner of the two buildings north of the hardware store, and determined that he was interested in selling that property. Nashville Businessowners Association president, Russ Furlong, called a second meeting November 4, and the association decided to approach the housing corporation and buy out the Pfaff hardware store property entirely and to purchase the property from Jack DeGroot. The association now owns the Pfaff property and has signed purchase agreements on the DeGroot properties. The dismantling of the interiors of the buildings will start immediately and the demolition and fill is scheduled for November 25. “No definite business plans are now materialized for the property,” said Furlong, “but the organization is interested in discussing and considering all types of businesses that would stimulate the already operating business on Main Street. “A theme of harmony between the association, housing association, recreational development association, the village council, and the Chamber of Commerce is of the utmost Continued on page 2 The Newly formed Nashville Businessowners Association recently purchased the three buildings shown above. Plans are to tear down the buildings next week. No definite future plans for the property have been made. Tri-Central Athletic Association First Team Football Selections from Maple Valley Maple Valley Football coach Dan Watson (center) is shown with two of his four players who were selected to the Tri-Central Athletic Association first team. Andy Joostberns (73) and Mike Hamilton (21) were picked along with teammates Ken Hansbarger and Tim Burd (now shown). Hamilton was selected as a first team running back following a season in which he set three school records (most yardage in a single season, most touchdowns in a season, and most rushing attempts). He gained over 1,000 yards (1,103) for the first time in school history on 172 carries for a 6.4 average. He crossed enemy goal lines ten times (60 points) and scored one extra point. In addition to his rushing statistics, Hamilton caught seven passes for 36 yards, returned 12 punts for 52 yards, and seven kick-off returns for 143 yards. To add f to all the post season honors, Hamilton was voted the team's Most Valuable Player. Joostberns was selected as first team defensive tackle for the second year in a row, and first team offensive tackle for the first time. He was picked as a second team offensive lineman last year. Joostberns was the principal blocker on a Maple Valley team that set rushing records by an individual and as a team. He had 92 tackles and one fumble recovery on defense. What makes his performance more impressive is that he's only a junior and will be back knocking around enemy ballplayers next year. Another hard-nosed player who will return next year is junior Ken Hansbarger who was chosen as first team All-Conference offensive end and first team linebacker. He was a second pick linebacker last year. As a receiver, Hansbarger caught 11 passes for 185 yards and four touchdowns, two of them game winners. He was the leading tackler on defense with 129. He had one interception and two blocked punts. Tim Burd was selected as All-Conference first team defensive end. He had 37 tackles, one quarterback sack, two fumble recoveries, two touchdowns, and one safety to his credit. The touchdowns came on Burd's magical "stolen ball”'trick where he slipped behind the opposing offense and "ripped” the ball off from enemy ball-carriers.. (Maple Valley News Photo) Rep. Gilmer speaks to Nashville Chamber— State Representative Donald Gilmer spoke to the Nashville Chamber of Commerce at its regular meeting Wednesday night discussing recent bills in the Michigan House of Representatives and answered questions of chamber members. “The house passed a bill today by a 60-48 vote that could have a devastating effect on the state economy,” Gilmer sadly said. “This little piece of legislation may cost $100,000,000 in the next ten years. “This bill says no longer can a school board take the lowest bid on the construction of school buildings, they must take the lowest bid with prevailing wage. This means they can no longer accept bids from independant contractors, they must be union contractors. . “The bill has yet to pass the senate, but if it does, with this mandated cost, school boards can no longer accept the lowest bid as they have in the past. This is just another way to make the tax- payers’ pockets emptier. I’ve never been so frustrated with the passing of a bill.” Gilmer said the Federal Government has made a number of changes on Senate Bill 714, which includes an amendment to exclude part-time school em­ ployees (bus drivers, lunch room help, etc.) to be left off unem­ ployment compensation. “This bill will cost $50 to $60 million if it passes without this amendment attached to it,” said Gilmer. “If the amendments come off the bill, these part-time workers will be entitled to vacations, unemployment compensation during the sum­ mer, and other benefits that the faculty now has. “I will not support this bill unless the amendments are there to exempt these employees. If it passes, school boards would have to take away from other areas in the school, and hurt the overall school performance. Continued on page 9 �The Maple Volley News. Nashville. Wednesday November 16, 1977 — Page 2 to the editor... To the Editor... After reading the letter to the editor for Nov. 9, 1977 I have decided to make public my disgust of the fans at the Potterville game. We have a son on varsity team, so we like to go to the games as much as possible. Friday just about made me disgusted enough to never attend another game. It was cold, but the players were doing a good job and the cheerleaders get much credit for great work too, but some of the fans were absolutely abhoring. The score was 12-0 our favor, but you would have thought we were losing. They cussed and yelled at the players, referees, coaches, and anyone else who was in their y view. I don’t mean just swear words but downright vulgar and obscene language. The devil himself would have run and plugged his ears. It was awful. It certainly wasn’t fitting for the younger children around us to have to hear such filth. I think I understand why they were feeling so full of spirit. They came with enough beer to last and they drank continually the whole time they were there. The more tthey drank the louder and filthier they got. The other grou.p to our left had a couple of bottles of mixed drinks and hard liquor. They also drank the whole time, never without some in their glasses. Toward the end of the game they also began to show spirit by swearing and yelling and name calling at the poor team and coaches. Believe me, we would have gladly done without them att the game. There were several families of us who all felt the same way about these kinds of spectators. I thought there are laws or rules of some kind that protected us from such rotten junk at a school-sponsored function. It makes me sick to see and hear such things that call themselves human beings. I would like to see some rules or laws made and enforced to prevent alcoholic beverages from the school-sponsored functions. The rest of us would have really enjoyed the game if we could have been able to unplug our ears. TO THE EDITOR: The Village of and the community of Vermontville has been in need of an All Weather Road. The business community and the general welfare, growth and stability of the area is dependent to a large extent on such access. I am pleased to inform Ver­ montville that this road improvement is already under way in the planning. Actual construction and completion is planned for 1978. This project is made possible by the concern and cooperation of tthe Road Commission, the Board of Commissioners and the local citizenry. The Board of Comthrough the missioners, through the recommendation of the Finance Committee of which I am a member, is providing Revenue Sharing monies as the Road Commission match for Federal the imparticipation in provement. The project will improve the highway between West Main and the County line to the west. Barry County will cooperate with the endeavor so that the traffic can access or egress at 66. Many of us have worked long and hard on this vital im­ provement, both on the local and county level. Gayle Ainslie and myself are happy and pleased with what has been ac­ complished. Sincerely, Edgar Fleetham Eaton County Commissioner From front­ importance (to make the project a success),” said Furlong. “It’ll take total overall cooperation and planning for the projects to have a good effect on the village.” Elected officers of the Nash­ ville Businessowners Association are Furlong, president-trustee; Mary Hecker, secretary-trustee; Hubert Lathrop, treasurer­ trustee; Ben Mason, trustee; and Bill Hecker, trustee.

Nashville, Wednesday November 16, 1977 -- Page 3 Energy News As stated in last week’s edition, November is Michigan Energy Month. Last week I reviewed just a few of the major points brought to our attention by Governor Milliken. Another speaker to whom we listened was Mr. Daniel J. Demlow, chairman of Michigan Public Service Commission. Here is the information received at the convention... The energy crisis didn’t occur over night; it has been building up over a number of years. In 1931 the price of one kilowatt was 4.3 cents. An average family used 668 kilowatts per year. By 1974 the price decreased to about 3 cents but the amount of usage went up to 6,550 kilowatts per year. It has completely doubled since 1931. This increase has caused a strain, just for the fact that we use more, because we have many more utensils to use today. To get rid of this strain we are going to have to make ad­ justments. We have to look at everyone’s viewpoint and not just ours to make an accomplishment with our adjustments. For the future we must look at the teenagers of today-they are tomorrow’s generation. We also have to take into account our resources that we still have. We must use them wisely and, at the same time, use our knowledge to develop new and better ways and means of living. We must set a goal to use our fossil fuels wisely. If the last 100 million years could be compressed into one year, this is how it would stand: 1. On January 1 life begins. 2. In July the first oil and gas deposits are founded. 3. On December 31 at 5 a.m. the first intelligent human being is made. 4. At 7 a.m. the ice age occurs, and planets are formed until 11:15. 5. At 11:57 the first painting is done on a cave wall. 6. 18 seconds later Columbus discovered America. 7. 3 seconds before midnight, the first car is invented.* 8. Now it’s midnight. 9. One second after midnight all our gas is gone. 10. Four seconds after mid­ night the oil is gone. 11. 18 seconds after midnight the coal is gone. That is how 100 million years is compressed into a reality of one single year. Our options are limited to face our energy problem. We must not be frightened, but accept the challenge to prove we can make it. To help solve this problem we must supply assistance to victims of immediate crisis. There are those who can’t afford today’s prices-we must take this into consideration. There is bound to be increases all along, such as in 1970 you may have paid $203-now you pay $436, and by 1980 this figure will double. Again, we must make use of our energy wisely, make it last as long as possible, keep costs down, try to alter ways of living, con­ serve as much as possible. We have conserved, but now we must expand our conservation again. Our economy must expand for the future of America-jobs, money, more energy must be produced. We have to develop new energy sources. We’ve done it before so we should be able to do it again. From 1800 to the 1880’s we used mainly wood and coal. In the early 1900's we switched to oil. Now we use mainly natural gas. About 60 percent of the homes in America use gas. In the past we didn’t switch because we were running out because we weren’t. We switched to what was cheaper and easier to use, and cleaner. By Kathy Jo Garvey The use of wood is coming back and playing an important role in some lives. Not everyone can turn to this source without leveling all of our forests. Scrap wood comes in handy to fire boilers to make electricity, but again it won’t last forever. Solar energy (energy from the sun) is a possibility for the future. The technology exists to make use of solar energy, but it is very expensive compared to other available fuels. Maybe in the future it will come down in price. It is estimated that in 1985 more than 2 million homes will have solar installations. A non-conventional possibility is wind or air. Another is hydrogen, which is our most plentiful resource. Either fission or fusion may make the' dif­ ference for tomorrow. Again, teenagers have to make the move, we are the future. We have to think of all the changes that will need to be made. Maybe build a house with less windowswho knows. This change of today and tomorrow is gradual, and the changes that we make will make our future. The process of changing depends upon: • how fast society is changing; • must have intelligent selec­ tions; • us deciding; • having a basic knowledge; • all working together, • us starting now-not waiting; • having a positive attitude. In 1960 we weren’t part of the solution, we were part of the problem. Now we are both. This problem can be solved if we believe it can. The Government can’t solve it for us. They want us to help them; we must work together. Togetherness is a main point in pulling us through to face tomorrow with a smile. FOR SALE: AKC blonde Cocker Spaniel male pups, $75.

MICH. PHONE: 852-9594 Gasoline sales in Michigan showed a slight 1.4 percent in­ crease during the heavy travel months of July through Sep­ tember in comparison with the same three months of 1976, the State Highway Commission reported today. Receipts from the nine-cent-agallon tax totaled $106,283,653, up by $1,419,050 over the same quarter last year. Tax revenue on diesel fuel, used mainly by trucks, rose from $5,355,891 to $6,429,591 in the same period, an increase of $1,073,771 or 20.1 percent. Receipts from the gasoline tax were up in Barry County during the 1977 third quarter to $273,490 which was an increase over 1976’s third quarter receipts of $270,501. Barry County communities, their 1977 third quarter receipts, and their record for the same quarter last year are: Hastings, $29,351 (1976: $29,336); Middleville, $8,113 (1976: $8, 106); and Nash­ ville, $7,333 (1976: $7,327). Total motor fuel taxes, in­ cluding the liquid petroleum gas tax, increased by 2.3 percent to $112,765,338. The small gas tax increase was attributed in part to the gradual trend toward lighter cars and improved engine performance. For the fiscal year ended September 30, fuel tax receipts climbed by $19,482,721 to $425,990,375, an increase of 4.8 percent. Resident weight taxes paid in the form of license plate fees totaled $7,942,564 in the JulySeptember quarter, up by 24 percent from the same quarter last year. For the fiscal year, receipts totaled $164,065,237, up by $8,378,076, or 5.4 percent. All the tax revenues go to the State Motor Vehicle Highway Fund. Proceeds, including earned interest, are being distributed to the state, the counties and the municipalities after deductions of $10.23 million for grants and collection costs. These include $1,319,742 to the State Waterways Fund, $5,795,067 to the General Transportation Fund for bus and rail programs, and $2,571,307 for collection costs. Of the $114,513,723 distributed, the Department of State High­ ways and Transportation received $50,808,173 as its 44.5 percent share, the 83 county road commissions $40,897,365 as their 35.7 percent share and the 531 cities and villages $22,808,185 as their 19.8 percent share. The municipalities’ share declined slightly because of a transfer of nearly 60 miles of city streets to county jurisdiction, mainly in Kent County.

Congratulations 1977 MV Football Team and Coaches on your 7-2 record! Cold weather should not affect well maintained vehicles this winter— Nearly two million Michigan motorists whose cars failed to start last winter could have avoided cold-weather, balkyengine problems by properly maintaining their vehicles and learning correct starting procedures,, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. “Since more things can go wrong with autos in cold weather, it is important that motorists prepare themselves and their vehicles before temperatures drop to zero or below,” stated Robert Smith, Auto Club’s Emergency Road Service manager. Smith offered these suggestions to help guarantee an easy-to-start car when tem­ peratures plunge: • Follow maintenance recommendations in the car owner’s manual. • Learn the proper technique for starting the engine. • Learn to use jumper cables properly. "Following the maintenance suggestions provided in the car owner’s manual is the key to successful winter starting since it is difficult for the cold weather to stop a properly maintained vehicle,” Smith said. Improperly maintained vehicles are responsible for more than 80 percent of cold weather “no starts”. “Knowing the proper technique for starting an engine in frigid weather also is a necessity,” Smith said. With the transmission in Park, turn off electrical accessories so no extra strain is put on the battery. Push the gas pedal to the floor and let it up slowly to set the automatic choke.

If the engine becomes flooded, depress the gas pedal to the floor, hold it there and try again to start the engine. The accelerator should be kept down until the engine starts. Smith said motorists can use jumper cables to boost batteries weakened by frigid weather but warned their improper use can result in explosions causing personal injury or damage to a car’s electrical system. For best results, remove the caps from the weakened battery and place a cloth over the openings. Then, the positive booster cable should be clamped to the positive post of the good battery and the negative booster cable clamped to the negative post. Next, ground the negative cable on the engine block of the car with the weak battery and clamp the positive cable to the positive post. When those steps are com­ pleted, attempt to start the disabled car. The engine on the car with the good battery should be kept running throughout this process. After the vehicle is started, remove the positive booster cable from the previously disabled vehicle first and then remove the negative cable from the ground point. The same procedure should be followed for the other vehicle. After removing the cables, replace the battery caps. “Motorists who follow these procedures should be able to keep their cars running all winter,” Smith said. Auto Club also suggested that motorists keep a winter survival kit in their cars in case they become stranded in a blizzard or severe cold weather. The entire kit should cost between $55 and $60 and consists of jumper cables, tire chains, flares and reflectors, tools, sand, carpeting, shovel, ice scraper­ brush, flashlight, insulated blanket, boots, first aid kit, food, newspapers and a coffee can furnace. A coffee can furnace is made by placing a lighted candle in a can and is used for heat. Newspapers make great in­ sulation when placed next to the skin under clothing. The carpeting is for extra traction under drive wheels. Erwin Construction & Aluminum Siding Insulation "Al-Jim-Bo" Serving the community for over 20 years.

Nashville. Wednesday November 16, 1V77~- Poge 6 Maple Valley Lions close out season Area sports news with winning ways . . . The Maple Valley Football Team closed but its season on a winning note defeating Pot­ terville 12-0. It was the Lions' third shutout of the season which brought them within 5 points of setting a new defensive school record. The Lions allowed 88 points this year while the 1968 team allowed only 83 points. This season did see the Lions set a new scoring record, however. The 12 points against Potterville gave Maple Valley 162 points for the season. The old record was 153 points scored by the 1969 team. The team also set a new season rushing record of 1817 yards, almost 300 yards better than the old rushing record. The team record everyone is most proud of, however, is the final won-lost record of 7-2. The two previous best seasons were 1970 when the team was 5-3-1 and 1976 when the team went 5-3. A team that does as well as the Lions did this year will, of course, have some outstanding in­ dividuals. Mike Hamilton had a tremendous season rushing 172 times (school record) for 1103 yards (school record) and a 6.4 yard average. Mike was selected to the TCAA all-conference first team as a running back. Mike was the leading rusher and leading scorer in the league. The players on the team also selected Mike as this year’s most valuable player on the team. Bo Erwin was selected by the team as this year’s most im­ proved player. Bo was a two-way performer playing center or end on offensive and defensive end on defense. His 52 tackles and 10 quarterback sacks also earned him a second team all-conference position as a defensive end. Tim Burd was picked to the first team TCAA all-conference team as a defensive end. Along with his 37 tackles, Tim scored a safety and two touchdowns. The touchdowns were scored when Tim stole handoffs and raced to the end zone. Robin Pendell had an out­ standing year as a kicker. His 11 extra points in 12 attempts and on-field goal in two attempts were enough to place him on the second team all-conference team as a kicker. Robin was also a starting end and safety. Kevin Kilpatrick, a junior, was placed on the second team all­ conference team as a guard. Kevin, who started all year, was one of the team’s most consistent blockers. The Varsity was blessed this year with two very outstanding juniors, Andy Joostberns and Ken Hansbarger. Both were selected for the all-conference team on both offense and defense. Andy was selected as the team’s most outstanding tackle and Ken was picked as the best linebacker in the league. Ken led the team with 110 tackles while Andy was second with 92 tackles. Andy was very instrumental in opening the holes for Hamilton and other backs while Ken led the team in receptions and yardage receiving passes. The Maple Valley Varsity had a fine year. We are all looking forward to next year’s football season. Maple Valley All-Conference Second Team Football Picks Coach Dan Watson (left) congratulates his Maple Valley football players selected to the Tri-Central Conference second team. They are (left to right) Kevin Kilpatrick, Bo Erwin, and Robin Pendall. Kilpatrick was selected as an offensive guard, opening holes all year long for Maple Valley runners. Erwin was chosen as a defensive end. His 52 tackles included ten quarterback sacks. He was voted the team's Most Improved Player. Pendall was picked as a kicker. He made 11 extra points out of an even dozen attempts. He also had a 24-yard field goal to his credit. He was one of two in field goal tries.

Senior Citizen Program Reporter ‘78 autos down sized, better fuel economy— With more models to choose from than ever before, better fuel economy and other im­ provements which should result in record sales, many buyers leaving auto dealerships with ’78 models could feel they left the best-liked car behind. That is a conclusion drawn from an article in Automobile Club of Michigan’s November Motor News magazine entitled, “The ’78s-a Taste of the Future”. The car left behind might be the trade-in or a new model the buyer preferred but which was not available because of manufacturing quotas set up to meet government fuel economy standards, Motor News suggests. The variety in size, ride, drive characteristics, interior ap­ pointments, mileage and price of the new models is staggering, the article reports to Auto Club’s 1.2 million reader-members, but availability of all models is another story. Motor News explains that new car buyers will find that CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) and down-sizing models to reduce costs and im­ prove fuel mileage could mean that some buyers will drive home 'with a new car smaller than desired. Under CAFE, auto companies must average the miles per gallon of all models offered, from For all your insurance needs see ■ "The ALL-TOGETHER Team" Norma Shance Stan Trumble Mary Trumble K/Iuto-Owners Insurance LifeHomeCarBusiness 178 S.

At Kellogg School high-mileage subcompacts to low-mileage luxury models and obtain a fleet average. Under that method, all auto manufacturers plan to exceed the required 18-miles-per-gallon fleet average by carefully monitoring demand and production for each car they build, Motor News ex­ plains. Orders would be taken with the provision “production per­ mitting”, with manufacturers attempting to meet the required fleet average through stepped-up production of smaller cars. Advertising, sales promotion and dealer incentives would be used to create sufficient demand for small cars, the article notes. Some $5 billion has been spent by car makers to assure that this year’s models meet standards imposed by the federal govern­ ment, and that money must come from motorists’ pockets, Motor News notes. Despite higher new car costs, GM Board Chairman Thomas Murphy is quoted as predicting that 1978 car and truck sales will total 15*4 million units, topping 1973’s all-time record. Gasoline prices also will have a direct impact on the public’s car buying habits, Motor News comments, predicting that by 1985 as many as 85 percent of the cars built in the U.S. will be subcompact size, weighing less than 3,000 pounds. The article also outlines the safety, serviceability and towability features of the 1978 cars and describes the all-new model lines.

Congratulations to all the All-Conference selections from Maple Valley High School Nashville A survival kit in a car's trunk could be a lifesaver for motor­ ists trapped on the road by a blizzard this winter. The 16 items displayed by Automobile Club of Michigan employe Phyllis Crowley cost $60 or less and require only a corner of the trunk for storage. Emergency heat can be obtained from a coffee-can furnace which radiates warmth from a lighted candle inside. Newspapers make great insulation when placed next to the skin under clothing and the carpet strips provide traction under drive wheels. Other survival items dis­ played are a blanket, shovel, flashlight, jumper cables, tire chains, boots, flares, reflectors, tools, first aid kit, sand, a scraper-brush and. food. Motorists should remain with a stranded vehicle and wait for rescue rather than risking lives through exposure or becoming lost in a blizzard while walking for help. Michigan farmers realize a 2% increase in phone service MICHIGAN: Farmers in Michigan are paying an average of $8.50 per month for local telephone service, according to a survey conducted this summer by the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. This is an increase of 2 percent from last year’s $8.30 per month, but 15 percent more than the monthly rate of $7.40 in 1975. The average monthly total telephone bill, which is local service plus long distance charges, climbed 11 percent from last year to $20.40 per month this year. Approximately 96 percent of Michigan’s farms have telephone service this year which is even with 1976. UNITED STATES: The cost of local telephone service to far- mers averaged $9.62 per month for the U.S. during the summer of 1977, up 7 percent from the 1976 bill of $9. The average total monthly bill, including long distance calls, service charges, and extension phones increased 12 percent to $21.58 in 1977. The percentage of all farms with the telephone service was 92 percent in 1977, the same as a year earlier.

Nashville, Wednesday November 16, 1977 - Page 10 Local men encounter blizzard in Minnesota! A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative COMP TAX—The Governor has now signed into law SB 801, which increases the unem­ ployment compensation tax on employers, to avoid an even greater federal tax increase. But the legislature refused to con­ sider the question of voluntary­ quit benefits. FOOD STAMPS--Some families and senior citizens who applied for food stamps since August 5, 1974, and were not eligible may now be eligible, since HUD rent subsidies are now excluded from “income”. Con­ tact your local food stamp office. CONTRACEPTION EDUCATION-Both houses have now approved HB 4425, which allows the discussion of contraception in Michigan public schools for the first time in over 30 years. Abortion is excluded; parents and school boards are given much local control. VAN POOLS-A six-bill package has been introduced in the House to encourage the use of van-pooling in Michigan. HB 5670-75 would provide tax credits for gas purchases and employer programs, and amend other laws to make it easier for van pools to operate. With van pools, many people ride back and forth to work in one vehicle, thus saving precious energy. REDLINING LAW-Govemor Milliken has formally signed into law HB 4227, which prohibits credit-granting institutions such as banks and credit unions from denying home loans because of a neighborhood’s age, or its racial or ethnic makeup. This legislation is expected to become a model for the nation and will help preserve and improve older city neighborhoods. NOISE LIMITS-Legislation to reduce noises emitted from motor vehicles by setting decibel limit was approved by the Senate (SB 360). The bill sets statutory limits on vehicle noise and provides enforcement. It prohibits a motor vehicle from being operated on a highway or street unless equipped with an exhaust system in good working condition and able to prevent noise in compliance with limits established by the act. Penalty sections provide for fines of $100. The bill now goes to the House for consideration. RAINY DAYS-The House has approved HB 5176, which would allow local governments to create “rainy day” funds like that recently enacted for the state. Local units could set aside up to 15 percent of their budget to prevent service reductions in case of disaster or revenue decrease. VOTERS APPROVE 59 PERCENT OF MILLAGE PROPOSALS IN 1976-77—Almost 60 percent of the school millage proposals up for a vote in the 1976-77 school year were ap­ proved by voters. Requests for additional millage levies were turned down about two-thirds of the time. However,, about 90 percent of renewal proposals were approved and 60 percent of proposals combining renewals and additional millages were approved. Three local men encountered the recent Minnesota blizzard first hand. Merle Martin, Brian Benedict and Kenny Cowell, all of rural Vermontville, accompanied by Leroy Wion of N. Manchester, Ind., formerly of Vermontville, were returning from a successful bunting trip near Augusta, Montana when they were forced into a 26 hour layover about 6 miles East of the Minnesota line on 1-94. A line of cars and trucks about 3 miles long was held up here bjcfive and six foot snow drifts and practically zero visibility due to gale winds. The Vermontville group suffered minimum discomfort due to the fact they had their warm hunting clothes and sleeping bags. They brought an elk and 3 mule deer home with them. There are ways to cut telephone costs— We are constantly searching for ways to help you economize on your phone service, but here are just a few ideas on how you can help yourself: Call when it’s least expensive. For example, when you’re calling long distance, dial direct and plan your calls for times when the rates are lowest. Budget Service that’s really low budget! Look into the availability of Budget Service if you don’t make a lot of phone calls every month. It’s the least expensive one-or-two party phone service we offer. Plan to have all your service installed in one visit. For in­ stance, if you move, plan carefully so the installer doesn’t have to make extra trips, for which you may have to pay additional charges. And while you’re planning for new service, make sure it’s going to be the kind most suited to your needs. Sometimes, little tips can save you a surprising amount over the long haul. We’ll keep trying to help you save. Bob Lacinski, Community Relations Manager, Jackson Michigan Bell Corn and Soy Beans set new records! Nowget morepork per ton offeed...andfaster, too!

Railroad St., Hastings - Ph. 945-9926 Purina... planning tomorrow with research today. PURINA CHOWS Michigan farmers are now harvesting the largest crops of grain corn and soybeans ever produced, according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Ser­ vice. In spite of early season dry weather, heavy summer and fall rains improved yield prospects, but are causing delays in har­ vesting. Yield prospects im­ proved during October for both corn and soybeans. The corn production forecast was raised to 174 million bushels, 23 percent more than harvested last year. The corn yield forecast has been boosted to 85 bushels per acre, a new record high. The soybean production forecast was increased to 19.4 million bushels, 68 percent more than combined last fall. A new record high 720,000 acres for harvest and a record high yield of 27 bushels per acre are expected. The dry bean forecast of 5,250,000 hundredweight (cwt.) is unchanged from last month, but 8 percent larger than the small 1976 crop. Rains delayed harvest. On untilled land severe haryest problems exist, “pick” and abandonment will be high. About 80 percent of the acreage was harvested by November 1, but final harvested acreage will depend on the success of salvage operations. A sugarbeet crop of 1,806,000 tons iis expected, 17 percent larger than the 1976 tonnages. An average yield of 21.0 tons is forecast. A fall potato crop of 8.8 A weekly report from: Senator Richard Allen Some want to sleep, some want to sing, some want to fight. So how do you handle them? Drunks, that is. The very same problem that has faced hostesses, school dance chaperones and football stadium operators now faces local law enforcement agencies and health care providers. State law concerning drunks is changing as of January 15-and that change is controversial. Drunkenness will no longer be a crime in Michigan. A drunk will be treated as a sick person rather than as a criminal. And, he (or she) must be taken to a treatment center rather than to jail. Some citizens don’t like this new law because they think it elevates the status of drunks. They prefer that drunks be classified as criminals. Some law enforcement agencies don’t like it either. They are accustomed to throwing drunks in jail and they like it that way. They feel transporting drunks to a hospital or other treatment center will be in in-­ convenient or perhaps even dangerous. Maybe some cops just don’t look forward to treating drunks with the respect and care accorded the sick or injured. Some medical people are also not excited about the change. Hospitals will generally become the treatment centers and hospital personnel are not sure they are equipped to handle a Michigan farm prices increase MICHIGAN: An 11-point in­ crease (6 percent) in the Index of Prices received by Michigan farmers occurred during the month ending October 15, 1977, according to the Michigan .Crop Reporting Service. The Index increased to 182 percent of the 1967 average. Dry beans and potatoes showed increases for crops while most livestock and livestock products increased slightly from a month ago. The mid-October index, at 182, was just 1 point higher than mid­ October 1976. Lower prices for dairy products, poultry and eggs, feed grains and hay were offset by higher prices for meat animals and fruit. Cash field crops and vegetables remained virtually unchanged from a year ago. The fruit index led the in­ creases, and at 206 was 29 points above October 15,1976. The meat animal index, at 181, followed with an increase of 25 points from mid-October 1976, while the cash field crops index, at 194, was up 3 points and the vegetable index, at 160, increased 1 point. Leading the declines was the feed grain and hay index, at 156, it was 43 points below mid-October 1976. The poultry and eggs index, at 140, was 41 points lower than a year ago, while the dairy products index slipped 4 points to 187. rowdy drunk. Not all of the medical community is ready philosophically for the change. They have not been prepared in their background or training to treat alcohol abusers as a medical problem. Drunks may not like the change either. The average Saturday night drunk doesn’t think he’s sick. He may be less insulted by jail than by a hospital. Also, as with any sick person, he will be personally responsible for the expense of his treatment and transportation to the hospital-in some cases perhaps by an am­ bulance. And, the good serious everyday drunk may know he’s sick, but he soesn’t necessarily want treatment. After all, if he did, he would seek it now. Also, local officials are con­ cerned. They feel that ap­ propriations by the state will not cover the full costs of the program. And, they are not so convinced of the value of the program that they want to pick up some of the cost. But, the program is here and we’re going to give it a try. About the most we can say at this point is that the previous approach does not have a great track record. Alcohol problems have increased at an alarming rate. Perhaps the new program will be no better. I personally think it’s worth a try. But, I also think we should be ready to abandon it if it proves valueless-or even worse.

Michigan Phone 945-9554 (Hastings) Vol. 104 No. 28, Wednesday, November 23, 1977 Maple Valley School Board approves purchase of new buses— Approval was given the pur­ chase of three sixty-five (65) passenger school busses at the regular meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education held Monday, November 14. Delivery of the three busses is to be prior to the opening of the 1978-79 school year. The busses will have International chassis with Carpenter bodies at a cost per bus of $17,242.97. The cost per bus last year was $14,980.49. The board members approved the purchase of equipment for the home economics department at a total cost of $929.25 which in­ cludes an automatic washer, dryer, and microwave oven. The equipment is being purchased from Johnson’s Furniture and will be on an annual replacement program. General fund bills in the amount of $44,883.08 were ap­ proved for payment as well as transferring the October 21 payroll in the amount of $71,739.87 and the November 4 payroll in the amount of $71,110.33 to the payroll account. A maternity leave of absence was granted to Becky Stark for the second semester which begins January 23. A leave of absence was granted to Susan Kavon for the period beginning November 16 through January 3 because of health reasons. The board members approved tenure for Dave Doozan effective January 23, 1978, and Pat Reinbold was approved for a second year probationary con­ tract for the period beginning January 23, 1978. Representatives of the athletic boosters were present at the meeting and expressed the need and desire to purchase an eight­ station weight machine to be used in the athletic program. The cost of this machine would be through the athletic boosters and varsity club. General concern was ex­ pressed by board members and administrators relative to where the machine might be placed in the Jr.-Sr. High School. It was decided that representatives of the athletic boosters would meet with the Jr.-Sr. high school ad­ ministrators to evaluate possible locations where the machine might be used and stored. A policy was approved which will require a charge of $5.00 per night or $10.00 per day including night payable to the Maple Valley Schools shall be made for any private enterprise providing some form of refreshment stand or trailer involved in the sale of food commodities at any of the school owned athletic sites during the summer athletic season. Priority shall be given to school sponsored groups or community groups as compared with any private enterprise. During the school year all sales of food commodities shall be handled by school sponsored or school related groups. A new policy will provide for two nights per week for church league or church athleticrecreation at the Kellogg Elementary School beginning in January. It was decided that because of the number interested in these programs that the Nash­ ville Baptist Church would have the gym on Monday night and the Lots of Tickets still available for Bike Raffle Adam Brumm tests the 10-speed bike that some lucky youngster will win in a drawing being conducted by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce.

The folding bike will be on display at Security National Bank and the 10speed bike can be seen at Johnsons Furniture this week. The drawing will be held Dec. 10. Tickets can be purchased at most Nashville businesses. The chamber is raising money for new Christmas decorations for downtown Nashville. (Maple Valley News Photo) other area churches would have the gym on Tuesday night. A charge of $10.00 will be made each night. In past years there was only one night scheduled for church athletics. Marie Fager was employed as coach of the fifth-sixth grade girls intramural basketball program. Merle Martin will continue as coach of the boys fifth-sixth grade intramural program.

The Pilgrims of New England established the tradition of Thanksgiving even though their firkt years in the New World were rough and the harvest was small. They were- thankful for their freedom and for the opportunity to create a colony in a new land, carving a community from the wilderness. We should always remember these brave settlers, for it was they who set the foundations for freedom upon which our country is built. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday November 23, 1977 -- Page 2 Energy and welfare programs would create 5.4 million lobs, Brown says Violence on television are real concerns of Senate resolution LANSING, Mich.-Violence on television and the problems caused by the incidence of it are the concerns of a Senate Concurrent Resolution introduced Tuesday by Senate Republican Leader Bob Davis. The resolution urges the Communications Federal Commission (FCC) to study the problems caused by the increasing amounts of crime and brutality shown on television, citing that many studies have linked violence on TV to violent. •• NASHVILLE VFW 8260 & AUXILIARY DANCE J Sat., Nov. 26 9:30-1:30 AM Music by Rod & The Ambassadors • Members & Guests ■ WASHINGTON-President Carter’s energy program and welfare reform proposals could result in the creation of nearly 5.4 million additional jobs, Under Secretary of Labor Robert J. Brown told a state employment service information officers’ meeting in New Orleans. To import a barrel of oil each work day at current prices, Brown said, costs about $5000 a year or enough to pay an American worker one year’s wages. Under the energy proposal, the country would import 4.5 million fewer barrels of oil a day, he explained. “If it’s fair to equate a barrel of oil with an American job, we are talking about 4 million jobs,” “I was amazed when I read in a recent HEW study that TV viewing has grown to the point where, by age 16, most children B have spent more time watching the TV set-between 10,000 and 16,000 hours-than they have in the classroom,” he said. The resolution states it is clear that our society is being threatened by the constant torrent of violence brought into our homes each day through the medium of television, “for violence can only lead to further violence.” Davis said it is important for the State of Michigan to voice its concern to the FCC, and that putting pressure on the regulating agency could be an effective method of improving the quality of programming. If passed, a copy of the resolution would be sent to each member of the FCC. anti-social behavior on the part of the viewer. “Americans, on the average, spend more time watching TV than any other pastime, except maybe sleeping. The cumulative effect of the crime and brutality portrayed can only have a negative, indeed harmful, effect on the viewer,” Davis said. “The problem is especially * serious with respect to young people in their most important developmental years. Even the cartoons are filled with brutality.” • Food in the Kitchen New Year's Reservations...Available Now. *1.250 Per Person *2500Per Couple Members Only - Until December 15 •I Continued from Front­ brothers, Edwin, San Francisco, Calif.; Bernard, Grayling, Mich.; Francis, Milan; Hugh, Merrysville, Tenn.; Clarence, Ionia; Gene, Lake Odessa; and five sisters, Mrs. Arlo (Mary Rose) Bishop, Battle Creek; Mrs. Lawrence (Ruth) O’Mara, Lake Odessa; Mrs. Harold (Anatta) gg, Mulliken; uen; Mrs. rs.

Funeral services were held Saturday, November 19, at St. Cyril Catholic Church, Nashville. Burial was in Lakeview Cemetery, Nashville. Brown added. During last winter’s natural gas shortage, 2 million Americans were out of work in a two-week period, Brown said, emphasizing that the President’s energy proposals are key to solving the nation’s employment problems. Enactment of the Ad­ ministration’s energy plan would also create additional jobs in coal mining, construction, energy conservation activities and related fields, the under secretary said. Passage of the welfare reform package, Brown continued, “will provide 1.4 million jobs-a job for every welfare family by 1981.” By then, he explained, the public service employment program would be expanded and directed towards welfare recipients. The Labor Department official noted that these new job-creating proposals would supplement employment and training programs already initiated under the Administration’s economic stimulus package. These include increasing public service em­ ployment from 300,000 to 725,000; doubling older worker programs and the Job Corps; and creating young adult conservation cen­ ters, youth incentive programs, youth community conservation programs and youth employment and training programs.

Pete Benton will be the floor leader. He led last year’s squad to a TCAA Championship by averaging 8 points a game, 3 assists and led the team in steals. Andy Joostberns is counted upon heavily for most of the rebounding this year. Last season he averaged 9.7 points, pulled down 143 rebounds while hitting 55 percent of his 118 shots. Mike Hamilton will play both guard and forward this year. He was the reserve guard last year. He is an excellent passer and solid defensively. Doug Halsey will play forward this season. Has quickness and is a good shooter. Kirby Wilmore is sidelined with a knee injury and may not return for the remainder of this season. New faces this year are: uards-Jeff Zemke Guards-Jeff Zemke, Tom Tom Gurd Gurd, David Munn, and Andy Phenix; Forwards-Bryon Antes, Ken Hansbarger, Kevin Kilpatrick, and Jeff Slocum; Center-Hal Ferguson. GUARDS: Jeff Zemke and Tom Gurd are expected to see plenty of action with them alternating at the other guard spot. FORWARDS: Byron Antes, a transfer student from Battle Creek Central, should help rebounding and has the ability to hit the open man with good passes; Ken Hansbarger, good shooter, aggressive rebounder, is looking to help in any way possible this year; Kevin Kilpatrick has improved greatly and will be used to add some spark to the team plays; and Jeff Slocum is learning the game of basketball and likes to be in there when we press the other team. CENTER: Hal Ferguson, second year of playing organized basketball, will be useful in giving our starting center a rest or adding extra board strength.

Due to the passing of the new No-Trespass Law, any individual who is not a member of the Maple Valley Drift Skippers Snowmobile Club is not eligible to ride on the land that the club has leased. Club members reported that in the past some people have had the attitude of “why should we join the club when we can ride the trails anyway”. Members say these people do not realize all the work the club does to keep up the trails and keep them open for riding. The club dues are used for insurance of its members and guests who ride on the trails, for the construction of a trail groomer built by the club, and for the annual safari and hot dog roast. Dues are $10 per family or $5 for single membership. Meetings are held the first Monday of each month at the new clubhouse behind Nancy’s Beauty Shop in Vermontville. The club wishes to invite any interested snowmobilers to the meetings. The club plans to add a couple more events to the agenda this year, a dance scheduled for February 4, and a possible pig roast. Club members said that Denny and Donny Wertz of DeWertz and Co. from Charlotte gave the club $25 even though they may never ride the trails because they think the club is great. Besides the new clubhouse, the club’s biggest accomplishment was the building of a bridge across the Thornapple River so that people south of the river can ride into Vermontville.

Wednesday November 23, 1977 -- Page 7 Slow week for harvest— HAPPY THANKSGIVING-As families gather to observe this festive holiday, let us all sit back and reflect upon our many blessings. And while traveling to and from the homes of relatives, drive defensively so that this November holiday can truly be a happy one. BUDGET BILL--The legislature has approved HB 4158, the last 1977-78 budget bill, which funds state construction projects. The fiscal year began October 1; this had to be enacted this month to avoid losing federal funds. TRUCK INSPECTIONS-The state’s inspection program of double-bottom tanker trucks hauling hazardous cargo has forced safety repairs to 67 per­ cent of the inspected vehicles. Of the 418 double-bottoms inspected, 281 failed the first inspection and all but 31 of those have been repaired and passed rein­ spection. Inspections now will involve single tankers carrying hazardous cargo, delivery trucks and liquid petroleum gas trucks. FIXUP FIXUP-Now in the Senate is HB 5417, which amends the 1976 Home Improvement Act to ensure that homeowners who want to fix up their home under the Act’s tax exemption provisions would not have to fill out any forms for local assessors; the prohibition on improvementrelated assessment increases would remain in effect as long as the person owned the property. BUS RIDERS-The House has also approved HB 4865, which limits the capacity of school buses to 110 percent of “officially rated” capacity. If this is enacted, it will be illegal for schools to overload their buses, thus causing unsafe conditions for the children riding. BAR RULES-The Michigan Liquor Control Commission has set new rules which provide that a bar may .lose its liquor license if it has nude or live sex shows, or if it displays films or slides depicting scenes of people per­ forming explicit sexual acts. For a detailed copy of these rules, write Walter Keck, Liquor Control Commission, Box 30005, Lansing 48909. SHIPWRECK ANTIQUES-The Senate is now considering HB 4759, which would restrict the removal of historical items from Great Lakes bottomlands. The bill is designed to ensure that Michigan artifacts do not end up in New York antique markets, via swim-by-night skindivers. NEW YEAR’S-The House will soon vote on HB 5697, which would extend the hours of liquor establishments on New Year’s Eve until 4 a.m. The bill would also allow restaurants serving Sunday brunch to sell liquor after 10 a.m.; the present starting time is noon. COYOTE PELTS--The Department of Natural Resources will now keep all coyotes presented to it by trap­ pers and hunters for bounty payments. Previously, the DNR would return pelts after paying bounty and marking them; this allowed hunters to also sell the pelt on the fur market. With snow storms moving through the north and cold, wet weather in the southern portions of the State, little progress was made in harvesting crops, ac­ cording to the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. With soils that never really dried out, muddy again, field activity was limited to high or tilled ground. For the week ending November 12, less than 3 days were suitable for field work. Picking corn, digging sugarbeets, combining soybeans, salvaging dry beans, and fall plowing were the prime activities when weather cooperated. With many fields too wet to work, most Michigan farmers were anxiously awaiting deer hunting season. Across the State soil moisture was considered onethird adequate and two-thirds surplus. CORN-With wet soils and long lines at the grain elevators, farmers are generally waiting for the field conditions to improve. Some farmers are using “4-wheel drive” and “track” vehicles in attempting to overcome the wet conditions. Corn is 60 percent harvested versus last year’s 89 percent and a normal 65 percent. Comments on corn included the following: from Barry County “Some elevators have been only accepting com as it is being shipped out.” A Lake County farmer stated, “The corn left has either too much moisture to crib or fields are too soft for har­ vesting equipment.” From St. Canadian hosts visit VermontvilleMr. & Mrs. Hey from North Bay, Ontario, who are the summer caretakers at Brunswick Lake Lodge where so many Vermontville people go in July for their Canada fishing vacation, were in town last week staying with Mr. & Mrs. Louie Wells doing some Michigan deer hunting. On Saturday evening a welcoming party for Vic and Kitty, as they are affectionately called, was held at the home of Mr. & Mrs. Jack Rathburn where 35 of the fishing gang gathered to recall the many good times spent fishing together. Phone 945-9554 for Action-Ads Clair County, “Might as well go deer hunting and come back after it freezes up.” WINTER WHEAT-Planting this fall is over, even though growers were not able to plant all the acreage they intended to earlier. About 80 percent is seeded. Due to the late harvest and wet fields growers were unable to plant as much acreage as they would have under more favorable field conditions. SOYBEANS AND DRY BEANS-Soybeans are 75 percent combined, a 5 percent progression over last week. Last year, the soybean harvest was virtually complete with 97 per- cent in the bin. Normally soybeans are 85 percent com­ bined by this late in the fall. Dry beans are still 85 percent harvested as no progress was made during the week. Last year and normally harvest would have been over for a month by now. Fields that are left have' not “firmed up” enough to allow “salvage” operations. Many farmers with fields left to harvest have little hope of combining their remaining fields. SUGARBEETS-The sugarbeet harvest is virtually complete with 95 percent dug. Last year harvest was complete on this Continued on page 10 Nashville Church of the Nazarene Presents “Youth Sunday November 27 At 11 A.M. Rev.

Wednesday November 23. 1977 - Page 9 Record corn and soybean crops forcast The largest grain com and soybean crops ever produced in Michigan are now being har­ vested, according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Ser­ vice. In spite of early season dry weather, heavy summer and fall rains improved yield prospects, but are causing harvesting delays. Yield prospects improved for both corn and soybeans during October. The dry bean production forecast is unchanged from last month, but the sugarbeet forecast was raised from a month ago. Rains and wet fields continued to slow harvesting of fall crops during October, although field work speeded up during the last week of the month. Wet fields have prevented the harvest of a considerable acreage of dry beans, and it is doubtful whether much of the ramaining acreage will be harvested. The sugarbeet harvest was nearly complete by November 1, while over 75 per­ cent of the 1978 wheat crop was planted by that date. The potato harvest was over 90 percent complete and the making of 3rd cutting hay was drawing to a close. Pastures were mostly in good to excellent condition for this time of year. Forecast for major Michigan crops are given below: CORN FOR GRAIN: The production forecast was raised to 174 million bushels, and is now 23 percent larger than last year’s crop.

DRY BEANS: The 5,250,000 hundredweight (cwt.) forecast is unchanged from last month, but 8 percent larger than the small 1976 crop. Rains and wet fields continue to delay the completion of harvest. About 80 percent of the acreage was harvested by November 1, but how much of the ramaining acreage will be harvested is doubtful. SOYBEANS: The soybean forecast was raised to 19.4 million bushels, 68 percent more than produced last fall. A record high yield of 27 bushels per acre along with a record high 720,000 acres for harvest both contribute to the all-time high production forecast SUGARBEETS: Yields turned out better than expected earlier. A crop of 1,806,000 tons is now forecast, 17 percent larger than the 1976 crop. An average yield of 21.0 tons per acre is expected for the State. POTATOES: A fall crop of 8.8 million cwt., is now expected, 6 percent more than last year. Yields continue to improve and a new record high yield of 275 cwt. is forecast. . FRUIT: No new forecasts were made for fruit. The October 1 apple forecast of 540 million pounds is 13 percent larger than the 1976 crop. Grapes are forecast at 26,000 tons, 79 percent more than produced last year. The 12,000 ton forecast for pears is double the 1976 crop, while the 15,000 tons expected for prune­ plums is up 25 percent from last year. A weekly report from: Senator Richard Allen Should we- spend a couple million dollars more on PBB-this time to attempt to ascertain whether there has been any effect on the health of the general population of Michigan? It’s a hard question to answer and I’m still undecided. Here are a couple of the questions on my mind. Is it possible, even with a multi­ million dollar study, to determine with any degree of reliability, whether or not there have been health effects? I can see poten­ tially insurmountable scientific problems. Suppose we do a thorough survey of the level of all diseases and symptoms in Michigan. Is there a departure from normal or not? What is the normal level of insomnia (one of the symptoms Dr. Irving Selikoff, director of the last PBB study in Michigan, attributed to PBB) in a large population? Does anyone know? Suppose we find an “ab­ normal” level of some problem, for example, head colds? Is the high level of head colds due to PBB contamination or Michigan’s climate? Is the genetic background (ethnic origins) of the population of Michigan similar to that of some other state which could serve as a comparison? Would the oc­ cupational mix or level of air pollution alter the results? Both could significantly affect general health. So, I question whether it is scientifically possible to deter­ COntinued on page 11 Auto Service CENTER QUALITY WORKMANSHIP by Trained Mechanics • TRANSMISSION REPAIRS BODY & BUMP SERVICE Maple Valley school lunch ...for the whole FAMILY 4931 Moto-Ski Snowmobiles fr»m.*87500 Wheeler Marine M-66 South of Nashville Phone 852-9609 Monday, Nov. 21,1977 Lasagna, peas, applesauce, peanutbutter sandwich, milk.

A Tuscola farmer commented, “Timing for harvest seemed about right as I just got the beets out and saw the first snow flurries.” FALL, PLOWING—Very little fall plowing occurred, except on tilled fields, due to the wet weather. For the State, 25 percent of the acreage intended for spring planted crops has been plowed. This is well behind last fall’s pace of 42 percent plowed. One farmer from Bad Axe commented, “When one steps on the soil, the water comes out through the worm holes.” CABBAGE—Cabbage harvest is nearing completion and is 95 percent cut. This coincides with last year’s progress. PASTURE FEED SUPPLIESPasture feed is average or above this year, in comparison to last year’s short supply. Feeding of hay and silage will soon be widespread as winter approaches. What makes 4-H unique? A while back I was reading an article in the National 4-H News written by Sharon Lynch, a 4-H leader. She wrote that, be it right or wrong, images tend to play a vital role in our society. But those images we are most accustomed to are currently going through some big changes. No longer is Ann expected to be a mother and housewife when she really yearns to be a professional pilate. And then there’s Paul who wants to go into child development or household management. Who could disagree with this? Either one will help him to grow to be a better person. Whether he decides later to go on in marine biology or not, he may still want to have a family or depend on himself to run a household as well as develop a career. This is where 4-H stands out above the rest. Not only does the organization move on to meet progressive times, but it mixes both girls and boys in a realistic way. 4-H members are no longer segregated into specific project areas because of their sex. Both can take foods and nutrition projects, personal appearance, automotive and woodworking projects. It makes more sense to let kids of all ages choose to work together than to force them apart due to their sex. After all, life is not a unisexual experience.

Nashville. Wednesday November 23. 1977 •• Page 11 Decorations for an old-fashioned Christmas The smell of pine from the Christmas tree mixes with the aroma of cookies baking in the oven. There’s mistletoe hung in the doorway, a wreath on the front door and a cat curled up in front of a warm fire. It’s the image of an oldfashioned Christmas, a mood many of us try to capture in our homes today. A good place to start is with live greenery—holly, mistletoe, boxwood, pine and firbrightened with fruit or red ribbon. One simple decoration, part of Dutch Christmas tradition, recalls the legend of the three bags of gold that Saint Nicholas gave to three young women as their dowry. The decoration combines pine sprigs and three oranges representing the bags of gold. The pine sprigs are bundled with florist wire at the branch end, and the oranges are em­ bedded with wire and attached to the pine. A more elaborate decoration, popular in the mid-1800s, is the kissing bell. Made of boxwood, mistletoe, candles and apples suspended with yarn, the bell provided an excuse for young couples to exchange a kiss as they tried to take a bite from the apples. Other traditional decorations, easily constructed at home, in­ clude dried flower wreaths and delarobbia wreaths in which assorted fruits such as apples, tangerines, lemons and limes are wired to pine or fir boughs. Complete instructions for making these and other oldfashioned Christmas decorations are included in the NovemberDecember issue of the Historical Society of Michigan Newsletter. The instructions were prepared by professional staff members at Greenfield Village. The newsletter also includes a calendar of events listing in­ formation about tree trimming workshops, Christmas walks, and other Christmas activities in the Metropolitan Detroit area and throughout the state.

Continued from page 9 The world's most remote fishing lodge is located deep in the Ama­ zon jungle, hundreds of miles from traffic lights and jangling tele­ phones. Yet. it's as modem as anything we've got in these parts. And. it's as easy to get to as the average Canadian fly-in camp. The place is called El Dorado Lodge, and it's named after the chain of clear lakes on which it is located. Dorado means gold in Spanish, and. as legend has it. a cache of Indian gold is buried in these lakes. -But I'm not a treasure hunter, and neither are the other Norte Americanos who safari to El Dor­ ado each winter. We're more inter­ ested in the big golden-hued fish which inhabit these lakes, a fish which we call the peacock bass. The peacock bass is a helluva fish. It has much the same habits as our largemouth bass and. despite its colorful attire, about the same body conformity. It is leaner and mean­ er. though, and grows to a larger size. The current world record for the species was set here a couple of years ago and weighed 19‘i pounds. Larger fish inhabit these waters, though. The local witch doctor says they exceed 18 kilos (that's 40 pounds) but I think he's understating the subject. I saw one which was six inches between the eyes, and even for a Missourian, that's a big fish. Two years ago I had one of these bass strip a hundred yards of 20pound-test line off an Ambassadeur reel, and I have yet to return from a fishing trip there without breaking a rod, losing half of my lures, or using up a spool of extra line. Earlier this year I was successful in boating a 16‘/i pounder and, considering the species of fish, this was quite an accomplishment. The lodge is situated on the top of a hill overlooking one of the lakes and has a total guest capacity of 24 people. Rooms have all the modem amenities. There's a bar, dining room, even a swimming pool. Outboard-powered dugout canoes shuttle guests from one fish­ ing hole to another, and the guides, who don't speak much English, do a first-class job of keeping every­ body happy. The food is great, and, whether you believe me or not, there are no mosquitoes. This Amazon fishin' hole is reached by a two-hour charter flight from Bogota, Colombia, which in turn is serviced by daily flights from the U.S. by Braniff International. Flying time from Miami to Bogota is less than three hours, which indi­ cates that South America isn't as far away as most of us think. The best time to go fishing down there, incidentally, is when our driveways are piled high with snow, and our bass are hibernating for the winter. Makes sense, doesn’t it? mine whether our general health has been affected by PBB. Second question: Would there be some value to knowing that a certain level of symptoms can be related to our past PBB ex­ posure? Is it likely that anything could be done to treat the problem either on a general population scale or specifically on an individual basis? You can see I am highly suspicious that there will be no benefits from such a study. Still, I am almost ready to vote for it. The PBB contamination was a unique historic accident and the more information we can gather, the better prepared we will be for the future. However, I am strongly against insisting that the study be done by Dr. Irving Selikoff. His earlier Michigan work was broadly criticized on a scientific basis. He failed to provide for proper controls which could validate his conclusion that Michigan far­ mers had had health effects which could be traced to PBB. The failure was especially glaring in regard to the handling of blood samples from which he drew immunilogical conclusions. A separate, independent study at this time might help to confirm or deny Selikoff's conclusions. Big Brothers-Sisters need CARD OF THANKS The family of E.

This honor was bestowed upon Representative Nash by Representative Edward Manalak, chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee. According to Sam Story, executive director of the VFW National Home, Nash has done a lot of work on behalf of the home and has actively supported the work it does for the children of deceased and disabled members of the VFW and its Ladies Auxiliary. The presentation of the life membership came as a surprise to Representative Nash who said he was "absolutely overwhelmed and deeply honored."

Arguments center on the bill's relative cost, and its lack of conservation measures. TAX 8TOR Y--Gover nor Milliken has signed into law HB 4178, which requires that a summary of state income and spending be included in Michigan Income Tax instruction booklets This information will appear with the upcoming 1977 forms MEDICAID FRAUD-The Governor has also signed four other bills which let the state take licensing action against dentists, medical practitioners, and hospital and nursing home operators who are convicted of fraudulently obtaining Medicaid fees SBT HASSLE—House and Senate conferees will meet this week to attempt to resolve their differences regarding SB 734, which revises the Single Business Tax. The House has supported tax relief to small and low-profit businesses via increased labor­ cost and income exemptions, while the Senate prefers a heavier rate on corporate profits and a lower rate on small firms. DOG LICENSE—Now before the full House is HB 4180, which would make dog licenses good for two years and require that you buy them before March 1 of every odd-numbered year; right now, they must be annual. Also, licensed veterinarians could accept fees and issue dog licenses. DOCUMENT SAFETY-Both houses have now approved SB 324-26, which together would require that Michigan drivers' licenses, personal identification cards, and vehicle registration cards be manufactured in such a way as to prohibit as much as possible the reproduction, alteration, counterfeiting, duplication or forgery of these documents. This toughens up present laws. BICYCLE REGISTRATIONThe House will soon vote on HB 4369, which would set up a uniform bicycle licensing and Attention Parents!

Gingrass points out that we must learn to lower our use of energy, because there is a limit to our energy. We all have to work at conserving if we expect to get anywhere. Right now our only real cure is to cut back and make conservation work-stretching what we do have to go further and last longer. Industries are our largest users of energy. One-half of our resources could be saved, if we mixed them together. A factory uses about 41 percent gas and 18 percent oil, we can save, but then again we have to face the fact of needs, wants and population increasing year to year. New conservation can help, but we need time and money. Transportation is also a major use of energy. Adjustments have to be made to help save a good proportion of our resources. Heating and cooling also use about 80 percent of our energy. A few ways to help improve are by our education, our market system - raising prices to meet our demands, tax raising, and just regulating what we have. We have to use a creative mind, be very serious-this problem can be met for a price. We must accept the challenge. Mr. James C. Woodruff, director of the Gas Division of the Michigan Public Service Com­ mission, was also a speaker at the Energy Convention. Woodruff studied petroleum engineering and received a degree in Geological Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines. He is considered an energy expert in the real world of energy. He also told us that Michigan imports 90-95 percent of its natural gas from Texas, Gulf of Mexico and other parts of the world. Gas creates a force which is very uncontrolled and dangerous. Example of an erruption was in Michigan, near Traverse City. Thanks to the help of people, things worked out. Thanks to other people we enjoy our energy. A few bad experiences have allowed us to continue to live and use our energy. Some have died, ac­ cidents have taken place, some are still lost from war, and some have been electrocuted-all to. let us enjoy our energy. We ha ve to think deeply and not shallow when it comes to this serious problem. Energy, ac­ cording to Woodruff, is the dif­ ference between the way we live and being “beast of burden” (muscle power). This is sometimes misunderstood because of the cost of energy' in environmental destruction. Factors behind the “beast- of burden” are: air pollution behind a pair of muscles (using muscles instead of tractors) ; New York before automobiles (horses); think of the total amount of land being used for transportation now. Our land is dedicated to transportation. Energy is 'the servant of mankind. Because of our need for energy, population growth in­ definitely cannot happen. Our space program -is also involved. To represent our time and the measurement of fossil fuels used, we have a graph called “Hubbord’s Pimple”. We must read and listen to others. Hear what other experts have to say. As we focus upon Michigan, we find that Michigan must import 100 percent of its coal even though there is coal right in Lansing, Flint, Grand Ledge and other cities. There is no more mining in Michigan because the coal is of low quantity, wet, discontinuous us. erroded, and hard to get at. Most of our oil is also imported from Canada and overseas. In 1925 we did some producing. The embargo of 1973 was, more or less, a great favor to the foreign countries. In 1948 the Arabs shut off, but we still continued to export. In 1956 Arabs and Israel both produced; in 1967 both shut off. By 1973 we became 20-25 percent dependent on all imported-oil. We went from the largest exporter to the largest importer. Today, 1977, we are 49­ 50 percent oil dependent. We must think for ourself and do it wisely.

Nashville Wednesdoy No^e^be*- 30. 1977« Poe* 5 Mystery alcohol boosts field test crop yeild Field trials indicate that the yield of crops such as navy beans, sweet corn and cucumbers can be increased by up to 24 percent by using the growth-stimulating natural alcohol called triacontanol, according to Stanley K Ries, professor of horticulture "Results from our first year of field tests are surprisingly good," Ries announced this week at the 15th Annual New Horizons of .Science Briefing in New York "Increases in yield averaged from 7 to 22 percent, if all our test plots with 10 different crops are considered," Ries said. "The average increase for all plots of all crops was 12 percent These averages were based on com­ parisons of all of the different rates and times of applications (including those with crops where tnacontanol did not ap­ pear effective) with identical but untreated controls." The crops examined in this first year of triacontanol field testing included navy beans, asparagus, field com, sweet com, carrots, cucumbers, lettuce, radishes, tomatoes and wheat The yields of three of the ten crops, field corn, lettuce and wheat, were not significantly higher than un­ treated controls. Ries noted, however, that Alvin J. Ohlrogge, Purdue University agronomist, was able to boost MEMBtK nna Association • Founded 1885 Maple Valley News Nashville. Michigan.

Favorable field test results increase the optimism for the future of the alcohol as a rapid means of boosting food production. But, Ries remains cautious in his predictions of the chemical’s future. "We still don’t know much at all about how this alcohol biochemically causes the plants to grow and yield more,” he says. “So, we can’t predict how triacontanol will work outside of our particular climate. It is still possible that the chemical won’t work in other important crop production areas such as the tropics or more arid locales. In fact, it may not work in Michigan next year.” Problems also are caused by the fact that the triacontanol-peracre requirements are so small. “At what appears to be the most effective rate for navy beans and cucumbers--5 milligrans per acre-a pound of triacontanol would make enough spray to fill 450 railroad tank cars and would treat 90,000 acres," Ries said. "Clearly, rate and method of application are most difficult problems,” he said. "I'm con­ fident that there are better ways of applying triacontanol than the foliar sprays that we used in our field trials this year.” The economic feasibility of triacontanol remains to be seen, Ries said, but added that the small quantities needed and the wide market for application are positive signs. Triacontanol was first isolated and identified in 1933 by the English scientist, A.C. Chibnail. Since then the alcohol has been found to be widely distributed in the environment, particularly in plant leaf waxes. But, its unusual growth stimulating properties were unknown until Ries discovered them in 1976. The oil embargo by OPEC nations in the early 1970’s brought rapid price hikes for commercial nitrogen fertilizers in the United States. “As a substitute, we thought the nitrogen-rich forages, like alfalfa, might be used as a fer­ tilizer in an emergency,” Ries said. continued from page 4 — Results of the first field tests in 1975 were surprising. Alfalfatreated tomatoes yielded 16 tons more per acre than the best plots where nitrogen was compared with alfalfa as a fertilizer sup­ plement. The increased crop yields couldn’t be attributed to nitrogen alone, so Ries set out to find out why and discovered triancontanol, with the analytical research help of Charles Sweeley, professor of biochemistry, and Violet Wert, senior research assistant in horticulture. The fact that triacontanol is common in the environment, coupled with the very low treatment rate, leads the scientists to feel the chemical will not become an environmental problem. It has yet to be deter­ mined how much testing the government will require, Ries said. “Triacontanol creates a lot of interesting new research questions,” says Ries, “but the real excitement goes back to the obvious implications for helping us to understand plant growth and perhaps helping hungry people in developing countries.” Taken from MSU NEWS­ BULLETIN, 11.17.77 This article was furnished by the Barry County Cooperative Extension Service.

(Be sure NOT to use self-rising flour.)Next, add one cup water, a little at a time, mixing as you pour, to form the dough into a ball. Knead the dough for about ten minutes untilit is smooth and firm. Place dough that won’t be used right away into a plastic bag to keep it from drying. Then - you’re ready to sculpt! For nametags, roll out long piece of dough until it is about the thickness of a breadstick. Shape letters of name from one con­ tinuous piece on the cookie sheet for the handwritten effect. Or, make each letter individually, as in printing, joining letters by moistening both edges with water and pressing them together. For more elaborate letters, braid or twist dough pieces before shaping, if desired. When name is completed, tiny aspic cookie cutters can be used to add further decorations - bells, stars or small flowers - to the letters. To bake, set cookie sheet in the oven at 325 degrees.

It follows on the heels of an excellent regular firearm season, November 15-30. The .season provides an op­ portunity for hunters who did not take a deer during the regular season to try their luck with the historic firearm-the muz­ zleloader.

Hunters must use a muzzleloading rifle or shotgun, .44caliber or larger, with round ball and black powder. By its very nature, muz­ zleloading places restrictions on hunters. Most muzzleloaders, in order to be sure of a clean sure shot, limit their shots to no more than 75 yards. Even when the hunter has limited his distance and carefully aligned the sights, there may still be a question in his mind when he November 30 and December 1 and 2 folks will have the op­ portunity to learn more about C.R.O.P. at the National Bank of Hastings.

Will his historical replica fire? Although a misfire is a rare occurrence, it can happen and probably for one of two reasons. Either the gun is dirty or the charge fouled. Muzzleloaders must take great care to be sure that their rifle is clean prior to loading. Many hunters stop occasionally to change the priming or nipple, especially on damp or rainy days. The priming is the finer powder in the flintlock’s pan and the nipple is the tiny tube-like part of the firearm upon which the cap is placed. Dave Arnold, DNR deer specialist, reminds those trying muzzleloading for the first time that the only black powder they should use in a muzzleloader is commercially manufactured black powder specifically designed for use in muzzleloading firearms. The only alternative to this is the specific brand of powder known as Pyrodex from the Hodgdon Powder Company. “Pyrodex is a black powder substitute. It doesn’t have as dangerous a property as black powder,” Arnold says. The muzzleloading deer season ends December 11.

A Michigan 4-H member, who plans to become a nurse, has won a $1,000 special 4-H scholarship. She is Mickylouise Myers, 18, 6600 Westlake Road, Bellevue. Miss Myers was one of two 4H’ers selected by The Cooperative Extension Service from a 15-state area. She received her scholarship from The Edwin T. Meredith Foun­ dation. Winners were announced at the 56th National 4-H Congress which was held in Chicago, November 27-December 1. The winner, an eight-year 4-H member, is the daughter of Mrs. Beverly Myers. In discussing her career goal, the Barry County 4-H winner said, “I have always wanted to help other people since I was small. Most small girls want to be nurses and then lose the desire later to something else that in­ terests them. “I have a deep feeling for people and would like to be able to help others who are ill,” the winner said. Miss Myers took her first steps toward nursing before graduating from high school. She attended a local vocational education center and has already received certificates for com­ pleting their courses in nurse’s aide, home health aide and geriatrics worker. She has worked as a nurse’s aide in local hospitals. During her 4-H years, she was named all-around 4-H’er for Barry. County, and won the most outstanding dairy science project award. She won the grand champion for goats four times and the reserve champion on three occasions. She won grand champion for dogs in 1975 and took the reserve champion place the following year. In high school Miss Myers belongs to the National Honor Society and the yearbook staff and served on the student council for four years. She has worked as a volunteer for the American Red Cross, the Blood Bank, and the Big Brothers-Big Sisters organization.

VENISON STEAKS OR CHOPS (for just plain hungry people with meat, potatoes and gravy ap­ petites): Cut the venison steak or chops about % inch to 1 inch thick, then treat them exactly like prime beef steaks. Or if you want to get a bit fancier, rub salt and pepper into the steak and dust with flour. Fry in hot fat until brown. Place the steak in a roaster and cover with mushrooms. Sizzle on top of stove for 20 minutes. Remove steak and pour 2 cups of red wine into the roasting pan and thicken to make gravy. ROLLED VENISON ROAST (serves one to six people, depending on the people): Fourpound piece of venison (use rump cut or top of round rolled and tied). Salt and pepper. Try to use at least a four-pound roast since venison shrinks during cooking. Place the meat in a conventional roasting pan but do not cover or add water. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Roast in oven, 300 degrees Fahrenheit (low tem- perature retards shrinkage), ffrequently basting with liquid shortening. Finish basting with juices accumulating from roast. Allow 32-35 minutes cooking time for each pound of meat. VENISON SOUP (a good lunch for a cold winter day): 2’4 pounds venison vberenassot (shank, flank, neck or reast meat), 2 quarts cold water, 1 cup diced carrots, cups diced potatoes, % cup diced celery, % cup finely chopped onion, 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley, 3 cups of tomato juice, 2 tablespoons of salt, *4 teaspoon pepper, (4 teaspoon savory, 1 tablespoon sugar.

Ronald Shanin has made a specialty of producing films about the remote areas of Africa and has traveled extensively in many African countries. He shot cattle-killing lions for a chief, and later began filming the wildlife and primitive tribes. “Rivers of Fire and Ice”, a film which took him 5 years to produce and which cost the lives of two men, was given a “best film” award by the California Motion Picture Council, and the National Screen Council gave the film its coveted Box Office Blue Ribbon award which is presented to only 12 films a year. It is now being screened in theatres around the world by Universal Pictures. Shanin’s photos have appeared in LIFE, LOOK, NEWSWEEK, SPORTS ILLUSTRATED and in the McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, and some of his films have been used on the TV show “High Adventure with Lowell Thomas”. He has supplied the U.S. Navy with films of poisonous snakes for their Training Global Medicine Program. Shanin has a degree in Hey Frank (Heinze), What happened your suspenders?!

After outfitting himself for a long safari in Johannesburg, a city with lots of gold and diamonds, Shanin gets per­ mission from game officials to raise two baby eagles. Included are flight shots of the parent eagles soaring majestically and performing aerobatics. As the birds grow up in his jungle camp there are moments of comedy as the eagles try to cope with life on safari. The eagles even help Shanin to keep his camp free of rodents by swooping down on them whenever he blows a whistle! In Kruger National Park in South Africa big bull elephants provoke autos along the roads. A lioness chases after a giraffe, leaps 16 feet onto the neck of the fleeing animal, then drops to the ground. Lions dashing after impala are foiled impalaare oiled intheirattempt in their attempt by tourist cars which get in the way. We visit Serowe in Botswana, the largest city in Africa composed almost entirely of thatthed huts. The huts and fences and yards are so neatly maintained that Serowe looks like a model village in a glass museum case. A few miles away is a village of nearly extinct Bushmen, a tribe with unusual customs and an appearance different from all other African tribes. Shanin learns of the existence of a shy and elusive tribe called the Wadoma, who live in the steaming Zambezi Valley of Central Africa, who are alleged to have only two toes on each foot. After weeks of tracking them with the assistance of a police scout, he manages to film one of the strange tribesmen. The pictures show that they do indeed exist. Shanin shows the tiny Bambutti Pygmies of Zaire how to milk a spitting cobra of its venom and put the poison on their arrow heads in place of the sloweracting vegetable poison they have been using for years. The Pygmies are terrified of the cobra, but they did use the arrows Shanin prepared for them with the cobra poison on the heads. Here is a film with lots of variety, lots of information about the remote regions of Africa and lots of action. 301 S.

One kind of holiday decoration has been increasing in popularity over the past several years, and the trend promises to continue this season. It’s the use by America’s homes of one of nature’s most enjoyable gifts-a living, growing Christmas tree. Perhaps this is due, in part, to our deepening appreciation for more that is “natural” in our surroundings. It is certain that the beauty and fragrance of a live tree indoors for the holidays cannot be equaled by an artificial tree, or even by a cut tree. There is an economy factor, too, even though the living tree may cost more than a cut evergreen at the outset. When the yuletide has ended, the Christmas tree continues outdoors through years to come as an investment that grows, in­ creasing the value of its property, adding beauty, screening nut unwanted sights and sounds. Some suggestions from the American Association of Nur­ serymen can help assure your pleasure from this year’s living Christmas tree. The first tip is something you can do right now. Decide where you will want the tree to take up residence after Santa’s visit and prepare the hole ahead of time. The hole should be sufficiently deep and wide to accommodate the root ball with a bit of room to spare. Put some organic material, like peat moss, at the bottom, and mix some of the same material with the soil you have removed. Leave that soil right beside the hole, which you should cover with boards nobody will stumble into it before the tree is installed. Plan to keep the tree in the house no more than about ten days. That is about as long as it will be happy in the dry indoor environment. Place it in some kind of container that will let you keep the root ball quite moist during those days. The nursery people say about a quart of water every couple of days may be sufficient. Miniature lights are best for a living tree. The large ones tend to overheat, even scorch the green growth around them. The sturdy branches of a living tree permit you great freedom and imagination in your use of hanging ornaments, though. One final recommendation. Plant the tree as soon as you take it outdoors. That’s when you’ll be glad you prepared its new home ahead of time.

And remember, in cars with hidden wipers, you should remove all snow and ice from the windshield before operating the wipers or else you may damage the mechanism. The radiator should be checked to ensure that the antifreeze concentration is strong enough to withstand the temperature conditions in your area. After you’ve checked under the hood, yow may want to give the car a thorough washing and waxing to protect the finish over the harsh months ahead. If, in spite of all your precautions, you get stuck in the snow, stay calm. Spinning your wheels will only dig you deeper in the snow. Try turning your wheels from side to side to push the snow away from the tires. Then, gently ease forward. If that doesn’t work, you may try rocking the car, but check your owner’s manual to make sure it will not damage your automatic transmission. A few items you stowed away in the trunk for a time like this will now come in handy. Make sure you store a bag of sand or rock salt. A little shoveled under the rear wheels should increase traction.

How accurate are they? i.ots of fisher­ men. 1 know, follow these tables religiously. But the big question is. how much attention does a bass pay to these neat prognostications of his behavior? I suspect not very much. These fishing guidelines are just too general to be of much value, and at best they could only be accu­ rate for one area and for one or two species of fish. Use them.if you wish, but I suggest that you also usecommon sense in the process. Most of us have heard that a fall­ ing barometer will turn off feeding fish like a light bulb. But. over the years I haven't found this to be the case, and 1 now seriously doubt the validity of this theory. 1 compared my experiences with other anglers and found most of them agreed with me. But the most dramatic evi­ dence obtained to refute this theory came from a Braniff airline pilot whose hobby was skin diving. You see, barometric pressure is air pressure. Its fluctuation could effect you and me. our household pets, or any other creature that fives in our environment. But a fish’s aquatic world is entirely dif­ ferent. The same rules don’t apply, and the effects of barometric pres­ sure is one ofthese. “How about it, Charlie?” I asked my pilot friend. “How much effect does a few degrees of baro­ metric air pressure have on a fish in 10 feet ofwater?” He thought about the question for a moment and then replied. "None whatever. Since water is so much heavier than air. a few de­ grees difference in our pressure could have no effect on water pres­ sure." Now. that makes sense, doesn’t it. But. some of our fishing theories do hold up. and the rule about fish­ ing early and late on clear days is one of-these. Why? Because fish don't have eyelids like you and I do. and they can't swim down to a comer drugstore and pick up a pair of sunglasses. So. when the sun is bright and hot they sink into deep water or seek the cover of an under­ cut bank. Activity is confined to dawn and dusk and. in the case of a full moon, at night. Fish also have an acute sense of hearing. They can hear a footfall on the bank, the clatter of an oar against the side of a boat. Talk, if you will, but any sound that sends vibrations into the water should be avoided. The same situation applies to taste. Catfish can taste with their entire body and detect the presence of a crawfish under a rock ten yards away. Taste buds of a bass are not so well developed, but they can taste and smell your scent on a lure or such foreign flavors as gasoline and tobacco. Summarizing, some of our man­ made fishing theories may or may not be valid, but if you’ll put your­ self in a fish's position and think and feel like he does your odds of fishing success should increase.

The cookie dough must be soft and pliable. Varia­ tions in flour and the size of eggs sometimes make it necessary to omit or add a tablespoon or three of flour. When dough is too stiff, an egg white should be added. When dough is mixed by hand, it may be necessary to use a bit less flour than the recipe calls for. Do not chill the dough. 4*4*4’44 Christmas trees all a-sparkle make the holidays a marvel. NAME ADDRESS AGE PHONE HECKER AGENCY 225 N.

The Maple Valley Varsity boys basketball team opened its season this week dropping the first two games to Caledonia and Central Montcalm. Tuesday’s game game with Caledonia ended in a 69-64 loss for Valley. The visiting Scotties had a 21-point advantage in the third quarter before the Lions started a drive which resulted in a 32-point fourth quarter. The effort fell short, however, due to some fine free-throw shooting by Caledonia. The Lions outscored their opponents 26 field goals to 23 but the Scotties held the edge at the free-throw line hitting on 23 to 31 attempts.

But 4-H is based on individual initiative. As such, it develops attitudes basic to becoming productive adults. Projects themselves may be small, individual work units. These could possibly produce income for many youth. 4-H certainly has not answered or solved all the issues the youth of today face. But more often than not, the 4-H program, with its committed volunteer leaders, does face issues head on. There are still youth who could benefit from 4-H activities, but who aren’t yet participating in the program. This is certainly one issue we need to work to meet.

A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative HOME HEATING - The House has approved HB 4371, which would give low-income and senior-citizen families up to $250 to help pay winter heating bills. Debate centered on the bill’s lack of energy conservation provisions, and its cost of $47.5 million. LABOR LAW - The House will soon consider SB 714, which is to bring Michigan into line with changes in federal law regarding unemployment benefits. Controversy centers on the bill’s inclusion of non-teaching school employees for summer benefits. DRUG PACKAGE - Now before the full Senate is a six-bill package of House measures designed to crack down on illegal drug dealers. It provides for increased prison terms, mandatory sentences and the use of telephone wiretaps in drugrelated investigations. EAVESDROPPING BAN - By a narrow margin of 56-46, the House has approved HB 4372, which bans eavesdropping by private companies. Newspaper and telephone companies argued that listening in to employee performance on the telephone is necessary; if this is enacted, the only eavesdropping allowed would be by telephone companies for training and repairs, with a beeper tone.

MINIMUM WAGE - Now in the Senate is HB 5476, which expands the Minimum Wage Law to cover employers with two or more employees, and employees over age 65. Present law applies only to employers with four or more employees and to employees up to 65 years of age. SUNDAY LIQUOR - The House has passed and sent to the Senate HB 5697, which extends the hours of Sunday liquor sales from 2 a.m. to 4 a.m. only for a New Year’s Day which falls on a Sunday, as it will next month. A provision to also extend Sunday hours from noon back to 10 a.m., designed to improve Sunday brunch business, was taken out of the bill by the House. EMPLOYEE FILES Last week the House also approved HB 5381, which would give employees or their representatives the right to periodically review their personnel files, and to provide a written response to any material in their files with which they disagree. SEX EDUCATION - Governor Milliken has now signed into law HB 4425, which repeals the longstanding ban on discussion of birth control in Michigan public schools and allows school districts to provide instruction on family planning and con­ traception, excluding abortion. SCHOOL CONTRACTS Although we’re now three months into the school year, 17 percent of Michigan’s 530 school districts are-•still without teacher con­ tracts.

W*dn*»doy, Docombor 7,1977 - Pag* 4 market tips by Maryann Beckman Consumer Marketing Information-Agent COOPERATIVE EXTENSION SERVICE Chicken, pork, citrus fruits, eggs and potatoes will be the food items that will help you stretch holiday money the most this month, reports Maryann Beck­ man, Consumer Food Marketing Agent. Check on chicken for good values this month and in early 1978. Supplies are currently three to four percent over a year ago and retailers are already featuring fryer parts as well as whole birds. No need to stock up either for supplies are expected to be even larger in the first half of 1978. The turkey market is puzzling though. Supplies are down only slightly from a year ago but distributors say fewer birds are available than the figures suggest. Most say there’ll be few, if any, special features for the remainder of the year. Beef prices will continue to increase the rest of the year, for supplies are down. Because of the decrease in nonfed cattle and cow slaughter, most of the reduction will be in the lower quality, leaner cuts. Hamburger prices, therfore, will probably increase more than other cuts. This reduction in leaner beef will probably also have a significant impact on fast-food steak and hamburger establishments. Pork prices are expected to decline through the rest of the year so look for some good values on roasts, chops, sausage, etc. Ham for the holiday dinner may cost more though, especially canned. The dock strike has reduced shipments of imported hams so demand is greater for domestic hams as well. Together it adds up to higher prices for canned hams which puts pressure also on all other hams. Lower feed costs have promp­ ted egg production increases so eggs will continue to be featured to move the supplies. Holiday When you want results... ... give our classified department a call!

Maple Valley News Phone 945-9554 baking time normally increases demand and prices but retailers say consumers aren’t baking yet or are baking less, for demand has been slack. Apples, avocados, bananas, coconuts and citrus fruits are star attractions this month. Anjou, Bose and Comice pears are also available as well as several varieties of grapes. This is the last big month for cran­ berry supplies so freeze some for use in winter and spring meals while you have the chance. The exotic holiday fruits, such as pomegranates, persimmons, kumquats and kiwi fruit are also available, for some fun and different mealtime additions. Barring a freeze, grapefruit prices should continue to be at­ tractive this year. Total production is up two percent with Florida’s pink crop up 20 percent from a year ago. The orange crop is considered adequate even though less than last year’s freeze-reduced crop. It’s peak season for both tangelos and tangerines with both crops about the same as last year in supply. Canned cling peaches, canned pears, corn and tomato products are the best processed choices. Look for specials. In the nut department you should find pecan prices lower than last year’s but almonds and walnuts are about the same or slightly higher prices. Tree nuts are in substantially larger supply than a year ago, especially pecans. Broccoli, cabbage, carrots, celery, squash, root vegetables and white potatoes all represent reasonable vegetable choices. Broccoli prices are lower than a year ago, as are cabbage prices for the very good quality crop. Smaller supplies of celery (by mid-month) and lettuce will mean higher prices but supplies of escarole and endive are in­ creasing to help give variety to salads. Fresh mushrooms will be in good supply. White potatoes will continue to be featured during December and the months ahead, but choose carefully before buying. A larger than usual share of Michigan potatoes is suffering the effects of “ground frost”. Extra efforts will be made to sort out the damaged ones but some are likely to get ttirough.

Tire industry sets up new task force to promote safety, save gas, with right air WASHINGTON, D.C. — The tire industry has formed a special high-level task force to direct a massive new campaign for proper tire inflation as a way pp y to save gas and promote highway safety, it was announced today. The action was disclosed by Malcolm R. Lovell, Jr., president of the Rubber Manufacturers Association. “We hope to secure the cooperation of the oil companies, the automobile manufacturers, equipment suppliers, government agencies and private safety groups in this important effort,” said Lovell. “It will benefit everybody by conserving energy and making our streets and high­ ways safer.” The new RMA “Task Force on Tire Inflation” is headed by Thomas E. Cole, RMA Vice President-Tire Division. “We have three goals,” Cole said. “First is to educate the motorist about the need and advantages of proper tire in­ flation. Second is to keep com com-­ pressed air easily available to him. Third is to promote the use of on-board tire inflation in­ dicators which will show when tire pressure is low.”. The Task Force is made up of leading representatives of .the tire companies which belong to RMA. It has been divided into five subcommittees to work in­ dividually with oil companies, auto companies, tire companies, government agencies and other “concerned” private safety organizations. “We are going to carry the safety and economy, message to every one of these groups, and seek their help,” said Cole. Government and industry surveys have shown that more than 25 percent of automobiles have seriously underinflated tires. “This wastes money and en­ dangers lives,” Cole declared. “Properly inflated tires can add up to five percent to your gasoline mileage. They also give longer treadwear. Underinflated tires run hotter, wear out faster, and are subject to early failure which can cause an accident.” Phone 945-9554 for Want-ads Notices, Thank You's, etc. 7-UP Eckrich Bologna 2 Litre Reg. *1.29 > ins Potato Hy-Ration Chips $159 Dog Food ■ 5 lbs.

This free public program is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. Of those participating, one musician will be representing the Barry County area. Joe Jarvie, a 1977 graduate of Maple Valley High School is a member of the tuba section of the Western Michigan University Symphonic Band. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Jarvie, 1954 Price Road, Nashville, and is pursuing a music major at the university. Among the works to be per­ formed are Creston’s Concertino for Marimba, featuring marimba soloist Kathy Johnson, a senior from Grand Rapids. Also on the program are Rocky Point Holiday by Ron Nelson, and Giannini’s Variations and Fugue. An innovation this year, the formation of two Symphonic Bands instead ofjust one is due to increasing student interest in ensemble experience. The two bands will perform separately in Sunday’s concert. News from the Senate Republican information office in Lansing Young people might have a tougher time buying cigarettes if a resolution introduced today by Senate Republican Leader Bob Davis is approved by the Michigan Legislature. The Davis resolution urges stricter reinforcement of a 1915 Michigan law which prohibits the sale of cigarettes to minors. The law was amended in 1972 tochange the age of majority from 21 to 18. “It is incumbent upon the Michigan Legislature to protect the health and well-being of our children and to ensure that Michigan laws are strictly en­ forced,” the resolution reads. “All too often, youths' become addicted to cigarette smoking before they are able to adequately assess the danger to which they are subjecting themselves.” “I want to clarify that the in­ tent of this resolution is not to ask the police to stop every young person with a cigarette and check identification. I know that is an impossible task.

Our corn yields this year should average about 90 bushels per acre compared to a long-term average of 73 bushels. Soybeans are up this year also. Thirty-four bushels compared to 28 bushels. As for white beans, we have had a better yield than average — 25 bushels compared to 18 — but we finally had some good weather in which to harvest the crop while the eastern counties in the Saginaw Valley and the Thumb area were not able to harvest their entire crop. So, we were extremely for­ tunate this year. The agricultural pricing structure is not op­ timistic, however. The cost of machinery and other farm production items have continued their upward inflationary spiral while grain prices have dropped significantly. For example, machinery costs have risen about 15 percent during the year while soybean prices have dropped 20 percent and corn is down 25 percent from last year’s price. Of significance to the con­ suming public is the fact that food costs have been rising steadily despite the lower on-farm prices for the raw products of these same food items. It is not a healthy prospect for our entire country. No nation has ever long existed when the agricultural segment of its society did not remain viable.

A united effort cosponsored by a number of area churches, the Lundstrom service will be held at the Junior High School. Making up The Lundstroms, heard weekly on 140 radio stations with their "Message For America” program, are three brothers, two wives and five children. There are also a number of non-family members in the crusade organization. The team leader is Lowell Lundstrom who has written over 300 gospel songs, many of which will be presented at the service. Traveling along with him are his wife, Connie and their two daughters, Londa and Lisa. Their son, Tiny (Lowell, Jr.), is part of t the team. Larry, the middle Lundstrom brother, has his family—wife, Gloria and two daughters,, LaShawn and LaDawn—traveling with the team. All the Lundstroms sing at rally services. Also working with The Lundstrom ministry is youngest brother Leon; Billy Simmons, the team’s steel guitarist; Chris Ward, the children’s tutor and John Poore, the sound director. Lowell Lundstrom, raised near Sisseton, South Dakota, was converted while still a nightclub performer and dance-band leader. Since that time, he and his team have traveled an average of 300 days a year conducting rallies and crusades across the United States. The team has recorded over 15 record albums, including the recently released, "Just For You.” This year they will be seen nationwide on two full color television specials, “The Lundstroms Singin’ Down In Dixie!” and "A Lundstrom Country Christmas.” The meeting will begin promptly at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, December 10. Ad­ mission is free, and good seats should be available for all who attend.

There are 78 choose-and-cut Christmas Tree Farms in Michigan A trip to the country to find a special tree to grace the family’s living room at Christmas is an age-old custom that is being revived each year at Michigan’s 78 choose-and-cut Christmas tree farms, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. “Even a latter-day Scrooge can’t help but get in the holiday spirit after a wagon ride through a snowy field of evergreens with the entire family,” stated Joseph Ratke, Auto Club touring manager. Each year, more farms than ever go out of their way to make tree-cutting trips special events by offering pony and wagon rides, yule log fires, train rides, plus free treats and weekend visits by Santa, Auto Club said. At many of the farms listed on Auto Club’s guide, hot apple cider Don’t forget we offer a fine selection of Christmas Wrappings and Cards!

Smallest of the trees are “table top” models just right for mobile homes, apartments or children’s bedrooms. The largest, including exotic Austrian, French and concolor pines, as well as Michigan’s state tree, the white pine, can fill the corner of any room. For a small charge, at least one farm treats spruce trees-which usually drop needles fastest-with a preservative to retard shed­ ding. Michigan’s farms sell more than a dozen tree types, with prices ranging from $1 for Scotch pines to $20 for blue and Norway spruce and up to $50 for large flocked trees-sealed and sprayed with a special snowy coating. Forty-nine farms feature trees eight to 25 feet tall for churches and businesses. Eight operations clean trees by machine and 33 farms wrap trees for easy transport. Almost all farms have pre-cut trees. Auto Club offers these tips for persons cutting their own trees this season: — • If going on a weekend, bring a hand saw. Although 67 farms lend saws, they all may be in use upon arrival. Axes are not allowed on most farms. • Keep in mind that while most pines and Douglas firs hold needles, balsams and spruces shed profusely if not properly watered. • After choosing a tree, saw close to the ground. • Although most farms provide twine to tie trees to cars, bring rope just in case. Tie the tree’s base at the front of the car. • Store trees in a bucket of Continued next col. cFo/tCkfcisimas Swivel Rockers A weekly report from: Senator Richard Allen How long will it take to establish factually the extent of human health damage done by PBB? I’m often asked that question in such a manner that indicates the questioner feels that we have been deficient in determing exactly how much damage has been done. At this point, I’m inclined to answer the question with another question—how long did it take to establish factually whether the earth was round or flat? I don’t mean to be flippant. I’m just trying to point out that complex scientific questions are not quickly settled. Even if the evidence seems to be predominantly on one side, a considerable amount of evidence must build up before scientists will agree that something has been established factually. The public may then lag behind the scientists in their agreement that the fact has been established. Evolution may be an example of this, or perhaps, cigarettes as a cancer cause. Sometimes, however, the public is more willing to accept something as factual than the scientists. PBB is, in my opinion, an example of this. We are a long way from any scientific agreement on whether any human health damage has been done, let alone the extent of it.

I am not siding with Farm Bureau or Michigan Chemical when I refuse to be stampeded by Dr. Irving Selikoff’s study into accepting as fact PBB health damages in Michigan. A recent PBB workshop at Michigan State University brought vigorous scientific criticism of the Selikoff study. Two recent PBB studies are interesting. One done by Michigan Department of Public Health officials, along with researchers of the University of Michigan and the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, demonstrated no immunilogical problems in people with high PBB levels. This is in direct conflict with Selikoff’s study, and lends possible credibility to those who felt Selikoff’s reported blood deficiencies were not caused by PBB, but were actually the result of transit damage as the blood was taken from Michigan to his laboratory in New York. Hold your hat for this next one. A study will soon be reported showing low PBB levels may decrease susceptibility to breast cancer! So, am I convinced that PBB has done no health damage in Michigan? Of course not! At this point, the evidence is not conclusive either way. And that’s normal for such a complex scientific question. I do, as I have in the past, support further study.

Pete Benton takes a jumper from the baseline. strong performance by junior center Andy Joostberns of Valley. He scored 25 points and hauled down 24 rebounds. Teammates Doug Halsey and Mike Hamilton added 14 and 20 points respectively. Pete Benton, Jeff Zemke, and Ken Hansbarger also scored for the Lions. Central Montcalm won a thriller in the Lion gym Friday night. The hotly contested league game was a see-saw battle en­ ding in a 32-32 tie at the half. Maple Valley held a slim 45-44 lead at the end of the third quarter and were deadlocked with the Hornets with two seconds left on the clock. A perfect in-bounds pass by Brad Fritz to Rick Rasmussen gave Central the winning basket. Both teams scored 21 field goals but for the second time in a week the Lions were outscored at the free-throw line. Lion Andy Joostberns again led all the scorers with 28 points. Doug Halsey added 12. The Lions showed much im­ provement in Friday’s game and hope to get in the win column on Tuesday when they play host to Middleville. Basketball season begins for junior varsity squadThe basketball season began on a losing note for the Maple Valley Junior Varsity last week. Caledonia defeated the young lions 51-42 on Tuesday, and Central Montcalm won on Friday 62-49. The Lions led in both ball games only to have their leads erased late in both games. The scoring and rebounding was fairly even for the week with the top eight players of Brad Mateer, Tony Joostberns, Don Fox, Chris Beebe, Jeff Mead, Doug Cook, Vern Sargent and Brian Hamilton sharing in both of these areas. Even though the Junior Varsity was not satisfied with their games, they were very proud when report cards came out. The team has a B- average with five players on the honor roll. “When we study our basketball notebooks as well as our school books, we’ll be in great shape,” laughed Coach Ruohonen. This week Maple Valley plays Middleville at home on Tuesday, and travels to Lakeview on Friday. - (Maple Valley News Photo) The next Athletic Boosters meeting will be Wednesday, Dec. 17, at 8 p.m. at the high school.

The grant is intended to provide subsidized part-time employment for young people from low income families. The purposes of such employment is to provide improved job skills and to encourage youth to remain in school. The new YETP (Youth Em­ ployment Training Program) office will be located in the Masonic Temple building, 245 S. Cochran, Charlotte. The prime sponsor of the proposed grant is the Tri County Manpower Con­ sortium. “Our hopes are that we’ll gain the cooperation and support in the eight school districts, par­ ticularly in the area of counseling and coordinating, from school personnel. Help from the com­ munity at large for offering job placement for program par­ ticipants is also essential,” Craig Dean, YETP director, said. “Our intent is to teach par­ ticipants how to seek, obtain, maintain, and terminate em­ ployment successfully,” Dean said. These goals will be the responsibility of YETP staff, including Dean and two coor­ dinators (liaisons between schools, students, and on site supervisors), local counselors, interested teachers, and on the job supervisors. The participants need to meet CETA (Comprehensive Em­ ployment and Training Act) income guidelines and they have to stay in a school program in order to remain eligible. Students who qualify will be placed in a job serving a non­ profit agency. “We perceive our major drawbacks as having a larger number of youth in need of jobs than we can handle within the income guidelines and with the restriction of placement in public or nonprofit sector,” Dean said. “We couldn’t place a student interested in motor cycle repair with a local Honda dealer, for example.” Dean sees as many as 160 youth in Eaton County as benefiting from this Youth Employment Training Program. Although administered under the Eaton Intermediate School District the 160 youth will be drawn from all of Eaton County including! Eaton Rapids, Bellevue, Olivet, Charlotte, Maple Valley, Pot­ terville, Grand Ledge, and the Waverly Public Schools. Dimondale students will be served by the Ingham YETP office. NEED A GIFT, IDEA?

Nashville, Wednesday, December 7,1977 - Page 11 Summary of significant tax law changes for 1977 Some people like changes; others prefer things the way they are. But whatever side of the fence you’re on, one thing is certain: When you fill out your 1977 tax return, you won’t be able to avoid the many changes in the tax law that have come about through recent legislation. You have probably heard the standard deduction has been replaced by a zero bracket amount which is a flat $2,200 for singles and $3,200 for married: filing jointly. And there has been quite a bit of publicity about the new tax tables with the zero bracket amount, personal exemptions, and general tax credit built right in. These changes effect most taxpayers, but don’t require you to plan ahead. Because some of the new provisions do, however, demand pre-planning, it makes sense to start gathering your records together and examining the tax consequences of some of your actions. For instance, if you own a capital asset, such as stock, bonds or real property that you intend to sell this year, are you aware that in order to qualify for long term capital gain or loss treatment, you must have owned that asset for more than nine months? The holding period in prior years was more than six months. Do you also know the amount of a capital loss you can use to offset your taxable income has in­ creased from $1,000 to $2,000? Both of these changes can make a significant difference in your tax bill for 1977. Suppose, for example, that you never heard of the new nine month holding period, and you dispose of a capital asset after seven months, thinking that you will have to pay tax on only one-half of your profit. When you fill out your 1977 tax return you might be surprised at the amount of tax you owe. If you have moved, or plan a move, in 1977, you will find several changes in the tax law. The distance requirement of 50 miles has been changed to 35 miles. In' addition, the maximum deduction for pre-move househunting and temporary living expenses has gone up from $1,000 to $1,500 and the deduction for expenses related to buying, selling, or renting a home in­ creased by $500, it is now $3,000. Older Americans who sell their homes in 1977 will be glad to learn that there has been a sizeable change in the tax break available to them. Previously, anyone age 65 or over who sold his or her home did not have to pay any tax on the gain if the adjusted sales price of the house was $20,000 or less. The exclusion amount has now been increased so that you pay no tax on the gain from the sale if the adjusted sales price is $35,000 or less. If the adjusted sales price is over $35,000, the tax break is prorated. Remember, the adjusted sales price of your home is the amount you receive after paying selling commissions and certain allowable fixing-up expenses, such as painting part of the in­ terior of your home. Here’s something else new fcfr 1977! If you are a worker under the age of 70Vz and do not par­ ticipate in any other pension or annuity plan during the year, you may for the first time, include your non-working spouse in your Individual Retirement Arrangement (IRA). If you establish an IRA for you and your non-working spouse, you may contribute a total of 15 percent of your compensation, to a top limit of $1,750. And for 1977, you have an ad­ ditional 45 days from the end of the tax year (until February 14, 1978) in which to make your contribution and still deduct it on your tax return. The advantage of an IRA, of course, is that contributions are not taxed until they are withdrawn at which time the individual would normally be in a lower tax bracket. Other changes that could mean a difference in your tax liability are in the areas of alimony, child support, and child care expenses. Alimony, previously an itemized deduction, is now an adjustment to income, which means that anyone can claim on his or her tax return the amount of alimony paid during the year. If you make child support payments to a former spouse, you may have to pay more money now in order to claim your children as dependents on your tax return. In prior years, if the tax exemptions were not allocated in the divorce decree, and you were the noncustodial parent, you had to contribute $1,200 or more for the support of one or more children in order to take the dependency exemptions. That amount has now increased to |l,200 for each child. Expenses you pay for workrelated child care may now be claimed as a tax credit. The credit is 20 percent of the amount you pay during the year for child care. The maximum amount of the credit allowed is $400 for one child and $800 for two or more children. It’s obvious there are changes in store for many Americans when they prepare their 1977 federal tax returns. To get a head start on your taxes, contact the IRS for free publications on areas that will affect your taxes. You may order the publications by filling out the order form that is enclosed in the tax package you receive, or by contacting your local IRS office.

(Maple Volley News Photo) The Nashville Village Council approved the hiring of Arthur Long as a third officer on the Nashville Police Department. He is being hired through the CETA program. Long has been working part time since December 8 and will continue to do so until January when he will take eight weeks of training near Detroit and then return for full-time duty. Long retired from the Navy on September 30 after 20 years of active duty, the last seven as a member of the Military Police. He served in such places as Puerto Rico, Viet Nam, New York, West Virginia, Philadelphia, and on several ships: the U.S.S. Valcour, U.S.S. Boxer, U.S.S. Sperry, and the U.S.S. Rich. He saved 45 persons’ lives and was awarded several medals. He earned the Navy-Marine Corps Medal for heroism when he rescued 41 people-from a Navy fire. He was awarded the Navy Life-Saving Medal for rescuing a man who fell overboard. Long also received Navy Expert Rifleman, Navy Good Conduct Medal, Viet Nam Campaign ribbons, the Navy Unit Citation, and achievement letters for outstanding performance of duty. Arthur is originally from Jackson, Michigan, where his parents still reside. He is married to the former Patricia Long, and they have one daughter, Joy, 8 months. They presently live at Wall Lake Road, southeast of Hastings but plan to move to Nashville in the near future. Asked why he decided to get into police work in civilian life, Long said, “I enjoy working with people and I talked it over with my wife and she said that if I was interested in the work she’d help me along.” Over 500 entries for ‘coloring contest’— The winners of the Maple Valley Coloring Contest have been announced from over 500 contest entries.

Nashville. Wednesday December 13, 1977 -- Page 10 A weekly report from— Ernest Nash State Representative SBT ACCORD - After long negotiations, the legislature has passed SB 734, which will provide up to $72 million in Single Business Tax relief for small and low-profit businesses, using a formula based on dividing total income by a firm’s total tax base. MEMORIAL DAY - The House has narrowly approved HB 4243, which would change Memorial Day in Michigan back to May 30 from the last Monday in May. A similar bill passed the House last session but was not acted upon in the Senate. UN-RETIREMENT PLAN Now before the full House is HB 5393, which would prohibit companies from forcing their employees to retire because of age. While this would permit over-65’s to work, it might also make fewer jobs available to new, young workers. UNEMPLOYMENT STAN­ DOFF - The House will soon vote on SB 714, which would bring Michigan law on unemployment compensation into line with federal law in order to preserve federal benefits for the state. The bill was delayed for three months because one group wanted to include $60 million in benefits for nonprofessional school em­ ployees while another wanted to limit benefits for those who voluntarily quit their jobs; both groups agreed to drop their demands. MINIMUM WAGE - Now in the Senate is HB 5642, which would increase the state minimum wage to $3.35 an hour by 1981, the same as the federal minimum wage will be. The minimum wage is now $2.30; it would go to $2.65 next year, $2.90 in 1979, $3.10 in 1980 and then $3.35 in 1981. DRUNK DRIVING - The House has approved HB 5383, which would boost fines for driving under the influence of alcohol to a maximum of $500, now $100, and for driving while impaired by alcohol to a maximum of $250, now also $100. It is hoped this will help discourage drunk driving. FRAUD HOTLINE The Department of Social Services now has a toll-free number which can be called to report com­ plaints of fraud by physicians, laboratories, nursing homes and other Mediciad providers The number, 1-800-292-5404, can be called Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CAT BILL - Now in the House is SB 1189, which would remove house cats from the year-round open-season provisions of the hunting law. However, cats could still be taken or killed on or near someone’s property if they have damaged or are liable to damage the property. METRIC SALES - The Senate has approved SB 169, which would allow the use of metric weights and measures at the option of the seller in Michigan. This comes as more and more items are being offered for sale in metric containers.

Meat thermometers insure that roasts prepared throughout the year will always be prepared just to the desired doneness. Several types are currently on the market, some of which can be used in microwave ovens. Check your local appliance store or kitchen center for a good selection. You won’t be disappointed you did when you enjoy delicious roast beef at the next dinner. Have someone on your list who has everything? You can solve that problem simply and in satisfactory fashion with something that they probably don’t have—America’s first metric beef cookbook. This colorfully illustrated 128-page book provides a pleasant introduction to the metric system which will soon be a part of everyday life. The 101 recipes are provided in the customary measure as well as the new metric measure. The recipes can be used now with the familiar system. Then when the big metric changeover comes, the cook will be all set to operate with grams and milliliters instead of pounds and pints. You can obtain a copy of the American Metric Beef Cookbook by sending your check or money order for $2.50 to the Michigan Beef Industry Commission, 805 Stoddard Building, Lansing, MI. 48933. While you are about it, you may as well order one for yourself.

According to Retha Hankey, director of Home Economics for the Michigan Beef Industry Commission, “Even the most discriminating shopper can find the trip to the meat counter a cause for confusion, frustration and sometimes irritat,ion.** If you shop for, prepare and eat meat, this book is for you. It is the most authoritative book ever published about meat. It is not a recipe book—but an encyclopedic reference which every consumer should have. This book is available in local bookstores and is distributed by McGraw-Hill Publishing Co. If it is unavailable in your local bookstore, it can be ordered through the Michigan Beef Industry Commission at $4.95 for soft cover and $9.95 for hard cover. Another good Christmas idea would be a lovely carving set for those beautiful beef roasts at the family dining table or for when the scene changes to the backyard barbecue and you just pulled that rolled roast from the rotisserie. Local department stores and kitchen suppliers carry a variety of carving equipment. There are many Christmas ideas related to that all­ American favorite—beef.

Fam prices on the increase in Michigan MICHIGAN: The Index of Prices Received by Michigan farmers raised 3 points (2 per­ cent) during the month ending November 15,1977. This increase puts the index at 187 percent of the 1967 base, according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Ser­ vice. Field crops, except potatoes and hay, generally increased while livestock and livestock product prices were mixed. The mid-November index at 187 is 9 points above mid-November 1976. Higher prices for meat animals, cash field crops, fruit and vegetables more than offset the declines in poultry and eggs and feed grains and hay. Fruit led the increase from a year ago with a 29-point rise in the index. The cash field crops index at 213 followed with a 22-point rise while meat animals, with a 21-point increase to 176, and vegetables, with an 11-point rise to 158, made up the increases. Poultry and eggs decreased 28 points to 154 and feed grains and hay declined 13 points to 170. Dairy products held constant with a year ago. HOLIDAY* Money SAVERS G.A.F.

Nashville, Wednesday December 21, 1977 - Page 2 Dreams come true for Sam Sessions EDITORS NOTE: The following was an article written in 1969 by the Valvoline Oil Company following Sam Sessions* first race in the Indy 500 in 1968. Sam Sessions can’t remember when he didn’t want to race. Nor, for that matter, can he remember when he didn’t dream of driving in the Indianapolis “500.” He does recollect, though, pretending to be at Indianapolis while piloting his first tricycle. Sam is luckier than some men, because his dream came true. It was May a year ago, and a 49-year-old grandfather named Chuck Stevenson decided - the company he was keeping was too fast. Ending a successful driving career that spanned 21 years, he stepped out of the Valvoline Special in which he had tried for days to get up sufficient speed to qualify for a “500” starting berth. The car’s owner, Tassi Vatis, and chief mechanic Bill Finley were left without a chauffeur.

The following towns and cities were represented: Vermontville, Nashville, Marshall, Bay City, Battle Creek, Charlotte, Lake O’Dessa, Portland. Approximately 125 were present. * . IN APPRECIATION I would like to thank the V.F.W. and especially the Women’s Aux. from Nashville, all members and friends who supported and at­ tended the dance in my behalf. Words cannot express my ap­ preciation. David Wells driven for the past three seasons, and from fellow driver Bobby Unser. “A lot of people have helped me,” Sessions says. “But Rufus Gray gave me my first big break in USAC racing, and Bobby Unser gave me some good tips about running the dirt tracks.” When you can climb into an unfamiliar car as Sessions did last year at Indy, and wheel it to ninth place while competing against some of the world’s finest drivers, greater achievements shouldn’t be far off. A number of people are betting bigger things are ahead -­ Sessions himself for one, of course, and then there are Tassi Vatis, owner of the Valvoline Special; Bill Finley, his chief mechanic; Sessions’ wife, Betty, and their 13-year-old son Jerry and daughter Ginger, 11. Sessions tends to get ecstatic when he talks about the new wedge-shaped Valvoline Special Finley has prepared for him. The car’s turbocharged Offenhauser engine -- the kind that powered last year’s winning car - is putting out something like 675 horsepower, and Sessions an­ ticipates no problem achieving the 168 or 170 miles an hour that will probably be needed to comfortably make the starting lineup. Following the “500” on Memorial Day, Sessions will campaign the Valvoline Special on the USAC championship circuit. His strategy will be the same in every rate: “We’re going to stand on it and go fast.” �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Wednesday December 21, 1977 — Page 3 Views from the line fence Weed control, our main problem next to drainage HEATING HELP—One of the legislature’s prime concerns last week before the holiday recess was final approval of HB 4371, to help senior and low-income citizens pay winter heating bills. A compromise was necessary between House and Senate versions. COURT RULING—The Michigan Supreme Court has refused to issue an opinion on the constitutionality of a bill limiting departmental rule-making power, on which the Governor’s veto was overridden. The Court said it would consider future specific cases. PORNOGRAPHY BILLS— Now before the full Senate are HB 4332 and 4965, which would prohibit the production of sexually explicit material using minors, and prohibit the distribution of obscene materials to minors. They are expected to pass early next year. URBAN GRANTS—The House last week reversed an earlier defeat and narrowly approved HB 4855, which would give $12 million to 16 Michigan cities which collect an income tax. The money has already been ap­ propriated; this bill authorizes it to be spent. Opposition to the bill centered on the fact that twothirds of the money would go to the city of Detroit. SUMMER JOBS—It’s not too early to start thinking about a summer or seasonal job in our national forests in Michigan and other states. For application forms, write the Forest Super­ visor’s office, Huron-Manistee National Forest, 421 South Mitchell, Cadillac 49601. RACIAL STEERING—House Bill 4845, which would define and prohibit racial steering in the real estate business, was recently approved by a bare majority in the House, but HB 4846, which would allow suspension of revocation of a broker’s license for the practice, was twice defeated. Such “steering” is encouraging or discouraging buying property, based on race. TAX EXEMPTION—The House recently approved HB 5641, which “ gives a use tax exemption to hearing aids, eyeglasses and orthopedic devices like neck braces and walkers,_when they they are prescribed for persons 60 years of age and older. MORAL CHARACTER—A large item of business facing the House in the last week of session was a group of some 40 bills which define “good moral character” with respect to a given profession. The Attorney General had ruled these specifics were necessary for licensure actions. WISHING YOU AND YOURS A VERY SAFE AND VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON! by Warren J. Cook, County Extension Director Historically, the greatest deterrent to good crop yields in Eaton County has been poor drainage. It still is number one. But right next to drainage is poor weed control and never has it been more evident than in 1977. Ray Firebaugh, who farms many acres southeast of Charlotte, most of it rented, told me that his corn yields this year were consistently in the 100 bushel per acre range except for those spots where he didn’t get control of the quackgrass early in the season. The same was true for Lyle and Chris Stover, who crop about 1300 acres in the West Windsor area. Their problem was a couple of fields where the pre-emergence herbicide failed on their beans and they had a problem with fall grasses. Larry Bishop of the Grand Ledge area had a bad problem with velvet leaf right after one of his com fields was planted. He got control by a second ap­ plication of a broadleaf herbicide but it cost him an estimated 10 bushel of com per acre in ad­ dition to the cost of the herbicide and applying it These are but a few of the general problems we saw this year but it points out the problem of a continuous fight against weeds. One of the best ways to control the weed problem is to start at this time of the year. There are a few cardinal rules to follow in planning the attack now. 1) Know what weeds are most liable to infest each field to be cropped, < 2) Determine which com- bination of weed killers will work most consistently with your cropping practices. 3) Be specific - don’t use a shotgun mixture just because it’s traditional or your neighbor does. 4) Check over and repair your spraying equipment this winter, so you can accurately apply herbicide next spring. 5) Have a cultivator around and ready for emergencies. Following these rules will help in gaining better control, the rest is up to you and the weatherman. After all, on the optismistic side remember, it takes good land to grow good weeds! — NOTICE — Nashville Village Hall will be closed Christmas Eve, December 24, 1977 and New Year’s Eve December 31,1977.

Mary Heacock presents a Christmas gift to the volunteer driver Dick Burd for all the work and help he has provided for the Senior Citizens since the Commission on Aging Program started in Nashville. All the volunteers received gifts of appreciation. The legend of St WinfredA legend about St. Winfred, who was a missionary to the Scandinavians in the 8th centruy, explains the origin of the Christmas tree. It seems that St. Winfred was cutting down a large oak tree, when suddenly a young fir tree sprang up in its place. The missionary declared this miraculous tree to be holy and gave it to the Scandinavians to commemorate the birth of the Saviour. NEED A GIFT IDEA?

The seniors will leave by chartered bus on Thursday, May 25, for Florida, and the cruise will begin from Miami on Friday, May 26. The cruise will return to Miami on Monday, May 29, and the seniors will arrive back home on Tuesday, May 30. The cost per student is approximately $288, which may vary depending upon the number going on the trip. Mrs. Lucy Martin and Mr. Russell Koons are the class advisors. The board members voted to purchase a %-ton pickup with a snow blade from Fowler’s, Inc. at a cost of $6,810.55. The pickup will be used in the general tran­ sportation program when it is necessary to check roads and also for snow removal at the bus garage and school sites. Approval was given the dismissal of kindergarten classes the morning of January 19 enabling the kindergarten teachers an opportunity to meet with some parents regarding general student progress. The afternoon sessions of kindergarten will be in session on January 19. The first semester will end on Friday, Jan. 20; and school will not be in session for any students on January 20.

The coaches in The Garden Corner— Answers to Christmas questions! Michigan. State University Extension specialists answer timetly questions on horticultural topics. Q. What are frankincense and myrrh? A. Frankincense has been valued for thousands of years as an ingredient in incense, perfumes and fumigating powders. It is a yellow resin extracted from a woody shrub or small tree found in Africa and Asia. Myrrh is also a resin. It has been used for centuries in making incense, salves, medicines, perfumes, disinfectants and embalming mixtures. During biblical times it was considered as valuable as gold. Q. How do I roast chestnuts? A. Begin by slashing each one across the flat side with a sharp knife. Spread the chestnuts in a shallow pan, sprinkle with a quarter cup of water and bake in a hot oven (450 degrees F) for 15 minutes or until the shells split open. Peel with a sharp knife while they are still warm, removing the bitter brown inner skin as well as the shell. Q. What is the best way to store fresh nuts? A. Nuts keep best in their shells. The shells protect them against light, heat/ moisture and ex­ posure to air, all of which cause nutmeats to turn rancid. Shelled nuts should be stored in moisture­ vaporproof containers in the refrigerator or freezer. Nuts in the shell may be stored at room temperature but will keep longer - up to two years - in the freezer. Q. I grew pumpkins for the first time this year and lost a lot of them because they rotted on the vine after the first frost. Did I do something wrong? A. It’s usually advised to harvest mature pumpkins' before frost Frost damages the hard rind, opening the way for decay organisms. Compare what happened to your pumpkins with the rapid deterioration of a carved jack o’ lantern. It doesn’t last long after it’s cut, especially if the weather turns wet and mild, as it did this year in parts of Michigan. If you grow pumpkins again next year, harvest mature ones after the beginning of cool weather but before frost The rind should be hard and of a good orange color. Q. My son saved the seeds from his Halloween pumpkin so he can plant them next year. What’s likely to happen? is he going to be disappointed? A. Not disappointed, probably, but maybe surprised. The pumpkins grown for jack o’ lanterns, like so many other improved vegetable varieties, are hybrids. They are produced by crossing two or more varieties to get a certain combination of desirable characteristics. If planted, the seeds from the fruits of these hybrid plants should grow into vines that will, in turn, produce fruits, but these fruits may be quite different from the ones from which the seeds were taken. Many of the desired characteristics achieved by the original cross may be lost. This is why MSU horticulturists usually advise against saving your own seed. As a gardening project for fun, however, saving and planting seeds of hybrid crosses can be quite exciting. You literally don’t know what’s going to come up! the various sports have an op­ portunity to present their budgets at the athletic council meeting. General expenditures include the purchase of new girls’ softball uniforms, two new jumping pits for track, six new girls’ track uniforms, four new baseball uniforms, and costs for general supplies and officials. The school district is obtaining quotations on the cost of a new speaker sound system for the Fuller Street athletic field. A short discussion was held relative to possible locations that might be considered regarding a weight machine which will be purchased by the athletic boosters. No action was taken at this time, and some of these sites will be evaluated further before the January board meeting. General fund bills in the amount of $32,406.66 were ap­ proved for payment. The November 18 payroll in the amount of $73,248.04 and the December 2 payroll in the amount of $70,912.30 were ap­ proved for payment and tran­ sferred to the payroll account.

Clover Clippings By Jan Firrell 4—H Program Assistant To help anyone realize his or her full potential you must challenge them, capitalize on their idealism and let them attempt challenging, demanding activities. 4-H offers the perfect avenue for members and leaders alike to reach their full potential. Through projects and related activities they can develop their abilities while accomplishing worthwhile goals and contributing to their communities. The real purpose of a member program is not an award or what may be accomplished for 4-H. The purpose is to help that 4-H member (or leader, for that matter) grow and mature. In designing a program for any individual one needs to stop and determine if that program reflects a sincere concern of the member(s) involved. Does the program allow the member(s) to mature while fulfilling that concern? Is the program an ef­ fective, creative way to develop maturity? And finally, does it provide a big enough challenge? Any Anysubject subjectarea areaaa4-H 4-Hmember member is interested in can serve as a base for a 4-H program or project area. Listen to what the major concerns are and challenge them to change those situations. The only limits are your own and your 4-H members creativity, courage and willingness to try new roads to answering their own questions. 4-H offers an innovative, exciting and challenging program for youth and adults.

The legend of the Christmas AngelThere is a beautiful legend about how Mary, the mother of Jesus, chooses children each Christmas to sing carols for the Holy Babe. very first 'Poinsetta'— Have you ever seen a poin­ settia? It’s a beautiful, red flower with a yellow center, that people like to decorate with at Christ­ mastime. There is a lovely legend about how the poinsettia came to be and it begins in Mexico, a country that is just south of the United States. There was a young boy who was very sad one Christmas Eve. You see, in his little town it was the custom to offer gifts to the Christ Child. People would come to the church on Christmas Eve and place their gifts upon the altar. But Manuelito, as we shall call him, was very poor. He had no gift to bring before the Infant Jesus. Jesus. Too shy to go inside the church without a gift, he knelt outside a window and began to pray. We don’t know what Manuelito said, but perhaps he was telling the Holy Infant how sorry he was that he did not have a gift to offer. For that is what prayer is, you know; talking to God. As he rose to his feet, he noticed a beautiful red flower growing in the very spot where he had knelt. Amazed, he bent down to examine the flower. He had never seen one like it before. Suddenly he realized that this lovely flower was a gift from heaven, an answer to his prayer! Joyfully, Manuelito plucked the flower and carried it inside, to lay before the altar. And that is why the poinsettia is known as “The Flower of the Holy Night” in Mexico. As hope is rekindled in hearts everywhere, may you and yours enjoy a happy holiday season.

She is in Room 508 in Manatee Memorial Hospital 33503. The Woman’s Club held one of their most outstanding meetings Monday, Dec. 5, when Mrs. Cleone Miller of Battle Creek exhibited her exquisite eggshell creations and jewelry. She uses eggs from many different fowl, even ostrich eggs from Africa that cost $15 a piece.

Your reporter was among the group who went with Greta Firster to the Christmas Show of the Grand ’Ole Opry last weekend. We stayed at the Tudor Inn in Nashville, Tennessee and had tickets for the first show at 6 p.m. Mrs. Firster had to buy tickets a year in advance, so we were surprised to see sections of empty seats. Some of the stars in the 3-hour show were Del Reeves, Skeeter Davis, Bill Monroe, Porter Waggoner, Stu Phillips, Roy Acuff, Loretta Lynn, Hank Snow and Jim and Jesse. Other enjoyable features of the trip included a guided tour of Nash­ ville past homes of the “stars”, a visit to the Upper Room and a bountiful smorgasbord luncheon at Hendersonville. The Yule LegThe Persians gave the Yule log its name. It was the custom in Persia to cut down a tree and cut a section from its trunk. The section was round, and marked off into four • segments representing the four seasons of the year. This “Calendar” was turned like a wheel and was called a Yole. The log from which it was cut was known as the Yole log. With every season, the wheel was turned and a great fire kindled. The Yole log was placed in this fire, as the people prayed for good fortune during the coming season. With snow falling over the Thanksgiving weekend, followed by warmer temperatures the following week, field work across Michigan was virtually halted, according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. Only 1 to 2 days were considered suitable for field work for the two-week period ending December 3. Fields generally were too wet to plow or harvest. Farm activity was limited to feeding livestock, cleaning barns and lots, storing machinery for the winter and spreading manure on welldrained fields. In some places, harvesting was attempted but even track vehicles were being bogged down in the mud. Nor­ thern counties are snow covered, but the ground underneath, in many places, is not frozen. To sum up,'field conditions in the southern half of the State, a Huron County respondent stated, “Rain and warm weather removed the snow during mid­ week—fields are a sea of mud.” CORN: With poor field con­ ditions, the picking of com was virtually halted. Statewide only 80 percent of the com is in the crib. Harvest progress is the slowest in the “Thumb” where only two-thirds of the crop is combined. Last year Michigan’s com crop was generally har­ vested by Thanksgiving. Far­ mers are waiting for a hard freeze so they can resume har­ vesting. While they wait, reports of lodging and deterioration are numerous. SOYBEANS AND DRY BEANS: The 1977 soybean haryest is coming to a wet and incomplete finish. Over the past 5 years all of the soybeans have been combined by Thanksgiving, but the rain and melting snow have left the fields impossible to harvest. Approximately 85 percent of the soybeans are harvested. This is a 5-percent improvement over the last two weeks. A grower from St. Clair County stated, “Some soybeans not harvested are moldy due to the wet weather.” A hard freeze is' needed to firm up soils so combining can be completed. Dry beans harvest made no progress during the last two weeks and only 90 percent is harvested. It was the same story as with the soybeans where a report from Huron County reiterates, “Dry beans still in the field are not worth harvesting MKMK due to culling.” In previous years all the dry beans have been combined by mid-October. It appears the remaining acreage will be abandoned. FALL PLOWING AND PASTURE: With snow in the air and on the ground, fall plowing is through in the northern areas of the State. In the Southern counties it was too wet to plow and very little plowing is ex­ pected to be done before next spring. On a statewide basis the acreage intended for spring planted crops now plowed is 30 percent. Pasturing for the year is over. Reflecting back'on a'statewide average, pastures this fall have been in the best shape in recent memory. Farmers are now having to rely mainly on hay, silage and grain to feed their herds.

Budget matters have all been settled before summer ad­ journment. And, legislative bodies, like families, fight the bloodiest battles over dollars. Of course, there were, as always, some hot issues this fall. Single Business Tax amend­ ments, birth control information in schools, the transportation package, and various and sundry other items provided sufficient matter for debate to keep us occupied—but not as intensely as during the regular session. The slower fall session pace is enjoyable and provides time for exploration of new ideas. Two spare-time activities have led me to an interest in a new area. A friend lent me a book, en­ titled Small is Beautiful, which I read with interest. Essentially, the point made in this book was that we would be better off if we returned to an economic and political system based on smaller units of production and decision. I enjoyed the book and, with a few reservations, found its thesis interesting and sound. Big business and big government, while providing some economies of scale, have many dehumanizing characteristics. A somewhat slower schedule also allowed me to participate in a Governors’ Conference on Wood Energy. This was one of a number of conferences held during November, which had been declared “Energy Month”, that focused on energy problems and solutions. It appears possible that bur­ ning wood has the potential to supply most of the electricity needed for nearly all of Michigan’s outstate com­ munities. A good deal of wood now goes to waste in the process of lumber production, city treetrimming, and especially, natural death and rotting of Let that love, that beauty, which was the message to the shepherds, be thine today: Unto thee is l?orn, yea unto thee each one =■ is offered a knowledge and understanding of the life of the Christ, that will renew thy life, thy purpose if ye will but Love One Another".

It appears that wood, on a fairly small scale, and combined with scattered generating plants, can compete favorably at present prices with coal or oil for elec­ trical production. Two benefits are immediately obvious: • A plant in each community would provide local employment, both in the plant and in the wood collection and handling. This represents a decided benefit, compared to buying electricity from a huge plant located many miles away. • But the major benefit has to be this—wood is a renewable resource, while coal and oil are not. Living off a fossil fuel is like living off saved capital rather than income. Neither a family nor a society can live forever off capital. Eventually it runs out. Wood was an important fuel before the fossil fuels were developed, and it may become one again after they run out. The city of St. Louis, Michigan, is exploring the possibility of a wood-burning plant. This can be an important development in Michigan and deserves en­ couragement. For action Want-Ads!

December 28,1977 Hundreds mourn the death ofrace car driver Sammy Sessions last week in Hastings— Last Wednesday tribute was paid to one of the biggest personalities ever produced from Barry County, as hundreds of friends, relatives, and racing fans turned out for the funeral of Sammy Sessions at the First Presbyterian Church in Hastings. Besides a jam-packed church parking lot, one street an entire city block long was filled with four vehicles parked abreast. Even with all his fame and fortune in professional racing circles, Sammy never forgot his friends and neighbors throughout the county. Following the large gathering that mourned his death in the recent snowmobile accident, it is obvious they have not forgotten him. Although he is no longer with us, Sammy will always be remembered by all who knew him. Sammy is carried from the church following the funeral. �The Maple Valley New*. Nashville. Wednesday. December 26.1977 - Page 2 Nashville, site for senior citizens program Our Nashville group is really progressing well now. Every week we are expanding; forming new friendships, renewing old ones, and sharing mutual con­ cerns. We held our regular monthly business session the first part of the month, resolving several matters. Marcella Stewart has donated an afghan to group to raffle sometime in February, possibly around Valentine’s Day, depending upon how rapidly the tickets sell. Our January Birthday Party will honor Mesdames Caroline Jones, Bertha Becker, Thelma Stewart and Marie Pennock, and Mr. Austin Schantz. We are lucky that we have missed only one noon meeting; that on Dec. 9, due to the snowstorm. The highlight of Dec. was our Christmas Party held on the evening of the 15th. Our party was planned and executed solely by our Nashville people (in­ dependent of any other group), right down to the very last details including decorations, all food furnished for the planned pot­ luck, gift exchange and program. Excitement and anticipation mounted as we began arriving with bountifully laden food baskets; the ladies clad in lovely gowns, the gentlemen in dress suits. Pre-dinner music was provided by Feme at the piano, a medley of Christmas songs. Then ap­ proximately sixty partook of the feast, served buffet style, sitting at tables decorated with cen­ terpieces holding a red candle, which were created and donated by Edna Edwards. The Misses Chris Shupp,' Diane Lovejoy and Kelley Heacock assisted with serving some of the members unable to walk the distance required to traverse the serving tables, and they graciously served the punch and coffee. At our invitation, a dozen students from the Maple Valley School music department shared our repast, and they, as a mixed chorus, under the direction of Mrs. Reinbold, favored us with several exceptionally wellrendered vocal selections ap­ propriate to the Holiday Season. Also, Mrs. Westbay sang several solos, accompanying herself on the guitar. Such an enjoyable program. Then Santa came with can­ dycanes for everyone, and distributed the gifts from around the natural pine Christmas tree. Mary Heacock, site Supervisor, presented gifts to all her loyal volunteer workers; the group remembered her, and our bus driver, Dick Burd, with a gift. We all went home with pleasant thoughts that will linger long after Christmas 1977 has gone. Enjoy your New Years with laughter and song in the company of family and friends. We enjoy your company anytime and we hope that you will do 25th Wedding Anniversary open house planned business with us again next year. In honor of the 25th Wedding Anniversary of Lewis and Waneta Sherman, their daughter and son-in-law cordially invite you to an Open House, January 6, 1978, from 7-9 p.'m. at the VFW Hall, 304 S.

Nashville Wednesday December 28 1977 - Poge 4 Michigan Potato production and stocks up ‘77— MICHIGAN: The 1977 fall potato crop is estimated at 8.800,000 hundredweight (cwt ), according to the Michigan Crop Reporting Service. This is an increase of almost 6 percent over last year's crop of 8,330.000 cwt and 32 percent over the 1975 crop Harvested acreage, at 32,000 acres, is 2,000 acres below the 34.000 acres dug in 1976. The average yield at 275 cwt. is up 30 cwt. per acre from last fall to an all-time record high December 1,1977 potato stocks totaled 5.600,000 cwt., up from last December's total of 5,200,000 cwt. Disappearance of potatoes from harvest time to December 1 totaled 3,200,000 cwt., down 4 percent from the same period in 1976. The December 1 holdings by farmers, shippers, and processors accounted for 64 percent of the fall production. Many tubers were left in saturated fields for an extended period of time and suffered deterioration. A frost during this period also increased damage. Grading losses are expected to be higher than normal this season. Planting of the fall potato crop progressed normally this year compared to last year’s delayed planting due to cold, wet weather in May. Light rainfall in June and July caused growers to make full use of irrigation equipment. Rains in late July and August were very helpful to crop growth and very little damage was done by the earlier dry weather. Harvest' weather was very poor due to extremely wet fields.

MAIN Ph:852-9747 �ECONOMY RISING — As we move into 1978, recent indicators say that Michigan’s economy is doing better than the nation as a whole. During the fiscal year just ended, our employment grew by 160,000 or 4.3 percent, while unemployment declined by 98,000 or 30 percent; national rates were 3.8 percent and 9.1 percent. Also, personal income in Michigan increased by 12.5 percent com­ pared to 10.8 percent nationally.

Wednesday, December 28,1977 - Page 9 Caution, holiday drinking can be dangerousIf those tablets that go “Plop, Plop, Fizz Fizz” are needed to bring relief the morning after holiday drinking, Automobile Club of Michigan cautions that you should not have been driving the night before. Recognizing that 80 percent of Michigan's motorists will drink over the Christmas-New Year’s holidays, Auto Club is giving this advice for party goers through its “First A Friend, Then A Host” program—GO by bus, taxi or let a sober friend do the driving. “Last year, alcohol was a factor in 62 percent of Michigan’s traffic fatalities during the Christmas-New Year’s holidays,” states James Moffat, Auto Club general manager.. “Through our ‘First A Friend, Then A Host’ program conducted each Christmas-New Year’s season, we want to remind party hosts that they have an obligation to help ‘Bring ’em Back Alive!’ ” The FAFTAH program, established in 1966, reminds party hosts not to put guests in a position where they must drive home after being served too many alcoholic beverages. “Since Auto Club began its FAFTAH program, the death toll over the Christmas-New Year’s holidays has been cut from a daily average of 10 in 1965 to less than four last year,” stated Moffat. “Although the best advice for reducing traffic deaths is for holiday celebrants not to mix drinking and driving, we realize the -impracticality of such a goal,” said Moffat. “We recommend that motorists drink no more than one ounce of alcohol per hour.” . Auto Club reminds party hosts they can help guests get home safely by following these tips: • If offering drinks, serve snacks or a meal to slow the alcohol absorption rate. • Taper off drinks early and serve coffee and dessert. • Coffee, tea, milk and other non-alcoholic beverages have no sobering effect, but they can be used as substitutes for alcohol when the hour grows late. An Auto Club analysis shows the most likely candidates for fatal traffic accidents this holiday are drivers 26 years old or younger returning home in darkness after drinking. Forty-one percent of the drivers involved in the 17 traffic deaths last Christmas holiday were in that age group. Over the New Year’s holiday—when 13 persons were killed—54 percent of the drivers were aged 26 or younger even though that age group makes up only 26 percent of the Michigan driving population. Darkness was another common factor, with 62 percent of the fatal accidents occurring at night over Christmas and 82 percent over New Year’s. Eighty-five percent of the drivers were less than 25 miles from home during the two holiday periods. In all, about 3.4 million cars will travel an estimated 660 million miles in Michigan over the 78-hour Christmas and New Year’s holidays, which is equal to mileage driven over summer holiday weekends. The Christmas holiday begins at 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 23, and concludes at midnight Monday, Dec. 26, while New Year’s starts at 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 30, and runs through midnight Monday, Jan. 2.

Maple Valley News Editorial MAPLE SYRUP THIS WEEKEND rrnpntvllle,' Michigan This week, we have published a special edition of The Maple Valley News, commemorating the 1976 Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival. The issue is being circulated to several nearby communities, in addition to our normal coverage area, and will be sold at the festival on Saturday. By doing this, we hope to inform those who are not our regular readers about the events, history and activities surroun­ ding the weekend. This is the first time we have published The Maple Valley News during festival time, however, we have covered the festival for many years with Hie Reminder. A number of stories and feature articles have been included here from our past year’s work with The Maple Valley News. Some are historic, some involve the people of the area and all help to shed more light on Maple Valley and the weekend’s events. Our paper is the only newspaper that continually serves the VermontvilleNashville community and, in the “valley”, will be the official publication for the festival weekend.

Forced early to be self-reliant, to depend for survival on their skills and ingenuity, the colonists and pioneers learned to use the resources of their new country. Lumber from the endless woods built homes and cities, rivers supplied power for ships, fish and game were plentiful. They planted the vegetables and grains they brought with them and learned from the Indians to grow corn, tobacco, and a variety of fruits and vegetables new to them. The settlers could find deposits of salt, but sugar was in short supply. The Indians showed them how to make sugar from the trees that grew all around them. Since those early days, plan­ ting and harvesting techniques have improved. We have domesticated beef and poultry for milk and meat and eggs. But tapping the maple trees for the dark, sweet syrup and sugar is done today much the same way it has been done for hundreds of years. Going from Reinhart Zemke’s modern farm home and barns a mile through the fields to the sugar shack is like riding back into the past. The pickup truck or the big John Deere tractor leaves, you off, and you are standing in the woods as you could have a hundred years ago. The steam from the boiling sap rises softly through the bare branches of the trees and is cut across by the white slash of a jet stream. Only then are you aware that time has not gone backward but that a very old process is continuing in the present. “A group of people from Vermont came ‘out west’ 150 years ago,” says Reinhart Zemke, “and settled the heavy ground and beech and maple woods, fashioning a town and calling it Vermontville. The Congregational minister came first to establish the groundwork and lay out the town, and the settlers followed him soon after. The Congregational Church and school they built were the back­ bone of the community and haven’t changed much since those early days. “They brought with them their skill of making syrup and sugar from the native sugar-maple trees, and each spring made enough sugar for their own use the rest of the year. “Hard times came in the late 50's and during the Second World War. sugar was again in short supply. The art of making maple syrup and sugar was revived on a commercial basis and has been continued each spring since that time. “The Zemke’s came here from Germany. My dad and uncle came in the late 1800’s. There Dan Cook (son in law) gathering the sap throughout the woods. were ten in the family, and my grandparents and all but two of the children followed soon after. I was born arid raised in the homestead down the road and bought this farm from my bachelor uncle in the early ’30’s. I’ve been tapping the trees and boiling maple syrup more than thirty years. “Maple syrup is the first crop of the season. Warm days and freezing nights are the best ‘sugar weather.’ Tapping of the trees begins usually around the middle of February. A tap hole is drilled with a slight downward slant about two inches into the cambium layer of the hard or ‘sugar’ maple tree. We drive a metal spile into the tap hole and hang a covered galvanized bucket. Trees will support one to as many as four buckets, depending on the size of the tree. As the sap rises to nourish the tree, it drips from the spile into the pail. In good weather, the sap runs about one drop per second and will fill a pail in less than 24 hours. “We gather the sap an equal distance on either side of a path winding through the woods, going the same way each time to avoid missing a bucket. We tap almost 700 trees in our woods and hang about 1025 buckets. The sap is gathered by hand and poured into a storage tank and brought back to the sugar house. “We have a 4x16 ft. copper King evaporator that I bought new in Vermont around 1948. The lop is sectioned off and the sap moves from section to section toward the finishing pan as it heats and thickens. Underneath, a hot fire is kept burning. Some producers use fuel oil or natural gas, but we burn wood and a little coal. Regardless of the fuel used, you come out with the same product. “Sap is boiled in the open pan and the water, in the sap is evaporated, rising as steam t hrough the open top of our sugar house. Ordinarily it takes about two hours and thirty gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup. So far this year, we have needed four hours and sixty gallons of sap to make a gallon of syrup. The quicker the sap is gathered and boiled, the better. You have to keep your eyes on it all the lime, stoking the fire and taking off the finished syrup. You can �prevent boil over by running a knife with a little butter on it through the syrup. It goes right down. Sugar makers used to tie a piece of fat just above the top of the pan to prevent the syrup from boiling over. During the sugar season, I spend most of the daylight hours in the sugar house. “There are several ways to test if the syrup is done. The oldest and still reliable way is simply to drop a thin stream from the skimmer and judge the color and thickness. Women have for years used this method of dropping a thin stream ofboiling liquid into a cup of water to test its con­ sistency and temperature instead of using a candy thermometer. “The hot liquid is then filtered to remove any ‘sugar sand’ or sediment, cooled, ancLcanned in pint, quart, half-gallon, and gallon containers. A gallon of standard maple syrup weighs 11 pounds and has a 65.5 percent sugar content. Syrup is graded according to flavor, color, den­ sity, clarity, and general ap­ pearance. A light colored syrup with the true maple flavor is judged best “It doesn’t take an expert to know when syrup is good. Just pour it lavishly over a stack of hot pancakes and savor the sweet­ ness. That taste-test is the best test there is. “We generally get between 200 and 350 gallons a season, and that’s just enough for my stan­ ding orders. It takes continuous work and long hours to make syrup each spring, but when it’s over, I always hate to quit. “Careful tapping does not harm a tree. A new cambium layer grows each year, the old layer becomes part of the heart that supports the tree. Tapping holes are usually about 4 feet from the ground. It does leave a scar as the wood heals over it, but the rest of the tree is perfectly good for lumber. With lumber at premium prices, many w6ods are being cut off and not replaced. It always makes me sad to see a woods go. “Sugaring is the first but only a sideline crop on our land,” Mr. Zemke explains. “With my son­ in-law, Dan Cook, we farm about 1200 acres in corn and crops, feed out lambs, hogs, and about 200 head : of cattle each year, and keep around 100 chickens for eggs and poultry. We used to have some dairy cows, but I sold them out a few years ago.” Reinhart Zemke and his wife Polly have four daughters, Margaret Cook, whose husband Dan works the farm with her father; Jean Booher, who lives at St. Mary’s Lake; Mary, a secretary in the insurance office in Battle Creek; and Edith, assistant administrator of a section of Borgess Hospital in Kalamazoo. “My daughters and my five grandchildren,” says Reinhart, “are the best crop I got.” Reinhart Zemke is not seriously thinking of retiring. “I’m looking forward to next year. I’ll be 72, and the govern­ ment will let me keep all the income I want. Guess they figure you can’t do much harm at that age." Mr. Zemke is a Mason, a member of the advisory board of the Sunfield Elevator, on the board of the Congregational Church in Vermontville, and president of the Festival Association. Vermontville is the biggest area in the state for the production of maple syrup. This is the fifth year that Reinhart Zemke has been chairman of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival. “They tell me,” he says, “that I have a good knack of passing out the work. “The Vermontville Festival began in the local barber shop over 35 years ago. Prior to then, those who made syrup had to peddle it to the towns around and door to door. How much better it would be, they decided, to bring people here to buy and celebrate with a festival. “From that chance remark, the Maple Syrup Festival has grown, and brings an annual crowd of ten to twenty thousand people in the two days. We have rides for the kids and con­ cessions, a small-animal display, and the Maple Manor is in con­ tinuous operation to demonstrate how maple syrup is made. Hospitality is the main theme of the festival, with pancakes and fresh maple syrup for all. The producers have syrup and maple sugar and candy on sale both days. “This year,” Mr. Zemke continues, “the Bi-Centennial Wagon Train will be in Ver­ montville both days of the Festival on its way from California to Washington, D.C. The maple syrup season is usually about 5 or six weeks long. We try, but we can’t really predict how good the season will be till it’s over. But we can be certain that the Maple Syrup Festival, the last weekend of April, will be a time for celebrating and fun for all ages.” Vermontville is making the most of its resources. They bring a heritage from the distant past into the present and celebrate it. In those few days of the Festival weekend, people come to savor the maple syrup, but also to remember and renew their ap­ preciation of the self-reliant spirit of America.

Main St. 726-0569 �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, April 21, 1976 — Page 7 Vermontville . . . how the town got: its beginning The building of the Erie Canal began the flow of settlers to the Northwest Territory, as this land was called at that time. There were few settlers in 1831, though the first step to open Michigan to settlers was the Treaty of Saginaw in 1819 with the Chippewas. A large tract of land which included all of Eaton County was ceded to the government. In 1835 Rev. Sylvester Cochrane a Congregational minister came to Michigan and found the settlers so scattered that it was difficult to organize schools or churches. Back home, in East Poultney, Vermont, the Reverend Mr. Cochrane took his idea to families interested in moving to Michigan. Finally, on March 27, 1836, at Castleton, Vermont, rules and regulations were drawn up for what was to be called the Union Colony. (This document is unique, and is on file in the office of the Register of Deeds of Eaton County.) A committee of two was set up to pass on the worthiness of the applicants for membership. To be accepted, one had to be definitely and thoroughly op­ posed to the use of liquor in any form. A committee of three was named to journey to Michigan to explore and purchase land for the Colony. They were to buy three square miles of land, and as much more as the collective funds would permit. On April 2, 1836, S.S. Church and William G. Henry left Ver­ mont with the Colony’s money in a cowhide valise. In Western New York they were joined by Wait J. Squier. Upon reaching Detroit they waited 24 hours for the stage - and open wagon. Because the roads were bad, in addition to paying their fare, they had to help pry the wagon out of the mud where the holes were the deepest. Their objective was the United States Land Office at Kalamazoo. They found the land through Colonel Barnes, a surveyor. Only one other parcel had been pur­ chased in the Township. By this time Colonel J.B. Scovill, the other member of the scouting party, with others of the colonists had arrived. After purchasing the land they returned to the site and laid out the village according to plans drawn up in Vermont; One mile, 40 rods long East and West, and one-half mile North and South. There were 36 lots, each 20 rods in width, extending 80 rods, containing 10 acres each. From the four center lots, one acre was taken for the Village Square. The farm lots of 160 acres were located around the Village as agreed in Vermont for the sum of $212.50. Bellevue was the nearest place to get green tea, also the Post Office and the grist mill were located there. Most of the trading, however, was done in Marshall and at the saw mill at Kalamo. It was from the saw mill at Kalamo that Wait J. Squier drew his Jumber for the first frame house in 1837-38. Michigan made early provision for canals. One, the Clinton Kalamazoo from Lake St. Clair to Lake Michigan, was surveyed along the Thornapple River and the work of construction on the Eastern end commenced, but it was never carried through. The first school was taught in a private home in 1838. That fall a log schoolhouse was built on the northwest corner of the square. (A boulder marks the spot.) The Congregational Church was organized in 1838. During the first few years they spent more money on religion and education then any other town. Of the 22 heads of the families all but two were members of the Congregational Church. By 1837 the village stretched out a mile long from East to West with two rows of log houses fronting the street ten to forty rods apart. There was one frame house. The log houses featured floors split out of white ash, roofed with peeled basswood, a ladder through a hole in one corner to go upstairs, a trap door in the floor for the cellar, a huge In the backgrownd, Museum (Academy) and the foregound, Methodist Church.

Before candles could be made, a strip of cotton flannel placed in an open dish of lard, and resting on the edge was used to furnish the light. Dr. Kedzie bought his first gallon of kerosene for $1.50 and a lamp with chimney for $3, in the fifties. Dr. Robert Kedzie came to Vermontville in 1852 to practice medicine. He enlisted in Dec. 1861 as assistant surgeon of the 12th Regiment of Michigan Infantry, leaving his wife and 3 boys. His first encounter was at the battle of Shiloh, where he was captured with all his hospital. Dr. Kedzie was Professor of Chemistry at Mich. Agricultural College, a position he held for 39'^ years. He was an Abolitionist along with Armstrong, Hopkings, and Willard Davis. Davis was one of the colonists, though one of the best read men in town and a political outcast until the other 3 moved in. He was elected as a representative in the State Legislature in 1857. Vermont pioneers settled what later became know as Vermontville. For about the first ten years of the village’s life, until he moved away, Morton’s blacksmith shop was the place for general discussion. A store was opened in 1853. Sawy or Saaba, the Chief of the local Indians, the Pottawatomies, was a frequent visitor in the area. He became enamored with a bright young lady of the village and made proposals of marriage to her father. He proposed to buy her and offered to give 4 ponies and$25br 5 ponies and no money. In 1843 the Congregational Chapel was built on the Nor­ thwest corner of the Square to be used for a school and church. This building is still standing, and together with the Congregational. Church are registered Historic Landmark Buildings, also National Registered Landmark Buildings. An Academical Association was formed in 1846, with the Rev. W.U. Benedict, the new Congregational minister as the first Superintendent. This school Continued page 8 BEST WISHES..

No state aid was recieved between 1951 and 1966. In 1967, the library received a grant from the McGregor Foundation of Detroit in a gift of $650 for reference books in 1967, 1968, and 1969. The library is now funded by the village of Nashville, Maple Grove Township, Castleton Township, state aid, and has a contractural agreement with Assyria Township. The library serves this entire area. Eva Dean was the first librarian, followed by Lucy Hinckley, Emily Hafner, Bertha McDerby, Marian (Nash) Potts, and Ina Smith. LaDuska Sheldon is the current Librarian. Mrs. Sheldon has four assistants, Jane Shoup, Ruth Brown, Janet Kellogg, and Melissa Showalter who has worked at the library for 17 years. The Library Board consists of five members, June Nesbet president, Sue Hinckley secretary, Alice Keihl, Irene Hamp, and Bessie Smith. The board decides library policies and budget. The library has several beautiful stained glass windows and a statue of a little boy and girl, that used to be part of a fountain in the Putnam front yard, now in the lobby.

The 90 year old house was donated in the Putnam will to the village of Nashville to be used as a library. The will also included a large French wall clock, antique walnut chairs, large portraits of the donors, and 300 books. The library now has 13,980 volumes of books in stock. A trust fund of $10,000 was left to the village for maintaining the library and an additional $1,000 Union Church Service United Methodist Church First Congregational Church Sunday, April 25,1976 10 a.m. — Outdoors Center of Town Maple Syrup Festival Vermontville, Mich. for remodeling. In remodeling, a partition was taken out between the living room and a bedroom, making a large room which is now the main part of the library. Another partition was removed between the dining room and con­ servatory, providing a large children’s room. The parlor remained intact, and is now used as the reference and reading room. The Nashville Women’s Literary Club petitioned the village to start the library and asked to do the work in establishing it. The house began functioning as a library in 1923. The library was supported by funds contributed by Nashville Village, Castleton Township, and interest from the endowment fund given by the Putnam’s.

Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, April 21, 1976 — Page 12 Producers harvesting one of nature’s ‘sweetest’products k typical ‘Maple Syrup Shanty*, where long hours from dedicated producers will spend the syrup season. The Corey shanty produces about 300 gallons of syrup a year. Identity. . a thing that com­ munities all over the world strive a achieve. They often invest thousands upon thousands of dollars to create something that isn’t or build something that is theirs. In Maple Valley, identity comes naturally, for it’s nature’s product its people are famous for. Many years ago, the early settlers learned from the Indians the value ofunique resource from the sap of one special tree. That tree, of course, is the hard maple, which gave the area its name. Today, maple syrup is served on breakfast tables everywhere. But to the people of Maple Valley, syrup is more than a food, it’s a tradition, for they are the ones who make it all possible. Maple syrup is a woodland crop produced only in late winter or early spring. The trees tapped should have a minimum diameter of ten inches at a point four and a half inches from the ground. Larger trees can ac­ commodate two or more buckets at a time. The date of tapping varies, driving the spile. The sap is collected and deposited in the gathering tank. This is sometimes done with a suction pump, but usually by hand, which is expensive and hard work. After collecting, the sap is emptied into a storage tank which is located near the sugar house. If the tank is located underground, the sap is pumped to an overhead and flows by gravity to the evaporator, an open pan used to boil the water from the sap. The boiling process reduces 30-50 gallons of sap into one gallon of syrup. Each tap will yield about 15 to 20 gallons of sap per season, with an average sugar content of two and a half percent. When the “run” is on, the farmers often spend 24 hours a day collecting the sap and operating the sugar house. One gallon of maple syrup will produce seven to eight pounds of maple candy or maple sugars. Sap entering the evaporator is controlled by a float and the sap flows toward the finishing pan as it evaporates. Jan. Brad, and Curt Benedict collect the sap that will soon become the sweet product. (Maple Valley News Photo) Syrup is more than a food, it's a tradition, for these are the people who make it possible. oto)0 and HarOld Benedict relax after completing this year’s crop. (Maple Valley News Albert Bell hard at work at his shanty (Maple Valley News Photo) �It takes 30 to 50 gallons of maple sap to make one gallon maple syrup. Many of the long time syrup producers in Maple Valley said this was one of the worst production years they could remember. The sap stopped flowing a couple of weeks earlier than usual and the sugar content was low, in some cases taking as much as 65 gallons of sap to make one gallon of syrup.

Many of them still burn wood or coal to boil the sap, while others use crank case oil or natural gas for fuel. Most still gather sap by hand, while some have progressed to mechanical gathering systems. The following is a panorama of brief sketches about the association members. We hope this will familiarize our readers with the different people and their various operations, who bring the sweet product to you. The Corey Farm, northbound on Ionia Highway outside Ver­ montville has been in the family for five generations. They started making syrup in 1918. The farm is now run by the Corey sisters, Olive and Flossie, a brother, Arthur Shetenhelm, and his son, Tim. They also employ four gatherers during the peak of the syrup season.

With many untapped trees, the Benedicts look toward a sweet future. Their uncle, Harold Benedict, has been making syrup as long as he can remember, since he helped his father as a boy. It is common for his copper evaporator to produce about 300 gallons yearly. He put in 700 taps this year. Benedict’s son, Brian, became a partner in the business this year and his contribution was very beneficial. Benedict’s wife, the former Edith Van Blarcom, is an expert candy maker. Thdir grandson, Terry, a student at Michigan State University and living at their home, also helped this year. The Benedicts have eight children, including Iris Wion of Vermontville and Karen Benedict who was the 1968 Maple Syrup Queen. The Bell and Gardner operation is a multi-family production between Albert and Paul Bell, and Gerald Gardner. Albert Bell said he started toting buckets of sap for his father when he was four years old. They credit much of their success to Bill and Dorothy Swift and family, who do most of the gathering. Another neighbor, Harold Dishong, also helps. The producers use crank case oil and a blacksmith blower with electric motor to boil the sap, which usually produces 350-400 gallons of syrup a year. Their production varies -from 200-525 gallons. This year they hung 1400 pails. Albert Bell is married to the former Mary Feighner and Gardner to the former Alberta Swift. Mrs. Bell also contributes much to the operation, with sugar candy her specially. Earl Wilson remembers when his father-in-law used to lug five gallon pails about a mile, from the shanty to the house. His wife’s (Lorna Garlinger) father started making syrup in 1937. Wilson moved the shanty up by the house three years ago, where he now uses natural gas to heat the boiler. He said it may cost as much as $1.50 to heat a gallon of syrup. He recalls when a gallon of syrup sold for 50 cents. This year he hung 900 buckets and expects to produce 250 gallons in a normal season. He has made as much as 450-475 gallons in a single season during his ten years in the business. Wilson is assisted by his wife, son, Bill; and three workers.

The Mrs. Carl Gearhart farm, near Charlotte, is the largest syrup producer in the area, with 3,700 taps this year. She has produced as much as 2,050 gallons of syrup in a single season, and never less than 800 gallons. Her operation is an expensive undertaking as fuel costs amount to $187 and labor $230 a day. She also feeds the hardy appetites of Mrs. Carl Gearhart decorates her kitchen. Valley News Photo) (Maple �that brought in 250 gallons of syrup. His sister and brother-in­ law, Larry and Diane Winegar, helped this year. Carl Thrun, two miles east of Vermontville Highway, has been running his own syrup operation for 31 years. His father originated the business, and now Thrun’s son, David, seems deeply in­ volved in preserving the family tradition. Thrun also employs four or five teenage gatherers during the heavy sap flow. Thrun’s wood fed boiler, produces between 200-300 gallons of syrup yearly. He has produced as much as 400 gallons. There are about 750 taps on the Thrun farm this year. Mrs. Thrun, the former Jane Figg, makes maple sugar for those with the sweet tooth. With the appropriate machine she could make her dream come true and add Maple Cream to her spring menu. Amos Haigh and family have their own taps, but also boil the sap for several of their neighbors. Bill and Judy Joppie, Dale Dodes and family, Jay Glandon and family, and Richard Garns and Titmus gather their own sap and deliver it to the Haigh shanty for processing. Between the five families they produce about 900 gallons of syrup a year. They had 2500 taps this season. Four generations of the Haigh family have been in the syrup business. They have been at their present location near Charlotte for 18 years. They sell syrup, cream, and candy from their showcase at the shanty. The store is always open There’s plenty to do, for that sap must be collected The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, April 21,1976 — Page 15 if someone is home. The Haigh children, Sandy, who is a member of the 1976 queen’s court, and Scott help their father during the busy spring season. Haigh gathers sap both manually and by gravity. Mrs. Haigh is the former Joyce Smith. Leo Malcuit used to produce more syrup before he cleared out much of his woods. At one time he had 1600 taps, now he hangs about 700 pails. He used to make 600 gallons of syrup, now he averages about 300. He started the business in 1950. The manpower this year was supplied by Malcuit, his wife, the former, Mary King, and their son, Joel. The family use both the old and the new, as they boil with wood and gather by hose and motor. Malcuit’s brother and father were involved in the early years. The Mary-Way Farm of Nashville, owned by Wayne and Rodney Pennock, is one of the bigger private syrup operations. The Pennocks have 1200 taps in the same woods their family have been tapping since the 1880’s. It is a family affair, as it takes the entire family to get the job done. The Pennocks remove the syrup nearing completion from the boiler and put it in a finishing tank. There they can check the density of the syrup with more accuracy. Reinhart Zemke, the president of the association, has been tapping trees and boiling syrup for more then 30 years near Vermontville. He taps almost 700 trees and hangs about 1,025 buckets. He fires his boiler with wood and occasionally coal, as he likes to do it the nostalgic way. His wife, Polly, also is a prominent figure in the business. For the first time in many years, Walt Furlong did not -produce any syrup. His grand­ father, Henry Warner, started the operation. He hung 700 pails last year and made a little over 100 gallons. Most of the syrup is saved for family use. Furlong, his wife, Mabel, their four sons, and grandchildren all pitch in to get the job done. The Furlong’s produced 170 gallons three years ago at their farm north of Nashville. Mrs. Furlong drives the tractor while the rest of the family Passers by view the boiling-off process and get a whif of the sweet steam. �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, April 21,1976 — Page 16 Brief Summary of New Michigan Land Use Act...H.B. 4234 The proposed Land Use Act will be controlled by a 9-member commission, political appointees of the Governor for the purpose of protecting and preserving agriculture, horticulture, forest lands, mineral lands, open space, recreational, natural habitat for wildlife scenic areas, wetlands, floodplains and shorelines to maintain ecological integrity and the use and enjoyment of these areas by present and future generations.

I recognize the need for land use planning to assure proper and orderly growth and development within and throughout each county. House Bill 4234 would tend to negate this local effort by placing the ultimate and final control with nine political ap­ pointees in Lansing. Further, I point to the several and varied public acts, such as the Wild Rivers, the Shorelands Management Protection, and the Soil Erosion and Sedimentation public acts with rules and regulations thereto which presently govern and control land and resources through the “Where \ouSave Does Moke A Difference EATON FEDERAL SAVINGS & LOAN Pays The HIGHESTINTEREST HATES Allowable by Law .00% .25% Interest on a passbook account, with earnings from date of deposit to date of withdrawal, paid and com* pounded quarterly, resulting in an effective annual 5.35% 6 Interest on a four-year Certificate, $2,500.00 minimum is paid and compounded quarterly, resulting in an effective annual yield of. .00% Interest on a one-year Certificate, $1,000.00 minimum is paid and compounded quarterly, resulting in an effective annual yield of . . 6.14% JJ a four-yea -year Certificate, $5,000.00 minimum is impounded quarterly, resulting in an effective impounde annual yield of.........

House Bill 4234 will further duplicate and add to the en­ vironment of controls that can only confuse, embitter and burden the already over-taxed property owner. AnotherconcernI have with the Land Use Bill is that it gives the Land Use Commission full authority without legislative intervention and thus creating a bureaucratic control resulting in further erosion of local authority. The denial of local rights insures bureaucratic control; and the citizens, in my judgement, object to excessive land controls im­ posed upon them by government - especially controls that they have no local jurisdiction over. I feel that certain injustices to property owners “surface” when counties get “locked in” to State statutes whereby local citizens must take their problems and entrust their pleadings to nine total strangers appointed by the Governor many miles from home. If you believe you have been aggrieved by the designation of your property or any decision handed down by the commission, the only court you are privileged to go to in protecting the ownership of your land is the State Court of Appeals. However, that is a costly process and if you could not afford the expense your constitutional right would be abridged. Why should you be forced to defend your right of property ownership in court? It seems unbelievable that this legislature is about to consider legislation that could remove the property rights of every property owner in the undeveloped areas of our state as well as all the families that, perhaps, would like to live in rural Michigan in the future. Much credit for helping draft this bill must be given to the American Society of Planning officials at 1313 East 60th Street, Chicago, Ill., located on the University of Chicago campus*. This just happened to be the same address as that of the Artierican Public Welfare Association. There is a new concept of private ownership of land being developed as well as a new concept of public rights to private owned land. There are those in the Michigan Legislature that believe owners of property don’t really own but only rent by paying taxes. They maintain that all the people of Michigan own all of the land in Michigan. House Bill 4234,1 believe, is a dangerous bill. Be sure and patronize the many businesses who's support, has made this issue possible! Thank You!

April 19 to April 26 Last Hurdle - The House last week approved extending the fiscal year from June 30 to September 30. This could have a dramatic impact on public education in subsequent years. PBB Ban - In the aftermath of the PBB disaster, the House has approved HB 6145, which prohibits any detectable level of PBB in commercial feed. This gives the Agriculture Department statutory authority to test such feed for PBB. Land Use - The controversial HB 4234, which ,would commit the state to land-use planning, has failed to get enough votes to be reported out of committee to the full House. Supporters will try again at the end of the month. Lake Land Guide - A new booklet from the DNR, “Planning and Management Guidelines for Inland Lake Property Owners,” suggests the most beneficial methods for new building and lakeside development, and covers protection of water quality, acquatic life and shorelines. Write: Inland Lake Management Unit, 8th Floor, Mason Building, Lansing 48901. Historic Land - Governor Milliken has signed into law a measure which permits the state to acquire and maintain historic sites through a fund maintained by private donations. Previously, there was no mechanism for the state to preserve our heritage this way. Open Dumps Out - In spite of a 1965 law, open dumps exist illegally in 46 of Michigan’s 83 counties. The Natural Resources Commission has directed the DNR to take action to close dumps which don’t comply with regulations, or which are an environmental hazard. Tenant Rights - Before recessing for Easter, the House approved HB 4957,, which prohibits landlords from taking personal property, changing locks ocs without wou providing provdng keys, eys, introducing noises or shutting off utilities, unless a tenant has not paid the rent or if such actions were pursuant to a court order. There is a 1-year limit to sue for damages. Honor Guard - The Governor has delcared the period April 12May 15 to be “Operation Minuteman ’76” to honor, and encourage people to sign up in, the Michigan National Guard. Nationally, the Guard provides 16 percent of our armed forces for only 3 percent of the defense budget. Storm Damage - Although last month’s ice storms caused upwards of $1 million damage to Michigan Public Schools, there should be little trouble in paying for repairs the disaster declaration by President Ford releases federal funds for this purpose.

In greatest demand for cut flowers are hybrid tea roses and Michigan is a leader in rose production. Of the 22 major flower producing states, Michigan ranks eighth nationally in total rose production. Marketing officials of the Michigan Department of Agriculture say Michigan’s 34 commercial growers produced 565,000 rose plants in 1975 for nearly 11 million blooms, valued at $2.85 million. Macomb county is the rose production center of the state. The saying, a rose is a rose, just isn’t so. Michigan growers say top quality roses are determined by length of stem, foliage and bloom. Stem length is a primary factor in determining cost of roses at wholesale and retail levels. The red rose is an all-time favorite and the most popular red variety grown in Michigan is “Forever Yours.” Hybrid tea roses are grown primarily under controlled temperatures and atmosphere conditions in greenhouses. Pinching for blooms for Mother’s Day starts each year about mid-March. Roses are generally cut in early morning and handinspected for color, quality of stem, foliage and bloom. Many growers are using an automated machine which separates roses according to stem lengths. Flowers are hand-wrapped and refrigerated until ready for shipment. Michigan-grown roses are shipped to flower shops and nurseries throughout the state. Very few, if any, are shipped outof-state. Top quality roses are wrapped in florist paper, other grades in plastic, and tran­ sported in refrigerated trucks.

Barry-Eaton Health Department In an effort to increase in­ dividual and community protection against measles (Rubeola), which is sometimes called “hard”, “red”, or “oldfashioned” measles, your county health department, together with Michigan Department of Public Health, is continuing to sponsor special clinics in the schools to update immunizations for Barry County. A clinic will be held at the Lakewood High School and Woodland Jr. High on April 22. Another clinic will be held at the Delton-Kellogg High School and Middle School on April 27. The Hastings, ThornappleKellogg and Maple Valley School Systems have already had measles clinics conducted. A survey made in connection with measles vaccine, provided for years in this county, shows that a group of teens exists with low protection. The Health Department is interested in covering this group. The Health Department recommends that children who received measles vaccine prior to 1966, or received the vaccine with Gamma Globulin, or received the vaccine before 12 months of age should have the vaccine repeated. Any question regarding these clinics, contact the Barry-Eaton District Health Department, 945­ 9516. BOARDING DOGS & CATS: Carroll Wells, Ph. 726-0129. WANTED: Gardens to plow in Nashville.

Maple sap is flowing in the Nashville and Vermontville area. The people of Maple Valley have had maple syrup in their blood for more then a hundred years. This year, the people of Nashville started tapping the hard maple trees on Valentine’s Day. There were approximately 3,000 buckets hanging from over 1,500 Nashville trees. In 1942, the people of the village formed the Nashville Maple Syrup Association. In 1959, the association built a small white brick building on Philadelphia street to house its first boiler. The boiler is the central focal point during the four to six weeks when the sap is flowing. The trees are tapped and the sap is gathered through a cooperative effort by various local organizations. The groups receive a share of the profits according to the amount of work they contribute. The Little League Baseball and Football organizations and the Softball League all obtain a major portion of their budget through this work. The organizations also assist in the boiling process. Another benefactor of the sap collecting has been the village’s Putnam Park. Each year the association donates a substantial amount of its profits for im­ provements in the park. The association donated $2200 in 1972, and $1,000 in 1973. Sap is gathered every day. If the sap is allowed to set in the buckets, it will be quickly ruined by bacteria. Once the sap is collected, and put in the storage tanks, it’s only a matter of time before it is made into syrup. It takes 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of maple syrup.

The library has received several donations from area residents. Many paintings by Mae McKinnis decorate the walls, donated by Lynn and Mabel McKinnis. Mrs. McKinnis had been a Nashville teacher. Betty Kuhlman of Grand Rapids, has donated several antique furniture items and a painting entitled “Country Landscape,” done by Mrs. Putnam. A tiffany lamp was donated by the Gribben family. The Nash­ ville art group donated a metal rack for bodes. Castleton and Maple Grove Townships donated took cases, carpeting and wall paper. Many other items, in eluding books, were donated by various people. A shoe worn by Chief Askasaw was given to the library. The Indian was an area resident now buried in Barryville Cemetery in Barry County. The library also possesses the Civil War Diary of William Boston who was a Nashville Resident. It is dated from August 19, 1862, to July 4, 1865. “People are welcome to come to the library and look at the diary,” Mrs. Sheldon said, “but it’s too valuable to be cir­ culated.” A new room, called the “Local History in Michigan Room” is being planned. The room is sponsored by the Nashville Woman’s Literary Club. “The room will consist of books about Michigan, old Photographs and scrapbooks of local people and events, and old maps.” Mrs. Sheldon said. “It should be an education to people who want to learn about our local history.” Putnam Public Library has a contractural arrangement with Willard Library in Battle Creek. “We can draw on the Willard Library books and films, all of these items are available to us.” said Mrs. Sheldon. Putnam Library has a class III rating. The ratings depend upon the number of people served by the library. The library has almost 21,000 circulated items at the present time. The library also carries records and periodicals. They have National Geographies dating back to 1910. They also carry many Life, Time, and Newsweek magazines. “I like the small town library situation,” stated Mrs. Sheldon, “Because we are able to take more interest in each person. We especially like to help the young people who are interested in learning.” All items are borrowed from Putnam Library for two week periods. Only one cent a day is charged for overdue bodes. The library is open 30 hours a week. They are open Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 2 p.m. - 9 p.m., Tuesdays 10 a.m. noon, and Saturdays 10 a.m. - 5 p.m. There is something for everyone at Putnam Library.

The sugar shanties throughout the Nashville- Vermontville area are the centers of attention as the season progresses and all of the folks keep a close eye on the weather, watching for just the right temperatures for a plentiful crop. �Barber shop banter" ..what forms the festival Barber shop banter, a form of crackerbox conversation from the back seat, gave Vermontville a novel festival and a reputation. One of the “Social Sojourns” in the local barber shop back in 19740 brought out the need for some kind of community celebration. After many words and ideas had been juggled about, the suggestion of a Maple Syrup Festival came up. The Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival was started by Milton Lamb, then one of the younger merchants. The idea seemed a good one and a meeting was called, from which the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Corporation was formed. The corporation is made up of a president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and trustees. In June, following the Festival, which is always held in April, the annual meeting is held, at which time officers are elected and the date for the next festival is set. “Hospitality” is the main idea; pancakes and real maple syrup await all; the producers have their products on sale all day. on Main Street, and dancing Crowning of the Maple Syrup complete the day’s activities, Queen, parades and en- which draw throusands of tertainment from a stage erected visitors each year.

Approval of these two millage proposals would enable the school district to continue to offer a quality educational program and still maintain a general fund equity eliminating the need to borrow funds and incur an ad­ ditional interest expense. The school district has been able to expand the educational program in past years while being able to operate within ,the funds available without having to borrow any funds for general school operation. The total of fourteen mills extra voted plus the 8.3 mills allocated provides a total of 22.3 mills for operational purposes which is one of the lower total millages in the State of Michigan. The additional millage is necessary to meet the increase in general operational costs in­ cluding the general increase in educational materials and supply expenditures. Increased costs have also been experienced through and expanded com­ munity education program. School personnel and members of the Board of Education are available to meet with any group and explain present school operation and the two millage proposals. Please call 852-9699 if you desire to schedule a meeting or have any questions relative to the present state aid act or general school operation.

It isn’t necessary that a person be a taxpayer to be eligible to vote upon the millage proposals. A person must be registered with the appropriate township or city clerk in order to be eligible to vote at the annual school election. The deadline for registration is Monday, May 17,1976 at 5:00 p.m. to be eligible to vote at the June election. Incumbent Charles Viele and James Erwin have taken out petitions as candidates for the position on the board of education. Nominating petitions may be obtained at the school administration office. The deadline for filing nominating petitions is Monday, May 17,1976, at 4 p.m. One millage proposal will be for the renewal of the fourteen mills for operational purposes which expired with the 1975 levy. The other ballot will be for an additional two mills to help cover the increasing costs as related to the total instructional program and school operation. Under the present state aid act which is based upon a state-local equalization of millage, every school district would receive a fixed amount of dollars per mill up to a miximum of twenty-seven mills. This current school year the Maple Valley School District has a total of 22.3 mills (including the allocated millage) to cover the operational costs. Renewal of the fourteen mills and approval of the additional two mills would enable the school district to more fully participate in the state aid act while being able to provide a quality educational program. Two mills represents $2.00 on each $1,000.00 of state equalized valuation. The additional two mills would result in income in the amount of approximately $153,841 based upon the current state aid for­ mula. Under the current state aid act the state’s share would be $104,458 (67.9 percent) and the local share would be $49,383 (32.1 4th Graders make Map percent) enabling the school Two fourth grade classes at Fuller Street School made a map of the United States and district to continue offering the mounted it on the gymnasium wall this spring. present instructional program as Starting in the fall, each student studied the history of a state and reported on it. well as the extra curricular Sherry Roe and Kathy Deeg are the teachers.

CC-76 is a project selected to promote awareness of our waterways in southern Michigan. A service project such as a section of river clean-up, was required as well as taking part in the canoeing trip down the Grand River to Grand Haven. This could include canoeing on any of the tributaries that empty into the Grand River. Troop 648 helped clean part of the Thornapple River from Ionia Road to Mason Road. Numerous log jams were cleared, but several large jams still remain. Becuase of other com­ mitments, the Scout Troop will be unable to canoe with the scheduled party during May 17­ , 23.

Controlling house flies and ants a must- EAST LANSING, Mich. - One of the more aggravating events around the house is emerging flies and ants; but they can be controlled with proper care. “The first seen are usually the cluster flies, large bumbling insects which are more of a nuisance than a disease carrier,” says James Liebherr, Michigan State University Extension insect specialist. Cluster flies are usually out­ door insects, which overwinter in household walls, attics and outbuildings. They are the first to emerge in spring. They appear in the home generally because they can’t get out through the exterior walls. “They spend the warm months outside, seeking shelter in late fall, and are most common in rural areas,” Liebherr says.

If Vermontville, Michigan germs are in these materials, the Citizens Elevator crappies are generally very good in several inland lakes and pike and muskies are hitting hard­ ware and suckers, particularly in Hamlin lake, but also in Lincoln and Pere Marquette lakes. Frankfort - East Shore Charter Service reports good fishing both on Lake Michigan and off the pier. Good catches of lake trout, in the 5-14 lb. range, are being made in 20-30 ft. of water. Best catches - a 21 lb. lake trout and a 10 lb. chinook. Northport - Capt. Red Oosterbaan of Lake Trout Charter Service reports limit catches of lake trout on Grand Traverse Bay. Red’s boat, “Lucky Strike,” pulled in 11 trout in one hour. Best lures are blue, silver, and chartreuse fireplugs at 130-140 ft. depths.

If the flies have access to man’s food, they contaminate it by walking over or regurgitating on it (this appears as fly specks). Flies spread a variety of diseases including typhoid, dysentery and diarrhea. Flies within the home can be controlled with aerosols con­ taining pyrethrins or malathion. To kill flies in a room, release a mist from an aerosol bomb or power sprayer and keep the room closed for an hour. Be careful not to contaminate food. Pest strips are best suited for attics or areas not frequented by children, elderly persons, or pets. “As much as possible, use a fly swatter for spot control,” Liebherr advises. Surface sprays leave a residue that may be effective for several weeks. Malathion and ronnel may be used when sprayed around windows and areas frequented by flies. Moisten the surface without causing runoff. Do not use in food areas. Sanitation is still the best fly control method. Keep garbage and other refuse under cover.

Candidate filing date is Tuesday June 1Secretary of State Richard H. Austin is reminding prospective political candidates in Michigan that June 1,1976 is their deadline for filing petitions in time to qualify for the August primary election. Austin noted, “The reminder is particularly important this year, because the deadline is two weeks earlier than in previous years.” He added, “Although the June 1st final filing date is indicated on the state’s official election calendar, we are concerned that a number of candidates and political organizations may fail to take into account the new deadline and could wind up turning in petitions too late to get on the August ballot.” Minutes of the Regular Meeting Held April 22,1976 Village of Nashville Susan Corkwell, Clerk The Regular meeting of the Nashville Village Council was called to order by President George Frith with all present. ’’ .

Today the store is stocked to the brim with a wide range of products. “When I started in the business, the store was so empty you could hear your voice echo.” smiled Mrs. Wolfe. “Where’ I used to buy one or two of a par­ ticular item, I now order about ten cases.” In the beginning, she worked the store with her son, who helped part-time through the high school co-op program. In 1972, she hired Gaylord Gray who had worked for Kiehl Hardware in Nashville for over 20 years. Ironically, Gray hired Mrs. Wolfe for the job that introduced her to the hardware business. “Gale Kiehl told me that if I knew of a good office girl, I could hire her.” recalled Gray. “I knew Merna had previous office ex­ perience and was a good worker, so I hired her for him.” Mrs. Wolfe has self taught herself everything she knows about the hardware business. She runs the pipethreader, sets up plumbing jobs, cuts keys and handles most problems her customers may have. (Maple Valley News Photo) During her five years at Kiehl Hardware, she not only handled the office chores, but learned all aspects of the business through her own initiative. “She wanted to learn all she could about the store,” said Gray, “so she watched, listened, and just started doing other work. Now she can cut and thread pipe, set up plumbing jobs, and do most anything that has to be done in a hardware store.” “It was really a challenge when she bought the store.” Gray added. “People were saying a woman couldn’t make it in the hardware business. Well, I guess she proved ’em wrong.” “She deserves all the success she can get, with all the hours and hard work she puts into that store.” Vermontville had been without a hardware store for over a year before Mrs. Wolfe opened for business. “The people of Vermontville had made it known that they wanted a hardware store about the same time that Mr. Kiehl sold his business,” Mrs. Wolfe said. “So I decided to open the'store and give it a try. While atKiehl’s I knew that the hardware business was what I liked.” “To own a small business you’ve got to like people and please the customer. You also have to like what you’re doing because it takes a lot of hard work and long hours fo-make it go.” “We can give the customers' personal service that a big store or discount house can’t give them,” Mrs. Wolfe added, “and are always fair to the people we deal with.” “I’ll open the store at anytime for emergency situations.” said Gray. “I Tiave never turned a customer down yet That’s what we’re here for.” . Vermontville Hardware is much like an old fashioned general store, with a lot of everything. They carry paint and paint supplies, plumbing sup­ plies, gift and housewares, electrical supplies, home and garden supplies, tools, mowers and tillers, lamps, wheelbarrows, fishing gear, boots and much more. Mrs. Wolfe has two daughters, Mrs. Steven (Pamela) Strickland of Hastings, and Mrs. Carl Vermontville was without a hardware store until May 1971 when Merna Wolfe bought the present Vermontville Hardware Store. (Maple Valley News Photo) (Linda) Soules Jr. of Hersher, Illinois. She has two grandsons. She is the wife of the late Donald Wolfe, and the mother of the late Jack and Carey Wolfe. “There are a lot of good pepple in this community, and they have always . stuck right by me.” said Mrs. Wolfe. “The people of Vermontville have been good to us, I can’t say enough for these fine people.” \ Mrs. Wolfe hired Gaylord Gray in 1972, and he is important to the function of the businesss. Here he threads a pipe. (Maple Valley News Photo) Merna Wolfe never fails to greet her customers with a friendly smile.

Nashville VFW8260 & Auxiliary Personalized plates may be ordered now for 77If you want your car ZAPPED, ZONKED, or BONKED for 1977, now is the time to do it. According to Michigan , Secretary of State Richard Austin, applications for 1977 Personalized license plates are _ now being accepted. The personalized license plates cost $25 above the normal license plate fee with the funds being used to help clean Michgan’s highways, Austin said. For the first time this year, personalized license plates may be obtained for use on pick-up trucks and motorcycles. Because of the smaller size of the motorcycle license plates they will be limited to five letters or number combinations. Automobiles and pick-up trucks still may use any six letter or number combination as the of­ ficial Michigan license plate, excluding of course, obscene or objectionable combinations. Last year more than 15,000 motorists obtained personalized license plates for their cars, Austin said, more than triple the previous year’s high. Deadline to order for 1977 is June 30, 1976. The personalized license plates will be mailed to owners about November 15, the date Ayhen all license tags go on sale. Applications may be obtained at any Secretary of State field office.

What’s more, they are earning one semester hour of college credit. Attending from Nashville, is Mary Rose Frith, 310 Middle Street. She attends Maple Valley High School. Students were selected for Operation Bentley through interviews by Olivet College of­ ficials at public, private and parochiall high schools throughout the state. On the TUw Olivet campus, they started with simulated party caucuses, then elected city, township and county officers. Then they held mock government meetings. Operation Bentley is sponsored by the Alvin M. Bentley Foun­ dation of Owosso. Since the program first began in 1963, more then 800 high school students have gained an in-depth look at how local and state government works. Olivet College Prof. Robert C.

Michigan State University horticulturists suggest the following timely lawn and garden activities: . • --Mow your lawn as frequently as needed to avoid cutting off more than 40 percent of the leaf surface at any one mowing. -Late in June, fertilize asparagus. All month, keep an. eye peeled for asparagus beetles feeding on the fems and laying eggs on the spears. Control them with malathion, Sevin or Methoxychlor to prevent defoliation. -Spring flowering bulbs that did poorly this year may need thinning and transplanting. Dig them up after the bulb coats turn brown and store then in a cool, dry place until fall. Then replant at proper depth and spacing. -Houseplants and other plants grown outdoors in containers dry out quickly. Check them frequently and water when the soil is dry. Hanging baskets dry most rapidly - check them at least once a day. ♦■Pinch mums to make the plants send out side shoots. Remove the top half inch of each shoot when it is six inches long. -Plant gladioli- through June for a continuous supply of cut flowers. -Set potted azaleas into a shaded spot in the garden. -Prune and fertilize rambler roses after they have flowered. -Prune spring flowering shrubs - such as forsythia, lilac, flowering quince and mock orange - after they are finished blooming. -Plant dahlias, callas, begonias and caladiums. Mulch dahlias after the plants are well established. -Pick strawberries as they ripen. Pick in the morning when the berries are cool. Remove overripe or damaged berries from the patch to minimize fruit rot and attraction of sap beetles. If birds are a problem, cover the patch with bird netting on a wood frame. To maintain top quality refrigerate berries as soon as possible after harvest -Apply a second light ap­ plication of nitrogen to lawns. -Spray to control the bronze birch borer. Keep birches healthy and vigorously growing by watering and fertilizing. Healthy trees are less susceptible to in­ sect attack then weak ones. -Water lawns once a week, as necessary, so the soil is wet to a depth of five or more inches. —Check newly transplanted trees to be sure that all rope or wire is removed from the trunks. If left on a growing tree, a rope or wire becomes a noose that girdles it. Also check guy wires on young trees and adjust or remove them as needed. -Leafhoppers and plant bugs may infest honey locust trees in June or July. Use malathion or Sevin according to label directions to control the pests. -Check your vegetable garden frequently for aphids, mites, caterpillars, beetles and other distinctive insects so you can apply controls before the pest population gets out of hand. -If tomato blossom end rot was a problem last year, try to water regularly to avoid extreme fluctuations in soil moisture level. -Take poinsetta cuttings for blooming plants by Christmas. -Remove faded flowers - not the foliage from spring flowering bulbs. The leaves must be left to build up the bulb for next year’s growth. -Plant brussel sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Chinese Cabbage, kale and en­ dive for a fall vegetable crop. . -Water newly transplanted trees and shrubs and other or­ namentals as needed. -Trim hedges after they have grown six inches, cutting back half of the new growth. --Examine ornamentals in early June for scale insects on foliage and wood. Spray infested plants with malathion while the insects are in the crawling stage. -Spray hollyhocks and delphiniums with fungicide to prevent rust and mildew. -Propagate shrubs by rooting softwood cuttings taken this month and early in July. -Plant potted roses in bud or ip bloom. -Remove old flowers from perennials that have finished blooming. -Plant petunias, portulaca, impatiens and other annual bedding plants in prepared beds. -Weed, mulch and water the vegetable garden as necessary. -Be on the lookout for slug damage to vegetables and flowers. Rich, damp soil and. The Nashville Bluebirds worked hard planting petunias in Central Park Thursday afternoon. (Maple Valley News Photo) mulches encourage slug buildup. In flower gardens, use Measurol slug bait; in vegetables, use Metaldehyde bait for control. -White grub control in lawns using chlordane or diazinon will eliminate the grubs as lawn pests and food for moles.

The Historical Meeting Thursday evening turned out to be one of our most outstanding in several ways, attendance of nearly one hundred to enjoy the delicious potluck, and the program by Miss Rose Dills of Saginaw, a retired teacher, college professor and world traveler. As persons entered the dining room they saw tables with bells and groups of bells on styrofoam bases (decorated with red, white and blue ribbon) of highly polished brass and copper, also many colored glass or crystal, and some ofwood such as teakwood and mahogany. One interesting bell was the nose cone of a helicopter and plated with brass. Miss Dills said the largest bells are in Russia, one weighing 200 tons. While making this a piece broke out which weighed eleven ton, and is used for a chapel that seats fifty people. - Miss Dills belongs to the American Bell Association and has collected over 500 which she displays on shelves in her home in Saginaw. She brought about one half of these to our meeting. I understand it took her with helpers three hours to arrange them on the tables. Mr. and Mrs. B. Botje of Saginaw (cousins of Margreta and Martha Zemke) brought Miss Dills down for this meeting and they spent the night at the Zemke’s.: The oldest bell Miss Dills had was about 150 years old and came from a Buddist temple in India. The parents give the priest a bell when a son is bora. The next meeting of the Historical Society" will be July 15 when we meet in Charlotte with the Eaton County Society.

Voters in the Nashville area will be voting at t the Kellogg gg gymnasium, gy, and voters in the Vermontville area will be voting in the kindergarten room at tthe Maplewood Elementary School. The polls will be open from 7:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m., Monday, June 14. Absentee ballots may be obtained by contacting Jerry Brumm, Secretary of the Bdard of Education, or by calling the school administration office. Incumbent Charles Viele is a candidate for election to the board of education along with James Erwin. This is a four year term beginning July 1, 1976 through June 30, 1980. During the present school year, the Board of Education has operated the school district with 8.3 mills allocated from the county along with the fourteen mills (14) extra voted. This total amount of 22.3 for operational purposes is one of the lower amounts in this area as well as in the State of Michigan. Approval of both millage proposals would enable the school district to more fully participate in the present state aid act which is based upon a state-local concept. A school district may receive full state aid up to a maximum of twenty­ seven (27) mills this current school year. Both millage proposals are for a period of three years. The one proposal is for the renewal of the fourteen mills (14) which expired with the December 1975 levy. The additional {wo (2) mills on the other proposal would provide additional funds enabling the school district to continue of- fering the same basic education program and related activities program. It is the desire of the board of education to be able to continue to employ a teaching staff comparable in size to this current school year and not have to increase the student-teacher ratio which could possibly result in some areas, in the event there aren’t increased funds available next year through state or local sources. How much would a two (2) mill increase cost you? Property Cost per Cost for Value month 1976 $5,000 $10.00 $ .83 $10,000 $20.00 $1.67 $15,000 $30.00 $2.50 $20,000 $40.00 $3.33 $25,000 $50.00 : $4.i6 In general schoolsare facing the same financial problems as all of society, that being inflation. General costs for total school p A fO w| «seuGe 4r9'a055tl8ng s Ml' 49058 operation have increased through much higher utility costs, bodes, instructional supplies, equipment including additional school buses, and general costs related to maintenance and operational supplies. The staff has increased in the past two years with the addition of an additional section in both the seventh and eighth grades to help eliminate the large class sizes, an additional teacher in the band-vocal music depart­ ment, and a school nurse. The board of education was able to construct and equip a four room addition to the Jr.-Sr. high school this school year without any additional debt retirement millage to cover the cost of this program. The construction program was covered through funds available in the old building and site account The school district continues to participate in Section 27 of the state aid act which is available to k? f«AWnos . J those scnoui ^tricts levying less than 26 mills for operational purposes. This current school year, the State of Michigan pays $52,008 of the total cost of $75,311 for the payment of debt retirement principal and in­ terest Under current state aid guidelines, the school district would still be eligible for full participation in the Section 27 program through approval of the two millage proposals. The debt retirement millage this school year was .71 mills compared with 3.65 mills in 1973. Under the current state aid act for general operational costs, the state’s share of the cost is 67.9 percent, and the local share of the cost is 32.1 percent of the total amount based upon the equal yield concept. This amount could easily vary some depending upon the state aid program that is approved by the legislature for the 1976-77 school year. Congratulations *76 M.V. graduates— Thousands of people filled the high school gymnasium Sunday afternoon to witness the Maple Valley class of 1976 com­ mencement ceremonies, as 123 seniors received their high school diplomas.

Campbell, Deputy Treasurer r >n County, Michigan, hereby certify that, as of April 30,1976, the records of this Offi. dicate that the total of all voted increases over and above the tax limitation established the Constitution o' Michigan, in any local units of government affecting the taxable property located i ’ Maple Valley Schools, Eaton and Barry Counties, Michigan, is as follows: By Eaton County: By Vermontville Township: By Carmel Township: By Chester Township: None 1.5M None None By Kalamo T By Sunfield 1 By the School ship: Ip: t None .75M None Helen M. Cambpell Deputy Treasurer, Eaton County, Michigan DETROIT AID - Both houses last week agreed to let Detroit impose a garbage tax on its citizens, but they had difficulty agreeing on a bill giving additional financial aid to the city. Argument cen­ tered on inclusion of a Pontiac Stadium subsidy. POLITICAL REFORM Our Supreme Court has not outlines just what would be un­ constitutional in the attempted reform of Michigan political activity. Ruled out are campaign spending limits and broad financial disclosure requirements. TAX TASK FORCE The Governor has now appointed a task force to consider possible, revisions in the Single Business Tax. Send specific proposals or examples of tax inequity to me at the State Capitol, Lansing 48909. LOTTERY EXTENSION - The House recently OK’d HB 6272, which would give the Michigan lottery a new lease on life until July 1,1980. Our lottery has been the nation’s most successful, with 1976-77 revenues estimated at $95 million. FUNDS FLOWING AGAIN - Now that both houses have enacted supplemental appropriations for Social Services, some programs which had run out of money are back in business. Revived programs include adult home help, ambulance services, nursing homes, and hospital care. PBB RECOMMENDATIONS The Governor’s Scientific Ad­ visory Panel has recommended lowering the guidelines for ac­ ceptable levels of PBB in Michigan foodstuffs down to the minimum detectable level. This may require legislative action. However, the panel emphasized that no significant acute effects of PBB have yet been documented in man. ORV REGISTRATION - You can now register your off-road vehicle at any Secretary of State field office. Current registration costs $9 for three years. Specifically excluded from the definition of ORV’s are snowmobiles, farm vehicles and road motorcycles. TAX EXEMPTION Under current law, a homeowner who fixes up his house may find his tax assessment has increased; this tends to discourage repairs. The House has now approved HB 6139, which would exclude for assessment purposes normal repairs and maintenance such as outside painting, landscaping, new siding, plumbing, rewiring, and outdoor lights. DEBTORS’ RIGHTS - A state official recently pointed out that a collection agency cannot lie to a debtor, make anonymous or collect .calls to a debtor, collect more than the legal debt, or employ unlicensed people to collect claims. A collection agency must be licensed.

Why, the Student Council, of course! Just recently, the elections for new officers were held. These people will be representing the students next year: President - Dan Cook, Vice President Tim Burd, Secretary Pam Brown, and Treasurer Kathy Garvey. They will be doing the many jobs which take time and lots of hard work, but which are very important tasks. Some of these jobs consists of: organizaing all homecoming activities, setting up the assemblies, and trying to get new things for the school. This year we had a very successful homecoming and we added a juke box to our lunch room. The new officers have many plans already made for the 76-77 school year and they’re just waiting to spring them on you!

If you make a bad shot, it’s your own fault so it helps to practice on your own. This season the team has 14 matches. FINAL EXAMS by Randy Furlong Were your junior and senior high students acting abnormally quiet the last few days? Spending a large amount of time with their noses in a book? And not doing a lot of playing around? If any of these symptoms applied to your student in the past few days, consider the cause of the illness — EXAMS. Last week Friday and this week Monday and also Tuesday morning, all the MV students, grades seven through twelve, took their exams. Exam time could be considered a sacred time at MV. All students seem to dred the thought of exams but exams serve a dual purpose. The first and usually most known reason is to see just how much knowledge a student has comprehended and retained over the year, but there is a second and hidden reason that many students don’t know. This other reason is to prove to a teacher how great a job he or she has done to prepare a student for life outside the protective halls of the high school. BAND DIRECTOR ILL by Any Lukasewycz Mr. Craig Bartholomew, director of the Sr. High and 5th & 6th grade bands has missed thb closing days of school because a very bad cold. The High School because of a very bad cold. The High School band with director Mr. Bartholomew, have performed at all the home football and basketball games, pep assemblies, performed 3 concerts and marched in three parades. The 5th and 6th graders had one personal appearance, which in Mr. Bartholomew’s words was super. The high school's bands last two appearances of the year (Memorial Day Parade and Graduation) were directed by Jr. High director Mr. Steven Hale.

The Redskins jumped on Lion ace GEORGE OWEN for a 4-0 lead after four innings, and with the help of a couple of ‘lucky’ plays it stayed that way till the bottom of the seventh: with 2 out and MARK BENTON on first, ART STEWART doubled to put a run on the board for MV.

But the high number of these crimes suggests a lot of people have forgotten exactly how serious they are. Take checks, for example. A person who writes a check for $50 or more and knows that his or her account account cannot cover it, has committed a felony. It is punishable by up to a year in the county jail or a $500 fine.

GIRLS MAPLE VALLEY ABOUT LEARN GOVERNMENT by Vicki Bennett Making up and running a government is a difficult task. Many people jsit back and criticize our government and politicians, even the President. But Rose Frith can tell you different. Among 100 students selected <■ represent schools in different areas, Rose was chosen to represent MV. She was taken to Olivet College for two weeks to learn the problems and procedures that go into setting up a government. Many students were confused at first with some procedures but in the end everyone could understand what the. procedure was about. Sponsored by the Alvin Bently foundation in honor of this deceased Michigan US Representative, the concept of teaching youths to be responsible active citizens is operated in this way. The program at Olivet College was taught to these students so Auto Service Center Mobil that they could have some idea on t the organization of committees, elections, trails, etc. Hopefully, this would help have a better understanding in classes later and also could be explained in every day speech to others in helping them understand. Setting up state and local governments, running campaigns and elections, sentencing trials and so on were yital parts introduced in the program. The group also toured the State Capital, and ran the voting machines on the floor of the House of Representatives. During their stay, the dorms at the college were their homes. This also gave the students a taste of college living. All in all, Rose had a winderful stay. She learned a great deal, and announced it was a learning experience every student should go through. “I wish next year that more Juniors will be able to go,” Rose replied, and as the two weeks ended, she was going home, (not by choice for she didn’t want to leave) and arrived in MV halls the next day to repeat her “working” vacation to all.

Gilmer, Republican candidate for State Representative of the 55th District, and Gary Holman, unopposed candidate for the Republican Barry County Prosecuting Attorney in the August 3 primary election, were special guests at the Nashville Chamber of Commerce meeting last Wednesday night. Gilmer, 30, a farmerbusinessman, owns Hillcrest Orchards in Augusta in partnership with his father and brother. In the 1974 primary election, Gilmer was defeated by incumbent Wayne Sackett by less than 30 votes. Gilmer feels that people like to see more of their politicians and know what they’re accomplishing following the Watergate incident. Gilmer said the state representative office can be handled more aggressively and be more active in the district communities. He added that the office must be an effective advocate of the communities and speak in behalf of the people. The candidate said he will seek out and communicate more with the people of the district, which is the only way to know the problems in the area. He added that he likes working in small communities, as they are what he is most accustomed to. Gilmer said there has been little meaningul legislation to ease the burden of the taxpayer during the past two years. “We need representation that has the energy to seek our views and act on them, representation that informs you of what is going on in Lansing, in short, representation that informs you of what is going on in Lansing, in short, representation that Michigan Farm Bureau,. represents,’’ he said.

Sollengarger, chairman of the American Trucking Associations (ATA) warned today. A nationwide survey of more than 900 trucking firms, Sollenbarger said, indicates vital small town freight service now required by the Interstate Commerce Commission would be dropped as unprofitable or marginal if that service is no longer mandated. “I also expect shipping costs in these areas to skyrocket under deregulation,’,’ he said. “The total effect annually would be to add millions of dollars to the costs of goods and services in small towns.” The ICC currently requires, as part of its licensing procedures, that interstate trucking firms maintain freight service to small or isolated communities on their routes. This is important to areas where rail or water transportation has been discontinued or is unavailable. "Better than three out of five carriers, if deregulated, would drop small town truck service as unprofitable, according to our poll,” Sollenbarger said. The Ford administration proposed to Congress last fall a general phasing out of ICC control over the $23 billion-a-year interstate trucking industry, and in May unveiled another deregulation plan. Legislation incorporating the proposals has Continued on page 10 and Eleanor (Yinger) Walton, who was a member of the class in the 3rd and 4th grades, when her father was the minister of the Methodist church in Nashville.

Ten mills will be used in the General Fund, five mills for street repair, and two mills for the sewer debt. The council also voted for a $16,718 street paving project to be done this summer. The streets to be paved are Lenz St., from Sherman St to Washington St.; Francis St. east from M-66 900 feet east; Francis St west from M-66 to Durky St.; Reed St., from Main St. to Cleveland St (wedge only); and Center, Court and Chapel Streets. Police Chief, Kendall Wilcox, told the council that the police cruiser was recently inspected, and it was discovered that the transmission oil was scorched. The mechanic said it was caused since the transmission is factory stock and not a heavy duty police package as the village had ordered. Village officials will meet with a Ford representative on June 16 to see if the Ford Motor Company did not meet specifications that were ordered, and decide what will be done to correct it. Lois Elston was appointed deputy village clerk by the council. She will perform the duties of clerk on occasions that village clerk Susan Corkwell should be unavailable. The council voted to have the village “Green Thumb” application sent to Putnam Public Library, as it feels a “Green Thumb” employee is no longer needed t the village office.

It offers professional training in 26 topics from A (ailing horse first aid) to Z (zeroing in on the winner’s circle). Others include management, breaking and training, horse nutrition, hunting and jumping, breeding, investing in a horse, veterinary problems, and stable management. “Open to beginning and experienced horsemen, enrollees have ranged from 12 to 70 years old and come from all walks of life. Students can attend lectures, watch demonstrations, and practice what they have' learned,” Dunn says. Larry Kasten is one of five professional persons comprising the basic Horses A to Z team. He teaches classes in horse genetics, correcting vices and bad habits, bits and bitting, and the use and misuse of tack. Kasten is in charge of the extension horse science program at the University of Wisconsin - River Falls, and is a recognized authority on showing and training performance horses.

Congress debated the resolutions on Saturday, then adopted the following on Monday, June 10: “Resolved: That these United Colonies are, and ofright ought to be, free and independent states; that they are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown; and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britian is and ought to be totally dissolved.” Then followed the appointment of committees to prepare a Declaration, a plan for a confederation and treaties with foreign nations.

Livingston of New York. Reconciliationists were able to postpone final consideration of the Declaration for three weeks, but all signs pointed to the inevitability of a final break. News that Britain had hired 20,000 German mercenaries to subdue Americans only added fuel to the fire. New Hampshire, New Jersey, Virginia and South Carolina all broke the tie by adopting constitutions that did not acknowledge British authority. A Tory plot in New York to assassinate General Washington and his officers did little to aid the British cause, especially when Governor Tryon and the Tory mayor of New York were implicated in the plot. Public sentiment, as well as it could be tested, strongly favored a break. Massachusetts, towns voted heavily in favor, while four battalions of soldiers in Philadelphia, comprising about 2,000 officers and men, registered only four officers and twenty-five men opposed to independence. n one one coones a had a one by one,,their colonies that And not instru ycted delegates to snuoppnosrtruicndeepenederncee ecghaaensgedo Continued page 8 USHERS IMF SIH SEWER • • • • TIMEX WATCHES ELECTRIC RAZORS TRAVEL KITS KODAK CAMERAS & FILM • • • • LITRONIX CALCULATORS PAPERMATE PEN SETS PIPES & ACCESSORIES AND MUCH MORE- REGULAR $11.00 Kod AMITY BILLFOLDS ^-7.98 DAD-Come in and pick up your FREE PEN for Father’s Day! ® Simon Pharmacy | JOHN SIMON, R.

Corkwell, Clerk The Regular Meeting of the Nashville Village Council , was called to order by President George Frith with Jim Wynes and Dick Martin absent.

Nash BUDGET BALK - Ignoring his own timetable, the Democrat House Speaker has said that budget bills for schools, mental health and social services may not be passed until fall. And then, the spending levels may exceed revenue estimates. PACKAGE PLAN - The House and Senate have finally agreed on a bill to give some $28 million to the city of Detroit and to continue the $800,000 state subsidy for the Pontiac stadium. It passed the House with no votes to spare. REPAIR COMPLAINTS - The new auto repair law is still in limbo, but in the meantime you can again call for state help in settling repair disputes. In Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties call 357-5108; elsewhere, 1-800-292-4204, toll free. CAMPAIGN FUNDING - Back before the House is a bill to provide public funding of campaigns for governor (HB 6350). It is almost the same as a provision contained in the political-activity law passed last year which was ruled unconstitutional because it contained too many subjects in one measure. GROCERY PRICING + The Governor now has on his desk SB 1155, which requires grocery stores to put individual prices on most items. The bill is viewed by many as another case of featherbedding supported by labor leaders. OPEN MEETINGS - A bill which has generated some controversy is now before the House. SB 920 adds enforcement provisions to current requirements that public bodies hold their meetings in open session and give prior notice; it also lists exceptions to open-meeting requirements. Some say it’s too strong; others say it doesn’t go far enough. UP IN THE AIR - A relatively new and very popular event will begin this week in north-western lower Michigan: The National Soaring and Hang Gliding 4 Festival will be held June 19 through 27 in Frankfort That’s certainly putting hot air to good use! ORV CONSENT - Two bills now before the House would further restrict the range of off-road vehicles and snowmobiles. Under HB 6219 and 6221, a driver of such vehicles would have to have a property owner’s written consent before he could drive on that property. NEW LOTTERY? - A specialpurpose lottery will soon be voted on by the House. HB 6231 would establish a bicentennial lottery for 1976, to raise $10 million for the construction of a state library and museum complex in Lansing. Area senior citizens guests at bicentennial dinner Senior Citizens of Belle me and Nashville were guests at Maple Leaf Grange Sunday, June 13th for dinner. The tables were set for 120. Mr. and Mrs. Cedi Dye were given corsages for being married the longest, and Mr. and Mrs. Clifton Mason were given sorsages for being married the most recently. Sylvester VanHorn received a bouquet of roses for being the oldest person present Gifts were given to many with lucky numbers. Gayle Ainslie, Master of the Maple Leaf Grange, was M.C. The program opened with community singing. Josephine Mapes gave a dever reading. Bellevue Methodist Church choir sang several numbers. Jeff Weiler of Vermontville gave three readings, one in German, then in English, “A Horse Race,” and “I Had But Fifty Cents”. Guy Allwardt read some original poems, and the “All American Band” dosed the program with several selections which all enjoyed. �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, June16,1976 — Page 3 Armyworms may be marching on Michigan crops— Michigan ^-small grain croplands could be in for another s g of the armyworm, siege yw , w which last year caused thousands of dollars damage. Michigan State University Entomologist Robert Ruppei says the pest has already been detected in “abundant numbers” in Allegan and Van Buren counties. Last year, during the worst attack in the state’s history, the armyworm ranged from Cass to Schoolcraft counties and clear across the state. “I’m not predicting a repeat of last year, but I am a little gunshy. That onslaught caught a lot of growers offguard, and the key to adequate control is early detection,” Dr. Ruppei says.

A unique educational publication describing how prescription prices are computed and listing important pharmacy services has just been released by the state professional society of pharmacists. “We have focused on the patient’s right to know,” Stated Louis Sesti, Executive Director of the Michigan Pharmaceutical Association. “We want the public to know what they’re paying for, how that charge was computed and the true value of the services pharmacists offer.” The new publication, entitled “Your Pharmacy Bill of Rights,” informs the public about im­ portant factors to consider in selecting a pharmacy, including reasonable charges and a con­ venient location. “Pharmacists and pharmacy services are an integral part of today’s health care system. Many of the most important functions of the pharmacists are what you can’t see because they are based on special education and knowledge, as explained in the publication,” stated Mr. Sesti. The special paper also ad­ dresses such issues as how much the cost of a prescription drug rose in the past eight years, how the average prescription dollar is spent and what the requirements are to become a professional licensed Michigan pharmacist.

It was a rewarding evening, as many of our boys have been working so diligently these past months, that we had to show them recognition by giving them awards.

The highest award a Cub Scout can earn is the Arrow of Light, which is earned when you are in Webelos.

Late in June, General Sir Henry Clinton and Admiral Sir Peter Parker, having abandoned North Carolina after the defeat of Scottish Loyalists at Moore’s Creek Bridge in February, attempted without success to take Charleston, South"Carolina. In this contest, Clinton’s army was practically useless, Parker’s fleet was badly mauled by American batteries, and Admiral Parker was chagrined by having part of his pants shot off and was wounded in the hip and knee. The Charleston defeat brought the following account from an English correspondent: “My wife is quite an American, and every conquest the Americans make, every battle they win, and every one of our ships they take, she says Providence is on their side, and it is only fighting against the wind to continue the contest. I am on the opposite side, and we have many interesting broils, or civil wars about it.” His wife taunted him on every occasion, and even contrived situations that antagonized him, so that *he referred to her as “my enemy.” After one such contrivance, he declared in disgust, “I well knew the design of this burlesque, so I threw down my pipe with a vengeance, and secured a retreat, being fully sensible I could not, like the brave Sir Peter Parker, silence her battery.” Thus the British-American conflict not only fostered American liberation, but also demonstrated the need for men’s liberation.

But truck deregulation has drawn considerable fire from smaller towns which fear they would lose necessary truck freight service. Last December the National League of Cities adopted a resolution opposing the deregulation plan “since it poses a threat to continuance of service to small communities.” According to Sollenbarger, there is good reason for small towns to be concerned because the ATA poll indicates every state except Hawaii would lose service to some communities. “Hardest hit,” he said, “would be towns of 5,000 or less people.” Four-fifths of the firms responding to the poll also say they believe broad-scale deregulation of the trucking industry would very likely result in temporary rate wars, the failure or bankruptcy of many small truck firms and eventual decrease in transportation services, especially to small communities. Just under half of those polled predict acquisition on of small truck firms by large ones would very likely happen as a result of deregulation, and three-quarters foresee an eventual increase in shipping costs to consumers. More than a third of the nation’s consumers live in population centers of 5,000 or less. “Our concern,” Sollenbarger Maple Leaf and Bellevue Granges and Boy Scouts of Bellevue wish to extend a big DID YOU KNOW?

It’s not unusual for trucking firms to travel twenty or thirty miles to make a single small delivery, and it’s obvious that kind of service would be quickly eliminated if firms are not required by regulation to offer it.” Repeating the ATA’s opposition deregulation j plans, to Sollengarger said that more than half the nation’s freight now moves by truck and that loss of interstate service to small towns is only one of the severe national dislocations economic deregulation would cause.

Nashville-Councilman resigns Thursday nite Nashville Village president George Frith reported at the village meeting Thursday night, that councilman Dick Martin wished to be granted permission to resign from his position on the council because of conflicts with his job. The council accepted Martin’s request. President Firth proposed to have Jerry Kent, a former councilman, fill the vacancy on the council. The council accepted Kent as the replacement. Tim Smith, Director of Public Works, told the council that Bill Hecker of the Hecker Agency could not insure the old grist mill much longer and the village would soon lose its liability insurance on the old structure. Councilman Ray Hinckley added that village attorney Dick Shaw would not discuss the sale of the mill, and its liabilities, with the non-profit organization that wishes to purchase the building until it is granted its incorporation papers. Linda Taylor, representative for the organization, has not informed the village of its progress for serveral weeks. She said that the papers were expected soon when she last contacted the village. Councilman Tom Oleson reported that the new police car was indeed what the village had ordered from the Ford Motor Company. However, a Ford representative told him the carburetor rattles, and radiator leak would be repaired, and the transmission pump checked. Oleson also presented the new police rules and regulations, which were accepted by the council. The council voted to extend the Neal’s Garbage pickup contract for another 60 days, at which time they will decide about future pickup service. A public hearing will be held at the Nashville fire barn at 7 p.m. July 12. Vermontville Syrup Queen, Kim Zemke, and her court members wave to the people living the street.

Telephone.. 945-9554 Hastings ' • Number 7, Wednesday, June 30, 1976 Nashville celebrates our country’s 200th with festivities— Warm sunshine, a good crowd, and old-fashioned spirit were ingredients that made the Nashville Bicentennial celebration, headed by Amy Boughton and the Bicentennial project committee, a success Saturday. An Arts and Crafts Show, horseshoe pitching tournament, and softball tournament were day-long activities for the people to enjoy. The celebration officially got underway at 11 a.m. with the start of the parade, co-chaired by Mary Ellen Wynes and Kathy Nickel. The Nashville, Barry County, and Michigan State Police sirens signaled the start of the parade as they led the procession down Main Street. Many of the sights were familiar as the Shriners Club Mini-Car Patrol made their crazy eights, and the Barry County Sheriff’s Posse sat tall atop their prancing steeds. The Vermontville Syrup Queen, Kim Zemke and her court, and the Charlotte Pioneer Queen greeted the crowd. Baton twirlfers, including the miniature variety, displayed their talents. The V.F.W., Nashville Fire Department, Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts, Bluebirds and Campfire Girls, 4-H Saddle Club, Maple Valley Cooperative Nursery, Bud’s Duds Square Dance group and other local clubs made their appearance. It looked like a scene from a “Gunsmoke” episode, as covered wagons, ponycarts, and children and adults dressed in pioneer garb (to help celebrate the theme of the day) moved down the street. With election time nearing, Republican Wayne Sackett were present. Nashville president George Frith and council members also took part A long line of antique cars, Maple Valley Implement, I.G.A., Heritage Bible Church, and Assembly of God and others also took part in the event. The Arts and Crafts Show, chaired by Eunice Priddy, had 81 exhibitors display their wares, with 35 artists entering the best Bicentennial work of art contest The $150 purchase winner for that contest was Kathy Nickel of Nashville. The check was presented by the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. The painting will be on display in Security National Bank and Continued next page Kids enjoy the ride on the I.G.A. float.

The proceeds of the raffle will be used to help pay for the softball diamond project, sponsored by the Bicentennial committee, now underway behind the stores in downtown Nashville. Many people took part in the horseshoe pitching tournament in Putnam Park throughout the weekend. It was sponsored by the Wolverine State Horseshoe Pitching Association. There will be another tournament this coming weekend. The Nashville Baptist Church and the Softball Association sponsored Kids Games in the afternoon for the youngsters. The softball tournament was conducted to help pay for the diamond constructed at the end of Sherman Street by the Hecker Agency softball team. Kay Joseph was the chairperson for the children’s Bicentennial costume contest The celebratieh continued into the evening with a stage show and fireworks display behind the Fuller Street School, and a dance at the Nashville Fire Barn. The Stage Show, sponsored by the Nashville Lions Club, featured performances by the Senior Citizens Kitchen Band from Lansing, directed by Iris Fehrer, and magician Gregg Stambaugh of Sunfield. The Senior Citizens treated the audience to such old stand-by tunes as “Anchors Away”, “Springtime in the Rockies”, “Grand OF Flag”, “She’ll be Cornin’ ‘Round the Mountain”, “Yankee Doodle Dandy” and much more. Eva Gipe, 70, did a titalating rendition of “Lady of Spain”, and Howard Gipe, 77, tap dancedall over the stage. The stage was provided by Russ Furlong. Gregg Stambaugh turned in a professional performance that included magic, comedy, and a musical number. He won the hearts of the young and old alike. The Bicentennial dance, featuring the Rick Rodriguez Band, at the fire barn concluded the day’s activities with lots of socializing, dancing, and that old­ time friendly spirit. The Bicentennial project committee plan to make the dance an annual event to help pay for the softball diamonds and recreational park in Nashville.

There's Only One Judge Running on August 3 Judge Willard L. Mikesell The Circuit Court, the only Court of general civil and criminal jurisdiction, as well as the Court that handles appeals from the District and Probate Court: •Requires a person of extensive legal and judicial experience. •Requires a person with mature judgment and a genuine sense of fairness to everyone. Of the four candidates running for the important post of Judge of the Fifth Judicial Circuit Court, for Eaton and Barry Counties, there is only one experienced Judge...Judge Willard L. Mikesell. The upcoming August 3 primary election should be of vital interest to every segment of our society—labor, management, homemakers, re­ tirees, teachers and professionals. We’re all interested In the same things: safety within our homes, safety In obr streets. Judge Mikesell believes that the best deterrent to crime is the certainty of prompt apprehension, a swift, fair trial and the certainty of punishment if convicted. Eaton and Barry Counties show a dropping crime rate, while the crime rate for the rest of the state, and the nation as a whole, rs soaring. In Judge Mikesell’s words: "The crime rate here reflects the care and concern of the people in electing public officials. A safe community starts with the people. They are the ones who hold the key to authority and power. The people, in turn, give that power to the public officials whom they elect and who reflect the public's wishes.*’ "So I feel, therefore, that the counties' record is really a reflection of the people, all police agencies and prosecutors operating within these two counties, and finally, District and Circuit Courts. No one group can take more or less responsibility than the other. For it is a blend In a way of thinking that is instilled into every public official starting at the ballot box, which in turn spills over into the streets.** Judge Mikesell needs your vote and. support on August 3.

A typical day camp begins with all campers gathering around the flag pole for opening ceremonies at 9:30. Then a catchy “Announcements” song is sung, where campers get last minute instructions for that days activities. Then the girls go to their designated units. Units consist of 20 to 25 girls of the same scouting level, with 2 or more adult counselors and perhaps being assisted by a Cadette scout acting as a camp aid. The 8 units at Camp Frances included 2 Brownie units, 1 Flyup unit, (made up of 3rd graders) 2 Junior units, a nursery and boys unit (Nursery & boys were the small children of the volunteer counselors.) Back at the units, daily roll call was taken, then the group began “doing their own thing”. Some of their activities included, stone painting, lashing, carving, nature lessons, hikes, song sessions, sand casting, outdoor cooking, and some badge work. Each unit was provided with a 12 x 14 ft. canvas kitchen fly and a unit basket which contained items such as clothesline & pins, matches, tape, and soap. Other craft items were provided for their use and large equipment such as shovels, saws, grills and other cooking tools were checked out from the main building as units needed them.

At 2:30 around the flag pole, camp is again dismissed and the smaller girls went home. However, because there was so much equipment which could not be taken down each night, the camp was' attended by the Cadette Aids and an adult who stayed with them, all sleeping on the cabin floor in sleeping bags. Adults who stay to chaperone these girls need the following specifications: partially hard of hearing (so you won’t hear the blarring radio playing over the sound of lots of laughter), a stomach that will digest all kinds of “snack junk food”, you must be skilled at playing a dozen kinds of crazy card games, not get tired until midnight, and have soft back bones to withstand the hard cabin poor, (all in fun girls, I really enjoyed your company!)

This year a Brownied unit put together a camp circus, complete with acts, costumes, and baloons for everybody. The small basement area limited this years show which usually is made up of “shoe & tell” time by each unit, songs, silly skits and camp awards being handed out.

A total of 994 people said they would not favor the creation of a nine-member, politicallyappointed commission to control all undeveloped lands in Michigan.. Only 206 people said* they favored creation of such a commission. “The issue of land use seems to have died in the House Appropriations Committee where it couldn’t muster enough votes to make it to the full membership,” Nash said. “I think the opinions of the residents in my district are indicative of those all over the state and lawmakers should listen to what the people are telling us. “They want to have the authority over what they can do with their land. They don’t want more government government bureaucracy bureaucracy more telling them what they can and can’t do.” The second question asked if the respondent would supportt a graduated income tax proposal. Some 694 responded “no”, while 560 said “yes”. “Voters might be asked to decide this question when they go to the polls in November,” Nash said. “There is a petition drive in progress toopace place thee issue ssueon on thee ballot and there is a resolution in the legislature presenting a different form of graduated income tax which also might be on the ballot. households About 630 responded to the questions which accompanied a newsletter mailed to the residents in Nash’s district.

That’s when horsepower generated by steam and gasoline engines took over from the four-footed kind, and America became the wonder of the industrial and agricultural worlds.” “Our sixth annual Antique Gasoline Engine Show”, the park director continues, “is particularly appropriate as part of our Bicentennial celebration because those who attend can see the actual engines that put America on wheels go into action once again.” “From 10:00 A.M. until 5:00 P.M. on July 10 and 11, steam and gasoline engines will hiss, pop and roar into operation at the park. Among the jobs they’ll perform will be the grinding of whole wheat flour, the grinding of com meal, the operation of an old-fashioned cream separator, and the action of a 1925 Baker Threshing Steam Engine that powers a shingle mill. Buzz sawing and wood splitting will also be performed. One of the vintage engines on display is the 1897 Olds Flame Ignitor, designed by R.E. Olds of Oldsmobile and Reo fame. From 1927, there’s a Rumely Oil-Pull Tractor built in Battle Creek by a company that became part of Allis-Chalmers. There’s a fully restored 1985 D John Deere tractor on hand and an ancient 1916 Avery tractor will be running. It is one of the very few of this make still in operation. Gasoline power made life a little easier for the ladies at the turn of the century, too, as evidenced by the primitive washig machines that are part of the display. Daily events will include an Antique Tractor Parade at 11 A.M. and 2 P.M., followed by a Quick-Start Competition, a Slow Race to determine which tractor can deliver power at the slowest speed and a hrilling Tractor Teeter-Totter contest. On Sunday, only, some high-wheel bicycles will join the festivities. All events occur in the environs of an authentic Michigan village of the 1850’s that has been re­ created on the banks of the Thornapple River, just off Highway 79 between Hastings and Nashville. Picnic and recreation areas are part of the complex. Admission to the all­ day event is $2.00 for adults, fifty cents for children under 12. Charlton Park is a unique complex and truly at its best when the old village comes to life, awakened by the pop-pops, putputs and roars that propelled the country into unrivalled productivity less than a century ago.

Box A Nashville, Michigan (Phone, Hastings — 945-9554) Volume 103 — Number 8 — Wednesday, July 7, 1976 Bluegrass Music Festival, July 25th. It’s hard to believe. It’s just plain hard to believe that bluegrass music is finding a home in Michigan. The sound that drifted north from the Appalachians and the Ozarks can be found nearly in your own backyard when the Thornapple Bluegrass Music Festival is held at Barry County’s Charlton Park on July 25. It’s a place where bluegrass has settled in comfortably. The pure, old-timey sounds are a perfect blend with the rustic heritage of the park’s restored 1850’s village. Bluegrass is a music that has picked up a growing momentum in the last few years in Michigan. First, it was just a few guitar and banjo pickers who started listening to the crisp, clean sounds being played by Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys and later on picking out the harddriving music of Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. But then, the whole thing started mushrooming. Bluegrass music festivals started popping up here and there across the state. More and more people began to feel the simple pleasure that listening to bluegrass music in the summer sunshine could bring. Last year, Charlton Park’s first bluegrass festival drew some 1600 people - people from five to 65 coming from all kinds of backgrounds. Some came because they liked the park, others because they liked the music. No matter who they were, though, they all felt the music’s perfect harmony with Charlton Park, pronounced the festival a success, and promised to bring along their friends this year. The story of the Thornapple Bluegrass Music Festival tells a lot about how enthusiasm for bluegrass has swept the state and the nation. The music first reached one of the festival planners, Bob Johnston, when he was a student at Western Michigan University. He liked the sounds and joined a bluegrass band. “When I moved to Hastings,” said Johnston, who is now a reporter, “I brought an idea for a bluegrass festival with me.” The wide reach of bluegrass festivals to all sorts of personalities and backgrounds is well displayed in the people who became involved as the festival idea turned to firm plans. Frank Walsh, director of the *park? was attracted by the music’s, unity with the park’s (continued, page 2) Welcome to Nashville Martha Stevens Branch Manager Savings and Loan Grand Opening The new Eaton Federal Savings and Loan branch office in Nashville will hold its Grand Opening July 7-10, from 9-4:30 Wednesday through Friday, and from 9-3 on Saturday.

Maple Valley News Photo �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday July 7,1976 - Page 2 Bluegrass Festival, continuedcharacter. Tim King, manager of a music store, became chairman of the first festival, though he had never been to one. Mark Feldpausch, a carpenter and amateur musician, heard by word-of-mouth about the planning and volunteered to help. Doug Acker, a printer and amateur musician, saw a bluegrass festival as a way to bring music into more people’s lives. Along with Johnston, these people began making contacts across the state to learn how a festival should be organized. They soon found a strong community of bluegrass enthusiasts who were willing to help. As their names became part of that community, they too, were trading tips and ideas with people who, like themselves, wanted bluegrass to reach out to everyone. “To me, it’s easier to say what bluegrass isn’t than what it is,” Feldpausch, chairman of the year’s festival, said at a recent planning session. “It isn’t country-western. It’s not electric or rock. I know that it is a mix of the old-time mountain songs and modern acoustic instruments.” Part of the appeal of bluegrass seems to be its mountain flavor. Until recent times, many of the songs were never written down. They were learned by ear and by heart. Its popularity is being fed by nostalgia and the increasing desire of many Americans to return to the simple life. The songs of bluegrass often sound as lonesome as the train whistle winding through an Appalachian valley; the harmonies are simple, smooth and tight. But bluegrass, unlike many other music types, can quickly turn to a fast-moving, hard-driving, up-tempo sound that makes feet stomp, spoons clack and hands clap. And, it has only been through *bluegrass unique combination of instruments — usually a banjo and bass, mandolin, fiddle, guitar and dobro, which somewhat resembles an Hawaiian guitar that this diversity has been achieved. “Bluegrass makes you feel good whether you’re singing it or listening to it,” Johnston said. “The words are simple - about love, or grief, or home - and the harmonies are basic. The songs sound honest and people like that.” It’s a fact that growing numbers of people do like bluegrass. New groups are always forming and festivals have exploded in both attendance and number held. The Stringbean Memorial Festival in Charlotte grew from about 200 people in 1972 to over 6,000 attending in 1976.

(Reminder photo) people involved are not professionals. The festivals are being organized by people who are just interested, and most times, the performers return on Monday morning to their homes and everyday jobs. All of the groups performing at Charlton Park, groups like Sweet Com, Cabbage Crik, Kathy Ann' and the Sounds of the South and Happy Days, are made up of people who devote their weekdays to careers and weekends to bluegrass. But they are serious about their music. Most of their spare time goes to practicing. They develop the same professionalism as the top touring bluegrass musicians. Swimmers Itch is 'itchy’ (caused by parasites) swimmers itch is a skin infection some bathers are confronted with usually during the months of June and July. Bathers may.contract a skin rash from tiny parasites after swimming in affected waters. 11 is caused by a small parasite, derived from birds, that spend a part of their life cycle in certain species of water snails. These snails release the larva organisms in the water. In their search for a second host, they enter the skin of human bathers where they cause a rash and intense itching. This itching may last for several days until the organisms die. Where persons are in contact with infected waters, we recommend: Upon emerging from the water, briskly rub the skin dry with a towel. This will greatly reduce the number of penetrations. Children should not be permitted to play for extended periods in shallow water. The Barry-Eaton District Health Department requests you to report cases of swimmers itch to their new office, phone 945­ 9516. The Health Department can also advise interested persons about water treatment procedures and how to obtain a permit from D.N.R.

That’s what bluegrass does.” Bluegrass and Charlton Park are able to give people the same feelings. Few things could be more' complementary than listening to the mountain songs that were handed from generation to generation while closely examining a hand-hewn log at the carpenter’s shop or watching a blacksmith shape red hot metal into a nail or a horseshoe. Until they arrive at the park, nestled on the banks of the Thornapple River, few people realize the importance of the festival’s slogan: “Come out and breathe the fresh music.” But when they do arrive, they see that bluegrass has, indeed, found a home. The music begins at noon on Sunday, July 25. For $2 for adults and 50c for children, you can listen to some of the best that bluegrass has to offer, tour a restored stage coach inn, see an excellent collection of artifacts in the museum and walk into the past at the one room school house and the village church. Bring along a picnic lunch and relax along with riverbanks. Take advantage of the new swimming beach and recreation facilities. Charlton Park is located at 2545 S.

It’s unhurried, uncluttered, unwilling to become pseudo sophisticated and somewhat reluctant to accept "very “new fangled” idea as real progress. The spirit of Michigan’s prosperous lumbering era, for example, is alive and well and resides quietly in Huron City. This charming village is a preservation of an impressive and illustrious past The town was built by Langdon Hubbard about 1855 and became the center of operations for the Hubbard sawmill and extensive timber holdings. Forest fires destroyed the town in 1871 and again in 1881. Hubbard rebuilt the city both times, first to continue the lumbering enterprise, but the second time as an agricultural and trading center. Seven buildings line the main street of Huron City today, three of which stand on their original foundations. Each of the buildings house authentic (many original) furnishings and and fixtures, artifacts memorabilia refelcting the many facets of its thriving past and notable residents. There’s the chink and mortar log cabin, circa 1825, the Langdon Hubbard General Store, Community House Inn, carriage shed, Coast Guard Station, Huron City Church where the pulpit eloquence of Professor William Lyon Phelps attracted a mammouth congregation from hundreds of miles for forty summers, and, the new fireproof brick museum which contains much of Professor Phelps’ valuable summer library. Several of the walls of the museum are adorned with murals depicting pioneer life in Huron City, painted by Mrs. Annabel Phelps. Instead of her signature, Mrs. Phelps identified her work with her red Irish setter, Rufus. Edgar A. Guest, Michigan’s poet laureate, was a close friend and golfing buddy of Professor Phelps. In 1935, Mr. Guest wrote a poem about the Huron City Church where the pulpit eloquence of Professor William Lyon Phelps attracted a mammouth congregation from hundreds of miles for forty summers, and, the new fireproof brick museum which contains much of Professor Phelps’ valuable summer library. Several of the walls of the museum are adorned with murals depicting pioneer life in Huron City, painted by Mrs. Annabel Phleps. Instead of her signature, Mrs. Phelps identified her work with her red Irish setter, Rufus. Edgar A. Guest, Michigan’s poet laureate, was a close friend and golfing buddy of Professor Phelps. In 1935, Mr. Guest wrote OPEN LETTER The religious funeral is usually public so that members of the bereaved's religious community can share their emotional and spiritual sup­ port and join in the affirma­ tion of belief.

Sugar beets are another major commodity of the county and the large processing plant of the Michigan Sugar Company at Sebewaing on Saginaw Bay, injure next year’s alfalfa seeding if rate of two pounds or more per acre had been used on the 1975 com crop. Injury to the alfalfa will be severe and possibly result in a stand failure if the application a year before the alfalfa seeding was one or two pounds and the application two years before alfalfa was four pounds to control quackgrass. A generalized recommendation is that if AAtrex is used at the recommended four pound per acre rate to control quackgrass, Com should be grown another year, preferably two, without AAtrex to eliminate carryover effect on seeded alfalfa. Suggested herbicide combinations to use on com in the year or years prior to seeding alfalfa are given in Extension Bulletin E-434, “Weed Control on Field Crops.” The Extension Office urges farmers to keep an accurate record of rates of herbicide application to eliminate the danger of AAtrex injury to alfalfa seedings.

At this meeting we were honored with the presence of Representative Wayne Sackett, Mr. Gaft, a member of the taxation committee from Berrien County, Jave Love, supervisor of Assyria Twp., Theodore McKelvey of Maple Grove, Joel Welty of Prairieville Twp. At this meeting we made the move to go to our township hall on June 10 to make signs to carry at the Capitol. On June 15th we went to Lansing, met several Representatives, Senator Richard Allen and others from the Capitol.

I can see again A Bay City marketing analyst, an attractive Cass City grandmother and an eight-year old Hudson girl have some important things in common. All have had successful corneal transplants and can see again, thanks to the Michigan Eye-Bank and its supporting Lions Clubs. “You don’t realize how much your sight means to you until you lose it and then get it back again,” Donald J. Massnick, a double corneal transplant recipient, said. “I take nothing for granted any more.” A Bay City area resident, Massnick now is manager of marketing information systems for The Dow Chemical Company in Midland. But 20 years ago, blindness threatened to end his career. In 1960, he received one of the first of hundreds of successful corneal transplants that have been performed in Michigan since the birth, in 1957, of the Michigan Eye-Bank. Both Massnick and Mrs. Marilyn McDonald of Cass City suffered from “keratoconus,” an eye condition in which the cornea becomes cone-shaped. In their cases, the corneas broke, resulting in blindness. After two years on the waiting list of the eye-bank at The University of Michigan Medical Center, Massnick was told that a cornea was available for transplantation. “I was scared to death,” he admitted. “Eye transplants were fairly new then and I guess you might say it was a feeling of eeriness.” Although healing and adjustment to the new tissue was a slow process, he recalled, “Every morning, I’d get up and see something that I hadn’t seen for years.” In 1962, a second transplant restored sight to his other eye. “That time, I could hardly wait,” he said. For the first time in nearly 20 years, he not only had sight, but depth of field, which is not possible without two eyes. “I would do little things like look at trees and blades of grass and remember when I couldn’t see those things,” he said. He joined the EssexvilleHampton Lions Club and has worked to further the eye-bank program at both the state and local levels. Describing her visual problem, Mrs. McDonald said, “I had a lot of difficulty in school because I couldn’t see to read — I just had to remember everything.” She had married and her two daughters were in their early teens when one of her corneas broke, destroying the minimal sight remaining in that eye. Ona waiting list for two and one-half years, it was her turn, in 1968, to receive a new cornea. Her second transplant took place in A&N Excavating Inc.

Active and versatile, she also does both office and sales work for a local clothing store. “I’m really very appreciative -1 know what it would have been like if I hadn’t had it," she said of her transplant surgery. “I think it has made me a much more outgoing person than I ever was before.” Pretty little Arnie Barnes of Governor’s task force to hold property tax hearings Governor Milliken’s Advisory Task Force on Property Tax Revision will be providing an opportunity for the public to respond to their interim report at seven public hearings scheduled around the state for this summer. Lieutenant Governor James J. Damman is the chairman of the task force which is charged with the responsibility of completely studying all aspects of the property tax system and recommending those administrative, constitutional or statutory changes they deem appropriate. In early July an interim report will be presented to the Governor from the task force which consists of the directors of the Department of Management and Budget, the Department of Education, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Treasury, and the Governor’s Special Assistant for Education. The interim report will present alternatives to the present property tax system. All aspects of the property tax system are being studied. A review is being made of the effectiveness in administration of the property tax, including assessments, equalization and appeals. The purpose and effectiveness of current property tax relief programs are being studied with particular emphasis on the “circuit-breaker” property tax credit program and other exemptions. Proposals are being studied which would equalize the ability of local units to provide public services and a review is being made of the property tax as it is used to finance public education and its relationship to equal educational opportunities. The schedule of public hearings is as follows: 1) Monday, July 12 at 1 p.m. in Notice BUD’S DUDS ICE CREAM DANCE, July 17, 7:30 to 11 p.m. at the Vermontville Fire Barn. All square dancers welcome.

It’s very rare to have tissue from a child of that age," she said. After a hurried family conference, the surgery was scheduled for the following day. Mrs. Barnes has since pledged her own eyes. “Ifs sad that more people don’t realize what that can mean to another person. I like to think that when I die, a part of me will live on in someone else,” she said. Often, as Arnie goes to bed, she says in her prayers, “I feel bad that the parents had to lose their little boy, but I thank you, God, that he left me his eyes.” Further information about the eye-bank may be obtained from your local Lions Club or by writing to a Michigan Eye-Bank Division at The University of Michigan’s Parkview Medical Center in Ann Arbor; Wayne State University’s Kresge Eye Institute in Detroit, or Marquette General Hospital in the Upper Peninsula.

Bill Hecker of the Hecker Agency advised village president George Frith that Nashville’s liability insurance on the land would have to be canceled July 12 if the village did not try to sell the property immediately. To date, the non-profit organization that wished to purchase the mill and convert it into a museum had failed to obtain the incorporation papers necessary to buy the mill and retain the insurance on it. PBS Realty had previously purchased the property to be used as a site for a 12 unit apartment house. But, zoning obstacles presented a problem with some property opposing the multi-dwelling building. Tim Boucher, representing PBS, said it still intended to build a multi-living residential building, and feels that the property can be legally used for multi-residential living. He claims the property is already zoned multi-residential, and will take the issue to court if necessary. With the insurance soon to be canceled, the council could not risk the chance of a liability lawsuit against the village and voted to sell the land at the price offered in the previous PBS deal. The $6,900 will be paid in cash upon the receipt of the deed. The village of Nashville will still retain access to the dam. Originally, the village purchased the property so it could have access to the dam, behind the mill, for repair work. In April,- Linda Taylor, representing the non-profit museum organization, offered the village $500 for the mill. She said the organization was not interested in the land and the village could keep the property deed. Mrs. Taylor said the organization was willing to take responsibility for insuring the 110 year old structure, and hoped the Continued page 2 The 110 year old grist mill along the Thornapple River in Nashville has shown its age unng the recent controversies.

(Maple Valley News Photo) Even though the 4th of July is over, bicentennial celebrations continued last week with a community picnic at the village square in Vermontville on Saturday. Many people gathered with their friends and neighbors from around the community to make the old fashioned picnic a fun time for all. To start things off, the Boy Scouts raised the Library Pole at the museum lawn to symbolize the freedom we now enjoy. A descendant of a centennial sugar maple tree in Niles was also presented to the village of Vermontville. Hildred Peabody, bicentennial chairperson, said the tree would be planted in about 1980. The Vermontville Jaycees sponsored old. fashioned games for the people following the picnic feast. Prizes were donated by Vermontville merchants. The “All Americans” provided music in the evening and also conducted a sing-along. The Vermontville fire department treated the folks to a good old water fight and themselves to a good cooling off. Emcee of the event was Doug Kelsey. Special agent at Hecker Agency John W. Fisher has been appointed a special agent in western Michigan for Auto­ Owners Insurance of Lansing. He will be servicing The Hecker Agency, 227 N. Main St. in Nashville. Fisher,' a native of Grand Rapids, is new to Auto-Owners but has spent six years in the insurance industry as a commercial lines underwriter and underwriter-field representative.

Mrs. Taylor and members of the organization boarded up and secured the mill for insurance reasons, as part of the sales agreement As of last week, the organization had yet to receive its incorporation papers that was said were necessary for the group to buy the mill. The mill was never officially purchased by the organization as a result. In April, Boucher said he was willing to sign a withdrawal of interest on the PBC sales agreement if it could have the first option of purchase should the museum project fail.

The size of the choir is one thing of note. Another is the fact that it is made up of individuals from dioceses all across the country, including four from the Diocese of Kalamazoo. These four and hundreds of other diocesan representatives are busy limbering up their vocal cords and learning a wide selection of music on their own before they pull it all together a few days before the Congress begins. Selected to represent the Kalamazoo Diocese are: Soprano - Mrs. Joyce Ryan, Battle Creek; Alto - Mrs. Ila Shenk, Battle Creek; Tenor - Brother Dave Richards, SM, Kalamazoo; and Bass Mr. Rudolf van Baal, Battle Creek. The four singers from the e were Kalamazoo Diocese were auditions selected from conducted by the Diocesan Worship Committee’s Music Subcommittee. Coordinating the effort were Mr. Geoffrey Wright, Music Director at St.- Monica’s Parish, Kalamazoo; Mr. Calvert Shenk, Organist and Choirmaster at St. Philip Parish, Battle Creek; and Sister Theresa Maclntryre, SSJ, Organist at Holy Family Chapel, Nazareth, and Campus Minister at Nazareth College. Shenk is also working with the choir members to prepare them for the Eucharistic Congress. Practices are held weekly at St. Philip Parish, but learning the music requires a lot more time individually. According to Bass, Rudolf van Baal, learning the music is “all I’ve been thinking about most of the summer.’’ Van Baal said he spends time every day on his own practicing the music. He also works about 70 hours a week at two jobs in the Battle Creek area. Once assembled, the National Eucharistic Choir will join voices in providing choral music for 12 major liturgies during Congress week. Selections range from traditional Gregorian chant to contemporary music composed especially for the Congress. The 41st International Eucharistic Congress is a world­ wide spiritual assembly of Catholics and other Christians to demonstrate their faith, love and commitment to Jesus in the Eucharist.

Many seem confused when they enter college and often change schools and curriculums in their search for the job best suited for their talents. Many complete their schooling, only to discover they made a mistake after they enter the job market. Only about ten per cent of the students remain in the John Simon measures a liquid prescription. (Maple Valley News Photo) Simon Pharmacy has been serving the people of Maple Valley for ten years. (Maple Valley News Photo) career they pursued in school. Then there is the problem of supply and demand, where more students have chosen an occupation than the number of jobs available. Students entering the teaching profession are experiencing this today. Following WWII, one such career was engineering. John Simon, of Simon Pharmacy in Nashville, can contest to that. After high school, Simon entered Grand Rapids Junior College in pursuit of a career in engineerihg. With the war escalating and after one year of school, he joined the Army Air Corps as a fighter pilot, serving in the Aleutian Islands. Upon his return home and with the advancement of the technological age, he discovered an abundance of students entering the field of engineering. Then Simon met his wife, the former Wilma Louise Corey of Big Rapids, and enrolled at Ferris State College in the field of Pharmacy. “I was always interested in the sciences, Ferris had one of the best pharmacy programs in the state, and my wife lived in the area, so everything just kind of fell into place.” His first job was with Medical Arts Apothecary in Grand Rapids, where he worked as a pharmacist for ten years. He then sold surgical and medical supplies in the Grand Rapids area with the same business for seven years. During this time he also worked part-time in various drug stores to help them out. In addition, he worked in hospital and nursing home pharmacies. In July, 1966, Simon bought the present Simon Pharmacy store in Nashville. “I always had the desire to own a store in the back of my mind,” said Simon. “I had been looking for quite awhile and finally reached the time of decision.” “Nashville is the kind of town I was looking for, and I feel it can be the ‘hub’ of rural living,” said Simon. “It’s a very pretty place, and is centrally located between the larger cities. I like the small town atmosphere it presents.” Simon said there are four things that a pharmacist, who wishes to buy a drug store, should experience before going into business. He feels they should work-in a small town store, a suburban store, an apothecary, and should sell medical supplies on the road. “All drug store owners should have this background that is necessary to understand the various relationships with patients that you can’t acquire in school. It’s a good study of human nature.” Simon enjoys his work and all of its responsibilities. “The pharmacist must guide his patients and make sure they (ake the right dosage. If they don’t, it could be harmful. He must make sure a new prescription doesn’t conflict with other drugs the patient may be taking. The components of various drugs can interact and create unfavorable reactions.” Simon has records on each patient and the drugs they’ve taken that date back to 1967. “I’ve had occasions where I had to call the doctor back because he had prescribed a drug that t conflicted with another the patient was taking.

The position was vacated when. Jim Wynes took a job as superintendant of schools in Atlanta, Michigan. Hartenburg first came to Maple Valley in 1959, teaching at Vermontville High School until 1964. He then took a job as a salesman before starting at Maple Valley Jr.-Sr. High School in 1970. Since then he has taught, served as community education director, and assistant principal and athletic director. Hartenburg has his B.A. and _M.A. from Michigan State University, and is currently working on his Specialist degree from M.S.U. “I see no major curriculum, text book, or philosophy changes,” said Hartenburg. “His views (Wynes) and my views on education are very similiar. “I feel fortunate that we have healthy family and parental support of our educational system, something not all schools have. Most~of our students value education also. “The biggest change we’ll make next year will be a new attendance policy that will be enforced,” said Hartenburg. “I also wish we could have a middle school in the near future,” he added. “There is too much of an age difference between the junior high and senior high school students.” hartenburg and his wife, Audrey, are originally from Eaton Rapids. The Hartenburgs have four children, Julie 17, Gretchen 16, Rachel 12, and Kurt 9. The Burr Hartenburg family members are (on couch, left to right) Gretchen, Audrey, Burr, Julie, (seated on floor) Rachel, and Kurt..

Art Stewart of Nashville, hopes to make that dream a reality. The 6-ft. 155-lb. outfielder was recently contacted by Cincinatti Reds scout, Fred Hayes, and was invited to the team’s tryout camp in Lansing last week. “The competition was tough,” said Stewart, there were alot of good ballplayers there.” Stewart, 18 and a 1976 Maple Valley High School graduate, started playing Little League when he was 8 years old, and has played baseball ever summer since. He has played on the Maple Valley Junior League, Connie Mack, American Legion, and the J.V. and Varsity Baseball teams at Maple Valley High School. This year Stewart batted .424, belted two homers, and drove in 19 runs for the Maple Valley Varsity Baseball team, and was named to the Associated Press All-State Class C first team. He was also picked on the Tri­ Central Athletic Association team, and was voted the MVP by his teammates. Stewart struck out only 4 times all season. Stewart hit .388, .468, and .346, his first three seasons respectively at Maple Valley High School. He was named to the All-Conference first team as a junior, when he set a school records with 26 hits that year. He broke his own record this season with 28 hits. Obviously, Stewart is a good hitter, and he attributes much of his batting success to his father, Harold Stewart “He used to pitch to me in the backyard when I was just a young kid,” said Stewart. “Art was always a good natural § .totam *»*tss tss fWlSJEh HL ! ®i®Wj I afi« ■0’ WiW® tail ®(1®k nta i WlitoijMj is n ^:®!a I 'affiitKfe , I P*tata hitter,” added Harold Stewart Stewart also has a special philosophy on hitting. “I try to hit the first pitch most of the time,” he said. The pitcher usually throws a good fastball right over the plate.” Stewart has improved defensively. He made only one error as a centerfielder this season compared to five errors his junior year. “It just started coming natural to me near the end of my junior year.” Stewart enjoys playing Centerfield. “It’s the only position where you have lots of room to move.” “People tell me I have a good arm, but I don’t think so,” he added. “I think alot of players can throw better than I can.” Ever since he first picked up a bat, baseball has been his favorite sport. “I have always wanted to play for the Detroit Tigers,” Stewart smiled.

JUSTIN COOLEY GENEVA BRUMM At my request Geneva Brumm consented again to be a Republican Candidate for Castleton Township Treasurer. I made this request because, having worked with her on tthe Township Board and in conjunction with other Township business, I know how dedicated she is to her work and to the residents of this Township. Her dedication and knowledge of the responsibilities for an excellent auditor’s report each year. Because the present Township Clerk is retiring at the end of this term and the Township Board will have a new Trustee, I thought the knowledge Geneva has of the Clerk’s duties and the responsibilities of the Trustee would be indispensible during any resultant transition period. Geneva has been very helpful to everyone from Senior Citizens to new taxpayers. Your vote in the August 3rd primary will be deeply appreciated by both Geneva and myself.

District Need New, Active, Effective, and Articulate People Representation in Lansing. IT IS TIME FOR A CHANGE IN LANSING! �Maple Valley Newt, Naihville, Michigan, Wedneeday, July 28. 1976 - Page 4 State Historical Society offers centennial business certificates In honor of the Bicentennial era. the Historical Society of Michigan is offering centennial business certificates to all businesses in the state that were founded at least 100 years ago. According to Frank C. Wilhelme. director of the state historical society, the centennial business program is being conducted to encourage Michigan communities to become more aware of their business and industrial history. “We hope that this program will also increase the interest in preserving important commercial and industrial buildings throughout the state," Wilhelme said. “These structures serve as significant visual links with our past." To launch the centennial business certificate program, the Historical Society of Michigan is holding a contest to find the oldest business in the state. The Oldestt Business in Michigan Contest will locate the oldest ongoing businesses that still pursue their original business or one that is closely related. Contest winners will be named in three categories: (1) oldest continuously operating business in original building, (2) oldest continuously operating business on original site but not in original building, and (3) oldest continuously operating business relocated from original building and site. Winners in each category will receive framed certificates from the Historical Society of and Michigan honorary corporate memberships in the society. In addition, the business with the oldest overall founding date will be presented with a framed pen and ink drawing of its first business office. To apply for a centennial business certificate and to enter the contest, businesses should send a letter to the Society with the following information: (1) name of business, address, and zip code, (2) date business was founded, (3) Xerox copy or description of documentation to verify founding date, (4) contest category, (5) name and address of person submitting entry, and (6) name of the president or chief executive officer of the business. All letters should be postmarked no later than Aug. 15. They should be mailed to the Historical Society of Michigan, 2117 Washtenaw Ave., Ann Arbor, Mich. 48104. The centennial business certificates will be presented this fall in cooperation with local historical organizations. Contest winners will be announced as soon as the results are tabulated. The State Library, the State Archives, and the State Historic Preservation Officer will receive a list of all centennial businesses and their founding dates. This information will be used by researchers studying Michigan’s early commercial and industrial history. A nonprofit organization, the Historical Society of Michigan promotes the preservation of state and local history throughout Michigan.

Fred Frith, Supervisor Lets Nagle, Clerk JaaeThnm, Treasurer Lloyd Hill, Trustee Harold Cook, Trustee �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, July 28,1976 — Page 5 Know your Michigan law By Attorney General Frank J. Kelley (This is a public service article explaining in general terms a provision of Michigan law. Individuals who wish to determine the effect of any law upon their private legal affairs should consult a private attorney.) Ifyou have been thinking about investing some money, the following pointers may help keep you from losing it. First, remember that an investment is a purchase, nothing more. You are buying a chance to make money. And, as with any other purchase, you should investigate both the seller and the product before handing over your money. In Michigan, this is easy to do because investors have a law designed to protect them against fraud, the Uniform Securities Act of 1965. Sometimes called the “Blue Sky Law,” it requires all securities and the people who sell them to be registered with the state Department of Commerce. A phone call to the department’s Corporation and Securities Bureau (517-373-0485) will usually dispel any doubts you may have. Insist that the salesperson show you a “prospectus,” a detailed description of the investment. The law doesn’t require this but, if the dealer won’t produce it, you have good cause to be suspicious. Also, shy away from dealers offering very high interest rates. They usually involve a lot of risk. This law also makes it illegal for anybody selling securities to defraud customers, lie to them, or ““forget forget”” important information. Violators are subject to a $5000 fine and-oi three years in prison. If you have already made an investment and think you maj have been cheated, complain vigorously - to the person wh< sold you the security. He or sh< may offer you a “recision,’ which simply means: all youi money back, plus six percen annual interest Grab it. A securities dealer is immune to prosecution if he or she offers a recision and it is not accepted within 30 days. If the dealer refuses to refund your money, you can take the case to court. But you have to do it within two years after the date of the contract If you’re not familiar with the securities market or if you’re planning to invest a lot of money, it might be a good idea to have the advice of a financial counselor before you make any move at all. And, in case you’re wondering: the Blue Sky Law got its name because that is just what cheated investors used to get for their money, the blue sky. It’s like of like buying the Brooklyn Bridge. Don’t you be the one to buy the blue sky. It’s one of the few views in the world still free.

This predator preys on more human lives than any other single factor inthe United States. It travels well over 55 miles an hour and can weigh over two tons. It comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. The automobile. Yet it’s not the car, but the driver who makes it the danger that it is. If more drivers obeyed the laws, observed the signs, and possessed the necessary knowledge of various driving situations, American roads would be much safer. Drivers Education programs throughout the country are doing their part to help alleviate this menace to society. With the ranng, and training, experience, important information these classes supply, young people of today should be entering the highways more responsible drivers than ever before. There are about 200 students taking Drivers Education at Maple Valley High School this summer. They are all 15 or 16 years old, and will be either sophomores or juniors this fall. They are divided into two groups, and must complete 30 hours of classroom work and at least six hours of actual driving experience. Jerry Reese, Larry Lenz, and Mike Booher are the driving instructors. Hoefler,and Ricketts also conduct the classroom sessions. The school has leased five cars k - the students to drive this summer. The kids start driving in the high school parking lot, and from there, venture to Nashville or Vermontville. They gradually progress to larger cities such as Charlotte, Hastings, Marshall, Lansing, and Battle Creek. During their driving experience the students practice stops, parking, expressway driving, driving in heavy traffic, on one-way streets, and much more. “The students get real good experience in their six hours of driving at Maple Valley,” said Ricketts. “Many schools do most of the driving in the parking lot” The students must score 45 out of a possible 60 points in order to pass the driving portion of the course. They are graded on preignition, backing, speed control, observing traffic signs and signals, turns, signal usage, lane changes, staying in the center of the land, proper following distance, right of way at intersections, freeway driving, passing, parking, alertness, calmness; reaction to various driving situations, and driving courtesy. “We judge the students mostly on the confidence and performance they display in knowing the laws, the right of way, and correct reaction to various driving situation,” said Hoefler. “If they score the necessary 45 points, but continually do something wrong, they may not pass the course. We don’t want somebody like that on our roads. “Most of the kids are scared to death and have no knowledge The Drivers Education instructors at Maple Valley High School are (Left to right) Jerry Reese, Greg Hoefler, Chris Ricketts, Larry Lenz, and.Mike Booher.

These emblems are required by law on vehicles moving at less than 25 miles per hour on roads and highways in all states in the United States and most Canadian Provinces.

Her dedication and knowledge of the responsibilities for an excellent auditor’s report each year. Because the present Township Clerk is retiring at the end of this term and the Township Board will have a new Trustee, I thought the knowledge Geneva has of the Clerk's duties and the responsibilities of the Trustee would be indispensible during any resultant transition period.

Byington - Merit emergency agriculture, Nashville cub scout newsTuesday afternoon the Cub Scouts and their families along with the Boy Scouts set up a picnic and game area at Charlton Park. The preliminary fire starting, table setting, and ice cream cranking seemed to fall mostly to the older generation but once out of the way it required only one call to get a lot of hungry kids to the table. Before the adults had finished eating, the kids were off en mass to the game area, where they raced, threw softballs, and tossed frisbees. The Cub Scouts, with a little help, dragged the Boy Scouts all over in the tug-o-war. The younger kids dug for pennies. Parents had their share of fun too. They became half of a water baloon tossing team - fortunately the weather made for fast drying. Homemade ice cream came next and while everyone enjoyed some the youngest ladies there drew names for the door prizes. The most coveted prize was an ELECTRIC ice cream freezer won by Mr. John Reese. The kids headed for a short game of softball while the rest of us returned the area to it “before” condition. The pictures taken will be on display School Night in September. We would like to thank the parents who shoed up and helped keep the boys bosy and things running smoothly. Maple Valley to have summer "Fun week The week of August 16 - 20.

Ionia Free Fair, ...largest of it’s kind in the world opens— For 61 years, die people of Ionia have gotten together each summer to produce what has come to be the worlds largest free fair. THE IONIA FREE FAIR attracts over a half-million people each year to the scenic Grand River Valley. During the 10 day run, the fair presents nationally known entertainers, one of the nations finest carnival midways, thousands of free exhibits and hundreds of special attractions. Most exhibits are housed in permanent buildings on the 130 acre grounds. Organized in 1915 as a good will bridge to bring together urban and rural citizens in the area, The Ionia Free Fair grew out of a citizens meeting called by former Michigan Governor Fred W. Green, then Mayor of Ionia. The less than successful county fairs that had preceeded the free fair had lacked quality Entertainment to augment the agricultural displays. It was decided that the new fair would be an exhibition, an exposition, and a carnival all in one. Today the Ionia Free Fair offers something for everyone. Everything you would expect from a county fair, plus those special attractions that you expect only from the world’s largest free fair! Special attractions at this years fair include: The Great Balloon Race, “MUSIC 200”, National Championship Horse Pulling, Canoe racing on the Grand River, and the largest carnival midway north of the Ohio River. The 1976 IONIA FREE FAIR gets underway this year with a spectacular event, unique to western Michigan. “The GREAT BALLOON RACE”, a competitive event between fifteen giant hot air balloons. Several thousand dollars in prize money will be at stake. But, for the spectators the competition of the event takes a back seat to the sheer majestic splendor of these huge, silent, lighter than air machines. The big balloons, some as large as ten stories high, will fill the air above the fair grounds sometime in the early evening of Friday, August 6. If you’ve never seen a balloon race before, this is the one you should see. Children from 2 to 92 will enjoy the brightly colored balloons, the thrill of competition, and after the race, the thousands of other fine attractions at the World’s Largest Free Fair. “MUSIC 200”. This program, produced by the Ionia Bicentennial Committee, is a journey into American History through 200 years of music. Many of Michigan’s top professional musicians will bring you the music of all periods of pur Country’s development. You will hear the banjo music and spirituals of the South; the songs popular during the Wars, the Roaring 20’s and the big band era; as well as country, jazz and rock! vo/aw TO VISIT OUR BIOLOGICAL INSECTICIDE PROTECTS YOUR GARDEN— AND THE ENVIRONMENT BRIDAL BOUTIQUE Every bride dreams of the perfect wedding . . a day that she will hold dear all through their lives together.

Leaf-eaters’ life cycle - (1) Eggs are laid by mature moths in late summer; (2) caterpillars hatch next spring and begin life with a voracious appetite, (3) spinning their own cocoons, from which they emerge (4) as moths, which in turn re-start the cycle by laying thousands of eggs again each year. Key to breaking the chain is to frequently spray foliage with Dipel, an environmentally safe biological insecticide. Scientists have been looking for insecticides that are envi­ ronmentally safe—but also ef­ fective—ever since DDT was banned by the federal govern­ ment in 1970. Now they’ve got one: A bac­ terial insecticide that is called "Bt,” short for Bacillus thuringiensis. It is being marketed commercially under the name Dipel. Now availbale for home and garden use, it’s a naturallyoccurring substance, not a chemical. It is so safe, in fact, you can skip the usual waiting time between spraying and harvesting required by chem­ ical sprays. But the real beauty is that Dipel attacks only leaf-eating caterpillars — not bees, lady­ bugs, birds or earthworms — but tomato homworms, cab­ bage loopers, inchworms, gypsy moths, tent caterpillars, tussock moths, spruce bud­ worms and other common leaf-eating pests. What is Bt and how does it work? It’s actually a bacterium that Mother Nature uses peri­ odically to limit the leaf-eat­ ing worm population. In con­ centrated form, the substance attacks their stomach walls so that they stop feeding and lit­ erally starve to death. But don’t expect an instant kill, since it may take two or three days for the caterpillars to finally die — even though their destructive eating stops right away. Dipel was introduced to farmers five years ago to pro­ tect commercial vegetable crops such as lettuce, cabbage, celery and broccoli. It has been tested and registered with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for use with most other major vegetables that are at­ tacked by leaf-eating caterpil­ lars, as well as ornamental or shade trees. Now that it is available for home use, Dipel or (Bt) can be found in most hardware or lawn and garden 'stores. It comes as a powder that is mix­ ed with water and applied with hose-end, slide, or tank-type sprayers. □ WEDDING INVITATIONS □ WEDDING ANNOUNCEMENTS □ THANK-YOU CARDS □ RECEPTION CARDS □ NAPKINS □ WEDDING MATCHES □ ACCESSORIES □ ATTENDANTS GIFTS SAMPLE BOOKS MAY BE TAKEN OUT OVERNIGHT FOR YOUR SELECTION AT YOUR CONVENIENCE. �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, August 4, 1976 — Page 10 Au Sable,rifle and thunder rivers bring back memories of of the old logging days The 1880s Paul Bunyan days, when braggish campstove yarns and the plaintive song of the crosscut saw filled the forest air are gone, but their memories remain in the valleys of Michigan’s Au Sable, Rifle and Thunder Bay rivers, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. Once clogged each spring with the cream of Michigan’s white pine forests, the rivers now carry thousands of canoeists each summer weekend past visible reminders of the lumbering era and through pine and oak forests which again cover the north.. The Au Sable, synonomous with canoeing, is the longest of the three rivers. Its navigable, rapidfree branches meander 240 miles before emptying into Lake Huron at Oscoda, site of the annual Paul Bunyan Festival in mid-August. The Au Sable was once a highway floating enough logs which when milled provided enough lumber to reach the moon if placed end to end. Today it is the state’s most canoed waterway. Most paddlers begin on the river’s main stream in Grayling, named for the fish once native to the river and headquarters for at least eight liveries offering trips from two hours to seven days. Another livery is located upstream near Frederic. The most popular trip is a fourhour float from Grayling to Stephan Bridge. The river flows gently on this route, taking canoeists past small brown and brook trout darting through the clear water. This stretch is heavily canoed and paddlers might want to put in at Wakeley Bridge further east, canoeing to McMasters Bridge. It’s a smooth, three-hour float past stumps of once-giant pines Banana Coffee Shake For something unusual and delicious try this tasty banana co ee sae. coffee shake. It'ss coo cool an and reres refreshing ng an and for orco coffee ee lovers, overs, thee banana coffee shake is perfect for the hot humid days ahead.

Further downstream, canoeists can rent craft at Luzerne, McKinley, Glennie, Oscoda and also at Mio, a former lumberjack supply center and now site of the annual Forestry Exposition each July. Paddlers also can see Mio’s Bicentennial amphitheater project being built on Mio Dam pond. Those tackling the entire river should plan on at least a week’s travel from Grayling to Oscoda with portages at six dams. Camping is available at numerous private and publicly owned parks, including one on an island in Cooke Dam Pond near Oscoda. Designated Consumers Power Co. land is also available for campers. The entire route, which takes canoeists past the famous Lumbermen’s Monument near Oscoda, is traced each summer during the Au Sable River Canoe Race, part of Grayling’s July Milltown Festival. Most trips down the river’s famous South Branch start in Roscommon. Daylong floats from liveries there through the spectacular Mason Wilderness Tract are especially beautiful in fall or winter. The Rifle, formed by several small creeks converging near Rose City, is good for young paddlers. It is dam-free with few rapids and a depth of 14 to 18 inches. It also was used for logging in the 1800s, but not as extensively as the Au Sable. After the timber played out, land was sold for farming, but most of the riverbank is again shaded by foliage. Canoeing the 103 miles from White Ash Bridge near Rose City to Omer takes three days. Only one state campground is available and few liveries offer riverbank campsites. Most paddlers spend overnight on state land or ask private landowners for permission to camp. Rifle River Trips from one to three hours are most popular, with routes from Selkirk Road to M-55 and from White Ash Bridge to M-55 lasting 75 minutes and four hours, repectively. The current is moderate with no rapids, but in late summer watch for boulders. There are liveries at Rose City and near West Branch, Sterling and Omer. Two years before Michigan was a state, pioneers first saw the Thunder Bay River’s stands of white pine. In 1859, the first of 20 sawmills along its banks was built at Alpena, and for 40 years, All notices should be delivered to Carl’s by Wednesday evening in order to be printed in the following issue of the Maple Valley News.

Once at Alpena, larger logs were chained to form immense rafts for trips to mills as far away as New York. Each raft had enough wood to build an eight­ foot-wide boardwalk from Oscoda to Detroit. Canoeists start from liveries in Atlanta and at the M-43 Bridge, or at the river’s headwarters at Lake Fifteen. There, the river is shallow and moderately fast, with fair numbers of trout Dams at Atlanta and Hillman slow its course, but near Long Is your child in school*and Still Wetting the Bed? •Any grade...Kindergarten through College.

At Grandville, Matt Owne 55 lbs., worked very hard, but did not place. My fire was even worse than I realized last week. The adjusters came Monday and as all the kitchen cupboard had to be junked, the afternoon job was to take anything out I wanted to save — rest to be discarded. My daughter and son-in-law, John and Mary Rodriguez helped me, but how can you decide in such a short time. But next morning at 8:00 a.m. the Weston Construction Company of Lansing came with a big truck to do the work. They took not only the cupboards, refrigerator, but my new kitchen carpet hardly three years old. Also the cleaners came for my new drapes, bedspreads, rugs, blankets, etc., that had to be dry cleaned.. Wednesday through Friday were spent in washing walls upstairs as well as down as everything is smoke damaged. I will have to have new cupboards, kitchen carpet, light fixtures,, paint and wallpaper on almost all downstairs walls. But perhaps I am lucky in some ways, the firemen said they never could have saved the house if I had had wooden cupboards instead of metal. It certainly will take quite a while to make it liveable again. Mr. and Mrs. David Hamilton and children, Brian, Kim and Jan have bought the'apartment house from Leroy and Iris Wion.

Mr. Hale was the assistant band director during the 1975-76 school year. It was the decision of the board of education not to employ an assistant band director this coming school year. The board members accepted the low bid of Ashley Dairy Inc. for white and chocolate milk with the present cost of white milk per >/2 pint carton being .0883 and chocolate milk .0953. The bid quotation from Kent Oil Company for gasoline at the tank wagon price less one percent was also accepted by the board of education. The board members accepted the bid submitted by Emmanuel Baptist Church (Midwestern Baptist College) from Pontiac for the three 1968 used busses and one 1969 bus at a total bid amount of $7,609. Approval was given the guidelines as set by the state department of education relative to free and reduced price lunches plus free milk. Again this school year the decision relative to granting free or reduced priced lunches will be made by the building principal with any appeals going to the superintendent. The cost of lunches will remain the same as at the end of the past school year with elementary lunches being 40c, Jr.-Sr. high school lunches 45c, milk alone for students 5c, adult lunches 65c, milk alone for adults 12c, and reduced price lunches to students 20c. The school lunch program will begin the first day of school on August 30 th.

Box A Nashville, Michigan (Phone, Hastings — 945-9554) Volume 103, Number 14 - Wednesday August 18,1976 Maple Valley football practice begins— Antique autos add to the nostalgia of Charlton Park last weekend Over 5,000 people visited Charlton Park Sunday for the Antique Auto Show sponsored by the Battle Creek chapter of the Veteran Motor Car Club of America. There were over 200 cars exhibimed, coming from throughout Michigan, Indiana, and Ohio. Among the cars displayed were a restored 1909 Cadillac, a 1920 Pierce Arrow, a 1927 Buick, a 1935 Aubrun, and the famous 1930 front drive Cord. In addition to the autos, there was a flea market where all kinds of furniture, toys, artifacts, tools, glassware and much more was available. There were over 100 of these tables. This year’s show was the biggest ever. Over 4,000 people attended the event last year. ~ PAID The Maple Valley Football team is ready to begin another season. The players are anxious to begin work on improving last year’s 2nd place finish in the league at both the varsity and junior varsity levels. The team’s strength, as always, lies in its returning lettermen of which we are blessed with eleven this year led by two year varsity letterman Pat Powers. Other returning lettermen are: George Owen, Don Kickey, Don Rugg, Jody Hartwell, Brian Mitchell, Les Murphy, Tim Curtis, Bruce Emmons, Dan Rice, and Don Harp. Seventeen players from last year’s 7-2 JV team have signed up to play varsity ball this year. The nucleus of last year’s outstanding junior varsity team is comprised of: Doug Hansbarger, Pete Benton, Mike Yost, Kirby Wilmore, Jim Hom, Scott Decker, Jeff Slocum, Randy Vessecchia, Chuck Reid, Tim Burd, Marty Dawson, Mike Hamilton, Robin Pendell, Andy Phenix, Mike Burrill, Steve Burger, and Kevin Wiser. Three former football players will be out for the team this year after taking a year off. The Coaching staff is very happy to have Tony Beals, Dan Cook and Paul Friddle back in the program. Playing football for the first time at Maple Valley will be: Larry Beals, Bruce Fuller, Darren Ayles, Todd Ackley, Gary Hamilton, Ross Furlong, Jeff Zemke, and Randy Snow. These players will be molded into a fighting unit by the varsity coaches Dan Watson, Chris Ricketts and Steve MacDonald. Junior Varsity coaches will be Mel Ruohonen, Guenther Mittelstaedt, and Newcomer Joe Brogan. League competition should be led by perennial champs Portland and Lakeview. Lakeview will have 27 seniors with four years of high school football experience; by far the most number of seniors our league has ever seen. Portland, as always, will feature size and speed, speed, speed. Saranac will have the advantage of playing all eligible high school players since they will have no JV team this year. Central Montcalm will have the largest line in the league with several 200 plus pounders. Montabella gathered more all conference medals than any team except Portland last year and has most of them returning. Carson City at present has no athletics and will apparently not field a team. Non-conference opponents will again be led by perrennial powerhouses Caledonia and Middleville of the O-K Blue conference. Maple Valley begins its season with a scrimmage against Portland St. Pats at Fuller Street School on Saturday, September 11 at 7:00 p.m. This will hopefully be the beginning of a vintage year for the mighty lions. Any ninth through twelfth grader who has not previously signed up for the Maple Valley football team may do so by calling any football coach or by showing up at practice any day. Practices August 23-25 will be at 8:00 a.m. at the high school. August 27th practice will be held at 4:00 p.m. The coaches at Maple Valley High School ask all eligible boys to participate in the football program. A high school athlete has four chances to participate and a chance once lost is gone forever. <®>Read this weeks feature found on page 2 �The Maple Valley News Nashville, Michigan. Wednesday, August 18, 1976 - Page 2 Making hobbies a way oflife— Jane and Jerry Shoup display a couple of Mr. Shoup's penknife portraits and show his miniature steam engines on the coffee table. (Maple Valley News Photo) Most people have hobbies that occupy them during their spare time For men it may be bowling, golf, or racing. For ladies it may or be sewing , macrame, macrame or gardening. But for Jerry and Jane Shoup of Nashville, it’s not just a pastime, it’s more a way of life.. Mr. Shoup can devote more time to his hobbies since he retired two years ago. He worked iin Industrial Engineering at Clark Equipment in Battle Creek for 27 years. . “It’s wonderful if a man has something to after something do retirement," said Shoup. “If he doesn’t, he’ll just waste away." Woodcarving was one of Shoup’s first hobbies, which he started doing when he was 18 years old to entertain his cousins from Battle Creek when they visited. Shoup now carves decorative eagles, chains, (dyers, statues (miniature and life size), and many other items. A jacknife and small chisel are his only tools and each of his projects are made from a single piece of wood. Hee uses either bass wood, white wood, or pine for his creations. Shoup’s latest projects are his life-like pen-knife portraits, that appear three dementional. Shoup recently carved his son and daughter gifts for their wooden wedding anniversaries. Shoup’s favorite hobby is making workable miniature steam engines, that he started doing when he was in the Navy during World War II. “I make these from scratch, there are no kits or anything,” he said. “I’m always pestering the Hastings junk yard for brass, iron, aluminum or other metals I need. Shoup put one engine in a miniature steam boat that he said had enough power to pull him and his rowboat through the water. He also made a miniature cannon that can actually fire. It takes him several hours a day for about 30 days to complete one of his engines. Shoup bought a full size 15 h.p. steam engine that was made in Nashville many years ago. While her husband is busy with his hobbies, Jane Shoup paints colorful hex signs, that she has beendoing since she received a book on the subject (as a gift) ten years ago. The signs originated centuries ago in Germany and the Pennsylvania Dutch brought them to America. These people used to put them on their barns to keep evil spirits away, but now they are primarily used for Sentence your money to a few months' hard labor.

Nashville. Michigm. Wednesday. August 18, 1976 — Page 3 decoration. “Many people think these signs originated with the Amish, but that’s not so,’’ said Mrs. Shoup. The signs are usually circular, with symbols depicting various meanings. A two-headed bird signified strength and marriage; three leaf tulips meant faith, hope, and charity; hearts symboled love and romance; stars meant good luck and warded off lightening; an unbroken circle symbolized eternal life; and so on. “The Pennsylvania Dutch often put symbols of horses on their barns for the health and fertility of their horses,” said Mrs. Shoup. “The signs have even been put on dog kennels for the dogs’ protection.” Mrs. Shoup makes up templates of the various symbols and traces them onto sheets of tempered masonite. She uses three coats of underpaint, one layer of paint for the design, and three coats of acrylic varnish for each of her signs. She always uses acrylics because they dry fast and can withstand the outdoor weather. “The signs add an individuality to a barn or garage,” said Mrs. Shoup. “I never make an exact duplicate of a sign ” People from all over the country and some foreign countries own her signs. She makes 8 inch signs, and two and four foot signs. She once even made a seven foot sign with a horse symbol. The Shoups have been on television programs with their hobbies, and Mr. Shoup demonstrates at various functions. Both show their work at several Arts and Crafts shows. The Shoups also have other hobbies such as collecting old bottles, antiques, and playing musical instruments. They have also raised three children, David, Steven and Marilyn. Obviously, the Shoups are very active people and with their many hobbies, there is little time for idelness — for them, hobbies are truly a way of life. Jane Shoup has been painting hex signs for 10 years.

CHOWS �The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, August 18,1976 - Page 6 25,000 expected to walk over Mackinac Bridge Labor Day The Bicentennial Bridge Walk - better known as the 19th Annual Labor Day Morning Mackinac Bridge Walk - is scheduled for Monday, September 6, at 7:30 a.m. As they have for the past seven years, the Governor and Mrs. William Milliken will lead from 20,000 to 25,000 persons in what has come to be known as the “world’s greatest walking event” over the Straits of Mackinac from St. Ignace to Mackinaw City. In recognition of the nation’s bicentennial, the Veterans of Foreign Wars state color guard, led by their commander, Cecil McGoon, will also be at the starting line. This is the only time of the year that pedestrians are permitted on the Mackinac Bridge. The 146th Military Police Battalion under the command of Lt. Col. Charles R. Ferguson will provide traffic control along with the local city, county and state police and Mackinac Bridge personnel. The National Guard will be stationed along the Bridge to assure the safety of Bridge walkers and the smooth movement of Bridge traffic. Bridge walkers are urged to make their own arrangements for arriving at the starting line, the Fare Plaza on the north side of the Bridge. Buses from Mackinaw City will be available, but past experience indicates that the long lines of persons waiting for passage may result in as much as two hours delay. The fare is 50c. Bridge officials suggest driving a carload of Bridge walkers across the Bridge to the starting line and leaving the car at the Fare Plaza parking lot; then returning after the Bridge walk when the buses are not crowded to pick up the car. No one will be permitted to start the walk after 10:00 a.m. The walkers occupy the two east lanes of the Bridge, while north and south bound traffic share the two west lanes of the Bridge. At approximately 10:00 a.m. northbound traffic will use the inside lane on the east side and walkers will be squeezed into the outside lane. This procedure is necessary in order to avoid long lineups and delay of cars southbound on Labor Day morning. Bridge officials also point out that there are no relief stations on the Fare Plaza or on the Bridge and that Bridge walkers should take this into consideration prior to commencing the one or two hour trek. Troop No. 127, Hiawathaland Council of Boy Scouts will be distributing numbered certificates to all walkers completing the trek attesting to same. Prizes valued at more than $1500 are keyed to the numbers on each certificate and awarded to lucky winners by the merchants and Chamber of Commerce of Mackinaw City. Preceding the general Bridge walk there will be novice races conducted by the International Walkers Association, which sponsored the firstBridge walk in 1958. These races commence at 7:15 a.m. Trophies will be awarded to four classifications: men and women, boys and girls. Registration is necessary to participate in this event. Persons interested may sign up at the Bridge Plaza (north side) prior to the commencement of these races; or they may write to the International Walkers Association, 569 Cornell Avenue, East Lansing, Michigan 48823. Registration fee is 50c. Marching bands, boy scout troops and community promotion groups are encouraged to participate in the Bridge walk. However, running, jogging, roller skating and any locomotion other then walking are prohibited during the general bridge walk. Since this is an election year, it is expected that there will be considerable campaign hoopla and old fashioned political parading to entertain and attract Bridge walkers to the candidates for public office. Pom-pom girls, imitation donkeys and elephants, campaign buttons, bumper stickers and promotional handouts by the millions will be in evidence. How much change does ourAmerican Economic System need: A lot? A little? None?

Vermontville Hardware 131 South Main Vermontville major routes traveled by Indians and explorers long before the American Revolution.) The Kalamazoo and the Paw Paw rivers offer canoeists good fishing, easy paddling and excellent sightseeing in some of the most picturesque wilderness areas of West Michigan, according to the Automobile Club of Michigan. Both rivers got their names from the Potawatomi Indians who roamed their banks hundreds f years ago. Paw Paw was the Indian name for the trees that still grow along the river. Kee-Kalamazoo, meaning “where the water boils in the pot,” was applied to that river by Indians who noticed the whirling motion of the stream’s eddies. The name also was given- to a trading post established on the riverbank in 1823, but six years later, the area’s first permanent settler, Titus Bronson, renamed the post in his own honor. The Indian name was adopted again in 1836 by termperanceadvocating townsfolk who were angered by Bronson’s love of liquor, but they shortened it to Kalamazoo. The Paw Paw’s East Branch begins at Little Paw Paw Lake in Kalamazoo County while the West Branch starts in Van Buren County. The two branches meet in Maple Lake in Paw Paw and travel north until joining the North Branch, which has its start in Van Buren County’s Wolf Lake. The river’s main branch then proceeds westward through MAPLE VALLEY SLOW PITCH TOURNAMENT AUGUST 20 - 21 - 22 Van Buren and Berrien counties until it flows into the St. Joseph River just short of Lake Michigan. While almost all of the Paw Paw is canoeable, the stretch recommended for canoeing begins in Van Buren County at County Road 681 midway between Hartford and Lawrence. Some 40 miles and two to three days of paddling later, the Paw Paw flows into the St. Joseph River at Benton Harbor-St. Joseph. The river winds its way through mostly private land densely wooded and teeming with deer, muskrat, ducks and other waterfowl. Between Watervliet and Benton Harbor, the Paw Paw traverses the Sarett Nature Center, a favorite stopping spot for migratory waterfowl in spring and fall. It is a nice, easy stream that touches only one big city Benton Harbor - and has only two dams, one at Paw Paw and the other at Watervliet. Both the East and West branches of the Paw Paw are rated good trout streams. The main branch from Paw Paw downstream to the Watervliet Dam produces good catches of pike, bass, panfish and suckers. Some steelhead and salmon can be caught just below the dam. Canoes can be rented at Gardner’s Marina in Benton Harbor or at the Paw Paw River Campground near Watervliet. The Kalamazoo River is at least twice the length of the Paw Paw. Its South Branch begins in a Hillsdale County swamp while the North Branch starts at Farwell Lake in Jackson County. The two branches meet at Albion in Calhoun County, where the main branch proceeds westward to Kalamazoo County, through Allegan County and finally to Lake Michigan. Although the Kalamazoo has many portages -- there are 18 dams between its headwaters and its mouth near Saugatuck the river is considered manageable by an average canoeist The Kalamazoo River Canoe Trail covers 80 miles through Calhoun, Kalamazoo, and Allegan counties and takes five to six days. The trail starts at Homer, south of Albion, and ends where the river meets Lake Michigan. Probably the most attractive portion of the trail starts at Echo Point, two miles northwest of Allegan on Monroe Road. Canoeists have three miles of Lake Allegan to paddle before they must take out east of the Allegan Dam for a portage to a put-in site below the dam. The next stretch of the journey is through the Swan Creek Wildlife Refuge, a spring and fall resting place for thousands of ducks and Canada geese. During migration, the sky is almost dark with waterfowl. After the M-89 Bridge, there is a seven-mile stretch of open stream, including a site for camping in the Allegan State Game Area just below the bridge. From the bridge to New Richmond, the river glides through four miles of the Ottawa Marsh, another prime resting place for migratory waterfowl. After that, the river widens considerably as it traverses the Pottawatomie Marsh. Most of the riverbank along this last stretch is private hunting land where canoeists again are treated to glimpses of waterfowl. The Kalamazoo runs through nearly two dozen cities including highly industrialized Battle Creek - Cereal Capital of the World - and Kalamazoo - of paper mill and pharmaceutical fame. In almost every one of these communities there is a riverfront park or picnic area. Canoes can be rented at the Shady Bend Camp Ground near Augusta and at Gleason’s Marina at Saugatuck. There is good pike and bass fishing in the Morrow Pond area between Galesburg and Augusta. From the Allegan Dam downstream to Saugatuck, anglers can expect good catches of pike, brown trout, largemouth bass, panfish, steelhead and salmon. Both the Kalamazoo and the Paw Paw are under study by the Department of Natural Resources for possible inclusion in Michigan’s Natural Rivers Program. &M...

The grant was made possible by federal funds and must be matched by local dollars. An additional grant for equipment purchase will be awarded at a later date. The Intermediate Board of Education has called for an election oh September 28, 1976, asking for voter approval of - .4 (4/10) Mill for 15 years for construction. - .9 (9/10) mills to operate the new center. If the millage vote is successful the new vocational center will serve over 1,000 high school students yearly. In 1972 a county-wide citizens advisory committee recommended that Eaton County construct an area vocational center, but was unable to obtain state approval. As a temporary measure the voters in Eaton County passed a one mill proposal which allowed the Intermediate board to contract with other school districts for vocational programs. Since 1973 over 1500 studentshave been bussed 300,000 miles to classes in Ingham County to obtain job related training. Construction of a vocational center in Eaton County would - reduce busing by 60 percent each year. ■— expand the number of programs available. - increase class time by 25 percent. - serve far more students than the present system. Bus travel for Maple Valley students will be cut by nearly two-thirds if a center is built in Eaton County. All students will be able to use regular school bus runs in traveling to the high school for busing to the center. Time now spent in travel can be spent in additional classroom time.

Some had not been together since graduation, so there was much reminiscing and sharing of favorite snapshots and school pictures. Two special guests were Mrs. Margaret (Schram) Erwin, a member of the class now living in Houston, Texas, and Mrs. Evelyn VanBlarcom Waterman of Battle Creek. Mrs. Waterman was a business teacher back in 1925-26. The original tortoni is an Italian ice cream, named after Tortoni, whose cafe flourished in Paris at the end of the 18th century and who is credited with having brought ice-cream made with cream and fruit to that city. Being that coffee is so versatile, here is a delightful dessert that is certain to please everyone. The following is the recipe as developed in the Nestle Test Kitchens. 1 egg white Vt cup sugar l|/2 teaspoons Nescafe 1 teaspoon vanilla extract % teaspoon salt % teaspoon almond extract 2 tablespoons sugar Vi cup slivered almonds, 1 cup heavy cream toasted In small bowl, combine egg white, Nescafe and salt; beat until foamy.

PITCH IN TO FIGHT CYSTIC FIBROSIS Jim Palmer, ace pitching star for the Baltimore Orioles, gives a few pitching hints to Michigan Cystic Fibrosis Poster Child, Joshua Houck of Saginaw. Palmer is National Sports Chairman for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and has been very active for a number of years in the effort to conquer children’s lung disease, particularly CF for which there is neither a cure nor control. During September, which is Cystic Fibrosis Month nationwide, Michigan residents will have the opportunity themselves to join the fight against children’s lung disease by contributing to their local Breath of Life campaign.

The wife, lacking a good educa­ tion or employable skill, such as typing or bookkeeping, finds it impossible to properly sup­ port her family. The most important insurance for both husband and wife is a good edu­ cation and training in a skill that assures profitable employ­ ment.

More than 300 high school students from Michigan, including Anne Boughton, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Boughton of 440 Durkee, Nashville, and students from five other states as far away as Hawaii and Connecticut made beautiful music in this year’s Summer Youth Music Program, June 27 through July 24. Two sessions offered intensive study in band, orchestra, or choral music. These outstanding high school musicians work with students from other areas and receive private instruction from members of the MSU music department faculty. During their two week stay at MSU, students live in a residence hall and share the life on the MSU campus. Performance is also an important part of the student’s learning experience. Both groups gave several recitals and concerts on campus and in the local community. FOR SALE: 1974 Ford, 4 wheel drive, % ton pickup, 4 new tires and rims, new battery, 28,000 miles, good condition.

Luckily, it wasn't. Most people are lucky. Most people never have cancer. But those who find they do have cancer are far better off if their cancer is discovered early. Because we know how to cure many cancers when we discover them early. That's why I want you to have a checkup. And keep having checkups. The rest ofyour life. It'll be a lot longer ifyou do. y.

DRY CLEANING between Croswell and Port Huron. The starting point for a two-day trip is Croswell, known as the “Garden Spot of the Thumb” because of the surrounding rich farmland. The town’s unique feature is a swinging footbridge, named “Be Good to Your Mother­ in-Law,” which crosses the Black at Maple Street. The city park below the dam has a launch site for beginning the journey. South of Croswell, farm country dominates the river’s path until entering the Port Huron Game Area. Here canoeists will see deer, beaver and waterfowl. Other Black River access points are located near Blaine at the edge of the game area and at the 1-94 bridge near Port Huron. Portaging is necessary at Ford’s Dam, the old mill dam at Wadhams and at places where trees obstruct the riverbed or gravel has built up in mid­ summer. Riverside- Marina in Port Huron rents canoes for short trips in which canoeists will mingle with sailors and boaters on the Black River as they pass beautiful riverside homes and large marinas. A daylong trip takes in portions of the Port Huron Game Area and a scenic area north of Ruby called Beard’s Hill. Mill Creek, which meets the Black at Ruby, is definitely for the backwoods adventurer. The river has not been charted for canoeing, but experienced paddlers can traverse the section that runs from Yale to Ruby.

Gas taxes go up, road improvements down now in Michigan Michigan’s county and municipal road administrators have been dismayed to learn that while gasoline tax revenues are going up, funds for improvement and maintenance of local roads and streets are below a year ago. State motor fuel tax revenues for the April-June quarter were up 5.6 percent but the distribution of funds to the state, counties, and cities dropped 6.1 percent compared with the same quarter in 1975. Funds disbursed to state and local highway agencies in the April-June quarter this year totaled $116.5 million compared with $124.1 million a year ago. The Michigan Department of State Highways and Transportation had earlier erred Coffee Gelatin Parfait Coffee has become more popular as a convenience beverage especially with the flavorful taste of the instant freeze-dried. It has become an all-time favorite flavoring for desserts such as pies, cakes and other delicacies. For a change of pace try this delicious easy-to-make coffee gelatin parfait. It’s light and can be made in advance and refrigerated until dessert time.

Chill in refrigerator at least 4 hours or overnight.. When pan of gelatin is almost , ready, chill reserved gelatin mixture until slightly thickened (about 20-25 minutes); beat in sour cream and set aside. Remove pan of gelatin from refrigerator: wrap warm cloth around pan to loosen gelatin. Cut gelatin into W’-W' cubes. Place half of cubes into bottoms of 4 parfait glasses. Equally pour sour cream-gelatin mixture into glasses. Top with remaining cubes of gelatin. Chill in refrigerator at least 1 hour before serving. Makes 4 servings. in announcing that the quarterly disbursements were higher. The drop in revenues divided among the state and local road departments results in part from a $950,000 increase in the cost of collecting gas and weight taxes during the three-month quarter. It cost the state $5.1 million to' collect highway and transportation taxes between April and June, as compared with only $4.2 million in the quarterly period last year. These fees go to the Departments of State and Treasury off the top of motor vehicle highway fund revenues. For the 12-month period ending June 30, total motor fuel tax revenues were up 2.3 percent and vehicle license fee collections were up 3.5 percent, but the money available for road and street improvement went up onoy one-tenth of one percent. The difference is partly explained because state officials have withheld distribution of interest earned on motor vehicle fund revenues. highway fund revenues. money is Normally this money distributed to state, county, and municipal units after June 30 but this year the state extended its fiscal year to September 30. As a result of this delayed payment, highway agencies will not share in any interest gained until after September 30, too late to be of use during the current construction season. Last year the earned interest amounted to $9.8 million. No estimate has been made for this year’s earnings which will cover a 15-month rather than a 12­ month period.

This will give you a view of your son thay may surprise you! All parents have this opportunity open to them, this is your chance to take advantage of it. The time involved varies, one night a week for den meetings, one night a month for Pack Meeting and one for committee meetings. Each of these meetings lasts about one hour. Den Leaders plan their meetings to include a craft, game, instructions on Scout routine and a snack and clean-up time. Pack meetings include the presentation of badges and awards, announcements, displays of the things each den has been working on, a group game, and refreshments. The committee meets to plan the next pack meeting, field trips, selling projects, financial business and public relations. In a small community, as ours is, it is important to provide our youngsters with something healthy and constructive to occupy their spare time. Scouting cannot turn a boy into something he is not, but it can encourage him to explore the natural world around him and spend his time enjoying and improving what he finds. If you would like to become a scout leader or serve as a committee member but feel you need more information, come down to the Scout Hall the 16th at 7:00 p.m. or call Cubmaster Ken Meade at 852-9196, former den leader and new den leader coach Sally Peake at 852-0742, or secretary Sharon Bishop at 852­ 0716.

Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, September 15,1976 - Page 4 Prayer campaign starts in area September 17, 'plan to pray' “It's time to pray, America,” a dramatic plan to mobilize the nation in prayer for 40 days between the weekend of Sept. 17 and Nov. 2, is fast taking shape across the country. President Ford and Jimmy Carter, plus Billy Graham, Johnny Cash, and Pat Robertson are among the key figures of the prayer campaign. Pastors from across the nation from virtually all denominations will be leading their congregations in prayer for moral and ethical leadership in government, education, the media, business, the professions, church and family life. What the program seeks is a renewal of America’s national commitment as “one nation under God,” and a shift away from current trends toward moral decay, according to a spokesman for the Christian Broadcasting Network (CBN), which is sponsoring the campaign. The plan was conceived by the Rev. M.G. “Pat” Robertson, host of CBN’s nationally televised “700 Club” program. Robertson’s organization has invited 200 thousand American ministers, priests and rabbis to lead their congregations in prayer for America in each of the seven weekends between September 17 and the time America goes to the polls. This week the National Conference of Christians and Jews added its endorsement to the “It’s time to pray, America” campaign. The major starting event for the prayer campaign will be a television special bearing the “It’s Time To Pray, America,” title. It is due to air on 217 television stations, mostly at 8 p.m. on Friday, September 17. Additionally the mutual broadcasting systems and several independent radio networks will be carrying the broadcast the following evening, Saturday, September 18, at 10 p.m. Eastern time. The TV and radio special features President Ford, Jimmy Carter, Billy Graham, Pat Boone. Tom Landry, David Wilkerson, Terence Cardinal Cook, Olympic athletes Jum Ryun and Janet Lynn. Even Israeli Prime Minister Yitzak Rabin will make a brief, prerecorded appearance in the program calling Americans to prayer for the future of their nation. In a letter to churches, program host Pat Robertson said he was asking the nation’s religious leaders to lead their congregations “in earnest prayer for their personal concerns for America” each week. ““Together, Together, as concerned Americans,” said Robertson, “we know that God is our one true hope for our future as a nation as we begin our third century.” New members of 500 mile club awarded Six new members joined the Maple Valley 500 Mile Club this week and were awarded their 500 Mile shirts. The Shaw family supplied four members - Kathy, Dione, Chris, and their mother Artha. Nancy Brady and Kelly Christopher also joined the club this week. All club members must cover the 500 miles during a 3-month time period. Cross country team open’s new season The Maple Valley Cross Country Team had a busy opening week.. On Tuesday, the Lions travelled to Delton and competed against Delton and Caledonia in a double dual meet. The Lions were defeated by identical scores of 19-38 by two fine teams. Doug Halsy finished first for Maple Valley and seventh over-all with a time of 17:22. On Friday the team was on the road again traveling to Middleville. The Lions lost to a strong Middleville team 19 to 40. Doug Halsey and Chuck Beachnau both finished the race in under 17 minutes. Brian Coffman was the most improved runner this week.

The motion carried, and the council said they would review the landfill situation at that time and would then discuss what would be done in the future. They also discussed the possibility of a gate charge and have the landfill open more often. Councilwoman Ruth Hughes brought up the stray dog problem in Nashville, and inquired what could be done to alleviate the problem. The council said that the Michigan State Dog Law required that all dogs must be under control and restrained. He added that should anyone have a stray dog complaint the Barry County Dog Warden was on call 24 hours a day and would respond to calls at any time. It was mentioned that many dogs do not even have collars or licenses. Roger Gardner, owner of South End Food and Beverage, asked the council if commercial businesses could have the same garbage pickup service as the village residents. He said he now pays outrageous prices for his service. President George Frith said he would contact the garbage contract bidders and would discuss the commercial rates with them. 10,000 expected to attend Michigan Corn-Sugar-Beet Expo If you’re interested in farm machinery, cropping and tillage practices, don’t miss the largest show of its kind ever held in Michigan. The Michigan Corn-Sugar Beet Expo '76 on Oct. 5 and 6 near Caro, culminates a year's effort by local farmers and Bill Bortel, Michigan State University Cooperative Extension director in Tuscola County. “Our primary intent provides all producers (cash crop, dairy and vegetable farmers), practical, take-home education in the latest harvesting and land tillage techniques. Our second goal is to provide the nonfarmer a better understanding of the costs and complexity of today’s agriculture production p in Michigan,” Bortel says. Toward that end, Bortel and his committee have signed enough contracts with manufacturers to fill a 40-acre tract with farm machinery. “We literally have equipment coming to Michigan from throughout the U.S. - as far away as Texas and Idaho,” Bortel says. What all this equipment is going to do is harvest 120 acres of Thursday, Sept. 23 com, 80 acres ofsugar beets, then Tomato soup, grilled cheese turn around and plow all 200 sandwich, pears, milk. acres. “In the process, we want to demonstrate new management Friday, Sept. 24 practices in corn and sugar beet Pizza buns, corn, peaches, milk.. production along with energy conservation in land tillage,” Bortel says.

Maple Valley students learn hunting safety Sixty-six Maple Valley students including six girls, between the ages of 11-16 completed a hunter’s safety course last week that was offered through the Maple Valley school system. Keith Greenwald and Harold Pufpaff were the instructors. The young hunters learned general hunting safety, how to handle a gun, be a good sportsman, and to show respect for other hunters’ rights. The students were required to Harold Pufpaff offers close instruction to Tom Peake at the Moose Lodge Shooting Range, where many of the hunting safety students handled and gun for the first time. (Maple Valley News Photo) take a final written exam in order to pass the course and receive a hunting safety certificate. The certificate is now a prerequisite for young hunters to obtain a hunting license. Until 17, they must hunt with a guardian. For the last day of classes the students were taken to the Moose Lodge shooting range where they got actual experience handling a gun. The shotgun shells were donated by South End Food and Beverage. Gordon Gardner takes careful aim. �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, September 15,1976 Page 10 Michigan salmon planting program a success The more than two million coho and chinook salmon now schooling off 34 Michigan rivers and lakes and ample evidence of the amazing success of Michigan’s 10-year-old salmon planting program, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. “When the firstof850,000 young coho salmon were planted in Lake Michigan in 1966, no one even dreamed of the crowds of fishermen and tourists they’d attract.” stated Joseph Ratke, Auto Club touring manager. This year, an army of anglers approaching a half-million from across the continent will take home about 1.2 million of the silvery coho and chinook, which soon will start spawning runs into rivers and lakes listed on AutO Club's 1976 salmon guide. Peak runs should occur from mid­ September to mid-October. Coho up to 25 pounds and chinook averaging 30 pounds will appear at five more sites than last year. Three streams along Lake Huron, plus one in Lake Michigan, will receive their first runs of mature coho or chinook. The first run of spawning chinook also is expected in the Detroit River near Belle Isle, Auto Club stated. “This fall might decide if the Detroit River can become a major salmon fishing ground. Chinook jacks were in the river last fall, but angler success was minimal,” said Ratke. “This year, experts hope that a substantial run near Belle Isle will develop.” The most improved fishing, however, is expected along Lake Huron’s shoreline, where 50 percent more salmon than last year — mostly chinook — are waiting for anglers. The biggest increase of mature fish is expected oil the Au Sable River near Oscoda, where returns from more than 400,000 chinook planted in 1973 and 150,000 coho salmon planted in 1975 already are schooling for runs to Foote Dam. This year, anglers fishing the half-mile stretch from the dam to Rea Road from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31 also are permitted to keep foulhooked Pacific salmon under the state Department of Natural Resources rules. Anglers are restricted to use of since 1971 and is ripe for unweighted double or treble breaking,” said Ratke. “The hooks no more than three-eights record 44-pound, two-ounce inch from point to shank or single chinook caught last year in the St hooks no more than one-half inch Joseph River could fall just as from point to shank.

Main St,Vermontville Ph.726-0569 �4-H to may start pigeon program in area A pigeon race was one of the popular features at 4-H Exploration Days, held recently at Michigan State University, according to Dick Hill, Extension 4-H Agent, Barry County. From around the state, almost four hundred racing and homing pigeons were taken to the M.S.U. Stadium and released at different intervals. They came from Presque County,. Flint, Grand Rapids, Muskegon and other places. Racing Pigeons could be an exciting new 4-H project for Barry County if there is enough interest It would be easy to establish relationships with other 4-H chibs around the nation for joint ventures. Such a project could add a new dimension and some additional excitement at the Barry County Fair if pigeons shipped from 4-H members in other parts of the country were released in front of the grandstand during the Fair, Hill adds. All who watched them fly away would be watching for news of when they arrived back home, where ever that might be. Anyone interested in helping to develop a 4-H program with racing pigeons should contact the Extension Office in Hastings.

The school district will be levying 22.3 mills for operational purposes amounting to $672,794.32 based upon a state equalized valuation of $30,170,149.00. This included the 8.3 mills allocated and 14 extra voted mills. The debt retirement millage was set at .833 mills amounting to $25,034.53. The school district will be receiving state funds in the amount of $48,666 under Section 27 to pay part of the debt principal and interest due this school year. The board members accepted the low bid submitted by State Farm Mutuul Insurance Company for school bus fleet insurance and coverage on other vehicles and tractors. The bid in the amount of $4,427.27 covers the twenty six regular busses, three mini busses, three cars, five pickups, and three tractors. The insurance covers the period October 1, 1976 through September 30, 1977. The annual financial report as prepared by the school auditor was approved for filing with the state Department of Education. The cash balance June 30, 1976 was $256,549 compared with $269,218 on June 30, 1975. Taxes receivable June 30, 1976 were $119,435 compared with $102,208 on June 30,1975. The total general fund equity June 30, 1976 was $403,817 compared with $394,059 as of June 30, 1975 representing mainly the increase in taxes receivable. Representatives of the Bud’sDud’s square dance group were present to discuss their concern over the general charge for the custodian’s wages for working on Saturday night plus a possible $10.00 rental charge for the Kellogg gym. Representatives stated that this group has only a small membership resulting in limited funds to cover any rental costs in addition to paying the custodian for working Saturday flight. The board members agreed to further consider any rental charge and to let the group know if there would be any charge for the use of the gymnasium. Non-teaching contracts were approved for Karla Hale as a teacher aide in the Jr. High resource room, Chris Schantz as custodian at the Jr.-Sr. high school, Marie Fager as teacher aide-playground at Kellogg, Mary Gurd as secretary-aide at the Kellogg Elementary, and Theresa Hull as school nurse. continued page 9 SCOUTS LEARN SAFETY The Vermontville Cub Scouts and Webelos learned safety at the farm of Doug and Judy Gardner last Saturday.

Vermontville Public Library News You taay have seen the television advertisement about the new manual by Lyn Taetzsch & Enid Littman called OUT OF WORK - THE COMPLETE JOB HUNTERS GUIDE. This manual is now available at the library. Due to the great demand for service manuals, we have added many new ones to our collection. They are: REFRIGERATION, AIR CONDITIONING, RANGE, AND OVEN SERVICING; HOW TO FIX IT HOME ENTERTAINMENT PRODUCTS; HOW TO FIX IT ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS; and HOW TO FIX IT - PLUMBING SYSTEMS. Also available are excellent auto repair manuals, and an unusual book about how to restore old cars. Among the many other new books are: ON MAKING, MENDING, AND DRESSING DOLLS by Clara Fawcett, DEAD RUN by Richard Lockridge, JUDAS FLOWERING by Jane Aiken Hodge, and THE DRESDEN FINCH by Jessica Stirling. Our thanks are extended to Joyce Hummel for her large donation of excellent books. They represent many hours of good reading to the people of the area. We have on the bulletin board in the library copies of the propositions that will be placed on the November ballot, and we urge all who are able to do so to stop in and look these over. They apply to the renewal millage for the library and fire department which, due to lack of understanding, were defeated in the primary a short time ago. AH four of these propositions must pass in order to gain the millage that both organizations need to continue to function. The Vi mill (which is just a renewal of the mill that the library has been getting for 20 years) is the first requirement the state makes in order that we be eligible for state support The % mill is only a small part of the funds needed to operate, but other sources will be cut off as soon as the community withdraws its support so the % mill is vitally needed. Please come in and let us explain these propositions to you. Don’t aUow all of the hard work you have put into the library be swept away because of misunderstanding.

Two key players are running backs Quentin Ward and Ray Holliwell, who scored 14 touchdowns between them last year. “If Holliwell and Ward can stay healthy, we should be tough,” said Ruohonen. “They are both agile, deceptive runners.” The team should be strong on the line with four outstanding two-way linemen returning from last year’s team. David Cook, Dennis Cook, Kevin Kilpatrick, and Bill Maker are the fearsome foursome. The Lions have four outstanding freshmen in Vern Sargent, Jeff Mead, Jeff Hom, and Doug Cook. Steve Augustine and Tom Gurd are fighting for the starting quarterback job, with a slight edge goint to Augustine. The receivers are Don Fox, Rick Nisse, Brad Carpenter, and Jeff Mead. “Our offense will rely on the ground attack mostly until the young receivers learn to run correct pass patterns,” said Ruohonen. “This is something they will learn with experience, but they have lots of potential.” The team’s primary weakness is depth. “If we have injuries, we could be in trouble,” said Ruohonen. “Our philosophy is to keep the opposition deep in their own territory with our specialty teams and “crash” defense. On offense, we like to pull a few tricks and keep the other team off guard.” The Maple Valley varsity football team is a young, inexperienced squad with only eight returning lettermen, but if enthusiasm can win games, the team should take home its share of victories this season. “They’re a very enthusiastic bunch of guys,” said head coach Dan Watson. “They’re the best group of coachable kids we’ve ever had.” Maple Valley has good overall team balance, without any weak spots. Les Murphy and Jim Horn are battling for the No. 1 job at quarterback. Murphy was the starting varsity quarterback last year, while HOrn led the J.V. team to a 7-2 record. “They’re both doing a fine job,” said Watson. “It’s nice to be blessed with two good quarterbacks.” The Lions are also blessed with flock of fine receivers in Pat Powers, an all-conference offensive end last year, Pete Benton, Kirby Wilmore, 6-foot-5, 217 lb. sophomore Andy Joostberns, and Jeff Slocum. “They all have good hands and can catch the ball,” said Watson of his pass catchers. “We plan to employ a passing attack this year.” The ground attack is led by fullback George Owen, Don Harp, and Mike Hamilton. This is Owen’s first year as a running back. Last year he played defensive end. “We have a lot of power in the backfield,” said Watson, “especially in Owens and Harp.” The defense will be particularly inexperienced with only three seniors starting with prior experience. Don Hickey, all-conference defensive end last year, is probably the team’s defensive standout. “He has got to be the toughest guy on the team,” said'Watson. “He is one of the most aggressive players I have ever coached.” Through the first six games last year, the Maple Valley defense held the opposition to an average of only 95 yards a game. The Lions have an excellent kicking game. ‘‘Slocum can really punt the ball, Owen can consistently kick the ball to the 10 yard line on kickoffs, and Kirby Wilmore will probably kick extra points. “Wilmore is the most versatile player on the team,” said Watson. “He can play just about anywhere. "I expect our toughest competition to come from Portland, Lakeview, and Central Montcalm,” Watson continued. “I’d like to see us right in the thick of things, too. I expect it to be a four team battle all the way.” Good Luck Lions �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, Septamber 22, 1976 — Page 6 Cross Country team should improve record Maple Valley cross country season is over,” said Taylor. coach Tom Taylor feels this “Munn and Beardslee have year’s team will improve its 2-10 already improved from last year.

September 22,1976 - Page 6 ColorTour Michigan in Autumn Spectacular views of Michigan’s forests in vivid fall colors await travelers who bop on a boat or a train, paddle a canoe or peddle a bike, jump into the family jalopy or just hike along a woodland path, according to Automobile Club of Michigan. Of the many ways to see the vivid hues of Michigan’s woods in autumn, one of the most interesting is from the deck of a boat cruising Lake 'Superior. Starting Sept. 21 and continuing into October, the Pictured Rocks Cruises at Munising runs daily three-hour, narrated fall color trips along the rocky shores of Upper Michigan. The boats travel 17% miles along the world famous Pictured Rocks — a colorful expanse of forest-topped rocks that can be seen only from the water. The picturesque rock formations.and the brilliant colors of surrounding autumn leaves provide 'breathtaking views when seen against a backdrop of blue water and sky. Cruises are subject to the weather. Combine a boat ride with a train trip on two U.P. fall color Hair Dryers-Curling Irons tours centered around the Tahquamenon Ralls - second largest waterfall east of the Mississippi River. Starting at Soo Junction off M­ 28, the Toonerville Trolley - an authentic narrow-guage railroad - takes passengers six miles through wilderness to Hunter’s Mill, where they debark and board the Hiawatha Riverboat for a 21-mile trip down the Tahquamenon River to just above the rapids. From there, it’s a half-mile hike to view the upper falls. The whole trip takes 6% hours and is offer once daily at 10:30 a.m. from now until Oct 6. The Riverboat and Timber Train Ride, based at Slater’s Landing 10 miles north of Hulbert off M-28, reverses the order of the trip to the falls and is a shorter journey — 4% hours. Passengers first board the Diantha Hulbert for a 17-mile trip on the river. Next is a two-mile ride aboard the Paul Bunyan Timber Train, followed by a short walk to the upper falls. This trip is offered daily at 10:30 a.m. now until Oct 10.

In northwest Michigan, travelers have -two choices -- the Charlevoix Chamber of Commerce 1% hour cniises on Lake Charlevoix or the Ironton Ferry’s under fiveminutes mini-tour for just a half­ dollar. The chamber cruises are run at 1 p.m. Saturdays, Oct. 2 and 9, and on Sunday, Oct. 10. Tickets must be purchased in advance from the chamber. The ferry, painted red, white and blue for the Bicentennial, takes cars across Lake Charlevoix from Ironton to Boyne City in a shortcut that lops about a half­ hour off driving time. It is pulled across the lake on cables. While at Boyne City, hop aboard the Boyne Valley Railroad for a scenic color excursion that takes just under two hours each way. There are four 14-mile round trips every Saturday and Sunday through October, and the tracks run through picturesque Boyne Mt Ski Resort to Boyne Falls. If you’ve never been on a paddle wheel boat, there are four in Michigan offering fall color cruises the Au Sable River Queen Boats near Oscoda, the Island Queen in Kensington Metro Park near Detroit, and Grand Rapids’ Grand River Queen Paddle Wheel Riverboat.

Visiting a cider mill and watching the machinery work can be unique and fun-filled entertainment for the whole family. “Children in particular will delight in seeing the unfermented apple juice being extracted by means of a press and then sample the finished product,” Ratke pointed out. • To help motorists plan fall trips which include stops at cider mills, Auto Club has prepared the accompanying map and list of 67 southern Michigan operations. While fall is the peak time for cider mill operations, many facilities remain open through the winter with some extending seasons into spring until stored apple supplies are exhausted. “Since many mills operate irregular hours, persons wishing to see pressing operations should telephone ahead before leaving home,” Ratke advised. Visiting a cider mill can be a day-long activity since some of the mills feature such things as horse-drawn wagon rides, flea Cider mills are most popular on weekends. Travelers can avoid restaurants. Some mills have orchards lines by visiting mills on where the apples may be picked weekdays. The cost of cider this fall should while others permit customers to bring their own apples for range from $1.35 to $2.50 per pressing. The best time for gallon with doughnuts between picking apples is from early $1.10 and $1.70 a dozen.

Central Montcalm played the game without their punter, their quarterback, and two other starting players, all of whom will be ready for Maple Valley’s home opener next Friday. Portland has not played any league games yet Last Friday’s game saw the Lions establish an effective ground game mixed with an adequate air attack. Maple Valley took the opening kickoff and marched 78 yards for the first touchdown in 13 plays. George Owen went the final 2 yards for the touchdown, but Don Harp picked up 40 of the 78 yards on 6 carries. Don finished the night as the leading ground gainer with 71 yards on 14 tries. Montabella tallied its score in the second quarter on a 4 yard run by Randy Delemater after a 78 yard pass play. The 78 yard pass accounted for most of the Mustang’s 126 yards total offense for the night. Montabella had only 31 yards on the ground in 29 carries. Maple Valley came back in the fourth period with the final touchdown. Les Murphy hit Pat Powers with a 32 yard pass, then ran 4 yards on an option play for the touchdown. Don Harp ran untouched into the end zone for the 2 point conversion. The Lion defense, led by Pete Benton’s key interception of the Mustang’s two point conversion try was superb all night long. Sophomore Ken Hansbarger and Brian Mitchell led the teafn in tackles with 7 a piece. Don Rugg had 6 tackles, Pat Powers had 5 tackles, and Don Hickey had 5 tackles. The Lions will meet Central Montcalm in their home opener next Friday at 7:30. Maple Valley will be trying to raise its record to 2-0 in league play.

(Maple Valley News photo) Girl’s Tennis building for future The Girls Tennis Team has improved considerably, now in its second season of competition at Maple Valley High School. This year, two girls, Tammy Wolff and Kathy Knoll, have won matches equaling the number of victories recorded all last season. “Last year the girls didn’t score many points against their opponents,” said coach Ed Sampson. “This year, the girls make it much more challenging for the opposition. “Right now we are working on basic fundamentals such as serving, forehands, and backhands,” said Sampson. “They have gotten these skills down and must now learn to hit the ball away from the opponent and use a little finesse in their matches. I expect the girls to improve consistently as the season progresses.” Becky Erwin, Nancy Brady, Tammy Wolff, and Kathy Knoll are the number one through four singles players on the team. “Becky is a real fine tennis player, Nancy will be number one next year, Tammy uses her ability very well, and Kathy is fundamentally a real good player who works hard and thinks a strategic game.” The number one doubles players are Robyn Yarger and Teresa Evans; number two doubles: Denise Burd and Debbie McGinley; and number three doubles: Brenda Harris and Debbie Sutfin. “Brenda has come a long way from last year, and sophomore Debbie Sutfin should be very good for future teams,” said Sampson. “One of our biggest assets is a fine physical education program that creates interest in tennis and helps in early development and basic fundamentals. “We are currently in the building stages, but in another year,” Sampson predicts, “maybe two, we should be able to hold our own with any school in the area.” Schedule ‘76 GIRLS TENNIS Sept. 8 - Caledonia ..

Coach Jerry Reese stresses fundamental basketball, how to dribble with both hards, position basketball, and making the other team win from outside and not let them win on the inside. “At the J.V. level, I am basically concerned with developing the kids’ talents and teaching fundamentals,” said coach Reese. “The hardest thing to teach the girls is their assignments on certain plays.” Some of the outstanding performers on the team are forward Tuesday Aspinall, center Cathy Kraai, and guards Marcia Rockford and Julie Barlow. Showing much progress this year are guard Christine Shaw and forward Kathy Christopher. “Tuesday Aspinall is probably our best shooter,” said Reese. “She made 25 percent of her shots in our last game. She is a good natural athlete. “Kathy Christopher has been really improving this year. She had 11 rebounds in the first game. She is exceptionally quick. “The Portland game will give me an indication of how well we’ll do this year,” said Reese. “I expect that we’ll have a better than .500 season.” J.V.’s do it twice in a row VARSITY CHEERLEADERS Left to right are Shirley O’Dell, Kim Zemke, Julie Hartenburg, Kathy Garvey, Julie Shook Center pillars are Teresa Kent (left) and Gretchen Hartenburg.

This drawing took place in the Colony House, which at that time was west of the home of Mrs. Ava Kroger. Paul Hammond played Rev. Sylvester Cochran who opened the meeting with prayer. Names of the original settlers were pinned on members of the audience and as their name was called, they picked numbers for lots out of a hat. Assisting in this was Russell Weiler, Stuart Trumble, and Kris Farley. These people are all students in Mrs. Carpenter’s creative writing class. The next meeting will be Nov. 18 with Eaton Co.

While the members of the Extensive Congregational Church have provided the usual repairs such as paper and paint, windows and roofing, now this historic land­ mark is in need of extensive and costly repairs or face a demolition crew in a relatively short period of time. The Trustees of the Church signed a contract last week with the Dorr Granger Construction Company of Lansing. The project which includes the re­ enforcing and in some cases the complete replacement of parts of the original structure will take between three and four weeks. This will strengthen the lower floor so that it will be safe again for the many visitors who enjoy our Museum every year. At the same time the foundation will be so strengthened that it will be ready for the restoration of the second floor when funds are available. The cost of materials and labor will be nearly nine thousand.

Hastings — 945-9554) Volume 103 - Number 21 - Wednesday October 6,1976 National Fire Prevention week... October 3-9 “Learn Not to Burn” is the theme of Fire Prevention Week 1976, to be observed nation-wide the week of October 3-9. The intent of the event, sponsored by the National Fire Prevention Association is to encourage people to “Learn Not to Burn” each and every day of their lives. Current statistics show the leading caused of fire to be: 1). Electrical; 2). Smoking and matches; 3). Heating and cooking equipment; 4). Open flames and sparks; 5). Children and matches; 6). Flammable liquids; 7). Lightning; 8). Chimneys and flues. Fires kill an average of 32 persons in the United States every day. An estimated 11,800 lives were lost due to fire last year. Fires cost about $4.4 billion last year. An estimate by the National Commission on Fire Prevention and Control figures the total cost of fire, including lost wages, sales, production, as well as building and contents destroyed, at, $12 billion annually. Thirty percent of the fire victims are children. Some 3,500 U.S. youngsters through the age of 15 perish from fire each year. Approximately 25 percent of the tragedies occur when the children are alone or without proper supervision. Carelessness, disregard for established fire prevention policies, and ignorance account for a large percentage of the nation’s 1.3 million building fires each year, explains NFPA President Charles S. Morgan. These fires cost an estimated $3.3 billion annually. The best way to make serious reductions in this annual toll, Mr. Morgan says, is for the nation to take “Learn Not to Burn” to heart and to make attention to fire safety a year-round concern. The following are some specific suggestions from the NFPA on the control of fire: Electrical - Heed warnings such as sparking equipment, dimming lights, and blowing fuses. Take defective equipment out of service immediately. Have it repaired by experts or replace it. Smoking and matches — Obey the old warning not to smoke in bed. Smoking and drinking are an equally poor combination. Let ashes and cigarette butts cool overnight in large ashtrays before discarding them. Check behind all cushions for smoldering materials before going to bed. Heating and cooking Castleton Fire Department equipment — Keep in good currently has 19 members.

Flammable liquids - Store only minimal amounts, keep in a cool place away from pilot lights and other open flames.

The Maple Valley golf team has a 5-3 record so far this season. Last year the team finished with an 8-6 record. “The 1976 team is probably the best squad we’ve ever had,” said coach John Hughes. “We should have a fairly successful season. “One of our problems is that we shoot much better at home than on the road.” The team’s home course is Riverbend Golf Course in Hastings. The 1976 team has six seniors Mark Shipman, Mark Benton, Brian MacKenzie, Dave Kelley, Keith Jones, and Tom Davis. “Mark Shipman is our best golfer by far,” said Hughes. “He shot an 86 and finished fourth at the league meet in Mt. Pleasant this week. “Mark Benton is also a real good golfer; he has done an excellent job for us. Junior Phil Rathburn should be our number one golfer next year. “Brian MacKenzie and Dave Kelley have improved greatly from last year. “The team team to to beat is Montabella,” said Hughes. “They are currently undefeated this season.” 1976 MAPLE VALLEY GOLF TEAM Front row, left to right.

One of the real hustlers on the team is 4-foot-9 Melissa Coffman. “She’s probably our best player,” said coach Carol Ripple. “She’s exceptionally quick and always in the middle of the action.

She’s an aggressive and tough player. If I had a taller team, I’d like to play her at guard. “Melanie Rogers is a good ball handler, and Coby Mateer shows promise at forward. “I’d say our strengths are our quick guards, and we have some height on the front line,” said coach Ripple. “Our main problem is overall team hustle.” “Celia Eaton is a good ball handler, Tammy Foote, a first ’ year player, is another good rebounder who'learns fast, and Judy Williams is very versatile and can play any position well. “For 8th graders, they move the ball real well,” said Gilmore. “I’d just like to see them become more defensive minded.” Maple Valley people are among the best high school fans anywhere, as witnessed at the Lions 35-6 home opener victory over Central Montcalm Friday night.

Football stunned at Central Montcalm Last Thursday, the Junior Varsity Football team traveled to Central Montcalm only to be manhandled by a 34-0 score. “I realized that our offense lacked punch,” says Coach Ruohonen, “but I thought writing for Rick Forzano’s playbook would be the key to our problems. “Seriously, our Junior Varsity put together about all of the mistakes that could be made in one game, and sadly enough Central Montcalm took advantage of most of the mistakes. “On the brighter side,” he continues, ”we were very pleased with the development of three football players - Nolan Goodner, Quentin Ward, and Bill Maker. Goodner and Ward are leading the team in tackles, and Maker is developing into a strong offense and defense player. “As the year goes on, we hope the younger people develop the pride that is needed to change over to a winning program.” This Wednesday the Freshmen travel to Portland for a 7:00 p.m. game. There is NO Junior Varsity game this week. The spirit is still high on the team as they search for victory Nq, 1.

Sincerely yours, Edgar Fleetham Eaton County Commissioner District 1 Thursday evening, October 7th, at 6:30 p.m. there were 42 boys and girls at the Vermontville Bible Church to get the new “club year” off to a good start! They began their meeting with the pledge to the American flag, followed by the pledge to the Awana flag and prayer. Gametime was next on the agenda for the evening, and after teams were chosen by dividing up evenly as to size,the basement rang with cheers and excitement from the red, yellow, green, and blue teams and all the leaders and helpers. During Council time, three of last year’s clubbers were awarded a large Artex wall painting for completing their handbooks last year. Receiving awards were Kim Bell, Pam Brown and Bob Brown. Over 73 voices sounded out the Awana Song followed by an enthusiastic song-time and an object lesson with spiritual application by the club Commander, Homer Winegar. Handbook time found each group with their leader and helper getting acquainted with each other and their Entrance Tests and new Handbooks. Bible memorization will earn them awards throughout the year, as well as permit them to go on special outings, such as hay rides, snow parties, shopping sprees, etc. Any boy or girl 3rd through 8th grades is invited to join us each Thursday evening at 6:30 p.m. Please call 726-0223 or 726-1007 if you need a ride. m PHONE 945-9554 WANT-ADS NOTICES Reach Over 3,200 families!

Incidents, some big, some small, have changed peoples’ lives throughout the history of mankind. Seemingly inconsequential occurences have served as the seeds of new beginnings or catalysts that have influenced an individual’s future. It happened to Stan Trumble in 1954, when an insurance agent visited him to sell him a life insurance policy. At 20 years of age, a second Lieutenant in the National Guard and employed by the State of Michigan, Stan realized that the insurance business was his calling. “Right away I knew that selling insurance was what I wanted to do,” said Stan. “I could be my own boss, success or failure could be determined by my performance, and it would allow me to take vacations with my family at my own discretion. “Most of all, life insurance looked like a good product and sound investment. The agent easily sold me on it, so I thought I could do the same.” Stan married the former Mary Ann Bulling in February 1955, and the insurance business was a constant struggle in the early going for him and his family. “I was on straight commission and it was difficult to make ends meet during my first five years,” recalled Stan. “I even had to borrow money from the bank so I could buy groceries at times. “I was out selling six nights a week, which added to the difficulty for my family. My wife deserves a lot of credit for being so understanding.” The Trumbles have four children, Teresa Jones, 21, Fred, 20, Stuart, 17, and Ken, 9. Stan sold his first policy to Carol Wells, who graduated with him from Vermontville High School. She still owns that same policy. Trumble has been a New York Life agent for 22 years, and was recently named the President of the Central Michigan Chapter of Life Underwriters. The Trumble Agency is located at 178 S. Main in Vermontville. “Only about ten percent of the nation’s life insurance agents are currently certified life underwriters,” said Stan, who earned his degree in 1965. “To be certified, an agent must take ten separate courses and pass an examination following each segment.” As president of the Central Michigan chapter, Stan has been busy helping make this education available to agents in the area. The classes; are available at Lansing Community College. “These classes are given so that the agent can be better informed on all aspects of the business, and therefore can better assist the public.” Stan’s education also includes a two-year degree in accounting from Lansing Community College. Trumble purchased the C. Wardwell Agency in Vermontville, an affiliate of Auto Owners Insurance, in May of this year. “I purchased the casualty, business so my clients could get 7 like working with people says complete insurance coverage from one agent.” Mary Trumble and Norma Shance, who has worked at the Wardwell Agency for ten years, work at the Trumble Agency office. Norma is a licensed salesperson and Mary will be shortly. “Auto Owners gives its clients super service,” said Stan. “The service man is here every Monday morning taking care of claim problems and writing checks. I have yet to find another company that gives such quick efficient service. “There is a world of difference between the casualty business and lifeinsurance business. Casualty insurance is something people need to have, but life insurance is a luxury. “It’s hard to create bad will with a life policy,”Stan added. “Once the client has purchased it, there is no way the company can raise the rates or cancel it. I thank people for their casualty business, but congratulate them on the purchase of a life insurance policy. “Life insurance can be used for so many things, such as down payments on homes, farms, businesses, or for vacations. Endowment plans have been used to pay for college tuition. About 95 percent of my clients have used their policies for these things. “My life policies have pulled me out of the hole a number of times,” Stan added. “I’ve used it to buy part of the Wardwell Agency and it was instrumental in the down payment of our home. I think of life insurance as being ‘parked’ for future use. “Of course, its primary function is to offset a mortgage and so forth, so the family can continue living the way they are accustomed to in case of death. A life policy is usually the largest sum of cash accumulated at the tim6 of death. Life insurance can determine an individual’s net Worth in estate and cash value. " “People are starting to realize the value of life insurance. Many past clients have come back to buy more of the same. People may make a mistake once, but they seldom make a mistake twice. Today, about 75 percent of my new clients are referrals from my previous clients. “I like working with people,” says Stan, “and feeling the sense of use to someone. I get great satisfaction knowing that my clients have profitted from my product.” Stan andfeeling the sense ofuse to someone. ” Photos and Story By Randy Northover The telephone is an important time saving devise in the insurance business.

Neither team had much success moving the football as Saranac could gain only 95 yards on the ground, 50 of which came on one play. The Lions, meanwhile, gained 129 yards on the ground. All the scoring came in the second quarter. Saranac’s Steve Mettemick broke for a 50-yard gain and was hauled down from behind by Pat Powers on the Maple Valley 10 yard line. The Lion defense held and took the ball over on the ten. Saranac then intercepted a Jim Hom pass and returned it for the only touchdown in the game. The Lion score came only minutes later when the Maple Valley defense backed the Redskins up to their own goal line and forced a bad snap on the punt try. The ball rolled out of the end zone for the two point safety. Don Harp led all Maple Valley runners with 51 yards, followed by Mike Hamilton with 46 yards. Defensively, the Lions were led by Don Hickey’s hard hitting and 10 tackles. Ken Hansbarger had 12 tackles in. Possibly his best effort of the year. Tim Burd played a good game, forcing a Saranac fumble that was covered by Andy Joostberns. Andy had 4 tackles to go with his fumble recovery. Another outstanding defensive effort was turned in by Gary Hamilton who had only three tackles, but all were for loss of yards.

Motor News which point out that the tire recall program is not cost-effective were: • The University of Michigan’s Highway Research Institute found tires responsible in just 30 of 2,500 accident investigations. Nineteen of those 30 accidents involved worn or underinflated tires which a recall program could not have prevented. • The National Bureau of Standards estimated in 1970 that tire failure contributed to only .06 to 1.6 percent of all highway accidents. • The Northwestern University Traffic Institute figures that less than one-tenth of one percent of tire disablements result in accidents. ■ U.S. Comptroller General Elmer B. Staats, reporting to Congress on federal vehicle safety testing, found auto tires “are not significant factors in traffic accidents.” “We should put our safety money where the biggest payoff will result, in terms of benefitting motorists, instead of bowing to emotional appeals not backed up by facts,” Motor News concludes.

Howard Wolpe speaks in Vermontville Wednesday Howard Wolpe, Democratic candidate for the 3rd Congressional District, spoke to interested citizens and answered questions at the Sugar Hut Cafe in Vermontville last Wednesday evening. Wolpe, State Representative from Kalamazoo, discussed problems the country is facing today such as inflation, unemployment, energy, security for senior citizens, unfair -tax laws, and more. “I think energy is a number one issue,” said Wolpe. “Oil companies also have control of coal and uranium, and have moved into agriculture. Mobil Oil recently bought Montgomery Wards. “We should limit each company to a single resource, and break up the huge conglomerates,” he continued. “The best protection for the consumer is competition. Government must promote alternative energy sources that will serve the interests of people, rather than work to protect the profits of large oil companies. “Our tax laws are unfair, the only ones benefiting by the system are the upper income people and large corporations,” 'said Wolpe. “I’d like to see the country move to a graduated income tax and eliminate tax loopholes. The general public should be relieved of the tax burden. “The present system makes it difficult for farmers and small businessmen,” he added. “For Continued on page 6 Howard Wolpe has been gusy on the campaign trail the past several weeks. �Maple Valley Newt, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, October 20,1976 — Page 2 American National Red Cross cautions local hunters — Firearms caused 2,700 deaths County, and a National Rifle in a single recent year, the Association Firearms Instructor.

CORKWELL Nashville Village Clerk regarded with full knowledge of their danger potential.” These safety procedures in the use of hunting equipment are an absolute “must” in reducing accidents, preventing injuries, and saving lives, Townsend said. He strongly recommended that hunters “and everyone else in Barry County” take a Red Cross first aid course to help make them more safety conscious and teach them emergency care of the injured. Hunters Safety courses are available thru local schools in cooperation with the Barry County Sheriff’s Department. Townsend listed these safety precautions for hunters: Gun storage and care:v Guns should be kept unloader and under lock and key in a sturdy cabinet, where children and others unqualified to handle them cannot get at them. Guns should be well cared for and inspected before use. Ammunition should be checked for age and condition of casings. A malfunction could result in a lost or misplaced shot and possible injury to the hunter or his companion. Before the hunt: A hunter should be prepared for the elements in the area he will cover. In cold weather he should wear sturdy boots and clothing that will be adequately warm. He should also wear highly visible clothing, and carry a compass, small flashlight, reliable lighter or matches in a waterproof case, strong knife, first aid kit, and map ofthe are he will be hunting. A loud whistle can be carried also, to summon aid if needed. On the hunt: Both law and courtesy require a hunter to ask permission to hunt on private property. The landowner can advise of location of other hunters in the area. When leaving the property, notify and thank the landowner. Be sure the ammunition is the right caliber for the gun to be used. In open field or brush, hunters should walk abreast One person out in front could be in danger from others. A left-handed Again receives "Watchdog of the Treasury Award" PROBLEM: Irresponsible Congressional Spending. ACTION: Brown was one of the first to advocate elimination of irresponsible “back-door” spending, a more critical audit of the effectiveness of Federal programs, and adherence to a Congres­ sional budget. RESULTS: A Congressional budget procedure has been estab­ lished which eliminates “back-door” spending, arid his proposal for an Office of Program Analysis and Evaluation has been recog­ nized in reform measures adopted by the Congress, both of which make the Congress a more responsible trustee of the expenditure of taxpayers’ dollars. Authorized by Citizens for Brown Committee - Paid for by National Congressional Committee marksman should always be placed on the right end of the group because of his tendency to swing right. Be alert for other hunters-.in the same area. The best and safest way to carry a gun while walking is cradled in muzzle pointing down. This lessens likelihood of injury in case of a fall. Inspect the gun muzzle often to make certain it hasn’t been accidentally plugged with earth or weeds. A plugged barrel could explode or split when the gun is fired, causing injury or death. One of the most publicized, yet unheeded, cautions on gun safety deals with the correct way to cross a fence while carrying a firearm. Especially in bird hunting, fence crossing is a frequent problem. Here are the recommended methods: 1. efore crossing a fence, open* the action of file gun or unload it. Push the gun laterally under the fence, then climb through or over at the butt end of the weapon. 2. When more than one hunter is involved, one person should hold the weapons while the other or others get over or through the fence. The weapons should then be passed across the fence, muzzle up. The other person can then cross the fence. A hunter should-be especially alert to any movement or noise. Many accidents have occured when a hunter shot at movement or noise. People, domestic livestock, and wind-blown branches have been blasted away by over-ansious hunters. Wait until your target is fully visible and a good shot is available before pulling the trigger. Each year many wounded animals escape, to die later, unfouhd. Approach downed game with caution - the animal may be only stunned Bear, elk and moose can kill a man and even a deer is extremely dangerous when wounded. Don’t carry game over your shoulders. A pair of antlers emerging from brush or trees is a perfect target for another vigilant hunter. Drag the game out, carry it on a travois (traveling poles), or dress it out, quarter it, and bring oiit the pieces. Bow and arrow hunting: Archery hunting, now highly developed with razoredged arrows and superpowered bows, has become popular. The arrows are extremely lethal. The bow hunter works under a decided disadvantage among other hunters. Since he usually wears camouflaged clothing and depends on stealth in stalking his game, he could be in much danger from hunters with firearms. Many times a special type of quiver is attached to file bow to improve firepower. When this type is used, the tips of the arrows should be covered with a protective hood. “A good hunter is aware of dangers involved in this sport and knows how to minimize them,” Townsend said, “Safe Hunting is NO Accident - and the Barry County Red Cross wants to keep it that way.” Nashville women Literary Club Mr. Don Haywood from Riverbend Travel Agency will present “A Romantic Caribbean Cruise” as the program for Wednesday night, Oct. 20 at 7:30 p.m., Fuller Street School, kindergarten room.

MAIN ST. NASHVILLE, MICH. �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, October 20, 1976 — Page 4 SwineFlu"shots available herein November From October through December, people across the younty will have to decide whether or not to receive a “SWINE FLU” shot through the free public clinics sponsored by local health departments as part of the National Influenza Immunization Program. In Barry, Eaton, and Ionia Counties, the public clinics will be held in November. “We>d like individuals to have enough information so that they can make an informed decision about whether or not to receive the vaccine,” says Dr. Jose Mejia, Health Officer for the Barry-Eaton, Ionia health district. "There are several misconceptions' about flu vaccinations which might discourage people from getting the innoculation,” he said. “For example, people often think that they can get the flu. from the vaccine. This is not true. Improved methods of producing and testing vaccines have reduced the number of side effects greatly. Because the virus used to, make the vaccine is killed, no one can get actual influenze from receiving a flu vaccination.” Some of the other questions often asked and the answers, according to Dr. Mejia are: What is Swine Flu? Swine flu, called a New Jersey influenza by scientists, is a respiratory disease caused by a virus. It' represents a major change from the recent “Hong Kong” and “Asian” types. When these changes happen, epidemics are likely to occur because almost no one has any natural body defense against the virus. Generally the epidemics caused by type A strains tend to be more frequent and severe. Because the virus is similar, to one that causes influenza in pigs, it has been nicknamed ‘swine flu’. Why is there a special immunization program for this type of flu? Two reasons. This is the first time a vaccine has been available before a flu- epidemic. Secondly, the 'virus has the potential for causing a severe epidemic, perhaps like the one in 1918 in which more than half a million Americans died. Scientists cannot say for cartain than an epidemic will occur, but the potential threat is real and many experts strongly recommend the swine flu immunization program. Recommendations for all other childrep under 18 years are expected later this month. B. Persons should not receive the vaccine if: 1. They are allergic to eggs. 2. They currently have a fever. 3. They have received other vaccine within 14 days. Who should be immunized? A. 1) All persons 18 years of age and older, and, 2) children from 3-17 years with heart disease, chronic bronchopulmonary diseases such as asthma or cystic fibrosis, chronic kidney disease, diabetes and other metabolic disease, chronic neuromuscular disorders, malignancies and immuno-deficient states. Will I get sick from the shot? Probably not. These vaccines have been field tested and shown to produce very few side effects. Some people who receive the vaccine - 2 percent - will have fever and soreness during the first 48 hours after vaccination. About 25 percent will have some tenderness or redness in the arm where the injection was given. Will the vaccine protect me from other types of flu? No. For certain high risk members of the population, older people, and those chronically ill with lung, heart or some other diseases, a special vaccine has been made that also protects against another milder influenze strain, “A-Vic tori a” . Manufacturers do not have the capacity to make enough of both vaccines for the entire population. That’s why it was decided to protect everyone from swine flu and only those who most need the protection from “A-Victoria”. Put yourbills on ‘ice Stop skating on thin ice.

But actually, the farmer only gets 6 cents for every $1.00 increase. The farmer’s very existence is threatened by greedy corporate interests and unfair tax laws. Wolpe is also opposed to wasteful spending of the taxpayers’ money. “I voted for an increase in cost of living for senior citizens,” said Wolpe. “My opponent, Garry Brown, voted for only a limited increase, yet he voted to raise his own salary and to help finance the war in Angola.” Wolpe would like Congress to pass a full employment bill to encourage private industry to create new jobs and provide public service jobs when necessary. -“We must preserve the jobs we now have;’’ he said.' “I’d much rather have people on jobs than collecting unemployment and welfare. This "would help relieve people of their tax loads and get the economy going again.” Wolpe plans to have three full time administrative assistants in the area, one for Kalamazoo Maple Valley school lunch Monday, Oct. 20 Lasagna, green beans, cole slaw, bread & butter, milk.

Our service offices .have worked in Kalamazoo, and I know it can work in the entire Congressional District. “Everyone may not agree with all my opinions, but they know I don’t change my views for different audiences. “When I vote, I try to get as much expert input from areas of various information and make careful judgements. “I feel good about my chances on November 2, but I’ll need everyone’s support.” Campaigning with the Wolpe supporters was Travis Cole, Democratic candidate for Eaton County Commissioner of District 10. Cole has worked for the Democratic party since 1972, and was; active for the George Wallace presidential campaigns. He ’ is currently on the state central committee of the Democratic party. “I decided to run for office because I don’t feel a candidate should run unopposed on the ballot,” said Cole. “If I’m elected, I promise to keep the public better informed about what is being done at the county level. I will let the public know how and why I voted on particular issues. The communication between the county and the public is very bad now. “I’d like to see the roads in Eaton County improved.

At no time does he need an expression of this supporting fellowship more than at the time of mourning. Jesus said, " Blessed are they who mourn for they shall be comforted".

Carl’s Market Nashville, Michigan At the November 2, 1976 General Election, the voters of Eaton County will be asked to determine the fate of a County "Separate Tax Limitation” proposal. This proposal would stabilize the 15 mil tax limitation at its current rate for the next five years. The rate being: Eaton County 5.5 mils, Eaton Intermediate 0.2 mils, Schools 8.3 mils, and Townships 1.0 mil for a total of 15.0 mils. Passage of this proposal means that the 15 mils previously distributed by the Tax Allocation Board to the County, Intermediate, Schools, and Townships would be established by the voters for a five year period. Approval of this proposal would enable all of these units of government to budget more effectively by knowing their allocated millage at budget time. Passage does not alter the tax rate, it simply fixes the distribution of the basic 15 mils as it exists for the 1976 tax year. Defeat of this proposal means that the tax allocation board would be reconvened to distribute the basic 15 mils for 1977 and subsequent tax years. As chairman of this 1976 Tax Allocation Board, 1 urge voter approval of this County proposition. Sincerely, Stephen A. Hayden Chairman, Eaton County Tax Allocation Board News of our Servicemen Nashville Cub Scout news School Night for Cub Scouts was held September 30.

Your Township Board recently decided to ask the voters to approve a one mill tax levy for the Fire Department This money will be used for the purpose of providing fire department equipment, maintaining the equipment and housing, and operating the department. Castleton Township voters approved a similar proposal at the August 3rd Primary Election. Fire insurance rates are set according to the quality and history of protection within a district and according to the age of the equipment, which, if over twenty years of age, will tend to increase the fire insurance rates. Of the four units classified as fire fighting equipment, only two are less than twenty years old. One of these is eleven and the other is nine years old, which means these two will reach retirement age at almost the same time and will cause an almost unbearable cost even at today’s prices. The department needs a tanker with a capacity of 2,000 gallons which would enable them to get more water on a fire at an earlier and the most critical state of the blaze. This vehicle would replace the 1952 Ford truck which is suffering from functional obsolescense due partly to today’s regulations and methods of fire fighting. The cost of operating the Castleton Maple Grove Nashville Fire Department is shared equally by the three units of government and comes from their respective general funds. The money raised for equipping and maintaining the housing of the department by extra voted millage cannot be used for any purpose other than than approved by the voters. If this millage proposal is approved, it will enable the combined fire board to authorize the purchase of the much needed tanker without borrowing to do so and enable them to meet the cost of replacement of the 1965 fire truck which will have to be considered within one year after the expiration of the collection of this voted millage. This will have the effect of staggering the cost of replacements in the future after this millage approval expires with about 8 to 10 years between major expenditures. Until the present we have been able to equip and operate our own ambulance service without using tax monies. This policy shall continue as long as possible. So far for the year 1976, the Fire Department has answered about 50 fire calls, which is way ahead of the total of 43 calls for all of 1975. We have one of the most effecient and well-trained departments within a very large area. With approval of this millage, this record will continue, and, I believe, be improved upon ifpossible. It might be added that a new, more efficient, and much more dependable method of notifying the Fire Department in case of an emergency is being considered. Money for this expenditure would come from the equipment fund. This change hopefully would result eventually in a savings in the cost of operating the department. In 1974 you paid two mills for Fire Department, in 1975 and 1976 no mills. If this proposal, passes you will pay one mill for 1977, 1978, 1979, and 1980. Every property owner can calculate their cost by multiplying their total State Equalized .Value by .001. In other words, for each $10,000 in State Equalized Value, the cost to that property owner would be $10.00 for that year. An insurance rate increase caused by loss of efficiency and-or over age and outdated equipment could very well cost more than this. I hope this notice has explained the need of this millage; however, if you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me or any of the other Board members.

It may surprise you to know, however, that no two funerals are alike. Each service brings its own requirements. The de­ sires of the family are given first consideration, always. In addition, the clergyman’s requests must be considered. Then the many details must be arranged around those requests. Each service, therefore, is distinct and follows a program of its own.

He worked effectively with Congressman LUd Ashley, a Democrat of Toledo, Ohio, in co-atrthoring and guiding to enactment the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, which has been characterized by Democrat Senator John Sparkman of Alabama as “the most important piece of housing legislation since 1934 and the most im­ portant community development legislation since 1949 . . .

Without your (Garry's) total in­ volvement and your strong non-partisan effort in producing this bill, we would not have been able to get a bill out of subcommittee, apart from successfully guiding it through the full committee and full House . . . the presence of Garry Brown in future Congresses will represent the continuation of *m enlightened and careful legislator that our many urban communities across the nation and our many hundreds of thousands of low- and moderate-in­ come families will need over the next decade if their interests are to be successfully represented in the House of Representatives.’’ Similarly, Brown was the key Minority Member of the Congress in accomplishing the passage of the Urban Mass Transportation Assistance Act of 1974 in which case he joined with Democrat Sena­ tor Harrison Williams and Democrat Representa­ tive Joseph Minish, both of New Jersey, in a most effective bipartisan effort to provide much needed Federal assistance to the public transportation sys­ tems of communities throughout the nation; this legislation has resulted in communities in the Third District of Michigan receiving hundreds of thou­ sands of dollars to purchase buses and equipment and upgrade their public transportation systems. At this time when all of us feel there is too much petty politics and partisan bickering going on in Washington, we truly need the kind of biparti­ san efforts Garry Brown has provided.

Hosted by the Good Shepherd Prayer Community at St. Joseph Parish, the meeting will include a prayer meeting, two teachings, a “tongues” workshop, presentation, of the film “Alabare”, a meeting for prayer group leaders, and a Pot-Faith supper. The first teaching will be, “The Purpose of It All - God’s Ultimate Intention for Our Lives,” given by Mr. Harry Johnson, a co­ ordinator of the Good Shepherd Community. According to Mr. Paul Bede, another Good Shepherd coordinator, “This talk will present a background of the Father’s eternal purpose which is important to understand if we are going to view our life in every part of God’s program as it is perfectly related to the whole.” The second teaching will be given by Paul Bede and is entitled, “Further Implications,” referring to God’s ultimate intention worked out in our lives in particular, concrete ways from day to day. Both teachings are designed to help establish the proper foundation for up-coming Diocesan Charismatic Meetings set for January 8, 1977, and March 12, 1977. The teachings at the Meetings will be taped-recorded and duplicated on site for same-day distribution.

Thanksgiving clothing drive set for Nov. 21-27 The annual Thanksgiving Clothing Collection sponsored by Catholic ReliefServices has as its theme this year, “Blanket the World with Love.” The collection will be held in many churches of the Diocese of Kalamazoo from November 21 through November 27. Diocesan Director, Rev. Eugene Sears, announced the opening of this year’s drive. He stressed that while the world’s poor and needy can use all the blankets they can get, there is also a continuing need for lightweight clothing. “Most of those persons who benefit from the annual Thanksgiving Clothing Collection live in the warmer, tropical areas of the world,” said Fr. Sears. “Lightweight clothing is more than worth its weight to those who live around the world,” he said. “The ideal donations to the collection are garments made of cotton, nylon, rayon and polyester. There is also a constant need for infants’ layettes and children’s clothing as well as work clothes for men,” he added. Last year Catholics throughout the United States donated more than 11% million pounds of clothing, blankets and bolt goods to the Thanksgiving collection. These donations, having a value of $16.6 million, were distributed to poor and needy families in 49 countries overseas. Fr. Sears pointed out that CRS, in its East Coast processing center, maintains a 500-ton reserve of clothing and blankets to be able to meet any demands resulting from emergencies or disaster situations. “Because of DON GILMER Government cannot do all things for all people...we can’t afford it. We must reorder our spending toward education and controlling crime and away from senseless pork barrel programs. its reserve of clothing and blankets, this past year CRS was able to send immediate and urgently needed help to people made homeless by the earthquake in Guatemala and to the victims of the civil war in Lebanon,” he said. Fr. Sears emphasized that the clothing collected in the parish churches is not only used to clothe the naked. Many of the garments are reprocessed in centers in developing countries. Thousands of boys and girls are trained in tailoring and dressmaking using the materials which have been donated to the Thanksgiving appeal. In many countries, CRS sponsors “Clothing for Work” programs. These programs enable people to take part in a community improvement project and to receive clothing and blankets as their reward for their labors. Fr. Sears urged all to “contribute all spare usable clothing and blankets to their local Catholic church during the appeal week. Last year, thanks to the generosity and immediate concern of American Catholics, CRSjWas able to ship 105,222 bales of articles of clothing and blankets overseas. “The success of the annual collection depends on the cooperation and generosity of our people at home and benefits millions of people abroad,” he said.

Through 25 years of experience as a practicing attorney in the city of Grand Ledge, Hudson Elliot Deming has demonstrated his outstanding qualifi­ cations for the office. Deming, 58 years old, has been city attorney for Grand Ledge since 1952, and has also served as attorney for the Villages of Mulliken and Sunfield.. From 1954 until 1968, when the District Court System was established, Deming was elected successively and served as one of two Circuit Court Commissioners in Eaton County. He served three terms on the Eaton County Allocation Board. A Masonic Thought'for Daily Living from: from Kalamazoo. He and his wife were partners in the practice of law’until her death in 1955. In 1967, Deming married Kathryn A. Baird, a former Lansing schoolteacher. A son, John H. Deming, is a law student in Sacramento, California, and a daughter, Susan A. Baird, a graduate of Michigan State University and the Lansing Community College School of Nursing, is employed at a Lansing hospital. Deming is a Mason, a Rotarian, and a member of the American Legion. He is a member of the State Bar of Michigan^ the American Bar Association, and the Eaton County Bar Association. He is a past president of the Eaton County Bar Association. Hudson Deming... a wise choice for Circuit Judge Deming was born in Vanderbilt, Michigan. He was graduated Valedictorian from his high school class, and in 1939 earned his B.S. degree at Michigan State Normal College (now Eastern Michigan University), and in the same year he was awarded a B.C.S. degree from Cleary College. After serving as a teacher in Armada, Michigan, and with the National Youth Administration in Lansing, Deming entered the United States Coast Guard in 1943. He was commissioned as Ensign and saw service in the South Pacific and Alaska. Following his resignation from the Coast Guard in 1948 as a lieutenant'(j.g.), Deming entered University of Michigan Law School from which he received his law degree in 1951. He took, and passed, the Michigan Bar Examination prior to graduation from law school; he was allowed to take the exam early because of the Korean War. After being admitted to practice in 1951, he married Paula Harrington, an attorney . Hudson Deming’s attitude toward the office of Circuit Judge can best be explained in his own words: “It is because of my experiences that I believe I have certain qualities necessary for a judge to conduct a fair trial. I submit that some of these qualities are: (1) PATIENCE - patience with parties, jurors, witnesses, laymen and court personnel. (2) OBJECTIVITY - a judge must be without bias or prejudice so that he can render a fair and honest decision. (3) HUMILITY - without humility a judge overlooks his own shortcomings and can fail to consciously attempt to avoid them. (4) WISDOM - a judge must have the mature judgement which comes from a broad range of learning and experiences. It is this judgement which grants him the power ofjudging rightly after he has followed the soundest course of action. We give our judges great power to affect our lives and welfare. It is the judge's wisdom which insures that this power is exercised with discretion."

It’s a time when summer’s warm breath fades, and autumn’s frigid tongue lashes out to chill the bones. It’s a time when trees discard their pastel foilage, casting crisp, brown leaves fluttering to the ground. October is an eventful time. It’s a time when sportsmen polish their trusty guns and invade the woods with their favorite hounds. It’s the World Series. It’s a time of toothless jack-o-lanterns and pint-sized goblins in the night Yet, with all this, October would not be complete without autumn’s natural juice, apple cider. This is the second season that Dennis Kruger and his mother-in­ law, Joyce Shook, have made the tasty beverage at his farm north of Vermontville on Irish Road. “It’s actually a family project,” says Dennis. “Everyone joins in and lends a hand.” Dennis and his wife Pam purchased the farm, equipped with an out-building once used for dairy cows. The milking parlour was all concrete, with a pit and drains already built in and lots of storage space in the barn, making it a perfect set-up for a cider press. “Cider-making is relatively simple,” says Dennis. The apples are lifted on an elevator and put through a grinder where the apples are crushed to pulp. The pulp is coarse cloth dropped onto spread over a 28 inch wooden rack and wrapped tight. Another rack is placed on top of the first and a second package is wrapped. This process continues for several layers. Several wooden blocks of cribbing are placed on top to balance the load and take up the space between the pulp and the top of the press. The pulp is then squeezed. The juice drains down to a holding tank below the press and then passes through several filters. The cider is then poured into gallon jugs and refrigerated. “We keep the cider at about 29 degrees, so it crystalizes,” says Dennis. “It doesn’t freeze until preservatives in cider, it will begin to ferment after this period of time and become ‘hard’. We try to keep about 60 gallons on hand.” Last year Dennis and his family made over 7,000 gallons of cider. “We either buy apples from area orchards and sell the cider to customers who stop in, or customers bring their own apples to us,” says Dennis. “We use a blend of three kinds of apples whenever we can, because it makes the best tasting and most productive cider,” he continued. “We use Macintosh as a base and a tart taste, Jonathons for its large quantity ofjuice, and Delicious for its sweetness. “We can made three gallons of cider from a bushel of good apples,” says Dennis. “When things get rolling, we can produce 110 gallons in one hour.” October will be with us forever, Dennis Kruger (right) and his father, Russ Kruger, run the apple juice through a filter.

It is merely a renewal of the 1 mill for Fire Department, and % mill for the Library we have been paying for the past twenty years. Unless ‘YES’ is voted on all four propositions, they will fail. I’m sure we all realize our Fire Department and Library are most necessary to our community.

FOR SALE I offer my services for the next two years to the voters in Castleton and Maple Grove Townships, Commissioner District No. 7. ■4^ -------------------- ®tW3O ii w As your Commissioner for the last two years, I have voted NO on any proposal that in. my judgement did not provide OneHundred Dollars of Services or Material Goods for each One-Hundred Dollars of Taxpayers’ money spent and will continue the same action in the future. The city of Hastings was confronted with the problem of maintaining the Airport or closing same. When the County Commis­ sioners were first asked to contribute $7,000.00 to match the same dollars from .the city, I voted “NO”, because I firmly believed that the County Commissioners were entitled to more time to study the economics involved and how much County­ wide benefits are derived from continuing the operation of the airport. A committee of four commissioners were appointed and met with the Hastings City Council and their airport committee. This meeting was very informal and productive. The Council extended tlje deadline for closing the Airport until the County Com­ missioners could reconsider. The second vote was taken on October 12th and I voted YES, with the reservation that a study be made as soon as possible to determine how essential the Airport operation is to the economic growth of the County. The County Farm Bureau at their recent Convention passed a Resolutipn in favor of Continuing the airport operation and, any County wide organization that believe in continuing the airport if at all possible should not be ignored. The present plan will keep the operation going until July 1, 1977. I personally believe those using the Airport and Hangers should contribute more to the maintenance and operation to at least make it a break even operation. State wide no small airports are a money making venture, most all being subsidized from some outside source. I am hopeful that I have made a sale and all that is needed to close the transaction is that the voters'of my District take the time to mark an X before my name on the Ballot in Maple Grove Township and pull down the lever before my name on the Voting machines in Castleton Township including the Village of Nashville.

The Lions will be assured at least a tie for the top spot by beating Lakeview in the Maple Valley homecoming game. Meanwhile, the team is still riding high after the vistory over Portland last week. The first win ever for Maple Valley over Portland did not go unnoticed by the Portland fan either. The letter below is from the Seal family and was written Saturday after the game with Portland to the Les Fox family of Vermontville: of Maple Valley on this fine sprit. We hope you will convey our feelings to the board, administrators, the teachers, coaches, and the players. Thanks, Dear Fox Family, Alma College Admissions Representative Elizabeth Hostetler is scheduled to be at Maple Valley High School on Thursday, October 28, to provide information to interested students concerning Alma's academic programs and other aspects of campus life. Maple Valley students will be able to learn from Ms. Hostetler about Alma’s new career preparation program which integrates liberal arts education with career planning and counseling to better prepare them to face the job market successfully. Students who wish to talk to Ms. Hostetler should contact the high school counseling office for an appointment. Just a note of congratulations on the football game Friday nite. I think Maple Valley played a fine football game. It was quite a battle, but Maple Valley proved to be the better team. I think what impressed me about the game, other than the fact that it was hard fought, was the spirit of good sportsmanship and clean play that was evident throughout the contest. The players, coaches, cheerleaders, students, and the fans were all part of this spirit. We feel that this type of action should not go without response and should be highly commended. We compliment all Sincerely, The Seal Family: Gordy, Liz, Cary, Rory, Brad, Darcy Dan, Stacy & Shawn ALMA REP.

The dedication began with a luncheon at the Nashville Steak House, and continued with a visit to the old water tower, followed by the dedication at the new facilities. The $400,000 project included the installation of approximately 18,000 feet of water main and the construction of a new 400,000 gallon tank. The new tank in Fuller Heights replaces the old standpipe in Putnam Park that was erected in 1892. The old tower will remain as an historical landmark. Village President George Frith expressed appreciation for the cooperation of local residents and governmental agencies in the development of the project. The program was financed with the assistance of the FHA, which provided a $360,000 loan at five percent for 40 years.The village paid $39,000 out of its own funds. The improvements were designed by Williams and Works, consulting engineers from Grand Rapids. Construction contractors were J.A. Strickler Co. and John W. Potter Inc., both of Grand Rapids; Caldwell Tank Inc. of Louisville, Kentucky, and Superior Electronic of Lansing. Attending the dedication were Bob Abbott, Bill Meyer, and Russ Keech of the FHA; Fred Timmer and Patsy Clark of Williams and Works; Bob Chaprnka from Senator Dick Alien’s office; village attorney Dick Shaw; village officials and others.

The neckline was high, trimmed with a narrow lace. She chose a white hat with a sheer bow at the back with a matching lace encircling the crown. Her bridal bouquet was a nosegay of white and orange roses with baby’s breath, wheat, bronze and white mums. Having been close friends most of their lives, it was only natural that Patty Rathburn be maid of honor and Sandra Townsend, Laurie Williams and Lee Wright attend her as bridesmaids. Beth Starring was a star, as she came down the aisle placing her rose petals for the lovely bride. The girls wore dresses of green, tan, orange, and yellow with sheer flowered ruffledjackets made by the bride’s mother. Their hats were the same color as their dress and the large bow at the back matched their jackets. Small fireside baskets filled with bronze mums, baby’s breath, wheat and cattails were the flowers they carried. Mike wore a two-toned brown tux, an orange rose with wheat in his lapel and his usual friendly smile. As best man, Randy Fowler stood beside him coaching him all the way.

Maple Valley’s tough defense thwarted several Lakeview scoring drives, but could generate little offense of its own. Throughout the game Maple Valley had its back to the wall, but continually rose to the occasion to spoil the Wildcats’ attack. Seven times Lakeview threatened to score within the Maple Valley ten-yard line, but came away with only one touchdown and one field goal against the Lions defense. The Wildcats picked up another TD on a pass interception. Twice, the Lions stopped Lakeview within a yard of the goal line. Twice, the Wildcats attempted field goals, converting only one. ' Both teams were tied for the Tri-Central League lead with 4-0 records. Despite the 17-0 final score, it was one of the hardesthitting contests in the area this season.

Much praise to our Greyhound driver who was cautious enough not to cross a narrow wooden bridge until a park ranger assured us busses cross it every day. On the way down, we stopped at Neil Armstrong Air and Space Museum at Wapakoneta, Ohio, and had a guided tour of Berea College, Ky., where needy students can work for an education.

This car, which holds 120 persons, travels 1500 ft. per minute or about 17 miles per hour and takes 10 minutes to reach the mountain top. The food was excellent and the music by Bavarian Fun Maker Band was enjoyed by all. We also visited Chris tus Gardens which is a beautiful building constructed of Tennessee and Georgia marble.

In the belief that the thoughts I wish to set down here will be, or at least should be, of interest to the community at large, I’m also sending a copy of the letter to be printed in the Maple Valley News. After our general discussion of customer parking at our last Chamber meeting, I came away feeling that we all pretty well sensed that we had touched upon a vital topic, but had no clear-cut consensus of what should be done, or how we should go about it. Hence, the purpose of this letter. As I see it, right at this time, we face both a threat and an opportunity. First the threat, as pointed out to us by one of our Council members present. The statement was again made, as you will recall, that definitely, in less than two years’ time, the state will force a ban of all parking on M-66 - our Main Street. We’ve all probably heard this said before. I, for one, have, until now, discounted it with the thought that “they can’t do this to us,” or the feeling that the state would like to see such a ban, but really couldn’t make it stick, etc. However, we’ve heard it from so many “reliable sources” as the media likes to put it, that I feel it is high time we found out once and for all whether or not this treat is real. If it is real, we’ve got our work cut out for us, but I’ll touch on that a bit later. Next, I want to point out the opportunity I see coming our way. It seems quite obvious that once the Cedar Point Park is built at Battle Creek, our M-66 is going to become a much more heavily travelled route in the summertime. Our highway will be the most logical North-South connector route between 1-96 and 1-94 for those going to and coming from the park. In addition, a much greater percentage of tourists from Indiana and Illinois and points south coming into Michigan for a Northern vacation, will now enter the state in the Battle Creek area to first spend some time at the park. What more direct route to continue their Northern trip, than M-66 after leaving the park? The opportunity, of course, is that a certain percentage of these will stop in our town and do some shopping or get a meal. That is, they will if they see a place to park. The sad truth is that as things now stand, they often would not see a place to park, and if the state does indeed stop all parking on Main Street, they would never see a place and our opportunity for increased trade would vanish into thin air. At this point, some will say, yes, but we have parking in the rear of the stores. To this, I say that the average tourist would not know this, and would continue on, deciding to stop in the next town instead. To continue this absurdity a little further, as I understand it the state would not even allow us to erect adequately sized signs to inform the public of the parking area in the rear. In many ways, this sounds like a hopeless situation and probably it would be, if it were not for a most fortunate circumstance. Nashville is lucky to have right in the center of its business district a municipally owned, adequately sized, highly visible parking lot. All that needs to be done is to remove a few trees, erect some signs and there we have it - a ready-made lot that would be the envy of any forward looking community. That’s right, this lot is now known as Central Park, but it is a park in. name only, for you know and we all know that it is rarely if ever used for any constructive purpose. Now that the theater is gone, it should hold at least 25 cars. While towns all over the country are realizing how vital adequate parking space is, and are spending untold sums buying and tearing down buildings to get space, we have it right here for the taking. How lucky can we get? In all fairness to the shoppers, I would like to see a one or two hour parking limit installed, if accepted by the general public. Indeed, it would probably be better is it were, thereby reserving it for those who wished to stop to shop. Those wanting' to park for longer periods would find ample room behind the stores. I realize that some will find this idea controversial and hard to accept, but my hope is that all Chamber members will readily Continued next page �Maple Valley News. Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday. November 3,1976 - Page 11 Barry-Eaton health departments need volunteers for 'Swine Flu Clinics' The Barry-Eaton, and Ionia Health Departments are reviewing their emergency and clinic procedures to assure adequacy at all swine flue immunization clinics in November.

Corkwell, Clerk to be available to help us during the clinic hours, on a rotation basis. We intend to do everything possible to make the clinics safe and comfortable for the public,” Dr. Mejia said. The local swine flue immunization program is being run almost entirely through volunteers and we still need more in Barry County”, says Dr. Jose Mejia, Health Officer for Barry, Eaton and Ionia Counties. Never before in the history of the Barry-Eaton District Health Department has such a large scale program relied so heavily on the support and energies of the community, according to Dr. Mejia. According to Mr. William Barr, who is the coordinator for Barry County, about 30 peoplee are needed to staff any one clinic. “That means we need a total of 150 people to contribute one day a piece.” “There is a job for everyone we need clerks, greeters, interviewers, nurses, physicians, and trained emergency personnel.” People interested in volunteering for the flue clinics should call the Health Department at (616) 945-9516 and leave their name. Already, hundreds of volunteer hours have gone into planning and publicity. “We are very Pre-school story hour to start The Fall session of the pre­ school Story Hour for both pre­ schoolers and their parents will begin November 8.

Marie. That total represents nearly 725,000 people, according to latest U.S. Census figures, which is actually 25,000 less than the number who are expected to buy licenses that allow them to try their luck in outsmarting a white tail. About 1 in 7 hunters should be successful in taking home venison, which was the experience last year when a similar number of hunters shot 106,550 deer in Michigan, including a record harvest of 96,370 bucks. DNR wildlife biologists, who monitor deer numbers yearround, say Michigan’s deer population again exceeds the onemillion mark - for the second year in a row, and only the second time in nearly two decades - due to a combination of successful habitat management programs by the DNR, . an active commercial timber market in some parts of the state, plus some good luck with recent mild winter weather which together generally developed better food supplies for deer. r “There’s a heck of a lot of deer and plenty of deer hunters, so 1976 has all the necessary ingredients for another exciting and satisfying season,” observes the DNR’s Dave Jenkins, Wildlife Division Chief. “Weather conditions could alter the success of the hunt, and so could the fact that the season begins on a Monday - instead of a Saturday like last year - but biologists are generally quite optimistic about the prospects again this year.” Jenkins says most hunters traditionally go afield on “opening day.” Many others bound for the northern woods, probably will stay near their favorite trails throughout the Farm Bureau Services announces shell egg facility sale Farm Bureau Services, Inc.

He says that contrary to some reports that play up the number of fatal hunting accidents (nine were recorded in 1975), the accident rate per 100,000 deer hunters has been steadily decreasing for over 30 years. “Think safety and hunt safely, and one’s chances for an accident-free season is almost guaranteed,” says Jenkins. “And 24,170 whitetails a year ago.

Practically painless, the guns quickly inject a stream of vaccine by high pressure, not a needle. They weigh a streamlined 12 pounds and can give up to 2000 injections a day. This fall, they'll be used in clinics right here in Michigan by people who care about your good health. Doctors, nurses and public health personnel want to head off the possibility of a swine flu epidefnic. Many of them will be working as volunteers in your community during the immunisation period. No one wants to catch the flu. Particularly swine flu, which many health experts believe caused the 19.18 epidemic, the worst flu plague-, in history. That one hit hard at people in their 20 s and 30’s as well as the ill and aged. It killed more than 20 million worldwide, including half a million Americans. When physicians discovered the A/New Jersey influenza (“swine flu") virus this February, they were concerned. Not only did it closely resemble the antibodies in survivors of the 1918 flu, but it was a new "A" flu strain. A type flu appears about every ten years and populations are largely unprotected. The last A type flu was Hong Kong, which killed 33,000 people in the U.S. and cost $3.8 billion in medical expenses and workdays. That’s why physicians and scientists from the Center for Disease Control, National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the Food and Drug Administration strongly recommended to the President that a mass swine flu immunization program be launched. Because flu spreads fast, through sneezes and coughs, you can't stop an epidemic after it starts. And there’s no cure for flu. A flu shot is the only protection that's safe and effective. The swine flu shots will be available free of charge through your local health department, for a limited time only. Your newspaper, TV, or radio stations wili be good sources of specific information, in addition to your local health department. Of course, you may prefer to obtain a shot from your personal physician, ihat s fine. The important thing is to be protected. So take the A strain the safe way, in a swine flu Shot!

As years go by, the roots grow deeper and stronger creating a lasting foundation with the surrounding earth. People also plant “roots” in much the same way. Over a number of years, people become attached to a community that offers them happiness and a sense of belonging. Yet unlike the tree, there is a time for many people to move on, uproot, and leave good friends and pleasant memories behind, and establish fresh “roots” in a new home. The Nashville area has given Cecil Barrett a good life, and he has provided nourishment to the community in return. Though Cecil will miss the Castleton Township Hall, Simon’s Pharmacy, and other familiar places, this week he and his wife, Juanita, are moving to Lakeland, Florida, to start a new life. “This area has been; good to me,” said Cecil, “and I’ll miss all my friends and the good people here. But, it’s gotten so I can hardly tolerate the cold weather anymore, and I think I’ll feel much better in a warmer climate. However, we still plan to come back and visit all our friends and relatives in the summers.” Cecil first came to the Nashville area as a young child with his parents, uncle, and grandparents, who migrated here from Indiana in 1912. Cecil’s father was a carpenter and millwright and had to go where work was available. After some years in Barryville, his dad got a job in Three Rivers, so Cecil finished school there. During the summers, Cecil always came back to the Nashville area where he stayed with his grandparents and uncle. Following high school graduation in 1930, Cecil returned to the area. His first job was at the Farmers Cooperative Creamery Association where he worked until 1948. After two years with Montgomery Wards in Hastings, he started working at Furnace and Douse Drugstore. When John Simon bought the store, Cecil stayed on and continued working there until his retirement this past August “I came back to the area because you can’t beat the friendliness and good people here,” said Cecil. “I liked the small town atmosphere and the quality of living in Nashville.” Cecil married Leora Baas in 1930. She died in- 1969, the day after the Nashville Centennial Celebration. He married Juanita Ryder in 1971, whose husband, Harvey Wilson, died in 1966. Cecil served as Castelton Township clerk for 25 years, was a member and president of the Nashville Village Council, and was one of the organizers and president of the Castleton-Maple Grove-Nashville Fire Board. “Before the Fire Board was formed, it was only a village fire department,” said Cecil. “It was just too much a load for the department to serve the rural areas. There wasn’t enough equipment and the equipment they had was too old. “All the area people working together and their loyal support made the present fire department possible. We bought more modern equipment making it possible to save much more property; Insurance rates have improved and the people seem pleased with the service. “All the vehicles are radio equipped now, and special phones have been installed in several of the volunteers’ homes where they can blow the fire whistle by the push of a button. “Our boys make up the finest rural fire department and ambulance service around, Cecil continued. fire ““Today Today the the area departments are able to help each other where 15 years ago many homes were lost because the departments weren’t equipped to assist one another.” Since Cecil has been township clerk,, he has seen voter registration increase from 600 to 1519. “We used to be able to make more decisions without approval from big government,” said "The state should Cecil.. recognize that local government knows the needs of the people more than the people in Lansing. But with the population growth in the country, I can see how some of the state regulations are good. Michigan The Township Association has been a fine influence. "Our township board has always, worked as a team, and we’ve had fine cooperation from the people of the township. “I had a ball at the township hall on Election Day,” said Cecil. “It was a great opportunity to see Continued on page 8 Cecil and his wife Juanita are looking forward to their new life in Florida.

The busses will have International chassis with Wayne bodies at a cost per bus of $14,980.49 and a total cost of $44,941.47. The cost per bus last year was $14,518.30. General fund bills in 1he amount of $35,114.15 were approved for payment as well as transferring the October 22 payroll in the amount of $67,997.07 and the November 5 payroll in the amount of $66,464.01 to the payroll account. Mrs. Hildred Peabody, coordinator of the special education programs, presented a general report on the special education programs now being offered in the Maple Valley Schools along with the special services provided through the Eaton Intermediate School District. The local school district presently employs eight full time teachers which includes six classroom teachers, one consultant working with students in the various buildings, and the speech therapist working with students in all buildings. Mrs. Peabody stated that special education teachers and school administrators were considering various methods of reporting student progress for students enrolled in the various special education programs. The school district is presently transporting, students to special education programs in Lansing, Battle Creek, and the trainable program at the Eaton Intermediate School District building in Charlotte. Approval was given a new kindergarten report card which had earlier been approved by the educational advisory committee and professional study committee. The new report card will cover the main areas including social and emotional growth, work habits, language, listening skills, mathematics, gross motor skills, and fine motor skills. Approval was also given a program enabling parents of children enrolled in kindergarten to purchase milk and graham crackers for snack time on a semester basis. It isn’t necessary that partnes participate in this program, although the kindergarten teachers, administrators, and committee members believe that such a program will limit the amount of time taken for snacks enabling more time to be directed toward the general instructional program. The cost per semester for graham crackers and milk will be $5.50, graham crackers alone $1.50, and milk alone $4.00. A reimbursement will be made to the parent in event the child is absent for a long illness or if the child is moving from the school district.

According to lung association data, chronic lung disease is the second highest cause of additions to the Social Security disability benefit roles in people under the age of 65. “Those who have contributed to Christmas Seals in years past should already have their 1976 Seals,” Mr. Ceasar said.

Fresh Cranberry Chutney Mold The Maple Valley defense pursues Middleville running back, Mike Sanford (21). (Maple Valley News photo) This fall the most bountiful harvest ever of fresh, ripe, plump and piquant cranberries will be in markets. These marvelous native berries can be used in so many recipes from soups, to stews, for relishes and sauces, breads, pies and cakes. Take advantage of the pick of the crop and buy a quantity how and freeze what you don’t use at once. To freeze, simply pop unopened bags or boxes right into the freezer. When ready to use frozen cranberries, just follow the directions for any fresh cranberry recipe. n For a hostess who wants to be carefree, serving her guests buffet style makes good sense. Consider a sparkling Cranberry Chutney Mold to compliment a curried chicken or lamb in a chafing dish. Fresh cranberries can also be used decoratively in glass containers to add colorful adornment to your gracious table setting. A really festive and elegant touch. 1 2 4 3 CRANBERRY CHUTNEY MOLD (Serves 8) 1 bottle (1 pound, 1 ounce) pound (4 cups) Ocean Spray India mango chutney, fresh or frozen-fresh cran­ . chopped berries, rinsed and drained cups sugar 2 cups finely chopped celery cups water .2 can (11 ounces each) mandarin oranges, drained envelopes unflavored gelatin Combine cranberries, sugar and 2 cups of water.

Pour mixture into a 2quart mold. Chill until firm, fo unmold, dip mold into luke­ warm water for a few seconds, tap to loosen and invert onto platter. Garnish with bite-size greens, orange slices and celery curls if desired. Jeff Slocum gets punt away under a heavy rush by the Middleville defense.

There are several nice maple trees in the park that would have to be cut down, and 25 cars wouldn’t be a drop in the bucket compared to the number of cars that now park on Main Street. When I came to this town, there was a water fountain in lie middle of the park, and I don’t know why it was discontinued. Let us keep the park.

However, the beginning of the jewelry business goes back to 1955. (Maple Valley News Photo) �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, November 24, 1976 — Page 2 to the editor.., Letter to the Editor, We, some of the members of the Women’s -Literary Club of Nashville; wish to express our strong opposition to any plan to turn our Central Park into a parking lot. Many of us can remember when it was a treeless eyesore on Main Street, and do not wish to see it reduced to one again. The village put much money and time into converting it into a beautiful park. It has been admired by many townspeople and visitors. Our club and several other organizations in town have worked there, including the scouts. If all the trees were cut down, we doubt if more than 20 cars could be parked there. Did you notice how beautiful it was this fall? Picture it with no grass, no trees, no benches. There can’t be an entrance to such a parking lot onto Main Street (M-66) without disrupting traffic, so there would still have to be an entrance from the side street or State Street - so why not simply park on State Street instead? And there are more spaces behind the stores on the west side of Main Street. It would cost much less to make them available for parking, than to spoil the best looking part of Main Street Signs can be put up showing where parking is available. When we have Harvest Festivals, etc., we have always been grateful for the shade when there are exhibits in the park. Don’t let them cut down the trees that our village fathers planted FOR US!

I subsequently applied for the position. I was interviewed for the position, which included teaching mostly junior high students and some hich school students, on or about Aug. 9, 1976. During this interview, it was pointed out to me that I may have difficulty coping with the students because of my age. This was again offered as the reason for my not being selected on Aug. 24, 1976 when I inquired of the Bd. Of Ed. I have subsequently learned a younger man, 21-22 years of age, was selected. I am currently employed as a teacher but would like to work for this school system as it is much nearer my home. I believe I have been denied an equal employment opportunity because ofmy age.

Respondent admits that claimant applied for a position with Respondent in July and August 1976; it is without knowledge of when Claimant learned of the vacancy. 2. Respondent admits that claimant was interviewed for a position on August 10, 1976. Respondent denies that it or its agent ever said or though that claimant would have difficulty coping with students because of his age and denies that bis age was ever given or used as a factor in the decision to hire him. Respondent states that the Board of Education meeting was on August 23, 1976. Respondent admits that the person hired to the position was 23 years of age. 3. Respondent neither admits nor denies the allegations of claimant’s current employment or desires but leaves claimant to his proofs. 4.

Shortly thereafter, their sons Bruce and Vance, and daughter, now Mrs. Donna Gaskill, helped out. Mr. Higdon died in 1969, but Elaine continued the business for him. She married Donald Leonard in 1970. In 1972, they bought the Nashville Flower Shop from Jack DeGroot (where Tressa’s Cake Decorating now stands) and combined the two businesses. Edna Edwards had worked at the flower shop since 1966 when Loren Dingman still owned the business,, and continued working for Mrs. ,Leonard.

We couldn’t have done it without her.

They are priced reasonably and make excellent gifts. Gold prices have doubled or tripled since Vic started business in 1955.” “We still carry some diamond rings, but not as much as Vic used to carry since he was able to fit the rings himself. He used to carry more varieties of watches than we do today, but we carry more models of Timex and Bulova watches than he did years ago.” “We still carry wedding rings, and try to keep all colors and sizes in stock on the regular bands,” continues Mrs. Leonard. “Flowers are used for all occasions, both the happy and the sad times. We handle entire weddings with candlelabras, kneeling benches, bouquets, and other wedding decorations. We also do a lot of cemeteiy work in the spring and take urn filler arrangements to the grave sites for our local customers. We make up arrangements for hospital patients and funerals too.” “We can take orders for flowers or plants and have them delivered anywhere in the country,” explains Mrs. Leonard. “We have a complete directory of florists around the country associated with Tele-Floral.” “For holidays, people should place out-of-town orders early. �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, November 24, 1976 — Page 9 KNOW YOUR MERCHANT - Continued four or five days prior to the deliveiy date.

Almost everything is personally designed by Edna, and she trys to make each arrangement as different and individual as possible.” “We are here to give 8% hours of service every day. we are happy to make suggestions on flowers and jewelry at any time. Anyone is welcome to come in and browse, we are glad to have them just come in and look around.” Nashville Flowers and Jewelry is open from 9 to 5 six days a week. “At our store, people can depend on a full week of regular hours, good merchandise, and friendly, dependable help.” “We get great satisfaction performing the various services we can offer our customers.” Clara Pennock makes one of the many Tele-Floral calls Nashville Flowers and Jewelry makes to have flowers delivered-anywhere in the country for their customers. (Maple Valley News Photo) New Real Estate office opens in Nashville Some energy saving-tips— An economy driving demonstration conducted by Automobile Club of Michigan shows that state motorists can stem what could be a record­ setting gas consumption year by using conservative driving techniques. To help combat an alarming rise in gas consumption and to promote Energy Month in Michigan, Auto Club conducted a test Nov. 10 with two identical cars that showed conservative versus jackrabbit driving- can result in a 60 percent increase in miles per gallon of gas. “We conducted the test because we are alarmed that Michigan motorists this year could exceed the record 4.8 billion gallons of gas burned in 1973 stated Joseph Ratke, Auto Club touring manager. Ratke said that for the first eight months this year, Auto Club records show gas consumption in Michigan is up 120 million gallons over the identical period of 1975 and more than 210 million gallons above 1974. The cars, 1977 Chevrolet Caprice Classics equipped with one gallon test beakers, were driven over a 10-mile-long freeway and city street course in the Detroit area. One car was driven with jackrabbit techniques while the other, which started the course at the same time, was driven conservatively. The test was supervised for Auto Club by Detroit Testing Laboratory. The poorly driven car finished the course only 25 seconds ahead and obtained 10.04 miles per gallon while the other vehicle obtained 16.3 miles per gallon. Over a 10,000-mile year, Auto Club projects that the good driver would save $222 in fuel costs compared with the. bad driver. “By driving sensibly and safely, motorists not only conserve fuel but help cut Michigan’s increasing traffic death toll, which is six percent above the first 10 months of 1975,” Ratke said. Michiganians who impose settrestrictions to save fuel do not have to change their life styles drastically and will not have to reduce vacation travel. -“Since 85 percent of an motoring trips cover 15 miles or less, reducing vacation travelwhich accounts for 2.5 percent of the gas used each year-would1 not result in a meaningful fuel savings and would be extremely harmful to tourism,” Ratke pointed out. Auto Club states that significant fuel savings only can be made by reducing near-hoine travel. Two persons car pooling to work daily would save 25 percent on the fuel used weekly by each person. Car pooling for other near-home travel, such as shopping, would save even more fU“Since motorists apparently no longer fear a gas shortage and higher pump prices are commonly accepted, few Michiganians seriously practice good energy-saving driving techniques,” Ratke stated. Six steps to save fuel without Elsie Wolever has recently opened her new Real Estate office at 126 S. Main in Nashville. She worked as a salesperson for Don Hummel Realtors and Stanton Realtors for the past five years. Mrs. Wolever was bom and raised in Vermontville, and graduated from Vermontville High School. Her husband is Lloyd Wolver, and they have two children, Dawn awn 19,, and an Nancy ancy 13.. Prior to her association with the Real Estate business, she worked at Michigan Magnetics, where some of her duties were accounting, insurance, and payroll. ' Mrs. Wolever took courses in accounting at Lansing Community College. Concerning her new business she said, “My husband backs me 100 per cent, and has been a great help.” “I want to help people have the homes they are looking for and be happy,” she continues. Mrs. Wolever intends to be available at the office to assist people from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. with an hour off for lunch from 1-2 p.m. Her office phone number is 852-1501. Feather-foot driving means more mils per gallon as proved by an Automobile Club of Michigan test which showed a good driver can get up to 64 per cent more m.p.g. than a “lead foot.” Auto Club Assistant Touring Manager James Drury matched his good driving techniques—maintaining moderate speeds, accelerating smoothly, keeping a steady pace and minimizing braking—against “poor driver” Les Viland of the Detroit Testing Laboratory in a Nov. 10 performance test in the Detroit area. When it was over, they pointed to the results that showed Viland (left) had used up more gasoline and got only 10.04 m.p.g. with his jackrabbit driving techniques while Drury achieved 16.3 m.p.g. over the same 10-mile urban driving only route. Drury finished only 25 seconds behind Viland, which shows that haste not only wastes gas, but doesn’t result in a meaningful time savings. Both drivers used identically equipped and tuned 1977 cars. The test was conducted to help promote November as Energy Month in Michigan and to show how safe, sensible driving can ensure adequate fuel for vacation and recreational use as well as meeting near-home travel needs. cutting down on travel are suggested by Auto Club as part of its “Gas Watchers” program “to make five gallons of gas work like six.” p Drive at moderate speeds. Most cars get about 21 percent more miles per gallon on the highway at 55 miles per hour than they do at 70 m.p.h. • Accelerate smoothly-save engines, tires and gasoline. • Drive at a steady pace-avoid stop-and-go traffic. • Minimize braking-anticipate speed changes. Release the accelerator as soon as a red light is visible ahead. • Don’t weave in and out of traffic lanes. • Do not let the motor idle for more than a minute if temporarily stopped at a curb. Turn off the engine. It takes less gas to restart than to idle the engine more than a minute.

Court Street, Hastings, Michigan 49058 Phone 945-9554 (Area Code 616) �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, November 24,1976 - Page 12 Nash introduces bill compensating job loss from non-returnable ban State Representative Ernest W. Nash (R-Dimondale) said today he has co-sponsored legislation providing compensation for workers who lose their jobs as a result of voter approval of the ban on nonreturnable beverage containers. The measure (H.B. 6649) would compensate displaced workers at the rate of 75 per cent of their income for a miximum of two years. Nash said he hopes the bill will be passed and signed into law by the Governor yet this year. Under the bill, workers who lose their jobs as a result of the passage of Proposal A will be compensated directly from the state general fund. Funds to support the displaced worker program would not come from an additional tax on business. “I feel that those people who supported Proposal A are not so calloused that they are willing to turn their backs on the worker who might be displaced as a result of its passage,” Nash said. “The people have spoken on this issue; and therefore, the problem of a displaced worker becomes a problem of all the people in Michigan,” he added. Representative Nash opposed Proposal A, claiming the 56th District would be hit hard by it because of the affect it would have on the Owens-Illinois Plant in Charlotte. We’re, of course, not certain at this time exactly what affect the passage of Proposal A will have on Michigan industries whose main business is the manufacture of non-returnable beverage containers. Putnam Public Library “I’m hoping the proponents of Proposal A are correct in that itt will not cause a wide-spread loss of jobs. If they are, we will not The family of Dale H.

Until the November 17 meeting, Eaton Intermediate was part of a regional CEPD composed of Clinton, Eaton, Ingham Intermediate Districts and Portland Public Schools. “The separate CEPD, more narrowly based, more home based, will better serve the needs of our district,” Earl Willmarth, director of Vocational Education said, “because it will be made up entirely of individuals within our ISD.” It will formally become active as a planning group January 1. The present EISD Vocational Education General Advisory Committee chaired by Jerry Brumm ofNashville, will take on the new responsibility of coordinating total career education planning. Members include: representatives from school administration, business and industry, bo'ards of education, and students. Good news for the adult handicapped! Stephen A.

In other action the Board: Approved summer camp for the handicapped and summer school for the trainable mentally impaired for 1977. Both are a continuation of programs that have been in operation for the past few years. Granted tenture from Earl Willmarth the enrollment in EISD Vocational classes has dropped by 100 students, mainly because six fewer sections were offered this year. “We have no expansion capability at all,” Willmarth said.

But, say the accountants, gains under the new law are limited largely to low-income parents, while those in medium to upper brackets may actually lose some of the deductions they have enjoyed. As explained by CPAs, here is how the law favors lower income families: o Couples with lower incomes usually do not itemize deductions because taking the standard deduction saves them tax dollars. Up to now, that has denied them a tax break for child care costs. But now, while using the standard deduction, they can still claim child care benefits. o Even if one spouse works only part-time, or is a full-time student, they can now claim child care benefits. o Child care payments can be paid to a relative, if the relative is not a dependent and if Social Security taxes can be paid on what the individual earns, which is not possible under the ordinary circumstances. The CPA organization .explains that the Tax Reform Act of 1976 replaced the child care deduction with a tax credit. Now, instead of reducing the amount of taxable income, you subtract a credit from the amount of taxes otherwise due. The credit can range up to $400 per year for one child or $800 for two or more. Because the new credit is only 20 percent of the amount spent on child care, taxpayers earning between $10,000 and $35,000 may find the new law brings them substantially less savings than Action-Ads SEPTIC TANK CLEANING: Approved by Michigan Depart­ ment of Health.

Working parents who earn more than $35,000 will benefit, however. Above this level, the old law phased out benefits; the new law does not. All the changes apply to 1976 incomes, which means they affect income tax returns due April 15, 1977. The new law eliminates the. distinction between expenses for child care at home and outside the home; the credit allowed is the same in either case. The Michigan Association of CPAa advise further that the amount of expense qualifying for the credit is limited to the earnings of the spouse with the lower income. And if one of the parents is a full-time student, with no income, the earnings are assumed to be $166 a month if there’s one child, $333 if there are two or more who have to be cared for. The CPA organization estimates that twice as many parents are now eligible for benefits under the new law to the Internal Revenue Service. Want-Ads today!

Santa comes to Nashville STOP Here Comes Santa Claus! Some little people like Becky Corkwell got a bit teary-eyed at the sight of Santa. The snow doesn’t keep Leslie Keesler from saying “hi” to Santa Just as he promised, Santa Claus visited Nashville last Saturday to get Christmas orders from local youngsters. Santa also handed out candy canes that he brought right from the North Pole. Some kids cried, while others wete visibly glad to see their old friend. Santa said he got a wide range of Christmas orders that included bikes, dolls, train sets, games and much more. Santa didn’t stay long be­ cause he had to get back to the North Pole and get his elves working on all the new gifts, so they’d be ready by Christmas...which is only 18 days away! Santa is still waiting for his Christmas letters and said his mailbox is now up in Central Park in Nashville. He said it would be okay to print some of his favorite letters in the Maple Valley News. (Maple Valley News Photos) Lisa and Scott Johnson catch Santa before he leaves Some of the younger set saw Santa for the first time. Shop now for Toys in our Big Bargain Basement Toyland.

League rival Central Montcalm hosted Maple Valley Friday and handed their guests a 72-69 loss. The Lions jumped off to an early lead, but trailed 20-15 by the end of the quarterns a result of the fine shooting of Hornet Clary Houghton, who scored 8 of his 16 points in that quarter. His teammate Randy Reese added 10 of his total 14 points in the second quarter to give the Hornets a 41­ 31 halftime advantage. The Lions adjusted their defense the second half to shut off the hot shooting hosts but were unable to top Central. Duane Schantz led all scorers with 23 points. Brian Mitchell added 16 and teammates Andy Joostberns and Mark Benton netted 14 and 12 points respectively. Saturday the Lions traveled to Caledonia to play a game postponed from Tuesday. The Scotties of Caledonia had to score 94 points to beat the Lions. The final tally was 94-87 in favor of the host Scotties. The Lions played the best game of the young season but were unable to overcome the hot shooting of Scottie Tim Kelly who broke a Caledonia scoring record with 53 points. The Lions led at the end of the first half 46-44. Free throws haunted the Lions as the Scotties hit on 22 of 37 while the Lions connected on 9 of 22. The Lions led in field goals 39-36. ‘ Five Lions hit in double figures. Seniors Mark Benton and Duane Schantz and sophomore Andy Joostberns each scored 18 points. Senior Brian Mitchell and junior Pete Benton netted 16 and 12 respectively. The Lions played a wellbalanced game using their big men to score inside and adding some fine outside shooting from the guards. Andy Joostberns grabbed 16 rebounds for his Lion teammates. Brian Mitchell used his soft touch around the basket to add key buckets. Duane Schantz used his agility to set up his teammates and block shots. The Benton brothers consistantly broke the Scottie press and added an outside shooting threat. Mark had 7 assists. The entire team was very supportive and added the necessary moral support. Coach Reese adds, “The team is playing very well and has a good attitude despite the record. They haven’t lost their enthusiasm and continue to improve. Their balance and determination will make them winners.” Hunting for Insurance? j Shoot straight to Trumble Agency RED TAG Norma Shance ^Auto-Owners Insurance Gene Carr has hundreds of gifts in stock.

Wagon or sleigh rides, snacks, Yule fires, free treats for children and visits by Santa Claus on weekends are offered by many. “One farm even sells Early Amerfcan-style Chrismas toys, while another lists entertainment on weekends,” Ratke added. Michigan’s farms sell several types of trees priced from $1 for Scotch pines to $20 for blue spruce, and up to $35 for flocked (painted) trees. Eleven sell by the foot, varying from 75 cents to $2 for trees four feet and over. Several farms offer trees from eight to 30 feet tall for churches, businesses and other groups. Trees are machine-cleaned of dead needles and snow at seven farms and tree wrapping binding brahches tightly for easy cartop transport - is offered at 31 operations. Most farms have pre­ cut trees as well. “In addition, some offer ‘living’ Christmas trees. Evergreens can be dug up, potted for Christmas display inside and planted outside later,” Ratke said*,' If planning to cut your o4m tree this Christmas, Auto Club offers these recommendations: o Bring a hand saw if going on a weekend to avoid any delays. Although 73 farms lend saws, they may all be in use upon arrival. Axes are not allowed on most farms. o Select a tree to fit needs - and your living room - and saw close to the ground. Most pines and Douglas firs hold needles, while balsams and spruces lose them if not sufficiently watered. o Many farms provide twine to tie trees to cars, but bring some rope. Tie the tree’s base at the front of the car to prevent broken branches when putting it on the roof. o When storing, place trees in a bucket ofwater in a cool area, but don’t let water freeze. o Trees will absorb more water if an inch or two of the base is removed before placing it in the stand, cutting at an angle also helps absorption. < o Fill the stand with water daily. o Avoid placing trees near heating ducts or open flames. “Before decorating any tree, always check lights for frayed wires and make sure electrical outlets won’t be overloaded, Ratke added.

The exercises were varied and provided much merriment as they progressed from verses by the “little beginners” through the recitations by the big eighth grade pupils. Mrs. Laurel Mathews really amazed the group with a reading that she had memorized seventy years ago. Everyone entered into the spirit of the occasion and was most appreciative of the efforts of Dean Hanson in getting the party organized and the Academy in readiness for the festivities. For most of those attending, it was their first time in the building since it had undergone the extensive repair work and all joined in expressing their gratefulness of the Trustees of the Congregational Church for their determination to preserve this historic landmark and to the many friends who have made contributions to see the project become a reality.

Main St,Vermontville Ph.726-0569 �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, December 15,1976 — Page 9 to the editor... Dear Editor: Some time ago the Governor appointed a special committee to study property taxes in Michigan. That body, headed by Lt. Governor, James Daman, has just reported its findings. In essence, these are that Michigan’s property tax structure is one of the fairest I take issue with the report and for the following reasons. 1. Any system of taxation that raises the tax burden as rapidly and consistently as ours by the simple mechanics of raising valuations year after year is uneconomic and unfair. 2. The State mandated criterios of requiring valuations to be judged by a shallow, ambiguous approach known as ‘sales analysis’ is not the proper one to arrive at true cash value. This system works to the detriment of that land owner who owns a farm for farming purposes, that home owner who owns a home for the sake of owning a needed home or that businessman who owns and operates a business for business sake. IT WORKS ONLY IN FAVOR OF THOSE WHO SPECULATE IN PROPERTY VALUES AND SALES. 3. The requirement to set property values at true cash and then to assess the same at fifty percent should be based on long term economic worth and not the value determined by ever growing inflation. 4. The present system has no real correlation between the value that property is taxed for and the ability of that same property to reflect real worth. In other words, a farm, for instance, ought to carry a value that would reflect itself in the ability of that farm to produce and make a livelihood possible for its owner. This on top of the ability to capitalize the cost of that farm over a reasonable number of years. Presently, this is not the case. 5. Our'present property tax structure is held together by a co plicated system of exemptions. If it were as economic and as fair as it ought to be, these exemptions would not be needed, at least to the extent that they are now used. The State of Michigan needs to take a longer, more realistic view of property taxes than that of the report just released. Time is running out. Indeed, it is past time for a more realistic and practical approach. Those who agree with me should contact their Legislators. Sincerely, Edgar Fleetham Commissioner District I + To the Editor, M.S.U.

The health department nurses also worked many hours of overtime to assist in the clinic organization and operation. Mrs. Janet Dunn worked many hours on the distribution'of vaccine, in service for clerical volunteers before and during the clinics, and inventory of supplies before, during, and after the clinics. A special thanks is extended to all these workers and to the countless number of volunteer nurses, physicians, clerks, clubs, church organizations, business establishments, voluntary and governmental organizations, school superintendents, maintenance men, emergency personnel, radio and newspaper personnel for their help and cooperation. This type of program was new to most of these people, yet they did a magnificent job and were well organized, which meant little waiting for those going through the clinic. J.

Box A Nashville, Michigan (Phone, Hastings — 945-9554) Volume 103 - Number 32,Wednesday December 22,1976 Maple Valley board discusses operational millage At regular meeting of the Maple Valley Board of Education held Monday evening, December 13, a general discussion was held relative to holding a special election at which time the registered voters would be voting upon addition millage for operational purposes. The board of education decided to contact the Eaton County election committee, and ask this committee to schedule a special election for the Maple Valley Schools sometime in February. Additional operational funds will be necessary if the school district is able to continue a comparable educational program during future school years. This current school year the school district is operating under a projected deficit of $71,224 which is actually being taken out of the general fund balance. Under the present state aid act which is based upon a state-local sharing of funds, the school district could more fully participate in the state aid act if the operational millage were increased. The amount of millage to be voted upon will be set at a board meeting after the school district receives word from the county election committee relative to when a special election will be held. The board members approved the purchase of safety shield guards for the band saw and also the wood lathes at a total cost of $518.50. Approval was also given the purchase of office furniture for the high school principal’s office at an estimated cost of $360.00.

He asks only that we come to Him in humility and child-like faith. After nearly two thousand years His power and forgiveness can still strengthen, bless, and even restore lives all but lost and destroyed. “Peace,” He said, “My peace I leave with you, My peace 1 give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Is not this the message that a weary and frightened world is looking for? In 1976, is it not worthy of our concern and acceptance?

All pesticides should be stored in a cool, dry area, away from food, feed, seed or animals. The storage area should be fire­ resistant, well lit and ventilated, and locked. Store all pesticides in , the original containers. Check containers for leaks or breaks; if a container is damaged, transfer the pesticide to a container that held exactly the same product. Instructions for storage and disposal will be found on the label of the product. However, if more information on proper disposal is wanted, a person can contact his local county agent or the pesticides branch of the EPA Region V office (312 ) 353-2192. Mitchell Wrich, EPA Midwest pesticide branch chief, said farmers should remember that they might have pesticide residues left in or on application equipment. The pesticide residues should be disposed ofjust as carefully as packaged material, said Wrich, explaining that a farmer accidently killed more than a 100 head of cattle this summer by neglecting to properly dispose of some organophosphate insecticide that was vacuumed from the granular applicator mounted on his corn planter. Pesticide branch personnel are available to assist farmers with any questions or problems concerning pesticides. Help can be obained by writing U.S. EPA, Pesticide Branch, 230 South Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill. 60604 (312) 353-2192.

During this 1975-76 session, over 2600 bills were introduced in the House and over 1700 in the Senate; nearly 700 of those were passed and signed into law. The Governor found it necessary to veto 17 bills, a record number for him. HAPPY HOLIDAYS! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and use extra care when making holiday trips on winter roads. SOUR LEMON - Although the House had approved HB 4576 allowing purchasers to stop payment on automobile “lemons”, the Senate last week defeated the bill for the second time thise year. It will be reintroduced in the 79th Legislature, next year. LIQUOR ACTIONS - The House last week approved SB 71, which moves up the time for Sunday liquor sales from 2 PM to noon; it also allows sales on a Sunday immediately following Christmas, as this year. Earlier, the House passed SB 1367, increasing liquor license fees for the first time since 1962; of the $9 million thus raised, over half goes to local governments.

For more information, you may write Representative Kirby Holmes, State Capitol, Lansing 48909. PBB BILL - Although the House recently approved HB 5846 to provide $3.5 million in loan assistance to farmers with livestock affected by PBB poisoning, parliamentary maneuvering prevented its consideration by the Senate before the end of the session. It is therefore “dead”. SPECIAL SERVICE - The house last week approved HB 6660, which would require that new city buses seating over 30 people whould have to have ramps and hoists to get wheelchairs into the bus, as well as space to secure the wheelchairs inside the bus. ADC DECLINE The Department of Social Services has reported that the November ADC caseload declined for the eighth straight month. This was the first time since December, 1966, that the caseload figure was below the same month of the year before. WORKERS’ COMP - The Michigan Supreme Court has ruled ahat a Michigan law reducing workers’ compensation payments to those over 65 in constitutional, since this distinction has a rational basis in the fact that people over 65 have a reduced wage level due to retirement.

Maple Valley News �Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Wednesday, December 29,1976 — Page 2 How to avoid'd heart attack while shoveling snow— A seasonal snowfall may be a delight to youngsters who revel in bounding through white drifts or sleighing down powdered slopes. That’s fine for the younger set, but if you’re middle-aged and don’t get much exercise - watch it! What’s fun for the kids could be fatal for you. Every winter, a heavy snowfall is followed by heart attack deaths due to over-exertion, warns the Michigan Heart Association. If you’re past 40 years of age, desk-bound at the office and spend most weekends watching television, think twice before grabbing a shovel to clear your sidewalk or driveway of snow. The Michigan Heart Association reports the results of one three-minute test conducted in Minnesota to determine the effects of snow shoveling on the heart. Eleven volunteers, from 45 to 75 years old, were cleared for the test after receiving heart examinations. Five of the eleven had recovered from mild heart attacks. With the weather 14 degrees below zero, the subjects tackled a thick bank of snow with electrodes taped to their chests and connected to radio transmitters in their belts. The strain on their hearts was recorded by an electrocardiograph machine which was monitored by physicians. Two of the volunteers had to be stopped after one minute because the ECG showed their hearts were not getting enough oxygen. Within the three-minute limit, the others showed varying degrees of stress. There is little doubt that this type of exertion over the lengthy period it takes to shovel a drive or sidewalk could have severe effects. The body reacts to cold by constricting- its small arteries, through which blood passes away from the heart to various parts of NOTICE In the upcoming Primary Election, to be held February 21, 1977, there will be a proposal on the ballot which will read, "Shall the Village Council Proceed with the sewer extensions?

Expanded facilities at half of Michigan's ski areas, introduction of hourly rates and more emphasis on families and groups are expected to draw the largest crowds in history to the ski sloaps of Michigan, says the Automobile Club of Michigan. Michigan's 1.2 million alpiners will be able to choose from 58 ski areas, one more than last year. Although one ski area operating last season - TimberLee, near Traverse City — will not open this winter, two others previously closed will reopen with new names and owners. Operators statewide are hoping that investments ranging from $50,000 to $350,000 in new hills, equipment and buildings will lead to a 15 to 20 per cent business expansion, the same as last season. A few lodge operators are projecting increases over 65 per cent Auto Club stated. An improved economy, steadily increasing interest in the outdoors and more people looking for quick mid-winter, minivacations were cited most often by lodge managers as reasons for siding's increasing popularity. “This year, more resorts than ever are making it easy for anyone to learn to ski,” stated Joseph Ratke, Auto Club touring manager. For example, 81 per cent of all ski areas listed on Auto Club’s 1977 guide offer rental equipment, with ski instructions available at 86 per cent Skiers with children will find one-third of all facilities offering babysitting, with many sponsoring nursery ski schools for youngsters able to take to the slopes. In addition, 42 areas offer cross-country skiing, up 27 per cent from last season. One Upper Peninsula resort Brule Mt near Iron River, offers a Michigan first-lighted trails for night cross­ country skiing. Another innovative feature this year is skiing by the hour at Crystal Mt near Thompsonville -Hanson Hills near Grayling (formerly Bear Mt.). The new in northwest Lower Michigan. “You can ski any portion of the owners of Winterskol, with help day you want and pay only for from a new hill and larger lodge, hope to up business 50 per cent that portion.

Snowsnake at Harrison night fees went from $4 to $3.50, while Irish Hills near Onstead dropped night fees from $6 to $5. Traverse City Holiday near Traverse City lowered daily fees from $6 to $5.50.

Michigan, Thursday, January 2, 1969 �Postal rates to increase "AS I SEE IT." written by Paul P. Chien a weekly syndicated column distributed by the Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency LOYALTY AND DEDICATION OVERTAKES FINANCIAL INCENTIVE Many of the younger generation have a totally wrong concept of our capitalistic system. They degrade loyalty and dedication. Tncy consider them too foolish and emotionally involved. Their inter­ pretation of a new economic concept of capitalism centers upon materialistic realism: I will work for anyone who pays more. I will love anyone who pays more. Loyalty rests upon my economic interest. They will prostitute their own souls for personal materialistic gains. They consider themselves to be real capitalists. In many cases they will com­ promise with the Devil. At the and they will sell their self-respect, individual freedom, and dignity for a certain amount of materialistic wealth. These people are not necessarily raised from poverty. Prior to the Chinese communist takeover of the mainland, I saw many Chinese bought by the com­ munists' promises of huge financial compensation. They were promised generous additional material­ istic wealth. Less than three years after the com­ munists took over, most of these people lost their lives. In our capitalistic system we must treasure our freedom and liberty for they are more impor­ tant than fiancial gains. An individual's job secur­ ity, occupational promotions, and salary increase should be less important than the individual's self­ respect, professional pride, and freedom of think­ ing. A company's profit margin and divident in­ creases should be far less important than the super­ iority of its products, welfare of its employees, and most of all, the security and survival of our nation­ al liberty.' Annual church meeting The Annual meeting of Church Women United in the Hastings area will be held at the First Pres­ byterian Church of Hastings, in the basement din­ ing room, at 1:00 pm, Friday, January 10. A business meeting will precede the program. The "New Dimensions" of Church Women United will be presented and a workshop for the leaden of World Day of Prayer in the communities of Barry County will be held. Packets are ready for the leaden to aid them in .making plans, and in the ordering of materials. World Day of Prayer will be Friday, March 7, 1969. At 2:00 the Rev. Harold Johnson, a Wesleyan missionary on furlough from his assignment in Jap­ an, living in Hastings this year, will be the speak­ er. The Rev. Mr. Johnson has been working in Japan for 16 yean for the most of the time in Tokoyo but also on the Island of Kuyshu. He hopes to return to Kuyshu. He will have a very interesting program to give. Mrs. Fred Bower, magazine chairman, will be ready to accept renewals for subscriptions to the Church Woman and the Michigan Church Woman. Following the meeting, refreshments will be served. A nursery will be provided for the entire meeting. Dedication and loyally will assist human beings in living harmoniously. Materialistic tern plat ion and monetary-eiilraption will only lead us to fur­ ther mental frustration and an increase in tlic na­ tional suicide rate. During LBJ's Great Society, the government wasted billions of dollars trying to solve various international crisis, reduce the metropolitan crime rate and fight the war on poverty. Now Nixon's ad­ ministration has pledged to solve these problems by private enterprise methods and tax credit incentive. In our capitalistic system many individuals re­ gard the dollar as Almighty in selling and buying. We neglect the fact that in a free society we must have dedication and loyalty and most of all, com­ passion and patriotism. Loyalty and compassion to human beings have created many great cultures and religions. In contrast, monetary rewards have created crimes such as international spy rings for double agents and federal narcotic agents with their peddling activities. Using the monetary incentive without the basic principle of loyalty and dedica­ tion will never be able to create a great society. Program trains youth for off-farm work Many youths who had hoped to earn money work­ ing away from their parents' farm this past summer were disappointed when the r^ew US Department of Labor regulations were passed in January. New laws prohibit youths under 16 years of age from working away from their own farms in certain hazardous jobs involving tractors and machinery. But the Michigan State University Cooperative Ex­ tension Service announced this week that area youths who want to try to qualify for exemption from some of the labor restrictions can do so by enrolling ir. the 4-H tractor program this winter. Beginning in January, 4-H tractor clubs all over the stete will begin offering a course on tractor: saf ety and operation, plus special units on safety when operating other implements. Two types of exemptions will be offered to youths over 14 yean of age. To qualify for tractor exemp­ tion only, the youth must attend at least 20 hours of official instruction classes offered by the 4-H trac­ tor program and successfully pass both written and tractor driving skills tests. To qualify for machinery exemption, the youth must fulfill all the above re­ quirements, plus 20 more hours of special machin­ ery instruction and pass written and skills tests o n these machines. Any boy or girl under 16 who intends to work off his own farm next year should contact the local 4­ H Youth agent or tne county Cooperative Extension Service office for further information on the p to gram. Library hours Putnam Library is open for your convenience three evenings each week. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday the hours open are from 3:00 to 9:00 p. m. On Saturday, the Library opens at 10:00 a. m. and closes at 5-.00 p. m. Story Hour is each Saturday from 1:00 to 2:00 pm. Elected to office Old Fashioned Best Wishes To You! May you enjoy a Happy New Year in the grand old American Tradition Postal rates lor newspapers and magazines and oilier material mailed at llic second-class rate will be increased January 1, Postmaster's DeCamp & Frith reminded second-class mailers today. The increase results from tile postage rate law enacted in December 1967, which raised most second-class rates in three annual steps, the Post­ masters pointed out. The January 1, 1969, hike is the second phase of the increase. The first phase took effect January 7. 1968, and the third step will go into effect January 1, 1970. The second-class rate Increase affect* general interest, nonprofit and classroom publications. Rates also will go up January 1 for controlled circulation publications. These are primarily trade, technical and industrial journal* which gen­ erally do not charge a subscription fee and are not eligible for second-class rates. The 1967 postal rate Law called for a three-step raise for controlled circulation publication*, to be effective the tame date* as the second-class increases. Except for home-county mailings, postal rates for newspapers and magazines mailed second-class are based on the weight of the publication, the amount of advertising it contains, and the distance it is mailed. Effective January 1, rates for editorial or non­ advertising matter in commercial publications will be increased from 3 to 3. 2 cent* per pound. Rates for advertising content depend on the distance the publication is mailed. These zone rates now' range from 4. 6 to 15 cents per pound of advertising con­ tent. The new advertising zone rate range will be 4. 9 to 16 cents. There are special lower second-class rates for', classroom publications and publications of nonpro­ fit organizations. These rates also will be increased January 1. Postmaster's DeCamp & Frith said that secondclass or controlled circulation mailers who need more detailed information on the new rates should contact the Post Office where their publications are mailed. Senior citizens should file for tax reduction It's time for eligible senior citizens to apply for their property tax reduction under Michigan's Home stead Tax Exemption Law, which saves more peo­ ple more money each year. Last year this law meant an average saving of $104 to 184,000 senior citizens. The state spent $19,300,000 reimbursing local units of government for the tax loss. AU eUgible Michigan homeowners who are 65 years of age and over will need to file an affidavit at their local assessor's office for a tax reduction for their 1969 taxes. Those who applied last year must file again. AppUcants may fUe between January 2 and some­ time in March, a date set by each local assessor's office. There are no Uen provisions attached to the Homestead Tax Exemption Act, and there wHl be no attempt by state or local governments to collect from the heirs or otherwise attach the property. Michigan residents of more than five years, aged 65 or over, are eligible for the exemption if their homestead and real property tax value does not ex­ ceed $20,000 and their gross income does not top $5,000. Each applicant must supply a deed, land contract, or mortgage; a birth certificate ot other legal proof of age; a recent tax bill or bUls for all real proper­ ty owned; and his social security number. He should be prepared to give the true cash value of property owned out of the state of Michigan, and a statement of income. FARGO GASOLINE ...

There is a good chance that the victim’s money may be returned in the process of investiga­ tion. The division is staffed by two attorneys, an a c countant, a field investigator and clerical personneL Its sole responsibility is to fight the "fast-buck" op­ erator. Working closely with local prosecutors, the office acts upon complaints of citizens who feel they were "taken" by a fraudulent scheme or a ques­ tionable business practice. Unsuspecting consumers may be defrauded in any number of ways, and new rackets spring up as old ones are eliminated. Some involve only a few dol­ lars while others run into thousands. Most, but not all. use a "something for nothing" appeal to. entice the consumer. Older people, many on fixed in­ comes, are especially vulnerable to the con games. Attorney General Frank Kelley points out that most retailers are honest and ethicaL They make every effort to keep customers satisfied and adjust complaints. Respectable businessmen are also con­ cerned with shady operators, and realize that the unsatisfactory performance of one company may in­ jure an entire industry. One such racket involves a "free aluminum sid­ ing" offer. The homeowner is approached by a welldressed man, usually driving an expensive car, and told that his house has been selected for "advertisThe homeowner need only sign four papers: a credit check to make sure the individual is "respec­ table" enough to merit the offer; an authorization to let the company show the outside of the home to future prospects; an agreement to bind any new own­ ers of the home, if sold within 60 mpnths, to the show-authorization, and a final paper which says the homeowner is satisfied with the deal and "ap­ preciates* the offer. The papers are cleverly folded and stapled. The only paper which is as represented is the top sheet applying for a credit check. The other three: a mortgage, a promissory note and a "completion form’ which specified that the work is satisfactory. Once the papers are signed, the "official" im­ mediately sells the mortgage to a finance company. Workmen arrive to install the siding the next morn­ ing, and within a few days the homeowner finds he bin debt at a cost much higher than a reputable firm might have charged. cl Take a day to think about the offer before accept­ ing it, the Attorney General suggests. Most confi­ dence men pressure their victims into signing some­ thing "right now, " before they have the chance to think ana check out the offer. There are many sources which consumers may use to verify the reputation of a company; chambers of commerce, better business bureaus, city hall, local prosecutors, even friends and neighbors. The Con­ sumers Protection Division will check their files for consumer complaints. Consumers who feel they were victimized are urged to call the Attorney General so the complaint can be investigated. Often, a single letter from the division will bring a satisfactory conclusion. Some­ times court action is necessary. BI aole Grove MRS. VERN HAWBLITZ Bernard Reid, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Reid, has been home for a furlough before being sent to Vietnam.

CUSTOMER COOPERATION A safe car will probably never be built, accord­ ing to Chrysler Corporation's chief engineer, Roy C, Haeusler, if what is meant by "safe” u a car in which no one will be injured to any degree in any collision, rollover or accident. However, cars are being designed which are "more forgiving" of driver error, he said. "If bet­ ter car design still does not enable avoidance of the inattentive or drunk driver who.... crosses the cen­ ter line into opposing traffic, then better design may reduce the seriousness of the injury in the en­ suing accident." Safety is a relative condition, he noted, and many of the most elaborate safety devices are of little value unless the occupants of the car use them. Some safety features, such as interior padding.safety glass, and energy-absorbing steering columns do not require driver or passenger cooperation. Others do. Haeusler suggests a six-point check before putting the automobile in gear; adjust the driver's seat, lock doors, adjust inside and outside minors, check instruments and controls, fasten seat belts, and check for pedestrians.

The award is given "In recognition of outstanding contribution to the development of a stronger, healthier America in support of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports." A graduate of Vermontville high school where he was an outstanding baseball player, Merle started working with youngsters in Vermontville in 1958 first in organizing baseball teams and later in bas­ ketbalL Later he expanded to include Nashville boys. Dur­ ing the baseball season the boys play about 25 games per season and they have taken some six or seven trophies. Three of the boys he has worked with went on to play on college teams, and Merle has taken some to try out for big league participa­ tion. At first it was all "up hill" business, and for some time Merle even purchased the balls and bats for the youngsters, but as enthusiasm increased various individuals and businessmen started backing the teams. Why has Merle taken time to do all this? First because he likes youngsters, and he felt they needed some kind of an organized physical fit­ ness program. He felt too that by working- with younger noys, they would be better able to par­ ticipate in high school sports when they reached that age. Metre lives on a farm, and in order to get his work out of the way so he could help promote baseball he often got up at 4 am during the busy summer season. And, in turn, often the boys turned out to help him. Now he is very active with bas­ ketball each Saturday morning from 8:30 to noon. "For the most part, the parents have been very cooperative in getting the boys out to practice, and I'm grateful Of course there have been a few boys held back simply because the parents won't bother to bring them in. " Down through the ten years Merle has often been asked for advice from boys who have faced family problems and felt they couldn't talk their Problems over with their parents. A number of oys have come from broken homes and "these are the children who have asked for the counsel­ ing, for the most part, " Merle said. "I'm sure some parents would be greatly surprised if they knew some of the intimate problems the boys have been concerned about, but I've sat down and quiet­ ly talked out the problems with the boys and in several instances the boys, as they grew older, have returned to thank me for any help I was able to give." Merle's interest has not stopped here. He has taken the youngsters on hay ndes, weiner roasts, bowling, had them in for watermelon, taken them on camping trips and even flew six boys into Can­ ada on a fishing trip. Senior c itizens should file for tax reduction It's time for eligible senior citizens to apply for their property tax reduction under Michigan's Home­ stead Tax Exemption Law, which saves more peo­ ple more money each year. Last year this law meant an average saving of $104 to 184,000 senior citizens. The state spent $19,300,000 reimbursing local units of government for the tax loss. All eligible Michigan homeowners who are 65 years of age and over will need to file an affidavit at their local assessor's offiee for a tax reduction for their 1969 taxes. Those who applied last year must file again. Applicants may file between January 2 and some­ time in March, a date set by each local assessor's office. There are no lien provisions attached to the Homestead Tax Exemption,Act, and there will be no attempt by state or local governments to collect from the heirs or otherwise attach the property. Michigan residents of more than five years, aged 65 or over, are eligible for the exemption if their homestead and real property tax value does not ex­ ceed $20,000 and their gross income does not ton $5,000; Each applicant must supply a deed, land contract, or mortgage: a birth certificate or other legal proof of age; a recent tax bill or bills for all real proper­ ty owned; and his social security number. He should be prepared to give the true cash value of property owned out of the state of Michigan, and a statement of Income. South End Food & Beverage changes hands MERLE MARTIN Has it been expensive for Merle? "Well, I don’t smoke and I don't drink, " he said, "and the money I spend on the boys is no more than some spend in a tavern. " However, Merle gives considerable credit to his wife, Marlene, who never misses a basketball game or a baseball game if she can possibly make it, and is always ready and willing to fix sand­ wiches or other snacks for "Merits noys." The Martins have two small boys of their own, who are mightly lucky to have parents like Merle and Marlene. It sounds as though the Jaycees have made a wise choice in selecting Merle Martin as their candidate for the Physical Fitness entry. In spite of all the hours Merle finds to work with these noys, he manages to play basketball him­ self on an independent team during the winter and plays softball during the summer months. Annual church meeting The Annual meeting of Church Women United in the Hastings area will be held at the First Pres­ byterian Church of Hastings, in the basement din­ ing room, at 1:00 pm, Friday, January 10.

The idea of 1969 arriving does not impress me great­ ly. Perhaps when 1970 comes along. I'll feel dif­ ferently. Maybe 1969 will give us enough good things to make us sad to see it go -- of course, it could go the other way and be so bad that we will be glad to see the end of it. 1968 though was just a run-of-the-mill year. Amy and I took two little girls out to dinner on New Year's Eve and then went to see Doctor Doo­ little with them. We were safely home by mid­ night. A real nice way to spend an evening! I did much better on resolutions this year. It was somewhere about noon of January 3rd when I broke my last resolution. The first resolution went the way of all resolutions when the first football game of New Year's Day came on. There is some doubt in my mind whether I am just becoming stronger in my old age and can hold on to the resolutions longer -- January 3rd is a bit of a record for me — the only resolution I stuck to longer was the year I resolved to get more rest on Sunday afternoons and not to endanger my health by allowing my tender hands to soak in dishwater. I have to admit that others in the family did their part in helping break these resolves. As I started to say, there is doubt as to whether I can hold a resolution longer now or perhaps I am just smarter and make resolutions that last a little longer. In any event --we ate off to a new year. We went to the VFW Penny Supper Saturday night and as we were leaving we stuck our heads inside the kitchen to say hello to the hard-working ladies there. Out in the kitchen. Bob Banks and George Kel­ logg were both in dishwater up to their elbows and Vicki Banks was standing behind them giving them instructions on how to best do the dishes and keep­ ing them from taking off at the first opportunity. Incidentally, we enjoyed some good eating at that supper too. I have not had the opportunity to see all of the beards in town but being a Brother of the Brush my­ self, I can appreciate those that I have seen. Bill Kjergaard has one that just won't stop! His is about the best growth I have seen on a chin in many a long year. 1 understand that Maynard Perry has a beauty and that Bill Helsel is doing great, and that Tom Jones is right in there with his growth. Martin Graham and I spent a pleasant few min­ utes the other night comparing beards. He suggest­ ed that we get guitars and perhaps form a rock com­ bo. He is of the opinion that we wouio go over great with such a thing. Maybe we could call ourselves "Graham & Cracker" 1 Richard Shupp bv john boughton Someone, who thought he was playing a real good joke, tied a dead raccoon to a flagpole rope m front of the Post Office and ran the thing to the top of the pole. When Wilma DeCamp, the post­ master, went out to put the flag up in the morning, this is what she was greeted by. Other post office personnel tried to convince her that she should shinny up the flag pole to remove the dead raccoon while Amy got a picture of the proceedings for the paper. The idea didn’t go over real big with Wilma, though Amy was willing to do her pan. When I was a little kid, it was still common for the older men to have beards. I can remember my grandfather, a most distinguished looking man, had a VanDyke and when he walked downtown in Ches­ aning to go to the Post Office, he looked like a col­ lege professor. He had a friend, also a retired farmer, who visit­ ed with him often and this friend really bad a beard. It was full, white and it bad been attached to his face long enough to have attained considerable in growth. I don't think the old man had ever cut it because it came down half-way to his belt, and be looked for all the world like Santa Claus, though somewhat thinner. One day there was somewhat of a disturbance in front of old Mr. Stumer's house. The neighborhood dogs were making a fuss about something under the Stumer's front steps. So, Mt. Sturner got down on his hands and knees and stuck his head under the steps to see just what it was that had the dogs in a dither-------- He found out. The dogs had chased a skunk to the protection of the sups and just as Mr. Stumer poked his head under the sups, the skunk was in tne process of carefully backing out. Both the skunk and Mr. Stumer were surprised to meet in this way (head to tail, as it were) and they both reacted. The skunk, however, overreacted, for which I am sure he later was sorry as he sat in his skunk den thinking over the things that had gone on that day! The skunk's over-reaction is somewhat normal for skunks, who are known to be rather short on patience when they are being harried by dogs and old men with beards. Mr. Stumer's reaction was normal, but nowhere near as speedy as the skunk's. The skunk got Mr. Sturner right in the beard and immediately after that, even the neighborhood dogs would have nothing to do with their bearded, new­ found hunting companion. Mrs. Stumer wouldn't let him back into the house until he had removed ' not only his clothes, but his beard. I have no idea how long it took him to grow a replacement, but I'll bet it never got anywhere near the length of the original. AS I SEE IT. written by Paul P. Chien a weekly syndicated column distributed by the Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency The Yes Men Buried Chairman Mao's Dream Today's stereotype'dictator usually possessed a humble background, rose from poverty and reached prominence after a five-to-twenty — perhaps even fifty-year struggle. Many transitions and setbacks created the strong-willed and self-centered dic­ tator. In the process he suppressed individuals who disagreed with him. These dissentets' past contri­ butions to his success were ignored. Chairman Mao Tse-Tung of the Chinese com­ munist party has almost reached the age of eighty. During 1966 be discovered that many of his for­ mer comrades were not particularly enthused about his violent attacks on China's neighboring countries. He, therefore, used the Red Guard movement in an attempt to crush the opposition.

In the process it even demoted and stripped aH the powers of former Chinese communist government, President Liu Shao-Gie. Chairman Mao now has only "ves" men surrounding him including his wife, Madame Mao, and Cheng Pao Tai. These "yes" men praise him, calling him the greatest leader ever born in China. The influence of their praise is vast. Anyone who wishes to perform surgery, cook a dinner, construct a nuclear reactor cannot be successful until he has read Chairman Mao's quo­ tations book. They had made him a god. They forced the Chinese to live under fear and super­ stition. Chairman Mao has become a mystery man instead of a political leader. These "yes" men, however, cannot suppress the anger and resentment of the majority of the Chin­ ese population. The Chinese central government has lost her control on the people. Many of the provincial governments have declared indepen­ dence and refuse to transmit any tax money to the central government. Chairman Mao's argument in revolution, "the new is better than the old; there­ fore, the young mutt destroy the old" has back­ fired on him. His age and physical condition rep­ resent the old. During this cultural revolution the central Chinese communist governments murdered and tortured more than 14 million people, destroy­ ed the traditional educational system, lost support­ ers around the world and politically reversed back­ ward to the warlord period. Chairman Mao has been buried alive not by his political enemies but by his political "yes" men. Chairman Mao’s lesson can also be applied to our own industrial and political structure. Ln many cases we are not destroyed by our dissenters but by the group of "yes" men surrounding us who seek special favors from their leaden. They agree with us even when we are wrong. They corrupt us with their smiles; and by blindly agreeing with us, they will bury us. Richard D. Shupp, 34, of St. Johns, died Thurs­ day morning in the University of Michigan Hos Hos-­ pital.

The present garage area is inad­ equate and the building itself is tn need of repair. Whether to attempt to fix up this building or con­ struct a new one has been under consideration for some time. Too, the location of a new building, if such were selected, has come up for discussion in previous meetings. Presently there is less than $60,000 in the building and site fund. The Board decided to have Chris King, architect, and a member of the board, figure.exact­ ly what could be constructed for this amount of mon­ ey on a new sue which would be at the junior-senior high school. He will make his report at the February meeting. In considering additional classrooms the early ele­ mentary grades are the ones overcrowded at the pres­ ent time, although enrollment figures tend to vary over the years. The Board discussed again tile possi­ bility of using portable classrooms, although they are aware this is not the best solution to their problem. Building costs are continually on the rise, and the Board is anxious to decide on a building program as quickly as possible. In view of this fact the Board voted to ask Supt. Carroll Wolff and high school prin­ cipal Leon Housler to collect all facts pertaining to exact classroom needs. Then a call will go out to every organization in both Nashville and Vermont­ ville to send a representative to a special meeting when all the facts will be presented. In the past the Maple Valley students have, for the most part, used good taste in grooming. Only on a een reprimanded for exfew occasions have students been tremely short skirts, exceptional hairdos, mustaches, beards and too-long sideburns. That is the way the administration and townspeople want to keep it. Since the Christmas holiday, Principal Housler has had to contend with a few exceptions, even including a couple of male teachers whose beards have been con­ sidered in poor taste. The school administration is al­ so aware that Nashville is celebrating its centennial next summer, and for that occasion some males are hoping to sport beards, and the like. The situation came up for considerable discussion Monday evening, and the Board went on record as recommending no beards, mustaches or centennial hairdress until after spring vacation. This will be April 7. The Board voted to accept the resignation of Miss Rosalie Manz as junior high mathematics teacher. They also hired Gregory Hoefler, a Central Michigan University graduate of January 24, to replace her. The Board had previously allowed for the purchase of three busses in the budget, but Monday eveningapproved the purchase of a fourth bus. This will enable the school district to keep within the seven year re­ imbursement program through state aid on school busses. They now have four 1962 busses that are be­ ing used on regular routes. Teacher negotiation meetings will be coming up before long. The Board appointed Herald Hansen and John Viele as board representatives, and Supt. Wolff, Housler and Harold Yost, elementary principal, to meet with the teachers. They also approved transfer of two payroll accounts in the amounts of $32, 324.19 and $31,710. 76 a nd the paying of the general bills in the amount of $14,414. 33. Christmas party held for needy children A touch of happiness was added to the holiday spir­ its of the twenty seven children who attended the Christmas Party for Needy Children which was spon­ sored by the Maple Valley Jaycetts with,the help and cooperation of the Maple Valley Jaycees.- < The children were from both the Vermontville and Nashville areas and were selected, with the aid of the county social worker, by the co-chairmen, Mary and Bill Gibbs and the rest of their committee mem­ bers consisting of Janice Filter, Judy Laurie, and Janice Johnson. The parents of the children were notified prior to the party and arrangements were made for each child to be picked up at 6:00 p. m. on December 16, by a member of the Auxiliary and her husband and would be delivered back home by 8:30 p. m. The evening began with each child being taken to Kelley's 50to $1. 00 Store to purchase an item of clothing from a selection agreed upon by Mr. Kelley and the committee members. Once the item of clothing was purchased, each child was then taken to the high school for a snack and a visit with Santa Claus in the school's cafeteria. To the delight of the children, there was a chrutmas tree in one corn­ er of the room with presents heaped around the bot­ tom. Mr. Santa did the honors of bestowing each child with a gift bearing his own name. These gifts ranged from either a stuffed animal or a doll for the girls, to building blocks or a set of cars for the boys. Santa also gave each child a stocking full of candy. As the evening drew to a close the children selec­ ted a toy and a sack of candy to take home to each of their younger brothers or sisters who were unable to attend. The toys used for this were collected by the FHA girls and were donated to the Auxiliary. The funds used to purchase the clothing and the toys that the children received, were made avail­ able by the candy sales just recently put forth by the Auxiliary. The members of the Auxiliary are very pleased with the success of this first Christmas Party for Needy Children and it is hoped that it can Become an annual affair. Special thanks go out to Max Kel­ ley, to Santa Claus and to everyone else who made the Christmas Party possible. NUMBER 34 Paul E. Siegel named Nashville village attorney Paul E. Siegel of Hastings has been named village attorney for Nashville. His appointment was a p proved Thursday evening at the regular meeting of the village council. Attn. Siegel replaces Horace Powers of Charlotte who was ejected judge of the Barry-Eaton district last November. Tne superintendent of public works, James Er­ win has again made request to the council to have three lots on South Main Street rezoned from resi­ dential to residential-agricultural. This is his sec­ ond attempt to get his land rezoned. This time he stated in the request that he wants to "raise one pony, and no more than two, " on the land which is adjacent to Quaker Creek and is not suitable for a building site or even toe practical for a garden. When he asked that the lots be rezoned in No­ vember of last year, a petition, signed by 30 per­ sons in the area asked that the rezoning remain as it was. On December 12 in a secret ballot the council turned down Erwin's request three to one. One trustee abstained, and one member was a b sent from the meeting. The hearing on the request has been set for Janu­ ary 23, and a vote will be taken at the February 13 meeting. The village ordinance pertaining to the disposal of garbage is to be strictly enforced. This means that garbage must be placed in a metal can with a rodent and fly-proof cover. Presently some cus­ tomers are using paper sacks or cardboard boxes which fall apart when snow-covered and wet. The council voted to pay $250 to the Castleton­ Maple Grove township Fire Board, and okayed pay­ ing the other bills. Four men seeking three trustee positions Seeking election in the Nashville village elec­ tion to take place on Monday, March 10 are: For president, Harold Christiansen, incumbent; clerk, Mrs. Ada Skedgell, incumbent; treasurer, Mrs. Marguerite W ilson, incumbent, and for assessor, Justin W. Cooley who was appointed to that post last January following the resignation of Carl H. Tuttle. The above are running on the Republican ticket. Trustees whose terms expire are Harold N orri$, B. James Varner and Otto Dahm. George Frith was appointed to fill a trustee vacancy caused by the death of Henry Fedewa. Frith's appointment was good only until the next election, and Fedewa's term still has one year to run. Seeking that posi­ tion is Donald Skedgell, Republican. Four men are seeking the three positions left by Norris, Varner and Dahm. They are Oliver Downing and Leon Frith, Democrats, and Eugene Service and Fred Corkins, BfuMicaf, �BACKSTREET BAROMETER It is cleche and old hat, but maybe there is something to the theory that many newspapermen and politicians have put forth lately that the astro­ nauts trip to the moon and the pictures of the earth that they brought back might poasibly, in some way convey to those of us who are living here, the sad truth that we are living on a very small island in a vast sea of space. The pictures of our earth taken from the moon show us that we are small and rath­ er insignificant. When we see a photo of our world and it is as big as a quarter, then we can start to know just how small we are and perhaps it can make us see how close the people of this world are and bow much we need each other. Perhaps then we can stop fighting and hating each other. Just to show now small our world is -- I heard it put this way. If that part of the universe that we can see where the United States our world would be so small that it could not been seen with a micro­ scope. One of my fellow workers in Lansing makes a big point of explaining to people that we are having a centennial celebration in Nashville and that is the reason for the beard. For some reason he feels com­ pelled to add this to an introduction. I think he be­ lieves that otherwise people will think I am a hippie, commie, or a professor — maybe all three and he doesn't want anyone to think he would associate with that type of person. I really can't understand this attitude in the A­ merican male. We talk about how desirable it is to be an individual and yet we want our men to c o n form to a uniform code. The ad account executive must wear a gray flannel suit. The artist may wear a sports jacket, the preacher must wear a black coat. It upsets the whole scheme of things when one of them gets out of uniform. bv jobn boughton The world is full of people like my friend who would have all the men in it looking alike, dress­ ing alike and thinking alike and if one deviated at all from the pattern, to have an excuse for it -­ they are having a centennial in his town. They don't do this with women. They just don't stand still for this jazz. When they want to change the color of their hair they do it. Women just are more independent than men. There is an awful lot of enthusiasm around town for the upcoming centennial celebration. The clos­ er we get to the celebration the more enthusiasm seems to generate. This centennial is going to be a lot of fun, but it is also going to be a lot of work and the only way it will go over really big is for everyone in town to get together and work at it.

They tell us that we have had more snow than we have had in many a long year. Good grief, they didn't need to tell us that.... we could figure that out for ourselves. People are still talking about the big snow we had in January a couple of years ago. If we get another one like that on top of what we now have we are really in for it. The Wayne Pennocks and the Boughtons are both having foreign exchange students from Chile for the next ten weeks. These boys will be going to the Ma­ ple Valley high school and will be a part of our community for the time they are here. I hope we all make them feel welcome. In Vermontville last Friday night Grace Aseltine missed the $25. jackpot held at Spicer's Circle S. The new jackpot will be $50. 00.

MV School News Social tfvviai Science tfwieiiuc GRETA FIRS TER World Geography classes saw a Canadian film on the history of the Canadian Mountie and the western frontier of Canada. Canada had less trouble with the Indians than did the US. Canada sent the Mount­ ie into the Indian camp and told him all Indians were the equal of Canadians. They would expect them to obey all laws as did their white brother. Being considered equal helped keep the peace. The American Government classes have been drafting bills for the "Legislature.

North Vermontville Dear Sir, I am wondering if I can get you to help me try and find my dog. He was taken from me while I was at work New Years Day and left on the streets of Vermontville near the band corners. I did not find it out until late the next day. Because of my job and the road situation, I have been unable to come over and hunt for him, and because it has been so bitter cold and he has been with me since the day be was born and is now 9 years old, and has known nothing except affection and had food and shelter, I am very worried, about him and how he is surviving. • He is shiny black with the sight gone in his right eye. Very wiggly and friendly. But may act timid to strangers. I know your paper goes all over the Vermontville, Nashville area and someone might have seen him or some youngster may have taken him home as a stray. I would gladly reward anyone who finds him and lets me know. They can call me collect Middle­ ville, 795-9650. Please charge me for advertising, but please, can you put it on so it will be noticea in big print. Thank you. Sincerely, Kaye Shaneck R 3, Buggs Rd.

A small percentage of the custom­ ers are mis-using the service which is resulting in a very strained relation between the Disposal Com­ pany and the customers. We are asking that you keep the amount of gar­ bage and trash to a minimum. Use only regulation size cans, which means no larger than 20 gaL Keep the cans covered to keep contents rodent free and discourage stray dogs from littering content*. We ask that you do not use cardboard boxes or paper bags for refuse. They do not hold together this weather and are nearly impossible for the collector to handle. We appreciate your cooperation and hope to con­ tinue giving1 satisfactory service. AdaF.

She is still looking for old postcards that have to do with Nashville, or any other photographs that might be used in the book. Especially needed is a picture of the old Union House, once a thriving hotel which was located on Main Street where the Leonard gas station now stands. It is hoped the book can be printed by early spring, so if anyone has in­ formation the can use contact her at your earliest convenience. The book is to be printed by the Greenville Print­ ing Company, and 3en Butler from the company spoke to the group Wednesday evening and answered questions concerning the publication. Included in the history of Nashville will be two important pages, a patronage page and a memorial page. Everyone is invited to have hi* or her name listed, or if anyone wishes to have the name of a loved one listed on the memorial page this may be done by visiting the Maple Valley News, the Secur­ ity National Bank, Kelley’s Variety Store, the Stop & Shop, Douse's Drug Store, Lathrop's TV Service, Nicholas Appliance, Helen's Beauty Shop, or the South End Food and Beverage Store. Or if it is i n convient to stop in, Mrs. Geneva Brumm, secretary of the Centennial Committee, will accept the names, if accompanied by $1. 00 for each listing. This will make it easier for any former residents wanting to have a name on eitner page. The Chamber of Commerce is to be responsible for selling advertising in the Centennial book.

Chien a weekly syndicated column distributed by the Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency A Middle-aged Dream As an individual who had completed his college education and graduate work rather early, I re­ member clearly my experiemice _________ __ ‘ fel' as a research low at Michigan State University ‘ during ‘ ‘ 11950. The generation _. gap was never discussed in _ ... . the* ' room. During*that time I was younger than many of my students who were frequently Korean veter­ an* on the GI BILL They were in tneir late twen­ ties or early thirties. My age was only 23 or 24. The students' attitude was ver/ serious. They were grateful to have the golden opportunity of educa­ tion in order for them to have a better future. My feeling was of inadequacy and I wished .1 knew more so I could teach them better. Eighteen yean later I suddenly discovered myself the victim of the generation gap. On different campuses where I lectured, I was comidered an ancient fixture. My thinking represented the Es­ tablishment; I was sometime* even classified as a self-centered capitalist. I believe this myth of the generation gap is a hoax created by public relation firm* in order to push many consumer product* with such slogans a* "think young, ’ "act young," and "look young." This generation gap may even be considered a* a conspiracy of those who try to create the conflict between the young and old. In Asia and in Europe the majority of the population respect their eldea; any individual who ha* reached longetivity is noth­ ing to be ashamed of, especially today with our medical science improvement* and progress. These rebels will have the opportunity to receive their social security checta in the early 2000. Unless the younger generation trie* to commit suicide or start a nuclear war, they cannot stop the increase of their age. After fortunately passing the age of 40, I f e e 1 more relaxed. I am unable to find a* many faults with life a* in my twenties or thirties. My think­ ing is more mature. I am willing to do more lis­ tening. I have more cornyistnn to my fellow hu­ man beings. Most of all I know I am closer to my Creator each day from now on. I know how to make plans to leave some money for some chari­ table organizations; bow to complete a will to take care of the family. Most of all. I would like more than ever now that the dream of peace and good Dean's List Ferris State College has honored 1,024 students for academic excellence in the Fall Quarter by nam ing them to the Dean'* Honor List.

Photo by Gladys Richardson School buses inspected The 22 buses of the Maple Valley School district were given the annual vehicle inspection on Mon­ day by members of the Safety and Traffic Division of the Michigan Department of State Police. The first part of the Inspection is- the same as for any vehicle. Checked are the glass areas for s a f e ty and vision; windshield wipers and washers;lights, front and rear directional, high and low beams,aim, output, tail and stop lights, plate and beam indica­ tor; horn; steering; brakes, foot and parking; tires, for tread, bulges or breaks; exhaust, noisy or smoky; mirrors and seat belts.

The inspection for the state is divided into eight districts. Testing the Maple Valley buses were Trooper D. A. Smith and Trooper Darwin Downey and their area includes schools in the East Lansing, Brighton, Ionia and Ithaca vicinities which includes more than 50 school districts. The state gave annual inspections on school buses up until about ten years ago. Then they were drop­ ped until a year ago for financial reasons. In discussing the Maple Valley buses with the news media Trooper Smith said that generally speak­ ing the buses are in good condition, much better than last year, which was the first time in ten yean the buses had come under the close inspection. He also states that buses are subject to inspection at any time by an authorized official if he wishes to stop a bus on the highway, in the parking area, or elsewhere. e* Locals Judy Gray returned to Boyne Mountain Friday morn­ ing after spending two days with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Gaylord Gray.

The flu bug adopted both Rose and Al—sec­ ond time for Al since Christmas— and decided to suy a full week and then some. Sonya took over check­ out for Rose and--you guessed it— Penny got the flu and was house­ bound all last week. Just as we were all feeling sorry for ourselves, Printha caught her finger in the door of the walk-in freezer and mashed it so badly she is lucky to still have the whole finger. Then we all felt mighty sorry for her. She was back to work the next day and we tell her by the time she has two good hands she ought to be able to do twice the work! So far as we know, no customers have had to check out I their own groceries; we hone the service hasn't been too bad around I the store.

This week, January 19-25, has been set aside to inform the public about the Jaycee movement. The Jaycees is a civic or community service or­ ganization for men between the ages of 21 and 35. Their organization is dedicated to providing leader­ ship training through community development work. Each Jaycee is offered such advantages as a chance to voice his feeling in community affairs, a leader­ ship development course not available through any college in the world, social and recreational activ­ ities with men in his own age group, a chance to improve his community and responsibilities result­ ing in developing the ability to make his own decis­ ions. These are just a few of the many hundreds of advantages of being a jaycee. The Jaycees, now more than a quarter of a mil­ lion strong, are working for community betterment in more than 6, 300 communities in the nation. It should be pointed out that the Jaycees are in no way affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce. How­ ever, in many instances we will find the two organi­ zations working closely together in the community. Perhaps the best way for one to become fully a­ ware of the purpose of the Jaycee movement would be to take just a moment to read through the J a y - cee Creed, absorbing the meaning of each and every line. THE JAYCEE CREED We Believe: That Faith in God gives meaning and purpose to human life; That brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations: That economic justice can best be won by free men through free enterprise; That government should be of laws rather than of men; That earth's great treasure lies in human per­ sonality; And that service to humanity to the best work of life. The wives of the Maple Valley Jaycees , the Jaycee Auxiliary, have a feeling of great pride dur­ ing Jaycee Week. The Jaycees rank 16th out of more than 270 Jaycee Chapters in the state for serv­ ing the people of the two communities. Considering the Jaycees have been in existence less than a year, the Auxiliary feels it has a right to be proud of the men. For those are husbands who have worked countless hours on numerous projects, and are now being re­ cognized for their many achievements. The Auxil­ iary feels that residents of Nashville and Vermont­ ville should be proud too.. So, Hats Off to the Men! ...beauty,charm plus automatic gas heating comfort!

Enroute they visited the Painted Desert and Petrified Forest, Meteor Crater and other points of interest. They found heavy snow at Flagstaff, Arizona (a reported 18") and many roads blocked or closed and 215 miles of hazardous driving from there west. They visited many places of interest in the I os Angeles area including Disneyland, Universal Stud­ io City, Palm Springs and Indio; then drove along the coast south to San Juan, Capistrano and the beautiful old mission, to San Diego where they vis­ ited Sea World, Balboa Park and Its many attrac­ tions, down to the Mexican border and Chula Vista. They started east along the southern border of the United States to El Centro, Calif, a beautiful fer­ tile valley to Yuma, Arizona and the dune races, around the Gulf of Mexico to Daytona Beach, Fla., where they visited her mother, Mrs. John Dull of Nashville and Miss Esther Dull, an aunt, for a few days before returning home. They attended a large antique show and Bull Auc­ tion at Ocala.

Council attempts to solve garbage mix-up The Village Council met with Mt. Ed. Baker and Mr. Dale Johnson from the Charlotte Disposal Com­ pany during their last council meeting to try and solve some of the problems facing Nashville cus­ tomers. Mr. Baker says that due to an excess of trash, paper and cardboard being sent with the gar­ bage, they would have to insist on stronger restric­ tions. The Council decided starting February 1st, 1969 the limit for each family would be two 20-gallon cans. These are to contain only garbage, cans and bottles. If garbage is wrapped in paper and placed in a paper container, this will be permitted. Any ' excess amount of paper will be refused. Paper and cardboard should be burned if it can be taken care of without violating the burning ordinance; other­ wise it can be taken to the village-dump. The dump is open Wednesday from 4:00 p. m. to 6:00 p. m. and on Saturdays from 9:00 a. m. to 3:00 p. m. The garbage collector reserves the right to reject any can due to size or poor condition.

When he fist arrived we had plenty of snow but almost immediately it melted. The other day he asked Amy if she thought we ( would have more snow before he went back to Chi­ le. She assured him that he would see more snow than he wants before he goes back. He had a ball with the kids Sunday. They went to Peck's Hill for a bit of sliding. He doesn't get much of this at home. These exchange students are very well trained. They seem to fit right in with the host families.

We got a tank full of tropical fish for Christmas and we also got an ant farm and between the two I have spent very little time watching the boob-tube. The fish and the ants are much more entertaining. Amy and I went over to East Lansing last week­ end to the press meeting. The only one we have missed since we have been here is the one held dur­ ing the big snow of two years ago. We won an a­ ward this year, which makes us happy. I am getting some publicity ready for a photo show which I’ll have in February and for it I had Chris take my picture. I was shocked to see myself with a beard nut after looking at the negative for a while I have decided I like it Maybe I’ll keep it af­ ter the centennial is over. My brother-in-law is a jogger who gets up early in the morning and runs around the neighborhood. Well, he used to run around the neighborhood.. But no more... It seems he got rather shook on his morn­ ing rounds. In the first place a big dog who lives down the street would hide in the weeds and pounce out at the jogging human. The dog no doubt decided that any man who was running must be running from something. The dog probably thought he was catch ing a crook of some kind. Otten tabbits would run a­ long with him but the topper came when a duck jog­ ged along with him. Brother-in-law has given up going out in the cold. He has now measured out a mile in nis house and jogs around the living room, kitchen and bath. His wife says it is like having an earthquake every mom- We had so many nice comments on our last week's issue - that the pictures were unusually nice and the amount of news reported seemed well rounded. We like to hear these comments, of course. Often though, it seems that what we hear is not the good things we have done that particular week, but all the things we overlooked, didn’t re­ port in length, just wasn't at that meeting, or some such thing. The point I wish to make is this. We like to have good news We like to have good pic­ tures, and various interest points. How­ ever, N "just wanting these things to hapabouL upon our supporters - our adver- to the pages of this newswbo have various advertiseare the ones who are making the good rimo twenty years, middle schools all had the same textbook with the same timetable. For instance, on November 7 at three o'clock all the eleventh grade pupils were supposed to study history on page 373, paragraph two, line five. Under this rigid commun­ istic military system, the bureaucrats have tried to suppress education, choke off free thinking and op­ pore dissenters under the false pretense of national standardization and unification. Under the communistic rule of Russia, Red China and Cuba there are so many so-called behavior re­ searchers. Their jobs involve the spying, reporting and compiling of statistics for the secret police. In many cases they compile three to five thousand pa­ ges of' statistical listical data for the communist leaders leaden to review. There are so many bureaucratic red tapes in communistic countries today that most persons wonder why these reports are made because nobody ever reads them. They are put to use when the se­ ice chooses to to'penecute cret police persecute certain individuals. tive, wasted manpower on reporting, and policing without direct production. Under the Parkinson law we realize that in a complicated society we must have certain rules and regulations. However, in many cases, even in our democratic society, we will find many inse­ cure and inferior leaders in our industrial and gov­ ernmental agencies who try to suppress the indlvidcratic leaders desire reports after reports. In many cases, these reports are never read or reviewed. Frequently the persons reading the reports are rare­ ly qualified to make fair judgments and summaries of the reports. We waste so much time and effort, especially in the governmental services. In the compiling of reports, these people falsely feel they have accomplished something, and they con­ gratulate themselves. In reality it is wasted man­ power and destroyed incentive. As a 30-year vet­ eran of civil service stated, "Getting ahead in gov­ ernmental service today involves not performance but report writing.

It is not a pretty record, but one the readers should be aware of, for it does disclose the activities o f the law breakers. A total of 36 boys and girls in the " 10 and under through 17 year" age group have been taken into custody for committing offenses of various types. These juveniles, for the purposes of Uniform'Crime reporting, are counted as " arrested" when the cir­ cumstances are such that if he or she were an adult, an arrest would be made. A total of 25 children whose cases were handled within the local depart­ ment were released to the parents. Four other chil­ dren were referred to juvenile court or probation de­ partment; one was referred to the welfare agency, and four to other police agencies. None were re­ ferred to criminal or adult court. Most appalling is the fact that the largest n u m ber of juvenile offenses dealt with marijuana or other such drugs. Two 13-14-year-old boys, six 15 year-Old boys, five 16, and one 17-year-old boy were involved Four children were picked up for infraction of other narcotic drug offenses, includ­ ing two girls in the 13-14 age bracket and one 15 and one 17-year-old boy. Burglary (breaking and entering) offenses number­ ed five. These were committed by one boy and one girl ten years of age or vounger, and three boys whose ages were 15, 16 and 17. Five boys were involved in vandalism offenses. One was in the 11-12 year group, one in the 13-14 group and the other three were 17 years old. One boy in the 13-14 age bracket was involved in a forcible rape offense; one 17-year-old boy was picked up on a weapons (carrying, possessing, etc.) offense; one 15-year old boy on a liquor law offense; one 16-year-old boy for disorderly conduct, there were four runaway girls--one each in the 13­ 14 age group, 15, 16 and 17 years of age. The above cases do not include police "contacts" with juveniles where no offense had been commit­ ted. Nor do they include instances where juveniles were taken into custody for his own protection, such as "neglect." Looking at tbe picture "agewise" the 15-year olds committed the largest number of offenses-ten. The 16 and 17 year olds each committed eight; the 13-14 year olds, seven offenses; the 11- 12 age group, one offense, and there were two in the 18-and-under age group. In this instance the damage done by the youngest children far surpass­ ed that in the older groups so far as monetary val­ ue was concerned. Officer Langham’s report of persons 18 years of age and over show that the 18-year olds comfaitted the largest number of offenses, 15. Three males and one female were involved in breaking and en­ tering; one male for assault; five males for vanda­ lism; one male for a liquor violation; three males were involved in larceny cases and one female was picked up on a miscellaneous offense. For die next several age-groups the figures take a sudden drop. Only two 19-year-old youths were arrested, one for auto . theft and one for carrying or possessing a weapon. The 20-year-olds also numbered two, one for burglary, and another for a liquor offense. There were no offenses listed un­ der the 21-year-old youths, and only one in the 22-year list, and that for breaking and entering. Only two 23-year-olds were arrested, one male for burglary and another male for auto theft. Only one 24-year-old male was picked up and that on a miscellaneous offense. Then the picture changes again. Four males were arrested in the 25 through 29-age group, three on larceny charges (other than auto) and one auto theft. Six arrests were made in the 30-34 age group. Included were two males on robbery charg­ es, one for forcible rape, one for larceny other than auto theft, one on an assault charge, and one male and one female committed miscellaneous of­ fenses. The other two arrests were for driving while under the influence of liquor and included one male in the 35-39 age group and one in the 50-54 ^The record established in Nashville for 1968 is far from pretty, but it does reflect police activities for this Barry County village and its population of 1. 625 persons. "While Nashville is typically thought to be a rur­ al community, " said Langham, "we have the same type of law enforcing ano law breaking problems as our metropolitan neighbors. Emphasis must be placed on the prevention of crime rather than con­ centration on arrest after the crime is committed. More guidance should be given before they come to the attention of the police." Residents protest rezoning Two petitions, protesting the rezoning of the James Erwin property on South Main Street, were presented the Nashville Village Council Thursday evening, One petition was signed by 36 residents residing near the Erwin property. The other peti­ tion. carrying 76 names, was signed by residents living in other areas of the community. Mr. Erwin had asked earlier that three lots ad­ jacent to Quaker Creek be rezoned from residential to residential-agriculturaL No reasons were given at this time. Residents petitioned the council not to rezone the lots, and in action last month the council voted against rezoning. Then Erwin again asked that the rezoning take place, stating that he wanted to "raise one and no more than two ponies" on the land. The petition signed by the 36 residents stated the following reasons for not wanting the land re­ zoned: It is undermining the Zoning Ordinance; would cause a large mud hole than already exists; tbe pasture is inadequate to pasture any animals properly; the fencing is inadequate to hold any an­ imals forced to eat swamp grass, and they object­ ed to offensive odors from the area which pasturing one or two ponies might create. The second peti­ tion gave no specific reasons for objecting to the rezoning. The Council will take action on the mat­ ter at the next regular council meeting scheduled for Thursday evening, February 13. John Wixson asked that a resolution be drawn transferring the beer and wine license for the tav­ ern at 107 N. Main Street from Gladys Wixson to Mr. Wixson. Permission was granted. The Council will ask the State Highway Depart­ ment to put up "no parking^igm in front of the fire barn and the adjacent building where the ambu­ lance is housed. Ed. Baker from the Charlotte Sanitation Service was present to discuss picking up garbage within the village. Presently there are a good many resi­ dents unhappy with the garbage pickup, ana Mr. Baker is just as displeased with the situation. After a lengthy discussion it was decided that starting in February only cans, bottles and garbage would be picked up by the Charlotte outfit. All papers, trash, etc., will have to be handled by the indiv­ iduaL When tbe Charlotte outfit first came into Nashville Mr Baker had said he would pick up "anything" he could handle, except large articles such as old refrigerators, bedsprings, stones, and the like. But at Thursday night’s meeting he said "we'll have to back off, only cans, bottles and garbage from now on. " It is hoped that by the time of tbe Centennial celebration in June a new drinking fountain will be Installed in Central Park, As a part of the summer recreation activities, the council purchased some little league equipment. ter storage, and the council is urging that it Water and sewer extensions were discussed at considerable length, along with raising the rates. Probably in the near future a representative ~ from an engineering firm will be invited in to dis­ cuss how tms can be accomplished. Other business was routine. CENTENNIAL CORRECTION: To avoid confusion, a correction is given in re­ gard to the Centennial Book. It was stated that the Chamber of Commerce was responsible for the sellingof advertising for tbe Centennial Book. The Centennial Committee is responsible for this and is being aided by various organizations taking part in the Centennial planning. There is much enthusiasm for the celebration of Nashville's Centennial in June. Many women already have their Centennial dresses and the men are sport­ ing beards, long sideburns, wearing top hats and derby hats. Shown below are Mike Appelman, Larry Decker and Loren Dingman. Tbe smiles on their facet are good indications of the fun they are having over this occasion. be The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, January 30, 1969 —Photo by Gladys Richardson �Vermontville youth fined on assault charge Earl Oliver Nelson, 18, of Route 1, Vermontville, appeared in District Court before Judge Kenneth Hansen Tuesday, January 21, on an assault charge.

Accord­ ing to the report of officer Langham, Nelson had gone to the Maple Valley Elementary School on Queen Street, where the younger boy was waiting to board a school bus to take him to tbe junior-sen­ ior high school building.

This committee was organized three years ago and its purpose was to act as a clearing house for all ideas on improvement and betterment of the com­ munity. A great many things have been accomplish­ ed, wnile some good ideas never got off the ground. There is reason to keep this committee active, and with the support and cooperation of the 23 organi­ zations in Vermontville a happy success story for the enjoyment of all citizens can be accomplished. The committee has already been successful in getting a history of the community written, and through this a Historical Society was formed and a Museum set up. Plans are now complete and the program ready to be put into motion for a Welcome Committee. An Emergency Service Center has had the backing of the Planning Committee. This was set up to assist families that had burned out or were in need of articles because of other disasters. This is open during the summer months on Friday after­ noon and evening to sell the extras that are brought in by anyone who had articles no longer needed. Some of the ideas which have not been too success f ul up to now include bringing a drug store into Vermontville, as well as filling other empty store buildings. It is also hoped the three fine churches in the community can be filled for each service. These, as well as other projects need the coopera­ tion and work of the residents at large. A Community United Fund idea was also listed, but nothing has been done along this line. Other 1­ deas which could be carried out with proper back­ ing are zoning and draining projects. The village is to have a new sewage system, which will be a n asset to the community. Other good ideas which need pushing are replac­ ing dead elms with beautiful maples. Three years ago a Girl Scout troop was founded and today it is going strong with eight adult lead­ ers >nd 70 girls involved. The Boy Scouts have en­ larged their activities over the past three years. A teen center was tried but lacked the cooperation to make it a worthwhile project. Vermontville has many needs, just as any com­ munity on "the grow. " The Planning Committee needs the support of everyone to see that these ideas are put to work with the backing of all citizens.

She also has an alternating mattress which provides more comfort, during her sleeping and rest­ ing hours, and this too was a gift from the Hastings Elks. Julie was born with a defect which has prevented her from walking. A precocious child, with pretty curls and big brown eyes, she was enrolled in the Ann J. Kellogg school in Battle Creek. However, because of the flu threat and long hours involved in traveling added to the school day, was a little more than she could cope with. Besides, she has been hos­ pitalized three times since Thanksgiving. Although Julie is only seven, she is capable of reading on a ten-year level, and she writes very well, correspond­ ing regularly with two brothers in the service, one in Vietnam and one in Louisiana. Julie is only one of seven youngsters now being assisted through the Major Projects of the Hastings Elks. The Major Projects division of the Hastings lodge has been in operation since 1960. At that time Elton Sanderson was appointed chairman, a po­ sition he has continued to bold. To date.the Hastings Maple Valley Jaycees plan fund-raising fun night The members of the Maple Valley Jaycees are making plans for a fund-raising "fun-night" with all proceeds going for the Nashville Centennial Cel­ ebration. This fund- raising event is being called "A Night at the Casino” and will be held in the K. P. Hall a­ bove Makers IGA Store, on Saturday evening, Feb­ ruary 15th. Tnere will be various games of skill set up and these will be played using bogus money. All excess winnings can be used at the auction at the end of the evening. All proceeds will be turned over to the Centen­ nial Committee to help support the festivities in June. All adults are invited to attend and take part in this fun night. Refreshments will be available. Tickets are available at the door. Additional infor­ mation is available from members of the Maple Valley Jaycees. Flouride cards available Cards and letters have been sent out to parents of the children who will receive flouride treatments, but many pre-schoolers are not on the list. Parents of those children are asked to contact the area chairmen, Mrs. Gene Mater, Mrs. William Swift or Mrs. Dale Maurer. Extra cards are also a­ vailable at the schools. Elks have given assistance to 31 cases. Their work has been to provide just about everything imaginable for handicapped and underprivileged children Includ­ ing dental care, dental braces, bearing aids, tonsil and adenoids operations, medical care, foot braces, and purchasing vitamins, just to mention a few. San­ derson is being assisted by Thane (Tony) Young, and their visitations to these various cases take them all over Barry County and adjacent areas. There is no case left unnoticed, if the Elks hear about them. Last year the Hastings Elks spent $2, 000 in Barry County alone, and they were rated second, per capita, in Michigan, in helping children. In the State of Michigan the Elks Major Projects is in its 12fh year, and they have given assistance to nearly 2, 500 children. Last year Michigan Elks spent $120,000 and this year they hope to bring in $125, 000 to be spent assisting children. They han­ dle cases from birth up to 21 years of age. The Ladies Auxiliary of the Hastings Elks were very active in giving aid also. They ranked first in the State of Michigan, and also first in all lodges in the 300 to 500-membership category. Police Chief Langham tenders resignation Nashville's Police Chief, Donald Langham tender­ ed Ms resignation to the village council on February 1, effective in 30 days. Langham was named acting village marshal on Oc­ tober 12, 1967, after the resignation of Robert Parker. He was named Chief of Police on November 30 of that year. Prior to that time he had been serv­ ing as Zoning Administrator for thfe village. Listing among his reasons for quitting his position were: No family life; improper sleeping habits, no time off; no weekends, all due, he said, to the vil­ lage requiring 90 hours a week and above working time with the police department. He recommends that'protection for the 1C25 citizens, plus the transi­ ents, will require two full men, and possibly a part time man, to adequately give the protection needed, and he cannot see this in the future plans of the vil­ lage government. Mr. Langham feels he does not have the backing of the village officials, and thaf'it is too much for one man to handle with no apparent future cooper­ ation or no 'relief in sight. ” In summarizing his position Langham said: "Long hours not properly compensated for, very little co­ operation and understanding between citizens, Vil­ lage Council and its police department, expecting too much from one man and not bringing its police department anywhere near the State, County, or City level of one man per 750 to 1, 000 population” were his reasons for submitting his resignation.

Chien a weekly syndicated column distributed by the Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency Nashville, Michigan February 1, 1969 To the Editor Nashville, Mich. Overly cautious individuals create stagnation Our economic productivity indicates the nation's businesses health has lasted eight years. This may be one of the longest periods our nation has not suf­ fered an economic recession. This length of contin­ ual prosperity has caused many individuals to b e come concerned about the coming months and years. In certain extreme cases some individuals hoard money under mattresses. They feel the coming de­ pression will be worse than the last depression. They also believe no banks will be able to survive, even with federal government's federal deposit insurance "Legislature discriminates against handicapped children" At its January meeting m East Lansing, the Mich­ igan Association of Administrators of Special Educa­ tion expressed grave concern over what it described as inequitable state support for educational programs for handicapped children. Association President, David Barrett of Jackson stated that the State aid formula developed by the Legislature for handicapped children has, in effect, been rendered meaningless by an arbitrary ceiling on financial support by the State, without regard for increased numbers of handicapped children served or actual program costs. State aid for the 1967-68 year was over 2 1/2 mil­ lion dollats short of meeting the basic formula share of the cost. The Michigan Department of Education estimates that the shortage will range from 6 to 10 million dollars for the current school year (1968-69). Association spokesmen expressed fear that the ceil­ ing would lead to a reduction in programs for hand­ icapped children and could mean that some would no longer be able to attend school. Dr. David Haarer of Ingham Intermediate School District, indicated that without additional financial support, Ingham County Programs for handicapped children (Lansing Area) will need to be cut in half for next year. A similar situation exists in the Le­ nawee Intermediate School District. According to Special Education Director George Eidson, staff members in that district have been notified that without increased financial support, all Special Ed­ ucation staff positions, other than teachers of r e tarded children, will be eliminated next year. Barrett indicated that these are not isolated prob­ lems, but are representative of the general situation throughout the State. He pointed out that the ceil­ ing placed on the reimbursement of programs for handicapped children is inconsistent with reimburse­ ment for non-handicapped children, where the state pays in full its obligation per formula. The Association is urging the Legislature to a p propriate supplementary funds in order that the State may meet its obligation to handicapped chil­ dren by providing sufficient State aid for the cur­ rent year's program. Walter Wend, Director of Special Education for Berrien Intermediate School District, said that while a few Legislators had indicated that they would support a deficit appropriation for special ed­ ucation programs and removal of the financial ceilings, he expressed doubt that legislators would take action witnout a strong expression of concern by interested citizens. Donald Scott, Director of Special Education for the Eaton Intermediate School District, reported that because of the ceiling on special education, the Eaton Intermediate School District stands to lose$114, 800. 00 in state support of special educa­ tion. This means that this loss will have to be ab­ sorbed by local districts and the intermediate school office and has serious implications for the growth of special education in the county. It seems incon­ ceivable that the Legislature has chosen to add an­ other ■ burden to mentally, physically or emotion­ ally handicapped children by placing a ceiling on the funds allotted for their education according to Scott.

They have no faith in the government's ability to save the banks in time of need. Tremen­ dous amounts of losses were suffered in 1929 during the bank holidays. As a result, these old depression minded farmers feel city-slick bankers today are no more honest than 1929 bankers. This negative type of thinking will cause tremen­ dous amounts of economic chaos in our society. One's attitude to economic recessions is no different than one's attitude towards physical illness. We have to be careful with our diet and physical exer­ cise. There is no use, however, for us to expect to be sick or to die all the time. If we have so much fear of death and illness and economic depression, our life is not worth living. Overly-cautiousness is usually started by a few negative-thinking individuals. They usually will lead us from a national epidemic to an economic disaster. If individuals were to.take money out of the bank, hoard it in basements, consumers boycott all goods and all industries and expansion plans, ec­ onomic chaos would ultimately result. We individuals as citizens have to renew our faith in our free enterprise system. We must look forward with an optimistic attitude, in order for our eco ». nomic system to survice. Dear Mr. Boughton, For the past few months I have read and heard/about the committee meetings and plans for the Nash­ ville Centennial to be held in June. I also read in your last week's paper an article of the police records of the past year. It was shocking to read of the many young people involved in crime. To me and I am sure there are other parents that feel the same way I do, that the money that is be­ ing spent on advertising for the Centennial as well as derbys, top hats, ties, vest, gowns, gartets, etc. as well as paying a $1. 00 toward having your name in the Centennial Book, could be put to better use than this. I have not invested any money in this venture nor do I intend to. I think for Nashville to have celebrat­ ed their Centennial quietly would have been far ni­ cer and puttingthe money that is being spent on this Centennial into a building or youth center. There isn't or has there ever been anything for our young people to do, but get into mischief. Unless some­ thing is done soon, it will get much worse. The 1968 Police record was printed in The State Journal and many of the fellows that work at the shop in Lansing saw the article in which a small town of 1625 per­ sons could have so much trouble. How many others feel the same as I do. Sincerely, Irene Main Alcoholism and alcoholics (Hugh W.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION - introduced in the Legislature before final adjourn­ ment, probably, late next summer. During the 75th biennial session of the Legisla­ ture, the state’s lawmakers will turn their attention to: Spending and taxes, the two issues which customingest, strongest debate because 14792960 they attect all ot the state's nearly 9 million resi­ dents. Education, including tex aid to parochial schools and increased appropriations to state-supported col­ leges and universities. Public employee strikes and how to prevent them. Special consideration will be given to teacher­ school board problems in an effort to avert a class­ room crisis next fall. Public welfare programs, which this year cost the state $229 million. A joint Senate-House committee study of the entire welfare structure is expected. Crime control, on the state's streets and at the or­ ganized leveL Attorney General Frank J. Kelley has prepared a list of proposals ranging from motorcycle gang crackdowns to redefining the use of electronic bugging devices to higher pay for county prosecutors. Labor, including an AFL-CIO bid for a $2 per hour minimum wage law, with overtime pay for work in excess of 40 hours. Medical law changes in the areas of human organ transplants and abortion restrictions. A Senate com­ mittee headed by Sen. N. Lorraine Beebe, R- Dear­ born, has been investigating this field. Traffic safety, with legislation to lower the blood alcohol level at which a driver is legally presumed drunk and tougher restrictions on incorrigible driven as the major items. The new session is the fiat split Legislature in Michigan since 1937. Democrats control the bouse, 57-52, with one vacancy due to the recent death of Rep. Frederic J. Marahall of Allen; Republicans the Senate, 20-18. Leaders of both chambers anticipate at least a semblance of bipartisan cooperation on the outset but admit many legislators will be maneuvering for position in the 1970 general election as the session wears on, A new Governor and House are to be elected in 1970, and Republicans fear that Democrats, with their majority in the House, will try to use their leg­ islative power to create campaign issues. Gov. George Romney's adieu to Michigan's was any­ thing but soft-line. He triggered widespread reaction by proposing Michigan's parochial schools consider ’ leaving secular education to the state. In his farewell message to the people, Romney said it could be too expensive a proposition to ask taxpay­ ers to support both private and public school systems. He also said the Governor, with consent of the Sen­ ate, should appoint Justices of the seven-member State Supreme Court and Judges of the 12-member Court of Appeals. The same procedure, he added, should be used to name members of the State Board of Education and the governing boards of the University of Michigan, Michigan State and Wayne State Universities. The judicial vacancies now are filled by nonparti­ san elections, although Supreme Court justice* are nominated by party conventions. Candidates for the education board* run in partisan, statewide elections. HEAD START Michigan's legislators convened their 1969 ses­ sion, and oraced for some hard multi-million dollar decisions in the weeks ahead.

PROPOSED FOR NASHVILLE & VERMONTVILLE Warm Warning With improvements planned in Nashville and Vermontville telephone service, certain changes in charges, shown in the box below, are being presented to the Michigan Public Service Commission for approval. MWUm GAS INCINERATOR NEW BUILDING AND EQUIPMENT In March, 1969, a modern dial central office in one new building will be ready to serve both our Nashville and Vermontville customers. The building has been constructed and the new equipment is now being installed. BETTER GRADES OF SERVICE THROUGHOUT THE NASHVILLE AND VERMONTVILLE EXCHANGE AREA Th«*E«*y. Cloan, Saf*. Low Coat Way of Diopo*<ng of Food Wasta and Trash' As a further improvement we are adding more lines and equipment throughout the Nashville and Vermontville exchange areas to provide better grades of service in place of 4-party residence service. Therefore, it will be necessary for all 4-party residence customers to upgrade their service to either 1-party or 2-party residence service. If, however, their location is in the outlying area, where rural service is offered, they may choose to have rural service. Until such time as facilities become available for the higher grades of service, customers with 4-party residence service could retain their services at their present locations. However, if the Commission approves our proposal, 4-party residence service would not be available for new applicants nor to present customers moving to new locations. TAa Aatvw to Fee* Waefa •fW TrasA CNapwaW Is Smo*1oss-O4orlesa Model L-15B LOWE BROS. & DAD 543-1560 CHANGES IN CHARGES (Amounts Shown Do Not Include State and Federal Taxes') THROUGHOUT THE NASHVILLE AND VERMONTVILLE EXCHANGE AREA 4-Party residence customers changing to 2-party flat rate service would pay 60^ more per month for the better grade of service. They also could select Budget Service, for 25^ less per month than their present basic rate. (See Note below). IN THE RURAL AREA OUTSIDE THE BASE RATE AREA In addition to the above change in basic monthly rates, if they are 4-party residence customers changing to a better grade of service, and are in the outlying rural area, they would also receive an increase in their Rural Zone charge as the Rural Zone charges are higher for the better classes of service. The amount of increase in Rural Zone charges would depend upon their location and would range from 25f to $2.50 per month for 4-party residence customers changing to either 2-party flat rate or Budget Service. If, however, they do not wish to change to the higher grade of service, they may sub­ scribe to rural service at 75/ more per month than they now pay for their basic service; however, no Rural Zone charges will be applied. NOTE: Budget Service is a 2-party message rate service at $2.25 per month with an allowance of 20 local messages per month. Additional local messages at 8.4/ each.

' EXPERT -----GUARANTEED ■HI repair •Watches •Clocks •Jewelry Too State Representative Stanley M. Powell (R-Ionia) has received his committee appointments for the next two years in the Michigan House. Powell will serve on the House Consumers and Agriculture, Revision and Amendment of the Con­ stitution, and Towns and Counties committees. Rep. Powell is a veteran of all three of his com­ mittees, and served as Chairman of the Towns and Counties Committee for the past two years. While satisfied with his assignments, Powell vig­ orously protested the move by majority Democrats to rename the Agriculture Committee, now called Consumers and Agriculture. Powell has served on the committee ever since he was first elected to the Legislature. "Obviously Democrats are trying to give agricul­ ture, Michigan's number two industry, an insignifi­ cant place in legislative considerations, " Powell charged. "They nave packed the majority positions on the committee with Detroiters who have no know­ ledge or interest in the critical problems of rural Michigan. I intend to do what I can to prevent this callous attempt to plow under the needs of our agri­ cultural community. " Powell, a former delegate to the Constitutional Convention, retains a keen interest in the docu­ ment he helped to write and said he is pleased that he will continue his membership on the Revision and A mendment Committee.

MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13. 1969 NUMBER -88 Historical Society to meet Shown here is Gary Foote, Jaycee V ice-Presi­ dent, discussing the events of the Winter State Board Meeting of the Michigan Jaycees with State Jaycee President, Bob Padget. Young men of action Gary Foote, Nashville Jaycee, attended the Win­ ter State Board Meeting of the Michigan Jaycees held in Detroit on February 7 and 8, and sponsored by the Farmington and Southfield chapters of the Jaycees. Over 4. 000 Jaycees and their wives at­ tended from the entire state. Highlight of the weekend was the selection of the five outstanding young men of Michigan for 1968. These men were chosen for their contribu­ tion to their communities through their participa­ tion in social, church and governmental activi­ ties. The Michigan Jaycees are composed of over 12, 000 young men from every walk of, life. From Detroit to Houghton, Vassar to Grand Rapids, these men contribute their time, talents and efforts to make their communities a better society in which to live. Inner City parks, Christmas parties for orphans, packages for soldiers in Vietnam and Soap Box Der­ bys are just a few of the activities to which the Jaycees devote their time. Always looking for new ways to improve their towns, the Jaycees will al­ ways be ready to step in and help out when the community calls. The Michigan Jaycees are truly, "Young Men of Adtipo." Maple Valley Board members vote to buy four school buses The Maple Valley School Board, at the regularly scheduled meeting, Monday evening, passed a reso­ lution that all regular scheduled athletic events shall be postponed on days when it is impossible to have school in session because of weather or road condi­ tions. This is with the exception of state sponsored school activities, 'Such as the high school athletic tournaments. The rule will go into effect immediate­ ly. Occasionally in the past the athletic teams have participated in the evening after school had been closed-for the day because of bad road conditions. It was the feeling of Superintendent Wolff and the Board that on days when the conditions are such that school cannot be in session, it would not be proper to expect the athletic teams to go to the school, or be bussed to another school for a contest. The Board also decided that the one day originally planned for in-service training of teachers in Febru­ ary be used for regular school sessions instead. It was the feeling of the Board that because of the time al­ ready missed because of the weather, it would be too bad for the students to miss more time. The Board, in further action, accepted the resigna­ tion of Mo. Lynn Suida, speech correctionist. Mr. Suida teas accepted employment out of the area and they will be moving March 14. Mr. Wolff said Mrs. Suida has done a fine job and that it will be difficult to replace het. > . They also resolved to offer a contract to Mrs. Joan Kent who has taken over the sixth grade at Kellogg School as of January 20th. In further action the Board accepted the low bid of 113, 916.12 for four school bus chassis. The low bid was from the International Harvester Co. of Lansing. The January meeting of the Barry County Histori­ cal Society was held on the 16th in the Hastings City Bank meeting room. Mr. Lewis Godfrey gave a very interesting talk on the history of the Wniskey Run Tavern and the settlement of the surrounding area. A surprise to everyone present was his sharing of sev­ eral letters written by a soldier of the Civil War to his family who had left their home in Ohio to settle in the area around Whiskey Run. These letters are excellent in their description of the activities of the outfit and his queries as to the nature of his family’s new home are most interesting. ' The February meeting will be held on Tuesday, February 18, at 7:30 in the All-Purpose Room at Northeastern Elementary SchooL A film on Colonial Williamsburg will be shown before a combined meet­ ing of all the historical societies in Barry County. The general public is also invited to this interesting film. One of the members of the Barry County Historical Society, Esther Walton, was honored for her efforts to preserve the history and artifacts of Barry County by the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce. The Society has been asked to assist in the selling of a book "for the use of the Legislature of the State of New York” printed in 1869. This book is similar to Michigan Manual in that it contains all legislators, post offices, county and state officials, etc., Anyone who might be interested in this book may contact Charles Harthy, 945- 9346, Quite some time ago, a discussion was held on the compilation and publication of a history of the north­ ern three-quarters of the county similar to that pub­ lished by Dr. Bernard for the Delton area. Anyone in­ terested in working on this project may contact Charles Harthy. Help is needed if this is to be done. Future meetings are planned as follows: March 20 at Hastings City Bank. Mr. Tom Neithamer with new Civil War program. April will be our banquet with time and place to be announced. The May meeting will be held in Nashville and hopefully helping cele­ brate the CentenniaL Atty. General to speak The Eaton County democrats have announced a steak dinner to be held March 20, at 7:00 p. m. at the Masonic Temple in Charlotte, The speaker and guest of honor will be Attorney General Frank Kel­ ley. . For this event, Eaton County Chairman, Al Mil­ ler, appointed the following: Dinner chairman. Doc Latchaw; finance chairman, Sid Weseman; ticket chairman, Doug Sherman and publicity chairman. Dot Gilding. The city and township chairmen will be appointed and announced in the near future. Completes nurses training During a discussion of the athletic budget, princi­ pal Leon Hbusler said that he was confident that Ma­ ple Valley will have a golf team this year. , Items on the athletic Budget included protective head gear for the baseball, football and wrestling teams. in the superintendent's report, Mr. Wolff pointed out that the Maple Valley basketball team has been assigned to the Class C state tournament at Dewitt, which will be held the first week in March. Susan Norri< named Homemaker of Tomorrow Susan E. Norris, daughter of Mr. and Ma. Harold Norris, 308 Cleveland Street, Nashville, has been named 1969 Betty Crocker Homemaker of Tomor­ row for Maple Valley High School because she achieved the highest score in a homemaking know- ' ledge and attitude test which she took along with other senior class girls in her school on December 3, it has been announced. She will be awarded a special Betty Crocker silver charm. Also, her paper has been entered with those of ocher school winners in the state in competition for the title. State Homemaker of Tomorrow. The win­ ner of this honor will be granted a 11, 500 scholar­ ship from General Mills, Inc. , sponsor of the annual program and her school will be awarded a complete set of Encyclopaedia Britannica by Encyclopaedia Britannica, Inc. The state runners-up will be grant­ ed $500 scholarships, , Mrs. Merlene Jones Black, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Jones of Route 1, Nashville,has com­ pleted three yean of professional nurses training at Bronson Methodist Hospital in Kalamazoo and will be taking part in the graduation ceremonies April 7. Mrs. Buck was graduated from Maple Valley in 1965. Through the efforts of the Nashville and Vermont­ ville Woman's Club she was able to get a scholar­ ship from the Michigan State Federation of Womar* Clubs. �Barnes Mason BACKSTREET BAROMETER bv john boughton J2 Lee Christopher tells me that he has had a real course in history since he started to grow his beard for the CentenniaL Lee's beard consists of mutton chops, sideburns that come down and connect with a beautiful, lush, reddish-brown moustache. Lee, who did not pattern his facial covering after anyone in particular, said that after it became recogniza­ ble, people would look at him and try to recall who he put them in mind of. He said they'd go through great mental gymnastics before they came up witn the fact that he looked like a former president of the United States. For the life of them, none of them could remember "which" former president. After this had happened a number of times, Lee did some research on former presidents. He got pic­ tures of every one of them and he discovered that his beard did, indeed look somewhat like one of the former presidents - Chester A. Arthur. Now, whenever someone tells him that he looks like a for­ mer president, Lee says, "Yes, Chester A. Arthur. ” But, he said, most of the people refuse to believe there ever was a president named Chester A. A r thur, Lee figures President Arthur's only claim to ' fame were ms mutton chop sideburns that connect­ ed with a moustache. I have talked with a number of my Bearded bud­ dies and we think we have discovered something a­ bout having a beard. People seem much more open in discussions with people who have beards than with clean-shaven folks. Why this is, I don't know. Per­ haps they figure that anyone with a beard is a bit of a kook and that kooks are a little more apt to talk to total strangers and perhaps be a little more recep­ tive to conversation from total strangers. Lee said that on numerous occasions strangers would walk up to him to give him this bit about "You look just like a former president." He said they also ask him, "Why don't you grow some hair on your chin?" Lee has no particular reason for not growing hair on his chin, he just didn't do it. The thing is, though, that many people do, right out of a clear sky, walk up and talk to a man with a beard. Gen­ erally, the conversation starts out with a remark a­ bout the beard. This is good and I rather enjoy it. There seems to be no middle ground about oeards either; people either like them or dislike them. Very few people say, "I can take it or leave it alone. " In the little time that I have had a beard I find that my friend's remarks are quite extreme. It is Letter to Editor Letter to the Editor, Something can be done about the youth of Nash­ ville, but it isn't a building. We've seen such good intentions literally destroyed by youth. What we need are volunteer adult leaders and helpful parents to carry out such-existing programs as 4-H, scouting and Sunday School teachers. It's the "I'm too busy’' parent that could volunteer to help the youth learn by doing something constructive. I, for one, am going to support the Centennial for the closeness it brings the "interested in doing some­ thing" people of Nashville, With some success there should be a large enough attraction to bring in money from out of town and maybe some left over for a youth project. Also let this letter commend the excellent school sports program in basketball from Sth on up. Thanks to those adults who spend many extra hours for our kids. Sincerely, Dorothy Swift.

" Just this week end I had one real nice lady tell me I looked terri­ ble, while another one remarked that I looked very distinguished. I prefer to accept the second analysis. Another thing I have discovered is that most of the men that I have talked with admit that they would like to grow one themselves; they just, don't have the nerve. As a matter of fact. I’m in that category. For years before I grew this thing, I had the desire to grow one, but I always wondered what I would say to someone who said, "Why are you growing itT "Darned if I know why!" I just would not have an answer. Because I'm vain, and I think it makes me look nicer? Probably the reason, but I'd hate to ad­ mit it. Because it makes me look distinguished? I probably think this too. Then again. I'd hate to ad­ mit it.Because I’m a kook and would just like to do something a little bit different? Again, this is areason. Of course, not a reason that one accepts. The simpliest thins to say is, "Because it's a Centennial!" You grow beards for a CentenniaL People will ac­ cept a beard for a CentenniaL I guess they won't accept it on a basis of vanity of just "What the heck, I want to grow one" attitude. At any rate, when the village centennial is over, I might just keep this. As Lee Christopher said, it is kinda fun to have people talk to you. It's kinda fun to have people ask about it. Yes, I might just keep it and if any­ one asks the reason why, I can tell them it is a Centennial - not the centennial of the town any­ more, but my own personal centennial which is coming-up awful darn fast now. Our foreign exchange student from Chile, Patri­ cio, keeps asking when it's going to snow some more. In San Felipe where he and Jorge Martinex come from, they occasionally see snow, but that's about it, it doesn't last. So tney're both real car­ ried away with just a bit of snow. Amy and I a s sured Patricio that there will be plenty of snow be­ fore he takes off for home sometime around the first of ApriL As a matter of fact, we may have it in ApriL When I stop to think of it, though, we don't have too much time for snow despite what the ground hog said. It is almost time for the sap to start running. Once the sap starts running, I think I am over the hill - no - I think I am over the humpand we are on the downhill side to summer.

We had a letter from Don Hinderliter the other day, saying he read with great interest of our plans for the Nashville Centennial celebration. He went on to say that he had plans for that occasion, and then he adds, " In case I should happen to live so long. " He is happy that his dream is about to come true. Now then, Don also added that he has admired from afar, the beards in town and he looks forward to see­ ing them close up. He sayd they'll probably be more impressive during the celebration. AHI can say to Don is that, as a loyal citizen, or perhaps ex-citizen, of Nashville, he, too, should grow a beard though I'll be darned if I know how he'll explain this to the people of Battle Creek. "AS I SEE IT” ’ written by Paul P. Chien a weekly syndicated column distributed by the Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency ( It is not a crime to be rich It is totally a wrong misconception for today's youth to associate the rich with corruption and/or age with reactionary. It is the news media's duty to bring forth some facts to change this concept So many slogans and so many people try to convince the small businessman and wage earner they will never be millionaires with today's taxation and strict governmental regulation*. In some other cases, big business is blamed for totally locking up the market There is no way for the small businessman to survive. It is true many cases support these view*. Howev­ er, on the other hand, we must realize this nation has created more millionaires from 1958 than any previous decade. We have seen the growth of Xerox^ We have seen the electronic industries become Wall Street favors. The Holiday Inn enterprise ba* a total combined figure of rooms which amount* to more than many of the so-called old, established hotel chain*. Space industries and multi-billion dollar land development ventures are being undertaken by „ young free enterprisers. During the last five years I nave attended many mutual fund conferences and institutional investment seminars where the back­ bones of each industry lay with young, energetic and wise investment advisors. In their concept, the British Empire prospered with blue chip stocks. Their prosperity rests on their past achievements. The investment philosophy today, however, must look into future potentials, No industry and no i n dividual's company can bask in their past glory. In the last ten-year period if an individual purchased $10, 000 worth of growth stock, such as IBM, Xerox, Occidental Petroleum, Litton Industry, City Invest­ ment or Clark Oil Company, the stocks have since multiplied: and investor* have been rewarded. A prime example is Xerox where a $10, 000 invest­ ment in 1958 values $1,700, 000 today. Another ex­ ample is Clark Oil where $4 a share in 1965 amounts to $48 a share today. In today'* standard it is not too difficult for a jun­ ior executive to accumulate five or ten thousand dollars in a period of three or four years. If he i n vest* properly for a period of ten to twenty year* with the proper guidance, there is no reason he had to commit a crime to have become rich. In this free society we have made millionaire* in the 1800* early 1900* and late 1900*. If our system survives, we will make many more millionaires in the year 2000. To be rich is nothing to be ashamed of pro­ vided one will utilize one** wealth to provide more jobs, build better schools and better hospitals, raise higher living standards through our free enterprise system and preserve our individual's inventive. Our nation's future will then be unlimited. The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, February 13, 1969 �8BL Self-cleaning oven range!... with 2-Unit griddle Big freezer, fast ice!

Leonard Maunder performed the one o'clock double ring ceremony in the presence of the immed­ iate family. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin B. McClelland of 527 Union St., Milford, Michigan. The bridegroom is the son of Mts. Mary Willis of Covington, Ky. Given in marriage by her father, the bride chose a street-length gown of aqua crepe with matching head piece.

John­ ny has deer feeding in his back yard like we have birds in ours. He couldn’t very well guarantee us three hunters each a deer next season, but we can at least hope that this winter not so many die of starvation. We even had good weather for the trip. Although the sun is shining a lot lately, it’s still pretty cold and a good time for preparing all the family favorite foods that warm the kitchen, smell so good, but take too long in the real hot summer. We have the best stock at the right price for the old fashioned recipes as well as the latest conven­ ience foods.

PASSBOOK SAVINGS like Maple Valley Hews. Nashville, Michigan. Thursday. February 13, 1969 �Good nutrition is vital (Hugh W. Brenneman, East Lansing, Michigan, Exe­ cutive Director Michigan State Medical Society, Michigan Association of the Professions.) foods in season, there is so little loss of nutritive value by the modern methods of preservations that canned and frozen foods can be used with confi­ dence. Thomas Edison, the inventive genius, considered careful eating as a necessary aid to a useful life. He warned against overeating—claimed it was hab­ it forming. In the opinion of some doctors and nutritionists, three square meals a day may be the ruin of you. They say children seem to know instinctively when and what to eat. They even suggest that someday man may live by "demand feeding" and the con­ ventional lunch hour will be replaced by short "food breaks." Children and teenagers often get hungry or "run out of gas" long before a meal. For them snacking is acceptable - snacks should be nu­ tritious, sort of a "junior" meal and not simply a sweet treat. Incidentally, the world’s biggest eaters aren't Americans. We rank sixth following the Irish, the Danes, the New Zealanders, the Swiss and the Aus­ tralians. And most people in the world spend half their incomes for food. In the United States it's on­ ly one-fifth. Our food likes and dislikes are often keyed to our emotion. Our eating habits are conditioned by our culture, religion, parents, and friends rather than the taste or quality of the materials consumed. We use the consumption of food as an emotional outlet too. -During emotional stress many people turn to such security foods as milk products. Disap­ pointment or frustration might lead us to seek re­ ward foods in the form of candy, hot dogs or choc­ olate. Overeating may result from anger, resent­ ment or anxiety. Slow eating is sometimes said to be an expression of dependency. Rapid eating can be a sign of fear and insecurity. Food eaten in an atmosphere of love and under­ standing is certainly accepted and digested more readily. Except for total calories, people 60 years of age and over have the same nutrient requirements of people in middle age. Caloric requirements d e crease with age because of a reduction in the me­ tabolic rate and a gradual reduction in physical ac­ tivities. The less food one consumes the more important it becomes to choose food wisely. The preferred wav to reduce weight is to cut down on the amount of food consumed. One should cut down, not cut out. Eating habits have a social aspect as well. While it is technically feasible to produce low-cost nu­ trition foods, it is not economically practical for the food industry to attempt this kind of solution to resolve the nutritional problems of the poor. Foods promoted for poor people would be consid­ ered low-prestige and no matter how nourishing, not be popular. A recurring fact revealed by dietary/urveys is the realization that certain foods are cohsioered to be "high-prestige" or "low-pres­ tige" foods. At the first opportunity, low income groups will purchase high-prestige foods even though they may be less nourishing than the foods to which they are accustomed to eating! Yes, food is a status symbol too and apparently one we live by! An old proverb states that "whatsoever was the father of disease, an ill diet was the mother. “ Good nutrition is vital to our physical and emotional well­ being. It gives us the vigor we need both to carry on, to enjoy our daily activites. No single food will provide all of the nutrients needed. Variety, in the idett is ' the ’ surest way to prop­ nourishment.' Excessive dependence on even such <er _____ ’’ . a good food as milk can interfere with achieving an adequate diet. In" In general, what is good food for the businessman is good food for the athlete. No magic foods can produce super power or agility. The same meat, milk, eggs, vegetables, fruits, whole grain breads and cereals are fundamental to the health of every person. Every meal is important, one no less than the other. Good homemakers keep trying different foodsand methods of preparation in order to keep the family from being bored. There is nothing sacred about the conventional American breakfast of juice, toast, eggs, cereal or pancakes, for example. Simple sandwiches may be a welcome change, or a small steak or chop.

President Harold Christensen presided at the meeting. Local representatives of the Southern Michigan Pony Trotting Association were present. They spoke of tneir desire to use the old race track behind Main Street for holding races this summer by their organ­ ization. The Council decided they would draw up a lease in regard to this project and it will be of­ ficially voted on during a later meeting. In the dis­ cussion of the representatives, they stated they hop­ ed to hold pony trotting races at this time, possibly on Friday evenings during the summer. Jim Erwin withdrew his request for rezoning his lots on South Main Street. The decision regardinp this rezoning was to be made by the Council mem­ bers at this meeting. The Village Council officially accepted Don Langham's resignation as Police Chief. They also appointed Kendal Wilcox of Route 3, Hastings as the new Acting Chief of Police.

S. have had a couple of very fine films that they have shown, and they hope to have more. Saturday night's show was "The Mouse that Roared" ,4nd was very good. The unfor­ tunate thing about the showing though was that so few showeo up for it. Of course, it was on Saturday night and few people knew about it, but the film was well worth while. Amy and I went over to East Lansing to see "Lion in Winter” which is a most unusual film. This one I would recommend very highly. Patricio, our exchange student from Chile, gave a little talk to the Lions Club on Monday night. These kids are fine representatives of their country and are doing a good job of being ambassadors while they are here. I nope our boys and girls would do as good a job if they were in Cnile. These last few evenings the sun has been bright way past six o'clock and in the morning the birds are singing just like spring is coming back to our land. This is always a good time of year, when the sap starts to run and young men's fancies turn to thoughts of love. Young girl’s fancies too, I guess. Because Michigan voted not to go along with the daylight savings people this year, we are going to have sunset a bit earlier and dawn a bit earlier too. One nice thing about it is that we will be able to see the late show before it is too late to see it. Johnny Carson will come on at 10:30 which will give some of us early to-bedders a chance to see his Siow. Some of us might even be able to stay up late enough to see the late-late movie -- whatever that is. The drive-in movie people will be glad about the decision to stick to standard time. My daughter, while discussing guns and fast draws, came out with an observation which never occurred to me. You never see a left handed cowboy. Now that I think of it, I guess I never have. An exhibit of photographs by John Boughton, ed­ itor of the Maple Valley News, will be on display at Jordan Hall at Northwood Institute, Midland, Michigan, during the month of February.

' He worked with Loren Kerst, Gilmore Art Cen­ ter photographer and artist in Kalamazoo, on cre­ ative photography. He later worked with Douglass Lyttle, considered one of Michigan’s leading cre­ ative photographers. The exhibit is open to the public.

BUILDING BATTLE" Plans to build a new state Capitol could touch off a bigger political battle than the debate 122 years ago over moving the seat of government from De­ troit to Laming. Legislators on both sides are taking firm stands, ... and as the plan unfolds it seems certain that others who want to retain the present Capitol, or a r e a gainst a $50 million expense for a new one, will be drawn in. - . • After two years of closed-door huddling over the design, the joint legislative capital outlay commit­ tee recently unveiled the new Capitol plan. Designee by the Detroit architectural firm of Smith, Hinctnnan and Grylls Associates, it con­ templates a seven-level, four-building structure covering the equivalent of four city blocks. legislative, judicial and executive buildings would form a "troika" atop a massive all-purpose of­ fice structure four blocks west of the present CapitoL Total space would be 850,000 square feet. There would be no traditional dome but 185-foot tower with a glass- enclosed observation deck at the top would jut from a plaza area. "We rejected the historical, traditional concept of placing the functions of government under a class­ ical dome as outmoded and not suited to our times."

John Faust and family of Grand Ledge called on Calista Faust Sunday. said Sigmund F. Blum, one of the designers. "Michigan is a progresive, dynamic state. The people richly deserve a Capitol which expresses those qualities. " The legislative building, with House and Senate chambers akin to the United Nations General Assem­ bly Room, would be a large, shoe-box shaped struc­ ture, with cylindrical spires breaking a smooth out­ side design at the four cornets. The judicial and executive buildings would be smaller adaptations of this basic design with the all­ purpose building spreading under all tne structure like a massive underground control center. Massive steps on each side of the project, describ­ ed by the architects as " monumental stairs," would rise from the basic plaza level, crossing the interior courtyard to reach an upper plaza on which the sep­ arate structures for the Legislature, executive office and Supreme Court would stand. The upper levels would include: Senate and House chambers and galleries; legis­ lative committee rooms, caucus rooms and service facilities; and an individual office suite for each legislator. s . A courtroom for the Supreme Court, offices suites for each justice, and offices and other facilities for court personnel The Governor's private office and ceremonial re­ . ception room, and offices and other work space for the entire executive office staff, including the Bur­ eau of the Budget and other units of the Governor's office. , _ • The buildings would be framed in reinforced con­ crete with an exterior of polished granite. There would be no windows in the upper structures. Director A. N. Langius of the State Building Di­ vision estimated it would take up to five years to construct the complex. He said the buildings would contain the most up-to-date heating, lighting, ven­ tilating, air-conditioning and communications sys­ tems, including closed-circuit television. The all­ purpose building would include a large auditorium and cafeteria and 20 elevators for easy access to the upperleveL The first Michigan Capitol was located at Gris­ wold, State and Shelby Streets in Detroit. In 1847 state government was moved to Lansing following a stormy legislative session. The present Capitol was opened in 1878. Opposition is expected from forces who want to preserve the 91-year-old Capitol for historical pur­ poses. Sen. Thomas L. Brown, R-Lansing. is expected to lead the f i ght against construction of the pro­ posed plan. He said the present building could be rebuilt and enlarged for half the money needed for a new structure. One thing that everybody agrees on is the deter­ iorating condition of the present statehouse. Jum­ bled wiring, rickety elevators and dingy corridors abound. A section of the fourth floor has been condemned by the State Fire Marshall, yet it is crammed with legislative offices from which escape would be dif­ ficult.

If you think it's darker in the mornings nowadays and lighter in the afternoons, you're right. Hazel Losh, professor of astronomy at the Univer­ sity of Michigan, notes that February signals a per­ iod of transition from winter to spring. At this time of the year the sun is ahead of our clocks. The sun is not a steady timekeeper; it runs slow and fast, alternately loitering and then forging ahead. The sun moves in a regular and predictable fash­ ion; of course, but civi lization has to adopt its av­ erage, speed rather than its actual speed as a basis for clocks. "We are in a season now when the sun is moving fastest eastward along the ecliptic, delaying its ris­ ing and setting as timed by the sun's average speed," Prof. Losh says. • One may think of the two suns--average and real as men running a race. The mean or average sun maintains a steady pace all the way aroundthe year while the real sun falls behind and then puts on a ’"ust of speed. In February, our mean-time clocks are ahead of the sun by as much as 14 minutes. According to Prof. Losh, considering the correc­ tion for the standard time belt, the net result is that our afternoons are an hour and a half longer than our mornings. The sun does not cross the meridian—the midway point of its daily path—at noon. Instead it is some - 50 minutes late. Prof. Losh notes that the bright planets are still with us. On January 26, Venus reached its greatest eastern angular distance from the sun and through the telescope appeared at first-quarter phase like the moon. Since then, it has been dropping back toward the sun, showing the crescent phase, with the interval ■ of its setting after the sun growing less and less. " During the revolution of Venus around the sun, it displays all phases just as the moon does," Prof. Losh writes. Since the sunset is coming later and later each evening, the setting of Venus will also occur later and later during the month. Prof. Losh says Saturn is the bright object up to the left of Venus. On February 19, the narrow cres­ cent moon will pass close to these planets—two degress south of Venus and five degrees nonh of Sa­ I turn. Look for them in the southeastern twilight coupled with the earthshine clearly visible oh the moon. Jupiter is rising almost due east around 9 p. m. Ju­ piter is bright, but it has only one-tenth the brilli­ ancy of Venus. Mars follows Jupiter by about four hours. The bright object in the southern sky is not a planet. According to Prof. Losh, Siris, the bright­ est of all stars, is shining almost directly south, about one third of the way up from the horizon.

Shaneck, whose trailer home was located on the farm of his father, Otto Shaneck Sr., said the oil space heater in the trailer seemed to explode, en­ gulfing the entire dwelling in flames. The structure was completely destroyea with all of its contents. No one was injured in the fire. It was a $1000. 00 loss with no insurance. The Nashville Fire Department was summoned about 9<45 but despite their immediate response to the alarm, the trailer and its contents had been consumed by the flames by the time they arrived on the scene. Will distribute new area phone directories Olivet College, which is observing its 125th An­ niversary this year, will be featured on the covers of the new Charlotte area telephone directories. Russell H. Engelhardt, area manager for the Mich­ igan Bell Telephone Company, said distribution of some 13,000 directories will begin Saturday, March one. The directories will be delivered in Charlotte, Mulliken, Olivet and Vermontville. A sticker on the new directory indicates that all Vermontville-Nashville phone numbers are chang­ ing on March 30, Engelhardt said. The front cover of the area directory shows the Charles Stewart Mott Academic Center at Olivet, Engelhardt said. Portrayed on the back cover is the tower of the historic Burrage Hall Library, a famil­ iar campus scene. Members of the Maple Valley Jaycee Auxiliary will join the other Jaycee Auxiliaries in Michigan in their attempt to collect Betty Crocker coupons and perhaps purchase a Kidney machine that will save the life of a Michigan victim of kidney fail­ ure. The 170 auxiliaries are attempting to collect 600,000 Betty Crocker coupons by June of 1970. If they do this, the General Mills company has a­ greed to reimburse the Jaycettes $3,000 for the machine. The Jaycee organizations have a statewide proj­ ect to raise funds for kidney machine,- "Operation Purchase. " The Jaycees in the Blue Water area suc­ cessfully raised $3,000 last year to purchase an ar­ tificial kidney for a 47-year old St. Clair father of three. Several artificial kidney centers in Michigan are now training victims of kidney failure to treat themselves on machines installed in their own homes. Once the kidneys fail to function, a pa­ tient must have regular treatment on a kidney ma­ chine in order to survive. __ The cost of treatment in a hospital is $10,000 to $15,000 per year, while home treatment costs $3,000 to $5, 000 annually. All members of the Jaycee Auxiliary will collect the coupons. Those persons having coupons they wish to give may contact a Jaycee Auxiliary mem­ ber. Coupons may also be left at Makers and The Security National Bank. | Vermontville plans for busy syrup season Mrs. Amos (Joyce) Haigh is heading the Vermont­ ville Maple Syrup Festival corporation as president for 1969.

One half-gallon, $4.25; quart, $2.50 and $1. 60 per pint. �.V*' BILL KJERGAARD MIKE APPELMAN BACKSTREET MAYNARD PERRY ARTHUR DRAKE LOREN DINGMAN LEE CHRISTOPHER BAROMETER That time is here again... The buckets are hung on the trees with care and spring seems to be here officially. Of course we could have a bit more snow before it-comes time to get the old golf clubs out and start thinking about picnics and swimming and all kinds of groovie things like that. But once the buckets are on the trees and the steam starts to rise out of the roof of the sugar shanty, the warm weath­ er can not be far behind. Everyone says that this is just the kind of weather that makes the sap flow. Nice warm days with a sharp freeze in the night. A couple of weeks like this and we should have a good season. We went up to Charlevoix over the weekend. We wanted to show Patricio what the northern part of the stare looks like and we wanted him to see some snow and skiing action. He did see some of those things too. While they don’t have what they think of as a lot of snow, they sure have a lot more than we do down here. We went out on the beach where Patricio found an old broken sled and went sliding down the dunes with it. He had a ball... Then after seeing a whole weekend full of new things we came back to Nashville to see the buckets on the trees. This was something else new for Pato. There seems to be quite a few people off to the sunny south right about now, some for quick crips and others for longer stays. We had a postcard from Gladys and Ralph Richardson from Tombstone. Arizona, and I understand they are really having a fine trip. Of course, we miss seeing Harry Johnson next door here - ne and his wife are off on a crip to Florida. Also visiting in Florida and'other parts south are Rose and Al Smith, Gale and Alice Keihl, Doc White; Wayne and Ada Skedgell and three girls took a quick trip down. Wilma DeCamp is back af­ ter a trip south; Jerry and Loren Dingman and family enjoyed a trip south. The beards which adorn the Barometer this week are just a start of what is to come. I intend to get around in the next few weeks and to get pictures of all the unusual beards in town. As I say... this is just a start. You will notice one fellow who looks like Chester A. Arthur, a couple who look like riv­ erboat gamblers, a CoL Sanders, or Robert E. Lee and some who look like I don’t know what. It is a lot of fun though, and I get a kick out of the whole thing. The pictures were taken at a Centennial meeting the other day. In addition to the pictures of the men, I got a lot of good ones of the women of the town all dressed up in their old time dresses. We will be running them fjon time to time and from now till the whole Centennial celebration is over. Another sure sign of spring is the chuck holes to be found in some of the roads. We are lucky . here in Nashville, though. Our streets are better than most. As a matter of fact. I don’t know of any chuck holes in Nashville's streets. Potterville though—that is a different thing. They have some that jar vour teeth when you hit them. The other day a fellow broke a driveshaft when he hit one of their holes in the road. HAROLD CHRISTENSEN Last Friday Mrs. Helen Hecker called the News office to identify the two pictures we had in last week’s paper. In the top picture, the buggy with three men show Dale Navue, the driver, who later was a bar­ ber in Nashville, in the shop where Staup's Barber Shop is now located. To hi right is Clair (Ab) Ma­ son, printer and the third man is Ray Erland. He and his father ran a lunch and poolroom. In the picture of the float is Emmitt Everett re­ altor and his two daughters, Marilyn and Madelaine and they lived where Mrs. Mary Holman now lives. The float was in the homecoming parade around 1912. I understand there was a good turn-out a week ago at the Open House in the Vermontville Library. This was to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Vermontville Public Library, accord­ ing to Mildred Allen, Librarian. We offer our con­ gratulations and wish them another successful 20 years. . MM* The Vermontville firemen must hold somewhat of a record. Last Saturday they held their 46th an­ nual Firemen's Dance in the Opera House. Dale , Briggs said the turn-out was good and everyone ap­ peared to have a good time. They use the money obtained from these dances to help them with their various projects and to help buy needed equipment.

' "SLICE HOUSE" A proposed constitutional amendment to reduce the size of the Michigan House of Representatives and revamp the state's legislative reapportionment machinery has been sub-nltted to state lawmakers. Understandably, it races an uphill struggle. Key provisions include restructuring the controveuial state apportionment commission and desig­ nating the State Court of Appeals as an arbiter o f hassles which are sure to develop. The measure was sponsored by 16 Republicansand three Democrats. It takes a two-thirds vote of both chambers to get the proposal on the general elec- , tion ballot. Under the amendment, House membenhip would ■ be limited to four times the number of Congressmen from Michigan. This would put the House total at 76 instead of the present 110 as Michigan has 19 US Representatives. Senate membenhip would be continued at 38, though any increase in congressional representation would boost the number of senatorial districts. The apportionment commission, the unit which must realign the Legislature after every federal cen­ sus, would be appointed-by the Governor and Sec­ retary of State rather than the political parties. The partisan breakdown, though, would continue at four : Democrats and four Republicans. Michigan’s 1963 constitution created the first commission. Its initial effort .at reapportioning the Legislature resulted in a deadlock, and the State Supreme Court ended up doing the job. The proposed amendment, sponsored chiefly by Senate Majority Leader Emil Lockwood, would pro­ vide that the Court of Appeals would reapportion fthe Legislature if the commission failed to do so. And if the Appellate Court could not agrea on ... - proposals within 60. calendar days, then the Supreme BY ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Court would again inherit the task. If the constitutional revision were 'approved by the people, the first reapportionment under it would take place in 1974, based on the 1970 cen­ sus. Lawmaker districts would be as "equal in popu­ lation as practicable,” with "due consideration" to county lines, community interest and compactness of territory. SenatoB would still be elected for four yean and Representatives for two years. A stormy battle over the amendment is certain in the House, where members frown on efforts to cut their numbers. NEW HOME - MAYBE Gov. William G. Milliken might become the first Michigan chief executive to live in an official state-supplied mansion. Lansing trucking executive Howard Sober has of­ fered his palatial residence overlooking the Grand River to the state fnee of charge, and the 'Senate and House indicate they’ll gladly accept the gift. The home itself is valued between $200,000 and $400,000. It features motorized drapes, servants’ quartea, a four-car garage and hideaway bar. There are 13 rooms arid five bathrooms. A special committee of former governors will raise funds to furnish the structure. It was also announced that plans are under way to construct a Governor’s mansion in the Capitol Complex in downtown Lansing. But legislative leaden say groundbreaking ceremonies are still seven to ten yean away. The price tag cou’d go as high as $1 million. , Since statehood 132 years ago, Michigan has ”*?. *lth°ut an official residence for the Governor. has been living in a $180 per month twoapartment in Lansing. • ■■■•• The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, February 27. 1969 �VFW DANCE THORNAPPLE V.

The Barry County Board of Supervisors it Tues­ day's meeting approved contract bids from two am­ bulance service operators in the area to run until June 1. 1972. ■ • Present ambulance contracts expire Saturday, March 1, and competitive bids for the service were let by supervisors last month. Bidders were allowed to bid on any or all of the five zones set up w it h the county. After a two-hour closed session Tuesday, mem­ bers of the board's finance and" health committees reviewed bids submitted by five ambulance ser­ vices. Contracts with the Central Ambulance Service of Hastings at a cost of $55, 481, were approved upon recommendation of the committee. Also given a contract was Henton-Smitb Ambulance Service of Delton at a cost of $37, 375 for the 39-month per­ iod.

The KNOW YOUR MICHIGAN LAW Many persons entitled to property tax exemptions By Attorney General Frank. J. Kelley Many persons in the state ot Michigan are entit­ led to a partial exemption of their homes from property taxation. They may qualify for a home­ stead tax exemption as a senior citizen, service­ man. disabled veteran, widow of a veteran, or blind person. Atty. General to speak Plans are rapidly getting under way by the Eaton County Democrats for the Frank Kelley Dinner. Doc Lathchaw, dinner chairman, announced the following appointments: Table decorations, Kath­ ryn Bosworth and Jerry Latchaw; Jerry Chris, presi<fent of the Eaton County Democratic Club will be in charge of seating arrangements. The following people are ticket chairmen: Odean Bradley, Benton Township; Delta Township, is Ben Hall, Al Verhaeghe, Bob Felzke, Clarence Sklapsky, Arlene Groh and Ed Brown; Mr. and Mrs. Bill Stickles and Cedric Root, Chester Township; Betty Sherman in Carmel Township; Willey Bean and Ralph Shepard in Grand Ledge; Dick Crist, Mulliken; Claude Burton, Bellevue; Mrs. Jack Kel­ ley and Warren Powers, Olivet; Jody Perkins, Eaton Rapids; Kate Bosworth, Vermontville; Jerry Lat­ chaw, Walton Township and in Charlotte the chair­ men are Sid Weseman, Mr. and Mrs. Doug Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Al Miller and Dot Gilding. The din­ ner will be catered by Mrs. Millie Martin and her staff at the Masonic Temple on March 20th at 7 p. m. with a donation of $3. 00 per ticket. EXPERT TUNE-UPS LET US GIVE IT THAT LIKE NEW TOUCH • WHEEL BALANCING • BRAKE SERVICE WOODARD’S MOBIL SERVICE Nashville Ph. 0L3-6003 annual fee of $17.184 will be paid quarterly. Zones 3 and 4, which includes Orangeville, Hope, Prairieville, Barry, Baltimore, Johnstown and As­ syria townships, at an annual cost of $11,500 will be serviced by Henton-Smith Ambulance Service of Delton. The total cost per year of $28, 684 is a saving to the county of approximately $32,000 over last year's contract of $61,000. Other bids rejected by the board were submitted by the Girrbach Ambulance firm of Hastings for $35,000 per year, the Bebler Ambulance Service of Middleville for $10,000 and the Maple Grove A mbulance Service at $5, 500 per year. The man provisions of the new contract covering ambulance service are that the ambulance opera­ ton charge the users of the service a minimum of $30 a call and $1 per loaded mile. Finance committee chairman, Monty Bennett, said, "The board's decision to set a minimum charge of $30 represents our feeling that persons us­ ing ambulance service should assume a greater share of the cost, rather than the entire county pop­ ulation. The $30 minimum is within the limit covered by Medicare and Medicaid. " Bennett stated further that the new contracts ful­ fill the county's obligation to provide ambulance service; however, it is not the county board's intent to discoutage anyone from operating an ambulance in Barry County, he said. Vicki Lee Rawson and Robert Villarreal were married in the North Logan Presbyterian Church in Lansing. After a short wedding trip to Northern Michigan, they will go to housekeeping near Com­ stock Park, Lansing. He works at Motor Wheel in Lansing, and she is a nurse at St. Lawrence Hospital.

Smith of Bellevue visited Mt. and Mrs. Emmett Potts last Thursday. He has returned home from a year's service in Vietnam. Property taxation is an annual process. All home­ stead tax exemptions must be claimed annually in January, February, or the first week in March. Fail­ ure to secure from the assessing officer the exemp­ tion during the period mentioned will result in a loss of the tax exemption for that year. Consequent­ ly, it is most important that persons eligible for a homestead exemption should not omit the execu­ tion and filing or the annual claim. The necessary forms and instructions for this purpose may be o b tained from their local assessors. Any homestead which is eligible for partial tax exemption on December 31 of any year will remain eligible for the immediately succeeding year. This is true, even if the senior citizen, serviceman, blind person, etc., sells the property in January or February of the calendar year, to a person who is not eligible for any homestead exemption. While the purchaser of the particular homestead receives the benefit of a tax reduction, his reduced prop­ erty tax burden for that year very well may affect the amount that he is willing to pay for the proper­ tyTherefore, a person entitled to a homestead tax exemption on December 31 should claim it, even though he sells the property in January or February. Mn Wiessner, representing the Michigan Depart­ ment of Treasury, Revenue Division, will be at the Hastings County Building on February 28 and March 28, 1969 for the purpose of assisting taxpayers in the preparation of their Michigan income tax and intangibles tax returns. The nours are 9 a. m. to 12 noon and 1 p. m. to 4 p. m. Under provisions of Act 281, P. A. of 1967, (Michigan Income Tax) any person from whom a greater amount has been withheld than is owed will receive a refund. A return will have to be filed to receive any refund. Early filing will expedite early refunds. Most persons who are required to file a Federal income tax return will be required to file a Michi­ gan income tax return. If a married couple files a joint return for Federal income tax, a joint return must be filed for Michigan income tax purposes. The total number of exemptions must agree with the total number of exemptions claimed on the Fed­ eral tax return. The individual may use either one of two forms, ..the MI-1040 or MI-1040A. Any individual desiring to take a tax credit for property taxes paid on homestead, taxes in gross rent of a home stead, city income taxes or contributions to Mictugan colleges and universities will be required to use the MI­ 1040. A properly prepared and signed certificate of rent paid for homestead (Schedule MI-1040G) will have to be attached to the MI-1040 by any taxpay­ er who desires and is entitled to take advantage of the provisions for a tax credit on taxes in the gross rent of a homestead. Anyone who anticipates owing Michigan income tax in excess of $100. 00 for 1969, which is over and above amounts withheld, is required to file a declaration of estimated Michigan income tax.

During the business meeting, Mrs. Sandbrook conducted discussion about the April Tea for the Senior girls which will be held in conjunctionwith the Vermontville Woman’s Club. It was voted that all expenses incurred in regard to the tea for the girls should be covered by the club and only the actual expense of the refreshments furnished by the tea committee. Three members of the club attended the meeting *in their Centennial costumes. Discussion was held in regard to the activity of the club for Centennial plans. Mrs. Hilda Baas reported on rhe Centennial Book and it was suggested that she present a bill to the club in regard to travel expenses she has had working on the book.

Father Gury is well-known in this area. During the past year, he participated in the Pro­ testant-Catholic dialogue at the former Evangelical United Brethren Church and presented a program at St. Cyril's Church showing slides of his trip to Rome. He has pastored the same church for most of his ministry, serving for 35 years at his present charge. He is often heard over Station WBCH. Pastor Gury will retire next month after a lifetime of successful service. This service will be held Sunday, March 2, at 7:30 p. m. at the United Methodist Church on Phil­ lips. The host churches invite the community to worship with them then and also use this as a means to bid farewell to Father Gury as he leaves the area.

Clark Wooten from the Grand Rapids School • gretafirster Mrs. Shelton of Battle Creek sent us eleven cop­ ies of great paintings by Renoir. We have them on our bulletin board. Thanks, Mrs. Shelton. Our board quotation is "The things that the flag stands for were created by the experiences of a great people. Everything that it stands for was written by their lives. The flag is the embodiment, not of sentiment, but of history. It represents the experi­ ences made by men and women, the experiences of those who do and live under that flag.' Woodrow Wilson. It is tax time. It is gripe and groan time. It was Justice Oliver WendelTHolmes who said, "Taxes are what we pay for civilized society. * It might be interesting to sit down and list all the things you get for the taxes you pay. The Seniors have just completed the chapter on taxes. We have two new records added to our depart­ ment. One is the Dred Scott Decision and John Brown’s Last Speech. The second record is The New Freedom, Woodrow Wilson and Kennedy's Inaugur­ al Address.

The four cornerstones of our Foreign Policy are 1796 no alliances, 1823 - Monroe Doctrine, 1872 - Im­ perialism, 1890 - Pan American Union. Alyce Bosworth and Dianne Musser brought sever­ al film strips on the governments and trade in West­ ern Europe. Both geography classes enjoyed the pic­ tures. The American Observer had a long article on Red China. A few interesting facts were: The Com­ munist Party of Red China rules one fourth of the world's people. Red China asked for an opening of ulks with US in Warsaw. Poland, but this week suddenly withdrew. Population is 750 million Chin­ ese people. The cultural Revolution was a flop. The 3 rs are discouraged in schooL Agricultural _ methods are stressed. Black markets have caused high prices. Nixon says he can see no reason for recognizing Red China.

Call Helen FOR AN APPOINTMENT TODA^. 653-3901 Eaton ladies attend Humane Society meeting Mis. Ozelma Shance of Potterville; president of the Eaton County Humane Society and Mr*.Paulita Lisle of Potterville, vice-president, attended the annual meeting of the Ingham County Humane Society at the Civic Center in Lansing, February fifteenth. Mrs. Shelby Race of Lansing, president of Ing­ ham County Humane Society, reported that the expense of running the animal shelter last year was over 54 thousand dollars. The society raised nearly 30 thousand by Christmas appeal letters, tag days, donations, membenhip and rummage sales. The shelter handled over 18 thousand ani­ mals. Ingham County has a dog warden, also a town­ ship warden, a city warden and an East Lansing warden. The society hires three men and three women to care for the kennels at the shelter. Supervison Dorr Eckhart of Aurelius, Ted Fay of Stockbridge, and Gerald Ernst of Lansing were present. Mr. Eckhart told that Dean S. Trwby, DVM, and John Quinn, DVM from the Michigan Animal Control Center, went with the three super­ visors to see the Kalamazoo Animal shelter which cost 150 thousand dollars. Because this entire area is growing so fast, they decided that it would be a waste of money to add a 20 thousand dollar wing to the present snelter, which would only give temporary relief, and pro­ posed that it would be cheaper in the long run to build a new shelter for 100 thousand dollars. The law states that a dog Census may be taken yearly, but since incorrect information is receiv­ ed, tne supervisors think it is a waste of money. They would like to have a law that the owner of a dog without a license would be given a sum­ mons at once. At present, high school boys are taking a census in part of the county. Mayor Max Murningham of Lansing, presented Mrs. Race with a 25-year-pin, as appreciation for her years of service to tne organization, and an engraved golden key to the city, on behalf of the City of Lansing.

Meeting planned to discuss Adult Clinic The Committee for the Barry Extension Unit of the Kalamazoo Child Guidance Clinic met M o n day evening. They were greeted with the enthusi­ astic news that an Adult Clinic will begin operation in Hastings by the last of March. The Adult Clinic will operate in a manner simi­ lar to the Child Guidance Clinic. Barry County will have the services, one day a week, of a psychia trist, psychologist, a social worker and a secretory. They will use the facilities at the Child Guidance Clinic at 145 E. State Street, Hastings. Finan­ cially, the Clinic will be started with no addition­ al cost to Barry County. However, if the Clinic is successful and is to continue operation, it will be necessary for the Clinic to be partially financed by County funds. The Adult Clinic will accept referrals by com­ munity agencies, physicians, lawyers, members of the clergy, relatives, friends and self. Persons seek­ ing services should be 17 years of age and have written consent by one of their legal guardians un­ til they are 21. After 21, there is no conditional acceptance. The Clinic will serve as a treatment center and also offer follow-up care after dismissal from men­ tal hospitals. Eventually it is hoped that preventive care may be offered. Treatment is given only to people who are desirous of treatmeni. On Thursday, March 13, at 8:00 p. m., room 182, at the Hastings High School, Dr. Cyril J.

Sunday, March 30, by the Michi­ gan Bell Telephone Company. Russell H. Engelhardt, area manager for Michi­ gan Bell, said the changeover to the new system will include telephone number changes for customers in both communities,. The 1, 086 customers in Nash­ ville will receive new numbers beginning with the prefix--852. The new prefix for Vermontville’s 619 customers will be 726. Deadline near for return ing fIouride cards Saturday, March 15, is the deadline for returning cards with $2.00 for the Flouride Clinic to be held next summer. Money and cards can be returned to the school or to the area chairmen, Mrs. Gene Matet, Mrs. Wm. Swift or Mrs. Dale Maurer, all of Route 2, Nash­ ville. The Clinic consists of a dental inspection, clean­ ing of the teeth and four treatments of sodium flour­ ide. Those eligible are pre-schoolers, second grad­ ers, 5th graders and 8th graders. Father Moeggenberg is next Lenten speaker The Reverend Father Raymond Moeggenberg, pas­ tor of the St. Cyril's Roman Catholic Church in Nashville, will be the speaker for this Sunday eve­ ning's Lenten service sponsored by the Nashville Unlted Methodist Churches. Father Moeggenberg is well-known in this area for his work in the commun­ ity and for his ecumenical concern. This service is the third of a series and will be held Sunday, March 9 at 7:30 p. m. at the United Methodist Church on Phillips. Speakers each Sunday evening represent a different denomination, with the hope that a sense of greater unity basic to the Easter message will be felt. The host churches wel­ come everyone to share these services with them. Starting March 30, Vermontville customers also will receive Direct Distance Dialing service. Nash­ ville customers already can dial their own long dis­ tance calls. Engelhardt said both communities will be in the 517 area. Nashville is now in the 616 area. Touch-Tone pushbutton service also will be avail­ able in both communities. With Touch-Tone, call­ ers can tap out numbers on pushbuttons instead of twirling conventional dials. "The main advantage of the new, optional ser­ vice is speed, ” said Engelhardt. "With pushbutton phones, callers can tap out numbers in two to five seconds. Normal dialing time requires eight to 14 seconds. " The new dial office, which replaces separate community dial offices, is located at the corner of Mason and Nashville roads in Vermontville Town­ ship, halfway between Nashville and Vermontville. Starting March 30, Nashville and Vermontville phone users will need to dial all seven digits of a number on local calls, Engelhardt said. On calls outside the local calling area, callers in both e x changes will dial the numeral "1" first. Nashville callers now dial 112 to gain access to the nation­ wide dialing network, and Vermontville customers dial Operator for long distance connections. Engelhardt said customers in both communities will receive dial cards containing their new phone numbers approximately 10 days prior to the change­ over. Four-party service will be eliminated after the changeover, he said. Four-party customers have been offered a choice of one-and-two-party ser­ Vice. Coin telephones will be changed from a post-pay to a pre-pay basis. Payphone userswill deposit coins before dialing numbets. New phone numbers will be listed in the 1969 di­ rectories, which will be distributed earlier in the month. Effective March 30, customers in Nashville, Ver­ montville, Charlotte and Eaton Rapids will call Michi igan Bell's business office in Jackson for information concerning their telephone service. The number is 1-789-9911. There is no charge. Engelhardt urged Nashville and Vermontville cus­ tomers to note new numbers for their fire depart • ments.

The stock answer I give these people is that I have grown the bush for a centennial. I then add -- my own personal centennial. This used to be funny, at I thought it was, right up to Sunday. Now for some reason, the answer no longer strikes me as a big laugh. The reason being that I have just come one year closer to my own personal centennial. Now that I am well on my way to being a hundred yean old, the'prospect no longer seems so comic. The closer the town comes to its centennial though, the more fun seems to be generated. People all o­ ver town are getting into the spirit of the thing and by the time the actual celebration comes off, every­ one in town will'be going at it great guns. March came in like a lamb this year... At least it didn't come in with a snow storm and all kinds of winter jazz like that. I hope this doesn't mean the month is going to go out like a lion. Personally, I would be nappy to see the spring come through right now. These bright sunshinny mornings with the birds singing are just my cup of tea. The Chinese New Year has just come and gone. I think we are in the year of the rooster. At least that sounds logical. . Amy and I went to a Chinese New Years party last week. Our friends, the Chiens have invited us to such a dinner every year since we have known them. I look forward all year to going to one of the Chierik New Years dinners. Well anyway, we went to this dinner and at the party were a number of Chinese. One of the guests asked Mrs. Chien if I was one of the Chinese. She thought the beard made me look Chinese. Mrs. Chien had to admit that I do look a bit oriental with the beard. She was also kind enough to say I looked like a scholar. Chinese scholars have beards. It looked for a while there as if we were not go­ ing to have any baseball this year. The poor •base­ ball players were out on strike for a better pension plan. With what most of them make in their life­ times it is hard to know why they have to have a pension plan at all. Most players not only make a darn good yearly pay, but they have been known to invest it wisely in all kinds of businesses that should be able to provide for their old age. It seems quite a shame that those who have the most while they are working and therefore should need less in the way of old age benefits are the ones who get the most in the way of benefits. This seems to be the way life is.... Them that has gets. Last Friday I had lunch with my.two sisters, just the three of us, and while we sat there having a rather leisurely lunch, we remarked that this was the first time in many years that we had been alone together, without the in-laws. It gave us time to talk a bit about family things —nothing important, but just things that only the three of us would be the least interested in. We all agreed that this was good for us and that we should do it again soon. As a matter of fact, I rather enjoy being alone with my two brothers-in-law. The three of us often sit and talk without the women and realize the same benefits. It is also good to be alone from time-to-time. So much of our life is spent in close contact with peo­ ple, always communicating, that it is good now and then to get off alone, with no one else any­ where near and just think, dream or perhaps just sit. I sometimes think we complicate our lives with the necessity of dealing with someone else constantly. I sometimes think that part of the difficulty with life today is that it is too full of noises -- talking, motors, dryers, dishwashers, cars, etc., and that it might be real restful to be able to ge* off alone in the woods somewhere, where there isn't another per­ son Within miles and just think... Nice work, if you can get it... BY ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY ’ MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION ri*. • "J a - x SUGGESTS SOLUTIONS A detailed prescription for curing the state's ur­ ban malaise is set forth by the Michigan Welfare League. The 40-page document calls for a mixed bag of tax law revisions, expanded housing authority loans, creation of so-called new towns, and establishment of a state urban affairs department. The league, a statewide citizens' organization, said the proposals are based on a 10-month study of Michigan's housing and urban ills. "The housing situation for low and moderate in­ come persons remains one of the most critical prob­ lems facing Michigan today," said Detroit attorney George E. Bushnell Jr., chairman of a special League study committee. GREAT NEED Immediate need for a minimum of 150,000 hous­ ing units exists in Michigan, believes the League, including 100, 000 in Detroit, the state's largest city, by far. It said the state has been building homes for low income families at the rate of 25,000 per year, and this is woefully inadequate. Studies by other organizations after the 1967 D e troit riot underscored the urgent need for accelerated housing programs in the Motor City. The study showed that other Michigan cities, Lan­ sing, Flint, Saginaw and Grand Rapids likewise have an*acute shortage of decent housing available for low-income persons." TOUGH PROBLEM Housing that can be described as safe, sanitary and decent in Detroit and elsewhere is "either too costly for them to afford, or unavailable to them be­ cause of discriminatory housing practices, ” the League added. "Research by our university social scientists can help develop cheaper and quicker methods and ma­ terials for building housing, ” it stated.

Entered at the Post Office at Nashville, Michigan Barry County, as Second Class Matter SUBSCRIPTION RATES Barry &. Eaton Counties $3. 00 per year Elsewhere in United States $3. 50 per year EDITOR & PUBLISHERS John and Amy Boughton Here are the major ingredients of the League's plan for solving the state's urban housing problems: Revise and update the Michigan Housing Code to make it more uniform and useful, especi­ ally as regards availability of funds. Establish "new towns" outside the big city ghetto areas to permit development of self­ contained communities with thousands of housing units for families of all income levels. Start a "land bank" program whereby the state would acquire parcels of property and develop them for housing purposes. Create a state department of urban affairs to make available tne environment of human ser­ vices necessary for the adequate function of families in low-income housing. Revamp state tax laws to aid in housing reha­ bilitation projects. Increase the bonding power of local housing authorities so they can build more housing un­ its. "Michigan's immediate and long-range hous­ ing needs are massive," the League said. "They can be adequately met only by a massive re­ sponse. " On a related front, Gov. William G. Milliken announced his administration will be dedicated to solving Michigan's urban troubles. "The problem of the city are the problems of us all, " he told the state Legislature in a special mes­ sage, "Whether we live in the Upper Peninsula,Ben­ ton Harbor or Detroit. " Milliken said the cities of Michigan face a "short­ age of resources" that the state could meet best if the federal government begins to channel its funds through block grants to the state. First priority, he said, must go to "redirecting our existing programs and improving them. " He said the total general budget increase from therrate general and restricted funds is 11 percent this year. 8Q SENATORIAL TREAT — Michigan’s National Cherry Queen, 18-year-old Julie Anne Hamilton of Cedar Springs, offers U.S. Senator Robert P.

Hilda Baas attended the Michigan Week Edu­ cation Board Workshop in the Mott Building at Olivet College last Saturday. After registration and coffee hour, they heard greetings by Dr. Gordon RiethmiUer president. Olivet College. The group enjoyed the four dances of the Kiltie Lassies accompanied by a man playing a bagpipe. All were students at Alma College. William G. Turney, Assistant Chief Engineer, Wa­ ter Resources Commission Department of Natural Re­ sources gave a very interesting and informative talk on Pure Water and Anti-Pollution. He said that much is being done on pollution of water. All Michigan will see a change in polluted water conditions, but Southeastern Michigan will see a drastic change. Lake Erie is not dead, but it has problems. Au lakes are going to die eventually, but for some it may take thousands of years. There are 36,000 miles of rivers and streams in Michigan. Out of the 11, 037 lakes, over 6.000 are ten acres or larger. After lunch, Leona Weeks, Acting Executive Sec­ retary of Greater Michigan Foundation, with offices in Lansing, reviewed Michigan Week activities. This year the 16th Annual Michigan Week will be May 17 24 with eight special days. Saturday - Community Pride Day - Clean up, paint up. fix up your community - be proud of the place where you live. Sunday - Spiritual Foundation Day - Give thanks for Michigan's abundant blessings. Monday Our Government Day - Mayou and Pres­ idents exchange. . Tuesday - Our Heritage Day - Attention to the history and heritage of state and community. Wednesday - Our Livelihood Day - Give thought to how you earn your living, take stock of places that provide livelihoods. Thursday - Education Day - Community go visit schools to recognize educational system. Friday - Hospitality Day - Focus attention on Michigan Hospitality which it is hope will make the state the friendliest place on earth. Saturday - Our Youth Day - It is a day to salute youth and youth groups making outstanding contribu­ tions to the community. Mt. Jack Smith, Chairman of Education Board is superintendent of Carson City Schools. The state chairman this year is president of Detroit Institute of Technology. The theme, the same as last year, is "Michigan Hospitality." Musical selections by three Olivet College students were enjoyed. Ford Caesar of die Lansing schools showed slides on a Michigan vacation, taking the group to many inter­ esting places all over Michigan. <c The program was interesting, enjoyable, informa­ tive, made everyone proud ofMichigan and gave each one many ideas for Michigan Week activities. Poison prevention measures (Hugh W. Brenneman, East Lansing, Michigan, Exe­ cutive Director Michigan State Medical Society, Michigan Association of the Professions.) During the past three decades in the United States, for those persons between the age of 1 and 6, the most common cause of death is accidents. Among all accidents poisoning is a very impor­ tant one. About 1400 deaths occur just from poison­ ing and at least 2 million people require some med­ ical aid for poisoning. According to statistics there is a narrow age range in terms of those most involved. Probably 90 or 95% involve pre-school children. This is the age group where you must keep the dangerous situation away from the child, you can’t take the child away from the danger situation. The toddler age group is very inquisitive and they are not particularly discerning. They get into literally anything and they inspect it, tney feel it, they smell it, and they also taste it If they can. Children in the age range 6-12 have learned by experience that there are certain circumstances that you avoid, and it's interesting that the inci­ dence of poisoning in adults is considerably higher than among the teenagers. The types of poison that are involved are com­ monly found around the house. Medications are by far the most frequent source of poisoning and the single type of medication most commonly involved is aspirin. Nearly 1/4 of all fatal poisonings i n volve aspirin when medications are the type of poisoning involved. Next to the bathroom, the kitchen is the next most dangerous area, particularly under the kit­ chen sink where many kids like to play with the pots and pans. Unfortunately metal polish is kept there. Hydrocarbons and related products are usu­ ally stored in the’same place. These include kero­ sene, sometimes gasoline, lighter fluid. Another is the so-called pesticides - the weed killers and bug killers. If these are strong enough to kill weeds and/ or bugs, they are also potentially strong enough to kill a child. In an emergency situation the most important thing is to call a physician. However, if for one reason or another this is impractical or impossible the best thing to do is separate the poison from the individual who has made contact with the poison. If this is a poison on the outside of the body, or in the eye, such as an insect spray or something of this sort, washing with copious amounts of water or soap and water is called for. The most common poisoning is swallowing of poison. In this instance you get the two apart by inducing vomiting. The best ingredient to do this is the finger - put the finger down the throat. This can be helped along by giving the victim a glass of milk or a glass of water immediately before you in­ duce the vomiting. There are exceptions to the desirability of induc­ ing vomiting. Certain substances like the volatile oils - kerosene, gasoline, lighter fluid - can be in­ haled back into the lungs as they are being vomi­ ted, and this can cause severe pneumonia. Another exception is the groups of agents that are very caus­ tic - strong alkalies or strong acids. These things are caustic and by inducing vomiting the esophagus or food tubes are re-exposed. Usually these acids are adequately neutralized in the stomach and ought to be left there. Poison centers are places where information may be obtained about household products that have been ingested by an individual. There are more . than 200 poison centers in the United States which Sve information either to the individual directly volved or more usually to a physician who calls. The most important things is for the patient or parent to get to the center and to either take the container that contained the poison or the package, or the label. Obviously if the center has to analyze the poison it can be very time consuming. Here are eight good ideas for prevention: 1. keep the poisons that are involved out of the reach of the children, under lock and key if pos­ sible. 2. take an inventory of medicines and throw the old ones away. 3. read all labels. If a child may have been ex­ posed to a poisonous substance keep the container and its label for reference. 4. do not store things such as gasoline in food containers, plastic jars, pop bottles. 5. give only what has been prescribed by the doc­ tor. 6. when using cleansing fluid - provide adequate ventilation. . 7. when using pesticides exercise care to avoid contaminating food as well as avoid inhalation. 8. instruct children not to eat any type of plant or other vegetation when they are inside or outside the home without first obtaining adult approvaL Maple Grove Church News YOUNG PEOPLE ELECT OFFICERS Young people from the First Baptist Church met at the home of Merton Tobias Jr. on Wednesday night of last week.

Know Your Newspaper Better Dear Editor Now This Is What I Think! Did you ever write a letter to the editor? It's fun to see yourself in piint. But actually, you're not writing to only the editor. If he prints your letter—and he probably will—you are really writing to all the thousands of readers of this newspaper. That's a substantial body of readers, but don't let that scare you . . . write as if you were talking to just one of them. What Do You Write About? Perhaps you are really mad at the editor and want to tell him off on some opinion he has voiced. Perhaps you can't contain yourself any longer on some important local issue. Per­ haps you just like to sound off now and then on topics of current interest. Whatever you choose, the "letters to the editor" column is your opportunity to speak your opinions. We Welcome Good Letters In writing them, please follow the rules printed ot the top of the tetters column. These -: . * . rules ask that you keep your letters reasonable in length*, reasonable in tone . . . free of de­ famatory matter. Remember, the editor must "boil down" your letter if too long, and will take out statements that are libelous ... even though the letter has your name printed underneath. Plenty of Topics HERI It's really fun to write to the editor. We don't recommend that you became a • Ins+J i "chronic" letter writer, but every now and then well be glad to hear from you master cylinder . . . taxes, highways, elections, the legislature, streets, parks, schools, city gov­ ernment, accidents, safety, business . . . rcores hand brake TreebrlSts Saits t Strtict LIOS.

March 15 fluoride deadline Parents who wish to have their children enrolled in this summer's topical fluoride program have un­ til March 15 to act. The Barry County Topical Fluoride Committee requests that all eligible chil­ dren be registered by this deadline so that clinics in the various areas can be scheduled.

March 13, 1969 �Pennock Sugar Bush tapped for 80th year 1■ ‘ The stately maple trees in the woods at the Wayne Pennock farm, two miles south of Nashville on M­ 66, have been upped for the 1969 season, just as they have been each year for 80 years, by members of the Pennock innock family. It was back in 1889 that Wayne's grL_"_l grandfather. __ Cur­ tis W. Pennock, with somewhat crude utensils, open open-­ ed the sugar bush at the back of the farm, hung the buckets, and waited for the sap to flow. The first boiling, probably in open pans, was handled in the woods, then the syrup was brought to the house for final processing by his wife, Alice. When their children were old enough they also helped. The two sons, Ralph and Arthur, along with their sister, Mary, assisted with all phases of the work. The boys drove the horses among the trees to collect'the sap, and everyone worked long, hard hours,- often wallowing through deep snow. When the older Pennocks left the farm and moved into Nashville, Ralph (Wayne's father) continued on the farm. Eventually Ralph's family was old enough to help with the syrup making, and Wayne, along with his brothers and sister, served their apprentice­ ship in the art of syrup making. Ralph Pennock is now retired and spends his winters in Florida, while Wayne and his family continue to make syrup. It is still a family project, and Wayne's children can't exactly remember when they first started helping in the sugar bush. Now, in his second year in college at Michigan State University, Rodney, 19, comes home weekends whenever possible, and Bryan, 17, a junior, assist their father while Lorraine, 15, takes care of milking their 35 cows, and Elaine, 13, as­ sists with the house work and gets the evening meal, thus freeing her mother, Marion who handles any phase of syrup making or packaging the finished product. ' St. Patrick’s Day Dance March 15 1 Music by Gale’s Trio from Battle Creek 9:00 p. m. to 2 a. m. Currently the Pennocks have an exchange student, Jorge Martinez from Chile, South America, living with them for ten weeks. Jorge is getting his first experience in helping make maple syrup. It’s prov­ ing quite an experience, and he is learning to like maple syrup. A more sophisticated method is now used in mak­ ing maple syrup than years ago. Wayne has insult­ ed a modern evaporator, and an oil burner is used to boil down the sap. The finished product is now packaged at the sugar shanty, instead of at the house. Usually Wayne and Marion surt boiling in the late afternoon, often continuing until midnight, but during the heavy run, may work all night. There are approximately 1100 ups in the woods and there are as many as three buckets on many of the larger trees. Back in 1957 Wayne surted using plastic tubing on many of the trees on a side hill appropriate for gravity flow. But, like many syrup producers, he found it difficult to replace the tubing after the first year, and after a few seasons gave up using it. However, this year, after further study of the po­ tentialities of plastic usage, and the assisunce of Dr, Melvin R. Koelling, Extension Specialist of the Department of Forestry of MSU, tienow has some 3,000 feet of plastic connecting 165 ups in one area of the woods. When the season ends. Dr. Koelling will return to help mark the tubing, for next year, and Wayne plans to continue using it in the future. The tubing cuts down on the work of collecting the sap from each bucket, as the sap flows directly into a gathering tank. Also, no wa­ ter, leaves, or other particles can get into the sap, although occasionally a squirrel chews a hole in the plastic tubing necessitating repair. Wayne may go a step farther in future years and add pumps to the lines to pull the sap along. In previous years, Wayne made the tap holes a­ bout 1 1/2 inches deep. This year, upon recommen­ dation of the university, Wayne went to a threeinch deep up, which seems to be working out very welL-Wayne says the results show a higher percent of sap per up hole in the "pipe line" area than in the "bucket" area. Over the years Wayne has made improvements in his sugar sunty. In the years when wood was used for fuel to heat the sap the building was always plenty warm. After insulling the oil burner two years ago, he re-sided the sugar shanty for warmth, and converted the shed at the back of the shanty used for wood storage into a packaging room. For several years Wayne and Marion have been members of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival corporation and have uken prizes on tneir syrup quite consistently. They have also won numerous ribbons on their products at the Michigan State Fair in De­ troit where they exhibit annually. This year Wayne is vice president of the Vermontville organization. Of the 1969 season, Wayne says weather condi­ tions have been ideal For the firn two weeks the temperature has been a perfect 18 degrees at night and in the 40’s in the daytime. Never does he re­ member so many consecutive "collecting days" — twelve in a stretch at the time this acticle is being written. The woods have been free from snow so far, and there has been practically no mud to contend with. The sugar content, about 2. 5, has been ade­ quate, but not extremely high, and Wayne feels the quality of the syrup is exceptionally good this year. When the syrup was first produceu at the Pennock farm the price per gallon was in the neighborhood of $2. 00. This year producers in the Nashville area are asking about $7. 00. Marion Pennock bottles and packages the fine maple svrup products. Their labels identify their syrup from the Pennock Sugar Bush.

I was especially happy to see the principal of the school present and to see first hand the need for the established orden to listen to the re a 1 needs that the students have. One thing that will become more and more disastrous for the institutions of the past, whether they be that of the church or state or education, is that they ignore the voices of the young who are forming the society of the future.

Ambulance report One new Snow Sport snowmobile left over Make an offer ou this Wertz Police work is an occupation in crisis. Law en­ forcement agencies are called upon to fulfill everfexpanding, responsible roles in our society. Not on­ ly do policemen risk their lives in defense of the personal and civil rights of law abiding citizens, but, increasingly, they deal with the people and problems associated with the changes occurring a­ cross the entire spectrum of urban life. Police work is crime control and more. Law en­ forcement officers often devote substantial time and energy to crime prevention activities. They are involved in counseling and assisting youth, and they'are active in community relations. In all their contacts with the public, policemen function on an interpersonal not impersonal basis. Although police work is dangerous and, at times, frustrating, individuals with real concern for other human beings find it an occupation which is richly rewarding in personal satisfaction. Police work of­ fers young men an opportunity to be "where the ac­ tion is" in a socially constructive manner. The Metropolitan Police Department of Washing­ ton, D. C. needs young men who are interested in a career in police work. If you know of a young man who might be interested, have him call, o r call for him, CL9-8991, which'is the number of the Vermontville Post Office Information Center. Federal employment representatives have informa­ tion on salaries—which are excellent--opportuni­ ties for advancement and the details of how you join.

Sunday was Sabbath Day and many of the girls at­ tended their churches and participated as a group. On Monday the local leaders hosted the neighbor­ hood #29 leaders at a morning meeting at the Meth­ odist Church. A World of Scouting was the theme for the decorations and cookies from different lands were served with coffee. About 20 attended. Window displays and posters are placed about town and at Maplewood and Maple Valley bulletin boards have displays proclaiming Scout Week. The posters made by the seven patrols will be judged and one winner chosen. On Tuesday the girls left after school to attend a roller skating party in Charlotte as part of the cele­ bration with othei troops. The big thing for them is the annual cooky sale which began March 7 and will run through March 18th. Only the Juniors and Cadettes will be selling; the Brownies do not sell anything. The girls have an order sheet and will take orders only at this time, no money will be collected until the cookies are de­ livered the week of April 15th. There are five kinds of cookies all selling for 50tf a box. A scout sales­ man can be told from a phony one by her uniform or scout pin and also by the official cookies folder that the customers fills in ordering. The national goal this year of 200, 000 boxes is a lot of cookies so the local girls will be hard a t work and will appreciate an order. Happy Birthday Scouts; you are 57 years old. (These ladies don't mind admitting their age) be­ cause they have enjoyed the 57 years to the fullest through scouting.

VOGT Dear friends, One thing a family should not expect the funeral dir- _ ector to do is to suggest the cost of the funeral to be selected. His advice may be invited, but the decision rests with the family. The financial aspects must of necessity be candidly dis­ cussed, to avoid hardship and to have complete understanding by all concerned. Respectfully, FUNERAL HOMES Board considers solutions to over-crowded elementary ar£as The Board of Education of the Maple Valley School district Monday evening hired the architectural firm of Manson, Jackson and Kane, Inc. ot Laming to draw plans for additional classrooms to meet the over-crowi * " ’ ' i the elementary area. The Board D8B primarily with William Kane, in c plant planning. Kane is a member if Educational Facilities Planners. i ’ Gov. Romney to the Fire Safety ate, and is chairman of the Facilit or the State Department of Educatii rial Materials Centers. The bull s and enrollment growths have been i, but no definite pro­ gram has been decided upon 'by the Board. It is hoped the district can vote on the new build­ ing program in June. The teaching staff of the Maplewood Elementary building presented a letter to the board requesting that they retain Mrs. Iva Reed and place her on a full time job as principal of their building next year. Mrs. Reed has reached the retirement age, and it has been the board's policy to retire teach­ ers and other school personnel when they reach the age of 65. It goes without saying that Mrs. Reed is a dedicated teacher and administrator, and during her many years as teacher has been an asset to the school ana to her community. The letter was ta- bled until further study is made. The teachers presented their proposal for nego­ tiations for the coming year. These were not read in the meeting Monday night, but the matter will be taken up in future meetings. In commenting on the proposals contained in the negotiations, Supt. Carroll J. Wolff said he was hopeful the teachers and board could come up with a workable solution as rapidly as possible, as it would be advantageous to those teachers who will be signing contracts to return next fall, as well as the new teachers he will be interviewing. • The Maple Valley Jaycees were given permis­ sion to build a new scoreboard at the Vermontville athletic field for spring baseball. Plans were pre­ sented through the Junior-Senior High School prin­ cipal, Leon Housler, who has been conferring with the Jaycees on the project. The Jaycees will han­ dle all costs of the new board. A fence will also enclose the baseball field. This will be removed at the end of the baseball season. Spring sports this year will include golf, tennis, track and baseball, and coaches will be named to handle the various events. So far, some nine stu­ dents have indicated an interest in golf; 19 for ten­ nis; 24 for track and approximately 40 forbasebalL PHONE 013-26)2 or 0.9-8955 Kalamo FARGO Likes To Serve You With The Very Best in MOTOR OILS MRS.

Continue ambulance service As announced last week the Castleton Maple Grove Ambulance Service will continue operation on the same basis as in 1968. We have had some questions as to just how we will operate without the County subsidy that we received in 1968. Some of these questions will be answered in this brief acticle. Local ambulance service as it now exists was or­ ganized in February and March of 1968. This oper­ ated under a contract with the county to supply a portion of the cost through a bid presented by the local Ambulance Board. We then received quarter­ ly payments from the county and these payments, along with the collections from rum made, were the basis of financing the operation. This operat­ ing agreement terminated March 1, 1969. In sub­ muting our bid for this year the county board saw fit to turn the bid down largely due to the fact that we refused to operate under the minimum char­ ges of $30.00 per call plus $1.00 per loaded mile, as demanded in the county contract. This mini­ mum charge per call made under a county plan would have worked as follows— • . Approx. Chgs RUNS MADE TO LOCAL CHG BY COUNTY Pennock, Hastings $20.00 $ 43.00 Charlotte 20.00 46.00 Battle Creek 25.00 52.00 Grand Rapids 50.00 - • 80.00 Laming 40.00 70.00 As most of our rum are made to Pennock Hos­ pital we could not accept a rate more than double our former rates. This was turned down by both the firemen as well as the Ambulance Soard and was also condemmed by many local people. Other county areas are also very unnappy with this coun­ ty mandatory charge. TTie feeling here is that the county handled the ambulance situation in rather an unsatisfactory manner. Therefore, we are operating locally with the bacKing of the two townships concerned. By mak­ ing the same charges as in the past we hope to run a break-even operation. This will depend on every­ one using the ambulance making a prompt pay ment of charges made. We feel that we have had a very smooth oper­ ation this past year and many fine compliments have been given our firemen who operate the am­ bulance. Ninety-eight ambulance calls were made during the year ending March 1st. We think this justified people of this area making a request for a local based ambulance with minimum charges, and feat is the basis we have tried to set up the service. If you are in need of ambulance service, call 653-2341 and rerpembet on March 30th, this phone number changesito 852-0810. Castleton-Maple Grove Ambulance Service Board, Russell K. Mead, secretary and treasurer. 1969 The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, March 13, 1969 � http://barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/21/837/MapleValleyNews_1969-03-20.pdf 022e0cec5f1328bccffe57f8f8b1e513 PDF Text Text COMBINED NASHVILLE NEWS AND VERMONTVILLE ECHO VOLUME 96 10 Cents a Copy THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 20, 1969 NUMBER 43 Select Maple Syrup Queen Miss Karen Wilmore, 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Wilmore of Route 1, Vermontville, has been selected to be Maple Syrup Queen of the 1969 Ver­ montville Festival to be held Saturdav, April 26.

I've had people tell me mine is, but mine can't bold a candle to Wes*. Wes looks like be came right out of China somewhere. I don't mean this as a oad comment, I mean it is good. Well, anyway, the other day Wes*and Mrs. Erwin went to Grand Rapids to pick up a truck load of groceries. Well, on the way back from Grand Rapids, load­ ed to the gunnels, Wes bad a flat tire. Jacking up the truck, loaded with groceries is no easy trick, so Wes decided the better part of valor was to call a service truck to have the tire changed. So, he left his wife in the car and he trudged up to the nearest farm bouse door. He knocked on the door, and an elderly gentle­ men came, peered out at him. The old fellow open­ ed the door just a crack and then questioned. "What do you want?" Wes explained about the flat tire and asked the old gentlemen if he could use the phone. The old fellow slammed the door, but Wes said he knew he was standing there, looking through the glass, so Wes knocked again on the door. The old man opened it and went through the same routine, *what do you Want?” Wes explain­ ed again about the flat tire and requested the use of the phone. "You a hippie?" the old man said. "No", Wes said, "I'm a grocer." "Oh", "well, comeinanduse the phone, but get right out again." So, Wes took his shoes off because they were muddy from walking up to the house, and walked into the kitchen, used the telephone and then as he was about to put his shoes on again, the old man asked him, "What you got in the truck?" "A load of groceries, * Wes said. "You sure it ain't dope?" "Good grief no!" Wes said. Wes and 1 later figured out, as we were talking about this, that if he had that truck loaded with dope, he would be worth at least several million dollars. Anyway, before he left the house, .as he was put­ ting his shoes on, the old man looked out the win­ dow again and there were the State Police talking to Mrs. Erwin. A State Police car had been cruis­ ing down the highway, and the policeman, seeing a good looking lady in trouble, had stopped to see if they could be of any help. To the old man, though, this was just one more indication that Wes wasn't all that he said be was. Wes said as he put his shoes on and walked out the door, be glanced back at the old-man and could tell by the look on his face that he was convinced the truck was load­ ed with dope and that the State Police had caught a dope peddler right in front of his house. Forrie Babcock says his beard itches. He's going to keep it until the big day -but-hebas some second thoughts about growing one in the fiat place. Forrie claims that you can buy a beard and a moustache that-pastes on, for $5. 00. I'm not sure Forrie's prices are right - I've seen them ad­ vertised for $35. 00. We went to Chicago for a couple of days this week. Actually, we were going to stay for the en­ tire. weekend, but a bunch of sick kids brought us home early. Anyway, the Chicago papers were loaded with advertisements for corned beef. It seems the corned beef people have grabbed on to St. Patrick's Day and are making a big thing of it. The ads were all admonishing people to buy corned beef and have corned beef and cabbage for St. Pat's Day. Sounds like a marvelous idea to me. I'd like to have corned beef and cabbage on any day. in Cnicago, Alisande and I were walking down the street just when there was a big bomb scare at the Civic Center. We were able to watch as what looked like the entire Chicago Police force clear­ ed a city block of Chicago in practically nothing flat. On the one street I could see, there was at NATIONAL NEWSPAPER; MAPLE VALLEY NEWS NASHVILLE NEWS & VERMONTVILLE ECHO NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publications, Inc.

They did a beautiful job of clearing the people out in a very short time, and they found, it was indeed, just a scare, there was no bomb. Someone had called and reported a bomb. They did find a black box with a timing device and a percussion cap in it, but no explosives. Just part of the life in Chicago. And, U you want to go to the Windy City C - go to Chicago in March - it really is windy. Patricio got a kick out of viewing Chicago ftom the top of the Prudential Building, and I must ad­ mit, I always get a kick out ofseeing Chicago from the Top of 1the Rock. Even though we came home early, we had time to see a few things in Chicago and I'm sure our visitor from Chile was impressed. _____ Yoe see everything in Chicago - old women chewing match sticks and walking like they were behind a plow - hippie boys with hair down to their shoulders, looking like girls - and girls look­ ing like boys - and other girls looking like girls mini skirts and bell bottom pants - rag-tag men scrounging through the refuse cans - classybleached blonde ladies slowly shopping through Marshall Fields - leggy models threading their way through the State Street crowds carrying the badge of their profession, a hatbox - and as Alftande and I were walking down the street, she nudged me and said, "Now, I've seen everything! Look at that!* And there was a man with a goose in his arms - a great big live goose! And it was pretty apparent, the goose was not going to be dinner. The goose was a pet. The man was patting its head and talking to it as he walked down the street. And, I've no doubt, some of the Chicago peo­ ple looked at us as we were going down the street and thought the same thing we think about them. I can just hear them now saying, "Look, now I’ve seen everything - look M the man with the beardr Well, it's time to break out the green ties and the shamrocks and the shellalleis, and get a little weepy about the old sod and pay tribute to one who has become a great American hero. I have a sus­ picion that St. Patrick's Day means a lot more to Americans, all Americans, not just Irish Americans, than he means to the Irish. Perhaps instead of being the patron saint of Ireland, he should be the patron saint of America. Anyway, the chowder and marching societies have all turned out in their best green and we've gorged ourselves on corned beef and cabbage and maybe even some of us have had a snort of Irish whiskey and we can start preparing for St. Patrick* Day next year. ■ • If anyone has any doubts that spring is really here, let him look up into the trees.

Eaton County Sheriff talks to County Historical Society When Sheriff Elwin J. Smith of Charlotte, told the history of law enforcement in Eaton County to the members and visitors at the meeting of the Eaton County Historical Society at the courthouse on March 13, he withheld the gruesome details. However, he said that from the time Robert Whea­ ton, Eaton County's fiat sheriff, took office in 1838 until now, the thirty four sheriffs who held office were busy day and night performing their duties with limited, inadequate facilities. They were all Republicans except Horace Boom. Several deputies throughout the county tried to help but they were hampered by slow communica­ tion. For a long time court was held in Bellevue; later, it was in the Williams Hotel in Petea* Circle. The criminal didn't have much to look forward to, after he was caught, and the sheriff's wife served as undeaheriff as well as cook for the prisoner. In 1842 the council appropriated four dollaa for a jail, sheriff Smith explained, and a hole six feet deep and eight feet square was dug. The location of this fiat Jail in Charlotte is unknown. A large heavy cover made it secure. The next year five dollars was voted to be used for equipment; blankets and a slop jar. In 1846 a well was dug for the convenience of the sheriff. In 1873 the old jail was completed at the cost of 16 thousand dollars. Evert Peck remodeled it in 1947 and it was used until the new jail was built in 1960. The courthouse was completed in 1875 and cost 70 thousand dollars. A fire in 1894 caused ex­ tensive damage. Sheriff Smith can be justly proud of his 22 yeaa • in office,, which is longer than anyone before him has served. He explained the rapid advances that have taken place since 1940 when the county had two cars with one-way radios. The driver had to stop, find a phone and call back, "he'd got the message." The deputy had a uniform in 1940, also. In 1946 they had two-way radios, an undersheriff was hired, plus a night man to take calls and two deputies. The first night man was Bill Culp, Now there are thirty five deputies,' nine cars and two boats. Twenty-two yeaa ago, he said, there were a hundred accidents a year; now there are 15 hundred. Of the 48 persons killed in Eaton County last year, 45 were investigated by the sheriff's department, as well as 75% of the crimes comitted here. Sheriff Smith said, "The woat chare of our de­ partment is picking up the pieces of bodies splatter­ ed all over the pavements." He also said rhatsametimes the smallest incident will solve a crime. He mentioned that he hadn't been home for a hol­ iday dinner with his family since he took office. Refreshmena were served by Ma. Fred Bohn and Mr. and Mrs. John Doman. • The Eaton County Historical Society plans to have another interesting program next month.

The Maple Valley Newt, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, March 20, 1969 �Prepares for Lansing Antique Show What next. Ora Slout? Adding three more antique shows to her listings this year. Mb. Slout is now back in Vermontville preparing for the Lansing Antique Show on March 21, 22 and 23. Ora Slout is going on 73 years--but shows no signs of stopping. ' . After the Laming Show she will take a "breather" before swinging into the west for shows at Fort Smith, Ark,, Sab Angelo, Texas; Las Vegas, Nev,. El Paso, Texas, Alburquerque, New Mexico and Pueblo and Denver, Colo., during June and July. Then back to Vermontville again she will get ready for the September show at Tulsa, Okla., Topeka and Wichita, Kan., and Memphis, Tenn. Next October she will return for another show in Lansing before going to El Paso where she makes her home with her sister, Mrs. Crowson, part of the time. But that's not all. Already this year, during Jan­ uary and February, she managed snows at Memphis, Tenn., Fort Worth, Texas; Tulsa' and Oklahoma City, Okla., and Springfield, Missouri. The three new shows she is adding this year are those at San Angelo. Las Vegas and Pueblo. Her sister. Mrs. Crowson, joins her for all the shows, and she is 80. Sounds like a busy schedule indeed for these two women, well past the so-call­ ed "retirement age" but these two have more spark and vitality than many persons half their age. Probably Ora Slout's "pet" show is Lansing, for it was there she and her husband, the late Vern Slout, got interested in managing antique shows. It was also the last show Mt. Slout arranged before his death in 1955. The Lansing show, to be held in the Civic Center, is sponsored Dy the Lansing Women's Club House Association. Before promoting antique shows, Mr. and Mrs. Slout had their town tent shows and for many years traveled across the United States entertaining under the "big top", staying a day or two, or perhaps a week, then moving on. Mrs. Slout started her career in show business in 1913, and is now entering her 56th year dealing with the public. ."Antique shows are really no different in many respects than performing in tent shows," says Ora Slout. "It's the same 'setting up' and 'tearing down' seeing that everyone is 'on stage' at the proper time, and no matter how tireo the 'stars' are—or how far they have driven, or how difficult it has been to get the 'stage set', when the doors swing open, everyone is 'shined up' and ready to perform." Mb. Slout does all the promoting and managing of the antique shows. She! operates under "World Wide Antique Shows, Slout Managed. " Her sister, Mrs. Crowson, who operates her own antique shop in El Paso, handles all ticket sales at the door. "I hate to sell tickets, " says Ora, but my sister loves it, so it works out fine. * Actually, it was because of Mrs. Crowson that Ora and Vern got into the antique business. "Many years ago, when we were in tent show business I'd go out and look for antiques which I would buy and send to Lillian. Always, it seemed, between re­ hearsals, I'd be out rummaging here and there for articles--and I really came up with some beautiesj" Ora Slout has worked hard all her life. Her suc­ cess is largely due to the fact she doesn't have the word "can’t" in her repertoire. If, in tent show days, the script called for burned biscuits, she cov­ ered some with black cloth. If a certain type of costume was needed, she made it. If special mus­ ic was called for, she improvised on the piano. She plays the piano very well, although mostly by ear. Her earliest stage work was singing in musicales, although she was playing the piano for a touring musicale group at the age of 15. When she was 16 she could play parts written for old women, and in later years she was famous for her comedy role as "Orrie" which was as recognized as the counterpart of "Toby" her late husband protrayed, the country yokel he played for years. In fact, Vern Slout wrote the "Orrie" role into many established plays, as well as in the many original plays he wrote.

Ora Slout has been promoting antique shows, and occasionally she adds something to her own private collection. Her latest is this lady's sidesaddle which dates back to the civil war, and which will be on display at the Lansing show. (But is not for sale). The saddle is the original leather, with the exception of the strap attach­ ed to the original stirrup. The seat covering is the original The sidesaddle is the type upon which the rider siu with both legs on the same side of the animal, designed for the "belles” who preferred the more ladylike transportation, used when wearing skirts. --Photo by Gladys Richardson ” In setting up an antique show 1 never know what I'll run into, " says Ora. I have to be careful o» how I arrange the dealeB' booths, being careful not to place similar displays next to each other. Even then I'm not sure what they will bring in. One time a dealer will have glassware, only to find that the next time he brings a jewelry display. Sometimes I order 40 six-foot tables and map out the floor arrangement accordingly, only to find when I arrive they have brought in 30 eight-foot tables instead. And believe me, antique dealers are just as tempermental as any show people. I've really gotten into some tense--and amusing--sit­ uations. "I'm always surprised too at the public's tastes from year to year. This year they have gone for more expensive items, and larger articles. This year, for the fiBt time, the Lansing show will have lots of antique furniture. Primitives are especially good this year. Prices are staggering, and this is also a good year for orientals, Duttons, bottles and postcards. " Another trend is noticed among the dealeB this year, many who come from all parts of the United States. More and more they are traveling in campeB and traileB, and combine their business with vacations. A large number of the dealeB partici­ pate in practically all of Ora's shows, as they have for years. • * ■ If, and when, Ora Slout ever decides to retire, she will be hard to replace. But presently it looks as though she is ready--and anxious--to go on for­ ever.

The committee is going to concen­ trate on two projects to see them through, one being the Welcome Wagon brochures. They are printed and are ready to be taken to all newcomers that move into the village. It contains names of organi­ zations, their officers in charge, meeting dates, where to find things, a short interesting history and from the merchants a gift certificate will be placed in the folder. Miss Esther Shepard is in charge and has a committee from other organizations that will see that these brochures will be handed out. If you have new neighbors, please call her. The other project the committee has taken on is a maple tree planting promotion to replace the dead elms in the village and besides if no new maples are planted soon, the village streets will be bare and this should not be allowed to happen. More and more of the maples are dying, less trees are tapped each year and something must be done. Anyone interested in this project is urged to come to the meeting. It will need much community sup­ port, and we would like comments.

EXPERT TUNE-UPS LET US GIVE IT THAT LIKE NEW TOUCH • WHEEL BALANCING • BRAKE SERVICE WOODARD’S MOBIL SERVICE Nashville Ph. 0L3-6003 OPEN LETTER ——... from GEORGE H. VOGT Dear friends, '9 ** ** >1 The great majority of funeral directors will en­ courage bereaved families to keep funeral expenditures within their means, and if efforts fail, to enlist the aid of the family’s clergy­ man or other advisor, to insure that prudence is New dramatic operation (Hugh W. Brenneman, East Lansing, Michigan. Exe­ cutive Director Michigan State Medical Society, Michigan Association of the Professions.) Pelvic exoneration is a very new operation and a very complicated one. It offers to patients another chance at the possibility of cure if they have cer­ tain kinds of neoplasma of the pelvis. A newplasm is any new and abnormal growth, such as a tumor. This operation involves removing the female or­ gans as well as the bladder and rectum. The t a 1 ents of several specialities are used in providing the patient the best possible care. Among the people who actively participate are the general surgeon, the gynecologist and urologist Also the internist, the nurse and on occasion tne psychiatrist is need­ ed. The help of the social worker is utilized to place some of these patients in a situation at home that will allow them to recuperate in the best pos­ sible way. This surgery is a very large undertaking and is not undertaken lightly. But surprisingly, the loss of a bladder and rectum, though it can never be adequately compensated for, is a situation that patients seem to tolerate remark­ ably welL < They, of course, have a colostromy, but this is not an insurmountable problem. They learn to care for their colostromy so that it moves once a day and for the most pan they are spared embarrassing a c cidents. Their bladder is a little bit more difficult to substitute for, and they wear a collecting device with good assurance that they can stay dry through­ out the day. This Is glued in place--It is glued di­ rectly to tne skin and some of the newer ones uti lize techniques such as gummed paper and excell­ ent water-proof seals which will last for a number of days. This is usually connected to a collecting device that may be strapped around the leg and surely you couldn't tell such a patient if you saw her walking down the street. This procedure is seldom done as the primary form of treatment for various gynecologic and pel­ vic neoplasms. It is reserved rot use in patients who have failed to respond to less complicated forms of treatment, such as radiation therapy or who have recurring disease following a course of treatment with radiation therapy. The patient's general physi­ cal status is assessed, the doctors taking into ac­ count such things as age, obesity, blood pressure, heart disease and also whether" the patient will be able to emotionally adapt to such an undertaking. They have to learn bow to take care erf themselves and this requires an active, aggressive type of per­ son who is willing to put forth an extra little bit of effort to make life acceptable. This operation is, in a certain sense, a court of last resort. Without this procedure, essentially all of. these patients are not likely to survive any more than a year or eighteen months. Patients are offer­ ed a second opportunity for cure that they would not have with any other modality of therapy. By "cure" is meant a chance to survive five years free of dis­ ease in one out of three patients who survive the op­ eration. The operative mortality is on the order of about 5%, This is comparable to any major operative pro­ cedure that a patient may undergo today to elimin­ ate other kinds of neoplasm. It would certainly be easier and much more ac ceptable if patients could be treated with medica­ tion rather than have them undergo major operative procedures which basically destroy and obliterate normal function. Everyone hopes that there will be an opportunity for cure with chemo-therapeutic agents of these kinds of neoplasm, but that seems to be a long way in the future. The best that can be offered today is pelvic exoneration. Begin Cancer Cxusade With emphasis on the need for regular checkups for cancer, the Barry County Unit of the American Cancer Society has prepared the preliminary plans for launching its annual educational and fund-rais­ ing crusade.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, March 20, 1969 �Wants old copies of Echo Mrs. Dewayne Wright, a member of the Vermoir.ville Historical Society, has announced,that the or­ ganization is currently seeking old copies of the Ver­ montville Echo, They have many copies between the years of 1903 and 1930 but need copies earlier and later than these dates, as well as some copies between these dates. The reason these copies are needed is that the So­ ciety is undertaking the project of having these cop­ ies of the Echo micro-filmed and placed as a perman­ ent record in the Vermontville Library. This project is bei^g done in conjunction with the Michigan State Library in Lansing. Anyone having copies may call Mrs. Wright at CL9-3382. She must have these before April 1st.

New WMU Center offers unique service Children's Charter of the Courts of Michigan, Inc. has announced merger of its activities with Western Michigan UniveBity of Kalamazoo. On February 1, the UniveBity established a Center for Children's Court Services which will assume many of the activities formerly carried on by Children's Charter. . Director of the WMU Center is Donald T. Ander­ son, former Kalamazoo County Probate Judge who has served as Educational Director of Children's Charter since its establishment in 1959. The Chart ter, formed by the state's probate judges with a goal of improving court services to children, will con­ tinue to operate in conjunction with the WMU Cen­ ter. Eugene S. Thomas, formerly deputy director, has assumed new duties as Children's Charter Direc­ tor. The WMU Center, only one of its kind in the na­ tion, will continue most of the activities inaugur*-, ated by the Charter, including training seminars for court workers and gathering and disseminating information geared toward improvement of juven­ ile court services. Other programs carried out in recent years by the Charter include: conducting surveys, nation-w ide consultant activities, study of the child's reaction to court and police handling, conferences promot­ ing relationships between scnool, juveniie court and police, and working towards reorganization of juvenile courts and their services to children. Currently the WMU Center is operating out of Children’s Charter headquarteB at 614 West Lovell Street in Kalamazoo. Both organizations will be financed through private and/or federal funds. A grant from The W. K. Kellogg Foundation is expect­ ed to cover 1969-70 operating funds. The KeUogg Foundation has underwritten a majority of Children^ Charter activities since the organization's incep­ tion. Maple Grove MRS. VERN HAWBLITZ Mr. and Mrs. Don Wolf and family were Sunday dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Horn of Battle Creek. Tuesday evening guests of Mr. and Mrs. Howard Norton were Mr. and Mrs. John Birman Jr. and fam­ ily of Hastings; Gary Birman returned to his duty af­ ter a leave. Mr. and Mrs. Howard Norton took his mother Mb. Ida Norton to Cedar Springs Sunday evening where she will spend some time with Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Michigan Mirror ' DOCTOR SHORTAGE A Michigan State UniveBity economist says that 3 even immediate expansion of all Michigan medical schools wouldn't provide enough doctOB by 1980 to keep pace with the state's present inadequate num­ ber of physicians. Dr. David I Verway, a research associated of MSU reports in the current issue of the "Economic Record" that Michigan has 4, 66 percent of the nation's per­ sonal income, and 4.34 percent of the population, but only 4.15 percent of the physicians ,in private practice. Michigan specialists account for only 3. 88 percent of the national total, he added. Dr. Verway cited several facton which have con­ tributed to the doctor shortage in the state, includ­ ing: Michigan, with a higher birth rate and a greater share of its population In the younger age groups than the national average, has an above average need for services to treat diseases peculiar to chil­ dren., City dwellers, who utilize medical services more than rural residents, comprise a greater proportion of the state's population than are found in many oth­ er states. In order to maintain the present relationship of doctors to population. Dr. Verway estimated the state will need 7, 600 additional physicians by 1980. Even immediate expansion of all of Michigan’s medical schools would not produce the number of doctOB by then, he said, adding that the state relies neavily on foreign manpower for its supply of physi­ cians. "It has been estimated that 14.3 percent of all Michigan medical doctors graduate from foreign medical schools." he- said. POOR CHANCE Riot-control legislation much weaker than that ve­ toed by former Gov. George W. Romney last year was passed by the state Senate. The measure would authorize local officials to de­ clare a state of emergency when a riot appears im­ minent and the Governor is out of the state. It now goes to the House, where Democratic lead­ ers have vowed to kill it, The Democrats hold a 57­ 53 edge in the lower chamber. Senate passage came after Gov. William G. Mil­ liken lifted his objection to the bill. Bin the Gov­ ernor had insisted on the provision giving him com­ plete authority over riot prevention when he's in Michigan. FALSE ALARM False alarm, that's what a state Supreme Court justice says State Natural Resources Director Ralph A. MacMullan sounded recently about the celebra­ ted Martiny Lakes decision.

Those needing ambulance service are to call tsc-ffre number they now use in Castleton and Maple Grove Townships. Jackpot News There was a winner in the Nashville jackpot draw­ ing last Friday night.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Justice Eugene F. Black of Port Huron says that contrary to MacMullan's statemenu, thd" court did not close 95 percent of Michigan's salmon and trout streams to public fishing. "Martiny decided no new public right, and no new private right in any stream," said Black, who authored the opinion that triggered the furor. Concern stemmed from the court's definition of a navigable stream open to public fishing in a case involving state efforts to manage the water level of a lake created by the Martiny Lake Dam in Mecost­ a County. MacMullan had said the ruling threw out the old criteria that a navigable stream was any body of water that could float logs. He called tor and got legislation before the Senate and House to broaden the definition. Black said if MacMullan was right, then "all of the participating justices, except for the dissenter, should be impeached as an immediate first order of legislative business... such is my complete confi­ dence in the fact that you are dead wrong. " MacMullan was "grateful" Black issued his state­ ment and conceded his fears were unfounded. "Justice Black has cleared the air and at the same time reassured the hundreds of thousands of fisher­ men, boaters and other recreationists who enjoy the use of our inland waterways, " MacMullan said. PACE QUICKENS Slow-footed. That was the adjective used moat frequently to describe early activity of the 19691 Michigan Legislature. No more. The pace has quick­ ened considerably as lawmakers strive to adjourn by mid or late summer. . Scores of new bills ranging in subject matter from fish disease to horse back riding to abortion to riot control have been introduced. Committee hearings on major legislation are well under way. "We just might surprise everyone anu get out of here by July 4 yet, " said one optimistic legislator. ” But I'm not taking odds on that." Small wonder. The lawmakers still must grapple with schooL tax, labor, crime, welfare and elec­ tion reform problems, to name only a few. Ahead lies some rough, multi-million dollar decisions. If the Legislature didn't have enough things to fret about on the fiscal front, it got some more recently. The 19 sure departments and 11 tax-supported insti­ tutions of higher education proposed a $1.5 billion, five-year building program that, if approved, would require taxpayers to dig deeper into their pocket­ books than ever before to pay for brick-and-mortar improvements. The vast financial blueprint asks the Legislature to appropriate $300.7 million this year, $338. 9 mil­ lion next year, $316. 9 million m 1971, $271. 8 mil­ lion in 1972 and $232 million in 1973. The sum includes $498. 5 million in restricted funds, and $961. 9 million from the state general fund, financed principally from income and sales tax receipts. The restricted funds would be spent for highway, waterway and airway improvements. Money would come from user fees such as gasoline and registra­ tion taxes. General fund expenditures would go for a variety of projects, including these major items: $58.2 million for a new state Capitol and remodel­ ing work on the old CapitoL Another $20. 5 mil­ lion is proposed for state office building improve­ ments in Lansing, Grand Rapids and Escanaba. $28. 5 million for new mental health facilities in Detroit, Flint, Grand Rapids and Calhoun-Jackson counties. Only $900, 000 of this is sought during fiscal 1969-70. $18. 5 million for correctional facilities, includ­ ing erection of two new medium security prisons. $10. 6 million for State Police projects, with $5.5 million going for construction of a civil defense emergency operating center and $3. 3 million for a training academy. $6. 7 million for improvements at the boys and . girls (raining schools, including construction of swimming pools, basketball courts and related fa­ cilities. . Nearly half, or $680.2 million, of the total $1. 5 billion outlay would go to institutions of higher edu- ' cation, with Michigan State, Wayne and Michigan UniveBities getting the lion's share. The State Mental Health Department asked for $87. 9 million, the Governor's office, $84. 9 million, the Department of Corrections, $31 million and the education department, $20.5 million. Democrats were heartened when conservative GOP John P. (Joe) Smeekens won an election for a seat in the House of Representatives. The Branch, Hillsdale, Lenawee county area had been solidly Republican for yeaa, but his victory was only a margin of 488 votes. His opponent was a relatively unknown Democrat, Paul Porter, a farmer from Quincy. The contest was for the seat left vacant by the death of Rep. Frederic J. ManhalL The thin margin of victory is a stimu­ lant to Democrats who are already thinking of ways to win in the next round of balloting. Smeekens served in the Senate el ' prior to his 1964 GOP primary lots. He was pro-tempore of the upper chamber in 1963- The Maple Grove Birthday Club met at the Town Hall Tuesday, March 18. • Mr. and Mrs. Lee Bell of E.

THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1969 NUMBER 44 Wants old copies of Echo Mrs. Dewayne Wright, a member of the Vermon’ville Historical Society, has announced that the or­ ganization is currently seeking old copies of the Ver­ montville Echo. They have many copies between the years of 1903 and 1930 but need copies earlier and later than these dates, as well as some copies between these dates. The reason these copies are needed is that the So­ ciety is undertaking the project ol having these cop­ ies of the Echo micro-filmed and placed as a perman­ ent record ui the Vermontville Library. This project is being done in conjunction with the Michigan State Library in Lansing. Anyone having copies may call Mrs. Wright at CL9-3382. She must have these before April 1st. All copies will be returned to the owners after their use. Mr. Richard Hathaway, from the Michigan State Library, talked recently at a meeting of the Vermont Ville Historical Society and Mrs. Wright and Miss Esther Shepard with his guidance, have been investi­ gating the micro-filming project. Centennial Queen contestants to be presented at Banquet March 26 School administrators attend Chicago conference Mr. Leon Housler, High School Principal and Howard Yost, Elementary Supervisor, represented the Maple Valley Schools at the ASCD Conference in Chicago, Illinois last week.

" Each morning of the conference began with a Gen eral Session. One session was a study of present-day supervision, an analysis of present status of the field dilemmas confronting supervision, problems and is­ sues and new developments. Another session exam­ ined the school as a social system and discussed the problems that may confront it in the next decade. Mr. Housler attended special assemblies on Mod­ els of Curriculum Planning: New Look at Education, and Mr. Yost attended a session on Supervision and the selection and Utilization of Learning Materials for the Elementary Schools. Both men attended For­ ums on the Controversy of the Middle School and Improvement ur Reading. A total of 364 booths, with exhibits and Instruc­ tional materials were set up in the Hilton Hotel.

Saturday night and Sunday night, 1 don't believe the tenperalure got down below 40, and one of these days we'll be looking into the trees and find buds - perhaps even now. Pussy willows are out. Some of the fields out in the country look green; 1 believe they're winter wheat. So it looks again as if our winter is over. As winters go, this one has not been a particular­ ly bad one as far as I can see. We did have one snow, but that's about it. I can't remember our having any protracted period of extreme cold weather this year. As a matter of fact, it seemed pretty mild all the way around. This made the for­ eign exchange students from Chile a might unhap­ py. They had expected to come up here and find heaps of snow. Even in Charlevoix there was no where near what they generally have. Looks like the skiing season is over and it won't be too long before the water skiing sets in. Well, as I say, it couldn't come any too soon for me. Our deer herd in the southern part of Michigan must be growing tremendously. Either that or my eyes are gening sharper and I'm able to see them. The other day on the way home from Lansing, I looked out into a field of I think winter wheat - it was green - and there were five or six big deer grazing like cattle. As I went past them, perhaps 100 yards from them, I honked the bom. They all put tircir ears forward, lifted their heads up and looked at me, but then went right back to their grazing. Not only is the herd growing but is growing bold­ er every day. These animals create quite a hazard on the road, particularly down around our part of the country. I noticed some Department of Natural Resources the other day showing that Barry County is one of the highest for deer kill on the highway. Plans for the big Centennial celebration seem to be going along well. It takes a project like this to bring the people together. I think so often we go a­ long, minding our own business, paying little atten­ tion to what n going on, and then suddenly we're called upon to attend meetings and to help coordin­ ate our effort and find it's fun to be with people and to work with people. J think this is something we have lost through the century that our town has been here. Baek in the past, Nashville was full of organiza­ tions. The old papers list meetings for lodges, clubs, organizations, all through the week and back in those old days, before radio and television, when one wasn't going to a regular meeting of some or­ ganization, he was often engaged in informal com­ munications. The old papers mention often the fact that a group of men in the town would get together in a back rdom of one of the stores and play cards of an evening. They often had dinners also, these men who play­ ed cards. What they would do would be to steal somebody's chickens - 2 or 3 chickens - enough for a dinner; take the chickens to a bakery where they were prepared and then invite the man whose chick­ ens were stolen to dinner. They kept it strictly with­ in the group, they didn't steal chickens from out­ side, but no one ever knew that he was providing the chickens for the dinner until the party was over. I guess they had a lot more time for that sort of Y. E. S. I've heard of Youth Education Studies. Sev­ eral months ago I was privileged to haVe attended some of their meetings. I was amazed at many things. First, their ability to form a business meet­ ing and accomplish things from complete chaos. These were some of the first meetings in the life of the Y. E. S. Club; they drew up part of their consti­ tution, had open discussions and selected subjects they wanted to learn more about. The variety over­ whelmed me. So did the kids. They are intelligent, humorous, mannerly, interesting and searching for knowledge in a very mature way. L for one, had my eyes opened again to the fact kids are not just a group, mob, or bunch, but i n dividual*. Responsible, interesting individuals. Lis­ ten to them and be glad you did. Best of luck Y. E.S. Club; I'm interested in you, too. , Barbara Hoppe, resident P. S. Subversive? Good Grief! fcv John boughton way. The more we throw away, the lew space w e have for living.

We gave the incorrect time for the Dedication of the new building of the Assembly of God Church. The correct time is 3'. 00 p. m. on Sunday, March 30 instead of 7:00 p. m. as we stated. Another article in the paper this week gives the details. As far as Karen Benedict is concerned, our con­ gratulations go out to her with the honor of being named Michigan Maple Syrup Queen. However, we regret the typographical error when we stated she was not going to New York tor the National Queen Con­ test. Actually. Karen will be competing in this con­ test also and will be going to New York. These two errors we are aware of; there may be many, many more that we don't yet know about. BIRTHS Mr. and Mn.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, March 27. 1969 �Here's the home of real hospitality in Detroit Greeks had a word (Hugh W. Brenneman. East Laming, Michigan, Exe­ cutive Director Michigan State Medical Society, Michigan Aswciation of the Professions.) We Americans profess to like plain language, but we secretly relish big, resounding, learned words particularly those that have a history. Grammar and glamour were once the same words, and the learned man of Jong ago, the master of grammar, the science of letters, oasked in the almost reli­ gious respect of his neighbors. He gave off a kind of figurative radiance, as aura as it were of magic. In ancient days the alchemist dressed himself in robes decorated with the signs of the zodiac. Other professional men of long ago knew considerable Latin and Greek. A lot of the Greek used by the medieval thinker is still alive today and in use, especially by medi­ cal men. Every up-to-date medical center of our day has its otorhinolaryngologist and we know him as the specialist on ills of the ear, nose, and throat. We go to the surgeon, accept his title as modem, everyday English, but it is really a Greek word to describe a man who uses his hands to affect a cure. Anesthesia, another word we accept more or less without a qualm, is also pure Greek and means, as you might expect, insensibility to pain. The word obstetrics is almost pure Latin, and signified "stand­ ing by" for the birth of a child. The word anatomy, too, is pure Greek and strictly speaking it means dissection. Because that which is dissected is a body, anatomy has come to mean the physique. The Greek word tor doctor, iatros, is also alive in, for example, the word psychiatry which signifies the healing of the psyche or the mind-soul and in the word pediatrics meaning the medical care of chil­ dren. We seem to like the glamour of poly-syllabic words, especially when they have a precision not found elsewhere. But plain words have their ow n kind of beauty, too. The fellow with the fancy vo­ cabulary may be trying to'blow smoke in your ear, as they once said picturesquely in the United States Navy. Smoke-in-the-ear leads to foggy thoughts and this world is no place for unclear thinking. The purpose of language is to convey thought— and emotion—from the mind of one person to the mind of another by the shortest possible route. What's wrong with plainly asking "what?” when you don.'t at first hear clearly what someone said. To ask "pardon?" as if "pardon" means "what" is af­ fected. Plain "what" is better. And bedroom is bet­ ter than boudoir. The phrase, "Senior Citizen" is really a nice nelly ism for elderly persons, and its use doesn't make them fell any younger. The words you use indicate your dislike of decep­ tion and your respect for truth. So think before you speak, knowing that by your speech will people Imow you.

Mrs. Allen, scheduled to give a book review, sta­ ted that she thought it was more interesting to hear about several books instead of centering the entire re­ port on one bit of writing. Her selection of books was varied and the ladies had their reading interest stimulated as she reviewed an autobiography, a hum­ orous writing, a mystery and a historical biography. Books reviewed included "Thirteen Days' by Rob­ ert F, Kennedy; "The Lost Queen" by Norah Lofts; " Due to Lack of Interest Tomorrow Has Been Cancell­ ed" by Irene Kempen; "Salzburg Connection” by Hel­ en Machines; "On Reflection" by Helen Hayes and the children's book which she read was "Su An" b y Doris Johnson. The meeting was held at the home of-Mrs. Kenneth Meade and the attendance was good. Mrs. N o r man Sandbrook, club president, presided at the bus­ iness meeting which preceded the book reviewing. The Flea Market, to be held in May, came up for discussion. Originally scheduled for Wednesday, May 21, it will now be held on Saturday of that week. May 24th, in Central Park.

A commis­ sion of 20% wiU be given to the club on aU items sold by the members. Only members may have items for sale, but the Flea Market is open to aU who wish to attend. In the event of rain, provisions wiU b e made to hold the sale inside somewhere, possibly the Masonic Temple. Mrs. R. E. White is chairman for the Flea Market. Although she was not at Wednes­ day's meeting, those who have questions may con­ tact her.

Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, March 27. 1969 �Co-operative program offers on-job-training Vernon Trowbridge, right, gives a few sugges­ tions to David Friddle as they work on a big GM truck at the Trowbridge garage in Vermontville. The Cooperative Occupational Training program developed by the Vocational Education depart­ ment of tne Maple Valley High School appears to be working out well for a number of students partici­ pating in the combined school and work program. Details of the program, which combines m-school education and supervised on-the-job training were set up by Michael Rockafellar of the high scliuol teaching staff, with the approval of the administra­ tion and the Board of Education. "The purpose of the program, " said Rockafellar, "is to provide in-school youths with some basic com­ petencies in selected occupations and to develop saleable skills based upon individual abilities and interests, and provides a coordinated work-study program combining supervised part-time employ­ ment and classroom instruction related to the stu­ dent's job. "This is the first year for such a training program, and thus far we have placed five boys. Next year wg hope to extend the program to include more stu­ dents. Presently the program was designed especi­ ally for seniors, and credit towards graduation will be given for satisfactory on-the-job training provid­ ed the students work a minimum of 15 hours per week. "The program can succeed only if there is strict cooperation on the part of the student, the parents, the employer and the schooL So far we are well Two credits towards graduation will be given to students who have been on a full-year program or one credit per semester. Two placements were made during the first se­ mester. Jerry Duffey, at the Charlotte Beacon Sales & Service Company, and David Friddle, at the Ver­ non Trowbridge Service Station in Vermontville where both are studying auto mechanics. During the second semester, Jim Sheldon started working at the Baby Bliss Company in Nashville, where he is work­ ing as stock boy and studying sewing machine me­ chanics; Chris Boughton, at the Maple Valley News office, and Cary Cranson at the Kroger store ’ Charlotte. Mrs. Lenka Porpaczi, the manager at the Baby Bliss in Nashville, checks on Jim Sheldon as he pre­ pares to cut tubing for edging garments made at the plant. Jim will also learn sewing machine mechan­ ics. Mis. Porpaczi has been manager at Nashville since November 1, and prior to that had been in charge of quality at the Middleville plant. She comes from Grand Rapids, is Hungarian by birth, and came to the United States nine years ago. Before coming to Grand Rapids, she was manager in a garment factory in Pennsylvania. and Kenneth, both of Bellevue.

Michigan Mirror "MAD SCRAMBLE" Predictably, a mad scramble is under way in the Michigan Legislature for tax dollars to meet the steadily rising costs of public and private education. The nig issue, and one which could generate as much heat as the 1967 income tax battle, is wheth­ er the state should start pumping dollars into the non-public school system. The focal point is a House measure that would al­ lot $40 million to parochial schools for teaching secular subjects such as reading, writing and arith­ metic. So intense is the fight, that Democratic leader is pitted against Democratic leader, and Republican against Republican. Various school organizations join the fray like their lives depended on the out­ come, as they may. chairman Lucille McCollough of the House Edu­ cation Committee, however, remains uncommit­ ted. Her unit must review the parochiaid issue and decide whether bills on the subject should go to the floor for debate. There's little doubt some sort of parochiaid bill will emerge from Mrs. McCollough's committee. House Speaker William A. Ryan, D-Detroit, made sure of that last January when he appointed a ma­ jority of to the com­ >f pro-parochiaid representatives repre — a— . 1— advocate of tax aid mittee.

There was good attendance at the Science Fair and it is hoped that this popular project will become a yearly affair. —Photo by Gladys Richardson Again in this second year of the McGregor grant program, as was done in the past, all area citizens are invited to visit their library and inspect the beau­ tiful new reference books. There are volumes too large to lift easily and some which are mere pamphlets. The art books are beauti­ fully illustrated and expensive. The electronics and nucleonics and chemical dictionaries are awesomely informative and expensive! There are about sixty of these wonderful new ref­ erence books and they cover many different fields of interest. All ages are sure to find something enter­ taining. The McGregor Foundation of Detroit has made this grant of $660. 00 a year for three years available to Michigan libraries serving from 3,000 to 5,000 p e r sons. The purpose is to improve basic reference col­ lections in small public libraries. The Putman Library has received gifts of books, magazines, record albums, money and floral decora­ tions during the last few weeks. The Lester Heacock family added five record al­ bums to the library record collection. Mt. Lloyd Roscoe of Battle Creek, sent another package containing a nice assortment of books. Mrs. Dennis Morawski, the Chesney girls, David Green and the Robert Beecher family have all given books lately. Mr. and Mrs. John Hamp brought in magazines to be added to the reference stacks or clipped for the vertical file. Mr. Jim Conner delivered a gift of money realized from the sale of books placed in his store by Mr. Zane Mead. Mrs. Lloyd Priddy provided a pretty bouquet for the table in the entranceway. Mr. Ward Sager, of Battle Creek, offered Putnam Library a seven-year collection of Fortune magazine and the freedom of choosing what the library needed from his bookshelves. Librarians Sheldon and Brown spent a pleasant evening choosing a quantity of vol­ umes about woodworking, metalwork, re-upholster­ ing, leathercraft, remodeling and building homes, history and mathematics. It is pleasant to know that so many people enjoy the library and want to add to everyone's enjoyment of it. > '• Honor Roll The following students intheMaple Valley Schools were listed on the Houor Roll for the Fourth SixWeek period.

That depends a lot on your sense of humor. If making tracks across a clean carpet to get to a telephone leaves your wife a little less than happy, then perhaps there’s nothing so funny about an extension telephone in the garage or workshop. Extension telephones make sense. They save time by letting you use a telephone wherever you are. Call your Michigan Bell Business Office or ask your telephone man. For as little as ninety-five cents a month (plus tax) you can put an extension in any funny old Michigan Bell place you d like.

Applicants may choose from nine session: offered. Reservations will be acknowledged on a first come, first served basis. Highway maps available. State Representative Stanley M. Powell (R-Ionia) is offering official 1969 Michigan Highway maps to his constituents. Powell’s 89th District covers all of Ionia County, the nine northeast townships in Barry County and four southeast townships in Kent County. The official Highway Department map has a new format this year which makes it easier to read. Sec­ ondary roads have been printed in a more subdued color, making major routes easier to locate, and city names have been printed with larger type. The map reflects highway changes made during 1968 and indicates new freeway construction now in progress. Representative Powell said the Highway Depart­ ment has allocated to him a limited supply of the new maps, which he will be glad.to send while the supply lasts. The maps are offered free of charge on a first-come, first-serve basis. To receive a copy write to Representative Powell at the State Capitol in Lansing. Counties participating in this year’s program are . $arry, Branch, Calhoun, Cass, Clinton, Eaton, Gratiot. Hillsdale, Ingham, Ionia, Kalamazoo, Kent, Livingston, Montcalm, St. Joseph and Van Buren.

Mao's end is near Approximately three years ago I predicted an in­ ternal revolution in Red China. The Cultural Revo­ lution and the rampage of the Red Guard on China's mainland brought concreteness to my predictions. A­ bout three months ago Chairman Mao Tse-Tung reached his 75th birthday. He attempted to call a constitutional convention in order to justify his ille­ gal action in the removal of Chinese communist President Liu Shao Chie. He not only removed Liu, he also put him on a people's public court trial, add­ ing humiliation to Liu and his family. During Mao's cultural revolution more than fifteen million regular Chinese communist party officials and members of their family were executed, physically tortured or excaped to Siberia. Today many provincial officials fear their lives and position. I think so-called Western experts in the Asian af­ fairs have finally recognized the serious impact of this cultural revolution purge. The realization did not come to light until the top Chinese communist spy leader in Europe defected to the United States. Too many native "China experts" dream of Mao's compromise position as being that of co-existence. The present Republican administration was also -op­ timistic. They anxiously awaited.the meeting of a Chinese communist ambassador in Poland on Sep­ tember 24. The Chinese communists official can­ cellation of the meeting was a slap to the friendly gesture of the Republican administration. Mao has not only publicly slapped the, U nited States in Poland, but he is also pursuing a very ag­ gressive step in attacking the Chinese-Russian bord­ er of Siberia. The borderline between China and Russia is as significant of a difference as the border between East Berlin and West Berlin. That is a ma­ jor escape route for purged Chinese communists to Russia. The border crises will continue to increase if Mao continues to pursue this reckless policy in the Far East. It is my firm belief, because of the unrest within the Chinese mainland. Chairman Mao will continue to pursue his reckless policy for the yean to come. Age is against him; he is seventy-five years old. His physical condition is also poor; he has suf­ fered several strokes and paralysis over half his body. His people are against him; his unfulfilled promise of the last twenty years are numerous. Most of all, his former loyal supporters are against him because he betrayed their loyalty and support during the Red Guard rampage; be directed the teen-age Red Guards rampage against his forty-year comrades in arms.

SO. �BAROMETER BACKSTREET bv jokn bou We, who have seen so many great men live,have seen another great man die. The death of General Eisenhower did not have the tragic overtones that some of the recent deaths of great man have had, but it is nonetheless, sobering and saddening and .serves to make us remember the the accomplishments of the man, which he lived. We, who have lived with giants, have seen giants die and President Eisenhower will no doubt go down in history as one of the giants - a great military leader and a great administrator.

I suppose the skiiets enjoy cling­ ing to winter this way, but I'd be just as happy to put the skiis away, to get out the hula hoops, the marbles and maybe the golf clubs. As I say, I have nothing against lions, it is just that a little bit of warm weather would appeal to me. We have had the two missin the picture of the "pickle-plcl paper. Mrs. Vem Staup called to say the two ladies pic­ tured were Mrs. Vade Johnson and Mrs. Floyd Kinny. She also told us that the Staup shown in the picture was not Merle but really was Vem Staup. Another identification of the two missing pickle­ pickers was made-by Mrs. Van Hom. She identifies the two girls as Mrs. Floyd Kinney and Mrs. Addie MoQuinney.

Max would Like to make up a display of meaningful antiques for Nash­ ville's Centennial celebration. I'm not real sure what Max has in mind. I offered to go and sit in his window, as a meaningful antique and a symbol of the past. Max considered this for a few minutes, but when be learned that I would require food, he decided he couldn't afford me - so if anyone has anything in the way of real oldmemorabelia that would particularly depict Nashville a century ago, Max would be real happy to display it in his w tn dow. Our Centennial Banquet of last Wednesday was a huge success so far as I could see. Attendance at the affair was more than 1 had hoped for and the high school cafeteria was filled. Everybody seemed to nave a good time at the dinner. Of course, most of us ate too much, but most of us said we wouldn't eat the next day to make up for it. The Jaycees Keystone Cops did themselves proud. They arrested a number of citizens on trumped up charges, produced a judge, tried the citizens, and fined them on the spot. If this spirit continues, 1 anticipate Nashville's centennial celebration is go­ ing to be one of the most outstanding that Michi­ gan has ever had. The High School is going to seem different when vacation is over and the kids come back because two of the students will not be returning to high school, but will be back in their homes in Chile. Patricio Vielman and Jorge Martinez, both of San Felipe, Chile, have been living in Nashville and have been going to the Maple Valley H igh School for the past ten weeks. Patricio lived wfih the Boughtons; Jorge lived with the Wayne Pennock family. Both families are going to miss their Chile­ an son and are sorry to see them go. It has been good for our community and it has been particularly good for our two homes to have had these boys and to see a little bit of another cul­ ture. These boys, like so many of the foreign stu­ dents we have nad at Maple Valley in the past, have made a place for themselves in our school and in our town and they will not be forgotten. I'm sure the Pennock family joins with the Bough­ ton family in thanking everyone in the community them. This can do more for world peace and world understanding than anything I know. I'm sorry they don't let Communist kids from Russia or anywhere for that matter, come to our country on an exchange program. I’m sure it would do much to increase the understanding between our two philosophies.

Did they have blue or grey cuffs? How tall were they, and what kind of hats did they wear? There may not seem like the most pressing prob­ lems in the world. But when Dirk Gringhuis agreed to paint a mural of the French period for Fort Michilimackinac, he found answers to these ques­ tions were few and incomplete. Gringhuis, curator of exhibits at the Michigan State University Museum, has been muralist at Fort Machinac since 1963. In 1967 be decided to solve the mystery of French uniforms once and for all. He traveled to Canada, and corresponded regularly with several museums, 'fora and scholars. \ His resulu were recently published in a pamphlet of the Mackinac Island State Park Commission. His "In grey-White and Blue" is 12th in the Mackinac History series, regularly distributed to history pub­ lications, universities and libraries throughout the country. On completing his study, he immediately cor­ rected the uniform of the museum figure in French uniform. He changed the pewter buttons to brass, added grey-white cuffs and a buff belt. French soldiers averaged about five feet tall. They often borrowed Indian gear when their own uniforms wore out, or when the weather turned cold. Pictured above are members of the Hecker Agency basketball team which just re­ cently won the Hastings City League Championship. From left to right, back row, are: Roger Stuhrt, Duane McDonald, Rex Balch, Gregory Hoeffler and Larry Lenz. In the front row are Bill Gibbs, Jerry Reese, Merle Martin and Larry Filter. The team won their contest with the E. W. Bliss team in tournament play. Last Tuesday night they played in the District Tournament at Lakewood. They lost to Ionia by a score of 78 to 73. ’ These men, many of them school teachers, took time to play on this team along with their busy schedule. The team is appreciative to Bill Hecker for sponsoring the team, for buying the new uniforms and for offering his encouragement and support to the members.

For Prompt Service CALL COLLECT 374-8236 Ralph Vander Werf ELECTRICIAN Lake Odessa, Michigan ATTITUDES CHANGE Public attitudes toward abortion law reform are changing in favor of removing some of the ancient restrictions, say two state Senators. To reflect this sentiment. Senators Gilbert Bursley, R-Ann Arbor, and John E. McCauley, D-Wyandotte, are sponsoring a pair of bills in the legisla­ ture to liberalize the abortion law. One measure would give women the right to lea? gle abortion for any reason, including family plan­ ning, provided the operation was performed by a licensed physician in an accredited hospitaL The other would not go that far. It would limit legal abortion to cases where the mother's physical or mental health is endangered; where pregnancy resula from rape or incest; or there is reason to believe a deformed child will be born. Bursley and McCauley said they offered the bills together to give lawmakers a choice between going part of the way or all the way down the abortion reform path. Presently the life of the mother must be in dan­ ger before abortion in Michigan is legally permit­ ted. The Senators say this is unrealistic. "The vast majority of the people of Michigan would welcome legislation on this subject for hu­ manitarian and pragmatic reasons," said a special Senate study committee recently. Tne committee recommended liberalization of abortion laws. It noted that several other states moved in that direction two yean ago. Bursley said he talked with doctors, lawyen, nurses, housewives, social workers, sociologisa and theologians about the subject and concluded that change is badly needed. McCauley said be would prefer the Legislature remove all restrictions because the question of whether to abort a pregnancy " is a personal one between physician and mother". He noted the bin would not impose mandatory standards on anyone. The Senators' effort has tne backing of the American Public Health Association, which re­ pons illegal abortion is a major cause of illness, disability and death to tremendous numbers of women every year. About 100,000 illegal abonions are performed in the United States every year, according to associa­ tion estimates. McCauley said it would be "like an ostrich sticking la head in the sand” to ignore the danger they present. Bursley said states that have liberalized abortion laws in recent years have received many applica­ tions from women in other states. He said this is indicative of the feeling of the people. Abortions are considered safe through the first 16 weeks of pregnancy by most medical experts. After that, they become more difficult. Association officials say one-fourth to onethird of all maternal deaths in the United States are caused by illegal abortions. They say that statistically, a legal abortion before 16 weeks by a qualifier: doctor is safer than a normal pregnan­ cy. The legislative battle over the abortion issue could rival that shaping up over state tax aid to parochial schools in the 1969 session. The Roman Catholic Church in Michigan began organizing opposition to abortion law change last fafi. A group called LIFE, (Life, Individual, Fam­ ily, Education) was formed in parishes across the state. The Catholic Church teaches that abortion, un­ der any circumstance, is the same as murder in the eyes of God. FEWER AND BIGGER Farms are fewer, and more - - larger ,, . .. productive . in, Michigan, says Dr. Karl T. Wright, MSU agriculture economist. He estimates there are now about 80,000 farms in the state, a drop of 16% from the last official census in 1964. The amount of land tilled is dropping too. Fig­ ures indicate that 18 million acres under production in 1940 dropped to 13.6 by 1964. Wright expecu the reduction to continue to 10 million by 1980. Michigan's record is similar to other states. There is a general decline in the number of farms with farms growing larger. Efficiency in farm machinery permiu bigger prof­ its, but a farmer must have large amounts of land to , work if he is to realize benefits of new meth­ ods. New techniques and careful management pro­ duce much more food and profit per acre than ever before, but they leave no room for small farmers who continue the methods of the "old fam­ ily farm ". More than half of Michigan's small farmers have other means of employment. Wright says the 56%, mostly in the lower part of the state, work at jobs in addition to farm work.

Through it all, however, it re­ mains wonderful in a democratic society for the truth to come out at the end. I believe newspapers rank above other mass media. At the present time they are able to present various individual's qualifi­ cations and performance with less sensationalism and emotionalism. For instance California's super­ intendent of public instruction. Dr. Max Rafferty, advocated " bomb them back to the Stone Age" tac­ tics while campaigning against Senator Allan Cran­ ston for the United States Senate. We discover Raf­ ferty's "flat feet" excuse exempted him from mili­ tary service during the Second World War. He com­ pares to the draft dodgers of the present time. It is easy for a fifty-year-old man to be a warmonger when his own life need not be committed. In similar situations we also discover Senator Eu­ gene McCarthy would rather support a strong south­ ern conservative as senatorial leader of his party to a northern liberaL At the same time we also discov­ er many young college rebels are demanding higher picketing wages because of their high living costs. These demands have made college demonstrations a profession instead of a conviction. It is vitally important for the nation's mass media not to manipulate the public's emotions for sensa­ tional purposes but to use reason, logic and depth research to make an informative and educational presentation to the public. Our democratic system is able to survive when voters are well informed of the parties' platforms and each candidate's real qual­ ifications and convictions. Charles L. Irish of Nashville has been elected to membership in the American Angus Association at St. Joseph, Missouri, according to an announce­ ment by Lloyd D. Miller, secretary of the associa­ tion.

BAROMETER I don't think most of us realize how true it is that we are living on the edge of a cliff, neve; knowing at just what time we are going to fall over. All civilization is on the brink of disaster. At any time somebody could push a panic button that could set off the big bomb that could start the end of the entire world. Of course, man has always lived with natural dis­ asters. From the time men first walked out of the caves they have had to put up with floods, wind­ storms, earthquakes and the like. Right now they are saying that California is going to fall into the Pacific. Because we never know from one minute to t he next when something might happen the civil de­ fense people have suggested that each and every family have a battery operated transistor AM-FM radio so that they can keep in touch and know what is going on and what should be done. At long last, springtime seems to have come to Michigan. Easter Sunday was a nice bright spring day and it is just about time. As 1 remember it. fev jo'in boughton March did come in like a lamb and it sure went out cold — like a cold lion. But now the little girls are jumping rope, little boys are playing marbles and the baseball season has got under way with the tossing out of the first ball by the President. The ground is soft under foot and the river is high. While we didn't have a rough winter we sure did have a late spring. It seems to me the buckets have been hung on the trees for two months now. From this I would assume we have had a good syrup seas­ on, though I'm not certain this is true. I suspect the season is about over now and the trees will be bud­ ding. Spring sports schedule has started at the high school and among the new sports this year is golf This is the first tune our school has tried to have a golf team and it will take a bit of doing to get it started. The team is in need of some equipment. Coach Bill Gibbs is asking anyone who has odd golf clubs he wants to get rid of to call him. The coach will Uke them off your hands and put them to good use training the new golfers. Some lucky lady in our area is going to have a free trip to Las Vegas. That is the prize in a con­ test being run right now by Maker's Supermarket... four days and three nights. This trip sound like a real winner. Let's hope the lucky lady is also lucky with the slot machines in the swinging town.

Dear John, Was just going over the Maple Valley News of March 13 - (You can see we don't discard them right away) in the article, Board Considers Solu­ tions - there is a paragraph stating the Maple Val­ ley Jaycees were given permission to build a new score board at the" Vermontville athletic field. I wonder if you knew the one that was placed there on the completion of the field was tn mem­ ory of our son, Jimmy Bill who died in June of 1 1955. At the time we furnished the material arRf the shop class made the score board. There was at that time a plaque attached to it. We would appreciate it very much if the plaque could be returned to us.

Mrs. Eunice Priddy, chairman for the Art Show, conducted the meeting. The Show will be held on Saturday, June 28th, outdoors, on the lawn near and around Putnam Li­ brary. A $2 entry fee will be charged for all ex hibitors. All media will be acceptable for showing and judging will be held of the entries. Each per­ son is responsible for his or her own exhibit. A spec­ ial prize will be offered for the best painting de­ picting the Centennial theme. Ribbons and prizes will be offered in various categories. Those artists who wish to do so are encouraged to attend the show dressed in the Centennial theme. This is not necessary, however. » All persons interested in exhibiting art work are encouraged to contact Mrs. Priddy for details. Those wno are interested in helping in any way with the show, either the preliminary plans or dur­ ing the day of the show, are also encouraged to contact Mrs. Priddy. It was also decided to hold a drawing for various art work which would be contributed by the local members exhibiting. Mrs. Lillian Garlinger will make arrangements for securing these contributions. Also discussed was the possibility of securing prize money to be offered to the best entries. In a previous contact with the Centennial Committee, a contribution was promised which will be e a r marked for the prize given for the Centennial paint­ ing contest. The Nashville Chamber of Commerce offered centennial plates and coins for prizes. Fur­ ther contacts will be made in an attempt to secure approximately $100 prize money to be offered. Do­ nations will be accepted from individuals or groups who are interested in helping along this way. The members of the committee felt that in offering prize money, and having the show judged by some­ one trained in this field, the show would be that much more professional and attract more viewers and exhibitors. Barry farm designated as Centennial Farm A farm owned by Bruce and Dorotha Brumm of 1640 S. Price Rd., Nashville, has been designated as a Centennial Farm by the Michigan Historical Commission. The farm, located in Castleton Township, Barry County, has been in the possession of the family since 1868, It was originally purchased February 17, 1868 by George and Elizabeth Brumm, grand­ parents of the present owners, from Daniel Staley and wife. According to Secretary of State James M. Hare, whose department directs the activities of the His­ torical Commission, the Centennial farm program in Michigan was established in 1948. Since that time, certificates and metal markers have been a­ warded to more than 2, 500 Michigan farms. The program is administered under the direction of the Commission, while markers are provided by Detroit Edison and Consumers Power Companies. According to Hare, a Centennial Farm is one which has been in the continuous possession ofnhe same family for 100 years or more. For this pur­ pose, the Historical Commission considers a farm to be 10 or more acres having estimated sales of more than $50 yearly, or less than 10 acres but having estimated sales of $250 annually. Persons owning farms who wish to apply for Cen­ tennial Farm certificates are asked to write for an application to Centennial Farm Program, Michi­ gan Historical Commission, Department of Sure, Lansing, Michigan 48918. Photos Available Prints of many of the Centennial pictures may be seen at the Maple Valley Floral Store on Main Street. Prints are available of photographs which appear in the Maple Valley News, either those taken by Mrs. Gladys Richardson or those ta­ ken by the News photographers. Prints are $2.00 for a 5x7 reprint and $3. 00 for an 8x10. These are being made available, particularly with the Centennial pictures, be­ cause of the many requests we have received. Sylvester Van Horn, 86, of Sherman Street, Nashville, poses with the fine specimens obuined o n his recent trapping trip on the Muskegon River. Mr. Van Horn is shown with the skins of otter and beav'ej. he caught as he trapped between Clare and Osceola counties. Mr. Van Horn stated that the season was from March 20 to April 7 and he caught the allowed amount: 4 beavers and one otter. After pre­ paring the hides, Mr. Van Hern said they would be sold for approximately $25 each. —Photo by Chris Boughton Village experiences money pinch Until monies start coming into the general fund, the village of Nashville will meet only its payroll expenses for the next few weeks. This was the de­ cision of the council at its Thursday night's meet­ ing. Presently the general fund money is about ex­ hausted, but within the next few weeks state mon­ ies, sales tax, and other reimbursements will b e coming in and by mid-summer the taxes will be due. Meanwhile, a tighten-up-the-belt policy will be in force. It's like a family budget, some pigeon holes are empty until dad's paycheck replenishes the larder. The police department made its report for the past couple of weeks in which the department gave eight assists to other departments; handled five mov ■ ing traffic violations; issued a number of parking tickets; policed one property damage accident; checked out two dog complaints; gave one citizen's assist and participated in one court trial Acting Police Chief, Kendall Wilcox, asked that the village request the Michigan State Highway De­ partment, when they come in to paint the lines a­ long Main Street (M 66) to paint a double yellow line from Washington Street south to the railroad track. This will relieve some of the traffic prob­ lems when cars attempt to pass, and swing over in­ to the left land of traffic. In a letter from J. Robert Smith, who has served on the Lakeview Cemetery Board for 33 years, he stated that "at the request of your village presi­ dent, (Harold Christiansen) I am tendering my res­ ignation as of April 11. " The resignation was ap­ proved,- with regret, by the counciL This is the second cemetery board member to resign in the past two weeks. Vern Bivens was also asked to re­ sign by Mr, Christiansen. After Thursday night's council meeting Christiansen told the press his reason for requesting the resignations was for age and health reasons, and said both-men had done an exceptionally fine job during their tenure. During the council session Christiansen asked the council to approve two replacements to the cemetery board, that of Otto Dahm for a period of two years, and William Sunt ken as treasurer for three years. Approval was unanimous. The third member of the board, Harry Johnson who is board president, has one more year to serve on his pres­ ent appointment. Stewart Graham, recently appointed to the Wa­ tershed Commission, reported on work of this de­ partment, and told of future state plans regarding reservoirs and flood control projects. He will at­ tend the annual State meeting to be held in Lan­ sing on May 8. Last year Harold Christiansen who is president of the Nashville Maple Syrup Association, and who processes maple syrup during the spring season, pur­ chased maple trees with his wages and donated them to the village to replace some which had to be removed. This year he repeated the procedure and 38 more trees will be set out. Other persons are showing an interest in the project and are mak­ ing donations toward the purchase of more trees. • On April 15 the village president, the Supt. of Public Works, Jim Erwin, Supt. Carroll Wolff of the Maple Valley schools, state engineers and rail­ road executives, will meet at the Reed Street rail­ road crossing to discuss conditions and improve­ ments which could be made at the three crossings within the village. Due to an apparent lack of interest in leadership for Nashville Boy Scouts, the lights and water are to be turned off at the Boy Scout Hall on Middle Street which is village-owned. The Lions Club is withdrawing its sponsorship for the present, but it is hoped some other organization will become inter­ ested in the Scouts. Only a handful of boys turn out for the meetings, and parent interest appears low at the present time. The paving of Maple Street from Main to State, (300 feet), and the area on South Main from Pearl to Casgrove is to be accomplished, hopefully be­ fore the Nashvilje Centennial celebration June 26, 27 and 28. Estimated figures are in the neighbor­ hood of $6,000. The village hall asked permission from the State Highway department to display a Centennial banner across Main Street. They hope to have the banner in place by May 1. Approval for burying a capsule in Central Park on Main Street just east of the circular sidewalk, con­ taining information pertinent to village activities during its first 100 years, was given, instructions are that the capsule cannot be dug up until the year 2069. A marker, which formerly stood at the Put­ nam Library, will be erected at the spot. The village will provide for a trash pickup from time to time this spring. They asked that aU trash be placed in a container at the curb, but do not place anything in the gutters, as it hinders drainage. The Nashville-Vermontville Jaycees are planning a "Clean Up" along the Nashville Highway between the two communities, with each community-repre­ sentatives working toward the Maple Valley High School building which is midway between the vil­ lages. Other matters concerned with insurance on village equipment, a drinking fountain to be in place by the Centennial, a discussion of village equipment and insurance matters on village employees com­ pleted the agenda. �■ ntennial . isWSCS PLANS BIRTHDAY PARTY Nashville United Methodist Churches on Fi im and gifts presented.

The village was named for a Gar­ audus Nash who was a civil engineer helping build the New York Central railroad through this village 100 years ago. While Garaudus Nash never lived here, he suggested to the townspeople that the vil­ lage be named after Um, and apparently enough of ' the early pioneers approved the idea to call th is , community Nashville. To the Samuel L. Hamilton family,' the Carroll Hamilton family now of Lansing but many years residents of Nashville, and to the children of their deceased sister, Mrs. Ina Hamilton-DeCker, the Centennial has special meaning. Their greatgrand­ mother, Nancy Nash-Hamilton, was a sister of Gar­ audus Nash. ‘ Samuel Nash, who lived from 1806 to 1875, had nine children, including a son Garaudus and a daughter, Nancy. Nancy married Samuel M. Ham­ ilton, and they had a son whom they named Nathan Augustus Seymore Hamilton, whose initials spelled "NASH". Nathan married Araminta Kennedy, and their son, Clyde, was the father of Samuel L., Car­ roll A. and Ina Hamilton.

Mrs. W. A. Vance of Charlotte announced the plans for celebrating Michigan Week which includ­ ed a Heritage Day dinner at the Charlotte Masonic Temple, May 20. There will be special events each day ano the Historical Society expects to be actively envolved with some of them. • Mr. John Wilde, 92, of Charlotte, told about his grandfather who helped build warehouses and docks at Greece, New York for the loading of cargo to be carried on the Erie Canal between Albany and Buf­ falo. The Bostwicks, who named Charlotte, lived across the street from the Wilde family in Rochest­ er, N. Y. at that time. Mr. Ed Morey of Charlotte, brought some o 1 d maps for the society to observe. Mr. Stewart Graham of Charlotte, president of the society, and Mrs. Graham gave a short talk a­ bout their recent tour of Mexico and showed color­ ed slides of Acapulco and other places where they had traveled. They also stopped at Charlotte, Tex­ as, and said it was an oil town with buildings on Main Street that resembled the setting for a western movie. . A social hour was spent enjoying refreshments served by Mrs. Bertha Sederlund of Charlotte; Mrs. Paulita Lisle and Mrs. Ozelma Shance of Potter­ ville. More plans for Michigan Week will be made at the next meeting of the society on Thursday, May 8 at 7:30 p. m. in the court house on the ground floor. The program will be. conducted by Mr. Vai Ber­ ryman, of Williamston, Curator of Historical Arti­ facts at the Michigan State University Museum. The enthusiasm is gradually rising as the time grows closer to Nashville's Centennial dates. A new shipment of ties is on hand, also derbies and top hats. Derbies are also available for the lit­ tle guys. Dresses and vests may still be ordered through Geneva Brumm, Centennial secretary;orders should be made soon as shipments are now com­ ing more slowly, because other towns are having Centennials . Bumper stickers are available to ad­ vertise the Centennial. — Twenty-one groups have now been formed, which consists of a total number of 300 persons. .In addition nearly 200 persons are on registration cards only. The names are as follows: Basement Savers, VFW Slickies, Gas House Gang, Thornapple Valley Belles, The Bearded Jay Gents, Life Savers,Boost­ er Belles, The Odd Balls, Laurel Belles, Hot Flam­ ing Belles, Fargo Group, Chamber Maids, Glamour Garter.Cehtennial Belles, Sunshine Sallies, Cen­ tury Belles, The Pussycats, Jaycette Bustles, Town & Country Gals, Bar Boys, Saloon Slicks, and The Bar Belles.

Another year has become history for the Town­ ship. As time goes on township work becomes more diverse and in many cases more confusing. As more changes and programs are added the time involved ■ and the expense to the township are increased. This report covers the projects that have been active in Castleton Township for the past year and in parti­ cular the part the Supervisor has played in these many areas. One of the major projects this year was the es­ tablishment of a completely new dumpsite. This was worked out in cooperation with Maple Grove Township. Over the years the two townships have had marry projects in common and we feel that a very good working relationship exists between the two municipalities. Some eight acres were pur­ chased on the Ralph Prudden farm for a dump site. Many days were spent in getting the dump ready for use. This involved grading, making a whole new road, measuring property lines, preparing a deed to the property. We appreciated tne help and cooperation of the County Road Commission in grading and widening the approach as well as culverts and gravel furnish­ ed to the dump. Since opening of the dump in Sep­ tember, we have had compliments on furnishing this service to the townships. The Township Board was taken on a tour of various sites and just before the dump was opened to the public I had 21 calls from people looking for a place to dump their junk. Since that we have not lacked for customers. The dump is open only on Saturdays 8 to 5 and other days the gate is locked. The ambulance service has worked out very smoothly and we feel that the people appreciate the service rendered. The past year brought us 98 calls and at the present time, April 4, 1969, the number stands at 107 calls made since the start of the service on March 1, 1968. We feel that the people want local service at a reasonable rate and • that is what we are tiying to maintain. Now a report on a few of the other areas that I have beenznivolved in. Up until January 1, 1969 I served as chairman of the County Equalization Committee. This was educational as weli as chal­ lenging; however, we feel that county assessments are on a more equal basis through the use of State equalized values. During the year the two town­ ship trustees were appointed Fence Viewers. They have made a few checks on fence lines in question and fences that need rebuilding. Some of these fence disagreements have been solved; others are still in the process. We have had considerable dis­ cussion with the Penn Central engineers as to the condition of their fence. This is in the process of completion at the present time. The supervisor was put in charge of Dog Damage. Two calls were checked out. The county drain, known as the Witte Drain was reopened and the expense of same spread in the taxes of those affected. Several zon­ ing checks were made with County Zoning Admin­ istrator. Trailers and Mobile homes are becoming more of a problem, but so far we have been able to solve problems here satisfactorily, we hope. Much time was spent in meetings on the new state wide plat law. No new plats have been put in the township dur­ ing the year but when there are stiffer requirements will have to be met. Considerable work was done on cemeteries. The price of lots was changed to $50.00 per half lot; an $100.00 for a full lot in all of the three cemeteries within the township. Flag markers were checked and painted. The Barry Coun­ ty Historical Tour stopped at the Barryville Ceme­ tery to view the grave of Chief Asquesah.. Arthur Morgan and Howard Hobert are taking care of the cemeteries. Kalamo MRS. WM.

Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Howenstein of Vermontville, spent last week visiting their daughter and husband, Ml and Mrs. Victor Lilley. They toured through Kentucky, Tennessee and Alabama, and stayed in Mountain Brook, outside of Birmingham, Alabama. The spring shrubs were all in full bloom. On their way home, they visited relatives in Indianapolis, Indiana. .

Road work consisted mostly of repair and snow re­ movaL Wc do have a black top project in the mak­ ing for 1969, but plans are still a little indefinite due to the cost of roadwork of any nature. During ' the year the property known as the Holman ArtGal­ lery was purchased as possible site for a new fire barn, we hope, in the near future. A petition from property owners at Thornapple Lake regarding boat control was duly processed and turned over to the Department of Natural'Resources for action. All supervisors took a county road and bridge touL Plans are under way to replace all five of the old river bridges. It looks like Greggs Cross­ ing bridge might be the last to go and when that happens it win be a major project for the township. A naif day was spent with conservation officers Burns in checking some of the dug channels within the township. We have had a very large change in real estate ownership. This has required many days of my time in checking addresses, property descrip­ tions and values. As good times continue, this requires an ever in­ creasing amount of time on the supervisor's pan. Twenty-one building permits were issued and this, together with the building in Nashville, has tended to increase the total township valuation considerably. I alsoserved on the County Social Services Commit­ tee where I was known as the only one out of five to oppose a building authority. I think that the public should have a chance to vote on large expenditures such as buildings. Welfare becomes an ever increasing problem. What connection I have had with it I begin to won­ der if it can be stopped. However, I have takenseveral people in to help them apply for welfare aid, and in each of these cases I feel that they are justi­ fied or I would not help them apply in the f i rs t place. I feel that we have a person, Wayne Pennock, who will represent our township effectively on the County Board of Commissioners. I have enjoyed working with Wayne and he has attended several of our board meetings. I attended two Michigan town­ ship Association conventions. Spent considerable time correcting the township map made by Rockford Map Co. An entirely new printing system is being set up for the tax roU. This seems to be a job that never quite catches up with property changes. Time has been spent with J udd Cooley in checking changes in property within the village limits of Nashville. Judd andj must check not only for identical assessments, but also identi­ cal senior citizen and veteran exemptions. New legislation brought higher exemptions to veterans. In addition, I served on the election board, counciled with village council, served as ambulance secretary and treasurer, attended an area-wide su­ pervisor’s meeting at the Lakewood High School, served on Board of Review four days where we got a few complaints as to high taxes and valuations. In view of the present real estate market we have no choice but to increase valuations under the present law. The property tax has about squeezed itself out and we need something to replace iL Board meetings attended, 39; committee meet­ ings, 34; letters sent out, 742; letters received,358; calls made out, 402; calls at house, 114;telephone out, 202; telephone calls coming in, 459; estate appraisals, 11; gun permits signed, 6; building per­ mits, 21; miles for the county, 679 and miles for the township, 2,476.

Both girls plan to attend Lansing Community Col­ lege next fall on State of Michigan scholarships. In announcing the honor students, high school principal Leon Housler said he had had close associ­ ation with {he 82 members of the graduating class, inasmuch as these were his first students when he be­ came a member of the teaching staff of the Maple Valley district back in 1963. In commenting on the fact the girls swept the field in taking the top hon­ ors he said; "This doesn't indicate there aren’t smart boys in the class. The biggest asset the giris have over the boys is they seemed to be character­ ized by, or attentive to tiny details, more carefully followed instructions and completed their assign­ ments, and it paid off. And had we needed to in­ clude one more name in the "top ten" it would have been a boy." In the class of 83 there are 42 girls.

It was delightful to sit in the audience and watch the performance and I'm sure everyone in the audience thoroughly enjoyed the production. At the same time, the kids in the cast seemed to be having a real ball entertaining us. They did a real professional job of it too. One of the nicest things about the musical, aside from the fact that it seems so much fun to produce, is that it gave so many an opportunity to perform. Dorothy Carpenter tells me that the cast included almost one hundred people. W ith this many people on the stage, one would hardly expect enough left over for the audience, but, on Friday night at least, they were playing to standing room only. So, while.they are giving our Tony awards on Broadway this week, I would like to nominate our school with its production of Lil Abner for an award of some sort. I think it was wonderful. Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope that Satur­ day is a nice bright, sunshiny, warm day. It seems this is the least we could ask We only nave the Sy­ rup Festival one day out of the year and it sure would be convenient if somebody could arrange to have some nice weather for it. I guess we haven't had it too bad in the past. As I can remember it, most of the years that I have been here have had fairly good weather for the Syrup Festival. So, as I say, let's keep our fingers crossed. These people who put the festival on work hard for an entire year to make this the success it turns out to be. Meeting planned to discuss tractor pull A meeting will be held April 24th at 8:00 p. m. in the Junior-Senior High School Agricultural room (C-4) to make a decision regarding the type of trac­ tor pulling contest which will be held at the Nash­ ville Centennial. Mr. Mick Rockafellow, Vo-Ag Instructor at the Maple Valley School, is in charge of the meeting and urges all who have an opinion in regard to the rules, etc,, for the coming event, try to attend Thursday's meeting. There have been some sug­ gestions for weight changes for the pulling contest and also a change from straight pull to percentage pull.

A few Aborigines have moved out of their area and become farm workers, ministers, and a few nurses, Sometimes a farm worker will walk to the edge of the ranch, take his clothes off and walk away to his tribe. A few days later he may return and if be finds his clothes where be left them, he says his boss still wants him. He will dress and return to work as if he had never left.

Workers included Master "Bo" and Miss Becky Erwin aiding their father Jim. Misses Laurie ano Beth Carmoney aiding their father. Bob, Master Timmy and Miss Debbie Laurie aiding their father, Marv. Master Patrick and Miss Cheryl Gardner aid­ ing their father Bob. Other Jaycee workers were Rex Balch, Larry Lenz, Ron Rosin, Tim Smith and Jer­ ry Reese. ' The Maple Valley Jaycees wish to thank the vil­ lage of Nashville for the use of their truck. After a few hours on the highway, the Jaycees realize that "every little bit hurts," but truly be­ lieve that a little bit of work helps.

RANDALL Syrup queen's essay The following essay was written by Karen Wil­ more, the 196ff Vermontville Maple Syrup Queen. Miss Wilmore lists her interests as 4-H, Pep Club, Girl's Athletic Association, horseback riding, showing cattle, cycling, drawing and painting and sewing. She is a junior in the Maple Valley High School and is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Wilmore, of Route 1, Vermontville. Being a native of Vermontville, I learned about making maple syrup at an early age through school and by visiting sugar shanties. Every spring we would look forward to seeing the syrup pails hang­ ing on the trees. Through studies at school, I learned that the In­ dians were the first to make a form of maple syrup. This knowledge they passed on to white settlers. The Sugar Maple also known as the sugar, rock or hard maple is the kind of maple tree that is tapped for sap. This tree grows in various parts of the United States and Canada. The manufacturing of sugar and syrup is important in Vermont, New York, Canada ana also here in Michigan. Other New Eng­ land states make syrup also, Maple syrup is made in late winter and early spring, depending on the weather. When the nights are cold and the days are warm, the sap starts flowing. When this happens, the trees are tapped and covered pails are hung to prevent getting dirt in the sap. The pails hang about three feet from the ground and a metal or wooden spout drains the sap from the tree. After the sap is gathered, it i* boiled in a form of big pan until the water that is in the sap is boiled away into steam. The sap is then maple syrup and it is strained and put in cans . or made into sugar. Vermontville has always been a leader in the production of maple syrup and sugar. Annually the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival is held to give , syrup producers a chance to sell their syrup and for the people of Vermontville to get together and have a good time. The syrup is sold in all kinds of containers and it also is graded in competition to see who has. made the purest and best syrup and sugar. The Syrup Festival is advertised in newspa­ pers, on television and over radio. This brings guests from many states and also guests of many ages. The day is always highlighted by two parades and also a queen contest. The winner of this con­ test goes on to represent Vermontville in many > parades and in the National Maple Syrup Queen ■’ contest. The queen always invites the people she meets to visit Vermontville on the day of the fes­ tival. Vermontville also has an association of syrup makers who represent Vermontville in nat­ ional competition. To sum everythin small town, Vermoi one of the best known and one of the most well liked towns in the coun­ try. The reason is the production of good maple syrup and the hospitality that is always shown at the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival and every day of the week. Lumber & Coal Co.

X72-1M2 IT’S FESTIVAL TIME. AGAIN! VERMONTVILLE’S 29th ANNUAL MAPLE SYRUP FESTIVAL is coming up SATURDAY, APRIL 26 Once again spring has arrived, and with the freez­ ing nights and warm days of late winter, Vermont­ ville’S maple trees started producing sap to provide the town with the product that has labelled it "The Sweetest Little Town on Earth." Therqjs a smaller than average supply of syrup so far this year, but maple producers will be selling syrup and maple products on Main Street Festival bay as usual. Everyone here has started planning to make this Festival one of the very best. Kkren Wilmore, 17 • and a junior at Maple Valley schools, has been chosen to reign over this year’s festivities. Last year's queen Karen Benedict will represent Michi­ gan in the National Maple Syrup Queen contest to be held in New York State soon. Governor Milliken has been asked to crown the new queen, and we hope be can be with us Festival Day. The "sap house" or "sugar shanty" will be open Festival Day to let you see the process of boiling sap. Instead of sap, which spoils if held over, water will be used, but-it will show just how syrup is pro­ cessed. Plan to visit Maple Manor to see this inter­ esting process (in abbreviated form time-wise)! Pancakes, sausages, and pure maple syrup will be served by the American Legion and Band Boosters all day. The local churches start serving delicious dinners around noon. Hot sandwiches are sold by the Eastern Star Chapter, and the Sugar Hut Restaur­ ant will be open all day for meals. If you plan to bring your camper and spend th weekend, the nearest campiqg facilities are at Camp Thornapple, Inc. on Tnornapple Lake. We suggest you contact them at Route 1, Nashville, Michigan 49073. The nearest state park is Yankee Springs, Barry County. All the surrounding towns have motel rooms at reasonable rates; Charlotte, Hastings, Nashville, Lansing and Battle Cicek are less Than 30 miles away. Saturday. April 26 is the BIG DAY!

Highlighting the morning activities was the coro­ nation of the 1969 maple syrup queen. Miss Karen Wilmore, 17, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Norman Wilmore of Shavtown Road, Route 1. Karen, a brownette with brown eyes, is a junior in the Maple Valley High School. She was crowned by the retir­ ing Vermontville queen. Miss Karen Benedict who last month was named Miss Michigan Maple Syrup queen, and who took second place in the National Maple Syrup Queen contest held earlier this month in New York State. The girls were introduced by high school princi­ pal, Leon Housler who also introduced the alternate queen, Maurene Viele, and the members of the queen's court, Kathy Barrette, Nancy W innie and Linda Wright. Other forenoon events included the official wel­ come by the village president, Vernon Trowbridge and remarks by the Vermontville Maple Syrup Fes­ tival president, Mrs. Amos Haigh, and the presi­ dent of the Chamber of Commerce, Kenyon Pea­ body. The Children's Parade took place at 10:30 a. m. and there were approximately a dozen e n tries. First place went to Andrew Joostberns, 8, his brother, Tony, 7 and Joel Merchant, 8, whose en­ try was a replica of the Vermontville Municipal Sugar Shanty. Second place went to the Burr Hartenburg children for their "Sock It To 'Em--with Maple Syrup products," and third place went to Donald Martin whose entry was a combined Michigan Week and Maple Syrup display. Honorable mention was given Geri Lehman who was dressed like a pancake, and Greg Sebral and Craig Link for the "Sap House." Judges were Mrs. Austin Zimmerman and Mrs. Rex Balch, both from Vermontville. During the morn­ ing and afternoon music was furnished by the Marsh­ mallow Conspiracy, a 'rock and roll group from Lansing, and the Allgaier Family, a musical group from Kalamazoo. At noon announcement was made of the winners in the syrup and foods competition. Syrup produc­ ers and their wives compete for these honors. Ma­ ple Syrup production is a family effort in this area, and in the contest both the husbands and wives have a chance to display their skills in various lines. Mrs. Carl Gearhart took four first places, in ma­ ple syrup, maple candy, maple cream and the sweepstakes. She also took second place for maple sugar and in the miscellaneous division. Another big winner was Mrs. Leo Malcuit who took three firsts, in maple sugar, maple pie and maple cook­ ies; a second in maple cakes, .third for maple can­ dy, maple cream and the sweepstakes, and fourth in the miscelleneous division. George Hubka took second for his maple syrup. Archie Martin took third for maple syrup and also a second in the sweepstakes and third in the miscel­ P laneous division. Amos Haigh took fourth place for maple syrup; a first in the miscelleneous division; second for maple cream and fourth for maple sugar and in the sweepstakes. Willard Hubka took fifth for maple syrup. Other winners were Mrs. Harold Benedict who took third for her maple sugar and Mrs. Olive Corey who took a first for her maple cake and second for maple candy. Mrs. Carl Gearhart who took four firsts said she had made 1, 200 gallons of syrup this year. "This is better than the past two years," said Mrs. Gearhart, but not one of tne best. I started tapping early, Feb­ ruary 15, and started making by the time we got the last of the buckets hung. This continued through the first week in March, then it turned cold—and nothing for two weeks. ” The Dig event of the afternoon was the Grand Parade. The new queen and her court were featur­ ed in the parade, and there were ten floats vieing for honors. First place went to the 11th graders of the Maple Valley High School. This colorful float read, "I'd Walk a Mile For Real Maple Syrup and Pancakes." The junior group of Girl Scouts took second place; the tenth grade, third place; the Kalamo Boy Scouts took fourth, and the Vermontville Cub Scouts, fifth place. The judges were Mrs.Christine Emery of Charlotte and Mrs. Jewell Byington of Grand Ledge. Marching bands in the parade included the Pot­ terville High School group, and the Maple Valley Junior and Senior bands. Throughout the day the Band Boosters and Ameri­ can Legion Post served pancakes, sausage and ma­ ple syrup and coffee. In all, the two groups used approximately 50' pounds of coffee, 500 pounds of pancake flour, 1,000 pounds of sausage and over 50 gallons of maple syrup. No one can say exactly how many pancakes came off the long rows of grid­ dles—but it was well into the thousands. A pancake derby and woodchopping contest were held in the late afternoon. There was square dan­ cing in the street in front of the grandstand, and a pony pulling contest. The Festival closed with a dance at the Opera House in the evening.

The kids had the canoe out for trips down the river the last two weekends in a row. A week ago they saw a deer on the banks of the river between Vermontville and Nashville. Yesterday they saw a Great Blue Heron. Of course they saw the general run of snakes, turtles and oth­ er Ufe along the banks of a river. Sure signs of spring... The fields are newly turn­ ed; the farmers are getting them ready for plant­ ing. . Sure sign of spring... The beautiful odor that one detects as be navels through the countryside as natural fertilizer which has been stored through the winter is spread on the fields to enrichen it. From some of the smells' I would assume it is real­ ly rich. Sure sign of Spring... Amy and I drove home from church at Hastings with the top down, Sunday. Sure sign of spring... The lawn looks lush and green and the kids nave already wound the 1 a w n mower up and have started the endless warm-weath­ er job of mowing. Sure sign Of spring... Vermontville's main street was blocked off all weekend so that the folia at­ tending the Syrup Festival could wander freely and so that the people with the rides and concessions would have a place to set up. It always amazes Church merger passes Beginning Sunday, June 1, United Methodists in Nashville will worship and function as one congre­ gation. More than a year of planning and work to­ ward this goal was cluminated in the vote of appro­ val given to the Plan of Union on Sunday, April 27, at the Church Conference held in the building o n State Street. Only two dissenting votes were cast Officials present for this occasion were Dr. Harold A. Jayne, superintendent of the Lansing District, West Michigan Conference, and the Reverend Mr. Lawrence R. Taylor, superintendent of the WestDis­ trict of the former Evangelical United Brethren Mich­ igan Conference. A slate of officers was elected to serve the united congregation through 1970, selected equally from each of the uniting congregations. Among the leaders chosen were: Chairman of Ad­ ministrative Board, Max Kelley. Chairman of Coun­ cil on Ministries, Wallace Graham. The Lay Lead­ er, J. E. Smith. Financial Secretary, Mrs. Donald Skedgell; Church Treasurer, George Vogt, Jr. Trustees: Wm. ,R. Dean, Eldon Day, Wayne Pen­ nock,^ Justin-Cooley, Ben Mason and Norman Sand­ brook The Plan of Union indicates that the building on State Street shall serve as the place of worship for the United Methodist Church of Nashville, and the parsonage on Washington will be used for office and classrooms. The building on Phillips will be offered for sale, and the parsonage on Middle Street will house the new pastor and bis family. GET YOUR PORTRAIT IN COLOR AT THE CORONATION BALL IN YOUR COLORFUL CENTENNIAL OUTFITS SATURDAY, MAY 3<d Schedule pre-school shots y.*. me that after such a big day as Festival Day is, the entire village can be cleaned up by noon of the next day. That takes a lot of cooperation and a lot of work on the part of everyone involved. Sure sign of spring... Cardinals have built a nest in one of our little pine trees and spend the day carrying food in. All day long, bright flashes of red can be seen among the green needles. Sure sign of spring... Little lambs are bouncing through the fields and colts and calves are follow­ ing their mothers, expecting a quick lunch at ev­ ery stop. , Another sure sign of spring... I have that old feeling.. I don’t want to go to work and I would like to spend the day lying on my back in the new grass looking at the sky. The recent uproar in the newspapers about the dangers of DDT are rather frightening. The worst part of the whole thing is that we knew years ago that the indiscriminate use of pesticides was going to cause trouble. Rachael Carson, a very knowledgable woman, pointed out to us at least ten years ago in Silent Spring that we were doing a terrible thing. She documented what was happen­ ing to many forms of wildlife because of our con­ tinued use of hard pesticides. There is something about men that precludes tak­ ing any action on something of this son until it is either too late or almost too late. We have waited until some of the fish in Lake Michigan are so satur­ ated with pesticides that they are no longer safe to eat. And we are not the only ones. In California, people are worried because the pel­ icans have been eating plankton saturated with DDT washed down to the sea. This results in pelican eggs with shells so thin that the mother pelican can not sit on them without breaking the shell Some see the end to the pelican because of this. There is little doubt that our excessive use of pesticides has hurried the demise of the great eagles. These birds, never common, have become so rare that many people go through an entire lifetime without ever seeing one of them. I don't think we realize what a beautiful system of checla and balances Nature provided us with un­ til we start trying to tip that balance. When men start eliminating whole species of an­ imals, they start realizing that those animals, now gone, had a place in the scheme of things. Actually, the animals we are trying to eliminate or to at least control, the insects, are the very ones who seem best able to resist our efforts. They have set up immunities against most of the chemical con­ trols WE have developed. The other animals, who eat the insects who are filled with this material are the ones being eliminated. I read somewhere, that in all of the years man has been fighting with insects, he has never yet e­ liminated a species of insect. But he has eliminated many species of higher animals, reptiles, mam­ mals, birds. The world has gone through many stages and many ages where certain animals were the most prevalent. The world went through the great age of reptiles. The very few snakes and turtles we have today are leftovers from that age. And they are dying oft' fast. We are in an age of mammals now.Scientists claim the next great age is going to be the age of insects. The chief mammals seems to be doing his best to see that age come. Pro fessional THOMAS W.

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1969 �Commended for highway work At the Nashville village council meeting Thurs­ day evening the clerk, Mrs. Ada Skedgell, read a citation from the Michigan State Legislature com­ mending the highway clearance workers for keeping the highways clear of snow and debris. This is the fiat such award Nashyille has received. President Harold Christiansen reported on the findings of the recent meeting held for discussing some Improvements which could be made at the three railroad crossings within the village. The "S’ curve at the Reed Street crossing is the most pro­ vocative, and is also the most difficult one to im­ prove upon. It would be best if a flashing red light could be installed there, but the cost appears to be prohibitive. Some corrections have already been made in widening the street at the point, but still the condition presents a problem when school buses attempt to pull into the area at’an angle where the driver can see down the track in both directions. This crossing is still under study. Improvements will be made at the Sherman Street crossing by remov­ ing some unused ties, and then the area will be blacktopped. The M-66 or Main Street crossing, is to have some grading done, and some blacktop add­ ed. Mrs. Gale Keihl was reappointed to the Putnam Library Board for two years, Mrs. John Hamp for four yean, by the president and approved by the council. The council voted $500 to be paid the Fire Board. They also okayed the transfer of $1,264 from the improvement fund to the incidental fund. Permis­ sion was granted to close Maple Street from Main to State Street for the three-day Centennial cele­ bration June 26, 27 and 28. The village will ask the Michigan State Highway department for permis­ sion to close M-66 from Washington to Reed Street to the north for a water battle from 6 to 9 p. m. the opening day of the Centennial celebration. Permis­ sion was also given for using dye in the sewer lines in order to check out some of the lines. For some time there has been talk of putting up a new water tower in the southwest part of the vil­ lage for a more adequate water supply, and also be­ cause the tower in Putnam Park is in poor condition and the cement base is deteriorating. The village checked on costs a couple of yean ago, and Thurs­ day evening the council voted to ask Williams & Works Engineering Company of Grand Rapids to get present day costs. Acting Police Chief Kendal Wilcox gave the po­ lice report. The department has policed two traffic accidents, handled one larceny complaint and one malicious destruction of property complaint, issued five traffic moving violation, severalother moving violations and issued a number of parking tickets. They also provided five assists to other departments. The police department is in need of suitable fire ex­ tinguishers to be carried in the police car and a first aid kit. There was discussion on insurance for village-own­ ed equipment and a suitable monument over the cap­ sule which is to be buried in Central Park during the Centennial The village plans to have a new drink­ ing fountain up by that time also. The council also approved purchase of a new lawn mower, and discus­ sed the purchase of a new sump pump for use by the street department.

Consider­ able Improvements have been made at the Museum and this is only the beginning of things to come. For the opening weekend, Nashville Centennial volunteers have been invited to host the event, and if any persons are interested in donating a few hours of their time during Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May 29, 30, 31 and June 1, they are asked to contact Mrs. Hubert Lathrop. The hosts and hostesses will work in shifts, and everyone will be expected to wear their centennial costumes. Checking in with Mrs. Lathrop is neces­ sary in order to correlate the hours and to assure tire committee there will be ample workers for the event. Offer tennis instruction There will be free instruction in tennis this sum­ mer under the direction of Rex Balch starting on Sat­ urday, May 10. This instruction will be for students and adults. The adult instruction will continue only if there is sufficient interest. Times of instruction are: From 10 to 11 a. m., El­ ementary, ages 8 to 13. From 11 to 12 noon, junior­ senior high and from 12 to 1 pm, others out of school, including adults. Plans made for Mayor Exchange Nashville and Galesburg have beenpaired for May­ or Exchange Day during Michigan Week this year, and these two communities have something in com­ mon which probably cannot be repeated anywhere in the state. Both communities are celebrating their Centennial this year. Tickets for the Mayor Exchange banquet may be secured from Cecil Barrett, James Rizor, William Hecker or Stewart Graham. The dinner is open to the public and the location will be announced later. Those wishing to attend in Centennial garb are encouraged to do so.

Of course, it lias always been my opinion that Nashville is full of queens, but this one is OfficiaL Cathy Mix, the 18 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Russell Mix of Nashville was crowned Centen­ nial Queen at the Coronation Ball last Saturday. Queen Cathy and her court really have their work cut out for them. According to the rules of the Cen­ tennial Committee, Cathy must reign for the next one hundred years, when Nashville will celebrate its 200th anniversary. Or - at least she doesn't have to worry about being out of a job. . Attendance at the Coronation Ball was good, I would say. Everybody there seemed to be naving a marvelous time. The Keystone Kops helped get things off to a flying start when they held a kang­ aroo court and sentenced everybody at tlie party to follow Queen Cathy in a performance of the HokyPoky, and that will loosen your old muscles up. Anyway, congratulations to Queen Cathy and to her court. I am sure they are young enough that they will be around to turn over the crown to the new queen one-hundred years from now.

My daughter, who is taking Driver's Ed., is just a bit concerned about what she is going to do when she is called upon to drive our Mustang which has a manual shift. These days of automation know only the automatic transmission... This comes as some­ what of a shock to an oldtimer like L who w as brought up on the Model-A and the Essex Super Six. This is one place where I have the kids at a disad­ vantage. They think I am remarkably skilled be­ cause I can run through the gears of a manual trans­ mission. They don't realize that it just come nat­ urally to me. That Terraplane was a real car. Julia Swartz, an English teacher at Maple Val­ ley High School has made arrangements tor sopho­ mores to go over to Hastings to see the film Romeo and Juliet.

WOODARD'S MOBIL SERVICE Nashville Ph. 852-9541 The April F. T. A. meeting was held Monday night April 28. Teressa Wells and Floyd Sylvester gave a report on the State FTA Convention held at St. Mary’s Lake April 18 - 20. There are 70,000 Future Teachers in the United States. Ten thousand ate in Michigan. Each club was limited to two dele­ gates at ute convention. They were told to be aware of the social changes. They must try so help them­ selves and others. There is no such thing as a sec­ ond class citizen. One speaker said problems start in the junior high and reach their peak the senior year. Also, a school is not a good school until it has at least one teacher from a minority group. An election of officers for our Maple Valley Chap­ ter was held for 1969-1970. President, Floyd Sylvester; vice president, Twilla Marsh; secretary, Teressa Wells; treasurer, John Eastman. The next meeting will be May 12. Mrs. Fixster, Mrs. Baas, Mrs. Green and Mrs. Kalnbach attended the Michigan Council For The Social Studies at WMU April 25 - 26. The Friday night dinner speech was given by Dr. Jess Walker on " Reaching and Teaching the Disadvantaged. " The following are some high .lights of his speech. ” Do we as teachers ^dream things that never were and say why not?' Why did the Joo Corpsman fail? He failed self. His teachers failed him. His parents failed him. Certainly society failed him. Many liv­ ed in a fuzzy bottle. One youth said it was awful in­ side. He could look out but never touch and never participate. Forty percent of young failures, how­ ever, are self failed. Many drop out of school be­ cause they couldn't keep up with a group and felt inferior. 6This is a waste of democracy which we can not afford." It is true that in 1969 economy dictates to us. Every year we waste so many talents and contribu­ tions that the forced retired could give. Many of these are super-skilled. There is pressure to keep people in scnool longer and by the time our 1969 nigh school graduates reach fifty-five they may re­ tire on a good social security. Think of the w a s t e this could be to our community, to our nation. Many of our young do not reach their expectations because they are frustrated, full of anxiety, rebel­ lion and riot. They resent the establishment, yet time and time again the rioter has no plan. There are two ways we may go. First — provide education to prepare young people to cope for and with society. Second — we can create a welfare state. Our fail­ ures will not get lost in society. Our present school system has neglected the disadvantaged and the worst of all is the migrant worker. Michigan will have no need for migrant workers by 1972. Machines will replace them. These disadvantaged people will be trapped. What have we taught them about life? What are we teaching our students about the use of their life in society - how to live with other p e o pie? We must educate to create a sane world. We still tolerate slums. Why can't we see what it means to be a member of a minority group or to be poor? Teachers must teach compassion in their classrooms. The text book must not be the deter­ mining factor of what the child learns. Parents and teachers must bring their own lives under control or they can't help a child to develop a life of self control and a healthy personality. We must bring that child to the place where he can fit into the society of the world of today. Help him to say; ”1 ain't what I wanna be, I ain't what I gonna be, But Thank God I ain't what I was. " F. H.A. BANQUET "Fashion Flings For Spring" was the theme of this year's annual FHA banquet held May 1st. The pre­ sentation cf awards and degrees, installation of new officers, singing, and a fashion show were held af­ terward. Seven girls received Junior degrees. They are Lucy Bryan, Debbie Wright, Janet Smith. Phyllis Sylvester, Karen Decker, "Connie Culbertson, and Lois Pennock. These girls received a Key, the sym­ bol of the 1st degree, to wear on their FHA pins. One girl, Chris Brown, received the scroll, rep­ resenting her achievement of the Chapter (2nd) d e gree. Jeri Hammond, who officially received her State degree, represented by a torch (the 3rd and highest degree) at the State Convention, was pre­ sented with a certificate. Those receiving highest points in each class were: Senior Barb Snow, junior Melissa Hansen, Sopho­ more, Christine Brown and freshman Connie Culbert­ son. Jeannine Lykins received an award for the most cookbook sales. Honored as chapter mother for this year was Mrs. Harold Stewart. Installation of new officers was next on the pro­ gram.

Highlighting the fashion show were spring dress­ es, centennial outfits, dress and coat ensembles, sports outfits and formats. All of the outfits model­ ed by the girls were clothes they made themselves. FHA STATE CONVENTION Six girls, along with Mrs. Ollth Hamilton, ad­ visor, and Mrs. William Hammond, traveled to WMU on April 24th to attend the two-day FHA State Copvention.

Both communities are celebrat­ ing their Centennial this year. Already Nashville's village president, Harold Christiansen has a beard and mustache, and he'll feel quite at home when he steps into the 100-year ago atmosphere of his hosting community. Attending from Galesburg will be Mayor and Mrs. Frank E. Oviatt, treasurer Wendell Hoag and Mrs. Hoag and city commissioner Dale Schieoer and Mrs. Schieber. Accompanying Nashville's president to Galesburg will be village clerk, Mrs. Ada Skedgell and James Erwin, superintendent of public works, and his wife. The members of the committee arranging plans for the day in Nashville include Cecil Barrett, James Rizor, William Hecker and Stewart Graham.

Ma<M> NUMBER 51 Board votes to include $1,295,000 bond issue The Maple Valley School Board voted Monday night to include a proposal asking a $1,295, 000 bond issue for certain improvements to the present faculties and for construction of a new school with twelve regular classrooms, science and storage room, arts and crafts room, music and storage area, gymnasium andlocker area, library, admimstration area, kitchen and storage area, mechanical rooms and other storage areas. The improvements would include a 3-stall bus garage area, office, drivers rooms, toUets and a storage area adequate to store 24 vehicles. The pro­ poses money would also be used to add a new boiler room to the Kellogg School and the removal of the present boiler room. The proposed new Middle School would be for grades six and seven and would be located near the Jr. Sr. High School building. In the Board's discussion of the coming election, Monday June 9, it was brought out that the only pe­ titions for including names to the baUot for school board members came from incumbents Wallace Graham and Harold Hansen, who wiU be running for four-year terms. It is believed by some members of the board that federal funds might be available to improve the warning system at the railroad grade crossing at the village limits. It was agreed that a time shoud be arranged to discuss starting action on this. The resignation of Mrs. Elsie Mason, was a c cepted. Mrs. Mason plans to retire from teaching. Miss Judy Levy, junior high mathematics teacher also tendered her resignation from the junior high but asked to be considered if an opening should de­ velop in senior high. The school calendar originally called for school to be in session on Friday morning, June 13, but it called for no classes on Thursday, June 12. The Board accepted the recommendation of superin­ tendent Wolff that the calendar he changed to in­ clude classes on June 12, but that no classes be held on Friday. Teachers would be in the building, however, to complete their records. The Board approved offering contracts to Ivan Sheets, a June graduate of Olivet College and to Nancy Ricketts, also a June graduate of Olivet. Mrs. Ricketts is the wife of Mr. Chris Ricketts who teach­ es at Maple Valley. It was also decided that a further discussion of the possibility of proceeding with the idea of e m ploying a community school director should be at­ tempted. The Board is of the opinion that another meeting should be set up. Mrs. Iris Wion, Michigan Week Chairman in Ver­ montville, would like to remind all merchants to fly their US and Michigan flags all next week during Michigan Week. Monday, May 19, Government Day, Vermont­ ville will be exchanging mayors with Ravenna. Rep­ resenting Ravenna wUl be Mayor Donald Pigors and his wife, councilman Wallace Owens and his wife, councilman Frank Coletta and his wife, and clerk Ethel Nutt and her husband.

Mrs. Julia Swartz Maple Valley High School Nashville, Michigan • Dear Mrs, Swartz.. Thank you so much for the opportunity to serve your group with the Wednesday morning showing of '■Romeo and Juliet. " We appreciate this business and sincerely hope each student enjoyed the performance. I would also like to uke this opportunity to say how impressed I was personally with each student's manner and courtesy. Too many adults of my gener­ ation, perhaps myself included, are too quick to lump all teenagers into one pot; the good along with the bad. We are wrong to do this. They are quite a gener­ ation; well advance for their young yean and I am impressed. Most sincerely, Gordon M.

Farm Bureau members serve as Civil Defense workers Several Barry County Farm Bureau members have assumed the county-wide responsibility of serving as Civil Defense workers. Bill Barr, County Civil Defense Director; is work­ ing closely with this group headed by key men Bob Wenger, rural Middleville area; Marvin Smith, south Hastings area; Lee Cairns, southeast Hastings area and John Decker, Delton, Pine Lake and Hick­ ory Cornets area. Serving as workers under these four key men are forty other Farm Bureau members, covering the entire county area. , The main responsibility of these workers will be to go into areas when they are notified of a disas­ ter such as tornadoes, severe storms, or nuclear at­ tack to relieve law officers of some of the routine jobs such as directing and controlling traffic, keep­ ing out unauthorized people.so that the enforce­ ment officers can see to more important rescue work. The workers will be in authority to do this type work. It might also be necessary to have some of the workers with large farm machinery such as big tractors, loaders, scrapers or chain saws, to help clear debris from roads and building areas. Mr. Barr pointed out that the reason Farm Bureau . members were asked to uke over this program was Summer jobs sought for area young people in the interest of bringing employee and employ­ er together, an effort is being made to establish a center in Barty County whereby employers may find employees for the summer ana where young people mty apply for employment. School counselors in your area have applications and these applications should be turned in to the Hastings Area Chamber of Commerce. This program is intendea to serve the students in high school and colleges in the Barry County area, and is being sponsored by the action committee of M.H.E.W. An effort is being made to contact employers through the service clubs in the county and also through the newspapers. Sponsors hope you will give this activity the necessary publicity in your organi­ zation. Employers needing someone for a summer job should call the Hastings Area Chamber of Com­ merce, 945-3232.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, the fact that they are probably the easiest’overall group to contact, they cover the entire rural county area, they have the most big equipment and emer­ gency equipment at their fingertips, they know bow to handle livestock in case of destruction in a rural area. Many farmers also have portable generators and because of their outdoor work, they many times are aware of severe storm conditions and be ready to go immediately. They also know the area very well and the layout of the homes and buildings, and can recognize most of the residents and their fami­ lies. The main method of com munication to get work­ ers into an area will be a telephone chain call plan. The keymen will be notified of a "tornado warning" and they in turn will call two designated men who, in turn, each call two more until all workers are notified. Each worker will have a chart of the tele­ phone plan, and in case he can not reach his desig­ nated man, he will automatically by-pass him and call the next people in line, the re-by completing the warning system. All of the workers are also requested to listen to radio WBCH where they will receive more specific information through a code system as to where dis­ aster areas are and how much help is needed. In case the storm should uke WBCH off the air, Mr. Barr then emphasized that the same information would be given over neighboring radio and TV sta­ tion*. He also pointed out that FM radios are very desirable in case stohn conditions arise after AM broadcasting is required to go off the air. , In many cases, industry and churches will be co­ operating in the civil defense effort* by providing manpower and buildings which could Be used for emergency housing, feeding and medical airLSome of these groups have been contacted and others will be in respect to providing this much-needed help. There is a possibility that the workers will be of­ fered a medical first aid course in the future so that they can become more adequately trained to rescue victims. Workers who are now trained in first aid will be of value to the rescue effort. Mr. Barr gave some of the following suggestions and remarks at the recent workers' meeting: Farmers and others with portable generators should give their name and location to one of the " key men" listed at the beginning of this article. Also, those with heavy moving equipment or any­ one who thinks he might have something specific of value to a rescue effort should pass this along to the keymen or the County Farm Bureau office. The workers will be issued identification which they should have with them at all times, and will be readily identifiable in an emergency area. He commended Barry County Farm Bureau for undertaking this most important responsibility and stated that Barry County Farm Bureau is the first in the state to do this type of civil defense work. Mr. Barr also stated he was most impressed with the enthusiasm and cooperation of the workers. The director asked that if anyone saw a tornado forming or a threatening cloud, he should immedi­ ately place a collect call- to the Grand Rapids weather bureau and ask the operator to stand by. As soon as they have reported the location of this possible danger, they should ask the operator to call the Sheriff’s office at which time they report the same information, then call one of the ” key men" to report their sightings. They should then listen to their local radio station for further infor■ mation. Tornado Watch means tornadoes are expected to develop. Tornado Warning means a tornado has actually ueen sighted.

Each year during the month of May-, one week is selected to encourage the rural patrons to examine, and improve where necessary, the appearance of their mailboxes. To provide mail receptacles which are designed to protect the mail from the weather, and which are neat in appearance, conveniently lo­ cated, and safe to use. Neat, attractive mailboxes make a significant contribution to the appearance of the country side and our village streets served by the rural carrier. Mailboxes of the approved traditional or contem­ porary design are required, whenever a mailbox is newly installed or the present receptacle is replaced. Patrons still using obsolete, top-opening boxes may continue to use them at the same location, provid­ ed they are kept in a serviceable condition and oth­ erwise meet the requirements. Where box numbers are assigned, the name of the owner and the box number must be shown on the side visible to the carrier as he approaches, or on the door where boxes are grouped Rural mailboxes must be located on the right­ hand side of the road in the direction traveled by the carrier wherever it would be dangerous to serve the boxes on the left or where this would be a vio­ lation of state or local traffic laws or regulations. Rural carriers are subject to the same traffic laws and regulations as are other motorists. Boxes and supports should be kept painted and free from rust. Boxes should be installed with the bottom 3 and 3 1/2 feet from the roadway. The cooperation of our rural patrons wjjl be greatly appreciated by your rural carrier and your postmaster.

Does your banker stick around on Saturday so you can get a loan, make a payment or cash a check? That’s the reason we added an extra hour and a half of banking time to every weekday ... including Saturday. We have a lot of customers who used to forget to bank on Friday. They switched to Michigan National Bank because we stay open all day Saturday ‘til 4:30 p.m. They call us "The Saturday Bank.” We believe we should be open six days a week with “customer hours.” We let the other banks have the “banker’^hours.” If you have trouble with a short bank day and weekend banking, why not switch to “The Saturday Bank” with 4:30 hours.

At the annual elec­ tion you will also be electing two members for four year terms on the Board of Education. Incumbents wallace Graham and Herald Hansen were the only two people to file petitions as candidates by the deadline date May 12. The bond election will be in the amount of $1,295, 000 and will include the following facili­ ties. 1. A new school bus garage that will replace the present garage located on Reed Street. This garage will have a three stall bus service area and storage space for twenty-four vehicles. This would be lo­ cated at a central location, and all the busses would then be kept in one area. Considering the larger ca­ pacity size of the busses being operated today plus the increased number of busses, it is necessary that additional maintenance space be provided. Also, it is generally accepted that our maintenance cost could be reduced by having all the busses housed in­ side.

May 23, 1969 at the VFW Post 8260 building at 7:30 pm. The dinner is being prepared and served by the VFW Auxiliary. All postmasters in Area 7 are invited to attend. This area covers all of Barry, Eaton, Clinton, Ingham and Ionia counties. Ruth Reed, Postmaster of Dloverdale will assist. The Centennial theme in costume will be car­ ried out as much as possible with the local partici­ pants and also the taele decorations to funner hon­ or the Centennial Year in Nashville. The State officers of NAPUS plan to be in attend­ ance also. 2. Kellogg Elementary building (former Nashville High School Building). A new boiler room and auto­ matic gas furnace would be installed eliminating the boiler room which is now located beneath the classrooms. 1 A new middle school would be constructed near the Jr-Sr. High School sire to house students in the sixth and seventh grades. By moving the sixth grad­ ers from the elementary buildings, it would be pos­ sible to have more sections in the lower elementary grades helping to eliminate some of the large class­ room enrollments. The seventh graders would be moved to the new building, and it is generally felt that the students of this age could adjust better to the educational program in a building housing the middle school grades. Centennial program complete The complete program for Nashville's Centennial celebration, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 26/27 and 28, is now complete. This Wednesday evening the Centennial Committee will meet for final reports on the various committee-activities. The meeting is scheduled for 7 p. m. at the Castle­ ton township hall. It is now planned that the new middle school would include twelve regular classrooms, science room- and storage area, arts and crafts room, music storage area, gymnasium and locker area, library, administration area, kitchen and storage area, me­ chanical rooms, and various receiving and storage areas. This building would be designed in such a way that would allow for expansion in future years if the enrollment continues to grow. Any possible future expansion would then involve the addition of possi­ bly the fifth and eighth grades to the middle school building. At the time of construction of the present Jr-Sr High School and the Elementary additions in 1964­ 65, it was estimated that the enrollment for the present school year would be approximately 1, 595 students. The official membership this year for state aid purposes was 1, 853 students. This year we will graduate eighty-two seniors, and we now have a kindergarten enrollment of one hundred seventy­ eight students. What will be the cost to the taxpayer? The Board of Education plans to participate in the school bond loan program which would lower the annual debt re­ tirement millage. This program allows a school dis­ trict to borrow from the state bond loan program at a low interest rate to help pay the annual debt re­ tirement and interest costs on the bonds. The a mount of funds that might be borrowed if necessary in relationship to the local levy is controlled by the local valuation of the school district. Considering that the Maple Valley District is a low, valuation district with only $6900 behind each student this year, the district will qualify for participation es­ pecially when we consider that the average state e­ qualized valuation per student in the public schools in Michigan is approximately $14,000. Presently the district has been levying 6. 9 mills for debt retirement. The increased aebt millage for the new bond issue would not exceed 1.75 mills through participation in the state bond loan pro­ gram, based upon the present school bond loan leg­ islation. The Board of Education and school administrators would be willing to meet with any group to discuss the proposed bond issue and the participation in the school bond loan program. If your organization de­ sires to have some representative of the school meet with any group or organization, please call 852­ 9699 or contact one of the board members.

Vermontville exchanged with Ravenna and Nash­ ville exchanged with Galesburg. Galesburg, by the way, is having a centennial afio so we had some­ thing in common with them. Because I am still working in Lansing, Chris went over to Vermontville to take pictures of their Ma­ yor Exchange. The Vermontville group visited the School, Michigan Magnetics, Thrun's Sugar Shan­ ty, had lunch at the Sugar Hut Cafe and yound up with a banquet in the Griswold Room. Stan Trumbell was the toastmaster for the banquet. The Mu­ seum was open in the afternoon and they visited that. In Nashville visitors went to Charlton Park, Plycoma, the Library and Baby Bliss, among others. The Nashville rest hour, before dinner, was held at the home of Mrs. Sena French and I was put in charge of the punch bowL True to my tradition I bolixed the whole thing up. ... Mrs. French put the ice in the punch bowl and it must have been too much for the cut glass because suddenly and with­ out warning the bowl just split in two, drenching me with punch. It is a good thing that I live just across the street or I would have had to spend the rest of the evening in wet clotnes. I went home to change and even my socks were wet. The people from Galesburg mentioned the fact that our community seemed to be much more co­ operative than most communities.

This is the day planned for the last outing of the season of the Nashville Wo­ man's Literary Club when they plan their Flea Mark­ et in Central Park. From what I hear, there will be a little bit of many things - furniture, antiques, dishes, clothing, perhaps even a few jars of jams and jellies - and providing the weather cooperates, they should net a hit of revenue for their Library Room project. Many cf the ladies will be dressed in their centennial outfits - so perhaps a stop at Cen­ tral Park on Saturday, will be worth your while. If this is a successful venture, they plan to make it an annual event. ; j The colored pictures which we .took of many cou­ ples at the Coronation Ball recently have arrived and those who had these pictures taken may pick them up at the News office. During this time the ladies toured the Flea Mark­ et and other interesting spots around the town. All had lunch at the Ravenna Bowl's Raven Room. In the afternoon the men toured the Alloyed Grairon Foundry, the Rogers Publishing Co., Beef Auction Sale Barn, Nutt and Son's Dairy Farms, and Swanson's Pickle Co. The ladies visited the shopping area of the town, and the schools, - then joined the men for tours through the Publishing Company, diary farm and pickle company. At 4:30 they had a rest period at two of the homes in town, and then all gathered at the home of Bruce Jones for a social hour at 5:30. At 7:00 they attended a dinner at the American Legion Hall put on by the American Legion Auxil­ iary. The program was m. e'ed by Tom Link who introduced a trio of high school girls who sang three lovely songr and another group of teenagers called the Ravenna Brass. ” This was followed by introductions of people of various groups of the vil­ lage, and speech by Mr. Donald Swanson. The Mayor and his council members were pre­ sented with gifts of stationery and pen and pencil, sets from the publishing company and the com­ munity. Hostesses for the day were Mrs. Donald Swanson, Mrs. Ralph Rogers Jr., and Mrs. L C. Pierson. Hosts were Mr. Arthur Steward and Mr. I. C. Pierson. The party coming from Ravenna, consisting of Mayor Donald Pigors, councilman Wallace Owens and wife, councilman Frank Coletta and wife and clerk Ethel Nutt and husband, were met at M-66 by the fire truck and escorted into town. They were met by the Maple Valley Band and the welcoming committee. Rev. Leonard Maunder presented the Key to the City and all went to the Sugar Hut for coffee and a brief get-acquainted session. The whole party then went out to the Maple Valley Jr. Sr. Hf ‘ -.where they met with the party from Nai nd all toured the school. At 12:30 they went back to the Sugar Hut for lunch. In the afternoon the visitors toured Thrun's Sap House, Michigan Magnetics, the Museum, the Opera House and the Fire Department. At 5:00 p.m. there was a rest and social hour at the Kenyon Peabody home. In the evening, dinner was served at the Griswold Room with Stanley Trum­ ble as toastmaster. He introduced the maple syrup queen, Karen Wilmore and her court. A Minuteman citation was presented to Mrs. Mildred Allen for her service to the community. The speaker for the evening was Richard Maunder from Kalamazoo who spoke on campus disorder and youth dissent. Gifts were presented to the guests; maple prod­ ucts from the Lions Club and note papers from the Maple Valley l-.ews. Hotts and hostesses for the day were Rev. Leon­ ard Maunder, Government Day chairman; Mt. and Mrs. Russell Kerbyson, Mrs. Louise Viele, Betty Ann Briggs, Beverly Kelley and Kenyon Peabody. The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, May 22, 1969 �Visitors enjoy exchange of ideas, problems, solutions Delegates from the two communities of Nashville and Vermontville visited other communities Mon­ day during Mayor-Exchange Day and both brought back the s>me comment that these communities had similar problems. One person from the V e rmontville group said that almost the first word which was mentioned when they began to talk about their various communities was sewer". The Mayor of Nashville, Harold Christiansen, commented that the streets in Galesburg were in pretty bad condition and the reason they weren't making improvements was that they were in a "sewer” problem and had to solve this condition first. An exchange of ideas regarding solutions to these problems and many oth­ ers, was a high point in both visits. As the group of delegates left from Nashville, approximately 30 persons gathered at the Post House in Battle Creek including the visitors to Nash­ ville for the day, the group coming from Galesburg. John Hurley, Mayor of Marysville also attended the meeting and he continued on to Springfield for the day's activities. Mr. Harold Christiansen was accompanied on his trip to Galesburg by Mrs. Ada Skedgell, clerk, and Jim Erwin, superintendent of Public Works, and • Mrs. Erwin. Members of the Nashville group who were hostesses and hosts to the guests for the day in­ cluded Mr, and Mrs. Bill Hecker, Mr. and Mrs. Ce­ cil Barrett, Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Graham and Mr. and Mrs. Jim Rizor. Bill Cassidy provided a police escort. . Guests from Galesburg included Mayor and Mrs. Frank Oviatt, Wendell Hoag, city treasurer, and Mrs. Hoag, and city commissioner Dale Schieber and Mrs. Schieber.

Stewart Graham served as the host at the dinner and presented various gifts of Centennial items to the guests. The Keystone Kops made a surprise en­ trance and gave subpoenas to the guests, and pro­ vided a bit of additional color and fun. During the visit in Galesburg, Mr. Christiansen said they visited many places of interest including a chicken packing plant, the Burgess Seed Com­ pany plant, the Fire Department of the village, and also sat in on a council meeting which was held for the freshman class at the Galesburg-Augus­ ta School, giving an opportunity to explain to these young people some of the workings of the gov­ ernmental body of the village. During the day tne Nashville visitors were taken on an airplane ride around the Galesburg area. Mr. Cecil Burg, the vice-mayor of the community, con­ ducted the visitors on their tour during their visit, assisted by others in the community As stated previously, the sewer problem and bond issues were discussed and the school was visited. In the planning stage at this time, is a project for the building of a regional airport in the vicinity of Galesburg, which would make tremendous changes in the population and economy of the area. A dinner was held in the evening at Inman's with approximately 40 persons attending.

"OLD TIMERS WILL REMEMBER SIGN This sign, painted on the south side of the present Nicholas Ap: liance store on Nashville's Main Street, will undoubt idly bring back memories to many "old-timers" when they , visit their old home town pduring this Centennial year. The"advertisement ap. \ was painted ’— *-----v years ago,’ but was giv giv-­ patently many en a fresh coat of paint by Fred Acxett Ackett just because he is interested in maintaining some of Nashville's history. • The sign was not visible until recently when an old building standing next to the Appliance store was town down. Apparently at the time the sign was painted on the building, the area next to it was — , j of _r any — building, — ubut — in gazing void <_ w the "old-timers" now living here, no one can recall " ever: see' seeing the sign. In attemr ' to ferret out information. on the building wl was torn down,. it w a s learned the building was moved in from Vermont­ ville. It was reported that the buildin°. construct­ ed in 1838, was the first school in Vermontville. From about 1910, Mrs. M. Ella Larkin had a mil­ linery store in the building for many years.

Several families were represented by four genera­ tions, and some others by three. Three mothers past the age of 80 were also recognized. Many were attired in centennial dress. Special among these was Mrs. Norman Sandbrook in her husband’s grand­ mother's wedding dress, circa 1895. Mis. James E. Smith was program director and introduced readings by Mrs. Floyd Nesbet, Mrs. En­ nis Fleming and Mrs. Wayne Pennock. Two choral selections were offered by a group of teenage daugh­ ters directed by Mrs. Robert Boyer and accompaniedby Mis. W. R. Dean. Later Mis. Smith directed and accompanied a group of younger daughters as they sang a tribute to mother. • Mrs. Morris Brown was decorations chairman, and assisting her were Mrs. Boyd Olsen and Mrs. Glenard Showalter. Men who helped with the serving were Fred Ackett, Nelson Brumm, Karl Pufpaff and Wil­ liam Dean. The toasts were given by Mrs. Wayne Pennock and her daughter, Loraine. Mrs. B. J. 'Varner asked the invocation, and the benediction was the singing of "God Be With You Till We Meet Again." A freewill offering for missions amounted to near­ ly $50. WE'RE GOOD FOR WHATEVER AILS YOUR CAR! Been hearing strange noises from your An era of service will conclude Sunday for the building at Washington and Phillips that housed the former Evangelical United Brethren congregation. At 10 a. m. on May 25, that congregation will hold its last worship service in that building Beginning Sunday, June 1, the two United Methodist congre­ gations in Nashville will worship and function as one in the building at Washington and State. The former EUB congregation has experienced other denominational .mergers. In 1922, the United Evangelicals merged with the Evangelical Associa­ tion to form the Evangelical Church. In 1946, the local congregation became Evangelical United Brethren as the Evangelical and United Brethren de­ nominations merged. "However," states Pastor Var­ ner, "these first two mergers affected the local con­ gregation very little, for there were no churches of the other merging denominations in the community.' But when the EUEs and Methodists merged in Dallas, Texas, in 1968, Nashville then had two United Methodist Churches. The congregations then decid­ ed they could best serve and witness by becoming one body locally as well. The congregation on Phillips invites anyone, es­ pecially those who were members, baptized or mar­ ried in this building, to join with them in a final service of gratitude for the years of service and oc­ casions originating in its building. Officers elected Ronald L. Roberts has been named to a new sales assignment in southwestern Michigan, representing the Allied Mills Company. Mr. Roberts joined the organization in 1968 as territory salesman after 4 years experience as a vo-ag instructor. He resides in Syracuse, Indiana. - Plan Open House Officers for 1969-70 were elected Tuesday night for the Women's Society of Christian Service of the United Methodist Churcn of Nashville from a slate prepared by the nominating committee and for which an unanimous ballot was cast.

In 1966 the Nashville group asked the Vermont­ ville and Maple Valley Alumni to join with them. 1967 was the first time they all met together. This year's banquet, which is being prepared by the Maple Valley junior class, will be served cafe­ teria style at the Maple Valley High School from 5:30 to 7:00 p. m.

The school will be open at 5 p. m. for those wish­ ing to tour the building, or for groups that would like to use a room for visiting with friends. The Alumni association, friends, MV class of 1966 and Maple Valley Jaycees have purchased and installed two large display cases to hold pictures of all the graduating classes. These cases are to be on display in the high school building. Some of the class pictures are missing, and if anyone has pic­ tures which they would loan or give to this project they are asked to notify the alumni association. They would also welcome any photos of the school buildings or grounds in any stages of construction. ■ Class photos missing include: For Nashville, 1930, 1931, 1933 and any class pictures prior to 1928 ex­ cept 1898, 1917 and 1918.

GRETA FIRSTER B-5 Dorothea Gunther, Hamburg, Germany, was in Nashville and Vermontville April 25. I was not at home so she left a message. Saturday evening Mrs. Baas, Mrs. Kalnbach and I drove to Albion to see Dorothea. She was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Youngs. Dorothea was an exchange student in 1960. She is now in college and working on her PhD. She said she has never for­ gotten her association with Maple Valley High School (Nashville then). To all her'classmates she sends her greetings. ' We had some up-to-date colored film strips on "Seeing China" from the Coronet Company. They were filmed by Miss Roper who received grants from the Carnegie Corporation Fellowship, The US State Department, and a British Council grant. One fourth of the world's people live in the People's Re­ public of China. There are twenty provinces. The capitol is Peking. The northern plain grows wheat and rice. China is just beginning to exploit their natural resources. A veiy big factory in China pro­ vides for the pre-school and primary education of the worker's children. The children learn reading, writing and arithmetic and a subject called "Com­ munist Morality." They are taught to be honest, hard working and faithful to the ideas of Mao. They are taught respect for. older people. China is now producing large quantities of con­ sumer goods. The pedicab has replaced the rick­ shaw. There are few private cars. China has many heavy industries. China has developed many new scientific methods during her 3728 year history. The Chinese gave us the compass, gunpowder, printing and paper made from wood and rags. Ancestoral worsnip kept them from developing into a great world power.

Calvin Mitchell Jr and Joe Blythe were the speak­ ers at our Future Teacher's meeting May 12. They are students from Kellogg Community College. They answered many questions on our minority groups, ghettos, ano the education of our minority groups. The following is a poem written by Calvin Mitchell Jr. Neither boy is militant. Their philoso­ phy is "if I have made it I must reach down and ex­ tend my hand to my brother and thus help him to climb the ladder to human dignity. " BLACK IS MY COUNTENANCE By CALVIN MITCHELL JR. Black is my countenance, I stand here alone Midst a sea of white faces All turned to stone. I once was a Black Man, The fruit of the earth, Proud, rich and free, Of Africa my birth. Thy gold was my rattle. My marbles were pearls. Thy people my heritage Known around the world. I once was a slave Sold for cash To any with money And a driver's last I once was a Nigger, All shaky and scared When I saw the white faces And the fangs that they bared. " Blackness is evil," Or so I was told, "You were uncivilized Before you were sold. White stands for goodness, and you’ll never be, So I'll just oppress you, You'll live under me. I'll call you Darkie, Sunshine, and Boy, And I'll treat you just like a great big Black toy. I once was a Negro, Puny and meek And led by "Tom" leaders like a Bunch of Black sheep. Then a cry was heard. Late one dark night. If white stands for goodness Why's the white man still white?" I've discovered my history Dates longer than you. Of princes in Songnay, and Timbuctu". Then came a transition. And the old ways were spurned. A "New Breed of Cats, " Yelled "Bum Baby Burn." "A new day has come, And I'm here you to tell That I'll have mv freedom. Or I'll make this place Hell! ” I'm proud of my Blackness And one thing more. I'm proud and I'm free And I'll serve you no more. I now am a Black man. In proud Blackness I stand. And to all who gaze on me, They see a new man. But my fight is not ended; For this is a land Where all of my brothers Can't walk hand in hand. When this is accomplished, The whole world will see Blacks walking toward Their own destiny. Black is my countenance. But no less the dear, • I'll cling to my natural. And cherish the spear. They rise now from Wans, Harlem, and Tobacco Road, Heads proud and held high. They cany their own load. The tide now has turned. And one day I know, They’ll bestill the cry, "Let my people gol I * > The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, May 22, 1969 I �Dreams come true for Sam Sam Sessions can't remember when he didn't want to race. Not, for that matter, can he remember when he didn't dream of driving in the Indianapolis " 500." He does recollect, though, pretending to be at In­ dianapolis while piloting his first tricycle. Sam is luckier than some men, because his dream came true. It was May a year ago, and a 49-year-old grand­ father named Chuck Stevenson decided the company he was keeping was too fast. Ending a successful stepped out driving career -v that spannedj 21 years, he stei of the Valvoline Special in wh ' 'he 'had tried for 'hich days to get up sufficient speed1 to qualify for a ”500' starting berth. 'T’hs* rnr’e rw The car's owner, Tassi Vatis, and chief mechanic Bill Finley were left without a chauffeur. But that was the break Sam Sessions needed. He asked for the job, got it and in short order had the car safely in the lineup for last year’s "500. "On Memorial Day he pleased himself and everyone else connected with the car by rolling home in ninth place. * Actually, last year wasn't the first time Sessions made the trip to Indy. He passed the test for rook­ ie drivers at the big speedway in 1966, but failed to get his Federal Engineering Special into the race. A year later he tried to qualify a radical Mickey Thompson entry with four-wheel steering. "I succeeded in scaring myself to death in that car, but that’s all," Sessions says of his 1967 Indy effort. Sessions, who is 33, began chasing his dream 14 years ago in boats, racing outboard-powered hydoplanes on the lakes and rivers around his home , town of Nashville. In 1957 he started driving old-model stocks and super modifieds. A year or two later he graduated to the International Motor Contest Association cir­ cuit, which has served as a training ground for many Indianapolis greats, including Bobby Unser, Parnelu Jones and A. J. Foyt. Sessions estimates he won something like a hun­ dred feature events in super modifieds before moving up to United States Auto Club sprint and midget competition in 1965. In four years of USAC racing. Sessions has a c cumulated about four main-event victories each in spring can and midgets. Two years ago he finished the sprint season as runner-up to national champion Greg Weld. Sam Sessions' rise to the big time has been any­ thing but meteoric. But skill and determination have taken him steadily upward. And there has been helpful advice and encouragement from Rufus Gray, whose sprint car Sessions has driven for the past three seasons, and from fellow driver Bobby Unser. "A lot of people have helped me, " Sessions says. "But Rufus Gray gave me my first big break inUSAC racing, and Bobby Unset gave me some good tips a­ bout running the dirt tracks. " When you can climb into an unfamiliar car as Sessions did last year at Indy, and wheel it to ninth place while competing against some of the world's finest drivers, greater achievements shouldn't be far off. A number of people are betting bigger things are ahead — Sessions himself for one, ofcourse, and then there are Tassi Vatis, owner of the Valvoline Special; Bill Finley,.................................. his chief mechanic. Sessions'. wife, Betty, and thelit 13-year-old son Jerry and daughter Ginger, 11, Sessions tends to get ecstatic when he talks about the new wedge-shaped Valvoline Si Special Finley has prepared for him. nim. The car's turbocl turbocharged Offenhauser engi engine — the kind that powered last year’s winning car -- is putting out something like 675 horsepower, and Sessions anticipates no problem ac­ hieving the 168 or 170 miles an hour that will prob­ ably be needed to comfortably make the starting lineup. Following the " 500” on Memorial Day, Sessions will campaign the Valvoline Special on the USAC championship circuit. His strategy will be thesame in every rhce: "We're going to stand on it and go fast. " Wanted .

Girl Scout news Six girls from the junior troop attended a "Skills Day”' outing at Horner's Woods on Saturday, May 17. All troops from the southwest district were in a t tendance to learn skills in knots, lashings, tent pitching, first aid, fire building and outdoor sanita­ tion, all in preparation for a big campout the SW district will nold next October at Hunter Lake.Camping with experienced campers is more fun than a woods full of "I don't know how to troops.

Chamber considers offering free outdoor summer movies Thirty-five persons attended the May meeting of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce last Wednes­ day evening. Following the usual reports of the sec­ retary, treasurer, etc., a discussion was held on new business. Mrs. Brumm read a communication from a m a n who would come to the village and present an out­ door free movie, once a week during the summer months. The man would bring a concession stand, (the cost would be $20 a week) and would need to have a place provided for showing the movie and access to 220 volt electric current. A motion veto­ ing the holding of this outdoor movie was defeated and a second motion to at least investigate before a decision was made, was accepted. Further commun­ ication will be made, obtaining more facts about the proposed showing of movies. John Boughton discussed the possibility of obtain­ ing color post cards which could be maae available for sale in the community. A committee was ap­ pointed to investigate the time involved and the cost. This committee was composed of Nelson Brumm, John Simon and John Boughton. Cecil Barrett gave a report on the plans for Ma­ yor-Exchange Day. Max kelley reported that no particular retail promotion plans were being made for the period of time during the CentenniaL John Simon reported that Mrs. Eunice Priddy had requested (in the event of rain on the day of the art show) that space be provided in the various stores for the visiting artists to set up their exhibits. John mentioned that he felt sure the various stores could be used in this way, and urged cooperation. NASHVILLE Bill Hecker showed two very interesting color films about driving safety precautions. These films are the ones which are shown to the classes during Driver Education through the school, and showed some of tiie reasons behind the various rules of safe driving. In the meeting held Tuesday, May 20, further discussion was held in regard to the holding of out­ door movies during the summer months. Points of discussion included whether a contract must be signed for the entire summer season, whether the bringing of the movies would cause a clean-up prob­ lem afterwards, whether enough people would be interested and attend the movies, the best lo­ cation which could be provided for the showing of the movies, and also whether a bringing of an un­ desirable element into the community would be a possibility and a problem.

' Nir. Sommers of the US Soil Conservation Service talked to the group and covered every phase of tree planting for the enthusiastic audience. He also ans­ wered questions from those attending. He advised that the peak planting time was past for this year and that early spring is the best time. With this in mind, planting of the trees will be carried out early in March or April next year. He did say that work could be done at this time in preparation for the tree planting project. This work includes a survey of the,village as to the con­ dition and population of the trees. The donated trees could also be marked for transplanting and root trimmed now for easier digging in the spring. Three lists have been started: (1) donors who have trees they will supply, (2) residents who re quest trees, and (3) a list of interested persons who will help with the project. Five donors have volunteered trees already but perhaps there are others who have a fence row grown up with young trees and will donate these trees. Of the residents, ten persons have indicated a desire for 25 trees already. For the list of volunteer help needed, the m e m bers of the committee state they need persons to help with shovels, those who will help with the sur­ vey and anyone who will work in any way on this community project. Mrs. Jack Rathburn and Miss Esther Shepard may be contacted for further details about the Vermont­ ville tree planting project. He was employed at the Post Division, General Foods Corp, and later worked for the Michigan Car­ ton Co., retiring from there about eight years ago.

Special Indian exhibit to be on display Last Sunday Mr. Rodney Deyo, treasurer of the Indian group that annually presents the Michigan Indian Homecoming Pow Wow at Charlton Park, drove over from his home near Detroit to assistPark and'Museum Director, Harvey Vetsteeg, in prepar­ ation of the Indian exhibit which will be on view when the renovated Museum reopens May 29. Mr. Deyo and the director were both in a Detroit Boy Scout Indian Dancing group when the director -was in high schooL Mr. Deyo, his wife and two daughters are all in­ terested students and collectors of Indian items and were quite helpful in the identification and selec.tion of Indian items from the collection of the Bar­ ry County Museum. The Deyos were impressed with many fine items in the collection, but unfor­ tunately, most are from other areas of the country. The initial exhibits at the park will stay as close­ ly as possible to local and therefore Great Lakes Woodland Indian items. There are enough such i­ tems for the exhibit but there are also so many fine items from outside the area that a special exhibit of them will be installed for viewing during the August Indian Pow Wow. This will be a temporary exhibit separate from the more permanent exhibit of local Indian items. The non-local items range from South America to Alaska with a large number of plains Indians items. This year's Michigan Indian Homecoming Pow Wow will be held at Charlton Park on August 9 and tenth. TRYING TO SAVE MONEY ON YOUR SPRING PLANT­ ING NEEDS WITHOUT IT COSTING YOU WHEN YOU HARVEST?

Indian Landing at Charlton Park gets its name from Indian canoe camps located there. Therefore it is only fitting that the renovated Barry County Museum which tells the history of the area reopens with a canoe race on Memorial Day. . Canoe races are not new on the Thornapple, but it is believed this will be the first professional race and thus will draw paddlen from much farther away than any previous race and hopefully an audience from a much wider area also. The race is under the auspices and rules of the Michigan Canoe Racing Association which conducts races all over the state, both amateur and professionaL As is the case here, local groups sponsor the race and provide the ex­ penses while the association provides consultation on the course, rules and forms and then assists in the conduct of the actual race. It also publicizes the race through its monthly paper to members in several states and does not schedule or sanction any other race on the same date. There are usuallv sev­ eral races in the state on any given weekend'during the summer but the association will only officially participate in one per day. The professional canoe racers follow the "circuit” and put on a good show. The top racers made a modest wage from their weekend sport and the rest occasionally make expenses. The race* range from the famous 2-day Ausable River race with $3,000 in prize money to smaller ones like the two-hour race the weekend after the Charlton Park event where $300 is offered the first place team. The Charlton Park race is estimated to be a 3 hour race with $150 going to the first place pro team; $25 al­ so goes to the first Barry County team to finish, re gardless of ranking. There will also be special tro­ phies in each amateur race for the first Barry Coun­ ty team to finish in the men’s amateur, mixed ama­ teur and junior races. Among the professional racers likely to appear are men who have won the world famous Texas Water Safari which races down a snake infested river for a week and ends across open Gulf of Mexico salt wa­ lies and equipment they can ter using oi ■s have paced Olympic teams carry with in trials even though they themselves can not parti­ cipate due to their professional standing. Everyone is invited to view the show these prac­ ticed athletes and also to enter all classes of the ra­ ces to defend the honor of Barry County. This is the opening day for the renovated Barry County Museum and the officers wish to.makeTt a day to remember for one and all; a successful day to get the revital- ( ized park and museum off to a start on its new era of development and use. Plans old-fashioned box soc ial May 22 , .

Each "Maid" is asked to fix a dinner for two which will be auctioned off by Lee McMillen, auctioneer. Coffee and tea will be furnished. It was announced last week by president Lee Mc­ Millen that the Maple Valley Jaycees are now mak­ ing plans to sponsor a Boy Scout program for Nash­ ville and a Explorer Troop for the communities of Nashville andD60B ----_ The Jaycees are forming a committee headed by "Gary Foote to work with the Scoutmaster to provide a good scouting program once again in the area. Any man who is interested in serving the boys as Scoutmaster should express tus interest to the Jaycees. * . , The Explorer Program, to serve both communi­ ties, is to involve boy* in high school who are in­ terested in becoming a responsible adult.

NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MAY 29. 1969 NUMBER 1 Open House Thursday will begin season at Charlton Park The start of a dieam come true will be consumated on Thursday, May 29th, when the Charlton Park gates open after having been closed for six years. In celebration of the re-opening of the park the public is invited to the open house of the park facilities on that date. The newly renovated park will throw its doors o­ pen for a one-day free-of-charge visit and a pre­ view of the displays. Park officials hope to make the open house an annual event to be held at the end of Michigan Week each year. Charlton Park, which is in the process of a com­ plete renovation, has been changed completely since the end of the last season it was open to the public. Two new craft shops , a blacksmith shop and a car­ riage shop have been constructed on the grounds and plans are in the making for the construction of a complete old time village on the site. The forge for the blacksmith shop has been moved from the last blacksmith shop to be operated in Nash­ ville and is now being reconstructed. If the bellows can be repaired in time and if a blacksmith can be located, the new blacksmith shop will also be oper­ ating on opening day. With the'exception of the bel­ lows that needs new leather, all the tools and equip- ■ ment are ready and waiting for their grand reawak­ ening. The forge was just completed with bricks and hoof rasps that used to hold up the forge in Nash­ ville's old blacksmith shop. So the "new" blacksmith shop in the park is in reality quite old and most authentic. Even if the shop is not in actual opera­ tion, it will be open for public viewing during the day. This is the shop that is being completed with monies from the Thornapple Foundation. The main museum building has been completely re-done. Remodeling has included new insulation, a new heating and air conditioning unit has been installed and a research library has been added to the building. As a sample of the many crafts that will one day be common in the planned 1840-90 village at Charl­ ton Park, a candle maker will demonstrate his skills and answer questions. Both methods of candle mak­ ing (dipping and molding) will be shown by Mr. Em­ ery Toogood, the park's first craftsman. Some hand­ made candles will even be available for purchase. What is said to be one of the best Woodland Indi­ an displays in the state is owned by the park. A rare deer skin Indian jacket, made sometime before 1830, dyed with natural vegetable juices and decor­ ated with porcupine quills is among the many arti­ facts included in the display. Hand woven quilts and other handicrafts are in evidence. The projected old time village, of which the car­ riage shop and the blacksmith shop are just two of the many structures planned, will be native to the area and is a tribute to Irving Charlton, whose far sightedness made it possible to carry out the desire for preservation of the collection and the develop­ ment of the park grounds. Charlton Park promises to be one of the finest mu­ seum and park complexes of its kind in the country. The collection of artifacts and memorabilia is said to be one of the most extensive in this part of the country. This accumulation is vast, so vast that it may be several years before it is catalogued and can be shown to the public. According to the masterplan of the park, parts of collections will be brought out of storage and dis­ played in their proper settings as more buildings are erected and more display space becomes available. Charlton Grange has agreed to have a food conces­ sion stand inside the park on Friday of the opening and canoe races for the convenience of those who would like to enjoy the wonderful picnic facilities in the park. The open house on May 29th will be the only time through the season that entrance to the park will be free to the public. Thereafter, a charge of $1.00 per car will be made. An annual permit can be pur­ chased for $3.00. The fee covers all activities, in­ cluding picnicing, swimming, entrance to the mu­ seum and for special events. The park will be open from 10:00 am. to 10:00 pm with the museum open from 10:00 am to 8:00. pm daily seven days a week. Once inside the park grounds there are no other fees; the museum, black­ smith shop, craft demonstrations and park facilities are open tor all to enjoy. Even after this full day of entertainment there is more: The start of the summer film series to be shown at dusk every Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings. This week's schedule includes: "How In­ dians Build Birch Bark Canoes," "Museum—A gate­ way to Preception, ” "Saugus Iron Works Restoration" ano "History in your Community. " Rosalie Murphy and her daughter, Cindy get a preview of some of the many exhibits at the Charl­ ton Park Museum in preparation for the park's open house to be held Thursday, May 29 from 3 to 8 pm. Many Nashville Centennial Belles will be in their centennial costumes to help show visitors the newly re-opened park. The open house will be free of charge. Charlton Park is 'located about midway between Hastings and Nashville. —Photo by John Boughton Persons who wish to volunteer time or who want to donate substantial items to the museum will be given special passes. Bond issue would increase millage only 1.75 mills The Maple Valley Board of Education has agreed to include a proposal for a $1,295, 000 bond issue on the ballot in the coming school election, Mon­ day, June 9. It has been pointed out that the bond issue would increase the present 6. 9 mills for debt retirement by not more than 1. 75 mills. This is because the board intends to participate in the school bond loan pro­ gram which considerably lowers the annual dent re­ tirement millage and allows a school district to bor­ row from the state bond loan program at a low in­ terest rate to help pay the interest cost on the bonds. In view of the fact that the Maple Valley District is a low valuation district with only $6, 900 behind each student this year, the district will qualify for participation. The average state equalized valuation per stu­ dent in the public schools in Michigan is about $14, 000. Tne amount of funds that might be bor­ rowed is in relationship to the local levy and is controlled by the local valuation of the school dis­ trict. The bond election would be to include: 1, A new school bus garage that will replace the present garage located on Reed Street. This garage will have a three stall bus service area and storage space for twenty-four vehicles. This would be lo­ cated at a central location, and all the busses would then be kept in one area. Considering the larger ca­ pacity size of the busses being operated today plus the increased number of busses, it is necessary that additional maintenance space be provided. Also, it is generally accepted that our maintenance cost could be reduced by having all the busses boused in- 2. Kellogg Elementary building (former Nashville High School building). A new boiler room and auto­ matic gas furnace would be installed eliminating the bouer room which is now located beneath the classrooms. 3. A new middle school would be constructed near the Jr-Sr. High School site to house students in the sixth and seventh grades. By moving the sixth grad­ ers from the elementary buildings, it would be pos­ sible to have more sections in the lower elementary grades helping to eliminate some of the large class­ room enrollments. The seventh graders would be moved to the new building, and it is generally felt that the students of this age could adjust better to the educational program m a building housing the middle school grades. It is now planned that the new middle school would include twelve regular classrooms, science room and storage area, arts and crafts room, music storage area, gymnasium and locker area, library, administration area, kitchen and storage area, me­ chanical rooms, and various receiving and storage areas. This building would be designed in such a way that would allow for expansion in future years if the enrollment continues to grow. Any possible future expansion would then involve the addition of possi­ bly the fifth and eighth grades to the middle school building. At the time of construction of the present Jr-Sr High School and the Elementary additions in 1964­ 65, it was estimated that the enrollment for the present school year would be approximately 1,595 students. The official membership this year for state aid purposes was 1,853 students. This year we will graduate eighty-two seniors, and we now have a kindergarten enrollment of one hundred seventy­ eight students. The Board of Education and school administrators would be willing to m^pt with any group to discuss the proposed bond issue and the participation in the school bond loan program. If your organization de­ sires to have some representative of the school meet with any group oi organization, please call 852­ 9699 or contact one of the board members. In addition to the bond issue on the ballot at the annual election the names of two school board members will be appearing for reelection. Wallace Graham and Herald Hansen will both be running for re-election to the board, Hansen and Graham were the only two to file to have their names included on the ballot. Absentee ballots are available from Mr. Wallace Graham, secretary Board of Education. His address is 504 S. Main Street, Nashville. His telephone number is 852-9767. Application for absentee bal­ lots must be made not later than 2:00 p. m., Satur­ day, June 7. voters in the former Nashville school district plus the former Norton and Mayo school districts will be voting at the Kellogg Elementary building in Nash­ ville. Voters in the former Vermontville school dis­ trict will be voting in the kindergarten room at the Maplewood Elementary. Registered electors in the former N.

The Maple Valley Jaycee Kid Wrestling tourna­ ment was held Saturday, May 24. The boys 'that participated wrestled for three one-minute periods. The champion and runner-up were decided for each weight division. The winners for each weight divis­ ion were: Bantam, Fred Trumble; Feather, Pat Hick­ ey; Light, Randy Sebrell; Middle, Terry Jones; Light Heavy, Steve Carpenter and Heavy, Bob Shapley. The boys had two weeks of enjoyable practice, ending in a hard fought tournament. The Jaycees congratulate each boy for putting forth the effort to attend the clinics and for making this program a successful one. One of the objectives of the program was to develop a wholesome attitude toward com­ petition and hard work. This objective and several others were met. Ths Jaycees also like to thank the parents who allowed their boy or boys to participate in the wrestling program. Parents and boys should keep this National Jaycee Kid Wrestling motto in mind: "The important thing is not whether you win or lose, but that you do your best to win ano that you have wrestled.

MAPLE219VALLEY FLORAL No. Main Street NASHVILLE The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, May 29, 1969 852-9797 �Farm Calendar Routine business matters discussed by Council The village of Nashville had requested that the Michigan State Highway department give consider­ ation to painting a double yellow line on Main Street from Washington Street south to the railroad crossing. This was asked in order to remedy a traf­ fic problem by drivers crossing over into the left lane in order to pass another vehicle. In a letter read by the village clerk, Mrs. Ada Skedgell, it was stated the State Highway Department could not comply with the request because the traffic situa­ tion does not meet any regulation demanding the double yellow line. The paving on Maple Street for one block east to State Street has been completed. Ths work was done by Reith Riley of Battle Creek. In the report of the Nashville Police Department, the cruiser traveled 3, 246 miles, burned 396 gal­ lons of gasoline; policed six accidents including a car-deer accident on North Main Street, answered six civil complaints, served two circuit court papers, issued eight moving violation traffic tickets, issued several no parking tickets and investigated one breaking and entering complaint. The council voted to pay $250 to the Castleton­ Maple Grove fire board, and to send Tim Smith to the seminar at Boyne Mountain June 18-22 for train­ ing in operation of sewage disposal plants. State sales tax and state income tax monies are starting to trickle into Nashville's coffers so the vil­ lage council members Thursday evening approved paying some of the bills. A temporary shortage of funds has dogged the village for the past three months, hence some of the bills were tabled. The council renewed their contract with the State of Michigan for maintenance work on M-66 which is Nashville's Main street. The state will reimburse the village for its share_of sweeping, flushing and snow removaL The railroad crossing on Reed Street at the east village limits came up again for discussion. The Maple Valley School would like to see the street widened at this point for easier manipulation of school buses. Already the village has invested be­ tween $10, 000 and $15, 000 at this point, has put in advance warning signs and cut back the brush, and for the present, feels this is all that they can fi­ nance until more money is budgeted for future im­ provements. The village officials voted ten mills for the gen­ eral fund and five for highway. This will cover the budget of $134,113 set in March, and is an increase of 1. 8 mills over last year's 13. 2 mills. Taxpayers will also find a change in the length of time in which taxes may be paid this year with­ out penalty, and also a change in days in which the treasurer, Mrs. Marguerite Wilson, will be a­ vailable for such payment. The new rulings will be clearly printed on the tax sheets which will be in the mails soon after June 15. William Gibbs who heads the summer recreation program in little league activities asked for some financial assistance from the village. However, the request was tabled until more specific needs were listed. The village of Nashville, along with Ver­ montville has, for many years, assisted with the summer recreation program.

Well-meaning friends, neighbors, clergy­ men, doctors, should not pre­ sume to call a funeral director without consulting members of the family.

Tnere were 90 girls and mothers who sat down at tables decorated in brown, yellow' and green, the scout colors. The Brownie troop made flower pots, and May baskets, and napkins with flower stickers. These were presented to the mothers with two daughters and mothers with one daughter in scouting. The program started with songs by the Brownies. The first year girls received their friendship pins. A camping film was shown, and then the Juniors received their hard earned badges. There were sev­ eral to receive the Sign of the Arrow and Sign of the Star badge, the two most meaningful badges in the junior level. There are 15 juniors to leave and move up to the next level of scouting, the Cadettes. Special awards were given to the Brownie and Juniors with perfect attendance, almost half the girls. Some sort of a record in itself. Mrs. Bev Kelley received from the Michigan Council her five-year pin, signifying the years con­ tributed to the council as an adult leader. The last action the troops will do for this scout­ ing year will be to march in the parade unit for Memorial Day services. Through the summer the girls will try to get together to work on some sum­ mertime badges and just to have some fun together. Until next September when they will have weekly reports of the troops' adventures. _ Locals ' Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Stebleton of Battle Creek were Thursday night supper guests of Mr. and Mrs. M. J.

We would like to express our thanks for the placemats that were used at the Vermontville Ma­ ple Syrup Festival; also we would like to thank some other organizations: Maker's IGA in Nashville for helping with the food ordering for the football games in the fall; Johnny’s Food Mart for ordering Food for the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival; American Legion in Vermontville for letting us use their hall to fry sausages; Nashville Locker for freez­ ing our sausage until Festival Day.

To everyone who has helped with the Boost­ er projects in any way, we sincerely thank you. We would like to thank Mr. Droscha and the band members for the many public appearances within the Maple Valley community the past year. This takes lots of extra effort, not only for Mr. Droscha and the members of the band, but also the parents. We thank you. 1c Douglas Garn, president of the Band Boosters. Ten years ago a handful of citizen band radioop­ erators in the Hastings area banded together to form a CB club. It was named the Hastings Citizens Band Radio Club. - Now it has a membership-of more than 50 including persons from all over Barry County. The club is a non-profit organization set up to offer on­ ly a service to the general public. They work with Barry County Sheriff’s department and-focal law en­ forcement agencies in the various communities of the county. The club stands by at all times to assist in road emergencies, road patrol and in case of disaster such as fire, severe snowstorms, tornadoes, tracking lost children, as well as assisting in car breakdowns on the highways. Not long ago one member was credited with saving the life of a person injured in an auto accident. More than 50 percent of the club members have completed courses in medical self help and first aid courses, and radiological monitor­ ing. In years past they worked closely with the Civ­ il Defense units in the county. The Hastings Citizens Band Radio Club is one of three such clubs in Barry County. During the Mem­ orial weekend the club will be particularly active as they have been invited to assist with the canoe races at Charlton Park. They will police the races at each quarter mile along the route on Thornapple River, and- will keep score. To accomplish this they will be using autos equipped with citizens band ra­ dios, walkie-talkies, and they are presently build­ ing a trailer which they hope to put into use as a base station. Often when a call for help has come in many of the CBer’s have taken time off from their jobs to as­ sist. Too, they have several "practice mobile hunts” during the year to help perfect their work. Historical marker placed on courthouse lawn On Heritage Day, May 20, Mrs. Hilda Baas at­ tended the dedication of a historical marker on the Courthouse lawn in Hastings. This is a Michigan Historical Commission registered Sure site No. 291. Charles Harthy, president Barry County Historical ' Society gave the welcome. Flag salute was by Webelos Den Pack 3073 United Methodist Church. The Hastings high school senior choir, directed by Herb Moyer sang a few songs. Mrs. Amy Bower introduc­ ed the special guests. The dedication was given by Dr. Willis Dunbar, WMU, president Michigan His­ torical Commission. The marker was accepted by Monty Bennett, member of Historic Site Committee, Barry County Board of Supervisors who paid for the marker. Dr. Stanley Buck, pastor First United Meth­ odist Church, Hastings gave prayer of dedication and benediction. The text of the marker was; Early Hastings -Barry Co., organized in 1839, was named after US Post­ master General Wm. Barry. Hastings, the county seat, was platted in 1836 and chartered as a village in 1855. ’The present courthouse was completed in 1892. A newspaper was published here in 1851, and in 1869 the first railroad reached town. Dr. Wm. Up­ john, founder of the pharmaceutical firm that bears his name, established his practice here after the Civil War and perfected a process for the commer­ cial manufacture of the friable piU. Judge Ella C. Eggleston, one of the first women probate judges in the state, began her term of office here in 1919. Driver given citation for reckless driving Gary Ralph Henline, 16, of Vermontville, was the driver of a car involved in an accident Monday morn­ ing, May 26, at the Nashville Cemetery. Accord­ ing to officials, the car was traveling east on Fran­ cis Street and did not make the turn at East Street, and went across the road hitting the street sign and continued on into the cemetery. Approximately five tombstones were either broken or disrupted by the automobile. No one was injured. A citation was given the driver for careless driving and he is to appear in Juvenile Court, Hastings, next Monday. Passengers in the automobile with Henline were Kim Hansen, 15, son of Mt. and Mrs. Dean Hansen of Vermontville and Michael Schutte, 16, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Schutte of Nashville. Gary is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Henline of Vermont­ ville. Church News CLOVERLEAF CLASS The Cloverleaf Class will meet at the United Methodist Church on Phillips on Thursday, June 5, at 8:00 p. m. HYMN SING ON SUNDAY The Gresham United Methodist Church will spon­ sor a hymn sing Sunday evening, June 1st, at 7:00. Everybody is welcome to come. Bring your voice and your neighbor. Gresham Church is one mile nortn of Vermontville Highway on Mulliken Road. Last week the boardof directors met to organize more-efficient methods of handling future emergen­ cies. When the club members are on the highways they are always on the lookout to assist, and they have summoned help from a fire department or a police department on numerous occasions. Mean­ while they give immediate assistance to the person in need. One of the club's recent projects was to install ' road signs throughout Barry-County which bear the two channel numbers -- 9 and 12 — where help can be contacted immediately. This has proven most beneficial, especially to out-of-town persons pass­ ing through who have CB radios in their cars. In this project they were assisted by the Barry County CB Club. ' Three years ago the club started to raise money for a trailer. This will be used to transport equip­ ment and is to be used as a base station. All of the work in constructing the trailer is volunteer. The cost will be approximately $1,000. The trailer is to be equipped also with facilities for providing cof­ fee for the club members when they are out on a lengthy assignment. The wives of the club members have devoted many hours along with the men to raise money for the trailer. The projects have-included bake sales, raffles, car washes, club parties and many other e­ vents. And when the fellows are out on a call, the gals make sandwiches by the dozens and coffee by the gallons. The wives also play an important role in " manning" the base stations to correlate the work of the CBer’s. The club is made up of persons of all ages and professions, with but one aim — to be of public service. But it doesn't end there. The club has fun too. Only last weekend they had a campout at the farm home of club members Robert and Daisy Bowne near Dowling. They took their trailers, tents and what-have-you out for the weekend. They also have steak ttys several times during the summer months, and club members drop in on one another often for a friendly cup of coffee. The club meets the third Tuesday of the month in the gymnasium of Southeastern Elementary School in Hastings, and each Sunday evening at 9 p. m. they hold a meeting "on the air. " Club officers are elected annually and take over on May 1. This year the president is Phil Myers; vice president, Fred Wilcox; secretary, Bruce Mc­ Dowell; treasurer. Jack Barnes, and on the Board of Directors are Larry Murphy, Bob Conner, and Ger­ ald Mater who just completed his term as president. The equipment the club members use is varied. Some have very simple units costing only a few dol­ lars, while others have several hundred dollars in­ vested in elaborate base stations. One of the club members sums up the work of the CBer’s like this; "We, as a club, try to serve our area by doing good and aiding our county to make it a better and safer place in which to live and bring up our children. We want people to know that they can keep their minds at ease when they are out on the road, or in time of a disaster, knowing they have someone they can depend on. We, as a club, are at your service. ” Real Estate Auctioneering 25 1/2 ACRES--part tillable and balance woods; home has 5 rooms and bath; heated by oil furnace 2 small barns; only $9, 600.00 with terms; quick possession. 18 ACRES--between Charlotte and Vermontville; 3 bedroom home with oil furnace and bath; small barn; $2, 500. 00 down will handle. 10 ACRES--on blacktop highway near town and new school; natural gas available; sell all or divide.

Hilda Baas is to be congratulated on the fine job she has done with this book. It was a lot of work for Hilda, but she can be assured that she has produced a bit of his­ tory that will still be used when the village cele­ brates its two hundredth anniversary. .The opening of the new museum at Charlton Park appears to have been a big success.

MICHIGAN TO BE HELD JUNE 9, 1969 BACKSTREET BAROMETER A friend of mine was telling me the other day about what a great gardener he is. He isso great that he can keep blossoms on flowers for a month or more. Back in February his mother went to Florida for a month or so and asked my friend to take care of her house plants. Of course he agreed and after the moth­ er had been gone for a week or so he scooted over to her house to take care of the plants. He noticed that one of the plants was particularly lush and had some beautiful blooms. Because he knew his moth­ er would like to see the flowers he was particularly careful to water and care for that plant. When the mother came home she gave friend a bit of a bad time because he had failed to water one of • her plants, which was on its last legs, or roots, or leaves, or whatever a plant is on its last, when she got back. Til admit I missed that one, " friend said, "But didn't I do a good job on the one in the front room. Look, it still has the blossoms on it. ” "Of course it has. " the mother replied, "it's plas­ tic!" 543-2540 Anna Stambaugh ' Mrs. Anna L.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, June 5, 1969 (313) 874-0700 Call toll collect �Film series will feature early industry, crafts, Indians Charlton Park got off to a good start over the Memorial Day weekend with hundreds of persons taking advantage of the May 29th free open house at the Museiim and hundreds more attending the Canoe Race. By Sunday evening the number of $3 annual' county resident passes sold had come within 6 of the number sold during the entire 1968 season. Indeed a good start for the season by the park and museum. Something else new at the park didn't get off to quite such a good start, perhaps in part, because few people may have heard about it. The summer film series is a group of films sched­ uled for showing each Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening through the summer. They have been selec­ ted with an eye to telling the story of both what is happening at the park and telling the history of the area. The first week's film related to what a museum is and what is being done at other historic sights and villages. A film on "How Indians Build Canoes"was an added attraction to go along with the Canoe Race. The latter film is scheduled again the weekend of the Indian Pow Wow in August. The films were originally scheduled for showing outside after dark. The all-day activities of the canoe race, pony cart rides and picnics in the hot sun on Friday sent everyone home early, so there was no audience in the park by dark. So a change was made in the scheduling. Saturday and Sunday evening the films were shown inside the museum at 7 p. m. and a small audience was found for the showings. Future show­ ings will also be scheduled for 7 p. m. inside the air conditioned museum. It is felt the earlier hour and the freedom from weather and mosquitoes may attract more viewers. The films scheduled for the weekend of June 6,7 and 8 (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) evenings at 7 p. m. in the museum, include films on the early formation of the areaf'Gteat Lakes and How They Were Formed,'"1Geography of the North Central States, ""Succession from Sand Dunes to Forests" and "Animals of Prehistoric America." Future weeks will feature films on crafts, Indians, early industry, Michigan history and the like. As school finishes and the season starts, it is hoped more persons will avail themselves of this worth­ while film series and the museum. LAKEWOOD BAPTIST DRIVE-IN On Sunday, June 8, the staff from Youth Haven, Rives Junction, Michigan, will have charge of the 7:30 p. m. Drive-In service at the Lakewood Bap­ tist Church.

WOODARD'S MOBIL SERVICE Nashville Ph. 852-9541 �Nashville’s first big fire destroys five business places Nashville's lint big fire occurred the night of February 25, 1874, The mad ringing of the Metho­ dist Church bell brought people out of bed and men were running crying "Tire. The village of Nashville then was less than ten yean old and boasted about a thousand population. The business district was mainly composed of frame wooden buildings thrown up in a hurry of cheap lumber. The fire on that cold night in 1874, started at the rear of Philip Holler & Son's Hardware Store, which stood fronting Main Street in a long, narrow building closely paralleling Cherry Aliev. In other words, it stood where the south one-half of the present Keihl Hardware now stands. Within 20 min­ utes after the blaze was discovered there were sev­ eral hundred people on Main Street. Before the night was over, almost the entire population of the town and scores of country folks were on hand to witness Nashville's first really disastrous fire. With* in the course of three hours five business places were wiped out and two families were left home­ less. Although there was no wind the flames soon spread to the building next door north, which was owned by R. S. Brady and occupied by Ed. R. White ' Mr. White operated a meat market on the ground floor and he and his wife lived in an apartment a­ bove their store. They had retired for the night when the sound of shouting awakened them, a nd they dressed hurriedly and carried a few of their possessions into the street before the blaze envelop­ ed their building. Those first frame buildings had been built close together and it was only a matter of minutes before the third one was aflame. This next building, which was owned by C. C. Linsley, was occupied by C. A. Stebbins and Captain Boise, who operated a gener­ al store. They sold dry goods, groceries and many other Items, including gun powder and dynamite. Salvage of their merchandise was greatly hamper­ ed by the fear of an explosion at any moment. A­ bove their store E, J. Feighner operated a photo­ graph studio and he lost a new camera which h e valued at more than $200, Next building to break into flames was across the narrow alley. It was owned by C.C. Linsley and was occupied by Troutwine & Barlow as a barber­ shop and fancy store, with William Clark's harness stop on the second floor. Mr. Linsley lived in a small apartment at the rear of the barber shop on the ground floor. By this time the few level heads directing the fire fighting had decided drastic methods were nec­ essary to save the rest of the business section. After a hurried consultation it was decided to use dynamite, with the utmost caution on the Brady building, which was already past saving, and t o tear out the building which housed the News O f fice, in an attempt to halt the spread of the flames in the other direction. With the dynamiting glow­ ing burning timbers were blown a hundred feet in­ to the air. The flying debris started a few small new fires but nothing that could get out of control, and while bucket brigades wet down nearby build­ ings, the fire fighters concentrated on literally tear­ ing apart the frame building that housed the News plant. Ropes were made fast to vital points and with several hundred men and two teams of oxen strain­ ing to the task, the building was toppled over and hauled clear across the street, out of danger from flying sparks. Before this, Orno Strong, publisher of the News, had been busy carrying his possessions out of the shop and his final achievement was the rescue of the 1,100-pound press, which was picked up bodily b y about a dozen men and carried to safety. Young Strong had come to Nashville and started the News less than six months before and his estimated $300 loss from the fire was perhaps more of a blow than that suffered by some of his neighbors. True to the traditions of his business, Editor Strong issued a news­ paper two days later, and the biggest news of the week had to do with the fire. The story told in de tail how, after the News building was town down, teams of oxen hauled the larger postions away and how two lines of men were formed to pass water to the fire, while others swarmed onto the roof of D. C. Griffith's store next door and kept exposed parts cov­ ered with wet carpets and quilts. ’And thus", wrote Orno Strong, "Nashville's big fire finally was check­ ed. " Most of the residents of the town stayed up all night. Barrels of whiskey were broken open and set conveniently for anyone and everyone to partake of. Next morning few of the sawmills could operate be­ cause of missing employees. All in all, Nashville was lucky. Had there been a wind the newly built village would have been wiped out in a hurry. Naturally such a conflagration inspired talk of an organized fire department, but it took another 17 years to truly fill that need. On­ ly after the disastrous Lentz Table Factory fire in 1891 did the village get busy and provide an effic­ ient water system. The late 70's however, saw the construction of numerous fire wells - bricked-in cis­ terns underground in the business district for storing a reserve supply of water. Some of these old cisterns still exist underneath present sidewalks and streets. Cause of the big fire never was determined al­ though there was considerable talk at the time about its having been the work of an incendiary. The loss­ es fell heavily upon C. C. Linsley, who owned four of the buildings and who carried no insurance. He operated a patent medicine business and carried several thousand dollars worth of liquors and medi­ cines in his cellar for use in manufacturing pro­ cesses. His total loss was estimated at 36,000 and that of Holler & Son was set at the same figure. Holler had $2,400 worth of insurance, however. Stebbins & Boise and Ed. White also carried at least partly enough insurance, as did R.S. Brady. As for the News publisher, he carried no insurance at alL Club News BEJGH FARM BUREAU ~ The Beigh Farm Bureau Community group will meet Saturday, June 7th at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Maynard Perry.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION MEDICAL MAZE W ithout major surgery, the state Senate has pass­ ed a bill to eliminate tne legal-medical maze over human organ.transplants in Michigan. The measure sailed through the Upper Chamber in much the same form it was introduced three months ago by Sen. N. Lorraine Beebe, Dearborn Republican. Specifically, it designates who may donate a heart, kidney or other organ, and provides protec­ tion for physicians performing operations. Some doctors and hospitals in Michigan arc now reluctant to authorize transplant operations because of questions involving the medical, moral and leg­ al aspects of the issue. Anyone over 18 and of sound mind could will his organs for use after death if Sen. Beebe's bill makes it through the House and the Governor's office. Doc­ tors involved in the transplant procedure would be immune from liability. Other key provisiois designate accredited hospi­ tals, surgeons and medical schools as parties eligi­ ble to receive organs for transplant, and allow a n adult to make an organ gift by signing a document Locals Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Stableton of Battle Creek were Sunday evening visitors of Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Perry. Miss Esther M. Dull of Daytona Beach, Florida was a Friday guest of Mr. ano Mrs. William Justus. Miss Dull had spent about ten days visiting relatives. Mrs. Clarence Shaw and'son Roger Shaw of Grand Rapids flew to Seminole, Florida last Thursday and spent several days with the Rev. and Mrs. Lloyd - Mead. They also were guests of the Ronald Meads and Ray McDonalds of St. Petersburg. Clarence Shaw was a recent dinner guest of the Milo Shaws, and a lunch guest of the Charles Coxes of Middleville. Mt. and Mrs. Ralph Keller of Eau Gallie, Florida arrived last Sunday for a visit with their family and friends. They are staying at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Sheldon, and plan to stay through the ■ month of June.

There is also a provision for revoking the gift. University of Michigan medical experts, who have performed three successful heart transplants, stronglysupported the bilL TIME AGAIN . Michigan's difficulties over the time of day have taken another twist. The Upper Peninsula has been authorized to rejoin the lower part of the state in the Eastern Time Zone. Congressman Philip E. Ruppe, a Houghton Repub­ lican, announced the action ny US Transportation Secretary John Volpe. "Since the summer daylight time is not a legal option in Michigan, " Ruppe said, "opinion coming into my office and into the department of transpor­ tation ran nearly 10 to 1 in favor of Eastern Zone. " Two years ago, the federal government placed the UP in the Central Time Zone, saying us econ­ omic ties were closer with those in Wisconsin than those in lower Michigan. But three counties—Chippewa, Mackinac and Luce—at the eastern edge of the Peninsula, had de­ clared themselves in' the Eastern Zone. Now, Ruppe says, "some areas near die Wiscon­ sin border_express preference for Central Time. " He said there were indications that some areas at the western end of the Peninsula might decide to stay on Central Time. Ruppe, who represents the entire UP as well a s several lower Michigan counties, said the zone changes became effective April 27, and most of the nation went on daylight savings time. But Michigan voters last November decided a gainst going on DST. That means that Michigan, insteadofbeing intime-tune withNewYork, wulbein step with Chicago. With Volpe's ruling, however, most of the UP moved its clocks forward one hour to line up with the Lower Peninsula. FUN AND FIGHT A bill has been introduced in the Michigan House to give cities 80 percent of the $100 million r e creation bond money, and outstate areas 20 percent. Rep. James Bradley, Detroit Democrat, chief sponsor of the plan, said the money should go "where Michigan's problems are. " Gov. William G. Milliken has recommended 60 percent of the funds go to the cities. Conservation­ ists and their friends in the Legislature maintain voters approved the program with the understanding 70 percent would find its way to outstate area, and only 30 percent to the urban centers. But Bradley said there are lots of problems in the cities, "and the recreation money is a good way of straightening them out. " People living in the gnettos have as much right to recreational facilities as those who live in the suburbs and are able to get to statd parks and other facilities. ” Bradley's bill faces an uphill struggle.

There were 23 cars in the race and on the first lap of the race a crash occurred which ended the race for 10 cars and Sammy's car was one of those which did not re-enter the race. A car driven by Art Pollard crashed into the wall causing the crash. His car did re-enter the race and he completed it by winning the race. A,car driven by Gordon Johncock was also involv­ ed in the crash but his pit crew were able to get him back into the race and he finished in 8th place. Many local residents were pleased to watch as Sam­ my appeared in an interview on TV. Sammy will be racing again next Sunday and this race will also be televised. . Plan special Centennial issue A special issue of the Maple Valley News, the week of June 26, will contain a section devoted pri­ marily to the Nashville Centennial This section will Be pictorial in most part and will contain old and new pictures of Nashville and the accounts o f the happenings in conjunction with the Centennial celebration. Pictures from days past will be included as will many of the various cunent groups, dressed in their fancy centennial outfits. Voters in the Maple Valley School district voted down a $1,295,000 proposal by a 3 to 1 margin in Monday's annual school election. There were 587 "no" votes to 192 "yes." The electors in the former Nashville district, plus the former Norton and Mayo districts, voting in the Kellogg Elementary building, cast a total of 451 votes. There were 329 "no" votes to 121 “yes. " Those in the former Vermontville district, along with electors of the former North Kalamo and Gresh­ am districts cast a total of 337 votes at the Maple­ wood SchooL There were 258 "no" votes and 71 "yes." There was a total of eight spoiled ballots in the two precincts. Two candidates were re-elected ■ to the Board of Education for four year terms. Wallace Graham re­ ceived a total of 659 votes and Herald Hansen re­ ceived 621. The bond issue was for the purpose of erecting, furnishing and equipping a new middle school; con­ structing and equipping a boiler room addition to the Kellogg Elementary building in Nashville; construct­ ing and equipping a bus maintenance garage;acquiring additional land for site purposes; constructing and equipping playgrounds, and developing and im­ proving sites. The Board of Education had authorized the build­ ing program because of the enrollment figures which had increased faster than had been anticipated at the time of the last bond approval back . in 1963. At that time it was estimated die enrollment for this year would have been 1,595. Instead the figure had jumped to 1, 853, and the enrollment in the kinder­ garten this year is 178 pupils. At a meeting held last week Tuesday in the high school cafeteria, which was set up to inform the pub­ lic on all phases of the building program, it was the concensus of opinion of some erf those attending that they would be willing to furnish facilities to edu­ cate the children, but many objected to paying over $80,000 for bus storage and maintenance. Some felt too that a re-evaluation of classroom space was need­ ed, and that perhaps more thought should be given to adding classrooms on the present buildings. Now mat the bond issue has been defeated the board will have to take some action to provide more space for some of the elementary grades. Perhaps portable classrooms will be the answer until a favor­ able program is approved. Pat Babcock named administrative assistant Charles P. "Pat" Babcock, son of Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Babcock of Hastings, has been named to the position of administrative assistant to Representative James S. Farnsworth of Plainwell Babcock was elevated to the full-time staff post after serving six months as a three-days-a-week leg­ islative intern while completing his graduate studies in social work at Wayne State University. Instead of working in a one-to-one relationship with welfare recipients Babcock is now helping shape legislation that would affect Michigan's entire pub­ lic assistance program. As Farnsworth's aide, one of his major assignments has been to assist the veteran legislator in preparing legislation designed to i n crease the effectiveness of the state's welfare pro­ grams while at the same time reducing costs. Previous experience Babcock has had includes 4 1/2 years in public welfare work in the Kalama­ zoo, Berrien and Wayne County Social Services De­ partments, the State Social Services Department and Wayne State University School of Social Work. Students win free gifts The Maple Valley High School graduates of 1969 registered for free gifts at Vic Higdon's Jewelry Store.

Everything went fine until they got just a little past the Maple Valley High School when the weather suddenly turned blustery. Bob said they im­ mediately started for the shore out the wind became so strong that they could see they could not'make it. Bob got out of the canoe in water up to his arm-pits and pulled the canoe ashore. By this time the rain had started and it came so hard and so fast that the Hosmers had to take protection under the overturn­ ed canoe until the storm was over. That is just the way the Indians used to do it. roof. The entire house had fallen down and there was the roof resting on the basement. ' Now that the Centennial time is coming up I have some second thoughts about my beard. I have become rather proud of it and have just about de­ cided to keep it after the Centennial of the town is over. As I keep telling people, I can start working on my own personal centenniaL And that can't be too far away. ' +++++ Graduation time is coming up for the Maple Val­ ley High School and it means something a little ex­ tra for us this year. Our son Christopher is in the graduating class. This is somewhat of a milestone for the Boughtons. When we first came to Nashville, Chris was in kindergarten and was delighted to take the bus out to the Beigh School to attend Mrs. Materk kindergarten class. He reminded me the other day that this is the second graduation ceremony he will have gone through here in Nashville. Mrs. Mater used to have a regular graduation ceremony for the kindergarteners, cap and gown and all. Now he is really graduating and next fall will be going to Mich­ igan State to attend school. Photos Available Prints are available of photographs which appear in the Maple Valley News, either those taken by Mrs. Gladys Richardson or those ta­ ken by the News photographers. Prints are $2.00 for a 5x7 reprint and $3. 00 for an 8x10. K alamo SERVICE +++++ +++++ Harvey Versteeg was telling me about the cannon shoot that is going to take place at Charlton Park the weekend of our Centennial celebration and dur­ ing our conversation I got around to asking him where these old cannon came from. He explained that many of them are from court-house lawns. He ex­ plained that there was a period, not long ago when every town that wanted one could have a Civil War cannon. They were a dime a dozen, as it were. Now they have become collector's items. I told Harvey that I could remember some time after the Second World War that someone discovered an old warehouse filled with Civil War saddles. I asked him if he thought they still had a warehouse with some of these old cannon in it. He said it could very well be. Then he told me this story. Before the American Revolution the Military at Fort Ticondaroga ordered some cannon from a found­ ry in England. The guns were cast and started on tneir way to America, and were already at the dock in England when the Revolution started and they were delayed. They were stored in a warehouse some­ where at the dock and forgotten. Sometime in the late 1920's someone at the ware­ house discovered this shipment for Fort Ticondaroga and forwarded it, some 150 years after it had started. The guns are there now... Tney have never been used and now never will be. CQ ,N THE mrs.

Back in the early spring the house was an old looking place, just about ready to fall down. Then someone started working on it. They put a new roof on it, cut a big picture window in the front part, jacked it up and put blocks under it and took the partitions out. Last Wednesday; on the way to Lan­ sing the house was standing and work seemed to be progressing.

They have re-assembled the bones from a skeleton of a sheep which was found by Mr. Balch. They cleaned the bones, removed the 'cartilage and what other marerial was still on the, skeleton, and then began the slow and tedious job of re-assembling the bones. Gayion Fisher, custodian at the Kellogg School, made the metal frame so they could have a support for their finished product. Mr. Balch's comment was that the stu­ dents tackled the job with such enthusiasm and energy that he felt they gained so much from the project, the knowledge about the bone structure of rhe animal as well as good experience gained from working so closely with others. He said the skeleton would remain on exhibit in the class room. --Photo by Chris Boughton The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, June 12, 1969 - �Many inquiries received about Centennial art show • FORD MOTOR CO. • HENRY FORD MUSEUM • GREENFIELD VILLAGE 109 inviting rooms with all the comforts and conveniences. only 18 minutes from downtown Detroit via I-75.....Excellent dining, lounge and meet ing space smorgasbord every Thursday and Sunday evenings Swimming pool Tele. 313/2R3-2200 Jerri N^gle, Dale Morawski and Eunice Priddy take time from a busy afternoon of painting to anal­ yze possible entries for the Centennial Art Show, June 28.

Elks Lodge, made up of approximate­ ly 500 members, and the auxiliary order of Vivians numbering 47 members have again won some o u t standing awards in the Sure oflMichigan. They re­ cently returned home from the state convention bringing back with them five plaques, including a First place for money "per capita" given to promote Major Projects which is devoted to helping children in a wide variety of cases. There are 135,4)00 Elks enrolled in the 71 lodges in Michigan. They have given assistance in 603 ca­ ses throughout the state. The Hastings lodge had giv­ en a total of $2, 823. 38 to aid children, and has been involved in 40 cases. Their latest project is sending a blind boy from the Hastings area to Ro- . Chester on June 15. Here he will undergo training for a seeing eye dog, and will complete the training and bring back a dog in a matter of a few weeks. While the Elks' work has been primarily with Barry county children, there are no boundaries, and they have sought out children outside the county to give aid for a variety of handicaps. The Elks also brought back the President's Award for "best in the district;" the Vivians took a third place in " money donated to major projects;" a Na Tenth place for "entire money given" for major proj­ ects, and a 4th place for the 365 club, which is a "penny a day will help a child someday" project. Elton Sanderson, who has served as chairman of Major Projects since the Elks were organized in Has­ tings 12 years ago, is anticipating that someday a clinic can be set up whereby children can be check­ ed over right here in Barry County. "But that will be in the future, ” said Sanderson, "as it will take con­ siderable money to set up a desirable clinic. " American Standa rd HE AandTING AIR CONDITIONING GAS. ..OIL...

Michigan's Truck Driver of the Year Says: CONCENTRATION is the Key to Safe Driving * This little quiz Danny sometimes Rives friends gives them a pretty good clue as to what kind of driver they are. Want to try it? The last time you took the car out for a spin, did you: — leave parking lights burning upon your return? — leave a turning signal blinking unnecessarily? — drive off without sufficiently wiping or scraping win­ dows in inclement weather? If you just happened to answer “yes” to all three — watch your step. They’re common enough, everyday lapses, to be sure. But, says Hodowanes — these are signs of a driver "not concentrating and a driver not concentrating is not doing his best to drive safely.” "If you want to be a good driver and a safe one, you've got to CONCENTRATE on being one.” according to Michi­ gan’s No. 1 truck driver. He wheels a big semi through De­ troit’s busy traffic about 100 miles a dav between plants. There are a lot of stops and starts and plenty of tight cor­ nering. He has to CONCENTRATE! Fargo's bonded pure Penn Motor Oils will made your engine purr with the best of them I Why buy oil on the basis of cost alone... be sure it is bonded pure Pennsylvania Motor Oil. What could be better (and at Fargo it sells for less). WILLIAM BITGOOD Phone 852-9626 Got time to read and think about one more little tip from Michigan Truck Driver of the Year? It’s a good one and all of us should heed it every day, Danny says. Here it is: "Always stay clear-headed and never get behind the wheel in a depressed state. A wife can be very helpful to her hus­ band by seeing that he doesn’t leave home each morning with a lot of problems on his mind.” ... So. when you’re driving, just concentrate on driving and nothing else, says this No. 1 professional driver. That’s really all you’ve got time to do . . . safely. Right?

THURSDAY, JUNE 19, 1969 NUMBER 4 Fire causes much damage Members of the Nashville Volunteer Flre Depart­ ment work on the roof of the VFW Hall during the fire which destroyed much of the interior of the old­ er part of the building last Sunday. --Photo by John Boughton Fire swept through the older portion of the VFW Hall in Nashville, Sunday, causing considerable damage to the inside of the building and the fixtures. The newer part of the building, the cement block addition which only recently was built on to the old railroad station, escaped the flames. The blaze was. discovered when Paul Schaub a r rived at the hall to open it at about 11:45. As Schaub started to open the door he noticed smoke coming from inside the building. Don Augustine, a volunteer fireman happened to be passing by and turned in the alarm. At about the same time that Schaub and Augus­ tine noticed the fire, James Rizor saw smoke coming from the vents on the roof of the building and he call­ ed the fire department. Prompt action on the part of the fire department confined the fire to the older part of the building. The origin of the fire was unknown at the time of preliminary examination of the building, but it would appear that the blaze started in one of the rest rooms. The fire fire is being investigated by the State Fire Department. The building hrd been occupied the evening pre­ vious to the fire. The hall had been cleaned and the door locked about 3:00 a. m. The Hall was.the result of much hard work and ef­ fort on the part of the members of the VFW and of the Auxiliary. A new kitchen and bar had been in­ stalled in the former depot and the new block addi­ tion had been ouilt largely with volunteer labor do­ nated by the members. ' Saturday, just a day before the fire a new air con­ ditioning unit had been installed in the building. The air conditioner is in the newer part of the building and appears not to have been damaged by the fire.

Often the VFW would come to. the fore to supply necessary housing, clothing and help for families who have been burned out. Now the shoe is on the other foot. Now the members of the VFW need help because the VFW has been burned. The Nashville VFW has been a result of plenty of hard work on the part of a few members of the or­ ganization. They have worked long hard hours to provide the Hall which has been a meeting place for all of the organizations in the village. The wo­ men of the auxiliary have cooked and served tons of food to help pay for the building and the fixtures. Now, with part of the VFW hall burned out, that organization is in need of help.

CITIZENS ELEVATOR CO, At Vermontville or Nashville 726-0514 The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, June 19, 1969 852-9289 �Hosts Cannon Shoot Rebel yells, the boom of the authentic Civil War cannon, the heavy smell of burned gun powder, the sights, the sounds, the ex-, citement of a real live Civil War skirmish are in store for the hun­ dreds of spectators expected at the Invitational Cannon and Musket Shoot to be held Saturday and Sunday, June 28 and 29, at Charlton Park, located one half north of M-79, on the Thornapple River, way between Nashville and Hastings. The newly renovated park, half way between Hastings and Nash­ ville, will ring to the sounds of battle as teams compete with authen­ tic cannons and muskets in target accuracy. More than 100 men in colorful Civil War uniforms are expected to take part in the two-day skirmish which will include the firing of pos­ sibly twenty cannons, and an .1883 Gatling Gun. Saturday’s warm-up shoot will start at 11:00 a. m. and will wind up at 1:00 p. m. Immediately after the competition on Saturday, the gun crews will go to Nashville where they will add color to the Cen­ t ennial Parade. After the parade in Nashville the gun crews will return to Charlton Park where they will attend a square dance. The dance, which is o­ pen to the public, will start at 8:00 p. m. Sunday's shoot will start at noon and will include two artillery e­ vents in which authentic cannons will be used. Between the two a r tillery events a colorful musket skirmish will be held. According to Harvey Versteeg, Director of Charlton Park and the Barry County Museum, the units attending the skirmish will represent the Confederate as well as Union forces. The 13th Alabama Infantry, composed mostly of men from Grand Rapids will set up a real rebel camp, complete with lean-tos and pole shelters. Units from Michigan. Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Illinois will be represented in the activities. The 4th Michigan Infantry, made up of men from the southern pan of the state will be among the participants. Also expected to attend the skirmish will be members of the 5th Michigan Artillery, compos­ ed of men from Battle Creek, St. Johns and Lansing, the 5th Virginia Cavalry, from Milwaukee, the 4th Texas Infantry of Wyandotte and the 15th Virginia Cavalry from Birmingham, Mich. Versteeg expects some 20 cannons to be unloaded at the park for the shoot. He explains that most of these pieces have been rescued from the junk heap. Some of them are guns that once were on court house lawns and were discarded to be picked up and restored by the Civil War buffs who shoot them. Among the cannons to be used will be a bronze Napoleon, one of the most popular artillery pieces of the Civil War. This was a copy of a French gun named for the Emperor Napoleon, himself a famous artilleryman. The Napoleon gun weighed about half of what previous guns with the same performance and caliber weighed. Even so, the Napoleon weighs more than half a ton and was pulled by 6 horses. Other cannons at the shoot will include 3 inch Ordinance Rifles, six pound brass field guns, standard equipment of Civil War artillery units, and 10 pound Parrott rifles, named for its designer, the fore­ man of the West Point Foundry which produced them. ESKIMO WILLIE IMUDLUK PROCLAIMS: Paul Hosmer suffers fatal heart attack Members of the Volunteer Fire Department answered an inhalator call Tuesday afternoon to the Paul Hosmer home in Nashville but were un­ able to revive Mr. Hosmer after he had apparent­ ly suffered a heart attack. Mr. Hosmer, 69, had been working in his yard with others putting in a driveway. A complete obituary will be printed in next week's issue of the Maple Valley News. Frost-free Refrigerator Automatic Ice Maker Willie Imudluk, who recently visited Michigan, really lives on the edge of the Arctic. Even though his family enjoys the convenience of a modern refrigerator, Willie nearly jumped out of his snowshoes when he saw the new frost-free model with the automatic ice maker. We know you will, too. Every man will love the luxury of a never-ending supply of ice cubes, the convenience of no more ice tray filling or spilling. And wouldn't you like to get rid of that dreaded defrosting chore — the chopping, slopping and mopping — with a refrigerator that defrosts itself automatically? See the new frost-free refrigerator with the automatic ice maker today. Like Willie, you and your family will proclaim, "We re sold!" Most of the residents in the Nashville area have searched their attics, basements, garages, and other hide-aways for articles which could be shown at the Nashville Centennial being held next week. At the Myrton Watrous residence these two very old nightgowns were located, having been treasured over the years. The women shown modeling the "gowns" have, on several occasions, worn them to work--at the bank. The one being worn by Mrs. Watrous is styled with numerous fine, hand-sewn tucks, at the yoke with inserts of delicate crocheting. She is holding a very old lamp. Mrs. Vernon Wheel­ er, shown with the very old candle holder, is wear­ ing a gown trimmed at the neckline and cuffs with very fine knit lace. Photo by Gladys Richardson tfaURDEaLGR!

Foote of 220 Phillips Street was elected US Jaycee Director for Region " D" of the Michi­ gan Jaycees, at a regional meeting held in Ionia on April 28, 1969. Gary is very proud of the support he received from past president Lee McMillen and the Maple Valley Jaycees and Jaycee Auxiliary. During nis campaign, Jerry Reese handled all ar­ rangements and promotions; Gary feels that the fine management of nis campaign-by Jerry was one of the main reasons for his successful election. Gary assumed the role of his new office on June 1 and nis pace has picked up considerably. Gary now serves Jaycee chapters in the counties of Eaton, Clinton, Barry, Allegan, Ottawa, Kent and Ionia. In addition to these duties, he is a member of the United'States Jaycee Board of Directon and meets in Tulsa, Oklahoma twice a year. Gary has been assigned the portfolio of Community Relations and serves not only his region, but the State organiza­ tion. Gary has accomplished in one year and a half what an average Jaycee might accomplish in a life­ time of-Jaycee activity. He became a member of the Jaycees in March of 1968 when he was charter president of the Maple Valley chapter. In January of this year, he resigned his position to become vice president of District #11, serving 10 chapters. Now m June, he is US Jaycee Director of Region D, serving 28 chapters. Gary's ability to do his job will depend much on the support and backing he receives throughout this coming year from the Maple Valley Jaycees and their new president Larry Filter. In addition to his involvement with the Jaycees, Gary is employed by the Michigan Department of Commerce, Securities Bureau as a securities exam­ iner. New Arrival .

Volunteer help needed at Charlton Park Museum The Barry County Museum is scheduled to be open ten hours a day, 10 a. m. until 8 p.m. seven days a week. During the week, staff membets open the museum vfhen visitors come during the day. Volun­ teers staff the building in the evening hours when they are available and the director stays late other evenings. Weekends through June have been staffed by vol­ unteers from Nashville who come in costume to ad­ vertise the coming Nashville Centennial the week­ end of June 26 to 28. Due to the Centennial, they will not be at the museum the weekend of the 28th and 29th, and members of the Hastings Senior Cit­ izens Club will be hosting during the muzzle load­ ing cannon matches to be held at the park that weekend. '. ' j The rest of the weekends are yet to have volun­ teers scheduled. The only skill needed is friendli ness and some spare time. Call the park office 945­ 3775 or the director's home 945-2875 if you are in­ terested in giving some of your time to the mu­ seum. Incidentally, there are dozens of other projects for volunteers to do at the park ranging from very simple one-person projects to ones that would take a crew of people months. The museum will mail a list of such projects to fit any time, talent or pock­ etbook to anyone interested. Junk cars cannot be taken to local dump Nashville residents are reminded that bolding a card to use the village dump does not entitle them to haul junk cats there. One such case was enough to stir the council members at their meeting last week Wednesday evening. The cost of crushing a junk car and covering it with the use of a bulldozer is "much too much. '*The only, possible way would be for the car owner to take the car apart and flat­ ten it before hauling it to the dump, and the coun­ cil frowns on that. The council voted to pay for 16 new helmets for little league baseball players. Nashville, for several years, has partially supported a summer recreation program, and this summer the need is for this equip­ ment. The helmets will cost in the neighborhood of $7. 00 each. Robert Bitgood, one of the village street employ­ ees, was present to get a clearance of answering fire calls while on the job, since he is also a mem­ ber of the volunteer fire department. Permission was granted, unless he is working on a village emergen­ cy. Ft A new fire barn is needed to house the equipment of the’ Castleton-Maple Grove Township fire fighters. The present fire bam site is owned by the village, and recently Castleton Township made arrangements to purchase the former blacksmith shop to the north. Both sites will be needed for the new building, and before the issue comes to a vote some changes will have to be made so that pnly one governing body owns the property involved. It is understood the township plans to ask millage for a new fire barn next faU. In other business the contract for maintenance of the police car radio equipment is to be terminated, and there was discussion of fencing of all swimming pools within the village. Because of the Centennial celebration, the next council meeting will be held Monday evening, June 23, instead of Thursday, June 26. WE HAD A WINNER !

People have to open up to one another—the answer to how, is the most im­ portant thing going down in the world today—itsolves the problem of "failure to communicate"--love, un­ derstanding, brotherhood. Now. here's where I really accomplish something in this speech. -Donovan says, " Love is like blood - once we do without it, we get into trouble.

I'm sure you've all heard the phrase ' what we have here is a failure to communicate" used in re­ lation to the current situation of the US and the , world. Lack of communication is a huge problem­ in fact, it lies at the root of ail our problems; prob­ lems between nations, between groups, between generations, and between individuals. And the reas­ on for this widespread failure to communicate is misunderetanding. People just aren't taking the SALUTATOR1AN SPEECH BY VICKI LUNDSTRUM time to try to understand each other.

All great men were not in the past, nor will they be just in the future. The youth have their Einsteins, their Lincolns and Thomas Jeffersons, Columbus' and Ben Franklins. They are here, now, in this graduation class of 1969. Yes," they are here--wait­ ing. Waiting to voice opinions, minds filled with ideas and a wanting for a better tomorrow. Sure, many ideas will not be practical, they will not work, but doesn't youth have the right to be wrong? We've always been told we learn through our mistakes, and real learning comes from exper­ ience. ’ The youth today are hopeful, hopeful, that they will see the day when there will be no more war, when people can be at peace within themselves without fear of hunger and poverty, when black and white can live together without prejudice, and when people can listen to others’ ideas without condemning before hearing. Yes, today's youth are hopeful to see that day, but more than this, they will be helping to make that day—helping to make a better tomorrow. In conclusion I would like to read this poem I wrote... Longing for freedom. Crying for truth. We want change, We are the youth. The day has not ended And tomorrow is not gone, When one can still hear Youth's hopeful song. We sing of love, Black and white hand in hand, And peace Throughout this great land. We sing with our dreams. Love, ideas and hope. We are the youth. No dream is impossible in our scope. We want tomorrow Better than today, A nd with help from above We will find the way.

During the period December 1967 to July 1968 he astutely surmounted extremely adverse conditions to obtain consistently superior results. Through dili­ gence and determination he invariably accomplish­ ed every task with dispatch and eniciency. His un­ relenting loyaltv, initiative and perseverance brought him wide acclaim and inspired others to strive for maximum achievement. Selflessly work­ ing long and arduous hours, he has contributed sig­ nificantly to the success of the aUied effort. His commendable performance was in keeping with the finest traditions of the military service .and reflects distinct credit upon himself and the United States Army.

(Persons who read the other side must stand the ronaequences.) BAROMETER BACKSTREET This is the big week. This is the time we have waited 100 years for. Actually, our town has not changed terrifically in the last 100 years; oh, we have paved the streets, we have put street lights up, some businesses have gone, others have opened. All of the people of 100 years ago are gone and new ones have replaced them, nut we're still pretty much the same - a small coun­ try town, we have not grown much in the last 100 years. Oh, we might have added some population, out we’ve lost some business places. So, we are a­ bout the same. I wonder what the new century will have for us. . One hundred years from this week, will Nashville be the same? Indeed, will Nashville even be here? One hundred years ago, the village of Maple Grove was something. Today, Maple Grove could not even be recognized as a village. Quimby, Morgan -they'regone. Perhaps that is the fate of Nashville. With transportation what it is, with services being offered from the larger centers close-by, perhaps Nashville will become a Quimby or a Maple Grove. On the other hand, our population is constantly increasing. Predictions by those who know are that Battle Creek will be the big metropolis between Detroit and Chi­ cago. Should these predictions prove true, Nash­ ville would be on the perimeter, the suburbs of this great metropolis. One hundred years from this week, Nashville might be part of a big city. It might be one of the meccas of the new world, or if we con­ tinue along the lines we have been going recently, it could be a burned-out cinder on a world that is a burned-out cinder. We, you and I, today, this week, hold it within our power to decide which way Nash­ ville will go. We can pollute, destroy and litter un­ til we have nothing. We can fail to communicate with each other until we accomplish this - the end of it, or we can made of this, our village, the mec­ ca of the new world. It is up to us - you and me we are the ones who decide. But, the town is gay and decorated for this, our Centennial. They say the first 100 years are the hardest. Maybe that's true. Perhaps the second 100 yean will be easier. Maybe in the second 100 yean, people will understand each other. Maybe people will understand their relationship to nature and may­ be in the year 2069, indeed, Nashville will be a suburb, green, cared for, the center of the new world. In any event, here now, at the end of our first 100 yean, we are going to have at least one week of fun before we go into the hard work of the sec­ ond one hundred years. Buildings throughout the town are being repainted and spruced up for the Cen­ tennial celebration. Wally Planck's building has 6^ j°hn boughton come out a delightful shade of purple. Everyone in town seems to be in the spirit or the thing with most of the business people using window displays that tie in with the Centennial Maker's have an antique spinning wheel and flat irons and a beautiful display of dishes. Leon Ackett's window is loaded with old pictures. He also has the time_capsule on display. Kelley has a display of old clay marbles, an old un­ iform and an old picture. Lee's Cut Rate has a dis­ play of old clothes and old shoes. Douse Drug Store (by the way, that store goes back 100 years), has a display of old prescriptions. Johnson's warehouse has been repainted and has a display of old furniture, with an old phonograph. Loren Dingman's is. loaded with antiques, including old wagon wheels and an old wooden wheelbarrow. Ann Best has a display of old lamps and clothing and shoes in the Family Store window. Stop and Shop is loaded with antiques. They have them on the shelves, and all over the place, in­ cluding a genuine cracker barrel in the front window. Of course, the Flea Market always has antiques. Mrs. Nicholas has a display of old tools and an old wooden water pipe and pictures. Lathrop has a very attractive display of miscellaneous old items. .John­ son's Furniture Store has one window that is made up like a room in an old house. I'm certain I've missed a lot of them but these are the ones I can remember right off the top of my hat. These window displays, in many cases, are the re­ sult of work of a number of people. Many of the i­ tems on display in the windows have been brought in by people for display during this centennial time. Leslie Adams came in the other day to explain that there is a picture of his sister with a horse 1 n the Centennial Book. Adams brought a picture and told us that the horse was his horse and his name, of all things, was Walter. The picture, which is on this page, snows Leslie riding Walter on the day of the Armistice of the first World War. This victory parade was quickly made up in Nashville on that day and Adams, at the last minute, made up a dummy which symbolized the Kaiser. He tied a rope around Wal­ ter's middle and dragged the dummy after him. Les­ lie said he became the high point ot the parade, with he and Walter dragging the Kaiser down the street. The picture of Adams on his horse shows the main street in Nashville in 1918. The picture was taken right at the corner where the Laundramat is now. Leslie said when the parade was over, all the kids in town took the dummy, which had a big mustaschu made of horse hair, down the river and threw him in. Services for Paul B. Hosmer, 69, of 207 North State Street, Nashville, were held Friday at 2 p. m. from die Vogt Funeral Home, Burial was made in Lakeview Cemetery, with graveside services under the auspices of the Veterans of Foreign Wats, Post, No. 8260.

(letter to EDITOR | This letter is a copy or one that was sent to Sirpt Carroll Wolff of the Maple Valley Schools. Olivet, Michigan June 16, 1969 Dear Sir: I wish to resign as teacher in the Maple Valley Schools. I will be starting a new education program in the Mar Lee School district near Marshall in Sep­ tember. I would particularly like to thank Mrs. Schantz and Mis. Reid for their advice and counsel during the last four years. During this time we have seen much improvement in some of our special education stu­ dents in the areas of social, emotional and academ­ ic growth. I feel that this program has been very ben­ eficial to our district. Sincerely Mrs. Mary E. Eversole Someone gave Bunnie Shaw the postcard which is an this page also. This apparently was a postcard sent out by the Nashville News way back in the time of the first publisher, Omo Strong. Apparently the card was sent out as a subscription notice. The card is very old and very difficult to read, but we thought it would be of interest. We've tried to make this issue something special because of the number of pictures we've had of old times and because of all the work that people have done. Some of these pictures are so old that they do not reproduce too well. The picture on the front page was taken about 1870 and rar as we know it is the oldest picture of Nashville around. This is own­ ed by Martin Graham and he was kind enough to let us use it.

NNIAL SPECIAL Swiss & Round Steak Thurs., Frl. & Sat. 9 * 5:30 - Saturday 9-9- Friday The Eaton County Historical Society members and friends enjoyed a visit to the Michigan Sure University Museum, Thursday evening, June 19, ac­ companied by Vai Berryman of Williamston, Cura­ tor of Historical Artifacts. Several interesting exhibits were seen on the way to the larger display!. Old railroad tools hanging on the wall of a depot made an authentic setting for a window looking onto a 4th of July scene, an old steam engine on the tracks, trimmed in red, white and blue bunting, brass band on the side and a group of people waiting. An old log cabin, brought from the upper penin­ sula, piece by piece, and re-erected with Mr. Ber­ ryman's guiuance is a masterpiece of art. The country store is complete with its pickle jar, cracker barrel, spitoon, pot-belly stove, checker board, moldy cheese and alL A gramophone was in the window and Mr. Berryman turned it on for his guests. The "cash draw’ was given to the mu­ seum by Ozelma Shance, of Potterville, ft was used by her father, Dennis Carl, in his Potterville store until 1935 and was formerly used by Carmi Spears, an earlier Potterville merchant. In front of the old country kitchen stood the familar wash stand, soap, towel and comb, with mother hen and chicks underfoot. Inside, the cook and hired girl are busily preparing and serving din­ ner for thrashers who can be seen seated at the ta­ ble in the dining room. A look at the fruit cellar shows the old way of preserving food. s. An old voting booth was complete with newspa­ pers, pictures and buttons. With a few changes it will become an old time barber shop. Folk lore, animals of America and three hundred years of warfare completed the circle. These things can be seen daily by visitors but having things explained by Mr. Berryman made it much more meaningfuL . . The last stop was at Mr. Berryman's workshop where he told how the displays are made. He is completing the models for the fur-trading display and beginning work cm a group of "remember the last time you': were chased by a swarm of bees; slid down a hay-mow, had troubles in the back­ house and other sweet "memories". Eaton County Historical Society members are ea­ gerly hoping that they will soon have their own museum to protect their treasures for future gener­ ations to enjoy.

JUNE 26. 1969 Nashville �Art shows important in history of Nashville An and an shows have a big pan in tbe history of Nashville. With the exception of two years, summer an shows have been held in the commun­ ity even' yeas since 1949. The first show was a two-day affair and was held in Central Park on August 19 and 20, 1949. Approx­ imately 350 persons signed the guest register for this first show. It was sponsored by the Nashville An Group Society, an organization with four mem­ bers. These four ladies. Mary Holman, Helen Strong, Ada Scon and Lelia Lentz, decided they had enthusiasm for an and holding an exhibit of paintings was something they panicularly wanted to do. Thirteen local artists exhibited in this first show. Mrs. Holman was the instigator of holding clothes­ line an shows in Michigan and tbe first show in Nashville had paintings and other an work hung on clotheslines between the maple trees in the park. She had exhibited previously in West Palm Beach and at Delray, Florida. She studied in the east for many years and her seascapes and watercolors were panicularly popular. Mrs. Strong had come to Nashville seven years before this first an show. Her mother, Minnie Jarvis, was a well-known anist and had paintings in the Louvre in Paris and the National Gallery in London. Mrs. Strong had studied art at Ontario College of Art. Mrs. Lelia Lux more Lentz (Carl) taught music and an in the Nashville schools, and Mrs. Ada Scott (J. Mearle) studied art as a girl as a hobby. At the third show the members of the Nashville An Club donated four paintings and these were given away at a drawing held in the park. In subsequent shows, drawings were occasionally held for paintings and art work, in the 1964 show, a total of 14 pieces of art were donated by the exhibiting artists and these were given as prizes in a drawing. At this particular j bow, a Mr. Harry Brown from Grand Rapids had an easel set up ana did oil painting during the show. Don Altemus, curator of the Kingman Museum in Bettie Creek, also did charcoal sketches. A group of local musicians made up a German band and they strolled through the park providing music. Baskets of gladioli, donated by the village, circled the center of the park. Members of the adult oil painting clan at the high school served as hosts and hostesses for the show in 1964. They wore colorful berets made by one of the members and a reception for all the exhibiting artists was held following the closing of the art show. During the 1962 show, a representative was present from WXYZ-TV and movies were taken of the show and interviews conducted with several of the exhibit­ ing artists. Michael Church from the Extension Service of the University of Michigan also attended the show. His comment at this show was that the entire community should get behind the art show and publicize it and really let the state know of the show. He also commented on the high calibre of the an work exhibited. Many artists sold art work at these summer shows. During this period of time, Mrs. Holman, who had a gallery in her home for several years, bought an old nlaclsmith shop on Main Street across from Putnam Library and converted this into a Gallery. She later sold the building to the Fire Department and. then moved her gallery back to her own home. The shows had experienced unusually good luck, weather wise. The show in X961 was the tint one which had to be held indoors. This show was held in the Masonic Temple, but as the weather cleared, artists moved their exhibits out on the lawns at the nearby homes. Plans are underway now for an art show to be held on Saturday during the Centennial Week. Mrs. Eunice (Lloyd) Priddy is chairman in charge of these anangements. The interest in art has not been entirely limited to oil painting or watercolors although this seems to have the greatest following. Mrs. Eunice Priddy has given instruction in pastel work (as well as oil painting) to a group of adults meeting in her home and also a group of 4-H students. Linda Cheeseman, also having a 4-H class, is very adept at photo tinting; Jane Shoup, with her interest in hex signs and painted tinware, has been a popular speaker at.many club meetings. Jerry Shoup executes deli­ cate wood carving and has a carved totem pole in the yard at his home. Amy Boughton, interested in graphics, primarily does woodcuts, silk screens and block printing. John Boughton has had several exhib­ its of his unusual photographs. Mn. Hugh Feighner does band painting of china. There are many more persons in the area interested and involved in some aspect of art-most of them devoting their spare time to their intriguing and sometimes profitable hobby. Elected to membership Forty-five Ferris State College men students have been initiated into Phi Eta Sigma, national honor­ ary scholastic fraternity for male freshmen, at the spring quarter initiation banquet. Students elected to Phi Eta Sigma must take a 3. 50 average (out of a 4.0) during one term of their freshman year. From Nashville, Brian J. Simon, son of Mr. and Mis. John Simon, owner of Douse Drug Store, was initiated into the fraternity. Pictured above are some of tbe young people who will appear Saturday evening with Kendall Guy, a former Nashville resident.

Cannon and Shoot to June 28 arid 29, at Charlton ‘ Park, located north of M-79, on the Thornapple River. The newly renovated park, half way between Hastings and Nash­ ville, will ring to the sounds of battle as teams compete with authen­ tic cannons and muskets in target accuracy. Mote than 100 men in colorful Civil War uniforms are expected to take part in tbe two-day skirmish which will include the firing of pos­ sibly twenty cannons, and an 1883 Gatling Gun. Saturday's warm-up shoot will start at 11:00 a. m. and will wind up at 1:00 p. m. Immediately after the competition on Saturday, the gun crews will go to Nashville where they will add color to the Cen­ t ennial Parade.'* After the parade in Nashville the gun crews will return to Charlton Park where dance. The dance, which is o­ here they will attend a square . . pen to tbe public, will start at 8:00 p. m. Sunday's shoot will start at noon and will include two artillery e­ vents in which authentic cannons will be used. Between the two ar­ tillery events a colorful musket skirmish will be held. According to Harvey Versteeg, Director of Charlton Park and the Barry County Museum, the units attending the skirmish will represent the Confederate as well as Union forces. The 13th Alabama Infantry, composed mostly of men from Grand Rapids will set up a real rebel camp, complete with lean-tos and pole shelters. • Units from Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Illinois will be represented in the activities. Tbe 4th Michigan Infantry, made up of men from the southern part of the state will be among the participants. Also expected to attend the skirmish will be members of the 5th Michigan Artillery, compos­ ed of men from Battle Creek, St. Johns and Lansing, tbe 5th Virginia Cavalry, from Milwaukee, the 4th Texas Infantry of Wyandotte and the 15th Virginia Cavalry from Birmingham, Mich. Versteeg expects some 20 cannons to be unloaded at the park f o i tbe shoot. He explains that most of these pieces have been rescued from the junk heap. Some of them are guns that once were on court house lawns and were discarded to be picked up and restored by the I Civil War buffs who shoot them. Among> the cannons to be used will be a bronze Napol Napoleon,. one of the most popular artillery pieces of the Civil War. Tnis iwas ---------a copy * of .. . ■ —•* a- famous r------- t ' a French gun named for the Emperor Napoleon, himself artilleryman. The Napoleon gun weighed about half of what previous guns with the same performance and caliber weighed. Even so, the Napoleon weighs more than half a ton and was pulled by 6 horses. Other cannons at the shoot will include 3 inch Ordinance Rifles, six pound brass field guns, standard equipment of Civil War artillery units, and 10 pound Parrott rifles, named for its designer, the fore­ man of the West Point Foundry which produced them. Due to the live firing of cannon, muskets and a galling gun during the June 28th and 29th Muzzle Loading Cannon Matches in Charlton Park, all citizens are warned NOT to enter the area behind the targets on those dates. This zone <" of possible danger lies within the area south of River Road, between Sundago dago Park and Charlton Park Road. It is expected spent ammunition will stop in the hill area immediately 1behind the targe but there is a chance of a wild shot passing into the area described a bove. The safest place to be is behind tbe firing line, watching tbe events.

It had been pre­ pared by the village clerk. Mt*. Ada Skedgell. The council members asked that they have a chance to review the report in detail and be prepared for a thorough discussion at the next meeting. Thursday evening, July 10. Monday night’s meeting had been set up early this week because of tbe Centennial celebration starting Wednesday evening and continuing through Saturday. A congratulatory letter regarding Nashville's Cen­ tennial was received from the Rules and Resolutions Committee of the Barry County Board of Supervisors. In part it said, "Congratulations to Nashville and community for the pan they have played in the life and formation of our county, and we give this sa­ lute to the residents, both past and present, for this splendid effort. " Tbe council has received an.invitation to attend the 71st meeting of the Michigan Municipal League to be held in Grand Rapids at the Pantland Hotel on September 10, 11 and 12. Permission was granted some of the Centennial Belle groups for a sidewalk washing ceremony to be staged Wednesday evening as a part of the Centen­ nial celebration. The council has been approached to consider mak­ ing Water Street and the alley back of Main Street to the west of the stores as a one-way street. After considerable discussion Village President Harold Christiansen appointed Don Skedgell and Ben K e n yon to make a further study of the situation and re­ port at the next meeting. Permission was given to park antique cars on Ma­ ple Street from the office of the Maple Valley News to State Street for two hours, 4 to 6 p. m. on Satur­ day of this week in order that persons interested may look over the old automobiles. In making his monthly report to the council Act­ ing Police Chief Kendall Wilcox reported the police cruiser had traveled 2,778 miles; used 247.2 gallons of gasoline; answered several citizens' complaints; handled ten traffic violations; policed two property damage accidents; two personal injury accidents; make two arrests; given seven assists to other police departments; cleared one breaking and entering case and investigated two fires.

Youth Day parade Thurs. Art Show highlights Centennial One of the highlights of the Nashville Centennial is the Art Show. It will open on the lawn of Putnam Public Library at 10 a. m. , continuing to 5 p. m. Judging from early registrations this could easily be the largest show ever to be held in Nashville. Mrs. Eunice Pnddy, local chairman, has had correspon­ dence with over 100 artists including many from oth­ er states. One unique feature of the show will be the fact that four generations in one family will have their work on display. They are Mrs. Virginia Higdon-Kel­ ler. formerly of Nashville and now of Eau Gallic, Fla., her daughter, Mrs. Eunice Priddy; her grand­ daughter, Mrs. Dale Ann Morowski, and her great­ granddaughter, Duska Morowski, age 2. Painting seems to be a natural talent in the family, as Mrs. Keller’s grandmother, three other children of Mrs. Keller's and Mrs. Morowski's son, Dominic, age 5, also paints. Mrs. Keller started painting as a little girl in North Dakota. Her first painting was a Plymouth rock hen. She has exhibited in many art shows in Florida and her favorite subjects are flowers and scenes. Mrs. Priddy has been painting for as long as she can remember, and seriously for the past eleven years. She too has exhibited in numerous art shows in Michigan and in Florida. She has been president of two art leagues in Florida, the Melbourne Art As­ sociation and the Satalite Beach Art League. About two years ago she was "pressured" into teaching, and presently has two classes, one for teenagers and a­ nother for adults. Although Mrs. Priddy paints a va­ riety of subject matte', her speciality is pastel por­ traits. Mrs. Morowski has been painting seriously for the past two years. Her mother, Mrs. Priddy, describes her as a precision painter, " and her favorite sub­ ject matter is sceneries, especially barns, and butter­ flies. She also does lettering for sign paintings. When "Mommie" paints, Duska also paints, and one of her paintings has been included among the 75 or more the four persons will have on display at the show Saturday. The media in which this family paints is diversi­ fied, and includes oil, pastel, water colors and there will also be a number of felt marker sketches. Prizes and ribbons will be given the artists appear­ ing in the show Saturday, which will be judgedby James Chase, from Northwood Institute, Midland. A special prize is being offered for the best pic­ ture on the Centennial theme. .Pictured above in the back, left, is Dale Morow­ ski, in the center, back, Eunice Priddy and in front of them, Mrs. Keller, and on the right, front, Duska Morowski. —Photo by Gladys Richardson BEGGS BLOOD On Thursday, June 26, 1969 there will be a Youth Parade at the Fuller Street athletic field. The parade, which is the first event of Youth Day observance during the Centennial is scheduled to start at 1:00 p. m.; however, each entry is asked to be at the field by 12:45 p. m. so that the line­ up will be complete in time for the start. The pa­ rade does not require pre-registration; however the games that are scheduled from 2:00 to 4:00 do. An age limit of 15 has been placed for those entering the parade. The United Methodist Church is sponsoring the parade and it has been announced that there are four categories to be judged. They are: Pets, Bikes & Wagons; Centennial Costumes and Most Original.

A Salute To One Hundred Years Of Progress Some one hundred years ago a group of people liv­ ing on the banks of the Thomapple River celebrated the incorporation of their village to be known by the name of the village of Nashville. Tbe actual incor­ poration was signed by Governor Henry P. Baldwin, March 26, 1869. Perhaps that is the only thing that Governor Baldwin ever did n in history. Many years before Nashville was important to the white man in the territory, it was important to the Indians of the area. For at least 200 years before the Centennial, the Indians gathered in this area to make maple syrup or sugar. NashviUe has seen many changes through this first 100 years. The railroad, which became a principal reason for the town's even being here, started with a few wood-burning trains a week and became a very important link between Jackson and Grand Rapids, with several trains a day and then within tbe mem­ ory of many of us, went back to the status of a few trains a week. No longer the big impressive steam­ ers, but now. the howling diesels. Passenger trains, once an important part of the railroad, have now become non-existent. The bus­ iness places that were here when the town was first incorporated one hundred yean ago are now gone, but the town itself has remained primarily the same that it was when it started - a friendly little village in the valley. So NashviUe goes into her second hundred years, looking a bit different than she did at her start as the above picture will show, but the changes are on­ ly outward. The people in the village have remain­ ed friendly and warm and welcoming. Several brid­ ges have been built across the Thomapple in that hundred years but they have not reaUy changed the ;o on. river - time and the river gc — w Congratulations Nashville: on your one hundred an­ niversary; may you have several more centennials. �V- flThe Prestige Store For The Working Man's Money 112 South Cochran Charlotte.

The Coronation Ball followed the ceremonies for the naming of the queen and this was held in the High School Cafeteria. Miss Mix was named from the group of seven con­ testants, all members of the Maple Valley School and residents of NashvUle. Miss Christine Brown was named first alternate and Miss Sandra Foote was named the second alternate. Each girl was dressed in centennial attire. " The candidates were judged Saturday night o n their talent performance. Miss Mix gave a comedy skit entitled "My Git Up and Go Has Got Up and Went. ” Others gave musical selections and dances, etc. Previously each girl had been judged on themes they had written pertaining to some phase of Nash­ ville history and on their one-minute speeches giv­ en at the banquet held in March. judging was done by members of the Eastern Star chapters about the county. Paul Corbin of Nash­ ville also assisted in the judging and he performed the honor of placing the crown upon the Queen's head. She was also presented with red roses and a $100 savings bond. The Queen contest was sponsor­ ed by the members of the Laurel Chapter No. 31, Order of Eastern Star. The alternates received sav­ ings bonds of $50 and $25 and all candidates were given gifts by the Eastern Star Chapter and also from the Centennial Committee. Mr. Corbin jokingly informed Cathy that her reign was to last for 100 years - or until the next Centennial celebration. The other contestants in the queen contest are: Christine Brown and Sandra Foote, alternates, Karen Rose, Bonnie Terpening, Diane Strong and Lin­ da Furlong.

They call us “The 4:30 Bank.” We also have customers who used to forget to go to the bank on Friday. We solved this problem for them by staying open all day Saturday ‘til... (you guessed it) ... 4:30 p.m. , Rather than try to remember a complicated schedule of hours, they just remember “4:30 p.m.” They know they can come to our bank any day but Sunday and holidays and we’ll be open. If you still have a hard time remembering to bank before 3:00, why not switch to "The 4:30 Bank” and relax. hgan Nabob BILLION DOLLARS ■ OPEN ’TIL 4:30 P.M. MON �■ , The Wolcott house The Wolcott House wu built by James McGraw, Mrs. Gruso'r father and Amber Reid's grandfather. The Wolcott House was acroM the street and about one-quarter block to the north from the Quick Store or where the Leonard Station is today. Jamet McGraw must have been a good carpenter for the Hotel was a fine looking building and the at­ traction for passers-by. The building was nicely planned and located. It had a porch the length o f the building about 3 steps high, and what a tempta­ tion that was for school children to walk the length of the lower step and they were never told they could not do so. There were plenty erf chairs for the guests on the porch. The yard was kept clean. Amber Cruso married Theodore Reid and they had two boys, Robert and Donald. The managers were Cap and Kate Bowen and daughter, but extra help was needed, especially when show troops came. The building was well kept and delicious meals were served in the dining room. It was said of it: Where they were reasonable in price - The Hotel was built to last several genera­ tions - It was patronized especially by the travell­ ing salesmen - It has always been a question why it was called "Wolcott House” when it was built and owned by McGraw.

JUNE 26, 1969 �The Nashville News has a colorful beginning In September of 1873, some five years after the village of Nashville was chartered, a young fellow named Mr. Orno Strong came through the town, liked the looks of the village, and, convinced that it was going to grow to a big city on the banks of the Thornapple, decided to start a newspaper. Strong, as his name indicated, was a strong man, at least strong in character and he wrote in the salty vernacular ot the day, but at the same time with the more or less stilted journalese of the time. In his original issue. Volume 1, Number 1. dated October 3, 1873', Strong said: "We shall weep with those that weep, and rejoice with, them that rejoice; in fact, we shall hold ourselves prepared to carry said weeping and rejoicing to any extent required. " "We will talk up the merits of the village until they will not only be known to the people of this vicinity, but will be caught up and reflected, like the light of the morning over the whole land, and will make Nashville so plain and well known to the outside world that a wayfaring man, though a fool, will know het ways and walk therein. " Strong went on to say he selected Nashville as a base of operations because he thought that the inhab­ itants had the vim and energy to push her ahead and make her a "flourishing city on the banks of the Thornapple where now 1, 000 people call their home. We shall do our share to bring about that desirable result," Strong said. Strong then said: "We have set our stakes and hung our banner on the outer walls of the building opposite the post office and there you can find us, both early and late." He ended by saying, "With our best bow after having spoke our little piece, we submit the news to the public. " The paper flourished under Strong. He wrote with a verve and vigor of the times. Nashville, at that time, was growing and growing fast. The people and the town were young. This vigor was reflected in Strong's writing. Orno did not pull punches. He called a spade a spade. He warned the population in his initial issue that he was going to print every ­ thing in the way of news that he thought was news. Some of the things he thought newsworthy, others apparently did not. In the issues of the first 15 years of the News under Orno Strong, there is more than one reference to the fact that the editor had been horse-whipped or otherwise treated to physical vio­ lence. Strong was not adverse to coming right out in print and calling a man a liar, using names and specific information. On more than one occasion he printed wedding stories with an addendum that the happy couple would be making a birth announce­ ment within a matter of a few days. For 15 yean. Strong held forth in Nashville and then in the year 1888, he sold the paper to Len W. Feighner, an employee of his and he. Strong, moved to Oregon. The paper, under Feighner, remained as salty and humorous as it had under Strong. Feighner, however, tempered his humor with kindness and refrained from some of the out-and-out scandalous remarks that Strong had been inclined to use. If the paper under Strong was somewhat salty, it also did a bit of moving. In 1873 it was started in an office on the west side of Main Street, across from what was then the post office. The office was moved to several locations on Main Street and then sometime before 1888 was moved into a schoolhouse which is the present site of the Nashville News on Maple Street. Len Feighner's grandson, Leonard Kane, says that his grandfather told him that his first week's pay for working for Orno Strong was a pair of shoes. Len Feighner not only owned the paper for 40 years, the longest period anyone had owned it, he was also without doubt the best-known of the editors and publishers of the Nashville News. Feighner was very . active in the Michigan Press Association and was instrumental in its early growth. He served as a Field Secretary for Michigan Press Association and also served as the president of that association. In addi­ tion to his newspaper work, Feighner served as the postmaster of Nashville. For several years he served in the Michigan State Legislature; he was often a member of the School Board of Nashville and was the guiding hand in the Len Feighner Agency, a news­ paper brokerage that is still flourishing under the guidance of Mr. Woodward Smith of Mt. Pleasant. The News was sold in 1928 to A. B. McClure who operated it for only three years before he sold it to Willard St. Clair and Mary Kellogg Gloster. The Glosters, both newspaper people, owned and operated a newspaper in Levering, Michigan. Mr. Gloster was a printer by trade. Mrs. Gloster had worked with the Adrian Daily Telegram as a reporter. They operated 1956, that much ot the flavor and the fun of running a newspaper died with him. ' The Hinderliters sold the newspaper in December of 1956 to John and Amy Boughton, who moved here from Adrian, Michigan. TheBoughtons converted the newspaper from a letterpress to an offset printing process and added the subscription list of the Vermontville Echo to it and changed the name to the Maple Valley News to include born communities. The Nashville News, only four years younger than the town, will celebrate its centennial in 1973. Centennial Poems The following poems are from students at the Ful­ ler Street SchooL BEARDS Beards are just as I feared Coming down the street.

They willingly posed for the photographer and all appeared to be enjoying this bit offancy dressing. —Photo by John Boughton Nashville’s first big fire destroys five business places Nashville's first big fire occurred the night of February 25, 1874. The mad ringing of the Metho­ dist Church bell brought people out of bed and men were running crying Tire. " The village of Nashville then was less than ten years old and boasted about a thousand population. The business district was mainly composed of frame wooden buildings thrown up in a hurry of cheap lumber. The fire on that cold night in 1874, started at the rear of Philip Holler & Son's Hardware Store, which stood fronting Main Street in a long, narrow building closely paralleling Cherry Alley. In other words, it stood where the south one-half of the present Keihl Hardware now stands. Within 20 min­ utes after the blaze was discovered there were sev­ eral hundred people on Main Street. Before the night was over, almon the entire population of the town and scores of country folks were on hand to witness Nashville's first really disastrous fire. With­ in the course of three hours five business places were wiped out and two families were left home­ less. Although there was no wind the flames soon spread to the building next door north, which was owned by R. S. Brady and occupied by Ed. R. White Mr. White operated a meat market on the ground floor and he and his wife lived in an apartment a­ bove their store. They had retired for the night when the sound of shouting awakened them, and they dressed hurriedly and carried a few of the ir possessions into the street before the blaze envelop­ ed their building. Those first frame buildings had been built close together and it was only a matter of minutes before the third one was aflame. This next building, which was owned by C. C. Linsley, was occupied by C. A. Stebbins and Captain Boise, who operated a gener­ al store. They sold dry goods, groceries and many other items, including gun powder and dynamite. the “ depression when there was practically 2dno „t,advents d«ubi 8 Salvage of their metehandlie wa, great‘y bawpeivery little news, a minimum of money and no doubt, ed by the fear of an explosion at any moment.

With the dynamiting glow­ Hinderliter said when Ab Mason died in the fall of ing burning timbers were blown a hundred feet in­ to the air. The flying debris started a few small new fires but nothing that could get out of control, and while bucket brigades wet down nearby build­ ings, the fire fighters concentrated on literally tear­ ing apart the frame building that housed the News plant. Ropes were made fast to vital .points and with several hundred men and two teams of oxen strain­ ing to the task, the building was toppled over and hauled clear across the street, out of danger from flying sparks. Before this, Orno Strong, .publisher of the Nlews, had been busy carrying his possessions out of the shop and his final achievement was the rescue of the 1,100-pound press, which was picked up bodily by about a dozen men and carried to safety. Young Strong had come to Nashville and started the News less than six months before and his estimated $300 loss from the fire was perhaps more of a blow than that suffered by some of his neighbors. True to the traditions of his business, Editor Strong issued a news­ paper two days later, and the biggest news of the week had to do with the fire. The story told in de tail how, after the News building was town down, teams of oxen hauled the larger postions away and how two lines of men were formed to pass water to the fire, while others swarmed onto the roof of D. C. Griffith's store next door and kept exposed parts cov­ eted with wet carpets and quilts. "And thus”, wrote Orno Strong, "Nashville's big fire finally was check­ ed. " Most of the residents of the town stayed up all night. Barrels of whiskey were broken open and set conveniently for anyone and everyone to partake of. Next morning few of the sawmills could operate be­ cause of missing employees. All in all, Nashville was lucky. Had there bfeen a wind the newly built village would have been wiped out in a hurry. Naturally such a conflagration inspired talk of an organized fire department, but it took another 17 years to truly fill that need On­ ly after the disastrous Lenta Table Factory fire in 1891 did the village get busy and provide an effic­ ient water system. The late 70's however, saw the construction of numerous fire wells - bricked-in cis­ terns underground in the business district for storing a reserve supply of water. Some of these old cisterns still exist underneath present sidewalks and streets. Cause of the big fire never was determined al­ though there was considerable talk at the time about its having been the work of an incendiary. The loss­ es fell heavily upon C. C. Linsley, who owned four of the buildings and who carried no insurance. He operated a patent medicine business and carried several thousand dollars worth of liquors and medi­ manufacturing pro­ cines in his cellar for use in manufacturing atC-. $6,000 and cesses. His total loss was <estimated ___________ that of Holler & Son was set at the same figure. Holler had $2,400 worth of insurance, however. Stebbins & Boise and Ed. White also carried at least partly enough insurance, as did R. S, Brady. As for the News publisher, he carried no insurance at alL CENTENNIAL ISSUE — MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE.

The village was named for a Gar­ audus Nash who was a civil engineer helping build the New York Central railroad through this village 100 years ago. While Garaudus Nash never lived here, he suggested to the townspeople that the vil­ lage be named after him, and apparently enough of the early pioneers approved the idea to call th is community Nashville. To the Samuel L. Hamilton family, the Carroll Hamilton family now of Lansing but many years residents rtf Nashville^ and to the children of their deceased sister, Mrs. Ina Hamilton-Decker, the Centennial has special meaning. Their greatgrand­ mother, Nancy Nash-Hamilton, was a sister of Garaudui Nash. Samuel Nash, who lived from 1805 to 1875, had nine children, including a son Garaudus and a daughter. Nancy. Nancy married Samuel M. Ham­ ilton, and they had a son whom they named Nathan Augustus Seymore Hamilton, whose initials spelled "NASH". Nathan married Araminta Kennedy, and their son, Clyde, was the father of Samuel L., Car­ roll A. and Ina Hamilton.

Nashville residents residing on North Main Street were awakened at 4:50 a. m. Wednesday as a speed­ ing car came into town from the north. The car, driven by Douglas Wright, 24, of Allegan, swerved to the left, knocked down a speed limit sign near the Church of the Nazarene, then the coin laundry sign on the corner of Washington and Main Street, continued across the intersection and struck the cor­ ner of the building which houses the Flea Market before coming to a stop. The driver, suffering head injuries, abrasions and an injured-right knee, along with his two passengers, Gerald Miller and David Gowans, both of Allegan, were taken to Pennock Hospital Miller was treated for cuts and bruises and released. Gowans was not injured. The building, owned by Mrs. Ed Kane, was ex­ tensively damaged. William Cassidy of the Nashville Police Depart­ ment, heard the car, - and was on the scene short­ ly after it happened. Wright remained in the hospital over night, and on Thursday of this week was to appear in district court in Hastings for examination. Cassidy said Wright would be ticketed for reckless driving. - -Photo by Gladys Richardson Sponsor fishing contest The Maple Valley Jaycees and Mr. Don Langham are sponsoring a fishing contest for all age groups.

For most, it started way before the weekend; weeks ago, with hard work, concentration, long hours and plugging away at something we were really not sure now to attack The result, however, has been phenomenal. Nash­ ville's Centennial has turned out to be one of the extraordinary celebrations of this kind that I have ever seen. This did not just come about. This is the result, as I said before, of long hours, of hard work, by many people. Regardless of bow it came about, it did come a­ bout and it was a tremendous success. We have to admit, chance was on our side. We have had so much rain and bad weather previous to the Nash­ ville Centennial Celebration, that there was hardly any left over for the celebration. We almost had to have perfect weather. All of the bad stuff had been used up. To try to name all the people and organizations responsible for the success of the Centennial would take more time than I have and the space that this newspaper has. These people are legion. These peo­ ple, many of them, have given time and effort Be­ yond recognition. But their time and their efforts have paid off, beautifully. If Nashville's Bi-Centennial is one-half as im pressive as her Centennial, I personally will be sur­ prised. But, I'll be surprised from somewhere else, I won't be around to see it. This Centennial Celebration has really been something to behold. This, more than anything else, has brought the people of the town together. I can’t imagine groups and individuals working together better and more harmoniously than our people have for this Centennial Celebration. And, of course, this is the reason for the success of the celebration. It is only with concerted community effort that any­ thing like the successful celebration we have seen could come about. Nashville's Centennial has been the result of true co-operation and true co-opera­ tion is the only salvation of our world. The reason we have had a successful celebration of our centennial is because all groups, all individ: uals got together and made it successful. It doesn't happen in all communities, it doesn't always hap­ pen in our community. Let's hope that in the future, it will happen in our community. I have a few personal memories of the centenni­ -----------al as I'm sure we all do that will live for along long ' goat' i-< who be be-­ time. There is Barney - the Jaycee's Tiend. I will came quite a strong (strong) personal friend. miss Barney, and possibly he will miss me. I was —' happy to see that he got a prize in the beard con­ test - he deserves it, i There is the experience of being thrown into the Jaycee Jail with Vern Wheeler and Larry Filter and then the delight of having the beautiful redhaired girl, Bonnie Wyant, being thrown in jail with us. But the Jaycee Keystone Kops saw to it that the whole thing was ruined: they threw my wife in with us! I complained bitterly about this and so did Bon­ nie. She said this threw the ratio of men to women way off. Everyone seemed to have fun during the Centen­ nial Celebration. The Art show was a tremendous success; the firemen did a beautiful job of keeping things organized and going; the Barry County Sher­ iff's Department are to be commended for the way they controlled the crowd. Truly, the Centennial is something that happens only once a century but when it happends, it hap­ pens with a bang. The parade was one of the best I have ever seen in all my life. Each unit in the parade was outstand­ ing; I wish I could mention them all. I watched the parade with State Representative Stanldy Powell who said he thought Nashville's Centennial celebra­ tion was one of the best he has ever seen. Senator Stamm, in his address given at the start of the Cen­ tennial Celebration last Wednesday, said that he thought Nashville,, and.towns, like it throughout the United States, are far more important than all the major cities put together. He said he believes that the very best America has to offer can be found in towns such as Nashville, and that our American vil­ lages are the reservoir of American heritage. Dear Mr. and Mrs. John Boughton, We the Maple Valley Jaycees would like to thank you for your support of the Keystone Kops. We have appreciated your pictures and news articles cover­ ing our activities. This publicity added encouragement to the Key­ stone Kops and familiarized the community with our antics. Again, thank you for these articles. Sincerely, Jerry A. Reese, Project Chairman Keystone Kops Dear Mr. and Mrs. Boughton, Having sent a couple of Nashville Centennial books to former Nashville residents who spent their childhool there, I was pleased to hear from them one aged 60 and one 80 - and find how much they enjoyed them. However, both voiced a desire to know the names of all the unlabelled pictures, and to see more Of the "old days" written up, I intend to receive from then, if possible, their recollections and any o 1 d pictures they might be willing to donate. I suggest you print such an invitation to all old residents-many might have material that would be invaluable to our Historical Society and could be used on our next anniversary - say, 125th. They could number the pages of our present book and add any information for that page, etc. I'm sure I can find some pictures in my home in Nashville, and hope to get up there for part of the Centennial celebration. Would you be willing to print such an invitation and name the person or persons who could take care of such material if offered? Thank you. Sincerely, Margaret (Furniss) Bateman Debby Dunham, from Vermontville, was a part of the Maple Valley float in the Centennial Parade Saturday afternoon. The sign on the car read "Com­ plete Coverage with the Maple Valley Newr" and Debby displays the "coverage" in this photo. Could be Chris Boughton, the driver of her car, had to read his paper before he started the drive in the pa­ rade. When the firemen P, A. wagon announced Para­ chute Jump at FuUer Heights' Subdivision, Amy and I were sitting in our back yard. Amy had had it she was beat - and I think I was working on a case of flu and was feeling a little low so 1 asked Chris if he would cover for us and get pictures of the par­ achutists coming down. Chris took the little camera and headed out for Fuller Heights. Amy and I sat in the yard and watch­ ed the airplane with the parachutists fly over our house. A little while later we saw the parachutists bail out, three little dots in the air. They fell free and then the parachutes broke open and drifted to earth - and you guessed it, Chris stood over in Ful­ ler Heights on target, waiting for the parachutists to come down so he could get a picture; and where did they land? Almost in our own back yard. Two of them came down in the field owned by the Cath­ olic Church, right directly behind our house, s o close that we could talk to them. The other came down way across town, I understand, in Seth Graham's field. If I had kept the camera, I would have had the picture; and Chris stood over in Ful­ ler Heights waiting for the picture. Sirs: Your Centennial edition is great -- Will you please save us 20 copies. I will come pick them up. Thank you. Enclosed $5. 00 check. Lillian Howe HO IN THE SERVICE David Decker Cadet David E.

Jerry acted more or less as the chairman for these Kops bur many members of the Jaycees also took part in the fun and clowning. Barney, a mild-mannered and friendly goat, was walked up and down Main Street as a sentence for some "violator" and he seemed to have as good a time of the fun as anyone. Certainly the Keystone Kops are to be congratula­ ted and thanked for the fun they provided to the Cen­ tennial celebration.

Frost-free Refrigerator ^Automatic IceMaker THE TOWNSHIP OF VERMONTVILLE ORDAINS: SECTION I - It shall be unlawful to burn any paper, rubbish, grass, or any other waste material within the Township of Castleton, un­ less such materials are contained in a steel, or masonry container, or constructed as to prevent tire blowing about of any pieces of burn­ ing material, any ashes or cinders thereof: the approved trash burn­ er shall be no less than 25 feet from any building. Provided how­ ever, that leaves may be burned in any regularly used driveway, as long as it is a safe distance from the house, and other buildings, ana properly supervised and attended, so as not to endanger any sur­ rounding buildings or other property. 11 Willie Imudluk, who recently visited Michigan, really lives on the edge of the Arctic. Even though his family enjoys the convenience of a modern refrigerator, Willie nearly lost his cool when he saw the new frost-free model with the automatic ice maker. We know you will, too. Every man will love the luxury of a never-ending supply of ice cubes, the convenience of no more ice tray filling or spilling. And wouldn't you like to forget that dreaded defrosting chore — the chopping, slopping and mopping — with a refrigerator that defrosts itself automatically? See the new frost-free refrigerator with the automatic ice maker today. You’ll agree with Willie — it’s a very nice idea for you and your familyl SECTION II - Any receptacle for burning of such paper, rubbish or other inflamable materials shall be subject to inspection by the Chief of the Fire Department, or anyone delegated by him to make such inspection. Said inspector shall have the duty and authority to condemn any such receptable found to be dangerous or improperly constructed.

There shall be no burning started after 9:00 pm. , SECTION IV - No civil liability shall attach to tne Township of Castleton, or any of its officers, inspectors or employees as a con­ sequence of having issued such a permit SECTION V - Any violation of this Ordinance shall be subject to a fine of not more than $50 or 30 days in jail, or both.

Mrs. Eunice Priddy, serving as chairman for this show, had anticipated a successful show as she had carried on correspondence with over 100 ar­ tists regarding the show. For tne first time, also, in Nashville, the show was judged and prizes and ribbons were given in var­ ious classifications set up by the judge, Mr. James Chase. Mr. Chase commented that the calibre of the show was extremely high and that he was a­ mazed at the good quality of the work exhibited and the wide variety of talents. He said it was also a very difficult show to judge because so many things were exceptional. Artists from the Nashville area served at the reg­ istration desk and helped visitors to set up their ex­ hibits. The youngest person exhibiting was two and the age range went up to the 90’s with Mrs. Hol­ man being the oldest exhibitor. A special Centennial Prize was offered this year and this was won by Denise Viele of Vermontville with a charcoal sketch of an old barn.

The Maple Valley Jaycee Keystone Kops would like to add their thanks to the people of Nash­ ville for their cooperation with our Kops and espec­ ially to those who were arrested, tried and sentenced during the past months. These people were all good sports, which added to the fun of this time. We've thoroughly enjoyed our small part of the. Centennial and hope that our antics were enjoyed by the com­ munity. Part of our fun included the jail being stolen, chain gang, often getting wet, arresting corset stealers, and "belling the disc jockey" to keep track of him. A special thanks to our local policemen, who spent time in our jail, yet do a much better job of keep­ ing the peace than the Keystone Kops. More fun was had by Barney, our official goat, wno had many keepers during the Centennial and won fame by win­ ning in the beard contest. . Many thanks again to the people of Nashville, es­ pecially to Floyd White, Dorothy Swift, Don Barlow, Dave McIntyre of WBCH and the’ merchants of Nash­ ville who were more than genferous in their efforts to help the Kops in their "anucs.

They then moved to Gladwin serving the Bard Smith Creek and Riley churches and left m 1955 for a stay of one year in Chesaning. They served the Evart Charge for two years, when they again moved to the North and South Maple Grove Charge. They served there until retirement. The Rhoades have seven children, eleven grand­ children and seven great-grandchUdren. It is interesting to note that they finished their services in the same two churches that found him a vigorous, energetic young minister. The worth of their 42 years of service can be found in the communities in wnich Rev. Rhoades has served. Who can say how many people he has influenced by his fine example through the years. No one, but two suspect that it would be many, many. The worth of a postage stamp is valued because of its ability to stick to one thing untH it gets there. They seem to have this in common. On June 22, 1969, Rev. Rhoades preached at the North and South churches; then turned over the pul­ pit to Rev. M. R. Putnam, who was assigned to take over at the two churches and also Barryvule for the coming year. The North and South Maple Grove churches are honoring Rev. and Mrs. Rhoades on his retirement, on Sunday, July 13th at the South Maple Grove Church. Church services wiH be at 11:00 a. m. with the Rev. Rhoades giving the message. There wiH be a potluck dinner at noon. AH neighbors and friends are invited to join with them for this aay.

This trip was planned by Merle Martin, who on two other occa­ sions has taken other boys on similar trips. The baseball players; two fathea, Paul Shipman and Raymond Beebe; a teacher, Leroy Wion; Mrs. Archie Martin, Merle's mother, who went along to do the cooking for the vacationers,. and Merle's wife, drove to White River, then were flown 20 miles in to a camping area. For the most part the boys' earned their money for the trip themselves. One boy didn't quite make it, so Merle made up the difference, and when they re­ turn the lad will pay back the "loan* by raking hay for Mr. Martin. Merle, who is a baseball enthusiast for these Suths just about 24 hours a day, tried to get a base11 game set up at White River, but unfortunately the plans were completed by the time the group started. One thing is assured. The group will eat well Merle'S mother was a cook at the Vermontville schools for several years, and knows the foods kids like best. She fixed some of the food at home be­ fore leaving, including canning home-made chili. The group will fly out on July 5, then head for the trip back home.

The resort is located just north of M-79 on Charlton Park Highway. Seen at the show in various demonstrations will be some 20 old steam engines dating back over the past 60 yeats, along with antique gas tractors and stationary engines. The steam engines will furnish power for exhibitions of old fashioned threshing, bal­ ing and sawing, along with operating a veneer ma­ chine and shingle miu. There will also be pulling contests to determine the ability of the old engines. The engines will also be put through the prony brake and Baker fan tests. Before the big steam engines can participate in any show they must be water tested and registered as requested by the State of Michigan. This will take place a few days before the snow, but no defin­ ite date has been announced yet. This year for the first time there will be a heli­ copter on the grounds for those who may wish to take a ride, and on Saturday evening there will be old time square dance music. Throughout the three days the big engines, along with the old tractors and other antique engines wifi be seen in two parades daily, at 9:30 a. m. and 1:30 p. m. There will also be a steamboat for those want­ ing to cruise Thornapple River. Officers of the club are: President, Ken Lewis of Rives Junction; vice president, Ward Woodmansee of Hastings; secretary-treasurer, Carl Tuttle of Howell, and board of directors are Clifford Peterson of Grass Lake, Robert Cappon of Woodland, and Lynn Mix of Hastings. When the big engines start heading for Barry's Re­ sort, Lynn Mix's will be the only one driven to the park under its own power. years has resigned to accept a supervisory position with the Oldsmobile in Lansing. He will continue to make his home in Nashville. Miss Mona Green, high school vocal and history teacher for the past year, has resigned to return to college to work on her PhD. The elementary principal, Howard Yost, gave a detailed report on the summer remedial Title I pro­ gram, stating that of the 52 enrolled the attendance had been, for the most part, only 35 to 70 percent. He emphasized the need for such a program, and sta­ ted he would check into the possibility of holding the program during the school year when the children would be available. Supt. Carroll Wolff announced the hearing on the transfer of the Ronald V. Simmons property to the Lakewood district from Maple Valley will be held on July 23, at 9 a. m. in Lansing. He stated the general maintenance work is being completed throughout the buildings, and that additional hall lockets for the junior-senior high school building would be placed as soon as they arrive. By September 1, some 70 stu­ dents will have completed their driver education pro­ gram including the required six hours driving time. The board voted to hold the public hearing on the budget on Monday evening. August 11, the night of the regular board meeting. They will also seek bids on gasoline, fuel oil, mQk and bus fleet insurance. These will be opened at the August meeting. The board again named the Michigan National Bank of Vermontville for the depository of school funds and checking accounts for the general fund, in­ ternal activity account, hot lunch, building and site, debt retirement and payroll accounts. They approv­ ed paying bills in the amount of $1,447. 87, and the transfer of the July payroll to the payroll account in the amount of $4, 910. 29. • A committee made up of Chris King, Herald Han­ sen; Wallace Graham and Supt. Wolff will check out the bleachers at the south side of the Fuller Street athletic field. Last year temporary bleachers were set up in this area to help eliminate a seating shortage. However, these were "borrowed" from the visitors' side, so the committee will make recom­ mendations on whether or not to construct something more permanent on the south side, this returning the portable bleachers to the other side. A contract is to be signed with the Burroughs Com­ pany on a yearly maintenance contract for $300 to cover labor and parts on the two-year old bookkeep­ ing machine. The'four new busses are completed and will be picked up at the plant in Mitchell, Indiana and brought to Nashville within the next few days. More than 75 people gathered at the United Meth­ odist Community House last Sunday evening to meet the minister and his family, Rev. and Mrs. Crosby and children. A short program was presented and refreshments served. Rev. James G. Crosby is a graduate of Otterbein College in 1940 and from United Seminary in Day­ ton, Ohio in 1943 and has served churches in De­ troit, South Haven, Sebewaing, and Jackson Trinity Church, the latter being his charge before coming to Nashville. -Rev. Crosby's wife, Wanda, has served several years as the children's director for the conference, and has been active in the Women's Society work. The Crosbvs have two daughters, Claudia who taught school in Jackson and will leave next month to teach in Okinawa, and Gloria who has completed one year at Jackson Community College and is work­ ing in Dayton this year, and two sons, James, who was graduated from North Central College in June and will teach, and Timothy who will enter Maple Valley High School in the fall The family will live in the parsonage which was formerly known as the EUB parsonage. Maple Valley Jaycees hold business meeting This Wednesday, July 16, the Maple Valley Jay­ cees held a business meeting at the American Le­ gion Hall in Vermontville at 7:30 p. m. Representatives of the Volunteer Fire Department from Nashville were present to discuss their need for a new fire barn. The new JC president, Larry Filter, stated that the awards chairman, Ron Rosen would present the Jaycee of the Month award, and other awards would be given the outstanding salesman in the recent bi­ cycle raffle contest. Filter has also made arrangements for a new re­ volving award known as the "Work, Work, Work" award and for the first time, this will go to two members who have worked very hard over the past year to make the Nashville Centennial successfuL They are Jerry Reese, chairman of the Keystone Kops, and Jerry Johnson, parade marshaL This a­ ward is to be a monthly event in the future, with each person having his name engraved on the award whenne is award-winner. Open House planned to tell about water tower needs The Nashville Village Council Thursday evening heard the report of Police Committee chairman, Ben Kenyon report on the need for either repairing the 1967 police cruiser, or purchasing a new one. An es­ timate of the repair costs will be given at the July 24 meeting. In all probability the council will seek bids on a new car at the same time. In order to familiarize Nashville residents of the operation of the pumping station and the sewage dis­ posal plants. Village President Harold Christensen has suggested that during the week of August 10 to 17 open house be held at both places. This particular week has been designated state­ wide a; "Willing Water" week, the symbol of pub­ lic water service. During open house Nashville visi­ tors will also be informed of some of the problems facing the council regarding the need for putting up a new water tower. The present tower, of 1887 vin­ tage, holds only 65,000 gallons of water, and one that holds 200, 000 gallons is actually needed. Water pressure in the outskirts of the village is practically nil, and any extension of lines for new customers is impossible. Hours for the open house will be an­ nounced later. Letters of appreciation from Jerry Johnson, parade chairman from the Maple Valley Jaycees, and from Mrs. Nelson Brumm, secretary of the Centennial Committee, were read thanking the council for their cooperation and assistance during the Centennial fes­ tivities. In the report of Acting Police Chief Kendall Wil­ cox , he stated that the police cruiser had traveled 1,413 miles since the last council meeting, and had used 145. 6 gallons of gasoline. One accident had been investigated, and arrests had been made for a minor in possession and drinking on a public street; for disorderly conduct; reckless driving, and one on a felony warrant for another county. There had been one transport to the Kalamazoo State Hospital, and several moving and non-moving traffic rickets have been issued. Officer Wilcox also extended thanks to the Keystone Kops for their-traffic assistance during the CentenniaL Since the lest council meeting the trustees have had a chance to review in detail the quarterly finan­ cial report. For the most part they were pleased with the results. In a few cases the expenditures were high, due to payment of some of the bills held over from the previous quarter when the village was low in fi­ nances. In other action the council approved payment of the bills, and voted to have the Chamber of Com merce sign prepared for the Centennial parade to be placed in Central Park on Main Street. The Masonic Lodge took care of the arrangements for materials to be put in the Time Capsule, buried during the Centennial celebration. The above pic­ ture. shows the burial in Central Park. The Village will be erecting a marker for the capsule. --Photo by Gladys Richardson �BAROMETER BACKSTREET There's nothing quite so delightful as a day in July. Poets can carry on about June and May and the beautiful days of autumn, but nothing gets to me quite so much as mid-July - hot. even humid when the sun comes up early and sets late - when the birds start singing at 4:Cfo in the morning and are still going it-sal at 10:00 at night - when you can walk out of doors without freezing to death when the com is shoulder high - and the grass grows so fast, you can hardly turn the mower off before it is time to start in again - when the sounds, the smell, and the heat of summer become so overpow­ ering that one hardly can stand it - this is my time of year. ++++++++++++++++ We have a little world traveler who suns com­ ing to our yard about this time of year. He comes to drink the nectar from the flowers in the yard - a little hummingbird who hovers for long periods of time in front of a blossom. He spends his summers with us, but he is smarter that I am. He, as I, en­ joys the warmth and comfort of July weather. He, as I, really doesn't care to battle the snow, the cold, the starvation of winter - so he follows the sun. July and August, he'll spend in our yard, but sometime in September, I suspect right after the Labor Day traffic has calmed down some, he suns for the south again, and he moves with the seasons in a per­ petual July and August, until he is way back down in the jungles of Guatemala, Panama, Colombia, Where there are always blossoms with necur, where it is always warm and where a hummingbird's life is worth living. JUETTERStoEDITORj Dear Editor: Would like to say Thank You to so many great people in our little town. Thanks to the groups that worked so hard on the centennial for many months previous to the fun-packed three days ana four nights. Please tell anyone who has not seen the displays in the Nashville stores and windows they should hur­ ry, hurry, hurry to see the items furnished by our own proud citizens and interested persons from sur­ rounding communities. I am thrilled by items on display from different phases of life which range from 50 to 150 years old. Many of these items are still in the windows and I, for one, still go "window shopping." Barb Hoppe, Nashville Local News 6/ john boughton I have a luncheon buddy who rides a bicycle for exercise and almost every day he has a story of some adventure that has come to him while he is riding his bicycle. The other day a newcomer to the group, who is also a bicycle-rider, told this story. It seems he took his son’s 3-speed English bicycle out for a tide and was batting down hill on a street in Lansing, just about as fast as he could go. He noticed a police car behind him, but he got through a traffic light on the ug-end of the yellow and the surt of the red, and the police car had to stop. A couple of blocks up the street as he was pedaling a­ long for all his might, the police car pulled next to him. "Pull over to the curb, " one of the cops said.And he did. "Where are you going?" the cop asked him. "Home." "You in a rush?" the cop said. " Not particularly, " my friend answered. "Just wanted to see how fast I could go. " ” Do you realize you were going 30 miles an hour in a 20 mile zone?* the police said. "Also, you realize you ran a red light?" My friend nodded in assent. "Where did you get the bike?" the police said. " It belongs to my son, " he answered. There was a long pause and then my friend asked, "You going to give me a ticket for speeding?" 'pNo," the police said. "Going to give me a ticket for running a red light?” "No." "Then why did you stop me?" "Because, " the police said, "you looked like someone who had just stolen a bike. ” Art.

VOGT Dear friends, Prior to the death of our late President John F. Kennedy, the American funeral tradition was being questioned. The President's tragic death suddenly brought home to our entire nation the sense of bereavement the need to mourn - the need for lying in state, for ritual, for pro­ cession, as a catharsis for our grief.

Cechran, Charlene 543-5844 The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, July 17, 1969 �Voters asked to approve Maple Valley teachers offered higher salaries millage for Fire Station The salary schedule for teachers in the Maple Val­ ley School district will start at higher amounts than have ever been paid before by this district. Thus the district should be able to hire competent teachers and hold the better ones who might be inclined to change schools because of higher wages. The starting wage last year for a non-degree teacher with no experience was $5, 600. This year it is $6,100 or an increase of $500. The steps of in­ crease up to 11 years-of experience jump from $7/767. 50 last year to $8, 692. '50 for this year. Teachers holding a bachelor’s degree last year started (with no experience) at $6, 500. This year they will be paid $7, 000. The graduated scale of the'same number of years’ experience -- 11 yearsshows top salary last year to be $9,050. 00 while this year it has been raised to $9. 975. 00. Last year salaries for teachers holding a bachelor degree, plus 20 semester hours on an approved de­ gree completion and maintaining a grade level meeting graduate requirements toward completion of the degree received a starting wage (with no pre­ vious experience) were paid $6, 700. 00 while this year they will receive $7, 200.00. For those with 11 years of experience, last year’s salary was $9,359.12 while this year the salary has increased to $10, 260.00. Starting salary for a teacher holding a master’s degree (with no teaching experience) last year was $6, 900. 00 and this year it will be $7, 400. 00. I n the graduating steps up to 11 years, last year the top salary in this division was $9, 620. 00 while this year it will be $10, 545. 00. In addition insurance will be paid in an amount not to exceed'$120 per school year, and each teach­ er may select this insurance in one of three areas, hospitalization, life insurance or salary protection. Voters of Castleton and Maple Grove Townships will have the opportunity on Tuesday, August 5, to approve two mills for five years for the purpose of constructing a new fire and ambulance station. The millage will provide approximately $75, 000 for the building, which will be as economical and plain in structure as is practical. If the proposal is approved the townships would immediately take steps to borrow money for the needed building on anticipated revenue. The present building, constructed before the turn of the century, is no longer adequate and docs not meet present day needs. A fire, many years ago, weakened the structure, and it is too small for mod­ ern equipment. Presently the fire fighting equip­ ment is housed therein while the ambulance is stor­ ed in the blacksmith shop to the north. Kalamo MRS. WM.

MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1969 NUMBER 9 Steam engine show will take place this weekend By Sunday, July 20, all of uie big steam engines participating in tne annual Michigan Steam Engine and Thresher's Club reunion were stationed at Bar­ ry's Resort. Testing by state men will then take place, and everything will be in readiness for the three day celebration on Friday, Saturday and Sun­ day, July 25, 26 and 27. There will be some steam engines, large and small, along with a large number of gas tractors and stationary engines. The steam engines will furn­ ish power for demonstrations of threshing as it was done soon after the turn of the century, Baling, saw­ ing, and to operate a shingle mill and veneer ma­ chine. Two parades will take place daily, at 9:30 a. m. and 1:30 p. m. There will be prony brake and Baker fan tests, and the big engines will compete in pull­ ing contests, and some will be used to ’'run the ba­ ses" in a baseball game staged each afternoon. This year for the first time there will be helicop­ ter rides on Sunday, and Saturday evening there will be old time squa.'e dance music. Too, there August 5th vote will provide better fire housing TO THE VOTERS OF CASTLETON AND MAPLE GROVE TOWNSHIPS In 1947 the townships of Castleton and Maple Grove and the Village of Nashville entered into a mutual agreement to equip, maintain and operate what was then the Nashville Fire Department, loca­ ted in the present fire station. Over the years the department has increased and upgraded the equipment and staffed it with well trained firemen and the townships can proudly say it is one of the best rural departments anywhere. However, the fire station, an old wood frame building, built before the turn of the century, is no longer safe or adequate to house this fine equipment. The trucks are longer and wider and there is hardly room to squeeze the trucks in. A fire in the upper part of the structure many years ago weakened the building and the beams are sagging to an unsafe point; also, the electrical wir­ ing and the heating are no longer safe. In 1968 the department organized the ambulance service, a vital service to the community. This is also operated by members of the Fire Department. To house the ambulance the bld blacksmith shop ad­ jacent to the north of the fire Station was purchased. If both buildings are removed1 from the lot it would give ample space to erect a building suitable for both fire and ambulance services. For the past five yean taxpayen have been pay­ ing one mill with which the department purchased two new fire trucks and other equipment to bring the equipment up to date and underwriter approval. This one mill has expired and by voting two mills now, taxpayen would be paying only one mill more than they have been for the last five years. On Au­ gust 5th voters of Castleton and Maple Grove Town­ snips are being asked to approve a tax levy of two mills for five years to build a fire and ambulance station and some built-in installations, such as a hose dryer and storage racks. The two mills would amount to about seventy­ eight thousand dollan, and with today's costs and some common sense, will build a building and e­ quip it. The size would be fifty-five feet wine and seventy-six feet long, of cement block construc­ tion and steel suspended roof, and adequate for many yean to come. The good rating of the fire department helps to hold down the insurance rates in the community. Your firemen and ambulance drivers are dedica­ ted men of this community who volunteer their E time to train and operate these services, day or night, rain or snow, zero ninety degrees in the shade, they respond to the call at once. :nt is sure the voters Of The department df this comc— munity will want to continue these services. Each citizen is invited to visit the present fire station and look it over, then be the judge. Vote YES August 6th election. Castleton-Maple Grove-Nashville Volunteer Fire Department. will be a steamboat available for cruising the Thom­ apple River. There is plenty of camping space at the resort, and the Emmett Rescue Squad will provide lunches and dinners on the grounds.

Serving on the board of directors are Clif­ ford Peterson of Grass Lake, Robert Cappon of Wood­ land and Lynn Mix of Hastings, Each year the show attracts thousands of persons who enjoy watching the old big engines kick up their heels in a variety of performances. Harry Woodmansee of Dowling will bring in his 12-horsepower Case and a 65 HP Case; Ralph Wood­ mansee of Battle Creek; a 16 HP Rumley and 20 HP Davance; Robert and Cornell Cappon of Woodland, a 19 HP Port Huron and 20 HP Russell; Lloyd Faust of Vermontville, a 20 HP Russell; Melvin Lugten of Hamilton, an 18 HP Keck Gonnerman and 22 HP Keck Gonnerman; LaVem Ott of Howell, a 12 HP Case; Frank Ott of Fowlerville, a 9 HP Case; Carl Tuttle of Howell, a 19 HP Port Huron and 16 HP Advance Rumley; Charles Smalley of Mason a 16HP Nichols and Shepard, and a 22 HP Advance Rumley, Ken and George Lewis of Rives Junction, a 65 HP Case and 20 HP Rumley; the Blough Brothers of Clarksville will have a 75 HP Case, and Lynn Mix of Hastings will bring in a 22 HP Advance Rumley.

Last Sunday the members of the Michigan Steam Engine and Thresher's Club held a business meeting and carry-in dinner at the resort to make final plans for the coming celebration. On Wednesday of this week, all of the steam en­ gines were state inspected in a water test. This is required before any steam engine can be fired. There was a potluck in the evening for members Johnny Rodriguez, owner of Johnny's Food Mart in Vermontville, proudly presents a certificate to Ginny L.

The Chamber of Commerce is asked to furnish dessert and other dish and take own table service. The drink will be furnished. Open House planned to tell about water tower needs The Nashville Village Council Thursday evening heard the report of Police Committee chairman, Ben Kenyon report on the need for either repairing the 1967 police cruiser, or purchasing a new one. Anestimate of the repair costs will be given at the July 24 meeting. In all probability the council will seek bids on a new car at the same time. In order to familiarize Nashville residents of the operation of the pumping station and the sewage dis­ posal plants. Village President Harold Christensen has suggested that during the week of August 10 to 17 open bouse be held at both places. This particular week has been designated state­ wide as "Willing Water" week, the symbol of pub­ lic water service. During open bouse Nashville visi­ tors will also be informed of some of the problems facing the council regarding the need for jutting up a new water tower. Tne present tower, of 1887 vin­ tage, holds only 65,000 gallons of water, and one that holds 200, 000 gallons is actually needed. Water pressure in the outskirts of the village is practically nil, and any extension of lines for new customers is impossible. Hours for the open house will be an­ nounced later. Letters of appreciation from Jerry Johnson, parade chairman from the Maple Valley Jaycees, and from Mrs, Nelson Brumm, secretary of the Centennial Committee, were read thanking the council for their cooperation and assistance during the Centennial fes­ tivities. In the report of Acting Police Chief Kendall Wil­ cox , he stated that the police cruiser had traveled 1,413 miles since the last council meeting, and had used 145. 6 gallons of gasoline. One accident had been investigated, and arrests had been made for a minor in possession and drinking on a public street; for disorderly conduct; reckless driving, and one on a felony warrant for another county. There had been one transport to the Kalamazoo State Hospital, and several moving and non-moving traffic tickets have been issued. Officer Wilcox also extended thanks to the Keystone Kops for their traffic assistance during the Centennial. Since the last council meeting the trustees have had a chance to review in detail the quarterly finan­ cial report. For the most part they were pleased with the previous quarter when the village was low in fi­ nances. In other action the council approved payment of the bills, and voted to have the Chamberof Com­ merce sign prepared for the Centennial parade to be placed In Central Park on Main Street. �backstreet barometer by john boughton We have lived through another long, eventful and unusual weekend. Most of the really earthshaking and important things that have happened to this earth have happened within the lifetime of most of us. I can remember when much of the heavy delivery work was done with horses and wagons. I can remem­ ber when milk was delivered from a horse drawn wa­ gon. It was not so long ago when icemen still drove horses and delivered ice to homes. The housewife would hang a card in the window telling the man how much ice she wanted today. I can remember when people thought it was a great thing that mail could be carried by airplanes and I can remember when it was a big deal to fly from Detroit to Chicago on an old Ford Trl-Motor Or to fly to Cleveland in a Gruman which took off from the water of the Detroit River and landed o n the water of the lakefront at Cleveland. Now, this weekend we have watched a man put foot on the moon and we have watched men as they took samples of rocks from the moon to bring back to earth. This has been a big weekend for most of us who sat up into the wee, small hours to watch and to lis­ ten to the progress of the'moon walk. This has to go down as one of the most important events in the history of man. Now, we are no long­ er bound to the earth but can take off for some plan­ et if things don't go to our liking here. Probably within the lifetime of some of us now men will take off for a journey to places we have never heard of and perhaps new colonies of earth peo­ ple will be established. The whole moon walk was so much like a science fiction movie, so much like Buck Rogers, that I kept expecting some giant creature to appear over the hor­ izon and attempt to eat the earthlings who had in­ vaded his territory. We have lived through some wonderful and terrible weekends lately, but this was the most wonderful of alL This weekend, truly marks a turning point in the history of man. Maple Grove A year ago only a handful of the hardy—fool­ hardy was a more frequently employed term--dared praise Sen. Robert P. Griffin for opposing the pro­ posed elevation of the Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas to chief justice. Now Fortas no longer sits on the nation's highest tribunal; and Griffin is being talked about in much more glowing terms. The junior senator from Michigan moved to the Senate force after Fortas tendered his resignation for his connections with the family foundation of ar. imprisoned financier. Griffin, 45, a University of Michigan Law School product, triggered the Fortas controversy last sum­ mer when he vowed to lead a filibuster against Senate confirmation as chief justice. He described Fortas as a "crony" of then President Lyndon B. Johnson. Scores of congressional skeptics, many from his own party, warned Griffin he was fighting a losing battle. He persisted nonetheless, and in the end won when Johnson withdrew the Fortas nomination. During the Senate debate, Griffin predicted that forces blocking the nomination had uncovered "only a comer of an iceberg." Recent disclosures linking Fortas with Louis F. Wolfson, a convicted stock manipulator, led to his resignation as an associate justice. The downfall of Fortas had its beginning in June, 1968, when Griffin was flying nack to Wash­ ington from Detroit. He spotted a brief newspaper item saying Chief Justice Earl Warren might retire shortly from the Supreme Court in hopes of having a voice in picking his successor. The story said Warren doubted he would have such a voice if Richard M. Nixon, his old political rival, were elected president. Although Griffin normally isn't regarded as a highly partisan senator, the story offended his GOP loyalties. There also were some who thought Griffin, a freshman seeking to make his mark tn the Senate, saw a chance toexploit the unpopu­ larity of Johnson. Whatever the reason, Griffin asked his staff the next day to prepare a brief statement for him. On June 21, taking note of further rumors that Warren was resigning, Griffin arose in the Senate and said: "... I want to indicate emphatically, as one U. S. Senator, that I shall not vote to confirm an appointment of the next chief justice by a 'lame duck' president. " ■ The remark struck a responsive chord with Sen. George Murphy, R-Calif,, and some other Repub­ licans. Thqt afternoon Griffin and Murphy put together a petition which they circulated among their GOP colleagues asking them to pledge them­ selves to oppose any Johnson Supreme Court nom­ inee regardless of who he was. They collected almost a dozen signatures before the day was over. On June 26 the White House officially announced Warren’s resignation. Simultaneously, the President nominated Fortas as chief justice and a close Texas friend, Federal Judge Homer Thornberry, to succeed Fortas as associate justice. Griffin immediately registered his objections and because of his pioneering remarks the few days earlier he promptly became the de facto leaner of the opposition to Fortas and Thomberry. It was a lonely band at the outset. At the time, even Griffin privately doubted he had a chance of blocking the nominations. In retrospect, he feels he wouldn't have succeeded had not both Fortas and Thornberry been extremely close friends of Johnson for many years. But the young senator was getting used to leading "impossible campaigns. " When he was a 145-pounder in Dearborn Fordson High School, he was told he was too small to play guard on the varsity football team. But he ignored tne advice and became a star lineman. In 1956, as a budding lawyer in Traverse City, he was warned that he had no chance of unseating incumbent Rep. Ruth Thompson, who had served in Congress for three years. But Griffin ignored the advice, won the primary, and went ahead to get elected to the House. Three terms later he again ignored the skeptics and got through Congress the Landrum-Griffin labor law. Griffin won election to the Senate in 1966, filling the seat of the late Sen. Patrick McNamara, a Democrat. The Maple VaUey News.

Mt and Mrs. Hale Sackett «pent Friday in Lansing with Mr. and Mrs. Dick Campbell and son. New Arrival to support the August millage vote of 2 mills for the purpose of construction of a new fire house. The support was based on these three basic points. ’ 1. Millage. This will only be a one mill increase of the taxpayers present taxes. A one mill levy for fire equipment expires this year. 2. Term of Millage. The millage will be for a 5-r year period. The building will not be obsolete at the expiration of the millage. 3. Buildings. The building is a simple cement block structure with space for future expansion and it will not exceed the amount raised by the millage. The old buildings will be razed and the new bouse will be constructed on existing property. A 2-mill increase will be two dollars for every thousand-dollars of property evaluation. The average taxpayer will pay about $10 .a year for the five years or about $50 over the five years for a new fire house. All citizens 65 and over will not be taxed for this im­ provement. The Jaycees feel this is a very needed and worth­ while community improvement and the expenses have been held to a minimum. If any interested citizens have any questions, please feel free to contact any Jaycee or fireboard member. * i A . ..- -.y . QUALITY COURTS MOTEL Gold Key 6500 John C.

In addition to this, we have found thousands of containers that hold water, in backyards and alleys, within die community. Some easily overlooked i­ tems as a wheelbarrow half-filled with water, plas­ tic playpools, washtubs, oil drums or cans, omamental vases and flower pots, - in fact, many, man­ y kinds of contained that are capable of holding wa­ ter after a shower or rain or after you water your lawn. These, too, produce mosquitoes. One mosquito may lay several hundred eggs at a time on the' water surfaces referred to above, or, on mud, and may repeat this procedure several times each year. The eggs hatch, develop into larvae or wiggles in the water, and finally, there emerges the adult mosquito fully equipped to inflict her annoy- . ing bites on you. Only organized mosquito abatement districts can successfully locate and destroy mosquito wiggles in sources that can be bandied by individuals - the ponds, marshes, etc. that require draglines, airplanes, ot other special equipment for drainage and large area chemical controL However, YOU can prevent mos­ quito breeding on your property. This will help not only you but your neighbors too! Mosquito abatement is a community problem don't raise these pests on your own property. Whenever necessary and in areas where you can spray your property without damaging others proper­ ty, spray grass and low shrubs with Malathion + meth­ oxy cnlor (1^1%). Apply pyrethrum or Abat to wa­ ter to kill the wigglers. If a fog is to be used to kill adult mosquitoes, use a combination of malathion + Lethane 384 or a ready to use Lethane 384 + methox­ ychlor solution. Your gasoline lawn mower may be adapted for fogging. REMEMBER -- You may only achieve a few hours of relief when treating your yard. Longer relief is possible through organized mosquito abatement dis­ tricts designed to attack the pest at the source.

MICHIGAN. THURSDAY, JULY 31, 1969 NUMBER 10 Vote August 5th for new fire barn Only a few days remain before voters of Castle­ ton and Maple Grove Townships will go to the polls to approve two mills for five yean for a new build­ ing to house the fire fighting equipment and the ambulance. The Village of Nashville lies within these two townships. Voters in Castleton Township will vote at the Township hall on Nashville's Main Street, and Ma­ ple Grove electors will cast their ballot at the Town­ ship hall in Maple Grove Township. Back in 1947 the three units. Maple Grove, Cas­ tleton and Nashville, merged to form a single unit. The Fire Bdard was made up of the supervisor and clerk from each township, and two representatives from the Nashville Village Council. Presently Cecil Barrett is chairman of the board which meets once each month. Also in attendance at these meetings are representatives from-the fire department. Since the re-organization of these three units new equipment has been purchased, and the volunteer fire department is one of the best in the area. The firemen also operate the ambulance service, and in 1968 the old blacksmith shop adjacent to the fire station was purchased to house the ambulance. The approval of two mills for five years would mean approximately $78, 000 which would be used to construct a new building. This would be built on the present site of the old tire bam and the black­ smith shop. To each taxpayer, voting for a mill means a d d ing $1. 00 per thousands—or $2.00 for the two mills-—per year. The one mill which they have been paying over the past five-year period expired last year, so actually the new tax would be an ad­ dition of only one mill over last year. Plans for the new building call for a structure 55 feet wide and 76 feet long to be built of cement blocks and steel suspended roof. Construction could beginsoon as approval it given, because the townships could borrow on anticipated taxes. The Fire Board does not anticipate the need for any new fire fighting equipment. The last fire truck was pur­ chased in 1967. Teenagers given permission to hold street dance The Nashville village council Thursday evening voted to accept bids on a new police cruiser. The police committee, headed by Ben Kenyon, and the police officers will designate specifications for the cruiser-package before seeking bids. The bids will be opened at the Thursday, August 14, meeting. ■« Permission was granted a group ot teenagers to hold a street dance on Maple Street Saturday eve­ ning, August 2, providing there is proper supervision and the youngsters handle all cleanup detail follow­ ing the dance. The resignation of James L. Erwin, director of Public Works, was accepted with regrets. Erwin has served the village for the past five yean. He is re­ signing to accept a teaching position in the northern part of Louisiana. He has been working over the past several years to earn his degree before entering the teaching profession, Village president Harold Christiansen will an­ nounce the bouts for die open house at the pump bouse and sewage disposal plant for some time dur­ ing die week of August 10 - 17. This will enable residents to learn more about the work of these d e - A quarterly report of the Lakeview Cemetery Board, prepared by the new treasurer, William Suntken, was read by the clerk, Mrs. Ada SkedgelL There is a balance of $1,184. 62 in the cemetery treasury. The cemetery board is under the jurisdic­ tion ofthe council, but works as an independent unit. New cards are to be issued in August for local res­ idents who wish to use the village dump.

Annual Indian gathering planned at Charlton Park * - Since 1934, historic Indian Landing in Charlton Park has been the scene of an annual Indian gather­ ing of one sort or another which gradually evolved into what today is known as the Michigan Indian Homecoming Pow Wow. This annual affair draws In­ dians from a number of states and visitors from all over. The Pow Wow itself is simply a gathering o f< Indians for social and business reasons. However,what draws the thousands of visitors is the dance presenta­ tions given as part of the weekend. These (fences and curemonies by costumed performers are scheduled for 2 and 8 p. m. on Saturday the 9th of August and for 2 p. m. on Sunday, August 10. ■ Besides the scheduled dances, there will be booths demonstrating and selling Indian hand craft items. This coupled with the costumed performers, dance and costume judging and general atmosphere of the afternoon make for an enjoyable two days for Indians, photographers and visitor alike. The final attraction is the park itself with its rou­ tine attractions. There is the renovated and reopened Barry County Museum, the pony cart tours of the park and the evening free film series each Friday, Satur­ day and Sunday, not to mention picnics, fishing and swimming on 1 1/2 miles of the Thornapple. . Jaycees urge support for fire barn millage On Wednesday, July 23, the Maple Valley Jaycees voted to support the August millage vote or 2 mills for the purpose of construction of a new fire house. The support was based on these three basic points. 1. Millage. This will only be a one mill increase of the taxpayers present taxes. A one mill levy for * fire equipment expires this year. 2. Term of Millage. The millage will be for a 5­ year period. The building will not be obsolete at the expiration of the millage. ■ 3. Buildings. The building is a simple cement block structure with space for future expansion and it will not exceed the amount raised by the millage. The old buildings will be razed and the new house will be constructed on existing property. A 2-mill increase will be two dollars for every thousand dol­ lars of property evaluation. The average taxpayer will pay about $10 a year for the five yean or about $50 over the five years tor a new fire bouse. For all citizens 65 and over, this will be included in Sen­ jot Citizen tax exemption. The Jaycees feel this is a very needed and worth­ while community improvement and the expenses fixe board TO THE VOTERS OF CASTLETON AND MAPLE GROVE TOWNSHIPS In 1947 the townships of Castleton and Maple Grove and the Village of Nashville entered into a mutual agreement to eqrfip, maintain and operate what was then the Nashville Fire Department, loca­ ted in the present fire station. c Over the years the department has increased and upgraded the equipment and staffed it with well tramed firemen and the townships can proudly say it is one of the best rural departments anywhere. However, the fire station, an old wood frame building, built before the turn of the century, is no longer safe or adequate to house this fine equipment. The trucks are longer and wider and there is hardly room to squeeze the trucks in. A fire in the upper part of the structure many years ago weakened the building and the beams are sagging to an unsafe point; also, the electrical wir­ ing and the heating are no longer safe. In 1968 the department organized the ambulance service, a vital service to the community. This is also operated by members of the Fire Department. To house the ambulance the old blacksmith shop ad­ jacent to the north of the fire station was purchased. If both buildings are removed from the lot it would give ample space to erect a building suitable for both fire and ambulance services. For the past five years taxpayers have been pay­ ing one mill with which the department purchased two new fixe trucks and other equipment to bring the equipment up to date and underwriter approvaL This one mill has expired and by voting two mills now, taxpayers would be paying only one mill more than they have been for the last five years. On Au§ust 5th voters of Castleton and Maple Grovp Town­ tips are being asked to approve a tax levy of two mills for five years to build a firq and ambulance station and some built-in installations, such as a hose dryer and storage racks. The two mills would amount to about seventy­ eight thousand dollars, and with today's costs and some common sense, will build a building and e­ quip it. The size would be fifty-five feet wide and seventy-six feet long, of cement block construc­ tion and steel suspended roof, and adequate for many years to come. bold down the insurance rates in the community. Your firemen and ambulance drivers are dedica­ ted men of this community who volunteer their time to train and operate these services, day or night, rain or snow, zero or ninety degrees in the shade, they respond to the call at once. “ ' “ rtment is sure the voters of this c c mwant to continue these services. ______ *n is invited to visit the present fire station and look it over, then be the judge.

The big steam engines of yesteryear huffed and puffed, tooted and smoked at Barry's Resort thb past weekend, as members of the Michigan Steam En­ gine and Thresher's Club thrilled the huge crowd who gathered to bask in the memories of the early 1900S. Meanwhile some 2P0 big and small antique gas tractors and gas stationary engines held the atten­ tion of the young and old — men, women and chil­ dren — reviving once again the dignity of a glor­ ious past. The big giants demonstrated their versatility in providing the power for old fashioned threshing and sawmilling, and vied against each other at getting the most horsepower out of the Prony brake tests. There were also demonstrations of veneer making and shingle making just as it was done in the olden days. And for fun the big steam engines climbed a 30degree ramp, balanced on a teeter-totter, were used to "run the bases" in baseball games, and were used in pulling contests. While the youngsters looked on in awe, the old­ sters reminbced of the old days when they followed the threshing gangs, or worked in a sawmill. Not toe many are left who belonged to a thresh­ ing gang, but there were a few who recalled the days when they used to move from farm to farm, threshing the wheat and baling hay for their neigh­ bors. Starting early in the morning, one man re­ called, the steam engines were made ready for the day. When the steam was up,, the whbtle would blow, making white puffs of smoke in the sky, and the men would head out to the fields to work long, hard hours. Wages weren't much in those days, but the mem­ ories of the good meak — tables laden with huge platters of country-fried chicken, bbcuits and gra­ vy and homemake pies provided by the housewiveswere happy ones. These men also remembered the dirt, sweat, sleeping in the bam nights, all the oth­ er hardships, but despite all thb, some still wbhed for the "good old days" when the "world seemed bright. " Among those dbplaying old gas engines at the show was Leo W. Haynes of Mason. He owns sever­ al, and had five on display, three of which he had restored himself. Probably his favorite is an old one-horse Mogul of 1906 vintage. Thb is one oftbe oldest and rarest such engines in the state. He has taken it to shows all over Michigan, Ohio, and In­ diana, and thb week has it on display at the Ing­ ham County fair. Thb engine "hadn't run for 40 years" but fie repaired it, painted it, and replaced some of the parts and now it "runs like a top." He also had on dbplay a Root & Vandervort which was made before 1912, a three-hone John Deere which came from Grand Ledge area and hadn't been in op­ eration in some 20 years; a three-hone Hercules v/hich was dug out of a swamp near Alpena and was "rusty and in oad condition. " and a 1 1/2-horse­ power John Deere which he put into running con dition. Although Mr. Haynes has had an interest in en­ gines "since he was a kid" he never had time to take them up as a hobby until about twd yean ago when hb health started to fail him and he had to give up hb work as a painter and decorator for 43 years. Some of the engines at the show were small e­ nough to hold in one's hand. They have been care­ fully built to scale, and the precision that has gone into them b almost unbelieveable. Too, the thousands and thousands of dollars that have been spent on the big "iron men" as well as the smaller engines b astounding. Many of these antiques sell for much more than the original cost. The steam show b a dirty place to vbu, and it's also noisy. -The smoke, soot, slapping of the big belts, tooting of whbtles, and the straw from the blower pipe of the threshing operation which floats down into the hab of the spectators. But there b a fascination for persons from all walks of life, and the annual show will continue as long as the oldengines are able to function -- and it seems they will go on forever. Leo Haynes b pictured with a gas engine. The Maple VaUey News. Nashville. Michigan, Thursday, July 31. 1969 & On Tuesday, August 5th, the voters in Castleton and Maple Grove Townships will have an opportun­ ity to go to the polls and express their desires in re­ tard to much-needed new fire housing. Articles ringing out the answers to questions regarding the cost of thb new building have been printed in our newspaper. There are additional articles thb week and also an architect's drawing of the proposed build­ ing. It would be wise if each voter would review very carefully these articles. Thb column of the newspaper has been used many times to offer recognition and encouragement to the members of the Volunteer Fue Department They are, indeed, a group of dedicated and well- trained men. The good rating of thb particular fire depart­ . meet helps to hold down the insurance rates for the entire community. During the recent change in the ambulance service, these same men got together and provided excellent coverage in this area for those needing ambulance service. It appears too frequently a vote for millage gets an immediate negative response from the voter. Un­ fortunately many never take the time to investigate and determine just what the additional millage means to their particular tax. The millage v<xe at thb election i: far 2 milk for five years. Thb means an additional $1 per thousand per mill for each year. The one mill which has been paid over the past fiveyear period has expired so actually thb 2-mill vote would be paying only 1 mill more than we have been paying over thb period. The 2-mill for 5 years would provide approximate­ ly $78, 000 which would be used to construct the building and equip it. Fire thief Forrest Babcock has stated that the fue bam will be open on Monday and Tuesday so those who wfah to, may go in and look around the build­ ing. He also said that transportation would be pro­ vided if needed for those wishing to go to the polk on Tuesday.

Powell of Ionia had cause to be especially happy when the above picture was snapped by an alert photographer in the office of Governor William G. Milliken in the State Capitol. The Governor had just signed into law H. 2200, the bill to provide for reflectorized license plates for Michigan motor vehicles, begin­ ning with those issued for 1971. Representative Powell had taken a leading role in promoting this legislation during the past three years. It had been endorsed and supported by more than 3& statewide civic, highway safety and law enforce­ ment organizations. Governor Milliken had just presented Representative Powell with a specially autographed copy of this new law when the picture was taken. Experience in the 32 states, the District of Co­ lumbia and 15 foreign countries in which these im­ proved safety plates are already in use shows that The hours that the village dump is open are: Wednesdays 4 pm to 6 pm Saturdays 9 am to 3 pm Climate Blended FARGO GASOLINES ...Made For Summer Fun they consistently reduced nighttime rear-end col­ lisions, thus eliminating many resultant deaths, per­ sonal injuries and property damage and have thus brought about a substantial decrease in automobile property damage and liability insurance costs.

Paula, who would have been a freshman in the Maple Valley School next month, was a passenger in an eastbound car on State Road driven by her sis­ ter, Patricia, 17. Also riding in the Barlond car was Janet Johncock, 17. The Barlond car collided with a northbound Roma Pizza truck driven by Kenneth Schuitema, 35, of Grandville, route salesman for the Grand Rapids Pizza Company. All four of the persons involved were taken to Pennock Hospital by ambulance where Paula lived only a short time. Involved in accident George Tinkey, 22. of 617 Pleasant St. .Charlotte was riding his motorcycle last Sunday north on Ionia Rd.

Patricia was suffering from extreme shock, and Janet received deep lacerations on both legs.Schuitema was removed to Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids. He suffered head and leg injuries and a frac­ tured arm. Both Patricia and Janet are enrolled as seniors in the Maple Valley High SchooL Barry County deputies Michael Lesick and Larry Gay policed the accident and was assisted by Nash­ ville Police officer William Cassidy, the first offi­ cer to arrive on the scene.

Annual Indian gathering planned at Charlton Park Since 1934, historic Indian Landing in Charlton Park has been the scene of an annual Indian gather­ ing of one sort or another which gradually evolved into what today is known as the Michigan Indian Homecoming Pow Wow. This annual affair draws In­ dians from a number of states and visitors from all over. The Pow Wow itself is simply a gathering of Indians for social and business reasons. However.what draws the thousands of visitors is the dance presenta­ tions given as part of the weekend. These dances and ceremonies by costumed performers are scheduled for 2 and 8 p. m. on Saturday the 9th of August and for 2 p. m. on Sunday, August 10. Besides the scheduled dances, there will be booths demonstrating and selling Indian hand craft items. This coupled with the costumed performers, dance and costume judging and general atmosphere of the afternoon make tor an enjoyable two days for Indians, photographers and visitors alike. The final attraction is the park itself with its rou­ tine attractions. There is the renovated and reopened Barry County Museum, the pony cart tours of the park and the evening free film series each Friday, Satur­ day and Sunday, not to mention picnics, fishing and swimming on 1 1/2 miles of the Thornapple. Announces Open House Nashville village president Harold Christiansen announces that the sewage disposal plant and the pump station will be open for public inspection dur­ ing the state-wide ’ Willing Water Week" scheduled for August 10 - 17. On Wednesday, August 13, touts have been set up for 10 a. m. at the sewer plant and at 11 a. m. at the water plant, and again in the afternoon when the hours are 2 p. m. at the sewer plant and 3 p. m. at the water plant. On Saturday operators will again be on hand to show the operations. The hours will be 4 p. m. at the sewer plant, and 5 p. m. at the water plant. A Proclamation WHEREAS, the city of Nashville is deeply aware that its residents are dependent for their health, comfort, and standard of living upon an abund­ ant supply of safe, high- quality water; and WHEREAS, the future economic and social growth of this community is directly related to the availability of dependable supplies of good water; and WHEREAS, the American Water Works Associa­ tion, which is dedicated to advancing the know­ ledge of design, operation, and management of water utilities throughout the United States and Canada, has asked that a special period be de­ signated during which each water utility can bring its message to the people; and WHEREAS, WILLING WATER, the symbol of pub­ lic water service, is present to help Municipal Water Works tell the people of our city about the vital role played by this utility; and WHEREAS, it is equally important that the peo­ ple of this community become aware of the needs of the Municipal Water Works and the tasks that face it in the future; and WHEREAS, the American Waterworks Associa­ tion has designated the week of August 10 to Au­ gust 16 as a period during which special atten­ tion should be focused on the water utilities of the United States and Canada; NOW, therefore, I, Harold Christiansen, presi­ dent of Nashville, do hereby proclaim the week of August 10 as . WILLING WATER WEEK and sincerely urge all citizens to join with me in developing a wider understanding of the con­ tributions, the services, and the future needs of the Municipal Water Works. Village president Harold Christiansen and chairman of the Parks Committee, Ben Kenyon, check the crumbling condition of the base of the water tower in Putnam Park. Kenyon could easily put the stick into the two-inch space where the base has slid away from the tower. Christiansen checks the cracks in the base, i.hich is in serious con- < dition. ■ --Photo by Gladys Richardson IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand on this 4th day of August in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and sixtynine. Harold Christiansen, president �NATIONAL NEWSPAPER backstreet barometer It is indeed an ill wind that do<_s not blow some good. When a bunch of out-of-towners missed a turn somewhere, went down tuc sidewalk and wound up knocking the front and a good part of rtu side off the Flea Market it looked like no good could con.e of such actions. Now the Flea Market is all dolled up with a new front and it improves the looks of the town more tuan somewhat. Many of the kids in town tnought there was going to be a street dance here last Saturday evening. The reason there was no dance was a bit of a lack of communication. It seems the kids went to the coun­ cil and asked permission for the dance. The council said it would be great and the kids just went ahead with plans for the dance without finding out anytliing further or making any nangements with the village. They planned the dance for a time when one of the policemen would be off duty and out of town and they also made plans to charge for the dance. The thing did not come off for this reason. The council by johu bon/'ll ton was of tin- opinion tnat it would be difficult tocnargc admission for anything on the public street and tney also tliougnt titvte mould be more planning and some provision for supervision. Tlie kids who planned the original dance say they intend to make plans for anotlier one witnin the next couple of weeks. The Village Council is all in favor of this. The kids will need the help of parents for the supervision. Many liave already volunteered. faiiiwjummxi MAPLE VALLEY NEWS NASHVILLE NEWS & VERMONTVILLE ECHO NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Publislied weekly by Nashville Publications, Inc.

LETTERS Hold Sunshine Party TO THE EDITOR July 28, 1969 Editor, The Nashvilje News Nashville, Michigan Dear Sir; My thoughts about the Nashville News go back to a grand gentleman named Len Feighner, and the days when I summered in Nashville. As the Editor and Publisher of the News, Len influenced my to the extent that many years later I elected Journalism as my college major. Although my journalistic career is many years be­ hind me, and thankfully never did include writing obituaries, the enclosed piece will represent a be­ lated return to the fourth estate. I have no particular pride of authorship, but I felt an urge to put thestory on paper. Do with it as you see fit. Should you elect to use it in any form, I would appreciate receiving a marked copy. Yours very truly, Ralph E. Kauffman Obituary Minta Bergman White came home to Nashville last Saturday. It was a nice day for a homecoming... sunny, mild, entirely in keeping with Mima’s way of life. It wasn't an exciting homecoming, but Minta hadn't been an exciting sort of person for a good many years. Not many Nashville residents were aware of her homecoming, because most of those who knew her had already moved to Lakeview Cemetery. A f e w residents glanced around when the gleaming black Cadillac purred past, then returned to their activi­ ties. Those in the small group which accompanied Min­ ta on this last Nashville journey were no strangers to Nashville. Keith and Margaret Nelson, whose fath­ er, Kent, had worked for years at the Farmers and Merchants Bank, whose mother, Dora, a cousin of Minta, had sung in the Methodist choir for years. Vernon Navue and Esther Hager Hicks, whose par­ ents and grandparents all figured in the Nashville scene of earlier days. Mima's nephew, Ralph Kauff­ man and his wife Helen, and their children, Kim and Ralph III, Minta' grandniece and grandnephew. Past the site of the now vanished old Nashville High School, where Mima numbered among the small 1897 graduating class... by the sagging r e mains of the Lentz Table Company... up the narrow gravel road to Lakeview, the ride must have been a familiar one to Mima. There is an orderly dignity about Lakeview miss­ ing from many larger cemeteries. In the green qui­ et of these friendly surroundings, Mima was laid to rest alongside the body of her infant son and her mother and father, Cora and Jasper Bergman. In keeping with Mima's explicit instructions, the graveside service was simple, sincere... and brief. There were not many tears, for this was not a com­ pany of mourners, but rather a group of friends and later-generation relatives who warned to keep Min­ ta company on this last earthly journey. When the short ceremony was over, the friends and relatives lingered for a few minutes, then de­ parted quietly, leaving Minta in the company of tier family, and rows of friends and other relatives, many of whom had been waiting at Lakeview for a long time. The circle was complete... Mima Bergman White, born March 16, 1880, had at last returned to the community she had always regarded as home. One sees a lot in 89 years, but Nashville must have look­ ed very good to Minta last Saturday morning. Mima was home, and to her surviving friends and relatives it seemed entirely right and proper. It must have seemed the same to Mima. Last Friday afternoon the Griswold Room was the setting for the annual gathering of ladies from the Vermontville area for the event known as the S unshine Party. Since 1938 the last Friday in July has been set aside to honor the older ladies of the com­ munity. This custom really began about 75 years ago, dwindled out, and then was revived in 1938 by Rev. James Stein. The sight of these charming and gracious women grouped about a lovely teatable, the sound of their voices raised in singing, their enthusiastic applause during the program presented for their entertain­ ment, the solemn moment of prayer, and probably best of all, the opportunity to greet old friends and meet new ones; all these things made it a memor­ able affair and a highlight of the year. Mary Baker, who liad charge of the guest book, reports that 76 ladies registered. The three ladies with the greatest number of .years to their credit re­ ceived bouquets. They were Cora Rawson, Lulu Southern and Ethel Gam. The committee was composed of Ava Kroger, Mary Fisher, Vera Viele, Kathryn McDonald, Leone Cotton, Frances Shetenhelm, and Ann Samann. Ava Kroger and Leone Cotton greeted guests at the door. Mrs. Maunder, Mrs. Hosey and Mrs. Viele poured.yiTea and fruit punch were served along with an incredible assortment of delectable cookies that would turn any Viennese pastry cook green with en­ vy. The program was presented by Dorothy Carpenter who introduced and directed the youth choir of the United Methodist Church. These youngsters sang several numbers, some acapella and some accom­ panied by Ava Kroger. Their vivacity soon resulted in "audience participation" casting considerable doubt on the oft-memioned "generation gap. " Randy Garn, accompanied by his aunt, Mrs. Rich­ ard Garn, sang three songs which were very much enjoyed. Those five fascinating Foxes, Cathy. Laur­ ie, Mary. Ann and Liz. tuned up their instruments and played several rollicking numbers. (The King Family and the Lennon Sisters had better look to their laurels!) Mrs. Tate, wife of the Rev. David Tate. told.the story of the Praying Hands and led the assembly in prayer. The entire group sang "What a Friend We Have in Jesus," "America the Beautiful, " and "Blest Be the Tie That Binds, " Leta Nagle gave the necrology. Ruth Anderson read an important and very gratifying announcement from the Historical Society and the group were in vited to inspect the Museum after the party. It was a perfect day for a Sunshine Party.

CLASSIFIED IS FOR IF YOU BUY, SELL, TRADE, HIRE OR RENT Advertise in the Maple Valley News The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, August 7, 1969 W’l �Michigan Mirror BY ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION FACING FACTS If automaker critic Ralph Nader couldshow a fea­ ture in cars which could be connected with 24 per­ cent of fatal accidents in the state, the public would be demanding that corrections be made. But when figures snow that 24 percent of highway deaths are connected with drunk driving, there is very little public reaction. The public reacts no more when tola that 72 percent of drivers involved in fatal accidents were drinking to some degree be­ fore the accident. These figures, from a study b y Automobile Club of Michigan, indicate early the direction which must be taken if traffic deatns are to be reduced signific ntly. But the public does not seem to show an inclination to face up to the real problems of traffic safety.

Again and aba in this year, the group's bulletins have spoken of the need to combat sex education programs in any shape or form. The drive is being spearheaded by groups calling themselves MOTOREDE committee*. MOTOREDE stands for Movement to Restore Decency. The January society bulletin said there is "one more urgent requirement" for MOTOREDE commit­ tees besides merely organizing. "That requirement is organized, nationwide, in­ tensive, angry and determined opposition to the now mushrooming program of so-called sex education in the public schools," it said. . No more accurate description of the organized op­ position in Michigan could be found than "intensive, angry and determined. determined. " The same bulletin described sex education >n programs as a "subversive monstrosity" and a "1filthy communist plot." > . _Jt-sa4d-Sex education programs have three "com­ munist objectives:" —"A final assault upon the family as a funda­ mental block in the structure of our civilization. --"To destroy one whole generation of American youth. —"To help all of the other forces at work to des­ troy completely the very concept of morality." The February bulletin devotes more than five pa­ ges to "The Principles and Purposes of the Movement to Restore Decency" and often pamphlet reprints of the article. Pamphlets speak first of a "contemporary break­ down of morality and manners. " ft then asserts: "By far the most dangerous and disastrous step in this whole program to promote de­ generacy is the present increasingly widespread ef­ forts to introduce 'sex education^inro our schools all the way from kindergarten through high school." The pamphlet also said, "We do not believe that the current drive for sex education is even intended by it* originators and promoters to provide a need­ ed and beneficial service in the schools. It is their sinister objective instead to create an unceasing and dangerous obsession with sex in the minds of The April bulletin says, " Already, from several parts of the country we have received reports of ma­ jor victories in various effort* to keep sex education out of schools and in the home where it belongs. And this is just a beginning. " Sex education again pops up in the May issue of the bulletin. The society says the basis of-all sex education programs are 6 communists who are deter­ mined to use an artificially stimulated prepossession of sex during school years as a means of destroying the character of a whole generation of American youth. " The bulletin concludes by saying that it expects membership of MOTOREDE committees to be made up of only 10 percent society members. "The remaining 90 percent will consist of good citizens drawn from every level and division of A­ merican life, who are seriously concerned about the future of their children and of their country, " it says. . ROMNEY OUT At least one statehouse official doubts that for­ mer Gov. George Romney would even consider run­ ning for the US Senate in 1970. That's Gov. Wil­ liam G. Milliken. Sources close to the Governor say Milliken con­ siders the chances of Romney coming back to run for the Senate "very smalL '' The Governor, who has ruled himself out of the race for the Senate, does consider Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas E, Brennan as a possibility, however. As for Millkien himself, it's assumed by every­ one he’ll run for his present office.

Two women offered to share $20, 000 with her if she put up some of her own-money. Mrs. Hickok told police a woman struck up a con­ servation with her at a dress rack in a downtown store. They both left the store together, at which time another woman joined them carrying an envelope she "just found. ” Inside was another envelope with a glassine window with money showing through, Mrs. Hickok told police later. The second woman left Mrs. Hickok and the first woman at a restaurant while she went to "checkwith her employer. " She returned and said the envelope contained $20,000 in cash and a $10,000 bond which her employer kept. The woman then asked Mrs. Hickok to put some good-faith money in order to obtain her share of the money they had found. Mrs. Hickok drove to banks in Nashville and Ver­ montville and returned with $1,120 which she gave the two women. They then left, giving her instruc­ tions to go to an otttce downtown to receive het share of the money. They disappeared. She then went to the police.

This weekend will see the annual Michigan In­ dian Homecoming Pow Wow as it has been held at Charlton Park since 1934. To accompany it will be films on Indian themes shbwn at 7 p. m. in the Mu­ seum, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Two of the films are repeats from early in the summer because they are considered good enough to merit a larger audience. The first is the color film “How Indians Build Canoes" which takes the viewer through every step from stripping the bark from a large white birch tree to a fast paddle' with a crew of native canoe­ men in this most typical and unique of North Amer­ ican watercraft. The second film brought back for a rerun is "How to Make Primitive Stone Tools" which makes chip­ ping such implements as knives, scrapers and arrow­ heads see.m remarkably simple. The two new films are "Indian Canoeman" and "The Longhouse People." The latter is a colorpeek into the lives of a modern-day group of Iroquois In­ dians who still hold to the ancient religion of their fathers. Modem farm tractors and century old rituals mingle in a unique world of events, each evoking an appropriate dance or ceremony; from welcoming the dawn to mourning a dead chief. These films shoula add an extra educational and entertainment dimension to attending the annual Charlton Park Pow Wow. ■ Films for the weekend of August 15-17 include perhaps the best craft film ever made. Produced by Colonial Williamsburg only a year ago, "Cooper­ ing" shows all the detailed steps in converting a standing tree into a usable barret Even persons not particularly interested in barrel making should find the use of long forgotten hand tools interesting. With it will be two other craft films; "Woods & Their Uses" and "Candle Making. " Another Williamsburg craft film will highlight the August 22-24 showings. "Basket-making" will be accompanied by three short films on lumbering as it was done in Michigan's "Boom Era. " Airman Terry D. Quick, son of Mr. and Mrs.Francis W.

Wayne State University students now can catch up on missed lectures, cram for exams or enrich normal study programs merely by pushing buttons around the 180-acre campus. WSU’s new facility, the Tele-Norm Electronic Dial Access Information Retrieval System, allows students at 159 push-button dial stations in nine different campus buildings to tune in instantly any of 134 pretaped lesson programs. The programs—two per tape—are changed period­ ically as the courses progress. Utilizing technological advances from the U.S. space program, the dial access system's reed relay switching and microcircuits are design­ ed to function literally for billions of operations. Student carrels—private listening booths—with head­ sets and push-button dial units are linked by sophisti­ cated switching equipment to 67 automatic audio tape decks in the Wayne State Systems, Distribution and Utilization Center. The net­ work is connected by leased telephone lines. Six stations are in class­ rooms, where instructors can dial selected instructional material and feed it over a public address system to hundreds of students. Hie other 153 push-button panels are in the student carrels. Immediate expansion plans call for installation of six carrels m the WSU School of Medicine and six in Hutzel Hospital. The University is considering long, range plans for adding 2,000 carrels and an appropriate number of tape decks to the system, says Dr. Thomas W. Roberts Jr., 920 S. Reading Road, Bloom­ field Hills, Systems Center director. dial A TAPE to STUDY- Wayne State University students now can study for exams or hear missed lectures from 159 push-button dial booths around the WSU campus. Pushing the proper numbered buttons will activate any of 134 pre­ taped lesson programs, changed periodically as the courses progress. Dr. Thomas W. Roberts Jr., WSU Systems Center director, is changing a tape on one of the tape deck banks. When construction is completed this fall on the new WSU Speech and Foreign Language Building, Roberts says it will have its own 400-carreI dial access system for retrieval of language lessons, and may be hooked up later by a trunk line to the system now in operation. A study now is underway to determine the feasibility of using telephone trunk lines to connect remote learning stations to the system. Use of telephone lines also could enable students in the Detroit Nashville dump hours The hours that the village dump is open arc: Wednesdays 4 pm to G pm • . Saturdays 9 am to 3 pm BE1GH FARM BUREAU The Bcigh Farm Bureau group will meet Saturday August 9th at 8:00 at the home of Lafe and Sylvia Williams Jr. on Lawrence Rd.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, August 7, 1969 area to dial the desired taped program from their homes. Roberts notes that video monitors can and might be added to the audio positions later. The taped programs, mounted on tape decks in the Systems Center, include the whole spectrum of University education, from English liter­ ature and Greek philosophy to Baroque music apprec­ iation and meteorology. Most programs are prepared by the WSU staff 4nd faculty. The automatic electronic system has metering devices that record frequency and duration of programs selected and the number of “customers” on each. The $124,000 system is almost unlimited in flex­ ibility, Roberts notes, and since there are few moving parts—main parts are modular plug-in type—maintenance is greatly reduced. The value of dial access instruction was proved at , Wayne State with a small electro-mechanical system now being replaced by the Tele-Norm System. Students generally were enthusiastic, and many claimed better learning and retention because of the direct individual impact. � http://barrycountyhistoryportal.org/files/original/21/837/MapleValleyNews_1969-08-14.pdf ed70ac4613dde04d76fdf1d97fc0ea08 PDF Text Text COMBINED NASHVILLE NEWS AND VERMONTVILLE ECHO VOLUME 97 100 a Copy THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS.

Demonstrate tribal dances at Annual Indian Pow ff ou During the two-day Indian Pow Wow held at Charl­ ton Park this past weekend, an estimated 3, 500 per­ sons were on hand to watch the Indians demonstrate their various tribal dances and ceremonials, and view their handicraft work on display. On hand were 280 Indians representing 26 tribes. They came from Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Illinois, Wis­ consin. Michigan and Ontario, Canada. Of those encamped at the park 96 Indians participated in the programs given Saturday afternoon and evening, and again Sunday afternoon. Over 1, 000 persons visited the Museum where new exhibits on the early Indians had been set up. The exhibits included many Indian tribes from Mexico to Alaska, and of special interest was a case which held an Indian Jacket decorated in quills. During the evening movies on Indians and their crafts were shown inside the Museum. During the Pow Wow cameramen from Michigan Outdoors were on hand to film the programs, and these will be shown, according to Harvey Versteeg, director at the park, on TV channel 3, at 7 p. m. Thursday evening of this week. Next weekend there will be a fine display of an­ tique cars at Charlton Park and these are sure to draw crowds during Saturday and Sunday. In the eve­ ning a fascinating craft film, made at Williamsburg, Va., will be shown on "Coopering". This has been scheduled for 7 p. m. in the museum. Mr, Versteeg, also announces that an additional slide and " bouncy" animals have been set up in the park for the youngsters. . Charlton Park has undergone some vast changes over the past several months, and if you haven't visited this only county-owned park and museum you're in for some pleasant surprises.

Between 15 and 20 old time vehicles are expect­ ed to make the journey from the Cereal City to the park in Hastings, all hoping to arrive about noon for lunch. The can will be on view at the park while the owners enjoy the park facilities and exhibits in the Barry County Museum. Anyone interested is invited to join the "car buffs" for a day of swimming, pic­ nicking and relaxation much as the original owners of the old cars probably did on Sunday afternoons shortly after tire turn of the century. Charlton Park is 1/2 mile north of M-79 halfway between Hastings and Nashville, located on the shores of Thomapple Lake and River. �backstreet barometer Last week's paper had a photograph in it showing the bottom of our village water towet and revealing it .to be in a state of ratner bad repair. In a high ' wind the tower apparently separates from the foun­ dation. It would appear that some day the tower could blow over and spill water over a good portion of Nashville. It would, at the very least, put plenty of water in the park. Nashville is not unique in the difficulties it is experiencing with supplying drinking water-to its people. Many villages and cities are in far Worse shape than we are. Nashville's problem is only that we don't have adequate space to store water for the use of our people. Many places on this earth do not have water to store. . Right at the moment we in Michigan do not have to worry about a supply of water. Michigan controls almost a third of the fresh water of the world. Three hundred years ago when the white men first started paddling then canoes around the Great Lakes and when they first suited probing into the interior of our state, they were impressed by the amount of water the land had to offer. We are still impressing people but this too might come to an end. If we continue to throw our waste into our water we will only compound problems. It is just not logical to foul our environment. If we continue to treat our greatest resource as we have in ir the past, Michigan wul will then control a third of what was fresh water of‘ the world. It certainly f , could not be considered fresh if it is filled with oil, sewage, sewage. industrial effluence and general filth. This is an­ other story though. _ Nashville's problem, at' the moment at least, does not seem to be one of polluted drinking water. Right now we have a supply of water. Our problem is one of storing the water for day-to-day use. When our water tower was first built, the village of Nashville was about the same size it is now. From this one would assume that a new water tower the same size as the old one would amply take care of the needs of the.village. This is not true. Since the water tower was built the per-capita consumption of water has increased not one, not two times, but as much as twenty times. So even if the towd- were in good repair, it probably would not be adequate for a toyn of this size. We would soon be faced with the problem of needing more storage space anyway. The people of the village can be comforted in the knowledge that our water problem is indeed a small problem compared to that of many places where the people would be happy to provide a place to store water if they could only get an ample supply of water. California is now mining fossil water that it took nature millions of years to store up. The good people of California are filling swimming pools, watering lawns, taking baths at such a rate that they deplete this fossil water in the matter of a very very few years. When that is gone there is no more. This is like drawing money out of a bank... money -deposited by a grandfather or a great grandfather. When that is gone... you either go to work or starve. At least we are not in that shape. The water we use is l-eing replenished. Our water problem can be remedied with a few dollars. California's problem cannot be remedied. They just don't have the water. Building a place to store water will be a problem, to be sure. We have to find the money, the place to locate a new tower and the connecting lines to it. Perhaps we will need new wells.' This is for certain, we must have water. Without it Nashville could not hope to exist for long.

When they need water they need it badly and they need it immediately. These men have worked hard and long protecting the rest of us from the dangers of fire. They have worked out of a fire hall that has been far less than adequate for years. The old fire hall has never been large enough to house the equipment we have. There has never been space enough to dry hoses after they have been used. Last week the people of the district voted for millage to build a new fire hall, one that will be adequate. Chis is a step in the right direction and will make our volunteer fire department that much more efficient.

Jerry Johnson was given recognition for help on the parade for the Nashville Centennial and Jerry Reese for his work with the Keystone Kops. Local teenagers attended Michigan Citizenship Seminar The challenge of maintaining and improving the American political and economic system and to encourage more active citizen participation was emphasized to approximately 175 high school jun­ ior and senior students chosen from Michigan high schools during the last week in July at Central Mich­ igan University, Mt. Pleasant. The opportunity to participate in this program was offered at a Young People’s Citizenship Seminar, sponsored by Michi­ gan Farm Bureau.

Photos by Gladys Richardson Classes to begin on September 2nd The Maple Valley Schools, serving parts of Eaton and Barry counties, will open for classes on Tues­ day, Sept. 2 with all students in grades 1 to 12 be­ ing in session on Tuesday. Kindergarten students will be in attendance on Wednesday, Sept. 3. Class­ es in all buildings will begin at 8:30 a. m. The opening teachers meetings will be held on Aug. 28 and 29. The meeting will be a combined meeting' of all staff members which will be held in the high school cafeteria at 9:00 a. m. on Aug. 28. Staff meetings are being scheduled in the various buildings with the building principals for Thursday afternoon and Friday. Collective negotiations with all teaching and non-teaching personnel were completed before the end of the last school year. The new teachers salary schedule should help attract well qualified teachers while keeping competent experienced teachers in the Maple Valley Schools. The new bachelor's degree schedule starts at $7; 000 and reaches a max­ imum of $9. 975 in eleven steps. The master's de­ gree schedule begins at $7,400 and reaches a max­ imum of $10, 545 in eleven steps. An increase is expected in student enrollment this fall with an anticipated 1, 900 students compared with this past year’s enrollment of 1, 853 students. All available classrooms will be used for instruct­ ional purposes and the largest classroom enrollments will be in the lower elementary grades. The elementary staff is nearly complete with a need for a kindergarten teacher and a fifth grade teacher. This year the elementary staff will also in­ clude a physical education teacher, an art teacher, and a vocal music teacher. Again this year, remed­ ial reading teacher! will be working in the elemen­ tary grades and junior high school. Mrs. Hildred Peabody will be teaching in the area of student counselling and curriculum evaluation. The junior-senior high school staff is complete excepting for an instrumental music teacher, juniorhigh science teacher, and a part time commercial teacher. The Maple Valley Jaycees have been organized only a little over a year. Yet, during this short period they have poured over $5, 000 into com­ munity efforts in the villages of Vermontville and Nashville. The Jaycees have worked hard on the various projects, and their efforts have been greatly helped along by the members of the Auxiliary. The Jaycee membership is made up of young men 21 to 35 years of age from Vermontville and Nash­ ville. The group holds its regular meetings at the American Legion Hall in Vermontville. It would be impossible to list all of their activ­ ities, but they did help in promoting the Maple Syrup Festival in Vermontville; in developing a park in that community; promoting the Nashville Centennial; sponsoring canoe races; fishing contests; basketball and baseball teams in both communities, and many other activities for children. The high­ light of this past year was providing a Christmas party for underprivileged children and giving them Sfor a shopping expedition for gifts for their is. The jc’s spent nearly $500 on this project, and were able to provide for only a small percent of the children they would like to have entertained. This year they hope to include more children in the Christmas party. The first JC president was Gary Foote, but before his year terminated he was named a State Director and Lee McMillen finished out the year. This year Larry Filter heads the group as president. The inter­ rice president is Larry Lenz; external vice president, Don Augustine; secretary, Rex Balch; treasurer, Greg Hoefler; state directors, Larry Carpenter and Ray Roush, and local directors, Wm. Semrau and Ron Rosin. President Filter has appointed the following com­ mittees for the year: Awards, Ron Rosin, Gene Ser­ vice and Dick Huckendubler; house and social, Gary Foote, Larry Lenz, Rex Balch, Greg Hoefler and Don Augustine; community service, Rex Balch, Tim Smith, Lamoin Mitchell, Bob Gardner, Duane Reid and Leon Frith; public affiars, Terry Gardner, "ahn Hartwell, Marvin Laurie, Sam Sessions, Jerry Gray and Russ Weiler; records and recognition, Jerry Johnson, Ralph Kirk and Marvin Laurie. Ways and means, Larry Carpenter, Wm. Semrau, Lee McMillen, Larry Lenz and Jim Carpenter; pub­ licity, Wm. Kjergaard, Kenneth Meade Jr. , Bob Carmoney, Vance Higdon, Fred Corkins and Doug­ las Gardner; youth and sports, Richard Furlong, Merle Martin, Ralph Kirk, Bill Gibbs and Ray Roush; membership, Jerry Reese and Larry Filter; parlimentarian, Lee McMillen; chaplain, Wark Rooks,publi­ cations and communications, Dick Furlong, Glenn Suup and Bob Gardner; Speak Up committee, Jim Carpenter. Ttie Auxiliary was organized soon after the men formed their club and Mrs. Duane Reid was the first president. This year the president is Mrs. Ralph Kirk and the women, in addition to assisting the Jaycees in their projects whenever needed, plan to hold a wig show this fall, and they are contemplating a baby sitting clinic for junior high school girls. On a district level they are encouraging saving Betty Crocker coupons to purchase a kidney machine. They sponsored the Girl Scouts on a Field Trip to the Kalamazoo Nature Center and have a very active program in the planning for this year. The Auxiliary is made up of 20 young women and they are hoping to increase the membership this fall. They meet the fourth Wednesday of each month in the homes of the members and in addition the officers meet the second Wednesday of the month. Working with the president this year will be : Vice president, Mrs. Jerry Johnson; treasurer, Mrs. Robert Gardner; secretary, Mrs. Larry Filter, and director, Mrs. Marvin Laurie. The president will be appointing another director to replace Mrs. Jim Erwin who is moving to Louisiana. Correction noted An incorrect figure was reported in a recent story regarding the balance in the Lakeview Cemetery treasury fund. The account actually has a balance of $3,184. 62 in the treasury. The figure listed (incorrectly) was $1,184. 62. A report of the Lakeview Cemetery Board, pre­ pared by the new treasurer. Will Suntken, was read at the last Village Council meeting. The Ceme­ tery Board is under the jurisdiction of the Council but works as an independent unit. We regret the error. �backstreet barometer by john boughton This is the vacation issue of the News. It was prepared and printed a week in advance so that e veryone here could take a week off. For this reason it is somewhat smaller than other issues of ' the paper, and of course, our deadline for news and advertising was last week. So while you are reading this, we, the Boughtons will be vacation­ ing somewhere. A vacation is good for the soul, or or at least that is what they tell me. It gives one a chance to rest and relax. When you own a small newspaper, you work twice as hard the week before vacation getting ready to go, you jump in a car dog tirea and rush to get to someplace, spend a week listening to the kids complain because nothing happens where you are vacationing. Generally it rains for that week. You then get in the car, beat your brains out in an effort to get back home and work like a goat trying to catch up for the week you have taken off. Tnis is known as a relaxing vacation and something that everyone should have to get him through the rest of the year. This is what we are on. About the time you are reading this the kids are complaining that tnere is nothing to do, excepting, of course, swim, relax, eat, read, play golf. Mother and dad will be getting on each other's nerves. Everyone will be having a wonderful vacation. Then we will come back and work like government mules trying to make up for the lost time. - The other day the Goodyear Blimp flew over Lansing and I watched it going over. It couldn't have been at an altitude of more than a thousand feet. But, of course, blimps don't go an awful lot more than a thousand feet up anyway. It is a pretty and a rather majestic thiig and it reminded me of the days when these lighter than air ships were not so uncommon. I can remember looking up and watching the USS Los Angeles flying over Detroit. I was also remin.'ed of the time during the war when I was stationed on an island with a total per­ sonnel of about one hundred. They flew a Navy submarine spotting blimp out to our island one day and attempted to land. The landing technique for the thing was to drop lines which a ground crew would grab on to and hold to stop the forward motion of the blimp. The ground crew would then hand­ over-band the lines to pull the blimp to the ground. The sheer weight of the crew acted as an anchor for the machine. This blimp came in and made a pass with the lines dragging. But the dam thing was going about thirty miles an hour and most of us could not hang on to the lines, so the commander of the ship decided to qjake another pass at it. As he took off to make the swing at another pass we looked up and noticed one man, little Lyle from Oklahoma, clinging des­ perately to a line a hundred and fifty to two hundred feet from the ground. All of us in the ground crew set up a holler and yell, waved our arms and pointed and the commander of the blimp, realizing that so something must be wrong to generate such activity from a bunch of GI's, looked down and saw Lyle dangling dangerously from the .gondola.. I think the commander's original idea was to go up to an ordin­ ary altitude, swing around and make another pass at the landing, but he realized his new passenger could not hold on for this length of time so he immed lately turned and dipped down. When he was some ten or twelve feet from the ground Lyle turned loose of the line and was sent sprawling and rolling in the lush jungle underbrush. He came up with nothing but scratches and a lost pair of 35 cent sun glasses. The commander of the blimp though, after we had pulled him to earth, shook and showed signs of shock Though the Indians with their colorful outfits were the willing subjects for photographers at the Indian Pow Wow, they too had their cameras and did some picture-taking of their own. Here are three busily engaged in loading their cameras. --Photo by John Boughton Locals Mrs. Willard Myers of Nashville attended a stork shower for her daughter-in-law, Mrs. David Myers in Lansing on Wednesday, August New Speed Queen Modern Portable Laundry...

E-3 Harold Lynn Hubka, 21, son of Mr. and Mrs. Willard Hubka, Route 3, Nashville has been awarded the Bronze Star Medal for heroism. Pfc Hubka is in B Troop, 3rd Sqdn, 4th Cav. 25th Inf. Division as a tank driver. The Award reads: For heroism in connection with military opera­ tions (Vietnam) against a hostile force: Private First Class Hubka distinguished himself by heroic actions on June 9, 1969 while serving as a tank driver with B Troop. While on a reconnaissance in force mission, B Troop came in contact with a large enemy force. As Private Hubka's tank began firing, a defective round became stuck in the chamber of the main gun. With complete disregard for his own safety, Pvt. Hubka exposed himself to the deadly hail of hostile fire as he.secured a ramming rod and moved to the front of the vehicle to dislodge the bad round. His valorous actions contributed immeasurably to the success of the mission and the defeat of the hostile force. Private Hubka's bravery and devotion to duty are in keeping with die highest traditions of the mil­ itary service and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, the 25th Infantry Division and the United States Army. He was awarded the First Oak Leaf Cluster when B Troop came in contact with jnemy force. Hubka maneuvered his tank in an assault of the hostile po­ sitions. His vehicle was stuck by several rocket pro­ pelled grenades, which wounded the tank command­ er. Immediately, Private Hubka assumed command and began to place devastating fire on the hostile positions. Private Hubka continued to place effec­ tive fire on the aggressors until he was seriously wounded. His valorous actions contributed immeas­ urably to the success of the mission.

Editor; A considerable amount of inquiries into the work­ ings of the Barry County Sheriff's Posse prompts us to issue a statement. Eight yean ago when the Federal Government be­ gan pushing for an active program of national civil defense, a group of Barry County men formed an or­ ganization to provide general assistance to the coun­ ty's civil defense leader and local law enforcement agencies. The self-supporting organization has increased its membership over the years, and now comprises a team of 20 "Barry County Sheriff's Possemen." Ready to provide volunteer service to any part of the county in a minute's notice, the team is fully trained in all phases of law enforcement with ad­ ditional training provided periodically. Recognized by the State of Michigan as deputized members of the Barry County Sheriff’s department, each member is financially responsible for all his equipment... uniforms... and either has access to or owns a horse. Although organized under the name of the "Barry County Sheriff's Posse, " the group is completely detached from the operations of the Sheriff's department. The Posse, one of 25 such organizations in Mich­ igan , when not furnishing volunteer service to the area, can be found working at Johnson Field in Has­ tings, during football season... the high school gym during basketball season... the fairgrounds during the Barry County Fair... parking cars at the Steam Rodeo... or providing service to private organiza­ tions. , In the past, the Posse has sponsored chicken bar­ becues. .. horse shows... and participated with a float in the 1967 and 1968 Hastings Christmas Pa­ rade, and each year provides a marching unit for the Memorial Day parade in Hastings. Annually they treat posse member-families to a camp-out and Christmas party, among other inter­ S activities including the annual Michigan :fs Posse pony express ride. Sincerely, Barry County Sheriff’s Posse Hastings School Board adopts adult diploma policy Hastings Public Schools will offer adult classes to­ wards high school completion starting during the first weexs in September. Hopefully more than twelve different subjects will be made available to the adults. The school board recently adopted an adult diploma policy. This policy enables adults to use work experience, mili­ tary service, and G. E, D. test results as credits to­ wards a regular high school diploma. The classes are free to adults regardless of where they live. Each class will meet one night a week for fifteen weeks. These classes will be a co-opera­ tive effort with the Lakewood Community Schools.

BabCOCk’S gulf service Nashville Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, August 21, 1969 852-9058 �e Annual Irving Charlton. The permanent exhibit of native Michigan Indian artifacts has been enhanced with a new exhibit case, constructed special to hold one of the museum's dugout canoes and a rare Indian shirt of buckskin decorated with porcupine quills and beads. This shirt if probably the finest exam­ ple of Indian clothing the museum possesses; in fact, it would be an outstanding piece in any mu­ seum's collection. The shirt •------'-----------*-----over the ca noe with the _____________________ ‘ S sides of the canoe gives a real three dimensional aspect to the exhibit, making it easy to visualize a proud Chip­ pewa brave silently moving through the waters of Michigan riven and lakes. The crowning touch to complete the picture is the headdress suspended a­ bove all, just awaiting an owner to slip into it for a ceremonial dance or conclave. Besides these items from Indians common to Mich­ igan area just one hundred and fifty yean ago, there are several smaller exhibits about Indians from other pasrt of the Americas. One exhibit en­ titled "South of the Border" includes many exam­ ples of pottery, copper tools, idols and religious effigies. Another about Alaskan Eskimos and other Indians of that area includes many bone and wal­ rus iyory tools, a seal oil lamp made of stone, and a pair of Eskimo sunglasses carved from bone. Be­ sides these items from the collection, the director loaned several objects he obtained while teaching in Alaska: A seal harpoon, a model of an Indian hunter in his kayak plus a painting of a dog sled team racing across the Arctic wastes. The other two special exhibits are about Indians of the Westem Plains and those of the North American desens and mountains. These feature Hopi (Pueblo), Arap­ aho and Blackfeet of the Algonquins, Apache of the Athapascans, Sioux from the Dakotas, andNavabo among other tribes. Pipes, pottery, moccasins, bead work, two sad­ dles - one a fancy beaded riding saddle and the other a wodden pack saddle, ceremonial dance mask and medicine doll, canteen and baskets are SO.

The September date will be announced later. One Mill for 5 yean will raise $600,000.00. This will not solve every building need Barry County fa­ ces, but it WILL allow the creation of a building fund to finance the following minumum facility needs: — . A lagoon system will eliminate the sewage prob­ lem at the Barry County Medical Care'Faculty. This must be constructed immediately to eliminate an over-flowing sewer system which now is contaminat­ ing the Thornapple River. -- A lock-up will furnish the needed facilities to eliminate much of the cost­ ly inconvenience to Barry County taxpayea in trans­ porting prisoners to Eaton County. Consider how these dollars could be more profitably spent for patrolling and law enforcement activities right here in our county! Consider too, that Michigan Act No. 93 states that Barry County must provide at least a min­ imum "lock-up" to comply with the State law. — A County office complex to house administrative offices for all county agencies needing more space, including Social Services, whose needs have been publicized for some time. The millage proposition reads as follows: * Shall the limitation on rhe total amount of taxes which may be assessed against all property in the county of Barry be increased by one mill on each dollar ($1.00 on each $1, 000) of the assessed valu­ ation, as equalized of all property in said county for a period of 5 years from 1969 to 1973, both inclus­ ive, for the purpose of providing funds for needed county buildings and equipment.

"MORE CURBS POSSIBLE" Cigarette advertising and the regulation of it has been the concern of Congress and the Federal govern­ ment—up to now. But a member of the Michigan Senate says he is going to attempt to impose a partial ban on the a d vert&ing of cigarettes in Michigan when the legisla­ ture convenes again next January. William Faust, a non-smoking Democrat from Westland, notified his fellow senators of his inten­ tions during a recent Senate debate or a bill to out­ law advertising indicating discrimination in the sale or exchange of real estate. Faust proposed an amendment to the bill to re­ quire cigarette advertising to describe the "harmful effects of smoking" as well as urging customers to purchase the particular brand being advertised. The proposal received instant support from another non-smoking senator, Anthony Stamm, a Republican from Kalamazoo, who said it was a "progressivestep." But the manager of the bill being considered, Cole­ man Young, a Democrat from Detroit who does smoke, told Faust to leave his bill alone. Young told Faust he didn't want to lose the bill because of the a­ mendment and told him to wait until next January. .Immediately, Faust withdrew his proposal, saying, "I didn't want it to come to a vote yet, so I withdrew it. " But the Westland lawmaker said, "I am serious, though, and this serves notice on everyone that next January I will sponsor a bill." The proposal to have such advertising tell the "harmful effects" of smoking would be an effort to comply with federal regulations, he said. In that way, the media wouldn't be deprived of freedom of speech, but no positive advertising would take place, he said. If Faust is successful in his attempt, Michigan would be the first state to impose restrictions on the advertising of cigarettes, a subject which has receiv­ ed much attention from Congress and several regula­ tory agencies up to now. At present, the only restriction on the sale or ad­ vertising of cigarettes is a requirement that each pack sold in the United States include the statement: "Caution, Cigarette Smoking May Be Hazardous to Your Health. * The Federal Communications Commission has rul­ ed that broadcast stations which air cigarette adver­ tising must also give time to anti-smoking commer­ cials sponsored by the American Cancer Society and other national health groups. • Other proposals include such extreme measures as a complete nan on cigarette advertising, a step which has been taken in several European countries. The National Association of Broadcasters' Televis­ ion Code Review Board recently made a voluntary re­ commendation that all cigarette ads be eliminated from television by Sept. 1, 1973. The board also re­ commended prohibiting cigarette commercials in or adjacent to any program primarily directed to young audiences. A gradual phaseout of the advertising to being next January was included in the recommendation. "UNSOLICITED GOODS" Michigandea who have been' unsure of how to han­ dle unsolicited goods they receive by mail now have some guidance in the matter from the state's la w books. Gov. William G. Milliken recently signed into law a measure providing that unsolicited goods which come in the mail will be considered unconditional gifts from now on. The law says the recipient may either refuse to accept delivery, may refuse to accept any obligation for returning them or may dispose of them any way he wants to.

They are Eugene Lingholm and Douglas Lingholm, both of the Boy Scouts, Frank Scramlln, secretary-treasurer of Maple Syrup Association, Harold Christiansen, Village presi­ dent, Earl Hose, Lions and Rev. James G. Crosby, United Methodist Church. --Photo by Gladys Richardson Last spring when the Nashville municipal maple syrup making project started various organizations pitched in to help. They were credited with "hours" and the payoff came last week when the checks were handed out to seven groups. The largest check went to the United Methodist Church and was for $917. 28. Other groups receiving checks were the Boy Scouts, $717. 08; the Volunteer Firemen, $646. 29; Lions Club, $586. 56; BandBoost­ ers, $399. 36; Girl Scouts, $149. 76 and the Brown­ ies, $99. 88. Another $706.14 will be used to pu. chase maple trees to replace some within the village that have had to be cut down. In all, the checks totaled $4,218.15. The trees were upped on February 22, and the buckets were pulled April 8, after nearly 800 gallons of syrup were processed. The Nashville Maple Syrup Association, headed by Harold Christiansen as president, and the other officers are indeed grateful for the cooperation of the various organizations, and also to the merchants who gratefully sold the syrup at their places of bus­ iness.

They won tne league championship tro?hy made up of teams from, Portland (two), Sunield, Lake Odessa, Nashville, Woodland and Ver­ montville and also the tournament trophy in this league; they won the runner-up district trophy sponspon­ sored by the American Legion of Vermontville, and the runner-up trophy in the Saranac invitational tournament. The team is made up of boys 16 years of age and under. The boys traveled a distance <jf 1,067 miles this summer and their schedule included teams as far a­ way as Schoolcraft, Bronson and (believe it or not) Wa Wa, Canada. The team has been largely self-supported. They also earned money for their trip to Canada in June by having candy sales, a booth at the maple syrup festival, had a concession stand and took up free­ will offerings at the league tournament games, and conducted a "parking lot” during the festivaLSome of their equipment has been merchant-sponsored. For their trip into Canada the boys had to earn their own money. Their trip to Canada was an out­ standing event for the youngsters, and this is the way they tell it: "At 1:00 p. m. on June 27, with 12 boy's and six grownups, we left Vermontville for a ten-day trip to White River, Canada, with two pickup trucks, a station wagon and one van. "We camped Friday night at Foley Creek Camp Grounds in three tents. Next day we were in White River at 1:00 p. m. ready to fly to Dannie Lake, a­ bout a 15-mile ride. It took four airplanes to fly all our food and group to the lake. There we found two tents and we set up three more. We had three big boats and eight canoes. Fishing was real good. Doug Newton was the winner of a new rod and reel for catching the biggest fish. Ernie Jensen caught the most fish. "We had Eaton County’s best cook with us on the trip, Mrs. Millie Martin. We had fish several times, along with lots of other good food. "On Saturday, July 5, we left the lake in three big planes. At 6:00 p. m. we played baseball with the Wa Wa baseball team and beat them. Later (hat night we camped at Foley Creek again on our way home. "The ulk of the trip was seeing moose, beaver, bear tracks, and the big fish that got away. "We appreciate the cooperation of all, especially LeRoy Wion, Paul Shipman. Ray Beebe, and Mrs. Martin for making this trip such a nice one. " backstreet barometer One of tiie nicest things about a vacation is com­ ing back home again. Our week spent relaxing was wonderful but it is a relief to get back home again. The only problem is that when you are away from home you can kinda forget all tne things you have to do at home, but when you get back they are looking you right in the face. Our vacation took us toPort Sanilac where the entire family relaxed; read "Airport”, ate, swam and walked along the beach. Oh yes, we also baby­ sat a dog. We got so taken up in our relaxing that I didn't even take time out to play golf. I had in­ tended to play at least nine holes a day, but just never got to it. Now we are home and back in the routine of things. After this paper is out we will go back to vacationing for the remainder of the week. I saw June Decker on her Honda the other day and gave her a bad time about women drivers... even on motorbikes. June invited me to jump on and go for a ride with her... an invitation I refused. As I told June, I wouldn't even drive one myself, much less go for a ride with someone else driving. June then told me that not all residents of our village are that chicken. She said Sunday she was riding down the street when she saw Jerry Kent, running like mad. It turned out he was in a rush to get the ambulance to answer a calL Jerry jumped on the' back of the bike and June delivered him to the garage in noth­ ing flat. Mark up one good deed for June and never call Jerry chicken. MR. FARMER GOOD CERTIFIED SEED WHEAT Will be in Short Supply this fall so we strongly advise you to Order Early.

Cachran, Charletta The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, August 28, 1969 �Council approves Charlton operation The Nashville village council went on record, at the Thursday night meeting, as approving the way the reorganized Charlton Park Board is operating the park and museum. The clerk, Mrs. Ada Skedgell was advised to send a letter to the board com­ mending them on their policies. A report was read from Putnam Public Library which listed the business transactions over the year. Included were the new books purchased, improve­ ments and repaits made on the building, including installation of new carpeting, and other items on the financial standing of the various library funds. Committee members from the water, sewer and street departments scheduled a meeting for Mon­ day evening. August 18, to hire someone to take over the position as superintendent of public works being vacated by Jim Erwin. Erwin tendered his resignation to accept a teaching position at Lake Providence, Louisiana. The council will ask for bids oh a new police cruiser in October when the 1970 models will be a­ vailable. Nashville’s attorney, Paul Seigel of Hastings, will be asked for a ruling on the procedure con­ cerning village-owned property where the fire bam is located. Tne village owns this property, and Castleton Township owns the property adjacent on the north where the ambulance is housed. A new building to house both units is to be constructed on the two lots. Therefore, the property should belong to one governmental body. The dam across Thornappie River back of the Citizen's Elevator is in need of repairs. While this is not the responsibility of the village, still they ate concerned, as the dam is important to the com­ munity. It is hoped a solution will be forthcoming. Other items on the agenda included the passing of the bills, report of the police department and and other routine matters. The police cruiser travel­ ed 2, 642 miles and 345.1 gallons of gasoline were consumed. A breaking and entering of a residence, and a business place were reported, several minor complaints answered, and a number of moving and non-moving traffic violations were reported.

State officials to attend Barry County gathering A farm owned by Hugh and Violet Feighner of Thornapple Lake Road, Route 1, Nashville, has been designated as a Centennial Farm by the Michigan Historical Commission. The farm, located in Castleton Township, Barry County, has been in the possession of the family since 1853. It was originally purchased August 16, 1853 by George Feighner, great grandfather of the present owner, from Archelaus Greene. . According to Secretary of State James M. Hare, whose department directs the activities of the His­ torical Commission, the Centennial Farm program in Michigan was established in 1948. Since that time, certificates and metal markers have been a­ warded to more than 2, 500 Michigan farms. The program is administered under the direction of the Commission while markers are provided by Detroit Edison and Consumes Power Companies. According to Hare, a Centennial Farm is one which has been in the continuous possession of the same family for 100 years or more. For this p urpose, the Historical Commission considers a farm to be 10 or more acres having estimated sales of more than $50 yearly, or less than 10 acres but hav­ ing estimated sales of $250 annually. Persons owning farms who wish to apply for Cen- ■ tennial Farm certificates are asked to write for an application to Centennial Farm Program, Michigan Historical Commission, Department of State, Lan­ sing, Mich. 48918, 1 , Saturday, September 13 will climax a summer long fund raising project by local Republicans.

Corbin, US363-50-9044, Company A 13, Bn 4th Tng Bde, Fort Knox, Ky, 40121, 2nd Platoon. Navy Lieutenant (junior grade) Robert K. Moore, son of Mr. and Mrs. K. R. Moore of 5691 Carlton Road, Woodland, became a member of the Navy's "Flattop Fraternity" by completing six attested air­ craft carrier landings aboard the USS independence in the Gulf of Mexico. The "Flattop Fraternity” are those pilots who have been qualified to land an aircraft on an aircraft car­ rier. As a student aviator he practiced on simulated carrier landing strips on the ground. With the com­ pletion of his six carrier landings he has been Car­ rier Qualified. Hastings Elks Club provides assistance Nine years ago last June, when Joseph Nathan Williams was seven years of age, and was eagerly awaiting school that fall, he fell from a mule. He struck his head in the mishap and underwent serious surgery in a hospitaL The accident left Joseph to­ tally blind. None the less he did enter, the Tanner School that fall, and the following year was enrolled at the Ann J. Kellogg School in Battle Creek. He learned to type when he was a fourth grader and continues to hand in bis work carefully typewritten. He com­ pleted the sixth grade at Ann J. Kellogg School. His seventh and eighth grade classes were at-Northwest­ ern Junior High in Battle Creek, and he took his freshman work at the W. K. Kellogg School there. This fall he will enter Central in Battle Creek as a sophomore. Joseph is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Nathan Wil­ liams, St. of Quimby Road, Route 2, Hastings. He is one of eight children at home, and he has a half­ sister who is married. Joe is raising a heifer completely by himself. He has a riding horse named "Queen" and of his horse Joe says “Queen seems to know I can't see, and she always takes me along the edge of the highway, nev­ er out in the road. She is a sorrel with a-white face, and silver mane and taiL “ Joe would like to join a 4-H club, and perhaps someday be shall This summer a new and wonderful experience came to this blind boy. The Hastings Elks learned of his condition and went to the Williams home to offer assistance. Was there something they could do for Joe? There was. Joe would like a leader dog. Immediately Elton Sanderson, head of Major Proj­ ects, contacted the Michigan Elks Association, and on June 15 Joe was enrolled at the Leader Dog School at Rochester. He was at the school for four weeks, during which time he learned to travel confidently with his 12-month old German shepherd dog, "Black­ ie. * Intensive training sessions were held daily, and practice was conducted both in Rochester, a small city, and in Royal Oak, a comparatively larger city. The actual obtaining and taking commancf of "Blackie", a graduate leader dog was an exciting experience for Joseph. There were more than four hours of street training daily. The instructor ac­ companied the team on the-first few walks, then left them to find their way on a memorized route through Rochester and Royal Oak. The instructor, of course, was available if the student became confus­ ed or lost. They took trips through various depart­ ment stores ana other places of interest. "Blackie," Joseph's new companion, was contrib­ uted to the school by a friend of the organization, and she spent ten days in quarantine before going into actual training. After six weeks of obedience and basic training, came six weeks of training to recognize such hazardous conditions as moving traf­ fic, pedestrians, curbs, low hanging branches, awn­ ings, puddles, and everything that may be danger­ ous to the student. Joseph discovered that using a Leader Dog requires only the ordinary application erf common sense. Jo­ seph must know where he is going and he directs ' Blackie to the destination with commands such as forward — right—left. It is "Blackie's" job to guide Joseph safely over the terrain from starting point to destination. It will take four to five months of "seasoning" be­ fore Joseph can entirely eliminate minor problems and distractions that might occur. "Blackie" is a friendly dog and safe among people, but the public is reminded nor to interfere while the dog is work­ ing for it distracts the Leader Dog. While "Blackie" has an important job when she is traveling, in the home a Leader Dog lives like any other pet, having time to romp and play. There is no charge for Leader Dog training, though the unit cost per student is approximately While Joe is attending school this.fall in Battle Creek, "Blackie" will remain at home, but during off-school hours the new-found companionship will be a warm and rewarding one for both the blind boy and his Leader Dog. �Locals Council Proceedings July 24, 1969 ' The regular meeting Of theVitlige Council Was called to order by president Christiansen with a 11 present except Service.

September 4, 1969 OR more anytime - �Michigan Mirror Nashville Council discusses village water problems BY ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC Not too long a;>>. the topic of education was a somewhat dull one to throw into a conversation. Most persons accepted it as a necessity for their children; viewed school teachers as being a little bit smarter than themselves and rather milk-toast type individuals. Schools taught the "three r's, " and their operation was totally a local thing. But in just a few years, the entire field changed so that it would appear strange to someone suddenly thrust into today's educational picture from the one existing" 10 or 15 yean ago.lets have proven they can be decidedly non Teaci_____ , milk-toast types who will go on strike if they think C" -----------------------ofr Education ---- -■— it's necessary' The-------state-X.

This fall, the Leeislaiiture will take its most con­ Lawmakers will centrated look yet into education. i convene October 6 and "for one week will deal with business left from the session which adjourned in July. But from October 13 on, the only subject up for discussion will be education. And a great deal of the discussion of education will deal with the fin-, ancing of it. Property owners have grown more and more dis­ satisfied in recent years over the property tax loads they carry. The state, in an effort to alleviate this load, has entered more and more into the financing of education. For the current fiscal year, the state is pumping $800 million back to local school districts to help them pay their,bills. And the districts say that still isn't enough. When the session begins, the lawmakers will receive a set of recommendations from Gov. William G. Milliken. The recommendations are being drawn up now by the Governor, who is work­ ing with his staff and with a Commission on Educa­ tional Reform which he appointed to examine Michigan's total education picture. The commission recently finished a series of three public hearings in which it took testimony from more more than 120 persons. It has been digesting this information and attempting to distill it into a program which the Governor can agree with. Two issues seemed to pop up the most in the three hearings: property tax relief and state aid to parochial schools. Tax relief proposals ranged from mild reform of the property tax to outright abolition. Whatever he decides, the Governor will have to include recommendations in this area in his message to> the the Legislature. Most observers now are betting, oni an increase in the sute income tax to provide C_ the added income needed. 'Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee Harry De Maso, however, is conducting a study into tax loopholes which exist and says he could raise the money needed merely by closing loopholes. The lawmakers are sure to give quite a bit of attention to a proposal which could Increase rev­ enues while leaving existing tax rates as they are, Parochiaid generated a great deal of heat during the recently completed session and is sure to create more this fall and winter. ' Parochial schools have been hit hard by rising costs and are, in some areas, in danger of being forced to close. Parochial school backers see state aid to private schools as the "Promised Land* which can save their schools. They say it actually is cheaper for the state to help parochial schools because if the Opponents view with alarm any thought of pro­ viding state aid to parochial schools. The most frequent argument is that it constitutes a violation of the principle of separation of church and state. It is not a dull topic anymore. There is also much concern about where the parochiaid road could lead us. Since "religious4 groups are difficult to define, it is possible that many sects, racial or even crackpot groups .could spring up to demand funds under any aid law which might be passed. Then there are those who oppose parochiaid ‘ because of their conviction that the state should accept the direct responsibility to educate all its children. Parochiaid backets lost their attempt to begin state aid to parochial schools last spring in the Legislature, but they have promised to renew it. That in itself should insure more heated debate in the Legislature.

Village dump hours The hours that the village dump is open are; Wednesdays 4 pm to 6 pm Saturdays 9 am to 3 pm Provide safety aids The swimming beach at Charlton Park is a bit safer now due to the addition of a minimum life­ saving station. On the beach is a new post with an "Emergency Use Only" sign. Hanging on the frontof the post is an inflated inner tube donated by Courthouse Gulf and painted a bright orange. A ttached to it is a long rope whose other end js secur­ ed to the post. In the event of trouble in the water, the tube may be thrown or carried out to victim and pulled back in from shore. A weak swimmer may use it to paddle out to someone in the water without the risk to himself of trying to swim out and pull the victim back to shore. Also attached to the post for quick use is a long wooden pole with.a rope loop at one pnd. This pole may be used to reach out to someone in the water to offer help without the would-be rescuer going out to the victim himself and thus risk being pull­ ed under by the victim. Like the tube, the pole is painted bright orange. The park authorities hope the station will never need to be used, but want to have it available if ever needed. This season of year seems to bring more people to the park to swim than for any other reason, par­ ticularly in late afternoon. However, a few have been seen swimming after dark. This is a very dan­ gerous practice which, though not officially against park rules, is to be discouraged. It is about as dangerous as swimming alone which is also to be discouraged. You are invited to enjoy yourself with a swim, a picnic or a tour of the museum at Charlton Park, but please bring at least one friend and come before dark, if you plan to swim. • FORD MOTOR CO. • HENRY FORD MUSEUM • GREENFIELD VILLAGE 109 inviting rooms with, all the comforts and conveniences. only 18 minutes from downtown Detroit via 1-75__ Excellent dining, lounge and meet — ing space smorgasbord every Thursday and Sunday evenings Swimming pool 5%Micliloan National Bank Ml I® Tala. 313/283-2200 Junction 1-75 & Eureka Road 18 minutes southwest of downtown Datroit Taylor Township, Mich 48180.

The aides will assist the teachers in the early elementary grades where there is a heavy enrollment. ” The railroad crossings in Nashville, esp Reed Street crossing, continue to dog the school bus drivers because of” the street ___ of the layout . ’ : as it cross­ es the track at an "S" angle. Since 1963 various meetings have been held'with the Pennsylvania Rail­ road Company, the village officials and school. Some corrections have been made. A flashing light at the Reed Street crossing would solve some of the prob­ lems, but it appears the cost would be prohibitive. The school board and administration expect to meet with the village council Thursday evening, Septem­ ber 18, to review the problem. Another meeting with the Public Service Commission is anticipated. To encourage a closer relationship of school admin­ istrators, teachers, other building representatives and board members, monthly breakfasts are being plan­ ned with the first one to be held in the high school cafeteria Thursday, October 2, at 7:15 a. m./These meetings will last one hour, but will give the school personnel a chance to talk over matters which con­ cern them.

The bus garage, located in Nashville, wass built some 25 years ago. The board gave Its approval for the groundwork of coordinating a community program offering adult classes, thus making better use of school facilities throughout the year. Present enrollment figures show there are 1, 905 students enrolled in the Maple Valley district, 833 in the junior-senior high school building. Last year the figure was 1, 853. These figures could easily vary somewhat before the official enrollment is ta­ ken in October. ' Detailed reports were given by Mrs. Iva Reed on the Maplewood elementary building in Vermont­ ville, Howard Yost on the Fuller Street and Kellogg buildings id Nashville and Jim Wynes on the junior-: senior building. Each gave praise to the custodial department for the excellent condition of the build­ ings. Some additional furniture could be added in the elementary buildings, along with some play­ ground equipment. The hot lunch program is not at­ tracting too many students at the present time, but this is expected to change when colder weather ar­ rives. Some problems with mini bikes were reported. The bus drivers will discuss bus rules and procedures with the younger children before the week is over, and fire drills are on the agenda. On Thursday, September 11, will occur the first Fuller Street Parent-Teacher meeting when the par- Maple Valley football roster for 1969-1970 The coaches for Maple Valley for the 1969-70 season are: Vanity Head Coach, Larry Lenz; assist­ ant, Greg Hoefler; Junior Varsity Coach (Head),Rog­ er Steward and assistant, John Hughes. The Fresh­ man Head Coach is Ivan Sheets and the assistant is Ron Rosin. On the football team the Co-Captains for the Varsity are Larry Winegar and Mike Kenyon, seniors Returning letterman, eight in all are Winegar, Ken­ yon, Ray Garvey, Steve Priddy, Ralph Myers, Steve Cates, Dan Dipert and Harold Carpenter.

Special education forms for the past year's opera­ tion have been filed with Eaton County office. Be­ cause of a lower allowance in state aid appropria­ tion in Special Education last year, the type "A" room cost of operation will not be completely cov­ ered by state and county reimbursements. Forms on the remedial reading program for last year have been filed as well as the annual statistical report. Transportation forms for regular transporta­ tion and special forms for the special education chil­ dren transported by car to Charlotte have also been completed. Last week Thursday morning a car driven by Ran­ dy Hummel ran into one of the new school busses on Nashville Highway. The bus driver, Floyd Shilton, was stopped and had just loaded the children on his bus. Fortunately no one was injured in the accident. The bus was damaged in the area near the left rear wheels, but the damage was slight in comparison to the car. The football teams scrimmaged at Delton Sat­ urday night, September 6. The opening varsity foot­ ball game will oe played on the Nashville field Fri­ day night, September 12, with Lakewood. September 24 and 25 the State Conference for school board members and superintendents will be held in Detroit. Supt. Carroll Wolff plans to attend. New lockers were installed in the junior-senior building in time for the opening of schooL With the addition this means only two students to a locker, in­ stead of three. At the Kellogg building the students are eating lunch this year in the gymnasium. The serving line is set up on the stage wnich makes some problems with the children having to go up and down the suits with the food. Also, there is' no possibility of having a heating unit on the suge to help keep the food warm. A glass protector (sneeze bar) protects the food. The school is checking on better contain­ ers to transport the food in to keep it warmer. The board voted to purchase drapes to control the light in some of the rooms at the Fuller Street Ele­ mentary building on the south side of the north wing. The area to be covered will be the glass blocks. The teachers prefer the drapes instead ofpaint ing the blocks, because at times they desire this additional light in the rooms when they are no( using the audio visual equipment. The cost will be $450 tor the dra­ peries. Mr. Wynes discussed briefly the athletic budget and account as well as possible athletic scheduling in the future. Mr. Wynes has been named Athletic Director for the year. In other business the board approved the transfer of the September 5 payroll to the payroll account in the amount of $35,786. 68 and approved the bills in the amount of $10, 515.22.

The supper will be held in the Maple Valley High School cafeteria, Saturday, September 13, at 7:00 p. m. Mr. Vogt points out that the meeting is for the entire community and everyone is invited to at­ tend. He pointed out that since tlie disposition of the money from the centennial is of interest to the entire community, he hopes to have a good turnout for the meeting Committee members have asked that each f a m ily bring two dishes to pass and table service. Cof­ fee and soft drinks will be furnished. Awards will be presented to organizations and in­ dividuals who in the opinion of the committee have done an outstanding job in helping to promote and organize the centennial celebration. Plaques will be presented in recognition of this outstanding ser­ vice. In addition to plaques, individualswill also be awarded a centennial souvenir fifty cefi't piece. Since only 250 of these coins were minted they should become collector's items. Over 200 feet of motion picture film of the cen­ tennial activities, including the parade will b e shown at the meeting. The Centennial Secretary, Mrs. Geneve Brumm will give a report on the centennial operations. Immediately after the presentation of awards and the other business of the meeting, the floor will be cleared and there will be dancing to the music of Red Raber.

David took them through the Navy base where he finished his service and as they were having open house on the ship, Guam, the Reids enjoyed a tour of the ship.

Vem Marshall, Jim Knoll and son Doug check the airplane which made a surprise visit to the Marshall farm last week. —Photo by John Boughton backstreet barometer WHAT A HECK OF A WAY TO FLY AN AIRPLANE DEPARTMENT. Vem Marshall was quite shocked the other day to have a surprise visit from people out of the sky. It wasn't a UFO but for a while Vem Idnda thought it might be. Vem was sitting in his house when he heard a plane which sounded dam close. Just then he look­ ed out his window and saw the plane only a hundred or so feet off the ground. He ran out in the back yard and watched the pilot of the airplane swing out over his woods, turn and head in for a landing in the field directly behind the Marshall hiuse. The pilot did a fine job of sitting down.

I hope there is a good turnout for this final bit of business for the Centennial Committee. We should all attend, pot just for all the good food and the good time, but to let the committee know that we appreciate what they have done for the village. Our Centennial Celebration was a success because the people on the cominittee worked hard and for long hours to insure success. So lets all get out to the potluck for plenty of good food, some enter­ tainment, including a dance and to let the commit­ tee know that we appreciate all the work they have done on the celebration.

This most be Belgium MtMTHURlylktae I STRAND The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, DETROIT — One Michigan creature that can afford to be completely free of concern about his color is the snowshoe hare, points out Dr. William Prychodko, of Wayne State University’s biology depart­ ment. The Cieator made Sammy Snowshoe both dark and light alternately, and it suits his needs perfectly. The white he wears in winter and the brown he puts on in summer both protect him from his enemies. Although thousands of these hares are killed each year in Michigan, surprisingly little is known of the life and habits of this sly, secretive animal whose big white winter feet gave him his common name, says the Wayne mammalogist. As in the case of several other northern mammals, the hair covering the body of this animal is longer in winter than in summer. Thus his foot cover­ ing is not only different in color but in size. Snowshoes, like western "jack rabbits," are true hares. They differ from rabbits in building no nests to receive their litters of young, points out Dr. Prychodko. Their youngsters are born fully furred with their eyes open, Soon they are able to _____ move about. The average showshoe litter is three, much smaller Thursday, September 11, 1969 than the average cottontail lit­ ter of blind and naked babies. The snowshoe is found in fair abundance throughout the upper two-thirds of the State, shown in grey on the map. Un­ like the cottontail rabb't, which prefers bushy fence rows, abandoned fields and other farm-type cover, the snowshoe prefers dense conifer swamps and thickets. Often he ranges the same area as the white­ tailed deer. Recently conservation offi­ cials began bringing him into certain areas of the (Southern Lower Peninsula where they felt the habitat was suitable for his survival. In 1966 trans­ planting efforts brought 49 Sammy and Susie Snowshoes into the Gratiot-Saginaw State Game Area where rabbits are protected from hunters. Twenty-nine snowshoes were brought to the same area last winter. It appears their off­ spring are having no serious problems in adjusting. Still unexplained are the snowshoes' periodic cycles of abundance and scarcity. The number of them shot by hunters has ranged from 356,000 in 1964 to a- recent low of 192,000 in 1967. Generally speaking, the hunting season for snowshoes dovetails with small game seasons in various areas of the State. �Club News NASHVILLE LITERARY CLUB Past Presidents of the Nashville Woman's Literary Club will be honored when the club meets for their fist fall meeting on Wednesday, September 17.

SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION CHOLERA RETURNS Hog cholera is a disease which is probabily unknown to most urban residents. Yet the dangers presented by it are so great that both the federal government and state governments across the country, including Michigan, are spending money to try and eradicate it once and for alt The disease has no effect itself on humans. Neither does it bother any animals other than hogs. But it is highly fatal to pigs and also is highly contagious. There is no cure tor it. , The danger it presents to both the rural economy and, in the long run, to the nation's pork supply, has prompted the joint state-federal effort to get rid of it. In Michigan, the state veterinarian's office had succeeded in securing a "hog cholera free” rating for the state. It appeared the state's swine industry might never have to worry about the disease again. Then a case of cholera was reported on the James Rentfrow farm near Jones July 12. Rentfrow bad a total herd of 1,800 hogs worth $61.000. ■ Since there is no cure for hog cholera and since it is so highly contagious, state law requires that all pigs on a farm on which it is discovered be slaught­ ered and buried on the farm. The law also provides that the state and federal government each will pay the farmer half of what the hogs killed are worth. Several days later, a farmer who was a good friend of Rentfrow discovered bog cholera in his swine herd and his 503 hogs Were killed, too. Officials had expected the cholera to show up on the second farm. ' They did not, however, expect it to hit a third farm in the area. This happened a month after the first farm was hit. The state veterinarian's office said the virus apparently was carried to the third farm by a vehicle which drove past the two farms but never entered either one. That's how contagious the disease is. The outbreak was traced to an area near West . Plains, Mo., a state which has not advanced as far as Michigan in its cholera eradication program. It remains to be seen, and it will be at least late in September before officials can be sure, whether the'outbreak has been stemmed in Michigan. And though they may not be aware of the fact, urban dwellers, in both the roles of taxpayer and of con­ sumer, have a stake in stopping it. / SMOKING UP Those frightening facts being uncovered about the dangers involved in smoking cigarettes apparently have little effect on Michigan smokers. The sure treasurer's office says cigarette taxes in Michigan brought in a record $81 million in tax revenues last year. That's nearly $10 per resident. And that averages about 150 packs per resident for the year. Tne increase was only a 1.19 percent increase over the previous year, however, while the state's population was estimated to have risen 1. 9 per cent last year. So it's possible there was a slight decline in the frequency of smoking. If the Legislature follows the lead of other states around the nation, it may become more expensive to smoke in Michigan. Of seven states which recently raised taxes, six raised the cigarette tax. Connecticut now has the highest tax in the country: a whopping 16 cents per pack, Michigan smokers pay the state 7 cents currently for each pack of cigarettes they smoke. Though the tax figures in the various states change rapidly, there are at least 33 states which tax cigarettes more heavily. And at least 20 states charge 10 cents a pack or more. After Connecticut's record high levy, Florida charges 15 cents and New Jeisey charges 14 cents per pack. WALKING DANGEROUS A little noted statistic in the breakdown of fatal automobile accidents in Michigan last year is the fact that nearly one third of the persons killed in urban areas were pedestrians. The State Police say 703 persons dies in urban traffic accidents and that 486 of these were non­ pedestrians with the remaining 217 on foot at the time of the accident. As expected, the percentage of those dying while on foot in rural areas is much less, but the total, 173, was almost as high as the number of urban pedestrians killed. This means a total of 390 of Michigan's traffic fatalities last year were persons who were on foot. Pedestrians are much the same as motorcycle riders when it comes to traffic accidents. If they are hit by a car or truck there is nothing to cushion the blow. Buick & Chevrolet 143S S.

Some discussion was held in regard to the need to re-zone Putnam Park from residential to recreation­ al. Money from the Centennial Celebration is to be used to improve Putnam Park. In order to obtain Fed­ eral funds to help along this project, the rezoning is a necessity.

Gierman of Portland, spoke at the Ea­ ton County Historical Society meeting Thursday eve­ ning, September 11 concerning the early Indians in Michigan. Six county localities were represented by the thir­ ty-one members and friends of the society who met in the Charlotte courthouse and attentively listened as Mr. Gierman told that there were only 10 thous­ and Indians in Michigan at the time the white man came and there were never more than 15 thousand here. At one time a bounty of from S60 to $134 was paid for an Indian's scalp. Chief Tecumseh fought the white man and tried to protect his land until 1837. ■ Chief Okemos fought for the British in the battle of Sanduskey in 1813. He was left for dead on the battlefield and his body carried many battle scars. That was his last fight; he pledged allegiance to the United States.and was peaceful. Smallpox killed two-thirds of them and fire-wa­ ter demoralized them so the white man took their land, acre by acre. The Ottawa and Chippewa tribes were moved west of the Mississippi River by Pres. Monroe and the Wyandottes were moved to Mt. Pleasant by Pres. Harrison, so by 1860 there were only a few left who had been hiding in the woods. • Recordings of early personal stories were used by Mt. Gierman which gave a vivid picture of pioneer days and showed the Indians and especially Chief Okemos to be dejected, helpless and bitter, which is understandable. The Petoskey Stone was named for Chief Petoskey, and his granddaughter-in-law. Mary Jane Petoskey, 80, is still living. Mr. Stewart Graham of Charlotte, president of the Eaton County Historical Society, and Mr. Gier­ man were Heap-Big-Chiefs who crossed the Mackin­ ac Bridge by foot on Labor Day, in 90 minutes. Refreshments served by Mr. and Mrs. John Dornan of Charlotte, completed a pleasant evening.

"Our attitude towards hit­ ting improved and the general spirit of the team wjs much better. We will spent the entire week trying to generate* a ground attack to go with our passing game. " The next game will a game with Waylahd (away) on Friday, September 26. / .

Designated the official disaster agency for the nation, the American Red Cross will be providing emergency care and long-term assistance for all those who need it. Red Cross hopes to raise a minimum of $15,000,000 for Gulf hurricane relief.

Higdon. 49, local jeweler, died W«4» K. nesday, September 17 at Veteran's Hospital, Ann Arbor. He had been a patient at the hospital for ap­ proximately two weeks.

Masonic graveside services and military rites were conducted bv the members of the focal Masonic Lodge and the VFW Post 8260. �Barnes Mason backstreet barometer With the death of Vic Higdon, a little bit of Nashville has died. Vic probably saw as many peo­ ple in Nashville each day. and probably as many people saw Vic as anyone in the town. For years, when Vic had his jewelry store in Makers Super­ market, he talked to almost everyone who went past. It became somewhat of a routine of mine and of many other people's to stop and pass the time of day with Vid, while waiting at the check-out ■ counter. , When Vic moved his shop down the street into the. old Beedle Insurance office, people would then go out of their way to talk to Vic. He was al­ ways good for a funny^tory, a bit of small talk, or sometimes the latest news, but he did not indulge in gossip. Vic worked hard and long hours and Ot­ ten at nine-thirty or ten o'clock, sometimes even later, his light was on and he was always happy to have a passerby stop in for a few words. Vic will be missed. Vic was abitoftbe small town friendliness that goes with Nashville and he will be long remembered. Several families, right at this time of year, are going through the earth-shaking experience of hav­ ing one of the fledglings leave the nest. The ex- LETTERS TO THE Mich. 14.1969 , To the Editor, It seems to me every time decent citizens try to promote decency in this county, some very stupid eager-beavers start yelling, "John Birch. ” Well. I'm -not a Bircher, neither do I know too much a­ bout them, but this I do know, they are fighting for decency and good government the same as a’-l de­ cent Americans who love their country, should be doing. I've seen many people stand up to pledge alle glance to the flag of me United States of America and I wonder when they itand there with one hand on their heart, just what thoughts go through their minds as they speak those very solemn words or if they are just merely mouthing the words because they were told to. As I speak the words, "One na­ tion under God, indivisible, with liberty and jus­ tice for all, " I still feel a thrill, but also a sadness too, to think some individuals are trying to degrade our flag, and divide our country. How much more undivided can we be than we are right now? Our children's morals are being destroyed and dragged in the njjre by an unscrupulous bunch. This is being done by the means of "Sex Education." Children being told by those such as Doctor Mar­ golis, parents are all stupid. The results of this program being more unwed mothers and more ve­ nereal disease and more moral decay. Filthy mov­ ies being allowed to flourish right out in public. What a pleasant sight to be out for a drive and see­ ing a bunch of nude adults parading raw sex for all to see. Adult movies, but not too particular if the younger set gets inside, what aren't inside can see from the outside. Even filthy films for the kin­ dergarten. Oh yes, our libraries have plenty of juicy reading also. What 1 would like to know is this, how can any­ one be so ignorant as to call those of us who are fighting for decency, extremist. If you are good citizens and can see the e v il being done, then for God's sake and our own sakes, have the guts to stand up and be counted. Write letters, join some of these groups, do some­ thing before it's too late. I'd rather stand up and speak my mind and be called a Bircher, (at least not a Communist) than to sit on my britches, belly aching. If you want a country thats indivisible with liberty and justice for all, tl u» you'd better get busy and fight for it. Bernice Hayes, Route 2 Hastings, Mich. by john boughton perience is earth-shaking. I know because we have ing and the hustle and bustle of getting him away has almost exhausted the test of the family. W e realize, as other families must, that this is at least the first step in breaking away from the home ties. Perhaps it is even more than that; it might be the complete break. In any event, it changes the structure of the family, it changes the philos­ ophy of the family, and in our case, it changes the allocation of bedrooms. All things change and change is good for us, 1 guess. As soon as Chris had checked into his dor­ mitory. he received a message that already he had had a telephone calL Kermit Douse, who was living in another dorm, had called to ask Chris to eat with him. They adjust fast. Mornings are white with haze and its a couple of hours after sunrise before the sun is able to burn through the fog and visibility is not anywhere near good. This happens in autumn. It is just one of those things. You know you're going to have to drive just a little bit more carefully and little slower with conditions as they are. Along with the haze of autumn, though, comes the beautiful re­ fraction of the sunlight that gives us the unusual red colors. One of these days, the area's many maple trees will start to turn color and then be­ fore you know it, the whole woods is ablaze and then winter is upon us. But, as the poet says, can spring be far behind? I hope not.

IWtHOIT DOUSE DRUGS & JEWELRY Nashville The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, September 25, 1969 852-0845 �Michigan readies to show fall colors Autumn in Michigan is a time of sensory treats when the days grow shorter and the first hint of frost touches the low lying lands, when the smell of wood smoke fills the night air and when the sun rises and sets like a huge copper disk shining through the au­ tumnal haze. Autumn is that wonderful time of the year when nature takes the colors that proclaim the turn of the season and projects them, making a ’ polychrome light show that illuminates the entire state. Prom past experience the show can be expected to start sometime late in September or early Octo­ ber in the upper ipper peninsula, and jt should continue through late: October or early November in the southern pan of the lower peninsula. ininsula. The display of color generally moves southward at a rate of about one hundred miles in two weeks. Starting at the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula and moving southward, nature flashes colors ram­ pantly and with a bold hand, leaving the more than 19 million acres of Michigan forests a spectacular and resplendent myriad of hues. Indiscriminate in her use of gay colors, nature takes little note of man-made rules that certain colors clash and should not be used together. She mixes the red and bright gold of the maples with the cool green of the neigh- boring pines, and to this she adds the yellow aspens, scarlet sumac and burnished golden oaks. The staghorn sumac generally leads the color show, turning a brilliant red before most other fo­ liage starts to change. The soft maples also domin­ ate the autumn picture with warm red hues. The hard maples contribute a bright yellow to the sym­ phony of color. Autumn brings a climax of color magic, spread­ ing through the wide variety of trees native to Michigan. With more than 85 species of hard and softwood trees, more than any other state, Michi­ gan enjoys its image as America’s autumn show­ place. More and more visitors are discovering the joys of a Michigan autumn vacation when accom­ modations are often available at between-season rates, the highways are less congested, and when Indian summer can be savored and enjoyed. Michigan's network of freeways are ideal corri­ dors for getting the viewer to his area of general in­ terest. Much color may be seen from the freeway,but the real connoisseur will want to take to the byways, where the joy of the discovery of chromat­ ic beauty awaits the viewer. Color touts have been plotted through many sec­ tions of special beauty. Local communities through­ out the state are well equipped with information and directions to assist the traveler in selecting i­ tineraries for color tours in their areas. Chambers of Commerce and other civic organizations in many - communities have marked roads and trails with signs directing the color- seeking traveler to par­ ticularly scenic areas. While viewing the colorful foliage through the window of a car may be the most popular method, it certainly is not the only way to go. Bus touts have been arranged in some areas and color cruis­ es are offered on many of Michigan's more than 11, 000 inland lakes and 36,000 miles of rivers and streams. Conducted tours allow the color to be viewed in relaxing comfort. Passengers on the wa­ ter trips not only see the original colorful foliage, but they get a color bonus in the reflection from the cool, blue water. Most canoe liveries offer ad­ vice and directions for color trips by canoe. ' Walking and horseback trails offer special r e wards to those who would spend time leisurely wan­ dering through the woods and along the shorelines. No matter wnat the mode of transportation, a pause for an autumn picnic is always most welcome. Fall is a capricious season, subject to sudden change. In one night wind and rain can strip the leaves from the trees, leaving bare branches where only yesterday a profusion of garish foliage q?fj£ted. Contacting the local chamber of commerce for the latest color information could avoid disappoint­ ment. The Michigan Autumn Color Tour Guide, pub­ lished and distributed by the Michigan Tourist Council, includes maps and directions for 24 color tours in both peninsulas. The tours are routed to include such interesting points as abandoned mines, ghost towns, waterfalls, lakes and river, which serve as subjects for the autumn color photographer. Copies of the publication are available free of charge from the Michigan Tourist Council, Ste­ vens T. Mason Building, Lansing 48926. Kalamo MBS. WM. JUSTUS Mn.

At time the queen and princess will be crowned. Queen candidates are Terri Wells, Pam Showalter, ' and Patti Barlond. Princess candidates are Diane Musser, Jodie Gordenski and Sue Tefft Maple Valley came from behind to bring W ay land down to defeat in last Friday's football game. MV was down 19 to 0 at one time in the game and down 19-8 at half-time. In the fiat half scoring a 3-yard run by quarter­ back Larry Winegar and the extra point was a 3yard sweep by Gene Heaton. The second half scoring came on a 22-yard run by Gene Heaton in the third quarter. The extra point failed. Wayland fumbled the kickoff after the TD re­ covery by MV. On the fint play after the fumble Larry Winegar hit Randy Hummel with a 41-yard scoring strike to put the Lions ahead. Hummel threw a halfback pass to Gary Skidmore for the ex­ tra point, Maple Valley completely dominated the second half. The MV defensive unit held Wayland to only 39 total yards in the second half while the offense rolled up 181 total yards. Tailback Gene Heaton led the second half surge with 84 yards rushing. The passing combination of Larry Winegar to Dan Dipert continued to be very effective. Dipert caught seven passes for a total of 80 yards. Adding to the effectiveness of the passing attack was Randy Hum­ mel who had 4 receptions for 72 yards. Winegar end­ ed the game with 12 completions in 16 attempts for 162 yards. Although the win over Wayland was certainly a team effort, there were several outstanding individ­ ual performances. On defense the work of Ray Gar­ vey, tackle, and Ralph Myen, tackle, were Key factoB in the tremendous second half defensive ef­ fort by the Lions. Offensively the running of Gene Heaton and the passing of Larry Winegar was outstanding, Heaton made 93 total yards. In addition the emire offen­ sive line made up of Steve Priddy, Leon Beebe, Ralph Myea, Steve Cates, Mike Kenyon and Gary Skidmore put forth a very fine effort. Coach Lenz said. "I am very pleased with the progress of the Lions thus far. I feel that the secondnalf effort put forth by the boys at Wayland may be the turning point m our season. In addition we have several boys who have been out with i n juries who should be ready for this Friday's home­ coming game with Fulton-Middleton that will help give us depth." Historical Society begins an interesting project The Vermontville Historical Society has started an interesting project of locating the descendanB of the families o, the Union Colony which settled Ver­ montville in 1836.

At'one time—during the game a Washii er was hit hard enough to nave the wind locked out of him. As he walked about In the middle o f the field all bent over and holding his middle a fel­ low somewhere behind us shouted at him, "don't you dare throw up on the new carpet. " The crowd was as small as I have ever seen at a game at Ann Arbor. They said there were 47, 000 people in the stands, but they did not even start to fill the stands. Come to think of it, that is less than half the capacity of the stadium. I was talking to a feUow about the new carpeted playing field and be told me that he bad been to a meeting of a carpet manufacturer who claimed that within a few years they would be selling carpeting for the yards of ordinary homes. Much easier to keep up than a regular lawn and it always looks mowed. I guess you would have to get a big vacuum cleaner to go over it every once in a while. Another thing that is coming in the near future, they say, is the less than 5-day work week. Right now the steel workers are trying to get a four-day in their new contract. They say this would spread the work out, make less unemployment and it will give the workers a little more time at home. Not too long ago I heard an expert on public re­ creation say that within the next ten years we would be to the three-day work week. That would make the weekend really worth while. I'll drink to that. A sociologist claims that this trend toward a shorter work week will save the American home. He also thinks it will start a trend toward small town and rur­ al living. This fellow is of the opinion that when a person only has to work three days of the week, he will be willing to commute farther than he would if he had to do it every Monday through Friday as we do now. He thinks people wul work in the cities but will live in small towns and in the country. Perhaps this is what is in store for Nashville and Vermontville and other small towns like them. May­ be this is what is in store for us. I was up to Gaylord the other day and was shock­ ed at the way that town has changed. Someone has got the entire town pulling together and they have made a Bavarian village of the entire town. AU it takes is some direction and a bit of enthusiasm and a town can do wonders. Gaylord is fast becoming the largest ski area in the entire mid-west. RUMMAGE & BAKE SALE Congregational Church L C. A.

Our American Govern­ ment classes listened to "Gallant Men", a record, recorded by the great Senator. One of his favqpte quotations was, 'Our legacy is freedom, but as President Eisenhower has said, we must be willing to dare all for our country. " Klaus-Peter, our German exchange student, ex­ plained the German government to his class. Three major parties make up the law-making body. Klaus also told our Future Teachers about his country and his school Our visitors have been Dale Hose, Stanley Graham and Durwood Stewart. We have been discussing laws in American Gov­ ernment class. We agree some are "way out," but we must obey them until we are able to have them changed. Sociology saw a film about "Heredity and Enviomment." It was loaned to us by Kent State Uni­ versity. Mr. Wolff ordered us fifty books on "You and the Law." We find them very interesting. One of the questions raised in all our government classes is, "What are my rights?" Another, "Are we miss­ ing the words 'My rights?'. .. Wayne Frazier placed four great historical docu­ ments' on our bulletin board. They are "Lincoln's Gettysburg Address" in his own handwriting, "Con­ gress of the United States," "Presidents of the Uni­ ted States, " and "The Declaration of Independence. Our seniors viewed "Wild World" from the Same Fe Railroad Company. It certainly gave us an ap­ preciation of "America the Beautiful” found in our great west. The animals were delightfuL The scen­ ery was beautifuL We were;happy to see Chris Boughton and Gordon Stark again. Chris is waiting for MSU to open and Gordon is in the US Navy. He just finished boot training at Great Lakes and will be assigned to a Destroyer out of Norfolk, Va. Ray Collier also dropped in to say hello. Sociology class has given reports on cultures of many different groups of people. Many things were found to be the same. They were a close family unit, supremacy of the father, strong religious be­ liefs, a belief m life after death, the highest God­ a sun god, and honor and respect for their elders. The sociology class saw the colored film, "The Culture of Our American Indians. " The M ichigan Legislature goes back to work Oc­ tober 6, 1968.

This includes a humane way of animal control and the disposal of unwanted animals. As a result of her findings of the poeple’s wishes, she prepared and circulated petitions which read; To the Eaton County Supervisors; We, the undersigned residents of Eaton County do not want surplus animals from the Eaton County Animal Shelter sold to dealers, universities or lab­ oratories to be used for research purposes. Anyone who has not seen the petition, but wants his wishes known, should write to his supervisor or Kathryn Bosworth, county clerk, at once. As Dr. Wm. Trumble, state veterinarian said, " Eaton County has a nice shelter, but it is smalL " "The county is growing fast. More room is needed at the animal shelter, as well as more help," Mrs. Shance agreed, when they discussed necessary improvements.

The need for such action came at Thursday nighti council meeting following a request by the Cham­ ber of Commerce to rezone Putnam Park as recre­ ational area. The Chamber, which was the sponsor­ ' ing body for the Centennial activities, has approx­ imately $6, 000 they would like to use in develop­ ing some ideas for Nashville.

Today, they face a big future for a wide variety of uses in Michigan which could turn their disposal into a multimillion-doilar industry, reports the Department of Natural Resources (DNR). In breaking through the waste barrier to give sawmill operators a new profit-making edge, these by­ products are gaining popularity for their use among home and cottage owners, campground enterprisers, horse and cattle raisers, and landscape architects. The reasons are ’ many. Bark and sawdust do an excellent job of reducing weed growth and holding moisture around plants (Photo #1); they stabilize soil that tends to blow or wash away (Photo 112); they provide a good surface and hold down dust problems around playgrounds, on trails, and in other high-use areas where it is hard to grow grass (Photo #3)> they make excellent bedding for cattle and horses (Photo #4); they can be used as landscape material in place of grass or crushed stone, In marketing this material at modest prices to serve so many uses, sawmill operators are able to reduce the amount they have to burn. This is a good stroke of business both in curbing air pollution and wood disposal costs. DNR foresters brand as "untrue” any talk about these materials being toxic to the soil. The DNR’s Forestry Division in Lansing has a list of all Adult students wanted Charles Porter, Lakewood Adult Education Super­ visor stated that a good number of adults are show­ ing up for both the night and day classes. Porter states that there is still room for more students in aU subjects. Subjects where there is still a particular need for more adults are as follows: Woodshop for men and women on Monday evenings, and math class for adults interested in either general math. Alge­ bra or Geometry. Porter states that new techniques and materials are being used in this class. An an class for both 1st and 2nd year students is also available on Monday evenings, Jack Lambert is the instructor. Other classes that still need stu­ dents are Architectural Drawing and Design, and Biology on Tuesdays, Basic Electronics and Power Mechanics on Thursday evenings. For more infor­ mation call 374-8868. 4 ADULT ENRICHMENT CLASSES OFFERED Classes for fun for adults in a variety of subjects will begin in Lakewood during the week of October 6th.

October 2, 1969 �George Hanson is guest ■ speaker at Vermontville George Hamon, Dean of Olivet College, was guest speaker at the Vermontville Hiatoncal Society meeting held Wednesday evening, September 24, in the Griswold Room of the Congregational Church. His talk related the story of a million dollar dream that failed. The story of a railroad, designed to run from .Coldwater to Marshall, was extended to con­ tinue in a northerly direction, and was to eventually reach Mackinaw City. Mr. Hanson started his study of the course the rail­ road was to take back in 1948 and he has spent many bouts covering the area as well as extensive research of maps and other materials. The proposed railroad was the dream of A. L. Green who felt so strongly that the railroad would be a success that he was able to sell stock amounting to something like $1.200, 000. According to facts, Mr. Hanson was able to gather, Mr. Green died while the grading was being done in the Muir area. Reportedly the son took over, but the big dream A. L. Green strug5led with, starting in 1869 and continued through 874, apparently died with him, and had the rail­ road developed, the changes that might have taken place in the development of the many towns and , cities along the route is only speculation. Some of the grades for the track have been leveled over the years, but a few may still be seen. The best time is right after a light snow storm, and one that is par­ ticularly visable is just south of Vermontville near the bridge on the west side of the road. . Ray Anderson, a long-time resident of Vermont­ ville, and a person deeply interested in the history of his hometown and of Nashville as- well, read a most interesting history of.these two communities. This may be found elsewhere in the Maple Valley News this week. A carry-in dinner preceded the program Wednes­ day evening, and Mrs. Barbara Wright, president-of the Historical Society, conducted a brief business meeting. She stated that the church and the chapel have been accepted as Historic Landmarks in Michi­ gan, the chapel for its cultural background, and the church for its architecture. r . She also announced that a special business meet­ ing was scheduled for September 30, at 7:30 p. m. when several items of importance concerning the Historical Society would be taken care of. Some time ago the society collected together all of the old Vermontville newspapers and had them microfilmed by the Michigan State Library. These rolls of film were presented to Mrs. Mildred Allen, librarian ar the Vermontville Public Library. A Sec­ ond set of films is being filed in the State Library. Mrs. Wright asked everyone present at the dinner meeting to introduce himself and during the intro­ ductions it was learned that four persons in the group were bom in log cabins, Mrs. Robert Childs, Mrs. Roy Mathews, Kenyon Peabody and Cecil Weyant. The teachers of the Maple Valley school district had been invited to attend the meeting as special guests, in order that they might become better ac­ quainted with the history of Nashville and Vermont­ ville. At the close of the meeting a majority of the guests retired to the Chapel which has recently been papered and other work*done by volunteers from the Historical Society.

Information given about the background of this area A condensed story of the settlement of both Ver­ montville and Nashville for the benefit of the new teachers of the Maple Valley School System, at a meeting of the Vermontville Historical Society held in the Griswold Room of the Congregational Cnurch, Sept. 24th. 1969. Compiled and read by Ray Anderson. The object of this meeting is to acquaint the new teachers with the historical background of both Ver­ montville and Nashville. In as much as the schools from both communities are now consolidated into the Maple Valley School System and teachers are assigned to schools in both villages, Twill attempt to give you a quick rundown on both towns, and to you that are further interested, you can find more detailed information in both the Vermontville and Nashville public libraries. In October 1829, both Eaton and Barry Counties, among others, were formed by an act passed by the Legislative Council of Michigan. It was about this time that there began an influx of settlers into this area, most of them with the idea of not only making new homes for themselves, but also better­ ing themselves financially, for there was at this time the beginning of a land boom in Michigan which would, hopefully, increase the value of their holdings. Nashville developed along these lines starting in the 1830’s, when land was purchased from the Fed­ eral Government in 1836 and held for speculation. In those days water power was a necessity, for the early settlers needed both saw and grist mills to take care of their most vital needs; so eventually the Thornapple River was dammed and a saw mill erected in 1855 on the north side of the river just west of the present bridge on North Main Street. Later on a grist mill was erected on the opposite side of the river, which still stands and is in every day use. Water power was used in this mill until just a few years ago. Most of the early settlers in the Nashville area came'from Vermont, Ohio and New York, gradually building up the community. The village was platted in 1865 and was named after a Mr. Nash, who was the chief engineer of the Grand River Valley Rail­ road which was opened for use in 1868-69. The Vermont background is reflected in the naming of Castleton township, in which Nashville is partially located. Vermontville on the other hand, was a definitely planned colony before the group ever left. Vermont. Very few settlements were founded in this manner, hence it's unique background. They not only wanted a congenial group of the same religious beliefs. Congregational, nut I am sure they also had the same ideas in mind that other emigrants had, namely, they might make a little money on the Western lands that were then being opened up for purchase and settlement. I quote from Deacon S. S. Church, one of the original founders of Vermontville: "In the fall of 1835, the Reverend Sylvester Cochrane, a Congre­ gational Minister of East Poultney, Vt., visited Michigan with a view of locating permanently. He found the settlement so sparse that it was quite difficult at that time to find" inhabitants contiguously located, so as to have schools or to enjoy religious privileges remote from the villages. He returned to Vermont, conceived the plan of colonization, and began preparations to execute his project. He visited dinerent places in the State, and conferred with those persons wishing to emigrate. Early in the winter of 1835-36 a meeting was held in East Poult­ ney, Vermont, which quite a large number of persons, intending to emigrate attended. Mr. Cochrane's plan was discussed, and initiatory steps taken to mature and perfect the enterprise. Sunsequent meet­ ings were held in Castleton, Vt, and on the 27th day of March 1835, laid out rules and regulations of the “UNION COLONY"; part of the pre»mble stating, 'We therefore form ourselves into an as­ sociation, or colony, with the design of removing into some pan of the western country which shall hereafter be designated, and agree to bind our­ selves to observe the following rules.' These rules will be found complete as listed in the "Rules and Regulations of the Union Colony. " At this time I will not attempt to go further in detail, but to you who wish further information on its organization and settlement, you will find all information with a complete list of the names, addresses and occu­ pations of its members in the book "History of Ing­ ham and Eaton Counties" by Samuel W. Durant.also Mr. Edw. W. Barber's book on Vermontville, which is most interesting, as he grew up with Ver­ montville. Both of these books are in the public li­ brary in Vermontville. Subsequent to this meeting a committee was sent to Michigan to locate a plot of unsettled and unde­ veloped land for a townsite. This they did, survey­ ed it and named it Vermontville, after their home state. Soon thereafter the settlers left their homes in Vermont and started for Michigan to build and develop their new homes. The first settiters arriving in the fall of 1836, finding temporary shelter in a community log cabin which had been erected for their use, untu they could build a cabin of their own. Again let me refer you to Mr. Barber's book, in which he gives a very interesting account of how the village developed from that beginning. In as much as the teachers are our guests this evening, 1 wish to dwell a little more fully on it's cultural and educational background. Article 6 of the agreement drawn up befdre leaving Vermont reads, "And we do also agree that for the benefit of our children and the rising generation, we will endeavor as far as possible, to carry with us, and perpetuate among us the same literary privilages that we enjoy here. " Amid all the hardships of pioneer life they did not forget the vow made in Vermont and so they promptly set out providing educational facilities that would carry on the Vermont traditions. Again I quote from Deacon S. S. Church; "The first school was in the summer of 1838, in a private house. In the fall a log school house was ^erected in which school was regularly taught from 3 to 4 months in summer by a female teacher, and the same time, in winter by a male teacher. In 1843 the population had so increased that an academical association was organized and materials procured to build an academy to answer the double purpose of Academy and Church. In the fall of 1844, the upper story was completed and the Rev. W. U. Benedict, the pastor of the church taught a school 4 months in the fall of 1844-45, in which higher English Branches and also languages were taught. " I now quote from Mr. Edw. W. Bar­ ber's book on Vermontville, who should know as he attended school in the academy under Rev. W. U. Benedict; " The old Academy was a well con­ ducted and popular institution while under the charge of Rev. Benedict, and scholars attended it from various parts of Eaton County and from Battle Creek for several winters. "A handbill for the winter term of 1849 has been preserved and is worth reproducing here. "VERMONTVILLE ACADEMY" The winter term of this institution will commence under the Superintendence of Rev. W. U. Benedict. Mr. Benedict's success as a teacher hitherto, and the location of this Institution, removed from every­ thing that tends to divest the students mind and draw off his attention from his studies, renders this a desirable Institution for those who wish to make improvement. The terms of tuition are: For common Eng. Branches $2. 50 per quarter For common Branches $3. 00 per quarter For Languages $3. 00 per quarter With a small charge for incidental expenses. Board can be obtained at from $1. 00 to $1. 25 a week. School was conducted in the Academy until 1870 when a new brick building was erected for that pur­ pose, which was used until a few years ago when it was demolished to make way for the present Maplewood Elementary school building. There have been a number of students of both the Old Academy, and of our public schools who have gone forth from both our communities to gain prom­ inence in both the educational and business world. Some of those from Vermontville who attended the Academy were: Edw. W. Barber, Publisher & Editor of the Jack­ son Citizen Patriot. Edw. P. Church. Head of our State School for the Blind. Dr. Jos. B. Griswold, Eminent inState Medical Schools. Frank Davis, helped survey the Northern Pacific, Panama Isthmus Railroads, ana a route over the Andes. Henry Matin, a nationally known music critic. Dr. Kedzie, an early president of Michigan Agricultural College. Others of a later period; Rev. Chas. McKenny, who became president of Ypsilanti State Normal College. Zella Allen, head of Seattle Parental School, Seattle, Wn. Dorr Demeray,. President of Seattle Pacific College, Seattle. Wn. 1 think the one person that brought the mon prom­ inence to the old Nashville system was Homer Gribben. While Mr. Gribben was connected with one of the large New York Advertising agencies, he was the one who thought up, and developed, none other than the Bordon Company's "ELSIE THE COW" who dominated the Borden ads for many years. I hope this rather sketchy outline will create an interest on your part to invenigate further, and in­ form yourselves so you will have a better undemand­ ing of the Historical and 'Educational backgrounds of our two communities which make up the Maple Valley School System, and will inspire you to kelp carry forward the tradition of good education from our two communities.

This place was so new that they did not have the plumbing finished so they had a little house out behind the place, just like tney did in the olden days. When the little fellow announced he bad to go, his mother pointed him toward the backhouse and sent him on his way. When he came back he was delighted to tell his mother that these people must be very rich because they had an entire house devoted to nothing but a bathroom. I heard the other day about the fellow who saw a load of sod going down the road. "Boy, " he said, "there is real wealth for you... that fellow is so rich he can afford, to send his ---------------- *------- '* Then there is the other one about the fellow who kidnapped a rich kid and then sent him home with a ransom note. Jim Wynes, our new principal, is not too cooper­ ative. In the past I have had a good rapport with principals. I always made it a point to miss the first picture of the principal kissing the homecom­ ing queen and then would ask for a re-run. They have always been most anxious to do as I requested. Not Jim though. I asked him to kiss the queen a­ gain for the camera and he said, "No, they will think I'm a masher. “ I should have let hipi take the picture while I kissed thequeen. cut People are talking about color tours this time of year. The communities in the northern part of the state are telling how beautiful the woods are in their areas. Folks around here do not have to go that far to see real beauty in the woods. Look right to our own streets in Nashville, or go over to Vermont­ ville and drive the short distance from the railroad crossing to downtown. The colors are beautiful LETTERS TO THE EDITOR LETTER TO THE EDITOR The Nashville Volunteer Fire Department has been doing a wonderful job of fire fighting and fire prevention besides the ambulance and many p ro motions for the benefit of the residents of Nash­ ville and surrounding country. They are to be truly commended by the residents. October 5 to 12 has been designated as Fire Pre­ vention Week and I hope all restdents will take every precaution in their burning of leaves and rubbish. Harold Christiansen, president Village of Nashville LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Once more it is fall and our countryside is filled with the beauty of the glorious colors of Mother Na­ ture. Yet it issort of a sad time, too, for we realize that the fun of the summer and the lovely flowers will soon be gone. I, too, am filled with mixed emotions. The joy of the work, fun and success of our Centennial cele­ bration. Yet I, too, feel somewhat sad to know that it is all over. I have so enjoyed working so closely with so many people and the many various organi­ zations in such a cooperative spirit. I feel that there has been more "togetherness" in our commun­ ity than for a great many of years. I thoroughly enjoyed working with the guys on the steering committee and with our officers — they were a grand group to work with and for. Words are inadequate to express my sincere grat­ itude to each and everyone of you, and especially to those who were responsible for presenting me with the lovely painting as a gift. This is particul­ arly fulfilling to me as this was my church for twen­ ty-three years, jny parents' church for fifty years and my grandparents' church all <rf their lives. This gift I shall surely cherish all of my life for several reasons. Once more, "thank to each and everyone, and may our y spirit remain alive.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Anyone wondering why Michigan property owners have been complaining about their property taxes? The questions are answered by figures which came out of the state treasurer's office. The records show property tax payments foe for 1969 reached the $1. 5 billion mark this year. That's a jump of 14.46 per cent over last year alone. And the department says property tax collections have risen 99 percent over the 'past 10 yehrs. The figures also show schools, which are receicing more and more state money every year, also taking a bigger bite of the property tax revenues. In 1967, 56. 34 per cent of all property tax col­ lections in the state went for schools. That figure jumped to 58.23 per cent last year and to 60. 94 per cent this year. The percentage of the tax received by cities, counties, townships and villages was down slightly at the same time. Soaring property taxes received a great deal of attention in the hearings held earlier this year by the Governor's Commission on Educational Reform. Witness after witness said the state must come up with a different source for school finances. The source most often mentioned was the state income tax. The Governor himself has said the state role in education "must be stronger and much more vital" than it is now. This presumably would include more state support for schools than ever before. Michigan already leads most states in the percent­ age of school money which comes from the state. A recent survey by the National Education Assoc­ iation showed that only 52. 6 percent of school fending in Michigan comes from local sources. This compares with 69.2 per cent in Wisconsin, 66. 7 per cent in Illinois and 64. 9 per cent in Ohio. The Secretary of State's office is suspending drivers licenses at a rate nearly double that of a‘year ago. Secretary of State James M. Hare says the hike is the result of a new law which requires suspensions of drivers licenses belonging to persons who do not take care of tickets they receive for driving offenses. In all of 1968, Hare's office suspended or revoked a total of 60, 520 drivers licenses for various periods of time. By the end of the first six months of this year, hjs office already had lifted 51, 000 licenses for varying times. Hare said the new law is responsible for 17, 000 of the suspensions and added, ’'The pace is picking up."

Drivers under 25 make up 21 per cent of the driving public. Yet last year, police records show, they accounted for 38 percent of all drivers involved in accidents. The same group accounted for 36 per cent of all drivers involved in fatal crashes. Records show youthful drivers are the most frequent victims of traffic death. Of the 2, 388 persons who died on Michigan streets and highways last year, 770 of them were in the 15-24 age group. "Although they may seem to be unduly criticized, drivers under 25 the available facts establish years of age as an extraordinary high risk group, " exit.— said State Police Director Direc Fredrick E. Davids. "If the only assets required for safe driving were skills, reflexes and automotive knowledge, the aver­ age young driver could teach his elders, Davids - said. " Instead, young drivers seem to provide proof that one's life style and driving style are inseparable. Since youth is a time of impulse, testing and com­ petition, that stage of driving and its consequences are increasingly tragic on both the state and national scale." Among other facts included in the report was the statistic that 81 per cent of all bicycle.deaths occur to children under the age of 15. • It took 48 years to accomplish it, but North Carolina has finally imposed a cigarette tax, mak­ ing it the 50tb state to do so. Iowa was the first state to impose such a tax back in 1921. The other states have fallen in line one by one until North Carolina was the lone holdout. But rising expenses finally forced the lawmakers there to turn to tobacco for money, and they levied a two cents per pack tax. Michigan levies a tax of seven cents per pack.

Orthopedically handicapped, hearing impaired and visually impaired children in the district are served in Battle Creek or Lansing on a tuition basis. In the intermediate office, several changes in programming are planned says Scott. A teacher counselor for the physically handicapped has b e e n employed. This specialist will work primarily in the area of the perceptually handicapped with chil­ dren and with teachers of children who manifest per­ ceptual kinds of problems.

VOGT Dear friends, -.|j, If a family death occurs in another city, immediately call your funeral director to arrange for transshipment. Should the authorities at place of death cause the body to be returned to a local funeral director not of your choice, you may properly insist that transfer be made to your funeral director for burial services.

Facts often are deeply hidden, like the seven-eighths of an iceberg which always lie under water. When your newspaper reporter says to the mayor, • or the school superintendent, or the chief of po­ lice, “May I ask you a question or two?” he is really “diving” for facts. He hopes to bring to the light of day other related names, figures, or relationships which will tell his readers a fuller story. Good newspapers, good news­ papermen constantly dive, dig, and probe beneath the appearances of things to their deeper, often hid­ den meanings and connections. There are all kinds of news­ papers and all kinds of newspaper­ men. Nobody ever claimed they were all perfect. But one thing is certain: No other agency, insti­ tution, or group of people of any kind is engaged in digging out and publishing important facts about our public life. That’s the job of a free and un­ licensed press. This newspaper would like you to remember that during National Newspaper Week, October 5-11. - Maple Valley News The Maple Valley Newt, Nashville, Michigan.

OCTOBER 16. 1969 Investigation continues Investigation continues in the breaking and enter­ ing of the Maple Valley Junior-Senior High School and the Pennock Block plant owned by Richard Wert some time last Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning. The vault door at the school was pried open and approximately $72 was taken, and at the block plant the small safe was broken into but there was no money in the safe. In a routine check made at the school located on Nashville Highway, midway between Vermontville and Nashville, about 6:45 a. m. Wednesday, Head Custodian Wayne Skedgell found that the building had been entered and called in the officers. Apparently sometime after 11 p. m. Tuesday, a eerson or persons had gained entrance to the building y climbing over the wall at the north side, enter­ ing the court yard, then broke a window pane into the cafeteria and reached in and opened the window. Then, from the south door in the cafeteria they had gone into the hall, pried open a metal door on the book store, and from here made their way through the office area in the hall where the vault door was pried open. The vault was ransacked and the floor strewn with die contents. The bookstore area was also vandalized, and the floor littered with sup­ plies from the shelves. At the block plant a safe, approximately 24 inches square was set just outside the office, and entry was made by prying open the bottom of the safe. AI though the personnel papers were taken, there was no cash in the safe. Entry into the plant was made through a door at the rear of the warehouse. State Police Trooper, R. J. Kuhn, from the Bat­ tle Creek Post, is shown examining the vault door. He stated that, in his opinion, the break-in appear­ ed to be the work of amateurs. An assortment of tools was found near the vault door, including scis" and a.screwdriver which belonged to the ere was also a box of matches. Other ev­ idence was found at the scene and a composite foot­ print was found also. The second photo shows the general mess at t h e bookstore. Kendal Wilcox, Nashville Police Chief, is shown examining the safe at Pennock Concrete Products.

We have talked with some of the teachers, new ones and older ones, and have asked them if they would be interested to being in­ terviewed and to explain some of their teaching methods and ideas and, in general, give their views on education. We feel that sometimes if a new idea were explained or discussed, there would be mote understanding on our pans as parents and adults and on the part of the student also. We felt that a feature such as this, a Profile of a Teacher, would be very helpful in getting across this gap in our communication. Look for it - soon - and w« would be interested in hearing your comments as the interviews are presented.

Now, they don’t want the fun, the work, the e n thusiasm to stop. They feel perhaps there are others who have similar feelings. One of the comments she made was that she had never seen our community of Nashville and the residents of this community work so wel wellj together as a unit. She is suggesting that they — pool■ this energy and enthusiasm on another project and "get going" again. Upon further questioning, she the stated that she just knew there were many more like her who would wish fto do something with their community, ------ -—their '--±and for community - to better its appearance, to make for a good community relationship - and to get involved but what they lack more than anything is the leaderleader­ ship and the one project or the one idea where every­ ’ " together for the same goal. one is worl t imagine, our suggestion was this: As you r "Write you know what r ~ have!" In other words, write a letter to the Editor“ and let’s get some of these ideas out in the open. The particular idea that this young lady had (and we might add, that we rather share such a suggestion) is to restore Nashville! Make the most of our quaint.' unique appearance. Fix it up, don't let it rot and decay, keep the decor of the "old town" but don't let it be ram-shackle. Make people want to come here - and make them want to come back. Let oth­ ers knew we are here. She added further that she wished the Chamber of Commerce shared some of these ideas. Perhaps they do and don't know it. Perhaps this is not a project for the Chamber of Commerce alone, but could be a separate project, with a membership of all who are interested in becoming involved. Could we suggest that others share their views a­ long this line. Write your comments, sign your let­ ter, and we'll be glad to print it!

Village president Harold Christiansen reported that he and members of the water and sewer committee had met with representatives from Williams & Works ' Engineers of Grand Rapids, to review plans for a water tower and sewer extensions. He called for special council meeting to be held this week Thursday, at 7 p. m. when more informa­ tion, cost estimates and alternate plans will be pre­ sented by representatives of the engineering com­ pany. The village is contemplating seeking federal aid to assist with the project. Nashville's attorney, Paul Seigel of Hastings has advised the Zoning Administrator, Justin Cooley, that it will be up to the property owners and the Chinch of the Nazarene regarding property owners keeping up the appearance of the lots and buildings in the Fuller Heights Addition. This will be in ac­ cordance with rules and regulations set up by the Fuller Heights Committee and the lot owners who sign the regulation orders when they purchase prop­ erty in this area. It was also Seigel's opinion that it was not nec­ essary to have the officials rezone the park areas within the village limitsas such. Presently they are designated as residential, and in his opinion re­ creation is a part of family living. This opinion was sought because an over-night trailer park had been suggested as a part of improvements which might be started with some $6, 000 which had been cleared by the Centennial Committee during the recent Centennial Celebration. While the $6, 000 is a generous amount the com­ mittee is willing to turn over for community im­ provement projects, still it would be "only a drop in the bucket" when compared to what it would cost to set up an over- night trailer park. The trail­ er park is only one of a number of improvements that have been suggested for the community. Police Chief Kendal Wilcox, in his report to the council, stated that the police cruiser had traveled ' 2, 332 miles in the past two weeks, using 210. 6 gallons of gasoline. Four moving violations tickets had been issued; several others were sighted for im­ proper parking; one breaking-and-entering had been investigated; one driving-under-the-influence of-liquor violation; the police has assisted in one county accident involving a county cruiser, and the local police had covered four tire calls. Frank Scramlin, a member of the Castleton-Ma­ ple Grove Fire Board, reported on the progress of plains for the new fire barn recently approved b y the voters. Upon the recommendation of Tim Smith, super­ intendent of Public Works, William Eastman was hired as a village employee. He will replace Rob­ ert Bitgood who is leaving to work for a trucking concern. Further improvements at Putnam Park were in­ troduced by Stewart Graham. These were tabled until next spring.

Need volunteer catalogers TUNE UP FOR COLD WEATHER Classes for volunteer catalogers will again be held at the Barry County Museum in Charlton Park. If you have time, your help is needed. . , To give everyone interested a chance to attend, the class will be repeated six times: At 1:30 and 7:30 p. m. on Thursday, November 6th, Wednesday, November 12th and Tuesday November 18th. Any­ one interested in learning to catalog and access items is urged to attend and to work on a museum collection afterwards. Work time will be individu­ ally scheduled with each volunteer. Last year 17 attended the classes but cold weather and an unheated museum combined to prevent much work being done. This year the museum is heated and major renovation work is completed so little should interfere with getting a good start at catalog­ ing the varied materials gathered by Mr. Charlton.

But it doesn't seem to frighte n Teri Jo, 4, and her brother Bruce Loyn, 5, chil­ dren of Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Welker of 9180 Scott Road, just west of here on M79. The pumpkin is 64 inches in circumference and stands 22 inches high. It is but one of five large pumpkins from the Welker garden. Others weighed 84, 70, 65 and 60 pounds. Mrs. Welker planted two packages of seeds, but only three vines came up. The 84-pound one sold for $5. 00 but this large one the Welker children are keeping for Halloween. --Photo by Gladys Richardson. and voted to pay the November 1st bond interest of $21. 311. 9a The State Board of Education handed down a de­ cision to transfer the Ronald Simmons property from Maple Valley to the Lakewood School district. State aid for driver education has been received in the amount of $4, 830 for the 1968-69 program. This year the state paid out at the maximum rate of $30 per student which covered the costs. The Intermediate office has paid the school dis­ trict $460 for the cost in the Headstart program. The October state aid in the amount of $139, 600 has been received and the Eaton Intermediate of­ fice has reimbursed the district monies for special education costs this past year in the following a­ mounts: 25 percent of the Type A room. $9,058.27; 100 percent of the transportation costs of two chil­ dren, $1, 307. 98 and $1,291. 97 for the Speech Correction Department. The district still has t u i tion payment due it in the amount of $2,,562.18 for students attending special education classes in Battle Creek and Lansing. The membership reports have been filed with the county office, and accreditation reports have been filed with the University of Michigan. Supt. Carroll J. Wolff gave his report on the re­ cent fall state conference meeting in Detroit. The board was informed of a program involving tuberculin testing for all ninth grade students which is being promoted by the State Department of Ed­ ucation and supported by the Michigan Depart­ ment of Public Health. Sometime this year school administrators will be contacted by local health department officers to participate in a new volun­ teer program of tuberculin testing for all public and private ninth grade students in the state. It is anticipated that the program will provide a reliable state index of tuberculosis infection i n this age group and also serve as a guideline for future tuberculin testing programs in the schools. For unity, use of the Mantoux skin test with PPD-T available from the Michigan Department of Public Health is planned. It is hoped that the test will be given wall of the 178, 000 Michigan ninth graders. Participa­ tion by at least 85 percent of the students is consider­ ed the minimum necessary for an accurate index of infection. The. tests, financed by public health agen­ cies and the Michigan Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Association, will be administered by physi­ cians or by registered nurses under the direction o f physicians. Dates for the tests will be announced la­ ter. In a previous meeting the board discussed the in­ stallation of a pay telephone on the school grounds. This was primarily for the purpose of students being able to contact their parents upon returning home from "away games” when they needed a ride home. However the costs seem out of line with the need, and the board voted to do nothing at this time. It was also pointed out by the high school principal, Jim Wynes, that the approximate time the busses will get in is announced ahead of time, and that having the parents on hand to pick up the students should not be any particular problem. Too, there is a phone in the school hall, and under ordinary c i r cumstances this is available should the need arise. November 9 is the beginning of American Educa­ tion Week. Some special activities are being plan­ ned. The elementary buildings are planning a com­ bined Parent-Teacher meeting to be held in the high school on Thursday evening, November 13. Consideration for future bonding programs in r e lationship to increased enrollment figures was d is cussed by the board. Supt. Wolff said. This should be a thorough study with consideration for the i n volvement of community representatives being con­ sidered. Also the operation millage expires this year, and I definitely would recommend a vote be­ fore the Tune annual election. An early operational vote will give us some indication of future negotia­ tion meetings to be held this coming spring." Both elementary principal Howard Yost and high school principal Jim Wynes gave reports of events and conditions in their respective buildings. Yost re­ ported some windows have been broken at the Kel­ logg Street school, some outdoor lights broken, and that some damage was suffered in the boys' lavatory on the upper floor when paper towels were stuffed in­ to the lavatories and the water left on. As a result some two inches of water covered the bathroom floor. As a disciplinary measure he ordered this bath­ room locked except for about two hours a day, 12 noon to 2 p. m. Feeling this might prove a hard­ ship on many of the students, the board suggested that the students be required to sign out when leav­ ing the room, and upon returning, thus making it possible to trace any damage that might occur. The Kellogg students are 4th, 5th and 6th graders, and it is Yost’s feelings these students should nave proper respect and feel some responsibility for the building, and he has informed the students that any future damage is to be paid for by the students'parents. Wynes, in reporting on the high school building stated that he has felt his meetings with the new teachers have been beneficial and said, "We want to be as helpful as possible to our new teachers. " The board questioned him on his feeling toward any "moratorium" action on Wednesday and he said, ' "We will not be participating on Wednesday one way or the other, " and added that if the students did walk out it would be a matter to be treated the same as skipping schooL He felt that students wish­ ing to participate should do it outside of school hours.

Maple Valley upsets Bellevue Broncos, 22-16 By winning 22 - 16 in last Friday night's football game at Bellevue, Maple Valley Lions upset the Bellevue team. Maple Valley scored first on a safety that was pick­ ed up when the Broncos center snapped the ball over the head of the punter and out of the end zone. Gene Heaton tallied the first Maple Valley touch­ down on an eight yard second quarter run. Heaton scored again in the third quarter on an eight yard pass from quarterback Randy HummeL , Dan Dipert’s extra point run gave the underdog Lions a 16 - 0 lead. Maple Valley’s winning touchdown came in the fourth quarter when Lenny Ackett intercepted a pass on the Bronco nine yard line and took it in for the score. That make the score 22-6 in the fourth quar­ ter. , In the breakdown of individual scoring. Gene Heaton made 133 yards in 27 carries in rushing, with total rushing yardage at 220 yards. In passing, Larry Winegar made 14 attempts with 7 completions for 68 yards. Maple Valley scoring breaks down as follows: A safety was scored when the center from Belle­ vue centered the ball and the kicker stepped out of the end zone. Gene Heaton made two 8 yard runs and Lenny Ackett made a 9 yard pass inter­ ception. Lions defense held Bellevue to only 44 yards on the ground. Outstanding performance by the entire defense r team was noted, with standouts being Ackett, Mike Kenyon. Garry Goris, Ralph Myers and Gary Skid­ more. Weight restrictions set at Quaker Brook bridge Weigfit"restrictions will be imposed soon on the bridge carrying M-66 over Quaker Brook in Nash­ ville, the Department of State Highways said re­ cently. The restrictions limit gross weights of single-un­ it trucks to 40 tons, two-unit trucks to 48 tons and three-unit trucks to 57 tons. The limits are necessary because of normal de­ terioration in the span’s steel beams. The deterio­ ration was noted during a routine inspection. Age of the bridge is unknown. Load limit signs will be posted on the bridge ap­ proaches by December 1 of this year. Wig Show November 3 Members of the Maple Valley Jaycee Auxiliary are busy making plans for their second Wig Show. They held a show last fall and because of its popu­ larity are planning another Show for Monday eve­ ning, November 3rd. A representative from Joseph's Salon, Bellevue, will be presenting this show and will be : showing the various hair pieces available and how to wear rhem and rhe wyling of them. The show will be neld in the cafeteria of the Ma­ ple Valley Junior-Senior High School It will begin at 7:30 p. m. Tickets are available from the Jaycee Auxiliary members or at the door the night of the -A show. Refreshments will be served. eers of Grand Rapids, in special session Thursday evening to go over plans for a new water tower, ex­ tending water and sewer lines. Ed. Reese of the Grand Rapids concern recom­ mended that a 400, 000 gallon water tower be con­ structed, preferably in the southwest part of the vil­ lage. This would be adequate to handle the needs of the community for many years to come. Other recommendations were a ten-incn water main from the new tower to Francis Street, then eight-inch mains,from Casgrove to State: State to Washington, and Washington Street to Lentz Street with four- inch lateral lines hooked onto the eight-inch lines, and finally hooked into the pump station from Washing­ ton Street. Estimated costs touted $174, 000. In the north part of the village it was recommend­ ed an intercepter sewer be installed on the north side of Thornapple River, cross under the river and hook into the present sewer lines. In the south side of town a lift station would undoubtedly have to be installed just east of Main Street and south of Fran­ cis Street, then a sewer line down Durkee Streetand under M-79 and hooked up with the present system. The total estimated cost for all of the work -- wa­ ter tower, water lines and sewer lines--have been set at $284,000. Presently the big hitch is the selling of the bonds, and until some feasible plan comes along, or feder­ al monies become available, it would appear that the whole program is at a sundstilL The cunent bonded indebtedness is $113, 000 for the village. This is the amount left on the sewer plant. Parent-teacher conferences "he first of the semi-annual Parent Teacher Con­ ferences for the Junior-Senior High School will be Thursday and Friday, October 23 and 24 from 12:30 to 4:00 both afternoons.

In the first place I was glad to see that it is not just the kids who are pro testing but it is such people - thinking, mature old­ er people, like Dr. Adams, Governor Milliken, Zoltan Farency and Phil Hart. These people cannot be accused of being hippies and nut kids who don't know what they are doing. •The moratorium and the march to the Capitol in Lansing was one of the most peaceful protests I have ever seen. Some seven thousand people gathered on the lawn in front of the capitol building to lis­ ten to the speeches and to voice their objections to the way things are going with our little war. When they walked away from the place there was not a bit of litter or evidence that so many had been there. When the thing was almost over a bunch of kids got baskets and policed the grounds, picking up all the litter that groups of that size leaves. When the police saw this they decided they were by john boughton not needed there any more and they just quietly left The kids - at least those in Lansing - demonstra­ ted that they could exercise their rights as Ameri­ cans, that tney could object, and gather to hear objections without getting out of hand and without trouble.

Thursday, October 23,-11,969 "" �“^4 National disaster’ EDITOR’S NOTE The following is the talk that Dr. Walter Adams, in East Lansing last Wednesday. The speech so im­ pressed us that we decided to pass it on to you. --Editor — K *■ As always, my remarks this morning are not dic­ tated by Hanoi or Peking or Washington, but by personal conviction and conscience. I shall speak neither about the legality nor the morality of U. S. involvement in Vietnam, but concern myself exclusively with our national self­ interest, I shall assess the war's impact oh thif cdiintfy Ih the clinically dispassionate parlance appro-, priate to cost/benefit calculations, and pose three’ questions: (1) What does the U. S. have to gain from this venture? (2) What is the price we pay? (3) Is the war worth this price? My conclusion will be unmistakable: the Vietnam war is a national disaster, fought for epheneral ends and paid for with a depleted society. Com­ mitment of additional resources will not retrieve this futile investment. Discretion and wisdom, therefore, militate toward immediate disengage­ ment - and the redirection of dur efforts to national priorities which better serve our national interest In this context, as Senator Church of Idaho has said, "Vietnam is a showcase of bankruptcy, a hopeless war fought for insubstantial stakes. As a war for high principle, Vietnam simply does not measure up: The Saigon government is neither a democracy warranting our support on ideological grounds nor a victim of international aggression warranting our support under toe unlteoNations Charter. As an effort to contain Chinese power, the war in Vietnam is irrelevant as well as unsuc­ cessful; even if a Communist Vietnam were to fall under Chinese control, as I do not think it would, the gains to China would be trivial compared with those accruing from her industrialization and ac­ quisition of nuclear weapons. " Let me underscore this point: we. are wasting American lives and American treasure for a piece of real estate worthleu to the defense of America. We are destroying a country in order to save it ostensibly for principles wtuch have no demonstra-ble relation to our national security. We are committing America to a fatal land war in Asia on the assumption that the Vietcbng must be beat­ en in their native boondocks before they can scram­ ble ashore hi Australia or San Francisco - transported there, no1 doubt, by Hanoi's or Peking's invincible sampan navy. ' I say to you without qualification that even if the domino theory were correct - even if the "loss" of Vietnam would mean the Communist conquest of Southeast Asia - which to me is speculative fabrication - I think our current position would be suicidal madness. Like ourselves, the Communists would find this area to be an impqyerished mass ■ of humanity stirred by nationalist aspirations and embroiled in constant revolutionary turmoil--a burden rather than an asset. The lords of Peking, who lack the resources to lift their own country from the depths of underdevelopment, could hard­ ly afford to subsidize the developmental efforts of their potential satellites. . ... . ' Just as conquest of the area would be a Pyrrhic victory for the Chinese, so even a total U. S. vic­ tory would not contribute one iota to the security of our country or its geopolitical posture in the world. Moreover, the cost of attempting such a victory (or even maintaining a stalemate) would exact an intorerable price - not only in casualties and treasure, but in terms of the violence it does to the fabric of American society, the quality of American life, and the validity of the American dream. No nation has unlimited economic, human, in­ tellectual, and spiritual resources. Even such af ­ fluent nations as the United States are not exempt from this universal law. This means that in striv­ ing to achieve its national goals, a country must make choices. It must arrange its objectives in some order of priority - an order which reflects its FEET KILLING YOU? Try Foot-So-Port shoes - the strongest arch and heel support shoes made. value system - Us judgment at to what is more important and what is less important. The nation must then use its resources accourdingly. How long will it take us to learn that the United State! cannot afford to impose or police a pax americana on a global scale - even if it wefe" des­ irable td do so? How much more experience do we need before we understand that we cannot annually divert $30 billions of economic resources as well as our intellectual energies to an irrelevant war on the Asian mainland while also contributing to the defense of Western Europe, conquering the moon, participating in the armaments and missile race, and maintaining a viable and just society at home? A choice between priorities is unavoid­ able: should we indulge ourselves in the ideolog­ ical luxuries of Vietnam--feeding the arrogance that goes with power; or should we put our own house in order--fight the war against poverty, deprivation, despair, and bigotry at home before we attempt to deny an insignificant bit of terri­ tory to Communist ambitions abroad? Focusing on .Americans rational self-interest, the choice would seem too obvious for further debate............................. I believe we can no longer be unmindful of the urgency and extent of America's domestic needsneeds which can overwhelm us just as surely as the threat of external aggression, unless we can find the wherewithal, the ingenuity, and the determin­ ation equal to the challenge. Let us contemplate the domestic needs which are neglected and post­ poned while we blithely squander $30 billion an­ nually on the war in Vietnam. Because of our mistake in Vietnam, we are not building the 6 million housing units which the Riot Commission has recommended for Amer­ ica's ghettos. We cannot afford, it is said, the additional $6 billion to provide compensatory education for deprived and handicapped children. We cannot afford the $L 5 billion to provide the needed manpower training for the hard-core un­ employed. We cannot afford the $5 billion for model cities or the $3 billion for community ac­ tion programs under OEO. We cannot afford the $26 billion needed to rid our rivers and lakes of industrial and municipal waste. We cannot afford to restructure our welfare system through a nega­ tive income tax which would cost some $15 bil­ lion. We cannot afford an efficient urban transit system, a program to combat enviromental pol­ lution, provision for adequate health care, etc. Let me restate the cost of our Vietnam commit­ ment in yet another way. In the last decare, the federal government has spent 3 times more on Vietnam than on medicare and medical assist­ ance, 4 times more than on all levels of education, and 15 times more than on housing and community development. It has spent more on this war than it spent in our entire history on public higher ed­ ucation or police protection. It has spent more on Vietnam in each of the last 3 years than it would cost to operate 350 universities like MSU per year--tuition free, and at no cost to the tax­ payers. This, it seems to me, is not a rational allocation of national resources when our cities are decaying, 35 million Americans are living below the poverty level, our youth is alientated and disillusioned, our society is embittered bj racial strife, and the American spirit is wracked by confusion and doubt. This is not an acceptable performance record, and today's events demon­ strate that the American conscience no longer tolerates it. In conclusion, let me remind you that, in 1789, our Founding Fathers created a new nation "in Order to form a more perfect Union, estab­ lish Justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.

On October 1, for the firn time in history, there was a tax imposed on cigarettes in every state of the union. On October 9, to bring tbe matter closer to home, Gov, Milliken asked the Legislature to raise Mich­ igan's cigarette tax from seven cents to 12 cents perpack. * Tc those who can remember the time when cig­ arettes were two packs for a quarter, tbe prospect of paying that much alone in state taxes on them seems a little drastic. But a 12 cent rate isn't even unusual any more. Iowa was the first state to impose a tax on cigar­ ettes in 1921. Michigan was a relative latecomer to tbe scene, waiting until 1947 to levy the first tax on smokers. Prior to 1947, some 32 states had levied taxes on cigarettes and seven more joined the bandwagon that year. A 12 cent rate would by no means make Michi­ gan the highest taxing state, either. That distinc­ tion belongs to Connecticut, which charges 16 cents for every pack of cigarettes sold there. Other states higher thar. 12 cents are Florida (15#) New Jersey (14#), Oklahoma, Tennessee, Pennsy­ lvania, Minnesota and Rhode Island (13#), and Ar­ kansas (12. 25#). States already charging 12 cents are New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, Maine, Illinois, North and South Dakota and New Mexico. HARE KEEPS TRYING Secretary of State James M. Hare is one of those persons who truly deserves the title "political pro. " He is as astute a politician and has as many con­ tacts as any man in Lansing. Yet, he has one pet project that he has never been able to get the Legislature to go along with. That is a financial disclosure provision for cam­ paigns. . The seven-term officeholder, who is retiring af­ ter the cunent term he is serving expires, is going to make one more try. He served notice on the Legislature he will be after it again next Janharv to enact "total reform of Michigan's financial disclosure laws with par­ ticular emphasis on more effective controls over reporting of political campaign contributions and spending. "A meaningful, effective public disclosure law ' will not only inform the people as it should but will produce the desirable side effect of reducing the cost of politics to permit highly qualified but modestly affluent people to run for office, told them. Hare said the bill be is push! 1 not limit political participation but will the partici­ pants to be open and honest." ' "The effect," be predicted, "will be to foster public respect for politics and politicians. The bill restricts campaign spending to candidates, com­ mittees formed at the candidates’ request, party committees and fund raising committees. "These assorted committees must file a state­ ment of existence and file an accounting of re ceipts and disbursements," he explainer! Hare proposed several other programs at tbe same time which he said the Legislature should pass. Among the more noteworthy of these was a pro­ posal for state conducted driver license examina­ tions. "In Michigan in most instances we have what is known as 'autonomous control' by local police jur­ isdictions, " he said. " With the current system it is virtually impossible to bring about the neces­ sary uniformity in driver licensing. " Hare said Michigan is one of only four states where driver license examinations are not admin­ istered by one state agency. mrs. fredkroger Miss Martha Zemke of Bay City was home over the weekend.

Miss Terri Wells, president of the society, open­ ed the meeting, and following the pledge to the flag and invocation, the high school principal, James Wynes, spoke briefly. Harry Hammond gave a report of his recent trip to the University of Ohio where he attended the Conference on Student Coun­ cils. Students selected to become eligible for mem­ bership in the National Honor Society are chosen by the high school faculty. The significance of the society was explained by Miss Wells and those participating in a candle-light­ ing ceremony. Daniel Betts spoke on "Character; Miss Maureen Viele, "Scholarship;" Riley Garn on "Leadership" and Miss Twilla Marisch on "Service." The National Honor Society advisor, Mrs. Irene Hamp, then presented pins to the new members, Steven Craun, Linda Furlong, James Gann. Harry Hammond, David Liebhauser, Anita Lingholm, Glen Linsley, Julie Sheldon, Anne Staup, Marie Steele, Virgie Trowbridge, Nancy Winnie, Debbie Wright and Danny VanNeste. Up to five percent of the sophomore class may be selected as provisional members, although they have no vote until their junior and senior years. Those chosen as provisional members were introduced, in­ cluding Randy Ames, Teresa Beecher, Bart Bracy, Kathie Briggs, Jodi Gradzinski, Edward Linsley and Steven Stanton. It was back in 1959 that Mrs. Gertrude Montgom­ ery, then guidance instructor in the Nashville W. K. Kellogg High School, organized the first local chap­ ter of National Society, after two years of prepara­ tory work, and was granted the first charter for the Nashville school. In 1966, when the students moved into the new Maple Valley High School (following Fund Drive now 80% At last report, the Nashville Area United Fund had reached a little more than 80% of its $1500 goat There will be some returns to be added to this year's campaign total which will bring the United Fund near the goal.

In special tribute to the efforts of Mrs. Montgom­ ery, she was presented an honorary membership pin by Terri Wells. Mrs. Montgomery taught in both the Vermontville and Nashville schools for many years before retiring in 1965. Construction to begin on sewage lagoon system Construction will get under way soon on a new sewage lagoon system at the Barry County Medical Care Facility, ending two years of study and plan­ ning. Contracts were awarded last Friday by the Barry County Board of Supervisors and the Hastings Town­ ship Board to Holwerda Heating & Plumbing Co. of Wyoming, Michigan. A bid of $81, 876. 28 was lowest of five bids sub­ mitted for the project, and work is expected to be completed by the spring of 1970. The social services board and the supervisors have been seeking a solution to the inadequate sewage system at the medical care facility since state health officials notified the county in 1967 that, is the present system were not repaired or replaced, the county faced the possibility of having to close the facility because of pollution to the Tnornapple Riv­ er. The township board agreed several months ago to act as the body through which the project will be financed in the amount of $110, 000. The supervisors' finance and property committee is expected to meet with state jail officials and ar­ chitects in Lansing on November 17 for a planning session for the construction of a lockup systems for the county. Barty County has been without jail fa­ cilities since 1964 when state officials condemned the county's lockup system. Since then prisoners have been housed in the Eaton County jail at $35,000 annually. State legislation passed in June requires all coun­ ties presently without jail facilities to provide a 48­ hour lockup complex. Board chairman Robert Lyons told supervisors that the committees will meet with Robert Russell, Mich­ igan jail inspector, and a representative of the Daverman Architects to make plans for the construc­ tion of a minimal jail here in the near future. Senior Class presents "Hold the Phone” " Hold the Phone" is the title of the senior class play to be presented in the auditorium of the Ma­ ple Valley High School Thursday and Friday, No­ vember 20 and 21. The story concerns Bob Brantley, "Bashful Bob" who has a bad case of femalephobia. Two days af­ ter arriving in the' big city he gets himself engaged. Mrs. Whitson’s roommg house becomes the "house of romance. " Bob writes a note--to the wrong girL This leads to complications. The rooming house guests go to a picnic. Bob dives into the swimming pooL What results! All seems lost. The closing scene of the play is one of the most humorous and unusual bits of comedy seldom seen in amateur plays. Directing the students is Mrs. Greta Firster who is using a different cast each night. The part of Bob Brantley is played by Kenneth Foote on Thurs­ day night and Rick Spitzer on Friday; Mrs. Whit­ son by Valerie Wheaton and Terrie Goris; Nancy Starling by Terri Wells and Patty Barlond; Gerald­ ine Monks by Maureen Viele and Cathy Mix; Goldie Eichelberger by Sandra Foote and Teresa Wells; Jack Miller by Allen Stewart andjim Ham­ mond; Bill Reynolds by Bob Beecher who handles the role both evenings; Judy Long by Dorothy Downing and Linda Wright; Lil Graham, Lucy Ben­ edict and Debra Barnes; Hogan, by Riley Garn (both nights).

Oct. 21, 1969 Maple Valley News A-soft hearted friend of mine was driving down a highway the other day when he saw a little dog chas­ ing cars. This little dog would chase a car in one di­ rection as far as she could and then would wait in the middle of the road for another car going in the other direction to chase that awhile. Since this was in the middle of the woods up north, my friends concluded that the little dog was lost or had been put out of a car and was trying to pick up a ride. So friend stopped his car and opened the door and the little,dog jumped right in with him. He took her to the local sheriff's-office, told the officer the story and left the dog there to be picked up by her people. A couple of days later, friend went back to see if the doc had been claimed. She had not and the sher­ iff’s officer explained that he would have to do away with the little thing that very day if she was -not claimed. So soft-hearted friend took the dog with him back to his apartment in Detroit. The rules of the building are: no pets, but friend has got by so far by taking me dog to work with him and letting jjer sleep in the car while he works. He goes out every couple of hours to let her out and to feed her a snack. In the meantime he has put an advertisement in the weekly paper closest to the place he found the dog in the hope that — the who own her will claim-her. . JR ar .people . If this does not happen, soft-hearted friend has a dog, and the popr little 4°8- may have to spend her, entire life sleeping in a car. Such is life. Children in Barry County schools will again have the opportunity to nave their vision screened. This program is conducted by the. Barry-Eaton District Health Department in cooperation with the Michi­ gan Department of Public Health and various school systems. Children in grades 1-3-5-7-9-11 and those referred by teachers as suspected of having difficul­ ty seeing, will be tested by Mrs. Martha Stamm, vision Technician. Preliminary screening will be followed by a retest at a later date. If both tests are failed, letters will be sent home to parents recom­ mending an examination by an eye doctor. November 10 is the date set for the Nashville screening. Dear Sirs: The change of the name of the old home town paper, doesn't make it sound like your referring to Nashville as its been Nashville News all the time I grew up there at Maple Grove. I was reading the Saranac Advertiser (which is Arthur's home town) I saw a nice little poem in there so thought I'd pass it on to you. We always look for the paper to come. Of course, there are so many new folks around town and on thd farms now with the passing of our relatives and friends up there. It sure is changing. Maybe we'll have to admit, not so young any­ more.

Michigan has more children per 1000 population to educate than any neighboring state or than the US average. Concerned Michigan citizens are being heard around not only our state but our nation a s well. Debates ail over our state are increasing in tempo as the extra fall legislative session on school finance and organization meets in Lansing. Sound information is needed to study all the "platforms” and claims presented by tax protest groups through­ out Michigan. Are you prepared to discuss and to answer intelli­ gently the following 5 main issues of the debate. - At what spending level do we want to support public education in Michigan? - What should be taught? Who should teach it? How should it be taught? When should it be taught? What will it cost? - What mix of taxes do we want to use or whowil pay? - Do we want a public school system in which there is equal opportunity for a good education? - Should private schools receive more public sup­ port? You may become so confused by the claims and counter claims made in the great debate that you will lose sight of the main issues pointed out above. The Cooperative Extension Service is sponsoring a "town meeting" open to any resident of Michigan to learn more about the issues involved in the school tax protest so much in today's news. This meeting is open to anyone who feels a great need to ask questions and have questions answered about where his school tax money goes. Groups of citizens will be meeting in Barry,-Ionia and Montcalm Counties together with Dr. Alvin House, Extension Specialist in Economics to discuss and explore the predominate issues of school taxes facing taxpayers today. In Hastings on Tuesday, November 4th, at 7:30 p. m. at the Barry County Community Center on the Fairgrounds; in Ionia on Wednesday, November 5th at 1:00 p. m. Buys new police cruiser The Nashville village council opened bids on a new police cruiser at its regular session Thursday evening. Of the four bids submitted the lowest was from Dewey's Car Palace in Delton, and was ac­ cepted. The bid, including a trade in was for $2000. Other bids were from Del Adams of Lake Odessa for $2, 845; Hastings Motor Sales, $2f 450, and Smith & Doster of Delton for $2,190. It will probably be a month before the new cruiser arrives. The State Highway Department has imposed weight regulations on the bridge across Quaker Greek on Nashville's Main Street. Regulations are for 40 tons on a one-unit vehicle; 48 tons on a twounit, and 57 on a three-unit. Signs will be posted by the State Department. The village requested Consumers Power to re­ move a pole from the parking area back of Maker's Market, at no cost to the village, and also voted to make the street to the parking lot one way going west. This will lesson the congestion of traffic in this area. The one-way traffic will go into effect as soon as the pole is removed. The village is considering purchasing the old Flo theater building just north of the village hall and tearing it down. The proposal will be carefully studied before any action is taken. President Harold Christiansen gave a review of the meeting of the Michigan Public Service Com­ mission, school officials and village officials held at the Sherman and Reed Street rauroad crossings on Thursday, October 16. The Commission will undoubtedly put their suggestions and/or require­ ments in writing and then the council will take action. In the absence of the village clerk, Mrs. Ada ■Skedgell, Stewart Graham acted as clerk pro-tern. ' Zoning Administrator Judd Cooley reported that Felix Bryan is remodeling the old brick house near the old ball diamond into an apartment house. Police Chief Kendall Wilcox, in his report to the council, stated there had been one arrest for driving while under the influence of liquor, one for drunk and driving, three moving violation tickets were issued and there had been a number of illegal parking tickets giv,en. Free immunization clinic The Barry Eaton District Health Department will hold its free immunization clinic for children in its offices in Pennock Hospital on Monday, November 3, 1969 from 9:00 to 11:00 a. m. A concerted statewide effort is underway to p r e vent an expected widespread epidemic of three-day measles in 1970. This will be done by immunizing all the children in grades K through 3, not so much to prevent these youngsters from having the disease, but to prevent its spread to their possibly pregnant mothers where records show a high precenuge of deformed babies following the infection in the mother. Your local health department is going to be i n volved in carrying out this program and plans to do this right in the schools. The vaccine, to be furnished by the state, will not be available in this area until about January 1, so that present plans indicate a mid-January pro­ gram in Barry and Eaton Counties.

The parents of the couple are Mr. and Mrs. Karl Pufpaff and Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Sixberry, both of Nashville. Two large bouquets of bronze and yellow m u ms flanked the altar and the altar bouquet was of large bronze and smaller white and yellow mums. Mrs. Robert Pfaff at the organ played the tradi­ tional wedding music and accompanied Miss Linda Fassett, cousin of the bride, who sang "Whither Thou Goest" and the "Lords Prayer." The bride, escorted to the altar by her father, wore a princess line floor length gown of white chantilly lace over satin with long fitted sleeves and high stand-up collar. Her shoulder length veil of illusion net was held in place by a small crown of seed pearls. The bridal bouquet was three large white orchids on dark green foliage. Mrs. Boyd Pufpaff, sister-in-law of the bride, was maid of honor and Miss Pamela Pufpaff, sister of the bride, was a bridesmaid. They wore identical floor length gowns of gold taffeta, styled similar to the bridal gown. A large bow and net to match the gowns, formed their head pieces. Their bouquets were yellow and white mums tied with gold ribbon. Joe Harp, brother-in-law of the groom, served as best man and helped Boyd Pufpaff, Brother of the bride, usher the guests. For her daughter's wedding, Mb. Pufpaff chose a beige linen dress with beige lace yoke and sleeves with dark brown accessories. The groom's mother wore a teal blue linen sheath with fawn accessories. Both of their corsages were small white orchids. Miss Dawn Sixberry, sister of the groom, was at the guest book and helped another sister, Mrs. Joe Harp, open and display the gifts. Mr. and Mis.

Weight restrictions set Weight restrictions will be imposed soon on the bridge carrying M-66 over Quaker Brook in Nash­ ville, the Department of State Highways said re­ cently. The restrictions limit gross weights of single-un­ it trucks to 40 tons, two-unit trucks to 48 tons and three-unit trucks to 57 tons. The limits are necessary because of normal de­ terioration in the span's steel beams. The deterio­ ration was noted during a routine inspection. Age of the bridge is unknown. Load limit signs will be posted on the bridge ap­ proaches by December 1 of this year.

WOODARD S MOBIL SERVICE 852-9541 NEWS REPORT FROM THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT CLASSES GRETA FBISTER Have you studied the Governor's proposed educa­ tion bill? If proposed legislation: is passed, estate Committee will be established to draw the guidelines for the reorganization of school districts. The pro­ posals that are developed by this committee will then go to the local boards of education for action on possible reorganization by the local boards. I f further reorganization is necessary through state leg­ islation, then the people should have more opportun­ ity to vote on possible reorganization. Local boards of education could be placed in a very difficult po­ sition if they are in disagreement with the state com­ mittee's recommendations or proposals. We in Maple Valley have no idea what would hap­ pen to us. We have 1918 students K-12. Presently the commission asks that a district have a minimum of 2000 students. A fast growing district might b e left intact although not having an enrollment now of 2000 students. The Governor has proposed a single formula state aid program for next year. We now operate under a two formula program. Maple Valley has $7100 be­ hind each student. Under the new proposed formula we would receive $27. 50 more per student than now. A school district with $13,000 behind each student would receive approximately $62. 00 under the new plan for next year. This certainly does not promote more equal opportunity when some of the rich could get richer and the poor poorer. It is also felt that consideration must be given a more fair and equal system of assessment of property. This could mean tne elimination of the local assessor and this func­ tion being'handled through state employed officials. It is now proposed that a flat levy of 16 mills be lev­ ied for school support. This does not include any tax­ es needed to pay bonded debts. For the residents of the Maple*Valley school district, the present pro­ posal does not offet any property relief as far as tax­ ation. A new five cent a package cigarette tax would al­ so go for educational costs. An increase of 1. 9 per­ cent increase on income tax would go for education. Possibly other tax increases would also be necessary. The fast rising cost of our welfare program must al­ so be cons.tiered when we are considering additional tex revenues that are needed. A state wide testing program in grades 1,2,4,7 ■ and 10 would be part of a new assessment program of educational progress in the basic skills of students in reading and mathematics. Also, an enrichment program could be possible through an additional three mill vote of the people. -It seems.as though - this program is primarily centered around the larger school systems primarily located In the eastern part Now if you Approve or Disapprove these proposed bills by which more control is given the state; write, call, or telegraph your State Legislator at once. Barry County, Stanley Powell. House of Represen­ tatives, Lansing; Eaton County, Dale Warner, House of Representatives, Lansing, and Barry and Eaton Counties, Harry Demaso, Michigan Senate, Lansing. If the proposed reorganization bills are approved, it is the intent of the governor's commission to make use of all existing school buildings. This might be somewhat difficult considering the distance involved in some rural areas and transportation problems in­ volved. State aid to non-public schools is also included in the program. However, the proposed legislation does not say anything about a minimum size for the non­ public schooL It is proposed that the state board of education be eliminated, and a director of education would be ap­ pointed by the Governor with the approval of the Senate. Presently the people vote for the state board of education. The 60 intermediate school districts would be reorganized into from 10 to 15 regional school districts. The main purpose and responsibilities of the reg­ ional director would be the approval of the budgets for the operating K-12 districts within the region, total transportation program, date processing, spec­ ial education, vocational and technical training, central purchasing, and curriculum consultant work. A major problem here could be the large geographi­ cal size of each of the regional districts in the outstate area. Some have indicated that there would be only one regional district in the upper peninsula, but no regional district boundaries have been decided at this time. Another area of concern could easily be the amount of decision making that would be left to the individual board of education in relationship to the decisions being made at the regional office. Regional vocational centers within reasonable trans­ portation distance would be of great educational val­ ue to students who desire to enroll in more trade type courses. These students would also probably take the basic academic courses in the local area schooL If the proposed bills are passed, a major responsi­ bility would be the detailed method of getting a bud­ get approved for operational purposes. A budget would be prepared by each K-12 district and submit­ ted for approval by the regional director. After the budget is approved at the regional level along with the regional office budget, the next approval would be necessary at the state leveL After approval at the state level, the local district would know the a­ mount of funds available for operation. This process could take a great deal of time meaning that b u d gets would have to be prepared several months in advance. The local, school district would have to prepare a budget following specific directives and numerical values as set up by the state director of education. Channel 10 news said this bill would either fail or pass by the first of this November. It would definite­ ly seem that far more time will have to be involved if the legislators are going to completely study this educational reform package in detaiL A meeting will be held in the Junior-Senior High School Library on November 4, 1969 at 8:00 p. m. to discuss possible courses to be offered over a ten week period.

Evenings were ta­ ken up wiur receptions, slide shows of participants' institutions and late night discussions. In all, the participants attended 15 classes on a wide range of subjects and visited 15 museums or related facilities, during the crowded two weeks. Mr. Versteeg says it is hard to describe what ex­ actly was learned tn a few words. In fact, he says the time went by so fast he will have to review his notes for the main ideas for his own information. He also said be shared the only two-man room in the group and thus the evening sessions were usually in his room. He missed a lot of sleep that way. Most of the participants and many of the faculty mem­ bers (who came from as far away as the students: California, British Columbia, Florida) stayed in the same hotel a block from the state capitol in Albany. Mrs. Versteeg and their son John accompanied Mr, Versteeg to Albany where they met Mrs. Versteeg's parents from Maine. Mickle and John spent the two weeks of the seminar with her parents, visiting her brother's family in Virginia Beach, Virginia and re­ newing old acquaintances in Augusta, Maine. Thus while Mr. Versteeg drove 1500 miles to attend the seminar, Mrs. Versteeg and their son traveled well over twice that far during the same period.

Those wishing to contribute to this fund may do so by writing a check payable to the Vermontville Historical Society Memorial Fund and mail it to the secretary of the Vermontville Historical Society Vermontville, Michigan. 49096. The fitst to make a contribution to this fund was Mrs. Harry Kinney, nee Doris Miles, in memory of her late parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lee Miles who lived in this area. Honor Roll The following list is made up of Maple Valley students who were placed on the honor roll for the first six weeks of the current school year. One of the best ways to learn about museum work is by doing it. And one of the best ways to learn a­ bout items from the past is by working with them. An ancient craft may seem much more alive after working with the tools of that craft. Such work may even lead to a lifetime interest or hobby. The Barry County Museum in Charlton Park offers volunteer catalogers their choice of collections af­ ter they have completed one of the classes in muse«sna cataloging. Volunteers will also individually schedule their work to best fit their schedules. SENIORS: Laurine Fox and Maurene Viele, all A's.

Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, November 6, 1969 852-9269 �National Education Week School in Action Day - November 12 To celebrate National Education Week, Maple Valley's Junior-Senior High School is urging all M V citizens to attend scltool on Wednesday, Novem­ ber 12, from 9 a. m, to 3 p. m. to see the School in Action. High school classes, materials, study area, a t mospnere and student activities will be easy to see and enjoy if you come while school is in session. Profile School in Action Day is a first experiment for ev­ eryone so school personnel hope for a successful ven­ ture. Mon people have not seen classes in action since leaving school themselves. Changes, equip­ ment and methods are exciting these days, so bring friends and see for yourselves. Senior Citizens and other interested people who need transportation may call the following people who will be glad to arrange rides: REX BALCH DIALOG WITH YOUTH There has been a lot of talk lately about the gen­ eration gap and about the fact that we elders, the establishment, authorities, call it what you may, must make an effort to communicate with the younger generation. The Maple Valley News, in an effort to bridge that generation gap, intends to interview teachers in our school system, the people who are closest to our young people - and who indeed are m e m ben of the young group themselves often, to a t tempt to establish a better understanding with our greatest resource, the youth of today who will be the estaolishment of tomorrow. ' Mr. 'Rex Balch, one of the newer teachers in the Maple Valley System, gave us a few minutes of his time to answer our questions and share with us some of his personal views on education and young peo­ ple. ’ Rex Balch teaches 4-6 a nd 8th grades in the Maple Valley Schools. He also helps out with foot­ ball and basketball coaching duties. Mr. Balch has taught in our school system for the past two years. Previous to coming here, he was a teacher in the Romeo system. Mr. Balch went to school in metro­ politan Detroit and he was graduated from high school «t Fraser, a Detroit suburb. Ms. Balch, who was graduated from Western Michigan University in 1964, also attended college in Tennessee. Mr. Balch and his wife, Stephanie, have two boys going to the Maple Valley schools. Bryan is in the second grade and Brett is in kindergarten. The Balches live in Vermontville. QUESTION: This is your second year here, is that right? t ANSWER: Yes. „ QUESTION: And what are the subjects you're teach­ ing? ANSWER: iWER: This year I have Remedial Reading for .. 5th ... and. ... —.• -------—and the 4th, 6th grades here at— Kellogg andinin the afternoon I have 8th grade history in the Junior High School. Last year I had just 5th and 6thgrades. z QUESTION: I have heard that you say the learning process should be fun. Just how do you go about making it fun? What are your ideas along this line? ANSWER: I feel if the kick want to do something, if they want to come to school, that's half the bat­ tle. If we can make it fun to come tp school, then the kids are going to learn; they're going to want to work and learn. In elementary school, I often take the first three or four weeks of school and we play games that are educational like password and spelling games. I take the kids down to the gym to play basketball. They don't want to miss school because there are different things to do. After a while they begin to want to please me with the things they do, by doing their homework, of course, they do good in school. By being good, they have fun. . When I was in Romeo, 1 was asked: "What can you do to make school fun" ? I think it's just liking QUESTION: How do you feel that our school, as a whole, reacts to this particular philosophy? Is there a comment on this? ANSWER: I'll get back to Romeo, because I taught there four years. One of the things they did there which’ they don't do here is this. On the first day of school they had all the parents come in. For in­ stance. the 5th grade parents of my class would come in and sit in a group for an hour and I would tell them my philosophy and the things that I in­ tended to do and the ends and the goals that 1 hope I ____for JMl to reach the year. In this w»>y there wasn't any confusion or misunderstanding about what I was go­ ing to do. At Maple Valley, they didn't have this special meeting and, of course, I didn't change m; teaching techniques. 1 still tried to make the learn fog process fun. This caused an area of misunder­ standing between the parents and me. 11 me they couldn'1 toward school had ir Vermontville -- Mrs. Robert Halsey (p. m. only) 726-0168; Mrs. Larry Musser (p. m. only) 726-0554; Mrs. Charles Cornish (9:00-11:00) 726-0085.

Plan time to walk the halls and visit over a cup of coffee with faculty and students. tfoally. I have tried to point out to the parents that if they will let me work with the students, they would see good results. I guarantee good results. QUESTION: What do you think should be the rela' ship between the student in elementary and juntionsl ligh and their teachers? Should the teacher not for hig ___ -- >_____ ?--- rj be a good disciplinarian? WER: Befog experienced in elementary and also ANSWER: experienc bing eighth grade and having been a football basketball coach for four years. I've dealt with all age level of kids. Definitely there is a dif­ ferent type of attitude the teacher should have, de­ pending upon where be is teaching. I know in ele­ mentary school you can become closer to the kids, - more like a father image. You can share a lot of their problems with them because you see them all the day. As you move on into the junior highschool, you only have them in the same class for maybe 55 minutes. You can't be the type of person under both circumstances. You can be a friend but you have to have discipline. I think if the kids know they can go so far, you can say, "Stop, that's it!" this is where discipline comes in. QUESTION: Would you say that the methods of teaching have changed much in the last ten years? ANSWER: This is only my sixth year of teaching I had four years in Romeo and two years here, and I know in just the six years I have been teaching, the methods of presenting material to the kids and the different types of mechanical helps such as tape re­ corders and other aides teachers can use have chang­ ed greatly, as have trends in thinking. Many of the old teachers or older people can remember that the teachers used to walk around with the hickory stick and you had to learn your reading, writing and a­ rithmetic. Now we’re not so much interested in learning facts. Facts are important, but more im­ portant, are how to handle the facts, how to solve the problems, the everyday problems. They should want to answer problems. We want kids to think better and to want to answer the questions. The answer is important but not as important as the proc­ esses of getting to that answer. I think one of the things that we have been try­ ing in Sth grade is to get the students involved more, getting the student to talk more. I don't think the teacher has to talk all the time. I think the kids learn a lot more if they have to participate. The first year I taught, I thought I had to do all thetaiking. The second year.about 50 percent of the time I talked and 50 percent they talked;in the last three years they have done most of the talking and I think the kids learned a lot more and had more fun than by having me lecturing. QUESTION: How do you think kids in the Maple Valley school compare with other schools in the bigger cities? Do you think our children are getting as good an education in the Maple Valley School system as in the Grosse Pointe or Birmingham school systems? ANSWER: I really think they are. I am familiar with both the Grosse Pointe and the Birmingham systems. Of course, there are some differences. For one thing, teacher salaries are higher in that area. The person who goes into teaching for the money only will naturally try to gravitate to such a system. For another thing, they do have more money behind each student in those areas. They have much 1 n the way of teacher aides that Maple Valley cannot afford such as tape recorders, television.... these things help teachers but they do not make good teachers. So far as quality of teachers goes, I am sure, there are no better teachers than we have here. QUESTION: How far do you think the school author­ ities should go in determining such things as the way students dress and wear their hair? • ANSWER: From the point of view of a coach, I think the boys on the basketball team are represent- fog the school and are looked upon as the athletes of the school, and, of course, long sideburns and long hair are the style now, but one of the things that we tell the boys is that their sideburns have to be trimmed and their hair has to be short, not in their eyes and they know this before they come out, so there's no problem. As for the dress code, I think they are handling it right tike way they have it set up. There's no set dress code; I know they talk a­ QUESTION: Do you think the teachers can maintain bout anything that Is distracting from the educa­ the proper discipline in the classes and still be look­ tional atmosphere in the classroom. Of course, this ed upon by the students as one of the good guys? Is gives a lot of leeway. I'm sure more problems this possible? Is this hard to do? would arise out of not having a dress code. I think , ANSWER: Well, I think a lot of new teaches, and I they are handling it right, here at Maple Valley. classify myself as a new teacher • new teachers com­ ing out of college who are young and teach high QUESTION: What do you think parents can do to school want to be like the high school kids. There improve the education of their children? What can is not much difference in age. So they think by al­ we do, as parents, to help the teachers? lowing the students to call the teacher by the first ANSWER: The big thing, of course, is to have an name or being real friendly with them, this is going interest in your child's education and in what he is to help them with the kids. It isn't, because the doing in school. By this 1 mean a genuine interest, kids have to respect the teacher. They may respect not just a casual one.

The speaker of the evening was Mrs. Wilbui Wil­ liams, who is district director for the Youth for Un­ derstanding exchange student organization. She sta­ ted that this program has grown from 28 participants in 1951 to between 3,000 and 4,000 this year. It has become an inter-racial organization. There are five phases of this program which include the visit of a foreign students in an American home for one year, an American student abroad for two months during the summer, a six months stay of a Larin A­ merican student in an American home, the 13th year abroad for an American high school graduate and the Y. F. U. Chorale of seventy students who tour South America in concert during the summer. The purpose of the program is understanding. She brought out that many times; a foreign student has a better understanding of his own country when he goes home due to the many questions he is asked to answer here. Then in return the student takes home a true picture of the average American which he has learned from living close to us. Any group may help sponsor a student either to go to a country or one who is visiting here. The spon­ soring family has to furnish food and lodging and many times the extras such as school pictures and rings. This could be an area where a local organi­ zation could be of help. Hobby Show being held The Lansing Craft and Hobby Show and Sale will' be held at the Lansing Civic Center from noon until 10 p. m. on November 13, 14 and 15.

Harry Laurent, reports that checks are still coming to the treasurer, Mrs. Nelson Brumm. Little by lit­ tle the goai is being reached. Gratitude is express­ ed to those persons whose territory had no volunteer this year and yet cared enough to help otheB in the United way. Remember that some of the health agencies in which most of the local people have some penonal interest are: The Arthritis Foundation, Michigan Heart Association, Michigan Kidney Foundation, Children's Lukemia Foundation of Michigan, (furnish­ es blood for children and adulu plus other services), Leader Dogs for the Blind, Michigan Diabetes Associ­ ation and others. Local funds are not to be forgotten which are in­ cluded. There is still an opportunity to share in this United project that benefits so many in so many ways.

Nov. 7.1969 imo’0* backstreet barometer by john boughton The plight of ignorance that made Chicken-Little a classic figure in children's literature is still, i n this enlightened age, a condition which is not u n common. We are all mote or less ignorant regard­ ing marten of more or less importance. When Chicken-Little ran and cried, "The sky is falling! I'm going to tell the King!" there was quick enlistment of gullible believers in the frenzied er­ rand. The cry was heard; the cry was believed;the pip-squeak's call of alarm was given credence with­ out question. Being creatures of a high order, we charitably view with amusement the misguided spread erf alarm engendered by Chicken-Little, Henny-Penny, DuckyLucky, and the rest. Hardly amusing, however, is a present-day local rumor: "The Mausoleum is Fall-,, ing Down!" The mausoleum in Nashville's Lakeview Ceme­ tery is a sound structure. The roof was resurfaced last summer. Next year, the interior walls will be refinished. It is doubtful that any one of Chicken-Little's des­ cendants should be blamed for the fallacious rumor. Probably, the mausoleum has never been seen by any chicken. One might suppose that a garrulous descendant of Squirrely-Whirly started the alarm. * ' re is no evidence to support that supposition, fact remains: the mausoleum is NOT falling down!

November 13, 1969 �School Board meeting held The Board of Education of the Maple Valley School district Monday evening, heard recommendations made concerning the two railroad crossings within the Nashville village limits in a letter from the Pub­ lic Service Commission of the State Department of Commerce. For the Penn Central railroad crossing on East Reed Street, it was recommended that a track-activated side-of-street flashing light signals be installed. For ' the Sherman Street crossing it was suggested improve­ ments might be made in the physicalcrosstng and the replacement of antiquated crossbuck by modern signing. The Reed Street crossing has been a matter of con­ cern since 1963, after original complaint by the Ma­ ple Valley schools, and has been the subject of num­ erous inspections and surveys. The Sherman Street crossing was called to the attention of the State De­ partment in April of this year. The two crossings han­ dle two scheduled Penn Central trains daily, one in each direction, at allowed speeds of 30 miles per hour. Vehicular traffic at the Reed Street is now es­ timated at upwards of 1,000 each 24 hours, based on partial counts. Peak traffic reaches 156 vehicles In a single hour. School bus crossings total 25 on each school day, transporting about 850 children. The school and school transportation officials ate still highly critical of roadway approaches over the “S“ curve. While the crossing angle has been es­ tablished at approximately 90 degrees by road re-a­ lignment, the curves approaching the crossing have been made so abrupt thar school bus drivers state they are unable to remain in their own lanes. Growth ob­ struction to visibility of approaching the crossing has also been a problem.

It was recommended by t he Public Service Commission that this be allowed to remain for what value it might have, pending mod­ ernization of the automatic protection at some fu­ ture time. It was recommended, however, that mod­ em reflectorized crossbucks be installed and that 36inch reflectorized advance warning signs be install­ ed in normal locations on all three approaches to the crossing, two on Sherman Street and one on Lentz Street. (Lentz Street dead-ends at Sherman). No 24-hour traffic count was available at the Sher­ man Street crossing, but at peak periods the traffic has been estimated at approximately 60 vehicles per hour. There are three school bus crossings each school day, carrying a total of approximately 160 children. The Sherman Street crossingnow consists of two tracks, one of which is active and one which has been stubbed on both sides of the street. It was recommended that the stubbed track be removed and the street surface properly replaced, and that the crossing of the active track be properly repaired or replaced, whichever is necessary. It was also agreed and recommended that the crossing a­ larm bell remain, but that it be relocated by a few feet to avoid it being an obstruction to traffic in turn maneuvers between Sherman and Lentz Streets. Other portions of the letter stated: “While vehicle­ vehicle collisions are not a primary matter within the jurisdiction of this Commission, a basic hazard and matter of concern is created by the possibility of such an accident at a railroad crossing. A vehicle, especially a school bus, damaged in proximity to a railroad track becomes vulnerable to even more hazard in event of train approach........... "Tentative plans were made at the April, 1969, inspection for sufficient widening and adjustment of the centerline of Reed Street on both approaches to this crossing to satisfy the requirements of school authorities. It was agreed and recommended that village and school authorities would cooperate in detailed engineering of the project. It was also re­ commended that upon completion of the plans the railroad would extend its crossing to the extent nec­ essary over the traveled portion of the roadway. "As of the inspection now reported, no progress has been made- in improvement of approaches. "It is also noted that there appeared less than full compatibility between the village and school offic­ ials present at the various inspections...........“ At the time of the last regular council meeting no letter from the commission had been received. In other business at Monday night's session Supt. Carroll Wolff reported that the new furniture has been delivered for the classrooms at Maplewood, and at Fuller Street Elementary. Folding tables at the Kellogg School should be received by the mid­ dle of the month. Wallace Graham was again named as the legisla­ tive representative, Schalaw Rambler does not desire to continue with the school car program. No plans for the immediate future were taken, but Supt. Wolff was asked to make inquiries with other automobile concerns for a car for driver education classes. The response to the adult education classes was not too encouraging. Ed. Sampson, however, will continue to try to cfevelop more interest in classes for this year. The board approved the three-day measles (Ru­ bella) vaccine immunization program for all chil­ dren in grades Kindergarten through the third by the Barry-Eaton District Health Department. Cnris King reported on work for remodeling the bus garage at Nashville and improving the heating system. The Barry County Department of Social Services would like all schools to adopt a policy whereby children from direct relief and ADC families be a­ ble to present their Medical Assistance card where­ by they can obtain used school books without charge to the family. However, the Maple Valley Board did not feel the policy was justifiable in approving a blanket policy. In the past they have considered fevery case on an individual basis; regarding whether ■ or not they might be receiving any aid from the county, and voted to continue this method. The Jaycees, who are sponsoring the Explorer Scouts, asked permission to erect a target shoot and skeet shoot on high school land for an event on Sat­ urday, November 22. The board voted it down. Warren Ison was given permission to take the de­ bate team to Toledo, Ohio, December 20 for a tournament The Board discussed various phases of the "Edu­ cational Reform Package and bills, " and asked Supt Wolff to state their recommendations in a letter to Stanley Powell. The Board approved some changes in lighting of seven rooms at me Fuller Street and seven rooms at the Maplewood Schools. The resignation of Mix.

They would apply for some of the construction funds from a fed­ eral program which seems available. A major con­ cern is the sharing of operational costs. Thus the committee is contacting schools and community or­ ganizations. It is the intention of the committee now that the facility would be available to the area schools for instructional purposes during regular school day. The Maple Valley Board is interested in further information and will check further, probably inviting a committee member to meet with them at a future board meeting. New ticket prices for all athletic games was ap­ proved by the hoard. They were recommended by high school principal, Jim Wynes. The prices are in keeping with other area schools, and will go in­ to immediate effect. This year the Maple Valley School has 12 students involved in the Co-Op program. The major purpose of Co-Op is to provide m-school youths with some basic competencies in selected occupations, and was organized last year. The program is designed • primarily for seniors. Lyman Baker, who is inchaige of the program this year, is to be invited to attend the next regular board meeting to evaluate the pro­ gram.

CHURCH WOMEN UNITED HOLD WORLD COM­ MUNITY DAY Church Women United adopted new by-laws at their meeting last Thursday, November 6, and in­ cluded a change in their name — to Church Wom­ an United in Barry County, instead of "the Hastings Area. " The occasion was the observance of World Com­ munity Day at Hope United Methodist Church i n Hastings for a morning coffee with the Rachel Cir­ cle as hostesses. Church women from all corners of Barry County brought in their special projects to be sent out to areas of need here and abroad by Church . World Service: about 250 yards of cotton material (this collection of yard goods sparked by a "Mile of Style" project of Middleville United Methodist Church), new layettes and children's clothing for Asia, leper bandages, and gifts of money to pur­ chase 92 blankets. Mn. Delmond Culler of rural Nashville was chairman for the day's program which had the em­ phasis "Christians in International Development. " Mrs. Leon West was organist, and Mrs. Culler led the worship service on the theme, To Whom Much is Given, " assisted by Mrs. Claude Ridley, Mrs. Arthur Heisler, Mrs. David Otto, Mrs. Robert Shan­ non, Mrs. Howard Ferris, Mrs. Wesley Logan and Mrs. Willard Curtis. Mrs. John R. Steketee of Grand Rapids spoke most inspirationally and yet in a constructively unsettling way on the topic, "It's About Time!" She said as she looked at Christian women she saw women who are 1. Shocked; 2, basically, if we would admit it, too lazy to commit ourselves; 3, understanda­ ble afraid at the rapid and revolutionary changes taking place in the world today. "It's aoout time," she said, "for church women to move out of our comfortable Christian cocoon and do more than stay in our own circles with peo­ ple of the same mind, showing concern only by sending love and prayer and boxes of clothing I We need, by study and action, to meet head-on the basic issues of social and economic justice, to help make things right in the harsh world. " This will be jolting and uncomfortable, but to quote from the Book of Esther as Mrs. Steketee did at tjie close of her talk, "Who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"

Measles vaccine program A concerted statewide effort is underway to pre­ vent an expected widespread epidemic of three-day measles in 1970. This will be done by immunizing all the children in grades K through 3, not so much to prevent these youngsters from having the disease, but to prevent its spread to their possibly pregnant mothers where records show a high ■ precentage of deformed babies following the infection in the mother. Your local health department is going to be in­ volved in carrying out this program and plans to do this right in the schools. Tbe vaccine, to be furnished by the state, will not be available in this area until about January 1, so that present plans indicate a mid-January pro­ gram in Barry and Eaton Counties. ‘Hold The Phone Senior Play November 20 - 21 HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM 8:00 O’CLOCK STUDENTS 50# ADULTS 76# JUST A COMPLETE ELEVATOR & ‘ FEED SERVICE FOR YOU IV.

Many Michigan residents traveling to the north country before the holidays, such as deer hunters, continue this nostalgic tradition. However, transportation of Christmas trees, and evergreen bougte is illegal in Michigan without a bill of sale or proof of property ownership. Provisions of the law are spelled out by the Michigan Depart­ ment of Agriculture. During December, an exception to the law permits transportation of not more than two trees without a bill of sale, if they were legally obtained. Necess­ ary legal forms are available from the Lansing and regional offices of Michigan Department of Agricul­ ture, State Police Posts, county extension offices and county sheriffs.

Competes automotive course NUMBER 26 The Maple Valley Board of Education was includ­ ed in a recent survey relative to reorganization of local school districts. The question, sponsored by the Onekama Consolidated schools and Bear Lake schools asked, "Does your board of education be­ lieve that school district reorganization is the ans­ wer to your school problems?* The Maple Valley replied "no. ” In all 262 inquiries were sent out, covering dis­ tricts with enrollments of 1-500 students; 501-1000; 1001-1500 and 1501-2000. Of the 207 schools re­ sponding to the questionaire, 34 voted "yes;" 156 voted "no" and 17 were undecided. Now another resolution is being sent out by the same source. This reads: "Be it resolved by the Board of Education that we strongly oppose the re­ Local postmasters attend annual gaining Seminar Postmasters Wilma F.

"Further, that no reorgani­ zation of local districts be forth-coming without ap­ proval of the majority of the people residing in the districts involved. "Further, inasmuch as the Legislature has admit­ ted the need for assessment (S. B. No. 1078) in or­ der to evaluate the educational programs of all school districts, it is our belief that it is premature to reorganize school districts until the assessment has been completed. "Further, if the other aspects of Educational Re­ form are fulfilled, it would strengthen the position of the smaller school districts. Based on per-capita costs, the facts show that the smaller school dis tricts are more economically operated than the larger districts. Therefore, by providing Vocation­ al Education, Special Education, eta , through the Intermediate Districts, and increasing the State’s responsibility to finance education, we could main­ tain the many assets of the small school districts, and at the same time, solve the major problems without the need of reorganization.

On Saturday we received the following letter on the Maple Valley Schools letterhead: Dear Parents: It is our policy to inform parents when something out of the ordinary takes place at schooL It had been reported to me that____________ (here the name of our daughterwas written in) was wearing a black arm band in school this week. I feel that you might be interested in knowing of this. Sincerely, James Wynes, principal We here print the answer to that letter because we too have some Strong feelings about the right to object and the morals even the politics and eco­ nomics of some of the things that are going on in this world today. Dear Jim: Thank you for your recent letter alerting us to the "out-of-the-ordinary" behavior of our daugh­ ter, Alisande, in schooL We are truly apprecia­ tive of your concern and are gratified to think you would want to fill us in on any out-of-the-ordinary behavior on the part of our school children. In this particular case, however, our daughter wore the black arm band with our knowledge and witfi our consent. We believe she is mature e­ nough, as should be any other high school student, to form some judgments of her own on the morals, the expediency, the right and the wrong, even the economics, of certain actions of our country. Apparently, Jim, you did not understand the reason for the black arm bands. Certainly, had you, you would not have considered this out-ofthe-ordinary in the least. One as close to the youth of our community as you certainly should not con­ sider a protest to war and killing out-of-the ordin­ ary. Or, should you? The black arm band has, for centuries, been a mark of mourning among Christian peoples. Thousands of boys have died in a senseless war, an unpopular war, but to mourn the deaths of these boys has become something unpatriotic, subversive and out-of-the-ordinary. The fact that your letter was mimeographed with blanks left for the writing in of the names would indicate to me that perhaps more than one individual wore a black arm band on Thursday. I have heard that some in authority at the Maple Valley Schools have said the war moratorium is communist-inspired and led. I believe such a state­ ment is not only out-of-the-ordinary, it is uncalled for, un-principled and totally untrue. I hardly Obituaries Marie Powers Mrs. Marie Powers, 64, of Battle Creek, died Sun­ day afternoon in Community Hospital, Battle Creek, where she had been admitted a few hours earlier. For several years Mrs. Powers was a resident of Maple Grove, moving to Battle Creek approximately four years ago. She was a member of the North Ma­ ple Grove United Methodist Church, and was a Past Matron of Laurel Chapter No. 31, Order of Eastern Star. Born February 8, 1905, in Eaton Rapids, she was a daughter of Glenn and Beulah (Kent) Reese. She was married to John Powers on September 11, 1931, in Angola, Indiana. Besides her husband, Mrs. Powers is survived by two sisteis, Mis. Mildred Wales and Mrs. Geraldine Lee, both of Battle Creek.

" These, Jim, are just a fe.w of the prominent people, not j ust high school kids, who would not think the wearing or a black arm band as a protest to war is out-ofthe-ordinary. (I even suspect that God might favor a moratorium.) I must confess that I, as old as I am, displayed some "out-of-the-ordinary" behavior last Thurs­ day. I silently prayed for peace. Silently, I pray­ ed, because unlike the kids, I did not have the guts to pray for peace out loud for fear some reac­ tionary would hear me and accuse me of being a communist or at the very least a dupe of the com­ munists.

We, who have lived through a great war and have seen the results of the Nazis and the Communists dictating to youth what they may and may not believe, can see the folly of sucn a course of action. Democracy must be taught, not so much by rote as by example. Democracy will suffer and will die if we deny our young people the privilege of pro­ testing the actions of the establishment. I wonder how many mimeographed letters were sent to the parents of the kids who showed up. in school with a "I Love You Spiro" button dr who turned their headlights on the day of the morator­ ium.

The Maple Valley News Nashville, Michigan 418 Phillips St. Nashville, Michigan November 6, 1969 • Dear Sir; We have all been hearing much about the new law to outlaw cyclamates - but nothing has been said a­ bout the food and food supplements they also wish to ban. Food supplements are officially classified as foods in the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, Ch IV (Food), Section 403 (J). Congress gave the FDA the function and duty to protect the public from noxicNB and toxic substances, not to ban foods from the mar­ ket place. The FDA has simply overstepped its Con­ gressional mandate. God made us our own free moral agents. He gave us freedom of choice. The constitution guarantees the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But the government, which is sworn to protect those rights is itself fast usurping this God-given privilege, when it takes away our choice regarding foods, vita­ of “ vital mins, minerals, etc. - all of which is c* ***’ con­ trary, if one cern to the entire population of the cour e wishes to be in optimum health. Over 21 . population suffers from diabetes alone. 95, 959, 534 persons were chronically ill and only 1. 3*Jfc of the en­ tire population was sufficiently well as not to consult a doctor in 1964. FDA is limiting the content of vitamin and miner­ al in capsules to such a low level as to be of little therapeutic value. But considering the tremendously^ large number of chronically ill and the extremely small number (1.3%) of the truly health--should our privilege of trying to improve our condition by food supplements be taken from us? Is it not unconstitu­ tional? Yeast, desiccated liver, some B vitamins and as yet incompletely understood nutrients, will not be permitted to be sold without a prescription - making the price up to 30 times more to the consumer. And it win be the Senior Citizens who will be the most effected by this - the ones who need it worst and have the least where-with to buy. Five essential vit­ amins, B6 (Adelle Davis in her book, "Let's Get a used by the genetic genel Well, " stater that diabetes is caused ium), B 12, Folic lack of vitamin B6 and magnesium), Acid, pantothenic acid and vitamin E will be option­ al ingredients in vitamins. And why are they tampering with yeast - of all things? Yeast has all of the B vitamins, all of the important minerals and all of the amino acids. It is such a perfect protein that it has been said that it might one day save this nation from starvation. For the diabetic and obese it is a naturaL It contains lit­ tle carbohydrate and fat and is a high quality, com­ plete protein. Mrs. Adelle Davis is a nationally known nutrionist. Please do read her book "Lets.Get well" and note well the chapter, "The Fortress Against Disease." You will better undetstand what I am trying to say, and how very serious it is - this tampering with na­ ture's own gift to man - foods - and with our God­ given rights - the freedom of choice - and it is un­ constitutional also. The FDA is made up of a group of men who ap­ parently are quite ignorant in the field of nutrition. Nutrition has developed into a highly technical sci­ ence, a full time specialty itself? Why do they not hire a nutritionist if they wish to meddle so as to meddle with the least possible detriment to man­ kind. Wont each person reading this, write a letter of protest to your Senator, your Congressman, the Pres­ ident of American Association of Retired Persons and bring it to the attention of your chapter of Sen­ ior Citizens so they too will have an opportunity to voice their protest on this most vital and latest as­ sault on our rights and privileges accorded to man by his creator, guaranteed by the constitution of the United States, and sworn to be upheld by the government of this, greatest of all nations of the world - to keep her people free.

Anti freeze checked Make a date now to let Fargo do the worrying WILLIAM BITGOOD 852-9626 CMHVI Reinhart Zemke, who is probably the largest sheep and lamb man in Eaton County had his lambs sheared this past week. Two of the nation's top shearers were doing the work at the farm located on Brown Road, north of Vermontville. They are Carl Southard of Martinsville, TIL , who has been shearing for 23 years, and Dale Culp of Goshen, Ind., a shearer tor 16 years. These men are well known throughout Michigan :higan by sheep own own-­ ers and in numerous other states and Canada as welt Their speed in stripping the wool from the animals has won for them national honors. . Southard was named International Champion this year. He was the National Champion in 1965 and won the Canadian honor in 1960. He was one of a three-man team to take top honors in Iowa this year, and he took second place in the Sweepstakes in Detroit this year. Culp was the' Indiana State Champion in 1962, and took Canadian honors in both 1966 and 1967 This year he was in the top five winners in the Na­ tional contest. Southard has sheared sheep in seven states this year, and Culp in four. These men average 20 0 sheep a day, and, depending on the size and con­ dition of the sheep can completely remove the wool in 1 1/2 to 3 minutes. In commenting on their work both claim some breeds are easier to shear than others, but declined to name the breed, since their work also depends on the care the animals.have received. They both agree man should use more wool, be­ cause ‘it is the best fibre there is--far superior to man-made materials. Security offers FREE Checkin Accounts to In their own work, which is "back-breaking" to say the least, due to the position they have to stand to shear the sheep. Southard claims that if he wears wool garments on his back he never suffers from stiffening of muscles. "The only trouble is-,wool underwear is getting extremely difficult to purchase except in the more northerly states or in Canada. " Both feel the trend in using wool fibres is gradually on the rise, and will be greatly increased when "wool shrinkage" and "moth" problems are over­ come, along with improved ease in handling the woolen materials as compared the modern arip-dry and no-iron fabrics. Zemke is one of the very few farmers to have his lambs sheared. He plans to have between 900 and 1,000 ready for market by late December or early January. Those he is having sheared weigh approxi­ mately 80 pounds now, and he will keep them until they reach around 100 pounds before marketing. He feels those last few pounds can more easily be put on after they are sheared—primarily because the lambs are more inclined to stay in the barn during the colder weather, thereby being less active. He raises "feeder lambs" and purchases both local and ' western lambs. Mr. Zemke is president of the Maple Valley school board and has been associated with the board for approximately 20 years, having served in V e r montville before the Nashville-Vermontville merg­ er. He is also one of the largest maple syrup pro­ duces in the area. Blood Bank Monday There will.be a Red Cross Blood Bank in Hastings on Monday, November 24 from noon to 6:00 p. m.

Postmasters DeCamp and Frith also emphasized the importance of using Zip codes and adding a- return address to all Christmas maiL It only taK<tes a couple of extra seconds, but pays big dividends. Zip codes enable postal employees to sort and han­ dle the mail faster. A return address ensures that mail that can't be delivered because of an illegible or incomplete mailing address will be returned to the sender. "A return address might not seem very important. " your Postmasters noted, "but last year over 32 mil­ lion pieces of mail went to postal dead letter bran­ ches because the mailing address couldn't be read and there was no return address on the envelope. If you estimate the worth of each of these pieces at twenty-five cents, including postage, postal custom­ ers lost over $7. 5 million last year to dead letter of­ fices. And nene of this would have happened if the envelopes had contained a return address. " Couple married Mrs. M, 'aret Partridge of Nashville, and Mr. L „ 1 of Kalamazoo, were married or. Richard H.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION o REHABILITATION NEEDS MONEY . though educational reform has been receiving a great deal of attention lately, there was hardly a ripple when a Department of Education report on Michigan's vocational rehabilitation program was made public, . The report includes an in-depth study of Mich­ igan's program and a comparison of the program with with those in other states. It showed Michigan spends the equilivant of 35 cents per resident on ia vocational cehabilitation programs. This ranks the state 45th among the 54 states and territories covered. The report also showed Michigan is missing out on mil lions of federal dollars for rehabilitation pro­ grams because the Legislature does not appropriate matching funds. During the cunent year alone, the report said, Michigan wifi lose $6. 8 million in fed­ eral funds and it would only take $1. 5 million in state money to attract the funds. The report is the result of a three-year study be­ gun after the Legislature authorized statewide plan­ ning granu for vocational rehabilitation in 1965. The State Board of Education appointed the study board, which was headed by Don Galvin, director of vocational rehabilitation in the departments. More than 1,000 persons participated in the study before it was completed, representing every shade of the spectrum in the area of vocational rehabilita­ tion. The survey concluded that 230, 000 Michigan res­ idents currently.are eligible for and could benefit from rehabilitation services of the department. Yet, it said, inadequate funding and personnel result in services to only 7, 000 of these people. The problem is made mote acute by the fact an additional 45,000 persons reach employable age each year burdened with a residual limitation that began in childhood or suffer a chronic illness or in­ jury. Among all the constraints and limitations under which the rehabilitation program operates, none are more serious than those resulting from insuffi cient funding," the report said. "A substantial general state appropriation in­ crease would allow the department the freedom and flexibility to develop programs where they are need­ ed rather than providing additional resources to al­ ready well endowed districts, " it said. "An estimated $23. 6 million in federal funds has been authorized for release to the state of Michigan for vocational rehabilitation services in fiscal 1971," the report said. "A state appropriation of approxi­ mately $5. 9 million would be sufficient tp capture all available federal funds and would assure a total budget for vocational rehabilitation services of $29. 5 million. "If the Department of Education’s Division of Vo­ cational Rehabilitation is expected to adequately serve the disabled and the disadvantaged, the pro­ gram must be supported by the state and federal gov­ ernment in a manner commensurate with this o b jective, " the report concluded. BOARD REACTS ' Most membeB of the State Board of Education have been working hard in recent weeks in an effort to kill the Governor's proposal to abolish the board. The board started out in a bad spot, since the Gov­ ernor was making that recommendation at the same time Ira Polley was being forced out of office as su­ perintendent of public instruction. On the footsteps of the Governor's request that the board be abolished came a statment from the board outlining 25 achievements it said were the result of its existence. Several board membeB have been seen in Lansing talking to members of the Legislature, trying to se­ cure votes against the proposaL One recent action came in the form of a board newsletter intended to show that the board membeB do things at meetings besides calling each other names. It is entitled "Education... Action" and summar­ izes actions taken by the board at its meetings. The first newsletter came out after the October 14 15 meeting at which Dr. John Porter was hired as act­ ing superintendent of public instruction. Accenting the "action" theme, the newsletter writea underline the verb in each sentence which tells that the board adopted something, approved some­ thing, accepted a report, agreed to something, etc. Think Snow Pre-Season SPECIAL $095 <|w Jr Vermontville News MRS.

The plans include the construction of a new 400,000 gallon water tower, bigger water lines and the completion of the sewer extensions. Williams & Works Engineering Company of Grand Rapids has been drawing, up' the plans, and attending Thursday night's meeting were Ed Fleece, engineer, and Andrew Hustvedt who works closely with federal loan and grant programs. The Maple Valley Jaycees are the new sponsor of the Boy Scout Troop No. 177. They contacted the council regarding the re-opening of the Scout Hall, Stewart Graham, from the Council, was appointed by President Harold Christiansen to check out the details with the Jaycees. John Hamp, from the Barry County Planning Committee, made a detailed report on a long-range program for the development of recreation parks throughout the county with an eye toward a state grant which hopefully will be available within a year or two. He explained the need for developing a master plan for the needs, and ask the village to help with the cost. No action was taken by the Council, but Christiansen indicated the village would be interested in studying local needs as a part of the county plan. The Layne Northern Company ask that a contract be drawn up between the company and the Village regarding an annual inspection for pump mainte­ nance at a cost of $75 per pump per year. The mat­ ter was tabled for the present. • Ben Kenyon of the Police Committee reported that the new police cruiser would arrive in approxi­ mately ten days. In addition to the regular bills, the council voted another $250 to the Maple Grove -Castleton Fire Board. This amount is set up in the regular yearly budget The Council then again tackled the study of the much-discussed Reed Street railroad crossing. The "S" curve across the Penn Central railroad is used daily by school buses transporting students to the junior-senior high school building, and the Maple Valley school authorities would like to see some improvements made. The crossing has been under consideration for several years and the village has made numerous improvements. After a lengthy discussion, the Council decided to invite county and state road commission membets in to assist in solving the problem.

Thanksgiving has been the traditional start of the Christmas season for the past several yean now. Not too long ago though. Christmas didn't start 'til just a week or so before the big day. This year I noticed Christmas decorations in the city stores at least a month ago and some of them even have had Santa on duty for weeks. They seem to start it just a little sooner each year. I don't know whether this starting the Christmas N season early is a good thing or a bad thing. Maybe it just doesn't matter one way or the other. I have to admit though, it does look good to see the town all decked out in Christmas trimmings. Perhap* it is good to stretch the season of joy, peace and good will. We can stand more of that. Mrs. Firster has been directing the plays for more years than I know. We have been here eleven year* and she has directed the senior play every year since we have been here. This is service beyond the call of duty and should be recognized. There is a lot more to teaching than just turning up in the morning and sticking around until the kid* have gone home. It takes several hours each week of activities such as directing the play or sponsoring a school organization. It is this extra dedication that make* Grew some-, thing more than just a teacher. She is a friend to the kids and is the one they come back to see years after they are out of school. Mrs. Firster is to -be congratulated on the job she did again this year with the members of the Senior Play cast. Few people realize the amount of work that goes into a production such as this. The play ran only two nights but it took weeks of rehearsals to prepare for that two night run. It take* a lot of dedication on the part of the kids and the director to come back to work every night rehearsing and polishing the. play. It seem* almost yesterday that we sat down to a Thanksgiving dinner and now it is that time again. We have a lot to be thankful for . . . We also have a lot to do to make other people thankful. The following article was brought to our attention by Fred Ackett who said he thought it was printed in a Nashville News of many years ago. We thought it would be of interest to our readers, so we are re­ printing it for you.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, November 27, 1969 �Nov. 17, 1969 Call me a hawk if you like, but I must certainly disagree with your idea (Bactatreet Barometer, No­ vember 13, 1969) that the peace marchers are just a bunch of serious kids who really think we should stop a war. At best, they are misguided and need to spend more time taking a long, hard look at their history books. Without a doubt, most Americas patriots at Lex­ ington-Concord would have preferred peace.

I am still very much interested in the young people of our area even though I have since moved away. I hate to see them get short-changed in their learning processes because of the fact that they are from the "country” and are not able to be exposed to the happenings of the outside world. These are great kids who deserve to have tbe opportunity to "get involved" and express their own opinions on issues that are and will be directly effecting their lives for some time. I hope that you will agree with me that instead of being en­ couraged not to rock the boat, these young people should be stimulated to think for themselves and be socially conscious. Mr. Boughton, I hope that you will print this letter or a reasonable facsimilie in hopes that certain teachers and administrators at Maple Valley will read it and possibly reevaluate themselves and their teaching methods.

I'm glad that these young people ciar< and cared enough to express their own thoughts and opinions. November 24, 1969 Dear Mt. Boughton, We would like to thank you for your letter which so aptly expressed our feelings. We are students * who received letters for wearing arm bands in school last week. We were told by a faculty member that tbe letters were an administrative attempt to establish a line of communication between the parents and students. This is not really a reason, it's an ex­ cuse. It is ironic that when education, which should ideally be an alternative to censorship, is actually promoting unjustified censorship. This so called line of communication should have been opened before. As you pointed out, there have been many unusual happenings in our school that the parents knew little of. Abo, there are some not so unusual things that parents know little of, such as various board policies and decisions which need to be explained, but there is some hesitancy to open a line of communication where it is really needed. The letters we received were not mere chit-chat to let the parents know school news, it was a report of what the administration felt was poor behavior, thus equating us with other stu­ dents who have received similar letters in the past. Several of tbe teachers would not allow students into their classes with arm bands (an action which was ruled unconstitutional in a South Carolina district court). Tbe adminisf-tion discouraged ’ self-expression when it should be working to nuture it. Look at our country, Mr. Boughton. One of our greatest problems u apathy. Yet in our school, you must eitner see eye-to-eye with the administra­ tion, or simply be quiet. There are persons who feel that if you are against the United States involve­ ment in Viet Nam, you are entangled in a Commun­ ist plot. Mr. Boughton, we are not being “duped” by tbe communists, but neither will we be forced into a position by allowing the persons who are in favor of the Viet Nam policy to glue their ridiculous labels to us. We are a minority of stu­ dents who have taken an interest in the world about us. We don't hold all the a rowers, yet we are still searching, and we must find our own answers. A person cannot say, "I made this decision in 1950 on my trip to the Russian embassy; this makes me an authority, and my decision is best. " We are individuals who are trying to avoid the old pitfalls, and shall work toward a better world. Harry Hammond Dave Liebhauset Jim Gann Steve Kilpatrick November 20,1969 Dear Mr Boughton, I was just sitting down to study when I received a phone call from my father. During the ensuing conversation it was brought to my attention that there was an article in our hometown newspaper answering the notice concerning tbe wearing of black arm bands in support of the moratorium. I “■ ngratulate you Mr. Boughton come out tn support tbe ople to make up their own r themselves. These two to be discouraged when I things always November 24, 1969 To the Editor, Dear Mr. and Mis. Boughton, I believe there is another side of the story on this protesting children and adults have been participat­ ing in. We certainly do not consider a protest to the war out of the ordinary, for all of us want peace. Espec­ ially those of us who have boys there, and others who will have boys coming up for draft. When the enemy (Hanot) got on their radio and praised the people of tbe United States who were demonstrating, and were so overjoyed that all of this was taking place, then L for one, think this was not right! Speaking of silent prayer, if everyone wb rotested in tne moratoriums were on their kne prayer, I do believe this would please God! Having a boy in Vietnam, I sometimes wonder what he and the other boys think when they bear the people back home are having marches against our government_and President, instead of upholding them in prayer. No doubt it lowers our noys morale, to think they are there fighting communism, and here at home people are helping them by participa­ ting in moratoriums. Oh yes, and how do we really know how many people in our high places of government are com- _ munist? I do not think they would tell us. I do not know how to express my feelings as I would like, but I am very thankful this Thanksgiv­ ing for many things. Especially those good people at the Maple Valley Schools that are still teaching our children the trutn of our fest founders of this coun­ try. >ud amc May God help us keep our country free. Thank you, • IF Mrs. Paul Friddle Route 3, Nashville. 24 Nov 69 state. I won't even go into detail about obvious fish and wildlife aspects of such a project. One of tbe dangers of a proposal ot such outrage­ ous enormity is its effect upon people. They bear of it and say, “ It is unbelievable. No one would have the gall to propose such an open theft of such proportions. And certainly the government won’t let them get away with it." Then they sit back com­ fortably in the knowledge that it will go away by it­ self. It won't. Legislators receive no unfavorable letters from tbe voters and perhaps owe a favor to the backers and before anyone knows what happen­ ed, it is approved. Then private property owners and conservationists have an uphill fight to try to get the approval reversed. Don't wait for the project to be reintroduced in the Legislature in January. Get a copy of the arti­ cle, read it, pass it on to your friends and then write your representative and senator about your re­ action. Do something now.

Thisi system would convert tbe cleanest and most beautil beautiful of southern Michi­ gan's rivers into canals for pleasure and commer­ cial boats with locks, dams and dredged channels controlling all water levels. If passed, the project would also allow tbe private agency to set water levels on all major streams involved and all tribu­ tary streams, ditches and canals entering them, and to purchase through condemnation, ail property within 800 feet of these newly established water lev­ els. Thus all private and public land within 800 feet of any potential new water level would be sub­ ject to condemnation to be resold at a profit by the developer to help pay for tbe project. This could mean the end of Charlton Park and canoeing on the Thornapple, not to mention all presently held pri­ vate property along this beautiful river.

The bride is the daughter of Mt. and Mrs. Melvin Kivela of 545 So. Main Street, Vermontville and the groom's parents are Mr. and Mrs. Philip Garlinger of 806 N. Main Street, Nashville. Rev. Leon­ ard Maunder performed the ceremony. Playing the traditional wedding music was Mrs. Carroll Snance and Mis. Forrest Rinehard of Mason sang "The Lord's Prayer." The bride, given in marriage by her stepfather, wore a floor length long full sleeved empire gown of nylon chiffon over peau-de-soie and tulle, ac­ cented by a wide full length insert of tatted lace and a mantilla veil. The maid of honor was Miss Deborah Foote, sis­ ter of the bride. The bridesmaids were Mrs. Gary Decraft of Route 5, Charloote, friend of the bride, and Mias Sarah Hansen of Nashville, also friend of the bride. The attendants wore lime green dresses of satin brocade with matching chiffon sleeves. The bridesmaids carried one long stemmed yellow mum. John Bahs of Nashville served as best man and groomsmen were Jack Garlinger, brother of the groom and Ken Foote, brother of the bride. The bride’s mother chose a-peach A-line dress with matching accessories and had a corsage of white carnations. Mrs. Garlinger wore a navy blue dress with matching accessories. Her corsage was of white carnations. The flower girl was Kathy Hansen and the ring­ bearer was Eric Hansen, niece and nephew of the groom. They are the children of Mr. and Mrs. Ken­ neth Hansen of Charlotte. Following the ceremony a reception was held in the Griswold Room. Special guests at the wedding were Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Dickey, grandparents of the bride. The bride's traveling ensemble was a deep plum colored dress with long sleeves and gray accessor­ ies. Corsage was of yellow roses. Following their honeymoon in northern Michigan the newlyweds will make their home in San Diego, California, where Jerry is stationed in the Navy. MUSIC WBCH MR. AND MRS. JERALD GARLINGER Thirty volunteers attend Charlton Park classes The fall series of six classes for volunteer caxalogers at tbe Barry County Museum in Charlton Park got off to a slow start. No one attended the first af­ ternoon session and only two came in the evening. The following two weeks made up for this; enough to bring the total attending to 30. As might be ex­ pected, many were from Hastings, but alio repre­ sented was Nashville, Bellevue, Freeport, Caledon­ ia, Woodland and Middleville. A number of items were cataloged as pan of the classes for practical experience. This helped clear up some of the backlog of unprocessed recent gifts to the museum. The fust volunteers to begin work after attending a class also worked on recently pre­ sented materials to help clear away the miscellan­ eous items before serious work is begun on the hom­ ogenous collections of material already on band. Many volunteers prefer to work in small groups or as couples. This makes the work both easier and more ran. Also, in identifying and describing items, two heads are often much better than one. Some volunteers are also going to the library to get books on the type of items they have chosen to work on. The interests expressed run from guns and clocks through dishes and typewriters. Each volunteer may­ work on whichever collection he chooses, as long as someone else hasn't already started on it. One volunteer wished to help but was kept at home by a small child. Thus Mrs. William (Jackie) Bat­ tiste is typing neat record sheets and catalog cards from the scratch pad notes made by other volunteers actually working in the museum. Museum Director Vetsteeg wishes to stress that volunteers may be of help even if they didn't - at­ tend one of the training sessions. They can be train­ ed as they start to work on a collection. The class­ es simply reduced the number of times he would have to repeat himself in training volunteers. He al­ so says that there are many other projects for inter­ ested people. "Just tell me what you like to do and I'll find a job for you, " he says. Residents urged to trim trees with mittens DEER HORNS The Maple Valley Jaycee Auxiliary will besetting up two Christmas trees very soon. They will not, however, be decorated with the traditional tinsel and balls. Instead, 'they will be decorated with mit­ tens to help warm some little hands in the Nashville Vermontville area. The public is urged to help trim these trees. There will be one set up at the Security National Bank in Nashville and die other at Michigan National Bank in Vermontville.

Physical aspects, such as casket and vaults, provided they are prudently selected by the bereaved and are honest expressions of sentiment', are helpful symbols to carry the bereaved family through the trying days of grief.

A concerted statewide effort is underway to pre­ vent an expected widespread epidemic of three-day measles in 1970. This will be done by immunizing all the children in grades K through 3, not so much to prevent these youngsters from having the disease, but to prevent its spread to their possibly pregnant mothers where records show a high precentage of deformed babies following the infection in tbe mother. Your local health department is going to be i n volved in carrying out this program and plant to do this right in the schools. ‘ The vaccine, to be furnished by the state, will not be available in this area until about January 1, so that present plans indicate a mid-January p r o gram in Barry and Eaton Counties. rrROiT MICHIGAN AREA • FOKD MOTOR CO. 109 all inviting rooms ‘ tha comforts with and‘ conveniences. . 18 minutes from downtown Detroit via 1-75.....

One of my deer-hunting friends tells me that it was a bad year. He did not get his deer so I guess it was a baa year for him. Maybe it was a good year forthe deer. I understand Loren Garlinger came back from up Hulben-way with a bear. I didn't get out to see it while it was hanging in his barn, but I hear it was really something. Amy saw a deer run through the cornfield right by our kitchen window just last week - she thought it was a big dog at first. I was talking to a fellow from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources who told me that last year the Wisconsin State Police picked up a motorist-hunter with a Shetland pony he had shot tied on the back of his car. The fellow thought he had shot some rare kind of wild animal but be said he wasn't sure just what it was. I have beard tell of trying to take a cow home -- but a Shet­ land pony? .

Lincroft, New Jersey November 26, 1969 Dear Mr. Boughton: I read, with great pleasure, your reply to the mimeographed letter you received from Mr. Wynes regarding your daughter's black arm band during the November Moratorium. L too, observed the Moratorium days in "silent prayer" for reasons identical to yours. I am pleased most by the fact that Nashville youth demonstrates its concera Too often youth's criticism is dismissed because their experience and power are not sufficient to suggest viable alterna­ tives. This shouldn't, however, negate the value of what they know, see, and feeL It is the responsi­ bility of the "experienced and powerful” to evaluate and initiate solutions. Why accept too little because Utopia seems impossible? Sincerely, Sandra (Hamilton) Hargrove December 1, 1969 Dear John, After reading your letters to the editor, I would like to write a note in behalf of our administrators and teachers. We bad the privilege of graduating 4 children - 3 from the Nashville and Maple Valley School system. I can not recall one instance where either the faculty or administrators attempted to stifle their thinking or tried to keep them from being anything but decent, well-bred, appropriately dressed young people - with good American ideals. Our son Mark (class of 61) has just returned to Texas after a year's duty in Thailand where he served in the Strategic Air Command. He has com­ pleted nearly 8 years with this group. I may conclude he had good moral training in school to be so dedicated to his job. He wrote from Thailand that someone had to be doing that job and it might as well be him as some one else. To me that is God given patriotism but surely his school years must have been instrumen­ tal in his character building. I write for only one but I’m sure there are thou­ sands of young men with this same attitude. All arm bands bring to my mind are Hitler's goose-stepping troops. I know these students weren't om when this history took place but I'm sure to most of their parents this is not a pleasant memory. Let us give credit where credit is due for trying to make our young men and women good American citizens. Thanks to the standards set by our adminis­ trators and teachers. Respectfully, Mary Norris November 29, 1969 Dear Mr. Boughton; ' ’ ' .......... : First of all I want to thank you for the assistance which you have given the Northwood Baseball Camp in the past. Enclosed you will find some brochures on my camp for next year. This Is the only all baseball summer camp in Michigan, and the interest from youngsters and parents around the state has been a great joy for me. Our first year. 1968, we had 70 boys. Last year we had 155 boys. In 1970 we expect to have 275 boys. There is no doubt in my mind we have the finest camp for boys inter­ ested in baseball in the entire country. I would appreciate it very much if you would in­ form the youngsters of the Nashville-Vermontville area about our 1970 camp. I would also like to invite you and Mrs. Boughton up to Northwood on June 21st 1970 from 2 pm until 6 pm the afternoon the boys check in for our first week of camp. I am sure you would enjoy the visit very much. Would love to have you for dinner with the boys which will be at 5 pm. ~ Thank you so very much. The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan.

A base station was set up at the police hall and two port-a-pacs run by Ike Babcock patroling the parade route and Fred Wilcox hurriedly keeping pace with Cindy Sage, keeping the parade running smoothly. As results of hard work by club members their float placed second in the parade. The plans for the float were designed by one of the members, Bev Backe. Many nours'of hard work took place at the Backe residence. Equipment, time and effort were donated by club members. Our motto "to bring joy through communications rescue" depicted Santa stuck In a snow bank, desperately calling Mrs. Santa, Dolores Mater for help. A modem rescue team consisting of a motorcycle ridden by Jack Barnes and a snowmobile ridden by Ed Backe, were pre­ pared to aid in the rescue of Santa. Next the club goes to Nashville, Satutday, Dec. 6 to display their float in the Christmas parade which begins at 10 a. m. To climax this week the Hastings Citizens Band Radio Club will have their annual Christmas dinner Sunday, December 7, at the Northeastern school. Throughout the holiday season members host open house and other social functions. BY ELMER £, WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION MOTIVES MADE CLEARER When Ira Polley was forced to resign as sute superintendent of public instruction this fall, he said he had been farced out by a "parochiaid bloc" on tbe board. While mat observers close to the scene agreed with Pojley's analysis of the situation, there was really bo one thing they could put their finger on to demonstrate this to the- public. Then someone decided.ro check to see where the five board members who forced Polley out tend their own children to school. It turned out four of them send all of their school age children to parochial schools. The fifth, James O'Neil. sent one of his children to a parochial school for one year but the student didn't like it and went back to public school The five board members maintained their denial that their close ties to parochial schools affected their actions on the board. "Having children in parochial schools does not affect the decisions I make on the state board," said board member Edwin Novak of Flint. But the disclosure opened up a new round of crit­ icism of the beleaguered board, which can't seem to keep itself out of the public eye. Tbe Executive Secretary of tbe Michigan Educa­ tion Association, Terry Herndon, said, *We MEA leaders have long believed that a large measure of Dr. Polley's difficulty resulted from the fact that be would not support the diversion of public monies -into private school coffers. " .... One of the board's creators. State Rep. Jack Faxon, D-Detroit, was more outspoken. He said "it figured" that the board members had their children in parochial schools. "We created the board never realizing its occu­ pants would be so provincial and narrow in their out­ looks, “ be said. Faxon said ” it was obvious" the four with children in parochial schools supported parochiad. "The board is a vehicle to advance tbeir cause," he said. "Tbe board has proved to be a real disap­ pointment and a letdown. * SNOWMOBILES ABOUND Michigan, traditionally known as the "Motor State," may be picking up a second title soon— "Snowmobile State." ' .. I Figures compiled by Secretary of State James Hare's office shows Michigan leads the nation in snowmobile ownership with a total of nearly 100, 000 of the vehicles in tbe state.

As additional proof of the.motorized sleds’ growing popularity, he say* there were more than 100 organ­ ized snowmobile safaris in Michigan last year and more than 100 snowmobile races. REVENUES RISE One result of the ever increasing number of miles traveledby motorists in Michigan every year is a rise in tbe amount of gasoline taxes and license plate fees collected by the state. During the last fiscal year Michigan's Motor Ve­ hicle Highway Fund pulled in a record $374. 2 million from these two sources of revenue. . ’ The gas produced $254. 6 million during fiscal 1969, up 15. 9 per cent from the previous fiscal year. At the same time the license plate fees totaled $144. 5 million, a rise of 33. 7 per cent. After all other revenues and expenses were consid­ ered a total of $357.4 million was available for dis­ tribution to tbe state, counties, and municipalities. Tbe Highway Department received $164.4 mil­ lion, a rise of 17. 7 per cent. The counties shared a total $121. 5 million,' an increase of 17.2 per cent, and cities and village* shared $71.4 million, up 25. 5 per cent. . TAX HIKES COMPLEX To the casual observer it might appear raising taxes will bring in a fixed amount of revenue and that each additional penny or percentage of rax would result .in an equal increase in revenue. That, however, iln't tbe case. This truism of government financing has come to the fore again with the debate over Gov. William G. Milliken's proposal to raise tbe cigarette tax 5 cents per pack. If the tax were raised by only 3 cents, his aides say, it would bring in an additional $11 million for each penny raise per, year. But, if it is raised by the 5 cents asked for, the yield will be only $9 mil­ lion for each penny rise, or $45 million instead of the $55 million which would be realized if the $11 million per penny rate were true. Government officials say there are several reasons for this. The first is the fact that as cigarettes grow more expensive, some people reduce smoking because of tbe cost. Another factor is that person* living near the state border will drive across the border into a state with a lower cigarette tax to buy large quan­ tities of cigarettes. When this happens, the state not only doesn't get the increase, it loses what it was getting originally. In Michigan's cate this is 7 cents per pack. The other factor is one that many citizen* do not consider: bootlegging. Eastern states such as New York have long bad problem* with bootlegging of cigarettes from states such as North Carolina, which had no cigarette rax until this year. New York has a 12 cent tax, and a bootlegger with a car full of tax free cigarettes can undercut the New York price and still make a lot of money. In testimony before the Senate Taxation Commit­ tee recently, a New York tobacco dealer said cur­ rently more than one million bootlegged packs of cigarettes are sold in New York state every day. Morri* Weintraub said this is costing the state of New York $50 million a year in decreased revenues. Committee chairman Harry DeMaso of Battle Creek has scheduled a meeting for this coming weekend (Nov. 1) with New York officials to dis the problems of bootlegging and its relationship to higher taxes. Weintraub, who is managing director of the Wholesale Tobacco Distributors of New York, told DeMaio's committee raising the cigarette tax would be "opening Pandora's box. " If the 5 cent raise is enacted, it would put Mich­ igan's cigarette tax at double the Indiana tax of b cents, giving Michigan residents more impetus to drive to Indiana to buy cigarettes. If the Michigander* drove to Indiana, they would purchase other things, such as groceries, there and deprive the state of come of its sales tax revenue* as well, opponents argue. And they say the bootlegging of cigarettes from Kentucky, where tbe tax is only 2. 5 cents per pack, would be very much a reality, since interstate high­ ways now make it a short drive between Kentucky and Michigan. ■ Should tne Legislature decide to rake Milliken's advice and raise tbe tax, however, Michigan won’t be alone. At the last count. 18 states have raised their cig­ arette raxes this year and more than one-half of them are now collecting at least 10 cents a pack. And despite tbe arguments against raising cigarette taxes, states bordering the low tax states do have high cigarette taxes. For instance, Tennessee has a 13 cent a pack levy despite tbe fact it is bordered by Kentucky and its 2. 5 cent rate and North Carolina and its 2 cent rate. If all this seems confusing, it is only because it is. In taxation, as in other fields; every action set* into action a serie* of reaction* and counteraction*. Tbe trick in this problem is to select the most effective tax action.

I am always happy to see them.... I am happy to print them. From time-to-tiroe I have printed some that have taken me to task. It can be expected, though, that anyorx me who says anything will find someone who nisai agrees with him. J’"------- .d with me. me_ I nave often had people who disagreed As a matter of fact, I have quite often been s o disagreeable that I don't even agree with myself. In the case of the letter from Mr. Gerald Mont­ gomery which appears in this paper, I feel I should deviate somewhat from my normal policy, if for no other reason that Mr. Montgomery is a respect­ ed and trusted friend of long standing ( I could have said an old friend, but I refuse) and I would do him the courtesy, at least, of an acknowledgement. In the first place, the column referred to is my own personal column... my own personal view­ point. It is signed by me. It is not intended to be anything other than editorial comment. x There is no reason to think that the editorial comments by an editor will be any more unbiased than a sermon by a minister in a church. Editors, ministers and ordinary citizens just try to call them as they see them. There is no need to determine whether my editorial policy is, biased and slanted. In this particular case it most certainly is. I must, also admit to being slanted and biased in favor of' motherhood, patriotism, religion, love and char­ ity. Man is a biased animat I reprinted the entire text of Dr. Adams' talk be­ cause I admire the man, I agree with him and, on that particular week, we had the time and the space to give to the talk. Dr. Adams is the one man I know of who deals with the problem strictly on the economics of it. War is just not an econom­ ical way to deal with people who happen to think differently than we do. So far as I know our paper was the only one that carried Dr. Adams’ speech. Mr. Agnew's talk, which you believe outlines the belief of the silent majority, was printed in its entirety in all of the area papers and was given nationwide coverage in the media. If there is anyone who has not read that speech, I am sure printing it in out paper would not help. As a matter of fact, another good, trusted and "respected —" - ’ friend ' ■ • ' mine, Mrs. Firster, published in this paper her . ... ____ iwpoint, which coincides witn youn and with Mr. Agnew. That publication was with my knowledge, consent and appcovaL It is per­ fectly obvious that I do not agree with all that she '* said, or with all that you said. I will however, d e - NATIONAL NE SPARER MAPLE VALLEY NEWS Oar readers write by john boughtor, fend to the death your right to say it. Further, I would encourage you to say it and to use my paper as a sounding board. These are indeed bothersome times, troubled times, times when some of us wonder where we are going and what are we doing. How far does protest go before it becomes revolution? How far can a de­ mocracy go to keep people from protesting national policy? How far does the government, the establish­ ment go in countering protest without becoming an oppressive government? Our very early protesters in America stood up against what they thought to be in very bad taste. Just where is protest right and wrong? Where does a good American boy protest when he is sent out to kill? .? Is life so different? Is the killing of a child or a woman so much different than the killing of a man? How old must a child be before he can be shot with a clear conscience? How mili­ tant must a woman be? These things bother me because I can remember another great war and I can remember the stories that came out of Germany. I can remember that Hitler also had a silent majority. I have beard the term peace with honor. To bring the war to an end on an honorable basis. Honor means bringing the enemy to his knees. I wonder if there is any honor in war. I wonder also if we have the tight to send our boys t: J -------to L2L kill To die ‘is not~-so ILbad. We all--------must do it in of God's plan. But to kill, to time and that is ommunist, or a democrat, or a kill, even to kil black man. or a Baptist, or a man or a child, does not seem to be a part of . I know Gerald Montgomery to be a good and com­ passionate man, a man who once, on the goif course, took his putter and gently steered a rattlesnake off from the fairway and into the brush explaining, "He is a dying breerf, and I have no desire to hurry his demise.^ Gerald, old friend, Man is a dying breed and I - have no desire to hurry his demise.

Delray Beach, Florida Friday, Nov. 28, 1969 Mr. John Boughton Mrs. Amy Boughton Editor & Publishers Maple Valley News NashviUe, Michigan The article which appeared in the Backstreet Bar­ ometer section of the November 20, 1969 issue of the Maple Valley News regarding a letter from the principal of the Maple Valley schools in my opinion warrants further consideration. Any citizen with children in school is entitled to his personal opinion of the School policies and the school administrators. However, when that citizen is also the editor and publisher of the only local pa­ Cer and his petsqnal opinions and viewpoints are roadcast in his publication he has become obliga­ ted to also print all sides of controversial subjects. And I certainly feel that the wearing of black arm bands and the protest marchen etc., were not only controversial in their objectives, they were also in bad taste. I realize that your vocation is a full time job in in your spare time. You saw fit to reprint the complete text of Dr. Walter Adam's speech approving the campus dissenters. I request that you also re­ print in its entirety the enclosed copy t>f vice presi­ dent Spiro Agnew's recent speech which outlines many of the beliefs of the silent majority. Your ac­ tion regarding this request will help all of us to determine whether or not your editorial policy is biased and slanted. Vietnam war President Nixon :ve that the to an end on an hoi large majority of American citizens support him in this effort regardless of their political affiliation. One of the stumbling blocks in the Paris peace negotiations has been the claim by the Viet Cong that the United States is badly divided.

Charlton Park Recreation Bond Committee presented the planning, and possible action, regarding appli­ cation for an indoor swimming pool at Chariton Park which could be shared by the school districts in the use of the poot There are nine districts, wholly or partly in Barry County, which might be interested. A master plan involving all of Barry County is being drawn up concerning the most urgent needs. This may take several months or even longer. In the early stages, regarding recreational needs, it appears a swimming pool is high on the list. While eachschool or each community might prefer its own pool, the second best idea would be one at Charlton Park. There are some state aid funds, based on per cap­ ita use of recreational facilities, which might reach as much as $121, 000. However, the qualifications of such an aid are very strict. The cost of a pool might run as much as $400,000 but on top of that would be the maintenance, along with hiring life­ guards, instructors, etc. Estimated costs for oper­ ation might run between $60,000 and $80,000 per veat. The schools/are being asked to give an opin­ ion as to whether or not they would be interested in having the children use the pool, thereby helping to defray operating costs.

Special Christmas drawings will be held in Ver­ montville on Friday evening, December 19 and again on Saturday, December 20 to give residents a hit of additional Christmas shopping money. These drawings are sponsored by the Vermontville Chamber of Commerce.

Committee will investigate location for water tower The report of the Lakeview Cemetery Board was read at Thursday night's Nashville village council meeting. The treasury shows a balance of $2, 624.76. Superintendent of Public Works, Tim Smith, was given permission to purchase four new hydrants and gate valves. The cost will be approximately $1,000. Frank Scramlin and Ben Kenyon were named by president Harold Christiansen to investigate location and ownership of land for a new water tower for the village. Recently Ed. Miller, Traffic Engineer of . the Grand Rapids District, visited Nashville to confer with village officials concerning the much-discuss­ ed *S" curve over the Penn Central railroad crossing on East Reed Street. He suggested that the street be widened, when the weather permits, over that por­ tion of the road across the tracks, and that double yellow lines be used across this entire area. The village officials voted to purchase state-reg­ ulated "No u Turn* signs to be installed on Main Street, which is State Highway 66. Police Chief Kendal Wilcox made his report to the council. Other action of the council, including the paying of the bills, was routine. It’s NUMBER i Christmas Time At Qreenfield Village The potter, the baker, the candlestick maker — plus the pewterer and several other working craftsmen — will make "The Crafts at Christmas” in Henry Ford Museum a fascinating exhibit for visitors this season. The potter and pewterer are pictured here handersftinr candle holders and toy soldiers. Christmas scenes dominate Greenfield Village too. The starkiy-beaotiful Martha-Mary Chapel and the sparkley-beautiful Chrint mas tree dominate the VHlaitew^en. Eleven homes and buildings are specially deco­ rated this year, and others opened to go in or look In. Sleigh dr carriage rides, depending on snowfall, take visitors back to the Village gate house after a refreshment stop at his toric Clinton Inn. Located in Dearborn, Michigan. Greenfield Village and Henry Ford Museum are a non-profit educational institution. Prepare baskets for Christmas The Community Christmas Basket is a commit­ tee representing tne various churches, and has been in existence for a number of years. It functions once a year at the Christmas season to provide some help to families that otherwise might not have a very merry Christmas. Money has come from donations from individuals and organizations, with some help from the Com­ munity Chest. The students at Maple Valley High School traditionally have a "Christmas Tree Walk* the last afternoon of school before the Christmas vacation, when packages or cans of food are placed under the Christmas tree. This food is then divided between Vermontville and Nashville. A number of names are on the list, but names may still be turned in to one of the following: Mrs. Ben Kenyon, Mrs. William Hayter. Mrs. Archie McCon­ nell, Mrs. Lawrence Maurer, Mrs. Ben Mason or Mrs. J. E. Smith. Food — especially fruit or cook­ ies, or gifts for all ages may be left at the United Methodist Parish House any time before 1:00 Tues­ day, December 23. Baskets will be packed that af­ ternoon, and hopefully delivered that day.

There are some who don't care a lot for getting feet cold and wet tramping through the snow. We are known as "Scrooge*.

I have lost much of my old Christmas spirit. Since I have gotten old I have given up on the annual Christma* tree fight which had become a tradition around our house. In the past I have held out for erecting the tree late on Christmas Eve and taking it down again as early as possible. I have never been one to bold that trees should be in bouse*. For the last few year* though I have given up the fight. Whenever the tree goes up is OK with me and I couldn't care len if it stay* up right through the 4th of July. This year's tree is already up. It went up on Sun­ day with a minimum of excitement and carrying on. No one said a word to me; the women of the house­ hold just brought the tree in, put it in the holder without jamming a finger. (I always managed to jam at least one finger and to have the tree in the holder in such a way that is immediately tipped o­ ver if someone slammed the door.) Our tree is up, though..... It is all trimmed and the lights are all on. When the girls do it, the lights seem to be in fine shape. When I used to do it I took the first three hours trying to get the lights to work. I even considered going back to the old can­ dle bit. _ So here we are, going into the season to be jolly and I have not blown my stack yet. Things have changed.

There is an old saying which is true. " You cannot tell a book by it* cover. " • Communism I* not a look, it is a state of mind. In the twenties women were called flapper and the men dandies because they dressed in short skirts, tight pant*, loud colot*, spangle* and beads, but it was only a fad which faded away. Today short skirts, tight pants and long hair are also fad* which will pas*. On the contrary to the i­ dea that this odd dress is Communism could not be farther from the truth since freedom is being express­ ed by dress and hair styles which is not encouraged in a Communist controlled country. The word Communism has become the modern boogy-man used to scare the public into conform­ ity of thought. I'm quite sure if the morals and political opinions of these long hair odd balls were put up to measure beside that of Mr. John Q. Pub­ lic these Cool Cat* will be found to love freedom, justice and the pursuit of happiness more than any one who would censor him or her without opening the cover to his or her book.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION PAROCHIAID GAINSK?^V . Qqite a few Michigan residents are excited over the issue of sure aid to parochial schools. The touchy issue is one of the most emotionally charged ever to come before a Legislature. During the December session the state PT A mar­ shalled its forces to the statehouse in an attempt to disuade wavering lawmakers from voting ror the most recent parochiaid proposal The women were highly emotional and in a moment of frustration, a senator who favored par-ochiaid, after attempting to explain his position to them, told them to '* go to belt " Another lawmaker accused the women of "trying to put pressure on me" and walked away from a meeting with them. Many lawmakers, on both sides of the issue, refused to meet with the women at all for fear of emotional outbursts. _ One thing which seems to have gained little no­ tice in Michigan is the advances parochiaid has made in other states. In the past two yeais four of the states of the Un­ ion have inaugurated some form of state aid to par­ ochial schools. The four states are Connecticut, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Rhode'Island. The Pennsylvania suture was passed in 1968. The other three states passed the irr in 1969. Both Ohio and Rhode Island authorized the use of state aid to supplement teacher salaries in secular coutses taught in non-public schools. This is the method backed by Gov. William G. Milliken. Connecticut and Pennsylvania both authorized the funds for materials as well as nonsectarian teachers. Connecticut's legislature appropriated $6 mil­ lion for parochial schools, with tne first payments to be made next Sept. 1. Rhode Island had the smallest appropriation, $375, 000 for the first year. Ohio, on the other hand, appropriated $35 million for the first year. In Pennsylvania, no specific amount of money was appropriated. Instead, a special fund financed by revenues from state harness racing and horse racing will be used to help the schools. Pennsylvania's law has been challenged in a suit filed by six religious, civil rights and educational organizations joined by three individuals. A suit is planned against the Connecticut law. The word’'parochiaid" itself, by the way, is a product of the battle in Michigan over state aid to private schools. You won't find the word in any dictionary and it is unheard of outside Michigan. It was created several yeais ago by a group of newsmen mulling over the situation and frustrated by the length of the phrase "state aid to parochial schools," which was a barrier to tight writing. The newsmen began working on various combin­ ations of phrases which could be made into one word. Suddenly, one of them came up with "par­ ochiaid" and Before long the new word had become an accepted part of the language of the state. COLLECTION COSTS , In case you've been wondering about it, the fed­ eral government spends 40 cents of every $100 it collects financing its tax collection activities. In comparison to the past, the 40 cents spent last year is one of the more efficient figures, accord­ ing to a report by Commerce Cleanng House in Chicago. The all time law was 32 cents per $100 in 1944 in the midst of World War IL The all time record for cost came back in 1871, Avhen $5. 87 of every $100, or nearly 6 percent of the total collection, went for the expenses involved in collecting money. Total collections weren't so high then. As recently as 1932 the revenues dropped nearly $1 billion and the drop was 38 percent of the total collected in the previous year. A drop of that size today would be little more than one-half of one percent, since the government collected $187. 9 billion in taxes last year. TITLE STICKS Nebraska Gov. Norbert T. Tiemann has an­ nounced he'll seek re-election next year. The only Democrat who has announced against the Republican incumbent is Nebraska Democratic National Committeeman J. J. Exon. This has prompted pundits in that state to refer to what they expect will be a "year long run of The Governor and J. J. " INTEREST WIDESPREAD , The dramatic educational reform proposals unveil­ ed earlier this year by Gov. William G. Milliken caused quite a stir in Michigan. Reaction to them will continue through the 1970 elections. With all the clamoring within the state about the proposals, most persons nave missed the fact that quite a few other states are watching to see what happens here. This interest in other states, which also are ha v ing their own educational troubles, is exemplified in the various editorial comments which appear in papers outside Michigan. Comments have been both favorable and unfavor­ able. Some have been merely expressions of interest and curiosity in the plan. But they all show Michigan is being watched closely to see bow she handles the are hitting many other stater besides herself. For example, the Boston Evening Globe said the Governor's proposals involve ''what most states prob­ ably will'be forced to consider in the next decade: The takeover of public school financing from local communities. " It also indicated support for the parochiaid pro­ posals, which it said recognize that "an intolerable burden would be thrust on the communities if paro­ chial schools were compelled to close." The Christian Science Monitor was less enthusias­ tic. It said "Michigan’s school money problems are a little too complicated for its Governor's new school tax reform plan to handle. " "What’s more, " it said, "a provision for aid to private and parochial schools all but drags its worth­ ier proposals under. ” Tne New York Times printed a favorable review of the plan written by Fred H. Hechinger. Hechin­ ger concluded passage of the statewide funding pro­ posal would mean "school boards would be able to spend their energies on improving the schools in­ stead of worrying about bow to pay for them.' He said Milliken's proposal for statewide funding of public school systems was much the same as one drawn upfor the first time three years ago by Dr. James B. Conant, one of the country's leading school reformers. "Although the Conant-Milliken approach is dra­ matic, " Hechinger wrote, "it is not as complete a break with realities as it seems. The states are al­ ready deep in local school financing, " he said, no ting .already 25 of the 50 states pay more than half the total cost of education from state funds. The Minneapolis Star said somewhat sceptically, "Whether such a major overhaul of the system, with its implications for school control, can win approv­ al is extremely doubtful But the prospect must not be casually discarded." And the Christian Science Monitor said that no matter what happens to Milliken's proposals "a lot of other states will be watching. " The Bergan Record of Hackensack, N. J. was favorable in its evaluation of the program and said it agrees the nation is watching Michigan. "Michigan has been caught in a trap, as New Jer­ sey has, and Gov. William G. Milliken proposes doing something radical about it, " the paper said. "We hope he prospers. " t " The Michigan initiative provides inspiration at the very least; later it may even provide an exam­ ple. " it concluded. "We'd better be paying atten­ tion. " MILLIKEN SPEAKS OUT Gov. William G. Milliken hasn't always found himself in agreement with President Nixon or vice president A.gnew, and one instance of jj^occurring brought some rather candid remarks frdBnhe Gov­ ernor at a recent news conference. Milliken was asked whether be agreed with Ag new's criticisms of various news media. "As long as I’ve been here iin this Capitol, I've recognized the fact__that _ ..1__ what I you ... report, how you , rgport it, what you say—more importantly per­ haps, what you do not say—can have a vital oear• . ing on legislative outlook, and on the political for­ tunes of an individual, " the Governor said. "Frankly, " he said, "on occasion I have wished that I could do something to n lanipulate ’ " the ‘ news to make it more favorable from rnv point of view. I know I cannot do that. I know that I should not do that. I know that if we had that kind of a system, it would be unfortunate in the extreme. "1 would much rather, " he concluded, "I think, have censorship by the press of the government than I would censorship by the government of the press.

COMBINED NASHVILLE NEWS ■ AND VERMONTVILLE ECHO VOLUME 97 KM a Copy__________ THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS. NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 25. 1969 NUMBER 31 1969 Christmas is an annual Judgment Day. " In so far as you did this to one of the least of my brethren, you did it to me". This seems to sum up the Spirit of Christmas better than any­ thing I've found to far. Granted it is a realistic view which is not too complementary. Oh, certainly Christmas sentiment has been held up by the commercials, the songs, the glad tidings of cards, the ho-ho of Santa Claus as the spirit of Christmas, but really the spirit of the thing is deeper. It is the time of year when we can be kind to each other, and think of the poor children who won't have a Santa Claus; when we can finally show our affections toward someone. It is a time when we can even have sympathetic thoughts about prisoners behind bars, while we are behind other bars. And, above all, we can be thankful that we are not hungry and naked. United Fund leaden were honored at a luncheon, on Monday. December 15 in Taming Mb.

Lions win Olivet game Maple Valley came out victorious in Friday night's encounter with the Olivet basketball team. A close score of 80-79 was the result in the non­ league game.

Approximately 1. 490 diplomas were presented Saturday, December 20 at Western Michigan Uni­ versity. Kalamazoo. Clifford G.

At KCC be was a member of Socretus Technica and Kappa Eta Sigma, an honorary society. At Western he was assistant co-ordinator for Kalamazoo Kids and Us, a tutorial organization for underprivileged children in the Kalamazoo schools.' ' Edwin C. Berry, the executive director ot the Chicago Urban League, addressed the fall gradua­ tion class ax the ceremonies held in Read Field House. Yes, I think this is all part of Christmas. We actually do think of these things, perhaps not as bluntly as the Lord put them when He spoke of Judgment: "For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me drink; I. was a stranger and you made me welcome; naked and you clothed me, sick and you visit­ ed me, in prison and you came to see me. " (Matt. 25/35) Christmas then is an annual Judgment Day! Why else the frantic running around until the last shopping day? Why the Christmas baskets? Why the fraternal office parties where the Sint can at least be induced? Why the annual mily get-together with mom and dad? We do a lot of good things at Christmas. The quotation that is never plagiarized or ver­ balized isr "We can't act and live this way all year so why not live it out and up at least once a year!" Yes, isn't it wonderful that Christianity gets lived at least in external ritual at least once a year! . Peace On Earth, Good WiU to Men (at least once a year)! Rev. R. Moeggenberg Plan Christmas Eve service ■ Rev. Crosby has announced that a special service will be held on Christmas Eve at the United Metho­ dist Church in Nashville. This special service will begin at 7:30 pm and all residents of the commun­ ity are encouraged to attend.

StaW ftreeiW Best Wishes for a Merry Christmas from ML THE STAFF AT THE MAPLE VALLEY HEWS �■ backstreet baron For the first time in my life 1 have all of my Christmas shopping done and the presents all wrapped before late on Christmas Eve! This is quite something for one who puts everything off until the last minute. I can be sure, though, that I have forgotten something and late on Christinas Eve afternoon. I'll have to hit the streets for some last minute shopping. ' It sure looks as if wc will have a nice White Christmas here in the .Maple Valley area. From* what the weatherman was saying on Saturday, wc just could be snowed in! That would make a beautiful Christmas. It is a good thing that the happy holidays Christmas and New Years - come in December because if it were not for them, this would be a pretty bleak month in Michigan. Ask any photog­ rapher and he will tell you that we have darn few days when the sun comes out during December. These are gloomy-looking d-/s and were it not for the coming holidays, 1 could get myself into a state of depression. . The paper this week has lots of Letters to Santa with plenty of hints as to what the little ones want most. It also has the traditional Christmas greet­ ings from the people of the business community. Tms is one way the merchants have of showing their appreciation for your past patronage and just for being good friends and neighbors. The other night I hit two deer just west of Pat Hager's farm, near.Vermontville. Really, I didn't hit them - they came running full tift right into the side of my car and it all happened so fast, I didn't even have time to. see them coming. I just suddenly saw these two beautiful animals looking right in my face as they hit the side of the car. when I made the report to the’Sheriff's officers, 1 found that this is not so uncommon. The Barr,' County men, who toojt the report for. Eaton County, told me that they have about 70 reported deer-car accidents a month. There is nothing wecan do to train the deer to look both ways before they cross the road. I guess we will just have to try to train drivers to be a bit mote careful - particularly at night. - Those of os who have already hit a deer know how fast it can happen and just how important extra caution is. Holiday Greetings This is the time of the year we should take inventory to see where we have been.. We, at Randall's, want our community to know bow much we have enjoyed being able to serve you.

The observance will be held January 14-20. PIan. art demonstration for Jan. 8 meeting There will be no meeting of the art group for the next week. The next meeting will be January 8, from 7 to 9 p. m. at the Maple Valley High School. The meeting will be held in the Art Room and all interested persons are urged to come. There will be a special demonstration at the Jan­ uary 8th meeting. This will begin at 7 and a short meeting will be held following this. Some persons have been meeting on Monday eve­ nings for the past month or so, however, there has not oeen a particularly large attendance. When the group was first organized, there were many more who indicated an interest in meeting together. The meeting following the demonstration on January 8 should help to work out details in regard to further meetings. If there is not enough participation in meetings such as this, perhaps it may be necessary to discon­ tinue them. Distribut e d ividend checks It was announced by officials of the Federal Land Bank Association of Ionia that dividend checks totaling $35 043.80 were mailed to its 1275 members on December 21. This dividend represents a 5 1/2 <JL return on the member's investment in association stock as of May 31st, 1967, according to R. W. Christian, Association manager. The Association makes and services farm real­ estate mortgage loans in Ionia. Barry and Mont­ calm counties. Presently serving on the Board of Directon are Henry Nelson, Ionia, president; Richard Yarger. Hastings. Vice Pres.dent; Carl Bahs, Nashville. Claud Mind. Sheridan, Orville Trebian and Les­ ter Wolverton, Ionia. Thursday evening the Nashville village council accepted, with regtet, the resignation of Carl Tut­ tle who has been serving as village assessor He had tendered his resignation several weeks ago but the matter was tabled. Now the council is faced with finding someone who will accept the appointment of assessor until the spring election in March. It is hoped whoever is appointed will also be a candidate for election. In other business Police Chief Don Langham ask­ ed that he be given extra help when needed, or when he takes an occasional day off. This matter was referred to the police committee composed of Otto Dahm, Wayne Skedgcll and the Rev. B. James Vamer. Representatives from each of the two taverns were present Thursday evening to ask that both taverns be allowed to be opened for New Years Eve and that the hours be lengthened. Both were denied. It has been the policy of the council to have the beer tav­ ern owners take turns remaining open from 12 noon Sunday to 8 p. m. Because of the extensive rains and high water in the south portion of the village, surface water and septic tank overflow has grossly overloaded the san­ itary sewer system. The plant has been working more than twice the ordinary time, stepping up the cost of chemicals, besides doubling the wear and tear on the equipment The only way to permanent­ ly clear up this condition will be to put in the ex­ tended sewer lines which were incorporated into the plans made several years ago. The need for a larger budget to provide village needs for next year were discussed and it can be ex­ pected the tax millage will be increased when the budget is set after the first of the year. Inter-church dialogue scheduled fo r Jan. 17 Catholics and Protestants of biashville have been invited to meet at the Evangelical United Brethren Church on Wednesday, January 17, at 7:30 p. m. for an inter-church dialogue planned by PastorVarner from that church and assisted by Father Ra y mond Moeggenberg from St. Cyril s Catholic church. To lead the discussion three other clergymen have been invited to serve as a panel. They are the Rev­ erend Don Gury, pastor of the Emmanuel Episcopal Church of Hastings; the Reverend Fr. John McPhee, from the Redemptorist Fathers of the Catholic church; and the. Reverend Leonard Maunder, pastor of the Vermontville Congregational church. The public is invited to join in this search fo r deeper understanding. Neu: Agent appointed Warren J. Cook, County Agricultural Agent of Kalkaska, has been appointed Agricultural Exten­ sion Agent for Eaton County, according to County Agricultural Agent J D. Johnson of Charlotte. Mr. Cook will fill the vacancy left by the res­ ignation of Leslie Tobin last October 1. His tran­ sfer to Eaton County was recently approved by the State Board of Trustees of Michigan State Univer­ sity and the Agricultural Committee of the Eaton County Board of Supervisors. Since 1934 he has been County Agricultural Agent of Kalkaska county and prior to that 1954­ 1964. he was Oscoda County Agricultural Agent.

Increased postal rate effective January 7 Increased rates for all classes of mail except par­ cel post and international mail will go into effect January 7. Postmasters Wilma DeCamp and Law­ rence Frith reminded postal customers today. 'JEven with the new rates of six cents for firstclass mail and 10 cents for air mail, postal service is still a real bargain, " Postmasters DeCamp and Frith declared. "For six cents you can send a let­ ter to any of the 50 states, to any United States ter­ ritory of possession, to Canada or Mexico, or to an ’American serviceman stationed anywhere in the world." Postmasters DeCamp and Frith pointed out that the new rate for post cards will be five cents and for air mail post cards-eight cents. They said the added cent in the letter rate is a 20 percent increase compared to a 24 percent boost in the rates for mailing newspapers and magazines and a 34 percent hike for advertising circulars, "oc­ cupant" mail, and other material in the third-class category. The new rate of six cents per ounce for first-class mail applies up to 13 ounces and the new rate of 10 cents per ounce fo: air mail applies up to 7 ounces. Under the new rate structure all first-class mail over 13 ounces and all air mail over 7 ounces will be merged into a single category. . These heavier pieces of first-class and air mall subject to the single rate schedule will be delivered by the fastest available means of transportation. A flat rate of 80 cents will be charge for all mail in this category up to one pound For all mail weigh­ ing more than one pound the present air parcel post rates will continue to apply, except that the postage on mail, and the educational materials category of fourth-class maiL Mailers using these classes who need information on the new rates should contact the local Post Office, Postmasters DeCamp and Frith said. �BACKSTREET BAROMETER Now that the big New Year's celebr^ion isover, and the footbail games have all been played I can go back to my old ways. One of the first things I am going to do is to forget ah of the resolutions I made for the new year. I might just as well forget them because I have no intention of keeping them anyway. If I kept all of my good resolutions, I would have nothing to resolve for next year and that would be bad.

Besides life would be pretty dull if everyone kept all his good resolutions. The world would be full of good gays and it takes a few bad guys to make the good guys look good So the thing to do is to forget the resolutions just as soon as tney are made. People would not recog­ nize their old friends if they all made resolutions at the first of the year and kept them. All of the political writers are sticking their necks out with a whole bunch of predictions for the year to come. I don't know anything about politics, nut I can stick my neck out with a few predictions of my own. 1. Several women will put washing in one of the machines at the laundromat and will forget it for several hours. 2. We will get a dilly of a big snowstorm before the winter is over. 3. When we think spring is here we will get one more dilly of a snow storm. 4. Bob White, Harold Norris and Lester DeGroot will play golf together and will all end up with two under par. 5. Every other golfer wiL refuse to play with the above mentioned three. 6. During August 957 people will ask others on the street " is it hot enough for you?" 766 will say "now don't you wish you iiad some of that snow from last winter?" 7. Someone will come in with a 27 pound fish caught in the Thomapple river. 8. The groundhog will see his shadow. 9. Someone will show up with a potato he has grown that is ten pounds. 10. They will take a vote at the school and the students will unanimously decide to hold classes all through the summer.

Barnes * Mason DELAYED ' On the second of January the Christmas trees are out of the houses and back at the curbs where the street crew will pick them up.. It is too bad that someone doesn't think up some use for those o 1 d trees. Perhaps we could start a new industry in this neighborhood. We could grind the trees up and sell them for breakfast food. Or perhaps we could dry the needles and tell the kids that smoking them will give you a bad jag. Or we could advertise that they are bad for you and will make you fat. If people think they are bad for you or immoral, they will snap them up at any price. We could cut the branches off the trees and sell the trunks for people who have cats. The trank could be mounted in the house for the cat to sharp en her claws on. Those of you who have dogs too should be sure the dog knows the tree is just for sharpening claws. Better yet, lets just put the trees out at the curb and let the city truck pick them up. The power failure on New Years Eve points up to us how much we depend on electricity for our day-to-day living I had some people tell me that while they were waiting for the lights to come back on they went to sleep and missed the New Years celebration en­ tirely. . The lights went out sometime shortly after 5 p. m. and came back on in most parts of the area at about 7:00. My friends at WBCH tell me that a power line broke between Hastings and Charlotte Many folks said that it got just a bit chilly in their homes while the power was off. Most modern heating plants depend on electricity to keep them going. Terry Edger said he had a fire in the fireplace and since it was time to eat anyway he just threw the steaks in the fireplace fire. He is just a bit worried about tha: now though. He was burning an elm wood whfch he thinks might have been infected with the Dutch Elm disease. He is concerned now that the agriculture department might come and check him. find that he has caught the Dutch Elm Disease and chop him down and bum him. We all have problems. We also had a roaring fire in the fireplace, so we didn't suffer from the cold during the short time the lights were out. We got some candles going and sat in front of the fire and enjoved the rest from the TV and other distractions of modem life. / When we had lights the kids just sat, but as soon as the lights were out they had a hundred things they wanted o ham up around the house so all the flashlight in the house were in use. After our chronology was all printed in last week k paper, we discovered that we had failed to mention the sale of the Wilson's Insurance Agency to Wil­ liams A Hecker. . The snow mobile people should be happy with the weather. There Is more of it coming. MRS.

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE. MICHIGAN. THURSDAY, JANUARY 4. 1968 �Year of The Coho: 1967 ■ Not in decades has anything so dominated conservation news in Michigan as did the coho salmon story of 1967. The coho madness that gripped thousands of fishermen turned such places as Manistee, Frankfort, and Honor into boom .towns and produced catches that the most incorrigible storyteller dared not to exaggerate upon. Last fall’s fantastic coho spawning runs in the Platte River and Bear Creek had to be seen to be believed. They provided Michigan with its first complete source of 8 million home-grown coho eggs and allowed tens of thousands of surplus fish to be marketed and transferred to additional northern streams. The year’s coho story also had its dark moments, the darkest coming when a September storm claimed seven salmon fishermen in the Frankfort area of Lake Michigan. The .year 1967 also saw other fisheries highlights such as the state’s first plantings of chinook salmon and opening moves to expand trout and salmon hatchery facilities. Making a big mess” of things alongLake Michigan was the Vermontville RAY HAWKINS The Reinhart Zemke family all gathered at Mar­ grets s Christmas night Robert Todds gathered Richard Todd's Sunday.

It was a good year for Conservation Department fire fighters who held forest fire damage to a record low and deer hunters who upped their kill back over the 100,000 mark. It was a time when the Department drew battle lines against the use of persistent pesticides and. forged out a new recreation services division to help meet needs of cities, their aged, handicapped, and underprivileged. Natural resource management received a big boost in 1967 when the State Legislature turned out one of the longest and strongest slates of conserva­ tion legislation ever put together. Among other conser­ vation newsmakers was the gill net controversy. By year’s end, it mellowed into a compromise plan aimed at protecting planted trout and salmon in lakes Michigan and Superior without severely hamstringing commercial fishermen. —Mich.

Director Barr, recalling the severe storm which paralyzed Barry county and much of the midwest last winter, said it would be wise to prepare now for emergencies. He also pointed to the storm which hit the southwest last week, isolating communities, farmers and rangers. "Not only is it vital to prepare for natural disasters, but it is also necessary that we antici­ pate needs which could come from an assault from a foreign power, " Director Barr emphasized. Director Barr also suggested that Barry county families have plans for evacuation of their homes in case of fire, and also to find protection in event of a severe wind storm. "While this season is not necessarily one in which tornadoes may oc­ cur, we should always be mindful that they can happen, " Barr said. Maple Greve DELAYED NEWS MRS.

By ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION TERRIBLE JOB. Thankless. Demanding. Pressure. These words describe what is probably the most difficult job cat­ egory in the state: school superintendent. It seems clearly predictable that fewer and fewer competent men will accept this job, regardless of the salary, unless something changes.

Responsibility and authority to administer school policies as defined by the school board rested in the hands of the school superintendent until recently. The trend is now for him to have responsibility as previously, but less and less authority. What is bringing about the change? Several things, all developing at nearly the same time. .The finan­ cial bind, which has always existed to some de­ gree, is gening much worse. Parent groups, at least in some areas, are becoming more vocal and de­ manding; A generation ago students were expected to mind the teacher, right or wrong. Today's student ac­ cepts no such idea and is apt to soon strike to change things as he thinks they should be. Demands of society are increasing. A school must now provide better and more expensive education if students are to be trained for desirable jobs or for institutions of higher learning.

Last year 93 superintendents' jobs changed hands. By July 1 this year, 52 more changes had Deen made. The MSU Placement Bureau listed 34 open­ ingsThis astounding turnover emphasizes the problem. The " impossible position" in which the superinten­ dent finds himself causes more of them to retire early, ask for reassignment as principals or teach­ ers, or to leave the school system for other admin­ istrative jobs. At the same time, fewer and fewer young men want to put up with the pressure and are unwilling to prepare themselves for the difficult re­ sponsibilities. "Appreciate the Superintendent Day" might be a good idea. In many smaller communities, the school is the biggest industry. In all communities it is one of the most important. Wise school boards and thoughtful-citizens will develop a new appreciation for the problems of the school superintendent and stimulate this apprecia­ tion in others. The alternative is to see mote and more capable men abandon the field beaten down by too much pressure; frustrated from too many problems; ham­ strung by too much responsibility with too little authority; exhausted from too many demands on their time. This leaves the community with still another de­ manding problem: what will happen to the school system? OLD TIMERS A small office, one desk, three file cabinet»*and two chairs constitute the state office of the United Spanish War Veterans. Only 10 members attended last year's annual state convention. There are less than 9, 000 veterans of the War of '98 still alive; about 200 of them reside in Michi­ gan. The average age of these veterans is 90. Royal S. Peters, manager of the lute facility, re­ members when the organization was a moving force in the nation. His time is now spent on visits to hospitalized Spanish Wat veterans, publishing a communications piece six times a year and "trying to bold things to­ gether. ’ Entirely state supported, the organization oper­ ates on a slim $14, 000 per year. All expenses must be paid from this amount, including a secretary. Peters’ salary, travel expenses, office upkeep and miscellaneous. the number held in Lana listed a total of 44 camps o in one year.

Teachers are now "unionized. " The Michigan Education Association, which was once an organi. zatipn of "professional"people, was stimulated into militancy by competing teacher organizations which demanded higher pay and better conditions. It now exerts as much pressure on school superinten­ dents as does any union. Principals are organizing too. They have their ideas of what should be expected of them and how they should be paid for their services. State and federal governments make more and more demands and requirements. These range from setting minimums of standard performance for schools to laws about the way the school can be op­ erated. MAY 15 | Muskellunge and northern J. pike fishing begins on non­ trout inland lakes and streams. The Mi 'although association was Uy organized in JUNE 15 Black bass season extended to Lake St. Clair and the St. Clair and Detroit rivers. Hospital employees are guests of medical staff On Wednesday evening, December 6, employees of Pennock Hospital were guests of the Medical Staff for the annual "Doctor's Christmas Party. ” This an­ nual event is a gift from the individual doctors and is much anticipated by employees of the hospital Leason Sharpe Memorial Hall provided a perfect setting for a memorable evening. Following the invocation, which was given by Dr. Morrill, a delicious turkey dinner was enjoyed b y everyone. Douglas H. Castleman, M. D. was the Master of Ceremonies, and assured the joviality of the after-dinner entertainment. The Hastings High School choir, under the direc­ tion of Herbert Moyer, provided the musical enter­ tainment. Once again the audience was thrilled with their excellence. Dr. Huebner announced that a small note of ser­ iousness might be appropriate to the occasion, and with the audience prepared for some sombre thoughts of Yuletide wisdom, gave two humorous readings which started out sombre enough, but soon exhibited their mirthful nature. An unannounced, unrehearsed, play was presented. Not only was it unannounced and unrehearsed, but the actors were unnotified in advance of their pans in the play. "King" Dr. Myers was as regal as if he had rehearsed, and spoke his lines with the proper aplomb. "Queen" Hans Buecken looked beautiful in his (her) royal robes and golden crown. Poor Hans had not a single line but his pantomime ability was a sight to behold. The part of the beautiful princess was portrayed by none other than Dr. Lundeen, who, alas, had only to stand there and look beautiful, but his appearance was superb. Coming to announce his Master's arrival was Dr. Noah as the Page. Poor Dr. Noah never did get his lines straight, and whether * he changed them intentionally.or not, they were much better his way. Another "actor" who had trou­ ble with his lines was Dr. Spindler as the handsome Prince. Mrs. Kenneth Sage, Director of Nunes, presented a handsome gift from employees of the Hospital to Dr. Raymond Finnie who u retiring after many yean on the Medical Staff. The best wishes of everyone were expressed in a standing ovation as "Dr. Ray" retires from active practice Following the lively distribution olmany door prizes, the evening was conc''>d*^< oy singing sev­ eral carols.

NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN. THURSDAY, JANUARY 4, IBM �KAaiJk \/oJK£>llfl COMBIN£D NASHVILLE NEWS AND VERMONTVILLE ECHO WINTER HAS SOME COMPENSATIONS - SLEET, FROZEN ON THE FENCE AND BRUSH SPARKLES IN THE CRISP WINTER SUN. --News Photo �BACKSTREET BAROMETER Our legislator, Stanley Powell dropped in to talk with me for a few minutes on Saturday. He was here for a meeting of the Michigan Milk Producers Association at the Methodist church and after the meeting was over, he came in to visit a while. When you talk to a man who is working in govern­ ment this way you can realize what a difficult job it is. Most of the people in the district will not let him know how they feel about a certain bit of legisla­ tion until it has passed or failed. They then grab him and bend his ear about how the vote should have gone the other way, after it is all over. Despite what some of us might think, the work of the legislator does not stop just because the legis­ lature is not in session at that particular time. The re is a raft of committee meetings and meetings with citizens groups. In between that he has numerous dinners and luncheons to which he is invited and where he is expected to say a few words. Stanley tells me that when the legislature is in session he stays in Lansing because there is hardly enough time to commute. When they are not in session (he still attends committee meetings and other meetings) he always checks his bam before going to bed. He says he just can't get out of the habit of checking to see that everything is in good shape before he retires. -Everything seems to be going up, and if we can (at least this believe the' predictions for the future .... year) the prices will continue up. With this in view, it is no wonder that the good old government would decide to bump the price of postage. Those of us who can remember back to the Model-T, prohibition, rag-time-tunes, Herbert Hoover, Peaches Browning, September Morn, horse-drawn milk wagons and steam engines can also remember when it cost 20 to mail a letter. All of a sudden the picfhre of Franklin D. Roose­ velt will again dominate our lives. Time was when F. D. R. 's face was to be seen everywhere. He was in the papers, he smiled at us from the newsreel screen, his picture was on posters admonishing us to do our part during the war. I am not sure when it was decided to put F. D. R. on the 60 sump, but I'll bet that not many people realized that there was a Roosevelt sump. Now, -with the postage bump, the 60 stamp will be the most popular one. There might be a lot of carping about the post­ iment’ but office departmei ' ‘ even at increased rates, post­ jain. I don't know where we can get so age ua much tervice *4 * iur for »u so uiuc little luvucy. money. - » • It was not too long ago when a person had to hire an independent contractor if he wanted a letter de­ livered to a distant city. He would have to hunt up someone who was going to that place and ask him to deliver the letter for him. This is a far cry from the service of today when a letter dropped in any mail box will be delivered anywhere in the world within a few days. Urge residents to have 5-day food supply Barry County's Civil Defense Director, William Barr of 105 Pine Lake is urging all area residents to put in at least a five-day supply of food, fuel and other necessities. Director Barr, recalling the severe storm which paralyzed Barry county and much of the midwest last winter, said it would be wise to prepare now for emergencies. . He also pointed to the storm which hit the southwest last week, isolating communities, farmers and rangers. "Not only is u viul to prepare for natural disasters, but it is also necessary that we antici­ pate needs which could come from an assault from a foreign power, " Director Barr emphasized. Director Barr also suggested that Barry county families have plans for evacuation of their homes in case of fire, and also to find protection in event of a revere wind storm. "While this season is not necessarily one in which tornadoes may oc­ cur. we should always be mindful that they can happen." Barr said. Maple Valley News Nashville News & Vermontville Echo by john boughton I wonder what it cost to send a letter from Chi­ cago to San Francisco via Pony Express? I'll bet it was a lot more than wc pay now for an airmail let­ ter over the same route. ® When our Governor Romney first announced that he going to be a candidate for the office of Presi­ dent of the US, Ids chances seemed not bad at all. Lots of people talked it up and seemed to be behind him. Now where are those people? Suddenly Romney seems to be dropping popularity and the man who still claims he does not want to be a candidate is being touted as the most likely to suc­ ceed. ~ This is the way life is. If you play just a bit hard to get they fall all over themselves trying to get you. If you say you are available they are less anxious to do business with you. ■ December 14,1967 The regular meeting of the Village Council was called to order by.Pres. Rizor with all present.

They attended the play "Cinderella” one evening. Mildred Mater went from there to Peggy Mater's at Kalamazoo and had New Yean dinner at the Sweeden House. Pre­ viously Mrs. Mater spent Christmas with Patty Galla­ gher in Niles. Letters to Editor January 3, 1968 Dear John, Wanted to comment on your paragraphs about what to do with Christmas trees, what with Epiph­ any coming on, but hate to bother you with a phone call, so shall employ my trusty typewriter. We were rather disappointed to learn last year at this time that burning the tree is not allowed in this town, although we understand completely the prac­ tical safety aspects of the situation and would not complain at all, at alL And no town celebration ' to accomplish the same. We have done this every year (till last) that we had a real tree. In my hometown, trees would be put at the curb if the person wished to contribute to the celebration, and young men would take them to the hilltop. Then on Twelfth Night, January 6, un­ der the supervision of the firemen, the whole huge collection would be ret afire. What a sightl Ana what a cure for post-holiday letdown! Neighbors around town not really in close enough relationships to exchange home visits would gather side by side to view the spectacle, swap pleasant­ ries, and make comment that * it was a good year, time wasn't it?" - and for a few minutes, "a ‘ *' _ dark was bad by alL winter, we'd look toward the spot and remember the glow and the feeling.

Publisher; We would like to take this means of thanking the many, many people in the Barry County area for their marvelous cooperation in our recent "Op­ eration Christmas for Kids" in which we provided kits containing clothing and toys for needy chil­ dren. ages 3 to 5, in 13 Detroit day-care centers. As a part of our state ' Involement" program fat 1967, so many people in your area donated either a complete kit or individual items for the kits that we found it impossible to thank each one individu­ ally. We are tony each of them could not have been present at the day-care centers on December 21 to see the eyes of the children as these gifa, perhaps the only oues some of them received during the hol­ idays, were presented to them by our volunteer San­ ta Clauses.

Not unless you are a member of the select few who make up the Varsity Club of Maple Valley high school Curious to find out why I couldn't purchase a Lion's head for a student on his school sweater, I found that the Lion head emblem belonged ex­ clusively to those students only, who were accept­ ed in the Varsity Club, if they wanted them in. Also, that the student body has no emblem at all to distinguish them from any other school or .group, only a nickname " Lions." Though not to knock the Varsity Club, they are the only ones that have something to let oth­ ers around know who they are or what they rep­ resent at games home or away. Did you not know? I didn't, not until the last school board meeting.

CUT REXALL Approximately twenty persons attended the meet­ ing of the Art Group on Monday evening at the Maple Valley High School and watched as Mrs. Eunice Priddy gave a demonstration in portraiture. Miss Jill Sandbrook served as the model and Mrs. Priddy did the demonstration with pastels, explain­ ing the various steps as she proceeded. The dem­ onstration was very informal and questions were asked and discussion conducted as she worked. Following this demonstration a meeting was held where some questions were raised in regard to continuing the workshop type meetings, what the various mem ben were interested in doing, and also in the possibility of receiving definite instruc­ tion from an art teacher. The majority seemed to feel that a regular class, with a teacher, would be more to their needs. It was suggested that Mr. Wolff be contacted in re­ gard to a regular Adult Education class in Art. A number of persons seemed to feel that a course, with some basic pointea in drawing, etc., and then branching off into the various areas such as oil painting, ceramics or sketching, would be the most popular type of class. As an aid in determining if there would be e­ nough persons to make up a class, those interested are asked to call the school, OL3-6868 or the News Office. OL3-3231 and indicate their interest. / St Shampoo Set Permanent Hair Styling Cuts -- Tints Hair Coloring HELEN'S BEAUTY SHOP Closed Wedjesdays 653-3901 7 Ma.

VOGT FUNERAL HOMES CALL OL3-2612 Nashville orCL9-8955 V ermontville A contract to hire Terry Hill for the second se­ mester was approved. A recent graduate of Wester Michigan university with majors in biology, sci­ ence and physical education.The addition of a­ nother teacher would eliminate some teaches hav ing six classes. Periodically classes and organizations ask p e r mission to hold drawings or raffles, or be givenpei mission to sell various articles. The board has def­ initely discouraged this practice, feeling that i t took too much tune away from the studies. Again Monday evening the board went on record as for­ bidding this type of activity. Insurance on buildings and contents and school liability insurance is now due. Before consolida­ tion of the Nashville and Vermontville districts,th< insurance was, of course, held in different com­ panies. Consideration of a package-insurance pol­ icy was discussed at length oy the board, and the board approved this method of future insurance. Th package policy excludes buses which are insured under a different policy. The Charlotte Public schools are inviting other area schools to work with them in providing broad­ er vocational training. On possibly a limited basis, they would rould like to move into a joint program next year. The schools involved would include Eaton Rapids, Bellevue, Olivet, Potterville, Charlotte and Maple Valley. This method would allow bette usage of the teacher in the major area of teacherpreparation, with either the teacher traveling to the various schools or the students taking classes at a central location. The board voted to work with Charlotte in a study of the possibilities. Bids were submitted on draperies or other light control materials for the window areas at the Fulle Street, Maplewood and Kellogg schools. No defin­ ite action will be taken until the materials are ap­ proved by the state fire marshal. A bid for $4, 000 for the school bus garage was submitted by the Bilt-Rite Products, Inc. through their agent, Allen Brace. This will be given furtht study, and will be acted upon at the special meet­ ing later this month. The board will send representatives to a meeting Thursday, January 18, at 8:00 in the Eaton County Superintendent’s office to discuss fixed millage.

Higher postage rates now in effect here Postmasters DeCamp and Frith are reminding mailers that new higher postage rates became ef ­ fective Sunday, January 7, 1968, including the 6­ cents- an- ounce charge for first-class letters. Other rates effective Sunday they noted were:10 cents an ounce for air mail, 5 cents each for postal cards, and 8 cents each for air postal cards. "When you consider that 6 cents will carry a firstclass letter addressed to any one of 200 million per­ sons in 50 states, as well as letters addressed to any of 63 million persons in Mexico and Canada, "they added, "this still remains as one of the biggest bargains on earth." . . The 20 percent raise in first-class letter rates, ef­ fective Sunday, is a smaller percentage raise than that imposed on other types of malt They pointed out that there has been a 24 percent raise in the rates for mailing newspapers and mag­ azines and’a 34 percent hike in the charges for ad­ vertising circulan, "occupant" mail ana other bulk third-class mail items. The new rate provisions also establish important rate changes for heavier first-class mail pieces, the Postmasten explained. If the first-class mail piece weighs more than 13 ounces, it will go automatically by the fastest trans­ portation available--meaning air service usually. "Heavier fint class pieces, above 13 ounces, will be merged with air parcel post under a single rate schedule, " they said, " and all air mail above 7 ounces also will be subject to the air parcel post rate schedule." The postmasten assured local residents plenty of one-cent stamps are on hand for use with any existingstocks erf 5-cent sumps they may have on hand. There are also adequate supplies of 6-cent stamps to meet the new first-class letter rate available at the postoffice, they Mid. The higher rates became effective Sunday also for other categories of mail used primarily by large-volume mailers. These include bulk thirdclass advertising mail rates, special rates for books, films and records. The postoffice is working closely with commer­ cial mailen to provide them with every possible assistance in complying with the technical provis­ ions of these rate changes. WCTU TO MEET The W. C. T.

Faster delivery promised for servicemen overseas Parcels weighing up to 30 pounds will be airlifted at new low rates at Army and Fleet Postoffices serv­ ing American miliury personnel throughout the world after January 7, Postmaster General Lawrence F. O'Brien announced. The airlift service will be provided on a space a­ vailable basis upon payment of domestic parcel post surface rates plus a flat $1 fee, Mr. O'Brien sai<£ "This major expansion of airlift will mean much faster delivery on packages sent to our servicemen stationed far from home, " the Postmaster General said. To qualify for airlift at the new special rate, a package must weigh no more than 30 pounds and be not more than 60 inches in combined length and girthThe airlift service will be available on packages mailed to all miliury personnel at APO and FPO addresses overseas, and in Alaska, Hawaii and Puer­ to Rico. It also will apply to parcels mailed by ser­ vice personnel from these offices. On parcels going overseas, payment of the $1 fee will mean air transporution all the way—from the point of mailing to the port of embarkation, and mi from there to the overseas base. In the past, to get this service the posul patron had to pay air parcel post rates. . In many insunces the new airlift rates will be considerably below comparable air parcel post charges. For example: • A mother in Chicago sending a 15-pound pack­ age to her son in Vietnam will pay $4. 30 for the new airlift service. The air parcel post rate for the ume package is $12. 08. * A five-pound package will be airlifted from New York to Vietnam for $2. 45. The air parcel rate is $4. 08. • A 10-pound package going from New York to Frankfort will cost $1.55 under the airlift service. The air parcel rate for the ume package is $5. * The airlift rate for a 6-pound package from San Francisco to Vietnam will be $1.45. The air parcel rate is $3. 08. Mr. O'Brien pointed out, however, that is will not always be to the mailer's advanuge to use the airlift service. In some insunces, depending on the weight of the package and the disunce it must be hauled in the United States, air parcel post rates will be lower than the charges for the airlift service. Mr. O'Brien advised postal patrons to check with their local postoffice for information on the best service to use in mailing parcels to miliury per­ sonnel overseas. The new airlift service is being set up under provisions of the Posul Rate Bill signed into law December 16 by President Johnson. In enacting the bill Congress directed the Postoffice Depart­ ment to make the airlift service available and to establish a flat fee to cover the additional cost of using air instead of surface transporution for haul­ ing the parcels in the United States, The regular postage on parcels mailed to or from servicemen at APO and FPO addresses is bas­ ed on the distance hauled within the United States. No charge is made for carrying the parcel between the US port and the overseas base. Under the old regulations airlift for parcels to and from overseas military personnel was restrict­ ed to packages weighing up to five podnds. Upon payment of the regular parcel post rates, these packages get surface transporution to the port of embarkation and are airlifted from there to the overseas posts on a space available basis. There is no extra charge for this partial airlift and overseas parcels weighing up to five pounds will continue to be handled in this manner. The new posul rate law also expands the airlift of news publications to miliury personheL Now news publications are airlifted only to Vietnam. Ef­ fective January 7, the airlift expanded to cover Armed Forces Postoffices in isolated, hardship and . combat support areas overseas and areas where sur­ face transportation is not available.

Mrs. Souder, who lives alone, was about ready to retire when she noticed a red glow through curtains she used to shut off the front area of the home. She immediately called her neighbors across the street, the Fred Acketts, and Mr. Ackett immediately went to her aid while Mrs. Ackett called the fire depart­ ment. The fire apparently started on or near a card ta­ ble which was stacked with cards and papers.Most of the damage was from smoke and water, although some of the furniture in the living room was charred. According to Fire Chief Forrest Babcock the fire may have started from defective wiring. The firemen battled the blaze for nearly two hours. Ov er heated furnace Friday morning the Nashville fire department was called to the Harry Jones residence 1 1/2 miles south on M-66 when an over-heated furnace set fire to the garage. A quantity of small tools were d e stroyea but a snowmobile and tractor were not dam­ aged. The tools were used by Mr. Jones in his work as a mechanic. Fire burns 4 hours In sub-zero weather the Hastings and Nashville fire departments fought a fire at the Loy Smith farm home, 6309 E. Center Road, six miles northwest of Nashville, from midnight until 4 a. m. Monday. 1 According to Fire Chief Forrest Babcock, the fire started from an over-heated stovepipe in the living room area and quickly spread to various partitions. The fire was discovered when Mrs. Helen Walsh, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Loy Smith, got up to feed her two-months old son, Joseph. Mr; Smith called the Hastings fire department. They responded to the call, but since the Smith home is in the Nashville fire district, alerted the Nashville department. Both departments remained on the scene. They refilled their tankers several times from nearby Mud Creek, breaking through die ice. "There was Fire in every partition", said Wesley Erwin, the secretary of the Nashville department, " and the furnishings were all badly smoke and water damaged. " The furniture from the living room and dining room areas was moved out. Mr. Smith said he could not estimate the loss, which is covered by insurance. The Smiths, Mrs. Walsh and her two children and Allen Cozart who makes his home with the Smiths, are staying temporarily with Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Reid in a trailer next door. Mrs. Reid is a daughter of the Ley Smiths. Fire report December 31--Leslie Thompson, Devine Road. January 3--Mrs. Cevilla Souder, Reed St., House Fire.

By the time the Vermontville fire department was notified of the fire in the Archie Martin barn, it had advanced to a stage where the firemen could do little more than to keep it from spreading to other buildings. Here the bam has burned almost to the ground line. —News Photo Barn, stock des troyed The Vermontville Volunteer Fire Department battled temperatures of near zero as well as fire on Saturday morning when they were called to the Ar­ chie Martin farm on Brown Road, just north and east of Vermontville. A Urge barn, about 100 x 80 feet burned to the ground in the bitter cold early dawn. The fire had sufficient start that most of the structure was de ­ stroyed before the volunteers could get to it with water. Ten cows and 35 hogs and four sows were lost in the bam as were a pick-up truck, a tractor, some other tools, a Urge quantity of hay and grain and some straw. Anomer tractor was pulled from the Farmer Education Schedule All local farmers and others in agricultural related occupations are invited to attend the 1968 adult farmer education classes. The meetings began on Thursday, January 4, and will continue through March 21, at which time, there will be a potluck supper in the highschool cafe­ teria. All meetings at the Maple Valley school will be held in the agricultural room. These adult classes are designed to be informal discussions between farmers and others that attend.

Due to being in college this fall, not all of the classes will be held at Maple Val­ ley. There will be meetings with Mr. Ronald Steven and some of his adult classes at Lakewood. There will also be three of the Lakewood meetings to at­ tend, so check the schedule below. The topics for the meeting this year were set up by John Viele, Bill Swift, Phil Scott, Albert Bell and Mick Rockafellow.

The fire was discovered by Danny Cook, who lives and farms just across the road from the Martin farm. Cook, who was doing his chores looked across the road and saw the bam in flames. He ran to the Martin residence and reported the fire. The Ver­ montville department was immediately called and they arrived within a few minutes of the call, but the fire by that time had engulfed the building. Mrs. Martin left the house, within easy sight of the barn at7s.rn. when she went to Vermontville and at that time she saw no evidence of fire. Mr. Martin stepped out on the back porch to look at the thermometer at somewhere around 7:10 and he saw no evidence of fire. It was only a few min­ utes later that Cook saw the bam in flames. The Nashville department was called to assist the Vermontville department with a water truck. Though it was bitter cold, there was little wind, greatly reducing the danger of the fire spreading to other buildings nearby. The origin of the fire has not been determined. Mr. Martin said the barn was covered by insurance.

Farm Shows begins their run of 50 Corn-Soybean Clinics and 40 Livestock Clinics this month. The all-new, 1968 version of the clinics will provide new and exciting information. For example, the Corn and Soybean Clinics with its team of experts will discuss uses of insecticides, fertilizers, herbicides, proper seeds, cultivating and planting practices, harvesting and storage. Emphasis will be placed on narrow rows, minimum tillage, etc. Case histories of successful practices utilized in 1967 will be covered. At the Livestock Clinics, the Experts will cover: uses of antibiotics, wormers, feed and feeding practices, artificial insemination and breed­ ing, proper hay and forage practices, plus storage procedures. Each Clinic day will be full, but the emphasis is on more NET PROFIT for the farmer Farm Shows' Clinics with their Meet the Experts panels maintain that practices and procedures farmers used two, three years ago may not be adequate today . . . agriculture is changing that rapidly. To determine the Clinic nearest you (if you are a farmer, you should attend both a Corn-Soybean Clinic and a Livestock Clinic), check the respective lists and maps appearing on the opposite page.

Notice the contrast in the two kernels shown at the left. The base of the kernel Is the last to fill. If the flow of nutrients from the stalk to the kernel is inter­ rupted, the base of the kernel is more narrow and pale yellow or white in appearance—not broad and full-shoul­ dered. HEAVYWEIGHT CORN MEANS MORE BUSHELS GIVE 3 Packets, 3 Best Finding money is always a pleasant experience. It’s even more enjoyable when there's no worry about someone having lost it So when a farmer in northern Illinois found $300 in com profits he didn’t know he had, it made the day considerably brighter. It happened when he shelled out a 1,300-bushel bin of com and found that it held , 1,600 bushels at a test weight of 61 pounds. The elevator even gave him a voluntary pre­ mium of one cent a bushel because of the high quality.

He happened to notice that one corn variety consistently tested at 57 pounds or more per bushel, compared with 50 to 53 pounds for other varieties. In a field test, he found that the weight advantage averaged out to 17 bushels per acre. In St. Louis ... THE HILTON INN IS A HONEYMOON HIDE-AWAY! One central Illinois farmer found that his truck held 35 bushels more of an XL variety than of another. And in north-central Iowa where two farmers share a crib, they shelled out 105 and 200 bushels more from one 1,400-bushel side than the other in two consecu­ tive years, thanks to a heavier variety. Scientists with DeKalb explain that the weight of a kernel of corn varies most in the shoulder (near the cob), the last section to fill in. The weight is lower when the flow of nutrients from the stalk to the kernel is interrupted by any of sev­ eral causes. These obstacles to high com weight include too little disease or insect resistance, ina­ bility to withstand the stresses of high plant population and narrow rows, and other factors in modem com production. In north central Iowa two broth­ ers who shell com throughout the neighborhood have seen 10, 15 and 20-bushel differences in the capacity of their truck strictly on the basis of test weight of the hy­ brid. This is also the elevator operator who liked to top his car loads with XL com. He would hold up a car for a truck load of XL corn that he' Richard Pitstick of Virgil, Illinois found test weight to be one of the biggest factors affecting yield dif­ ferences between hybrids in 1966. Although vol­ * ume harvested varied little from hybrid to hybrid, the weight difference was substantial. knew was coming.This same man would put XL com in a separate bin so that he could blend it in the proper proportions later when he filled cars for shipment to the ter­ minal market In north central Illinois two farmers share a crib with the same capacity on each side. XL hybrids have shelled out 105 bushels more and 200 bushels more in two consecutive years. Each side of the crib holds 1400 bushels. When investigating the cause behind the variation, it became quite clear by checking the elevator tickets and noting the test weights. One of the best loads of grain to come into the elevator last fall was XL-346; it had a test weight of 59 lbs. Because careful breeding of com seed is the basic influence on com weight per bu­ shel, researchers are making careful selection based on genetic capability. Today's in­ tensive cropping practices put com varieties to a tough test of overall quality. On the farm, though, net cash return over costs is the big test of variety performance. And a difference of 17 bushels per acre just on weight means an extra profit of $1,700 or more for every hundred acres of com. Not a bad way to find money.

No one was injured in the mishap. Justin D. Cooley was appointed village assessor Thursday evening at the regular meeting of the common council. Appointment was made by vil­ lage president James Rizor and the approval of the council. The oath was administered ny the clerk, Mrs. Ada SkedgeU. Chief of Police Donald Langham reported he had handled 119 complaint* during the month of December. Included among the call* were car ac­ cident*, 'Stolen property, breaking and entering, simple larceny, lost property; violation* of the farm arms law; dog complaint* in which one perron was bitten; dog* disposed of; paper* served; liquor in­ spections; family trouble; malicious destruction of property under $100; traffic summon* issued; bouse check* made; disorderly conduct in public place*; abandoned cats and in the juvenile arrests or in­ vestigation* there were breaking and entering; lar­ ceny ny trickery and wayward minor*. Lined among the arrests were one for drunk and disorderly; two traffic warrants; reckless driving; simple assault; a stolen car; disorderly conduct charge. In addition Mr. Langham, a* zoning and building administrator, handledsix miscellaneous complaints, issued two permit* and made two inspection*. The village ha* already used nearly $1, 300 worth of salt this year, beside* the cost of having it spread on the streets. The superintendent of the street department, Jim Erwin, has listed some improvements he would like to have considered when tne budget is made up this year. The list was turned over to the chairman of the street committee, Harold Norris, for consider­ ation. The budget will be completed by March. The village clerk read a letter from the state highway department concerning a request for a street sign which would direct traffic to the Maple Valley Junior-Senior high school. The proposedsign was for the M-66-Reed street intersection. The let­ ter, in part, read: "It is true, as you have mentioned in your letter, that only official signs, installed the' Department of State Highways,0 are allowed by the .... — . .

NUMBER 34 Phone hold-up delays fire department call Reluctance of a woman to give up a party line caused delay in a Coats Grove man to get a fire call in to the Hastings rural fire department Sat­ urday morning. The incident is under investiga­ tion by the Michigan Bell Telephone Company. About 10:15 am there was an explosion In tne residence of Noah Keith on Coat* Grove road. The explosion shook the trailer of Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Friend who live across the street. They looked out to see the Keith residence in flames and immediately Mt. Friend went to the phone to call for help. It was a "good seven minutes" before he was able to get the call through because of the party who would not hang up. Meanwhile the Woodland fire department was alerted, and arrived before the Hastings department. The cause of the explosion is still unknown, but the fire made such fast progress that the two-story home, purchased about a year ago by the Keiths, was so badly gutted it is beyond repair. There was no one at home at the time of the explosion. Mr. Keith had gone to the home of a neighbor and Mrs. Diane Keith, hi* wife, was at work at the Hastings Court Street Grill. Their yearold daughter, Vivian, had been taken to the home of a baby sitter in Hasting*. Nothing was saved from the house. Fire was shooting through the roof and from the windows when the department* arrived. The Keith* have insurance. Fire tn automobile causes motor damage An automobile, driven by Marlene Ackett of Nashville, caught fire Wednesday morning of last week. The Nashville Fire Department answered the call. Mis* Ackett was on her way to school in Bat­ tle Creek and the incident occurred on M-66 near Lacey Road. The motor area of the automobile was badly damaged. gym. --Nev* raoto �Golf Champions BACKSTREET BAROMETER , We have had a bunch of fire calls within the last few week*. Thi* is the time of year when stove* and furnace* overheat and cause trouble. Thi* is also the time of year when it is particu­ larly unpleasant to be out in the cold squirting water around. In near zero weather, water turn* to ice darn fast and valve* can freeze up before you know it. Along with thi*, a man can get awfully cold out there with icicle* hanging from hi* nose and water in his boots. It takes real dedication for a man to go out and fight a fire in wintery weather such as we have been having. Even in the middle of the summer, it is a dam thankless job. The Nashville volunteer firemen got out early Sunday morning for another cold job. This time it was not a fire but they helped member* of the Chamber of Commerce take down the Christmas decorations from the streets. I sometimes wonder if the people of the com­ munity realize just bow much these men are doing for us. While we are on the subject of fires, we might as well mention that we got some bad publicity through a fire. Wesley Friend tried to get the phone to report a fire Saturday. He was attempting to call the Hastings fire department to report a fire. A woman who was using the party line refused to give it up so that Friend could report the fire. She complained that she had just got the line and would give it up when she was finished with her conversa­ tion. The line was held up for about seven minute* and the house burned down before the fire depart­ ments from Hastings and Woodland could control the fire. It was just fortunate that there was no lots of life in the fire. Had children been burned, as is often the case in a bouse fire, we would have had much more and much worse publicity. The Telephone Company is investigating the in­ cident now. The woman who held the line up could be prosecuted for doing so. She knows what her refusal to give the line up cost someone. She probably does not care. This type seldom doe*. She, no doubt, has all sort* of justification in her mind for what she did. There is little hope that what she did will bother her con­ science a nit. This type does not seem to have much in the way of conscience. There u one thing she should keep in mind, though. Everyone on that party line is known so it wUl not be impossible to narrow it down con­ siderably; Some of the people on the line may not have been home at the time of the incident. That would eliminate them. It might be dam easy to pin-point the one who held the line while a bouse burned. Letter To The Editor Dear John and Amy Boughton: It is that time of the year again to renew our subscription for the news. We look forward to receiving the paper each week; it is like a visit when we are so far away. We hope that this new year brings loads of good things to you and your family and while we are not having any of that snow and ice, we do not envy any of you that pleasure, while we are not doing any swimming we have not had to use a coat as yet. A sweater has been all that was re­ quired to be comfortable, a* we are in the north­ ern part of the state. We do enjoy the few cool night* that we may have, but so tar one night it was supposed to get cool and I put a blanket on the bed but had to remove it before the night was over. Looking forward to another year of good new* from you.

LIFE'S LIKE THAT DEPARTMENT — Through the hottest days of the summer, the village truck with the snow plow blade remained operational and in good shape. The first day of the biggest snow yet thi* season, though, u just the time for the truck to be involved in an acci­ dent and put out of operation for at least a week. Back in the middle of the summer if a snow plow went on the fritz, we could have borrowed one from someone else. But now - everyone has all of their plows in use. These things never happen at a convenient time. Bill Perry (left) Machine Repair and Lee Christo­ pher, shipping of Owens-Illinois in Charlotte, are shown here with 1967 Golf Championship Trophies.

When she started to walk she fell, but managed to crawl to the telephone where she told the operator her trouble* who sounded the alarm. The Fire Depart­ ment came with the Rescue Car. Gary Reed broke into the house and she was taken to HGB hospital where they are short of help.

NABKVBXZ, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY. JANUARY IS. 1968 �Will offer course in art instruction Dedicate Indian Exhibit Superintendent Carroll Wolff made the announce­ ment this week that art instruction will be offered as an Adult Education class in the Maple Valley School system if there is enough interest to warrant the class. Those who are interested should attend a meeting on Monday, January 22, at 7:00 pm in the Art Room at tne High School. Mrs. Christine Emery, the art teacher in the high school, will be present to discuss the class with those who are interested. Mr. Wolff indicated that the class could run approximately 10 weeks for a charge for the class of $4. 00 each person. The $4 charge would be for the entire series of classes. The interest seemed to be for a class where some basic instruction would be given so those who had never had any art instruction could be encouraged to attend the classes. ■ A new exhibit room depicting strong European influence on the early Indians of Michigan has been dedicated at the Michigan Historical Museum. The new exhibit is the forerunner to several oth­ ers now being prepared at the Museum, officials said. Dedication ceremonies were presided over by Secretary of State James M. Hare and Dr. Lewis Van­ der Velde, Ann Arbor, chairman of the Historical Commission. Other Commission members and His­ torical officials were present for the ceremony. Indian exhibits room covers much of the early In­ dian culture with special emphasis on how European culture influenced Michigan's Red men and altered their customs and mode of living, said Hare. Michigan's Indians were quick to adapt to Euro­ pean ways after permanent missions and military outposts were set up at Sault Ste. Marie and Michilimackinac by French explorers in the late 1600's. Actually, the French... who first visited the northern Michigan area in the 1620's... were inter­ ested in (1) the abundant and rich mineral wealth; (2) the opportunity of helping to convert the I n dians to Christianity; and (3) colonization of the New World. European goods rapidly replaced less efficient stone age implements. Iron kettles, knives, axes, and hoes supplanted stone varieties. Glass beads and cloth replaced native beads and animal skins. The Indians traded for these goods by providing Europeans with beaver pelts, some which were in great demand in Europe. The Indians also rapidly developed a taste for "firewater, " enjoying the white man's brandy and rum. Occupations changed-drastically. Farming re­ placed hunting and fishing, with French and Eng­ lish posts requiring a large food supply. Iron tools replaced stone ones. Indian burials were changed with crucifixes and metal arm bands, the principal European influen­ ces. Locals Mrs. Edith Jones is a patient at Community hos­ pital in Battle Creek. Mr. and Mrs. M. J.

Michigan While the Indians were more profoundly influ­ enced by European ways and culture, the pattern was reversed in the matter of transportation. The settlers adopted most of the Indian methods of mov­ ing about... canoes, snowshoes, and moccasins were ideally suited for traveling in northern forest lands. The most pronounced change was in the methods of waging war with the introduction of firearms and the use of iron knives and tomahawks. Indian mili­ tary tactics changed also from a reliance on small war parties and the element of surprise and stealth. European type warfare was adopted. The siege of Detroit is a good example.

MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JANUARY 18, IBM �OBITUARIES New postal service offered Angus MacLeod A new service making it possible for postal cus­ tomers to get the new address for first-class mail that is forwarded will go into effect January 7, Post­ master General Lawrence F. O'Brien reported today. First-class mail is forwarded at no extra charge when the addressee has left a forwarding address, but in the past there has been no provision for sup­ plying the sender the new address. Under the new service the Postoffice will, when requested, supply the sender the corrected address upon payment of a 16-cent fee. To get the new service, Mr. O'Brien said,senden of fim-class mail must write "Address Correc­ tion Requested" below the return address. The, if the piece of mail is forwarded, a postoffice form showing the new address will be delivered to the sender and 15 cents collected. The new service is part of a revision of address correction regulations and charges established under the new postal rate law, the Postmaster General pointed out. . t In enacting the postal rate bill. Congress directed the Postoffice Department to provide address correc­ tion service for mail of all classes that is undeliver­ able as addressed. The law also requires the charge for address corrections to be uniform for all classes of mail and to be set at a level that covers the cost of providing the service. The charge for address corrections under the old system was 10 cents for second-class mail and a minimum of eight cents for third-class and fourth class mail, depending on the weight of the piece. or the reason it is undeliverable. On pieces weigh­ ing more than six ounces, the sender requesting an address correction will receive a form containing the old address and the new address or the reasonfor non-delivery.-’ The mail piece itself will not be re­ turned. ■ i Senders of third-class mail weighing more than six ounces who want address correction information and who also want the piece returned must mark their mail "Address Correction Requested Return Postage Guaranteed. " The sender will have to pay the stogie-piece third-class rate for the returned piece plus 15 cents for the address correction infor­ mation. Return and address correction service on fourth­ class mail will be the same as on third-class, ex­ cept return postage will be charged at the fourth­ class rather than the third-class rate. Except for the increase from 10 to 15 cents to the fee, the address correction procedures for secondclass and controlled circulation publications will be unchanged. The Postoffice Department cautioned third class mailers that beginning January 7 pieces bearing the words " Return Requested" will be handled as if they were marked "Address Correction Requested" and will be subject to the 15-cent fee. Mr. O' Brien also reported that effective January 7 a new return service will be available on thirdclass mail. This service will make it possible for third-class mailers to find out that their mail is un­ deliverable as addressed without having to pay the 15-cent address correction fee. Undeliverable third-class mail marked "Return Postage Guaranteed" will be returned to the sender endorsed "Undeliverable as Addressed. " The return­ ed piece will not state why it was undeliverable nor will it list the addressee's new address. The single­ piece third-class rate-six cents for pieces weigh­ ing up to two ounces--will be charge for the return service. Third-class mailers who want the new address or the reason why the piece is undeliverable will have to mark their mail "Address Correction Requested. " They will be furnished the new address or the rea­ son the piece isundeliverable and the 15-cent fee will be collected upon delivery of this information.

Telephone service problems discussed at meeting The Vermontville Chamber of Commerce met Tuesday night, January 10 for the regular monthly meeting with eighteen members present. Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Brumm from the Nashville Chamber of Commerce were guests. After a potluck supper, Dale Briggs, president, told of a letter sent to the Public Service Commis­ sion by George Vogt concerning the extremely poor service the two towns have had with the tele­ phone systems. He then introduced Mr. Herb Cox of Bell Tele­ phone. Mr. Cox talked about the plans for the area. He told the welcome news that Michigan Bell wUl break ground this spring for a new building on the Vermontville-Nashville road across from the Maple Valley Junior-Senior High School Completion date is set for October 1st this year on the building and the cut-over date for the new service is sched­ uled for March 16, 1969. This building will house the equipment for phone service in both Nashville and Vermontville. Mr. Cox stated that each town will retain its own dial­ ing system, that is, Nashville still will be OL 3 and Vermontville CL 9. Mr. Cox gave statistics on monies spent in this area, improvements in cables and service and answered many questions on why the systems seem to have so many problems. He also took names, phone num ben and individual problems and prom­ ised personal attention to these. Mss. Anderson and Mrs. Maunder gave a report on the Christmas decoration contest. They remarked on the many nice decorations this year. The Cham­ ber of Commerce would like to publicly thank the judges for their time and thoughtfulness in judging. A reminder was given that Chamber of Commerce dues are now due. Member cards will be distributed as soon as they arrive. The $12 dues are payable to Mary Trowbridge, treasurer. The Christmas decorations that were ordered late in the summer finally arrived the Wednesday before Christmas and were accepted as it was felt that they might not be available next year and these match those the Village now has. This is a joint project of the Village Council, the Lions Club and the Chamber of Commerce. It was voted to pay the Chamber share of the cost. The letter to the Public Service Commission was discussed and the Chamber voted to wait a reason­ able length of time for improvements and then act if they were not immediately forthcoming. Russ Kerbyson told of tentative plans by the Fes­ tival Corporation to allow parking for 25 trailers over Festival week end, all arrangements to be made "by the Festival Corporation. Mr. Kerbyson was given instructions to notify them that the Chamber of Commerce would back them in their plans but went on record opposing the school park­ ing lot as a place to park them. This area is need­ ed for parade lineup on that day. A survey of private homes for additionafroom for guests is to be done by Hildred Peabody and Mary Trowbridge. There was some discussion on the damage to the ice rink and Christmas decorations but it was felt that this was not entirely the problem of the Cham­ ber of Commerce. New officers for the Chamber of Commerce this year are Dak Briggs, president; Kenyon Peabody, vice-preskient; Louise Viele, secretary and Mary Trowbridge, treasurer.

By Stanley M. Powell, State Representative, 1 89th District. Governor Romney outlined a progressive blue­ print for a better, safer and. cleaner Michigan in his annual "State of the State" message delivered be­ fore a joint session of the Senate and House last Thursday. The Governor called for a rededication of private and public determination to insure human rights and human dignity for all citizens. Other proposals for a "better" Michigan include solutions to grow­ ing local and urban problems, increased support for education, responsible and prudent fiscal policies, encouragement for Michigan employment, legisla­ tion to effectively deal with the public employee crisis, and more efficient and effective social ser­ vice programs. To make ours a "safer” state for everyone, Gov­ ernor Romney proposed a broad program of law en­ forcement legislation, covering the battle on in­ creasing crime as well as riot prevention. He called for reversing the increase of crime in Michigan. Among his suggested proposals for the strengthening of law enforcement, he urged "con­ trolled use of wiretapping, granting of subpoena power to prosecuting attorneys or the attorney gen­ eral by circuit court judges, and allowing judges to grant witness immunity upon petition of the pros­ ecuting attorney or the attorney general. " The Governor also called for legislation to make illegal the possession of Molotov cocktails and oth­ er incendiary devices, prohibit willful blocking of streets and 'highways by demonstrations, and to pro­ vice more severe penalties for interference with firemen in the performance of their duty. The Gov­ ernor said that his administration is totally com­ mitted to the full and just application of the law, to the support of those who enforce and administer the law, and to the protection of our citizens. I would echo that pledge, and will work to see that the crisis of crime in our state is met and reversed. Governor Romney also stressed the importance of lower court reorganization and a renewed offensive for greater highway safety. URGES "CLEANER" STATE Our third primary goal this year will be enacting measures to insure a v' cleaner* Michigan. The Gov­ ernor has . proposed an imaginative and thorough antipollution drive which is certainly of tremendous importance. As principal sponsor of House Bill 2163, a bill to update and improve the Michigan Veterans Home­ stead Tax exemption and bring the Viet Nam vet­ erans and their widows under the protection of this program, I was especially pleased aj the Governor's endorsement of this legislation.

WE'RE OFF TO FAST START The 1968 regular legislative session got off to a fast start last week. In addition to hearing the Gov­ ernor's "State of the State" message, legislators were busy preparing and introducing bills and be­ ginning committee work for the new session. By the time the session convened on Wednesday, January 10, some 550 bills had already been r e quested for drafting in the Legislative Service Bur­ eau. Bill requests are down slightly from the same date one year ago. The reason for this, of course, is that all bills which did not receive final action in 1967 will be carried over to the current session and are still eligible for consideration. The pro­ cess of carrying Dills over promotes a smoother start to the session, and also eliminates a great deal of waste and duplicate effort. House and Senate members agreed last week on a schedule for the 1968 session. Among the im portant dates outlined in the schedule are a Janu­ ary 26 deadline for requesting bills, and a Febru­ ary 26 deadline for introduction of bills. Appro­ priation and taxation bills are not included in these deadlines, which is normal procedure. The schedule contains a tentative adjournment date of June 26. This is not necessarily a final ad­ journment. Depending on circumstances and leg­ islative progress, a decision will be made later as to whether there should be final adjournment, a recess to a specified date, or an extension of the session. Considerable legislative interest is building o­ ver the forthcoming special election in the 23rd State Senate District. A total of 16 candidates have indicated they will run for the vacant seat. In the January 23 primary elections, there will be 14 candidates in the Republican primary and two contestants in the Democratic primary. The candidate who emerges victorious in the February 19 special election will represent the counties of Allegan, Ottawa and Van Buren and part of Barry County in the State Senate. Real Estate Auctioneering Listen**** F0R mx THE UTEST Sports r The most significant overall message in the Gov­ ernor's speech, I believe, is that Michigan must provide each person with the opportunity of enjoy­ ing his constitutional rights, and that every citizen must shoulder his responsibility to be a law abiding, productive member of our society. My Republican colleagues and I feel this is a bold and exciting outline for progress. With these goals to strive for, we foresee an eventful and pro­ ductive legislative session. 270 ACRE DAIRY FARM--with 48 stanchion bam; nice 5 bedroom modem home with 4 bedroom home; 20x60 Harvester silo, ample small buildings for large acreage; 65 acres alfalfa; 75 acre com allotment; can be financed. 155 ACRE DAIRY FARM—near Woodland; ap­ proximately 125 acres tillable; nice modem 3 bedroom home with oil furnace; 48 stan­ chion dairy bam, 3 silos, large toolahed; 68 acres alfalfa, 20 barley; on blacktop road. 131 ACRES VACANT WORKLAND-only 2 miles from Charlotte; lots of alfalfa; many good building sites.

There was a decline in all areas except for ambulance runs made, but this is easily understood since the fire department has taken over the ambulance service for the com­ munity. Twenty six runs were made, 3 grass fires (lowest number ui many yean), 2 appliances, 5 smoke and miscellaneous, one assist and 3 outbuildings and 7 dwellings. The two most regrettable was the total loss of the Wayne Granger residence and a large bam owned by Earl Harmon.

All but four are new. The quartet of previously planted salmon waters includes the Platte,. Little Manistee, and Muskegon rivers and Thompson Creek. This spring’s releases »?f 1.8 million coho fingerlings are designed co provide exciting open-water fishing along much of this state’s Lake Michigan, Superior, and Huron offshore areas in the fall of 1969 when these fish become adults. At the same time, coho runs from this spring’s plantings should yield some bragging-sized catches in the lower reaches of the Ontonagon, Muskegon, Big Manistee, and AuSable rivers. The Department’s 1968 releases of small Chinook smolte will total about 500,000 in the Manistee area, 300,000 in the Muskegon River, and 50,000 near Marquette. Besides these larger-scale plantings, the Department will stock a small number of Chinook in Thunder Bay River under a cooperative study with Alpena Community College. The Muskegon and Manistee areas, first planted with young Chinook last year, are expected to have initial "jack” runs of these fish in their stocked streams this fall. First major con­ centrations of adult chinook are looked for a year later off the mouths of the two areas’ planted rivers. BACKSTREET BAROMETER Every day tome wise guy comes up with a way to get money away from other people without working too hard for it. Of late just about every business place in the neighborhood, and I would assume the entire coun.try, has been flooded with little IBM type cards that look just like they are being sent by the tele­ phone company for Yellow Pages Advertising. This little punched our card even has a picture of a yel­ low phone- type book on a comer of the card. The message states that the name and adress with telephone number of the business will appear this way in the classified directory and please pay this amount. It turns out that this outfit has nothing to do with the Yellow Pages. They are going to put out a di­ rectory that goes to the people who advertise in it so it will be of limited value. They just hope to get a few bucks out of the deal. They probably do all right too. Maple Valley News Here is what the Post Office has to say about it. Postmaster General Lawrence F. O'Brien says the promotea of phony business directories will find 1968 an even "rougher" year than 1967. "Last year two persons were convicted in a US Court for fraudulently mailing solicitations which appeared to be invoices for legitimate directories, four other operaton were indicted, and several pro­ moters quit to avoid possible prosecution or be­ cause public exposure of such schemes reduced their profitability," "Mr. O'Brien said. A recent check by the Postal Inspection Service indicates that the number of fake business directory operaton in Southern California--the area from which nearly all of these promoters work--declined from about 20 in January 1967 to less than 10 in December. * Mr. O'Brien hopes that the Department can vir­ tually eliminate this racket in 1968 as a result of the InsfAction Service's stepped-up drive and a pro­ vision In the Postal Revenue and Federal Salary Act of 1967. The amendment declares that solicita­ tions in the guise of bills or statements of account are non-mauable unless they contain on their face in large and conspicuous type the following notice: ■ "This is a solicitation for the order of goods and services and not a bill, invoice, or statement of account due. You are not under obligation to z make any payments on account of this offer unless you accept this offer, * The Postmaster General may require the use of language ocher than the above. The amendment will become effective March 16. Businessmen receiving solicitations which appear to be bills that do not cany this warning are urged to send the proposal and envelope in which it was mailed to the Chief Inspector, Post Office Depart­ ment, Washington.

JANUARY M. 1968 �Religious meetings well attended 1 K Nearly 70 persons listened to a'two-hour deliber­ ation on religious marten in a meeting held Wed­ nesday evening in the parlots of the Evangelical U­ nited Brethren church. The topic of the dialogue, or panel discussion, was "What Is Salvation?^Participating were the Rev. Fr. John McPhee of Detroit, from the Redemptorist Fathers of the Catholic church, the Rev. Leo­ nard Maunder, pastor of the Congregational church in Vermontville, and the Rev. Ft. Don M. Gury of the Emmanuel Episcopal church of Hastings. This is the first time in the history of Nashville that protestants and catholics have taken part in such a discussion, and the fact that these persons can, without hostility of even debate, shows the desire to understand each other's doctrines. The speakers were in full agreement as to the meaning of salvation. The differences of the sacraments, the infallability of the Pope, and the varied d o c trines were discussed only lightly because of lack of time. After the three speakers had presented their views there was a coffee break and the re­ mainder of the evening was devoted to a question and answer period. Guests were present from Lake Odessa, Vermont­ ville, Hastings and Nashville and because of the intense interest shown it is expected future meet­ ings will be scheduled. It was pointed out that the very basis for unity is to discuss the differences ex­ isting and consider the compromises that might be made. This meeting was arranged by the Rev. Fr. Ray­ mond Moeggenberg of the Lake Odessa and Nash­ ville Catholic churches and the Rev. James Varner, pastor of the host church. Rev. Robert Boyer of the Methodist church gave the invocation, and Rev. Fr. Moeggenberg gave the benediction.

Enclosed is a check for the Nashville News. I do enjoy reading'the paper and seeing the names of relatives and friends of my girlhood days. Wishing all A Happy New Year. Sincerely, Mary B. Clement Los Angeles, Calif. Council Proceedings --News FQOtO BACKSTREET BAROMETER Some of my time over the weekend was spent at die 100th meeting of the Michigan Press Associa­ tion. It was just 100 years ago this year that the editors of Michigan decided to get together. Some .of them are not together yet. On the other hand, some of the wives seem to be well together. That is another story. At these meetings we always get with other peo­ ple who have papers in towns similar to ours, so they have problems similar to ours. It is good for us to find that we are not the only ones with a certain problem. If one town has a problem, most others of the same size and circum­ stances have the same problem. One thing that seems to be happening to small­ er communities is that we are losing some of the services we are used to and they are not being re­ placed by others. Nashville, for instance, had many more stores a few years ago than now. The population of the village has remained the same, or even gone up. At the same time we have fewer retail stores in the village than we have had since the village first started somewhere around a hundred years ago. We are not alone. Numerous little villageshave just ceased to be. For some reason or other the main industry of the town has gone and the entire town went with it. The population move seems to be to the big cities. Our young people move from the smaller communities for the larger centers. They come back for vacations and to visit now and then. They tell us that they miss the many advantages of small town life. They don't particularly like the confusion and the problems of the big town. They say they would enjoy the simpler, easier life of the smaller community, yet they stay on in the city. At least they stay until it is time to retire. There must be a reason why they would endure the disadvantages of the city. Perhaps if we could find .the reason we could offer the same thing to them and they would come back to us. We would be wise, right now, to look forthose things that people find attractive about city life and study them hard. Perhaps we in the boondocks can develop alow the same lines and attract in­ dustry and trade from the larger centers. We had better find those advantages fast and take advan­ tage of them because we'are fast developing the bad things the cities have to offer. Right now we have a fine suit on obtaining the bad things the city has to offer. We have air pol­ lution. at least to a degree, we have a problem Maple Valley News Nashville News & Vermontville Echo NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publication, Inc.

Michigan Barry County, as Second Class Matter SUBSCRIPTION RATES Barry & Eaton Counties $3. 00 per year Elsewhere in United States |3. 60 pet year EDITOR A PUBLISHERS John and Amy Boughton by john boughton of what is there to do for our young people. W e have the problem of inadequate housing, or no housing at all. If we can believe the expens we are due to have more of the problems that spill over from the cities unless we can do something to avoid them. On the ether hand, we have things that are most desirable. We are small enough that we can see our prob­ lems and work them out. We are close to recre­ ation, lakes and open country and in this age of the shorter work week can mean a lot. We nave plenty of room to build houses and room for kids to grow up. If we are smart we will start developing this good side of our town and letting everyone else know about it. We should make an attempt to get more housing and perhaps attract more of the city dwellers to move out here where things are better. Then our town would grew, perhaps not a lot big­ ger, but better. Talk about fog. Saturday night - late - when I was-coming home from the press meeting in L a n sing, it got so bad that I actually could not see the road. A couple of times I had to slow right down to about five miles an hour in order to stay on the road at all. They say the cause of the fog is the warm air coming in on the cold snow. I don’t care what caused it. I'll bet it was as bad in spots along the Potterville road as it gets in London. It was just a year ago last week end that we had the big snow here in Nashville and Vermontville. As a matter of fact, I understand they had it in a good part of Michigan. Last year we could not at­ tend the press meeting because we could not get out of our own drive. This year when I started out for Lansing on Friday morning, it was snowing and for just a brief time I wondered if we were in for it again. If we don't get it during February you can bet your bottom dollar that we will have at least one blinger in March. Get ready for it. — Johnny Dull knows that we like to feed the birds so he sent us a big container of suet filled with seeds for them. Johnny had a surplus of suet and be bought up the seeds and made these things to be hung In a tree. He has distributed them a­ bout the area to the bird feeding crowd. Tell you what, Johnny. The birds who come to our feeder axe not the high class bunch. We don't seem to get the little fellows that make the bird watches oh and ah. The crowd we get are more the sparrows, starlings and an occasional jay. A­ long with them we have a squirrel who enjoys a hand out. But our birds are just as glad to get that suet and seeds as the classy little fellows. 1 don't know about the squirrel, rll bet he will be at the suet and seeds too. That is one of the good things about a small community. Johnny Dull takes his time, his suet and his seeds to make things to hang in the trees because he knows the birds need the suet and seeds and because hr knows people enjoy hanging the Things in the trees so they can watch the birds en­ joying themselves. January 11, 1968 The regular meeting of the Village Council was called to order by Pres. Rizor with all present. The minutes of the last meeting were read and ap-_ proved.

Motion to adjourn by Fedewa and supported by Scramlin. • January 25, 1968 r L James Rizor, President Ada F. -Skedgell, Clerk Farmers express concern about bridge conditions Are Michigan farmers paychic? More than a month before the tragic collapse of the Ohio River bridge at Point Pleasant, West Virginia, delegates to the Michigan Farm Bureau annual meeting expressed concerned over this very problem. The farmer-dele­ gates said that because of fund shortages, bridge maintenance in many rural communities is not keep­ ing up with normal wear and tear. Their concern is very real because hundreds of Michigan school buses operate in rural areas over back-road bridges of an­ cient vintage in many cases. What causes a stout, well-built bridge to weaken? The constant expansion and contraction normal to Michigan weather is a major factor, even when com­ pensated for by the builders. Newer factors include the enormous tonnage of road salt often spread about by snow removal crews, and the occasional structur­ al damage done by massive snowplows or other heavy machinery striking bridge beams, abutments or sides. Not to be ignored is the ever-increasing traffic, as city sportsmen range further from home to seek the elusive deer or the charging Coho salmon, and in the process use more of our older and less sound bridges on the secondary roads of Michigan. Right now, there are about 6, 800 such bridges in our county road systems, which include 87, 038 miles -- Or 77 percent of our total state road sys­ tem. Of this amount, 25,133 miles of county roads are classified as primary roads, with 38 percent of this7 total considered inadequate and in substantial need of repair. Ch 62, 596 miles classified as strictly local roads, 47 percent are considered in­ adequate. Of the nearly 7,000 bridges on these roads, 5,031 have been reported as inadequate -- not implying that they aNasow unsafe, rather, that they are rap­ idly becoming"so in view of today's traffic de­ mands. However, it is a fact that many are unsafe under certain conditions involving heavier vehicles such as trucks and school buses, and have been posted as such. Michigan is nationally known for its wonderful primary highway system. But farmers feel it is high time that our secondary toads - - and their bridges, be brought up to date, - - before Michigan makes the headlines as in the Ohio-West Virginia tragedy.

All ordinances in conflict hereof are hereby repealed. This Ordinance takes effect on the 16th aay of February, 1968. Adopted by the Nashville Village Council January 25, 1968 Ada F. SkedgelL 36-38c "The job of a state legislator today is entirely different than it was in 1931-32, " Representative Stanley M. Powell, R-Ionia, says. Powell was first elected to the State Legislature in 1930 and after one term of office, went back to Srivate life until 1964 when he returned to the ouse representing the 89th district. "The Legislature now is more complex and de­ manding. Ln the thirties, the House was in session four or five months every two yean, " he said."Now it’s a seven day a week, year round job. " "The issues before this year's legislature are an example of some of these demands. Lower court reorganization, open bousing and law enforcement are Ute main ones this time, " Powell said. The Michigan Constitution states that the lower courts must be reorganized and officials elected by 1309, "Last session, I assumed the Legislature would only replace the 'justice of the peace' position without upsetting the municipal courts, " Powell said. "But the bill was broader then necessary and gathered opposition." Powell said he hoped the bill would be more mod erate this time. "Open bousing doesn't directly affect the 89th district, and most people there oppose it," Powell said. Powell voted for open housing last session but won't speculate whether it will pass this session. "Open housing will pass only if law enforcement measures pass to insure respect for property and the Communities report on March of Dimes. Harry Lekrone has reported the Mothers collected $212. 06 in their March last week. Mrs. Alberta Lew­ is was chairman. There will be a complete report in a later paper when the rural areas have finished their calls. It was suggested that anyone who wishes to give and isn't contacted, may send his contribution to Mt. Lekrone, Route 1, Nashville, or put a contri­ bution in one of the cannisters in the stores. The chairman of the Mothers March in Vermont­ ville reported that a total of $97.35 was collected at the village's first March. Mb. Elon Baker was chairman thrs year. Free Clinics available in Eaton County The Health Department wishes to remind the pub­ lic that free immunization clinics for the children are held in its office in Charlotte the first Wednes­ day morning of each month. Available at these clinics are all the required routine immunizations including measles vaccine, and tuberculin tests. Due to a shortage of nursing personnel, it will be impossible to set up clinics around the county this spring for the pre-schoolers, so we urge those who wish the department to do these, to plan to attend one of the monthly clinics. Parents are urged to have this done early, as sev­ eral of the "shots" cannot be given at the same time, so it takes 2 or 3 months to complete the series. law, " he said. "You won't get one passed without the other." , . ., Law enforcement legislation would be heavily laced with riot control measure to curb riots such as last summer in Detroit. " The amount of money involved in state govern­ ment is another changing aspect, " Powell said. "The scope of the budget has mushroomed over the years. ’’ Aid to education makes up over half the state's total expenditures and is a complicated area of con­ cern, he said. Schools must have funds to provide for an increased enrollment and widening scope of services, such as transportation and extra curricular activities. Some schools have had to raise millage. Lake­ wood and Pewamo-Westphalia school districts were forced to curtail part of their programs until they could get millage increases, he said. "On top of this, aid to higher education must be considered, “ he said. Powell hopes several of his bills will be passed this session. One bill is designed to make reflectorreflectorized “ license plates mandatory on all Michigan cars L_.* ------------------------------------an d trucks. and " Reflectorized plates would allow abandoned cars along the highway to be easily spotted and warn — motorirtF motorists to stay clear. Headlights bum out but reC____ ;__ ' tpaint does not,. " be said. flectorized "Law enforcement officers offices could read license nUres <easily at night. This would help when look­ plates ’ing for ' ecific cars," he said. is sponsoring part of a bill which would Powe-------r--------- a , ---------------. allow counties and townships to contract with and subsidize private firms to provide ambulance ser­ vice* This bill will hopefully meet the crisis created when funeral directon began stopping their ambu­ lance service because of various reasons, including medicare, Powell said. Powell's bill to revise and improve the system of veteran's homestead exemptions reflects his mem­ bership on the Military and Veterans Affairs Com­ mittee. Powell is chairman of the Towns and Counties Committee which has 41 bills to go over this ses­ sion. A farmer in private life, Powell is on the Agri­ culture Committee. He is also on the Revisions to Amendments to the Constitution Committee.

The Bureau will be operated at the office of the village clerk, Mrs. Ada Skedgell, as a part of her duties, and fines may be paid during her regular hours. The bureau will be effective February 16. Supt. of the Sanitation Department, William Cassidy, Supt. of the Streets and Water Depart­ ment, James Erwin, the Chief of Police Don Lang­ ham ask the council to draw up a one-year con­ tract with each. Langham also serves as Zoning Ad­ ministrator. He asked to be relieved of these du­ ties and the contract be drawn up only for his po­ sition as Police Chief. The council approved the request and the contracts, as drawn up by Attn. Horace Powers of Charlotte, will be ready at the next council meeting. The council also adopted a new ruling regarding the two taverns. After March 1, both taverns will remain closed on Sundays, and there will be no serving of beer or wine after midnight. By 12:30 a. m. everyone must be out of the taverns. Hereto­ fore each tavern was permitted to open every other Sunday and the regular closing hour was 2 a. m. The new ruling was adopted in order to provide better control and because other taverns in the area are closing at midnight. This provided a big in­ flux of out-of-town drinkers coming into Nashville after midnight. At the next meeting, February 8, next year's proposed budget will be presented. A letter was read from Allen D. Brace, president of the Bilt-Rite Construction, Inc. concerning some property he wished to acquire for the p u r pose of offices, warehousing and manufacturing. Presently the area is zoned for residential, not in­ dustriaL The crux of the matter is the bid for the property was rejected. Now Mr. Brace is looking for a place to store some equipment until other property can be secured. The council voted another $250 to the fire board. The new traffic bureau has been under consider­ ation of the council for several weeks. Under a lo­ cal bureau it will make it. easier for violators to pay their fines. Presently citations are handled by the municipal judge in Hastings. This means num­ erous trips to Hastings by the local Police Chief. The fine monies will now be paid locally and the monies will be put into the general fund for the village. Under the new setup in event the violator does not accept the citation and pay the fee then the officer issuing the citation is authorized to issue a citation on the basis of warrant for prosecution of such violation. The new ordinance lists certain violations which will be handled locally.

This is actually a renewal of the five mills that expired with the 1967 levy plus three mills to help cover increased operational costs. The millage will be voted for a period of two years. The board of education desires to offer a g o o d educational program, and a good competitive sal­ ary schedule is necessary to employ new teachers plus being able to hold'experienced teachers in the school system. Negotiations with teachers and non­ teaching employees will begin soon. The school district ended the past school year on June 30, 1967, with a general fund balance of $132, 397. 24. The board of education expects to end this school year June 30 with a good balance, but the balance will be decreased somewhat. It is necessary for the district to end the school year with a sizeable balance if the school district is a­ ble to operate without having to borrow. Also the school district has to meet payrolls and mainten­ ance expenses during the summer months at a time OBITUARIES Ermund Strong Ermund J. Strong, 4010 Morgan Rd., Nashville, died Tuesday, January 30. As the News goes to press, there are no further details.

Born October 21, 1885, in Roxanne township, Ea­ ton County, she was a daughter of Joseph and Nan­ cy (Wise) Kelley. Her only survivors are a brother, William Kelley of Greenville and a niece, Mrs. Gerald Lundstrum, Route 3, Nashville. Services were held Saturday, January 27 at 2 p. tn. from the Vogt Funeral home with the Rev. C. C. Gibson officiating. Burial was made at Lyons, Michigan.

They celebrated die birthdays of Deidra Sprinkle, Natalie Casterline, Linda Higdon, Julie Sheldon and Victor Higdon. when the school district is not receiving any in come from taxes or state aid. Since the time o f consolidation the board of education has not had to borrow money for operational purposes. Until a time when the state sets the percent of reimburse­ ment for extra services this year such as transpor­ tation, remedial reading, and special education; it is impossible to determine the total amount of state funds the school district will receive. The in­ crease in the amount of state aid per student this year was less than $15 or less than one-third the amount of increase per student the previous year. This year's state aid act requires that a school district levy ten mills for full participation in state aid. The school district has been forced ro levy in the past the lower of the two amounts al­ located by the Barry and Eaton counties allocation boards. TTiis amount in Barry county has been eight mills. Therefore, additional millage must be voted if the school district is to continue r e ceiving the full amount of state aid. Extra oper­ ational millage is needed not only for financial operational purposes, but also to guarantee full state aid. The loss of one-fifth our state aid would be about $114, 174. 00 this year. It is also expected that additional bus runs will be necessary for the 1968-69 school year. Three new buses have been ordered for next year. t Plans for the special election were set up at a special meeting of the board of education held Tuesday evening, Jan. 23, held in the office of Supterintendent Carroll Wolff. In other business the board approved the pur­ chase of window coverings or draperies for rive rooms at Maplewood school, three at the Fuller street school and seven rooms at the Kellogg school. The cost was $2, 374. There was considerable discussion of students and curriculum for next year, and the number of cred­ its needed for graduation. No action was taken,but further discussion will be continued in future meet- ki lieu of a county institute this year, and b e cause students must be in classes 180 days, they will attend half-day sessions on Monday, February 5. In the afternoon the junior-senior high school staff will hold in-service session, and the elemen­ tary teachers will hear a representative from the Palmer Handwriting company of Schaumburg, I1L , talk on handwriting. Superintendent Wolff, high school principal For­ rest Rinehart and elementary principal Robert Stew­ ard will attend a meeting in Charlotte February 27 pertaining to a program on a combined vocational program for Eaton Rapids, Charlotte, Bellevue, Ol­ ivet, Potterville, and Maple Valley schools. Poss­ ibly some plans can be developed whereby the program can be operated by next fall on a limited basis. Mr. Wolff repotted that final approval by the State Fire marshal on the junior-senior high school building has been made. The bid of $4, 000 on the school bus garage at Nashville, submitted by the Bilt-Rite Company was rejected.

Seventh grade unbeaten Maple Valley's 7th grade played basketball with Middleville's 7th grade last Friday at the home gym and won 25 to 16. The game started slowly.

In the second half they settled down and played a better brand of balL Doug Jones led the scoring. The 8th grade lost to Middleville 38 to 46. They had lots of ball control and passing trouble. Rich Winegar and Gary Shipman led the scoring. The next game will be at Potterville February 5. Middleville wins, 75-50 Half-day school session on Monday On Monday, February 5, school will be dis­ missed at the Junior-Senior high school at 11:30 a. m and 11:45 a.m. at the elementary buildings. The original calendar listed February 5 as a county institute day with no school in session. To meet the state requirement of 180 days of student mem­ bership, the board of education and teachers have agreed to have school in session Monday morning. The teachers will hold in-service workshop meet­ ings in the afternoon. A new state ruling this year requires 180 days when students are scheduled to be in school attend­ ance. Previous to this year 180 days was required, but it was possible to count state Michigan Educa­ tion Conference days In the fall, county institute, and holidays such as Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, New Years, and Memorial Day if school were in session the day before or after such holiday.

"From now through spring, " said Dr. B. P. Brown, Director of the Depart­ ment, "is the period when most so-called "strep" infections occur.- Striking anyone regardless of age, they can be far more dangerous to health than many people might suspect. " A "strep* infection. Dr. Brown explained, gets its name from a scientific term for the bacteria which produce the infection, streptococcus. He stated that only certain types of these bacteria are harmful and that sore throat is the most common indication of infection by them. Usually entering the body through the mouth, these microscopic organisms can grow tepidly under favorable conditions found in the throat. Mild to seve£ sore throat, however, is not the only possible result of this infection. Dr. Brown em­ phasized. Streptococcal infections, especially in children, can spread to or begin in other parts of the body. Scarlet fever is a serious disease of childhood also caused by certain of these bacteria. Rheumatic fever, in which there may be damage to the bean, and a mild to severe type of kidney disorder are two complications which can arise from "strep” infec tion. Because the course of streptococcal infection can­ not be predicted, it is best to see a physician when­ ever sore throat appears, the doctor pointed out. The physician may take "swab* of the throat, a painless procedure that is done in order to identify the in­ fecting organism. For streptococcal infections, spe­ cific medicine which will destroy the bacteria can be prescribed. Through this early detection and e­ radication of "strep" bacteria are found in crowded confined areas. Hence, early detection of such in­ fections often a good preventive measure. In closing, Dr. Brown stated, "Even though strep­ tococcal infection may only produce minor sore throat pain, people should not overlook the fact that a major medical problem with serious consequences can spring from it. " He then issued this plea; "DurShi> *»uep’ Muuoa your he>lth department u ur~ you to seek qualified medical attention whenmembers of your family, particularly your chil­ dren, complain at sore throat.

Sage, 20, as the "Outstanding Citizen of the Year", and to Harry Leckrone, the "Outstanding Elk of the Year. " Miss Sage, a 1965 graduate of Hastings high school, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Keith Sage, 904 West Walnut St., Hastings. She joined the staff of WBCH radio station in Hastings in the fall of 1965, and through her affiliation is well known throughout the area as Cindy through her daily r e port of "Bulletin Board" and "hospital news" pro­ grams. Just a few short weeks before Christmas last year Cindy was named to a committee to work o n the Chamoer of Commerce Christmas parade. It proved most successful Last January during the big snowstorm she assisted for almost a full broadcast day in the nine-hour "talkathon" that was just about the only communications link for Barry county peo­ ple. Cindy was recently given special recognition by the Hastings Chamber of Commerce for her work in promoting the Christmas parade. Presenting her award from the Elks was Russell Nash, head of the Elks, and toastmaster for the evening. Tony Youngs, co-chairman of the MajorProjects committee of the Elks this year, presented the Elk of the Year award. Before the presentation Mr. Youngs told of the committees Mr. Leckrone had worked on, the hours spent on the clean-up-fix-up, paint-up crews, his ability to fill in as an Elk officer in the absence of the regular officer, and the con­ tribution he had made in assisting with the Major Project auction tried for the first time this past year. Mr. Leckrone, who resides on Pokey Drive, west of Nashville, operates an auto and body repair shop on Devine Road. Vermontville schedules changes for coming months A number of improvements for Vermontville are on the agenda for the coming months. Included will be the construction of a new fire barn, the purchase of a new 1. 500 gallon tanker for the fire department and tne revamping of the; present fire bam which is located in the lower section of the Opera House. These improvements are under the jurisdiction of Vermontville township which includes the village and surrounding area. The tire bam will be constructed on Main street across from the Opera House. Chris King, local ar­ chitect, will draw up plans, following a survey of the needs of the fire department. The building will probably be some 40 by 60 or 70 feet and will be of cement blocks or an insulated building material. The estimated cost is around $10, 000 and will be taken from the general fund of the township. This can be paid for without asking for any additional millage. After the new building is constructed the present area used for storage of the fire fighting equipment will be re-vamped for a township hall and for stor­ age or extended area for the adjoining Vermontville Public Library. ?.l*o included in the area used for a township hall will be space for elections. Hereto­ fore, voting has taken place upstairs in the Opera House, and climbing the stain to vote presents a problem to some of the older electors. The new $12,000 tanker for the fire department will be delivered about the last of March. The tank­ er is equipped with a front-mount pump, space for hose, two reels for smaller hose and other equip­ ment. In commenting on the new purchase Town­ ship Supervisor Gerald Siple said tne tanker will be paid for through a one-mill tax spread several yean ago over a 20-year period. Cynthia Sage and Harry Leckrone receive awards from Russell Nash, left, . and Tony Youngs, right. Cynthia was named Citizen of the Year, by the Has­ tings Elks. Harry was named Elk of the Year. - -Photo by Gladys Richardson. VFW Commander Dale Maurer and Auxiliary President, Alberta Lewis, hold the VFW March of Dimes card with more than $80 on it.

Beekman, will address the Eaton County Associa­ tion for Retarded Children at their regular meeting to be held at the AU Purpose room of the Potter­ ville Elementary School at 7:30 p. m. Thursday, February 15. Mr. Beekman has recently been honored by hav­ ing the new comprehensive facility for the retard­ ed, which is under construction in East Lansing, named for him. He will give details about the new Marvin Beekman Center and discuss new trends in special education. ‘ Mr. Beekman has served thirty seven years in the field of Special Education. He spent twenty of those years as a teacher of mentally handicapped children and seventeen years as Director of Special Education for the Lansing Schools. This distin­ guished past makes him weU qualified for his recent appointment as Director of the Division of Special Education of the Sure Department of Education of the State of Michigan. Eaton County residents interested in the welfare of handicapped children are urged to attend this meet­ ing where they can learn how Eaton County can ex­ tend and expand their facilities and services to the handicappea Bilt-Rite Corporation looking for new home Allen Brace, president of Bilt-Rite, is hoping to acquire property here for opening a plant. There wiU be need for office space, warehousing and manufac­ turing. The manufacturing at present will consist of doors, ventilators, air baffles, dropping boards and other wooden parts necessary to the erection of con­ trolled environment housing for livestock. Also there will be a division for the manufacture of wooden sod pegs, industrial spools and wooden frames for card­ board cartons. With an eye to the future the com­ pany would like to be free to expand to other prod­ ucts. The company had hoped to purchase the Maple Valley school bus garage. But delayed plan in erec­ ting a new garage has necessitated the rejection of the Bilt-Rite bid. Meanwhile Bilt-Rite is desperately looking for a home, and their immediate need is a place which can be used for storage. This would not necessarily need to be a big place, even a large gar­ age or bam would give temporary relief. But they've "gotta have a home, we've just gotta find a hornet” �BACKSTREET BAROMETER LIFE’S LIKE THAT DEPARTMENT. The way for a town to get a bit of publicity is for something bad to happen there. A while back we had some local publicity about a person on a party line who would not give up the phone long enough for an emergency fire call to go through. The house burned down before the fire de­ partment could save it. It happened that the phone was in the Nashville exchange so the story was re­ ported from here. A week or so ago Adolph Douse came in with a letter from a friend of his in Washington. D. C. The fellow in Washington had seen the story, with the Nashville date line, in the Washington Post. The other day we got a letter from Mis. Arthur Pennock in Florida. She sent us a clipping from the San Antonio, Texas paper with the article in it. It wouldn't shock me to get more reports from all over the country. I don't know whether the ground hog had anything to do with it, but the weather has been darn spring­ like these past couple of days. I am one of those people who looks for spring right after the first of February. I always feel that when the sun comes up a bit earlier in the morning, and when it is still light at 6 o'clock in the evening, we have passed the hump, so to speak. So far as I am concerned, spring is here. Last Sunday a bunch of kids got out on the ice in the field next to Bun Cuyler's nouse to skate. The recent rains formed a huge puddle, small lake, and the sudden colder snap froze it nicely. The kids got their skates on and really had a bait Some of the neighborhood dogs got out and romped a bit with them. Dogs and Kies spent a good deal of their time not on their feet. The spring-like thaw has created a bunch of chuck-holes in the roads. Jan your eye teeth when you hit one. __ ______ My friend, Cindy Sage was named Outstanding Citizen of the Year by the Hastings Elks. Harry Leck­ rone was named outstanding Elk of the Year. Both of these folks deserve the honors. They are both hard-working people. Harry has been the March of Dimes chairman for the area and has done a fine job. Letter To The Editor According to an article published in the Enquirer & News, Monday. January 29, the local taverns are to be required to remain closed on Sundays and to close at midnight every night. The Village Council is in error regarding the closing hours of area t a v eras. Obviously the council members haven't visited any of the area taverns lately or they would be a­ ware of the fact that they are all permined to stay open until 2:00 a. m.. Closing the local ban early will cause an influx of drinking driven from the area ban at 2:30 a. m. which will create a problem for our local law enforcement officers. If the local council wants to control the sale of alcoholic beverages on Sunday, why discriminate against the ban only. It seems to me that according to the above rules and regulations the Council will soon be dictating the hours of all the businesses in town. Also, I understand a good share of the liquor li­ cense fees and other taxes are returned to the local area. Our boys are fighting in Vietnam to defeat dictatorship. What have we in Nashville? Were the local tavern owners even consulted on the rescinding of What Was Considered a Mutual Agreement on Closing Hours? Bob Fueri, Jr. 313 Phillips St. Nashville, Mich.

Mrs. Justin Cool­ ey and Mrs. William Hynes planned and helped prepare the chicken dinner which was served by ladies who volunteered from the church. The pro­ gram that followed included group singing led by Ed Smith, and several musical numbers from an ensemble of youth who are band members. Stanley Graham was master of ceremonies. Adults came later to hear the featured speaker, who was Representative Dale Warner of the Michi­ gan House, one of the youngest elected officials of this state. He was introduced by Steve Douse of Nashville, who had accompanied him from Lansing where Steve is a student at Michigan State Univer­ sity. A young man himself, barely out of the category of the four million Michigan people who are under the age of 26, Mr. Warner was able to speak frank­ ly to youth and command an attention and respect perhaps not readily available to other speakers at such occasions. His subject was "A Christian in His Vocation." . suit or relationship in one’s vocation, that career must be a reflection of the total philosophy one holds toward life. As an example, he stated his own philosophy as being that verse of scripture which remarks, "Jesus grew and increased in wis­ dom and stature, and in favor with God and man. " As each aspect of this was explored, all areas of life in today's complex world were included. Em­ phasis was placed on growth and that premature marriages and dropping out of school often put a lock on growth. Wisdom comes not so much from academic learning but in learning to distinguish and define and in developing the ability to think for oneself, accepting mistakes and learning from them. Stature involves keeping the body fit through refraining from bad habits and exercising, if necessary. He cited Governor Romney's example in this. Favor with God and man evolves" from not ' ignoring the spiritual and in cultivating the role of "getting along with people. " Youth have their fer­ vor and brashness as an advantage in proclaiming whatever they espouse. Mr. Warner began bis interest in politics at the age of fifteen with house-to-house canvassing. He explained certain circumstances in which his con­ victions bear upon decisions in the legislature. Sev­ eral of his committees deal with liquor control, fair housing, and narcotics investigation. Junior play, ‘Going Places9 will feature two casts "Going Places" has been selected by the Junior class of the Maple Valley high school for presenta­ tion Thursday and Friday, March 14 and 15 in the school auditorium. Two casts, one appearing each night, will be used. They are to be directed by Mrs. Greta Finter. The play revolves around the Maxwell family and the time of year is vacation time. Each mem­ ber of the family is looking with anticipation to­ ward the coming two weeks. But each has his heart set on going to a different place, so Mother M a x well, after seeing others come back from their va­ cations completely exhausted, decided it will be best for them to spend this year's vacation at home. Then Father will be ready to return to work, the children will be rested for school, but things turn out far differently. With the arrival of the grand­ parents on both sides, the special business problems for Mr. Maxwell, everything becomes a mess. By the end of the two weeks the entire family is practi­ cally unconscious and Father is practically carried to work on a stretcher. The part of Mr. Maxwell will be played by Dale Fisher and Larry Swan; Mn. Maxwell, Janet Dennis and Jeana Shaw; Grandpa Maxwell, Stanley Graham and Steve Tefft; Grandma Maxwell, Marabeth VanRlarcom and Judy Rasey; Betty Lou Maxwell, Deb­ bie Durham and Karen Rose; Connie Maxwell, Pat­ sy Stanton and Jeri Hammond; Wilbur Maxwell, Dave Smith and Jim Sheldon; Hercules Nelson, Chris Boughton and Dan Rose; Mr. Brown, Owen Moore and Bob Misener; Mrs. Brown, Peggy Hummel and Barbara Frith; Bernadine Smith, Kathy Fox and Kar­ en Benedict; Mr. Hinckley, Larry Lingholm and Steve Joppie, and Aunt Mary, Marsha Ackett and Sue Norris. New officers elected At the meeting Tuesday night, officers were named for the Nashville Maple Syrup Association. The meeting was held at the Fuller Street school and approximately twelve persons attended. Harold Christiansen was named the president of the organi­ zation. Other officers include Fred Ackett, vice­ president; Frank Scramlin, secretary-treasurer and trustees, Earl Hose and Jim Rizor. Although no definite plans were made at this meeting other than the election of officers, some discussion was held in regard to the syrup-making activity. It was felt that there would be enough interest to begin the sap gathering and syrup making when the weather conditions warrant it. It was felt that the firemen and the boy scouts would gather the sap. As other plans are made, they will be announced. WE HAVE give tier a Sweetheart Cliest t>y Lane Pastor B. J. Varner.

These LorgeThorndike tests consist of two parts or batteries: verb I, with 5 divisions, and non-verbal, with 3 sections.

Your pancakes were delicious. ■ Had a letter from Carroll Spicer.He is in the Ar­ my and is located in the Far East. The following is an answer to the suggestion ot "Should the FBI train all policemen in tne US?" It was written by Bill Ray. FBI Threat By BILL RAY The idea of the FBI training all law enforcement officer* could threaten in the end, the security of this country. This step would put the Federal govern­ ment into a new area of involvement. Financial aid was the only major help that the Federal government had helped law enforcement officers up to this time. By past examples of history when the police are trained by the government then a police state ensue*. Hitler and Mussolini strengthened their hold over the people with police trained by the central government. This step would change even the basis of our Amer­ ican system of government. It would change from a Federal setup to that of a Unitary structure. Law en­ forcement is the last major power that local units of government have. Taking this power away from lo­ cal government would dangerously strengthen our central government. England has police trained by a centralized government and in police procedure Eng­ land lags behind the United State*. The public deserves the kind of police protection they receive. In our setup now the local citizen* fi­ nance the police department*. Any local unit of gov­ ernment can send policemen for further qualified training at police academies. What's stopping many communities from upgrading their police forect is the cost. If an area doesn't want to spend too much for police training then the community doesn't de­ serve law enforcement protection. President Johnson, in hi* State of the Union a d dress, stated that law enforcement belongs on the lo­ cal leveL Education and law enforcement must al­ ways remain in the hands of local people. Education ano the law* are the stronghold of Democracy. Any­ thing threatening to even put law enforcement train­ ing into a position where one man can control it is placing our whole system of government in danger. I like to stand on the status quo. Eighty percent of all reportable crimes are cleared by policx action. It is rather hard to see bow an eighty percent a r rest rate and ninety percent conviction rate can be interpreted by anyone as a collapse of law and order. There is no need for the FBI training of policemen as the hazards of the proposition are more dangerous than the likely advantages. The United States ha* some of the finest police in the world.

MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1968 �THE NASHVILLE NEWS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1968 in this issue: PAGES OF WINTERTIME FOODS BIG FARM OUT OF A LITTLE ONE GEORGE WASHINGTON: FARMER-INVENTOR GRASSROOTS GLEANINGS �Some consideration was given to purchasing another farm to solve the problem. But was that the best solution? Taxes were high and on the increase, insurance costs run high, initial investment was still another factor not to mention prob­ ably new and biggest equipment for covering more ground. Glenn doubted that another farm was the answer. He and his wife, Dorothy, had heard of a self-propelled irri­ gating system that would take care of 150 acres of any and every crop — automatically. This sounded more like the answer. The area has long required irrigation to get any sort of profit­ able production, but it took lots of costly labor to be continually running to the field to move the pipes to a new location. Glenn Frozene sat down and did some figuring. He concluded that if he went to narrower rows, planted his com heavier and fertilired stronger than recommendations, he could more than Photo #1 — Knee-deep in clover (this happens to be Alfalfa) Glenn Frozene is a proud and happy farmer since investing in the huge irrigation system seen in the background. The self­ propelled machine can add an inch of water evenly over 150 acres or more in )ust over 3 days of contin­ uous operation. double his yields — with irrigation. Today if you go to Glenn Frozene’s farm (and you’re always welcome), you'll most likely see his irrigation system stretching out for 13 hundred feet delivering 11 hundred gallons of water BIG FARM OUT OF A LITTLE ONE Photo t2—And, here’s an­ other source of "miracle production". In this cen­ tral Wisconsin area, there's almost never enough rain to bring the crops through profitably. Water makes the difference between about 75 and 150 bushels of shelled corn per acre. And, keep in mind, a good share of that extra produc­ tion is profit. by E. R. Minser Certain parts of agricultural America are right now enjoying production boons the likes of which fanners have never seen be­ fore. And, it’s happening on soils that don’t even measure up to high average on anybody’s measuring stick Com yields are being doubled or better. Alfalfa tonnages are being at least tripled. Vegetable crops are yielding better and of higher quality than ever before. The answer — WATER. There are areas in the northern extremes of the Combelt that are out-producing their fellow farmers in “perfect” com grow­ ing areas like Iowa, Illinois and Indiana. These Michigan, Wis­ consin and Minnesota producers have found the proverbial “equal­ izer” in plain old H2O. In order to find out just how much irrigation can mean to a farmer, we went up into the central Wisconsin community of Stevens Point. We visited at length with Glenn Frozene, a good Wisconsin dairyman who recently invested heavily in a self-pro­ pelled irrigation system. Glenn is one farmer who knows that each dollar invested in fertilizer will return him $4.00 or $5.00 — if he can get water to it In past years his only limiting element in the entire operation was water. 1967 was to be his year. Son Larry was 18. He wanted to farm. e IKS RURAL GRAVURE per minute to his field crops. An underground “river” gives him all the water he needs to keep the system going around the clock if he elects to keep it on. “The logic of going to self-propelled irrigation and doing a better job with what we have is paying off,” said the “System”atic farmer. . “It used to be that 75 bushel com was the absolute top yield around here. I have never in all my life seen such good com and so much of it as I have out there in the field right now. It ought to make better than 150 bushels per acre without any problems,” he continued. Frozene went on to say that com ensilage tonnage should about triple and, without a doubt, his all important hay tonnage will be three times as great “Usually spring rains bring on a good first cutting of alfalfa, but the second cutting, under dryland conditions, is usually ques­ tionable. Now, with irrigation, we should always get three cut­ tings and maybe four,” he said. “It’s absolutely fantastic. I can sow new alfalfa in the spring and get a couple of tons per acre that same year,” he volunteered with some enthusiasm. Glenn Frozene hosted the 1966 Wisconsin Farm Progress Show. About 100-thousand fanners came to “the show” and got a glimpse of his pushbutton feeding operation. His dairy operation permits a milking string of 30 cows. In addition, he feeds out some beef. Three large silos are kept fuller than they ever were before with vastly more haylage and silage being produced. A pushbutton system permits him to mix the ration he selects from his silos and a bulk feed tank Yes, Glenn Frozene, Grand Marsh, Wisconsin has found a way to make fanning easier and a lot more profitable. Even better than that, I’ve found a way to take the year to year weather variations out of the operation. I can now plant, fertilize and irrigate to get a maximum production every year,” he said. “I get far more mileage out of my land. This is a simple family farm — not a corporation. I sort of think this might be the move tliat can make the family farm stable and practical again.” Com population ranges from 20 to 28-thousand plants per acre in 30" rows. Since he can control virtually everything but the sunlight, Frozene is.experimenting with going the limit A buried electric cable takes the juice to the hard working pump that delivers water through the line of sprinklers that meaBures a quarter of a mile in length The system walks itself around the 160 acres of the farm with­ out any help whatsoever. It takes about three days to make the trip (one revolution) and deposits over 1 inch of water on the entire area. “Only bad thing —it brings the alfalfa along so fast that it seems like you’re making hay all the time. It’s so efficient it’ll work you to death keeping up with the crop,” he said. On unirrigated land, a 38-day recovery to the next cutting of hay is considered great. He has been getting deep lush growth in early bloom in 33 days. “I think it’s just this simple,” said the inspired Wisconsin farm­ er, “we made a substantial but sound investment in automatic irrigation and made A BIG FARM OUT OF A LITTLE ONE— without buying any more land.” �Because Amiben herbicide has all these qualities that soybean farmers want. Convenient to use. Liquid concentrate mixes instantly with water to form a true solution. Granules are clean, easy to handle. Controls both broadleaf weeds and grasses —many more species than any other soybean herbicide—(some 51 broadleaf weeds, and 25 grasses including seedling Johnson grass). ■ Weed control lasts all season long but there is no soil residue, or carryover, at harvest. (You can plant winter grains as soon as you take off your beans.) ■ Not harmful to soybeans, no adverse effect on soybean seed germi nation. ■ Economical — $3.34 per acre banded at the 2 lb. per gallon rate.

Serve it with a flair for Sunday; try Chicken Crunch for an easy meal during the week. What a nice company meal chicken can be! With the low prices of today you can buy just breast meat and try Chicken Cordon Bleu for a really new way of serving chicken. So if you're used to having chicken only on Sunday it’s time to change your habits. If a recipe calls for chicken stock or broth, you can dissolve a chicken bouillon cube or a tea­ spoon of chicken-flavored paste or crystals in % cup water. For a richer flavor anytime, add one or two bouillon cubes to a stewing chicken. This addition makes delicious gravy.

Seafood and fish, salads or desserts are but a few dishes which take on new interest and flavor appeal with the addition of a touch of lemon. An average lemon should produce approximately cup juice and IVz teaspoons grated rind. Lemon juice concentrates vary in strength, so check label for equiva­ lents. Use half as much dried lemon rind when substi­ tuting for fresh. A few drops of lemon extract can give you somewhat the same flavor as grated rind or peel. by Pam Howard '• �in the best stay-fresh wraps since nutshells!

The dried fruits of certain varieties of grapes containing 23 to 34 per cent of sugar are called raisins. This sweet mellow fruit is an excellent source of iron and because of its natural sugar content it is a quick energy food. Vine ripened grapes are sun dried on trays in the vineyard. This concentrates their natural fruit sugar to 70% and makes them dark and handsome. Others are dried indo under controlled conditions to produce golden raisins. by Betty Curren BEE HIVE RAISIN APPLESAUCE CAKE (15~ounce) use maple, rum, or brandy package dark extract) seedless raisins 4 cups sifted flout cup boiling 1 teaspoon salt water cup margarine 2 teaspoons soda teaspoon cup applesauce nutmeg 'ggh weU teaspoon beaten cinnamon cups sugar teaspoon teaspoon ground cloves vanilla (or may Grind raisins, using medium blade.

Nevertheless, his greatest love was centered around the farm of Mount Vernon, where, between con­ flicts and governmental dut­ ies, he exhibited another side of his nature by inventing and developing several pieces of farm machinery. Washington’s first venture into the world of invention began in March of 1760. At this time, unsatisfied with the types of plows currently in use, he undertook the task of making a better plow. Not surprisingly, his attempt was successful. Craftsmen were as plenti­ ful as farmed acres at Mount Vernon, consequently, when Washington began his efforts to improve the plow, he found all the required help needed. Beginning his first venture in inventing, he called upon his blacksmith. Together, like two men with a purpose, they traveled to a neighboring field. There, with the smith’s help and Washington’s think­ ing, they put together parts of a “two-eyed” plow with other parts of a “duck-bill” plow. Not being a man to delay anything, Washington put the new type of plow to the test immediately. For two hours, he watched intently as the plow was employed, mak­ ing minor adjustments as it turned the soil with a new ef­ ficiency. Later that night, according to the practice of the period, he entered the following statement into his journal: “Spent the greater part of the day making a new plow of my own invention, and found that it answered my purpose very well.” Although his first plow was successful, Washington’s most important invention, and certainly the one in which he took the greatest pride, was a type of “drill”, which he called a “barrel plow”. At the time, at Mount Vernon and elsewhere, all seeds that were sown were scattered by hand, and then covered over with a hoe or with a harrow. This tedious and time-wasting process prompted Washington to im­ prove the old method of sow­ ing. ■ Basically, Washington’s “barrel plow” consisted of a wooden barrel mounted upon a wheeled plow. When the plow moved, the barrel turned. Holes were cut into the barrel and tubes placed into the holes. When in oper­ ation, the “barrel plow” de­ posited the seed into the ground, and a drag, placed behind the drill, covered the seed as the plow moved along. Writing of his “barrel plow”, Washington explained to a friend “that it would not work to good effect in land that is full of stumps, stones, or large clods; but, where the ground is tolerably free from these and in good tilth, I am certain you will find it equal to your most sanguine expec­ tations, for Indian corn, wheat, barley, pease, or any other tolerably round grain, that you may wish to sow or plant in this manner. by John C. Vitale Understandably, Washing­ ton made use of his new drill type of “barrel plow” whereever possible. Besides sowing seed of many varieties, he even tried planting turnips with it. In the summer of 1786, in fact, he wrote proudly in his diary of sowing turnips with his plow. “Having fixed a roll­ er to the tail of my drill plow," he wrote with pride, "and a brush between it and the barrel, I sent it to Muddy Hole and sowed turnips in the intervals of corn”. Washington’s thinking, and his pronounced talent for creative invention, soon led him into the direction of architecture. In fact, he planned and drew up specifi­ cations for all the bams and other farm buildings which were erected on his vast estate. One of his most outstand­ ing accomplishments as an inventive architect was his 16-sided barn. This many­ sided brick structure was once described by one of his neighbors as “the best and most conveniently arranged bam on this side of the At­ lantic". Included in the novel bam was a specially designed threshing floor, containing cracks through which the grain, when trodden out, dropped to a second and per­ fectly clean surface. Immedi­ ately the 16-sided barn be­ came the talk of the coun­ try, adding new luster to the already glowing fame of George Washington. Threshing machines be­ came Washington’s next great passion as a farm ma­ chinery inventor. In 1797, he employed William Booker, the American inventor who had introduced the threshing machine, to come to Mount' Vernon and to set up the ma­ chine. But only disappoint­ ment followed. The thresher, at the beginning, threshed only some 40 bushels a day. Later its output dropped to 25, and it broke down com­ pletely before it had threshed a total of 500 bushels. The following April, Wash­ ington wrote to Booker and stated that the thresher “has by no means answered your expectations or mine". < Although the Booker thresher had failed to come up to Washington’s expecta­ tions, he did not give up the hope of developing a machine on his own. Corresponding at great length with both Eng­ lish and French agricultur­ alists, he soon devised a new type of thresher, based on the best points of the Booker ma­ chine and the latest European models. This thresher, al­ though not totally perfect, served the needs of Mount Vernon for many seasons. > As a farmer and inventor, Washington’s achievements cannot be measured with any degree of certainty, since, as it were, his time was called upon by his country so fre­ quently. However, despite this fact, he did leave his mark, demonstrating to the world and future generations his ability as an inventor. A patnfmg by Thomas P.

Daily Republican. The O’Brien County Bell of Primghar, Iowa, says that it can remember way back when: — a baby’s sitter was its mother — drip dry was what we did after swimming — headshrinkers lived in the jungle — a pusher was the guy behind you — and a junkie bought scrap iron. Misery, according to a young writer in the Mercer County Chronicle of Coldwater, Ohio, is when it starts to snow in the middle of the day and your mother brings your galoshes to school. The West Bend (Wis.) News quotes the stenographer who says to the new employee: “They not only give you a pension in this office, but you age here more quickly.” “Money may not buy happiness,” says the Adair County Free Press of Greenfield, Iowa, “but it sure lets you look for it in a lot more places.” i According to The Clear Lake (Iowa) Mirror-Report­ er, “Forty is a good age.

The Sunday closing decision came at the previous regular meeting of the council. By that ruling, which was to go into effect on March 1st, the tav­ erns would be required to close at midnight rather than at 2 a. m. as was the custom. This In addition to the Sunday closing. iat they The owners of the taverns both stated that had no objections to the midnight closing time, but di both said that Sunday is a particularly good day for business. For a number of years the taverns have alterna­ ted their Sunday opening. Each tavern was permit­ ted to be open on alternate Sundays. Both Mrs. Best and Mrs. Wixson pointed out that they serve lunches and coffee as well as other bev­ erages and that much of their Sunday business is in this type of service to the public. The council agreed to take the request of the tav­ ern owners under advisement. In other business the council decided to increase the annual salary of the Village Clerk to $4. 000.00. This is to compensate for the increase of duties of and the war required to do only part-time duties.

The report listed a to­ tal of 121 complaints handled in the past month. Langham also explained the use of chemical mace to subdue difficult arrest cases. He is now equipped with mace and is trained in the use of the irritant. The mace, when sprayed on the face, irritates the eyes and nose and renders a person incapacitated for long enough to get handcuffs on him. "It takes all the fight out of a man, " Langham said. * The council also approved the purchase of a new police car, delivery to be in four to six weeks. It was agreed to request Consumers Power Company to check the lighting on Sherman Street and other streets in Nashville and to make recommendations as to where additional light is needed.

Last week I listed two people from remote places in the United States who saw that story about the telephone line being held up while a house burned here in our neighborhood. One of these came from Washington, D. C. and the other from somewhere in Texas. Now the other day Mrs. DeMond saw Amy on the street and she gave her a clipping from the Pacific Stars and Stripes of January 17, 1968. She said her son cut it out of the paper and sent it to her. So our fame has gone overseas. Why can't we get some publicity for doing some­ thing good? Our neighbor, just across the street. Delores, Knoll, got herself right in the middle of the capture of a couple of bank robbers before she knew what was going on. ' Delores said she saw a police car waiting at the side of the road and thought it was waiting to jump on speeders. Just after she passed the police car she turned into a driveway (of the Allis Chalmers Agen­ cy) and right behind her a car followed. She was so intent on where she was going that she didn't even notice the car behind her. As she got out of her car she heard a voice say, "Put your nands up and don't turn around." Delores said she just had to turn around, to see if they were talking to her, and there she saw a policeman with a snot gun, which she thought he was aiming at bet. Actually the policeman was aiming the gun at the occupants of the other car. The police pulled the men from the car and right after that they pull­ ed the $10,000 in loot which they had taken from a bank in Lansing. Took Delores me rest of the day to get over it.

This is the time of year when we get the phone calls from people who have seen the first ronin of spring, or pre-spring. I have a suspicion that those early robins didn't go south at all, They are just like the people who stand in line for the tickets to the world series-they were there all the time. I think those birds just hang around all winter so that they can be the first here in the spring. It is kind of a hollow honor, though. I'd a lot rather go south and be known as the bird-brain who didn't return north till far into the bikini season. Hi(|h Speed Dryer A friend of mine was telling me of a fellow be knows, who has developed a very involved scien­ tific theory about woodpeckers. This guy sayr* woodpeckers don't live as long as other birds and he also says they wind up to be psychopathic be­ fore they zonk off. This man says the reason for this is that they scramble their brains hammering on the trees the way they do. I watched a little fellow the other day on our pine tree and as he batted his little head back and forth I couldn't help but think that guy was right. Locals MANY OTHER BOOKS ON NATURE, HUMAN IN­ TEREST, FICTION, SCIENCE AND CRAFTS. On Monday, Feb. 5th Maple Valley Junior High played basketball at Potterville. Potterville's very small gym frustrated and bottled up the 7th grade and they lost 31-25. Linden Aspinall was high point man. ” The 8th grade looked the best they have looked all year and won 41-32. They shared complete bal­ ance scoring. / On Friday, Caledonia played in the Maple V a 1 ley gym. The 7th grade had real good ball control, good teamwork, aggressive play and won 44-34. This gives them a 6-1 record. The 8th grade also had real good ball control, good team work, aggressive play and won 31-29. This gives them a 4-3 recortl The last game is at Wayland February 16th. The Junior High tournament will be at Middleville Feb­ ruary 26-29. Don Langham, our local law officer, showed me the can of chemical mace he has on his belt. Don tells me that he took a special course of training in the use of the mace and part of the course was to submit to being squirted with the stuff. Don says there is no way to tell of the discomfort one has when he has been hit with the stuff. He said one's eyes and nose smart so that he can’t see and that he wants to do nothing more than just to lie down and cover his face. I asked Don if he had used the mace yet and he said he only had to aim it at one man who was be­ ing difficult. The man had no doubt read about the mace and he became very easy to get along with. He said it takes the fight right out of a man. The use of such a new development as this can have great impact. This should make the job of the officer much easier in the case of someone who wants to put up a fight. No police officer wants to pull a gun on anyone. There is always a danger that an innocent bystander will get hurt when there is shooting. Aside from this, probably no police­ man wants to be in the position of having to use a gun on anyone. This mace makes it less necessary to use a gun. _____ Balance left to do the work Bums and others who never work Nashville News In Charlo u.

Free Clinics available in Eaton County The Health Department wishes to remind the pub­ lic that free immunization clinics for the children are held in its office in Charlotte the first Wednes­ day morning of each month. Available at these clinics are all the required routine immunizations including measles vaccine, and tuberculin tests. Due to a shortage of nursing personnel, it will be impossible to set up clinics around the county this spring for the pre-schoolers, so we urge those who wish the department to do these, to plan to attend one of the monthly clinics. Parents are urged to have this done early, as sev­ eral of the "shots" cannot be given at the same time, so it takes 2 or 3 months to complete the series. AMERICAN STANDARD CHARLOTTE Appliance Co.

PE—1741—JU THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1968 �School officials attoat Atlantic City conference BIG SCARE Dairy farmers are very uneasy these days. So is the whole dairy industry, which represents the larg­ est segment of Michigan's agriculture. Everyone is wailing for imitation milk to hit the Michigan market. The question is not if, but when. . In brief, this is the situation: Several forms of "imitation" milks are in produc­ tion in other parts of the country and are being rap­ idly accepted by consumers. They taste good; are just as nutritious as milk. They are cheaper, ranging from 100 to 200 per half gallon which leaves acceptable profit for the grocer. In Chicago a good tasting milk is available, perhaps as a special, tor 90 a quart. It is reported that all major dairy processors a 1 ready have on hand printed cartons to supply imita­ tion milk. Each seems anxious not to start, but each seems just as anxious to protect himself if some other company introduces the new product. Two imitations use limited milk products; the third is made entirely of soybeans. The farmer is worried he will suddenly be produc­ ing milk which he cannot sell profitably. Those who work with dairy farmers take varying positions. Glynn McBride, MSU Ag economist, says that the university is aware of the problem and is anxious to supply facts which will help farmers, producers, re­ tailers and consumers reach the wisest decision in the situation. The Michigan Department of Agriculture is also alert to the problem and is willing to help everyone by supplying information. Neither institution takes a stand mat imitation milk is a good or bad thing for the consumer. Farm groups are cautious. They remember the sad lesson they learned in their fight to outlaw the use of colored margarine. They understand they cannot keep a substitute milk off the market simply to protect their own interests. Leaders agree that laws can no longer force con­ sumers to buy products in forms farmers want to sell, and that farmers must find ways to market milk in forms the consumer needs and wants. Jack Barnes, general manager of Michigan Milk Producers, says that MMPA does view imitation milk as a serious threat, but is not pushing a panic button. It views the change as a challange to find new uses for milk and milk products. Dan Reed, secretary-manager of the Michigan Farm Bureau, says that this group will not seek to outlaw any healthful, nutritious product, even though it threatens the farmer's market. Instead, it will work with farmers to help them make this chal­ lenge into an opportunity for new uses for milk. Positive direction is taken by the American Dairy Association of Michigan. ADA is seeking a farmer vote which will make mandatory a 40 per hundred­ weight charge to the farmer. This would be a change from the present 20 which is voluntary. Funds will be used for research to help develop new prod­ ucts which use milk and to promote the use of these products by consumers. The campaign itself is a gigantic undertaking. ADA shows farmers a film to dramatize the need for their support. Unfortunately, it paints such a gloomy picture that some farmers are reported to just give up and sell their herds. There is also the question of legality. Authori­ ties do not want to say that such a proposal, even if endorsed by a high percentage of farmers, could be enforced if a dairyman refused to pay his 4<5k ADA holds out hope. Boyd Rice, manager of the ADA of Michigan, takes the strong position that re­ search can develop enough new products to utilize all the milk which can be produced. The effort will also require changes in laws, some of which were supported by dairy people in their own inter­ ests but which now art to their detriment. And it is vitally important too, thinks Rice, to advertise and promote the new products he hopes can be de­ veloped. As examples he points to the rapidly increasing consumption of yogurt in California and New York, stating that when a tasty product is called to pub­ lic attention, a market can be developed. He also points to a 40^ butterfat--margarine product which is marketed experimently. It can be sold below the present price of more expensive margarine and cuts into those sales. It does not af­ fect regular butter sales. There are other ideas which merit research. "If farmers don't tell people about milk and dairy products," Rice warns, "no one else wilL ' Ample reason for farmer uneasiness seems justi­ fied. He is faced with a very real threat to his livelihood. Imitation milk, be it based on soy­ bean. sodium caseinate or a "filled-milk” formu­ la, is almost certain to raise hob with his present market. While the problem offers a challenge to bigger things, these are potentials rather than realities. The farmer is worried about what will happen to him while the changes take place. He is worried that be or some of bis friends will suffer in the meantime. Add to this the thought that he must double the dollars he pays to promote dairy products, and one can easily sympathize with his position. No one, however, can evade the conclusion that big changes ate coming fast in dairy marketing and no matter who gets hurt, the consumer is king. And it is the consumer who will probably benefit the most. NEW PROBLEM Snowmobiling, Michigan's newest winter sport, has growth pains similar to those suffered by the boating industry a few years ago. The burgeoning business has reached $150 million in national sales and Michigan will have nearly 75,000 units skim-, ming across the snow by the end of this winter. The exploding industry has also brought public concern over lack of regulations governing use o f the snow machines. Michigan State Police indicate they were flooded with complaints last year, the first season of popular snowmobiling in the southern part of the state. Lieutenant Bryce Grey said the complaints included driving on public highways; racing across pine plantations, breaking off tops of seedling pines which kills young trees; breaking fen­ ces to travel cross-country. Two other problems are recognized: the noise of the vehicle and its ability to reach isolated cottages, making them easy prey for burglary. Little has been done to regulate snowmobiling, although some state agencies recognize the growing problems and the need for control, A Department of Conservation spokesman pointed out that discus­ sions of the situation have resulted in few programs. The department wants to maximize the enjoyment of the sport but minimize public damage ana in­ convenience. It developed 18 snowmobile trails in the northern part of the state and is in the process of laying out trails in southern Michigan. Tne US Forest Service also has developed trails on Federal lands. Only two conservation laws currently apply to the sport. One prohibits hunting from the vehicles. The second limits vehicle travel in certain northern state areas. Lack of law limits police enforcement. State troopers have been instructed to ticket any snow­ mobile operating on a public highway for not hav­ ing license plates. If the vehicle owner figures some way to register his snowmobile and affixes plates, he will be ticketed for insufficient equipment: brakes, taillights, stop lights, etc. The Secretary of State also feels snowmobiles should be kept off public roads. James Palmer, leg­ islative agent for the office, says snowmobiles can­ not be licensed under present laws because they do not meet requirements of the safety vehicle code. Legislation which may be proposed should consider registration of the vehicles, minimum equipment standards, and mandatory safety inspection prior to use, Palmer suggests. Two bills currently under legislative considers tion provide for registering and defining snowmo­ biles but do not include operating restrictions. Recognizing the need for public control, the Michigan Snowmobile Association suggested legis­ lation and recently met with legislators and state agency personneL The association proposes that snowmobiles be prohibited from all public high­ ways; that a minimum operator's age be set; that the vehicles be registered with the state and carry visable registration numbers, and that other restric­ tions which normally apply to moving vehicles be considered. Marshall Sayles, publisher of the Michigan Snowmobiler, maintains that most snowmobile operators are responsible citizens, "usually family men. "He supports this contention by pointing to tne large in­ vestment required to purchase a snow machine and popular use of the vehicle for family sport. Sayles feels that violations do exist and that reg­ ulation is necessary if the sport is to continue i n popularity and gain public support. The future ofsnowmobiling may rest with con­ tinued development of public trails and growth of private snowmobile' resorts. Some of Michigan's summer "dude ranches" have already made plans to remain open as snowmobile lodges. These will operate similar to ski resorts, offering guests board, lodging, racing tracks and wilderness trails. Such attractions can do much to get snow­ mobiles out of populated areas, away from pine plantations and other restricted public lands.

Diane was an exchange student for the sum­ mer months through the "Youth for Understanding" program. Young men of Nashville and Vermontville voted last evening to organize a Jaycee chapter here. At a special meeting in the Youth Building, at­ tended by over 20 men, it was decided to complete organization plans for the new group immediately and start arrangements for affiliation with the state and the United States Jaycees.

Fem Mix 38c Grand Ledge Jaycees’ president, Don Cooley, con­ cluded the meeting with an outline of activities conducted by his chapter during the past year. Cool­ ey mentioned that his chapter completed over forty major projects; most of which were in the field of Youth Welfare and Community Development Telephone recorder used as job recru iting device The State Civil Service department is utilizing a telephone recorder for a unique new recruiting device dubbed the civil service "job hotline. " The "hotline" or "dial-a-job" number in Lansing (area code 517, 373 3051) will deliver a one and a half minute resume of jobs where state agencies re­ port current vacancies. The caller will then be giv­ en a chance to state his name and address to. re­ ceive applications for examinations in which he states an interest by return mail The "hotline” number will also be publicized in the department's help wanted advertising. State Personnel Director Franklin K. DeWald said the use of the telephone recording device was a­ dopted as an experiment as a result of a suggestion submitted by an employee in the State'e Suggestion Award Program. "We're not sure how successful this new service will be for the public or our recruiting program, but we felt it was worth a try, " he said. "For one thing, it's available on a day or night basis and can be consulted outside our regular working hours." Jobs listed on the first "hotline" recording this week included four positions in the Department of State Highways--Manual Worker, Highway Labor­ er, Student Highway Technician, and Aggregate Inspector; and positions in various state hospitals and institutions such as Housemother, Boys' Super­ visor, Attendant Nurse, Institution Worker, Prison Guard, and Practical Nurse. Others include State Police Trooper, Typist, and Stenographer.

The prices for grain are: com, $1. 50; wheat, $2. 00; soybeans, $3. 00. Other grains comparable. In meats, the prices are $22. 75 for bogs and $32. 50 for top cattle.

Free Clinics available The Barry county Health Department bolds a free immunization clinic for children in its offices in Pennock Hospital the first Monday each Month from 9-11 A. M. AU the required immunizations are available in­ cluding measles vaccine, and tuberculin skin tests are also available for the school caterers. If you wish the health department to Immunize your children before they start school, now is the time to start as several of these cannot be given at the same time, and the entire process takes up 3 months. The Health Department wishes to remind the pub­ lic that free immunization clinics for the children are held in its office in Charlotte the first Wednes­ day morning of each month. Available at these duties are all the required routine immunizations including measles vaccine, and tuberculin tests. Due to a shortage of nursing personnel, it will be impossible to set up clinics around the county this spring for the pre-schoolers, so we urge those who wish the department to do these, to plan to attend one of the monthly clinics. Parents are urged to have this done early, as sev­ eral of the "shots" cannot be given at the same time, so it takes 2 or 3 months to complete the series. Stanley H. Woods, of Deerfield, winner of MSU’s 1968 Award for Distinguished Service to Agriculture, was reelected president and several new directors were elected at Michigan Crop Improvement Association’s annual meeting at Gaylord, January 24-25th. The association is an official State Department of Agriculture certifying arid inspection agency for new and improved varieties of seed grown by many farmers in Michigan. Certified, improved varieties of seed grown by farmer members of the association are free from disease, have better winter hardiness, rapid recovery and greater yeilding capacity, according to Richard Chase and William Hall, MSU crop scientists. The association keeps the record of origin of the improved varieties on file and inspects each field prior to harvest. Many of the varieties in both the PotatoDivision and the Field Crop Division including beans, wheat, barley, oats and forages were developed at Michigan State University's Experiment Station. Directors elected or reelected for 1968 include: Seated (L to R): John Urka, Brethren; Steve Dobleski, Elmira (vice-pres., chairman of Potato Seed Division); Stanley Woods , Deerfield (pres., M.C.I.A.); Paul Leipprandt, Pigeon (vice-pres., chairman of Field Seeds Division); and Harold Williams, Rockford.

Breakings and enterings reported over weekend Nashville suffered from a rash of breaking and enterings over the past week-end. Sometime Friday night thieves broke into the Maple Valley High School building and did con­ siderable in the way of damage but got little in the way of loot. Entrance was gained by going over the roof of the building and dropping down into the court yard. An attempt was made to open the wall safe in the office of the schooL The dial of the combin­ ation lock was broken from the door and part of the wall in back of the safe was knocked out. Tools were taken from the school shop and were used to attempt the safe breaking but they were not removed from the schooL Secretary's desks were broken open and about $12 was taken from one. Apparently tired and hungry from their efforts to open the safe, the thieves took some cookies from the kitchen. A couple of windows and a clock were broken. The breaking was discovered by custodian Wayne Skedgetl when he checked in for work on Saturday morning. Maple Valley wins in overtime play Maple Valley won the game Friday night scoring 4 points in overtime to defeat Wayland, 58-56 in basketball It was the first league win for Maple Valley in six starts. Jun Gould sank the winning basket after being out of action for 4 weeks with a knee injury. Dave Smith led the .team by scoring 19 points. John Simon, proprieter of the Douse Drug Store, discovered his store had been broken into Sunday morning when he opened up for a few minutes to fill a prescription. Simon said the store was cold and he noticed the back door was open. Upon investigation he discovered the storm door had been broken and the back door of the store had been forced open. Missing is several dollars worth of drugs and some watches. Chamber members hear talk on Viet Nam Members of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce heard a talk by Jim Casey and his wife Betty, at their lasvregular meeting of the Chamber Last Wednesday evening. The Caseys, both teachers at the W. K. Kellogg School in Hickory Comen, spent a year in Viet Nam where they were teach­ ing missioneries. Mr. Casey had many interesting comments to make on the war in that country and our part in it. Casey said he believes we are fighting the communist there to keep them from fighting us here in our own country. . While in Viet Nam the Casey's adopted a little Vietnamese girl who had been orphaned by the war. Representatives from Michigan Bell Telephone Company attended the meeting and reported that they thought a new building to nouse the Vermontville and Nashville exchanges should be in operation In about a year. The mentoetship committee reported 43 memben of the Chamber at present. Harold Christtiansen asked that all members try to get new members fat the organization. �BACKSTREET BAROMETER Isabel and Bob Pfaff took off fot Florida on Thursday of last week. Jo and Hank Woudstra took off early Sunday morning for the same desti­ nation. This leaves Amy and me, the only regu­ lar members of the news staff on duty. Cheri Decker has agreed to come in and help out for the next couple of Weeks. It is real good to have her back. In the meantime Amy has come down with something and has been under the weather. Maybe we should move the entire operation to Florida. Sounds like a good idea. We have a copy of THE MODERN BOWLER, a publication dedicated to news about bowlers and nowling, and it has a nice picture of Louise Bahs who won $1, 000 in a ladies’ bowling meet. She led a field of 610 contestants for the honor, ac­ cording to the bowling paper. So, you see, sometimes even the good news filters out of our neighborhood and makes the big time. The paper came from Albert L. Herrick in De­ troit. Today a salesman came in looking for someone named Smith who is supposed to be working here at the News office. We explained to this sales­ man that no Smith had ever worked here so far as we knew, and certainly not within the last few years. This guy looked real puzzled and said he had recieved a note from someone named Smith at the Nashville News, asking him to drop in because he was real interested in buying a new press. The guy took the note out of his pocket and showed it to me and sure enough, it was on note paper saying the Nashville News and it was signed by a man named Smith. It was the News from Nashville, Illinois, though. Hope be gets his new press. This week of February 17-24, is National FFA Week and in recognition of this the local Future Farmers will attempt to focus attention on the importance of agriculture. Right at this time we are particularily interes­ ted m such activities. Despite the fact that we have increased our productivity in the field of agriculture greatly in the last few years, the pop­ ulation explosion and the need for food has gone far faster than the expansion of agriculture. If we can believe what is being said now by the experts, we are in for a famine in the very near future if something is not done immediately to produce even more and to do it faster. The world right now is not able to produce as much food as is being eaten. Part of the reason for the Chinese being willing to make a stand of sorts in Viet Nam is for the capacity of that part of the world to produce food. This ricebowl could be of great importance in the very near future as a food producing area. Even in the Amazon Valley, with its vast expanse of unused and even unexplored land, there is talk of the problems the area will en­ counter within the next few years when the pop­ ulation of the area becomes too great for its capacity to produce food. Yet right now the Amazon Valley has enough timber standing in its lush green jungles to make a three room bouse for every family in the world and then have wood left over. It is said, right now, that the land in the Amazon Valley could produce enough food to feed the entire world. That is today. Right now the experts fear that within twenty to thirty years the vast lush sure of Amazonia will be so crowded that it will not be able to produce enough to feed in own people let alone the rest of the world. In view of these facts we am see how really important agriculture is today and how much more important ft will be in the future. Right now, it is said the U. S. food surpluses have melted away. Farming is becoming more and more important to the whole well being of our nation and the world.

In addition to being shorthanded here at the office, and having one of the staff not feeling right up to snuff we have had a number of items that came in rather late. We did the best we could, honest we did. tetter To The Editor Dear Editor; There is an issue of major importance before the American Farmers at this time. A challenge whether we are mice or men. If the medium sized Farm (The Family Farm) is to survive we must stand up and be counted. The National Farmers Organization (N. F. O. ) has a program, the only one of its kind to help the farmer. We have dumped our milk, sold cows and now the grain and meat holding action. Now Mr. Farmer, these actions are designed fot you. They are honest, just and reasonable. But you and your production are needed, leu face it all Farmers are needed if we are ever to get a reasonable income and maintain the necessary incentative to keep at least pan. of our boys on the farm. Don’t wait to be contacted-call a member-any member will beat a path to your door. Join up now and hold your production, be one of us. Thank you very much ' Albert M.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1968 'Phona 543-3750 �Elementary games played CAN LAWS HELP? Can riots be controlled? If new riot-control laws could do it, Michigan could be free from uprisings. The truth of the matter: laws can be passed more easily than they can be implemented and enforced. Twenty-seven bills have already been introduced in the current legislative session to deal with riot­ ers. These proposals would; Make it a felony to interfere with a fireman in performance of duties. Consider a person killed by a mob the same as one who was lynched, holding people in the mob equally guilty of first degree murder. Classify as a felony any attempt to obstruct or resist police, abuse or molest militiamen in riot area. Carry penalties for failure to disperse from a mob when ordered or to refuse to help in suppress­ ing a riot. Make participation in a riot punishable by a minimum five-year sentence. Prescribe conditions under which police may stop, question and detain for two hours. Stiffen penalties for attempting to escape while under arrest. Describe circumstances under which "suspicious" persons can be searched. Broaden sections of law dealing with explosives. Increase penalties for attempted murder, assault, entering without breaking, malicious burning, in­ tent to maim or disfigure, rob and steal while un­ armed. Many crimes, formerly considered "misdemean­ ors, " are classified as felonies under the proposals. Conviction of a felony carries a sentence of more than a year. If voted into law, these proposals must be im­ plemented and enforced. This may prove difficult. There simply are not enough police, courts and jails to quell rioting through legislation alone. If ‘ the people of our state do not support law and or­ der because they believe it is the right thing, leg­ islative action has little value. DANGEROUS EFFECT An increase in hit and run accidents may result from the new implied consent law which requires driven to submit to a chemical test for alcohol level or lose their licenses. This is the worry of traffic safety officials. Detroit police report a higher-than-average number of such accidents in the last two months of 1967. A study of records for the whole state is underway. The situation becomes more difficult when you realize that conviction for hit and run in minor accidents often carries less penalty than drunken driving. The test seems to work. In the first two months after it became law, it was given to 1,384 driven. We do our best to serve you in the finest manner. VOGT FUNERAL HOMES Nathville CALL OL3-2612 or CL9-8966 Vermontville Give ut a call — ARMSTRONG'S LINOLEUM SHERWIN-WILLIAMS • BROADLOOM CARPET • CERAMIC TILE • JEWEL COLORIZER PAINTS Of these, 996 showed blood alcohol levels above the J5% allowed under law. Five were unable to take the test because of physical conditions, one was found to be under the influence of barbituates, and 149 refused to take the test at alL Serious problems exist in dealing with those who appeal conviction of drunken driving. Secretary of State James M. Hare, whose office is charged with handling these convictions, asked for $60,000 to finance the operation. The legislature did not appropriate the sum, apparently concluding the office should use previously appropriated funds. Hare considers his staff is handling an " Impos- sible situation "in dealing with these cases. A backlog of 160 cases has already built up because of a shortage of help and equipment. The problem is more severe because of a ruling by Attorney General Frank Kelley that the procedure must be the same as in a court and the same, complete records must be kept.

Approved Singer Dealer Sales & Service At the beginning of the second semester each of the World History classes at Maple Valley High School were divided into different committees. The committees are the room, publicity, curri­ culum and current event committees. Their duties are as follows: room committee takes roll, helps keep discipline, and keeps the ' room heat; the publicity committees job is to write up what the class does ouring the week and submit it to the Valley Visions and the Nashville News; the bulletin board committee has the job of keep­ ing the room decorated; the curriculum committee has the duty of finding information about the period in history the class is studing at the time in addition to what's in their books, and the current event committee makes sure everybodv elves his or hers current event when it's due and to keep the class informed on important world happenings. Each history class has picked periods in history to expand their studies on. First hour has chosen World War II; fifth hour has chosen World War I; and sixth hour has chosen the Russian Revolution and the use of the Germanic States. Each person in each class has chosen an individual subject to write upon that has to do with their classes main subject. For each person's six weeks report he or she has chosen a book to read that has to do with some time in history. Reports will be given on these books. The curriculum committee has been working with the Nashville, Vermontville and school libra­ ries to gain more information on the areas the classes are studing.

Dr. Paul Chien has consented to do a column for us every-now-and-again, and this week is just by way of an introduction to Paul. Dr. Chien is in close contact with things in the Orient and has an insight not only in international affairs but is a student of the American scene. I'ni sure his comments will be of interest to every­ one. Just by way of explanation--Should anyone see me jogging down the street at night or early in the morning, don't think I am running from the gang with the tar and feathers. Fact of the case is, I am on an exercise kick and am doing a bit of jogging each day. On second thought, don’t look for me early in the morning, I just don't make a habit of turning out too early. We have a letter from Ken Beardslee, of the Pittsburgh Pirates baseball club. The letter appears in this issue of the News. ken is inviting boys to enroll in a baseball camp to be beta on the campus of Northwood Ins­ titute. The Northwood campus is one of the most beautiful I have seen and it would be particularly nice to be there in the summer. For those who want more information, Ken has sent a number of brochures which we have here at the News office. They are free for the asking. One nice thing about the people who go to Florida and leave the rest of us up here to fight the weather and Voloome the robins, is that they do send letters and post cards occasionally to let us know how nice things are in the sunny south. We have had cards from the Pfaffs and from the Woudstras. They say things are just fine down there and that the golf is wonderfuL Each year Frank Kellogg sends us a Gasparilia and Florida State edition of the Tampa Tribune. It came the other day and I am still going through it. It takes me a while to get all the way through the paper. I take some time drool­ ing over that lush Florida life. Anyway, we would like to thank Frank Kellogg and all of our other friends who are in Florida for the winter. Keep those cards and letters coming. They tend to make us forget the icy . cold of the tundra. The weather is still a bit on the coldish side but spring is just four weeks away. The sun is out earlier in the morning and it sets just a bit later in the evening. The buckets are nung on the trees. The people down at the sugar shack are getting things ready for the run. If winds of winter blow, can spring be far behind: We hope not. There is much talk lately about the new "arti­ ficial milk" which is being marketed in some parts of our country and seems to be catching on. I hope the farmers and the dairy industry have learned from past experience that they cannot hope to long legislate this product out of existence The horse and buggy industry was instrumental in having laws passed restraining the iron horse, and then the automobile. They did not keep either form of transportation from developing, but they tried. The gas industry tried to legislate against the early electric power companies because they rep­ resented a threat to the gas lighting industry. Down through the years industries have tried to legislate others out of business. Seldom have they succeeded, particularly when there is big money involved. The best way to fight is to get aggressive, find new uses for your product or point up the advan­ tages of it. National Wildlife Week, March 17-23, will be recognized in several of the State Parks and Rec­ reation Areas in Southern Michigan. At the Yankee Springs Recreation Area near Hastings, the following special interpretive pro­ grams will be offered the public with all activities starting at the Gun Lake Campground parking area: On March 16 there will be a guided hike at 10 am and an Auto Tour at 1:30 pm. On March 17 there will be a guided hike at 1:30 pm and an Auto Tour at 3:30 pm. On March 23 there will be a guided hike at 10 am and an Auto Tour at 1:30 pm. On March 24 there will be a guided hike at 1:30 pm and an Auto Tour at 3:30 pm. What does the Chamber of Commerce do for the Village? Letter To The Editor Though we now reside in Ypsilanti, I attended the Vermontville school system and spent some 25 years in the area. It has always been a good baseball area, and for that reason I thought I would enclose a brochure on a project which North­ wood Institute in Midland will be hosting this sum­ mer. The college requested that I staff it for them with Pirate instructors and head the staff which I will be doing. I feel that it is a fine school for boys with some baseball ability. The facilities are great, and the college campus is just wonder­ ful m summer. This is the only camp of its kind in the Mid-west and L feel the camp will be filled early. I would suggest any lad interested in attending, apply for entry at once. Would appreciate your running a little informa­ tion on this if you would be so kind. Would hope that we might have a few boys enrolled from the Nashville-Vermontville area. Thank you ever so much. Ken Beardslee Pittsburgh Pirates Scouting Dept. Pittsburgh, Pa.

That seems to be a question that is plaguing some of the various members and our Secretary lately. In the last few years we have grown from a near membership of eight to a paid up membership of forty-seven this year of 1968. We are a busv and active group, which meets once a month for lively discussions on various problems, carry out many worth-while projects and have very, interesting and informative meet­ ings. If anyone is in doubt of this, we challenge you to attend one of our meetings and see. We meet the second Wednesday in each month at 7:00 p. m. at the V. F. W. Hall. Just notify the Secre­ tary or the President, if you would like to attend. Some of our various accomplishments are as follows: Assisted with all of the Michigan Week and Mayor Exchange Days, assisted ana contributed to the firemen in carrying out the Homecomings and Free Barbeques, Published Tourist Books and Brochures, led Travel Trailer Caravan, sponsored a Circus, sponsorc-Bank Night, sponsored the Harlem Stan Basketball Game (netting money foe the school), donated to the Boy ScouU^sponsored zoning information and pushed its formation, con­ tributed money to help induce The Baby Bliss, Inc. to come into Nashville, sponsored our new Post Office dedication, helped Little Leagurers, spon­ sored Buck Barry's appearance and bought around $500. 00 worth of new beautiful Christmas lighting fixtures, plus putting on the Christmas drawings, programs parties, parades, etc. These are a few of our accomplishments. Our greatest need is for more active and perhaps a few younger members to put fresh blood, energy, and ideas into our club. One of our most interested members (if not the youngest) is Mrs. Mary Holman. She is a great inspiration to all of us with her interest and active attendance. We need you I Contact any one of us?

GEORGE VOGT-PRESIDENT GENEVA BRUMM-SECRETARY Written by Paul P. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Patil P. Chien Publishing Agency Who am I? Recently I had a heart-to-heart discussion with a very respected, highly intellectural, liberal thinking educator concerning the Vietnam situa­ tion. At the beginning of the discussion, the first remark he made was, "You ultra-conservatives do not really understand the Asian situation. " I apologized for my humble background, for as a Chinese, I am not able to objectively look at the Asian situation without becoming emotionally involved. However, I still stated my basic belief that the neutralization of Southeast Asia as being impossible at the present time. To discuss neutral­ ization in Vietnam is no different than trying to discuss the morality of human equality under the eyes of God with former governor George Wallace. When I finished this statement, my friend asked me, "How could you make this statement on racial equality and still be a conservative?" His comment rather startled me for a moment and threw me into a dilemma which almost con­ fused myself to question my own political affilia­ tions, my basic philosophy, my religious belief and my personal integrity. • Who am I? I am an American with Chinese ori­ gin. I spent twenty yean in China and twenty yean in the United States. I believe in an individual's freedom without jeopardizing society's safety. I believe in governmental responsibility to citizens, safety and welfare, but I dislike the government's "big brother attitude" of interference in all my ac­ tivities. I believe in religious worship, but I do not prosecute those who miss Sunday school ses­ sions. I strongly believe that the Chinese Commun­ ists and their government does not represent the will of the Ctunese people. But I'm not eagerly agreeing with George Wallace on racial discrim­ ination. The reason for my naturalization in this country is because I believe this is the land of the free where each individual can have his freedom, lib­ erty and the right to pursue his happiness.. However, today if we try to examine dur society, violence and lawlessness are protected under the name of liberty and freedom. The murder and ad­ vocates of atrocity and war are under the same flag of liberty and freedom. We have so many ig­ norant uneducated individuals who advocate vio­ lence and prefer the laboring of each individual either conservative or liberal, Bircher or commun­ ist, without sufficient evidence. If society per­ mits these people to jeopardize the individual's freedom and liberty, then we are not different than the Germans in the 1930's, Stalin in the 1940's and Mao-Tseng Tung in the 1950’s with their benchmen labeling individuals with their affilia­ tions. This is the land of opportunity, the land of free thinking. We permitted Albert Einstein to quietly survive in this land to do research work. We per­ mitted Dr. Von Braum to achieve his dream of reaching the moon. This is the land of the free for many political refugees. If any indiv iduab were to travel around this world, vbit different nations, I think he would not be able to find very many lands that have the privileges and freedom we have. However, bow to preserve it and maintain it, I think, depends upon how we are able to decentral­ ize the black power groups and quit publishing ultra-conservative bate literature. I think the mass media industries should encourage individu­ als to experience their personal beliefs and con­ victions without liberating them. I also believe that we who work in the mass media industry should ask ourselves where are we. How can we have the right to create an individual's image without questioning their real ability, sincerity, and integrity such as illustrated in tne unhappy incident of the 1964 presidential election. I think, as an individual, we should consider the question "Who are we?" We are Americans. We are God’s children. We have freedom, liberty and the right to pursue hap­ piness. We have the right to choose. Tne right to reject. We are not afraid to make a change. We have the right to admit we are wrong. We have the right to defend ourselves against abasements and laboring. We have the right to be left alone. I am grateful for this gentleman's question con­ cerning my awkward situation of a confused conser­ vative, because hi* question offered me an oppor­ tunity to ask. "Who am I?" I am an American. Therefore, I have the right to think individually and to make choices freely and to cast my ballot independently.

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 29. 1968 �■NOAOBD To discuss juvenile problems One hundred fifty school, juvenile court and law enforcing personel from the eight county region surrounding Kalamazoo will meet to discuss their mutual problems at an all day conference scheduled for 9 a. m, March 1, 1968, at the Western Michifan University Student Center in Kalamazoo, ponsored by Children's Charter of the Courts of Michigan, me.', the meeting is the first of a state­ wide series planned to help these groups better understand, and better cooperate with, each other in the prevention of juvenile delinquency and the rehabilitation of those who already show delinquent tendencies. School, law enforcement, and juvenile court people are being brought together so that they may identify and discuss areas where relationships are a problem and find out how others are meeting these problems. It is hoped each county 'will follow up with similar conferences of its own to which all interested people can be invited. Conference chairman Eugene S. Thomas, Depu­ ty Educational Director of Children's Charter and former pricipal of Kalamazoo Central High School, has announced the following topics for speakers and for afternoon discussion groups. Free Clinics available The Health Department wishes to remind the pub­ lic that free immunization clinics for the children are held in its office in Charlotte the first Wednes­ day morning of each month. Available at these clinics are all the required routine immunizations including measles vaccine, and tuberculin tests. Due to a shortage of nursing personnel, it will be impossible to set up clinics around the county this , spring for the pre-schoolers, so we urge those who wish the department to do these, to plan to attend one of the monthly clinics. Parents are urged to have this done early, as sev­ eral of the "shots" cannot be given at the same time, so it takes 2 or 3 months to complete the aeries. The Barry county Health Department bolds a free immunization clinic for children in its offices in Pennock Hospital the first Monday each Month from 9-11 A. M. All the required immunization* are available in­ cluding measles vaccine, and tuberculin skin tests are also available for the school enterers. If you wish the health department to immunize your children before they start school, now is the time to start as several of these cannot be given at the same time, and the entire process take* up 3 months. Douglas Frazier employed by Police Department Douglas Frazier, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Frazier of Rt. 2, Nashville, has been employed by the Norfolk, Virginia, Police Department since January 2nd. To become a policeman Frazier had to pass a series of nine tests, pass a physical examination, and be interviewed by members of the Police Board. So far Patrolman Frazier has walked a beat in the roughest section of Norfolk, worked in a traffic auto unit, and for a while worked as a special investigator known in Norfolk as the vice squad.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 28. 1M8 Nashville �Students observe FFA Week vocational agriculture students in Maple Valley High School joined Future Farmers of America members throughout the nation in activities to focus attention on the importance of agriculture during National FFA Week, February 17-24. "Challenging Youth in Agriculture" was this year's FFA Week Seme. The message that these young agriculturists are trying to impart to the nation is simple. They seek to inform the public of the im­ portance of the agricultural industry to America and to the world, the value of good citizenship development, and the role of Future Farmers of America in helping meet the challenges in world food production that faces America today. "Because of the many predictions of world hunger in the future, many people have stopped listening," World History Class Mr. Leon Homier film strips along with .records, about the Nation of Today. We have viewed England. France, and the Soviet Union. This will help us prepare for our individual re­ ports that we plan to give next week. We have studied and discussed in our text book about the French Revolution and Bismark and the rise of the Germanic States.

For the past seven years, our world has not been able to grow as much food as it has eaten. And, finally, the bottomless U. S. surpluses have melted away. * "Let us also point out," he added, "that it is es­ timated that toe world as a whole will need 50 per­ cent more food just two decades from now. Meet­ ing these challenges will be in the hands of young agriculturists being trained and developed in such an organization as the FFA. " Membership in the FFA is made up of students of vocational agriculture in high school. The organi­ zation's activities are designed to help develop rural leadership and good citizenship and to stimulate the students to better achievement in their study and work toward successful establishment in farm­ ing and other agricultural occupations. The Maple Valley FFA Chapter has 52 members. Officers are: Pres. - Allen Decker, Vice Pres. -Jeff Byington, Treas. -Harry Cotton, Sec. -Mike Root, Sent. -Ken Teroening, and Reporter-Dave Friddlc. The national FFA organization has approximately 450, 000 members, with 9,000 local chapters in the 50 states and Puerto Rico. The week of George Washington's Birthday is chosen each year for the observance of National FFA Week.

By Linda Derby Michigan State University Do you know how a state wide open housing law would affect you? An open housing bill is before the state legisla­ ture again this session and if it passes, everyone in Michigan could be touched by it: in one way or another. Essentially the bill is designed to ban discrimin­ ation in real estate transactions on the basis of race, color, religion, or national origin. Any person, group, or business seeking to sell or rent property would be banned from discrimination. However, there are five exemptions. 1. If you rent half of a duplex while you live in the other half. 2. If you rent rooms in your home. 3. If you sell or rent a dwelling without publicly advertising. 4. A religious group may give preference to members of the same religion in property transactions, if the property is to be used for religious charitable, or educational purposes and discrimination is not based upon race, color or national origin. 5. Rental of housing for less than a year. The bill defines several discrimination practices. Except for the five exemptions, you could not refuse to negotiate a real extate transaction with a person or discriminate in the terms or conditions of that transaction. You couldn’t refuse or, in the case of a real es­ tate agency, refuse to transmit an offer given by anyone interested in the dwelling. The bill coven financial assistance, maintenance and improvement of the property too. Retaliation for complaints of discrimination is prohibited in the bill. WHY IS THIS SPRING AIR BLUE CLOUD MORNINGDALE YOUR BEST MATTRESS BUY? The prime responsibility for carrying out the pro­ visions of this bill is placed in the State Civil Rights Commission (CRC). However, the bill encourages local governments to adopt open housing ordinances, so you could take a complaint to your local civil rights commis­ sion instead. The Circuit Court is the third place you could go if you had a discrimination complaint. You could go to only one of these agencies though, and not two or all three of them. If you want to pursue a discrimination claim with the CRC, you would have to file a written complaint, under oath within 90 days after the incident. The complaint must show that you were trying to com­ plete a real estate transaction in good faith. After that, the CRC investigates the charges and may by court consent, investigate the property. On the basis of this first investigation, the CRC may decide that the complaint is unjustified and order it dismissed. But if there is justification for the complaint, the commission tries to bring the two parties to agreement through its power of con­ ciliation and persuasion. If this does not settle the case, the CRC might petition the Circuit Court to get a temporary halt in discrimination and proceed with a formal hearing under therules of the CRC. The defendant would have to appear, with or without legal counsel and the attorney general would represent the complainant and CRC staff member who donducted the investi­ gation. If the verdict of the hearing were that an act of discrimination had occurred, the defendant would be ordered to cease, and or again offer his property for sale, lease, rental, or subrental, which over the case envolved. In addition, the CRC could petition the Circuit Court to order damages payed to the victim of discrimination. If the defendant is an individual, the fine could not exceed $500. If the defendant is a real estate brokerage, or financial company the fine would be $1, 000 for each violation and $2, 000 if it were a violation of a previous commission order. The defendant could appeal for reconsideration by the CRC within 15 days after the verdict was reached. This is the procedure for the CRC as proposed in the state bill currently before the legislature. Many city open housing ordinances are carried out in a similar manner. Lansing and East Lansing are two examples. Elementary tournaments The Elementary Basketball Tournament will be held beginning Saturday March 2 with the semi­ finals.

MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1968 NUMBER 41 Sewage vote included in Monday’s election Vermontville officials are hoping for a good turnout of the 243 votes at the spring election Monday. For in addition to electing officers for the coming year the voters who are property tax­ payers will vote on borrowing $100, 000 and issu­ ing general obligation bonds for the purpose of paying part of the cost of a new sanitary sewer system. The estimated cost for the complete system has been set at $458, 000. This will cover the con­ struction of a sanitary sewer system including trunk and lateral sanitary sewers, force mains, proper pumping stations, lift stations and oxidation ponds, together with necessary appurtenances and attachments. The balance of the cost will be taken care of from the proceeds of the sale of revenue bonds, and from a federal grant, if one . is received altho the: hope of such igrant is dim at the present time. Back in February 1966 the village received its first notice from the Water Resources Commission that something must be done concerning the con­ tamination of the Thornapple river from raw sew­ age being dumped into the river. An engineering company was called in and a concerted study was started. The study showed that due to the kind of soil in the area a lagoon system seemed to best suit the needs. The necessary land purchase was made, along with a right-of-way. In June, 1967, a second notice was received from the Water Resources Commission and in October, 1967, came: a final order from the commission. The village was requested to submit plans and specifications for sewers to the Director of the Department of Public Health for approval by June 1, 1968, and that by January 1, 1969, construction contracts be awarded and construction started. The plant is to be completed and in operation by April 1, 1970. If the proposition.is passed Monday the work will progress as rapidly as possible. If the proposition is rejected it will only delay the pro­ ject, and meanwhile the costs are most likely to increase, in view of the general trend of the nation. The annual village election will also be held at this time. • Those on the Republican ticket include: Vernon Trowbridge as President, Leu Nagle as Clerk, Kathleen Marsh as Treasurer, ano Kenyon Peabody, LaVance Aldrich, and Charles Viele as Trustees, Esther Dunham asiAssessor. On the Democratic ticket there is only one per­ son running and this is Anne Samann for the post of Trustee. Serving on Monday's election board are Mrs. Agatha Marcum, Mrs. Dorothy Thrun, Mrs. Doris Benton and Ernest Marcum. Nashville voters will go to the polls next Mon­ day to elect a president, clerk, treasurer and assessor, as well as three trustees. Since only one party (Republican) submitted a slate for the election there will be no opposition Members of the newly formed Ambulance Service stand in front of the ambulance; Norman Sandbrook, Blair Hawblitz, Otto Dahm, Russell K. Mead, Wm. Schantz, Forrest Babcock, and Wes Erwin. to the candidates on that ticket. Harold Christiansen is running for the office of president. Harold has been active in the Nashville Chamber of Commerce and has served for the past two years as the president of the Nashville Maple Syrup Association. James Rizor who has served the village as Presi­ dent did not want to run again. Incumbant Ada Skedgell. is running for the office of president. Harold has been active in the Incumbent Ada Skedgell, is running for the office of Clerk, and Marguerite Wilson (incumbent) is running for the office of Treasurer. Both of these ladies have held office for a number of terms. Justin W. Cooley is running for the office of Assessor. Carl Tuttle, who held the office of Assessor for a number of years chose not to run again. Frank Scramlin and Henry Fedewa, both incum­ bents are running for Trustee and Ben Kenyon is running for the same office. Dr. Chien wi Il address group As another public service, the Nashville Evange­ lical United Brethren Church will have Dr. Paul P. Chien speak in the church parlors on Sunday evening, March 17, at 7:30. Dr. Chien's general topic will be prejudice. Dr. Chien was born in Shanghai, China, and received his Bachelor of Science degree from TaTong University. Since coming to America, he studied at Detroit University and Michigan State University. His doctorate is in law. He has had wide experiences as college professor, publisher, accountant, financial management consultant, and lecturer. (His columns are now carried in this newspaper). He is now director of the Northwood Institute School of Banking and Finance in Midland, Michigan. Dr. Chien recently toured the Far East and Europe, visiting the U. S. Overseas Information Offices and the beads of many nations. Dr. Chien has become a United States citizen and feels that ■ this country has been very good to him and his family. He comes, therefore, not with a bitter­ ness about prejudice, but with a concern about the prejudice he has found in his native China and throughout the world. • DR, PAUL CHIEN Pastor Varner emphasizes that this is a public service and invites clubs, schools, and individuals to hear this outstanding speaker. Giris compete for Syrup Festival Queen Five girls will compete for the honor of repre­ senting Vermontville as the queen of the Syrup Festival this year.

Break-in reported Bon West, manager of the Nashville Co-op Ele­ vator, stated that the Elevator was broken into sometime Sunday night or Monday morning of this week. Mr. West said that entry was obtained through the front door of the Elevator. It appears that the lock was slipped in some manner. About $8. 00 in silver was taken however the attempt to get into the inner portion of the safe was not successful although a great deal of damage was done to the door. Nashville Police Chief Don Langham said the matter was under the investigation of the State Police. �"AS I SEE IT” Written by Paul P. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency The Pueblo incident has shocked the world. This sense of shock is especially evident in the United States. This state of shock is due largely to a lack of experience in international affairs. We have been misinformed, or at least ill-inform­ ed, by our own government concerning the basic communistic strategy in International conquest. If we are to serve as international policemen, then we must understand the possibilities of a second, third, fourth front, and perhaps many more. We thought in the past that a Korean truce would insure world peace. We neglected to consider the Indo-Cnina situation. The Pueblo case is just one indication of the problem. At any moment the situation in Cam­ bodia could deteriorate, the North Laotian problem could become worse, the Thai border incidents could start in again, the Indian-Pakistan truce could be broken, the internal unrest in Indonesia could erupt, the Japanese internal leftest could be revitalized. It would be naive to think that the situation in Vietnam and the Pueblo incident have no relation­ ship to each other. It is too idealistic of Asia. Historically the Chinese have not always been welcomed by other Asian nations. However, when these people are unhappy with their own governments, when they are suppressed and pov­ erty stricken by corruption, these people are will­ ing to accept tne leadership and guidance of the Chinese Reds. Many western observers believe the recent Red Guard movement served to slow the activities of the Chinese in Vietnam and Korea. I believe time is running out though, and we cannot pin our hopes on this type of internal overthrow. The Chinese hierarchy met a few months ago and disposed of Madam Mao. They had her committed to a mental hospital and the reasoning they gave rwas that she was overworked and had suffered mental exhaustion. Now Mao's 4th wife is in a mental sanitarium in Peking. Apparently the Chinese nation is willing to for­ give Chairman Mao's emotional instability which has been evident and which has made a shambles of the Chinese political, military and social structure during the past eighteen months. The military clique is again in command in China and the most arrogant diplomat. Chou-enLai, is in command again. These facts have convinced me that the Chinese Communists will again move to regain interna­ tional prestige for China and to unify her internal factions. Now is the time for us to serve notice to the Chinese Communist leaders that these violent activities will not help their future international image, and that nuclear power in the Fai East will not serve to regain their Asian dictatorship. BACKSTREET BAROMETER The sap is running. At least there is a couple of inches in the bottom of the bucket* on our tree*. Springtime must be on the way. Some of the Florida folks have returned and they say it has been cold down there this year. Talk like this makes us poor folk* who were forced to stay here feel better. Hank Woudstra said it was so cold one day that he couldn't enjoy the . golf game. Both communities are holding elections next Monday and there will be a school millage vote on March 18. In Nashville the election will just be of village officers and since there is only one party running there probably will not be a great deal of interest. In Vermontville thought, there is the little matter of a sewage problem that must be considered. Pogo, a comic strip character in the Enquirer and News has been taking a little poke at our governor every now and again. If he did nothing more with his campaign the governor did let people know that there is sucn a place as Michigan. The local fire ladies have been called out a food many times in the past week, and so far as know all of the calls were to grass fire*. Mott of these fire* are caused by careless burning of trash and brush. These fires are ex­ pensive to the department, and they could be prevented by just a bit of care. The crooks seem to have an eye on our town. In the past few weeks we have had a rash of break­ ing and entering*. The latest is the one at the Co-op Elevator. Plycoma Veneer now employing 68 persons Girl Scout News Watch for the Brownies on TV Thursday at 5:00 on Channel 6. About 60 girls from Vermontville* four Scout troops. Brownies, Juniors, and Cadets attended the Charm School session held in Charlotte at the Congregational Church basement last Satur­ day along with other troops from the area. It was a fun filled day with .instruction and pointers given on everything from hair, figure, cloths, skin, and manners. The day was broken up with song-fests and nose-bag lunches at noon time. Next week only Junior & Cadets will attend for more schooling, check your instruction sheets for items you are to bring tnat day. Girl Scout Week begins Sunday March 10th and all Scouts are asked to attend the church of their choice on that day with the leaders, wearing uni­ forms if they have one. On TV the advertisement for Boy Scouts says "Scouting rounds a gu, out”. As one Girl Scout leader once said, ” It's not what we can do for the girl, but what we can do for the woman inside her" This might be a good slogan for us, the years a girl spends in scouting truly does make a better woman out of her, years later.

Continually the company ha* been able to make improvement* in its equipment. This is largely due to having among it* personnel tome very ingenious men capable ofdeveloping other-wise expensive piece* of machinery if they had to be purchased from the manufacturer. In fact, tome piece* used at the plant are one man's idea* and are original with him. This man is Ronald Gank. Included among hi* latest innovations is a para­ llel saw jointer he developed for use in the splic­ ing department. Since this it his original idea it is the only such machine in use anywhere and speeds up the splicing, and make* inspection and repair easier. This was put into use last November. Now he is working on plan* for an even bigger "double guillotine" type jointer. He has also developed a new "trim »aw" for the plywood department. This will be in use in about two months. Still another device Gank hat devel­ oped it a new debarker for the veneer department. This is much larger and faster than the one pre­ viously used to peel the bark off the log*. More than two carload* of veneer are shipped out each month, along with a carload of plywood. Much is shipped to manufacturers of trailer* and kitchen cabinet* in Indiana. Other veneer goes to Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wiscon­ sin, Washington, Oregon and several points in Michigan. Several years ago a branch plant, for the mak­ ing of plywood core, was developed at Kalkaska. It was held by a group of stockholders, and known as the American Make Veneer Company. This past year the plant was purchased by Decowski, • Blake­ ly and Gank. A manager is in charge at Kalkaska, but the payroll and other office work is handled at the Nashvule plant. Behind the success of Plycoma lie* a story of dogged determination, bleak, black yean when the personnel could easily have given up in des­ pair. But they had vision and faith, were willing to put in long, tedious hours, and, if all goes well, the company will within the next few years, be able to command its proper place in a competitive business.

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1968 WOODARD'S MOTH SERVICE Nashville Hot Lunch Menu Ph. OL3-6003 on your Dial �Farm Calendar fl School millage vote asks for additional funds A special election has been scheduled tor Mon­ day, March 18 for the purpose of voting on eight mills for operational purposes. This is a renewal of the five mills that expired with the December 1967 levy plus three mills to help cover increased operational costs. The millage will be voted for a period of two years covering 1968 and 1969. Additional funds would allow for expansion of existing programs plus adding new programs to the curriculum. The school district has been fortunate in having funds available to match state and fed­ eral programs in the areas of science, mathematics, history, commercial classes, shop classes, and English enabling the school district to purchase additional teaching materials and equipment. The Board of Education ended the past school year on June 30 with a general fund balance of S132, 397. 24. It is necessary for the district to end the year June 30 with a sizeable balance to meet summer payrolls plus summer operational and maintenance costs. A high percent of the teachers are on a twelve month pay basis meaning that the summer payroll is nearly as high as during the reg­ ular school year. The board of education plans to end this school year with a good balance, out some­ what less than last June 30. Unfortunately this year we have only received a small increase in state aid even though a state income tax was ap­ proved last spring wnich was to have given the schools additional operational funds. Our reimburse­ ment for transportation this year is less than last year, and the amount of reimbursement for reme­ dial reading has dropped greatly. This year's state aid act requires that a school district levy ten mills for full participation in state aid. Considering that we are allocated only eight mills through Barry county, it is necessary that we have extra operational millage allowing the school district to receive full state aid. It is now expected that die minimum levy for full part­ icipation in state aid next year will increase from ten to twelve mills. Absentee ballots may be obtained from Wallace Graham, Secretary Board of Education. His address is 504 S. Main Street, Nashville, Michigan, tele­ phone 653- 6951. Application for absentee ballots must be made not later than 2:00 p. m., Saturday, March 16.

MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 1968 7 Charlotte, Mich �Telephone Company reports new directory assistance Beginning Monday, March 11, a new greeting from the operator will be heard by Vermontville telephone users to dial information. Instead of responding with tbe customary "Infor­ mation, " the operator will say, "Directory Assis­ tance. " The change, according to J. Herbert Cox, Michi­ gan Bell Telephone Company area manager, is being made to improve Information service by reducing requests for telephone numbers readuy available in tbe directory. Cox said the new greeting will serve to remind callers that the number they want is probably in their directory. On the average, about three out of every four calls to Information are for numbers listed in the directory, Cox said. "The time spent by an operator looking up and repeating telephone numbers already in the direc­ tory should by devoted to helping those people who -must call Information, " Cox said. "People, for instance, who can't read or see well, those who need new numbers not yet printed in the directory, those calling from a telephone where there might not be a directory, or those calling in an emer; gency." The 1968 directory is now being distributed. With the new procedure, callers wanting a number that is listed in the book will hear the operator say: "That number is listed in the new directory as------- , or, if the number is not listed but avail­ able,’ the operator will say: "This is a new number. Please make a note of it. The number is------- . " Cox said the continued high rate of telephone usage here and statewide in general is placing an overload on Information lines that are unnecessarily used to get telephone numbers listed in a directory. Distribute new directories Nationwide, Cox said, the daily number of calls to Information has increased in the last 10 years from 6 million to 12 million, a much greater percentage increase than that in ■■all telephone calls. Calls to Information have risen to the point where they constitute about 45 percent of all operator contacts with phone customers. Couple will observe wedding anniversary Mr. and Mrs. Wm. J.

By GLADYS RICHARDSON The fastest growth period of a baby is its first year. In some respects Baby Bliss Company branch plant at Nashville parallels that growth. Today 60 dozen various garments per day are made at the plant located on Nashville's Main street which necessiutes using 300 yards of mater­ ial and more than 9, 600 yards of thread. This more than doubles the output of a year ago. The parent plant is located at Middleville and the branch was opened here 1 1/2 years ago. It makes infant clothing of which 95 percent is for children not over a year old. When they first open­ ed here, they made one-piece stretch garments and two-piece terrycloth sleeping garments. Now they sew 14 different types of garments having added two-piece jump or play uniforms, six varieties of romper suits, crawlers and bibs, just to mention a few. When the company first set up operations theyroccupied c room 24 by 100 feet. Last July e they r openope ed a cutting room a<” ’-----the *•------sewing *---------room and the next tew months doubled their space. they will again double their entire area by opening the upstairs in the building. This will be used as the cutting room, and the 25 sewing machines, now stored across the street, will be installed. There will also be ample room for material storage up­ stairs, and a second office. Before the upper floor can be used the ceiling will be lowered, the walls painted, new florescent lighting installed, and an elevator will be installed which will go from the basement to the second floor. The basement will be used for die cutting machinery. Also on the agenda for this coming summer is the remodeling of tbe front of the building. Red brick will be used to modernize the front and new windows will be installed. A new entrance for both upper and lower offices will be constructed, and a new fire escape will be added upstairs. A new heat­ ing plant was installed this falL Heading up Baby Bliss is General Plant Manager Harold Mohawk and President and Sales Manager is Arthur Gunther. The Nashville plant manager is Richard Hansen who took over his duties here on May 21. Previously he had served 21 years in a wholesale shoe manufacturing plant in Holland.Mrs. Margaret Reid is supervisor at Nashville. Besides the main plant at Middleville where all packaging and shipping is handled, and the Nash­ ville plant, there is a sewing plant at Middleville and another plant at Grand Rapids where only dia­ per bags are manufactured. When Baby Bliss contemplated opening the Nash­ ville plant they took a detailed survey of available help in the area and found it to be adequate. When they install the 25 more sewing machines they an­ ticipate there will be no difficulty in procuring employees. Because it takes approximately six months to train a woman to operate the sewing ma­ chines, they will add only a’few at a time. Cur­ rently there are some 20 women employed, and the payroll runs $1,000 or more a week. When the Middleville plant was looking for a community in which to open a branch, the Nash­ ville Chamber of Commerce gave invaluable as­ sistance during the negotiating period. Baby Bliss purchased the Building, but, as a vote of confi­ dence. tbe Chamber pledged $2, 000 to the com­ pany to be paid at the rate of $500 a year over a four-year period. The plant has proved an asset to the village. Mr. Hansen is having machines for rolling and cutting trim materials and more cutting tables will be put in when the upstairs area is completed. Presently all of the employees come from the Vermontville, Hastings and Nashville areas. Ph. 543-4246 a Come in and let us straighten things out! WE GIVE COMPLETE CAR SERVICE (Time for Your Spring Tune Up) Babcock's 01 3-3401 Standard Stamping now in their 26th year Standard Sumping of Nashville is entering its 26th year and its orders for the year have been con­ tracted. However, because of the nature of its or­ ders, many for automobile operations, and the cur­ rent strike problems it can hardly be expected to do more than * bold its own* this year. While small town plants do not immediately feel the squeeze of shut-downs in far-away cities, the backlash does eventually catch up, and it is quite possible no new orders will be com' ' this ‘ ' in year. Coupled also with the automotive i res is the fact that the steel contracts are up for negoti­ ation this coming summer. The Nashville plant, a subsidiary of the Wohlert Corp, cf Lansing, employs 20 persons, four of whom are women. The plant is in operation five days a week. Practically all of the employees are from the local area and many have worked tor the company ten years or more. During tbe past year a ”115 straight side double crank press* was moved into tbe plant. Its primary function is to pierce and trim disc brake shields for Olcbmobile, although it has other uses as well Over the yean the company has constantly adder new equipment to improve efficiency and step up production. More recently the firm added a line tor tbe Eaton Stamping plant of Eaton Rapids. The work includes pans for starters for internal combustion fractional horsepower engines. These parts are used at the Eaton Rapids plant in the manufacture of lawn mower motors for Sears, Roebuck &. Co. Equipment at Standard Sumping includes a high production press used for shaft piercing, a 250-ton straight side press, a 100-ton hi| ’-----*duction * ---------press, zand the automatic boxing mach. In addition to the automotive the plant pro­ duces a wide range of split steel ings and garden tractor parts. Richard Sheppard is plant manager. He began work at Standard Stamping in October 1961 and was named 1 manager in September 1963. In co * ' on this year’s----activities be said that while be a general trends throughout tbe country. So far as local labor problems are concerned, a three-year labor agreement was negotiated in June, 1967. While there has been some cut-back in employ­ ment over a year ago, he is optimistic in holding his men on tbe job. THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 7. 1968 �Discuss ambulance service When an Ambulance is needed call the Fire Number OL3-234L This is a rather simple state­ ment but in its making lies many hour* of work and many meetings by a group of dedicated people. Ours was not a unique problem as Ambulance Op­ erators all over the country began dropping out their services several months ago. The Barry County Board of Supervisors started working on this problem a long time ago. The Health Committee of the Board has traveled many miles and spent many days in workiM out details of the County program. Eventually Ambulance Service for the County was asked for on a compe­ titive bid basis. The bid involved five zones'in the county, ours being known as Zone No. 5 and included the Townships of Maple Grove, Castle­ ton which in turn included the Village of . Nash­ ville. A local organization known as the Castleton­ Maple Grove Ambulance Service was set up in order to present a bid to the County Board of Su­ pervisors. It was felt that service on a local basis should be set up if at all possible. The bid present­ ed to the Board by our local organization was the low bid for our Zone. The Bid was then accepted by the County Board on February 21st, 1968 and a contract with the local Board and the County was signed and went in effect on March 1st 1968 for a period of one year. The members of the new 5 man Ambulance Board are William Schantz, President; Otto DahmVice President; Russell K. Mead-Secretary and Treasurer; Blair Hawblitz-Trustee; Norman Sand­ brook-Trustee. This Board has already had several meetings in order to set up the details of Ambulance Service. The two Townships, acting through the Ambulance Board, have purchased the Ambulance formerly owned by George Vogt. It will be garaged at the Vogt garage until such time as other arrangements can be made. Sometime in the future the two Townships along with the village hope to be able to build a new Fire Barn, and then if need be room could be made available for the Ambulance in the new structure. A written agreement has been worked out with the members of the Fire Department as to the rules and regulation* for operating the Ambulance. A schedule has been set up whereby the Firemen will be taking a First Aid Course in'order to give better service as Ambulance Operators. They will then be issued First Aid card* and will be quali­ fied as Ambulance Attendants. Two of the men all ready have First Aid Cards and will be doing duty until such time as others can qualify. Additional Fire phones are being installed in order to get better communication among the available Firemen. One member of the Fire Department has been designated to keep the Am­ bulance in good repair and ready to run at all time*. In checking with Forrest Babcock, Fire Chief, I find that several people in the Village of Nashville have been designated as back up opera­ tor* in a case where most of tbe Firemen might be on a fire call. Firemen will also take care of billing at the point of pickup whenever possible. A charge will he made on all Ambulance calls, and the charges will be based on tbe following schedule------- Nashville to Hastings-$20. 00, Nashville to Charlotte-$20. 00, Nashville to Battle Creek-$25. 00, Nashville to Lansing-$40. 00, and Nashville to Grand Rapids-$50. 00. Any other destination will be charged for at the rate of $20. 00 plus $. bO per mile one way from Nashville. Speaking for the Ambulance Service as Secre­ tary and Treasurer of the newly created Board I would like to express our appreciation to George Vogt for his helpful suggestions as well as his patience in keeping Ambulance Service available until such time as the two Townships could take over. Appreciation also goes to all of the Firemen for their willingness to cooperate in setting up details, and especially to Forrest Babcock, Wes Erwin, Fred Ackett and Leon Ackett who have spent considerable effort on behalf of the new Ambu lance Service. We also appreciate the efforts of the two Township Boards for their efforts, as well as the Village Council for their help. We wanted local service and I think when a local community can solve their own problems it works out to their advantage. Just a few suggestions in concluding this article When you need an Ambulance - Call the Fire Number OL3-234L, Specify whether Fire or Am­ bulance CalL Give Directions to place of call very clearly. If at night leave porch light on. 1 have had occasions to be present at a few of the fires of the past few weeks and I believe that we can have justifiable pride in the job that our Firemen do as well as the equipment that the people of Castleton and Maple Grove have provi­ ded. We have no reason to believe that the Am­ bulance Service will be otherwise. Russell K. Mead Secretary - Treasurer Castleton Maple Grove Ambulance Service NOTICE OF ELECTION TO THE QUALIFIED ELECTORS OF THE VILLAGE OF VERMONTVILLE, EATON COUNTY, MICHIGAN.

LETA NAGLE, VILLAGE CLERK 40-41C Fire Chief urges caution in burning Fire Chief Forrest Babcock has reported that tbe Nashville Volunteer Fire Department is experienc­ ing a number of grass fires. He urges the residents of Maple Grove and Castleton Township and the Village of Nashville to use extreme caution at this tune in burning trash. In mentioning the concern over these grass fires and the danger to property and buildings, etc., Mr. Babcock mentioned that there is a Burning Ordinance which regulate* the burning of papers, rubbish, leaves, gras* or any other inflammable waste materials within these townships. Material must be contained in a steel or masonry container, so constructed as to prevent the blowing about of any piece* of burning material, any ashes or cinders and the container must be no less than 25 feet from any building. These receptacle* shall be subject to inspection by the Chief of the Fire Department or anyone delegated by him to make such inspections. In regard to grass fires. Section IQ of the burning ordinance state* that it is unlawful to bum any grass, weeds, leaves or other material from any field or lot without first obtaining a permit from the Fire Chief, or someone designated by him to act in such capacity, who shall be empowered to issue the permit at nis discretion, having in mind tbe weather condition, water supply, winds and other hazardous conditions. The ordinance further state* that there shall be no burning after 9:00 p. m. Mr. Babcock urge* cooperation in this matter and state* that if there are any questions, be may be contacted.

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MARCH 7. 1968 �Offer Flouride treatments Topical applications of flouride will again be offered to Barry County children this summer. Mrs. Gene Mater and Mrs. William Swift are tbe chair­ men for Nashville, The flouride program which is supervised by the Michigan Department of Public Health, will be made available to 3 or 4 year old preschoolers, second, fifth, and eighth graders and to special cases referred by dentists. The procedure consists of four visits to the flouride clinic at approximately two day intervals. The child's teeth are cleaned on tbe first visit and a flouride solution is applied directly to the surface of tbe teeth. Tbe flouride application is then repeated during the next three visits. This technique has been shown to reduce tooth decay by about 40?> as compared with tbe 60 to 65% re­ duction obtained with flouridated water. In addition to providing protection against cavi­ ties, the program offers a valuable dental exper­ ience for children with no discomfort.

It is a 42 day Farmer-To-Farmer Study Tour sponsored by Farm and Home Section. You will see exciting places. You will catch up on extraordinary farming techniques. The tour will start from the West Coast and fly to Tahiti, spending a few days there sight­ seeing and having a ball. Then it’s off to New Zealand where you will visit farms and meet people, including agricultural officials — who may want to learn something from you. And perhaps teach you something new. The same goes for your trip through Austral­ ia where the farmers are fantastic and the peo­ ple love Americans. The rest of the trip includes Singapore, Bang­ kok, Hong Kong and Tokyo. Sightseeing, most meals, tips, hotels, and transportation included. And you will know you are flying the best airline there is — Pan American, “The World’s Most Experienced Airline.” Participants on this Farmer-To-Farmer Tour departing the West Coast on October 17 for 42 exciting days will have a real opportunity to meet warmhearted, hospitable folks . . . see their properties . . . even stay in their homes.

EVERBEARING CUMBERS! Who could argue with the statement. .. “fanning gets more demanding and com­ plicated every year” ? Keeping up with a fast moving field of agriculture can really present problems. One year a farmer thinks he has every­ thing figured out . . his equipment is all in good condition . . . he’s farming a rea­ sonably large acreage . ._. margins have been OK in the past so that things aver­ aged out in the market place from year to year. Then, one morning he suddenly realizes that the whole picture of producing corn and soybeans is changing. Land prices are higher ... taxes are up ... profit nfargins are narrower, as is the space between rows in many fields. He has been a good farmer in past years. Now, he suddenly realizes that to stay in business and continue to make a good living, he must start doing everything ‘more right than ever before’ and keep up with changing times. Some of these agricultural economic facts of life can be credited with most of the motivation that has gone into the creation of Farm Show’s Corn and Soybean Clinics . . . this new dimension in education and selling. Perhaps you were one of those who at­ tended the 1968 round of clinics just com­ pleted. The shows were held in some fifty locations in South Dakota, Minnesota, Ne­ braska, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. Thousands of farmers turned out. The Clinics, produced and staged by Farm Shows, Inc. of Madison, Wisconsin were sponsored by a half dozen commer­ cial companies who wish to make sure that as many farmers as possible are kept upto-date from year to year on these very important changes that are taking place. Companies with modern stories to tell who participated included Allis-Chalmers, Amchern, Behlen, DeKalb Agricultural Asso­ ciation, Shell Chemical Co. and SmithDouglass fertilizer. As you can see, the nature of the total 6 hour presentation covered everything, from preparing the seed bed through the drying and storing of the harvested grain. Many thousands of volumes of agricul­ tural research material are written every year. Naturally, these volumes contain mil­ lions of words and would fill many large rooms if stacked solid. Farmers simply do not have the time to do much reading. It is the responsibility of others to search through all of this material and “bother the fanner” with only that information that wfll directly help him. This is what the Farm Shows Corn and Soybean Clinics did. Farmers started to arrive at the sites of the farm clinics about 8:30 in the morning.' They were pretty busy even before the formal program started__ filling out reg­ istration cards, watching out-of-door mov­ ies on hunting and shooting and enjoying coffee and donuts. The hot coffee was espe­ cially appreciated "by the hundreds of farmers attending the clinics in subzero weather. Smith-Douglass brought the fertilizer story to the farmer-guests. Producing a good corn or soybean crop is not too unlike feeding livestock. A good balanced feeding program pays off in optimum yields and maxi­ mum profit Spokesmen for the company recommended following a good soil testing' program. They further recommended that some fertilizer be placed in the row close to the seed for fast utilization in the early growth stage. The man with the big S-D on his shirt had a special message concerning use of fertilizer on soybeans. He said, “There are all kinds of mixed feelings about soybean fertilizing . . . farmers cannot expect soy­ beans to do their best if they have to do it on leftovers from last year’s corn crop.” His presentation, like most of the others, stressed maximum use of $300 to $1,000 per acre land. The DeKalb Agricultural Association had a good story to tell on the breeding and devel­ opment of constantly improving seed corn varieties. The speaker said that the ability of the farmer to make better yields de­ pends directly upon his suppliers to keep coming up with better products for him to use. “The pressure is on us much as it is on the farmer,” he said. “We are constantly developing seed corn hybrids superior to those already in production. This is a con­ tinuous job with us and I am sure others on the Clinic Program have research pro­ grams that never end,too.” There probably are few farmers left who doubt the yield power of single-cross seed corn varieties or the sound economics in­ volved in planting them. Ways of planting are changing, too. The Allis-Chalmers story was broken down in­ to two segments. The first was a movie on farm power which featured the many new tractors now offered to fit any operation. Tbe second part of the Allis-Chalmers presentation brought to light some of the �basic changes taking place in the field . . . changes such as planting corn and soy­ beans in narrow rows and minimum till­ age. The company was a leading proponent of narrow rows and has developed a whole new line of farm equipment that permits the farmer to go in that direction any time he wishes. The experience of Clyde Hight -pf Moweaqua, Illinois in both narrow row and limited tillage practices was featured in a film presentation in which Clyde, on film, answers questions tossed at him by the moderator who was there in person. It was a clever method of conducting a question and answer session. The same technique was used with Harry Young, the North Carolina farmer who has done so much work in the area of double cropping and no-til planting. And where would today's fanner bo with■ jut the chemical industry? Amchem was well represented at the meetings and left no doubt in the minds of soybean produc­ ers present that it does, indeed, pay to use good herbicides like their own Amiben. A humorous but informative film entitled MORE JACK FROM YOUR BEAN­ STALK pointed out that there is no short­ cut to success in the soybean business. This slide presentation, along with the entire story of controlling annual broadleaf weeds and grasses sent farmers home with the knowledge that it costs far less to control weeds than to let the weeds have the crop. Another Amchem product, Butyrac 175, is a very special herbicide that can actual-^Jy effectively combat the much despised Cockelbur. Another invisible robber of farm profits is that group of insects that live in the soil and do their dirty work underground. On hand throughout the cornbelt to tell farmers how they can effectively fight worms, beetles, maggots, grubs and a host of other insects was the Shell Chemical Company. An excellent film entitled A VERY GOOD YEAR featured close-up footage of these destructive soil insects actually eating . planted seeds and the tender root and stalk shoots . . . before they even have a chance to get a good start. Probably you all have heard of Shell’s popular product, Aldrin. This insecticide and its proper use was more or less featured in the Shell presen­ tation. They included, however, the use story of Heptachlor as well. Thus far, we have the crop pretty well cared for. It has been planted ... much of it in narrow rows, we have fertilized prop­ erly . . . applied herbicide and insecticide. We’ll have to skip tbe growing season and get through the harvest quickly with a new Gleaner Combine ... which brings us - to the last member on the Corn and Soy­ bean sponsoring team. Tbe speaker representing tbe Behlen Man­ ufacturing Company greeted fanners present with a pledge to show them more reasons for staying UP ON THE FARM. He said the technical business of farming is one that really puts a man’s total ability to the test and that those who have survived no long­ er live down on the farm. Behlen had the job of advising the farm­ er what be should do with the grain that he brings in from the fields. He was well supplied with information, too, being a rep- resentative of a company who has led the way in crop drying and storage facilities. The speaker explained why it is necessary to do more than just put the grain in a tank and forget it He told of the necessity of temperature control and aeration to hold down condensation that can cause spoilage. Many good engineering-oriented illustrations made the problem more easy to understand. Many farmers dry their grain and hold it in storage until a future time when prices are better. Many a farmer has paid for his new storage facilities with just a few crops by planned marketing in this way. Every Com and Soybean Clinic was wound up with a brief talk prepared and delivered by a guest speaker. In most cases the speak­ er was a farmer . . . someone like Clyde Hight or Harry Young, previously men­ tioned ... or John Reiser, the central Illi­ nois farmer referred to by practically ev­ eryone as “the Soybean King” The EXPERTS appearing on the pro­ gram were then put to the test with a good bombardment of questions from farmers in the audience. One farmer described his experience of having attended one of the clinics this way ... “I learned how to fight bugs, kill weeds, fertilize, plant modern seed with big mod­ em equipment, how to harvest my crop, dry it properly and put it in safe storage until the price is right” Then, another was heard to say, “I think I learned more here today than I did in four years of Ag College. Of course I’m just kidding ... I think,” he added. Short on height! Long on Yield! ■MU BRAND It's no coincidence that modern DeKalb Brand XL Corn Varieties—the short ones—measure up so well in the yield department. Shortness is one of the reasons the XLs take to high population—the key factor in the highest yields. You appreciate short stalks at harvest, too . . . they stand better, and run through machines easier. No wonder there’s a record demand for DeKalb—Big name for fi/gyields.

In his letter to the board Mr. Rinehart said he planned to retire after 36 years in the profession. The resignation will become effec­ tive June 28. Mr. Rinehart came to the Maple Val­ ley school system four years ago. Supt Carroll Wolff reported that the state police bad inspected the school buses and found them in good condition. The boilers and hot lunch has also been inspected and no unsatisfactory conditions were found., Several members of the board, Supt. Carroll Wolff and elementary principal. Robert Steward, attended a meeting in Charlotte Wednesday eve­ ning of this^week to meet with other Eaton county school personnel and representatives of the Michi­ gan Legislature who answered questions pertaining to school problems. The February state aid in the amount of $104,100 has been received. General fund balance after deducting the March 15 payroll and bills is $54,170.15 plus the amount in the Savings deposit receipts amounting to $113, 580. 56. ' The board voted to transfer the Feb. 29 payroll in the amount of $30,165.45 and the March 15 payroll of $29.299.45 to the payroll account. They also approved bills from the general fund in the a­ mount of $11,771. 76. Mrs. Iva Weiler reported on the findings of the elementary teachers in regard to methods of teach­ ing handwriting. The teachers preferred the ZanerBloser method over the Palmer method 26 to 4. Af­ ter her report the board voted to purchase the sup­ plies preferred by the teachers. Supt. Wolff and Mr. Rinehart gave a lengthy dis­ cussion of the proposed Eaton County vocational program as to its needs, transportation of students to a county center and Ute various fields in which a county program might operate. There are many classes which could be set up to benefit the stu­ dents, and it will take much planning over several years before much can be accomplished. The areas which may first be considered (and will probably be for seniors only at the beginning) could be home construction, vocational agriculture, farm mech­ anics and auto mechanics. The proposed program would be aimed primarily for students who might not be continuing their education beyond the high school level. The board voted to pay $20 for each varsity cheerleader who may be attending a summer camp. The full cost is $50 per student. Head custodian, Wayne Skedgell, was present to discuss some problems facing the custodian regard­ ing the care and improvement of school grounds and athletic fields. The board voted to purchase additional pipe, sprinkler heads, etc., in the a­ mount of $650. Because of the lateness of the hour other items on the agenda regarding teacher recommendations and a general discussion of teacher and non-teach­ ing negotiations were tabled until next Monday evening, March 18, when a special meeting will be held. - * Medical Society to sponsor athletic seminar The Barry County Medical Society is to sponsor a seminar for all persons concerned with athletic and physical education programs in the Barry County area. Dr. Thomas Myers of Nashville heads the group which will present "Prevention, Attention and Treatment of Athletic Injuries," in the latter part of ApriL Administrators of schools in the area encompass­ ing Barry County and surrounding counties are to be invited to send as many of their personnel as possible. Lectures, demonstrations and discussions are being planned. Additional information will be made available as plans progress. NUMBER 42 One will be queen The annual Maple Queen contest is to take place in the Maple Valley high school Friday evening, A­ pril 26, which is the day before the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival. Sponsoring the event will be the Vermontville Ma­ ple Syrup Festival Corporation and serving as the contest chairman is Carl Thrun, a former Festival Corporation president and a maple syrup producer. Thrun has engaged the services of Mrs. Winifred Olds of WILX TV station, Jackson, to act as emcee for the National contest. Last year's queen. Miss Sheila Anderson of Fredonia, N. Y., will be on hand to crown the new queen. «-j Shepherd has already entered its queen. Miss Pat Wischmeyer, known as the "Sugar Bush Queen. ” She was named queen February 8. Other queenswill be elected across the maple-producing states with­ in the next few weeks. One of the candidates above will be named queen to reign at the Maple Syrup Festival in ApriL They are Marabeth VanBlarcom, Debbie Wright, Nancy Weiler, Debbie Wright and Karen Benedict. Syrup makers busy Ideal weather conditions are keeping maple syrup producers busy in the area, and the trees are tapped along the streets in both Vermontville and Nashville. In the opinion of some of the producers, it appears this may be an exceptionally good year. Many of the producers are charging $7. 00 a gallon; $3.75 a half gallon; $2. 25 a quart and $1.40 a pint. Sewage vote approved village officials elected Vermontville property owners went to the polls Monday to approve the borrowing of $100, 000 and issuing general obligation bonds for the purpose of paying part of the cost of a new sanitary sewer sys­ tem. The general consensus of opinion among the people of the village before the election was that the proposition would not pass. The proposition did pass though, by a vote of 81 yes and 67 no. Now that the proposition has passed, steps will immediately be taken to start planning the new sys­ tem. Vernon Trowbridge was re-elected as President of Vermontville. He received a total of 118 votes. Leu Nagle was re-elected Clerk with a vote of 122. Kay Marsh, the incumbent, received 124 votes for the office of Treasurer. Esther Dunham was elec­ ted Assessor by a vote of 120. Three trustees were elected. Charles Viele with a vote of 109, Kenyon Peabody with a vote of 115, and LaVance Aldrich with a vote of 112. The only person running on the Democratic ticket was Anne Samann who ran for the office of Trustee. She received 50 votes. In Nashville 86 people turned out to vote. Only one party. Republican, offered a slate and all of the slate was electee. Harold Christiansen was elected President with a vote of 81. Ada Skedgell and Marguerite Wilson each received 82 votes for the offices of Clerk and Treasurer. Frank Scxamlin and Henry Fedewa both incumbents, each received 83 votes to be elected Trustees. Ben Kenyon was elected trustee with a vote of 8L Justin Cooley was elected Assessor with 'a vote of 83. One write-in appeared in the Nashville elections. Someone wrote in the name of Pat Paulson, a tele­ vision personality and a resident of California. Because there were no petitions filed in the Wood­ land election, all of the officers elected were elec­ ted by write-in. Thirty six ballots were cast in that village. Russell Link was elected President with a vote of 10. Herald Classic was elected Clerk with 20 votes. Robert Born received 18 votes for the office of Treas­ urer. Danny Brown and Gaylord Laughlin were elec­ ted Trustees with 14 and 12 votes. All of these peo­ ple are incumbents. Marvin Classic and Loren Hershberger each re­ ceived 7 votes for the other Trustee. They will draw straws to determine the outcome. Mrs. Alma Boulter was re-elected Assessor. �BACKSTREET BAROMETER The other day a woman on television told about some work she had done with animals which indi­ cates that some of the so-called lower animals are not so dumb as we used to think. This woman has a dog who can type three and four letter words as she dictates them to him. She told many stories that would indicate that dogs, cats, elephants and some other animals have the power to reason, at least to a degree. We have a man in town who can attest to this. Cecil Barrett turned up the other day with a scratched nose. The story Cecil tells to explain the scratched nose is this. The cat was sleeping peacefully on a chair, minding her own business when Cecil said to her, "Well, kitty, time to go to bed and time for you to go to the basement/' As Cecil bent over to pick the cat up she hit him a Letter To The Editor Editor Nashville News Maple Street Nasnville, Michigan by john boughton whack on the nose. Cec and 1 have it all figured out that the cat was just sick and tired of sleeping in the basement. She had it right up to the ears with Cecil taking her off the warm chair and put­ ting her into the cold basement. This was just her way of showing Cecil that she does not approve of such business. Man is constantly disturbing the balance of n a ture. He, man, is the one animal capable of completely doing away with another species. He has shown his capability often. If we keep on the way we are going we will have no wild life left in the world. Down near Miami the’e is some concern that at least a part of the Everglades will be spoiled be­ cause they have installed a big airport in the area. It is thought that the noise of the jets will scare the birds and the snakes. I know a lady who says she has been scared by snakes and it is just a matter of turn about is fair play to now scare the snakes. You have to admit one thing though. Man is treating all alike. He is not picking on just one species. He seems bent on eliminating all species, including man. He can do it too, with the big bomb, insecti­ cides, exhaust gases and destruction of fresh water. Dear Sir: During the week of March 10-16, 1968, the 6000 Girl Scouts of the Glowing Embers Girl Scout Coun­ cil are celebrating the 56th Birthday of Girl Scoutingin the United States. Throughout the 56 years. Girl Scout programs and uniforms have changed to keep up with the times, but Girl Scouts' Promise to "do my duty to God and my Country, to help other people at ail times, and to obey the Girl Scout laws," is as fresh and vital to­ day as it was 56 years ago. As President of the Glowing Embers Giri Scout Council, I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank the 1100 volunteer men and women who have helped to make Girl Scouting possible for girls in this area. Because of their leadership, the girls of today will be better prepared to assume their responsibil­ ity for the future.

Mr. and Mrs. Douglas Sherman of Charlotte will be the hosts, and the public is invited to attend. Dr. Paul Chien to be guest speaker As another public service, the Nashville Evange­ lical United Brethren Church will have Dr. Paul P. Chien speak in the church parlors on Sunday evening, March 17, at 7:30. Dr. Chien's general topic will be prejudice. Pastor Varner emphasizes that this is a public service and invites clubs, schools, and individuals to hear this outstanding speaker. Nelson Brumm who is in charge of the program for the next meeting of the Lions Club tells me that Farrell Babcock will be the speaker. This should be a very interesting and educational program, partic­ ularly since Farrell is a home town boy. To sponsor dinner Just when we thought March was to be like a lamb all through. It comes up wi like weather. You can be sure March in Michigan is going to have days like this. Laurel Chapter #31, O. E. S, will sponsor a German Dinner on Saturday, March 16. The dinner will feature a wide variety of spec­ ially prepared German dishes. The dinner will be held at the Masonic Temple in Nashville and serving will be from 6 to 8 p. m. Our village election here in Nashville came off more-or-less as was expected, excepting for one had only one party running here and so those on the Republican ticket had little in the way of op­ position. Of course, the Republican slate won by a landslide. Someone, however, wrote in the name of Pat Paulson, a television personality who has been doing a comedy thing about his candidacy for the office of President of the U. S. The people at WBCH think this is quite rare and have tried to contact Pat in California to get his re­ action to having been written in. At the time of this writing, they have not yet got in touch with him. Announce engagement FARGO Loco It Anne Boughton, Jeff Beebe, Tam and Shelly Wolff.

OL3-6QS7 �Historical Society to meet March 21 Offer Flouride treatments Topical applications of flouride will again be offered to Barry County children this summer. Mrs. Gene Mater and Mrs. William Swift are the chair­ men for Nashville. The flouride program which is supervised by the Michigan Department of Public Health, will be made available to 3 or 4 year old preschoolers, second, fifth, and eighth graders and to special cases referred by dentists. The procedure consists of four visits to the flouride clinic at approximately two day intervals. The child's teeth are cleaned on the first visit and a flouride solution is applied directly to the surface of the teeth. The flouride application is then repeated during the next three visits. This technique has been shown to reduce tooth decay by about 40% as compared with the 60 to 65% re­ duction obtained with flouridated water. In addition to providing protection against cavi­ ties, the program offers a valuable dental exper­ ience for children with no discomfort.

This it a renewal of the five mills that expired with the December 1967 levy plus an additional three mills for increased operational costs. At the present time the school district does not have any extra vo­ ted operational millage. Any registered elector is eligible to vote, and does not have to be a taxpayer to vote at this elec­ tion The polls will be open 7:00 a. tn. until 8:00 p. m. at the Kellogg Elementary building in Nash­ ville and the Maplewood Elementary in Vermont ville. The school district is m good financial condition now, and an approval of the millage on Monday will help insure a sound financial operation in the future while still being able to offer a broad educa­ tional program. One of the major concerns of the board of education is the improvement and expan­ sion of our vocational Instructional program. It is necessary that extra operational millage be approved enabling the school district to meet the requirement to receive full state aid. The present Maple Valley FHAers discuss election of offic e rs The FHAers met March 5 to discuss election of officers, the FHA banquet and State Convention. A committee composed of the Senior members and old officers will nominate the candidates for office. State Convention will be held April 18 and 19th this year. The girls from each class with the most points are eligible to attend, if they have not gone before. This helps give everybody a chance to at­ tend sometime. Committees for the banquet are as follows: * Program, Candice Pixley and Barbara Snow. Dec­ oration: Mary Spicer and Vickie Lundstrum. Food: Delores Spicer. ■ state aid formula requires a local levy to ten mills for operational purposes to obtain full state aid. and it is expected that the minimum amount of local levy for full participation in state aid will increase to 12 mills next year. The school has been alloca­ ted only eight mills by Barry county in past years which tt the amount the school district must levy although Eaton county has a higher allocation. Absentee ballots may be obtained from Mr. Wal­ lace Graham, secretary, Board of Education, 504 S. Main St., Nashville. Application for absentee bal­ lots must be made not later than 2:00 p. m. Satur­ day, March 16.

Next they came to the Elevator. They saw a train car there and the men were dumping grain. They also saw trucks full of com whicn were waiting to grind. The class walked past a gas station and a few stores. They saw maple trees with buckets hanging on them ready for sap. It was a pleasant walk, but cold. Mr. Boughton was printing tickets for the Junior Play on the little press. The big press used to be used to print the paper, but is no longer. It would take 12 hours. Now the paper is printed on a bigger press in Hastings. There it takes only 16 minutes to print the paper, fold it, and put it in bundles ready to be taken back to Nashville. There is a dark room where there was a red light. As the class left, each one was given a pencil. Locals Mrs. Eava Kalnbach visited Sunday Mrs. Minnie Blakely who is in a new home in East Lansing.

THURSDAY, MARCH 21. 1968 NUMBER 43 Select Maple Syrup Queen --News Photo Karen Benedict, daughter of Mr. and Mb. Harold Benedict of Vermontville, was chosen Queen of the Vermontville Syrup Festival Karen will also reign over the Vermontville Ma­ ple Syrup Festival which will be held on April 27th. Assisting Queen Karen, will be the runner-up in the local contest, Debbie Wright, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Wright of Vermontville. Karen and Debbie were chosen from a field of five finalists. Others competing for the honor were Debbie Foote. Nancy Weiler and Marabeth VanBlarcom. Karen is a junior at Maple Valley high school. She displays a thorough knowledge of the maple syrup making process and she answered the ques lions of the judges with a poise and grace. She is in the National Honor Society and had a part in the Junior play. She belongs to the GAA, the Ski Club, and is a former members of the Ma­ ple Valley band. Queen Karen is 17 years old. Alternate Debbie Wright is 16, and is the young­ est of the girls competing in the contest. Her hob­ bies are knitting, sewing, cooking and reading. She also is a member of the National Honor Soci­ ety and is on the Student Council. Each of the girls read an essay on syrup making and the festival which they had previously written. Judges tor the contest were Russ Kerbyson. rep­ resenting the Vermontville Chamber of Commerce, Kate Bosworth, for the Vermontville Woman's club, Wilbur Wais, American Legion, Pearl Ewing for the Eastern Star and Gene Fisher, representing rhe Vermontville Lion's Club. The judging was held following a dinner at the Congregational church. �BACKSTREET BAROMETER One of the marks of a true professional actor is his ability to ad-lib, and to react to situations or lines that are not really supposed to be in the play. Dale Fisher showed himself to be a true pro the other night in the Maple Valley junior play. A sit­ uation arose (they claim it was not supposed to be in the play) which delighted the audience and the other people on the stage. Right at the end of the play. Dale, who was play­ ing the part of a father, was walking around the ig happened living room in his pajamas. Something to the draw string of the waist band of the pajama pants and they started to slip down. Dale was right on top of the situation though. He sat down behind the davenport where he was pro­ tected from the audience, and gave his remaining lines from there. Before the end of the scene though, he just had to leave the stage. This was a part of the play. So he jumped up, firmly grasped his pajamas and raced off the stage shouting, "I've got to get out of here and change my clothes. * It broke the audience up and it also broke the other performers up. It really added a bit of spice to the play. The entire cast for both nights did a bang up job of the play. Mrs. Firster is to be congratulated for the way she is able to produce a play m the face of difficulties. This year she had to put up with members of the cast being our because of sickness, a late start, other school activities that interfered somewhat with production. In the face of these difficulties, she again did a job worthy of Broadway. The big mystery around town is who wrote the name of Pat Paulson in on his ballot for the office of village President of Nashville? Pat Paulson is a TV personality who is making some comic hay of a situation in which he pretends to be a candidate for the nomination to the office of President of the U. S. Some joker here in Nashville wrote Paulson's name in and voted for him for the office of Presi­ dent of Nashville. Now the mystery is who wrote the name in. Ac­ tually, who cares? I had a fellow tell me the other day that he , thought I was the one who did the writing-in. Well, it is gratifying that be would think I would even know how to spell my own name, much less someone like Paulson. He thought I might have written the name in to get publicity for the village and to have a little fun. As a matter-of-fact, I was not the writer-in for numerous reasons. 1. I didn't think of it. 2. While I have seen Paulson on television. I'm not sure I knew his name. When I heard of the write in, I first thought it was some local person. I thought this because I had heard the name, that is, it was familiar to me, but I didn't know to whom it belonged. 3. I actually, at the time of the vote did not know for sure now to spell the man's name. 4. And most important of all, I hold my fran­ chise to vote as one of the most valued things I have inherited. This franchise goes beyond politics or even government. It is a sacred thing, not to be violated. Even in an election where there is no choice of candidates, at a time when there are no issues, I have always made it a point to exercise my fran­ chise, because I believe it is an intellectual exer­ cise. Now that it is over though, I can see the humor in the situation. Possibly the person who did the writing-in really believed that be was casting a vote. I undemand that Paulson received a number of votes in the New Hampshire primary. Some days it hardly pays to get up. The old statement. I should have stood in bed, often applies. Just ask Bea Bowen. She will tell you this is true. The other morning Bea got up, got her husband Al, up and started to get breaklast. Now this is not the least unusuaL Happens every morning.

For some reason, (I don't know the exact circumstances) she thought it was time to get up. So she woke Al up, got the breakfast and then sent Al off to his job over in Charlotte, where he drives a truck for the Eaton County Road Commis­ sion. A short time after Al left, Bea took off the bus garage where she would pick up the school bus she drives every day. Bea thought it a bit unusual that there were darn few people who had lights on in their homes. She must have figured that everybody was sleeping in this morning. She arrived at the bus garage to find nobody there. She hung around for a few minutes, and then think­ ing that this was a beck of a way to run a business, she went back toward home. On the way back she noticed the clock on the Michigan National Bank in Vermontville. By that time it was around 3:30. A short time after she got home Bea got a tele­ phone call from Al over in Charlotte. He wanted to know what time it was. It must have been a long day for the Bowens. Wilma DeCamp tells us that a visitor to W oo d land arrived at that town from somewhere in the deep south. On her way she came through Nash­ ville. The first question she asked was what is this with the town just south of here. Are they on some sort of cleanliness bat? What makes you think that, she was askfed. Well, she said. They have wash buckets hung from just about every tree in town. With the weather the way it is we might just have a good long syrup season. The television commercials selling shampoo and hair preparations are constantly talking about healthy hair. I frankly don't know what constitutes healthy hair. I'm not sure what unhealthy hair looks like. We seem to have some in our house though, and I hope it does not become an epidemic. Our boy Chris, went over to Dr. Myers, to get a physical examination so he can compete with the track team. Chris, it turns out, is not in too bad physical shape. But on the bottom of the report, which has to be signed by the parents, is the notation, "needs a hair cut." This makes me feel pretty good. Perhaps I could qualify to give physicals myself. Good grief. Doc Myers, I diagnosed that hair a good three weeks before you did. Letter To The Editor Dear Editor; In opening the pages of your paper I was glad to read of the action of your Village Council in curbing the closing time of the taverns. It takes courage to do those things and it is to be hoped that the other towns will do likewise. I hope Nashville will take a further step of pro­ hibiting the sale of alcoholic liquors. Drunkenness is killing more and more people every day and wherever intoxicating liquor is sola that place must share In the responsibility of sanctioning the deaths of thousands of people. There are now over 5, 000, 000 alcoholics in the U. S. The first steps toward their fall was the first drink and then more, and finally loss of posi­ tion and family. Mr. and Mrs. Church member and others why not make Nashville one town not afraid to eradi­ cate the sale of this dangerous poison. Some say they will get their liquor anyway, so why not collect their tainted tax money! Do you wish to be a part of such a responsibility for a few dollars tax money’ No you good people should take a stand. Rev. Lloyd Mead St. Petersburg, Fla.

Taught? or What?" was the sub­ ject presented by the Research Committee of L’psilon Chapter of me Delta Kappa Gamma Society at its March meeting held at the home of Miss Mary A Lord in Charlotte. Mrs. Jack Kleimola of Olivet acted as chairman to open the discussion, speaking of the many fields ip which values are set, as per­ sonal, social, cultural, educational, etc. She sta­ ted that values are not innate, but are established by some form of learning. With Mrs. Elbert Carpenter of Vermontville, Mrs. Harold lauch, and Mrs. Lewis Young, both of Char­ lotte, as leaders, the members were divided into groups to discuss how values are transmitted, how conserved, and how protected. What values should be accepted and indorsed was a first consideration. When discussion results were reported, some i­ deas suggested were that values were caught by ex­ amples in the home, the school, the church, and through community organizations such as Scouts. The importance of the very impressionable early years was stressed. The teacher could: without in­ doctrination, present situations where real think­ ing can occur. It was the feeling that today’s youth does much more real thinking than he is given cred­ it for. One point received special stress: treat youths as young adults and really listen to what they say, and not "jump all over them" even if their ideas do dif­ fer from the values of the teacher. If the teacher has the respect of the students, what is said may make a much deeper inpression than is realized at the time. Teachers should interpret society to ad­ olescents, help them to find why they believe what they believe, and to see the many value al­ ternatives integral to successful life and effective decision making.

Professional Business DIRECTORY The new dumping hours for village residents will be Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 4 until 6 p. m. and on Sundays from noon until 5 p. m. These hours will take effect as of April 1st. Also we will be picking up trash set at the curb­ side through the next couple of months during the spring clean up. Anything that is to be picked up should be set at the curb in containers (which w e will leave when emptied) of a size that a man can handle. These pickups will be sporadic so it may set a day or so before we spot it. Please do not rake or place anything in the gutters, as it impairs not only the drainage, but also hampers the sweeping ana patching operations. We urge everyone to take all precautions to con­ tain their animals as we have had to pick up and dispose of over thirty dogs in the past three months. We do not like to have to dispose of animals, nor does your neighbor like having to contend with them, so please help us. If you have an animal that you want disposed of, contact Police Chief Langham, and we will try and help you. There has been a rash of fires lately which are the result of unattended trash burners and burning barrels which are inferior. This has caused unnec­ essary destruction as well as expense, and it is be­ ing considered that tickets might have to be issued in the future if they persist. Perhaps it may be bet­ ter to haul your papers etc, to the dump while the grass is so dry. MAPLE VALLEY Business Service Bookkeeping & Tax Service DALE H. DEVINE Nashville, Mich.

Its major change is in aims and long range progress and in addition to the sound or audio record­ ing neads manufactured here over the years , Michi­ gan Magnetics is expanding under the new program into more sophisticated fields of magneticrecording. For the computer industry they will be manufac­ turing many types of heads. This requires the intro­ duction of new types of materials and the develop­ ment ofskills and techniques. Michigan Magnetics will also manufacture heads for professional audio such as duplicator heads. Each day new equipment is arriving, and under their "Innovations Unlimited" program they hope that whatever can be imagined in their field they will be able to offer industry. Computer type and professional type audio heads require materials con­ siderably different than Michigan Magnetics has used in the past. Many materials are being manufactured according to die company’s own need* and specifi­ cations. Ferrite, a relatively new material, requires very special equipment. Released under the new program late this year was the first of the American- made stereo record/play Take Tom Rutherford’s Advise ... CHEER-UP and cassette head. Model 09CR2PX-4 cassette head fea­ tures laminated pole pieces for extended frequency response, premium the tiding for maximum cross talk rejections, and the exclusive Series 300glassfilled epoxy housing for unusual extended wear char­ acteristics. Samples, technical specifications, and performance curves of the new cassette head are now available. ... . The Innovations Unlimited program will consist of a series of "productgrams" that will be dispatched to a selected mailing list to inform potential users of new trend-setting products for the consumer, pro­ fessional, and industrial recorder industries. Five key men have been added to Michigan Mag­ netics in recent months. The new general manager is A. W. Anderson; design engineer, John Nelson; marketing director, Don Humphreys; manufacturing manager, Adair Fletcher, and manufacturing engin­ eer, Clayo Alspaugh. Vice president of engineering is Leo Page, and sales manager, Bernard L. Killinger. • Michigan Magnetics is a division of VSI (Vi-Shan) Corp, with headquarters in Pasadena, Calif. The president of VSI and of Michigan Magnetics is Ma­ son Phelps. Other divisions of rhe parent plant in­ clude Voi-Shan Manufacturing company with plants in California, Kansas and Washington; the Screw­ corp of California, and Tubing Seal company o f California.

Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency Future depends on youth Recently Governor Kerner has issued a report on American Racial Unrest which may lead us to anoth­ er crisis. It seems to me maybe it is a realistic ap­ praisal of the issue. However, we do realize in many instances we are enjoying the unprecedented £rosperity at this moment. However, the nation is icking its goal and mission. Individuals become more and more self- centered, greedy, lacking self-dicipline of its desires which influence and contaminate the American youth. I think regardless white or black or other races, we all have children. If we care about our nation we have to care about our youth. If we care about our youth, then we all have to work together to improve the fu­ ture of America's young generations. Regardless of the racial differences, we all feel strongly attached to our children. Even the lowest kind of animals care about their own younger ones; therefore, I think it is important for us to concen­ trate our efforts to give the affection and love and care to our younger generations regardless of their races instead of advocating the black power, the white power, the student power, the police power, because regardless whether we like it or not, the American youth belongs to America and they will represent America. It is not for the extremist to des­ troy our future.

Herbert Cox, Lansing Suburban area Manager. On the bulldozer is Mite Stefon of Grand Rapids. The Michigan Bell Telephone company broke ground March 18 for a new telephone central office to serve the Vermontville and Nashville areas. J. Herbert Cox and Ken McKee, Michigan Bell managers, said construction of the new office is the first step in an improvement program for the area that will cost more than $600, 000. The one-story building will measure 68 by 38 feet and contain about 2, 600 square feet of floor space. The site is at the southwest corner of Mason and Nashville roads. . Completion of the new office is scheduled for next October, Cox said. Following that, several months will be required for the installation of new central office switching equipment. The new fa­ cility will begin serving subscribers iu the early part of 1069, Cox said. Cox placed the total cost of the building, cen­ tral office equipment and associated outside plant facilities at $626,470, an outlay necessitated by continued growth in the area and a high level of telephone usage. The new switching system will provide faster and more convenient local and long distance service. Among the new features to be offered is Touch­ Tone service. With it users tap pushbuttons instead of spinning a conventional dial. Touch-Tone will be offered as an optional ser­ vice, Cox said. It will carry a slightly higher monthly charge than the regular dial service. The new building will be constructed of rein­ forced concrete with masonry block walls and brick veneer exterior. Its architectural design was done by Prine, Toshach, Spears, Architects and Engineers, of Saginaw. The general construction work will be done by r'w^- Ames, Kimball Company, of Grand Rapids.

Maybe be­ fore it became earrings or cuff links? If you have Petoskey Stone jewelry there was a time when it did exactly that. It sifted nourishment called plankton from the bottom of the sea through tentacles equipped with stinging cells. The Petoskey Stone. Michi­ gan's State Stone, is the com­ mon name for a variety of colony corals that lived in seas covering Michigan's Lower Peninsula about 350 million years ago during the Silurian and Devonian ages. Once composed of soft, living tissue called "polyp," the indi­ vidual coral (still visible in the hardened stone) consisted of a food intake opening surrounded by tentacles which waved on the sea bottom in search of food. The fine detail of the corals has been preserved to this day because the original material was replaced through a pro­ cess called petrifaction. Cal­ cite, silicon and other minerals replaced the original material ■ in a cell-by-cell process. Prof. Egbert G. Driscoll, a Wayne State University geolo­ gist, explains that glacial for­ mations millions of years later picked up the hardened corals and deposited them over a great portion of the Lower Peninsula, especially in Char­ levoix, Emmet, Cheboygan, Presque Isle and Alpena Coun­ ties. The common name Petos­ key Stone was coined because this fossil was distributed gen­ erously in the Petoskey area. ASSEMBLY OF GOD CHURCH Rev.

By ELMER E WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION ECONOMIC EXPANSION Michigan compares quite favorably with the na­ tional average in economic growth, and all indica­ tions point to continued expansion during the next decade. These are findings of the Michigan Office of Economic Expansion in its annual report for the year ended June 30, 1967. Growth accelerated in 1963 and has increased at a rate "well above the national average, " the re port discloses. Michigan excelled in family spend­ able income, total labor force, capital investments and Gross State Product. Population figures for 1966 show Michigan with an estimated 8. 5 million residents. Although the birth rate fell, Michigan added 117, 000 people that year. Many were attracted to the state because of the favorable economic climate, the OEE maintains. The auto industry accounted for 80, 000 new jobs in the four year period 1963-66, but other sources F I ■ h,, A Very Special Opportunity .7 to Get Top Value for Your Furniture Dollar! Look!

Majpr expansions in mining, chem­ ical, week, cement, electronic, furniture and oth­ er industries indicate that Michigan will continue to benefit from programmed growth in years to come. Defense contracts pushed military spending over the $1 billion mark, the first time since the Korean War that defense spending exceeded $600 million. During 1966, some 450 companies accounced plans to expand facilities, construct new sites or move new production facilities into the state. The OEE notes that a considerable amount of ex­ pansion was stimulated by legislative actioifand co­ operation between the state and industrialists. Legis­ lation has been enacted which assists industry to meet competition from other areas in the nation in production costs. Tax recognition was granted to in­ dustries which have excessive costs in tool and d e sign changeovers. A municipal bonding act now per­ mits communities to build and equip plants for lease to industry. Funds were provided for research which denotes economic advantages in various areas of the state. The growing Department of International Trade and Port Development and others serve to stimulate industrial expansion and economic growth. Cou­ pled with natural resources, technical know-how, and an ample supply of skilled labor, it is easy to see why Michigan industry has made such an im­ pressive record. "Dear Sir" Letters to legislators can have an important im­ pact on pending laws. Law-makers are generally sensitive to feelings of their constituents and many look to mail from "the folks back home" before de­ ciding whether to support legislation or oppose it. This is especially true if the issue is "hot. " Last year's Daylight Savings time and abortion bills are good examples. Letters ran so strongly against le­ galizing abortion that the bill never got out of com­ mittee. The volume of mail on a particular bills is very important. It is estimated that between 70, 000 and 100,000 letters have .already been received in sup­ port of the current aid to non-public schools issue. Letters opposing the legislation arrived later. While lawmakers do not have time to personally assess every bill, several thousand letters will assuredly bring a second and closer look at proposed legisla­ tion. Personal insults serve no purpose in letters and may cause a negative reaction, the lawmakers agree. Letters are usually more effective than telephone calls or telegrams. They should be personally writ­ ten. The best letter will point out exactly wnat ac­ tion is requested and why, in terms the lawmaker can understand and consider reasonable. COMPENSATION CLIMBS Concerned citizens may wonder what will happen to the state's unemployment benefit fund if a large number of workers are ever unemployed. Some 94, 000 more people were employed in Michigan in 1967 than in 1966. Nontheless, payments to the unemployed rose 80% in that one year, from $62 million to $111 million! The Michigan Employment Security Commission at­ tributes the increase to three major factors: liberal­ izing eligibility and length of pay periods: raising the ceiling of payments; cutbacks in automobile . production with accompanying layoffs. All three factors resulted in more claims for bene­ fits in '67 than in 1966. Most of the increase came from the Metropolitan Detroit area.

Available at these clinics are all the required routine immunizations including measles vaccine, and tuberculin tests. Due to a shortage of nursing personnel, it will be impossible to set up clinics around the county this spring for the pre-schoolers, so we urge those who wish the department to do these, to plan to attend one of the monthly clinics. Parents are urged to have this done early, as sev­ eral of the "shots” cannot be given at the same time, so it takes 2 or 3 months to complete the series. ___ The Barry county Health Department bolds a free immunization clinic for children in its office* in Pennock Hospital the first Monday each Month from 9-11 A.

Councilman Harold Norris stated that someone, who prefers to remain anonymous for the time being, is interested in providing a trailer park. _ This led to a lengthy discussion of the need to ex­ tend the sanitary sewer lines, raising prices in the water department to make the department self-sup­ porting, and other improvement* in the village. The storm sewers are due to be revamped, the streets are to be blacktopped and routine work in other areas was discussed. The council is to add some new street light* in the Fuller street area and on Sherman Street. The village election results on Monday were cer­ tified.

The dinner will begin at 7:30 p. m. and will be held at the Masonic Temple. Terry Edger will act as the Master of Ceremonies for the banquet. Patrick J. Duggan from Livonia, will be the spec­ ial speaker for this important occasion. Mr. Duggan is the president of the Michigan Jaycees. He is self employed as an attorney. He has been a Jay­ cee for six years. He was honored by his local Chapter in 1966, receiving the Jaycee of the Year award. In 1967 he received the Key Man award. Mr. Duggan served as director and president of the Livonia Jaycees and was State Vice President and National Director of the Michigan Jaycees. Local officers for the Maple Valley Jaycees in­ clude: president, Gary Foote; vice-presidents, Tim Smith and Ralph Kirk; secretary, Lee McMillen and treasurer, Jerry Johnson Membership in the Maple Valley Jaycees is open ~ to all young men between the ages of 21 through 35, regardless of occupational or professional class­ ification. Major purposes of the Jaycees are community improvement and personal development of its mem­ bers. Though it's still many weeks before Mom starts worrying about her Easter bonnet and the kids start itching for spring vacation, the staff at Fort Cus­ ter State Home u already trying to find a way to provide an Easter Basket for each of their thirteen hundred mentally retarded residents. "Although we will certainly be able to provide a special dinner, recreational activities and wor­ ship services for Easter Sunday" says R. G. Kenney, the Director of Community Relations and Volun­ teer Services, "we will need the help of outside or­ ganizations to make it a truly gala holiday. This has proven a very rewarding project for scnool groups as well as service and church groups in our surrounding communities. If anyone would like to help, we need thirteen-hundrea baskets with the goodies to pack into them. We are also in need of diabetic candy and gum for quite a few special cases. " Contributions should be sent to Mr. Kenney in care of the Community Relations Department, Fort Cus­ ter State Home, Box 248, Augusta, Michigan 49012 no later than April 3rd., so the staff can be sure to have them in time, to distribute on Easter Sunday.

Yost, formerly of Nash­ ville, was wounded in action northeast of Saigon, March 6 while serving with the 1st Engineer Battal­ ion, 1st Infantry Divfion. He is in a hospital in Vietnam suffering wounds to his right leg, according to a telegram received by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Merle Yost of 16 Grove­ land St., Battle Creek. Pfc. Yost's injuries, the telegram stated, were "not serious. "Yost enlisted in the Army before completing his schooling at Pennfield High School. He had earlier attended Maple Valley High School. He took basic training at Ft. Knox, Ky., and has been stationed in Vietnam since October. Observe wedding anniversaries MR. AND MRS. GEORGE VOGT, SR. Two Nashville couples are observing wedding an­ niversaries this month, and were given specialnonor when the Senior Citizens club met at the Veter­ ans of Foreign Wan hall last Wednesday for a 12:30 pm. dinner. The couples were Mr. and Mrs. George Vogt, Sr., 209 Cleveland St., who have been married 54 years, and Mr. and Mrs. William Martin who are marking their 51st anniversary. George Vogt and the former Clara Laude were married March 3, 1914, in Fowlerville. In 1919 they moved from Webberville to Dansville where they operated a Funeral Home for 45 years. Mr. Vogt served as village president for 15 years. Mr. Vogt is a life member of the Masonic lodge at Dansvule and the Vevay lodge of Mason. Mrs. Vogt is a life member of the Dansville Chapter No. 90, Order of Eastern Star. She is a member of the WSCS of the Nashville Methodist church and both have memberships in the Senior Citizens club. The couple has one son, George Vogt of Nash­ ville, and one grandson, Douglas of Lansing. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Martin are both lifelong resi­ dents of the Nashville area. The former Iva Rich and Mr. Martin were married March 28, 1917, in the parsonage of the Nashville Methodist church. They started housekeeping south of Nashville, and are presently living at 626 East Washington street. Mr. Martin for many yean worked at the Nash­ ville Co-Operative Elevator Association, at the Felpausch Food Center in both Nashville and H a s tings and for a time was employed by the Nashville schools. Mix. Martin is a Charter member of the Maple Grove Birthday Circle and is a member of the Philathea Class of the Nashville Methodist church. While enroute to Florida in the fall of 1966 Mr. Martin was seriously injured in an automobile ac­ cident and was hospitalized for some time in Co­ lumbus, Ind. Because of his illness, their daughter, Mrs. Kenneth (Maxine) Brower of Hastings, was un­ able to hold Open House on their 50th anniversary. Besides the daugf-ter, Mr. and Mrs. Martin have three grandchildren and a great-grandson. MR. AND MRS. WM. MARTIN ---News Photos �"AS I SEE IT” BACKSTREET BAROMETER Somehow, in the paper of two weeks ago we i­ dentified the queen candidates and got one girl's name in twice and left another out altogether. We identified Debbie Wright properly one time and then went on to identify Debbie Foote as Deb­ bie Wright. This explanation looks more confusing than the original caption. In any event, we are sorry for these our misdoings and hope that Debbie Foote will forgive us. Helen Ackett got a call from her boy Leonard who was at school at the time. He explained to his mother that he had- forgotten to take some equip­ ment to school and needed it. He asked her if she would bring it to him. It just happened that Helen didn't have a car at the time, but she decided that the walk to the school and back would be good exercise and very pleasant. So she started out. Before she got a half block from home a kind soul stopped to offer her a ride. She explained that she really wanted to walk and went on her way. Within a block and a half, another kind soul of­ fered her a ride and she went through the explana­ tion again. She nad another, another and another offer for rides and finally June Martin eame along and said she was going right up to the door of the school and that Helen might just as well ride. By that time Helen was so tired out from explaining that she ac­ cepted the ride. A person just can't get a bit of exercise these days, even if he tries. Carl Thrun sometimes drives the kindergarten bus from Maplewood and be says it is often quite a lot of fun. The other day a little boy got on the bus with his hands locked together on top of his head. As he walked down the aisle this little fellow's elbows were just the right height to cause consid­ erable consternation among the other passengers. They were, indeed, batting the others in the face as be walked to take his seat. "What is the matter, " Carl asked the little fel­ low, "Did you hurt your head? " "No, " the kindergartener answered, "I have my papers in my parka and I don't want them to fall out." *** ' ■’ . People who are curious about the big highway bus that was in town the other day can rest assured that all is well. The bus came to bring a bass viol to Halvarsons. It seems that the Stockholm Symphony is on tour and was in Lansing when one of the players broke his bass. The conductor called the people at Mich­ igan State University to ask where a bass could be repaired. They gave him Hallie's name and a d dress and the bass player, the bus driver and the broken instrument came in the big bus. It was repaired in time for the next concert. The other day Ralph Richardson sat down after lunch and dropped off in a cat-nap. He was awak­ ened by the telephone, which he answered. Gladys was not home at the time. The caller wanted to talk to Gladys and tried to communicate this information to Ralph, who still half asleep, really didn't know just what the conver iation was about. The caller, thinking he had the wrong number, finally asked whose residence he had contacted. "Just a minute, " Ralph said, and he then looked around on the telephone desk until he found an en­ velope addressed to uimself. He looked at the name on the envelope and answered, "This is the Richardsons." There seems to be a lot of concern lately about the morals of the younger generation.

One man thought he had hit upon it the o t h e r day when he made the smug statement that he thought morals had gone dpwn the drain because they will not let them teach the Bible in public schools, but they allow them to teach sex. (By teaching sex, I assume he. meant these courses in sex education they talk so much about these days.) His implication was that the Bible is the bastian of morals and that sex and the understanding' of it, somehow creates moral decay. I am not so sure I can go along with him on eith­ er count. The Bible can be a most damaging weapon in the hands of a person’who wishes to use it for im­ moral purposes. I once had a good Christian gen­ tleman, a minister (not from here, by the way), tell me that the Bible says that negros are an infer­ ior race and can never become the equal to whites. He had proof in the Bible, so he told me, that God had punished the negros by making them an infer­ ior race and that it was His will that they be treat­ ed as such. There is no doubt something in the book which would lead him to this interpretation. It is not a particularly charitable interpretation but he be­ lieved it. Not all Christian clergymen interpret the Bible in this way. The fact is though, that some can look on the surface and seem to see this in the Bi­ ble. This is not a very sophisticated way to read a book, particularly one that has lost something in the many translations through the years. We all tend to do this in life though. Take a meaningless outward sign and make of it a great truth. We have all heard these things, and some of us believe them. All Jews are good business men and tight with their money. All Negros like watermelon. All Indians get wild when they drink. All Irishmen like to fight. I think we tend to do the samq with the kids to­ day. Just as a broad statement we say they are all bad and lacking in moral values. Once we decide this, we make no further effort to understand them. As a matter of fact, many go out of their way to alienate them. The trouble is, we confuse morals with sometiling that has nothing to do with morals, even the good old fashioned Victorian morals with which many of us were indoctrinated. We make a big thing of a mode of dress. We make a moral issue of it, Down through the ages, each time there has been a major change in the fashion of dress, particularly of women, some jo­ kers who can't think further than was ever thought in the past, say that the women who wear such clothes are going to hell and are not quite moral. Women were arrested within the lifetime of many of us, because they showed their knees when they went swimming. The people of that time thought it very immoral to show one's knees. Now, even in those days, one who put any thought at all into the thing would have come to the conclusion that the showing of knees could or should have nothing to do with morals. The thing that they were fighting was change. In the past someone (Queen Victoria or some other leader of thought at the time) had said knees were immoral. This was accepted and change was resisted. For some reason any change is resisted, and often it is resisted on moral grounds. There were some who thought the automobile was not quite a moral .mode of transportation. Some sects still cling to this idea. I once talked to a man who insisted that street­ cars were a bad influence on the morals of people. We all intend to resist change. Some change is not good and should be resisted. Some change is good and should be accepted. Most change, par­ ticularly ir. hair styles and dress just does not make a bit of difference and should be ignored. We elders have been spinning our wheels a lot resisting change that just does not merit consider­ ation one way or the other. We have drawn up bat­ tle lines against the kids and are fighting just to fight. The issues are hardly worth fighting over, but we must fight just for tne fight. « People seem always willing to fight for little things that can't seem to make much difference, but often ignore the big ones. We draw up battle lines where they should not be. We talk about mor­ als. but we really don't concern ourselves with them. What we are interested in is conformation. A person can be most moral, even by our stand­ ards, but he is considered less than that because he does not hold the same religious, political, eco nomic beliefs that we do. On the other hand we have all known people who have been captains of industry, leaders in politics and spiritual leaden who have attained their ends by most immoral or perhaps a-moral means. These people are accept­ ed and honored. Sometimes things are not just as they seem. Sometimes the man with a beard is not a Commie, trying to overthrow the government, but is an or­ dinary citizen celebrating his town's centennial Sometimes the person protesting is not just a punk kid who is not willing to do his share, but is a thinking Christian who objects to something he considers nor quite moral. Some of the kids with the long hair and the short skirts are just kids, not Written by Paul P. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency Hippies and Red Guard Many Hippies in'this country have openly stated they wpuld like to have more freedom either in China or in Russia but preferably in Red’China. It seems to ra.e either they are lacking in knowledge of the Chinese Communist strict disciplinary measurment on the youth or totally trapped by the Com­ munist propaganda. If I understand the Hippies' philosophy correctly, they are disillusioned by the society's multiple moral standard or some unethi­ cal practices in some phases of our social activities. They may rebel against certain family discipline or restrictions, sometimes maybe because of the military obligations of out younger generations. However, as a middle-aged educator, 1 have visi­ ted many lands and observed carefully. I do not think any Hippies will be able to make a good Red Guard because the nature of the Re d Guards is aggressive, sadistic, and fanatically dis­ ciplined. Tney will die for any causes. Most of all, it is not the nature of love and faction like the Hip­ pies have intended to be; as extremist as Nazi SS Troops or Communist MVD's. This is the land of opportunity. We have much more freedom compared with other nations. We are not ashamed to admit we were wrong and we have the courage and conviction to pass a Civil Rights Law; however, there are the other nations such as India who still have the caste system. Russia and Great Britons still nave the racial dis­ crimination. In Red China, the minority groups such as Tibetans, Manchurians and Mongolians are subjected to the suppressions. I think these things show we do not try to find ex­ cuses for ourselves to satisfy our own moral and ethical standard. I admit we still have a long way to go in the field of justice and ethics. However, I do not feel we shall consider ourselves as not pro­ gressive as any other nations; in fact, we are much better than most other nations. NEWS^*/ Michael McMillen Airman Michael R.

THURSDAY, MARCH 28. 1968 �License Bureau moves Maple Syrup — a specialty crop The maple syrup season has been slow this seas­ on due to generally low temperatures. According to Eaton County AgrT Agent John Johnson. However, a good season is still possible with considerable frost remaining in the ground. Syrup production is becoming a more specialized business with the smaller sugarbush being discontin­ ued while producers with modern equipment are gradually expanding and improving management and promotion. In the Vermontville area many producers and businessmen have joined together to make this area well known nationally as a maple syrup production center. The tapping of trees in the village and the annual Festival promote both the community and maple syrup products. When visitors drive through the village it is very evident by the number of trees that are tapped that everyone participates. The Fes­ tival association supervises the tapping of the trees and the evaporation or processing ot the syrup. Rec­ ommended practices are used so that these trees have been tapped for many years without injury even though some may have three or four pints per tree. Normally trees 10-15 inches in diameter have one tap-hole. 15-20", two tap-holes, 20-25". 3 tap-holes and those trees 25" or larger in diameter may have 4 tap-holes. Good management is essen­ tial although sometimes it is difficult in a village where roads and driveways may be close to trees and cause compactions of the soil and possible in­ jury to the roots. It is always wise to see that a few young trees are started each year as old age will e­ ventually result in the thinning out of older, mature maple stands. Sugarbush operators through good management can harvest syrup annually and a timber crop every 5-10 years. This makes excellent use of land that may not be suited to a regular cropping program. Under Capitol Dome NEW SCHOOL AID FORMULA PROPOSED The House Education Committee last week pro­ posed a comprehensive revision of Michigan's State School aid formula, with the aim of providing more support for poorer school districts. The bill, incorporating the aid formula changes, also pro­ vides some $615 million in general fund payments to schools for 1968-69, about $5 million more than recommended in Governor Romney's budget. The bill will now be considered by the House A p propriations Committee, to see wnether the funds are available. School aid appropriations for the present fiscal year total some $555 million, about $60 million less than recommended for next year. Under the new bill, the present two-phase aid formula would be changed to a four-phase plan. The classifications would be determined on the ba­ sis of State Equalized Valuation of property per pu­ pil in the school district. Most of the increase in school aid would be di­ rected at districts with a low State Equalized Valu­ ation per school child. For example, a district with only $5,000 valuation per pupil wouldreceive an increase of over $50 per child. High valuation districts would receive a smaller increase. For in­ stance, a school district with a $30, 000 S. E. V. per pupil would receive an increase of $1. 92 per student.

Powell State Representative - 89th District One of the most significant improvements pro­ posed by the committee is a $6. 3 million "middle cities" proposal for inner-city school problems. This new money would be used primarUy to aid children of indigent families, minority groups, broken homes, sub-standard housing, dense school population, and low grade level achievement. House Republicans are encouraged that the new school aid bill has been reported out of committee this early in the session. This will provide for the proper extensive study by House members. Also, early final approval of the school aid measure will be beneficial to schools in establishing their pro­ grams for the coming school year.

The Post Office department regulations were pub­ lished Thursday. March 14 in the Federal Register. Implementing an amendment to the Federal Rev­ enue and Salary Act of 1967 aimed at deceptive solicitations, tne regulations published in the Reg­ ister require the following notice oh each solicita­ tion: "This is a solicitation for the order of goods and/or services and not a bill, invoice, or state­ ment of account due. You are under no obligation to make any payments on account of this offer un­ less you accept this offer. ” . The regulations also require that the warning be printed in type no smaller than 12-point in size, and that in no case shall it be less conspicuous than the boldest type used to print other words on the so­ licitations. The Department's General Counsel, Timothy J. May, expects the amendment to "dry up" a scheme which has defrauded thousands of mail patrons each year. One of the largest groups victimized by these solicitations are the businesses and other organiza­ tions listed in the classified sections, or Yellow Pa­ ges, of telephone directories. Mr. May said that "millions of solicitations which resemble IBM-type billing cards or invoices for legitimate directories are mailed to firms accord­ ing to their classification in the Yellow Pages. Overworked or careless office workers are tricked into remitting the $60 or $85 fee thinking it rep­ resents a bill which must be paid." Mr. May added that while directories are publish­ ed, they nave little or no advertising value. Usually only one copy is sent to each advertiser. While the primary problem involves die fake bus­ iness directory, the General Counsel has ruled, in response to an inquiry, that magazine subscription solicitations which resemble bills must also carry the prescribed warning. Mt. May said, "There is no reason to conclude that Congress intended less pro­ tection from deception in the case of (magazine) Spring clean-up help offered by street dept.

" Mr. May said,"The Department will need the co­ operation of businessmen and others if we are to ef­ fectively enforce the new regulations. " Those re­ ceiving solicitations designed to/resemble bills which do not cany the warning are asked to forward them to the Mailability Division, Office of the General Counsel, Post Office Department, Washington, D.C. 20260.

They stripped down to their underwear and really enjoyed them­ selves. Bob said that he can see a point on the early sea sou. Down there one has to go this early to beat the mosquitoes.

Senior Trip In loving memory of our beloved son and brother, Ronny Michael Stambaugh, who was taken from us so suddenly one year ago, April 1. One long sad year ago today Another we loved was called away. The blow was hard, the shock severe, We never thought his death so near. Only those who have lost can tell The pain of parting without farewell. The sudden way you had to die, We shall always remember and wonder why. Sadly missed by Mom and Dad, Gary and Diane 44c Card of Thanks Thank you each and every one of my friends, the Cloverleaf Club, Extension Club and S.A.C.

Each was for exactly $35.00 and in each case a young girl wbo appeared to be in her early 20's cashed the checks. The local establishments where checks have been cashed, and always after a small purchase was made, were Kelley’s 6 and 10 store, Lee’s Cut Rate, Lathrop’s Radio & TV store and the Douse Drag store, owned and operated by John Simon. Chief tarwham called the Michigan State Police in Lansing for assistance. Nashville merchants have apparently been caught in a large operation involv­ ing many persons and many thousands of dntlan throughout Michigan and ocher states. Some of the business men, or their clerks, feel they can iden­ tify the person cashing the bogus checks la Nash- �i BACKSTREET BAROMETER by john boughton Maple Valley News Nashville News - & Vermontville Echo In the Lord Snowden photo essay on aging one of the par­ ticipants said that one of the most upsetting thing about growing older was to see friends and contemporaries die. I know just what the man was talking about. The death of Bob Partridge came as a particular blow to me. Bob was one of the first people we met when w e came to Nashville and while we were not big buddies he of­ ten came in to talk and we often passed the time of day on the street. Bob will be greatly missed around Nashville. The Maple Valley area has a new service organization which I predict will do great things. • A bunch of young fellows got together and organized a local chapter of the national Jaycees. The group was organ­ ized with die help of the chapter at Grand ledge. These young fellows seems to have a lot of zip, and they already have some projects on the fire. They are not afraid to take a stand on local issues, and indeed they go out of their way to do so. There are some who are not too happy over the thought of a new service organization in town. Some, though, will re­ sist change of any sort. I have neard the thought expressed that the new group ; will only make it more difficult for the existing groups to make a go of it. The same people who say this are the ones who say there is no need to build new housing in town, be­ cause there is plenty of existing old houses. In any event, I would like to say "Welcome aboard, ” to the Jaycees. / ■ . NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publications, Inc.

Lawrence Carpenter took over the Citgo station here in town and just a couple of days later he was hit by a car on the street and is still in the hospital It is a particularly tough way to start a business. We wish him a speedy recovery. «•*«* It is that time of year. The weather has warmed up more than somewhat and the syrup people have pulled the sap buckets. The kids are counting the days until school is out for spring vacation. The frogs are singing in the swamps. The Our neighbor's cat. Whiskers, got into a bit of other day my car was full of flies.

He is not very old—not much more than a kitten. Jim Knoll got the ladder and got Whiskers out of My reaction was so satisfactory that she used the same April Fool on everyone she saw that day. The theory, no doubt is, his tree. stick with a going thing. A few days later Whiskers got into an argument with another cat and again he took to the tree. This time Delores Knoll got him out. Whiskers likes that tree. George Wilson sent me the following clipping. A reporter from a big city newspaper stoppeoto visit a friend who ran a country weekly. He asked the friend: "How can you keep up your circulation in a town where everyone already knows what everyone else is doing?" The editor grinned. "They know what every­ one's doing, all right, but they read the paper to see who's been caught at it." ”AS I SEE IT” Written by Paul P. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency Breakdown of Central Control During the Vietnam crisis, many scholars in As­ ian affairs overlooked one basic element why the recent North Vietnamese offensive is so strong it is almon beyond the comprehension of American mil­ itary experts. The reason for this savage attack was due to the Chinese Communists* pledged all-out military assistance at this time. At the present time, there are more than 250,000 Chinese military advisors and technicians in North Vietnam to make sure there will be no peace.in the Far East unless the United States totally with­ draw from South Vietnam. Chinese Communists suf­ fered a most severe blow during the year 1967 with her self-instigated Red Guard movement. The Red Guard movement has disrupted social economic growth and stability of Red China. The Red Guard has condemned all Chinese Com­ munists who have helped Mao-Tseng Tung to es­ tablish his empire for the last 40 years. Some Field Marshals have saved Mao-Tseng rung's personal life; however, due to the petty jealousy of Madam Mao-Tseng Tung (his official fourth wife) she used poisonous statements to try to alienate these found­ ing members of the Communist Party in China. Such incidents as the Red Guard sentenced the son of Chinese Communist Foreign Minister ChenY i to death and still ask Chen-Y1 to be loyal to the Party and Chairman Mao It is not until now that of the total 28 provinces, these are only 6 provinces still loyal to the Central Government. The suppression and atrocity and sacrifices of human lives has made the local government rebel /Against the Central Government. This is perfect evidence of Chinese Communists' total break-down of its central administrative structure; now returns China to provincial war-lord type of existence. In order for Chairman Mao-Tseng Tung to save face, be has stirred up tremendous difficulties in Macao. Hong Kong, and now the offensive move­ ment in Vietnam and the Pueblo case ip South Korean water. It is my observation Chairman MaoTseng Tung is an old tyrant. He baa pledged to himself to regain his central control regardless of the methods of suppression, even commit his fourth wife to a mental inKitution, remove his comrades in arms, and even promised the North Vietnamese he will use the nuclear weapons to as­ sist the Noah Vietnamese aggression in South Viet­ nam. THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1968 �Enthusiasm light at local annual meetings The enthusiasm of the old town meeting days seems to have vanished. At least in the Nashville and Vermontville areas. Vermontville, Maple Grove and Castleton town­ ships held their annual meetings on Saturday, and in each case only a couple of interested citizens attended, along with the township officials. The Vermontville township meeting was held in the Opera House. The annual report was read by die Clerk, Mrs. Leta Nagle, the treasurer's report S' Mrs. Jane Thrun, ana the library report by Mrs. ildred Allen. The final budget figures will be re­ leased this week. Quite probably salaries will be increased slightly. A new fire bam is to be con­ structed, which will mean more money will be needed in the township, and a new fire truck re­ cently arrived. The Saturday meeting was presided over by the township supervisor, Ben Siple. The yearly budget in Maple Grove township was slightly higher this year than last. The new budget asks for $21, 848 and the balance sheet shows there was $6,447. 58 left from this past year's expendi­ tures. Anticipated receipts for the coming year were $21, 518 and the expected balance at the end of this year is anticipated at $3, 018. Supervisor William Schantz said the board voted to ask for one mill for fire fund and maintenance be placed on the ballot for the primary election scheduled for August 6. Based on the assessed valuation figure of $2, 283, 970 this will bring in $2, 283 if the pro­ posal is carried. The assessed valuation figure shows an increase of approximately $30,000 over last year's $2, 251,000 figure. In other business the board increased the supervisor's salary from $1,075 to $1, 500; the clerk's from $800 to $1, 000; the treasurer's from $900 to $1,225 and each trustee will receive $275 instead of the $200 given this past year. 68-69 Budget set The budget for the village of Nashville for the 1968-69 year has been set at $112, 862.00 as c o m pared with last year's figure of $105,7381 00. Comparing the anticipated receipts for the new year as compared with last year the figures read: (the first figure is the new year, and second, last year). Incidental fund, $48,525. 00 and $43, 613. 00; Highway fund. $32,235. 00 and $29, 000. 00. Recerving fund, $15, 500. 00 and $18, 500. 00. Sewer charge, $12.000.00 and $11, 725. 00. Two-mill debt service, $4, 600. 00 and $2, 900.00. Anticipated expenditures for the year, and a com­ parison, read: Incidental fund, $14, 899.00 and $11,094.00. Sanitation department, $11, 000. 00 and $9, 400. 00; Fire board, $2,100. 00 and$1,750.00 police department, $11,145. 00 and $11,158. 00; parks, $500.00 and $600. 00; library, $500.00 and $600. 00; fuel and lights, $5, 000. 00 and $5, 000.00; street department, $36, 900. 00 and $33, 350. 00;sewer bond fund, $15, 191. 00 and $18,451. 00 and wa­ ter department. $15, 625. 00 and $14, 335. 00. OBITUARIES Robert Tartridge At the Castleton township meeting, conducted by Supervisor Russell Mead, the financial statement was reviewed and the regular annual reports were given. The 1968-69 budget was set at approximate­ ly $29, 000. The total equalized valuation for the township this year is $5, 200, 000 which is approxi­ mately $40, 000 higher than last year. In other bus­ iness me ambulance service setup was again r e viewed, it was reported that the two and threequarters of blacktop on the Center Road has been completed, and considerable time was devoted to the discussion of junk cars. An attempt, on a town­ ship level, to get rid of the 20 or 25 junk cars throughout the township, has not been too success­ ful. Other areas in Barry county are faced with the same problem, and according to Supervisor Mead, the problem is to be attacked from a county angle.

BriggsPerntonlville Hardware Phono 259-7231 March 25, 1968 Mr. Editor: The article in connection with the picture in the "last edition of the Maple Valley News of the ground breaking ceremony for the new Michigan BellTelepbone building, said that the completion of this project would improve the service in the Vermont­ ville-Nashville area. One Improvement would be the push-button system to replace the old dial sys­ tem. «. My question now is; How about improving the OLD system, in the rural areas, of 8 party lines ?It seems to me, and I’m sure many other Michigan Bell Telephone faithful customers who live outside of the cities, towns, and small villages, who, through necessity, have to contend with this OLD system, would be yen' delighted to have some of the dollars set aside for improvements used to make our lines less congested. The push-botton plan is only going to be another irritation because we have to be able to get the dial tone before we can possibly do any diali no or pusiting of buttons. The members of my family try to be co-operative and I am very thankful that the other seven (rm­ flies on our telephone line do too. It would be a very serious situation if we couldn't be neighborly ana understanding concerning the use of an Item that is no longer considered a luxury. We siDcexely appreciate the service we do a 1 ready receive, but would be much better satisfied with a little more modernization of the rural tele­ phone system. Yes, I agree, some new things have been instituted since we moved here in 1946, but there is Kill room for a lot more. Thank you for letting me "blow my suck. * Robert W.

Letter to the Editor Nashville News Nashville, Mich. Hayes-Green-Beach Hospital Charlotte, Mich, , April 1. 1968 Dear Editor; I am writing in concern of an article you had in your paper of March 28th about James Erwin and Al­ bert Kienutske. The only accident in the case was that the poor dog got loose. I personally know that the dog was on a short chain inside a high fence. How much more can you fasten a dog up? Albert and Karla both work. The dog would not have hurt anyone; be was just bis. Albert went up to ask Erwin al>out the dog and he . told Albert to get off his property and when Albert turned around, Erwin grabbed him by the shoulder and turned him abound and knocked him in the mouth. Albert had 19 stitches in his lip and a tooth knocked out. I think the village of Nashville should get Erwin off a position where be has to face the public. I personally know that Albert Kienutske is not a fighter and wouldn't hurt anyone. He has never been a fighter before. I know because I am his mother. I hope the public gets to see this. Thank you, Mrs. Hubert Decker A star has fallen, a page of tragedy has been written again since the death of the Late President John F. Kennedy. During the last two decades, I have traveled around the globe and visited many nations. It seems to me Reverend Martin Luther King is a shining example of this great nation; es­ pecially since after the Ute President Kennedy’s election, Martin Luther King has become a house­ hold word. • A nation like the United States has permitted a minority group leader to travel, to speak of protest in white communities with full freedom and liber­ ty, federal troops to protect him, crowds cheering him while only the extremists have hated him. The Black Power leaders called him Uncle Tom, a man who had sold out the Negro race. The KKK mem­ bers had made up their minds to get him one way or the other. Only people with sanity and con­ science, people who believed in constitutional rights and remembered the ideals of the American Revolution have applauded him. I did not agree with everything Martin Luther King had done; however, it is impossible for any­ one to believe the extremists in this country have the power to eliminate and exterminate the moder­ ate civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King in such a brutal, lawless manner. We realize the fed­ eral government is not able to protect all innocent people. However, it is inconceivable to have such a huge budget as that of the FBI and still let KKK and Black Power elements run wild in this country. I am sure the death of the late President Kennedy was celebrated by the Chinese communists as well as the extremist right groups in this country. No doubt, extreme right groups as well as the hardcore of the extreme left wingers, will have their field day again during this tragedy. Martin Luther King was a man with courage who had continuously proclaimed to the world that the greatest nation on this earth was the United States of America, even as he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. He said he was so proud to be an American, and he wished to cariy his deep convic­ tion to all the comers of the world. Many vicious attack upon him by extreme groups have question­ ed his sanity, political affiliations, academic de­ grees; some even have questioned his religious faith. However, Martin Luther King has stood high in his­ tory because he believed in Americanism. He did not ask for separation between the white and Negro; he did not hate his fellow Americans; he was wiUingto risk his own life to save this restless nation. The lawless shall not be encouraged; the voice of liberty and freedom will not be suppressed if we continue to believe in our government as a consti­ tutional republic. BACKSTREET BAROMETER We have lived through another weekend of na­ tional sorrow and shame. The murder at Martin Luther King rests heavily upon the shoulders of all of us. because to a de­ gree, we are all responsible. We are responsible because we ignored con­ ditions or condoned conditions. Some are responsi­ ble bedause we simply did nothing. Not only are we responsible through our ignor­ ance and indifference, some of us are responsible through actual fostering of the conditions and feel­ ings that brought about the murder. The mar. ofpeace, of non-violence, died a vio­ lent death, and this is the way life sometimes is. The nation mourned the death of the man of peace because he was known and because his work was so well known. Perhaps at the same time Dr. King died, several George Vogt named Cen tennial chairman A meeting was held on Thursday evening April 4, at the Castleton Township Hall for formulating plana for the Nashville Centennial to be held in 1969. The meeting was conducted by George Vogt, president of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce and was attended by approximately 50 persons. Members from various churchy clubs and organi­ zations from the community attended the meeting. Mr. Vogt expressed his appreciation for the interest and enthusiasm shown. George Vogt was named chairman of the co m mittee for the Centennial and Mu. Nelson Brumm will assist as Secretary. A second meeting will be held May 2 at 8:00 p. m. in the Castleton Township Hall. Various representatives from the clubs and groups are to attend this meeting and it is hoped mat some committees will be named at this time. In the preliminary discussion at Thursday's meet­ ing. those attending seemed to feel that a three day celebration, held perhaps some time in June would be most suitable for a Centennial observance. The date was not definitely set at this time. Those who are interested are urged to attend the May 2nd meeting and make whatever siMgestiore they may like to the {dawning of the CentenniaL ’ This summer-Western Michigan University's De­ partment of Music will become the first in the U­ nited States to offer a Composer's Seminar for high school students interested in music composition. The Seminar has grown out of the department's recognition that the increasing numbers of high school students interested in composition seldom find music programs designed specifically for their needs. The Composer's Seminar, July 7 through July 20, is planned as a stimulus to the young student composer and as an opportunity to study with an experienced composer. The two-week session will include intensive work in composition, orchestration, and contem­ porary music literature. Toward the end of the session, there will be an opportunity for perfor­ mance of selected scores by the seminar composers. High school students interested in receiving more information should write to Composer's Seminar, Department of Music. Western Michigan Universi­ ty, Kalamazoo. Michigan 49001.

Right now, even as we are talking about discussions a­ round a peace table with our enemies, we continue to bomb military targets. How many non-military individuals might be involved in this bombing is anyone’s guess. How many of these individuals are advocates of non-violence and peace is also any­ one's guess. There is little doubt that most of them are just simple people who really don't know what is going on. Most'te them are people so poor that their concern is just with feeding weir families. Most of them are people who have been on the move trying to keep out of the way of armies for yean. As a nation we are spending billions to continue a war and to kill people half-way around the world. As a nation we have refused to spend even a frac­ tion of the amount the war costs on removing the conditions that lead to the death of Martin Luther KiJ^iybe we can rally around Dr. King's death and all of us work toward a great non- violent revolu­ tion dedicated to the understanding of our fallow men and to bringing all men out of the ghetto and giving all men the dignity human beings deserve. If we can go about this non-violent revolution with half the zeal we generate for violence, if we spend a fraction of the money on this non-violent war that we spend for materials of destruction, we can have victory within the Uves of all of us. Maybe the events of the past week will point up the need to continue the work of Dr. King in bls way. Maybe now we can all get down to the busi­ ness of peace and of helping our fellow man.

They still have to make the acquaintance of many Nashville persons, but to those who have had the opportunity to be entertained in their home, it is an experience long to be remembered. Their furnishings include articles from around the world. They have a collection of more than 300 paintings, their dishes and silver come from fara­ way places which makes one scratch his head in an attempt to locate quickly, and they have a collec­ tion of books that would do justice to a sizeable li­ brary. One can spend hours fascinated by a number of exquisite models Mr. West has made. The mod­ els include Protestant and Catholic altars, a threedimension Masonic plaque and many animals. They also have numerous Indian treasures. A thumbnail sketch of their lives reads like a story book. Lnor Onontiyoh was born in Plainwell, the daughter of a Mohawk Indian. Dr. Peter Onon­ tiyoh who had married Lilie B. Steele, a patient of his. Lnor attended Plainwell schools and then en­ rolled at Kalamazoo college. In extra curricular activities she attended a dance school, became as­ sistant to the manager, Ruth Eaton, and later taught dancing to students in Plainwell, Battle Creekjackson, Kalamazoo and Allegan. Meanwhile Lawrence West, a native of New York City, had left home at the age of 13, and his yen to ’’go to sea" had taken him around the world sev­ en and a half times. A chain of circumstances brought both of these young persons to Chicago, HL , and the couple met in the home of mutual friends at a small party. Seven hours later Lawrence had asked Lnor to be­ come his wife, and three days later they were mar­ ried. Eventually the couple went east where she a c cepted a position with the Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. Twenty years later, in 1965, she retired as Administrative Assistant to the Director. Mr. West was employed by the Smithsonian In­ stitution in Washington, D. C. where he specialized in light effects for the exhibits and worked as pre­ ventative maintainence man in all of the buildings. Prior to his work at the Institution he was employed in the sub-station of the Navy building which, a­ mong other things, supplied power for the White House and Navy communications. In all, he was employed 24 years by the government, and much of his work was classified. The Wests were involved in a serious automobile accident in 1963 and be­ cause of his injuries be was forced to take an early retirement in 1964. Having married an Indian Mr. West became deep­ ly concerned with the problems of the Red man and government attitudes toward them. On occasion he has stepped in to provide assistance. Each year the Wests vuit the Indian Reservation in Canada, and during the Border Crossing ceremony held in Can­ ada in 1959, Mr. West was adopted into the Turtle Clan of the Mohawk tribe of the Iroquois, a con­ federation consisting of the Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, Cayugas, Senacas and Tuscaroras. The annual Border Crossing ceremony is held alternate­ ly in Canada and the United States to keep alive the Indian's right to cross the border freely. The Wests will again- visit the reservation this summer, where Mrs. West went with her parents for the first time when she .was 14 yean old. Mr. West's great-great-great-grandfather, Ben­ jamin West, the painter, before his death, gavehis museum to Joseph Brant (bom Thyendanegea), the Mohawk Indian chief who served with the British army in the American Revolution. One of Benja­ min West's paintings, "Sir Guy Johnson", hangs in the National Art Gallery in Washington, and in the background is Joseph Brant, who is a distant rela­ tive of Mrs. West. Back in 1937, when the Wests were living in Plain­ well, Mr. West was initiated into the Masonic order there. He bolds membership in the Blue Lodge in Virginia, is a member of all York Rite bodies, all Scottish bodies and a member of the Royal Order of Scotland. For many yean Mr. West has given lec­ tures in several states before various Masonic orders on Ans and Crafts. He is well versed in 53 classifi­ cations, and for two yean taught children's groups. --Photo by Gladys Richardson Mr. and Mrs. West have three sons, two of whom will leave shortly for Vietnam, one daughter and six grandchildren. The two sons slated for Vietnam are Sedgrick Onontiyoh West of Milton, Fla.. and Lawrence Onontiyoh West of Charleston, South Car- olina, both Chief Petty officers in the Navy. Their other son is Leon Onontiyoh West of Marietta, Ga., and the daughter is Mrs. Sidonie Bateman of Wash­ ington. D. C. Legal State of Michigan, Probate Court for the County of Barry.

Main street in Ver.montville. A derailment of a Penn Central freight train ne­ cessitated the replacement of 400 foot of new track near Vermontville and the repair of an additional 800 foot of track. Thirteen can of the train were derailed at about 3:30 a. m. just west of the Vermontville crossing. If appeared that one truck of a car somewhere . near the middle of the train left the track some­ where near Chester and was off the tr*ck until it hit a frog just west of the Citizens Elevator in Ver­ montville. At that time the'truck must have turned sideways causing the derailment. Thirteen can left the track and several feet of roadway was tom up by the accident. Workmen wcrked around the clock to repair the right-of-way and trains were again moving over the track the next day. No one was hurt in the accident. According to Eaton County Sheriff’s officers, Ken­ neth was walking with two companions about one tenth of a mile north of the Penn Central Railroad tracks when he was struck by a car driven by Darien Lee Graham, 21, of Vermontville Highway. The accident occurred about 11:30 p. m. Funeral services for Kenneth were held from the Grace Lutheran Church in Hastings, on Monday. He is a former resident of Nashville and he attended Maple Valley school and worked at Plycoma Ven­ eer Co. Kenneth is survived by his mother, Mrs. James Evans of the Barry Trailer Park. In addition to ills mother, he is survived by his step-father, a half­ brother, Gary Landis of Woodland and three halfs liters, Sharon Landis of Woodland and Julia and Tanice, both at home. �AS I SEE IT News Photos My next door neighbor, Jerry Shoup, is at it a­ gain. Every once-in-a-while Jerry starts on a project that keeps the entire neighborhood interested for days. . Right now Jerry is in the process of carving the bead of an Indian, or something on the stub of a tree which died last year. Maybe be is ' carving a totum-pole, I don't know. I do know he is doing a good job of it and it is stop­ ping traffic like mad. Shoups had this upside-down tree in their yard and it just up and died last summer. Jetty cut the branches off the tree but left the stub standing (the trunk of the tree). Last Saturday he got busy with a chisel and after he had chippea away for a few minutes he had the stan of a good, recognizable face. He has worked off-and-on since then and I can see that he is going to have a real work of art in his yard. As Jerry sits out in his yard working away at his tiki or totum or whatever it is called, the neighbors stand around and offer suggestions as to how the darn thing should be done. Jerry listens to the sug­ gestions and then does it the way be wants to any­ way. One stranger driving past in his car stopped to watch for a while. A number of the neighborhood dogs have sat and watched Jerry and they just can't believe what they are seeing, We have a bunch of confused dogs around there now. Now that I think of it, some of the trees look a bit worried since Jerry started his latest project. Anyway, Jerry gets my vote of confidence for helping beautify the neighborhood. I wish he would put in a swimming pooL That would be a fine project. MAPLE VALLEY NEWS Nashville News & Vermontville Echo NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publications, Inc.

Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien, Publishing Agency The joy of teaching Approximately ten years ago when I was thirty years old, one of my children asked me, "What is the happiest thing an individual is able to do?" During that time, my answer was, "The happiest thing on earth is giving. " It was a phrase I borrow­ ed from the United Community Fund Drive. How­ ever, after some deep thinking, I realized I had no fortune to give and it is too drastic to give my life to someone, and frankly my physical condition was too weak, really, to contribute any kind of success even if I wanted to give it to someone. However, I feel if I devote my time and energy to entering the teaching field, I always think to teach is not only to give the student the facts and figures for them to memorize, but to inspire them, encourage them, and sometimes to console them. To educate is not merely for the student to learn the historical facts and business techniques, but to develop their personality, utilize their potential and sometimes even tell them how good they are and the result is overwhelmingly successfuL Some methods I have used such as to encourage the slowlearning student is to tell them the individuals' mental capabilities are not equal, just like the big business has big capital and the small business has small capitaL When you have limited capital, you just have to work harder. The most important element in working harder is self-discipline.There­ fore, from time to time we have regular 7:00 a. m. sessions for the students to realize in reality that the individual who is willing to work harder, the result is always good. Another method we use is for the student to hear the industrial leaden who speak to them. Most of these leaders are humble and modest even with tremendous business success. The result is usually that the student realizes that to be a business leader, be does not have to throw his weight around to impress the individuat The real business leaden are hard-working individuals, knowledgable, modest and self-disciplined. The third method I have tried is to assist the students to improve their family relations, to inform the parents how well the student has behaved in class and how much the student has utilized his ability and their appreciation to the parents in sacrificing the family living standard to send the student to college. This method has achieved tremendous success for the family relatiom. It seems to me in many cases this helps to make die parents feel proud Of their children and for the student to feel obligated to maintain a high academic level be­ cause of the confidence me teacher ano the parents have placed on their shoulders. Therefore, as a teacher, I do not have a fortune to give away, but for giving my time and energy in □eveloping students' talent and moral and ethical itandard is a giving and thte js one of the morf joyful things an individual can do. When I feel teaching is not limited to the formal(teachine, I think we Sin inspire our neighboa* children? ire can inspire our Junior execntivea, we can heto our local high school stnnrnts, or we can participate In many creswmwrfty a^its which in ooe form or the ottafe a way of 7 Her name is Mickey and me is 6 yean old.

Girl Scout news Twenty four girls of troop #313 and five leaden — returned Tuesday from a two-day camping trip at Wacousta Girl Scout camp. Mill Run cottage is a large log cabin structure with a fireplace, an up­ stair sleeping balcony, a small kitchen with a wood stove, and all water comes from a cold flowing well just outside. In fact, all the plumbing is outside. Everyone slept in sleeping bags and ate from mess kits, and all the cooking was done over campfires. Before each meal the six patrols of 4 girls each had to draw from a Kaper bucket to see what job they would get. The chores included, getting water, fire­ wood, the fire builden, the cooks, dishwashers and kitchen and dining room clean up. Each girl had to do her own individual dishes after each meal and then the dunk bags were hung on the line to dry till next meal. For some reason food tastes great in the camp and everyone seemed to have a hearty appetite in clean­ ing up the camp stew, bread twists, brownies, beans and sloppy joe*. Activities included Flag ceremonies, a tree find­ ing hike, first aid lessons, a Scouts own ceremony, a Montagram hunt, a Investiture ceremony when three new girls officially became scouts, a scaven­ ger hunt for unusual items, and lots of practice with knots and knives. Some free time was allowed for games, wandering, and picture taking. The last night a pantomime Vaudeville act was put on for the girls at bedtime by the leaders. Each girl tried to keep her belongings together in a duffle bag and the only things in the lost ana found list were a stray sock, a fork and a washcloth, which isn't bad considering the truck load of equip­ ment that was taken. When it was time to leave, the girls drew for Ka­ per jobs again and this time the chores were a little harder like sweeping, mopping, outside clean-up of the fire rings and grounds, filling the wood boxes and scrubbing the toilets. They left the area in bet­ ter shape than they found it which is one of the Girl Scout's unwritten laws. Some of the girls had already earned their Troop Camper badge last year while 13 more girls have ■led for it with the completion of mis camping : rest of the month me girls will be busy with Syrup Festival activities such as wrapping the silver for the American Legion (their sponsors) tor the pan­ cake eating and parade preparations, marching and a float to enter.

Mrs. MacDonald gave a few interesting remarks about the speaker, Mrs. Milton Lamb, who was well known to many of the club members. She had been a former teacher and principal of the Vermontville school. Mrs. Lamb is now Guidance Director of Okemos high school. In 1966 and 1967, the National Honor Society wanted a service project. So with Mrs. Lamb and a few teachers, thirty in all, they traveled to Stink­ ing Creek, Kentucky, a small community where two women had formed a small mission center, Lend a Hand. They taught the women to can and dry vegetables ana fruit. They also taught them a­ bout nutrition, sewing and other basic skills. They built a small chapel where they held ser­ vices and Sunday School for the children. The students who participated helped clean lawns, planted pine trees, planted and cared for gardens, gave small programs, helped with church and Sun­ day school, cared for children and many other tasks. In return they had a better knowledge of condi­ tions in Appalachia than from books. Mrs. Lamb showed slides of this program with her talk which were most interesting to everyone. After the program, the group went to'the Cafeter­ ia where punch, tea, and cake* were served. The table and decorated cake* were of blue and white, the senior class colors. The tea committee was made up of Mrs. Edith Benedict, Mrs. Leta Nagle, Ma Winnie Mill* and Mn. Kay Marsh, Vermontville club members, and Mr*. George Vogt, Mr*.

Leon Ackett spoke about the plans for the Fire­ men's Homecoming celebration in June and the Chamber voted to make a $300 donation toward the Ox Roast. Max Kelley, as chairman of the Re- Women’s groups will vote on merger On Thursday, April 25, the Woman's Society of Christian Service and the Women's Society of world Service of the three United Methodist Churches in Nashville and Barryville will vote on the proposed merger of the women's societies. Although the General Uniting Conference that forms the United Methodist Church takes place in Dallas, Texas on April 23, Michigan Conferences will not be officially merged in aspects of adminis­ tration until June, 1969, and local churches will not merge until laymen decide to do so. Both the now Evangelical United Brethren and Methodist women's societies have been informed, however, that officers should be elected before June 1. to begin terms in September. Therefore, both ex­ ecutive committees felt this an ideal time to bring to a vote any decisions on merging the local socie­ ties, so that, if approved, elections could be made accordingly and without reversal , Whereas an invitation had already been given to the Women's Society of World Service to attend the April 25 meeting of the Woman's Society of Christ­ ian Service, it was recommended that this time also serve for this vote on union of the two sociietes. Each society will cast and count ballots separately, and provision will be made for absentee balloting In the event that such union is approved, a nomin­ ating committee of two women from each church will De named to prepare a ballot of officers. This meeting will be held at 1 p. m. at the Uni­ ted Methodist Church, comer of State and Washing­ ton, beginning with a carry-in luncheon. Mrs. A. F. Welch will present the program in the form of a book review. Used clothing needed Mrs. William Hamm has requested that good used clothing be saved for use by the Helping Hands group.

The village officials want it made clear that no alleys have been abandoned and no special privileges nave been granted either. It has been necessary to allow some parking in alleys since the "No Parking from 2 to 6 am' has been enforced as some individuals simply have no other place to park. However, no car can be parked over a 48-hour period at any one time. The alleys are presently used for drive-through areas for the collection of garbage, for the fire department and the police. Because of high snow removal costs, the village has not plowea out the alleys for the past two winters. Tne millage for the village was set at 13.2 mills. This includes 8.8 mills for the general fund and 4.4 for highways. The village is still looking for someone to take over the duties of Zoning Administrator.

The visiting hours shall be from 2:30 p. m. to 4:30 p. m. ana 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p. m. These regulations have been put into ’ effect at the request of patients, medical staff mem­ bers, and in the interests of good patient care. The average stay for a mother in the Maternity Ward is approximately four days, and the Hospital staff feels that the new mother is entitled to a good rest during these four days before returning to the bomemaldng chores with a new child. Visitors should remember that only two visitor* per patient are allowed in the patient rooms at any one time. This regulation applies to all hospital pa­ tients as well as maternity patients.

The youngster looked at Larson and remarked, "You already have had a hair cut. " Mrs. Beystrum says she thinks the child is a diplo­ mat in the making. BACKSTREET BAROMETER by john boughton John Simon was talking about the days, way back when he was going to school, when he had the absolute tops in absent minded professors. John said this fellow taught chemistry and that he would come to classes with non matching shoes on or with trousers that did not match his jacket. He would forget where he left things and forget in the middle of a lecture just what he was talking about. For a final exam in chemistry this prof gave each member of the class a substance which he was sup­ posed to run through a series of tests and come up with the answer as to just what it was. John said that he went through his procedure and took the answer to the professor who immediately looked on a sheet of paper and shook his head. Not the right answer. Each person in the class went through the same procedure. Each had the wrong answer. After the third time each one in the class tried to come up with the answer the prof called them all together and told them that they sure were mix­ ed up. Simon was coming up with the answer Smith was supposed to get. Smith was getting the answer that Jones should have had. Thomas was getting the answer Simon was supposed to get. All of a sudden a light came into the old profes­ sor's eye, and he came up with the right answer to the whole thing. Somehow he had mixed the names and the substances up. Harold Norris was telling about a fellow who really had his share of troubles for one day. Harold says this is a true story. This poor fellow was working in a plant some­ where and he had an accident that injured a finger to the point where he was rushed to the hospital for treatment. He just nicely arrived at the hospital when he got a telephone call from his wife saying that the house was on fire. The doctor gave him a quick emergency patch-up of the finger and the guy took off in his car for home. In his rush he went off the road and wound up in the ditch. This did his car no good at all. Anyway, he got out of the car and ran on home. As he rushed around to help with things at the fire the wind blew the storm door which hit him in the butt and broke the glass, giving his a nasty cut in the butt. He was immediately rushed back to the hos­ pital where several stitches were required. I'll bet he was glad to see that day end. Bev Backe took her little son who is three, over to the bowling alley to let him watch the girls bow L He had a big time. He enjoyed watching the bowl­ ing, but as much as anything he enjoyed the atten­ tion he got from the members of the team. They all held nim on their laps, hugged him and cuddled him. The next day he called his grandmother to give her the real exciting and wonderful news of the day. "Guess what, grandma. I've got the mumps. " pie who refuse to go to the aid or someone Being attacked. The papers play up the person who says he does not want to get involved. Many of us have closed our eyes to the troubles of others. Now it would appear that some do care about others. Some do want to help and will go out of their way to help. Mrs. A. Beystrum tells me that she was sitting at a table at the VFW house on Saturday, with several other people, among them Pete Larson and next to him a lad four or five years old. Pete patted the little boy on the head and asked him, " Do you think I could get a hair cut like yours?" \ A salesman from Toledo was telling me that his wife went in the hospital for some rattier routine surgery. Bill was sitting inthe waiting room read­ ing a magazine and waiting for her to get out of the operating room. Three or four women were in the room with him. The doctor, a real joker, came charging into the waiting room, shook Bill by the hand and said, "Congratulations, your wife just gave birth to trip­ lets. ,p Bill went back to his magazine and muttered something to the effect that he didn't even know she was pregnant. Bill says it shook the women more than some­ what. News Photos My boy got the bright idea to hold a paint-in at our house on Sunday. So he invited a bunch of his friends to come over with paint and brushes, and each one just started in doing whatever came into his head. When the kids got through with the ga rage it looked like nothing you have seen, with such famous old lines as " school lunch tastes good," and "CAUTION » ADULTS AT PLAY. " The kids had a big time of it and it kept them off the streets for a tew hours, at least. Now I am going to organize another paint- in but I'm going to change the ground rules. I can’t do it though, until I save up enough money for more hamburger to feed the crowd. - » Hi i The PTA has a very worthwhile project they are working on right now. They are organizing Help­ ing Hands block mothers wno display the helping hand sign in their windows. Children who need help for any reason are instructed to go to a house witn the helping hand sign in the window for aid. This is a good sign.

Chien, Publishing Agency Johnson’s renomination and the World Crisis It is not unusual for the experts to be red-faced or for a doctor to make a wrong diagnosis or to have a PhD professor stumped by a freshman's question. Washington's experienced reporters and correspon­ dents have made so many wrong predictions, which is not all their fault because we have expected too much from them about their knowledge of human be­ havior. President Johnson's recent announcement was a re­ markable and courageous decision to make concern­ ing his deep conviction about peace in the Far East and world security. According to my experiences with the communistic nations. I do not feel there is any influence from the Russians to stop the Vietnam war. The Chinese communists are the masters behind this war. Unless they are willing to come to the peace table, there is no way for the North Vietna mese to get rid of the thousands of Chinese commu­ nist military advisors. Let me make an unbiased prediction. It is not we who will not come to the peace table during the next thirty to sixty days. The North Vietnamese may re­ fuse to negotiate faithfully. They may even escalate the war, commit more atrocities to our soldiers by the time the Democratic party's convention comes fl­ round in August. The nation will draft Lyndon B. Johnson as a war-time president. I have a child who is nineteen. I do not believe any father wishes to have his son go to war. Yet, this indecisive bickering for peace is a sign of weakness to Oriental politicians. I believe we have to pay the price for prolonging this war because we believe in this democratic system of the people's voice. At the end, freedom ana liberty will persevere while we suf­ fer casualties at the present time. Locals Mr.and Mrs. Jerry Reed spent the weekend in West Branch with their daughter and family.

THURSDAY. APRIL 26. IBM SMITH’S MEN’S WEAR Charlotte, Michigan �Vermontville -—Just a little town with a big reputation Vermontville from its beginning seemed destined to be one of the best known small towns in Western Michigan. Its popularity for the annual maple syrup festival has cinched that, but from its origin, the conceived plan of colonization, the fact that it was once considered as the home of what is now Olivet college, gave this little rural community a signifi­ cance which sets if aside from the usual small town. Vermontville might have been known from an in­ dustrial source too, had the railroad running north and south, which would have cut through just west of Vermontville's Main street, ever gone through. The roadbed can still be seen south of town running parallel with the main highway near the bridge. The railroad was never completed because of a lack of money. Not a town which mushroomed by industry of geo­ graphical importance, Vermontville has the distinc­ tion of being a well-planned community, planned by a courageous, bravely determined band of relig­ ious persons who took every possible measure to pro­ cure a permanent settlement in the wilderness of Michigan that would withstand the early rigors of pioneer life. Back in 1835 the Rev. Sylvester Cochrane, a Con­ gregational minister of Vermont, came to Michi­ gan with an eye toward planning to settle perma­ nently. He found the settlers so widely scattered that U seemed impossible that they might have either religious or educational advantages. So the minister returned east and conceived a plan of col­ onization, disclosing his plans to a group of pros­ pective emigrants. The following spring, March 27, 1836, a large meeting was held and the foundation was laid for of the Pilgrim Fathers. After a great many "where­ ases" and "therefores" were drafted and adopted the code of laws for the colony were drawn up. A total of 42 men signed them. Each member had to advance $212. 50, the price ‘ of 160 acres and one village lot of ten acres, and also give a note for $25, payable in two years, to­ ward Building a meeting-nouse. There were many other stipulations. A prohibi­ tion pledge was signed by all, a group of three a­ gents were appointed to go into tne western coun­ try and select a suitable location for the colony and . purchase the same, and a great many other arrange­ ments were settled. On April 2, 1836, S. 8. Church and William G. * Henry left Vermont with a cowhide valise of the Colony's money. In Western New York they were joined by Wait J. Squier. The trip they made to Michigan, bow they went from Battle Creek to Kal­ amazoo, to Grand Rapids and through Barry County into Eaton to find the exact spot to locate, has pro­ vided many interesting stories. But eventually they did make their selection, in a rich and fertile soil, in an area which produces annually some of the finest wheat in the State of Michigan. On May 27, 1836, the amount of desired land was purchased from the government and the village of Vermontville was platted into 36 lots, with farm areas located around the village. A public square was set aside at the center, which is still in use. The northwest quarter became the site of the first log scboolhouse, and later, the Academy, al­ though the first pupils were taught in a private home. The southwest quarter in the early 1860's became the location of the Congregational church, the northeast quarter, in later years, became the site of the Methodist Episcopal church, and the southeast quarter, devoted to "general use" was e­ ventually used as a ' In a comparative short time the village stretched out a mile long >m east to west with two rows the street, ten to 40 rods a­ , fuse was built. The log hous­ es had floors split out of white ash. roofed with peeled basswood bark. A ladder through a hole in place made of stone and clay, with a chimney of church. This was in charge of the Rev. W. U. Bene­ dict, the Congregational minister. The building, still in excellent condition, is known as the ChapeL The academy was attended by aspiring teachers from Barry and Eaton counties. In later years, when Vermontville was considered the site for a college, there were a number of residents who thought the influence of a "college town"wouldbebadforthei young people and promptly protested. Olivet was then selected, and thence Olivet college came into being. When Vermontville was first settled the nearest trading post and postoffice were located at Bellevue, but most of the early buying was done in Marshall Later the Marshall-Ionia road was cut through and a weekly mail route in the western part of Eaton county was established. The first local postoffice was established in 1840. The Barber State bank, organized in 1862 as a private bank by Homer G. Barber, was one of the oldest banking institutions in Michigan. Vermont­ ville's oldest church is the Congregational, organ­ ized February 27, 1838. The Methodist church had its beginning when a " class" was organized at the Brown schoolhouse two miles northeast of here. In 1862, at a cost of $1, 600, a church was built on that location. After 15 years the parishioners decid-. its presed to move the build! *into the 1 village at '* ent location on the rx least corner of the "village ._______ " Vermontville . ' square. had its first newspaper in 1874 when the Vermontville Enterprise was first edited and published. It was owned bv several different publishen in those first years,. and the name was publishers changed to "The Hawk. "” In 1885 it was purchased by two men who gave it the name of "Vermontville Echo." A couple of years ago it was consolidated with the "Nashville News" and is published in Nash­ ville as "The Maple Valley News. " When the colonists came to Vermontville more than 130 years ago they found the Pottawattomi and Ottawa Indians friendly. They were already making maple syrup, although their method was crude in many respects. Down through the years many changes have taken place, but fundamentally it is still the same little community. A miracle may one day make Vermont­ ville a city, but meanwhile this community is con­ tent to remain "a little town with a big reputation."

Uncles, aunts, nieces, nep­ hews, cousins and neighbors all lend a hand to hang buckets, gather sap, and even help us in the big cleaning up job afterwards. So far this year we've had help ranging from ages six to sixty-two. We've always made syrup for as long as I can remember. It came from both sides of the family. Mother told me that her grandfather used to take big tubs of soft sugar by horses to Marshall. He could sell it or trade it for something they might need at home. On my father's side, syrup making dates back to my great, great, grandfather. My father nas inherited all the equipment now. The sap is boiled down in one end of our garage. Before the garage, the evaporator used to be in a sugar shanty. The good old sugar shanty got quite slanted. It was beginning to look hazardous to we had to bum it down. Back when Mother and Dad were just married they used to boil the sap back in the woods in big open pans. Hard maples are the Idnd of trees we tap. The trees get one bucket on them when they're about six to eight inches in diameter. When the tree gets older it will probably get two or three buck­ ets. There are a tew old faithfuls that we hang 4 or 5 on and they're always pretty well filled. Before we hang the buckets we have to wash them. If you ever thought a pile of dirty dishes looked formidable you should've seen those. Eight hundred pails and lids. After having finally wash­ ed them, two people go ahead and scatter the right amount of pails and lids at the right trees. First of all a patch of the rough bark is chopped off then the hole is drilled. Pills are then put into the trees. I felt a little silly giving a pill to a tree but I guess they really work. The paraformaldehide pills slow down and kill bacteria. That heals the wound in the tree. This saves re-tapping, which we bad to do some yean because the hole healed before the season was over. The pills are poison but harmless because they dissolve so slow­ ly. Sometimes portions of the pill are still in the hole when the spile is removed. As I was saying, after the pills are put in the spiles are drove and the buckets are hung. As soon as the sap starts running we start gath­ ering. We keep busy because were tapping three woods. Here is where our trouble usually starts. Since it's spring, we're having these big thaws and the ground gets very muddy. I don't know how many times we’ve gotten stack up to the hub in sticky mud. We always send for another tract­ or to pull us out and it always gets stuck too. A­ side from this minor problem there is the cold­ ness. Most generally no one is affected by the cold because we all keep toasty in our long un­ derwear. When we get up to the sugar house we let the sap drain off into the storage tanks. From there it is pumped and strained into a smaller tank a­ bove the evaporator. Then by means of gravita­ tional pull and a valve we control the amount of sap going into the evaporator. The firebox under the evaporator is kept going by wood and coal. I guess more up to date peo­ ple use gas or oil but we always have wood o n hand so we use it. In the far end ot the evaporator impurities boil to the top and form a foamy scum that has to be skimmed off. The sap goes down and back through the flues over the fire until it's finally done. Dad tests it by seeing how it sheets off the dipper. If it's near done the syrup will drop off the dipper in sheets instead of in a stream or drip by drip. Checking to be sure with a hydrometer, he waits till it’s just right. He draws off the golden syrup into a ten gallon milk can with a heavy felt filter and a faucet at the bottom. Using the faucet, we can draw syrup off into gallon cans, half gallon cans, quart cans or any kind of commercial con­ tainer. And sometimes we draw off a little for our­ selves when it's real warm and it tastes so good. It takes approximately thirty to forty gallons of sap to make a gallon of syrup. Now we come to the sugar making phase. Boil the syrup at a high temperature; the faster boiled the better just like sap. The method we use to test it is to take about half a teaspoon of the boiling sy­ rup and put it in a cup of cold water. If it forms a soft ball upon prodding it with your finger, remove it from the heat. Next you stir and stir.and beat and beat until it seems to turn a shade lighter and it takes on a bubbly appearance. Now is the time to pour. If you wait much longer you'll find it harden­ ing on the sides of your dish, Now is when we'd pour it over the fresh snow or crushed ice. It turns waxy. Now is when we'd have a sugering off party. We used to go around the neighborhood and pick up peo­ ple, hayride style, and bring them out to the old sugar shanty, we'd have a big bonfire going, so everybody could roast hot dogs; then we'd sugar off. Usually however, the syrup gets poured into rubber molds of little men, little women, Indian heads, maple leaves and other things. I think Vermontville's Syrup Festival has greatly helped the syrup makers. Mother and Dad said be­ fore the Festival they would have to peddle their syrup and sugar from door to door in some of the bigger cities. Back then they sold it for $1. 50 to $2/00 for a gallon.. Now that the Festival has come along, people come to us for syrup and are willing to pay seven dollars a gallon for it. A­ nother thing the Festival has done for Vermontville that would be even better was to'put good old Ver­ montville on the map. The essay above was written by Miss Karen Benedict, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Be ne diet of Vermontville. The essay was a part of the requirements for a Maple Syrup Queen candi­ date. Karen will reign at the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival in April.

Although the General Uniting Conference that forms the United Methodist Church rakes place in Dallas, Texas on April 23, Michigan Conferences will not be officially merged in aspects of adminis­ tration until June, 1969, and local churches will not merge until laymen decide to do so. Both the now Evangelical United Brethren and Methodist women's societies have been informed, however, that officers should be elected before June 1 to begin terms in September. Therefore, both ex­ ecutive committees felt this an ideal time to bring to a vote any decisions on merging the local socie­ "Tee mpask *s«" ties, so that, if approved, elections could be made accordingly and without reversal. Whereas an invitation had already been given to the Women's Society of World Service to attend the April 25 meeting of the Woman's Society of Christ­ ian Service, it was recommended that this time also serve for this vote on union of the two sociietes. Each society will cast and count ballots separately, and provision will be made for absentee balloting. In the event that such union is approved, a nomin­ ating committee of two women from each church willoe named to prepare a ballot of officers. This meeting will be held at 1 p. m. at the Uni­ ted Methodist Church, comer of State and Washing­ ton, beginning with a carry-in luncheon. Mrs. A. F. Welch will present the program in the form of a book review.

S43-0760 �Village of Nashville planning for Centennial Celebration in -June, 1969 The village of Nashville will observe its Centen­ nial in 196C A centennial committee is already at work, and the Chamber of Commerce is to act as the correlative body. Reviewing a history of Nashville, published in 1880, it reads: "The importance of this young and aspiring village should not be gauged by the dura­ tion of its history, which as yet barely numbers a doz­ en years of activity and growth. The major portion of the land on which it was built was purchased from the government during the years 1836-37 for pur­ poses of speculation. From chat date until 1855 no improvements were made. A little later a mill was erected, as well as a few rude structures necessary to accommodate the men employed in its operation, and these remained until about 1864 the only fore­ runners of the future flourishing village. "In 1865 the village was first platted by Robert B. Gregg. In 1866 the Grand River Valley Railroad was projected, and the preliminary survey made. In January, 1869, the first train passed over the recent­ ly-completed railroad, and then began an almost unprecedented era of progress. The land embraced within the corporate limits of Nashville was origi­ nally purchased from the government." The larger portion of Nashville lies in Castleton township while the southern portion lies in Maple Grove township. According to history the early pur­ chasers in the Castleton area included Ichabob Clark of Genesee county. New York, Marion C. L, Pennimann of New London county. Conn., Horace Butler or Oneida Co., N. Y., Dimmick Bennett of Cal­ houn Co., William G. Sprague of Livingston, N. Y., John JI Pettibone of Washtenaw Co., Abraham Voorhes of Wayne Co., Alfred Warren of Washtenaw Co., Charles T. Moffatt of Eaton Co., Francis Moor of Castleton Co., and Lucius Barnes of Kalamazoo Co. Those purchasing the land in the Maple Grove area were Simeon Griffin cf Tioga Co., N. Y., Ben­ jamin Tate of Hillsdale Co., and Charles S. Briggs of Windham Co., Conn. "Pursuing its devious way through the central por­ tion of the village limits, " the history continues, "is the Thornapple river, a stream which, aside from the picturesque beauty it imparts to the landscape, serves a more useful purpose in affording an excel­ lent waterpower,, which has been for a quarter of a century utilized for commercial purposes. "The earliest plat of the village was made by Rob­ ert B. Gregg, the survey having been completed on the 2nd day of October, 1865 by Joshua Martin. " In a detailed report of the plat description it stat­ ed that the lots are 55 feet north and south by 132 feet east and west, noting a few exceptions. Main street and Queen street are 66 feet wide, and that all other streets are 60 feet wide. The alleys are 12 feet wide. Several addition were made includ­ ing the A. W. Phillips addition in 1866, the Orsemas Phillips addition in 1867, the Philip Holler addi­ tion in 1870, the Daniel Staley addition in 1871, the Alanson W. PhMlips in 1871, the R. B. Gregg ad­ dition in 1872 and the Orsemas Phillips addition in 1875,." Canneming the early commercial enterprises the history continues: "The years 1864 and 1865, espec­ ially the latter, were fraught with significance in the history of the hamlet. During the former year Leonard Stauffer became the pioneer in mercan­ tile enterprise. He erected a building on the site of the residence of Philip Holler, and, In connection with William Feighner, place in it a small stock of goods adapted to the very meagre patronage they were likely to attract, the rude structure doing duty both as store and dwelling. "The following year Robert B. Gregg, with a pre­ monition of the advancement that awaited the lit­ tle village, determined on surveying and platting the ground he owned. Mr. Gregg having carried out this plan, the lots were offeredt or sale, the first one being purchased by Enos Kuhlman, a brother­ in-law of Mr. Stauffer, who had become associated with him in his mercantile venture. "After this the forest was rapidly felled to make way for the log structures which followed the arriv­ al of each new settler. Among those who early be­ came owners of lots were George Boyer, Israel Wright, Ephraim Church and William Killen. Wil­ liam Feighner afterwards erected a building and opened a grocery store, while John Markler and William Parker were among the mechanics of the place. Dr. J. H. Palmer guarded the health of the hamlet, and was foe at least two yean without a rival. "A decided impulse was given to business enter­ prise by the erection of a grist-mill on the Thorn­ apple river by Eli M. and MVB Mallett, and G. W. Johnson. The project of a railroad had also assum- Main street. Mr. Griffith subsequently embarked in the grain trade, and in 1875 erected the brick building in which he now carries on business. About 1867, a gentleman named Reed opened a store in Nashville, but his mercantile career extended over a period of only two years. "Lewis Durkee was attracted to the village in 1866, and, in connection with Hiram Coe, e m barked in the sale of groceries on Main street. The railroad having been completed in January, 1869, he engaged in its service, in which he remained six years. Clement Smith began the practice of law in 1868, but has since moved to Hastings, and is now judge of probate. "From this time various professional and mechan­ ical pursuits were represented as the hamlet a d vanced, and in 1869 the Legislature bestowed a village charter upon it. This act occasioned much apparent surprise to the leading citizens, and no resident has yet assumed the responsibility of hav­ ing advocated the measure. The name it bears was given in honor of Mr. Nash, the chief engineer of the Grand River Bailey Railroad, although he was in nowise identified with the place. "The young lady who has the honor of being the first child born within the present corporation lim­ its is Miss Hattie, daughter cf Robert B. Gregg, whose advent occurred in 1865. "A clergyman was early summoned from V e r montville to unite in matriomonial bonds Mr. M. V. B. Mallett and Miss Alcesta Price, this happy e­ vent having been the earliest marriage in the vil­ lage. On the 4th of July, 1867, occurred the first national celebration in Nashville, when three thousand people assembled on the river-bank, east of Main street, and listened to the patriotic strains of a barrister from Calhoun county. "In 1874 the prosperity of the village suffered a check by reason of a serious conflagration which swept away property upon Main street valued at nearly $20,000. The result of this calamity was for a while a general feeling of depression, but a reaction eventually followed in its wake, and new and more imposing edifices arose in place of the old ones. So great has been the growth and suc­ cess of this village, numbering little more than ten years of development, that it now ranks as the second commercial and manufacturing centre in Barry county, and its course is still steadily on­ ward the upward. "During the year 1866 it became apparent that there were a number of children in Nashville for whom educational advantages should be provided. A notice was circulated that at a time specified, a "bee" would be held for the purpose of erecting a schoolhouse. The call met a prompt respome, and on the day appointed, before darkness ap­ proached, the schoolhouse was in actual existance. It could hardly be commended for beauty of de­ sign, but served well the purpose for which it was erected. After a more spacious structure had su­ perseded it, the former building did service as a Darn on one of the neighboring streets. The first school numbered thirteen children, who were un­ der the care of Miss Aggie Smith (now Mrs. C. M Putnam). The schoolhouse, which was said not to have been discernible from a short distance, so • thick was the forest, also did duty as a church and Sunday school room.' "The present school building was erected in 1868, and, although at that time apparently large and comfortable, the growing demands of the place have made more extensive quarters a neces­ sity. The teachers who have filled positions in connection with the Nashville school since its first organization are, in order of service by terms, as follows; Miss Aggie Smith, Mrs. Anna Lamb, Miss Marion Warren, Mr. Clement Smith, Miss Mary Ely, Miss Frank M. Wheeler, Miss Mary Ely, Mrs. Fanny Mott, Miss Alice Slade, Mrs, L. O. Crocker, Miss Hattie Burlingham, Mrs. Irish, Mrs. L.O. Crocker, Mr. Frank Lathrop, Miss Mary Barney, Mr. Enoch Andrus, Miss Alice McNair, Mrs.C. Van Arnam, Miss Alice McNair, Miss Emma Russell, Mr. C. Van Norman, Miss Alice McNair, Miss Mary E. Cory, Mr. T. T. Crandle, Miss L. Warren, Miss Eva White, Mrs. A. J. Beebe, Miss Mina McCartney, Mr. Jay Boise, Mrs. A. J. Beebe, Mrs. A. M. Flint,. Mr. R.W. Huntington, Mrs. A. J. Beebe, Miss Mina McCartney, Mr. Barney Brooks, Mrs. A. J. Beebe, Miss M. McCartney, Mrs. A. M. Flint, Mrs. R. M. Payne, Miss L. A. Davis, Miss Mary Gear, Mrs. A. M. Flint, Mr. R. M. Payne, Mrs. A. M. Flint, Mrs. A. J. Beebe and Miss Mary Hindmarch. " By 1880 the school superintendent was R. M. Payne and was organized on the "graded" plan. The school had gained an enviable reputation for thoroughness and excellence in all its departments. The early history of Nashville relates that "The first physician to establish ihimself in Nashville was Dr. J. H. Palmer who followed his profession there from 1865 until 1867 without a rival or a colleague. During the latter year Dr. C. W. Wickham came from Eaton county, his former home. "Dr. Wickham was followed in the spring of 1870 by Dr. H. A. Barber of Lansing who had been a prac­ titioner in Minnesota before returning to his native state. He was the first representative of the homeo­ pathic school in Nashville. "Dr. W. H. Young, formerly of Toronto, Canada became a resident of Nashville in 1870, Dr. W. H. Griswold, a native of Olivet, Eaton county, en­ gaged in the practice of medicine in Nashville in October, 1878, having formerly resided in Maple Grove. Dr. F. A. Jones began his practice in Nash­ ville in the spring of 1880. " Concerning the legal profession, Lewis Durkee became a resident of Nashville in 1866, and for several years was engaged in business pursuits. Hav­ ing during this time Y devoted much attention to the study of law," he obtained admission to the bar and entered on the practice of his profession. Abijah M. Flint, a native of Eaton county, came to this village in 1868. He made but a brief stay, remov­ ing to Kansas where be remained six years. In 1875 he returned to Nashville.

The Seminar has grown out of the department's recognition that the increasing numbers of high school students interested in composition seldom find music programs designed specifically for their needs. The Composer's Seminar, July 7 through July 20, is planned as a stimulus to the young student composer and as an opportunity to' study with an experienced composer. The two-week session will include intensive work in composition, orchestration, and contem­ porary music literature. Toward the end of the session, there will be an opportunity for perfor­ mance of selected scores by the seminar composers. High school students interested in receiving more information should write to Composer's Seminar, Department of Music, Western Michigan Universi­ ty, Kalamazoo, Michigan 49001. CONGRATULATIONS VERMONTVILLE on your With the emphasis on the seven warning signals of cancer, the American Cancer Society naslaunched its 1968 educational and fund-raising crusade in Barty County, with a goal set at $7, 934. 50. The local county crusade will continue through May 15, with Mrs. David Arnold, of Hastings, as drive chairman, and Mrs. Lawrence Weber as town­ ship residential chairman. Attorney Richard Hudson, president of the Barry County unit of the Cancer Society, states that the crusade will focus attention on the fact that too many people are not familiar with just which signs could indicate cancer. "While the public is slowly acquiring knowledge of the signals, surveys show that too many persons cannot name most of the signals. A recent study, sponsored by the American Society, revealed that 69% of those sampled could identify a single warn­ ing sign. . Yet, in a similar survey in 1955 the figure was 60%, while a Gallup poll taken in 1948 snowed on­ ly 51% could name a correct signal. "A nine percentage point gam in awareness of this vital information is most welcome, but is is a slow step forward over an eleven year period. That is why tne Cancer Society if stressing the knowing these signals." Plans for the all-out crusade include nationwide distribution of 40 million leaflets listing the seven warning signals of cancer. Every family in Barry County will receive the leaflet, most of them to be distributed in person by Cancer Society volun­ teer workers during the crusade. At a recent kick-off meeting township chairmen were named, and include: Mrs. D.

Joint worship service planned for Sunday The two United Methodist Churches in Nashville will hold a joint worship service this Sunday in what was formerly the Methodist Church at the cor­ ner of State and Washington. This past Tuesday at 8; 30 a. m., the former E­ vangelical United Brethren and Methodist denomin­ ations formed the new denomination at a meeting of the governing bodies of both groups in Dallas, Texas. The joint service on Sunday will mark the passing of the former denominations and the b e ginning of the new one. The proper name of the new denomination is United Metnodist. Both Pastor B. J. Varner from the United Metho­ m dist Church at the corner of F and Pastor Robert Boyer from bring short messages. Participating with the pastors will be Eldon Day and Ben Mason, chairmen of the trustees of the two bodies. Mrs. William Dean will serve as organist, and Mrs. Robert Boyer as choir director. Tne soloist will be Mn, John Simon, ac­ companied by Joe Andrews. Mrs. J. E. Smith will direct her youth choir, and the choirs from both churches will combine for an anthem. Several young people and adults from both churches will also serve in other ways. Each church will hold its own church school at 11:00 a. m. in its own building. "I feel that this will be a day to mark progress, " states Pastor Varner. "We have been two denomin­ ations with nearly everything in common but our names. Since 1803, there has been talk of merger. Now I think it is a great privilege to be part of this newest denomination, and I look for great service to God to come from this forward step. * Pastor Boyer is also pleased to see the new mer­ ger finally completed. In his past several pastor­ ates, he has worked closely with Evangelical Uni­ ted Brethren pastors and churches and felt the unity. These two churches invite everyone to worship with them to commemorate this historic occasion. This service will begin at 10:00 a. m. 1968 Syurp Fettival PENNOCK CONCRETE Nashville, Mich.

Kathy Skedgell and Joe Barrette, go into their dance in the all-school musical "The Boyfriend" which will run Wednesday, Thursday ana Saturday in the high school auditorium. --News Photo Mail patrons offended by pandering advertise­ ments can now take steps to curb such mail, P o s t masters Wilma DeCamp and Lawrence Frith said today in announcing plans for administering a new law which gives each family the right to decide that an ad u "erotically arousing or sexually pro­ vocative. ” When an advertisement sent through the mails is offensive on these grounds, a postal patron can ask the postoffice to direct the mailer to send no more mail to him and to remove immediately the pa­ tron's name from all mailing lists he owns, con­ trols or rents. To assist patrons, the Postoffice department has published a brief pamphlet--"How You Can Curb Pandering Advertisements"--which is now avail­ able at the Nashville and Vermontville postoffices. In addition to explaining how the law works, the pocket-size leaflet contains a form letter one can use when sending his complaint to the postoffice. The pamphlet explains that when a patron re­ ceives an advertisement which is, in hu opinion, pandering, he must send the ad, its envelope and the form letter, or one which includes its lan­ guage, to his postoffice with the words, "Request for prohibitory order" on the face of the envelope. Postmasters DeCamp and Frith said: "This new law should give some protection to American fam­ ilies offended by advertisements they believe to be morally harmful, particularly to their children. " "Last year the Postoffice department received some 140, 000 complaints from those offended by pandering advertisements. While in most cases tne ads were not legally obscene and were therefore mailable, they are often offensive and are usually not the type of material one would want his chil­ dren to read, " the Postmasters said. They added that because the law gives a mail patron the sole right to decide what is offensive, and does not deny others the right to receive the same mail, the Congress felt it does not violate Constitutional guarantees of freedom of speech. " While the patron's complaint will only be direct­ ed to the sender, the Postmasters believe that one or two complaints will provide substantial protec­ tion because "the great bulk of this advertising comes from fewer than 20 so-called 'smut dealers'' who are frequently swapping mailing lists. " If a mailer does not strike a complainant's name from this mailing list, and the patron receives a second mailing m 30 days after the firm has re­ ceived the prohibitory order, be may bring the matter to the attention of the postmaster issuing the initial order by writing him and enclosina tne second pandering ad withits (envelope. If the mail er still fails to respect the order, the Postmaster General may ask the Attorney General to apply for a Federal Court order directing compliance. Fail­ ure to observe the order may be punishable by a fine or imprisonment.

Guests were present also from Vermontville. The attendance at the meeting to see the special film about "Child Molester” indi­ cated the concern the parents feel in preventing such a tragedy from happening. In the discussion before the showing of the film. Principal Bob Steward stated the film was made a­ vailable through Mr. Pray, from Pray's Funeral Home in Charlotte. Mr. Pray was unable to attend the meeting, but had sent the film and some writ­ ten comments about it. Mrs. Redman, PTA President, talked to the group at the ending of the film, stating that the PTA would like to start a program of placing cards, with a picture of an upraised hand, in certain designa ted homes in every block in Nashville and V e r montville. This home then would become a place a child could go to, if there was the need for se­ curing help. Mrs. Dorothy Schutte will act as the chairman for this project and will need helpers to get it started. The PTA also asked Mr. Steward if be could ask the Board of Education if the film could be shown to all the school children because they felt it was so worth-while. In other business at the PTA meeting, Mrs. Red­ man reported that some Indian clubs, new basket­ balls and large utility balls had been purchased for the Queen Street School.

STATE SALVAGE A million dollars or more of state salvage and surplus are sold each year by the Purchasing Divi­ sion, Michigan Department of Administration. According to director Philip H. Anderson, every­ thing from asparagus to mattress hair has been sold to private consumers through the state's method of auction - bid selling. Sales of unwanted state mer­ chandise are handled by Douglas Dodge. In 1966, Dodge sold about $1. 2 million worth of salvage and surplus equipment including 1, 500 ve­ hicles and about 9, 600 used tires. Every agency in the state must follow an out­ lined procedure when disposing of unwanted or wom-out items. Items are listed on regulation forms and submit­ ted to Dodge. A compiled list is then circulated to all state agencies and institutions. Items on the list needed by other agencies are simply tra ns ferred. Merchandise not spoken for is then listed for pub­ lic disposal It is Dodge's responsibility to find buyers for the merchandise and get the best price. Some items merit personal trackdown of potential customers. For example. Dodge recently "acquired" 100 acres of asparagus. Inmates at Southern Michigan Prison grew the vegetable for their own canning factory. But the cannery is going out of business so the job of selling asparagus became Dodge's. A call to the Department of Agriculture gave Dodge a list of commercial canneries. The prod­ uct was quickly sold. "That was an easy one, " he said. A tougher problem currently facing him is disposition of "ap­ proach ramps" used when autos were driven aboard the Straits of Mackinac ferry boats. Invitations to bid are mailed to possible buyers on most items. Vehicles are sold at auction only to licensed dealers. Bids may be submitted either on specific items or on a collective basis. If the item's value is so small it is not consider­ ed worthy of listing, an authorization for agency disposal may be issued. The agency itself will then solicit three bids and sell to the highest bidder. If the item cannot be sold, it is destroyed and then sold for scrap. Many unusual items are among the hundreds of thousands sold each year. Anything of value is listed for disposal tiones and animal grease, by­ products of state slaughtering, are sold to com­ mercial processors. A team of hones, pastured at a state hospital, was recently sold. Airplanes from the Conservation and Highway Departments are put for bids. Fire towers, snow-mobiles, telephone lines, of­ fice machines and furniture, outboard motors and boats, chaimaws, farm equipment, marine equip­ ment, industrial machines and tools, chemicals, and even small auto parts are included in the "Ava liability Circular of Surplus and Salvage Prop­ erty" published by the department. There is no set date for auctions and specific items are obtainable only on an "available now" basis. However, the department tries to notify people looking for specific items when those items are available for bids. All items are sold on a "where is - as is" basis. Inquiries should be sent to the Purchasing Division, Department of Administration, Surplus and S a 1 vage, Lewis Cass Building, Lansing, 48913.

The Maple Valley Band went to the Southwestern Junior High School building in Battle Creek. Bands were present from the high schools in Marshall, Kal• amazoo, Albion and Battle Creek. The Band received a No. 2 rating, or a B at this state level competition. They performed three num­ bers and were given ratings on their total perfor­ mance for these. Other judging was done on sight reading for performing two pieces they had not seen previously. Their combination score gave them the No. 2 rating. The Maple Valley Band had taken part in the Dis­ trict Festival in Grand Rapids several weeks ago. At this competition they received a No. 1 rating, mak­ ing it possible for them to compete at the state leveL The Junior and Senior Bands will present a Pops Concert next week, Thursday, May 9 at 8:00 p. m. in the auditorium at the Maple Valley High SchooL Meeting scheduled to name Centennial committees Harold Christiansen, new village president of Nashville, goes over committee appointments with the council. Shown with Christiansen are James Varner, seated left, Henry Fedewa, Otto Dahm, Ben Kenyon, Frank Scramlin and Harold Norris, seated right. --Photo by Gladys Richardson Council discusses Village street improvement plan Thursday evening the Nashville council met in the village hall with all members present except Henry Fedewa who was ilL Harold Norris reported on the street committee's decision as to the streets which are to receive blacktop this spring. Included will be Reed street, Cleveland, Middle and Queen, while Gregg is due for extensive patching. It will take about six weeks to complete the work and will be started as soon as the repair work on the storm sewers in the area of the former high school building are made. The cost will be approximately $16, 850. Nashville's Main street, which is State Hwy M­ 66, is also due for blacktopping. Following that, the street will be remarked for parking. There was considerable discussion of cutting back on parking near the intersections to eliminate "blind spots. " This will cut some six or seven car-parking spaces. Using the east side of Central Park for car-parking was discussed but no action was taken. The use of the village dump and maintenance costs were again discussed, and garbage pickup and water rates were studied but no conclusions make. Village president Harold Christiansen has recon­ sidered, and Nashville will participate in Mayor Exchange Day during Michigan Week. Nashville will exchange with Vicksburg. Christiansen ap­ pointed the Rev. B. James Varner and Otto Dahm from the council to work with Al Smith and James Rizor from the Chamber of Commerce in setting up a program for that day, Monday, May 20. The condition of the Boy Scout hall and the roof at the Putnam Library were discussed. Nashville has a new police car, and a riot gun has been purchased for the police department. Justin Cooley was appointed as Zoning Adminis­ trator with approval by the council He will take over his new duties May 1. A meeting has been arranged for Thursday eve­ ning, May 2 at 8:00 p. m. at the Castleton Town­ ship HalL This is the second meeting for working out plans for the observance of Nashville’s Centen­ nial next year. George Vogt has been named Chairman for the Centennial Committee and he has urged that repre­ sentatives be present from the various clubs, groups and organizations in the community. It is hoped that various committees will be named at Thurs­ day's meeting. In the meeting held April 4, approximately 50 persons attended, indicating a decided interest in taking part in the Centennial planning. Mr. Vogt expressed his appreciation for the attendance and the enthusiasm shown and urges all who are inter­ ested to attend Thursday's meeting.

There is a prescribed way to dispose of these flags and the VFW intends to make a ceremony of this. Dale Maurer says that he does not know the exact date of the ceremony right now, but he said that anyone who does have a flag which he wants dis posed of may bring it to the VFW and they will do it properly. He also informs me that the organization will have new flags for sale. They say it is always darkest before the dawn. I really wouldn't know because I make it a point to a­ rise just as late as I possibly can and still get break­ fast. The kids at the high school seemed to get a big kick out of the presentation of the all school musi­ cal. They did such a good job of it that it would not surprise me to have them move to Broadway. They might last longer than some of the things that open in New York. Everyone connected with the production is to be congratulated on the way the musical was presented. They did a teal professional job of it. Debbie Gurd was trying to explain a situation to Amy the other day and got rather involved in the story. It seems that the Gurds and the Terry Edgers live next to each other. The Edger's little boy, Todd, who is about three, is quite taken with Debbie, who is eight. He announced to Debbie a while back that he intended to marry her. Debbie didn't want to give Todd the old brush-off but she didn't really think the marriage would work out. She tried to ex­ plain to Todd that the difference in their ages is just too great to make a workable marriage. She suggested that he marry her sister Karen, who is a­ bout three years old. Todd thought this over for a while and tnen came out with a solution to the prob­ lem. He and Debbie would get married and the first "sister" they had would be named Karen. The target - a member of the Maple Valley Jaycees. The thrower - a Maple Valley Jaycee clown. The result - lots of fun for all! News Photos Who? - Lee McMillen, clown; Billy Maker, target. For some unknown reason business at the JC dunking booth really picked up when Ralph Kirk got on the unstable seat. While Ralph was up there the baseball throwers had to stand in line to get a shot at paying twenty-five cents to knock him into the water. Many of them did it too. The best throw of all though, came from Miss Peek, girls phys. ed. teacher, who payed her quar­ ter, wound up and let go with a side arm that would make old Tommy Bridges look sad. Her aim was perfect and Ralph went "deep six. " Miss Peek turned, brushed her hands together and said, " It was indeed a pleasure. ” Carl Thrun, driving a classy convertible in the parade at Vermontville, stopped right opposite me when the parade bogged down for a while. I walk­ ed over to kid him about the classy car. I became duly impressed though, when Mrs. Thrun, who was riding with Carl, informed me that she was sitting in the exact same seat mat Bobby Kennedy had oc­ cupied just a week before. How about that? One thing that impressed me about the parade was the great number of horses. Back m the good old days (I used to watch Gener­ al Custer and the boys pass in review before the In­ dian barber union got to them), one not only saw a parade, but he smelled it. Vermontville's parade was one that took some of us back because it was a parade one could smell. There must have been almost as many horses as people. If the delegation from Potterville is any indica­ tion, the Nashville people are going to have a ball next year with their centennial celebration. Those folks seemed to be having fun. Mr. and Mrs. Dale Platte of Route 1, Vermont­ ville have one hen in their flock who should be stag­ gering. They don’t know which hen is to blame, but one of them produced an egg that weighed a full quarter pound. Mrs. Platte took a picture of the egg along with a regular egg to show the difference in size. It is a good thing she did too, because now she has evi­ dence. The egg? Mrs. Platte put it in the refrigerator where she could keep it for a while and impress vis­ itors, but her daughter Mary, took it out to look at it and dropped it on the floor, making a darn big omelet. Mrs. Platte said the egg had a second complete egg, ..hell and all, insiae it. she let me use the picture just to show that this is more than just talk. The crowning of the National 1968 Maple Syrup Queen took place Friday evening at the Maple Valley High SchooL Vermontville was the host for this occasion. Pictured here with Miss Denise Viele, the 1967 Vermontville Maple Syrup Queen, are; Pat Wischmeyer, 1968 Maple Syrup Queen of Shepherd, Michigan, The new National Queen, Leila Hagen of Whitewater, Wisconsin; the 1967 National Queen, Sheila An­ derson from New York, Marlene Boehmer from Franklinville, New York, and Lyndi Moore of Chardon, Ohio. --News Photo "AS I SEE IT” written by Paul P.

While I was preparing, I discovered the highest goal of all Asiatic religious beliefs is to achieve an idividual's tranquility for an eternal peace of the mind and soul especially in Taotism. The highest discipline for an individual's body and soul is Ying-Yang. These two elements to live exist harmoniously to implement each other in or­ der to maintain tranquility. This concept has been interpreted by the scientists in the fields of physics, chemistry, and today even in medical science only when the individual's physical condition is excell­ ent can Ying-Yang harmoniously work together. In our fut moving society, it is very hard for an individual to maintain tranquility; therefore, we have to go to some resort areas to be close to nature. Tranquility It seems that nature is able to further tranquility and maintain our inner peace. When the individual a­ chieves this inner peace, he mentally is happy whichxtll affect his physical well-being. The har­ monious existence of Ying-Yang will create the in­ ner peace. Any self-greed, materialistic desire, self-centeredness will interfere with its tranquility and create unhappiness. Human beings will some­ time destroy each other because they have failed to live or survive harmoniously with each other. Once the individual achieves 'his inner paste, he will have no fear to face any crisis, even death it­ self. To achieve inner peace is not an easy task; it needs a high moral code, deep conviction of cer­ tain principles and a mote Important element, self­ lessness.

Almost equally comprised of people from both congregations, they celebrated the " marriagd1 of the Methodist and Evangelical United Brethren denominations which took place in Dallas several days before. ... Senior choirs from both churches began with the processional, "All Praise to Our Redeeming Lord, who joins us by His grace, ” the same hymn used in Dallas at the Uniting Conference. Anthems were presented by the Youth Choir, directed by Mrs. J. E. Smith, and from the combined choirs directed by Mn. Robert Boyer. The offertory solo was sung by Mrs. John Simon, who was accompan­ ied on the violin by Joe Andrews. Mn. William R. Dean served as organist. Pastor B. J. Varner spoke briefly on "In the Full­ ness of Time, " relating the many changes through the ages, of which both scripture and history tell, in the life of God's people and the Church. Pastor Robert Boyer entitled his remarks, "Thoughts on Church Union, " and spoke of the need to de-emphasize the small problems change may bring in favor of keeping the vision of the spiritual bene­ fits to be gained. Both pastors commented on the significance of the occasion after these years since 1&3, when informal merger talks first began be­ tween the early leaders. A ritual to commemorate church union used as symbols two small church buildings which were then combined and covered with one roof, and the light­ ing of one large candle from two on the altar. Ben Mason constructed the models and also represented the former Methodist denomination as president of trustees. Eldon Day represented the former Evangel­ ical United Brethren denomination in this cere­ mony. ; Debbie Green and Pamela Dean represented the -■ future generations of each church in bringing for­ ward the models. Ushers were Cecil Barrett, Max Kelley, Wallace Graham, and Fred Ackett. Daniel Varner and Mark Wheeler served as acolytes. Mrs. B. J. Varner prepared the wonhip folder. This service was planned by the Steering Steer Comcom mittee on Union of both churches, whic prised of the two pastors, Ben Mason, William Dean, Marian Pennock, J. E. Smith, Wallace Graham and Eldon Day. Women’s Societies merge The merging of the two women's societies in the Nashville United Methodist Churches was approved by a nearly unanimous vote on Thunday, April 25, 1968, at a joint meeting held at the United Metho­ dist Church on State Street. The Barryville United Methodist Women's Society of Christian Service declined to merge at this time explosive! I Chevrolet’s special savings bonus now adds more value to cars already giving you the most. due to its strength and situation but graciously offer­ ed its cooperation. The name of this new organization will be the Women's Society of Christian Service of the Nash­ ville United Methodist Churches. In reporting to Conferences or Districts, which are as yet not merg­ ed in administration, as well as in announcing sin­ gular continuing projects locally until September, and at other times when clarity is necessary, the names "The United Methodist Women's Society of Christian Service (EUB)" and'The United Methodist Society of Christian Service (Methodist)" will be used. The several circles of the former societies will remain unaltered for the present and until their members decide otherwise. A nominating committee was named to prepare a ballot for election of officers who will begin terms in September. This ballot is to be ready for casting at the next regular meetings of the Women's Soci­ eties of both churches. This nominating committee includes Mrs. J. E. Smith, Chairman; Mrs. Adolph Douse, Jr.; Mrs. Leo Marisch and Mrs. GlenardShow­ alter. A motion was carried to add to the slate of officers two delegates to Church Women United, one from each of the former societies. In attendance was a special guest, Mrs. Wilbur Williams of Lake Odessa, who is Michigan Confer­ ence President of the Women's Society of Christian Service (EUB). After the final vote was announced, she spoke briefly and answered questions. Commen­ ding the societies on this forward step, she related similar experiences among other groups in the state and nation. She remarked^ "We must be flexible and do things as we can for the group to make things simpler. Changes bring many questions to which we don't always have the answers, but answers will come in time." With the agenda completed, Mrs. William O. Dean led a devotional period. Mrs. A. F. Welch drew a well-deserved round of applause when she reviewed the best-seller, "Christy, " the story of a young missionary in the South which is based on the life of Author Catherine Marshall's mother.

Allen has an idea for a bit of sculpturing which is made up of many, many soup can covers. I don’t know how many be has at present, but from his des­ cription of the work of an he is engaged in, I'll bet he could use plenty more. It might be smart to contact Allen first though, because he can use only a particular type of can cover. The Braces have a new cat. Well, it really isn't a cat, but is mote or less of a kitten. The little thing seems to be developing quite a personality though. In the first place, the dam cat does not seem to get along with the meter reader man at all. When the Consumers man comes to the house the cat growls and carries on like a dog. This cat is real attached to the Brace children though, and be follows the girls wherever they go in play. When Mrs. Brace takes the kids for a ride to do the shopping or some such, the cat gets right in the car and goes along. The Braces are building an oven into the wall and there is still a bole where the oven and the wall does not quite meet. The cat gets into a game of hide-and-seek with the kids and scoots into this hole. A couple of times guests in the house have looked shocked when they saw the cat come walk­ ing out of the oven. halfway around the world; the people at home though, they expect to take care of themselves. Worse than that, we spend huge sums of money to kill people on the other side of the world, but we carp about spending just a few dollars to help someone at home. It is a strange world. I understand the VFW put over 100 stickers on bikes for the kids Saturday. It was VFW Light-ABike day and the members of the post put reflector tape on the bikes in the interest of safety. Little League baseball teams being formed •M* The people at the school missed the golden oppor­ tunity the other day when they had the boss locked in the John. They could have pretended that they didn't know he was locked in there and left him for the day, at least. Things always seem to go better around an office when the boss is not there. Superintendent Carroll Wolff got in the place and the door lock went on the fritz and be couldn't get out. It took Wayne Skedgell with a special lock pick to finally get the door open. I once had a friend whose little daughter locked herself in the bathroom. The mother stood outside the door for some time shouting instructions to the little girl (about 4 years old), but the door did not open. In panic the mother called the father, who was at work, and he came running home to help. Fur­ ther instructions on the operation of bathroom locks only seemed to confuse the little girl, so the f ire department was called. Just as the fireman stuck his head through the bathroom window the little girl turned the lock, opened the door and walked out of the room. I think the reason she came out was that she wanted to see the fire rig that was parked in the driveway. Someone lost a pair of bi-focal glasses at the Syrup Festival the other day. Postmaster Frith says that ' someone put them in the drop box at the past of­ fice. He thinks someone found them and turned them in that way. If you know of someone who lost his glasses at the Festival, tell him they can be picked up at the post office. The last day to sign up for the Little League is May 15, 1968. The age is 8 to 13.

I hope our legislators in Washington do some­ thing more than just watch the poor people march past. It is high time something is done. Most of us do not realize that there is a large segment of our population that is really in need in this, one of the richest countries in the world. The need close to home though, we tend to over­ look. People go to great ends to help poor people JUNIOR OFFICERS FFA ’ New officers were elected last week for the Fu­ ture Farmers of America.

Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien, Publishing Agency The damagei of the Red Guard NATIONAL NEWSPAPER MAPLE VALLEY NEWS NASHVILLE NEWS 4 VERMONTVILLE ECHO NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publications, Inc. Entered at the Post Office at Nashville, Michigan Barry County, as Second Class Matter EDITOR 4 PUBLISHERS John and Amy Boughton SUBSCRIPTION RATES Barry 4 Eaton Counties S3. 00 per year Elsewhere in United States >3. 60 pet year It is very difficult to assess bow much real dam­ age the Red Guard movement has done to the Chi­ nese Communist movement. In their official name, it is recognized as the Cultural Revolution. I wish to present the most recognized mistakes: 1. The whole educational system in Communist China has been disasterously interrupted for a period amounting to a total of 22 months. Regardless of the level, kindergarten, junior high and high school, or medical school, all the students were studying Chair­ man Mao's philosophy and disregarded their subject field. I think this damage will take many yean to recuperate. 2. Ninety percent of the former Chinese Com­ munist leaden and their industrial diplomatic, finan­ cial and social structure have been tragically reoranized, and ninety percent of the old party officsIs have been discredited, disgraced, or sentenced to death. 3. At the present time. Chairman Mao is able to control only the students under sixteen yean of age. Howevet, u be forces them to go back to school a­ S gain; he may lose his control to this last group, which is reallv the anarchy. 4. Chinese Communists always emphasize the Party controlling the military because milltery per­ sonnel are infamous for their corruption. Now Chair­ man Mao Tse-Tung has used his military power to make China a garrison state. Therefore, it creates the-contradictory statement of an international com­ munism. 5. The Chinese Communists have lost all their friends abroad except Albania. Red China is more isolated than ever before in international affairs. In summary, the Red Guard movement has proved that a true communistic movement can contain treachery, sabotage, theoratical persuasion. The last stage of the oommunistis approach is inevitably a military suppression and the total elimination of the inteltectual^roup, who in the communist eyes are the enemies of the state because they believe in the freedoms of thinking, expression, speech and publication.

Richardson Mrs. Myrtie Strimback celebrated her 80th birth­ day on Thursday, April 18. But such a busy person as Mrs. Strimback hardly has time to notice things like this, and she scarcely took time to lift her eyes from her embroidery work. LET US GIVE IT THAT LIKE NEW TOUCH • WHEEL BALANCING • BRAKE SERVICE WOODARD'S MOBIL SERVICE Nashville Ph. OL3-6003 Mrs. Strimback lives by herself near Highbank Creek across the road from what was known as Roush's park for many years. The park was a pet project of the late Orlo Roush. In fact, Mrs. Strimback lives in the same house for so long occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Roush. She moved here seven years ago last August from Hastings. A widow since 1940 Mrs. Strimback busied herself with flowers for several years, but more recently has had to confine her efforts to houseplana for the most part. But she does keep busy with embroidery work, and she has some beautiful work to show. Since moving to this location she has made five quilb embroider­ ing each block and setting them together. One is of the 50 states and each block contains the state's name and state flower done in the colors. Another quilt shows the. 12 months of the year, each attrac­ tively done in various colon, ana still other quila are of birds and flowers. Probably her most outstanding work is her em­ broidered "Last Supper. " She has made three of these, and the intricate work in the faces of Jesus with his disciples before the Crucifixion, on the night of his betrayal by Judas, is something of which Mrs. Strimback can be justly proud. Other work includes literally dozens of pain of pillow cases, round table cloths, towels and various other pieces. Mn. Strimback was taught to embroider by her grandmother, Mrs. Susan Shupp. "And if it wasn't Just right, my grandmother would rip it out and make me do it over, * she added, "I used to go home after school to sew carpet rags for my grandmother, too, although I never made a rug, " said Mn. Strimback. Up every morning at 6:30 a. m. Mrs. Strimback pun in a long day. She never takes a nap, and her bedtime is 10:30 p. m. The former Myrtie Hanes was born in a log cabin just a "stone's throw" from where she now lives. She moved into Nashville at the age of two with her par­ ents, William and Ann Shupp, attended the Nash­ ville school and played the organ in the Methodist church for church and Sunday schooL On September 20, 1906, she was married in Nashville to Lawrence Strimback. He was a farmer and they lived on sev­ eral farms in Barry county, near Hastings. Mr. Stiimback died February 15, 1940. Of the 12 children born to Mrs. Strimback, ten are living, Mrs. Martha Roush who lives across the road from ner mother, Mn. Velma Bryans, Mrs. Betty Lancaster, Mrs. Myr­ na Lancaster, Mrs. Rachel Wallace and Mn. Gerald­ ine Callihan, all of the Hastings area, Mrs. Margar­ et Rose of Freeport, Robert of Clermont, Fla., Rich­ ard of Santa Ana, Calif., and Harold of National City, Calif. There are 50 grandchildren, 60 great­ grandchildren and one great-great-grandson. There are five sets of twins among the grandchildren and great- grandchildren. Dinner Delayed? FLAVOR SAVER" KEEPS FOOD TABLE-READY FOR HOURS You'll atiii be able to smile after your hus­ band calls in late because you know that the dinner you prepared will stay deliciously ready to serve, done to perfection and still piping hot. That's just one of the wonderful things that happen when you have a new gas range. You see, the Cook-and-Hold Oven cooks food to your taste, then automatically turns the oven down and, without further cooking, holds your complete meal serving­ warm. Rare meat stays rare, your whole din­ ner perfect—even for latecomers. What other magical things can a 1968 Gas range do? Everything from "sensing" the doneness of your roast and shutting off the oven to precision "thinking" that makes ev­ ery pan automatic! rao-nsMu Outstanding 1968 Features...Same Wonderful Flame...See Your Bas Range Dealer, Todayl THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1968 �Professional Business DIRECTORY Church Directory N.

THURSDAY, MAY 9, IMS �Police use Chemical Mace Plan church Centennial The Board of Trustees, tne Official Board and the Centennial Committee warmly invite the public to the Kalamo Methodist Church Centennial Homecoming on Sunday, May 19, 1968 from 1:00 to 3:00 p. m. The church would be pleased to have you worship with them at this time. This promises jo be a wonderful experience. There will be worship together and this wonhip will undoubtedly bring fond memories to many as they sit in this most familiar church. No Homecoming is complete without a meal. Meat, potatoes and coffee will be furnished. Bring a dish to pass and own table service. Dinner will be served at 1:00 p. m., followed by the service. Dr. Harold A. Jayne, District Su­ perintendent of the Lansing District, plan* to at­ tend/ Kalamo The use of a tear gat-like spray by officer* of the law to temporarily immobilize an unruly sub­ ject is up for controversy in many areas. However, Nashville Chief of Police Donald Langham has, like other officers in Barry and Eaton counties, found it to be very effective, and laudes it as an ef­ fective. harmless weapon. Officer Langham uses the chemical spray called "Del-Defend", although probably one better known is manufactured under the trade name "Mace. ” "Del-Defend’ come* in a spray-type cannister, and when an officer has need for subduing a bellig­ erent person the spray can is aimed into his face. This brings teats to tne eyes of the subject and he is temporarily immobilized. The spray will carry up to 15 feet. Mr. Langham ha* used it only when the victim could not be brought under control by other means. The chemical can be washed away with clear water, and it* effect is of short duration. Police Chief Langham shows the spray-type can­ nister to Council members Ben Kenyon, Otto Dahm and Harold Norris. --Photo by Gladys Richardson Deadline is May 13 for nominating petitions The annual school election will be held on Mon­ day, June 10, 1968.

FARMER —don't miss this opportunity for extra dollars at planting time and harvest time. According to Michigan Experiment Station results, in cooperation with the Coopera tive Extension service and seed corn com­ panies, M 402-2X, a Single Cross Medium Maturity Cora has been an outstanding pro­ ducer throughout the state. —We have this corn in small flats at $15 per bushel (approximately 110, 000 kernels) and Medium flats at $20 per bushel (approx­ imately 95, 000 kernels). Using small flats can almost cut your seed cost per acre in half. Then comes your bonus at harvest time! With proper care and fettilizstioa this corn could easily out-produce your present hybrid by 10-30 bushel per acre. —CAN YOU AFFORD NOT TO TRY THE CORN ON YOUR FARM? —Also remember, if fertilizer is $10 a ton less and you're using 300 lbs per acre, you can save another $1. 50 per acre.

Harold Christiansen written bv Paul P. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien, Publishing Agency BACKSTREET BAROMETER "AS I SEE IT” The status symbol and ■ our future progress ‘ In this social and economic analysis, the status symbol has become a driving force for an individ­ ual's progress; such as, the exclusive club member­ ship, European villas, the international jet-set, and other materialistic symbols. I strongly believe in a free enterprise system. All of us strive for profit and materialistic re­ wards; however, as a member of the press and an academician, it seems it will be disasterous if we emphasize our younger generation to build a future society based upon materialistic foundations with­ out love, affection, compassion, and religious be­ liefs. I firmly believe the "hot summer" riots are more from people who are seeking the status symbols and have a deep hatred against the Establishment. In a welfare society, on many occasions we are found to emphasize materialistic success without concerning ourselves about individual's feelings and self-re­ spect. It is so easy to be misled to a false pride in seeking the status symbol without a deep conviction of moral code and ethical standards. Human beings are not able to live on materialis­ tic status symbols only. One must conbine one's goals with humanity and a religious belief. The real cultural success of a nation or a race cannot depend upon the status symbols only, because the Roman Empire, the Greek Empire, and the other Empires all have fallen down and become the ruins of the Ancient. But a man named Jesus Christ, who had no status symbol at all during his period of time, has achieved the greatest success in our West­ ern Civilization. It is the same way as Confucious in the Far East who has achieved the culture and the philosophy much more than the individuals who possess the highest status symbol. From rags to riches; from riches to rags; like a normal business cycle, but the spiritual and religious contribution will make our society a much greater society as well as a much more harmonious, happy society. NATIONAL NEWSPAPER MAPLE VALLEY NEWS NASHVILLE NEWS &. VERMONTVILLE ECHO NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publications, Inc. Entered at the Post Office at Nashville, Michigan Barry County, as Second Class Matter EDITOR & PUBLISHERS John and Amy Boughton SUBSCRIPTION RATES Barry &. Eaton Counties $3. 00 per year Elsewhere in United States S3 60 per year A Mr. P. M. Burgess of Hastings came in the oth­ er day and engaged me in a bit of talk. It seems that Mr. Burgess was a resident of Nash­ ville some years ago. As a matter of fact, he moved away some 70 years ago but he still remem­ bers a lot about the old town. He told me about the time when he was just a boy when a man was going to walk a tight-wire across Main Street. They stretched a wire from a saloon, located where the theatre is now, to a building where Keihl Hardware is located In those days they had wooden sidewalks and Mr. Burgess said the sidewalks were jammed with peo­ ple who came to watch the wire walk. When the wire walker was about half-way across the street the sidewalk, located where the cleaners is now, gave way and threw the crowd into a big pile-up of humanity. Mr. Burgess said, as he remembers it, a woman held a large piece of the sidewalk up for about twenty minutes while workers tried to get the peo­ ple out. She had fallen and a baby landed on her chest; just then a large section of the walk threat­ ened to crush the baby so she held it up. The wire walker turned around and walked back to the saloon. Mr. Burgess said also that his father worked at the Lentz Table Co. for a shilling an hour. He worked ten hours a day and six days a week. On pay day he took home $7.40. He was able to raise a family on this. I was really interested in Mr. Burgess* verbage. I have read in old papers, back about 70 to 75 years ago, references to shillings. I think the term must have been rather unique to this area. I wonder if other areas of Michigan talked in shillings, which would be half of a quarter. An Explanation Last fall Eunice Priddy and I discussed the possi­ bility of having a continuous exhibit of arts and crafts in one (or more) of the empty downtown stores. Mrs. Mildred Mater offerees the use of the Dug-Out and ir became a colorful corner spot in the community, with the various exhibits which were set up there. The frosted windows caused a stopping of the exhibit during the winter months, but with the wanner weather, the windows are a­ gain filled with a changing array of art materiaL Just last week, Loren Dingman offered the win­ dows at the Teener and these were cleaned «p and a display set up there. It seems that a word of explanation might be in order. In our discussion, Eunice and I felt that this was a way to show off and offer recognition to the local talents and also to dress up some of the emp­ ty store windows. We would like to change these exhibits about every two weeks. We would like to include arts and crafts and hobbies, in many dif­ ferent directions, giving an opportunity for all in­ terests to be recognized We feel very strongly that persons seeing what others are doing or nave done will be encouraged to try some creative ex­ pression on their own. These exhibits do not necessarily have to be con­ fined to paintings or drawings - they could branch out to include needlework, unusual bobby collec­ tions, wood sculpture, ceramics. There are still a number of empty store windows up and down the streets. Perhaps these others could also be used. Should anyone have a contribution of material and would like to help with an exhibit, please feel free to call either Eunice Priddy or me. Amy Boughton by john boughton He told also about a balloon ascension in which the parachute became entangled in a tree just as the balloon was getting under way. The balloonist was reluctant to drop because he knew the balloon would invert and go into the crowd and might injure someone. So he rode it out, working a valve eas­ ily to allow the hot air to escape and the balloon finally came down in a tree miles out in the coun - — Jerry Shoup tells me he got a birdie the hard way out on the golf course. Just as he drove his ball a bird came flying past and ran right into it. Jerry said the bird crash-landed and did not survive the mid-air collision. Harold Norris once hit a gopher in much the same way. Just as his ball went screaming down the fairway a few inches off the ground, a gopher stuck his head up out of his hole to see what was go­ ing on. WHAP - ! A very young friend of mine was explaining to me that she had had a particularly rough day. She was almost late to school, the teacher had balled her out for some reason or other, the school lunch was something she does not like to eat. "Just everything went wrong, " she said. "It must be the colored un­ derwear - every time I wear colored underwear I have an unlucky day. " Could be. The Future Farmers of America local chapter hon­ ored me by giving me the degree of Honorary Chap­ ter Farmer, at their annual banquet. I think most of us, from time to time, would like to try a hand at farming. There is something about that occupation that has an almost religious attrac­ tion. Farming, I think, brings one closer to one's God. I am certain it brings one closer to his govern­ ment. Amy says that I am a fine candidate for this de­ gree. She has trouble even getting me to mow the lawn. Letter to the Editor I feel that not only as mother of the Vermont­ ville Maple Syrup Queen, but also as a lifetime citizen of the Vermontville area and more recently of the Maple Valley community, I should express my appreciation of the last two issues of the Maple Valley News. With the exceptionally good coverage of the Ver­ montville Maple Syrup Festival and the National MaphrSyrup Queen Contest, besides recent school affairs and items of historical interest to both Ver­ montville and Nashville, I think the Maple Valley News has been most interesting and that a pat on the back or bokays to the Editor should be the or­ der of the day from all of us. I also think it would be a nice gesture on the part of our Festival Corporation, If tt has not al­ ready been done, to see that copies of these'papers are purchased and sent to all the visiting Maple Syrup Queens, to have for a keepsake or for their scrapbooks. Sincerely, Edith Benedict.

Have you ever thought of the number of auto parts that can be utilized during an emergency? A list would include the following: Tires that'll bum for hours, warming you; sun vi­ sors and hub caps that pinch-hit for shovels; a radi­ ator that becomes a thirst-quenching canteen; seats; slipcovers and floor matt that will blanket you agarnst the cold or shut out the wotst winds; mirrors, chrome and headlights which, properly used, can a­ lert search planes as far off as 30 to 50 milesjcrankcase oil and grease that'll salve your face against searing summer heat, or protect against frostbite and wmdburn. Statistics point to 38,000 nighway fatalities in 1966, but it is usually overlooked that the family car can save lives too. In emergencies, your car is a fortress. Beneath its hood and within its steel body can be found the raw materials for family survivaL Everything you really need to stay alive is avail­ able, except food, but not one motorist in a hun­ dred sees his car as a survival kit. His first inclin­ ation is to toss the keys away and set out for help. Too often he's beyond help when found, a couple of miles down the road, dead from exhaustion, heat or cold. ty or dirty, it's easily filtered. Simply tear a small square of slip cover fabric or use a handkerchief to filter the water as it drains out. Your horn can alert rescuers as far as a mile down­ wind. The flat, round top of the engine's air clean­ er subs as a tool for digging trenches or throwing up earthern windscreens. Under the hood are upwards of four gallons of oil. A quart of oil burned in a hub cap in the still air of sunrise spews a miniature atomic cloud high into the sky--a smoke signal visible for miles. Lube oil used as a salve against searing sun or frosty winds can save your skin. Every hose converts to a siphon for getting at gas­ oline in your tanks; the windshield wiper tubing can be used as an effective tourniquet for stopping bleed­ ing; the crankcase’s dip stick--a skewer for hot dogs or toast. Unbolt the hood and you've got the mak­ ings of a leanto, a sturdy heat reflective metal one at that. The glove compartment door and sunvisors double as shovels. Slip covets, floor mats and rugs can be used as blankets or clothing. Convex gage lenses can be a sun focusing fire starter—or use your cigarette lighter. The list of livesavers in the average car is inex­ haustible. All you need is a little imagination. MAY 20-24 MON—Mexican hamburg/ bun, buttered com, fruit, cookie, milk.

If it hasn't been contam­ inated by antifreeze or other additives, that's water enough, figuring a quart per person a day, to last a family of tour for four days and perhaps a week with strict rationing. Your radiator's built-in spigot is its drain cock, located on the underside of the radiator. Hub caps pinch-hit for cups. So does the carburetor cup (the glass bowl beneath many carburetors). To rid it of gasoline and residue, scour it clean with dry sand, , nature's own detergent.

Just a few weeks ago the state convention voted to accept girls, clearing the way for Gwen's admis­ sion to the group.

The need arose from the in­ crease in fire calls the past month. There were sev­ en calls, largely grass fires. These ran up the cost an extra $1, 500. Richard Chaffee purchased the Nashville Locker plant on South Main street several months ago and sought permission from the council to enlarge the slaughter house facilities already at the plant. At considerable expense he has made numerous im­ provements, but encountered certain difficulties in meeting state requirements. He is still attempting to meet the requirements, but meanwhile has open­ ed a retail meat market at the Locker plant. He appeared at the council meeting Thursday evening to report his progress. Tbe Nashville village council will seek permis­ sion from the state highway dept, to close one block on Main street in front of the fire station in order for the volunteer fire department to hold a water battle on June 27. The hours will be from 6 to 9 p. m. and the occasion will mark the opening of the three-day Harvest Festival sponsored annually by the Fire De­ partment. in August tbe two-year garbage pickup contract with Ray Shaneck will expire. The council will seek bids and act on them so there will be no interrup­ tion in the service. The President's Corner By Nashville Village President HAROLD CHRISTIANSEN Tbe editor has asked me if I would take a bit of time to write down some of my observations each week. He said he thought the people of the village would be interested in comments from the President. In the future I will try to give you some of the high points of the village council meetings. While I was walking down the sidewalk on Main street on Saturday, I was almost run down by some young boys riding bicycles. There Is an ordinance against riding bicycles on the sidewalk. Parents should caution their children against riding their bikes on the sidewalk. Next week is Michigan Week, and Monday is Ma­ yor Exchange Day. Nashville will be exchanging with Vicksburg, ft seems that Vicksburg and Nash­ ville are both investigating the possibilities of be coming fifth class cities. During Mayor Exchange Day we will be discussing this with the people In Vicksburg. With the coming of summer the little league sea­ son is upon us again. There will be eight teams in the league this year so there should be plenty of ac• tion. It helps if the boys have a good crowd to watch the games and root for them. The local Jay­ cees with the help of some other interested citizens will be cleaning up the ball diamond at the race track for practice. Will see you next week. Harold Christiansen Nashville’s Main street, which is M-66, is due for blacktopping this spring or summer. When the work is completed the street will be remarked for parking of cars. There will be some seven to nine fewer parking spaces for automobiles, but the vis­ ion at the intersections will be vastly improved. The council voted $100 toward necessary equip­ ment for the little leaguers for their summer pro­ gram. Approximately 120 youngsters will be par­ ticipating. The Chamber of Commerce and the Maple Valley Jaycees have already given cash do­ nations toward the cause. The Jaycees, made up of young men from both Vermontville and Nashville, will also assist the Vermontville youth in promoting a summer recreation program. Several persons are interested in purchasing a par­ cel of land owned by the village near the Wade Car­ penter residence on Fuller street. Advice on hand­ ling the sale of the property, surveying, etc., will be sought through the village attorney, Horace Pow­ ers, oi Charlotte. William Gibbs, who will be active in the little league program this summer visited the council to discuss the use of the old ball diamond by the youngsters, in case no other playing field can be secured. In other business, the council approved the bills, and, with representatives from tbe Jaycees, discus­ sed the condition of the dam, polution in Thornap­ ple river, and other items of general interest invol­ ving the community.

Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency An ind ividual not a number At large University campuses and the residences of large metropolitan areas, the suicide rate has in­ creased rather drastically during the last decade. We all realize there is tremendous pressure on the individual's private life in this environment. The average students are not considered or cared for as individuals unless they are in the honor col­ lege or are in die academic or social limelight. The majority of students are average students who are i­ dentified only by their student card and social se­ curity number. Their personal feelings, their in­ dividual background, their personal life, their ro­ mantic affairs or their mental conditions are unkown to anyone except themselves. This represents die life of big metropolitan residents who are living in huge apartment bouses; work eight hours a day; ride on the subways four hours a day; eat T. V. dinners; do not know their neighbors; have no friends; write egotistic, self-pretense letters to their family mem­ bers back home. But in their inner parts, they are so depressed that some of them even try to visit their psychiatrist in order to seek relief. Many of us know that a private psychiatrist requires financial resources. Many of these victims are too poor to be cared for by a pri­ vate psychiastrist. This searching is a basic element of trouble in our urban society. Individuals deserve identity and self-respect. Care and affection are the two nest remedies for mental depression. The lack of person­ al relationship will make our society resemble a cold steel machine. It is most unwise for our bureau­ cratic government officials to go into extreme auto-, mation proceedures in human relations. When I was young,. I rebelled against my parents trying to arrange marriage for me. . Now that I am older, I rebel against the magnetic tape to arrange my future plans. by John bou We went to Detroit Saturday to attend the birth­ day party for my aunt, who is 90 years old' thisi week week. Aunt Ethel is a real fan of the Detroit Tigers (that is a bunch of boys over in Detroit who have started to play ball together) and somebody told the boys this. So they sent her a colored photo of the entire team and a baseball autographed by each of the players. Aunt Ethel got a lot of gifts but she seemed most impressed with that baseball. This same aunt and a cousin got on the elevator together with a little poodle which the cousin owns. There was an elderly gentleman on the elevator al­ ready and when the women got on with the dog. Aunt Ethel smiled at him and asked, "Do you like dogs?" Not on elevators," he grumbled. News Photo I goofed again last week.... This is nothing new for me, of course, and there is hardly any need for me to admit a goof. Somehow or other I got the idea that the little girl who won the bike at the PTA Fair was Cindy Furlong; actually the girl's name is Anita Furlong. That is a Furlong of a different family. Sorry Anita... I might have got the wrong name, but you did get the bicycle. That is what really counts. Memorial Day is coming up next week. This is the time we set aside to commemorate those who have gone before us and particularly those who served our country. . A friend of mine put it nicely when he said, "Ev­ ery generation serves its country... for the right to be a FREE person in a FREE country. " We would like to say thank you to all those who have served and to those who are serving today. Another friend of mine once said that perhaps we wouldn't feel the need of a special memorial day set aside to remember the dead if we had been bet­ ter to those people when they were alive. He said it would be nice to have a special day when we are just nice and appreciative to those around us.

Eighteen members met at the old depot in Charlotte for their May breakfast. A short business meeting was held. Reports were given and the club voted to give $25 to the Centennial plan­ ning for next year. The next meeting will be at the home of Irma Kraft. After lunch everyone drove to the Owens Illinois Glass Works just north of Charlotte. A charming young man talked to the group about the work done at the plant and then conducted a tour through the spacious building. The plant was built in 1963. In 1967 they employed 430 people and now 750 peo­ ple. They make clear and amber glass containers, bottles and jars. They make 7, 000 gross a day and soon will enlarge to 15.000 gross per day. This is one of 100 plants in the United States. Some make TV tubes, Libby glasses, plastic ar­ ticles, lens for telescopes, and scientific equipment The company is a combining of the Illinois Glass and the Owens Machine that made bottles automat­ ically and called Owens Illinois Glass company. He said May was "no accident" month and visi* ton were to all wear protective glasses and not touch anything. , Students from other countries are there often, learning how these glass articles are made. They also send Americans to other countries, especially Germany, to learn of them. They have plants in England, Italy, Brazil, Venezuela, India, Japan, and used to have a $2, 000, 000 plant in Cuba. The club saw the molten glass run into presses and come out jars and bottles of different shapes and sizes, checked and rechecked, and finally pack­ ed in pasteboard boxes, which they also make, and sealed carefully with heavy plastic to keep them clean and sterile while shipping to their destination. ..Triple IIftit To Hi|k Iririq Costs.

He also served over 4 years as Special Deputy Highway Commissioner of the Michigan State Highway Department. In announcing his candidacy, Mikesell said, "My tenure with the Revenue Department gives me an insight into the tax problems of the State Of Michi­ gan. With this experience I can contribute a great deal to the District by applying such knowledge to a more equitable tax solution for alL As both de­ fense counsel and as Prosecutor of Eaton County, i have handled hundreds of cases, ranging from sim­ ple misdemeanors to First Degree Murder. The de­ terioration of respect for law enforcement and the disregard of the personal and property rights of others is of grave concern to all of us. I will do everything within my power to enact legislation to rectify this situation." Mikesell graduated from Charlotte high school in 1942. After returning from active duty with the Navy in 1947 he worked in the construction field while attending the University of Michigan and Wayne State university, graduating from the Uni­ versity of Michigan in I960 with a Degree in Polit­ ical Science ana from Wayne State University in 1953 with a Degree in Law.

Stanley M. Powell is candidate for re-election ! State Representative Stanley M. Powell. Ionia Re­ publican, has announced that he would be candi­ date fot re-election. He will seek the Republican nomination for State Representative in the 89th dis­ trict, consisting of Ionia County, the nine northeast Woodard Mobil gas station onto red townships in Barry County, the four southeast town­ ships in Kent County and the cities and villages sit­ uated therein. Mt. Powell was for a long time a recognized and respected spokesman for Michigan's major general farm organizations, the Farm Bureau and the Grange. For many years he served as the highly successful and effective Legislative Counsel of Michigan Farm Bureau, and from 1932 through 1966 he was a mem­ ber of the Executive Committee of the Michigan State Grange and served as chairman of that com­ mittee for 12 years.

He served as Representa­ tive from Ionia County during the 1931-32 Session and as Delegate to the Constitutional Convention in 1961-62. Since many of the problems coming before the Legislature have to do with implementing the new Constitution, Mr. PoweU's detailed familiarity with this document is very valuable. He was elect­ ed from the 89th House District following the reap­ portionment in 1964 and was re-elected in 1966. Representative Powell has an almost perfect at­ tendance record at House Sessions and committee meetings. He has never had an absence due to health or personal affairs and has missed only a very few roll calls and those were when some official du­ ty prevented him from being in his seat on the House Floor. A request has been received from the Recruiting Sub-Station, United States Marine Corps, Battle Creek, Michigan, to make known their desire to ob­ tain photos of ill men serving in the Marine Corps. They stated they are trying to bring their photo board up to date. They have a display of wallet­ size photos of Marines who are now serving on active duty with the address indicated under each man's photo. They would like parents to furnish them with a photo and the information about current address, etc., if one is available. These photos serve many purposes. Often they are used by newspapers with stories they receive in regard to promotions, etc. They have been placed on display in southwestern Michigan city store win­ dows, banks, etc., on special occasions such as Armed Forces Week, Veterans Day and the Marine Corps Birthday. Those who have photos are asked to send them, with the full name and current mailing address and the rank to: Sgt. William M.

B. 62, Mrewa Rhodesia, Africa 8th May, 1968 Dear Nashville and ex-Nashville friends. It doesn't seem possible that more than two years have flown by since I last left Nashville to return to Rhodesia! They have been (in most respects) happy, normal years—for it seems to be normal to have so much work that it constantly hangs over one, mak­ ing one feel guilty to even think of recreation or even letter-writing I Our Mrewa H. S. now has about 200 students in all four years, with a full-time staff of ten teach­ ers and a school secretary. Seven of the staff are Africans, graduated with degrees in U. S. A. One of these is a wife and mother wno teaches all the Chemistry in the upper classes as well as Home Ec for all the girls. All of them and the three of us white single teachers have great fun and fellowship together. You might be surprised if you walked through our school to meet four of our boys.- two midgets with badly deformed legs, an albino, and one who hurls himself along the veranda with his homemade crutch at a great rate, often vaulting himself from the ground up over the high wall, and always with a merry and rather mischievous twinkle in his eye! As they are all good-natured, asking no concessions for themselves, and the rest treat them like every­ one else with no bullying or ridicule, we all have happy times together. During sports periods they play indoor games such as checkers and dominoes. Last year when the Government Teacher Training College at Gwelo sent four of their students to us to do their practice teaching, I was delighted to find that three of them had been in my high school class­ es at O. Um tali before I moved to Mrewa. One was Paul Kasambira, one of the younger brothers of the Mr. Daniel Kasambira who spoke in the Methodist church in Nashville just before he returned to Rho­ desia with his family. And this year in Gwelo's group of four were two of our Mrewa pioneer class, u is a joy to see their growth and promise. While! was on furlough it was decided to change our school over from Latin to French, but in August 1966, the French teacher left. Since no other French teacher was available and I can't teach French, we had to change back to Latin. While I enjoy teaching the first two yean of Latin, I had done almost nothing beyond that. So I've been bon­ ing all die time to keep up with the upper class work, on top of two large sections each of 9th and 10th Latin and all the 10th grade algebra. To add to the fun I got 14 students through 9th and 10th grade Latin in one year, and now am trying to get three ■ of the 12th grade boys through 11th and 12th grade Latin also in one year; i. e. they hope to do four years' work in two. They are keen and eager and I DON'T with your Car e don't take "short-cuts" in aligning wheels. You know it's done right when you have them aligned here. Trowbridge Sales & Service 130 S.

They are a joy to teach but it requires extra periods on Saturdays and holi­ days, and keeps me on the jump to keep up with three Latin set-books. Speaking of Latin, reminds me of Miss Mary L S urine who taught me in H. S. Georgia Bassett of Lansing wrote me recently that Mrs. Ray Ireland had told her that Miss Surine died in February this year. I wondered if you had all heard. Faye and I have tried to get our lawn and garden nice, and even now we have lovely poinsettias, car­ nations and roses, but Mrewa is in one of the worst hit sections of a very severe drought area. Every drop of water is stretched and used over and over. We hope and pray that there will be enough for drinking and cooking so we can complete tne school year. We save the bath and laundry water and are trying to save the carnations and roses. One of my joys of late years is the large number of my ex-students (who are also dear friends) who are here at Mrewa in places of leadership; includ­ ing a H.S. teacher, tne school manager and his wife, the headmaster of the grade school, our min ­ ister and his wife, three grade school teachers, and the electrician. I feel like grandmother with my children and grandchildren around me. They are fine people and leaders in die church as well as in the community. Thank you for letters, personal gifts, and gifts for the work from Nashville and Barryville churches and from personal friends. I do appreciate the gift of the Nashville News, as it keep me in contact with you all. As a result,.Nashville is still one of my homes and you would be surprised how often I visit you all there. I just heard I had Mrs. Pfaff to thank for that. Thanks, too, for the gift of used, old Methodist Hymnals that came recently, as well as the brand new one for my personal use. They will bring great joy to many wno share in their use. Last Sunday evening we invited a newly married couple and his mother for an evening of music; records, guitar, vo­ caL How much they enjoyed it! I expect to leave for furlough just after Christmas 1969, and have all of 1970 in U. S. A. It will be good to see you then and to bear between times. Lovingly, Edith Parks. P. S.

Michigan Ave. Hertings, Michigan �Ten baseball teams begin 1968 season Memorial Day parade plans completed for villages The communities of Vermontville and Nash­ ville have made plans for the holding of Memorial Day services. The American Legion Post 222 in Ver­ montville and the VFW Post 8260 in Nashville will plan the activities for the observance. On Sunday, May 26th members of the American Legion Post in Vermontville will attend a special church service at the Congregational church. This service will be a combined service between the Methodist church and the Congregational church and both ministers will take part. The service will begin at 11:00 a. m. On Thursday, May 30. parades and special ser­ vices will be held at the cemeteries. In Nashville the parade will begin at the bridge at 10:00 a. m. Rev. C. C. Gibson will conduct the short service there. At the service dedicated to the firemen. Father Raymond Moeggenburg will take part. Chris King from Vermontville, will be the spec­ ial speaker In services held at the Lakeview ceme­ tery. Rev. Earl Frost will give the invocation. Members of the Junior Maple Valley band, the VFW Post members and Auxiliary, Boy and Girl Scouts and Brownies will make up the parade. In Vermontville, activities will begin at 9:30 with commemorative services at the river, with William Stanton presiding. The parade will form at the Michigan National Bank corner at 10 a. m. and a special prayer will be said at the Congrega­ tional church, with Wilbur Walsh presiding. Rev. Leonard Maunder will be the special speak­ er for the services at the Woodlawn cemetery. The Senior Maple Valley band will march in the Vermontville parade this year. The Tri-County BasebaU league will open their 1968 season on Sunday, May 26, with ten teams participating. The season will run through the sum­ mer ending on August 18, followed by a three game series between the North and South division of the league to determine the league champion. The Southern division of the league is composed of teams from Pewamo, last year's league cham­ pion, Portland, Vermontville, Lowell and Hub­ bardston, a newcomer to the league. Hubbardston will replace the Lansing entnr who withdrew after one year in the league. Hubbardston, one of the hottest baseball teams in the past, has regained some of its baseball interest with the encourage­ ment and leadership of such men as Al Cunning­ ham, Village president, and also Harold Case ana Keith Clark, who will act as co-managers of the new entry. The Northern half of the league has teams from Belding. 1967 Division champion, Sidney, Perring­ ton, Lakeview and Sheridan. The Tri-County league, starting their twelfth consecutive season has been scouted regularly by major league scouts for the past two years. Last year the Detroit Tigers signed Tim Grisdale, Per­ rington pitcher, to a Tiger contract and is now pitching in the Tiger farm system. As in the past, the West Michigan Umpire's As­ sociation will furnish the umpires for the league. Spec ial crop p I anting program will be he Id EXTENDED SCHOOL A 12-month school year will be adopted by the Durand School District in the fall of 1969. The dis­ trict, located between Flint and Lansing, has an enrollment of 3, 000. Progress of the extended school year will be closely observed by professional educators and school officials throughout the state. It is believed to be the first year-round program used by a Michigan district since 1934. Although similar plans are under study, Durand is the only district to begin definite implementation of such a system. Details have to be worked out, but the general concept is that students will attend only the 180 days of school per year required by law. Vacations would be staggerea to smooth operation of the plan. A committee of educators, civic leaders and par­ ents will determine the most workable program. Problems such as coordinating vacations for fam­ ilies with many school children and increases in teachers' salaries will also be studied. The com­ mittee will consider four basic programs and vari­ ations from each: an 11-month operation; a quar­ terly system; a tri-mester system; and a "stagger­ ing-type” plan which involves a complex system ofclasses. Reduction in overall costs is usually cited by ad­ vocates of a 12- month school year. Arguments in favor of such a plan include: use of school buildings throughout the year; full-time employment of teachers; smaller classes; diminishing need for new buildings; full use of facilities by communities. But it is not assured that these benefits will result. While favoring a pilot program like Durand's, the Michigan Education Association worries about pitfalls of ithe 12-month system. Rather than the tour-quarter system or the 11-month operation, the MEA feels an "extended summer school program" is more effective. Karl Ohlendorf, assistant executive secretary of the MEA, points out that while the association fa­ vors experimentation in education, studies in Geor­ gia, Florida and California have largely disproved that cost-savings theory. However, the most re­ cent study is 10 years olo. All have been conduct­ ed in warm climates, which adds air conditioning to the costs of summer sessions. Ohlendorf admits, "Just because the plans haven't worked in other areas does not mean that it won't work in Durand. But expected savings won't necessarily occur. * There is much evidence to support the MEA's con­ tention. Tear-round sessions can cause many problems for both school district and families. Vacation scheduling becomes difficult. New schools must still be built near new residential areas, or pupils must be transported to existing facilities, an ex­ pensive operation. Janixon do not have the summer months for Involved maintenance work on floors, desks, plumbing, etc. . Cora foe both labor and overhead rise when schools are open all year. Students who attend school for 11 month periods could conceivably graduate at 14 years of age. This would cause problems in employment and entering college. Absenteeism is likely to rise. With one-fourth of all pupils always "on vacation, " there may be A giotei temptltloQ among thooe tfn/Vrtft in yJhna] to skip rt asset. For these and ocher reasons, the MEA favors ex­ School districts benefit since officials can use summer months to plan curricula, programs and policies for the coming school year. People bene­ fit since they can utilize school facilities for en­ richment programs, recreation, work acceleration and student makeup for loss of credit. The conventional nine-month school year e­ volved when society was agriculturally oriented. Youngsters were needed during the summer to help with the planting, unding and harvesting of crops. This need is no longer important, but the ninemonth school system has remained. School officials in Durand note that the yearround system is currently in operation in New York and Florida. Community and teacher participation in planning the Durand program may make it more acceptable. If the move does prove successful, oth­ er Michigan districts will certainly consider adopt­ ing the 12-month system. Ame r lean Legion to hold public in it iat ion John Wood, Eaton County Commander of TheAmerican Legion, has announced, as The American Legion membership increases rapidly by returning Vietnam veterans,, there will be a public initia­ tion of all new members at the Charlotte high school football field, May 25, at 7:00 p. m.

( He was surprised to see us but not so surprised •that he couldn't think on his feet. He stood there with his arms full of evidence and said, "Look what I picked in my own back yard." Amy and I both expressed pleasure that be had such pretty flowers in nis yard and be went away, no doubt thinking we are a lot dumber than we really are.. ? . II \ George Kellogg stopped in Saturday afternoon to report to me that four Kids were sitting in a canoe beside the road where Thornapple Lake road crosses the rivet. These kids waved him down and asked him to please call me to tell me where they were. I bad put them in the river at the dam and told them that I would leave the station wagon at the bridge at Greggs Crossing. Since these kids are from out of town (they are senion at Michigan State)and didn't know Greggs Crossing from a cross-eyed cat, I told them to go until they came to the fiat bridge. Somehow they completely missed the fiat bridge and went to the second one. Perhaps the fact that two of the kids are boys and the other two are girls had something to do with their going under abridge and not even seeing it.____ Amy and I went to the Product of the Year Award luncheon Friday. I am on the committee, so I thought I should be there. I'm glad we went too, because it was a beautiful lunch. The product of the year is a device manufactured by the Saginaw Steering Gear Division of General Motors. They have perfected a new lock to lock the wheel and the shift lever of an automobile. More than fatty experienced rug hooken in au­ thentic costumes will demonstrate their craft from 10 a. m. to 5 p. m. on the Village Green at Green­ field Village on June 9, according to a release from the Ford Museum. Rugs will be on display at that time. As this is being written, the last word I have on Sam Sessions is that he has qualified for Indy. A day or so ago he hit the wall as he was attempting to qualify. Sam has had a bit of bad luck with that track. For two years in a row he has not been able to get the car out to qualify because of mechanical difficulties. - Notice - by John boughton At least be was able to walk away from the car after it hit the wall, so Sam is all right. Sometimes those mechanics can get a car back together after it takes quite a banging around. Good luck to Sam this year. We would like to mention here what a fine job of school news reporting we have had this year from Vickie Lundstrum. We have had so many nice com­ ments about this column and we have been pleased to have this additional school news. Thanks, Vick­ ie, for a job well-done. Army Private Gearold J.

Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency Enjoy each other’t company When I was in Washington the ocher day, I saw two groups picket in front of the White House. One yelled for Black Power; the other raised the flag and said, "We shall kill all the Red sympathizers. * These incidents have caused me deep thinking as to how similar these groups are. First, they all would like to destroy each other. One considers the white men are not suited for survival; the other feels no one should be permitted to live if one is not 100 percent proof anti-communist. The Chinese Communisa celebrated the late President Kennedy's death for a period of three weeks in Peking, and the leader of the extreme right group expressed a sense of pleasure on the same occasion. The tragic death of a man, Manin Luther King, has been celebrated both by the Chi­ nese Communisa as they proclaimed, "we shall joy for the achievement of justice to the racial traitor and by the extreme right group who also considered justice was done for a no-good Negro trouble-mak­ er. Most extreme groups who use smear attacks arc happy to dig into their political enemies' personal background. Both of them are not willing to discuss the issues by the personality part of these groups. They are anxious to act as private detectives tor blackmail pteposea. However, they will exercise their abusive authority to choke off the freedom of thepress. The membeo of these two groups are most un­ happy beings. They either are mentally ill or emotiooally disturbed. They ay to use this political ac­ tivity as a novelty as a safety valve to maintain their partial sanity. Both of these groups will not compromise in any issue. They advocate and pro­ fess for 99. 7 pure with double standards of their moral code. Most of these groups are willing to take advantage of their financial gains. The de­ manding of high political contributions and the use of these funds for their private personal use are com­ mon. I do realize a nation cannot survive without the extremists. However, the extremisu alienate the 80$S> of the neutral people who have no political knowledge or ambition. Extremisu also discourage the majority of people to participate in politics be­ cause of the fear of personality assertion. I think these two groups are menaces to society. Especi­ ally, at the present time, they spend a great deal of fortune trying to infiltrate each other. Therefore, it will be a aemendous service to the public life to expose these sadistic, mentally unbalanced extremistsbefore they destroy our democratically stru c Joseph Stalin carried a membership card of the Zarist secret police. Therefore, to him either way, win or lose, the communist party in Russia is not im­ portant. Today, I think we win fare the same dif­ ficulties in our government affairs. If we look deep­ er into our left wingea who are identified as patri­ otically conservative and are membeo of tbs fed­ eral powen of investigation, they are having a tremendously important roll in leftwing organiza­ tions. I sincerely hope that the majority of the pub­ lic will recognize tne dangerous kind of tendency which is the devise of foreign powea who are try­ ing to destroy the soundness of our demoocratic slt- If you have... been on a trip... entertained guests ... celebrated a birthday... married your secre­ tary... caught a big fish... moved... had a baby.. sold your cows... bad an operation... bought a car... painted your bouse.. had company.. .been married... cut a tooth... died... sold out... been robbed... been shot...

STOP HERE FOR TOP MEAT BUYS Letter to the Editor The following is a letter received by Mrs. Clar­ ence Shaw from Rev. Wendell Bassett, Executive Director in the United Methodist Church. Dear Bernice, This is a case of where a "hobby interest" b e comes a vocation. It is the third time in my life. First, my interest in the church and her youth functions took me from the service department of an automotive manufacturer, into the Christian ministry. Second, my attraction and activity in inter-de­ nominational work took me into the Michigan Coun­ cil of Churches as its Executive Director. This fol­ lowed two years as the president of the Council. Third, my interest concern for the aging of the church-related homes that care for them brought me into close ties as secretary of Haven Hubbard Home for fourteen years, ana as secretary-treasurer of the Central Committee - Midwest Homes cover­ ing twenty states. Now the call by the General Board of Hospitals and Home Ministries of the new United Methodist Church, as associate director in the department of Promotion and Church Relations. The major offices of the United Methodist Church are in Nashville, Tennessee, New York, Washing­ ton, D. C., and Evanston, Illinois. The Board of Health and Welfare Ministries hold office at 1200 Davis Street in Evanston. We will be living just one block away at 1121 Church Street. My work will take me from California to New York as a guiding counselor to the former Evangeli­ cal Unitea Brethren Church Homes for Children and Aging during the union-transition period. Other as­ signments will be for the development of Health and Welfare Ministries organizations in all annual conferences of the new church. The General Board of Health and Welfare Minis­ tries is the official agency of the United Methodist Church providing direct services to persons in need. These ministries are carried through nearly 300 health and welfare agencies related to the Board. They include hospitals, homes for the aging, homes for children and youth, and homes for business wom­ en in 43 states and the District of Columbia. The full-time personnel required to staff these health and welfare agencies number approximately 50,000, with an additional 16, 000 docton and part-time staff. These persons, together with a great army of volunteen, provide a combined force through which the church's healing ministry is brought to those in need. Approximately three million people are help­ ed by these ministries annually. We will move July 1. 1968. Transition of posi­ tion is July 15, 1968. Greetings and love, Wendell (Rev. Wendell C. Bassett, D.D. Executive Director) THURS. AND SAT 9 A.M. - 5:30 P. M. FRIDAY 9 A.M. to 9 P. M.

Burton, D, who served in the Michi­ gan Legislature during 1965-66 has announced his intention to seek te-election as representative from District 56 in primary and coming elections..! Mt. Burton, who co-sponsored many bills benefi­ cial to the people of the state of Micnigan, said, ” I am unduly alarmed at conditions in the state and nation today, when at any moment a neighbor's house may t>e put to the torch. We need represen­ tatives who are concerned with this and other acts of violence and the needs of our elderly citizens. These are some of the reasons I am seeking re-el­ ection to the office I once held. " He said, "One of the bills of which I co-sponsored in 1965 was a bill enabling senior citizens to obtain $2, 500 tax "exemption on homes w h 1 c h have less thana $20, 000 cash value. District 56 embraces all of Eaton County except Oneida Township and the city of Grand Ledge, and includes Calhoun County with the cities of Marshall and Albion including Lee, Marshall, Marengo, Fre­ donia, Sheridan ana Clarence Townships. Mr. Burton bases his candidacy as the "people’s choice, ” one who knows and understands the prob­ lems in the State of Michigan, and feels, if elected he will endeavor to help save the State thousands of dollars now being spent by our State Legislature which includes high salaries for senators and repre­ sentatives. His endeavors in various fields include work in ce­ ment plants, railroads, foundries, department stores and farming provides him with a better knowledge of every day problems which he feels is a necessary in­ fluence in our State CapitoL ______ Charlton Park will be open to the public, start­ ing Memorial Day. There will be a charge to enter the park. A daily permit is $1. 00 and Barry County residents may buy annual permit for $3. 00. Although there will be no camping, many other popular activities will be available. Picnicing, swimming and fishing will top the list. "Grandpa" Birch, a long time Indian and park resident, will return. Mr. Harvey Versteeg has been named Museum Director. He will help develop the museum village. One of the first activities for the public will be an old fashioned barn raising, hopefully in early July. CLAUDE E. BURTON Mindful of every need, heedful of every wish Mi. Burton resides on a 232 acre farm near Belle­ vue and has developed it with hard work into what is known as Squash Hill and which has attracted people from 28 states since 1962 during the months of Sep­ tember and October. He has many civic interests and is currently president of the Eaton County Histor­ ical Society, Master and Grange Deputy of the Eaton County Grange. He is a member of the State Affairs Committee of the Michigan State Farm Bureau. We deeply honor the confidence placed in us at time of sorrow. Faithfully we observe every wish, meet every need, including a regard for financial consideration.

MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, MAY 30, 196B 013-2511 BINOCULARS BUXTON Jewelry Boxes �George Frith named to village Council George Frith was appointed Nathville village trus­ tee Thursday evening by village president Harold Christiansen. He replaces Henry Fedewa who died May 13 while serving his second term on the coun­ cil. Frith will serve until the next election inMarch 1963. The appointment was confirmed by the coun­ cil Frith was sworn in by village clerk, Mrs. Ada SkedgeU. Christiansen appointed Sam Hamilton to the board of appeal which served in conjunction with the Zoning Commission. Hamilton will replace Christiansen'who was a member of the board at the time he became village president. The council voted to refund a $60 bond to J i m Erwin. It is understood this will be returned to the village next September. Erwin, street superinten­ dent, was arrested last month in connection with the malicious destruction of property under $100 and on an assault and battery charge which ensued. Erwin has been cleared of the assault and battery charge, but the malicious destruction of shooting a dog will come up during the September term of court. Erwin was following instructions of Police Chief Don Langham at the time of the incident. Upon advice of Village Attorney Horace Powers of Charlotte, the village will accept offers, in writ­ ing, on a piece of property owned by the munici­ pality near the Wade Carpenter residence on Fuller street. The land is approximately 350 by 200 feet. A committee of Harold Norris, Otto Dahm and Frank Scramlin was appointed to handle the details. The "S" curve over the New York Central rail­ road on East Reed street has been revamped to al­ low better visability. School buses and other large vehicles can now approach the crossing in a more direct manner and can view the track both left and right. The new arrangement win, however, slow down traffic at this point. In the future restrictions concerning parking o n the village streets between the hours of 2 and 6 a. m., parking in aUeys, and, in a few instances of parking between the sidewalk and pavement, win be strictly enforced. For financial reasons the village some time ago decided to forego work on aHeys throughout the vil­ lage, especially in the removal of snow. However, they are not to abandon them, and no property own­ er is to block off any alley. The village will fur­ nish chloride to anyone who wishes to spread it in aHey but the work wiU not be done at tne expense of the village. The street department wHl do what it can to assist in maintaining the alleys, but other work will be given priority. In view of the fact that as many as 100 calls a week are coming in concerning dogs running at large in the village, the police department warns dog owners they must keep the animals restricted at all times. Gardens are Being overrun, and shrub­ bery and flowers are suffering extreme damage.

E. Smith and Mary Cary. Mr. Randall Dekker, social worker with the Bar­ ry Extension Unit, made an evaluation of the clin­ ic's operation in Barry County during the past six months. The clinic personnel other than Mr. Dekker includes: Mr.. John Hocking, psychologist; Dr. Crea­ tor, psychiatrist, on a once-a-month basis; and Mrs. Dorothy Barnum, secretary. The staff time has been primarily demoted to diag­ nostic services. During this first six-month period there have been severity-five referrals for service. Forty-two families have been served and there is presently a waiting period for service of approxi­ mately three months. It would help the clinic if people who are unable to keep appointments would let Mrs. Barnum know prior to their appointment. This way someone else may be scheduled to fill the appointment time. While it is felt that the operation has been sue cessful, there are still many needs to be met. The offices presently being usefl are provided by the Special Education Office. More sound proof space is needed. The next meeting of the committee will be June 10th at 8:00 p. m. tn the Special Education office. Mrs. Gerald Kent and Mrs. Ben Kenyon, co­ chairmen for the 1968 Cancer Drive wish to thank everyone who worked on the Drive and to everyone in the village whp gave so generously.

N., general chairman of the topical flouride committees. Clinics are scheduled in Woodland, Hastings, Middleville, Delton and Nashville. Nashville's clinic will be held at the Fuller Street school, Aug­ ust 20 through the 28th. About 775 children are enrolled in the program, which consists of 4 visits to the clinic. At the first visit, the teeth are cleaned and a solution of flour­ ide is applied directly to the surfaces of the teeth. The flouride application only, is then repeated on the next three clinic visits. Although topical flouride reduces tooth decay by about forty percent it should not be considered a substitute for regular care of teeth at home or by the dentist. It is still necessary, for children to brush their teeth thoroughly, particularly after meals, avoid between-meal sweet snacks, and vis­ it their dentist regularly for professional care.

It is a great accomplishment just to get into the big race at Indy. To finish it is really something. Only the very top race drivers of the world are able to qualify for the SOO and of those who get into the race a good number do not finish it for one reason or another. Sam was not only good enough to qualify this year, but be was able to stick it out through the race... something that takes a bit of doing and not just a little luck. Sam has had some bad luck at Indianapolis in the past. He has not been able to qualify in past years because of troubles with the cars. One year it w as clutch trouble and next motor trouble. Even this year it looked bad when the wind took him into the wall as he attempted a qualifying run on Saturday. But things came out right for Sam. He was able to qualify and he was able to come in 9th in the big race.... and that is really something. Some big city friends of ours came to see us on Memorial Day and guess what they got the biggest kick out of? The parade. These people are originally from the New York area and they now live in Kalamazoo. They and their kids never get to see a Memorial Day parade or to listen to the speeches in the cemetery. They were real impressei by john boughton A friend of mine expressed wonder as to just which day was summer this year. He said he is almost cer­ tain it is one of the days just past but he is not sure just which one it was. I’m not sure either, but I do think he is right a­ bout it being one of those days when the tempera­ ture got up m the seventies. It hardly seems possible that this is the last week of school. One of the trees in our yard does not yet have all its leaves. Maybe this is just a late year. I heard4 professor from Michigan State saying the other day that he believes we have changed the climate of toe entire world with the polutants we are putting in the air. He thought that perhaps the jet planes nave made a layer of poluting gas in the atmosphere and this makes a filter that blocks out certain rays of the sun, making the world cold. I hope he is wrong, but his theory sounds logical. The big "It's A Girl! ” sign in Erwin's Stop &Shop this week made the announcement bright and clear. Congratulations are in order for the couple. Veterans are eligible for educational assistance A special opportunity to earn and learn is now a­ vailable to Vietnam veterans, the Veterans Admin­ istration advised recently. Special non-competitive "transitional appoint­ ments" now permit new veterans with limited edu­ cation to go to school under the GI Bill and to work for the Government at the same time. Robert M. FitzGerald, manager of the Veterans Administration's regional office in Detroit, explain­ ed that the non-competitive appointments can be made through the first five Civil Service grades-providing the veteran has less than one year of training beyond high school and has the job qualifi­ cations required. To secure such an appointment, the veteran must agree to take at least the equivalent of one full school year of education or training. If this does not give the veteran jt highschool diploma, or its equiv­ alent, an expanded program would be worked out. While the Government has several pay systems, the general salary schedule for the first five Civil des runs from $3, 776 to $5, 565 -- higher scheduled pay raise this July. In addile veteran going to school, say half . d receive another $60 a month under the GI BilL The rate is $130 a month for a full time single student. Jaycees will sponsor local fishing contest All boys and girls who live in the Maple Valley School district are eligible to enter a fishing con­ test this summer sponsored by the Jaycees. There is no entry fee. The fish must be caught by the boy or girl in Michigan public waters, and the fish must be meas­ ured at the Riverside Bait Shop in Nashville. Prizes will consist of a $7. 60 certificate at the Riverside Bait Shop. The contest closes September 15, 1968. Types of fish and minimal sizes eligible for the contest are as follows: Bluegill &. Sunfish Bass Pike 0 - 12 years 13 - 18 years 8 inches 12 inches 24 inches 8 1/2 inches 14 inches 30 inches Mr. FitzGerald pointed out that men who finish high school have an easier time finding a good job and earn, on the average, about $2, 500 a year more than men with only a grade school educationat least $1,000 a year more than those who do not finish high schooL Veterans who attend high school under the GI Bill do not lose any of their eligibility for college train­ Provisions can be worked out for a veteran either to work pan time and go to school full time, or work full time and go to school pan time. Gener­ ally a student would have to cany at least 25% of the normal school workload. While a few jobs require veterans to pass written tests, many (including the trades, crafts and labor­ ing jobs) do not. Under the program, the veteran works for at least one year under the transitional appointment. Then, if the veteran's performance on the job is satisfac­ tory, the transitional appointment may automati­ cally become a regular appointment when the vet­ eran shows the agency he has completed his educa­ tion plan. Veterans must have had at least 181 consecutive days of active duty, some part of it after August 4, 1964, to be eligible for transitional appointments. Generally, veterans will be eligible for such ap­ pointments for one year after discharge or one year after February 9, 1968, (the date President Johnson signed the appointment authority), whichever is la­ ter. Veterans may contact any government agency they prefer. Or they may secure further information from any office of the Qvil Service Commission or the VA, or at one of the 21 US Veterans Assistance Centers (USVACs). The Detroit USVAC is located at 210 Gratiot at Library. Charged with rape Richard Floyd Smith. 31, 508 S. Main Street, Vermontville, has been charged with statutory rape. The alleged offense was committed against a 13­ year old Nashville girl. Smith was picked up May 27 by Nashville Police Chief Donald Langham. He was taken to the Eaton county jail and bond was set at $1,000 which was not furnished. ** He waived examination before Judge L. E. Barnett in Circuit Court, Hastings and the case was set over to the September term at court. "AS I SEE IT” written by PaulP. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency ” DeGaulle and the Chinese Communists It is a clear indication from the recent uprising in France and the continuous unrest in Saigon's China­ town that the Chinese Communists are trying to uti­ lize all their international influence in an effort to sabotage the peace talks between the United States and the North Vietnamese governments in Paris. It has also been reported from the Far Eastern area that the Chinese Communists have infiltrated to some ultra-conservative group in Europe and Asia while trying to create a hate feeling for the United States and North Vietnamese government to esca­ late the war in the Far East. Therefore, the Ameri­ can casualties in Vietnam have increased during the peace talks. The most interesting fact that has been revealed in Europe is the carrying of Mao's Red Book by French workers and students during their demonstra­ tion. Since General DeGaulle has recognized Re d China, the Chinese Communists have opened many commercial concerns such as department stores, ex­ port and impon businesses. These are actually spyoriented fronts. The Chinese Communists have pull­ ed in a tremendous amount of financial aids to these demonstrations. According to a Peking radio announcement, the revulutionary forces of students and labor forces in France are inspired by Mao's theories. v I believe it is a good lesson for Communist sym­ pathizes to learn there is no true friendship ever able to be established with the Chinese Communists if it concerns mutual respect and understanding. Evidence has proved this, such as: the Chinese Com­ munists' attack on India, the Chinese Communists' attempt to overthrow Kruschev, their encourage­ ment of the revolt against DeGaulle, their aggres­ sive attitude in Hong Kong, and most recently the Chinese Communist movement in the Middle East area by sending volunteers to Egypt for the elimin­ ation of IsraeL Especially at the present time, the Chinese Communists have tried to purge American citizens who have a Jewish ancestry and have start­ ed a strong anti-Jewish movement in Asia. I The President's Corner By HAROLD CHRISTIANSEN Village President The improvement at the Reed Street railroad crossing will make a safer crossing and you can see from either way. I made a tour of the Sewage plant last Friday morning and was amazed at the pumps, tanks and the different tests that have to be performed each day before the residue reaches the river and also the tests that have to be made from different points up and down the river. There has to be so much oxygen in the overflow as it reaches the river. The sewer lines as they enter the plant are 22 feet under ground and the big holding tank is 36 feet in depth with two large sludge pits. It would be well worth any citizen's time to go through the plant. Bill Cassidy is on duty every morning and will be glad to explain the process of our system. It is truly amazing.

Mr. Babcock is presently Chief of Police in East Grand Rapids. He was associated with the State Po­ lice in Lansing for approximately 30 years. He was accompanied by his wife, the former Vivian Appelman. Mr. Babcock addressed the group and talked brief­ ly about last year's disturbances in various cities in regard to racial violence. He stated how the servi­ ces of the Fire Departments, the Police Departments and the National Guard were used to help quiet these disturbances. When asked how the local citi­ zen could help along these lines, he stated they could, help by, 1, staying home, and 2, not repeat­ ing any ugly rumors as violence is often a result. Mr. Babcock also stated that he felt the individual should re-evaluate his own feelings and make an at­ tempt to learn to live by the rule of brotherhood. A discussion period followed Mr. Babcock's talk. In the business of the Chamber, president George Vogt conducted the business meeting. He appointed Nelson Brumm chairman for the July 20 meeting which will be held at Camp Thornapple. A sugges­ tion was made to invite members of the MapleV al­ ley Jaycees and their families to attend this com bined picnic. The Centennial celebration will be held on June 27, 28 and 29 in 1969. The Chamber of Commerce will be in charge of a program for Saturday after­ noon and evening during this time. Harry Johnson, Al Smith, Hubert Lathrop and Harold Christiansen were appointed to take charge of providing for this program. Mrs. Wilma DeCamp was appointed chairman for the committee to judge beards during the centenn­ iaL Others on her committee include Helen Ackett, Rose Smith and Gerry Dingman. Mr. Vogt also mentioned that the next Centenn- ' ial meeting would be on Wednesday, June 19 at the Fuller Street ScbooL Guest for this meeting will be Mrs. Huffman who will show movies and tell of the Centennial celebration held last year at Lakeview. A supper will be held for Mrs. Huffman and other guests at 6:30 at Foote's Cafe. Forrest Babcock told of the plans for the Fire • men's Homecoming celebration on June 27, 28 and 29. He said he felt they had one of the best cele­ brations planned this year. Max Kelley, as head of the retail committee, said his group had been work­ ing on a project in conjunction with the Homecom­ ing celebration. Students receive degrees Mr. and Mrs. Burr Fasten attended the Commence­ ment exercises at Ferris State College Sunday after­ noon ar which time their son, Nyle, received bis B.

Nashville firemen plan Homecoming celebration Fire Chief Forrest Babcock has announced plans for this year's Homecoming Celebration. It will be­ gin on Thursday, June 27th with a gigantic water battle at 7:00 pm in front of the Fire Barn on Main Street. The 3-day festival will feature something of in­ terest to all ages, from the wide variety of rides and concession stands, to a parade sponsored by the Jaycees, an Amateur talent show, an Ox Roast, drawings for prizes and ending with the biggest fire­ works display they have ever had. Friday will be designated as Kid's Day and Friday evening at 8:00 the Amateur show will be held. Saturday morning will have pony pulling and trac­ tor pulling contests. The parade at 2:00 Saturday af­ ternoon will have ponies, antique cars and many un­ usual attractions and will be under the direction, this year, of the Maple Valley Jaycees. The Ox Roast, a popular feature of the Firemen's Homecoming, will begin at 4:00. Saturday evening will provide an opportunity for the winners Friday of the Amateur Show to perform. This will begin at 8:00 p. m. The drawing will be held at 9:30 and the fileworks display is scheduled for 10 pm.

The annual Harvest Festival is held to raise mon­ ey for the smaller equipment needed by the local fire fighters.

The Senior High Band members, new freshmen students and all interested adults are to meet at the High School on Tuesdays, at 7:30 p. m.

Village Council discusses new garbage contracts The Nashville village council opened bids on gar­ bage pick-up at Thursday night's meeting. There were two. bids, one from Ray Shaneck whose threeyear contract expires August 1, and the other from the Charlotte Disposal Service operated by Edwarrf C. Baker. Each bid was for a three-year period, and both bidden will provide a dump for those taking the service. The Shaneck bid was for $13, 800 and the Baker bid for $9, 072. After considerable discus­ sion the bids were referred back to committee for further study and will be acted upon at the June 27 meeting. In order to discourage outsiders from using the village dump on Casgrove street, undoubtedly i t will be necessary to issue car stickers or provide a card for those entitled to use the dump. This meas­ ure is to be studied further, and new rulings will go into effect on August 1 when the new garbage con­ tract is let. Chief of Police Donald Langham has had numer­ ous complaints of motorcycles, jeeps and even au­ tomobiles climbing the standpipe hill in Putnam park. The council will install signs at the bottom of the hill prohibiting all motor vehicles from this area. The State Highway Department has granted per­ mission for the Jaycees to hold a one-hour parade on Saturday, June 29, during the annual Harvest Festival sponsored by the Nashville Volunteer Fire Department. The paying of bills, reading communications and ocher routine business took up the remainder of the council session. Nashville Volunteer Firemen are working on plans for their annual Homecoming celebration for June 27, 28 and 29. Money earned from this project will add needed equipment to the department. --News Photo �Where have you gone Joe DeMaggio? itor’s Note: The following address was given by Dr. Walter lomas, director of the project of student values the Grand Rapids public schools, at graduation ercises June 6 for 85 Maple Valley seniors. We felt the address was so outstanding that we ked to re-print it for all to read. We feel that e time taken to read it will be time well-spent. Simon and Garfunkel wail the intriguing theme ng from the controvertible film. The Graduate, doffer exclamations of pity and clemency to the :k and disallusioned Mrs. Robinson. To the person io takes the film's story at face-value, he finds mself looking back on the film with incompatible elings; first, a funny-type humor makes him feel : enjoyed the film but a moment later he is taken I an over-powering nausea and disgust that makes im feel sick at what he's seen. One cannot help indering to himself two questions: What's the sense t that fum?" And "How on earth does the recurring ieme song about Mrs. Robinson fit the filmed story f Mrs. Robinson?" I talked to Mr. Garfunkel on the none and asked if my interpretation of the song and Im were accurate. He assured me it was and r e nested a copy of this address. The film is a subtle rotest, a commentary on our society today. Mrs. Robinson represents the affluent and influenial establishment, a position in our society for rhich everyone seems to strive. But for all of her naterial and social position, Mrs. Robinson is misxable and disallusioned,..... disallusioned with he tangible, real products and possesrions of a conused and distorted way of life. The values she has >een taught (and, incidentally, holds for her own eenage daughter) are so incongruous with the life he has made for herself. She not only turns to drink o dull her miseries, but she perpetuates her disalusionment by seducing a young, brilliant, and unnntaminated young man, the coPege graduate,and ■sycholitic believes that his attention someway retores her youth and purity. Benjamin, the graduate, represents the youth of American society. He is brilliant, articulate, edicated and pure. His entire life is before him. He ;urveys the society around him. Anything he wants is his. His parents smother him with attention and adulation. They try to force him to make a decis­ ion about his life and career. They promise him everything. Dad gets impatient and Mother dotes. The neighbors and friends praise the talents and ca­ pacities of Benjamin. But Benjamin is confused and unsure of just what he wants in life. He wanders ;h the and mopes around, not able to "jump through hoops" and uninterested in sharing the emptiness and confusion of the " upward bound" around him. The pure young man is seduced by the establish­ ment as it uses sex symbols to fool him into joining the sick society. For awhile he attempts the " I-led two-lives" role which many youths are trying to play. Eventually, however, he finds himself. He fights the system and the establishment which in­ cludes the business community, the fine society, the university, and even the church. The final scene pictures the girl he loves about to be envel­ oped into the system by an agreed-upon marriage arranged by the society folk and sanctioned bv the church's very own sacramental ceremony, the symbols occurring in the last few minutes are pow­ erfully significant. Benjamin makes the up-hill run, beats on the locked door of the church, his true love (Mrs. Robinson's daughter) breaks free from the cere­ mony and runs to meet Benjamin. Benjamin locks the angry wedding crowd in the church by jamming a cross in the door handles of the church and two, hand- in­ hand, run into the annonomity of a crowded urban bus.

The words come shrieking through. Listen to them: "Mrs. Robinson" Simon and Garfunkle--Columbia Records And here's to you Mrs. Robinson, Jesus Inves you more than you will know. God bless you please Mrs Robinson: Heaven holds a place for those who pray — We d like to know a little bit about you for our files. We'd like to help you learn to help yourself. Look around you, all you see are sympathetic eyes stroll around the grounds until you feel at home And here's to you Mrs. Robinson, Jesus loves you more than you will know, God bless you please Mrs. Robinson: Heaven holds a place for thoie who pray — Hide It Ina hiding place where no one ever goes — Put it in your pantry with your cupcakes. It’s a little secret, just the Robinson's affair — most of all you've got to hide it from the kids — Mrs. Robinson, Jesus loves you more than you will know, God bless you please Mrs. Robinson: Heaven holds a place for those who pray — Sitting on a sofa on a Sunday afternoon: going to the candidates' debate; laugh about it. shout about it, when you've got to choose — every way you look at it you loose. ‘ In fervent appeal, Simon and Garfunkle raise the penetrating question of the song and the pertinent ques­ tion of our time: WHERE HAVE YOU GONE JOE DIMAGGIO? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you. What's that you say Mrs. Robinson? Jilted Joe has left and gone away? The literal question of Joe DiMaggio's where-abouts is not the real question being askedby youth uth today, [temporary knowledge. nor is it a vital question to cont -------------'------’ . t ------to the older genera­ But the real question that is put tion is: "TWhat happened’ to your moral heroes?” You ''good guy " of a recent see, Joe DiMaggio was the "good generation, who worked hard and made it to the top of financiaL sports, and social success. He did all that Americans are supposed to do. He eventually mar­ ried the personable symbol of the great society. Mar­ ilyn Monroe's news release had it that she jilted Joe, but after her death the real truth came out that Joe was disappointed and disallusioned and left Marilyn. But true to the tero-type, he openly and silently took it on the chin so she could be protected before her ad­ miring public. Interesting thing about heroes, they are dependent for their very existence upon clearly understood and cherished values. Every culture, every society, every institution, and every individual has some form of hero worship. Heroes are made not bom. The stuff out of which heroes are made are the values which people hold. An individual who has a set of clearly stated and compatible values will identify a person who exemplifies those values and call that person their hero. For example, most Americans share in common such good old yankee values as work hard, risk-taking, rugged individualism, honesty, clever­ ness, thrift, integrity, courage, and loyalty. As iplified long as our society e*emr ,‘"-'1 its stated values (if said they ought) heroes you please: They did as they r were easy to come-by. Our American folk songs and folklore, and even our school history filled to running-over with persons wn< . min Franklin's sayings seriously and found t he mselves national heroes. They simply did the things that American values said tney ought to do and that was enough to make them heroes. Poor-boy-makesgood and "rail-splitter”-to--the--whitehouse are tes today. They are as Yankee as eating virtual cliches ‘ hot-dogs or apple pie, celebrating Thanksgiving or w »balL They are as distinctly American as the stars and stripes or feeling the chills go up and down your spine when a Sousa-playing band marches by. They are the kinds of things that make ticker-tapes fly in New York and tears run down your face. Americans need heroes. In fact, we all need heroes. We need them for our very mental health's sake. All of us realize how far short we fall when measured by our own values. All of us realize how often we are inconsistent when it comes to our "oughts” and our "is's. ” We need to identify some­ one who lives up to our great and grand designs, our oughts, or if you please, our values. By identifying with a hero who lives up to our values, we gain some psychological satisfaction over our own deficit and we gain reinforcement for our stated values. With the decrease in our number of available heroes to replace our Washingtons, Lincolns, Teddy Roose­ velts, Douglas MacArthurs, Fords, JFK's, Martin Luther Kings, and DiMaggios, Americans have turn­ ed to Hollywood, Broadway, Miami Beach, Atlantic City, and Wall Street to "conjur-up" facsimiles and create fabrications of Yankee heroes. We are neu­ rotically pacified with the fictional pseudo-heroes provided us by television, novels, movies, and pub­ lic relations specialists. As long as there is a dearth of real-live heroes due to conflicting values and be­ havior which is inconsistent with our values, there will always be a vacuum, a need, and even a de­ mand for a John Wayne, a Miss America, or a Dr. Walter Thomas, center, delivered the ad­ dress to the graduating class of the Maple Valley High SchooL Carroll Wolff, Superintendent, is on the right and Charles Viele, School Board trustee, gave the diplomas to the students. - -Photo by Gladys Richardson Man Dillon. There will always be a Man Dillon who takes risks; is honest, courageous and loyal; is clev­ er, hard-working. and ruggedly individualistic. Identifying with Man Milon becomes a national past-time because of die society's values the play­ wrights have carefully ascribed to him. In other words, if you want to write a best seller, fill the box offices, or produce a long-run television series, take all of the great American values and create a hero and a series of episodes in which the Yankee al­ ways wins. I'm not sure the entertainment industry would be one of the largest businesses in the United States if American values were not becoming the ” impossible dream." There would be no bus mess in imagination or profit in fantasy, if Americans lived up to their dreams. Where are our real heroes? Where has Joe DeMaggio gone? The good guy always wins, but because we are hard up for real authenic heroes in our every day so­ ciety, we have not only conjured up our fabricated heroes of fantasy and imagination, nut we have very recently engaged in an interesting process of naming anti-heroes. These are conspicuous personifications around us who are the living-opposite of our stated values; the Bonnie-Clyde creation for example. They remind us of our values in reverse. Why is it that Mr. Munday in the series, It Takes a Thief, receives so much time-sanction by the American population? Is it now all right to steal, lie, and con as long as you are patriotic about it? Do the ends justify the means? Is it now beautiful for our little children to spend Saturday mornings adoring and emulating those anti-heroes of the irresponsible cartoon industry, watching those weirdos who, in the name of funny, wipe our continents and cities with some chemical potion or atomic weapon? What ever happened to Donald Duck anyway? Where have you gone Joe Di­ Maggio? . How come we don't have heroes named in Wash­ ington these days? Is it true that the politician really must say one thing and do another to get the votes and maintain the popularity he needs with the peo­ ple back home? Has the fast talking politician re­ placed our image of honest Abe? Where have you gone Joe DeMaggio? How come we don't have any heroes being named in industry and business? Has honesty in advertising been contaminated by the profit motive? Can a per­ son really make money in the competitive business market these days and still live up to the Golden Rule? Has misrepresentation and ruthless competi­ tion become the name of the game? Where have you gone Joe DeMaggio? How come we don't have any heroes being named in the church today? The church has always Deen the timeless resource for supplying human civiliza­ tion with its heroes. Whereas the church once cried out against value inconsistency, is it now sanction­ ing the system by default? Has the church become guilty of providing religious justification for our national and personal acts? Where have you gone Joe DeMaggio? How come we don't name any great heroes in four years of war in Viet Nam? If MacArthur, Rickenoacker, Omar Bradley, Rickover, or Eisenhower were fighting in Viet Nam, I wonder if they would ever become neroes? Oh, we still give awards for personal bravery and provide crosses bestowed live and posthumously on lighting men in Viet Nam, but we are reluctant to use the word hero in describing them. The war is unpopular because of a conflict in American values. As long as there is an identifiable line of war, a great and terrible black dragon like a Hitler^Mussolini-Tofotype, and as long u as the ~ mill —— ­ tary/and tactical odds are . ", ‘ ans can fight and make great war. By this time in a World War I or II we would have had many songs and stor­ ies about gallant soldiers working hard and taking risks against a dirty, ruthless, and powerful enemy. Churches would be praying for American victory be­ cause such a war is easily seen as a holy war of the righteous against the wicked. Americans have al­ ways believed that if you work your hardest and take great risks against a powerful and wicked enemy, eventually you just have ro win. In Viet Nam we're working hard and taking risks but we're not able to accept the fact that we're not winning; Americans have no value system that permits making heroes if you don't win. Inters aren't heroes in America but they can be in North Vietnam. Contrary to the par- The Maple Valley Newt, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, June 20. 1968 �DR. THOMAS* TALK Continued from page 2 ent ot the 1940's who wished his son success in the great war, the modem day parent of the Viet Nam recruit tells his son to " get in the middle and shutup. " That doesn't provide much incentive for mak­ ing heroes. Where has Joe DeMaggio gone9 Being a great hero isn't a very attractive occupa­ tion any more. The reason for it being that heroes have an impossible task to trying to exemplify the inconsistent and changing American values. The descrepency between what Americans say they ought to do and what they actually do makes the job of hero have a poor occupational outlook and security. In fact, if you really try to live up to the great and old stated American values you will eith­ er become neurotic or murdered. The latter of course, is what happened to the two all-American heroes to appear in the last decade: John F. Kenne­ dy and Martin Luther King. Maybe Americans real­ . Iv can't tolerate someone who is comprised of au­ thentic, genuine hero material, who lives up to the values we have preached and who consequently serves as a national barometer of conscience by which we all see ourselves as hypocrites. I recently spent a third trip visiting and living a­ mong many different youth groups in San Francisco and the Berkeley area. I found no protest songs, po­ ems, literature, art, or posters that said down with the American values; down with loyalty, down with love, down with courage, down with equality, down with honesty, down with respect, or down with in­ tegrity. But I did discover a loud and clear protest against what is being passed-off as behaviorial evi­ dences of those values. I don't find any lack of imagination or loss of i­ dealism in youth today. But I see many who find it easier to "switch than fight". They would rather become one of the defectors, and retire from the society because they view the establishment as a nut too tough to crack so why fight it.... just pick up stakes and colonize in the nearest big city bo­ hemian district. It doesn't take much insight to see that such a decision probably makes them more a part of the problem than part of the answer. On the other hand, it is just as much a part of the problem to accept the double standards of a so-called estab­ lishment and contribute to the society's descrepency between stated values and demonstrated behavior. Isn't is interesting that our national value co n flicts will probably be taken to the polls this next fall? Isn't it interesting that Romney, McCarthy, and Kennedy made value problems the basis of their campaigns. Consequently, the youth are being cap­ tivated to try once again to rally around a moral hero. Never have so many youth been involved in political movements. John Kennedy and Martin King left most American youth desperate for a mor­ al hero. The college campuses and capitols of the world reflect youth’s discontent with the world they are inheriting. An inherited society which the pre­ vious generations worked hard for and therefore cher ish; and because they cherish it they can't accept youth's protest of it. Last week's "Life” magazine named the real problem in their article entitled: The Generation Gap. I only pray for some national hero to emerge, some national tragedy or event to occur, or some idea to ignite us or else the gap will become a chasm so great that revolution and chaos will errupt I was frightened from what 1 heard youth saying tn the ears of the camera as Robert Kennedy lay critically wounded in the kitchen of the Ambassador Hotel. They were calling for blood and revolution. Oh for a Joe DeMaggio! Well, what is my message to you, you high school graduates of 1968? I have described some di­ lemmas and problems that you probably know better than L If I were giving this commencement address forty years ago, 1 would warm your hearts with some nice-sounding phrases about the beautiful future with its open arms. But I'm not here today to play any games with you. My message is simply this:you are Joe DeMaggio if you want to be! You can be your own moral heroes. You can live out your val­ ues even though there are hypocrites all around, you can do more than just protest, you can change our society. You can do more than just conform, you can transform the many degraded and sick around us. You can do more than defect to some hippie colony, you can carry your idealism and values into the market place, into government, into your church, into your families, into your community, or into industry. You can make peace a reality. You can make racial equality fact and not fiction. You can wage war against poverty, ignorance, and dis­ ease. But only if you want to badly enough; only if you want to make your behavior jive with your val­ ues. You must have the security to be insecure. The security within yourself and your ideals, to do what you know is right regardless of the insecurity it might generate. John F. Kennedy said it and I like it, "A man does what he must. “ Whf-ff ttfve you K°.ne Joe DeMaggio9 Siiiiig Samwr Hair far a LareHtr Yu' CALL TODAY HELEN'S BEAUTY SHOP W CLOSED WEDNESDAYS 653-3901 "AS I SEE IT” written by Paul P. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency The blackboard jungle and our nation During the last several months, many educators in higher education reviewed the current condition of our secondary educational system in various met­ ropolitan areas. Their findings are rather discoura­ ging according to statistical evidence, which indi­ cates a very low percentage of high school gradu­ ates are ready for additional studies in higher edu­ cation. It has also been common knowledge that the safety and security of teachers in metropolitan Letters to Editor It is usually the case, that, when a nation is at war, when its men in uniform are fighting and dy­ ing, the country takes a more appreciative attitude towards its defenders. It is at these times that the fighting man, if he ever expects to get them, gets a tew improvements in his way of living and a few more coins in his pocket. The Treasury Department's plan for a new travel tax program and change in custom rules to discour­ age spending abroad by tourists in the hope it will relieve our heavy out-flow of gold probably deserves merit as something that must be done. Page twelve of the official committee print of the House Ways and Means Committee dated February 5, 1968 states "the fifty dollar gift exemption for servicemen in combat areas be retained. The ten dollar duty-free exemption for all gift parcels, including those mail­ ed by military personnel stationed in non-combat areas would be reduced to one dollar retail by regu­ lation. " The fifty dollar exemption for a man in combat areas should certainly be retained as the gift he , sends home to his loved ones may be his last. How­ ever, the Treasury Department's plan for our non­ combat areas would charge a flat rate of one dol­ lar for any gift between one and ten dollars. This would mean that a man stationed in Korea, Guan­ tanamo or on fleet duty who is away from home for two, three or four Christmas seasons would pay a flat rate of one dollar to send a one dollar and one cent present to his family. In other words, two dol­ lars and one cent for a one dollar and one cent gift. We believe this is unjust and urge everyone to write their Representative and Senator protesting this portion of the tax program.

Van Raalte Legislative Chairman, 8th District Department of Michigan Veterans of Foreign Wars. secondary schools are very much in declining status. In many cases, some slum area high schools need security guards to prevent any physical or bodily in­ juries. It is also common knowledge no teacher shall use any physical self-discipline only in the case of self-defense. I think it is totally unthinkable for society to tol­ erate this kind of unoelieveable condition. Ameri­ can education has achieved distinction and recog­ nition around the world by our high standards. Dur­ ing the last 30 years all our school systems have re­ quired teachers to continue and further their studies. School administrators have additonal educational courses in counselling and guidance. Regardless of the racial problems, we have to admit all our school facilities are in better condition and our teachers are mote qualified. Then, what is the cause of the deterioration of its products? 1 feel it is the lack of communication between the teachers and students for mutual respect. The materialistic advancement of society considers teaching as a low-pay occupation. Court decision provents classroom teaching of religion and God­ fearing. In many cases, even during the high school Government Days, no speaker shall be involved with political issues. Consequently, we are trying to prepare our younger generation to live in an iv­ ory tower environment. We are not preparing them for realistic living in our own society. The.e is no textbook to prepare for ethics, political participa­ tion, hard working habits and the importance of strict family budgeting planning. Teachers deserve respect and recognition before they are able to teach effectively. Our future de­ pends upon our younger generation. The educators are trusted and responsible to educate our younger generation. However, they are not able to do this job alone. They deserve tne public's support and understanding. Yet, at the same time, if education­ al administrators burden the good teachers with any unnecessary clerical work, they shall certainly en­ danger our nation's future. Mindful of every need, heedful of every wish We deeply honor the confidence placed in us at time ot sorrow. Faithfully we observe every wish, meet every need, including a regard for financial consideration. VOGT FUNERAL HOMES .

The Jaycettes, as they are called, are a group of wives whose husbands are Jaycees. Their purpose is to serve their Jaycee husbands and the Jaycees as a group. So you may ask, what does this do to Vermont­ ville and Nashville, the Maple Valley area? First, we have the organization of Jaycees, who are not satisfied sitting back on their duff and complaining about this and that, we are ready to take a stand on an issue after thinking and talking over the issue, and then we are ready to fight for that issue. We are interested in the community, for many of us are intending to spend our lives here. This means that we will De shopping here, sending our children to the schools, and taking them to the churches of the community. Let's face it, our area, the com­ munity in which we live, is only what we make it. We are going to be involved in the happenings of the community because we care, we are a part of the community so it is us, the community, that we are working for. Second, we have the organization of Jaycettes. As a group, they are willing to stand behind us in our work and to serve the group collectively in any way that we may ask. Individually, as a Jaycee wife, they have to contend with long meetings, never knowing when their busbands will be home for supper and putting up with constant talk about nothing but the mighty Jaycees. Bear in mind, that even though the two have been introduced separately, they will be uniting to form an offspring of leadership training through community development and public service. The Maple Valley Jaycees extend their best wish­ es to the Jaycettes for their continued growth and activation; and on behalf of the Jaycee Auxiliary, we invite you, the citizens of the Maple Valley area to attend the Charter Night banquet, June 25, 1968.

Activities will start at 7 p. m. Thursday with a Water Ball Battle staged in front of the fire barn on N. Main Street. Invited to participate are the fire departments from Hastings, Delton, Woodland, Ver­ montville, Hickory Corners, Middleville, along with the local department.

A very enthusiastic group met Wednesday eve­ ning, June 19, at the All-Purpose Room, Fuller St. School, and saw films and heard comments about the Lakeview CentenniaL •George Vogt, chairman for the Nashville Cen­ tennial, made arrangements for the visit of Mrs. Jane Huffman, Mr. Huffman and Mr. and Mrs. Mil­ ler of Lakeview. Film strips were shown of the var­ ious activities of the Centennial which was o b served last summer at Lakeview. Mb. Huffman told how their organization was begun and how the var­ ious teams and chapters were organized and what activities and projects they worked on. In conjunc­ tion with other centennial projects, the Lakeview group presented a pageant on the history of their town. This was given for five nights. They started their centennial planning with a street dance. They sold tickets to this dance and this started their fund for holding their centennial. They stated that the entire cost of their centennial was $21, 000 and after all bills were paid and taken care of, they had a balance of $1100 left. They hope to take the various film strips which were made during the centennial and compile one com­ plete film of the entire activity. They also hope to gather together a complete history of the centenn­ ial project for a permanent record. The next meeting of the Nashville Centennial group will be July 17 at 8:00 p. m. at the Castle­ ton Township HalL George Vogt urged all interest­ ed persons to attend this meeting and plan to take part in centennial plans. Crossing lights out Extensive damage done to Elementary building The Kellogg Elementary building at Nashville was broken into sometime Sunday afternoon, and according to Police Chief Don Langham, nearly $500 in damage occurred. Practically every room in the building was ransacked, books thrown from cup­ boards, chalk and crayons were scattered through­ out the halls, but the most serious damage was done in the old cafeteria, where paint cans were punch­ ed open and the contents poured over the floor, and in the gymnasium where liquid soap was strewn over much of rhe area. Entry was gained through a window on the east side of the building. The paint, to be used in dec­ orating a number of the rooms, was setting on ta­ bles in the cafeteria where entry was made. Only two rooms in the two-story building escaped the vandals. In some of the rooms the teachers' desks were ransacked and the contents thrown on the floor. In other areas files were opened and the contents strewn over the floor. The damage, said Langham, appeared to have been done by children, and there were numerous barefoot tracks in the cafeteria and adjoining halL In one of the office rooms a can of lubricating oil was poured generously, and books were tossed from the shelves onto the floor. The building was checked about 12:30 p. m. and everything was in order at that time. The damage was discovered Monday morning by the custodians. Custodian Gayion Fisher surveys the extensive damage at the Kellogg school building. --Photo by Gladys Richardson Fam I ly Store will cease operati on soo n The Family Store, owned and operated for the past S yean by Mr. and Mb. Nelson Brumm, will cease operation within the next few weeks. When the building they occupy was sold recently, Mt. and Mrs. Brumm attempted to find other quarters to continue their store. When they failed to find oth­ er suitable arrangements, they decided they would go out of business. They have been conducting a sale of their merchand Be and Mr. Brumm said he felt they would be open for another week or so. During Sunday evening's electrical storm the Penn Central crossing lights on South Main Street were put out of commission. It was several hours before repairs were conyleted. For the most part, only minor damage in the na­ ture of tree limbs and a few small trees blown down occurred in the Nashville area, according to Police Chief Don Langham who participated in the T r i county tornado watch. �■ BACKSTREET BAROMETER Our son, Chris, is over at Michigan State Univer­ sity for two weeks. He is attending the annual Com■unication Arts Institute there and it almost turned Mt to be a dilly of a two weeks for him. On the application he just signed himself up as Chris Boughton and when Amy took him over to ■Ute last Sunday, they didn't pay much attention at the registration desk--just gave him a room key with a number on it and told him which dorm he was to report to. Amy said she noticed the halls of the dorm were full of glib checking in, but she decided tins was just a part of the modem co-educational system and said nothing, though she was just a bit appre­ hensive as she left Chris in his room. Chris said a short time after be got in the room a real good looking girl came along with a match­ ing key to his room and announced it was HER room. Chris, «t flirt, thought they had sent him a real good roommate, but they took him out of that worm and put him In the boy's quartets. I've been working over in Lansing for the Tourist Council and have to get up and get on the road in order to be at work somewhere around eight each morning. 1 go through Vermontville to Potterville and it amazes me the number of Nashville and Ver­ montville people I see traveling the road every day. I'll bet we could make up a bus load going each direction. . Nashville should be proud that Vicky Rose is car­ rying the name of the town across the footlights. Vicky is part of the company at the Bam Theatre this year. That gives me a good excuse to get over there to see some of the productions this year. The Harvest Festival is coming up this weekend. Thu is a good chance for those of you who do not live here now to get back for a homecoming. It also gives those of us who live here a chance toget out and have some fun. It is for a good cause too. The Volunteer Fire­ men use the money they make on the Harvest Fes­ tival to purchase equipment for the department. The Centennial Committee has had a couple of well-attended meetings, but more people are need­ ed. If this is going to go over, it will go over be­ cause everybody in town worked on it. Those who would like to be part of the fun should get out for the next meeting or contact George Vogt and let him know you want to help, NATIONAL NEWSPAPER! affiliate member MAPLE VALLEY NEWS Infant son dies The infant son of Roger and Susan (Moore) Ti □ridge of Vermontville, bom Wednesday, died Fri­ day, June 21, at Pennock HospitaL Surviving, in addition to his parents, are his pa­ ternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Trowbridge of Vermontville, and maternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Delbert Moore of Hastings.

FFA w iII sponso r t racto r pulling contest Letter to Editor Dear John, Your writeup in the Maple Valley News about the Memorial Day parade went far afield. I think you know Kay's husband is a First Flight. Engineer on a P3A Orion based now again at Patux­ ent River Naval Test Station in Maryland. He had just returned after a 6-months tour of duty in Burmuda and Newfoundland, Kay and Helen Louise re­ mained in Maryland where they have established their home about six miles from the base. Incidentally he was engineering one of the search planes looking for the sub Scorpion, I under­ stand. . I sent the Maple Valley News to Kay that partic­ ular week because of the school pictures including Anne, also the picture including Larry as well as many other items I knew she would be interested in. This is an excerpt from her last letter I thought you might like to bear. "You can tell John Boughton his friends from New York were indeed fortunate to share a Memorial Day with them. I wish I could have been there! You have no idea how much this Nashville girl missed that little parade of Boy Scouts and Blue Birds with OBITUARIES by john boughton their big happy smiles - - the school band playing for all they were worth, with all the Veterans marching in their now ill-fitting uniforms but with a look of pride and true sincerity. The meeting in the quiet little country cemetery with those well spoken words for the dead, with shots in assure a preservation of their remembrance. As a child you tend to laugh at a scene of the home town parade for its awkwardness and rural simplicity but when you are grown and it is no long­ er within your reach, you'd be ever so surprised bow beautiful that same parade is, as it marches back through your mind while you are half across the na­ tion away from it. * "I was shocked to find here within 60 miles of our Nation's Capitol things went on as any other day, stores open and they even had school! I told my friends in Nashville mat would be almost sac­ rilegious. It truly upset me. ’ So you can see what a hometown parade story can do to a hometown girl whom I'm quite sure now was really never meant to roam. Hal Ha! She is still very homesick for Nashville and all her friends and relatives here even aftet a year and a half away from us. Maybe we here in Nashville have a great deal to be grateful for; more, to be grateful to boys like her nusband who are serving us and our country and forgoing the comfort and security of borne and friends. Grateful too, to the girls and children who also serve by sitting and waiting. Thought maybe you'd like to know your story went to Maryland.

Brown seeks another term Congressman Garry Brown announced that he will seek the Republican nomination and re-election as the Representative of Michigan's Third District.(Barry, Calhoun, Clinton, Eaton and Kalamazoo coun­ ties) in the US Congress. A native of Schoolcraft, Brown unseated incum­ bent Democratic Congressman Paul Todd in his first bid for national office in 1966, following four years of service as a Michigan State Senator, and before that as a delegate to the Michigan Constitutional Convention. Congressman Brown serves as a member of the key Banking and Currency Committee, and Housing ana International Trade Subcommittees. His interest and knowledge in the areas of urban problems and gov­ ernment efficiency have also won him appointment to two Special House Republican groups, the Task Force on Congressional Reform and Staffing and the Task Force on Urban Affairs. He has just been appointed a member of a select new bi-partisan Congressional steering committee working in conjunction with the United States Con­ ference of Mayors. The committee will give direc­ tion and guidance to a program of visits to large cit­ ies and their ghetto areas by members of the House to develop a better understanding of what our urban needs are in terms of both private and public action. In announcing his candidacy for re-election. Brown said, " During my campaign for election to the Congress in 1966, I advocated certain programs, policies and actions. The most important of these were: better use of the taxpayer's dollar through im­ proved governmental efficiency; a more equitable and better structured taxing system including t h e sharing of federal revenues with the states and local units of government; a total re-examination of our water pollution control programs to the end that more effective action is taken toward the preserva­ tion and improvement of the quality of this essential natural resource; and, finally, I promised I would draw upon my prior legislative experience and be an effective legislator."

These last few weeks have got to be about the worst weather-wise, that we have had in quite a few summers. As a matter of fact, the way things have been going, no one seems quite sure whether we have had summer yet or not. Some insist that we had our summer back tn March and that what we are having is late falL When I was a very young fellow I used to hear the old-timers tell about the year that was so cold that it snowed on the Fourth of July.

Let's hope not. We have had more than our share of rain lately too. This must be some sort of a record year. Years back the Fourth of July was a good time to really do up the family picnic and get-together. I can remember going up to Chesaning (an all day trip) to spend the Fourth with Grandma and Grandpa. I would wake up to the tune of firecrackers early in the morning and late at night, long after I had gone to bed, the noise of fireworks was still going strong. Back in those days the folks used to read in the pa­ pers the next morning about all the people who were hurt by firecrackers and all the fires that were start­ ed by rockets landing on houses or in dry fields. Rel­ atively few people were killed in auto accidents in those days. Today we no longer have fireworks, but we knock off more people with automobiles than those kids with firecrackers ever thought of. We made a little mistake in the story about the Family Store going out of business. We said the Brumms had been in business there for 6 years. We were just half right. They have been in business at the Family Store for twelve yean. That is just the way time hies. At any rate Main street will not be the same without Gen and Nelson. .... and the Family Store. Glenn Garlinger says that his son Ken, 14, went fishing up in Canada with the hope that he would come oack with some big ones. His little brother Gary, who is 3 yean old was quite upset to think that he couldn't go along with the older boy. So Glenn took the little fellow out fishing right here at Thomapple Lake and, wbat-do-you-know, be came up with a beauty of a fish, a 10 inch bass. This one was not quite as large as Ken got in Canada, but it was big enough to please a three-year old.

WILLIAM BITGOOD Phone 3-6092 NASHVILLE Two Nashville children, a girl 9 and a boy 9, have admitted to Police Chief Donald Langham to entering the Kellogg elementary school building at the comer of Queen and Washington streets on Sunday, June 23 where they caused damage amount­ ing to $500. But their confession came only after they were caught last week Wednesday afternoon after doing another $500 in damage to seven school buses at the school bus garage on Reed street. Larry Musser, head school bus mechanic, and one of his assistants were working at the bus garage when they heard a noise outside. When Musser in­ vestigated, he saw a girl run into one of the buses, with articles in her hands and close the door be­ hind her. Musser entered the bus where he also found the nine-year old boy inside, and took a hammer away from him which he was using to break up the interior of the bus. Police Langham was called and later, in a survey of the seven buses, it was learned that windows had been broken, general equipment had been strewn around, the dials on the dashboards had been broken and a radio had been smashed. Also, a first aid kit had been emptied and the contents missing. The two children stated they took the bus keys out of the buses about a week ago and were coming back Wednesday evening to sun one up to go' for a ride. Both children stated they "hate school" and both children were afraid they would be " beaten up" by their parents when they got home. Discovery of the damage done at the Kellogg elemenury building was Monday morning when the custodians entered the building. The children had entered the school some time between 4 and 8 pm Sunday through an unlocked window in the old cafeteria room. They bad opened gallon qans of paint by punching holes in tne top and proceeded to pour the paint on the floor. They had also poured liquid soap over the hallway and gymnasium floor, had emptied teachers' desks and files, strewn books from cupboards onto the floor in all of the rooms of the two-story building but two, and had littered the balls with papers, crayons, chalk and other debris. Police Chief Langham is still investigating the case which is being turned over to the juvenile court in Hastings. ■ " • PEOPLE’S BIBLE CHURCH Vacation Bible School will open July 8 and run to July 19, 9:00 to 11:30 a. m.

Staton of Indiana will lecture on "The Truth about Vietnam." �BACKSTREET BAROMETER I really didn't mean to listen in on a conversation a bunch of ladies were in the other day, but I just couldn’t help it. They were eating lunch at the t a ble next to mine and one of these ladies said, "Look at my beads... I mean my husband’s beads. " She then went on to explain that her husband (whom I would judge must be about middle aged) got a turtle-necked shirt for Christmas. Then when Librqry News Dorothy Rodger’s colorfully illustrated new book, " House In My Head, " has been presented to Putnam Library by the Woman's Literary Club in memory of Mrs. W. A. Vance. Four special publications by the National Geo­ graphic Society have been cataloged for the refer­ ence room. "Revolutionary War, " by Bart McDowell, tells the story of the seven years of conflict, using doz­ ens of painting, photographs, maps, and battle paintings. "World Beneath the Sea, ” by James Du­ gan, is a fascinating volume describing the great undersea territory and the pioneering in this frontier of the deep sea. " Isles of the South Pacific, " by Shadbolt and Ru­ hen, portrays the warmth and grace of life in the island world of the Pacific Ocean. " Exploring Can­ ada From Sea to Sea, " by several authors, tells the dramatic story of that land and takes you on a jour­ ney across its immense reaches of forest, mountain and prairie. Thirty new titles in an assortment of varied nov­ els, mysteries, westerns, junior books and reference works nave been added to the shelves this week. Our European tour Dick Shaneck of Nashville proudly shows off the largemouthed bass which he caught Monday e v e nine, June 24th. The fish weighed 6 pounds, was 22 1/2 inches in length and was caught in Thomapple Lake. Dick said ne was all alone and that he had no net to help land him, and he also broke the pole getting him in. --News Photo Mrs. Irene Hamp, teacher at Maple Valley High School, and her sister, Mrs. Myrtle Bidwell of Grass Lake, Michigan, left Metro Airport on Sunday, July 7 at 7:15 via Pan American and flew straight to London, arriving there at 7:25 a. m.

Mrs. Hamp and Mrs. Bidwell will be gone a total of twenty-one days. b? john boughto* Father’s Day came, one of the kids got him the beads to wear with it and his black suit. The lady went on to explain that she would be home before he was and would put the beads back before he knew he was wearing them. She said that he dearly loved the beads and wears them everytime he wears the shirt. "Just imagine," she said, "conservative. Republi­ can, Canadian George, wearing hippie beads!" Saturday evening we stepped to see Al and Mary Hine for a few minutes. Al was out working in the garden and he had his two dogs with him. He has a new little dog, a Border Collie who is happy to see company. This little dog will chase a stick and bring it back to a different person each time. Our family lined up to see how he did it. Number one throws the stick and the dog brings it to number two. When number two throws, he returns it to number three, etc. Last week we ran pictures of new construction a-' round town. We could have done the same this week with things that are coming down. The house next to Eldon Day's came down the oth­ er day. It happened fast too. Early in the day the house was still there and when I looked later in the day... about five o'clock, it was entirely down. The old barn behind Hosmer's has come down too. Paul took it down and is going to use most of the wood to build a garage in the same place.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Ttaxtay, July 11, 19U �Stiiiig Sumer Hair hr i Lmlier fti!1 CALL TODAY fOR AN APPOINTMENT Recently, I visited nine major cities in the coun­ try and reviewed many fine reports of the Citizens Committee of their communities, which includes • Detroit's Citizens' report. I think these reports are soul searching. It is a great contribution tor our fu­ ture society if these recommendations and sugges­ tions were to be successfully adopted. These pro­ posals deal with the curriculum, discipline, school financial structure, building facilities, teacher com­ pensations, the school's long-range revenue pros­ pects, racial equality, and community participation in the school's issues. As an educator, I am sure I share with many other dedicated teachers in feeling our hearts are bleeding due to the social unrest, school financial troubles, academic standards crumbling, lack of respect to the academic personnel, vandalism in big metropolitan schools, permissiveness spreading, pregnancy rate increasing, high school and college drop-outs on the rise, conflict of interests and issues in school and university boards spreading, alarming increase o f teacher strikes, as well as the increase of the nar­ cotics traffic in metropolitan school systems. I be­ lieve with these kinds of chaotic situations, regard­ less of the conservative or liberal elements of so­ ciety, we cannot feel proud and comfortable; in this type of situation. 1 do not think anyone can claim our last thirty years of the educational system as a tremendous suc­ cess, and we shall all share the responsibilities-for it. Education is something to train and discipline the individual's mind, and I do not think brick or ' mortar will.be able to compensate our shortcomings. The community's respect and indebtedness to the teaching profession cannot be compensated by cash only. To he a university trustee or a member of the school board is not to De considered as political pruning or a social status symbol. These people must possess the courage to agree and disagree, to ap prove and disapprove, regardless their job security when issues concern thousands of students and their future. We realize the educational systems of other parts BELEN'S BEAUTY SHOP CLOSED WEDNESDAYS 653-3901 today. In China they have the Red Guard. In Russia, hooligans; in Western Europe they have the unruly mobs; in this country we have hippies and SDS. I think in this great nation we must consider the fail­ ure of our education as a warning signal of our s o ciety's survival. It is not only die responsibility of educators, and the school board, but of the entire community. We must realize it is a weakness and try to correct it. The big communities must often look upon the medium and small-sized communi­ ties for their fine educational systems. Evidence has proven the highest academic degree, the impress­ ive salary schedules of school superintendents and their long list of publications have not achieved a token of success in such cities as Chicago, Detroit, New York and other metropolitan areas. GET THAT ENGINE SUMMER-! Perhaps the only key to solving this educational problem besides the use of money is the need for dedication, respect, and high moral discipline. To love Our children is not to neglect to teach and to discipline them and try to preach of permissiveness because if we care for them, we must care for their future. Their future needs supervision, guid­ ance and love. The best illustration is the medical doctor who cares .about his patient. He does not allow the pa­ tient to eat whatever he wants, exhaust himself, or abuse himself. A good medical doctor is strict with his patient's schedules, strict with the patient's di­ et, and most of all the doctor does care about the patient's welfare. This same principle must be ap­ plied to the relationship between the parents and children, the teachers and students. READY We mean No. 1 in dependability!

The Maple Valley Newt. Nashville. Michigan. Thursday, July 11. 1968 Ph. OL3-6OO3 �Castleton Township Supervisor . July 8, 1968 ANNUAL REPORT This report covers the period from April 1st, 1967 to March 30th, 1968. Another year has become his­ tory for the Township. As in many other areas, town­ ship work becomes more diverse and in many cases, more confusing. As more changes and programs are added the time involved and the expense to the Township are increased. However, I think the peo­ ple who are involved in local government through­ out the state are dedicated to solving local problems on a local level. This report covers the projects that have been active in Castleton Township for the past A DIGNIFIED FUNERAL SERVICE WITHIN EVERYONE'S MEANS ruoi rUNERAL HOMES titihfille CALLOL3-2612 or CL9-89&6 Vermontville COME IN AND SEE OUR BEAUTIFUL Floor Covering LEES CARPET CERAMIC WALL & FLOOR TILE ARMSTRONG PRINT LINOLEUM ARMSTRONG INLAID LINOLEUM FORMICA COUNTER TOPS DRAPERIES & HARDWARE HASTINGS FLOOR COVERING 123 W.

The work on 2 3/4 miles of Center Road has been completed during the year. This included grading, gravel and blacktop. Traffic had built up tn the lake area so that this was a much needed project. Center Road is now paid for completely. During the year the complete assessment roll, in­ volving some 1400 parcels of property, was changed over to State Equalized Values. This involved much time and many explanations on the part of the Su­ pervisor. All of the townships in Barry County have changed their assessment rolls to the new equalized values. I have worked during the past four years on the County Equalization Committee and became familiar with many of the problems of equalized values on a county-wide basis. Another major project was the setting up of the Castleton Maple Grove Ambulance Service. This involved the County Board of Supervisors as well as the two township boards and the village council and members of the fire department. After many meet­ ings I believe we have a good workable service avallable with the cooperation of the personnel of the fire department. Serving as secretary and treasurer of the new ambulance service I have had an oppor­ tunity to become familar with all of the details in­ volved. Extra cemetery work was completed during the year with special emphasis on the Warner Cemetery at Stoney Point. This involved some grading and fence work. Emphasis is placed on the work in the cemeteries at Decoration Day time and I believe we have our township cemeteries in good shape. About 20 lots were sold in both the Barryville and the Warner last year. A new cemetery mower was pur­ chased during the year and this has helped consid­ erably in keeping the cemeteries in shape. Sometime during the year the township board tries to take a tour of die township in order to be­ come familar with the changes and the problems involved in keeping a township operating. The tour this past year was on June 5, 1967. This gives the whole board a chance to see road conditions, road work in progress, also new plats and other areas. We had a petition from those interested in getting Wellman Road in better shape. The township board asked by resolution that the county commission re­ quest of the State that Wellman Road be made a primary road. After the State had made a survey this request was turned down. This leaves work of this road on a local leveL Considerable work was completed on this road in the way of ditch andgraveL This extra work should be continued for 1968. Some effort was put forth to solve the junk car problem. Although it was not solved we did get a considerable number of cars hauled away. This con­ tinues as a major problem. I have worked with both the county and State authorities on the junk car problem and expect to continue to do so in the coming year. Listing rather briefly a few of the other activities that I have been involved in: In addition to serving on the county board and township board and fire boards I now nave the am­ bulance board. Board of Review 4 1/2 days. Some work was done on county and township zon­ ing. I made several tours with the county zoning ad­ ministrator. Township hall roof was resealed. Worked with new village assessor in establishing identical village assessments for village and town­ ship. Several days were spent with Judd Cooley in checking village assessments. Many parcels were visited and checked and all parcels listed in the village we at least viewed. Served on special service and equalization com­ mittee for the county. Amended a meeting of all supervisors of town­ ships having property in the Hastings school district. Will be doing the same thing for Lakewood on April 4th. Attended Key Mens meeting for district 8. Attended County supervisor tour of problem mo­ bile home areas. Attended County supervisors tour of road work completed by the county road commission in 1967 and 1968. Worked with licensed second hand car dealers * willing to cooperate on cleaning up junk cars. Prob­ lem continues. Worked with county and State health authorities in relation to establishing trailer park in Thornap­ ple Lake area. Checked several houses that have been condemn ed by the health department. Assessments will need to be adjusted on these. Worked with cemetery caretakers on various prob­ lems including smashed road fence and placing of extra veteran markers and flags. The township board was involved in their approval of two dredge projects on Tbornapple Lake. Worked out contract with George Vogt and the township to keep ambulance service in operation un­ til such time as the township could take over the service. Took part in a few fence and septic tank disputes. Worked briefly on two property disputes at Pleasant Shores. These both went to court in 1967 and I hope will be solved shortly. Although the Supervisor does not have the author­ ity to actually change a fence or property line, peo­ ple seem to like to air their complaints through the The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Supervisor. L in turn, try to help people solve their mutual problems. Met with the Road Commission and members of the Sheriff Department at the site of the above men­ tioned problems. Checked with social services on welfare for sev­ eral township residents. Made many checks and meeting with the previous village assessor on Senior Citizen and Veteran ex­ emptions. , , . , For 1968 processed 178 senior citizens exemptions and 14 Veteran ux exemptions. Attended county Zoning Board of Appeals meeting in behalf of two people wishing to place mobile homes in the area. Attended annual meetings at both the Barryville and Hosmer cemeteries. Board of Review was taken on a township tour. Asked County Road Commission to put load limit signs on bridge on Gregg Crossing Road. Took representative from Sure License Bureau on tour of township junk cars. Worked out some 150 transfers of property on the ux tolL Signed for one guardianship. Several general letters sent out to tax payers in­ cluding senior citizens, veterans and percenuge sheets to all tax payers. Phone stickers included in letter as a special project. An option was obuined on the Mary Holman prop­ erty with hopes of building a new fire bam some time in the future. Several buildings lost by fire and adjustment on the assessment roll made accordingly. Explained local and township government to all three of Mrs. Firster’s Government classes. Spread special drain ux. Barger Road fill at no extra expense to township. Township will be affected by settlement of Charl­ ton. estate.

In the fall election you will no doubt have a chance to vote on increasing the 15 mill limita­ tion to a 16. 5 mill limiution. The two limita­ tions are figured as follows: 15 Mill limitation County School Intermediate & special education TOTAL 16. 5 Mill Limiution 6.14 . 70 8. 00 3.80 1.00 8.50 , 16 .20 15.00 mills 16.50 mills The total ux roll for 1968 is $5,181,100. This represents an increase of $66, 000 over 1967. This increase is largely due to new building within the township. The total number of parcels of property on the township tax roll are classified as follows: Residential Real Estate-----------865 Agricultural Real Estate------------------ 374 Commercial Real Esute---------------- 78 Industrial Real Esute----.............. .. 5 Commercial Personal Property------- 71 Industrial Personal Property-----------3 TOTAL 1396 Just a word about ux rates for 1968. Over the past few yean we have, in most cases, been able to lower the. rates a small amount each year for the township as a whole. 1968 will however re­ flect an increase of at least three mills on the school ux in the Maple Valley District, a 7.10 mill increase in the Hastings School District and a 5 mill increase in the Lakewood School District. If the 16. 5 mill limiution carries,another 1. 5 mills will be added to the total. The job of Supervisor is an interesting and educa­ tional one and often a humorous one, but above til a challenging one. I thank all the people who have be®"* P“n o{ *** many activities in the township. 1967 was a good year for Cattleton Township.

Thmday, July 11, 1MB Father’s Corner "The New Morality" is a popular phrase nowa-days which raises fear or hope in the hearts of Christians. To some it means throwing out all of the old rules of Christian conduct, and replac­ ing them with a thumb-nail rule of "do as you please," for others it means basing one's con­ duct on the spirit of Christ's Love rather than law or outmoded social rules. In St. Matthew’s Gospel Ch. 5/20 we read, "1 assure you, unless you have more religion that the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven." He tnen quotes the laws and says that they are not good enough. Chris­ tianity is not built on the ten commandments but on a total unselfish love of neighbor. "Go first and seek a reconciliation with your brother. Then come and offer your gift. " (Mt. 5/24) Now apply this to your enemies! Communists! North Vietnamese! Negroes! People different from you!

A physician, living in a very nice suburban area had difficulty getting along with his next-door neighbor. The two of them seemed to see eye-to-eye on practically no issue. Tensions grew so great that the doctor finally ex­ tended himself and bought two lots in a much nicer neighborhood. He extended himself quite some too, because he paid as much for the lots as many subur­ ban livers would pay for a good home. The doctor didn’t tell anyone in the old neighbor­ hood about his impending move. He just went about making the proper arrangements to have the new house built on his new, high-class lots, and he dreamed of the day when he would be forever away from the irritating influence of the boy next door. His house was about half completed when he no­ ticed excavation on the lot which backed up to his and the preparations there for a new house. . The doctor was naturally curious as to just who his new r'_ iv-----m— '------neighbor was going tovbe, “ so’’he ->vtdid a bit of ating to -------find out who owned the property investigating that backed up to his. You guessed it.. The impossible neighbor from next door had got fed up with the doctor and had done exactly the same thing to get out of the situa­ tion. Without telling anyone, he had stepped out and bought a new lot because he could no longer stand the doctor who lived next to him. I don't know what these two men are going to do, but it would seem that they will either have to re­ solve their difficulties, maybe even build a com­ mon swimming pool, or they will both have to go into the real estate business. Man seems bent on doing in all life on this globe one way or another. He seems to have a faculty for killing. Violent death seems ever present when man is in the neighborhood. Whether by accident or de­ sign. whether by planned conspiracy or just happen­ stance, man is doing a good job of annihilating whole species, including his own. Every day on the road between Nashville and Pot­ terville new little bodies dot the pavement where violent death has come to wildlife during the night. Rabbits, squirrels, numerous birds, snakes, turtles who have died during the night, line the highway. Twice within the last few weeks, I have seen the ‘ lily having been wiped evidence of an entire family out in, as MacDuff said, "One ' fell swoop. . " It is sad to see four little bodies of baby raccoons', a whole family, apparently killed by a speeding car. by john boughton Fellow was telling me the other day about the two dumb guys (you pick the nationality. I'll be darned if I will) who went ice fishing. They had real good luck... Came home with a whole bushel­ ful of ice. The Detroit Tigers have nothing on the Maple Valley JC's baseball team. As a matter of fact the JC team seems to be right up to the Tiger form. Jim Erwin and Don Augustine were telling me that the JC baseball team went over toGrand Ledge where they played a game. Maple Valley led all the way right down to the final inning when they blew the game and the opponants came through with ■the win. There is going to be a dinner on Thursday to hon­ or Sammy Sessions. This is just an attempt to give Sammy some of the recognition he deserves from his home town. Not many communities this size can say they have a race car driver who has driven in the big race at Indy. We are all proud of Sam, and I for one, can hard­ ly wait till next year. Perhaps next year at this time we will be naving dinner for the winner of the big race. . Our cat Charlie has a happy faculty for getting into trouble that he can't get out of. Not too long ago he took on a squirrel and came out definitely second best. The squirrel still walks defiantly a­ cross our yard and Charlie won't even look at him. The other day Charlie was sitting in the yard, minding bis own business, bothering no one, when a bird swooped down from the sky and dive-bombed him, pecking him sharply on the head. My daugh­ ter, who witnessed the attack said she thought it might have been a cat bird. That sound logical. Charlie was in no mood to fool around with a bird, cat bird, dog bird, or what have you, so he took off for the front porch with the bird winging its way behind him, occasionally taking a whack at poor Charlie's head. Charlie spent the rest of the day looking out the window. He no doubt figured that discretion was the better pan erf valor. I have a friend who just returned from a vacation trip to Lake Nipigon in the northern part of Ontario. This friend says that everyone, particularly those of us who live so close, should get up to that coun­ try and see it now, while it is still wild and unspoil­ ed because be is erf the opinion that it will not be this way long. Tourists are coming in. mining interests are mov­ ing in and the country that is now a frontier will be civilized tomorrow. This friend told of going to a Hale lake, way back in the woods and seeing moose feeding while he fished.

Viehman Kentucky Press Association 203 W. 2nd Street Lexington, Kentucky 40507 - Dear Jack, The concept that a newspaper should carry advertising only from its imme­ diate area is outmoded, and has been for some time. It is probably based o n the situation which existed 50 or 75 years ago where there was a town, lots of empty space and another town. Each town was sort of a unit, and there was a strong feeling of cohesiveness. The merchants in that town used the newspaper to carry their ads, and the newspaper felt that its obligation to this immediate community. Then the changes name, The automobile and good roads made it easy to get from one community to another. Expanding communities made it difficult to define which community was which. Most serious of all, from the newspa­ per standpoint, was that merchants took to other ways of advertising to their prospects than just the newspaper. The whole economy became more competitive, and probably to the advan­ tage of the community as a whole. At the same time, a series of laws were passed regarding competitive meth­ ods and regulations were created dealing with this topic. The idea, whether we like it or not, is to the effect that no one merchant or group should have an unfair advantage over another. A precedent has been established, and still stands, that a newspaper is not a public utility, but a private enterprise. The publisher can make up his mind what advertising to accept and what to reject, but he must make these decis­ ions within the law. One of the important facts is that he cannot base this decision on withhold­ ing or1 giving economic advantage to any of the advertisers. If he wishes to re­ fuse an ad because he states certain policies, he has the right to do this. If he wishes to refuse an ad because of pressure from other advertisers who try to monopolize the newspaper or restrict competition in any way, he is im­ mediately guilty of violation of the law and subject to suit for three times the damages which can be established on the part of the advertiser refused. It is important for the merchants in his town to realize that they are also guilty erf the law. If they exert any pressure which threatens either the newspa­ per or the competing advertiser by suggesting they will withold advertising or anything similar, they are in violation of the law. They are also subject to a law suit for triple damages. There is no moral, legal, or sound business reason why your publisher can •• not accept advertising from nearby towns. I hope this information will help you and him. It might help also for him to realize that the anti-trust section of the federal government has actually acted in some cases like this, so it not all hypothetical. Best regards, Elmer E. White, Sec’y Michigan Press Assn , EDITOR'S NOTE: The above letter is one which was written by the secretary of the Michigan Press Association addressed to the Kentucky Press Association secretary and contains information worthy of being repeated. It is self-explanatory.

He got right into the heat of the fighting, logging over 1000 hours of combat flying time. He transported troops, ferried supplies, and evacuated wounded—all the time dodging enemy fire. Staton learned to his horror that what he had been taught by the Army over 19 yean was largely ignor­ ed tn Vietnam: "Irs a limited war and limitation is on the military, but in this limited war, I never saw a limited death. " He describes restrictions prohibiting the destruc­ tion of Communist strongholds and supply routes, deals made with the Vietcong, trade policies back home that help to kill our troops, and being shot at while under orders not to shoot back. Staton is a professional who doesn't like the way the war is being conducted. He says, "Playing pol­ itics with an Army doesn't happen to be in the man­ ual " He believes that victory is the only goal for which a serviceman should be sent to face death. He brings to the lecture platform first-hand know­ ledge and long military experience to provide solid answers to the deepening puzzle of the Vietnam War. He challenges every patriotic American to be­ come involved, to help correct the mistakes that are being made in America's name. The Barry County TRAIN Committee is being formed to help restore traditional American princi­ ples to America's foreign policy. Its immediate ac­ tivities will include demanding a prompt halt to all aid and trade with our Communist enemies, and ur­ ging that victory be our goal in Vietnam. Tickets for this speech can be obtained by call­ ing Mr. Lowry at 945-9977, by writing Mr. Lowry, or at the door the night of the speech. OLIN G.

Father ’« Corner "A large crowd was present with Jesus, and a§ain they had nothing to eat"... "They ate until ley were full. " Mk. 8/2-9. Hunger seems to be one of the greatest chal­ lenges for Christians. Our Lord said, "My heart is moved to pity for the crowd. " Then he did something to alleviate the hunger of the people. Today in our villages I know of hungry people. In the larger cities the conditions are even worse. The news each day carries reports of hungry na­ tions. Are Christians being moved to pity today. Do they act in a practical way to alleviate hunger? St. Edward, Lake Odessa, just spent$1,500.00 to beautify its sanctuary, with $5,000.00 left in savings. New churches are being built by the af­ fluent and for the affluent. Isn't there a pitying Christ in our world today, or has his sympathet­ ic heart turned to gold. Rev. R.

These sets are mounted on a special hospital TV cart for patient viewing. The carts are equipped with automatic cord reels and feature remote con­ trol and private pillow speakers. The personal pil­ low speaker allows the patient to listen to TV with­ out disturbing his fellow patient. The patient can also operate the TV from the pillow speaker and need not call a nurse or walk across the room to change channels or turn the set off. In the past, the hospital has received complaints from patients regarding fellow patients who opera­ ted their sets on a high volume. This is no longer a problem with the new sets. The TV hostess i n stalls the sets in the room, instructs the patient on the operation of the set, and collects the fees from the patient. Gift certificates are available forthose who may wish to provide a TV set for a friend or relative who is a hospital patient. These gift cer­ tificates are located"at the business office. The TV hostess is on duty every afternoon seven days a week to fill requests for service. Mr. Fluke, Director of Pennock Hospital, stated that the TV equipment and service at Pennock Hospital is of the latest design and that the hospital is proud to pro­ vide this service to its patients.

His wife and children also attended the din­ ner. . —News Photos Amy and I were both pleased and surprised to receive the American Press Certificate of Appreci­ ation from the Maple Valley JC's the other night. Tim Smith made the presentation during the a in ner in honor of Sam Sessions last Thursday night. It is particularly gratifying to be on the same program with Sammy Sessions. For me this is run­ ning in pretty fast company. Sam has proven him­ self to be fast company when he qualified for the 500 at Indy and then went into the race and stay­ ed in. The dinner honoring Sam, came as the top-off of Sam Sessions Day which was promoted by the Maple Valley JC's. This is just an attempt to let Sam know that all of his home town appreciates him and that we are all pulling for him in all of his races. At the dinner the Nashville Chamber of C o m merce gave Sam some luggage which should come in handy for him as he is on the road from one race to another. Sam has been doing a lot of traveling lately. Within the last year or so he has been to Japan and has been all over the United States racing. 1 think everybody in Nashville was thrilled to know that one of our own was going to be in the 500. Only the best race drives in the world get a crack at qualifying for that race. Many never do qualify and of those who do, many never hang in long enough to finish the race. So it is really some­ thing to have a Nashville boy in the race to the finish. This takes more than just a good machine. It takes a good driver. Sam is just that — a good driver. I think we often do not recognize the accom­ plishments of people close to us. We sometimes minimize the things done by someone local We tend to think the experts are from a long way off. This is tfchy I was particularly happy to hear that the JC's were having the Sam Sessions Dav to let him know that we recognize his accomplishments. The fact that Sam was a part of the big auto race at Indy is not half as important though as the fact that Sam is an important part of the num an race. We in Nashville are proud of Sam not just because he has done an outstanding job of race driving, but because he has done an outstanding job of just being a person. NATIONAL NEWSPAPER] It might be a good idea if the people of the town got together and gave Sam a map of the race­ track at Indy. He might need it next year because if he continue* the way" he has been going he will be at the head of the pack and will have no one to follow. The other day I got into a discussion with a fellow about goats ano he told me that a woman he knows bought a brand new red Mustang which she proudly drove to a farm to show some friends of hers. These farmers had a goat which had the ran of the yard and who was on his way to the bam when this lady pulled into the drive. The'goat didn't bat a n eye when the car blocked his way to the bam. He just jumped to the hood, walked over ths roof and jumped off the back end and proceeded to the bam. He left little goat-foot dent* all over the car. This guy also told me that when he was in the Ar­ my they had a goat which the fellow* in the com­ pany kept for a pet. One day a gang of these guys got together and thought it would ne a big yak to paint the goat.'s horns red and then put him in the officer's mess. So they did just that. They antagonized the poor ani ani-­ mal just enought to make ike him fume a bit and then pushed him into the officer's mess while the officer* were eating in there. The goat made the officer's mess a real mess. The joke backfired on the enlisted men though. The commanding officer lined up the men and ap­ prehended the culprits easily. The goat had not ta­ ken too kindly to having hi* horn* painted and had put up quite a fight. In doing *0 he had liberally splashed red paint over hi* tormentor*.

You know it's done right when you have them aligned hei Trowbridge Sales & Service 130 S. Main, Vermontville Ph 259-7285 Father ’« Corner From our own experience we know that Peter was right when he wrote to the Romans (Ch6/23) "The wages of sin is death. “ I really don't think this has to be advertised, for it is common place knowledge. But what most people don't realize is that they "have been freed from sin. " and that "God's gift is eternal life. " i. e. starting now. How does this freedom happen in the realm of practical daily life? Does it magteally happen somehow when one is baptized or has gone to Confession? In our Christian experience again, I believe, we’d all agree that this isn't always the case. Christ left the church at Easter the power of freedom and peace in the admonition to forgive one another. Peace and freedom ean come only through reconciliation between individuals and peoples -- ndtever through fighting and war. Reconciliation can happen only when men ac­ knowledge their common frailty and mutual harm done to one another. In the Catholic Church this reconciliation has taken the form of the priest representing the community in the comeuional box. A new form of reconciliation or confession is now being de­ veloped by which people are directly involved with one another in the peace-making. -making. Then sacramentally it is celebrated by the priest and of God's �CAROLYN JEAN GORIS Mr. and Mis.

I. stated that we backed the wrong party during 1954 in Vietnam. During that time, Ho Cni Ming was not an international-conspired communist; his inter­ est was to unify Indo China and kick out all foreign military forces. However, due to religious reasons, we backed the late President Dien of South Viet­ nam. Therefore, we drove Ho Chi Ming to the arms of the Chinese Communists. The bond between Ho Chi Ming and the Chinese Communist Government became much closer. Historically, however, the resentment between China and Indo China is very, very strong. Because of the division between North Vietnam and South Vietnam, Ho Chi Ming had to seek assistance from Red China. It is a natural tendency for Ho Chi A DIGNIFIED FUNERAL SERVICE WITHIN EVERYONE'S MEANS VOGT FUNERAL HOMES Nashville CALL OL3-2612 or CL9-8955 Vermontville HELEN’S BEAUTY SHOP ENGINE SUMMER­ READY KEEP YOUR CAR TUNED-UP.

In this case. Ho Chi Ming is no exception. For Red China, this provided a wonderful oppor­ tunity for exploitation of the conflict. The Chinese Communists use propaganda against "American Im­ perialism. " On the other hand? the Chinese use A­ merican military forces to weaken the North Viet­ namese military strength which borders with Red China. This will indirectly help future Chinese Communist domination in that area. At the same time, this is a good opportunity for the Chinese to embarrass the Russians, who have not helped the North Vietnamese enough by exerting pressure in Europe. The three points mentioned are a policy the Chinese Communists refer to as "one stone kill­ ing three birds." I am pleased finally to see Ho Chi Ming is will­ ing to be rescued from the Chinese Communists' domination by being willing to discuss peace in Paris. To me, I believe a suppressed Ho Chi Ming is no different from any other refugee trying to es­ cape dictatorial domination, which tries to destroy your self-respect and national independence. As a fellow refugee from Chinese Communist domina­ tion, I am grateful to LBJ’s rescue of Ho Chi Ming.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION INTERPRETING THE NEWS FEWER DEATHS Unless Labor Day drastically altered the picture, Michigan motorists have an impressive traffic record for 1967. Michigan traffic deaths on holidays, weekendsand during the week have dropped sharply from last year* levels while they remained unchanged nationwide says the Automobile Club of Michigan. In its continuing study of traffic mishaps, AAA re­ ported that during the first six months of this year, including the July 4 holiday, highway fatalities were down more than .17 percent. Injuries dropped an es­ timated 10 percent. Traffic volume remained at 1966 levels. What accounted for the improvement? Auto Club General Manager Fred Rehm attributes a major share of decrease to better driving habits of the state's 4 1/2 million motorists. "Michigan motorists are getting the message... the vast majority of good driven appear to be using that extra bit of careful­ ness and alertness to safety that is all they need to get them home safely. And more of the bad ones who've shown by their past records they are unfit to drive seem to be off the roads... on holidays at least," Rehm said. Michigan's July 4th death rate was down 18 per­ cent from last year. Among the seven largest states, in terms of vehicle registration. Michigan listed 30 deaths, up 7 percent over last year. Tais in com parison to Texas which recorded 71 deaths, up 73 percent from 1966. Much room for improvement remained, the study notes. Ninety-one percent of all highway accidents which occurred in Michigan duringthe July 4 th weekend involved "driver error. " The four top "errors" were excessive speed, loss of vehicle con­ trol, right-of-way violations and drunk driving. Driven with unsatisfactory driving records again contributed heavily to fatal accidents. Nine of the. 28 known Michigan driven involved in traffic deaths had more than the so- called average 1 i f e time record of four points. CRIME INCREASES Annual report of crime in the United States, re­ leased by the "FBI, shows another significant in­ crease in crimes of all types. Currently the in­ crease in crime outstrips population growth by al­ most seven-to-one. In Michigan, a total of 182, 045 crimes were committed in 1966. Burglary accounted for78,353; larceny for 47, 552; auto theft, 29, 277; robbery, 13, 061; aggravated assault, 11, 411, and forcible rape, 1,998. Murder and non-negligent man­ slaughter totaled 393. Michigan's Highland Park led the nation in total crimes committed in cities from 25, 000 to 50, 000 population. A total of 2, 848 crimes were reported there in 1966. Lowest in the nation in that popula­ tion category was South Euclid; Ohio, with only 67 crimes. FEMALE RESTRICTIONS The 10-hour day, 54-hour week limitations for women employees will be lilted Nov. 2. The 1909 statute which set the labor ceilings for female* was repealed this year when the legislature decided the law had become outmoded by other statutes, par­ ticularly by the Federal Equal Opportunity Law. Scheduling of hours should become easier for employers with women on the payroll, but other statutes will protect females from working under conditions which the State Labor Department may consider injurious. The Michigan State Chamber of Commerce back­ ed the move to scrap the 1909 law. The chamber represents hosts of employers of women throughout the state. "Progress has to be made," Mid William A. Wickham, legislative counsel fot the chamber. ELDERLY HOUSING Senior citizen housing in Michigan is on an up­ swing. reports the Michigan Commission on Aging. In 1964 only 22 communities had completed or were developing low-rent bousing projects designed for the elderly. These tow led 163 completed units in five comm un .ties. By June of this year, 62 Michigan communities were involved in Building and planning 7, 898 units. Eighteen communities now have 1,152 units .in op­ eration. • . • A growing problem has been the shortage of train­ ed personnel to manage housing projects. This is partially solved by new training programs instituted at Wayne State University and U-M. There is still much to ne done if Michigan is to reach to goal of 100, 000 units fot elderly housing by 1974, the commisstoo noted. The Maple Valley New*.

They said they had four leisurely days paddling down the PereMarquette. Of course they said the paddling was not too difficult because the current of the rivet is rath­ er strong. They put in somewhere near Baldwin and came Aout at Ludington. The trip took them from Monday to Thursday afternoon. A bunch of Maple Valley girls, chaparooned by Iris Wion and Mrs. Barrette, went camping at the camp ground at Ludington and, (what do you know?) they just happened to meet there. Amy and I took a station wagon up to Ludington on Saturday and then we went on to- Charlevoix in the Mustang. The kids seemed to have enjoyed themselves. I suppose it is good for them to get out in the air and get a bit of exercise. Looking at their camp sites though, did not fill me with any great desire to go camping. The older I grow the less enchanted I become with the thought of sleeping on the hard ground, getting up in a cold tent and putting on damp clothes. Cooking break­ fast over an open fire has somehow lost its appeal for me. It must be extreme old age creeping up. The summer which has hardly started is fading al­ ready. Much of the grain has been harvested. The fairs have started and some of them have ended. A chilly haze hangs over the fields in the mornings. The days are getting shorter, and just the other day I saw a Christmas display in a store window. "Christ­ mas in July?” the sign said, "Why not?" Why not indeed.... but still I hate to see them rush the seas­ on. Traffic seems to move smoothly until some nut drifting down the road at thirty miles per hour jams up everything for miles behind him. I wonder if these people realize just how danger­ ous they are. This type of driving is just as bad as driving too fast. The one who drives too fast seems to realize he is doing it. At the speed of 80 or 90 miles an hour one must stay alhrt. The driver going at this speed must work at driving. But the guy who drifts down the highway at 30, seems to be doing it quite at his leisure and so is oft in a dream, really not know­ ing what consternation he is causing behind him. A photographer friend of mine told me about a little problem he ran into once a few years ago. He and a reporter were on an assignment which was to take a couple of days. Since this assignment was way up north and the main office of the company he worked for was in Detroit, they took a company car and they got a motel room to stay overnight. In the early evening they decided they should go fishing. So they took the company car to a lake where the natives said they could catch fish. They parked the car just in front of the boat launching ramp and got out to see where the best fishing place might be. My friend, the driver of the car, thought he had put it in park but he really hadn't, and the darn car started toward the lake. Wildly shouting and waving their arms, both men took off trying to overtake the car. Friend did catch it. He got the door open and got in and just as he was trying to feel the brake with his foot he realized that the water was up to his knees. Now these two guys wondered how in the world they were going to get the car back on dry land. Buddy waded around to the front of the car and lifted the hood and told Friend to start her up. She started all right, but the fan was under water and sent a shower covering Buddy and drowning the en­ gine. They had to go to town to get a truck to tow them out of the water and they never did tell the motor pool what happened to the car. If they were asked they decided to just say they thought ft had a slight leak. Harold Christiansen, who worked out $480.00 dur­ ing the syrup season has donated his money to the replacement of maple trees in the area. I understand that 29 new trees will be planted this year. «* "AS I SEE IT” written by Paul P. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P.

Letter to Editor 1 know that this will make me some enemies and lose some friends. I might get me some new friends that feel the same as I do. I would not let my boys join the Little League due to some of the things I had heard about how mana­ gers only wanted to win games and not teach the boys to play the game right. I finally decided to let my boys join. I went to one practice. At the first game I was told I would have to be the manager. I have enjoy­ ed being the manager and I have a very good team. This team is sponsored by Wheeler Manne. This team must be the best team in the league, because when I play all but one of the teams in my league, they are afraid to let me have some of their players so I can play with a full team, or they give me any boy. It appears that they feel if I get one or two good men I would win. I think that Wheeler Marine should be very proud <rf their team as we always play oversized boys; often have to play a team that has more than 9 men and we play 7 men, but we play hard and fair. I went to a meeting of the managers just before we started the season in which we set some rules of our own to make the games more even, fair and fun for the boys. It seems that myself and only one other manager has forgotten those rules. The other night I could not manage my team so my wife took over the job. She knows nothing a­ bout basebalL The opposing team had 11 men; I had 7 men. No one offered to help her with the job in spite of the fact that the opposing team had lots of help. I have never had any help with this team. I have to leave to go to Air National Guard camp and will be gone for the next three weeks so we have no manager at this writing. I wonder what will happen to my very good team that is so feared by the rest of the league. Manager, Wesley M.

For more than ten years I have studied the Michigan political situation and in my book Rom­ ney-- which many of you have read--! believe I* demonstrate my grasp of Michigan’s political cur­ rents. It is my conclusion that we need fresh leadership in Lansing. The fact is, in two full years, the in­ cumbent has passed only one piece of legislation— a bill that raised the price of grapes! I believe that is a sad commentary when our state faces so many pressing priority problems. During the campaign I have shown a need to change the Branch Office License System which drains $150,000 yearly from Michigan's citizens. I have urged the re-shuffling of our crazy-quilt wel­ fare system. I have proposed programs that will mean $6 to $10 million for our state economy, gone on record to decrease our dependence on property ux and have also pledged myself to programs of law and order.

Why then should you choose a passbook savings account at our association in preference to some other avenue of investment. The answer is flexibility . . . and simplicity! Let's examine the many advantages of the passbook account. 1. With passbook savings you add or withdraw funds as you please . . . earnings may be retained in the ac­ count to compound, or paid out regu­ larly by check. 2. The money in your account is free from speculative risk and the unpre­ dictable ups and downs of the stock market. 3. You always know your balance at a glance and can easily tabulate what your savings have earned ... or the sum needed to complete your goal. 7 4. No huge minimum balance is required to qualify for the generous rate we pay on passbook savings. 5. There are no restrictions, nor any “hardship claim" to sign upon with­ drawal. 6. You need not lock up savings for an extended period of time to earn a good rate of return. 7. There is no certificate requiring safe­ keeping. 8. Passbook savings earn our current rate; whereas many certificates of de­ posit pay you less than the advertised yield if you redeem them prior to the term stated on the certificate. 4% % Per Annum on all Savings These are the reasons why most savers make a passbook savings account their first choice for profitable employment of family cash reserves. If your aims are the same, then a passbook-handy savings account at our association should be your choice, too.

City children enjoy week in Nashville Three tired, but happy children headed back for Detroit Sunday after spending a glorious week in the wide open spaces. The children, Michael, 8, and his sisters, Michele, 6 and Melanie, 5, accompan­ ied by their mother, Mrs. Elaine Ward, has spent the week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Edwin Smith. The trip to Nashville was sponsored by the Friendly Family Plan of the United Methodist Churches. It is difficult for those who live in a small com­ munity to realize the thrill of these negro children as they saw for the first time in their lives, horses, pigs, lambs, sheep and chickens. They rode ponies for the first time, visited a dairy farm, hiked back to a woods to pick up pine cones, and Michael had his first try at .fishing, first at Algonquin Lake, then later in Tnornapple River, fishing off the bridge on North Main Street in Nashville. Even riding in an automobile was a thrilling experience for tnese youngsters who seldom have a chance at something simply taken for granted by many. Tne children's mother, Mrs. Ward, is a parish worker in the Hillcrest United Methodist Church in Detroit. Cassidy will attend police training At Thursday night's village council meeting,Har­ old Norris announced the arrangements have been completed to have William Cassidy, Superintend­ ent of the Sewage Disposal plant, attend a 4-week police training schooL This will be held in Lansing and will start in early September. The village will be reimbursed approximately 507° of his wages dur­ ing the period he is in school. Plans now indicate that Cassidy will later be hired as a part-time as­ sistant to the Nashville Police Department. Otto Dahm, who is serving as a Council represen­ tative on the Centennial Committee, asked for fi­ nancial assistance from the village to promote a centennial celebration next summer. No action was taken by the council at this time. Russell Mead, Castleton township supervisor, ad­ dressed the council on a matter concerning a fence dispute. Since the two persons involved live within the village limits, the township fence viewers can­ not settle the matter and it was turned over to the village officials. Harold Christiansen, village pres­ ident, will appoint fence viewers from the CounciL No one was named at Thursday's meeting. Mr. Mead also called attention to the fact that exemptions for disabled veterans have been raised from $2, U00 to $2, 500 in the township and that next year it would changed within the village. This is the same exemption as that allowed for senior citizens now. He also reminded the Council that Bany County would vote in November on a 16 1/2 mill limitation, or 1 1/2 mills over the 15-mill limitation. He explained that presently the 15 mill provides the following: 8 mills to schools; . 7 mills to town­ ship; 6.14 to county, and . 16 mills to intermedi­ ate education. Witn the increase of 1 1/2 mills, it would provide the following: 8. 5 mills to schools; 1 mill to township; 6. 8 to county, and . 2 to imtermediate education. Mr. Mead brought samples of the primary ballots and explained the re-districting of the townships throughout the county which will result in a 10-man boarcL Some discussion followed. Village officers have been invited to attend a meeting in Lansing of the Municipal League. This meeting will be held September. 19. The discussion of the ambulance service seems to indicate that it is working out well. The Village has signed a con­ tract with the Michigan Highway Department on maintaining the trunK lines. Four new water services have been installed recently and one new sewer ser­ vice added. Edward C. Baker, head of the Charlotte Disposal Service, attended the meeting. Mr. Baker was the low bidder on a three-year contract for NashviUe garbage and trash pick-up. This will begin August one and Mr. Baker reviewed his policies with the Coun­ ciL The office of the vUlage clerk, Mrs. Ada SkedgeU, will be closed from August 3 to August 12.

NASHVILLE. MICHIGAN, THURSDAY. AUGUST 8. 1968 Carl Tuttle dies at 88 Carl H. Tuttle, 88, of 224 East Sher­ man Street, died Monday in Fergurson Hospital, Grand Rapids. He had been in failing health several months, and was admitted to the hospital only a short time before his death. He came to Nashville in 1898 and the following year accepted a position with the Farmers & Merchants bank. He left the back to accept a position in the office of the Secretary of State for six years, 1905 to 1911 and had charge of the auto license bureau when it was organized in 1908. He then returned to the Nashville bank where he completed 25 years as director and assistant cash­ ier. Mr. Tuttle Was elected a member of the village council in 1917 and served as chairman of the street committee. It was that year Main Street was paved.

He served the board as treasurer one year and trustee for five.

Wins "God and Country" award Steven Sunton, 14, son of Mt. and Mrs. William Sunton, 144 South Main Street, Vermontville, has earned the God and Country award. The badge was presented to him Sunday, July 28, by the Rev. Leon­ ard Maunder Ln the Congregational Church. The God and Country award is not easy to come by. For Steven it has meant 14 months of hard work and study. It was necessary for him to study the bas­ ic theology of the Congregational church on all lev­ els, national, state and local levels; make an ana­ lytical study of the bible; study the outreaches of tne church in regard to missionary and educational enterprises; be qualified to lead a service, and in addition spend bouts doing various types of work for the church. Steven has been a Boy Scout about two years, but his active participation along various lines has earn­ ed him 33 merit badges. His Scoutmaster is Henry CowelL After Steven received his award he presented his parents with miniature replicas for their encourage­ ment in his behalf. The God and Country award is not given by the Scout organizagion, but rather by the Ministerial Portestant Committee, which was approved by the Chief Okemos Scout Council of Lansing. This was the first such award ever presented by the Vermontville Congregational Church, and only the third such recognition given by the Rev. Maunder in his many years tn the ministry. The previous two weie given while he was in Illinois. The award is one rarely earned, but richly deserved. Steven has completed all of his work to become an Eagle Scout. �BACKSTREET BAROMETER by john boughton The Village of Vermontville appears to be indeep trouble because it is unable to comply with an or­ der to install a sewage disposal system. Probably everyone in Vermontville would agree that dumping raw sewage in the river it not a good thing to do and yet wnere does a town of this size with a tax base that they have, get the money to put in sewers and to install a sewage disposal system? Polluting the river is certainly wrong and the prac­ tice should be stopped immediately. This is all well and good for me to say or for the courts to say, but somewhere, someone has to raise some money to pay for this and just where is the money supposed to come from? Many of the people of Vermontville on a fixed income would be hard-pressed to raise more money for taxes to pay for a sewage disposal system. O f course, I suppose the answer is the same old a n swer that we get for many of our financial problems: "Look to Uncle Sam. " Surely this problem of river pollution is not the problem of Vermontville alone. This is the problem of our entire state, of our en­ tire nation, probably of the entire world. We're polluting our streams and our lakes at an unprece­ dented rate and we must stop it! To stop it however, does mean money. I have a suspicion the state and the federal government. would wiggle a long time before they break loose with the money for a sewage disposal system for Vermontville. The shame of this, so far as I can see, is that people didn't realize fifty years ago that it was wrong to pollute a river, and fifty years ago, done something about it when they could af­ ford it. An added shame of it is that we're willing to spend money for things that don't count, but can't afford to put forth a little money for something that will be of lasting good. If we declare one day off in Vietnam, just stop killing and destroying for one day, the money saved would no doubt be enough to buy a new sewage disposal system for Vermontville and probably thousands of other villages this size. The shame is that we can afford to spend fantastic amounts of mopey on destruction and can't afford actually a paltry amount of money to save our riv­ ers and our streams, indeed, our land. The Great Lakes lamphrey program is suffering right now because the Federal government cannot afford to pay some $270,000 needed to carry on the program. This same government spends $270, 000 in a matter of minutes defoliating a jungle half-way around the world. It just doesn't make sense. Church News UNITED METHODIST STATE STREET The fifteen members of the Junior Choir of the United Methodist Church on State Street, presented the morning worship service last Sunday in song.

Chien Publishing Agency Social permissiveness short changes the child Many middle-aged parents today complain about the restlessness of our social structure. It has al­ ways been a most common practice in our indus­ trial society to pass responsibility to one's subordin­ ates or colleagues in order to survive. Most cf us have to examine our own responsibilities and duties to the family, community, profession and to our own position. In most cases, we blindly blame our today's social unrest to communist conspiracy, poor educational system, bad politicians. However, in very rare cases, have I ever heard a parent say, "Maybe I am too weak in disciplining my children." I have interviewed many young college students, as well as high school students, who have expressed their dissatisfaction for the lack of guidance from their family. They pointed out the encouragement of their parents for early dating for the purpose of social acceptability. In many cases, the parents wished for the children to make up their own mind even though they were only fourteen or fifteen years old concerning meir education, career or special­ ized field. In so many instances the parents were so proud to state their liberal mindedness in letting their children decide what they want to do. It is my opinion children deserve better tre a t merit in me coming years. Our children deserve guidance and teaching.

The care and affection of the children's future is more important co this nation's future. There is need for less selfishness on the part of the parents. This principle can also be applied to the relation­ ship between the busband and wife. To assume the leadership in family affairs by a husband is by no means to be misinterpreted as the husband no long­ er having love for his wife when he assumes leader/firmly believe to have a successful and stabil­ ized society, we may have to revitalize the role of leadership of the father, respect to elders, and fam­ ily discipline in order to have a mote orderly, pro­ gressive society.

As Man becomes conscious of God’s truth it is written down in meaningful thought patterns ac­ cording to man’s social and cultural understandln^The Pope has made a beautiful plea for the holiness and sacredness of life and Marriage. But it seems to have been made in the thought pat­ terns of the past centuries. For those who under­ stand him, they have a certain guidance for their practical lives. For those who have developed a new under­ standing of what is meant by the words " natural law’, ’’human life, " and "personal relationship" will have to continue to search their hearts in ap­ plying Christ’s unselfish and redeeming love to their daily lives. They must translate the Pope’s purpose and words to tneir new Christian con­ sciousness of parental responsibilities before the God of infinite truth and goodness. But above all, one may not act or live con­ trary to his personal conscience. Rev. R.

Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, August 8. 1968 �UUW Uldd»DU 6AVOUCH I Norm-All Citation Anette 5806993, a Registered Holstein cow owned by Norman Wilmore, Vermont­ ville, has been officially classified 'Excellent" -the highest designation attainable in the type classifi­ cation program of the Holstein-Friesian Association of America. This highly select designation is applied only to animals scoring 90 or more of the 100 points repre­ senting theoretical perfection in body conformation. Of over 84,000 Registered Holsteins officially class­ ified for type last year, only 1, 540 were rated "Ex­ cellent. " This animal moved into the "Excellent" bracket at 90 points for the first time during a recent class­ ification of the herd. Classifier was Roger P. Denny, Frederick, Maryland, staff member of the national’ Holstein organization. Animals scored "Excellent" in previous programs are not included in this listing. The Classification Program - in continuous oper­ ation since 1929 - provides a universally recogniz­ ed method of comparing the conformation of living animals with that of the True-Type Holstein cow or bull. Participation is currently at an all-time high level. In a game lasting only 4 Innings on Tuesday, Ju­ ly 30, Wheeler Marine won over Makers IGA 20 to 6.

Rhoades of 210 Sherman Street, Nashville, will observe their 50th wedding anniversary Sunday, August 18. An open house will be held from 2 to 5 p. m. at the South Maple Grove United Methodist Church located on the Dowling Rd. Friends and relatives are invited to attend. Mr. Rhoades and the former Alice Ridgway were married January 9, 1919, in West Unity, Ohio, by the Rev. Arthur Smith. The couple moved to Nash­ ville in 1927 and Mr. Rhoades started preaching in the South Maple Grove Church. He was ordained in 1948. In 1929 the North Maple Grove Church was added. In 1938 the couple moved to Scottsville where Rev. Rhoades served for 12 years; to Gladwin for five years; Chesaning, one year, and Evart, two years. Rev. Rhoades retired in 1958 and they moved oacK to Nashville. However, they needed a minis­ ter at the South Maple Grove Church, so Rev. Rhoades took over, and in 1960 he became pastor of the North Maple Grove Church also. In 1967 Rev. Rhoades was honored by the South Maple Grove Church for his 40 years in the ministry. Wherever the couple went they promoted building projects, one of the major projects being that at the South Maple Grove Church, where a splendid addi­ tion was dedicated in 1961. This included a large addition complex with basement, kitchen and Sun­ day school rooms. In addition to his ministry. Rev. Rhoades lias work­ ed as a decorator and carpenter. He estimates he has performed over 125 marriages, preached at 250 funerals and has baptised at least 100 persons. He delivered the first baccalaureate sermon held in the new Maple Valley High SchooL During his early years as a pastor, money was scarce, and often they were paid in potatoes, pro­ duce, meat, eggs and even laundry. Rev. Rhoades has never missed attending an an­ nual conference, where he has served on numerous committees. Mrs. Rhoades attended only once, the year he was ordained. Mrs. Rhoades has taught several Sunday School classes over the yean, and on one occasion served as superintendent of the primary department. Rev. and Mrs. Rhoades have seven children. Ford of Byron, Ohio, Edgar of Topeka, Kansas; Paul of Gladwin, Von of Smithfield, North Carolina, Mrs. Dale (Bernice) Conklin of Dowling, Mrs. Forrest (Naomi) Watson of Naples, New York, and Mrs. James (Ruth Ann) King of Bellevue. There are 11 grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. Because weather conditions might prevent some of their children attending a wedding anniversary next January, the open house is being held early.

This is one of many facts presented in the 24-page booklet. Truck Transportation in Michigan, an in­ dustry fact book published by Michigan Trucking As­ sociation. In Barry County there are 3,465 trucks registered. The numoer of persons whose employment is direct­ ly related to motor truck transportation in Barry County is 2,112. Their annual earnings were $14, 678,400. Truck Transportation in Michigan explains the in­ dustry's role as a taxpayer. Emphasis is placed on the special highway use taxes paid by trucks. MichSan trucks build 31 of every 100 miles of highway; so, in Michigan annual road taxes paid by one large transport truck (about'$2800) are equal to the payments of 25 automobiles ($112) Barry County truck taxes distributed to local gov­ ernments during fiscal 1967 totaled $250, 624. This plus the state and federal funds expended by the Michigan Department of State Highways brings the truck portion of total monies distributed and expend­ ed in our county to $294,136. Tourist Council advises side road trips Sightseers and other visitors to Michigan who really want to see the Great Lake State should get off those beautiful freeways and on to the side road— where the traffic action isn't, the Michigan Tourist Council advises. L> participating in the sunpiking experiment, the Michigan tourist office offers a few suggestions: 1. Take along a map, but use it only in emer­ gencies. 2. Use a car compass and surprise your passengers with wonderful feats of navigation. 3. Don't set a rigid time-table, and, at the same time, keep your arms and legs from becom­ ing rigid by getting out and stretching when­ ever you feel like it. 4. By all means, use your camera. 5. Keep a log of your trip. 6. ' Pack a snack of pre-packaged foods--just in case.

New books placed on the shelves this week in­ clude 4 botony and zoology handbooks. One of these deals mainly with mushrooms and other non-flower­ ing plants, making it easy to tell which species are edible delicacies and which are poisonous. Another special publication from the National Geographic Society, entitled "Australia" has been received. This is an immensely interesting book with 220 colorful and informative pages. Other titles are "R. F. K. - His Life and Death, " "Chronicles of Negro Protest, " "We're on Your Side, Charley Brown," '’Diving Into the Past," which has many fine illustrations and accounts of underwater ' ‘ , and "Facts About the Presidents. ’ Father’s Corner The story of the Pharisee and the sinner who went to the temple to pray has some interesting implications in it. For instance, why does the righteous man haveto judge and hold everyone else in contempt. I .think it is because-basically he is threatened by the sinner. He is insecure in his holiness. The < Pharisee seems to be living the hard life; be does everything just right. He even uses his money in tithing to secure his position. But who gets the breaks from God? The Sinner! The guy who can­ not afford to pay his way. The good man's pride in himself is threatened by the bad man's humble position because the proud man is a self-made man, whereas the humble man realizes that he must rely on others and God. So the one is an insecure position be­ cause it is false, while the sinner's position is true and secure because it fits all men even the righteous. Now apply this to Peace, race, poverty in this country. Rev. R.

The career producer has been credited with more than 100,000 lbs. of milk output under official testing supervision. The owner, Hubert Long, Woodland, has been notified that Hulong Baron Kate has produced 102,430 lbs. of miUc and 3, 918 lbs. of butterfat in 3, 357 days since becoming two years of age. Because of current replacement heifer rearing and purchase costs, cows that stay in the herd longer and achieve high lifetime production levels nave proven to be more profitable. The Holstein Associ­ ation has more than 26, 800 cows on file that have attained the 50-ton production milestone. Production levels of this magnitude can be attri­ buted -to scientific advances in feeding and man­ agement practices coupled with the genetic im provement and longevity of Registered Holsteins.

We have a letter in the paper today from Dorothy Swift, the superintendent of the Nortn Maple Grove Sunday School. The letter is entitled "I voted to close a Church" and it goes on to say that the writer has helped to close a church because she has not been as faithful in attendance as she thinks she should have been. I don't know exactly what this means. It indi­ cates that possibly the North Maple Grove Church is thinking of suspending services. Or at least that Mrs. Swift thinks there is this possibility because of poor attendance. Actually even if this were the case, it would not mean that an entire church has suspended services or that an entire church is even thinking of suspend­ ing services. It might mean though, that a small group belonging to a church might cease to hold services in their building. It might mean that one group, belonging to a church does not now, in this time and in mis place, have enough attendance to warrant holding regular services. This is too bad. It is something we hate to see. This little church, this congregation in the country, represents something that is the roots and the life­ blood of our history. Our forefathers, when they fust settled Michigan, attended small churches in the country and they developed a firm, fine attach­ ment that all of us, you and I have, for the things that we remember of our childhood. Often these things of our childhood, that we look on so fondly, we would not actually like to go back to.... the old rusty pump, the outhouse, the oil lamps, things that can be looked back upon hap­ pily, because somehow, nature builds into us a short memory for the unhappy things and makes us tend to remember the happy aspects of the past. This attachment to the past is a deeply emotion­ al thing. This is not to say it is bad, it u just to say it is emotional.' The attachment to this little church is emotional, just as our attachment to the little old school is emotional. _ But times have changed and things have happen­ ed to the church. Things today are happening to many churches. And the Christian church, if it is to survive, must change and continue to change. It is too bad that a small congregation must cease. But we must realize that all things in life are changing. The wild, independent rural society of our forefathers is gone. Agriculture has changed from their time to ours, transportation has chang­ ed, communication has changed. As these things have changed, farms have fallen by the wayside. Entire small villages have disappeared. Country stores have become a thing of the past. Crews of threshers going from one farm to the other have gone. Farms have consolidated, schools have con­ solidated, small town businesses have consolidated. These things have changed the picture of life in a small rural community. Despite the emotion with which one might view the cessation of a congregation, this really does not mean that all the work of the Christian Church must stop. It does not mean that children shall no longer be taught, or that children will no longer sing. It might mean that they will learn in a different place, perhaps, in a slightly different manner and that their song will be a new one. This does not neces­ sarily mean that ignorance will fall upon the entire land, though it may appear that way now. These things did not happen because one person failed to attend church. It happened because we are living in a time of terrific change. Ten years today can bring about more change than ten cen­ turies did up to the turn of the century. Indeed we all have things we look back upon fondly, and remember and wish we could have back, the red schoolhouse, the little country church the country store, home churned butter, homemade icecream, firecrackers on the Fourth of July, clean, beautiful rivers where kids can swim with no fear of being dipped in polution, the Model A Ford and Betty Boon. Don't despair, Mrs. Swift. The church has not ceased, it is only changing. Small churches, small schools, small towns, small businesses, are all fac­ ing change. We don't want to nor could we success­ fully block this change. We must go with it, ac­ cept it and do what we can to see that It is a change for the good. I VOTED TO CLOSE THE CHURCH Last Sunday I voted to close the church--not in­ tentionally, nor maliciously—but carelessly, thoughtlessly, lazily, indifferently, I voted. I vo­ ted to close its doors that its witness and its testi­ mony might be stopped. I voted to close the open Bible--the Bible that had been given us by years of struggle and by blood of martyrs who dieo that we might have it to read. I voteo for our minister to stop preaching the glorious truths of the GospeL I voted that the children of the Sunday School no longer be taught the stories of the Bible and no long­ er lift their tinv voices in singing. I voted for the voice of the choir and the congre­ gation to be stilled, and that they no longer sing in united praise. I voted for every missionary of the church to be called home, every native worker supported by the church to stop preaching, every hospital, every school, and every dispensary in its foreign mission­ ary fields to close. I voted that every home miss­ ionary project be abandoned, every Influence for good and right and for truth in our community to be curtailed and finally stopped. I voted for the darkness of superstition, the degrading influence of sin, the blight of ignorance and the curse of selfish greed once again to settle their damning load on the shoulders of an already overburdened world. I voted for all this. For you see, I could have gone and I should have gone, but I didn't. I stayed away from church last Sunday. Author Unknown. An Editorial Blood donors needed "AS I SEE IT" written by Paul P. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency Who deserves the freedom and independence The current trend of college graduates who seek for employment is that they usually desire to join a large organization with a long term pension plan or federal, state, or municipal employment with the protection of the civil service system. In some ex­ treme cases, individuals wished to enter the teach­ ing profession because they wanted the tenure sys­ tem for job security. Some join the gigantic union­ ized organization in order to have their security for­ ever and ever. In many cases, they will be very inpartial in their political views or they will be very discreet of their own conviction. Especially, when they reach 30 or 40 years of age, thev are so afraid to lose a job which may jeopardize the ac­ cumulated pension fund that may amount to hun­ dreds of thousands of dollars. They are willing to suffer their stomach ulcers, physical impotency, al­ coholic behavior. The only occasional release they have is a one or two weeks' vacation.

Entered at the Post Office at Nashville, Michigan Barry County, as Second Class Matter EDITOR 4 PUBLISHERS John and Amy Boughton SUBSCRIPTION RATES Barry A Eaton Counties 13. 00 per year Elsewhere in United States S3. 50 per year I have seen many university professors so afraid to stand up to express their dedicated conviction in order to please the administration and so many tal­ ented executives willing to make a compromise in decision in order to wait out their pensions. In many - cases, even young leaders are so afraid to exercise their right to disagree with other leaders or inter­ national representatives because of their fear to lose their elected offices. In these cases, I do not believe we can consider these individuals as possessing the freedom and in­ dependence. I think our constitutional rights have been abused by themselves because of their fear. The fear is within themselves which results in a to­ tally mental self-torture. We have condemned the Russians and Chinese for their communistic pressure. We sympathize with the people who have lost their freedom and liberty because they are afraid of phys­ ical torture and maybe even death itself. But, I be­ lieve it is very important for us to be aware in our academic field to teach our students not to fear a­ bout losing a job because of job security alone. Many of our industrial leaden have the courage to risk their capital and economic security because Sbelieved in the free enterprise system. To tain a high economic productivity we must not restrain the free labor market. A long term pension can be considered as a long term slave contract in many industries. It is also unwise for industry to keep the productive executive in office because of fear of an increase in the term of rate which may affect the pressure insurance rate. In a free society the employee must remain free to seek the best offer for talent and performance. The employer must have the right to have the best workers in nis plant. This theory also applies to the educational institutions as well as organized labor unions. We must have dedicated educators, young leaden, and civil service employees because this great society of oun deserves the best and not rnediocracy. This Labor Day weekend someone you know may die because area blood reserves are dangerously low. The demand for blood is constant, but the supply is not. Blood supplies are rapidly used up over a' long holiday weekend. When supplies before the weekend are already very low, someone, maybe someone close to you, may suffer because there was not enough blood for proper treatment. Labor Day isn't a fun-filled holiday for everyone. Your unit of blood may save the life of a person dy­ ing of shock, injuries or burns. It may be used for someone undergoing surgery, for treating anemia or to help both a mother and her infant in childbirth. To help save a life takes only an hour of your time and a unit of blood, which nature will replace in a short time. Blood will be available to patients through the Labor Day period; only if donors give now. Don't let a lack of concern on your pan be the cause of a personal tragedy. Donate blood today. AU types of blood are needed, urgently, between now and September 6. Father *«. Corner Here is an interesting historical sketch of the manner in which the church forgave sins through the centuries. Originally of course the Lord appHed forgive­ ness at the Resurrection and was continued in die church^jhrough conversion and baptism. Once baptized the question arose; could a sin­ ner again be reconciled to the Christian commun­ ity? St. Paul and other early sources are not clear on this point. Sometimes they seem to say that certain sins could not be forgiven; at other times, that they could. But from about the second to the sixth centuries we find that the custom arose that a Christian could be absolved but only once after baptism, and that publicly by his Bishop after undergoing a severe penitential discipline. And even after re­ conciliation there were Imposed strict penances. Some of these were even permanent. Needless to say the sacrament of Penance was muaUy post­ poned as long as possible, normally just before death. Private confession and absolution began around the 7th century, being introduced by the monte in the British Isles, ■ By the 13th century cannon law regulated the sacrament and divided tin into public excommuni­ cation and personal guilt. r ° Rev.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION NEW CHANCE If you do not have a high school diploma, there may be an opportunity to get one at practically no cost through your local school system. Last June . some 4, 000 diplomas were awarded to Michigan ’ people who took advantage of the high school com­ pletion program conducted by 120 school districts throughout the state. Registration for fall courses is slated for Septem­ ber 9-27. Tb register, an applicant need only con­ tact his local high schooL Programs vary from dis­ trict to district but are generally designed to a c commodate needs of adults. Credit is given for a chievement, improvement and employment. Adult level night classes are held for those who work. Enrollment in the program has increased 400% since 1964 when the Legislature lifted age restric­ tions on students earning their diplomas. Prior to that time, local school districts received no state funds for students over 20 years of age. In order to meet expenses, districts charge students $20 to $25 per course. Adults may now attend school without charge. Success of the program is obvious, the Michigan Department of Education points out. In 1964 some 30,000 adults age 25 and over were enrolled in classes. Estimates for this fall exceed 120, 000. More needs to be done, the educators maintain. Presently 59 of every 100 people over age 25 in Michigan do not have a high school degree. An ex­ perimental program in southeastern Michigan this fall will attempt to "mass-educate" people in a five county area. Educational instruction will be beamed from a UHF station in the morning and early evening. "Stu­ dents" will use workbooks at home in conjunction with lectures. Any time the viewer feels qualified, be may take a General Educational Development examination from his local schooL The GED award is equivalent to a high school diploma. A second program is available for the 750,000 • Michigan adults 25 and older with less than a ninth grade education. This basic program, financed pri­ marily by the Federal government, is offered in 90 school districts of the state. Perticipants spend six to 30 hours per week in class either learning specific skills or working to­ wards "graduation” into the high school completion program. Enrollment procedures are the same as for the nigh school completion program. The Department of Education attributes growing success of the program to active support by the U­ nited Auto Workers union. The union encourages members to enroll in class, and local union halls are often used as classrooms. Last year, 16,000 a­ dults attended class; this year, some 20, 000 are ex­ pected. Classes are held both day and night. Contrary to charges by critics, neither program operates as a " diploma mill, " the department points out. Graduates of the highschool completion pro­ Sam who entered Flint Community College earned gher grades than students coming directly out of high schooL Students enrolled in the basic education program have increased their income, dropped off the wel­ fare rolls, and many have entered the high school program. Last June a Jackson man who began the basic edu­ cation program in 1965 was presented his high school diploma. In four years he had progressed from less than a third grade level to that of a high school graduate. Continuing education programs for adults are of­ fered by 229 districts in Michigan. These programs, which differ from basic education and high school completion, are entirely self-supporting. Students are charged enrollment, and a wide variety of im­ provement courses are available. Perhaps because of additional leisure time, at­ tendance doubled in the last three years. In the 1967­ 68 scbBol year, about 350, 000 Michigan adults par­ ticipated in continuing education programs.

Milliken, charged by Governor Romney with the responsibility of oversee­ ing teacher contract negotiations, has sent a letter to the Charlotte School District in Eaton County where a contract has not been completed, urging negotiators on both sides of the bargaining table to resolve any remaining differences as quickly as possible. In letters to heads of bargaining teams, the Lieu­ tenant Governor emphasized the importance of ear­ ly settlements to "avoid any situation which might jeopardize full educational opportunities for stu­ dents". Milliken also reminded negotiators that the State Labor Mediation Boards stanch ready to offer every possible assistance. The Lieutenant Governor has said that he does not intend, personally, to become directly involved in negotiations, but that he is determined to take every appropriate action to make sure that nego­ tiations proceed as rapidly as possible, and that schools open on schedule. ■ ' 1 ■ ' Mrs. Hermina Southern spent Thursday and Fri­ day with Mrs. Claude Stowe and Mrs. Lulu South­ ern of Ionia.

The Grand Valley Council, Boy Scouts of Ameri­ ca, has launched a Fund Drive for obtaining money to provide new camp facilities for the Boy Scouts. The new camp is needed because the present fa­ cilities are not adequate to accommodate the ever Sowing Boy Scout enrollment. The present camps elude Camp Ottawa at Newaygo and Camp Sha wondasee at Muskegon. The new camping facility would be available to a 7-county area including Kent, Mecosta, Montcalm, Ionia, Barry, Allegan and Ottawa counties. According to Francis Squires, local Scoutmaster, the portion of land being considered is 8 miles north of Barryton on State Road #66 just north of the M e costa, Osceola County line. The funds needed total approximately $503,400 to purchase the land and to construct needed camp facilities and provide the necessary equipment. SEED WHEAT ALFALFA SEEDS We Have Them REMEMBER WE CAN MIX AND INOCULATE YOUR ALFALFA AND CLOVER SEEDS Pledges are being accepted from Scout families. It is hoped that each Scout family would pledge a minimum of $10 a year for the next 3 years. If this were done, the Council could easily meet its finan­ cial need. Pledges and donations are needed from all who would wish to make them, however, not only Scouts and their families. There are approximately 20 Boy Scouts in this immediate area and 50 Cub Scouts. Those who desire additional information may con­ tact Mr. and Mrs. Squires or Mrs. Arlene DeCamp.

My drive took off at an odd angle for me (a hook) and almost hit my wife who was hiding on the hook side. (She knew that was safe because awI never hook). My second shot sliced somei ful and didn't go much further than the drive which just drizzled. When I got close enough for an ap­ proach shot, after some flailing around, the darn thing went straight up in the arr and right down, not ten feet from me. Another attempt put it some­ where near die green and it wasn't until I attempt­ ed to putt that I discovered I was playing with one of those funny balls that is weighted off center to make it fly off in all directions. That can be very frustrating to one who doesn't play a real horsy totsy game of golf anyway. I like to think that is the reason I blew the entire game. For tome of us the Democratic Convention in Chicago was somewhat of a disappointment. They, the Dems, gave us the same thing the GOPs did.

As we watch on TV or attend the city or nation­ al conventions, we sometimes wonder now could so many individuals be able to spent $5,000 to $6,000 for their $500 dinners, $1,000 presidential club dues, continuously give cocktail parties, and keep on sending out hundred* of thousand* of cam­ paign literature on their behalf or someone else'*. The politicians keep on saying, "I have no obli­ gation and political indebtednessto any special in­ dividual or group. " The new* and TV advertising rate is considerably increasing, and campaign bud­ gets are constantly rising. To participate In politic* it seem* to me require* several important elements: a good education, a pleasing personality; plenty of leisure time to at­ tend all the meeting*; an unlimited campaign bud­ get; independently wealthy without being concern­ ed about the financial consequence* if defeated; stand on anything which may create a negative image. It teems to me these qualifications con­ f athen' original purpose for thb nation. The office holders are supposed to be public Matty of our great presidents like Abraham came from very humble background*. A formal education was not to stress­ ed. With'a long beard or without did not change the chance of getting elected or not. We used to respect people with courage and convictions. We' uted to trust people with ethic* instead of money. During the early day* of cMflf ipaigning, we did not have any public opinion poll*i or public relation* fund*. Politicians had direct <contact with the voter*, no middle man was involved. I admit there were many deal* made during the conventions. We also had many corrupted cabinet members during the 19th century. But it seem* to me today only the wealthy person b eligible to be elected either by inheritance or corruption.

Everyone is welcome to come. BY ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION BACK TO SCHOOL Some 2. 5 million school children are scheduled to return to Michigan classrooms this month. Many may not attend opening day. By the last week i n August about 140 school districts had not reached agreement with teachers over new contracts, a ccording to the Michigan Education Association. This does not mean that teachers in those dis­ tricts will strike immediately. Some may; others will choose to begin teaching without contracts. Educational programs will suffer in those d is tricts where voters have defeated operating millage. Local school boards are in the difficult position o f satisfying teacher demands and maintaining aca­ demic standards while voters refuse to authorize ex­ tra revenue. Voters in 197 districts turned down operating mill­ age requests this year, while 339 propositions were approved. When operating millage is defeated, school boards face an immediate problem. They must either call for another millage election or re­ duce expenses. Increased enrollments make cost­ cutting difficult, and reductions result in over­ crowded classrooms, inferior programs, and loss of qualified teachers. The inconvenience to taxpay­ ers in loss of services is often more costly than the millage. A number of educators believe that negative votes on millage propositions do not reflect nega­ tive attitudes towards schools. They suspect that a millage vote is one of the few places remaining where taxpayers can express dissatisfaction with taxes in generaL No matter what the reasons, school children are directly affected by millage defeats. The prob­ lem must be sesolved primarily at the local leveL NEW TRAFFIC LAWS Michigan State Police report that 2,123 people died on Michigan highways in 1967, and 151,297 . were injured. It was the seventh year in which the death toll exceeded the • » 2,000 mark. CoL Frederick E. Davids, director, comments, "This staggering loss of life, human suffering and financial waste is, at once, tragic and unnecessary. While exposure factors of more vehicles, more miles driven and more drivers continue to mount, individual attitudes and responsibilities seem to de­ cay. " Statistics show that the average accident-prone driver in 1967 exhibited the same characteristics as in 1966. He is young, drives too fast for high­ way conditions, carries nine "points" on his driv­ ing record, and was probably drinking. He caused an estimated economic loss of $495 million in 1967 alone, enough to build four Mack­ inaw Bridges. Lawmakers introduced about 300 bills dealing with traffic safety during the last two years. More than 10 percent became law. Jack Green, managing director, of Traffic Safety for Michigan, credits the 74th Michigan Legisla­ ture with v'possibly the most significant record on traffic safety in more than a decade."

Most dramatic of all new legislation is that which: - allows police to impound your car if you’re driving with a suspended license. - makes it mandatory for you to take a "breath olizer" test if police suspect you’re intoxicated, or face license suspension. - limits the courts' and License Appeal Boards' options in hearing appeals under the implied con­ sent law. - requires motorcyclists to carry helmets on their vehicles, and wear protective eye glasses or have windshields when traveling more than 35 mph. - regulates operation of snowmobiles.

The Chamber of Commerce is spon­ soring the celebration, with the cooperation of all organizations and the council. The Centennial Committee, headed by George Vogt, president of the CC, would also like some financial assistance from the council. After con­ sidering the matter at Thursday night's council meeting, the matter was referred back to the Cen­ tennial Committee for a definite amount before the council takes action. The Rev. Earl Frost of the Church of the Nazarene, presented a copy of the plat and a declara­ tion of restrictions for the Fuller Heights subdivis­ ion which has been developed by the church. These will be filed with village records. The contract for picking up garbage within the village limits by the Charlotte Garbage Disposal owned by Edward Baker went into effect August 1. The three-year contract originally was for 360 cus­ tomers. Now the number of customers has jumped to 407, and the council voted to pay for the dif­ ference of 47 customers to the Charlotte company at the rate of $2.10 per pickup on a monthly oasis, which is the established rate in the .original con­ tract. In addition, the Charlotte company picks up trash at no extra cost, which reflects in tne cost of lower maintenance for the local dump. Bicycle riding on Main Street sidewalks contin­ ues to be a serious problem. There is an ordinance against it, but enforcement has been overlooked because it has been felt the children would be in greater danger by forcing them to ride in the street which is M-66 and a busy highway. However, pe­ destrians have been injured occasionally and the council feels some changes must be made. Village president Harold Christiansen appointed a commfttee of Otto Dahm, Rev. James Varner and Ben Ken­ yon to review the matter and it is hoped they can bring a workable solution back to the next council meeting on September 12. Throughout the village there are a number of lots—some with houses with no occupants, and others without buildings--which are covered with tall grass, weeds and trash,' and these are a poten­ tial fire hazard as well as unsightly. The owners are being contacted by letter asking that the con­ ditions be improved. Undoubtedly tne next step for the council will be passing an ordinance demanding that these lots be cleaned up. If the village has to do it, the costs will be charged to the owner. NEW & USED Jo hn Deere Tractors, C ombines and Balers INTEREST FREE New POLARIS and RUPP Snowmobile.

Main, Vermontville IQL3-9191 CL9-7215 DETROIT — Dreams, long the intriguing province of hope­ ful young lovers, soothsayers, wisemen, and Biblical proph­ ets, have come to the examin­ ing room of a psychiatrist at Wayne State University for in­ tensive study. Dr. Elliot Luby, professor of psychiatry, has used the brain­ wave machine and other scien­ tific apparatus in years of re­ search with patients. He has reached these conclusions: 1. Although dreaming has a psychological meaning, it is a biological process found in all mammals. 2. Infants and children spend a much higher percentage of sleep time in dreaming than others. There is spec­ ulation that infants ex­ perience 50% and prema­ ture infants 80% dream time: also that unborn in­ fants at one stage do noth­ ing but dream. This pro­ vides the necessary activ­ ity for the developing ner­ vous system. 3. At young-adult age, human beings spend from 20% to 25% of their sleep time in dreaming. 4. This percentage continues to decrease with age. Elderly people have the lowest percentage, not only because of this per­ centage decrease but be­ cause they sleep less. (At least until far advanced age.) 5. Drugs and food affect dreaming. The old folk myth that cheese sand­ wiches bring bad dreams has some merit in that cheese contains large amounts of tryptophan, which will affect dream content. The before-bed snack and the taking of drugs are by no means the only things that will bring about dreams on a cer­ tain night.

Later in­ stinctual causes originating from within you will create still another dream. “Usually, within the course of a night, five such dream periods will have occurred. The last dream is usually frus­ trating in that it seems ’un­ finished’,” says the doctor. Our physical side needs sleep to create energy for the new day, and the psychological side of us needs sleep “in the sense of withdrawing from the daily struggles and frustra­ tions of the day.” Dr. Luby divides sleep into two kinds: “slow-wave” sleep (from the slow waves shown on the brain-wave machine) and "dreaming” sleep, which is a more active type. The dreaming sleep has been found to be uniquely necessary for our emotional stability. “Dreams provide a big plus for man,” points out Dr. Luby. “Dreaming is the only way man can escape the bonds of time and space. He can dream fantasies without being criti­ cized. “So if you think you’ve had a bad night’s sleep just be­ cause of dreaming, consider that it may have been a good night for the mind, which in turn helps the body.” • 1 j; Advertise in the Maple Valley News FREE!

DEARBORN, Mich. — Four American Presidents used this I960 Lincoln as their principle car or back-up vehicle. Now the specially-equipped machine is retiring tc a permanent home in the Henry Ford Museum at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Mich. It wiD be the newest of more than 300 vintage autos that will be at Greenfield Village on Sept. 7-8 for the Village’s 18th annual Old Car Festival. All of the other cars, however, will be pre-1926 models that will be taking part in parades, judging and automotive games. The relatively new Presidential Lincoln will be there because it officially becomes a part of the Museum’s great collection of historic vehicles during the Festival. One of the other Festival highlights will be an attempt by a Canadian assembly team to beat its own record of less than six minutes to put together and drive a Model “T” beginning with loose individual parts. The public may enjoy the Old Car Festival at no additional charge when visiting Greenfield Village on Sept. 7 or 8.

Ari work on display Residents warned about phony wiring inspector Residents of the Charlotte-Ionia area were warr­ ed by Consumers Power Company officials not to allow a "Wiring Inspector" who identifies himself as a Consumers Power employee to enter their homes.

There were 140 lambs in a shed at the west end of the barn, and at least half of these were lost in the fire. Also destroyed were the recently in­ stalled automatic sheep feeders. The cause of the fire is still under investigation and no estimate of the loss has been determined. The fire was discovered about 9:30 a. m. by Don­ ald Skedgell who owns a well drilling outfit, and his assistant, Raymond Garvey, when they arrived at the Smith home to do some work. Neither M r. Smith who is a mail carrier out of the Nashville postoffice, nor his wife, Betty who works in Battle Creek, were at home. After calling the Nashville Fire Department the two men started removing the equipment out of the burning building and getting the lambs out. They « managed to remove an elevator, scraper, baler and tractor from the building. They also got a number of lambs out, but many of them returned to the shed and were destroyed. When the firemen arrived they turned a hose on a shed and removed a power­ boat, and on the house which was in a direct line of the intense heat due to the direction of the wind. The intense heat did considerable damage to the well drilling truck and equipment. The Hastings Rural Fire Department was also call­ ed to the scene by the Nashville department. Their 1. 600 gallon water tanker made seven trips back for more water. The Nashville tankers, carrying 1, 000 and 1, 200 gallons of water respectively, made num­ erous trips back to Nashville besides several trips to a nearby creek. Late in the afternoon the Conserva­ tion tanker from the Yankee Springs department brought in a 5,000 gallon tanker to help extinguish the flames in the bales of hay. Firemen made many trips for refilling water tank­ ers as they fought to save the buildings at the Smith file Friday. --Photo by Gladys Richardson NUMBER 16 Art instruction, physical education schedules added The first meeting of the Fuller Street PTA took place Thursday evening, September 5th, with new officers in charge, a new elementary supervisor, and many new teachers in new and strange posts. Larry Filter, a member of the Maple Valley Jaycees, has been honored by being named the Jaycee of the Month for the Chapter. Mt. Filter was selec­ ted because of his outstanding work in the manage­ ment of the Junior League and also in the Little M League baseball games. . He is a State Director and Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee in the Maple Valley Jaycees. He is employed at Eaton Manufacturing Company in Battle Creek. He is married to the former Janice Woudstra and they have two children. KJeuM- COMBINED NASHVILLE NEWS AND VERMONTVILLE ECHO Ths attendance for the meeting was unusually good considering that it was held on the second day of the school year. Mr. Wesley DeCuypere, the new president for the PTA, presided at the meet­ ing. After a short greeting and introduction of his officers and board, Mr. DeCuypere turned the meeting over to Mr. Howard Yost, new elementary supervisor. Mr. Yost mentioned briefly some of the problems the school administration had been experiencing in filling all of the necessary positions before the o­ pening of the school year. Many teachers, origi­ nally signed for one grade, found they were being needed in other grades instead. As the following teachers were introduced, they came forward before the group, and were presented with corsages by the PTA officers. Kindergarten, Miss Nancy Whistler, and half-days, Mrs. Sylvia Williams; First grade: Mrs. Sharon Reese, Mrs. Ev­ elyn Lundstrum, Mrs. Viola Johnson. Second grade: Mrs. Margaret Johnson, Mrs. Elsie Mason, Mrs. Mary Gibbs. Third grade: Mrs. Eava Kalnbach,Miss Diane Diamond, Mrs. Erma Flory. Fourth grade: Mrs. Lucy Jacoby, Mrs. Eleanor Boldrey, Mrs.Max­ ine Housler. Fifth grade: Mr. Edwin Korpi, Mr, Ennis Fleming. Fifth and Sixth grade, and varsity basketball coach, Rex Balch. Sixth grade: Mrs. M ildred Hose, Mr. Ernest Jacoby. Mrs. Gladys King, who teaches Remedial Read­ ing, filled in a position as 6th grade teacher for two days. Mrs. Lynn Suida will serve as speech correctionist and art instruction will be under the guidance of Miss Aveys Holmes. This is the first time a full time art instructor has been on the staff at the elementary level. Mrs. Pat Stewart will be in charge of phys. ed. instruction for the elemen­ tary students. The vocal music post is still to be filled. Mrs. Edna Smith serves as Librarian and Mrs. Myrtle Fowler is the secretary at the Fuller Street school. Mr. Gayion Fisher is the custodian at the Kellogg School and playground supervisor is Rachel Beard. Ralph Wells and Russell Smith are custodians at the Fuller Street School; cooks are Margaret Swiger and Barbara Mix, and Melvin Castelein is play­ ground supervisor. In addition to Mr. DeCuypere as president of the PTA, other officers include: Secretary, Mrs. Lois Elliston; treasurer, Mrs. Phyllis Frith; corresponding secretary, Jan“t Gardner; Teacher vice president, Mrs. Eleanor Boldrey; Father vice president, Larry Carpenter; Mother vice president. Mrs. Arlene De­ Camp. Short discussion was held regarding the holding of the meetings every month instead of every other month; the nolding of a bake sale, with fluids ear­ marked to buy TV sets to make educational pro­ grams available to the students; the purchasing of needed gym equipment and other items. A question was raised regarding the Helping Hand program which last year the PTA voted to sponsor. Mrs. Kenneth Schutte is in charge of this project and additional homes are needed to make it a suc­ cessful program. The Helping Hand program involves having homes designated as places children may go whenever they need help or ate frightened. A sign is display­ ed in the window of these homes and the children are properly informed in school to go to one of these homes in the event they neea help. The proj­ ect was adopted in conjunction with discussion and the showing of a film last year about the danger of child molesters. One of the comments made was that perhaps there are older persons who would volunteer their homes for this use if necessary. Those who would like to find out about it may call Mrs. Kenneth Schutte or call the school office and give their name. The trophy was presented to Miss Nancy Whistler for having the most parents present at the meeting. It was voted to continue giving the trophy but to use the $5.00 for gym equipment. Refreshments were served at the close of the meeting. �NATIONAL NEWSPAPER BACKSTREET BAROMETER by john boughton MAPLE VALLEY NEWS The world is turned upside down. Back when I was a kin we played cops and robbers. Everybody wanted to be the cops - they were the §ood guys. The same thing with cowboys and I n Ians. Who wanted to be an Indian? Not only were you on the side of ignorance, violence, drunkedness and rape, but you were espousing a losing cause. The Indians never won. The only time I can ever remember the Indians winning was the Battle of Lit­ tle Big Hom and the implication was - at least in the movies I saw - that they somehow had cheated. They had come into the game with numerical super­ iority, a preponderance of arms, more horses and a whale of a lot more Indians. But as I say, things have*changed. Today the cops are no longer the good guys. I don't think the cops have changed, but I think people's attitudes toward them have changed. Thirty years ago, back in Detroit, there was a bit of stir because an old Negro gentleman bought a used car, which, somehow, through a mixup at the used car dealership, had not been recorded as a sale. Somebody at the dealership reported the car as sto­ len. A Detroit policeman, seeing what was reported as the stolen car going down the street tried to appre­ hend the man driving the car. Because the old ne­ gro driving the car was deaf, he did not realize he was being nailed by the policeman and continued on his way. The policeman shot and killed him. The newspapers at the time made a mild protest that perhaps the policeman should have been just a bit more discriminate in his use of firearms. No­ body, as I remember, raised the issue of police bru­ tality; police stupidity, maybe, but not brutality. Nobody, as I can remember either, suggested that perhaps a white man driving the car would not have been shot, although I’m sure everyone at the time realized that this might very well have been the case. As I remember, the outcome of the controversy was that the policeman had every right to shoot the man. He had good reason to believe the car was stolen; he had good reason to believe that the driver of the car was purposely ignoring his signals to stop; so he shot him. Again, hs I remember it, the po­ liceman was exonerated. Attitudes have changed in the last thirty years.

Just the other day tn Chicago, Mayor Daley’s Silice force was willing to flail away at a bunch of ds, bashing heads, because they - the kids - were objecting to the way things are going today. In both cases, the rationalization for the violence on the part of authority was that the crowds were illegally assembled. The King's law made it clear that r e sistance of any kind wds punishable by prompt, vio­ lent, and often final, action. Mayor Daley made it clear that those who assembled during the Democrat­ ic convention without his blessing were subject to very extreme action. And those who did assemble without his blessing saw what the action was. Probably in both cases, had the assembleges been ignored, nothing would have happened. In the col­ onies, had the King's troops ignored the assembled masses, that the government had tried means other than violence in dealing with the situation, we, no doubt today, would be singing "God Save the King " instead of ’’America the Beautiful. " And from the British point of view, this would not be bad. But it didn't happen that way. Two hundred years ago the authorities, or authority, decided to make an issue. Today authority made an issue at Chicago to change. Perhaps the pouce brutality in Chicago, the same as the military brutality in Concord, two hundred years ago, had precipitated a change for the better. May­ be out of this will come an American attitude of ac­ ceptance of dissent. Had Hitler had a few wild-eyed long-hair, dirty, if you please, dissenters instead of his "Sig-Heiling" conservative, storm troopers, the world today might be different. Rather than knocking the heads of the kids who ob­ ject, perhaps we would be wise to look into their objections. They may have good reason for protest­ ing.

If it is not obeyed, regardless of bow petty the law was, death was the reward. Today a man caught stealing a loaf of bread would certainly not be shot. Probab­ ly even the most conservative among us would say this is not the way to handle the situation. Yet there are many of us today who would advocate shooting a man for taking a television set. The point is that our attitudes have not changed much; we have only moved the line at which we are willing to shoot a man. At Lakewood MIDDLEVILLE WAYLAND At Portland HAMILTON (H. C.)

Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency Ha t e is one way to riches and fame Stokley Carmichael, from a very humble back­ ground and who preaches hate and class struggle, is now purchasing a high-priced mansion in the East and married a society singer. Mao Tse Tung preached bate which helped him reach wealth and fame in order for him to live a long life and accumulate six official wives and hun­ dreds of concubines. I understand the political campaign fund for for­ mer governor George Wallace has increased tre­ mendously in many states, and the publishers for ex­ treme right and extreme left groups are making siz­ able profits this year. Let us common people use our limited intelli­ gence and some educational experience to look into a deeper layer. I am sure we will discover these people, these extremists, usually are cowards in the battlefield. They will make someone else to be a martyr for sacrificing their life. For they themselves like to manipulate human relations, create hatred among people, making political or economic profit from the mass people by using the emotional a p proach to gain sympathy which leads to wrong con­ clusions. In layman's language, they tend to treat us as suckers; in political language, we are referred to as the mass people. They pick our pockets when we are not careful; they rob our vote by our ignorance. This type of people have operated successfully dur­ ing the last five or six thousand years of human his­ tory. This year's political campaign will be much more sophisticated than previous years. The professional human relations manipulators have created tremen­ dous false images for different political candidates. They utilize the humans' fear and greed to help their masters get into office. They can make an honest statesman appear as a crook; they can make a war monger appear as a political dove. Some po­ litical campaign specialists openly stated, "Any in­ dividual with an average IQ plus $60, 000 cash can be assured of a good chance to be a United States Congressman." This is most discouraging and a dis­ illusioned political phenomenon. We, as individual voters, shall reclaim our vot­ ing rights not to be sucked in as political naive vo­ ters. We deserve a fairer and a more justified treat­ ment as voters from all the political candidates.

A total of 105 children completed all 4 applica­ tions. . Fluoride should not be considered as a substitute for regular care of the teeth either at home or by the dentist. Although fluoride applications can help Bsnt cavities, it is still necessary for children to their teeth thoroughly, particularly after meals, avoid between-meal sweet snacks, and vis­ it their dentist regularly for professional care. The poem Miss Becker, dental hygienist wrote on the Blackboard was: Brush your teeth the wav they grow Down from the top and up from below.

MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19. 1968 One killed, one injured in accident Monday Barry County's 15th fatality of the year occurred at 1:40 am Monday, September 16th when Robert A. Dvoracek, 23, of 212 1/2 South Main Street, Nashville, was killed in a one-car accident just north of the Barry-Calhoun County line on M-66. State police from the Battle Creek post said a car driven by Robert C. Schwab, 21, of Route 2, Vermontville apparently failed to negotiate a curve. The car broke through the bridge guard rail and Landed in Wanondoger Creek. Schwab is in fair condition in Leila Hospital, Battle Creek. An autopsy will be performed on Dvoracek by a Barry County pathologist, state police said. Canadian man arrested by Nashville officer Patrick G. Byrnes, 51, of Hamilton, Ontario,Can­ ada, was arrested Wednesday afternoon of last week by Nashville Marshal William Cassidy and charged with driving under the influence of liquor. He was taken to the Barry County Sheriff's office, where he was given the breath test. He pled not guilty to the charge and was placed under $1,000 bond and ta­ ken to the Eaton County jail where he awaits trial. Cassidy first noticed the car at the intersection of M-66 and Maple Street in Nashville. A short time later the same car was coming out of Reed Stre~c onto North M-66 and the car was swaying from one side of the street to rhe other. Cassidy followed the car north to Thomapple Lake Road and they asked Barry County for assistance. There was no car immediately available, and Cassidy was asked to follow in pursuit. He overtook the Byrnes car at the intersection of M-43 and M-66, and at­ tempted to stop the driver by turning on the siren. According to Cassidy the driver apparently did not hear the siren, for he continued on his way. Cass­ idy finally stopped him at M-66 and M-50 intersec­ tion where Cassidy was advised by Barry County to hold until Barry County officers arrivecC According to the police report Byrnes had at­ tended a wedding Saturday, and thought Wednes­ day was Sunday. He said he came from Ann Arbor, and was going to Kalamazoo, although he was driv­ ing north. He said the car belonged to a friend, but didn’t know the name. All in all, it looked like a new version of a "Lost Weekend. " NUMBER 17 Maple Valley football team wins first encounter, 13-0 Maple Valley's Lions got off to a good start Fri­ day night in their encounter with the Lakewood High School football team. They came home with a 13-0 victory. The first Maple Valley touchdown was made by Walt Shaw. The team made the most of two scor­ ing drives engineered by the passing ability of Steve Stine. The senior quarterback got the Lions on the scoreboard in the first quarter with an 11yard touchdown aerial to end Shaw. The Lakewood Vikings held Maple Valley score­ less for the next two quarters. The Lions' defense was up to the task and did not allow their opponents to cross the mid-field stripe. A fine team effort on defense paid off for Maple Valley. The final touchdown came in the fourth quarter as Stine cranked up the Lion offense. Orvin Moore smashed over from the one-yard line to make the touchdown. Two f: : passes from Stine to end Walt Shaw highlighted this last march. The defense then took over and contained Lakewood's last scoring bid. John Bursley did exceptional defensive work, as he took part in 12 tackles. Coach Bill Gibbs states that his team will meet Middleville this Friday on their home field. The Jaycees have bought a tackling sled for team workout. United Fund Drive goal set at $1500 The September meeting of the NAUF was held at the Phillips Street United Methodist Church. Elaine Higdon, Isabel Welch, Yvonne Appelman and Carroll Wolff were re-elected to the Board of Directors for a term of three years. The following officers were elected for the 1968­ 69 year; President, Freida Laurent; vice president. Carroll Wolff; treasurer, Yvonne Appelman; secre­ tary, Carrie K Caley. The date for the United Fund Drive is from Octo­ ber 1 through October 12. The goal set is $1500.00.

The present enrollment in the Maple Valley Schools is 1, 842 students compared with a total en­ rollment last year of 1, 783 students. There are presently 396 students enrolled at Fuller Street El­ ementary, 178 at Kellogg Elementary, 471 at Ma­ plewood Elementary, ana 797 students at the Jr-Sr. high school. The largest class in the school district is the kindergarten with an enrollment of 175 stu­ dents, and the smallest class is the senior class with an enrollment of 90 students. �Letter to Editor BACKSTREET BAROMETER The other day some colleagues and I were having coffee when a young man came through the cafe­ teria line. I had often seen this fellow before. Prob­ ably in his thirties, he was nice looking and I would assume he was a minor executive or perhaps a clerk in one of the state offices. Ordinarily one couldn’t have told him from the hundreds of other clerks or minor executives in state offices, just by looking at him though his hair does tend to be slightly longer than the average.but only slightly. This day, however, he did look a little different. Instead of the uniform, white shirt, four-in-hand tie, suit or sport coat, this man was wearing a white turtle-neck shirt. He had a peace symbol hanging on a chain around his neck and as he walked through the cafeteria line for his coffee, one of the fellows having coffee with me remarked, " It’s a good thing that man doesn't work in my office, because if he did. I’d fire him." * I questioned this friend of mine just a bit on what grounds he could fire the man. It turned out that ute grounds were because the fellow was a hippie. We talked of other things for awhile and then all of a sudden through the cafeteria line came another man, in a turtle-neck shirt, but this one had a beard. "Ok, friend, " I said, "what about this fellow?" "This one I’d fire also," he said. "Why?" "Because not only did he have the turtle-neck sweater, but he haa a beard. This was absolute proof that he was a hippie. " Now I asked my friend, "What if he’s growing a beard because his town is having a centennial. "That’s entirely different, " friend said, "I wouldn't fire him for that because everybody in town would be doing the same thing. " I didn’t pursue it any further because I had by now concluded that fnend wasn't too logical, and talking logically to him would mak“ no difference. He had condemned two men and would have been willing, apparently, to fire two men because he thought they were hippies. This apparently is a crime of some sort. But he didn't bother to talk to the men. He concluded their philosophy did not co­ incide with his because they did not dress the way he did or the way the majority of people were dress­ ing. He was, in effect, willing to deprive either or both of the men of their means of livelihood be­ cause they refused to conform. When presented with a hypothetical situation of everyone in town growing a beard, then growing a beard was all right because this was conforming. My friend’s attitude is somewhat understandable. He represents the establishment and anyone who does not conform tends to shake the foundations of the establishment. The important thing, what the hippie really thinks, what he really feels, is not a part of the question. The stand is taken on what he looks like. Now practically all thinking people can look at this stand and say it is ridiculous. This is not Dem­ ocratic. This is not American. Our country was built on the freedom and the rights of the individ­ ual. We are so fiercely jealous of these freedoms and rights that our courts bend over backwards to see that the rights of a man, even a man accused of murdering a president, or a senator, are pro­ tected, and his rights become equally important to the rights of the great mass of people. We say we like individuality, we pretend that we stand for in­ dividuality and freedom, but I wonder if the major­ ity of us do, if that freedom and individuality does not conform with our ideas of what a person should think, what a person should do, of how a person should even dress. On the one hand, we venerate hippies and non­ conformists, Communists, if you will, who 2000­ years ago refused to accept the authority of a state, refused to admit that that state was the highest pow­ er in the universe. And on the other hand, we are by john boughton willing to refuse to allow a kid to come to school because he grows his hair a little longer than the establishment thinks is proper. We cnoke up with emotion on the 4th of July, listening to speeches about our forefathers who were willing to stand up to a King, who were willing to lay their lives on a line, to start an entire new country because they believed in democracy and freedom, because they believed that anyone, anywhere should have the righ*’ to stand up and protest and object to any gov­ ernment or any authority , and on the other hand, we approve policemen in Chicago bashing in the heads of a bunch of kids because they have the au­ dacity to stand up and protest, because they have the moral fortitude, the guts, to object to the es­ tablishment. I say bless the protesters, bearded . hippies, those who carry signs, who insist on rights for teachers and for workers, who dress in kooky clothes, who let their hair grow. I say, bless them. They may not inherit the world, but they may darn well keep the silly establishment from blowing the entire thing sky high. I cannot see why the Village Council erecu<igns on Main Street and not inforce the laws. Double parking on the street is getting to be terrible. Some of them leave their cars running while they enter the store*. ' ~~ ■" I think there should be a stop to turning around ' on Main Street and also backing up to the curb to load and unload. I believe the stores have doors in the back for that purpose. I asked one of the council members what those rectangles were for... he said so persons would not park in that space and on the sidewalk. There has been plenty of that kind lately. Will Martin My family was in attendance at the first Varsity football game of the Maple Valley season. We were more than pleased with some things that hap­ pened. The conduct of coaches, football players, and specutors was excellent. One thing that really should be commented on is the time of prayer be­ fore the game. We. as parents, are thankful that we have coach­ es and players who will uke the time and recog­ nize our one God and Maker and thank Him for jheir well-being. Thanks to those responsible. Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Pennock ”AS I SEE IT” writted by Paul P. Chien weekly syndicated column distributed by Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency JFhat is the Establishmen t? In recent years, we have heard of the political unrest, the social unrest, the industrial unrest and sometimes even the family unrest are based upon a conflict of interest. In many cases, people nave called against the establishment. Whether this anti­ establishment movement is good or bad remains to be seen. We have learned from history that the American Revolution was a movement against the establish­ ment of the colonial government. We have also learned that the Civil War was a freedom move­ ment. If we really try to evaluate the anti-esub lishment movement, we can even classify our in­ dustrial revolutions and the transformation from ' horse and buggy days to modem automobiles and the missile age as a progress of change of the stat­ us quo movement. The anti-esublishment people are always trying to destroy the sutus quo condition. Usually, the es­ tablishment has become cumbersome, bureaucratic, regressive, and internally decayed. Then the social, military and industrial revolutions set in. The basic factor of the United Sutes which is dif­ ferent than any other nation is that we have the freedom to anti the esublishment without being penalized. We have elections. We have elections on all levels of the government, which even i n eludes the social service clubs and country club of­ fices. It is hard for me to undersund that in such a fine and well-designed system, we have to resort to vio­ lence in order to have a change. It also seems to me that in a free, competitive, economic society we do not have to fear about reprisal* coming from the giant industries for unreasonable competition because regardless of political bosses, one cannot afford to be regressive and corrupt because he has to face election time. The big business will never be able to hope to mainuin the sutus quo to enjoy the monopolitic privilege because their small com­ petitors will overtake them if they do not remain progressive and competitive. The young leaders nave to be dynamic and educated in order to main­ uin their leadership. This principle applies to the educational institutions to be dedicated and be able to meet the social needs. In conclusion, the esublishment in the Ameri­ can society has to be consUntly progressing to mainuin a sutus quo because our democratic and free competitive social economic structure will never permit any individual or organization to en­ joy the sutus quo condition forever.

This motion passed with four votes in favor and two abstentions. The council voted another $250 to the Maple Grove-Castleton township fire department for cur­ rent expenses. A discussion of new fire hose was made but no action taken. Signs are to go back up regarding no bicycle rid­ ing on the sidewalks on Main Street. There is an ordinance stating there shall be no riding of b i cycles on any village streets. But since Main street is a state highway (M-66) this law has not been en­ forced, feeling tnat rhe children were safer there than in the street. It was also suggested that chil­ dren walk their bikes in the two-block area from Washington to Sherman street, thus slowing down the youngsters in the busy area. A petition, signed by over 300 persons, was pre­ sented to the council by Maynard Perry, concern­ ing stray dogs. The petition read: "We, the under­ signed, support the past method of shooting and dis­ posing of stray and dangerous dogs by our police de­ partment. We further support our village govern­ ment in making and enforcing new and stronger dog laws to solve our rather bad nog situation. " No ac­ tion was taken, but will be given further study by the village officials. Meanwhile it is understood the Barry County supervisors are drafting new plans for issuing warrants u. persons who allow their dogs to run at large, and Nashville officials would like to coordinate any new restrictions with those being discussed by the county. In routine business tne bills were allowed, and $6,200 was voted to be transferred from the inci­ dental to the street department. Mrs. Ada Skedgell asked permission to have her sister, Mrs. Phyllis Skedgell, take over her duties at the village hall for one week, starting Monday. Permission was granted.

This is an annual event, honoring the past presidents, each of whom was presented with a lovely corsage, made by Mrs. Florence Benson. Following the dinner Mr. Christopher King, local architect, gave a very interesting and thought pro­ voking talk, "Look Backward to Go Forwari " He gave many ideas on what the club members can do to improve our village. As a civic organization he feels club members should do their very best to cre­ ate interest among the village residents. It was most encouraging to see how many new members wish to join the club, many of them young ladies. This is indeed an asset to any club group and the club is indeed looking forward to a most successful club year.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, September 19, 1968 �Church marks 130th anniversary September 21 and 22 the Flat Congregational Church of Vermontville will celebrate the 130th anniversary of its founding. Plans have been com­ pleted for this two-day celebration, of which one of the highlights will be a banquet in the Griswold Room Saturday, September 21, at 7 p. m. Toast­ master for this event will be Stanley Trumble who is a member of the board of trustees of the church. The speaker for the evening will be Dr. George V. Bohman, chairman of the Sneech Department of Wayne University who, in addition to being a gifted speaker, is an authority on the historic churches of Michigan. Several former ministers of the church . have been invited, as well as many former members who have moved to other communities. Due to a limitation of space, reservations will be necessary for the banquet, and reservations may be made by calling the church. Sunday, September 22, a special anniversary ser­ vice will be held in the church. Guest minister for this service will be Dr. Vaughn Abercrombie, Exe­ cutive Secretary of the National Association of Con­ gregational Churches, with headquarters in Mil­ waukee. Following there will be a coffee hour in the Griswold Room. In 1836 a hardy group of men and women from East Poultney, Vermont, and nearby villages, made the long trek West and settled in that section of Maple Valley which they named Vermontville. With few exceptions this group had been members . of the Congregational church in their native state. In the first years, following their religious tradition, they met for worship informally in various homes as they were built. In 1838 a Congregational church was formally organized, and the record of that or­ ganization is recorded in the county records of Ea­ ton County. In 1839 a log cabin was built as a church, but by 1843 this was supplanted with a frame building t\4o stories high which served as the first school and became the chapel for church ser­ vices on Sunday. Many well known figures inMich­ igan history received their first education in this school, and their first religious training in this church. The building still stands and is in remark­ ably good shape, being used presently as a museum So good to be with Good things go together^^b^- WBCH I radio 1220 »5 7 161 1220 Barry County's good music station.... . . Photo by Gladys Richardson ON YOUR DIAL WBCH Hastings - Barry County sponsored by the Vermontville Historical Society. In 1862 the present church building was erected, and has served the community since that time. Thia building with its steeple towering 110 feet above the ground, has been a landmark for many years. Not only is it a landmark, but is one of the classic examples of the architecture of that period and has been widely photographed. So authentic is this mod­ el of architecture that recently it was made the subject of an architectural study by the National Historical Society, and pictures, scale drawings etc. , may bejound in Jfte Library of Congress in Washington, D.C. It is believed, although this cannot be definitely documented, that this is the oldest Congregational church worshipping in the original building, in the State of Michigan. For 130 years this church in good times and bad, has sought to minister to the needs of the people. For 106 years its lofty steeple has looked down on this quiet village, proclaiming jb belief that there is strength and nope, and grace for all. The present minister of the church is the Rev. Leonard H. Maunder, who with the present congre­ gation .is proud of this heritage, and invite auto share this significant anniversary with them.

There will be a Field Representative there, with a film to show how and where this money is used. The goal is $1, 500 again this year. Volunteers are still needed to solicit in some a­ reas. • Deadline near for applying for grants October 14 is a deadline for high school seniors to remember. . , More than $10,000, 000 is at stake. As much a s $1, 600 per student. High school seniors who wish to apply for State of Michigan tuition grants or competitive scholar­ ships must take action by October 14. "The simplest thing foe them to do, " explains John C. Hoekje, president of the Association of In­ pendent Colleges and Universities of Michigan, "is to see the counselors at their own schools for forms and advice. "These state funds are available, " he said, "for students who wish to attend universities or colleges in Michigan next Fall. The amount varies, but as much as $1, 600 may be available to each student for the academic year. "A maximum of $800 per year in tuition grants for use in private colleges, and another scholarship maximum of $800 per year for private or public col­ leges, are separate and distinct. A student who fails to qualify for the competitive scholarship may still be eligible for the tuition grant if he meets the ad­ mission standards of a private college in Michigan." Hoekje pointed out that a high school student doesn't have to make up his mind which college he wishes to attend, or even if be will definitely at­ tend college, before the October 14 filing deadline. These details can be settled at a later date, he ex­ plained. The following volunteers have been given terri­ tories: N.

NUMBER 18 Meet ing Thursday to discuss sewer solution A special meeting will be held Thursday evening in Vermontville when village officials, their attor­ neys and engineers hope they can come up with a means of programming a workable solution to fi­ nance their sanitary and storm sewer system. Any­ one interested is welcome to attend. The State Water Resources Commission stepped in last July to order the village to complete their sewage facilities by April 1, 1970. The local of­ ficers first met with this commission back in Feb­ ruary of 1966. At that time the commission records showed waste from a 30-inch sewer was being dis­ charged into an open ditch which drains into Thorn­ apple River. Since that time considerable work has been done to correct the situation, but the main problem is a lack of finances to handle the construc­ tion. * An engineering firm was asked to make a survey of the village and draw up plans suitable for a sew­ er system. Due to the kind of soil in the village it was recommended a lagoon system be used. This required some 40 acres of land with ponds taking up about 12 acres. A suitable plot of land was located on Anderson Road, east of South Main which the village purchased, along with a right-of-way across another piece of property. In order to help finance the project the village, in 1967, voted to increase the tax millage from 12. 5 to 15 mills. The village also appealed to the Farm Home Administration tot financial assistance, but the only word from this source, so far, has been "insufficient federal funds," The estimated cost, calculated back in 1967,was $469, 000. 00 and with a general rite in costs since that time, it could easily go higher now. It is hoped some workable answer to Vermont­ ville's problem will develop at Thursday night's meeting. F uture F armers to hold Gun Safety Clinics The Maple Valley Future Farmer* of America will be conducting a gun safety clinic at the Maple Valley High School. The first meeting will be September 26 in the high school auditorium. The other two meetings will be held October 3rd and October 10. All meet­ ings will be from 7:00 to 9:00 p. m. The FFA encourages parents and friends interest­ ed in guj*, gun safety and hunting to attend these sessions. Air people successfully pasting the course will be issued an N. R, A. safety certificate. A very fine program hat been set up. Included in the pro gram will be conservation officer* from Eaton and Barry Counties, local law enforcement officers, a state police trooper plus others.

Entered at the Post Office at Nashville, Michigan Barry County, as Second Class Matter The death and truth Recently, I visited a close friend of mine who was near death with cancer, and he was only in his ear­ ly forties. I think it will help many of us if I sum­ marize his deep thinking in his philosophical a p proach on his death. Death is the only^nd final equalizer in the h u man race. There is no racial preference. No finan­ cial power or political influence can change our des­ tiny. To some good people, death is to return to home; to some others, it is to face the final Judg­ ment Day. Death can be a most beautiful thing be­ cause in all the years during a life of walking on thin ice afraid to violate the Golden Rule, Death is finally near. It seems like a long journey. It reach­ es the end without betraying its souL An individual who is close to death will certainly become more mature so rapidly, in many cases e­ ven less self-centered because he knows ne cannot bring anything with him to show his Maker. Death also is a period of adjustment. If he believes in life after death, it is a time to close the old business to start a new one again. To face death in some cases makes one feel so insignificant because one may have not left enough good marks on this earth or one did not do enough for one's friends or family who may still need help. Death is the stage for rejoicing ana gratification. Nothing is important anymore; materially, politically, socially. A' big funeral and an expensive coffin do not affect a dead person's souL Death helps the individual to forgive his world­ ly enemies because all those little incidents that used to count so much are no longer important. Re­ gardless in war or peace, an individual's death will achieve tranquility, sanity, and eternal peace. About ten years ago when a circus came through Saugatuck, one of the elephants became sick. He became so sick that despite the efforts of the cir­ cus people and a couple of local veterinarians they just couldn't get the poor old fellow on his feet and he died. Now an elephant is not the easiest thing in the world to dispose of, so there was a bit of discussion as to just how and where the giant could be buried. They got permission of a farmer whose field the elephant died on to bury him where be died. A bulldozer was called in and the ceremony was com pleted. Sometime in the distant future an archeologist may dig up the bones of an elephant and come to the wrong conclusion that elephants were native to this part of Michigan. There is a lot of other junk that we throw away that may confuse future generations who dig it up. They may conclude that we paved our beaches with beer cans and they may even think that we emptied sewers into our streams for a purpose--perhaps to SUBSCRIPTION RATES Barry & Eaton Counties $3.00 per year Elsewhere in United States $3. 50 per year A utumn Colo r Tou r Guide now available The first big weekend of Michigan's annual aut­ umn color show is expected in the upper peninsula before the end of September, according to the Michigan Tourist Council.

Get-acquainted tea Friday by john boughton poison the folks who lived downstream, or maybe because we really intended to commit mass suicide. The JC's had a ball with their canoe race down the river last Saturday. This might well become an annual thing which will make our community known throughout the state. The Maple Valley Lions did themselves up well in their first two games of the season. Even though they lost to Middleville they are to be commended for the game they played. The new bleachers at the football field make a big difference. Now we can really have a good home crowd. Our lights are poor though. It is very difficult to get a picture under our lights. By the light meter on my camera, they have almost twice as much light up at the Lakewood field as we do. Christian women from all the churches in the area have been especially invited to a get-acquainted tea held by Church women Unitea on Friday, Sep­ tember 27, at 1:00 p. m. at the First Unitea Meth­ odist Church in Hastings. There are many areas to be discussed in which work can be accomplished even if complete affiliation is not desired, as Church Women United sponsor many services and programs across the nation and the world. The occasion is also planned as an opportunity to introduce pastors' wives and heads of various wom­ en's organizations. Mrs. William Hawkins will be on the program. She serves as Chairman of Area Five of the State Church Women United Board. Any woman in Nashville needing transportation to attend, may call Mrs. J. E. Smith or Mrs. B. J. Varner.

OCTOBER 3, 1968 One day teachers’ meeting scheduled in Lansing As primary and secondary students from Ingham, Eaton, Livingston, Clinton and Shiawassee counties settle down tot the long year ahead, the teachers of the five county area are preparing for an intensive instruction session of their own. The event is the annual Region Eight teacher's conference of the Michigan Education Association. This year, the usual two day program has been com­ pressed into a single day, Friday, October 4th. General Chairman of the Conference is Leon Housler, Maple Valley High School, Vermontville. The Executive Secretary of the meeting is Lois Red­ mond of the East Lansing Public Schools, while Rob­ ert Burnett of the Michigan School for the Blind, Lansing, is in charge oi the Special Sections pro­ gram. > The annual banquet will feature Bud Guest, famed WJR radio humorist and sidewalk philosopher. The banquet will be held at the Everett High School cafeteria in Lansing. The abbreviated Lansing meeting of the MEA Re­ gion Eight members will be marked by an even greater effort to condense the latest information a­ bout new teaching techniques. Special emphasis will be given to tne age old problems of "reading, 'riting and 'riinmetic’v as well as the newer and more sophisticated teaching methods in the scien­ ces, the development of inter-group understanding, and an analysis of how the Soviet Union handles the problem of exceptional children. On the subject of school organization, there'll be a special section devoted to the middle school, a new concept in dividing the educational process. Another section will take up the non-graded ele­ mentary school concept. The Region Eight conference will also discuss sub­ jects of a controversial nature, such as the teaching of sex education in the elementary classroom. Re­ sources people for this topic include: Erma Hill of the Ingham County Health Department; Rev. Hugh Banniga of the Episcopal Church of St, Johns; Chand­ ler Nauts, principal of Holt High School; and Bar­ bara Miller of the Okemos School system. The customary conservation and biology workshop will be held at Higgins Lake, Chairman for this special section is John Hunt of the Everett Elemen­ tary School, Lansing. Jaycee o f Month Even the weather'will be included in the inten­ sive one day MEA conference. A special weather program will be held at East Lansing's McDonald Middle School, featuring Robert Babb, meteorolo­ gist for the US Weather Bureau at Capitol City Air­ port. Sectional meetings will generally begin at 9:30 in the morning, while the afternoon sessions will start at 1:30 in the afternoon. Full-time broa dcast service offered now WBCH-FM operating at 100.1 megacycles has inaugurated program service following receipt of authorization from the Federal Communications Commission. WBCH-FM is now broadcasting from 6: 00 am to 11:00 pm daily and on Sundays from 7: 45 am to 10:00 pm. Kenneth Radant, president and manager said that WBCH-AM, which has operated at Hastings for the past 10 years, has always been restricted to "sun­ rise to sunset" hours so the addition of FM brings the first full-time broadcast service to Barry Coun­ ty.

WILLIAM BITGOOD Phone 3-6092 NASHVILLE Marsha A ekeit and Jeri Hammond took charge of American Government classes Thursday, September 26. They gave an excellent report on their week at Camp Kett where they had lectures on government and practiced Americanism. They said the basic characteristics that make up our country are: pride, patriotism, optimism, ma­ terialism, prejudice,. determination, individualism, political freedom, spirit of adventure, religion, ed­ ucation, inventiveness, critical, restlessness, humanitarism, and fun loving. Other comments were: If you believe you are real1 y white, hold a white paper against your skin. Black, brown, yellow or red are just varying shades of brown. The Pyramid of Freedom consists of belief in God (the solid base), the U. S. Constitution, Civil Rights, political and economic rights, and at the top, "Our Freedom.

Over 50 dairymen are expected to attend the tour which will visit three dairy farms in the Charlotte area starting at 11 a. m. at the Forrest Rogers from three miles west of Charlotte and 1 1/2 miles north of M-79 on Chester Highway. The Rogers own a relatively small farm of 105 acres with a 30-35 cow dairy herd. Recent building changes including a free-stall bam, milking parlor and enlarged milk house made it possible to nearly double the size of their herd a few years ago. Despite the trend to much larger herds this is typical of many one-man herds that certainly can be successful when efficient­ ly managed. At twelve noon the tour will move to the Mason­ ic Temple in Charlotte for a complimentary lunch­ eon provided by the Smith Silo Company of Oxford and their local representative, John Moore of Nash­ ville. Following lunch at 1:30 p. m. the tour will move to the Ralph Letton farm 3 miles north of Charlotte and 1/2 mile west on Vermontville Highway. The Lettons operate a large herd of over 100 cows with the help of two hired men who share in a unique ar­ rangement in the dairy herd ownership. Two new silos for com silage and ground corn will add to the feed storage facilities on the Letson farm this year. Several yean ago free stalls and a liquid manure system were added to increase the efficiency of this operation. The final farm visit of the day will be at 2:30 gm at the Loren Wilmore farm 1/4 mile west of M­ 0 on Grethem Highway. This summer the Wilmore* have been milking about 60 Holstein* but are plan­ ning to cut back to 46 head to better fit their stan­ chion barn. This is one of Eaton County's top hol­ stein herds with outstanding individuals in both pro­ duction and type. This is a family operation.

During the evening the council discussed the many possible ways the situation might be met. Mn Watson said it would be helpful to know what the people of the village think about the situation. He said he would like to see some letten to the ed­ itor expressing viewpoints. This will be further discussed at the regular coun­ cil meeting on this Thursday.

Lawrence B. Lindemer, a candidate for Regents of the U of M, will be the principal speaker for the dinner. It is expected that Garry Brown will also be attending. Stanley Powell and James Farnsworth have indicated they plan to attend, as well as many Barry County Republican candidates. Tickets are needed for the dinner and may be ob­ tained locally from Stewart Graham. Boys will compete for 18 football trophies Boys in the Maple Valley area will have a chance on October 12 to compete for trophies in the Punt, Pass & Kick Competition, sponsored by Tom Ruth­ erford, Inc., of Charlotte. The local competition is under the direction of the Maple Valley Jaycees, with the Ford agency as the sponsor.

The Punt, Pass & Kick Competi­ tion is open to all boys in the Maple Valley area 8 yean of age through 13 years. A Clinic was held Saturday morning, October 5th at the Fuller Street School.

All interested boys are encouraged to attend. Village prepares to issue revenue bonds Thursday evening, at the regular meeting of the Vermontville village council, the officials ordered their attorney. Georoe Watson of Charlotte, to pre­ pare revenue bonds for sale for the new sewage dis­ posal plant. They also voted to ask their engineer­ ing company, Williams & Works of Grand Rapids, to take final steps to update plans for the plant. "We have now gone about as far as we can, "said village president, Vernon Trowbridge. "The next thing is the money. If the bonds sell, and we have some hope they will, then we are ready to go a­ head." *~ The exact amount of the bonds depends on final completion of the engineer's plans, but they will be in the neighborhood of $465, 000. Several interested citizens attended the meeting, and several asked questions concerning the new plant which were answered by the governing body. The engineers thought it would take about three months to complete the plans and bring them up to date, and the attorney assumed it would take him nearly that long to prepare the bonds. Thus, if things go according to plan, Vermontville village will oe in' position to let contracts for starting con­ struction in the spring. A representative from the Vermontville Lions Club, Albert Hackett, asked permission to use the water tower lot, which is village-owned, to pre­ pare a park or public playground. Permission was granted, with the stipulation that whatever is done will be okayed by the council. Vermontville township supervisor Gerald Siple was present to discuss plans for a township-village dump site. Mote consideration will be given in fu­ ture meetings. Other business conducted by the council was rou­ tine. Dr. Paul Chien, shown here with Mrs. Greta Finter, took part in the Friday meet­ ing of the Region Eight Conference of the Michigan Education Association in East Lan­ sing, Dr. Chien, now associated with Northwood Institute, Midland, took part in the discussion relative to Asia. He was bom and educated in China and served as a Colonel in Chaing's Army prior to the Communist take-over of China, Mrs. R. E. White, of Nashville, also attended the conference in the afternoon and talked and showed slides of her trips to Europe, —Photo by Chris Boughton The following article gives a first-hand account of the one-day Region Eight teachers' Conference of the Michigan Education Association. The meeting was held tn East Lansing on Friday, October 4. The following persons contributed to the conferences: Leon Housler, president, Region 8; Hilda Baas, Mich­ igan History; Leslie Boldrey, Color tour of Europe; and Greta Finter, S. E. Asia and Africa. No school was held at Maple Valley last Friday because the teachers were excused in order to a t tend the Fall Conference, commonly known as Teachers' Institute in Lansing. This year for the first time it was only a one-day meeting. The day started at 9:30 with various meet­ ings held in selected schools in the Laming area where teachers were given a chance to see and learn about new ideas in education. Meetings were design­ ed for various interest groups, such as, social stud­ ies, math, English, science, etc. at all grade levels. Many special interest groups had luncheon meetings. Special sessions continued after noon. The Publisher and Education Supply companies had an all-day exhibit in the Civic Center. This too, was well attended. There were several field trips. One outstanding trip was io Waldemar. Another trip went to the MSU plantarium. There were excellent reports from both field trimg Chris Bougnton and his camera joined us for Dr. Paul Chien's lecture and for a noon luncheon. Mr. John Boughton was also present at the luncheon, so our local paper was well represented, Dr. Paid Chien, Northwood Institute, spoke to an audience of 200 at East Lansing High SchooL Friday morning. He emphasized the fact that four presi­ dents have kept us involved in South Vietnam. We are there because we keep our commitments to SEATO. As a democracy, we are committed to check Communist aggression and advancement if at all possible. Dr. Chien gave us a background of the Boxer Re­ bellion. The British were getting rich off the opium trade, much of which came in from the British col­ ony of India. The intellectuals of China saw their people being weakened and depraved by dope. They led a revolt to drive out white man. The South East Asian has not trusted white people from then to now. Mao is almost a total cripple today due to strokes. The war lords seem to be in the driver's seat. Is their intention to weaken S. E. Asia, get the US out and then take over? Another sore spot in S. E. Asia is out interference in the Russo-Sino war. The yellow races figure we have not let them solve their own problems in the past. - ' We can not just withdraw from S. E. Asia. Mr. Onnoigiyo of Nigeria discussed Changing Af­ rica. There are 23 new countries in Africa since World War IL Colonialism is vanishing. He said we use the word tribal to mean warlike, uneducated, uncivilized. We must realize "tribal" in Africa is the same as "nationality" to us. The African has proven his intelligence when given the chance. He has proven he can be a leader. Sometimes he has been over anxious perhaps. But he is learning. The African wants to be identified. He wants dignity. He wants his culture understood. Then he can five in peace with his fellowman. Mrs. Roma White was the guest speaker at. a Col­ or Tour of Europe. Mrs. White had a wonderful ex­ hibit of things from Europe. She illustrated her lec­ ture with colored slides. So many left this meeting determined to see Europe in the near future. On the wall in this lecture room were beautiful posters and pictures of outstanding places one would like to add to their tour. In the Michigan History section, Mrs. Jager from the Michigan unit of the State Library told us about some materials available on Michigan history and where we could get them. Monsignor Hickey of the Redford Parish, Detroit, who was chosen historyographer of Detroit last year, very interestingly told us about Father Gabriel Richard.Monsignor Hickey has spent many yean in his study of Father Richard and has gone to France sev­ eral times to visit the places where Father Richard had lived. Father Richard brought the first printing press to Michigan and printed the first newspaper m Michigan. He was the first and only Father elected to Congress. John Monteith, a Presbyterian minis­ ter andFather Richard were the first . teachers at the University of Michigan which started in Detroit in 1817. He also worked in the St. Anne's Parish in Detroit. These attainments show why Monsignor Hickey considers Father Richard a most important person in early Michigan. Mrs. Kaeichele, secretary in Senator Brown's of­ fice in the Michigan Legislature, pleasingly told a­ bout Africa's Rich Past. The day culminated with the M. E. A. banquet at Everett High School which was highlighted by a hu­ morous presentation by Bud Guest, “rhe Sunny Side of the Street" reporter from W. J.

Entitled Stand Up For America, it advocated the election of George Wallace for president of the United States. The advertisement found its appeal through the shrewd twisting of anything pertaining to patriotism. Although this deception angered me, I was much more concerned with the underlying philosophv of the. advertisement and ultimately the philosophy of Mr. Wallace. ’ . Speaking in Lansing recently, Mr. Wallace prom­ ised to ".turn back the ownership of property to the people of Michigan, and repeal the open housing law," if electea President. In so doing he would se' verely limit the freedom of many Americans--that same freedom which has cost the lives of countless American soldiers. I too think it is time for America to "Rise up"and face her problems. But you never face or conquer anything by "putting riot leaders down. " In "putting" any group of people "down” you only force them underground where their potential danger is far great­ er to America. To "clean up our government, city, state, and nation, " Mr. Wallace has advocated a hard line po­ lice core. His philosophy here is highly reminiscent of Hitler’s SS forces. And while in Europe last sum­ mer I saw some of the results of Hitler's regime. One striking example was the concentration camp a t Dachau, near Munich, Germany. Today this camp contains a pictorial museum portraying the history of Hitler's rise to power and the aftermath of the Third Reich. I shall never forget the faces of count­ less Jews who died there; every trace of human dig­ nity was denied them until their faces reflected on­ ly degradation and hopelessness. The Jews were the element in society Hitler chose to eliminate. Mr. Wallace merely advocates the elimination of "communists out of this free land. ” But who is to decide who the " communists" are? I also question how dear the United States of A­ merica really are to Mr. Wallace. As recently as two years ago, the confederate flag still flew above the courthouse in Montgomery, Alabama--perhaps it is still there today. For most Americans, how­ ever, the confederacy ended a hundred years ago. Finally I would disagree with the section of last week's advertisement, which portrayed our govern­ ment as a group of "lying commies at the helm us­ ing weak minded dignitaries. " I will never believe that the American people are led by such a group. Our country is composed of individuals who would never sit idly by and allow this to happen. Certainly there are many things wrong with A­ merica, bur I feel that there are many more things right with her. After spending a short ten weeks in various parts of England and Europe, I returned home very thankful to be an American. Our system is far from perfect, but I feel it offers greater op­ portunity for all citizens than any other country I visited. In many pans of Europe, traces of World War II are still most evident. Wandering through the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam, I glanced at a brochure explaining the reasons for its restoration. The house today remains as a "perpetual reminder of the ex­ tremes to which hatred and discrimination against people with other ideas and beliefs can lead. " A reminder lest we forget the danger of bigotry and intolerance... I fervently hope we--as Americanshave" not forgotten. Susan Hansen MV Graduate Senior at MSU "AS I SEE IT" NATIONAL NEWSPAPER Why MAPLE VALLEY NEWS NASHVILLE NEWS A VERMONTVILLE ECHO NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN. Published weekly by Nashville Publications, Inc, Entered at the Post Office at Nashville, Michigan Barry County, as Second Class Matter we ditcr edit Mayor Daley I do not feel many of us are qualified to judge Mayor Richard Daley as not being a good adminis­ trator for the metropolitan of Chicago because it is my personal opinion every human being cannot be judged by one incident. Many of us sometimes act totally unselfish one moment, then the next moment we become very greedy. Therefore, I think it is very unwise for in­ dividuals to try to evaluate a man witheuch a long political career as Mayor Richard Daley. His stand on law and order in order to protect human life should be congratulated. However, when one saw policemen striking women and children, this act is not to be condoned. V we would look at the mayor* s whole political career. I believe most of us wish he would dear up mote of the corruption, gambling, prostitution and other undesirable features in Chicago. To my esti­ mation, Mayor Daley may even hire and organize the organized criminals to maintain Chicago's law and order. In the same phrmises, if things get real rough, he may use LBJ’s hot-line to ask Russian par­ atroopers to help maintain law and order in Chicago. I think it is fair to say Mayor Daley had done Ms best to pay his political obligation to the Democrat­ ic party's establishment. I believe most of us re member the missing of voting machines, the irregu­ larities of voting procedures, the political pay-om in Chicago under Mayor Daley's administration have been numerously published in different papers. I be­ lieve the situation in Chicago makes us now wish Mayor Daley will utilize Ms deep conviction in the law and order not only to club women and chikteen but maybe he will be able to dean up the city's In­ ternal decay with a much mote decisive manner.

Thursday, October 10, 1968 Nashville �Church News Fire Prevention Week Fire Prevention Week proclaimed each year by the President of the United States will be observed this year from October 6 to 12 to remind everyone to be careful with fire. Be sure everyone in your family knows how to call the Fire Department. In 1967 your fire department was called to a to­ tal of 41 fires. Of this total 15 were house fires. Be sure your house is fire safe. Keep matches and flammable items away from children. Be sure your baby sitter knows what to do in case of fire. Snow her all the exits in the house and in case of fire her main job is to get the children out of the house quickly. Then ask a neighbor to notify the fire de­ partment. Smoking in bed, no screen in front of the f ire place, careless use of electricity, hot ashes dump­ ed in wastebasket, overheated wiring caused by the wrong size fuse, accumulation of trash and plugged chimneys are some of the causes of house fires. FIRES SAVE LIVES Obituary Dora Belle White Funeral services were held from the Leonard-Os­ good Funeral Home in Hastings last Friday for Mrs. Dora Belle White who, at 85, died Wednesday, Oc­ tober 9 at Pennock Hospital, having been a patient there for eight days. She had lived at Route 1, Has­ ting, but had been in the Medical Facility for 11 yean. Mrs. White was bom in Vineland, N. J. on July 12, 1883, daughter of Aaron and Hattie (Sylvester) Aldrich, and spent most of her life in Hamilton, * Ohio, before moving to Nashville where she was married to Delbert White on July 20, 1946. Survivors are three daughters, Mrs. Sanford (El­ sie Mae) Nelson of Lansing, Mrs. Jerome '(Helen) Ribar and Mrs. Frank (Hattie) Stieg, both of Ham­ ilton, Ohio; a son, Harry B. Jones of Kalamazoo, and seven grandchildren. Burial was made in Riverside Cemetery, Has­ tings. Your Fire Department in 1967 was called to eight auto fires. What should you do if your car catches on fire? Get all persons out and at least 150 feet a­ way from the car; then notify the fire department. Your firemen are trained for fighting fires. Here are some facts about your fire department. Maple Grove Township, Castleton Township and the Village of Nashville are protected by four trucks a new pumper, new tanker, a village-use pumper and a panel truck with a lighting plant, an inhalator and a smoke ejector. Your fire .department is run financially by your tax dollars and your Fire Board. Members of your fire department are men you meet and talk with every day. Your Fire Chief is Forrest Babcock, Assistant Chief, Mike Appelman. Secretary and treasurer, Wes Erwin, Captain Doug Yarger and Lieutenant Jerry Kent. Other members inchide Leon Ackett, Eldon Day, Lee Christopher, FredAckett, Don Augustine, Ken Christie, Bill Hel­ sel, Joel Hummel, George Kellogg, Bernard Mar­ tin, Bob Wood, Larry Decker andWallace Graham. So let's all work together in preventing fires not only during Fire Prevention Week, but every week of the year. When you see the fire trucks going down the road, give them the right-of-way; they might be going to your house. WESLEY L.

Report mail box tampering • ¥ Postmasters Wilma DeCamp and Lawrence Frith of the Nashville and Vermontville post offices have been receiving numerous complaints of umpering with the rural mail boxes, especially the ones that are located within the village limits and in some ca­ ses the complaints have been for malicious damage to the boxes. Also the complaints involve small children opening the mail boxes after the rural car­ rier has left the mail, and putting different patron's mail in boxes other than their own mail box and e­ ven taking the mail and putting it on the neighbors porches.

Self-Propelled w/Corn Head $2, 995. 00 600.00 395.00 WERTZ IMPLEMENT Ph. 543-2540 CHARLOTTE The complaints in the rural area are more for ma­ licious damage and destruction of the patron's rural mail boxes, ranging from tearing off tne flag, blow­ ing up the mailbox resulting in complete destruction tearing the box off the support and leaving it along the highway and throwing things at the box and rack­ ing them all out of shape. Also turning the mailbox­ es around on their posts. We emphasize that "mail­ boxes are protected by Federal law, and pranksters or vandals who damage or destroy the boxes and their contents may be in for a heavy fine or im­ prisonment, ” Your Postmasters noted that 25, 000 mail recepta­ cles were damaged or destroyed in the past year. Al­ so noted was the fact that 2, 641 persons were arrest­ ed in the year up to June 30th for damaging or des­ troying mail receptacles. Postmasters DeCamp and Frith quoted the law: "Whoever wilfully or maliciously injures, tears down or destroys any letterbox or other recepucle intended or used for the receipt or delivery of mail on any mail route, or breaks open the same or wil­ fully or maliciously injures, defaces or destroys any mau deposited therein, shall be fined not more than $1, 000 or imprisoned not more than three years. " This applies to all mail receptacles and the mail in them, even though the boxes are bought by citi­ zens and are their personal property, the postmasters emphasized. "Pranksters--and especially children who do not know any better--should be made to realize the ser­ iousness of their actions, " the postmasters said. "A $1, 000 fine or a term in jail is enough to take the humor out of any prank, " and parents are responsi­ ble for the actions of their children. Often the mailbox damage is the work of youths, who do it for "kicks" and the courts have shown lit­ tle sympathy for this youthful means of expression. Here in Michigan, a justice sentenced two 18-year olds to 10 days in jail, including two on a diet of baby food. Tlie diet specification, explained the judge, was because the youths "acted like babies." They were also fined $25 each plus $15 costs. Tne Po«office Department collection boxes that are placed at the curb and other convenient loca­ tions for the "convenience and accommodation of the public" are also a target for the "pranksters.” These outside mail receptacles are the property of the postoffice Department and are solely for the purpose of depositing "United Sates Mail •therein, by the general public, to be picked up by the post­ master, or a designated postal employee, and dis­ patched on the next scheduled dispatcn of mail from the local postoffice. Therefore throwing bottles, empty or otherwise, garbage and trash of all des­ cription in these " US Mail Collection Boxes" comes under the laws that have already been stated, and is a Federal offense and could cause costly damage to the contents, and prove to be costly'’ to the ones that had the idea that it would be 'real smart" to use the "US Mail Collection Box" for a trash arid garbage recepucle. The " kick" the offender gets out of doing this is very liable to "kick back" with the help of the Postal Inspectors and area law en­ forcement officers. It is a shameful thing when anyone can go down the highway and maliciously.damage dr destroy a rural mall box, that has been so carefully installed and make attractive by the owner, with time and pride involved, and have someone come along and . destroy it all in just a second's time, just for 'kicW.

Leon Housler, principal of the Maple Valley High School, congratulates Alice Linsley as she was crowned Homecoming Queen during Half-time festivities Friday night.

These floats took part in the parade during half-time also. —Photo by John Boughton �BACKSTREET BAROMETER I predict that Leon Housler is going to work out as principal of the high school. He has already pass­ ed his first test - kissing the homecoming queen, and he did a very good job of it. Of course he had a great advantage in that he had a remarkably pret­ ty cunch of girls to kiss as he crowned them. I know there are many things about being the principal of a high school that can be a real drag. This job, like any other, has a certain amount of routine which could become quite a bore. He has many things that are not too pleasant to do. He has some decisions to make tnat are not popular with the kids, and even with the general public. He had duties to perform that he would probably rather leave undone. He no doubt, has many days when he would rather stay in bed than to come back to the drag. But part of the duties of the prin­ cipal J* also to kiss the homecoming queen. This has to be the best job in town. Letter to Editor Route #2 Nashville, Mich. October 11, 1968 Editor Nashville News Nashville, Mich. Dear Sir:. Published in last week's News was a letter from Susan Hansen, student at MSU, referring to George Wallace' philosophy on Americanism and Patriot­ ism as twisted. I would like to ask Miss Hansen this: Is it so wrong to love your country, to try to save some freedoms for our children? Is it so wrong to say prayeis in school or salute the flag or sing the National Anthem? It is a sad day for this land of ours when so many young people are deserting the armed forces.bringing shame on their parents and country.’ I feel ob­ ligated to preach patriotism and love for this country to my children, after seeing what lack of Sride the youth of today have for themselves and ick of respect they have for their country. I can see why students fear law and order. Why did the Democrats build a fence around the Cow Palace? To protect their representatives from the students. This is the same reason the Republicans had thousands of guards at their convention. Who starts all the riots? No one but the students. Who heckles all the presidential candidates? No one but the students. The DuBois Club and the Students for Democratic Society, two of the larg­ est Communist front organizations in the US today have chapters on 800 campuses. They wave the Viet Cong flag, preach revolution and overthrow of this government, bum our flag or tear it to pieces. They send clothes, blood, and medicines to the Viet Cong. Wallace says let's put a stop to their treason. Is this so wrong? To want to support our fighting men instead of the enemy? They say Wallace is a hate monger. Is it so wrong to hate murderers, ra­ pists, looters, burners? It b time we thought about the victim, and imprisoned the criminal. work-­ All the property owner, taxpayer, steady work er wants is this. The only protestors are students. Why? Wallace wants to stop trade with countries help­ ing the Viet Cong. He wants to repel open hous­ ing. Shouldn't a person's home be his to do with as ne wants. The 1964 Civil Rights Act says no school d is trict can be made to desecrate nut the Federal government says you will have to go by our guide­ lines or get no federal aid. Who paid this federal aid? The taxpayers do. Wallace wants to do away with this federal blackmail. No Walter Reuther or big business supports the Wallace campaign. Just the little man. He is on the ballot in all the states because of individuals who love and support this country. Sincerely, Douglas Ayles NATIONAL NEWSPAPER!

All a­ long the road leading to the new building are reels of cable. The new building will house equipment for the Nashville-Vermontville exchange. Nashville is experiencing a bit of a building boom out Fuller Heights way. Not only is there con­ siderable building in the Fuller Heights subdivision but some is going on just across from it too. I don't think some of us realize how anxious some of the city people are to get out in the country. Many people from Battle Creek and Lansing and all a­ round us will be moving further out. Nashville and Vermontville are in a good position. We are close enough to the big towns that a person can commute and tar enough away to make living a bit better.

Chien a weekly syndicated column distributed by the Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency A BROKEN DREAM OF CO-EXISTENCE If we look over our old magazines of 1938 and try to compare today's world situation, there are so many similarities between these two periods. There is die Nazis’ uprising to its peak, the international silent consensus to sacrifice small nations to the big powers, the Spanish Civil War use as a military hard­ ware testing ground, Japairoccupation of China and gradually moving into Indo China. The Western poweB sacrificed Czechoslovakia's independence to ap­ pease Adolf Hitler. During that time we, too, dream­ ed of co-existance. We dreamed about international prosperity. 1 think many world travelen will agree with me that our trouble spots today are not limited in the Far East. The military build-up in the Middle East by the Russian infiltration against Israel is of public knowledge. The anti-semitism revived in th^Eastern European nations, Russian occupation of Czechoslvakia and military threat to Rumania is only a preview of the Berlin blockade and total military actions against the West German government in the very near future. I do not believe our news media carry the real truth of the Russian threat in Europe and the Middle East enough to arouse the public attention. The dream of co-existance has lasted longer than the dream of the League of Nations. Unless we are able to rededicate ourselves to clear up our internal de­ cay with a firm stand against the military totalitar­ ianism and dictatorship, we probably will become a target of international communistic aggression.

Horace Powers talks to Nashville Chamber members Larry V roman Approximately 42 persons attended the meeting of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce Wednesday evening at the VFW HalL Horace Powers and his wife Mabie were special guests. Horace also talk­ ed briefly regarding the office of District Judge of Barry ano Eaton district. He explained the chan­ ges which would take place because of this new of­ fice and the duties the District Judge would have. Al Smith, Bill Kjergaard and Glenn Garlinger were in charge of providing the interesting speaker for the meeting. In the regular business meeting of the Chamber, president George Vogt presided. Following the us­ ual secretary’s and treasurer's reports, repons were given by various committee heads. Al Smith, reporting for the Industrial Commit­ tee, stated that the women working at the Nash­ ville plant of the Baby Bliss had been taken to Middleville to receive additional training. They should be back in the Nashville plant by November. The additional training was to help have a more efficient operation locally. A report, also given by Al Smith, gave addition­ al information about the progress in securing ade­ quate Christmas decorating for the downtown area. Marine Private Larry G. Vroman, 18, son of Ml and Mrs. Keith D. Vroman of 360 E. Broadway, Woodland was graduated from eight weeks of re­ cruit training at the Marine Corps Recruit Depot at Great Lakes, Illinois. He will now undergo from two to four weeks of individual combat training and then, after leave at home, will report to hrs first Marine Corps as­ signment. The intensified Marine recruit training empha­ sizes rigid physical conditioning and survival tech­ niques, both at sea and ashore, to develop self­ confidence and endurance. Marksmanship with the M-14 rifle and 45-caliber pistol are equally stress­ ed, and close order drill instills the traditions of Marine Corps teamwork. A thorough study of basic military subjects, hy­ giene, first aid and sanitation, and the customs, courtesies, history and mission of the Marine Corps serve to polish the new Marine's recruit education and prepare him to join the Marine combat forces. Richard Webb Seaman Apprentice Richard H. Webb, USN, 20, son of Mr. Harold E. Webb of Route 1, Nashville, has been graduated from nine weeks of Navy basic training at the Naval Training Center at Great Lakes, Illinois. In the first weeks of his naval service he studied military subjects and lived and worked under con­ ditions similar to those be will encounter on his first ship or at his first shore station. In making the translation from civilain life to Naval service, he received instruction under veter­ an Navy petty officers. He studied seamanship, as well as survival techniques, military drill and oth­ er subjects.

Leu Nagle, clerk was advised to look up ordinance r e garding sidewalks and present it at the next regular meeting. Albert Hackett, representing the local Lions Club came to present a plan for a Community Park They had thought of the lot at Water Plant. This park would be for recreational purposes. If plans to be submitted by Lion's Club are approved, it was the general opinion such a park would be fine. Chas. Viele made a motion that the lot at the Water Tow­ er be used for Park for recreation purposes. Cleo Prescott supported, aU ayes. Motion carried. Mr. Siple reported the general feeling of the Ver­ montville Township Board regarding the furnishing of a dump for Vermontville and community. The contract with Mr. Donald Hosey expired on Sept. 1, 1968, and Mr. Hosey didn't care to continue to op­ erate the dump longer. The village is trying to ne­ gotiate with turn, whereby it could keep it open at least one day a week Siple feels that the township would be willing to help make this possible. If it is so granted and we can maintain a dump a plan will be set up as to financing the project. Suggested selling membership cards to users. Since the last special meeting, prospects for dis­ posing of G. O. and Revenue Bonds for the purpose of constructing sewers seems much brighter. It seems at this time that plans may soon be underway.

He has visttea 10 estab­ lishments in Nashville and Vermontville, and some are very interested in working with the school in the in-school education and supervised on-the-job train­ ing program. The enrollment this year has increased 70 students, reaching a total of 1, 853. This is causing difficul­ ties in room space, which will become even more severe in future years if this growth trend continues.

CHARLOTTE . : William Gibbs, athletic director spoke to the board on adding tennis and golf, and competing in these events in the Expressway League. Approval was given. These two sports are relatively low in operation costs. He also discussed the fact that Comstock Park north of Grand Rapids is being con­ sidered as a member of the Expressway League. There are presently only five schools in the league which leaves something to be desired when schedul­ ing games. The board approved renewing their lease program with the Schalow Rambler in Portland on a station wagon. It will be necessary to purchase 45 lockers for the junior-senior high scnool, and a number of teachers' desks and chairs will be purchased. Supt. Carroll Wolff discussed future building plans in order to take care of the ever-increasing enrollments. While de­ tailed plans and figures will be determined later, the crying need now is present in the fifth-sixthseventn grade areas. Last year the board discussed briefly the idea of the eignt counties surrounding Lansing to employ a legislative agent. The cost to the district woula be $200 plus 10 cents per student. Considering the pres­ sure being placed on legislators by the large city districts, it would seem advisable to attempt such an approach for more aid to the rural districts. How­ ever, no action was taken at Monday night's meet­ ing. Bills totaling $9, 961. 27 were allowed. Supt. Wolff’reported that October state aid in the amount of $119, 620. 00 has been received. The board approved the transfer of the September 20 and October 4 payrolls to the payroll account, and other routine business was transacted. Locals Mr. and Mrs.’Laurence Garlinger of Olympia, Washington arrived by plane last Thursday to visit their family for two weeks.

HANOVER The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, October 17, 1968 PH 945-2427 HASTINGS �Nashville Village Council meets The Nashville village council was visited by a number of citizens at Thursday night's meeting. Some to present a petition stating that they did not want the Jack Green property on Cleveland street rezoned as commercial; others to discuss putting up permanent poles and cables to hold the Christmas decorations and to seek financial assistance for the job; the Cub Scout master, Oliver Downing was pres­ ent to discuss problems concerning the Boy Scout Hall which is village-owned; Ed. Baker of Charlotte was on hand to discuss garbage problems, and the council adopted a ordinance on week control. The council had designated Thursday night for a public hearing regarding the rezoning of the Green property. Once used as a welding and farm machin­ ery repair shop, the building has been vacant for some time and when the village adopted its zoning ordinance in January the property was zoned along with the homes in the area as residential. Mr. Green, who now resides in Florida Would liketosell the property to be reopened as an automobile shop and for painting cars. The neighbors in the immediate vicinity present­ ed a petition to the council which read, "we, the undersigned do not want the Green property on Cleveland street to be rezoned to a commercial zone for a paint shop or any other commercial bus­ iness. " It was signed by 28 persons. When village president Harold Christiansen ques­ tioned those present, they said they objected to the spraying of paint, that previously they found their street and driveways clogged with cars, and stated they were happy with conditions as they are now. They pointed out that if the council die see fit to rezone the property that more stringent rules and regulations be made regarding the use of the streets, and one said "What good is zoning if one can get property changed from residential to commercial?' On the other hand, Mr. Green has quite an invest­ ment in his property, and is anxious to sell the building which is designed primarily for a business. Al Smith, Hubert Lathrop and Cecil Barrett from the Chamber of Commerce were on hand to discuss Christmas decorations. The Chamber, with assis­ tance from the council, has been purchasing new decorations for Main Street over the past couple or three years. Each year Consumers Power comes in to provide wiring across Main Street on which to hang the decorations. The Chamber would like to have the lines permanent, and felt that between the two—the Chamber and the village--this could be handled adequately. The council voted approxi­ mately $300 toward tne project, and the Chamber will take care of the rest, which will be probably another $300. Downing was present to seek information on . whether or not the council had any thoughts of sell­ ing the Scout Hall. There have been numerous ru­ mors to that effect. He was assured the council had no intention of such a transaction. Ed. Baker of Charlotte, who handles the garbage pickup for the village, stated he is having labor turnover problems, and felt that because the new personnel might miss some of the pickups, he thought the problem might be solved more easily if the garbage cans were set at the curb. He was given no assurance this might be done, but the council will give further consideration to the prob­ lem. In other business the council adopted an ordi­ nance for the control of noxious weeks on private property. If the weeds and grass are not cut at least once every three weeks between May 15 and Sep­ tember 1'5, then the village will take care of the situation and the cost, plus 15 percent for inspec­ tion and other costs in connection, will be levied against the property as a special assessment and will be collected as other special assessment) lev­ ied in the, village. The new ordinance will take ef­ fect Nov. 1 or 21 days after its enactment.

TAKES THE FUN OUT OF LIFE! NO MORE GARBAGE MANTO CHASE! Maple Valley Jaycee The Maple Valley Jaycees held theirfint "M-Night" Orientation on Thursday, September 26 at the Amer­ ican Legion Hall in Vermontville. The purpose of this function was to acquaint new members, as well as old members with the purpose of Javcees. Chair­ man for the event was Duane Reid and committee members were Bob Gardner, Marvin Laurie, BillKjergaard and Gary Foote. The evening turned out to be a great success as four new Jaycees were signed up. They are; Bill Semrau, Larry Snowden, Jerry Reese and Mike DeJune. Mr. Stan Trumble, a resident of Vermontville and former village president, was the keynote speaker of the evening and gave a very inspiring talk on what the Jaycees could do for communities like Vermont­ ville and Nashville. His answer was a very vital one, especially this year. He said that the best thing w e could do for Vermontville and Nashville was to get oat and register and vote in the November Election and all other elections held in our communities. His speech was so penetrating that the Jaycees decided that very night to bold a "Get Our and Register-Get Ont and Vote" drive in conjunction with their Hal­ loween candy sale on September 30. Also in attendance was Mr. Larry Wine of Char­ lotte, Jaycee National Director of Region D. Mr. Wine gave a talk and showed slides on the impor­ tance of having Jaycees and the duties and opportun­ ities for Jaycees.

' - The Student Council is made up of elected offi­ cers and representatives from the grades in the Jun­ ior-Senior building. Heading up the organization this year is Miss Karen Benedict, the first girl to hold this position since the consolidation of the for­ mer Nashville-Vermontville schools. Karen, a senior, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold E. Benedict. She is also the 1968 Maple Syr­ up Festival queen of Vermontville. Other officers include vice president, Raymond Garvey, the only boy elected to office; secretary, Patricia Barlond, and treasurer, Sandra Foote. Leaf pickup begins * » Leaf pickup in Nashville will begin on Monday, October 28. Residents are to rake the leaves into the gutter. All persons are reminded there is to be NO burn­ ing of leaves on any blacktop surface. > The student disciplinary court will handle m is demeanors of the students as well as drawing up rules and regulations for the student body. It is hoped this will take some of the load oft the admin­ istration and teachers, and will prove an interesting experience for the students. During November the council will sponsor a cloth­ ing drive for underprivileged persons of the Appa­ lachian Mountain area, and in December there is to be a Christmas tree walk, when students may walk past the tree and place canned goods to be distribu­ ted to needy families in the Nasnville-Vermontville area. A little later in the year the Student Council, with the assistance of the journalism class, will send gifts to all Nashville and Vermontville service men who are serving in Vietnam. The Council also supervises all dances sponsored by the various class­ es, and is in charge of the cafeteria during the noon luncheon hour. They also sponsored the activ­ ities for the Homecoming dance and football queen contest. VFW Auxiliary to see film The national president of the Ladies Auxiliary to the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Mrs. Elmer (Lora) Wa­ ters, will show Michigan memben a pilot film on "Movies from Home" when she visits Jackson, Octo­ ber 25-26, 1968. The film demonstrates how to get filmed messages from families to American servicemen in Vietnam. "We’d like to bring the boys home to their fam­ ilies, but we can’t, ” Mrs. Waters said recently."So, we’re doing the next best thing -- sending talking pictures of families to the boys. " Mrs. Leroy R. Pahl, Michigan VFW Auxiliary president, said memben in her state will work with television and military personnel to get as many movies as possible ready for Christmas delivery. "The armed forces tell us our Christmas deadline is December 1, ” said Mrs. PahL "We’ll try to make family movies next year, too, because we know soldiers are lonely in all seasons. But we thought we’d make a special effort for Christmas. " A member of Ft. Lawton Auxiliary 3694 of Seattle, Washington, Mrs. Waters has held many offices in the Department of Washington, becoming its presi­ dent in 1950. During the time she was advancing toward the national presidency, she served as Na­ tional Director of the Rehabilitation, Americanism, and National Home Fund programs. Mrs. Water's special project this year will make it possible for men in Vietnam to see movies from home. Auxili­ ary members work with local TV stations and the armed services to film messages from the families of service men. Mrs. Waters will arrive at midnight on Friday, Oc­ tober 25, at Reynolds Municipal Airport in Jackson. On October 26, there will be a visit to the Veterans of Foreign Wars National Home, Eaton Rapids, fol­ lowed by radio interviews. Later in the day she will attend a meeting of auxiliary memben, conducted by Mrs. PahL In the evening a reception will pre­ cede a dinner in Mrs. Water’s honor. Mrs. William (Betty) Ross of Jackson has been ap­ pointed general chairman far the national president's visit. Parent-teacher Conferences scheduled for October 24-25 Parent-Teacher conferences have been scheduled for this week Thursday and Friday tn all buildings. School will be dismissed at the Jr-Sr High School at 11:30 a. m. and at the elementary buildings at 1145 a. m. on Thursday, October 24. Conferences with parents will be held Thursday afternoon and all day Friday. Therefore, school will not be in session for any students on Friday. In past years the attendance at conferences in the elementary grades has been very encouraging with a very high percent of the parents coming to meet with the teachers. Unfortunately, the number of parents attending the conferences in the Jr-Sr. High School has not Seen nearly as high as desired. It u hoped that more parents will attend the conferences this year at the Jr-Sr High SchooL and the teachers wel­ come this opportunity to meet with the parents of the students enrolled in their classes. Some of the teachers teach in mote than one build­ ing, and we have set a schedule when you might meet with them in the different buildings. Thursday afternoon the following teachers will all be at Fuller St. Elementary: Garry Brown will visit local villages Mrs, King, Remedial reading; Mrs. Stewart, Physi­ cal education; Miss Holmes, Art; and Mrs. Suida, Speech therapist.

Then, as I said, it's difficult to see why it wouldn't pass, Michigan, more than any other state, should be in favor of clean water. Michigan probably has more fresh water than any other state or country of its size in the world. The Great Lakes represent the largest body of fresh water in the world, and Michigan controls 405> of the Great Lakes. So Michigan's stake in clean water is much higher than anyone elses. Certainly, we cannot go on for very much longer polluting the lakes as we have in the past. ' I read somewhere that sewage that was dumped into the lakes during the Civil War is still there. It does not dissipate itself-as quickly as one would believe, apparently. Sewage that was dumped in the Detroit River by the city of Detroit during the Truman administration is still not yet to the Niaga­ 213 N Williams MSU, E. Lansing, Michigan To the Editor: Last week's News featured a letter written in response to an earlier letter 1 had written. The author, Douglas Ayles, began by questioning my beliefs concerning God, Motherhood, and the American Flag --in about that order. I am not trying to be facetious; perhaps I am being unnec­ essarily blunt. But, I think Mr. Ayles should re­ read my letter because I wrote it as a concerned American -- and therefore in favor of God, Mother­ hood and the American Flag. Also, I am afraid that Mr. Ayles* prejudices are showing: not ALL protestors are students, jjor are all students protestors. And furthermore portests can be constructive as well as destructive. The late Dr. Martin Luther King was notorious for various forms of protest, and he Became a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. I could disagree with much more of the contents of last week's letter, but I do not have the time to write a manuscript nor would the News have any need to publish it. As a student, I carry a full number of credits' also I work approximately 30 hours a week- as a Resident Assistant. This term I am helping team teach folk and square dance to a group of Girl Scouts. In the past I have participated on an all-university sports team, various commit­ tees, and various dormitory activities. I am writing all this only to add that I am not unique. Many of my fellow students also find time to read to blind students or tutor "slow learners" through cadet teaching programs. These are some of the con­ structive student activities which are seldom men­ tioned or written about outside of the campus com­ munity. Although my time this term is rather limited, I will be home student teaching in January. If you would Hke to, we can continue this discussion at that time, Mt. Ayles. Sincerely yours, SUSAN HANSEN Route 5, Charlotte, Mich October 19, 1968 Dear Editor; I neglected to write last week to commend Miss Susan Hansen for her fine letter in your October 10 issue; but I was so outraged by some of the assertions in the letter by Douglas Ayles (October 17) that I am writing now. There are, I m sure, few of your readers who con­ done the foul language, destruction of property, and acts of violence which have characterized some of the "demonstrations” by students and others. But the statement in the Ayles* letter that "the only . protestors are students is completely false. So is the implication, in another paragraph, that the great majority of students, if not all, are involved tn the riots, flag-burnings, etc. Often many of those joining with protesting students are drop-outs or outside agitators. Also, according to Life (Oct 18) there are 7, 000, 000 college students in U. S. Of these, 7,000 are memben of S. D. S., the radical group mentioned by Mr. Ayles. That is one out of one thousand, or one-tenth of one percent! The leaden claim that 35, 000 more support them by taking pan in their activities; but it would take another 28,000 if even one percent of all the students were included in these mobs. Yet they are the ones who make the front pages of our newspapers and are caught by the TV cameras -- not the 99^ who are studying or are taking pan in constructive campus activities. As for Wallace -- I'm sure you wouldn't have space for all I might say to show why 1 am appalled by the thought at such a man for President; but let me say just a few words. His speeches have some high-sounding phrases: "Clean up govenunenr; "Sound the drum for free­ dom”, "Stand up for America" But listen to a few and ruin it for years in an effort to get a few fish; 4 hunters - who shoot anything that moves and then w leave it lying; and scatter their trails with cigarette packages, beer bottles and othAr debris. Maybe, though, we're getting smarter. At least somebody is trying, at least. There are some who want to _ clean tne lakes up, who want to bond enough money to do this. I hope the proposal passes and I hope we can, indeed, clean our lakes up because if we don't start now it may be too late! by jo bn boughton ra Falls. Apparently it takes awhile to clean up a lake and the quicker we start at it, the better off we'll 5e. Of course, municipalities, towns, in­ dividuals do their share of polluting the lakes, but by far the greatest polluters are the industrial plants along the lakes. Another statistic I read somewhere is that seven industrial plants in Milwaukee, Wisconsin - just 7 plants - - pollute the lake more than a city of one million would pollute it by dumping raw sew­ age into it. These industries must be convinced that they must treat their waste products before they put them into the lake, and this is going to cost them money -- so I would assume jt is going to be difficult to convince them. Man must be a pretty crummy animal; I don't know of any other breed that goes out of its way to soil its own environment. But man seems to do it, even the lovers of the great out-of-doors makes a shambles of the great out-of-doors. So-called fishermen who tramp down the banks of the stream other direct quotations from George Wallace: I’m gonna make race the basis of politics in this state and country. Nigguhs hate whites, and whites hate nigguhs. Everybody knows that deep down. They start a riot down here, first one of 'em to pick up a brick gets a bullet in the brain, that's all. We got too much dignity in government now; what we need is some meanness. Do you want to vote for a man who believes these things? Sincerely yours, HELEN STEWARD October 18, 1968 Editor Maple Valley News Nashville, Michigan ' Letter in the Public Interest: At the regular membership meeting of the Maple Valley Jaycees, held on September 17, 1968 at the American Legion Hall in Vermontville, it was u nariimously voted that the Maple Valley Jaycees vote "Yes'* on the November ballot for the two new bond Issues proposed by the Michigan Legislature. The Michigan Jaycees, at its summer meeting i n Alma, also votea unanimously to support the bond programs which we have named, "Clean Water and Quality Recreation. " As you can probably tell by the title that we have put on it, the program is to deal with the p r o b 1 e nr of Michigan lakes and streams that are getting to the point where Lake Erie has been named, "The Dead Lake. " Lake Michigan is polluted throughout the southern half of the lake with several beaches closed during the summer. As many of us know who travel throughout the summer, the problem of find­ ing places to stay in State Parks in Michigan is in­ creasing. > I imagine the main questions that everybody is interested in when they are looking at a problem of this type is the money it will cost to clear it up, where the money is to come from, and the increase in taxes to the individual. In answer to these questions, the entire program will provide a total of $155 million for quality re­ creation and $568 million for clean water. As to the question of where would the money come from, the State Government's share of the total would come from the sale of Full Faith and Credit State Bonds, if the sale of such bonds is approved by the Legislature, then the voters in November. The Federal Government would provide its share under the Clean Waters Restoration Act, the Land and Water Conservation Fund, the Pittman-Robertson and Dinge 11-Johnson Acts, and other Federal A i d Projects. As to the question of higher taxation, the gener­ al answer is.not necessarily! The total cost to the state, if these bond issues are approved, would av­ erage $24.4 million annually. But two other bond issues--the Korean Veteran's Bonus and the Hospi­ tal Bond Redemption Fund—will be paid off in 1970 and 1971, respectively. Annual payments of these two bond issues total $13. 5 million. State treasury receipts now being used to complete payment of these two issues might then be diverted to repay­ ment of the Clean waters and Quality Recreation bond issues. The costs might come from present state income taxes or other general fund receipts without the need for new or additional taxes against the public. These decisions, however, would nave to be made by the legislature. In summary, we, the citizens of the Great Lakes State have an opportunity this November to allow the Michigan Legislature to raise money to curb the problem at Water Pollution and provide additional monies for Michigan's State Parks. If we are going to move tn meet this problem while it is at its pres­ ent state and not wait until the problem is much larger, because this is a problem that will get larg­ er; we must move and act now by voting ’Ya" on the November ballot. in the public interest, It's getting on to that time of year again. All night long, off and on, I heard tne furnace. When I opened the door to pick up the Free Press, a chill blast hit me. The hot coffee tasted particularly good this morning, as it always does on a cold day, and as I got out to my car, there was ice on the windshield. Not frost — ice! So, steel yourself, anothet winter is on its way. I don't know what the caterpillars have to s a y about it, I haven't looked and I'm not sure whether a fuzzy caterpillar means a hard winter or an open winter. But people say that signs are that we are go­ ing to have an easy winter. They all have a differ­ ent reason for saying so. One man told me that be­ cause we've had such a late fall, because the weath­ er has been so mild up to now, that this Is a goo d' sign that we're going to have a mild winter. I hope he’s right Another fellow told me that because it had ramed so hard during the fall, we wouldn't have much snow during the winter. Now, this sounds logical. Maybe if we get it all out of our system in the fall, we won't have it in the winter. Well, an open winter I can stand; I won't object to it The seat belt is a~wonderful invention, but like ' all wonderful inventions, it sometimes seem to have been invented only to frustrate people. Have you ever tried to sneeze with a seat belt on? You start fumbling for the handkerchief in your back pocket and can’t get it because you are so snugged in by the seat belt One of my favorite trie la on a cold morning is to be all bundled up, to get into the car, fasten my seat belt and then start fumbling for my keys - which - you guessed it - are impossible to §et with the seat belt I'm sure seat belts save wusands of lives in a year. I'm sure, also, that they do their share to frustrate a few drivers. ”AS I SEE IT” written by Paul P. Chien a weekly syndicated column distributed by the Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency HOW WE ARE ABLE TO THINK POSITIVELY In recent decades any individual who wanted to be identified as a psuedo intellectual had to be neg­ atively critical towards any subject he cared to dis­ cuss. Recently, I conversed this matter with one of my psychiatrist clients. According to him. the psue­ do intellectual usually is egotistic in nature; he loves publicity; and he hates to see anyone else get a­ head. He tries to ignore the other individual's ac­ complishment! ano continuously employs smearing attacks. The psuedo intellectual usually likes to make such remarks as: This man's success should be­ long to his wife; she's from a wealthy family. I read -his thesis and there is no depth to it. The reason why he reached the top is because be loves to lie k his boss's boots. . He considers his achievements and recognition as being well earned and well deserved. Yet for any­ one else who received the same, it-is by political influence or it is a fraud. The negative thinking peo­ ple usually create a conflict of interest and fabri­ cate the truth. Usually this type of individual has a mental incompetency, physical impotency, and a heart disease. I do not think in a free society w e can afford to have too many negative people. Their existence will destroy our nation's unity, encourage the class struggle; and most of all, they murepre­ sent the truth which a fre^nation cannot afford to lose. - NATIONAL NEWSPAPER Uigrgtg. umiuiHi mn MAPLE VALLEY MEWS NASHVILLE NEWS A VERMONTVILLE ECHO NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publicatioiu.

Bill Gibbs, ~ Assistant Larry Lenz BY ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION i JURY DUTY A new system for selecting citizens for jury duty goes into effect next year. Mote people willbe call­ ed to serve, but the length of service is cut from three months to a maxiumum of 30 days. Prospective jurors are presently selected by town­ ship supervisors and city aidermen from property tax rolls. They serve for $15 per day. The selec­ tion method was designed when Michigan was pri­ marily an agricultural state and is not conducive to present modes of living, charges Lee C. Dramis, a Lansing lawyer who played a leading role in re­ writing the jury law. Working men find it difficult to support their families on $15 a day, and many ask to be excused for economic reasons. Persons who do not own real estate are automatically eliminated. This excuses about 80 percent of the men and 60 percent of the women in urbanized counties, Dramis said. As a result, juries are now composedmainly of retired persons, housewives and persons with little or no regulfr demands on their time. your REPUBLICAN ACTION TEAM NOON AGNEW U. S.

King Surveyor FOR COUNTY SUPERVISOR VOTE FOR: THE CANDIDATE FOR YOUR DISTRICT: The new law specifies that voter registration lists be used instead of property tax rolls. A special jury board, appointed by the governor, will make the selection rather than supervisors and aidermen. A special mathematical formula will insure names being picked at random.' Exemptions under the new law are few: physical or mental disability, persons over 70, police offi­ cers and lawyers, citizens who do not understand the English language. The presiding judge may make . other exceptions, but excusals are expect­ ed only rarely under the new system, Dramis con­ tends. ' ' , .. New jurors will be selected by the jury board in May of each year. If lawyers agree, six-member juries may be used for civil cases. Six-member juries will be used for both civil and criminal cases in the new District Courts which replace the pres­ ent Justice Court system January 1. A special provision in the new law makes an em­ ployer who fires a person because of his absence for jury duty guilty of a misdemeanor.

During a 1967 survey among Michigan families, these three subjects were rated " criticaL ” The or­ ganization hopes that each of the 2, 000 local units will devote several meetings to the topics, and then build upon local interest with specific pro­ grams. ” If all the PTA units across the state will con­ centrate on these three major subjects, the PTA in Michigan can unite, for effective study and positive action," Haist declared. Many positive programs have been fostered in the past, but seldom has the organization aimed strong­ ly at specific subjects. To help its 360,000 mem­ bers organize plans of action, the group sponsored nine "program planning clinics" during August. ANEED UPDATING Most people seldom need the services of a notary public, but proper notarization of documents can avoid serious complications when legal transactions are made. Buying and selling agreements, transfer of property, publication of legal notices, and many other affairs must have signatures notarized. The notary public's responsibilitity is to verify the valid­ ity of tne signature. Failure to do so may result in a costly court suit. The importance of a notary public is in sharp con­ trast, to the minimal requirements for the appoint­ ment. For many years now, applicants need only be twenty-one yeais of age, a resident of the county from which they apply, and be endorsed by a cir­ cuit of probate judge, state senator or representa tive. A $2 filing fee is charged by the state, $1 by the county clerk, and $8 to $14 for bonding. The governor makes the appointment and only his office can revoke a commission. There are current­ ly about 100, 000 notaries public in Michigan. Com­ plaints regarding improper notarization and over­ charging of fees are frequent, according to the Sec­ retary of State's office which processes applications. Seldom are commissions cancelled. Efforts to establish higher qualifications have been unsuccessful New legislation has been introduced, but it has not received serious attention from 1 a w makers. Wm J.

The rate increase will average 10. 5 percent and in most cases will mean an additional ten cents postage per parcel. The higher rates were approved by the Interstate Commerce Commission in July. Under the new rates the minimum charge for lo­ cal parcel delivery will got from 40 to 50 cents. The minimum charge for parcels destined outside the local delivery area will be raised from 50 cents to 60 cents. Almost all parcels that are charged up to $1.10 under present rates will go up 10 cents. This a c counts for more than 80 percent of all parcel post, the postmasters pointed out. Parcel post rates are based on the weight of the package and the distance it is mailed. Higher rates for delivery of packages and cata­ logs are required to bring revenue from this type c mail within four percent of operating costs, as re­ quired by law, the postmasters explained. The higher rates are designed to put parcels and cata­ logs, which are fourth-class mail, on a break-eve basis. Additional revenue is needed from parcel post and catalogs to offset higher cost resulting from pay increases approved last year for postal e m ployees. There will be a 15-cent hike on most parcels now charged between $1.10 and $4, and a 20-cent increase on parcels now charged over $4.

Centennial meeting The Centennial Committee, heading up plans for Nashville's celebration next June 26, 27 and 28 met Wednesday evening at the Castleton Township HalL A goodly number of the organizations represented in the Centennial Committe are planning some spec­ ial events to create enthusiasm for celebrating Nash­ ville's 100th birthday. Already there are some "Brothers of the Brusn" clubs getting started, and at least four "Women's Belle" groups are in the process of signing-up members. The Nashville Garden Club women are to made their own "old fashioned" dress­ es for the event, and before long there will be plan­ ned caravans, old fashioned box socials, and per­ haps some dances with a "centennial" flavor. A history of Nashville is being handled by Mrs. Hilda Baas, and the Masonic Lodge is planning on a "capsule" containing pertinent facts about "peo­ ple and things" to be buried during the celebration tor posterity. Kenneth Fry of Potterville was present at Wednes­ day night's meeting and gave some very helpfulsuggestions in promoting the Centennial. The Centennial Committee also has on handsome derbies, old-fashioned sleeve bands for the men, and some round garters for the women, and they _ will be getting in many more articles for everyone in the community to wear to publicize Nashville's Centennial. 71 carry BROWN । Our kind t of guy!

Adv. �Civil War History A PARTIAL HISTORY OF THE NINETY MEN WHO SERVED IN THE CIVIL WAR 1861-1865 WHO WERE LIVING IN VERMONTVILLE PRIOR TO THE WAR Compiled and read by Ray Anderson June 20th, 1968 at a meeting of the Vermontville Historical Society. Vermontville had over 90 soldiers in the war, and only two of these were drafted. The township raised over $13, 000. 00 for war purposes exclusive of war taxes. The town furnished 6 doctors and one preach­ er. Three soldiers were killed in battle, 15 died of disease, and a number maimed and wounded. It is difficult to separate the direct descendants of the original colonists from others who had moved to Vermontville and enlisted from here, but I will try. I find records on 17 descendents from the original colonists and 33 others. These men were scattered among many different outfits, the history of which is as follows: The Fourth Michigan Infantry contained only one Vermontville man, Surgeon Joseph B. Griswold, a descendant of the Griswold family who was a part of the original colony. I think he ended up in Grand Rapids in practice. He entered service November, 1864, and muster­ ed out May 1866. The Regiment was organized i n South Eastern Michigan June, 1861, and participa­ ted in practically afl of the engagements, both large and small, of the Army of the Potomac, a wonderful record, and here it is: Bull Run, July, 1861, New Bridge, Va., Hanover Court House, Me­ chanicsville, Gaines Mills, Savage Station, Turkey Bend, White Oak Swamp, Malvern Hill, and Har­ rison's Landing, all in the summer of 1862. These engagements, except First Bull Run were part of Gen. McClellan's ill-fated Peninsular Campaign. Then followed Gainsville, Va. . Second Bull Run, Antietam, Md., Shepardstown Ford, Va., Snickers Gap, Va.', Fredericksburg, Va., Morrisonville,Va., also in 1862. In 1863 they fought at ChancellorsChancellonCulpepper, Va., and ville, Va., Gettysburg. Pa. Pa,, Cui Wilderness and of Spottsylvania, Va., and the seige of Petersburg, all in 18&4. This regiment was reor­ ganized July 1864, sent to Nashville, Tenn., then to Texas until May, 1866 when it was returned to Michigan and mustered out of service June 1866. The Sixth Michigan Infantry seems to have had a ter of 1861-62 when early in to New Orleans, where it was eats to enter the city upon its ler and Admiral Farragut, h next proceeded to Baton Rouge where it participatedJn the battles of June 5th and August 5th, losing in the last engagement 53 men, among wham was ~ ■ - -1 jou Qf Locy Dwight, who lived Edw.

Mr. Earl Mc­ Kibben, Mr. Ed. Wietnik and Mr. Somon Miachele explained what the Fair Association was up against in improving buildings; parking and general facil­ ities. Many people were enlightened by facts little known before now due mainly to lack of interest and communication. After much discussion and some suggestions it was thought the best thing to come from this meeting would be a committee to work with the Fair Board. In line with this the Young Farmers are to choose a committee and the 4-H Council also are to se­ lect a committee to work together with the F a ir Board on suggestions offered. The Fair Board was much impressed with the in­ terest and enthusiasm shown and felt this certainly was a step in the right direction for a much i m proved situation for the future Barry County fairs.

Flying across the state, Padget is participating in a nationwide pro­ gram of the United States Jaycees to bring "Young Men of Action" into the Jaycees. Stopping at twenty-six cities, from Houghton to Detroit, Padget is greeting each new member and personally initiating him into one of the country’s fastest growing young men's organizations. Thejaycees are dedicated to the betterment of their com­ munity and work at all levels of personal and gov­ ernmental involvement to further the aims of the city or town in which they live. From mental health programs to inner-city involvement, the Jaycees are working day and night to help their individual communities face the future. The Michigan Jaycees, over 12, 000 strong, have chapters in 260 communities throughout the state. Portions of their creed state: ”... Govemmentshould be of laws rather than of men.... and that service to humanity is the best work of life. ” Those new menioers added to the Maple Valley Jaycees were Rex Balch and Ron Rosin of Vermont­ ville, and Mike DeJune, John HartwelL Gary Nick­ eL Jerry Reese, Bill Semrau. Larry Snowden and Russell Weiler of Nashville. The pickup truck was headed north and the other car south, when they met, almost head on, at the crest of a hilL The accident was policed by Deputy Kenneth DeMott of the Barry County Sheriff's Depart­ ment who said the investigation could not be c o m pleted until he could talk to both drivers.

Well, it really isn't a picture of a back — it is a picture of the front of a back! What I mean is — the person in the picture is a Halfback. I know you will look and say that is all she needs but that is a no-no. What I am trying to tell you is that this skatback came jogging past our house the other day and dropped In for a cup of cider. This football player, who refused to identify herself, had pads in places where they weren't even needed. She insisted that none of the padding was really her -- they are all Spalding. The football player in the picture tried to go out for the team but failed the physical. Such is life! - By the time the paper comes out again, we will have a new president. They have not given us much of a choice this time around. The political power in both parties saw to it that things went their way and as a result, many of us feel we have no one to vote for. The best we can do is to vote against someone. That is — vote for a man just to keep the other two from getting the office. ' Perhaps out of this will come a nit of "Soul Searching" and maybe sometime in the future they wilf let the people choose the candidates through a primary vote. In the meantime, we can go out and vote for the lesser of three evils and even then, many of us will have a difficult choice. Someone said it is too bad they close the bars on this election day. If we ever needed a drink, it might be then! I really can't get too excited about the national election. The locals, though -r there is something you can sink your teeth into The Maple Valley Jaycees are taking donations from folks who want to contribute toward helping Raymond Barlond obtain an artificial foot. This is a worthy cause, and the JC's are always plugging ji worthy cause. A contribution might just help you, also. Someone is going to win some prizes. They hope to make enough money on this proj­ ect to set up a fund for future needs that might arise. * - RoUte#2 Nashville, Mich. Oct. 25, 1968 Last week's News featured two letters written in response to my previous letter stating that my stand on students was completely wrong. This summer I had the privilege of traveling to many Wallace ral­ lies throughout several states. I had many confrontations and discussions with student hecklers and all tried to impress me with their advanced education and their democratic val­ ues. But when Mr. Wallace was speaking, their ed­ ucation seemed to fall by the wayside and so did their democratic values--such as free speech and the right to be heard. I am sure Susan Hansen will concede to this, since she was in Lansing when Wal­ lace spoke there. AU the hecklers I spoke to professed to be univer­ sity of college students. I received the distinct im­ pression that they were afraid to let any candidate speak, and this heckling was the only way they could silence it. J. Edgar Hoover said on February 1, 1967, " T o day the communist conspiracy is reaping large div­ idends from its persistent efforts to gain a toehold on college and university campuses and from its dogged determination to disrupt, through mass agi­ tation, the orderly processes of our educational and poUtical systems, " If the FBI is concerned about student agitation, I believe aU responsible citizens should be. " The students say "teU it as it is" but when Wal­ lace speaks the truth, they seem to be afraid to hear it or even let anyone else hear. They talk and heckle a lot, but have few realistic suggestions on how to settle the problems facing this nation today. At the Wallace Rally in Flint, while the Nation­ al Anthem was played and the American flag rais­ ed, did they shut up? No, they hollered and yelled and actually cursed the flag. If this is the "New .-breed of American" I much prefer the Old American breed, the ones with re­ spect for their county, flag, fellowmen and them­ selves. Yours truly, Douglas Ayles 73 Billings Road N. Quincy, Mass. Oct. 24, 1968 "AS I SEE IT” written by Paul P. Chien a weekly syndicated column distributed by the Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency fThr VFe Pagg The Buck The generation gap has been indicated by the many campus riots, the Chicago demonstrations, and other indications. They indicate that there is dis­ satisfaction in our society. To many of us in our for­ ties, it is easy to shrug our shoulders and to pass the buck on communist conspiracy. It is no different than at divorce courts where one usually hears," It's all my wife or husband's fault. " It is more shocking for us to compare our own domestic situation in Eastern Europe with Czechoslavakia. Russia's argu­ ment is almost identical. The Czechoslavakain and Rumanian unrest have all come from the Western imperialists and CIA activities. It is my firm belief only the ignorant individual will put all the blame or the other side. Because if we are intelligent enough, we shall examine our own fault from time to time in such matters as gov­ ernmental corruption, the suppression and manage­ ment of news media, the manipulations of political powers, the misappropriation of funds in our educa­ tion institutions.

I think maybe it is time for us to take a look at ourselves before we criticize the younger generation. Some of us had dreams, some of us were pure;some of us still strive for the decency and compassion. It is undeniable we have many internal decays in our society which may be stimulated by the communis­ tic conspirators. However, our internal decay may add more ammunitions to the enemies. In order for us to preserve our freedom and liberty, I think we have to eliminate the corruption in our government, and abuse of power, and most of aU, the society needs decency and compassion towards all human beings.

Dear Sir: As an alumni of Maple Valley High School I still take an interest in the activities of the school and town and read the Maple Valley News every week to find out the latest happenings. I recently became aware of a situation at the Maple Valley Homecoming football game which maxes me wonder what has become of good ole MVHS. I would like to know the reasons behind the fact that the winning floats were the only ones allowed to circle the football field. I was raised to believe that it wasn'vwho won, but how the game was played that was important and now suddenly it becomes mandatory to r e ceive first or second place to be recognized. Did anyone stop to think of how much time goes into a float? I speak from personal experience when I say that many, many long bouts of hard work and money go into making float presentation. Didn't anyone think of the pride the "losers" have in just seeing their float go by and being able to say, as I used to, "See my float down there.. I don't care what the judges day, I still think my float is the best." If I was a member of the "losing squad, " I would never build another float or work on any project for the school or town. (And, as those of you know who knew me while I was in high school, I was nev­ er lacking in scbool spirit or gumption.) If the town can't arrange enough time to look at my work, I certainly can't take the time to prepare something only to nave it set in the parking lot. Nationwide television finds time to present floats in the Rose Bowl parade and yet Maple Valley can't. What I want to know is Why? I'll admit these floats aren't made of roses, but the efforts behind them and the time and fellowship of the students making them make them "as of gold. ’ For any school or any team effort to succeed they need teamwork and confidence from all sides. Al­ though not everyone can be a football player or a cheerleader, there ate many ways for students to show their pride in their team and school and town. For Instance, they build a float and are proud as peacocks waiting to circle the field and display their "work of an" only to find out that this effort isn't appreciated enough to warrant recognition.. and why.. because they didn't place innthe compe­ tition. .. is this even a reason? If the officials felt that the band presentation or crowning of the queen should take the place of the parade of floats at half time, then I fail to see the reason why the pre-game warm-up period for the teams cannot be utilized for this purpose. I hope that next year the officials reverse their decision of this year or at least let the students know beforehand that their work won't be appreci­ ated and above all let the general public know the reasons behind this definite smothering of school spirit, Sincerely, Jo Anne Parsons Jo Anne (Long) President of the Class of 1964 The Maple Valley News.

SHERIFF. When Mrs. Russell D. Booher planted her garden last spring she hardly thought she'd be reaping this kind of harvest—a potato which weighed six pounds, and surely would be "more than a meal" for even the largest of families. Made up of 11 potatoes—four large and nicely formed ones—and several smaller ones, she could scarcely believe her eyes when she dug about ten bushels recently. She found one other " multiple" one, but it didn't even come close to this monstrosity. Mrs. Booher nas been raising a garden "for as far back as I can remember" ana she also raises some genuine Indian com and many, many gourds. Mr. and Mrs. Booher have been residing on their farm north of Vermontville the past ten yean, and have always lived in the Woodland, Sunfield and Vermontville area. She is a member of the Ver­ montville Woman's Club, the United Methodist Church and is active in the Woman's Society of Christian Service. Mr. Booher is employed at the Sunfield Elevator. The Boohen have three sons, Ver­ non of Lake Odessa, Kerwin who resides on M-79 south of Vermontville and Durwood of St. Mary's Lake, and five grandchildren.

Its activities were confined mostly up and down the Mississippi River, engaging in nine battles and skirmishes in­ cluding the siege and capture of Vicksburg under Gen. Grant, So you see this regiment took part in two major engagements of the war. This regiment contained seven from Vermont­ ville, including two surgeons namely: Robert. C. Kedzie Jan. ,1862 to October 1862, and Almon A. Thompson, September 1862, mustered out Aug­ ust, 1865. Elisha Wiard of Co. G. died at Pitts­ burg Landing (Shiloh) andSanil J, Cazier discharg­ ed September, 1862. He was the preacher mention­ ed earlier, and it was his wife, later Mrs. Williams who painted the two pictures that hung in the Con­ gregational Church for so many years. Also Curtis H. Chappell, discharged September 1862, Chas. S. De mono discharged to re-enlist as a veteran De­ cember, 1863, and Soloman Wiard discharged Oc­ tober, 1862. locals Mrs. Eliza Emery entertained at her home Sun­ day, October 27 with a birthday dinner for her son Wesley, also for Wesley McVay of Lake Odessa, whose birthday was celebrated. Those present were Mr, and Mrs. Howard McVay their daughter, Cathy and Lois, and their son, Wes­ ley of Lake Odessa, Mrs. Bernice Scheldt of Lake Odessa and Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Emery of Hastings. In the evening Eliza accompanied Wdsley ana Jo Ann over to Lansing to the Civic Auditorium to die Grand Old Opra. The Thirteenth Michigan Infantry was organized in Kalamazoo late 1861 and early 1862, when it also left for the Tennessee and engaged in the bat­ tle of Shiloh at Pittsburg Lanc ing April 1862. In­ cluded in the 26 engagements that this regiment participated in was the above mentioned battle of Shilo under Gen. Grant, the battles around Mur­ freesboro including Stone's River under Rosecrans, and the battles around Chattanooga, namely Chicamauga; Mission Ridge, and Lookout Mountain. In February, 1864 they were furloughed to Michi­ gan for 30 days. Upon returning to service they joined Sherman at Kingston, Ga. and remained with him throughout the Atlanta Campaign and the famous march to the sea. The regiment was returned to Jackson, Michigan in July, 1865 and disbanded. The regiment contained five Vermontville men including Frederick A. Church, son of Deacon S. S. Church, one of the original colonists, who died near Mooresville, Alabama, July 13th, 1862. The other Vermontville men were John R. Scott killed at. Stone's River, Tenn., December 31, 1862, Pandora A. Sprague, discharged for disability February, 1863 Cephus Smith mustered out July, 1865 and John Mc­ Carty who re-enlisted February, 1864, mustered out 1866. The Second Michigan Cavalry was organized in Grand Rapids November 1861, leaving immediately for St. Louis, Mo., where it remained until March, 1862 when it was assigned to Gen. Pope's command. It was just shortly after, that Capt. Phil Sheridan was promoted to CoL and assigned to this outfit. Incidentally, Gen'l Sheridan's horse " Rienza" was foaled at or near Grand Rapids and was brought into the Federal Army by an officer of this, the Second Michigan Cavalry, and was presented to Gen. Sher­ idan at Rienza, Mississippi, and remain "Winchest­ er” after the town made famous by Sheridan's ride up the Shenandoah Valley. It was with the Army of the Cumberland that it saw most of its action in Middle and Eastern Tennessee. They participated in engagements around Nashville, Murfreesboro, Chat­ tanooga, Shelbyville, Columbia, Pulaski, all in Tennessee and Florence, Alabama. In March, 1864 most of the regiment re-inlisted and returned to Michigan for a thirty-day furlough. Upon its return they joined Gen. Sherman's Army then concentrat- Attends three-day conference Mrs. Hilda Baas and Mrs. Amy Bower of Hastings, vice president of the Barty County Historical So­ ciety, attended the 94th conference of the Histori­ cal Society of Michigan and it also was the first combined annual meeting of the Michigan Museums Conference and the Historical Society of Michigan October 17, 18 and 19 at Kalamazoo. On Thursday the meeting were held in the Kala­ mazoo Public Library and Museum building with a delicious luncheon at the YWCA. An interesting talk was given by Charles R. Hoskins, Director Mon­ ey Museum, National Bank of Detroit. They have a trailer money museum that visits schools ofDetroit. After the afternoon meeting, they enjoyed an in­ teresting tour of the museum. They are building an Egyptian Tomb in which they will place a mummy which is displayed in a case. The artist is painting scenes on the wall typical of Egyptian scenes which were explained. Dinner Thursday night and the remainder of the meetings were held at Western at the Waldo Library and Student Center. Rt. Rev. Msgr. Hugh M. Beahan. Director of Radio and Television, Grand Rap­ ids' Diocese gave a very interesting talk leaving the thought that it is most important to have the ability to be concerned about other people. He also gave the thought, " If you volunteer for a church job, carry a glass of water to revive the one you're ask­ ing for the job." Friday morning Don Altemui, Curator of Exhibits at Kingman Natural History Museum, Battle Creek, spoke on "Things you might have and what to do with them. " He mentioned to never down grade anyone's private collection, never turn them down, always look at them. Mr. Harvey Venteeg, Cura­ tor at the Charlton Park Museum had already invit­ ed people to stop at the museum on their way home ana see the many things that are at the museum. Also he mentioned the fact that the museum would like to trade or sell the surplus of some items they have in order to get other things they need at the museum. Mr. Altemus mentioned that he had seen the priceless collection to end all collections at Charlton Park Museum, but if only Mr. Charlton would have written down the information and stories about these articles which he had catalogued in his mind. A tour through the Archives and Regional Collec­ tion of Western Michigan University'was greatly enjoyed. These materials have been moved to new rooms in die Waldo Library. The Archivist Wayne C. Mann is attempting to get the materials filed on shelves, in cabinets and in drawers as fast as he can, but all filing problems haven't been solved yet. A mon interesting late afternoon tour was at the Octogon House on South Westnedge owned by Mb. James S. Gilmore who graciously welcomed the guests. It was built in 1855 and is used as a guest house today. Punch was served. Friday evening was the annual banquet. Richard C. Frank, president, presided. The welcome was given by Dr. James W. Miller, president of Western. The Vanity Vagabonds consisting of 8 students of WMU directed by Dr. Elwyn Carter very pleasingly sang and played. In November they leave for some USO programs in the Pacific. The annual Clarence M. Burton Memorial Lecture was given by Mrs. Har­ riet Arnow, author of several prize winning books. One of her books, "The Dollmaker" is about early Michigan. Mrs. Arnow was bom in Kentucky but af­ ter marrying moved to Michigan and bought a 40 acre farm at that time near Ann Arbor. She most in­ terestingly told about parts of her life from when as a child sitting on a horse hair sofa which wasn't too comfortable on her skin to modem times with the building of roads and enlarging cities causing the wildlife to leave their habitats on the Arnow farm. Her interesting manner of telling and word usage helped to easily visualize the farm, wild animals and birds who lived in the woods and swamps. On Saturday William A. Murtagh. Keeper of the National Register, Office of Archeology and Histor­ ic Preservation, National Park Service Department of the Interior very interestingly told about the im­ portance of these preservations. The one draw-back has been lack of funds. Out of around 1000 entries in US, only 6 are in Michigan; Fort Michilimackinac, St. Mary's Fall Canal, Mackinac Island, St. Ignace Mission, Henry Ford Estate, Fairlane, and Nor­ ton Mound Group 2 miles south of Grand Rapids on Indian Mound Drive. . The annual business meeting was held at the Sat­ urday noon luncheon. In the afternoon a trip to the Kalamazoo Nature Center on North Westneoge Ave­ nue was enjoyed by a few. This is privately owned and is maintained by endowments, annual member­ ships and admissions. At the Interpretive Center the group was told the Center Program is designed as Re­ search, Education, and Conservation. It is a 400 a­ cre tract of land $750, 000 Intrepretive Center and a well trained and experienced staff. The Center houses Sun-Rain Room with 100 tons of boulders, many tropical plants (saw a banana tree with a bunch 'of bananas) museum displays on Michigan wildlife, geology, land and water use. Natural History Sales Shop, classrooms, state headquarters of the Michigan Audubon Society, Observation Bridge and Panoramic Glen Vista. There are nature trails, 100 acres are being operated as a demonstration farm, including typical farm animals and raising such crops as wheat, com, sunflower seed, millet, buckwheat and soy­ beans. Soil, water and wildlife conservation practices are demonstrated, 200 acres are devoted to research pro­ jects, soil and water conservation, experimentation, wild flower and fern garden, sugar bush. etc. Exhib­ its in the basement were very interesting. They had just had Fall Harvest Show. Before Christmas they exhibit Christmas trees around the world decorated by students at Western from these countries. In the spring they exhibit baby animals which the children can cuddle. The animals are changed every hour so that no animal will become too tired or hurt. This was a most interesting place to visit. Children sure­ ly enjoy the Nature Center. These are some of the most interesting things that Mrs. Baas and Ms. Bower say and heard. It was a very interesting and educational three days. ing near Chattanooga, for the Atlanta Campaign. Eventually it ended up in the Macon, Georgia area, with detachments at Perry, Barnsville, Forsythe, Milledgesville and Thomaston, Georgia. Vermont­ ville had 13 men in this outfit, seven of whom were direct descendants of original colonists as follows: Marshall Dickinson, September 1861 to August.1865, Isaac Griswold, October 1864 to August 1865, El­ bridge Fairfield died at St. Louis,- Mo., June 28,1862 Duane Hawkins mustered out June 1865, John Squier discharge October 1864, Willard H. Dickinson dis­ charged for disability June 1862, and Martin Luther Squier September 1861 to August 1865. He was twice personally complimented by Gen. Sheridan. Capt. Squier was assigned to dity as quartermaster at Ma­ con, Georgia, there to close out all government supplies within the military department of Georgia. The other Vermontville men in this outfit were Da­ vid Young, discharged for disability August 1862, Willis R. Rogers, re-enlisted and was killed at Ox­ ford, Tennessee, April, 1864; Edward McIntyre mus­ tered out August 1865, Delos French died at Frank­ lin, Tennessee, August 1864, Daniel Hobbes, 1861 to August 1865, and George W. Towne who was a substitute for Henry J. Martin who was a son of Wells R. Martin, an original colonist, mustered out June 1865. The outfit itself was returned to Michigan Au­ gust 1865 and mustered out of service. The Third Michigan Cavalry was also organized in Grand Rapids July, 1861 and had about the same military service and record as the proceeding Sec­ ond Michigan Cavalry. There was one Vermontville man with this outfit, namely Albert Thompson, Sur­ geon serving from March 1864 to February 1866. The outfit was mustered out of service February 1866. Now comes the Fourth Michigan Cavalry, which really had a record. It contained two Vermontville men, Jerome B. Scovell, an original colonist, des­ cendant, and Chas. F. Fuller who came to Vermont­ ville after the war was over. However, we must mention his for he was one of the lucky ones who lived through imprisonment in the infamous Ander­ sonville prison, where thousands more unfortunate died. This outfit was organized in Detroit, July 1862 and mustered out of service July, 1865, but in between those dates listen to this: This Cavalry par­ ticipated in 92 engagements, both minor and major, including Stone's River at Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Chicamauga, Chattanooga and Mission Ridge. But this isn't all: They captured Jefferson Davis at Irwinsville, George. May 11, 1865. Mr. Scovell was discharged by order May 1865. Mr. Fuller was, of course released from prison at the end of the war. The outfit as a whole was mustered out of service at Nashville, Tennessee, and returned to Detroit arriving July, 1865. There was one soldier, George Davis, son of Wil­ lard Davis, one of the original colonists, who serv­ ed in the war, but as yet 1 am unable to locate his record of service. This just about takes care of the veterans who were livmg in Vermontville before the war. There may be others that we can locate later. However, there was a little item in Mr. C. A. Hallenbeck’s diary that leads me to believe that the Civil War soldiers had to pay for their own uniforms, clothing and shoes. This hardly seems fair. After the war other veterans moved to the village and surrounding area and were very active in the af­ fairs of the community, both as business men and farmers. They organized a post of the GAR, mean­ ing The Grand Army of the Republic, and named it after Edw. P. Dwight, who was killed in the battle of Baton Rouge. The GAR Post had a membership of some 60 or 70 members. We mustn’t forget Mrs. Clara Squier Vaughn, a daughter of Wait Squier, one of the original colonists, who contributed mon­ ey to help build the GAR hall, as a memorial to all soldiers and sailors, which is. the second story of the bank building, now being under the control of the American Legion. Just so we don't forget, let's just summarize:Vermontville had over 90 men in the war, three were killed, 15 -died of disease, and a number were maimed and wounded. Those were patriotic men.

Some ideas gained from the magazine were—the largest problem fac­ ing us is the problem of human destiny. How can America best serve the ends of man? The test of a democracy is measured by the con­ fidence of the government in the people. Food, peace and freedom are the big challanges. War is an invention of the human wifi. The hu­ man will can invent peace. The above are quotes from Norman Cousins. Fourth hour American government class and both World geography classes celebrated the United Na­ tions 23rd birthday by viewing colored slides of the UN and singing, "Little Songs on Big Subjects.

Village president Harold Christiansen asked for a secret ballot, which resulted in five members vot- • ing "no" and the sixth member abstained. The action resulted from Mr. Green's request that his property be rezoned to commercial so that he might dispose of a building there to be used as an automobile paint and body shop. Some 28 persons in the area had petitioned the council to continue the property as residential. The building in ques­ tion had previously been commercial, but at the time the zoning ordinance went into effect last January, the structure was not occupied. James Erwin who owns six lots, on South Main Street asked that the first three, starting from . Quaker Creek and continuing south, be rezoned residential and agriculture instead of residential. Because of water and sewer lines running across the lots he cannot keep them mowed, and they are of no value for building purposes. The council set the date for the hearing as November 14, the next reg­ ular council night, and action will be taken at a later date. The council voted to pay the $60 costs for survey­ ing the Kenneth Mix property on Middle Street ano approximately $128 for a five-foot fence to be e­ rected between the Youth building and the Mix property. It was found the Youth Building was con­ structed over on-the Mix property. This occurred many years ago. James Erwin, superintendent of the street depart­ ment, gave a detailed report of_his activities for Perry (Pete) Larson the past summer which included storm sewer lines, a seal coat on Queen and Middle Streets and black­ top on Reed Street. Other work included installing three new hydrants two sewer hookups and general maintenance work which totalled approximately $21, 000. The work had previously been approved in this year's budget. Erwin also stated he has been awarded a scholar­ ship for a seminar on management provided by the American Water Works Commission of Connecti­ cut. The scholarship was made available through the Udiversity of Michigan. The seminar will take place early next year and Erwin would like to at­ tend. The council will take action on the matter at a future meeting. For the present, at least, the garbage pickup will remain' as it is, and the patrons will not have to place their garbage at the curb. At the council meeting two weeks ago Ed. Baker, owner of the Charlotte Sanitation company, asked that this change be made. Meanwhile Christiansen, and some of the council members have been contacted by a number of older persons who felt this would prove a real hardship to them. Paying the bills and other items were routine. New dump hours Starting November 1st, there will be a change in the dump hours for the village. The dump will be open from 4:00 to 6:00 pm on Wednesday and from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm on Satur­ days. KNOW YOUR MICHIGAN LAW Electoral College explained By Attorney General Frank J. Kelley ‘ (This is a public service article explaining in gen­ eral terms a provision of Michigan law. Individuals who wish to determine the effect of any law upon their private legal affairs should consult a private attorney). In this election year the electoral college is hav­ ing trouble with its students and that makes it simi­ lar to a lot of other American colleges. But trouble is about the only similarity. Many stu­ dents of the electoral college—United States sena­ tors and representatives--want to do away with it al­ together. This attitude makes them pretty radical even when compared to other student leaders. What is this electoral college anyway? How does it work and why do many national leaders want to abolish it? The framers of the United States Constitution es­ tablished the electoral college as a method of indir­ ectly electing the president. As originally conceived by them, voters in every state would not vote for President or Vice President at all. Rather, they would vote for a group of persons—known as a college—e­ qual to the total number of senators and representa­ tives that state sent to Washington. The method by which these electors are to be elected is solely a matter of state statute. In Michigan an individual's vote for President is really a vote for a list of elec­ tors certified to the Secretary of State by the candi­ date's state party organization. Orginally, these presidential electors were not to be voted for on the basis of party affiliation, but because they had a reputation for honesty and good judgment. If a state had eight representatives and two sena­ tors, for example, it then had 10 electoral votes (Michigan has 21) and so would elect 10 presiden tial electors. The 10 candidates receiving the high­ est number of votes would be elected. They would then meet in the state capitol on the appointed day in December and debate the qualifications of var­ ious persons' they felt would make a good Presi­ dent or Vice President. Each elector then cast his vote for two persons--one for President, the other for Vice President. A list was prepared showing the number of votes each candidate received and whether it was for President or Vice President. The list was sealed and sent to the President of the'Senate in Washington. The President of the Senate is the incumbent Vice President of the UniJed States, The President of the Senate would examine the lists from all the states at the same time, and count the votes. This remains unchanged today. The candidate with the majority of all the elector­ al votes is elected President, and the person with the majority of electoral votes for the office of Vice President is elected Vice President. In case of a failure of any one candidate to achieve a major­ ity of electoral votes for either office the House of Representatives elects a President from the three candidates receiving the highest number of votes. If the election was thrown into the House, each state has only one vote, and a candidate needs a majority—26--to win. Thus, all the newly-elected or recently-elected representatives from each state vote for a candidate among themselves. When they decide on a candidate, their state casts one vote for him. The Senate elects the Vice President on a similar basis, except that they only consider the top two vote-getters, and each Senator casts one vote instead of each state. The rise of the two-party system in America greatly undermined the working of the electoral college. The political parties began nominating entire slates of electors who ran as a group. If they received the most votes they would all become the presidential electors of that state and would cast their votes for their party's nominees for President and Vice President. So the presidential electors now are party representatives who merely put the official stamp of approval on the two men who re­ ceive the majority popular vote in the state. Thus the original reason for the electoral college has disappeared. The voters in a particular state now determine who they want to run the nation. Many critics of the electoral college consider popu­ lar election of the President and Vice President pre­ ferable today to the original system of indirect e­ lection. . Since the original intent of the electoral college system has disappeared through practice and princi­ ple this should be sufficient reason for an abolition of the system. However, other reasons exist as well, according to the critics of the electoral college: 1. A third-party candidate who receives a suffi­ cient number of electoral votes to deny either of the main party candidates a majority can throw the election into the House of Representatives. Since each state now casts all of its electoral votqs for only one presidential ticket, throwing the election into the House is easier under the electoral col­ lege system than it would be if a presidential can­ didate only bad to receive a certain percentage of the popular vote. 2. The electoral college system as now practiced imposes a type of ” unit rule” on the states In which if a certain candidate receives the majority of the popular vote he receives all of the electoral votes. This effectively deprives those who did not vote for the majority candidate of a voice in the ultimate election of the President. 3. By carrying states with a large electoral vote by a slim majority while his opponent carries small­ er states by a wide majority, a candidate could be elected President even though he receives less of thfe popular vote than his opponent. 4. Once tire election reaches tire House of Repre­ sentatives each state participates equally in the e­ lective process regardless of population. The votes of Delaware and Nevada have the same weight as the votes of California or New York. Such a pro­ cedure is incompatible with the now-accepted prin­ ciple of repsesentation according to population. 5. The presidential electors, even though today nominated and elected on the basis of party affili­ ation, are in no way bound to vote for the candidate who represents their party., This can become a fac­ tor in states in which a third-party candidate is very popular. Electors who nominally represent one parry and are elected with the understanding that they wfil vote for that party's candidate may bolt the party and vote for the third-party candidate, thus disre­ garding the purpose for which they were elected. Many proposals have been advanced to replace the electoral college system. Those that appear to have the greatest chance of success say the election -•( the President should be based on winning the grtatest popular vote above a certain minimum per­ centage of the total vote cast.

The person pictured is Roma White and the dress-up occasion was a Hal­ loween party for a Tuesday afternoon bridge club. rather unusual season. These are probably the last home grown strawberries we will have this year and we realized this as we ate our shortcake. Really, it was even better than it is in the spring. A move is taking place. Supermarket Jewelers, owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. Vic Higdon, is now in the process of moving to a new location. They will have their shop in the building formerly occupied by the Beedle Insurance Agency on Main Street. Help in the move and getting the place read­ y for business is being given by Bruce and Vance Hig­ don. Vic Higdon is a patient at the Veteran's Hospital, Ann Arbor, but appears to be progressing welt The move to the new location should be all accomplish­ ed before Vic returns home. ' Mrs. Baas who is working on the historical aspect of the centennial, and Mrs. Priddy, who is in charge of the centennial plate, have asked for old photographs that the committe could use. Ray No­ Dan came to the fore there too.- He brought in a bunch of them which will be of great help to the committee. Anyone else who has pictures which might be of interest can bring them into the News office or can contact either of these two ladies. Ray Noban came in the other day with the gift of a quart of his ever-bearing strawberries. He nad picked them just an hour or so before in his yard. I always thought strawberries were an early spring item. Ray admitted that it is real unusual to have them so late in the season, but then this has been a OtOOOOM , The politicians have done more to make people mad than anything else when they took all the time Monday night for their campaigning. Maybe the smart one would have allowed the Laugh-In to go on the air as his commercial. Rather than tell­ ing all of that guff about what they will do if they get in the White House, just putting on a regular show with the commercials taken up with a'vote for me" message might be good. By the time you read this it will be all over and we will have a new President and then we can all go back to our regular shows and the football game. ”AS I SEE IT” This week is the last week for Jo Woudstra to work with us at the News office. She and Woody are off on a new venture and we wish them much success, but we will surely miss her around our place. She has been with us for so many years, she's like a part of us and of the News office. Still have some familiar faces left here, but we'll all miss Jo. written by Paul P. Chien a weekly syndicated column distributed by the Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency Why PhD’s? Recently I visited the East Lansing School District and entered into discussion with several veteran ed­ ucators. Many of them were rather discouraged for they had been bypassed in promotions in becoming a junior high school principal because of a lack of earned PhD degree. As they pointed out, the major­ ity of our community college presidents are not Ph­ Ds. At the present time, two of our three large state supported universities have no earned PhD, The Un­ iversity of Michigan president has an earned law de­ gree and President Hannah of Michigan State Univer­ sity has an earned Bachelor degree. Both of them have achieved administrative competency in higher education and possess not only national prominence but also international prominence as leaders of edu­ cation. In East Lansing School Districts the other so-call­ ed rich school districts, however, they now require the earned PhD to be a junior high school principal. Many kindergartens require PhDs to teach gifted children for special educational purposes. I am sure it is the same in industry with founders of large in­ dustries such as Henry Ford, Alfred Sloan, and to­ day's giants like Jim Roche. Some may have a bach­ elor degree while some may not have even entered the college door. Many college professors try to use the degree to hide their incompetencies. The em­ ployment requirements that have such heavy empha­ sis in degree really show a contemporous attitude to our industrial founders and even disrespect to pre­ sent top executives because they are lacking in de­ gree. I feel very strongly that creativeness in writing, in teaching, in science, and in engineering need not be limited to degrees only. We need professions with dedication and ability. The artists and true scientists find little interest in going through the routine. During this critical period, we shall not discourage individuals with ability and courage in order to strive forward. It is my humble opinion teachers deserve respect. Good teachers deserve merit rating. It is especially totally unacceptable for us to insist on only an earn­ ed doctorate as requirement for a junior high prin­ cipal while we overlook the college presidents with their academic degrees. It is not totally different when we can elect a great president as Abe Lincoln from his humble background to be a national lead­ er instead of appointing a blue-blooded prince from a British Island to be our ruler.

A PROCLAMATION HEREAS, The quality of life in our nation’s future will be determined largely by the direction given to and the character developed by today's youth; and JhEREAS, Our nation’s schools play a paramount role in defining that direction Jand shaping that character by endeavoring to— • Offer pupils the opportunity to learn and practice society's values, direct intel­ lectual development toward recognizing, making, and evaluating choices, and consider the curriculum in terms of its total impact on the value development of children; • Recognize the needs of a complex society, view education in terms of national goals, encourage international understanding, and foster divergent and creative thinking as a means of improving society; • Encourage the teaching of children as individuals aud employ only teachers with the preparation and personal qualities necessary for effective teaching; • Offer each child a meaningful education suited to his individual needs regardless of the child’s ability level, geographic location, or socioeconomic status; • Stimulate continuing inquiry, with emphasis placed on the value of learning for its own rewards, and provide opportunities for a broad general education; • Contribute to economic progress by providing early and realistic career counsel­ ing, educating all students to the full extent of their abilities, and maintaining a vocational educational program of the highest quality; • Enhance the human quality of students by helping them discover and develop their abilities and live contentedly within their limits, advocate constructive at­ titudes toward leisure interests, and encourage both adaptability to change and action to direct change in ways beneficial to humanity; and HEREAS, In the achievement of these endeavors lies the happiness and well-being of the individual as well as that of society as a whole; and NATIONAl NEWSPAPER |ACQT HEREAS, One of the primary duties of an enlightened citizenry must, therefore, be knowledge of. interest in, and responsibility for the quality of our schools, MAPLE VALLEY NEWS NASHVILLE NEWS & VERMONTVILLE ECHO NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publications, Inc.

VOGT Dear friends, STEVEN GRAHAM I am very happy and proud to teceive this great honor as Maple Valley Jaycee of the Month and I would like to thank my parents for letting me attend so many of the interesting meetings within the JC organization. I have lived in Nashville as a single young man for the past twenty-one years of my life. I was graduated from the Maple valley HighSchool in 1966 and then attended Fems State College for a year. The following year I spent attending Battle — Creek Community College.. This past July I inlisted in the United States Navy. Currently I am working for Backe Construction Company out of Hastings while waiting to leave for my Navy basic training. I will leave for active duty on November 6th of this year to attend basic training at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station in Chi­ cago, HL After finishing my four years in the Navy I plan on finishing my college education. The present-day funeral has evolved through the' years from man's instinctive desire to pay tribute to the life of a deceased person, and man's belief in a spiritual life hereaf ter. It reflects our folk­ ways and social customs, and our civic and health rules. The modern funeral symbolizes man's ideals, his hopes, his religious beliefs. Respectfully, 'Voqt FUNERAL HOMES for this honor and hope that our organization contin­ ues to do a good job of helping better the two c o m munities and the surrounding area._________________ PHONE 011.2412 ar Here are the FINEST at LOWEST PRICES!

He talked to the 5th hour World (Geography class and told them to be careful and not change'the world too much. Congressman Brown spent about 15 minutes with the seniors in the auditorium. He talked to them about Congress and how he became a Representative. Then he answered questions from the group. Congressman Brown said he would like to leturn after election and spend an hour with our students. To our knowledge, this is the first Congressman to visit us since John Ketcham from Hastings visited Nashville High School many years ago. I believe he was a graduate of NHS. We enjoyed a long letter from Harold Degner, an ex-grad, who is in Thailand in the Air Force. We also had a letter from David Stairs who is in the Me­ kong Delta, south of Saigon. Bill Eastman fell in a mortar shell hole and broke his arm. He has or will be sent to the Philippines and Guam so his arm will ■ heal. Visitors to B5 have been David Ramsey, a student at Kellogg Community College. Gary Hampton dropped tn to say he is now with FM radio, Hastings station. Rex Toad announced to us that he is joining the armed services. Larry Schance, LCC, has been elected president of the college Future Teachers group. His assigned duty is to work with one near-by school in helping them set up a Cadet teaching proj­ ect.

FUTURE TEACHERS OF MAPLE VALLEY Once upon a time, not so long ago, a student went to school and learned enough to last a lifetime. But nowadays, anyone who stops learning at any age is a dropout. So say the sponsors of American Education Week scheduled for observance by Maple Valley Schools November 10-16. This is tne annual visit-theschools week in which more than 30 million parents participate. Most teachers nowadays, according to Mr. Hous­ ler, try to teach youngsters techniques for learning, rather than just facts, since the facts the student learns today may be obsolete 10 years from now. Thousands of young adults have already realized this. Each year about 25 million of them go into a­ dult education activities, mostly of a vocational or recreational nature. • By and large these adult students are already well educated. Statistics show that a college-educated executive, housewife, or professional person with a family income of more than $7, 000 a year is six times more likely to be in an adult education pro­ gram than is a grade-school-educated, blue-collar worker with an annual income of $4, 000. Statistics like these show a need for schools to instill in those least likely to go to college a love of lifelong learning, as they are the ones who probably could profit most from formal adult courses in later years. Th: theme of American Education Week this year is: "America Has a Good Thing Going--Its Schools. " Sponsored annually by the National Education Asso­ ciation, The American Legion, the National Contress of Parents and Teachers, and the US Office of ducation, AEW will emphasize each day of the week specific contributions the school makes to so­ ciety: Sunday, November 10: "Stimulate Moral and Spiritual Values;" Monday, November 11; "Strength­ en the Nation;" Tuesday, November 12: "Aspire to Quality Teaching;" Wednesday, November 13: "Pro­ vide Equal Opportunity;" Thursday, Novembbr 14: "Foster Lifelong Learning;" Friday, November 15; "Promote Economic Prosperity;" and Saturday, No­ vember 16: "Strive for Healthy Personality Develop­ ment. " FUTURE TEACHERS OF AMERICA The second meeting of the Future Teachers was held October 14. The trip to Western Michigan Uni­ versity on November 16 was discussed. Formal initiation was held and the following stu­ dents were initiated: Dave Smith, Bruce Hulbert, Durwood Stewart, Teresa Wells, Randy Shance, Steve Gaedert, Rick Spitzer and John Eastman. The guest speaker was Mr. William Owens, Michi­ gan Education Association student coordinator. Some excellent slides and discussion followed on theWashS' n Seminar and delegate assembly at St. Mary's The meeting was adjourned and refreshments were served. American Education Week, traditionally schedul­ ed for the week in which Veteran's Day falls, is an annual event designed to focus public attention on the needs and achievements of the nation’s schools. It serves to increase public understanding and a p preciation of the schools, to encourage parents to visit their children's schools at least once a year, to secure civic and community support for measures to improve the schools, and to help students gain a n appreciation of what the schools are doing for them. AEW was instituted in 1921 by the joint action of the American Legion and the National Education Association to enlist the public in eliminating the high proportion of illiteracy and poor physical fit­ ness prevalent among the American youth during World War L Many church leaders take a keen interest in AEW because of the mutual concern of school and church in children and youth. FHA SLUMBER PARTY It was a wild time Friday night for the girls who came to Sally Stewart's home. The occasion was the annual all-night, FHA Slumber Party. Getting in on the action were the following 17 FHAers: Marsha Ackett, Chris Brown, Lucy Bryan, Helene Cotton, Karen Decker, Jeri Hammond, Jeannt and Melissa Hansen, Anita Lingholm, Vickie Lundstrum, Gail Martin, Jackie Medcoff. Karen Nelson, Lois Pennock, Barb Snow, Sally Stewart and Phyllis Sylvester. Also being accused of enjoying themselves were Mrs. Harold Stewart and guitar-playing Mrs. William Hammond.

The program is co-sponsored ny the Michigan Jaycees with Central Soya and its Mas­ ter Mix feed dealers. , Bramer said that the winner of the state program would be entered in the National Outstanding Young Farmer Program to be held this year in St. PauL Minnesota. The national event, which each year honors four Outstanding Young Farmers from through­ out the nation, is held under the auspices of the US Jaycees and Central Soya. Over 250 Jaycee chapters throughout the state will be asked to select a local Outstanding Young Farmer for entry in the state competition. To be eligible, the farmer must be between 21 and 35 years of age and be an actual farm or ranch opera­ tor with a minimum of two-thirds of his income de­ rived therefrom. Entrants are selected on progress in their agricultural careers, soil and natural r e sources conservation practices and civic and social contributions to their community, state and nation. Local programs are expected to begin in the near future, with the deadline for entries to be submit­ ted to the Grand Haven Jaycees by January 10. "We're expecting a record number of entries for the state program this year, " Bramer commented. "A much stronger effort is being made to have more of our clubs select a local Outstanding Young Farm­ er. We, naturally, are hopeful that our state win­ ner will be one of the four chosen for national hon­ ors this year." Bramer said that he was also happy to welcome Central Soya and its Master Mix Dealers throughout Michigan as co-sponsors of the program this year. "We appreciate the concern shown farmers by Cen­ tral Soya, " Bramer said, " and are happy to have this agriculturally-oriented company on our team." Village Council receives objections to rezoning A petition objecting to the rezoning of the three lots owned by James Erwin on South Main Street from residential to residential-agricultural was read Thursday at the meeting of the Nashville village counciL Erwin had asked the change be made at the Octo­ ber 24 council meeting and the hearing was set for Thursday, November 14. After the peution, signed by 30 residents, was read by President Harold Chris­ tiansen said the petition would be acted upon at the next meeting. The petition gave no reasons why the rezoning should not take place. It merely said xWe the undersigned object to rezoning of the James Er­ win property, located at 429 South Main Street, Nashville, consisting of lots 1, 2 and 3 of block 8, A. W. Phillips addition from residential to residen­ tial-agricultural property. Mr. Erwin was at the meeting, and pointed out the marshy land could not be used for building sites, nor could it ever be used for gardening. He only wants to graze a pony on the land. The lots lie next to Quaker Creek, and there are no buildings to the east or west. His own residence is to the south of lots in question. The village clerk, Mrs. Ada SkedgeU. read a letter from Eugene C. Brown, of the Submerged Lands, Lands Division. Department of Conservation Lansing, which stated: " It has come to the attention that the street department is causing a fill to be made in the Tbomapplc River just west of the M-66 bridge on North Main Street. " While I understand it is small, at the present time, we feel that the local unit of government should set .the example for the citizenry at large. A fill at this point would interrupt the shore cur­ rents and water movement, as well as creating a pocket to catch floating debris, dead fish, etc. "We request immediate removal of the fill and the restoration of the bank to its original condition." The letter from Mt. Brown was dated November 4, and Thursday was the first time the council had met since the letter arrived. On Wednesday, No­ vember 13, Mr. Brown was in Nashville, but did not contact any of the village officials. Rather be talked to Police Chief Donald Langham. Brown is - reported to have stated that unless the village takes immediate action to make corrections the Water Resources Commission will be called in. In discussing the matter Thursday evening, at the council meeting, it was pointed out that the vil­ lage stopped putting any dirt in to fill the severe cut some two years ago, and that only a week or so ago the area was seeded. There are two logs which were placed near the water some yean ago to hold back the dirt. And at one time tne street department considered the possibility of putting a board across so that small children could fish from this point. But this was never done. The council is perfectly willing to do whatever is necessary to meet the request of the Department of Conserva­ tion, but they are not exactly sure, from Brown's letter what is expected of them. Hence, d’resident Christiansen said he would ask Mr. Brown to revisit Nashville and perhaps more explicit details could be given. In other business, Frank Scramlin was appointed to serve for one year as the local official legislature contact man tor the 1969 sessions; approval was grant­ ed the president and clerk to complete papers for the sale of village-owned property to Mr. and Mrs. Robert DeCamp; bids will sought for gasoline for village use, the bids to be opened at the December 12 meet­ ing. and the council voted to pay a portion of the expenses for the street commissioner, James Erwin, to attend a seminar on management, for which he received a scholarship througn the University of Mich­ igan. The council voted to pay the current bills,and voted $250 to the Maple Grove-Castleton Fite Board. Because of Thanksgiving, the next council meet­ ing will be held Tuesday, November 26. Office to be closed Because of the Thanksgiving Holiday, early copy is needed next week. Copy should be In by Saturday, November 23 or early Monday morn­ ing, November 25.

Charlton, met at the , park Wednesday afternoon of last week for a special ceremony. James H. Conner, the executor of the Charlton estate, gave a check for $60, 000 to Wil­ liam A. Cridler, Barry County Clerk, which will be used to further develop the park. Others present were Mrs. John B. Walton, chairman of the Charlton Park Commission; Jack O’Conner, chairman of the Barry County supervisors; Attn. Laur'ence E. Barnett who represented Mr. Charlton for more than 20 years in his various dealings and proj­ ects; Harvey Bersteeg, newly appointed Curator o f the Charlton Park Museum, and Franklin C. Beckwith, mayor of Hastings. The remarkable planning of Irving Charlton for the development of the park and museum, which he deeded to Barry County more than 30 years ago, was related by Attn. Barnett who worked with him f or many years in building up the "Charlton Park Proj­ ect.'' Charlton fully realized the potential of the nearly 300 acres of land along Thornapple River in Hastings Township. He knew It had historic charm as the campground of the Potawattomi Indians, and that its wooded areas, rolling hills and river beaches would attract constantly larger patronage from the public if properly maintained. Mr. Charlton devoted the last 30 years of his life to the filling of his "nat­ ural stone" museum which he himself oesigned and built, and to the providing of funds which would care for the further improvement of the park and museum for many years. Collecting the items began when Mr. Charlton was just a youth. Accordingly, he established a huge subdivision on Thornapple Lake known as Pleasant Shores plat, but separated from the park. He also recorded another plat known as the Irving Charlton Subdivision on M­ 70 Immediately east of the intersection of Charlton Park Road and Highway M-79. He had sold hundreds of lots in these two subdivisions at the time of his death with a substantial unpaid balance of approxi­ mately $44, 000. 00 still coming from such sales and many have been selling since that time and which will he furnishing steady income to the county for several years. The earlier settlement of the estate was delayed by the now-defeated claim of a distant and adopted cousin who had had no contact with Mr. Charlton for many years. It was her claim that because Mr. Charl­ ton aid not specifically mention in his Will 25 acres of undeveloped and swampy land adjoining the Pleas­ ant Shores Plat to the northwest and because he d i d not mention $18, 000. 00 that he had already given the County to be matched with $18, 000.00 of the county's money for the building of a needed addition to the museum, that such land and money were u n disposed of assets in his estate that should go to the claimant as an heir. Judge Philip H. Mitchell proper­ ly declined to act as Probate Judge because the Coun­ ty of Barry was the sole beneficiary of the Charlton will and Judge John W. Conlin of Ann Arbor was ap­ pointed to hear the contest of the wilL On July 28, 1965, after Mr. Barnett, Attn. Paul E. Siegel repre­ senting the Road Commission and Miss Edna Boddy, then Prosecuting Attorney representing the County of Barry, had argued the matter in various court appear­ ances, Judge John W. Conlin held that the will was sound arid that County of Barry was the only benefici­ ary and that the opposing claim was without merit. Represented by a Lansing attorney who had taken the case on a contingent basis, an appeal was taken from Probate Court to the Circuit Court and Judge Archie McDonald declined to act because the County of Bar­ ry was involved and the Honorable Robert W. McIn­ tyre of the Hillsdale Circuit held two sessions of court and the attorneys again presented their arguments and lengthy briefs traveling to Hillsdale for the last hear­ ing. Judge Robert W. McIntyre filed his opinion em­ phasizing the holdings of the Probate Judge in declar­ ing that Barry County was the only beneficiary under the will. The persistant claimant then appealed the case to the Michigan Court of Appeals and again the record and many briefs had to be prepared anew and argued at Grana Rapids before the Court of Appeals. The three judges had no hesitation in confirming the judgment of the Probate and Circuit Judges who had heard the case before them and held that the claim of the cousin was without merit. In a final attempt to force the County of Barry into a settlement the matter was appealed to the Supreme Court and once again the attorneys had to go through the routine of proving that a will which five competent judges had declared to be good, was all that iwbould be. On May 23, 1968 the Supreme Court dismissed the ap­ peal and put an end to the unjustified and delaying conduct of the heir. Meanwhile more than $77,000.00 bad accumula­ ted in the bank account and the attorney for the E x ecutor filed a petition asking that the court permit the estate to turn over a large portion of the money to obtain its Curator and go ahead with contemplated development. Judge Mitchell who has resumed juris­ diction of the case after the elimination of any al­ leged contest, granted the petition of the Executor ■’ and provided for the payment of $60, 000. 00 and also authorized the Executor to begin the improvement and platting of the swampy 25 acres so as to provide further lots to add to the income which Irving Charl­ ton had provided to help his county of Barry perpetu­ ate and improve the public recreation area he had given to Barry County. Plans call for the construction of "Charlton Park Village, " with its quaint and authentic buildings, shops and church together with the actual operation of Jiese old-time shops and trades, will bring thou­ sands of visitors to Barry County and will make the vision of Irving D. Charlton come true.

Two casts are busy with preparations for these presentations. The curtain time is set for 8:00 p. m. and the play is being directed by Mrs. Greta Finter. "Tattletale" is a three-act comedy portraying sev­ en male characters, nine female and several extras. The story begins so very innocently. Patty just has to have a typewriter to type the script of her novel and Tod agrees to borrow the new one from the school office which they planned to take right back. Things don’t work out that easily, however, and a detective was soon investigating the theft of the typewriter. But someone accidently sat on the typewriter and Patty will have to buy a new one. It was then she thought of selling her novel, but it is her diary that was delivered to the newspaper office instead, and this shakes up the town like a major explosion. For Patty tells "all. ” Things do work out, though, and the story has a happy ending. Two casts are being used, but a few students will be on stage for both presentations. Included in the casts are Debbie Dunham, Judy Rasey, LeRoy Nel­ son, Janet Dennis, Kermit Douse, Kathy Fox, Steve Tefft, Jim Shelton, Bob Misener, Marsha Ackett, Debbie Vliek, Chris Boughton, Peggy Hummell, Bar­ bara Snow, Dale Fisher, Carol Eldred, Eddie Purchis, Durwood Steward, Dale Hose, Marie Daniels, Vir­ ginia Babcock, Ruth Hulsebos.

Chien a weekly syndicated column distributed by the Paul P. Chien Publishing Agency AFFILIATE MEMBER MAPLE VALLEY NEWS Do not follow the trend Many events of the last six months are living ex­ amples for our younger generation to learn to a c cept the virtues of courage, endurance, preserva­ tion and not to disregard the so-called losers by the uninformed public opinion polls. An individual's suc­ cess lies in his endurance and defending himself to the last ditch with honor and conviction. Today so many of the middle-aged individuals and younger generation give up too easily and consider it unwise to buck the trend. In many cases, people will change their political beliefs because they feel they must stick with the winners. Therefore, during the Nazi period we had many French and Chinese traitors col­ laborating with the enemies. Recently our Detroit Tigers won the World Series. According to the public poll, the Tigers had no chance at alL In our recent elections with tight ra­ ces in all levels of offices, it was gratifying to learn both the Republican and Democratic candidates tried their best refusing to concede or give up during the very early stage. To see the heart transplant patient LETTERS TO THE EDITOR November 18, 1968 Mr. John Boughton Nashville-News 110 Maple Street Nashville, Michigan Dear John: I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the opportunities you and others in your organi­ zation have given me to teach the citizens of this District -not only during the campaign but through­ out my service in Congress. As you know, the job of a Congressman to a ma­ jor degree is communicating--making our political world understandable. Without your whole-hearted assistance and cooperation, it would be impossible to maintain an avenue of communication between myself and the people 1 represent. Again, my thank, and I look forward to contin­ uing the fine relationship we have enjoyed in the past. Best personal regards, Sincerely, Garry Brown Improvements planned for Charlton Park According to iniormation from the Barry County Parks and Museum Commission a long list of im provements are to be made at the Charlton Park Museum. Included will be the installation of heating, air conditioning and humidification equipment, insu­ lation of the roof, restrooms within the building, and a complete rewiring of the building. All otthe improvements will greatly help preserve the histor­ ic artifacts stored and on display, and will permit work to continue throughout the year. An exter­ minator will also rid the museum of the beetles which have already extensively damaged many of the historical items during the time the building was closed. and medical doctor not giving up though failures have occurred add to the evidence. Thinking backon our American Revolution, we see it was not a par­ ticularly easy one as well as our Civil War. I am deeply convinced that this principle should also be applied in our academic pursuits and free en­ terprise as well as an individual's professional career. All greater successes must come through hard work, endurance, and sw.eat and blood. In many cases, the greater sacrifice results in the greater achievement. The more obstacles one is able to overcome, the more lasting success one is able to obtain, individ­ uals to never die involuntarily. In many cases, we human beings are too tired to live and have suffered too much pain; we voluntarily give up our lives. I sincerely hope this is a good lesson for one to learn. Do not try to follow the trend without individ­ uality, creativeness, and self-preservation, and will to win.

Born in Sunfield township November 21, 1876, she moved with her parents, Mt. and Mrs. James Childs, to the farm on Irish Street when she was six years old. Miss Childs never married, but stay­ ed on the farm to look after her parents until they died. She also helped in raising her nieces and nephews. While living on the farm she looked after cows, had her own herd of sheep and was a beekeeper. For many years she was a correspondent for the Nash­ ville News and her natural wit and humor concern­ ing her neighbors along Irish Street will long b e remembered. Approximately 15 years ago she suffered a stroke, and after recovering from that she had the misfor­ tune to fall and break her hip. She has lived in convalescent homes and at the Eaton County Medi­ cal Facility since that time, and about a year ago was taken to her present home on Amity Street. During her younger years Miss Childs was active in the work of a Holiness Church in Nashville which later became affiliated with the Church of the Nazarene. Her main interest was in missionary work. Miss Childs was the fourth in a family of nine children. The American Legion Post in Vermont­ ville, the Childs-Demaray Post, was named in hon­ or of her youngest brother, Rufus, who served in the Army in World War I, and Charles Demaray of the United States Navy in the same war. Rufus died at Fort Custer near Battle Creek during the flu epi­ demic of 1918, and Charles died of the same drsease two weeks later in a Chicago naval base. Miss Childs has a remarkable memory for one her age, and can recite poetry and bible passages learned many years ago. Her hearing and eyesight have failed, but she still enjoys the frequent visits of her nieces and nephews as well as the friends she has made over the long years. Church News Photo bv Gladys Richardson One of her visitors is John Hokanson ot Vermont­ ville. He served in the hospital at Fort Custer and looked after her brother Rufus during his last ill­ ness. A number of relatives and friends planned to vis­ it Miss Childs Thursday to remind her of her birth­ day and wish her many happy returns of the day.

Christmas cards need 6c stamps The Post Office Department has advised persons sending Christmas cards that all cards weighing one ounce or less must carry six cents postage. In previous years, unsealed cards without a writ­ ten message (only the signature of the sender) would be sent one cent less than first class postage. These would be delivered as third class mail, without the provision for forwarding or return if undeliverable. The postage rate legislation which went into ef­ fect last January raised the single rate third class postage to six cents for the first two ounces. Since virtually all greeting cards weigh less than an ounce, the first class and third class rates are, in effect, the same. Thus, the Post Office notes, all greeting cards bearing six cents postage which are undeliverable as addressed shall be forwarded if a new address is available. The department stressed the importance of a re­ turn address to assure that undeliverable cards will be returned. This allows mailers to keep their a d dress lists up to date.

Bag �New feature begins In this week's issue A new feature is being presented in this week’s issue of the Maple Valley News. This new feature is a column written by Hugh W. Brenneman o n health and other subjects commonly related to full­ er living. The first acticle is on the subject of O­ besity. Obesity (Hugh W. Brenneman, East Lansing, Michigan, Exe­ cutive Director Michigan State Medical Society, Michigan Association of the Professions.) The problem ot obesity affects 25% of our popula­ tion. Everybody has an intake and outgo of energy— but the obese person has developed an excessive in­ take in daily energy and is not spending as much en­ ergy as he should in order to keep his balance of in­ take and outgo at a level. There are other factors which contribute to weight gain in addition to excessive daily energy intake-s'uch factors as a decrease in the amount of physical activity. Individuals tend to enjoy food more and exercise less when they get older, and that puts them on a positive energy balance. Hugh Brenneman can be found in The Internation­ al Who's Who in Public Relations, the World Who's Who in Commerce and Industry, the Who's Who in the Midwest, and the Dictionary of International Biography. For almost a quarter of a century, he has served the Michigan State Medical Society as its PR coun­ sel and Executive Director. As the man whose "definition" of a bona fide pro­ fession has been accepted as the standard among professionals and educators, it follow logically that Hugh was the prime stemwinder in organizing both the American and Michigan Associations of Profes­ sions, serving as president of the former and execu­ tive director of the latter. Active in radio prior to World War n he has re­ turned to the air as the producer and commentator of a TV program for the past seven years and a col­ umnist for Michigan Medicine, the Medical Journ­ al of Michigan. Spin the wheel of medical, health, educational and civic organizations wherever it stops, Hugh has probably been its PR consultant at one time or another. He has been named Citizen of the Year, cited often for distinguished service as an outstanding speaker. He also has several awards from his naval lieutenant days, and four varsity ath­ letic letters from college. He still jogs, bowls, golfs and rides. But in his more contemplative mo­ ments, he relaxes in his own sauna or plays his trombone and piano. Psychological factors associated with overeating are very important in the development of many types of obesity. There are individuals who will re­ son to eating as a means of quelching their anxiety, their depression, their tension--a sort of reactive­ type of obesity because these individuals react to tneir tensions by overeating. Some people find a special gratification in food that they may be un­ able to find in other things in life. r There are, also, people who are very much con­ cerned and centered in their obesity, who have been obese for all their lives, and where their family en­ vironments have contributed very much to their be­ coming obese. In these individuals, obesity is a very major problem because it is very tightly con­ nected with their psychological make-up. 'They are usually the ones who will fail to follow any weight­ reduction diet. On the other hand, those individuals who have become obese in adult life, are the ones who will usually benefit from weight reduction program. The fust step in weight reduction is to have a physical evaluatidh by a physician to see whether there are glandular problems, such as Cushings' dis­ ease or hypo-thyroidism, etc. The individual then often goes to a phychiatrist to determine whether he or she will benefit from the weight reduction program. If the psychiatrist says that the individual will benefit from a psychi­ New dump hours Starting November 1st. there will be a change in the dump hours for the village. The dump will be open from 4:00 to 6^00 pm on Wednesday and from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm on Satur­ days. Into your hair we weave a bit of holiday dazzle The most Much enthusiasm was apparent Wednesday eve­ ning as a group of committees met for the regular meeting of the NashviUe Centennial Committee. George Vogt js serving as chairman of this com­ mittee and Mri, Nelson Brumm is the secretary. Meet­ ings have been held approximately every month. Some groups are organized and others are being formed There are Brothers of the Brush clubs and Centennial BeUes and others. Some clever "gimmicks" are being considered for promotion of the Centennial, Some wooden dimes wiU be circulated shortly by merchants and these may be used as money in the stores and will help promote the celebration. The NashviUe Car Wash has been bought by Ron­ ald Graham, weU known in the NashvUle area. Mr. Graham has been seen the past few summers parked on Main Street with his pickup with produce to sell, and is hoping to see his friends at the Car Wash which wUl be open daUy as in the past.

Of prime importance is the weight reduction diet, a colorie-restricted diet. The treatment of obesity starts with a re-establishment of an adequate ener­ gy balance. To make a person lose weight he must establish a negative energy balance by reducing the energy intake and increasing the energy expen­ diture. U an individual has an intake of energy (an intake of calories) below those that he requires to maintain his weight, he will out of necessity have to use his own energy stores for keeping up his daily energy necessities and he will therefore lose weight. Another important factor; If an individual who is obese happens to increase his energy expenditure by increasing exercise of physical activity, he will al­ so contribute to establishing a negative energy bal­ ance and thereby lose weight. Physical fitness pro­ grams of institutions such as the YMCA-YWCA are important because these offer the opportunity of spending more calories and the net Balance will be a negative energy balance. Appetite suppressant and weight reduction pills have little value in a weight reduction program, and there are inherent dangers in the use of such drugs. Certainly they can be only temporarily ef­ fective. They dp not cause a long-term suppression of appetite. They seem to be most effective to in­ dividuals of normal weight who really don't need to take them. Too, the addition of certain hor-mones and other medications to these drugs increas­ es the danger. Individuals may become addicted to weight reduction or appetite depressant pills, and then they may need them whether they receive any benefit or not. Some of the drugs used have been thyroid and dig­ italis; also diuretics, sometimes called "water pills" have been used. AU these latter result in is a loss of water. In the case of thyroid, in addition to the loss of water, the drug produces a loss of muscle mass but not so much a loss of fat. An increase in fat is what defines obesity so the use of these drugs wUl not be of any great benefit in the treatment of obesity.

Santa will arrive in Nashville on Saturday afternoon December 7 th. A Big Parade will be held on M a in Street to herald his arrival. A Special Santa's Headquarters will be prepared in the Maple Valley Floral Shop on Main Street. Santa will visit with his friends there and will have a bag of treats for them. According to Max Kelley, chairman for the Nash­ ville Christmas committee, Santa will visit N a s h ville again on Saturday, December 14th and on Sat­ urday, December 21st. On these two Saturdays a drawing will be held in Central Park. Six turkeys will be given free, three each Saturday. Persons are asked to register in all participating stores for these drawings; however, they must be present to win the turkeys. Santa's arrival*ih Vermontville will take place on Saturday afternoon, December 21st. He will ar­ rive by fire truck and will visit with his friends in the Fire Bam at 2:00 p, m. Christmas decorations are in place along the Main Street and the tree in Central Park has been decora­ ted. New street decorations have been purchased by the Chamber of Commerce during the last few years, and this year new poles have been installed to facil­ itate the hanging of these decorations. Christmas decorations are also being placed along the Main Street in Vermontville and the various stores are dec­ orated also. Council ponders the garbage collection problem The Village Council discussed the garbage con­ tract at the last council meeting. Originally the company from Charlotte that picks up the garbage picked up two times a wekk. They have now gone to a once-a-week pick-up but they are not happy because they get twice as much garbage per pick­ up as they dii They would also like the garbage to be put at the curb. The members of the council also discussed the fact that a Mr. Ellis from Charlotte is interested in starting a plating company somewhere in the area and has indicated that he might be interested in Nashville. He would need a 30 thousand square foot cement block building for his operation. The council discussed the disposal of the chromic acid waste that is left after the plating process is com­ pleted. Apparently our sewage disposal system would not be adequate to take care of such waste. There was some concern among the council memben over the condition of the theater building. Many of the members believe the building is a dan­ ger and should either be put in repair or taken down. A letter will be written to the owner of the build­ ing so staring. President Christiansen asked what the council thought of providing a sinking fund for water and sewage and raising taxes a mill to provide for this. Mrs. Skedgell said that people on the state level have told her that our water and sewage rates are tte lowest in the state and that they should be twice what they are. They think that if the fates were raised to compare with other communities in the state we would be able to provide for additional water and sewage. ___________ NUMBER 28 Community plans for gala Centennial celebration It looks now as though a large number of N a s h ville male residents are going to have some pretty good looking beards, sideburns and mustaches by the time the Centennial celebration rolls around next June. But a few weeks back they were a pretty sick looking group of individuals who had either lost their razors or the stores were entirely out of blades. These men can now show their registration cards as Brothers of the Brush club, or gome other such group. Then there are the Smoothies who have no beards, and the women of the community are or­ ganizing various Bell clubs and will promote wear­ ing old fashioned clothes at the celebration. The Centennial celebration, being sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce, with the help of all or­ ganizations in the village, will be observed in a three-day celebration on June 26, 27 and 28. Var­ ious groups are responsible for programs both after­ noons and evenings of the big event, and there will be everything from sky diving, tractor pulling, a big parade, a balloon ascension, ox roast, the judg­ ing of beards, dances, special programs from a stage to oe erected on Maple Street in front of the Maple Valley News office, an art show, numerous displays in the store windows, along with a big display of vehicles and even steam engines, just to mention a few. Rem Wall and his popular group of musicians from Kalamazoo will put on a two-hour program, concession stands will line Main Street, and there will be pony rides. dent is George H. Vogt, while serving as vice presi­ dent is Harry Johnson; secretary, Mrs.Geneva Brumm and treasurer, Adolph Douse. Heading up the Novelties committee is Nelson Brumm, and he has already had to reorder such ar­ ticles as derbies, neckties, sleeve bands and round garters. Within the next few days the merchants will be starting a "wooden dimes* stunt, and on occasion will pass out these wooden dimes as change. They* are marked with the centennial dates, and will be redeemable for actual cash at other participating stores, or by the Centennial committee. A history of events in book form is being drawn up, and there are also to be centennial plates, which will be ideal souvenirs. Another highlight of the celebration will be burying of a capsule, in which anyone is invited to put in a few pertinent facts of himself. There will be a small charge for this, and when the capsule or vault is burieo there will be a stipulation tnat it is not to be dug up for 100 years. The merchants are going to be asked to "fix up and paint up" their store fronts for the celebra­ tion, and many have already indicated they would bejjlad to cooperate. The Centennial committee will not be meeting during December. The next session will be held Wednesday, January 15, at 7 p. m. in the Castleton township hall on Main Street.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Now that Thanksgiving is over we can start de­ voting all of our time to getting ready for the big­ gies that are coming up. I mean Christmas and New Years. Christmas isn't so difficult to contend with b e cause we have the kids to help us. But I have to stan right now getting used to watching all of those football games on New Years. Nashville seems to be getting ready for Christ­ mas. The decorations are up on Main Street and they look good. The Chamber of Commerce has seen to it that we have new poles so that trucks will not hit the decking and pull it down. The stores in town are all decorated for the jolly season and things look quite Christmasey. In addi­ tion to that, Santa's Mailbox has been put back up in the park and his friends can mail their letters to him there. The letters will appear in the News. Vic Higdon has moved his store from Makers into the building that used to be occupied by the Beedle Insurance office. Loren Dingman has moved the Maple Valiev Floral Company into the building that used to be the Teener and he is selling Christ­ mas trees in the old Munro Store. Nicholas Appliance has a new line of gift items just in time for the Christmas season. We wish success to Ron Graham in his new ven­ ture at the Car Wash in Nashville. Things are changing around the town. That's good. "AS I SEE IT” written by Paul P. Chien a weekly syndicated column distributed by the Paul P.

The increase of productivity was due to the division of labor The freedom of the labor movement was due to the des­ truction of the slave system. The creation of the governmental structurethat was to protect the in­ dividual's freedom and liberty resulted in the evil of bureaucracy. The government soldiers were supposed to defend their people, from outside invaders; now in many countries the national soldiers are shooting at their own people. The public official is supposed to be the public servant; now has become the master of the mass of slaves. Tax collectors have become the nightmare of common citizens. Eavesdropping tech­ niques apply to all levels of the bureaucratic sys­ tem. According to the news media, the postal in­ spectors look into female restrooms. Internal Reven­ ue agents in metropolitan areas are conducting mass conspiracy. Union leaders are virtually trying to .seek lifetime employment. Bid industries are con­ tinuously being embarrassed and abused by the gov­ ernment's order to roll back their prices. Regardless it is the city or state capitol, all the buildings are designed like a monstrous federal pen­ itentiary. Internal auditing systems are getting so complicated that no individual can make any d e cisions without seeking numerous agencies. Decis­ ions have to be made by committee meetings. Any individuals with leadersnip or initiative are consid­ ered as little Caesars or simply as dictators.

Because of the bureaucrats' lack of education to team how to read an individ­ ual' name, they will even use the number system to control their obedient slaves. Human beings are treated as animals in the cage. Society has become a public- controlled zoo.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Dear Editor, I am very disturbed with actions of the great ma jorfty of American calendar .makers, teachers, jour­ nalists, storytellers and the public in general over their lack of justice in selecting the proper symbol of our great American Thanksgi.ing holiday. Throughout our school all we see are posters o f turkeys, big and small, with purple, green and yel­ low feathers and a big red hunk of skin hanging over their beaks. In grade school the teachers show their pupils how to make a turkey with a potato, toothpicks and feathers. America has been grossly prejudice in ig­ noring its most "forgotten American, " the duck, one of the most beautiful, peaceful birds known to man. I would like to point out that the wild turkey is one of the world’s toughest birds, second only to the ex­ tinct Moa of New Zealand. There appeared last week in the State Journal an article on Michigan's wild turkey flock which quoted a hunter saying the meat was ' too tough to make gravy. " Certainly I can see that the turkey is a majestic creature, size-wise. At the head of the table often pictured on calendars we see the Thanksgiving tur­ key. Let me tell you a story about it. As we all know, the pilgrim's musket was a very weak weapon. It would have been impossible to shoot a turkey in normal health, but the turkey we see pictured was fifty yean old and dying of rneumatism. For that reason there was but one turkey at that fitst Thanks­ giving! The bulk of the meal was composed of our little friend, the duck. The Indians had allowed the Pilgrims to cook that gobbler as a joke. "Upon cut­ ting into it, however, they found the turkey so tough and dry that instead of eating it, they used its skin as a handiwipe when John Alden spilled his milk. Why this injustice, you ask? Since the beginning of our country, we have had a lack of heroes to look up to, so we have used the turkey to cover up the story of the Pilgrims mass slaughter of ducks. I feel that I must uncover this story lest the duck fade into the shadows of extinct­ ion when without it to help our founding father sur­ vive through the winter, many of us would not be here today. The duck has a trusting, unsuspectful nature, so the Pilgrims found it easy to bait them by throwing popcorn upon the water, and several minutes later as the ducks were feeding within a stone's throw, jump Qom the bushes and none them. As I have shown you, we owe a great deal to our duck. Then why is Johnny Rodriguez's frozen food case filled with turkeys’Why aren't there any Thanksgiving greeting cards with ducks on them? Why did my little brother bring home a potato tur­ key instead of a potato duck? Will we let our friend down? Let us unite, my friends, and join the movement to boycott our enemy, Mr. Gobblehead. Harry Hammond The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, December 5, 196b STUDENT MATURITY Campus demonstrators make the news. But the ma­ jority of students, even those who want more aca­ demic freedom, would rather have orderly change, believes Dr. Milton B. Dickerson, Michigan State Un­ iversity vice president for student affairs. He is crit­ ical of media which concentrate on student unrest and seldom note the accomplishments of joint student/university committees. Such committees at MSU, Dickerson notes, help­ ed solve many student-administration problems. They have developed effective channels of com­ munication and provided the means for student rep­ resentation in university policy-making. An academic freedom report is the ’T>lueprint" which spells out the process for altering rules and regulations at MSU. It was developed in 1966,shortly after "the Berkeley incident, " but long before stu­ dent protests became prevalent, Dickeaon points out. Requested by MSU president John A. Hannah, the freedom report was hammered out by eight subcom­ mittees working in four general areas: academic rights; student records; "due process" in disciplinary problems; student publications. Two sub-commit­ tees, one composed of faculty members and one from student ranks, worked separately in each area. Each subcommittee then met with its counterpart to resolve differences and draw up final recommenda­ tions. The complete report was approved by the Board of Trustees in March, 1967. Dickerson believes the freedom report somewhat parallels the US Constitution and allows for a dem­ ocratic process of change. For example, he cites former dress regulations imposed by the univenity during mealtimes. Student dissatisfaction arose over requirements for certain apparel when eating in dormatories. The policy was Drought before ASMSU, the student governing body, with the recommenda­ tion that each unit set its own regulations. The rec­ ommendation was also approved by the Faculty Com­ mittee on Student Affain and was sent to Dickerson for administrative action. The recommended policy was adopted. If the student group and faculty committee cannot agree on proposed changed, they break into subcom­ mittees to "work things out;' Dickerson states. He is quick to point out that this does not cause insur­ mountable problems. " Students are much more ma­ ture, more conservative and realistic than we are often led to believe, " he says. Another channel for orderly protest was establish­ ed with the Office of Ombudsman. He is responsi­ ble only to the univenity president. Students who have individual complaints, feel they are caught in univenity "red tape", question procedures or 'Just have problems, " find the ombudsman receptive and willing to investigate. Because of his freeoom from "the system, " Dickerson noses, the ombudsman can cut across traditional lines of authority to get answen for the student. He is counselor, advocate, and judge. He will support a sutdent who has been justly wronged but will quickly withdraw if be finds the student has fabricated his story. MSU was the fint univenity in the US to establish an ombudsman and one of the fint to develop an academic freedom report. Some 20 univenities now have ombudsmen and "thousands of copies" of the freedom report have been sent to colleges and uni­ venities across the country, Dickenon says. Another step towards active student participation in univenity policy-making was taken last year when the by-laws of the Faculty Committee on Stu­ dent Affain was amended to include student repre­ sentation. This move is outside the design of the freedom report but is another step in giving students more voice in univenity affain, Dickenon contends. Incidems occur in spite of such programs. Last June, a demonstration erupted over arrests for vio­ lation of drug laws. Dickenon notes that "only a few of those arrested were students, " and believes that some students will always disregard the law. He feels that leaden of student militant groups use emotional appeals to whip students into active support of "causes." "I think that they (militant leaden) subconscious­ ly want to build a better atmosphere for learning.. but they want to do it by tearing down everything as it now exists... believing that something good is bound to develop from the ruins. I just can't sub­ scribe to that theory." These types of programs undermine tactics used by activists and provide an orderly procedure to change rules and regulations. Rule by consent is a.ways best, Dickenon be­ lieves. "Bit by bit we're moving towards involving the student into areas formerly within only faculty and administrative jurisdiction, " he concludes. Dogs need protection Willard L. Mikesell, Prosecuting Attorney tot Eaton County, has reminded dog ownen that they are required to have rabies vaccinations for their dogs before purchasing their dog licenses . The fin­ al date for renewing the license is March 1, 1968. To assist dog ownen and to help protect your children, veterinarians of the Eaton County area will hold a Rabies Vaccination Clinic at a reduced fee, from December 2nd through December 7th and from December 9th through December 14th, 1968. �Club News Dominic Morawski, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Morawski (Dale Ann Priddy) returned home from Leila Post Hospital, Battle Creek, Saturday, where he had surgery on his arm.

The score was 73-33. Walt Shaw led the Maple Valley squad on eight points. Although Maple Valley stayed close to Lakewood through the first half. Lakewood pulled well into the lead in the final two quarters. Lakewood also won the reserve game. The Post Office Department has advised persons sending Christmas cards that all cards .weighing one ounce or less must carry six cents postage. In previous years, unsealed cards without a writ­ ten message (only the signature of the sender) would be sent one cent less than first class postage. These would be delivered as third class marl, without the provision for forwarding or return if undeliverable. The postage rate legislation which went into ef­ fect last January raised the single rate third class postage to six cents for the first two ounces. Since virtually all greeting cards weigh less than an ounce, the fust class and third class rates are, in effect, the same. Thus, the Post Office notes, all greeting cards bearing six cents postage which are undeliverable as addressed shall be forwarded if a new address is available. The department stressed the importance of a re­ turn address to assure that undeliverable cards will be returned. This allows mailers to keep their a d dress lists up to date. Local art to be exhibited Once again this year, art work and hobbies and crafts of many local residents will be on exhibit and for sale at the News office in Nashville, Last year, for the first time, a display was set up of this local talent and more than 15 persons took pan and had work on exhibit. Those who are interested in taking part this year are asked to contact Mrs. John Boughton at the News office or Mrs. Gerald Shoup. All work should be orig­ inal (no kits or number work accepted) and all work should be for sale. This project is repeated in an attempt to show the talents of the local residents and to perhaps encour­ age others to become involved in these hobbies. It is expected that art objects will be on display from now until Christmas.

During the morning worship hour at 9:45 a. m. the Rev. E. F. Rhoades dedicated a portion of his talk to Mrs. Whitmore. From 10:45 to 12 noon there was a coffee hour for the honored guest. Mrs. Whitmore now resides at 7588 Lawrence High­ way, southeast of Nashville. Back in 1921 she and her husband, the late Levi Otis Whitmore, moved into the neighborhood of the Maple Grove Church, and for the next 47 years she was very active in the work of the church. She taught a Sunday School class for many years, was secretary of the Sunday school, was a steward in the church, and was a member of the Ladies Aid Society. The former Rilla Archer was bom in Assyria Town­ ship in June, 1889, to Oscar and Eucebia Archer. A­ bout two years later her parents moved into Maple Grove Township just east of McCartney Corners, and she attended the Quailtrap SchooL Completing the eighth grade there she attended Nashville High SchooL Often she rode her pony to high school In recalling those days, Mrs. Whitmore said that on two occasions her pony, "Captain" stopped abruptly and she was unceremoniously dumped off, once when her horse was frightened by a pile of white ash­ es which had been put into the street in Nashville, and naother time when he dumped her as he became startled by a pile of trees which had been cut dow n along a wooded area. This time she landed in a mud puddle, and had to go back home for a c o m plete change of clothing before going to schooL When she was about 10 years old she recalls reach­ ing across a wooden rack which her father had built over a spring to hang up a dipper after she got a drink of water, missed the hook, and tumbled into the spring. Her plight was discovered by a neigh­ bor woman, Mrs. Cynthia Andrews, who was at the Archer home helping feed threshers. Mrs. Andrews went to the back door to throw out the dishwater, and saw Rilla's feet sticking up out of the spring. Following this incident, her father put in a well right away. 'After attending school two years in Nash­ ville, Miss Archer enrolled in Argubrignt's Business School in Battle Creek, and worked about two years for the Royal Fireless Cooker Company as secretary in that city. It was here she met Levi Whitmore. They were married March 23, 1910, in Assyria Township. For the next eleven years the couple liv­ ed on a farm in Pennfield Township where they raised cows and peddled milk in Battle Creek, door to door. In order to have the milk ready for the ear­ ly morning delivery, the Whitmores had to arise at two a. m. The Whitmores moved into the McKelvey D is trict in Maple Grove in 1921. Here Mrs. Whitmore served on the school board during the time the dis­ trict consolidated with Nashville. Mr. Whitmore suffered a stroke about 1951, and died in 1959. Following his death Mrs. Whitmore took care of old people in Woodland, Battle Creek and Maple Grove. em right All NIP OL3-8741 NASHVILLE TARTEP • CALI SUPPLEMENT CITIZENS ELEVATORS The Maple Valley News, Nashville.

The continuing need for additional blood donors especially through the coming holiday sea­ son was emphasized at the meeting of the Lansing Regional Red Cross Blood Program Committee held in Lansing on Thursday, November 14. All chap­ ters were urged to make a special effort to recruit extra donors for the Bloodmobile visits scheduled from now until the first of the year. The need for blood during holiday seasons increases, but donors tend to slack off on their donations dufing holiday The 20th anniversary of the Red Cross Blood Pro­ gram was observed at the regional meeting. The blood program, as it exists today, was established in 1948 following World War IL The Lansing Re­ gional Blood Center began its operation on Decem­ ber 20, 1948. At that time there were five counties participating with Barry County as one of the origin­ al five. Richard Fluke, Chairman Barry Countv Red Cross Blood Program, reported that Barry County has met its quota for the past year and urged all donors to continue their support of the Barry County Red Cross Blood Program. All citizens of the County are urged to leave their blood at the Bloodmobile, not on the highway. Hold Christmas party The Nashville Lions Club held its annual Christ­ mas party on Monday, December 2 at the Masonic Temple. It was Ladies night and eighteen couples attended. After dinner, Elmer Jarvie, program chairman, introduced Mr. Lawrence West who gave a lecture with slides on ancient symbols and their meanings. Mr. West also showed an obelisk he had made, which had taken three years to make all the mark­ ings in the cast; John Simon, president, dismissed everyone with " Have a Merry Christmas. " Modem sexual revolution (Hugh W. Brenneman, East Lansing, Michigan, Exe­ cutive Director Michigan State Medical Society, Michigan Association of the Professions.) Civilization is said to be in a renaissance. It is a scientific, technicological, cultural, philosophi­ cal and sexual rebirth. But the last, the sexual rev­ olution, is the one talked about most. There has been waxing and waning of acceptance of the pri­ vate sexualoehavior throughout recorded history. In all probability we're in one of the upswing times. Information available in statistic* on venereal disease rates and illegitimacy rates show that in the last 15 years things are occurring in a younger and younger population. Today about half of all illegit­ imate births are to teen-aged girl*. This suggests that people in that age group are sexually active which may be a change from previous years. Heterosexual activities as far as sexual inter­ course is concerned is proving to be entirely out of line for the young teenaged girL An obstetrician told me he had seen many girl* who are 13 to 15 years old when they are pregnant and didn't want to be, or occasionally when they had gonorrhea. He said he hat yet to see one under the age of 16 that went into the sexual relationship that actually en­ joyed it. He added that he sees those that have had trouble and not a hypthetically large number of an older group of girl* 18-19 or in their 20* who may be enjoying this aspect of their relationship and not getting into trouble. He commented and his fellow physician* seem to agree, that girls aged 14 to 15 almost consistently get into trouble when they par­ ticipate in sexual activity. They do not do it be­ cause they love someone and teel that this is a nor­ mal expression of their love. Rather they are disturb­ ed and trying to solve some problem by doing it. It is being done for something other than what it pro­ vides per'te. They do it to get even with a parent that’* been over-controlling... to get out of the home... to nail a boy down... to get married. The incidence of unfavorable consequence is much higher in the younger age group for they have not had the advantage of education. As things are in our culture right now the typical 13 and 14 year old girl does not have enough education to give her a very fair guarantee against pregnancy, disease, exploitation and so forth. For this as well as other reason* many authorities believe children should first begin their formal ed­ ucation on sexual matters at a very early age. A­ mong these are very knowledgeable doctors who be­ lieve a child can't be too young to begin learning about the human body and its various function*. There might be questions about methodology but the ancient delusion that it's good for children to be ignorant about something, because this will improve their ability to cope with the problems they have to face is tragic. Questions about biological situation* can be ans­ wered in term* the children can understand. Some introduction to reproduction as a subject can be done as early as kindergarten, and certainly a very formal explanation of human biology, of reproduc­ tion can come along by 4th and 5th or 6 grade* on a rather detailed basis. These children are not too young to understand. Is our society ready for this? The feeling I get when I talk to groups is they are not only ready but they are eager for sex education and family life ed­ ucation to be taught. This is grass roots people, both the upper crust of univenity profeston, lawyen, big businessmen, and the farmen and their wives, shopkeepen, the butcher and baker. I have the feeling that the major concern of the parents is that the teaching be done right. They want information to be accurate, they want it to be sound. Another inter­ esting concern of thein was expressed like this: "Yes, I want my children to have this information but I don't want to have to do the educating. It's too embarrasing."

Bean reminded dairymen not enrolled in a produc­ tion testing program that fall is a good time to be­ " Dairymen have more time in the fall and winter to start a record- keeping program that will give them information they need to build a more profit­ able dairy herd, " the agent Explained.

It was a double tragedy for the Huskey family which bad lived in Nashville the past 2 1/2 yean. Mrs. Sue Huskey, wife of Albert, who is known as "L RT had gone to the Charlotte hospital to pick up their two youngest children, Jackie R.. a year-old daughter, and Michelle, age four months, who had been hospitalized with pneumonia. Mr. Huskey works night at the Olds Automobile plant in Lansing and was asleep in the trailer when the fire broke out. He grabbed up Amanda, and a­ nother daughter, Litachya, 3, and ran next door to the Willard Mosher residence. Mr. Huskey and A­ manda were taken to the Charlotte hospital in the swibalance operated by the Nashville Fire Depart- Huskey suffered second degree burns on his back and neck, and a cut left foot. Amanda's hair was badly singed, she had second degree burns on her right arm and leg and a cut and burned left hand. Litachya was not injured. The cause of the fire, according to Fire Chief Forrest Babcock, is not known, and is still under in­ vestigation. The interior of the mobile home was completely demolished. The Huskeys have another child, Billy Eugene, 5, who was in kindergarten when the fire broke out. Mrs. Huskey who was bringing the two younger children home from the hospital, had stopped at the home of her mother, Mrs. Hazel Huskey in Char­ lotte, when she received the call her husband and Amanda bad been taken to the hospital. Presently Mrs. Huskey, Billy,. Jackie and Michelle are staying with the Buford Huskeys near Nashville. Litachya is staying with her uncle and aunt, Mr. and Ma. Richard Trowbridge near Woodland.

When I first started the darn thing I expected it to turn out a nice jet black, but i t seems to be coming off kinda gray. I just don't know how that comes about. The town looks about as good as it has ever looked. The Christmas lights and decorations are the best I have ever seen them. The stores are all decorated up and everything seems fine. My sweet little wife and I have not yet had our an­ nual Christmas Tree fight. The last couple of yean the spirit has gone out of the old Christmas Tree Fight anyway. I have lost so many yean in a row that I no longer have the will to win. 1 think I'll just ac­ cept it this year. Any time they warn to put the tree up I’m ready. Already I am trying to get in shape for the big New Yean day football watch. It takes a bit of train­ ing to be able to sit all day in front of the old idiot box and watch game after game after game. I’ve tried to get in shape but I always go to sleep about at halftime. Our News office has been turned into an art gallery for the Christmas season. Amy has asked local peorle involved in art to show their things at the office, think they are all for sale too. Many of them would made nice Christmas gifts.

Chien Publishing Agency Recently, I visited a Canadian veteran news re­ porter from the Far East who has stayed in Red China for the last 18 years. He mentioned some unbelievable facts about the Chinese Communist Cultural Revolution. According to him, it is totally made up of mid­ dle-school children with the age of between 8 to 16. During the height of their control, they brought their parents to public trial In many ca­ ses, they stoned their parents to death. They har­ assed and persecuted the principals and school superintendents. They liquidated 5? university presidents and physically tortured thousands of ed­ itors, professors, and writers. Most of all, they cut ten fingeis of an internationally famous piano player because she was not able to recit Chairman Mao's book. This Cultural Revolution lasted 25 months from August, 1966, to September. 1968. Finally Chair­ man Mao had to use the Red Army to force all the Red Guards back to the school. Now, according . these unhappy to this Canadian news re]. youth are try in to question Chairman Mao's Leadership because i Mao’s writing, he has stated die new things are always better than the older and the younger one must lead. Today, Chairman Mao is close to 80 years old. Even in Chinese tradition, we hardly can consider Chairman Mao is a young man. Therefore, the result of the Cultural Revolution maybe, is a good indication of the downfall of Chairman Mao. A CHRISTMAS GIFT TO PLEASE YOUR FRIENDS & RELATIVES!

Christmas cards need 6c stamps The Post Office Department has advised person: sending Christmas'cards that all cards weighing one ounce or less must carry six cents postage. In previous yean, unsealed cards without a writ­ ten message (only the signature of the sender) would be sent one cent less than first class postage. These would be delivered as third class mail, without the provision for forwarding or return if undeliverable. The postage rate legislation which went into ef­ fect last January raised the single rate third class postage to six cents for the first two ounces. Since virtually all greeting cards weigh less than an ounce, the first class and third class rates are, in effect, the same. Thus, the Post Office notes, all greeting cards bearing six cents postage which are undellverable as addressed shall be forwarded if a new address is available. The department stressed the importance of a re­ turn address to assure that undeliverable cards will be returned. This allows mailers to keep their a.d dress lists up to date.

Brenneman, East Lansing, Michigan, Exe­ cutive Director Michigan State Medical Society, Michigan Association of the Professions.) A blood bank is a rather modem concept in terms of the history of medicine and in terms of the his­ tory of civilization. There were no blood banks in the 19th century. In fact the blood bank at the Un­ iversity of Michigan was not begun until 1939. Ac­ tually the Russians get the credit for the whole idea of storing blood in one central location for issuance to the population as a whole. Many changes have occurred in clinical medi­ cine because of the presence and availability of a blood bank in the modern hospitaL Although function of the blood bank is still the storage of whole blood, other things are stored and prepared. Among these are platelets which is a frac­ tion of whole blood used in the clotting mechanism plasma compounds, including albumen, whole plas­ ma and various factors for treatment of hemophilia. Also commercial preparations in the blood bank are made from a large number of patients blood u­ nits for treatment of various clotting defects. Probably the largest impetus toward blood banks came from World War n and the Korean conflict because this made the entire population of the world aware of the urgent need for blood... blood proper­ ly typed and properly matched. Something like 13 to 14 million units of blood were given in the United States during the second world war. People gave blood at the various red cross centers throughout the United States. The blood was centrifuged and the plasma was separated from these units of blood and cooled. It was then processed and shipped overseas. Because of the risk of Hepatitis in the plasma, albumen was substituted for plasma in late 1944 because it has virtually no risk of hepatitis. Today, blood banks and their personnel also per­ form an educational function, do diagnostic func­ tions and advise on treatment of patients. The educational functions are primarily those of educating technologists so that they may learn how to properly handle blood in hospitals. But they also educate pathology residents and residents in hema tology so that they in turn may become medical di­ rectors of other blood banks. The diagnostic function of the blood bank is to find out what is wrong with the patients who may have one or more of various diseases regarding blood. One of the most vivid examples of this is the infant with hemolytic disease of the newborn, so-called erythroblastosis. In this instance the blood bank has to find what the antibodv is in the mother that will destroy the red cells of the infant. Also if there is an antibody present, the bank has to provide blood for the exchange transfusion that will occur shortly after the infant is delivered. More recently it has had to determine what the antibody is so that trans­ fusion may be given in the uterus of the mother. This requires the closest liaison between the obstretrician, pediatrician and the person in the blood bank. As soon as the baby is born the doctors are notified. They get a sample of the mother's blood, as well as'the baby's blood and obtain appropriate units of blood for the exchange transfusion. Since this is a new born infant they try to give relatively fresh blood. They match it with the mother’s blood, making sure that they are compatible. If It is com­ patible with the mother it will be perfectly suitable for the infant. ■_________ ' 1 Since dollars are not transfusable the doctors have to have blood and therefore depend on human be­ ings. A large pool of donors are registered with blood banks. As many as 1500 to 2000 are listed for a ’ single bank. These people are typed, not only in their ABO and RH systems but for a variety of other types and they co-operate at a very short notice for aonations. There are many other activities of blood banks but these are enough to illustrate their great impor­ tance in the health care of today’s world. Locals Mr. and Mrs. M. J.

Winter visit is nice at , Greenfield Village, Museum " They are?" That's the frequently surprised response many peo­ ple make when they hear that Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village are open during the winter months. Even people who have lived fairly close to the 260-acre snowplace of Americana often indi­ cate that they were unaware that visitors continue to tour the Village after the first snowflake* fly.' Actually, both the Museum and Village operate fof a shorter period daily during cold weather, but both are oneu daily except Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year* Day. • There is a switch, however, in the manner in which people go through the Village.

Carriage rides through the Village continue to be available from 9:15 to 4 p. m. every day except when there is sufficient snow to allow sleight to op­ erate.

Scramlin was not present at the meeting.) The lots belong to James Erwin who is an employee of the village, serving as superintendent of the street de­ partment. Erwin had asked that these lots be rezon­ ed in order that he might keep a pony in the area for his two children. However, some 30 residents of the area had petitioned the council not to rezone the area. No reasons were given in the petition, but a spokesman who had signed the petition, Richard El­ liston, stated that the signets preferred the area re­ main zoned as residential, and felt that rezoning these lots would weaken the structure of the zoning ordinance adopted last January. The Maple Valley School administration asked that a police officer be stationed at the WashingtonMain Street intersection to direct traffic when school is dismissed in the afternoon, thus enabling the buses to move efficiently at this point. Harold Christian­ sen said he would take steps to improve the situation, but that often the officer was on other business and was not available to cope with this particular prob­ lem. Two gasoline bids were received and opened a t the meeting. The Jerow Oil Company was the low bidder with a 0.1624 figure and was approved by the counciL The other bid, from the Gulf Oil Com­ pany, was for 0.20. 3. Water and sewer rates were discussed, but no ac­ tion was taken. The water tower is inadequate, and very old; there is need for construction of new water lines, and the work of completing sewer extensions needs to be finished. The council men realize it would be far better to replace several of the older water lines instead of making numerous repairs, but there just isn't money to do the work right now. The president suggested the trustees ponder various meth­ ods of bringing more money into the water and sew­ er departments and report at the next meeting. Considerable work has to be done on North Main Street because of a water leak at the Miss Dorothy Edmonds property. The clerk, Mrs. Ada Skedgell, was instructed to seek permission from the state of Michigan to go under M-66 to make the repairs. The Council approved $250 be paid to the Castle­ ton-Maple Grove Township Fire Board, and paid the general bills. Police Chief Donald Langham gave a detailed re­ port of activities in the ponce department from Oc­ tober 13 to December 13. In a special meeting December 6, the Council approved the transfer of the liquor license for the South End Food and Beverage, owned by Loren Ding­ man, to Charles Weiner of Kalamazoo, who is pur­ chasing the business. NUMBER 30 Captain Offley given Cross of Gallantry U.S. Air Fotes Captain Ronald D. Offley, son of Wayne T. Offley, Woodland, was recently decora­ ted with the Vietnamese Cross of Gallantry with Silver Star at Phu Cat AB, Vietnam. Captain Offley received the award for c o u r a geous and gallant action in Quang Ngai Province, Vietnam, from June 20 until June 30, 1968, when he flew numerous air strikes in support of friendly ground troops in battle with the enemy. The cap­ tain's actions contributed significantly to the a­ chievements obtained by the friendly forces. The F-100 Super Sabre pilot is a member of the 355th Tactical Fighter Squadron at Phu Cat. A graduate of Woodland Community HighSchool, Captain Offley received a BSE degree in cnemical engineering from the University of Michigan in 1964 and was commissioned upon completion of Officer Training School at Lackland AFB, Tex., the following year. The captain's wife, Eileen, is the daughter of Walter P. Hurd, 528 E. Francis, Hastings. Rev. R. Moeggenberg presents unusual program Approximately 35 members and guests attended the December meeting of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce. The meeting was held at the VFW Hall and a Christmas gift exchange took place also. George Vogt, president, conducted a brief busi­ ness meeting. A report of the Centennial Celebra­ tion progress was given. A discussion was held as to the possibility of holding a balloon ascension. This is being investigated. Two guests were present from the Baby Bliss Co. and they reported briefly on the progress in the Nash­ ville plant and about the future plans for the c o m pany in this community. Bill Hecker, as chairman of the nominating com­ mittee, reported that his committee suggested that the same officers be asked to continue for this next year. He stated that the Centennial planning might be more smoothly completed with these same off icers. Rev. Raymond Moeggenberg of St. Cyril's Catho­ lic Church in Nashville, and St. Edward's in Lake O­ dessa, was the guest speaker. He brought with him a sound track ano slides and presented a very unusual program. The stidps were of a trip he had taken re­ cently to Arizona and the sound track which accom­ panied these pictures contained a variety of musical selections, some reading of poetry, guitar music and singing as well as the reading of some parts of the scripture and a postion of a Mass. Father Moeggenberg spoke also to the group in re­ gard to the necessity for future planning for small communities such as Nashville and Lake Odessa. He said unless changes are made in small communities, to keep up with progress, etc., they may find that too soon they are becoming the slums for the larger cities which are growing out toward them. He also stated that by taking measures to see that they meet the requirements, small communities in many cases are eligible for financial assistance from the govern­ ment to help carry out projects of change and im­ provement. His brief remarks brought such a response of curi­ osity and interest from the members that many sug­ gested that he be asked to return to a meeting at a later date to give further information in regard to this type of action. �Council Proceedings. BACKSTREET BAROMETER November 26,1968 The regular meeting of the Village Council w as called to order with all present The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The following bills were read and the motion made by Scramlin and supported by Kenyon they be allow­ ed and orders drawn on treasury for same. bv jo'in boughton Our Christmas Tree is up and we didn't even have the start of the good old Christmas Tree argument this year. Up to the last couple of years Mrs. Boughton and I have had a ding dong of an argument each year about when the tree should be erected and decora­ ted, or whatever you do to a tree. For several years I have been of the opinion that the tree should go up on Christmas Eve and should be taken down just as soon after the big day as pos­ sible. Amy has always held to the notion that it should go up sometime the first of December and should stay up until all the needles fall off and there is nothing but a bunch of bare sticks standing in the cornet. When we were first married I had a chance of at least holding my own in the fight. It was a one-to-one affair, more or less. But whenthe kids came along I knew I was on the little end of it They teamed up with Amy and for a few years I kept up the good fight but each year found the tree going up sooner ana coming down later. This year it went up on Saturday and I don't give a darn u it doesn't come down till the Fourth of Ju­ ly. I've lost, and I'm smart enough to realize it INC. FUND B. R. Cuyler Cons.

Prints and Health Aid are two badges the girk are currently working to achieve. The couple was married in Fowlerville in 1898 by the bride’s father. At that time he was minister in a Fowlerville church. The couple started housekeeping on a farm in Ma­ ple Grove Township and within a snort time p u r chased Mr. Hanes' grandfather's farm located three miles southwest of Nashville near the McKelvey schooL They continued to live there until they re­ tired and moved to a home on State Street in Nash­ ville in 1940. When Mr. Hanes sold out, the farm had been in his family for 150 years. Both Mr. and Mrs. Hanes have exceptional m e m ories and enjoy reminiscing events which have o c curred over nearly 100 years. The farm work was done entirely witn horses, and Mrs. Hanes went into the field whenever needed. She helped in the hay field, in storing the hay and grain in the barn, and with whatever chores needed doing. Very seldom did they hire extra help. When asked if she ever wore anything but a dress to work with her husband, Mrs. Hanes replied, "Oh, never, with the exception of once when I put on overall pants to help paint the roof on the woodshed. " In addition to farming, Mt. Hanes also raised live­ stock, as was the custom in those days. "I bought my first car, a Model *T', in 1920,* said Mr. Hanes. "In all I owned two Fords, a Durant, and a Chevy." "We both worked hard, " he continued. "Saw both good and’ bad times, and didn't have much time for hobbies. We were members of the Maple Leaf Grange for a good many years, and I served as Mas­ ter for two years. " They can both recall that they had things ’^better" than their fathers, in the way of farm equipment. Their fathers used to cradle their grain "while we had a hay rake, and later a dump rake and loader" said Mr. Hanes. Now confined to a wheelchair, Mr. Hanes "would­ n't jive a hoot for TV” but spends many hours ____ rea ing. They both enjoy visiting with oth­ er residents at the Medical Facility. For many years Mrs. Hanes did much crocheting and embroid­ ery work. Mr. and Mrs. Hanes have a daughter, Mrs. Howard (Effie) Jones of Springfield Place, Battle Creek;two grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Dear Santa, I will like truck and jeep.

Let Santa shop right now, at a variety of stores (see the directory of more than 17,000 places that welcome MICHIGAN BANKARD), and charge his entire Christmas list By using MICHIGAN BANKARD, Santa will have a complete record of everything bought, where it was bought, and how much was paid for each item (he'll receive copies of each purchase with the monthly statement). That could come in handy should he wish to return or exchange anything after Christmas.

The Maple Valley News, Nashville, Michigan, Thursday, December 19, 1968 ■ MEMBER F.O.I.C. �. * Vermontville sponsoring home decorating contest School Board meeting held Ralph Frostic, state department of education, Monday evening discussed the state school bond loan program with the members of the Board of Educa­ tion of the Maple Valley district. Basically this program is set up to enable lower valuation school districts to construct buildings and still limit the total amount of millage levied for debt retirement. The state equalized valuation per pupil in the Ma­ ple Valley district is $6,700, which is comparative­ ly low as compared with figures throughout Michi­ gan. In any building program, whether to add class­ rooms or construct a new building, Frostic pointed out, it is best to project the student population for the next five years, plan for unlimited and quali­ fied bonds, and provide the state with estimated building and planning costs before presenting facts to the state for approval. He also said that building costs have increased 25 percent in the past two years, and they could be expected to increase in the f u ture. ' At the time the present junior-senior high school was built, about three years ago, the cost per square foot was $14. 00. Presently the cost per square foot for elementary classrooms is from $18. 00 to $22. 00 and for secondary buildings, $22. 00 to $28. 00. Frostic also indicated he did not see too much trou­ ble in the Maple Valley district having a loan ap­ proved if and when they decided to build. Before making any needs known to the public, the board will make a thorough study of all possibilities. The most pressing need at the present time is for el­ ementary space, and the board will compare the cost of additional classrooms with construction of a new building. At the Maplewood Elementary building in Vermontville, there is room at the west end for an addition. At the Fuller Street in Nashville there is an area for two rooms at the south end. At the Kellogg building in Nashville there is open area at the south end. The biggest advantage of a new building would be removing tne seventh graders from the junior-sen­ ior high school located half-way between Vermont­ ville and Nashville. Evaluation of operational costs of an additional building compared with additions to present buildings will be considered. There was some thought of using portable classrooms, but this does not appear to be the long range answer, is the con­ sensus of opinion of the board and administration. Al­ so to be given thorough study is construction of a bus garage.________________ ___________________ _____ HASTINGS FLOOR COVERING 123 West State Street The county intermediate office has paid the bal­ ance for the Type A Special Education Program and Speech Program not paid by the state department.

New laws prohibit youths under 16 yean of age from working away from their own farms in certain hazardous jobs involving tractor* and machinery. But the Michigan Sure University Cooperative Ex­ tension Service announced this week that area youths who want to try to qualify for exemption from some of the labor restrictions can do so by enrolling in the 4-H tractor program this winter. Beginning in January, 4-H tractor clubs all over the state will begin offering a course on tractor: safety and operation, plus special unit* on safety when operating other implement*. Two types of exemptions will be offered to youths over 14 year* of age. To qualify fot tractor exemp­ tion only, the youth must attend at least 80 hours of official instruction classes offered by the 4-H trac­ tor program and successfully pass both written and tractor driving skills test*. To qualify for machinery exemption, the youth must fulfill all the above re­ quirements. plus 20 more hour* of special machin­ ery instruction and pass written and skill* test* on these machine!, Any boy or girl under 16 who intends to work off hi* own farm next year should contact the local 4­ H Youth agent or the county Cooperative Extension Service office for further information on the pro­ gram. �WHEELER'S MARINE SERVICE NASHVILLE United fund leaden were honored at a luncheon, On Monday, (Dec.

Entered at the Post Office at Nashville, Michigan Barry County, as Second Class Matter EDITOR 4 PUBLISHERS John and Amy Boughton SUBSCRIPTION RATES Barry 4 Eaton Counties $3. 00 per year Elsewhere in United States |3. 50 per year The Director of Membership Relations, Norman Peterson of Detroit, led a discussion concerning milk promotion particularly from the viewpoint of price and production, afld advertising promotion and research. He spoke of new markets for Michi­ gan Milk producers in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and other states, and said that despite the fact some producers were going out of business the production has gone up during the past year. Following his informative talk the Barry-Eaton local members were asked to vote on four proposals in order that the Milk Producers Assocation would have a better understanding of how the members felt on certain questions. While the vote was simp­ ly a "straw vote" in reality, it did serve in learn­ ing the trend of area dairy producers. On the question, "If additional milk and dairy product advertising is to be done, the best and fair­ est means of financing currently available seems to be contributions, at a level fixed by farmers, di­ rectly from the superpooL The money would go to the American Dairy Association, and ADA would have to agree to discontinue its '2# voluntary' pro­ gram for superpool shippers. " Those present favor­ ed this method, 20 to £, Asked their opinion on this question, "If Con­ gress passes a new law, and it is signed by the Pres­ ident, there might be (sometime in the future) a possibility of advertising check-off under Federal Milk Marketing Orders. Since dairy farmers would have to propose and approve such a step, they would have control of funds so collected. If and when it becomes available, would you favor this method financing?" Those present were divided on this question, with exactly 50 percent voting "yes,” and " no. ” When asked "Should another vote be taken on a Michigan Dairymen's Marketing program? the ans­ wer was better than two to one * no. s The final question asked was " Michigan Milk Producers Association had its own advertising pro­ gram for many years. All lower Peninsula members contributed one cent per hundred weight (on milk) to it. Do you favor continuation of this program at the present level?" Their answer was definitely "yes. " The second part of the question "Doyou fa­ vor expansion of this program?" and only a little o­ ver SO percent of those dairymen present said "yes." Mrs. Joan Baker of Battle Creek who is active with one of the Dairy Councils in the state, talked to the group on "Depth Selling" and of her work with the schools and various other groups in pro­ moting increasing the uses of milk. Bruce Beam of Hastings, who is the Barry County Dairy Specialist, introduced Mrs. Beverly (Ferris) Hain, former Hastings resident who now lives in Carson City, and she showed slides taken while she was an IFFY exchange student in India. Among the special guests introduced was Sure Representative Stanley Powell of Ionia.

But this Monday on the 18th of March was not to be an ordinary day. Elizabeth's school day passed without incident. She attended her last class, then left school at 3:40 p. m. to walk home, a two-mile route through blossoming orange groves. She never arrived home. Somewhere along the lonely street, Elizabeth Ern­ stein vanished. There are no clues to her whereabouts, or even to what happened to the 14-vear-old girl, other than a report from a Redlands businessman who was driving through the area. He thought he saw a girl resembling Elizabeth walking toward the corner of the street on which she livei To her parents, Norman and Ruth Ernstein, the months of uncertainty and anxiety over their m is sing daughter "are the deepest anguish a person can go through. It is a shock so deep you become wooden, ■ the mother explained. ' The Ernsteins are; appealing nationwide for help in locatir their dai.lighter. ~ Ernstein, a chemical engineer at >ckheed in Redlands, ... and his rwife, a psychiatric social worker, have posted a $5, 000 re­ ward for information that will solve the mystery of their daughter's disappearance. They have vowed: "We will not rest until we know. " Neither parent has rested since that first long night when their young daughter failed to come home. They have tracked miles through orange groves, fields, foothills, and canyons in and around the Redlands area. They have followed every lead, no matte: bow slight, in the search for Elizabeth. "I can face the daytime better than the night, " the distraught mother said: "At night I find myself saying: 'Is she safe? Is she warm? Is she fed?.... and finally... is she alive?" When Elizabeth, nicknamed "Liz" by her friends, left for school that March morning, she had only 250 with her. She was dressed in a blue dress with white flowers.-tennis shoes and a dark-olive cordu­ roy coat. Around her neck she wore a small gold chain with a pendant gold and blue star. Enroute home, she carried a red algebra book and a blue looseleaf notebook. Neither lias been found. Elizabeth is five feet, five-inches tall, weighs 105 pounds and had brown hair and brown eyes. She is one of five Ernstein children. The family lost one of these, a son, to polio in 1952. . "This, the second tragedy in our lives, is even greater because of the uncertainty, " the desperate father said in his appeal to end the nightmare. I can accept anything, even the worst,' which I'm re­ signed to, biit I must know. " Any information concerning young Liz Ernstein should be reported promptly to this newspaper or to Capt. Charles Callahan.

"The main objective was to get acquainted, and we did. " Visitors began to arrive at 9:30 a. m. and they were welcomed by three young members of the society: the Misses Marilyn Fox, Kathy Olger, and Shelly Van De Vasse, of Applewood Drive, Lans%ob Rochester and Glenn Wickham, managers of the shelter were gracious hosts and the neat appearance of the building testified to the hours spent in preparation. They answered questions concerning the shelter and explained how they tried to find the owners of lost pets. "Usually people wait two or three weeks before they call us, " Bob said. "If folks would call and describe the animal as soon as it is missing, we'd be more apt to find it. " Several members of the Humane Society baked cookies which were served with coffee by Mrs. Paulita Lisle, vice Pres., of Potterville. Mrs. Rochester and daughter, Candis, were also kept busy helping out wnerever it was needed.

Thursday, December 26, 196k �Anticipate record number winter sports fans Michigan, mid-America's leading winter vaca­ tion destination, is preparing for an anticipated rec­ ord number of winter sports enthusiasts again this year, according to the Michigan Tourist Council, w ith the cooperation of Mother Nature, it is e x pected that last season's record of 300, 000 skiers, who spent $30 million will be surpassed. Getting the snow to Michigan's slopes usually pre­ sents no problem. Except for a few isolated spots in New England, Michigan traditionally has more snow­ fall than any other state east of the Rockies. The Great Lakes, which moderate the climate, making the winters milder and the summers cooler, serve to trigger the dumping of the soft white flakes that cover the ground and provide recreation for thou*sands of eager snow-fans. Ski buffs follow the snow to Michigan in ever increasing numbers. Council field representatives report high attendance at pxe-season winter sports shows with increased interest in Michigan offerings. Skiers this season will be visiting the 79 fully-de­ veloped Michigan winter sports area* which offer more than 600 challenging slopes and runs for. be­ ginners and experienced skiers alike. More than 60 chair lifts and 325 rope tows, T-bars and pomalift* in the state's winter resort areas made the task of getting back up the hill part of the fun. Several Michigan ski area* are complete village* in themselves, providing not only skiing, but affili­ ated service*. Many areas offer either overnight ac­ commodation* or recommend nearby lodges to fit almost any pocketbook and taste. Dini--------canv be an experience long to be remembered, w: unusual appointment* and services, but for those with tight­ er budgets, cafeteria or snack shop meals are pro­ vided. Clothe* oft' proclaim the man, but even mote— the woman. Modem ski clothes make girl watching on the slopes as popular a pastime as it is on the beaches. Ski shops which offer the latest in equip­ ment and clothing are operated at several Michigan resort*, . Skiing in Michigan is not just for the well-equip­ ped, a* anyone can enjoy a relaxing vacation at a ski resort. More than one half of the resort* listed in die Michigan Winter Sports Map, ju*t published by the Tourist Council, offer rental equipment as well as individual or group ski instructions at reas­ onable prices. So the skier can pick the slope best suited to his abilities, slopes are designated as beginners, nov­ ice, intermediate and expert. After a day of skiing fun in the crisp Michigan air, the delights of " apres ski" sociability take over. Many areas feature dining from hamburgers to gour­ met cuisine, entertainment, dancing, heated swim­ ming pools and lighted ice rinks. Most have cock­ tail lounges where the skier* can socialize. Often, group singing begin* spontaneously in front of an open fireplace. While a few resorts listed on last year's map are not in current operation, four new listings have been added this year. Lost Pine* Lodge, at Harietta, 14 miles west of Cadillac, has two ski runs and a toboggan hill in addition to ski trails. The facilities also include snowmobile trail* and rentals, an ice rink, lodging a dining room and bar. Russell's Ridge, five miles west of Hart, features a ski slope with rope tow, snowmobile trail* and a shelter house with a snack bar. Newaygo County Winter Park, three mile* north of Newaygo, lists two lighted toboggan run* with a ski slope, skating rink and snowmobile trail* a* well a* a shelter bouse and a snack bar. A new toboggan area has been added this year. Two miles east of US 12 on M-50, in Michigan's Irish Hill*, near Cambridge Junction. Frontier Mountain ha* 8 lighted toboggan runs, a lounge and a snack bar. Hay ride* and sleigh ride* are also of­ fered. The resort is open weekend* and holidays, or by appointment weekdays. Also new this year, but not included in the 1968­ 69 Winter Sports Map is Timberline Ski Resort, lo­ cated seven mile* south of Mio. The new winter sports facility feature* three slope* and one tow, and is open weekends only. For the convenience of ikiers. Timberline offers a snack bar, ski school, shop and rental equipment. In addition to skiers, other winter sports enthus­ iasts will participate in such winter vacation activ­ ities a* snowmobiling, hunting, ice fishing, and out-door festivals. Ice boating, which combines the the thrills of speed with the skill of navigating and mlaritv on Michifestival* are be­ held at Houghton Lake at Baw Beese Lake, ng, winter carnivals and winter camping are high on the list of popular Michigan winter-time activities.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION BONDING FOR MARS A $435 million state bonding proposal may be in­ cluded on the November ballot. The proposal is a first step in cleaning up the state's polluted lakes, rivers and streams and would provide additional funds for recreation purposes. Bills have been introduced in both houses of the Legislature to put the proposal before voters. The is­ sue is promoted by a committee called, "MichiganAmerica's Recreation State. " MARS points outthat the proposed $435 million is not enough to complete the job of water cleanup and recreational needs. It is estimated that more than $1. 2 billion would be needed to eliminate the pollution problem* in the state with an additional $437 million for expanded recreation facilities. The committee has worked closely with the Gov­ ernor's office, the Conservation Department and various legislators. It realizes that the bonding re­ quest, while not sufficient to solve the problems, is both realistic and a step in the direction of pollu­ tion control. No new taxes would be required to float the 10­ year bonding, MARS is quick to point out. Two state bond issues, the Korean Veterans' Bonus and the Hospital Bond Redemption Fund, will be paid off in 1970 and 1971, so annual payments of these two issues could be diverted to the proposed Clean Water and Recreation bonds. This would leave a­ bout $11 million per year to be paid from other sources. MARS suggests this balance be paid from state income tax revenue or other general fund re­ ceipts. It notes, however, that the matter of paying off bonds rests entirely with the Legislature. Lieutenant Governor William G. Milliken said that the bonds could be sold at an interest rate of 4-4 1/2% With construction costs and land costs rising at an annual rate of 7-10% Milliken said that action is needed as soon as possible. Only $70 million of the entire $435 million would be at the disposal of the state. The remain­ ing $365 million would be used for'match-money programs with local and federal programs. Under the proposed plan the federal government would contribute $181 million and local govern­ ment $157 million. Thus, total funds available for water cleanup and recreation would amount to some $723 million. Of this total, $155 million would be spent for recreation purposes, and $568 million for clean water. Funds tabbed for water pollution control would be used to help local communities build 210 new water treatment plants and install additional sewers and storm water control systems. Completion of the program is estimated at 1980. Recreation funds, with the exception of $70 mil­ lion, would go towards shared-cost grants so local governments could build playgrounds, parks, re­ creation centers and other facilities. The money under state control would qualify Michigan for federal match-money programs in wildlife, fish­ eries and state forestry. There should be much publicity on the proposed bonding between now and November if the Legis­ lature puts the issue on the fall ballot. MARS is organized into various committees and has the sup­ port of many state agencies, most notably the Conservation Department. Committee members have been told that "selling" the proposal to vot­ ers will not be an easy task. However, Milliken stated, "If people have an opportunity to become fully aware of the opportun­ ities of these programs, I am sure they will ap­ prove them."

But he pointed out that "year* of neglect'' have brought serious conditions to many lakes and rivers. Lake Michigan is aging at 300-500 tiroes its nor­ mal rate because of pollution, he said. Other wa­ terway* are as bad or worse. Recreation is tied in closely with ample supplies of clean water. The issue is an important one and should be of concern to every resident of the state. The question is not really whether steps should be taken to clean up our water. It ia whether this is the best program available. who foR MEN of EVERy lANd ANd RACE Became tIie Child of BcihlEhEM Mess you ANd youRs This ChRiSTMASTidE VOGT FUNERAL HOMES Nashville A Vermontville aght bwth defects ... join HECKER INSURANCE AGENCY the MARCH OF DIMES I!

Ferris State College and Wolverine World Wide of Rockford, in cooperation with the Big Rapids Chamber of Commerce and Big Rapids and Reed City Industries, will stage a special course for couples on the brink of retirement. The eight-session program has been included in Ferris’ winter quarter offerings ot regular courses. First class is scheduled for Jahuary 12. Purpose of the program is to help individuals make the best possible preparation for retirement by considering the role of work and retirement in America--highlighting family and living arrange­ ments, physical and mental health, living on so­ cial security and pensions, making the dollar stretch, legal affairs of older people, and the good use of leisure time. Program coordinator is Dr. John Taylor, head of the FSC Social Science De­ partment,. "For more than a year, " Dr. Taylor pointed out, "Wolverine World Wide has been concerned about this employee problem. Last year Wolverine held its first retirement program. For a number of years Ferris has offered special courses for the retired and special rates for those who are senior citizens. It is only natural, then, that our two interests should merge." Primary arrange menu for the sessions have been made by Gene Curtis, Director of Employee Re-■ lations, Wolverine World Wide; Peter Holub, Di­ rector of Community Adult Education for Ferris; Richard Allen, fjOKCAP Aging Specialist; and Dr. Taylor, who is also chairman of the Mecosta County Council of Aging and secretary of the Mich­ igan Society of Gerontology. Area industries have been invited to send at least one and possibly two workers’and their spouses. A maximum of ten couples will be allowed to en­ roll for the first program. Dr. Taylor said; however, if interest develops, the program will be repeated as necessary. Cooperating Big Rapids and Reed City industires are Central Concrete, Hanchett Manufacturing Co.

WI5-2766, Hastings FRANCE SQUIRES 013-3173, Nashville �MSU was credited to not be ready for another year and there is no firm indication when, or if. the osteopathic college will get beyotu the planning stage. Many believe the MSU request for expansion to a foak-year medical school should be considered on ita own merit in light of the recognized dire need for doctors in Michigan. NTtKPA.E By ELMER E. WHITE Michigan Press Association COSTLY DELAY Michigan is sadly lacking in docton for its citi­ zens. There is no hope of meeting the need unless immediate steps are taken to expand medical.education facilities. To make marten worse, an important recommen-dation by a blue-ribbon committee to the State Board of Education was recently ignored in a four to four vote on establishing a four-year medical school at Michigan State Univenity. , The tie had the effect of refusing the special com­ mittee’s recommendation that MSU's present twoyear human biology program be expanded to a full medical training coune. Board members themselves appointed the special committee to deal with the expansion of medical education in Michigan as a broad concept and the MSU plan as a specific request but in context with the state's total needs. In essence the committee recommended immed­ iate steps be taken to expand and improve the two existing medical schools and approve without delay MSU's request to offer an M. D. Degree program.

Potential unemployment caused by cuts in the var­ ious programs might threaten the continued prosper­ ity of Michigan's economy. Cities are screaming because of announced decreases in spending for lo­ cal urban renewal and poverty relief programs. State highway officials throughout Michigan breathe heavily because of the shorter supply of funds to complete road construction plans. Many programs, in other states as well as Mich­ igan, are heavily dependent for their existence on specified percentages of federal contributions. Every year the legislature is asked to consider ex­ pansion of some existing state-federal programs and creation of new ones. This year serious thought must be aimed at these proposals. No one cares to guess when the tight federal money situation will loosen, but how to reduce spending is a problem which must be faced. S.

This photograph shows Baer (on the right) with a Farm Manager and a Seed Corn Research Agronomist looking at one of the fields of com at the Manchester farm. HE THINKS BIC WHERE CORN’S CONCERNED ©1967 Rural Gravure The King of Corn! Real Shorties that are tough and take thick planting in narrow rows Modern corn fanning demands varieties that will take higher populations, narrow rows, higher fertilization, and specialized mechanical harvesting. DeKalb’s XL Single and Three-Way Crosses meet this demand. They’re tougher, shorter. They stand, com­ bine easily and yield BIG! In 1967, go au the way with DEKALB XL Corn-the greatest improvement in corn since hybrids. MORE FARMERS PLANT^jj^ THAN ANY OTHER BRA ■you could fill a combine hopper with all the articles that have been written about high population planting, narrow rows, heavy fer­ tilization and ample use of herbi­ cides and insecticides. These topics are featured through­ out the Cornbelt But few farmers have carried these improved prac­ tices the extent that Elmer Baer has on his 1,250 acres near Manchester, Iowa. Baer tried them all this year, and got good results — a whopping 140 bushel average on the entire acre­ age. Better than 200,000 bushels of corn! Baer has some firm convictions on com growing, and puts them all into practice at Manchester Farms, Inc. From planting to harvesting to fall plowing, every method is the most up-to-date. Encouraged by good results in the ’65 season, Baer aimed even higher in 1966. From fertilizer to plant population, he put down everything his soil could support. “We tried a lot of new ideas on a large scale this year, and got a good idea of how each one measures ufy” says Baer. “For one, we varied our populations depending on the seed we used and on the width of the row. Our first 500 acres were planted with 28,000 to 30,000 kernels, and we got a final stand of 25,000 to 27,­ 000 plants. “On the 20-inch rows, we planted at 32,000 and, because of high germ­ ination, those fields had a stand of better than 30,000 plants per acre. On our last 250 acres, we dropped the population to between 22,000 and 24,000, and got about 22,000 - stalks. “For the first time this year, we used only one brand of com . . . DeKalb. The DeKalb people have stressed the things we want in our com, so we went all the way with them. * “Over 85% of our corn is XL-45, so you can see how that short stalk hybrid rates with us. We planted four other DeKalb varieties at var­ ied populations to check them all out” Normal planting time in the Man­ chester, Iowa area is traditionally mid-May, but Baer started planting on April 26. By May 5, 400 acres of 30-inch corn was in the ground. k Then wet weather slowed the pace so that only 500 acres were planted by May 15. The 20-inch com was the next to be planted. And the 500 acres were put in from May 17 to 25. This left only 250 acres to plant. But wet weather hit again, and it took until June 2 to complete planting. The total fertilization program in the spring was heavy. Average per acre allowance on the 1,250 acres were: 225 to 250 lbs. of nitrogen, 90 to 110 lbs. of phosphate, and 210 lbs. of potash. Seventy percent of the totai was applied pre-plant and 30% after planting. On two-thirds of the land, 750 acres, a liquid application of 18-46-0 was applied at the rate of 225 lbs. per acre. On 500 acres, a combina­ tion of 11-34-0 was applied at the rate of 300 to 350 lbs. And, 350 lbs. of 0-0-60 was applied in dry form on all of the acres. As soon as the com is harvested, large tractors with plows and disks move into the Manchester fields. Baer feels fall plowing can greatly increase a field’s yield capacity. �Weed control got close attention too. Atrazine was applied pre-plant with a liquid fertilizer on 950 acres. On the remaining 300, it was mixed with oil and an ester at the rate of 5 lbs. of Atrazine per acre and ap* plied when weeds were one to three inches high. “Despite the wet spring, we were able to control weeds on 1,250 acres chemically with better results than we could have gotten on 400 acres using a cultivator,” states Baer. Insects were handled with an ap­ plication of 10 lbs. of Aldrin applied behind the planter. Baer found very little damage from insects this year '“but is keeping a trained eye out for next year, since heavy northern rootworm infestation is expected in his area. Minimum tillage was emphasized as much as possible in the Baer op­ eration. “We used a disk to incor­ porate some of the Atrazine before planting, and 200 acres of 30-inch corn was just plow-planted,” says farm manager Dan Driscoll. “We planted our 20-inch corn with a new Allis Chalmers 12-row tillage plant­ er, and no other disk was used ex3 cept with the nitrogen application.” Baer contends that no matter how many precautions you take or how many new methods you use, “High yields won’t materialize unless you harvest early. In high yielding corn, you can lose as much as 30 bushels an acre by waiting too long to har­ vest.” His theory on early harvest was well demonstrated this year. Com< bines moved into his 30-inch corn on September 16, and by the 19th they had 60 acres harvested. “We had to move them from field to field, be­ cause all the corn wasn’t dry yet,” says Driscoll. “By the 24th of Sep­ tember, we had 25,000 bushels of wet corn harvested from 175 acres.” Harvested corn is taken to one of the Manchester farms continuous grain dryers, where it is dried and stored until favorable market prices prevail. But the story doesn’t end there. As the combines completed their . work on the first 300 acres, they were soon followed by tractors with plows and disks. It’s Baer’s belief Applying up-to-date methods yielded an average of HO bushels on 1,250 acres for Manchester Farms, Inc. that the more land that can be fallplowed, the earlier corn can be plant­ ed the following spring. “I’m convinced that fall plowing can mean a 10 to 15 bushel per acre increase over spring-plowed land,” Baer says .“In 1964, on many farms that I know of north of Bradford, Illinois, fall-plowed land yielded double the corn of spring-plowed land.” ' At the same time, lime is spread on the fields with trucks and then plowed in. “I’m a strong believer in using plenty of lime,” Baer declares. “Getting the soil to the right pH level is important for a good corn crop.” Because of his awareness of new approaches in farming and his will­ ingness to adapt to them, Baer has proven that conscientious farming pays off. ‘ During the growing year, fertilizer, herbicide, insecticide and seed people and interested farmers con­ gregated on the Manchester farm and talked com. Sitting on the fender of the car conversing with such a group is farmer Baer. A Visit with Rabin Pullin, Jasper County, Indiana “We couldn’t build this $20,000 structure if we couldn't master health problems." “Digestive health is a real complex problem. I think it faces the entire industry.” “If we have good-doing pigs at 8 weeks, they’ll almost certainly be good at 12 weeks... or 6 months.” “With TNT, scours control has been phenomenal.99 Rabin Pullin’s operation is a regular stop for Midwest farmers on swine tours. Here’s why he uses TNT on the 2,900 hogs he sells from 325 litters: “An enteritis condition would affect, in varying degrees, between half to two-thirds of our pigs. It wasn’t enough to put us out of business. But it was aggravating. It would affect gains... and profits. In extreme cases, we’d lose two weeks to market. “Then we used TNT. And, frankly, we just haven’t had enough problems in 5 con­ secutive groups of pigs to even consider. We have fewer tailenders ... fewer runts. Ben­ efits extend throughout the growing period. “I’d get into hot water if I said TNT would cure every man’$ troubles. But I’d recom­ mend it to anyone who has had chronic problems. I know we’re go­ ing to continue using it.” TNT worked TRIPLE-ACTING for Rabin Pullin. It’ll work for you. NEO-TERRAMYCIN (naomycin-oxytatracyciina) �For the past two years, a Corn-Soybean Clinic has made a winter tour of the Midwest, showing to capacity crowds of Top Farmers, most of them enthusiastic about get­ ting a complete story in a single day. The 1967 version, on the road January 6 through February, promises new and exciting information along with a run-down on how last years advice worked out. f\\f D E /\IK I There is much to telh 1966 was a wild year. One of the worst K J I r» I I Bl droughts in history hit a large part of the hot production area.' w Top producers like Clyde Hignt in corn and John Reiser Jr. in I beans were hit with almost impossible conditions. They will report in films at all clinics and will attend many in person. Ag chemicals faced many challenges. Rain and cold weather threw planting off schedule. Drought and extreme heat followed. Improper application of chemicals caused losses. We learned a good deal about fertilization during 1966, not only in corn but also in beans. Weed control was mainly responsible for increased soybean yields in the past several years. Now it looks as if high fertility, narrow rows and better seed will help to really break the yield barrier, thanks to pioneering by men like Reiser. • The rush to narrow rows in both beans and corn has produced many interesting results. Many farmers changed over completely. Others teamed up to use one set of' equipment on test acreage. Sunlight received new attention, our friends in Canada leading the way. Planting sched­ ules, population and spacing, even shape of plants will be changed to make fuller use of light and water. The marketing story is exciting too. We are selling for cash overseas, but also running into real competition from Other nations and other crops. Check the map and locations at the right and be sure to attend the nearest ComSoybean Clinic. Your hosts, Allis-Chalmers, DeKalb, Amchem, Shell Chemical, Behlen, various fertilizer companies, local dealers and community boosters.

NOT IT RUN YOU • by Lynn Dorris T>eds to make, dishes to do, toys to pick up, floors to sweep, laundry to sort, and clothes to fold: my housework seemed to be a never ending chore. Finally I woke up to the fact that the house was running me, not vice versa. I didn’t have a minute to call my own. That’s the day I decided to make some changes. I came to the conclusion that time is valuable and needs to be budgeted as well as money. To give an incentive to getting things done in a half day which I usually dragged through the whole day, I gave myself three hours in the afternoon to work on a pet project; gardening, sewing, or whatever happens to be my big interest at the moment. I have found that it helps to treat time like money. If I save my time for a purpose then I have a reason for being more efficient One of the first things I realized is that I couldn’t possibly be perfect in every phase of homemaking. To my family, having an immaculately clean house isn’t as important as my having some time to spend with them so I forgot about trying to keep up with the model homemaker down the block and starting concentrating on what was important to my own family; a fairly neat home, good food, and time to be together! I went to work avoiding work. I started to put things away as soon as I was through using them. The clutter doesn’t build up then. This only takes a minute and is one of my best work savers. To make it easier for family members to make less work, I provided mud scrapers and mats for wiping feet I bought attractive coatracks for the children’s room to make it easy for them to hang up their own coats and caps and to get them when they want This saves many steps as well as time. I also bought inexpensive clothes hampers for each bedroom closet This makes it easy for everyone to put dirty clothes away as soon as they are taken off. To make housework more pleasant I started dressing up to work. I started getting up a half hour earlier each morning so that I could shower, comb my hair, and put on make-up before breakfast If I wait until after breakfast I find it too easy to drift through the day without doing it Now, I’m fresh as a daisy at breakfast and it seems to brighten my whole family’s day. An old problem of mine was starting more than I could handle, like watering the lawn, baking a cake, starting the laundry, and cleaning the living room at the same time. I usually ended up with a flooded driveway, a burned cake, and the living room chores unfinished. Now I start only what I can handle. I’ve tried to get every housekeeping chore down to a system, figuring out the quickest and most efficient way of doing it Before leaving the bedroom I make the bed, pick up, and dust Then I head for the bathroom to get myself ready for the day. As soon as breakfast is over I get the dishes done, wipe off the table and countertops, sweep the floor, and take out the trash. Then I start a load of laundry before tackling the living room. I have found that a routine pick up and vacuuming of each room each day actually saves time and work. By lunch time I have all the rooms finished and the laundry done. As soon as lunch is over I go through the process of straightening the kitchen once more; then I start the ironing. This is one task I never let myself get behind in. While I’m ironing, baking, or scrubbing I try to think about ‘ pleasant things. If I let myself dwell on the job my husband hasn’t finished, idle gossip of the neighbors’, or criticisms from the in-laws’, I can easily work myself into a real stew so instead I fill my mind with pleasant thoughts and the work seems to go much faster. The housework is usually finished by two p.m. and I have free time to devote to my pet project until time to start dinner. What I use this time for isn’t as important as the feeling that I run my house. It doesn’t run me! Earliest TOMATO JUNG’S FAMOUS WAYAHEAD...BIG RED !?

Right after Christmas this year the town was filled with little boys who were boldiag devices to their ears and mouths. If you wonder what is going on I'll tell you... These kids are talking to each other by remote control It seems that all kids today have sea of walkie talkies and they are jamming up the airwaves with their childish small talk. I assume it is childish small talk. The way things arc going today, it just could be that the little jokers-are talking with their broken and are giving buy and sell instructions. Perhaps they are all' in contact with the leader of the gang (whoever that might be) who has alerted them to stand by for the countdown on the latest riot. Back in my day kids used to shout at each other. I can remember at a very early age standing on the curb and shouting insula at the kid across the street. He would holler insula and threaa back at me. We were both safe because neither of us was allowed to go across the street without permission from our parents and even if'we were inclined to ask we knew the old folks would not agree to a trip across the street to start a fight. That is the trouble with adults. They cannot see the point in starting a fight across the street but they see nothing nuts about going to some foreign country to start a fight. Well anyway, we kids used to carry on all our communications in loud shouts. As a matter of fact, the mothers of the neighborhood would sug­ gest we go over on the next street to play. The mothers from the next street bad already sent their kids to our street. Our neighborhood was a very noisy one. When we were quiet for a few minutes the mothers would conclude that we were up to no good and would choose a delegate to track us down to put a sRpp to whatever quiet and devilish activity we were en­ gaged in. The mothers used to do their share of shouting too. They would step to the back door and in a loud mother voice screech out the name of the ing distance before the third call you were ok. Should a big truck pass and drown outthe shouts of the mother in time the kid was on fair ground. If you suspected the call was for something good, like she was going to give you a nickle to go to the show, or she had candy to give you, you answered immediately. The law of averages was against this though. As 1 said, our neighborhood was full of shouting. I guess they just didn't have quiet neighborhoods in those days. I remember one evening when a bunch of us were playing and Donald's father called him to come borne. Donald answered immediately and ran for borne. Just then Leonard's dad jumped out from be­ hind a hedge and clipped his son one along side the head. "Did you see how quick Donald answer­ ed when his father called? Why don't you do that? that?" "But I really didn't hear you call, " Leonard said. "I didn't", the father answered, "but even if I had you wouldn't have answered Immediately. " It looks as if all these things have changed. Now when a kid wants to insult another he gets on the walkie-talkie and says "WZ24X to QT66F - You ate a fink. Over and out. " When a mother wants her offspring she talks into a little box.

While realizing that some development is necessary, they want to see most of the island park retained as wilderness. On the national front, this plea is made by the National Wilderness Society, long active in such watchdog capacity. On the bomefront, Michi­ gan United Conservation Clubs, composed of more than 360 conservation and sportsmen's groups, is supporting the wilderness aspect for Isle Royale. True wilderness is something that is tast disappear­ ing from Michigan. 'Isle Royale National Park is still pretty much the way nature made it but there is a question of bow long it can retain its unique quality. With human pressures bearing down hard on all public agencies to develop recreation for as many people as possible. Isle Royale is threatened. Here, indeed, is a vicious cycle. A lovely area is set aside with the intent of keeping it in a natural state. The public is attracted by the beauty and asks that an increasing number of conveniences be pro­ vided so more and more people can enjoy the attrac­ tion. Soon, so many concessions are made to provide comfort and convenience for the visiting public that the wilderness aspect which attracted them in the first place is destroyed. This very pattern has been followed time after time in some of our other na­ tional parks to such an extent that they amount to little more than honky-tonks now. The National Park Service is now casting an eye at Isle Royale to see what can be done about great­ er development there to provide the public with more convenience. At a public hearing scheduled for Jan 31 in the Memorial Union Building of Michigan Technologi­ cal University in Houghton, the value of wilderness will be discussed in detail Conservation groups will urge the National Park Service to retain 119,618 acres of Isle Royale in its natural state of wilder­ ness. This will exclude five shoreline areas al­ ready in use as harbors, camping sites, resorts with lodges operated by the park service, a powerline corridor to Mount Ojibway, all of Blake Point and Passage Island on the northeast end. Isle Royale is now a virtual wilderness containing numerous small inland lakes lying between ridges and the remains of prehistoric copper mines once worked by an unknown people. A herd of moose is kept in almost perfect balance by a pack of timber wolves, themselves a wilderness symboL w The only practical way to reach Isle Royald is by boat from Houghton, Coppet Harbor and Minnesota during the summer months. Once there, no auto­ mobiles are avail«hio for there are no roads. Trans­ portation is by hiking, which means crowded con­ ditions are unknown. Isle Royale is truly unique among Michigan re­ creation areas. Conservationists intend to see that it retains its precious wilderness values. We can't afford to do otherwise. Rodney Pennock wins outstanding award The Barry County Holstein Association held its annual meeting at the Maple Leaf Grange hall in Maple Grove and highlighting this meeting were the presentation of the outstanding youth a­ ward, election of officers, and a guest speaker from Ireland. Rodney Pennock, 17 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Pennock of Nashville was the winner of the outstanding youth award. Rodney has been involved in dairy projects for eight years and is the owner of five purebred Holsteins. He has shown at the Barry County fair, the state 4-H show, and at local and district black and white shows. Officers elected for 1967 were Robert Gaskill of Dowling, president; Harlan Blair of Lake Odessa, vice-president; and Hubert Long of Woodland, secretary- treasurer. James Flanagan, a graduate student in dairy breeding at Michigan State University whose nome is in the Irish Republic, was the main speaker of the evening. His topic was "Dairying in Ireland."

THEY CAN NEVER BEATTM BARGAINS OFFERED BY BRIGGS HARDWARE With the ice fishing season underway, follovers of this winter sport are talking about "tnousies,” "com borers,” "crane fly larvae,” and other strange creatures. Here are some of those popular conservation pieces for baiting fish in the winter. "Mousies,” upper left, are one of the most available baits while minnows, top center, remain a* standby fish-getters. Mayfly wigglers, bottom center, are an excellent winter bait. They are found in quiet lagoon areas along streams, and can be dug by fishermen for winter use. Wax worms, lower tight, are also very popular as bait. As a sidelight to this menu of winter fish baits Conservation Department cartoonist Oz Warbach has sketched two important reminders to ice fishermen: 1) Don’t forget to properly print your name and address on your fish shanty; and 2) Keep litter off the ice. —Mich.

Neville s ests it is time to level off this area In short, Neville suggests it is time for MSU to consider the essential question of whether it is as good as it should be. NEW ANGLE will soon be made for one of the oldin the 14-year history of Michigan others problems. The pan several yean nearly SOO communities have taken part in the exchange. A similar num­ ber is expected for the 1967 observance the third week in May. Monday of Michigan Week is designated as Our Government Day, * when various departments of government at all levels hold open bouses and spe­ cial recognition is given to public officials. For several yean, participating communities have been given the option of being exchanged in population classifications or in a general grouping. Plans are made early for the exchanges so that participating towns know who their guest will be and committees and the citizenry can give a royal welcome to the visiting dignitary from another Michigan community. Between introduction and final approval, the bill is designated by number and/or title. It is read first and second title, usually by title only, when it is formally introduced. At this time it is referred to a committee for study.’ If approved by the committee, it is brought back to the membership of the house where it was introduced. Debate first informal and then the "third reading" or formal stage. If a bill passes by recorded vote after third read­ ing, it goes to the second bouse for the same pro­ cedure of committee consideration and floor de­ bate and vote and is sent to the Governor. Confusion can arise if a bill fails in either bouse. It can be re-referred to committee and brought out again at a later date in the session, or it can be re­ considered for an additional vote.

The meeting will begin at 8:00 pm and will be held at the home of Mrs. Keith McMillen on Reed Street. Members and guests are particularly urged to attend. ' Jane Shoup became interested in painting the colorful Hex Signs several years ago and has made an extensive study into the meanings of the symbols and the origin of the various signs. She will come to the meeting equipped with many samples of her work, all bright, colorful and interesting. Most of the signs are painted with acrylic pains in bright colon. They are filled with symbolic fig­ ures. Little red birds, distle finks, are much in evi­ dence and hearts often show up to symbolize love. Oak leaves and acorns, stars, and tne sun are often shown. These symbols all have meanings and Jane will tell of this. Her Hex Signs have travelled far; she has filled orders for them for people in Flint, Chicago, the eastern United States and many in the local area.

Here, pictorially, is a replay of some of conservation's top news events in 1966. There were exciting developments on the state’s fishing front, notably on the Great Lakes scene where catches of coho salmon and the build up of steelhead runs gave promise of greater things to come. No story in 1966 was more important to fishermen and other conservation interests than the one that told of a new offensive in the fight for clean water in Michigan. Major battleground was the Detroit River-Lake Erie area where die most massive cleanup campaign in Michigan history was mobilized. Statewide, too, die push for water pollution control was well under way by year’s end. Michigan’s recreation boom continued to make big noises in 1966 and one of the major upshots was a record billion-dollar business in tourist trade. Keyed to die recreation revolution and climaxing two years of in-depth study, the Conservation Department unveiled a 10-year, $377mjllion program to meet the state’s outdoor recreation needs. The forest industry, one of Michigan’s biggest money-makers, surged' ahead in 1966, paced by pulpwood production which was estimated at an all-time high. --Midi. Dept, of Conservation Vermontville News Parcel post rates to be increased Use of Zip Code will make it easier to mail ; packages after January 15, 1967, Postmaster Wil­ ma F. DeCamp of the Nashville Post Office said today. New rates and a new system for identifying par­ cel post zones will go Into effect on that date as provided-in legislation signed into Law by Presi­ dent Johnson on September 20, 1966, the Postmas­ ter pointed but. The rate increases will average about 10 cents a parcel. Postmaster DeCamp said. Starting July 1, the law provides for a series of size and weight increases on packages mailed between first-class offices. Nashville. Michigan is a second class of-, fice. The size and weight increases will be in five annual steps, the last coming on July 1,197L Cancer tests to be given Private physicians in Barry County are to conduct, a cervical cancer detection in their offices for wom­ ' 1st and lasting 2 en 21 or older, start! Brown, director of t, Sponsors of the program are the Barry County Health Department, County Medical Society, County Cancer Society, and the Michigan Department of Public Health. Women desiring this examination, which in­ cludes the Pap test for cervical cancer, ate urged to contact their personal physician for appointment for sometime during the 2-month period. The laboratory fees for the Pap test will be paid by the Michigan Department of Public Health. Costs of exam are to be paid for by the patient. Dr. B. P. Brown said more than 46,000 Michigan women have participated in the cervical cancer screening program since 1954. Hundreds of cases of previously unsuspected cancer have been discovered by these tews, and lives of many women have been saved because of early detection of cancer. use « zip code in the recipient’s address will en­ able the sender or a mail clerk to quickly deter mine the proper zone, and thus the rate, for the package. The zones will be based on the distance a parcel travels between the 552 sectional centers in the country. Postmaster DeCamp said. By consulting a simple chart, which is available at all post offices, the zone can be readily identi­ fied because the first three numbers of the ZipCode represent the sectional center. This replaces a' ~. method in which a directory often had*to be con­ suited — 1—- to — locate the proper zone for each of the naThe new rates will range from 40 cents for a three-pound parcel destined for local delivery to 60 cents for the same parcel to zone 3 (150 to 300 miles) to $1.05 to zone 8 (over 1,800 miles). The new zoning method will also apply to air parcel post, catalogs and to publishers who pay zone rates on the advertising portion of their periodicals. Postmaster DeCamp noted that all parcels mail­ ed between post offices within the Kalamazoo Sec­ - tional Center will be charged at the first zone rate. There are 95 post offices within the Kalamazoo Sectional Center. " The new rates are expected to provide an addi­ tional $74 million a year for the Post Office De­ partment The later size and weight increases will add another $32 million a year. The additional revenue is to help keep the Department within 4 percent of costs on parcel post as the law requires.

Larry and his family have moved into the house that used to be the Voorhees home and later the Hartenburg home. There is a little pond on the property where the kids skate in the winter. Larry's brother, from Lansing, came to visit and expressed interest in the pond. He asked Larry if there was anything in the way of fish in the pond. Larry told him that he had seen no evidence of fish and was sure there could be no fish there. The brother insisted that where there is water, there is quite apt to be fish. So when he came to dinner On New Years Day he brought some fishing gear along with him and went down to the pond to cut a hole in the ice. He sat there for an hour or two and came up to the house with six or seven good sized fish, and some smaller ones. These he proud­ ly displayed to the guests and declared that the fishing down on the pond was indeed excellent The next day (Monday), Larry, who is no fisher­ man at all, went down to the pond to try his luck. He thought that if the fishing was that good he should be taking advantage of it He chopped a hole in the ice in the same spot his brother had and sat down to really enjoy the good fishing. He sat there for two hours with narry a bite and went back to the house cold and disappointed, to watch the football games and warm up. Some time later he learned that his brother had brought his fish with him when he came to Nash­ ville. BAROMETER friends to do a bit of tobogganing last week. Cleo . amazed his kids by riding a scoop shovel down the hilL The kids haa never thought of such a thing. Then Cleo went down on the toboggan. Well, any­ way, Cleo started down the hill on the toboggan. He wound up going only half way down on the to­ boggan and continued the rest of the trip on Cleo. He twisted his leg under him and spent the better part of the week recuperating from the experience. Art Twichell parked his car next to a small snow bank and got out on the driver's side. He climbed ■ to the top of the small snow bank and took a jump to the sidewalk. The walk was covered with ice and Art went down to the tune of a sprained ankle. Last Monday (two days after the accident) An was in such bad shape that he could not go to work. He sat up in a chair in the living room and Mrs. • Twichell turned the TODAY show on for him and then left the house. An said he enjoyed the show and immediately after it was over the kiddy shows came on. Art stood them as long as he could and finally had to get out of the chair to turn them off in self defense. Art is back on his feet (or at least foot) now. Mr. C. F. Shaefer, manager of the Bell Tele­ phone office in Charlotte, was in the other day and he gave ine some statistics that should make us sit up and take notice. We can see the growth of the area by the growth of telephone service in the area. Mr. Schaefer tells me that Vermontville has 709 telephones as of the first of December .1966. This is a gain of 28 during the year. The previous year's gain was only 5. . Nashville has 1253 telephones as of the same date. Nashville's gain was 45 and the gain for the previous year was 44. Assuming that there are three people in the area for each new telephone, that should give us about 216 as a gain in population. All of this looks good for the area. Here is a little gem of information I got from the State Department. Auto speed is affected by many factors, includ­ ing even your marital status, according to the Michigan State Highway Commission. Citing a study made by Highway Research Board, the State Highway Commission reported that single women and divorcees of both sexes tend to drive faster than married men and women. On a long trip, a person will drive faster than on a short one, and out-of-state cars maintain higher speeds than in-state cars, according to the study. The greater the annual mileage, the higher the average speed. Ownership affects speed, too, the study reveal­ ed. The average driver will not drive his own car as fast as he drives a rented or fleet car. New cars average higher speeds than old ones, expensive cars higher than low-priced ones, and heavy cars higher than light ones. Buses are the fastest ve­ hicles on the highways, passenger cars next, and trucks are slowest. < Two of my good friends have bangedrthemselves up by getting a bit frisky on the ice and snow. Cleo Prescott went out with some of his young AN ED ITORIAL: (Reprinted from the Grand Rapids Press) BUT STILL NO BREAKAWAY DRIVERS Hundreds of people die in Michigan every year when the cars they are riding in leave the road and tjit a tree, utility pole or some other almost-im­ movable object Highway departments can’t elin/inate all of these hazards, but they are trying. Trees are being removed along county as well as state roads. Now the State Highway Department is about to start using breakaway light poles and sign posts on new freeways. Theoretically at least, the new poles will break when hit and the offending cars will suffer less damage. A car traveling at 40 miles an hour will wind up with a two-foot gash in its front end if it hits the conventional-type pole, according to the State Highway Commission; but at the same speed it won't have more than a three- inch dent to show for its misadventure if it hits one of the new poles This is encouraging—but not very. Motorists who hit light poles and sach things usually are trav­ eling a lot faster than 40 miles an hour. That's the trouble in the first place. They probably would stick to the roadway if they weren't going so fast. We are all for anything that helps to reduce high­ way fatalities. Breakaway poles may help. But nc sane driver will count on it. Highways are getting safer all the time—but not motorists. "It costs more to use bad roads than to build good roads." * .

Forrest Rinehart of Nashville was soloist accompan­ ied by the organist. Miss Linda Aldrich of Livonia. Given in marriage by her father, the bride wore' a floor length sheath of peau de soie. The fitted bodice was styled with a boat neckline and long tapered sleeves. The front of the bodice and skirt featured all over embroidery of white jet beads and pearls. A flat self bow at the waistline from which flowed a detachable chapel train furnished the back detail. Her fingertip veil of illusion was held by a white lace crown adorned by seed pearls and crys­ tals. She carried a bridal bouquet of pink sweetheart roses with pine and pink streamers. Miss Edith Mae Zemke of Long Beach, California, sister of the bride, was the maid of honor, and Miss Mary Louise Zemke, Mrs. Durwood Booher, both of Battle Creek, sisters of the bride, and Miss Janet Cook of Alma, sister of the groom, were bridesmaids. The bride a attendants wore identical plum color floor length sheath gowns with pink head pieces and carried basket bouquets of pine and holly with pink streamers. Bobbi Jo Brimmer, friend of the bride, dressed in pink, was flowergirl and carried a tiny basket identical to the bridesmaids. Kevin Jones, cousin of the bridge, was ringbearer. David Cook of Three Riven, brother of the groom, was best man and the groomsmen were John Cook of Mendon, brother of the groom, Dur­ wood Booher of Battle Creek, brother-in-law of the bride, and Robert Knepple of Marcellus, broth­ in-law of the groom. William Dussel of Cassopolis, brother-in-law of the groom assisted the grooms­ men as usher. Following the ceremony, a reception was held in the Griswold Room at the church.

Brenda Jones of Battle Creek, cousin of the nride, passed the bride's candy and Joel and Kenneth Cook, brothers of the groom, passed the groom's cigars. Mrs. David Cook of Three Riven, sister-in-law of the groom, attended the guest book with Christy Jones of Battle Creek, cousin of the bride, assisting with gifts.

Mn. Mildred Martin and Mn. Isabelle Zemke as­ sisted the groom’s parents with the rehearsal din­ ner Thursday evening. NOTE PAPERS i Grosse Pointe, as Speaker. Thomas Thatcher, who had been brought in as Clerk of the House when the Democrats took over control of the House two yean ago, was retained as Clerk of the evenly divided House. He is regarded as both competent and fair and was not opposed. Selection of the other elected House officials was completed by choosing Rep. Martin D. Buth of Comstock Park as Speaker Pro Tempore and Rep. Roy L. Spencer of Attica as Associate Speaker Pro Tempore. On the second day of the session, the Senaton and Representatives listened to the annual State of the State message delivered personally by Govern­ or George Romney. His half hour talk covered a wide range of issues and current problems. He was interrupted frequently by hearty applause from the legislators. Governor Romney challenged the Senators and Representatives to meet increased needs in the areas of education, mental health, civil rights, law enforcement, traffic safety, labor, health and pol­ lution. As had been expected, a major portion of the Governor's message dealt with state finances and called for fiscal reform action, including needed tax revision to meet growing demands and to pro­ vide greater equity in the field of taxation. He urged that a tax reform program be enacted by A­ pril 1 of this year to meet an expected $110 mil­ lion need for new revenue in the 1967-68 budget now being prepared. He announced that he would not approve appropriation bills until appropriate tax action had been carried out by the Legislature. The Legislature has recessed for approximately 10 days while a 10 member bipartisan recount com­ mittee of House members conducts recounts in two Genessee county legislative districts. One of them was supposedly won by a Republican and the other by a Democrat according to the election returns as they now stand. If either of those elections should be reversed, it will, of course, break the current 55-55 party deadlock in the control of the House of Representatives. Understandably, certain de­ cisions can't very well be finalized as long as there remains any doubt as to the exact composi­ tion of the House membership.

Most say they will attend college, and of these, 89 per cent choose a college in Michigan. One in four hopes to attend a public community-junior ty-junior college, two out of three a public senior college ' '■ ccnt a private college or university. Of tbe seniors with B and higher gsades, 90 per cent plan to continue their education. Of others with 3 and lower averages, 65 per cent want to go on. These are results of a survey made last fall by “ ~*— MEMO;, a cooperative program sponsoi 1ted Project by all tbe state's community colleges and Michi­ gan State University, and financed by the U. S. Of­ fice of Education's "Talent Search" division. It included students enrolled in 592 of the 594 public and 153 of tbe 169 non-public high schools in Michigan. The survey resulted in nearly 100,000 student responses. .. Project Director David Schultz pointed out that "the total number hoping to continue education is far greater than any previous study ever has shown in Michigan. " Earlier studies by other researchers, who usually covered only a small part of the state, generally, reported from 50 to 67 per cent of the seniors.glanning more education. . A major problem the MEMO:' study emphasizes is the need for each student to choose the tight insti­ tution for more learning--"the school or college where he has a real chance for success, rather than one where his chances are too slim, " Schultz point­ ed out. "There is a place in some kind of program in some school or college for every Michigan high school graduate who really wants to learn more, and there is some kind of aid available to every boy and girl who has proven financial need," he said, "nut not every student is making a realistic choice of school or college really suited to his ability leveL "Michigan could use some kind of central clear­ ing-house that would help students find the tight colleges, and help colleges find students who will succeed. An objectively operated "Michigan col­ lege admissions center" that would do this would benefit the entire state by making an opportunity available to every boy and girl for tbe maximum amount and kind of education he could absorb. " Some C and lower average seniors indicated they wished to attend a college or university whose standards make their academic success entirely too improbably, Schultz explained. Such institutions properly advise these students to go instead to a less competitive campus where they nave a better chance to succeed, he added. : MEMO stands for "More Education, More Oppor­ tunity," and its goal is to "help every student use his brains for all they are worth. " MEMO: offers no courses and provides no financial aid to students, but works to bring students and educational insti­ tutions together and to publicize the greatly ex­ panded new federal Educational Opportunity Grants, work-study program jobs, and NDEA student loans. are the Alpena bic Community College, Grand Rapids Junior College, Henry Ford Community College, Highland Park College, Jackson Community College.

Who else would climb out of a nice warm bed long before dawn, in order to walk across the frozen surface of a lake into the fang* of a screaming wind, just to spend the day sitting in a little house that al­ most perfectly resemble* the structure which indoor plumbing is supposed to have replaced? When not tinkering with a contrary stove to keep it burning, be can be found hunched over in a half­ trance, looking through a hole in the floor at a square of green water. After staring at that spot for hours, he is so start­ led when a fish finally does come into view that he is nearly petrified. If he happens to be spearing, be usually does one of two things at that point. Either be will recover long enough to kick bis spear down the bole or will grab the shaft and hurl it mightily. In either case, the fish generally escapes and the spear, the tines of which have been lovingly honed to razor sharpness, will curl up like a home perman­ ent against the only rock in that section of the lake. To relax, the fisherman stands up and bangs his head on the low roof. At the same time, he nudges a quart bottle of coffee over the edge of the spearing bole and watches dumbly as it settles serenely to bottom. Fishing for it with a treble hook produce* nothing, except that his cigarette* slide out of his shirt pock­ et when he bends over. Ever alert, he dives for the pack and scoops it out. getting wet only to the el­ bow and soaking his new wrist watch. The oil burner now flicker* out and the fisherman spills half of his spare fuel supply down the hole as he tries to fill the tank. This clouds the spear! ig bole so he can't see anything under tbe surface. He can't light the fire again because hl* matches got wet with hi* cigarettes, *o shaking with cold, he heads for home.

He will start his work with the second semester. Under the law, the intermediate office of a county can organize vocational education, and can build a building, if necessary, but the program must be conducted by a local school district. The Adrian district was selected as the logical district and accepted the honor late in 1966.

NEW QUESTIONS Neir revolution in Michigan's most commonly used court level may be taking place these days as the result of higher court decision regarding jury selection. In November, tbe State Court of Appeals handed down an opinion in a St. Clair County Circuit Court case stating that the base for selecting a panel in jury trials should be as broad as possible. Since that decision, several counties have been ing new selection did not contain a good cross section of the county population. The Appeals Court ruling said that the jury need not contain representatives of all the economic, so­ cial, religious, racial, political and geographical groups of the comm inity, but that there should be no intentional or systematic exclusion of any of these groups. In other words, a jury list should not contain only retired citizens and housewives. Neither should it include only factory workers, or Negroes, or any other single classifiable group. To compile jury panels from one or two groups based on sex, age, employment or other factors does violence to the basic idea that juries represent a cross section, the Court said. State law requires that a jury be selected at ran­ dom from persons listed on tax assessment rolls or voter registration lists. The law specifies that in­ dividuals may not ask to be placed on jury panels. "jury service is a duty as well as a privilege of citizenship, and this a blanket exclusion of wage earners, either young or old, however justified ny prior actions of trial judges, must be counted among those tendencies which undermine and weaken our respected institution of jury trial, " the Court said. GIVES CONSENT Public reaction to proposals to tear down Michi­ gan’s 90-year-old State Capitol building has been most surprising to all concerned. This is primarily so because officials fully ex­ pected a real furor to arise in all cornets of the state when various alternatives were first announced for improving and adding government office space. Instead there was an almost deafening silence. Indeed, even after a second round of publicity was given to the possibility that it might be wise to raze the figurative center of state government there was still a surprising lack of concern expressed. A few citizens did take the time to write their op­ posing views, and one even sent the Governor a Stop* sign to express his discontent with the idea. Teenagers attending the annual "Y" Youth Legis­ lature wrote their sentiments on the matter. It is re­ ported that this was done after a request to do so. Most felt the present Capitol should be preserved for its historical significance. Considerable time and newspaper space have now been devoted to the various proposals. Many state officials feel the short supply of public sentiment on tbe matter indicates they can now rule out one proposal; that of spending the money re­ quired to restore and renovate tbe present structure and then move from there to provide space for the government which is so much larger than it was 90 years ago.

The fire waa caused by an explosion apparently caused by furaes from a floor cleaning chemical be­ ing touched off by the gaa unit on the refrigerator in the kitchen. A representative from the Brown Floor Service of Hastings was using the floor cleaning solution and when the explosion occurred he wasblown out the back door. He was alone in the house at the time. Although the actual fire which followed caused little damage, the new home was extensively dam­ aged by smoke, as were tbe furnishings. Fire Chief Forrest Babcock of the Nashville department esti­ mated the damage at approximately $1,500. Rev. Maunder remains active in semi-retirement When a man reaches the proverbial three score years and ten, and has retired from years of activ­ ity, does it mean that there is not much to do ex­ cept twiddle ones thumbs? The Reverend Leonard Maunder doesn't think so, for he is presently serving the 129 year old Congregational Church in Vermont­ ville, on a semi-retired basis. This simply means that instead of the usual seven day, on the job schedule of most active ministers, a reduction has been made to a mere 60 or so hours a week. A little over three years ago Rev. Maunder re­ tired from the active ministry and came to Ver­ montville where he took over the ministry of the' Vermontville church whose pulpit was vacant. He was able to bring to the church and tbe community a wide experience of some 30 years of pastoral woik. After completing his undergraduate work at Kale amazoo College and the University of Michigan, and two years of service in the first World War he ' went into business. Some yean later he decided to go into the Congregational ministry, and returned to the Chicago Theological Seminary at the Uni­ versity of Chicago to complete his theological ed­ ucation. He served churches in Illinois, and came to Vermontville after a pastorate of 13 years at First Church, Maywood, Illinois, a suburb of Chi­ cago. . During his years in Illinois he was active inState and City denominational affairs. He served as a trustee of the Illinois Conference and fdr three years was chairman of the Religious Education Commit- $ tee having much to do with youth work and summer camping activities. In Chicago he yas one of the directors of the Chicago Missionary society, and in 1956 was president of the Chicago Congregational ' club. Nationally he has been chrfitmsn of the Exe­ cutive Committee of tbe'National Association of . Congregational Churches and presently ,is historian : of that body. ... Since coming to Michigan Mr. Maunder has been active in the Verrfiontville Lions Club,'in the Cham­ ber of Commerce, the American Legion and in the Vermontville Historical Society. He is the present­ Moderator of the Michigan Conference of Congre­ gational churches, a position which takes consider­ able time. Accosding to Rev. Maunder this is semi-retire­ ment, but to the rest of us it sounds like he finds little time to enjoy any kind of retirement. Year end fire report CASTLETON, MAPLEGROVE, NASHVILLE. .

DETROIT—The discovery of a cell phenomenon that prom­ ises to . help doctors diagnose and evaluate treatment of leu­ kemia has been announced by a team of researchers at the Wayne State University School of Medicine. Leukemia is a cancerous condition of the blood in which one type of white cell in­ creases vastly in number at the expense of other blood cells. There are a number of kinds of leukemia. The research at Wayne was concentrated on the lympho­ cytic form, in which the par­ ticular cell which increases abnormally is called a lym­ phocyte. Heading the research team was Prof. Paul L. Wolf, of Wayne'4 department of pa thdfogy ,-Hia collaborator was Dr. Samuel Albert, of the Detroit Institute of Cancer Research. This lymphocytic form of leukemia is common in older people in its chronic, or long­ term. form. When it appears in the young it is Usually in its acute, or short-course, form. with the chronic leukemia, and older patients were used for the study. The special Wayne contri­ bution was to show, through a study W the lymphocytes, that certain ceil elements common to . all' cells Vary in number within the lymphocytes. A low count of these cellular ele­ ments frequently accompanies affliction with leukemia; a high count is found when there is no leukemia. Improvement of the patient, through treat­ ment, tends to "up" the count. These tiny elements, known as mitochondria, are called "energy elements" by scien­ tists, since they stimulate cell action. In the Wayne research, the lymphocytes were stained with a special dye so that the mitochondria appeared as small dots. (See the photo.) The research was applied to mice before being used on human patients.

The report in general showed the Chamber had in much more active this past year than it had in for some time. Much interest has been shown the members, both in attendance at the meet;s and in active participation in various worknrojtt. The Chamber also has a balance of $875 in the nk Night fund. Discussion was held regarding future plans for the .ristmas decorations for the village. It was sugsted that if decorations were placed in front of a rticular merchant's store, he would take care of and perhaps store it at the end of the season. A remittee was appointed to work on next year's coration needs. Al Smith is the chairman and hers on the committee include Harry Johnson, Ce­ l Barrett and Hubert Uthrop. It was voted the tamber would provide money for the purchase of .ditional decorations, the amount not to exceed 00. In preparation for the current membership drive, rrold Christiansen was named Chairman for the ive, with Mrs. G. Nicholas, Mrs. Nelson Brumm d Max Kelley also on the committee. The Chamr decided to leave the dues of $10 for business aces and $5. 00 for non-business places. A mention was made of the discontinuing of the ibulance service by the Vogt Funeral Home fa binary. The Chamber will attempt to work out ins in conjunction with the Fire Department and llage officials to try to come up with a suitable lutfon to this situation. The committee named for the February meeting eludes Bob Parker, chairman and Leon Ackett, y His Rizor and Catherine Beedle. The program was under the chairmanship of/John mon. Persons had been asked to bring questions, itten on one sheet of paper with the answers on a fferent sheet. These were distributed to those funny, but tome had a serious vein of thought. Some ideas were discussed seriously and perhaps new proj­ ects have made their initial appearance to tbe group.

United Church Women gather for their annual meeting The annual meeting of United Church Women of the Hastings Area was held Friday afternoon, Janu­ ary 13, at the Hastings Evangelical United Brethren Church. During the business meeting two officers were re­ elected Tor new 2-year terms: World Day of Prayer general chairman, Mn. David Otto, Middleville; and May Fellowship chairman, Mn. J. E. Smith,Nash­ ville. A prayer of consecration for these and the other officen was given by Mrs. Fred Bower, presi­ dent. She announced that a Board of Managen meeting for the organization will be held on Friday, Febru­ ary 17th at 9:30 a. m. at the Fint Presbyterian clmrch. Besides the executive board, two voting delegates from each cooperating church are to at­ tend; the president of the women's society and the group's official UCW representative. World Day of Prayer will be observed February 10, the fint Friday in Lent, with local services in all parts of the county, to be announced soon. The speaker for the afternoon was the Rev. Wil­ liam Benallack, director of the Michigan Migrant Ministry, an outreach of the Michigan Council of Churches. 100, 000 migrants a year come to Michi­ gan to help harvest the crops. The church has seen in them a call for this mission of mercy. They do not fit into today's industrial society and are getting the worst of the agricultural revolution in which they are so closely involved. Their troubles ate multiple: 1. Wages are under subsistence level. 2 their mobility works against progress in their chil­ dren's education, thus entrapping another genera­ tion in the cycle; 3. there is an environmental health problem aggravated by poverty. 4. they need religion anochurches near the migrant camps are often unaware of them or do not welcome them. The Michigan Migrant Ministry sees these people (Spanish-Americans from Texas, southern negroes, and Appalachian "poor whites") as the object of God’s love and target of their ministry of mercy. us background makes no difference and there roselvtizing. One of their main goals is to e local Christians to people as rf the community while : here and to e in our There Ionia and Uke Odessa; a small group comes to harvest asparagus in the Ir­ ving area. Mr. Benallack had suggestions for items much needed in this work: layettes, plastic pants for ba­ bies, sewing kits, repair kits, skin kits, blankets, warm clothing (sweaters), and dressed dolls. Mrs. Bower asked that churches and other groups take these as projects. The items will be collected at the May Fellowship Day meeting and will be dis­ tributed this summer. It is hoped that Vacation Church Schools this year will also panicipate. The women of the EUB Church were hostesses for a coffee hour following the meeting with Mrs. Ron Hesterly and Mrs. Charles Fuller in charge. Tax assistance offered A. M. Stoepler, District Director of Internal Rev­ enue announced that taxpayers will be-providcd as­ sistance with the preparation of their Federal in­ come tax returns at the Internal Revenue Office in Battle Creek from 8:00 am. to 4:00 pm on Monday through Friday. This service will continue through the filing period which ends April 17, 1967. Mr. Stoepler advised taxpayers to first read their instruction booklet and surt preparing their return. Then, if a problem arises, telephone the local In­ ternal Revenue Office on the same designated as­ sistance days having all the pertinent facts at hand. If the problem cannot be resolved by phone, visit the local office for assistance. .

NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN. Mcuau ”el^^i£EHG THURSDAY, JANUARY 26. 1967 NUM3ER 35 Committee plans for bettering community t In.September 1965; a Community Planning Com­ mittee was organized in Vermontville for the pur­ pose of promoting new ideas to develop the com­ munity and to further plans already underway. The Planning committee is made up of represen­ tatives from all the organizations in the area, the village council. Chamber of Commerce, Lions club. Order of the Eastern Star, Garden club, Methodist church. Congregational church, the Maplewood Par­ ent-Teachers association, the administrators from the Maple Valley school; various 4-H clubs, the township board. Maple Syrup Festival Corporation, the Daughters of the Union Veterans of the Civil War, the American Legion, Vermontville Woman’s club, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, the LCA, the WSCS and the People's Bible church. Miss Mabclle Sprague and M. L. Lowe acts; co­ chairmen and Mrs. Leonard Aldrich is the secretary­ treasurer. The group meets once a month in the Vermontville Public Library and various projects are being carried out or are in the planning process. An Emergency Relief Center has been set up. Mrs. Harry Hammond is chairman of this group. To wel­ come new residents into the community a We) pome Committee was organized with Mrs. Charles Vtele as chairman. This committee is currently ih the process of getting brochures printed. Under the guidance of the Planning Committee a Historical Society was organized. Mrs. Mildred Allen is the chairman from the Planning Committee. Other groups branching out from this organization are a Tree Planting committee headed ny Carl Sowles; a Painting class with Mrs. Kolbert Arntson chairman; New Business and Industries, Dale Briggs; Ways and Means, Mrs. Anna VanderVeere, a Chfldfen's The­ ater project, Mrs. Kenyon Peabody, and a commit­ tee to study New Projects is headed by William Stanton. The Planning Committee met last week Wednes­ day to discuss Verjpontville’s participation in the Maple Valley News and getting news into the dail­ ies. The editor of the News, John Boughton, and the reporter for"several dailies, Mrs. Gladys Richard­ son, attended the meeting. Mr. Boughton has at­ tempted to balance up the news stories between the two communities since he took over the Vermont­ ville newspaper, and in the final summation the manner in which any news is reported is to let news­ paper personnel know of any news stories in the area, and they will be more than happy to write it up. A call to the News office or Mrs. Richardson will accomplish this. The next meeting will be held February 28 at the Library. Photos by Gladys Richardson Michigan Milk Producers Association meets The Barry Eaton Local of the Michigan Milk Pro­ ducers association met Saturday, January 21, for their annual meeting in the Community house of the Nashville Methodist church. A business meet­ ing took place at 11 a. m. when John Gilbert, State District No. 5 representative to MMP led a discus­ sion on Class 1 Base plan, followed by a dinner and election of officers, and in a special recognition ceremony conducted by the Eaton County Agricul­ tural Agent, John Johnson of Charlotte. Mr. and Mrs. John Moore of Route 1, Nashville, were pre­ sented a plaque in honor of their outstanding work with dairy cattle. Although the Moores have sold their dairy cattle now, for many years they had an exceptionally high productive herd, and were for many years active in the Barry Eaton Local organi­ zation. The election resulted in Richard C. Thomas of Hastings being re-elected as president for a fourth year. The vice president is Gerald Linsley; secre-. tary-treasurer, Wayne Pennock, and delegates to the state MMP meeting, Richard C. Thomas, V. J. Smith, Albert Nelson, Gerald Linsley and Wayne Pennock. In a lengthy discussion of the Class 1 Base plan during the Business meeting, and also following the dinner hour, th? milk producers were asked to •4bte on their attitude toward the plan. The ballot resulted in 22 dairymen voting "NO" on the plan as presented, and four voting 71 YES". Then they were asked to vote on the question, " If no, would you favor a more rigid plan?" This too was de­ feated in a 20 to 3 vote. During the discussion period for producers in Southern Michigan it was brought out that the plan has not been endorsed, nor has it been voted down by the Market Committee or any other MMPA state­ wide group. The Market Committee however, did ask for an expression from the Locals while at the same time making no recommendation for approval nor disapprovaL . ’ The study of the Class 1 Base plan has been going on for the past three years. When it was first dis­ cussed there was an overabundance of milk on the market. Since that time many farmers have sold their herds and the ratio of supply and demand is more equalized than it was, even a year ago. Dairy farmers have expensive equipment, their need for having a stabilized market is very important This is one of the reasons many are members of MMPA, along with the many other services the organization provides for them. A number of special guests were present at Satur­ day's meeting. Among them were Rep. and Mrs. Stanley Powell of the 89th District, Senator and Mrs. Harry DeMaso of the 20th District, Jim Starkweath­ er, MMPA field man, and Bruce Bean, Agricultural Agent of Barry county. Prof. Jun Boyd of the Agriculture, Engineering ' department of Michigan State university showed slides of his recent two years in Nigeria on the In­ ternational program from MSU from 1963 to 1965. �BACKSTREET BAROMETER Maple Valley News Who would believe that just one week ago we were so cold around here that we couldn't stand it? Good old Michigan came through again. Otte week we have record cold and the next week we have record warm. I asked Carl Thrun if he had considered upping his trees yet He answered me that this is really In­ dian Summer and that we are still in for a blinger of a winter. There is always someone like Carl to uke all the dreams out of a spring-like day, orfew days. ‘ . Then, on the other hand are such optimistic peo­ ple as Lee Weeks, who said that he figures that every nice day we have is just one more hunk out of the winter. Lee and I will enjoy the weather, and Carl had better start thinking about upping trees. This is going to be the shortest winter on record. Spring just has to be early this year. I'm ready.

This should cause no concern in that all taxes have been paid on equalized valuation* for a number of year*. In­ stead of the usual assessed valuation that has a p peared on each tax statement in the past there will be only the equalized value on all tax statemenu for 1967. If no new millage is voted your tax dol­ lars would remain very near the: present level*. The New Constitution of Michigan has this to say"The Legislature shall provide for the uniform gen­ eral ad valorem taxation of real and tangible per­ sonal property not exempt by law. The Legislature shall provide for the determination of True Cash Vai ue of such property; the proportion of True Cash Val­ ue at which such property shall be uniforml' ed, which shall not, after January 1st, 1966 exceed 50% and for a system of equalization of assessmenu." Cancer tests to be given True Cash Value means the usual selling price at the Mjace where the property to which the term is applied shall be at the time of assessment, being the price which could be obtained at private sale ani not at forced or auction sale. All Township, City and Village Assessment Rolls are in the process of being changed over from assess­ ed values on each parcel of property to State Equal­ ized Values at the present time. As the law further states, "Notwithstanding any other provision of the law all property s" ” be assessed at 50% of ------shall it* True Cash Value." Thilerefore the figure that will appear on the 1967 tax statements w: be the Equalized . Value of 50% of True Cash Value. All values as placed in the Assessment Roll are of course subject to review by the Local Board of Re­ view, who have the power to raise of lower indivi­ dual assessments only. The Assessment Rolls then go to the County Board of Supervisors where through their Equalization Committee a determination must be made as to the equality and uniformity of assess­ ments on the Total Roll of each assessing unit. This process is further aided now by a full time County Equalization Departinent. At the present time this Department is making a study of assessing procedures and property values in each Township,______________ Every woman resident of Barry County, 21 .years of age and over, who hasn't yet made an appoint­ ment for the cervical cancer screening test should ask herself two questions: Do I know of any person, friend or relative, who died from cancer--some­ one who might be alive today had they known a­ bout the disease early enough? Do I owe it to my­ self and my family to make sure I don't have can­ cer? With cancer the second leading cause of death in Michigan, the chances are that most women will answer yes to the first question. Response to question two may be life saving. The cervical cancer screening program, which includes the "Pap" test, starts Feb. 1 and contin­ ues through March 31. • It is sponsored by the Barry County Health Department, Barry County physi­ cians, Barry County unit of the American Cancer Society, and the Michigan Department of public health. During this time, the Michigan Department of Public Health will pay for the laboratory fees. In the early stages, cancer of the cervix pro­ duces no symptoms such as pain or bleeding. It can be detected in this stage only through micro­ scopic examination of cells, which can he ob­ tained quickly and painlessly much in the same way that a physician takes a throat swab to test for the presence of disease germs. If the laboratory test indicates normal cell tis­ sue, and the physician's examination reveals no suspicious symptoms, it can be safely assumed that no cancer is present--at least for the time be­ ing. However, checkups should be repeated at periodic intervals. By changing over to Equalized values it is hoped that a more equitable system of tax payments will be forthcoming county wide. Each one can very —“ ----- tax statement by applying the millage allocated or voted direct to his equalized assessment In the past very few people knew how their own tax bill was figured. Barry County is not alone in going through this process. The Supervis­ ors and Assessors in each of the 1783 units within the State of Michigan are all doing the same thing. When this process u complete the assessments will will all be on same basis. If questions arise each individual will find that his local Supenrisor or Assessor will be very cooper­ ative in explaining the details of this new system, which should provide for a more equitable taxation for each property owner in Barry County. This article has been prepared by the Equaliza­ tion Committee of the Barry County Board of Super­ visors composed of the following members— Russell K. Mead, Castleton Township, chairman. Lloyd Hoffman, Barry Township; Roland Lyons, Prairieville Township; Floyd Miller, Assyria Town­ ship; Jerome VanMatre, Yankee Spring Township; Mrs. Glenna Weber, Hope Township and Mrs. Donna Kinney, City of Hastings.________ ________________ Even the ash tray rides smoother in Chevrolets When you’re down at your dealer’s trying out a new Chevrolet, be sure you pull out the ash tray.

License plate sales lag state meeting A copy of a policy declaration or an insurance ID card which contains the same information as the certificate. A certificate of insurance binder'or any docu­ ment containing the same information as a binder showing the binder period or expiration date. Hare said binders must be given to branch per­ sonnel when plates are purchased and would be check­ ed at the expiration period to see if the person fol­ lowed through on the purchase of liability insur­ ance. Persons who do not show in-effect liability insurance will be asked to pay the $35 uninsured fee. The only Double with early licence plate buyen in the opinion of Secretary of State Jamet M. Hare it "there just are not enough of them. " Hare pointed to the "slow" pace of 1967 plate sales which were running nearly 200, 000 below comparable dates last year during mid-January. "Unless we pick up the sales tempo by the end of this month and the first 10 days of February, I'm afraid buyers will be faced with monumental. lines of pushing people and flaring tempers," Hare predicted. , Hare pointed to several factors which he said were "contributing to the snail's-pace license sales campaign. 1. " Lag in new car sales. This has seriously af­ fected sale of plates during the tag-end of 1966 and seems to be -extending into the new year. Used car sales seem to be down, too. " 2. "Persons who obtained plates early last year because they were leerie of the new Motor Vehi­ cle Accident Claims Fund have a year's exper­ ience to call upon and don't seem overly con­ cerned about being later this year." X "License plate sales were stimulated last year by the gigantic state-wide educational and publicity campaign on the Accident Fund which stimulated persons to buy plates early. " Hare pointed out another problem, caused when the Legislature extended the commercial plate buying deadline back to the original February 28 date. Lawmakers earlier in last year's session had passed a bill which had moved up commercial plate sales one month with the deadline of Janu­ ary 31. _ , The Michigan Anociation of School Administra­ tors held its semi-annual conference January 18-19, at the Pantlind Hotel, Grand Rapids, Conference theme was “The School Administrator--His Educa­ tion and Involvement." Superintendent Carroll Wolff of the Maple Valley Schools, attended the meeting. Guest speakers for the two-day meeting included, Dr. Harold Spears, president of the American Asso­ ciation of School Administrators; Dr. Paul Misner, Western Michigan University; and Hugh Holloway, superintendent, Sault Ste. Marie Schools. Hollo­ way. a former Nashville School Superintendent, spoke on "Why Superintendents Get Fired. " Residents may obtain licenses locally Accommodations have been made for license plates to be secured to make it easier and more convenient for auto owners to buy their 1967 plates. The sale will take place at the Masonic Temple on Thursday, Jan. 26. from 2 to 8 pm. In Vermontville, license plates will be available on Friday, Feb. 10 at Newman's Cafe from 7 to 9 pm. Owners should remember to take their title or ie registration and proof of insurance with them. "This is a problem we did not anticipate, figur­ ing commercials would be out of the way by the end of January." Hare again reminded vehicle owners that they would have to provide proof in insurance to qualify for the $1. 00 insured fee under the Motor Vehicle Accident Claims Fund law. "If adequate proof is not furnished, these drivers wiH have to pay the $35 uninsured fee under the Fund." ' Adequate proof if insurance, according M Hare, can consist of any of the following: Certificate of insurance but only when a policy number and expiration date appear on the certifi­ cate. Terms such as "applied tor" or "continuous” are not acceptable. A statement with the same information as the certificate on the letterhead of any company or a­ gent.

Yo«t * Photo - �They came to town for supplies by many means--a-foot, by toboggan, by horse--during the big storm. BACKSTREET BAROMETER Last week at this time, 1 was predicting an early spring. Carl Thrun tried to tell me that the warm weather of that time was just Indian Summer and our real winter was still on the way. I have come to the place where 1 discount a good share of what Carl tells me, just on general princi­ ples. I will learn though, in the future, to accept what he says as the gospel truth. - Carl, never again will I doubt you, old buddy. Just don't predict any more of this. OK? Now after all the snow and blizzard, I wonder how Chris Kite's chicken is. When the, snow was just starting on Thursday afternoon, Chris told me that he had to get out and shovel a path to the pine tree for his bantam rooster. ... Chris said the little fellow came to their'house ' over a year ago. He just walked up into the front yard and took over. Since that time the rooster eats with the King's cats. Mrs. King calls "Kitty, Kitty, ” and along with the cats comes the little rooster. Chris says that no member of the family can get close enough to him to catch him. Otherwise they would putjnm in a shed when the weather is bad. " The rooster hangs around all day, and then at night, he flies up In a pine tree in the King front yard where h^ spends the night. Chris said he wouldn't fly far, so he, Chris, had to shovel a path up to the tree. Sure hope the little fellow got through the blizzard in good shape. This past week end will live in the memory of al! of us as the time of the big snow. Despite the fact that some folks were inconvenienced a bit by the sudden blizzard, people seemed to take it in good humor. It seemed to bring out the best in every­ body. . ■ Jim Erwin, head of the street department, said that on an ordinary day he has several calls from people who are unhappy about something he has done or has not done. Jim said that during the time when be and his street crew were having the most of their troubles, when the streets were plugged up to a fair-thee-well, not one person gave him a bad time. In fact they were most co-operative. The storm and the isolation of our villages from the rest of the world made for a gay holiday atmos­ phere. By Friday morning, when the snow was knee nigh to a very tall giraffe, nobody could move his car far, so everyone found some other way to get to town. Most people walked, but others had new and old methods of transportation. Those who bad snow mobiles (1 never realized how many there were) got them out and zipped a­ round. Triose who have horses hitched them up, or saddled them up and came to town that way. A few hitched dogs up to sleds, and lots of folks pulled the sleds and toboggans themselves. C. The guys with snow-mobiles seemed to be having the most tun. They zipped about town like cra»y. Some, who didn't nave snow mobiles, ran right down to Wheeler's and bought one. The ill wind blew him some good. Bun Cuyler has a snow mobile, and Friday, dur­ ing the height of the storm he offered Fuzzy Wood­ ard a ride home on it. Burt and Fuzzy were going along great when they zigged when they should have zagged and tipped over in a snow bank. At one time Friday, there were five snow-mo­ biles parked on Nashville's main street. Cecil Barrett, at Douse Drug Store, told Burt of Vem Gross, out in the country, who was need of medication for a chronic illness. Burt sent Bob Blake out on the snow-mobile to deliver the medicine. Others used the vehicles to run errands of mercyThursday afternoon and evening, many people shoveled out. There were a number of orphans of the storm. One couple from Cadillac, on the way to Florida, THE NASHVILLENEWS MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, pushed through to Nashville by Thursday afternoon. They could see that the weather was not getting better so they put in to Cooley's MoteL They were there until Saturday. Others were stranded on their way through town. Many people who live here were stranded else­ where. Many who work in Lansing and Battle Creek just didn't make it home. Art Twichell, at Nash­ ville Cleaners, lives in Bellevue. When it came time to go home on Thursday evening he couldn't move his car. He just went back in the cleaning plant and " holed" up for the weekend. He got home Saturday night. • June Nesbet called to tell us that a sheep dog came to her farm when the storm was starting. She was confused and tired so June took her in and is still keeping her and feeding her. It is a black fe­ male and the owner can have her back by contact­ ing June. We Boughtons were supposed to go to a press convention in East Lansing on Friday and Saturday. Of course we cduldn’t malte it. Many people from the Detroit area tried to get through to East Lansing, but the State Police routed them off the freeway at Williamston and they stay­ ed the night there in a church. Williamston was filled with people who just Couldn't make it. The churches and fire hall were filled up with people who stayed the storm out. One of the things they discovered is that there is considerable local talent we know nothing about. The speaker for the Friday night meeting of the press was to come in from Washington. He could not make it and the secretary was hard put for a program for the evening. One of the members of the organization said he would talk for a few min­ utes to entertain them. He did talk, and his talk was so good that most thought the professional speaker could not have done better. A woman volunteered to fill in a few minutes with a book review. Her talk was so clever that they have decided to hire her to give another one next year. Newspapers did not come into the town through­ out the weekend. I have not heard a train go through in days now. Indeed, we were isolated. A little village stand­ ing alone against the world, just as we did a hun­ dred years ago. The experience was not a particul, arly bad one. We learned that our neighbors are * wining to lend a hand, that they are nice people. The people on the street and road crews worked harder than they usually do. The rest of us, though, had a few days extra, when we couldn't get to work and so we spent a good share of our time shovelingout, walking to town, having coffee, and goofing off; Mail service into town stopped and was not re sumed until Monday morning.* Al Smith walked down to his Supermarket on snow shoes. He used to work for Consumers Power Co. and had the snow shoes from that time. He said they came in handy and that he had not for­ gotten how to use them. A. E. Halvarson got around on skis just like he did in his native Swe&n. During the emergency period, the Nashville Fire Department had three runs. Thursday evening they were called to State street where a car had caught fire while the owner was trying to rock it out of a drift. Friday evening they went out on a call to a . chimney fire and on Sunday they were called to Thomapple Lake where a Hastings man had gone through the ice. He was out of the water by the time they got there. They took a snow-mobile along with them on the runs just in case they needed it. For some time all roads out of town were block­ ed. Those who were able to make it to town re­ ported many cats stuck in snow banks, Howard Johnson reported that at one time Friday he could see 16 can stalled in the vicinity of three bridges. While I talked to him on the phone he said ASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1967 Bird watcher at work--An Twichell surveys his Thunderbird. he could see the snow plow on its way.. The plow got stuck and another one came to help. That one got stuck and the last I heard 9 men were digging. All in all, the big snow was kinda fun. It might be nice to do this two or three times a year, at least. * The street crews did a massive snow removal job Tuesday night by clearing Nashville main street of the big banks of snow. Some things stand out about the storm. In the first place it made us know our neighbors just a lit­ tle bit better. People were willing ano anxious to help each other because they all realized that only with help can we make it in an emergency. I think also people discovered that when you are cut off from the rest of the world life does not need to move so fast. People were in no rush to ger to town. They could walk and stop along the.way to talk with their friends. Not only were the people with the ski vehicles particularly helpful in running errands, but those who wuo uavc have cd CB radios raurus arc did their lueu share to help out. TI The , ,o. air was full of emergency transmissions calling for help to stalled motorists andihouseboldeu who. were in need. , WBCH did a particularly good job of keeping the people of the county and the area informed and acting as a clearing house for information. They were short-handed because people couldn't get in to go to work, but despite it all, they got on the air and stayed there with reports on road conditions.

Anderson, County Superintendent of Schools has posted notices calling attention of the registered voters of the Maple Valley School District the North Kalamo School District and the Mayo School District to a special election onTuesday, February 7, 1967.

At this election there wUl be two precincts for voting purposes. All registered voters of the Pre­ cinct No. 2 of the Maple VaUey Schools and the voters of the North Kalamo will vote at the Map­ lewood Elementary School multipurpose room in the village of Vermontville. AU the voters of Pre7 cinct No. 1 of the Maple VaUey Schools and those of the Mayo School District will vote at the Kel­ logg Elementary School gymnasium in the village This election is to combine the North Kalamo, and the Mayo School Districts with the Maple Val­ ley School District. It is not a vote combining Maple VaUey School District with any other high school district. The votes of the two rural schools and those of the Maple Valley Schools will be combined, and the majority votes determine the outcome. If the reorganization plan is approved, it will take effect July 1, 1967. Absent voter application* and ballots may be ob­ tained at the County School Office in the basement of the jaU in Charlotte. .

THE NASHVILLE NEWS AU of the registered electors residing within these three districts are eligible to vote. Each per­ son voting on the proposition of approving the re­ organization plan must be a citizen of the United States, have attained the age of 21 years, and have resided in the State of Michigan six months and in the Area affected by this reorganization plan 30 days next preceding the election. The polls of election will open at 7:00 a. m. and close at 8:00 p. m. Eastern Standard Time. Those registered electors living in the former Nashville School District wiU vote at the Kellogg Elemen­ tary in Nashville (former high school building). The registered electon in the Mayo school district wiU vote at the same location. The registered e­ lectors living in the former Vermontville School District will vote at the Maplewood multi-pur­ pose room. The registered electon in the North Kalamo district will also vote at Maplewood. AU of the votes from these two voting precincts will be tabulaud together. .How does this vou actually affect the districts involved: 1. The vou would be effective July 1, 1967 if passed at the February 7 election. The Board of Education, Maple VaUey Schools, would operate the new district including the Mayo and North Kalamo districts. 2. The Maple VaUey Schools presently have tuition students enrolled from these two districts. Because of chances in the meth­ od of computing the charge for tuition, the tuition charge this year is much less than in past yean or $12.37 per student in grades 7-12. Increased state aid offsets the loss in tuition. Students that are not residents of the Maple VaUey School district and ride the school bus pay a yearly amount of $48.60. 3. A yes vote at this time would make it bet­ ter for the planning of teaching staff and the transportation of students for the 1967­ 1968 school year. 4. AU taxpayers in the newly formed district would have the same operational millage levy. 5. However, in compliance with Act 289, 1964, the residents of the Mayo and North Kalamo school districts would not be liable for any existing debt levy for three years. If the proposal is turned down, then it is under­ stood the Mayo and North Kalamo schools stUl . could petition the Maple Valley school to accept them. But this would mean that if they are accep­ ted they would have to share their portion of the debt levy immediately upon acceptance. It should also be pointed out that while the Ma­ ple VaUey district is presently accepting tuition students from these two districts that they do not have to accept them. Therefore the voters have to decide at the spec­ ial school election on February 7 whether these schools should be voted in, and thereby not pay any debt tax for three years, or should the votets turn down the reorganization proposition, and if the vote is " no" will these schools petition to come in, thereby assuming their portion of the debt levy.

Well, if you happen to enjoy the outdoors and want to pass some of the best of it along to your children.In the years ahead, there is still plenty of time to make, and carry out, someeffective reso­ lutions during I9§7. Our friend Charlie DuBuisson is just bursting with ideas for folks who want to help themselves to a better outdoor future. Consider these ideas, then a­ dopt a few of them as your own: Get acquainted with your legislators and alert them to outdoor problems, such as anti-gun ligislation which would limit your right to own and use your shotguns and rifles. Keep informed on all legislation pertaining to hunting, fishing and natural resource conservation. This way you will be more effective in fighting bad bills and supporting desirable measures. Take an ihterest in at least one youth by educat­ ing him in sound conservation practices, outdoor manners and skills which took you many yean to learn. Evaluate your own outdoor interests from a broad­ er spectrum than that which might reflect only your own personal desires. If land is posted in your area, find out why and make an effort to bridge the gap between landown­ er and sportsman so the barriers will come down. Respect the property of another as you would your own. Don't liner, don't damage and don't enter without permission. Courtesy is contagious; start an epidemic. Abide by the hunting and fishing laws in the tra­ dition of true sportsmanship. join your local sportsmen's club fc; something more than the birds is releases during the hunting season or the fish it plants. Become-active in. its functions and contribute more to its objectives than your membership dues. Make a sincere attempt to understand the com­ plications of wildlife management and help, rather than hinder through constant criticism, those charged with providing your hunting pleasure. Take an active part in promoting conservation education oa a local or cute level. See thatthe subject is added to the school curriculum or inte­ grated with other subjects by helping your local teachers take advantage of special conservation .schooling. Try to find pleasure and satisfaction in the re­ creational aspects of hunting or fishing, not only in the harvest Make and keep one or mote of these resolutions during 1967 and you will have already contributed something of great value to the future of our out­ doors. In a state like Michigan, where hunting is such an important outdoor pastime, the gals get used to having guns around the house. Ladies who learn to use those guns for self-protection, if not for hunting, can give crime a real kick in the teeth. This was proved conclusively not long ago in Or­ lando, Florida, when 2,400 women took up pistol shooting. Criminals may not be smart but they aren't us­ ually stupid, either, and they got the message-quick. Th Orlando crime rate has plunged to new lows. Idea for training the "pistol-packin’ mammas” came from the local newspaper and police depart­ ment as a direct method of halting breaking-and- entermgs, rape, prowlers, and burglary. They thought 200 or 300 women might be interested in a safe gun handling course but were astounded when 2,400 of the gals showed up. Ages ranged from a minimum of 18 to nearly 80. By staggering classes, ir was possible to instruct all who wanted to leam more about guns. Training was conducted three days a week with members of the police pistol team and personnel from nearby McCoy Air Force Base doing the instructing. Each session brought 60 women to the firing line and a­ nother 40 to watch. Self-defense training was only part of die course. Operating condition of the women's personal guns was checked and instructions were given in safe handling, loading and unloading, cleaning and proper storage in the home. After they were checked out in all safety pro­ cedures, the women were instructed in instinct shooting at a variety of targets. During the first six weeks of the training pro­ gram there was only one attempted break-in re­ ported. The lady of the house wasn't receiving gun training but she handled the situation very nicely. As the intruder climbed through a win­ dow, she clunked him on the skull with a ha miner, then called the police to come pick up the sleeping beauty Officers feel this is indicative of a new attitude among women who are tired of be­ ing kicked around by the criminal element. When criminals know a lot of women have guns in the house and know how to use those guns, the effect upon crime is tremendous. Here, indeed, is a positive answer from thinking people to those shortsighted individuals who would disarm the American public under the guise of ” crime prevention. " It has long been said that the best defense is a strong offense. The gals tend to go along with that reasoning! Vein Wheeler "wheels" a passenger on a SnoMobile during the recent storm. The passenger may find the ride so exciting that he becomes a customer for the Sno-Mobile. Many of the little things were out and "around the streets and all seemed to be enjoying the bit of fun with them. --News Photo FARM CALENDAR BARRY COUNTY FEB 6--Barry Soil Conservation District Directors-8:00 p. m.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1967 THE VERMONTVILLE ECHO * �■ Church News Severely retarded youngsters refused admissionto schools are rapidly finding relief in local day care centers being opened throughout the state. .Started at Port Huron in the tall of 1963, under auspices of the State Mental Health Department, the day care program now includes 34 centers, in­ cluding 11 opened in the past six months. . Most of the centers are located in the southern half of the Lower Peninsula, but there are now 10 centers North of the Bay-Oceana County line. A­ nother four are scheduled to be opened before July. This new facet of mental health care was intro­ duced with the idea of relieving parents of the 24­ hour care burden required with severely retarded children and still offering an alternative to full­ time institutional commitment. Some 650 children are presently enrolled in the various centers. All of them are excluded from lo­ cal school programs. A few children enrolled in the earliest center op­ erations have gained enough learning and skills to move into public school special education classes. Mental health officials note the need remains high for additional day care centers throughout the state. Those presently in use are opetatmg at or near capacity levels. It is estimated that with the new centers planned through June, enrollment will be more than 1, 000. Also entering the mental health care picture this year will be the first adult activity centers, de- signed to provide programs for retarded adults who lack ability to bold a job or participate in existing training programs. The first of these opened in January in Macomb County. Six others are planned this year.

State Police spokesmen might cite a need for more teeth in laws which govern their activities involving speeders and otherwise hazardous motor­ ists. They ask for more cooperation from citizens. Take another point of view: the Highway De­ partment. You will hear that construction of new freeways and modernization of old highways is the best way to reduce traffic accidents and save lives.

Each year, particularly in winter, needless deaths are recorded in Michigan. The source is car1. >n monoxide poisoning. What most people for­ get is that carbon monoxide is present whenever there is combustion of any kind: canned heat, gas refrigeration, furnace, auto engine. "To protect against it requires adequate ventila­ tion. ” says State Health Director Dr. Albert E. Heustis. By adequate ventilation. I don't mean having the window open a crack. I mean a good strong draft. " « Aside from faulty heating systems in homes or bouse trailers, the most frequent monoxide acci­ dents involve parked cats, and the people who sit in parked cars most often are young people. I don't suppose it would do any good to try to discourage young people fam sitting in parked cars, said Dr. Heusth- " They are going so do it anyway, but tf we can convince them not to turn on the car motor when it becomes too cold they would go home instead of to a hospital or morgue. * THE NASHVILLE NEWS j/tj f METHOD 1ST CHURCH Rev.

Every woman resident of Barry County, 21 years of age and over, who hasn't yet made an appoint­ ment for the cervical cancer screening test should ask herself two questions: Do I know of any person, friend or relative, who died from cancer--some­ one who might be alive today had they known a­ bout the disease early enough? Do I owe it to my­ self and my family to make sure I don't have can­ cer? With cancer the second leading cause of death in Michigan, the chances are that most women will answer yes to the first question. Response to question two may be life saving, . The cervical cancer screening program, which includes the "Pap" test, starts Feb. 1 and contin­ ues through March 31. It is sponsored by the Barry County Health Department, Barry County physi­ cians, Barry County unit of the American Cancer Society, and the Michigan Department of public health. During this time, the Michigan Department of Public Health will pay for the laboratory fees. In the early stages, cancer of the cervix pro­ duces no symptoms such as pain or bleeding. It can be detected in this stage only through micro­ scopic examination of cells, which can oe ob­ tained quickly and painlessly much in the same way that a physician takes a throat swab to test for the presence of disease germs. If the laboratory test indicates normal cell tis­ sue, and the physician's examination reveals no suspicious symptoms, it can be safely assumed that no cancer is present--at least for the time be­ ing. However, checkups should.be repeated at * periodic intervals. ' - Margaret’s Modern Beauty Salon In the event the laboratory test shows the pres­ ence of abnormal cells, the physician will do a biopsy for further microscopic study.

Mrs. Earl Frost is the local chairman. The World Day of Prayer will be observed in Ver­ montville Friday, February 10, at 2 p. m. with the church bell ringing and community service in the Methodist church. The service was written by Queen Salote Tupou of the Tonga Islands in the South Pa­ cific where the first service of the World Day of Prayer is held. Since the beginning of the obser­ vance in these islands in 1949, Queen Salote led her people in the preparation and carrying out of their service, translating the service into Tongan, and speaking at the service whenever she was not away from her kingdom. In 1965 Queen Salote died after ruling her Is­ lands for 47 years, but a few months before her death she completed the World Day of Prayer ser­ vice to be used February 10, 1967, almost her last contribution to society. The theme of the service is "Of His Kingdom There Shall Be No End." The committee in charge of the program in­ cludes Mrs. Eugene Fisher, Mrs. Clifton McDonald. Mrs. Warren Jackson, Mrs. Jesse Baker and Mrs.Leoh ard Maunder. Offerings received at the World Day of Prayer services have given support to 12 colleges in seven countries, helped provide Christian literature for women and children in Latin America, Asia and Africa, provided a ministry to Migrants in our coun­ try, helped in the program of reception and hospi­ tality for international students through the Intema. tional Student Service and aided American Indian Youth by providing religious work directors. These projects will continue. A new project is called Sebenta. It is an adult literacy program in Swaziland. Africa where 80 to 8b percent of the adults are illiterate. It is also planned to expand the ministry to Indians who are leaving the reservation, and to establish a mobile ministry along Route 66 in Arizona to enable small towns and cities to welcome the thousands of Nazajo Indians coming into their communities.

Powell of Ionia is reminding homeowners in the 89th District of the Michigan Homestead Tax Exemption for persons 65 years of age and over. Representative Powell was a co-sponsor of this act, the purpose of which is to give tax relief to Senior Citizen homeowners whose combined gross income did not exceed $5, 000 dur­ ing the preceding calendar year. According to Rep. Powell, applicants must have lived in Michigan for 5 out of the last 10 years and the state equalized value of their real property can­ not exceed $10, 000. The exemption amounts to a $2, 500 deduction from the state equalized value of the homestead. The average tax relief is about $93. Persons eligible to claim exemptions must file a claim with the local tax assessor between now and March 8, 1967, the date for adjournment of local Boards of Review.

FEBRUARY 2, 1967 Nashville THE VERMONTVILLE ECHO �paralyzes area By GLADYS RICHARDSON The "big snow" of January 1967 will be the main topic of conversation for a good long time and while much of the area was totally paralyzed for several days, the main roads are usable again, al­ though it will be several days more before the side roads will be cleared. Snowmobiles were by far the best means of trav­ eling,. and they were kept busy gening food and drugs in to families isolated by the storm. Barry couqty reported 18 inches of snow offici­ ally, but many drifts 10 feet and more were re­ ported. The snow started in Nashville Thursday morning and many persons were either stranded at work or at home. The local postoffice received mail on Thursday morning, but no more came in until Mon­ day morning. Newspapers, usually brought in by truck, were either delayed by many hours, or fail­ ed to be delivered at alt Electricity in a two-block area was disrupted when a local bulk oil truck bumped into a utility pole. Because of the interruption, many homes in that area were without heat for nearly two hours. Because of the weather conditions practically all meetings were called off. and the Maple Valley schools, along with many others, were closed. The students were taken home early Thursday.afternoon and it was anticipated the students would be on va­ cation until Wednesday of this week. The Nashville Police Chief Robert Parker was following the advice he gave all motorists on' " don't attempt to drive unless it is absolutely nec­ essary". He cleared out the drive, just in case he had to haVe the police cat, but he was walking in­ stead. One main concern was fire calls. But in Nash­ ville a snowmobile was pressed into service for e­ mergency calls until the streets were cleared. A couple of women who were expecting were concerned as to how they would reach the hospital, as were "their doctors, but luckily the stork decided not to fly. ■ Luckily Nashville grocers hadan adequate supply of milk and bread on hand, although the supplies were practically exhausted by.Saturday night. Those who purchase fuel oil and coal in small quantities were struggling to replenish their s u p plies, and a tractor with a scoop on the front was seen taking out coal Saturday morning. A number of travelers were stranded here for the weekend, but they found lodging until the roads were cleared. , The village street department managed to clear the main streets by Saturday, although there were « places which provided for one-lane traffic onlv I Ifhdh ttfe rforirt first, started a nurtiberx>f*the*oWtimers were reminded of sirhilar snows, especially the one which hit Nashville back in 1914, but a t ■tithe end of the storm they were saying they had nev­ er seen a lot of snow. Now that the community is moving again, lame Dr. Roger Barrette who lives in Vermontville, but maintains an office in Charlotte was unable to get out, but in some ways this proved comforting to Vermontville residents. Postoffice employees reported that no mail came into Vermontville from Thursday until Sunday af­ ternoon. A number of rural people came into Vermont­ ville with horse-drawn vehicles to pick up supplies, ahd there was considerable kidding about whetner or not to install hitching posts along Main street. Luckily there were no big emergencies in the area, but had there been, you can just bet that the people would have banded together to provide the needed help. backs and shoulders are the mood of the day, along with a few blisters. Hundreds of interesting stories could be told of ?;ood-neighbor incidents, and they will continue or several more days. Citizens Bant, operators handled messages. More people shovelled more snow in Vermont­ ville since the snow storm came last Thursday than rhey have in many years, and when one hears about being in snow "up to here" that exactly expresses the condition. Many residents who work in nearby cities were unable to get home at all Thursday and Friday nights. Some stayed in hotels, others slept in theircars, or took refuge in farm homes along the way. In one instance on M 100 it took some Vermont­ ville residents four hours to travel 2 1/2 miles Thursday night before they gave up and went to a farm home along the way. In all there were nine stranded at this particular farmhouse where a hos­ pitable couple made their guests comfortable, even though some of them had to sleep on the floor. By Friday night all of the milk and bread supply was sold out, but kindly neighbors shared and ap­ parently no one went without. The village street equipment started clearing the streets Thursday evening and worked all night. But by 4 a. m. Friday, the equipment was lodged in a ditch on West Main street for several hours. The story was the same in all areas. As soon as the streets were cleared out, the high winds carried in more snow. The Vermontville Volunteer fire department re­ ceived a call- Friday morning. The fire was on Round Lake road,-and the department was not able " to get through on this road. However a plugged chimney was the cause, and there was no nre dam­ age. . • The fire department set up some emergency e­ quipment using two snowmobiles and a couple of toboggans loaded with hand equipment, but luckily no mote calls had come in by Monday afternoon.

He walked out onto the snow and ice at the Thornapple river outlet across from Charlton Park when he broke through. He floundered in the water for nearly 30 minutes before he was able to pull himself out. Then he walked across the river to Charlton Park. Meanwhile Mr. and Mrs. Marshall Green were just finishing dinner when Mr. Green glanced out bis livingroom window to see a dark spot on the snow He got his binoculars and determined that what he saw was a person floundering in the water and im­ mediately called the Barry County Sheriff's department. They alerted the Nashville firemen, and by the time they reached the scene Mr. Smith had reached Charlton Park. 'The emergency vehicle took Smith to Pennock hospital where he was treat­ ed for shock and exposure and released.

Applications for the test must be postmarked no later than Friday, Feb­ ruary 10. .The three hour test administered by Educational Testing Service, Princeton, New Jersey, is intend­ ed to predict a student's ability to do college work. The test will be administered at 15 colleges in Michigan located at Ann Arbor, Berrien Springs, Dearborn, Detroit, East Lansing, Flint, Grand Rap­ ids, Houghton, Kalamazoo, Marquette, Mt. Pleas­ ant, Saginaw, Sault Ste. Marie, Traverse City and Ypsilanti. About 42,000 Michigan students took the draft tests held during 1966.

Road Maps available The. 1967 Official Michigan Highway Map will be off the press soon, the State Highway Commis­ sion reported Commission Chairman Ardale W. Ferguson of Benton Harbor said the new map will be ready for distribution about mid-February. The cover of this year's map honors the Univer­ sity of Michigan on its 150th anniversary and the Mackinac Bridge on its 10th anniversary. A photo of the University of Michigan 's Burton Carillon Tower appears on the front cover of the map while a night-time picture of "Big Mac" ap­ pears on the back cover. Ferguson said hundreds of changes have been made on this year's map, many the result of new freeways and other highways that have been 9pened to traffic during the past year. Michigan now has nearly 1,300 miles of freeways. / Ferguson said one million copies of the 1967 map are being printed by Michigan Lithographing Co, of Grand Rapids. Copies of the map are available free of cost by writing—on a postcard, please—to: MAPS, State Highway Commission, Lansing, Michigan 48926.

In honor of the great occasion I went out to inter­ view the old weather prognosticator himself. The trip to the Groundhog home was not the eas­ iest The county snow plows seldom take off cross country to plow out a path for even such a renown citizen as Mr. Groundhog and his wife.

It was rather, difficult to find the Groundhog home because of the recent heavy snow. J finally found the place and knocked on the door.' It took quite a lot of pounding on the door to get any action. Finally the door opened and there stood old Mr. Groundhog in a long night-shirt. He rubbed his eyes and looked at me.

I've been through that be­ fore and I can't afford to win any more free things." "No, that is not the reason I came. " "Is it a national emergency? Did Katy Winters catch bad breath and have to leave the air? Did Las­ sie rescue these folks who are lost in space and blow the whole series?" ‘ "Nothing like that at all," I said. "Then wny would you come around waking a fel­ low up when it is hardly half past January?" "Well," I told him, "It is Groundhog day, and I have come around for my yearly interview and to see what the prediction for the weather is going to be. " "Oh, my gosh," he said. "Is it that late?" "Ma, wake up for a spelt Put on a pot of coffee. This is the day I have to go out and predict a bit for the folks. Come in sir," he said to me, "and we will have a cup of coffee and a piece of toast while you interview." I went in with him and sat down at the kitchen ta­ ble. Mr. Groundhog sat across from me. "How are things out there?" he asked me. "I went to sleep right away, couldn't have been much past November when I hit the old sack. Didn't even stay up for the late show. " Just then Mrs. Groundhog came into the kitchen. She was outfitted in a slinky bathrobe which she ex­ plained to me, she had made herself out of a blank­ et that Dan Patch once wore. Her hair was up in curlers which made her look like an average Ameri­ can housewife at home, or an average American teenager on the street. Come to think of it, it made her look like an electronic device used by the Fur­ Fish and Game Commission for counting salmon as they go up-stream. She put on the coffee and started to shuffle around the kitchen, looking for the toaster. "Well now, " Mr. Ground said, "Just what is your first question in this here now interview?" "Just what are you going to predict in the way of weather from here to spring?" I asked him. "I hope it is something good. This that we have had lately has been awful That is what comes of having Carl Thrun do the predicting. " ~""Do you mean you had Carl Thrun predicting be­ fore you came to me?” he asked. "Carl Thrun is a non union predictor. No wonder you have had a spat of bad weather. Having a non-union predictor whap it up for you. Now that be has predicted you all that nasty weather you want me to jump in and predict you up some good stuff. That is just die way you fel­ lows work it. Get someone to predict you into troub­ le and then you come to me looking for me to get you out of it, Well, I'll tell you right now. It ain't going to work. Just for that I'm going to stick my head out and predict six more weeks of winter. Now go back and see if Carl Thrun can predict you out of that Come on Ma, Idt's go back to bed for six more weeks. This guy has gone out and got another pre­ dictor. " In a fit of pique be threw me out the front door and into a snowbank. In desperadonl went to Carl Thrun and asked him if he wouldn't please make another prediction, bet­ ter than his last one. " Look, old buddy, ” Carl said. " I just predict the weather, I don't make it There is nothing 1 can do for you. We are in for six more weeks of cold, barn winter. I know, because I saw my shadow. " This is enough to make a fellow go to bed for six weeks. Motor Tune-up Wheel Balancing Brake Service Tail Pipe & Muffler Service Dear Friends, After a wonderful furlough in USA, I arrived back in Rhodesia on December 20, last year, ready to celebrate Christmas with Faye Letts, the English girl teaching in our H. S. who calls me her Ameri- V can mother. It was good to be back home again, and sopn I'd forgotten that I'd been away, as I fell into a busy schedule that filled all my days and too much of my nights! First, I settled my side of the duplex, making it into a real home; then Faye and I tackled landscap­ ing our grounds in a virgin grove, a year-long under­ taking. Late in January school reopened at Mrewa High School - note the new name - and I started teaching algebra, geometry, and arithmetic. The first half­ year saw many changes in staff, relying a good bit on University students helping to teach during their vacations, but in September two more of our over­ seas students returned, with degrees, to join our staff, helping to solve our problem of geography­ teaching. Then our French-Latin teacher, aeon­ tract teacher from Ireland, left to train as an An­ glican priest. So next year we expect to change ack to Latin throughout the school, and I plan to spend all of December at Old Umtali studying Latin so I can teach the upper classes of it. In spite of shifting staff, we have had a very good year. Mr. Chibanguza has been an excellent Head­ master, loved and respected by all of us. (What a relief, to be freed from administrative-load!). We are like one happy family, and have such fun to­ gether. The students, too, are usually obedient, courteous and anxious to learn. In addition to school -duties, we have many church activities also: Faye and I each have a class of H. S. girls, full members of the church, to be guided in their spiritual growth; once a quarter we each usually conduct a church service at the girls' dorm, at the local government hospital, and In the Mission Church; Faye teaches S. S. class of mission­ ary children, and each Wednesday evening leads a weekly prayer-meeting in the nearby hamlet which I often attend. Will you join us? We must push our | way into a tiny back-room of a store, dimly lighted by candles, and packed with 20 to 35 men, women, and children. But Ctaist is there, and the fellowship wonderfuL : , About twelve miles out is a tiny pole-and-grass chapel in a new community, where church people from several villages have moved. Our District Su­ perintendent asked me to help there, and sincejuly, when we were given an extra petrol allowance, Faye and I have been going there twice a month, taking turns preaching. We usually have a picnic lunch on the way, and we are calling in all the homes. Most weeks there are 80 to 90 people of all ages jammed into the tiny chapel, but they have bricks burned and hope soon to start a permanent church. We love these people and the opportunity to serve. These are not all our activities (as we keep bouse, entertain occasionally, and in August I was chauf- i. fer for a load of overseas guests on a 1200-mile tour of our mission stations and the Zimbabwe Ruins!) but they give you a taste of our life--a very full and happy one. People are frier dly, my doors are never locked, and life goes on a.- usual in most ways. We are able--when time, pet' >1, and money permit-to visit our African friends in both the rural areas and the city. This we love to do and only wish we. could do it more often. ■ • Perhaps this summary will help you understand why ! don't send out letters I should. I do appreci­ ate your cards, letters, parcels of literature etc, and money gifts for the work. So do the many oth­ ers helped by those gifts. Also THANK YOU tor your love, interest, and prayers. Although it is not yet Thanksgiving Day (though my heart is always overflowing with gratitude to God for His goodness and to all of you friends. His children, through whom He often works), it is time to wish you a Christmas season blessed with a vety real sense of His Presence at all times.

Woodards Mobil Service �etball here February 27 — The Maple Valley public is in for a treat when the world famous Texas Cow Girl basketball team comes here for a game with the Maple Valley Coaches and some alumni of the school. The game, to.be played in the Maple Vai Gym. on Monday, February 27, should make an evening of entertainment for the basketball fans and drama lovers of the area. The advance publicity for the girl's team points out that they play the men's rules (whatever that might mean) and that they have defeated such teams as the Green Bay Packers, Michigan State football teams, Holy Cross football team and the Harlem Globetrotters. Despite the fact that the men might "outull" them, it would appear from the publicity pictures sent in advance, that the girls outmeasure the men in other directions. Much of the fun of watching a game such as this, is the clowning and comedy routines indulged in by the team. In the past they have been known to shoot the referee and to hog-tie a bashful oppo­ nent. . A preliminary game between the sixth grade teams of Kellogg and Maplewood schools will be played at 7:00. ■The game is being sponsored by the Varsity club ana tickets maybe purchased from any mem­ ber of that organization. Pre-scbool children will be admitted nee but student tickets are 75$ and adult tickets, in advance are $1. 00. Tickets at the door will cost extra.

If you figure it as so much a pound for the meat involved, it comes out one figure. However, if you rate a deer' as being worth the value it brings in as a tourist attraction and how much peo­ ple are willing to spend just to see a deer, it ends up being much more valuable. Rep. Tom Anderson of Southgate has introduced a bill (H. B. 2055) for consideration by the 1967 Legislature which he hopes will put an extra dollar value on a deer and other Michigan wildlife. It should have the’whole-hearted support of everyone in our sure because it will be one of the most powerful weapons imaginable to aim at poach­ ers. Anderson's bill suggests that a deer be valued at $100 or $200, by virtue of law. This means that any poacher killing a deer would automatically be r e quired to repay the state that amount, in addition to whatever amount the court might collect tn fines and costs. j It so happens that too many Michigan courts still look upon game violations as a sort of joke. Too of­ ten a poacher will be brought into court and given only a token fine and costs or a large fine wul be suspended. Such action makes poaching highly prof­ itable. Anderson's bill would remove the profit from poaching. Nebraska presently has a law which works exactly this way. Out there a deer, elk or swan is worth $300 and a violator pays that much, even though tbe court may decide to suspend any .fine or costs. There is a flat rate charge of $25 for each small game spec­ ies killed unlawfully. Any songbird or game fish is rated worth $5. In short, the people ofthe state are paid back for what has been unlawfully taken from them. And, this is as it should be. Nick Olds, assistant attorney general for the Con­ servation Department, is highly enthusiastic over Anderson’s bill.

Saturday, February 25, the date of the republican state convention. Miss Jeanne A. Watz of route 5, Charlotte, was hired to teach junior high mathematics at the Feb­ ruary board meeting of tbe Maple Valley school dis­ trict held Monday evening in the office of Supt. Carroll J. Wolff. A report on the Athletic Council was made b y high school principal Fqrrest Rinehart. Paddings for the gymnasium walls back of the basketball board were approved by the board as well as additional marts for wrestling. Tbe athletic program is self­ sustaining as much as possible, ano tbe board will back the council whenever necessary to purchase needed supplies. The board will seek bids on two or possibly three new school buses and also on heating and air con­ ditioning needs in the office areas of tbe high school, and on items recommended following an investigation by the Improved Risk Mutuals as safe­ ty precautions in three of the elementary buildings. There was considerable discussion of the finan­ cial outlook and assignment of duties of all non­ teaching personnel. Considering the new federal regulations it is apparent that some changes must , be considered in regard to work loads in this area. A committee consisting of Herold Hansen, Chris King and Charles Viele from the board of educa­ tion and Head custodian Wayne Skedgell and coaches Jim Wynes and William Gibbs was named to study the needs of the athletic field at the high school. They will report back at the next board meeting with their recommendations. Mr. lunehart gave a report on the scholastic standings of the 94 members of the 1967 graduating class. Most of the members will be able to m e e t graduation'requirements but there are several who are having to take extra subjects because of lack of credits for one reason or another. Rinehart had notified several parents regarding the status of some senion who cannot possibly graduate next spring. The board approved paying bills from the gener­ al fund in the amount of $7,221.72; transferring of the January 30 payroll to the payroll account in the amount of $25, 973.04 and the February 15 payroll account amounting to $24,418. 36. Supt Wolff will be leaving Friday morning of this week to attend the annual superintendents con­ ference in Atlantic City slated for February 11 through the 15th. Tbe teachers' salary committee has held several meetings, but no definite report has been made to the board of education. It appears, according to Supt. Wolff, that the teachers are more interested in a percentage basis for determining increments than a set increment per year. Such a program can be extremely costly. To date nothing definite has been established as to what the state aid will be. Because of weather conditions Maple Valley stu­ dents have missed ten days of school. The plans call for 180 days in session, and this has been cut, because of the extreme snow to 170 days plus. The roads are still impassable in some areas, and when the snow melts there will be extremely muddy roads. Tbe high school attendance Monday was approximately 75 percent, and in the graces about 80 percent of the normal attendance. The board urges parents to see that the students are dressed warm, to protect the children from frost-bitten ears and hands. IFill present 6Shy Guy "Shy Guy”, a three-act comedy, will be present­ ed Thursday and Friday, March l6 and 17, by the Junior class in the auditorium of the Maple Valley High School. Rehearsals got underway this week, and M rs. Greta Firster is directing the two casts of five men and six women. Fred Hastings, played by Bruce McMillen an'd Danny Vliek, is in deep trouble when he becomes a model, and when he spends more money than his parents believe he is earning, when his friend Larry Madison attempts to get his chum out of hot water, and when an eccentric little lady of 80 decided to play football, any attempt at preserving the sanity of other casual observer becomes futile. Fred’s mother, Cora, is planning a birthday par­ ty for Fred’s girl, Nancy, but when two strangers, beautifully feminine, appear, in the persons of Gloria Patterson and Lois Corwin, the plot thickens. Fred is doomed; his job as model for Glamor Girl Cosmetics is about to be revealed. But leave every­ thing to Larry, Larry insists. Gilbert Hastings, Freds father, is furious when he learns of Fred's model­ ing job. Nancy isn't sure how she feels. Julie Tuck­ er’s chief concern is being able to keep the puppy Larry has bought for her on the installment plan. And that's when Melinda Whipple, that wiry bun­ dle of energy, 80 years strong, appears. That is part of the plot, and the play promises to provide a most hilarious evening of entertain­ ment.

If one tool or one part can do many different jobs, it can eliminate costly inventories, maintenance, stocking, handling, insurance, depreciation, obsolescence and other related manufacturing expenses. In farming, standardization pays dividends, too, as proven by Darius and Mark Kingen, the father and son team that operates the 760 acre Kingendale Farms near Muncie, Indiana. One 8-row planter and one 8-row cultivator, both set for 30-inch rows, can take care of their 400 acres of corn, 160 acres of soybeans and 90 acrte of tomatoes. Fourteen- I 1 i ■ makes another standardized procedure possible. Amiben herbicide banded over soybeans. It is the leading herbicide for soybeans. Gorn does not have nearly the toler­ ance for Amiben that soybeans have, so the company cautions corn producers to follow directions to the letter when using Amiben for corn. . • In planting seeded tomatoes, however, the Kingens plant only four 60-inch rows and apply a 14-inch band of granular Amiben in the row middles. Rows are thinned by hand to a stand of 10,000 to 12,000 plants per acre or one every 10 to 12 inches. In all cases, the same 8-row cultivator can be used in all three crops. The Kingens did extensive experimentation with row widths before deciding on 30-inch rows, in 1964, com was grown in 38-inch rows, soybeans in 40-inch rows. But farm­ ing in this fashion required from three to five cultivators and tractors. > By moving to standardized 30-inch rows in 1965, one 8-row unit did all the cultivation. This not only economized on time and labor, but also yielded an extra 3.5 bushels of soybeans per acre at harvest “Aim for high fertility ... put in what you take out... think of the soil as a bank,” are three policies practiced on fertility on all their acreage, the Kingens had no less than 144 soil samples taken last year. The project kept one man As per test results, they altered fertilizer application on soybeans, changing from 150 pounds per acre of 0-15-30 broadcast applied in 1964 to 150 pounds of 6-24-24 applied in the row in 1965. Fertilizer is positioned 2 inches to the side and slightly deeper than soybean seeds. Besides adding fertilizer to keep the soil at high pro­ ductive capacity, the Kingens aim for an alkaline pH analy­ sis of 6.2 to 6.5. At present, their soil is testing almost neu­ tral, between 6.5 and 7.0. , Soil preparations held to the minimum, consistent with obtaining a nerfprt.ly level seed bed A straw chopper is at­ tached to the cqpibine at harvest time, and then the land is fall plowed. In spring, fields are disked with a tandem rig to which a 15 foot floating drag is attached. The drag, made to the Kingens’ specifications, can be adjusted to field conditions. It can be set to float lightly on easily leveled fields, or dig in to rough fields. The adjust­ ments can make the drag weigh itself down with up to 2 cubic yards of earth. This is the last operation before planting via the King­ ens’ one-time-through system. All in all, standardization has made things a lot easier — and more profitable — for the Kingens. , KINGENS’ SOYBEAN CULTURE Total acreage: Planted: Variety: Population: Fertilizer: Herbicide: Rainfall: Yield: 1964, 24-inch rows 1965, 30-inch rows 180 May 20-25 Harosoy'63 8-9 plants/ft. 150# 0-15-30, broadcast Amiben, 10-inch band 7-8 inches 35.0 bu./acre 160 May 14-17 .

Convenient to use. Liquid concentrate mixes instantly with water to form a true solution. Granules are clean, easy to handle. Controls both broadleaf weeds and grasses —many more species than any other soybean herbicide—(some 51 broadleaf weeds, and 25 grasses including seedling Johnson grass). Weed control lasts all season long but there is no soil residue, or carryover, at harvest. (You can plant winter grains as soon as you take off your beans.) Not harmful to soybeans, no adverse effect on soybean, seed germi­ nation. Economical —$3.34 per acre banded at the 2 lb. per gallon rate. No wonder Amiben is used on more acres in leading soybean states than all other soybean herbicides combined. Better calf your dealer and get your supply early. You’ll never know how high your soybean yields can go until you use Amiben. whyAMIBEN is today's no.1 soybean herbicide �GIANT GLADS GLEANINGS The Weekly Valley Herald of Chaska, Minn., said that a young man applying for a police job was asked what he would do to break up a hostile crowd? “Take up a collec­ tion,” he replied.

A grass fire had singed it, and the tree had died. Already some of the . smaller branches were falling, although the trunk was still dry and solid. Lumbermen for some reason passed it up, even though at this stage it would still be valuable to the logger. Five years later I chanced to pass the same spot again. The old tree was still up there, on its feet. But its trunk was denuded of most of its bark now, and most of the smaller limbs were gone as well. I tested the trunk. The rotting process was starting, but it hadn't penetrated more than the sap of the trunk. The ruggedness of the old tree was impressive. Life had left it possibly seven or eight years ago, yet during all of this time it had buffeted storms and the elements without falling. . -. • The years rolled by. I didn’t get back to the old tree. I presumed it was long down. Then one day, fifteen years from the time I’d taken the last photo of it, I had a chance to make another check. I was visibly surprised. It was still standing, remarkable as it seemed. The rotting process was very evident now. Woodpeckers had bored into its trunk. It had the look of a defeated warrior. I was positive that it would fall within weeks. But it didn’t I checked with a friend, who hunted in the area. Months later he assured me it was still on its feet. Another year passed. Still there. But this Spring, when I went back to the spot, it had fallen. It had broken up, in its last ride to earth. But the trunk was still intact. I dug down with an axe — the center of it was still sound, hard and brittle. Its age, from a leaflet in the forest mould, to its death? I’m not sure. No doubt it was approaching the century mark when the fire killed it. From M Trees are tough. This old white oak was tough as they come. �THE CHALLENGE OF THE YEAR 2,000 ---- as viewed by John W. Simpson, Vice-President Westinghouse Electric Corporation in a speech be­ fore State 4-H Club Electric awards winners in Chi­ cago. The year 19S2 — just Sb years ago — saw a world quite different from, the one in which we now live. No television----- no jets streaming through the skies-----no astronauts - - - no atomic bombs or nuclear powered ships---- and we could go on and on. Mr. Simpson, with an eye to the developments in progress in the huge electrical industries field, projects us into a world just Sb years hence----to the year 2000. We think you will enjoy reading about this world most of us will live to see, and perhaps even help to shape. A Visit with Don dormancy, Ackley, Iowa In the year 2000, we have about 309,­ 000,000 people in this country — 120,­ 000,000 more than they had back in 1965. A much larger proportion of them are living in the cities. Transportation of everything is a much larger task — transportation of everything from peo­ ple and power, to produce and products. One way we have met our transpor­ tation problem is with air-supported trains. They are quite long and, trav­ eling as they do on a cushion of air, have very little vibration at speeds up to 250 miles an hour. “When you concentrate hogs, you’re bound to build up a lot of bugs.” “When you build up bugs, you’ve got yourself a scours problem.” “And when you’ve got scours, brother, you’ve got trouble.” ~ “TNT gains us a pig a Utter. That’s a bill in anybody’s money.” “We had scours so bad, I was running around with a syringe, treating eleven, twelve hundred pigs four or five times each. And they still looked rough. “Who wants to go to all that work ... and have scrubby pigs to boot? “Thunder! I feed hogs to make money . .'. not because I think it’s fun out there! “My feed man sold me on trying TNT. The difference is like night and day. Now I walk into that hog house, and the pigs jump up and know I’m around. They don’t just lay there half sickly. “I’m getting about five pounds more pig at eight weeks, and marketing at five months . . . prob­ ably two weeks sooner than be­ fore TNT.” TNT. It works for Don Cormaney. It’ll work for you. TRIPLE-ACTING NEO-TERRAMYCIN* We’re also working hard on a mag­ netic car that will ride on a magnetic highway and we expect to have it in production within a decade — by the year 2010. The concept is simple. The car and the roadway are each magne­ tized to the same polarity. Naturally they oppose each other . . . and so the car scoots down the highway with al­ most no friction and at very high speeds. Now in the year 2000 most of our families have a third automobile for town use — one that runs on electric power instead of that greasy kid stuff. It goes about 100 miles on a full battery charge and at speeds of about 50 miles an hour. It sits all night in the garage getting its battery recharged. We no longer form metal products by whittling away at them with a sharp edge. Nowadays we shape our metal with laser beams and electron beams. These cut with edges of energy with an ease, speed, and precision never equal­ led in earlier days. We can weld halfan-inch-thick metal in air with electron beams. (neomycin-oxytatr»cyclin«) In our schools, the teacher is no long­ er bothered with such non-productive work as grading papers, keeping rec­ ords and searching out good source ma­ terials. All this is performed for her by computers, releasing-her to devote more �personal attention to her pupils. Each student receives an education person­ ally tailored for him from a library of learning programs. There is no compe­ titive grading, because competition be­ tween students has been replaced by competition between each individual student and his own capabilities. In our homes, the outdoor area has been transformed in spectacular fa­ shion. Radiant heat adds months to the use of tiie outdoor patio and to the swimming pool. The roof of a modern house is automatic. It is controlled by a simple device sensitive to moisture, tem­ perature and wind, and it floods the 'house with fresh air, sunshine or moon­ light — according to the local weather and the desires of the occupants. When the automatic roof is closed, the climate in the house is completely controlled. Temperature, humidity, purity — all are handled by sophisti­ cated systems. The old-fashioned 1965 laundry room has been replaced by an inconspicuous unit along the wall that uses no water. It has a permanent detergent that re,generates itself after each use. Soiled clothing goes in one side . . . and dry, ready-to-use clothing comes out the other.

I made a hog of myself Another type of communication with radio frequencies is with the insect world. In the year 2000, we are devel­ oping systems of great interest to agronomists.

When the path was all shoveled out fee first cow went for a drink. Just as fee was on her way back a second cow decided it was a good time to go for a drink. They met in the path, which was wide enough for one cow but not for two, and neither would give way to the other. Wes had to go out and shovel fee path wider to keep peace among the cows.

Mrs. Lawrence (Valeria) Tonkin Here it is good old Valentine's Day and it looks more like Christmas. Back in my youth, when fee world was warmer, I always thougnt of Valentine's Day as a spring-type holiday. Perhaps that is be­ cause love and the spring seem to go together. Back in those dear dead days, we used to spend considerable time picking out just the right message for just the right people. I can remember going to fee dime store and deliberating for hours before making a purchase. There was always the lacy type card with the lit­ tle red hearts on it wife fee icky message about love and rot like that, which was bought for that very special little girl who sat across fee room. You re­ member feat girls. She always wore a ribbon in her hail. She was an expen at paste pot and coloring. Her drawings, which always among the best display­ ed on fee big board in the front offee room, were • of yellow haired little dolls wife round eyes radia­ ting eyelashes. The store always had a good supply of little cards cut out in the shape of automobiles and cow boys on horses. These Were for the rest of fee kids in fee class. Perhaps a teal special friend would rate some­ thing feat folded out, or that was hinged and pin­ ned in such a way that it appeared to be rather ani­ mated when properly manipulated.

Woodard's Mobil Service THE ECHO �of December, the Ms >le VaIconducted its were Julie Cranson. NanBill Linsley, Rodney PenMichigan's Conservation Department is badly out of step with the times. Even its own news releases admit to this by saying that hunters spent 3725.000 less for licenses than they did the year before. Y^ats ago, hunters were content to buy a hunting 9 license for the mere pleasure of getting outdoors and enjoying the fresh air and scenery. They had a pretty good chance to kill a deer or knock off a limit of ducks or pheasants when they went afield but few of them gave that much thought. Getting outdoors and relaxing was the big thing. Nowadays, though, we live in a different society where everything comes with a guarantee. When half-a-million hunters buy deer licenses each of them expects to get a buck, even though Michigan doesn't have that many bucks. To the American who now has almost everything in life guaranteed for him by the government, this comes as a rude shock. Quite obviously, hunting license sales are going to continue to decline uuless the Conservation De­ partment soon comes up with a new gimmick. Luck­ ily, there are a number of things they can try. How about giving green stamps with each license Curchases? The hunter who bought a regular deer cense, small game license and an assortment of bow-and-arrow deer, duck and trapping licenses could easily blow $20. Think of the bundle of stamps he could get! And. if double stamps were offered on Wednesdays, every wife in Michigan Pf1would be forcing g her husband to buy hunting licenlicen­ ses. s. The men might fight it but in the end Rhey »hey would give in to their wives. Or, maybe the Department would find it more fun - to rig up a lively bin bingo game, based on the 11­ cense serial W!‘ a numbers ___________ ' numbers. ‘ could__ be announced over all radio and television stations at noon on opening day of the hunting season. Another idea would be to have lucky grouse hunt­ ers submit a tail feather from a bird they might happen to kill, for a "Match the Tail Feathers” con­ test. We could see hunters from all over Midhigan and surrounding states excitedly trying to shoot a grouse to see if their feather might match the one in Lansing. Winners of these contests might be presented with the use of a State car for an entire year, if they were willing to share it with a State Senator. Or, possibly, the w inner might rather have a coveted position on a citizen's committee to manage the deer herd. Possibilities for prizes such as these are limited only by the imagination. Certainly something like this must be dene soon if hunting license sales are to be brought up. It is ■ quite obvious that a lot of hunters no longer believe that hunting is meant for having fun. What an old-fashioned idea! Hot Lunch Menu FEBRUARY 20 — 24 MON--Goulash, green beans, jelly sand. , mixed fruit, cookie, mil..

Had it passed, neither primary district would have had to pay any of the substantial millage that the Maple valley residents are paying for new school builduigs for three years; Both districts" residents would have paid operational millage. Mayo district has been sending its pupils, num­ bering about 20, to Maple Valley .schools, paying only a minimal tuition and bus fees. Harold Stockwell, intermediate school superinten­ dent in Barry County, said that the present status of the two primary districts could be maintained as long as they could find high school districts to take students, but that they could be cut off by action of the high school district boards. If the two districts applied to be annexed to the larger district, they probably would be accepted, but the residents would have to pay the building mill­ age immediately, as well as the operational mill­ age.

Grand Ave., Lansing IV9-6561 LARKY REEVES, Nashville 653-3351 With Michigan's ratio to doctors to population already too low, concern was great that the State Board would withhold approval of MSU's medical school request pending receipt of full plans for an osteopathic college in rhe state. These plans are not Following the Board's first vote, those concerned with the shortage of medical docton sought to em­ phasize that the need for trained personnel was a ' separate question. Most of the medical profession in Michigan has little quarrel with the osteopaths. Michigan hap­ pens to have more osteopaths practicing than most states because it is one of the few states where in­ surance companies will cover an osteopath's ser­ vices. The concern was that the State Board would weigh the osteopathic college request against Mich­ igan State's medical college application and that the already substantial need for M. D. s would in­ crease because of the delay. BE THERE! A welcome report which could mean more effic­ ient legislative activity this year came from the Republican Senate leadership at the start of the cur­ rent session. It would probably strike most casual observers as unimportant and unnecessary. Majority Leader Emil Lockwood simply said he would not approve any blanket excuses for absences from session. In previous years when the roll was called, the absentees were listed and the Majority Leader would propose to excuse all absentees from that day's session. Obviously there is no precedent for this kind of activity in private business of industry. Lockwood's position, although possibly prompted by the fact that his party holds a slim 20-18 major­ ity in the Senate, simple means that each Senator is responsible for being present every day unless he is either ill or away on official business. With aU the talk in recent yean about lawmak­ ing being a full-time job in Michigan it just makes sense that the legislaton should be conscientious a­ bout being on tap to work, as other businessmen are expected to be. True, most legislaton have been regular in at­ tendance but the absentees frequently were chronic in the habit and Lockwood's removal of the blan­ ket excuse should do much to eliminate this mal­ ady.

INA SMITH The scoreboard tells the story. Maple Valley score is on the right side of the board. Through­ out the first three periods of the game with Hamilton, last Friday, the Lions were in the lead. Never, in that time, did Hamilton really threaten and it seemed likely that the Lions would score an easy victory. Hamilton took fire in the fin­ al period, though, and blasted through with a win of 64 to 57 win. Much of the reason for the Maple Valley loss is Hamilton's Mike Brinks who made 16 of the final period's 21 points for his team. Brinks had a total of 37 points for the game. , Maple Valley, after leading through the rest of the game scored only five points in the final period.

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 16. 1967 THE VERMONTVILLE ECHO �Juvenile officer speaks here Mr. Art Olton, Juvenile officer for Barry Count­ y, spoke at the Puller Street School PTA meeting Thursday evening. The meeting was held in the All-Purpose room at the school and although the attendance was light, those who attended were very interested in the program which was presented. Following the business meeting, conducted by PTA President Phyllis Mater, Mr. Olson addressed the group. He spoke briefly about the Juvenile Court in Barry County and of his duties as the Ju­ venile officer. He stated that any person under the age of 17 yean is considered a juvenile and he stated that the primary purpose of the Juvenile Court is along the line of protection and rehabilitation. He sta­ ted the attempt is made to protect the child, where­ as in the adult court, the stress is to protect soci­ ety, then the individual. The Juvenile Court is not set up as a court of punishment. The Juvenile Court has 5 fields in which it op­ erates, namely, delinquency, theft, traffic court, licensing boarding homes and supervision of adop­ tion. At least one parent must appear with a juvenile when they appear before the traffic court. Barry County had no direct placement facility for adop­ tion but acts in a supervisory capacity. A juvenile may be detained by the court only in 4 instances: 1 - if home conditions are unsatisfactory; 2 - a run away; 3 - for further examination by doctors Local minister retires Rev. E.

Babcock points out that the fire number should be used only to report a fire or similar emergency. Chief of Police, Bob Parker, may be located by calling the Barry County Sheriff's department, W153441 and giving the message to the dispatcher. The Sheriff's department is in contact with Parker at all times and the quickest way to contact him is through the Sheriff radio. Calling the fire number for a police emergency only delays the call getting to the proper persons ano it also ties up the fire phone which should be kept open for fire emergencies.

The fire laddie* over in Vermontville are getting ready for their annual wingding. I understand the Opera House is all decorated up to a fair-thee-well and all the members of the department have press­ ed their suits and polished their shoes for the big occasion. This I understand, is the 44th annual dance held by the department. I also understand it is known among some of the ladies as the annual toe-sump"^L'he proceeds of the dance go to help buy new equipment and supplies for the department. The better the equipment, the better the service the boys can give. So the more people who buy tic­ kets, the more equipment, the better the equip­ ment, the better fire protection. Your purchase of a ticket just makes your protection that much better. When you buy a ticket you are helping yourself. One of the problems with a small organization, such as The News, is that there is no one but your­ self to blame for things that go wrong. Last week I sat down to write cut fines for the pictures in the paper. The one of the boy shoot­ ing the basket m the game with Hamilton I goof­ ed up. I really can’t find anyone else to blame for it. I knew the boy was Dave Lindberg, but while I was writing the caption I was also looking at some notes I took during the game. As a result I identified Dave with two other boys nsmu That takes some real goofing. Anyway Dave, yot> still look graceful going up to shoot the basket. JVewt pick up terviee supplied Boxes have been, placed in the Vermontville Post Office and in Johnny's Super Mart, for collection of news items for the Maple Valley News. News items and classified ads may be placed in the boxes, for the convenience of the people in that part of the Maple Valley area. Deadline for news and classified ads is Monday noon. Items will be picked up throughout the week. Some who attended that game with Hamilton, thought the officiating was not as good as it should have been. Some seemed to feel that the officials missed some of the action on the floor, and as a result, made some bad calls. . I am sure this is true. The referee at a boxing match sometimes does not see everything that goes on. The baseball umpire often calls one at second that has-she fans up in the air. The cop never sees the reckless driver go through town out he is right there to grab me when I slide through the stop street. This is a fact of life and we might as well ac­ cept it. I have never seen a baseball umpire snap his fingers and say 'oh dam, I guess the crowd is right. Come on back fellow, rll change my de­ cision to safe." As I say, I know they missed some the other night (on both sides) and I know that an official at a basketball game is bound to miss one now-andagain. I also know that it does no good for the crowd to give him a bad time about it. The team seemed to take the decision of the officials in good spirits. Some of the fans, mature men. shouted and even went so far as to tell the officials what they thought of them. None of this changed the score of the game. The only thing it did was to make the Maple Valley fans appear as sore heads. Shakespeare said it, " Things without remedy should be without reguard. What's done is done. ” All the shouting and telling off of the officials is not going to cnange the score of the game. Part of the value of a sports program in the school is to teach the participants to accept what cannot be changed and to change what can be changed.

Kalamo Diamond Look^ A fellow from Lake Odessa was telling me the other day that one of the girls on the Texas Cow­ girls basketball team is from Lake-O. I don't know which one it is, but he said she was a whiz of a basketball player when she was in school The girls play men's teams using men's rules, and they win most of their games. Of course, they clown around a lot while they are doing it. It should be an interesting game to watch. Par­ ticularity if you are a girl watcher. I am. at HELEN'S BEAUTY SHOP Benson Davis was just in to renew his subscription and while we were talking' he made some remark about being sure only of death and taxes. Then as he and I discussed it we decided that we can be more sure of taxes than we can of death. Medical science is moving death back. The life expectancy seems to be going up. Out in Califor­ nia they have even frozen a body with the idea of bringing it back to life some time in the future. At the same time they are doing this to death, they are making taxes more certain. Anything done, bought or even talked about these days is tax­ able. Pretty soon they will leave death out of it. The only thing you can really be certain of is taxes.

Mr. Christensen and his wife Marie, are the owners of the Diner Restaurant. Some 20 people attended the meeting of the Association, which was held last Friday evening in the Fuller Street School. The group decided to attempt to convert the wood fired evaporator to a gas or oil fired unit The officers and trustees of the organization were instructed to investigate the possibility of an im­ mediate conversion. It was decided by the group that operation of tbe Nashville Sugar shanty de-. > pends upon this conversion. A motion was passed that tbe Association produce syrup only should the conversion be tnpde. The Svrup Association was inactive last year and produced no syrup in the past season. Last February, Allen Brace, who was then Pres­ ident of the Association (serving his second term) called the annual meeting and only two people iq addition to tbe President and Vice President show­ ed up. Brace decided that this was evidence of a tack of interest on the part of tbe people of the ' ' •’ village. He tendered his resignation and it was decided by the officers and trustees that because t of the lack of interest in tbe project, no attempt should be made to produce syrup that year. Mrs. Valeria Tonkin, Vice President of tbe or­ ganization called for a meeting this year in an attempt to revive tbe tradition of boiling on a community basis. Tbe attendance at this year's meeting was more that the total of the last three annual meetings of the organization. Those who attended tbe meet­ ing took this to indicate that there is a revival of Road Service Day or Night OL3-3601 NASHVILLE OL3-6294 OL3-8581 Wrecker - Radio Dispatched interest in the project. Other officers elected at the meeting were Mrs. Valeria Tonkin, Vice President, Frank Scramlin, Secretary-Treasurer, Fred Ackett and James Rizor, Trustees. During the meeting it was determined that the Boy Scouts would be willing to tap the trees in town and take care of the sap providing they could find enough adults willing to supervise their acti­ vities and drive the truck. At least two farmer­ producers indicated that they would have sap to boll. A work bee started cleaning the sugar shanty last Saturday afternoon in tbe hope that the con­ version to something other than wood beat can be made and that boiling activities can start. Frank Scramlin, Secretary-Treasurer of tbe Syrup Association, reported that tbe organization has a balance of $971. 39 in the treasury. The Association has enough containers in various sizes to sun producing syrup immediately.

Maunder, and will be directed by Miss Kathryn Brawnschneider with Mrs. William Dean as organist. County leaders and members of the Eaton Coun­ ty National Farmers Organization attended a closed state wide strategy meeting at Howell re­ cently. The purpose of the meeting was to discuss plans for a milk holding action and to discuss a new ap­ proach NFO is preparing to use in an attempt to raise prices on all farm commodities at tbe farm leveL County leaders were told that tbe NFO had done everything possible to try to prevent a milk bold­ ing action but that although processors had a bet­ ter attitutde, -it looked as though they would still be talking ten years from now with no higher prices for milk to the farmer unless a holding action is called. * The NFO leaden were told that NFO is adding a new approach to its efforts to raise farm prices. Details will soon be announced. This new ap­ proach will offer farmers an opportunity to use marketing information and a structure offered by the NFO so tbe basic size of the agricultural plant can be reduced so supply can be brought in bal­ ance with demand. Vernon Boyles, County President of the Eaton County NFO said, "No one should oppose this dynamic new approach. It is something farmers have always been told they should Jo. Now they can use NFO to reduce the size of the agricultur­ al plant and bring supply in balance with demand." The county NFO leaders attending the meeting were. National Director and Mrs. Eldeen Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Keeley, Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Becraft, Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Davis, Mr. and Mrs. Roger Ash, Harold Moon, James Moon, James Grier, Ollen McLane, Nelson Simpson, Don How­ ard, Orley Landes, Gerald Lundstrum, Warren Burdick, Joe Hickev, Don Davids, Lee Wonser and Delton Mitchell. Among the guests attending from Barry County were County Chairman, Ceylon Garlinger and Mrs. Garlinger and Mr. and Mu. Jack Bradfield. The most valuable item in your wallet...

Respectfully. i Some charge cards let you charge at one store. Some other cards let you charge travel and entertainment Still others are limited to the use of only one service. When you carry a MICHIGAN BANKARD in your wallet, however, you have a card good at over 15,000 merchant outlets that sell every conceivable product and service. That’s why we call it “the most valuable item in your walet” A MICHIGAN BANKARD can save you mon­ ey, too. Instead of buying at 12 different stores one month and getting 12 monthly bills, it’s now possible to shop at 12 stores and get just one bill. When you write just one check to MICHIGAN BANKARO (for the entire bill or just a budget payment), you save at least $1.65 in checking and postage costs. With your statement, of course, you also receive copies of charges. It's the ideal way to budget and keep tax records. If you have a lot of business expense, you should request our brand “X" card. It’s a card issued with an "X" after your name and under a separate account number. Use this card for business expense only and you have an exact report to turn in and to record for income tax. If you do not now enjoy all the convenience of a MICHIGAN BANKARO, you can get an application wherever you see the "Wel­ come” sign. You can also request‘ extra ‘ cards on this form.

THE NASHVILLE NEWS MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23. 1967 THE VERMONTVILLE ECHO �NATIONAL FFA WEEK ‘Agriculture-Strength of America’ Vocational agriculture students in Maple Valley High School will join the Future Farmers of America members throughout the nation in activities to focus attention on the importance of agriculture during National FFA Week, February 18-25. "AGRICULTURE. . . Strength of America" is this year's FFA WEEK theme. The boys will undertake a campaign to inform the general public about the importance of the agricultural industry to America, the growing need for farming, and of tbe numerous and wide variety of opportunities that exist in the broad field of agriculture for young men who have a background of farm experience and training. "We have had such an abundance of food in America that people are taking agriculture for grant­ ed, " said Terry Chesebro, vocational agriculture teacher and FFA advisor. "Actually, farming is now and always has been out largest and most vital indus­ try, and it is becoming increasingly important with our expanding population. In our area, particularly, most 'of the bussinesses, and most of the jobs, are basically dependent upon surrounding farms for their existence. Take away the farms, and for all prac­ tical purposes you would destroy the entire commu­ nity. " We also want to point out the very important part that agricultural knowledge and farm products have in the nation's world commitments. Membership in the FFA is made up of students of vocational agriculture in high school. The organi­ zation's activities are designed to help develop rural leadership and good citizenship, and to stimu­ late the students tc better achievement in their study and work towards successful establishments in farming or other agricultural occupations. Spike's Friends The Maple Valley FFA Chaptdlus 43 siembets. Officers are: Pres. - Dave Shilton; Vice Pres. Ken Meade; Treasurer - Ron Olmstead; Secretary Mike Root; Reporter - Allen Decker; and Sentinel Chris Schantz. The national Future Farmer organization has approximately 450.000 members with 9,000 lo­ cal chapters in the 50 States and Puerto Rico. Future Farmers selected tbe week of George Washington's birthday for the observance of Na­ tional FFA Week. Although usually recognized as a Revolutionary War General and our first Presi­ dent, Washington's first love was the farm. He was one of the first in the nation to practice con­ tour planting, crop rotations, fertilization, and other soil conservation and improvement methods. Star L.

Kowalski announced today the appointment of Claude Burton to the Legislative Information Committee (LINC). Burton served as State Representative in the 73rd Legislature (1965-66) from the 56th District which includes the counties of Calhoun and Eaton and the cities of Charlotte, Albion, and Marshall Tbe new Legislative Information Committee will serve as an advisory council to the Democratic ' Caucus of the Michigan House of Representatives. The primary purpose for the formation of LINC is to bring a broader, statewide representation of views on public issues to the House Democratic Caucus. In announcing Burton's appointment to LINC, Representative Kowalski; said: uWe are pleased that Burton has accepted our in­ vitation to serve on the Legislative Information Committee. Burton's appointment will mean that the 56th District will be represented in the House Democratic Caucus during the coming two years. "During the years of 1965-66 Burton served in the House of Representatives as a member of the Com­ mittees on Agriculture. Drainage. Elections and Public Safety. ” "The special knowledge and experience Burton has developed through his work on these committees will be of great value to our Caucus. " "We believe that Burton's appointment to LINC will benefit the people of the 56th District, also, because Burton will.be able to represent their views directly in the House Caucus. "The election of 1966 narrowed drastically the geographic base of the Democratic Caucus in the House of Representatives. We hope to expand that base through the activities of LINC. We want to be as aware of the views of the people in the coun­ ties of Calhoun and Eaton and the cities of Charlotte, Offer Flouride program Barry County will again hold a summer Topical Flouride program this year.

"LINC will meet monthly with our Caucus to ex­ change views on the issues and programs which will be under legislative consideraticm tn 1967 and 1968. Caucus Members will have the opportunity to ex­ plain Caucus positions on issues and LINC members will have the opportunity to present the opinions of their district to the Caucus.

BACKSTREET BAROMETER We got a real good letter to' the editor which'we arc unable to print because it has not been signed with a name. The only signature on the letter is Very Unhappy Taxpayer. Letters to the editor are always welcome here and they are always used if it is at all possible to do so. However there are some ground rules to which we must adhere. In the first place, the letter must be sighed with the name of ' writer. 'Inmost cases we would prefer to-use the name of the writer because we be­ lieve that anyone who has something to say should not care if-anyone or everyone knows who is saying it. In some cases we may use a pseudoname but the true name of the writer must oe known by us. Of course, (here are some other rules. The let­ ter must be in good taste, it must contain no libel­ ous statements and it should be of general interest to the readers of the paper. The letter we have here complies with all the requirements excepting the true signature of the writer. If he would stop in the office and sign the letter we could publish it We would be happy to publish it. The letters to the editor nave always been one of the most popular features of the paper. People love to hear from other people. Sometimes it is real refreshing to get an opinion other than that of the editor. Many lany folks observe things that the tirec old editor didn't know a thing about. This is one of those letters that points this up. So - If Very Unhappy Taxpayer will drop in and sign the letter we will publish it.

I think some rural schools have been vo­ ted into the town school when the rural school want­ ed to remain by itself. This was accomplished by counting all votes together. This is wrong. The rural school should have the say about what it wants to do. I was educated in a rural school apd thought I received a good education.

Douse, son of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Douse, Jr. of Nashville, has been initiated into the Michigan State University chapter of Phi Eta Sigma, national freshman men's honor society. Steven is majoring in political science. Students must have a 3. 5 grade point average (A-) for at least one term during their freshman INTERIOR PAINTING & DECORATING year to be initiated. Phi Eta Sigma'is the only freshmen honorary with branches at major universities. The MSU chapter was founded in 1954 to encour­ age scholarship among freshman men. It also functions as a service organization and distributes "How To Study” pamphlets. MINOR REPAIRS YEARS OF EXPERIENCE -CALL 1 Forty three boys in Cub Scout organization There are forty-three boys in Nashville and the surrounding area who have indicated an in­ terest in joining or have already joined the Cub Scouts. There are seven dens which hold meetings once a week and there is a Pack meeting the third Tuesday of every month at 7:00 pm at the VFW Halt The pack meetings are held to give the boys an opportunity to demonstrate or display their of the projects started in the den meetings, parents are urged to attend all pack meetings if at all possible as this is where the Cubs are recog­ nized for their achievements accomplished. There seems to be the misunderstanding that Cub Scouting is all taken care of in the den meet­ ings. This is not the case. Cubbing, as all phases of Scouting, is a cooperative organization to bring the parents (fathers) closer to their boys, starting a father-son relationship which will grow through the years. This is why the Scouting achievements must be signed by the parents before the scout can receive his award. Also, many of the achievements need the parent's help to complete. Scouting, in all phases from Cubbing through Ex­ plorer, helps not only the boys involved but the whole community. Earl Hose is the local neighborhood commis­ sioner and all persons interested in helping in any way are urged to contact Mr. Hose.

Morning Worship 11:00 am Evening Worship 7:00 pm Prayer Meeting, Wed 7:30 pm • Remember your fine car and all the good timer you bad with it on those hunting and fishing trips, picnict and other family outings? Ever wonder what happened to it after you traded it in for a sleek new model? We bate to mention it but chancer are it ended up in a junkyard like the onei which line many of our highways. The thought of that sort of gets you right here, doesn't it? Well, last year for a time it looked like help was on the way. During that session of Congress, Sena­ tor Paul Douglas of Illinois introduced a bill call­ ing for "proper burial" of old cars. An admitted secondary purpose was to clean up those old high­ way junkyard eyesores. The Douglas bill got lost in the shuffle and, last November, as you probably know by now, Senator Douglas did too, wnen .be was defeated for re­ election by new Senator Charles Percy. , Actually, we hope somebody else will now take up his junk car bill and carry it through to com­ pletion. Here's what it would do: Each new car, when purchased, would carry with it funds for is ultimate disposal. With 30 to 40 million junk cars disfiguring our countryside from coast to coast, it is getting to be a problem sometimes to even find places to pile them up. = . The right kind of bill would amend the Solid Waste.,Disposal Act of 1965 and set up a program to dispose of the accumulation of junk jalopies. It would authorize the President to develop a pro­ gram for the purchase, storage and resale of scrap from old and wrecked autos. It would also en­ courage development of improved scrap processing techniques and assist states and localities in creat­ ing practical programs for disposal of junk cars. It was Douglas who was largely responsible for retaining permanently a minimum federal excise tax of one percent on the sale of new automobiles. His idea was that the cost of junk auto disposal should be bone by those who buy cars. Funds would be appropriated annually to finance the "decent burial4 program, within the amount col­ lected by the one percent permanent federal ex­ cise tax. We can't help but believe that somewhere out there, in the vastness of wherever it is that dead television prograrrtt go, that "My Mother the Car" must be wiping a bit of moisture from her head­ lights as she hopes someone will see a bill like this through to completion. There’s even some­ thing beautiful in junk, isn't there? BARRYVIUE METHODIST Rev.

The Nashville Volunteer Fire Depanmem held a twits steak dinner out at the Mapleleaf Grange Hall but they really didn't ger a chance to finish their '— dessert when the siren Mew. Fire Chief Babcock got up and announced that the firemen bad to run (right in the middle of dessert) because there was a fire alarm. Turned out to be a chimney burning out, so they were back to the party before too long. . The women folks decided something though durSthe meeting. They decided that the men should have all the fun of going to fire conventions and being visiting firemen alone. The women are en­ gaged in a selling campaign (check the classifieds) to raise enough money to finance a trip to the Mich­ igan State Fire Convention with the men. The Convention is to be held at Port Austin in June. Mt Editor; The dog owners of this county are paying a high dog license fee for nothing and don't realize it 1. Over the last three yean a $26,533.82 sur­ plus from dog fees which was supposed to be used to build an animal shelter was put into the gen­ eral fund and spent for other purposes. Where did this money go? 2. If that money plus this year's surplus of $8,000 were available, it would pay for the $34,823 new shelter. 3. At the last meeting of the board of county * supervisors, a second assistant prosecutor was hired at $6,500 a year. Why should dog ownen pay for this with dog taxes, when we haven't money to build a shelter? 4. If we aren't going to have a dog shelter, why do we have dog taxes at all? 5. I urge the people of Eaton county to look at their dog shelter, where a number of dogs have frozen to death. Then they should call their su­ pervisor and make him explain the above without a lot of excuses. Also ask him why land was ob­ tained for the shelter last fall, but nothing has been done since. 6. Would you like your pet to be picked up and taken to our old shelter, where it could easily catch distemper and die or freeze? W inter is hanging on by the teeth, but at least some folks are thinking of spring. In Vermontville most of the trees have been tap­ ped and the buckets hung. I'm sure there is no sap at this time, but they will be ready when it does come. In Nashville we are in the process of installing a new conversion burner to boil the sap. The burner consists of five big gas jets, operated on natural gas which will take the place of endless cords of wood and many hours of hard labor firing the evaporator. The conversion should be comple­ ted by now (all they were waiting for Monday was one part to finish the job) and we should be all set to boil as soon as the sap starts to flow. Over in Vermontville they have set up the first meeting of the Festival Committees and have start­ ed to make plans for that big day. So it looks as if someone expects spring. I hope they are right I hope it does come. My sister and brother-in-law went on an extended trip of South America, and for three months were in the summer of the year while we were going through the cold winter, They were to take a boat from Rio back to New Orleans and were all ready to board the ship when they decided that they should go swim­ ming at least once before taking off for the north again. So they went to Copacabana Beach to take a dip before departing. Aileen left her glasses on because she didn't intend going in very far, and was certain­ ly not going to get her head wet. That is what she A nig wave came along and knocked her head over heels, and when she came up sputtering, the glasses were gone. They made signs to the kids on the beach trying to tell they what they were looking for. They made rings around their eyes with their fingers while they tried to explain. With just four hours to go before the boat left, ~~ they went to an optometrist's office and tried to ex­ plain to him what the problem was. He spoke only Portuguese and they only English but he finally got the idea. He tested her eyes in Portuguese and she . answered in English, but they did get the new set of glasses in time to make the boat. , V Funeral services were hel l Saturday, March 4 from the Lehman Funeral Home in Bellevue for Ear] M.

X- ■<»» -• Dear Sir; We realize our paper doesn't have a "Action Line Section" but we are in hopes some action can be gotten by writing you this line. Our "gripe" if it can be called that is the ques­ tion of parking. Nashville is our town. We shop here, we pay taxes here and my wife works here. Now then why do some people nave the privilege of parking 8 hrs. on Main Street after receiving a . warning ticket while others are forced to park at least one block off Main Street? We realize we must have laws but we were under the impression they were made for everyone. Is it a case of not "what you know but who you know"? Our car was ticketed for parking half a block off Main Street in a 2 hour zone. This was a warning along with instructions that the car would have to be at least one full block from Main Street or the next ticket Would be for sure. Now at the same time we received the warning ticket so did other . . individuals continue to park 8 hrs. on Main Street and nothing has been dpne so far. Why? Are they ' and some of the others special or vchat? Maybe I am wrong for feeling this way but Should there be "specials” in our town. Either enforce it for all or pull down the signs. What do you think? If this note shows a tint of hard feelings it should because we feel that way. Thank you for your time of reading this.

The hill, termed "far worse than anything Dodd ever dreamed of," contains a preamble which claims that gum (not people) are the cause of crime. Juvenile delinquency, etc. Among other things, the LBJ Guo Bill would: Forbid the purchase of any type of firearms by . mail ' Forbid the purchase of any pistol except in the state of residence Allow "over the counter" purchase of rifles and shotguns. However, the Secretary of the Treasury would be given dictatorial powers to regulate gun sales or Ownership as he sees fit. Since the Treas' ury Secretary serves at the pleasure of the President of the United States, it would give President John­ son full control of every type of firearm. In so doing, it would over-ride the Constitution of the United States! • > 6th grades will be held Friday March 10 at the Kel­ logg School in Nashville.

Committees listed for Maple Syrup Festival The Vermontville Firemen met with the Vermont­ ville township supervisor, Gerald Siple, Monday evening for the purpose of discussing the establish­ ment of an emergency ambulance. The firemen have been handling such runs in the past, but some phases must be revamped. The suggestions made at this meeting will be taken to the township hoard for approval, and after the plans are worked out there will undoubtedly be a 90-day trial of the new plan. The firemen would prefer to further, their first aid courses if they continue to make the emer­ gency runs, and they stressed the fact that they would handle only the most urgent calls. The firemen cleared approximately $240 at their recent dance. No decision has been made as to the equipment they will purchase with the money. There was some discussion of another summer fire schooL This too will be cleared through the township board. Coaches attend meeting Burr Hartenburg and Bill Little will head up the Pancake and Wood Chopping Contests. Mis. Mildred Martin and Olive Cory are the mem bership committee. Mary Malcuit will be in charge of exhibits. The dance committee is composed of Leo Malcuit, Vernon Trowbridge and Jim Wion. The Clean-up committee is headed by Bob Shaw. The Expressway League athletic association met in Middleville Monday evening. Attending the session from the Maple Valley schools were coaches Jim Wynes, Bill Gibbs and Ralph Kirk.

They sailed to William Penn’s Philadelphia and from there they spread fanwise through the rolling foothills and fertile valleys of Pennsylvania. Religion is still a guiding force in this part of the country, noticeable not so much in the Gay Dutch, who look and behave much like everyone else, but in the Plain People—the Mennonites, Amish, Dunkers and River Brethren—who cling to their austere customs, sober dress and simple farm life. Their farmers markets are something! In this age of modem packaging and transportation you would be entranced by the stalls of vegetables, herbs, flower bouquets, homemade preserves and pickles, homemade bread and smoked meats — all exuding with the flavor and freshness of just being picked or prepared within days. Here are a few of their fine old recipes which will show you why their regional cookery is sec­ ond to none. O SHOO-FLY PIE - .

Ptatt writ* ftr ay fret hrfwasti** �by Betty Curran he development of leaner pork from meat-type hogs, through breeding and feeding by producer and closer trimming of fat by meat packers and retailers, means more edi­ ble pork per pound to the homemaker today. A serving of cooked pork supplies not only a generous amount of high quality protein, needed for growth, maintenance and repair of body tissues; but substantial levels of all the B vitamins. Fresh pork includes loin, picnic shoulders, boston butt, leg, steaks, chops, and sausage. Recent research on rib and loin pork roasts has shown that roasting fresh pork to an internal temperature of only 170°F. (shown on meat thermometer) makes it juicier and less­ ens cooking time and shrinkage. The new internal temperature, while 15 degrees lower than previously recommended, is still at least 30°F. above the temperature required to render rib or loin pork roast safe for eating. However, these findings are not directly appli­ cable to other cuts of pork. Whether you choose to roast, braise, boil, or broil fresh pork in the following recipes, you'll have delicious results. T PORK CHOP 'N APPLE CASSEROLE 4 lean loin pork chops (trim partially if fat is excessive) salt 1 tablespoon shortening 4 cups sliced tart cooking 94 cup raisins 1 teaspoon grated lemon 94 cup dark molasses 94 cup water Preheat oven to 350°. Sprinkle pork chops with salt; saute in shortening-until brown. Mix together apples, raisins and lemon rind and place in 2 quart greased baking dish. Combine molasses and water; pour over apple mixture. Top with browned pork chops. Co-.-er and bake 1 hour. Remove cover and bake 94 hour more. Yield: 4 servings. . THREE WAY PORK SHOULDER ROAST Be economy minded. Select a large pork shoulder roast (about 6 pounds). Ask the butcher to cut off four pork steaks. Have a good-sized chunk cut off the other end—about 194 pounds to cube for chop suey. Have the meat man weigh the remaining roast so you can accurately figure cooking time. Pork Shoulder Steaks To braise, brown the steaks in a little hot fat, then add a little liquid and cover. Cook over low heat 45 minutes or until steaks are tender. Suitable braising liquids are water, bouillon, or fruit juice. If the liquid cooks away add more, a small amount at a time. Chop Suey Z94 pounds diced pork ' 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup sliced mushrooms IVs cups bouillon or (optional) water 3 tablespoons 4 tablespoons corn­ shortening starch 1 cup sliced onions 3 tablespoons soy sauce 794 cups sliced celery 1 can bean sprouts, 1 teaspoon ginger drained Cook pork and mushrooms in hot shortening until lightly browned. Add onions, celery, seasonings and bouillon; cover and cook until tender, about 30 min­ utes. Thicken with cornstarch mixed to a paste with a little water. Add soy sauce and bean sprouts and cook slowly for 15 minutes. Season to taste and serve on hot rice or fried noodles. 6 servings. Pork Shoulder Roast Season with salt and pepper and roast uncovered in a 35O°F. oven 50 minutes per pound. SPARERIBS - CHERRY RICE STUFFING 4 pounds spareribs 1 teaspoon salt ' " H,teaspoon pepper 1 can (16 ounces) red, tart pitted cherries, drained 2 cups cooked rice Vs cup finely chopped celery 94 teaspoon salt 94 cup brown sugar, packed 1 egg, beaten 94 cup sugar 1 tablespoon cornstarch 94 cup cherry juice Cut spareribs into pieces of approximately 2 ribs each. Season with 1 teaspoon salt and pepper. Mix to­ gether cherries, rice, celery, 94 teaspoon salt, sugar and egg. Spread one half of the sparerib pieces with stuffing, using about 94 cup for each. Cover with the remaining sparerib pieces, turning rib ends down. Place spareribs on a rack in an open roasting pan and roast in a moderate oven (350°F.) 194 hours. Mix together sugar and cornstarch. Add cherry juice and cook, stirring constantly, until thickened and clear. Spoon half the cherry glaze over the spareribs and continue cooking 15 minutes. Add the re­ maining glaze and cook for another 15 minutes or until meat is done and glaze is set. 6-8 servings. PORK LOIN ROAST 4-6 pound pork loin roast Salt 3 pork steaks 1 tablespoon shortening Apricot Sauce 2 cups dried apricots salt, few grains 94 cup sugar Salt - 2 teaspoons lemon juice ’A teaspoon ground cloves Wash dried apricots, cover with boiling water and let soak for 1 hour. Add a few grains of salt and simmer until tender. Add sugar, lemon juice, and cloves, and cook 10 minutes longer. Flour 3 pork steaks and brown in a little hot fat. Sprinkle with salt. Pour apricot sauce over steaks, cover pan, and simmer 35 minutes, or until tender. (Or bake at 350°F.) Add a little more water during cooking. Serve with apricot sauce (as is, or pressed through a sieve to make a smooth sauce.)

And even though bacteria and viruses are the pathological cause of these costly outbreaks, the real- culprit is often the “cloud of confusion” surrounding the scours complex, say animal health experts. “Many producers believe scours is a single disease for which there should be an effective means of control. This is far from true. Different forms of diarrhea or scours rpay look alike, but there are many causes, both known and un­ known. And the often over-looked fact is that treatment must vary with the disease." That’s how a Nebraska veterinary scientist sums up the scours picture. Over the years, many labels and symptoms have been tagged onto bacterially caused scours. The following names are the ones most often referred to by researchers. Swine Scours, or Dysentery. A highly fatal inflammation of the large intestine. Bloody diarrhea is the leading symptom. Infection can spread from one animal and throughout the herd within a week. Diarrhea shows up about the sixth day and blood a day or two later. Some pigs die sud­ denly, while others linger two weeks or more. Those that recover are usually unthrifty. Calf Scours. Once the bacteria get into a bam, calf scours will attack nearly ail new-born calves. • Animals become dull and weak, have sunken eyes, breathe fast, and have low temperatures. In chronic cases, calves lose weight, become pot-bellied and die within a few weeks. Infection usually occurs from nursing an infected udder or sucking contaminated objects in the bam or yard. Winter Dysentery. This disease usually occurs among stabled cattle between December and March. The disease is usu­ ally mild and rarely causes death. Yet, milk production slips drastically in some cases, and cows go out of condition. A few herds in a neighborhood are usually hit first. Then winter dysentery spreads quickly throughout the area. Microbes often hitchhike a ride on shoes and clothing from one farm to another. Primary symptom is a watery diarrhea, usually brown or black. In severe cases, the diarrhea may be tinged with blood. Temperatures may go as high as 103 degrees Fahrenheit. Scouring often stops by the end of the third day and the disease usually clears up in three days to a week. Coccidiosis. One-celled coccidia organism attacks are widespread among farm animals; only horses are immune. As a rule, coccidia are specific — those attacking cattle won’t strike pigs, and vice versa. -■ Outbreaks frequently hit harder where livestock are crowded together. . Overcrowding cuts doyn an.ijnals’ resistance and makes them susceptible to the coccidia. Bloody diarrhea, anemia, loss of weight and general weakness are most common symptoms. Ani­ mals appear constipated and feces are stringy and covered with mucous. A non-fatal form of coccidiosis, sometimes mistaken for calf scours, often hits during the second month of life. . Transmissible Gastro-Enteritis is a severe, watery diarrhea. TGE has knocked out 300 to 400 pigs on a single farm. Wisconsin scientists say farmers can expect severe losses in pigs born I i less than a week before an outbreak and less than a week after TGE hits. Infectious Virus Diarrhea: Similar to TGE, this virus was first discovered in southeast Iowa several years ago, and has now been found in most midwest states. Although somewhat less deadly, the disease closely resembles TGE. Generally, symptoms of TGE and infectious virus diarrhea are these: Watery diarrhea, vomiting and dehydration, with greatest death loss in baby pigs. Control methods are also the same: Proper disposal of dead pigs, isolation pf infected animals, good sanitation and controlled traffic on the farm and in hog lots, say Purdue Universityjesearchers, the first to recognize TGE. Major difference seen so far between the two look-alike diseases is that little immunity is produced in swine after recov­ ering from infectious virus diarrhea. TGE infected hogs are usually immune to any future outbreak. Also, . ' older hogs appear to be more severely affected by the new virus. Preventing Scours in the Swine Herd 1. Introduce only known healthy animals to the herd. Healthy-appearing pigs carrying harmful disease germs can introduce disaster into a healthy herd. 2. Separate pigs by age. Young pigs can become fatally sick from bac­ teria and viruses not affecting older pigs. House feeder pigs away from the farrowing house. * 3. Rest farrowing houses at least a week between farrowings. Viruses live in a dormant state outside the animal’s body. One infected pig in the barn serves as a burning ember to ignite a new fire. . 4. Attempt to group farrowings in one barn within a few days. This avoids a germ buildup. Since infections are progressive, starting with ' one pig or a few pigs, bacteria and viruses multiply to infect other pigs. Newborn pigs farrowed later into a barn full of sick pigs may be over­ whelmed by the large number of germs present. 5. Be sure all newborn pigs get immunity-producing first milk (colos­ trum). In large litters, smaller pigs may be continually bullied aside. Help these pigs get at least one good nursing of first milk. The pig get­ ting no milk may be the one starting the chain reaction of diarrhea. Prevention in the Dairy Barn 1. Dry off newborn calves, then paint navels with tincture of iodine. Wash the cow’s udder with a milk chlorine solution to kill bacteria. Be sure calves nurse within an hour. Calves usually won’t be strong enough to overeat for 12 hours. 2. Make certain calves get colostrum for one to three days. Teach them to drink from a bucket during the first day. 3. Carefully regulate feeding after the first 12 hours. Overeating causes indigestion, which in turn lowers resistance and leads to scours. 4. Feed normal-sized calves twice a day, but small or weak calves three times a day for the first week. Keep utensils dean. Dirty equipment is one of the leading causes of scouring and calf losses. 5. Keep only one calf in a pen until at least a week after weaning. Al­ low a minimum of 24 square feet of space.-If calves are raised together in one pen, they should be within two months of the same age. Each calf should have at least 80 square feet of space. 6. Use solid partitions between individual calf pens to reduce drafts. 7. Keep temperature as uniform as possible and keep pens and bedding dry. 8. Provide proper ventilation. Calves can stand fresh air better than the warm, stale, humid conditions existing in shut-up barns. 9. Clean pens with soap and water and t disinfect them to ♦- a �how AMI BEN can help you avoid a shattering experience: (And other harvesting losses.) A weedy field of ripe beans means trouble. You lose when you have to hit the bean stalks too hard with the combine reel because of big weeds or grass. You lose if you wait for the weeds to brown and the moisture level of the beans drops. (4 to 5 bushels per acre can end up on the ground.) You lose when your combine harvests so many tough weeds, that beans ride over the screen with the trash and back on the field. Enough about what you can lose. With Amiben weed and grass control you WIN. More beans produced — more beans harvested. Enough more to pay for Amiben many times over. Better beans — more beans in the hopper instead of on the ground, and you get more for them. That's the Amiben story. You get control of more weeds and grasses than with any other soybean herbicide. Dependable, full season control. You’ll never know how high your soybean yields can go until you use Amiben. �YUGOSLAVIAN PAVILION AUSTRALIAN PAVILION BRITISH PAVILION UNITED NATIONS PAVILION CANADIAN RAILWAYS PAVILION. FRENCH CANADIAN VILLAGE MEXICAN PAVILION expo 67 HEART OF EXPO 67 Gigantic Birthday Party Opens Next Month orth America’s biggest and fanciest birthday party is taking shape in Montreal, Canada just 40 miles north of the United States border and it is taking shape on two islands and a penin­ , sula in the St. Lawrence River. They call it Expo 67 and it is nothing but one of the grandest frostings and one of the biggest cakes and it is celebrating Can­ ada’s 100th anniversary as a Confederation. Expo 67 Centennial Exposition will last for six months—beginning April 28,1967 and ending October 27, 1967. It will stack up as the greatest short term tourist migration ever recorded. Like most other world expositions, Expo 67 will carry a theme which will test the ingenuity and stimulate the intelligence of the participants. The pavilions and special events of Expo 67 will portray "Man and His World." The theme will be expressed through five major subthemes depicting man as explorer, creator, provider, producer and a member of the community. Reaffirming its long standing friendship with Canada, the United States is building one of the largest and most eye catching pavilions as a result of a $9,300,000 appropriation by. Congress. The communist world will be represented by the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Cuba. American visitors are sure to be impressed by the United States Government’s bid to steal the Expo 67 show. The United States pavilion will be the tallest on the grounds—a 20-story alu­ minum framed plastic bubble. The exhibit will portray “Creative America." The Soviet Union is mounting a formidable challenge to the & United States pavilion. Moscow has disclosed plans to erect a pavilion topped by a cantilevered roof. It will cost some $15 million. Britain, France, Italy, Australia, West Germany, Japan, Israel, Brazil, India, Mexico all are preparing elaborate pavilions. At Afri­ ca Place, 22 nations of that continent will demonstrate how they are striving and striding into the modem era. The five Scandinavian countries are joining hands in the pa­ vilion which will show the finest in design and culture. The na­ tions of the Arab League are sponsoring a cooperative pavilion and the Latin American nations will jointly host the exciting Plaza 'de las Americas. Even the site of Expo 67 is exciting — concentrated on two largely man made islands in the St Lawrence river, it is a scant few minutes from downtown Montreal (Canada’s liveliest c ty and <*>... the second largest french speaking city in the world). N Those who attended the New York World’s Fair will remember the long lines in front of the pavilions. Well, officials at Expo 67 are determined to make standing in line an entertaining experi­ ence. Visitors waiting in line at pavilions will be entertained by troubador units; singers, dancers, skaters, clowns and magicians. Four such troops will tour the grounds constantly as wiH a march­ ing band. - ' . To stress the interrjational flavor of Expo 67, visitors will be issued tickets in the form of "passports” that closely resemble the genuine article. The purchase of a “passport” will entitle the visior to the Expo 67 grounds with free admission into the national and theme pavilions and unlimited rides oh the air conditoned Expo Express circulating throughout the site. Gate admission prices are $2.50 for one day passport; Vi price for children aged 2 to 12; $12.00 for a 7-day passport; $35.00 for a season passport. These passports are already on sale at numerous banks, depart­ ment stores, etc. in the United States. Americans are sure to draw comparisons between the Mon­ treal Expo 67 and the recent New York World’s Fair. Actually the two have little in common. New York’s Fair had no official sanc­ tion by the Bureau of International Expositions so only 24 foreign countries took part. Expo 67 will have three times as many par­ ticipants from abroad. Expo 67’s 1,000 acre site is more than 50% larger than the New York Fair site in Flushing Meadow, yet easily traveled by Expo Express, which will be free to all visitors. Expo 67 will shut down permanently after six months while New York’s event spanned into two seasons. Sponsorship makes another ma­ jor difference in the two. The New York event was a private under­ taking while Expo 67 is sponsored by the governments of Quebec and the city of Montreal. It is not planned as a profit making en­ terprise. Expo 67 won’t make a nickel. In fact, it will probably close its books with a deficit of $80 million or more. See you in Canada at Expo 671!

They heard some startling news on corn and soy­ bean production. And, they got a look ahead peek at what to expect in the future with these two crops: Planting techniques; new field equipment on the market, and just how important a factor the weather is if the farmer utilizes prop­ er fertilization, insect control, and weed control. r A Visit with J, W. Ralph Bishop, Tipton, Indiana Layton Burns and Clarence Freese of Gilman, Iowa, had an exciting and interesting experi­ ence with 20-inch row com last season. In spite of adverse weather they were able to top their best previous average by more than 20 bushels per acre, because of the better soil moisture conserving ability of narrow rows. “You can't put a $5,000 boar in a dirty pen and expect to reap the harvest.** 'Sanitation, feeding, breeding, management—they all work hand-in-hand.” “TNT gives us the added benefits ' from ' the ' feed ' we need to avoid problems.** National Soybean Yield champ, John Reiser, says there's no hocus-pocus to producing 82- bushel bean yields. "Just be on time with the right combination of ingredients," he says. “We run a tight operation ...hut we’d have problems without TNT” C. W. "Skip" Hammond, Nebraska City, Ne­ braska, switched to narrow row com last year Ralph Bishop has been raising champion­ ship Hampshire breeding stock since 1930. Here’s why he uses TNT . . . even though he doesn’t have major health problems: “We’re always going to have certain bugs around. They can affect growth. And if pigs weigh 15 pounds when they should be weighing 30, they’ll never make it up. They’re money losers. “We’re strict on sanitation. But if we’re going to get the terrific kind of growth we expect today, we’ve got to have added bene­ fits from the feed. “TNT in the feed gives us those benefits. I’m highly pleased with the results. I don’t think I could afford to go without it. “Sure, I’d rec­ ommend TNT. Truth of the mat­ ter, I already have ... to a party who was having prob­ lems. I highly rec­ ommended TNT to him.” TNT.

Narrow Corn Row Survives Weather Test in Iowa The weather around Central Iowa wasn’t the best for corn this year. But even with a severe weather hardship, Layton Burns and his son-in-law Clarence Freese of Gilman, Iowa, managed to harvest 130 bushels per acre from 325 acres of corn. < “We didn’t get the yield we had fig­ ured on because of weather and wind but we’re real happy,” says Burns. Then he continued, “Too, the ear size was smaller than it should have been because we had a higher population than we had planned on. However, the 20-inch row corn has a decisive advantage because it conserves the moisture quite a bit better. We also used chemicals to control weeds and didn’t cultivate at all '.. which also helps to conserve our soil moisture.” Burns and Freese feel that 20-inch .. row com is the coming thing, and it isn’t far off.” National Soybean Champion Appeared at 25 Clinics John Reiser, Cass county, Illinois, who set a national soybean produc­ tion record of 82.7 bushels per acre in 1965 appeared at 25 of the ComSoybean Clinics this winter. He told how he produced soybean yields more than double the national -average. Reiser is the first to admit that there is no hocus-pocus to grow­ ing 80-bushel soybeans. “It takes good land, plenty of fertilizer, weed control, early planting, a high-yielding’variety and a good shake from the weatherman,” he says. “I found that soybeans don’t suffer a bit under a continuous cropping program, but you have to build up the ground to keep yields up.” Nebraskan Makes $U0 More Per Acre “I think we’ll eventually have broadcast corn, and harvest it with a regular reel-type combine head,” says *C. W. “Skip” Hammond, Nebraska City, Nebraska. Hammond is one of several hundred farmers who switched to 20-inch corn rows in 1966, and whose experiences formed the basis of a comprehensive narrow row report at the 1967 Com-Soybean Clinics. For a year that was far from ideal weather-wise, Hammond’s 20-inch com came through in great shape. “We had folks come out and look at our crop late in the season, see those smaller than average ears and tell us the crop was a bust Well sir,” said Hammond, “what they were looking at turned out to be a yielder of 177 bushels of 16% moisture com.” Hammond’s ’66 crop grossed about $193 per acre figuring $1.25 com. His expenses were $97 per acre, leav­ ing the operation with a net profit of about $96 per acre. Says Hammond, “I would imagine we increased our income $35-40 per acre by planting our com in 20-inch rows.” Clyde Hight, Corn Yield Holder Was Clinic Crowd Pleaser Clyde Hight, Moweaqua, Illinois, com-growing sensation, spoke at a number of the 1967 Corn-Soybean Clinics. Hight is the farmer who shat­ tered all previous com yield records in 19Q5 and even did well under ex­ tremely unfavorable conditions in 1966. Farmers Winning The Bug Battle Each year insects cost corn and soybean producers hundreds of thou­ sands of dollars in lost profits. The American Indians had a saying when they grew com: “One for the bug, one for the crow, one to rot and one to grow.” Many farmers still sit back and accept this insect loss to their crops. Today’s top profit fanners apply a soil insect “insurance plan.’’ The cost? Less than $3 per acre. The re­ turn? An average of an extra 10 bushels per acre. And, when soil in­ sect damage is severe, it can mean a difference of 30 to 40 bushels per acre, or saving an entire crop which would otherwise be lost Narrow Row Corn Gives 25% Increase In Drought Area Drought was precisely the story on David Brewer’s Indiana farm last season. A total of only two inches of rain fell from the time the com was planted until it was harvested. Yet, his 20-inch corn rows came through with 100 bushel yields, 25 bushels more than most of the 40-inch corn in his area. His story is but one of several testimonials to modem farming methods that were docu­ mented this past season and were pre­ sented as part of the Com-Soybean Clinics. The preceding year was an ideal year for com. Brewer had one of the best crops ever. He harvested 140 bushels per acre in 38-inch rows, and was waiting for the opportunity to increase yields by going to narrow rows. Last spring he made the big move and bought a new 20-inch 12row planter. Brewer’s brother-in-law, Warren Davidson, farms adjoining acreage and made the switch to nar­ row rows at the same time—sharing use of the new equipment “We found a lot of things we like about narrow rows,” the pair says. “One is the way the 8-row com head picks up downed com. It was really amazing how much more corn we saved,” they continued. Brewer and Davidson make no apologies for this year’s “less than expected crop.” They figure 20-inch rows still gave them a 25% increase in yield over 40-inch rows, even in a near-brought year. They figure also to be able to utilize nutrients applied that weren’t used last year. There’s no doubt about varieties Higher yields, bigger profits, proved year after year by farmers all across the country The remarkable yield power of DeKalb XL Corn Varieties is shown again in 1966 reports from farmers entered in the DeKalb 200-Bushel Club program. The authenticated yields below were mechanically harvested, without gleaning, from carefully measured acreages. All checks were veri­ fied by responsible witnesses, and yields* were figured in bushels of No. 2 com per acre. Plant your next com crop to DeKalb XL Single­ Cross and 3-Way Hybrids.

We also saw a robin the same day. He took this to mean that spring had come to o u r area at long last. I hated to tell Shorty, but I think the robin is one of those idiot type robins who doesn't know enough to fly south in the winter. The woodchuck probably had insomnia and couldn't sleep. Despite running of the sap, the arrival of the robins, the awak­ ening of the woodchuck, we could still have a bit of winter weather. I hope we don't though.

Gladys and Ralph Richardson came back a week or so ago. Gladys had a cold, and Ralph was bush­ ed from driving over the icy roads. They said that one morning down there in the sunny south, the water froze up. That didn't even happen to us up here. Isabelle and Bob Pfaff came back last week end. They played it smart and went way down in the Keys where it stayed fairly warm. babelie said they played golf every day. In all fairness though. I should let you know, Isabelle would play golf in zero weather if she could find anyone to go along with her. St. Pat's day is on the way again and it brings to mind those wonderful good old days. Back i n those days, our whole neighborhood celebrated St. Patrick's Day with wearing of green and the sing­ ing of Irish songs. This despite the fact that the nniv Irish Irish C'arlmlir^ an isolated family of only Catholics were an Kennedys. Mn. Kennedy, the true soul of Irish wit, if not Irish tact, once said to my mother, "Mis. Boughton, ain't it a shame that all of your children look like your husband? Dear sir; During the week of March 12-18, the 6000 Girl Scouts of the Giowine Embers Girl Scout Council, are celebrating the 53th birthday of Girl Scouting in the United States of America. During these 55 years. Girl Scout program and uniforms have changed to keep up with the times, but the Girl Scouts' Promise to" ... do my duty to God add my country, to help other people at all times, and to obey the Girl Scout Laws," is as fresh and vital today as it was 55 years ago. As President of the Glowing Embers Girl Scout Council, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the 1100 volunteer men and women who have helped to make Giri Scouting possible for girls in this area. Because of their leadership, the girls of today will be better prepared to assume their responsibil­ ity for the future. What could be more worth Sincerely, Elizabeth Harper Mrs. Malcolm Harper, pres. Glowing Embers Girl Scout Council The following article from Buzz Youngs column. Armchair Athlete of the Hastings Banner will be of interest to many of our readers. Remember Ken Beardsley of Vermontville who set a State prep strikeout record of 209 in 11, seven inning games in 1947? Ken is now considered one of the ablest pitching coaches in baseball by the Pitts­ burgh Baseball Club, with which he has been associ­ ated since 1960. . He vovers Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Ontario for the Pirates, and his duties also include running several tryout camps each year in Michigan. He also works with pitchers the Pirates are interested in. Ken scouts all college and as many high school games as possible, and covers tournaments. Ken has 21 boys in the organization, including Roger Hayward from Pontiac Northern. While In high school Ken struck out 25 batters a­ gainst Holt in 1949. This was a 10-inning contest. He pitched eight, no-hit games while in nigh school at Vermontville in three seasons. His' career record for strikeouts is 340 in 18, seven-inning games. We especially remember Vermontville playing against Middleville in 1947 when he struck out 25 batters. Ken tripled in the 11th and scored when Sledge drove him home. Only Corrigan and Richardson reached first base for Middleville. The win gave ’ Vermontville the Eaton-Barry-Ionia title in tne game played at the fair ' In ,pro ball,. Ken won lost but nine his last two years in pro baseball. He was only 23 when he was injured while with the New York Yankee's farm club, Richmond, Va., of the AAA International League. He still holds several minor league Strike­ out records, according to his scouting supervisor. Jim Maxwell Junior Clatt Play ‘Shy Guy’ March IB -17 JR. - SR.

Maple Syrup making begins Nashville's municipal maple syrup making got off to a fine start this week end. Last year, there Corporation members make Syrup Festival plans Members of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Fes­ tival corporation met Thursday evening m the Op­ era House to discuss plans for the 1967 festival to be held Saturday, April 29, and set prices for syr­ up which will be in effect festival day. The president of the corporation is Richard Todd who is serving his third year. The secretary is Mrs. Kate Bosworth, and treasurer is Mrs. Raymond Shaffer who was appointed recently upon the res­ ignation of Ray Hawkins who had served many years in this capacity. Syrup will sell ahis year for $7. 00 a gallon; S3. 75 a half-gallon; $2.25 a quart; $1.40 a pint; $1. 25 for three-fourths pint and $. 90 a half-pint. These prices include sales tax. It was decided to leave the membership fee the same as last year, $10. 00 to producers and $5. 00 to organizations, merchants and individuals. Within the next few days a Maple Syrup queen will be selected from among the Vermontville girls who are juniors in the Maple Valley school. Taking charge of the queen festivities will be Mrs. Rachel Weiler. Plans for the big parade festival day will be drawn up by Russell Kerbyson, Kenyon Peabody and Cedric WardwelL The concessions committee is headed by William Stanton; stage committee, John Viele, Albert Bell, Paul Bell and Cleo Prescott; clean-up committee chairman. Bob Shaw; program chairman, the Rev. Leonard Maunder who will act as master of cere­ monies on festival day; dance committee,. Leo Malcuit and Vernon Trowbridge; children's parade, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Fisher; floats, Mrs. Hildred Peabody and Dale Briggs; wood chopping contest and pancake derby. Burr Hartenburg and William Little; membership committee. Mrs. Mildred Mar­ tin and Mts. Olive Corey; exhibits, Mrs. Mary Mal­ cuit, and publicity, Mrs. Gladys Richardson, John Boughton and John Gaedert. ' Within the village of Vermontville there are ap­ proximately 800 trees tapped for the corporation and the first syrup was made over the week end. Wilbur Baker is handling the boiling this year. Sap from another 1, 000 trees will be processed by the syrup corporation. . The Happy Land Rides will again be set up/and featured as the main stage attraction for the big day will be the Todds who have appeared on the Ed. Sullivan snow. Their program includes Ara­ bian tumbling acts, Russian dancing, impressions, singing and patter. They will be seen both morning and afternoon. A long list of amateur and sem i professional acts will also be presented during the day-long program. The maple syrup season has started for many pro­ ducers while others haven't started tapping trees yet. While the producers may vary on their opin­ ion of when to start upping trees, they do agree on one thing. Help this year is very hard to come by, and this will hamper some farmers consider­ ably on the number of trees they tap. In some years, according to the producers, they have started making syrup as early as February 24, or even before. They also recall that one year they tutted as late as April 3, and still had a good year. THE NASHVILLE NEWS was not enough interest shown to start the project, but this year was a far different'cry. There are, happily, many volunteers who are ready and will­ ing roll up their sleeves and go to work. ■ Five new jet gas burners have been installed and the first boiling started Monday evening. All of the work from tapping the trees, gather­ ing the sap and processing the syrup is on a volun­ teer basis. Then, at the end of the season, and expenses are paid, along with a thousand dollars which is to be banked toward next year, the mon­ ey will be divided. The organizations benefiting ‘ from the project will be the youth from the Meth­ odist, Evangelical United Brethren and Baptist churches, the Band Boosters, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, the Brownies, the Future Homemakers As­ sociation, the Future Farmers Association and the Nashville Volunteer firemen. Each person who works will designate the organi­ zation he wants his hours credited toward, and a record will be made The organizations will re­ ceive checks according to the hours credited them. In addition to the nearly 1, 300 trees tapped with­ in the village, five farmers will bring in sap for processing on a percentage basis. The Nashville Maple syrup association is headed by Harold Christiansen as president. The vice pres­ ident is Mrs. Valeria Tonkin; treasurer, FrankScramlin, and directors are Fred Ackett and James Rizor, village president. . As soon as possible a new chimney is to be con­ structed at the municipal sugar shanty located in Putnam park, two tanks willbe painted, and next year it is planned to install an automatic take-off. Visitors are welcome at the "shanty" any time it is in operation, where each visitor will be given a drink of hot syrup, and a tour of the building. The Future Homemakers of America will be making sugar and candy at the shanty each week­ end during the season. The Boy Scouts will be picking up the sap while the firemen supervise and do the driving. Vermontville syrup producers tapping Among the maple syrup producers in the Ver­ montville area who attended the meeting of t h e Maple Syrup Festival corporation Thursday night several of them reported they had already tapped their trees and planned to boil over the week end. Karl Gearhart, one of the biggest in the syrup industry, started tapping 3, 400 trees trees two weeks ago. They gathered sap for the first time Friday and planned to boil Saturday. Another pro­ ducer who expected to gather Friday was Ames Haight who has over 900 trees tapped. Wesley Curtis upped 1,180 trees but reported Thursday evening that the sap had not started to run yet Leo Malcuit who ups about 1, 400 trees had not collected, nor had Willard Hubka who ups about 700 trees. Mrs. Olive Corey who tapped . 1,850 trees and Archie Martin wbo already has 1,250 trees upped and will probably add to this number, had not collected as of Thursday evening. Two other big producers, Gerald Lundstrum who ups 1,200 trees each year, and Carl Thrun who has an extensive sugar bush, had not started up­ ping. MAPLE VALLEY NEWS.

I had an idea that back in those days, the folks were fairly conservative but 1 think I was wrong. Many of the great men of the day had long hair. Some of them had haircuts that today would be seen only on girls or on some of the younger way-out boys. Others had crew cuts. In looking at these pictures 1 am impressed by the individuality shown by those old jokers. In a bunch of picture* of great men today I'll bet you wouldn't find more than three inches difference in the length of the hair.

On March 10, 1967 I was traveling through your community. My truck broke down and was block­ ing the roadway. 1 wish to take this opportunity to thank the mem­ bers of your Fite Department for the assistance they gave while my trailer was being repaired. The use of the facilities for lights and directing traffic greatly reduced the chances for some one getting injured.

I am sure that many of the great men of that day would have been tun right out of town just on the basis of their looks. They would no doubt never have made it through high school either. The Nashville Lions Club has started a speaker's bureau in a way. A while back we suited having lo­ cal members talk to the group rather than bringing in speakers from the outside. The idea seems to have taken hold and the program chairmen have been providing their own entertainment. The men have been sharing information they have with the other members of the group. Nelson Brumm talked about bee* and the science of bee-keeping. George Vogt gave a very interest­ ing talk on funeral* and the various phases of b is business. I talked about photography. ■ People all teem to assume that everyone knows all they wish to know about others line* of endeav­ or. This is not the case. Everyone in the group is interested in bow something is done, or why. The Lions have found that they have a wnole group of interesting speakers. It is good to see the Diner open again. Betty Garvey is going to manage the place in the morn­ ing and Harold Christiansen will take over in the afternoon*. Betty say* they are getting into the swing of things but the place will never be the same without Marie.

In the first place, our second class mailing per­ mit is issued to us by the government with the a­ greement that we mail oruy to people who have paid-in-advance subscriptions. In order to qualify for this permit we mu*t keep our lists up to date. In the second place, we don't want to be tend­ ing the paper to someone who really doesn't want it. To send it to someone who does not want it is an intrusion. We don't want to force ourselves up­ on anyone. \ , Third, the money come* in handy. The price of the subscriptions just about coven the cost of the paper and Ink. Ray Hawkins will be glad to accept renewals or new subscriptions and process them tor you.

March 19-25, is one of importance to every one of us. It is National Wildlife Week. "This Is Your Land, " is the theme of this year's observance, during which aU of us are reminded of the local, state and federal public lands which are ours to own and enjoy. We here in Michigan are particularly well en­ dowed with public lands. Our many thousands of acres of state and federal forest lands are scattered throughout Michigan and are a solid base for the hunting, fishing, camping and other outdoor recre­ ation so important to us. ‘' In addition to these lands, we have equal owner­ ship with every other man, woman and child in every other state, to the millions of acres of nation­ al parks and forests throughout the United States. Though we may never visit Grand Canyon, Yosem­ ite and all of the other national parks and monu­ ments, it gives us a feeling of well-being to know these places will always be there for our enjoyment or of those who will follow us. We have, indeed, a debt which we can never fully repay, to those far-sighted individuals who saw to it that at least a bit of unspoiled America has ’ been Mved for future generations. It is now our re­ sponsibility to see that our children and their child­ ren will always have the Mme opportunities to en­ joy these public lands that we have. This may not be easy. We have almost reached the end of the road in the matter of putting very much more privately-owned land into public owner­ ship. Prices are becoming prohibitive. At the Mme time, there are continuing pressures to get rid of some of these public lands in order to get them back onto the tax rolls. Those who seek mis short-sighted solution would very much like to have us forget that most of our public lands in Michigan, for example, were once stripped of all usefulness and abandoned. This is why they came into public ownership. Now the scan have been healed by time and most of these once-ugly lands are spots of beauty again. With careful management they can remain so for years to come. The National Wildlife Federation and its state affiliate, the Michigan United Conservation Clubs, are calling upon all Michigan citizens to pause duriiK National Wildlife Week and give some thought to the stake you have in our outdoor future through your ownership in these public lands. This is your land—and don't ever forget it! Wildlife authorities have argued for yean that Michigan, the Wolverine State, has never been the home of the wolverine. They contend that the on­ ly wolverines ever found in Michigan were in the form of fun brought in by Canadian trappen. The authorities are wrong on that one. It was October 8, 1871, about a week before the famed Peshtigo fire in Wisconsin which burned 1, 500 people, pie, that a str; strange animal came splashing across the " Menominee -------- .----------River into Michigan. A 10-year-old lad, George Primo,. was leaning „ on a stick as be stood on a knoll watching the pa”rade of wildlife fleeing ahead of one of many un­ controlled fires in Wisconsin. Even at this early age he was familiar with most forms of wildlife but now he saw one he couldn’t identify. The peculiar animal came ashore, fairly well Now. in This list contains the names of the Maple Val­ ley Junior and Senior High honor roll for the second semester.' t, then ambled up behind a French tr k where the family ' „ imedy. the dog „ and the _ — were battling and apper's wife saw the dog was getting far the it She grabbed a broom and went to the dog's aid. At the Mme time, George came running with his stick to enter the fracas and between them they finally kiUed the creature. Neither, however, was able to identify what it was they had killed. A few days later George went back and the trap­ per, who had returned by then, told him the ani­ mal was a "carajou. * This still meant nothing to him till years later when George entered a M quette barbershop and mw an Identical animal mounted on a shelf. The barber told him it was a wolverine. George Primo, a French trapper and hunter, re­ lated his story to Ford Kellum in 1945 when the two men were neighbors in the little northern Michigan town of Amasa in Iron County. A keen student of nature, Kellum at that time wrote up an elaborate account of Primo's story for his own files. We first read this factual account when KeUum was district game manager at Traverse City. He was later transferred to Gaylord by the Conserva­ tion Department when the Traverse City and Bald­ win district offices were wiped out by ill-advised reorganization efforts. Kellum's fUes also contain one other account of a wolverine once living in Michigan. A M11 waukee newspaper, in its March 20, 1860 edition, reported the trapping of a strange animal caught by a German trapper "at Marquette, near Lake Super­ ior." After reading this account. Dr. William Burt, mammologist at the University of Michigan, de­ clared the animal, trapped February 15, 1860, could have been nothing but a wolverine. Thus, it would appear that despite what other wildlife authorities might My, the wolverine did indeed once live in Michigan, the Wolverine State I SENIORS: Charlotte Foote, AU A’s; Herbert Ames, Julie Cranson, Diana Eldred, Linda Foster, Nancy Gardner.

Now, in order to help you get the I proper zip code for the right place the members of the Maple Valley Band Boosters are selling zip code directories. The directories sell for a dollar, and the profits realized from the sale of these directories will help to buy new uniforms and instruments for the band. Bill Fox tells me that directories can be purchased from any member of the Band Boosters, or from any band member. . ' A buck spent with the Band Boosters might just keep you out of trouble with the government, at least the Post Office Department of the government Jean Graham called to say that her son, Richard Gearhart, sent her a letter from Southern California, LETTERS^" EDITOR^ To Whom It May Concern: This is a letter of protest to the manner in which the law is enforced and/or interpreted in Nashville and Barry County. It seems that people can come in to our town, ride motorcycles up and down the sidewalks of Main street where a child on a bicycle is (correctly) not allowed, tap pedestrians on the head as they pass, noisily disturb the peace, patronize our taverns, and park these bikes in front of the entrance to a stole so that the doors cannot be opened. This is within the law? It also seems that people can come into our town, allegedly drinking, use our Central Park as a toilet, break a glass to enter a locked house where the owners are not at home, ap­ parently snoop through drawers and cupboards, dump articles from that house in the waste basket, set the basket on fire, bun it in the snowbank to "send a flare” to let authorities know where they are, after calling police to let them know they need help. If they say they broke in to call for help because they are in an "emergency situation", then they are m<t breaking the law. It doesn't matter that they h#ve just come from the Main street where places are open. It doesn't matter that the house across the street is lighted and occupied. In any case, people broking for excitement apparently can come here, do almost anything, have the right excuses to satis­ fy the law, and they can get away with whatever they do. However, on the same street, an ordinary local citizen can take a ride on a friend's motorcycle up the highway, and be arrested for not wearing a hel­ met Ignorance of the law is no excuse, but strict, extreme, enforcement of the law, should not be a sometime thing that gets done just when there's a aupienceror when higher authority is looking, or when the mood hits the officer in charge. It seems that breaking into a locked house by drunks with police records (reportedly), and cutting up on Main street by hoods on probation is amusing and requires no action, while an honest mistake calls for an arrest. Sonya Kjergaard _ ’ saying that he would like to have seen some of the snow we had this winter. Richard is in the Navy and is stationed in San Die§o, and the poor fellow has seen no snow there. He id get a copy of the News though, with all the snow pictures in it He said he sure enjoyed seeing the pictures and he missed the snow. I wish 1 could have sent him just a bit of what we had here. The Vermontville Lions Club had a Paul Dennison as the speaker Monday night, and as pan of the pirogram he hypnotized Burr Hartenburg. He did such slick job of it that some there thought it a put-up iob. This man claimed to have programmed Burr to do a better job of investment sales. Spike Briggs suggested that in all fairness, he should then nave programmed all of us in the room to better resist Burr's sales approach. This Mr. Dennison teaches physicians and dentists the technique of hypnosis. He referred to hypnosis as scientific prayer. He explained that hypnosis could help people who want to lose weight, by suggesting they are not hungry. He said a person could even lose weight on­ ly where he or she wanted to. That's going some. The sugaring activities in both villages seem to be going strong. If we don't have a few cold nights though, we are in for a short season. Locals .

A woman's body. Architecturally, quite in­ teresting. To a man. But not to the woman who owns one. Most women tend to ignore their own bodies. Do you? Do you check your body, particularly your breasts, every month, for any lump or thicken­ ing? You should. A lump or thickening in the breast or elsewhere could be a warning signal of cancer. And cancer is easier to cure when it's detected early. Sophia Loren knows the seven warning signals of cancer. So should you: 1. Unusual bleeding or discharge. 2. A lump or thickening in the breast or elsewhere. 3. A sore that does not heal. 4. Change in bowel or bladder hab­ its. 5. Hoarseness or cough. 6. Indigestion or difficulty in swallowing. 7. Change in a wart or mole. If a signal lasts longer than two weeks, see your doctor without delay.

OF NECESSITY, the new inspection program will be limited by manpower and other considera­ tions. This year an effort is being made to increase the State Police force for more testing or to provide the mandatory type of inspection used in other states. The latter would establish either state-operated or licensed establishments where motorists would be required to have their autos fully inspected and approved regularly, probably annually.

Most of it involved issues prominent on the Mich­ igan political scene, but some national questions as welt Republicans defended the charges in the booklet on the basis that quotations cited were taken out of context to serve the anti-Romney cause. If Romney plays in the championship game in 1968, he is certain to face similar attacks in print while the National Democratic Party capitalizes on the intensive spadework done by this state's labor leaders. POISON PREVENTION MUCH ANGUISH and grief could be avoided if parents lived the full year with Poison Prevention Week in mind. The annually designated week was marked this year in Michigan by the distribution of poison an­ tidote kits at local pharmacies. Along with the kits, many pharmacists offered charts listing what to do in the event a child swallowed a harmful substance. As in 1966, pharmacists were anxious to discuss poison prevention with regard to various common household items, disastrous if improperly used. SPECIAL WEEKS sometimes are just that, but Poison Prevention Week is designed to bring atten­ tion to things otherwise forgotten. A shampoo tube which says "Keep Out of the Reach of Children" means just that! Advice to keep cleaning preparations and drugs in their original containers holds true 52 weeks of the year. The 500 accidental poisoning deaths which occurred in 1966 did not happen in any single week.

Fa>»ce March 11, 1967 Dear Folks, I hope you are all feeling welL I'm still OK The weather here is kinda bad with lots of rain for the last couple of days. It was dry yesterday and looks like it will be today also. The 6th of March we were called into a vil­ lage to help some other men who were fighting there. It was really quite a fight The planes flew in and dumped their bombs. Helicopters were shooting all over the village. We moved in and across a rice pattie. We got to the other side and started moving on line down through ■ some palm trees. It wasn't too long before we received fire. We got down behind some bushes and returned the fire. Our platoon sargent had a bullet whiz by his head. The next time it didn't miss - it caught him right in the head. It seemed every time someone moved, a bullet went over the bushes. I kept real low and tried to help our sargent but it was no use. They pulled back and let the village have it with all we had in artillery and helicopter gun sb ips. The next day we went through and policed the area up. We found two 30 caL machine gunes, and many other weapons and ammo. Our company did a real good job. The enemy dead was 74, ours only 4 which we consider too many. The village was burned and destroyed and the remaining villagen were taken out of the village. While walking through the village we saw at least 3 little children who were killed from the action the day before. A woman and child were severely burned. Dead cows and wounded lay everywhere. There is a man who is writing a story about it and will sell it to anyone who will buy it. I hope it gets in "Time" or some maga­ zine like that. It was a bad day though. I'm still OK and know God brought me through again. Sorry I haven't written lately. I really haven't had much of a chance. That helicopter gunner job is really nice. I think Vernon will like it They really helped us out the other day. It is dangerous sometimes, but they usually are quite safe. It is at least bet­ ter than walking and having a pack on your back. WelL today I'm 22 yean old and feel like I a should be 25 yean old after being away so long. I have about 5 1/2 months to go over here now. I've been put in for Specialist 4 this month. I hope I get it. It means more pay and is as far as the pay goes, the same as corporaL We got us some vests now. They won't stop a bullet, but will stop scrapnel and things like that I don't know whether I like them or not. I believe that they saved one man's life on the 6th of Mar. Happy Birthday, Mom! Sorry I didn’t send a card or anything, but I couldn’t find one. Ha! I don't think a coconut would do. Ha! ' With this vest we must be carrying around 75 to 100 pounds. Well, I just got the word from the Doctor. I've made Specialist 4. Now you can address my letters SP/4 Darwin E. Reid. Ha! More money too - about $50. I guess.

A TRULY EXCITING qOLD Guard those nylons, gals! Trout season opens this Saturday and that's <10 April foolin’. We're talking, of course, about the earlyseason for rainbow and brown trout in the lower reaches of streams flowing into the Great Lakes. Brooktrout will continue safe till the regular trout season opens April 29, and all sute waters are then open. About those nylons, now. Inch-square pieces, cut from a sheer nylon stocking, are ideal material for using to tie up spawn bags for rainbow bait. Most husbands are willing to settle for an old pair of ny­ lons for this purpose but in the fever pitch of get­ ting ready to go fishing, they have been known to make misukes. Don't say we didn't warn you, gals. Getting hold of some trout spawn or eggs poses quite a problem, unless a fisherman is far-sighted. It is sort of like that old question of which came first, the chicken or the egg. The easiest way to get some rainbow trout spawn is to first catch a trout, but since this is easiest done with spawn for bait—well, you get the idea. . « The fisherman who thinks ahead has probably saved some spawn, frozen since last year. This can be either rainbow eggs from last spring or brown trout eggs from last tail's late season. Anyhow, say you have the trout eggs and your wife nas given you one of her old nylon stockings and you nave tied up a bunch of little fingernail­ sized bags of the stuff. What then? Well, De prepared to lose a lot of terminal out­ fits because if you are going to catch big trout dur­ ing the early season you will have to get right down on bottom. And, as you well know, that's where the snags are. If you don't lose 15 or 20 out­ fits the first weekend, chances are you are not get­ ting down into the best trout territory. . To save your temper, tie up a bunch of spare outfits before you go fishing. If you are using 8 or 10-pound test monofilament line on your reel, tie two feet of lighter leader to the end of it. This should contain your hook and enough split shots to make sure the bait will roll along bottom naturally when you let out slack. If you get snagged up all ■» . you will lose will be the lighter leader. This way you can just tie on another ready-made one and be “ right back in business. While natural spawrris the hottest spring-time yr bait, it isn't the only thing that will catch big trout Commercially-bottled salmon eggs, night crawlers, minnows, wigglers--all take big trout every spring. So do artificial baits like Flatfish, Mepps spinners and streamer flies. Flies, in fact, are greatly under-rated but deadly in the hands of an expert during the early trout season. A friend of ours, Ken Bailey, proved this rather conclusively last year by taking a 13-pound rainbow on a streamer fly. This early trout season is definitely not for the faint-hearted or the thin-blooded. It’s mighty chilly fishing in early ApriL Funny thing, though-once you get one of those silver-sided thunderbolts * on the end of your line you couldn't care less about cold weather.

Sanden Candy M f I #•» Mrs. Beverly Kelley weighs a gallon Vermontville Maple Syrup as"the .inal check of quality. Photo and Story by Gladys Richardson For the most part things don't "just happen" in Vermontville. They are carefully planned. The community itself is the result of careful planning by a group of adventurers from Vermont who presseu "westward" to establish a colony where its residents would enjoy much the same cultural advantages that existed in New England at the time. So it was with the maple syrup industry, even though the early pioneers found the Indians already making syrup when they arrived in this part ot the country. The Vermontville Syrup Festival Corporation was organized June 13, 1941, by interested citizens who were looking for a market for maple syrup and. other maple products, and who wished to promote the community. Michigan has long held an important place in the production of maple syrup and sugar and Vermontville area farmers are high on the list of individual producers. The annual syrup festival, with the crowning of a Vermontville girl as the maple syrup queen, and a varied program carried on throughout the day, brings thousands of persons to this little community each year. When the village trees were d, back in 1941, the syrup was made in a Iding w in the park on Main street. But because the lawn was dam­ aged each spring because of driving heavy vehicles onto it when unloading the sap, the building was moved a few hundred feet back of what is now Briggs Hardware. Then the building proved far too small, and three years ago a volunteer project pro­ vided a fine new $6,000 building which was con­ structed just to the east of the Methodist church. This was equipped with modem facilities, and it is here the municipal syrup making is being carried on this year. Wilbur Baker is in charge of making the syrup, and so far well over 200 gallons have been made. Any syrup producer knows that good sap runs oc- * cur when the night temperatures are below freezing and the following days are warm. It takes from 30 to 50 gallons of sap to produce a gallon of syrup, de­ pending on the sugar content. The sugar content varies from tree to tree within a sugar bush and var­ ies considerably from one bush to another. The var­ iation and differences are due to a number of things including elevation, topography of the ground, ex­ posure, and age of the trees. On an average a tree produces anough sap for one gallon of syrup in a season. On festival day, which falls on Saturday, April 29 this year, some 12 to 20 producers will have their wares on hand, and the thousands of visitors may have his fill of pancakes and Vermontville-made syrup.

Wesley started helping his father, Aarron Curtis, in the family sugar bush on a farm in the Bellevue area when he was only a lad in his early teens. .For the past 22 years he has lived on a farm where he has averaged from 350 to 500 gallons of syrup annually. He recalls when syrup sold for $1. 00 a gallon and sugar, made in three to five pound "blocks" sold for about 10 cents a pound. He also remem­ bers when the final "boiling down" was handled in the family kitchen, but now, with modern equip­ ment at his "sugar shanty" the syrup is all canned in the woods. For many years Mr. Curtis has been a member of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Corporation and has served as a trustee for several years. He was named chairman of the committee in charge of building the new municipal sugar shanty three years ago, and volunteered many hours of work in the construction of the $6,000 building built in Vermontville. Mrs. Curtis has worked for many years right a­ long with him in making maple syrup. In addition she makes about 75 pounds of sugar each year. The Curtises take their syrup to the Michigan Sute Fair each year, along with some 40 pounds of sugar. They have Uken first prize in the sute on their syrup on two occasions, last year and three years ago. They have many customers who purchase syrup each year, including one family which has bought for 25 years. They have sent syrup and sugar all over the Uni­ ted Sutes, from New Jersey to California, from Up­ per Michigan to Florida. With increased postage rates the past few years they do not send out as much as they did many years ago. When the syrup season starts it means many long hours, and on occasions it has meant running the evaporator "around the clock* to keep ahead of the sap collection. When the rush of the season was over Mr. and Mn. Curtis used to host dozens of "sugaring off parties for their many friends. And there is just nothing quite like stirring hot syrup into maple sugar, or pouring it oyer snow or ice to form wax. Of the 1967 season Mr. Curtis says that for the first time he can recall, he had to uke the tractor back into the woods to break a path because of the deep snow. That way he was able 40 get to the trees to up them. This year Mr. Curtis has the assistance of Mrs. Gertrude McCrimmon, Ed. Goris and Tom Garrett in making maple syrup. At 72 Mr. Curtis isn't quite as active as he used to be, but be is right on the job to supervise all the work, and he puts in long hours at his sugar shanty. Many hundreds of persons from all over Michigan have visited his sugar bush, including a group of Boy Scouts from Grand Rapids who each year for the past eight have stayed over night in the woods where they set up tents and cooked their own meals over an open fire. And, as one would expect, Mr. Curtis sees that they each have a sample of warm syrup. MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE. THURSDAY.

With the long winter we have had, I can't My I am too upset about the fact that we didn't have a long per­ iod of cold nights to make the sap flow. So far as I am concerned, I would rather have the spring weather than the maple syrup. Mb. Tonkin assure* me though, that the Syrup Association made enough syrup to cover the e x pensea of the operation for a year and to pay for the new burners which were installed this year. LIFE'S LIKE THAT DEPARTMENT Grace Cooley did her spring house cleaning for naught, so it seem*. Grace was getting ready to open the drive-in for the season. She cleaned like mad and had quite a start on it. Then early Satur­ day morning a fire started in the basement of the restaurant and completely destroyed the inside of the place The fire burned the floor out and let everything in the place down into the basement, which by that time was full of water. Now who was it who said, never put off till to­ morrow what you can do today? If Grace had only put off on her spring house cleaning at the drive-in The voters of Barty County have done it again. Apparently they think the people of the county are so good that they don't need a jail, so they have' voted it down again. I hope the people are right. It would be nice if all of our police problems werejo minor that we TWII BAACt CONTRIBUTED BT THB RVBC1BHEN by johu boughton could just forget about a jail entirely. In the meantime, should we have anyone we wish to throw into the pokey we have to go all the way to Charlotte. I'm sure the folks over there would be happy if we got our own jail and stopped cluttering theirs up with our people. Well we will have another go at it soon. We just have to keep working at it until we get a jail of our own. Nothing pretentious, just a little cot­ tage we can call our own. ■ The old saying is that the frogs have to freeze up three times before spring really arrives.

SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION LACK CONTROVERSY ’ Abortion and sterilization should be very contorvenial subjects. But Michigan lawmakers find, so far, this lias not been the case. When State Sen. John E. McCauley, D-Wyandotte, introduced a bill to legalize abortion and sterilization under specified circumstances there was brief argument over whether the bill could be considered this year. Sen. Robert Richardson, chairman of the Judici­ ary Committee to which the bill was assigned, said his group already bad a full calendar. The commit­ tee probably would not have time to properly study this measure because it would draw so much con­ troversy, he stated. Richardson suggested it be sent to the Health Com­ mittee, which has fewer bills. His idea was turned down. ’ ' allowances make the taxes nearly impossible to compare in any general way, the department study emphasizes. Mt and Ma. Ernett Stebelton and Mia Kay Eimon a friend of Battle Creek and Mr. and Mn. Dick Ei­ mon and ton Jimmy of Dowagiac were Sunday a f ternoon vuitorr of Mr. and Ma. M. J. Petry. Ml and Mn. Don Adamt and baby visited their grandma, Mn. Minnie Dull Sunday afternoon. Mr. and Mn. Wayne Granger and torn, Mn. Vera Shepard spent Easter weekend with Mr. and Mn W Lorenz and son of Omaha. Neb. There is consolation in the knowledge that 26 states and the District of Columbia have both sales tax and income tax. The real issue is that Michigan simply needs more money than present programs generate if the state is to function at the level its people indicate they expect Who wants to reduce substantially the funds for schools, both at local and college level? Who wants to relieve the state of its welfare responsibilities and dump these back on individual counties? Who wants to lose ground in treatment of mental health? The answer seems to be "very few. " McCauley's proposal, patterned after similar laws in other states, would permit abortions upon recommendation by a county prosecutor and three physicians if the pregnancy resulted from rape or Sterilization of either men or women would be allowed because of physical or mental health con­ siderations or the family's economic condition. McCauley describes his bill as a "humanitarian" proposal . - ' Many doctors of high reputation are now perform­ ing these operations despite the risk to their profes­ sional standing, he said. Only a sprinkling of mail was received after the bill was made public. In a letter to the Senate com­ mittee the Michigan Council of Churches put it­ self firmly on record in support of the legislation. Concern has now shifted over this bill which, if passed, could be one of the most significant changet in Michigan law enacted this year. Richardson was first concerned that his committee could not give proper attention to the proposal be­ cause of its controversial nature. The concern in many quarters now is that Rich­ ardson 's committee will bypass the measure this session because there has not been adequate public sentiment TAXES CERTAIN Michigan's income tax, if one is signed into law, will probably be accepted reluctantly by the state's citizens. It might be some consolation to know that they have company among citizens of other states. According to a study oflthe State Revenue De­ partment, 35 states now have an income tax. All except that in Indiana are on a graduated scale with the percentage of tax increasing as income in­ creases. Of the graduated programs in other states, some start as low as 1. 5 per cent and some go as high as 12 percent. Variations in exemption and deduction Yet nearly 75% of state budget is made up of these three categories. Lawmakers are faced with the veiy real problem of raising money to finance the expenditures which they have authorized. And much of the funds authorized have been approved following pressure from citizens and citizen groups. One can judge the conscientious legislator as com­ pared with the more politically motivated by watch­ ing the voting record. A man who votes for all the expenditures and none of the taxes leaves something to be desired when he is measured for responsibility. This is the easy way, for it permits him to tell one group of constituents that he voted for what they want and another group that he voted for no taxes. Legislators who face the full problem of both ex­ penditure and income honestly are of infinitely more value to the people they represent This is the more difficult way, but it is the way which has a signifi­ cance for the state. There can be little doubt that Michigan citizens will be paying more in taxes in 1967 than they did in 1966. The question is how it will be collected, and when the collection will be accelerated. The bigger question is whether some son of fiscal tax reform will come to Michigan this year. The legislature has been wrestling with the question for 10 years. Previously they have come up with a patch­ work of tax solutions. Only a little time will tell what happens this year.

P. Brown, M. D., dSector of the Barry County Health Department. Ac cording to Dr. Brown this is one of the few counties in Michigan to provide a community tuberculin skin testing program for adults. BNOAOBD Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Higdon of Charlotte have announced the engagement of their daughter, E­ laine Charlene, to Rodney D. Russell, son of Mr. and Mrs. Everett L. Russell of Route 6, Charlotte. The bride-elect is a senior at Charlotte High School and her fiance is a 1966 graduate of the same school. She is employed in the offices of O­ wens-Illinois Corp, and he is employed by Eyde Construction Co. of East Lansing. No date has been set for the wedding. Hot Lunch Menu APRIL 10 -- 14 MONDAY--Chill/cracker, celery stix, jelly sand., . peaches, cookie, milk. TUESDAY--hot dog/bun, tomato soup or baked beans, pudding, milk. WEDNESDAY--Creamed chicken on biscuit, butter­ ed corn, bread/butter, plums, cake, milk. THURSDAY--Scalloped potatoes/ham, buttered beans, peanut butter sand., pears, cookie, milk. FRIDAY--Macaroni/cheese, buttered peas, hot roll/ butter, fruit jello, brownies, milk. He said tne program will be held in conjunction with the testing of school children in grades onefive and nine in schools throughout the county. He noted that the testing of school children requires parental consent. Parents are urged to sign the re­ quest cards and return them promptly to the schools. As a TB examination is required next year to teach or work in Michigan schools, Dr. Brown urges a 11 school .employees to have the skin test. The adult testing program will be held on the same days as the school testing programs. Barbers and beauticians are also urgeoto take advantage of the program to have their required checkup. Dr. Brown said it is extremely important for all persons who take the test to return at their sched­ uled time to have the results read. At that time billfold report cards will be issued to the persons. The tuberculin skin test shows whether a person has the TB germ in his body. Dr. Brown said about one in four adults is apt to react to the test. Re­ action indicates exposure to tuberculosis but does not mean a person has active tuberculosis. This is why it is important for a person to return for the reading. If a person does react, then further tests are needed to determine if the disease is active. He said, however, that most people are able to re­ sist the TB germs. The tuberculin skin testing program is sponsored by the Barry County Health Department, Barry County Physicians, Barry County Schools, the Mich­ igan Department of Public Health and the Michi­ gan Tuberculosis and Respiratory Disease Associa­ tion. The adult skin testing program schedule in Nash­ ville will be held at the Masonic Temple on Fri­ day, April 28 at 1 to 5 and 6 to 7. The reading will take place on Monday, May 1 from 1 to 5 and 6 to 7. Co-chairmen for Nashville are Mrs. Thomas My­ ers and Mrs. Harry Laurent.

CLASSIFIEDS PAY Fire damages Cooley restaurant fought the blaze for about three houn before bring­ ing it under control The restaurant is owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. Justin Cooley who opened the Drive-In 15 yeas ago. The Cooleys expected to reopen the restaur­ apt, which is normally closed during the winter months, about May 1, and they had been readying the building the day before the fire occurred. Be­ cause the fire was in the basement, the floor of the restaurant was badly charred, and it was necessary for the firemen to chop a hold in the floor to get water to the basement. The damage to the interior will run into a size­ able sum, although no figures on the loss have been determined. ' Mr. Cooley is a regular member of the fire de­ partment.

But what good will it do a fisherman to drive safely to his favorite trout stream only to be exposed to the dangers of modern-day fishing equipment? What we REALLY need are federal safety standards to protect fishermen! Just take a pair of innocent-looking waders as an example. No matter hew they are constructed or what brand-name they might carry, all have builtin dangers. Safety experts worrying about skid-proof tire treads might also show concern with the soles of wa­ ders which can, without a moment's warning, send a fisherman into an uncontrollable skid. The most obvious solution to this is to legalize the use of met­ al studs in the wader treads. Unfortunately, this suggestion is said to be oppos­ ed by persons within the conservation Department who feel that the constant use of metal studs in wa­ der treads will wear out the bottom of trout streams. Fear has also been expressed by some that fisher­ men, hurrying at top speed to get into a trout stream, may kick loose a certain number of metal studs. Other anglers following close behind may be struck and injured by these, they argue. As a solution to the problem of stream-bottom damage, it has been suggested that metal studs in wader wader“treads be allowecTonly allowedonly during the period from November 1 to May 1 each year. This, they say would save the stream bottoms from being worn out since few fishermen are wading the streams then. Opponents, however, argue that anglers who want to fish in the warm weather months, from May 1 tin Nov. 1, would have to use waders without the protective metal studs. This would make it neces­ sary to own two sets of waders, one with metal studs and one without, which hardly seems fair. A new book, called "Unsafe At Any Stream," is said to caU for federal safety standards for not on­ ly waders and hip boots but other items of fishing tackle. Chapters of the book are said to deal with land­ ing nets which stretch out on elastic cords and thump innocent fishermen in the skull with deadly accuracy; reel handles which can skin an angler's knuckles when a big fish is hooked; and flies and Belson spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. Archie M a r tin of Vermontville.

Mr. and Mrs. Jack Kenyon and three sons qf An­ gola, Ind. spent Easter with Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Kenyon. other lures which persist in getting ungled in tree tops an unsafe height above the water. It is rumored that this author may even demand that sharp points be removed from all fish books to prevent injury to careless fishermen, though this seems to be going a little top far. We wouldn't be a bit surprised, however, to see both sure and federal lawmakers jumping into the controversy at any moment. Ceruinly no angler should be expected to face such dangers while he is fishing. Wnat we need most is another new law! Twenty-two Girl Scouts enjoy outing Twentv-two Girl Scouts of Vermontville troop 313 with leaaers, Mrs. Bev. Kelly, Mrs. Janice Baker, Mrs. Charlotte Cowell, nurse Mrs. Wanda Lyon and Camp mother, Mrs. Joyce Rathbum, left Thursday for an overnight campout at Holiday Haven at Wa­ cousta. This was the first such overnight campout for many of these scouts. Their diary for the trip read as follows: Thursday: 1:00 p. m. At arrival at camp the nose­ bag lunches were eaten. The flag raising ceremony followed. A hike around the area introduced us to another group of campers from Manistee. The girls pitched a tent for practice. Since the weather was no nice all meals were prepared and eaten outside. For supper the cooks prepared "Hobo Stew", hot chocolate and pudding cones. After dishes a sing-a­ long was held around the big camp fire. Lights out at ft 00. Friday: 6:30 a. m. (With 27 persons in one room it proved to be a long night for some, a short night for others 1) Bed rolls gathered up and fire started for breakfast. Flag ceremony was held. Breakfast consisted of orange juice, cereal, scrambled eggs, toast and hot chocolate. After a hardy meal everyone was as­ signed jobs to tidy up the camp. The chores -in­ cluded dishes, sweeping and mopping, bathroom de­ tail, cleaning fire rings, raking the grounds and sucking a wood pile. W ith everything in tip-top shape the group then had a practice session of march­ ing which they will do, come festival day.

The law now requires all children entering school to be immunized against: Diptheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, small pox and measles, and to have a tuberculin test. In as much as several of these cannot be given at the same time, it is wise to get an early start so they can all be finished before school starts.

He pitch­ ed what has to be the greatest game of all time in the world series with St Louis, hack in the dear dead past, like 1936 or 6, can’t remember which year. St. Louie, had a fat southpaw who went the en­ tire distance against Rowe, who started the game also. The game was a pitcher's battle from the word go, but it was marked with a number of runs on bout sides. I remember. 1 went to that game with my father, ■fie game was nip and who almost flipped over it. The tuck all the way and the Tigers,, in the ninth innsre were two men out ing were one run behind. Tner; and one on base and the pitcher, good old School­ boy, came to the plate. The crowds in the stands were aghast at the thought that Rowe was going to hit Everyone won­ dered why Cochran didn't put in a pinch hitter. Rowe stood up there and struck twice at the offer­ ings of the big left-hander and then, he squared off and let the old apple have it. The ball carried in­ to the stands for a home run to win the game. They just don't play ball that way these days. The kids at the hign school are getting ready to start baseball and track.

They got more than that, A white cat came in, looked around the lobby walked under the door to the office part of the bank and crawled into a cupboard behind a box of envelopes and went to sleep. That cat knew just what die wanted. Maple Valley excells at more than just sports it seems. The high school chess team has won the tro­ phy for the league. This is quite an accomplish­ ment. It is just like the football team, or the bas­ ketball team winning the top place in the league. friend of mine went to New York to rotcit against the wet, No war'is red-hot popular with that group that is expected to fight it, but this one seems to be less popular than most It seems that a lot of peo­ ple are asking questions these days about just what we are doing. The more I see and hear, the more I wonder my­ self. An older friend and I were talking over lunch Saturday. He told me that it is costing the United States four-hundred-thousand dollars to kill just one Viet Cong. This friend was of the opinion that if the good old U. S. of A. were to go over therewith four hundred bucks for each Cong they would be happy to come over to our side. He thinks that if we could give those -people enough money to buy farms, they would no longer be interested in communism. It does seem a shame that we can afford $400,000 just to kiU one man in a country few of us ever beard about a few yean ago, but we can't afford a fraction of that to save many people here from poverty.

James Varner, Wayne SkedgeU and Otto Dahm. ’ were seated Thunday evening at the regular meet­ ing of village officials. They will be working with the re-elected president, L James Rizor, and coun­ cilmen Harold Norris, Henry Fedewa and Frank Scramlin. _ President Rizor named his new committees for 'the year. On the itreet committee, Nonit, Dahm '•nd Fedewa; police committee, Dahm, SkedgeU and Varner; water, sewer and garbage. SkedgeU, Norris and Dahm; parks and library, Fedewa, Var­ ner and Scramlin; finance and insurance, Scramlin, Norris and SkedgeU, and named to the Fire Board, Scramlin and Varner. Named as president pro-tern, Harold Norris, and appointed on the new Zoning and Appeal board, Donald Langham, Harry Johnson, George Vogt and Harold Christiansen. Within the next few days a special meeting will be caUed to .set the millage for village taxes. This wiU be the fiat year the tax collections wiU be de­ termined on the basis of the equalized valuation in­ stead of the assessed valuation. The officials passed a resolution asking permis­ sion of the State Highway department to go under Highway M 66 for a new water service hookup. The condition of village streets was discussed and as soon as monies ate available the needed repain wUl be started. ., A motion was passed to apply to the FHA grant­ loan division for expansion of the present sanitary sewers. It is doubtful that any help wiU be forthcom­ ing in the Immediate future, but if and when more money is available it is hoped NashviUe can be giv­ en some assistance. Rizor stated the council plans to investigate the advantages of changing NashviUe village to a fifth class city. The remainder of the eve wu given over to a discussion of a water supply , distribution system. Engineers „ .J. Edward PreLn an and Carl Huber from Wil­ liams A Works of Grand Rapids were present to ans­ wer questions and discuss the preliminary report. Pro- THE DAIRY KING NOW OPEN FOR YOUR FAVORITE SUNDAES - MALTEDS BANANA SPLITS OPEN 11:45 am to 8:00 pm 182 S. Main, Vermontville ■ ■■ petals and recommendations have already been set up in the preliminary survey, and taken into consid­ eration are population trends, the village's assessed valuation,' the distribution system, storage, pumps and controls, the water quality, estimates of costs and financing such a project. The future population growth was developed from existing US census reports, and it is necessary to point out the population predictions are, at best, only approximation. The establishment of a single industry can cause an abnormal increase. The asses­ sed valuation for 1965-66 is $1,507, 000. For bond­ ing purposes the assessed valuation was used to es­ tablish the legal maximum general obligation i n debtedness which might be incurred. ' Presently the village obtains water from two wells, then carried to the iron removal filter plant. The aeration and filters function well in removing the iron, but the water can be consid­ ered "hard" by standards set for ideal water qual­ ity. Williams A Works, the engineering company providing the report suggests that a municipal water Presently the village has an 80-foot standpipe with a capacity of 68, 000 gaUons. This is adequate for presept everyday needs of the community, but' is inadequate for fire flows. The National Board of Fire Underwriten recommend that for a popula­ tion of X 500 (the present figure is 1, 525) the re­ quired amount of water should be 1,250 gaUons per minute for five hours. Drawing this amount from the existing tank, when full, would empty the tank in approximately 54 minutes without the use of the' pumps. With the pumps the tank would empty in 70 minutes. While the water tank is in fairly good condition, the foundation structure is old arid needs attention. The existing network of water mains con­ sists of some six miles of two-inch to eight-inch mains. The preliminary survey indicates that the supply of ground water is adequate to serve Nashville for many yean to come. If needed, more wells can be drilleu without much difficulty. > The design of the proposed distribution system is based on a population of 2,250 and an average flow of 150 gallons per capita per day. Recommended is a 70-foot standpipe, with a 400, 000 gallon - capacity to be erected in the south­ ern section of the village, 300 feet south of Casgrove road in the vicinity of the west city limits. This location will give the necessary elevation to assure adequate pressures throughout the village. The 150,000 should be used as the basic storage quantity, located in the top 30 feet of the tank. The bottom 40 feet will give ample fire protection. The new tank would be connected to the water sys­ tem by 10-inch mains on Casgrove road.and Dur­ kee'street, with an eight-inch connection on Fran­ cis to the existing mam on Main street. The . Fuller Heights subdivision should be looped into the sys­ tem by six-inch mains. Estimates of costs are broken down thusly: Fuller Heights subdivision, $30,000; remainder of the pro­ ject, $99, 000 making a total of $129, 000. The vil­ lage has a debt of $19, 000 in water revenue bonds and these should be refinanced with the bond issue. To obtain necessary revenue to finance the proCied project, the hydrant rental and/or rates would ve to be raised. Assuming the hydrant will re­ main the same, the rates would have to be In­ creased approximately 40 percent. The rate would still be low in comparison to many other Michigan communities. While this proposal is still well into the future, it is one of several the village council is considering.

THURSDAY, APRIL 20, 1967 47p THE VERMONTVILLE ECHO �WASTING EFFORT Prevailing concept of traffic safety shortcom­ ing!, dictated from Washington, is missing the meat of the problem, says the Automobile Club of Michigan. In Washington, focus of blame is car manufac- turen for the rising rates of traffic accidents and fatalities. Laws aimed at making autos safer and requiring states to implement these with other pro­ grams are either on the books or in the making. Michigan's Auto Club conducted a unique study of about 20 percent of the fatal accidents which occurred in the state last year. Published as "How to Bring More Back Alive, the 61-page report pins down several major causes, primarily law violations. The condition of the vehicle was not the obvious or direct cause of any of the deaths. BASIC LAW VIOLATIONS, at 89 percent, stood out as the most frequent cause of fatal crashes. Other major causes were alcohol (involved in at least 44 percent of the accidents), driven with bad records, and speed excessive for either road con­ ditions or the driver's ability. A disproportionately large number of inexper­ ienced, teen driven were involved in the acci­ dents studied. The .Auto Club also noted a dis­ tinctively small percentage of ola can involved. Representatives of the Auto Club visited the scenes of most accidents, interviewed witnesses and police, and delved into- the driving records of those involved. LEGISLATORS, JUDGES and law enforcement officers have been sent 32 specific recommenda­ tions resulting from the AAA study. The crux of the study's findings is to get traffic safety into proper focus. Fred N. Rehm, Auto Club general manager, notes that his organization fully approves of attempts to make can as safe as possible. "Attentionshould be shifted to the major cause: the driver," he says. Federal attempts to get safer vehicles "wjll have no effect on cutting accidents, though they may cut deaths and severity of accidents/* he stated in a letter to the National Highway Safety Agency. 1 " Even when the perfect vehicle is built, if it ever is, there still will be accidents, " Rehm contends. His organization's In-depth study backs up the contention that safety efforts should be aimed at improving the man behind the wheel LEGISLATURE OVERLOADED Michigan's legislature is still having its prob­ lems getting organized after four months of ses­ sion. This was predicted for the House of Representa­ tives because of an even 55- 55 vote split, but that is not the problem which continues to plague lawmakers. " The high volume of bills introduced this year has posedacute printing problems; so acute that on several occasions it has been a week or more from the time a measure was introduced before a copy of the bill was available to read. DEADLINE FOR ACCOMPLISHING certain phases of the annual lawmaking process have already been missed and reset. At the beginning of the session Senate Majority Leader Emil Lockwood, R-St Louis, proposed set­ ting an additional set of deadlines: to schedule committee work. His idea was a good one although no schedule came about. LIKE A FAMILY trying to live on an unrealistic budget, the state legislature has consistently ser for itself impossible time schedules. The trouble is inherent in the way they operate. Each year most legislators introduce a whole group of bills to placate their constituents in the full knowledge that the proposals have no chance of passage. THIS SWAMPS the entire legislative machine. This year there were some 500 requests to have bills drawn for introduction which could not be fulfilled. More than 2,050 bills were properly in­ troduced; about 800 in the Senate and 1,250 in the House. It is not uncommon fot one legislator to introduce more than 100. Until someone figures out a better way, or until legislators are willing to down the number of hope­ less or pointless bills they introduce, there can be no easy solution to their wallowing. They have made their own legislative bed, and they must roll around in it THE ELVES AND THE SHOEMAKER A MUSICAL, STAGE PRODUCTION Saturday, April 22 1:00 P.M. and 3:00 P.M.

Rue as assistant to President Gorton Riethmiller was announced by Oli­ vet College this week. Rue had been on leave of absence from the col­ lege for study at Michigan State University. He was the Olivet College Director of Community Educa­ tion until his leave was granted. A Livonia man, Rue graduated from MSU in 1961 with a B. A. and received his M. A. from Eastern Michigan Univenity in 1963. A former public school educator, Rue became Community School Director for the Dort School of Flint, then went to Olivet College in 1963 to administer the Commun­ ity Education concept of Charles Stewart Mott for the college, which has extended its "learning cen­ ter" philosophy as a service to communities within a 50 mile radius of Olivet. - The Barry County Health Department urges a 11 parents with children intering school for the first time this fall; to plan soon to get their pre-school shots. The law now requires all children entering school to be immunized against; — Diptheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, small pox and measles, and to have a tuberculin test. In as much as several of these cannot be given at the same time, it is wise to get an early start so they can all be finished before school starts. These "shou" are all available at your doctor's office, or at the Barry County Health Department clinics held the first Monday of each month from 9 - 11 Am.

He walked around the house looking for someplace to hide. He would take a real worried glance out the window every once-in-a-while. He seemed to know that some­ thing was in the air. ' 1 have a friend who has petting privileges on a dog named Chief. Chief belongs to neighbors (these folks live in Okemos) and he is somewhat of a bum, spending much of his time scrounging around the neighborhood looking for hand-outs. . . Chief is not allowed in the bouse where be, is sup­ posed to live, but he does come in the bouse of my friend to grab a quick meal and to sack out for.-£ nap now and again. My friend told me that old Chief came to his door and scratched and cried, begging to be let in. Somehow he sensed that there was going to be a bit of a storm and Chief just does not like storms. They let him in and be crawled under the table (the book says you are supposed to do that) to wait the storm out. My friend says Chief is a solid citizen-type who does not scare easily but be somehow knew the storm was coming even before they suited to an­ nounce it on the air. • . .. Chief survived the storm in good shape, suffering only a bit of nervous strain during the height of the blow. He is now back to barking at strange and un­ usual things, such as the moon coming up, a tree stump or his own reflection -in a mud puddle. In be­ tween be chases trucks.

An increase in international surface and airmail rates averaging 13% will go into effect May 1,1967 to help offset-a cunent operating deficit of about $16 million annually in international postal service. The increase will not apply to mailing* for mem­ bers of the Armed Forces overseas. Domestic postage rates are applicable to mail addressed through APO s and FPO's. The changes in rates were first proposed in the Jan­ uary 14 Federal Register, giving interested par­ ties thirty days to comment. The confirmed rates ap­ peared in today's federal register and will be put in­ to effect by the Postmaster General under his admin­ istrative authority. No legislation is needed. Comment* dealing with increa*ed rate* for maga­ zines clarified mailing problems of publisher*. Ac­ cordingly, as shown in point No. 8 below, the origi­ nally proposed increase in rates to Canada were mod­ ified by delaying the effective dates. Highlights of the final action are: 1. Airmail letters to Central America and the Car­ ibbean area will be increased from 13# per half ounce to 15#. 21 Airmail to the rest of the Western Hemisphere will remain at 15# per half ounce, except for Can ada and Mexico. 3. Airmail to Europe and Mediterranean Africa will be increased from 15# per half ounce to 20#. 4. Airmail letter rates to the rest of the world will remain unchanged at 25# per half ounce. 5. Aerogrammes and air post cards will be in­ creased 2# each from 11# to 13#. 6. Items sent by air, other than letters and parcels, such as small packages, books, periodicals and other printed matter will be increased 10# per piece to all countries except Canada. 7. Most letter* going by surface transportation to all nations (excluding Canada and Mexico) will be increased from 11# to 13#. Post cards will be raised from 7# to 8#. 8.

Vermontville's 27th Annual MAPLE SYRUP FESTIVAL Saturday, April 29,1967 The community of Vermontville has readied itself! once again for the big spring event in this area--the 27th annual Vermontville Maple Syrup FestivaL It will be held on Saturday, April 29th and from all ac­ counts, should be just as big and grand as ever. Denise Viele, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Viele, will reign as me 1967 Syrup Queen. Her al­ ternate is Linda Slade, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ther­ on Slade. Members of die Queen's court are: Pam Barlond, Louise Lindberg and Pam Grant. Lieutenant Governor William G. Milliken will be present to do the honors of crowning the Queen. This ceremony will take place at 11:30, right after the presentation of the 1967 Queen’s Court. Rev. Leonard Maunder of the Congregational church will serve as the Master of Ceremonies. Greetings will be made by Otus Mills, president of the Village, John Gaedert, president of the Festival Corporation and John Rodriguez, president of the Chamber of Commerce. The Maple Valley Marching Band will lead the big parade promptly at 1:00. Kenyon Peabody is again Parade Marshall and Mrs. Hildred Peabody is Parade Chairman. Specialty acts will be presented by various groups and the popular Pancake Derby and wood Chopping contests wul also be held. Food, maple syrup and maple syrup products will be available at many different places about the com­ munity. The Sugar Shanty will De open all day for visitors. ~ Concession stands and rides for the youngsters will be available. It would be difficult to explain the success of a , venture such as this by saying one person or one com-' mittee made the difference. The success can only be said to be a result of much planning and hard work by many, many persons and organizations, all work­ ing toward the same goal. A new president, John Gaedert, was named to the Festival Corporation this year. This action was taken when Richard Todd accepted a new position and moved from the community. Mr. Todd had served four years as president. Denise Viele, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Charlei Viele, of Vermontville, was chosen Queen of the Maple Syrup Festival for 1967. Linda Slade was cho■ sen alternate. The balloting took place Monday evening follow­ ing a Vermontville Lions Club dinner meeting at which the candidates and dje judges were guests of the Lions Club. The queen and her alternate are both juniors at the Maple Valley High School and they will reign over the Festival on April 29th. Denise, who plans to become an art teacher, hopes to design and make her own formal for the Festival nony. She is a junior leader in 4-H srly interested in sewing and knitting, earned achievement awards in cookly enjoys swimming. is a good student and she participates in many school activities. Both Denise and her alter­ nate were in the Junior Play. Linda Slade, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Theron Slade, of Vermontville, is also active in the activi­ ties at the school. She is varsity cheer leader, a member of the Pep Club and is active in the Girl's Athletic Association. Linda plans to go to college after she is graduated from Maple Valley, and would like to be an airline hostess. Both girls are carrying on syrup and festival tradi­ tions. Linda's sister Connie, was the alternate before het. Denise's family has been active in making syr­ up since 1875.. Others competing for the queen honor were Pam Grant, Louise Lindberg and Pam Barlond. Judges for the competition were Wilbur Marsh, Phyllis Kilpatrick, Winnie Mills, Paul Fisher and Carl Thrun. Mrs. Kilpatrick was the first Festival Queen. Denise Viele is ’67 Syrup queen �For the most in Vermontville, community itself is me result oi carerui f a group of adventurers from Vermont who "westward" to establish a colony where it would enjoy much the same cultural advs that existed in New England at the time So it was with the maple syrup industry, even though the early pioneers found the Indians already making syrup when they arrived in this part of the country. The Vermontville Syrup Festival Corporation was organized June 13, 1941, by interested citizens who were looking for a market for maple syrup and other maple products, and who wished to promote the community. Michigan has long held an important place in the production of maple syrup and sugar and Vermontville area farmers are high on the list of individual producers. The annual syrup festival, with the crowning of a Vermontville girl as the maple syrup queen, and a varied program carried on throughout the day, brings thousands of persons to this little community each year. When the village trees were first tapped, back in 1941, the syrup was made in a small building in the park on Main street. But because the lawn was dam­ aged each spring because of driving heavy vehicles onto it when unloading the sap, the building was moved a few hundred feet back of what is now ' Briggs Hardware. Then the building proved far too small, and three years ago a volunteer project pro­ vided a fine new 36, 000 Building which was con­ structed just to the east of the Methodist church. This was equipped with modern facilities, and it-is here the municipal syrup making is being carried on this year. Wilbur Baker is in charge of making the syrup, and so far well over 200 gallons have been made. Any syrup producer knows that good sap runs oc­ cur wnen the night temperatures are below freezing and the following days are warm. It takes from 30 to 50 gallons of sap to produce a gallon of syrup, de­ pending on the sugar content. The sugar content varies from tree ,to tree within a sugar bush and var­ ies considerably from one bush to another. The var­ iation and differences are due to a number of things including elevation, topography of the ground, ex­ posure, and age of the trees. On an average a tree produces anough sap for one gallon of syrup in a season. On festival day, which falls on Saturday, April 29 this year, some 12 to 20 producers will have their wares on hand, and the thousands of visitors may have his fill of pancakes and Vermontville-made syrup. Mrs. Beverly Kelley weighs a gallon Vermontville Maple Syrup as the-final check of quality.

As a maple syrup producer for more than 50 years it seems only fitting that he should have been se­ lected for the honor. Wesley suited helping his father, Aarron Curtis, in the family sugar bush on a farm in the Bellevue area when he was only a lad in his early teens. For the past 22 years he has lived on a farm where he has averages from 350 to 500 gallons of syrup annually. He recalls when syrup sold for $1. 00 a gallon and sugar, made in three to five pound "Slocks" sold for about 10 cents a pound. He also remem­ bers when the final "boiling down" was handled in the family kitchen, but now, with modern equip­ ment at his "sugar shanty" the syrup is all canned in the woods. . For many years Mr. Curtis has been a member of the Vermontville Maple Syrup Festival Corporation and has served as a trustee for several years. He ' was named chairman of the committee in charge of building the new municipal sugar shanty three years ago, and volunteered many hours or work in the construction of the $6, 000 building built in Vermontville. Mrs. Curtis has worked for many years right a­ long with him in making maple syrup. In addition she makes about 75 pounds of sugar each year. The Curtises take their syrup to the Michigan Sure Fair each year, along with some 40 pounds of sugar. They have taken first prize in the state on their syrup on two occasions, last year and three years ago. They have many customers who purchase syrup each year, including one family which has bought for 25 years. They have sent syrup and sugar all over the Uni­ ted States, from New Jersey to California, from Up­ per Michigan to Florida. With increased postage rates the past few years they do not send out as much as they did many years ago. . When the syrup season starts it means many long hours, and on occasions it has meant running the evaporator "around the clock' to keep ahead of the sap collection. When the rush of the season was over Mr. and Mrs. Curtis used to host dozens of "sugaring off parties for their many friends. And there is just nothing quite like stirring hot syrup into maple sugar, or pouring it over snow or ice to form wax. Of the 1967 season Mr. Curtis says that for the first time be can recall, he had to take the tractor back into the woods to break a path because of the deep snow. That way he was able to get to the trees to tap them. This year Mt. Curtis has the assistance of Mn. Gertrude McCrimmon, Ed. Goris and Tom Garrett in making maple syrup. At 72 Mr. Curtis isn't quite as active as he used to be, but he is right on the job to supervise all the work, and he puts in long hours at his sugar-shanty. Many hundreds of persons from all over Michigan have visited his sugar bush, including a groun or .Boy Scouts from Grand Rapids who each year'for the past eight have stayed over night in the woods where they set up tents and cooked their own meals over : an ppen fire. And, as one would expect, Mr. Curtis sees that they each have a sample of warm syrup. CROWNING OF QUEEN DENISE: By Lt Governor William Milliken 10: 30 a. m.

The church has developed a subdivision called "Ful­ ler Heights, " out of which they have reserved three and one-half acres for the new church facilities. There are forty spacious Iob platted, besides the church property, which are being sold to pay for the purchase and development, and help with the new church In the Sunday Morning Worship Service, 11:00-o' clock April 30, the first pastor of the church.

It just seems to me that the kids of today ate far mote talemed than they were when I was young. In foy day an attempt to produce a show such as they put on would have resulted in a very amateurish thing, indeed, They did a very professional job. Every one of them could try out for a Broadway production. I have beard that they intend to do this every year.... More power to them. Over 400 persons in the Nashville area turned out for TB tests at tbe recent clinic held here. Though most of them were adults, some children did receive tbe tests also. --News Photo Eaton County Board adopts 1967 equalization The Eaton County Board of Supervisors adopted the 1967 county equalization total of $174,348,875. This is an Increase of $9, 966,403 over tbe 1966 equalized value. The increase in value is the result of new con­ struction, new business, more equipment and in­ ventories and better assessment techniques. Some values decreased because of fires, businesses mov­ ing and smaller inventories, however, there was a loss of nearly three million dollan equalized value due to the exemption of agriculture personal prop­ erty. Because of this exemption, eight of the six­ teen townships Juve a value less than in 1966. All other townships lost farm personal property values too, but the increases for other properties more than made up for the loss in these units. Neatly all assessing units in Eaton County are trying to assess property at the statutory require­ ment of 505> of tbe true cash value. The assessors presented their assessment rolls, personal property statements and tbe records of assessment changes to tbe County Equalization Department. Thb In­ formation was reviewed for accuracy and com­ pleteness and approved by tbe Equalization Com- . mlttee. The committee recommendation was pre­ sented to tbe entire board of supervisors for adopttion of the county value. Tbe county value will not be final until the State Equalization is com­ pleted on May 22. 1967. "The equalization committee baa recommended to individual assessors certaip areas for improve­ ment of uniformity within the county. Major cate­ gories of study being planned for future assessor's worksbops are acreage land values, commercial building values, and personal property discovery and valuation. Monday I went down to Michigan State's campus to have lunch and as I walked across tbe campus behind a pretty blond young girl a sudden and ca­ pricious gust of wind whipped across the green. Tbe pretty blond changed before my eyes. She became a stringy haired brown-type colored haired girl I realized what had happened when 1 saw her take off across campus chasing what looked like a curly blond cat, or perhaps a pretty curly blond little ^he caught tbe wig, put it back on, and went on bet way, making adjustments to her hair. I followed her into the Union building and she went right into tbe ladies' room. I'll bet she pasted it down with gum or scotch tape. MMwde&tvicu Jamet Miller - Army Private James D.

Council sets new millage Nashville village officials set the millage for vil­ lage taxes this year, discussed trailer parking areas, ambulance service for the village and the violating of a village ordinance by some residents in allowing an accumulation of junk, discarded machinery, fur-7 niture and other articles to the extent of creating a nuisance, at their regular meeting Thursday evening in the village hall. The millage was set at 12 mills. This includes 6. 6 mills for the contingent fund; 3.4 for the street Hot Lunch Menu MAY 8 -- 12 MON--Mexican hamb.on bun, green beans, pea­ nutbutter sand., applesauce, cookie, milk TUES--Cream chicken/biscuit, cabbage-carrot salad, peach, cake, milk.

This year’s figure is based on the equal­ ized valuation. While the new figure for millage is less than last year the amount of money needed for village operation is slightly higher because of die difference in tax base. The total budget this year was set at $105, 738. 00. The village of Nashville has no area designated as a trailer park. This means that trailers are lo­ cated in various areas throughout the community. For the most part there has been no objection to the parking of trailers, especially those that are well kept and the owners take pride in the yard sur­ rounding the trailer. However, there are a few cases where the owners have unsightly traileB and as village president James Rizor said, "we are not going to become a dumping ground for old trailen, and we intend to govern these by strictly adhereing to our zoning code, We realize that many young couples just starting out cannot afford a $15, 700 to $20,000 home, and a trailer is the answer, but we have a number of trailen which are little more than junk heaps." The newly appointed Zoning Adminis­ trator, Donald Langham, was present and aided in the discussion. This led into a discussion of an accumulation of numerous pieces of junk in various locations, and these residents are to be ordered to clean up their premises or further action will be taken. President Rizor reported on a meeting Wednes­ day evening of representatives from Castleton and Maple Grove township boards, the village of Nash­ ville, along with George Vogt of the Vogt Funeral home and Fire Chief Forrest Babcock to discuss am­ bulance service for this area. Representing Castle- • < ton township were Supervisor Russell Mead and Clerk Cecil Barrett, and from Maple Grove town­ ship, Supervisor William Schantz. After a ' ■ lengthy discussion of various methods of providing ambulance service for the area, the meeting ad­ journed. Another meeting was scheduled for Mon­ day, May 1, when some favorable action was ex­ pected to develop.

LARRY REEVES, Nashville 653-3351 Area residents are invited by the Hastings Area United Church Women (Barry County) to plan now to attend May Fellowship Day on Friday. May 5. at the Woodland Church of the Brethren. Coats Grove Road. A cooperative luncheon wiU be served at 12:30 p. m. (bring your own table ser­ vice and a dish to pass; coffee and rolls will be furnished). At the program to follow, Mrs. Arthur Dodge will give the devotions. Mn. James Smith of Nashville is chairman for May Fellowship Day. The emphasis of the day will be on Family Life, with Mrs. Howard Bigelow of Kalamazoo as speak­ er. Mrs. Bigelow is a 76-year old grandmother, the widow of Howard F. Bigelow, who was a pro­ fessor of economics at Western Michigan Univer­ sity. specializing in family finance. Mn. Bigelow was interested as a young wife in how families spent their money, and why they spent it as they did. Finally her interest enveloped the entire area of family living. They had four children of their own and for many years opened their home and shared their life with many persons, students, and faculty. Their family life became a testing ground for book knowledge. Soon Ruth Bigelow found she could share her insights, so began to work with PTAs, Women's Clubs, YWCA, young peopled groups, and church groups. Now because of the interrelationships she continues to discover between church and family, she prefers to work in churches. This she does in various ways. In recent years, several Episcopal churches have invited Mrs. Bige­ low to visit their parish for varying amounts of time, from one to seven months. At present she is a family life consultant for the Family Life House of the Pottage Human Concerns Council. She tries to assist individuals and families to de­ velop a better pattern of family living, feeling that many things experienced in the church fam­ ily, such as forgiveness and gratitude, can have deep meaning in the lives of the families that make up the church. At this meeting clothing and other materials gathered for migrant workers in the Ionia area will be brought in from the churches. Mrs. C. B. Howe, the new Migrant Chairman, will be at the meeting to receive them. Officers of United Church women make the reminder that the offer­ ing taken on May Fellowship Elay stays here for the work of the local council. An invitation has also been received from Mrs. Julian Gromer, president of the Grand'Rapids Coun­ cil, to attend their observance of May Fellowship Day, at 8:00 p. m. on the evening of May 5, at Central Reformed Church, Grand Rapids. t,kR T»0* Carnival RADIO & TV Repair Work HUBERT LATHROP Main St. Nashville Closed Sat. afternoon OL3-9421 Fuller St. School May 5 St. Cyril’s Catholic Church Hey Kids!

Beedle Insurance Agency 100 S Main OL 3-8462 �Worked several time* with tbe Tillage ***re*tir tn AmbdI Report By CASTLETON TOWNSHIP SUPERVISOR Thi* report coven the period from April 1, 1966 to April 1, 1967. In the period of this report Cas­ tleton Township had one of its busiest and best years. Probably more building activity went on in this twelve month period than any other on record for the Township. 87 building permits were issued for a total value of about $275,000. Thi* covers aU of the major building project* in the township. This could be a lengthy report if all of the projects go­ ing on were reported. I will mention here a few of the area* of activity. This year saw-tbe township as well as Barry County and all of the State of Michigan go from as­ sessed valuation to State Equalized Valuation or S. E. V. The State Equalized valuation will be the only figure placed on your tax statement as it come* out in early December of thi* year. Of course, many adjustments have been made and will be made to meet the requirements of the state tew. You have paid taxes on state equalized val■i and so this changeover ■ ■' . require* that all village itical to the township asv* have required a lot of ' the supervisor in joint stings with the two Boards of Rertew involved. Your summer tax statement and your winter tax statement must bear the same figure a* an assessment. If these two figures do not agree a mistake has been made and I will appreci­ ate calling this to my attention. A new Building Ordinance was put into effect af­ ter careful discunion and consideration. It has been working out very well and is really a necessity with an area doing the amount of building, moving in ' and out of trailers, etc., that was done in our town­ ship test year. This year also saw the adoption of the permanent zoning ordinance which is adminis­ tered largely by the county. However, I have spent One of the busiest area* this year was on Pleas­ ant Shores, a part of the Charlton Estate on Thorn­ apple Lake. Lot* were sold a* fast a* they became available and there was much building and moving in of mobile home*. During the year the Warner cemetery was reac­ tivated with toe cooperation of local citizens and Howard Hobert Sexton for the cemetery. The cem­ etery was cleared of brush and part of it bulldozed for extra burial lots. Ten lots were sold during the year which is more than has been sold during the past several years. Local people working with the township have prepared maps and burial permits to those buying lot*. Considerable work was also done on tbe Hosmer and Barryville cemeteries in the way of removing dead trees, cleaning, mowing and graveling. I think that the township can very well ne proud of the way its three cemeteries look­ ed on Decoration Day. Considerable toad work wa*,done last year. Tbe major project was the preparation of Center Road for blacktop in the fall of 1967. This project in­ volved much grading, replacing of tubes, fences, removal of tree* etc. The temporary discomfort of Center roau should be a permanent improvement. We have had many compliments and favorable re­ pons on the road improvement* that have been made in the past three or four yean with rather a limited amount of money. These projects of course, included Barger, Cogswell, Center and the bridge over Thornapple River. In the spring of 1966 the entire townsnip board took a road tour and as a re­ sult of this, extra money was put into gravel in sev­ eral locations in the township. I think also that we can be very happy with the job of snow removal by the Barry county road commission and crew* during the past winter of heavy snow storms. The town­ ship provided considerable extra money for the re­ moval of this snow. We as a township also put considerable money in­ to fire fighting equipment, both in 1965 and again in 1966. Another new truck and equipment was purchased and this put the fire department in good shape, equipment-wise. Under the one mill tax for fire equipment that was first spread in 1964, we are coming out very good in our five year plan. We have made three tax collections on this extra equipment and will have it paid for well'ahead of the five year limit. Also in cooperation with the fire board and the fire department, a new burning ordinance was adopted effective April 12, 1966. At the present time we are working on better ambulance service for Castleton township. Several meeting* have been held with the various boards involved. Although nothing definite has been ac­ complished, the plans are in the making for the . township to have some part in ambulance service on a limited basis. As you know, most of the am­ bulance owners went out of business as of March 1. Our local ambulance service stayed in business at least on a temporary basis until some sort of ar-’ rangement can be made by the township. During the year two new plats were developed. These were Fuller Heights and Prudden's Plat on Lit­ tle Long Lake. Prudden's Plat has required a consid­ erable amount of work on the part of the supervisor in checking and enforcing platting rule* and regu­ lations. This extra property all adds to the tax base. At least three other plat* are in the planning and developing stage. Any one thinking of selling more than three lot* from tneir property should first con­ sult with us and make sure that they are within the limit* of the plat law. Another new law this year states that all farm times I wonder If I am spending more time on tax exemption* than on taxes. Exemptions now include, of course in addition to the farm personal, senior citizen exemptions, blind exemptions, veteran ex­ emptions and exemptions on federal, state and lo­ cal government-owned property. This year we have 171 senior citizen exemption* as compared to 178 last year. There are 11 veteran exemptions as com­ pared to 12 last year. Eleven new senior citizens came in for exemption this year and the difference comes through those who have passed on during the year as well as those who have moved or rented. In mentioning property that is exempt I did not men­ tion all the church property that u exempt in the township and this amounts to quite an item. Fortyfour items of real estate are exempt in the township for various categories. Going back for a minute to the farm personal exemption, of course, then- i* no reimbursement on this exemption a* there is with the senior citizen and veteran exemptions. The township will lose some $230,000 of state equalized valuation through this exemption. Through a state study it was found out that the farmer was paying thi* loss is made up through new building and other new property going on the tax roU. tta state has required the supervisor to take tbe fata inventory a* usual and then enter it in the assezsment roll and mark it exempt. As you can see thi* ba* all add­ ed more work to the supervisor's job instead of less. Three properties that have been exempt were added . to the roll through the state land sale. sale, Listing rather ather briefly a few of the tbe other ol activities that I have been involved in: Five county commit­ tee assignments; equalization chairman, rule* and resolutions, salaries, township clerks report (chair­ man) and county planning. Office hour* every Fri­ day for exemption* in particular. Board of Review 5 days. Many property description check*. Consum­ ers Power conferences on personal taxes. Tax Asses­ sor* conference in Grand dds. Worked out *ystem for keeping better tr__________ __ and mobile of trailen home*. Thirty-five were moved into the township last year. A check with the county surveyor or prop­ erty survey*. Estimate* of bringing some private roads up to county specification*. Made arrange­ ment* for burning of two old buildings as practice for the fire department. Completed federal census report on new building within the township. Wrote article for county equal­ ization committee and published in five county pa­ per*. Trip to Lansing in regards to rules and regula­ tions for senior citizen and veteran exemption*. classes for real estate and five classes for personal assessments. Total assessment roll for 1966 amount­ ed to $5,121, 945 or a little over 110,000,000 cash value in the township. Total amount of tax toll spread for various pur­ poses, 9146, 632.74. Total amount of parcels the tax was spread on, 1430 including personal*. Cas­ tleton township belongs to both the state associa­ tion of supervisors and the Michigan townships As­ sociation. No report is complete without a look at the future as well as what ha* been accompliihed. We will need to consider more money for road* and perhaps a new bridge a* money become* available. We should also be thinking about a new building to bouse fire equipment and possibly ambulance equip­ ment in the tame building. Suitable ambulance service for our area still ha* some work to be e ffective. New rule* and regulations will won be in effect on disposal of garbage and waste material. This no doubt will involve some investment of towmhip fund*. A* the township continue* to e x pand it will be necessary to spend a little more on office equipment and help, both of which seem to be at a minumum at the present time. Now for a few statistic* from the supervisor’s standpoint: Board meetings (county and towmhip) 45; County committee meetings, 21; Letter* sent out, 265; letters received, 233; calls made out in the towmhip, 327; calls made at the bouse or com­ ing to tbe office, 201; telephone call* made out, 162; telephone calls coming in, 418; appraisals made for Probate Court, 19; gun permit* signed, 8; building permit* issued, 87, zoning permits checked. 40; mile* driven while working for tbe We may often think that not much it being ac­ complished until we <tart reviewing where we have been In the test twelve month* and then it all add* up to quite a lilt. The accomplishments that we have made of course, are only possible through the cooperation of the people of the township as well as tbe work and dedication of each member of the ' township board. I appreciate thi* cooperation in that it make* my work much easier at times. If at any time I can be of help on township matters, please feel free to let me know. 1966 was a good year for Castleton towmhip and we are all ready at work to make 1967 as good or better.

He will call on Mn. Vera Calhoun and Mr. Hdred Toutant in his discussion of prospective changes in the schools. Mr. Larsen was interviewed early in the year and made the following comments. Youth is testing the values of a past generation. There is a lack of confidence in themselves, he stated, because they are not sure of the values they now have. It is gen­ erally conceded that 1/2 of the population of the United States is under 26 yean of age. There is a job for everyone in community affairs and what we have should be used to the greatest extent As a nation, we need self-discipline, we should be sen­ sitive to the needs of others. Consequently, all a­ gencies should work together. His final comment was that youth today needs more understanding than youth in the past He felt he could show def- Lt.

Summer Remedial Reading program to be offered The Maple Valley Schools will again be offering a Summer Remedial Program under the Federal Ele­ mentary-Secondary Education Act, Title L The pro­ gram will begin June 26th and end August 4th. Class­ es will be held in the mornings only from approxi­ mately 8 until 12 o'clock with the exception of July 4th. There will be three locations. This year's students in grades three through six will meet at the Fuller St. and Maplewood Schools. Students in grades sev'en through ten will meet at the Jr. Sr. High School. Bus transportation will be furnished anti there will be no charge for the program. Students will be eligible for this program who are in need of help with their reading. Students will be screened by the classroom teacher and the adminis­ tration. Those students who qualify will be notified in advance of the program. The purpose of this program is to help those stu­ dents who need extra attention in the related areas of reading. Through the federal funds provided for this program, new materials and teaching aids have been purchased to assist the teacher in helping your / child. Some of the equipment that will be used are reading kits, reading machines, supplementary books along with filmstrips, tapes, and records. Dur­ ing the summer, the classes will be taken on field trips to such places as the State Capitol, Kellogg Company, John Ball Park and the Nature Center. In addition to helping children with their reading, each child will be given, free of charge, some book: that they may keep to nan their own Dome library. Social Science By GRETA FIRSTER Mary Latta, Cindy Dies and Larry Shance brought articles and money from Japan and Korea for out exhibit table. Bill Eastman brought a Ca­ nadian Centenial coin collection. One of our bulletin boards contains an exhibit of Expo '67. which win be held in Montreal, Can­ ada this summer. Cindy Babcock’s family is plan­ ning on attending this world's Fair. Cindy has promised to bring back some pictures. We thank David Pfaff for sending us a Peoples Republic of China calendar and magazine issued in 1967. This is the first real Chinese propaganda we have had a chance to read. Mao's picture on the front looks like an 18 year old. Yet the pic­ ture reads, "Mao— taken in Dec. 1966." This was undoubtedly done to dispell the fears of Mao's fol­ lowing that he was old, tired, and senile. Larry Snow and Rod Pennock taped the two parts of The Saigon Report and played them in our Gov­ ernment class. We thought it somewhat anti- A­ merican. Rod also taped the Anatomy of a letter for us. Did you know that Ho Chi Min worked in Boston and New York City before he finally went home to Viet Nam? The 7 E Michigan History class has written to many industries for information to share with the class. Sandy Dies and Lois Pennock gave us an ex­ cellent report on the making of paper. Bart Bracy and Gary Goris are preparing their materials on salt. Many have not received their materials yet The 7E class will join Mrs. Baas' group for a visit to Lansing the 3rd of May. Mrs. Dies, Mrs. Demond and Mrs. Brown will act as helping aides for our group. Sandy Dies brought several books from the Put­ nam Library on the early history of Michigan. We enjoyed the many stories in them. We saw a deer out our north window one day last week. They are too beautiful to kilL We are always happy to have old grads drop in. College seems to agree with Steve Douse, Steve Graham, Cherry Benedict and Ron Barrette. Uncle Sam's Navy is doing o. k. by Jim HalliwelL . The American Government classes have just fin­ ished studying our Foreign Policy. Did you know we have a collective security pact with 43 coun­ tries? Did you know we have distributed $123,400', 000, 000 in American aid since July! 1945? Did you know the lion's share went to Great Britain? So--today England sends motors to North Viet Nam plus a great amount of other things. Quotation from Pete, the Philosopher; “ Excell- * ence has to be paid for, and the price tag is high." It requires time, patience, sometimes money and keeps one's eye on the distant goal. " Bryan Stocks of Phoenix, Arizona, visited us one day last week. He is a CPA in Phoenix. His com­ pany is sending him to school in Chicago for three weeks. Jeff Mix and Allen Kill stoppeu for a few minutes, too. Jeff is in the Air Force and will soon be sent to Hawaii. Allen is working in Charlotte. We welcome a new student, Ruth Isaacson, in grade 7E. Congratulations to Sarah Hansen and Larry Snow • who passed their civil service exam for a summer job in a post office.

Loren Dingman, who owns and operates the South End Food and Beverage, on south Main street, has announced the opening of a new business supplying flowers, plants, corsages and many other services. Mr. Dingman will qpntinue to operate the South End Food and Beverage along with his new Floral business. This could be the story of a person who sets a goal and continues along paths leading to that goat Loren has always had an interest in ana a feeling for flow­ ers, shrubs, plants and this type of thing. His previous addition of these items, though at a smaller scale, to bis present grocery business indi­ cates his interest along these lines. The business will be housed in the building on South Main street, previously occupied by the Ding­ mans as a home. The entire living area has been changed to accommodate shelves and large display areas have been set up for arrangements of all kinds - fresh flowers, plants ana permanent arrange­ ments. The kitchen area will be used for preparing the floral pieces and refrigeration of fresh flowers. Assisting Mr. and Mrs. Dingman in this new v e n ture will be Mrs. Edna Edwards, who will have charge of the flower end of the business. Other helpers in­ clude Mrs. Marion Link, Mike Snyder and Floyd Shaffer. Mn. Edwards is no newcomer to the flower busi­ ness. She has been making arrangements of perman­ ent flowen since 1958 and for the past three years has also worked with fresh flowen in preparing ar­ rangements. She has lived in this area since 1945. Loren became owner of the South End Food and Beverage approximately six yean ago. He and his wife, Gerry, have always lived in the Nashville area. Both are graduates of the Nashville High School He attended a school for Electronics in De­ troit for a time following his graduation from high school. His growth at South End Food and Beverage is well known to the Nashville residents. He started with groceries, slowly changed the appearance of the store, adding new cooling space and making a larger area available for a more complete line of grocery items. He added a SDD License. Every year he had a complete line of plants, flowen ana vegetables available to his customen. Recently he added shrubs to his list. The opening of this Floral business only adds to the total picture in giving the area residents a complete service. Many fresh tresn cut flowen tiowen will be oe on hand nana and ana avail avail-­ be taken for able, as iwill potted " Jplants. .------ Orden " '------will ----------------wedding arrangements and funeral flowen. Conages will be made. All will be delivered if desired. As an added attraction for the Grand Opening this week-end, a coupon in his advertisement will give a free corsage on Saturday, May 13, for mother. The Grand Opening will take place from Thunday until Saturday, May 11th to 13th. All are invitea to come to the shop and see the arrangements and view the new location. Colon and the variety of flowen used can create moods and styles. Y ears ago people often ordered flowen by the dozen, although now days people us­ ually prefer to have one particularly nice arrange­ ment in one focal point of their home, rather than a bouquet in each room as they tended to yean ago. Women tend to buy more flowen and generally pre­ R ** Mrs. Edna Edwards arranges a floral display for the opening this week of Maple Valley Floral Shop, Loren Dingman, below, is the owner of the shop, ° --News Photo fer delicate colors, while men tend to select strong colors in reds, oranges and yellows. The variety and style of arrangements on display at the Maple Valley Floral would match favorably with those in much larger cities in the area. All res­ idents will certainly enjoy this newest addition to the growth and enrichment of the Nashville area. Mr. and Mn. Dingman have recently purchased the Jack Green home on Durkee Street. They reside there with their two children, Randy ana Deuise. Represented in art show Two local persons are represented at the Battle Creek 100 Art Exhibition at the Civic Art Center at Battle Creek.

Present enjoyable melodrama Sweeny Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street, which the Battle Creek Civic Theatre will present at Kellogg Community College May 19 and 20, will prove to be one of the moat enjoyable plays presented by the Civic Theatre this season. The story depicts the delightfully gory life of Sweeny Todd, a barber whose cruel antics lead to the down fall of many a hapless man who comes into h is shop wanting nothing more than a shave or haircut. Instead, he is more than likely to find himself served as a meat pie. What makes this hair-raising old 19th Century melodrama even more enjoyable is the belief that the author, George Dibdin Pitt, based his play on a legend of a demon barber who once was said to have operated soiqirfhere in the vicinity-of Fleet Street, London, b&reference to the legend of a date earlier than the play can be founcL But it seems quite probably that there was such a story as Mr. Pitt usually borrowed the plots of his plays. Pitt is sometimes compared to Shakespeare be­ cause he wrote prolifically but left practically no record of his life except ins plays. One of the first of.all real crime plays, Sweeny Todd, is one of the very few of the many plays by the author which has survived to be played today. And it's no w o n der. Todd, the diabolical demon barber (played by James Copeland) and his accomplice in guilt Mrs. Lovett (played by Mrs. M.C. Mildred Babcock) deserve every boo and hiss they get as they murder one customer after another. But all is not dark, for in the end the hero, sea captain Mark Ingestrie (portrayed by Chris Thorre), saves the day with the help of Tobias Ragg (Steve Lewis). Todd's appren­ tice boy, and the other "good guys. " The melodrama will provide a delightful eve­ ning's entertainment for the whole family. ty.

Beat the, end of the play there tween each act an<id______ gician, can can-­ will be specialty acts featuring a magician, tolcan girls, a barber shop quartet, a very special to' ler skating act, and more. One of the special things to look for during me play is Todd's trick barber chair.

Curren iey didn’t know really whether they wanted to go. Gosh, it sounded like a lot of money. And then to be gone for 21 days . . . that’s a long time. But then, “everybody goes to Rome and Paris, so let’s be differ­ ent and take a trip that's really a trip. This year we’re going to Eastern Europe and Russia with Farm and Home." What was this Midwestern couple talking about? They had heard and joined Farm and Home’s most spectacu­ lar tour to date—the granddaddy of all Farm and Home tours — to the magic lands of Russia . . . Poland . . . Rumania . . .Bulgaria . . . Hungary . . . and Holland.

Davis, who was North Dakota’s governor for two terms—1957 to 1961, is the second North Dakotan to head the American Legion. The first was Lynn U. Stam­ baugh of Fargo, who was the commander in 1941. Commander Davis, 53, lives in Bismarck where he is in the cattle and banking business. His earlier homes were in McClusky and Goodrich. Bom April 18,1913 in Minneapolis, Minn., Davis spent his boyhood in Goodrich, moving with his family to Fargo where he attended high school for three yfears. His fam­ ily then moved to Bismarck, and it is here that Davis graduated from high school. In 1935 he graduated from the University of North Dakota with a degree in business administration, and then entered the family banking and ranching business in McClusky. Just prior to the start of World War It, Davis was called to active duty as a lieutenant in the Army. He served un­ til the end of the war, rising to the rank of lieutenant colonel, and receiving the Silver Star for his regiment's first combat in Europe. He was also awarded the Purple Heart for a bullet wound he suffered in the leg. Upon return to civilian life, Davis became commander of the American Legion post at McClusky, and subse­ quently commander of the North Dakota Legion. He also served on several national legion committees. He and his wife—the former Pauline Huntley who was a mathematics and music teacher in McClusky before marrying Davis in 1938—have two sons and a daughter. (North Dakota's women lead, too. Mrs. Alvin Moltzen, New Salem, is one of five vice-presidents of the national American Legion Auxiliary.)

Dobson, publisher of the Minot Daily News, became the Grand Exalted Ruler of the Order of Elks on July 4, 1966 in Dallas, Tex. (Another North Da­ kota resident—Sam Stem, Fargo—held this high office for the 1952-53 term.) Dobson was bom on a farm in Otter Tail County near Parkers Prairie in Minnesota, and was raised and edu­ cated in Minnesota before moving to North Dakota. He entered newspaper work as a cub reporter, and in manager, and finally publisher. For his outstanding work in the newspaper field, he has received honors from local and national press associations. Active in civic and community affairs all of his life, Dobson is a member of the First Presbyterian Church, the Masons, Shriners, Kiwanis and Minot Country Club. He has served two terms on a state Interracial Council, was chairman of the Red Cross war fund drive, has been president of the Minot Chamber of Commerce, and is on the board of directors of St Joseph's Hospital in Minot Dobson became a member of the Elks in 1923, and was elected exalted ruler of the Minot lodge in 1931. He became a state officer of the Order in 1933, and was active on the state level—state president in 1954—until 1956 when he advanced to the national level of Elk activity. After serving in several national posts, he resigned as a grand trustee to accept the post of Grand Exalted Ruler to which he was unanimously elected last July. Mrs. Dobson, the former Gene Heggen of Minot, ap­ peared with her husband when he was inducted into of­ fice. Also present were the Dobson’s children: a son and a daughter.

This arrangement gives the tiny railroad about $8,000 yearly, and takes the red ink off the ledger. As a result of this arrangement, the Illinois Midland was able to junk its old engine. A newer model diesel locomotive was located in a factory at Galesburg. It was purchased, painted a vivid yellow. it’s a very informal railroad. When a car of grain is loaded at the Newark Grain Company, one of the company em­ ployes, Lawrence Akre, goes out to the locomotive shed, runs out the diesel and hooks it to the loaded grain car. Then he starts for Millington, two miles distant He’s his own brakeman, gate-opener, track maintenance man, oiler. Each time the little train approaches a highway crossing, engineer Akre gives a warning blast on the whistle, and creeps across. If cattle are grazing in a pasture through which the road runs, he stops the train to operrand close gates. Sometimes a limb falls across the track, another delay. But usually the daily run is made without mishap. There are no train orders, no switching to let another train pass. Sometimes the yellow locomotive pulls but a single loaded grain car. But even that is a profitable operation. The tiny railroad might be too insignificant to even rate listing in railroad journals, but to the farm community 'of Newark it is very important, literally their bread and butter. less than 2 miles long! ILLINOIS FARMERS CLAIM SHORTEST RAILROAD Have you counted the bales you tie? by Grover Brinkman The small farm community of Newark, Illi­ nois boasts the nation's shortest standard gauge railroad, strictly a freight operation, in constant operation since 1917. The Illinois Midland Railroad Company has exactly 1.9 miles of trackage. It starts at New­ ark, rolls through a cow pasture, a wooded -tract, crosses several secondary farm roads, and winds up at the town of Millington. Although the trackage is less than 2 miles, and the road has but a single locomotive — a second-hand orange-coldred diesel — it oper­ ates on a fairly tight schedule—at a profit. The railroad itself, once a community en­ terprise, was later purchased by the Newark Farmers Grain Company. It hauls grain from Newark to Millington, and saves area farmers a sizeable amount in freight bills. The railroad has a contract with the CB&Q to put its grain cars on their siding at Milling­ ton, where the cars join larger trains on this major road, headed, for Chicago markets. If the little orange locomotive of the Mid­ land didn’t make its daily run, it would be necessaiy to truck all area grain to the town of Morris, 25 miles distant, tnen move it via river barge to the Chicago market, rather an expen­ sive process, freight-wise. _ .Originally, the railroad was meant to be a " much longer line. Newark oldsters still remem­ ber back in 1913 when a promoter came to town with a grandiose scheme to give the iso­ lated inland town a railroad connection. He built the short road, collected a lot of money from area farmers and business men on the promise to extend the road to the town of Se­ neca. But one night the man slipped out of town, dollars and all. Since the two-mile railroad had no one to manage it, the farmers who had their money in the trackage and right-of-way leased it to the local grain company in 1922. Twenty years later the grain company purchased it entirely. The little railroad began hauling corn, oats and soybeans to Millington, pulling back load­ ed cars of coal, lumber and fertilizer. ■ But as the years passed, the engines wore “ out, the trackage needed repairing and replace­ ment The operation found itself very much in the red About ready to throw in the towel, officials of the Illinois Agricultural Association heard the woes of the farm railroad and decided to Farmer Glenn Fritz, of Lennox. South Dakota, is one of many farmers who report tying extra bales of hay per bale of Eastman Baler Twine. That's "Scoop* going along for the ride. He's Eastman's expert on twine.

The sign lights up bright and yellow to let folks know that the VFW is there and they are open for business. . I have not been past there lately to see bow they are coming with the building, but the last I saw it they were going right along on it. Twenty-four Lions and ladies went out to the Nordia last Saturday night to have dinner. This is one of the annual affairs I look forward to, but this year I couldn't attend the party. My boy, Chris, and I were down in Indy watch­ ing Gordie qualify and hoping Sam would get a chance to get out. 1 got some good pictures of Sam and his car (which is in pieces) and will run them along with a story next week. The mushroom season is upon us again and the mushroom hunters are out crawling through the woods like mad. Mike Appelman took a canoe down the river the other day to pick a few. Mike decided that if he came into an area from the back side (river side) there wouldn't be so many people there to get the mushrooms before be got there. Mike was wrong. He said the people were there before him and got all the big ones. They did leave him a few little fellows though. When Sandy Reid posed for that picture with the big mushroom I asked her where she got it. She was real evasive in her answer. Her father said that like a true mushroom hunter, she wouldn't tell where the really good ones are hiding in the weeds. He said even he didn’t know just where she got it. Mushroom hunters are like fishermen. They re­ fuse to tell the really good spots. You can be sure that if they tell you where to go for mushrooms, it is because they know a place mat is much better then that. I think that they tell you the second, by John boughton third and fourth best spots in order to keep you busy and a long way away from the number one spot. Every year the folks up at Mackinaw City get to­ gether and put on a show depicting the massacre that occurred at the Fort there, back in 1763. They get a bunch of people to play at being In­ dians and a number of the citizens of town play at being the British and they go through the whole massacre again just like the first tune, way back when. This is one time when it would be wise to be on the side of the Indiana, because they are the ones who come out ahead. Actually the Indians pretended to be playing a game of Lacrosse and when one of the players threw the ball into the fort, the whole bunch, both teams, took out after the balL When they got inside the fort, they scalped the people there. It can't be that the Indians do too good a job of it these days, though, because they are going to have the re-enactment of the massacre each day from May 27 through the 30th. If the Indians did a really good job of It they wouldn't have any white men left over for the show the next day. From reading about this thing, I get the idea that the historians are no longer convinced that the In­ dians were the bad guys. There seems to be a feel­ ing that they bad a bit of a reason for wanting their land back. It is a good thing that they don't start plugging for it back now, because there are a lot ofpeople who would gladly give it to them. Maybe they wouldn't do much worse a job of it than we have. At any rate. I'll bet they wouldn't be spoiling the water and the air. Maple Valley News Nashville News & Vermontville Echo NASHVIILE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publication, Inc.

While most parents do not approve of their chil­ dren watching televwioo too much, to may help them to become good readers. At least that it the concensus of opinion after the 52 students in the sixth grade of the Maple Valley schools at Nash­ ville completed four weeks u«ing the Craig Reading machines under the sunervuion of Mrs. Mildred Hose. It seems that the T. V. watchers pick up the work most easily. The Craig Reading machines are an electric screen with a shutter which moves down the page at various speeds. The speed for reading can be c o n trolled by the student, and gradually increased as the child becomes more accustomed to reading phrases. Too many young readers read word by word. The purpose of the machines is to teach the eye to move rapidly from left to right and to read phrases ^and groups of words. There are two speed settings on these machines. The tachistoscope setting is for flash viewing of numbers or words along with short sentences. This includes welling practices and vocabulary work. Some of the numbers are in columns and some are staggered from the left to the right. This quick viewing trains the eye muscles to move back and forth rapidly. A shutter can be opened to view and check each page that has just passed. On the reading setting these is a control knob. This keeps the line shutter moving at the same meed. They start at a comfortable speed and then gradu­ ally can be increased, as the child tries to keep comprehension high at the same time. At the end of each story questions are answered to see how well the student can comprehend and remember the story. There are five machines in use and are owned by the school. It is possible to get each student to un­ derstand the use of the machine in a little over an bout. With the machines in use four days a week each student gets a chance to use the machine three or four times a week. The response has been enthusiftStic. The students also work on another individual read­ ing program, the Science Research Associates, when they are not using a Craig machine. Special recognition to be given Recognition will be given to students with out­ standing scholastic records as members of the fac­ ulty of Maple Valley High School plan for an Hon­ ors Night Thursday, May 25th at the high school This is the first year for such a special program and the arrangements for the program are being ta­ ken care of by Mrs. Elbert Carpenter.

The fire board, made up of representatives of the Maple Grove and Castleton townships and the v i 1 lage of Nashville, was granted $250. Because of the extremely meager pay the volunteer fire 'depart­ ment members receive, it is quite probable 'the three governing bodies will set up a bigger bucket in the future to improve this situation. Presently the firemen are paid $3.00 each for the first hour and $1.00 an hour for the remaining hours they are on a fire call As one Nashville councilman said, "I wouldn't get out of bed on a cold winter night for that kind of money. " The council voted $100 toward Christmas decor­ ations. This will be used with the $400 the Chamber of Commerce has provided. Approval was given the Nashville Volunteer Fire department to use the west end of Washington street for the annual Home Coming Festivities. The tenta­ tive dates are Thursday, Friday and Saturday, June 22. 23 and 24. The council voted to accept the maintainence contract with the Michigan Sure Highway depart­ ment for M-66 running through Nashville’s Main street The officials are asking motorists and drivers of motorcycles not to use the alleys for through traffic, but to restrict their driving to the regular streets throughout the village. The township officials of Castleton and Maple Grove townships and the village council are still working on ambulance service for the Nashville area, but no final decisions have been reached.

Mr. Strass will give an illustrated lecture on His­ torical buildings of Michigan and particulary of Ea­ ton County. __ _ Eaton~Cbuntys Court House is most representative of classical nineteenth century public buildings. Vermontville has two classical buildings; the Con­ gregational Academy and Church. They strongly re­ semble the New England prototypes. . The original Homer's Mill in Eaton Rapids was a " good example of an early industrial building. The meeting is to be open to the public without admission charge. Honorable and Mrs. Claude Burton of Squash Hill, Bellevue have extended an invitation to the Eaton County Historical Society to visit their Museum for its June 8 meeting.

The Boy Scouts and Firemen upped the trees and coliecud the sap and their profit for this work as an additional $238. 30 each. The Maple Syrup association kept $1,000 out for maintainence and to start operation next year. In addition they donated syrup to various groups in the amount of $291. 95. It is saddening to see a new highway or ouilding project encroach upon a cemeury. Yet this is ineviuble with an expand­ ing population. If your religion does not forbid cremation, you may wish to give thought to tnis alternative, and to discuss it with your clergyman and funeral director. Respectfully, SEE US FOR PARTS & SERVICE 'Voc FUNERAL I Francis Squires, center, as representative of the Boy Scout organi­ zation, accepts a check from Harold Christiansen for their part i n the Maple Syrup production this year. Frank Scramlin is ou the right. --Photo by Gladys Richardson �Sugar Shanty Diary Editor's Note; The following article from Mn. Ton­ kin is an account of this year's Maple Syrup Associ­ ation activity and should prove to be interesting to the area residents. Well, after a nectrc two weeks ot meetings, visits to installations around Michigan, we had the new gas burners installed, the new gas stove installed, the cleaning and painting done and were ready to re­ ceive the sap when it ran. Most of the drive for the actual selection of the gas burners came from Jim, Harold and Fred and I just backed him up. March 13. We boiled two good gallons with the new gas jets.. whoopee. Slightly burned the first batch. We learned that we must carry the level high­ er than ever before. March 14. Started boiling at 10 a. m. and finish­ ed at 11 p. m. Sixty four gallons of syrup. We must carry the sap level higher than ever before and gen­ erally take off more then. Each time we start up we must, after about one half hour, draw off a couple of gallons of near syrup from center pan and throw it into the second or third pan from the raw sap. May­ be twice or three times to get it circulating. When the opposite looks reasonably light we are m busi­ ness. We found we could take off tonight about ev­ ery 35 to 45 minutes. Color Is excellent. March 15. Cold. No sap to boil. Pipes frose slight­ ly. We thawed. No breakage. March 16. Bought supplies, delivered syrup to stores who sell it without profit to themselves. Depos­ ited $46.00. March 17. Cold, didn't boil. We sold syrup. March 18. Cleaned up a bit and sold syrup. Harold donated lumber and he and Jim built a storage clos­ et out of the old coal bin. Shelves and everything including lock. All you have to do around here late­ ly is ask for it and you get it. Earl put up the beau­ tiful hex sign that was given to us by Jane and Jerry. Duane did a fine job on the work chart. Marie Christiansen has died. We are sick about it. We will just have to carry Harold's end of the load. March 19. Sunday; Started boiling at 1 o'clock and quit at 5:40. Boiled about 45 gallons. It didn't want to circulate as usual for the fiat two hours. About 200 visitors were given samples. We sold the syrup hot and the people just stood around and wait­ ed for it. Then we ran out of gallon cam and then out of sap. March 20. Monday. Jane and I cleaned, as we ex­ pected the state inspector to come any day. And it was a sticky mess from Sunday. Jim and Ed went to Lansing for supplies. I deposited $486. 52. Burners and stove are paid for and with what we have left over we have $526. 52. March 21. Tuesday. Jim and I rearranged the shanty a bit and counted the spiles and checked sap as it was brought in. I called and got workers. De­ livered syrup. Hot water heater is very uncoopera­ tive. After work Earl came and fixed it. When the season is over we will change it over to the natural gM. March 22. Wednesday. Norm and Barbara came and helped boiL The pipe bringing in the sap to pan started to leak and had to have the pipe replac­ ed while we were boiling. We found that the tin quart and pint cam were defective and each had to be washed of solder additive. Barbara took some of - them back after dinner and had them replaced with glass. We took off 85 gallons from 11:45 a. m. to 12:05 p. m. March 23. Thursday. 1 got Helen to help make it spick and span. Sure enough the inspector came about 11 a. m. Jim was there, too. We got a nice report from him. Really gave me a boost. We do have to paint the outside tank this summer. I n respect to weights, we ran as much as 6 ounces over on the gallons and on down. We had one pint and one half-pint 1/8 ounce under. Not counting that quart that some very funny joker put just an ounce in and sealed it ana put.it on the counter with the rest. Needless to say the inspector would-pick that one up. He had quite a riot telling of jailing thevice-president and etc., of the Nashville Maple Syrup Association along with one trustee of said or­ ganization as well as being Mayor of the town, for cheating on weight. Thank goodness it was such a small amount he knew it was a joke. I'll admit I sweat for a few minutes, and I would have loved to put a hex on the person who did it. One shut-off came unsoldered from the boil pan and Earl solder­ ed it that night after work. . March 24. Friday. Both of them stuck and then broke off. and Wally and I had to do some fancy dipping or we woula have burned the boil-off pan. They stuck when we were taking off syrup. The one we usually take out stuck and broke off and we made a quick grab for a screw driver. It didn't budge. (Afterwards we tried to switch with cold one It broke off too). Wc quit and George will solder it in the morning. Boy, what suction! Then we hur­ riedly dipped the syrup over into the boil off pan. It reminded me of the story of the saintly old lady who had only to ask and the Lord seemed to grant her prayers. Joshua, her son said, "Maw, bow come that He answers your prayers but he don't pay no count to mine? She replied, "You ain't praying enuf son, praying a lot gives you a lot of suction. " -------------.... ---------■-------. ...jabouj Jerry went,--------------for cans today. I worried all night having to rush to Lans! ---- *ng new shutoffs - ~ on Saturday ,------------------if these well. Easter weekend too, and they close at noon on Saturday. I deposited $109. 75, now have $637. 27. Bills are paid as they come in. The stores bring their money tn for deposit. Saturday Morning. March 25. I've been calling ■ for workers since early morning before the men go By VALERIA TONKIfl, V*ce Pres, Maple Syrup Association, Nashville to work. 1 haven't got them yet. It's warm. Sap is coming in like heck. I called Carl Thrun at Ver­ montville and they were nice enough to lend us a couple of shutoffs in case ours get too much suction again. I'have Wayne coming at noon to start boil­ ing. Jim got nervous and started the fire, trusting that I would barrel down there. I did. Everything went all right and I got it circulating. 1 now know that in a pinch I could get them circulating just as Norm does even with this hot gas. Wayne came ear­ ly and I didn't have to take off. I had a dozen oth­ er things on my mind anyway. Still haven't got workers for around the clock and we are going to have to do it. Saturday afternoon. It's a madhouse down here. Boy Scouts, Firemen, farmers, visitors and so forth. I finally got workers after burning up the telephone. It's the Easter weekend that has made it so hard. Then boiling around the clock too. It would be nice if I could s< lule a week in advance or even a day in advance, but the weather does not cooperate. Saturday evening--! just-hap­ pened to have a dozen eggs up there seeing it's Easter Eve and Don and Phyllis, Larry and I just dropped them in die take off pan. I dashed up town for butter for use with keeping the foam down and you know what else. When I get back the eggs are done. No maple flavor except from our fingers when we shell them. I never saw eggs taste so good. I will keep this night in my memory. I hope that I can include a lot of preachers and teachers in on this deal after Easter is over. It helps their organi­ zations and such wonderful fellowship. Two years ago I had a Fox and a Wolfe work together one night. Easter Morning. March '26. I got up and went to Sunrise service, ate breakfast and was down there to see how Dick was coming at 9:00. I met Wally and his son just going home. Bless them. I assisted him until help came on at noon. Nearly ran out of sap due to poor timing on the part of the firemen and boy scouts pickup. The pails are running over. I was very fed up. The visitors and buyers are /flocking in. Will I have to boil water so they can see how it works? Doug finally got his dinner guests to help pick up sap and bailed us out. The shanty is flHed with a continuous run of visitors. Mrs.HamUton and two of her Future Homemakers are help­ ing at the counter. We sell the syrup to them a t half price and they then make it into sugar and sen it down here. They make a real tidy sum this way. They helped with washing windows and gen­ eral cleaning when we opened up too. Between 200 and 300 visitors went through. I try to explain or have explained to them how this process comes a­ bout. It is still fascinating to me as it is to them. We have such an exceUent facility here now. I know that I am forgetting to teH many of the things that people have done and about the sincere inter” est shown here this year. None of us do it for honor or glory anyway and if they do, I am afraid they are going to be disappointed. If we have a good year the community will profit in many ways and that is what we ate interested in. " Monday, March 27. Deposited $675; 05. Total on hand before was $1142. 27, now it is $1, 780.69. Jim and I boiled for a few hours. We can do it alonel I couldn't seem to get a preacher. We did a lot of cleaning and business. I couldn't seem to get a teacher either. x Tuesday, March 28. Earl, Jim and I boiled for a while in the evening. Lawrence and Earl have surely sold a lot of syrup down to Kelloggs. There is not much sap coming in. Wednesday, March 29. Bob and Bill boiled in evening. It's slowing up. It had better freeze soon. I have a bet on with a guy and if it doesn't freeze soon I am going to lose. It's a good thing it's only for fifty cents. Thursday, March 30. We didn't boil, but did many things. Friday, March 31. I had to be out of town so Jim and Helen boiled. Now Jim'knows he can do it without me. Helen is ready to take off too. Now we need just two more women to learn the whole bit and the women can take the hard-to-getmen shifts. Saturday, April 1. It's too warm. The sap busi­ ness is through. Being tight, I borrowed milk cans from John and brought 25 gallon near-syrup home. It was not as near as I tliought. I brought the hy­ drometers and the filters too. It took me all day but I made 6 gallons. I need my head examined. Let me see, 6 times 7 equals 42 dollars that is gen­ erally thrown away. My house is sticky. I hate to get the electric buL My husband will probably blow his suck. Sunday, April 2. We were open on Sunday. I had a sore ankle and suyed home. Helen and Ben help­ ed Jim sell syrup. Monday, April 3. Deposited $366. 25. Toul on hand $2,156. 24. Back on band after dinner. Jim in­ sists he can boil oft the rest of the half syrup now that we have 4 shutoffs. When I got there he had shut oft the back pans and drawn off all the syrup or half-syrup from the front pans into pails to be put in the back pans as it boiled down. He filled the front pans with water. We boiled for 3 hours. It's getting to sheet off in 3 pans and about 10 minutes before it will be ready in the boil-off pan. Whoa. We turn off burners--draw off into pails all from the ba c k pans leaving center pan shut off. We open opposite shutoffs and run to water into back pans also now. Now we start boiling again. We pour the sticky stuff aallom Let's see. even if it is slightly dark, 8 times 1 equals $56. 00 which is generally thrown a­ way. I thought I was tight, but I now really know a Scotch Irishman. It is dark, but it tastes good. Tuesday. April 4. Got some syrup for two people. Lawrence, my husband has been so helpful through this service to out community. 1 have tried to see that he has had good meals and everything, but he had to get them sometimes when Shelley wasn't home. He would be down here also, but the steam does bad things to his sinus. He went down to our daughter, Sandra's home for Easter. It's the first time our whole family hasn't been together. Far­ mers are mostly 'paid off in syrup. We boil f o r them for half. Tney take their payment in syrup. We also charge five cents each rent for pails. You have to be a mathematician to figure all this busi­ ness up. We are not sure whether we will pay the Boy Scouts $1. 50 as was done in the past as far as we can find out or $1. 60. It's according to how we come out. Wednesday. April 5. Jim and some helpers built a cover for the gas meter. Saved about $60 by doing it himself. He used his own scrap lumber for most of it. We concluded to give away the old wood in back and when finances permitted, we would en­ close the back. Then it could serve for a storage place so the pails etc., would not have to be put up in the attic. I deposited $55. 00. Total $2,175. 69. The stores which are Kelley . Douse and the South End, as well as the bank, just bring in money when they have it, as well as that taken in at the bank, so mat is why my figures won't balance, but we will all come our right in the end. I hope the people who were not worked in so they could work, are not hurt. It is so hard to work their schedule with ours. Cooperation has been very good. Next year, now ' that we are used to the gas burners, we should e n courage the person in charge of taking off the syrup to have his helper take off a couple of times too, so that we can have a lot of syrup masters. April 9. Mrs. Shafer brought 60 students, 4 teach­ ers and one room mother to visit us. We served syr­ up, explained it all to them, boiled water so they would understand the process. They were lovely children. Helen came down and helped me. Speak­ ing of giving, we have given to Jim 4 gallons f o r the Mayor Exchange and 1 1/2 gallons to Earl for the Boy Scout Banquet. They are also giving me what would be equivalent to a gallon of syrup a day, when we'boiled. Which was 14 times. About 10 hours a day. The rest of my time was donated. A­ bout 70 to 90 hours were donated. This gift to me amounted to about 70£ per hour. May 3. Wehave been doing sundry things. We had a meeting tonight. We voted to give me Boy Scouts and Firemen each $238. 30 for the sap they brought in. That is $1. 60 per gallon. They will re­ ceive money from the work chart also. They will be paid next week. We are coming out very well for such a short season. We have tried to run this like a good business. It has helped to have Frank in the Bank to help us. Total now $2,479. 69. The Fu­ ture Homemakers made $104. 00 selling candy. Our gas bill was $247. 71. We are giving a bit of syrup to the workers for a thank you. I hope someone will volunteer to take my office next year as it badly needs a coordinator as I have tried to be.

C, C. Gibson and George Vogt at the Chamber of Commerce meeting. In 1909, the Rev. Gibson was pastor of the Nash­ ville Evangelical church. In 1912 he was returned to Detroit, and served the Waterman church for seven years. They built a new church, but the next day, Mr. Gibson was transferred to Flint, so didn't give a sermon from the new church. He served in Flint three years, and was sent back to Detroit, where he stayed four more years. He was a presiding elder in the Detroit district for eight years, and financial secretary-treasurer of the De­ troit Conference for five years. He served fifteen years at a Mission church on the East side of Detroit, where a new church was built. In 1965 Rev. and Mrs. Gibson moved back to Nash­ ville, and campaigned to build a new addition to the Evangelical United Brethren Church. In 1957 he retired, but very frequently gives the message on Sunday at both the North and South Maple Grove churches, and give his 10th Mothers Day sermon this He was in the ministry for sixty years, and retired at age 72. He has married couples of the second and third generation over his long span of service. Rev. Gibson was a member of the Chamber of Commerce for three years in Nashville. He was on the State Council of Churches, later on the Board of Directors, secretary of a special committee which formulated the Michigan Council of Churches and Christian Education, organized in Detroit. George Vogt is a Past Master in the Masonic Lodge, a member of the Laurel Chapter of the Eastern Star, #31, treasurer of the Evangelical United Brethren church, and teaches the Home Builders Class in Sun­ day school. He is also third vice-president of the Barry County OES. Commander William Root congratulates George Vogt and Rev. C. C. Gibson, after naming them as Nasnville's outstanding Citizens of the Year. He is serving his second year as president of the Chamber of Commerce, is a past president of the Lions Club and was on the committee who worked on the zoning ordinance in Nashville. Before coming to Nashville in 1958, George was township clerk for sixteen years and village clerk for two years in Dansville. He was acting Postmaster for ten months. He is a 1941 graduate of Wayne State University in the school of Mortuary. The visiting Mayor and his wife, Mr. and Mrs. Kenneth Fry, were treated so a ride in the Model T fire truck during their visit here Monday. The Rev. James Varner, Mr. and Mrs. Al Smith, and BUI Helse], driver, are shown with the visitors. --News Photo �BACKSTREET BAROMETER CONGRATULATIONS DEPARTMENT Congratulations are in order to a whole bunch o f people around our town. In the first place we should all congratulate Duane Mishler on the opening of his new appliance repair business. We all wish him a great big bunch a success. Duane has shown us that he has faith in the growth of our village. Welcome aboard, Duam_ Much success. Congratulations are in order also to the Rev. C. G Gibson and to George Vogt They were both honor­ ed by the VFW, who voted them the outstanding citizens of 1966 and presented them with awards. The awards were to be presented at the Chamber meeting a month ago. Everyone was set for itt and' , just at the last minute, just before they annou announced the award winners, George got an ambulance call and took off. In view of the fact that one of the recipients was not there, the VFW decided on the spot to put off the presentation until the next meeting. So they told everyone at the meeting, including Mr. Gibson, to keep quiet and not tell George. This has got to be the best kept secret in town. Everyone knew for a month that George was to get the award, but no one told him. It came as a com­ plete surprise to him. Gladys Richardson even got the picture in advance by telling George that the VFW wanted him to pre­ sent the award to Mr. Gibson. When the picture was taken George thought he was contratulating Mr. Gib­ son. Really they were congratulating each other. Mr. Gibson knew the true circumstances but the Reverand gentleman went along with the deception, probably on the grounds that not everyone should know everything at all times. Congratulations to both gentlemen... They both deserve the* honor. Jim Erwin and the street crew have made Central Park a thing of beauty. They have planted shrubs (purchased with money from the civic improvement fund) and have done a lot of work and provided a lot of crushed stone to dress the place up.

" The store windows in Nashville were all dressed up for Mayor Exchange Day and Michigan Week. The Far'Uy Store, whicn always had a nice win­ dow, has a particularly good one this week. They have a display of books for children with a bunch of things that tie in with them, using the theme "The Old Days and New Books". A part of the display includes three pictures by Eunice Priddy. As I uy, the Family Store always has a nice win­ dow. I don't think people realize now much time goes into the planning and the actual work of decor­ ating a window such as they do. The ladies of the Garden Club decorated the win­ dow of the old Teener building. That makes an emp­ ty store look a lot better than just a bare window. Rev. Gibson has a display of rocks in the window of the Douse Drug store and Juanita Wilson has fixed up a display of baby clothes in the window of the Baby Bliss building. All of this makes our town look that much better to the visitors. Douse Drug Store (C.

Mooce, Jr. of Nashville, has been a­ warded a certificate after attending a sales and service school of the Hudson Profi-Matic Division held at Frankenmuth. Michigan. The main sub­ ject was how automatic systems for feeding and watering stock reduce hand labor and increase a farmer's efficiency. Among the new farm equipment shown at the school was the Profi-Matic cattle feeding system. This system automatically conveys feed from a silo or bulk bin and automatically distributes it in to feed bunks at the rate of 24 feet a minute. It will distribute feed to 300 cattle in about 13 min­ utes. Feed stays in the same proportion from one end of the system to the other. Low power re­ quirements are said to be another important fea ture of this system.’ Other equipment shown and demonstrated in­ cluded dairy barn equipment; equipment for the farrowing, feeding and finishing of hogs; electric ventilation equipment.

Mrs. Bigelow has gathered much wisdom and prac­ tical knowhow in her yean of living and learning about families, and she feels that teaching ano counselling in this field is her way of contribution. She works with groups in churches and community, and much of her time is centered around the Fam­ ily Life House of the Portage Human Concerns Council. She is able to give insights about learning how to live in a family, but her teaching is not aimed at information-giving, but at growth or change on one point at a time. There is no one set pattern today for families to follow. Above all, people going into a marriage need adaptability and openness of mind. They should be people who are not easily shaken by change, who are mature, that is: able to make their own decisions and to live with the results. She also emphasized that people and relationships al­ ways- come ahead of any piece of behavior. Mrs. Bigelow's warmth, good humor, and wise in­ sights brought a great deal of appreciative response in personal comments to her from her audience.

Latest research has shown how sow feed costs can be cut by limiting the feed. The key is to limit the energy intake but not the vital nutrition. With past feeding practices, this has been difficult to do. The problem is being sure that every sow gets her fair share of the proteins, vitamins and minerals needed to build large litters of pigs with vitality.

The 65 students of the upper classes in the Maple Valley high school have been actually "baby sitting" with some 40 pre-school children who have been at­ tending the two-hour sessions held both mornings and afternoons. Both the students and the "small fry" are thoroughly enjoying the experience. Some of the students Have younger brothers or sisters at home they have cared for, but many have not. But they all admit they meet some "problems" not covered by the textbooks. Mrs. Olith Hamilton, class advisor says it's no problem at all to attract the small children to attend the sessions. In fact, for a few of the pre-schoolers it is their second year attending such classes. During the two hour baby-sitting sessions, the stu­ dents prepare a snack for the tiny tots. They play games, read stories, and even occasionally referee a dispute when the occasion arises. The students find it is also necessary to watch the door, so none of their "charges" can duck out to tour the building In one picture, the little tots are shown washing up--it’s lunch time. The high school students are Charles Dies, Jim Spicer, Judy Richter and Darlene Lind, and the pre-schoolers are Cindy Murphy and Sandy Downing. —Photo by Gladys Richardson Jackson Duraclean Specialist Owner and Operated by EUGENE & DONNA SPIDEL Shown with the toys on the floor; The high school students are Jim Spicer and Dave Stairs, and the lit­ tle kids are Richie Elliston, Colleen Gibbs, Charlie Rinehart and Terry Pierce. --Photo by Gladys Richardson Kalama Village Ordinance regulates burning MRS.

Out for a ride in your car you munch on a candy bat or finish up a pack of cigarettes or maybe you take care of kid's leaky nose with a tissue. Sowhat do you do with the paper debris? Throw is in the waste basket. "The what?" you ask. Well, maybe you one of those people who didn't have the foresight to put one of those little litter buckets astride of that floor hump in front And maybe you didn't think to hang a plastic litter-bag on one of the door handles or to bring along a pa­ per sack to stuff under the seat Okay, let's try another one. What did you do when you finished smoking that lung cancer stick? "Tliat’s easy, " you answer. "I ground it out in one of the car ash trays. Wouldn't want to start a fire by tossing it out the car window. Credit for putting ash trays in all automobiles as standard equipment has to be given to a character known as Smokey Bear who made our entire nation fire-conscious. No auto manufacturer would have §one to the extra expense to include ash trays . i f le public hadn't demanded it first. Maybe the time has come to begin demanding waste baskets in can, too, as standard equipment. It stands to reason that the motorist is going to have a certain amount of disposable trash almost every time he drives his car. Why shouldn't he have a place to put it--one that he knows is there so he can form the habit of putting trash there? We are firmly convinced that the average Amer­ ican is as proud of his car as he is of his home. Off­ hand, we can't think of anybody who makes a hab­ it of throwing trash on the floor at home; that's why we have wastebaskets. ' We are just as firmly convinced that a lack of waste baskets in can, coupled with this same neat­ ness, is what caused many motorists to toss their trash out car windows. Wnat else can they do with it, other than drop it on the floor? To do this goes against basic home habit. At best, those litter buckets are frequently kick­ ed over and litter bags have a nasty habit of tear­ ing, thus spilling train all over a car's interior. Automobile manufacturers are not about to in­ stall permanent, out-of-the-way but easy-to emp­ ty wastebaskets in can unless there is a strong de­ mand from the public, even though the cost would not be great. So why shouldn't we start in right now and de­ mand it? Across the United States, ONE-HALF BILLION DOLLARS is spent every year in Cleaning up trash alongside highways. Here in Michigan, $300,000 of your tax money is spent for this purpose every year. _* _• . ' Maybe you enjoy paying these "throw-away' taxes. We don't! Let's try a little experiment. Lay your hand out flat and spread your fingers a­ part. Now, imagine that someone cut off all your fingets. Your hand wouldn't be very useful, would it? We have used this to illustrate a very real prob­ lem that is happening too often all over northern Michigan. Only thing, it isn't with hands and fin ■ gers but concerns trout streams and their tributary creeks. Those tributaries are the places where trout spawn; they will also be all-important if newly-in­ troduced salmon are to spawn successfully. These are the nurseries of a highly important Michigan fishery. Michigan's water laws are, unfortunately, very lax and this has allowed dam building on these trib­ utaries at an almost uncontrolled rate. Hundreds of these watery "fingers" ate being cut off each year by dam* which are being built for one purpose or another. The main streams just cannot carry the fish-producing load alone. In addition, every time another dam is built and waters are backed up, the actual water quality un­ dergoes changes when it is eventually allowed to flow on downstream. A dam slows up the current and prevents the "flushing action" of high spring flow which scours out stream bottoms and exposes spawning gravel A slow-moving stream is a mud­ dy stream and has warmer water. A bill (S. 259) has been introduced into the Mich­ igan Legislature to provide for the issuance of per­ mits before any dam may be built on any Michigan stream. The Conservation Department would be charged with responsibility to make careful inspec­ tions of the proposed site to determine whether fish­ eries resources might be damaged by such construc­ tion. “ ’■ Realizing that landowners frequently have need for small ponds, plans would be provided which would allow by-passing of pan of the water into a pond on one side, while keeping the main stream how uninterrupted. Thus, both landowners and fishermen would get a break. The State Soil Conservation Committee and the State Department of Agriculture both aided the -------- “------------- “ bm.

Now for the first time it's easy, practical and economi• cal to apply new scientific feeding information to the brood sow herd. The Perfect Gift Latest research has shown how sow feed costs can be cut by limiting the feed. The key is to limit the energy intake but not the vital nutrition. With past feeding practices, this has been difficult to do. The problem is being sure that every sow gets her fair share of the proteins, vitamins and minerals needed to build large litters of pigs with vitality. The Wayne Sow Blox program assures all sows of their daily needs without producing unwanted fat and high feed cost. Blox . .. and a mighty big 3 pounds. It furnishes an abundance of proteins, vitamins, and minerals . . . enough to moot the most critical daily needs of a CITIZENS ELEVATOR CO. AT VERMONTVILLE OR NASHVILLE for Your Graduate!

The mark of a good camper is to leave a camp clean. Tin cans, paper, bottles and other trash just don't belong in the kind of place where most folks like to camp. They should not be left to clutter up the area when you break camp. There's sort of a two-way street involved here. The fellow who leaves his camp site clean sets an exam­ ple for the next camper. And even though the two never meet, the outgoing camper will unknowingly win the respect of the incomer. Michigan is endowed with a number of beautiful camping areas and every effort is made to keep them beautiful. This cannot be an exclusive job for the state or federal group usually in charge. The respon­ sibility must be shared by every person who uses these areas. These are for the public's enjoyment—to give everyone who wants to, and can take advantage of them, the opportunity to spend a few days and nights in the open away from the busy bustle of day-to-day living. Treat these areas as though they belonged to you—for that is exactly what they do. Even though a sute of federal agency may handle the upkeep, you pay the bill in one way or another. Treat the area you camp in as if it were your own front yard at home. Leave it as clean as you found it--cleaner if possible. Put your tin cans and other cast-offs in one place. Whenyou are ready to break camp, throw everything but glass into the fire. Paper and food remnants will burn. Even the cans will lose their rust-proof tin and their labels. When the cans cool off, mash them flat and bury them unleas a trash container is available. In this case, use the container. Don't dump your trash down outdoor toilets, either. Whatever you do, please don't throw your excess tin cans, bottles, garbage and other trash into that pretty little stream or lake. And don't pitch it back into the bushes. In either case, it will show up later on when another camper finds it. Spare the trees and wild flowers near your camp site. The other fellow who will follow you will enjoy these as much as you did if you leave them inuct Wild flowers are usually very difficult to transplant and will likely die before you could get them home, anyhow. Let them thrive in their own habitat. Above all, watch your fire! Soak your campfire thoroughly with water when leaving the area, then check it again for that final, faint ember. By thinking of the other fellow you will actually enjoy your camping trip more. -Doing unto others a s you would have them do unto you is more than a cas­ ual motto. . , Production levels raised A report of milk production levels attained b y dairy cows in area herds has been received from Holstein-Friesian Association of America. The ac­ tual food productipn output, under official testing rules, by these local Registered Holsteiiis is: Hulong Baron Sadie 4685510, a seven-year-old, produced 22,510 lbs. of milk and 868 lbs. of but­ terfat in 365 days. Hulong Baron Sue Goldie, 551094, a four-year-old, had 16,480 lbs. of milk and 802 lbs. of butterfat in 365 days. Hulong Sen­ sation B. Bonnie 5766050, a two-year-old, had 18,440 lbs. of milk and 711 lbs. of butterfat in 365 days. Hulong Pontiac Kate 5681151, a threeyear-old, had 17, 350 lbs. of milk and 649 lbs. of butterfat in 305 days. Hulong Baron Jean 4685505, a nine-year-old, had 17, 550 lbs. of milk and 764 lbs. of butterfat in 302 days. All are owned by Hubert Long, Woodland. These new production figures may be compared to the estimated annual output of 8, 513 lbs. of milk and 315 lbs. of butterfat by the average US dairy cow, notes the national Holstein Association. Michigan State University supervised the samp­ ling, weighing and testing operations in coopera­ tion with the Holstein organization's herd and breed improvement programs. Inquiries received about combined Art Group 4 A number of requests for information have come to the News Office in regard to the formation of a combined community art group between Nashville and Vermontville. There seems to be enough inter­ est along this line to think seriously about the for­ mation of a Maple Valley Art Group. Last fall an art class was offered in Vermontville on Wednesday evenings, through the Olivet College Continuing Education series. Residents of both com­ munities were enrolled in the class. The class held last vear at the Maple Valley High School also had residents from both communities attending. , Vermontville does not have an organized art group and although Nashville had had one for many yean, it is no longer an active organization. If there was enough interest in forming a combined art group, it would include all areas of interest, from those who paint, want classes and those who are interested in crafts and hobbies and also those who desire lectures along these interest levels in painting, drawing, sculpture or ceramics, etc. Certainly, the first step in continuing along these lines of endeavor, is the formation of a group of in­ terested persons. To aid this, those interested are asked to fill in the accompaning coupon and return it to the News office in Nashville. If there was e­ nough response, a meeting could be arranged and plans formulated for the organization of such a group.

Sam, an excellent driver, has not had the chance to show what he could do on the big track. Once in the big race he just might show the others out there a lot of the back end of his car. For two yean, though, the can he was going to drive just were not ready to go out on the track. Last year, before Sam could really get to drive the car, the clutch went on the fritz and it could not be repaired in time to get it out to qualify. Thu year Sam had a real unusual car. It was a beautiful California job with front-wheel drive and all four wheels steered. Again though, he ran into trouble. Before Sam ever got to drive the car on the Indy track it developed trouble and it never was put in shape for the qualifying run. This must be the toughest kind of defeat for Sam. Had he got into the race and been beaten by the rest of the field he would at least have had a chance. Sam can accept defeat. From talking to him I know that if he loses a race after he has given his very best, he can accept the fact philosophically with the remark that there is always another race coming up. Sam has won a lot of races in his day but he nas lost some too and he knows that you don't win every day. It must be tough for him though to accept defeat without ever getting on the track. I was in the garage the first day of qualifying and talked to Sam. At that time he still had hopes of getting out with the car. The mechanics were working on it and asking Sam's advice on just how somethin should be done. pictures down there--Sam just lookI took rese ,. ing at the workings of the car and one of the meclianics talking to Sam about some adjustment he was making. ” -• ------ » There isWalways another year, and perhaps then Sam will get into the big race. News /tn Editorial Few of us know much about the other fellow's business and most of us as­ sume the other fellow knows all about ours. Most of us look at the man across the street qrtdowq the block and think that he really has it made. He does not work vew hard and he is getting rich. ■, Most people know nothing about the working of a newspaper. They read the paper and enjoy it and that is really all they care. This u not good or bad -­ it is just a fact of life. Many of the folks who read the paper do not know. the.difference between an ad and news. Often people call up with what they describe as an ad, but which is really a news story. Sometimes they call up with a news story that is an ad. Again, this is not good or bad. We do not expect others to be ex­ perts in the terminology of a newspaper. The person who runs the newspaper though, must know the difference be­ tween news and ads. The news is there because the ads are there. In other words, the news is being paid for by those who advertise. It is just like tele­ vision. The news is the program, the ads are the commercials. You are able to read the local news because the folks who are advertising are providing this news for you. An incident occurred this week and we feel our position in the matter should be made clear. An advertisement was entered in our newspaper by an organization. When the statement for payment was given, a portion of the amount was paid and the comment was made about the balance, "Thank you for your donation. " We returned the original bill stating we felt the entire amount should be prop­ erly paid. K We are a community service; however, we are a business and as such must operate as a business. We charge for advertising. It is the only thing in our newspaper for which we charge. We gladly give space to nubiicity, attempt to do what we can in picture coverage, but we chargwfor advertising.

A number of requests for information have come to the News Office in regard to the formation of a combined community art group between Nashville and Vermontville. There seems to be enough inter­ est along this line to think seriously about the for­ mation of a Maple Valley Art Group. Last fall an art class was offered in Vermontville on Wednesday evenings, through the Olivet College Continuing Education teries. Residents of both com­ munities were enrolled in the class. The class held last year at the Maple Valley High School also had residents from both communities attending. Vermontville does not have an organized art group and although Nashville had had one for many years, it is no longer an active organization. If there was enough interest in forming a combined art group, it would include all areas of interest, from those who paint, want classes and those who are interested in crafts and bobbies and also those who desire lectures along these interest levels in painting, drawing, sculpture or ceramics, etc. Certainly, the first step in cont.nuing along these lines of endeavor, is the formation of a group of in­ terested persons. To aid this, those interested are asked to fill in the accompaning coupon and return it to the News office in Nashville. If there was e­ nough response, a meeting could be arranged and plans formulated for the organization of such a group. 1 Name ____________ Address Interested in formation of a Maple Valley Would help on art show THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1967 no �HHAFT BlADtCU’ ^icrt.

BY BETTY CURREN A really up-to-date picnic menu can be as interesting and nourishing as a meal served at home.. Chilled fresh fruit and crisp green vegetables, as well as hot foods, may appear on the picnic table along with the traditional sandwiches, potato salad and pickles — even though the food isn’t served for hours after it is prepared. Proper packing is the secret. Vegetables such as celery, carrots, and crisp freshly-washed lettuce will keep fresh in plastic bags. Kept on ice, they retain their crispness still better. Deviled eggs, sliced meat, chicken salad — in fact, any protein food, in sandwiches or packed separately — which should be kept cold, not merely cool, can be added safely to the picnic meal, if kept on ice until time to eat. For the iced food, insulated containers, which can be bought in various shapes and sizes, help solve the refrigerating problem. However, picnic foods can be kept cold success­ fully without special equipment. A kettle, for example, or other cooking vessel with a lid, makes an effective picnic "ice chest”. Select one large enough to accommodate all the foods which must be kept chilled. Cover the bottom thickly with crushed ice. Then place the food, in plastic bags or glass jars, in the vessel and pack with more crushed ice. Wrap thick layers of paper or towels around the kettle to act as an insulator. Now that you have everything packed properly and ready to go, what are we waiting for?

Amanas are located in east­ central Iowa in some of the best farm land in the nation. Amanas are still basically an agricultural settlement, although industries have helped the villages attain a new height o^ prosperity. The modern appearance of Amana Refrigeration Plant con­ trasts with older homes. Amana today is a delightful blend of the old and new. iowa's quaint amana villages BY WILLIAM C. NELSON mana, Iowa — Three decades ago, an air of gloom hung over the seven villages comprising the Amana A Colonies. The communal society had slipped to the brink of bankruptcy; and the financial muddle was bad­ ly compounded by the depression. Today, the 2,500 descendants of the German crafts­ men who started this quaint Ijttle community on the Iowa prairie live comfortably in an aura of prosperity. Row upon row of shiny, late-model, cars are parked outside the Amana Refrigeration plant in Middle Amana. The steady hum of a factory turning out its wares at near capacity pierces the stillness of the quiet country. ARTHRITIS Hem write for nr free iofenmtiM GOOD BRANDS are BETTER VALUES Frui^' You can’t go wro for a penny a In another village (Amana), the clackety-clack of weaving machines at the Amana Woolen plant is almost deafening to the tender ears of an outsider. In­ side, women working busily over the looms scarcely notice the din. At the Amana Furniture factory, skilled workers labor painstakingly over walnut and cherry wood, turning out beautifully fashioned furniture. On the farms surrounding the villages, Amana farmers watch over herds of well-fed beef cattle and hogs. What brought about the 180 degree financial turnabout? It began in 1932 when, with heavy heart, villagers voted to abandon religi­ ous communism. A modified capitalism was adopted, and it immediate!^* pumped new life into the mainstream of Amana life. Each adult in the community received one share of common stock in a joint stock corporation, which included all the Amana industries. Additional shares of non-voting stock were issued in proportion to a person’s years of service in the society. Products of the Amana Society were sent out into the competitive markets. The shares of voting stock, worth only $50 apiece in 1932, skyrocketed in value as Amana businesses prospered. Today, they’re worth more than $3,500 each. The change is doubly impressive in view of the fact that few “utopian" so­ cieties, such as Amana professed to be, possessed the qualities of adaptabil­ ity and flexibility. It is a remarkable change from the 75-year era when Amana wanted little to do with the outside world. Then, everything was provided for the Amana people. The community assumed all their cares and responsibilities—medical and dental care, schooling, funerals, clothing, food, shelter. Villagers dressed alike (in somber clothes), worked alike, ate in communal kitchens in each village, and worshipped God alike. Sensual frivolities of the outside world were frowned upon. Jewelry was forbidden; as was music, poe­ try, dancing or any of the arts which did not relate directly to the Bible. The drab existence, though, was not unpleasant, at least not to the older generations. There was little bitterness or selfishness. There was no want or loneliness._Amanites enjoyed the comradeship resulting from daily prayer meetings and eating dormitory style in communal dining rooms. But, as is so often the case under communism, lack of incentive began to affect the quality of work. The younger generation (caustically referred to as the ‘drones’ by some older men) began to slide away from Old Order ideas, and did not want to ignore the exciting, dynamic ways of the outside world. The automobile and radio brought increased exposure to a faster-paced life. Then came the depression and the need to join a nation evolving around capitalism, competition and rugged individualism. * When Amana changed its way, it went about the job with a flourish. New techniques were integrated into every industry. Today, Amana, High Amana, Middle Amana, East Amana, West Amana, South Amana and Homestead are a primary Iowa attraction on the newly creat­ ed Hiawatha Pioneer trail for tourists. Each of the villages, situated “one hour apart by oxen”, radiates a quiet prosperity. Their crooked streets are lined with neat lawns, small vegetable gardens and somber, well-kept two-story homes of brick and stone. But the Amana of the 1960’s is a blend of the old and the new. A startling contrast to the older homes, for example, is in the village of Amana where expensive split-level homes dot the south section of town. The homes belong to Amana men who fought in the wars and were given the land upon their return. Despite its swing to contemporary life and tourist promotion, Amana still retains many of its cherished traditions. Religion and industriousness remain* the guideposts of Amana life. German is still spoken by elder Amanites and the language is taught in schools. . Amana residents have few regrets that 33 years ago they relinquished the distinction of being the oldest and most successful communal society in the �2.

With EASTMAN Baler Twine, farmers report tying many extra bales of hay after switching from nat­ ural fiber twines. There’s no doubt—you always get more than 9,000 feet of uniform twine, bale after bale. And there are no thick or thin sections to break or foul baler knotters. Means every foot of Eastman twine is usable. Added advantages: ideal for outdoor hay stor­ age; resistant to rot, insects, and weather; tough yet soft and flexible; has outstanding knot strength.

Since then the officials have been considering"h building code, which in essence is. nec­ essary to cany out the fundamentals of, a zoning ordi­ nance. The council Wednesday evening further dis­ cussed the maner and in all probability will pass on a suitable building code at their next meeting on Thurs­ day, June 22. The council met Wednesday in order not to conflict with commencement activities on Thursday evening. In other business the council voted unanimously to support the recommendations of the Maple Grove-Cas­ tleton township fire board which will go into effect July 1. The pav scale for firemen answering calls was raised from $3'to $5 for the first hour and $1 per hour thereafter until the firemen return to the fire station. The firemen are to receive $5 each for attending specail practice sessions, apt to exceed three sessions per year, and $5 will be paid the fire department treasury for each inhalator run made. The department has not been reimbursed in any manner for these runs in the past. The fire board did nothing with the wage scale for fire officials, but it is expected this will be up for consideration next year. 1 The Woman's Literary club is willing to purchase two new "Maple Valley SchooT'street signs giving di­ rections to the high school located on Vermontville highway. Because these signs are to be erected on M­ 66, approval must be secured through the local county Michigan Highway department with headquarters in Hastings. The two signs, 3 by 4 feet will be aluminum reflectorized with five-inch lettering. Police Chief Robert Parker asked, and received, per­ mission to attend the Michigan Association of Chiefs of Police meetings to be held at the Jack Tar hotel in Lansing later this month. On the program agenda for the police sessions will be speakerf Charlie Cullen who will talk on "Eternal Fury", and Heartsill Wilson whose speech is entitled, "Destiny Has Three Faces. " The council voted to transfer $200 from the inciden­ tal fund to set up the Building and Zoning fund. A to­ tal of $1, 500 was allowed in this year's budget for this. Donald Langham, administrator of the zoning com­ mittee was present to discuss matters concerning the board of appeals and its procedures. The board of ap­ peals is expected to meet soon to organize. In other transactions bills amounting to $2, 692. 34 were allowed. Nashville Volunteer Firemen are working on plans for their annual Homecoming celebration, for June 22, 23 and 24.

Nearly 90 years ago I was born in that loved and remembered village. I am a granddaughter of Dud­ ley Fish Bullock and a pioneer of the town. Juliette McCarty Gehman was my cousin.

Dear Mr. Cassidy: It’s my pleasure to inform you that your waste water treatment has qualified for an Award of Merit as a re­ sult of its safety record for 1966. A Certificate will be presented to you or your repre­ sentative at the annual meeting of the Michigan W a ter Pollution Control Association at Boyne Mountain, June 19-21. I hope I'll see you there and have a chance to congratulate you personally. A news release will be sent to your local newspaper in the next few weeks describing the award.

Dear John, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence West have purchased our local property; and we feel justly proud that people of their backgrounds and their accomplishments have chosen our home and our community for their future residence. Our own new home will be at 1115 West Maple Av­ enue, Adrian, Michigan; and, according to the sched­ ule, our move will begin on June 26. Had there been anomer choice, as we have dis­ cussed, we would have remained in Nashville; and, since our hearts and our home will always be open to our many friends of this area, we trust that they will remember us through letters and personal visits. In closing, we wish to extend our thanks to a com­ munity that has made our past thirteen years both a pleasant and memorable experience. The Gliddens Maple Valley News Nashville News i Vermontville Echo NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publication, Inc.' Entered at the Post Office at Nashville, Michigan Barry County, as Second Class Matter BACKSTREET BAROMETER Though we in this area really suffered very little from the storm of Sunday night, a lot of people were really quite concerned. At the time that the sky darkened and the police and fire department were going around town telling everyone to take cover, the Rev. Mr. Frost was hold­ ing services in the Church of the Nazarene. / Mr. Frost said that 65 people took shelter in /the basement of the, church. He said that many of the people were folks just driving through town when the warning was being put out. Among the people who stopped were some from Battle Creek, Manton and Kalamo. Mr. Frost said that there were many others. He didn't find out where they were all from. WBCH is to be commended for the way they han­ dled the storm emergency. According to their 1 i cense they must go off the air at sundown. Because of the emergency situation though, they stayed on the air to do what they could to aid the communi­ cations needed in such a situation. They kept in touch with the sheriff, police and some private citizens in all parts of the county and passed information they gained on to the people ' who were listening. Without WBCH we could not have had anywhere near the information we did have. Now the station must justify their staying on the air to the FCC. If you think, as I do, that they did a real service to the people of the county by stay­ ing on the air past the time they should, drop them a line telling them so. These letters will help them justify their action with the FCC. by john boughton EDITOR & PUBLISHERS John and Amy Boughton SUBSCRIPTION RATES Barry &.

Ferris State College scheduling two high school student workshops For the second year, Ferris Sure College is at­ tempting a new approach to. solving the problem of high school students who are not developing to their fullest potential In cooperation with the graphic arts industry, the college has scheduled two workshops for highschool studei ; who have finished 11th grade, but who would not be likely candidates for traditional col­ lege-level programs. The first workshop is June 19-24; the second, June 25-30. Approximately 60 students and faculty mem­ bers will attend each week. In non-traditional learning situations, the groups will be exposed to different kinds of typing ma­ chines, spirit and mimeo duplicators, an work and layout, camera techniques, offset printing, and business management, facets of a post-high school instructional program which is included in the spec­ ial programs offered by Ferris State College. The participants have been selected by their own school authorities because although they are of at least average intelligence, they have shown a lack of interest in the traditional school setting, and they have not yet been motivated to attempt col­ iege. The work conferences are designed to acquaint them with opportunities in the graphic arts field, which has become the firth largest industry in the United States. While the students are spending at least six hours a day learning about different aspects of graphic arts, teachers and counselors from the sameschook will be busy on campus obtaining new knowledge On June Sth, Mr. and Mrs. Hollis McIntyre help­ ed their granddaughter, Lynn Ann, celebrate hei 7th birthday at Ann Arbor.

To encourage participation in the program, stu­ dents and teachers ate granted scholarships financed by funds available to participating school districts through Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Ed­ ucation Act. • The graphic arts industry makes available ma­ chines and operating supplies and furnishes techni­ cians to maintain the equipment and to assist the students in learning to operate it.

MICHIGAN, THURSDAY. JUNE 15, 1967 �South Maple Grove Church plans 80th anniversary The Reverend e. F. Rhoades, who resides here at 210 E. Sherman St,, and his congregation at the South Maple Grove Evangelical United Brethren church located 3 miles west of M-66 on the Dowling road are planning several events this summer to com­ memorate the 80th anniversary of the establishment of a church in this area. About six years ago, the church proposed to build an addition to the church which would house Sunday school rooms; provide a dining hall and kitchen in the basement and allow extra seating space for ser­ vices, Reverend Rhoades, who is officially a retired minister, and Mr. Errett Skidmore of Route 2, Nash­ ville, headed up the construction work.

Rev­ erend Lawrence Taylor, conference superintendent of Western Michigan district, will be present at the morning worship service at 11 o'clock. The congregation of the North Maple Grove church of whom Reverend Rhoades is also the pastor, will join in the worship service for this occasion.

It is always a lot of fun to get out on the street and meet people you haven't seen in years. Not only that, but it helps the firemen out and what helps them helps the entire community. The pro­ ceeds from the affair all go to buy equipment for the fire department. . So by attending the Harvest Festival you not on­ ly do yourself a favor, but you help the firemen and the entire town. As in the past, they are going to have rides for the kids (young ones and old ones too). They will have entertainment, fireworks, an ox roast and a hobby show.

Mr. Scramlin made arrangements for Mr. Ron Bosrock of the Trust Department of Security National Bank, to speak to the group. His talk was in regard to wills and trusts, etc., and proved to be very thought-provoking. Mr. Bosrock stated that in 1865, 60% of the persons who died did not have a will prepared to state what they wished to have done with their estates. In cases like this, the state of Michigan decides that the es­ tate should be divided in this manner: 1/3 goes to the surviving wife and the other 2/3 is divided e­ qually by the children. He also explained that a will is simply a state­ ment of your desires in regard to your property. It should be a legal document, must be signed by the person, and witnessed by two persons. It must also name an executor to take care of the estate. When one is considering making a will, things to avoid include: do not make it yourself; when changes are made, have a lawyer do it; and do not mention sums of money--use percentages instead. Mr. Bosrock said one should also keep his will up to date and upon moving to a new state, check to see if rules have changed which would affect the validity of the will. He was in the Nashville branch office of the Se­ curity National Bank on Friday morning and many interested persons visited with him at that time.

IW �faae 22-94, "'by Ob MUCC will bold its 30th Annual Convention at Manistee and items on its agenda wiU center around resource problems touching the lives of every man. woman and child in Michigan. Questions of clean air and waters, greater re­ creational opportunities, the litter menace and die increase of federal pressures on our natural resour­ ces are but a few of the "big ones" which will come under discussion. Not that these are new. They're not. MUCC has. been fighting these battles for most of the past three decades--far longer than any of the many, moneyed private and government-sponsored groups which have only recently bopped onto the outdoor bandwagon. CUIUS The people of Michigan have had many narrow escapes from individuals and groups who would like to exploit our natural resources for their own pertonal benefit. Who can ever forget the bitter battles that raged over attempts to give portions of lovely Porcupine Mountain Stare Park to the lumber and mining in­ terests? Nor can we forget the bate-face attempts by some members of both political parties, at one time or another, to throw natural resource manage­ ment back into the political patronage system. In the midst of these and many other epic strugfles revolving around our state and national out­ door resources, one willing champion of all the people's rights has been there--Michigan United Conservation Clubs. MUCC has been carrying on this role for 30 years now and it shows no sign of slackening its pace. In­ deed, if anything, -it u showing a remarkable ma­ turity as it gives less attention now to questions like; "Is a 7-inch size limit for trout too small?" and devotes an increasing amount of time to giant­ size resource problems.

The award was presented by the Michigan Water Pollution Control Association at the association's annual meeting June 19 through 21 at Boyne Falls, Michigan. The Award of Merit is given in recognition of two consecutive years of work without a lost-time injury. Nashville is among 152 plants throughout Michi­ gan which are participating in an annual safety sur­ vey and program designed to reduce hazards and in­ crease safe working conditions for waste treatment control personnel. The program has been in effect for the past three years. In 1966 the participating plants reported 28. 5 Injuries for every million man­ hours of work, a marked improvement over the pre­ vious year's record of 40.1 injuries per million man­ hours worked. ■ You can't find a mote democratic organization then MUCC, either. Made up of some 65,000 in­ dividuals who bcicug :<■ close to 400 clubs who are affiliated or associated with MUCC, it is truly Michigan's only .tate-wiue conservation organiza­ tion. Groups within MUCC represent not only hunters and fishermen but farm groups, organized labor, educators, bird-watchers and many others with an appreciation for the outdoors and conservation of our natural resources. MUCC is also set up to work just like a sort of "Conservation Congress”, which not only urges each member of an affiliated club to bring worth-while problems and solutions to the very top, but acts as a reservoir of responsible strength when conserva­ tion battles must be fought. This effectiveness is a matter of record. The easiest way to understand the workings of > this highly, respected organization, of course, would be to attend the Manistee convention. Guests are always welcome. There, delegates elected from* each member club will help chart the course of con­ servation for their membership.

' Who can possibly argue with a philosophy like Open&ttet Dear Friends, . When pain arises it is not unusual to try to ease it by taking drugs or tran­ quilizers. The death of a loved qne is painful to survivors, but by taking tranquili­ zers, we only postpone the facing of our grief and interfere with the natural expression of anguish at the loss of a loved one, thus delaying the read­ justment that must be made.

In the next 20 years they nearly eliminated the state's vast schools of lake trout. Other species of fish were affected so drastically that commercial fishing on the Great Lakes was seriously impaired. The reduction of lake trout and other fish eating predators permitted astronomical rise of the a le wife, an almost useless fish about the size of a her­ ring. The alewife creates a serious problem in die-offs along beaches, clogged water intakes, and as a depressant to more desirable species of fish. A lamprey poison was discovered in the late 1950's. Used extensively since then, it now appears that the control of lampreys and the rehabilitation of the lake trout is assured. Control of the alewife should be accomplished by the introduction of an entirely new sport fish to Michigan's waters. Different species of salmon ate raised in government hatcheries and released in the Great Lakes with surprising success. If early results are indications of future achievements, the salmon should find alewife tasty meals upon which to mul­ tiply... Some 850, 000 coho smoltt (Pacific salmon) were released in three Michigan streams early in 1966. Coho began showing up in commercial hets within three months, first a few and then substantial num­ bers of fat silvery coho ranging from 12 inches to seven pounds. By September about 2,000 had been caught by Michigan anglers. More coho smolts from Oregon, Washington and Alaska will be planted in Michigan streams this year and next. Up to one million Washington chi­ nook salmon will also be released If chinook uke to Great Lakes living as well as the coho Michigan fishermen are in for a pleasant surprise, and the alewife problem will come under nature's law of survival. The Fish Division of the Michigan Department of has plans for introducing and expandof other commercial game fish to waters in the near future. A brook trout­ hybrid called splake is being reared for introduction in 1970. Expansion of coaster brook trout is underway. Summer steelhead and Atlantic salmon will be reared and released in Michigan as Voters in Michigan wiH be THE MAPLE Wildlife authorities in Michigan and many other a states are pondering over the rather steady decline ; in pheasant numbers. I To date, most research has centered upon the | possible effects of insecticides, such as DDT, which may prevent the formation of fertile eggs. The "clean farming" theory has also been advanced to show that few pheasants can survive on bitt, heavily cultivated farms. So far, no positive ans­ wer has emerged from Michigan research. It is quite possible that Ohio came up with the answer ten years ago. We recently ran across an account of a mysterious pheasant die-off among Ohio's pen-reared birds. It was in the spring of 1957 and pheasant-rearing pens where birds were placed to strengthen their flight, has been prepared. Planted with cover crops, the ground had been heavily fertilized with 12-12 12 granules. Rainfall that year in that area was only half of normal, and the fertilizer failed to dissolve as it was supposed to do. Instead, the granules tended to settle down just under the surface of the ground. As pheasants were released into the flight pens, the weather turned hot. The birds, which had been . scratching the ground the pecking then drank abnor­ mally large quantities of water. Soon they began to show signs of paralysis and died by the hundreds. Puzzled authorities, checking for disease and other causes, continued to put new birds into the pens and they, too, died Eventually, they came to the conclusion that the birds were being killed by nitrate poisoning as a result of swallowing the granules of commercial fertilizer. Birds released into unfertilized ■ ■ continued in a healthy state, regardless of tugu temperatures and drouth conditions. During 1961-65 we happened to be living (and hunting) in South Dakota, one of the greatest pheasant areas in the world. The first two years we enjoyed tremendous shooting in the vast soil bank areas that produced as many as a thousand birds to a field. The last two yean, though, drouth hit South Da­ kota at the same time that much of the land was coming out of soil bank and going back into agri­ culture. The pheasants have slipped to an all-time low there since then. We happen to know that o ver 120,000 tons of commercial fertilizer was sold in South Dakota in 1965, with 80-90 percent of it the granular type. Is this coincidence? Far be ft from us to tell wildlife researchers how to do their job but to date we have heard nothing about any research into the possibility of nitrate poisoning to Michigan pheasants. Maybe a closer working relationship between states engaged in wildlife research would not only pay off in more • information but in a saving of funds for all con­ cerned. One thing is for sure--our Michigan pheasant . population is declining the same as that of other pheasant states. Pen-rearing pheasants is not the answer; South Dakota has never done ft. The ans­ wer is still waiting to be found. Or has ft already been found in Ohio? in nays not too long past, the average ."sports­ man" was a person who went hunting or fishing with a single purpose in mindE-to kill something. An increasing number of people, however, are finding they don't necessarily have to kill of part of the outdoors in order to find enjoyment there. This can hold true, even though a person m ight actually be engaged in hunting or fishing. It is likely that those who enjoy "just looking"al­ ready outnumber the combined total of hunters and fisherman. If you uke into consideration those sportsmen who are satisfied with a day spent out­ doors, even though they may fail to get either game or fish, then the just looking" group is already in the majority. Nobody has to be a rugged, he-man individual, such as the sportsman likes to portray himself, in order to enjoy what he finds outdoors. Thousands of folks, for example. ~enjoy automobile drives through the countryside with uo thought in mind other than to enjoy looking at scenery and other attractions. Wildlife close to a road is always viewed with in­ terest. The first green-up of early spring brings deer out near the roads and within easy range of amateur „ photographers or the "just lookers. " Spring also brings sharptailed grouse onto their traditional dan­ cing grounds. In areas where these birds are still found? many a nature lover is willing to get up at 3:00 a. m. to move into a blind on these grounds to watch the birds perform their fascinating mating rituals.

( Lorn Smith, living west of Sandusky, burned down this old barn on his farm and replaced it with a small but efferent shed (right) he uses io house calves and machinery. The cost was less than $3,000. Michigan State University agricultural engineers say many old, unused bams and sheds on some Michigan farms are both and “eyesore” and a fire and safety hazard. , . . , .. They also say most fanners would find it more economical to make a “planned burning of old buildings rather than trying to remodel them. The ‘planned burning” should he done when there is no wind, a low grass fire hazard, and some­ one is around to keep the fire from spreading. The local fire department should be alerted and may want to stand by. - / Smith, a part-time fanner, who feeds oat dairy calves for beef production, hooked a tractor into a couple of corners of the old dilapidated barn to break it down for better burning. He said some other old structures on the farm would also probably be replaced after they were burn­ ed or tom down.

This shook my friend up more than somewhat. Then, when be was on his way back on Sunday, all of a sudden a car came at him going north on the south-bound side of the highway. This time it was a woman and my friend is sure she was stopped not too far up the road because he had seen a State Police car just a mile or so back from where he saw the woman. It is difficult to believe that anyone could get go­ ing the wrong way on one of these modem highways. They put these "Wrong Way" signs up and do every­ thing they can to mark the correct way. It would seem a person would know immediately that he was battling traffic. Some folks spend their entire lives battling though. This following is something that came in the mail and since it is a subject close to my heart I will print it here. Chairman Joe L. Evins (D-Tenn.) announced today that he and eight other Members of the House Small Business Committee have petitioned the Post Office and Civil Service Committee to exempt small, inde­ pendent newspapers from a proposed rate increase. "The small, independent newspaper has tradition­ ally been the hub around which the life of Small Town and Rural America has revolved," the Com­ mittee Members said in a letter to Rep. Thaddeus J. Dulski, Chairman of the Post Office and Civil Ser­ vice Committee, and Rep. Arnold Olsen, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Postal Rates which is consid­ ering the proposal "The free circulation of news is a basic element in our democracy," Chairman Evins commented. "The small newspapers should not be over-burdened with increased postal rates that could reduce the circula­ tion of these newspapers throughout America. " The full letter to Chairman Dulski follows: 22 June 1967 Honorable Thaddeus J. Dulski Chairman Post Office & Civil Service Committee U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D. C. .

We are sending for them and you can soon get them from the News office. We are all aware ths< our population continues to increase at a rapid rate, and because of this it is the duty of each and every one of us to help prevent our country from becoming a garbage heap. The condition of our roadside, our streams, and even the air attest to the plight we will be in if the pro­ per measures are not taken. There is no immediate solution and finding the answer is going to take time and money; therefore, it is up to us as indi­ viduals to do all we can to prevent unsightly con­ ditions, health hazards, and nuisances in general Because I travel consistently - about the village, it leaves me in a good position to see some of the above mentioned conditions, and to hear various complaints about them. The following are the most frequently .voiced: 1. Garbage: A few families in the village have neither gar­ bage service, nor an approved means of disposal; others have a constant mess. 2. Burn Barrels: If you have a burn barrel, you should make cer­ tain that sparks, smoke, and offensive odors are not annoying your neighbors. 3. Pets: When dogs and cats are allowed to run loose, they cause damage to property, create health hazards and cause disturbances at night. 4. Linering: This applies to village streets and alleys as well as highways. Clutter in the streets causes poor drainage, creates a bed for disease, and looks unsightly. 5.

NEW LOCATION 219 North Main Street Dept, report Dear Mr. Chairman: This is with reference to hearings currently being held before your Committee on the Administration bill to raise the postal rates on all classes of mail over the next few years. The House Small Business , Committee has received numerous communications from publishers of small independently owned news­ papers, all of whom raise objections to the proposed increase in postal rates for second class mail. The COPPERTONE newspapers referred to ai iness of disseminatina ae and local interest. T1 vixaL There can be no que out the necessity of bringing the operations ol : Post Office Department into better fiscal balance, which will require in­ creased operating revenues. The small independent newspaper, however, has traditionally been the hub around which the life of small town and rural Amer­ ica has revolved. The heavy rate of attrition has substantially reduced the numbers of such newspa­ pers, which have successfully competed for the ad­ vertisers' dollar. It would be a calamity if thesmall independently owned newspaper ceased to function as a vital part of American life. Most small independent newspapers, by their very nature, must use the mails in large measure to ac­ complish delivery of the papers to subscribers. Route delivery of such papers is almost non-existent. The publishing of small newspapers has never been a high profit enterprise. They perform a vital and essential service and this small business must be pro­ tected and preserved. It is the recommendation of the undersigned Mem­ bers of the House Small Business Committee that small independently owned newspapers be exempt from the proposed increase in postal rates which are now being considered by your Committee.

Next to Xmas this used to be our biggest day of the year as kids. Now I for one, hesitate to get on the highway to go any place and jump every time I hear a firecracker or a bomb and just don’t much care to do anything special at all. Guess it does make a person think a bit when the experts can tell you a week or more in advance how many people will be injured or killed before the Holiday even starts.Guess I just don't look forward to being one of the forecasts.

At any rate, it does not seem that the Fourth of July should come so early. As a matter of fact, the weather feels just about the same as it did the week of the big snow. Just can’t figure that out It seems to me that back in the good old days the Fourth came during the very warm weather. 1 can remember getting up early in the rooming and al­ ready it was warm and the air was already full of the smell of firecrackers, . Back in those days things started earlier. The Fourth started a good many days earlier. The spark­ lers came out weeks in advance of the big day and the smaller firecrackers (they were legal tn those days) were started many days in advance. The lady­ fingers (ittybitty) firecrackers were the first to be exploded. This might be as much as a month in ad­ vance of the. Fourth. These lady fingers were strung up on a long fuse which was intended to be lighted to ignite the firecrackers one-by-one making a sound somewhat similar to a burst from a tommy gun. A long time before the Fourth though, they were taken off the long fuse to be ignited one at a time. These little jobs were small anough that they gave out with just a slight cracking sound and repre­ sented little in the way of danger. The really big crackers were saved for the Fourth itself and the larger they were the later in the day they were to be exploded. Those really big ones were known as cannon crackers and one of :hem ex­ ploded under a tin-can could blow it sky-high.

But nevertheless some farmers in Barry and Eaton counties would un­ doubtedly fare well in comparison to " knee high" corn with those of Western States, despite the fact that Michigan corn planting season was exception­ ally wet and cold this year. These photos, taken June 30, with four days to go before the " knee high” traditional comparison, show corn 55 and 60 inches tall. In Barry County on the Roger Flannigan farm, eight miles northwest of Nashville, 8655 Coats Greve road, there is corn on a 13-acre field that was 55 inches tall on June 20 when these photos were taken. This com, planted on sandy loam May 15, is some of the best Roger has grown in the 20 years he has been farming. He plowed down clover from last year, used 300 pounds of fertilizer, and also weed Killer (Estron 99). M. L. Lowe of Gresham Highway, Vermontville, owns a 108-acre farm at 6135 Ono Road, east of here in Eaton county where he has over a half mile of corn planted along the Thornapple river. He planted the corn April 28 on sandy soil and was able to work the ground earlier than many farmers. He --Photo by Gladys Richardton used fertilizer and nitrogen, along with (Atrazine) a weed killer. His corn measured 60 inches tall as of June 30. Mr. Lowe has a reputation for raising ex­ ceptionally good corn over the years, and this looks as though it might be some of his best. Two years ago he put in an irrigation system, but he has not had need of it this year because of wet weather. SHOWER AFTER SHOWER Plenty of Hot Water... Electrically!

The village was settled more than 125 years ago by a select group of persons from Vermontville who came here with a definite purpose of setting up co­ lonial hornet and businesses similar to the area they left behind. Down through the years Vermontville residents have taken pride in their heritage, and now the Planning Committee is going to delve more deep ly into what that first group of settlers strived for, then present their ideas to the Chamber of < C o m merce, hoping that the community can stress a strong link with the past. The Planning Committee, organized in Septem­ ber 1965, for the purpose of promoting new ideas, is made up of representatives from all organizations in the community. Miss Mabelle Sprague and M. L Lowe are co-chairmen, a committee headed by Miss Esther Shepard, assisted by Mrs. Mildred Allen, Mrs. Mary Hulben, Miss Barbara Frith and Miss Cecilia Sprague will be responsible for making a detailed re­ search of the 1800 to 1850 era with suggestions of how the community can take on the "old" look in modern times. Chris King, local architect, spoke to the Planning committee last week Tuesday making a few sugges­ tions on how the "flavor" of old’Vermont could be brought to Vermontville. He said that in the olden days one look at the outside of a building and one knew immediately what kind of business was carried on on the inside. A definite motif should be consid­ ered, then with a desire, backed by energy all things are possible. He stressed that if the outside of a building is changed to come under any new plans which may develop, then the inside must be in the same decor. A complete study of the old New Eng­ land style should be made--the buildings, the fix­ tures and the furniture. Markers were suggested to be placed in various places in the community so the old landmarks would be clearly visible. A number of business men along Main street have already shown an interest in revamping the commun­ ity. feeling that by combing the "old" look while beautifying Vermontville, improvements can be made to make this one of the most outstanding and interesting communities in the state. The Congregational church is one of the oldest, if not the oldest church in Michigan. The first ten houses ever built are still standing.

He was born Oct. 21, 1895, in Battle Creek, son of Edwin W. and Elizabeth (Ruse) Penfold. He was married October 24, 1916, in Charlotte to Beatrice Herrington. He is survived by his wife, three daughters, Mrs. Charles (Theda) Coppess of Sunfield, Mrs. Donald (Aleta) VanAuken of Battle Creek and Mrs. Lloyd (Thelma) Linsley of Nashville, 12 grandchildren; four great-grandchildren, and a sister, Mb. William (Margaret) Barve of Coldwater. The Rev. Henry Campbell officiated at the ser­ vices, and burial was in Wilcox cemetery. "Honey, come heie and sit down, " said Dorothy. "I want to talk to you. ” She said it in that tone of voice that wives re­ serve for special occasions. Like when hubby goes out and buys an unauthorized fly rod, thereby dam­ aging the family budget. You guys all know what we mean. Only thing, we hadn't bought a new rod or much of anything else lately. We suspected, though, that we were about to get the worst of a bad bargain, so with foreboding we sat down. "1've been reading your outdoor columns," she said, "and I'm pretty interested in what you say a­ bout hunting and fishing being just for recreation. “ We brightened considerably at that, for it's a wellknown fact that the wives of outdoor writers seldom get around to reading what they write. A lot of other people might read it, but not a wife. Obviously, this was merely the build-up for the falL She continued: " If hunting and fishing are for recreation and it really isn't important whether you bring home any game or fish, then why is it neces­ sary to have all of that expensive equipment to hunt and fish with?" As we pondered for an answer, she continued: "Just look at the stuff you need to go duck hunting. You have to have a boat, motor, decoys, special shells, special shotgun, portable blind, a dog to fetch your ducks (if you ever shoot any), specialclothes, nip boots and decoys. " "You said decoys twice, " we protested weakly. "Well, for as many decoys as you have, I should mention them twice," she said. "And look at the way you load down the car just to go fishing. Why you need a dozen rods and reels. I’ll never know , and that's only the start. You have landing nets, hundreds of sure-fire baits that you've never even had in the water, waders, leaders, bobbers, sinkers, line dressing, fly oil, a creel and a boat and motor." "You said boat and motor when you inventoried my hunting gear", we interrupted. "For as much as they cost I should'say it four times’ she saio.

The meeting was called to order by the President, Mrs. Howard Mix. The secretary's report was read and approved. The treasurer, Mb. Don Webb reported a balance on hand of $35.43. "Thank..you" cards were read from Mb. Carter Brumm, Mrs. Dewey Jones and Mb. Floyd Titmarsh. Motion was made by Mrs. Titmarsh, seconded by Mrs. Dorr Webb that we pay $2. 00 for the use of the VFW Hall in March. . The Flower Fund balance was reported as $1.16. The roll call was "flowers I have enjoyed most this spring. " The meeting was turned over to Mrs. Nor­ man Barlow from the Barlow Gardens of Hastings. He brought with him flowers that can be found at home and showed the club how to make beautiful and unus­ ual corsages. He made it look so easy, but everyone was sure it would take a lot of practice. Members were drawn for the corsages that he made and they went to Mrs. Elmer Gillett, Mb. Floyd Nesbet, Mrs. Carl Tuttle, Mrs. Jesse Garlinger, Mrs. Don­ ald Dowsett, Mrs. Glenn Pufpaff, Mrs. Howard Mix and Mrs. Claude Jones.

Can't you hunt with just a gun and fish with Just a pole?" She leaned back with a gleam in her eye like a pros­ ecuting attorney resting his case. "Well, that's easy to explain, " we finally said. It's just a little difficult to put into words." Hmmmmm. We've just been wondering... any of you fellows happen to know the right words? Chloe Hendershott Mb. Chloe L. Henderthott, 81, of 536 E.

Snell, former dean of MSU's College of Engineer­ ing and now president of a Lansing engineering com­ pany, proposes that a 300 ft-wide channel connect a series of lakes to give Michigan an inland trans-state waterway. Water from Lake Huron would be pumped into the channel inlet, somewhere near Port Huron. Using many available lakes and streams, the waterway would connect with the Looking Glass River near Lan­ sing. From there it would cross above the Grand Riv­ er and connect into the widened and improved Thorn­ apple River and Battle Creek River. Eventually, the waterway would link into the Rabbit, Paw Paw, and Grand Rivers flowing into Lake Michigan at three points. A number of other riven would interconnect, giv­ ing Michigan approximately 900 miles of connected passages for boats and more than 1, 800 miles of shoreline. Channels would be deep enough to handle cruisers up to 50 ft. in length. and Ron Rapids. 14 class members were present. i family, Neil Parker and fam­ ily, Don Baker and family, Ken Beardslee and fam- RespoRSi fivoribli to forming MV art group A short time ago an article, (with a coupon to be filled in), was printed in the News pertaining to the formation of a Maple Valley Art Group. Approximately 30-40 persons have returned cou­ pons to the News office or have indicated interest in such a group. Although the time of the year is not particularly good for arranging meetings, because of vacations, etc., some plans will be made in regard to setting up a meeting of this group. The article stated that if there was enough interest along this line perhaps art classes could be offered, lectures arranged for and other activities along this line carried out. As plans are made, further a n nouncement will be made in the newspaper. Ample water supplies for much of the state would be one of the major benefits such a waterway would bring to the state. Many communities 'Which now suffer water shortages would be provided with an end­ less supply from this sparkling, fresh resource. I n creased recreational facilities is another benefit. Dams built along the channel would provide hydro­ electric power. A general " cleaning up" of existing lakes and rivers would accompany the construction of the channel, thus helping to eliminate current water pollution. Flood control and a boost to Michigan's tourist industry would be subsidiary benefits. Snell estimates the cost at about $490 million but notes that project expense could be recovered within ten years by selling the improved waterfront property for private development. ■ He points out that, over a longer period, sale of water to municipalities, industry and agriculture could turn the project igto a profit-making venture. The state could net some $20 to $50 million annually, he estimates. __ _ __ spouses were presented with name cards in the shape of a school house. After a bountiful potluck dinner, everyone settled down to a long and enjoyable session of reminiscing. A short business meeting was held and letters from some of the absent members were read by chairman Hoppe. Each class member was presented with an ac­ tual brick from the old VHS. Donald and Roxanne Baker were nominated to plan the 25th year reunion. • A lovely summer day accented the get-together and allowed much time for horseback riding and en­ joying the spacious country atmosphere of the host and hostess' lovely home. Three firm meetings set Thursday, July 6; Those interested in improving the performance of quality of beef cattle should at­ tend the meeting at Holiday Farms at 7:30 p. m. The testing program will be explained, Terry Greathouse and Amos Fox of MSU will be on hand for the dem­ onstration of cattle grading and performance testing. The farm is north of Ada on Grand River Drive. . Thursday, July 13: at 8 p. m. see one litter system and a new feed handling system and a new feed han­ dling system at the Louis Wierenga Farm at the Charlton Park road north of the Coats Grove road. Corn and Soybean rations will be discussed along with hew swine layouts. Thunday, July 20, Free Lime Testing Day. F a r men will oe allowed to test two sample of soil free for lime.

Side-Dress Your Crops NOW Without Lifting a Finger A_ a_-ft No estimate Of time needed to complete such an undertaking has been given and Snell hastens to point out that all of his studies have been preliminary. The first step in undertaking such a venture would be through the legislature's authorization of more de­ tailed engineering studies. If the decision were then to proceed, an authority much like that set up for the Mackinac Bridge would probably follow. 3 NOT INSURANCE Uninsured motorists who pay $35 each year in lieu of automobile insurance leave themselves wide open to financial hardship, notes Secretary of State James Hare. The $35 fee is not fot their own protection. It is for the protection of the driver who suffers loss due to an accident caused by the uninsured. Victims are re­ imbursed by the state a maximum of $10, 000 per per­ son for bodily injury with a limit of $20, 000 per ac­ cident Additionally, victims can receive a maxi­ mum of $5, 000 per accident for property damage, af­ ter an initial $200 deduction is made.

NUMBER 7 _ Donkey ball game planned by Chamber A fun-filled evening is being planned for the res­ idents of the area, as members of the Nashville Chamber of Commerce are making plans for a DonO key Dall Ball game ewn on July 113. • . t'he ball game will ill be played at the Fuller Stre Street School, at the ballfield. Two teams will be made up, one composed of members of the Chainbet of Commerce and the other a group of "Gay 90's". All players except the pitcher and catcher will ride donkeys in the game. The pitcher and catcher re­ main on the ground in specially marked boxes. The pitcher and catcher cannot field a batted ball but must wait until a player with a donkey has handled the ball first. When the batter hits the ball, he must mount the donkey and ride around the bases in proper order. The base running donkey must step inside or on a white circle with one foot while player is on the donkey's back, to be safe. The Gay Nineties team, under the coaching of Bernice and Phyllis Frith, includes these additional women on the team; Bernice Frith, Gladys Mitchell, Rotha Murphy, Mabel Drake, June Decker, Gerry Dingman, Lillian Garlinger, Bonnie Maker and Phyllis Erath. These ladies will be all decked out in "Gay Nine­ ty" apparel and have some special little schemes they nope to use fa their attempt to win over the Chamber team. Unpires, referees and other officials have not been assigned as yet, but much fun is in store for partici­ pants as well as those attending. Tickets are being sold by various Chamber of Commerce members. Vote closes last county rural school The annual Mayo school reunion was held Sunday with 140 guests present.

But. the close of more than 100 doo of the residents of the Maon Monday the votes of the district approved consolidation with the Maple Val­ ley district. True, another reunion is scheduled for the second Sunday fa July, 1968, but things will not be the same—ever, for the closing of the Mayo school not only marks the end of another rural school, but more important, it marks the closing of the last lit­ tle rural school in Barry county. There are 33 voters In the Mayo district, and Mon day most of them voted on the three separate pro­ posals. Proposal No I was the annexation to the Ma­ ple Valley district. This passed 28 to 1. ul amount assessed against Ehls asked for an expenses. Such increase is presently in effect in the Maple laple Valley district. This proposal passed 29 to 0. The third proposal concerned the Mayo . . lyo di district's assuming itss pro-rata share of the 1963 unlii unlimited tax bonded iindebtedness ' ' ‘ ’ -­ of the Maple Valley school district. This is proposal passed 25' 25 to 2. For many yean the little school districts and ai rur* * al churches have been the nucleus of rural cc the district could best be served by annexing to the Maple Valley district. Back in 1939 Mrs. Josephine Mapes started oraoap �BACKSTREET BAROMETER The following note was received this week and we sprint in here: tear Backstreet Barometer, I hadn't realized the difference between the Backtjeet and the front street before but thanks for the dhcation. It seems to me the backstreet of the past which ou so adequately described in your article about the •th of July, really needs the front street of today, t's like a boy becoming a man; he must leave his ticks and stones and puppy dog tails. It's a great day today, Mr. Barometer, just look tround! Maybe you won't see firecrackers but you'll «e joy just the same. Please let us live today, just jne day at a time. Yesterday and tomorrow can be rwful eternities. Your secret admirer The article printed in last week's paper about the considered transformation of "Old New England'Took for Vermontville has brought some interesting commenu. Io the first place, such an undertaking is a great bit of work - and this is generally understood by those involved. However, after one begins to consider such a change, a few things come to mind and it begins to take on the feeling of " Hey, this could be a fun thing!" Ifthis theme could be carried out and was gener­ ally evident by the various business places, it could be a boom as a tourist attraction. Thinking along the line of tourists - there must be some place for them to go after they come to the community - per­ haps interesting and unusual shops, restauranu, tne museum. One lady commented that this would be an ideal place for a pancake shop - not one large, modem restaurant - but one small interesting place, a few tables with checkered table cloths and can­ dles on the tables - one decorated with the Old New England bit in mind. Along with this goes die gift shop - with unusual gift items and an objects. These things tourists are looking for. Another suggestion which was mentioned was mak­ ing use of thebeautiful Thornapple River and pro­ moting a Canoe trip (supplying canoes for rental) between Vermontville and Nashville. Only those who have actually taken this trip know the beauty of the river and can feel the enthusiasm that this sug­ _______ gestion brings. Maple Valley News by john boughton This takes a lot of forward-thinking - lots of work and sheer determination. I think it deserves much thought and consideration and certainly such an idea is not impossible to attain. Let's all remember the Donkey ball game this Friday night at the Fuller Street School From what I hear, the ladies have a fine team organized and will match their talents (?) against the members of the Chamber of Commerce - male members, that is. It should be a lot of fun and I hear these women have a few tricks up their sleeves and who knows, perhaps those donkeys'are a trick-y bunch too. The tickets have been on sale around town and from the sound of things, it should be a fine project. Jane Randall begins g-Week COM SOling job Jane Randall will leave July 18 for Leysin, Switzer­ land, where she will begin a 6-week counseling job at an International Children's Camp.

Kel­ logg Foundation has provided aid and encouragement for advancement of education and .health care throughout the nation and also the vast reaches of Latin America, " Dr. Crosby said. "Australia, Can­ ada and Europe also have received the benefits of the Foundation philanthropies, " he added. Dr. Morris, who had been practicing denistry in Battle Creek, joined the Kellogg Foundation in 1933 as director of denul education. One of his ma­ jor and early concerns was the lack of hospitals in rural Michigan. Foundation trustees listened to his pleas and decided to help the communities develop rural health centers, an attraction to young medi­ cal school graduates, improvement in medical, pub­ lic health and dental services followed as the Mich­ igan Community Health Project (MCHP) stimulated the communities to develop a wide range of activ­ ities where none, or almost none, had existed be­ fore. Later the Foundation's scope of assistance to health programs, including hospitals, expanded to national and international proponions. In 1940 Dr. Morris was named general director of the Foundation and three years later assumed the additional duties of president. Son of a country (factor, he was bom in Nashville and was graduated from the University of Michigan with his D. D. S. degree in 1928.

Open&ttel The Junior Deputies left last Friday morning at 7:00 a. m. on their trip to the north country. On tile way they stopped at the new Montcalm County jau where sheriff Elton Sampson and his deputies showed the group through the new jail. The group was pleased to see the new equip­ ment that is being used today as they have vuited other jails on other trips and every year a lot of new things are being added. Then they went on north to Elwin Smith’s cabin (Eaton County sheriff) in Clare County. While there they went to Lake City and took the Lake City railroad to Cadillac and back on the old steam train. The engine and coaches are from different railroads and are very old. Along the way they saw lou of wild flowers and deer, and along with ride, made the trip very interesting. When they got back to the cabin they had the honor of helping Deputy Jiggs Mills cele­ brate his birthday by having the warmest seat to sit on in Clare County. Deputy Robert Thompson and Jim Ferguson, advisors to the boys went with them. Dear friends, The selection of the fin­ al resting place is of pri­ mary importance and should be done well in ad­ vance of need to avoid re­ grets from a hasty decis­ ion. The family may own a cemetery plot, yet the amount of space available and the legal right of bur­ ial may be in doubt. Your funeral dttector can assist you to learn the status of a family plot or in securing a new one.

The symptoms are the same and in either case it is im­ portant to keep the victim cool and call a physician at once. Heat prostration also is caused by get­ ting overheated, but instead of de­ veloping a high fever, the victim becomes cold and clammy. Prompt medical attention and keeping the patient as warm as possible are important. . Sunburn has hospitalixed many a vacationer. Everyone should know that gradual exposure to the sun, beginning with a few minutes a day, is the recommended course. But many of us forget to watch the clock and to take pre­ cautions against sunburn in the exdlement of the first day at camp or at the seashore. The bacteria that cause diar­ rhea multiply much faster in luke­ warm foods, and it's important to keep cold foods in refrigeration and io keep hot foods hoc Swimming is fine exercise and also-is good for cooling off on a hot day. Those with sinus or ear troubles should be careful about swimming. Swimmers should make certain that the Water is safe from pollution. A clear mountain stream may look attractive.

My parents, Solomon Lockwood Wiard and Juli- ' ette Bullock, were old residents of that loved town. Father, with his family, went there in 1867. My mother was the daughter of Dudley Fish Bullock. Her twin sister was Janette Bullock McCarty, moth­ er of Juliette McCarty Nicksail Jehmak. I attended school in Vermontville through the 3rd grade. Mis* Wheeler and Mrs. Rhode* were my teach­ er*. I joined the Congregational church at 8 yean. Later my mother went into the Methodist church. Mr. Pollock, pastor. Bernard was his son. We lived on the same street as the Tylers, Ada, Una, Myrtle, their daughters. Dr. Green was a 2nd cousin of my father, Hiam DeForest Wiard, a well known preacher, was my uncle. His wife was my mother's sister, Lucelia Bullock Wiard. My father's people were all stone masons or preachen. (Stone masonry then a profession and not a trade). The Wiards came to Boston in 1636. Their son married Miles Sundish' granddaughter, making me a Mayflower descendant. descendant.'* I have ave "had had a most interesting and happy life, now in my 90th year. In the 1890's for one year I taught in Cogsdill school in Kalamo after work at Ann Arbor University. We came to Washington territory in the spring of 1838, so I am a pioneer in Washirigton--went east to college. I love Vermontville, the old Thomapple River, the whole is a memory of delight.

This friend is entirely right in his saying that we have only today and that living in the past or dream­ ing of the future is a pleasure we must deny o u r selves. We have only the psesent—the moment--and if we make that meaningful we really will have little time to dwell on past glories or to dream of the great day coming. Ths past can serve us best by providing us with a model to go by. We can look at the past and know that if certain things are done, then certain results may be expected. So often we look at the past though, see the mis­ takes made by ourselves or others, and then pro­ ceed to make the same mistakes all over. Then express surprise at the result. It is a bit like a little poem I learned yean ago. I don't know who wrote it or even where I saw it, but this poem impressed me enough that I have re­ membered it for years--probably because it is so true. It goes; For good undone, For gifts misspent. For resolutions vain, Tis somewhat late to trouble, This I know. But I would live the same life over If I had to live again, Though chances are I'd go where most men go. The point being I guess that even though we know from past experience what the results will be, we go ahead and goof up anyway--knowing we are goofing. My friend, of course is right. There is little Rents good to be gained from dwell! not might be cheaper in that dwel even sure of that. We have only today--and perhaps not all of that so we should make the most of it. 'V. What made the "old days" good? Or better than the present? Faulty memories, I suspect. It seems to be human nature to remember things not as they actually were, but as we would like to think they were. John Steinbeck in "America and Americans" said, "National need calls upon the citizen soldier. He kicks like a steer going in, bitches the whole time? He lives for the day when he can get out of uniform, and once out spends a large part of his future life at reunions and conventions. The war he loathed becomes the great time of his life and__ . he can conscientiously bore hi* wife and children" to death with it. “ When Amy and I were first married and we moved into a little apartment in Detroit, a very wise and good friend told us what she thought was one of the secrets of happiness. She told us that we would no doubt live in sev­ eral different places before we settled down com­ pletely. "Wherever you are living, " she said, "consider that the place you are going to live the rest of your life. You will have much more chance of nappiness that way and so will the people around you." We have lived in several houses and each one we have left we left with a garden and trees. We have never been unhappy about the work that went into these yards. We enjoyed it and we think of the trees and flowers left behind as a memorial to us.

Tucson, Arizona ESTHER CIRCLE MEETING Due to the weather, the Esther Circle of the WSCS of the Methodist church met at the home of Mrs. Boyd Olsen for a potluck dinner, instead of traveling to Rye Park on Friday of last week for an outing. Eleven members and four guests enjoyed the 12:30 delicious dinner. The group was especially glad to have with them the new pastor, theRev.Rob ert Boyer and his family, for this time of fellow­ ship. " Leading the meeting following the dinner, was Mrs. Christina Van Horn, the acting chairman for the month of July. Mrs. Bessie Decker, who had the devotions, read an article which stressed the value of our trials and temptations which are often given to us to test our faith. She gave an interesting story ot a Japanese dentist who. through constant appli­ cation, was able to do things that required great power. She likened this to the Christian, who must exercise constant application to the task of being a Christian--that is--through daily prayer and the study of the scriptures. She closed with a 23rdpsalm for busy people. The most important piece of business transacted during the business session was the pledging of $25 to the church towards the purchase of the new car­ pet for the sanctuary. Each member of the circle is asked to contribute $1. 00 toward this fund. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Arthur P e n nock on August lltn. Mrs. E. S. Hafner will be the acting chairman for that month. Three members who are ill, were remembered with cards. Saves hours of work. Flows on easily. Covers wood, brick, masonry, stucco.

The first thing the manager asked me was—did I have a chair handy anc^was I sitting down ! We are going to have to sell sour cherries for $9. 50 for a 30# can, either with or without sugar. The big black sweet cherries are the same as last year, with or without sugar. Don’t know why they don't go up, but we are thankful. ‘ So our cherry pies and cherry cobblers will cost us more, but actually only about 100 a pie, so it could be worse. We will be going to Frankfort for the cherries in the next week or two, so please call us with your orders.

Baker and Daniel L. Talbot built the first schoolhouse in District No. 2 on Section 2 in Assyr­ ia township. This was across the road from the pres­ ent Mayo school The first school was known as the Baker school In that schoolhouse O. B. Sheldon of Castleton taught the first school and Jane F a rns worth the second. ' In 1844 Assyria received a settler named Rodgers who straight-way on his arrival introduced himself as a Methodist Episcopal preacher and in the Baker schoolhouse conducted puolic worship every Sun­ day for some time. The first school records were dated 1865 when Cynthia Jane Foster was the teaeher. The 13th of November first term started and ran 17 weeks and die teacher received $85, or $1. 00 a day. The next year 1866 they had a spring term of 13 weeks with Anna Marie Mulvaney as teacher with P. M. Harwood, director. John Mayo was the mod­ erator and C.G. Baker assessor. This teacher re­ ceived $39 for her 13 weeks. The same fall Susan M. Brooks taught 13 weeks for $65. The next year they did not have a spring term and the fall of 1867 Jacob Hoffman, director,hired Sophia Dittimer. There were 19 on the school list among whom were Harry Mayo, 8, Charles Hoff­ man, 9 and William Coates, 17. The school of­ ficer's terms were only for one year and a new board elected each year. Nettie Briggs taught in 1868 for $1. 00 per day for 13 weeks. Josephine A. Hoffman taught tne spring term of 1869, a 12 weeks school starting May 1st. November 8, 1869, Ruth A. Hyde was hired as teacher with John Wilkinson, director. Kattie Mat­ teson taught the spring term of 1870. In the fall of 1870 Arvilla Sackett was teacher. Lucian B. Potter, director. In the notes of the annual school - meeting the motion was made and carried that the schoolhouse be repaired with new sills, siding, roof, floor, sash paint and plaster and the job of repair­ . went to Charles — . “Baker ’ ing for $215. A special pur-­ meeting was called for this same fall for the pur .i----- ;— jjjg pose of changing the schoolhouse schoolhouse site. site. The The motion motion lost. Order drawn for repairing schoolhouse, $215. Evidently everything did not run smoothly and at the annual meeting in September 1871 the di­ rector resigned and a meeting called the next week. Eldridge Potter was elected director to fill the vacancy and Anderson McKimey was elected moderator. John Mayo was assessor. Anna Yourex taught this spring term and Alice Slade in the fall, anti again the next spring.

In the place reserved for remarks by the director it was observed that one of these earlier teachers failed to fulfill her part of the contract, her agree­ ment not to dance during the school term. They fin­ ally compromised and she gave general satisfaction. Anna Yourex taught both the spring and fall terms of 1873 with Sarah Mulvany teaching in the spring erf 1874. Willie Potter's name first appeared on the census at the age of five. Julia Madison taught 16 weeks in the fall of 1874 for the sum of $210.

Charles Baker to build a fence for the lot for $24. In 1881 John Clever was the teacher. It was de­ cided to build a new schoolhouse and John Wilkin­ son, Jacob Hoffman and Oris Mapes were appointed as a committee to draw up plans.' A special meet­ ing was called in December and the contract was let to Charles Baker for $800. 00 to be ready for the next school year. In 1882 Lillian Briggs and Anna B. Brooks were were sold to him for J2. 00. The motion was made and carried to build two new out­ houses to be let to the lowest bidder. John Wilkin­ son built the two for >66. They were to be finished by November 10. . Dottie M. Evant taught in 1882 and in 1883 Min­ nie Fruin taught with a provision written in her coo- By GLADYS RICHARDSON She must have given satisfaction because she taught the following fall also for eight weeks and was fol­ lowed by Truman L. Parker. Frank M. Quick was di­ rector. In the annual meeting the motion was made and accepted that if any scholar did any damage to the schoolhouse the parent of said child shall pay the damage.

They were all five and six years of age. At the annual meeting in 1886 the motion was made to set out shade uees on the school ground.

Also Olive Mayo cleaned the school­ house nine times in succession for $2. 50 each time. The driector also received from 50# to $1. 00 for hiring the teacher, and $1. 50 for making out census list, making out reports and carrying the reports to both clerks. Also they received $1. 00 for going after the teacher and one order was for $1. 50 for going to Woodland for the teacher. In 1886 H. H.

From the very beginning men have been trying to find ways to more accurately tell just where we stand in time. Years, days, months, were fairly easy to tell. A day ran from sunup to sunset and a night from sun­ set to sunrise. Or the whole thing could be a day. Months we came by naturally. Even the most primitive of people can judge the passage of time by the phases of the moon which take roughly a month. The changes of the seasons made the year come out to a natural measure of time. When men started to whack the day up into parts though, they ran into trouble, Sunrise, sunset and I . t L J - noon were not too u. bad, but the rest oft the- day someone' at proved difficult. If you didn't meet someone Si'' UXL.MV.JJ noon back in the days before watches--forget it. Now, even with h'igh high class timepieces, we are running into difficulties as to just what time it is.

When Michigan went on Savings time a lot of people went on off their old set schedules. complain that it is difficult to get chil­ iMothers .................... dren into bed before ten o'clock because the sun o is still out. Golfers like to have sunshine late in the evening. They can get in 18 holes after work if they want to. Of course the guys^hp-eperate drive-in movies cry a lot about having to wait till 9:00 or 10:00 be­ fore they start the show. Mothers who would like to get the kids in bed so they can enjoy a bit of relax­ ation and would like darkness to come earlier. I have heard that one woman even insisted that the change in time was going to throw the growing crops out of kilter because the extra hour of d a y light would make them grow more. Perhaps the answer would be to let each guy set his clock the way he sees fit. What is it to me if the. drive-in movie guy wants to be on fast time and I am on slow time? Somehow we will get to­ gether on it. > We could all go on Greenwich time. Then no matter where a person is in the world he is going on the time at the prime meridian.

Really, the only time that makes nv’ch differen­ ce to me is time to eat and time to go to bed. I have my own internal clock to help me through , these times. Now, what do we do when we put m'en on the moon? Do they go by earth tirtie or is there a spec­ ial moon time? It’s too much for me. What with the girls wearing their hair short and the boys going toward long hair, we sometimes have trouble telling one from the other. A couple of nights ago we saw a young person on television and got into a family argument over whether it was a boy or girt None of us could tell until someone else on the show referred to the in­ dividual as she. All they have to do now is to really come out with mini-skirts for men. I would hate myself if I whistled at a beautiful pair of gams in a mini­ skirt and have the wearer turn out to be a boy. That could kill my taste for mini-skirts. ‘ Jackie Jardine, Auto Club secretary in Detroit, is wearing a blouse showing one of the new "Bring Me Back Alive" iron-on transfers which are bein distributed free to the pub!

Deen married... cut a tooth... died... sold out... been robbed... been shot...

When the postman comes your way, This warm cheerful greeting seems to brighten up the day. . He knows each family living there along his ru­ ral route, And he hopes things are all right when he sees them up and out. He brings all the news along, for they seldom have a day / When they can go into the town just to pass the time away. He knows of each new baby and likes to watch them grow, When children have chicken pox they always let him know. The boys and girls along his route love this cheer­ ful, friendly man. - ‘ They wait to hear his greeting and to see him wave his hand, And he usually brings letters from all the friends and kin, And sometimes brings gay catalogs with many things to buy within, He is a most important man to the folks- along his way, I think you look forward just to see him come a­ long with a handful just for you today.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION HIDING THE FACTS A new rash of efforts to conduct public business in private seems to be developing; It is especially apparent among school boards. The law states that school boards, and most och­ er public bodies, must hold their meetings in pub­ lic but does allow for executive sessions. It stipu­ lates that no formal action can be taken except at a public meeting. Numerous "advantages" are listed for holding closed meetings. These include efficiency, exped­ iency, the need to deal with personnel problems, and property purchases. Another "advantage" not heard so often but nonetheless pertinent is that board members need not worry about looking fool­ ish in their deliberations in the absence of an audi­ ence. It might be more efficient and more expedient for a board to meet in private. But American gov­ ernment is built upon the basis that the individual has a responsibility in making logical, government decisions at the polls. He has a right to know how his elected representatives deal with public prob­ lems. . Newspapers lead the fight to keep meetings open and always win when people in the community back them. W ithout solid, local support officials are inclined to do as they please. It is the old story of people getting the kind of government they de­ mand. Some boards make too frequent use of the exe­ cutive session as a means of conducting public bus­ iness in private. There are records of boards which meet in private to decide what will be "decided" later in formal session. This has the effect of cre­ ating a very dull, cut-and-dried meeting. Another way to avoid the spirit of public meet­ ings is for the board to call a special meeting. State law does not require much in the way of public notice. So a special meeting can be called follow­ ing a regular meeting or at any time board m e m bers want to act officially without being subjected to the public eve. Irresponsible or unconcerned citizens can e x pect their governmental units will move towards more secrecy and more private decisions. After all, it is easier, quicker and more efficient. But i t leads to poorer and poorer government with the rights of more and more people endangered. It means government by the few for the many who don't care enough about their collective business to be concerned until it is too late. INFORMATION PLEASE!

MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, JULY 29, 1967 SHOP LOCALLY SHOP IN NASHVILLE AT THE FAMILY STORE Is Your CAR V Ready F For Summer? �Benefits available Burins chronic illness GORDON CHARLES Science is making some wonderful things happen in the out-of-doors these days. Among the many new devices you will soon be hearing about are in­ fra-red detection systems for the early discovery of potential forest fires and for super-accurate big game counts. It was less than a year ago that Ontario scored what was probably a "first" in North America when the pilot of a forest fire patrol plane pin-pointed an otherwise invisible lightning fire. It had been smouldering in a dead tree tor nearly a week. The Turbo-Beaver aircraft was equipped with an odd-shaped pad at its wing tip. (This was part of an infra-red detection system. ) When an instrument light flashed on, the pilot knew a heat source had been passed over, even though he had seen nothing out of the ordinary. He checked off the approximate location on his map and made another pass over the area. This time he turned'on the camera which is part of the system. Although no smoke was seen with the naked eye, development of the film showed a tiny white dot, indicating definite fire. It was two days later, how­ ever, before another plane watching tne area on pa trol saw a wisp of smoke. A fire crew was quicklv sent in and the blaze was killed before it could do any serious damage. Ontario's Department of Lands and Forests has been testing various infra-red detection scanners since 1962 and the latest system, produced by an Ottawa firm, shows considerable promise. In addition to pin-pointing fire sources before they become serious, this airborne system is also highly useful in mapping the boundaries of full­ scale forest fires, such as plagued Ontario last month. It can also determine whether forest fires are "dead out" once crews have brought them un­ der control. Here in Michigan, the University of Michigan is working on infra-red detection equipment which is even more sensitive to heat sources on the ground. There is little doubt now but what the very near future will see this type of equipment being used to count deer and possibly elk with a high degree of accuracy. A plane flying over a big game area can register with a camera what the human eye can't even see. Thus, if 10 or 12 deer are resting in a wooded area and screened by leaves, it will make no dif­ ference to the camera which is part of the infra­ red detection system. A specific number of white dots on the developed film will reveal the exact numoer of deer which were betrayed by their own body heat. Further refinements of this equipment will also make it possible some day to make accurate census counts of small game since various creatures give off different amounts of body heat. Heat-sensitive equipment will count what is desired and ignore the others. How about this science stuff? Great, isn't it? NEWS^ If long-term illness strikes, its physical effects may or may not be painful to bear. But the chroni­ cally ill are often faced with another kind of ordeal as painful in its way as the physical: while work is impossible, where is the money to come from? Nowadays there is, happily, an answer to that question. It's an answer which, if not complete, is nevertheless substantial. It can make the difference between deep gloom and comfo"i— —------ *----when chronic illness looms. Although the fact isn’t as widely ___ „ .. should be, people who are disabled for a year o r longer through mental or physical impairment-whether caused by accident of illness--are eligible for social security benefits regardless of age. Pay­ ment of benefits begins after six full months of disability, if the patient can show reasonable evidence fa doctor's statement, for example) that the im­ pairment will last for at least a year. To be eligible for benefits, the person must be unable to do not merely his own kind of work but any "ny work that his age, education and experience light qualify m'_' . 'him for. iIn most cases,. 'he would ’ ' need to have" social security work credits for at least five of the ten years before disability began. Age has nothing to do with it. If the person qual­ ifies, he is entitled to the same benefits as are nor­ mally paid at 65. This can mean as much as $339 a month for families, and $44 to $152 a month for individuals. Many people disabled by severe tuberculosis, em­ physema, or some other disease of breathing are now receiving benefits. Emphysema, in fact, ranks second among all diseases for which benefits are a­ warded. Additional information can be obtained from the local office of the Social Security Admin­ istration, or from your Christmas Seal association.

Club News 02690360 summer Bag Lake Water safety rules The danger of drowning from extended breatnholding under water was emphasized today by Mrs. Robert Jones of the Mid-Michigan Chapter of the Red Cross. Mrs. Jones said her warning was addressed to chil­ dren and teenagers who compete with each other to see who can stay under water the longest. "Youngsters who play this game are simply asking for trouble--and possible tragedy, " Mrs. Jones said. "Hyperventilating - taking several deep breaths be­ fore going under water - is a dangerous practice. This is what happens physiologically," she contin­ ued. "Before going under water an individual takes several deep breaths in order to build up as much ox­ ygen in the lungs as possible. This deep breathing, called hyperventilation, does increase the oxygen, but it lowers the carbon dioxide in the system. "After a period under water, because the carbon dioxide does not build up fast enough to trigger the breathing urge, the swimmer tends to stay under too long and may black out. Then, unless help is at hand to get him to the surface quickly, drowning will result. " She urged that parents make these facts known to their children and instruct them not to play the ' hslding-the-breath" game.

The council has Deen making a study of such a code for the past several weeks to tie in with the new Zoning Code adopted earlier this year. The new code, adopted as a part of the Ordinance of the Village of Nashville, will go into effect 21 days from the date adopted, July 27. It is expected t o provide "good control, with ho hardships" and a copy of the code may be seen at the village hall The council also drew up a resolution that the property known as the Wheeler Boat Sales, the Pen­ nock Block Plant and gravel pit and the Nashville Locker Plant on the east side of Main street at the southerly edge of the village shall be rezoned as commercial property. These business places have been in existence for a long time. A public hear ing on the ammendment shall be held on the 10th of August at 7 p. m. This is the regular meeting time of the next council meeting, and following the public hearing a regular council meeting will take place when tne resolution will be adopted. The State Highway, M-66, runs through Nash­ ville's Main street, and is scheduled for re-surfac­ ing this summer. Because the State Highway de­ partment contract covers only 50 feet of blacktop, and Nashville's Main street is 55 feet wide in a stretch from Sherman street north about 200 feet beyond Washington street, the village council voted to have the remaining five feet of blacktop poured at the same time at a cost of no more than $660. The village of Nashville has but one police offi­ cer, and in view of recent rioting and hoodlum ac­ tivities throughout Michigan, the council passed a resolution permitting Police Chief Robert Parker to deputize local residents as assistant police officers in face of any emergency situations. In other business a motion was passed to allow the Michigan State Liquor Commission to transfer the liquor license of John and Gladys Wixson to just Gladys Wixson. They voted to pay $250 to the Fire Board; passed other bills in the amount of $4,898.07 and discussed at length dog complaints, blown out street lights, authorized the police officer to use village-supplied gasoline rather than purchase from local stations, and discussed the ticketing of cars for all-night parking on village streets.

The Smiths produced maple syrup for over 55 years, and par­ ticipated in the Vermontville Maple Sugar Festi­ val until his retirement. He taught many of the local young men how to make syrup, and several generations of Nashville youth worked at Pippin Hill Farm either during the Maple sugar season, or in the potato and onion fields. ‘ The Smiths had four children, the eldest of whom died in infancy. Affectionately better known as Pat, he was for most of his adult life an active member of the Knights of Pythias, serving as Grand Master of the Nashville Lodge and as leader of the ritual team. He was also a member of the Grange and of the Farm Bureau, for which he served as president of the local chapter. He played on the village base­ ball team and managed the team for se reral seas­ ons.

Film shows operation of State Legislature A 28-minute film designed to show Michigan citizens how the State Legislature operates is avail­ able to the public, according to State Representa­ tive Stanley M. Powell, Republican of Ionia. The film entitled "The People of the State of Michigan Enact, " was filmed in the State Capitol in L a n sing and depicts a freshman Legislator "learning the ropes" of his new job. Of particular interest, according to Representa­ tive Powell, is that the film shows how a bill is moved through the legislative process from its in­ troduction until it becomes law. Local groups and organizations may secure the film for their use by contacting Representative Powell in care of the State Capitol in Lansing. A (tenda Floral School Mrs. Edna Edwards of Nashville, who is associa­ ted with Maple Valley Floral, attended the Belen's Floral School of Design in Lansing. It was a 5-day course, and it covered care of flowers, arrangement of flowers, and how to handle wedding and funeral flowers. This course was the basic course of floral design and she has a B. S. S. D. certification. Claaa of 1920 meeta Locals Mr. and Mrs. Mark Norris and family of Grand Forks, North Dakota, are visiting his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Norris, for a short time. mm CHARLES If you have a hunting dog, or any other kind of dog for that matter, those coming August "Dog Days" can be rather hard On him. He will have to keep cool and this includes a con stant supply of fresh water. Some dogs, though, and particularly the retrieving type like Labs, d o n't know a good deal when they see it. They insist on picking up their water dishes and trying to move them around; thus dumping out the water. Well, a friend of ours solved this one in gcood shape by heading for an old auto junk yard. Th<lere he bought a couple of old brake drums. These he fitted out with some round, shallow that would just just nest inside the drums. His dogs tested out the ten-pound load afew times, then decided it just wasn't worth the effort. That was the last time they spilled their water. Ever stop to give a thought to the reason why a fish actually strikes a lure? Based on observations of researchers, these are some of the reasons: HUNGER: Fish stomach is empty but it was seen striking at minnows before it was caught. ANGER: Fish was spotted and 34 casts later it struck. GLUTTONY: With stomach and throat full, baas still strikes a plus. . GREED: Small fish suits for lure, bigger one beats him to it. CURIOSITY: Fish follows lure, strikes it at boat. REFLEX ACTION: Lure hits water, fish strikes instantiy. PROTECTIVE INSTINCT: Fish on spawning bed bumps lure away from area. What’s that? All the time you thought it was your skill? . After 47 years, ten of the fourteen living mem­ bers of the Vermontville high school graduating class of 1920 gathered at the tome of Mrs. John Gaut on West First Street for a picnic anniversary supper. Mr. and Mrs. Walter A dr io n( nee Bernice Gaut) of Corvallis, Oregon, were host and hostess. A Bohemian supper was served with 27 present The evening was spent in reminiscing. Out-of-town merpbers and guests were Mr. a nd Mrs. Merril Hunter Of Midland; Mr. and Mrs. Duane Hawkins and Mr, and Mn. Paul Taylor of Lansing, Mr. and Mrs. Marion Vincent of Detroit. Mr. and Mn. Hugh Whitmore of Eagle, Mrs. Hen­ ry Leatz of St. Joseph, Mrs. John Crue of Hastings, Garcia Vincent of Port Huron, Mike Reese of Bat­ tle Creek, 'Mrs. Ethel McLaughlin and Mrs. Ethel Shepherd of Charlotte, Mrs. Ethel Smith of Ionia, and Mn. Blanch Foltz of Sunfield. • Class members who attended from Vermontville were Mrs. Fred Kroger, Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Tubbs, Mrs. Leta Nagle, and Mr. and Mrs. Shirley Southern. Mrs. John Gaut, mother of Mrs. Adrion, was a guest. Graduates of the class of 1920 have met an­ nually for this reunion since their twentieth anni­ versary which is a record which few if any other graduating class of Vermontville holds. Jackpot News It seems Nashville and Vermontville are having a difficult time giving any money away this sum­ mer. Last Friday night in Nashville there was one winner out of three. She was Veda Mix, and she collected $15 in scrip held at Wixson's Bar. The other two names drawn were Ruth Williams and Ruth Frost In Vermontville, the jackpot has stood at $100 for several weeks, and again last week, it was missed by Lyle Tyler, the scrip b^lng held at Jack's Standard Oil Next week's jackpot will re­ main at $100.

BACKSTREET BAROMETER Last Thursday evening, on my way home from Lansing I saw a fox cross the road about half way between the school and the railroad crossing. Mon­ day morning, at just about the same place there was a uead fox in the road. He had attempted to cross in front of someone who must have been mov­ ing a little faster than I was. After I saw the body of the fox on the side of the road, I watched along the short trip to Lansing for other bodies and saw many. ........ The automobile is a killer, not only ofpeople, but of the wild-life along the highway. The side* of the roads are filled with animals that have been hit and killed. Not too long ago I even taw a horse dead in the ditch and skid mark* on the road. It wu obvious that he had been hit. Almost every trip out on the highway one hits a sparrow, not to mention the thousands of flying in­ sects. The deer kill by automobile in Barry Coun- by john boughton ty alone must be great. I'll bet we kill as many with cars a* we do with guru. Maybe we will have to start a federal program to teach animals to look both ways before they cross the street. A friend of mine was telling me about a lady he knows who teaches kindergarten and in the spring of the year was tiling , the kids the Easter story, She went through le build-up and then told of the nailing of Christ the Cross. She insists it is true that just at this point in her story a little fellow jumped up and said, "Good grief, Mrs. Shaeffer, where in the world were the State Police?" Whether it is true or not, it make* a good story. Nashville may turn out to be the cleanest town in the state. The only litter we have a-* round town should belong to the dog* and cats. (I don't know why they refer to their young a* litters). The village has beautiful white waste receptacle* on Main street, for litter and at about the Mme time Leonard OU Company has put a litter barrel at the city limit* sign* so that folks co nto our town can dump their accumulated they are coming in. It is a good idea. Hope it work*. Locals Mrs. Floyd Osterstock of Lodi, Ohio, spent Tues­ day night of last week with her girlhood chum, Mu. Wuliam O. Dean.

The column, to be called ’•What's Your Opinion?" will give readers a chance to give their view* of points of interest in the community. We have always printed Letters to the Editor and have been happy to do so, but perhaps this column will give others the incentive to offer an opinion - even though it isn't as complete at a letter to the editor. Our desire in starting this col­ umn is to give a place for ideas to be presented and discussed, things one likes or dislikes with the com­ munity, rhnighn for improve­ ment* and changes if they are needed. The rule* for printing these com­ ment* will be similar to those we have maintained for Letter* to the Editor.

Says, in fact, he couldn't go fishing without her! For instance, he swipes her fingernail sanding boards to use in sharpening his fish hooks, sneaks her clear nail polish to touch up chipped spots on his casting lures and to batten down loose guide wind­ ings, borrows" her silver polish to brighten his spoons and spinners, latches onto a loose tablespoon to use as a fish scaler, and uses her vacuum clean­ er with the hose reversed to dry out his soggy boots after he gets home from a fishing trip. She can't even leave a rubber girdle lie around because he has discovered they can be easily cut in­ to skins and strips for enhancing the action of his plugs. Her refrigerator comes in mighty handy for preserving crawfish and nightcrawlers between fish­ ing trips. Her Easter bonnet with feathers is fair game for fly tying. Any kind of fur, from coats to neckpieces, works nicely for tying bucktails on jigs. Her manicure scissors make ideal floss trimmers. The floss? Oh, he unravels that from her hankies or scarves. Round earrings form excellent attractors to ha ng behind spinners. And, all small beads make color­ ful bearings on spinner lures. Yep, be admits, he even takes along her favorite sweater and slacks once in a while. With her in them, of course! Kidding aside, do you know why some anglers seem to have more "fisherman's" luck than others? There's one very good reason. Most anglers invest considerable money in rods and reels, then fail to pay the price in lures that is necessary to catch fish. affliance refair a service ELECTRICAL BUFFLIES & SERVICE HOURS: 8 am to 6 pm 8 am to 8 pm Fridays MISHLER'S APPLIANCE Sales A Service 219 North Main, Nashville Phone 653-3791 Thinking of a New Hair Do?

Mott of the time that is right down on bottom among the rocks and brush that inevitably take a heavy toll in plugs and jigs and other hardware. Loss of tackle is part of the price of fishing. And the willingness to pay this price often separates the amateur from the pro. The latter has learned from long experience that worrying about the well-being of a lure is false economy. Fortunately, not all lures that get hung up are lost A careful fisherman can shake most of them free and all that is lost is a few minutes of casting time. If you must worry about underwater obstacles, be concerned more about finding such spots than avoid­ ing them. When you sun snagging lures you will probably sun catching fish.

Urge physical examination for school age children "Children entering school tor the first time this fall should have a thorough physical examination now, " according to C. Allen Payne, MD, President of the Michigan State Medical Society. "Parents who wait until September make a m istake, " Doctor Payne continued, "because a defect which is found ujwn examination may take some time to correct. " "When a child goes to school he begins an im­ portant 12-year period of social and intellectual de­ velopment, " Doctor Payne said. "If a child is not in top physical condition, both learning and social adjustment can be impaired. " "For example, a child can have a vision defect or slight color blindness without anyone knowing it. Or his ability to hear certain tones may be weak. Since everything we learn comes through our senses',' the Grand Rapids physician continued, "a child can be missing a part of the wonderful world of color and sountfand have an unknown learning handicap.” "Also a pre-school examination can be a time tor - NOTICE At the regular meeting of the Village Council the resolution was passed that the property known as Wheeler Marine Service.

The child maybe having difficulty relating to people or problems con­ nected with obedience,' Doctor Payne continued. "The main reason for an early pre-school exam­ ination, " Doctor Payne concluded. " is to insure time for possible corrective medical work so that each child going to school can use his abilities and enjoy his faculties of learning to the fullest. " The MSMS President also pointed out that a pre- “ school examination affords an excellent opportun­ ity to up-date immunizations against the common infectious and communicable diseases such as pol­ iomyelitis, whooping cough, diphtheria, tetanus, and smallpox. "Of course, " Doctor Payne added, "Immunizations against smallpox, tetanus, diptheria, pertussis, measles, and poliomyelitis, and a skin test for tuberculosis are required for any ch'ild entering school in Michigan for the first time.

Farm News Schedule Beef events , Three top events for Michigan beef cattle feeders and breeders have been scheduled in early Septem­ ber, according to Art Steeby, Barry County Agr’lAgent. On Friday, September 1, the annual Beef Cattle Day will be held at Michigan State University.Steeby says reports on 26 different cattle feeding and housing experiments will be given. On September 6 at the Lyle Cunningham farm in Jackson county, a "Beef Enterprise Mechanization Field Day" wul be held. Cunningham feeds out 2, 000 head of cattle annually, grows 700 acres of com and makes 8, 000 tons of silage, most of it go­ ing into Michigan's largest trench silo. His new feed lot area, where fence line feeding by wagon is carried out, will be demonstrated in the morning. A silage-making demonstration will be held after a noon lunch at the farm. On September 8, says Steeby. an open house will be held at the MSU Agricultural Experiment Station at Lake City. The anunal husbandry department as­ sumed responsibility for the program at this station July 1, and it has become a Beef Cattle and Forage Research Station. Exphasis is being given to studies of cow-calf programs and their management, ex­ plains Steeby. The Barry County Extension office will be able to provide more information to interested beef cattle producers and feeders on these three educational programs. "They are all a part of Michigan State's programs in research and extension to keep Michi • gan farmers competitive," Steeby comments.

We feel sure that much wheat in the farmers' bln is carrying excess mois ture. If this wheat is left too long, it will become musty and weevily and sure to carry a very heavy discount. s~. We, don't wish to scare you into bringing this wheat to town, so to be sure we advise getting a grain prod and getting a good sample of the bin and have it tested, we have the grain prod and we will be glad to test it for you. There will be no charge. If you can't do this, we'll be glad to do it for you. Now - if your wheat should have excess moisture, it should be cried and we would like to have you know that our drying charges are among the lowest in the state. In fact, at some points we're almost paying you for water. Also, we still have storage space available if you ain't wish to sell at this time. CITIZENS ELEVATORS CL9-7225 VERMONTVILLE OL3-8741 NASHVILLE THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN. THURSDAY, AUGUST 10. 1967 T ■OKS �By ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION CIVIL WRONG Core of the civil rights problem is that the A merican public does not yet accept concepts of e­ quality of opportunity on a personal commitment basis. The problem will not be solved until civil rights laws are translated into results, and it must happen at the community leveL Those are the be­ liefs of Burton I. Gordin, Executive Director of the Michigan Civil Rights Commission. This office works with some of the situations blamed for recent race riots: charges of discrimin­ ation in employment, real estate transactions and others. It was created partly to reduce this sort of unfairness and, no doubt, in hopes of reducing pres­ sures between the races. "A short term pessimist; a long term optimist, "is the way Gordin describes himself. The top official in a civil rights organization has one of the toughest jobs in government, Gordin believes. It ranks with mayor, police chief and school superintendent. One measure of success, according to Gordin, is where the criticism comes from. If complaints are voiced by both the minority groups and the "estab­ lishment, ” chances are that the human rights office is probably doing its job. "Success strangles us, “ says Gordin. "The more we do, the more there is demand for our services." The state civil rights office has more complaints about job discrimination than anything else. These account for about 60% of their cases. Office records indicate that about 30% of the complaints have some basis in fact. Most of these are resolved in private concilation. About 70% of the complaints are drop­ ped. Unfair claims regarding housing make up the next largest segment of the office workload. Of these, 47% are dropped and 53% are settled satisfactorily. 1 Lo t of Blouses.', 1/2 OFF REG. PRICE THE FAMILY STORE FREE $198 ■------ BRUSH & A relatively new twist in civil rights movements, agrees Gordin, is the idea that there are more press­ ing issues that integration. More and mote Negro leaders, even if they do so reluctantly, adopt the idea that needed improvements cannot wait for in­ tegration. Integrated education, for example, is not dropped as a necessary goal. But better educa­ tion is vitally necessary right now in minority group areas. Immediacy takes precedence. A similar feeling exists regarding housing. Negro leaders are firm in the conviction that a Negro should be able to move into any neighborhood he can afford. But they see an immediate, severe need for any kind of better housing. Improvement now is the policy. It is desperately needed, and integration must wait until later. The Negro tench to feel, according to Director Gordin, that the fight for equlity in employment and use of public accommodation is largely won, at least in principle. Alternatives to solving the problems of equality for minority groups are so terrible to think of, says Gordin, that we simply must solve them. There has been much improvement in Michigan, and the civil rights director expresses the hope that the pace will quicken. He feels there might be a "polarization of extremes, " with small groups tak­ ing vastly separated positions. But he thinks these groups will be increasingly smaller and that the great middle segment of Michigan society will con­ tinue to bring about overall improvement.

This takes the form of resis­ tance, resentment, challenge and absence of coop­ eration. Officials expect the office to be satisfied when they simply state that there is no discrimin­ ation in face of charges to the contrary. The state office must conduct its own investigation, which irritates some local officials. There is a growing acceptance among police and housing officials for the position of the state civil rights office, especially since many of their inves­ tigations have shown that the police departments are operating fairly and without bias.

Courier reports, that by 1970, teenagers will be spending up to $30 billion each year. And you and I know where that $30 billion is going to come from, don’t we. With that kind of money involved, maybe we should sell the world to the young people and let them pay us an allowance. The Chronicle-Herald of Macon, Mo., defines fencing as: a lively discussion carried on by two human pincushions with use of exaggerated needles. We always thought that it was walking the pasture fence with a hammer and a bucket of staples. In the big cities, there are two kinds of pedestrians, says The Tipton (Iowa) Advertiser. They are the quick and the dead. The Herald of East Moline, HL, laments that modern cars and super highways are built for ever increasing speed, but the driver remains the same old model. It is rather frightening to think that the same model of man who had trouble with one horse, is now allowed to go out on the road with 400 of them. The Lima (Ohio) News reports the sailor who brought his girl to the minister so they could get married. When the sailor discovered that he only had $2 of the customary $5 fee, he said, “Just marry us as far as the $2 goes.” The Wishek (ND.)

Others feel that the surest way to tell a country’s character is to examine the art it produces. Both are probably right, up to a point. But Gourmets have always insisted that the surest way to really know a country and its people is to study their eating habits . . . the food they eat, the way they cook it, and'their attitude to foods and eating habits alien to them. However that may be, the recipes we have chosen, are illustrative of true Jamaica cookery whose ingredients are readily available to our readers. Since fish is very important in the Jamaican diet, we have selected two fish recipes, a snack type dish called Sweet Potato Duckunoo, and a bread called Corn Pone. Jamaican Information Service aided on photos and copy. P SWEET POTATO DUCKUNOO 2 lbs. sweet potatoes 3 tsp. grated nutmeg % lb. brown sugar 1 tsp. vanilla V4 lb. flour % tsp. salt Va lb. raisins 1 Vz cups unsweetened condensed milk Peel, wash, and grate potatoes. Add flour to the potatoes and mix well. Add sugar and flavoring to milk, mixing well until dissolved. Pour liquid over grated potato mixture and combine. Drop by tablespoon on pieces of aluminum foil. Make parcels of each. Place in boiling water and boil briskly for Ufa hours. (Corn meal may be substituted for sweet potatoes.) Serves 12. LOBSTER LIGUANA Meat and shells of 2 lobster tails % cup Soy Sauce Dash of Tabasco sauce 2 tablespoons oil or melted butter 1 cup cooking sherry Mix Soy Sauce, Sherry and Tabasco. Cut the lobster meat intc pieces, marinate in the mixture for at least 1 hour. Drain and place on a flat baking tin. Brush with oil and grill for 10 minutes, 3 inches from the flame, basting frequently with the marinade. Place the lobster meat in the shells. Baste generously with more of the marinade. Grill for a further 2 or 3 minutes. Serve at once in the shells. CORN PONE y4 tsp. mixed spice to cup flour i tsp. salt 1 cup sugar i tsp. nutmeg 3 cups unsweetened condensed milk 2 oz. raisins Sift together flour and corn meal. Blend together sugar, salt, nutmeg, mixed spice and milk. Add to corn meal mixture, stirring until dis­ solved. Pour into greased baking tin. Coat raisins with a little flour, add to mixture. Dot with butter and bake for 1% hours in moderate oven. 2 cups corn meal SPANISH SPRATS 1 dozen sprats (or any small fish . . . smelt, perch, trout} 1 cup finely ground peanuts Cooking oil Salt Black pepper % cup milk Prepare fish as for ordinary frying. Season with salt and black pepper. Dip them in milk. Roll in ground peanuts, covering them thoroughly. Heat oil in heavy frying pan until smoking. Fry fish quickly, turning once, until they are golden brown. Ground almonds are also very good in this dish. Serves 6. • �If you’re trying an instant tea for the first time, be sure it’s IOO% tea. Here’s why: Not all instant teas are 100% tea. Some are half-tea, half-additive. But Nestea is 100% tea. You see, Nestea didn’t want to change the pure tea flavor that made tea great in the first place—we just wanted to make it easier for you to make tea at home. And that’s what we did. Stir up a frosty glass and see how good it tastes. Because Nestea is 100% tea, it gives you all the refreshing lift of the best tea bags and loose teas. But—no dripping tea bags, no strainers, no water to heat for iced Nestea. It’s instant.

Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota hog fanners know just about where we mean. :. But this operation not only produces feeders by the hundreds—he also feeds them right up to market weight with facilities and ideas that rival those found anywhere. Perhaps efficiency, sound principles and past experience is the key to the successful hog operation of Ramaco Farms near Manitowoc, Wisconsin by Elroy Waack. Better than 1800 hogs are finished a year and a herd of 120 purebred Berkshire brood sows is maintained. “We farrow the year round,” says Waack, "except for a six week break starting the middle of November. This gives us a chance to make repairs, clean up and paint up, as well v© as to take a short vacation. Along with the hogs, Waack produces some beef and has 160 acres in corn, 80 in oats and 100 in hay. He is assisted year-round by Carl Haese and in the summer by ]{]©©§ additional part-time help. “We use some of the feed we produce in our beef operation and sell the rest,” explains Waack. “We don’t feel we can afford the time to process our own hog feed. It’s more profitable for us to use quality controlled bulk commercial feed.” 6-Acre Set-Up Because the operation which consists of two farrowing houses, five brood sow pens and twelve growing and finishing units, is spread out over six acres, Waack feels his method of bulk handling feed is more economical than a completely automated feeding system. The money saved by volume buying bulk feed more than pays for the storage and handling units needed in his setup. He uses one 20-ton bulk tank for sow ration, a second for growing ration and a third * KILLS ON |klg|UI V amazing new scientific breakthrough!

Each 40 toot wide pen contains two metal quonset build­ ings — adequate room for 20 sows per pen. �day in and day out The practice has paid off already with a 11.9 average farrowed in the first 21 litters.” To make sure that each brood sow gets her proper ration of food without going to a com­ pete confinement setup, Waack designed ad­ joining 20-inch wide individual metal feeding stalls. These stalls are on an 18-foot wide con­ crete feeding platform which extends across the front of the brood sow pens. The stalls have open fronts to make filling easy and have roofs to protect from snow and rain. The amount of hand fed ration which is delivered to each pen in the morning depends on the stage of gesta­ tion of the sows in that pen. Ideas Galore Each of the five adjoining 40-foot wide brood sow pens contains two 9 by 12 foot metal build­ ings set on a 12-inch mound of hard packed ground limestone to keep the house dry. There is plenty of room for the 20 sows to exercise, which is just as important to good litters as diet and dry sleeping areas. The cost of the entire brood sow setup ran about $75 per sow. "About one week before farrowing, the sows are brought into one of our two 18 stall farrow­ ing houses,” says Waack. “Each house has a washing stall. We scrub down and disinfect each sow as it’s brought in. The pens are also cleaned up thoroughly between farrowings." - The 4te by 14 foot stalls are made of white oak which the hogs won't chew. Guard rails prevent sows from crushing babies. They also contain a three foot wide creep area, which is partitioned off at the front of each stall. These creep areas have thermostatically con­ trolled heating pads below them. Dampness and, to a lesser extent coldness, are the worst enemies of newborn pigs. For the first three days after farrowing a heat lamp is used. Then the heating pads take over. Initially the tern perature is set for 100 degrees. Every day it is lowered about a degree and a half until it is no longer needed. In cold weather the minimum setting is 55 degrees. This thermostat control (as compared to a continually burning heat lamp) cuts the electric bill enough to pay for Jthe gas heater, which is set at 55 degrees and reduces dampness throughout the building. Each stall has its own automatic watering unit Waack hand feeds twice a day while sows are in the farrowing unit Only the little porkers cun get in this part of the farrowing stall. Waack looks over part of a litter that looks like they've been eating well for a few weeks. Neck Shots “One aspect of hog raising that should re­ ceive wider consideration," said Waack, “is the placement of iron shots. I put the shot in the neck about a half-inch from the ear, using a short needle about %-inch long. Because the head moves around, you still get good dissemi­ nation, yet you avoid the chance of staining and spoiling an expensive cut of meat.” The pigs are weaned at six weeks and moved to one of 13 adjoining finishing pens. Even in winter Waack has had no problem moving either sows or feeders from the heated build ings to the outside. The finishing pens, which will handle 300 pigs at a time, are designed for hog comfort as well as efficient feed handling and clean­ ing. Each unit has an 8 by 16 foot house at the rear of an 8 foot wide, 40 foot long concrete runway. These houses are constructed of tongue and grooved boards which extend be low the floor to protect against rodents and wind. The front walls which face south are open. Board floors over the concrete in each house also add to hog comfort in cold weather Drainage is accomplished by a lVi-inch per foot slope in the floors. From the houses the runways slope south­ ward and form a “T" at the front of each lot. On one side of the “T” the 1-ton self feeders are located and on the other side the self waterers. These waterers are the recirculating type which allow liquid supplements and medi­ cines to be added. The water is pumped from a central tank to the individual pens. "Both feeders and waterers are raised on a 4-inch concrete slab,” says Waack. “They waste less feed and their water stays cleaner this way.” * Light Chores A concrete driveway runs along the front of the pens to make filling the self feeders and cleaning the pens easier. A minimum amount of care is required with this setup. The only daily work is an inspection of the hogs. The feeders hold a 4 to 7 day supply of ration and it takes little time to fill them. The pens are cleaned weekly, a job that takes less than an hour. Each of these units, which sends 210 to 225 pound pigs to market in about five months, cost Waack about $900 to have built. Everything considered, the well planned sys­ tem Waack has developed has proved to be an economical balance of maximum convenience, health and litter size with minimum labor and investment.

They were to travel down the Thornapple river, then pick up the Grand river near Grand Rapids and continue to Grand Ha­ ven. It all started when a couple of boys asked M r. Wion to join them on a canoe trip. Mr. Wion at first said "no” because he was doing some painting during his summer vacation. But upon the promise of these two boys, Chris Boughton and Joe Barrette would donate a week's work apiece with the paint jobs, he consented to go. From there things began to mushroom until by Wednesday morning there were 16 ready for the trip in the eight canoes that had been rounded up. Some of the youths had never paddled a canoe before, but what's a 100 mile trip to a novicel Making me trip besides Mr. Wion, Chris and Joe were Dale Fisher, Tom Simons, Stanley Graham, Dick Wion, Raymond Garvey, Kenneth Foote, Dar­ win Foster, Larry Shance, Steven Gaedert, Karl Kane, Gary Belcher, Steven Cates and Dennis Lind­ berg.

The column, to be called "What's Your Opinion?" will give readers a chance to give their views of points of interest in the community. We have always printed Letters to the Editor and have been happy to do so, but perhaps this column will give others the incentive to offer an opinion - even though it isn’t as complete as a letter to the editor. Our desire in suiting this col­ umn is to give a place for ideas to be presented and discussed, things one likes or dislikes with the com­ munity, thoughts for improve­ ments and changes if they are needed. The rules for printing these com­ ments will be similar to those we have mainuined for Letters to the Editor. Comments should be sign­ ed although the name does not have to be printed if you prefer not. We would wish that those sending ideas would consent to printing of the name for we feel if one has an opinion and feels strongly enough to give it, he should also be willing to sign his name and admit that it is his i­ dea or suggestion. Perhaps we could give this ques­ tion out to our readers - "What would you like available in our community which is not now here?' and suggest that comments be made and sent to us for next wee ki paper. Most of the comments we have received this past week were from Nashville residents, but cer­ tainly the same question and the comments should be received from the Vermontville residents. Please send in your comments and p e r haps some new ideas will come about through the column. Celebrates Birthday / MAPLE VALLEY Business Service Bookkeeping & Tax Service DALE H.

Art meeting arranged Those who are interested in forming a Maple Val­ ley art group are asked to meet at the Castleton Township Hall, on Main Street, in Nashville Wed­ nesday evening, August 23rd. Some time ago an article was printed in this newspaper asking for response to the suggestion tor forming such a combined art group between the communities of Nashville ano Vermontville. The response was so favorable that the meeting date was arranged. Mrs. Eunice Priddy, who recently returned to Nashville from Florida where she was active in sim­ ilar art organizations, will attend the meeting and will give information about by-laws, holding art exhibits and other points of interest. Those who are interested in such a group are asked to give their desires along these lines - indicating what particu­ lar things they are interested in and what they would like to do. The meeting will begin at 8:00 p. m. and all in­ terested persons are urged to attend. Classmates gather Members of the Class of 1927 of the Nashville High School met together for the first time in 40 years. This gathering was held Saturday, August 5 at the Clayton Webb home at Tbomapple Lake and 13 of the members of the class were among those attending. About twenty-seven gathered for the potluck din­ ner and among this group were two former teachers of the class. These were Mrs. Leia Roe of Lansing and Mrs. Lahore Ireland and her husband Ray. Ralph Teach, who owns a bakery shop, brought a cake which was decorated with the class motto. Other members of the class who attended, in ad­ dition to Mr. Webb and Ralph Teach, were; Harry Jonnson, Helen Furniss (who helped make arrange­ ments for the meeting), Orville DeBolt, Clayton Johnson, Mabie Powers, Mb.

Among the many items on the agen­ da were the adoption of the budget for the 1967­ 68 school year, and accepting the students of the Gresham school district on a tuition basis for a per­ iod of one year. The Gresham distrwf' north-of Vermontville has an enrollrfiertt of approximately 50 students. They operated their own school last year sending the ir high school students into Charlotte. Since Char­ lotte is not accepting tuition students this year, and there is no teacher available for the Gresham dis­ trict, the Maple Valley board has received a pe­ tition asking annexation to Maple Valley. It would be in September or possibly early October before an annexation vote could take place, thus a repre­ sentation from the Gresham district attended Mon­ day night’s meeting to ask this district to take their students on a tuition basis until a vote could be called. After much discussion the board voted unanimously to accept them, except those seniors who would still desire to finish at Charlotte. The new budget calls for anticipated expendi­ tures of $826, 258. 00. The anticipated receipts, $784, 617. 75, thus leaving the deficit of $41, 640. 25 to be taken from the general fund bal­ ance. Last year's budget called for $7 13, 676. 25. Included in the anticipated receipts would be property taxes in the amount of $156, 909. 60; from the vocational education program including agri­ culture, homemaking and office practice, $3,149. 00; driver education, $3, 950. 00; state aid, FOR SAFE DRIVING LET US Check Your GET THOSE EXTRAS THAT COST NOTHING!

About the worst vacation we ever had was when the two eldest kids were little and we rented a cot­ tage at a lake down iriithe southern part of the state. Of course, we had to make arrangements for the cottage long in advance and it was a beau­ tiful summer right up to the week we went to the cottage. It then turned cold, rained, and blew. The kids couldn't go out of the cottage because it was so cold and wet. The kitten which we took This has got to be the coldest summer we have ad in these parts since the great glacier retreated. Just about every night our furnace comes on and have to get up and bump the thermoter down a otch or so. One of these days 1*11 just let it stay ■n. . Now that we are planning on takine a couple of lays off for a short vacation. I’ll just bet the readier will turn even colder. Somewhere in the ;reat planning board there is a member who sees What’s your opinion. We have a news story in this news­ paper about a meeting scheduled in /ermontville to pursue the possibiliies of forming a Youth Center in his area. In discussing this meeting ind the need for a project such a s his, the following observations were made by Thom Keith, owner of the Sugar Hut Cafe in Vermont­ ville. A meeting held on August 16 was attended by some interested adults and a larger number of interested young people. The opinions express­ ed by these persons (and Mr. Keith) were to the effect that there was a definite need in this area for such a center, or some place where the young people could meet and work ■.ogetner. It was further discussed that should such a project become possible, and a location established, much of the work of the operation and forming of this organization should be conduct­ ed by the youth themselves. They felt this, in itself, would be very worthwhile and desirable to them. We printed a letter to the editor­ in last week's paper which contained a request similar to this- - two girls wrote and stated they wished'there was a place for the young people to to, to dance, to have meetings, peraps to swim. i„ _L_ discussion ”______ ‘ " ' ■ In the with Mr. Keith, apparently * there is sufficii sufficient interest along the line of securing j a swimming facility ofr some sort to make this a ,part of such a projei project. ' The’meeting scheduled for Sept. 23 is open to any and all residents, of both communities, and it is hoped that many young people, as well, will attend the meeting to indicate their desires and willingness to work to gain such a center. Something of this type is not pos­ sible without much hard work, many persons working together toward the same goal, and much determina­ tion. Certainly, a project such a s this must have a start, must b e gj n with an idea, and grow from there. It looks like the Youth Center has a beginning - let's hope the enthusi­ asm will be catching and the coop­ eration of many adults (along w ith the young people) will be sufficient to warrant making plans and pro gress. Know Your Newspaper Better Dear Editor Now This Is What I Think! Did you ever write a letter to the editor? than to be out tn such weather. All-in-all it was quite a vacation. We were cold and wet all through it and there was never a bunch of people happier to get back to the warmth of their own little home than we were. Even the dog was glad.to be home, and she welcomed a chance to swim at almost any time. Of course, just as soon as our vacation was over it sunny. It always does that. Allen Brace me the other day that _ eloped a rooster that lavs eggs. So far as I can see, this is a complete waste of time. I can see no reason why an egg-laying rooster would be any advantage. There is no reason to believe that he will lay better eggs or more of them than the hens do and I’m not at all sure I would even want to try a rooster egg. I'll just bet that the guy who developed the egg­ laying rooster is on a government grant of some sort, and we are helping to pay him for such han­ ky-panky. If the truth were known I'll bet that even the rooster does not take too kindly to this type of carrying on. It would seem that the union will get after them and make them stop this sort of thing.. Both the hen's union and the rooster's union should see to it that it ends with just this one rooster. An entire country full of egg-laying roosters we don't need. He also told me that within a few yean they will have developed a very small chicken which lays great big eggs. They are fooling around with na­ ture. There was also a report the other day that the ' *import- French • wasps which • • they US is going to hope will control the beetle which causes Dutch Elm disease. They are asking for it here too. It just might turn out French politics being that it is today, those darn wasps will take a cue from high up in the gov­ ernment and go around stinging Americans. Big Charlie would like that. Sunday we were driving along M-66 just north of town and Amy saw a big owl sitting on top of a telephone pole. We concluded that he had spent a night out with the boys and just didn't get back be­ fore dawn. Someone told me owls can canY ’t see to fly in the daylight. This poor fellow was probably grounded, or poled until it got dark again. He is going to have some tall explaining to do to his wife when ’ ’ he' does„ get' home. . “You see dear, I started <■out- in ■ plenty of time, but this sparrow stopped , ___me and asked for directions and be offered me *a drink and one tl led to another and before I knew it, dawn had :en." . ► - It's fun to see yourself in print. But actually, you're not writing to only the editor. If he prints your letter—and he probably will—you are really writing to all the thousands of readers of this newspaper. That's a substantial body of readers, but don't let that scare you . . . write as if you were talking to just one of them. I would also like to comment on how nice the park downtown looks now that new shrubs have been put in the circular section of the park. Each one should make it a point to go over and look at the park and see how nice it looks. What Do You Write About? Perhaps you are really mad at the editor Kslrae and want to tell him off on some opinion he has voiced. Perhaps you can't contain yourself any longer on some important local issue. Per­ haps you just like to sound off now and then on topics of current interest. Whatever you choose, the "letters to the editor" column is your opportunity to speak your opinions. We Welcome Good Letters In writing them, please follow the rules printed at the top of the letters column. These ■ rules ask that you keep your letters reasonable in length, reasonable in tone . . . free of de­ famatory matter. Remember, the editor* must "boil down" your letter if loo long, and will take out statements that are libelous . . . even though the letter has your name printed underneath.

TMMMT, AUGUST M, IBM r �--------------------- - VILLAGE OF VERMONTVILLE Concerning: Sewer System Early in Februaitry, 1966, *Stanley Trumble, Village President at ithat time, received a notice from State Water Resources the Michigan C_. _ Commission,. that they found evidence that the drainage system hare in Vermontville was causing contamination to the Thomapple river, and that raw sewage was go­ ing into the river. He was requested to send a rep­ resentative from the ViUage Council to Lansing on February 25th to meet with the Commission. Chas. Viele was appointed to go to this meeting. He re­ ported back to the local council at the next regu­ lar meeting. The village of Vermontville, M ichigan, Eaton County, population 768 persons. Waste from 30 inch sewer, near West Village limit, approximately 200 yards south of Scipio road, are being discharged in­ to an open ditch which drains into the Thomapple river. Bacherial analysis of the waste, made on February 1, 1966, show a concentration of fecal coliform of 75000 organisms per 100 Mi. The dis­ charge was turbid and had a slight odor, an accum­ ulation of black sludge was observed at the outlet. There will be no. action taken against the village at the present time. However, the council knows that before long we will be demanded to arrange for a sewer system. An engineering firm, Williams and Works, of Grand Rapids were contacted and asked to make a survey of the village, and to draw up plan suitable for the village of Vermontville, of a sewer system. On March 25th, 1966, Mr. Kenneth Anderson and Mr. Chas. Olsen of Williams and Works met with the council to present a large map they had pre­ pared to ........ set-up tern. Their thought being that alagoon system would be best here. For this system there Would be the need of about 40 acres of land. The ponds tak­ ing up about 12 acres. The engineering firm offer­ ed several ways as to means of financing such a plan. They suggested applying for a government grand or loan, selling G. O. (general obligation bonds) or revenue bonds. They feel that perhaps we might get a grant from the Farm Home Administra,tion (FHA.) n an application was made right a We were advised way to the FHA for such a ■ i there is a long that this would take some 1 waiting list, but our application was. accepted cor-­ Out first concern at this time is to try and cor rect the condition of the present system; to try to keep the output from the sewers as nearly right with standards as we can. We realize that the present drainage system is old, inadequate for the amount of water it has to take, and that in too many cases, raw sewerage is being emptied into them, t the first meeting in January, 1967, i work, and the village income rather limited, the governing governn body voted to increase the millage from 12. 5 to 15 mills which is permitted by law. This seemed necessary as the cost of labor and materials have risen so sharply. The extra money will also help on the cost of the sewers. At the April meeting Mr. Mills reported that he had received word from the engineering firm that they have already been working on drainage possi­ bilities for Vermontville. They requested a written confirmation on going ahead in drawing up prelim­ inary plans for storm sewers. This will cost the vil­ lage $1, 000. 00. Chas. Viele made the motion that the firm of Williams and Works be advised to go a­ head and prepare the preliminary plan for storm sewers. Motion was supported by Donald Hummel. AU ayes, motion carried. • Our maintenance man is at present working to correct a bad condition on East First street. At the May meeting Williams and Works again at­ tended the meeting. They had forms that had to be signed regarding a federal loan. He also explained how the oxidation system works, lift stations, etc. They presented a resolution they had drawn up. Cleo Prescott made a motion to adopt the resolution a s presented by the firm Williams and Works. Chas. Viele supported this motion. All ayes. Motion car­ ried. . With a large project of this kind the councilmen feel it is necessary to obtain the services of a law­ yer. It was agreed to see if Mr. George Watson, Att would act for the village of Vermontville. Mr. Wat­ son agreed to be our legal advisor. At the June meeting there had been reported a drain problem at the Michigan Magnetics plant on W. Third street. They asked that several council members come and examine the situation. This was e "FALL" Is Here Be the "Head” OF YOUR CLASS WITH A "Teen-Topper" CLOSED WEDNESDAYS HOOTS wuun SHOP done. These men feel that the trouble is not entire­ ly the fault of the village drains, that the Michigan Magnetics should therefor agree to pay part of the cost of the necessary work. It was decided to put in a larger tile. We will ask for bids on the work. Bids to be in by the July meet­ ing. Magnetics also have need for more parking space. They are already using some of the field at the Wa­ ter Works. They have asked for extra space on the lot. Mr. Watson, Att., thinks that a written agree­ ment should be drawn satisfactory to both parties. This should designate the amount of space the Mag­ netics wish to use, type of parking they intend to use and so on. Vernon Trowbridge made a motion to grant Michigan Magnetics permission to put in park­ ing facilities on the village-owned lot, as per Mr. Watson's suggestion, an agreement be drawn up, specifying that at any time the village Water Works have need for the entire lot, the agreement would terminate. This will be set up on a lease basis. Cleo Prescott supported the motion. AU ayes. Motion car­ ried. At this time several places have been suggested as good spots for a sewerage disposal plant. Willi and Works have been advised of this and wishi to send a couple men down, and with at least two of <our men look these places over. One spot in view is south of the railroad on the west side of the road. Clair (Pat) Hager is the owner. He is asking $100.00 per । acre. We received bids for the work at the Magnetics from Albert Ainsworth, Roger Wells and Lyle Ken­ yon. Ainsworth submitted the lowest bid therefor he has been given the job. At tile Sept, meeting, Mr. Anderson and Mr. Ol­ sen of Williams and Works came along with Mr. Lyle Buxton and Wm (Bill) Hill who represent the Farm Home Administration in Eaton County, to re­ port progress on sewers up to this time. Also the prospect of a federal grant or loan for such a pro­ ject. Mr. Anderson figures that the maintenance cost of a sewerage system would amount to approx­ imately $17, 000. 00. It was their thought that a plan such as adopted for the Water Works system be established. It is fully understood that to put in a sewer sys­ tem will cause a big indebtedness to the village, but as both sanitary and storm sewers are needed, they are both to be included in the plan to be drawn up. All work could then be done at one time, thus the streets would have to be tom up only once. This alone would cut the costs. It has been estimated that the cost for storm sewers would add around $70, 000. 00 to the original cost. Mr. Buxton and Mr. Hill assured us they are work­ ing on the behalf of the village of Vermontville to­ ward a grant. Williams and Works have already preliminary plans drawn up. Cleo Prescott made a motion authorizing them to present these plans to the Federal Home Administration for consideration. Chas. Viele supported*tnis motion. An ayes, mo­ tion carried. In looking over the parcel of land south of the railroad, the engineers are sure it is not a good spot. They did agree that a plot of land located on the Anderson road was o. k. It is on the north side of the road, just east of the Frank Dunham property. This land has been purchased from Clair and Grace Ha­ ger at the cost of $8, 660. 00. The oxidation ponds will be at this point. It will be necessary to cross the Frank Dunham property to reach the river flats, where the ponds will eventually empty. The vil­ lage has obtained a Right of Way from Mr. and Mrs. Dunham. * Again in May representatives from both the en­ gineering firm and the Farm Home Administration met with the council They have been working hand in hand toward getting a grant for Vermont­ ville so that we might go ahead with sewers. It seems there are more demands for money from FHA than is available at this time. However, w e were assured that the monies we have spent up till now were not spent in vain. Mr. Buxton wished for an expression from the council, in the form of a resolution, that they proceed with plans to obtain a loan for sewers. Cleo Prescott made a resolu­ tion that Farm Home Administration proqced with loan as previously asked for. Chas. Viele supported the resolution. AU ayes. Carried. We have again been notified by the Water Re sources that they wish to have representatives from the village council meet with them August 29th or 30th, 1967. A second meeting with them was in June at which time they gave us an extension of 60 days. The third meeting wUl be the August one. In August Mr. Watson called for a special coun­ cil meeting. He has been making a study whereby the village of Vermontville might be able to ob­ tain fonts to get started on a sewer system. He sug­ gested General Obligation or Revenue Bonds. A third idea was for special assessment, by vote of the people. Mr. Watson will again, along with a member of the village council, meet with the Water Resources Commission. Mr. Watson feels that we may be faced with court action demanding that the village of Vermontville construct a sewer system. He also feels that an open meeting be called so as to ac­ quaint the citfasem, with an facts concerning this big project. So you see while It is a slow process, work has and to being done to make this project a reality. 1Sc Let* Nagle, Village Clerk If you have... been on a trip... entertained guests ... celebrated a birthday... married your secre­ tary. .. caught a big fish... moved... had a baby.. sold your cows... had an operation__ bought a car... painted your house.. had company.. /been married... cut a tooth... died... sold out... been robbed... been shot...

VOLUME 95 10 Cerm a Copy THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, Village Council votes to rescind rezoning proposal The NashviHe village council Thursday evening voted to rescind a proposal to rezone an area in the southern part of the village from residential and ag­ riculture to commercial The area included the Nashville Locker plant, Wheeler Boat Sales and the Pennock Concrete Block company. There had been heated discussion the past few weeks concerning the three business places which have been in operation many years. Inadvertently, when the new zoning ordinance was put into effect last January 1, this area had been included in the residential area. The council had planned to cor­ rect what they felt was a mistake. But a number of residents of the area, including two of the business­ es who operated establishments there, protested the move to rezone to commercial The only exception was Mb. Clara Seeley, owner of the Locker plant. The dissention came out in a public hearing held two weeks ago. Mrs. Seeley plans to seU her plant to Richard Chaffee. He wishes to reopen the slaugh­ ter house in connection with the plant. This portion of the business had not been in operation since April 1966, although her state permit did not expire until, January 1967. Now Mr. Cnaffee plans to take his problem to the board of appeals, a local group which has been appointed earlier for just such emer­ gencies. He has already had an indication from the state that he can procure a license to slaughter when all specifications are met. The council also approved recommendations made by Donald Langham, administrator or the Zoning and Building department, to charge a fee of $3. uO to check zoning restrictions; $5. 00 for building per­ mits up to $10,000 and an additional $10. 00 for construction costing over $10, 000.

Lawrence Tonkin was named to replace him. Other members of the board are Harold Christiansen and George Vogt. Bills totaling $4, 282 were allowed. THURSDAY, AUGUST 31. 1967 NUMBER 14 John Stark given coveted “God and Country Award” The coveted "God and Country Award" of the Boy Scouts of America was presented to Explorer Scout John Stark at Emmanuel Episcopal Church, Hastings, during the Sunday morning services o n August 27. John is the grandson of Mrs. Gordon M. French, of 434 South Mam Street, Nashville, and a member of Troop 171. He began work on this award a year and a half ago at the Episcopal Church in Mesa, Arizona, completing the requirements during the past year under direction of the Rev. Don M. Gury, Rector of the Hastings parish, who conducted the award ceremony. Requirements for the "God and Country Award” as outlined by each denomination are considered the most difficult of any achievement in Scouting. There are three stages required by the Episcopal Church, each involving specific items of study, worship, fellowship and service. Review of the completed program by a special review board o f the local congregation leads to recommendation to the District Scout Executive that the award be auth­ orized, and the official denominational badge and lapel insignia be presented. John is a 1967 graduate from Maple Valley high school, and he will enter Albion College next week. To discuss sales promotion tember 7th at 8:00 p. m. at the Castleton Township Hall for the purpose of discussing Sales Promotion plans.

Mrs. Barbara Olmstead who went through the fun six grades and men attended Bellevue school; and her great-grandson. Brad, 14, whose early school tag was as a student here. Walter's father, the late Floyd Mapes also attended the Evans school, as did his grandfather, the late Walter Mapes. Mrs. Olmstead’s other three children. Eric, Kurt and Tammy also attended the Evans school - -Photo by Gladys Richardson Eleven persons attended a meeting Wednesday eve­ ning, August 23rd at the Castleton Township Hall and discussed their opinions in regard to forming an > art group with members from both Nashville and Vermontville. Persons attended from both communities and many others were unable to attend because of vacation plans, but had indicated their interest in such an or­ ganization and their willingness to help with such a group. Discussion centered around the probability of classes being held, some activity for those interest­ ed in crafts and hobbies as well as those wishing painting instruction, and the investigation of by­ laws and the proper way for such a group to become organized. Mrs. Eva Arntton from Vermontville offered to obtain information from Olivet College in regard to securing instruction ‘or classes through their Continuing Education department Mrs. Eunice Priddy, Mb.Sena French and Mrs. Amy Boughton will read through by-laws of other groups and make some recommendations for the group along this line. Those attending the meeting were very much in favor of making plans for art shows and exhibits, per­ haps placing pictures or displays in some of the va­ cant stores in both communities and many were pleased with the possibility of securing art instruc­ tion of some type. Mrs Priddy made mention of the fact that when a group is properly organized, witif a membership fee charged, some formal programs are possible with lectures, movies or even art demonstrations a r ranged. Workshop type programs can be set up also. A meeting date will be arranged the latter pan of September and it is hoped that many more persons will be able to attend this meeting. Those attend­ ing are asked to bring some work of an to exhibit, a drawing or painting or anything they might wish to show. The date and meeting place will be a n nounced later. �- One of our favorite people, Ernie Swift, raised an interesting question sometime back.

This includes the study of bird life, plants, flowers and rocks, among other things. By way of comparison, he told of a highway that ran north into Canada.

UNITED FUND ANNUAL MEETING The annual meeting of die Nashville Area Uni­ ted Fund has been set for Thursday, September 7, at 7:30 p. m. at the home of Mrs. Michael Appelman. 335 N. Main. The public is invited. «MaM A day or two over at Port Sanilac gave us a time to once again walk along the beaches of Lake Hur­ on, soak up a bit of sun, pick up pretty stones and watch the gulls cavort. •VM4 This is a busy week for kids, teachers, and par­ ents! The book store at the high school has been a busy place and boys have been out far football prac­ tice Even the band has been out marching. Seems kinds good, although I must add. this is a parent's view, and perhaps others view it differently. Ernie's thoughts along these lines make a person stop a moment for a personal look-see. What are we trying to get from the outdoors? Is it simply lim­ its of game birds or animals we want? Is it a heavy stringer full of fish? If these are our main objectives when we seek recreation in the outdoors, then perhaps we are cheating ourselves. There is no reason why we can't hunt or fish as we always have and add the great big PLUS of en­ joying the other smaller, but no less important, parts of the outdoors. Next time you are in the outdoors seeking relax­ ation, take time to slow down your frantic pace. Take time to watch the antics of a chipmunk, die busy activity of a songbird or perhaps me beauty of a late flower which has been missed by the frost. day of hunting and fishing. NASHVILLE SYRUP ASSOCIATION TO MEET Association will hold an oThe Nashville S’ ay at 7:30 on August 31 at The purpose of the meeting will be discussion of repairing and finishing of the addition to the Sugar Shanty. BACKSTREET BAROMETER A c*II from Frank Ritchie at the Hastings Contumen office Monday gave an explanation for the black-out period this area experienced Saturday evening. It appears that lightning struck a line feeding electrical power to the village on Saturday about 6:00. The power was off for a period of about 40 minutes. We were away for a couple of days and didn't ex­ perience this "black-out", however, we did have to go through the house and re-set all of the clocks which appeared to be a bit behind schedule! "Some have a destination," he said, "but many are urban gypsies vainly looking for a recreational rainbow. They are racing too fart to some unknown Utopia to see the roadside flowers--and couldn’t i­ dentify them if noticed. The birds go unnoticed and unnamed; trees are simply trees with no eye for :iation of Sood or bad forestry practices; an appreciation ind management is as remote as Man. "They are a cross-section of the Great American Public, i he continued, "with a sensitive eye for rootbear stands, nightclubs and rest rooms instead of the vast complex of nature which they are past­ ing through. At a filling station they either ask a­ bout or complain about the fishing. They want to know if there is a resort close by with a swimming pool; and where there is a good place to eat. O n occasion the1 by john boughton It is nice to see some activity being made along the line of working toward a Youth Center. A meet­ ing is scheduled for September 23 in Vermontville, at their park, and all from both communities should plan to attend if they are interested or con­ cerned about a project such as this. This could well be like our school situation. Neither community could do alone what the two communities (c o m bined) could manage easily. The Art meeting held last Wednesday night in Nashville seems to indicate that between the two communities there is a nucleus for a rather good­ sized art organization. Our congratulations to John (O'Malley) Stark on winning the hirfi Scout award, the God and Country Award. We realize this represents much work on O'Malley's part, and certainly be is to be commend­ ed for carrying through with this work. * We have known O*Malley for a time as a neigh­ bor and friend of our children - and we want to add our bit of congratulation. uicHieu tats AUVEJ ^SSZ'^’SS 1.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION states will have sponsored by the d-sell” trade missions abroad. Four­ teen states have found such missions so profitable that they will have sponsored two such missions by the end of this year. Several states have already sponsored three or four. Michigan has sponsored none this year. New York runs a consistent advertising program in foreign newspapers which promotes state products and guarantees that by clipping the enclosed coupon foreign importers will be contacted by New York firms within ten days. The state makes good its promise, says Sen. Burs­ ley. All inquiries are handled by computer system. The first year this system was installed it handled some 50, 000 product inquiries. Michigan representation is poor at foreign shows and fairs. In 1966 sales for companies from other states, represented at 43 shows, totaled $84. 4 mil­ lion; an increase of $20 million over the year pre­ vious. As overseas markets broaden, Michigan's manu­ facturers and producers should be reaping there- * wards. But they are not. Although Michigan now has the nation's "fourth seacoast", the St. Lawrence Seaway, it is still out­ distanced by close-to-home competitors, such as Ohio. In 1966 some 100 Michigan firms particioated in trade fairs or trade-center shows. The number should have been at least five times as large, Sen. Bursley notes. LOSING EXPORTS Michigan is losing $100 million annually by not cultivating overseas markets for its products, esti­ mates Sen. Gilbert E. Bursley (R-Ann Arbor), chair­ man of the international Commerce Committee. Michigan State Senate. This potential increase over the state’s current export total of 31. 5 billion would create up to 5,000 new jobs each year. While other states, notably New York and Califor­ nia, have ve used imaginative and a; aggressive -------- ‘-------------promo­ tion to iincrease world... markets for their .products, Michigan has done little by comparison. FOR SAFE DRIVING LET US Check Your GET THOSE EXTRAS” THAT COST NOTHING! WOODARD S MOBIL SERVICE OL 3-2581 Nashville IP* New from Quality products of Michigan are well known and would be welcome in foreign markets, according to the Senator. Yet, in these fast-rising markets, the state's pro­ portionate share of sales seems to be declining. In 1954 Michigan was the second largest supplier of imports. By 1963, while other states such as New York had doubled their sales abroad, Michigan's in­ crease was so slight as to drop the state to eighth place. Some measures have been taken to increase for­ eign markets.

Agnes Howe attended the Past Matron’s Club of the Eastern Star at the home of Geraldine Wells of Vermontville . On Saturday afternoon she and Edith Jones called on her sister, Mrs. Edith Alsover, at the Medical Facility inChar­ lotte. , Michigan. The World Trade Program of the Michi­ gan State Chamber of Commerce is increasing ex­ port promotion. Export conferences, sponsored by the World Trade Program, the International Com­ merce Committee, the Detroit World Trade Club, and some of the state's major bands and universities have resulted in some awakening of foreign market potential. More needs to be done. Sen .Bursley recommends a five-point program. First, an International Com­ merce Division should be created. The internation­ al activities of the Department of Agriculture and the State Tourist Council should be expanded. A World Trade Advisory Council should be crea­ ted to advise the Governor, Legislature and effect­ ed state agencies on international trade activities of the state and help coordinate international trade programs. A minimum of four industry-organized trade mis­ sions should be sponsored within the next fiscal year. At least two all-Michigan-products shows, one in the Far East and one in Europe, should be staged at US Trade Centers within the next fiscal year. Michigan overseas offices, operating under Com­ merce Department direction, should be established for both Europe and the Far East. Although costly, the benefits of an expanded program would be justified by creating new jobs, new profits, and a rise in living standards. Vast, untapped sources of sales abroad will also lessen Michigan’s economic dependency on the na­ tion's fluctuating demand for automobiles. Michi­ gan has the talent, the products, the industry and the seacoast. All it needs is the promotion. Legal STATE OF MICHIGAN, Probate Court for the Coun­ ty of Barry. Estate of Alma A. Hinder!iter.

Who are the people that need immunization?PHS is specific about it: (a) those 45 years old or more, and particularly those over 65; (b) those who have a chronic illness; (c) patients in nursing homes, chron­ ic disease hospitals, and comparable places; (d) pregnant women. If you are in any of these groups, and haven't. been vaccinated against flu since 1963, you should have the new vaccine--two injections, a month a­ part. If you have been immunized since July, 1963, all you need is a single booster of the new vaccine. The National Tuberculosis Association and your local Christmas Seal organization, dedicated to fighting aU respiratory diseases, recommend early action to protect yourself against the oncoming flu threat if you are in one of the vulnerable groups.

"That time of year" isn't very far off--the winter season with its threats of serious flu outbreaks. This year the Surgeon General of the US Public Health Service, Dr. William H. Stewart, is rather emphatic about the danger. Flu cases may be ex­ pected in "substantial numbers, " he warns. Which flu bug is the bugaboo this time? Much of the trouble is liekly to be caused by type A-2, ac­ cording to Dr. Stewart. Fortunately, we the people aren't defenseless. An improved vaccine has been found effective against disease agent A-2, and promises better protection than any in the past. Meanwhile, back at the Public Health Service, it is urgently suggested that those in need of flu immunization should take care of the matter right after October 1st if possible.

Harry Rizor on Friday, September 8. A dessert luncheon will be served at 1:30, followed by the regular meeting. Mb Boyd Olsen, acting chairman tor the month of September, wUl preside. On record in the Eaton County courthouse, Char­ lotte, is the lease drawn up back in March 1844 for a section of ground which was to become the s i te of the Evans school house. The lease called for "consideration of six cents" which was to be paid annually. Since that time school has been held in the Ev­ ans district each year with the exception of 1 94 6 when, because of World War II. there was no teach­ er and the students were sent into Bellevue. Students came and went, and for many of the "oldtimers" the eight years they attended the Evans school was all the education they ever received. In later years the upper grades—seventh and eighth-were transferred to Bellevue. Last spring the district voted to consolidate with Bellevue, so when school opens next week the doors on this little rural school will remain closed. The first Evans school, located on Butler road, was built in Kalamo township, southeast of Nash­ ville, just over the Barry county line in Eaton county. Then in 1880 the present school was built across the road and about a half-mile farther east, in Bellevue township. The early records have been destroyed, but there are records which go back to 1866. They relate that 2 mills were raised that year. Sketchy records states that the teacher in 1866 was Rachel Day. She re­ ceived $70. 00 for three months teaching. In 1883 the lease was raised to 50 cents per year which it has remained since. In 1899 two loads of gravel. A meeting will be held at the Park in Vermont­ ville, Saturday evening, September 23rd for the purpose of discussing the possibility of forming a Youth Center of some kind for the youth of the ar­ ea. The meeting wUl begin at 7:00 p. m. and in case of bad weather, the meeting will be held in the Opera House. A meeting was held August 16th to discuss this project, but because of insufficient publicity, the meeting was poorly attended. Dick Lewellyn has been named the temporary chairman although no committee has been named at this point. Some of the points to be discussed at this meet­ ing will be possibilities of planned programs for the young people, both summer and winter activities, obtaining a building or a meeting place, discuss­ ing swimming facilities. It has been emphasized that all interested per­ sons, whether they live in Vermontville or Nash­ ville, adults or young people, are urged to attend the meeting. It is hopeful that something can be worked out between the two communities which will prove beneficial to all the young people.

All too soon the golf season wiu be over and there will be no excuse for goofing off in the o­ pen. Each year the summer seems to go faster, perhaps because each year I grow just a bit older and the prospect of snow and ice is not the most pleasant thing for me. The world is now full of the sounds of cicadas, crickets, frogs and other animals that sing at the end of the summer. Perhaps I too should sing. All summer I have been employed by an outside agency. I have been working over in Lansing, driv­ ing back and forth every day of the week. That job is finished now and I'm back in Nashville. The paper ran so well without me though, that I see no real reason to come back on a full time ba­ sis and squirrel things up. So I have taken on some free lance work to keep myself occupied. The papers are all taken up with the fact that the Swedes have decided to drive on the right side of the road. This leaves the British the only large hold-out for the left hand side. They are going to have troubles with the British when they finally come around to driving as other people do ( on the right side) because of the dogged determination of the people to do things in the tra­ ditional way. The Swedes should get through it without too much trouble because they seem to be an ordered people who can change when the change is indicated After all they have led the world in new techniques of engineering. They have been way out front in social changes and this bit about driving on the other side of the road should not re­ ally get them. Things were different in Panama though. There they had to put up with the Latin temperment. The drivers in Panama City back in those days (it was during the war) all drove with a gay abandon. The brakes were used seldom. There seemed to be a felling among the Panamanians that to use the brake was a badge of dishonor. The horn was used in place of the brakes. The driven there seemed to De under the impression that the sound of the horn was a beautiful symphony to be enjoyed most­ ly by the driver of the car. If a pedestrian stopped long enough to enjoy the music of the horn, the next music he might hear would be that of a harp. The type of driving there can be explained best by a little illustration told me by a friend I met in the hospital Panama is a rather mountainous country peopled with driven to whom speed and economy were of the utmost importance. For yean the great prepon­ derance of automobiles in the area were Chevro­ lets. Somehow Chevrolet and Singer Sewing Ma­ chine had gained a foothold to the point that in a village out in the jungle with no roads in and no roads out there would often be an ancient ()perhaps late twenties or very early thirties Chev.) and sev­ eral treadle-operated Singers. The Chev would have a big TAXI on the side of it and would be parked in a prominent place in the center of the village. Many of them didn't even have an engine and most of them hadn't been operated in yean. It was a mark of distinction though, for a village to have a taxi. What the people did with the Singer Sewing Machines I'll never know, but I have seen Indian women in the remote jungle, in Darien coun­ try where there was commerce in human heads, walking down the path with a portable Singer on their heads. But back to the automobiles. The Chev was so popular there that every car-­ Ford, Buick, Cadillac or what have you in the way of a European make- was called a Chiva. This friend of mine was in the hospital because he was riding on a bus from Colon to Panama City, a trip of about 70 miles over mountainous highway. He was in a native Chiva, which was actually a 1937 Ford truck chassis with a bus body on it. The Ford of that year had a devise on it which locked the steering wheel when the ignition was turned off. This is something that few people of today would know. It was also something that the driver of the vehicle (he was used to Chevs.) didn't know either. As an economy move the driver turned the igni­ tion off at the top of a mountain. He figured on sav­ ing gas on the long ride down the slope. He didn't figure on a lockedwheel, though, and it came as a by john boughton source of surprise to the driver and a source of irri­ tation to the passengers to be air-borne at the first turn. My friend said it is a wonderful thrill to be in a Ford, which was referred to as a Chiva and which had the name Saraphina lettered on the side, fifty feet above the tree tops. My friend was the only one who was injured, though three pigs and a few chick­ ens escaped to the jungle. With this type of driving the change from one side of the road to the other was no great shakes to the Chiva-driving Panamanians, they still drove right down the center of the road. What’s your opinion? The following article was sent in by Gene Mater and was written as an editorial in the Nation's Agri­ culture magazine, September 1967 issue. We re print it here with Gene's comment istatlng he thought it was "a good picture of the American philosophy." . _ t>ome years ago, through this same column, w e wrote an open letter to the brewing industry, sug­ gesting that it would be a wonderful public rela­ tions gesture on their part to do something about the litter problem. We pointed out that a reminder from the brewers, printed on each six-pack or even on the bottle o r can would help in cutting down the number of dis­ cards along the highways or in scenic areas. We felt then, and still do, that most people toss cans and bottles and other litter through utter thoughtlessness. Various segments of the brewing industry did not take too kindly to our writings. Their public rela­ tions people took pen in hand and wrote some of the most blistering letters we have ever received. In short, they all contained the same thought, to wit; "Why in the blankety-bla ik don't you mind your own business, Charles?” No one who bothered to write felt an outdoor writer should be concerned with keeping outdoor beauty litter-free. How about that? Well, fortunately, ideas do change, as do public relations people and we are happy to report that some segments of the brewing industry are coming; around in fine shape. In faet, we are going to men­ tion a couple of names because they are obviously concerned with public service motives. Just prior to the July 4th holiday, the Schlitz Brewing Company of Milwaukee ran several ads in major magazines. They showed a lovely lakeside scene anti posed the question: "How would an emp­ ty beer can look here?" Then follows: "Or old soda jx>p bottles? Or watermelon rinds?" Their plea was merely a reminder to the thoughtless American who unthinkingly litters our beauty spots. A couple of years earlier, the Adolph Coors Com­ pany of Denver put on a public relations program that resulted in their redeeming over 12 million al­ uminum beer cansl And, this despite the fact that the cans had a salvage value of only one-half cent apiece. A similar program, aimed at empty beer bottles, resulted in a return of over 75 percent of the tout bottles distributed! Efforts of these two public-minded companies have undoubtedly resulted in the elimation of many millions of bottles and cans from our roadsides. And, when you stop to consider that it costs between 35 and 50 cents apiece for each item of litter picked up by a highway clean-up crew, the tax savings are tremendous. Perhaps there are other segments of the brewing industry who are also taking a new look at this growing problem of litter. It so we would like to give them credit, too. OF COURSE, I believe in fighting poverty. I've been con­ ducting a campaign along that very line all my life. Results are not outstanding, so far. In this country we have some catching up to do, in our treatment of minority groups. But I’D be darned if I can get enthusiastic about using my tax money to get everybody on the Great Society standard of 160 a week, three trips to the dentist each year, and a two-week va­ cation trip! There’s nothing wrong with these goals, but they don't seem as desirable to everybody as th^ do to some of our social planners. TAKE MY FRIEND DALLAS. He doesn't live in an under­ developed area. He is not in an emerging nation. He lives where automobiles are thicker than fleas on an Arab’s dog, and he is a good mechanic. He could be earning two or three times that 960, but he doesn’t. Why? Because he has a natural aversion to time clocks and work schedules. They interfere with things more important, such as fish­ ing, farm auctions and highway watching. Dallas seems to enjoy whatever he's doing at the moment. He can spend hours watching America speed by his porch, on the way to various social and business appointments. He knows I don't approve of the way he runs his life, so there's no point in going into it THEN THERE’S BILL, in a little house at the foot of tire hilL Bill's a slave to drink. Anything with alcohol in it, and tire more the better. Fortunately, he has no family. He has three brothers, and all of them have lectured and scolded and begged, and they've sicked the preacher on Bill They’ve all given up. I know Bill's to be pitied, and I know he is not doing his share in our society. But he’s doing all he wants to do, and all he wiD do. Fm not going to beat myself over the head because he lives at the sub-poverty level! I READ ABOUT a mountain family that lives so far up the valley that there never has been a road, in an area where there are no jobs and no land level enough to grow a farm crop. The father had worked for three years in a big city, but he didn't Hke the bustle and the noise. He had come back home to live "because it's so pretty up here." No doubt it is. If that's his choice, and if this truly is a free country, let’s respect his decision. To tell the truth, there are days when I envy Dallas and Bill and the man on his mountain. And Ill be blamed if I want to give up some of the few dollars I get to keep, to try to make them over in a standard mould!

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, SEPTEMBER 7, 1967 �Women en r- Ig Just returned from a most enjoyable 1, 750 mile, 9-day trip ate Mrs. Suzanne Milett, Garden City, Mrs. Audrey Schulte, Detroit, Miss Maud Shafer, Bronson, and Mrs. Mildred Mater and Mrs. Hilda Baas, Nashville. In Illinois at Moline they saw the currem and historical John Deere products and the Girard Mural at the new Deere, Deere and Company Administration Center. In Rock Island they saw the Arsenal Muse­ ... conuins one — of... -----urn which the(largest military arms collections in the Mississi Valley, Lock and Dam No. 15, historical si on the island and Blackhawk State Park located on the site of the cspitol of the Sauk and Fox Indian nations w he re the rough hewn stone building, Hauberg Museum, con­ tains many Blackhawk items. In Galesburg, they visited the Carl Sandburg Home and in the back yard saw "Remembrance Rock” under which by his request his ashes will be buried. "Remembrance Rock”, a historical novel, was die only novel he wrote. Galesburg is also a railroad center and has the largest railroad yard in the world. It is also famous as the home of many inventions such as .au­ tomatic coupler for trains, com planter, street sweeper, ferris wheel to name a few. At Nauvoo wi with a guide in their car they visited the historic Mormon country. They toured and saw the Joseph Smith Homestead, the Mansion House, the Sunstone ■ which was 1 of 30 sunstones in the Nauvoo Temple, which was destroyed by a tornado when the Icarians were using it for non-religious activities, the mu­ seum, Brigham Young Home, the Windy Lane flour mill, factory where famous Nauvoo Blue Cheese is made, winery, home of famous old Nauvoo wines, quarry where white sandstone for making the tem­ ple was quarried, site of Gov. Romney's great, great grandfather's home and many other interesting Buildings. Now the Mormons are buying many acres in and around Nauvoo and paying fabulous prices for them. They won't say why tiiey want the land. At Cahokia they saw the old Cahokia Courthouse, old­ est courthouse west of the Alleghenies, built shortly after 1737 which served as the seat of justice for the early Louisiana Territory and the Old Church of the Holy Family which was built in 1799 and is the oldest church west of the Alleghenies. They visited Fort de Chartres which was built in 1753 by the French when they left Michigan. It was the last for­ tification in North America to lower the French flag. The original magazine is carefully preserved. All original foundations are preserved and a few build­ ings have been rebuilt. It was capable of housing 400 men. On the Kaskaskia River, Fort Kaskaskia State Park contains the earthworks and foundations of the old fort. The town of Kaskaskia founded in 1703. the first capitol city of Illinois, the seat of government during territorial, days, nothing remains today. In 1778 when George Rogers Clark took KasKask La from the British, he helped to win back the Northwestern States from the British. At Vandalia, they visited the State House and signed the register with a quill pen. Abraham Lincoln served here in the legislature and was largely responsible for mov­ ing the capital to Springfield. They were also hav­ ing a sidewalk sale such as is held in Hastings. In Iowa at Burlington, they enjoyed a trip through Radio Station KBUR and the Northwestern Bell Tele­ phone Co. At Keokuk, named after Chief Keokuk of the Sac and Fox Indians, they visited the Tow­ boat George M. Verity river museum which is berth­ ed in Victory Park, watched boats and barges lock through new Lock 19, the largest on the Mississippi, toured the Keokuk Dam and Power House which, when completed in 1913, was the largest man-made hydro-electric plant in the world. In Missouri at Hannibal they surely enjoyed Mark Twain's boyhood home, museum, Becky Thatcher SEED WHEAT House, Pilaster House, Lighthouse, Memorial Bridge Tom and Huck Statue, Riverview Park with Statue of Mark Twain and a trip through the Mark Twain Cave in which buried treasure was found, Tom and Becky were lost, and Injun Joe died. In St. Louis they toured the Missouri Botanical Garden (also known as Shaw's Garden) with more than 70 acres, one of the most beautiful and unique botanical gar­ dens in the world. In the famous Climatron, the first geodesic-dome greenhouse.ever built specially designed air conditioning and weather controls pro­ duce weather according to the needs of the exhibits. The tropical plants, water fall, jungle, pond and even a fish pool together with the orchids, water lilies, rose garden and giant Amazonian Victoria Lilies were beautifuL In Forest Park we rode on a train through the 83 acres of Zoological Gardens, one of the largest in the world, saw the Jewel Box, a great palace of glass with its fabulous shows of flowers and plants and 6 acres of roses in a formal garden outside, saw the new McDonnel Planetarium and enjoyed a trip to the top of the 630 foot Gate­ way Arch, tallest memorial structure in this coun ­ try which is the dominant feature of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial They enjoyed a nar­ rated tour on the diesel-powered motor vessel the Huck Finn, a replica of 19th century sternwheelers. In Missouri they were able to get some unusual rocks called geodes which are nothing more than a round stone and when split open reveal an interior lined with sparkling quartz crystals. In Indiana they visited historic Vincennes. The George Rogers Clark State Memorial is erected on the Wabash River near the Lincoln Memorial Bridge on the site of Fort Sackville which Clark captured and commemorates the winning of the old North­ west by CoL Clark who was 27 years old and his frontiersmen who numbered about 170 men in the war of the American Revolution. Clark gave all his personal fortune to outfit the group and died a poor man. In the rotunda is an impressive statue of George Rogers Clark and lining the walls are seven beautiful murals of history of the surrounding ter­ ritory. They saw the replica of the first log church in Vincennes. They saw the replica of Elihu Stout's Printing Office, home of the Western Sun" first printed as "The Indiana Gazette" in 1804. Lincoln first mw a printing press here in 1830. They also mw the First Capitol of Indiana Territory which was established in 1800 and contained Indiana, Ill­ inois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota. Michigan didn't like this arrangement because it was so far to go to Vincennes to the capitol and so in 1805 Michigan became a territory. They toured "Grouseland", National Historic Landmark, built in 1803-1804 by William Henry Harrison, first Governor of Indiana Territory and 9th President of the United States. In Indianapolis they took an ele­ vator to the top of the Soldiers and Sailors Monu­ ment on Monument Circle. They visited the Indi­ ana World War Memorial Plaza. The main build­ ing "The Shrine" is beautiful and Memorial Hall, on the second level is considered one of the most stately, beautiful shrines in all the world. They mw the homes of James Whitcomb Riley, the be­ loved "Hoosier Poet" and Benjamin Harrison grand­ son of William Henry Harrison and 24rd President of the United States. They enjoyed a lap in a small bus around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway 2 1/2 mile track where each Memorial Day the famous " 500" is run. They mw the place in the pit with the name Gordon Johncock and the museum which exhibits the fiat winning race car and many of its successors. The group came through Nashville, Illinois and [; ate and’ shopped. stoi ' All together they had good weather, motels, food (southern fried chicken) and a most enjoyable trip. The Maple Valley Band Boottea have on band a new shipment of Zip Code books. They are avail­ able at Dome Drugs and Modern Beauty Salon in Nashville, and at the Citizens Elevator on S. Main Street.

DETROIT - Michigan’s archers, when they take to the woods this autumn to bring down deer, will be following an Indian tradition hundreds of years old. “With their handmade bows —the favorite weapon they had for bringing down the fleet­ footed creatures — Michigan Indians did a more effective job than their emulators of to­ day,” says Wayne SUte Uni­ versity archivist and historian. Dr. Philip P. Mason. “They had to. They were looking for the food they needed for survival, and they hunted the year around, learn­ ing more about deer and their habits in a few months than modern archers learn in a life­ time.” The Indian bows were made of hickory or ash. for the most part, and their strings were twisted hides or the guts of various animals. The shafts for the arrows were made prin­ cipally from hard wood and fitted with finely chipped flint, bound with gut and resin. "These arrowheads, prized by finders today, can be found anywhere in Michigan, for all Indian tribes used bows and arrows,” says Dr. Mason. "And they used them on deer, bear, moose, elk, buffalo, beaver, rabbits, squirrels, wildfowl and even fish."

Fargo is one of the few gasolines made in Michigan for Michigan drivers driving in Michigan... and you save money. the Ottawas who lived in Northern Michigan, used short, powerful bows while the Wyandots or Hurons used the long bow, which was influenced by their contact with Indians from New York and the East. Michigan's modern bow hunters, using bows made of fiberglass or of laminated woods, hunt the full gamut of Michigan game, from bears to fish and fowl. Deer are the big target every fall, with a season which in re­ cent years has run from Octo­ ber 1 through November 5. All counties have had the same season except Allegan, where it has run October 1 through December 15. In certain coun­ ties does and fawns have been protected from the arrows. Bears may be taken with bow and arrow, but the season and areas are carefully pre­ scribed. In recent years, the bow-hunting for them has been legal in all parts of the Upper Peninsula except the Kewee­ naw Peninsula, from Septem­ ber 1 through September 15 and October 1 through Novem­ ber 5. In 1965 and 1966 they re­ ceived complete protection in the Lower Peninsula. Indians hunted the bear fear­ lessly, but few modern day Michigan archers molest him. Game men estimate that kills range from only “two or three bears” per year to “less than 25.” Photographs available Because ut the numerous requests regarding pic­ tures, the following points should be made.

MICHIGAN, SEPTEMBER 7, 1967 Pkai* 251 7231 �To discuss sales promotion By ELMER E. WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION BIG BUSINESS Over a billion dollars was spent by tourists i n Michigan during 1966. Using the "tourism multi­ plier, " which shows that each dollar spent is "re­ spent" three and one-third times before leaving the community or state, the tourist industry war directly responsible for marketing about $3. 5 bil­ lion in goods and services. William T. McGraw, director of the Michigan Tourist Council, estimates that the 1967 season will easily top last year’s figure. The tourist in­ dustry, second only to the state's manufacturing industry, expands by about 10% annually. In five yean the industry has increased more than SO1# from $650 million to the present level. Michigan ranked fifth among the states most visited in 1966. Indications this year, however, seem to assure Michigan's moving closer to the number one spot Tourism affects ev< in one way or another, neats in Michigan are directly involved in serving the needs of tourists. Many Michigan companies engage in the manu­ facture of sporting goods, automobiles, travel trailers, food products and other commodities which result from tourist spending. Property taxes from cottage owners who live out-state bring in public monies with little or no accompanying de­ mand for governmental services. Gasoline and sales taxes provide revenue for Ihighways and schools. In 1966 tourists paid more than $70 mil­ lion in direct state taxes. increases in tourism can be generally attributed to many factors; more leisure time, more spendable income, better transportation facilities, etc. Rapid growth in Michigan's tourist trade can be attributed to a unique method of promotion, maintains the Michigan Tourist Council Michigan links together the state efforts with those of regional local and individual programs to exact the most from its promotional expenditures. The Michigan Tourist Council policy board is ‘ ' the Goveicomposed nor and th regional tourist associations. Entirely state-support­ ed; this organization promotes and advertises tour­ ism generally throughout the state with a budget of $751,43L The four regional associations, Upper Michigan, West Michigan, East Michigan and Southeastern Michigan, operate on a match-money basis from state and local funds. Each association assesses dues and promotes its individual areas to tourists. State funds can be used only for promotional purposes, not for administrative costs. The 1966-67 budget called for $375, 000 from in­ dividual business firms and $176,000 from the state Additionally, local businesses and chambers of commerce work locally to promote tourist business. About $3 million will oe spent in 1967 for this pur­ parpose. Neither the state nor regional associations act as "policing agencies. ’ Their sole function is to pro mote tourism. Complaints are referred directly to the establishment involved. No threat of expulsion from the association or punitive measures can be used, although letters accompany the complaint and point out the need for cooperation. There are com­ paratively few complaints, says the Council Once a seasonal business, the tourist industry has grown into year 'round activity. Skiing brought 270, 000 persons to Michigan's ski slopes last* w in­ ter in addition to several hundred thousand ice fish­ ermen, snowmobile enthusiasts, sightseers, etc. Skiers alone spent more than $28 million, an in­ crease of 30% over the 1965-66 season. In the face of stiffer competition from other states, the tourist council has requested increased funds for the 1967-68 fiscal year. A goal of 1. 5 billion recreation dollars by 1972 can be reached, notes the Council, by " advertising and publicizing Michigan's vacation advantages with imagination and efficiency. " Increased funds are also requested for regional budgets and the transfer of highway information lodges from the highway department to the tour 1st council has been asked. Other suggestions include: creation of a Michigan State Department of Travel, anti-litter messages be put on all one-way beverage containers, an ex­ WE ALIGN WHE&S HERE'S WHAT WE DO! A meeting will be held Thursday evening. Sep­ tember 7th at 8:00 p. m. at the Castleton Township Hall for the purpose of discussing Sales Promotion plans.

All interested business people in the community are encouraged to attend this meeting to help for­ mulate some plans for such an event.

Heap high the golden corn! No richer gift has Autumn poured From out her lavish horn! �hat writer who takes on the task of chance for the lighter gun man to pick up an alibi — the bird flew through the pat­ shotguns is a fool. He might better write about wives; there being as tern.) much variation and personal preference in At 30 yards, a full choke gun should give women as there is in shotguns; and less in­ you a pattern about 26 inches in diameter; clination on the part of most shooters to a modified choke, one of 32 inches; and an defend the merits of their respective wives improved cylinder one of 38 inches. than there is to speak up in defense of a favorite shotgun. It is important that a shooter knows how his shotgun patterns at various ranges. However, it is that time of year when You can learn this most easily by measur­ shotgun talk echoes through cornfields, ing off ranges and shooting various loads tagalder thickets, country taverns and into wrapping paper tacked onto a wooden chilly duck blinds. It is, therefore, under­ standable that a writer run-off-at-the-type- ' frame. ■ _ -w T discussing writer with a few shotgun thoughts and a brief look at some of the basics of the scattergun. You are cordially invited to peruse for ammunition to load your next shotgun argument, or to explain away an unbeliev­ able “miss” of a fat greenhead or a cack­ ling cock pheasant. We shall start first with “gauge”—that term used to denote the size of a shotgun’s bore. “Gauge" originated in the early days of shotgunning. It means the number of balls in a pound of lead, one of which will pass through the gun barrel. In the 12 gauge, for example, if a pound of lead was divided into 12 equal balls, one of these balls would just pass through the bore. A 20 gauge gun would accept a lead ball running 20 to the pound. An exception is the .410 gauge shotgun in which the .410 designates the actual size of the bore—410/1,000 inch. By compari­ son, a 12 gauge bore is .775 of an inch. The gauge of your shotgun determines the density of your pellet pattern; the size of the pattern is determined by the “choke” of the gun. Choke is, as the term desig­ nates, a constriction of the end inch or two of the barrel This constriction of the muzcloser together in flight Chafca designation is generally: full, modified and improved, with full choke As a general guide, a full choke gun shooting 280 pellets of No. 6 shot, should place about 196 of these pellets inside a 30inch killing circle at 40 yards, and 108 pel­ lets inside the same size circle at 55 yards. The choice of shot size is probably re­ sponsible for more scatter gunning debates than any other factor. There will be thou­ sands of such debates this fall and it might be said that never have so many said so much to so many and convinced so few. It is an excellent idea to get out to the trap or skeet range well in advance of the hunting seasons to limber up creaky swing­ ing muscles. With a few rounds of target busting under your belt, you will feel more at home with your shotgun when the first bird explodes out of cover or comes whis­ tling over on the crest of a stiff north wind. And “whistle” they do. A canvasback flies at from 90 to 150 feet per second. It’s a wonder we ever hit one of them. Other foot-per-second speeds are: mallard—50­ 90, teal — 80-100, ruffed grouse — 85-75, mourning dove — 50-120, Canada goose — 70-100, pheasant—49-90, crow—30-60. Some of us are going to be so intimidated by these speed facts that we will come away with nothing more than a sore shoul­ der. But here too, there is room for debate and some statistics to flavor it with. For example, a 12 gauge magnum shooting a three-inch shell in an 8 pound, 12 ounce three inch shell locks to the tune of 28 foot n you will. Not as a means of en­ tering into the debate, but rather to urge the participants on to great­ er heights, the following information is offered as it comes from the Rem­ ington people: Ducks—Use No. 4 shot for long range and pass shooting. For normal range, No. 5 or No. C shot. Some hunters use 7% for closer range shooting over decoys. Geese—Goose hunters need wallop to fold up their birds so they use the big loads with large shot. Many hunters pre­ fer No. 4 over BB and 2’s for a denser pattern. Pheasant — For corn­ field shooting where long shots are usual, better use No. 5. On a normal rise over dogs and for all around use, No. 6 is the favorite. Bigger shot may be dangerous when hunting in a group. Grouse or partridge— On the smaller birds such as ruffed grouse or Hun­ garian partridge use the smaller 7^ or 8 shot. The big western grouse will call for No. S or 6 shot. with large shot. Many hunters prefer No. 4 over BB and 2’s for a denser pattern. Quail—For early sea­ son shooting on bob­ whites when feathers are light some hunters use No. 9 shot. Later they switch to No. 7^ or No. 8. Doves and pigeons— You can do a good job on mourning doves at nor­ mal ranges with No. 7*& and 8. Longer ranges call for heavier loads. W oodeock— Your choice of shot sue will de­ pend on ranges at which your game is shot. For fast shooting in the aider thickets No. 8 shat is a good choice. Rabbits—For cotton­ tail pfsbbits at normal range, the 5’s and B’s are suitable, but for larger game such as jack rabbits and snowshoe rabbits use heavier loads such as No. 4. Squirrel — Most hunt­ ers use the No. S or No. 6 shot and prefer the heamer leads in the tail timber. Fox—It’s a toss-up be­ tween BB'e and No. 2 shot. But, remember— the smaller the shot the denser the pattern. YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT... �The Wabasha (Minn.) County Herald advises ' hat.

As the legend goes, this royal Briton had his meat brought to him between two slices of bread so that he wouldn’t have to leave the gambling tables at meal time. For some of these 1967 mod­ el sandwiches, we’ll wager, he’d gladly interrupt his game. Add some of these extra sur­ prises to a Sandwich Lunch. Bits of sweets: jam turnovers, semi­ sweet chocolate morsels, favorite cookies, miniature marshmallows. Something to munch on: cheese balls rolled in chopped walnuts, dried apricots, peanut buttered honey graham crackers, tiny box of raisins. T THE SANDWICH­ MAKE IT DIFFERENT by Betty Stem.

The old Detroit Tigers had the world by the tail, and could have made themselves heras.but they dropped the balL Just when they had things going their way they allowed those big city fellers from Chicago stomp them twice in a row. Now they have to pick themselves up and go back at it again. Time is running out though. On the other hand, our governor seemed to have things going his way when ne made a statement that got the entire country up in the air. A few days ago he was being touted as the front runner for the GOP nomination. Now, after just one statement, the big papers are dropping Romney like a hot potato and again have gone to shouting for other, lesser lights, to show the way to the Republican party. Much of this seems to have come after the good Governor made, a statement that he had been brain­ washed while tie was investigating the war. What is so bad with a washed brain? I know a fel­ low who is often referred to as a "dirty minded old man". That is a lot worse than having it said that you were brainwashed. I must admit the Governor did make a little mis­ take. He said something he really didn't mean and now he has to spend days of his time trying to ex­ plain what he really did mean. No matter what he says now, he has lost some ground and it will take a lot of talking to gain it back. For some reason everyone expects a politician to always say the right thing at the right time. The real old pros at the game seem to do just this. I f one thinks about it a bit though, he must come up with the conclusion that the real old pros seldom say anything at alL They talk a lot. They use up a lot of language but they seem to say darn little in the process. If a politician can talk for a half hour without saying anything while he uses a lot of flowery lan­ guage be seems to gain points. Everyone sits back and remarks on what a beautiful speech it was. Romney is going to hive to learn to talk more and say less if he expects to stay in it with the pros. The American public does not seem able to cope with a politician who changes his mind. There is really no reason that Romney had to say he was brainwashed. All great men change their minds. He could have said simply, "I have changed my mind," He had learned by this time though, that in poli­ tics one can not just change his mind. A politician must get with it and stick to his guns even if he is wrong. To admit that he has changed his mind is to admit that he must have been wrong in the first place. It is a funny game. VARSITY FOOTBALL by john boughton in the legs of the person wearing (if that is the cor­ rect word for what one does with a miniskin) the costume. I have to agree with this woman that it might cause some rheumatic pains but I think they would come in the badly craned necks of the observers of the dress rather than settling on the wearer of them. I myself have experienced sharp pains in the neck after walking down the street in Chicago watching the minis swish by. A friend of mine tells me that he used to see many strange objects in the sky. He was an ama­ teur flying saucer looker. He spent hours with his head tipped back watching for little visitors from outer space. This friend tells me that he never real­ ly saw a saucer but he did observe some unusual . birds, some strange bits of debris being blown a bout and some mighty pretty cloud formations. Ol’ friend tails me though, that since the advent of the mini he has not seen the sky. He says you couldn't prove by him that the trees even have leaves any­ more. He is a devoted miniskirt watcher. Anyway, this woman says that the economy o f the country could be blown sky high by the mini­ skirt. I can't help but agree with her there. She has a point. It is her contention that men going to work and seeing a bunch of sweet young things in minis walk­ ing down the street get so shook up that they can't forget the minis ana remember what they were sup­ posed to be doing in the way of work. Another way they wreck the economy according to this gal, is that the textile industry will suffer because they will sell so little for each skirt. She has a point there. There seems to be a law of eco­ nomics that takes care of this in a free economy though. Have you ever priced a bikini? Never have so many paid so much for so little. What ever this dame says, it will not change things one bit. Women's fashion designers and women themselves take a delight in outrageous dress. If they thought for a moment they could up­ set people by wearing mother hubbards they would, make that the next big craze. Some wise man once said that women don't dress to please men. They dress to upset other women.

Nashville Woman’s Literary Cl plans for interesting year The fall season means many tilings to many peo­ ple--and quite likely no two people would respond in the same way to what fall means to them. It means children back to school, football games, crisp apples, and also the resuming of fall activi­ ties for the various clubs. The Nashville Woman's Literary Club will begin its fall program-, in a rather special way this year. A dinner meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, Sep­ tember 20th at the Lakewood Inn in Battle Creek. The program committee has worked out a most in­ teresting schedule of programs for the entire year and their plans for a "night out” jsa good way to start. Those who may wish to attend this very first meeting of the club should phone reservations by Monday morning, September 18th to Mrs. Forrest Rinehart or Mb. Carroll Wolff. Mrs. Glennard Showalter, president of the Club, made particular mention of the fact that new memben are desired and anyone who wishes to obtain Kalamo Is Everybody’s It’s the job of every family that spreads a picnic on a roadside table. . It’s the job of every boatman who cruises the lakes and waterways. Every driver, every walker, every flier. That s why our Association throws its whole­ hearted support each year into the Keep America Hniutiful campaign. Lowly country we have here. Let's keep it that way.

In addition to Mrs. Wolff and Mrs. Rinehart, othen to contact include: Mrs. Keith McMillen, Mn. James Rizor and Mn. Norman Sandbrook.

This afternoon meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Gordon French at 1:30 p. m. and Mrs. Mary Holman will talk informally about art and her experiences along this line. This meeting will also pay tribute to the six life members of the Club. In an attempt to make it easier for working wom­ en to attend the meetings, the remainder of the programs are scheduled for evening meeting times: Also an attempt was made to recognize and make use of home town talents. October's meeting will have an unusual and in­ teresting program on flower arrangement by Mrs. Edna Edwards. Her flair with flowers is very ap­ parent and the program will prove to be most en­ tertaining. Mrs. Mildred Allen, librarian from Ver­ montville, will be the guest speaker for the Novem­ ber meeting. She will either give one book review or a short sketch of several books. The December meeting will be close to the Christmas season and the meeting will be held at the Maple Valley High School auditorium and stu­ dents from Mrs. Elbert Carpenter’s Speech classes will present a play. A skit, under the direction of Mrs. R. E. White, will be given at the Fuller Street School in January.

This meeting will take place at the home of Mrs. Tom Myen. The May meeting will be in the form of a trip to Holland, Michigan to enjoy and observe the tulip display. —- ------------------------------------- WHAT’S BEST FOR DURABLE PRESS?

Coach Bill Gibbs says that he has high hopes that the big and experienced line will do much to make Maple Valley a threat this year. Ten letterwinners are returning to the team and ten have been lost to the Lions. Gibbs lists the offense as Steve Stine, Bernie Hickey, Tom Simon, Wayne Gould, Philip Heinze Gordon Reid, Orvin Moore, Bruce McMillen, Ron Keesler, Chuck Corbin, Dale Fisher, Steve Tefft, Walt Shaw, Dave Dipert, Bob Misener, Ron Car­ penter and Larry Swan.

The assistant coaches are Ralph Kirk, Larry Lenz, Ron Rosin and Leroy Wion. Returning to the squad at quarterback will be Steve Stine, who Coach Gibbs says has great poten­ tial of developing into a fine runner and passer. Sen­ ior Tom Simon will back up Stine at Q B and will no doubt also fill one of the other backfield posi­ tions. Orvin Moore and Gordon Reid, both juniors will be depended upon to do much of the ball car­ rying. Gibes says both boys show speed and an a­ bility to follow blockers. Wayne Gould, a senior has been working in the backfield. Gould, a former lineman is a good blocking back. Gibbs said that Philip Heinze and Co-Capt. Bernie Hickey will head up the defen­ sive backfield. Heinze will also play offensive end. Professional Business DIRECTORY MAPLE VALLEY Business Service Bookkeeping & Tax Service DALE H.

Other enrollment figures as of Thursday, Sept. 7, read; Fint grade, 140; second, 140; thiro, 133; fourth, 128; fifth, 132; sixth, 145; seventh, 128; eighth, 147; ninth. 129; tenth, 137; 11th, 102; 12th,' 87, and special education. 41. Last year's enrollment totaled 1, 672. The Eaton County Association of school board members will bold an organizational meeting Mon­ day evening, Sept. 18, at 8 p. m. in the Char­ lotte junior high school John Viele, as Maple Val­ ley's representative, and Supt. Carroll Wolff, will attend. Considerable time was devoted to various poli­ cies and the position of the school board on various items. For the past several years a small accident insurance policy has been offered all students a t the beginning of the year. The advisability of whether or not the school should be engaged in this type of thing was discussed at some length. The school takes no further part, except to see that the children are presented with a brochure. The board did agree, however, to go along one more year in offering a policy. Because of some recent trends on the part of teach­ ers to place orders for supplies, particularly awards in some organizations, the board again stressed the importance of having all teaching personnel clear through proper channels before making any such purchases. The board approved the annual financial report for the state department. The school has purchased a four-wheel drive, 3/4 ton truck with snowplow. Approval was given for the high school band to par­ ticipate in festivities at Western Michigan Univer­ sity in Kalamazoo Saturday, September 16. M its Barbara Musser was hired as a library assistant at Vermontville. The board okayed putting a new roof on the bus garage. The cost will be >672 and the work is to be done as soon as possible. The August state aid has been received in the a­ mount of >97, 790. 00. Other business was routine. Bills in the amount of >1, 963. 28 were allowed. Although there are additional staff members this year, it has been necessary to assign some teachen a sixth period. Miss Yvonne Daniels will have a . sixth period junior-high science clast; Mrs. Hilda Baas will assist with noon hour supervision, and Austin Zimmerman will take her mathematics class. Melvin Kivela and Elmer Jarvic will split a sixth class, with Kivela teaching the fiat semester in wood shop, and Jarvie handling a class in metal shop instruction the second semester.

SEPTEMBER 21, 1967 It is that time of year again--. The Maple Valley football team runs under the goalposts and on to the field for the first game of the season to the tune of the fight song by the band. The Lions went in to the game the underdogs but came out victorious 6-0. Maple Valley plays Middleville, there, next Friday. --News Photo NUMBER 17 �BACKSTREET BAROMETER by many love*. This is the time of year when one wonders whether to go out and knock off a game of «4f or perhaps get in a bit of water skiing before t cold weather sets in. The watcher* too, get a bit confused. There is uestion of whether to watch the Tigers on the e or to see what the Lions are doing. The a n ncers at the first football game of the season are ays announcing the results of the last baseball se of the season. I guess all of life is full of conflict though. Some people don't know whether to drive the Rolles or the Cad. Some folks have to make a decision about whether to have Lobster Newburg or prime steak for dinner. Some worry about whether to take a holiday at the sea shore or in the mountains. The only decision I have to make is whether to cheer for the Tigers or the Lions and I won't even have to worry about that after the next few weeks. Speaking of Lions, our Maple Valley boys came through in style Friday night. They looked real good taking the game from Lakewood. Now is they Just keep it up all season. Back in my puppy days the Hurst American Week­ ly used to keep me in a stew with their articles a­ bout what could happen to the world. One week they would have a story about what will happen in a few billion years when the sun bums itself out and life on our earth is snuffed out. The next week they would run a thing telling us a­ bout the results if another planet got off course and ran smack dab into the earth. Bam - that's what would happen and we wouldn't know what hit us. They had a thing they ran once, which made a real impression on me, about what would happen if the sun suddenly errupted in a giant blast and scorched the earth. Their conclusion was that it would be plenty hot, believe you me. These were remote possibilities, and even I knew that at the time I was reading the articles. Now they have come up with things that could ; really be true. They present us with the population explosion which could expand itself to the point where no one on the earth would have more room than just to stand up. Today, I suppose, it is passi­ ble that someone could drop a couple of big bombs .that could turn the entire earth to a cinder. Some say the continued use of insecticides could throw nature so far out of balance that we would be in for trouble. It must be my extreme old age, but these possi­ bilities no longer scare the socks off me. a new worry. Some man says that if we continue to pollute the atmosphere the way we ate now doing we ate going to have another ice age. This does scare me. I. have no desire to go through many more summers like this past one where the temperature never got up to a respectable level. Maybe we are alreaay starting into the new ice age caused by this air pol­ lution. want Al Smith, knowing bow I love fish, invited m e over to sample his coho salmon the ocher night. ~** ask ~ * me_bow *~~~ r it When I Uli people this they all tastes.

Had it not been for a bit of bad luck two yean in a row our Sam would have been in the big race at Indy. Year before last Sam had car trouble and a­ gain this year his car was not ready to go out on the track. Sam is a fine driver with a really outstanding rec­ ord. It has been bad luck that has kept him oft the track at Indy so far. Once he qualifies and gets in­ to the race Sam will give the other boys something to think about. So congratulations to Sam.

Vermontville Lions Club to sponsor Flu Clinic The Vermontville Lions Club will again sponsor a "flu" clinic on September 27, starting at 7:30 p. m. in the All-purpose room of the Maplewood SchooL Doctor and nurses will be on band to give the immunization shots. School children should be accompanied by their parents or guardians. If this is not possible, the child should bring a written authorization from the parent. This program, coming well before the "flu"seas­ on, has been an effective means of preventing the "flu" or rendering the attack less severe. This is a public service project of die Lions Club, and they are anxious to nave everybody take advantage of the services of the clinic. on your K(i#w regg|ati.o regard to well-drilling If you're having a water well installed on your Before you agree to have someone drill your well make sure the contractor is registered with the state health department. The law require* that a decal bearing a cunent year date and the firm's registra­ tion number appear on the company 's vehicles. The registration provision alao applies to water well pump installers, although in most cases the tame firm may drill the well and install the pump. Health department engineers advise that you make sure that the well casing terminate* at least 12 in­ ches above ground level. This will protect the well against any possible source of contamination, such as flooding, and also make it easy to locate it if there is any trouble. ' Well pits are no longer permitted under the new ' approval is first obtained in writing from local healthi officers. Only in special rare instance* will Mich apjiproval be granted. The problem with the use of plits, according to public health officials, ' : all kinds of debris and are is that they accumulate suscej ceptible to *“ flooding. A flooded pit is a serious heal ilth hazard and in addition causes economic los*es due to burned-out motors. Sure law also requires that a well must be located at least 50 feet from any source of contamination, such as a septic tank, subsurface disposal field, dry well, outhouse or bam yards. The well driller must provide you with a copy of the water well record showing the complete history of the well and pump installations. The driller must also file copies of the record with the local health department and the Michigan Geological Survey. If you feel that your well has been improperly in­ stalled. first contact the chiller who did the job. However, if there is still a problem, you should call the local health department. The department will require the driller to correct any work done not i n accordance with state law. NEWS^ Locals "Mnt it ekSetaixt Mr. and Mrs. M. J.

Main OL3-6934 Vermontville CL9-7215 Chevrolet Impala '68s Top Secrets are here 1968 Chevrolets The 1968 Chevrolets are the very essence of modern design. Every line, every curve is in close harmony. It's a smooth, uncluttered look with roof lines compatible with-body lines, grilles and bumpers that blend grace­ fully into long, rounded fenders. Clean, flowing, beautiful in their simplicity, these '68 Chevrolets are rich and ad­ vanced in styling beyond any you've ever seen. A MORE SILENT RIDE And for 1968, we’ve gone to every length to give you more peace and quiet inside. The most sophisticated computers have been used to strategi­ cally place body mounts and success­ fully isolate noise and vibration. Shock absorbers have been improved. The wheel stance on many models is wider for greater smoothness. Ex­ haust systems have been redesigned to make them, whisper-quiet. Even the clocks tick more softly. A sound car is a silent car. The '68 Chevrolets are the most silent, highest quality cars we've ever built. BETTER PERFORMANCE There are new engines, a bigger standard Six and V8. There’s a new 250-hp V8 you can order that runs on regular fuel. Many new engine com­ ponents increase dependability and keep your new Chevrolet running stronger. There's a new rear axle ratio you can add for greater econ­ omy. On most engines equipped with automatic transmissions, there’s a special heater for the carburetor which gives you more efficient per­ formance in cold weather. And with every engine, you get the new GM exhaust emission control. UNIQUE ASTRO VENTILATION There’s a whole new idea in ventila­ tion, called Astro Ventilation, for Camaro, Cprvette and the elegant Ca­ price Coupe. It's also available on many other models. By opening two new vent-ports on the instrument panel, you bring in outside air that can be directed where you want it. This way, you can leave your windows rolled up and add still more to your peace and quiet. PROVED SAFETY FEATURES You get the proved GM-developed energy absorbing steering column, folding front seat back latches, dual master cylinder brake system with warning light, plus many more new features. Among them: energy absorb­ ing front seat backs, and safety arm­ rests that shield the door handles. MUCH MORE THAT’S NEW There are new roof lines, some formal and graceful, others sporty and quick. There are new instrument panels, richly designed and all controls within easy reach. There are new interiors, new vinyls, new fabrics, new colors. There are models with Hide-A-Way windshield wipers and headlights that disappear behind grilles. There are new side marker lamps, new recessed taillights. There’s even a new ignition alarm buzzer that reminds you not to walk away and leave your keys in the car. These are the newest, the most differ­ ent, the most dramatically changed Chevrolets ever. And they’re at your Chevrolet dealer’s now. You'll thor­ oughly enjoy slipping behind the wheel, experiencing the smooth new handling and library-quiet ride and, more than anything, seeing and feel­ ing the even greater quality built into every new Chevrolet for 1968. Be smart! Be sure! Buy now at your Chevrolet dealer’s.

Next District Republican meeting Nov ember 14 "The last session of the legislature passed less legislation than any legislature within the last ten years", stated Representative William Weber of Kalamazoo to Third Congressional District Repub­ lican Tuesday evening at the Nordia Restaurant in Battle Creek.

The subject of the meeting will be Republican Youth Activities. Postmaster urges the local use of Z ip Codes Nashville residents will have an opportunity to easily put ZIP into their mail in late September, Postmaster Wilma F. DeCamp reported today. • During the last half of September, the postoffice will deliver to every householder a kit of eight post­ al cards which can oe mailed back to the postoffice with addresses needing ZIP Codes. Each completed card will be sent to the postoffice which services the "zipless" address and the proper code will be added before the form is returned to the sender. No postage will be needed on these cards. Eacn of the eight postal cards in the kit will con­ tain a message encouraging the general use of ZIP Code. There will be a ninth card of instructions. All will be folded together like a closed accordian. There will be perforations between each form. In addition, another separate card will be delivered, along with the kit which is a reminder of the local ZIP Code. Last year approximately 2800 addresses were ZIP Coded by the Nashville Postoffice as part of a simi­ lar program using only one (or two) cards with spaces for as many as 13 addresses, Postmaster DeCamp said. Nationally, about eight addresses per card were returned during the 1966 project. The unit cost of entering the code onto each card will be less than the system used in 1966 because no look-up will be necessary. Every card in the final postoffice will need the same code, so an inexper­ ienced clerk will be able to simply stamp it on the card and send the form on its return journey. On an average day, between 175 and 250 million pieces of mail enter the postal system. It is not ex­ pected that more than 10 million of the ZIP-A-LIST cards will be in the system at any one time during the peak periods of mailing. Since they will be handled essentially as ordinary postal cards, there will be no burden or dislocation of service. "The ultimate result willbe an improvement in service, " Postmaster General Lawrence F. O'Brien has said about the project. "ZIP Code is the base uppa-which the modem postal service is being bdilt. But, it won't work and the modernization and efficiencies ZIP Code will bring cannot go in­ to effect, until there is more widespread usage of the five-number code. "The ZIP-A-LIST project is the most dramatic aspect of our continuing campaign to make ZIP Codes readily available to the public." Last year, approximately 17 per cent of the na­ tion's householders returned 96 million addresses for coding. The Postmaster General reported that many postmasters had informed the Department that the ZIP-A-LIST project was an important as­ pect in making Christmas mailers aware of the im­ portance of using the codes on their holiday mail and as an off-shoot, encouraged early mailing of their gifts and cards. This resulted in the most suc­ cessful holiday season in recent postal history. Extra kits will be available at the post office.

THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, SEPTEMBER 21, 1967 �MAPLE VALLEY Lions open season Football Schedule VARSITY FOOTBALL •+ .cdloilii .. THL MAPLF VALLFY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MKjhG.v,, Oi'IIVfHH ":00 ':0<- �Baseball team wins state championship season I I -* The Ma came on strong to c first game of the sea. The Lions went into the game a definite under­ do and came out victorious. The Lion's defense held the strong Lakewood team to five first downs. On the offensive the Lions were able to rack up four first downs against their opponants. The 6-0 final score might have come as a s u r prise to some, but the members of the team had decided far in advance of the game that they would either come out the winner or at least put up a good fight. The thrill of the game came with a long pass from Steve Stine to split end Dave Dipen. Dipen lunged for the ball on the ten yard line and fell for­ ward to the 2-yard line with the baU in his hands. Stine then plunged through the line on the next play to rack up the only score of rhe entire evening. Tom Simon showed himself proud with some runs and with a couple of good punts. For the first game of the season the Lions worked remarkably weft. Because they lack somewhat the depth that the coaches would nave liked, their sec­ ond half stand was rather remarkable. After their good showing in the first half, the talk in the stands during the half-time ceremonies indicated that some people expected that the Lions had burn­ ed themselves out. Despite some losses due to in­ juries during the game, the Maple Valley boys were able to hold off efforts to generate a drive on the part of Lakewood and at the same time to develop a bit of a drive themselves. Coach Bill Gibbs said he was especially pleased with the good defensive game the Maple Valley team put up. Gibbs pointed out that the game was almost identical to last year’s contest with Lake­ wood, which ended with the same score. In last year's game the touch-down was set up by a long pass similar to the one of this year. Both teams can be congratulated on a good clean game of bait There wereiemarkably few penalti^s in the game (Maple Valley had only one) and there was never a display of anything but the finest sportmanship. The officials had very little to do during the evening. Coach Gibbs said he is pleased that his boys finished so strong and that he hopes they can polish their offense tor the game wtth Middleville Friday.

SEPTEMBER 11, 19W7 �School Calendar hy G0RD8I CHARLES True, on a perfectly calm day, a snipe will fly fast but can be expected to hold on a normally straight course. Add a stiff wind to the scene, though, and all of your calculations immediately go wrong. Hitting a snipe with a load of No. 8 shot when he goes twisting away on the wind is a feat for the expert--or lucky—scatter gunner. Nobody—leastof all the snipe--can calculate where his next wing­ beat will carry him on a windy day. The shotgunner who can collect a daily limit of eight snipe at the expenditure of not more than one box of shells, under these windy conditions, cer­ tainly deserves a tip of anybody's hunting cap! Jacksnipe are migratory by nature and come un­ der federal regulations. To hunt them, it is neces­ sary to have a small game hunting license. No mi­ gratory waterfowl license or "duck stamp" is nec­ essary for this game species, although, obviously, if hunting with a teal permit in the special season, you better have a duck stamp. If you fancy yourself as a fancy wing-shot, why not give snipe a try? The results might just aston­ ish you! Ever go on a snipe hunt? No, we don't mean the kind of snipe that pranksters like to use in tricking novices into hunting with a bag on a dark night. What we do mean is Wilson's snipe of jacksnipe, as they are more commonly called. This year Michigan will have two snipe seasons. , Six life members will be honored The Nashville Literary Club will meet on Wed­ nesday, September 27 at 1:30 pm at the home of Mrs. Gordon French. At this time tribute will be paid to the six life members of the club. Ma. Mary Holman will also address the group and will tell of her experiences along with her interest in art. Members are urged to attend and guests are al­ so invited to attend. Postpone PTA meeting Please notice that the Maplewood PTA meet­ ing planned for October 5 has been postponed un­ til October 12 because of Teacher's Institute. Local Mr. and Mrs. M. J.

Jesse Garlinger at­ tended the wedding of their granddaughter, Barbara Ann Miller in the Methodist church in Midland. Barbara and her husband have returned to college at Northern Michigan Uruvenity. with the first to be an earjy, experimental model staged during the Sept. 15-23 special teal season. Thu particular hunt will be for teal permit holders only and in eight special areas of the state. If you don't nave one of the 8,200 teal permits, you can't go snipe hunting till the regular duck seas­ on opens October 9. At that time, though, you can hunt them all over the state and, if you are lucky, you can shoot eight every day you hunt Wilson's snipe are members of the shorebird fam­ ily and may be found most frequently in pasture land with puddles of standing water or along the muddy edges of marshes. Equipped with stilt-like legs that enable it to wade in shallow water, the snipe has an excep­ tionally long, slender bill w ith which it p r o b e s in the mud for food particles. These trademarks, along with its rather somber brown color and a startled "scaip, scaip" call when flying, makes its identifi­ cation rather easy. To look at a group of snipe wading and probing for food, it might look like a simple project to hunt them. You might even think it would be too easy to be any fun. Don't kid yourself! Most of us, at one time or another, have tried to take the family clock apart to see if we could fix it. Few of us. however, ever succeeded in getting the blamed thing back together again and in good Usually we ended up »with some extra working order. Usually wheels or screws and' a timepiece _' ‘that was useless. " We had completely upset the balance of the instru­ ment. This same thing happens when man interferes with the dlock-like precision that dicutes the bal­ ance of nature. Too many times man has been quick to condemn and exterminate some of the so-called predator species without considering the full con­ sequences. Take the fox, for example. A farmer has a thriv­ ing orchard of young fruit trees. Into this pretty pic­ ture comes a fairly heavy mouse population which, in turn, attracts Br'er Fox. Figuring that the fox is just a nuisance, the farm­ er takes steps to kill him off. With this natural en­ emy removed, the mice have a field day and soon heavy damage to fruit trees occurs. Under cover of snow, tree trunks are girdled or roots are damaged so badly the tree dies. Had the farmer allowed the fox to remain, his mouse-damaged trees would have been harmed lit­ tle or not at all. Orchardists are coming to learn this the hard way and many now welcome a few foxes on their lands as natural mouse traps. Each animal plays an important part on the land and when one species is eliminated the balance is upset and the wheelof nature faiW to turn properly. In the past, man has attempted to repair the spoke in the wheel he destroyed by restocking h i s lands with game and birds. But this has hot always been successful. If there is not enough cover ana food for birds they will, in time, leave or die. If too many animals are in a given area, disease or some other means will remove the surplus down to the carrying capacity of the land. Most ground-nesting birds, including ruffed grouse and pheasants, have a horde of predators working against them. From the time eggs are laid to the time they hatch, skunks, crows, raccoons, foxes, turtles, hawks, ants, dogs and cats are all working against them. However, given adequate cover and food they survive and reproduce naturally. With poor food and cover they can fall easy vic­ ' tim to predawn as well as to aaveae weather. Still man too often decides that only one of the preda­ tory species is doing all the damage and tries to eradicate the species. ■ When you see a hawk or owl or fox, try to re member that he is there as part of nature's balance wheeL Mau himself is a predator are often takes some of the surplus animals. But, in his ignorance of the ways of the wild he can kill off too many of the wrong ones. Let’s be sure that we aren't the ones to lose that little thingamajig that makes the great wheel of nature turn. .

The coho being shown to Conservation Director Ralph A. MacMullan (right) by Fish Chief Vayne H. Tody measures about 27 inches and weighs a whopping 9 pounds, 12 ounces. It weighed only about an ounce and was 5-6 inches long when planted by die Department a year ago last spring. Tody says the coho represents ”50-100 pounds of alewives,” explaining that it ate that much of the nuisance fish to attain its spectacular growth. The big salmon was landed in gill nets from a Department survey boat operating for sample catches about 3-4 miles northwest of Manistee in Lake Michigan. In two lifts of gill nets made recently •by Department fisheries men in that area, sample catches also included an 8 pound, 1 ounce coho and a 4 pound, 4 ounce coho released in die spring of 1966. Also netted in 60-70 feet of water were 57 coho that were planted last spring. They averaged 10-14 inches and weighed about three-quarters of a pound.. Other catches in those two lifts included 15 chinook salmon planted last spring which averaged 8% inches and 4-5 ounces, and 21 brown trout, the largest of which weighed 11% pounds. Rounding out the sample take were 26 lake trout averaging 10-15 inches and a 5 pound, 3 ounce steelhead. —Mich.

ABORTION BATTLE Efforts to legalize abortion under some circum­ stances have begun slowly in Michigan and without much excitement. A bill was introduced by Sen. John E McCauley, D-Wyandotte, in the last ses­ sion to permit termination of pregnancy when deem­ ed necessary for the physical or mental health o f the mother; in cases of rape or incest; of where there is apparent danger of serious defect, either physically or mentally, in the child. It is still under legisla­ tive consideration. There was virtually no reaction to the bill in the last legislative, session. Sen. Robert L. Richardson, R-Saginaw, expressed surprise at this time. Since there was little interest, there was no formal com­ mittee consideration. Public hearings, scheduled last month, produced some reserved reactions which nonetheless showed strong conviction. In general, it can be said that the Catholic, Lutheran and Jewish religious groups oppose any form of legality for abortion, while most Protestant churches favor this particular bilL The Michigan Council of Churches supports the idea.

The practical Applications sought for Civil Service jobs Michigan is looking for men to man its toll bridges and supervise state building construction.ac­ cording to State Representative Star ley M. Powell, (R-Ionia). Representative Powell said that the MichiganCivil Service Commission has established a September 25 deadline for submission of applications for open competitive and promotional examinations for the positions. There are openings at the Mackinac Bridge at the Straits and the International Bridge at Sault Ste. Marie for toll collectors and toll supervisors. The toll collection jobs have a pay scale of $5, 600 to $6, 750. Supervisory positions have a salary range of $6, 000 to $8, 050. • Three employment levels for building construc­ tion superintendents are open on a promotional vbasis. These positions have a yearly salary range of $7, 500 to $11, 600. Examinations for the available jobs in these fields have been tentatively set for October 28. Representative Powell suggested that anyone interested in more complete information about the qualifications, responsibilities and salaries of these and other state employment opportunities should contact their local state employment office or write to the Michigan Civil Service Commission in the Lewis Cass Building in Lansing.

Michigan State University supervised the samp­ ling. weighing and testing operations in cooperation with the Holstein organization's herd and breed improvement programs. People talk more about the rights of the mother; now unfair and unwise it is to force her to bear an unwanted or deformed child. The opposing view is that the fertilized fetus is a living human being and no one has the right under any circumstances to des­ troy it. Advocates of this position, while they may lament facts regarding the large number of illegal abortions and the suffering of those who are born deformed, argue strongly that no one has the right to perform this operation. More attention to this issue is likely Colorado adopted a similar law this year. When time teaches what it can about the results there, Michigan will be in a better position to judge what should be done here. In the meantime, it seems certain that legis­ lators will hear more about this controversial topic from constituents on both sides of the question. "VANISHING" FARMERS Michigan is losing farm families at the rate of a­ bout nine a day. In the past 27 yean. Michigan has also lost almost five million acres of produc­ tive farm land. But despite this loss in farm families and the de­ crease in tillable acreage, Michigan's food pro­ duction has generally increased, reports B. Dale Ball, director of the Michigan Department of Agri­ culture. The trend toward fewer but larger farms, with more production per acre, is a national one. Ball points out. He attributes the phenomenon to greater mechanization, more efficient operation, special­ ization, and better farming methods. "Farming has never been more dynamic, " said Thomas K. Cowden, Dean of MSU's College of Ag­ riculture. He attributes the drop in farm families to increased productivity per farm man-hour, not­ ing that fewer people are needed to fill require­ ments of farm production. This, coupled with expansion of farm operations and a corresponding need for more acreage, has re­ duced the number of individual farm owners. John Doneth, MSU agricultural economist, finds that for every nine losses of a "census'.' farm, the state gains three "commercial" farms. "Commer­ cial" farms are those with gross annual incomes of $20, 000 or more while "census" farms can be rural tracts of land with little, if any, farming oper­ ations. "By 1980, we exppet 55 to 60 percent of all our farms to be commercial in contrast to less than five percent five years ago and only .about 10 per­ cent today," Doneth explains. Farming is big business, with big investments in land, in livestock and machinery. At the same time, today's farmer is faced with narrow margins of profit on each bushel of grain, ton of fruit or hundredweight of milk and livestock. He must, like retailers and industries, expand to survive. Modern farming has attracted corporation interest Large farms, especiaUy in western states, may be controlled by boards of directon and involve thou­ sands of acres. Capital outlay for modern farm ma­ chinery has forced many independent farmers to consolidate use of machinery, much the way bus­ inesses rent time on complicated computer systems. The future seems obvious. Farms will continue to grow in size, become fewer in number. This should influence the planning of educational i n stitutions and government agricultural services. More resources will be concentrated on agricul­ tural research and development, with less emphas­ is on the marginal farmer or the man who works in the city and farms as a sideline. — Twilla Marisch of NashviUe has joined the j u n ior membership ranks of Holstein-Friesian Associ­ ation of America. Nearly 13. 900 youngsters are now actively enrolled in the weed organization's pro­ grams. To qualify, member candidates must be under 21 yean of age and have successfully completed one year's work in a 4-H or vocational agriculture dairy project. Individual ownership of at least one Regis­ tered Holstein is also required. Junior members of the national Association are en­ titled to all privileges except voting. They may reg­ ister and transfer their animals at member rates and receive regular reports of breed and organization progress. More than 43, 700 young Holstein breeders have participated in the program since its start in 1923. . Kenneth Hawblitz, 13, Nashville, has been grant­ ed a junior membership in the American Angus As­ sociation at St. Joseph, Missouri, announced Glen Bratcher, secretary. This new junior membership entitles the member to register purebred Angus at regular r^mbership rates and to the privileges of the Association until the age of 21. At that time junior members are el­ igible to convert to lifetime memberships in the Association. There were 209 young people in the UnitedStates to receive junior memberships last month.

The Middleville boys had a bit of size. Some of them looked like they should have been playing for the Detroit Lions. Back when I was in high school in Detroit they used to kid about the football team for Hamtramck. The Hamtramck football teams were always the big winners of the day. One year their line outweighed the Detroit Lions line. I'm glad we don't have to play a team like that. Our team did well to stand up against Middleville as well as it did.

Reagan, Murphy, Black (Temple) all have quit making with the songs, dances and Jokes and have gone into promises, speeches and campaign handshaking.

SWu, V’j i- v’f’ ;<•-.> ..■*£* . . .. . ... ;'>w . t* Freedom of the Press Belongs to the People By Theodore A. Serrill Executive Vice President, National Newspaper Association Who ever told that nosey editor he had a right to pry into what happened at our council meeting? What gave that reporter any idea that he could write about the school directors the way he did? The answer is that there is no law, rule, regulation or order that specifically requires a newspaper reporter to cover city council, school board or court sessions. The Constitution says “Congress shall make no law ... abridg­ ing the freedom of the press.” One can search out all of the laws of the Federal Government, right down to the Freedom of Information bill passed by the 89th Congress, and find nothing further about “the press.” The same can be said of state law. Most state consti­ tutions recognize freedom of the press to publish news, but none particularize these rights, or set down any press responsibilities. The newspaper is not required to report the city coun­ cil meeting or send someone to the school directors' ses­ sions. The reporter could stay home. Nor do laws specify that “the press” be accorded any special treatment before any public body. “Open meeting laws” never mention newspapers, reporters, or news media. They simply affirm the right of the public at large to attend and observe meet­ ings of governing assemblies. Mrs. Smith, then, can “cover” the city council — for her club, her neighborhood, or just for herself. The princi­ ple of open government meetings was established for the people — the resident, the voter, the taxpayer, all the governed — not solely for the press or its representatives. Then why is it that “the right to know” and “freedom of information” always seem to be linked with the press? In the very early days of American settlement all of the people of a local community would gather in the town meeting and determine the affairs of the community. Al­ most everybody attended, and those who didn’t, soon learned from the informed majority. But villages soon grew into cities, and the “pure democracy” of the town meeting gave way to representa­ tive democracy. Government was growing more remote from the people. It was also growing more complicated. Yet the citizen, as a voter, had the same responsibility to keep himself informed. It followed naturally that the Nation’s fledgling press should fill the role of reporter and commentator on public affairs. No one passed a law requiring it. The Founding Fathers simply had faith that a private press, given the guarantee df freedom to do so, would accept the responsi­ bility. And of course it has. For nearly two centuries newspapers have attended meetings of governing bodies, reporting and interpreting in behalf of the public. The reporter attends city council meetings as a mem­ ber of the public. He has a right to be present only if the public retains that right. The editor comments on the council's decisions — or Ja^lCof them — as an ordinary citizen. While he is aided in his function by the printing press at his disposal, it gives him no special rights. He can comment only so long as the public has a privilege of commenting. The “right to know” and “freedom of information” are concepts with which the newsman works every day. The same professional tradition which sends him to the city council meeting compels him to resist inroads on these public rights. For he knows, and the public should always realize too, that in all that he does, the newspaperman acts as a citizen, in behalf of his fellow citizens. THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN.

I'm not much of a person to be answer­ ing this sort of thing, but after reading this one, 1 sat right down and filled it in and sent it back. After all, if these people representing us go to the trouble to try and find out hew we feel about things such as the proposed surtax, help for schools, federal funds for cities and civil rights problems, I think we should take the time to answer a questionaire. The proposed surtax is one tax we sure can do without and I hope any one that has a chance to tell a Senator or Congressman does so with plenty of feeling. •k Creme Sen M TlkMIt SmI « Lu|t CinAtt DEBT ».

SEPTEMBER 28, 1087 Bellevue Michigan 763-345 �, WATERFRONT CONSERVATION Debris. Polution. Stagnation. Stench. These steps rapidly turn beautiful inland lakes and rivers into smelly, unsightly eyesores. Communities once proud of their attractive waterfronts now see all sorts of rubbish crowd out green and wooded shoreline. Sparkling blue water Becomes sluggish and brown. But forward-looking communities can deal with such conditions. Public-spirited citizens can re­ store and maintain original beauty through com­ munity cooperation. The city of Owosso, using local volunteer labor, has completed now its second annual cleanup of 3 1/2 miles of Shiawassee River shoreline. An editorial in the Owosso Argus-Press on May 7, 1965, pointed out that the city’s "Cleanup-Week" might include improving the appearance of the Shi­ awassee River. Nothing was done that year, but in July of 1966 the Shiawassee River Assn, proposed a community­ wide river cleanup. The city proclaimed July SC­ SI Owosso " River Days" and under the leadership of local attorney James S. Minor, citizens rolled up their sleeves. Businesses and the Argus-Press promoted the pro­ ject throughout the month, and more than 500 per­ sons turned out to restore charm and cleanliness to the river and shoreline. The city supplied a bulldozer to deepen the riv­ er and level riverbed "humps. " City and privatelyowned trucks were used to haul away junk and de­ bris. Refreshments and food were furnished to work­ ers by residents living along the river. Teenage workers outnumberecf adults. Crews cleared more than a mile of riverbank as the first step toward building a riverside walkway from the east city limits to downtown. Participation was strong again this year. Follow­ ing last year s turnout there was speculation that citizens would lose interest in future cleanups. How­ ever, about 150 showed up August 12-13 to contin­ ue the improvement program. "We had fewer people this year, but we didn't need as many, " Minor commented. "We got twice as much junk from the river last year, and it a p pears that Owosso residents have learned not to use the river as a dumping ground. " The city has increased enforcement of anti-lit­ ter laws. Police and residents have become highly sensitive to offenders throwing trash into the water. Benefits of waterfront improvement are numer­ ous. Restoration of natural beauty, water conser­ vation, increased property values and expansion of community park and recreation facilities can re­ sult. And such a community effort brings a feeling of community accomplishment and pride. The idea has already caught on in other parts of Shiawassee County. It may start a trend. $29 MILLION PROBLEM Resort owners along Lake Michigan can expect next year's alewife problem to be as bad as this year, according to Dr. Wayne Tody, Chief of the Michigan Fishery Division, Department of Conser­ vation. . In 1967, miles of sandy beaches were covered with dead alewife, an almost useless fish about the size of a herring. Most effective control over exploding alewife population is introducing millions of coho smelts (Pacific salmon) to the Great Lakes. Salmon find alewife tasty meals upon which to multiply. Dr. Tody points out. However, at the rate Michigan is producing the smelts control may never be reached. Three to four million smelts can be hatched each year un­ der present facilities, he notes. Long-term goals call for 45 million smelts, 30 million from hatcheries and 15 million from natur­ al hatching in Michigan streams. Opening Oct. 2nd Misener & Son Service Vermontville Formerly Nick s Service UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT MOWER SALES A SERVICE FARMERS GAS A OIL The problem is financing. Some Federal funds are available on a match-money basis, but the en­ tire project is estimated at $29, 500, 000. The lioni share would have to be financed with state monies since there is a ceiling on Federal participation. If financing were made available this fiscal year, it would still be 1975 before full effects of the pro­ ject would be felt. Dr. Tody said. The solution to the problem rests with the people. Legislators respond to constituents. If the people wish to eliminate alewife littering beaches, clog­ ging water intake lines and depressing more desir­ able species of fish, they must make their wishes known. Fire Prevention Week is October 8-14 Michigan's high fire losses of 297 lives and al­ most $65 million in property damage in 1966 sharply focus attention, for this year's Fire Preven­ tion Week on need for vigilant day to day safety precautions, said Capt, Glenroy M. Walker, chief of the State Police fire marshal division. Fire Prevention Week is October 8-14. Walker said the home last year again proved to be the most dangerous place for loss of lives by fire. He said 101 of the 168 adult deaths and 115 of the 129 child fatalities resulted from fires o c earring in the home. Michigan analysis showed that careless smoking and clothing catching fire were leading causes of fatal fires for adults. Defective heating units and playing with fire were major causes of child deaths. The Michigan fire death toll in 1966 was a new high for the sure and the damage total ranked sec­ ond only to the $78 million loss in 1953. Walker suggested these precautions: Instruct occupants of dwellings and buildings in fire safety practices. Give special attention to night evacuations. Don't leave young children at home unattended. Be sure that sitters or others supervising children in the absence Of parents know what to do in event of fire. Keep fire-making devices out of the reach of youngsters. See that all electrical appliances and equipment are properly maintained ana in good repair. Avoid overloading electrical circuits. Always use fuses properly rated for the circuit because they are fire safety valves. Safely dispose of combustible waste and properly store any flammable material. Be especially careful when handling flammable liquids. Regularly inspect building heating equipment and structures, giving special attention to the pre-winter heating season check. Be careful-with any lighted tobacco and associa­ ted lighting devices. Contact local fire officials when in doubt on fire safety matters.

KAoj^ \/cJ$£u^ TlX Atishvillr Xcvvs VOLUME 95 10 Cents a Copy Police committee to study p etition request A petition signed by 97 persons was presented the Nashville village council Thursday asking for the immediate removal of Chief of Police Robert Park­ er. There were no specific charges made in the petition. The petition read: "We the undersigned hereby petition the Village council of the village of Nash­ ville, County of Barry, State of Michigan, for immediate removal of Robert Parker as Chief of Police of said village. " The signers were mostly residents of the village, although there were a few who reside outside the village. Some 25 persons visited the council and of the group some six or seven persons made statements as to why Parker should be dismissed, although everyone there had the opportunity to speak. Horace Powers of Charlotte, attorney for the vil­ lage, was present at the meeting. The principal causes for dismissing Parker, as stated by those who did speak up were charges that Parker had been discourteous and insulting at times, that his inter­ pretations of the law had been different for one person than another, and that the officer had stop­ ped cars when they deemed it unnecessary. Police Chief Parker was then given a chance to discuss the charges with the council The officials then voted to suspend Parker for ope week and referred the matter to the police committee for further investigation. After the po­ lice committee further investigates the matter, and has a chance to talk to several individuals in­ volved, a definite move will be taken by the council, probably within the next week. The only other business transacted was the pay­ ing of bills in the amount of $3, 898. 76 and the necessity of setting up a more detailed report of village affairs as required by law. n' v^^Ue\ “ THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS, NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1967 NUMBER 19 Homecoming celebration planned for this Friday The Homecoming celebration will be observed this Friday night when the Maple Valley Lions meet the Portland team.

Entered at the Poet Office at Nashville, Michigan Batty County, as Second Class Matter EDITOR & PUBUSHERS John and Amy Boughton SUBSCRIPTION RATES Barry & Eaton Counties $3. 00 per year Elsewhere in United States $3. 60 per year barometer by john boughton A friend was telling me about her little grand­ daughter who is just seven. When people ask her what she wants to be when she grows up she always tells them that she wants to be a mother. They then go through a routine where they say "don'tyou want to be a schoolteacher?" "No. " "A secretary?1 "No. " "Airlines hostess?" "No, just a mother. " The other day this little girl's mother was giving her a bad time because she nad not done a good job of cleaning up her room. "Just look at this room, "the mother said, "What kind of a mother are you going to be if you don't do a better job of cleaning than that?" "Mother, "the little girl said, "can't you give me just a few years of childhood?" I was telling a fellow about the old cars that went through town a couple of weeks ago and in do­ ing so I described a few of them that I thought were stand-outs. I told about a Model-T that stopped by the side of the road, and this friend said "I had one just like that The first car I ever owned. " He was just a young fellow at the time, and he took his father along with him to pick up the car. Father and son got into the Model-T and took off for home without going into too much detail with ■ the former owner about the operation of the vehi ­ cle. When they swung up the street where they lived they saw the mother sitting on the front porch wait­ ing for them to come home for supper. When they B" tost to the place to turn into the driveway my friend discovered that he had too much _ or the turn into the drive and he couldn't remember just what the procedure was for negoti­ ating such a sham turn. So he just went right past the house. Both father passenger and driver son waved cheerily to the porch-sitting mother as they went past the house. She waved back, wondering if they had suddenly remembered something they intended to purchase at the store. Somehow they got around the block and my friend zeroed in on the drive again. Again he real­ ized he was not going to make it, and again they gave the mother a lusty wave. She returned the salutation with a look of wonder in her eye. Had her husband and son suddenly decided to go some­ where else to eat supper and they were just check­ ing to see that she was o. k. ? She watched them go down the street and then calmly went back to her reading of the evening paper. It came as no great surprise to her to see the car again approaching the house. It came as no great surprise to her to see the men wave again as they went past. This time though, they had an air of desperation much as Columbus must have had as he waved to Queen Isabella and he thought for a moment that maybe the rest of the people were right and that he would sail right off the edge of the earth. She got up, put her paper down and went into the bouse, tired of the waving game. By this time she had concluded that the two men had entered into some sort of a driving endurance contest and that they would expect her to be at the curb w ith sandwiches to throw to them on their next pass. By the next time around, father and son togeth­ er had worked out the mechanics of turning into the driveway. They slowed her down and wheeled up the chive. When they came into the kitchen the mother was putting the finishing touches on the meal She made no comments about the racing past the house and madly waving. She no doubt realized the fu tility of engaging in a lengthy conversation with a couple of lunatics. They had never shown signs of violence, but then, one never knows when this type might go completely ape. Perhaps one little question like "what was with the driving past the homestead and gayly waving?" might set them off. The only thing she said was "If you two ever get that thing going in a straight line and can't turn around the block, just send me a postcard and let me know where you wound up. " On the way up to Charlevoix last Friday evening we ran into a heavy snow between Clare and Houghton Lake, b snowed so bard that there about two inches on the ground in places. This has been a darn short summer, and it looks as if we are in for a dam long winter. Lay in a good supply of fire wood and get ready for it. The caterpillars have long hair, the squirrels are put­ ting nuts away like mad. and even the gcassboppen are preparing far a bit of a long hard winter. The honeymoon is over... Nashville is again without a policeman, at least for the remainder of the week. The circumstances that brought on the situation are about the same as circumstances that ha ve brought on the several other terminations of cooperation between the lbw enforcement officer of the village and the people of the village. . , r Nashville is in somewhat the position of a movie queen who has just decided to live separately irom her husband. She issues a statement that a reconciliation is entirely possible but her past record of dumping husbands belies the statement The present unpleasantness came about with the presentation to the village council of a petition de­ manding that officer Parker be immediately dismissed. The petition was signed by 98 people. Getting that number of people in the village to agree on anything is quite an accomplishment in itself. If this were the first time that a number of people were unhappy with the police situation the 98 sig­ natories might carry more creditability. This is not the first time though. We have gone through po­ licemen like Custer went through the Indian country. When the village has a problem with every police officer it has had, perhaps it had better look to itself for the cause and the solution rather than the officer alone. The village which can not keep any policeman is rather like the actress who just can't keep a husband. Sooner or later one gets the notion that she herself might be at fault, or at least one suspects she should share the blame. No one expects a policeman to be loved. The nature of many of his duties are such that he must make decisions and initiate actions that sometimes are inconvenient to say the least. No one enjoys being caught breaking the law. Few of us can smile gayly when we receive a ticket and admit we de­ ________ ______________________________ served it. _______________ There are always circumstances that should have: been taken into consideration. On the other hand, we all tend to look at the other fellow and say he should be ticketed for driving too fast, or he should be taken in for being drunk on the street. So, no matter what the decision the policeman makes, it is almost bound to be unpopular with some group. It would probably not be too difficult to find 98 people who would sign a petition against any police­ man. Perhaps the difficulty comes because we expect our police chief to be infallible. Certainly the man has made some mistakes. It is not impossible to believe that there might be some merit to some of the complaints citizens who attended last Thursday's council meeting made against him. We cannot condone discourtesy by anyone, particularly by a urw officer. On the other hand we cannot condone mob rule and unsupported charges. If the council decides there is not sufficient cause to discharge Chief Parker and if he is going toremain on in Nashville as our law officer, then it would behove every citizen, those who signed the pe­ tition included, to give him every cooperation possible and this includes signing formal complaints against those we would have arrested. If the law is going to be enforced in Nashville at all, it must be enforced with equity. If the law is fair for all there is no cause to complain. Should the council decide not to reinstate Parker, or should he decide he does not want to come back, we might be in trouble. With our record of difficulties with police officers it might not be too easy to find someone willing to risk his reputation for a few months of not too highly paid work for a very unstable employer. Certainly nothing should be done without giving the police officer a chance to hear formal charges made in an open meeting by the person complaining, and without giving him an opportunity to answer these charges. Nashville needs police protection just as much as the big cities do. Let us hope that we can let by­ gones be bygones and that we can live in peace with our peace officer. Nashville merchants plan Fall Festival o f Values The Nashville business people are planning a town-wide l£Sale and Fall Festival of Values for October'19, 20 and 21. A special coverage sec­ tion of the News will be distributed to householders in the area to publicize this sale. Merchants will have special displays and many have already re­ ceived,special sale items to make the weekend shopping in Nashville-wdll worth while. On Saturday, October 21, Buck Barry, popular television cowboy and his horse will be in town to entertain the crowds. Local artists are encouraged to display their work in the park on that day. John Simon, chairman of the retail committee of the Chamber of Commerce says, "this promo­ tion depends upon full support of everyone in the area. Participation by all the business people is very important. " He also said that from the looks of things now, there should be plenty of incentive to come to town to get in on the many bargains. Is graduate student Zane M. Mead, son of Mr. and Mrs. Russell K. Mead, is a graduate student at Michigan State Uni­ versity, doing work in Agricultural Economics. Zane received his Bachelor of Science degree in 1963 from MSU and since his graduation has been with the United States Forest Service. His work was in Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkansas. He spent two yean in the Army and was stationed in West Point, New York with an Engineering Com­ pany. . No School Oct. 5-6 The Maple Valley Schools will be closed on October 5-6 enabling the teachers to attend the Region 8 MEA conference which will be held at the Civic Center in Lansing and other Lansing schools. License suspended Jackpot News In Vermontville last Friday night Florence Bull­ ing collected the $50. jackpot at Spicer's Circle S Variety Store. The new jackpot will be $25. 00. In Nashville, three names were drawn as usual, and there was one winner. He was Fred Ackett. . The other two names drawn were Elizabeth Curtis and Mary Struttman, The scrip was held at Kelleys 5dto$J. 00 Store. October 8 through 14 is National Fire Prevention Week. This is one of the many weeks which really makes sense. They come up with many special weeks which don't mean a thing, but this one we can really get behind. During this week it would be especially nice if each and every one of us made it a spec ial point to let at least one of the firemen know how much we appreciate what they are doing. As one who chases fires, 1 can attest that they put in long, hard, dangerous bouts fighting fires and many more hard hours learning new techniques *nd keepinfl equipment in ih*pe. It is too bad that we have to pick a week to be Fire Prevention Week. Every week should be dedi­ cated to preventing fires and every day should be devoted to making the fireman's job a lot easier.

All members attending. The minutes of the August meeting were read and of one special meeting in August, and were ap­ proved as read. Also present at this meeting were Mr. George Wat­ son, village attorney and Mr. Kenneth Anderson,our engineer to report on progress on proposed sewerage system. Bills were presented. General Fund $394. 07 Street Fund 36. 66 Street Improvement 2, 718. 75 Bond & Interest Maintenance & Operating (Water Works 83ft 08, including audit­ ing. Cleo Prescott moved, LaVance Aldrich sup­ ported the motion that the bills be allowed. Orders drawn on the proper funds. All ayes. Yearly Audit Report was read and accepted. Vernon Trowbridge reported that the Chamber of Commerce and the local Lion's Club have again offered to help cover the cost of adding to the dec­ orations for the village Christmas. If the village will pay one half, the two organizations will split the remainder of the cost of two more strings o f lights. Cleo Prescott moved the offer be accepted. Wm. Sunton supported the motion. All ayes. Clerk to send letters of acceptance to Chamber and Lions. Our newly appointed Deputy, Mr. Thom Keith thinks that a one man police force should have ra­ dio service in his car. He has investigated the mat­ ter and finds a radio can be rented at the rate o f $12. 00 per month, this cost includes repair on ra­ dio. Mr. Keith also asked for proper insurance on self and car. Cleo Prescott moved we rent a radio unit for Mr. Keith. Russel Kerbyson supported the motion. All ayes. Mr. Keith agreed to pay his in­ surance already in effect, the village to pay added > cost. He also needs a siren yith a P. A. system. He agreed that is .he village would buy these articles he will pay for them himself, so much to be de­ ducted from his checks. Clerk reported that the old adding machine is badly in need of cleaning and repair. Permission was granted to have it cleaned and repaired or if cost for this was too high, look into cost of a dif­ ferent one. Attorney George Watson reported on his meeting with the State Water Resources Commission, in the village's behalf, August 29, .1967. We were grant­ ed a six (6) months extension on all counts. We f must submit sewerage plahs June 1, 1968. Surt construction January 1, 1969, complete construc­ tion March 1, 1970. Word has been received that an FHA grant has been approved for a sewerage system in the village of Vermontville, but as there are so many requests for grants from this source and there is only so much money appropriated each year, it would be about six (6) years before there is much of a chance of our receiving any money. Mr. Watson made several other suggestions where a loan might be obtained. The original cost pre­ sented to the Council for sewers was $426, 000. 00. At the rate all costs are rising each year will bring this figure up. Mr. Watson feels that as the cost to individuals as property owners for sewerage will of a necenity be high, a public meeting should be ar­ ranged in the very near future to acquaint the vil­ lagers of this cost. At this meeting all citizens are urged to attend. Mr. Watson and a representative from Williams & Works Engineering Firm will endeavor to explain any questions. Donald Hosey, 10016 Vermontville Highway, has granted the village permission to use as a dump, an old gravel pit on his farm. It will cost the village itself $1, 000. 00 per year. Citizens wishing to use this dump will be charged a small fee. Consumers Power have cut a great many trees in the village. President Trowbridge has asked Kenyon Peabody and LaVance Aldrich to find out about re­ placing trees. All business at hand taken care of, meeting ad­ journed at 11:00 p. m. Vernon Trowbridge, President Leta Nagle, Clerk Local art 1st is guest s peake r at meeting Thirty-eight members and guests of the Nashville Woman's Literary Club met at the home of M rs;. Gordon French on Wednesday, September 27 at 1:30. The club had opened the year with a dinner at Lake­ wood Inn on September 20. but had planned a spec­ ial meeting to welcome and honor the life members and special guests who had been club members in the past.

Mary Holman was the guest speaker. She delight­ ed the group with many of her experiences as a painter. She showed many beautiful sea scapes that she had painted and described Rockport where she had studied and painted. ~ ’ The tea committee. Mrs. Richard Bogart, Mis.

Part of the herd is houses in free stalls and part comfort stalls. An outstanding roughage production and feeding pro­ gram is one of the reasons for this herd's outstanding production. All dairymen and friends are invited to attend this annual tour. Lightning ttrikee tree A seventy-foot June tree, in Mrs. McLaughlin's front yard, was struck by lightning a couple of weeks ago during an early morning thunderstorm. One half of the tree was split open, from top to bottom. r A Lansing tree firm will soon cut down the half of the tree. It is probably at least one hundred Sean old. It was a fair sized tree, when Dr. and Ir*. McLaughlin bought the home, fifty seven yean ago of Mrs. Rolland Sprague, to whom it was left, by Dr. Phillip Green, for many yean a beloved doc­ tor of Vermontville. Youth meeting held A total of 16 teens and 7 adults attended a meeting at Vermontville on September 23rd and discussed the pos­ sibility of forming a Youth Center with activities made available to the young people of the area. Residents from both communities were encouraged to attend this meeting although only those from Vermontville attended. Four team leaders were selected to canvas the com­ munity and ask the people what they desire (if anything) along this line.

The morning worship service is scheduled for 11 a. m. lollowed by a dinner at 12:30 p. m. A special program will begin at 2:30 p. m. with an organ pre­ lude by Mrs. Floyd (Lovelie) Miller. Guest speaker will be Harold Doster, assistant to the president of Bethany college, Bethany, West Virginia. Others appearing on tne program will inclune a vocal solo by a former resident, Mrs. Noreen (Cole) Fox o f Battle Creek; reminiscing by former pastors, a chalk talk by former resident, Mrs. Maxine (Win­ ters) Hawkins of Kalamazoo, and hymns by the congregation. The earliest record of the Briggs church is con­ tained in a history of the M. E. church of North West Assyria dating back to December 30, 1883 and written by Wesley A. Clark, son of Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Clark. His mother, Clorinda, was one of six who organized the first M. E. class at B a 111 e Creek in 1836 and later the North West Assyria church. In the summer of 1854 the people of the Briggs vicinity organized a Sunday school in a log school­ house about a mile south of the present church. It was kept up during the summers with a good a t tendance. In the autumn a minister by the name of Rev. Gee (no first name available) preached once In two weeks on a Sunday evening. In the spring of 1855 the Sunday school was again started and continued through that summer. At this time the school was moved to near where the Eagle school now stands, and the Briggs school was built. Worship services were held in the Briggs school un­ til 1867 when the present church was ouilt on land donated by George L. and Ann Briggs. During the Civil War the Briggs church was in a circuit which included Maple Grove and Kalamo. The ministers were the Rev. Chase, Rev. Hoyt and Rev. Wilkinson. The war caused the congregation to diminish as many went into the service. A "working minister", the Rev. Richards, then came, and during his time steps were taken to build the church. Tne Rev. L. H. Bennett replaced Rev. Rich­ ards. The cornerstone of the church was laid and a Targe addition was made to the Sunday schoollTbrary. The heavier timbers in the church were hewed out by hand and the finished lumber was planed by hand from whitewood boards. The pews in the church are a fine example of the old art of wood-graining. With the new church the congregation continued to grow and a parsonage was built in Nashville with contri­ butions from mis area. From 1871 until 1874 appeared to be a rather hec­ tic time for the church. When the Rev. C. W. Ellis was sent in 1871 the circuits were changed and the Briggs church was "left out". The conference ap­ pointed the Rev. J. M. Aikens, but he failed to show up. A Rev. J. F. Wallace then supplied and a new circuit formed which took in the Bell district. Services were held regularly every Sunday and the balance of the church debt was paid. An effort was made to build a parsonage, but failed. Preachers were again exchanged with Nashville and the con­ stant changing proved a burden to the church caus­ ing a membership drop. In 1874 the church was transferred to the Pennfield circuit. Services were held every two weeks. Later the Rev. Wm. P. Mosher covered six preach­ ing places, three being served each Sunday. The Cobblestone, North Marshall or Cleveland and the Pennfield one week, and the North West or Briggs, Bell and Bouton the next. The church managed to grow, and an active Sunday school in the 1890's numbered 134 members. Around 1910 the young people's Plus Ultra class worked actively for the church, repairing the organ and in 1915 purchased a piano for the church. In 1920 a major project was undertaken and a basement was dug under the church. The formal opening was held in May 1921. With the comple­ tion of the basement the Ladies Aid Society had a place to meet and serve their chicken suppers with- protection We will protect your car as he will protect your children.

Further progress was made in 1931 in the modernization of tne church building. In A­ pril a coal and wood furnace was installed. Elec­ tricity was installed in August with the young peo­ ple of the church helping finance it. In 1946 xthe Briggs church was transferred from the Pennfield circuit to the present circuit with Banfield and Dow­ ling. The chancel of the church was remodeled in 1958. Most of the $900. 00 required was raised by subscription with the Women's Society of Christian Service paying the balance. The WSCS was first organized as the "Ladies Social" on January 26, 1866, for the purpose of raising funds to purchase furnishings for the church.

We’ve at; * et an excelL product Handle dough as little and lightly as possible. Too much handling develops the gluten in the flour and the crust becomes tough. With pastry blender or two knives, scissors fashion, cut one-half of shortening into flour until like cornmeal — for tenderness. Cut in rest of shortening until like large peas—-for flakiness (cut all like peas if extra flaki­ ness is desired). Use light cutting motion—don't mash the fat or overwork it This can cause the fat to become too soft and the mixture will not take up enough water to make pastry flaky. Sprinkle water (cold if flaky pastry desired)'! table­ spoon at a time, over different parts of mixture, tossing quickly with fork until particles stick together when pressed gently and form dough that clings to fork. If more water is needed, add Vz tablespoon at a time just enough to gather dough together. With cupped hands, lightly form dough into small ball and allow to stand 5 minutes before rolling. Divide dough about in half if for two-crust pie. Round up larger part on lightly floured cloth-covered board — the rolling pin covered with stockinette. Flour rubbed into covers keeps dough from sticking—yet is not taken up by dough. Flatten dough bail with hand, roll out not quite Vfe inch thick. Roll the dough with short, light strokes, lifting up as you reach edge so dough doesn't become too thin. Roll about a 12 inch circle. Fold pastry in half and scoop under it with a broad spatula to trans­ fer to pie pan. Unfold. Avoid stretching. Trim off edges with scissors. Roil out other part of dough for top crust a little thinner than for bottom crust and large enough to extend one inch beyond edge of pan. Fold extra edge of top pastry under edge of lower pastry. Seal thoroughly by pressing together on edge of pan. Flute edges and - into the baked shell, make as for 1-crust pie then prick pastry with fork and bake at 475° for 8 minutes. If pastry persists in puffing up, quickly reach in oven, prick again in two places. When cool, pour in filling.

Natural crow predators have been removed, and modem land use presents a virtual smorgasbord for the ever hungry crow. The crow diet consists of 70 per cent vegetable matter, and when this vegetable matter is made up of seed that the farmer has just planted, a crop can be nearly destroyed before it has seen the light of day.

Game a range of flavor delicacy as wide as the variation of the sport in hunting for them. The ouality and flavor of game, however, depends to a very large extent on the care they receive after the hunter has bagged them. The simple rules to follow are these: The birds should be drawn soon after they have been s^t-The body beatsfK>u,b te allowed to dissipate as quickly as possible. The birds should be kept cool or at cold temperatures until they are to be cooked. When testing game birds to determine those which are young and tender the stiffness of the bill is usually significant. If pheasants and grouse, for example, can be lifted by the lower jaw and nothing breaks, they are mature birds whose jaws are set. They will not be as tender and will require more cooking than the younger, less developed birds. Young ducks can be determined in the early part of the season by the slight continuation of the stem of the tail feathers which will extend about one-eighth of an < inch beyond the fibres, a certain indication of a young bird. We wouldn’t fry a stewing chicken; so don’t try to dry roast an old game bird. If you choose the proper method of cooking, the meat is delicious. The following recipes show you the way.

VENISON ROUND STEAK �THE WORLD'S CHAMPION MINIATURE WRITER by Irving Wallace f James W. Zaharee were writing this piece he could I write it in a straight line on a human hair inch long. He has written the 1130 words of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Ad­ Va dress on a hair 2 ¥4 inches long. Under a powerful microscope his lettering is as clear as a line of type. Zaharee attracted world-wide attention when he wrote Lincoln's Gettysburg Address 18 times, the English alphabet 30 times and his own name 34 times on a 2-cent postage stamp, a total of 20,000 characters. To fully appreciate miniature writing one should at­ tempt to write their initials on a hair or on a grain of rice. When Zaharee wrote 9,007 letters on a grain of rice for Robert L. Ripley he won recognition as the world’s cham­ pion minipture writer. Zahare&was not satisfied. Next he wanted to see how much writing he could put on one side of a rice grain. He started by copying the Declaration of Independence and then found room to add the names of the 13 colonies and the 56 signers, making a total of 7,576 characters. One time an elderly industrialist asked Zaharee to make him a copy of his will on a grain of rice. After read­ ing the finished work through a powerful microscope, he beamed, "I’ll bet this is one document they won’t tamper with after I’m gone.” Who induced him to enter such business? A bull! Not the gentle Ferdinand, as one might suppose, but a real tough bull, who got sore when young Jim Zaharee got a teen-age idea of speeding up work on their North Dakota farm by substituting a motorcycle for the pony to round up the herd. When the bull got through with Jim, Jim landed in the hospital. While recovering in the hospital, Zaharee entered some miniature writing contests. He found his skill so proficient he went on to win one contest after another. After a short stint at a teachers college in Minot, North Dakota, Zaharee transferred to the Univer­ sity of Michigan. During all of his collegiate days he con­ tinued his miniature writing contest endeavors. During the years Zaharee has appeared at all the im­ portant state fairs, expositions and even with traveling tent shows, and during this time he has written the names of approximately 250,000 people while they waited for their souvenir grains of rice. The grains of rice are so small that he glues them on cards. It has been estimated that he has written between ten and twelve million characters on tiny grains of rice since the bull tangled with his motorcycle. To see Zaharee, who has a build of a football player and the hands of a blacksmith, you would never guess he was the world’s smallest writer. His best work is 1/2000 the size of average writing.

Between times he acts as an unprotesting pet for the neighborhood children. Jake’s Boxer ancestry is akin to all bull-dog types. He is full of courage and stamina and very few fleas. Though only two years old, Jake springs from a line of dogs known throughout Europe since the 16th century. In spite of Jake’s outstand­ ing characteristics which put him in a class all by himself, he shares a common phobia with every other hound in the neighborhood. Jake hates to take a bath. There is no simple way to overcome this problem, except to give Jake a bath whether he likefe^it or not. Jake doesn’t appreciate the gift. If Jake would just stand still in one spot he could be washed and simonized right along with the family automobile. But he won’t cooperate.

NASHVILLE. MICHIGAN. OCTOBER 12, 1987 UltMVlIlt �Serves church 50 years Trends change over the years, even in church habits. In the horse and buggy days, particularly in the rural communities, one attended church and Sunday school in the immediate neighborhood. If one moved, new associations were made and t he local church became the focal point of worship. The little country church, as well as the school were the puclee’ of rural activity. This is not true nowadays. With travel made easy, one may continue to attend his regular church though it may mean driving a considerable distance on a Sunday to be with old friends. These are conclusions drawn by Floyd Miller, a Sunday school teacher in the Briggs Methodist church on Lacey road southwest of Nashville for 50 years. The Briggs church observed its centennial on October 8, and Mr. Miller has been associated with the church for more than half that time. As a youngster he was enrolled in a Sunday school class with Mrs. Guy C. Kellar as the teacher. Follow­ ing her was Mrs. Lucy Marshall The class was a n active group. In order to participate in the social events the students were required to be in Sunday school at least one Sunday in four. By the time Floyd was in his teens he recalls they were always arranging for special programs whereby they would bring in guest speakers and sell tickets to finance such events. The class was known as the "Plus Ul­ tra. " Then in 1916 Floyd was prevailed upon to teach the class. At the time the membership was made up of teen-agers who were single. However as the clan members married the "Plus Ultras" became the a­ dults, and has continued as such down through the years. Several of the members have been in the class as long as their teacher. Teaching the same group year after year has meant extra time spent in preparing lessons for Mr. Miller. He has not Deen able to pull from his files some previously prepared talk. Much of his success has undoubtedly been due to his intent study of the Holy Land and the use of maps. "I attempt to get participation by the members, several who have been in my class the entire 5 0 years. I often tell them that if they don't uke part in the discussions, then I am going to 'lecture' to them. It usually works. " The class varies in mem­ bership from 20 to less. Mr. Miller has been active in Assyria politics for 30" yean, ten yean each as a justice of the peace, as trustee and as supervisor. He was chairman of the Barry County Board of Supervisors in 1963-64. For 15 yean he has served as chairman of the Barry County Soil and Water Conservation, served 32 yean as a member of the board for the Briggs sch x>l district and for six yean was director of the Lacey Telephone company. Mr. Miller's wife, Lovelle, has been organist at the church many years. --Photo by Gladys Richardson USED CAR VALUES! 1966 Mercury Montery, 4 Dr. Breezway Sedan, Automatic, Power Steering & Brakes, Radio, This car is like new inside 4 out.

LEON FRITH Leonard Service NASHVILLE 0L3-6050 �ELECTRIC WATER HEATERS CAN BE INSTALLED ANYWHERE SEE YOUR ELECTRIC WATER HEATER DEALER PE-D-1371-5 PUBLISHED BY CONSUMERS POWER Police Chief gives resignation The Nashville village council met in special ses­ sion Thursday evening and voted unanimously to ac­ cept with regret the resignation of Police Chief Rob­ ert Parker. A week ago a petition, signed by 98 persons, was presented the council asking for the dismissal of Parker. No specific charge was made against the . Police Chief who had served Nashville for nearly two years. Some 25 of the signers attended tne meeting last week and stated Parker had been dis­ courteous and insulting, and his interpretations of the law had varied for different persons. At that time the council voted to suspend Mr. Parker for a week while the police committee investigated the matter. Following the acceptance of the resignation Vil­ lage President L James Rizor appointed, with ap­ proval of the council, Donald Langham who had previously served on the Police department several years ago. as Acting Village Marshal. Meanwhile the council is accepting applications for the posi­ tion of Police Chief. These persons seeking the po­ sition will be carefully screened before anyone is hired. Five persons visited the council meeting Thurs­ day evening to listen to the action of the council Before the meeting was adjourned the President Ri­ zor pointed out the importance of cooperation of the citizens and the police department and stressed the fact that all animosity should now be dropped. Before another Police Chief is hired it appears more definite rules and regulations will be made, and quite probably in the future any police com­ plaints will be turned over to the police committee — Open&ttrt' The type of funeral ser­ vice desired is decided by the bereaved family, in consultation with the cler­ gyman and funeral direc­ tor. 199 ACRE FARM--with 190 level workland; mod­ em 9 room home; large bams and hog house; 35 , acres for wheat; all tilled; terms. • LARGE DAIRY OR BEEF FARM—about 3 miles from Charlotte; good 6 room home with new attached Se; ample barn room; about 180 acres are le, and most seeded to alfalfa; financing ; can be arranged. * > ■„ COUNTRY HOME ON M-66—one story; attached ! garage; you must see all of this property, inside j and out to appreciate the low price of $12, 750; ; only $2, 000 down; all furniture is available.

Rev. James Varner and Carroll Wolff, Superintendent of the Maple Valley school, both workers for the United Fund, were also shown with Mr. Bontsema at the Kick-off affair. --News Photo The Maple Valley School Board voted to offer a contract to Mrs. Clara Squires who has been serving as library aid at Fuller and Kellogg schools plus working as a noon hour supervisor. They also vot­ ed to contract with Mrs. Sylvia Williams to teach kindergarten mornings. The noard voted unanimously against inviting Jenison school to join the Expressway league. It was the opinion of the board' members that consid­ ering the rapid growth of Jenison (expected enroll­ ment when becoming a twelve grade high school in 1971 is 5, 000 students) they could not really be in the league long. Because the schedules for this year and next year are already made up by the time Jenison started to participate in sports they would have outgrown the other members of the league. — They also agreed to purchase a tractor for gener­ al school maintenance. The tractor is to have a mower and a snow removal blade. The board also discussed the sale of property which is to take place on November 11. Two build­ ings, Mayo and Kalamo schools, will be sold at that time. Two pick-up trucks and one cut-down school bus will be sold at that time as well as a heavy fire proof door, that was used in the old Nashville high school and some old school furniture and typewrit­ ers.

Bi. �BACKSTREET BAROMETER I was talking to a friend of mine about the riots in Detroit as we ate lunch the other day and he re­ peated a remark he had heard a philosopher make concerning the negroes. This man said the negro must be taught to nave pride in being a negro, or at least he must develop a pride in his er’- 'ic back­ ground. This man was of the opinion that when the black man took pride in being black he could go on to better things. I think this is true. It is true not only in the negro ghetto situation but it is true of all life. I think a great many small, rural communities are in trouble for the same reason the negro is in the ghetto. Often we have lost that touch of pride whicn one should have in his town. W ithout this pride a community starts on the road down hill. This week many of the merchants of Nashville are showing us that they have pride in what they have to sell. They have so much pride that they have sponsored a special advertising piece to go out in the area to draw people in to town. The rest of us can help with this promotion. We can join in the fun and we can get out and shop in the home-town stores. Perhaps if we can keep up this spirit of pride, and with it, a bit of fun, we can put this town on the map! by john boughtoll News Photos She has walked from way down in front to the exit, which is quite a climb, and was happily laughing and puffing Last Friday night I attended an Art Show over at Kalamazoo and it was a show to end all shows! The paintings were done by a friend and a teacher of ours, and along with them were ceramics by another friend. The high-point of the evening, though, was music by a Psychadelic band which would drive you right out of your gray cells! For some reason, those bands turn the gain on the PA system so high that the walls move. The kids liked the music, though. They thought it was real coot The place was really jumping with Hippies, or at least people dressed like Hip­ pies - with daisies pointed on their cheeks. It was a blast and even such an old goat as I got a real kick out of the affair. Amy and I went to the Michigan-MichiganState le last Saturday and I did something I nave wShted to do for some time. I took my camera along, with a long lens on it and took pictures not of the game - but of faces in the crowd. This girl is tired also from the lojg walk up to the exit of the stadium. Now with only a few more steps to go, she closes her eyes and heaves sigh of relief. The business man type here didn't seem too impressed with the way the game was going at this point. I don’t know what it was a­ bout this pair that attracted my eye. out I can tell you that some other men in the stands took a few moments off from watching the game to cast an eye on this couple. They seem to be waiting ; and watching for someone or something. Perhaps they are wondering what has become of the boys who took off to get hot dogs and coffee. Parent-Teacher Conferences scheduled for Oct. 26-27 You can rest assured the boys will return and you can also rest assured the girls will con­ tinue to relieve some of the eye-strain of watching the teams on the field. . There can be little doubt that this fellow is pulling for State. It is not difficult to figure out that his team has just made another score. I have no idea who any of these people are, but I did know who was cheering for which side. This fellow's smile got bigger with each long gain by MSU. . The straw boater was just the thing for the Indian Summer weather we enjoy­ ed at the game. ThiFman seemed happy with the score of the game as he walked out of the stadium.

And proper operation is safe operation, says J i m Shaw, safety chairman. Maple Valley Chapter of the Future Farmers of America. The Chapter is participating in a nationwide pro­ gram to reduce accidents during the com harvest­ ing seasons. The Safe Com Harvest Program is sponsored by the Farm and Industrial Equipment In­ stitute and the National Safety Council "A safe corn picker operator has only about one chance in a million of being hurt on a picker or combine in the next five years, while the average operator stands one in 25, according to the Univer­ sity of Illinois College of Agriculture, " Jim said. A careless operator has a 50-50 chance of being seriously injured in the next five years. " " The U. of I. study showed the average corn picker loses 10 per cent of the yield. " Jim said. "But one operator in five loses only half this much, while another almost doubjes the average loss. " Fuller PTA Officers have met to plan the first FuUer street PTA meeting of the year.

Vermont­ ville Michigan, September 8th. , 1966. The periods I wish to talk about are the forma­ tive and development years of the village, namely 1836 to the early 1920's, and of the men who ran the businesses of those times, and let me say Ver­ montville was a very busy place. The business areas of Vermontville really devel­ oped in three places; Main Street, an area north­ cast of the Methodist Church, and around the rail­ road station. The first stock of goods offered for sale in the village was brought from Bellevue by Wells R. Mar­ tin and Stephen Scovill, both original Colonists, but the first regular store was not established until 1846-47 when Hale & Frink opened one in the low­ er story of the Academy, now known as the Chapel. The business district first started where Mrs. Beck's house now stands, (just north of the Methodist church) and 1 suppose tlie first two or three stores were in that area, but they soon moved one block jouth and developed the Main Street as it now is. The firm of Frink &. Barber came next, Homer G. Barber succeeding Mr. Hale in 1855, and they were followed by D. F. Barber Co., who sold out tn 186.3. Let me just say a word about Homer G. Bar­ ber. He was the son of E. H. Barber, one of the or • iginal settlers and was about 10 yean of age when brought to Vermontville, and exerted a great in­ fluence on the community during his entire life­ time. For the benefit of our Charlotte guests he was one of the organizers and officers of The Eaton County Bank, and two of his grandsons, Ned B. Al­ so ver and Phil H. Barber were officers in that bank for many years, Phil retiring as President only a couple of yean ago. Homer Barber was also a half brother of Albert Barber who ran a grocery in Char­ lotte for many, many years, Homer Barner also ’ was’one of those who sailed around the Hom to Cal­ ifornia during the 1849 Gold Rush. Well, anyway, the firm of Barber & Martin, (Homer G. Barber and Henry J. Manin) was organized May 15th, 1863 and continued for 10 years. Henry Martin was a son of Wells R. Martin, and was the choir leader of the Congregation Church for many yean. On the dissolution of this firm, Mr. Martin continued bus­ iness with John Downing for 5 years and after that by himself to 1890. The old business established in 1853 was co ntinued by the firm of Barber, Hull and Ambrose. Both Fred A. Hull and Chester A. Ambrose having been clerks in the old store. In 1883 Hull sold his interest to Sidney S. Rockwell, the business con­ tinuing under the firm name of Barber, Ambrose & Rockwell. Homer G. Barber continued in trade until his death in 1909. His drygoods store, south across the street from the bank, was one of the finest in the County. In company with his son, Edw. D. Bar­ ber, a hardware and furniture store was organized, and is still operating in the same building under the ownership of Dale Briggs. Barbers sold the store to Hance Hammond and he to Mr. Dickey. Several others have owned it up to and including Mr. Briggs. In 1872 Mr. Barber started a private bank located in the rear of his dry goods store which remained there until it was reorganized as the Barber State Bank and moved across the street. It is still there, but now owned by the Michigan National Bank. Wm. C. Alsover was the first cash­ ier, followed by Chas. A. Stiles. Another general store was started in June 1854 by Wells R. Martin and John F. Hinman who was from Battle Creek. In about a year Mr. Hinman was succeeded by A. H. Proctor for 2 years when the business known as W. R. Martin & Co. passed in 1859 to the new firm of Benedict & Martin, namely Wm. H. Benedict and Henry J. Martin. Mr. Benedict's interest was later purchased by Mr. Martin and the business contin­ ued by the latter until 1863 when the firm of Bar­ ber & Manin was organized and the stocks of the two stores were consolidated. Wm. H. Benedict, son of the Rev. W. U. Bene­ dict, second pastor of the Congregational church, later engaged in the grocery business, and up until the tune ot tus death was a leading grocer, grain, wool, and provision dealer. Mr. Benedict, inciden­ tally, built the fint grain elevator in the town and rebuilt it after it was destroyed by fire in 1900, and continued to operate it until it was purchased by my father, Charles A. Anderson, who a littly later took in as a partner Joiui H. Gearhart, they operat­ ing the business as a partnership for a few years DON'T we don't take “dsort-cuts* ir^hgning wheels. You know it's done right when you have them aligned here. TrowbrldfSilei 1 Servlet 130 S. Main, 'Verrnootville * Ph 250-7285 when Mr. Anderson repurchased Mr. Gearhart's in­ terest and operated it as sole owner until he sold it to the Citizens Elevator Co. in 1920. So really the elevator has been operated under as few owners as any business in town. Other merchants and traders who followed in ,the footsteps of these men, although not identified with the early settlers, did operate thriving businesses and helped in the growth and development of the village. The first-hotel was built by Wells R. Mar­ tin, one of the original Colonists, using his house as such, which still stands, namely the first house south of the Opera House. The upper story of a brick business block which stood where the Opera House and Standard Oil Station are now located, was used as a hotel under the ownership of a Dan­ cer family who were the parents of Mrs. Edw. D. Bar­ ber. The New England Hotel, which was built ex­ pressly for a hotel, stood just north of the Chapel where Nick's gas station is now located, known la­ ter as the Follette House, and later still as the Park Hotel, was erected in 1855 by James Tufford, later owned by S. A. Gunn, the Marble family and Arthur Allen. Another hotel stood on the SW cor­ net of 2nd and South Main under the ownership of several people, amongst them were Mr. Sherman, Mr. Alf Briggs, Mr. Warren French, Mr. Helm and Mr. Cook. It was later used as a funeral home, but is now used as a residence. The newspaper called the Vermontville ENTER­ PRISE was established in 1874 by J. C. Worcester, it was sold to G. W. Hoskins, and later to F. M. Potter who changed its name to the Vermontville Hawk. Its name was again changed to the Vermontville Echo and was owned and operated by several peo­ ple, some being Mr. Sherman, H. H. Curtis, LeRoy Snell and O. E. McLaughlin. It just recently merged with the Nashville News, and the two papers being issued under the name of the Maple Valley News. As I said before, there were three areas of busi­ ness development in the town. First let us consider Main Street: At the time of my first recollection of the town, around the early 1900's, there were four doctors practicing here, namely Drs. Green, Par­ menter, Charles & Frank Snell, who were followed by Drs. McEachran and McLaughlin. There was also a dentist, Dr. Monkman, who was followed by Dr. Harry Davis. The first veterinarian was Dr. George Davis. C. E. Hammond & Son ran a book and shoe store, also furniture and the town undertaker. Later the first movie was located in one of his buildings. Above his store was die Citizens Tele­ phone Co., with five employees. Mr. Charles Hall ran a pool room and bowling alley, later a skating rink. Mr. Helm had a harness shop. Some of the grocers were the Benedicts, the Ambroses, Ambrose, Moore and Sparks, Allen & Andrews, Allen Eckhart & Lentz, W. H. Miller and Roy Mathews. The Citi­ zens Bank was organized with C. C. Hallenbeck as President and Arthur Bamingham as Cashier. E. B. Hammond had a fine jewelry store and watch re­ pair. A dress making shop next door. Some of the barber shop operators were Rex Briggs, the Hawkins,' Fox Brothen, Chas. Warner, and George Finter. There was a saloon. Alderman's Meat Market, who was succeeded by Henry Mull, later by Mull & Eck­ hart, and one operated by John Bamingham. Bar­ ber's dry goods store, and next door south Lamb's Grocery which later moved across the street, after which Lamb's Hdwe & Implement Co. was estab­ lished in the old store. There were three drug stores, Hull's, Willet s and the Loveland Bros, who were just getting started. Wm. Imes had a dry goods store and his wife a millinery shop, as did Mn. Da­ vid Purchase. O. M. Folger had a produce and feed store, also sold implements as did A. K. Walker, Serol Powen, Ernest Granger and Cal Gehman. Mr. James and Chas. Fleming had a shoe store. Mr. Geo. Seitz had a shoe repair shop and Mr. John Downing ran an ice cream store. Mr. Kemp started a bakery followed by Elias Cole. Geo. McWha ran a pool room. Roy Lamb, Barber Bros, and Louie Lamb started the fint auto agencies. Both hardware and implement dealen handled buggies, wagons,sleighs and cutters. Another development was North East of the Meth­ odist church. It contained two blacksmith shops, run by Amas Kidder and E. L. Jones, later bo(Jj by Wm. Sherrard. Two wagon makers, Mr. Hyde and Mr. Don Hawkins, followed by Mr. Tom Gilson, Herman Zemke operated a feed mill, later by Fred Benedict, then Frank Beck. Elmer Hammond ran a livery stable. There was also a livery stable and skating rink on East First street. Mr. Dorman's blacksmith shop was on East Second street, and a livery barn on West Second St. run at various times by Mr. Kelly. Roy Lamb, Mr. Dean and Mel Bilderbeck. The livery stables also operated hacks to and from the railroad station carrying passen­ gers to and from the- hotels. Mr. E. L. Jones built an addition to his blacksmith shop and started the first auto repair garage, which is the building now owned by the village for storing their street equip­ ment. Kir. Jones was followed by Karl Weiler. Geo. Knowles, Allie Carr, Kenneth Miles and Lynn Grant. Northeast of the town square a couple oi blocks was a brick yard, apple dryer and a crate milt Mr. Joe Beck operated a cheese factory in the hollow just east of Mr. Rawson's house on East Main Street After the arrival of the railroad in 1868 business development started around the depot. The first ■ elevator stood where the present one stands which replaced the original after it was destroyed by fire. The same fire also destroyed Stebbins feed and flour mill which was just to the west. The now va­ cant lot north of the elevator was the location of many businesses. One was a furniture factory, THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1067 whose boiler blew up-killing one employee, the building being destroyed in the ensuing fire, The factory was connected to a warehouse by an overhead tramway, which was located on the railroad ’just southwest of the factory. This warehouse was used after the fire, as a hay barn where hay buy­ ers collected the baled hay and loaded it out in box cars for shipment. John Rhodes was one of the old time buyers, as was Frank Lype and Cal Gehman. It was also used as an apple packing station where apples were bought and packed in barrels for shipment. The lot also contained a cooper shop, just across from the lumber yard, where barrels were made for apple packing. There was also Mr. Browning's feed mill which burned. Mr. Fuller's saw mill occupied the old furniture factory site, until it was moved across South Main street just east from the elevator. Mr. Bodine also had his wood lot there. Mr. Barna Kelly had his home and dray barn on the same property from which he op­ erated a dray line, hauling the freight and U. S. mail to and from the depot and business district. He was succeeded by Charles Park. Just west of the depot was the stock yards out of which live stock buyers operated. Wm. Hickey and the Powers Bros, among others, buying enough stock each week to - usually fill three or four cars. The ground just south of the Depot was used for storage of logs, lumber and sugar beets which were snipped out by the car-load each fall and winter. There were three coal yards, operated by the Elevator, the Lumber Yards and Mr. Chas. Dorman. The cream ery was located just east and across the street from the elevator. Mr. Brown, Mr. Best and Wm. Moore were three of the butter makers. It's principalprod­ uct of course, was butter, which was shipped out by refrigerator car once each week. The Railroad Station was one of the busiest places in town. For a few years it was open 24 hours a day, other than that it was operated by either one or two men, the agent and the clerk, incidentally, my father,Chas. A. Anderson came to Vermontville as the agent, he in turn followed by Glen D. Eddy, and several oth­ ers in later years. There were ten passenger trains each day, two local freights, two through mer­ chandise freights, two stock extras per week which carried nothing but livestock destined to Detroit and Buffalo, and an occasional extra to take care of the surplus traffic. The Lumber Yard, which was'operated by Frank P. Town, later by Bowman &. Waring, then Elo Bowman, followed by Wilsons, is still where it al­ ways was although no longer used as such, being now used for farm implement storage. Just north of the lumber yard was Mr. Lackey's carpenter shop. There were other types of businesses operated from various parts of the town, such as Mr. Frank J. Baily and Mr. Frank Remalie who were sheet met­ al workers and tin smiths. They applied metal ceilings, steel roofs, eavestroughing and other met­ al work and repair.

The periods I wish to talk about are the forma­ tive and development years of the village, namely 1836 to the early 1920's, and of the men who ran the businesses of those times, and let me say Ver­ montville was a very busy place. The business areas of Vermontville really devel­ oped in three places; Main Street, an area north­ east of the Methodist Church, and around the rail­ road station. The first stock of goods offered for sale in the village was brought from Bellevue by Wells R. Mar­ tin and Stephen Scovill, both original Colonists, but the first regular store was not established until 1846-47 when Hale & Frink opened one in the low­ er story of the Academy, now known as the Chapel. The business district first started where Mrs. Beck's house now stands, (just north of the Methodist church) and 1 suppose the first two or three stores were in that area, but they soon moved one block jouth and developed the Main Street as it now is. The firm of Frink & Barber came next, Homer G. Barber succeeding Mr. Hale in 1855, and they were followed by D. F. Barber Co., who sold out tn 1863. Let me just say a word about Homer G. Bar­ ber. He was the son of E. H. Barber, one of the or • iginal settlers and was about 10 years of age when brought to Vermontville, and . exerted a great in­ fluence on the community during his entire life­ time. For the benefit of our Charlotte guests he was one of the organizers and officers of The Eaton County Bank, and two of his grandsons, Ned B. Al­ so ver and Phil H. Barber were officers in that bank for many years, Phil retiring as President only a couple of years ago. Homer Barber was also a half brother of Albert Barber who ran a grocery in Char­ lotte for many, many years, Homer Barner also was one of those who sailed around the Hom to Cal­ ifornia during the 1849 Gold Rush. Well, anyway, -the firm of Barber & Martin, (Homer G. Barber and Henry J. Manin) was organized May 15th, 1863 and continued for 10 years. Henry Manin was a son of Wells R. Manin, and was the choir leader of the Congregation Church for many years. On the dissolution of this firm, Mr. Manin continued bus­ iness with John Downing for 5 years and after that by himself to 1890. The old business established in 1853 was co n tinued by the firm of Barber, Hull and Ambrose. Both Fred A. Hull and Chester A. Ambrose having been clerks in the old store. In 1883 Hull sold his interest to Sidney S. Rockwell, the business con­ tinuing under the firm name of Barber, Ambrose & Rockwell. Homer G. Barber continued in trade until his death in 1909. His drygoods store, south across the street from the bank, was one of the finest in the County. In company with his son, Edw. D. Bar­ ber, a hardware and furniture store was organized, and is still operating in the Mme building under the ownership of Dale Briggs. Barbers sold the store to Hance Hammond and he to Mr. Dickey. Several others have owned it up to and including Mr. Briggs. In 1872 Mr. Barber started a private bank located in the rear of his dry goods store which remained there until it was reorganized as the Barber State Bank and moved across the street. It is still there, but now owned by the Michigan National Bank. Wm. C. A Isover was the first cash­ ier. followed by Chas. A. Stiles. Another general store was started in June 1854 by Wells R. Martin and John F. Hinman who was from Battle Creek. In about a year Mr. Hinman was succeeded by A. H. Proctor for 2 years when the business known as W. R. Martin &. Co. passed in 1859 to the new firm of Benedict & Martin, namely Wm. H. Benedict and Henry J. Manin. Mr. Benedict's interest was later purchased by Mr. Manin and the business contin­ ued by the latter until 1863 when the firm of Bar­ ber & Martin was organized and the stocks of the two stores were consolidated. Wm. H. Benedict, son of the Rev. W. U. Bene­ dict, second pastor of the Congregational church, later engaged in the grocery business, and up until the tune of his aeath was a leading grocer, grain, wool, and provision dealer. Mr. Benedict, inciden­ tally, built the fint grain elevator in the town and rebuilt it after it was destroyed by fire in 1900, and continued to operate it until it was purchased by my father, Charles A. Anderson, who a little later took in as a partner John H. Gearhan, they operat­ ing the business as a partnership for a few years DON'T your Car vft don't take "short-cuts" Maligning wheels. You know it's done right when you have them aligned here. 180 S. Main, Vermontville * Ph 258-7285 when Mr. Anderson repurchased Mr. Gearhart’s in­ terest and operated it as sole owner until he sold it to the Citizens Elevator Co. in 1920. So really the elevator has been operated under as few owners as any business in town. ,i Other merchants and traders who followed in the footsteps of these men, although not identified with the early settlers, did operate thriving businesses and helped in the growth and development of the village. The first-hotel was built by Wells R. Mar­ tin. one of tile original Colonists, using his house as such, which still stands, namely the first house­ south of the Opera House. The upper story of a brick business block which stood where the Opera House and Standard Oil Station are now located, was used as a hotel under the ownership of a Dan­ cer family who were the parents of Mrs. Edw. D. Bar­ ber. The New England Hotel, which was built ex­ pressly for a hotel, stood just north of the Chapel where Nick's gas station is now located, known la­ ter as the Follette House, and later still as the Park Hotel, was erected in 1855 by James Tufford, later owned by S. A. Gunn, the Marble family and Arthur Allen. Another hotel stood on the SW cor­ ner of 2nd and South Main under the ownership of several people, amongst them were Mr. Sherman. Mr. Alf Briggs, Mr. Warren French, Mr. Helm and Mr. Cook. It was later used as a funeral home, but is now used as a residence. The newspaper called the Vermontville ENTER-. PRISE was established in 1874 by J. C. Worcester, it was sold to G. W. Hoskins, and later to F. M. Potter who changed its name to the Vermontville Hawk. Its name was again changed to the Vermontville Echo and was owned and operated by several peo­ ple, some being Mr. Sherman, H. H. Curtis. LeRoy Snell and O. E. McLaughlin. It just recently merged with the Nashville News, and the two papers being issued under the name of the Maple Valley News. As I said before, there were three areas of busi­ ness development in the town. First let us consider Main Street: At the time of mv first recollection of the town, around the early 1900's, there were four doctors practicing here, namely Drs. Green, Par­ menter, Charles & Frank Snell, who were followed by Drs. McEachran and McLaughlin. There was also a dentist, Dr. Monkman, who was followed by Dr. Harry Davis. The first veterinarian was Dr. George Davis. C. E. Hammond & Son ran a book and shoe store, also furniture and the town undertaker. Later the first movie was located in one of his buildings. Above his store was the Citizens Tele­ phone Co., with five employees. Mr. Charles Hall ran a pool room and bowling alley, later a skating rink. Mr. Helm had a harness shop. Some of the grocers were the Benedicts, the Ambroses, Ambrose, Moore and Sparks, Allen & Andrews, Allen Eckhart & Lentz, W. FL Miller and Roy Mathews. The Citi­ zens Bank was organized with C. C. Hallenbeck as President and Arthur Bamingham as Cashier. E. B. Hammond had a fine jewelry store and watch re­ pair. A dress making shop next door. Some of the barber shop operators were Rex Briggs, the Hawkins,' Fox Brothen, Chas. Warner, and George Firster. There was a saloon, Alderman's Meat Market, who was succeeded by Henry Mull, later by Mull & Eck­ hart, and one operated by John Barningham. Bar­ ber's dry goods store, ana next door south Lamb's Grocery which later moved across the street, after which Lamb's Hdwe & Implement Co. was estab­ lished in the old store. There were three drug stores, Hull's, Willet's and the Loveland Bros, wno were just getting started. Wm. Imes had a dry goods store and his wife a millinery shop, as did Mrs. Da­ vid Purchase. O. M. Folger had a produce and feed store, also sold implements as did A. K. Walker, Serol Powers, Ernest Granger and Cal Gehman. Mr. James and Chas. Fleming had a shoe store. Mr. Geo. Seitz had a shoe repair shop and Mr. John Downing ran an ice cream store. Mr. Kemp started a bakery followed by Elies Cole. Geo. McWha ran a pool room. Roy Lamb, Barber Bros, and Louie Lamb started the first auto agencies. Both hardware and implement dealers handled buggies, wagons,sleighs and cutters. Another development was North East of the Meth­ odist church. It contained two blacksmith shops, run by Amas Kidder and E. L. Jones, later both by Wm. Sherrard. Two wagon makers, Mr. Hyde and Mr. Don Hawkins, followed by Mr. Tom Gifion. Herman Zemke operated a feed mill, later by Fred Benedict, then Frank Beck. Elmer Hammond ran a livery stable. There was also a livery stable and skating rink on East First street. Mr. Dorman's blacksmith shop was on East Second street, and a livery barn on West Second St. run at various • times by Mr. Kelly. Roy Lamb, Mr. Dean and Mel Bilderbeck. The livery stables also operated hacks to and from the railroad station carrying passen­ gers to and from the hotels. Mr. E. L. Jones built an addition to his blacksmith shop and started the fint auto repair garage, which is the building now owned by the village for storing their street equip­ ment. Mr. Jones was followed by Karl Weiler, Geo. Knowles. Allie Carr. Kenneth Miles and Lynn Grant. Northeast of the town square a couple ot blocks was a brick yard, apple dryer and a crate milL Mr. Joe Beck operatea a cheese factory in the hollow just east of Mr. Rawson's house on East Main Street. After the arrival of the railroad in 1868 business development suited around the depot. The fint • elevator stood where the present one Rands which replaced the original after it was destroyed by fire. The Mme fire also destroyed Stebbins feed and flour mill which was just to the west. The now va­ cant lot north of the elevator was the location of many businesses. One was a furniture factory. THE MAPLE VALLEY NEWS. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 19. 1987 whose boiler blew up killing one employee, the building being-destroyed in the ensuing fire, The factory was connected to a warehouse by an over­ head tramway, which was located on the railroad ‘just southwest of the factory. This warehouse was used after the fire, as a hay barn where hay buy­ ers collected the baled hay and loaded it out in box cars for shipment. John Rhodes was one of the old time buyers, as was Frank Lype and Cal Gehman. It was also used as an apple packing station where apples were bought and packed in barrels for shipment. The lot also contained a coopershop, just across from the lumber yard, where barrels were made for apple packing. There was also Mr. Browning's feed mill which burned. Mr. Fuller's saw mill occupied tlie old furniture factory site, until it was moved across South Main street just east from the elevator. Mr. Bodine also had his wood lot there. Mr. Barna Kelly had his home and dray barn on the same property from which he op­ erated a dray line, hauling the freight and U. S. mail to and from the depot and business district. 1 He was succeeded by Cliarles Park. Just west of the depot was the stock yards out of which live stock buyets operated. Wm. Hickey and the Powers Bros, buyers B ~ among others, buying enough stock each week to - usually fill three or four tour cars. cars The “ ground just south of the Depot was used for storage of logs, lumber and‘ sugar beets out by 1' ‘ which were snipped .. the car-load each fall and winter. There were three coal yards, operated by the Elevator, the Lumber Yards and Mr. Chas. Dorman. The cream ery was located just east and across the street from the elevator. Mr. Brown, Mr. Best and Wm. Moore were three of the butter makers. It's principal prod­ uct of course, was butter, which was shipped out by refrigerator car once each week. The Railroad Station was one of the busiest places in town. For a few years it was open 24 hours a day, other than that it was operated by either one or two men, the agent and the clerk. Incidentally, my father.Chas. A. Anderson came to Vermontville as the agent, he in turn followed by Glen D. Eddy, and several oth­ ers in later years. There were ten passenger trains each day, two local freights, two through mer­ chandise freights, two stock extras per week which carried nothing but livestock destined to Detroit and Buffalo, and an occasional extra to take care of the surplus traffic. The Lumber Yard, which was operated by Frank P. Town, later by Bowman &. 'Waring, then Elo Bowman, followed by Wilsons, is still where it al­ ways was although no longer used as such, being now used for farm implement storage. Just nortn of the lumber yard was Mr. Lackey's carpenter shop.,. There were other types of businesses operated from various parts of the town, such as Mr. Frank J. Baily and Mr. Frank Remalie who were sheet met­ al workers and tin smiths. They applied metal ceilings, steel roofs, eavestroughuig and other met­ al work and repair. A fine example of Mr. Bally's work is the ceiling in the Congregational church. Then there were teamsters who hauled gravel for the roads in the summer, ice for the ice houses and logs for the saw mills and for shipment in the winter. Also well men, pumpmen, windmill men, amongst whom were E J. Tyler, Mr. Ike Nortan • and John Gaut. Mr. Eugene Olin and Mr. Boardman operated an ice delivery in the summer. Mr. Milt Nortan operated a photograph gallery and racket store Henry and Moses Cross, the Lackeys, Leon Clapper, Fred Boyd, Ben Kline, Walter Boyles were carpenters. Mr. Morey and Silas Shepard were stone masons, Dan Snoke and Fred Hopper painters and paper hangen. There were fur buyers, and Mr. Herb Cross had a cider mill on the South West cor­ ner just south of the river bridge. Among others who did not own their own busi­ nesses, but spent their lives on Main street and were certainly an important pan of the town, and highly respected and as much a part of the institu­ tions in which they worked were Frank Ambrose with Barber Dry Goods Store, M.

CM �FROM EATON QQUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT Qualified to administer breath test for drinking drivers If you're arrested for drunk driving in Eaton County, there's a good —J chance ------- "--------you will “* find’ out * what the Breathal ~—-L_lyzer is all about. According to Ei ~ . Smith, Merlin Anderson, Deputy Sheriff has just completed a one-week Breathalyzer training pro­ gram at Michigan State University's Highway Traf­ fic Safety Center and is now fully qualified to ad­ minister the breath test to persons arrested for drunk driving. On November 2 of this year, Michigan's new " implied consent" law goes into effect. Simply stated, this means that a driver has given his con­ sent to take a chemical test for alcohol if arrested for driving while under the influence of intoxicat­ ing liquor. Refusal to take a chemical test could result in the automatic suspension or revocation of the driver’s license. William E. Barber, couue director at the High­ way Traffic Safety Center, said that the success­ ful completion of classroom and laboratory course work by Deputy Merlin Anderson has given Eaton County the capability of effectively enforcing the law against drunk drivers. Barber also complimented Eaton County for being one of the first communities to train its of­ ficers to take action against the driver, who by his excessive drinking, shows little regard for other drivers and pedestrians. The three most common chemical tests for al­ cohol now being given analyze the driver's blood, breath or urine. However, the new law states that a driver has the option to demand that only a breath test be given. The test findings are admissable as court evidence and could work either for or against the defendant depending upon the test results. Since it is assumed that a high percentage of drunk driving suspects will demand the breath, test, it is essential that Breathalyzer test instru­ ments and qualified police operaton be available throughout the state. To meet this need, the Michigan Law Enforce-> ment Officer's Training Council, the Michigan Department of Health, Department of State Pol­ ice and MSU's Highway Traffic Safety Center have teamed together to conduct a mammoth training program in East Lansing. Sheriff Smith also states that Deputy Alan Cleeves is now attending school and tnat three other deputies will also attend the school givin the Sheriff’* Department five men in all wno will be qualified to give the Breathalyzer tests.

O'Brien said that the conviction of Southern Classified Direc­ tory Co., of Atlanta, Ga., was an " important break in our drive to protect businessmen from solicitations sent through the mails by fraudulent business directory companies." Found guilty on September 22 of defrauding businessmen and others listed in the Yellow Pages of telephone directories were Southern Directory's two promoters, William O. Hudgens, 40, and Mrs. Marion E. Bishop, 55, both of Azusa, Calif. They were convicted on eight counts in a jury trial before U. S. District Judge Newell Edenfield in Atlanta, Ga. Mr. O'Brien said that Southern Classified Direc­ tory's operation is similar to those conducted by a number of other so-called directory companies operating in the United States. Postal Inspectors have 34 such companies under investigation, with the findings in four of these cases already in the hands of u. S. Attorneys. Postal Inspectors found that Southern Directory, whose local "office" consisted only of a post of­ fice box in Atlanta, mailed approximately 1 mil­ lion solicitations in 1964, io first year of opera­ tion, to businesses, large and small, hospitals. Plan for area World Community Day,Nov. 2 Plans are under way for World Community Day in this area on November 2, sponsored by United Church Women, announced Mn. Theodore Stevens, the chairmaa The annual inter-denominational, county-wide event will be held on Thursday, November 2, at Leason-Sharpe Hall of First Presbyterian Church, Hastings. The women will meet at 12:30 pm for a cooperative luncheon. (Bring table service and one dish to pass. ) Nursery care for small children will be available. The speaker will be Mr. Russell Hartzler, direc­ tor of CROP in Michigaa He will show, along with his talk, slides of his recent trip to Africa giving actual examples of Share-a-Loaf funds in use. Bar­ ry County is currently taking part in a plan for wider public participation in the CROP campaign to feed the hungry. Share-a-Loaf cards were mail­ ed to every home in the Lakewood, Ionia, Has­ tings and Delton areas early in the summer and will be collected at Thanksgiving time. Mr. Hartzler's vivid portrayal of the spectre of world hunger and what it means to Christians will thus be most timeiy. Also at this meeting the sewing projects for World Community Day will be brought ia They are: layettes and Asian children's garments or $3.00 gift certificates for your choice of a blanket, school kit or 5 yards of fabric for Viet Nam. Those planning World Community Day emphacize that anyone who wishes to come at 1:30 pm for the program only will be most welcome to do so. churches, doctors, attorneys and other groups listed in the Yellow Pages of telephone director­ ies. While the company actually printed a direc­ tory, only 3,971 copies were distributed over the entire southeast, one copy being sent to each businessman paying $45 for a listing. The Direc­ tory had little of no advertising value, according to the indictment upon which they were tried. "In the past it has been difficult to convict such promoters," said the Chief of the Postal Inspection Service, H. B. Montague, "partly because the misrepresentations are made by inference and in­ nuendo." In Atlanta, however, the jury fouhd the pro­ moters guilty of fraudulently claiming: --That the Southern Directory Co. -.-perated a directory company at Atlanta. --That Southern Directory Co. would get re­ sults for advertisers by distributing its directory to a sufficient numbers of individuals and busi­ nesses. --That Southern Classified Directory offered subscribers greater advantages than if they ad­ vertised in many separate directories. On the basis of the indictment, the promoters were also found guilty of sending solicitations to firms listed in the Yellow Pages, copying accurate­ ly the listing in the classified sections as to make it appear that the mailing was from the telephone company. Post Office Department investigations indicate that the fraudulent directory company generally charge fees ranging from $35 to $85 a luting. They ap­ pear to flourish if they can snare only a few list­ ings per 1,000 solicitations. Mr. Montague said, "the overworked or care­ less businessman is usually tricked into thinking such an invoice must be paid. In a series of 400 interviews with business and professional men, an Inspector found that in every instance payment had been made in the belief that it was for listings previously ordered in Yellow Pages or similar legitimate directories." Three injured in 2-car accident Three Battle Creek persons were taken to Pen­ nock Hospital in Hastings Spnday afternoon fol­ lowing a two-car accident on M-66 at the Pearl street intersection in Nashville. Receiving first aid and then released were Alton Wehrs, 39 and his wife, Janet, 40, and their son Peter, 9. The accident occurred when the Wehrs' car, driven by Mr. Wehrs, failed to negotiate the curve at the south end of Main street ana struck a car driven by John Allen, 55, of Ionia. Neither Allen nor his wife, Dorothy, 55, were injured. Wehrs was ticketed for failure to yield. Barry County and State police officers covered the ac­ cident. - Is junior member Announce new dump hours The city dump of East Casgrove will be open week days from 4:00 in the afternoon until 8:00 in the evening.

His visit to the park brought out many little friends to greet him and to see his hone, Thunder go through her tricks. It will be an afternoon long remembered by the youngsters in the community. --News Photo �BACKSTREET BAROMETER by john boughton Well, Buck Barry came to town last Saturday and everyone seems to have had a good time, including the horse, Thunder. Thunder actually seemed to get a big charge out of walking around and letting the kids pat her nose. Buck said that the crowd here was one of the best he has had all summer. You can bet your nata and spurs that it had to be one of the most vocal crowds he had. Buck immediately enlisted the aid of the kids on his singing and got them to supply the "yippies and yahoos'" that must go along with cowboy-type songs. This softened the group more than some and from there on Buck could make them do most anything. To be quite frank, I have never been a big fan of old Buck’s! This is not because 1 have any­ thing against cowboys in general or Buck in par­ ticular, but only because I never seem to be watching a television set when he is on. Buck's appearance here on Saturday has changed that though. I became a fan during his show in the park and from now on, 1 will make it a point to be home or at least near a television set when Buck Barry time comes a­ round. Buck’s fans are loyal and I intend to stick with them. The big thing that Buck has going for him seems to be the same thing that Peter Pan had going for him. Buck seems to have retained a lot of the kid's outlook on life. He gets through to the kids not by talking down to them but by putting himself among them at least in spirit. He is doing what most of us would like to do - that is, living a fantasy and at the same time is making a living from the fan­ tasy. It would appear that this is a most enjoyable way to make a living. I'm sure Buck thinks it is an enjoyable way to make a living because he seems to enjoy himself while he is entertaining the kids. It is obvious, also, that he thoroughly likes kids. He keys his humor to their level and the few asides directed at the adult audience never took precedence over his remarks directed to his real audience - the kids. Buck stayed in the park until he had given each of the kids an autographed picture and had grasped each little hand in greeting. His loyal fans won't forget that for a long time. I hope the next time he comes to Nashville, he lets me feed Thunder a carrot. i News Pli^|5s Maple Valley News Nashville News & Vermontville Echo NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publication, Inc.

"Most com picking accidents are caused by the operator trying to unclog the picker while it is running, * Jim said. "So the safety rule is obvious: 'Never attempt to unclog a machine while it is in motion. The Maple Valley FFA Chapter has joined the Safe Com Harvest Program aimed at increasing harvest-time safety. It is sponsored by the Farm and Industrial Equipment Institute ana the National Safety Council. "Tnat rule against unclogging a moving picker is true for any kind of work to be done on the ma­ chine -- oiling, greasing, or adjusting, " Jim said. "Always shut off the picker before you leave the tractor seat." If the picker is properly adjusted, there will be less clogging, Jim said. This means less grain will be lost in the field, so the yield will be high­ er. Picking in bad weather causes clogging, so it is better to wait for good weather. Jim also gave the following pointers: The machine should be checked, repaired and adjusted before the harvest begins. All shields should be securely in place. Trying to work too fast cuts the efficiency of the picking equipment and causes clogging. It is more difficult to control the machine if it is forced to work faster than it was designed to do. Keep shucks cleaned away from the exhaust manifold. Carry a fire extinguisher on the picker. A fire started in dry shucks could spread to the field and destroy the whole crop. Change off with another operator once or twice a day if possible. Wear snug-fitting clothes that have no loose sleeves that may become entangled in machinery.

So is the standard Six with its new Monojet carbu­ retor that contributes to greater efficiency, economy and per­ formance. There are many new safety features, including energy-absorbing front seat backs to go along with the proved GM-developed energy-absorbing steering column. And when you equip a Nova with the SS package, you look out over a special hood and black accented grille, housing a 350-cubicinch Turbo-Fire V8. Front to back, Chevy n Nova’s now a driving enthusiast's kind of car but. fortunately for you, it still comes at a saving enthusiast's kind of price. Very low. Dependable Insurance —LIFE— ■ GEORGE H.

NOVEMBER 2, �BACKSTREET BAROMETER Hank Woudstra swears that the following story is true, and I would tend to believe anything he has to say so long as it isn't a story about his golf game. Henry says he knows of some folks who have a big dog who learned that he could get in the bouse by standing on his hind legs and placing a front paw against the door-bell Dutton. For some time the dog let the family know in that manner that he wanted in. Then, one night the bell rang and the man of the house went to let the dog in - but it wasn't the dog who came in - it was the cat! This fel­ low insists that the cat found out about the dog's ability to ring the bell and now when she wants to get in, she gets the dog to ring the bell for her. She is not tall enough to reach the bell herself. As silly as it seems to some, many people believe that animals do make deals between themselves. There might be something to it, too. When I was young (or, at least, younger) we had a family cat wno was not used to being bullied by dogs. The people next door acquired an airedale dog name of Cal who originally thought he could bully the entire neighborhood. He barked at and bit enough of the folks of the neighborhood that the others gave him a wide birth Indeed. Old Cal would walk leisurely across the street, bite some unsuspecting person on the leg and then amble back to his own front porch to await a new victim. Cal had not gotten around to biting a member of my family on the leg yet when he discovered our old, and somewhat irascible cat, sunning herself on the front sidewalk. As I said, the cat was old at the time and a bit deaf, so she didn't hear the panting of the dog and the clatter of his toenails as he bore down upon her. She discovered the doom just as it was about to strike and she didn't have time to work out a battle plan, so she started a tactical retreat. Just about the time the cat was running up the front walk to the relative safety of the front porch, my old great-aunt, who was really deaf, (deaf as a post, everyone said) opened the door to see what kind of a day it was. So far as she was concerned, it was a wild day. When Aunt Mart opened the door, the cat scooted through, no doubt thinking that the kind old lady was offering her refuge. Cal was not one to wait to be invited in. He followed the cat at full tilt, and came very near tilting Great-Aunt Martha. Because the poor old lady could not hear the commotion that accompanied the chase, she was not even locking down and knew only that something, probably a small hurricane had almost swept her off her feet. By the time Aunt Mart had turned around to see what indeed had swept past her, the chase had pro­ ceeded through the living room, into the dining room and into the kitchen, where the cat doubt­ less felt there was sanctuary. by John boughton The sure-footed cat pussy-footed, but fast through the kitchen and to the protective cover of my mother's skirts. Mother was at the kitchen sink doing something with pots and pans. I'm not sure just what she was doing. I always tried to divorce myself from any of tne witchcraft having to do with pots and pans and kitchen sinks. The cat negotiated the kitchen in fine shape but the dog did not get past the first row of floor tiles before he knew he was in deep trouble. The floor was slippery and even immediate setting of his brakes did not appreciably slow Cal s progress across the kitchen. His feet were actually going backwards and he was still doing a near-record speed in the other direction when he came headon into my mother's legs.He bounced off Mother and his forward progress skidded him, now on his side, against the wall. Cal made the mistake of hitting the wall just where the cat was crouching, thus pinning the cat against the wall with him. Mother, thinking some maniac was after her, threw the pots and pans in the air, screamed, and made an attempt to leave the kitchen. The traction was not too good, though, and she went down in a heap and a clatter of pots and pans on top of the poor dog, who by this time had no doubt taken a long second thought about chasing cats. The clatter of pans, the screaming of Mother, the anguished howls of the dog and the general lack of peace and quiet so upset the cat and jangled ner nerves that her jungle instincts cata­ pulted her on to the head of Cal, where she start­ ed to sharpen her claws on his ears in an attempt to have them ready in case of a battle. Cal started for the front door, but the traction was no better for him than it had been on the way in, or than it was for Mother. He spent some time running but going nowhere. During this period, the cat seemed to get into the spirit of the fun and continued to work on poor Cal's ears. By the time Cal finally made it to the front door, with the cat still on his head, Aunt Mart was still standing there, still with the door open, trying to figure out what it was that went past her in such a rush. She hadn't yet decided when it went past again in the other direction! The cat jumped off at the front step* and sat down to leisurely take a bath. She appeared tired of the whole silly game. Cats are like that. They can go along with the ridiculously noisy and roudy sport mat dogs and humans engage in, for only brief periods of time. Cats seem to be a peaceful group by nature and after the immediate joy of winning at a competitive sport, they be­ come jaded with the activity and go back to at­ tending to their personal cleanliness and to medi­ tating. Cats meditate a lot. Cal was found by his master, who drove a Plymouth roadster that had a rumble seat, seven blocks away and still going. He was returned with a great deal of reluctance (on the part of the dog) to the neighborhood. From that day on Cal treated our family dif­ ferently from any other around there. He had the utmost respect for our privacy and the only physical contact he had with a member of the family was to meekly allow one of us to pat him on the head. I am sure he.and the cat worked out an agree­ ment by which he never violated the sanctuary of our yard. "He wouldn't even chase a strange cat over the boundary. By the agreement, our old cat seemed to have tne freedom of Cal's yard (after all. Cal was convinced she had won the war) and the absolute dominion over the sidewalk immediately in front of our house. This was the cat's favorite sunning spot and when the cat occupied the walk, Cal was careful to detour far out into the street so as not to upset the feline or to disturb her routine. Dog* are better than people in at least one res­ pect. When they make an agreement, they stick to it - particularly if there is the prospect of another painful and frightening reprisal in view! Cal never violated the agreement and while the milkman, mailman, paperboy, friends of the family and numerous casual acquaintances and even several absolute strangers suffered at the hands (or to put it more exactly - the teeth) of Cal, uno member of our family group ever got so much as a growl or a show of anything but respect and affection out of him.

Gibson Sunday wiU mark a happy occasion at the Nash­ ville Evangelical United Brethren Church as the congregation has the pleasure of honoring the Rev. Mr. Clyde C. Gibson by granting him tne office of ' Pastor Emeritus." Although Pastor Gibson "retired" ten years ago after fifty yean in the active ministry, he remains active, presently preaching twice a Sunday for another minister who is hospitalized. During the fifty yean of his ministry, he served as pastor, conference superintendent, conference financial secretary, delegate to General Conference, and a variety of other important positions of leader­ ship. Just last year he was honored for the second time as "Man of the Year" by the Thornapple Post of the VFW. The Nashville church is especially indebted to the Reverend Mr. Gibson for his two terms as pas­ tor here. He was fint stationed in NashvUle from 1909 to 1912. On October 3, 1911, he married one of his parishioners, Ruth Feighner. He was reassigned to NashviUe from 1955 to 1957. Under his able leadership, the congregation planned and began the addition to its bunding. In retirement, he nas continued to assist his church in many ca­ pacities. Art Group to moot ot Hoorn or School Those interested in meeting together as an Art Group are asked to meet Monday evening, Novem­ ber 6 at 7:00 pm. The meeting will be held at the Hosmer School building, 2 miles north of Nashville, on M-6& The building is located just north of State' Road, on M-66, and though it is not being used as a school, might be available to the group for use as a meeting place. Some members of this group have been meet­ ing at the home of Mb. Eunice Priddy in Nash­ viUe because other facilities had not yet been found. Should this building prove satisfactory to the group, it would be approximately an equal distance for both the Vermontville and the Nash­ viUe people who might wish to join the group. It is particularly important for as many persons to attend this meeting so some details could be worked out, as to meeting place, meeting night, activities they might wish to do, the availability of a teacher if this is desired, and other details. It is also particularly desirable that both com­ munities be represented for together a large enough group could be formed so some activity could take place.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION NURSES NEEDED "About 100 nurses are needed, right now, at Spar­ row Hospital, " notes Roger Busfield, associate di­ rector of the Michigan Hospital Association. Sparrow is a 465 bed hospital in Lansing. Its cry for registered nurses is echoed throughout the state. Urban and rural, large and small, many hospitals in Michigan are feeling the pinch of the R, N. short­ age. . William Bresler, business manager of the Michi­ gan Nurses Association, says, "It's not so much a shortage of registered nurses as it is a shortage of working registered nurses. * So many nurses have left the profession that there are just not enough to satisfy the demand, he points out Young, graduate nurses are soon lost to marriage and family. Many who return to nursing do not re­ turn to general duty in hospitals. Instead, they en­ ter private, industrial or school practice. The pay is better and the hours more stable. The nurses association and the Michigan Employ­ ment Security Commission have set up five-week refresher courses for ” retired" registered nurse, hop­ ing to attract those who have raised their families back into the general duty field. The course runs eight hours a day, five days a week and combines classroom instruction with hos­ pital duties. There is no tuition and a small stipend is paid to those who qualify. Legally, any register­ ed nurse who stays registered with the . state can practice nursing without taking a refresher course no matter how many year* she has been away from the profession. However, most nurses returning af­ ter long absences want to be brought up to date, Bresler said. Economic security of nurses is also undergoing a change, Bresler says. It wasn't until February of this year that nurses were brought under the Federal WANTED! Minimum Wage & Hour Act. Until that time, some hospitals didn’t pay overtime, he maintains, a 1 though policies varied from hospital to hospitaL Wages are just now beginning to reflect the years of education and training required, Bresler main­ tains. Busfield, reflecting hospital views, feels that nurses' wages are generally in line with other skill­ ed professions. He agrees there are too many ex­ ceptions where pay is still low. He points to a re­ cent survey published by the hospital assocation which lists the "average starting monthly salary" for general duty nurses in Michigan at $410, up from $390 in 1965. Maximum salary for general duty is averaged at $481 monthly. Bedside nursing has become the job of nurses' aide* and practical nurses, while registered nurses are now bookkeepers. Busfield and Bresler stress this is undesirable. Although both men agree that R. N. '* are trying to correct the situation, they do not agree with . what caused the trend Busfield feels that the nurses, by constantly up­ grading their profession, "upgraded" themselves into keeping records and leaving routine nursing tasks to those less qualified. Bresler maintains that "it just kind of happened." Nunes were always held responsibleTor patient rec­ ords. he says. As "red tape" increased in hospitals, nurse* were assigned more of the paper work. "It just grew like Topsy, * he Mid. There are three ways to become an RN in Michi§an. Some community college* offer an associate egree in a two-year program. A three-year program is offered by many hospi­ tal*. Instruction take* place in hospital classrooms and students pay tuition the Mme as college stu­ dents. A four-year college program leads to a Bachelor of Nuning Science. Graduates of ail three programs must pass state exams to become licensed. Higher pay and more respect for professional a­ bilities must be apparent, say* Bresler, before the current shortage of nurses improves.

A ser­ ies of world catastrophies in late 1966 and in 1967 completely used up their blanket supply. Before a backlog of blankets could be built up, new disasters struck--and they keep striking. In such times, blan­ kets are used as a garment, as a temporary tent, as a stretcher, as well as a cover when sleeping. Good clean used blankets and 25$ for processing each one are wanted. A new blanket, wheq pur­ chased in quantity by Church World Service, costs only $3. 00. Funes for new blankets may be brought with your church's used clothing collection to the Church World Service clothing pick-up in Decern bet; or may be mailed to Box 220, Elkhart, Indiana 46514; or to Michigan CROP, Box 206, Lansing, Michigan, 48901. Checks should be marked "for blankets. " Mrs. Carl Wheeler, Church World Service chair­ man for Church Women United in the Hastings area, has announced that clothing and blankets collected in each local church are to be brought to the Wood­ land church of the Brethren parsonage garage, 7310 Coats Grove Road, by December 20. A registration blank for each such delivery to the Church World Service clothing pick-up is to be filled out, ac­ : per pound or companied by a check for 10$ ----------J of used “ new clothing,'* and* 25$• per used blanket, to help ing costs.

Fajtball Banquet planned Dear Parent: This year the Football Banquet will be held in the High School cafeteria bn Tuesday, November 21 at 6:45 p. m.

The banquet will be potluck style with milk and coffee being furnished. Please bring table service, meat dish and two dishes to pass. In order to make this as nearly a planned potluck as possible, please fill but the bottom portion and return it to the high school office no later than November 14.

Baby dogs need a lot of love and attention. He got here early in the morning and immediate­ ly latcned on to Amy. Babies seem to know moth­ ers and know they are protectors. When Amy sat down for a cup of coffee in front of the fireplace the little dog sat on her lap. When she was working in the kitchen he stayed right under her feet. Our cat Charlie, who is twice the size of the dog, was a good host Charlie didn't even get upset when the little fellow barked and when the little dog walked up to him one time. Old Charles just rubbed his head against the dog's head and walked off. The dog sat on my lap all through the football game and then cudrued up to Charlie and took a nap. He seemed real content here, but he was happy to see Becky when she came to take him home. One forgets how it is to have a baby around the house, even a baby dog. I sure hope the weather we have been having the past week or so is not an indication of what we can expect for the rest of the winter. It looks as if we ' will have a white Thanksgiving this year. I sometimes wonder about the morals of those folks who seem to get so steamed up about the mor­ als of others. A politician carries on about getting more morals into government and then he publishes a telegram sent to someone else, but which be re­ ceived by accident. Another politician who talks a lot about morals condoned the act. The Grand Rapids police, worried about the mor­ als of their citizens plant women on the streets pre­ tending they are prostitutues. When the women at­ tract a man the man is thrown in jail. Hardly a mor­ al way to attack a problem of morals. The excuse that the politicians and the police give for using these less than moral means is that all is fair in love and war and that the end justifies the means. This is balderdash. There are rules for both love and war, and there should be rules of conduct for politics and police too. The end seldom justi­ fies the means if the means is not on the up and up. If, in order to get someone to accept our moral code we have to do something contrary to that code, then it seems we have lost the battle before we start. It is a funny world where people seem to think that lying, cheating and stealing are all right if it means you win the game. The big thing is to win. A meeting was held Monday evening at the for­ mer Hosmer schoolhouse on M-66, north of Nash­ ville. The meeting was attended by a group of per­ sons interested in meeting together as an art group and also by a group of citizens representing those who own the building. The purpose of the meeting was to determine if the building could be used by the group for a meet­ ing place, where they could continue In their an interests. The location of the building, the beating and lighting problems involved and the use of it during winter months all were points under discus­ sion by those present. During the meeting, it was mentioned that Super­ intendent Carroll Wolff had indicated that the group would be able to use the facilities available at the Maple Valley High School and meet there. This suggestion was very agreeable to the group and they felt the location between the two communities would make it easier for more people to attend the meeting. For the past several weeks, some members of the group had met on Monday evenings at the home of Mrs. Eunice Priddy. At the present time, the work­ shop-type meeting will be continued and anyone interested in attending should feel welcome. Mrs. Eunice Priddy will be in charge of the meeting for the present time. When enough people indicate an interest, further details could ne worked out for classes if it appears desirable. Wesley Curtis appeared as chairman of the group at the old Hosmer school building. He said the building had been bought and maintained by a small group of citizens in that area and could be used for community meetings. The fact that this group of people bought the building and have kept it up and open for use by members of their neigh­ borhood is certainly to be commended. The group expressed their thanks for the cooperation received by them. The meeting will be held on Monday evening, November 13 from 7 to 9, in the Art Room at the Maple Valley High School building. In the D ug-out.... The an work on display at this time in the Dug­ Out building on Main Street in Nashville belongs to three persons. Mrs. Margaret Swiger and Mrs. Jerry Nagle, both of Nashville, and Mrs. Lois Myers of Vermontville all have paintings on exhibit there. Mu. Mildred Mater, owner of the building, has offered the use of the window area for the purpose of displaying art work and crafts of the area resi­ dents. Members of the newly-formed Maple Valley Arts A Crafts group have taken over the project of keeping things on display in the window.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION RECOVERY, INC. Fifty mental patients were waiting to see Dr. Ab­ raham A. Low, a psychiatrist, as he walked through the doors of the University of Illinois Medical school Realizing that he could not possibly give an hour to each one, Dr. Low conceived the idea of helping them in a group. That was in 1937. Shortly thereafter. Dr. Low realized that patients who have largely recovered from their psychosis can be helpful to others who have been dismissed from mental hospitals but still get upset and frightened. He founded Recovery, In­ corporated. a "club* composed of laymen who have largely or completely recovered from their mental problems and who aid others in need of help Thirty years later Recovery, Inc. has a member­ ship of over 10,000 and has helped many thousands more overcome their mental problems. There are 167 chapters in Michigan alone; 36 states and three Canadian provinces have local chapters. It is a self-help organization of people whose ex­ treme nervousness interferes with their lives. For some it's a means of recuperating from a nervous breakdown. Members meet regularly in small open meetings with the reading of a chapter from Dr. Low's book, "Mental Health Through Will Training',', followed by panel discussions. Members relate per­ sonal experiences, report how Recovery helped them handle their difficulties. First names only are used unless the person wishes to reveal his last name. Anger is always at the root of nervous upsets, ac­ cording to Recovery philosophy. Either the nervous person is angry at someone ne feels is wrong or hr is angry with himself for failing to live up to his own expectations. In Recovery members learn to value their mental health over the symbolic victories they might win if they bristled at every small an­ noyance. Instead, they remind themselves that there is no right or wrong in a triviality. Because they are laymen, members make no at­ tempt to counsel each other on major crises or give advice. They merely give examples of bow they have practiced the Recovery Method in facing and handling specific difficulties. One of the goals of Recovery members is to de­ velop a sense of humor. Part of their problem is taking trifling matters too seriously. They learn to laugh together about things that would have sent ety is a non-sectarian, non profit organization.

The organization is self-supporting through voluntary contributions, memberships and income from the sale of literature and records. MORE DOCTORS A small but important step was taken this fall in solving the nation's doctor shortage. Michigan State University's College of Human Medicine was one of five new medical schools admitting students for ca­ reers in medicine. Some of the existing 94 medical schools are in­ creasing their enrollments. The result is an increase of first-year medical students to an estimated 9,280 compared with 8, 964 last year. The new schools sbouTcTbe fully operative by the mid 1970's and be graduating an additional 1,000 medical students annually. US medical schools will then gradaute about 10,000 students per year. The shortage of physicians in Michigan is felt in many communities. The immediate needs are 300 additional docton per year. Michigan currently has three docton for every 2,000 people, one of the highest doctor-to-population ratios in the nation. It is beginning to show an alarming change. MSU's new facility is now categorized as "two year" school In program is considered a "continu­ ous six-year experience," with "medical school" training starting in the fourth year after three yean of undergraduate work. The school is aiming tor an enrollment of 64 students per class and is complet­ ing plans for an 611. P million Life Sciences Build^ayne State Univenity's medical school is also expanding under the new "medical complex* plan­ ned for the univenity. University of Michigan med­ ical school, already die largest In the nation, has filed detailed expansion plans with the state board of education and the legislature. ™ JJollars Between the halves of the Caledonia-Maple Val­ ley football game Friday evening at the Fuller street athletic field, the president of the Nashville Lions club.

J. Varners were Mr. and Mrs. Wilium G. Smith of Blissfield. They enjoyed dinner together at the County Seat. Vormontv Ills Mr. Russel1 Hartzler, director of Michigan CROP, who spoke at the ‘ -World - - ■ Community -Day observance in Hastings on Thursday, November 2, gave the om­ inous report that world famine is in its beginning stages now, and that this coupled with the popula­ tion explosion is a time bomb more dangerous than the atomic bomb. Two thirds of the people of the world are hungry all the time. The Western world bad kept famine at arm's length so that the colored and poor peoples of the earth--"the backward" nations--are the only ones starving now. The West is only 15% of the world's population but have 85% of the material goods and want more and more. Their eyes must be opened to the desperate situation. The danger will be world anarchy if world hunger is not satisfied. " Everything under the sun seems to be opening up in new directions in our time, and I'm sure that the field of service for mankind is no less limited, "quo­ ted Mr. Hartzler. He showed slides taken during a trip to Africa in 1966. His pictures presented actual people (miss­ ionaries, teachers, doctors, relief workers) who had requested food supplies and were distributing it to the right people. Protein is the most needed, and the most favored sources are navy beans and dried milk. Multi Purpose food (a supplement), seeds, livestock, Gerber's High Protein cereal, cooking oil, rolled wheat, bulgar wheat, and hand soap are . also distributed by CROP. Food doesn't come from nowhere; it has to come from somewhere. His pictures of children and adults ill and dying from malnutrition gave emphasis to his plea that we give generously through the Share-a-loaf cards received ny mail or through churches and other groups. On the success of this campaign depends now many people will be fed and helped. The cam­ paign should come to a close around Thanksgiving time. Turn in filled cards to the church; to Mrs. Delmond Culler, Nashville, treasurer of Church Women United; to Stanley Foltz, Hastings City Bank, treasurer for the Barry County CROP commit­ tee; or mail a check to Michigan CROP, Box 206, Lansing.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1967 10 Cents a Copy NUMBER 25 Resignation accepted from basketball coach Austin Zimmerman, varsity basketball coach who joined the Maple Valley teaching staff in Septem­ ber tendered his resignation to the board of educa­ tion Monday evening. It was accepted 6 to 1 by the board. Zimmerman, who came here from Tekonsha,told Supt. Carroll Wolff last Friday that he did not wish to coach unless he could have the gymnasium alone and schedule evening practices or practice be f o re school in the morning. It has been the custom that both the junior varsity and varsity use the gym a t the Mme time, since two full courts are available. Both Supt. Wolff and the principal, Forrest Rine­ hart, felt the gym adequate for both teams. They also felt that morning practice, which would mean starting about 6:30 a. m. didn't seem logical, fol­ lowed by the boys being in class all day. Further­ more, time had to be scheduled for the girls to use the gym also. Sunday evening about 8:30 p. m. Zimmerman phoned Rinehart to My he would not be coming in Monday to teach his classes. This meant consider­ able juggling of other teachers Monday to handle the approximate 125 students in Zimmerman's classes. This was done, and will be continued on a temporary basis. Also read at Monday night's board meeting was a letter from the executive committee of the Maple Valley Education Association in which it was stated they aid not approve of Zimmerman's action in not > honoring his contract. This was signed by the offi­ cers of the association, headed by Mrs. Hildred Pea­ body as president, and the building representatives from all the elementary as well as the junior-senior high school. Before action was taken by the board, they moved into an executive session at the request of board president, Reinhart Zemke. For the basketball season, which opens Tuesday, November 28, the varsity team will be coached by the athletic director, Wuliam Gibbs. His junior varsity coach will be taken over by Lenz, the 9th grade coach. Planning Committee to meet The Vermontville Planning committee will have a meeting on November 30, at the home of Mrs. Kenyon Peabody, 125 W. Main St., Vermontville. Tne speaker at this meeting will be Mr. FordCaeser, principal of High Street school, Lansing. H e will show colored slides on his trips to Vermont vil­ lages in connection with Vermontville's seeking to return to 'Pioneer Atmosphere'. Jiggs, the George Wilsons dog, seems little impressed with the blooming Christmas Cactus behind him. ___________________________ m. The cactus,. which is in bloom now even though______ we have a few more weeks to Christmas, has been around for some time. Mr. Wilson thinks the cactus is around a hundred years old. The dog, Jiggs, is no youngster himself. He is seventeen yean old and using tl the rule of seven to one - his human equivalent comes to close to 120. Jiggs grumbled just a bit aboi>ut having to get up from a nap to pose for the picture. --News Photo What can YOU do? What are YOU going to do to keep my daughter m school?" asks one mother of the Maple Valley high school. The answer finally reached by the high icnool principal Forrest Rinehart, who had had num­ erous talks with this particular girl was. "I'm goingto call the truant officer", which he did. This situation came following a discussion of dropouts at the Monday night meeting of the board of education held in the office of Supt. Carroll Wolff. The discussion followed the report of parent­ teacher conferences which comes at the end of each six week marking period. The elementary principal, Robert Steward report ed that slightly more than 82 percent of the Fuller sweet and Kellogg street school parents and 73-plus percent of the parents of the Maplewood school had been in for their first conference period this year. But the pity lies lie* in the fact that the parents of the pooler students. and the problem students, are not the ones who can be reached for the conferen­ ces. In fact, midway between each marking period the teachers send out reports on the students whose grades are low with the hope the parents will come m to talk over the situation. Very seldom does this occur. i? lady. The high school drop-our problem continues to mount each year. Two major factors seem to cause this--big wages which attract many students to drop out, and the apparent lack of cooperation at home in urging the students to complete their education. Recently a 17-year old girl toned her books on Rinehart's desk and said she was through witiychooL He talked to her for a long time but failed to con­ vince her she should graduate. But this story had a happier ending than many. A couple of days later she was back to ask how she could return to classes. "Once in a while we save one, * Mid Rinehart, " but not often enough. " While the drop-out record at Maple Valley is low­ er than in many schools, the administration feels that a closer relationship between the school and the parents would do much to improve the drop-out situation. In routine business Monday evening the board passed on bills totaling 119, 465. 21 and approved the transfer of three payroll accounts of more than 129, 000 each. Folding partitions and new lights in the Home Economics room at the high school were approved. A new ? truck has arrived, and the are going to build a box for the pickup. Consumers Power company was granted a right-of way across the front of the Fuller street school for a new gas line. This will replace one already in ex­ istence. the school facilities v s asked to pay overtime rates for custodians, and on cook’s on the 'home side' at the foot - ball games need to be improved, possibly by addi­ tional bleachers. This will be checked into and un­ doubtedly can be rectified by at least doubling the present seating capacity. Because of die lateness of the hour, the annual report for last year will be considered in a special session. A tentative date of Monday evening, No­ vember 27, was set up. An attempt has been made to give some indication of rising costs and salary changes over the past few yean. From this informa­ tion, Supt Wolff has worked on a tentative budget for next year. Much consideration will have to be given the amount of millage to be asked, aad the period of time the millage should cover. At the present time the valuation per student is the lowest this year of any time since consolidation. Each year more requests from student grow to sell various items to make money comes up sider1st ion. In the past, the administration a school board has attempted to discourage ths ing of new items, especially those the local mer­ chants stock. Selling programs which have been es­ tablished are still functioning. The Nonh Central meeting wi Haydon at the University of Mid Thursday of this week. Supt Wol p hart.

The Nashville Chamber of Commerce has made plans for their Christmas celebration and from the looks of the weather they did it just in time. At the last meeting of the Chamber they decid­ ed to invite Santa Claus to come to town a few times before Christmas. So Santa will be here for three Saturdays in a row to visit with his friends and 1 suppose to look the situation over. He has to know where people live, you know. He must have to check out to see if people have moved and all that stuff. Right after the Chamber meeting, ol' John Si- ' mon rushed right out and called the weather bu­ reau and ordered the snow which we are enjoying as this is written. John, who is a friend of Santa's Vermontville explained with a good deal of logic, that is Santa is going to be our guest we should supply him with snow. You can't argue with that, even with slush in your boots. To go right along with this thinking the Christ­ mas decoration committee has new decking for the streets this year. So let is snow. We are all set for Christmas. **** One of the town's leaders was in the other day with the suggestion that perhaps the folks in town could all get together on a community project that would be fun for all and at the same time would bring the people of the village closer together. He suggested a dramatic group, or a club or what you may call it, to put on a play or an operetta. Sounds like fun... What say you?

Andrews attended Mrs. Mae Bos­ worth's birthday party Sunday at the home of Mayor Village to have new Christmas decorations The Nashville village council met in regular ses­ sion Thursday evening. Bills touting $3, 927. 09 were okayed and the various committee chairmen made their reports. • » The remainder of the time was concentrated on a long list which included everything from Christ­ mas decorations to storm sewers. Inasmuch as the fiscal year is two-thirds gone, they carefully check­ ed each section of the budget to learn whether or not they were keeping within the figure set for each specified purpose. Prohibiting any unforseen catas­ trophe the budget appears okay in practically all of the areas at this time. The Christmas decorations, including new ones in the amount of over $500 purchased by the Cham­ ber of Commerce, will go up the week before Thanksgiving. It was suggested that a couple of ad­ ditional street lights be installed in the south part of the village. For those residents who already have a driveway and wish to change its location, the cost will have to be uken care of by the property owner. In cases where there is no driveway, the village will pay half the cost. Other topics discussed were village streets, some of which are in need of new blacktopping; another water tower; storm sewers; whether or not to repair the police car or purchase a new one; the village dump, a report was made on a couple of properties which are to be condemmed (by the county) unless improvements are made concerning sewer condi­ tions. The owners of these properties have been notified. Village president James Rizor reported that Jack Green, a former resident who now lives in Florida, would like to sell his building on Cleveland street to the village for storage of tneir equipment. After discussing the matter the council decided against purchase of the property. Because of Thanksgiving falling on the next reg­ ular council night, the meeting will be postponed until November 30.

Babcock said that people have called tne fire number to ask for police assistance. He pointed out that this means more time in reporting the e­ mergency.

Investigation completed on fish mortality in Thornapple River Several weeks ago the Michigan Water Resources Commission was called in to investigate the fish mortality in Thornapple river and in Tbomapple lake. The area more thoroughly checked included the drains tributary to the north branch of Thorn­ apple north of Potterville, the river near M-50, the river at Vermontville, at Nashville, the river be­ tween Nashville and Tbomapple lake, as well as the lake itself. The investigation was started after it was report­ ed there were dead fish in considerable numbers seen in these areas. At some points there were as many as 50 pike ranging in all sizes from finger­ lings to 24 inches. Other fish spotted were bull­ heads, suckers and perch. The entire shoreline at Tbomapple lake was checked by boat to determine the kill Where the Thomapple river enters the lake WRC staff m e m ben observed approxlmatelv 75 dead fish, the ma­ jority of which were suckers. These fish were lodged in a weed bed and sand bar at the mouth of the river at the east end of the lake. It is believed the suckers were washed into the lake. A few dead fish, or live fish acting listless were noted in a check proceeding upstream from the lake toward Nashville. What few industries are located in the upper reaches of the Thomapple river were checked. No discharges of toxic material could be found. In checking i fish kill of 11 pike in a stream tributary near Potterville, it was learned that the kill occurred immediately after a bean field had been aerial sprayed for Mexican beetle. In a summary, prepared by Chester Harvey, Dis­ trict Engineer of tne Grand Rapids branch of the De­ partment of Conservation, he stated that while the early information was scattered and sketchy and difficult to evaluate, the most logical cause of death was by agricultural chemicals which were powibly applied by airplane. Eventbough there may have been some herbicide control in the upper reaches, there was an equal amount in the H as tings area with no attendant fish distressv. Fish collected by the fish biologists were fo r warded to the game pathologist but no report has been received on their findings. In concluding his report Harvey exited that the fish mortality and long periods of distress and the behavior of the fish observed alive would indicate an extreme low level of toxicity but one in which the presence was felt over at least a two week per­ iod. Even though many of the backwater areas bad profuse algae and weed growths, distress and mor­ tality were noted in the flowing stream portion of the Tbomapple. Dissolved oxygen content was fair to good in areas where lethargic fish behavior was noted. This office does not have any previous rec­ ord of this type of problem or behavior in the sec­ tion of the stream involved. Mr. Harvey continued by saying, "Outside p( chemical spray, other land use and water use ap­ peared normal. While it may not be conclusively proven, it appears that spraying for insect control was the largest contributing factor in this investi­ gation. It u recommended that extra surveillance be put on this area during the coming year.

Postmaster Wilma F. DeCamp asked that all area residents keep their rural mail boxes clear of ice and snow so that die rural carriers will not be de­ layed in delivering the large volume of maiL The ovation given the 1966 special Christmas stamp was so overwhelming that the Postoffice De­ partment has issued essentially the same stamp this year as an encore. Postmaster DeCamp report­ ed. The 1967 venion will be bigger than last years and will include more of the "’Madonna and Child with Angels", painted in the 15th century by the Flemish artist Hans Memling. The masterpiece hangs in die National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. The stamps are now on sale at postoffices. Postmaster DeCamp noted that the use of the special five cent stamp or any other five cent stamp on Christmas cards affords first class treat­ ment. That means the cards will be forwarded if the recipient has moved, or returned if there is no forwarding address so that mailing lists can be brought up to date. Third Class postage on cards does not provide that service. The Postmaster urged all area residents to shop and mail early and use ZIP Code in all addresses so that the avalanche of Christmas mail will be moved with the greatest efficiency.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION COURTSHIP PROBLEMS Michigan judges could be selected with a mini­ mum of political involvement under a "Michigan Plan" amendment to the 1963 State Constitution proposed by a citizens’ group. Patterned after the * Missouri Plan, " now used in 12 states, the proposal calls for judicial candidates to be nominated by a bi-partisan panel of lawyers and laymen . Such plans call for seven panel members: three attorneys appointed by the state bar association; three citizens appointed by the governor; and a judge who serves as chairman. When a vacancy oc­ curs on the bench, this panel screens possible re­ placements then puts forward a slate of three or more whom it considers the best qualified candi­ dates. The governor fills the position from the re­ commended slate. The appointed judge serves for three years. He is then required to stand for election on hu record on­ ly and without opposition. For example, voters in Missouri are confronted with this simple judicial ballot: "Shall Judge X of the Blank Court of Miss­ ouri be retained in office? YES, NO (scratch one)" Before each election, lawyers conduct a poll within their profession on the candidates' qualifi­ cation for retention. Results receive wide publicity in local news media. Newspapers also publish biog­ raphies, record of reversals, and conduct in office. Voters then decide whether to retain the judge on the basis of qualification and performance rather than popularity, political activity or a famous-last name. If retained by voters, the judge serves until he dies, retires or resigns. If voters do not approve his tenure, another slate of candidates is offered by the panel and another three-year appointment is made by the governor. Coupled with the proposal for bench selections is machinery for removing or disciplining judges for misconduct or malfeasance, in office. A commis­ sion is established to investigate complaints about the courts at all levels. Upon recommendation by the commission, the Supreme Court may hold a public hearing and remove a judge. Any attorney, public official, litigant or private citizen can report a judge for a disability or dere­ liction. If the commission staff finds that the com­ plaint has merit, it immediately investigates. Such a program has been working well in Cali­ fornia since I960. Called the Commission on Ju­ dicial Qualifications, the group there is composed of five judges, two laymen and two lawyers. In IV/nfer’s Coming — Gwl Heady! seven years of existence, the commission has in­ vestigated more than 400 complaints, induced 30 judges to resign or quietly retire and recommend one removal Resignations and retirements have strengthened the courts, but the power of investigation is also a prod and stimulus to judges to conduct themselves as the office demands. Michigan needs such a program as now exists in 1 Missouri and California, the citizens'group feels. Sponsored by the Michigan Citizens' Committee for Judicial Selection and Tenure, the League of Women Voters of Michigan, and the American Judicature Society, the group will attempt to ob­ tain 350, 000 signatures on petitions by next June to get the proposal before voters in the November, 1968, election. . At a.recent conference in Grand Rapids the citi­ zen's committee pointed out that all state judges except the Wayne County District Court Judge are elected by popular vote. Edward L. Cushman, conference chairman, said, "If we are going io attract the high quality of judges I know our state can produce, we have to assure our judicial candidates that they won't be knocked around like a political football every six or eight years." An editorial in the Kansas City Star sums up the Eroved benefits of such a plan: "A judge doesn't ave to borrow and spend money to conduct a cam paign. He is not forced to make political promises to men who control votes. He does not have to, ans­ wer to a political boss, nor does he need to accept campaign contributions from lawyers who will practice in his court. It is by far the best plan yet devised to keep the bench out of partisan cam­ paigns. " The citizens' committee said it will enlist" "maximum participation" by individual citizens and organizations throughout the state to support the enactment of the proposed constitutional a­ mendment.

In this issue: WINE COOKERY OLD WIVES TALES GAME WARDENS �IM] ERY long time ago, some unknown benefactor of the human race per­ formed a daring experiment in cooking which has made mealtime a happier occasion for many of us. He discovered cooking with wine. A by Pamela Howard The character of wine changes as it is subjected to heat. First, the alcohol, which has a low boiling point, passes off as a vapor. Then, the other elements of the wine undergo varying changes depending on whether the wine is merely heated, brought to a boil, or sizzled at a high temperature. There has been renewed interest in this matter of cooking with wine during the last few years. The enjoyment of good eating is a favorite mid-American sport and wine offers one of the simplest and most effec­ tive means of making good food taste differently better. Wine used in cooking is a flavoring. It also is a blender of flavors. It accents the savoriness of the food and lends both aroma and smooth­ ness. .

Maybe you are on the wrong diet! illbilly Granny Clampett isn’t such a far-fetched character. In fact, she is pretty realistic to those of us whose own grandmother or Aunt Maggie had a passion for healing and cur­ ing and nursing folks back to health. “It might be catchin’,” she would warn, and whether it was a cold or a pox, around your neck she would hang a muslin bag of asafetida that was supposed to make you breathe easier, cure your^ailment and keep others from its contagion. That it did Because the pungent aromatic odor kept everyone away, as did the onion poultice or goose grease for your chest cold. All of her cold remedies weren’t offensive, but hot and spicy and sweet. She was heavy handed with honey and sugar whether it was mixed with turpentine, kerosene or camphor. The house and everything in it would often become permeated with the steeping brew of catnip or peppermint tea. Elderberries and their blossoms joined in a remedy for “stummick ailment” and if that didn’t help, she made camomile tea brewed from a plant of the aster family. If this cure for some reason brought on “the trots,” she was not dismayed for she knew how to remedy that with blackberries, cooked down to a sticky concentrate and fermented, bottled and labeled “balsam.” Purple and potent. H Strategy and psychology were tools that put her a shout ahead of the latest whisper of modern medicine, which public­ ly disproves her cures and superstitions as fallacies. Like a gen­ eral in battle, if her tactics didn’t win the war on your sickness, ahe would give you a good strong physic to rid you of all the poison in your system. You might get a trifle weak and turn greeij, which in turn called for a tonic of sulphur and molasses in the spring and joy! — hard cider in the fall. It would have been more palatable cold than hot (mulled, she called it, re­ member?) and minus the red pepper. A little shaken from your ailment? Eat celery for your nerves; fish, especially sardines, for sharpening your mind; beets to redden your blood and cooked gruel to warm the cor­ puscles. Psychology ‘way back when? Did your father or Uncle George ever tell you about the blistered neck from having the nto the pores of your neck home doctor lovingly rub kerosene into and gently swathe them with red or <outing ‘ „ flannel ? As a counter-irritant, a coton swab on a stick dipped into kerosene swished down to your tonsils. No wonder folks got weD quick with .such killer cures. We now have ways and medicine to affect quick cures, prevent communicable diseases and make the patient comfortable — you must agree that they’re easier to live with than asafetida and other folk cures. We can be nostalgic, but what deodorants, anti-perspirants and mouth washes could erase the fact that you are sick? It’s a funny thing, our laughing at their methods because Four grandmother scoffed at the silly tarnations of their older generation. Imagine, they’d reminisce, “My grandpa wore cop­ per wire around his wrists and ankles and gold beads to ward eff rheumatiz’. Alfalfa tea, my ma’d fix for him.” Recipes for home remedies were handed down as were “re­ ceipts” for family delicacies. You will want to preserve some customs as an heritage, but you do not cook and bake as they did back in the good old days of poke berries and goose grease is remedies. The American Dietetic Association* has issued a list of the fallacies and misconceptions, some taken from socalled “doctor books” of another era. Judge for yourself: Dried currants are poisonous berries; ripe cherries destroy old age matter in the body; asparagus is good for the kidneys; sassa’ras and vinegar thin the blood; ice water causes heart trouble; watermelon, cucumbers and soft drinks cause polio.

This “matching” would show a court that the rifle harjc. been in the suspects’ car. And that is just what happened when the case was heard. Micro­ scopic markings in the shells and the gun were shown to match so A FAR CRY FROM "POPPLE COPS lights sweep the shoulder of the road, and then, they heard the echoing blast of a gun. “Let’s go!” one of them said; and together they ran to their car; and, with headlights off, they drove toward the automobile down the road. They were a quarter of a mile from the car, when it turned around suddenly and began to move away. "He must have spotted us,” the driver said, and with this he flickdd on his lights and tromped the accelerator down. The distance between the vehicles closed rapidly, and when it was only a few hundred feet, the driver of the rear automobile switched on a red light that blinked a flashing signal into the night "Instead of stopping, however, the car ahead darted suddenly away. “Hang on, he's going to run,” the driver of the red-blinking ve­ hicle said. He turned on a siren that wailed across the still night, and he reached for a radio hand mike that hung from the dashboard. The speed of the vehicles climbed to 80 miles an hour, then to 90, then to 100, and slowly the lead-car pulled away. The autemobiles hurtled through the darkness; and in the distance the lights of a town began to show. The radio messages that had flashed on ahead had done their job. and the chase ended on the edge of town where police cars had hazily set up a road block. The participants in the abruptly ended chase were two deer shiners and two conservation wardens. The wardens moved now to the car they had pursued and placed the occupants under arrest. They advised the arrested men of their rights under the law, and then took them to the county jail. The men denied shining deer, pointing out that they had no guns in their car. They were correct in that their vehicle contained no guns when it was stopped, but there were empty rifle cases and un­ fired rifle cartridges on the floor of it; and the two conservation wardens went to work to build their case. Back out the highway they drove, this time very slowly. Several miles out of town they found the shattered remains of a rifle beside the road. They picked up the pieces carefully, using handkerchiefs so that fingerprints would not be disturbed. Then they drove out to where the chase started. On the shoulder of the road, a large deer lay dead. It was a doe, and the wardens hoisted it into the trunk of their car and drove back to town. It was just beginning to get daylight, a faint hint of light put the spruce tops in silhouette. The wardens were tired. They had been up all night, and there would be only a few hours of sleep now before they would have to be down to the district attorney’s office to begin the long process of prosecution against the suspected deer shiners. And in this day of zealous protection of individual rights, the prosecution must be done right or the warden is left without a case. carefully packaged and marked all other items of evidence, includ- of bullet that they had cut out of the de precisely that there could be no doubt about them having been in contact ' * “Guilty,” the court said, and the deer shiners each paid heavy fines to avoid jail sentences. They also lost their fishing and hunting privileges for a year. As the wardens walked from the courtroom, one turned to the other and said, “I’ve got to give a gun safety demonstration for the junior rifle club tonight, but I’ll meet you after it’s over and we’ll work the northwest corner for a few hours.” “Fine,” his companioh replied, “I’ll have time before we go to check a couple of traplines.’’ The wardens went their separate ways, tending to the endless tasks that the modem conservation officer is faced with. A far-cry from the first “popple cops” who were solitary upholders of sketchy and often resented fish and game laws, the modem warden is a man of many talents. His conservation role has mushroomed until almost every element of the community looks to him for service and help at one time-or another, Though he is basically a lawman, he devotes an ever increasing amount of his time to public relations. The intent of this is to edu­ cate the public, particularly the young public, as to the importance of sound conservation -programs. These programs include growingr, complexity in fish and game laws, and it is the ambition of every warden to do all he can to prevent a law violation. “We would rather not have to make any arrests,” a top midwest warden said, “and we feel that our efforts to this end are really paying off. Every year we get more and more cooperation from the public. "People realize that with more and more demands being made on fish and game, laws must be designed to protect wildlife accord­ ing to species and habitat variations. "And they also realize that the violator of these laws is taking something away from them when he shoots illegal game or catches, fish in an unlawful manner. “It is the duty of every citizen to understand and obey conser­ vation laws, and most of them do so and resent the fellow who doesn’t” * . But despite the best efforts of conservation officials, there shall always remain the intentional violator. He is frequently a rough and ruthless individual, and the warden force records show countless instances of warden injury and even death when he is brought to bay by the badge. The wardens consider-such risks to be part of the job. Long, cold hours of watching and waiting are also part of the job. ° It was to do some of this uncomfortable watching and waiting that the two wardens stood again in the frigid, black night A car They watched it from behind a screen of road. Quietly the wardens eased up behind it where It had stopped and parked. There was a muffled conversation with the car’s occu­ pants, and then the wardens retreated to their car and drove away. "Well,” one of them said, “you cant tell the lovers from the deer shiners unless you talk to them." "That's right/' said the other, "How are we to know?” , �This is how a revolution begins. Quietly.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1967 ...let us be ever thankful In looking back to Thanksgiving celebrations of years gone by, it is only fitting that we should remember to be grateful for the countless blessings that have been bestowed upon this nation since its early Pilgrim Days. At this time, we join with the rest of our countrymen in humble thanksgiving for our American way of life, and we sincerely best wishes . extend to you and yours, our very NUMBER 26 �Committee continues study of pioneer village-look The Vermontville Planning committee continues in its search to find various ways and means to re­ turn the "pioneer atmosphere" of Old New England in the 1800's to this village. All of the New England villages had a "central green” around which the entire town seemed to re­ volve. This is true of Vermontville. The "square" was laid out by the early settlers from Vermont in 1836. They first built a Chapel on the northwest comer in 1843. On the Southwest comer the Con­ gregational church in 1862. By 1877 the Metho­ dist church was moved to the northeast corner, and the park forms the southeast comer. Both of the churches are the typical Vermont style with a square tower rising from the front of the church which housed the bell. November 18 is the target date for upwards of 500,000 sportsmen who are expected to be in Michigan’s hunting ranks for the state’s 1967 firearm deer season. As the countdown to the season starter begins, most of these hunters will invade the North County, stream­ ing upstate in zippy autos, old school buses, camper trucks — virtually everything on wheels. Roughing it in tents and trailers or setting up hunting headquarters in motels and out-of-the-way cabins, their good-time outings will be filled with coffee break bull sessions, lively card games, and — of course — hopes of downing trophy deer that can be proudly hoisted on the local meat pole. —Mich. Dept, of-Conservation BACKSTREET BAROMETER Two Indians meet in the woods, somewhere near Plymouth colony. "Hi there Mooseface, where to?” "Out of my way, you silly savage. I'm in a rush. I'm going to the party. " "Hey, now about that? Someone throwing ty. Going to do the latest war dance and all that stuff?" "No, stupid, this is the party the colonists are throwing for Thanksgiving. Didn't you get an in­ vitation?" "I’ll be darned if I know. My squaw won't let me open the mail since I got that perfumed letter from that cute little broad I met at the medi­ cine-man convention over in Chicago. Boy, was that a convention. We stomped Calumet City right into the ground. And now the Colonists are going to throw a party eh? This used to be a nice quiet neighborhood before those foreignen moved in. We should have stricter laws to keep that type out of the better neighborhoods. Now they are going to throw a party and keep everyone on the block up with all the noise and carrying on. When they first moved in they put on that act of being so quiet and churchy. Those are the worst kind. Who is going to be there?" "How do I know who is going to be there? The usual crowd I guess. * "Well, I don't know, I might come if I can ditch the squaw for a while. I'd hate to take her though. She is a real drag at a party, always keeping count of the number of glasses of cider I drink, and she watches me like a hawk when the Chief's cute lit­ tle secretary is anywhere around. For a foreign type she is not too bad. I can't stand that Alden guy though. Never could understand him the way be mumbles. * by john boughton "And that Standish character. Did you ever see the likes of him. He is a Hippie if I ever saw one, that long greasy hair and the moth eaten boots are a dead giveaway. I'll bet he smokes pot - or may­ be worse. " "You can bet your bottom wampum that those Colonists want something. They aren’t throwing this party just to be nice guys. You just watch, they will try to deal us out of some more of our land. They give us that poor mouth so they can knock the price down." . "I have a fine idea. Why don't we sell them that raunchy little island, you know, Manhattait That is a rotten place... You take your life in your hands every time you go out after dark. I swear those kooks who live there would mug a rattlesnake. " "I figure that if we could get a half a keg of rum and ten or twelve bucks for the place we would be taking advantage of the Colonists. Not that I mind taking advantage of them, mind you. " Til bet they have squash and nuts and a lot of fattening food. Those foreignen eat like it was go­ ing out of style." v'Say, who is your date for this affair? I sure hope you don't uke some old turkey and disgrace the whole Indian population. " "Maybe this will become an annual affair. 1 don’t mind sitting down and eating with them once a year. I don't want to associate with them every day though. They are all right in their place, but would you want your sister to marry one?" Adolph Douse just came back from the north with nice big buck on the back of his car. All day ng Monday I have seen can with deer on them. Among the early homes built in Vermontville are the OtisE. Mills residence, 176 East Main, built by Wait J. Squier in 1837; the Ava Kroger residence, 130 W. Main, built by Walter S. Fairfield in 1837 and the James Samann home, 145 W. Main, built by Simeon S. Church in 1838. Other early homes include the Philip H. Munn residence, 237 S. Main, built by Well R. Martin in 1847; the Homer M. Winegar residence, 350 N. Main, built by Roger W. Griswold in 1849; the Gerald Reed residence. 353 E. Main, built by ’ ’Hiram J. Mears in 1849; the Jennie and Carolyn Boyd residence, 313 E. Main, built by Mr. Clark in 1850; the Kenyon Peabody res­ idence, 125 W. Main, built by William U. Bene­ dict, 1850, and the Clifford Prescott residence, 316 E. Main, built by Semeon McCotter, 1851. It was typical for the early Vermont homes to be stenciled. Many with the same stencils found i n New Hampshire and southern New England. Also used were two different designs in an all-over pat­ tern of leaves and a flowering vine. Some showed the spread eagle with stars--one for each state. At the right and left of the eagle was a willow tree and above were single units of oak leaves in red and a single flower of new design, characteris­ tic of Vermont in red and green. The green upright pictured the familiar overturned buds, while the frieze repeated the favorite bells and loops stencil­ led on a gray background. The rest of the wall was unpaintea piaster. A soft green rose leaf border was above the baseboard. Venetian red in powdered form mixed with skimmed milk was a paint com­ monly applied both to bams and interior walls. Vermontville, with its village square and homes clustered around it, is attempting to eventually take on the "old" look in modem times while mak­ ing this community one of the most interesting in the area. Miss Esther Shepard is one who has spent consid­ erable time in checking out some of the "old" 1­ deas and studying the history of the village. She is being assisted by Mrs. Mary Hulbert. "We have some good pictures of Main street at the turn of the century, " says Miss Shepard, "loan­ ed to us by R. E. Viele, Mrs- John Rodriguez and her sister, and others. We've had a number of books on Vermont to make use of, thanks to Mn. Mildred Allen. Mb. Ira Spicer has written to a number of places in Vermont for information. She has had some answers, and is awaiting the rest. Thom Keith (the new president of the Vermontville Ma­ ple Syrup Festival Corporation) is working on a photography area at his restaurant. ” If others nave pictures or can give information on the stores of many years ago, the dates, or own­ ers, the Planning Committee will appreciate your contacting them. The Planning Committee will hold its next meet­ ing November 30 at the home of Mr. and Mn. Ken­ yon Peabody. Ford Caeser of Lansing will show colored slides of his trips to Vermont villages.

' „ The employees of the Nashville Pon Office to­ day joined in an urgent appeal to the local mail­ ing community to plan their holiday shopping and mailing early this year. The Postoffice expects a record-breaking nine billion pieces of mail to be delivered across the country this Christmas and cooperation by the mail­ ing public in shopping and mailing early and the use of ZIP Codes will mean there is virtual assur­ ance that all holiday mail will be delivered on time. Postmaster Wilma F. DeCamp asked that all area residents keep their rural mail Boxes clear of ice and snow so that the rural carriers will not be de­ layed in delivering the large volume of mail. The ovation given the 1966 special Christmas stamp was so overwhelming that the Postoffice De­ partment has issued essentially the same stamp this year as an encore. Postmaster DeCamp report­ ed. The 1967 version will be bigger than last years and will include more of the ’’Madonna and Child with Angels", painted in the 15th century by the Flemish artist Hans Memling. The masterpiece bangs in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.G The stamps are now on sale at postoffices. Postmaster DeCamp noted that the use of the special five cent sump or any other five cent stamp on Christmas cards affords first clast treat­ ment. That means the cards will be forwarded if the recipient has moved, or returned if there is no forwarding address so that mailing lists can be brought up to date. Third Class postage on cards does not provide that service. The Postmaster urged all area residents to shop and mail early and use ZIP Code in all addresses so that the avalanche of Christmas mail will be moved with the greatest efficiency.

The "strike" dissipated in the face of an apparent not-so-empty threat from a leg­ islative committee to close down the university al­ together. Teachers' strikes at the local level made a seri ­ ous problem earlier this fait Those are settled now. But another fall is coming. The elimination of local school boards is the aim of one militant teacher union. According to Thom­ as Hill, Michigan Federation of Teachers, the lo­ cal boards serve no function and should be destroy­ ed. Since there is bound to be those who disagree violently with this concept, it is possible a battle can take place that will shake many communities to the roots. Parents and taxpayers might take new interest in the idea that the school system really belongs to them because it is their children who are being ed­ ucated and it is they who pay the bills. If th e y insist on expressing this concern and control through a local school board of elected representatives, they might resist to great degree the thought that any Bof employees should take over the responsi, of running the local school. Teacher organizations hold that they have the student’s interest at heart just as much as parents do; and that they are in the best position to know what will help students most. This may be true,but there are those who are concerned the teacherswill help themselves too much in the process. The record of some school boards supports the po­ sition the militant teachers take. Many have been slow to act; slow to modernize the system; certain­ ly slow to pay teachers salaries a community can be proud of. Some have been slow to demand teaching of a quality they can be proud of too. A more moderate position is taken by Michigan Education Association, an older, larger organiza­ tion than the Federation. MEA wants professional educators to have a good deal more control of the system, but not at the expense of eliminating the boards. The official MEA position is that their members will obey laws in their battles with school boards and others. The official position of MFT is that they will disregard laws which interfere with their goals. Success of teachers at the local level in recent strikes has not been lost on some college professors. It can be expected that some of these might decide the strike is the best way to win the points they think are justified. The issue may be resolved in the near future, but it will be live, hazardous and importent. If pres surer connected with the school issue can develop a more basic interest among the parents and tax­ payers, if the teachers are not too unreasonable or too adamant in their demands, it is possible a bet­ ter education will result for young people of the state. Michigan-produced wineiras rated best. There is much room for progress. Per capita con­ sumption of wine in Michigan has been increasing, but sales of Michigan-produced wine has not increased accordingly. So grape growers in southwest Michigan, where soil and climate conditions are right for the hybrid plants which produce the finest wines, are joining in this new campaign to increase acceptance of their product. Municipal emptoyees hold quarterly meeting The Barry, Eaton, and Ionia County Public and Hospital Employees of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Union, Lo­ cal #1910, held its quarterly meeting at Portland on Saturday. These meetings are held in the various counties of this local. It was conducted by president Wayne Crofoot of the Hastings Public School Chap­ ter. Members from the Village Workers of Portland. The Hastings City Workers, The Hastings Public School, and the recently formed Ionia Police Dept, chapters attended.

Jacqueline Peck,, an outstanding teacher from Maple Valley schools, was selected to attend Michigan's FirstTnstitute on Girls' sports in the area of Track and Field. The Institute was held at Eastern Michigan University on November 17,18, and 19, 1967. ' The United States Olympic Development Com­ mittee has sponsored four National Institutes on Girls' Sports. The primary objectives of these In­ stitutes have been to increase the depth of experi­ ence and expand the opportunities for sports partic­ ipation by girls and women. The Michigan Divis­ ion of Girls' and Women's Sports and Eastern Mich­ igan co-sponsored the three day event. This Insti­ tute offered instructors in Michigan an opportunity to increase their knowledge and understanding of training, conditioning, and skill progressions. Teachers who have attended the National Institutes on Girls' Sports were the instructors. Some of the consultants were such nationally known figures as Jane Ward of California, a member of the Pan A­ merican Volleyball Team, Patsy Neal oPNofth Carolina, a member of the A. A. U. Basketball Team, and Newt Loken from the University of Michigan. The Institute presented the most recent informa­ tion available in the areas of basketball, diving, fencing, gymnastics, tract and field and volley­ balL The participants were expected to share their Institute experiences with other teachers of their immediate area through the organization of workshops and/or professional meetings. _ Local Mr. and Mrs. Howard Weiler will entertain for Thanksgiving Mr. and Mrs. Gene Service, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Weiler, Mr. Russell Weiler, Mrs. Irene Waggoner, Miss Kathy Weiler and Mt.

Even though Michigan is third in the production of wine, it is a long ways behind California and New York. Grape growers are fighting to gain the muket for their product they think it deserves In March, 1966, after prodding from a young MSU Ph. D., Sigmund H. Schanderl, the Michigan Wine Institute was revitalized. Dr. Schanderl had come from California where he was active in wine production and war anxious to build both the qual­ ity of Michigan's wine and a muket. Frank Koval was named to head the Institute which set up head­ quarters in Lansing. Snob appeal of imported wines is now the biggest problem the Michigan product faces. Michiganproduced wine can oe sold for less because of a tax differential of 44 per gallon compared to 504 for imported wine; and because transportation costs are lower. Koval has held wine tastings where people rated unlabeled wines. In some instances, he reports, the ■—g—1 Coming — Ready/ .

They carried out a similar project last year and felt it was so worthwhile, they decided to do it again this year. in a newspaper article printed last week ill the Battle Creek Enquirer and News, concern was ex­ pressed by those persons at the Home responsible for this Christmas project It appears that the work is normally begun inSep­ tember, but loss of personnel and illness of the di­ rector, Richard Kenney, has slowed things up con­ siderably. The list of materials needed by the patients at the Home certainly offers a wide variety of items needed. Because of the wide difference of ages of the patients, items needed range from toys to to­ bacco and shampoos, combs and brushes, aprons, etc. Although the Literary Club has taken over the project to assemble and deliver these items, any­ one in the area who wishes to do so may contribute items to be taken to the Home. Things should be brought to the News Office before December 2 so they may be delivered and made ready for Christ­ mas giving. Anyone wishing to inquire at the State Home may write Richard G. Kenney, Director of Community Relations, Post office Box 248, Augusta, Michigan, 49012.

That is OK with me. I would just as soon see the girls as the autos, and a combination of both is wonderful. Here are a few of the things we saw at the show. --News Photos by john boughton Editor'! Note: The following letter u one whichwas received by Mt! and Mrs. Art Shetenhelm of V e r montville from their son, SP/4 Timothy who is with the Army in Thailand. Mb. Sheterinelm requested that this portion be printed in the newspaper to give the readers a sol­ dier's viewpoint of the current state of affairs in our country and overseas. Tim is a 1965 graduate of the Maple Valley high school and will behome some time inlanuSfy. About those marches--it sure makes a guy over here feel good to hear about all those demonstra­ tions. I've thought several times about why am I here; when so many people back home won t sup­ port us. I firmly believe everything being done here, Viet Nam, Korea and everywhere else is for the good of liberty. They don't realize that if some one doesn't fight for freedom, they wouldn't have the right to demonstrate. I wish somebody could give them a gun and send them to Viet Nam; they would soon realize what's going on. Even here in Thailand, 1 get a good pic­ ture of things as they are. I consider myself very lucky to be an American. If only there were some way to show those kids how wrong they are. Well, anyway, you can see how it looks from here. We are here defending our country and free­ dom and there are people who say we shouldn't be here. I guess I'd better sign off before I run away with myself. My spirits are really quite high, because, after all, in a few weeks I will be coming home. Love and Stuff?

HELEN’S BEAUTY SHOP 653-3901 Know the proper number Recently the people who answer the Nashville fire phone have been bothered with calls other than those for fire emergencies. Fire Chief Forrest Babcock has pointed out that the fire phone should be used only for reporting fires. Calls for emergen­ cies other than fire should be directed to the prop­ er agencies. Babcock said that people have called the fire number to ask for police assistance. He pointed out that this means more time in reporting the e­ mergency. Since the fire department is not in con­ tact with the sheriff department or the local police the caller mutt hang up and put in a new call to the proper agency. Babcock explained that while this is going on the fire phone is being held up so that a tire emergency could not be reported. Calls to report a fire should be made to OL32341. Calls for the Nashville police department should be made through the Barry County Sheriff’s Depart­ ment, which maintains radio contact with the Nash­ ville police.

These will be sent to the World Clothing Fund, a national organization providing free clothing to the schools of 50 of the most distressed Appalachian counties and to adults of the area involved which includes Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, Geor­ gia, Alabama and Tennessee. The classrooms have been provided with shipping bags and all students have been urged to bring clean, wearable infants, children's and adult's clothing and shoes of all types during this "World Clothing Week. " The goal is one "Bundle of Hopd' from each student. The articles will be distributed to children and adults of any race or creed. While the World Clothing Fund attempts to as­ sist depressed areas all over the United States, spec­ ial relief efforts are presently focused on the Appa­ lachian area. This is the first time the Student Council has been involved in this type of clothing drive, and they are enthusiastic in making it a success.

Santa will arrive in Nashville on Friday evening at about 6:30 and will help the members of the Chamber with the light dedication in Central Park. Committee plans for Christmas basket giving The Nashville Christmas basket committee met Thursday, November 30, at the home of Mrs. Morris Brown to begin plans for this year's distribution. Mrs. Brown, who is committee treasurer, acted as co-ordinator in the absence of the chairman, Mrs. J. E. Smith. Also present to represent the various churches were Mrs. William Hayter, Mrs. Ben Mason, Mrs. Archie McConnell, Mb. Ronald Kenyon, Mb. Mary Struttman, and Mrs. B. J. Varner. Tne Boy Scouts and Cubs have offered their a i sistance this year and will be incorporated into the planning. Any names of needy families or aged per­ sons may be submitted to any on the committee. Contributions, including good, usable toys, can be made at Douse Drug Store. The date of the next meeting will be announced later. After the dedication of the lights and decora­ tions, Santa will move to the Nicholas Appliance store where he will sit on a special chair which has been provided for him. He will be in the Nicholas store after 7:00 and will be happy to visit with his little friends there. For those families who wish it, pictures will be taken of the children with Santa. John Simon, who is heading up the Christmas committee, said that Santa will have a gift for each of his little friends who visits him. "In addition to this," Simon said, "the bank night drawing will be doubled. We will be giving three $30 cash prizes on Friday night. " Santa plans on arriving from the north. (What other direction?). Not only is Nashville's Main street decorated and ready for Christmas, but the individual stores are all decorated and filled with new Christmas mer­ chandise to make your shopping trip to Nashville profitable and pleasant. Simon pointed out that parking is no problem in Nashville and the selection in the stores is better than ever. " These should be good incentives to shop in Nashville, " Simon said. Santa will return to Nashville on Saturday, De­ cember 16, and again on Saturday, December 23, according to Mr. Simon. Arts and crafts displayed in News Office shop Hobbyists in the Nashville and Vermontville area will have a place to display and sell their arts and crafts work during the Christmas shopping season.

NUMBER 28 Donald Langham named Nashville Police Chief At Thursday night's council meeting a Chief of Police for the village of Nashville was hired, the resignation of the assessor was read, and the presi­ dent of the Maple Grove-Castleton township fire board discussed the need of a new fire barn. Donald Langham, who has been serving as a po­ lice officer in a temporary position was hired a s Chief of Police on a full time basis. Langham has also been serving as Zoning Administrator since the village adopted the new Zoning and Building code nearly a year ago. He will continue in this capacity also. The resignation of Carl Tuttle, who has served as assessor for many yean was read. Tuttle resign­ ed because of health problems. The letter of resig­ nation was tabled until the next meeting. The resignation would be effective December 31. The office of assessor is an elective one, and the ap­ pointment of a new official would be effective on­ ly until the spring election next March Cecil Barrett, president of the fire board express­ ed the importance of a new fire barn. The Maple Grove-Castleton fire department, manned by a volunteer group of fire fighters from the village of Nashville has long been in need of a new structure to house the equipment. The building is unsound and is not large enough to house the present equip­ ment. The present fire department is set up to cover Maple Grove and Castleton townships including the village of Nashville, which lies within the bound­ aries of Castleton township. Each governing body of the three units shares expenses. However, Ma­ ple Grove township could not legally vote monies to build a structure outside of their township. This might be changed by setting up a fire district. How­ ever this would set definite Boundaries, which have, in the past, been more or less flexible in order that the present department could give aid to other de­ partments as a neighborly gesture. Too, some of the Vermontville and KaJamo township residents, who have Nashville phones, are protected by the lo­ cal department, and as such are "paying customers" It might work out to better advantage to have a new fire bam built by Castleton township and the village of Nashville. These two units would then hold their meetings therein, and probably house the office of the Chief of Police. These are only tenta­ tive plans, and the council expressed their willing­ ness to cooperate. Monday evening the Fire Board met and the three units continued further discuss­ ion In other business the council approved sending James Erwin, Street superintendent, to a sewage dis­ posal training school. This would pave the way to providing an additional plant man in case if illness or other emergency. Village officials are still attempting to set up a local traffic bureau to handle traffic offenders at a local leveL Complaints of dogs running at large are continuing to come in, and again residents are reminded that dogs must be confined. The paying of bills and other routine business took up the re­ mainder of the Thursday night meeting. Be sure of correct address on overseas letters, packages Postmasters Wilma F. DeCamp of Nashville and Lawrence Frith of Vermontville, today urged the citizens of Nashville and Vermontville to be sure to use the correct address oo their letten and pack­ ages going to servicemen overseas to avoid serious delays in delivery. The postmasten reported that millions of letten and packages going overseas have been delayed be­ cause they were insufficently addressed. They said that one of the biggest problems had been the fail­ ure of persons to include the very important 5 dig­ it APO or FPO number in the military address. Mail not containing thia number is incorrectly addressed. Last year more than 9 million pieces of mall were delayed in delivery. Of this number, 3 1/2 million pieces failed to include the complete 5 searches were made to determine the proper a d 'dresses. "As the Christmas mail volume going overseas is expected to increase up to 30 per cent or over 4 million pounds above last year, every precaution should be taken by friends and relatives of service­ men to address their letten and packages properly to assure rapid delivery to its destination, ‘ Poet­ master DeCamp said. • There are four essential elements to an overseas military address. They are: 1. The serviceman’s identity - grade,full name, and service number. 2. His military unit - complete. 3. Gateway post office - New York. San Francisco or Seattle. 4. APO at FPO - a fi digit number. When any of these elements is missing, the let­ ter or package will be delayed in delivery. �Letter to Editor BACKSTREET BAROMETER by john boughton To the editor of the Maple Valley News, Xn your November 16 issue you reported my resig­ nation from teaching and coaching. The wording of your article seemed rather one-sided. Conse quently, I would like to present my reasons for re­ signing by asking that the major portion of my let­ ter to the Maple Valley School Board be printed in your paper. W ithin the context of this letter are the many problems which caused my eventual de­ cision to resign. Thank you very much for your consideration of this reply. I wish to add that I certainly did not begrudge other groups the use of the gymnasium. I did feel that at times conflict occurred which could have easily been avoided by proper scheduling from the main office. I also did not feel I could effectively coach a new team while having to shout instruc­ tions to them over the noise of other groups in the gym, such as cheerleaders and volleyball teams. These groups presumably would have been using the gym at the same time as both the vanity and reserve teams after school. The following is the letter submitted to the School Board: Dear Sirs: I am hereby submitting my resignation to you, effective immediately. This necessary action has been taken after mucn thought and consideration of the signed agreement I made with you in May of this year. However, I feel that I cannot teach or coach under conditions now existing between m y self and the administration. When I signed my contract with the school board, I did so with the understanding that my teaching assignment was to be seventh grade mathematics and physical education. Upon receiving a class assignment sheet for teachers at the first meeting of teachers in September, 1 discovered that I had been assigned an eighth grade science class. The superintendent had assured me before I had signed my contract (I would not sign the contract until this had been clarified) that such a class was not a part of my assignment for the school year of 1967­ 1968. Upon inquiry, the superintendent said he could do nothing about changing the class, and that I would have to speak to the principal. Two days after the principal told me there was no pos sinle way to change the schedule, I was given the classes I had agreed by contract to teach. ' I was hired as the varsity basketball coach, but find that my efforts to work with the boys interest­ ed in the vanity team were hindered at every turn. During football season it was my desire to open the gym on Mondays after school so that those boys not participating in football might have a chance to improve their shooting ability and other fundamen­ tal skills they needed to acquire. I was told that this would interfere too much with football, even though the season bad already started and the gym would have been opened only for those boys not in football. As the time approached for regular basketball practice to begin I requested the use of the gym from 5:30 to 7:30 for the first few weeks of prac­ tice.* - 1 wasn't well acquainted with the vanity team and I felt that I needed the time with them without the distractions of other groups using the gym immediately after school. I was given five reasons, all at different times, as to why the gym couldn’t be used at that time. These reasons are as follows: 1. There was a Board policy against this. (With this I offered to speak to the Board and was given another excuse to take the place of the fint one. (By the way, there is no such Board policy.) * 2. The community wouldn't like it 3. It interfered with play practice. (I checked with the play director myself and told her if such a practice interfered with her program that those boys involved in the play would be excused from ball practice early. She said that this arrangement would be entirely satisfactory. Only two players are involved with the play, but the superintendent would still not go along with this arrangement.) 4. Cena in agreements had been made when the schools had consolidated. (This was never clearly defined and was not mentioned any further.) 5. The superintendent himself, would not go a­ long with the idea of a practice at such a time.) With all these excuses it seems that the concern of the administration is not for the improvement of the existing teams--varsity, junior vanity, and freshmen--but whether or not they themselves are personally in favor of any requests made to them. This past summer I spent three evenings a week, for five weeks, at the high school working out with any boys interested in playing basketball this win­ ter. 1 did not feel this time bad been wasted, since the boys were showing signs of improvement ui the Maple Valley News Nashville News & Vermontville Echo NASHVILLE, MICHIGAN Published weekly by Nashville Publication, Inc.

One of these mornings soon we will be getting up to the tune of HO HO HO and the sidewalks will be full of little boys with new bikes and little girls w ith buggies and dolls. Right after that comes the frantic fathers with the bills after them. I thought for a while that our early snow would last till Christmas, but perhaps not. Maybe we will get more by that time. The Lions Club held their annual Christmas par­ ty on Monday night and had a lot of fun. George Vogt was the star of the Christmas program with his recitation in the Lion's Christmas play. When Santa Claus comes to town on Friday he is going to take time to talk with all of his friends in town. The children will get to sit on his lap and tell him what they want for Christmas. While all of this is going on we will take pictures for those parents or grandparents who want a shot of their children with Santa Claus. Saturday, when the streets were covered withice, someone came down Francis street a bit too Council Proceedings The regular meeting of the Council was called to order by Pres. Rizor with all present.

Before any of us knew what was going on. the fellow threw it in reverse and joared out of the yard. It is fortun­ ate that no kids were playing in me yard. I talked to a man who had been in Kalamazoo on Tuesday morning ano he said the high school kids there were protesting on me streets about the decision of the Kalamazoo school board to force the cheer leading squad to accept negroes on me squad. It would appear that me sins of the past hundreds of years are just now catching up with Americans.

On December 10th members and friends of EARC will travel to Fort Custer State Home to bring a bit of Christmas cheer to forty young boys and forty crippled ladies.

WHITE, SECRETARY MICHIGAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Few Michigan motorists realize there are two kinds of freeways in Michigan--Interstate freeways and state freeways. "The only difference between Interstate Freeways and state freeways is in the financing, " Chairman Ardale W. Ferguson of the State Highway Commis­ sion says. "Interstate freeways are financed with 90 per cent federal funds and 10 per cent state funds while state freeways are financed on a 50-50 basis. " Planning Committea meeting well-attended Harry Ratlins wins 6-day Florida trip The Vermontville Planning committee and guests met Thursday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Kenyon Peabody. There were about 20 persons pres­ ent and they were shown slides of various places in the New England states, shown by Ford Caeser,prin­ cipal of the High Street school in Lansing. Refresh­ ments were served. Chris King heads the Planning committee as chairman; Mrs. Joyce Ratbburn is secretary, and Mrs. Mary Hulben is publicity chairman. The 41, 000-mile Interstate Freeway System was approved by Congress in 1947 but construction didn't get underway until adequate financing was made a­ vailable by Congress in 1956. Michigan is one of the leading states in construc­ tion of Interstate freeways. It has built 807 miles of the 1, 080 miles of Interstate freeways allocated to Michigan. Many apply for An 850-mile State Freeway System was establish­ ed by the State Legislature in 1955 to compliment Michigan's Interstate Freeway System. Ferguson reports that 482 miles of state freeways are now open to traffic and that it will cost more than $700 million to build the remaining 368 miles of state freeways. The $700 million estimate is more money than it cost to build the state freeways'now in use. Major state freeway routes include Us-23 from the Ohio line to Flint, US-131 from the Indiana line to Cadillac, US-31 from the Indiana line to St. Joseph and from Holland to Ludington, US-127 from the Otho line to Lansing, M-53 from Detroit to Imlay City, M-78 and M-21 from Lansing to Port Huron ana US-27 from Marshall to Grayling. Naval Reserve CDR. J. N. Stevens, Commanding Officer of the Battle Creek Naval Reserve Training Center, has stated that in past years, there has been a large in­ flux of applicants for enlistment in the Naval Re­ serve during the month of December. With this in mind. CDR. Stevens said that appli cants will be processed in order of their arrival and that currently a waiting list for December and Jan­ uary enlistments is being established for men be­ tween the ages of 17 and 26. Anyone interested should call the Center at W02-2791 or stop in and talk to Master Chief Zederbaum at 900 Capital Ave.. S. W. in Battle Creek. A master highway classification plan, which calls for construction of an additional 1, 400 miles of state freeways during the next 20 years, was recent­ ly approved by the State Highway Commission. This proposed expansion of the State Freeway Sys­ tem calls tor extension of US-31 from Ludington to the Mackinac Bridge and US-131 from Cadillac to Traverse City. Other major additions to the State Freeway Sys­ tem would be US-2 across the Upper Peninsula, US23 from Standish to Alpena. M-35 from Menomin­ ee to Marquette, a freeway paralleling 1-94 through Michigan's southern tier of counties and a freeway paralleling 1-75 from Detroit to a point north of Bay City. The Vermontville village council will meet in regular session Thursday evening of this week. Presiding over the jession will be acting-presi­ dent, Vernon Trowbridge. He is heading up the council following the resignation of Otus Mills who last week moved to Charlotte because of his work. Thursday evening will be given over to further discussion of the proposed sanitary sewer system and representatives from the engineering company o f Williams & Works of Grand Rapids, and the village attorney, George Watson of Charlotte will be pres­ ent to assist in the discussion of costs, plans, and various ways of financing the proposed sanitary sys­ tem. Harry Rollins, grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Beard of Nashville, is the winner of a 6-day trip to Miami, Florida. Harry, an eighth grader in the sta­ ple Valley schools, will leave from Detroit Thurs­ day for Florida. The trip is sponsored by the Enquirer and News and Harry is one of three boys who will be making this trip. In a recent circulation drive, sponsored by the newspaper, one boy was selected from the Battle Creek area, one from the surrounding area (which is Harry) and one who obtained the largest number of new customers. Harry and his grandparents also enjoyed a lunch­ eon on Tuesday at the Post Tavern in Battle Creek. Mr. George Spang, the district supervisor for the cir­ culation department of the Enquirer and News and Mrs. Spang also attended the luncheon. .< Hot Lunch Menu DECEMBER 11 - 15 MON--Chili/cracken, celery stick, jelly sand, peaches, cookie, milk.

"Our studies show we'll need to build another 1, 500 miles of freeway between 1970 and 1980 if we are to meet our growing highway needs, " he said. "Unless we get additional revenue, we'll fall far short of that mark. Even with an increase in reven­ ue, we may not hit the 3, 000-mile mark by 1980 because of the uncertainty of what the federal high­ way financial picture will be after the Interstate System is completed in 1972. " Minor Tune-up NEW COURTS Justice Courts will go out of business by Jan. 1, 1969. It still isn't definite what sort of system will replace the old Justice of the Peace nor now well the new plan will work. Most difficult of the questions involving the "Dis­ trict Courts” are: Will the local community, the state, or a com­ bination of the two pay expenses of maintain­ ing the District Court? What limits will be placed on the types of cases the new court can handle? W ill laymen be allowed to act as judges, or will it ne required that only lawyers can serve in this capacity? The legi'laturr was given five yean from the date the new Constitution took effect. There are only 18 months left. About 1,100 miles of other routes have been de­ signated as "principal state highways”-- mostly in Northern Michigan—and a third classification-"area service highways"--was designated for the re­ maining 5, 000 miles of state highways, Ferguson noted. The Commission Chairman said Michigan will have more than 1, 300 miles of Interstate and state freeways open to traffic by the end of this year and will pass the 1, 500-mile mark by 1970.

DECEMBER 7, 1M7 — �Musical program planned Clerk discusses sewer problem On November 9, 1967, the offices of the Village Council of Vermontville called an open meeting held in the Maplewood school,x to better acquaint the people as to what is being done toward a sewer system in the village.

The Council felt that the citizens of the vUlage should have the opportunity to hear what has been done so far, and have a chance to ask questions or make suggestions. There was a representative, Mr. Williamsfrom Engineering and Planning firm, Wil­ liams & Works, the village lawyer, George Watson, and Mr. Buxton and C. W. Hill from Farm Home Ad­ ministration present to answer questions, and to ex­ plain why things have not moved faster. The number of citizens that availed themselves to the meeting was small, but they showed much en­ thusiasm oh the much needed project. Mr. Williams reported on what they, as engineers have already accomplished, and he brought out ways and means to finance the program. He gave estimated cost to individual users. At this time it seems that private financing is the best course. This would be in the form of general obligation bonds, with the maximum allowable-10% of state equalized valuation, which at present is $1, 295, 860. 00, and revenue bonds for the bal­ ance. There are still many things to be worked out, and when things seem more definite, home owners and tax payers will have a chance to vote on the plan. When this time comes, the village hopes mote than a handful will turn out to vote. I write this in behalf of the entire council Leta Nagle, ViUage Clerk. Members of the elementary band at Maplewood, under the direction of Mr. Reuben Droscha and vo­ cal students directed by Kathleen Ossman, will fur­ nish the program for the December 7th Maplewood PTA meeting in the AH-Purpose room at 8 p. m.

DECEMBER 1. 1967 FOOD mart SPAPTAH STOPES �Medical Society discusses acute doctor shortage Zip codes necessary Holiday mailers will spend less time at parcel post windows mailing Christmas gifts if they have the proper ZIP code in the mailing address. Postmaster General Lawrence F. O'Brien today re­ minded mailers that since January of this year, post­ age for a package is determined Dy the ZtP code number. If the code is not in the address, the window clerk must look it up. This, obviously slows movement in die parcel post line. Mr. O'Brien noted that this Christmas, a record volume of mail is expected and "anything that can be done to expedite the processing will ease the burden on posul employees, speed service and help make a visit to the postoffice a more pleasant ex­ perience. " Most parcel post is sorted and routed by ZIP codes. Presently, about three fourths of all pack­ ages come into the postoffice with the codes already in the address. Since January 15, when Public Law 89-593 be­ came effective, the key to determining the postage rate on a parcel is the "sectional center, " the main post office servicing a large area. As many as 100 postoffices may route their mail through the section­ al center which is a transportation and marketing hub. The first three numbers of the five-digit ZIP code represent this major postoffice. "There is still time to fill out and return the re­ cently distributed ZIP code locator cards to obtain needed codes before holiday mailing, " Mr. O'Brien said. The cards were sent to households during Sep- Locals Mrs. June Nesbet spent Thanksgiving day with the D. B. Longs in their new home in Portage. Other guests were Mr. and Mrs. Chester Long of Hastings and Miss Dorothy Long of Grand Rapids. tember and October to make the codes readily avaliable. Persons wishing to find a number fill in the zipless address and their return address on the card and mail it free of charge. The postoffice sup­ plies the proper code and returns the form. Hashvitle Lions enjoy Christmas party About thirty Nashville Lions and their wives at­ tended and enjoyed a Chrjstmas party Monday night at the VFW Hall. The ladies of the VFW Auxiliary served a dinner of turkey and ham. The tables and the hall were decorated for Christmas. Gale Keihl, president of the Lions Club, greeted the guests and then turned the meeting over to the program committee. Serving on this committee were Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Jarvie and Ruben Droscha Their program was rather amusing and a great deal of fun. They had an old-fashioned Christmas pro­ gram, like one which might be given by a group of children in a country schooL All participated and entered into the fun with good spirit. The gift exchange portion concluded the program. The regular monthly meeting of the Barry Coun­ ty Medical Society war held Monday evening, No­ vember 20 at 6t.3O p. m. The program was opened by an interesting clinical dixcuision on low back pain by James Gleaner, M. D., a Grand Rapidi or­ thopedic surgeon. Following Doctor Gleaner's pre­ sentation, the Medical Society unanimously agreed to support the Child Guidance Clinic through a cash contribution. The remainder of the evening was spent discuss­ ing the acute doctor shortage in Barry County. The Barry County Medical Society has undertaken an all-out effort to recruit physicians for the area. One of the main problems in obtaining young practition­ ers is the desire of young physicians to specialize. The demand of the armed services also takes many young physicians away from private practice. In an effort to procure physicians, the Medical So­ ciety has contacted 260 hospitals with intern train­ ing programs in the midwest area. It is hoped that young physicians in training at these hospitals will respond and come to Hastings to look over the com­ munity. Anyone knowing' of a physician who is a­ bout to finish his training or is being discharged from the armed services, or a physician who desires to relocate, should contact Gordon Finnie, M. D., President of the Barry County Medical Society. Joins Michigan Magnetics John E. Nelson has joined the engineering staff of Michigan Magnetics in Vermontville.

Jarvis, then pastor of the KUpatrick church near Woodland. They started housekeeping on a farm in Sunfield township. The couple lived in 24 different houses during their first 50 years of marriage before moving to their present home 23 years ago. Most of the time they were farmers, and, despite his age, Mr. Guy still has a big garden, and keeps his five acres of land mowed witn the use of a power mower. In addition to farming, Mr. Guy worked in a mill in Johannesburg and has done considerable carpentry work. Mrs. Guy pieced a quilt to give each of her 21 grandchildren as a wedding present. Mr. and Mrs. Guy have four children, Mn. Letha McDiarmid of Sunfield, Carl of Route 1, Milliken, and Archie and Irene at home. There are 58 great­ grandchildren and one great-great granddaughter.

Miss Faust received an award certificate, a check for $750, two extra weeks of vacation and two inter­ national trip passes for be­ ing named the Hostess of the Year. Zona Faust The Nashville Chamber of Commerce can be proud of the success of their Christmas kick-off or whatever you call it of last Friday night. The whole thing turned out very welL It was the best Christmas parade we have had since I can remember, the crowd seemed to be in a jolly holiday mood, and the kids and Santa Claus got along just fine. Sama did a bang-up job. He saw over two hun­ dred children and he took time to talk with each and every one of them. Many sat on his lap and told him what they wanted. I heard a number of orders for Hondas. The success of the Christmas party is due to the hard work of many people who put a lot of effort into the affair. . The NashvUle Chamber purchased the new deco­ rations and made the arrangements for the parade and for the place for Sama to visit with his friends. John Simon headed up the Christmas promotion committee. He and jolly Glen Garlinger are to be congratulated on the evening. Saturday Santa wUl be here again and again he will have treats for his friends. WhUe the kids are visiting with Santa those who are just a bit older will find that the Nashville bus­ iness people have plenty of new and unusual Christ­ mas gift items on sale. Santa said he had so much fun last Friday that he is for sure coming back on this Saturday and a­ gain next Saturday. Letter to the Editor; It was with great interest and much anger that we read last week's letter to the Editor from Mr. Zim­ merman. We attended the school board meeting the night hi* resignation was accepted and we read in the paper that week the report of that meeting. We must certainly agree with Mr. Zimmerman that the report was very biased. We were tempted at that time to write our opin­ ion but because we were not personally involved we decided against it. For that we are sorry. By saying we were not personally involved we mean mat we do not have any boys in varsity basketball this year nor do we have any children in Mr. Zimmerman's classes. We attended the meeting solely because we were disturbed by what our children had told us was going on at school concerning Mr. Zimmerman and as we pay a substantial amount of taxes we decided that it was our duty, as a taxpayer, to find out the complete truth. This In itself is an absurdity and now, publicly, we with to ask the school administration, the school board, and for the interest of you parents who sit back, complain constantly, and do nothing the fol­ lowing questions: 1. Why was Mr. Zimmerman's letter of resigna­ tion no tread at the school board meeting so that it could be discussed? 2. Why was Mr. Zimmerman not asked to attend the school board meeting so that a possible solution could have been worked out? 3. Why are we always being shuttled aside by the trite phrase, " It is a school board policy" when, if looked into, we find that it isn't so? 4. Why wouldn't the community like what Mr. Zimmerman had in mind about basketball practice? It seems to us that was between Mr. Zimmerman,the basketball boys, and their parents. 6. What are the certain agreements that wjire the half-time ceremonies. I think I'L' be in shape for New Y ears. I A prof from Michigan State was telling me a­ bout the president of i University where he once taught in Pennsylvania. This man said the Prexy was the typical absent minded professor who was always misplacing things and forgetting things. This man was asked to speak in a town tome dis­ tance from his home so he drove to the place the night before and stayed in a hotel He got up the next morning, had breakfast, got into his car and started to drive to his speaking engagement. He had driven for some time when he realized he had forgotten where he was supposed to be. So he call­ ed the hotel, asked a bellhop to go to hi* room, take a note out of a suit pocket and relay the mes­ sage of just where he was supposed to be speaking. It would appear that just about everybody in town has come up with a bout of the flu. Hope we all get it out of our systems before Christmas. Sunday I started to get into practice for the big New Years Day football watching. I tat through a double-header football game. It take* real power to do that and not even drop off to sleep during Letter to Editor December 9,1967 by john boughton made when the schools consolidated? We were not aware of any but we definitely warn to know what they were and when and why they were made. & If the gym is available for basketball practice what personal business is it of the superintendent or principal? We have been deeply and personally involved with basketball for a number of years and we know a great deal about the situation between football practice, basketball practice, and the administration. Mr. Zimmerman is quite correct in his assumption that the administration is not interested in our basketball team as a thing in itself, but whether or not the the administration is not interested in our basket­ ball team as a thing in itself but whether or not the basketball team is in agreement or not with any suggestions from the administration. We are not saying that Mr. Zimmerman should or should not have been reinstated, we do not even know him, but we have heard extremely favorable reports about his coaching this past summer and hi* teaching ability thisi falL fall. We personally feel that our school was very remiss in their handling of this situation. But when seven men are so gullible that they will believe anything the administration tells them, without actually knowing whether it is the whole story or not; then it is obvious that we can't expect much else from them. And, when parent* show as little interest in the school as they do in this community, then the situation will certainly not improve. We also want you parent* to know, especially you parent* who, because of your children, were personally involved in this, to know that the most of what has been stated in this letter was said to the school board that night. The exceptions being two or three questions that were brought out in Mr. Zim­ merman's letter of resignation that we didn't know about Sincerely, Bill and Marge Lindberg What to Give for Christmas?

A total of 15 local artists and craftsmen have contributed articles to this exhibit. The variety of items shown is rather unique and unusual. They range from wood sculpture, decora­ ted tinware, paintings on old wood, photographs and many paintings. Also exhibited are pillows, bird houses, feather trees and feather wreaths, draw­ ings, prints, and note paper. Many of these items'are for sale while others are simply on exhibit. They will remain on exhibit until Christmas. The office is open during the week from 9 to 5 and will remain open Friday nights until 9 and all day Saturday for the next two weeks. Those who have things on exhibit at this time include: Jane and Jerry Shoup, Eunice Priddy, Jerrie Nagle, Vicki Banks, Terry Edger, John and Amy Boughton, Margaret Swiger, Mt. Hayter, Mrs. Welch, Rev. C. C. Gibson and Sena French. Bus available for educational trips Some months ago the Eaton County 4-H Council purchased a retired school bus to be used for educa­ tional trips. It served the purpose very well for a re­ cent trip to Chicago, and is available for use by any 4-H Club in the county. The bus will transport 36 people and enough luggage for several days. Use of this vehicle should make it possible for many more 4-H members to attend educational events or to plan their own trips, to see and do things that are related to 4-H work, at a very reasonable cost. The Council will be making plans for using the bus in connection with county-wide events, but also wishes to encourage 4-H clubs to make use of it to carry out some oftheir own plans. Owning the bus has no value to the Council if it is not useiArrangements for scheduling and using tbe bus can be made through the 4-H Council by calling 543-2310.

The White Plague was TB. To combat this devastating Illness, the National Tuberculosis Association was formed in this coun try at the turn of the century. In the same year-1904--the first Christmas Seal was created by a Danish postal clerk. Why not, he thought, urge people to buy a special sump while their holiday spirit was soaring? The Danish postmaster liked the idea, and the King of Denmark asked his people ro­ use the sumps on their Christmas cards and pack­ ages. The generous Danes responded with tre­ mendous enthusiasm. Soon there was enough mon­ ey to construct a children's tuberculosis hospiuL That was the beginning. The Seals came across the sea to people in America. The American Red Cross sponsored the first campaigns, and the Christ­ mas Seal sported a single red cross. In 1910 the NTA joined forces with the Red Cross. A decade later, the TB Association had grown so that it could carry on the crusade alone. The Seal became a brignt red double-barred cross. Soon it was a fam­ iliar part of the Christmas scene as well as an hon­ ored American tradition. Today, a half-century later the crusade goes on. The work of Christmas Seals through the years has helped to reduce TB drastically. But the cru­ sade isn't over. About 30 million Americans are infected with TB germs, and nearly 100, 000 per: sons have known.active TB. Christmas Seals still play a part in the struggle. But today they support more than the campaign against the White Plague. Contributions help sponsor the struggle against res­ piratory disease and the special noxious effects of air pollution and smoking. The National Tuberculo­ sis Association slogan sums up the struggle: "It's a Matter of Life ana Breath.

William McGraw, director of the Michigan Tourist Council, blamed a combination of dead fish, bad weather, riots, strike threats and Expo 67 for the decline. Matters are worse when one considers that tour­ ism increased five percent nation-wide. Michigan suffered a greater loss in tourist business than is re­ flected in the five percent figure. Tourism in the state has been increasing at about 10% per year. It reached an all-time high of $1. 065 billion in 1966. Some gloom is lifted when annual figures are considered. The Tourist Council is confident that 1967 will register more than $1 billion in tourist spending. Figures are not in for autumn but last winter's business, lead by an upsurge in skiing, in­ creased $6. 5 million over 1966. This autumn is expected to show an increase. Questionaires covering autumn and annual tour­ ist sales are being prepared. Seasons are classified in three categories: winter, December through A­ pril; spring-summer. May through August; and au­ tumn, September through November. About 70% of total business is done in the spring-summer seas­ on. Adverse factors which caused the 1967 decline Are mostly uncontrollable, the council feels. Ef­ fects of bad weather, strikes and riots cannot be overcome by advertising and promotion. McGraw says it was unfortunate all these conditions oc­ curred during the same season. Things look bright­ er for next year, he thinks. The alewife die-off, which received wide­ spread publicity, is expected to be a less severe problem next year. McGraw stated that many outstate vacationers did not realize the alewife prob­ lem affected only parts of Lake Michigan beaches. Many were discouraged from visiting Michigan be­ cause they thought all of the Great Lakes suffered die-off. Some even thought the problem extended to inland lakes, he said. Expo 67 was a mixed blessing for the state’s 40, 000 tourist establishments. Some areas, such as Iro nwood, reported as much as 20% business in­ crease due to Expo-bound traffic. Ishpeming had a 25% decrease, however, and other areas attribu­ ted tourism declines to Expo's attraction. Bright spots in next year's outlook are, for the most part, " iffy" and dependent upon factors out­ side of council control. James Hall, council chairman, feels indepen­ dent businessmen must play a bigger part in tour­ ist promotion. He notes that competition from other states and Canada was a major factor in the 1967 business decline. Hall also notes that the council requested a $2 million appropriation from the Legislature, almost double the present figure, for increased advertising and promotion. Success of introducing Coho salmon to the Great Lakes has already stimulated some tourist business and more should follow. Tolls on the Mackinac Bridge are slated to be re­ duced from the present $3. 75 per passenger car. If this reduction becomes effective before the 1968 spring-summer season, it could accelerate tourism in both the UP and Lower Peninsula. If there are no riots next year, and if strikes are kept at a minimum and the alewife don't create too big a problem, Michigan may move from its number five spot in tourism towards the number one position.

Any­ one who has driven behind "a woman driver, " watched a "draggin" teenager, or waited for an un­ sure person to chive into an intersection knows it.

Give ti a ti Green "Stamps LEON FRITH Leeearl Service NASHVILLE on <6030 Negotiations between the administration and teacher* of the Maple Valley school district will probably begin in January or February on teacher salaries for next year. At the regular board meeting Monday evening Herald Hanson and John Vielewere appointed to represent the board at any of the meet­ ings. while Supt. Carroll Wolff, high school prin­ cipal Forrest Rinehart and elementary principal Rob­ ert Steward were named from the administration. Mrs. Sylvia Williams was hired as kindergarten teacher for the second semester. Her original con­ tract was for the first half of tbe year only. The board approved the purchase of six pieces of equipment for the metal shop department. Total price was $4, 525. This equipment has been ap­ proved under tbe Title in National Defense Educa­ tion act which will allow approximately 30 percent reimbursement. The board -discussed the inadequate visibility at the railroad crossing on Reed street in Nashville. This has been studied by the council over the yean but the situation has become more important since the new high school was constructed and more per­ sons travel this route. The cost of putting in a hash­ ing signal seems prohibitive, but widening the street so that the school buses could approach at right an­ gles with the crossing instead of the present situa­ tion should be given consideration before a tragedy occurs. Estimates are to be secured for draperies and win­ dow light'control curtains at the Fuller street, Kel­ logg and Maplewood schools. Tne board has approved purchase of three new 66passenger school buses for next August delivery. The bus bodies will come from the Carpenter Burch Body company of Rockford for $4,100 each and the chas­ sis from International Harvester company at Lansing at a cost of $3, 598. 47 each. Application for membership in the Tri-Center Athletic association, including schools at Portland, Saranac, Montcalm Central, Carson City-Crystal, Edmore-Montabella, Fulton-Middleton and Lake­ view, was rejected recently in a five to two vote. Approval has to beunanimous in this league. Maple Valley's reason for wanting to change from tbe Ex­ pressway is because tbe schools are more nearly the same size, and an eight-school league would solve Post offices participate in Alien registration The nation's 32, 000 post offices will participate in the registration of about 3 1/2 million aliens next month. • Under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, every post office is responsible for providing registration cards and turning the completed cards over to the Immigration and Naturalization S er vice. The cards must be picked up personally by regis­ trants and they may be banded in to the post office when completed or turned in directly to Immigra­ tion and Naturalization offices. Post offices will accept the cards only until the end of January, tbe month in which the aliens are required to register. Those who have not registered by January 31 mutt go to Immigration and Naturali­ zation offices to do so. Cards and all materials needed by post offices in the registration are being mailed to the offices this month, but registrants may not obtain the cards un­ til January. Alien registrations have been increasing. In Janu­ ary, 1966, about 3. 3 million aliens registered, and in January, 1967, the total was about 3. 4 million. Further increases are anticipated in 1968, The Post Office Department is reimbursed for it* role in the registration by the Immigration and Nat­ uralization Service at about 9? for each registrant. Aliens are not necessarily restricted to registra­ tion at their "home"post office. If . away from home, they may register at a nearby post office. some of the scheduling problems. Driving distance would not be cut down, but more direct routes on better roads would result. Maple Valley may re­ submit at a later time. Bills in tbe amount of 88,22L 60 were approved and the transfer of two payroll accounts of 830, 051. 99 and 829.16K 38 were also approved. The adult men's recreation program started this week at the high school and the adult women's pro­ gram will begin in January. The shop class has completed the box for the pickup truck and consideration is being given for the building of another box for another VehicleTJWned by the school The Rambler station wagon was delivered this week. State vocational reimbursement for last year in the amount of 82, 640. 00 or 50 percent, has been received for equipment purchased in the commer­ cial rooms. Final reimbursement forms for the Title III program for last year have been filed. Total a­ mount of the program was 87, 025.41 and reimburse­ ment should be approximately 50 percent. At the high school there has been a high percent of absenteeism of students and teachers because of illness. At the peak last week 220 students and eight teachers were out.

Draft Appeal folder now available Selective Service wants every registrant to know his rights to appeal his draft classification. Colonel Arthur A. Holmes, state director, has pro­ vided all Michigan local boards with a new pa m phlet on "Taking Appeals from Selective Service Classifications". Copies are free to all who ask. Registrants, dependents and employers are con­ stantly reminded of appeal rights following each classification. Most problems for local boards re­ sult because no one lets the board know the situa­ tion until the registrant is practically on his way to the army. Colonel Holmes reported. He said if a registrant will use his right to re­ quest a personal appearance with his board and to appeal to the State Appeal Board, most cases will be resolved with equity and justice for all concern­ ed. Recently Selective Service extended appeal per­ iods from 10 to 30 days following classification.AU that is required for appeal is a timely written state­ ment " I appeal" signed by the registrant or other authorized person. Local boards also have pamphlets explaining how the draft system operates and information for em­ ployers who wish to request temporary deferments of key employees in critical occupations. These pamphlets may also be obtained from state draft Headquarters in Lansing.

DECEMBER 21, 1967 NUMBER 30 Village Council discusses new Traffic Ordinance The first draft of a uaffic ordinance was read at the regular meeting of the village council Thursday evening. Several recommendations were made ana it is expected the ordinance will be ready for adop­ tion at the next council session. Along with the adoption of the uaffic ordinance a new uaffic court will be set up in the office of the village clerk where fines may be paid locally. Here­ tofore, tickets have been issued within the village on County Tickets and the violations were paid in Hastings. Cecil Barren, Castleton township clerk, and pres­ ident of the Fire Board which embraces Maple Grove and Castleton townships and the village of Nashville, reported to the village council that an option for $500 had been given on the Mary Holman property. This property, north of the present fire bam, is being used as an art gallery by the owner. She will continue the gallery until such time as she decides to turn it over to the village. Meanwhile financing the project will be studied and plans for a new fire barn will be made utiliz­ ing both properties. Harold Nortis was named to the Legislative C o n tact council, a group of representatives throughout the state who work with their legislative representa­ tives. . Ambulance service was discussed at length. Pres­ ently, Nashville is serviced by the Vogt Funeral home, one of two in Barry County. Vogt is subsidiz­ ed by Castleton township, but it is probable Nash­ ville village will support the service also. Mrs. Ada Skedgell, village clerk, reminded those officials whose terms will expire this year, that pe­ titions must be filed by January. The terms of James Rizor, village president, Mrs. Skedgell, clerk; Mrs. Marguerite Wilson, treasurer, and three trus-.. tees, Henry Fedewa, Wayne Skedgell and Frank Scramlin, will expire this year. Carl Tuttle, vil- lage assessor, tendered his resignation to become effective January 1, at the last meeting in Novem­ ber. No one has been appointed to fill the vacancy. The village clerk was instructed to contact the state highway department concerning a sign on M­ 66 showing tne location of the Maple Valley high school. Other items for discussion were storm and sani­ tary sewers and construction of a new water tower.

He had dwelt with memories in his home, So he knew what love was. Residence OL3-2241 He had walked the paths of meditation, So he knew what peace was.

The resolution establish­ ing this fund stated that, "with the view of using Charlton Park on a year around basis, the Christmas activities for Barry County children years hence, could recreate the joys of sleigh rides, ice skating races, Christmas tree bonfire, etc. When that time comes, having funds available for the directors use ' would be essential to perfect such plans because the normal budget would not allow for such expense. This same fact will be true in relation to various other specific proposals of the future. " This first contribution to $50 to the Children's fund was made in memory of Paula Smith of Mid­ dleville. After many previous meetings the total member­ ship of the Barry County Parks and Recreation Com­ mission attended the meeting at the Court House Thursday evening, December 14th when the first preliminary professional study of Charlton Park and the Charlton Museum was presented during a two hour session. We reprint here the summation of the extensive report that took into account: traffic flow, topog­ raphy, shorelines, finances and many other aspects of this vast project. “In summary, brief examination of the resources, historic and natural of Charlton Park would indicate that an exciting, unique development is possible. The development could be oriented both to com- munity activities and to tourist utilization. The po­ tential for tourism, seems adequate to support the issuance of revenue bonds to finance the develop­ ment. In order to achieve the desired development, it is proposed that: 1. Cataloging of the collection be undertaken. 2. A master plan for development be derived. 3. An Economic Feasibility Study be under­ taken. 4. Bond Counsel be apprised of the develop­ ment. 5. As soon as practical, an able director be hired to guide the development. " Many specific decisions now face the P & R Com­ mission. The commission hopes to proceed with imagina­ tive and creative plans so that each Barry County citizen, every child, will grow with understanding and appreciation that Charlton Park, is, and will become, one of the most important and cherished experiences along life's path.

These toenails have been given several other names—hoofs, claws, talons—to fit various types of animals or birds. Members of the cat family, including lions, tigers and leopards, have claws which they use for catching food. These sharp, hook-like toenails are good fighting tools and also serve some of these types of cats in climbing trees to get away from the enemy. Mostly, dogs use their teeth to catch food or fight, but their toenails help them some­ times, such as for digging holes. Birds that sit in trees have long, curved toenails called "talons" to hold branches or limbs. Hawks and owls have taloqs that are longer, sharper and more curved than most birds which en­ able them to catch their prey. Other birds, like pheasants, have dull toenails as a re­ sult of their running on rough ground. Deer, horses, and cows have very heavy toenails known as I'hoofs" which are thick and al­ most as hard as stone. All animals with hoofs eat only grass, tree leaves, or other kinds of plants. None of them eat meat. Perhaps that’s because hoofs can,’t help them to catch hold of other animals. Mich.
