Wood land, was placed on two years probation and was ordered to spend the first 20 weekends in the county jafl. Judge Robinson told Knox he was ordering his week ends spent in jail as that would not affect his job. He was also ordered to pay a $500 fine plus 11.000 court costs, with $500 of the coats to be cancelled if Knox would reveal to authorities his sources of illegal drug supplies. He is to pay the fine and roots at the rale of 175 a month starting next month. Wayne P. Buchanan. 19. 2440 S. Chariton Park Road. Nashville, was also placed on two years' probation but is to spend the first six months in jail. Two months of that time would be suspended if Buchanan would reveal to authorities the sources of his illegal drugs. Judge Robinson explained he was sentencing Buchanan to more jail time than Knox because Knox was bolding down a job, contributing to society. Buehanan is to pay a $100 fine plus $200 court costs al the rate of $20 a month starting a month after he is released from jail In both cases. Judge Rob inson ordered the men not to use drugs or associate with anyone who does, along with other usual probationary terms.

It can be dangerous for the pedestrian When the snow packs down and becomes icy. it would be easy for someone- especially an elderly person or a child-to slip and fall If the city is responsible for the health and safety of those who live and work here, the council should be willing to get involved to the extent of passing an appropriate ordinance But there's an even more compelling reason If someone we<o seriously hurt, chances are good that a smart lawyer would mcludc the city as a defendant in a suit In many parts of town, waits are actually on street rights of way. although adjoining property owner is responsKNe for thee mamtenance. Thto could make the city very vulnerable legaty Keepmg the walks free of snow to not a big responsibility In a typical wmter. there to toss work involved for the homeonwer than cuttmg the grass al summer.

From Kent County came the news that because federal aid was cut. the program to provide free information on birth control was being tnmmed. and fewer famtoes would have the benefits of this program The same newscast also announced that food stamps were being made cheaper, and the eligibility standards loosened, so more families will be eligible We think the priorities may be backward. If we made more of an effort to educate people (especially poor families) in birth control, it might be possible, especially in the next generation, to spend less on food stamps..... It keeps surprising us how far the Banner is reed Not just skimmed and tossed, but actually read A few issues ago. we had an extensive story by our own Baine Gilbert on how the folks in Hickory Comers are faring without thee telephones. Columnist Tom LaBete in the Grand Rapids Press not only found the story, on an msKle page <n the Banner, but thought it was interesting enough that ha quoted long portions of it. He opined that people do survive without phones, but that they eventuaty would sign up again for the eennee So the story, onginaffy intended for a few thousand readers here in Barry County, reached hundreds of thousands or readers through one of the largest newspaper in Michigan.

Voice of the People Dear People of HasUsgs: I have just recently arriv ed in your very fine dly. I arrived from Battle Creek about three weeks ago where I al tended school for two and a half years. Although I was never imprrvied with Battle Creek I was reluctant to leave for a smaller city. I.ml,- did 1 realize how fine a city Hast­ ings really is. I'm presently employed as a Physical Therapy Asais tant at the Barry County Medical Care Facility. Fve worked at five other hoepi tals during Ihe course of going to school, but 1 waa never as impressed -ith the staff as I have been at this facility. Everyone is genuin ly concerned for the resi dents there. 1 had come to learn that nurses were people who stood behind a desk and gossiped for their pay­ checks. This may be true elsewhere but certainly it is not a generality one can make after meeting the staff at the Faciliiy. I'm certainly proud to tell the world where 1 make my living. Now a word about the rest of the town. I have yet to enter a store and not engage in a conversation. The store clerks and other customers are uncommonly friendly. Shopping is truely an enjoy­ able experience. (However driving downtown is a frus­ trating experience, but 1 realise one can't be perfect). A Welcome Wagon Hos­ tess.

She was also very friendly and helpful in *q minting me to the com inanity. Thanks Judy. I'm very excited about joining the people of Hast­ ings in making the com­ munity an even better place to live, I'm willing to help in any way possible. Keep up the good work. Your new neighbor.

From the memory of Birdena McDermott Lyttle Hope Center, lying in the eenter of the Township of hope, and lying among hills, valleys and lakes, is an area of contrasting features. Po< tawalomie Indians traveled through this area for many years, dating back to the 1700's. Likewise, our lakes have come and gone. b> terestmgly enough. Shallow l.ake has gone through four cycles since the 1890's with wet and dry areas In 1890 for instance, water holes were dug for cows to drink from. In the early 1900's water waa high enough for good fishing. In 192930 found the lake covered with a vegetable garden full of melons and sweet corn. It remained miry until 1960. becoming a lake again. In 1840. David Bowker was listed as making the first settlement in the area about a mile from the four corners. The estate of Peter Schronts lay northwest as well as Schronts Lake which is now known as Lake 21. The First church services were held in the Schronts School as well as the first Township meeting in 1850. leaders in the church were li-.t< ,1 aa Jacob Kahler and Moses Seeber. By 1860. numerous log cabins had sprung up and larger tracts of land were Regulations on Tiger Muskellunge For Healthy, Indoor Plant Growth HIlF MOCK CtewS ICC WU . IUWB..XI Extonsaoo Agricultural Ageet Insufficient light for healthy plant growth la one of the biggest problems of indoor gardeners. One way to overcome this is to garden indoors under lights. Michigan State University horticulturists point out that an artificial light garden does not have to be compli­ cated or expensive. A simple beginner's outfit might be a sturdy table, bench or book shelf with a fluorescent light fixture either freestanding or suspended or fastened above. Larger, more decora tive planters can be coo structcd as part of your room deco.-. Fluorewent tubes are re­ commended for indoor light gardening because they give off more light for a given amount of electricity and they are cooler than incan­ descent bulbs. A good light combination for moot plants is one daylight and one warm white tube. This combination provides the red and blue light that plants need to grow best. Special plant-growing lamps provide both kinds of light from one tube, but they are more expensive than stan dard fluorescent lubes and they tend to make all your plants look an exolk pinkish purple. Use a reflector to focus the light onto your plants. Arrange the plants under the Light according to the amount of light they require. Plants that will do well In dim light should be placed toward the ends of the fluorescent tubes, plants that require high light levels should be centered. Fluorescent lights are cooler than Incandescent per day. The easiest way to regulate the light is with an automatic timer that turns them on and off. Turnir j the lights on when you get up in the morning and off again when you go to bed at night will work just as well. Though a few plants will grow well under continuous light, most of them need thsl dark period at night. Thai's when they use the food they manufacture from light, car bon dioxide and water to build new plant tissues. Choose plants for your light garden that will not soon outgrow it. Most fob age plants will thrive under artificial light, but many fight gardeners concentrite on flowering plants like Afri can violets, gloxinia, eptocia and Mhers that need higher levels of light than most homes provide. A light garden is also a good place to start vegetable seedings and flowers for transplanting outdoors. k New in the neighborhood? his no* all bad CUP THi$ FMTUXE W FUTUKS KPS*£MX ★ CROSSWORD PUZZLE * 9.

Legislature Working on Changes In Service Law The Secretary of Slates Office has had to cancel its planned January schedule of statewide meetings origin­ ally intended to answer questions about the state'a new Motor Vehicle Service and Repair Law. The cancellation is brought about by the fact that the legislature is work­ ing on several possible changes in the hw, and the changes won't be settled in time for the meetings. The law. which spells out Michi­ gan's program for regulating motor vehicle service and repair businesses, goes into effect March 1. In its present form, it requires all businesses which provide more than minor vehicle repairs to be registered with the state and to be covered by s surety bond. It also requires repair facilities to provide detailed written estimates for all repair jobs. The revisions in the law could affect these elements of the program, as well as others. Officials in the Secretary of State's Bureau of Auto­ motive Regulation say the uncertainty will result in a delay in the mailing of application kits to repair facilities, as well as in the distribution of publicity de­ signed to explain the law to repair businesses, consum­ ers. and motor vehicle mechanics. The statewide meetings will bv rescheduled if time permits after any changes in the law are resolved. May Buy More Food Stamps For Same Money Starting Jan. 1. most Michigan families using food stamps will be able to buy a larger amount of stamps each month for the same price they are now paying. For example, a family of four will be able to buy food stamps worth $166 eompar ed to the $162 amount BYSAUYW) FSTY WHAT YOUR CAR COSTS With most of us trying to trim our budgets these days to compensate for the soaring cost of just about everything, it’s time to take a hard lock at just what it is costing you to own a car. A car puts a bigger nick in your budget than anything except housing and food, and with gasoline edging up monthly, it may, for the typical family, even surpass food. A United Statea Department of Transportation conducted a survey, based on a projected study of owning a 1974 car for the next 10 years and driving it 100,000 miles. At the time the survey was made, gas was figured at 52 cents a gallon, a figure that's long gone. The survey embraced the original cost of the car, phis fees, depreciation, insurance, gas and maintenance. What is immediately obvious B that it costs a lot more to drive a full-sized, four-door sedan than it does a compact, more to run a compact than a subcompacl. In fact, over the 10-year period the full-sized job will run you up to 43 percent more than the subcompact. That adds up to a sizable amount, as the following figures show: full-sized - about $16,000; compact about $13,000; subcompact - about $12,000. Depreciation is much higher the first year for the big cars than for the smaller sizes, with the next costly items being gas and repairs. For compacts, gas is the most expensive item, then depreciation. For subcompacts, gas costs less than repain and maintenance. Costs vary, of course, according to the geographical area, and how you drive. Another recent survey showed that in rural New Hampshire (the lowest) the cost per mile for a full-sued car was 13 cents; for a compact, 9 cents. In New York Qty (the highest) the cost of driving a full-sized car was 17 cents; a compact 12 cents. You can’t do much about fixed expenses, but you can make substantial savings by keeping your cai in tune and, especially, driving smoothly and with a light foot on the accelerator. ((c) 1975, McNaught Syndicate, lac.) presently allowed. The increase is part of an adjustment made each Jan. 1 and July 1 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to reflect increases in food prices. Some households will re­ ceive only a partial increase and others will receive no increase because the cost to be paid for food stamps will be increased. USDA has also announced a boost in the amount of monthly net income which a family may receive and still remain eligible for food stamps.

There’s something wrong with a political and social system wtuch has wort fake the gomg undone, yet people are being pad not to work It there any reason why a man who normaOy mght make M an hour m a trade can’t fcft a enow shovel rf he R make only 43 or M on hour? We’re not m the bankmg business, but I bet if I loaned someone a few dollars for a shovel, they would be able to pay me back before noon Maybe we don’t need a low. But we do need a lew people (mon or women) who ore not too proud to wield a snow shovel to help support t hemsieves To the Editor: Retarding the editorial about cleaning sidewalks, it is very apparent the editor ial writer never had a curb sidewalk to clean. Once, years ago 1 cleaned -T$4 feet of public sidewalk around our home and then discovered children loved to walk on the bank, pushing the snow back on the side­ walk. Soon afterwards the city plows went by. throw ing snow from the street onto the sidewalk. 1 decided then to clean my driveway, clean the sidewalk from the street to the house and let the snow remain on the rest of the sidewalk to meh the next Spring. By following this excellent procedure I have not had a heart attack from shoveling heavy snow. I do not get upset at the fine children of our city nor am I ever angry at the excellent City em ployees. who keep our streets in good condition. 11 you feel you must write editorials, please think of the something worthwhile and that is needed.

Dry of People Worried About Being ‘A Bother’ Becomes ‘Statistics’ Proernstiaalion end doninl of eymptema are lb* two major rraaooa so many hoars allack patients d>e They simply don’t seek help in lime. And until doctors can educate tbetr parents, ea penally older males, to aak or go for help aa soon as they node* heart aymptema. such as cheat pain, there will be little improvement in death alaUatics. Thia was part of a gloomy prognoaia given to internista and family doctors attending a recent postgraduate course on cardiology al The Univenity of Michigan. Dr. Leon D. Ostrander Jr., a U M heart operiaHef who has made a statistical study of deaths caused by heart attack, told hia fellow physicians that most per son* who have fatal heart seizures have rvcenlly been under a doctor’s care. Many know or suspect that they have -heart trouble* but still they die before a doctor, nurse, ambulance driver or any other paramedical per­ son has a chance to help them. In this respect, heart at tack palieni* are like wound­ ed animals-despito the high availability of life saving equipment aad personnel in hoepitals. factory clinics, aid stations, and fire stations, they tend to "hole-up" away from help, the U M physi­ cian noted. If they become tick al the office, they go bosne to rest. If they feel dl al a wave­ lion or oa vacation, they go back to tbetr hotel room “to lie down for awhile.” Thia ia how moat of them die. uaually beyond help by the time it arrives. Dr. Otlrand er said. "SUtlstkaUy. about 20 per cent of fatal heart at tacks are Instantaneous er nearly so." the cardiologist stated. "Another 45 per cont die within the first 1*6 hours, after symptoms are noticed. From there, the Bb IflSTfflT WHIHERS! MSM1T C4SHI MST«fTC4RSI Jaa. 12. ire death rate levels to the 24 hour mark." Ironically, the U M physi dan noted, "by the lime the average patient with acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) comes under ap­ propriate medical care, the period of maximum risk is past-" Delay ranges from two to four hours. The greatest part is patient decision lime, some ia transportation time and. the remainder medical decision lime. Symptoms moat often re­ ported include fatigue or weakness, shortness of breath, cheat pain, emotion al chinge. Iom of appetite and nausea, arm pain, dixzineas or tainting and ankle swelling. After first noticing signs of illness, most patients aak the advice of a friend or relative; they rest or alow down Calling their doctor is third on this list, followed by taking prescription medi ones, patent medicines, aad drinking (either more or less than usual). AU of these activities do little good and are harmful in that they waste valuable time in getting to the near­ est emergency facility equip­ ped to handle heart attacks. Dr. Ostrander said. The solution, he asserted, lies in education of both patients and doctors. It should be repeatedly em­ phasized to patients at risk of having heart attacks, that they proceed to the nearest hospital by the fastest mean* possible, if they even suspect an attack. In tar too many cases, patients concerned "about being a bother" end up a statistic, hr said. BAMY raBN CALCMOA* Jaa IS Fans lanaa Taa Ma Dear Dr. Eoe: I’ve been having kg cramps.

The board voted to as­ sume sponsorship of the program, which has been run by the lakcwuod School District for both lakewood and Hastings, lakewood will still have ila own adult education program.

Guenther told the Banner today that the adult educa lion programs in both the Hastings and lakewood School Districts have grown to the point where it justi firs Hastings administering its own program. When lakrwood started sponsoring the adull ed pro gram 8 years ago. there were about 50 students In high school completion. Guenther said. Today there arc more than 110. There has been similar growth in the enrichment and college course areas, he said. The board approved recognition of the Hastings Education Secretarial Asm rial ion as bargaining agent for the secretaries on the school staff. Guenther said that more than half of the secretaries had signed the petition asking for rccogm tion. so there is no point in the board seeding a repre­ sentation election. The secretaries who work in the superintendent's of fire are exempted from the bargaining unit.

Superintendent Guenther said that the administration may recommend the closing of the Welcome Corners School next year. Fred Lowe, director of elementary education, said that indications are that classroom space will be available in the Central and Southeastern Schools to ac­ comodate the students new boused at Welcome Corners. There are only 2 students who now walk to Welcome Corners the others all ride the bus. he said. Guenther said that the schools could save aa esli mated (8.000 a year on transportation and fuel if the Welcome Corners building is not used. Lowe said that the final derision will have to wait until April or May. after a reliable count ia obtained aa to how many students will enter kindergarten next fail. If it looks like space will be available, the recommends tion to close the school will be made. After the meeting, Lowe said that the Welcome Cor­ ners building would definite­ ly be kept, because in s few years, the number of ele­ mentary school students is expected to rise, snd the space will again be needed.

Only the choicest fruit wav packed for market in Hasting* or Kala maroo. It usually meant overnight lodging at the farmer's house and good meal* prepared by the farm Making apple butter was a yearly task too. A load of apple* was taken lo the rider mil) wnere they were pressed into rider. A quan lily of rider brought to a bod in the copper boiler heated on a wood range.

FOIST FREE METHO Teaching the Roman Catholic New Rite of Pen ancc ii a big job. It involves much more than just ex plaioiag tbe -mechanics* of tbe New Rite. More im­ portantly, teaching the Church's present under­ standing of the Sacrament of Penance means focusing in on attitudes - attitudes which derive from centuries of tradition and current atti­ tudes toward the sacrament. Commissioned for the task is Sr. Elizabeth Reis. SSJ. coordinator of leecher train ing in the Diocese of Kala­ mazoo. Throughout the months of January and Feb nary. Sr. Reis trill be traveling around the diocese conducting workshops on the New Rite of Penance for all the parishes. With sensitivity, humor and expertise (she has a master of arts degree in Religious Studies from the University of Detroit). Sr. Reis began her task in the northernmost region of the Diocese January 5 at St. Stanislaus Parish in Dorr. There she gave session I of a two part workshop. Session II was held at St. Rose Parish in Hastings oo Jan. 7. Over 100 people attended the combined worvkhop and Sr. Reis was delighted with tbe turnout.

Ineluding the eoerrptx of mystery, grace, and dgn. The goals for session II as outlined by Sr. Reis are "to Investigate the New Rite as a sign of: I) Jesus' call lo repentance and change of hurt. 2) Community: in­ volvement and responsi bility and 31 Celebration: Pr'Ktarnation of healing a bnarh between penitent and God. and penitent and others. Other points of em phasis in session II include ways of experiencing Pen ance as a parish community and suggestions for prepara lion and use at different age levels. Sr. Reis's presentation on the New Rile of Penance is based on the sacrament as a "proclamation of God's for 1 giveness." The sacrament, she says, h an "outward expression of the inward truth" of God's forgiving, gratuitous love. The sacrament of Penance in one way of proclaiming that forgiveness, but God's forgiving love must i>e pm claimed every day in our relationships with each from St. Theresa Parish ia Waylaad.

Sr. Reiv also has a film strip lo help explain tbe three options in the New Rite, which are: I) Indivi­ dual confession and alnolu lion. 2) A communal penance service with individual coo fession and absolution, and 3) a communal penance ser­ vice with communal absolu­ tion.

He thought that by this change.

Chairman BeBeau declar cd plans were bring made for a family day type of July tlh celebration, with a pic nic. games, possibly a tugof war and closing with a huge fireworks display as in cele bralions of long ago. There will be no Indcpen deuce Day parade, but plans are underway for a July 10th parade to mark the opening of the 1976 Barry County Fair and that parade could have a Bicentennial theme. Undersheriff James Orr. who is in charge of the 1976 Fair parade, said at the planning meeting held Mon day evening, Jan. 19. at Hastings High School. Clarence Hartman of the Barry County Sheriffs Pos­ se said a wagon train was being planned, which could be held with lhe Bicenten nial celebration. Plans are to have a campout overnight at the fairgrounds of the parti­ cipants. The annual Michigan Sheriffs Posse's Pony Ex­ press Ride, which ends up in Allegan County this year, will cover a section of Barry County.

Chairman BeBeau said Alameda. Calif., had chai Irnged other cities as lhe "votingist city" in America. Then- arc three categories: The city with the greatest voting registration; voter participation, and the great est percentage of registered voters casting ballots in the presidential election. Irene Gardner, represent ing the Women's Club, said members of the club would participate and suggested that a program of identify ing local historic buildings might be worth while for historical purposes. Plans for a written history of the community since 1900 are underway, and Howard Frost said Ri'hard Cook may undertake the task with enough help from volunteers to do research. All projects require volun­ teer assistance from indivi­ duals and groups, it was emphasized, and Richard Wolfe, chairman of the festi­ val, will welcome help. Projects he suggests for the event include the Line­ coin Douglas debates; his tory of the railroad; Family Reunion Day on the fourth; American documents dis play; a Bicentennial Booth, possibly using the Santa Claus House; down river excursion to Tyden Park: an old fashioned *Lvg along; a beauty queen contest using dresses and gowns of long ago; antique auto show; a cake baking contest with the Bicentennial theme; a flea market with an auction: religion in American 200 and 100 yean ago; organize local participation of Hands Ac­ ross America; work with the J unc 26 Raft Race; a musket shoot, and children's activi­ ties.

Endorses Hickory Phone Rate Fight Michigan Attorney Gener­ al Frank Kelley has pledged his endorsement of the pe lition filed by .ubscriber* of Hickory Telephone Co. to seek a rehearing before the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSCl. The petition for a rehear­ ing was filed Dec. 23 on behalf of the subscribers to challenge a 54 per cent rate increase. Attorneys retained by the rate protest committee learned Tuesday afternoon that Kelley will file papers in support of the petition with­ in the next week. Kalamazoo attorney Wil­ liam Ryan, at a meeting of subscribers Tuesday night, called Kelley's support “the most significant break­ through so far." Ryan told the 250 people in the audience that. "We feel that Kelley and his resources and his influence* will persuade the MPSC to rehear your case." The MPSC in November •elected portable radios, authorized the increase for the company. a subsidary of Telephone & Data Systems of Chicago. The rale boost went into effect on Dec. 1 and raised monthly charge* from $10.60 to $16.35. H the MPSC agrees to rehear the case. Kelley's participation is especially important. Ryan said. The statute* under the law which the MPSC operates, he said, give* the attorney general automatic permis­ sion to intervene in a case pending before lhe commis­ sion. An estimated $10,000 is needed to cover legal ex­ penses for the rate fight. Mrs. Jackie Regis, a mem bcr of the rate protest committee, reported that $2,542.43 has been raised thus far. but that approxi­ mately $900 more is needed lo meet current expenses. An itemized list of expen­ se* incurred to date, include $2,700 for attorneys fees. (They are paid by the hour). Other expenses amount to $728 and include costs for two trips to Lansing and duplication of record* from governmental agencies. To effectively be involv­ ed in a rale case before any regulatory commission, it take* slot of time and ef­ fort," Ryan Mid. "Since fil­ ing the petition, we have been trying to solicit resour­ ces including financing from group* who may be concern­ ed with our efforts.” The rate fight has recent­ ly gained the endorsements of the United Auto Workers’ Community Action Program (CAP), the Barry Township Board of Trustees, the local American Legion Post and Goll Lake Bible Church. Charles Parker, chairman of the protest committee. raised has come from within plans for a teen age dance to help raise funds for the rate fight. The local American Legion Post has donated the use of their hall from 1-5 p.m. on Sunday. February 1 for the dance. Tickets arc 75c each. Proceeds from a recent paper drive netted $168.90. Parker said. Plans call for another paper drive to be held soon. Other tentative fund nos­ ing project* include an auc tion of donated household items in March, and a one day circus in the summer. Ryan told lhe group that "As attorneys researching struck with one major im­ pression. And that i* that thi* case is almost com pletely unique at least in the history of the MPSC." There arc practically no cases, on the books, bf a community such as yours coming together with the spirit and the pooling of resources and fighting city hail-as you call it-all by itself." Ryan said. "We have a hard time gathering any prccidents of any previous cases to follow because, simply, most of the cases involved in rate cases were either taken solely by We Make House Calls A Ya*r letter writing campaign to influential persons in Lan sing. He also urged persons in the audience to encourage their neighbors to have their telephones disconnected. "With a united effort. I think we are going to win," Parker said.

'WINDOW GLASS •nd SMALL ENGINE REPAIR WOODLAND'S I. n Minu , ■ By H.D. Burpee FIRST BRIDGES The upper bridge in thin village was built by HJ. Ken field early in 1840. and though the lower bridge is far the mot! important now. for western and north west era travel, it was first built by private enterprise in 1846. Mr. N. Barlow. Jr.. was nearly at the whole expenw-no doubt increaaing the patronage of his hotel, but accommodating the public more. After there was a grist mil) in this village, people from Woodland consumed two days in coming to mill, and a* they came through heavy timber nearly the whole distance, runners were used more than wheels, even in the Summer time. Oxen were also used more than horses; many are the incidents of ox rides lo visit friends, and attend religious meetings, and five, ten oi fifteen miles did not prevent social gatherings or religious meetings. Some of the roads were not safe lo travel after dark Mr. W. Hayes and two others were coming in from Battle Creek in 1838. on the west road, when night caught them six miles from listings, where it kept them until morning ia a pelting rain, sheltered under their wagon. Several men tracked a bear from this village one morning, and after a day's tramp were compelled to spend lhe night only about two miles south of lhe village in a heavy snow storm. W.P. Wilkinson, of Castle ton. came lo Hastings to pay his taxes, with only a trail for a road. He left to return about noon, but near night lost hri trail, and remained in die woods until morning. The wolves did not let him sleep. Late In 1836 two men and a womr n and a child, camped in the snow for the night near where Dr. Burton's hoove now stands. The woman and child rested well under their blanket tent, with snow falling fast al! night. In May or June 1845, two boys wore loot La the woods in Carlton. They were about eight and ten years old. the lhe name of Freeman. Many people. some from Kalama zoo county, were out hunt­ ing for them. No trace of them has ever been dis­ covered. Suspicion was •trong then, av no less to thia day, that the parents knew what became of these boys. Mr. Freeman left the country soon after search was relinquished A Mrs. Taylor, in Irving, was lost in the woods in 1853. As she was accustom­ ed lo go from her son's to her daughter's house and remain as long as she chose, there was no alarm, until she had been absent some days, as each family supposed she was with the other. After she had been absent a month, her body was found. August 9th. about three quarters of a mile from the house she had left. Several of the first set­ tlers of the county were single men. or elw their wives did not ram* with them. How good housekeep­ ers these lords of creation were. 1 cannot say. Mr. A.C. Parmelee and W. Hayes, lived an independent life for a time in a log shanty near Mr W. Parker's house. These housekeepers, like all housekeepers. were in the habit of visiting each other— though I do not know that they gave tea parties. Al one lime some from Hast­ ings called on their friends in the country and were treat­ ed with lhe delicacies of the house. The host tried to break his bread made by himself, across his knee, but I* was so well mads, he could not break it. The good man. however, made the broad yield to an ax. oa the block at the door, and lo human teeth In the shanty. Mrs. Slocum Bunker was the first female resident of Hastings, and Mrs. Levi Chase, the second. Mrs. Chase stffl resides here. The first 4th of July gsthmng ia thia village was in 1837. to roll up a log shanty for Messers. Parmelee and Hayes. As people neither then nor now yield to incouvenience. exposure or diffi­ culties, when their hearts are set on folly or vice, al lhe first ball in Hastings, on the 4th of July, in *38 or *39 the dining room was in the log hotel of Levi Chase, and the ball room on the upper floor of lhe grist mill eighty or ninety rods up Fall Creek. Whether the company trail ed through the brush from the ball room to the dining room were conveyed on ox sled, report has not inform­ ed me. One man did go seven miles with oxen after his companion. But whether it took him as long, and was as lonley a trip as some had to go to mill, I am not informed. The settlement of Russian Mission. Alaska, was the site of the first Yukon trading post of the Russian Ameri ean Company in 1837. the National Geographic says. �THE HASTINGS BANNER. Wednesday. January 21. 1978.

Bicentennial Project: Kalamazoo Boys Club To Homestead In Barry by Elaine Gilbert On a tract o( rolling land in the heart of Barry County, member* of the Kalamazoo Boy*' Club are forging ahead with plant to turn bark lhe calendar to the lASO's and embark on an adventure whirh will give them first hand experience* of lhe self sufficient pioneer* of lhe past. A* a bicentennial project, lhe Boy*’ Club ia building a rustic farm homestead where group* of eight to 10 member* will lake turn* living, working, and playing in a style typical of the area's early settlers. About X acre* ot lhe dub'* 200 acre camp in Rutland Township has been designated lor lhe home stead project. The club ha* received a 14500 grant from the Michigan American Revolution Bicentennial Commission for equipment, supplies, and materials needed for lhe endeavor. In lhe initial building stage, boy* 10 to 16 year* of age are participating in the project on weekend* and during school vacation*. When lhe homettead is in operation, boy* as young as sis also will be included, according to Richard Milne, executive director of the club. The Hoys' Club is compos ed of whites, black* and Spanish American* whom Milne describe* a* "disad vanlaged kids" who are generally low achiever* in school. The Hoy. Club of KaU mizoo I headquarters' is »o located to serve lhe near downtown youth. This is lhe densely populated area with unfortunately high juvenile delinquency rates." Milne slates. Affiliated with the nearly century old Boys’ Club of America, the Kalamazoo chapter m«-> it* debut 16 year* ago and is a United Way agency. "We first offer a place lo go .30 hours per week during non school time. We feel these youth 6 to IB years of age need that positive super­ vised place." Milne says. "Nest, we attempt to offer activities that not only take up their spare lime, but help them become successful human beings." "Thi» is where our home stead fits in." he esplains. Milne believe* it is im­ portant" lo show people alternative ways to live" and wc» the project a* "an opportunity for city kid* to have a new experience and really participate. It will be living under total balance. You don't see this in the city." he notes. “Al the homestead." he said, "lhe hoys will be learning to accept mother nature's as­ sistance* along with her nuisances" Throughout lhe project. TO to 40 kids will be involved in a big way and about 100 to ISO in a small way." Milne said. Mid June is the target date for the homestead to begin full operation. He hope* it will “run a* an addition to lhe club's regular summer program at the camp." "The kids enthusiasm grows a* lhe project pro grr*ses." he relates, "during construction of the one story house. whenever practical. the kids will use hand tools representative of the kinds used about a hundred year* ago." Milne says. flan* call for the finisbed house to total about 1,000 square fret The dwelling will be built in two separate stages, as was common pro­ cedure in the pioneer period. The first stage, underway, is a 16' by 23' section which will include the kitchen and general living area. A parlor and two bed rooms one to sleep eight to ten kids and another for adult chaperones will be added to the original section of the "house" during the second stage of tbe building project in the spring. This will be a time when lhe rlub will need extra volunteer*, and interested person* will be welcome to help out. Much of the house a* well as its furnishing* will be made of 70 year old barn wood, salvaged from a struc­ ture which was recently torn down at the camp. The exterior of the home­ stead will be barn wood and will include an old fashioned type front porch. If possible, "cedar shakes" will be used for roofing material. Milne comment*. He's also hoping that some old oak. saved from a farmhouse which once stood on lhe camp propertv. will be used for the front door of lhe home •trad. There will lie no electri­ city or plumbing at the homestead. Kerosene or Coleman lamp* will be used done on an old wood burning cookstove which would also provide the only source of heal for lime* when tbe weather is ehiUy. Milne, thus far. hasn't been able to locate a cookstove, but is hoping reader* might be able to help him track down this item. He may be reach ed al tbe club's headquart er* in Kalamazoo or by leaving a message at lhe Edison Community Center in Kalamazoo. Besides constructing and furnishing lhe homestead, tbe kid* will be involved in growing crops, building fence*, and learning a variety oi method* lo pre sene the food they harvest. There arc no immediate or future plan* to raise animal* at the homestead, although Milne says it would ba desirable if th' homestead could be occupied on a year round, daily basis. The chores of planting, cultivating, and harvesting of crops will be shared by the boy*. They'll farm lhe land with mostly hand tools hoe*, cultivator*, etc. Crops similar lo the kind grown 125 year* ago such as squash, corn, potatoes, etc.- will be planted in tbe spring. By checking the old agricultural censuses. Milne say*, they'll be able to find out what kind of crop* were planted in that particular period of history. "Well start with a couple acre truck garden and put in a few apple trees," he said. For starters, main crops will probably be corn and winter Water will be hand pump­ wheat. ed from a well which tbe The boy* will be learning kid* will be drilling (by various method* of preserv­ hand).

Monday, January 26. 1976, Page 8 ARMCHAIR ATHLETE There is a new basketball regime at Hastings High School, with lx?w Lang's taking over Thursday as interim varsity coach after Ernie Strong left lhe position following 11 frustrating games which produced just a double overtime win at Charlotte. While we're right at home with Coach i^ng at the varsity helm, having cover cd practically every game he coached during his 17 year reign which ended in 1964. we've had great admiration for Coach Strong who was in his seventh season as lhe Sason varsity cage coach. Coach Strong didn't in­ herit a basketball power­ house but during his first four seasons al the helm, he had three winning years. His 1970 71 team posted one of the best basketball records in Hastings High's history. 163. and the district cham pionship won al Gull laikc. The Saxons finished second in the West Central that season behind St. Johns. St. Johns had the league's scor ing champion that year, I lean Eisler. In 1971 72 Coach Strong's record was 107 and the following season it was 12 10. The last season's weren't as productive. ('■ertainly no roach has worked harder or more de votedly than Coach Strong, and he is the kind of man with whom one would want his son lo lie associated. We're happy that Coach Strong will remain on the Hastings faculty and con linue a* coordinator of the driver training program. We hope Coach Strong will continue to lend his support to all local athletic programs. He has been a highly successful wrestling coach and was also an assi* lant football coach here. We almost forgot, too. that he has been a fine softball player and was on the cham pion*hip E.W. Bliss team which lieat Petoskey 2 1 on lathor Hay. 19457. ’ The entire Hastings school basket liall program is scheduled for n-evaluation. Coach l.angcame through with 13 winning basketball seasons over his 17-year lour, ami while he was no miuiclc worker, he seemed to get the most possible out of his players. Coach laing didn't sail through those compaigns without harrass inenl. either, particularly from parental sources, but that's part of the game. A person has to be dedi­ cated. or really need the money, to be a coach. As one administrator said. "We're behind the coach. Win or tie!" Speaking of money, the HHS head basketball job pays from 11.383 to 12.459. depending on the indivi­ dual's experience. Coach Strong's stipend was $2,282. Allen W. Bush of the Michigan High School Ath­ letic Association has an nounced the assignments to district wrestling tourna ments and Hastings and Delton will have their work cut out for them at the Marshall Class B tourney. Unbeaten Charlotte and Sturgis will be there along with Harper Creek which took second place in the 1976 Ixm- I jmb invitational here. Coach Dave Furrow's grapplers will go to the tournament with great strength, having taken fourth Salw.day in the Kiwanis West Invitational at Grand Rapids Union, with out the services of Brett Pittclkow and Eric Favorite who were injured Thursday. With those two. Coach Fur­ row figured his Saxons would have won the event,' upsetting Fremont which had only one champion. Hastings had two- Brad Bis­ hop and Matt Hauschild. Hastings will go to the Delton Invitational Satur day as lhe defending cham pion. • • • akewood and Caledonia l. wrestlers will compete in the Class B district at East Grand Rapids. Hastings Lose Overtime Thriller To Ionia, 62-59 Lewis l^ng returned as Hastings High's head bas­ ketball roach Friday night and almost guided the Saxons to an upset over visiting Ionia, but had to settle for an overtime de­ feat. 62 59. Coach Don Gorsuch's lonians won the West Cen­ tral clash at the free throw­ line. converting 20 out of 31 attempts. Hastings sank 5 out of 7. a very good average but averages just don't mean a thing. Ionia was called for just 7 personal fouls, while Hastings drew 27 and had three eagers foul out relatively early. Ionia sailed through the entire first half without be­ ing called for an infraction. Even so, the lads coming off lhe bench filled in com mendably and if the Saxons could have gotten the ball through the hoop, it would have been a different story. As it was. Hastings tallied 6 more field goals than did Ionia, sinking 27 out of 66 attempts to Ionia's 21 out of 55. Fred Groos took a fine pass from Armand Ran guette with 6 seconds re­ maining in regulation time to tic the score al 57 57 and send the game into user time. In the extra three minutes, Ionia sank 5 out of 6 free throws for the Bull­ dog's 5 points, while Hast­ ings sank a field goal one out of 4 attempts. Big Rob Kelin meshed Ionia's first two free throws in the overtime, then Pal McKeough stole the ball and tied lhe score with a layup. Eric Nichols put Ionia ahead, 60 59, with a gift then Hast Ings look lime out with 42 second* left. The Saxons worked the ball in bul couldn't get off a shot and lost it by traveling. Another foul gave Ionia two more points icing the game. Hastings started slowly, sinking just 4 out of 11 field goal attempts while Ionia drilled 6 out of 11 to grab a 158 first quarter lead.

No. 8 Barry to Seek *72,000 Accounting Firm Bankrupt After Check Bouncing Home Rehabilitation Grant Barry County is planning to apply foe a federal grant of 172.000 to rehabilitate 16 below standard homes in the county. The proposed application was presented Monday night at a public hearing before the Barry County Planning Commission. Kensinger Jones, who presented the proposal for the commission, said that the homes would be those belonging to elderly persona in the county whose incomes are below the poverty level. If the plan is accepted by the Federal Housing ano Urban Development Department, one house will be selected for repairs in each of the county’s 16 townships. Jones said that in addition to the 872,000 to be spent on the homes, the grant appli cation includes fund* to re Elbe county for a study of ung needs, and funds to pay for the administration of the program. HUD has allocated be­ tween 1160,000 and 1200,000 for communities in Barry and Calhoun Counties for Community Development Block Grants thia year. Jone* said. He said that the money is going to be spent somewhere, and Barry County Should submit a pro­ posal to try to get somo of It. Once the county gels ap­ proval fir a program, it becomes easier to get com­ munity development grants in future years. Jones said, [jut year, preference seem ed to go to proposals which had the goal of rehabilitating housing and adding t>ew housing, he reported. 'Die first step in tne application procedures is the submission of a "pre applica lion." Jones said. This cost* nothing, but the planning commission has put con siderablc work into prepara lion of the pre-application. If the pre application is approved, a study must be made and a final application submitted. Jones told the 20 or so people who come to the hearing. Most of the pro poaal* which reach thia stage are approved, he said. In Hairy County. 35 per­ cent of the folks aged 65 or over have incomes at or below the poverty level. Jones said. He estimated that there are nearly 300 houses in the county which would qualify for assistance under the proposed pro­ gram. Hr stressed that the pro posal is just for elderly Ople, living in single jy homes, who are on poverty level incomes. In a related proposal. the county will also apply for a smaller grant to finance a study of housing needs for lhe elderly in the county. Jones said. This study would show whether there is a need for apartment-type dwellings for the elderly in lhe county. Jones said that before the grant can be obtained, it must have agreement to participate from the town ship involved. Already, be said. 10 townships have agreed to participate. Ono of the hangups could bo the necessity for a local bousing code. Barry County has such a code. Jones said. Commission will appoint a Ove man committee to de­ ride which homes should be rehabilitated. and sec that the program is run properly. The recommendations for homes needing repairs will come from the township boards. Jones said III tile regular planning commission meeting foDow ed the bearing, the commis­ sion decided to meet with the Hastings City Hanning Commission on Feb. 2 to discuss the possibility of working together to gel an Economic Development Grant, to encourage Indus try to come to Barry County.

Kelley advised lhe state Public Service Commission that he supports the people of Hickory Corners in their effort lo get a rehearing on a 54% rale increase granted by thr PSC to the Hickory Telephone Company last November. Hickory Corners Tele phone rates are presently the highest tn Michigan with a monthly basic service charge of $16.115. Michigan Bell's customers, by com­ parison, pay $5.40 to $7.45 for this basic service. Kelley said: "When people are asked to pay extra­ ordinarily high telephone rates, some two to three times as high as others pay for the same bavx service, they have the right to ex pert that they will be given notice and a full and fair opportunity lo object before such rales arc approved They also have a right to expect that the PSC will conduct the most penelrat ing and thorough investiga tion possible by its most experienced staff people, that a complete hearing will lie held, and that extra ordinary rales will not be approved without lhe most complete justification. "I am convinced that this did not happen in this case. 1 do not feel the people of Hickory Corners have had their day in court." After lhe rate increase was granted on November 24. 1975. lhe Hickory Tele plume Subscribers' Commit tee said that 33% of thr telephone company's cus tomer* had discontinued MT vice in protest of the rate increase.

I hope the Commissioin will take another look at the situation." Kelley said. The Attorney General's Motion asked for a rehearing on thr following grounds: 1. Inadequate notice waa given about the telephone company's request for a rate increase 2. Only the telephone cum pany had legal counsel al the hearing on its request. 3. The proposed decision was mailed to only lhe telephone company. Rate payers did not have the opportunity to object. 4 Hie record did not contain sufficient evidence on w hich to determine a fair and reasonable rate of re turn, but the PSC authoriz ed a 12.75% return on common equity. 5.

FIRST SCHOOL)* The first school la the county was taught by Sarah Paul, al Middleville. In 1833. The people of that place built a log school house In 1836. The next school house was a frame building. They have now a neat brick strve ture with two rooms, two teachers, and one hundred and fifty scholars. The school has sent out fourteen successful school teachers, who received most of their instruction in that school. There was a »chool taught by Mis* T. Spaulding, in 1836 in her father's house, C.W. Spaulding, Esq. Mrs. Isaac Messer taught a school at Pine lake, in 1837. in Mr. Messer's house. A log school house was built in that neighborhood the same sea son. In 1839 there were two log school bouses built in Carlton. The first school in Hastings, was taught by Mrs. A.W. Bailey. (Miss McArthur), in 1839, in Mr. Bunker's bouse. There were six scholars. The flral school house was built in 1841. It was for some lime occupied a* a meeting house until after the present Union School building was erected, and is now used by J.W. Stebbins a* a cabinet shop. Miss T. Spaulding, (now Mr*. Henry Knappen) of Rirh'iad taught the first school in il. The front of lhe Unton School bouse was built in 1851 and the rear in 55. There are about two hundred and fifty scholars in the village between four and eighteen years of age. The school has three depart menu, with a Principal and two assislanta. The school numbers along ita pupil* a good number of qualified teachers. RELlGiUUS PRACTICES Some of lhe earliest rail gious exercises held in the county were at funerals. Mr. look was killed by the fall of a tree in Prairieville in 1837. Mrs. Henry Brawn died al Pine lake. (Orangeville; lhe ume year Her funeral was attended by Rev. Mr. Dobiny. now of Richland. A sen of Henry Leonard, aged 13 years died at Middleville, in August 1833. I suppose Mrs. Rush. Loren tn Cooly, and John DeGroot died in the summer of 1838. Rev. Calvin Clark, of Richland, preached .1 lhe funeral of Mr DeGroot. winch waa held in a log bouse where A.B. Cook lives. I suppose it was the first sermon preach ed in this part of the county. A Sunday School was commenced at Middleville, in 1835. or '36; The exercis­ es" say* C.G. HUI. Esq., "were reading the scrip­ tures. prayer, singing, and leaching our childen. which was continued with little interruption for several year*. When lhe settlement became more numerous, we obtained the weekly ser­ vices of Rev. Luther Good rich, formerly a Baptist minister near Auburn. N.Y., who had left the Baptists and joined the CampbeUiles. Mr. Goodrich remained there several years, and then returned to Auburn. Soon after be left, the Baptist church at Middle * tile was formed with about twelve members. It has now fifty. The Methodist class at Middleville, was formed in December. 1854, with ten or twelve members. Its present number is thirty. The Con­ gregational church at Mid­ dleville was first organized al Yankee Springs April 5th, 1846. with six to ton mem­ bers. There are now thirtyfour members. There are three ministers at Middle­ ville; a Baplirt. a Methodist, and a Congrtgallonal 1st. Rev. Mr. Kidder of lhe Congregational church waa ordained in June. 1838. by the Association of Michigan; Rev. T. Jones of Galesburg, preached the sermon, and Rev. Edmund Taylor, of Kalamazoo, addressed the candidate The Methodists have a good church edifice. Religious meeting* were held in the town of Prairie­ ville in the spring of 1836 at the house of Nicholas Camp bell, conducted by lhe Rev. Daniel Lawrence, a Ihrotes lant Methodist. About 1849 ' "50. a Presbyterian church .as formed at f*raineville. to which lhe Rev. Donald B. Campbell ministered foe a time. But tor about five yean past that church has had very little preaching, and scartely has an exist­ ence. There is a Methodist class and Congregational at that place, but I have receiv­ ed no replies to my inquiries respecting them. In November 1854. a Pres byterian church was args nixed at Hickory Corners, in the township of Barry, with about twelve member*. In that place too. there is a Methodist class and Congre­ gational and a small Metho­ dist meeting house. Rev. Smalley is the minister. Rev. Z.T.

Walt Forbes, a staff mem ber of the Southcentral Michigan Planning Council, presented a proposal from the Southcentral group to do an "Overall Economic De velopment Program" for Barry County. Al) costs of the program would be borne by the Southcentral Council, he said. After the county has such an economic develop ment program, political units within the county can apply for federal grants and loan* for economic develop ment. Forbes said. He gave several examples of projects which other Michigan cities, towns and counties have done under such programs, such as industrial park de velopment. plant expansion, and airport area develop ment. Jim Wiswell. chairman of the Hastings Planning Com mission, said the dty group has been interested in quail lying for such federal pro gram for some time, and would endorse Forbes' pro posal. Members of the coun ty planning commission, who were present for the join: meeting, also expressed their approval. Forbes said that the new step would be to get the approval of the county com missioners for the Southern tral Council to undertake the study. Then an economic development council would have to be appointed for the county, and it would do much of the work with the Southcentral agency. This county economic de velopment council, Forbes explained, would have to have a wide representation of such groups as govern ment, business, finance, agriculture, education, minorities, organized labor and unemployed and under employed persons He sug­ gested that the member* of both the city and county planning commissions start thinking of people to suggest for this council. If the commissioners sultant for the city, told the planners that any project might qualify for the federal assistance "if you can show that it creates new jobs.** Since 1965. Forbes said.

Barry County Historical Society Te the Editor: I read with interest the intemperate repbc* to a letter by Mr. Ritter, who works (or the local Depart ment of Social Service*. I might approve of hi* policy, if it wa* not for the nature of hi* work. Historically, hi* job was handled by voluntary chan lies, but now it is handled by tax eating bureaucracies like the D.S.S. and A.F.D.C.. Some might ask. what is the difference? The differ ence is that between dona tion and extortion, gift and theft, making lose and rape, in all cases, the former transaction ha* the consent of both parties, and in the latter transaction, the per son with the value Io offer has no choice. In what it euphemistically called “pub lie asaistance". Mr. Ritter proposes what, for some, may be an acceptable alter native: a mutual transaction, in which the donor still has no choice, but a value in terms of labor is asked from the receiver. The receiver has a choice, if he refuses, he will not be imprisoned or suffer governmental ex­ propriation of hi* property. The taxpayer who refuse* is seldom so fortunate, unless he is prepared for a long legal battle. At a taxpayer. I do not consider this an acceptable alternative. I rather see it as a violation of my rights under the Fifth Amendment of the Bdl of Right*, the taking "of private property for public use without just compensation " I do not con aider the offer not to im prison me. or not to seize my property, to be a just form of compensation. Ssncerely, Frederick G. Schantz Te the Editor: I would publicly like to thank five people who have served for at least a year and a half on the Lakewood Community Education Ad visory Council. They are: Fran Huettman. represent­ ing the Lake Odessa area and business people; Gret­ chen Zuiderveen. represent ing the Clarksville area and the community at large; Glendoa Curtit. represent ing the Woodland area and Village Councils; Joyce Boom, representing the Sun field area and the com munity al large, and Keith Heide, principal at Sunfield, representing the school ad­ ministrator*. The Council has fifteen community people appointed by the President of the Board of Education. Every six month* five people finish their year and a half term and five new community people replace them. I am always surprised at the high percentage of people who agree Io serve on the Coun­ cil. Often only six people are asked to get five to serve. The main purpose of the Advisory Council is to help improve the quality of life of Lakewood people to use community resources to meet community needs and to help Community Eduea tion be more responsive to community members. The Council was establish­ ed about two years ago by the takewood Hoard of Edu cation. The five new members are: Jim Farmrn. represent­ ing the community of Sun­ field and Village Councils; Lon Smith, representing the community of take Odessa and business people. Mariee Stambaugh, representing the Sunfield area and the community al large; Steve Storey. lYincipal at Clarks villc. representing school ad ministralors. and Pat Reser, representing the Clarksville area and the community at large.

R PH I am taking a cough medicine (Robituwtn) which contain* glyceryl guakolate. The manufacturer say* this ■ an expectorant. How does it work* - C.L. This medicine is absorbed into your bloodstream through your stomach and your smalt intestine. From there it goes into the lower area of your lungs where it causes an increase of phkgm This chemical is an effective expectorant with very few side effect*. Could you tell me what would happen If I look an overdose of potassium chloride? - M.A. Too much potassium chloride could cause a condition called hyperpotassemia. Symptoms of this condition include tiredness, mental confusion, numbness and tingling of the extremities, a cold gray pallor and heartbeat irregularities. Are aspirin, cough rrrdicine. mouth wash and deodorant* tax deductible medical expense*? - M.C. The first two are. the second two are not. That's why you need itemized medical receipts to substantiate your purchases in a pharmacy. What causes s hangover? - C.L. Latest thinking on this "day after” feeling is that It's caused by methanol - that's right - wood alcohol. Findings by researcher* at the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism indicate that drinking leads to an accumulation of wood akohol which persist* after the drinking stops. Do antacids contain potent drugs? - D.L. The chemicals in antacids are not potent in thernsebes. But they are potentially dangerous. For eample, some antacids contain high amounts of sodium. If you are restricted to a low salt diet, this could be dangerous. Can you expbin stonpiy why two drug* should never be mixed without a doctor's approval1 - S.E. Let's say drug A changes some of your body chemistry in order to do its work When you take drug B, it may not work as expected because of the change in your body chemistry due to drug A. Drug R may act stronger, weaker, differently, or not at all. Don't risk it on your own judgment. Couple Finds History In Sheet Music "They are more than just entertainment, they are also •octal and political commen taries. They are like Little Orphan Annie. Dick Tracy. Doonsbury. with a fro» t< > vision commercials, Jack Anderson and speeches by politicians thrown in for good measure." This la the romment of Elmer White of Okemos, sc-retary manager of the Michigan Pres* Association, a* be look* through the stack of more than a hun­ dred pieces ot old sheet musk his wife Betty rescued from oblivion in the city dump. Betty, ooe of those active beautiful people, always willing to offer help, had volunteered to assist an older neighbor who was packing a life time of aceumulatioe* in preparation tor a move, noticed a stack of old sheet music which the householder had put aside to be thrown away. When Betty expressed in­ terest in the old pieces, they were prsented to her and she joyfully lugged them home with somewhat the same feeling of exuberance and discovery a small boy might experience upon ha* ing come upon some valu­ able treasure that had been carelessly discarded by an un feeling adult. That evening, a* the Whites read through the title* of their bonanza, they were delighted The old cliche, 'one man's trash is another man's treasure' is so true." Mr*. While say*. “We realized that while the music might not be of great com merciai value, it does pre sent an interesting view point on a part of his lory ar.d as such should be preserved for future genera tion*." Betty said. With this in mind, the Wnites have donated their find to the Michigan State University Library. Hetty and Elmer have tittle idea as to the dale of publication of the oldest pieces in their library. Some of them are not even dated. They do appear, how ever, to date from the very early 1900's. The latest dated piece* in the collection arc war song* from 1943. one illustrated with a lithograph ed photo of a youthful Frank Sinatra. From the very beginning of the art of song; men have attempted to influence. In­ form and enlighten as well a* entertain with lyrical offering*. The While'* new found library of music is evidence of the influence exercised on society and culture through music and poetry combined. World War 1 brought a rash of patriotic song* ad monishing young men to join the Army and fight and girls and mothers to wait patient­ ly foe the boy* to come home. At least two World War II song* are in the collection. "Please God Bring Peace to the U.S.A.” was published in 1943. and was written by Mary Ellen Evoretl of Lansing. There’ll Be a Hot Time in the 1 own of Berlin When the Yanks Go Marching In.” published in 1943 has a picture of a very young Frank Sinatra on the cover. World War I is represent ed by several title*. "“My Red Cross Girlie ■ The Wound i» Somewhere in My Heart." published in 1917. and "When 1 Send You a I’icturc of Berlin ■ You'll Know It's Over Over There, I’m Cominr Home." publish ed in 1918. were inspired by the conflict in Europe. "Lib­ erty Bell (It's Time to Ring Again) ". 25c: 1917. has somewhat of a Bicentennial theme. The lyrics read: "We're in the same kind of fix. We were in seventy six. And We're ready to rally round you." In addition to "Over There" and "Grand Old Rag.” George M Cohan turned out an opus entitled, "When You Come Back And You Will Come Back. There's A Whole World Waiting For You. Though Duty Calls It's Hard to Say Goodbye- and "Il's Time For Every Boy to Be A Soldier." were written in 1917. In­ cluded in the collection is an Al Joi son song entitled “So Long Mother. There's a red Bordered Hag in the Win­ dow - Do Your Bit ■ Buy Bonds.” was published in 1917. Just Like Washington Croerad the Delaware ■ Gen­ eral Pershing Will Cross the RhiM." is s complete song la Elmer and Betty White shew off a few of the piece* «f old sheet music la their coUertioo.-Photo by John Boughton, just the title. Mr. White explains. "Till e» are long by today's stan­ dard* but they are simply, patriotic and confident." An example of one the more elegant title* is a song published in 1917: If You Don't like President Wilson (Ypu Knife The land That Feeds Us AU). Part of the chorus reads: "If you don't like President Wilson. And you sneer al the things he has met. What have you done for the freedom we've won. Except to take all you can get? II you don't like the looks of Old Glory. If your heart doesn't feet duty's call. Than you're worse than the cur in the story. You'll knife the land that feeds us all.” Many of the songs were intended to get a tear or two out of the listeners. If I'm Not al the Holl Call Kias Mother Good by Foe Me. is a poignant story of a brave young l»y going into a fierce battle. Just as hr is about to charge out of the trenches, be turns to his buddy and says, "If 1 am not al roll call after the fight is done. Won't you be kind tn my mother, Ju*t fur her soldier son." Il is a real tear jerker. Social and political trends other than war show up in the music, however. One of the earliest pieces in the collection Is copyrighted in 1909 and the title is. “Wail Till You Get Them Up In the Air. Boys." a commentary on the new fangird airplane. The lyrics explain that some­ times a boy takes a girl tor an auto ride and starts mushy talk and if the girl doesn't like it. ahe gels out and starts to walk. The song goes on to say. II you get them in a plane and up in the air. You can make them hug and kiss you. For if they don't you can just say. We won't come down till you do.” The song ends with. “You can loop the loop till she ean hardly get her breath, it ain't hard to reason with a girl who's scant) to death." This song rould drive an FAA inspec tor banana.*. "Sippin' Cider Through a Straw." published in 1914, was dedicated to Fatty Ar­ buckle. an early movie come dian. The lyric*, intended to be sung with a lisp, tell of how the boy and girl would sip cider through a straw. “I thipped firtht and she thipped latht. But she thipped mot hl because she thipped fatht. We thipped till our thlraw did thlip. And 1 thipped thider from her Up. That's how 1 won my mother in law, Thipping thider thru a big long thtraw." Titles of the post WWI songs go from the patriotic to themes of love and humor, “tauisville Lou (That Vam­ pin' lady). is a racey piece of music and the blurb on the cover says it was introduced by the slim, young girl pictured. Miss Sophie Tuck­ er. It was published in 1923. Louisville Lou is a scanda lous vamp and unless one has been vamped by her, he just doesn't know the mean ing of the word “She's the most heart breakineat, Shimmy shakinest that the world ever knew. And no more conscience than a snake has hips. All the men art intrigued by Lou. So Brothers, Here's my warnin' to you. Keep away from Louisville Lou. One song la entitled, "Mama Goes Where Papa Goes (Or Papa Doot Go Out Tonight). A love song published In 1928. That's What I Call A Pal.” has a picture of a young man looking out the window at a couple walking off into the sunset. It ends with the words. "I wish you luck with my sweetheart. And 111 tell exh fellow and gal. You can always depend. Ill count you as a friend, But I Won't count you ax a pal.” Among the more interest­ ing songs in the acquisition are several dedicated to the Ku Klax Klan, expressing Klan poltkal and social philosophy. One of them, published by the 100% Pub­ lishing Company of Hills­ dale. Michigan, ha* the reas suring title There is a Ku Klux Klan (We Trusted God and He Gave Us This Song. This beauty has music by Marie Koons and word* by Ernest Koon*, names that ■ comedy writer for the Ar­ chie Bunker show couldn't have dreamed up. The cover illustration shows hundreds of men in white robes and dunce-type hat* of the Klan, standing around a country school house which ia flying a big American flag. The chorus. "So Americans get busy. Rally round the fircy cross, for we're going to show the Aliens in our Nation who ia boss. We will guide them and well teach them, in schools we hive the best. If they don't tike out system, then good night you know the rest." The last of the seven verses reads: There's a great election coming. And the Klansmcn will be there; Their mighty mystic ballot. Will make it safe and fair. So you crooked politicians. This is what we think. You have fooled us for the last lime, You're so rotten that you stink." Elmer, with his back­ ground in journalism and his several years of close asso­ ciation with printers, is im­ pressed with the quality of the color reproductions on the covers of many of the Most of the music ha* promotion* for other song, for sale by the same publish er. The bark rover often has just a few bars of another song, just enough to what the appetite of the prospec­ tive buyer with the tag line. "For Sale Where* er Music is Sold."

Sunlight ia particularly important to poinsettia, particularly when the plant to in bloom, and wil stay in flower longer -often up to three months - if given proper lighting. No lest than an eastern or southern exposure will do and keep the plant as dose to the light source as possible. If you have a very bright window til) facing east or south, this can be idea) for poinsettia, but do be sure there are no drafts of cold air coming in through the panes. These plants can be irreparably damaged by cold and need an even warm temperature to do well. They were brought to this country by a man named Poinsett from Taxo, Mexico, where the air is quite warm throughout the year, and the hybrids we now enjoy were originally cultivated in warm, humid greenhouses. The polnsettias we buy today have been bred to be hardier and don't require greenhouse conditions Io grow well, but they are particular about lots of light and a nice cozy temperature. They also like moisture. Keep the plant well watered without making the sod swampy. When the topsod is dry to the touch, water thoroughly so that the excess drains away at the bottom of the pot. Also, mist your poinsettia plant at least every other day, daily if you can remember. When this plant ceases flowering, it drops all of its colorful bracts and wait Some people prefer to limply discard it at this time, but you can keep it on and anticipate full flowering next season. Care for it as described above until the beginning of next October when mght sed 10 ful hours of full sun each day to make it bloom.

I grow my way through winter. One ares of my growth to in knowledge of plants. Last winter 1 studied perennials and chose now ones that would feed the famJy, the bees, snd the birds. By spring. I'd chosen several new ones for the yard. This year, my topic to flowering bushes, vines, and trees. No farm or lawn to complete without tbo spring bloom and summer fruit of these. No dtot is complete without the jams, jeflios. and pies made from tbeoe fruits. If you don’t have any of those shrubs, vines, and trees, now to a good time to read about them and choose one or two to plant next spring, tf you do have a few, then now to the best time to learn how to propagate them and care for them. For example. I’ve discovered several red grape vines on our old farm. Since they are on the ground rather than an arbor, their production is very limited. My first text for bringing those vines up on an arbor to a free USDA booklet "Growing American Bunch Grapes" (Farmers' BuBetin No. 2123). This buBetin to one of thousands avakabie for a post card to The Office of Information. U.S. Department of Agriculture. Wash,, D.C. 20250. Ask for their catalog. It's a good W inch thick.

That choice wfll require more study of books such as The Baeic Book of Organic Gardening edited by Robert Rodale la BaBantine paperback. 1.25) or a trip to see whet the local library has to offer. Christmas brought me a 7-pago bulletin "Hedges of food-bearing bushes Er trees" by Mary Jane Kntooly. It describes a number of bushes that will make good decorative windbreaks or hedges at your property bne whBe giving you some privacy from the rood, pleasant spring blooms, and tasty summer fruit What could be more practical and beautiful? She mentions trees, too. One of them, the May Day tree, to a small earty blooming tree with dark dusters of berries for jams. Tho white flowers remind me of lilacs but bloom eerftor. That to why 1 planted two of them last spring. They are sturdy little trees and had a few blooms within a couple weeks of their planting. if you'd fake this buBetin you can send for BuBetin B 2 (50c) from Garden Way Pubkeh ing. Charlotte. Ver. 05445 Their catalog lists many interesting buBetins and books for gardeners or small farmers. But don’t ever settle for one source of information. Your neighbora and tho local garden dub can teach you o lot about what wifi grow where you live, what looks good and tastes greet. Indeed, you may even gel plants from them. Perennials and some of tire fruit bushes do need to be thinned every third spring and plant trading among neigh bore to an old country custom that to stiB quite healthy. Also, it may take several books and conversations to find out that a certain fruit is only sweet when it to fully ripe. If you stopped at the first book or conversation You might taste a half-ripe berry, find It sour, and figure you been misled by al those people who said It was good. When you tire of shoveing snow, pick a topic, and seek the sources of information that suit you. and you! be prepared to put next apr-.g to good uae.

Music and a Scottish heritage. two of the most color­ ful aspects of campus life at Alma College, will be the principal ingredients of an impressive program to be presented at Whiting Audi tonum tn Flint oo Friday, Feb 6. The college's A Cappella Choir, Kiltie Band and danc ing Kiltie Lassies, which will be featured in Alma College in Concert at Flint, have provided entertaining pro­ grams in Michigan and on tours throughout the coun try for many years On stage with these groups in the Flint perfor mar.ee will be three from the Hastings area They are: Stephen E. Hoke. Alma freshman who plays In the Klltie Band and is a resident of Hastings, Kendra 8. John cock of Shelbyville, who is a senior al Alma and playa in the Kiltie Band, and Alma senior Kevin D. Pufpaff of Nashville who sings in the A Cappella Choir. The approximately 150 Alma student musicians who wOl participate in the Flint program have helped to establish Alma's reputation for musical excellence. And these Alma groups, the Kil­ tie Bind snd Lassies in particular, have helped te develop the college's Scot ttoh traditions. Alma's athletic teams, first called Presbyterians or the Maroon and Cream, be came known as the Scots in the 1930's. Shortly there after the college band ac quirrd uniforms featuring kills, and in the 1950's a group of coeds established the Kiltie I-asales to provide entertainment with their Scottish dances al campus events. Most midMichigan rest dents are acquainted with the city of Alma's annual Highland Festival, a gala event that attracts thou­ sands to the community. But several do not realize that the festival had its origin just eight yean ago when a few alumni of the college proposed that a yearly gathering of the clans be held cm the campus The Scottish heritage, which the college has passed along to the community of Alma, will be reflected in the Flint program through the performance of several Highland dances by mem bers of the Kiltie Lassies. Accompanied by a piper, the Alma girts will do typical Scottish dances such as the Highland Fling. Sword Dance and Sheen Trews. The Kiltie Band and the Alma A Cappella Choir will present the major portion of the Flint program. The two groups will perform indivi­ dually and then will combine in a concluding segment of the concert. Tickets for Alma College in Concert are available at Presbyterian churches in the Flint area and at Whit ing Auditorium. ,n>ut/r<rii/u lu Red Cross Involved In Many Programs by MARY WILLISON Mary Hoogeriand Red Crows Executive Director Ph. 945-3122 I Emergency 795-94961 Nelson R.

S.C By VICTOR SISSON Had you noticed that this being Leap Year, of court* this month of February fell heir to an extra day. But even so. it is still the shortest month of th* year. The odd thing about it is that even with only 29 days we have five Sunday*, the first and last day* falling in that category. This has not happened for a good many year* and will not happen again in this century. The Ireroy Fletaner family enjoyed skiing Saturday at Caberfae near Cadillac. They report the attendance was large in spite of the weather and all of the many hill* were very much in use. All had a good time and returned home with all bones intact.

He has not been well for some time and was taken there Saturday evening. He is being given various checks to ascertain just what has him down. His host of fnends hop* h* will soon be back home feeling fine. Nearly everyone we talk ed to Monday reported at least one case of someone being stuck in the snow.

Think you're having a hard time? Cold. anow. blocked road*, gelling you down? One woman told me Monday: The road past their house was worked on this past year and is too narrow for car* to meet safely; deep ditch on both sides of road; this road is usually one of the last in the township to be plowed out after a snow storm; husband, who works in Lansing, has to leave the car parked on the corner quite a distance from the house so he can gel to work; school bus can't gel down that road so the younger children of the family can't gel to school, and the mail­ man can't gel through to bring them their mail; they cook with gas and also use gas for a little extra heat if needed. And it just would be that lhe gaa supply played out Saturday. A new supply has been ordered, is paid for. but can't be delivered until the road is plowed out. An electric skillet is the only means of cooking food for the family of five in this emergency. The two young er daughters prepared a liberal supply of macaroni and cheese in the skillet Saturday evening. That sup­ plied supper and from what was left a ca**erole was made for Sundsy dinner. Pork and beans from the family larder, prepared in the skillet, supplied another meal; Dad stirred up pan cakes and they were fried in the skillet f.w Monday's breakfast; and as this is being written on Monday afternoon, the girls have a nice steak Ln the skillet in preparation for tonlght'a ■”nT. hard luck story just to show what Ingenuity ran do when "necessity becomes the mother of invention."

The business meeting waa called to order by the presl dent, Mrs. William Curtis. To observe the local bi­ centennial momenta of nos­ talgia Rknard Cook gave a brief biographical sketch of Ida Wood, a Hasting* cateress of outstanding ability and artistry. She resisted offers to move to a larger area preferring to employ her skills for lhe benefit of local hostesses. So much in demand was the that her services had to be arranged for well in ad­ vance. without her'there wouldn't be a party and even wedding dates had to be fitted into her schedule. Those present who re member Mr*. Wood appr* dated this tribute to such a fine person. Donations to the annual Club projects were approv­ ed. to be paid at this lime: local campshipa, Girlstown.

Meanwhile, dress manufacturers use this product as a matter of course to save time and MODERN WOODMEN OF AMERICA big batch 'Paa/u'ok J ° 'Parried Perhaps you've been confused on how to select the right type of interfering compatible with your fabric, and where and how to use it. Use lhe nonwoven interfacing, which has "gkra." in the crosswise direction and stability lengthwise. It's available in two weights. The lighter weight works well with jerseys, sweater knits and lightweight woven fabric. Suit weight at companionable with medium-weight woven) and doubleknits. The first provides gentle control: the second u greater measure of reinforcement with a soft, natural look. Interfacing should always be lighter In weight than the fashion fabric. It is oftan assumed that interfacing is used only in fall and winter clothing, but it is needed just as much in spring and summer fashions. For example, in the jacket and pants Hluitrated, interfacing gives body and shape to the collar, pockets; supports zipper and waistband. The jacket and pants by Simplicity are so weH designed they can be worn by women sizes 10 to 20. 40, 42. 44 and 46. which is quite unusual. Iron-on interfacing is the secret crispnea and professionally finished look. In preparation for using this sewing aid. test-fuse a piece to a swatch of fabric before applying it to the garment. Place it coated side down on the wrong side of the fabric. Cover with a damp doth. With the steam iron on the "wool" setting, apply steam and pressure for 10 seconds. Don't slide eon back and forth. Use the pressing method. Turn the fabric over and repeat the fusing process for another 10 seconds. Allow fabric to cool. Test adhesion by trying to lift open edge of interfacing. If necessary, steam press for an additional five to 10 seconds on each side. ILLUSTRATION Simplicity No. 7347- Misses* and women's unlined jacket and pants.

Put a few pots of water near the plant grouping and. if heaimg duett are to be lets open, definitely pul pans of water near these sources of hot dry air.

Sharpe explained that lhe hearings outstaie had been scheduled to learn what the people thought of the pending legislation, and cited a Detroit Free Pres* editorial condemning plans for the hearings here, in Charlotte and elsewhere. A Free Press editorial declared that plan? to hold long and repetitive learnings on the bill were designed to open the bill up to destruc­ tive amendments and delays that could effectively "side track any legislation in lhe foreseeable future."

Sharpe explained that the hearings outstate had been scheduled to learn what the people thought of the pending legislation, and cited a Detroit Free Pres* editorial condemning plans for the hearings here, in Charlotte and elsewhere. A Free Press editorial declared that plans to hold long and repetitive learnings oo the bdl were designed to open the bill up to destruc­ tive amendments and delays that could effectively "side track any legislation in the foreseeable future." Sharpe said the Hartings and Charlotte hearings would be held, but he wasn't certain what would happen after that. At the Charlotte hearing Saturday, a Banner observer said the sentiment was very similar to that found in Hastings: over whelming opposition to the land use legislation The preamble of the bill slates it Is designed to 'create a state land use commission and to prescribe A 1973 Oldsmobue owned by Carl Buslck Jr. of Battle Creek went through the ice at a boat landing off M 43 its powers and duties; to provide for local land use plans and a state land use program: to provide lor the designation of essential land area* and to provide for the regulation of certain land tain councils; to prescribe duties of the department of natural resources and other state and local agencies. The bill would establish a commission of nine appoint ed by the governor to serve for four year terms with al least two from the and at least two from the southern Lower Peninsula with no more than five from the same political party.

You can tee what you're looking for without dumping the whole bag. 2. For cooking, the flavor is the same and the cost is less so why not use a combination of nonfat milk and canned evaporated milk? You can make skim milk from nonfat dry milk at haf the cost. 3. Those small, individual packages of presugared cereals are the most e»pensive way to get grain in your diet They cost at least tan times more than home-cooked cereals, which cost less than ready-to eat varieties no matter huw they're packaged 4. Take advantage of specials on green onions, green peppers, parsley and onions Cut or slice, place on a cookie sheet in the freezer. Once frozen, store in an airtight container in the freezer. 5.

Delton Fire Chief Lynn Supervisor Opposes State Land Use Plan Prairieville Township Supervisor Joel Welty has written Slate Represent! live Philip O. Mastin Jr. regarding lhe proposed land Use Bill for Michigan Supervisor Welty made lhe letter available to The Banner. The letter follows: Dear Mr. Mastin: Thank you for the oppor tunity to hear about your proposed land Use Bill at lhe recent hearing held in Hastings. I found it most useful and informative. Our Barry County ha* had a good zoning ordinance and is presently conducting hearings on a strengthened ordinance. Our Prairieville Township has been working for the past year on its own zoning and planning ordin ance, which we hope to enact within a few month*. These plant and ord-nsnee* have been carefully tailor .‘3 to the specific needs of our people: no one outside our local area could possibly develop plant and policies as good as these are for us. I have read your proposed land use planning act 4234 over and over to judge it* impact on our county and our township. The more I read it, the more I am convinced that our own good ordinances and plan* would be preempted and over riden by your bill. Decision* which should be made in the county and in th** township would be made willy nilly in landng. according to no lion* of people who do not know our problem* and who have no understanding of our needs. We cannot accept this ill informed intrusion by the State into local matter*. 1 a*k that you amend your bill so that it would not apply to counties or town ship* which have passed (or will pass) zoning ordinances. Government by lhe con sent of the governed must be preserved; if you do not give exemption from your bill to counties and town­ ships with zoning ordinanc e*. you will be tearing down what we have achieved. And without the consent of lhe people, it is unlikely you would be able to impose a sensible land use plan from lansing. Thus, your bill may create such resentment and turmoil that we will not have any effective zoning whatso ever. We do not want the kind of chaos that situation would allow. Sincerely. Joel Welty Firemen made a "good stop" on the blaze, but there damage. Firemen ed.

Delton Fire Chief Lynn Supervisor Opposes State Land Use Plan Prairieville Township Supervisor Joel Welty has written Slate Represent! live Philip O. Mastin Jr. regarding the proposed land Use Bill far Michigan Supervisor Welty made the letter available to The Banner. The letter follows: Dear Mr. Mastin: Thank you for the oppor tunlty to hear about your proposed land Use Bill at the recent hearing held in Hastings. I found it most useful and informative. Our Barry County ha* had a good zoning ordinance and is presently conducting hearings on a strengthened ordinance. Our Prairieville Township has been working for the past year on its own zoning and planning ordin ancc. which we hope to enact within a few month*. These plant and ord-r.snces have been carefully tailor .'3 to the specific needs of our people: no ore outside our local area could possibly develop plant and policies as good a* these are for us. I have read your proposed land use planning act 4234 over and over to judge it* impact on our county and our township. The more I read it, the more I am convinced that our own good ordinances and plan* would be preempted and over riden by your bill. Decision* which should be made in the county and in th** township would be made willy niliy in (anting, according to no lion* of people who do not know our problem* and who have no understanding of our needs. We cannot accept this ill informed intrusion by the State into local matters. 1 a*k that you amend your bill so that it would not apply to counties or town ship* which have pa*sed (or will pass) zoning ordinances. Government by the con sent of the governed must be preserved; if you do not give exemption from your bill to counties and town ships with zoning ordinanr c*. you will be tearing down what we have achieved. And without the consent of the people, it is unlikely you would be able to impose a sensible land use plan from lan*ing. Thus, your bill may create such resentment and turmoil that we will not have any effective zoning whatso ever. We do not want the kind of chaos that situation would allow. Sincerely. Joel Welty Firemen made a "good stop" on the blaze, but there damage. Firemen ed.

Previous ly the group F id been using ground generators to In crea»e rainfall. During 1976 they plan to hire an airplane to seed clouds. With the use of an airplane the crystals are shot into the clouds directly. WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE FOR AN INCH OF RAIN? How many times could you have made a good crop if you had received an add! tional Inch of rainfall at a critical lime, but harvested a short crop because the rain didn't come? All farmers have had this experience and know that timing is a key factor in utilisation of rainfall. Weather modification, such a* the cloud seeding projects, involves efforts lo provide this extra bit of r«in when needed. The aim is lo "normalize" the rainfall; not to create damaging down pour*.

That's a hard question lo pin down, because there are so many variables in growing crops and pasture other than pre­ cipitation. Nevertheless, Merlin C. Williams, director of the South Dakota Weath­ er control commission, ha* •ent ot a e-*py of a prelim! nary report that indicates a benefit to cost ratio as high as $20 for a dollar spent on weather modification. Mr. Williams calls the report rehminary because not all variables have been analyz­ ed. Even cutting the estimat e* in half, it still leave* a benefit to coat ratio of 110 to $1. which is not a bad return on the investment in cloud seeding Statewide figures may not have a direct application on your farm, but you can figure out how many acres you have, and ho*, many bushels or pounds more production another good rain next summer might yield The group plan lo meet Thursday.

Any motorist itemizing deductions on 1975 federal income lax forms is entitled to list certain auto related expenses, according lo Auto, mobile Club of Michigan A comprehensive guide detailing those expenses, en­ titled "Automobile Income Tax Deductions," has been prepared by AAA. It lists and explains allowable per­ sonal and business related deductions such as stsle gasoline taxes, depreciation and accidental losses not covered by insurance. The extent of federal in­ come tax deduction* allowed a motorist depends upon whether vehicle use is per sons) or buxine** related. Automobile deductions al lowed even if the car is not used for business are: The cost of operating an automobile in connection with charitable activities or medical activities, such as driving to a doctor's office. Such deductions arc subject lo the "in excess of three percent" rule for medical deductions. -Slate gasoline taxes paid, which amount to nine cent* per gallon in Michigan. -Interest on money bor­ rowed on the security of an automobile. ■ Interest on gasoline credit card statements. -Losses from fire, acri dent, storm or theft not compensated for by insur­ ance or otherwise. The first $100 of each fire, theft or casualty is not deductible. Damages are not deductible if they result from the taxpayer's willful act or willful negligence. Auto Club members may obtain copies of the tax guide bookie' from any AAA office in Michigan. Others will find two IRS publics tions helpful: "Deprecia­ tion."

The City of Hastings, Cas­ tleton. Thornapple. Maple Grove and Castleton Town­ ship were already under the program. This means, said Acting Federal Insurance Adminis tralor. J. Robert Hunter that individual property owner* here are now eligible to buy flood insurance pn> lection at affordable feder­ ally subsidized rales, offer­ ing more extensive coverage under the expanded pro­ gram authorized by the 1973 Flood Disaster Protection Act. "We think the new, ex­ panded National Flood In­ surance Program offers the best way of protecting pro­ perty owner* from the rav­ age* of floods, while ea»ing the burden on the general public." he said. "Since flood insurance is now available." he added "the law require* that it must be purchased by own ers of property in area: identified a* flood prone by HUD. ia order to be eligibk foe virtually all form* ol Federal or federally rrlateC financial assistance for build ing purposes in those areas. "This would include FHA or VA mortgages, loans from the Smail Business Administration, or loans from any federally regulated or supervised banks and savings and loan inslitu lions." . While flood nsurancr is available to all residents of the community. Hunter em­ phasizes! that the Federal economic sanctions against building assistance will not apply to property outside the danger zone*. Under the expanded pro­ gram. broader coverage can be obtained for all buildings and their content*. The limit of insurance for single­ family homes is now $35,000. and $100,000 for other resi­ dential and nonresidentia) buildings, al the subsidized nite of 25 cents per $100 of coverage. The rale goes to 40 rents per/1100 for non residential buildings. The contents of all resi­ dential building* can be in sured up lo $10,000 per unit al 35 cents per $100 of coverage, and the rate goes to 75 rent* per $100 for the contents of all nonresidentia! structures up lo a maximum of $100,000 in coverage per unit. Policies are effective im mediately during the first 30 day* the insurance become* available. After the first 30 days, there is a 15day waiting period. The policies can be pur chased from any licensed local property insurance agent or broker. The Insur ance Company of North America Buhl Kdg. - Room 300. Griswold and Congress Streets. Detroit.

Agents and broken may obtain policy forms, rales, flood insurance manual*, and any other necessary information from this company. The F1A. Hunter explain­ ed, is in the process of publishing map* showing the special flood hazard areas in approximately 20.000 communities across the country. He congrstu laled the local governing body here for taking action before the July 1. 1975 deadline Imposed under the Act for enrolling in the program. The program is designed to stimulate individual par tkipatiou in it as protection against natural disasters, and lo help promote sound flood plain management on the part of local governing authorities. In becoming eligible under the program, a community must submit an application in which It certifies that it haa adopted certain mini­ mum flood plain manage­ ment measure* for the floodprone arena of that commu­ nity whieh conform with Federal requirement*.

Government Influence Is Hurting State’s Farm Operations "Michigan's farm industry is becoming more and more like a public utility which ia poorly regulated by state agencies." said a Michigan Stale University labor and industrial relation* special ist. speaking at the Great Lakes Vegetable Convention in Lansing. “Il seems to me that farmers and their friends have got to educate the legislators and the slate regulatory agencies that farming i* not like General Motors," says Dr. Daniel H. Kruger. "Management problem* of GM arc entirely different from those of farmer* and farmers have to contend with unconlroilabte, factor* of weather and natural dis­ asters. They had more than their share last year." he said. "We have got to get over the concept that it is possi ble to operate a farm like a public utility and expect to feed the people of Michigan, the people of our country and people throughout '.he .orid,’ he add. In 1964. there were 93.000 farm* in Michigan but by 1970, ie»* than 78.000. Culli ...

"Total cash receipt* for farming have Increaaed-in W41 Parker — 1974 waa 11.7 billion-bu. net You did a SUPER jobl farm income continue* lo The Pickle Parlor Gang dedir-e. Il to not profitable being a fanner." Kruger Mid. A major force helping influence agriculture to tech nology. some of which has evolved, in part, beciuse of labor problems. "There has been, and will be. a continu ous substitution of mechani cal muscle for the muscle of human beings,'* Kruger says. He partly attributes in­ creased use of harvesting machinery, such as the cherry picker and cucumber harvester, lo labor regula lion* and increasing labor cost*. "It is true these pieces of equipment are expensive, but the mechanical picker docs not take the farmer to court. "If we could figure out a way lo wort together in stead ol having all the confrontations we've had. perhaps Michigan farmers would not continue this pur suit of mechanical substitu­ tion.” Kruger say*. There are high costs of fertilizer, energy, double digit inflation and high wage coils. "One explanation for high wage cu*U to the in­ fluence of the automobile industry' in which the high est wages tn the country are paid. Their »pi3over effect influences agriculture wage*. The farmer ha* to cope with higher wage* which are more difficult to afford in the lace of his market returns and other cMta." Kruger say*. "A third factor ha* been in legislation which ha* placed restrictions on farmer* which have added lo the costs of farm operations. These include workmen's compensation, minimum wage*. Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHAIlaws which affect the ability of Michigan fanners to com pete with other markets." Kruger says. "When we talk about these law s. we must under­ stand that Michigan to not an island. Our product* com­ pete in a national market and in many of those states with which we compete, farm wage levels and bene­ fit* for labor are lower than in Michigan." Kruger aaya. A fourth factor influenc­ ing farm production to spec­ ial interest groups. “I want farm workers to have all the rights that other Americans have. I want workers to be protected like workers in nonagricultural employ ment. But farmer* and growers are being used more frequently. A way must be found to resolve differences without resort­ ing lo court*." he say*. The numbers of unem­ ployed in Michigan will re main higher for the re*t of this decade and into the 1960s. "In concert with agri­ culture. industry, business, the unions and special in­ terest groups, we have 'o expand job opportunities for those unemployed and those entering the job market. But don't expect agriculture to do It alone and survive," Kruger Mys. "We have to educate the legislature and ourselves to the tremendous problem of Ci creation in this state. We ve to sort out where the employment possibilities lie in industry, agriculture. tourism and in the service*. Each sector must lx- analyz ed separately and appro priale step* taken lo create a climate conducive to job growth." Kruger concludes.

February 25. 1976 Council Approves Plan To Meet State Street Code A program to improve Halting*' major street sys­ tem to meet Bute Highway requirements by 1979 was approved by the eity council at the regular meeting held Monday night. Feb. 23. Director of Public Ser vices Mike Klovanieh's recommendations are being submitted this week. Failure to submit a plan or to demonstrate progress by March 1 could result in reclassification of major streets with a subsequent loss of revenue. Hastings is asking for an exception to permit diagonal Cking on Stale Street ween Church Street and Michigan Avenue ‘Many merchants and coo remed ritisens believe that this type of parking should be allowed to continue tn our downtown area." Klovanich wrote. Stale Street is 68 feet wide, but diagonal parking b not permitted under the slate criteria Under state require menls. parallel parking is permitted on one side of the 29 foot street, but for new construction the minimum is 32 feet with 36 feet desir able. No parking minimum is 26 feet, with no parking desirable on a 30 foot street. For parallel parking on both sides the minimum permitted is 40 feet, with 48 more desirable. Hastings has nixie streets which do not now conform to the requirement*. These are the curbed major streets where parking is allowed and the street width is 28 feet or leas or a street where diagonal parking is allowed. The "upg;ading" time table is to apply for stale and federal grant for 1976-77 for new signs; In 1977-78 purchase signs from the grant and begin installation, and in 1978-79 complete "signing* which will remove parking from major streets 28 feet and less tn width. Streets not now conform ing include: Cass from Green to Clinton. Court from Han over to Stale; Grand from Market to Ilroadway and Stale to Church; Hanover from High to Slate Road; Jefferson from Green to Shrinrr; Market from State to Clinton; Mill from Michi tn Butler Creek; State Road from Broadwa* to Wilson; Slate Street from Church to Michigan and from Montgomery to Center Road. Mayor Ivan Snyder read the resignation of Floyd Craig as a member of the Board of Review. The resig­ nation. due to lllnesa, was accepted "with regret" and th* councilmen unanimously approved a resolution of appreciation for Craig's con­ tribution to th* community and for a “job well done " Mayor Snydtr's appoint­ ment of Russell I. Doty of 815 W. Walnut to complete Craig's three year term was approved unanimously. Doty was elected assessor from the First and Fourth Wards in >965. succeeding Walter Wallace, and he serv­ ed on th* Board of Supervi­ sors. He also served briefly as Barry County abstractor. Aldermen approved the recommendations of the Youth Council naming Mrs Ethel Groo*. Dr. Larry Haw kins and Mrs. Jan Jacobs to three year terms on the YC board, and Richard Foster to a two year term succeeding Art Fredenburg. who re­ signed. Aidermen received notice that rail service on the Penn Central will be terminated her* March 31 instead of Feb. 27 as previously an­ nounced. Council authorised pur­ chase of a new 1975 60 inch rotary mower for $2,800. replacing a 1965 mower. The purchase represented a aaving* of $1,000. Close Vote May Endanger Barry’s Bid For Federal Grant A elosr vote on a proposed county bousing maintenance rode may endanger the sp pliction of Harry County to gel $72,000 to rehabilitate home* of senior citizens in the county. The County Commission er* Tuesday voted 65 in favor of accepting the BOCA Basic Housing Property Maintenance Code of 1975 as the county's housing code. However because the vote was not a two thirds majority required for pass age of a county ordinance, the code may not go into effect. If the county is going to apply for the $72,000 federal grant for senior citizens housing, it must have a bousing maintenance code. Thia is a requirement of the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Devriopmenl. which adminw ter* th* Community De­ velopment Block Grant pro gram. Th* proposed $72,000 grant would be used to rehabilitate the homes of 16 elderly persona or families, one In each of th* partlcipat Ing township*. The money could be used only for home* of senior citizens on low '"taZ. rf Ibe tuxtaf. which would cover at least 16 house*, bringing them up to a minimum living stan­ dard through outright grant* to elderly persons, were presented to the Barry County Board of Commis­ sioners al their Dec. 30 m With Commiaaiooe- Wil­ liam Haye* abstaining and Commissioner Victor Eck ardl absent, commissioners on that dale voted 7 to 2 in a roll call vote to submit a pre-appllcation for funds from the Department of Housing and Urban De­ velopment. On that same date in a separate motion-by voice vote commissioners ap­ proved adopting th* B.O.C.A. Basie Housing Property Maintenance Code of 1975. On Tuesday the commis iioner* heard Zoning and Manning Director Ed Soio mon say that the companion motion on the houaing code of Dec. 30 should have been a roll call vole. When such a vote was taken Tuesday Commission­ ers Hayes, Eckardt, Schantz. Johncock and Chairman Hammond voted "nay.” meaning the motion had carried by a aimpie 6 to 5 majority. votlng in favor were Commissioners Bend­ er. Coleman. l<*nx. Hoare, McPharlin and Radant Planning Director Solo­ mon said he has b«n led to believe by County Proaecu toe David Dimmers that adoption of th* basic housing code might have to carry by a two thirds margin since it would have th* same effect as a county ordinance. Presumably th* require­ ment of a two-third vote would also endanger another priority of the "Operation Rejuvenation" program, namely studying th* feasi­ bility of Mtabliahing an apartment project for elder­ ly people on limited incomes. This would be a joint effort with the Hastings Planning Commission. Since th* original vote on Dec. 30 the Barry County Planning Commiaaion has' spent considerable time in preparing material for the p re-application.

William Ellis Jr., son of Mrs. William Ellis of 617 Center St., Hastings, is cur­ rently directing the Center for Instructional Design at WVIT. Under his guidance, graduate students from West Virginia University are advising WVIT faculty members in improved in­ structional technique. "Many college instructors have never had to lake courses in education." Ellis said. "They know the ma­ terial. but they don't know how to impart it to their students." Ellis and his coworkers are leaching faculty mem bers in the departments of biology, industrial arts and education to utilize the prin­ ciples of behavioral instruc lion. Behavioral instruction, ac­ cording to Ellis, is based on the constant evaluation of a student's observable skills. "It to an individualized, competency based form of instruction." he stated. "Stu­ dents must show competen­ cy on one level before going on to another level." Ellis noted that the pro­ gram is rather annoying to some of the instructors in­ volved. "Some instructors have the attitude. 'Why should I listen to you? Tve been teaching for 20 years'.” he said. "To them, we're just graduate students." The program, begun in September of 1976, was funded by a Title III grant from the Department of Health. Education and We) fare and is scheduled to run through May 1976. Meanwhile. Ellis himself is a student at West Virginia University where he is working on a doctoral de gree in educational psycho logy. He received both his bachelor of arts and masters degrees from Western Michigan University. Ellis is a 1968 graduate of Hastings High School.

Some workers entitled to the payment wouldn't or­ dinarily be required to file a lax return because their earnings are so low, he said. However, the payment, called the "Earned Income Credit," can only be made to those qualified taxpayers who file an income tax return, Plate explained. To qualify for the credit, individuals must have lesa than (8,000 in total income from all sources, including wages, salary, tips, or other employee compensation.

Voice of the People T* tbr Editor In regard* la the editorial of February 23. I agree with Mr Fullerton that cameras with flash attachment* can be annoying in certain situs tion*. However, many times the people with the cameras are considerably more annoying. That is why I am taking the opportunity to write now about an important event coming up soon which could be spoiled by people with cameras. The event I am referring to i« graduation l-x*t year, for the first time in my life. I attended a graduation ceremony and was appalled by the number of people who were under foot with cameras. They were dogging the aisles in their ineffective attempt* to snap junior receiving hi* diploma and some of the graduate* found it difficult to make it back to their scat* after their magic moment on 'l->K’i I say the attempt* were ineffective because most of the camera* were initama tic* and the picture* were probably very disappoint ing. 1 know because I. too. was using an instamalic to lake picture* of some of my friend* and I couldn't even recognize them when I got the picture* back. I admit I was further away than some people because I was sitting in the bleacher*, not ob­ structing traffic in th* aisles. But 1 don't think the people on the fkor with in*tamaties got do** enough to get a good picture either and if anyone believes they did. I would like to ask if they can honestly aay they were not in the way when they took I don't think pectic should be allowed to swarm all over the floor with their cameras at graduation this year. Th* HHS gym is big but it will be crowded and these people ar* being rude If they insist oo bothering the graduate* and the people in th* bottom row* of the bleacher* by getting in their way. Those people who would lake picture* from their seals in the bleachers might a* well leave their camera* al home also because I learned last year that I just wasted my film and my flash. After all. is it necessary to get a picture of the graduate receiving hi* dip'oma? Isn't a picture of him holding it after receiving it enough? I urge the seniors I* encourage their parent* not to being camera* to the ceremony this year and 1 ask I how parent* who still in tend to bring camera* to think of the importance of the occasion. Graduation should be a solemn, dignified event and the graduate* as well as the people who attend should be able to enjoy the ceremony and not have it turned into a three ring circus by over enthusiastic photographers.

Undoubtedly some become unduly concerned I'd rather scare scene and keep them alhe than to allow them to di* unwarned. There are day* when I wish that "ecaring'' accomplished more than I hoped for.

I admit it's true that many who speed along at 90 miles per hour survive And some die in crashes at 35 mile* per hour But adding up jurt a few accidents doesn't give u* lhe true statistical picture. As you say. shinny people get heart attack*, loo. But more fat people do It's also true that some heavy smokers live to be 90. But how many more die prematurely in their 40a and 50s? And suffer for many months before being shuffled off by emphysema, heart disease, or cancer as a result of smoking? When the official designation is made, tha city should do something about the side walks on N Church. TT«y are among the worst in the dry. and there m a substantial amount of foot traffic to the Post Office A few trees along the way would enprove the looks a lot. too Also m the same area, the city should look ahead to the abandonment of the reload right of way and see what good use could be made of the proparty We would suggest that a stretch of the rads be preserved beside the Depot Law Offices We have also heard the suggeston that the track be preserved from Hastings to Thornapple Lake and a tram obtained for escurnon rune Tha has been done m other parts of the country with great popuiarrty. but we know of none in southern Michigan doser than Greenfield VOaqe If there is no good reason to preserve the tracks, the right of way could become a park area, with a route for a bicycle trail Thrs has also been done elsewhere in Michigan A bicycle trad from Grand Rapids to Jackson would certainly bring welcome visitors to Hastings Preserving this last few feet of brick street is just one of many preservation projects which should be considered.

However, many limes the people with lhe cameras are considerably more annoying. That is why I am taking lhe opportunity to write now about an important event coming up soon which could be spmled by people with cameras. The event I am referring to is graduation. Ijst year, for the first time in my Mfr. I attended a graduation ceremony and was appalled by the number of people who were under foot with cameras. They were clogging the aisles in their ineffective attempts to snap junior receiving his diploma and some of the graduates found it difficult to make it back to their seats after their magic moment on •teg*1 say the attempts were ineffective because most of the cameras were instama ties and the pictures were probably very disappoint ing. I know because 1. loo. was using an instamatic to lake pictures of some of my friends and 1 couldn't even recognirr them when 1 got lhe pictures back. I admit I was further away than some people because I was silling in the bleachers, not ob slructir.g traffic in lhe aisles. But I don't think the people oo th? floor with instamatics got close enough to gel a good picture either and if anyone believes they did. I would like to ask if they can honestly say they were not in the way when they took it 1 don't think people should be allowed to swarm all over the floor with their cameras at graduation this year.

Parents Do Contribute To Kids’ Emotional Problems ’ ’ ' ' ' ' • ’ • ■ ' lla lime that our society recognizes that parents do contribute to their children's emotional problems, and the involvement of those par ents is needed to e.llminate the cause of their young­ Biers' troubles, Ur. Joseph Seeiig. director of the Barry County Menial Health Clinic, told Hastings Rolar Ians at their regular Monday noon luncheon meeting held at the Mo~r Lodge. » Dr. Seeiig. speaking on “Emotional Problems in Children. Upper Perspec live." said that children need food, shelter and love. Dr. Seeiig declared that most children In our society are good kids, but that there is a segment that has prob letns. and those are the ones be sees the most ot. If a child does not get a lair share of love, many things can happen. Dr. Seelig continued, and by the time a child starts going to school he may have all sorts of problems. Too often we try to treat the symptoms instead of arriving at the underlying causes. Dr. Seeiig said in this period of inflation and the need to work harder for the money to support a family, stress may bo created among parents and conflicts often don't get resolved. Anger is sometimes dumped on children, and sometimes one kid is singled out and becomes a scape- ed. Il is time we start telling il like it is, that parents play a significant role in their children's development. Dr. Seeiig said parents sometimes ask pyschologists and the schools to do an impossible task-slraighten out their children. Emotion al upset is a long term process, and there is no instant reversal. Dr. Seeiig said family therapy is used effectively when parents gel involved. "We may help to break down the tensions in the home." he added. "Show me a kid who has a temper and HI show you a parent that does, too,” Dr. Seeiig said. Dr. Seeiig said some "bad parents" had "bad parents" and sometimes there is a lack of learning or bad learning. Dr. Seeiig told the Rotar­ ians they must spend a lot of time with their kids. "You don't have to be perfect parents" and it doesn't have to be all love. Discipline is necessary, too. There's loo many people who don't want to be good parents, then their kids must get their love some place else. "Hastingi is lucky to have a man such as Bob King," Dr. Seeiig declared. Some kids do make it on their own. Dr. Seeiig said, some coming from the worst possible environment. How­ ever. he added, when that happens there usually has been someone else around, an unde, or someone. Kids can really be helped, be added, with most of their problems resulting from lack of attention, lack of learning or poor learning. There are no easy or short answers, but “spend time with your children," Dr. Seeiig advised. Rotary's student guests for March are Samm Vanlloulen. Gordon Mead. Bob Lewis. Jed Nelsen and Brad Fuhr.

K Big Government Continues To Push Us Around Encroachments on oor freedom often come small steps rather then m giant takeovers And more and more, we are aoe<ng federal government encroaching on state and local, and state taking more control of local affairs We have a couple good examples of this in the news lately The City Council last week had to approve state standards for local streets m Hastings These standards cover pomart* parking regulations These streets, remember, are not state highways They are local streets, which were bu-rt and maintained with local funds But because some of our street maintenance money comes from the slate the state can use this money as a ciub to force communities to meet its standards The standards may well be good ones The point is that local officials should decide what Hastmgs needs not some impersonal, poktical body m Lans-ng The same trend is apparent m county government To apply for a federal grant which would rehabilitate just 16 homes in Barry County, lhe county is supposed to put a county wide housing maintenance or rknance m ef t wh<h would affect aa of us Although the commissioners approved it by a one-vote plurality. a two thirds vote is required for ordinances, and the county may net be «*gtte to even apply for the grant. The grant may be worthwhile, but we re not convinced that Barry County needs a housing maintenance ordinance at this time It this were a deteriorating urban area, it might be different But poor housing is stilt the exception. not the rule, in Barry County. If .he county has an onknance. then it < under some kmd of moral obligation to enforce it. This means more staff, more red tape, more court cases This could be a high price to pay for a relatively small federal grant It rmght be cheaper for the commrss-oners to just do it out of cxi* own funds The flurry about the proposed state land use act is a prime example of bg government intervention Sure, lhe proponents My that the law. as proposed, would not impose controls on local subdivisions which have their own ron-ng But it opens the away for such controls m the future We don't need it.

It s not often that we get a chance like thia lo address ourselves in person to state officials But when the chance came, the Barty County residents did a good job Everyone who attended that hearing-and especutky everyone who spoke--should be proud of the role they played inn werw .»!<•» v anvau wriii-vi---",-i, bring to completion.

He completed an advanced gov­ ernment training course last July and was licensed as a commercial pilot. From there he took up still more advanced crosscountry and special training, from which he graduated in January with the rating of Instructor Pilot. It will now be part of his work to teach the ele­ ments of flying to air cadets in both the army and navy.

Thanks for Itelping us prove itl The Hastings Banner Voice of the People To Uk» EdJton I strongly differ with Miss Eckman's lottor To the Editor to Um 3/1/76 issue of The Banner, regarding the annoyance caused by earner as/photographers at various events. Only those are annoyed by cameras that allow them selves to be annoyed. The same could lx- said of an audience comprised of gum snappers, knuckle crackers and toe toppers. If you let it bother you. it win. I myself am ■ camera buff, amateur at best: however, my efforts are not fruitless, as I know the range of my camera. I attend all func lions in which “junior" takes part and try to record on film their momentous and not so momentous occasions. 1 enjoy photography and do II for fun in addition to assuring “junior" the ability lo look back pictorially with fond memories - and not just of a particular event, but also of parents who cared enough lo spend the lime and effort to be there, attend the event and exer­ cise their avoration in photo graphing “junior" in his or her moment of achievement. I. personally, am proud of "junior’s” achievements, and will reschedule any day to see “junior" off on a church project, school event I the senior trip, for instance) or to witness an individual achievement, and of course, record it on film. Amateur photographers have been known to Mve the day a time or two. as in the case of the Kennedy assassi­ nation. Or, in a much lesser roll, when our "junior No. 1" was married, lhe profession al photographer failed to appear, due lo circumstan­ ces beyond anyone's control. Had it not been for “junior's" camera buff parent, there would not have been a single Cholograph to record the sppiest day In a girl's life. The emotion of the real thing is far more vividly shown than the same act revtoged. Can you honestly My that re.toged photos arc just as meaningful? Would you be willing lo restage your wedding several days later, or »ould you be h.p pier with amateur snaps of the real thing? Perhaps you might look at it from this respect • when your "junior" someday be comes an Eagle Scout or homecoming queen, will you use your instaroatic, or will you refrain from recording this great moment for fear of possibly annoying someone? Our “junior No. 2" will be among your class of gradu ales, and I for one. as a proud and happy parent, will be among the. no doubt, many photographers, to re­ cord that magic moment the real one not restaged of that diploma presenta tion, and I guarantee I will not cause a 3 ring circus. Graduation is a public event, and more important ly, is a day to be shared with rome 200+ other graduat­ ing seniors who. no doubt, do not totally share your view on photographic ab stinance. Whether your in slamatic is used at gradu ation is certainly your deci­ sion; however, please don't attempt to quash the parents of other graduates by suggesting they refrain from taking pictures. The enthusiasm of the family unit, the joy of the day and the pride “junior" brings to us should not be minimixed by sn indiscriminate ban on photography. Pictures are forever. Sincerely.

It has survived time and criticism An array ul unbelievers Save tr od to destroy it. but to no avail. The BWe is l*Le the anvi that wears out many hammers, but remains un­ blemished. Emperors and kings in ancient times have tried in vain to search out and destroy all manuscripts of the Bible. Those who translated its text were martyred If this book had not been the Word of God. men would have destroyed it long ago. Archeological investigation shows that not one artifact of antiquity contradicts any statement of the Word of God. The very bouse of one skeptic who prophesied the doom of the B-ble was made into a Bible printing center. The BMe's moral teachings arc st* relevant. Its histone value is st* being confirmed Its textual reliabdity is unequated. It still changes Ines and moves the hearts of man. When the last battles have been fought...the last prayers prayod...when Jesus comes •gam-the Bible wiU snU be in the hands of man.

P.Q Attention BPOH Ambulance Subscribers! It may be time for you to renew your subscription, and we want you to have the facts about your subscription. This message is from BARRY PARAMEDIC CORPS and DELTON-PINE LAKE AMBULANCE AND RESCUE. And we think there are some things about the total ambulance picture that you should know. When we started the subscription plan one year ago we were known as BPOH AMBULANCE. When it came time to renew our contract with the townships of Barry, Prairieville, Orangeville, and Hope we found the secret meetings had been held and as a result the contract was changed in such a way that our ambulance service would be unable to render any service to our subscribers and others unless the call was an "emergency". We rejected the contract and a second one with only slight changes because we feel you have a right to prompt, and courteous ambulance care in ANY situation. We offered to purchase the vehicles and equipment from the Townships but those negotiations did not prosper and as a result the townships have hired the son of one of the Board members to run their service, according to their contract. BARRY PARAMEDIC CORPS AND DELTON-PINE LAKE AMBULANCE AND RESCUE is now free to provide you with the kind of service you have come to expect from us. BOTH AMBULANCE SERVICES ARE NOT THE SAME. At the recent Ambulance board meeting in Delton, the board, at the request of the Operator of the service voted to LOWER the requirements for people operating their BPOH Ambulance Service. They now require only one (1) Red Cross trained person on the ambulance. This means almost anyone off the street can come in and drive an ambulance that you might have to ride in....you or your family! But, at BARRY PARAMEDIC CORPS and DELTON-PINE LAKE AMBULANCE we PROMISE YOU, WE WILL NOT LOWER OUR STANDARDS! Wo always have, still do, and will in tho future continue to require a minimum of two (2) Red Cross Advanced Course trained personnel on each ambulance and beginning June 1st of this year we will require ONE REGISTERED Emergency Medical Technician and no less titan ONE Advanced Red Cross personnel on every call, transfer, or emergency. BARRY PARAMEDIC CORPS and DELTON-PINE LAKE AMBULANCE AND RESCUE has 20 State Licensed, fully trained attendants and drivers, ready to serve you, 24 hours a day, every day. Our E-Unit, which often backs up our ambulances is staffed by Registered Emergency Medical Technicians around the clock, to further provide you with the finest service at a cost IDENTICAL to what the township will charge you for their services. But they cannot offer you what, we your neighbors, operating independently can offer...for the same cost. THIS brings us to the subject of the subscription plan. The new operator of BPOH Ambulance has copied our subscription program and is selling subscriptions and offering to honor ours. His plan calls for a $12.00 fee and gives you only two transfer calls plus emergency call per year. Then you have to start paying as much as $60.00 or more for each additional non-emergency call. AT BARRY PARAMEDIC CORPS, and DELTON-PINE LAKE AMBULANCE AND RESUCE, our subscription fee is only $15.00, but WE OFFER UNLIMITED CALLS OF ANY NATURE. EMERGENCY, NON EMERGENCY, OR TRANSFER. As a subscriber to BARRY PARAMEDIC CORPS, your DELTON-PINE LAKE AMBULANCE, you will NEVER Have to pay tor an ambulance call. ThhA ot thrt. NEVER Move to pay tor an ambulance call. This policy is now in effect on ALL current subscriptions and all renewals and all future subscribers. A SUBSCRIPTION plan is your best ambulance buy, and Nobody offers a subscription plan as good as ours, PLUS you know with BARRY PARAMEDIC CORPS and DELTON-PINE LAKE AMBULANCE and RESCUE that everyone on the ambulance is fully trained and qualified to help you or your family. Don’t settle for less. Fill out the coupon below and make your check payable to BARRY PARAMEDIC CORPS. MAIL to BARRY PARAMEDIC CORPS, Post Office Box 311, Delton, Michigan or Post Office Box 244, Doster. If you live in BARRY, PRAIRIEVILLE, ORANGEVILLE, HOPE, JOHNSTOWN, BALTIMORE, OR GUN PLAIN TOWNSHIPS you can join. JOIN OR RENEW TODAY. DO NOT ACCEPT LESS THAN THE BEST. Remember it’s you and your family you're considering, and we care when you're considering them. 1 j J . Harrington Read Wan Lake.

IU< W . 1 »« The March 2021 Art I Hobby Fair is one of lhe special fund raising projects sponsored by lhe Senior High Youth Fellowship of the First Presbyterian Church in Hasting*. There i* still space for anyone to display his or her art or hobby. Each summer the Senior High selects a mission pro jcct in some part of the country. The areas range from Appalachia lo Indian reservations in the West, lo areas in Michigan. In short, these mission project* take the Sr. High anywhere people need help. The 1976 project will be lhe 6th consecutive for the Youth. The first group (1971) traveled lo Sunset Gap. Tenn, where they painted and cleaned, helping the Mission prepare for its summer activities. The group then consisted of 10 young people and two adults. By the next summer lhe Presbyterian Church had purchased a school bus in which the youth could take their trips. The summer of 1972 found the 19 young people and six adults in Cannon Ball, North Dakota, at Standing Pock Indian Reservation. There they completely remedied (paint­ ing. cleaning, repairing) the manse, and did repair work on the church. This was a difficult project for the group as they not only had to supply their own need* but paid for part ol the project materials as well. 11>e Senior High mission group (now 26 young people and six adults) traveled back to Sunset Gap, Tenn, in 1973 aiding the mission ootpnrt again by doing cement work, painting, cleaning, and land scaping of land surrounding lhe Mission itself. Newago. Mich. found lhe Presbyterian Sr. High in 1974 with a total of 30 in their group. Here they as­ sisted an elderly couple by building a bathroom and utility room on to their home. The group completely painted lhe home and did the necessary roofing. The addition in the back required digging a drain field and septic tank. This particular project was done in cooperation with American Friends Ser­ vice who supplied lhe money and materials while the Sr. High supplied lhe labor. Members of the Hastings Presbyterian church visited Newago during lhe week the Sr. High wa* there, each helping for the duration of their stay. The summer of 1975 lhe Sr. High youth Fellowship traveled lo Green City, Mo. and completely redecorated a rural Presbyterian Church. The wotk included painting inside and out, re­ pairing lhe sidewalk, and landscaping. The ehurch con­ gregation provided the meals and materials, and again, the Youth Group sup­ plied ’he labor. This particu­ lar trip was special in that not only were Youth and adults of our local congrega­ tion working together but their project was encourag­ ed by the support of the Green City Presbyterian church as many members helped In the repair work. This was the first time the community had gotten invit­ ed in one of lhe youths projects. These mission projects are important because they not only help those who need help, but provide the Sr. High an opportunity to get lo know each other as well a* the adult* who go on the trip*. Thi* integenerational co operation ia a special way for those involved to learn about other*. The distina lion of the 1976 mission project has yet to be decid­ ed, but the Sr. High is preparing for lhe trip with enthusiasim.

The Hastings Banner "Barry County’s Largest Newspaper" Dick Lougfirm. the idativefy new judge of the Barry County Probate Court, is a rather soft spoken man But underneath that quiet eiterior is a wry sense of humor And when he get* to tHing stories, he has some good ones Some of Dick’s best tale* date back to a period when he was a public administrator in Kent County. The public administrator is a lawyer appointed by Probate Court to settle estate* where there ia no will and no known relatives So some of the case* ho got were- to *ay the least- unusual Ho told a few of these experience* recently to the Hastings Krwanrs Club, and wo'« retell fust one of the best. Seem* Dick wa* appointed to settle the estate of a Chinese gentleman who ran the last Chinese hand laundry m Grand Rapid* Dick, of course, had not known the owner when ho was alive, and he sure didn't know anything about hand laundries Nevertheless, ho got the job The asset* of the estate consisted of a pile of laundry." Dick recall* "But it was no good dirty." Fortunately, the laundryman did have one employee, end slw knvw Imwv to run the place. There was nothing written in English in the whole laundry. Dick says, but thl* one woman somehow knew who every piece of laundry belonged to So with Dick checking now and then, she ran the business until Dick was able to liquidate it and distribute the asset* to relative* who were located in Hong Kong So Dick can give himseff a small pat on the back a* "the man who ran the last Chinee* hand laundry in Grand Rapids." There are many ways to ten a new* story. And when you get into something controversial, one aid* or the other d not both will be upset The real compliment to a newspaper is when both aide* of an argument are made, because then you know you’ve done an objective job An advertising friend of our* in Lansing, however, pave u» the perfect example of the new* story designed to inflame, but not Inform. He teH* the story of the young reporter who wrote the article on the speaker who said "An apple a day keeps the doctor away " I tie headline on the atory rwd: "Apple grower* trying tn put doctor* out of business " Orville Hammond, chairman of the County Commissioners, phoned us the other day to say that ho agreed with a recent editorial on how the state and federal governments are encroaching on local and county units. We appreciate the fact that ho mode the effort to thank Tho Banner. We hear from many folks when they disagree, but not as many will bother to tell us when they agree. Thanks. Orville. in the conversation, w* both noted that we won’t always agree. But wo like Orvflle's comment that wo not only should not always agree, but that difference* of opinion makes for good government.

Coach Oom said he's look ing forward to the change. “The main reason is that it will give one more high sch<«>l boy a chance to get in the starting lineup." Coach Oom said It will also pro Sides an opportunity for more strategy although scoerkceprrs will have to be "We're looking forward to it.” Oom added Mkewood High's Varsity Basketball Coach Bernie Weller was even more en­ thusiastic 'Terrific. Gives another kid a chance to play. Fantastic!" Weller exclaim rd Coach Weller added "I'm all for having more kids play, and it might help us »run- more runs." Both roaches said the designated hitter will not necessarily be for the pilch er. (Mien a high school pitcher is one of the strong r*t athletes and thus a good hitler The new rule says: “A hitter may be designated for any one starting player and all substitute* for that play er in the game." Another new rule gives a roarh or catcher of lhe team in lhe field the right to tell thi- umpire to award the bat ler first base Thi* will eliminated g<*ng through the motion of an intentional walk Another new rule state*: “When a roach, player, sub stitute, attendant or other bench personnel deliberate ly throws a bat the umpire Outstanding Wrestlers — Matt Hau^hUd |lelt| wa. elected a* the mo»l valuable member ol tbe 1975 76 Hast ing. High wrouting team, and Brett Pittelkow wa* shall banish the offender from the field." This doesn't change Coach Oom's policy much his player* throwing bats have been jerked. Coach Oom started HHS baseball proc tier Monday and plans on working in doors for a while, unless the weather gets loo attractive. Heavy early work will em phasixe pitching and funda mental offensive and defen sivc plays, such as the squeeze bunt, double steal, sacrificing, along wilh defen sing against thorn.

The program w>« not be in full swing unU the jail is completed, in the next few months, but a group of dedicated ministers and lay people is already preparing tor it. The program rs intended to help jail inmates deal with their own problems, and prepare them to re-enter the mamstream of society when their terms are up The idea is that prisoners lodged here many of whom have committed relatively minor offenses can still be rehabilitated If they revert to criminal patterns and "graduate ' to bigger, tcugher state institutions, the chance of rehabilitation is drastically reduced Rehab*taton of prisoners has been oversold, and has not proven very success­ ful But it >s obvious that the earlier we can intercept criminal behavior and try to change it, the more promising the chances of success. So the place to work is lhe institution which is hkeiy to have the least hardened criminals, the county jail The program which Slientf David Wood has <n trend includes counseling, education and job framing, and with the cooperation of local employers, jobs for recently released prisoners It's going to bo tough to make it work, and there will be failures. But it is an attempt which has to be made. As members of society, we hove an interminable debate over our attitudes toward lawbreakers On one hand, it is natural to want to punish them, and hope that leer of this punishment wtl prevent more crime. On the other hand, the Christian, humanistic response is to work to make them acceptable citizens again. Our penal system has to be a mixture of both approaches. We want to make jad an unpleasant enough experience that any sane person wd want to stay out of it But we can’t just write off all first offenders as criminals and deny there is any chance of them becoming useful citizens again. Wo think that Sheriff Wood, the partiopa ting mmeters. and the interested laypeople are on the right track Statistics alone w>n never prove whether they are right or wrong One soemmgly incorrigible criminal who goes straight may make the whole program worthwhile. II we ate lucky, there will be more. The least that we. as members of the community, can do is offer whatever encouragement and assistance is needed The need <* not for money, but a feeing of humanity, perhaps some volunteer assist ance. and some jobs for those coming out of the fail in the future.

Matching funds from larg­ er government units have made possible vital studies relating to solid waste dis­ posal. land use. jail expan­ sion and mail improvement The comparatively new concept of revenue sharing will bring additional funds and additional cooperation with the federal government to Barry County. Maybe "cooperation" rather than "control" is what lhe inter­ play between county, state and country is really all about. It's certainly a pointof view that should be con­ sidered. As a private citizen I'm as jealous as any man of my rights and liberties. As a member of the Planning and Zoning Commission 1 cer­ tainly wouldn't jeopardize mine, or anybody elves. In reviewing the BOCA Hous­ ing Maintenance Code as it applied to our application for HUD Community Develop ment Funds. I saw no insi dious infringement on the perogatives of local govern ment. no sinister threat of Big Brother watching us. I saw only a reasonable state­ ment of what basic housing should be in a civilized country; what any tenant should have a right to expect from a decent landlord; what a purchaser should want in any house. Frankly, I can't under stand lhe concerns which would prevent this county from sharing in federal funds devoted to housing improvement for the elderly on limited incomes. Il's not just a matter of sixteen houses, either. Consider this quote from the Battle Creek Enquirer of March 1: "Last year the city (B.C.I received 1177.000 in com munity development funds" “After 1976 77. lhe city will receive more than 9600,000 annually for lhe next four years for lhe continuation of its com­ munity development pro­ gram," The pre application we are attempting to register with HUD will be the first attempt this county has made to avail Itself of such funds. If vre are successful (and we've still got a long way to go) we would hope to formulate and implement a continuing program to im­ prove substandard homes and thus increase lhe pool of good housing available in the county. That’s important to the future. Also important is the improvement of living conditions for lhe present residents in inadequate housing. Y’our editorial indicated that Barry County Is not a "deteriorating urban area" and that poor housing is the exception, not the rule here. The legislation under which we're trying to operate is designed to take care of exceptions in both rural and urban areas. Research indi­ cates that Barry has more than its share of substan dard housing on a percent age basis, and that the number of elderly people living at a poverty level is greater than lhe average for counties throughout Michi­ gan. If. as you suggest, the commissioners propose to do something about the condi lions that have concerned us, as the preapplication was prepared, that's fine. We've seen no such indication, nor do we see anything un­ reasonable about federal re­ quirements for basic sten dards to measure improve ment performance against. These are my personal opinions, of course, and I don't intend to speak foe the Planning and Zoning Com mtssioa. but as a private citizen involved and con errned with a particular problem. Sincerely, Kensinger Jones Te the Editor: As a private citizen and communicant of St. Francis Church in Orangeville, I wish to correct some unfor­ tunate impressions given to Ray Bratton. Barry County Drain Commissioner, the members of the Barry Coun ty Department of Public Works, and Fred Timmers, of Williams and Works, conri-rning a proposed public hearing on the Gun River Sewer Project which was first scheduled by DPW to be held at St. Francis Church. March 29. According to Mr. Bratton, the public hearing on the project has now been chang cd to be held at the Town ship Hall after he was told by Orangeville Township Clerk, Darlene Harper, that “St. Francis Church was in an "uproar" over having such a meeting at their "conference room" and that some of our Baptist brethren would not attend a public hearing if held at lhe Epis­ copal Church." Consideration for lhe use of St. Francis was given at a February meeting of the DPW meeting because it is a known fact that the Fire Barn (the usual site for such meetings) is sometimes very cold and wet. Further, fire trucks have to be moved out of doors for larger crowds and when it is cold, it is a great inconvenience for lhe ■ firemen. The township hall has always been proclaimed loo hard to heat. The wel­ comed use of lhe newly redecorated and enlarged undercroft of St. Francis was extended to DPW after an overwhelming majority vote of the st. Francis Bishop's Advisory Commit­ tee. of which I am clerk. There have been NO reports of any dissention of an “uproar" nature coming to our Vicar or his secretary. In conversations with many Baptist brethren concerning this matter, and at the Baptist parsonage, none existed wth their know ledge. Indeed, they found ft regrettable the matter in referance to a "boycott" was even discussed. If there are any prejudices in connection with this hear ing. by a tiny select few. isn't that a little outdated by now? Little children of all faiths have been swinging in and out of the doors of St. Francis for a couple of decades now. Our Bishop has openly expressed him­ self about our church doors remaining open for commu nity needs and projects. St. Francis began with the idea of bring a "good neighbor" to the community and that is what this was all about. 1 am pleased that we now recognize that we do need a civic community center in Orangeville and to those few within St. Francis' family, who feel so adverse to the use of the church for such a civic function, they should strive, now to ini­ tiate in formulating plans tor such a needed center.

Back Through The Years (Compiled and Edited by th* Hastings Women's CTub| February 16,1910 Mrs. C M. Putnam, in her History of lhe Village of Nashville, describes the community ss it was in 1910. In the older dsys Nash villc was considered the best maple sugar market in the state, and was also a good wood and lumber market, shipping lumber to the Old country for ship building. By 1910 lhe village has had electric lights for 8 years, and is now putting in the 3rd sewer which extends over the greatest part ot the village. The town boasts of IS fraternal societies, also a Christian Temperance Union. For over 30 years we have had a large hall which is used foe theaters, lectures and other entertainments. About 5 years after lhe Waler Works were put in a grove of forest trees were planted on the property owned by the village, and is expected to be one of the finest parks in this part ot the state. In Jan. 1869 lhe first train of can entered lhe village, and the event was celebrat­ ed by a free ride and a picnic dinner. Four years ago the Railroad company built a nice depot which replaced the former one which had been used foe 35 yean. This is an altnctive building with pretty little parks on 3 sides. So now Nashville has as attractive a station as there is on the railroad line, and with attractive business buildings, fine residences with lovely lawns, a fine athletic park of 6 acres, beautiful shade trees, miles of cement walks, electric lights. 6 churches, and an elegant school building, Nashville has a right to the distinction it has long enjoy­ ed of being the most enter­ prising town and the pret­ tiest village in lhe state of Michigan. So this is the Village of Nashville as ft was 66 years ago today February 17.1856 By 1846 stage lines were running in Barry County between Battle Creek and Hastings, and between Kala­ mazoo and Grand Rapids by way of Yankee Springs. Two stage drivers who became we 11 known citizens in this part of the slate were Wm. Burrows, whose first experience at driving was while carrying the mail betwen Jonesville and Mar­ shall al lhe age of 12. and Hiram Merrill, a well known hunter and friend of Indians. They became fast friends while driving the stage be tween Battle Creek and Hastings in the early 1850. letter they went to Minne iota to drive for the same Company. But while the 2 men were driving in Barry County, they became acquainted with two sisters, the Misses Polly and Emeline Powers. So they gave up their jobs in Minnesota and returned here. So 120 years ago to day. on February 17. 1856, the four young people drovc to lhe office of a justice of the peace in Auguste, and Polly Powers became the wife of Merrill, and Emeline Powers became lhe wife of Burroughs. These two eou pies lived on adjoining 80 acre farms for 40 years and were inseparable friends. February 18.1947 Twenty nine years ago today Mr. Albert Silvers, of the Producer's Egg Co. an­ nounced that he was start­ ing a new industry in Hast ings which would be called lhe Metal Tile Products. Inc. The new company was to be located in the old Smith and Veit Elevator, off Green Street, and when a planned new factory building was completed, it was expected to hire around 200 men and women. In addition to lhe fabrication of the new aluminum tile ■ which its manufacturer reports to l<e better than other types of tile currently on the market, the new company was to manufacture aluminum cabinets, kitchen facilities and a small electric tee box. Over the years the com­ pany has been very success­ ful. It has dropped some products and added others, including aluminum storm doors, aluminum awnings, and aluminum siding. It also acquired many sub manu factoring plants located throughout lhe country, as well as in several countries outside the United States. During this lime the name of the Company was changed to Hastings Aluminum Pro ducts Co., and in 1970 it became a division of Nation al Steel Company. It now covers an area of 2 full city blocks in its same original location, and manufactures Aluminum siding. Shutters. Aluminum Gutters, Uneal Shutter Material. Aluminum Railings. Trailer Skirts and Roof Moldings and Edgings. Hastings Aluminum Pro ducts Company has continu cd Io provide approximately 200 jobs for the people of this area annually. February 19. IM6 On this date. 110 years ago. Monroe A. Dietrich, who later became one of Middleville's best-known citizens, arrived in the vill­ age from New York Slate. He became lhe last driver of the Middleville Wayland Stage line, which carried passengers and mail be tween the two towns in about an hour and a quarter. The fare between the 2 places was 11.50. The stage was hauled by 4 horses over poor roads, and in all kinds of weather. Al that lime Dietrich was a hustling young man of 20. The daily departure and arrival of the stage was an important event in lhe local life, and those who had time were on hand to witness its going and coming, because it formed about the only link to the outside world. Dietrich Ister was for many years president ot the village of Middleville. Before that in addition to being a business man. he also served as village marshall and was a member of the village coun­ cil for 13 consecutive years.

Back Through The Years February 20.1909 Sixty seven years ago to­ day. a bit of excitement was created in Hastings when it was discovered that Actress Ethel Baxter had jumped her board bill. Miss Baxter, a prepossessing brunette, had been occupying a room at the Parker House, while performing as a singer and dancer at the local nickel theaters. Miss Baxter showed eon aiderable cleverness in bluff Xofficers until Detroit i foiled her trick to avoid arrest. Although ar­ riving in Hastings dead broke, at the Parker House she demanded the best ac­ commodations the hotel could furnish. By Saturday evening she was indebted to Landlord Parker for the sum al 110.06. A night policeman, upon noticing her hurried departure on the midnight train, checked with the hotel where a wide-opened win­ dow showed how her lug­ gage had been removed. A telephone call to the conduc­ tor al Nashville by Sheriff Ritchie confirmed that she was on the train, so Sheriff Ritchie phoned the Sheriff at Jackson, who attempted to arrest the woman as the train pulled into Jackson. However, she worked a splendid game of bluff on the officers denying she was the woman wanted. Bo Sheriff Ritchie, dis- bended, even though she had left the train in Dear born and had taken an interurban into Detroit. She wan returned to Hastings where she spent some time a* a nonpaying guest of Sheriff Rit-hie in his jail. February 21,1951 In the Hastings Banner we read that 25 years ago today the Pennoek Hospital Guilds presented 12,020 which was designated to be used for the Pennoek Hospi tai Building Fund. This was but one more of the many achievements which have earned Barry County Hospi tai Guilds national recogni­ tion in Hospital circles. The Guilds were organis­ ed in 1922 with 300 member volunteers. The Guilds worked for the betterment and support of Pennock Hos­ pital. and for the comfort of lhe patients. Thousands of manhours of lime have l>een donated by guilds in sewing for the hospital, providing Escort Service for the pa lienls. working in the Gift Shop :nd on the Gill Cart, and helping in the Pediatric* ward. Barry County can be very proud of its fine hospital facility and the sympathetic care given its patients, and it owes much to the fine hospital guilds that have supported it over the year*.

CRACKED Wrap each egg tightly in aluminum foi. twisting the ends, ’hen bod normaPy After boding, plunge quickly into cold water or they'll continue to coos in the fad. If you've cracked them, use at once. If they come cracked, discard them. They're a prime source of Salmonella If they crack during cooking, pour in 1 tablespoon of salt, or lemon juice, or vinegar. That should keep lhe whrtes from seeping out. DIFFICULT TO PEEL Expect freshly laid, high quality egges to be harder to peel when hard cooked then eggs that hove been stored for several days before cooking HARD COOKED A pinhole puncture in the brood and of the egg before bodng w4 prevent cracking and leakage A heaping teaspoon of salt in the water is another preventive.. As soon as the water comas to a bod. turn heat down and let the eggs simmer for 15 minutes then remove from hot water; otherwise lhe whites toughen.

True, we all resist bureau critic interference and en croaehmcnt on torsi control.

Do people realize that 90 percent of Barry County's, plus other counties. Agricultural lame stone come* from Eaton County, near Bellevue, and that the town is built over this very rich fertilizer.

Get a ropy of lhe Bill. Read it; List your own critical areas; and then feel free to discuss your opinlom on facts and not be intimi dated by lhe likes of Joe Mack.

That's the dale Michigan's "right-lur.i-oo-red" law be comes effective. The law. enac.'ed last De­ cember by the Michigan Legislature, provides that after coming to a full stop, a motorist may turn right on a red light when vehicular and pedestrian traffic dears un iez« lhe turn is specifically prohibited by a sign posted at the intersection. Previously, motorists could turn right on red only if permitted by flashing red arrows on traffic signals at the intersection. Under tbe new law. flashing red arrows wifl be eliminated. In addition to right turns on red, the new law permits left turns on red onto one­ way streets, after a stop, when traffic clears. Right turns on red are now permitted in many states in tbe interests of saving time, conserving fuel and reducing traffic conges­ tion at intersections. The new law permits motorists to make turns on red at approximately 1.600 of lhe 1.850 signalized inter­ sections on the state's 9 J00 mile highway system. Right turns on red will be specifi­ cally banned by overhead signs on lhe remainder. ApCximately 800 signs read_ "No Turn On Red" will be posted at these intersec lions. Eactors on whether to prohibit right turns on red include numbers of pedes trians using the intersection, speed of traffic, existing types of traffic controls and complexity of intersection traffic. In addition to state high­ ways. several thousand traf­ fic signals on city streets and county roads will be affected by the new law. To prepare for the change, the Department of State Highways and Transporta­ tion is erecting "No Turn On Rod" signs at signalized intersections where turns on red will be prohibited. ahead of the March 31 dale, when­ ever practical.

The contest is open to any eighth grader in Michigan. As sponsor of the Contest.

Two hundred years ago she was an immature and developing bud but now she has grown and is now a beautiful blooming flower. "She is an important coun­ try to her people and other countries in their success and survival. Her beautiful rolling hills and canyons make this nation very spe­ cial to me. Her lowering cities are as important to us as they are to other cities around the world. "And her people deter­ mine lhe success of this vast and lovely place. They ire lhe judges and they are the justice. These and only these people have made this coun try what it ia today. Without them our country might be a poverty-stricken place, striving on stronger count­ ries to live and breath. We are an independant nation "Right now we depend on the ideas and cleverness of the older generation, but in a matter of lime their re­ sponsibilities will be passed on to me. Therefore, it is important for mo and my peers to get as much educa­ tion as possible and to realize what is going on In our forever ehanging world for the success of the United States will soon be on our sbouldera." �THE HASTINGS BANNER.

The fart that there were good freshman and junior varsity teams helped the optimism on the hilltop. Coach Lew Lang who took over the head coaching reins about mid season, thanked lhe varsity players for their cooperation and facing up to a difficult situa lion "At limes they played very well.” Coach lung de dared. He said joining tbe Twin Valley Conference would provide added com petition and would provide a new challenge. Coach lung urged all the athletes to develop a philo sophy of patience and unself ishnes* and to work hard to improve their abilities. Coach Lang said ho had enjoyed working with the boy» and declared there is a fine group of basketball players in the making. While Coach lung and lhe other Saxon members were discussing lhe necessity for hard work, we couldn't help think of lhe Jack Nicklaus story in lhe current Golf Digest. It tells how Nick laua. deciding on becoming a good golfer, would plsy as many as 54 holes in a day. carrying his own clubs. "Once I played 63 holes in a day. Sometimes I'd only play 36 holes, but maybe hit 500, 600 balls. Hit 'em, pick 'em up. hit 'em. pick 'em up.” Gruelvema was tbe first to swim to shore. He got to the fuller residence on the Heath Rood. Smith said, and authorities were alerted al 3:21 pm The other man. William M Vanlxipik. got out of the river and reached lhe Coll ver home on W. State Hoad In the meantime, sheriffs officers were un and along the river in tbe search, along with Conservation Officer Brent Willison. A private plane was scanning the stream helping in tbe search. The Grand Rapids men had a dog - ‘th them, and he escaped without any prob lent. This incident ended with­ out any problems, but when one considers how murh lime and effort was spent by authorities in attempting to effect a rescue if one had been needed and there was no reason to doubt the need—persons should think a long lime before risking their lives, and lhe lives of others on raging walers. "It dorMl't seem to do too much good to w arn people to stay off our nv ers when lhe walers are high." one officer declared after many had been called out when two men were endangered when their canoe capsized in the swollen Thornapple Tuesday afternoon.” The two. 32 year old Grand Rapid« men put their canoe in the river al Tyden Park, according to Sergeant Gerald Smith of lhe Harry County Sheriffs Depart mml. bound for Middleville. En route the canoe became entangled in a fallen tree. Sergeant Smith said. The canoe lipped over and part of the tree broke loose. They grabbed it and began float ing down stream.

The public is invited to attend, said Rep. Wayne Sackett, who ha* arranged the meeting with Robert F. Nida. Juvenile Court Director and Chair man. Rep. Sackett ha* invited member* of the House Judi clary tub committee. before which the Jondahl and Cawthorne bills are pending, ha* invited other members of the subcommittee to attend and apeak with him. David Storrs, president of the Michigan Juvenile Justice Association, will attend and be available for comment on the future of the Juvenile Court System. The Jondahl Bill, seeking a complete revision of the Juvenile Code, has caused much discussion among school administrators, law enforcement officers and Ju­ venile Court judges. It would abolish "statu* often, es". home runaways, school truants, children who re­ peatedly disobey their parent*, a* subject to Juve nile Court control. It alio raises to age 18. the deftni l ton of a delinquent child but forbid* putting them in jail for any reason. More restric­ tion* in the waiver of a child to adult criminal court are contained in the bill. The Caw thorne Bill pro­ vide* les* dramatic and drastic revision of the pre sent law and ha* been offer ed a* an alternative by a group of educator*, social ' worker*, probate judge*, law enforcement group*, women's organisations, parent* and lawyer*.

Hastings will need both developments It is understandable that Farmers Home would not approve financing for 2 projects in Hastings in the same year. But [rarhaps in a year or two. the second apartment group could be built, as well We are not aware of any serious opposition to the Greiac plans We hope that members of the pubke wJi attend the meetmg. both to attest to the pubic need and support for the new apartments, and to raise any questions wh-ch the public m>ght have If no serious new objections come out, then the Greiac development should be approved by the planning commission Frankly, we re thankful that Hastings has such a careful, professional planning com­ mission It has met at least twice to study the Greiac proposal, and has given it a great deal of time and consideration The commission has the twin responsibilities of seeing that Hastings makes progress wMe not allowing developers to abuse their privileges and harm the town The most important question in the mind of planning commission members should be will tlus apartment development fulfill a real need The answer seems to be "yes" to that, and beyond that the commission only needs to concern itself with how well the Greiac plans meet city regulations Mr. Kinetnan now has in his possession a petition, signed by 40 people in thia area, requesting better snow removal at the corner in the winter, and that the banks along the road, and the hill itself, be cut down when the weather permits With this petitioa are signed papers from the property owners involved giving their permission to cut the noces sary amount from their land. Last week work wu be­ gun on this project and it is hoped it continues to com pletion—we're not giving up this lime until the Job is ards on our county roads before tackling those big "federal-fund" jobs.

The legislature has opened up the advertising on prescrip­ tion drugs and is working on eyeglass prices, among other things. And why not’ right now. a physician or a lawyer can’t even advertise his office hours without running a foul of ethics ' What's so unethical about that’ Or. for trial matter, what would be wrong about letting the jniblic know what a lawyer charges for routine divorces, or a doctor for n basic office cal? Il is a fundamental rule of advertising that good advertising is informational In these days of consumerism, the consumer is looking for ^formation Advertising is a legitenate means of informing the consumer, so why Should "professionals not be permitted to use it? Ask a professional man about this, and tie'll tcfl you that when you go to the office, he II be glad to toll you wtiat the service will cost, or how it is computed But by that lime, you have pretty much committed yourself. Few people shop" for doctors, lawyers or accountants But before you make a choice, you might kke to have such information Sure advertising can be abused When the car companies try to sell autos with pretty guls instead of facts, that's an abuse But consumers can also see through it. there arc laws and regulations concerning truth in advertising, and some special rules might have to be written for professional advertis ing It s interesting that professional men are usually willing if not eager, to have news stones about new offices, professional recognition, etc. This ' free advertising' is professunatty acceptable But when it comes to paying for it that's a no no March 22.1976 Second Class Postage paid al Hastings.

BE IT RESOLVED----Because statistical sam­ ples used in sales analyses drawn up by the State Tax Commission were too small to be reliable, Beeiuse the random sam­ pling technique used to choose properties for ap­ praisals were not statistical­ ly sound. Because unsound, un­ reliable values have been applied to real property throughout Barry County in the efforts of the Slate Tax Commission to equalize assessments. The results is that the new levels of assessments and appraisals of true cash value upon which those assessments are based, have been placed artifically high, to the serious injury of RET. 11.25 825 10.50 11.25 6.75 6.75 MILES 3.12 4.68 1.82 2.08 4.16 5.85 3.90 30.55 54.75 TOTAL 214.96 198.43 416.95 347.30 257.03 330.23 319.26 467.61 191.68 208.99 3289.06 499.59 agriculture and families.

Michigan 49058 Gentlemen: Transmitted herewith is the 1975 Annual Activity Report for your information ano approval: OPERATIONAL DATA: Road patrol activities in 1975 accounted for 215,585 miles, which mileage repre­ sents the cumulative total of Cruisers 81. 82. 83 and 812. The total road mileage figure represents 53,896.25 miles per year per vehicle, or broken down further, represents an average daily mileage figure of 147.66 for each vehicle. The tola! road patrol mileage figure repre sen s an increase of 48,648 miles over those accumulat­ ed in 1974. The mileage increase is directly attribut­ ed to intensified command planning, insistence upon rosd patrols answering every complaint without re­ gard to the nature of same, simplified report writing procedures and maximum use of non-police personnel. Almost without exception the use of road patrol per­ sonnel as described above, has resulted in the comple­ tion of more activities in the Sheriffs Department during 1975 than at any other time in Its history. Total Mileage for all Sheriffs Department vehi­ cle* (81. 82. 83. 84. 812, 826, and 831) was 250,772. The Sheriffs car. privately own­ ed and identified a* Car 814 was driven 4,440 miles on official business involving Region HI Crime Commis­ sion meeting*, public ap­ pearances. attending semi­ nar*, etc. The Undcrshcriffs vehicle, also privately own­ ed, identifieo as Car 818, was driven 467 miles on official business. PRISONER TRANS­ PORTS: Using an eight hour work day as a yardstick, and using one officer'* pay to measure cost* at an average of $5.00 per hour, costs incurred in transjiorting prisoners in 1975 amounted to $7,585.00. With the completion of the new jail addition, it is antici­ pated that personnel costs, wear and tear on motor vehicle*, etc. will decrease sharply in 1976. 1975 PRISONER TRANSPORTS NO. ROUND NO.

Noteworthy of attention is the fact that costs per meal remained stable at $1.35. Total costs for lodging Barry County Prisoners in the Allegan.

Based on the cost of gasoline, repairs, insurance, service, tires, labor, oil, anti­ freeze and other items es­ sential to the maintenance and operation of each ve­ hicle, operating costs for each Sheriffs Department vehicle was 16.7 cents per mile. JAIL UTILITIES: The combined costs for jail utilities, such as electri­ city, waler, gas for heating and air conditioning, a­ mounted to $11,560.85. Tele­ phone service costs for 1975 were $4,951.63.

Although this figure represents a decrease of three such arrests from the previous year, records of this department indicate that drug enforcement in Barry County is due in part not only to the activities of the Metro Squad, but more significantly, to the increas­ ed patrols of the Sheriffs Department and their con­ stant emphasis on controll­ ing drug traffic in all its aspects. Another factor in the maintenance of arrests in this arcs is the fact that the word is out that an arrest for a drug offense in Barry County generally re­ sults in a jail sentence. A* indicated in the para­ graph relating to operational data, in which it was staled that the mileage increase was directly attributed to intensified command plan­ ning, insistence upon road patrols answering every complaint without regard to nature of same and simpli Tied report writing proced­ ures, department statistic show that during 1975, 51 arrests were made on break­ ing and entering charges, as opposed to only 38 such arrest in 174, an increase of approximately 34 per cent. Again, as with other investiKive data maintained on in this office, the sharp increase in burglarly arrests is the direct result of the release of investigative per­ sonnel to concentrate on such offense by the employ­ ment of civilian dispatchers who also double as turnkeys through the use of the Comprehensive Employ­ ment Training Act, more commonly called CETA. In the latter part of 1975. an announcement was made in­ dicating that CETA person­ nel reductions would be made throughout the Coun­ ty. In the event such a reduction waa to take place, the release of such CETA personnel would require the recall of road patrol person­ nel to perform administra­ tive tasks, such as radio dispatching, turnkey duties, etc. Naturally it may be readily seen that the recall of such officer personnel would drastically reduce not only the number of cruiser miles logged in a 24 hour period, but would also sharp­ ly curtail investigating acti­ vities in the area o( serious indexed crimes.

In 1975 indexed crime* increas ed by 29 percent. SUMMARY: The year 1975 has proven to be a period of great activity for the Barry Coun­ ty Sheriff* Department. Esnh and every member of the department has been called upon through the year to increase their efficiency in an effort to provide belter and more professional ser­ vices for the Community. The beginning of 1975 saw the starting of a new ad­ ministration with its prime goal of providing better service to the community. The farts and figures in this report testify to the fact that more professional service have been provided even though the pressure of in­ creased crime, request for additional service, and the interruption nf construction was placed upon all involv­ ed. RaK'd upon the activities of 1975. it is evident that the Barry County SherifT* De­ partment will be under an increasing demand to con linue to maintain and im­ prove services in every area for 1976. The department will be required to deal with erime at an increased level and in a more sophisticated manner. The opening of a correction al facility will commence a challenging and important (ihasc of law enforcement in larry County. Special Ser­ vices such as Breathalyzer Operation. Central Dis­ patching. Marine Enforce ment. Snowmobile Enforce ment. Hunter Safely Train ing, Community Based Treatment Frograming. a long with other* in the planning stage, will be en­ larged upon for the benefit of Harry County. However, let us not forget the impor­ tance of first line police work, such as road patrol, complaint answering and crime investigation. These, which are aimed al law enforcement’s prime respon­ sibility that of reducing crime for a safer community will in 1976 be improved through better training, more efficient use of man hours and equipment, and by more community partici palion brought about by a more informed public.

The inservice program consisted of 24 hours of work in the area of infusing Career Education into classrooms. Included were visits to two other school districts which have Career Education. The main goal of Career Education is to encourage the cooperation of both the school and the total com munity in the education process. In Career Educa lion, the content of school classes remains the same, but the teaching methods arc changed to make the class content more relevant to the community in which the student lives. One of the changes which require community involv ment. is the extensive use of community members as re source people, to familiarize the students to different occupations and life roles. The Thornapple Kellogg School District has a Career Education Advisory Council which is in charge of im­ plementing Career Educa lion in the T.K. School District. Members of the council include represents lives from the school and the community as a whole.

Old WorM Village Mall has some things g»ng for it There are tome interesting shops there, with leatherwork, some unusual gifts, furniture, several ethnic food stands, etc There is ado a tot of junk and many Imee which you can find elsewhere including retail stores m Hastings At the Art and Hobby Fair were Hems which you do not ordmanly find in regular rated outlets Sharpe Ha» was MeraKy crammed nith an and artisans for 2 days, «n The browser could fod art m several meds, leaded glass, cut glass crocheting and krvttmg decorated eggs and other decorative baubles turquoise jewelry, hand made dolh and puppets, some me* imported gifts and much, much more One of the best th.ngs about the An and Hobby Fair m Hastings were that most of Ihe exhibitors were working on their crsfts right there, for the visitors to see All of them seem glad to chat with visitors, too. and discuss their specialities Thus. Ihe Hastings event is much more of an educational experience than just a show. --------------------- Whde mom and pop were shoppng for an unusual rtam. the kids were teaming a great deal about the arts and craft* themsehes A sale benefit was that prices were generally very low at the Art and Hobby Fair. Since most of the exhibitors are really hobbyists, and don't aspect to make much from their skills, they tend to set the prices tow enough that we all can enjoy some of their unique items in our own homes The only problem of the Art end Hobby Fair, which is put on by the Presbyterian Youth, is that it has just about outgrown the spacious facilities of Leason Sharpe Hall. With so many exhibitors, the arsles were gettmg pretty narrow, and many craftsmen don’t really have ample room to display their wares TN* is a problem associated with the healthy growth of this worthwhile event, though We aspect that the group wilt solve the problem next year, and put on a show that is even better Need a gimcrack to g*ve to your wife for Mother s Day’ This one is from a catalog of fancy gift merchandise from New York, but ‘t'a just the thing to have beside the toaster in your kitchen The new appliance rs an electric crepe maker, and costs a mere 4695 00 (plus shipping!.

EdKoe; I am sure many Barry County citizen* are aware of some of the derision* that are being handed down by the Court in Barry County in eases of child support. In the past two years I have been in a position to know first hand some of the circumstances of the men who have been incarcerated for non support. In 12 of the cases that I know about, the m.n con­ cerned were ordered to court Just after they had become employed and just before they were to receive their first pay check. While It is true that these men were behind in their support, it is also true that the court of Barry County did not give them a chance to pay or see if they would pay any support. This court is a "I don't care" court. Most of the e* wives of these men are probably on ADC. but a few of the ex-wives are working and earning more money than the man. and there is no danger of the children starving or the home being lost. However, the present wife is left with a husband in Jail, a home threatened by the loss of his income, hun gry children, etc., until she ran get help from the De nartment of Social Services. Hus, the county taxpayer is burdened with another So rial Service recipient until the husband is released and return* to work, providing he is allowed to make it to his First pay day. Just this week another case came to my attention, and I can no longer remain an apathetic ritizen. The wife of a man I had employ­ ed part time called for his C check because he had n thrown in Jail for non support. The man has been trying to get a business started here in town. Ha is married again and has two children to support in this marriage. They have had some hard times. They had a baby die and S9.000 worth of medical bills for another child that has had allergies and has been at the point of death several times.

When he attempted to explain to the court that he could not make payments if he was in Jail, the judge would not listen tiecause he doesn't care. The judge stated that he “didn't care." Perhaps he doesn't care, because he isn't a Barry County judge. By this I mean, he doesn't live in Barry County. I feel the citizens of Barry County should take a good look at this judge and decide for themselves if they want their Hi dollars spent on bringing men and women into court, and their present families going on the Social Service's rolls, along with the first families, because even if the first family is on Social Service*, the man is supporting the second family. The decisions of this judge force the taxpayer to contribute to another reci­ pient. the man to lose his job. business, etc., and both families will probably be on Social Service* for months or even year*. I feel as citizen* and taxpayer* of the county we hav- a right to have an accounting or investigation of this judge's actions. We must ask if he is administer ing justice or if It is personal prejudice. Sincerely. A VERY CONCERNED CITIZEN To the Editor: It seems that a certain amount of misunderstanding exists regarding the pre application by the County for HUD fund* to assist some of our elderly citizens in up grading the condition uf their home*. Il has been stated in the local new* media that a duplication of service* exists, which may in a sense be true, but the Calhoun Community Action Agency and Social Services Depart menl cannot extend the amount of help that may lie available under the HUD program. Il has been my observe tion that the Calhoun Action Agency seems to favor Cal­ houn County when it come* to disbursing fund* for pro gram* as all of the adminto trative work is performed in that county. Barry County has received very little help in the past from that sourer Bills have been passed recently by both House* of Congress to assist low in­ come families to insulate their home*, supposedly to save energy. If passed, this program will no doubt be administered by HUD. a* that agency has been sug gested to draw up standard* for energy saving in all new construction. From a recent article ap­ pearing in the Grand Rapid* Press the following quote la taken: “After HUD announce* Il standards, states and com­ munities would have lo adopt new building codes failure to comply, under the Senate measure, would bring denial of federal assis­ tance for new construction in the area." So it seem* that the proposed maintainance <ode adopted by the Board of Commissioner* will be a necessary part of any future application* for federal hou* ing assistance in Barry County. It seems odd that so much concern is voiced local ly about a code that ha* been acepted by 79 out of 80 other applicant*! When you consider that the County is nearing com pletion of 4540.000. addition lo the lockup, all of which is coming from Federal Reve­ nue Sharing funds, there should be no objection lo seeking 172.000 to help some of our elderly people whose only "crime" is being old and unable lo help maintain a home so they can remain in it a few more year*, feeling they are somewhat indepen­ dent. The same commissioners voting again*! applying for HUD fund* have been pas* ing out bumper sticker* and passing resolutions urging renewal of Revenue Sharing which come* out of the same federal source, your and my income lax money! The funds In Question have already been allocated for Barry and Calhoun Coon ly and if Barry County docs not seek its share, all of it will go to Calhoun County. It* again our tax dollar*, and I guess if Barry County wants to be generous to Calhoun County, that infor mation should be made known to the Barry County Board. However, one township or rounty is not going to change the programs coming out of Washington. Ila the A.8.C. Program. Many farmer* were against the theory, but they kept right on taking the subsidy!

It is good to see a growing num­ ber of high school students interested in the theatre, and we hope your number increases Now the bad news. There must have been a "blind spot" on the calendar for Friday. March 19. with the ah school facilities sche cd for both the plays and the professional wrestling exhibition on the same eve­ ning. This is not an stuck on the lions Club. I am general­ ly very grateful for our local service club* and the kind of help they offer through our community and beyond. And my opinion of professional wrestling is not relevant here. My point to. bow can we expert our community to develop stronger support for a high school endeavor like drama when we schedule another event in the same complex of buildings at the same time? Or do we expect that support to grow? It seem* to me that activi­ ties like drama usually have a hard enough lime compet­ ing with other interests, like athletics, in respect to bud­ get. personnel numbers and scheduling. Perhaps that's the way the majority want* it. Perhaps It's a commen­ tary on our social order. At any rate, a sincere plea to those who do the schedul­ ing: please, don't undercut the effort* of our high school students and their directors by this kind of maneuver in the future. Thank you.

Speakers will be from MSU and Michigan Department of Natural Resource*. “Basically, we are going to show how the land can be properly managed for it* potential resource yield* and reason* for doing so." say* Dr. Randall Heiligmann, MSU Extension forester. About 12 billion cubic feel of lumber are produced yearly from government and industrial timber stands, which compel**- nearly one third of the nation's forest lands. Private landowner* hold the remaining twa thirds. "By the year 2000. US annual timber consumption will be about 23 billion cubic feet, which points to a severe shortage. But a turn­ around is possible," lleiligmann say*. The private landowner can make the acreage a* productive as any industry forest lands. “It is not un reasonable to expect 200 400 board feet per acre, per year from good hardwood* such as red oak. sugar maple, black walnut snd similar hardwoods, all of which grow well in tower Michi­ gan." Heiligmann says. American wood prodoc Lion can be doubled or tripled. Timber, a* in any field or garden crop, is a renewable resource that can be harvested regularly, and at the same time the forest can be producing otbe. re sources sueh aa wildlife, soil erosion protection and beau iyTimber products are used in everyone's daily activity. The more obvious forms are home building, food packag ing and furniture. Other use* include insulation, lino Irum, clothing and auto pro­ duction. “We use 675 pounds of paper per capita per year. By the year 2000. that amount will have reached 1,000 pound*. Other uses will increase similarly." Ili'illgmann says.

Lewis advertise in "The Republican Banner," the Hastings newspaper at that time, of a Stage Route between Hasting* and Kala­ mazoo. Thi* ran tri-weekly and connected at Kalamazoo with express train* of car* on the Michigan Central Railroad. going east and west. The Stage left Hart mg* at about half past seven o’clock in the mornings on Monday*. Wednesday* and Friday*, and returning, left Kalamazoo on Tuesdays, Thursday* and Saturday*. The trip one way was made in 7 hour*. The advertisement say*. "Thia route passes through the village* of Yankee Springs. Prairieville and Gull Prairie. The country along the route is beautiful, and th* road* are good. NEW AND ELEGANT COACHES have been placed on this route, with fast horse* and careful driver*, and no pain* or expense are being spared to make it the moat pleasant and expedi­ tious route from Barry County to the Michigan Cen­ tral Railroad, The patronage of the traveling public is respectfully solicited." Since the road* were very rough, and the passenger* were apt to be well shaken up by the time they reached their destination*, one can not help remarking that "stretching" the truth in advertising is not new to our generation. February 26.1M8 One of the earlier land mark* of thi* county was the Brush Ridge School located in Delton. It was built of log* during pioneer times, and for many year* was th* center of community life. 108 years agn. in 1868, Mr*. James Young* is credited with establishing the first Sabbath school in the District, which she con­ ducted at the School. All of the children of the district were persuaded to come, and the refining influence of the meetings were soon evident among them. While the Blue Ribbon Temper­ ance Movement was at ita height. Mr*. Young* Sunday School carried off first prize while competing with other Sunday School* in the Coun tr­ io the early day*, there were no undertakers, and coffin* were mad* in the homes of some pioneer. Dur­ ing the first 14 year* of their residence Mr. Young* built all the coffin* of those who were buried in Brush Ridge Cemetery, and Mr*. Young* assisted in laying out the dead. The corpse waa car­ ried on a bi*r to the school­ house where service* were held. Fervent religious meet­ ing* were also held at the schoolhouse as well a* red hot politcal meetings. Parti sonship ran high and excit­ ing "Greenback" meeting* were recalled by many." Taken from "Fresh Out of the Attic" by Burpee Wilh so much of the life of the community having taken place within it* walla, it ia sad lhat the little Brush Ridge School no longer stands to remind us of times past.

Il was from a company which wanted to report items from The Banner, and wanted permission to do so So we created a new staff position and I wear one more hat If you seek my approval from something kindly address me as Permissions Editor. TetbeEdKer: The untimely death of a Springfield man of Fine Uke brought to mind an editorial in the February, 1974 issue of Fishing Fads Magazine. Subscribers to that pubbeation should read it. The editorial recommend­ ed the use of a P.F.D.-a Personal Flotation Device, and suggested that it should be worn at all times when fishing from a boat, ’lite reason given waa that an otherwise good swimmer might sustain an injury, as in a collision with another boat, or encounter other conditions that would make it difficult or impossible to swim. A P.F.D. of a type lhat is worn would keep a disabled fisherman afloat un­ til help arrives. Such devices are available al local sporting goods stores for less than 135. and are one of the best life insurance bargains a boater ean buy. Anyone who spends any time in a boat should seriously consider wearing such a device. Sincerely, Frederick G. Schauta P.8. - The P.F.D. is er­ roneously called a life pre­ server. but it is no such thing. It will merely keep a person afloat, alive or dead, until help arrives, it cannot replace common sense. BEECHWOOD POINT WALL LAKE By Birdena Lyttle Wall Lake is s<r many things that no historian can adequately write of the many events that made it what it is. Early historians describe it as being a “picturesque object” resting in the midst of an attractive bit of country. Ita waters extend over seven hundred acres and in the early years was already stocked with bass and pkkeral. Histori­ cally speaking, no doubt Pottawatomie Park on the south shores would head the list. It is filled with folk lore dating back to over a cen­ tury ago as Indians bartered with our forefathers. There is Beechwood Point with its early housing dating back to the 1880's. Then too, the North side reflects unique patterns of living. There's the story of the early Pio­ neer families who cleared the land for early farming on the north and west shores. Land Grants, signed by the President of the United States date back to 1851. Beechwood Poinl'a hous ing dales back to 1887. It was land which belonged to George Eddy. It was cited as an ideal place for a Fishing and Hunting Ixxlge and so it all began when the first tree was fel'ed. Lumber was hewn from the trees grow ing on this very spot to build the Lodge, on its completion. AT OLIVET COLLEGE Former U.S. Sen. J.

Before moving to Hast- Commission Okays Apartment Plans Without a dlssonting voice, the Hastings Planning Commission approved plans for a new apartment de velopmenl. Country Club Estates, fallowing a public hearing on the project held Wednesday. March 24. at the city hall. The project includes con ■truclion of three buildings wilh 16 units in each for a total of 48 apartments 24 one bedroom units and 24 two bedroom units. Iterated on property south of the Hastings Country Club and west of Broadway, the project includes con slruction of a 36ftx>l street cn the south side of the property. Major discussion at the hearing included the matter of the storm sewer included in the plans. The city plans on extending the storm sew­ er from its present end on Woodlawn to the ratch basin on the east sije of Broad­ way. The builders art re­ sponsible for hooking up the Estates' storm sewer with the city’s. Architect David Marshall of Continental Designs, Inc., at the hearing said he had plans to dig dry wells to handle the surface water, rather than go to the ex­ pense of installing a storm sewer. Director of Public Ser­ vices Mike Klovanich ex­ pressed doubt that dry wells could handle the surface water, and Paul Jones, con­ sultant to the Planning Com­ mission, said the plans to be approved called for the storm sewer and lhat was what was to be acted on that night. Representatives of the church to the sduth said a water problem already exists. The development is plan­ ned by Grelsc Realty of Kalamazoo who made a sur­ vey of the need for apart­ ment! ami reported there were 47 requests for one bedroom units and 61 re­ quests for lw<> bedroom apartments. Only 25 of the first 111 responses to the survey were from families of more than two people. The Information was sc- CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank everyone for the gifts.

Diane Jungias wrote Wil­ liam J. Archambault of Gre lac that the majority of people who filled out the survey form for the project "were very enthusiastic. They spoke of the need for decent, lowcost housing in the Hastings area." Ms. Jun­ gias wrote. "Many people are un­ happy about their present living conditions because of the high rent, deteriorated housing and unreasonable landlords. Some of the sen ior citizens hold up selling their homes because they feel unable to find a place they would be able to main lain physically and economi­ cally." she added. Letters supporting the project were filed from Nor bert Niemiec, president of the Country Club; Dr. Carl Peurach, who owns adjacent property, and Northland In­ vestments. Inc. Richard H. Ritter, direc­ tor of the Barry County Department of Social Ser­ vices. wrote that he favored housing for people with limited to moderate incomes and said well built, well maintained units can be an asset to the community. He recommended lhat a consis­ tent. unbiased policy on vacancies and evictions must be followed, that the roncen tration of people must not be so great within ■ limited geographical area as to over­ tax the roads or other (acili lies or services and that the primary residents should be the aged.

Banner photo, To Expand Pennock Emergency, X-Ray Trustee* of Pennock Ho* pilal arc planning a 1700,000 project to expand the cmer gvney unit and X ray facili lie* along with some other remodeling. Director Rich ard Huke told Hastings Rotarians at their regular luncheon meeting held Mon day noon. March 29. at the Moose Ixxigc. Other remodeling will in­ clude moving the intensive care unit and improving il, and improving the otistrlrical facilities. The building project doe* not include equipment, which may bring the eoat to about $900,000. Director Huke contra*ted these estimated co»t with the major 1966 expansion project which cost a total of Sl.20u.000. Director Huke said the scheduled X-ray expansion to three diagnostic room* instead of two is estimated al 199.000 Ten years ago the two room unit cost $65,000. The tremendous increase in the need for emergency service care was cited. In 1966 emergency room pat ients numbered 4.033 or II a day. l-asl year 17.967 or 49 a day were eared for. X-ray patient* have in creased from 7.096 in 1966 to 1.1.293 last year, laboratory patients in 1966 totaled 14.362 while last year the number wa» 33.687. Director Huke pointed out that the operating bud get in 1966 was Sl.170.000. while expense* in 1975 were $3,460,000 or an increase of 195 percent. Some of thi* increase is due to more "overhead people.” Huke explained more governmen tai regulations ir—>t be met today, along wilh added expense* for insurance and federal program*. Huke said the hospital ha* set aside in a depreciation account about $300,000. and plans to borrow the re­ mainder of the costs but "memorial* and donation* will be welcomed.” While hospital cost* have gone up, there are bright spot* as th* average length of a person's slay in the hospital has dropped from 7.4 day* to 6.2. The average charge per patient day in Pennock Ho* pilal ha* been $123. The Southwest Michigan aver­ age is $132 and the average costs for Michigan is $147. The average cost lor a patient* »lay in Pennock is $768. Huke said, while the average for Southwest Michigan is $605 and the average for Michigan is $957. Huke said use of the emergency room fluctuates between winter and sum tner. The influx of tourists bring* il* use up in summer. Foe instance, last July al­ most 2,000 needed emergen cy care. Huke said use of the emergency room is made by many who do not have family physicians, so enter gency room physician* do handle case* which might otherwise be cared for in doctor*' offices. The propo* rd new emergency unit is to have an area foe the more seriously ill or injured pa­ tients. and an area for the less acutely ill. The unit is planned to have 4.220 square feel to be located on the Green Street side of the present building. The pre ■ent unit has 1,400 square feel of area. Estimated cost for the emergency unit construction is $65 a square foot, while the estimated coal for the X-ray unit construction Is $40 for exh of the B.000 square feet. Director Huke said that as of 8 a.m. Monday the hospital's accounts receiv­ able totaled $570,100 or about 53 day*' business. He said this was below the average for hospitals the size of Pennock, whkh is about 65 days. Huke said planning for the !*hyucians (enter was projected for four to five years but within 18 months an addition was made. He said the construction helped in tbe recruiting of new doctor* and another physi­ cian may begin practice here in July. An orthopedic surgeon I* also interested in locating here. Huke explained lhat out of 9.900 emergency room patient* in six months, 117 were transferred to other hospital* and 95 of those required orthopedic care. Many of these are elderly person* who would much rather be near home, a* would their families. Huke said a new physi­ cian m*y join Dr. J.L. Tramp.

So lo jail the men go because lhe judge don't rare. They go lo pul foe 2 lo 6 months and go hack in front of this judge before they have a chance lo get another job again go hack to jail. There' is no fatrnes* about this court. This i* why our jails are so over crowded so they send these men in other county jail* lo spend some mor* of our la* dollars. We ar* asking of this judge is ad ministering justice or if it ia personal prejudice? Sin re rely. Another Concerned Citizen An '’pen Letter to Barry Township Residents: The following i* taken from lhe BARRY TOWN SHIP NEWSLETTER dated a* of November 1975. “IasI June lhe registered voters went lo lhe polls and passed a 2 mill lax for 2 year* to support our Town ship Police. BUI Fletcher is lhe Police Chief and Hubert Dussia is the Patrolman Under their direction, the problems Iparticulary in the Delton areal are now under control. " Now whoever authored lhe above either did so with tongue in cheek or had no working knowledge ol lhe functions of law enforce menI. If neither of th* preceding apply, then we can assume that said author would be a worthwhile asset to the staff of Dr Seuss, unless of course it was penned by Alien herself as she sat and sipped lea with Mr Rabbit and lhe Mad Hatter. It is time that the rest dents of Barry Township were made aware of a few items, and they ar* as follows. The sum of 1150.00 a week was rendered >unto the B.P.O.H. ambulance tor lhe sole purpose of obtaining the service* of either one full lime man or two part time men. Information has it that Director Doug Squier* add cd another 450 00 dollar* to the sum remitted by the ambulance board in order to have the service* of two full time men These men were Bill Fiet rher and Robert Dussia. Keep in mind that these two men were also being paid a* full time police officer* of Barry Township. Now if common sense prevailed, which obviously it does not. this practice of receiving wage* for full time service by two different professions would have, and should have, been forbidden by lhe Township Board. Unless they had abdicated their responsibility. This is clearly a conflict of interest. Common sense, again, would dictate that it is absurd to think that one of these professions could not, or would not, suffer. Apparently one did suffer, and that one waa lhe police department. In activities, hours in the field, service* rendered and results ot same. To prove this point we shall effect a comparison between the old police de­ partment IB & H) and the new department (Barry).

This same department, again based on communica tion log and lime clock, was not in radio contact for approximately 68% of the time. It does not take much of a mathematician to construct a formula for the above figure* and come up with a percentage of effectiveness or productivity.

Sunday, April 4 3 p.m. | This Week’s Message THOUGH HE WAS CRUCIFIED by REV HOWARD COLLVER Hastings AioemWy of God CRUCIFtEDI No death was so thorough, no shame so complete First there was the scourging. The scourging poet was two feet high. An iron ring, placed close to the top. projected from two sides Clothing was ripped eway from a prisoner so that he stood naked. The Roman Ictors were professionals. They confined their labors to the fme an of scourging and they could beat their victim until only the barest spark of life remained. Wrists were firmly shackled to the iron rings The victim was stretched, face down, with his feet pointing sway from the post. The Roman scourge was a short handled whip consisting of several thin iron chains which ended in small weights Scourging wes calleo the LITTLE DEATH. It r'weded the BIG DEATH • crucifixion. "Then Piste therefore look Jesus, and scourged Hen" Un 19:1) "(Jesus) for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despwmg the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." (Hob 122) The tension of awaiting the first btow was cruel The body became rigid, the muscles knotting <n tormenting cramps Color drained from the cheeks Lips were drawn tight agamst the tooth As the whip descended, lhe chains fanned out across the back, and each link cut thru the skin and deep into lhe flesh. The weights crashed with bruising force into the ribs and curled bitingly around the chest. Thorn was psin beyond the memory of pain. At each stroke of the whip the victim’s body twitched like a beheaded chicken. ONLY THE SON OF GOD COULD HOLD BACK THE HIGH-PITCHED WAIL OF UNBEARABLE AGONY. The very juice of IHe was tom away with every lash The Roman whip could skin a man alive. There was but one rule for the Roman Ireton THE VICTIM MUST NOT DIE. A spark of Me must remain for the agony of lhe cross. Men have bitten their tongues in two under such beaungs Only blessed unconsciousness could bring rebel. The next step was the parade to the execution ground "And they led him away to crucify turn." (Matt 27:311. "And He, bearing He crocs went forth into a piece cased the piece of a skull, which in the Hebrew is called Goigotha " Un. 19:171. "And there foMowed him a great company ol people ." ILk. 2X27) "He humbled HimseM and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross." (Phil 2 8) While the centurion skillfully placed the five inch iron spike in the wrist, four soldiers hold the prisoner. One skMful Uow sent the spike into the wood. Four or five more strokes hammered the spike well into the plank and one final stroke turned the spike upwards so the hand could not slip c*f. The wounds in the hands sent fire down thru the arms. Fainting only relieved the pain temporarrfy. It was darkness and pain; then pein and darkness The pain in me beck, arms, hands, feet and crotch was a duH. throbmg. horrible pain. The pain built up. It multiplied. It was cumulative. There wes no respite "When he suffered, he threatened not; but committed himsoH to him that judgeth righteously." II Peter 223) The crocs was planted so that the greatest amount of suniught would pierce the victim's eyes. Botow the crowd was facmated by the torture. Dying should be a private thing, not a public spectacle Trus was obscene - a mob of people starxkng around waitrig for a person to die "I am poured out Uke water, afl my bones are out of joint; my heart is l*e wax; it is molted m the midst ot my bowels. My strength is dirod up like a potsherd; and my | tongue cieavsth to my jew*. and thou hast brot me into the dust of death. For dogs have compassed me; the ossembty of the wicked have enclosed me; they pierced my hands and my feet I may tea al my bonce they look and stare upon me They pen my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture." (Pea 22:14-18) Then the thirst began The bps were dry, the mouth parched. The blood ran hot. The skin was fevered. The greatest of ail needs r the moment wes a drop of cool water. But water was denied "After this. Jesus saith...l thirst." Un. 1927) At the foot of the cross, the death squad drank in the presence of the dying man to add to he metal torment The sun shone directly into the victim's eyes The glare penetrated deeply even when their eyes were closed The tongue thickened What wee once saliva was now like untoomed wool. Swelling began n the hands and feet It w«e imposstbie to turn, to change one's position Muscles began to twitch The real horror was only begmnmg. The muscle* of the back gathered in tight, knotting cramps They moved serosa the shoulders and the thorax and down to the abdomen After two hours on the crocs, every muscle tn the body wes locked m a sow knot and the agony was beyond endurance Men often shrieked themsetves mto insanity. Man. With all hi* genius, has never devised a more cruef, mom agonizing death than that of tetanus ■ the slow steady contraction of every muscle. Al times the cramps made the neck ng id and lhe head was held flush with I lie vertical beam. Death was man's only desire There were the flies, insects, and yelps of dogs with the smell of blood In their nostrils Birds of prey circled lower and lower. Prayers seemed to mock a man, but he either prayed or cursed "My God. my God. why hast thou forsaken Me?" (Matt 27:48) As the hour* passed, the tiny blood veeaeis which fed the nerves were squeezed flat, and with the lack of circulation there came a numbing paraiysa As the hours passed, sokhero were uidtoed to hasten death They began breaking bones the practiced legionaire could brack the femur with one blow These then were now pams The mucus membrans*, which lubricates much of the body, would dry to the consistency of fme gravel They tire st the throat and lay hke stones in the amuses They would rip layers of tissue from the eye each time they blinked And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, "Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit" (Lk. 23:46) Then came the soldier*. and broke the legs of the first and of the other which was crucified with him. But when they came to Jesus, and saw that bo was dead akeedy. they broke not his legs, but one of the soldiers with a spear pierced H«» side, and forwith came there out bi «.d and water. Could there ever be more intense suffering this side of hell? Chnsl was crucified. He died the most brutal death ever devised my man.

April 13. "Despite poor weather we are making good progress. We have had many outdoor workouts." Coach Bernie Oom said. The difference between an average high school baseball team and a good one is the boys who do the pitching. Hastings has a strong nuc leus of moundsmen Veteran Gary Burpee. 3 4 last season with some out­ standing late season perfor mances. leads lhe mound crew. Senior right hander Tim Lancaster will be relied on heavily as a starter. Tim is a three year veteran who can play about any position, outfield or infield aa well as pitch. Junior right hander Bryan Allerding is expected to come through and be a starter. Bryan had a fine record as a junior varsity pitcher and hurled brilliant ly last summer. The fourth hurler is senior lefthander Steve Raymond, a newcom er on the varsity. Co Captain Elect Jeff Mast should hold down the catching chores this season. Jeff was one of the lop three Saxon hitlers last spring and wa* given honorable men lion all conference. Junior Doug Cole is the backup catcher and also a good bet as an infielder, particularly 3rd base. Jim Hathaway, a senior, is presently the leading eandi date for the 3rd base job. Greg Hall is looking strong al shortstop. Greg, a junior, was the junior varsity short stop last season. Roger Stowe, senior, and Tim Lan caster arc waging a battle for the 2nd base position. Both have had varsity ex­ perience at that position. Both arc excellent hitlers. The first base position is wide open with Jackie Hur­ less and John Guenther lead­ ing the way. Tim Uncastcr or Armand Ranguette could be used at first to take advantage of their hitting ability. Returning veterans in the outfield are Co-Cap*ainElect Greg Burpee and Ran guelte. Both were among the lop four hitlers on last year's team, lip from last year's junior varsity are Mike Hartman. Steve Bir­ man and Itoug Cole lo battle for outfield positions. Hartman has shown signs of being an excellent hitler and Birman has outstanding range in the outfield to go with an exceptionally strong arm. "We have lost 10 seniors from last years' team but 1 don't consider this a rebuild ing year. We have a strong hilling group and good pitching. Our completely new infield is looking sharp and confident. We have lhe spirit and arc going to make an interesting baseball year.” Coach (him declared. learning more about rmcue measure* ia the T-K High School pool at MiddleviUe.Banner photo.

She points out that in 325 A.D.. church fathers gather­ ed in Nicaea and decreed this rule for establishing lhe date of Easter. She adds that one reason for lhe method might be to afford bright moonlight for safe pilgrimages attendant upon Easter's celebration "Because of the depen dcnce on the phases of the moon, however, lhe date fluctuates widely." she con­ tinues. "In 1943. for ex­ ample. Easter came on lhe latest date possible. April 25: that won't happen again until 2038. But March 24 is the most unusual date, its occurrence in 1940 being only lhe second since the Gregorian calendar reform of 1582-and there won't be another March 24 Easter until 2391" The U M astronomer says one of tha most ancient and famoua starfigures.

Hr wa* a member of the stair legislature. and a long lm.< prow* uting atlor nry fi>r Harry County. William II Sweezey wa* born in Hasting*. Hr gradu atrd from thr public schools in 1874. and attended the University of Michigan. He continued hi* studies in the office of Sweezey and Knap pen. and wa* admitted to the bar in 1880 Hr was city attorney, and justice of the peace for a number of year*. Hence.

Indian cluli*. archery equipment, lawn tennis gmxl*. fishing roils, etc The budneu of making croquet equipment was *t.irlrd in 1876 by James |.. Spalding and Walt er I. Wilkin* when they bought the building original­ ly occupied by Dwight and Burral for thr manufacture of cultivator*. In Hit- sum­ mer of 1878. Jamr* Spalding purchased the entire in lerest. and organized, in I87W, thr present corpora­ tion The business wa* the most cxlrntivr of it* kind in America, regularly employ­ ing about one hundred per­ son*. In 1879. upward* of 1,000 cord* of wood was u*i-d in making baseball bat* During the same period. 33.000 croquet sets were sold. Yr*, thi* is the same Spalding Co. which produce* athletic equipment today.- To the Eiditac: There has been a petition brought before the Barry County Drain Commission which all citizen* of Barry County should be aware of. The purpose of thi* petition is to have the "lower Bristol Ijke drain" cleared, relocat­ ed. widened, deepened. and straightened. Iz*wer Bristol Mke drain is a fancy name for High bank Creek, and the above "purpose" is Jargon for dredging. Pure and simple. There is no other way to describe it. Three are two primary reasons for thi* petition to lower the level of Bristol Lake. One is to improve a man's property on Bristol Lake, which he has beer, unable to improve in the past few years with a farmall tractor and dragline. Second is to relievo a high water "problem” which exists in the development area on th* northeast end of Bristol Lake. 1 am no* suprised that there It a water probelm in thia development area, l^st than ten years ago there was a cedar swamp where these people now live. I sec no reason why the taxpayers of Johnstown and Baltimore Township* should have to pay to improve one man's property so that he can sell it at a huge profit, nor should they be required to maintain the property value of homes which should never have been built where they are located anyway. And yes. Virginia. If you live in one of the above mention­ ed townships your taxet will go up if this is approved. Furthermore. Highbank is a beautiful creek flowing from Bn»tol Lake to the Thornapple River. It pro­ vides trout fishing, bass fishing. and sucker fishing, it provides nesting and breeding ground* far mal­ lards and the woodduck, which is constantly in dan­ ger due to los* of habitat. The wooded bank* provide habitat for pheasants, deer, grouse, racoons, morning dove*. other bird*, and even mink. if this creek is dredged it will give life to nothing. It will deposit slit in the Thor apple River and it will affect the water table of not just Bristol Lake but Culver lake. Ixwg Lake. Mill Lake. Little Deep lake, and Fine lake. Il will destroy many acres of ever shrinking marsh lands between Fine Lake and Bristol lake which arc critical to the survival of our water fowl population. I urge every citizen of Barry County who care* about foolish waste of tax dollars, and especially about wildlife, to write a letter of protest addressed to the Barry County Drain Com mission. Send the letters to the address below and we per tonally will deliver them into the hands of the Drain Commissioner. Time is short as the first meeting is April 19th.

McCARTY Open Eorwa: As I've followed Hastings publicity about Centennial projects I've wondered U one involving the renaming of schools might not be appropriate and long last­ ing. The names could reflect local or slate history and be far more distinctive than they are now- for example, Vanbuskirk Southeastern Elementary School. Just an idea from someone who still loves Hastings! Sincerely. Eleanor MiDer To the Editor: On behalf of the students and the instructors, I would like to thank Mr. Earl Argetsinger. the Moose Lodge, and the Flying Hnrsehoe Western Store for helping us in the trapshooting class es at Thomapple Kellogg High School during the Do It-Days. Mr. Argetainger worked hard to gel u» a place to learn to shoo* trap correctly, and he donated hi* time for the young people participat ing. The Moose Lodge allowed u* to use their trap range, and the Flying Horseshoe Western Store gave u* a divcount on elay target*. Thank you. gentlemen! Sincerely. Gerald A. Stein To the Coocerwed CitizoM sod la Between: Since the first letter that was about my husband 1 have sat back waiting to tee how far it would go In the paper. I hope enough men paying support will read this and write in. Then perhaps we can have this "judge" Investigated a­ gain. I don't think they investigated good enough the first time or he wouldn't be in the court room any more. The "In Between" letter wa* a little contradictory. First th* judge should be dealt with then a question a* to if the reason* the man was behind in support waa true. Let me asiure you the first letter waa very true. My husband is behind a great deal In child support. He went before this judge two lime*. First he paid 30 weeks and the judge attach ed hi* wages for 35 weeks. He lost that job. He worked commission and no more work earn* in to him. The other mechanic* were quite busy. But no work for him. So he changed job. and eventually went into buri nesr for himself. Business is slow and only our house rent and garage rent can be made. Tell me. If we paid only the support, where would we live and where could he work? Where would we get money to buy food? Social Services were nice when we applied for food stamp*. We were so bsd off we got them for free. This month they cost us 110 for Ibe whole month. So we are eating. Our rent Isn't paid yet. Some how we must come up with 1160 00 to pay on support before next Fri­ day when he goes to court again. (Notice for appear­ ance for non support came on Monday, following the Friday be wa* put in jail for non support). I must say they must have worked hard considering I paid 5200 at 4:00 on Friday and they dose al 5:00 and the notice came on Monday. It took me 6'/i hour* to get enough money to pay that. (I borrowed from a few peo­ ple). I wish I could work to help with our bills especially medical bills but our son is too sick to be left with a sitter. Perhaps when he is older he will be belter off and I can go to work. I would endanger him if I took him out and if I paid a nurse to come in it would Lake a whole pay check plua! He's been in the hospital approxi mately 10 time* in hi* first year of life. Emergency room I lost track of. Anyway I tried to call this judge in his chamber* but wi* told he couldn't be bothered with me. 1 tried to call the Friend of the Court to talk to him but he waa leaving for a vacation and wouldn’t call. His suggestion was go on ADC. He also suggested I take the ADC ehecks to get him out of jalL Nice thought but what would my kids and I live on in the meantime? I say some men make the money and just don't want to pay. They should be dealt with. The ones who can't pay should be left alone. Why have two families on ADC? Or even one? My husband's ex-wife is remarried and not on ADC. Not all women are. But we are going to be if he goes to jail again. This time he will lose hi* business and our bouse because I don't know whom to borrow the money from again. The money han't been re-paid yet. Let's get this Judge out of court and get someone with a heart and a good brain in there. I have had enough of his smart m.'uth and in justice. (He said he could get free food stamps tool) Lets have some action! Signed, Fed Up With the Judge iaEHaHT .

Price 15' | To ‘Toughen’ Jr. High Attendance Rules; Move To Break Traffic Jam Attendance in Hastings Junior High School for the past two and three years hasn't been good, and is getting worse and Assistant Principal Arthur Steward Jr. 'Tuesday night, April 20. presented a proposed "get tough" policy for members of the Hastings Area Board of Education to consider. No action was taken, but a change to pul “teeth" in the attendance policy may be made at the May 11 meeting to be held at the Pleasant view School. Assistant Principal Slew­ junior high students who have missed more than 25 Parents have been notified and talked with, a calling program hu been made but nothing has helped. Among the proposed changes is one that states that studnets who are ab­ sent 15 days in any given semester may be retained in the same classes the follow­ ing year. Starting Monday, buses will be leaving schools seven minutes earlier in the after noon, in the hopes that the earlier movement will elimi­ nate some of the traffic tieups which now develop when school and factory traffic meet at the same time each afternoon. Mrs. Betty Johnson, bus driver, and Robert C. Miller, administrative assistant for non-instruction. said the problem uf traffic congestion has been under study for about three years. Change of routes haven't solved the congestion. Mrs. Johnson said sometimes it lakes a bus 10 to 12 minutes to cross Green Street in the after­ noon, so it is understandable how much traffic is tied up behind it. The seven-minute moveup will be on a trial basis, and SupC- of Schools Richard J. Guenther will report results to the school board al the May 11 meeting. Supt. Guenther said the school is now looking outside the present staff for a new head basketball coach. He said with about only two vacancies-High School chemistry and Junior High learning disabilities—it is dif­ ficult to find a person to fit the available categories. He added that there could be a shift in personnel. Board members approved purchase of new bleachers for the east side, or visitors's side, of Johnson Field be­ cause of the poor condition of the present seals. Bleach ers designed to seat 986 will be purchased for $15,100 from Standard Steel, the same company which fabri­ cated the west side bleach ers. Funds for the purchase will come from ticket sales with a loan from the Nation­ al Bank of Hastings over a four-year period at an in­ terest rale of 4.75 for a total interest cost of $1,714. There is $1,000 in the John son Field Fund to be used for the bleacher purchase. No operating funds will be used for the purchase. The purchase was recom mended by the Johnson Field Improvement Commit­ tee. Installation of the bleachers is to be done by the school's maintenance staff. The company's instal­ lation charge would be $4,658. The Johnson Field Im­ provement Fund had receiv­ ed in the past 25 cents from all adult tickets purchased. Board action Tuesday night will put 25 cents from all tickets into the fund. The board also adopted a ticket policy alining the Hastings prices with that of the new Twin Valley Lea­ gue. Student prices will go to $1 for football and basket ball and Twin Valley meets. There will be no price diffe­ rential in pregame ticket sales. .Mrs. Richard Shuster was at the meeting and asked that when the new school milk contract is considered, it be made with a company which doesn't use milk con­ taining any PBB. Board members granted a leave of absence to Ahn DeGennaro. chemistry in­ structor. so he can accept an assistantship at the Univer­ sity of .Maryland. Board members eliminat­ ed the $80 elementary tui­ tion charges for next year. Supt.

Almost as in an old movie where the U.S. Cavalry runes charging in to save the pretty maiden, the mill was saved from almost cer­ tain destruction. The Nash ville village council waa ready to again put the structure up for salvage bids when two young women came charging in to save the old building. The young women.

The council also agreed to sell the building to the non profit corporation now being organised by the two young women. An offer of 1500 (for the building only) was made by the ladies. This is more than two hundred dollars above the highest bid on clearing tbe land of the building; however, the price has not as yet been agreed upon. Linda Taylor told the council her organisation would like to buy only the building, and have a lease on the ground, which would be retained by the village.

Be cause of that, the committee had cut out $17,250 for running the airport, and chopped the tree trimming program from $11,000 to $3,000. he said. Tb. only alternative. Cook said, would be for the council to ask the voters to approve additional millage for opera ting expense. However, he said, the committee felt that the eity could operate within the 16.2 mills it is now permitted. The main increases in the budget are due to higher salaries for city employees, Cook said. Mayor I van Snyder com menl cd that this is the first year since he has been on the council that no major street projects are planned When cut» had to be made in the past, Snyder said, they were often made in the street program. "The next step is laying off employers," Snyder said.

To dose s proposed bud­ get deficit, the Hastings City Council is proposing to pul the parking meters back in four presently free parking fou. Under the proposed bud get, the meters in the four fols would raise an eslimat ed $5,000 and help the city meet the increased costs of running a city government. The lots on which meters would be replaced are the two city-owned lots on the north side cf Court Street, the fol to the north of the Hastings Elks Lodge, and the kt to the north of the Hastings Hotel. The meters were removed firm the four Iota in the spring of 1972. Police Chief Richard Sunfor says there are about 126 stalls in the four lots-49 in the lot in back on Pen ney's. 23 in the kA back of the library. 33 in the Elks kA and 19 in the kA bock of the hotel. According to Sunfor. the city lost $4,093.02 in parking meter revenues in the six months following the re­ moval of the meters in 1972. Poaona Grange Barry County Pomona Grange will meet Wednes day.

Use of the landfill has been decrea* ing. so the city plans to go to the equivalent of two days a week instead of three. It is not paying its way being open three days. Snyder said. According to the bud gel. this should cut expenses by $13,600. Although budgeted st $397,427. current .Tai estate tax revenues are now esti­ mated at $375,000 for 1975 76. They arc expected to increase to $453,600 in the next fiscal year. Because of the stale man date eliminating personal property taxes, revenues from that source arc expect ed to fall from $232,162 to $93,800 next year. However, that will be more than offset by an anticipated state reim bursetnenl of $151.000 Ambulance fees and sub trom the lowmtup* for ambulance service are eliminated in the 197677 budget, as is the $72,745 direct expense of running the ambulance service. How vve«. the proposed budget includes an item of $32,000 foe the subsidy to the out side contractor operating the ambulance service. State revenue sharing revenues are expected to increase by $11,000. Other revenue items are similar to this year or up slightly. On the expense side, general administration, which comprises about half of the city budget, is up more than $70,000 in the proposed budget. Almost half of the in crease in general expense is attributed to the ambulance subsidy, but other major In­ creases include more than $24,000 for employee hospi laliiation insurance and $8,500 for street lights. Proposed expenditures for the police department are up almost $30,000 to $229.37. and most of the increase is due to salaries. Of total police expense for 197677. $204,700 will go to salaries. Most other categories of expense in the proposed budget arc up slightly, but a few are decreased. In other business, the council voted to purchase a Chevrolet Nova foe a new police crusier from Larke Burk Chevrolet foe $4418. The bid was the lowest submitted for the cruiser. All four focal dealers suK mitted bids, and some sub milted more than one bid. Ken Howe, chairman of the public safety and park ing committee, said that larger police agencies are going to compact cars, and the committee wanted to try a smaller ear.

He said that one and possibly two townships may join the ambulance program which have not been in it before. The council alw gave per mission to the Algonquin lake Association to use the airport for the July 4 fire works.

April 20. Basic purpose of the com mittce it to develop long­ term plans for creating more jobs for County residents. When an Overall Economic Development Plan is ap proved, the county will be qualified for federal assist­ ance in terms of grants, loan, and technical aaaist ance designed to implement the Plan. Monday's meeting was conducted by Kensinger Jones, acting as temporary rhairman and was directed at familiarizing committee members with the proce­ dure-* to be followed and with histories of other counties which have partici paled in OED programs. A task force of profession al planners has already been assigned to assist in develop­ ment of the plan. Stephen Pugsley, Calhoun County planning director: Jeff Koenigh. economic division planner, and Barbara flown, secretary, are already al work gathering statistical information as a base for the plan. Also on hand for the kickoff meeting were Wall Forbes and Roger Grow of the Southcentral Michigan Planning Council, the co­ ordinating body. Pugsley and Koenigh out­ lined the general philosophy of the OED and described specific accomplishments that have taken place in Calhoun County. Forbes, in a brief slide presentation indicated the scope of OED projects throughout the slate. His examples included marinas, school improve ments, industrial parks, recreation ares develop­ ments. storm newer installs tinns, access road building and other projects all de signed to increase long term job opportunities. Federal funding on a cost share basis was part of all rase histories. Pugsley emphasized the fact that the purpose of economic planning wasn’t simply to tap federal funds, but to develop the mechanics for inter com­ munity cooperation in solv ing economic problems. Such planning and cooper alion, he indicated, ran pro vide stable employment, prevent population km, and hold a strong tax base to provide the needed services for a steadily growing popu lation. The facts that Barry County is growing al the rate of about 20% every 10 years and the current 10% unemployment in the county were cited by Jones as additional reasons for the committee's formation. The OED Committee will work under the auspices of the Hanning and Zoning Commission which, in turn, reports to the Hoard of Commissioners. The plan, u finally developed, will ba submitted to the commit •loners for approval. Il will then be forwarded to the UJi. Office of Economic De velopment for action on those parts of the plan receiving top priority and eligible for funding. In order to qualify for 1977 funding the plan must be completed and submitted by July I, 1970.

Evangelist When Plate asked Josua "What to truth?" in John 18:38, he probably was not the first to ask that question, and he certainly has not been the last. Today we experience e bombardment of various religious messages - each different and yet each claiming to be truth. And it does not help matters when a great number of college leechers pubfciy advocate their own skepticism and give the imprsesion that this is the educated" viewpoint. No wonder many throw up their hands in desperr and say. "What's the use We can't realy know for sure." The Bible depreta satan aa a deceiver. In recent times one of his most effective accomplishments has been to convince people that truth cannot be known. Ho continues to spread this lie as he tell people that since truth to unknowable and unattainable, therefore anything goes Yet. that is not what Jesus said. Jesus said truth can be known (John 8:321. end that God's word is truth (John 17:171. Jesus fumsetf was the truth (John 14«). and his words w* judge us on the tost day I John 12.48). The first mistake that man ever made was totting satan convince him that God's word could not be trusted as truth. Seton got Adam and Eve to doubt the word of God, and that’s what killed them. In an age of uncertainty, be fully assured that truth to knowable and attainable.

Back Through The Years ICocapOed and Edited by the Hastings Women's Club | April* 1918 Rev. C. Jeff McComb* came very close to being electrocuted al the Metho diet Church on Sunday after­ noon. April 9. at about 4:00. The timely help of Dr. Carothers and Rev. Bready saved his life. In his sermon Sunday evening at that church, the lights at a cer­ tain point in the message were to be turned off from the auditorium itself and turned onto a large cross set with electric light bulbs, which hung above the pulpit. Il occurred to him lo try out a plan he had in mind for turning off the auditorium lights so a* to produce instant darkness, which he thought he could do by lifting four ol the switches on the switch board at once. He had not observed that the metal on the switches extended to the extremity beyond which they connect in the current channel*. Supposing the metal in the end* of the switches were non conducting, he placed two fingers of each hand under two switches on each side of the switchboard thus making his body the channel for conducting the current. He say* be never knew so many thing* to pas* through hi* mind in an instant as he did just then He tned to call for help, but found he was unable to make any sound. Dr. Carothers and Rev. Bready who were not far away reached him right away, but he did not feel their tugging al his limbs and body lo pull him away from his perilous position. Their combined efforts and their strongest exertion were necessary lo pull him from danger. Although his two fingers were not grip­ ped about the switches, but just resting against them, so great was the strength of the current in holding his fingers, that one of the metal switches broke when he wa* pulling loose from the switch hoard by his rescuer*.

In addition, it can be made tn ail sorts of shapes, sixes and colors. Your own Imagination can be your guide, and It's a perfect job for do-it-your­ selfers. The first thing to do is to decide on what design looks best for your yard. You can do a myriad of fancy things, depending on your taste, or suck with the simple stuff, like a good old-fashioned rec­ tangle. The next step is to choose the bricks. The best way to select the color and type of brick la to look at the range of choices of­ fered at local brick or supply yards. Then, order enough to complete the job. figu.'nf about five normal aixvd bricks per square foot. Common bricks are approximately SW wide by W thick by ■' long.

Plan also on making a few trips to the brick yard since bricks are heavy, and you can't haul many at one time In the back of a car. When bringing them home, place them as close to the work area as possi­ ble. to avoid extra moving. The exact pattern you're going to use can be de­ cided by laying out the bricks In different ways to see what looks and works best Simplicity is probably your best bet; not only are the simple patterns easier to lay. but they look neat and well organised, and don't take away from the d-coratlve plants to be placed on them. The next decision to make is what kind of base to use. There arc three basic ones to choose from, all are very good and easy; they are sand, concrete and soil. The Important thing to re member when using a sand base is to make sure it's firm and level, or bricks wUl tilt in all directions. A concrete base Is not too difficult and Is easy to keep straight. And. once you get the hang of it, it's fairly simple to "squish" the bricks lightly into the setting bed and level them with a long board reaching from one edge to the other. The soil base can be used for a casual appear­ ance. where a little Irreg­ ularity is preferred. And. if an existing lawn Isn't working very well, you can lay out the stones right on the lawn. You may also wish to consider round stones, which lend an elegant appearance lo any area. No matter which kind of bricks you use. planting some grass between them can add color and quality to your display. When you're finally done, not only will you have a lavish outside set­ ting for your plants, but also the good feeling inside that you did It yourself. “I DID IT MYSELF." Ortho'* new garden book.

Hustings City Biinh Offices in Hastings and Middleville Member FDIC trunks and boxes for yes­ terday's treasures have begun to notice that there's often something missing altogether In the attic — insulation. "Twenty years ago. It was relatively Inexpensive to use as much gas or oil aa we needed to heat our homes comfortably," says Sharon Kay Ritchie, di­ rector of the Home InsU tute for Certain-teed Products Corporation. "Back then, there was really no incentive for us to Insulate our homes properly so they'd con serve energy. But that situation Is completely re­ versed and many home owners now realize that they can save up to SO”, on their heating and cool ing bills every year just by having six inches iR18> of fiber glass insulation on the attic floor.'■ For example. It you spent MOO last year on your oil healing ai.d air conditioning bill, you might have saved up to 1120 of that with proper insulation Insulating the attic yourself la easily done in a day In moat homes And the initial cost of the In sulalion is generally paid back in heating and air conditioning savings in anywhere from one lo three years Of course, this depends on the amount of Insulation n<>» In your attic, the style of your home, and its gen­ eral location On th* average," Misa Ritchie notes, the 1.400 square foot home can be Insulated foe about $300 with six inches of fiber glass Insulation or Its R 19 equivalent.

April SB. 1976. Page • Improvements— investments and realities It’s a banner year to fix up the home A number of pressing realities make 1976 a banner year for home improvements. Families are (raveling less, due to the skyrocketing costs of gasoline, motels, hotels and restaurants, and staying home more. And that's where improving the home comes in. Home-style vacations scetn more desirable if houses cun be remodeled to include such leisure-like amenities as patios, pods, outside cooking and seating area*. As a result, wise homeowners arc investing more than ever before in improving their properties with, as expected, attention to increasing their energy-saving potential. With heating costs soaring, better insulation, installation of storm doors and windows and even roof­ ing are high on the homeowner's priority list. It is to be remembered that home improvemenu properly planned and exe­ cuted not only can produce substantial savings in beat­ ing and cooling costs, but also add value lo the ex­ isting property. Thus there is a way for homeowners to cope with inflationary trends. Advice and counsel is available al the local level from experts in planning and financing improve­ ments. According to Edgar V. Hall, executive vice presi­ dent of the National Home Improvement Council, the Most people will cither take out a separate home improvement loan or add the cost of the improve­ ments to their mortgage. It is important lo note that not all home improve­ ments result in higher taxes. In many cases, tire­ able improvements can be made without changing laxes al all. Most tax increases re­ sult from improvements which add new living space, major additions, structural changes and re­ pairs, or a new garage or patio. in many areas the home- Visit Our Booth at the Home Show This Weekend and See How A Newspaper Is Produced.

The Hastings Banner to $23 billion The Home Improvement Council has several thousand local councils operating as many cities to assist people in their planning. Since loans for home improvemenu are easier to gel than mortgages, people are staying put, making what they nave stretch to suit their needs and many are doing all or at least some of the work them- While money was tight and costly in 1975, there is every indication lhat it will be only costly in 1976.

April 24. given by Mrs. This Week’s Message THE BIBLE - GOD S WORD By Pastor Loo Takkienen Milo Bible Church The Bible* Where Ad it come from? Why does man have it? These are two questions that I would lake you to investigate with me in the neit few moments ol your day First of an. "Where did the Bible come from?" A lot of people have many opinions about thia question It boits down to two major opinions, is it God's Word or man's word? The Bible says. "AM scripture •* given by inspiration of God..." (II Timothy 3:161/ The word inspiration means "God breathed". I think II Peter 1:21 w* help us understand this term. It state*. '.but holy men of God spoke a* they were moved by the Hoty Spirit." Godly men were used by God with their personalities to write the Scriptures God did not Acute the Bible word for word, but Ad mspue the Words as they wrote Al the Books written at the original ume of the writings wore without error Now. you say. we have none of the ongmaf manuscripts This is true, but the oldest manuscript* that we have ar* estremefy accurate One may ask. Why Ad God not aAow us to have the onginal manuserpts? Ono posxbJity a that man would worship them Another is already true, man would hoard them as museum piece* and would be priceless We have appronmatefy 300 cope* of most New Testament tests and they give us a clear nAcatesn of what God wanted to say to man. We also have many copies of the Old Testament to give us God's message to man. Why is the Bible considered God's Word? It is written by 40 authors over a 1500 year period and ha* the same message The Bible's message centers around Jesus Christ from the first book to the last. if 40 Afferent men wanted to write a love story, which ttie Bible is. they would have so many and varied themes and plots in it that it would have no organization or central message This unity helps prove the mspuanon of the Bible II has superior organization, an unique central message and a tremendous plot. Just one other point to mention is the 100% accuracy of prophecy. No human bemg of themsefve* have or could ever do thn therefore, it is God's Book to humanity. Secondly, why doe* man have the bib1*? There are two major reasons why the BWe was given to man Ono wa* to aid the unsaved, the other to aid the saved. The reason lor the unsaved to have the Bible ■» to help them to find the way to heaven John 2031 say*. "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son ol God; and that believing ye ought have Me through Ha name." In order to get to heaven one must believe that Jesus Chnst is God's Son and came to Ae for thee sms. Secondly, the BWo was given that the saved woufd be able to Eve a godly Christian Me Die reason is "That the man of God may be perfect IgoAyl. thoroughly furnished unto an good works." Once a man headed for he! changed Arection by accepting Christ as hit personal Savior and is headed for heaven, he need* Arection for trying. . The Bible i» the message from God to man Wd you accept it as God"s Word? Wl you accept God's way of salvation through Jew* Christ, the Sacnfice for your sins? if you arc a born again Christian wd you let the Bible show you HOW to live for Christ? The Bible is God s Word accept it as thatl Read, study and meditate upon the Word of God and see if this is not true for yoursaff.

Page 4 EDITORIALS [Voice of the People Parking Costs Don’t Justify Meters On Lots The city is already reaping a nice profit off its parking meters and lot operation, and the propoeai to install meters on the lots would meen a further bonanza An investigation by The Hastings Banner shows that in contrast to what many believe the city acutaNy makes money from parking Smce the city is already showing a profit on parking, there re no need for the city to install more meters at the eipense of local shoppers As we noted before, meters were never intended to be money raisers for the city Street meters are intended to discourage all day parking When there were meters on the tots, they were put there solely to pay lor the tots themselves When the tots were paid off, the meters came out. Actually. the city could save pan of the cost of policing the meters and the tots by usmg meter maids, as many other cities have done We don't need a fun scale qualified pohceman to write tickets, and his talents and training ere largely being wasted on that job. With so many out of work, surety we could hire a person to write parking tickets for less than the »13.000 a year in the proposed budget There is a potential savings here of several thousand doHars We can understand why the city counci might want the parking operation to pay for itself. In fact, we think that more city and government services should bo put on a pay aa you go bans. instead of depending on government subsidies. But there's a tag difference between paying your way and showing a profit of 20% on sales. The figures indicate that the city is already doing that on perking. If the meters are installed on the tots, the profit margin vnl be more kke 30%l All the revenue of the operation- in one way or another -is being paid by the person who parks, and hopefuty shops, to Hartings tf he thought merchants were making profits like that, he'd be off to an instant to hum for lower prices. We ail know what a bother parking meters are Bui most of us know that without them, parking would be chaos So we have to keep them In the past few days, the city has been doing a better job of enforcing the two-hour tamrt r> the tots, os wed This is good, as It also discourages the s« day porker, and wfl result in additional revenue to the city through fines. Wo think that the council should be able to find a mere 45.000 somewhere to a budget of more than »1 million, without harrassmg and ripping off the shopper. Some of It could be saved right in the parking operation, with the use of less skilled help It doesn't need to come out of the pockets of the good people who shop in Hastings Stale A Broadway-Thia to bow W.

I realised I had a few ques­ tions that I can't find the answers for. I wondered if perhaps you could help answer them. No. 1: When the ambu­ lance service is discontinued by the City, what is going to happen to the three police officers whose salaries were budgeted through this ser­ vice? Are they to be laid-off. or are their salaries included in the 1976-77 police budget? No. 2: How does the CHy propose to save 913,600 by dosing the "dump" one day a week? When you divide the 52 days a year that it would be closed in one year into the 913,600 that is supposed to be saved, you get a little over 9261. Why does it cost 9281 to keep the "dump" open one day a week? No. 3. Why does it cost the Qty 911.000 to trim trees? Are there that many trees left to trim after the Stale Highway Dept., Cou­ Could we save a little by nty questions it would be sounds as if the dty to in deep financial trouble when Sincerely.

In addition to classroom talk*, the sheriffs staff has prepared a 20 minute video­ tape tour of the Barry County jail which was re­ cently shown to tbe Nash vdle fourth grader*. Em­ phasis is placed on rehabililation and education for the prisoners.

One of the most reward­ ing aspect* uf the program is the collection of Tan letters' that pupil* have written after one oi the classes.

Sbefiey BeBeau and Janet H Ode.-Banner photo Sheriff’* B"d«" D”,n ’20,000 At a lime when there is increasing concern over the high cost of government, Barry County's Sheriff. Dave Wood, offered some good news to taxpayers. His new budget, just sub­ mitted to the County Com mission, and approved by its Finance Committee for the year 1977, is 120.000 or 3.7% less than the 1976 actual budget of 3534.076.00. Ask ed how he was able to accomplish a budget of just over 3614,000.00. at a time when most costs are still rising. Sheriff Wood credit­ ed three circumstances. "We've done a number of things to make the depart­ ment more efficient". Wood said. "Like simplifying re ports and reducing the time it takes to write them, keeping manpower available on the road rather than in the office. We've about com pleted our equipment modernization programs and that's paying off." He also attributed the lower budget to the contin u ing availability of federal funds. These funds, devoted to Community Based Treat­ ment for prisoners, have been extended over tbe next 15 months. "Another factor." Wood said. "Is the completion of the new jail addition. Room and board for prisoners here will be less than it waa at some previously used jails in surrounding counties." Wood was appointed to the Sheriff* office just 18 months ago and has been instrumental in the develop­ ment of new systems. He stresses the fact that the lower budget ha* been *-• complished with no sacrifice In service and no cuts in personnel.

Hope Township Presidential Primary Election Notice HUGH S MUSE Have You Visited The Dowling Shopping Center? By HUGH FULLERTON Banner Publisher We believe in selling Barry County, but the publishers of "Carefree Days", the regional travel magazine put out by the West Michigan Tourist Association may have gore a bit overboard In extolling the conveniences of Barry County for tourists, they noted that "Shop pmg centers t-e at Hastings. Cloverdale Delton Dowling Freepon. Middleville Nash ville. Prairieville and Woodland." These are fine communities, but some of those shopping centers ore no more than a single general store II they qualify, what about Hickory Corners (which has several stores). Cedar Creek. Orangeville. Bonfield. Carlton Center Gun Lake and even Lacey’ Not to mention a number of country stores which aren’t in a built up community. We all need to work more to spread the good word about Barry County But some Visitor IS likely to bo a bit surprised by some of those "shopping centers". Speokmg of faui pas. the latest issue of "The Pipekne '. school paper at Hastings High School, was a bit of a disappointment, especially to the staff which had worked so hard on it. There was a tot of good reading and writing in it- if you could find what you want. The problem was. when it was printed, the pages got ail fouled up Only 3 pages were in the right place including Page I After mat they went, m order. 2 6 4-8-7 3 5. Since when do they put all the evenly numbered pages m the front of the newspaper? Rev Harvey Beach admits to having lived in 3 or 4 states during hia ministry, but not everyone knows he is famous in Trinidad also Duane Jarman took a photo on his recent top which indicates mat Harvey is a hotelnr as well as minister Duane's picture shows the "Harvey Beach Hotel" on that tropical isle, and Harvey is being kidded about having the haven as a tax loss. It's a good thing that the 2-hour perking limit it finally being enforced in the parking lots close to State St. Wo are being asked, however, why the limit has not been enforced regularly? It's funny that the enthusiasm for the law comes only when a controversy arises over parking. Of course, it can be enforced too rigidly. We noticed Friday mommg that cars in the Elks lot were being marked at 9.24 a m. In toss than 2 hours, tire patrolman was back, writing the tickets (he got only 1 car there! The time on the ticket was 11:15--leas than 2 hours If it makes turn feel any better, though, that particular car was parked there more than 2 hours . There’S a better way to mark the tires, too. Hastings policemen are marking the tires with chalk on the tiro sidewalls. So It is conceivable that a vehrcle co marked might be moved during that 2-hour period- -evert to another tot and the mark still bo in the same position In some towns, they mark the tires across the treed of the rear wheel So when a car is moved, that chalk mark becomes obscured almost immediately. Speaking of cars, we hope that wo have scraped ice off on. windshield for the last time this spring After Thursday’s rain, the door locks werj frozen and the frost was thkk Roses, lilacs and other plants have been foehng tho cold as well.

The phrase in question states that “the BPOH Am­ bulance Service to no longer seeking transfer business in (your) area." While we are not SOLI CITING business in ANY area, we want you to know that we are always avail­ able. and willing to help in any way we can, whether it to for transfers or for emer gency assistance. We have fully trained personel on duty al the ambulance base 24 hours per day. a fully equipped rescue unit, and a second ambu lance for backup If there to anything we can do to help you please feel free to call on us. Thank you. • Ronald J. Tiller ed in the House of Represen tatives will no longer be necessary. My bill would have repealed the Auto Mechanics Licensing Act of 1974. 1 introduced the bill be cause I feel that the law does nothing to help mechanics or consumers and it only en­ sures that the cost of car repairs will go up in this state. In addition. I can see no’ point in making our small businessmen in the repair business wade through more bureaucratic red tape. The draw barks to tbe law far out weigh its intended purpose, to protect the con­ sumer from the unethical repairman. 1 think the prob lem is as severe as propo nents of the measure would have us believe and I can't see burdening everyone in an attempt to reform a few. I believe in totting com­ petition be the regulator of business, not government. That way, the mechanic who does good work and gains a good reputation will be suc­ cessful. while the mechanic who has a reputation of providing poor service won't be in business for long. There are also courts of law to cope with the fly by-night operator who isn't in busi ness long enough to gain a reputation ooe way or the other. Also, competition will serve to keep prices down, instead of driving them up as the new law would have done. There has been no date set for the judge who issued the injunction to take furth er testimony on the suit, but I hope when he does he finds a reason for throwing the law out for good. Sincerely. Wayne B. Sackett To the Editor: We do not know who gave you the information on the barn fire which was report­ ed in the Banner of May 5, 1976 but it to incorrect. The article reads “A Sat ursday fire destroyed a 36 x 44 foot barn on the Nelson Hine property on S. Wilkins Rd." This should be correct cd to read “A Saturday fire destroy ed a 36 x 44 foot barn on the property occupied by Nelson Hine and owned by Gerald Hine." Thanking you for your cooperation. I remain. Sincerely. Gerald L. Hine I'm pleased to see that our drive to help the auto mechanics burdened by the state's new licensing act to doing some good. he recent decision by the Michigan Court of Appeals to refuse to overturn a preliminary injunction a* gainst the law to a major step lor tbe mechanics as I see it. Now the case will remain in the lower court, where the injunction against provisions of the law which require all mechanics to be licensed by 1981, registra­ tion of all auto repair facili lies and written estimates on repair coats originated. Apparently the 2,000 mechanics who stormed the capilol in protest of the law which was to take effect March 1 maoe enough noise that somebody heard them. They filed their suit in circuit court, claiming tbe new law is discriminatory and anticompetitive.

Parking Lots Remain Free, Airport To Operate Choose High School Senior For YFC ll-Month Tour Laurie Drummonds, daughter ol Rev. and Mrs. G. Vaughn Drummonds, has been selected for the 1976-77 YFC Team.

The vote on the parking meters was 7-1, and follow mg that the councilmen vot cd to increase the estimated revenue from interest on the invested surplus by 14.000 to match the money the additional meters may have brought in. That done, aldermen ap­ proved the budget for 1976­ 77 totaling $1^)8754950. Returning meters to the free parking lots had been proposed in the budget to bring tn additional funds, but was met with opposition, especially from the Hastings Area Chamber of Com- Donald Spencer, repre­ senting the Chamber of Commerce at Monday's ses­ sion. read a statement which said the Chamber's opinion was that the automobile parking system is operating in the Mack and "Therefore, we oppose the return of parking meters to the four downtown lots." Mayor Ivan Snyder, be­ fore opening the budget hearing for comments, in a brief statement said he was happy to sew so many at the hearing. He aaid it was the first time in his 21 yean on the council that anyone had attended a budget hearing. More than 35 persons attended the hearing and council meeting, in addition to councilmen and city offi­ cials. Moot seemed to be there because of the parking meter issue or interest in the airport. Mayor Snyder said he though the budget well thought out. In his opening remarks, he answered several questions which had been raised publicly. Includin the observation that 8 people will be cut out of the police department when the ambulance service is turned over to a private operator. The police wage contract provide* that no officer crulwa alone at night. Mayor Snyder said, and said the proposal for a meter maid was not included in the contract. He added that the $7,000 wage suggested would be "discriminatory." Mayor Snyder reviewed the history of parking meters and parking lots, pointing out that a bond issue for $95,000 was Boated in 1957 to purchase the Farm Bureau Services pro perty. and it was paid off five years before due with the sale of the Fall Creek lot in 1971 Mayor Snyder said one problem has been that some lots have been filled with ears of downtown workers. Tickets have been issued in recent weeks because of the failure of merchants to keep employees from parking there. Snyder said he wasn't going to argue for or against meters, he was glad to have had the cooperation of the Chamber and hoped the harmony will continue. The city has $400,000 of the surplus invested, with the remainder in the general fund. Snyder said be believ­ ed the surplus created a healthy situation, but some of the money could be used to finance necessary pro­ jects. such as improving the city garage which has an old section "condemned by the city's building inspector.' Money should be spent on the fire station and on the library, he suggested. Sny­ der suggested a sizable amount be retained as sur­ plus so money would be available when necessary, especially to meet matching funds. Aiderman David J asperse said the city is losing money by not making capital im­ provements when neces­ sary. as construction costs are increasing constantly. He suggested keeping about $200,000 surplus aa a float, and to use the remaining funds for improvements. Greg Shettorly presented a special report on the ai-port prepared by tbe Hastings Flying Association. He suggested the council give the association 120 days after July 1 to give members time to seek a means of support and operation of the field that might come from the county, private enter­ prise. the association or from another wuree. he said. "Time is needed Io study all alternative mca sum so that an equitable decision can be reached that best serves tbe citizens of Hastings.Among those present at Monday's meeting was Robert DeRoeck. chief of the program section. FAA air­ port district office; John L Wagner, inspector, aviation safety section; William Gehman. deputy chief engineer of the Michigan Aeronautics Commission, and Walt Moore, general aviation dis tricl office. Grand Rapids. DeRoeck said the city and the federal government made a contract in July of 1959 to operate the field for 20 years, snd that his agency would be happy to continue to work with Hastings on the field. Shetterly said he was serving as chairman of an association committee to W0TK with rouncilmrn in working out the airport pro­ blems. Alderman William Cook made the motion to continue the field in operation for W days into the new fiscal year The new budget doesn't include funds for maintaining the field. Shet teriy said the association does have some funds for improvement of the field. Earl McMullin of Hastings Fiberglass Products said that while his company doesn't use the airport often, it docs use the field and that the airport is extremely important to industries in Hastings. McMullin said it is an uphill battle to lure new industries to a community, and closing the airport would be like putting another “nail in the coffin." Mayor Snyder said he feels the operation of the airport should be a county function, or perhaps a joint governmental obligation. He suggested tbe problem be taken up with the new county advisory committee which ia studying program* to develop. Robert Kenyon. Thorn­ apple and Middleville fire chief, was al the meeting and asked for reconsidera­ tion of the decision not to dispatch tbe Middleville am balance through the Hast­ ings Fire Department should Irving Township join Middleville. leaving the Hastings service.

Wednesday, May 12. 1976, Psge 4 Repair, Repaint EDITORIAL City Budget Solution Shows Mailbox During Democracy In Action Week If you Mt up a model of how represents trva government la supposed to work. it would ba a lot like tbe meeting Monday of the Hasting* City Council. There wm a crowd at th* council meeting-which is good. A lot of people got a chance to give their views on the city budget. Than the counafcnen adjusted that budget to conform to what seemed to be the wishes of the people That, in essence, is democratic govern­ ment at its beat. Ttwro wore 2 important issues, as readers of The Hastings Banner are aware parking meters and keeping the airport open. After some discussion among the council and city administration, tbe Chamber of Commerce opened the pubkc bearing with a statement on tbo meters In the lots. The chamber, represented by Don Spencer, hod facts and figures to bock up its argument. There was full and open discussion, with a minimum of rancor. Then the council acted to amend its budget so that it is u^neceaeary to put meters on the lots. The Hastings Flying Association then gave its presentation. The association had done its homework wH. In a week’s lime, it had compiled a good report on the use of the local airport, and it had got:*.. state and federal officials to attend, to impress upon the council the need for the airport. The council egreed to give the avport financial support for 3 months of the new fiscal year, to give the flying association time to work out alternative ways of keeping the airport open. Solutions to both problem* seem satisfac­ tory "here was an air of cooperation which i* vital to successful government. Improvement The success of Monday's meeting should be enough proof that representative govern­ ment is good government. When people take time to learn and become involved in government, their very participation makes better government possible. Once again, th* meeting aieo shewed that the mere information the pubfc ha*, the more responsible feedback there is. If The Banner had not done some digging into th* parking problem, it might not hove been sobred. tf The Banner had not helped make people aware of the airport plight, the association ought not have been given the time to find a solution 1 ho council and city administration would do weM to make more information evakabie to tbe press and the public. Thor* can never bo too much disclosure. The traditional committee meeting before each council meeting should be eliminated and made a pert of the open meeting. The public is entitled to beer all the discuseion which Sm behmd each decision. Tbe city could have saved a lot of troubi*. of course, if it had opened its budget d*6b*rat>on* to the pubkc. and discussed it with concerned groups like th* chamber and tbe flying association Both those problems could have been solved weeks ago, M the dty acted more openly and sought outside cooperation. At any rata, all those participating should be congratulated for their -ole* in the democratic process-th* public, which turn­ ed out in force, the counci, which listened to that pubkc, and the administration and department bead*, who gave their time and effort to explore the problems thoroughly and help come up with the answers.

Yes you may say that waa my re­ action when I beard rumble* that Hastings would tike to close thie airport forever, or step* in that direction. WeO. I guess just about a generation has passed sine* I chose to help sav* it from being plowed under back in 19G3. Rough time* then. But a steady growth In keeping pace with time*, since ha* rendered it a Class "A" rated airport by th* Federal Aviation authority and on vied by many even larger communities than Hasting*. Here is how it started some thirty year* back. Th* Chamber of Commerce as­ sisted by the Jaycee* and other industrial parties, wanted to pul Hastings on the aviation map. Through the eventual donation of land, monies, pledge* and appropriations, an airps-k was inaugurated. Many can remember th* 1946 fanfare occasion of Governor Sigler. Johnny of Philip Morris Tobacco. Major Kelly and his Navy Hellcat fighter, bands and speaker* staking that day in history. Hasting* h*d entered th* air age and on time. An airpark to be an industrial, recreational and educational asset that generation* to come will need and u*e for just that. I was one of nine opera­ tors tbe airpark ha* had. The longest term holder by three years, if 1 may. I feel I have donated most of my life to aviation here through my command of Civil Air Patrol, working with th* later operator*, guiding th* Fly­ ing Association, even spark­ ing sport aviation io restor­ ing aircraft of yesteryear. So when I said before the airport was a portal of commerce, education and tourism, I can say again, it was and is just that. Only now it is even more. Backed by the Stole and Federal funds, it ha* acquir­ ed a po«t>on in tbeir overall transportation plan. For safety, as an alternate land­ ing strip in emergency, hav­ ing pavement, lights and an instrument approach sys­ tem. Educational, aa a field used for training by sur­ rounding commercial air­ ports. thus relieving their congestion. And even fitting into the defense plan of our country la event of attack. There is very much such a plan, believe me. 1 have a Last, for tourism, being adjacent to Yankee Spring* recreational areas plus th* many lake* of Barry County. So I think it would be absolutely appalling to think a Bicentennial rommemorstion could be mad* by dot­ ing an airport to step back­ ward into time. Boy! that would be remembered by our offspring. 1976, the mid­ dle of the air age yet. Why, and how could this all come about? Because aa I understand, the appropria lions are climbing each year and next year it appears out of right. Then I think it* time to look closer and do some cutting. Tbe burden can be lessened. 1 remember pay­ ing my own utilities, except for runway tights. Doing the mowing, some snow plowing and many other necessary jobs that are now done by dty paid employee*. I used organization* like th* Jay ce*s Civil Air Patrol and Boy Scout". They wore eager for project* and en­ joyed doing them. W* now have, since those days, a more directly con­ cerned organization. Th* Hastings Hying Association, Like a Lak* Association is to a lake, so is th* Flying Association to local aviation needs. A non profit corpora­ tion open to anyone Interest­ ed in airports and airplanes. Some don't own plane* or fly, just wanting io be near aviation. Tb-y are willing to help find a solution even to work physically. Th*y put on several events each year and th* profit* are used al th* airport or put in a bolding fund for airport Im­ prov ementa. So why cannot a solution be found. Better we had before It is too late. If th* airport could b* moved it would go high on the sale* market. It's popu­ lar. If there were fifty hangars added today they would be filled almoat im­ mediately at forty dollar* per. For tbe trend is to satellite airports for econo­ my and in most ease*, faster accessability and leas re­ strictions on equipment re­ quired. The only problem with th* airport situation is not a physical thing lacking, but monetary. This has cocm about du* to lack of serious interest in Ila every day operation. Report* are need­ ed Uh* I gsv* monthly. Visitation* ar* needed periodically by a Qty com­ mittee so assigned. For y*ara the responsibility has been tossed from hand to hand until it rested on on* person burdened by other duties. Many past city fathers have cared less of ite operation or of its very existent*, until it was ac­ claimed by some notable or some serious development needing attention. Then In a hurry facts were needed. I had an ax* to sharpen once but now would much rather work it two way*.

Unity In Language By STAN C1.ANTON, Evangelist A long time ago a man who was greatly interested in restoring New Testament Christianity wrote these words: "Wo choose to speak of Bible things by Bible words, because we are always suspicious that if the word is not in the Bible the idea which it represents is not there, and afways confident that the things taught by God ere better taught in the words and under the names which lhe Holy Spirit has chosen and appropriated, than in the words which man's wisdom teaches." Although these words were written in the 1800's and were considered to be a great leap for unity in that day. the scriptures actuary originated the idea "If any man speaketh. let him speak as the oracles of God" II Peter 4:11). The inspired apostle Paul commanded lite divisive Cor kit Inerts tu all "spook the Mine thing'­ ll Corinthians 1:10). The basis of unity must be lhe word of God. and the terminology of Christianity should be scriptural.

Brother Tells Republicans Ford Is The ‘Right Man/ Gerald Ford "is the right man in the right place foe our country." hla brother. Tern Ford, told Barry Coun­ ty Republicans last Wednes­ day evening, and he then proceeded to tell them why. Tom Ford pointed to the president’s record in his 20 months in office, which in­ cluded pulling the economy out of the recession, cutting the inflation rate In half and making it "clear 'hat we will continue to be the strongest force for peace." Ford said that the country has been 'going through a period of healing" under his brother's leadership. Ford wa* the featured speaker at the Barry County Republican Women's ban­ quet. held at Ijeaaon Sharpe Memorial Hall. Turning to specific areas. Tom Ford said the following: ■In regards lo agrieul lure, the president has balanced the interests of the American fanner and the American conaumer. By negotiating a long-term grain contract with Russia, he has stimulated agrieul lure and business, but given stability to the grain mar­ ket. In the energy field. Pre­ sident Ford has proposed plans to Increase domestic energy consumption, pro­ mote energy conservation and develop new energy resources. However. Ford charged, the proposals have gotten no action from Con­ gress. Ford has ’’repeatedly stood for fiscal responsibi­ lity." but his Republican opponent "makes him look like a flaming liberal." the president's brother said. President Ford ha* backed "substantial cum in federal taxes" which Congress re­ fuses to approve. -President Ford backs revenue sharing "because the concept is good." Tom Ford said. "You get the best buy for your tax dollar at the local level." But Congress, he charged, does not like revenue sharing because they get no credit for money spent at the local level -On the Panama Canal: "As far as I'm concerned, we can get rid of it."

He called the canal "a brilliant idea for years," but claimed that it la indefensi­ ble against Soviet missiles, and not very important to U.S. transportation. He pointed out that the number of ships using the canal has been dropping in recent years, and that the largest warships and merchant ships today are too big to get through the canal. President Ford has used his veto power wisely to "manipulate Congress." Tom Ford said. He said the present Congress is "the most inexperienced and the most liberal by far." Tom Ford said the president's vetoes have saved about $250 for every citixen of the United State*. Before the serious portion of his talk. Tom Ford told a series of amusing anecdotes about hi* own experiences being the president's broth­ er. When asked the ques­ tions "how's your brother?" Tom Ford say* he answers, "which one-lhe rich one who's the optometrist, the smart one who has all the advanced degrees, or the poor one who had to move into government housing'.'" Tom Ford was introduced by State Rep. Wayne Sac­ kett. Mrs. Dorothy Adrou- tde acted as mutreaa of reremoniea for the banquet and introduced the county official* present. Last on the program was Charles Collins, head of the County Ford for President campaign, who urged the Republicans to get out on May 18 and vote for the president for the Republican nomination. He said he has 25 volunteers calling people on behalf of Ford, and can still use more.

Udall Sees PBB Tragedy On Barry Farm Visit Congressman Morri* U dall of A ruona. a candidate for th* Democratic nomina tion for president of the Uniled Slate*, said here Friday that he hope* he can get elected so that he can issue orders that might pre vent a recurrence of such tragic things as PBB poison­ ing <>f livestock. Udall's remark wa* made al the Robert and Margaret Wellman farm south of Hast­ ings at 1494 Riddle Road just off M-43 where he saw at first hand cattle rirkened by the poisoning which I* emt ing the Wellman's thousands each month in lost revenue. Surrounded by secret ser­ vice men, news media repre­ sentatives and local Demo crate and farmer*. Udall said a way must be found to control the new chemical* introduced to the market each year. Udall, seeking vole* in his campaign to carry Michigan in Tuesday'« preferential primary, took a close look at some of Wellman's sick cows, and heard other farm ers complain about the lack of action on the part of the Governor and State Depart ment of Agriculture. "I don't care about the cows. They're dead. But what about our children? are they going to have to eat the meat? We need something done right away." Louis Trombley of Hershey shout­ ed lo Udall. Farmers tUd Udall that the sate nt any product* tainted by PBB should be banned. Congressman Udall said he was horrified and sadden ed at the dimension* of the PBB tragedy. "Until 1 saw the effect* for myself. I didn't fully appreciate what it has meant to farmers and their families, he added. Udall said the government has relief for people hit by flood*, hurricane* and other disasters, and said this is worse. He asked if anyone had asked for help and received a chorus of affirms tive answers. Clyde H. Clark, a (ranch)* ed herd consultant for Hol stein Friesian Service* and also a dairy farmer at Sears, told The Banner that he is losing $2,000 a month on what his heard should be producing but isn't. The Wellman* are milking 115 cow*. Normally they would be milking 200 high produc­ ing Holstein*. Floyd Jones of Hickory Corners was among the dairymen who told Udall about the development the PBB crisis which result ed from the accidental cun lamination by the fire retar­ dant containing polybromi nated piphenyls. The problem came to light in 1973 when Frederic Hal­ bert. a Barry County dairy man who live* in Calhoun, noticed hi* cows did not seem lo be sating much and that the herd's milk produe tkvi had dropped dramatical­ ly from the normal 13,000 pound* per day to 7.600 pound*. Jones wa* having problem*, too. and checked with Halbert. Halbert, who hold* a mas­ ter's in chemical engineer mg. Itegan studying the pro blrm and reportedly traced the ailment to a product purchased from Farm Bur­ eau Services. The Wellman*, who have filed a SUU for damages in Barry County Circuit Court along with other*, said they have not received any settle­ ment from the companies allegedly involved in the contamination. The Wellmans and others also claim they tnd their families have been affected by the chemicals, and have had ill effects. Mrs. Wellman said they will not cat any of the meat from their herd, or drink their milk even luough it is legally permissible lo sell the milk. She said they had blind samples taken about a year ago and she and Bob and I heir four children ahd PBB level of .003 m their blood. Udall and his entourage spent about 30 minute* at the Wellman farm en route from Grand Rapids to Kala­ mazoo. �THE HASTINGS BANNER. Monday. May 17. 1976. Pag* 2 State Stops Obituaries IDA M.

"Modern penology studies," says Sheriff Wood, "indicate the complete vali­ dity of systems that offer Incentives for good behavior rather than just punishment for bad." Top officials from the Michigan State Department of Correction* have referred lo the Barry County facility as "one of the finest in the state for its size" and have said the concepts represent­ ed will work well because “of the dedication of the sheriff and a young and dedicated group of deputies and ad­ ministrators." Frank Uxzo, state director for the Federal Bureau of Prisons, has called it an "A-l" operation and has approved it for the holding of federal prisoners. The expanded jail will provide housing for 46 prisoners and includes a section for women, an ac­ comodation lacking until now. A completely new kit­ chen is in operation where all meals will be prepared. The cooking equipment is also designed to serve in any emergency and up to 300 meals a day could be prepar­ ed. In addition, the jail's all purpose room could pro­ vide temporary housing for up to 100 in case of a disaster. Sheriff Wood ha* been closely identified with the project since he served, as undershcriff. on a committee which developed a feasibility study in 1973 74. A* Sheriff, he has had prime responsi­ bility for the implementation of steps recommended in the study. “A lot of people deserve credit for this impurt.-nt new tool for law enforce­ ment." says Wood. "The county commissioners have been with u* all the way. Russ Bender headed the task force that developed the original study and Ed McPharlin represented the county during construction. The architects, Cain Aasociates of Kalamazoo, and the general contractor. Clarence VanderWerff, of Grand Rapids, really helped us to get more than our money's worth. All the deputies and the public have been most cooperative during the diffi­ cult time of actual construc­ tion. Barry County should be proud not just of what we've got now, but the intelligent, cooperative way we got it. The nearly $600,000 cost of construction came to us through federal revenue sharing wisely and carefully applied." In addition to the open house on Saturday and Sun­ day. guided tours for school groups can be scheduled rangements can be made and a time set through a call lo the Sheriff* Department at 945-3441 or 9453442. "We want a* many citi- to see the new addition." the sheriff invites. “Il repre­ sents some new thinking instead of the old "lock-up" idea. W* believe it will b* interesting to just about everybody."

Ford, Carter Win Big In Barry County President Gerald Ford buried contender former California Governor Ronald Reagan in the Republican preferential primary Tues­ day throughout Michigan garnering some 65 percent of the GOP vote and Barry County Republicans gave him even greater support in a relatively good turnout of electors. Ford received 69 percent of the Barry GOP vote, according to unofficial tabulation. Barry electors went heavier for former Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter than the rest of Michigan, giving Carter 51 percent of the Democratic vote in Bar­ ry compared to 33 percent for Congressman Morris Udall and only 9 percent to Gov. George C. Wallace of Alabama-a phenomena as Wallace won the primary here and swept the entire state in 1972. According to the unofficial tabulation of all of Barry County's 25 precincts, Ford received 4213 votes to Rea­ gan's 1370 with 39 uncom­ mitted. Carter received 1,139 votes in Bxry. Udall 742. Wallace 212. rienry M. Jack­ son 28. Ellen McCormack 24, R. Sargent Shriver 18 and Fred R. Harris 14 with 57 Democratic votes uncom­ mitted. Udall, who made a cam­ paign trip through part of Barry County last Friday afternoon, carried only two precincts, Baltimore by a vote of 45 to 16 and Hastings Fourth Ward by a vote of 47-42. Reagan never really came close to carrying a Barry precinct, Ford carrying some by better than four to one. For a primary which about three weeks ago had failed to generate much in­ terest of any kind. Tuesday's balloting turned out quite heavy with 8,443 votes cast in Hastings. Of thpse, 2234 went on the Democratic ticket and 6,122 on the GOP side. Barry hsd 19328 regtstercd voters as of last Janu­ ary, but many more had registered since that time. There was jubilation a­ mong the supporters of Pre­ sident Ford for his smashing victory, and also Mr. Ford's victory in the Maryland primary. President Ford termed his double primary election victory ''wonder­ ful" Carter carried Michigan by about a 2,500 vote margin with 99 percent of the vote tabulated. Udall said his close second-plaee finish in Michigan was “A win in every sense of the word." He also pledged to stay in the race to the end. Hastings' voters gave President Ford 920 votes to Reagan's 248. In the first ward the vote was 302-88, in the Second it was 113-48; Third. 17942, and in the Fourth the vote was 326-70. Hastings gave Carter 193 votes and Udall 128. Township derks question- ed on whether any problems developed with registration through the Secretary of Stale's office said there were none.

The decision was made by the County 4H Council at a meeting, Monday evening. May 10, according to Dick Hill, 4H agent. A projection of the anticiCted income and expenses - the summer revealed an estimated loss of several thousdand dollars, if the pool is placed in operation. Since there is not provision for deficit spending, the council had little choice. The remainder of the camp facilities will be avail­ able for 4H clubs and other groups to use, Hill added.

Page 4 EDITORIAL Kids Are the Losers in To the Editor: An article appearing in the May 5. 1976 edition of the Hastings Banner stated that the city council is proposing to eliminate the operating budget for the Hastings Airport for fiscal year 1977. We understand that this action, if taken, would undoubtedly cause the airstrip to close. Bliss is vitally interested in eoatbued operation of the Hastings Airport.

Sure, there are a lot of lake accesa points in Barty County, which the public can use for bathing as well as boating But most of these have no safety supervision and no opportu­ nity for swimming lessons They are not a substitute for a wef-run pool. Several years ago. the voters turned down a proposal to include a year round pool m the new high school Perhaps they were right an enclosed pool is undeniably expen­ sive. But it seems like somewhere, we could raise the funds to subsidize the 4-H pool, and allow it to continue to give the opportunity to learn and swim to the youngsters of the area We Do More Than Pump Gas- HUGH S MUSE Br’er Coon Returns to His Night Garbage Forays By HUGH FULLERTON Banner Publisher As we all know, guests are fine a* long as they don t overstay their welcome Someone at Thomapple Lake has the answer One cottage has 2 parking meters installed in th. parking area along the road Even if valors don't get a ticket, they should get the hint... With the warm weather, our neighbor Br’er Coon is very active and visits our garbage cans at least a couple times a week. At dusk a few days ago. we welched him as he fust sat on top of one of the cans and tired to pry off the lid. Then he skillfully pushed the heavy can over on its side, and tried every trick he could to get that lid off. He and the can made quite a racket as he rolled it around the driveway Mr Coon must haw woiketl 15 minutes on that can before he finally decided it was not going to come off. and he amUed away Our 2 cats, who think they own the yard, give him a wide berth when he comes to visit.

The farm, located just west of Bradley, now charges »225 for adults and 41.00 for children 512 years old That sounds like plenty, at Fest glance But the day's admission is also a season admission this year. This means that if you go twice or more during the summer, the price becomes very low Sunday evening s ram cut short our first visit of the season, but the farm looks bigger and better than ever this year It's a dandy place for those of us with smalt children perhaps up to age 10 or so.

The Boys of Hastings Would Appreciate lt-.Time is Ap­ proaching When It Could Be Put to Very Good Use.... There has been consider able agitation in Hastings in favor of a swimming pool for boys. The Consumers Power Co. have the place, which formerly held the water for its condensing plant, on East Center Street. Having dis continued that steam plant, this large pool is not now in use. The Consumers Co. would not agree to give an outright assurance that this place would always be avail able. In all human probablity the company will never a­ gain use it. They will not care to sell II. A big corpora tion would naturally hesitate to give away its property. ....But summer is approach mg. The boys of Hastings should have this swimming pool. The big cemented tank is already there. Il would need lo be enclosed, but that would not be a serious matter. Dressing rooms would need lo be provided. That would not be ex pen rive. It would be fine to have such a place. The matter has been taken before the city council and a great deal of interest has been shown by that body. April 25,1936 On this Saturday morning a chubby little fellow with two unruly locks of hair over hts forehead sat in Judge McPeek's chair and radiated dignity and importance. No. he wasn't holding court; he was competing in the finals of the county spelling con test along with about 30 other youngsters from all the school districts. It would seem that girls take spelling more seriously than the boys, for in the morning session of third, fourth, and fifth graders, there were 21 girls but only 11 boy 1, and in the afternoon In the sixth, seventh, and eighth grade contest, the girls outnumbered their brothers almost 4 to 1 with 20 girls and 6 boys. Maybe it's because so many little girls intend to be teachers when they grow up. and they're starting in young to get their letters right. Mrs. Maude Smith, who was in charge of the con tests, pronounced a list of about 50 words which the children wrote on big pads of yellow paper. Then came tense moments while she and an assistant corrected each paper. The youngsters participating in the contest weren't the only ones who were nervous. Their parents or brother or sister who had come in with them and sat anxiously in the court room seemed more concerned that little Bobby or Sally. The first elimination in the after­ noon found 18 of the 26 entrants still b; at 20 had been standing since 1:30 p m., thought it best to sit down. Finally only two were left: Dorothy Foote at Blske School. Orangeville, and Vir­ ginia Heeterly of Friend School Carlton. At the end, Virginia, in an unguarded moment, rubbed out t ie of her "s's" in the word "assignment" and it was all over. Dorothy Foote was the winner of the county spelling contest. April 26,1924 THE ANNIVERSARY OF HASTINGS SAVINGS AND LOAN AS8OCIA TION Al an important meeting of the Commercial Club, the committee on the organize tion of a Building and Ixsan Association, through their chairman, Aben Johnson, made their report. This com miltee had done thorough work, had visited other cities where there were such organizations, and had eor responded with many others. They learned that a Building and Lean Associa­ tion can and does render a very useful service in other towns no larger than Hast­ ings. and would prove the same here. After the mem bers of the club had listened lo Mr. Johnson, the presi dent of the New Michigan Building and Loan Astoria tloo of Jackson. Mr. Irving B. Rich, was introduced. That association is the tar Cl purely Building and n Association in the slate, having resources of over 36 million. He stated that there is no reason whatever why one should not prosper in Hastings and prove a helpful factor in our eity's development, to help small income families pur chase homes. A motion was made that the committee be Instructed to proceed to form a Build ing and Loan Association here, and that the Com mercial Club assume re­ sponsibility for the 355.00 expense for incorporation. The committee was lo meet and perfect their work, snd forward the incorporation papers to Lansing. Among those appointed to invest! gate and set up a plan were Charles S. Potts. A.K. Frandsen, Fred W. Steb­ bins, and Henry S. Sheldcn. On April 26.1924 the first charter was granted. Office space and services were rented from the Hastings Commercial Club in the Stebbins Building. The Hast ings Building and Loan As­ sociation was in business with a capitalisation of 3100.000. The incorporating members were elected Di­ rectors with the exception of Mr. Johnson, who felt that he should not be active in the management. The first officers elected were: James S. Ironside, President; Charles S. Mcln lyre. Vice President; A.K. Frandson, Financial Secre­ tary-Treasurer; and Charles W. Clarke. Recording Secre­ tary. Kim Sigler was ap­ pointed Attorney, and Miss Elizabeth Severance Assist ant Secretary Treasurer. AD Officers and Directors serv­ ed without compensation un­ ID May. 1935.

A committee was appointed to report at a later meeting, rules and regulations by which we may be governed, and it is hoped to get into line with the West Michigan Resort Association in adver­ tising this section of the state all up and down the Mississippi Valley.

A former co worker has described Mrs. Decker as "a source of strength to the township" and a person who gave so much of her time to the township and com­ munity. highest in the county. Supervisor Joel Welty said the Prairieville Town­ ship Board has agreed to file an appeal, pending approval of residents al this week's meeting. If the township appeals and win*, he said, taxpayers in the township would save about $70,000. However, it will cost the township between $2,000 and $-‘t.lMM) lo appeal the increased assessments, Wel­ ty estimated. The cost could even be higher if the State Tax Tribunal rejects the appeal and the township decides to lake its case to the Michigan Court of Ap­ peal*. he added. Because of Prairieville's tight budget, if residents agree to appeal, the town­ ship board is expected to propose that its budget be readjusted to eliminate some type of service such as the sewer study for the Gull Lake arcs.

(I Cor. 11281. before partakmg of the Communion This gives us the divine pattern We. too. should scrutinize our faith, and then partake of the Lord’s Supper each and every week. Our sett analysis is intended to determine if we are "in the faith.” God gave us the Bible so we can know how to ptease Him The Scriptures are aUe to "make thee wise unto salvation,'' (II Tim 2:15). They contain "ail things pertaining to life and godliness," III Pot 1:3). The standard today is the same as it was in Jesus' day. for the "faith was once for al delivered unto the Minis." (Jude 3) If we are faithful to Christ, we w« budd our lives by the blueprint of God's Word. Wo must have the same goals as the mon in the New Testament. Our moral standards should equal those God imposed on the first century Christians Our churches should be governed by the guidelines given to Timothy and others. We must teach what the 0-blo teaches nothing more and nothing less-or we are erring in our faith. "Examine yourselves, whether »o be m the faith." Are you driven by the desire to do God's wdl? Are your goals the same as those of Peter and Paul? Is your conduct an example of. and for believers to follow? "Only let your manner of Me be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you. or else bo absent. I may hear of your affairs that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together tor the faith of the gospel."

Mrs. Miller plans to retiro at the end of August. Mrs. Gary Begg is to work with her through August and take the reins on Sept. I. Mrs. Miller has really enjoyed working with the young girls, and al»o with the many volunteer leaders who help her make the program grow. Mrs. Miller remembers when »rtc look over as executive director in 1950. She said she did so at the insistancr of Mrs. Gladys Youngs, who urged her to do so. There were about 75 girls in four or five Camp Fire groups al that lime, and now there are about 400 in many areas nf Harry County ineluding Delton. Nashville and Middleville. Throughout the years of service Mrs. Miller's aim -a­ long with her leaders has been to improve and update the program. Many groups now place emphasis on scientific projects along with regular programs, but never have the girls lost their great interest in the out­ doors. They hive their Camp Fire cabin, which was the old Center Road School which the council obtained iron the School District al the nominal price of 11. The Camp Fire's annual carnival was inaugurated to help raise funds foe improv­ ing the cabin, and now there is a fireplace la one corner, a kitchenette, pan. led walls, s r -modeled bathroom, lower­ ed ceiling and other im­ provements. Ethel and her husband. Duane, plan to live in Florida and now have their home for sale. Ethel, as Ethel Stanton, was married in 1935.

He will also teach social slxdies in the high school. Athletic Director William J. Karpinski said an inten­ sive study was made to obtain a head basketball coach and that Coach Brown has an "outstanding back­ ground in basketball." Karpinski added "He is highly respected by the men that coached him. his fellow coaches, his principal, the assistant superintendent at Benton Harbor who has his college roach, and everyone closely associated with him that we contacted." Coach Brown's Litchfield Class D team was the South ern Cenual Athletic Associ at ion basketball champion in 1974 and ranked sixth in the slate that year. His teams have placed first or second in the conference in 1973. 1974. 1975 and 1976. "He is very versatile as a coach winning the district championship in baseball in 1975 and as a JV football coach he was undefeated in the conference in 1973 and had a 7-1 record in 1975." Karpinski said. Brown, while a basketball player al Chariotte High, was named on the All-State fourth team his junior year and was on the All Stale first team his senior year and was named the Central Michigan Player of the year and was the West Central Conference scoring cham­ pion. Brown received a scholar ship to Michigan State but transferred to Hillsdale College his sophomore year where he wa* captain of the Hillsdale team in 196667 and 1967-68.

City to Preserve Sweazey’s Nature Area For Posterity Sweazey's Pond long an ideal area for people of ail ages to enjoy outdoor serenity is to be continued a* the Hastings Outdoor Nature Area under an ordi nance scheduled for adop tion at the June 14 city council session. The first reading of the code waa held MmWUy al Uw r*msUr tonscil meeting. The 19.15 acres of land, obtained from the Stale of Michigan in the package which also gave the munici palily the former Fish Hat­ chery now Hastings' nt w est park, has been used by the school a* a nature center and under the proposed or­ dinance the school will con tinue to have priority in its uh- during the time school is in session. The area is to be ad min is lered by a board of seven, two Io be nominated by the school board, four to be appointed by the mayor plus one councilman. After their initial term*, replacements will be for three year terms. The ordinance is designed to preserve the area in its present natural state so programs in natural History ami conservation can be developed to stimulate awareness of nature and its u*e for outdoor leisure. Residents of W. Green Street, who had hoped that the (low of traffic would drminish and slow down with the opening uf the new M 43 and M 37 approach to the city from the west, continue to protest the speed of vehicles on the street and Mr*. Oscar Dr-Go* and Mr*. Stephen Ixiftus Monday presented a petition they said was sign­ ed by 98 percent of the residents on the street. “The other two percent weren't home" They asked that the speed limit be lowered from 35 to 25 miles per hour (or the safety of the children. They said slowing the speed might induce some motorists to lake other routes. Chief of Police Richard Sunior. who is also the city's traffic engineer, said a traf fic survey made by radar with an unmarked car show •a that most vohteto* travel under the 35 mile limit. He said 85 percent had an average of 3L3. He recom­ mended the speed limit re­ main at 35 but that the limit for the hospital west to Cook road lx- dropped from 45 to 35. There was a discussion on designating crossing* for children, and also foe stop sign* al Green and Market. Alderman Robert Birke. who lives on Green, said resident* had expected the traffic volumn to drop dra malkally when the new State Street approach was improved, but it hasn't. He said it did get rid of the heavy trucking which shook the houses, but there is still some. Chief Sunior explained the conditions needed to justify a stop sign and said the purpose of streets is to move traffic. Mayor Ivan Snyder said the school buses using Mar ket create congestion and said the buses could go with the traffic control lights on Broadway to help matters. Ill- said the city had recom mended that pattern but drivers go where they want to go. The matter waa referred to committee. Councilmen approved de­ signating the last $77,401 in revenue sharing funds to be used for an office machine and police cruiser, with the remaining $69,401 to be used (or the Washington Street water main project. Hast­ ing* official*, at other*, are hoping that revenue sharing will be continued. Aldermen accepted the $91,566.03 bid of the (low Pipe Company of Hensen ville. III., (or pipe and other materials for the Washing­ ton water main project The low bid was $92,761 but because it didn't meet •pectneatior.*. it was with­ drawn The next lowest bid was $94,298 by Elli* A Ford of Grand Rapids. That didn't meet specifications, either. Director of f’ublic Service* Mike Klovanieh said. The bids were opened al II a.m. Friday. Klovanieh said he had asked the company lor a clarification by 5 that night but the ne* figure* didn't arrive until Monday. There were six bid* tn all. with the highest $100,296. Alderman Ken Howe re­ ported that a contract had been signed with the Hast ing* Ambulance Service, which will take over from the police ambulance about mid June. The city and the First Federal Saving* and Loan Association of Battle Creek are to share the $5,000 eosl of improving the storm sewer on N. Park Street to Apple. Klovanieh said a 12 inch sewer will replace the present eight inch line, and new eatch basis constructed. First Federal is building a branch al Park and Slate, and the present storm sewer is now low enough to service their kits. An alternative would be for First Federal to use dry wells, which would not be as effective. H.G. Simmons Jr., senior vice president treasurer, said not using dry well* would cost the company an additional $2,000. Aidermen denied a re­ quest from the Musk Center I Gill Boutique at 138 W.

The trip was loo tiring for lhe dog and she is having to stay al home this lime. At that time she spent a few day* with Rev. and Mr*.

Since then the ladies of the missionary society have been busy and when she left Hasting* on Sunday it seem ed that every square inch of available space in her "auto" was filled.

Ho was a pood husband and father, and provided weB for hie famdy. He was a fine citizen. He paid his debt* and dealt fairty in business. He loft his family with a comfortable income and a nice home. Many people attended hie funeral and there were lots of nice Hower*. The preacher pointed out many of Joe'* admirable qualities, but ho didn't say much about Joe's hereafter. You see, Joe had never become a Christian. Religion to bin. was for women and kibe children. Ha ignored God in this life end did not seek salvation in Jesus Christ. Ho mode no effort to learn th* w* of God. worship or serve as a Christian should He (rusted tn nt* own goodness to carry him through in the hereafter. "I’m Just as good a* many who claim to be Christian*.'' he said He had no promts* I«* own good works would carry him through, he just figured it that way. But Joo wa* guilty of sin. just a* you and I era. He had done things when he was younger that he didn't Hca to think about anymore, and even when he knew better he still had thought and sa<u things that were not right. Tima wd not take care of Joe's mistake* They w« stdl stand on his record In some ways Joo compared with Corne­ lius. who was a devout and upright man (Acts 10:1-2). But Cornelius recognized that be could not be saved by his own goodness. Ho ncoded to hear and heed words about Jesus whereby ho may be saved I Acts 11:141. Both Cornelius and Joe needed Christ. There is no other name or way whereby we can enjoy eternal Me (Acta 4:12, John 6:68). Joe could have put his faith and trust in Christ and lived a Me committed to the Christian cause. He could have become a Christian by repenting and being baptized for lb* remission of sins (Acts 2:381. But he didn't. He just didn't feel that it was reaBy necessary. Now he’s gone to meet his Maker, and I wonder if he's changed his mind about roligior. since. Joe had provided for about everything except the most important thing. Now it's al over for Joe. At the funeral, however, there were other Joes and Bills and Petes and Sues and Janes. It's not too late for them. They can stfl be concerned about seeking God’s truth in the Bible and coming to Jesus on his terms. We all have an appointment with death. Then, throughout Ml eternity, the only thing that wfl have rae*y mattered is - what did we do with Jesus? "And now why tarries! thou ? Arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins. caKng on H«* name" (Act* 22:16). "Be thou faithful unto death, and I wR give thee tho crown of life" (Revelation 2:101. �1 ■' THE HASTINGS BANNER.

Moro than 100 subscribers disconnected their tele­ phones to protest the in­ crease in December, but many reconnected after the injunction was signed, in­ cluding Mrs. Regis who is a member of the subscribers protest committee. Charles Parker, chairman of lhe committee, said Fri­ day that he waa in a state of total numbness and disbelief after hearing of the court of appeals' decision. "I'm disappointed and dis gusted that the appeals court would even gel involv- Mrs. Daniel (Nancy) Plouffe said, I guess well have to raise a big stink again." She said "I will not pay the increase, and if they (the telephone company) come and take my phone out and I need It for an emer­ gency. Ill sue them." She said "The 54 per cent increase has been nothing but dirt and dirty politics from the beginning. I don't mind paying a fair rate, but our rates arc ridiculous." Another customer, Mrs. Richard Dukoman, said “It looks like all of our work has been for nothing." She add ed that she hopes subscrib er* will continue to stick together. "We'll just have to start over." she said. "Maybe Hile without my phone again," Mrs. Duke­ man said. 'They (lhe com­ pany) have us over a barrel. It wasn't much fun being without lhe phone before," she remarked. Mrs. Uye Booth said she didn't miss being without a phone for four and one half months to protest the in­ crease. "I didn't give a hoot about it," she said. She said she was shocked and disgusted with the rein statement of higher rates and she called the court of appeals decision "kinda dis­ couraging." "I can't understand why the MPSC goes along with lhe telephone company," Mrs. Booth said. "I thought they (lhe MPSC) were sup pose to be neutral." Both the company and lhe MPSC had appealed lhe injunction. The MPSC ap­ peal was denied because the court granted the telephone company's request foe a stay of the injunction.

Prairieville Appeals Tax Assessments Prairieville Township will appeal to tho Slate Tai Tribunal to challenge In­ creased property la* assess ment* and a 16 per cent equalirstion factor. In a voice vote Thursday, ail but three of the approsi mately 80 residents at a public meeting here agreed to protest the State Tas Commission's findings which brought about the increases. Supervisor Joel Welly said the appes' must be filed in Unsing by May 29. Sales studies and appeals als conducted by represents lives of the commission boosted the township's farm assessments by 55 per cent. The commission, Welty said, determined that the township's 385 farm parcels should have a value of $500 per acre and raised lhe 1975 assessment figure of 13.048.010 to $4,728,530 for 1978. "Nothing has changed, it's the same farm land, lhe same buildings, they (the commission' have just set a different value on it." Welty said. He called the increase "brutally large." "Il's not that years of inactively are being eaughl up," Welty said. The town­ ship board of review doubled farm assessments in many cases and tripled a few just three years ago, he said. Based on the commission's findings the township re­ ceived a 16 per cent factor In the Barry County Equalisa­ tion Department's 1976 re­ port which was accepted by the Barry County Board of Commissioners on April 29. Welly said the township will base its appeal argu­ ment that the commission's sales study on farms was inadequate. The commis­ sion. hr said, based its conclusions on only three farm sales which had trans pired during the past three years. He noted that one of the farms in that study was even outside of the town­ ship. Welly said that, in his own sales study, he has found four good valid sales to support that good, tillable farm land should be assessed al only $265 an acre. That value would still raise lhe dollar amount of 1975 farm assessments by one half mil­ lion - which be said he believes is "still too much." "The lax policy of the state of Michigan is driving farmers off the farms," Wel­ ty said. Welly said the township's attorney, Richard Reed of Kalamazoo, said he thinks residential assessments which were increased 11 per cent by the commission might make a good appeal argument too. The township will not challenge commercial and industrial assessments. Wel­ ly Mid.

By VICTOR SISSON We were pleasantly sur­ prised to receive a letter during lhe past week from Mn. Ruth Fisher of Battle Creek, a life long resident of lhe Woodland Area until very recently. We quote a portion of her letter that will be of interest to our readers: "You will be surprised to hear from me. but since selling my home in Wood­ land and moving to Rattle Creek. I look forward to receiving lhe Banner each week and enjoy your newsy items. In reading your item about Carl Jordan and the Wagon Train, I thought I might add a small item of interest. The train went by my granddaughter. Diana Newman's home and we sal in her driveway, a few feel from the road, and watched It go by. but did not know Carl was in it. On Sunday I was invited to a birthday dinner al Diane's husband s mother's home. They asked me if I knew the Mr. Jordan from Woodland, and I told them he was my husbands cousin, and we had lived within a few miles of each other for many years. After dinner they took me out where the tram was camp ing. We found Carl right away, eating his lunch. My granddaughter and Mr*. Newman Sr., look several pictures of Carl and me beside his wagon and horse*. And another coincidence is that Carl's birthday is ju*t a day before mine. I felt real honored to have a relative who wu tho oldest and most respected man in lhe wagon train and to have a small part in such an historical event. It was a day long to be remembered and was truly worth while to see all lhe wagnns. horses and pc. pie. After wishing him gnod health and Godspeed, we left him to continue his long journey.

SCHIRMER Internal Med Physician To Volunteers, Boosted Prices, ‘Luck’ Could Open 4H Pool With volunteer help, in­ crease admission charges and a bit of luek. the 4 H swimming pool at Algonquin lake should be open in June. That was the concensus after a meeting Wednesday. May 26. attended by shout Il was an evening of ideas and discussion, but the group agreed that a board of directors should be formed to oversee the operation of the pool and plan for its continued support. A motion approved by the group Wednesday recom mends a 12 person board, to be named by the 4-H Coun­ cil. The board, as proposed, would include 4-H Council members, representatives from the County Parks and Recreation Commission, and representatives from the public. 4 H Agent Dick Hill said Friday that the 4-H Council will meet Thursday. June 3. to form the pool board of directors. As soon as pos­ sible. Hill will get that board together to determine poli­ cies for the pool. The board will oversee the operation of the pool and ramp, and one of its first jobs will be to hire a camp director. Hill said. The board mny also consider changing the name of the pool, to make it clear to the public that the pool is open for pubWr use. Hill said that about nine or 10 people hav« already offer rd to serve on the board, so he anticipates no problem getting the board formed. He said he is "encouraged* by the public response lo the C problems, and the williess of people to pitch in to help. Work has already started to clean the pool and prepare it for opening. Hill said. As presently projected, the pool will operate in the red this summer unless ex­ pense* can be cut by the use of volunteer help, or revenue increased. 4-H Agent Hill prepared the budget, with the help of Bdl Kirkpat nek. former 4-H agent who retired early this year. The estimated budget an­ ticipates revenue of 12.5*0 from the pool and 12.700 from camp rentala. for a total income of $5270. There is also about $1,350 carried over from last year in the camp fund. Expenses are estimated al $2,150 for pool supplies. $885 for miscellaneous supplies. $3270 foe lifeguard salaries •nd tT.tWO tar director and maintenance, for a total of $8,805 in expenses. The budget estimates are based on the pool being used for swimming lessons four hours a day for seven weeks and the pool open for public swimming from 3 to 5 p.m., 7 days a week. Swimming rate* would be raised to $10 for 10. twohour lessons, and 50 cents per person for a two-hour open swimming period. About 200 people took swimming lessons last year and 1700 swim admissions were sold. Ned Herndon, executive director of the Barry County Red Cross, told those pre­ sent that if they got volun teer lifeguards, be could train them as water safety instructors. One water safety instructor is supposed to be on duty at all times when the pool is in use. Open Practice Saves Daughter, Granddaughter But Hurt Seriously In Hastings Robert G. Schinner.

Characterizing the Demo­ cratic Party as the party of “big spenders," David Mech­ tel. press director for House Republicans in Unsing, ex­ horted party members to work for the election of Republicans at all levels this fall. Mechtel said that the Re publicans must get out the vole to offset the strength of the unions in Michigan, and work to head off apathy among the voters. "Taxes go up because we let them." Mechtel told the predominately-conservative Barry GOP. "We want state government to do too much for us.” Machtel. who serves as spokesman for Republican members of the Slate House of Representatives, said that Democrats vote for more spending, but not for higher taxes to finance their spend­ ing. He said that the House and Senate finance commit­ tees are preparing a state budget 1260 million higher than the governor has re­ quested. "That's the Democratic answer- dump more money into everything and it will all come out better." he chided. Maehte) said he believes that there Is a conservative trend in the country today, which will help the Republi­ cans in November.

Incumbents on Ticket No big changes are ex­ pected on the Hastings Board of Education, with the two incumbents the only candidates for office. That was the conclusion of Board Members John Wal­ ton and Judith Lenz, who met with teachers and mem­ bers of the public for a candidates' night Wednes­ day. Both candidates indicated that they don't expect the board lo make any big changes during the next four years, and both emphasized what they see as good working relationships be ministration and the faculty. Dr. Walton is finishing his eighth year on the board, and Mrs. 1 enz is completing her first four-year term on the board. Attendance was light at the meeting, with only 10 persons there besides the candidates. Most of those present were teachers. The candidates defended teacher salary scales in the Hastings schools, saying that they feel Hastings at­ tracts and keep better quali­ ty teachers, which in turn do a better job of teaching the children. Walton said that it is difficult to prove that better education is taking place, but he feels it is true. He said that testing programs indicate Hastings students are generally above state averages, and the schools work on any areas which Both Walton and Mrs. Leu said they feel that the property tax ia not a fair way io finance the eehoota, and feel that more should be Both candidates also praised the five-year con­ tract with the teachers. Mrs. Lenz commented that “we're getting better education for our students" because the school system is not in a yearly turmoil over teacher negotiations. Walton said that he feels Hastings is “shortchanging the kids" in vocational edu­ cation. because a relatively small system cannot offer vocational training in a wide variety of fields. He said that the failure to approve consolidation with thn Cal­ houn Intermediate School District was the “biggest disappointment" during his time on the board. In answer to a question. Mrs. Lenz said she feels that perhaps teacher tenure is granted after too short a probation period. She sug­ gested either a longer pro­ bation or a doser evaluation of the teacher before grant­ ing tenure, to assure that only the best teachers will be retained in the school system. Mrs. Lenz said she visits schools fairly often, but Dr. Walton admitted he probab­ ly should do more of it. He pointed out that Thursday is the only day he has free time during the day to visit the schools while they are in session. Both board candidates said they favor having pri­ vate and parochial schools as well as public ones, to allow parents and alternative form of education. But they both pointed out that financially, the private schools are hav­ ing a difficult lime, and there are comparatively few things which the public them. �THE HASTINGS BANNER. Mondi;.

Pago 4 EDITORIAL {Back Through The Years] Don’t Let Private Schools (CcmpUed aad Edited by the Hastings WMxea'sCteb) Wither Away in Michigan With the severe limitations on assistance from the public schools system. private and parochial schools in Michigan and elsewhere may be on the way out Tins devastating fact is becoming increes ingfy evident with the closing of parochial schools m nearby cities We understand that the Hastmgs Baptist School and St. Rose School tocalty are having a difficult time financially There are severe ramifications for al of us. whether we ate |us( taxpayers, or whether we are parents of children in school The first pomt rs that every student who ■ forced out of private school and mto pubic school is gomg to cost us more to educate With no extra support from parents, church­ es or other sources, the taxpayers are going to have to pick up the whole tab for these students It rust makes financial sense to assist the private schools to stay m business, on the premise that is cheaper for the state to educate students there than to provide ail the support for them in public schools. There are only a hundred or so students enrolled m private schools m the Hastings area at present, but absorbing them into the pubic schools would add considerable expense to the schools, and might necessi­ tate additional classrooms. But there is also an important philosophi­ cal reason tot supporting the private school concept As parents, we are entitled to a choice m our children's education Some families feel strongly about religious and ethical education, or would just prefer to send their children to schools which have certain educational emphases The only choice a parent can have is Sperls! Delivery -Russell Benton ol 1521 N. Jellerson between the local public school system and private schools There is only one pubic school system, and in many respects it is controlled from the state on down. If you moved to a different school district you would find many similarities. And yet we think competition is healthy, for schools as well as businesses and other rnstitutiona A good private school system would help keep the public schools on their toes, so that they could hold their students. The courts have made it difficult to assist private schools with public money. Politics has also played a part, as some powerful poltcai groups see private schools as a threat to thee political aims. There ■* no logical reason why the state, and die local school districts, should not provide materials and services to the private schools which would be provided to the same students if they wwe in public schools. In no way does providing an Engbsh or math textbook to a parochial school student represent state interference with religion. In the school board candidates' night last week, both incumbents running for the Hastings Board of Education said they thought private and parochial schools serve a purpose, and lamented the fact that the private schools are having a tough time. How much longer are we going to allow our private and parochial schools suffer, while the budgets for our public schools increase? It's time that the citizens of Michigan give some real attention to supporting private and parochial schools It's economical education, and it is a way that parents can have a choice m how theu children are educated brought in Ms picture post card, but we don't have identification for it. Does anyone know? Barry Gives To the Editor: We are hoping the com­ munity will help us in our effort to keep the 4-H pool open.

There is still time to get the ball rolling and the pool ready and operating before summer weather. We need public, as well as 4-H invnlement. People in Barry County worked very hard in the first place to build a pool and now we again have the opportunity to help get the pool operating through a difficult lime. Thank you. Mrs. David G. Main To the Editor: The first 'egal tai revolt in Michigan history has started and I am adding my voice to the other laxpyaer rebies. I am one of 68 members of the Michigan Legislature who are sup porting a non partison peli­ tic-. drive lo pul a proposed onstilutional amendment on the November ballot. This amendment would limit state government taxing and spending ability lo no more than ila current level of 8.3% of the tout personal income in Michigan. This would indude personal in­ come taxes, business taxes, sales taxes, and any other types of taxea or revenues generated by the Slate of Michigan. The amendment would prohibit further tax increases without a vote of the people. Between I960 and 1975. slate government spending increased more than six limes and. at the present rate, will increase another six limes by 1968! In the 196263 fiscal year budget, the legislature appropriat ed 512.5 million dollars....in 1975-76. the amount ap propriated was 3 billion. 53 million dollars. As if the Michigan rest­ dent's tax burden wasn’t high enough already. I now hear rumblings from some legislators and special In I erest groups that we need additional tax increases. Senators Allen (R Alma) and Nelson iDLansing) have in­ troduced a bill to raise the personal income tax rate from 4.6% to 6.6%. Other legislators are saying that since the rate of the new Michigan Single Business Tax is only 2.35%, we should raise that instead! There may be no end in sight unless the taxpayers themselves take action to put a constitutional ceiling on slate taxing power. If we fail to take this opportunity, the special interest group* in Lansing will continue to force our tax burden* higher and higher. They will coo tinue to force businesses and jobs out of the state. Whether you are Demo rest. Independent or Repub bean, if you believe the Slate of Michigan should five on a fixed income the same a* every family must do, this is your chance to make your voice heard. More than 300,000 petition signature* will be needed to put the proposed amendment on the November ballot, but less than •/* of the required signatures have been re­ turned. We need your help. Write to your own legislator or to me at the State Capitol. Lansing, MI 48901, and tell us how many peti­ tions you want sent to you. The petition* must be re­ turned. fully completed or not. before the end of June. Sincerely, Michael H. Coolin Representative - 23rd District $3,425 to Xmas Seals "Al the close of the cam paign. Michigan's 1975 Christmas Seal income reached a total of $573.532.' according to Ford Ceasar. Ijuwing. president of the MLA Central Regional Board. A total of 53,425 was contributed by residents of Barry County, which is part of the Central Region of the Michigan Lung Association. The region, comprised of Barry. Clinton. Eaton. Gra­ tiot. Ingham. Ionia, Livings­ ton and Montcalm counties had a total income of $107.058 including Christ­ mas Seal income and other income, or 94% of its goal. "According to the latest U.S. statistics. 56 billion was spent on health care for respiratory conditions in the paxt year," Ceasar said. "We thank the people of Barry County for their concern about lung diseases and for their contributions." Monies donated to the Michigan Lung Association finance community sen-ices, public health education, and professional education pro grams to unprove the qual­ ity of respiratory care in the stale. THE HASTINGS BANNER 119 West State Street, Hastingx, Michigan 49058 Published every Monday and Wednesday at Hasting*. Michigan 4905* YEAR May 31.1978 > Postage paid Mich MM County; 19 per J ear in adjoining counties; 10 per year elsewhere. Single copy 15 centa. With the May 5th, 1909, issue of THE BANNER, it enters upon its 54th year. THE HASTINGS REPUR IJCAN BANNER was born the first week of May 1856 It saw the light of day under very different conditions from those existing at the (resent time. Hastings was ut a struggling village, without a railroad, its sole communication with the out­ side world being thru a daily stage to and from Battle Creek. The county had be gun to take on the aspects of settled life, but it was still in its pioneer day*. The agita lion against human slavery was then at it* height, and a large concept Ion of liberty and equality was dawning upon inc mind* of men. fl was recognized that Barry County Mould have an oc­ ean C.S. of communication, so f)r. Burton,Norman Bailey and a few other citizens of Hastings, estab­ lished the HASTINGS RE PUBLICAN BANNER in the village of Hastings. Great changes have taken place in the past 53 years. From a backwoods county largely composed of forest land. Barry has become a splendid agricultural county with five railroad lines, with thousands of telephones and with free rural mail de­ livery. Hastings has grown from a mere village to a fine Inland city of 4.500 people, with fine school*, several churches, with paved street*, with an unexcelled water work* system, and with such modern con­ venience* as electric light* and gas. with a carrier system for mail delivery, with splendid factories, and fine business houses. Truly life is worth living in Hast­ ings. The Banner has kept pace with the city's growth. The BANNER ha* tried to stand for thoae thing* that promote the moral a* well a* the material good of the people of this city aad county and to furnish a paper that ia clean, and that stand* for clean things. The BANNER'S aim will be to be a more useful and a better servant of this city and county. So it was oo the BANNER'S 54lh anniver vary in May 1909. May 6.1M6 About 110 years ago Hast­ ings was a very small viflsgr* The only link to the outside was stage lines to Battle Creek, Kalamazoo, and Grand Rapids. There was one buggy whip factory, no daily paper*, and no public water system. For fire protection there was a hand pumper and the water supply consisted of cistern* on Main Stteel. which were fed water from the roofs of buildings-that is. if it.rain­ ed. Disaster hit Hastings in 1886 when a fire was dir covered in the saw mill at Fall Creek (corner of Michi gan 4 State Street). The fire bell was rung and the boy* pulled the hand pumper down to the corner of Michi­ gan Avenue and State Street and dropped the suc­ tion hose into the cistern and started to pump, but there was no water. The fire rapidly spread from the saw mill over to the Hotel locat­ ed where Reahm's garage is at the present time. A call for help resulted in Grand Rapids sending a steam pumper down on a flat car (by this time Hastings was served by a railroad), and thia train made the run from Grand Rapids to Hasting* al better than 60 mile* an hour. Also a pumper was sent from Charlotte. Uncontroll­ ed, the fire had spread into the Spaulding Company building and also into the back of Goodyear's Hird ware Company. With the assistance of the Grand Rapid* pumper and the Charlotte pumper, the fire was stopped at this point. Shortly after thi* disaster, the people of Hastings ap proved a $50,000 bond issue for a water system in Halt­ ing*. May 7,1914 The BANNER reports the work on the new barn being constructed on the Omar Shaw farm in Yankee Springs is going on in a systematic manner. The ce­ ment work haa already been done by James Dibble, of Middleville, assisted by a rorps of helpers. Al this time the timber* and frame work for the building, which will be 40 feet wide and 70 feet long and 18 feet from the floor to th* eaves, is being shaped by the carpen­ ters under the able super­ vision of Anson Boyes of Hastings- The raising of the timber* will be carried on by a regular old fashioned barn raising like they used to have year* ago, the neigh­ bor* being called in for mile* around lo participate in the event. Mr. Shaw ha* engag­ ed the service* of the Ladies Aid Society of the Irving Methodist Church to furnish the dinner for all who take part in the raising, which we understand will lake place some time during the latter part of the month. May 8,191* George Bedford has pur­ chased a new five passenger Ford auto of E.L. Gonyer of Middleville. Mr. Bedford and family were out the first of the week enjoying the new car. Pleasure to be derived from motoring may be class ed as three fold. First of all is the health benefit to be found from the use of the car. Whal is more invigora ling than to get out awsy from the care of work of home and take a ride over road* running past mile after mile of green ps««tire* and beautiful woodland scenery, drinking in th* pure ozone, and enjoying the bright sunshine, all of which are placed her* in the earthy by an all wise Creator for man's benefit and belter menl. May 9,1914 There is a fortune in Gull Lake, so reporta The BAN NER. if the spot could be found and means devised to commercialize the project. Gull Lake is one of the prettiest lakes in Michigan and has more cottages than any other, there being over 300. some of them palatial residences with modem im­ provements, owned by folk* not only in Michigan, but also from southern state*. Thousand* of walnut log*, t wood now of almost price­ less value, lie hidden in fathoms of water. No one know* the exact spot, as the man who held the secret died several years ago. Gull Like was not always the imposing body of water It now is. In the last 60 year* the lake haa risen approxi­ mately 20 feet. James Phil­ lip*. who earned the mail, say* he could walk across the island 45 years ago. On the west side of the lake there was a large walnut grove. A changed course of the lake caused this grove to become inundated with about 18 feel of waler. In the winter the waler froze, breaking off the trees. A man named Hawk brought the steamer Crystal to the lake, and these slump* in the water made him go around th* east side of th* lake, three-quarters of a mile out of his way. Hawks rigged up a saw and spent a whole summer sawing off these logs five feet under waler. This caus­ ed such * sensation that he made money carrying pa* sengerr who came from al) over th* slat*. One day h* made $300. About nine years ago Captain Frank Dutcher took the job of pulling tho stumps out of the lake. In some cases it was necessary to use dynamic*. The log* were taken into deep water and sunk. Every year stumps were seem floating just below th* surface of th* water, but th* majority of them are on the bottom, wsteriogged. bul in good condition. Aa the lake is 360 feet deep In some places and no one know* where lo begin the search, they will probab ly *tay there for several years. class OFTo! Farmer’s Shell Service 102 S.

Residents of Prairieville and neighboring communi lies gathered al the Prairie ville Township Cemetery on Memorial Day to pay tribdle .o the men and women who have made the supreme sacrifice of giving their lives in service to the country. Glen Endsley, vice com mander of the American Legion. Department of Michigan, was the guest speaker al the ceremony He said the occasion provied an opportunity "of rrdcdirating ourselves and our lives to the service of our country and what It stands for....jus lice, freedom, and demo cracy." Endsley is a past cum minder of American lagwn 45 in Hastings and a past commander of the 4th dirt trlet association of the American legion Depart­ ment of Michigan. "To the memory of their sacrifices, on our behalf, lei us pledge the resources of this nation, this stale, and the community of Prairie ville to keep this nation a free nation of free people people foe God and country." he said In his address. Endsley ipoke of the first memorial observance of the war dead in 1886 and bow the idea spread nationwide. For hit closing remarks, he quoted the Rev. James Hayward who said, in part, "For many American homes the wars are part. Viol Nam is past. The boys no longer lie belly down in muddy rice paddies, fingers glued to their rifles. "They no longer stare from barbed wire enclosure* wailing endlessly for the hour of liberation. The screams and shells for them are silenced. They are home again with their families, meeting the day to day problems we all face. "But not all of them are home, and it is with these men that our thoughts d**2 on Memorial Day...no4 with the heroes, not with the returned POW’s. not with the shiny buttoned officers or just plain Gl Joes. "Our thoughts fly to the long wards of military hospi tab where men lie who may never return home. For some of these men the roar of battle will never eease. We pay tribute to them along with our dead war riors on this Memorial Day." "Services al the cemetery, conducted by the American lagton Port >484 of Hickory Corners, ineluded a gun salute to the dead and the placing of wreaths at the monument which honors the men and women who died in service. "laying the wreaths were Bea Zimmerman, part presi dent of unit 484 of the American Iagw»n. and Gwen Young, past president of the Delton Memorial VFW ladies auxiliary. "The services were held after the annual parade through Prairieville which attracted a big turnout of both spectators and partici pants.

Each year my children and 1 have enjoyed watching the Memorial Day parade. It has always been a very nice parade with many groups represented in it. However, every year I have asked myself the same questions. What is th* mean­ ing of Memorial Day? Ar* we still honoring those sol­ diers who have died so thst we might keep our freedom? Or is it merely an excuse to have a day off from work or school? Why do we have our annual Memorial Day pa rade? Is it to show our respect and gratitude to those dead soldier*? Or to It merely to show off our various organtoaaions? if th* answer* to these question* are as they should be ■ that we are showing honor, reeepct. and grati­ tude to the many dead soldiers of our community we are doing a very poor job of it. Why do I say this? As mentioned before, the pa rade is a very nice parade until you gH past Tyden Park. Nearly half of the people marching in the pa­ rade left at this point. Many more dropped out al various points along Slate Road. By the time w* got to the cemetery th* focal point of the Memorial Day parade the only group* remaining were the Legton. the bands, a few Scouta. a few Camp Fire girls and three hike rider*. Each year 1 have been appalled to see so few people al the cemetery. During the service at the cemetery, most of the re­ maining Scout* left, and the bands were busy loading up the busses with a few bandsmen being very noisy and the busses' motors run ning. Because of this con­ fusion. we Camp Fire girls could hear nothing. By the lime the honor guard was firing it* salute, the band busses were roar ing away. There were per hapa 10 to 20 townspeople al the cemetery. Where is your pride, your reipect for these dead soldiers, especially in this Bicentennial year? As I stood there observing the service snd hearing the confusion of a too-early de­ parture by the band I felt anger and then shame at our lack of caring. 1 would like to propose that next year the band remain and even perhaps participate In the service at the cemetery and that a loud speaker system be set up so the service could be heard by many people.

Baldwin arrived in the village Saturday and after seeing the old acquain lances here will go to Hast­ ings for a visit with her brother. John L. Williams. Mrs. Baldwin is one of the old pioneer* of thia part of the state, having come to Michigan with her father when a girl of nine year* of age in 1846. She came with her parent*. Mr. and Mr*. John H. William* from La­ grange. Ohio, their emi­ grant wagon forming a part of the ealvacade, there being in addition a single wagon and a buggy la rare thing in those day*). The trip from Ijgrange, Ohio, was made by way of the old Indian trails and fords, and it took them 10 day* to make th* trip to th* Bechtel town voer on the east aide of Duncan Ijke in Thnrnapple town ship. The parly came through Jackson. Marshall, and Gull Prairie up to the famous hostelry of Yankee Bill Lewi*, where the travel­ er* were welcomed and par look of a sumptuous dinner, wending their way from thence over the roads to the shores of Duc.can lake, where the party arrived at about ten o'clock in the exening. After a residency of one year close by Duncan Lake, her father moved with his family to the northern part of Orangeville town­ ship, and lived in a log bouae at a place nearly across the road from where Ed. O'Con­ nor now lives. Mrs. Baldwin will be 78 years of age on October 5th. should all wise providence see fit to let her live that tong. Reaiiring she has been spared to a good old age and that there to no telling how tong the span of life may be. Mrs Baldwin tered at th* hotel. They spent the day loafing about the village and In the park. No one thought that these two well dressed young men were burglars. The next morning it was discovered that three stores had been entered by prying open the front door*. When Sheriff Williams heard of the rob bcrics, he at once suspected the two strangers of the crime* and regretted that their presence in the village on Sunday had not roused suspicion. He al once sent descriptions of the men to officer* throughout the state and was notified on Tuesday morning of the capture in Sparta of the men who had committed the burglaries. May 13,1939 It was nearly 40 years ago that the late Charles l«onard. mayor of Hasting*, was driving south on Broad­ way. entering the City of Hastings. Crossing the Thnrnapple River, he ob served the ugliness of large billboards, a couple of old shack*, and a tangled mass of unsightly trees, brush and weeds. Il was a sad sight! Al that moment Mayor l«conard decided to propose to the City Council the idea of making a park out of the area. Further investigation showed that the unused land beyond the frontage lots belonged to Emil Tyden. Hasting* induslrailist. A meeting between Mayor lavnard and Col. Tyden was arranged anil it was reveal ed that Col. Tyden also had In mind the idea of a city park on thi* site. From then on thing* began to happen. Col. Tyden bought up the front lot* and in the spring of 1938 the land, measuring 10 and one half acres, was conveyed to the city of Hastings, to be used as a park for the "Citizens of Hatting* and the 1‘ublie in General." No commercial en­ terprise cnuld be built upon it. The land was cleared of all debris. Down came the billboards and the shacks. Grading built up the rear part of the park and stoped the lard gently towards the river bank. It was a slow process but in 1941 the landscaping contract was let and finally ir. 1942 the park was opened to the public. Col. iydra watched over th* park's development with pleasure until his death In 1951. �THE HASTINGS BANNER. Wednesday. June 2. 1976.

Worship is a production of the tieart and in it there must be action Worship is the response of man s heart to the invitation of the Father Too often we have thought of worship in the same way we regard a movie. We think ol oursetves as spectators, the preacher as the main periormer end God on the sidelines In true worship, God « the observer and object of worship. All the worshippers, including the preacher, are participants, seeking to engage st that □duration wfweh ts acceptable of God From tfve earliest days of man we find that there is some worship that God writ not accept. ft ia not men's attempts to reach God that please Hirn, but men's obedience m offering to God what He has asked of them Cam's offering was refused (Gen 4 51 because it was not what God asked for.

A panel of three court of appeal* judges reversed an Ingham County Circuit Court injunction suspending lhe rate increase.

Subscribers to Appeal To High Court Customers of the Hickory Telephone Co. will take their case to the Michigan Su­ preme Court to fight for a rollback of a 54 per cent rale increase. Attorney Philip Hummer, who represents the »ubscriber*’ protest committee, said Saturday that subscrib­ ers will appeal the Michigan Court of Appeals' decision last week which reversed an Ingham County Circuit Court injunction granting a temporary rollback of the increase. The court of appeals' ac­ tion permits the company to collect the higher rates which had been authorised in November by the Michi gan Public Service Commis­ sion (MPSC). However, the Court of Appeals determined that lhe company must post a bond to guarantee refunds, with interest, if the MPSC re­ hearing of the case should result in lower rates. Hummer said the sub­ scribers' appeal will be filed with the Supreme Court within 20 days. The bad* for the appeal, he said, will be that the MPSCs November order i* unlawful ind that payment of the higher rate under l»»nd is inadequate.

He repeated this 10 or 12 times while the lines impatient rose to a cresc- ndo. He remained per fectly calm. I was shattered. Il goes without saying that Karen Eckman, serving in the teacher's dining room appreciates lhe quiet dignity of lhe relaxing teachers. Many Food Service work­ ers are women who have children in school. H's a good way to keep an eye on them too. A sort of working P.T.A. Any problems that crop up can often be spotted at the source and corrected before they get out of hand. A good deal of planning goes into every holiday but the kids have come to expect big things from Junior High workers al Halloween. The disguises have been so funny and original that they made the local paper a couple of times. Helen Martin and Huth Dalman are lhe undis­ puted champs. Student Hat Day would be a disappointment to lhe kids if we didn't al least pin a square of tin foil on our heads. Thanksgiving brings out plenty of pioneers and tur­ keys but the big deal is Christmas which starts gearing up the day after. Decorations come first. San­ tas in all sizes appear in every classroom. Innumer­ able parties and banquets are planned and lhe creep­ ing poundage suffered throughout the school year by F.S. workers snowballs out of control. . ... Red hearts abound on Valentine's Day. lai’t year Beverley Lumbert received a life size poster of Tiny Tim from Helen Marlin which Tom Gibson obligingly hung behind the steam table in the gym. The kids were puzzled. "Hey, you guys dig Alice Cooper?" In any case they had us all pegged as l-iwrencr Welk fans. St. Patrick's Day brings out the Irish in spades, leprechauns and clovers a dorn the walls and the cake is all lime green but the over. Mr. Cooklin wisely vetoes a cute suggestion on coloring the whipped pota toes green. Perhaps a sprig of parsley? April FooTs Day is a nerve wracking experience as lhe students get playful. Shoe strings are checked before picking up any large pans of gravy. The menu is Tube Steak (hot dogs). Shinny Potatoes (shoe siring). Gold Coins (carrots). 0J. or Moo When tacos were tried for the first time most children loved them. Even brought extra money for seconds. Hut the workers trod care­ fully. Sluffing those delicate shells with meat, shredded cheese and lettuce to hun­ dreds of kids without shat­ tering too many shells is tricky. There’s not too much you can do with broken taco shells. This school year I became a regular. I take money and tickets down in the gym in Junior High from mouths, deep in pockets, sticking out of fork tines or from around the have of the milk crates where “I know I must have dropped it.” Have you ever tried lo pry a dime loose from the corner of a Mickey Mouse purse? Or break open a plastic bag of pennies? You can't just lake lhe ticket cither. You have to check the size, day and color for phonies. I've seen 45c in every denomination. One day when I asked a little boy wanting seconds if he'd had his lunch yet, he looked indignant. "I'm the one who gave you the 2 quarters!” Pizza day is a favorite with lhe kids but I end up taking for regular dinners on one side and “seconds” on the other with little ones pulling on my skirt "You forgot to give me a straw." I vow it will be my last day then little Gail? hands me a drawing made just for me. Or Kathy gives me a valen­ tine and every day Scott shows us how well he clean­ ed his tray up. 1-ast Christ­ mas our student helpers look up a collection for presents. It's the first time a box of chocolate-covereu cherries ever brought tears to my eyes. They went to lhe extra trouble of finding out what each woman liked. Recently. Mr. Cooklin tried out varied menus giv­ ing the children a choice. For a time this meant some r-ould be disappointed when we ran out of their choice. This precipitated a few phone calls from irate mothers. Feeding hundreds of children daily, avoiding too much waste is a big enough job without guessing what each feels like eating any given day. All Mr. Cooklin can do is have each school make daily counts of the demand and aim for accuracy with as little waste as possible. The Sport's Banquet in May is when the awards and letters earned during the year are given out. There are always F.S. workers present who are guest par ents while juggling some work behind lhe scenes. Graduating seniors finish out Lhe school year in a flurry activities of which Fj. takes a deep interest. The goodbyes are sad. and so clean up day ar­ rives with everyone making plans for the summer. Who can beat a three munth vacation? Besides, ill! take that long to calm our nerves and slim down for next year's holidays and ban­ quets. Photo. by Earl Cooklin CAFETERIA LINE at Junior High.

Other members of the commlaslonaro Edgar Baeke. Carlton; Allen Bis bop, Hope; Larry Carpenter. Assyria; Gerald Endres. Carlton, and Carl McRvain, Baltimore Township. A resolution thanking the previous chairman. James Humphrey of Orangeville Township. -for his leader ship and devotion" was read into the minutes. A requested study on the wetlands In Barry County was presented by Kensinger Jones. It was based on previous documents con­ cerning the Grand River Basin and the KalamaiooBlackMacalawa and Paw Paw Basin. The study indicated that while greet concern over wetlands preservation has been expressed for a num­ ber of years, little action has been taken. Possibilities for preservation under private ownership exist under P.A. 116. the Farmland and Open Space Conservation Act. Owners of swampy areas, bogs and marshes that fur­ nish vital wildlife habitat are urged to Investigate the possiblity of qualifying such land under this Michigan legislation. In addition, the Planning and Zoning Commission passed the following motion: "In order to further the preservation of wetlands in Barry County, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommends a maximum 860 per acre assessment on pro­ perly identified wetlands that conform to DNR stanards. Thia recommendation b to be forwarded to the Barry County Board of Com missionera, the County Board of Equalization, the Township Supervisor and Chairmen of Township Boards of Review, the State Tax Commission and the Supervisor's Association." Other possibilities for wetland - reservation are through public acquisition as state and county parks. Con­ siderable acreage has been conserved in the Yankee Springs area and at Charlton Park. Despite this estimates The Cham pious-Noct heart­ ens School held its annual fourth grade spelling contort and after Mere than 700 words, the winners were determined. Mrs. Grace indicate that if population growth continues and no further preservation mea sures are taken the wetlands area in the county could diminish by 50% in ten yean. According to conser­ vation authorities the cost In terms of fur bearing animals, ducks and other acquatie life would be in estimable. The Commission also dis­ cussed a communication from the State's Historic after this school year, proud­ ly look. st Peter Halnoe, Grant Coordinator indicat­ ing the availability at funds for historic site preservslion and renovation Township fled of this program.

Middleville's The position taken by the Detroit office of the Depart­ ment of Housing and Urban Development has caused Barry County to discontinue its effort to obtain federal funds for housing rehabilita­ tion throughout the county. In an attachment to a letter recently sent to Or­ ville Hammond, chairman of the Board ol Commissioners, a HUD official staled that “a county wide rehabilitation program is not acceptable." The letter waa referred to the County Planning and Zoning Commission which has drafted the following reply for forwarding to the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. "We do appreciate the opportunity of submitting a full application and occupy­ ing a "back-up" position in the event that Calhoun County fails to submit, or is disapproved for a Commu­ nity Development Block Grant. "We have, however, de­ cided not to pursue the matter because of the provi sion indicated in Attachment A under Special Conditions, which stales “a county wide rehabilitation program is not acceptable." Section 570.200 (a) (4) Is cited as the author­ ity for the statement. "By it's very nature this restriction and interprets tion of the law is discrimina­ tory. Il makes Block Grant money unobtainable to hun­ dreds of counties where rural housing is substan­ dard. dors need rehabilita­ tion. and where the prob­ lems are far different than they are in metropolitan rreas whore poverty is con­ centrated In definable boun­ daries. That the riral elderly and poor should Oe barred from participating in a fed­ eral housing rehabilitation program seems unfair, if not unconstitutional. A carefid reading of 570.200 and 570.303 allows us to believe that interpretation, rathe, than tbe letter of the law. is being used to block county­ wide participation in tbe program. to apply for a grant. Any monies allocated to Barry County could do much to alleviate the further de­ terioration of rural housing, as well as the living con­ ditions of the poor and elderly. These people, how­ ever are scattered over a 504 square mile area and in sixteen different townships. The single small city in the county. Hastings, made separate application for a grant. “There must be many areas, throughout the na­ tion. where similar condi­ tions exist. Therefore we are asking the Secretary of Housing and Urban De­ velopment. as well as our Congressmen and Senators to review the aforesaid re­ striction. We hope such a review will open the way for future application for the much needed funds requestrd for our Operation ReJu venation." “Il haa also been recom mended that this statement be sent to Barry County's Representatives and Sena tors in Washington, and to the Southcentra) Michigan Planning Council. "While Barry County was one of the few government units in Michigan invited to* submit a full application for funds, the Planning and Zoning Commission has elected to withdraw rather than expend time and money in completing the complicat­ ed paper work.” Kensinger Jones, who headed the task force that prepared the pre-applieatioo for the Planning and Zoning Commission states: "To qualify, we'd have to change our own ground rules and concentrate all assistance in a single community. That would be unfair to the rest of the county. Rather than go along with the idu that only urban substandard housing is eligible for federal rehabi­ litation help, we've chosen to slick with the original Intent of tbe appLcalioa. Thai's to seek help for people throughout the county who are properly eligible lor such help" WANTED! row emo Heads B.C.

The story reports that during the elec­ trical storm Thursday mor ning Henry Withey saw smoke issuing from the place where electric light wires entered his barn. When he entered the barn to lake out the horse both he and the animal began to quick step because of some mysterious force. Mr. Withey and sev­ eral others attempted to go upstairs and the antics they cut up on the steps made the bystanders laugh. The cause was soon discovered. The transmitter, being burned out by lightning, the current became grounded, charging the sheet iron which covered the entire building. Orvey Haywood, who drives the fire team appeared with a hose, but it was unnecessary to throw water as the fire went out. No one could enter tie barn till the wires were eut. So were the hazards of modern conveniences In 1909. trash barrels strategically located downtown for thia purpose and I feel that an increased respect for our dty la needed to solve the May 15.1910 Hastings is to have anoth er musical comedy which will be presented at Reed's Opera House June 4 and 5 under the auspices of St. Rose Parish. The opera is under the persona) direction of Miss Rulh L. Weissert. who will also ting the title role. Tbe delightful story of Miss Cherry Blossom" fur nishes a most pleasing theme for a musical comedy and the play la full of bright catchy aonga, artistic arenas and comedy hits. Some of the best musical and drama­ tic talent in the city will appear in "Mina Cherry Bios som“ and every effort will be made to produce the best mwrteal remedy ever wit­ nessed in Hastings. May 18,1918 Under date of May 18. 1918. The Banner announces that Roy Goshorn. proprie tor of the Strand, with hia characteristic enterprise, has secured Mary Pickford, the universally favorite movie star, tor Thursday and Friday evenings. May 16th and 17th, with Thure day afternoon matinee. Mias Pickford will appear in "Stel­ la Maria." dramatized from the famous novel. For the first time in her carver, she Will appear in a dual role, playing tbe part of Stella Maris, a sweet, gentle girl, and Unity Blake, tbe ugly and deformed orphan. Through a trick in photo­ graph;, both characters will be shown on the screen at the same time, and effects are obtained which have never heretofore been at­ tempted successfully. Crowded houses always greet Mary Pickford's ap­ pearances here, and it will be well for those wishing good seats to be on hand early. May 17.1922 According to the May 17lh. 1922. issue of The Hastings Banner, three inches of rain fell la a little over a half hour, raising havoc with streets, clogging sewers and flooding base ments. Charlie Kerr of Fish Hound fame, even has his automobile trained so that when it reaches a body of water it will stop. A fter the cloudburst Thursday after­ UKEONUA noon West Green Street at the corner of Market waa a ventable lake. As Charlie was driving tn on West Green street and struck thia young lake, splashing water evidently landed in the dis tribulor and the car stopped out in the middle of the pond where the wiUr waa 15 to 18 inches deep. There he sat like a stranded Noah, as the little flivvers passed by. and the drivers adding to his dtocomforture by giving him the merry "ha. ha." How long he would have remain ed is only conjecture. but Burdette LyBarker happen­ ed along, threw out his gang plank, and took Charlie a­ board.

She gave a short description of each of our island posses sioos and tbe methods used or the events that transpir­ ed to make them United Slates territory- Th* second subject. “True Hospitality­ Simplicity vs. Display" was presented by Mrs Edith Osborne. She defined bcapitahty as not merely the entertaining ol and sharing with guests, friends and strangers, but it also means the spirit in which these hospitable arts are dooe. Mrs. Burch again kindly favored tbe dub with a solo,. "A Nocturne" accompanied by Mrs. Hatch. The last paper of the afternoon, "The Story of Some Famous Pic­ tures" was given by Mrs. Sadie Cook.

I am one of the many people that waa sentenced from him and I do and alot of other people think it waa a very unfair sentence.

The Supreme Court u>d that Mikesell is ■grossly lacking" in judicial temperament. Mikesell is eligible to run for reelection, although he cannot occupy the bench until the suspension is up. "I feel that the voters of Eaton and Barry Counties want the kind of firm, fair and impartial justice, which I have provided for them since my election in 1970". Judge Mikesell said in a prepared statement. Judge Mikesell said that he tried to protect Us rights of both lhe defendant and the prosecution In cases before his court. He review­ ed his actions of more than three years ago. when he did not accept plea bargaining done by county prosecutors, and ordered them to try cases which they had begun. He also referred to his questioning of witnesses, which he said be did to further lhe interest of jus­ tice. even when attorneys failed to handle the cases adequately. The plea bargaining ques­ tion has been settled, be­ cause higher courts have ruled that plea bargaining is acceptable. Judge Mikesell said. In recent years, he noted, he has been more careful in his questioning of witnesses, to be sure that he asks only questions which will encourage an impartial trial. Judge Mikesell made his announcement at a press conference in Charlotte, at­ tended by about 30 news­ men and others. Two TV stations covered the confer­ ence. The Hastings Banner was the only news medium from Barry County to attend ths conference. Mikesell said that the Supreme Court had made its decision based on only five cases, all heard In 1971 and 1972. He said that the cases represented only about one percent of all the criminal cases he has heard, and noted that none of lhe hundreds of civil cases he has heard were cited. The judge said be was "accused by a small group of young attorneys" of miscon duct. He claimed that many more experienced lawyers appreciate him for the firm way be runs his court. The Supreme Court's de­ cision to suspend Mikesell followed a recommendation from the State Judicial Tenure Commission that Mikesell be removed from the bench for being "grossly lacking in judicial tempera­ ment and the impartiality required of one holding judi rial office." The commission also found, however, that Mikesell has a great deal of Integrity. Predicting that the voters will return him to office. Judge Mikesell said "I think Eaton County. The two top vote getters will run in the November general election. The other candidates are Daniel R. Maher of Eaton Rapids. Charles R, Stiles of lansing and Hudson E. De ming of Grand Ledge. Mikesell said that be and the man who was Eaton County prosecutor had a "philosophical difference" for a short time after he took office in 1971. l-ater prose cutors in Eaton County and Barry County prosecutors have had no such conflict with him, ho said. Judge Mikesell said he is asking the Supreme Court for a re hearing to clarify some matters pertaining to his suspension, especially the question of whether he ran practice law while be is still technically a circuit court judge. He said that he has no other way to support his family while he is under suspension from lhe bench.

Judge Mikasatl has made the ctosscaifr democratic move and appealed to tho people to decide who they want for judge, and how they want thee courts run. Aa reported earlier in this column. The Hostings Banner ia not pleased with the Supremo Court decision on Judge M.kesall The court declined to rule clearly whether or not Mikesell is a competent judge. In doing so. the high court cast doubts upon the quairty of justice in hts court, and was unfair, wo feel, to the judge himeoif. He should either have been exonerated or removed. Since tho Supreme Court didn't do the job. the people w« have to. It s unusual to have a race for a judgeship like this one This is not ordinary situation of partisan poetics intruding on the courts This race is a matter of prtndpte. both for Judge Mikesell himself and his detractors. Although doubts have been cast or. his judicial temperament, no one has doubted Judge MAoeeiTs honesty and integrity. In fact, the Judicial Tenure Commission, which recommended hie removal from the bench, made epeeifie m«nton of hrs high integrity. As Judge Mikesei sees it. he is try.ng to run an impartial court in a businesslike manner. Ho told Tho Banner that he does not intend to allow the attorneys or anyone else run his court. He wants to give all sides a thorough hearing, but not waste a lot of time. Tho use of time to crucial In Eaton County, where the caseload to much heavier than Barry County, and 2 judges must share one courtroom. Mikoeoi says he can't afford to lot attorneys waste a lot of time in his court The judge commented on several aspects of he case in his news conference last week. But the outstanding point that came across is that he to running his court the way he thinks to best. The judge's supporters argue that ho to a "tew and order" judge, and that's a popular cause these days. M-keseH himself might disagree with that evaluation, because ho thinks ho to being fair to alt But he also bekeves that chronic criminals must be dealt with firmly, Tho judge's detractors say that ho to unfair to defendants and their attorneys. doos not hold he temper, and hands out unnecessarily harsh sentences. It's not hard to hear some horror stories from defendants who fool that they have been badly treated in his court. This is going to be a tough election to decide. The issues are going to get over simpkfiod Many people will be voting who have little or vo personal knowledge of the judge and his court What Is worse, now that tho judge has now been removed from the bench, to that no one can observe ha judicial performance between now and November. If you've never seen the judge in action, you won't:«.» the chance now. tt would have been easy for Judge Mikesell to step aside and leave the court seat up for grabs It probably would have been more profitable for him. too. since he could then concentrate on private practice and not waste his time and money in an election campaign But Mikesell- whether you like him or not e a man of principle. As he commented. I've never backed eway from a contest." We hope that the other candidates win make themselves as well known as Judge Mikesell Only if they present themselves wed will the people be able to make an intelligent Democracy to not a simple form of government. REVIEW Good Pei formers Can’t Save Opener at The Barn By HUGH FULLERTON Banner Publisher A thoroughly competent, professional cast took one of the worst scripts ever written for the stage, and couldn't make a hit out of it. The disappointment took place opening nrght last Tuesdav st the Barn Theater, near Augusta. Tho show, billed as a comedy, was called "Habeas Corpus". Fortunately, the corpus has disappeared, because by the time you teed this, the venerable playhouse will have another comedy. "Not Now. Darling" ready to open. The play itsotf was a complicated bit of froth about who to romantically interested in whom. But lhe plot was just a meaningless vehicle for a series of hopefully funny one-liners and implausible situation* Many of them fell flat. It was unfortunate that such a good cast had such poor material with which to work. It was evident that lhe performer* in all the top roles are real proa, with a lot of experience. They were obviously working very hard to make something out of that script, and did succeed In spots. Nevertheless, in 30 season* the Barn ha* bu9t a good following. and the seat* wore filled for the opener. Producer Jack Ragotry, In his curtain speech, promised another season of laugh*, music and fun. and that's what keeps ’em coming beck to the Bam. It was evident, in the conversation at intermission and following the show, that the regular patrons are looting forward to better things. For one. the popular historical show "1776" opens June 22 for 2 weeks. That's a show with some real meat In it. from comedy to drama to good music. If the cast to equal to the one we saw last week, it should be a winner. Te the Editor: In reading lhe announce meat of Helen Root's candi­ dacy for Stele Represents five from Michigan's 55th House District. I realised that her continuing activity in politics both locally and state wide was not mention­ ed. After waiting two weeks for additional information to be published and not finding it in The Banner. I decided it was time lo write. As a fnend of Mrs. Root. I am aware that she haa been actively Involved with lhe Democratic Party for 25 years. During thia time she has served on the State Central Committee for eight > ears, ha* been on Officer at Large for the alate party for two years, has been vice­ chairperson of the Barry County Executive Commit lee. held several offices in Democratic Woman's dubs, has worked on numerous campaigns and has spent many hours preparing and delivering requested speech­ es on a variety of subjects. She is familiar with the intricacies of politics, not merely an "interested wife and mother" as impbed in The Banner.

Half of the cost of the Back Through The Years ICempMaad Edited by the Hastings Womens'CM) May 19,1910 Two well-known enthusi­ asts in canoeing, Walter Phelps and Verne MiUer. broke all known records via river between Hastings and Grand Rapids Sunday when they paddled from this city to the Valley Qty in ten and one half hours. It Is claimed that the distance between the two cities by lhe water route to about 100 mile*. The Eiou* known record wa* by W.W. Potter and R.W. Rogers, who made lhe trip in a slightly longer time. The young men left Hastings at four o'clock. They arrived al Irving at 5:45; at Middle ville at 8:80; al LaBargv at 8:27. They arrived al Ada, the con fluence of the Thorn­ apple and Grand river* at 11:40. After passing into the Grand River they encounter­ ed a strong head wind and found paddling difficult com red with the ease they had descending lhe swiftlyflowing Thornapple. They arrived in Grand Rapid* at 2:30 o'clock. En route they shot dams at Hastings, Irv ing and Alaska.

May 22,1922 WORK HAS BEEN STARTED ON THE NEW PENNOCK HOSPITAL. Thia headline in THE HASTINGS BANNER an rounces the beginning of excavation work for the new Pennock Memorial Hospital on the beautilul six-acre* site donated for that pur­ pose by the late Chester Messer and his brother, Richard. The building com miltea together with the representative* of the Barry County Hospital Association and the board of Lady Manager* of the hospital, met at the site and selected lhe spot where the building is to be erected. The new hospital will have a norma! capacity of 80 patients, but should the emergency re­ quire. a total of 40 can be cared for. Pennock Hospital will be a credit to this city and county in every way. May 23, IMS Boom times in Lake Odes m are recalled in The Hast ing* Banner. It seems that rumors were circulsting that a new railroad wa* to go through the southern part of lhe county, and two shrewd men made a bid for wealth in securing property in the vicinity of the proposed line. The principal part of Lake Odessa stands today on this property, many of the apple tree* now in the town being a part of lhe original orchard on the tract. The principle part of the town was platted in June. 1887. and lhe people whose land adjoined got the fever and everyone platted. People were impressed and rushed in something akin to western boom town methods, most of the lots selling for 9100 each. People lived in tents and shacks while the main street was graded, and buddings and home* started. The railroad wa* completed in the fall of 1887. and people believed there was a great future for the town. For five years it enjoyed a great boom but gradually settbd down to a normal condition and then its destiny as just a pretty, enterprising, thriving little town became apparent May 24.1922 According lo The Hast ing* Banner of May 24th. 1922. Nashville'* city fathers have assigned a place on lhe southwest corner of Putnam park for a camping ground for lhe accomodation of auto­ mobile tourists driving through and who wish to spend lhe night there. Its one of the finest way* to secure good advertising for your city that will be carried broadcast through the coun try. for "Seeing America by Auto" with camping outfit attached, to growing more in favor every year, and to a feature of our American life that has come to stay. Michi­ gan. with its many lakes and northern resorts, draws un­ usually well in lhe way of summer touring. May 25.1892 The Hastings Banner 54 years ago reports that on June 6th, the Hastings Wool Boot Company will ship out a special train load of felt boots, consisting of 18 ears. It will be the largest shipment of wool boot* ever made by any institution in the world at one time. AU of lhe 18 ears will be decorated with bunting, flag* and placard* advertising both lhe institution and lhe name of lhe city. A* we have said before, the train will consist of 18 freight cars, and will carry about ''0,000 pairs of felt boot*. Il will go from here to Chicago and will travel the entire distance by day light. work on Lammers and Wert­ man Road is being financed by money appropriated by the Board of Commissioners.

I understand the pioneers considered it "Taxation without representation" but the modern version is "ob­ taining money under false pretense." WLcn a public officer goes to the public and collects public money and then turns it over to a private use that becomes a missappropriation of funds which is a penitentiary of­ fense.

Customers must now find spaces in the public parking lot oo the north side of the street, which is often full and always busy. When customers do find space there, they are forced to cross Court, needlessly increasing pedestrian traffic on a busy street in areas with no marked cross walks. It was pointed out that none of the businesses have back door entrances and because parking is at a premium, unauthorized vehicles continually use pri­ vate space rented on the Fisher property. The request was read by Alderman William Burr and it was referred to Public Safety & Parking Commit toe. The referral brought a comment from Mayor Sny­ der that the chief of police as the traffic engineer might have been the proper place for the referral.

Mayor Sny­ der suggested that dispatch­ ing ambulance calls through the Hastings Fire Depart ment. as is done also with fire calls, be terminated at the end of June. With Irving out of the local ambulance program, costs to those re­ maining increased, Snyder reasoned. Thornapple Supervisor Marc Squire and Fire Chief Bob Kenyon hart asked that the arrangement bo con­ tinued.

Cusack said there are plans to meet with persons concerned with keeping the local field open beyond the 90 days from July 1 approv­ ed by the council, but that the outlook obtaining addi tional funds for the field was "bleak."

Parker, proprietor of tbe hotel here, has opened his dining, lounge and parlor rooms to the public for the first lime since tbe war. This service was discontinued then because of the scarcity of suitable help. According to present arrangements, the hotel will serve regular 50-cent dinners during the week and a special 75<ent chicken dinner on Sunday. A special parlor for women and a smoking room for men will be available at all times in addition to other lounge rooms. Mr. Parker is taking particular pains to maintain a high standard of cuisine. May 29.1922 P.A. Sheldon reports in the Hastings Banner of May 29. 1922. that tbe bequests of Ebenexer and Alvira Pen­ nock of 210,000 each, will with accumulated interest amount to fully 926,000 when turned over to the Barry County Hospital As­ sociation. Mr. and Mrs. Pen­ nock'«ft no children of their own, but they will have left an enduring monument to themselves in the fine hospi­ tal that will bear their name and carry its benefits to generations yet to be. May 30.19H According to The Hast ings Banner of May 30.1914. Decoration Day is a purely American institution coin memorating the sacrifice made by our patriotic sold­ iers, who bore arms in their country's defense. The line of veterans is becoming thin­ ner as the years go by. So that even now it is necessary for all to set aside the work and cares and help out with the observance of this day. Il is an interesting bit of local history to know that reposing in tbe cemetery at North Irving are the re­ mains of aoldiers who fought in the five principal wars in -.hich our country has been involved. Amos Ingraham was a soldier of the Revolu­ tionary war and a . plain marble slab near the en­ trance to the grounds attest to the fact by the simple words of the following epitaph: "Amos Ingraham, a soldier of 76." Three vete­ rans of the War of 1812 known as Mr. Second War with Great Britain, lie buried at this place, via: Jones Matthews, grand­ father of James Matthew* of North Irving; also Robert McClintock and Isaac Hen dershott; one soldier of the war with Mexico In 184648, James Darling, rests in this quiet city of tbe dead. Of those who fought in the great Civil war more than twenty-five brave soldier* are resting here, while one soldier of the late war with Spain repose* at thia place. We can live the rest of the year better for having paus­ ed al least, if for only one day. to remember those who fought to keep the union intact. It is not only a duty that we owe to the boys in blue but it should be consid­ ered a* an honor to lake part in a proper observance of the day. PLEASANT. MUD LAKES GROUP Jean Tedrow, secretary, ha* announced that the an­ nual meeting of the Pleasant and Mud Lake* Association will be held at tbe Delton Fire Hall Saturday. June 26. at 9:30 am. Te tbe Editor Dear President Feed: Before voting for you in the next election I have one question I would like you not your aide* to answer. Why was Edward Levi given the position of Attor­ ney General with this back ground? 1. Was president of Rocke feller founded University of Chicago where he had been faculty advisor to a group which formally declared it* commitment to the “idea!!* tic" planks of a national organ nation founded by the Young Communist league. 2. He ducked the war in the infamous anti trust 'divi sion of the Justice Depart menl. where soviet agent* Alger Hiss and John Abt had broken ground a* assis tint attorney* general. 3. He supervised the Chi­ cago Round Table broad casta which featured leading radical* and communist fronler* including the facul­ ty advisor to the local Commu nisi Club. 4. He joined with the Communist* in actively cam paigning for clemency for the Rosenbergatom spies. 5. He set up a project to bng a thousand American juries. 6. He was a member of the National Lawyer* Guild of finally cited a* "the fore most legal bulwark of the Communist Party." 7. He admitted under in­ vestigation by the Senate Internal Security Subcom mittee that aa dean of the University of Chicago law School he personally select ed and was then employing as head of hi* tew library, a man previously identified in public sworn testimony a* a member of the Communist espionage underground and ol the Sdvermaster spy cell. This is the man who is in charge of all wire lap*, domestic surveillance of sub­ versive* and enemy agent*. In charge of all security prosecution, in charge of the F.B.I. itself. He is also backed by Nehms Rockefel­ ler and Frank Church. Il make* the investiga­ tions into the CIA and FBI a big expensive farce. Please let n-r hear from you regarding this. Thank you. Mrs. EJ. Borner 3985 Morgan Road Nashville. Mich. 49073 Te Um Editor: What is a generation gap? Well if any of you listen to the Hastings City Council Meetings on WBCH you'll know! The Mayor is sure show­ ing us what it is. He feel* the Young Councilmen are in­ adequate and incompetent in making decisions of our Fine City, which has -been silting still for tbe test 20 years or so. What's wrong with asking questions? Many questions were ask­ ed by the newer councilmcn at the budget hearing test month. But none were answered directly. Instead Mayor Ivan Snyder read a lengthy prepared statement cilkizing the young council­ men for rocking the boat by asking questions and seek­ ing answer*. Why shouldn't the council know what'* going on within our city? And we as citizen* should have the same right also. The new Ambulance Ser­ vice will be here the first of July. But Monday night tbe committee was again critici­ zed about the length of time it look to get the contract settled. I guess our fine mayor didn't realize all the time that went into getting a good service for our fair eity and the three township* that will be served. It's too bad that the mayor "refuses" to support these fine young councilmen. who were elected by their ward*. He is just one small part of our community ...the figure head, so to speak! But he want* to “keep it in hl* own small hands!" Let'* hope he'll open up and try and work with these men instead of against them....before it's too late! A CONCERNED CITIZEN Te tbe Editor: Your “Voice of the Peo £' in tbe past few weeks given me * good many teugh*, which anyone need* after 10'A year* in a wheel­ chair. Especially, the letter by “Rambling Row of Dog patch Hollow." (who I as­ sume was a dog); that is comment one. Comment 2. several weeks ago our niece in Hasting* wrote us of a mistake, which had appear­ ed in the paper, which said, that, some recta'a business, was the test, in Tyden Park. This was an error. In thia week's paper "Baek Through The Years" is also incorrect. The article stated that Char les la-onard was the insliga tor of Tyden Park. Charles Ix-onard, as Wm. B. Cra­ mer's very close friend for many year*, and would not have done anything to hurt that friendship. At the time Wm. B. Cramer. Wm. C. Cramer and Burke D. Cra mer. owned the tend where the entrance to the park, now i*. They had a sawmill at the spot, directly below the renter of the bridge. This was the test business to go. The houses along the street were all nice well kept homes. They were moved, later. One was the home of John Rose. father of Dick Rom- You who knew Mr Rom- know hr never kept a run down home. In these limes, when nothing but a new home, with B big MORTGAGE, serves the homes along the street (Broadway), might seem "broken down." but there was PRIDE which te sadly lacking today. After the ARP store came into being where Col. San­ ders now is) more house* were removed. There are only two of the remaining one* which survived, when the new Broadway bridge was built. Some were left “high A dry" such as Robt. Dryers. and others, were moved to new locations on other streets. This was an uphcaveal which no one liv­ ing tn that area will forget for some lime. Comment 3: Memorial Day: There is very little HOMAGE being paid to the war veterans, living or dead al the present time any­ where. Here in Florida many veterans have retired they contribute aa much to the economy a* they did »thiU serving, yet they are ridi­ culed by all. they are given a "hard time" by the young men who were too lazy to serve, and who have no intention of ever serving! Remarks, have been made by the new* media, that "no one asked them to serve." Perhaps, some of those who got out of serving so easily, the last three wars, may yet have the opportunity. I hope we never see another war!, but I must agree with one veteran, who said “A damn good war, would ztraighten out a lot of mama's bey*, who Wil) never straighten out. otherwise.” Thank you.

Ron Herminelt. manager of the Township Mini Park, com­ plained that liquor violations at the Park during baseball games are on the increase and fights are breaking out <>n the diamond and nearby areas. The board waa re­ minded by Cal Lamoreaux that the board did give the manager, full policing power in an earlier meeting and that the supervisor of the township to the chief law enforcement agent of the township by law. Tbe Super visor Earl McKibbin said that he would contact the Sheriffs Department Io see if more patrolling could be arranged in the area during the time games are in pro­ gress. (The constable has never been given aueh powers for writing tickets for such offenses, by the board). In response to a petition for improvements and re­ pairs of Mullen Road, pre rented by Vivian Enyarl. at lhe May meeting, the super visor explained that he was notified that funds for "matching" road repairs were all used up. It was learned that the cost of Patterson Road repairs (which borders Allegan County) camo to $36447.58. There waa dtocuamon tbe possibility of contracting the work out and it was related that Duane Hamilton, did make an estimate on work necessary for grading, gravel and a culvert. Thia amount came to $5,150. and OUR i~BAC * “ KS would have to be paid for in advance by the townahip. Carl Sheenn and Mar garet Beckwith of the Orangeville Townahip Park Committee brought in a request from the baseball teams asking if improve menta could be made for the bases. There is an apparent need for more clay at those areas. The board agreed to look into the matter. Al lhe same meeting on June 9. tbe Orangeville Township Board discussed a letter they had received concerning lhe failure to send state sales tax funds which are normally sent townships quarterly. It seems apparent the state could not meet this obliga tion and there was no date, according to Darlene Har­ per. clerk, as to when the funds could be expected. Many Orangeville Town ahip residents were unaware until the very laat minute, of the candidacy of one of our citizens. John Piller. Wild wood Road, for the Delton Kellogg School Board. John is fairly new to lhe com­ munity and we welcome tbe family to the community. We are g»d to see someone who to interested even when very new to the com munity. get right in to community activities - and square away. Welcome. John!

Or to offer a more detailed account.....Delton Kellogg High School stu dents surpassed their goal and raised ever $1400 to help build a two room sch<vl in El Guapinol. Guatemala. Students held a Latin American-slylo "Market Day" Saturday to raise funds for tbe project which I-, sponsored by the Peace Corps. Money that the slu dents raised will be used toward the cost of materials for the school. Terrance Dolan. Spanish teacher, and Alan Beebe, head of the social studies department, co ordinated student participation. Students succeeded, too. in creating an atmosphere typical of a marketplace found in Mexico or Guate mala. There were many unique booths and activities such as the pinata games. Some of the students who manned the booths wore costumes or sombreros There was even a "beggar" who was os authentic that many visitors wondered whether she -as really as soeiated with the activity. There was a fruit vendor and vendors with wheelbar rows full of bags of peanuts and cake type treats. At one of the booths, a customer could even purchase a slice of fresh pineapple Items sold during the event ranged from live bun­ nies to jewelry. About 125 students were involved in the booths for Market Day. Prior to the event, stu­ dents raised $501. by con ducting a "buy a brick campaign" to finance ma terials and foods that they needed .or the booths. About 115 students were involved in that part of the project. Dolan said he was very pleased with student en­ thusiasm and participation in the event. He said that Market Dey might possibly become an annual event to help in other projects with the Peace Corps. BINGO Set.

The Hickory Telephone Co., which was granted the highest phone rates in the state last November, is mak­ ing preparations to ask the Michigan Public Service Commission to authorise additional increases in rates when its ease is reopened. The MPSC* order last November boosted basic monthly rates by 54 per cent and sparked a grassroots protest which is still con tinuing. Charles Parker, chairman of the subscribers' protest committee, said last Thurs­ day that be believes that more customers will discon­ nect if the company wants a larger increase More than 1U0 customers disconnected in protest to the last increase when it became effective in Decem­ ber. Parker said he predicts that there would be a larger number this time. Quentin Ewert. attorney for the company, said last week that further rate in­ creases are necessary be­ cause ol increased operating costs due to inflation and the "astronomical" legal costa to the company to defend its position in the subscribers' battle against the 54 per cent increase. Since the original rate case was presented last July, Ewert said, inflation had increased opersting costs more than the com­ pany had anticipated. Certified public account anta have bee.. h-rd by the company to compile date from its boohs and records to determine the amount of increases the compsny needs, Ewert said. Exactly which rates and charges would be subjected to possible additional in­ creases will not be deter­ mined until the CPAs com plele their work and the data Is analysed, Ewert said. The CPAs are expected to finish their work in about two weeks, be added. Financially. Ewert said, the Hickory Telephone Co. is "really going down the drain." The company's audited income statement for 1975 showed losses ex­ ceeding 543,000, Ewert has said. It also had considerable losses in the first quarter of this year, he said. Beiause -he MPSC in a May 24 order reopened the case without restriction to all parties, the phone com­ pany is permitted to supple­ ment its original case with additional updated testi­ mony and evidence of in­ creased costa Ewert said. Relating to that order, the company filed a motion re­ questing an additional 30 days to prepare for the rehearing in order to com­ pile new testimony and evi­ dence and to develop revised rales and charges.

Pag* 4 HUGH’S MUSE Future Congressman Campaigning In Cedar Creek? By HUGH FULLERTON Banner Publisher Whan wm the last time a candktote for Congress campaigned in Dowling end We haven't Marched the record*. but chance* are the imoSer communities of Barry County don t get personal attention very often from potential congressman. They did recently, however, when young Brian Hampton spent several days in Barry County, and a whole day visrting as many of the smaller hamlets and village* as ho could He hit nearly all of the Barry County communities in his congressional district eicept Orangeville, he told the Banner, and ho intend* to visit Orangeville on a return visit. Brian did something few Congressional candidates are willing, or have the time-to do He lived for several days in Hastings, and spent many hours on the street, in the store* and outside the factories, just meeting people He calculate* that he has boon in about 95 percent of all the stores and rated busmesses in Barry County -and that’s a lot of business establishments Hampton has a fondness for Barry County that even be can’t fu«y explain. This was one of the first areas lie visited when his campaign began in ernes! this spring, and he says it is hi* favorite place to campaign Ho say* that the people are frier.dfier than anywhere else he has visited. So even though Democratic voters are a minority in the county, he enjoys visiting here. The candidate says that Hastings penpie are among the nicest he’s met anywhere. They warm up quickly, and seem genuinely Interested in him and what he’s trying to do. They take the time to chat and exchange view* In the smafler town* Brian found that people have a reserve which takes a lew m-nutes to overcome. "When they find out I m not setting anything, they become friendlier," Brian chuckles. Ho visited dozens of corner groceries in his visit, as he found that’s the place where people meet in the smaller communities Brian’s unorthodox way of campaigning is tfw result of hie own personality and his low campaign budget. He reaUy seems to enjoy meeting people and talking to them on a one to-one basts. It’s the slow way of accumulating enough votes to win a congressional nomination, but it might be an effective way. Brian doesn't have any big family money behind him (his father ia a college professor), nor does ho have any wealthy angels to bankro* h«s campaign. So by necessity he has to keep hie expenses down by going straight to th* people. Perhaps Brian's greetest asset is tnat he can honestly say he is not a poMcian. He has never held elective office, and has never aven run for one before. He says people seem to be looking for a non-politician to represent them. More than any serious issue, Brian found that a lot of people just want to joke with hm about going to Waihmgton so he can put a pretty secretary on his payroS. RAPID GROWTH DEPARTMENT: It was advertised elsewhere that 18.000 Barry County Fair Premium Books were datrduted to county residents. Question-where d»d they find 18.000 homes in Barry County???

In the previous decade, the county had grown by only 2.000 homo* If 18.000 were distributed to Barry County fsmdies. that means that either the county has grown by more than 6,000 families since 1970. or several thousand went elsewhere Anybody counting? Ryan Dupon, supervisor of Hope Town ship, will be surprised to find that his name picked up a ”B" In the fair book, and ho became ’’Bryan’’. Wo wonder at the wisdom of printing and distributing 18.000 fair books, when the fair wfll probably attract a few hundred exhrbr to.*. Most of th* public is not really concerned with entry rule* and that sort of information. But we would appreciate a dear, concise program of the events and exhibits- when and where we can find them-without going through 70-plus page* ol rule* and regulations. How about it. Fair Board? You could do better dotnbutmg a simple program (and make money off the advertising) and save those expensive premium book* for the folks that need 'em.

Unique Bicentennial Project When The Declaration of Independence was signed in 1778. it was. in reality, a death warrant to those 56 men who made that daring commitment to liberty and freedom. Al) were soft spoken men of means and education who valued liber­ ty more than security and they pledged to each other in the name of liberty, their lives, fortunes, and sacred booor. Five of the original signers were captured, tor lured, and killed as traitors to^The Crown. Many others had their homes ransacked and burned. Because that Declaration of Independence to a tlmeless statement, aa contem­ porary today as it waa 200 years ago. the Middleville Rotary Club had developed a unique Bicentennial project. Middleville Rotarians have reproduced that same Great Proposition, unsigned, and re set in modern type on high quality parachmenl paper. In an age when too many Americans take liber­ ty and freedom for granted, club members will invite all those who would like to reaffirm their belief in the Declaration to step forward during the Middleville Bl centennial Celebration July 4 5 and sign The Document, thereby publidy making the same sacred pledge as did those original 66 patriots. Fifty copies of the docu­ ment have been prepared which can handle up to 5,000 signatures. When complet­ ed. all copies will be proper ly bound together and suit ably encased in the Middle­ ville Village Hall for all time to come. Copy MXH has been re­ served for elected represen­ tatives of the community and will be headed by the signature of President Ford, and followed by Senators Hart and Griffin, Congress­ man VanderVeen. and Gov. Milliken, all of whom signed in their respective Washing­ ton and Lansing offices in advance of the celebration dates. Other signatures appear ing on 4001 will include state, county, township, and village officers elected by the citizens of the com munity. The copy will be on display under glass during the Middleville Bicentennial observance. The Middleville Rotary Club believes that 100 years hence, the document will be of great local, historical in­ terest and stand as a re­ minder to the citizens of the community at the nation's Tricentennial, that in July of 1976. after 200 years of imperfection and problems, their ancestors boldly step ped forward and demanded to continue thia great adven­ ture called America.

George Halverson wu a highlight for the high school age you’h who attended a law enforce­ ment career camp at Wesley Woods last week. Party seven young men and women from many parts of the state, including Hast­ ings and Delton, participat­ ed in the unique career education program held June 13-19 at the Dowling camp. The program is sponsored by Michigan Kiwanis Clubs and designed for youth who plan to pursue a profession ia the field of law enforce­ ment. During the week, the cur­ riculum was geared to pro­ vide the youth with an introduction into tbe many facets of the criminal justice systems, according to Ser­ geant JohnKopaez of the Jackson State Police Poet. Kopacz and Trooper Carl Goeman of the Battle Creek Post served as the pro­ gram's directors. Students were exposed to mini-courses in police his­ tory. traffic law, the correc lions system, criminal law, use of a tracking dog, crimi­ nal investigation, crime pre­ vention, police communica­ tions. patrols and police techniques, juvenile delin queocy and narcotics, the effects of alcohol, the use of a breathalyzer, etc. There were also courses in water safety, first aid. fire arms safety and range pro­ cedure. and actual firearms training. The camp was planned and staffed by the Michigan State Police and supple­ mented with instructors and resource people from other law enforcement agencies. Sheriff David Wood and Sergeant Gerald Smith of the Barry County Sheriffs Department were among th« participants. Guest speakers included a judge, prosecutor, conserva­ tion officer, defense attor­ ney, and an FBI agent. And on Friday. Col. Hal­ verson arrived at the camp, via helicopter, and stayed for lunch and viewed the program in operation. Besides offering youth an insight into all the career options available in the criminal justice system, Hal­ verson said the camp is an opportunity for young peo­ ple to become personally acquainted with the kind of people who are in law en­ forcement. While at the camp, students have a close association with law enforce­ ment personnel who serve not only as instructors but also as counselors. Halverson noted that the camp program exhibits the type of co-operation that exists in law enforcement between tbe different agon des. Throughout the week, police departments oo the township, dty. and county levels, as well as the State, contributed to tbe program. Halverson acknowledged tbe Kiwanis Clubs for tbeir strong financial support and recruitment of interested students. Students in grades 9-12. who do not have a criminal record, were eligible to apply for the program through the Kiwanis Clubs Tbe cost per student is about 180 including food and lodging and is paid by spon soring Kiwanis Clubs. Since Delton does not have a Kiwanis Club, tbe Delton Lions Club and the Delton Kellogg Mothers Study Club sponsored Deb Fletcher and Gordon Rit chie, the two Delton youth who participated. The Hast­ ings Kiwanis Club sponsored Barb Bradford of Hastings. Part of the camp program was devoted to giving the students practical experien­ ces in law enforcement in addition to 'classroom* in­ struction. The camp staff set-up a crime scene, based on an actual case history, which allowed students to become super sleuths is they investigated and theorized their way through the exercise. Also staged was a simu­ lated automobile accident­ providing students with first-hand experiences of the problems of being witnesses on the scene. A day was set aside for a field trip excursion to give students an opportunity to view the similarities and differences of various police departments.

The daily routine included discipline and relaxation. paling in drills, for example. Trooper Goeman said Michigan's law enforcement after a similar program tn Indiana. The Ann Arbor Police Department, he noted, played an instru mental role in initiating the program in Michigan. Last year a pilot program was launched in Michigan involving 43 boys, and it proved so successful that this year it has expanded to a co-ed venture and to two one week sessions. enforcement camp is being held this week al University of Michigan's Fresh Air Camp. Chocking Re suits-Firearms safety and range procedure was part of the training students received at tbe camp. Afterwards they bad an opportunity. apply their knowledge at the firing range. Sgt.

Middleville Using Range For T-K Driver Training Thornapple Kellogg High School la in the process of changing its existing year around driver education pro­ gram to a range typo of program that will be taught during the summer months only. The first summer session is expected to start Juno 14. and run through July 18. If a second session is taught. It will start July 19. and ran through Aug 20. The students will spend four hours of driving lime on the driving range (located on tbe high school parking lot) and four hours of driving on the road. The range concept of driver education will on able us to provide more driving time for our stu­ dents. Currently each student drives six hours on the road. Under the range program each atudent would drive at least eight hours before they qualified for their certifi­ cate. Thm, with more driv­ ing time, the students will be better prepared for the problems they will encount­ er in driving on the open rood. In addition to allowing more instructional time for each student, the range pro gram will reduce the opera­ tional costs of the total driver education program for tbe current and future years in our school district.

Mrs Wolf had asked for *7.000 in funds for the program, but Monday night said abe had obtained assist ance from another source and said a *4.000 grant would be Aiderman William R. Cook, committee ehairman. trolled by the round!, and had been earmarked for the remainder of the year. Cook suggested that the Commission on Aging re­ quest be submitted formally for the coming calendar /ear. Mrs. Wolf at the previous council meeting pointed out that 89 percent of the com­ mission's transportation calls were from Hastings' residents. Mayor Ivan Snyder a­ ppointed the first board members for the new Hast­ ings Outdoor Nature Area, popularly known as 8weatoy's. Representatives from the school district are Alfred Lowe, one year term, and Peter DeDecker, throe year term. Members at large are Conservation Officer Brent Willison, one year; Mrs. Pal Johnson and Atty. Shaw, two years, and Dr. Robert Cary three years. As former Aiderman Lynn Brown has moved from the dty, after buying the Gary Armstrong Or­ chard on the Henry Road, he resigned from the Planning Commission. Mayor Say deft appointment of Darrell Aldrich as his successor was confirmed by the council. The council approved transfer of tbe Class C and SDM tavern license with dance permit from Roger D.

Mikesell The Circuit Court, the only Court of general civil and criminal jurisdiction, as well as the Court that handles appeals from the District and Probate Court: • Requires a person of extensive legal and ludlclal experience. • Requires a person with mature |udgment and a genuine sense of fairness to everyone. Ol the four candidates running for the Important post of Judge of the Fifth Judicial Circuit Court, tor Eaton and Barry Counties, there Is only one experienced Judge...Judge Willard L. Mikesell The upcoming August 3 primary election should be of vital interest to every segment of our society—labor, management, homemakers, re­ tirees. teachers and professionals. We're all interested in the same things: safety within our homes, safety In our streets Judge Mikesell believes that the best deterrent to crime is the certainty ol prompt apprehension, a swift, fair trial and the certainty of punishment if convicted. Eaton and Barry Counties show a dropping crime rate, while the crime rate for the rest of the slate, and the nation as a whole, is soaring. In Judge Mikesell's words: "Tha crime rele hero reflects the care and concern ol the people in electing public officials. A safe community starts with the people They are the ones who hold the key to authority and power. The people, in turn, give that power to the public officials whom they elect and who reflect the public's wishes." So I feel, therefore, that the counties' record is really a reflection of the people, all police agencies and prosecutors operating within these two counties, and finally. District and Circuit Courts No one group can take more or less responsibility than the other. For it is a blend in a way of thinking that is instilled into ivory public official starting at the ballot box, which in turn spills over into the streets."

Pa<e ft Attend Services This Week’s Message birth and life and death. iHness. the sadness of partings. How in the worid- in this kind of world is it possible to fed "good"? Isn’t joy the supreme blasphemy in a world like ours? It might be if it wore our world, but it isn’t. It is God s world. We sometimes affirm that fact on Sunday mornings, as we sing in chu'Ch "This Is My Father’s World.’’ But it’s his on Saturday night as wdl as Sunday morning. It’s his all of the week, every week, in sickness and in health. And if it is his. how can we not take heart, just at being in it? The Apostle Paul asks (Romans 8:31, 321 "If God is for us. who is against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all. will he not also give us all things with him?" God is for usl Isn’t that wonderfull He's for us so much that lie gave his own Son for us. Knocking on wood implies that God is against us. that he’s on the opposing team. Knocking on wood says that if I am enjoying life. I’d better be careful, or God will let the roof cave in on mo and turn my pood fortune into bad. Nothing could be farther from the truth. "This Is My Father s World.’’ and "God is for us." With my heart and eyes wide open to the sorrow and hurt of this world, I can still rejoice tliat I am alive and that this is God’s world in which I live. "KNOCKING ON WOOD" Willard H. Curtis, Pastor first Presbyterian Church, Hastings Do you ever knock on wood? How many times have you said it or heard another say. "Guess I’d better knock on wood. I haven't had a cold in a year-knock on wood! I never have had a flat tiro--knock on woodl"? What is behind this ritual? It seems to have little to do with one’s religion, theology or lack of either. Yet. knocking on wood is really a theological statement, a statement about God. It is declaring that God is a jealous God. If he takes note of my good fortune, as I have just declared it. he win “throw the switch" on me and will cut off the good things. Ho will deal me some ill fortune. How many of us have a theology of despair or a view of life that is basicaliy gloomy and pessimistic so much so that one feels guilty when ho catches himseif feeling good and boyant and joyful? There certainly is much in the world that is terribly wrong and a cause for grief. One hardly knows where to start the catalog of horror. Racism will still have to come somewhere near the top of the list. And wars go on. Children are hungry and refugees homeless. In our own land there are all kinds of deprivation.

The wool most largely used came mostly from Asiatic Russia. That source of supply is now entirely cut off. and that has pul a proposition up to this local intitution; but it Mu fortunately been able to make use of stock, though not heretofore used in felt bool making, and the change in materials has necessitated a change in method*. It is noted that the factory gives evidence of American pluck and adaptability, for the whistle sound* every day. and the usual production is maintained.

In the early history of Amenca "survi val" was on the mind* of the pioneer* and people who settled on the land. Today, many people think. "I want what I want when I want it. and I intend to get it."

I* there any relationship between what happened to them and America's last two hundred years? Nations are born by sweat, blood, and tears. Sweat La simply hard produtive work for necessities.

One incentive that was very powerful in bringing people from Europe to America was; the privilege to exercise their religious faith In God aa revealed by th* Holy Scriptures. Thus Christian Religion from start to finish was the key factor in building and plan ning a new nation. Hand In hand with the religious factor was the fac tor of strong family life. George Washington said. "I<et no one cherish the illusion that without religion and morality, the security and well being of the nation can long survive." We add that this also applies to family life. Ben Haden says, “There to a pattern lor ■ great civilisa­ tion. The pattern it from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfish ne*s to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bond M*-" Where are we?

High school Friends And Customers! We sincerely regret that health reasons have forced the sale of Braendle & Son Dairy Queen, particularly at this time, during the mid-season of our 7th year in Hastings. Our deepest appreciation goes to each and every friend and customer whose loyalty and support has just been tremendous. Your kindnesses will always be remembered. Sincere best wishes and a cordial welcome to Helen and Bob Grogan and son, Jeff, of Ambia, Ind., who are the new owners and operators effective Tuesday, July 6. We truely hope that patience and understanding will be accorded the Grogans until they have "learned the ropes" in bringing you quality products and service in the continuing Dairy Queen tradition. (Although the Grogans attended Dairy Queen training school in Minneapolis, Minn., Neil will remain on for two weeks to help make the changeover as smooth as possible). The new owners have assured us they will honor all product punch cards, premium cards, and other commercial programs in progress. WE ARE PROUD that, with your loyal support, we twice won Dairy Queen's "Golden Cone" award for increased sales, and in June of this season our store became the first in our region to earn the system's new QUAUTY/PURITY AWARD, given for achieving and maintaining a superior rating in the quality and purity inspection conducted by and in behalf of American Dairy Queen Corp. The award, based on the basics of quality, quantity, service and cleanliness, wa- started late in 1975, and it typifies all that your Hastings Dairy Queen has strived to achieve. Although our future plans are indefinite at this time, we plan to continue living in Hastings because we like it here and have been treated so splendidly by everyone. We can only say "thanks" over so much, and God Bless you all! Braendle & Son Dairy Queen o'ckxk in the sflemoon.

Dave Jasperse. president of tbe Hastings Area Cham ber of Commerce and a local retailer, said that several storeowners have discussed approaches to rehabilitation, and visited Greenville, a community which has suc­ cessfully carried out a re­ habilitation program. "We're not talking about a massive effort," Jasperse told the planning unit. He said that Greenville did the rehabilitation very gradu ally, and it "was largely a private effort". Jasperse said that al a recent meeting of retailers, they were "very receptive to the idea—LU of course they want to know what it will coal." No definite plans have been made. Jasperse said, and the merchants are seek ing cooperation from the city to work out a program. He asked the Planning Commis sion to agree to work with the chamber, and allow Paul Jones of William* A Works to advise the group. standing but the insides are completely demolished> The building housed many types of recreational equipment.

Why should a lawyer who ha* spent 25 yean building ning on his own qualifica­ tion*. and not aa an "anti­ Mikesell" candidate. on this expert.'

(George and Shirley Hazle. proprietors'. Javperve said there are many different approaches to the downtown rehablllla tion problem, and the retail ers and city should decide jointly ’how to get tbe job done.* Two Hems which be said would be considered early are restoration or Im Erovement of the store uildlng* and belter parking facilities. Jones, who had met with some of the retailers, said the proposal is "sort of a grass roots thing", and said that this method is far better than a "pretty pic­ ture type plan" drawn up by a professional consultant. Jasperse said that local businessmen are looking at the downtown area to see whether it is worth keeping their stores in town or moving them to a shopping center location. Cindy Sage, chamber exe­ cutive. said there are "two or three" retailers who are anxious to fix up their store buildings this fall, and they want some guidance as to an over all plan for the stores. She said that building restriction is the fastest and cheapest way to go. and cited Waldorff Furniture as an excellent example of what can be done. In Greenville. Jones said, the chamber got the city council to create an architec tural review board, which has to review and approve al) remodeling plans for downtown buildings. Thia way all budding changes fit into the oewndi ptaa. whisk happen* to be a Danish motif in Greenville. Jim Wtswell. chairman of the PUnning Commission, responded "As a Planning Commission.

In other business, th* commission beard Mayor Ivan Snyder report that the city has already received 110.000 in federal funds to be used for housing rehabili­ tation. The dty is to receive a total of 455.000 for this, of whwh 16 000 is tor admtnto trative expenses. Snyder said the city must draw up guidelines for tbe use of the money, and it has a year in which to spend It on housing improvement.

Par* 4 Name Big Brother, EDITORIAL County Economic Report Good Big Sister ‘Of Year’ Starting Point for Development From the summary wo have rood of th# recent report of tbe county Economic Development Advisory Committee, the county seems to have taken the fest small step toward a program of economy develop merit which could benefit an of us The report. whi<$i deals with long-range goals, stresses development of Barry Coun tv's resources, instead of leaning on the thm hope of attracting outside industry Tbe report s 8 specif* goats include three which are related to tourism and recreation. Certainly, these are areas which should be very exploitable m Barry County Look around yourself and consider what Barry County’s strong points are 1 lota of natural lakes, with opportunities for boating, fishing, general leisure activities. 2 Some o’. the prettiest hills and forests in southern Michigan 3 Although we re a short drive from some iwge centers of population. Barry County is relatively unspoiled and rural The committee and the professional planners who helped write the report, understood these advantages, and set up goals to capitalize on them In tourism and recreation. Barry County could well be one of the real drawing cards of southern Michigan Presumably, the committee had no insrde knowledge of the new Cedar Point park being talked about al Fort Custer, near Battle Creek But is that development taken place, Ba>ry County could be a tug beneficiary of the wave of tourism wh*h is bound to d-.-vetop Barry County could tie tbe area where out-of-town visitors want to stay, because it certainly . die area near Battle Creek which offers the most In potential recreational facilities We could wefl have dozens of new motets, campgrounds and the like to nouse the visitors. Other aspects of the report are worthy of commendation, as wed Certainly we must agree with the committee's goal of unem­ ployment at no more than 4%. But that will be a hard goal to re* The recommendation that the county bo developed as a sohwood (pulpwood! pro­ ducing center is worth further study, to see if it is feasible. This planned usa of forests might bo very compatible with development of recreation facAtiee. Inoustriaf development is a worthy goaf, but perhaps not a very realistic one. In many ways, Barry County is not very attractive to outside industry. Its transportation links are poor, the skiR levels of avaiiabie labor tend to be low. we have no institutions of high education, and- worst of all -we air located ■n Michigan, the state doing one of the best jobs in driving industry away. St*, further industrialization is not impos s-Ne But we might do better to make it possible for local industry to expand, and new locally owned industries to atari, than to pin our hopes on attracting industry from outside In the long run. locaty owned industry tends to be much more interested in the community welfare than industry con­ trolled from afar and run strictly be accountants. We hope that this general plan for economic development wMl receive quick approval from the U.S. Economic Develop­ ment Administration. When this occurs, the county planning department will have more copies printed, so that the report vnB be wwtefy rood in the county The next step-and a much tougher one- will bo translating those laudable but vague long range goals into specific and realistic programs wliich wfl bo jobs and economic miprovemeot for Barry C ounty Wayland Marine Promoted Marine Sergeant Timothy L.

Except -before man started being unkind to each other, he slopped following God and HI* commandment*, which are summarized by thi* practical common sense group of word*, “Love God. and each other." A good many of us have had time* well remembered, of unkind­ ness in our live*.

When one read* in the larger paper*, that a com­ munist party, headed by Gus Hall, whoever be is, is trying to say "there was a con­ spiracy in Michigan" (and how about the other states and what their papers say from the mouth of salan?) Gus Hall has a toe bold in America—and no one yet has asked Gus Hall and his cohort* to leave the country before they destroy it from within by teaching and pro­ fessing communism in our public schools (and are you people doing this in Hast ings. Mich?) Because many of u* are wise—and do know thia is going on. Ill say there's work to be done in America! Turn the book* back to the 3-R's among other things! When one read* Dr. Thosteson's column saying Dysclxia is very prevalent among the school children. I maintain he hasn't seen the books! He's have dyslexia, too, even in the first grade. So, wake up America! Your school board meeting is: July 13 at 7:30 p.m. in the Jr. High Study Hall. Il is so important that we. the peo­ ple. see tbe type of book* our children are to learn from. It is so important that we, the people, work hard at getting God back into the schools. Your children are being told to write themes about "beer bottle*" and 1 have talked to people who "are very glad their child has graudated from high school because of what they learned there." Are you going o »it back and allow thia, Mr. and Mrs. America? I k. ow a Christian teacher who isn't asked lo come back In the fail to teach at Battle Creek because this kind teacher refuses lo teach “the route," and I do know what I'm talking about.

The Banner wB, where appropriate, make recom­ mendations to rta readers regarding how we feel they should vote. Elections are a very personal thing, of course.

Many voters can't knew enough about the carxfidates from personal experience to inteMgentfv make up their minds. So they must turn to the news tedia for more information on the races, the candidates and the issues This ra where a responsible paper cornea into the picture. We are not all seeing, of course. But our staff doos have more contcct with most public office holders than moot members of the pubfic ever do. For more especially complex elections, ws wdt do more than the usual amount of coverage, so that the voters can be well informed about every candidate This is true m the current race tor Circuit Ceurt judge. Because a judgeship Is not a ueu.1 policy­ making job, it is difficult to decide th» merits of the mon running for judge. Lawyers, who probably know most about the judicial candidates, also are reluctant to pubiidy endorse them, because they have to work with whoever is elected. To help the voters, the Banner is doing an in depth interview with each candidate for judge Thia will tel far more about each men then the usual review of hie career. Aa the eiectiona draw near, wo may decide to endorse individual candidates. We feel nu obligation to endorse a candidate in every contest. But where we can see a dear preference for one cancSdate over another, we fad the public can benefit from our endorsement. In some races, we may feel that we do not know enough about the canddolos or the ieauoa to intaBgantfy advieecho voters. If thia is the cose, that moons that the candidates have not done a very good job of presenting thomeofves to the public. In some races, wo may foot that more than one candidate io wd qualified, and that the voters cannot go wrong whichever wey they vote We wa make endorsements only where we fed wo can moke an intaCgont decision, based on both the canrfidoteo and the ieouee If we endorse, wo will give full reasons for the endorsement Just as The Banner feds it should endorse cancbdates whore there is a deer-cut choke, wo fed the citizens should use the "Voice of the People" column to make known their endorsements. Obviously. If we get dozens or hundreds of letters, we cannot run them an. And the shorter they are, the more kkdy they are to bo printed. But the letters to the editor are an important means of public cfcscusaion. and a wey by which a eingio citizen can reach many more people than by just private conversation. We feel that taking dear stands on public issues and candidates is not only the privilege, but the reepondbOty, of a news­ paper. Any newspaper which ducks the important questions of the day doos not deserve to be called a newspaper. The Banner hopes that its policy on issues and andorsemsnts to a service to you. the pubfcc JIICK near the Gun Lake Tavern. One gentleman (whose vision was impaired) drove In answer to "Hugh's Muse" of June 30.1976 there In evaluating all the candidates for Congress and the State legislature this year, the one question every voter should ask himself is-how wdl is ho or she going to reflect the needs and desires of Barry County residents? The swing of power to the cities has gone too far. and we need to make ouredvoa heard again. The urban power bibcks need to be countered by such groups as the new Barry County Taxpayers group The population experts say the trend of the population to bock to the amaler towns and rural areas. Aa wo know so wot here in Barry County, the toes crowded areas have been able to retain some of the good old fashioned values while the cities have gone to pot. Moro and more Americans are realizing this, and are seeking a We in arses where they can worry toes about crime, bureaucrats and pollution. Over the next decade, politicians are kkdy to become more ewers of thto general trend.

Yes.” said the owner. "1 planted some sour crabapple trees there at the entrance of the orchard to scare off anyone whp wanted to steal them; but I planted the best tree* in the center of the orchard, and this basket is Nied with the sweet apples from these trees.” We can find some sour crabapple hypocrites around the edge of the church, but you B also find some sweet and wonderful ChrwtL'n* m the center of it. Une should not judge the church by his experience with * few hypocrites. Ananias and Sapphira were hypo­ crites in the first century church, but that did not moan that Philip and Stephen, and James and John were the same kind of people We should not shun the church because of some hypocrite.

Pastor of Michigan Avenue Wesleyan Church In Exodus 20 verso two the Lord spoke to Israel and said. "I am the Lord your God" and then He continues wtth the Ten Commandment*. ”I am the Lord your God" sounds very threatening doesn’t K? It to threatening to anyone who Uvea a ehaSow Me and does not try to find real meaning to Me. The real emphasis of verse two is not God. as we have so often thougnt. But It Is YOU. Your We. Your future. Your happiness. Your freedom And this puts a new emphaeto on aU tho commandment* that foSmsr. "I am tho Lord" are the only word* of this verse many people read. Those four word* form the picture in their mind* of a stem, whip carrying God.

Think of h, a God for you and ma, a personal God. a God interested in me and concerned about my wen being Life needs a God Be that, a red God. This need is boh into the very nature of man. Augustine expressed the thought: "Our hearts are restless until they rest In God." You and I understand life, in some degree. At least, we understand, enough to realize that sometime* life is very hard. And in these hard moment* we reach out, or up. for something to ding to. someone, with which we can share the hardness. We are acquainted with Me enough, also, to know that there are moments when reason to silent, time* when vm try turd to figure things out.

WBCH KAOBO IM »J20 * IM 100' I NkSDIGS MICHIGAN ) West Woodland By: Victor Siam We've had several inquir­ ies about our bird, this week, since we haven't men Honed them for some time. So here is a brief resume: Two pairs of barn swal­ lows came back this spring to the places on our porches where they have nested for several years. Pair No. 1 started right in and built a nice nest to replace the one the sparrow» had destroyed, and then seemed to be satisfied to just fiy around Chaps she was a society jr and not ready to settle down and raise a family. Pair No. 2 turned their back on the nest on the front porch that we had protected from the sparrow, and pro eroded to build a home of their own over the corner post of th* porch. This pair didn't stop and aa soon as the nest waa completed the wife seemed anxious to ful­ fill her duty and the process of laying eggs, setting oo them. etc., followed in due season. It seemed <mly a very short time until we were sure there were babies in the nest. Pair No. 1. in the mean time also settled down and it wasn't long until they too assured us they were par­ ents. As the days pasted and the busy parents kept sbov ing food into invisible cavi­ ties down in the nest, the usual process of growth went on and we soon discov ered that each nest contain rd a family of quintuplets. Last Friday the first one from nest No. 2 took off on its own and by Saturday afternoon ail five were gone from that nest. That night the whole family spent in a mock orange bush nearby. And since then we don't know where they are. As of Monday afternoon all five of the other young­ sters were still In the nest but it is so full that they have probably all taken flight by the time you read this. Mr. and Mra.

Corn it State’s Leading Crop Michigan is noted for a variety of outstanding crops but corn is the leading field crop in both acreage and crop value. About one third of Michigan's planted crop acreage is corn, according to B.Da)e Ball, director of the Michigan Department of Agriculture. "In 1975 thU amounted to 2.3 million acres for a pro duction value of (430 mil­ lion.” Ball said. “Farmers in Michigan market nearly two thirds of the corn pro duetd as a cash crop, most of the remainder is used on the farm for feed, contributing to our livestock, and live stock products production.* Ball said yields per acre of corn in Michigan general ly average about 80 bushels today as compared to 30 bushels from I860 to the mid 1940's. Higher yields are attributed to the introduc­ tion of hybrid varieties.

Blough told Barry County Sheriffs Department depu­ ties that the Coupar rar. a 1969 Olds, swerved at him once and then returned to his own lane of traffic. The second lime the Coupar swerved into the oncoming lane of traffic and kept coming. Blough said that he saw the driver of the other car slouch to the right prior to the impact. Another witness.

Deputies reported that the Coupar car left no skid marks and the Blough Chevrolet Van left 47 feel of marks. An autopsy revealed that Coupar died of accident in­ juries. any one of which would have been serious enough to kill him.

There's no question as to where Mikesell stands re­ garding his conduct.

Judge Mike­ sell reiterated in a recent interview with The Hastings Banner. He says be could not “deny the people the right" to reelect him. if they eboose. In accordance with thss philosophy. Mikesell is run ning very much of a gran roots, pcraon-toperson cam­ paign throughout the 2 counties. Even more than most candidates for public office. Judge Mikesell is gelling out to crowd events, shaking hands, relying on persjcal contact to maka people believe that he should be their judge. Although it was nut re­ vealed just bow much money is going to be spent, it is dear that the Mikesell cam­ paign is not being financed br a few wealthy support era. Judge Mikesell told The Banner that the largest sing­ le contributions to hto cam­ paign fund are 1100. “I think that's a lot of money from one Individual.** Mikesell said. He made it clear that he's hoping for many small coo tribulions. just as he is banking on many scattered votes, to pul him back on the bench. M&eseU has found strong support throughout the 2 counties which comprise the district. His campaign letter-, head carries the names of 2G supporters in Barry County, and 50 supporters from the more populous Eaton Coun­ ty. Many of the names are familiar ones in government and public affairs. This support comes "from an walks of life-labor man agtmeol. all classes". MikewU explains. He says that many people have read re­ ports about bis suspension in the news media, and have come forward to offer their support. Those Hated on the cam paign letterhead from Barry County are: Charies F. Murphy. Wvd C. Hynes. Russ Hankins, Lawrence E. Barnett, Wil­ liam Cridler. Rev. Lester DeGroot. Edward 8. EDes. C.R. (Dick) Freer. Tom Frenthway; Roy L. Hall. Jim Houghtalin. Vern Marshall. Robert G. Moore. Jack S Osgood. Gordon Parker. Chalmers Reahm, Gary Sunior. Leo Verimde. David Wren and James J. Wynes. Most of the Barry County people have Hastings ad­ dresses. although Hynes. Cridler. EUes and Veriinde are from Middleville and Rev. DeGrool. Marshall and Wynea are from NaahviBa. But why should a man who has been harried by the Judicial Tenure Commission and the Supreme Court, and who to out of a job for 18 months, care enough to seek another term oc the Circuit Court?

He says this is a serious consti­ tutional question, and an answer in the negative could pul him back on the bench before the original 18 month suspension is finished.

Furrow also reported that the pool should be complete ly repainted before next season. This year, only the had spots were scraped and touched up. he said. King suggested that the board thank the public for its support of the pool, especially "all the parents who send their children to swim", and a number of folks who have given outright donations for pool operation.

His figures took into account daily receipts, lessons, rent als and family memberships, but did not consider income from donations or the bal ance which the pool fund had at the start of the season. The pool is attracting an average of 51 paying swim mere every day. in addition to many who come on paid up family memberships. Furrow said. This figure "is better than I anticipated.* commented Bob King, who is a member of the pool board Furrow said that he ex­ pects the operating expens­ es for the entire season to come Io about 44.200, and expected revenues should be close t<> the figure. Income to July 20 was 13.074.42. The pool is open for public swim ming 5 hours a day, which some board members noted is helping attendance. Mrs. David Main, presi ■lent of the pool board, said that the board hopes to promote family memberhips better next year, and also attract more rentals of the camp. Furrow said that rent­ al income will total about MX) for the summer.

Why is it that a party which leads 2 to-1 in regis (rations loses elections?" El­ sman asked rhetorically. He answers that lhe public i* disenchanted by both rvgu lar parties, and the proles smnal politicians who bold office. “I don't think our system of professional politicians can do II any more." Elsman on. Thr alternative is for non-politicians like him self to leave their regular vocations and gu into public service, he thinks. Elsman is basing his cam paign in the primary on the issue of the "kickback" sys­ tem be charges Secretary of Stale Richard Austin of using..He's banking primari ly on this issue to give statewide recognition, and to get Democratic votes away from Austin, whom he sees as his main opponent. In addition. Elsman hopes for a substantial Republican crossover in the primary. as a reaction to the charH.s against Elsman. as well as independents. The Austin kickhack sys­ tem. under which license plate sales mones has alleg­ edly been used for Austin's campaign expenses, is typi ea! of the actions of public officials which have “turned off lhe voters.

By Pastor Las Takkutan Milo Bible Church Phons 871 5182 A*k an atherst ..he writ say. "Nol" Ask an agnostic...he wiM say. "I don't know I" Ask a bom again bekever.. he writ say. "Sucefyl" But what about you? Is God real? Is He afcvw? Do you see God working in your life darfy? What proof do you have that God <s alive and well? I believe there are three reasons why Cod is a>>w and exists today 11 The first reason is that God proved by creation that He is alive Creation shows God's hand on every turn. In Genesis 1:1 it states "In lhe beginning God created the heaven and lhe earth." Everything that wo see and that we do not see was created by God Hrm«elf In Hebrews 11.3 it says. "Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by tho word of God. so that Ihmy* which are seen were not made of things which do appear." God created everything from no'hmg. wro accept this by faith You say. “But I don't believe lhatl" Well friend, if you don t believn that God created everything, trow much faith does it take to believe that we just happened or that we came from monkey* and apes? My body ts just too precisely made, the earth's cycles are just too perfect, God's design in every individual thing is too amazing for even the scientists to say, "There is no God". Not only did God create everything, but secondly. He hold* everything together. In Colossians 1:17 it say*. "And He is before ALL things, and by Hi-- 'LL things consist." The word "consist" means upheld or stand together The Lord is lhe one that holds everything m place...the moon, sun. stars, and the plancis God made the laws of nature and ."hey hold true time and time again. For example: gravity, water heavier than oil, the magnetic fields, and lhe like The law* and logic of God are seen in every area of creation. Do you not see these law* to be consistent? Do you not see things happening in a logical way? WHY? Because God stands behind those laws" Thirtty, yet most important, is because He has changed lives of hundreds of thousand* of indrviduais. You see. Christ proved Himself to bo God by showing forth miracle upon miracle Multiplying loaves, walking on water, heeling thousands in three years, by forgiving sine, by restoring Ide to dead bodies. and by saying. "I and My Father are one'John 10:30 Tho miracles in the gospels show forth that He was and is God in the flesh. Yet He had a more important purpose in coming to this earth -to die for the sins of the worid-l John 22. In Matthew 121 wo find the angel talking to Joseph after Mary was conceived of the Hofy Spirit, and tho angel said. "And she shall bring forth a son. and thou short ca« Hrs name JESUS: for He Shan save His people from their sins," Christ lived for some 33 years and suffered and died for the sins of each person In the world. He proved again that He was God by raising again from the dead On the day of Pentecost until now Christ has been chang ing lives through the person of the Holy Spirit. In II Corinthian* 5:17 it states: "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation: old things are passed away behold, all thing* are became new." He changes directions in people * lives. I have seen drunks, drug addicts. filthy. immoral people saved and changed by the power of Jesus Christ and His saving, cleansing blood which was shed on the cross nearly 2.000 years ago. This is living proof God is alive' He proved by His creation I He proves it by holding all things together! He will prove it if you will let Him do it by preying the following prayer and believing it with all your heart: Dear Heavenly Father. I know that I am a sinner. I believe with all my heart that Christ died for my sins and raised again from the dear! I now accept Jesus Christ as the sacrifice lor my sins. In Jesus' name. AMEN. ZION 1.1 THtKiVN CHURCH.

At one time we count ed 11 swallows perched on th electric wire that runs from the house to the yard light and there were al least seven others flying in and out of lhe cherry tree and in and out under the porch roof. Where all these extras came from we have no idea. The two came back to the nest (or the night. The parent birds were busy until dark feeding the five, then perched near by for the night. Friday forenoon there was only one little fellow left in lhe nest and he resisted all thr coaxing until evening when it took off and joined the others out in the big cruel world. Some of them, varying in number, still came back to the vicinity of the nest as night approaches and the parent* continue to see that those wide open mouths are satisfied.

Minister East Street Church of Christ Most rebgiou* group* in their worship observe the Lord's Supper; but there's a lot of difference as to the frequency of observance. Some partake of commun­ ion monthly, some Quarterly, others weekly. Do the Scripture* speak on this subject? If so, we noed to know so that we can do exactly as the Bible teaches. We learn from Act* 2:42 that first century Christians continued steadfastly in breaking of bread, but that still does not tell u* how often. In Acts 20-7 we are told that upon the first day o! the week disciples came together to break bread Upon the first day of which week? Every weekl But how do we know? In the Old Testament the Jews were told to, "Remember the sabbath day. to keep it holy" (Exodus 20 81 They did not ask which sabbath because they understood that command to mean every sabbath. Likewise, a* often a* the first day of the week comes.

Endorses Helen Root BANNER SPECIAL REPORT Dan Maher Thinks Youth, Right Attitude Are What Circuit Court Bench Needs Bi HI GH FULLERTON Banner Publisher Daniel Maher of Eaton Rapids may be the youngest man running for Circuit Court judge ta the -55th District this year, but he sees this as one of his advantages. "Many |*eople have the reaction 'He's not set in his ways' " when they meet me. commented Maker, who is 31. He thinks many voters arc looking for a young but experienced judge, and not ju* ’ one who expects to retire in a few years. "I'd like to spend my carver in the judiciary." Maher told The Hastings Banner in an interview. He DANIEL MAHER thinks he's entering public service "in the prime of my career." Despite his youth. Maher has been heavily involved ta trial worl.. Following his graduation from Wayne State University Law School, he worked in Detroit Recorder's Court as an assis­ tant prosecutor in a special program to help clean up the backlog in that court. He says he often handled 3 to 5 felony cases per day in Recorder's Court under the program, which gave him a lot of criminal experience in a short time. Maher also worked as an attorney in the enforcement division of the Wayne Coun­ ty Friend of the Court agency. As such, he dealt with 28 Judges on domestic matters. Since 1972. Maher has practiced law in Eaton Coun­ ty. first in Eaton Rapids and now in Charlotte. lie is a member of the law firm of Becker. Maher and Smith. Maher said that a study of the Barry-Eaton Circuit Court showed that ta a typical period, nearly half of th* cases handled were di­ vorce cases. Anothei onefourth of the cases were criminal matters. With his experience. Ma her feels that he is especially well qualified to handle to two most numerous types of cases in Circuit Court. Being what he calls “basic­ ally a trial lawyer," Maher has spent considerable time in the courts and observing judges. He gets very serious when he talks about a Judge's responsibilities and decorum on the bench. The greatest attribute of a Judge should be that he does not intimidate people. Ma her say* "People deserve to be treated justly and fairly." be said. In bis opinion, there is a great deal of tension in the courtroom, and the judge should try to reassure the panic* and explain what is going on. 'It doesn't take loo much lime for a judge to explain, he says. Too often. Maher says, a party in a case leaves the courtroom and asks his at­ torney what happened. “They certainly have a right to know." Maher says, "be cause it just happened to them." Witnesses and victims should be treated kindly and fairly. Maher believes. He says it is a "great burden" being the victim of a crime. Too often in the courtroom, he says.»Klima and witness es arc badgered and made to feel that they are on trial themselves. A judge must have “Iremendou* will and courage to do what'* right." Maher says in the face of possible ad­ verse public opinion. He underscores his own inde pendenev. "I don't owe any­ thing to any political or interest _ group...Nobody owns me." Maher is vehement when talking about protecting the rights of all concerned ta court cases. “1 totally believe ta the Bill of Righto." he aays forcefully. “Every time con­ stitutional righto are enforc­ ed in court, it strengthens our rights nut of court " Maher says that “all police agencies arc Jealous in their jobs." and occasionally thsl real makes them overstep their bounds The judge has to be a "watchdog" of police agencies, he says. Maher declined to com­ ment on things he would like to change in Circuit Court administration, citing the bar's canoe of ethics which restricts judicial candidates from making promises. He did admit that he has "a million ideas'* or. how the court could be Improved. Maher is running s lowbudget campaign with as much personal contact as he can manage. “We don't have any money to speak of,” the candidate says, pointing out that his biggest fund raising effort netted only WOO. He expects to pay many of his campaign expenses out of his own pocket. “I've had tu depend on people's legs and their fists knocking on doors" for the campaign. Maher says. He said he's been very pleased to see how many of his friends were really willing to go out and work on his behalf. This week, he plans to spend much of his time st the Eaton County Fair, just as he spent many hours at the Barry County Fair two . weeks ago.

This is NOT A NEW MILLAGE BUT A CONTINUATION of our present opera­ tion and maintenance of these two departments for a period of four years (1976 through 1980). In dollars, this would mean $10 00 for every $10,000.00 assessed valuation. If this is defeated it would curtail services of both departments.

In front id a full court room Judge Mikesell chose to publicly embarrass them by (minting them out and asking why. d they could afford the bond. didn't they pay for the lawyer instead of letting the county do it. Thi» is "fairness**? The second case involves a man behind in child support (He wa* temporarily behind because he'd had surgery and had been ordered by his doctor not to return to work yet and had no income!) He wa* on crutche* and went to court 'short hatrcdl clean shaven, neatly dressed in a leisure suit anil tie, to lie told by Mikesell Ym will NOT appear in mv court in a leisure suit!" Then Mikesell proceeded to order hi* re turn to work saying "you can stand up you ran work!" This is "fairness’-.’ I'm sure there are many farmers w ho gut as angry as I did when they read in the July IV issue of the Hanner (by the way. if you are lurking this man. please have the courage Io come out ami say so. don't just hint a ill "For the next few weeks at least.

I wonder how many people know .ilw.ul the year* of sacrifice*, long hour* and hard physical labor they put into the building. \ place where young pro pie from all over the county could enjoy for free all different kind* of recreation with a Christian atmoa uhere. I know their heart is broken with the loss of this place, but knowing their dedication to young people they'll not give up. They have helped many teenager* over Ihe years plus the fact of the monthly supper* they served to many Harry County people.

There ia some truth to thia statement but let us reverie the situation. If Judge Mike sell were the type of judge he should have been, he also would not have ended up in front of a Supreme Court Judge who found it neces vary to suspend him for 18 month*. What ever the rea son he ended up in that situation. I'm not sure, but something he wasn't taught must have had something to do with itl I'm also a parent who has had the opportunity to see Judge Mikesell perform in person. I was shocked al hi* behavior and off the wall comment*. These are some of the statements made to a boy who just turned 17. The boy told him that he was going to night school the last two months. Judge Mikesell remark to that was, "Big bird feeder, split rail fence and picnic tables would en­ rich their atmosphere.

I wa* the first student to apply for thi* type of a program with the department and wa* very pleased with the enthusiasm with which Sheriff Wood accepted the program and realized the importance and the benefit* to be gained for the prospective Law En­ forcement personnel able to participate in this type of field experience program.

Respectfully Yours, Allen L Webb Te the r.4ft*r: On the night of July 28th, around 7 o'clock two women in a blue Chevrolet with a light top, dropped off a Utile white dog al Airport Road and Norway and then sped toward 37 leaving a bewild cred and sad dog to hi* destiny of no home, water or food in 87 degree weather. Compassion for animal* I* connected with goodness of iharacter; people who are giMxl to animals are usually good to people. Does this apply to you or don't you have any human friend* either? I cannot understand how anyone can perform such a detestable crime agaimt animals! For a nominal arnounl one can advertise in our local papers for a good home or a one minute call to our animal shelter will as­ sure a pickup of the unwant­ ed animal. At least they will be (ed and watered for 5 days with the possibility of adoption. Under Michigan law, animal abandonment can re­ sult In conviction of thi* offense. Sleep well, cat and drink heartily, women. I'm sure your little dog will not be as fortunate! Barry County Humane Society George T. Homeowner u» ed a hand pumped sprayer to put weedkiller on the thistles that had grown up along hi* back fence. Then he swished it out with water and used th* same sprayer to apply an insecticide on hi* tomato and pepper plants. Two day* later, George wvul lu ibe local greenhouse to buy new tomato and pepper plant*. George found out the hard way that weedkiller* don't kill just weeds. Weedkillers herbicides kill plant*. Care­ less use of herbicides often result* in damage to plant* other than the intended target. Using sprayers for more than one purpose is one way to gel herbicides on desir­ able plant*. Another ia to use a herbicide on a windy day. Drift from sprayers can travel a long way on a breeze to injure vegetables, flower* and landscape plant*. A separate sprayer far herbicides is a good invest­ ment. Keep it locked up with your weed-killing chemicals and label it "Herbicides On­ ly" to be certain it doesn't get used on vegetables or other desirable plants. Avoid damaging your ornamenlai*-or your neigh­ bor's prize roses-by spray­ ing herbicides only on a calm day. Early morning and C' cnir>K around sundosrn are usually the quietest time*. Spray carefully, using no more ol the chemical than needed, following label di­ rection*. If you must usn a sprayer for mure ihao i-ne iuod of chemical, dean it thorough­ ly. Water-soluble chemicals can be removed with repeat­ ed rinse* of water. Be sure to empty the rinse water on an area where there to no danger of contaminating ground water or injuring crops. Do not dump the rinse water down a storm drain. A strong solution of deter gent or washing soda left in the sprayer for 24 hours and sprayed through it before and after the soak should remove more stubborn chemical salts, he adds. Oil-soluble chemicals are very difficult to remove from a sprayer. Cleaning requires using kerosene or fuel oil or a solution of household ammonia and wa­ ler and this results in the problem of how to properly dispose of the cleaning ma­ terial. If you use an oil-solub­ le herbicide, your best bet to to have a separate sprayer for iL Thru The 01020101300002020902010201020202010201010100000201 To the Editor: I would like to lake this opportunity to publicly thank all the personnel of the Barry County Sheriff Depart.tenl for (heir help and co-operation with me while I was Interning with ■ hem on a program in affilia­ tion with Kellogg Communi­ ty College where I am working on my associate's degree tn criminal justice.

Garland and Howard CMson WORK WANTED David Millsop of Hastings recently spent a week with more than 140 other high school students from Michi gan. Illinois. Indians and Ohio, with interests in mathematics and science, exploring college level en­ gineering programs and life mi a university campus. They were guests of Michi gan Slate University and were boosed in two campus dormitories. The program, now in its 14th year, is organized an­ nually by MSB’s College of Engineering and the Con­ tinuing Education Service, to stimulate the kind of learning experience that leads to a better understand­ ing of how engineers fun­ ction in the modern world. About 16 projects in var­ ious fields of engineering were shared by the visiting students in the kinds of work they might do in their career years ahead. Some became invu’.ved in a civil engineering problem, designed to find the best traffic route between their dormitories at the north­ west corner of thr rampus and the Engineering Build­ ing in the central campus, but across the Red Cedar River that divides north and south campus. Others learned to use the electron microscope which can enlarge specimens to a 200.000th magnification, and to prepare specimens for exaauMtioa. Others did preliminary biomedical engineering re­ search into the properties of bones and soft tissues and the degree to which they respond to stress. One group investigated the computerised methods of dispatching electric power from power plants to com mercial and domestic users. Other projects the stu­ dents investigated were in the fields of chemical en­ gineering. design and graphics, computer wiener, environmental systems, per formatter levels of car en­ gines and testing strengths of a variety of materials used in engineering.

Sut he really got in the sprit of ’76 last week, when his oats wet- ready to harvest. As you can see by these photos, Jim used every old fashioned method, from the original hand sickle to the relatively modem grainbindcr The sickle and cradle he and his friends used just for the un of it, for a few strokes. But with thr grainbinder and its predecessor, the 100 year-old McCor­ mick Deering reap ', he actually har vested the field of uats. The grain cut with the reaper w is then tied by hand, and the whole field put up in shocks. The reaper Jim purchased at the auction of an Amish farmer in Honey­ ville, Ind., and he thinks it was made about 1870. The Amish family had used it for many years, before they went to newer horse powered equipment. The graiiibinder, Jim thinks, was made in the late 1920s or 1930s. It appears to have a newer carriage under it. Jim can well remember using similar equipment on the farm as a boy. Many friends and neighbors came by one of the evenings Jim was working in the oat field, to see how the equipment was working, give him a hand, try the skills for old times sake, and just reminisce on how things were when such equipment was in common use. Some of them were able to teach Jim a few things- like neighbor Richard Estepp, who showed him how to tie the bundles of grain by hand, using the stalks. And Jim’s dad, who got so enthusiastic with the cradle that he broke it. Then the bundle* mual be placed ia ahoch* by hand.

Anyway, it was good for some laughs. The half de-an TV cameramen blocked the view of marry other people (they love a staged press event- it's much easier to cover). And ail the Battle Crook city officials had their lanes well rehearsed in praise of Cedar Point. Cedar Point, for Its part, told what it wanted to. but not all. President Robert Munger admitted that the new Battle Crook facAty "isn't another Cedar Point". What fie meant was that it « going to be much smarter and provide fewer jobs- than the famous Ohio playground. When more specific questions wore asked about the number of out-of-state people drawn, the economic impact on sunoundlng communittoe. etc. Munger woo vogue, end noted that the park's marketing information to for Its private use.

Tax Us If You Must, Michigan, Thru The But Don't Ask for a Freebie The date did rt again The Michigan Employment Security Com msaion had the bad taste to aak the nawtpapere of Michigan. and The Banner in particular, to give eway free advertising space.

Good oT newspapers, they're probably ihinking, theyS print anything if they think it's pubfcc service. If it were genuine public senna, we might. But when rt meana g ving something free to the state which Is already taxing newspapers and many other businesses to death, they can forget it.

Customers of the Hickory Telephone Co., who are al­ ready paying the highest phone rates in the state, may be faced with an even higher monthly bill if the Michigan Public Service Commission approves the company's latest rate re­ quest. The Hickory Telephone Co. is seeking a $4.80 in­ crease in basic monthly ser­ vice rates on top of a 54 per eent rale boost granted last November by the MPSC. That November increase, from 110.60 to $ 16J5, result ed in a customer protest movement which helped coo vince the MPSC lo reevalu­ ate its decision. It wax during the opening session of the rehearing on Monday that the amount of the additional ($4.80) rate hike request was announced. If it is authorized by the MPSC. the Rat fee for wr vice would jump to $21.15. The company's motion lo include the supplementary rate request as part of the reopened rase brought ob jections from three attor neys. But, Administrative Law Judge James E. Mehl, who is presiding over the pro­ ceedings. said he would take the motions under advise ment. "I don't believe there's a real need to decide the motions at this time in as much as it will not affect the production of any evidence which has already been authorized to be produced." Ronald W. Emery, attor­ ney for the commission staff, had argued that the com­ pany's motion for an add! lional increase should be dismissed on the grounds that public notice was not given. Attorney Philip L. Hum­ mer. who represents sub­ scribers. concurred that the morion should be dismissed, saying that it was improper because the Intent of the rehearing is lo determine the raaxonablenexa of the rales approved last Novem­ ber. He termed the com­ pany's motion an attempt "to further confuse and dis tract." Supporting the arguments for dismissal. Attorney Hugh Anderson, represent ing the Attorney General's office, called the company's motion "an obstruction to the customers right of re­ hearing" Anderson said the request foe an additional rale in­ crease "smacks of pancxk ing” and noted that this kind of "pancake procedure" has been condemned by the MPSC in a case involving Consumers Power Co. Approximately 100 sub­ scribers of the Hickory Tele­ phone Co. attended the hear ing Monday which was held in the new Mercantile Build­ ing in Lansing where the entire commission is in the process of moving. The location of the rehear ing was the subject of a renewed request by Hum mer lo hold all the subse quent hearings in Hickory Corners. Judge Mehl denied the immediate request on the grounds lhet he did not have the authority lo change the location. Hummer said It would be a hardship for many of the subscribers to travel back and forth to Lansing lo attend the bearings. He also called the new heanng room facility a "dungeon", staling that the room was without natural light and had a poor sound system. Denied by Judge Mehl were other requests renew ed by Hummer which includ­ ed asking that the 54 per cent increase be suspended until the outcome of the rehearing and that subscrib­ ers be furnished free trans­ cripts of the rate review proceedings Former general manager of the Hickory Telephone Co.. R E. Borske was the first telephone company wit­ ness to undergo cross­ examination. Borske. who was general manager of the Hickory firm from December. 1973 through December, 1975, was transferred by Tele­ phone 4 Data Systems. Inc.. Hickory's parent company, to Peoples Telephone Co. in Alabama. In response to a question, Borske said during the period when he was employ ed at Hickory, he was also a vice president and general manager (on a percentage basis) for Clayton Telephone Co., another TDS »ubei diary. Many limes during Hum­ mer's cross examination of Boreke-Hummer asked Judge Mehl lo strike out portions of Borske's pre­ vious testimony which is on rve»rd as part of the original July. 1975 rale hearing. Based on Borske's answers Monday. Hummer claimed that those portions of testimony by Borske were "hearsay" and "convention talk." Hummer also noted that the commission staff did not have legal counsel at last year's original hearing. Judge Mehl said "any alleged difflclencies In the original record will oe point­ ed out. but not stricken." Cross examination of tele phone company witnesses is expected lo continue throughout the week. The cross examination of the subscribers witnesses will be held at a later date.

Pagr f Time Has Bypassed Yankee Springs By MIKE HOOGERLAND Th* tponlaneout tree carving act in th* IK30*« by a New Englander created thr name “Yankee Spring*.'* The designation of this area on an Indian trail through unsurveyed wildemeas in western Harry County was inspired during a midday rest at a small group at hopeful Yankee settlers. The name on the tree survived to become the name of one of southwestern Michigan's best public recreation areas. History reveals that Yan kee .Springs received its name in 1835 when a young man by lhe name of Charles Paul was eating lunch beside the spring with the family of another settler. Then a stranger joined them and during the conversation it was found cut that the whole group was from the New England stales. One mem her of the party referred to this fact by saying "wr are all Yankees' and Charles Paul cut a piece of bark off the side of a tree and carved lhe words "Yankee Springs" on it. The site is still known as Yankee Springs. Il be came the first stagecoach stop in the area and was an important trailing post. Yankee Springs has its full measure .if early Michi gan history, Indian lore, and scenic beauty. The glaciers nre mostly responsible for the area as it is today. The glaciers left a morainic ridge which at one point. Mt. Hope, is 250 feet above the level of take Michigan.

His hotel also became a welcome sight for the tired traveler and Yan­ kee Bill hi-camr known all over for hi* good fiMal and hospitality. He nt ver turned anyone away. According Io history, sometime* there were over a hundred |>eoplc staying at the hotel with sixty tram* stabled for thr night. The first post office in Harry County wa*al Yankee Spring* and Yankee Bill tawia carried lhe mail from Battle Creek to Grand Rapids himself. Yankee Bill wa* elected to the state legislature representing Allegan and Harry Counties in IM6. which was to ta the last year the capital was in Detroit. Il was moved to tansing in 1847. Yankee Bill's way station stayed in operation until about 1852, when other ro.ul* were finished which diverted the stagecoach trade. The new plank road between Gland Rapids and Kalamazoo wa* a shorter route which was completed in 1855 and wa* one of the main problem* lu Mr. tawi*' business. Another problem wa* that agriculture and farming failure* became numerous. Many of the settlers had to leave thi* area for a belter location. It ta-came evident that lhe ihin soil wasn't suited for grow­ ing imp*, so Yankee Bill tawis closed hi* blacksmith shop, hi* store, the tavern, and then his house, as the era of property came to an end. The hunting grounds of the Algonquin Indian* were never intended by nature to hold up to the coming of the while man. with hi* axe and plow. The limbered hillsides and beautiful prairies and marshes, once so full of game, wild berries and fruits, lay empty. The thin sod was exposed to lhe eroding and destroying force* of the wind and rain. Gone were the wild turkey, lhe deer and other game, and the Indian: gone wenthe great hardwood forests which had supplied the building material for farm* and homesteads; gone also were the landseeker-. Another thing gone was tta topsoil which had started it all. Gone, loo, was the oak «o which were carved the word* "Yankee Springs" on an August day not too long before. In 1934. only a century after tta first white settle merit*, lhe United Slate* Resettlement Administn lion started a land rehabih lotion program. The ad ministration, through thi* program, purchased ap proximately 4.200 acres of thr thin land which had once hern Yankee Springs, and, now. it was again Yankee Spring*! Through thr rehabilita lion program reforestation and erosion control was be­ gun. The old farm buildings and fence* were torn down and removed. In 1936 the National Park Service look over and carried on with the program hy building camp building*, a bathhouse and cleaning up beaches for Tta Old Way-Jim Smith of Wellman Road, Woodland, and his neighbor* seemed to enjoy threshing hi* oat* the old way.

We all enjoyed and ap­ preciated W.T. Wallace, a high school teacher of bottUW. latter he was high - hool principal and vupcrin ■ndenl of our Sunday -chool. For many year* hr taught .i Sunday School class of High School Imys and girls, mostly girl*. He alway* brought worth while thought* and discussion* to our group and cloied each session with a short, distinct summary of points, that had hcen brought out. I remember well the Sun­ day I joined this Presby­ terian Church. That was lhe year I wa* assigned to Imhousekeeper (or my older sister* and brothers. They were all working. Saturdaynight came and I suddenly realized no meal had been ordered for our Sunday din nor. Well, there was no reason to worry my sisters about that. I would just get up early in thr morning anrl catch one id those hen* out m the chicken coop at the far end of the garden. Get up. I did. put water on to boil for scalding the feather*, found thr ax and put il by the block id wood al the edge of the garden and proceeded Io the hen house. 1 was lucky, caught a fair sized hen on thr first grab. Getting a good hold of thr leg* with my left hand. I reached the womi block on which the head was placed, gave a vigorous chop with the ax and quickly stuck lhe neck down into the aand. A very neat job! Hy the time breakfast was ready, that chicken was ■ leaned and ready to be roasted. As I wa* walking down to be accepted into lhe mem bership of this church. I flippantly lh<. ight. I had in a way prepared a Sacrificial ■ffcring for my family this morning. I remember when another minister wa» to arrive in June 1917. There were some improvement* the trustee* * anted to make al lhe manse ind my hu»bznd told :hem that we were going to he at the lake all summer ind the family rould live in >ur house until lhe work was 4.,ne I r»me to oLng in \ugusl and suggested that my husband find out if that manse was ready for the family to move into. Would you believe it? Nothing had iieen done, just talk among the trustee*, no one had followed through or engaged any workmen. When we came into town in September, the Johnsons moved in with the minister, hi* wife and little 7 year old girl. We lived together for a month. I remcrrlx-r that man had r>oe good sermon We com menled on it. The next spring he gave that sanksermon again, won! fur word. When shaking hand* with him a* wc were leaving lhe church, he said to me. "How did you like my sermon, today?" I answ ered, "Il was a . .-ry good sermon lhe first time you used it, but I did not care much for il again to day." He really had a good laugh. In recalling this incident. 1 felt so sure those folks were with us at least three years, but in looking over lhe roster of minister* this chureh ha* had. I found they were only here one year, until June I9IM. Some one must have worked very quickly io take care of that situation. There must have been an influx of energetic indivi­ duals among the trustee board, for I remember when thr men started talking to­ gether about making a bet ter chureh building and they really went right at it in 1920. Thii sanctuary wa* put up on blocks, had a hascc'cn: area excavated out for a dining room and kitchen, raised the building up on a good foundation. Maybe some of those dear ladies thought - If we only had more space, we could serve more people at our church supper* and charge 50e. Mr. Emil Tyden and his brother. Oscar, offered to pay for the elevated en­ trance, lhe enlarged narthex with stain going up Io a usable balcony and new golden oak sealing waa ar­ ranged in a semicircle. The pulpit wa* placed toward the NE corner with the choir behind the minister and the piano in lhe right front, so lhe pianist could direct the choir. |Ta Be Coaliwwwdl A GOOD SIGN!

IS?S Co ■y CAMERON MeLNTYRE About one and one-half mile up stream from Morgan was Barryville which would have detracted from Morgan if the railroad had not by­ passed it. About I860 the comtnu nity had been platted for 130 lots and several streets. Berryville had a saw mill, blacksmith, stone grist mill, doctor, sash and door far lory, two shoe makers, a harness maker, post office, and s carpenter. Mr. C. Higdon and Mr. C. l-athrop built the grist mill which stone-ground grain. Htghbank Creek, by a dam on the Higdon property fur­ nished the power. An old stage coach road went right by the eart side of Clarence Higdon's house, and a few feet farther south al Harold Higdon's there was an inn for lodging or meals. The road went near the creek for a ways and then took to the higher ground. Man, houses near Barry ville are brick, which were made in a near by kiln. The house on top of the Barry ville hill also kept over night guests. Four early families in Barryville were Mudge. Higdon, Lathrop and Soules. Barryville. in my early yean, waa known as a place of goodwill. Many times if something special waa at the church. Ihe entire com­ munity would be there. Will Hyde was Sunday School superintendent for 40 years and had a wonderful personality. If a person lived in Barryville very long and didn't come to serve the laird, it waa exceptional. About another one and one half mile up High bank from Barryville was a place called HanchetviUe. Il was by where Glen Roush now lives. Here waa another saw mill, grist mill, and black­ smith shop again powered by Highbank Creek There was something dif (erent about this saw mH) in that thare »erv two saws with one running directly above the bottom saw. This allowed the sawing of a much larger log with one pass through and no turning. My grandfather. James McIntyre, came from Glen gary. Canada, and used to help raft logs down the St. Mwrenee river. One day he went over in Ohio and found a job. He and some other men hired out to Bigieow Harley and drove a herd of cattle through the wilderarts, from Ohiu to a place quite a bit farther north than Barry County, it was quite a walk. On the way home he found and bought a 60 acres in section 36. Hast ings Township. He went back io Ohio, married grandmother and they lived on thia place many years. It was in sight of Thocnapple Lake. Grand dad knew Indian Chief Asquesh as a friend. One day granddad was chopping wood in the woods, alone, he thought. As his ax was raised to strike, a strong grip came on his shoulder Turning, he found Chief Asquesh's grinning face only inches from his own. Not instantly recognizing the chief, granddad almost struck with the ax The »ld chief thought it a great joke to display his stealthiness. In Barryville cemetery is a headstone that reads GONEHOME INDIAN CHIEF A8QUE8H This noble red man died sometime around 1870. one of God's children. Second Class Postage paid st Hastings. Mich.

HriMdway Appeal To All To Drive Safely Over Weekend A twopart traffic safety appeal to motorists in Michi­ gan concerning the tabor Bay w eekend and lhe annual school reopenings is being made by Col, George I.. Halverson, State Police di­ rector. In one part, motorists, pedestrians and bicycle riders are urged to give proper attention lo traffic rules in cooperating with various po>ice tabor Day patrols in efforts to reduce risk of accidents, tast year holiday traffic mishaps in Michigan claimed 25 lives. The five year average is 27. In the other. Halverson noted that tabor Day is an annual reminder that schools will be resuming weekday operations. This calls for greater motorist alertness for lhe safely con corns of school bus and student pedestrian traffic everywhere in the state, he emphasized. Regarding the 78 hour holiday patrols from 6 p.m. Friday. Sept 3. until mid­ night Monday. Sept. 6. Hal verson said that Stale Police district commanders arc be­ ing instructed to schedule their officers to provide maximum coverage in their areas during hours of great est need. This is usually from 3 to 7 p.m.. each day of the holiday period, or what is regarded as high action lime in terms of traffic volume, greater accident risk, and previous roadway experience. Patrol officers are direct­ ed to give special attention to traffic violations which have accident producing risk. Halverson said. These include driving under the influence of intoxicants, ex­ ceeding speed limits, im­ proper turning and stop­ ping. etc. The director said the holiday patrols would include extensive use of the department's selective en­ forcement teams in the dis­ tricts.

The first settlement in ‘listings Township was in 1*37 near where the Medical Fariluy now stand*. At this place also was tffe log school house, which in eluded what Inter became the Pratt School on River Hoad and Quimby School at Quimby. Tbe twnches for the pupils to sit on were logs that had been 'pill. The first teacher at Quimby was l-ucinda Hol comb who received M2 for 12 week. <r S3JU a week The school was built in |M» and msi JeiM) Since l**W this school has had about 100 different teachers.

Perhaps we could even end up with a few paper industries set up a­ long the Thornapple so Hast ings could smell like Otsego and Muskegon! My hope is that we have enough preservation minded people left in Barry County tu see that lhe desire for exploitation does not ruin lhe natural beauty of this County! Sincerely. Hay Fitch To lhe FJilor: G<x>d morr’itg Hastings Banner! And shanks for that nirc mention of our “wrath er report" on our correspon dence. Il wa* a "sunny morning" here when your paper wa* passed around. I grew up on a farm a few mile* north of Hastings in the 20's and 30 s and Hast ings wa* our "big city" then. I personally was very in­ terested to read Yankee Spring* ivaiiy still existed. I come lo Hasting* often via that route and will look it up. Sincerely. Katherine Fritter I Forslund's Office I To the Editor: Another View on "Cedar Point Press Conference" I was somewhat amused and disgusted with "Hugh's Muse Views" of lhe Cedar Point I’rcss Conference in Hallie Creek. I was one of the other "Several Hundred People" that attended. I •loud directly across the mom from the Banner Pub­ lisher. so 1 had the same v icw a* he did. E'or lhe past year there ha- been much speculation on Cedar Point coming to ■Little Creek. A* a lifelong resident of Harry lounty ■nd a person who makes his living in lhe area. I was happy to hear announe ment of lhepress conference ■m lhe radio. Myself and two business associate* decided lo attend. We fell there would probab­ ly lie many people there and so we left early to be sure and get in on lime. We arrive about 15 minutes early and when we started to park there was a sign on the parking that said "Press Parking" and an altendent to answer questions and direct people. We went on to another parking lot as not to take press space, and walked back several hundred feet to lhe building. I thought it was rather considerate of the people involved to cater to the pres* in this helpful way When we arrived at the Auditorium there was a table lor "I’m**" to sign in al and they were given a map of the proposed Cedar Point development area and those who signed later were given a well prepared Cedar Point information packet with many details. 1 don't know if those who didn't get there on lime and "Sneaked in the -ide door" got this informs lion or not. When we went inside there were many people there but there were many scats yet available with Re­ served for l*ress cards on the tables. In fact W.R.C.H. and your Chamber of Com mcrce was already there and there were vacant seats beside them. They had the forrsite to get there on time and gel a seat. As these tables were "Reserved for lhe Press," I stood. Al 10:00 the special City Commission meeting was caiied for the benefit of the press to acknowledge lhe signing of lhe agreement to purchase land for Cedar Point, at which time many pielures and T.V. film were taken. M I latter saw in newspapers and on televi -ion. The Banner had no pictures. After the City Commit won meeting the press con ferenre started with Mr. Munger, president of Cedar Point announcing lhe pro jecl with as much detail at could be at this lime. He then asked for questions and answered many, and kept his composure even when some reporters were quite rude and incourteotu. He answered all questions and when there were n.. more he excused himself. All in all Battle Creek Unlimited and Cedar Point apparently spent much thought and time preparing the Presa Conference, and they did an excellent job. It was a very Interesting r.ent. In summary how often docs our area get a business that will build a 25 30 million dollar plant? And provide 1,200 lo IJOO job* with a spin off of up to 5.000 job* within si* mile* of the Barry County line. This will be an excellent place foe our son* and daughters to visit aad alto work. After "Two Decades" in the new* business I exrtainly think the Publisher should be ahle lo come up with a positive Editorial for Cedar Point; the Harry County public certainly was misinformed with hi* Hugh's Muse View. I certainly hope when we and our children from Harry County try to get jobs at Cedar Point or go the park to play, Mr. Munger and Cedar Point don't judge us or asssociate u* with "Hugh'* Muse". So come on Mr. Publisher If you are going to represent lhe fine people of Barry County, help build lhe future, don't tear it down. Sincerely. James U King Detf Community People: 1 would like lo tell you what Adult Education means lo me. 1 was scared when I first started. I didn't participate much in class, hut lhe teachers are friendly and helped me lo talk more and to pitch ri;;ht in. Even though ;.*.y daugh ter* are in a low grxdc. they are very proud of me. I feel that if you don't have a high school diploma, you should co«nc bark. You learn much more because you are in a different atmosphere, a re­ laxed atmosphere.

The plan was discussed by about 25 leaders from both offlres. Recreation State Game Rep. Wayne Sackett that a representative would attend ate Highway Department failed to ehow up. Jack Kineman. engineer­ manager of the Barry Coun­ ty Road Department, said that the Barry County por­ tion of the road could bo upgraded foe an estimated 1900,000. Thio would include improving the curves to make them less sharp and improve visibility, add good gravel shoulders, and apply a new blacktop surface extensively, at a cost of 8634JOO More than five miles of lhe 8.18 miles distance from lhe Barry County line to U.8. 181 should have "complete re­ construction." according to Fred Neils, engineer man ager of the Allegan County Road Department. Rep. Sackett, who chaired the meeting, and Richard Road Commission, said there are precedents for the state payinr to improve county roads Rose cited per Peninsula and northern Lower Peninsula, where the state had paid for similar concerning lhe road, dating as far back as 1988. At traffic studies. and a state highway suggested tor the "It seems the trend of lhe Stale Highway Department to to get rid of roads," not take on new ones, Kineman commented. Kineman said that it is getting more difficult to maintain Chief Noonday Road in its present slate. Heavy traffic to hard on lhe Kineman said that aver age daily traffic, year a vehkWt in 1973 to 2.700 this traffic is tourist traffic." he said. "We feel strongly this is someone elee’s re­ sponsibility." In answer to questions. Russ Cooley, manager of the Yankee Spring Recreation Area, said that the Depart ment of Natural Resources "is not in lhe road building business." He said that ex­ cept for roads within DNR facilities, the DNR is not given any funds to assist on public roads. Cooley affirmed that lhe annual attendance at Ysn limes in past years, he said, the parking Iota were full in These crowds resulted In traffic jams on nearby roads. More recently, the crowds spread more throughout the week and lhe summer. More people are using county road* for access to Yankee Springs, but the crowds are spread out more. Cooley said. In answer to a question, Cooley said there are no plan* to expand lhe facilities at Yankee Springs. The day use area, be said, to already the largest one in a Michigan stale park. "We're not asking for something to set a prece­ dent," Rose staled. "We know precedents have al­ ready been set." He said the County Road Commission to interested primarily in mak ing the road safe for the large traders s.-.d trucks which use it. as well as passenger vehicles. "Numerous counties" in lhe stale get stale money for roads to fishing access sites. Rove pointed out. "Were asking them to tell us how that was worked." After the meeting, Kineman told The Banner that the county would save a substantial amount of money in maintenance if the road to rebuilt as he proposes. For lhe next 10 yean, "patching would be nil." Kineman said. Over a 20 year petiod, the county pro­ bably would save as much a* the improvement* would cost now. However, he pointed out, it would not be economical to issue bonds to pay for the improvement* and pay interest on those bond* a* well as principal. Rep. Sackett urged those present to use political pre* sure on lhe state to pre** for a new road. He said that the project probably would re­ quire special legislation for the financing. When asked what the criteria would be for this legislation, Sackett smiled and replied "you need 56 votes-that's all you have to have." Sackett said that the more individuals and local groups are willing to write to Lans­ ing. the more likely that stale money will be obtained for the road project. Kensinger Jones, chair­ man of the county economic development planning com­ mittee. said that be would see that the committee tends a letter of support for the road to Rep. Sackett. Jones also asked a number of question* during the meeting. When planning for eco nomic development. Jone* said, "it always comes back to road*" for tourism, or industry. Harting*. Michigan Jacobs’ S.

Hastings, Nashville Students Attend MSU Program Seek Nunes For The chimes of Beaumont Tower canlion and the sum­ mer breeze whispering through the pines weren't the only cheerful sounds drifting through the summer air at Michigan State Uni­ versity this summer. More than 300 high school students from Michigan and five other stales as far away as Hawaii and Connecticut made beautiful music in this year's Summer Youth Music Program. June 27 through July 24.

Mias. Stahl, who entered horse pulling contests himself foe about a quarter of a century, handled the national pulling contest held at the Ionia County Fair. There were teams from Mississippi in the national contest, and the owners liked lhe manner In which Stahl conducted that contest They told their own »UU officials about him. Missis sippi officials contacted him. agreed that Stahl could run Twentieth District Slate Senator Harry DeMaso isn't up for reelection this year. But. he arts like a man who has a ready made campaign issue he can use to his advantage anytime he chooses: namely that the new Cedar Point Amuse ment Park at Battle Creek Is going to have a tremendous impact on the area and that those who plan and prepare property are going to share in the prosperity. "Planning is the name of the game" was lhe theme of a meeting of area govern mental leaders and Chamber <>f Commerce executives held at Battle Creek Thurs day night. "We have just 20 months to get ready for the impact •4 Cedar llnnt DeMaso said. Thr state senator gave a step by step description of lhe land acquisition plan al Fort Custer and asserted that the »ame type of plan ning and teamwork that landed thr $25 30 million amusement park for Battle Creek will also provide op port unities and problems for other communities, within perhaps a 60 mile radius of Baltic Creek. Hr frequently mentioned Hastings. Marshall. Cold water. Galesburg. Augusta and other communities to illustrate his point. Dozens of governmental units, in­ cluding Hastings and Delton in Barry County, were rep resented at DeMaso's meet ing. their contest under Mkhi gan and national rules, and Suh! agreed lo go south. He leaves Oct. 13 and will run three welglil divisions. 2.800 pounds. 3.200 and lhe heavyweight. Stahl f'nnerly lived on lhe Good) ear farm north of Coals Grore. One y>*r while he was pulling, his fine team was entered in 28 fairs, and never finished lower than third place. He quit pulling about 10 years ago. Stahl has been superinten­ dent of the horse pulling contest at Lake Odessa for 25 years, and at Ionia for Tbe impact almost ripped the lop of the cab off the truck, and Myers suffered a severe gash on his bead and was dazed. Officer Miller said Hr was taken to Pen­ nock Hospital. The truck left 81 feet of skid marks before hitting tbe limb. Performance is also an important part of the stu­ dents learning experience. Huth groups gave several recitals and concerts on cam­ pus and in thr local com munity. Area Receives Refreshing Rain, Too Late For Corn The Hastings area receiv­ ed a refreshing rain Satur­ Daaatag <4 the Harting* airfield duri^ tbe Dews Patrol on Sunday. Aug. 22. day morning, but hardly enough to do much good for the corn crop in Barry County, according to Arthur Steeby. director of lhe MSU Extension Service in Harry County. Barry County received only JO of an inch of rain Friday. Saturday and Sun day. according lo records kept at the city's waste treatment plant. In all of August, only .89 of an inch of rain fell. Steeby said even if more rain had fallen, it would have been too late for much of lhe corn crop. Farmer' are already put ting their corn in silos for feed, and while much of the corn isn't as good quality a* desired, it will provide plenty of feed. Thr drought has seriously hurt the cash crop. An early frost will hurt, too. Steebv added. Steeby said the lack of a weather modification pro gram may have hurt area farmers, l-ast season the area received pretty good rain coverage when about $9,000 was spent on weather modification Steeby said most of tbe alfalfa second cutting was already completed. Gardens and lawns have suffered greatly because of the drought. Ywillg M„ Gi¥eB Probatioil J.D. Cousins. 18, W. Green Street. Hastings, was sentenced Friday.

"And Battle Creek is go ing to be just as great and Just as good as the one at Sandusky.’ DeMaso stated with mil -.ionary real. "With the number of acres they've gut for development here this one will eventually be three limes as big as Sandusky." DeMaso *a.d "And yes. the 'Corkrerew wdl be here." "Imagine, over 8> 75 mil­ lion for just one ride!" Cedar Point ha* a knack for doing things the right way and making money as a result. IieMaso said. He said last year Cedar Point. Inc. had gross revenues of 835 5 million and a net income of over 85 million. They 're going in do very well here inside the boun darie* of their park, but there will be an awful k>< of spinoff benefits or offshoots for a lot of you." DeMato »aid. "Yes. therell be some problems, like traffic pat tern*, planning and zoning and not over building businexres." Noone wants a thousand hot -log stands going up in this area" "And investors are going to have to rememlier that with something like Cedar Point you're dealing with a seasonal operation Mernor lai Day toabo:!

"Perhaps the new Port of Entry designation will pro vide a theme, maybe for some new exhibit hall*."

T.K. Retd owned the resort and then Carl Sanborn, who loti lhe hotel by fire. When a lad. I used lo ride the tram lo Hasting* for 13e. The old depot was not used anymore. There was a pole with a semaphore that any one could set to stop the train The semaphore was a board bolted to the pole off renter enough so it hung down On lhe light or lop end was fastened a wire that reached above the ground enough that a small boy could not reach rt. When ! wanted to take the train I pulled the wire down so the semaphore was horizontal, and then there was a ran venient |wg to hook lhe wire on and hold it in that position Some stuff far me. a lad. to stop a train. That was the day of the old ranting steamer en gine*. I well remember of hearing thr driver wheels spin when power was ap plied too fast There was a boa of sand so located that it cuuld be spread ahead of lhe driver wheels, when lhe tram started boys would place horse shoe nails oo lhe rails, and when lhe train had passed they would find them in many curious shapes A little west of Thorn­ apple Resort, where the railroad is right beside the lake, was a ramp, built from tbe water lo the rail tracks. Il was called the ice elide. In tbe winter when the ice would get tu be 12 inches or more in thickness. it was cut into square cakes, slid up lhe ramp and pul in railroad car*. The ice was sent to Grand Rapids and Jackson where it was packed in store houses with plenty of mw dust for insulation. Here it would last moot of the summer before thawing. Many people gathered at Thornapple for family re­ unions. school picnics, and other holidays. July 4 was always a big day. My dad. Archie McIntyre, and the neighborhood boys were hired lo stable the teams of horse* that brought the people in families on wagons and surreys. If you had lived in those day* you would never dis­ pute that they were the good old days. Why? More consideration for others, more trust in God. than these days now. leM greed, and many who had real satisfaction and peace in their hearts.

Howard suggested that not many of those attending this meeting have personal memories of Kim Sigler and thought that some comment concerning the only Barry County citizen ever lo serve as Governor of Michigan would he of general interest. Kim came to Hasting* a* a young lawyer from Detroit and wa* soon recognired as a trial attorney of exceptional ability. His entry into poll tics came oddly enough at Ihe suggestion of a group of Republican friend* here who suggested that he run for the office of Prosecuting Attorney of Barry County on the Democratic Ticket to oppose the Republican Can didatc whose legal standing wa* decidedly nil and who was later disbarred. Kim won a smashing vie lory and this brought him a modicum of state rerogni lion a Democrat victorious in a Republican strong hold wav something rather spe­ cial in that era. enough in fact, to win for Kim the nomination for Attorney General on the State Demo cratic ticket. He was defeated, of course, since Michigan wa* strongly Republican at that time hut here in Barry Cbunly he ran far ahead of other* on hi* ticket.

Hr also ha* a gun owned by Abraham lanroln's guard There were Pottawatomie and Ottawa Indians at Quim by. Mr. William Devine came to Bai ry County in 1853 and he wrote numerous article, about Indian* and pioneer days. He lived on the same farm in Castleton Township for TO year* and counted as fnends Aakasaw, Mochi,, and Sundago. Askasaw was a Christian. Askasaw'a canoe was taker lo Ann Arbor.

The store at Quimby was like old fashioned country •tore*. It was a gathering place for many of the nrighiKiring men who came to play cards in the evenings. Il wu in the Culelein family fur many year* Charles f'astelein was the first own rr. and the last one was Henry Castelein. Henry al­ ways loved to play tncka.

Com munity School director, at 795 3313. later became a registered Republican and after an interval of several years decided to run for Slate Senator of the District that w a* then composed of Barry. Allegan. Casa and VanBuren counties. However, this district was al the lime arch Republican, and if vou had not lieen born of Republican parent* and served in the party all your life, you were viewed with suspicion when seeking pub­ lic office. Kim wa* opposed in the primary by Bud Tripp of Allegan an A-l individual whose life long allegiance to the G.O.P. was never ques­ tioned. Bud won the party nomination and served tn Ihe Slate Senate for several terms. Kim's greatest fame actu­ ally came after he left Hast ings to form a law partner­ ship with Burnett Hamilton of Battle Creek. Thr new firm was scarcely well un­ derway when Kim was ask­ ed to serve a* special prose­ cutor for the Carr Grand Jury delving into legislative irregularities. Kim always at hi* best in the field of trial law, gave a spectacular per­ formance that made banner headlines throughout the stale. With the momentum thus gained, it waa inevitable that be should win the Republican gubernatorial nomination and defeat Mur­ ray Van Waggoner in the State final*. It la no reflec­ tion on Kim to point out that the apecial temperament and ability needed to make one an outstanding trial lawyer are not necessarily the qualitie* beat suited to carry one through the ordeal of serving as state governor in a democratic aociaty. People expected too much too soon of thia dynamic trial lawyer whoae courtroom session* were so colorful and eventful. Kim probably did a* well in office aa anybody al the time could have done. But people were looking for miracle* and a public that applauded hia Grand Jury performance became di«illusiooed with his accom­ plishments as guvernor and he wa* defeated for re-elec­ tion by a young Democrat named G. Mcnnen (Soapy) William*, a political un­ known whom Kim had *p pointed to Ibe Liquor Con­ trol Commission at the sug­ gestion of Fred Alger, hi* Secretary of State. After retirement from politic*. Kim established a very successful law practice in Lansing and later was killed in an air crash while attempting to pilot his plane through adverse weather condition*. Kim always con­ sidered Hasting* his home and he and his wife are buried in Riverside Ceme­ tery here. No discussion of Barry County political persocali tie* should be made without mention of John Ketchum, a Harry County farm boy who became master of the Na­ tional Grieg' and served several terms a* Represen­ tative ...' .he old 4th Con­ gressional Diatrict. John was a fruited and respected personality throughout the district. Hi* defeat came because of changing senti­ ment that resulted in repeal of the Volstead Act passed during World War I that installed prohibition on a national basis. He was himself a prohibi Honist and had had the undivided support of pro­ hibitions throughout Michigan during hi* con gressionai career. So John decided he had rather risk defeat than go contrary to his own conviction and thus turn his back on friend* of long standing. Jnhn wu defeated for reelection and gave way lo an unknown (I forget his name) who lasted for only a single term. Il was then that an Alle­ gan attorney named Clare Hoffman came on the scene and served term after term, even in the fare of fierce opposition by the big labor union*, until failing health forcer! him to retire. Clare waa colorful, agreasiva and articulate - an individual who thoroughly enjoyed a verbal free fee all. When the Republican con I ingen t in Congrea* waa at an all time low during the early years of the Naw D.al Administration. Clare waa one of the few who consis­ tently spoke out loud and clear for the Republican point of view - and be did It with a Will Roger* type of wit that drew a crowd to listen whenever be spoke. Although Clare waa tag­ ged by hia enemiea aa an arch-conservative, he actual­ ly went out of hia w»y to assist promising new Repub­ lican congressmen to get position* of responribility within the party organisa­ tion despite the Old Guard opposition. One of the new­ comer* he helped in thia manner «. a young re pre sentative from Grand Rapid*, named Gerald R. Ford. Mentioning repeal of th* Volstead Act brings to mind one of the finest gentlemen I have ever known, the late Dean Eugene Davenport, who after a distinguished career in the Geld of Agricultura! education returned to the base be had always considered hwne - the farm outside Woodland, first set­ tled by his father. Although the Dean never ran for any county office, he mad* hia influence felt in many way*. When delegates were selected to attend the State Convention in Lansing to repeal the 18th Amend­ ment. Barry County aent Dean Davenport, an avowed dry who opposed repeal. I really believe that majority opinion in Barry County al the time favored repeal but the Dean was such a tre­ mendous individual that no one wanted to vote againat him. So. our county had the distinction of sending the one. lone dry delegate to that Repeal Convention. Th* Dean asked me along lo serve a* his secretary an honorary position only, since there was no actual work to do. Needleaa to say both of us were overwhelmingly outnumbered - but I remem ber lo 2a day the tremen dous show of respect accord ed the Dean. He wu really the hero of the day - not a single sarcastic or critical remark wu hurled In hia direction. I think th* dele­ gate* had genuine admira­ lion for this scholarly gentle min » ho. despite the odd*, stood up for his convictions with so much courage and dignity. The above are but a few of the personalities and inci­ dents that come to mind in looking backward through the years. Others might well be mentioned, Lett Feigh ner. foe instance, the home­ spun philosopher and polltrian who once edited the Nashville New* and served several terms in the Stale legislature; or Dr. Frank (another*, a local dentist who gave the county Repub lican Party such effective leadership during the early New Deal years; or Ellis Faulkner, a pharmacist and druggist with stores in Del­ Ion and Middleville who served effectively during the Roosevelt yeare aa county chairman and later u Representative in the Slate Legislature. Then there wu Tin, Dostor, a "Scattergood Haynes" aort of character who served the county for year* u deputy sheriff and sheriff until his death that came of heart failure while assisting neighbor* lo bring a raging brush fire under control. Hui. I promised Howard to keep thia talk brief and, whether or not the subject mailer corresponds with what he had ir mind I hop* I have at least hit the bulb eye in regard lo the time limit. �THE HASTINGS BANNER.

The Don Strait*' To the Editor: The great oak tree grows and draw* its strength from its original roots, in spite of the passing of year*. So. also should a nation or family do likewise. The Spanards came to America for gold. Many of the French came for trade and adventure. Where are they now? Those who came as God fearing people to establish homes and families and produce food and nrces sities were the roots of America. These people were a happy and satisfied people. There was a brotherhood among them, that we need m> badly today. Perhap* we bek a spirit of thanksgiving in our hearts that the early settlers had so much of. These pioneer, felt secure in the constitution that the great and God fearing men who wrote it. for their guarantee of present and future liberty. The constitu lion wa* such that it could grow by ammendment* that had roots in its preamble. It could be said that between the God honoring men, that brought this na lion of America forth, there was a covenant with God which was spelled out in the preamble to our constitu tion. God gave honor to this. The common man made America. Of *ueh. were the early settler*. As the Bible say* "Well done my good and faithful servant;" rather than a fine job Mr. Genius. last's perpetuate the phil osophy of these early sett ler* who came to make home*. Homes make a pro pie who love their country. Back in World War lime* the Scottish Harry Lauder used to travel this country. He »ang "0! ti* nice to get up in the Morning, but ti* nicer to lie in bed.- He really went all out when said, "Don't Bite the Hand that's Feeding You". I think he caused many a person to have a greater love for our country. Carle Zimmerman said. "No Civilisation has ever survived the disintegration of its home life. "* The home, church and school were established by our government, and the degree to which these insti­ tutions flourish determines the condition of America. Fbch must do it* own duty and bbor. We no longer live in isolation as did the early settlers, and that bring* u* face to face with the fact that all people* of the world need food, shelter, and doth ing. and compassion. We have failed to show kindness and give credit to thr help of the American Indian, to the early settler*. Our history book* often discredit the Indian and fail to tell that the white mon was lheeause of the Indian's trouble*. The Indian wa* willing to share and wa* no savage. He gave the pio neers seeds of corn. bean*, and squash. He waa self sufficient and only fought for self-preservation. He was the first environmentalist in America. He didn't kill game just for pleasure. Hi* brand of democracy in the tribe ha* never been equaled in Amer We hope to give some personal and unnoticed facts about. Quimby Morgan.

September 8. 1976 Farmer! Feeding Drouth-Stricken Corn Must Consider Weather Conditions Farmer* considering feed ing drouth stricken corn ail age should give careful eon sideration to the weather condition* it was grown under when deciding upon how to feed and price it to livestock. Depending on the amount of drouth sires* thr corn silage ha* sustained, it* energy value will typkally range between 70 and 90 percent of normal, says Dr. Dan FoF wad Dr. Roy Black. Michigan Stale University Cooperative Extension ani­ mal husbandry specialist and agricultural economist, respectively. Drouth st rested com sil age’s energy value ran lie more closely pinpointed by consideration of the grow ing season: -If the corn has been stressed all summer, ha* no ear* and is short, the energy value will be about 70 per cent of normal corn silage This is a roughl estimate since no research has been conducted -Nebraska studies sug gest corn which ha* not been a* severely stressed Inin niog 10 bushels per acre) will have HO percent the energy of normal corn sil Michigan studies suggest corn which came under heal and drouth stress during pollination (has normal stalk development, but relatively barren stalks and ear* 20 percent grain in corn silage dry matter*. ha* 90 percent of the energy value nor mal corn silage All nutrient values as­ sume comparison* are made al the same moisture eon tent of the corn silage. ■Droughty" silage typical ly ha* a higher protein content than normal silage according to Dr. Fox. Pro tein utilization depends upon the form in which it exist* in the plant. Protein in the corn plant may be readily soluble, therefore easily degraded, while protein in corn grain may be slowly degraded. A large portion of tbe protein in normal silage come* from grain, but protein in drouth­ damaged corn is found in the corn plant. Droughty corn silage may need to be supplemented differently from normal sil abe because protein sup plementa containing nonpro tein nitrogen appear to work relatively les* well with droughty than normal sil age. In Nebraska invesliga tions. steer calve* carried from 400 to 700 pound* performed les* efficiently on a 60 percent protein, urea based supplement than on soybean meal. Tbe difference, however. was substantially greater for the droughty silage, with the urea supplemented eat tie being nearly 20 percent less efficient than the soy­ bean meal supplemented cattle. For the normal silage, the difference wa* less than H percent, a result consistent with previous research on light cattle. The dry matter content of droughty silage must be In the normal range tn make good silage. 30 to 35 percent. If the corn did not set ear* and is green or if the ear* are all brown and the stalk is green. the moisture content will Im* too high; but hot. dry weather can cause rapid moisture drop, so keeping an eye on moisture content is essential. If in doubt, gel a moisture lest. Although nitrate level* ia drouth stricken corn may he high, ensiling will destroy more than half the nitrate level Therefore, thr best and safest use is for silage. But when feeding, make a gradual introduction, taking a week to fully introduce silage tn the ration. The crop may be used for pasture, but avosd potential nitrate toxicity. If cattle are turned into tbe corn, start with a few head, watching them to ace if problem* occur. Introduce cattle gradually because toxicity is less likely if animal* have the opportunity to adapt to high nitrate levels. The aai nub should be fed nrfore turning into the field fur limited time*. Even though the leaves may lie yellow, the corn plant could carry high ni­ trate level* because of the underdeveloped plant volume and the fart that plants did not metabolize nitrogen. The maximum amount a livestock producer can af­ ford for droughty corn silage will be determined by alter native feedstuff* available, typically shelled corn and alfalfa hay. He will not want to pay to feed his cattle hy purchasing droughty corn silage than ho would have to Cy if he were to purchase y and corn, according to Dr. Black. An alternative compart son can I* based on the economi' value ol normal corn silage. The energy value ol droughty corn sil age i» le-« 'han normal corn silage, so additional corn must be added to the ration to generate the same perfor mince. Based upon 550 per ton half bloom alfalfa hay and 52.30 per bushel shelled corn, the maximum a pro ducer cal afford to pay lor 90 percent of normal. Blood Clinic droughty corn silage i* 519 per ton. 32 percent dry matter bad*. For HO percent of normal, droughty corn silage the maximum value is 514.50 per ton. Alternative ly. if we price against normal corn silage al 117 per ton. the maximum amount we can afford to pay for drough ty corn silage is 1 tn 50 and 512.30 per ton when the energy value* are 90 and HO percent of noimsl corn sil age. respectively.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, ami «eek my tare, and turn from their wicked way*, then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin. and will heal their land." Ibis was God’s mess age to Solomon. As we read the Bible we find that when God spoke it "came to pass" a* w ill the future events that (hx| spoke about also come to pass, In these last two hundred years, we find that all men were here for a few short years and ahead lay a Great Eternity. America has pas* ed the fork in the road. We must turn hack in the right direction or face great de itrurtion. Turning back America could be a great Idcssing lo all Ihe world. Hrmember when Isreal obeyed God there waa bless mg. but when they did not obey God. there was a lime of cursing. Where is Ameri ca in comparison to these conditions. Surely the same God who answered the pray­ ers of the founders of our country two hundred years ago will hear and answer our prayers in these time*. Al no time in ihe history of man has there ever been a nation blessed of God as America has been. We can’t turn uack, but we can go ahead, if we lake the right direction. Because of (tod’s blessing on America every soul in thi* great country of America i* obligated and should do all tn their power to thank God for Hi* mercy lo u*. May we lhank. obey and live righteously before the <k>d who sees all. and ren dees to men their just re­ ward*. May each individual soul respond willingly, lo the one who is responsible for all that is good in America. I«ct u* humble ourselves and forge ahead to help make America a nation truly, un der God. You May Soon Be Buying Bread In Kilograms Buying milk and gasoline in liter*, bread and produce in kilogram*, may soon be commonplace lor Michigan consumers, according to B. Hale Hall, director of the Michigan Department of Agriculture. The state is slowly making the change over to the metric system, keeping pace with the rest of the nation. "It’s an important step for MDA." Mall said, ’because it is our responsibility to test and control the accuracy of all weighing and measuring device* used in buying and selling all consumer com modifies in Michigan. Met­ ric* will also aid our fanners in the sale of Michigan agricultural products a hroad." I»r Edward Heffron. act­ ing chief of MDA's Food Inspection division, of which weight* and measures is a unit, said food inspectors carry measures to lest the accuracy of everything from gr..'.-r’s scale* to gasoline pumps. Food inspectors are generally responsible for small weighing and mcasur ing devices bke counter or produce scale* while weight* and measure* specialists check for ac­ curacy of larger capacity scales like those used far livestock or vehicles. They also check meters and other device* in cooperation with city and county sealers. “Consumers are probably more familiar with metrics than they think". Ball said. "Electricity is measured in kilowatt*. Skis are sold in metric sues and camera lenses are described in met ric term*. Physician* write prescription* and pharma eist* fill them in milligrams." Heffron said in supermar kcis you’ll notice can* and packages on grocery shelve* list weight or volume of content* in both systems. tht People Tn the f^Bor: Much ha* been said about the subjective opinions and so called judicial tempera­ ment of the candidates for local judges. I personally find Ihenc things rather insignificant, because ser­ ious abuses due to judicial prejudice can be eliminated by suing the judge under the civil rights art. More important i* wheth­ er the judge fulfill* hi* obligation under Article V! of the U.S. Constitution, in accordance with hi* oath of office. Paragraph* 2 A 3 thereof stale: “Thia consti­ tution. and the law* of the United Stales made in pur­ suance thereof; and all trea­ ties made, or which shall be made, under authority of the I nurd States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judge* in every stale shall be bound thereby, any thing in the constitution or laws of any stale to the contrary notwithstanding. “The tenator* and repre­ sentatives beforcmenlioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officer*, both of the United Slate* and of ’.he several Slate*, shall be bound by oalh or affirmation, to sup­ port this constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States." If a plaintiff or defendant •ought to challenge a portion of » law of the Stale of Michigan using the U.S. Constitution a* the “»upreme law of the land." and sought to use a portion of the latter in the presenta­ tion of hi* case, would the candidate, if elected, allm* the person appearing before him to use relevant portions of the U.S. Constitution, and laws passed in pursuance thereof, in presenting his case lo a jury? And. would Ihe candidate, if elected, permit the jury to decide on point* of law. a* well as fact? (U.S. Supreme Court, Geor­ gia vs, Brailsford, 3 Dall I (17041 set* thi* precedent.) Unless the candidate la willing lo uphold 'he U.S. Constitution as the supreme law of the land, that candi­ date is (or those candidate* are) unfit lo be judge any­ where in Ihe United States, as he would be violating his oath of office. Sincerely. Frederick G. Schantz and metric measures are also indicated on nutrition labels. Along stale highways mure signs are appearing with distances tabulated in kilometers. Metrication will greatly benefit U.S. agriculture in the world market, according to Mansour Bejaoui. MDA marketing advisor. Almost 07 percent of the people in the world use the metric system and the U.S. is the only major industrial nation *till using the old system. "With Michigan and other stale* seeking nore profit­ able international trade, pound* and bushels are not the most accurate way lo •ell agricultural products." Bejaoui said.

It contains, by weight, fewer calories than sugar but more protein, phosphorus, sodium and potassium. Raw. unfiltered honey raises your mineral intake as well as B and C vitamins. As a rule, when cooking, only half as much honey is used to replace table sugar, (save calories').

Minirter E**t Street Church el Christ f This Week’s Message DISILLUSIONMFNT" By Willard H. Curtis. Pastor First Presbyterian Church, Hastings It is almost certain that every one of us has experienced disillusionment at some time Perhaps a person whom we >Jd placed on a pedestal did something that caused the podeVAl to rre said, "I an»IfisiiTusioned with soanef sb?' Some may be disillusioned with government or with the organised church o< with any number of institutions or individuals Disillusionment is painful, regardless of who or what causes our illusions to be destroyed. Illusions, at best, are only illusions. They are natural to the young but dangerous for the rest ol us "Illusion is defined as "the state or fact of be deceived; false impression, mtsconce; t on " That doesn't sound desirable, does •’ And to be freed from illusions, to be ' Las illusioned." is not undesirable even though the process is painful. The fact « d.ullusionment can always work for our good, for our freedom and for our spiritual maturity. We sa>d that it is natural for children to We with illusions, to p'aciK. hero-worship. It is dangerous and destruct.e for adults to do mankind if it ie not fuly inspired in all of its parts. But lhe bold affirmation by some that it contains error so Reality cannot tie built on unreality Every human being, rsgai diets of his or her station *ri life, is just that a human being subject to a!i the flaw* and failings of any human Every human institution be it the organised church, a governmental body, a social club is just that, a human institution, subject to all viand faibngs^'.'A' '•■ '■’*» than per foe I human* who constitute it The responsibility for disillusionment lies not in <Im> person or institution on lhe pedestal but with the uno who placed him there. The form, "hero worship." is a clue to understanding this The disillusioned person has been investing his or her faith and hopes and confidence in lhe wrong place. No human being and no human Institution merits this kind ol investment Only God himself is an adequate object of our bust, commitment and adoration Jesus sard. "I. if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to me" We may be drawn to other people, to a tieautrtul sunset, to a passage of music, to a dedicated group, but only God can draw u* to real worship Any other object of worship will end in dis-llusionmcnt W..U, Robinson * Superette 20} N MhS.|M Andnn Insurance Agency Jacob* Rexail Pharmacy Cemplvr* Stntt Hatting* Saving* b Loon A**Mi*ite« Brawn'* Cuitom Interior* 1 M.t«* N. oa bread*** National Bank of Hosting* Macaber P.O.I C.

Hope, and Johnstown voiced support of future to coordinate a com munication network for var ious local police, fire depart ments. and ambulance units. A variety of dispatching arrangements currently exist in lhe townships, and officials agreed that a cen teal system would provide more efficient and better communication service, but expressed caution about the costs involved. Hope Township Super visor Ryan Dupon. chairman of lhe meeting, said the biggest problem is not the expense of the equipment but rather the costs to hire personnel to man the central dispatch system around the "We couldn't have a pay roll of that magnitude.

Prairieville would prob immediate use of a central dispatch system to irnple mrnt a communication net­ work for its new auxiliary fire department. Officers of the BPII Fire Department in Delton haze given permission for Prairie­ ville to connect an encoder to the department's existing remote head, using its base station. The arrangement would be made at Prairie­ ville's own expense, and would be the beginning of a central dispatch system. Welty said the Prairieville board would probably decide al its October meeting ing townships to purchase a the total equipment cost to each township. Officials are consideiing leasing the equipment with an option to buy plan, which would cost in lhe neighbor hood of $58 to 70 a month for five years. The expense would be divided between the units. The townships indicated that they also plan to investigate lhe possibility of obtain Ing federal funds to help purchase equipment.

"People will recognise that it is an important task, a community service." he said. Welty also said that this particular line of volunteer­ ism might appeal to an untapped rt source of com munity minded individuals who do not desire to serve as volunteer fir* ::n or arnbu lance attendants.

By PASTOR RUSSELL SARVER Hastings Grace Brethren Church I have read and heard ol some strange liapponings lately. Strange, because they seem not to be produced by known physical causes The basic law of all physics is. "Every action has it's sufficient cause." A miracle is a super natural occurrence. Miracles are for real The Bible records a numtier of miracles in both Hie old and new testaments Many miracles are for signs to verify a truth Fur esample, the miracles that Jesus performed were cgns. "And many other Signs truly did Jesus in the presence of h>& disciples which arc not written in tl.

Minister Exist Street Church of Christ The kingdom of lieaven is a oh>ase used frequently m the New Testament. John the Baptist. Jesus and the apostles of Christ all announced that il was "at hand" (Matthew 3:2, 10 7. Mark 1:151. The kingdom was obviously important in thn plan of God. No doubt tic wanted men to have an accurate understanding of w+iat he wa* talking about. Jesus made it perfectly clear in Mark 9.1 that the kingdom would come in the lifetime of those that were with him Was lie mtstaken’ Surely the Son of God meant osactly what ho said when he stated that the kingdom would come in the first century A look at Matthew 1b; IB 19 helps us understand what the kingdom is. Jesus here promised to build his "church" upon the foundation of his deity. Then he said to Peter. "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven " Tbe church is represented as a building With a foundation, and Peter was given the keys to the door of the kingdom The church and the kingdom ore hero represented as one and the same. It 's no surprise then to read elsewhere in the New Testament that we've been "translated into the kingdom" (Colovu ans 1.13). we've received a "king­ dom that cannot be shaken" tHebtews 1228), and fohn spoke of himself as being in that kingdom (Revelation 1:9). Then the kingdom is not *n the future, but it is a present reality Wc can enjoy the blessings of being in God ‘ kingdom right now' When we obey Christ and kingdom. and �THE HASTINGS HANNER.

Ta the Editor: Dear Barry Ce«My Commto■loners: For the past 30 year* the City of Hastings has provid­ ed virtually 100 per cent of the dollars required to main­ tain the Hastings Airport. Their support in recent years has become increas­ ingly more difficult, in light of tax revenues versus run­ away costs for maintaining normal citizen Mrvkea <uid city government. Unfortunately, unless sup port can be received from Barry County, this fine air­ port may have to lie closed. As a citizen and resident of Harry County. I am vigor­ ously in support of Barry County assuming all or part of $14,000 required annually for the airport's operation. The Hastings Airport is the only Federal and State approved Class A airport in Barry County. It is approved for day and night operations and already has a coveted Federal Aviation Adminis tration approved instrument flight condition approach system. This means that the Hastings Airport is the only Barry County facility cap­ able of handling up to medium sized turboprop aircraft on an around the clock basis in virtual!;* all types of weather. More importantly, the im­ pact an airport has on the entire economic situation is tremendous. Thirty years ago. more than 50 per cent of American's manufacturing plants were located in popu­ lation centers of 100,000 or more. Today, this has chang­ ed dramatically. More than one third of all new factories are being located in cities of under 50.000 population. An airport won't make a new business come to Barry County, but the lack of one will sure stop those that would like to. There i* hardly a day or week that goes by without an arriving airplane on a special business related mis sion that touche** every in­ dustry in Harry County, from agriculture to zoology. The Hastings Airport regularly welcomes business visitors representing Gulf & Western. Decatur Seeds, Hex-Fab. Slate Board of Education. Hastings Manu­ facturing. Viking Corpora­ tion. Hastings Mutual. John Deere. International Har­ vester. Hotel. Motel. Res­ taurant Supply. Ford Motor Co. and a host of others. Can we in good conscience afford to see this fine airport facility lost? I don't see how there could b* »ny choice for the commission but to vote in favor of assisting with the cost of operating the airport. It is without question, of extreme importance to all the citizens of Barry County. In fact, it could be our only link in limes of disaster or emergency. Sincerely yours, Richard C. Tyree To the Editor. As President of the Hast­ ings Lion* Club, I want to thank all of the good people in the community that sup ported our recent annua! light Bulb Sale. Without the support o! you folks we could not have reached our projected goal. These may have been a few area* that .re missed and some of you may not have been home when we called. Hope to catch you next year. Thanks again. Bill Avery P.S. It's almost that time to place your order for that box of Texas ruby red grapefruit or oranges. Re­ member last year how sweet and juicy they were? If you don't know one of our Lions members, you may place your order with Jim Womack, Project Chairman al 945 3459.

Your kindness and co­ operation was appreciated by the homeowners very much. Gratefully.

Only 10 players out of 54 shot under their season averages. Bliss players shot 130 strokes and Viking only 57 strokes over their com­ bined team average, which accounted for the Viking victory.

Sharon Fountain Box 121 Hastings. Mich. JWKW To the Editor: lhe article in lhe Hanner w... fin-, that Mr. Cook wrote. I enjoyed it. It helped us to realize that there was history and great men near the middle of these two centuries, who left their mark on condition* that helped build America as a free nation. I ask Mr Cook's tolerance as I elaborate on John Ketchum. John Ketchum was a man for the people. As our representative he rode the train down to Washing­ ton to do business for the people and not to play politics. During summer vacation he was busy speaking at family reunions, school re unions, farm groups and keeping his home in grxtd shape. He lived on Shriner Street where laiwis latng now live*. He waa a very common man. had a wraith of friends, and as far as I know1, no enemies. fine of the disappointing features concerning what I have written, is that so many people have to go unmenlioned Just those I have named in past articles are (ar from being the only ones who deserved mention. Ii >• important to read and study lhe papers. s|x-echrs and other documents by the men who founded and kept our nation. *o that we truly understand what they were trying to do-not for their time, but for all time, not for our country, but for people everywhere I still have some spicy happenings that concern Quimby that I will wri'e up soon. I forgot to mention that there was another saw mill at Quimhy besides the one that burned. The Cramer saw mill saw til many lioard feet of lum Iht and I believe many oak railroad ties. Next time I write. I will tell about the man who could make smoke come out of hi* eyes. Cameron McIntyre To the Falitoe: Ant you aware of a treaty and a bill to provide the necessary authority to put it into effect, are al this time in the Senate and may be voted on there at any moment? If passed it can mean any one of us can be tried before an international court lor mere trifles The treaty is called the Genocide Treaty, the bill is B.3IM. The hill and treaty if passed, will mean first in reality a revision of our U.S. Constitution, a grand dccu ment that guarantees our basic human rights. There is no need for an international treaty to do that. Such a treaty, secondly, would instantly make all U.S, citizen* members of a new world order, under a totalitarian system of laws, subject to accusation and trial before the International Court of Justice. Peace Corps workers, pro­ fessionals. businessmen, anyone who intends to change the way things art done in any group could become a suspect. Christian missionaries engaged in converting non Christians to Christ could lie subject to immediate prosecution. I urge you, do not delay writing to Sen. Robert I*. Griffin and Sen. Philip Hart, Senate Office Bldg . Wash ington. D.C. 20510. telling them to vote against lhe hill and treaty and keep our sovengnily as a nation. Al­ so to use their influence Io gel other senators to do lhe same. Il must he defeated. This news will not appear in newspapers, or TV or radio. It is kept from us. the people.

SnuUy Sikaal 10 by LEONARD OAVIS Pastor of Michigan Avenue Wesleyan Church CHOOSE LIFE - THE CHOICE IS YOURS George Eliot said: "The strongest principle of growth hes in human choices." Life is made up of choices. One of the most difficult things m We for people to do is to make decrsxxis. This is parity because of the fear that something will go wrong, and that a person's friends wdl dis like him for making such a decision Therefors there is a tendency to either draw bock from making die decwon or try to go around it. The oct ol making a cbo.ce and sticking to it is not the end of the story There is another chapter wNch roods. GOOD CHOICES COME FROM GOOD THINKING. Unfor­ tunately. there are people who do not think for itiomsotves. but go along with the crowd They lack persona) conviction and individual purpose m the chorees of We. Many people would rather drift with lhe crowd than to make a choice to be different. God said m Deuteronomy »19 "I have Mt before you ide and death, blessing and cursing, therefore choose Me." Some years ago a railroad conductor saw a janitor's helper pushing a mop in a big city station. Being a man of Christian faith, he said to this man. "You ought to have a better job than thisl" The janitor's helper rapfeed, "I don't see how I can, I have three children, an aged mother living with us. and besides. I never had any education. Besides, a men can't get ahead these days, those days are gone forever " The conductor began to talk about tbo beauty of America and the love of God for man A whole now concept set in motion a dynamic eenes of events. One day this conductor told him about a small hamburger stand that wee tor sale in a nearby town He mepirod the mop pusher to go and look over the opportunity. When ho arnved in town, ho found the price far greater than he expected. But through al this experience, he found that he had something worth more than money. HE BELIEVED IN HIMSELF. He was unwfltog to accept defeat Carefutiy and prayerfully he thought about the proposition. The enthusiastic spirit of the mop pusher impressed the proprietor, who accepted a reasonable offer. And from that desperate beginning the once defeated mop pusher worked and believed and today owns a race restaurant. His menus carries these linos: It you think you are beaten, you are; If you think you dare not. you don't. If you want to win but think you can't It's almost a emeh you won t If you think you ! lose. You're tost; For out in the world we find success begins with a foHow's wfll. Il's an the sista of mind. Life’s battles don't always go to the stronger and faster men; But sooner or later the man who wins Is the man who thinks he can. Ono never strikes any higher than he aims. If you aim to be the best student, teacher, farmer, or whatever, you'l come ctoeer to it than it you aim at second best. Man's power to choose gives him dignity and worth in the sight of God. With it he cen make a contribution lo lhe world, but without It he is but a preying leech. God said. "I have set before you hfe and death, Messing and cursing, therefore choose Me."

Jesus' Prayer for Unity by STAN CLANTON. Minister Church of Christ Our Lord prayed often. Notice an aspect of one of Ns prayers recorded in John 17:2021. Here Jesus prayed first for his apostles, then for all believers. "Neither pray I for these (apostles) atone, but for them also which shall believe on me through thew word; that they all may be one; as thou. Father, art in me. and I in thee, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me." It's obvious from this passage that our Lord prayed that afl believers m him would be united in one body, and it's equally obvious as wo observe the divided condition of the refigtous world today that hie prayer a far from-being answered. The reason Jesus staled that ho wanted all believers to be one waa "that the world may befeeve mat thou hast sent me." Let's fact it many people are "turned off" by so much religious division How shall we go about bringing an answer to our Lord's prayer <or unity? We must all foltow the same standard of authority -- the Now Tsstarrwnt. imagine tte chaos in a football game ii the two teams played by different sets of rules) It's because acme are foltowing the creeds and commandments of men that wo do not enjoy religious unity. The Word of God is all we need nothing more, nothing lees. When we afi carefully foltow the same standard our Lord's prayer for unity will be answered!

Most people are aware of lhe Iwauty tree* can add lo the general appearance <4 an area but few realize lo what extent trees contribute lo our environment, says B.

Michigan's hunting season has started and trees pro­ vide f<«xl and cover foe wildlife, helping lo assure hunters of a continuing har vest each fall. Hall said. Deer, ruffed grouse, souirrels and rabbit* are only a few of the wide range of animals sheltered by our magnificent forests Hall explained that farm­ er* plant tree* lo protect fields and orchards from high winds and drifting snow. Trees are also effee tive in controlling soil ero­ sion and accompanying nu trient losses from the soil, he said. In rural and urban area* where odor* and dust are a problem, a stand of trees properly located can help clean lhe air and make tbe •n* iroiimrnt more tolerable, according to Hall.

Hastings Okays Apartments Despite City Ordinance Despite a city ordinance which prohibit* apartment* in the business district in buildings which have not been lived In for more than a year, city officials have okayed the use of the former Miller building foe four a part ment*. City Assessor Don James, who issues -xvupancy use permits, said that City At­ torney Richard Shaw gave an opinion that the city would have difficulty enfore mg the ordinance in thia situation. Although the building waa apprently vacant for more than a year, it had been vacated on a city condemn* lion order. Because it was vacant under city order and not voluntarily. Shaw said that the ordinance might not be applicable. The ordinance was passed during the period that the building was under condemnation order. "That particular point ha* never been litigated." Shaw told The Hastings Banner. He said the city might have had lo take the case clear to lhe Michigan Supreme Court, with only a 50 50 chance of winning. ( "We tank the practical solution." and allowed part of the building to be used as apartments." Shaw said. The building was bought several months ago by John Fritz. James said that Frltx hail made extensive repairs to the building, including completely rewiring it and repairing the plumbing. Both wiring and plumbing were approved by state inspectors, and James said hr considers the building sound. Thr occupancy permit issued by James allows lhe building to be used as it was before it wa* condemned with three apartments up­ stairs and one in the rear of the main floor. In addition, thr front part of the main floor is commercial and a business ean be put in the basement. At thi* point. Haute Really and Construction or cupirs the south half of the main floor, and thr rear apartment is occupied. A new store called ■thirsty" is in thr basement. Both James and Shaw pointed out that new owner Frit/ had spent a substantial amount of money to improve thr building, and that it L* now an attractive addition lo the downtown area instead of a vacant eyesore. Shaw said that Frits ha* agreed not to rent apart ment* in thr building lo families with school age children, a* will a* other restriction* tn keep the apartment* from becoming a nuisance in the business district. Shaw said that Frill was represented by a law firm in Kalamazoo which specializes in zoning ease*, and is con sidrrrd expert in ihe area. He said that the City id Hastings has employed the same firm in coring matter*. Steal Groceries From Parking Lot Mary Chamberlin of 11125 E. Shore Drive Thursday.

Hastings Okays Apartments Despite City Ordinance Despite a city ordinance which prohibit* apartment* in the business district in buildings which have not been lived In for more than a year, city officials have okayed the use of the former Miller building foe four a part ment*. City Assessor Don James, who issues -xvupaney use permits, said that City At­ torney Richard Shaw gave an opinion that the city would have difficulty enfore mg the ordinance in thia situation. Although the building was upprvntly vacant for more than a year, it had been vacated on a city condemn* lion order. Because it was vacant under city order and not voluntarily. Shaw said that the ordinance might not be applicable. The ordinance was pasted during the period that the building was under condemnation order. "That particular point ha* never been litigated." Shaw told The Hastings Banner. He said the city might have had to take the ease clear to the Michigan Supreme Court, with only a 50 50 chance of winning. ( "We lank the practical solution." and allowed part of the building to be used as apartments." Shaw said. The building was bought several months ago by John Fritz. James said that Frltx hail made extensive repairs to the building, including completely rewiring it and repairing the plumbing. Both wiring and plumbing were approved by stale inspectors, and James said hr considers the building sound. The occupancy permit issued by James allows the building to be used as it was before it wa» condemnedwith three apartments upstain and one in the rear of the main floor. In addition, the front part of the main floor is commercial and a business ean be put in the basement. At this point. Haute Realty and Construction or cupies the south half of the main floor, and the rear apartment is occupied. A new store called "thlrssy" is in the basement. Both James and Shaw pointed out that new owner Frila had spent a substantial amount of money to improve the building, and that it i* now an attractive addition to the downtown area instead of a vacant eyesore. Shaw said that Frit* ha* agreed not to rent apart ment* in the building to families with school age children, a* will a* other restriction* to keep the apartments from becoming a nuisance in the business district. Shaw said that Frill was represented by a law firm in Kalamazoo which specializes in zoning ease*, and is con sidrred expert in ihe area. He said that the City of Hastings ha* employed the same firm in coring matters. Steal Groceries From Parking Lot Mary Chamberlin of 11125 E. Shore Drive Thursday.

A little self edm ation would go a long way to । onvtnce the doubters. The authority is designed to represent the property owners of the affected area. Of the eight members on the authority, five would luivc Io own property within the area. So it's nor a case of outsiders telling business pro|ieity owners what they should do One of tlie real advantages of a downtown devefopmont authority is its flexibility If downtown property owners decided that building renovation was top priority. Ihe auiiionty would be able to facilitate this, and । m wage a ommon architectural theme. If the top priority were parking, or creating a m.iu park. Ilw development authority could also txt the agency to iccomplish it. Tlie law en< trutages public participation tn In the Editor: Thi* November.

Yet they ithc Conservation Club) are more than eager to impose a bark door law on small store owners when Ihe statement 'bottles and can* don’t lit­ ter. people do.’’ is just as appropriate in opposition to the returnable buttle hill. In Initb ihe case of guns and litter, more strict enforce ment of existing laws is needed, not new laws! Don't br diM-ji-ved! Pro po*al A is being prcsented on the ballot as though it will for Ihe throwaway beverage container. This is not true! The law will simply im|>ose a deposit on (leverage con­ tainers ilioth cans and hot tles» and ihe amount of the deposit will depend upon the reuse potential of the con tatner. Containers that can't In- re umm| will liear a higher deposit than those that can be re uo-d. ( oiitainem that can In re iiM-d by more than one manufacturer will bear the lowest deposit. All beverage containers ilsiih (Millies and cans) will have to hr returned hy Ihe consumer to any store which carries beverage products to get Ihe deposit back. I expert it will he more run venient to return the con tainers to a convenience store like Dick and lands'* Northview Grocery, rather than wait m line at the downtown supermarkets where the beverages may have actually been purchas­ ed in the first place. Yrs. we will have to take the containers bark and refund the deposit even though we may not have sold them! This means that Linda and I will have to raise additional working capital only to tie it up in returned beverage con tamers that we did not sell! In addition, monies will be required to add storage the work of the authority. To do just about everything, pubhc hearings would be requir ed. As noted, downtown property owners would represent a majority of the board. And if a tax assessment district or other outside financing were needed, approval would have to come through the city council, like any tax. with ample chance for the public to be beard. Of course, the authority by itself is no panacea Good people would have to be appointed, who could exercise leadership and gam the support of retailers and property owners. Plans would have to be followed by action. We've seen too many good plans go to waste in the past. There’s realty not much reason for the city to turn down downtown development authority idea. The city council would not be giving up much power, and the authority by itself would cost little or nothing. Although It’s still fairly healthy, the Hastings downtown area has languished To keep the customers coming back, we have to provide an attractive, complete shopping district, with the convenience of a mall and tlie advantages of being local. It can be done Greenville has done it. Lapeer has done it. Both are cities comparabie in sire to Hastings, within a shod drive of suburban shopping centers. Yet their attractive, up-todate shopping areas are flourishing. The downtown development authority just might be the answer. Certainly, it’s worth trying. space for bottles and cans and for additional disposal facilities. To my knowledge, the law­ will not take into considcra Hon the unfair burden it will impose on the small store owner. It (the law) will simply fine him if he refuses to refund deposits on con­ tainers not purchased al his store and won't even allow the retailer to refuse to accept containers returned in filthy condition' In my opinion, the law, if passed, should allow the retailer to identify beverage containers purchased at his store and to refuse to accept containers returned in filthy condition. Finally, consider what this law is going to cost you. the consumer. Yes, I know it is Ivcing presented to you as a “freebee’’ but it will cost y ou more in the following ways. Bottle deposits arc tax able al the standard 40% rale! You won’t get this money back when you re turn the containers, the Stale of Michigan gets it. Beverage companies and beverage distributors will have to invest in increased storage facilities, new hot Hing equipment, new trucks capable of carry ing back all of the returned containers. These costs will be refilled in thr cost of your favorite beverage!

The most potent plant* are grown in countries south of the United Stales, such as Colombia, Jamaica. Mexico, etc. Some are grown in the United States, and the most potent of these are grown in dormitories, closets, base menls, etc. under controlled environmental conditions and special artifical light. Such gardens arc illegal and subject to severe legal pen allies if discovered. The group of people most bitter!,- offended by the marijuana business is the Internal He venue Service. If they suspect land they are very suspicious people' a person is in the business, they automatically estimate his income at somewhere over a quarter of a million dollar* a year. They then seiae hi* cash, hi* bank and saving* accounts, his stocks, bonds, and securities, his house, hi* car. his real estate, his furniture and anything else they can sell to cover the taxes on the assumed income. It is up to the former property owner lo prove that his income was les* than the amount assessed. This can be very difficult to do. because the victim of what is euphemistically call­ ed a “jeopardy assessment” cannot afford a lawyer It is particularly unpleasant if the person is innocent, and not even in the marijuana business.

Incidentally, there is a Dinosour out there some where that occasionally walk* these pages with pieces of the U.S. Cnnstitu lion.

ELDON BOWERS Does it seem as if the home you own really owns you? That it runs your life and eats up your leisure time by putting demands on you for maintenance of one sort or another? Rest assured that the no maintenance home hasn't yet been invented. Every home needs a certain amount of work to keep it from looking neglected and uncared for. But you can plan for minimum main ten ance of your home grounds, at least, by choosing land­ scape materials, including plants, that require a mini­ mum of care and upkeep. The first step in landscap­ ing is to design a master plan with specific areas for public access, private relax* lion, childrens play, work and storage, etc. The next step is to choose materials with which to carry out the master plan. The choices you make at this point determine wheth­ er youll «pend your week ends tending your home grounds or enjoying them. Let's say you want to put in a patio. You've picked the location and you're ready to start building. You've nar­ rowed your choices to pourec concrete, brick or a redwood deck. Concrete is cheap, re­ latively easy to handle, long lasting and low mainlen ance. You can expect it lo last 20 If 30 yean with very little care. Brick, on the other hand, is harder to put down and may require re­ setting every few yean. It is absorbent, so it stains easily (especially food fats), and it is more expensive than con crete. With a wood deck, you have the potential for rot a&J insect invasion - not to mention splinters - and you have to either paint or stain it regularly. Plants in the landscape may require care ranging from minimal to almost con Here again, planning is the key. Know where you want to put a plant, what you want it to do and how much care you're willing to give It to keep it healthy and good looking. For example, for a spot that's four feet high and two feet wide, don't choose a plant that will be six feel tall and four feet wide when it matures. Keep­ ing it confined in that much smaller space will take regu­ lar. drastic pruning that may ruin the plant's natural shape. Choosing plants for speci­ fic purposes may require tradeoffs of one sort of another. To get a privacy hedge in a hurry, for in­ stance. you may have lo use shrubs that will require frequent pruning. A tree chosen for quick shade may be prone lo damage from wind and ice. If it’s shade you want, you probably should avoid trees with messy flowers or fruits. Fruit generally means insect problems as well a* extra cleanup. Many plants have special cultural requirements that add up lo extra work foe you. rhododendrons, for example, require acid soil and special protection lo survive Michigan winters. Fruit trees and hybrid roses need regular, frequent spraying lo control diseases and insects. Some bulbs and perennials must be dug. divided and replanted every few years; or dug and stored inside over the winter for high quality blossoms. lawns are generally high maintenance arras, but you can minimize the work re­ quired by using ground covers in hard to maintain areas and by lowering your standards a bit for the rest. After al), your lawn doesn’t have to look like a golf green. But if that's the way you want It. you’d better be ready to pul in the effort, time and money that lish and maintain it that Don't forget lo lake into account the cost of equip­ ment youll need to maintain your landscape. Can you get by with a push lawn mower, a couple of hand sprayers, some garden tools and a hose? Or do you need a power mower, a tiller, a power sprayer, a built-in irrigation system and a sup­ ply of rostlv chemical fer­ tilizer*. weed killers and insecticides? Whether you think the effort and expense of a high maintenance landscape are worth it depends, of course, on how much you value the results and whether you enjoy doing the work. If manicuring the lawn, puttering in the perennials and challenging the weeds and bugs for possession of the home grounds is your ides of fun in the sun. that’s fine. Rut if you’d rather be doing almost anything else, you'd probably be belter off to make low maintenance landscape choices.

That's the word from Chapter Execu­ tive Neil Herndon. The American National Red Cross is withdrawing from the American Associa tion of Blood Banks Clear­ inghouse (AABB). a system that processes individual patients blood credits and debits for replacement blood or non-replacement fees among member blood banks. The reason the Red Cross is withdrawing is that it is profit oriented and in some cases charges for blood, contrary to Red Cross policy. Since Red Cross feels that blood replacement is a community responsibility and should lie given freely. Red Cross could not con tinue as a member of AABB. All Red Cross hlood is collected from volunteer donors. The only charge reeipentx pay is for hospital administration and process ing fees. Any resident of Barry County will have his or her blood needs met at any Red Cross participating hospital in the United States regardless of affiliation with lied Cross. Herndon said that the Red Cross will provide blood regularly and directly to hospitals wishing this ser­ vice to meet the needs of patients from communities served by the Red Cross blood program. Contrary to AABB state­ ments. lied Cross will con­ tinue to meet the hlood needs of these hospitals. There is no indication that there will be a hlood short­ age as a result of Red Cross withdrawal from AABB. Pennock Hospital in Hast- ings is a participant in the Red Cross blood program, and will continue to have ita blood needs met by the Red Cross Regional Blood Center in Lansing thru the effort of 1.032 blood donor* in Barry County.

Flexfab with its payroll and purchases added more than $1.5 million to the Hasting* area economy in the fiscal year which ended Sept. 30, Pierce said. Pierce, president of the company located on M 37 and M-43. reviewed thr de­ velopment of the firm which opened its facility on Oct. 16. 1961. with Pierce and Doug DeCamp. The plant wa* located in the former Thompson Furniture Store bonding. and Pierro said It took some lime before pro pie got to call the structure Flexfab instead of Thomp­ son Furniture.

I want t express publicly a big thank you to the Friends of the library for another sorertv ful year of helpful activity for thr benefit of the library Most area residents prob ably do not rvalue lhe full scope of artivitias (hr Friends organize and spon cor. Again this year the Friends have brought a dra malic performance tn the schools so that all children could enjoy live theater, have edited a second edition of the Friends' cookbook, have presented a spring festival for children in the library with singalong and magic show, have organired fall orientation visits tn the library by children in three elementary grades in all the local schools, and have held pre M-b.»| story hours tn the library in early spring. In addition, the Friend* held a used book sale m downtown Hastings during July Sidewalk Sale Days, and have agam sponsored the very enjoyable Home Tour on a September Satur day. We appreciate the con tnbutkuuof time and talent from members of the Fncnds in carrying on all these activities, as well as ruotnhutions from business people, and from the families who opened their houses to the tour. Peruns of all ages who participated in these events have liven quick to express their pleasure We are grateful both for the service oriented pro grams, such as those by thr Storytelling Committee, and for those that have the additional purpose of earn ing money to support the library program.

We never deserved God's love. We never deserved any favors from God. But He did it anyway. Why? Because He is PICH in grace and love. Secondly, redemption ie one sat free by irayment of the ransom. I Peter 1:18. 19 teds it perfectly. They say, "Forasmuch as ye KNOW that ye were....redeemed...with lhe precious blood of Christ,... " What was that payment? Christ's precious blood What a sacrifice! Silver. gold, diamonds, good work* piety, being re­ ligious. becoming a church member, having been baptized by water, speaking in tongues, or anything that man could do could not pay that price. Even our death for "God's sake" could not suffice God's demand for "sinpayment". We could not begin to repay God lo< what we have done against His ways found in the Bible.

We don't like to be around people who deny dear facts or have fooled lhemsetves into disbelieving realrty. Being honest wsth the facta ia a sign of maturity. Many people of Jesus' day were not honest with the evidences our Lord had given them. Some Jews even Died to kill Lazarus, whom Jesus had raised from the dead, m an effort to stop the growth of Christ's disciples (John 1210-111 "Though he had done so many signs before them, yet they believed not on him" (John 12:37). But Jesus knew why many did not believe. It was the condition of their heart They had closed their eyes lest they should see. stopped their ears lest they should hoar, and hardened their heart lest they should understand (Matthew 13:151. If they should see. understand, and believe, they would have to make some changes in their lives, and they didn't want to do that. Today, the real reason many people either deny Chnst or aro indifferent to the Christian movement ts because they don't want to repent and turn to God. But the facts are still there, and ignonng Jesus won't make him go away. May our ears ba ooen to Chrnt's message, and may our hearts ba honbst with the facts.

"There are several mi* • <>ncepiion* about flu vaccin­ ations which might discour age people from getting the innoculatlon." he said. "For ■ sample, people often think ihat they can get the flu trom the vaccine. This i* mH true. Improve*! methods of producing and testing vac r-.nes have reduced the num her of side effect* greatly, la-cause the virus u»rd to make the vaccine is killed, no one can get actual infiu ■ nza from receiving a flu vaccination." Some of the other ques lions often asked and the answers, according to Dr. Mejia arc: WHAT IS SWINE FLU? Swine flu. called A/New Jersey influenza by scien lists, is a respiratory disease caused by a viru*. Il rvpre sent* a major change from the recent "Hong Kong" and "A»i.-n“ types. When these inres hap|H-n. epidemics • akrty u> occur because almost no one has any nalur al body defense against the virus. Generally the epidrm H-s caused by type A strain* lend to b- more frequent and severe Because the viru* is similar lu one that causes influenza in pigs, it ha* been nicknamed »wine flu. WHY IS THERE A SPECl AL IMMUNIZATION PROGRAM FOR THIS TYPE OF FLU? Two reason*. Thi* to the first lime a vaccine ha* been available before a flu epi ■lernic. Secondly, the virus has tbe potential lor causing a severe epidemic, perhaps like the one m I9IB tn which traice than half a million Americans died. Scientist* cannot *ay foe certain that an epidemic wifi occur, but the potential threat is real and many expert* strongly recommended the swine flu immunization program. WHO SHOULD HF. IM­ MUNIZED?

No. For certain high risk members of the population, older people and those chr onically ill with lung, heart or M»me other disease*, a special vaccine has been nude that also protect* aga inti another milder influenza strain.

I would like to point out. this issue la really not being brought to the general pub Ur. as a sound measure. For. if the vole for "no” on . passes, it means the throw away tattles will still be used ..And using up. deplet­ ing resources of glass, tin, aluminum, and whatever. If, this Issue is voted in, th.H is the "yea” voters outnumber the"Jfo" voters, Hinn people will pay 10 conta (or tne deposit alone, and the (0cents should not be 10 rents, for the bottle of soda |>op itself, people would My. *hould not cost much over ten rental Consider the little children who may ta lucky to have the 10 cents, aa well as (he rest of us. And by now, ask yourself ...what kind of land la Amer ica becoming, when all these things have to come before a vote, before a reasonable conclusion to the problem comes? Do the people who sit In the state capitals on these Michigan councils on alcoholic and other bever ages become able to arrive at some semblance of justice to the people, and some measure of conservatism concerning the facts that someday. w» may possibly run shod of glass, and other metals. Plastics, that we are using onre. and tossing to the wind? Foe. the people who will vote "Yes" are the ones <*omplaini;ig about just that fact, that they are sick of seeing the roadsides full of beer bottles, c‘c . because someone did toss these out. And on the other score. I can see the "No” voters' stand, that the "arrived at charge, which the Michigan council on alcohobc beverage* has set” is far too high. And it is. How will it pul people out of work? One can say then by conclusion, that this issue is not ready for the people to vote upon. Foe. the next rumplaint will be that this country »*>• I* running short of the substances used to make the throwaway cans. 1 would like to use my efforts to keep it off the ballot, if it is not too lite. For. it is never too Ute. I think we have three »eriou* measure* to consider in the controversy. That of conserving valuable mater tai* going into the praduc lion of the beverage contain era. that of keeping the environment a clean, safe environment at roadsides, and the issue of the grossly high charge, as a deposit for a bottle or can of sod* pop. I believe it U lime these people in the councils and department* awoke to the facts, that see. the people, do not iieed • "law" every step we take. Are we. or *re we not. burying ourselves th­ rough bills and Uwa. and etc? For. what a few unwise people may or may not do. on such organization* aa these, through thr state departments, and council*, does greatly affect the pco pie. For. it may hr Mid as only * little item by some tat it is thr small things wrung in America that re sulini from poor decision.

When I hear that, reus aide iMdllc* will put people out of work." I think we best be using our heads, as to just what i» putting people out of work. Ami it isn't voting in <4 the re livable bottles! Il is electronic computers, the Miphl.ticalcd type of equip ment that ha* become, thr ough a thing railed "prog rr*»." thr standard type of thing, that is putting people in th« m w .paper industry, as and rumple, and comp­ uter card* or punch card type <4 thing, that is ulti­ mately eliminating the num her of -people" working in store*, etc. And is this so guod. when il is the work of human hand* a nation goes by?

Shank U 2487 Star School Banner Takes Position on State, County Proposals Four Matt propositions and one county­ wide proposal wW be on the battot next Tueedey Last week. Tho Hasting* Banner took a position In favor of Proposition A. the proposal to bon the use of non-returnable beverage containers In Michigan the so catted "bonis biT'. Tho Banner has been the only publication In Barry County to do so. Michigan voters wiH have three other statewide proposals to vote on. and most Barry County voters will also vote on a county proposition a* well Wo would l.ka to comment on each: PROPOSAL B-A proposal which changes the requirements to be a candrdatt for stats legieieture. The most significant change is the lowering of the minimum age from 21 to it ie logical that if 16 ysar olds can vote, they should bo able to hold public office. In a few cities, you hove people under 21 on city councils or school boards Probably no one should be excluded from the legislature solely because ol age. In reality, wo think there wil be few candidates from thia ago group, and very few elected. We see no good reason not to vote for it. PROPOSAL C-The controversial tax limitation proposal. Although not as widely discussed, tins proposal draws some of the same emotional rsaction-for and against -as the bottie bill. BascaSy. the proposal calls tor a ceding on state taxation and spending of 8.3 percent of the total personal income in Michigan. Experts say that the state now spends about 8.0 percent of such income. The proposal stows for a small increase in relative state aperxkng. and after that, it would depend on the health of the state's economy. When it is growing, state spending could grow The proposal is obviously an extreme reaction to the fantastic growth in stale expendrturee m the last few years, if the legislator* were hstenmg to the people, sucn a proposal would not be necessary. But it • evident that tho legislative majority is listening to the unions and special interest groups promoting state spending, instead of tho overburdened taxpayer. Opponents of the proposal argue that it will probably mean a reduction in state services, as costs rise, and that local units of government will be expected to shoulder more of the tax load. This, in turn, means more milage requests. Educators are worried about this proposal Education is already heavby supported by local property taxes, unkka most other state services. They're afraid that stat*. aid wJ be cut. and they*! have to ask for more milage. And local mittge is getting harder and harder to gat. We don't completely buy the arguments. Why should state spending rise faster than the slate economy? The incomes of the rest of us-on the average- don't rise faster than the economy. So why should our taxes? If local officials are worried about their expenditures rising foster than the economy, then maybe they should gear their spending to lhe ability of their local areas Io pay. This should make it possible to keep millages at present rates. But above a>-if citizens want to keep state and local government expenditures down, they should not ask for new services, or expansion of old ones Someone has to pay the piper and that someone is us. to paraphrase Pogo We're not sure that Proposal C is the best answer to the state spending problem. But we need to impress upon tho legislature the fact that taics are already high enough in Michgan. and that we've had enough. We're driving business out ol Michigan, we're driving jobs out of Michigan, and soon there will be no one to pay those tax brils We're going to vote lor Proposal C.

First, even though lhe Court serve* both Barry and Eaton, there is no candidate from this County. All around us on rarh level of govern rncnt. we aie becoming dis Ulurionrd with the integrity of so many of our elected and appointed officials. The easiest course of action is to hide our heads in lhe sand and give up on lhe whole moss. We have chosen to steer in a more positive course by finding an honest, patient, and fair man whom we believe will bring renew­ ed respect lo lhe non parti san office of Circail Judge. You are aware, the op position, who i* again run ning for the office, has been suspended from the bench for a period of eighteen months. The State Supreme Court made lhe ruling after the report filed by the Judicial Tenure Commi* sion. The results of this investigation from Novem ber 5. 1975. to May 27. 1976. are a matter of public record if anyone cares to pursue the matter. We truly believe Hudson Deming is a wise choice for Circuit Judge.

Thank You for Your Support „ „ passe*. we tttnk the tsgwtsture aJi find a way to Irve with it If it h nauowt, defeated, we hope Lansing wrfl take note that a Significant portion of Michigan voters ate firmly against higher taxes. PROPOSAL D Those who favor a tax limitation plan like Proposal C should be against Proposal D. Proposal 0 would remove the constitu tlocal bon on a graduated income tax. and institute a temporary tax rata for a year A tier that year, tho legislature would set the rate. Michigan voters have twice < netted a graduated lax. They should do it again thr* year Graduated tax schemes are generaiy a backhanded means of tncreavng overall taxes Most of us w* eventual pay Nghor taxes Graduated tax plana are o'ten told on a soak the rich" logic. Morn and more, though, "the rich" turns out in practice to be the average rruddle class working famJy. A handful of very wealthy peoi .• may use tax "'-opholes'' to pay less taxes Most of us Will tie paying more on any jr.iduated income tax plan. Unless you want to pay more t4.es, you’ll vote against Proposal D. If you want to give your money away, we can think ol dozens of worthwhile causes, most of which do not have the built-in inefficiencies of government. And most of them are tax deductible COUNTY PROPOSAL D-Tf ■* proposal would "freeze" tho pressnt tax SM t tietween schools, county and townshrps o' the L Stic 15 m*s of property tax. Every year, the County Tax Allocation Board meets to dtwy up the 16 mills allowed by taw without voter approval And for needy 20 years in Barry County, there has been virtually no changes in the way lhe millage is split. Of the 15 mills, the schools get 8. the townships 1 min. Barry County 6.87 rmtts. and the intermediate school districts get 13 nulls. Obviously, the school get lhe lion's share They also are tho local units which normally have the most voted millage, so they are doing the* share of raising the* own funds outside the 15 mats If the county or townstvps want a ttggec snare of the p*. rt watt be at tho expense of education. We feel ths is unkkefy to occur. If the county or townships can gratify more mttlage. let them like the schools go to the voters and ask for it Some townships are already doing thia for pokes and fire protection, and other purposes, with a great deal of success AO the proposal does is "freeze" the split for five years The tax attucation board asked to have the proposal put on the ballot, so the board itself feels the split is on equitable one. It there is a problem, a vole of the people could countermand the proposal In five years, it will automa Kelly revert to the allocation board, unless voters renew it. County Proposal 0 makes sense, and we endorse it. veil will help to slop our rising crime rale. Phy Ills Munger To the Editor: I would like to contradirt Mime information given in a news article published Oct. 13. 1976 in the Hastings Banner and at the same time enlighten the electors of Barry County with some information possibly nol generally known to them. As Castleton Township supervisor. I am urging Barry County electors to vole "no" on County Propo* al I) to fix the allocation of the 15 mills at the same current levels for the next five year*. Hastings School Superin­ tendent Rirhard Guenther, stated that the adoption of lhe proposal would save taxpayers an estimated $7500 over lhe five year period. This is not true because I he cost per year for the allocation board is >735 This adds up to $3675 for the five years. Subtracting from this lhe *harr contributed to lhe cost of the election by having this on lhe ballot over the whole county make* this figure consider ably les.*. What little savings realized would nol be worth I be loss of flexibility possible if lhe allocation board would function without prejudice. There would be no saving* when it comes lo making up a budget because this i» necessary anyway. The allo cation board presently meet* about 4 lo 6 month' prior to the adoption of a final budget for all unit' involved. This should l» time enough for schools to be able lo predict their annual tax revenue* fur their budget planning I am sure the State taw covering the split of the 15 mill* is either unknown or not clear to most taxpayer* and'or electors, including lhe allocation board Pubbe Art No. 139 of 1971 seis the minimum lax rates for the schools, county, and town ships. Also the law stairs if the combined requests total to more than the 15 mill limit, due consideration should lie given to lhe need shown in the respective budgets when dividing the balance. The present split "I the 15 mills gives the schist* double their minimum, the county nearly double, and the townships the minimum. I might add the township* have to fight for this amount. The township*’ needs, understandably arr not as large dollar wi*c a* the schools or county but the need of more than the mini mum is just as great. Fixing the allocation of lhe IS mill* as in County Proposal D would hinder thr township* in their effort* to provide the service* mandated to them by law. Townships furnish fire protection, ambulance ser­ vice, and In some caw* police protection. The Coun ty Road Commis*i>xi asks them to help pay lhe cost of maintaining and upgrading the county road* even though the county receive* road money from the *tale and the townships none The township* pay lhe cost of .KM-ssing property, collect­ ing taxes, and then disburse nlioul 97% of the revenue collected to the county and the schools with the school* getting (nun 70% to 80% of lhe revenue collected. A few lownship* enforce their own zoning ordinance and con *1 ruction code. Other* would enforce their own zoning ■■rdmancr and construction ci*ie Others would if they could afford it. AD these costs and many others are paid for by the townships and Mill the allocation board ha* seen fit to only allow the township* the minimum of one mill and niorr than once tried to take that from them. One member of the board advocates lhe lownship* should not finance fire and ambulance service nor police protection. These services and others are most economically and logically administered by a level of government closest to the people w> the people them selves may have input in lhe operation and decision mak ing involved. Continuation the sup port of township govern menl will best be served by voting "no" an County l*ro poaal D. Sincerely. Justin W. Cooley.

EXPERIENCE Helen Root is no stranger to state or national government. As a Democratic National To the Fxfitor: I am a resident of Barry County now. formerly from Charlotte. 1 am acquainted with both parties running for Circuit Judge for Barry and Eaton Counties. Both arr great men but honestly feel there is only "one" Iualificd lo be judge in these sys of rising crime. 1 am voting for Willard Mikesell because he repre sent* the honest taxpaying people. His honesty, integ rity. wisdom and hard work are lhe ultimate. He knows lhe law and has lhe courage to see that it is applied fairly and firmly. Judge Mikesell has much experience with trial cases. Hi* opponent has a lack of experience with jury trials... only two jury cases in the early 70's. Eaton County has a decrease in crime. In New Orleans crime has gone down because lhe law is really cracking down firm ly. I vote foe the person. A few year* ago the Republicans, which I am. felt our incumbent County Clerk should be put out of office and replaced by a Republi can. I knew our county clerk was doing an excellent job. actually beyond expectation but we Republicans pul up a very nice but inexperienced penon to oppose her. The incumbent clerk won be­ cause people knew she was lhe best. Now again 1 feel the same thing is happening with the Circuit Judge Office. I am voting for '.Villard MikewU. Your vole for Judge Mike Committeewoman, and a state party officer — Helen Root has worked at both levels, formulating and developing policies and platforms that address the problems that confront us, with sound common sense programs.

I*age 6 STICK WITH Voice of the People nt urn who i* mtere*trd in keeping local government »ln>ng ami ready lo meet Prairieville Township, and A, lhe nerd* of its people. I would like to share my thought* regarding lhe H«ct REPUBLICANS for Rutland Township Supervisor Donald R. Borton Clerk Sally Ann Mennell Denis W. Munson Treasurer Dwight Hamman Trustee problem of providing a Clerk fur Prairieville Township. When 1 left the Township Clerk job last spring. Elinor Welly look on lhe responu bilitirs of the Clerk's office and did a very efficient and thorough job until the board was able lo find and appoint a township elerk. Many Township iesideala inquired about the job but after spending an hour or so aIt hr Clerk's office not one of them except Eisen a Vanden burg was even willing to try this demanding and time consuming job. Elsrna Vandenburg took office in June and resigned in August. Elsena was talk ed into taking the Clerk’s job by several persons in the Township, and I must admit I was one of them. I'm sure no one can critieire her for returning lo her prevkius job which provided many fringe benefits and shorter working hours, none of which is available when working for the township. I think all o» us in Prairieville Township owe Elsena Van denhurg a big thanks for being willing to try the job. When Elsena handed In her resignation she found that it was too late to have her DON GILMER IXMRHMI name removed from the November ballot However, she has staled that she will ■wit accept the office even if elected. After Elsena Vandenfwirg's resignation. Elinor Welly again look on the work in the Clerk's office. In ».irking with Elinor Welly, I have found her lo be very • Ificienl. conscientous and hard working, but since her husband. Joel Welly, is •upervisor of Prairieville Township, she has felt ‘hat Ii would be improper for her to file a petition and run lor township clerk. However, she says she dues enjoy the work and is willing to serve if elected. There is no Stale law that prohibits a husband and wife from both holding township office al the same lime. In fact, a neighboring township has a husband and wife on thr ballot running for Ihr offices of supervisor ami clerk. for the good of lhe town •hip I think the voters of Prarirville Township could vole for Elinor Welty aa a write in candidate for Town­ ship Clerk on November 2nd. As deputy clerk, she has assumed all lhe respun abilities of Clerk including ,i< inunling. secretarial, reg•Irations, elections, and member of thr various Hoards and Commission to which thr Clerk has been apLoinlrd. I urge all voter* to write the name of Elinor Welty in Ska rJ2 on . ketfon day and cast their vote for the per m4i who has proven that she b willing and able to handle thr job. Sincerely. Judy Decker To the Editor: As I notice the bias and unfairness of the news media in reference to I’res. Ford I am at a loss lo umlerstand it. To me he represents all that is fair and honest. I am 90 year* of age and have always voted and always evaluated every pre­ sidential candiate carefully as I love my coun’.ry dearly and to me Pres. Ford is out­ standing in many waya. I believe he is a true patriot, and how desperately wo need patriots in thia stage of our national history. 1 wa* especially phased when he pardoned Richard Nixon. Not because 1 thought Nixon deserved it. but because of the courage it look lo perform lhe act. He knew what the reaction would be. That it would bring down criticism and condemnation on his head, perhaps even to lhe extent of ruining his political ca­ reer. but be did it because he fell it was lhe right thing to do and let the chips tall where 'hey would. I have listened lo these* debates carefully and it was so apparent that the ques lions were very carefully moderated to favor Carter while the animosity toward l*re*. Ford waa very pro nounced. I wonder who they thought they were fooling? The American people air not all morons. The support of Carter by organised labor doesn’t represent a good thing foe the country to me. I think the Union leaders are interested only in power with no concern for the good of the country. I remember how several year* ago lhe members of th* teamsters union overturned the milk trucks and I believe even killed some of the drivers rather than lei them deliver their milk during a strike. Do we want a puppet government under a union domination? If Pre*. Ford loses in this election which I expect he will as lhe Repub lican party is greatly in lhe minority I think he will still be lhe winner. He will be out from under lhe burden he has carried so long. A con gress so dominated by hi* opponent* that they blocked everything he tried to do and a news media who wee* never lair to him.

In lhe last 10 year* our culture has been wooed into believing it needs new pro ducts: "use them anil throw them away". This applies to napkins, lighters, pens, raxors. etc. the list is endless. It’s convenient, hy­ gienic. handy, less cluttered. And that applies to contain ers. When finished, where do they go? To lhe dump, in lhe garbage, in a refuse bin. out the rar window. But they don’t disappear then. Someone rise pirks them up. buries them, or even re­ cycles them. Ijnd fill dumps fill rapidly. Who wants the next dump situated in his area? But more important than all this problem of handling lhe "convenient throw away." is the ultimate loss of resources In producing these. Glass containers need sand and other minerals.

This has resulted in a bfor of creeds, catechisms and church manuals All have changed and are likely to change again Certainty this is not the truth we sock. Others, mure pragmatic, would sav. "Anything a person thinks lo be true is true " His standard is the thinking ol each individual. Man becomes a law unto himself. How foolish to call thia truth. Each of us can recall times our personal judgement was proven wrong This cannot be real truth. Truth cannot change. It must bo real and relevant and dependable for Ml mon or it is not truth. Truth cannot be invented or fabricated by mon. If a political party, the individual, or even a religious group can change it ths is not the truth we seek.

The system provides a system for depreciation and for other business-like proce dures. Steeby helped to start the Christmas tree industry in the area, and there are now about a dozen Christmas tree growers. The seedling program also was Sleebr's baby, and in the past year the Soil Conservation Dis­ trict joined the Extension program. Seedlings were purchased cooperatively and averaged 100,000 a year.

Former Zion f This Week sMessage THE ONE BAPTISM by Stan Clanton. Minister Church of Christ In Epriown* 4 5 the apostle Paul affirms that there Is "one baptism." Just as there is but one Lord, one God. and one faith, there is but one baptism. Since Paul was an apostle wIk> was writing lhe commandments of the lord (I Corinthian* 1437), he obviously spoko with authority when he slated clearly that there is one baptism. ONE baptism, not two or throe. If two teachers teach two different ways of being baptized, then one ol them is not teaching the one baptism If two teachers teach two different and opposite puiposes ol baptism, then one of them is not teaching the one baptism. The one baptism is one kind of action, completed by one subject, involving one dement and liaving one puipose Notice these four aspect* of the one baptism 1 ITS SUBJECT. Who can be baptized? In Matthew 28 19 Jesus said. "Go ye therefore, and teach aS nation*, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and ol the Son. and of the Holy Ghost." According to thia passage, only ilmw taught were lo be baptized. Jesm in another place said. "It is written i.1 lhe prophet*. And they shall be sB taught of God Every man therefore that hath heard, anti hath learned of tire Father, comelh unto me" (John 6 45) No one can come to God who is nut old enough to be taught and kti^b. This means that babies are not fit subjects for baptism They have never sinned and do not need to be baptized. In Acts 8.36 37 the man horn Ethiopia asked, "Here is water, what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said. If thou beiievest with all thine head, thou maynst." Belief was J prerequisite to being baptized 2. ITS ACTION Baptism is a burial The Greek word moans to immerse. Thete is another Greek word for pouring and »t01 anothei for sprinkling To baptize is to immerse. Paul referred to it as being "buried" with Christ in Romans 6:4. Act* 8 38 tea* u* diat two men went down into the water when there was a baptism, and then they came "up out ol the water" (verse 39) This would not have been necessary if it wuru done by sprinkling. Also, note that The Rev. George Nietexn of Youngstown, Ohio, and a former pastor of Zion latlh cron Church. Woodland, will be lhe special guest pastor al the fall series of .‘►pitliual life Services sponsored by the Woodland congregation. These special services will be held on Sunday through Tuesday evening. Nov. 7 9, at 7:30 p.m. Pastor Neiman will preach al each service, as well a* on Sunday morning al 11 a.m. A Youth Supper will be beid on Monday at 6 p.m. with Pastor Neiman »* guest speaker. lay people of lhe con gregalion will serve as woe ship leaders at the evening service. A fellowship hour will follow each service. There will also be a book and gift table available from Augsburg Publication House. Everyone is cordially invited to attend these ser vices. to baptize. X ITS ELEMENT. The sfement of baptrnn to water. The one baptism of Ephesians 45 to water baptism. Note jus' »o dear scripture* on thts "See here is WATER, what doth Under me lo be baptized f" (Acts 836) "Can any man forb«1 the WATER, that these would not be baptized?" (Acts 10:47>. 4. ITS PURPOSE. The purpose of the one baptism is for die remission of sins. It is so that one can tie saved. In Mark 16:16 Jsous said. He trial bebewrth and is baptizvd shM be saved." Two firings come before arrfvMion according to this verse belief and baptism Peter told the multitude on the day of fsntccost "Repent, and tie baptized every one of you in tlw name of Jesus Christ for the remrssion of sms. and ye sha* receive the gift of tlie Holy Spirit." Cieaify baptism wa* "for the remissiori of sin* " Thus Peter would say later m lea letter, baptism doth now save us - (I Peter 3:211. And Ananias told Paul. "And now why miriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sms. cafing on the name of the lord " Galatians 3:27 tsA* u* that when we have been baptized into Christ, we have put on Christ To emphasize the importance of baptism as a part of becoming a Christian ia not to undermine the grace of God. Il wto always be true that we are saved hy grace. Wo hove our redemption ttwough the blood of Christ ICoknsians 1.141. But the Bible tefto u* that man must obey God in order to be forgiven (Hebrew* 5:91 Baptism is not a meritorious work, but it is an act of obedience. It is an act of faith and trust in Christ. II there is no faith in Chrnt. baptism is useless Baptism is not the cause of our salvation, but rt • the moment when salvation happens. In Acts 19.15 we learn that Paul rebaptized some people who were taught wrong about baptism the first time It was important that tliey understood and obeyed exactly as God had taught.

The presidential race was cluse that no matter which way you voted, you have to respect the other party for running a good race. To Barry County voters, the reeutts should be satisfying For both U.S. congressman and state representative, local voters had two good candidates to choose from. We think that the congressional and state representative districts chose the men who come closest to the beliefs of the majority in th«s county Wo hope that the toamg candidates stay m pubfcc Me. for they both have much to offer. There were surprises, of course, and that makes elections interesting. And it Is obvious that, at least on ths local level.

Richard N. lanighrin Judge of Probate To the Editor: I am writing this letter in hopes you will print it in your paper. I am confined in the Barry Co. jail for the offense of leaving state to avoid child support. This offense is punishable by imprisonment up to four years or by fine up to 82.000 or both. I was arrested out of state and brought bark August 7th. 1976. I have been to court a few times and so far have enter nd my plead of NOT GUIL­ TY and asked for a jury trial. The trial date was set for Ort. 26th. 1976. but the day before my trial 1 was told my trial was postponed to a later date but no date is set as yet. I have been involved in child support in Harry and Eaton Counties foe the last child support should be en­ forced if the father does not pay it. But the child support rights for all. If a father is sentenced to a long sentence the taxpay er is the one who loots the bill in more than one way (room and board for the inmale and A.D.C. for the child), and the fathers sup port is going more behind while he is confined. Now back to my case ia Barry County I feel that Tn NOT GUILTY as I did not father this child and I can prove it in more way's than one. And I believe that the court and its staff know this even before the divorce was granted. So if the court wants to delay my trial I guess the taxpayer can foot the bill. As for Eaton Co. I am guilty. I have no rights to a plea and can get up to one year on a bench warrant. So as I see it today is I will do the time and the tax­ payer can foot the bill GUILTY or NOT GUILTY. L.L. Roscoe Barry County Jail Hastings. Mich. P.S. I have already done five months before this date tn this same case. (Taxpay­ ers fool the bill). Tn the letter With the coming of the 1976 deer hunting season Nov. 15 I feel the Conserva lion Dept. should use belter judgement in giving a deer to a person or persons who don I shoot them. The ques lion in mind is who gets the deer after it's shot, the hunter who shoots the six­ teen point buck in his own wheat field or the fifteen year old boy who is stand­ ing in the fence row and runs out and lags the deer after it's shot. I feel that this is unfair and shows no sports manship at all. So all I can say to the hunters is put your shotguns back in the closet and gel your track shoes on and go gel them. I feel our Conservation Offi err was a little lax in handling this ease. Sincerely, Neighbors and Friends of Roger Brumm Hastings flics Club In Person from Las Vegas, Nev.

Pastor Grace Lutheran Church, Hastings The member of Alcoholics Anonymous begin with each other whore they are. "My name b and I am an alcohofic." they come clean one after the other We would ail do well to be that honest. My name ia Michael Anton. And I am a terminal man. Like you. I am dying. The Scriptures are nothing leas than leaftitic on thin point. However different we may each be. we are ail funning IrreversiUy toward our common meeting in death. "Our outer nature if westing awey," «*Y» Apostle Paul in 2 Cor. 4. And if something more drastic does not bring a hah to our living, the actuary tables wiM. (liven that we «<e dying, what do we say of life. B D. and A.O.. before death and after death? If we are faithful to lhe Scriptures, we must speak of We on both eidea of death. The Christian Church has spent a wasteful amount of time arguing for one side or the other On the one hand are thoeo whom kfe is passing l>y as they wart only for the nest world. Some are waiting until they can get out of this congested no man's land of dirty cities and expensive groceries and underpaid labor. Some suggest nothing matters except where you spend eternity, without dearly adding that where you spend eternity is i doted to your life in Christ in the here and now. MeenwfWe. on the other wde of the room are those who say it's aS a pipedreem. wishful thinking, a copout, an illuuonary, «responsible and immature pie in the sky by and by. But If»e Scriptures clearly refuse to choose between these two. It’s not "aither-or." but both and.’ God's Word deals in direct, concrete and sometimes earthy terms wtih the Ide we live out in the here end now. the kfe that says. "What you see a what you get ' Yet. with the clarion signal of our Lord's Resurrection, we have equally the hope that transcends this life, an insistent affirmation tliat death means we've only |ust begun. Death confronts us with the real fact wo are finite. Death does not drnrnisb the value of Me; rather, it enhances that value. We’re inclined to spend life the way we use an economy size of toothpaste - westing hugs chunks because we're sure there ■ a tfetxne supply n that firm, full tube. Have you noticed how the last two inches seem to last as long as lhe first sis? With sis down and two to go. we suddenly realize we're going to run out. We use the remainder with much more care. The 90th Psalm says rts much better than we can: "The years of our life are threescore and ton. or even by reason of strength fourscore: yet their span is but toil and trouble; they are soon gone....So teach us to number our days that we may get a bean of wisdom." Being aware of our limited time points us back to lhe Apostle Paul: "look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen, for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.". Facing lhe reality of death is a blessing of God. it moans we have to come to terms with the meaning of life. Death has a way of sorting and sifting our values. Life is too brief and too beautiful to slop through. Being able to reorder pnorities is a gift of facing death Like "Ole' Man River.'' many of us are "tired of kvm' and scared of dym’," because we live only for the things we can see, the things that wither and pass so quickly. Living for the withering is hke existing as a loner in a no men's land, not at home in this world and wiitKKit a living hope in the next. Biblical. Christian hope asserts kfe. B.D. and A.D That hope is grounded in the Easier resurrection of our Lord Jesus lhe Christ. The God who was there at the beginning promises to be there at the and, bringing afl his newborn children through that same glorious resurrection to life eternal. Life before doeth can icme stive. Green becomes greener, water wetter, kfe richer and deeper. It happens when life before death is measured against kfe after death.

"I lost my husband in World War II and two sons in the Korean War. but I don't know what it is to lose a dog."

To grumble and complain is a very poor way to express one s gratitude. The nation of Israel grumbled almost constantly and brought on the displeasure of God. Count your blessings! You'll be happier and everyone around you will be too. The best way for one to show ha appreciation for the good things of God is for him to bring his life into harmony with the teachings of the Word of God.

Stop in and talk with us. Hastings Savings & Loan Association We i probably never know how many hundreds of thousands of dollars the beverage industry and tliee retailers spent trying to defeat the bon on non-returnable bottles, on the November baOot. It was probably in the millions, since the Committee Against Forced Deposits was working with a *760.000 war chest, and individual com­ panies spent a lot more. But it has bodn suggested that if the industry hod saved its dough, it probably could have built a great deal of that extra bottle storage space it has been complaining would be needed And if the industry saved those tliousands for the next two years, before lhe bon goes into effect, a bdy sum could have been earned off the interest. You’ve heard of the one that got away, but dirl you hoar about the three fish that broke a chain to get awey? It happened to Marv Varus and Ned Gardner of Hastings City Bank on Veterans Day These veteran fishermen sojourned to South Haven for a day of angfing. mamfy for the bg rambows that are coming into the rivers Between them, they caught throe nice ones and put ’em on the stringer, attached to lhe pier. But the three fish (must have been working together) broke the chain stringer, and away they went Marv and Neri tried dragging for them, hoping to snag the chain and bring them back. Bui they never saw them again. They did get throe more, however, with Marv's biggest going over 11 pounds. So the Varus and Gardner families enjoyed some good fish dinners. .Soldiers Monument-The ■Mnaaent honoring the men who fought in the War between the States for many years stood at lhe Intersec­ tion of Hute and Broodway.

If everyone in America today believed thia, we would not be the divided nation we are. Wo are a divided nation because there are groups of citizens who do not believe that fully and love your neighbor pt you love yourself."

County Farm waa a much more accurate name than Poor Farm. a« .-ome called it. Many of lhe people who lived there led productive lives. The land waa farmed, and lupported a good sized herd of dairy cows. They had a large garden that produced alol of good healthy food. There was a poultry house stocked with many laying hens. So. you much fond was produced right on the farm by the people who lived there. John Castelein was man ager for many years, and his wife. Elsie, was cook and housekeeper. He was allow rd one hired man and a lady­ cook. The people who lived there enjoyed helping, and in odd lunes, in summer, the cool shade under lhe maples nude a very restful spot It look about two gondolas of coal each year for fuel. Thr cars were pul on the siding al Quimby and the real dumped on the ground The men from the farm shoveled it onto the truck and then again shoveled it into the coal bin at the County Farm. At the end of day they looked like black men. Several of the younger men worked for farmers by the day and bought their own clothes. They didn't ever buy cigarettes, bn ause in those da>v. they knew a coffin nail was a coffin nail. The County Farm was good economy, and was a restful place for those who stayed there.

Tbe one best told concerned Al bert Green, who lived in Maple Grove Township. He hauled a load of logs to Hastings each day on his sleigh. Ju«t before be came to the crossing, he met an automobile, and he heard the 9:00 p.m. passenger coming from the west, as he was on his way home. There was quite a lot of snow and it waa uncertain if an auto would go where it was steered for there were very few autos who braved thr unplowed roads in those days. The team became frightened and ran out of runtrol. Mr. Green let go the lines anti rolled off sideways into the snow bank. The train hit lhe back bunks of the sleighs and left the front bunks and team running down lhe road in lhe dark. The train slopped and lhe crew searched about a half hour for Mr. Green's body. They even looked over the road* under the care. Un­ seen in lhe dark. Mr. Green cut cross lots to Quimby, w here some people had stop ped the run away horses. He rontinuedon home with only half a sleigh. Henry Castelein loved to joke and he was always looking for a way to spring one in lhe store. Sometimes they were rather embarrassing.

Roy would fill two 50 gallon drums for Henry to draw out into five gallon cans. A five gallon can full would put a model T Ford many miles down the road. As George was carry­ ing his bundles of mail and parcel post from lhe post office to his automobile Roy went into tbe store, where the post office was located. Henry took George's pooch, which held stamps post cards, stamped envelopes, receipt book for money or­ ders and a little change, and hid it. George came back in the store and began to search for liis carrier's pouch and couldn't find it. In those days a fellow didn't fool around with Uncle Sam. Roy hid gone out to leave and Henry said to George, “This driver Roy is new to us and you don't suppose he picked up the pouch?” So, George hurried out and asked Roy if he knew where lhe pooch was. Was Roy embarrassed? They saw Henry standing in the door laughing fit to split and waving tbe pooch. So. the Quimby store was not a dull place. For 40 years Henry Caste lein. morning and night, carried his cash box between house and store and was never molested by robbers.

Though they have been going through much trouble and nard times, they have mixed their wonderful joy with their own deep poverty, and the result has been an overflow of giving to others. They gave not only what they could afford, but far morel and I can testify that they did it because they wanted to, and not because of nagging on my part. They begged us to taka the money so they could share in the joy of helping th* Christmas in Jerusalem. Best of all. they went beyond our highest hopes, or their first action was to dedicate themselves to the Lord and to us. fo- whatever directions God might give to ther through us." 2 Corinthians 8:1-5 Living Bible Real giving comes from our sense of poverty rather than our abundance. This is highlighted in the scripture verses which are quoted above. Paul, the first great missionary for the Christian faith, is commending the Christians of Macedonia for their concern for the poor in Jerusalem. They themselves were not rich, but might have been worse off than those persons whom they wanted to help Because of their own needs, they could really feel for the needs of others. They didn't ask if those people were worthy of the giving; they weren’t concerned merely for their own local Gospel Sing For Shady Oak Center West Wood/and BY VICTOR SISSON A happy and bountiful Thanksgiving to the Banner Force and all our readers, is the wish of your scribe.

The primary concern of the Christian message is the salvation of lhe human soul. Even before Jesus was born, the angel told Joseph. "He shall save his people from their sins (Matthew 1211. Paul told Timothy, "Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptation that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners" II Timothy 1:15). Christ's ultimate mission was therefore rooted in eternity. The disciples of Christ in the first century never viewed lhe Christian faith as primarily a message promoting less crime, better living conditions or economic grain For them Jesus wa*. above all else the way of salvation Forgiveness of sms through Christ should be the ultimate concern and primary message of every church. The most noble ambition one can have is to want to learn how to come into contact with the saving blood of Christ. Jesus never promised that foOowmg him would make every problem in this life crumble He recognized that "in this world ye shall have tribulation" (John ’6-331. But he did promise that through him we could be victorious over sin and Irve in heaven with God throughout eternity. �THE HASTINGS BANNER. Wednetday. November 24, 1976. Page 10 Bo, SvHer.

Merle Sisson Economy-1776-1976 BY CAMERON MclNTYRE Bring an old hay seed, don t grt mad about what I say and remember that I am not an economfat. Our economists and everyone else has an ex­ planation for the economic condition of the world of today. For a considerable number of years, our economy was one of human survival. As our country grew , self employed people provided or produced ar­ ticles and services that the industrious average ritixen could begin to afford. Then came the time when wealth increased and fac­ tories were built, thus began the industrial revolution. If you need a sample at what happens, nest consider con dittons in the British Tales. Our own economy in Michi gan i» geared to the auto mobile industry. Do you like it? lx-1 us give Detroit to the stale of Ohio. If one is knowledgeable and honest they will consult Wt'lislcr’s definition of economy and economies. There are four wools, and a Received your Consumers Power refund check? You may have more coming.

Thr words are extrava­ gance, waste, need, and want. The fifth word b thrift. Du those words have any influence on the condi­ tions we arc experiencing? God created thb earth such, that in nature not one thing is wasted. Even the tiny snowflake melts, giving its mosituro for the growth of plants. After man. animals and plants die. their elements return to the soil to prialuce again. We could say that life b Eternal In its ow n circumstances. For a little breather, many of lhe Michigan sett­ lers came from New York Slate or Ohio. It used lobes ■i-mmon saying that you could tell the man who came from Ohio, because hb wife would milk the cows. My Grandmother milked a cow when she was an old lady. It is possible to make alcohol from the garbage that fa considered useless. If the powers that be, wanted Io do so. an automobile engine eould be made that .-■'uld be fueled by alcohol. \lcobd b a very clean fuel, □nd our large cities eould furnish an immense amount of energy fuel. Pardon me from using some personal facts. Around 1925 the total tax take for the 4.1 acre Quimby property was just over $25 now the total tax take is near 10000 on tbr same 43 acres. Taxes and cost of living seem to be the main com plaints. Much money is spent before it t« ever esrned. the Mme as the chicken is the only animal that fa eaten before it is born. Do you remember that in (be 1930’s John L. Lewis, head of lhe Coal miners union, tried very hard to buy lhe auto workers union. He offered 10 million dollars. Where did that money come from? It tune from us; the consumers who bought reel. When there is a strike all of us suffer and pay in hard cash for it. Why not give the unions everything that they asked for. and then they will price Ibcutselves out of the consumer market. That looks like the only way to gel their attention. I never buy union made products if I can help it. because they are expensive and often of In­ ferior quality. A self employed person stands on his own feet. No one furnishes him shelter to work in, light, heal, ehrtricity, and perhaps a machine that may cost thousands of dollars. The consumer pays for those benefits, along with lhe union man. Here fa shown a great American sin. It is appreciation. If you eould see the items that make up the cost of what you buy. you would say it was unbelieveable. Here are some: 1. How many kinds of taxes were included? 2. Who buys the trucks, trees, and gasoline that de­ liver goods to the stores'? 3. Who pays for lhe roads that they travel on? 4. Who eventually pays for workers union dues? 5. Who pays for sick leave, health insurance, paid vaca­ tions and all fringe benefits? fl. Who pays for power hungry government inspec tions? And many inspections are duplicated. 7. Who pays the insurance costs of many kinds and sizes? 8. Who pays for the lengthy government re­ ports?

Hastings, Mkh. 49051 for Children The Yuletidr season •hould be a time of joy for children and their families, but each year thousands of youngsters suffer serious injuries from dangerous or defective toys. The Barry Red Cross urges parents to guard against what could be a shattering experience by carefully shopping for toys that cannot harm their child­ ren. "Consumer groups seek to bring dangerous toys to the attention of the public, but parents still have the pri­ mary responsibility tor in­ suring that they an- safe." says C.P. Dail, national di­ rector of Red Cross First Aid. He suggests that parents carefully examine each toy they buy. keeping in mind how their child is likely to use it. whether it is durable enough to stand up under rough play, and what is its potential of damage from misuse. The toy's size and con struction is the most im­ portant consideration. Dail says. The toy and any parts that might come off should be large enough so they cannot be swallowed Parents should a'so look for sharp metal edges, or plastic that can break and leave sharp fragments that a child might swallow. Even soft stuffed doll* and animals are dangerous if they have button eyes that can be pulled or chewed off and then be swallowed. And wire used to form an car ran protrude through fabric and cause injury. "Electrical toys are es­ pecially hazardous." Dail ad­ vised. "They should always carry the UL (Underwriters' Laboratory! test label, should be kept in good repair, and should be used under supervision. Parents should teach the child the correct way to plug and unplug an electric toy and should make doubly certain the child is old enough and responsible enough to handle toy Metal­ molding and wood burning devices safely." j STREET A NO | • TOWNSTATEZIP I | I j I have endeeed: 08.08 let Barry County’residents 99.00 ler AUegaa, Calbnua, Eaten, Ma.

When Area With Quality ik Social Security Records Be Honored The Social Security Ad­ ministration is asking for comments by the public on the question of how much information should be dis­ closed from social security records, according to Gail Russell, manager of the Grand Rapids social security office which serves Barry County.

"An important issue un­ derlying these laws is the basic conflict between the public's right to know and the right of privacy of the people whose records are kept by Social Security,” Mr. Russell said. "We will need tn resolve that conflict in our regulations and we want the public's help." The Social Security Ad­ ministration published a “Notice of Intent" in the November 22. 1976 Federal Register. A copy is available for inspection at the Grand Rapids publie library.

The Barry Board of Com­ missioners recently autho­ rized the purchase of two radar unite at a total cost of 12,791.10. and the units are now bring used by officers in the Sheriffs Department. Sheriff David 0. Wood hailed the addition of the radar unit» as "fine tools" for docking the speed vehicles traveling in the county. All officers in the Shenli s Department have reerived classroom training on the use of radar, and also in­ struction in the field. The units can be used when the police cars are moving, or stationary. When moving, they can determine the speed of vehicles ap proaching. The officer can also determine about how fast ears are traveling in the same direction. When the cruisers are stationary, the radar units can check vehicles going in any direction. (.locking by radar is much more effective. Sheriff Wood said. “In the past we've had to depend loo much on an officer's judgment. Also, speedometers vary, and arc difficult to keep in ealibea lion. Radar is a better method foe enforcing the speed laws." Wood said. Sheriff Wood said it is a proven fact that accidents have decreased and the seriousness of accidents less ened with the lowering of the speed limit "We feel that the speed limits should be enforced.” Sheriff Wood continued. "They should be enforced in the 2535 and 45 mile zones, too. And problems arise when school hu<cs are picking up children to lake to school, and when they are returning them to their homes. If we tries! to pace vehicles driving in a hazar dous manner when these conditions occur, we could well create a dangerous situation ourselves." Sheriff Wood added. Sheriff Wood «aid clocking ears on county roads which may be narrow and hilly was difficult, and often danger ous. "By the time we're onto them, they see us." Since the radar unite have been in use. there has been a small increase in the number of speeding tickets written, but it has been an educat ion al period, too.

"We’re happy to have the new ra-lar units, and we hope slowing down the ■peril of vehicles in our county will result tn more pleasure for motorists driv­ ing on our road*, fewer accident* and less sadness by eliminating tragedies on our highways,'' Sheriff Wood concluded. inuve iirre wi job The Hastings I nked Way Campaign reached a total ol 191.308.03 or 108 percent ol the 1*4.595 goal and 114 percent abuse last year's rwalriUtfoas, Chainaaa Pat Vaughn reports. clocked at more than 65.- Delton Home Is Burglarized Deputy Dennis Chase of the Barry County Sheriffs Department is investigating the burglary of the Penny F Staley home al 4040 S.

Weil nrsday, Dec. 8. reported to the Barry County Sheriffs Department that a John Deere chain saw had been taken from the back of his piekup. addition is expected to begin next month. .Architect and general contractor for the project is Hospital Building & Equipment Co., a St. Louis, Mo. based firm which ■pcciaii/rs in hospital design and construction. Comple lion time is 14 month*. The total regular patient beds in the hospital will still be 99. which Director Rich ard Huke says appears to be adequate at present. The entne ground floor of the new addition will be the new emergency room, which will lie three times the size •d the present one. The new emergency room will have four "minor treatment" rooms, two “major treat menl" rooms for more serious problems, a room for making casts, a larger wait ing area, and various smaller spaces for such uses as an office reception area, physi cians' lounge and nurses' locker roum. The new emergency room will also have il* own emer gcncy generator. Two emer grncy generators n >w serve ibr entire present hospital building, providing vital ser vice* if outside power is lost. The ambulance entrance to the emergency room will be on the west side of the budding. near the present emergency room entrance. It will be much larger, however, to accommodate up to three ambulances. Patient* who come in pri­ vate autos or on foot will enter from the east side, where t he parking lot will be enlarged. The upper level of the new addition will be the new intensive care unit. The unit will have six private room*, arranged in a semicircle around the nurses' station. The nurses on duty will be able to monitor the patients by the monitor unit, and will also be able to see every patient through windows in each room. There will also be a small visitors' waiting room and supply room* tor clean and used supplies. The present emergency room on the first floor will be used for much needed expansion of X ray. Fluke said. A large film library will he mated, to file the in­ creasing number of X-ray* which are taken annually. The department will also have a new waiting area, larger record* area and a third X ray room will be equipped, for use. Hospital officials are tak ing advantage of the build Ing and remodeling program to make other change* in hospital facilities. Fluke said. In several arras, facili­ ties which were considered adequate 11 years ago when the last hospital expansion program was completed are not now acceptable to the regulatory agencies. Modern standard* call for improvement* to dressing room* for doctors and nurses, and special supply rooms for clean (unused! supplies and used ones. The dressing and supply rooms in the maternity and surgery arers are being improved to meet the up-to dale standards. Maternity will also have a new waiting area (or father*. Space now used for the intensive care unit will be u»ed for regular patient* beds. Fluke said. The beds will replace other areas which must be converted for dressing and supply use. The Iota) cost of the addition and remodeling is estimated at 1900.000. Another 1170.000 will be needed for equipment for ■ total of St.070,000. Huke said that the hospi tai ha* saved 1570.000 through depreciation funds, interest and gifts, toward the building program. Thu hospital is conducting a fund-raising campaign to raise as much as possible of the other 1500.000. Financing has already been arranged (or that por­ tion of the program w hich is not covered by present sav­ ings >>r donation*. Fluke said. However, future pa tienta will pay the extra costs of that part of the program for which munev must be borrowed. During the past 10 year*, the usage of many hospital services ha* increased dramatically. The number of X ray patient* ha* more than doubled, from 7.096 in IW6 to an expected 15.889 in 1976. Emergency room usage is nearly five time* w hat it was 10 year* ago In 1966. the emergency room had 4 033 pateint* foe an average of 11 per day. In 1976, it is 19.429 or 53 per day. Although the number of patients admitted to Pen nock ha* increased over the past decade, the average ■lay is shorter, and the average number of patients in the hospital has dropped. Huke's figures show. The average stay is now 6.5 day* per patient, and the average daily census 63J person*. Ten year* ago. there was no intensive care unit. The unit was created seven years ago in space previous ly used foe other purpose* The new unit will increase intensive care from five to si* K-d*. and more than triple the space.

Pennock has been very effective at keeping up to date for a arnafl hospital This expension is just another step n that long-term strategy. It is aignrfcant that the average stay at Pennock has dropped from needy 7 H days a decade ago to 6H days st preeert. despite the fact that more sophisticated things are being done here which require longer recuperation periods. That's a compliment to physicians who don't keep their patients in longer than necessary, and to the hospital staff and management, which has provided such T-reBsj: care and facilities.

STEAL CS Warren Kidder of Free port Sunday. Doc. 12, re­ ported to the Shenll • De­ partment that his CB anten ns was stolen off kis car BINGO binding lo the township. Mrs. James Annintrout. wrrrtary of the township's Manning Commission, said the majority wanted stiff restrictions for the future placement of mobile homes to prevent lhe poasiblity of having the units oealG-red at random throughout lhe township. A major advantage of adopting a township coning ordinance. Welty said, is to "keep the control of coning matters in the hands of local people." The purpose of the or dinance is to protec t proper ly values by establish^-: guidelines, regulations-eM restrictions for the future development of land .v.d buildings in lhe township which it primarily agrirai tural in i-haracter. One provirion in thr .r dinance does allow any mobile home unit that ron forms to requirement* <>l the basic building code for con venlinnsl single family dwellings, and is installed i» a permanent foundation" tn be placed in any rone w here single family dwellings are permitted. According to Welly's interpretation. the provision refers to modular type housing. Units meeting those specific rvquirrnwr.i» will no longer be roowde-rtd to be mobile home* by definition, the ordinanre stales. Welty said there is m unusual provision in the •postflntfaM regard agricultural district ironed Al because it provides f»r a maximum lol area as well as a minimum sire. The provision states that no building shall Im* erect­ ed. altered, or enlarged tn that area unless the mini mum lot for use in this mne is two acres, up to a mast mum 9‘i acres, with a minimum width of 330 feet. In the agricultural rone and that specific provision, the intent is tn discourage speculative or undesirable land development. The maximum lot size gives the township protectioa because thr sale of more than four parrels of 10 acres or less fall* under the controls of thr [dal art. Another objec live is to maintain a large contiguous area where land v jIut* can remain relatively stablr. However, the ordinance .1 « * not deprive lhe farmer. I, r example, from selling property lo a land developer altogether, nor does it guar antes* that a subdivision will never be developed in a district zoned as agricultur al. That would be unron stitutional and the same a* confiscating a man's proper ty. Welly said. A five-member township zoning txiard of appeals pro bably will b» appointed al the township board's Janu ary meeting, he said. The ordinance stipulates that lhe first member ap pointed shall Im* a member of the township'* planning commission and the others shall be "electors" who are representatives of various areas of population distribu­ tion and interests present in the township. The appeals board will have the responsibility of interpreting the provisions in lhe ordinance with the power to authorize, upon appeal, specific variances from certain specified dimensional requirements. Il also will have authority to issue special use permits under certain conditions a* specified in each zoning dis tricl. The ordinance w ill become effective 30 days after it is published in a local news paper. A zoning district map (to be included as part of the ordinance) is expected to Im* completed soon. In other business last week, lhe board appointed Elinor Welly as township clerk. She will fill lhe two year term which was left vacant by the resignation of Elsena Vsndenburg who de ciiaed the office after voters elected her lo the port in November. Mn. Welly, wife of lhe supervisor, was a write in candidate for the clerk's office In lhe Nov. election and received 313 voles. However. Mrs. Vandenburg whose name was on lhe ballot received 415 votes. Mrs. Vandenberg was ap pointed rierk in June and first resigned August 27 which waa too late for her name lo he removed from the ballot as she had re quested. Shortly after the electkxi. lhe township board received petitions carrying nearly 500 signatures urging Mrs. Wei ty's appointment as clerk. She has served as full time deputy clerk since the end of August. 104-Times-A-Year GiftA Subscription To The Hastings Banner 104 Big Issues For Only $8.00 (Barry County Residents) Send Coupon to P.0.

SATURDAY SENIORS BY DICK TYREE Thia is the first effort al what I hope will turn out to be an interesting and infer (native weekly report <>a aviation activities at thr Hastings Airport. Many times I feel that airport activity goes unnoticed be cause of lhe "out in the country' location. In reality, there are many airport re lated events that need ex posurr lo lhe citizen* of Hasting* and Barry County. For many of the people who fly. weather is often the key factor in making gu or no-go derisions. During thr past six weeks it seems as if precious little of that com modify called "sunshine" has been available. In fact, one local pilot was seen puzzling over a bright object in the sky one morning and was stopped just short of calling Chief of Police Richard Sunior to report an unidenti fird flying object (UFOl. It turned out to be a short lived morning sun. l-a*t Monday, a visitor to the Hastings Airport might have easily believrd they were visiting an internet ion al airport. A large twin engined Cessna Business liner arrived carrying the president and European rep resent at ive of the Bohlkr Veneer Company. Once the visitors learned that our erstwhile caretaker of office affairs (lhe business kind) and coffee pot didn't speaa German, they were able to communicate using sign language and broken English. (The broken English was Doolie's.) Seems as how the Deut schlandcr* were in to survey some of that choice Barry County timber. Don't know what the results were, but we look forward to playing host to them again Fort Wayne Air Service was tn again to pick up over a half ton of freight from Flex-Fab. Seems like they are becoming almost weekly in their shipments. Unknown to many people foe example, ia lhe fact that considerable merchandise and goods pass through lhe Hastings Airport on their way to markets world wide. Marvin Gregrrson and his family arr.ved for fuel, re­ freshment and the almighty "potty stop', having flown nonstop all lhe way from Boise. Idaho. Some tailwind, eh? The Gregersons coo tinned oo to Salem. Mi., where they plan to spend the Holiday Season with famdy and friends, and then the long west bound flight back to Boise.

Study Unique Plan For Elderly Housing A unique plan to use revenue sharing funds for the cnnstroction of low cost housing for elderly Barry County people has Ix-cn proposed hr County Com anssniorr T. Edward Me i aarlin, and a committee has been named to study the pn^nsal. Mcl’harlin. a builder in hi* own right, made the rorom mendation at last week’s meeting of the Board of Commissioner*. Mcl’harlin wants to hear the public's reaction to the plan Mcl’harlin pointed out that the county used federal revenue sharing funds to build a half million dollar jail to ai-commodate one *cg men! of the population and said "Doesn't it make sense, now. to build something for the hard working, lax pay ing olilcr citizen* who really need a place especially de signcsl for retired folks who can't hr as active a* once they were?'' Mrl*harlin said building the county jail wa» right and necessary, "but, let’s face it. the people who reside there can hardly wail to gi-l out." Mcl’harlin said that place* wih a* Dade County. Flori­ da, have already used fed­ eral money for erecting low rost housing for older citi­ zen*. There is no reason that Barry County shouldn't lead the way in investigating the possilxlity of using public funds to get housing for the elderly underway here in Michigan. “There would be no addi tional coal to taxpayer*, and |>euplc living in such a project would pay a monthly sum to cover all of their living need*. It would have to l>e patterned after similar homes in surrounding roun ties. "It would have the advant­ age of allowing people, who now have to leave the eom munity. to remain near their friends and relative*. It's definitely not a welfare pro gram." Mcl’harlin added. Commissioner MrFharlin pointed out that the Clark Memorial Home in Grand Rapid* is a wonderful place, hut ha* a waiting list and local resident* must leave old surrounding* to live there. Mcl’harlin *aid about one half of the revenue sharing money that come* to Barry County over the next four years could he allotted to the project. Then- i* a nerd and there i* no point in saying we can't do it," the Commissioner added. Mcl’harlin said citizen*' opinion* on the proposal will he welcomed. He suggested letter* hr written to news­ papers. letter* or personal comment* may be given to any county commissioner* or members of the study committee, and letters or calls can be made to Eloise Wolf al the Barry County Commission im Aging. 120 North Michigan. Hastings, phone 1MK8061. This Citizen input is very important at this lime as it will help the committee deride whether to purse the project. Don't delay, write today." Mcl’harlin said. The study committee b to m<Ti Jan. 5. It is composed of Commissioners Mcl’harlin and Russell Bemtar; Ken singer Jones, from the Plan­ ning A Faming Commission; Gary Holman, who will be­ come |iro*ecuting attorney on Jan. I; Mrs. Peg Buerge. director of the Barry County Medical Care Facility, and EHse Wcif. director of th* Commission on Aging.

Today’s Yosiffc An Council Can Overcome Objections to DDA Tn* vocal oppowtxxi of some residents of th* proposed Downtown Development Authority dwtnet should not make counci think that th* plan ia not worth saving. Th* opposition came primarily from home­ owner* within th* are*, who fear higher taxes and expropriation of their property. Th* solution fat simpi*--redraw th* bound­ aries to include ae few horns* a* poe*We. while mckxkng most of th* downtown are* business** We think that residents over-1 sactad to the proposal, and we i comment on that in a later editorial. But over-reaction or not. the development authority proposal could bo very bcnwticial to the Chy of Hasting*, and the objections of homeowner* can. for the most pan. be met. When the district was firm drawn up, the counci's Ordfoance Committee mtentionaBy drew the boundaries broerty. They knew H is much easier to cut the area doom than to expand it later. And that’s what the council should consider doing. II most ol the property owner* in the W. Slate St. area don't want to be in the district, just trim it down Set th* west boundary at Park St. or the nwktie of the bkek jurt west of Park, perhaps. The south boundary could be Center St., or even th* middle of th* block Between Court and Center This coukl soive more problem*, without eimmating much busines* property Ad properly owners must remember, that the smaller the area, the fewer piece* of property can benefit from the development authority. Property that is residential now may be business in a few years. If such property is excluded from th* dstrict now. it wd be hard to get it included later. The concept of the downtown develop ment authority is potentially too valuable to be sacrificed became of the stated objec non*. The state law ponrrttmg such authorities is intentionally far ranging, to aBow local communities a lot of choice in how they undertake development. This means that the authority could work in many arses which need attention -building renovation, parking lot building and main­ tenance. even buying. s«*ng and leasing property. Although cities, by state law, now have moat of those powers and mote, city government generally does not give specific attention to downtown problems fake the development authority would. The critical point for th* downtown authority wd be the time when its members are appointed. If the coundl act* by logic and is not scared off by last week's bearing, the authority wtil be created. But it win not be effective unless strong, imaginative people are appointed to it The state tuts made it possible for Hasting* and other communities to "take the bul by the home" and deal with thee business district problem*. Hastings r* at a pool where it can take the initiative and use it, or blow the opportunity. Although only a handful of businessmen were on hand last weeks to support th* authority proposal, we think most are in favor of it They know that the Hastings business dwtrict has only two long range choices up or out. And the development authority ia one wey to encourage progress. Unless the authouty idea is kited by cound. there w* probably be another pubfic hearing, after changes are made. We hope that more businessmen especially retailerswd be able to attend and show their support. In this situation, coundl can go ahead with the authority proposal, but modify the boundary fanes to exclude moat of those who object to it. The smaBer dntrict might not include all th* businesses which ought to be included, but it could include the heart of the busines* district th* area which most needs th* development authority.

They may have foolishly thought they were. If you by-pass your youth, you have missed the moat important part of your life. I enured high school at age 20 having made the 8th grade al 14 years. In tboee six years I lived at home and helped dad and mother, on the farm. At that time there were 28 full lime farmers and farm families on old MTV between Harting* and Nash vifle. Now there are two or three. In tboee six years, I grew a strong body. I studied and kept honey bees, I read and studied the Bible through, I did a large amount of other good reading. I fished and swam. I learned much about farming and the care of Above all. I was acquaint­ ed with my family. Those six years were far the most valuable of my whole life. On Sunday morning it was Sun­ day School and Church, where we al one time, had a partoc and three retired ministers in attendance. As we walked to church we could hear the bells of other churches; the Morgan Free Methodist, the North Maple Grove Evangelical, th* Quimby Methodist and the Baltimore United Bro them.

Snow Emergencies F«» out and wail this ad brims loateone mtenupri you ■asts Mdro Could Close Freeways »>•«• cmt In an attempt to reduce thr number of motorists stranded on treeways hy heavy snowstorms, the Michigan Stale Police and the Department of Stale Highways and Transports lioo have developed a joint plan to close freeways in advance of arras clogged by snow and stranded vehicles. In recent years, once or twice a winter, hundred* • motorists have been strati'! cd for up to two and three days when heavy and drift ing snow has halted vehiclt* on freeways? TbeTtritn.iii and often abandoned c hides have made snow eir ar ing impossible al times. Under provisions of a nr* plan to he implemented ! the first time this winter. Slate Police and the State Highways and Transport ! lion Department will vet up roadblocks to dose freewaj» whenever a storm make* driving extremely haaar dou* or impossible Roadblocks will be eslab ashed at points determined to be outside the perimeter* of the storm. Although ve hides in the storm area already will have been halt cd by the storm, the mad blocks will prevent addition al vehicles from entering the critical area. In addition to actual closures, the plan calls for an extensive communications system to aid in rescuing stranded motorists, to aid in snow clearing operation* and also to advise motorists well in advance that the freeway is closed ahead. Motorists headed towards a freeway closure will be advised to leave the freeway and to find shelter. When ever possible, freeway closures will be established at or near freeway exit* where emergency shelter* have been designated in advance, as part of the new plan. Still in the planning stage, shelter* are being designat cd by local agencies such as thcjged Cross and QvB Defense. Most designated shelter* probably will be school*, churches and civic centers. Most of the new emergen cy plan concern* cnoperat ivr and coordinated operations involving the Stale Police, State Highway* and Tran* portation Department, county road commission*, the Red Cross and Civil Defense. “The primary objective of this entire plan is to reduce tbe number of person* and vehicles stranded by a snow storm, and to rescue those already stranded." said Col. George L Halverson. Slate Police Director. According to the U.S. labor Department, work era' hourly earnings have increased by 73 percent since 1967.

Taipayers not only have to try to predict how next year* income will compare with this year's and decide what steps to take now to minimize tbe tax bill, but must do so under tbe new rules of the Tax Reform Art of 1978. This article, prepared by The Michigan Association of Certified Public Account­ ants, is aimed al making the annual tax planning chore a little easier by suggesting ways to shift income or deductions into a tax year in which Unde Sam's tax bite will be less severe, and otherwise to avoid payment of taxes unnecessarily. Effective on 1976 incomes, the standard deduction claimed b. those who don't itemize their deductions has been increased. It’s now 16 percent of adjusted gross income up to 12.400 (2.800 for couples filing jointly). What's more, it’s already reflected in tbs lax tables for taxpayers with incomes as high a. S20.000. If this causes you to decide to use the standard deduction, there are several things you might want to do now. If you expect to go back to itemizing next year, for example, defer until 1977 as many deductible expem, es as you can. Among the expenses whose timing can sometimes be controlled are charitable contributions, certain slate and local taxes, medical bills and health in­ surance premiums. In deciding whether to use the standard deduction, keep in mind that you can do so now while enjoying ths tax break given to working parents who have to pay someone to look after their children or other depen­ dents while tbe parents are al work. This formerly was limited to those who itemis­ ed. (Next year you will be able to claim a deduction for alimony you pay without having to itemize other de­ ductions. but not thia year; on 1976 returns. If you lake the standard deduction there’s no alimony deduc­ tion.) The CPA organization al­ so reminds you that possible future government actions may affect current tax plan­ ning decisions. For example, there lias been speculation that there might be an income tax cut early in 1977 to stimulate the economy. If you believe that this is likely to happen, or have boom other reason for expecting your tax burden to rase next year, you might try to defer some income into 1977. The most obvious way to do this is to delay the sale of an asset on which there will be a capita) gain. But some taxpayers also have a cer­ tain amount of control over the timing of other income such as bonuses, commis­ sions or royalties. Trades­ men or professional people, for example, might delay or advance their billings to eus lomers. For tboM who qualify, such as employees act cover ed by a pension or profit sharing plan, one good WRy to reduce taxable IncofM might be by investing as much as 15 percent of id justed gross income u^ to 11.500 in ah Individual Re­ tirement Account. IRA In­ vestments. and the d^i deads or interest they eafn. are tsxprotected until drawn out after retirement. The beauty of the 1RA ha a tax planning deviee is that you can wait until the dpsing days of the year before deciding how much of • a contribution to maha, thin protect as much as 15 per­ cent of income up to I1JC0 from taxation at this limn. You may have rand that some IRA investors now can increase their annual con­ tributions beyond 11.500, to provide retirement funds for a spouse. That does not apply to 1976; only subnequent years. If your employer termi­ nated a pension plan during the past two yean and gave you a cash aetllement, you can defer the tax on that, too. by reinvesting It la an IRA plan before the end of 1976. After that you’ll have only sixty days between settlemeat and reinvest­ ment in an IRA. The Michigan Association of CPAs reminds you that one other step you might want to take before the year ends is to have your employ­ er adjust the amount of income texes withheld from your final 1976 paychecks. If you are seriously underwriteheld, you can avoid penalty and interest by making up the deficiency before the end of the year.

Burton &amp; Co. were listed as the proprietors of the "Republican Banner", which first appeared here on May 1, 1856, with Dr. C. S. Burton as the publisher and Norman Bailey as editor.<br /><br />Publication office was on the second floor of the Rower Block, whose address was given as "corner of State and Church"; which corner was not specified.<br /><br />The objective of this publication was to win support for the newly created Republican party and thus counteract the influence of the Barry County Pioneer, a Democratic journal that had been published here since 1851. No copies of the first three issues of The Banner were saved.<br /><br />Make-up on the first journal corresponded with a pattern typical of most local journals then published. Page one contained a few columns of advertising, fiction (often a continued story), and a short feature of no particular news value. Page one was the "literary" page.<br /><br />Page two contained the editorial barbs, along with state news, political articles, Washington items and news of the national and territorial giovernments. Page three contained a few items of local news, sandwiched inbetween the local and foreign news.<br /><br />Page four was usually solid with advertising and as such was the editor's "bread and butter" page....Locally it was the pattern until the early 1880s.<br /><br />Several changes in ownership and management occurred during the first two years of publication, with J. M. Nevins taking over ownership interests on July 16, 1857. With the issue of May 7, 1862, "The Republican Banner" became "The Hastings Banner". Editor Nevins thought the village had developed sufficiently during the past several years to merit this recognition.<br /><br />Another major change in the management of The Banner came when Nevins sold the newspaper to George M. Dewey of Niles on March 14, 1866, who then took over as editor and publisher. Dewey, an ardent Republican and somewhat of a crusader, gave considerable space to editorial comment and party affairs and also directed pointed paragraphs against the saloons and local traffic in liquor. Dewey was the grandfather of Thomas E. Dewey, Republican presidential nominee in 1944 and 1948. Editor Dewey on May 4, 1870 changed the format (and name) of the paper to "Hastings Republican Banner". <br /><br />A fire in December 1883 burned The Banner plant (located in the middle of the block on the north side of State St. across from the courthouse). Files and back issues from August 1880 to December 1883 and the January 4, 1884 issues are missing.<br /><br />The Banner was purchased by Marshall L. Cook and George Bower on July 21, 1880. They changed the name to "The Hastings Banner". M. L. Cook soon became the sole owner and remained so until July 7, 1887 when Albert Nishern (M. L.'s brother-in-law) joined him. Albert Nishern sold his interest on November 6, 1889 to William Cook (M. L.'s younger brother).<br /><br />The Cook brothers partnership held together (56 years) ... Richard Cook followed his father into the newspaper business, and Richard's son William joined him. So the Cook family ownership continued for 85 years, from 1880 to 1974, when Richard and William sold the paper to High Fullerton. J-Ad Graphics became the owners of "The Hastings Banner" in August of 1981. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
